Imperial Treasure

Chapter 467 - 316: Martial Arts, Another Form

Sui Yi did not recognize this person, but she felt that the individual seemed particularly interested in her...no, the feelings were more akin to hostility and murderous intent.

The person recognized her.

Could it be that Anayi had mentioned her to him?

Sui Yi was suspicious but didn’t pay much attention to him, just watching as they walked into the venue...

They did not approach the seats here, but once they stood still, the man spoke, "Ge Wu... why martial?"

He stared at Sui Yi, the corners of his mouth turning up with a distinctly nefarious air, "I indeed want to experience your martial prowess."

There was definitely hostility!

Most of the students were naive, but they also felt that something about this situation seemed off; some of the officials seated there, it seemed, had tacitly agreed to remain silent as if they were dead.

If you said they hadn’t been informed, who would believe that!

In the strange silence, suddenly a voice came from one side.

"Don’t talk of martial matters during peaceful times, let’s just switch the form."

Yi Chilian had been silent all this while, quiet and low-key as though a serene lotus pond, but no one could ignore his presence.

Sui Yi noticed that people from either the Yun Family or the Yhan Family would often glance at him while speaking.

Little Lotus Village... she suddenly remembered that its location was rather peculiar.

The people living there could hardly be ordinary...

At that moment, Yi Chilian seemed to exude an aura of neither good nor evil, casual, and almost nobody noticed she had a connection with him.

Probably only Gong Jiu and Jiang Yunxiu knew.

"What form do you propose, Teacher Yi?" Yhan Yun was oh so polite.

Yi Chilian seemed to think for a moment before he responded, "Tennis."

Tennis?!!!

This answer made many in the audience, used to fighting and bloodshed, catch their breath.

Then Eastern, who had been watching the drama unfold, asked Sui Yi, "What ball?"

Sui Yi coolly replied, "The yellow one."

Yellow my foot!

Gong Jiu and others were exasperated, though Handsome Tang couldn’t help but laugh despite the tense nerves.

But, it seemed no one had objections.

After all, they too felt that it wasn’t quite appropriate to start a brawl and spill blood in front of so many civilians and students.

So, it was settled!

A deeply official-looking middle-aged man stood up, smiling, "Playing tennis, huh? This activity is good, also a part of sports culture.... We really didn’t think this through earlier, students, what do you think?"

"Great!" The students were eager for more excitement.

So, a large crowd quickly shifted the venue, with Sui Yi following at a relaxed pace, somewhat overshadowed by others for a while...

The stadium was just next door, and upon entering, they found that the tennis courts seemed already prepared, each stocked with baskets of tennis balls and several rackets.

Sui Yi unconsciously looked towards Yi Chilian.

To say it was a miscalculation of plans was, in fact, as if everything had been arranged in advance...

How could she describe this perfect coincidence?

——————

"Since the martial challenge is playing tennis, what about the singing part! Sui Yi... you should sing a song to liven things up!" Junyan seemed truly relentless.

Intending to embarrass Sui Yi once, she paused in her steps and looked at Junyan in front of her.

The man smiled unreservedly.

Indeed, without Yin’s concern, what did he have to fear!

The Yun Family was so powerful...

Sui Yi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, her fingers coming together, a faint cold light flickering—

"Singing performances should really belong to those in the showbiz, shouldn’t they..."

A quiet voice interjected, causing Sui Yi to turn her head. Qinghan walked in, "Although I only act, I do know a song or two. Miss Sui, would you mind if I take your place for this one?"

Gong Jiu was initially irritated by Junyan bringing up the subject, but upon seeing Qinghan coming to Sui Yi’s rescue, she suddenly took a liking to her.

And Qinghan’s agent behind her turned green, clearly unaware of Qinghan’s plan.

Previously, she really wasn’t too fond of celebrities from the show business, but now...

If Qinghan was foolish, that would truly be from the heart.

If she wasn’t foolish and had a motive, she would understand the consequences of offending the Yun Family, but still proceeded. It at least proved that she believed in their group of people.

So...

Gong Jiu was eager to agree, yet heard...

"The things I don’t want to do, no one in this world can force me," Sui Yi uttered a chilling sentence, then looked towards Junyan; "Why not kill an ant, simply because it hasn’t reached the itchy spot yet, but it will become annoying."

