The two had a major disagreement in front of Qian Yue’s bet.

"Wang Jiu! You agreed to this kind of bet?! I, I really misjudged you, I didn’t expect you to like this type?!" Shen Qingming was somewhat frantic, especially watching Qian Yue smugly swaying side to side, with a certain pair of assets bouncing along... it made her even more upset.

Qian Yue chuckled and said, "Little Sister Qingming, why are you so jealous?"

"Who’s jealous?!" Shen Qingming, of course, could not admit she was jealous, but knowing arguing with these two was like talking to a wall, she simply stood up and walked away, "I don’t want to talk to either of you!"

Qian Yue languidly said, "Hey, just leaving us to our own little world? Thanks!"

Shen Qingming turned around and sat back down, "I’m tired, don’t want to walk anymore."

"Hahaha, Little Sister Qingming is so cute." Qian Yue covered her mouth and laughed, then gestured to Wang Jiu, "Then it’s settled. Hmm, Mr. Wang Jiu, I’ve never lost a bet with anyone! This time, to keep my winning streak, I’ll give it my all!"

Shen Qingming heard something not good, "What are you planning?"

"Nothing much, just fulfilling some basic duties of an advisory role... though I usually look down on that silly brother who’s always joking around and can’t even count, he’s still my brother after all."

After speaking, Qian Yue took out a Communication Spirit Stone, infused it with True Essence to activate it, and said, "Brother Ye, it’s me. Be careful with Sister Wanqing’s sword when the match starts later."

"Huh? Sword in hand? What do you mean? She doesn’t use a sword, right?"

"It’s literal, listen to me if you want to win." Qian Yue said confidently, "Sister Wanqing has newly mastered a swordsmanship, and it’s incredibly powerful. Later, remember to switch to Broken Sword mode."

"I see... but wait, ever since Li Wanqing went to Yuqing Mountain, she gave up on swordsmanship, and she hasn’t used a sword in this competition."

"That’s why it’s her trump card, be cautious." Qian Yue became more impatient. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Since it’s a trump card, how did you know? Did you use some improper means to spy on the opponent’s secrets again? Seriously, if we’re going to win, it should be a fair and square victory, I’d rather not have such a disgraceful win!"

"How many times have I told you, if you’re dumb, use your brain less, because you make me laugh every time you use it! Sister Wanqing, being one of the Li Family Mansion’s strongest cultivators in swordsmanship talent, how can she just give up on swordsmanship? She couldn’t find a master with high enough Sword Dao attainments on Yuqing Mountain, so naturally, she wouldn’t want to waste her efforts on Sword Cultivation. She focused solely on cultivating Yuqing Daoist Skill. Now that she’s back at the Li Family Mansion, with Mr. Wang Jiu, a great swordsmanship master, by her side, practicing a swordsmanship that suits her current level of expertise is only logical, right? You think I’d need to use improper means to find out about this? It’s ridiculous."

"Really? Although you speak convincingly, I still feel..."

"Don’t want to listen, bye."

After finishing, Qian Yue directly disconnected the Communication Spirit Stone and then let out a long, tired sigh.

"Seriously, talking to fools is even more exhausting than scheming with smart people. Mr. Wang Jiu, you must be really worn out dealing with them all the time."

Shen Qingming was stunned for a moment, then furiously said, "Who’re you calling dumb?!"

"Of course, it’s Qian Ye, who else could it be?" Qian Yue said aggrievedly, "The latter part wasn’t specifically about you. For someone with Mr. Wang Jiu’s brilliant intellect, most people around are dummies. You don’t have to be so thin-skinned, you know?"

"..." Shen Qingming was at a loss for words, utterly furious.

"Don’t be angry, as an apology, I’ll give you a piece of information. Just yesterday, Brother Ye’s Golden Bloodline awakened a new Divine Technique. It can currently switch freely between three forms: Broken Sword, Breaking Strike, and Broken Skill, each providing targeted defenses against cutting strikes, blunt attacks, and Immortal Techniques. In terms of defensive strength, it can be considered absolute defense in this Cyan Cloud competition. Unless you bring out one of those Steel Giants, it’s impossible for anyone to penetrate Brother Ye’s defensive stance head-on. However, the downside is a slight delay during form transitions, and if you seize that moment with a fierce attack, there’s a good chance of victory."

Shen Qingming hesitated, unwilling to believe that the other party was genuinely revealing her secrets. However, she couldn’t tell if what Qian Yue said was true or false...

