Seeing this, Dongfang Qingmo hurriedly ordered the servants to take good care of Dongfang Ti, then turned around and returned to his room.

At this moment, Dongfang Ti needs some time to rest and adjust his condition.

Only in this way can they face the next conversation in a better state.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Qingmo was waiting at his door.

But Dongfang Ti was scared.

"Mo'er? What are you doing?"

"Second Uncle, I have something I want to talk to you about..." Dongfang Qingmo's hands were nervously entwined together, and she felt very uneasy.

Chatting with elders is stressful.

Her palms are sweating!

Seeing her serious expression, Dongfang Ti also became serious and said softly, "Let's go to the study."

The two walked into the study one after another.

Dongfang Qingmo respectfully poured him a cup of tea, then stood aside in silence.

Dongfang Ti looked at the well-behaved niece in front of him, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"..."

Let him drink tea to wake up early in the morning? !

How serious is this matter...

Could it be that she has taken a fancy to some young man?

With his elder brother and sister-in-law around, it’s not his turn to make the decision.

Dongfang Ti was secretly guessing in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.

After a while, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Mo'er, what happened? Tell Uncle quickly."

Dongfang Qingmo took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at him firmly, and said slowly: "Second Uncle, I want to go out and gain some experience and see the outside world."

This shouldn't reveal the truth, right?!

She didn't want her second uncle to know that she was working as someone else's subordinate...

No one can agree with this, right?!

Hearing this, Dongfang Ti was stunned and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He widened his eyes and looked at Dongfang Qingmo in disbelief, wondering why this child suddenly made such a request.

Dongfang Ti frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Mo'er, do you know how dangerous it is out there? How can you, a girl, go out so easily?"

I knew my second uncle wouldn't agree...

Dongfang Qingmo bit his lip lightly and replied with a firm look in his eyes, "Second Uncle, I've grown up. I want to experience some things on my own and gain more experience. Also, I will be careful and will bring Yunmei and the others to protect me. Please believe me."

Dongfang Ti looked at her stubborn look and sighed helplessly.

He knew that once Dongfang Qingmo made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

But as an elder, he still has to fulfill his responsibility and remind her of the difficulties and risks she may encounter.

"Mo'er, I understand what you're thinking, but you have to know that the outside world is full of unknowns and dangers. You have no experience and it's easy to get into trouble. If you really want to go out and gain experience, it's best to be fully prepared first. For example, learn some self-defense skills, understand the customs and habits of different places, and so on." Dongfang Ti said earnestly.

Dongfang Qingmo nodded to show his understanding.

She knew that her second uncle was the most supportive of her.

She looked at Dongfang Ti gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I will be prepared. Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Dongfang Ti looked at her deeply, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He gently patted Dongfang Qingmo's shoulder and encouraged her, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, go ahead. Remember to write home more often to let us know about your situation. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to ask for help from your family in a timely manner."

Dongfang Qingmo smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Second Uncle, I'll remember it. I will definitely work hard and not let you down."

"Mo'er? When are you planning to leave?"

"After the competition is over!"

Dongfang Qingmo didn't expect it to be so smooth.

What a blessing from God.

If I tell my parents, it will probably take ten days or half a month!

It has to be my second uncle.

"Okay, let's go have breakfast."

"Ok!"

After saying that, Dongfang Qingmo turned and left the study, leaving Dongfang Ti sitting there, pondering how to tell the Dongfang couple about this.

This cup of tea made him feel very uncomfortable.

It’s okay for my sister-in-law. If my brother knew about this, he would definitely chop him to pieces with a knife.

The good girl was handed over to him, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye...

He couldn't even imagine it.

He immediately regretted it...

Forget it, Mo'er, your uncle will take care of everything!

-

A few days later, the martial arts competition was held as scheduled.

Dongfang Ti stood on the stage and spoke with high spirits.

"Dear guests, we have gathered here today to witness the final round of this fantastic martial arts competition. On behalf of the three great sects, I welcome you all!"

Dongfang Ti's voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the square.

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, and people were excitedly looking forward to the start of the game.

