Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1271

After the account manager reported financial issues within the Hundred Flowers Gate, He Jiaqing discussed the nature of Puluo State's fear and momentum with Big Head. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiuling and Fu Lianhong attempted to flee the city, but He Jiaqing intercepted them. He Jiaqing invited Zhang Xiuling to a literary salon, proposing a competition with Shen Rongqing for the title of 'first talented woman.' When Fu Lianhong tried to use her Searching Ink Technique and Zhang Xiuling attempted her Word Worth a Thousand Gold technique, they found their abilities nullified. Even Zhang Xiuling's attempt to write with sand was thwarted by He Jiaqing, who effortlessly stole the sand.