"Ah Jiu, do you think she..."

Wang Jiu said, "She’s right. From observing Qian Ye’s battle yesterday, it’s clear the Golden Bloodline is on the verge of its next level of awakening. And given Qian Ye’s current power, handling the Golden Bloodline is a bit taxing, so it’s reasonable to judge that switching between the three forms isn’t fluid yet."

Qian Yue spread her hands: "See, I would never lie about such matters, especially with Mr. Wang Jiu; I only speak the truth."

"Hmph, only a fool would believe you." Shen Qingming was still a bit uneasy, instinctively feeling there was some kind of trick in Qian Yue’s words, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

The next moment, a familiar voice came from behind Shen Qingming.

"It’s quite simple, she’s purposely letting me in on this secret. Knowing my personality, after hearing it, I wouldn’t exploit Qian Ye’s weakness in this matter, even if I have to pretend to be a big shot. This little girl really is considerate towards her family."

As she spoke, Li Wanqing strode in leisurely, then pinched Qian Yue’s cheek, pulling it until she cried out in pain, begging for mercy.

"Sister Wanqing, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I really am wrong, I shouldn’t have used tricks on you, I’ll never dare again, please stop pinching..."

Li Wanqing coldly snorted: "Pleading with your mouth, but your eyes are full of probing. You little girl, always so scheming. It’s no wonder you’re so resourceful at such a young age."

As she was speaking, Li Wanqing’s left hand pressed directly onto Qian Yue’s chest, her fingers sinking deeply, causing Qian Yue’s entire face to turn red, her eyes shimmering with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Wah, Sister Wanqing, have mercy on me, I’m still just a child..."

Li Wanqing’s left hand was relentless, her fingers skillfully roaming over the ample hills, then leaned close to Qian Yue’s ear, exhaled lightly, and said, "I’m the best at turning girls into women, how about it, want to try?"

"No, no, really no!"

"Eh, but I’ve heard that when women say no, they usually mean yes in their hearts. Who knows if that’s what you’re thinking too?" Li Wanqing continued to press on, her left hand slipping inside Qian Yue’s collar like a snake, the momentary contact with skin almost making Qian Yue scream.

In such a situation, even Shen Qingming, standing nearby, blushed, looking anxiously around. Fortunately, they were in a secluded corner with few passersby, so there was no audience. Still, she feared this inappropriate scene might attract the patrolling law enforcement team in the arena, directly driving them all out...

Luckily, Qian Yue reacted quickly, before her vital area was completely compromised, she reached out and handed a delicate and exquisite brocade bag to Li Wanqing.

"Sister Wanqing, this is my offering of atonement, please spare me!"

"That’s more like it, mere lip service won’t earn anyone’s trust." Li Wanqing smiled, withdrew her left hand to take the brocade bag, then patted Qian Yue’s head, "Little girl, don’t keep having crooked ideas, don’t waste your cultivation talent."

Qian Yue, with a bitter face, didn’t even dare nod in agreement, quickly fleeing in embarrassment.

Li Wanqing shrugged, opened the brocade bag, and saw a few slips of paper and a piece of metal inside—it was the Primordial Fragment used earlier in the bet with Wang Jiu. She casually put away the slips of paper, tossed the metal piece to Wang Jiu, waved to Shen Qingming, and then left.

Shen Qingming was left utterly dumbfounded. In her impression, when had Qian Yue ever been bullied so badly? She had always been an unruly, local tyrant.

Wang Jiu, standing by, explained, "This is the normal reaction when civilization encounters barbarism. Many smart people vaunt their superior intelligence and tend to look down on others, but when faced with naked violence, all cleverness is just fleeting."

Shen Qingming couldn’t help but laugh: "Eh? Speaking so empathetically, could it be that you, a self-proclaimed genius with an intelligence index of 9, have been crushed by some blatant violence?"

Before finishing her words, Shen Qingming began to regret it.

This Celestial Divine Sword before her is unmatched in terms of martial prowess, and the only one who could possibly crush him with violence would have to be that Great Demon God Emperor.

And that topic is truly not suitable for joking with him.

However, Wang Jiu just shrugged: "In the encounters between civilization and barbarism I’ve experienced, I usually play the barbarian role; Shang Lanfei has complained about it more than once."

"..."

"If we must talk about being crushed, it probably happened after meeting you, when my meticulous efforts were often..."

"Enough, enough, I get it, no need to continue!"
