Chapter 158: By Hook or By Crook

That was indeed the truth. That proud, happy, eye-catching young maiden was Ling Chuxi!

Below the fighting ring, the disciples of the Ling family were waving their fists excitedly. Some people even loudly shouted Ling Chuxi’s name. The look of excitement on their faces were even happier than if they themselves had won.

Ling Yuanhong was also calling out, “Did you see that? Did you see that? That is my Chuxi! My Chuxi is awesome, right?! Instant-kill, really instant-kill!”

“To hell with you. When did Chuxi became yours?!”

“Bullsh*t. Don’t talk nonsense. Chuxi is not yours!”

The moment Ling Yuanhong finished speaking, he was beaten by a few of the Ling family’s disciples.

“Ow! Ow! Ow! Ah, don’t hit my face. I need to make a living with my face…”

“Then I need to beat your face more. You shameless person. Chuxi is not yours!”

“That’s right, beat him till his face splits!”

…

Ling Xiaoting was leaning on a big tree off to the side, quietly looking at the magnificent young maiden. The corner of his lips curled up into a bitter smile. Ling Chuxi was really very dazzling and very pretty. In the end, who will this dazzling Chuxi belong to? Finally, who will she smile for?

Qin Yumei was also watching the competition from below the ring with an extraordinarily ugly expression on her face. Ling Chuxi was already so strong, and would only continue to improve even more. She was truly unmatched. Unmatched…

Qin Yumei suddenly understood that she would never be able to catch up to Ling Chuxi, not for the rest of her life. Furthermore, she could not even dream of trying to trap or harm her in anyway. Turning her head, she saw how Ling Xiaoting was sorrowfully gazing at Ling Chuxi, and closed her eyes in pain.

From the start, everything was wrong. Liking someone did not mean suppressing your own so-called love rival, but rather letting the person you like understand your own beautiful side, working hard to let the person like you back. However, she was wrong right from the start. Now, it was too late, too late…

Meanwhile, the look on the Qin family’s first elder’s face was as if he was constipated, holding it in till his face was flushed.

‘Losing like this, isn’t it too shameful? There wasn’t even a struggle. Even when slaughtering pigs and cows, the animals would still put up a fight. The Qin family’s two disciples did not even struggle and were directly instant-killed! Ah, no. That’s not right, this metaphor is wrong!’

Based on the Qin family’s first elder’s strategy, the first round should have been a draw. However, he never thought that within such a short period of time, Ling Yichen’s cultivation had improved so quickly. Could it be that his Battle Qi had reached Level-7?

In the second round, the Qin family’s first elder thought that it would have been a sure win. Ling Yichen was the only one in the Ling family who could be considered good. He never thought that his family would lose the second round even more terribly!

Two wins out of the three battles. Without even needing Lan Xinyu to step out, the first round of the tournament was thus won.

However, Ling Chuxi understood that the critical juncture was the upcoming round with the Luo family. They were not weak like the Qin family!

Indeed, seeing the Ling family winning so easily, the first elder of the Luo family had an expression that was not pleasant. After that, he rushed down from the platform and exchanged glances with the other Luo family elders. They understood his message hidden in his gaze and walked to the back, doing who knows what.

Ling Chuxi saw all this. She spoke to Ling Yichen and Lan Xinyu in a soft voice, “Later on, be careful. I am worried that the Luo family will try to win by hook or by crook.”

Lan Xinyu’s eyebrows shot up in fury. “What? How dare they!”

“It is not a matter of daring or not daring. Sometimes, in order to achieve certain things, one needs to be unscrupulous. Lan Xinyu, you need to remember. If you are fighting for your own family clan’s benefits, or if it is to save someone you care about, being unscrupulous is sometimes necessary,” said Ling Chuxi in a serious tone, with a solemn expression to match. “Although you may carry the burden of guilt, but for the sake of the whole family clan, you can only quietly bear this suffering on your own.”
