Resisting the Wind and Splendor

As Chu Xiaohe boarded the carriage, his expression was indeed solemn.

Chu Yueli smiled and reassured him, "Brother, there's no need to worry. The moves that Lord Jinglei taught me seem very useful, don't you think?"

Chu Xiaohe looked at his right hand and said helplessly, "The move is good and it will definitely be able to restrain Wu Dan, but I saw Wu Dan the night before last. He is physically strong and incredibly powerful. I'm afraid that one move from him could knock my silver spear away."

"But Lord Jinglei's moves can ensure that my elder brother's silver spear will not collide head-on with Wudan's spear. In this way, he should not have a chance to knock my elder brother's silver spear away."

"Ah Li, you understand the moves so well?" Chu Xiaohe asked in surprise.

Chu Yueli smiled and said, "I have studied the moves of various schools and sects, and I can recite all kinds of martial arts books by heart. I can see through the moves at a glance."

Chu Xiaohe was filled with admiration.

Their Ali is a real prodigy; he can do everything!

If she knows martial arts, she must be a top-notch master.

Unfortunately, Ah Li is so frail and delicate, she looks like she could be blown over by the wind, so she's probably not cut out for martial arts.

It's all his fault. As the eldest brother, he's injured and doesn't even have the strength to protect her.

"Ah Li, don't worry. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you."

“I’ve never been worried, brother. You don’t need to risk your life for me. I can protect myself.”

But the eldest brother still looked a bit listless.

"That day I saw you, elder brother, wielding the Great Demon King's silver spear..."

"The Great Demon King?" Chu Xiaohe was somewhat taken aback.

Chu Yueli was taken aback before quickly saying, "I mean, Prince Mo, the other day when my elder brother used Prince Mo's silver spear, his moves were so fierce that it seemed unlikely that the silver spear would slip from his hand. Could it be that Prince Mo's silver spear is lighter than our Duke's silver spear? If that's the case, I'll immediately order someone to thin the silver spear to reduce its weight a bit."

"It's not a matter of weight, it's about Prince Mo's silver spear..."

Chu Xiaohe didn't know how to describe it, but he always felt that the silver spear had a magical power. Holding it in his hand was like having it integrated with his body, and he didn't have to worry about it flying out of his hand.

In Prince Mo's mansion, there were all sorts of divine weapons. That black gold and silver spear, it was hard to tell whether it was made of black gold or real silver. At first glance, it shone with silver light, but upon closer inspection, it was jet black and shiny.

It seems to have several colors under the sunlight.

Chu Xiaohe had never seen such a magical weapon before, and even now, when he talks about it, his eyes still light up.

"Alright, I'll make sure I grip the silver spear tightly and I absolutely won't let it slip out of my hand again!"

Chu Xiaohe took a deep breath, his dejected demeanor vanishing, and instead comforted his sister: "Ali, don't worry, trust your big brother, I will definitely defeat Wudan!"

Chu Yueli did not expose his feigned strength, but simply smiled and said nothing more.

The martial arts competition was held in the Taihe Square in the palace.

When Chu Yueli and her elder brother arrived, many royal grandsons and nobles had already gathered in the square, and most of the family members from various households, regardless of gender, had also come.

The crowd was surging.

Zisu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "I've been to the palace so many times, but I've never seen such a grand spectacle."

We have received envoys and dignitaries from other countries before, but none of them have been as grand as this one.

The emperor not only invited high-ranking officials and nobles, but also representatives from some well-known wealthy families in the capital.

Looking at the endless crowd, Chu Yueli felt heavy-hearted.

If the eldest brother loses this battle in front of so many people, the rumors that his body has been ruined will be confirmed.

At that time, I'm afraid my elder brother will lose face and be unable to continue leading the Chu family army.

Is this what the Emperor intended?
