The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 71: Let the Finals Begin

Lv Xin was hesitant but Qiuyun smiled instead. Even though she spent the least time with Hua Qiyue, she knew her the best.

"Don't worry. First Miss will definitely win!"

Qiuyun's words made Caiqing and Caining behind snort in disdain as they believed that Hua Qiyue only defeated her opponents because of her mysterious footwork.

In the tournament, masters were all around. They were not optimistic about Hua Qiyue, with some even secretly hoping that she would lose to others.

Tianci pa.s.sed a cup of water to Hua Qiyue, showing his obedience. Hua Qiyue caressed the boy's head gently, arising an inexplicable sentiment in many.

On the grandstand where Ouyang family was sitting in, a man in black looked at Hua Qiyue with melancholic eyes. The calmness of the woman in white and her beauty made the man in black inexplicably worried.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" A faint male voice rang. He was the servant of the man in white.

"I was thinking that if the woman did become a phoenix... probably nothing can stop her in the future. "The handsome man had a slight melancholy written over his face.

"Sir, you are overthinking. She is the useless Hua Qiyue. How can a crow become a Phoenix?" The servant smirked contemptuously.

The man in black glanced coldly at the servant, with a gaze that was as cold as possible.

"Anyone who can defeat my cousin is not ordinary." The man in black replied casually. He was Ouyang Youche from the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Liuer was his cousin. However, he never really interacted with his cousins due to his introverted nature and his melancholic appearance.

The servant looked at Hua Qiyue again. She had stood up calmly and was walking towards the stage. Her confident steps spoke nothing of her supposed uselessness.

Ouyang Youche's gaze became even more solemn.

On the other hand, the hearts of Ji Feng and Ji Jing were also thumping.

Even though they were confident in Hua Qiyue, they heard that Princess Mingzhu had obtained a treasure that could help her improve her Spiritual Qi immensely. As such, they were worried to whether Hua Qiyue would win.

Yun s.h.i.+mo was sipping on tea calmly as he examined Hua Qiyue and Princess Mingzhu. Beside him, Huangfu Xuan was commenting, "Tsk tsk, the woman must have had extreme luck to be able to enter the finals."

Beside him, Princess Huiya smiled. "Brother, don't criticize her. Princess Jinghua seemed extraordinary, she does have enough confidence."

"I don't believe that she can win!" Huangfu Xuan gnashed his teeth.

Yun s.h.i.+mo suddenly laughed. "Brother, let's make a bet? How?"

Huangfu Xuan remembered the last bet he had where he lost to Hua Qiyue and Yun s.h.i.+mo, and he quickly waved his hand. "No, I won't partic.i.p.ate in such a vice such as gambling."

Yun s.h.i.+mo smiled gently. "No, you are just afraid. Last time, you had lost hundreds of pounds of silver. That must have been pretty depressing. How about we bet on her victory this time with the young master of Liu family on our left?"

Huangfu Xuan's eyes lit up as he had often had conflicts with Liu Shaoming, the young master of Liu family, when they were still in college.

Liu Shaoming was now looking at Hua Qiyue with disdainful eyes. He could not have approved of the woman.

"Alright, Bingyi, go over and say that Brother Yun and I want to bet with him, we will bet..." Before Huangfu Xuan was even finished, Yun s.h.i.+mo interrupted him.

"We'll bet 100,000 pounds of gold."

Huangfu Xuan was so shocked that his chin was falling. "How... how can we do this?"

Huangfu Xuan did not even have so much gold himself. If he had lost, he would not be able to pay.

"Furthermore, we will bet on the victory of Hua Qiyue." Yun s.h.i.+mo was full of confidence.

Bingyi's mouth twitched as she mourned a few seconds for her young master was mesmerized by the woman, even betting so much on her victory.

If they had lost, they would lose real gold. That's definitely too much even for Prince Nan.

However, Bingyi dared not disobey the order of her master. After a while, Bingyi brought back the written proof by Liu Shaoming, who had indeed betted on Hua Qiyue's defeat. If he had lost, he would pay 100,000 pounds of gold to Huangfu Xuan and Yun s.h.i.+mo too.

Liu Shaoming actually did say Hua Qiyue before when Hua Qiyue was still herself. When they met before, Hua Qiyue stared at him with l.u.s.t, even drooling.

As such, Liu Shaoming detested Hua Qiyue. Thus, seeing Hua Qiyue now, he believed that she was merely pretending under someone's guidance.

She had never supported Hua Qiyue, and would not bet on her victory.

"Brother Yun, do you really believe that Hua Qiyue will win?"

Huangfu Xuan was a bit confused. He did not understand why Yun s.h.i.+mo was so confident in a useless princess like Hua Qiyue.

Yun s.h.i.+mo's black pupils were like endless wells. He was almost expressionless as he explained, "Of course. Brother Huangfu, do you think that my judgement on people is bad?"

Huangfu Xuan and Bingyi's mouth twitched as the thought to themselves that his judgement was bad enough to like a woman like Hua Qiyue.

Yun s.h.i.+mo merely smiled gently. "You only saw her superficial side, but not her inner heart."

