The General's Genius Daughter

"She would be a hungry ghost later if she didn't eat."

"Haha, it will soon be her turn! For a useless woman like her to strike, she would be either dead or heavily injured!"

"It's a waste of our time to talk about her. Look, isn't that Mr. Ji Feng? He is so handsome! If only I can sit next to him..."

"Yes, Ji Yang is not bad too."

"Prince Nan is the most fabulous!"

"The prince, the prince is not bad too. Furthermore, he doesn't have a wife..."

The women whispered. They were much more interested in pretty men compared to the tournament. However, Hua Qiyue focused intensely on the competition as she attempted to remember every single move on the stage.

She was like a diligent scholar, solemn and humble in her learnings. Her slim brows were sometimes raised while other times locked, with her expressions ever changing.

Qiuyun was back. She handed all the betting deals to Butler Wang. As Butler Wang was now loyal to Hua Qiyue, it would be the safest to give the deals to him.

As the tenth round approaches, Lv Xin's anxiousness increased further. Seeing that Hua Qiyue was still eating her watermelon slowly, she approached her and whispered, "Miss... let's, let's leave quietly..."

Hua Qiyue raised her brows as she stared at her in shock. "Why do I need to leave? Isn't my turn soon?"

Lv Xin was so scared that she turned pale. As someone who truly cared for her master, her expressions showed everything. Beside her, Qiuyun pretended to be anxious. "Yes, Miss, you, you should just leave first, no one would care if you just escape now!"

Hua Qiyue put down her watermelon skin calmly as she wiped her mouth. "Look at y'all. It's only competition up there on the stage. Your master will definitely win. Look at their moves, it's very easy, and I know them too!"

Another round of laughter followed what Hua Qiyue had said. Her words seemed to be like that coming from an idiot.

When Hua Qiyue placed down her handkerchief, the fourth round of the female competition had ended as the losing party had fallen out of the stage into a corner. After the emcee announced the winner, he read out the participants for the next round of competition.

"Tenth round, female competition, Hua Qiyue versus Ouyang Liuer! Starting in 15 minutes time!"

Which is to say that there were 15 minutes of rest for the audience to relax before the next round of competition.

Hua Qiyue smiled. It was her turn now and her opponent was Ouyang Liuer. That girl was not far away. She stared at Hua Qiyue coldly, with a cold smile lingering.

Hua Qiyue stood up slowly and Lv Xin turned pale with fear. She held on to her master's sleeve. "Miss..."

"Lv Xin, you must have confidence in your master. I will win you much silver today!" Hua Qiyue seemed to be joking.

Qiuyun pulled Lv Xin away, appearing to be confident in Hua Qiyue. "Miss was right. Since we are here already, all we needed to do is to trust First Miss!"

Qiuyun actually wished for Hua Qiyue to be dead so she could return to Hua Mengshi and get a large amount of silver as a reward!

That was because Hua Mengshi's goal was to kill Hua Qiyue. During breakfast, Qiuyun followed what Hua Mengshi requested and put diarrhea drug in her breakfast.

That type of drug acted slowly. If the timing was perfect, the drug would work when Hua Qiyue entered the stage, resulting in her running away, ruining her reputation!

However, Ouyang Liuer hated Hua Qiyue. She would definitely strike in chaos and destroy Hua Qiyue!

Hua Qiyue stared at Qiuyun with deep loving looks. She walked confidently towards the stairs. Her pace calm and confident, her expression peaceful, playing deaf to all the jeering and mocking.

"Hua Qiyue versus Ouyang Liuer, ready!"

The emcee was a small chubby man. He wore a big red coat and looked extremely slutty, reminding Hua Qiyue of the seductive Tianpi.

Hua Qiyue walked up lightly, attracting all the glances.

There had been too many rumors about Hua Qiyue previously, both positive ones and negative ones. Now that a confident and calm Hua Qiyue appeared before everyone's eyes, people dared not believe in these rumors.

Ouyang Liuer followed her up to the stage. The two faced each other coldly.

Ouyang Liuer actually wanted to jeer and mock Hua Qiyue, but she was aware that many important figures were around, including the Prince Nan and Ji Feng that she adored.

How could she ruin her own image? Ouyang Liuer was blinded by their attractiveness and would long for the loving of any one of these men.

"Sorry if I injure you, Miss Hua!"

Ouyang Liuer smirked and placed her palm on her fist, full of disdain and mocking in her eyes.

Hua Qiyue blinked. She stared at the pools of blood under the stage that were left behind by other contestants.

Hua Qiyue closed her eyes with feigned fear and she deeply inhaled. "What a terrible fall for these people. I do hope that Miss Ouyang can strike softly. I don't know any Qi Art but Master Xuanji said that I would definitely win, so I, I will try my best!"

Somewhere in the audience, a man in blue clothing's mouth twitched. "This Hua Qiyue, using me as pretense again!"

She knew Qi Art and was of high level. She would definitely win this time but she used him as pretense! Looks like that signaled the start of a good show!

Laughter roared beside the stage, much louder than all the previous times. "If Master Xuanji's words are really so accurate, even poverty can be eliminated!"

