Every person in the crowd was terrified. However, their pride stopped them from retreating, and they glared at the five men.
Even Lou Qianxue’s expression darkened.
With a grim look, Lou Xiaoxiao moved closer to Lou Qianxue. “Qianxue, they look quite powerful.”
“Mystic Martial realm.” After answering her, Lou Qianxue paused for a while. She then coldly said, “Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao. I won’t let them hurt you.”
As she spoke, she scanned the people who wanted to kill them all.
She did not care if they touched other people. However, if they dared to touch Lou Xiaoxiao, Ye Zhuixun, or Gong Sunheng, she would kill them.
Hong Qinghe, who was prepared to attack, became hesitant after hearing what the man said.
He could feel that the five of them were stronger than him!
However, he could not forget what the man said—if he lost, they would kill everyone.
If he attacked, everyone’s lives would depend on him.
This was a burden he could not shoulder!
Hong Qinghe remained still for a long time.
Everyone became scared.
The man who had provoked them earlier burst out into mocking laughter. “Fengyang prefecture’s genius! The strongest individual amongst Fengyang prefecture’s youths! What nonsense! You’re just the biggest joke in the world!”
As he gripped the black ruler, Hong Qinghe’s expression darkened and the veins throbbed in his forehead.
“Hong Qinghe, if you don’t dare to attack, call up the second and third strongest individual in Fengyang prefecture. I can fight three people alone. As for the others? Hmph! They aren’t worthy enough to be my opponent!”
Yang Feng, who had fainted earlier, had just regained his consciousness. When he heard these words, he confusedly looked at Mu Wuxin. “What opponent? What happened?”
Mu Wuxin looked at Hong Qinghe with a solemn expression.
Hong Qinghe gritted his teeth and nodded at him.
Mu Wuxin took a pill out of his pocket. “Young Master Feng, this pill is a very rare fourth-grade pill. If the three of us did not have to join forces to defeat that aggressive man, I’d be reluctant to give it to you.”
Before Yang Feng could understand what was going on, someone shoved a pill at him. Without checking anything, he swallowed it.
Warmth gushed through his body and spread across his limbs. Most of the injuries on his body also healed.
“How effective! Wuxin, what medicine is this.” Yang Feng wanted to ask him when Mu Wuxin pulled him up. “I’ll tell you later. Now, the three of us need to defeat him.”
Mu Wuxin pointed at the man who had spoken earlier.
Yang Feng finally regained his senses. “What do you mean? The three of us?”
Mu Wuxin quickly explained everything to him.
When Yang Feng heard the explanation, he almost exploded in anger. “What? How dare he act so outrageous in Fengyang prefecture and look down on us! How despicable! Brother Hong, Wuxin, you don’t need to fight. I alone can—”
“Young Master Feng,” Hong Qinghe earnestly interrupted him, “People have already died. If we lose, he’ll kill all of us here.”
“…” Yang Feng fell silent for a while, then nodded. “I’ll listen to you, Brother Hong.”
When the crowd saw that the three of them were planning to join forces, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Young Master Qinghe, Young Master Feng, and Young Master Wuxin. If the top three from last year’s Fenghua Banquet attack together, they will be unbeatable! They can definitely chase away those bastards!”
“Yeah.”
“Do your best, Young Master Qinghe. We are rooting for you!”
“Young Master Feng, if you win, I’ll have your child!” a woman in the crowd boldly declared her love.
The atmosphere in the venue was significantly relaxed.
However, the man who had challenged the three of them scoffed. “Hong Qinghe and the rest, remember! The person who is about to defeat you is called Fang Wenyang from the royal palace’s Imperial Academy!”
As he spoke, his expression darkened. “Hmph! The royal palace just built an academy, and people are comparing you ants from the Fengyang prefecture with us geniuses in the royal palace! Today, I’ll let the entire world know that the so-called geniuses in Fengyang prefecture are nothing before the royal palace’s geniuses. You can’t even take a hit!”
