Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There were still three days until the martial arts tournament, but Qingmang Town was already bustling with excitement.
Martial artists and martial arts enthusiasts from all over the country and even the world were flocking to witness this quadrennial event.
This year’s tournament was particularly exciting, with the promise of hidden masters returning from seclusion to seek vengeance for their disciples, attracting much curiosity.
At this moment in Qingmang Town, an inconspicuous old man walking on the street might be a famed martial arts master.
All the local inns and hotels were completely booked, and the proprietors were all smiles, wishing every day could be the day of the martial arts tournament. At this time, in front of the Yue Lai Hotel, a Range Rover slowly came to a halt, and a man and woman stepped out.
Both young people were dressed in fine clothes and carried themselves with an air of arrogance. The man looked up at the hotel and sneered dismissively.
“Forget it, after searching half the day this is the only hotel that’s somewhat decent. Let’s just settle for it!”
The girl was quite pretty, but she had a cold and proud demeanor. Upon hearing the comment, she frowned slightly and then nodded.
“Alright, brother, we can’t expect too much from a dump like this anyway.”
The pair hailed from the provincial capital, and the man and woman were brother and sister; the brother was named Shi Hao, and the sister, Shi Zhuli.
They had come to Qingmang Town for the martial arts tournament, naturally.
Shi Hao had been studying Neijia fist with a famous teacher since childhood and his martial arts cultivation was extremely profound.
Shi Zhuli wasn’t bad either; her Wing Chun cultivation made her outstanding among women, just one step away from entering the Realm of True Beings.
The group entered the lobby and happened to meet Xue Lan, who approached them as she saw new guests arriving.
“What’s your best suite? We want two,” said Shi Zhuli coldly.
Xue Lan shook her head with an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry, but we only have standard suites left, and there’s only one available.”
Shi Hao took one look at Xue Lan and was impressed.
He hadn’t expected to encounter such a refined and ethereal woman in this remote place.
Shi Zhuli was somewhat dissatisfied and haughtily said, “Money is not the issue. We must have the best suites! Go prepare them now!”
Xue Lan was about to say something when Song Yi stepped forward, “The two of you, the hotel is completely booked and it’s not about the money. You see…”
Shi Zhuli scoffed coldly, “I don’t care what you do, go prepare it for me now, or else… I’ll smash your establishment!”
The Shi Family was well-known in the provincial capital, and Shi Zhuli had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, making her extremely arrogant and oppressive.
Song Yi’s smile grew cold, “Folks, I’m afraid that’s… not right.”
Shi Hao then scoffed, “Didn’t you hear what my sister said? If it’s full, make others leave; we’ve decided to stay.”
Seeing that there was a situation, the security of the Yue Lai Hotel gathered around.
Shi Hao was arrogant, not caring at all.
He had come to Qingmang Town full of ambition, ready to break into the ranks of the chosen elites.
And he was confident in his ability to do so.
In the provincial capital, he had fought in many underground fights, undefeated, and held the title of “Little Boxing King of Jingnan.”
So, he had nothing but disdain for the security.
As the atmosphere grew tense, another convoy arrived outside, a line of black Audis, which stopped at the hotel entrance. A group of people got out of the cars.
Once they entered the lobby, Xue Lan’s eyes lit up, and she quickly greeted them, “Xiao An, brother.”
The arrivals were Xue An, Tan Xiaoyu, and Hua Tingting.
Qin Yu had also wanted to come, but something came up at the last minute, so she had to cancel.
Upon seeing Xue Lan, Xue An smiled slightly, while the two girls exclaimed in unison, “Aunt Lan!”
Song Yi also walked over, bending deeply in a very respectful manner, “Mr. Xue, it’s an honor to meet you!”
This effectively left Shi Hao and his party hanging to the side, Shi Hao staring at Xue An, his expression growing dark.
Who is this person?
Why such a grand entrance?
And the women by his side, each one prettier than the last!
Shi Hao’s eyes were nearly dazzled, his dissatisfaction mounting within him.
Looking at his slender figure, I could knock him flying with one punch, probably not even a martial artist.
Why do all these beauties surround this young man?
However, Tan Xiaoyu noticed Shi Zhuli and couldn’t help but express her surprise, “You are… Zhuli?”
Shi Zhuli was momentarily startled, then recognized Tan Xiaoyu as well.
Tan Xiaoyu had once spent some time at a martial arts school in the province and had shared a dormitory with Shi Zhuli, so she naturally knew her.
Although their relationship was not particularly good, meeting here was somewhat unexpected.
Shi Zhuli nodded her head with pride, “So it’s Xiaoyu, what brings you here…”
“Oh, this is my father, and there’s Tingting, my younger sister. We’re naturally here to enjoy the spectacle!” Tan Xiaoyu deliberately did not introduce Xue An.
She felt that with many people investigating who killed Yu Qing, it was better to keep Xue An’s identity known to as few people as possible.
“So it’s Master Tan from the Northern Town Martial Arts School!” Shi Hao was aware of the reputation of the Northern Town Martial Arts School, but he merely gave a perfunctory nod of acknowledgement.
“Have the rooms been arranged?” Xue An asked Song Yi at that moment.
Song Yi nodded, “Mr. Xue, once I knew of your arrival, I arranged everything. I’ve specially reserved a presidential suite for you to accommodate you and the two ladies.”
Xue An nodded, pleased with Song Yi’s thoroughness.
Just as they were about to go upstairs, Shi Zhuli spoke up with annoyance, “Didn’t you say there were no presidential suites available? Why does he get to stay in one?”
This question made Song Yi’s expression turn ugly.
Back in the day, he was a person of influence in Zhongdu, where many powerful figures paid him great respect. Now, he was being rebuked by a young girl, which made it hard for him to save face.
“Because he’s the owner here, is there a problem?” Song Yi said coldly.
Shi Zhuli wanted to say more, but Tan Xiaoyu, not wanting to escalate the situation, interjected, “Let’s not make a fuss; we can arrange another suite for you!”
Shi Hao then gave Xue An, who was heading upstairs, a cold look.
From beginning to end, Xue An never spared them a glance.
To him, these two didn’t even merit his attention.
But to Shi Hao, this seemed more like Xue An was afraid.
Probably just some country bumpkin with a bit of money, nothing more.
Especially, the women by his side all looked quite fetching, like that Hua Tingting, brimming with intellectual beauty, very much to Shi Hao’s liking.
Thinking it over, Shi Hao made up his mind.
Once back in his room, Shi Hao asked his sister, “What’s your relationship with this Tan Xiaoyu?”
Shi Zhuli shook her head, “Just average!”
“Then let’s invite her to have dinner tonight,” he said.
Shi Zhuli looked puzzled, “Brother, you’re not interested in this Tan Xiaoyu, are you?”
Shi Hao’s lips curled into a smug smile, “Just for fun. Her father is merely the head of the Northern Town Martial Arts School.. He’s no match for me, not even close! “
