Chapter 8: 8

After everything had returned to normal, the tournament continued smoothly.

In the past, there were usually only forty to fifty participants in the tournament selection, but this time, with the appearance of Du Yingyun and the addition of multiple elements, the number of people had doubled, with around eighty people participating in the tournament.

As a result, the number of rounds of pre-screening changed from one round to two.

In other words, it was one-on-one, with the winner advancing and the loser leaving.

After two rounds of selection, there were about twenty people left, after which the final ten were decided in a round of battles to take part in the next event, the “Flower Drop”.

This is not really a fair process, and each match is even limited to half a quarter or seven or eight minutes at most, with a draw if no winner is reached.

After all, their aim is not really to fight to the death, but to show their strength or wealth, to get a smile from the beauty and become her first patron.

For the idle gentry, a courtesan can become a popular figure in Yinjing’s gentry circle for six or seven years, and if he becomes her first patron, during those six or seven years, he will have nothing to brag about to his friends.

The match went very quickly, as not everyone fought like Chu Fan and Liu Kexiong did. but more often than not, the winner was decided in two moves, or they would admit defeat at the beginning of the game, and then spend 110 silver to buy 11 golden flowers, beating the opposite 10 directly to win.

This match was very interesting to He Yunxiao, who was very impressed by the ability to pay money, whether in the past or in the future.

One round of the tournament soon ended, and the remaining forty people opened the second round of elimination.

The first match of the second round was again the main character, Chu Fan, who appeared on stage, and He Yunxiao’s heart jumped.

According to the original novel, it was in this match that he was cut off by Chu Fan’s sword.

As he watched Chu Fan take his sword onto the stage from the first floor viewing platform, He Yunxiao was secretly glad that he was lucky to have hugged Chu Xiaoxiao’s thigh early. Otherwise he would not have the chance to stick it to his sister Jiang now.

Chu Fan’s opponent soon took to the field, and even He Yunxiao didn’t expect that this one would be Liu Kaixiong again?

He Yunxiao secretly pitied him. “Brother Xiong is really unlucky. He bought someone else’s spot and this time he bought it for nothing. Not only did he buy it for nothing, he also had to take a beating. Brother Xiong’s martial arts skills are at least six or seven levels, so he would normally be in the top ten, but he never thought he would run into Chu Fan, a punk, every time. Brother Xiong, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I can’t beat punk myself.

He seemed to be sorry, but there was a sense of gloating after the disaster.

He Yunxiao was not able to rejoice for long, and soon felt the sharp edge on his back.

A sharp look crossed the vast hall and landed on his face.

Chu Xiaoxiao was looking at him.

He Yunxiao jerked his head towards Du Yinyun on his right, and without noticing, the unlucky girl was looking at Chu Fan again!

Oh no!

Ding bell!

A bell inaudible to normal people rang out.

The Soul Devouring Pill was instantly driven, and millions of worms began to tear at He Yunxiao’s flesh and bones.

In a flash, He Yunxiao gritted his teeth and was drenched in cold sweat.

Luckily, with Sister Jiang’s enhanced version of “Poison Resistance Boost”, the pain from the Soul Devouring Pill was weakened considerably and stayed within the range that He Yunxiao could barely tolerate.

He had survived, but not completely.

He Yunxiao’s abnormality also drew Jiang Wuyou’s attention next to him.

“Sir He, Wuyou has a scented bag that she forgot in her room, would you fetch it for my slave?”

The bell only rang once, so He Yunxiao endured it and returned to his normal self.

He knew that Sister Jiang was giving him a step to take, so he leaned into her ear and said quietly, “Sister, I’m fine.”

When he whispered, he even stole a kiss from Jiang’s milky white cheek.

Jiang Wuyou is not a shy little girl. On the contrary, she is still an experienced who can compete with He Yunxiao against each other. But a girl has to have some face, and just because she doesn’t mind in private doesn’t mean she is okay in public.

He likes to make small gestures in public, holding hands and rubbing up against each other, which makes Jiang Wuyou very uncomfortable.

Occasionally, she would give him a warning if he overstepped the mark.

This time, for example, she gave He Yunxiao a sharp glare.

He Yunxiao laughed heatedly.

I was wrong, sister. I dare to do it again.

However, the residual pain in his body made He Yunxiao lose heart in his jokes and deliberately said loudly, “Sister wants to eat sugar gourd? Then I’m going to go buy some!”

Saying this, he got up from his seat and asked a round to the girls on the martial arts viewing platform.

Each one was red-faced and said, “Thank you, Gongzi.”

When he finally asked about Du Yinyun, He Yunxiao deliberately curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

“Miss Du, I’m going to buy sugar gourds, do you want some? I will bring one for you.”

Treating Sister Jiang with impudence, he treated Sister Du with courtesy and deliberate rawness. The old mood management master.

