Chapter 146 - 16: Catching the Thief along with the Stolen Goods
According to the rules of Hongwu Hall... strength is revered...
"Second Miss Lan, do you mean to..." The voice of Heir Qing carried a trace of doubt.
Before his words could fall, suddenly a light and extraordinary figure glided through, dancing like a colorful phoenix, fluttering as if soaring. With a few thumping sounds, those who had been surrounding Ye Lingyue were all lying on the ground, groaning incessantly, unable to climb back up.
"Listen up, I, Ye Lingyue, challenge Yu Zhao to a duel. If I lose, I’ll accept a body search. But if I win, Yu Zhao will kneel thrice and kowtow nine times, admit his wrong towards Liu Cheng, and from now on, he will cease to harass him," said Ye Lingyue, her Liu Mei eyebrows lifted. Despite being a woman, at this moment, her heroic spirit was astonishing.
Hong Yulang and Yu Zhao were both stunned.
In Hongwu Hall, challenges between martial artists were not uncommon, but for a low-cultivation to challenge a high-cultivation martial artist, and moreover, for a female martial artist who had just arrived for a day to challenge a male martial artist, that was unprecedented.
"Ye Lingyue, don’t think that just because you are Lan Yingwu’s daughter, you can look down on everyone just like your sister. If we really fight, don’t blame me if you end up losing arms or legs," Yu Zhao, caught between shock and disdain, said after taking off his outer garment, his eyes fierce as he stared at Ye Lingyue while a bloodthirsty smile hooked at the corner of his mouth.
The martial artists around hurriedly carried away those who had fallen.
Those people didn’t know what had happened; after they fell, they were like smashed persimmons and couldn’t get back up.
"Young Master Hong, who do you think will win between them?" Heir Qinghai lowered his eyes, hiding the gleam within, and spoke with an air of nonchalance, as though he was simply chatting with Hong Yulang about everyday matters.
