A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

Below the stage, Shangguan Yi was also watching the battle, but his gaze was not on Feng Jiutian, but on the student from Maoyu Academy.

A moment later, Shangguan Yi's lips suddenly curled up, and he said loudly, "The dignified National Preceptor of Nanning actually impersonated a student to participate in the Four Kingdoms Grand Competition. Doesn't Nanning fear becoming a laughingstock for doing such a thing?"

"The Imperial Preceptor of Nanning?"

"Is it Qi Mo, the Imperial Advisor who is known as the most handsome man in Nanning?"

"That can't be right, this person looks completely ordinary..."

"..."

Shangguan Yi's words successfully stirred up a huge uproar among the crowd. Many people couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their surprised and uncertain gazes shifting back and forth between Shangguan Yi and the man on the arena.

Shangguan Yi crossed his arms: "Qi Mo, we used to drink and chat together. It's been so long since we last met. Are you planning to keep wearing this mask when you see old friends?"

After speaking, Shangguan Yi suddenly leaped up, disregarding the ongoing competition on the stage, and grabbed at Qi Mo's face.

"Whoosh!"

A figure blocked Shangguan Yi's path; it was Feng Jiutian!

Shangguan Yi looked at Feng Jiutian as if she were an idiot: "Why are you blocking my way?"

Feng Jiutian's pretty face darkened slightly: "The competition is still going on, what are you doing here?"

Shangguan Yi glared at Feng Jiutian with exasperation: "You stupid woman, I'm trying to help you!"

Feng Jiutian remained expressionless and did not respond, but the spiritual energy circulating in her hands showed no sign of relaxing, as if she would show no mercy if Shangguan Yi dared to make another move!

"You!" Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth in anger. This stupid woman, doesn't she think about who made Luojia Academy admit defeat and led Fenglin Academy to admit defeat? Doesn't she think that as long as he fights Qi Mo, he will definitely be able to greatly deplete Qi Mo's spiritual power, and then this championship will become hers?

That damned stupid woman! It seems all his good intentions have been wasted!

Qi Mo looked at Feng Jiutian's back with complicated eyes, and slowly walked out from behind Feng Jiutian. He looked at Shangguan Yi, his eyes calm and still: "Fourteenth Prince, it's been a long time."

Shangguan Yi sneered: "What? The Imperial Advisor is no longer going to hide his identity?"

Qi Mo stood with his hands behind his back: "I have never thought of hiding my identity. Although I am the Grand Preceptor of Nanning, I have never graduated from Maoyu Academy. I am here to participate in the Four Kingdoms Grand Competition. I wonder what the Fourteenth Prince finds inappropriate?"

Qi Mo's voice was soft and gentle, yet it was clear and resonant. The people from Maoyu Academy had long been disgusted by Shangguan Yi's disruption of the competition, and upon hearing this, someone immediately stood up and shouted, "Fourteenth Prince, you can represent Luojia Academy, and our Imperial Preceptor is about the same age as you, so why can't he represent Maoyu Academy?"

Shangguan Yi snorted coldly: "Since you are representing the academy in the battle, what's the point of hiding your face? People who don't know the situation might think that the Grand Preceptor is deliberately disguising himself to bully the young people."

Although Qi Mo is not old, he is over twenty years old, while Feng Jiutian is not yet fifteen. In front of Qi Mo, he can barely be considered a "young man".

Qi Mo smiled slightly, not arguing with Shangguan Yi, but looking at Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian gave Shangguan Yi a cold look: "Are you done? If you are, please leave. The competition is not over yet!"

Shangguan Yi's face immediately darkened. If anyone else had dared to speak to him like that, he would have killed them with a single palm strike long ago. But this person was none other than Feng Jiutian!

Shangguan Yi endured it all, then turned and left in a huff.

Feng Jiutian, just wait, this prince will conquer you sooner or later and make you willingly submit to him!

Shangguan Yi's reaction did not leave any ripples in Feng Jiutian's heart. In her opinion, this person was just a self-righteous lunatic.

She looked at Qi Mo: "Shall the competition continue?"

Every time Qi Mo's gaze fell on Feng Jiutian, it made her feel uncomfortable. Seeing that Qi Mo was only staring at her and not answering, Feng Jiutian's face darkened: "National Preceptor of Nanning, shall the competition continue?"

Qi Mo seemed to just realize what was happening, and said with an "Ah," before adding, "No need to be so polite, just call me Qi Mo."

Feng Jiutian: "..."

Feng Jiutian, barely suppressing his impatience, asked, "Shall we continue the match?"

Unexpectedly, after a moment's thought, Qi Mo shook his head and said, "No."

Feng Jiutian's face turned completely ugly: "What do you mean?"

Qi Mo knew that Feng Jiutian had misunderstood him, but there were some things he couldn't explain for the time being, so he simply shook his head and said, "Our Maoyu Academy concedes defeat."

After saying that, Qi Mo quickly stepped off the arena.

"Wow!"

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.

"The Grand Preceptor of Nanning actually admitted defeat?"

"What's going on? Why has everyone given up?"

"The Grand Preceptor of Nanning is renowned far and wide; there's no way he couldn't defeat Feng Jiutian, right?"

"..."

The crowd was filled with murmurs and discussions.

The Four Kingdoms Grand Tournament is a grand event held annually to select the most outstanding talents from the four major academies of the four kingdoms. However, this year's tournament was the fastest-ending and most dramatic in history.

Since Qi Mo voluntarily conceded defeat, the victor would naturally be Feng Jiutian.

The referee came to the arena and announced the results of the match. The organizing committee of the Four Nations Tournament also came up on stage. After saying some polite words, they announced that the organizing committee would give a mysterious reward to the champion of the Four Nations Tournament.

Upon hearing the words "mysterious reward," Feng Jiutian finally perked up, as this was exactly what she had originally intended to achieve.

Despite winning the championship, Feng Jiutian felt inexplicably frustrated.

She could sense that Qi Mo was definitely a formidable opponent. Although she didn't think she would lose a real fight with Qi Mo, the feeling of winning without a fight was far from pleasant for her.

Feng Jiutian didn't stay long and declined the organizing committee's suggestion to hold a banquet for her. She had never been good at or fond of socializing and went straight back to her room.

As soon as she entered, Xuanji Zi floated out from the ethereal space: "That person just now was strange!"

Feng Jiutian was taken aback: "You mean Qi Mo?"

Xuanji Zi nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I have a feeling that he seems to have discovered my presence!"

Feng Jiutian was taken aback, and after a moment he blurted out, "Could it be that his cultivation has surpassed that of a Grandmaster? How is that possible?"

Xuanji Zi rolled her eyes at Feng Jiutian: "That person is at most six or seven years older than you, how could he possibly possess that kind of cultivation!"

Feng Jiutian looked at Xuanjizi with suspicion: "Old man, didn't you say that unless you show yourself, even a Grandmaster wouldn't be able to detect your presence? If he wasn't exceptionally powerful, how could he have discovered you? Besides, you were just inside the Void Space!"
