As the Martial Arts Circle Convention drew closer, more and more martial artists gathered in the capital. The inns were already filled with martial artists.?In reality, the real Martial Arts Circle Convention was not held in the capital, but in Ethereal Peak, which was far away from the capital. This peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the terrain was precipitous. Only after the martial arts tournament held in the capital had selected ten martial arts prodigies would these ten people head to Ethereal Peak to have a showdown and choose the current Martial Arts League Master.
In Maple Feather Pavilion.
"The capital is getting more and more lively.”Perhaps it was because of Li Yuxuan, but Murong Ling had not gone out for a long time. Now that she saw that there were more and more martial artists in the capital, she wanted to go out and see what was happening.
"If you want to go, go. I want to stay in my room and study my new medicine.”Nangong Luobing was currently studying some herbs.
"Aiya, sister Luo Bing, aren't you tired of fiddling with your herbs all day?”Murong Ling tugged at her clothes and acted coquettishly.
"Ling 'er, you don't have to pull me. How about this? I'll lend Wan' er to you. You can bring her out for a walk. She's a little bored by my side all day.”Nangong Luobing said without raising his head.
"Miss, Wan 'er is never bored.”
"Alright, go and wander around with Ling 'er! You haven't visited the capital since you left the valley, have you?”Nangong Luo Bing raised her head from the herbs and smiled at Nangong Wan 'er.
Nangong Wan 'er hesitated. She had been following Nangong Luo Bing all this time and had never left her side. Murong Ling pulled her out of the room. By the time she regained her senses, she had already left the room. She sighed and followed Murong Ling.
"Should we ask Miss Ruoyu?" Nangong Wan 'er reminded Murong Ling.
"I've asked. Sister Yu has been quite busy recently, so she won't be going. However, Anu said that he would go with her. It's been a long time since I last saw him, and I miss him very much.”Murong Ling pulled Nangong Wan 'er towards the main entrance. When she raised her head, she saw Nu Ting, who was already waiting anxiously at the entrance.
"Girl, why are you guys so slow?”Anu complained when he saw the two of them walk in.
"Hmph, so what if you wait?" Murong Ling saw that he seemed to have a thorn in her flesh again and forgot that she had said that she missed him just now.
"Alright, alright, let's go. I heard that the streets are very lively today.”
"How did you know?" Murong Ling's interest was piqued when she heard his words.
"Let's go. We'll talk as we go."
It turned out to be those martial artists. Before the Martial Arts Circle Convention even began, some people had already started setting up arenas for martial arts competitions. There were even people who placed bets and gambled. The people of the capital were all watching the show.
Murong Ling and the other two were around the same age. Murong Ling and Ah Nu were people who liked to join in the fun. Although Nangong Wan 'er was usually gentle and pleasant, she was still too young and had a curious heart in her bones. Following Murong Ling and Ah Nu had even unearthed the playful heart hidden deep in her bones.
The three of them each held some snacks in their hands and squeezed to the side of the ring. They finally squeezed in, only to realize that the snacks had fallen. However, they did not care because the fight on the ring had already begun.
The person on the stage was a man holding a meteor hammer. He was very strong and looked very fierce. The other person was very small. He was not tall and was relatively thin, but his eyes were very shrewd. The rod in his hand also stopped many parts of the burly man.
It was a heated battle on the stage, and the audience was also shouting fervently. Those who had money shouted the name of the party they had bet on, and those who had no money just watched the show.
Just as Murong Ling and the others were enjoying the show, a voice came from the side.
"Sigh, this burly man is extremely fierce. He might not be a match for that kid.”A middle-aged man said with pity.
"Oh, how is that possible? Although that kid's skill is not bad, his lower body is unstable. It's easy for that burly man to lose the momentum with one hammer strike.”Another person also joined in.
"Humph, look at that big man's slow movements. Many of his flaws have been discovered by that kid, and he can be dealt with one stick.”The middle-aged man pointed out another point.
"..." The two quarreled endlessly. However, the bystanders felt that they were quarreling so much that they could not let the martial arts competition in their stands continue, so they pushed the two of them out of the crowd.
"Anu, what's going on?”Nangong Wan 'er didn't understand why the people on the stage were still fighting, but the people below the stage had already started quarreling.
"This, I'm afraid the people from the gambling den are here to tempt people.”Anu chuckled.
"Oh, where do I start?" Nangong Wan 'er was even more confused. Murong Ling also revealed a look of surprise.
"Listen to those two people's words. They're trying their best to say who will win. They're deliberately saying it for the people watching the game to hear so that they can place their bets. In fact, they usually said the opposite, deceiving some commoners who did not know martial arts. However, today's luck seemed to be a little bad, allowing the people of the two families to stand together.”When Anu finished speaking, the other two smiled. When the commoners beside him heard this, they nodded repeatedly, thinking that they would not be fooled next time.
"Anu, I didn't expect you to know so much.”Murong Ling winked at him.
"That's right. Look over there. Those people who are quietly watching the competition must be the ones who are going to compete. They are all in the stands trying to come up with countermeasures.”Anu pointed at a few people further away from them.
Murong Ling and Nangong Wan 'er looked over and nodded in agreement. However, they lost interest when they saw the fight on the stage. The people on the stage were all little rookies. How could a true expert appear here? Moreover, the three of them were good at martial arts. After the excitement just now, they left the crowd.
"Anu, do you think the government doesn't care that the people from the gambling dens are earning so much money from the Martial Arts Circle Convention?”Nangong Wan 'er was more experienced in the world after all, and she had considered things more thoroughly. The capital was the royal family's territory, and it was already inconceivable that the Martial Arts Circle Convention would be held in the capital. It was truly inconceivable that the gambling dens would be able to make such huge profits.
"Wan 'er, you're really smart. Of course, the government didn't care, because the real mastermind was the government.”Anu whispered the truth.
"What?" Murong Ling and Nangong Wan 'er were both shocked.
They all knew that according to the law of the Moon Dynasty, officials were not allowed to enter the gambling dens. Even at home, they were not allowed to have gambling dens. If they were caught, it would be very strict.
"Many of the bosses behind the gambling dens are people from the government. Moreover, there's a 'big shot' who's holding the Martial Arts Circle Convention this time. Who do you think would dare to interfere so easily?”Anu was hinting at something.
"You mean Zhang Zhongshou?" Murong Ling pointed out the crux of the matter with a single glance. Murong Ling was smart to begin with, but she was usually innocent and kind, making people think that she was easy to fool. However, when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she would immediately think of the crux.
Anu didn't say anything. He just nodded in agreement.
? The other two people only needed to think about it to realize how powerful this matter was. Zhang Zhongshou and Ouyang Xiong were colluding, and the Martial Arts Circle Convention was being held in his territory. He naturally had to seize the opportunity to make a fortune. However, she hoped that he only wanted to earn money at the moment. If he had other motives, it would not be good.
"But, didn't the emperor notice?”Nangong Wan 'er asked again.
"Although the person in charge of this year's Martial Arts Circle Convention is still Zhang Zhongshou, the Emperor has sent another Seventh Prince to assist him.”
"I see." Nangong Wan 'er nodded.
At the mention of Li Yuxuan, the three of them saw his figure on the opposite side.
