The General's Genius Daughter

The sky was dyed green and the arrow charged forward with murderous intent. The phantom of the Blood Sword was immediately destroyed as Princess Mingzhu felt a strong force hitting her body. Her chest was compressed and her throat felt the sweet taste of blood.

Her body flew out immediately!

Princess Mingzhu screamed out in shock as she utilized her spiritual energy to protect her entire body, allowing her to fall lightly. Even so, she suffered minor internal injuries.

Suddenly, rocks flew everywhere as if a giant mountain had been blasted by explosives. Rocks that met the green light were reduced to powder form in seconds, accompanied by the sounds of the explosion.

At where she stood before, on the temporarily constructed stage made from strong thousand-years high-quality marble stones, was a large hole!

Beside the hole, powdery rocks were all around it. It was apparent that the technique used by Hua Qiyue just now was strong and powerful. If not for the fact that Princess Mingzhu had evaded it quickly, she would have been reduced to powder form in no time!

Everyone was quiet!

Hua Mengshi had spent 30 minutes fighting with Li Yuhe but Hua Qiyue used only one move to force her opponent down the stage!

Is this really the legendary useless First Miss of Hua family?

Is this really the legendary lustre Hua Qiyue?

Everyone's eyes opened widely like bells. Even the Emperor was shell shocked.

Hua Qiyue paid respects to Princess Mingzhu under the stage. "Princess Mingzhu, good match!"

Her crisp voice pulled everyone back into reality, and the Emperor clapped immediately. "Amazing! Great! Winning in one move, Princess Jinghua surprises me!"

The people around started discussing and numerous applauded for the wonderful scene just now.

Tianci jumped up excitedly, clapping her soft white hands.

Ji Feng and Ji Jing looked at each other. They were both shocked but overjoyed.

Ji Zhong could not help but nod profusely, smiling. "I didn't misjudge her. She was indifferent back then to both compliments and insults, making all believe that she was an idiot. In fact, she was the smart one to not show her brightness... Now... now that she had shown her true abilities in front of everyone, she wanted to warn those who disrespected her."

"Dad was right. Hua Qiyue had the miracle medicine and was the focus of many major families." Ji Feng smiled lightly. As the Ji family had never believed in the cruel and bloodthirsty method of obtaining resources, they were known for being the family of integrity.

"If Hua Qiyue became our apprentice, the Ji family can truly shine!" Ji Zhong smiled.

Ji Feng and Ji Jing laughed but said nothing.

Hua Qiyue participated in the tournament for Tianci. It was still unclear if she wanted to be the disciple of Ji family.

Princess Mingzhu stared harshly at Hua Qiyue. She wiped the blood away from her mouth and ran away in embarrassment.

It was indeed too shameful to lose in just one move.

"The second round of competition, Princess Jinghua wins!"

The host announced and looked at Hua Qiyue with admiration.

Hua Qiyue left the stage. On the grandstand, Yun Shimo's pupils were full of complex emotions.

"That woman is so impressive..."

"Who could be the person behind her?"

An uncomfortable feeling rose in his heart. Yun Shimo could not tell what it was as he felt it for the first time.

At the same time, the important people from Ouyang family, Liu family, and Baili family all looked at Hua Qiyue with shock as she walked down the stage. Their face was solemn as their eyes held complicated emotions.

"This woman is not easy to deal with."

"The person behind her is even more difficult."

Caiqing and Caining sat there in shock, full of incredulity in their eyes.

"Caining, am I not mistaken? That loser actually won?"

"You are not wrong. She won." Caining restored his calm expression but the way he looked at Hua Qiyue had changed. It was now extremely complicated, a mixture of shock, mystery, and confusion...

Beside Yun Shimo, Huangfu Xuan laughed happily. "Hahaha, you really did win, Brother Yun. How did this Hua Qiyue win? Huh, her Spiritual Qi just now was green. She is a Dragon Diagram Standard Qi Artist?"

Huangfu Xuan was stunned solid while Yun Shimo smiled mysteriously, saying nothing.

Hua Qiyue had hidden her abilities so well that even Yun Shimo did not realize that she was a Qi Artist of the Dragon Diagram Standard. Her showcase of ability today must be definitely to warn some people.

As she was immensely strong, she could afford to scare off those who had bad intentions on her. After all, a miracle medicine like Long Red was wanted by many.

Several large families had been eyeing Hua Qiyue for long, but they dared not act rashly.

Hua Qiyue returned to her seat and heard Ji Jing's laughter. Turning around, she saw Ji Jing walking over, standing beside her. "Sister Qiyue, you lied to us!"

Hua Qiyue smiled lightly. "But you did know now?"

Ji Jing smiled. "Why do I feel that everyone is looking at you? Oh ya, you were a blockbuster just now. You used the Soul-Binding Steps that were not seen since a thousand years ago! Tsk tsk, sister, who is your master?"

"I also don't know! He refused to tell me!" Hua Qiyue smiled. Even though she did hold a good impression of Ji Jing, she dared not tell the truth.

