Fang Yu and his companions leave Anqiao Pavilion after obtaining information. Meanwhile, Hei Ao and Zuo Lv, also from Jue Sect, plan to return with their findings and confront someone at Chunhong House. The scene shifts to Chunhong House, bustling with anticipation for a martial confrontation between Qian Wu and a member of the Bo family. Qian Wu arrives to great fanfare, while Fang Yu observes, noting Qian Wu's decent talent.

"Husband, how do you plan to approach Young Master Bo Fu? Help him win this duel?"

Fang Yu shook his head.

"I want him to lose. And then I’ll step in to help him."

"It seems like Husband already has a plan."

It’s not really a plan, just a thought for now.

Specifically, it will depend on the situation at the scene, and then adjustments will be made.

Anyway, the goal is to get close to Young Master Bo Fu, gather intelligence on the Bo family, confirm there’s no threat, then identify with the token and gain the Bo family’s assistance.

Fang Yu was thinking about this when he suddenly seemed to see something, and his expression froze.

"Why is she here?"

Ding Hui followed Fang Yu’s gaze and saw a woman in pink clothes right on a private seat on the third floor, overlooking below.

Zhuge... Shi?

Even though Ding Hui was also puzzled as to why this woman appeared here, he quickly noticed that this woman seemed to have not noticed their presence.

"Husband, step back, let’s find another place to avoid being discovered by her."

"No need. If she sees us, she sees us. With her ability, she shouldn’t be able to see through my methods," Fang Yu said confidently.

"Husband, better safe than sorry."

Hearing Ding Hui say this, Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"I’ll listen to you."

However, Fang Yu didn’t notice that as the three began to move, they were immediately spotted by Zhuge Shi on the private seat.

"Oh? They’re here too?"

Seeing familiar faces, a slight smile appeared on Zhuge Shi’s lips.

That day, someone saved her; she just didn’t want to reveal her identity.

Otherwise, a mere demon wouldn’t have been her match at all.

Now that she’s in the Capital, she needed to conceal her identity even more.

The alias Hei Ningyu was still facing a wanted notice from the Da Xia Dynasty.

If she caused chaos here, she was worried she wouldn’t survive the night.

"It’s hard to guess the Master’s thoughts."

Zhuge Shi beckoned to the person beside her.

"Keep an eye on them, don’t let them ruin things."

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhuge Shi finished speaking, a burst of intense shouting erupted on the scene.

Looking down, it was indeed the Bo family’s young man entering the arena.

He looks to my liking.

Unfortunately, he’s already as good as dead.

Zhuge Shi watched below with a smile, and someone tried to approach her from the side, but was directly blocked by her men.

"Don’t misunderstand, I just want to get to know this young lady."

It was a young gentleman, who seemed to mistake Zhuge Shi for a lady from Chunhong House and wanted to get acquainted.

Too bad.

"Scram!"

A large hand pushed, and the young gentleman was directly knocked to the ground with anger on his face, but after seeing the burly physique of those guards, he immediately lowered his head and left in embarrassment.

And from beginning to end, Zhuge Shi never glanced in that direction.

Honestly, with her pink attire, which made her quite conspicuous even in the Capital, it wouldn’t have been so noticeable to Fang Yu otherwise.

But Zhuge Shi didn’t care about these things; her gaze followed the movements of Young Master Bo Fu below.

The protagonists of tonight were undoubtedly Young Master Bo Fu and Young Master Qian Wu.

That’s what everyone thought until...

"Sister Qianqian suddenly adds a rule! For this martial duel, two additional contestants are being added!"

A woman quickly ran over and loudly announced this news.

Upon these words, everyone froze in shock.

Then, it turned into a noisy discussion like a marketplace.

"What’s going on? Right before the duel, they suddenly add people? Does this mean they look down on Young Master Bo Fu and Young Master Qian Wu?"

"Ha! This Miss Qianqian really is arrogant, isn’t afraid to die, huh? The two young masters agreed to your rules because they were interested in you. Do you think they won’t turn against you for messing around like this?"

