The various powers in Xingqing Prefecture were in an uproar. Just like that, another day passed. The postponed competition was finally held again.
Because Song Qingshu was the last to fight on the first day, it was his turn to fight first. Because he didn't return home for a few nights, Xue Baochai was extremely dissatisfied with him and ignored him completely.
When they reached the arena, Song Qingshu finally found a chance to talk to her. "Sister Bao, why didn't you give me special treatment this time and teach me some techniques to fight later?"
Xue Baochai rolled her eyes. "Remember to admit defeat later, otherwise you'll be beaten to death."
Song Qingshu's face was gloomy. "Is there anyone who cheers like you?"
Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still couldn't bear it. She patiently explained, "The previous opponents in the group matches weren't strong, so it was useful for me to target their martial arts with special training. This young master of Peerless City, I've specially seen him fight in the group matches. His martial arts are all very exquisite and mysterious, far beyond what you can handle. No amount of special training will help, so it's best for you to admit defeat immediately."
"He admitted defeat in front of so many people without even fighting. He really can't afford to lose face like this." Song Qingshu also had a headache. Although Dugu Ming wasn't a top-notch expert, he was well-versed in martial arts. In front of so many people, it wouldn't be easy for Song Qingshu to defeat him without exposing his martial arts.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be?" Xue Baochai suddenly got angry.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she got angry for no reason, Song Qingshu was confused.
Xue Baochai glared at him hatefully and replied, "You've been flirting with his fiancée all this time, which man can withstand such provocation? Looking at Dugu Ming's stance, it's obvious that he's going to kill you later. Because this is the arena, as long as he tries to shirk responsibility, we won't be able to hold him responsible. If you don't admit defeat immediately, he might just kill you. You won't even be able to keep your life, so why would you care about embarrassing yourself? "
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly. "The Dual Cultivation Princess isn't his fiancée …"
"I can't be bothered with you." Xue Baochai immediately turned around and left. She sat on her seat with her mouth puffed up. She was obviously sulking.
"Did you make Miss Xue angry again?" A teasing voice came from the side.
Song Qingshu turned around and discovered that the yellow-robed woman was currently dressed as a man. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was truly incomparably beautiful. If it wasn't for the inside story of this betrothal contest, if it was any other princess, they might not be able to resist secretly falling in love with her.
"Are you here to make fun of me too?" Song Qingshu leaned over and asked, "Do you have any special techniques that you can teach me so that I can deal with Dugu Ming later?"
He still hadn't thought of how to deal with Du Guming. He couldn't just throw money at him, right? Du Guming was the future lord of a city, and he wasn't like those poor bastards from the Yellow River Gang.
"No!" The yellow-robed woman flatly refused. "Even if you have such a short time, you won't be able to learn it. You'd better listen to Baochai and admit defeat."
Song Qingshu suddenly asked, "If I can pass, does your previous agreement still count?"
"Agreement?" The yellow-robed woman was stunned at first, then she reacted. "You're really daring. Even if we were to meet, we'd have to wait until the quarterfinals. Not to mention whether you can advance or not, I'm not even sure if you can make it that far."
"What if I'm lucky?" Song Qingshu said with a smile.
"If you can really make it to me, then I'll give way to you." The yellow-robed woman didn't mind. After all, she was a woman dressed as a man, so she couldn't really marry the princess. Reaching that far was already enough for the imperial court. Huaxiu Chinese
"That's good." Song Qingshu heaved a sigh of relief. He already had a headache facing Dugu Ming, not to mention an expert like the yellow-robed woman. It was impossible to defeat her without exposing his martial arts.
Noticing his expression, the yellow-robed woman couldn't help but be amused. "Do you really think you can advance all the way?" She couldn't be bothered with him after she finished speaking. She ran to Xue Baochai's side and whispered to her.
Noticing that the two women were staring at him from time to time, Song Qingshu knew that they were probably laughing at him now. He smiled faintly and didn't care at all.
"The first match, the young master of Peerless City versus Young Master Jia from the Great Song. Please come on stage!" There was already a referee on the stage calling for the two of them. Song Qingshu instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Unlike the group stage, the people in the elimination round could all become one's future opponent. Therefore, most of the participants wouldn't miss the opportunity to observe their opponents in every match. They wanted to know the characteristics and weaknesses of their opponents in advance so that they could target them in the future.
However, seeing that it was him, everyone quickly looked away. The news of him using money to bribe his opponent to advance had already spread. His reputation as a shameless person had already spread, and almost everyone looked down on him.
Although most people's attention was on Dugu Ming, there were also a few people who were curious about what Song Qingshu was going to do this time. Was he going to bribe his opponent with money?
Song Qingshu was also under a lot of pressure at this moment. His mind was quickly filtering through all kinds of methods he could use. Actually, it wasn't difficult to deal with Dugu Ming, but there were still so many matches after that. The people after that would be even more difficult to deal with. If he used some of his methods in advance, what would he do in the future?
His expression was solemn, and his footsteps were slow. In the eyes of the others, they only thought that he was afraid. Immediately, the crowd booed.
On the side of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zhongjie snorted with some dissatisfaction. "They're all stupid people."
Beside him, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but laugh. "They can't be blamed. Even I, who know his identity, am curious about how he will deal with it."
"He must have a way." Wanyan Zhongjie also couldn't think of a way, but he had full confidence in him.
Just as he was about to enter the arena, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed in the corner. Her face was covered with a light veil, and her figure was graceful. Who else could it be other than the Dual Cultivation Princess?
"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything." Gu Zi Xian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to speak to him in front of so many people. She naturally knew about Song Qingshu's martial arts, but at the same time, she also knew that he didn't want to reveal it. Thus, she considerately thought of a way for him.
"What way?" Song Qingshu was stunned. He didn't expect such a turn of events.
Gu Zi Xian was about to reply when Dugu Ming's angry voice sounded from the arena. "Surnamed Jia, are you going to come up or not? If you continue to be so wishy-washy, I'll take it that you've forfeited."
At this moment, Dugu Ming's eyes were about to spit fire. He never thought that in front of so many people, his fiancée would run over and whisper to someone else. Feeling the gazes of the others, he seemed to be full of mockery and contempt.
Originally, he was still a little hesitant. At first, he only wanted to teach him a lesson, but now, he was already filled with killing intent.
"Xian 'er, come back quickly." In the distance, the Dual Cultivation Princess frowned. Her daughter was really too careless. In front of so many people, she didn't give Peerless Sword City any face.
Gu Zi Xian had no choice but to give Song Qingshu an apologetic look. She hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and ran back.
