New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

The night fell on the earth, the sky was full of stars and the moon was bright. Yunzhou City was still full of noise and prosperity, with cars and people coming and going on the streets. The ring was surrounded by exquisite lanterns, adding a mysterious and romantic atmosphere to the night. People gathered in front of the ring, looking forward to seeing how the champions after the four masters would end today's competition in a perfect and smooth way.

However, in sharp contrast to this lively scene, the atmosphere in the room on the second floor of the inn opposite was tense and solemn. Duanmu Qing and Huo Chengyue sat at the table with serious faces. Ziwei and others could not help but feel worried and anxious after hearing the news that martial arts masters or even Japanese pirates might appear tomorrow, and they started discussing. For a while, no one paid attention to the ring competition being held below the stage.

"Uncle Duanmu, what do you mean by what you just said? Why can those Japanese pirates participate in the competition? Don't they know that they have become the enemy of our Qing Dynasty? We have been trying to eliminate them, but they have the nerve to come to our martial arts conference! Aren't they afraid of being caught by us?" Qing'er frowned, with confusion and anger in her tone, and asked Duanmu Qing the common question in everyone's mind. Her eyes were firm, revealing her hatred for these Japanese pirates.

After hearing this, the others nodded repeatedly. When they thought about how the Japanese pirates had often harassed their border residents and killed their compatriots over the years, and how many of them had even skinned and pulled out their tendons in an attempt to disguise themselves as our compatriots, just thinking about it made them feel deep-seated anger and hatred towards the Japanese pirates' actions.

However, everyone was still full of questions: What confidence did these Japanese pirates have to challenge the martial arts conference so blatantly? Did they really think they could make waves in this martial arts conference? After all, there were many masters in the martial arts world, including the martial arts leader and other masters.

Duanmu Qing and Huo Chengyue looked at each other and sighed. Duanmu Qing continued, "This is all because of Mr. Lin. When he first announced the rules, he said there would be no age limit or any other restrictions, which led to the pirates becoming restless."

These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Some people thought that Mr. Lin was too careless and failed to foresee that the Japanese pirates might exploit loopholes in the rules; others thought that these Japanese pirates were really cunning and good at taking advantage of loopholes.

Duanmu Qing continued, "These pirates will certainly not miss such an opportunity. They may have been plotting for a long time, waiting for the right time to strike. Moreover, they will definitely find some reasons to try to put the blame on us. For example, we refused them to participate because we were afraid that they would show their true strength, or we were worried about being defeated and losing face."

An expression of disbelief appeared on everyone's face. These Japanese pirates were so despicable and shameless that they not only attempted to win through unfair means, but also wanted to use this to discredit the Qing people.

"However, I believe that our martial arts masters will never surrender easily. Once these Japanese pirates really step onto the stage, we will let them see the power of our Qing Dynasty martial arts." Duanmu Qing said in a firm tone, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone agreed and looked forward to the upcoming contest. Although they were angry about the behavior of the Japanese pirates, they hoped to see the martial artists defend their dignity with strength and let these Japanese pirates know what it means to overestimate their own abilities.

"But, if these Japanese pirates really wanted to participate in the martial arts conference, why didn't they sign up at the beginning? Instead, they chose to show up at the last minute." Erkang asked in confusion.

Duanmu Qing frowned, thought for a moment and then answered: "These pirates are very careful. Perhaps they have been observing the situation and looking for the best opportunity. Until now, they feel that the time has come, so they decided to step forward. After all, tomorrow, Xiaoyanzi and Ertai will have fought for almost two days, and there will be challenges from some masters. They will definitely take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

Everyone nodded to show that they understood. The more they understood, the more they hated and resented those shameless Japanese pirates.

"No matter what, we must be fully prepared. Once these Japanese pirates come to power, we must go all out and not give them any chances to take advantage. At the same time, we must also be wary of the trouble they may cause." Duanmu Qing reminded.

Everyone agreed and was determined to defend the reputation of Chinese martial arts. No matter what tricks the Japanese pirates used, they would not back down and cut off the evil wind with the sword of justice.

"Another point worth noting is, if these Japanese pirates really come to power, how should we respond to their provocation? Should we teach them a proper lesson, or remain calm and overcome hardness with softness?" someone raised the question.

Duanmu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the specific situation. If these pirates are just showing off their martial arts, then we can just defeat them, and then we will secretly send people to send them to jail.

But if they deliberately provoke or even hurt others, we must not sit idly by and do nothing. We must fight back decisively and arrest them in public."

Everyone agreed, believing that this way of handling the situation could both reflect the magnanimity of the Chinese martial arts community and safeguard their own dignity. When facing foreign enemies, they always adhered to the bottom line of justice and never showed mercy.

As the discussion deepened, everyone understood more and more the complexity behind this martial arts conference. Whether it was the intervention of the Japanese pirates or the loopholes in the rules, the originally simple competition became complicated and confusing.

"So, if they do come on the field later, we must stay calm and not act rashly. We must wait until they finish the game before making plans. In this way, even if they are thick-skinned, they will not be embarrassed to cause trouble to us, let alone put us in an embarrassing situation.

If we arrest them right away, wouldn't that be like admitting that we are afraid of them? But if we let them stay and compete, given their sinister and cunning personalities, they will definitely resort to trickery to cause trouble.

So, we came here specifically to remind Xiaoyanzi and the others that they must be vigilant in the competition tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and must not take it lightly like they did today.

Especially be careful of those masters, they are very likely to deliberately let Xiaoyanzi and the others relax their guard, and then take the opportunity to find an opportunity to defeat them. If it is just a simple failure, it is not too bad, but if they have murderous intentions and want to attack secretly, the consequences will be unimaginable! "

After hearing these words, everyone's faces instantly became extremely solemn.

There were cheers coming from outside the window. Anya Xin leaned over to the window sill and took a look. Seeing that the four arenas had all been decided, the nervousness on her face faded a little. The corners of her lips curved up and she smiled and said, "Xiaoyanzi, Ertai, Liu Qing and Liu Hong all won."

After hearing this, the others also smiled, but they also felt that since they were good at martial arts, it was reasonable for them to win.

Right now, they had to be prepared to deal with the enemies they might encounter tomorrow, so everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

So Xiaoyanzi and the other three went upstairs happily, and saw a group of people gathered together, whispering about something.

"What are you discussing? Are you discussing when to hold a celebration party for us?"