"Ignorant! This is practically seeking death! I think, regardless of whether Young Master Bo Fu or Young Master Qian Wu wins tonight, Miss Qianqian won’t have a good end."

The discussions were loud and unrestrained.

Even Fang Yu noticed something was off.

How dare a mere courtesan be so disrespectful?

The two young masters fighting over love is a matter of pleasure and interest, but adding stakes yourself is ungrateful and shameless.

Sure enough, amidst the public opinion, whether it was the previously smug Young Master Qian Wu or the swaggering Young Master Bo Fu, their expressions were not looking good.

Clap!

A follower beside Qian Wu suddenly slammed the table and cursed in anger.

"Bitch! Who are you to add contestants? Who do you think you are! Bring Miss Qianqian out! Our young master wants to talk to her face to face!"

Bo Fu also wore a dark expression. Although he said nothing, others could clearly see his anger.

They participated in the martial duel willingly, not because Miss Qianqian said so! A mere woman shouldn’t think too highly of herself!

The woman who announced the rule was also so scared by the scene that her legs trembled, cold sweat on her face, but she still forced herself to speak.

"Sister... Sister Qianqian said she won’t show up until the duel results are out."

At this point, Bo Fu was so furious that he laughed on the spot.

What he thought was a hero paired with a beauty, where the man has talent and the woman has intent, now turned out to be a case of having his sincerity exploited for profit!

"No need. No need for her to show up, I’ll win the contest and meet her myself."

Bo Fu looked up and stared directly at Qian Wu across from him.

Qian Wu slightly frowned upon meeting the gaze.

In a way, the duel between the two of them was the main focus of the night, and the supposed woman was just an added bonus to the duel.

Everyone understood this, but the one who was supposed to be the head sought to outdo the main event, which was laughable.

Nevertheless, it’s fine.

A mere woman can be dealt with later.

For now, the most important thing is to win the contest and gain fame!

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Bo, these two are the additional contestants, and they are... your opponents."

The woman who had announced the added contestants led two masked strongmen toward the stage.

The crowd looked carefully but couldn’t see anything special.

Qian Wu sneered, "Covering up, such a despicable act!"

With that, he leaped from his seat and jumped onto the stage!

"Hmph!"

Bo Fu said nothing, just snorted coldly and similarly jumped onto the stage.

Though the two hadn’t spoken, they both understood that if they couldn’t even deal with the opponents arranged by Miss Qianqian, they wouldn’t be qualified to face each other.

"Even though I don’t know what you’re up to, Qianqian, I must win this battle!" thought Qian Wu as he launched a punch at the masked strongman who had just taken the stage!

Buzz!

In the next instant, Qian Wu’s expression changed!

Because just before his fist made contact with the masked strongman, an invisible force blocked it from a distance!

"This is... the power of the Spirit?! A Believer??"

Startled, Qian Wu shouted.

"Halberd, come!"

Swish!

The Long Halberd flew towards Qian Wu as if pulled by some force!

On the other side, the battle between Bo Fu and the masked strongman had also begun; indeed, his opponent was also... a Believer!

The four of them mixed in combat on stage, creating a chaotic and exciting scene that elicited cheers from the crowd, pushing the atmosphere to a peak.

In the private seat, Zhuge Shi sipped tea and watched the scene below indifferently, while someone beside her quickly took notes.

A closer look would reveal that the notes recorded various data about the masked strongmen, such as their attack speed, performance of Spirit abilities, and any drop in their usual capabilities.

"Spirit Slave pseudo numbers: 12645, 12646."

"Internal numbers: 99, 100."

"Also known as Slave 99 and 100."

"Let me see to what extent your organization’s two test subjects can perform."

Zhuge Shi watched the melee below with anticipation.

And below her, on the lower floor, Fang Yu was frowning as he observed the unforeseen circumstances, lost in thought.

"Husband, how will you step in to help?"

"Husband?"

Ding Hui wanted to ask more, but saw Fang Yu suddenly turn his head to look at her.

"It just feels... off. Does that woman called Qianqian really have the guts to toy with these two? Or is she already harmed and someone’s using her name to stir things up?"

...