The two women chatted excitedly as people started to surround Hua Qiyue.

A strange glimmer flashed across the Queen's eyes. It did seem like it would be more difficult to deal with Hua Qiyue now that she had shown her true strength. The Emperor would definitely attempt to include her in the imperial family.

The Emperor nodded profusely at the side. Looking at First Prince, he smiled. "First Prince, isn't Princess Jinghua a blockbuster now just now? I haven't seen a Qi Artist like her for a long while!"

The Emperor smiled and First Prince nodded too. "Dad is right. Hua Qiyue is a Dragon Diagram Standard Qi Artist at merely 18 years old. She should be the top prodigy of Changjing Kingdom, or even Tianyuan Continent!"

"Indeed, the Prince is right. There are few Qi Artists of even the Reach Cloud Standard, and Hua Qiyue had achieved Dragon Diagram... The master behind her must be even more powerful!" The Queen regained her composure and smiled, yearnings in her eyes. "Emperor, if we can attract Hua Qiyue into our royal family, our country will be more stable."

The Emperor smiled as he thought about the possibilities.

The Queen was right in that it would be a pity if a genius like Hua Qiyue left for other places.

However, senior Qi Artists were usually arrogant and uncontrollable. It would be great if Hua Qiyue would not oppose the royal family.

The third round of the finals began, with the competition naturally not as exciting as the match between Hua Qiyue and Princess Mingzhu.

Many had come to invite Hua Qiyue for lunch, including Liu family, Xia family, and Baili family. Hua Qiyue rejected all of them.

At lunchtime, the competition paused and would resume at 12:45pm.

Hua Qiyue brought Tianci and the rest to Sheng Shi Restaurant, a place that was extremely crowded due to its proximity to the tournament. Many were watching the competition in the third or fourth stories of the restaurant.

Hua Qiyue's arrival attracted the attention of many men. The graceful woman in white was a genius Qi Artist, and a woman who held the magical medicine.

Instantly, Hua Qiyue's reputation transformed from a useless woman to a reputable true genius. Which man would not want to know her?

"Oh, it's our Princess Jinghua! Come!"

Host Zhang of Sheng Shi Restaurant smiled as she invited Hua Qiyue into the top VIP room.

After ordering with Tianci, Hua Qiyue saw Ji Feng, Ji Jing, and Yun Shimo coming into the chamber. Huangfu Xuan made a sarcastic remark as he looked at Hua Qiyue disdainfully. "Hua Qiyue, what a hypocrite. You lied to everyone by pretending to not be a master! Hmpt, you made me worried about the gamble just now!"

Hua Qiyue glanced at him. "I don't think I invited you."

Hearing that, Huangfu Xuan jumped up in anger. Pointing at her, he shouted, "You, you, you..."

He could only utter a few "you" but could not speak a complete sentence.

Hua Qiyue rarely cared if Huangfu Xuan was disrespectful to her. However, it would no longer be suitable to endure such a noisy person.

Yun Shimo looked at Hua Qiyue gently and explained. "Brother Huangfu is too straightforward. The Princess need not bare that in mind."

Hua Qiyue snorted and was about to receive the bowl passed by the waiter when Yun Shimo took it and placed it gently in front of her. "The pearl rice is delicious, even more so with the sweet and sour pork."

Hua Qiyue was a bit confused about why Yun Shimo was suddenly so gentle, but she naturally took over the sweet and sour ribs that he had passed to her.

Their interactions were natural and warm in the eyes of others, as if they had dated for a long time.

Ji Feng coughed and smiled. "Qiyue, you hid well. I didn't even realize that you are at the lower Dragon Diagram Standard."

"Not really, none of you asked if I was a Qi Artist before!" Hua Qiyue smiled in return, shutting Ji Jing and Ji Feng down.

Tianci's white and chubby hand pulled on her dress as he signalled that he wanted to consume the fish-flavored meatballs opposite.

Before Hua Qiyue could even react, Yun Shimo sent a few meatballs over with a small spoon. "Tianci, is this delicious?"

Tianci nodded heavily.

"I didn't expect the quality of the dish to remain the same when the changed the boss." Yun Shimo smiled as his ice-cold demeanor seemed to have been melted by the spring wind. He smiled a lot today.

After Yun Shimo finished speaking, he reached out to wipe the soup off the corner of Hua Qiyue's mouth.

That made Hua Qiyue completely petrified.

"Did he not take his medicine today? Why is he suddenly like this?"

Everyone turned to look at Yun Shimo in shock, especially Ji Jing. She always had a secret crush on the medicine saint Prince Nan, who was famous for his asexual behaviors. However, she never did get a response from him.

The gentleness of Yun Shimo by Hua Qiyue made her understand that perhaps Yun Shimo liked Hua Qiyue instead of her.

Ji Jing would gladly concede defeat to Hua Qiyue, a legendary figure of Tianyuan Continent. They were compatible indeed!

But what about her brother?
