Chapter 72: Chapter 71 Battle of the Arena

"Young Master!"

Liu Rushi strolled over from a distance, smiling.

Today is the contest for the position of West District Hall Master.

In the Chen Mansion, only she and the main character, Chen Xuan, knew about it.

However, Liu Rushi wasn’t worried about him at all, instead she absolutely believed that Chen Xuan would win.

"Rushi has come."

Chen Xuan’s serious face also showed a smile at this moment, for some reason, every time he saw her, his mood improved significantly.

"Yes," Liu Rushi came to his side, and the two looked out into the distance shoulder to shoulder.

"Master Chen sent someone, the time is around noon, someone will take you to the black market center by then."

"And the Master?" By what she said, was he not coming today?

"Master Chen will be there. He asked me to tell you, let go and do it, don’t have any scruples, but there is only one chance!"

Liu Rushi knew he would kill someone.

But,

just as Master Chen said, under such circumstances, there are Primordial Thunder and Zuo Qiu Ming present.

To kill Yao Tian, it must be a single fatal blow.

Otherwise, there would be no more chances.

"Understood." Chen Xuan nodded lightly.

In his heart, he had long planned, and he believed that, facing absolute strength, Yao Tian was like meat on a cutting board, at his mercy.

However, he instructed Liu Rushi, "Don’t mention this to them. After lunch, I’ll just say I have a matter to attend to at the black market."

Such things, telling Su Wanqiu and the others would only increase their worry unnecessarily.

No need for that.

"Rushi understands!"

....

Today, the black market pier was especially lively.

Group after group of people arrived here.

And none of them were not notable figures from Yunze County.

But even these people must obediently sit the small boat from the pier to reach the black market.

That’s the rule of the black market!

No matter who you are, you must follow it.

"Uncle Pei, Brother Pei, Yuenan." Chen Qi greeted them.

"Where’s your father? Are you going alone?"

Pei Geng actually admired him in his heart; strategic and with notable Martial Dao talent.

He could be said to be a literary and martial talent.

In recent years, the matters of the Chen Family were almost all handled by him, while Chen Fangyuan, that old fellow, had mostly retired.

He couldn’t help but feel envious of this.

He himself was also tired, but... Pei Hu... ah!

Fortunately, his precious daughter Pei Yuenan had been helping him, also saving him a lot of worry.

There were already rumors among the upper class of Yunze County that Pei Yuenan might marry into the Chen Family.

But he immediately denied it.

It’s not that Chen Qi isn’t excellent; on the contrary,

in Yunze County, if anyone truly deserved his precious daughter, it would only be him.

But unless absolutely necessary, he did not wish for this marriage.

Unless one day the Chen and Pei families were so oppressed by the Yao Family that they couldn’t breathe, he would consider it.

Otherwise, she was to make her own decisions about her own matters.

Perhaps the entire Yunze County only Pei Yuenan could make her own decisions about her marriage!

"My father hardly manages things now, focusing on his gardening hobby at home, you know he loves that."

Actually, he asked Chen Fangyuan today, as this was still an occasion that required the presence of the Chen Family Patriarch.

But his old father just calmly said, the Chen Family is already yours, deal with these matters yourself, I don’t care!

To this, he had no solution.

He could only take two sixth-grade experts from the family himself.

"The old fellow really knows how to slack off, unlike me, let’s go together!"

"Uncle, please go first!"

Chen Qi extended a hand, showing etiquette.

Pei Geng nodded silently, feeling more and more satisfied with him. However, his own son, truly had the temperament of a reckless brute, how fitting the name "Hu" was chosen.

It’s really apt.

The group gradually boarded the same boat.

But only Pei Geng went inside the cabin.

The others all stood outside.

At this time, Chen Qi asked Pei Yuenan on the side, "Little Sister Yuenan, do you think highly of the Yao Family?"

"Not highly!"

"Why?"

"Doesn’t Brother Chen Qi think the same?" Pei Yuenan looked at him, asking with a knowing expression.

"Haha, of course not highly!"

The people here were all on the same path, so Chen Qi had no reservations.

"Then that’s settled."

....

Chen Mansion.

Lunch today was earlier than usual.

Chen Xuan stood up after taking a few bites, "I’m going to the black market for a bit!"

"Brother Xuan, are you going to the black market?"

"Yes!"

"Can I go with you?" Su Yun tentatively asked.

"You better focus on cultivation with Rushi, don’t think about such nonsense, and advance early!"

Chen Xuan immediately dispelled her little scheme.

"Alright then!" Su Yun instantly sulked like a withered eggplant and continued eating.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan helplessly shook his head.

This little girl was just like an old ox, requiring someone with a whip behind her and needing occasional whippings to make progress.

But Su Wanqiu, at this time, also got up and came to his side.

Very considerately, she helped straighten his clothes, whispering as she tidied his collar, "Be careful, Yun’er and I will be waiting for you at home!"

"Hmm!"