Bingyi and Huangfu Xuan looked at each other in confusion as they examined Hua Qiyue on stage once more. Under the cloudy sky, Hua Qiyue wore a white dress that resembled snow. The wind blew up her dress as it swayed. Her eyes were as sharp as sword, with light s.h.i.+ning out of it.

Bingyi and Huangfu Xuan were both shocked. They did not expect Hua Qiyue to have completely transformed herself in such a short time.

"Princess Mingzhu, we are so fated to have met again!" Hua Qiyue smiled.

Princess Mingzhu was all smiling. Even though her reputation was ruined when she framed Hua Qiyue last time, her beauty did make many forgive her.

"Yes, we are fated. I won't lose to you this time." Princess Mingzhu was full of confidence as she took out a crimson sword from her sleeves.

That sword had a stunning red glow, like when dazzling sunlight shone on fresh blood. It was extremely glaring!

"Blood Sword! It's Blood Sword!"

"Such negative energy from the sword!"

"I heard that even though Blood Word can improve one's Spiritual Qi, it also make one braver and more ferocious!"

"Women shouldn't use such a sword!"

"Yes! Blood Sword was created 500 years ago. As a magical sword with more than a hundred years of history, it was rumored that no one could escape under its wrath!"

Everyone was discussing at once.

Hua Qiyue naturally heard some of their discussions. Remaining calm, she said, "Princess Mingzhu, please strike."

Princess Mingzhu snorted. "I have my treasure. You strike first."

Even though the finals had already begun, the two women were still wasting time on the stage. On the grandstand, Liu Shaoming laughed out loud. "That useless woman is afraid of that Blood Sword."

His words were full of contempt and arrogance. However, other than Liu Shaoming, everyone else from the family bore a solemn face. They were sure that Hua Qiyue had some tricks hidden within her sleeves from her composed att.i.tude.

Hua Qiyue shook her head, light s.h.i.+ning out from her beautiful eyes. "Princess Mingzhu, you are wrong. You can never win me even with your treasure."

The speech was so arrogant that Princess Mingzhu's face reddened. She could not stand such disdain from Hua Qiyue, and thus snorted. "If Princess Jinghua is so confident, I'll strike first!"

As she spoke, she waved her Blood Sword, and a crimson light flashed across the sky, resembling a rainbow. Everyone was shocked.

Tianci sat on the grandstand, sweating nervously. Lv Xin had to keep wiping the sweat off his forehead, comforting him. "Young Master, don't worry. We need to believe in First Miss, she will definitely win!"

Even though she said that, Lv Xin had no certainty of what she said as well.

Tianci nodded profusely as he focused on the stage.

The b.l.o.o.d.y light was like a dragon, screaming sharply. Suddenly, it transformed into a devious snake, charging at Hua Qiyue with its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth!

The crowd exclaimed as they were deeply shocked by the fierceness and ferocity of the Blood Sword.

A normal treasure could merely attack the enemy by accommodating the master's attack. However, a top grade treasure will automatically attack the enemy just by following the master's will.

Blood Sword had a history of 500 years, and countless people had died under it, with it bearing extreme negative energy. Using such a sword shook all the other top grade treasures.

Hua Qiyue looked at the phantom snake that rushed toward her, and utilized Mourning Steps to avoid the attack of the Blood Sword.

From the eyes of outsiders, Hua Qiyue use her unique steps to escape just like previous times.

They believed that she would use the same old techniques as the previous two compet.i.tions.

However, Hua Qiyue unexpectedly extended her hands and sang, "Binding Spirits - Condensation Wave!"

As she spoke, the Spiritual Qi around her formed a giant aura that shook the entire world. That was the special Qi Art that Hua Qiyue had learned from Tianpi, the Soul-Binding Steps. That was the first step. To deal with Princess Mingzhu, the first step should be enough.

"It's Soul-Binding Steps!"

"I heard that it had been lost for a thousand years!"

"Oh my G.o.d! Such powerful shockwave!"

The rest all exclaimed and shouted, as they were more surprised than when Princess Mingzhu took out her Blood Sword!

Suddenly, the wind ragged and the phantom Blood Sword chasing Hua Qiyue slowed down. Spiritual Qi from the surroundings was condensed in the hands of Hua Qiyue, forming a green bulb of light!

"Dragon Diagram! Her Qi Art was of the lower Dragon Diagram Standard! How did Hua Qiyue suddenly know Qi Art?!"

"Oh my G.o.d! Lower Dragon Diagram Standard!"

"Such a strong and sly woman! Her rumored uselessness and l.u.s.ty nature must be a smokescreen to hide her true nature!"

"Another genius in Changjing Kingdom! A Qi Artist of Lower Dragon Diagram Standard at only 18 years old!"

The exclamations were shattered by the strong wind. The light sphere in Hua Qiyue's hand enlarged as she collected all the Spiritual Qi around her. "Disperse!"

Hua Qiyue commended as the light sphere dispersed and fell like green light that had descended from the sky, dyeing everyone light green!

Screams of exclamation were all around!

The green light screamed and formed a large sword, piercing coldly towards the phantom Blood Sword!
