The General's Genius Daughter-Chapter 36 – Accident
Ji Yang kept her disdainful face as he realized that Hua Qiyue did have some substance.
Ji Jing, however, looked at Hua Qiyue with admirable eyes. She said delightfully, "Bro, regardless of whether Hua Qiyue wins this time, and regardless of whether she will become a disciple of the Ji family, she will be my friend!"
Ji Zhong loved her daughter and thus was affected by her as he smiled lightly, replying to her, "Jing, you talk as if she is a treasure! But it is true that her movement skill is amazing, allowing her to evade 40 moves from her opponent. That's not easy!"
Others from the Ji family nodded in approval of their master.
On the other side, at the seats of the imperial family, the Emperor was enjoying the match too. The Hua Qiyue in her white clothing was like snow on stage as her clothes move with the wind. Under the bright sun, it seemed like there was a white angel moving mysteriously and elegantly on stage. Her hair flowed with the wind and her beauty captured everyone's heart.
Even though she was shocked by every move, she evaded every single attack made by Ouyang Liuer!
Yun Shimo looked at Hua Qiyue silently as more mysteries rose up in his heart.
Hua Qiyue was the legitimate daughter of Hua's Mansion. Before this, she was known for being useless and slutty, being an insult to Hua's Mansion.
However, in this instance, she provided a new side to herself. "Is this Hua Qiyue really that weak and useless Hua Qiyue?"
Only the Emperor, Yun Shimo and the master of Ji family understood the amazing movement skills of Hua Qiyue.
From the perspective of an ordinary bystander, Hua Qiyue was frustrated and nervous. She was just lucky to have evaded Ouyang Liuer's attacks, and an extremely lucky one to have evaded so many of them.
After more than 50 moves, Ouyang Liuer finally lost all patience, stopping due to fatigue. She chided coldly, "Hua Qiyue, are you competing? You, you merely evade my attacks. Since you are so scared of me, why do you still come up and compete?"
Hua Qiyue also pretended to be tired and gasped, wiping the sweat off her forehead as she blinked innocently. "I, I am waiting for my victory! Master Xuanji said that I would definitely win, but if I don't move away, you will kill me!"
Hua Qiyue's speech invited mocking from all as insults came from all directions.
Princess Huizhen in the audience had no patience as well. She chid, "This Hua Qiyue is wasting my time!"
On one side, Princess Huiling laughed. "Sis, don't that woman have an adopted son. You seem to know the dad of that adopted son?"
The marriage between Princess Huizhen and Zhou Zhicheng was not approved by the Emperor and mentioning that by Princess Huiling made Princess Huizhen gloomy.
Since the opportunity was not there yet, she could neither refute her sister nor state that she would definitely marry him in front of the Emperor. Thus, she merely smirked and stared hatefully at the cute Princess Huiling.
All the princesses beside them were smart and thus pretended that they heard nothing.
The weak appearance of Hua Qiyue on stage had stolen the hearts of many men.
Hua Qiyue was not ugly and her frightful look had provided another layer of desire for the men to protect her. However, at the corner, Xuanji was laughing so hard that he had a stomach ache. "Hua Qiyue's acting skills are indeed very good!"
"She is a tiger pretending to be a kitten, hahaha!" Xuanji also saw through Hua Qiyue's unique movement skills that no one knew.
Xuanji would not believe that Hua Qiyue created this skill herself, or that she was lucky. The skill was obviously passed down from a master!
"Hua Qiyue! It's about noon now, do you want to drag further? You should know that its a crime to waste the time of the Emperor!" Hua Qiyue's argument and "shamelessness" made Ouyang Liuer mad.
Hua Qiyue looked at the emcee with innocent eyes. The emcee looked at her condescendingly as his brows were locked tight.
"What a smart Ouyang Liuer, pulling this matter to the Emperor." However, it was true that it was late already as it was already noon and most people were famished, and some had already bought buns to eat at the side.
The Emperor had no fear for the lack of food but he did need a cool place to rest because the weather was too hot and humid.
Hua Qiyue looked at the Emperor with pretended fright before lowering her head. "Alright... I'll strike!"
Ouyang Liuer was delighted to hear that. She felt like she was about to win. Even though it was no big deal to destroy a useless woman and let others think that she was bullying the weak, but she had to follow those rules, the cruel rules. Ouyang Liuer would not lose to Hua Qiyue!
"Alright, looks like you do know the deal! I will win in three moves!" Ouyang Liuer was full of confidence. Her arrogance made Ji Feng twist his brows uneasily.
Hua Qiyue stood still there, waiting for Ouyang Liuer to charge in. Ouyang Liuer knew that she was lacking in spiritual qi and decided not to waste them on her but to merely push her down the stage.
"Lady, careful!" Lv Xin's piercing scream came.