Dongfang Ti continued, "I hope all the contestants can demonstrate their true strengths and superb skills! Now, I declare the martial arts competition officially open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became boiling.

The rules changed in the final round.

It is no longer like before where you just need to defeat one person, but now you have to fight in pairs. If a third person wants to join the battle, he must first defeat the first two people.

The biggest one left on the ring was the one in the middle.

The game will continue until no one among the twenty-three people issues another challenge.

The current battle situation is that ten people from Lianlan Gate have successfully advanced, six people from Yanhuo Gate have advanced, and seven people from Zisen Gate have successfully qualified.

Dongfang Qingmo was still in the same place, watching the game with an unshaven beard.

Qian Shuishui stood under the ring and waved excitedly at Dongfang Qingmo.

Dongfang Qingmo smiled and waved back at her.

The atmosphere today was clearly different from previous days. It seemed as if everyone's desire to win had been aroused, and the entire scene became tense and intense.

Dongfang Qingmo found Huangfu Yi in the crowd at a glance.

He was simply too dazzling to be ignored.

Today, Huangfu Yi is wearing a spotless white robe, looking as graceful and elegant as an immortal who has descended to earth.

His presence eclipsed everything around him.

Dongfang Qingmo's mouth corners curled up slightly.

Now that this opportunity is in front of her, she must win him over within a year!

When she looked at Huangfu Yi again, she found that Peng Qinqin was looking at him with a passionate gaze.

This look made Dongfang Qingmo frown.

If she could send emojis, she would definitely give Peng Qinqin a hundred vomiting emojis.

Don’t use too much, your hands will get sore.

Dongfang Ti stood on the stage, scanning the crowd below, and shouted in a loud voice, "Who's going up first?"

The Lianlan Sect has a large number of people, and they sent the first representative to the stage.

This man is tall and has an extraordinary aura. It is obvious that he has certain strength.

At the same time, the Zisen Sect was not to be outdone and sent an equally powerful disciple to the stage.

"Lianlan Gate, Lu Xiucheng!" Lu Xiucheng confidently reported his name.

"Zisenmen, Meng Jiang." Meng Jiang's voice was steady and powerful, with a faint smile on his face, showing a calm demeanor.

With the sound of the gong, the competition officially began.

Lu Xiucheng and Meng Jiang clasped their fists and saluted each other to show their respect for their opponents.

Then, they quickly entered combat mode and engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Both sides used all their strength and displayed their unique martial arts.

Their moves were as fierce as a storm, dazzling the eyes.

The audience watched every move on the stage intently, exclaiming and cheering from time to time.

Dongfang Qingmo ate his cakes while praising, "These two are pretty good!"

Chunhua echoed, "Yes, sir, that Lu Xiucheng showed amazing talent in the first two rounds, defeating his opponent within ten moves."

Qiu Shi continued, "Meng Jiang is not bad either, he is also a leader."

Dongfang Qingmo asked curiously, "Who do you think will win?"

Chunhua and Qiushi exchanged a glance, and Chunhua said, "I'm not sure. Both of them are very capable."

At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "I challenge!" Gao Yuanshan from the Fireworks Gate felt that he could beat the two people on the stage, so he raised his right hand and jumped onto the ring.

"Wow! Going up already?" Dongfang Qingmo opened his mouth in surprise.

At least you should wait until the first two people finish fighting before going up, right?

Chunhua explained: "This is the rule. You can join the challenge at any time."

However, next, Gao Yuanshan will become the common target of the other two.

"By the way, isn't there a gambling game over there?" Dongfang Qingmo raised his eyebrows and looked at the lively scene in the distance, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Sir, please give your instructions." Chunhua beside him replied respectfully.

"Chunhua, go and find out how the gambling is done today!" Dongfang Qingmo said with interest, seeming to be very interested in this gambling game.

"Yes." Chunhua responded and quickly left to inquire about the situation.

Dongfang Qingmo took out all the small treasury she had on her, placed them on the table, and continued to watch the competition attentively.

At this time, the competition on the field was going on fiercely.

Gao Yuanshan was seen holding two axes in his hands, dealing with his opponent's attacks with ease and comfort.

