Mu Ningxue was done changing. She preferred to wear darker outfits when she was fighting. Shao Yu followed her down to the dueling ground. Despite her attractive face, she could not help but think of her beauty was just average whenever she was with Mu Ningxue, especially when Mu Ningxue was dressed up. Mu Ningxue was able to perfect every style with her goddess-like temperament, be it a luxuriously dressed little princess, or a charming woman in a sporty outfit. Even women would be dazzled by her beauty, but most women would be envious of her too…

“Why am I sensing magic?” Mu Ningxue suddenly noticed energy ripples coming from the dueling ground.

“Maybe the guy is practicing,” Shao Yu said.

“It doesn’t look like it. The energy level is unusually high,” Mu Ningxue observed.

The two continued on their way to the dueling ground. They happened to bump into Bai Hongfei at the entrance.

The huge blasts had gotten Bai Hongfei’s attention too. Mu Ningxue did not ask him what was going on when she noticed he was also wearing a puzzled look.

A few young servants of Fanxue Mountain were already at the dueling ground before they went inside. The servants were lifting a heavily injured man from the ground, covered in a cloud of dust that had yet to dissipate.

“That arrogant He Yao dares to hurt a member of Fanxue Mountain? I only asked him to wait here for a moment. How bold of him!” Bai Hongfei cursed.

Frost particles were lingering in the air before falling to the ground. Everyone eventually noticed another figure standing in the cloud of dust. He was wearing a white-blue sporty outfit, and his temperament resembled a firm glacier.

“Carry this piece of trash down the mountain and tell those who want to challenge us that this is the lightest punishment for those who dare to trespass into Fanxue Mountain without permission!” Mu Bai harrumphed coldly. He withdrew his Ice Magic without bothering to take another glance at He Yao.

Many of He Yao’s joints were damaged. His eyes were wide and bloodshot. His face was filled with disbelief on top of anger!

He had lost. He had lost the fight!

He Yao had never treated Fanxue Mountain seriously. He had believed only Mu Ningxue would stand a chance against him, and did not expect a random person who was sent to waste his time to possess such terrifying strength!

He Yao felt like he was under great pressure throughout the fight. He was severely injured after just a few exchanges. There were only a few young adults across the country who he considered worthy opponents, but the young man seemed to be a few years younger than him…

“Mu…Mu Bai!” He Yao could not help recalling the name when he was being carried out of the dueling ground. Why had he never heard the name before?

Shao Yu, Bai Hongfei, Mu Ningxue, and both Mu Linsheng and Mu Zhuoyun, who had just arrived, were standing there on the dueling ground with blank faces.

Mu Bai turned around and realized a lot of people were behind him. He told Mu Linsheng, “Uncle Linsheng, it seems like our security has been a little loose. Even though that guy might be a little impressive, he shouldn’t be able to trespass into our territory so easily.”

“A…a little impressive,” Mu Linsheng smacked his lips. He began to wonder if the man being carried away was actually He Yao.

“Mu Bai, are you done with your seclusion?” Mu Ningxue asked calmly.

“Yes. I was thinking of practicing a little here, but I somehow stumbled into that idiot here,” Mu Bai spat.

“Mu Bai, do you know who the person you just beat the crap out of is?” Bai Hongfei said.

“Is he someone special?” Mu Bai glimpsed at the man who was being carried away on a stretcher.

“A little, I guess, since he just won the Young Adults Contest of Feiniao City yesterday,” Bai Hongfei informed him.

“Oh, no wonder he was a little capable,” Mu Bai replied coolly.

“…”

The others were immediately speechless. However, they were very shocked, too.

Everyone was pleased to welcome Mu Bai to Fanxue Mountain at first, since he was a member of their family.

However, they did not expect Mu Bai to possess such terrifying strength. Mu Ningxue took a little more than ten minutes to change, but Mu Bai had already arranged for the servants to carry He Yao away on a stretcher.

“Mu Bai, that was very unwise of you. The man was supposed to have a duel with Mu Ningxue. He even challenged Mu Ningxue in front of the crowd during the grand final of the contest…” Bai Hongfei said.

“So he wasn’t lying? Did you bring him here?” Mu Bai was surprised.

“I did,” Bai Hongfei said.

“Oh, I only took care of him because he was talking crap about Fanxue Mountain,” Mu Bai sniffed.

“Forget it, let it be. I did say that Fanxue Mountain would accept the challenge, instead of myself. It won’t be a problem if Mu Bai was the one that beat him,” Mu Ningxue intervened.

There was nothing else Mu Ningxue could do under the circumstances.

She was familiar with Mu Bai’s strength. The two had even had a friendly duel before Mu Bai went into seclusion. She could also roughly estimate He Yao’s strength.

“Then… what should we tell the people that are waiting for the result?” Mu Linsheng asked anxiously.

“Just tell them the truth,” Mu Ningxue said.

More people had gathered under Fanxue Mountain. Some had even brought drinks and alcohol and set up picnics, seeing the perfect weather and the elegant scenery.

“The duel should be starting soon. Were there any updates from the people on the mountain?” Zhong Li said.

There was a sigh. “If I knew Mo Fan was the owner of Fanxue Mountain, I would have asked him to let us join him. I heard a lot of rumors about how strict Fanxue Mountain was when recruiting new members when it was still a shithole back then. No one even bothered to apply, but Fanxue Mountain has grown to its current level in just a few years. It’s currently one of the most prosperous places in the country. It’s almost impossible to even squeeze our heads into it. Say, Gu Ying, you should have been more decisive by presenting yourself to the man’s bed. That way, our Foehn Hunter Squad might be able to earn a more significant role instead of sleeping outdoors now,” Xie Hao grumbled.

“Do you really think I’m as cheap as a cabbage? Why don’t you go sell yourself instead? Even if I wanted to sell myself, it only works if he’s interested in me. Didn’t you watch the Young Adults Contest? That Mu Ningxue was as pretty as an angel! I’m like a pile of mud compared to her!” Gu Ying snarled at him.

“That’s enough, let’s just keep being busybodies. Speaking of which, who do you think is stronger? He Yao or Mu Ningxue? Either way, I still think that He Yao is a whole level weaker than Mo Fan,” Xie Hao said.

“It’s starting, look, someone from Fanxue Mountain is bringing us an update,” Zhong Li weaved through the crowd and saw some people coming down the mountain.

“Strange, why are they carrying a stretcher?”