The corner of Hua Qiyue's mouth twitched as fear was written all over her small face. Seeing her like this, Yun Shimo had to force himself from laughing. He could clearly remember the calmness and the ferocity of the woman when she brought Tianci over to beg him for treatment. That proved that the woman was not ordinary at all.
Now, she was pretending to be a timid rabbit, attracting the affection of many men. He wanted to laugh at her acting skills but did not want to reveal his connection with her, thus retaining the laughter until his lungs started to hurt.
On the stage, Ouyang Liuer charged in front of Hua Qiyue. She slammed forth with full murderous intent but Hua Qiyue sidestepped, making Ouyang Liuer miss the target.
Before she could keep her palm, Hua Qiyue kicked her waist. Ouyang Liuer shouted as she was pushed out of the ring.
Only screams from the crowd could be heard as Hua Qiyue held her breath and wiped her sweat, staring blankly at what had happened.
Ouyang Liuer had already fallen off the ring, with all four limbs facing the sky.
Her butt was hurt from the incident and she was shell shocked. Hua Qiyue's attack was too fast, striking before she could even retract her palm.
When she was falling, Ouyang Liuer was shocked as well as she did not believe that Hua Qiyue would have the capability to kick her and avoid her, making her fall down from the stage!
In shock, she forgot how to protect herself until she hit the ground!
"End of the tenth round of the tournament, Hua Qiyue wins!"
The emcee looked at Hua Qiyue on stage in shock before looking at Ouyang Liuer below sympathetically, announcing the result reluctantly.
Ouyang Liuer had been helped up by her maidservant and shouted upon hearing the result. "No, I didn't lose! Another time! Another time! She is just lucky..."
The master of the Liu family signaled for the maidservant to bring Ouyang Liuer away as his daughter appeared too arrogantly in front of the Emperor.
Hua Qiyue stood there dumbfounded until she heard the announcement, where she blinked and asked Lv Xin, who charged on stage, "Erm... Did I really win?" "Really win?"
Lv Xin cried tears of joy as she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Lady... we have won, I, I am so afraid... I thought you would, you would..."
Hua Qiyue seemed to have regained consciousness as she stared at her hands and at the audiences. The audiences were still all in shock as they could not accept Hua Qiyue kicking Ouyang Liuer down in one move.
Hua Qiyue was as joyous as a slutty woman who just found a handsome man as a groom. She walked down the stage, holding hands with Lv Xin.
Ji Feng and Ji Zhong looked at each other as they expected this result. Hua Qiyue pretended to be an idiot but they all recognized that impressive footwork.
Even though they could not tell what type of footwork that was, it was still a unique, mysterious and impressive one, one that must be taught to her by a master. However, Hua Qiyue did not want others to know that she was impressive and thus pretended to be an idiot.
Yun Shimo raised her brows slightly while Huangfu Xuan shouted painstakingly. "God... How could that slutty woman win? How?"
Countless wealthy daughters were immensely disappointed to have lost to Hua Qiyue.
The most disappointed people of them all were Hua Mengshi and Second Madame. Their faces turned pale as they stared coldly at Hua Qiyue, who was walking down the stage, clenching their fists.
However, Second Madame smiled lightly. "So glad that Qiyue had won. But there are subsequent competitions that even those who progressed need to participate."
Hua Mengshi knew that her mum was reminding her that Hua Qiyue could only escape once but not twice.
However, she lamented Qiuyun for being disobedient as she had obviously not put the diarrhea drug into Hua Qiyue's breakfast for she had no symptoms of diarrhea.
The only explanation was that Qiuyun did not put the drug in!
However, Hua Mengshi was too careless and missed the fact that Long Red was an incredible medicine that could cure all toxins.
As Hua Qiyue walked down the stage, she waved happily to the wealthy daughters in the audiences. "Er, please remember, that Hua Qiyue had won. Hahaha, don't forget to send the silvers that y'all lost to Hua's Mansion!"
"Hua Qiyue, you are merely lucky! Don't be arrogant, hmpt, do you think we cannot afford to pay 100 tales of silver? Come and bring the silver to Hua's Mansion!"
A rich and angry daughter announced loudly while a servant around her responded hastily, bringing 100 tales of silver to Hua's Mansion.
The rest of the daughters followed as they all did not want to be looked down by Hua Qiyue, especially since 100 tales of silver meant nothing to them.
Hua Qiyue was delighted as she entered the carriage with Lv Xin. After all, the whole tournament would only be done after 10 days for all 500 participants to finish competing.
"Er, Miss Hua, wait!"
A crisp voice by a woman stopped Hua Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue lifted up the curtains and saw a girl wearing jianghu style clothing running towards her. She held up her hand, smiling brightly. "Hi, Miss Hua! I am Ji Jing, the sister of Ji Feng. I like you and want to be your friend!"
Hua Qiyue was stunned. Ji Jing seemed to be fourteen or fifteen. She had sincerity written all over her eyes and did not seem to be a cunning fellow.