Brother Xuan nodded and touched her hair.

Nothing can be hidden from her.

After Chen Xuan left, Su Wanqiu sat there in a daze. Although she didn’t know what he was going to the black market for, she could clearly feel his odd behavior these past few days.

Though he was no longer the ordinary hunter from Shuanggang Village.

As his woman, she couldn’t help but worry a little.

"Alright, Sister Wanqiu, it’s nothing. Master Chen is here!"

Liu Rushi leaned to her ear and softly comforted her.

Since these two sisters came to the Chen Mansion, she had grown fond of them.

Little Sister Yun, lively and innocent, often like a child, but such a person has no ill intentions and is easy to get along with.

As for Su Wanqiu, the elder sister, she’s gentle and considerate, giving her the feeling of an older sister next door.

Sometimes she even felt that Su Wanqiu was her own sister.

"Thank you, Little Sister."

Su Wanqiu looked at her gratefully, knowing in her heart that Liu Rushi must know what Chen Xuan went to the black market for, but she didn’t ask.

In her heart,

there’s a reason for Chen Xuan’s silence, and as his woman, she would follow his arrangements.

However,

her gaze fell on Little Sister Yun, and she shook her head helplessly.

"Actually, being like Little Sister Yun is great, plus, the young master likes her, isn’t that enough?"

"Yes, just liking her is enough!"

...

At the center of the black market.

A huge stage.

It was almost noon, and the battle for the position of the West District Hall Master was near.

The stage was almost completely surrounded by people.

These people were all notable figures in Yunze County, but even they could only stand here, without the privilege of sitting.

Not far from the stage stood a three-story pavilion.

At this moment, on the third floor,

Primordial Thunder and Zuo Qiu Ming were prominently present.

The two gazed downward.

"Who do you think will win?"

Primordial Thunder asked. He hadn’t met Chen Xuan and knew nothing of his strength.

"How should I know?"

Zuo Qiu Ming shrugged, looking indifferent.

Who wins or loses isn’t his concern, the Yao Family was given the opportunity, whether they can seize it isn’t his problem.

"Haha, you’re really something else."

Primordial Thunder laughed and cursed, thinking the old man truly shameless.

...

At this moment, at the stage,

Pei Geng and his group arrived late.

"Brother Pei is here."

"Brother Yao, congratulations in advance. Nephew Yao Tian is already at the sixth rank, it seems the position of the West District Hall Master is practically in the bag!"

Pei Geng cupped his hands and congratulated with a smile.

"Tian’Er, thank your Uncle Pei!"

Yao De said to Yao Tian beside him.

"Thank you, Uncle Pei. When the time comes, just say the word, and you can choose any shop in the West District!"

Yao Tian displayed great generosity.

"Too arrogant, Yao Tian! You still don’t know who will win or lose!"

Pei Hu roared angrily at his arrogance.

For a junior to speak such words was an insult to his father.

How could he possibly swallow his pride at this moment?

"Huzi, don’t speak nonsense. You’re being inappropriate in front of Patriarch Yao, show some manners."

"Understood, Dad, it’s my fault." Pei Hu replied with a teachable attitude, then turned respectfully to Yao De to apologize, "I apologize for my rudeness, Patriarch Yao. I’m just a crude person and sometimes can’t control my filthy mouth!"

He finished, and then gave himself a hard slap.

Instantly,

Yao Tian’s face turned black.

Pei Hu had slapped him in front of so many people.

And Chen Qi watched the drama, surprised to see Pei Hu, known for his roughness, show such finesse.

That slap was really loud!

To know that those present were almost all notable figures in Yunze County.

"Yao Tian is really embarrassed now, especially to disgrace the Yao Family in public."

He was very pleased to see this scene.

"Alright, it’s about to start, go prepare yourself."

Although unhappy with his behavior, Yao De refrained from scolding his son in front of so many people to save face.

"Yes, Dad!"

Yao Tian replied with a lowered head, but when he raised it, he gave Pei Hu a vicious glare.

Yet Pei Hu only responded with a cheerful smile.

The spectators, especially those from the Chen and Pei family factions, stifled their laughter, some faces turning red.

Pei Geng, however, patted Pei Hu’s shoulder vigorously, a smile in his eyes. Though he said nothing, the smile said it all.

Despite being often upset by his son’s foolish actions, just that slap was enough to make him happy for months.

"Dad, Dad, it hurts!"

Pei Hu feigned a look of grievance.

"Alright, now that almost everyone is here, the battle for the position of the West District Hall Master should begin."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe walked over from afar, followed by two maidservants.

As soon as this person appeared, everyone present almost simultaneously bowed respectfully, "Greetings to Chief Steward Ning!"

Ning Xian, the second-in-command of the black market and confidant of Primordial Thunder.

Such a battle for the West District Hall Master certainly needed a black market heavyweight to preside over it.

And with his fifth-rank as a martial artist and status as the second-in-command of the black market, he was more than suitable.