Lu Xiucheng and Meng Jiang exchanged glances, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

They decided to make Gao Yuanshan lose his weapon first so that they could better control the situation.

So, Lu Xiucheng and Meng Jiang launched an offensive together, forcing Gao Yuanshan to retreat again and again.

Gao Yuanshan was exhausted from dealing with the situation and a flaw was revealed. Lu Xiucheng seized the opportunity and kicked Gao Yuanshan on the wrist, causing the two axes to fall to the ground.

Gao Yuanshan's situation took a turn for the worse after he lost his weapon, but he did not give up and continued to fight stubbornly.

However, they were ultimately outnumbered and were quickly driven down.

Only Lu Xiucheng and Meng Jiang were left on the ring, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

In the end, Lu Xiucheng defeated Meng Jiang with a slight advantage and became the winner of the game.

Master Xiao announced that Lu Xiucheng had won, which meant that he would definitely be on the list of this competition.

Although Meng Jiang was defeated, he was placed in the waiting area due to his outstanding performance and still has the opportunity to continue participating in the competition.

As for Gao Yuanshan, he was the one who initiated the challenge, so he was eliminated directly after being defeated.

The audience below cheered warmly to celebrate Lu Xiucheng's victory.

However, Peng Qinqin was extremely angry at this moment. She shouted at Gao Yuanshan, "Why did you go so early? Don't you know we should wait until they are exhausted before we go into battle? That way we have a better chance of winning!"

Facing Peng Qinqin's accusations, Gao Yuanshan looked at her silently without refutation.

Doesn't Peng Qinqin understand? If you don't play, others will, and then it will be even harder for us to win the game.

Yang Wei, standing by, quickly spoke to comfort her, "Junior Sister, don't be impatient. We still have many opportunities. We should have faith in the strength of our fellow disciples. They will definitely give their all for victory."

Now is not the time for civil unrest.

"Brother, I'm really worried! My father has too high expectations of me, and the pressure he puts on me is too great!" Peng Qinqin once again showed a pitiful look, her tone full of grievance and helplessness.

In fact, she also realized that her attitude just now was a little inappropriate. These words were not only said to Yang Wei, but also to other fellow disciples.

After all, she needs to maintain her image in front of everyone.

Sure enough, many fellow students came to comfort her and expressed their willingness to help her solve her problems.

"Qinqin, don't worry, we can definitely complete the sect leader's task!" said a fellow disciple confidently.

"Yes, little junior sister, you don't have to worry. We senior brothers will naturally have ways to deal with it!" Another fellow disciple also echoed.

"..." Everyone talked at once, trying to reassure Peng Qinqin.

-

Chunhua returned after inquiring about the news and reported the gambling situation to Dongfang Qingmo: "Sir, the current gambling situation is as follows. Most people are guessing the ranking of this competition."

"Oh? Who did everyone buy?" Dongfang Qingmo asked curiously.

Chunhua continued, "Right now, it seems that Huangfu Yi and Chi Ye are the two players who are bet on the most."

Dongfang Qingmo smiled confidently after hearing this: "Chunhua, you can bet five thousand taels on Shuishui for second place, and the rest on Huangfu Yi for first place."

Chunhua nodded: "I understand, don't worry, sir."

Dongfang Qingmo smiled slightly: "Okay, go ahead."

Chunhua turned around and left, placing bets according to Dongfang Qingmo's instructions.

Dongfang Qingmo looked at Chunhua's departing back with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Then, she turned to look at Qiushi, pointed at the untouched pig's trotters on the table and said, "Qiushi, take this plate of braised pig's trotters to Shuishui, she loves it. Also, remember to tell her that there's a whole lamb feast waiting for her tonight, so she doesn't need to be nervous."

Qiushi nodded obediently, picked up the plate and left the room.

At this time, the second round of the competition was about to begin and the atmosphere was still warm.

Qian Shuishui's eyes lit up when she got the pig's trotters, as if she saw countless delicacies waving to her.

When she heard that there was a whole lamb banquet, she became very excited and wanted to rush onto the stage immediately.

She said to the people around her: "I'm going to participate in the competition!"
