The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Early the next morning, everyone gathered around the arena. Tong Xiuyuan and a young man sat together in the referee's seat. This man should be Nangong Huaiyuan, the third prince of Nanling Kingdom, whom Tong Xiuyuan had mentioned earlier.

Nangong Huaiyuan looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had phoenix eyes, a hooked nose, thin lips, and a playful smile. Although he was quite good-looking, he always gave people a sinister feeling.

Although Li Muxia wasn't one to judge people by their appearance, she sensed danger in Nangong Huaiyuan the moment she saw him. Her intuition was always accurate, and she silently told herself, "Stay away from him."

The man on the stage seemed to sense Li Muxia's gaze and turned his head slightly to look at her. Li Muxia did not expect the man to look at her suddenly. When their eyes met, although she was a little scared, she still boldly responded with a smile.

If she avoids eye contact at a time like this, it will make people think she's done something wrong and is feeling guilty. It's better for her to be open and honest.

Sensing Li Muxia's fearless response, Nangong Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Interesting."

He had already begun to secretly take notice of Li Muxia.

Disguised in the crowd, Nangong Yufeng naturally noticed Nangong Huaiyuan's keen interest in Li Muxia and her companions, and his brows furrowed slightly. He secretly worried for Li Muxia and the others.

His third brother is always good at hiding his true nature, always appearing humble and polite in front of outsiders, but in reality, he's a ruthless and cunning villain. It seems I'll have to find time to remind Doctor Xia and the others that he's got his eye on them.

At this moment, a young man came up on the stage. It was Feng Siyan, the disciple of Yuding Mountain from many days ago.

After a few pleasantries and some information about the competition, it was announced that the martial arts competition would take place this morning, the literary competition this afternoon, and the overtime competition would take place tomorrow morning. After the competition, the loser could choose to leave or continue watching. The same procedure would be followed for the next two days until the final winner was determined.

After saying this, someone brought up a box, and all the registered people were asked to draw a number from the box. Those who drew the same number would be opponents.

After the draw, everyone looked at the numbers in their hands.

A gong sounded on stage, followed by Feng Siyan saying, "The competition begins. Please invite contestant number one to the stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them flew onto the arena. Li Muxia did not recognize that one of them was Chu Ge in disguise.

The two exchanged greetings, introduced themselves, and then began to fight. With just one move, Chu Ge knocked the man off the stage. The onlookers were astonished by his skill level and silently prayed that they wouldn't encounter him in the later matches.

Li Muxia and the others were also taken aback. If they had encountered an opponent of this level, they wouldn't have had time to administer the drug.

While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, the competition on stage was in full swing, and soon it was Li Muxia's turn.

A burly man was the first to leap onto the stage. He glanced at the crowd below and said in a rough voice, "Kids who want to fight me, hurry up and get up here. Stop dawdling like sissies."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia frowned slightly, and then slowly walked up the steps to the arena.

This was the first person to walk up the steps to the ring so far in the competition. Even the host, Feng Siyan, leaped onto the ring. The audience fell silent as everyone watched Li Muxia walk step by step onto the ring.

Just as Li Muxia was fully standing on the stage, someone below the stage said to the burly man above, "Brother Qi, what good luck! You've run into someone who doesn't know martial arts."

Various murmurs arose from the audience. Li Muxia paid no attention to the audience, because at that moment, the burly man was relentlessly saying to her, "Boy, you don't know martial arts but you dare to come to the snow mountain to steal treasures? Do you want to live too long?"

The audience burst into laughter upon hearing the man's words.

Li Muxia was not annoyed. She still bowed politely and said, "My name is Xia Mu. Please give me your guidance."

The man looked at Li Muxia with her arms crossed and said sarcastically, "Please give me some pointers. I probably won't need to. One move and I'll send you rolling off the stage. You still dare to say you want to give me pointers?"

He then burst into laughter.

When the audience heard Li Muxia's self-introduction and the man's words, some laughed, while others whispered, "Xia Mu, that name sounds familiar."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, "You are the Immortal Healer Xia Mu."

Everyone looked in the direction of the man who spoke, and Li Muxia also frowned and looked over: someone actually recognized her. She should have changed her name. She thought the name of the Immortal Physician had not yet spread to the Southern Ling Kingdom.

Little did he know that these treasure hunters came from all over the Three Kingdoms.

One person said, "No, the Immortal Physician has been to our area. I've seen him. The Immortal Physician, Xia Mu, is clearly a fat man. This guy is not only fat, but a gust of wind could probably blow him away."

Another person continued, "This person is the Immortal Physician. I've seen him before, but I didn't recognize him at first. However, when I heard his name, I realized that he looks about 80% like the Immortal Physician I've met."

Another person said, "You said yourself that they only look 80% alike. There are so many people in the world who look alike, he definitely isn't one of them."

The man on the stage also heard the murmurs in the crowd and said relentlessly, "Medical Immortal, humph, I don't care if you are a Medical Immortal or not. Even if a Medical Saint came today, I would not show any mercy."

Li Muxia never held back against arrogant men like this. Looking at the man, she said, "You talk too much nonsense. Are you going to compete or not? A grown man acting like a woman."

Li Muxia deliberately used his words to provoke him. The crowd below the stage gasped when they heard Li Muxia's words. Had Xia Mu gone mad? He had no internal strength at all and yet dared to provoke them. Was he just looking for death?

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Muxia's provocation, the man angrily said, "You little brat, today I'm going to teach you a lesson and beat you until you beg for mercy on your knees. Let's see if you dare to be so quick-witted again."

Li Muxia smiled dismissively and said, "What skills do you have besides using internal energy that I don't have to deal with me? Without internal energy, you can't even step on an ant."

The man had been provoked by Li Muxia to the point of losing his temper, and said angrily, "Fine, I won't use my internal energy today. I'll show you whether I can crush you, you stinking ant."

After saying that, he clenched his fist and charged forward first.

Nangong Huaiyuan looked at Li Muxia with great interest, thinking to himself: He's an interesting person, but unfortunately too arrogant.

Li Muxia remained standing motionless, and the crowd below the stage began to laugh and say, "Is this kid scared out of his wits?"

Only Bai Qingshi and a few others anxiously shouted, "Xia Mu (Xiao Xiaxia) (Junior Brother), get out of the way quickly!"

The man saw that his fist was about to strike the arrogant man's face, and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Today I'll smash your face to pieces and see if you can still smile."