"Oh my god, you listened to that stupid monk, hahaha..." Ouyang Liuer smiled arrogantly. However, noticing her surroundings, she concealed her arrogant laughter.

Yun Shimo frowned. "Women like Ouyang Liuer is the most annoying."

"However, is Hua Qiyue telling the truth? If it is true, it will really be mystical for her to come and participate in the competition purely due to the predictions of Xuanji."

However, Yun Shimo did not regret his choice just now.

Beside him, Huangfu Xuan was laughing so hard that he was almost having a crump. "Hahaha, Brother Yun, did you hear the woman? That crazy woman came because of a prediction by Master Xuanji. That's so funny. hahaha... With her stupid personality, she would die or be injured!"

The rest of the crowd looked at Hua Qiyue dubiously.

After all, they began noticing Hua Qiyue when they placed bets on her.

At the seats of the Ji family, Ji Zhong's face sank. He had heard that the legitimate daughter of Hua's Mansion was an idiot but he still allowed Hua Qiyue to participate due to the prestige of Hua's Mansion.

He did not expect Hua Qiyue to make a fool of herself in the tournament by talking about Master Xuanji!

"If this Hua Qiyue is really an idiot that knows nothing about Qi Art, this will be a waste of our time," Ji Zhong said coldly.

Ji Yang looked at Hua Qiyue below with disdainful eyes too. The two were still staring at each other, waiting for the competition to commence. "Uncle, you are right. The legitimate daughter of Hua's Mansion is known for being useless as her qi veins are completely blocked, making it impossible for her to learn Qi Art."

Ji Jing stared at her second brother but did not say much.

And Ji Feng merely lifted up his teacup slowly and sipped his tea. The tea entering his mouth was fragrant and mesmerizing, making him focus his attention on Hua Qiyue again.

"The woman in the white dress was idiotic at times and confident at others. Which one is the real her?"

Ji Feng suddenly had a deep interest in Hua Qiyue.

"Competition begin!"

The small chubby man shouted to start the competition, and the ignorant Ouyang Liuer had already struck towards Hua Qiyue!

Hua Qiyue widened her eyes in shock, full of fear and bewilderment within. When the hand was about to slap her chest, she heart piercing and desperate screams from Lv Xin...

Hua Qiyue's back suddenly arched as her feet move sideways like shooting stars, shifting far away from Ouyang Liuer in an instant!

That move shocked every single audience.

They all believed that Hua Qiyue would have died!

They didn't expect Hua Qiyue to be so "lucky", evading the attack during such a crucial moment!

Seeing that her hit missed Hua Qiyue, Ouyang Liuer was angry and frustrated. "Hua Qiyue, you are an idiot that only knows how to run! Face my moves straight on!"

She deepened her voice such that those on the stage would be unable to hear her.

Below the stage, Lv Xin covered her mouth tightly, with a few tears appearing in her eyes.

Second Madame and Hua Mengshi were still watching the show on their seats. Seeing this scene, they were naturally disappointed as they glanced at each other, curious to how Hua Qiyue could have evaded the murderous move by Ouyang Liuer.

Hua Qiyue screamed. "Agh! That was dangerous! Luckily I remained focused!"

As she spoke, Ouyang Liuer attacked again! This time, she did not venture forward but used her spiritual qi to assassinate Hua Qiyue.

In her heart, she needed not to do her best to deal with idiots like Hua Qiyue, whose qi veins were blocked. Thus, she acted based on her emotions.

The audience all became nervous with the changing atmosphere on the stage. For the subsequent moves, Ouyang Liuer did not give Hua Qiyue any chance, striking at her weakest spot every time.

However, Hua Qiyue always evaded the attacks in critical moments. She moved like lightning using her swift legs, moving three inches away from her opponent easily!

Thus, Ouyang Liuer could not even take the upper hand. Her Qi Art was useless in the face of Hua Qiyue's magnificent steps. After all, it was taught by the old Tianpi!

The rest were surprised by this duel. No one expected an idiot to evade more than 10 moves by Ouyang Liuer on stage.

Ji Feng squinted his eyes as he smiled lightly.

"A girl with a lot of secrets."

"Even if she does not know Qi Art, her feet movements are incredible!"

"It is easy for one to block the attack, but it is difficult for her to evade danger every single time. However, Hua Qiyue did it. Regardless of her knowledge in Qi Art, her feet movements showed that she was indeed taught by a master!"

Ji Zhong's eyes enlarged as well as Hua Qiyue's feet movements confused him as well. "Feng, look at Hua Qiyue's movements... Is it a known movement in Jianghu? Does such an impressive skill exist?"

Ji Feng spent a few years outside gathering medicine and thus made a lot of Jianghu friends, increasing his exposure to many Jianghu skills and Qi Art techniques.

Thus, Ji Zhong asked his son, the expert in this matter.

He did not expect Ji Feng to shake his head. "Dad, I also cannot tell what movement technique that is, this technique... is impressive, turning danger into nothing every single time. That is really outstanding."
