Chapter 282 - 282: Working With Qu Yu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Wencheng’s expression darkened when he heard Yu Xiaoxiao’s reminder. He no longer wasted time with Qu Yu and immediately leaped to the second floor. However, when he saw that the other party who was trying to snatch the Cuju ball was Yu Yunxi, he persuaded her gently, “Miss, I’m determined to take the Cuju ball down and win. Your martial arts are not bad, but I’m afraid that if you want to compete with us, it’ll be tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg.”

Yu Yunxi:

‘Where does he get his confidence from? Why is he so sure he’s going to win?’

Yu Yunxi did not bother to pay attention to Qin Wencheng at all. She reached out for the Cuju ball.

Qin Wencheng was slightly angry when he saw Yu Yunxi ignoring him.

‘Didn’t she hear me? I’m the heir of Duke Qin!’

Qin Wencheng gritted his teeth and attacked Yu Yunxi.

In order to avoid the attacks, Yu Yunxi had no choice but to give up on the Cuju ball for now.

Meng Xia, who was watching from below, murmured anxiously, “Eldest Princess!”

If Yu Yunxi had not expressly told her not to intervene, Meng Xia would have already flown up to deal with Qin Wencheng at this moment.

“Miss, I can give you whatever you want. You just need to give up on the Cuju ball. That’s the only thing I can’t give you,” Qin Wencheng said as he tried to suppress his anger. Seeing that Yu Yunxi was beautiful, he thought it would be a pity if he injured her. As such, he decided to persuade her one last time.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi laughed frostily. “You’re the heir of Duke Qin’s Residence, right? If you want the Cuju ball, then you have to rely on your own ability. How dare you ask me to give up?”

“You!”

Qin Wencheng did not expect Yu Yunxi to be so rude, and his face darkened in anger immediately.

At this moment, Jiang Hongfang, Ma Wanyang, and the others came over to Qin Wencheng’s side.

“Wencheng, why are you talking nonsense with her? Just snatch the Cuju ball!” With that, they attacked Yu Yunxi together.

The spectators standing on the ground were shocked when they saw this. It had been a long time since they had watched such an exciting match. Seeing how many nobles were participating, it was clear that Mountain Dwelling, the painting, and Fan Rou were very attractive prizes.

At the same time, the spectators felt that Yu Yunxi was rather ignorant. After all, many people had silently withdrawn after seeing nobles like Qin Wencheng and the others. On the contrary, Yu Yunxi was deliberately opposing them and did not give up on the Cuju ball. They thought that she was stupid.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was being attacked from all sides, Meng Xia grew even more anxious.

At this moment, Qu Yu flew over to Yu Yunxi’s side and said contemptuously,

“Aren’t you men ashamed of bullying a woman?”

Then, Qu Yu turned to Yu Yunxi and said, “Miss, don’t worry. I’ll help you!”

With that, Qu Yu started to fight Jiang Hongfang and the others with her bare hands.

“What an unruly woman!”

The men were naturally furious.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfang and the others were keeping Qu Yu and Yu Yunxi distracted, Qin Wencheng quickly seized the chance to snatch the Cuju ball away.

However, how could Yu Yunxi give Qin Wencheng such a chance? She said to

Qu Yu seriously, “I’ll stop them. You go and stop Qin Wencheng.”

Although this was the first time both of them met, they were very direct with each other.

Qu Yu nodded and made her wav to Qin Wenchenz.

Qin Wencheng was extra furious when he was stopped by Qu Yu just when victory was within his grasp. He said viciously, “Qu Yu, you’re always fighting and killing! Do you think you still look like a woman?”

“I don’t know if I look like a woman or not, but I know you’re petty and you don’t look like a man,” Qu Yu retorted expressionlessly.

Qin Wencheng was already seething with anger. When he attacked this time, he was very ruthless.

On the other side, Jiang Hongfang and the others were also prepared to fight Yu Yunxi to the death. However, after exchanging dozens of moves, they still did not obtain the upper hand.

Seeing that the spectators were pointing at them, Ma Wanyang felt extremely agitated, thinking that the others were ridiculing them for being inferior to a woman. With this, his attacks grew even more vicious and ruthless. When Yu Yunxi was not paying attention, he actually brought a dagger out.

“Eldest… Miss! Be careful!” Meng Xia called out anxiously when she saw Ma Wanyang’s dirty trick.

‘Ha, so the legitimate son of a commander is actually such a person,’ Yu Yunxi thought to herself as she scoffed coldly. At the same time, a silver needle shot out of her hand.

Subsequently, Ma Wanyang screamed and fell immediately.

Upon seeing this, Ma Wanyang’s two attendants ran over to catch him, and the three of them fell to the ground, looking extremely miserable.

“How dare you hurt Brother Wanyang?” Jiang Hongfang questioned angrily.

“Don’t worry. You’re next,” Yu Yunxi said coldly. She wanted to keep a low profile earlier so she did not exert her full strength. However, these people forced her to this point so there was no longer a need for her to be polite.

Yu Yunxi gathered her inner energy in her hand and quickly knocked Jiang Hongfang and the other two people down. Now that she was serious, they could not even withstand one move from her.

Meanwhile, Qu Yu, who heard the commotion, looked over, surprised. There were very few women with such powerful martial arts after all. When she regained her composure, she decided to end her battle with Qin Wencheng quickly. She did not consider Qin Wencheng’s feelings at all and directly kicked his stomach, kicking him down.

Almost immediately after, Yu Xiaoxiao screamed from below, “Brother

Wencheng! Are you alright?”

At this moment, Qu Yu was standing closest to the Cuju ball, but she was not in a hurry to take it down. Instead, she looked at Yu Yunxi, who was nearby, and asked with a smile, “Miss, why don’t we have a match?”

“Alright.” Yu Yunxi quickly nodded. She was not satisfied after fighting with the group of useless people earlier, and she wanted to have a good fight.

The two women did not waste time and began to fight. However, after more than twenty moves, Qu Yu fell into a slightly disadvantageous position. In the end, she withdrew her hands and said magnanimously, “You’re stronger than I am. I admit defeat.

Many people were surprised when they heard Qu Yu’s words. After all, all of them knew General Qu thought highly of Qu Yu and that she was superior to her brothers. In the past, she had even followed General Qu to war. Even the Emperor praised her. It was only natural that they were shocked after they heard her saying she was not as strong as an unknown woman.

Yu Yunxi was not pretentious. She nodded and said, “Miss Qu’s martial arts are also very powerful.”

Following that, Yu Yunxi took the Cuju ball down from the ceiling and easily landed on the ground.

At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao could no longer endure it. She berated angrily, “You’re too despicable! You actually used a dirty trick on Brother Wanyang.”

‘Dirty trick?’

Everyone looked over and saw the silver needle on Ma Wanyang’s wrist.

Qu Yu walked over and said, as though she was protecting a child, “Yu Xiaoxiao, you’re mistaken. The despicable person should be Ma Wanyang, right? Do you think we didn’t notice that she tried to stab this girl here with a dagger earlier?”

Everyone’s expression turned strange immediately when they heard this. After all, they had all seen Ma Wanyang’s action earlier.

Qin Wanyang’s expression was very unsightly at this moment. He scolded Ma Wanyang’s attendants, saying, “Alright. Hurry up and bring your young master to see a doctor!”

“Yes.”

With this, Ma Wanyang and his attendants left dejectedly.

At the same time, Qin Wencheng suppressed his anger and walked over. He lowered his voice and said to Yu Yunxi, “Miss, this Cuju ball is useless to you. How much money do you want? I’ll give it to you. In fact, all I want is the Mountain Dwelling painting..”