She had known that he was coming to ask her, but it was only when he came up to her side and opened his mouth that Du Yinyun turned her face away.

Although she was looking forward to speaking to He Yunxiao, Du Yinyun was of a cool and indifferent nature and did not show too much of a desire to do anything.

With her face still expressionless, Du Yinyun nodded slightly, “Yinyun, many thanks, my lord.”

He Yunxiao nodded and said nonchalantly, “Well then, since you want sugar gourds, pay for them first.”

When Jiang Wuyou heard this, she secretly covered her mouth and smiled. She had originally been invited to compete with Du Yinyun for the limelight, so naturally she knew that this bad boy was all set to hit on Du.

She just didn’t expect that his trick to stir up the cold beauty’s emotions would be so straightforward.

Looking at Du’s sister, whose mouth was slightly open and her face stunned, He Yunxiao smiled brightly. Reaching out to lightly scratch Du Huaqui’s upturned nose, he said affectionately, “I’m teasing you, I will go first.”

[Du Yinyun’s favorability level changed from 66 to 65]

I’m sure it’s true!

He Yunxiao looked at Du Yinyun’s reduced favorability level and became even more certain of Du Yinyun’s personality.

This girl belonged to the alienation-type personality. In short, she puts a distance from everyone. If she was too close when her favorability level was not high enough, it would cause her to resent her. But once her level of favorability exceeds a certain threshold, she is a dog licker and cannot be shaken off.

Now is not the time to be concerned about a little favorability. She must be distracted from paying attention to Chu Fan. Otherwise, when Boss Xiao gets angry, it will be a disaster.

He Yunxiao analyzed the current situation as he descended the stairs.

The current situation is that sister Du’s favorability level for Chu Fan is very high, a full 70. Even if I try harder to raise sister Du’s favorability level for me, her 70 favorability level for Chu Fan will not change.

As long as that 70 favorability level remains the same, then no matter how hard I try, she will still pay attention to Chu Fan again. If I want to break her bond with the protagonist Chu Fan, I have to bring down her positive impression of Chu Fan!

Although He Yunxiao was anxious in his heart, he had to act as if he was walking leisurely on the surface.

Not only did he do so, but he also had to exchange pleasantries with a lot of people he knew.

As he exchanged pleasantries, He Yunxiao walked near Chu Xiaoxiao.

Only when he was close enough did He Yunxiao dare to use his internal energy to wrap a trace of his voice to reach Chu Xiaoxiao’s ears.

Otherwise, if the distance was too far, the internal force would transmit the sound and it would be easily detected.

He said, “See you at the usual place.”

Chu Xiaoxiao did not respond, but He Yunxiao believed that she had heard him.

So, after finding a few more buddies to blow off some steam, He Yunxiao walked out of the Spring Breeze Mansion and into the night.

It was only after a short while that Chu Xiaoxiao got up, patted her skirt, trotted, and went out too.

All this was done so stealthily that no one could guess. No one could see that there was anything fishy between Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao.

One of them was a commoner woman who had not long entered Yinjing City,, and the other was He Yunxiao, a notorious nobleman who had been famous in Yinjing for a long time.

There should have been no interaction at all.

Not to mention ordinary people, even He Yunxiao, who had opened his God’s perspective and read the novel, did not know that Chu Xiaoxiao was the hidden boss, and ordinary people would not expect it.

But the protagonist, Chu Fan, is not an ordinary person.

He was the only person in the world who cared about both Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao.

Although He Yunxiao’s actions were hidden, Chu Fan had been concerned about him from the very beginning. Chu Fan was at the peak of his ninth-grade cultivation, and with his single-minded pursuit of the sword, he could reach half-step mastery at any time. He Yunxiao’s eighth-grade strength, which he had obtained through the Soul Devouring Pill, was naturally no match for him.

The internal power transmitting voice was heard clearly.

Then, his sister Chu Xiaoxiao’s departure made his heart tremble even more.

“Go for it, Brother Liu! This time, you must beat Chu Fan to the ground!”

“That’s right! Liu Kaixiong is not allowed to lose. I’ve bet on you to win!”

“Old Xiong, if you win, you won’t have to pay back the money you borrowed from the brothers!”

The crowd was so excited that Liu Kaixiong had no choice but to wield his sword and fight hard.

Only this time, his opponent Chu Fan’s aura suddenly became incomparably bitter.

It was like a cat turning into a man-eating tiger!

“Noisy.”

Chu Fan was annoyed by the noise, and his green and white longsword slashed out a blinding slash of light. The sword in Liu Kai Xiong’s hand was sliced into two thin left and right slices along the blade.

The aura of a ninth-grade sword cultivator was on display.

The two slices of iron clanged to the ground.

The hall of the Spring Breeze Mansion was absolutely silent for a while, and even a pin drop could be heard.
