    “In the first battle of the finals, Lou Qianxue had killed Lou Qianyue without even using any martial techniques.”


    “In the second, Ye Zhuixun had shown that he understood the Storm Fist Intent!”


    “The first two battles were so exciting, so the third will be exciting as well!”


    “I heard that Lou Xingchen had wanted to challenge Mo Ruhuan during the Prefectural Governor’s banquet, but just when she had mustered up enough courage for the challenge, Mo Ruhuan had announced that he would not ept any challenge.”


    “Everyone had felt that it was a pity. Nevertheless, they are finally meeting again today!”


    “I wonder who is stronger of the two?”


    The crowd expectantly looked at the ring.


    On the ring, Lou Xingchen’s cold and beautiful face held an arrogant gaze as she looked at Mo Ruhuan. “You can concede defeat yourself.”


    The young expert who was invited by the Mo family was simrly arrogant. “You think you’re worthy of that?”


    A murderous intent swept past Lou Xingchen’s face. “You’re seeking death!”


    Lou Qianxue also stared at Lou Xingchen.


    She wanted to see how much Lou Xingchen had progressed during thest month...


    While everyone was staring at the ring, an ordinary middle-aged man walked to Ye Zhuixun’s side and said, “Young Master Ye, I would like to have a word with you.”


    “Who are you?”


    The middle-aged man gave an irrelevant answer. “If you’re unwilling, I don’t mind chatting with your senior.”


    Ye Zhuixun’s expression changed, and he said, “Let’s go.”


    The two of them walked to a remote ce, then the middle-aged man stopped and turned around. He took out a stack of silver notes from his arms.


    “My Master admires you a lot and is willing to support and provide funding for you. He’s even willing to help you be the City Lord of Qingyun City.”


    Ye Zhuixun sneered. “I have never believed that there is such a thing as a free lunch in this world.”


    “You’re right. As long as you concede in thepetitionter, I’ll fulfill everything that I have promised you.”


    Ye Zhuixun frowned. “Did the Prefectural Governor ask you toe and look for me?”


    With Lou Qianxue’s character, he knew that she wouldn’t do it. After all, Lou Qianxue was even unafraid of Master Yan. So why would she be afraid of him?


    He just did not expect Lou Xingchen, who was once the top expert of Qingyun City, to do such a despicable thing!


    “We have checked your background. You were born into a small family. Your family is too small, and they can’t control Qingyun City. They don’t even dare to fight for power with the Lou family. Even if they know that your cultivation is high, they are still unwilling to let you participate in the Prefecturalpetition.


    “This is ten million taels, enough for your small family to have afortable life for decades. Moreover, besides supporting you to be the City Lord of Qingyun City, the Prefectural Governor will also provide resources for your cultivation. Since this is the case, why won’t you want to concede?”


    Ye Zhuixun replied, “Go back and tell the Prefectural Governor that I, Ye Zhuixun, will earn what I want myself!”


    “You! Ye Zhuixun, are you certain that you won’t reconsider? The Prefectural Governor has said that as long as you’re willing to admit defeat, he can give you whatever you want.”


    A sneer appeared on Ye Zhuixun’s face, and a deep pain shed past his eyes. “Is it? It’s a pity that he’s unable to give me what I want.”


    With that, Ye Zhuixun turned around and left.


    The middle-aged man became infuriated. “Ye Zhuixun, it seems like you want to do this the hard way! You think that by asking you to admit defeat, we are afraid of you?”


    Ye Zhuixun turned a deaf ear to these words and strode forward.


    His whole family had objected to him taking part in the Prefecturalpetition, yet he hadn’t given up. So why would he stop now?


    As Ye Zhuixun returned to thepetition area, he heard the crowd’s shouts.


    “So swift! Lou Xingchen’s sword moves are so swift. Her sword skills are so advanced!”


    “Oh my god, Mo Ruhuan, who’s at the ninth level of the Spiritual realm can’t withstand Lou Xingchen, who’s a level lower?”


    “Lou Xingchen is impressive! The third round of the finals is indeed exciting!”


    The crowd was agitated.


    In contrast, Lou Qianxue’s gaze was gloomy and her fists were clenched because Lou Xingchen was using the Mountain River Sword Technique.
