“You…” Yang Feng’s expression became complicated. He stared at Hong Qinghe in a daze. The frustration from being at the losing end in that exchange was evident in his eyes.

No matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to the man in front of him.

“You have integrated with your spear, and I have integrated with my ruler. Since our cultivation has already reached such a stage, why don’t we call this match a draw?” Surprisingly, Hong Qinghe chose to stop at this point.

However, everyone knew that if the match continued, Hong Qinghe would definitely defeat Yang Feng as he had always done in past years.

Yang Feng regained his senses and smiled. “You don’t have to say anymore. I know that I’m not a match for you. I have lost. It seems like, Brother Hong, you have taken first place again this year.”

Leaving those words, Yang Feng suavely hopped off the stage. He wasn’t very sad about his loss.

“This man…” Lou Qianxue touched her chin. “He’s not very annoying. At least, he’s much better than his brother.”

Yang Feng was the opponent Lou Jinglei wanted her to defeat, and he was also her target at the Fenghua Banquet.

“However… Hong Qinghe… integration of the ruler and the man? He’s so good at making things up. It just means that he has comprehended the martial art markings on the Infinite Ruler.” Lou Qianxue shook her head. For some reason, she felt like she was more familiar with Hong Qinghe now.

Yang Feng’s actions of stepping down surprised Hong Qinghe, but he followed him off the stage.

Although the battle between the two was short, everyone was very happy to have watched them. “Young Master Qinghe and Young Master Feng are so impressive. They are also magnanimous and have the demeanor of generals. In the future, they will definitely be among the top experts!”

“Yes, but in our Fengyang prefecture, there is another person who is more powerful than them. He is the young master who is surprisingly talented, but has been away from Fengyang Prefecture for many years. I wonder how he is doing now.”

“This makes me remember that this year, the Third Young Master of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion has also come to the banquet. I heard that he’s very good. Maybe he can compete for the top three positions. Who knows, he could even be better than Young Master Qinghe…”

No way? Young Master Qinghe is so powerful, would Third Young Master be even better?

While the crowd discussed, Hong Qinghe and Yang Feng had already returned to their seats.

Mu Wuxin, who was sitting on the same table, looked at them with a bitter smile. “The two of you are really amazing. One has reached the realm of integration of the man and the spear, and the other has reached the realm of integration of man and ruler. I can’t catch up to you both even if I whip my horses.”

Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder. “Then you shall always be known as the ‘Forever Third.’”

Mu Wuxin shook his head and smiled. He said, “You guys have a good rest. I’m going to meet that Third Young Master and see how good he is.”

Hong Qinghe nodded. “Alright, but be careful.”

The Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Fengyang Prefecture was very powerful. As such, the other powers within the prefecture had a good relationship with each other.

“Mmh!” Mu Wuxin got up and looked at Third Young Master. The two of them happened to meet eyes, and Mu Wuxin’s eyes glowed as he asked, “Third Young Master, I have heard about you. Would you like to compare notes with me?”

“Of course.” Third Young Master loftily stood up.

Today, he had only come here for one purpose: the first place. He would defeat everyone here.

That was the reason he had not taken any action or immediately taught the two b*tches, Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao, a lesson.

He could only bother to deal with those mediocre people after he had dealt with Hong Qinghe, Yang Feng, and Mu Quxin, the three pricks he could not underestimate…

“After Young Master Qinghe and Young Master Feng, Young Master Wuxin is finally going to fight.”

“I wonder who is better, him or Third Young Master!”

“This is the first time that Third Young Master has participated in the Fenghua Banquet. Everyone says that he has the ability to compete for the top three, and Young Master Wuxin happens to be in the third place. If Third Young Master defeats Young Master Wuxin, he can take Young Master Wuxin’s place as the third ranked youth amongst the younger generation in Fengyang prefecture.”

Everyone excitedly discussed the match that was about to begin.

Meanwhile, Young Master Yang Yan stood beside Yang Feng and said in a suppressed tone. “Brother, you have already reached the realm of spear-man integration. It’s great! But don’t forget what you promised me earlier on!”

“I know. Lou Qianxue, right? Don’t worry. I remember. When Mu Wuxin finishes his fight, I will take revenge for you!”