The implication was... I’m already annoyed, Young Master Yun.

Having said that, she glanced at Qinghan, turned around...

Gong Jiu laughed, patting the stunned Junyan’s cheek, "You’ve really become foolish from all that studying. Even your father doesn’t dare to confront her directly, and you... you really think incapacitating Yun Li was easy, killing Yun Junyan wouldn’t be?"

"Don’t you know that killing can become a habit?"

After laughing, she turned to Qinghan with a raised eyebrow, "Miss Pu, right? We’ll remember what you just did... Don’t worry, from now on, you are under the protection of the Palace Family! If the Yun Family dares touch you... the old lady will chop off their claws! Gong Jiu says what she does!"

Not many students were nearby, but Qinghan and her agent saw everything clearly. It suddenly dawned on them that the circle they were dealing with was not just wealthy people...

But a circle that disregarded the law.

Human life was as cheap as paper.

————————

The tennis court had three smaller fields, the sunlight was warm and bright yet not blinding.

Many people surrounded the tennis court, both inside and out, watching this unexpectedly thrust-upon tennis match.

The main reason for their excitement was that the students realized those people... had staggeringly good looks!

What cool CEOs, beautiful lady bosses, rich young ladies and so on all participated, just like what they usually see in idol dramas.

Surreal, yet it appeared so real before their eyes.

Three small courts naturally could be divided into two groups.

The Yhan Family, Yun Family, Wei Feng and others were on that side, Gong Jiu, Sui Yi and others, the Tang Family on this side.

People quickly gathered at one end of the three small courts, A, B, and C.

Sui Yi glanced and saw Wei Feng on Court A, Yun Xiong from the Yun Family on Court B, and Anayi on Court C.

It could simply be considered that Ghost Teeth, the Yun Family, and the Yhan Family monopolized the courts.

"The Yun Family us, the Yhan Family you, how about that? You wouldn’t mind, would you," Gong Jiu discussed with Tang Hanyan.

Tang Hanyan glanced at her junior, "If you were my age, you’d know that children are more important than any love, let alone a man who betrayed me."

Gong Jiu gave a thumbs up, "That’s exactly what I wanted to hear, so later when I force Yhan Kong off the court, you go up!"

"..."

A young man from the Tang Family, Tang Yu, who had always been very fond of Yhan Qingwan and was extremely good at tennis and not weak in Inner Strength, was matched up with Gong Jiu, who was of the same generation, though just slightly weaker in Inner Strength. He naturally wanted to use his skills to win the match!

Because he had already noticed from the way Anayi held her tennis racket that she was a beginner.

Then it was Gong Jiu’s turn... the one dealing with Yun Xiong—Gong Jiu!

She had long wanted to make a move, and no one could stop her! Not even Flower Demon.

"Let her go, isn’t she good at tennis?" Sui Yi said indifferently.

"Why don’t you go... With you, it’d be a point per minute, right!" Flower Demon had already idolized Sui Yi.

"I can’t."

"..."

Eastern Lady laughed, "That’s perfect, none of us know how, just watch and learn..."

Watch and learn, such a casually indifferent tone.

Flower Demon actually hadn’t witnessed how formidable Eastern Lady was yet, only knew she was as mysterious as Jiang Chenyu but even more dangerous...

She looked dangerously beautiful.

Her aura was also very strong.

The one dealing with Wei Feng was not from Sui Yi’s group but a chilly young man next to Yi Chilian.

It seemed like they had specifically come for Wei Feng and the others.

"I know who they are," Flower Demon suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

"Extreme Path Alliance."

"What?"

"You know the official Martial Arts Logistics Department, right? That’s official Martial Arts Power, but outside the official circles, the strongest still are the Martial Arts Alliance and the Extreme Path Alliance, the Martial Arts Alliance broadly signifies the overall alliance of our Martial Arts Circle, the Extreme Path Alliance is more narrow, just an organization formed by some hidden sects, and that young man should be Luo Xiuxian from the Flying Feather Sword of the Mount Hua Sword Pavilion, and that woman seems so too, named Rui Ziling, I saw their information on the Martial Arts Alliance’s official website..."

Why does this description sound so awkward, Sui Yi still might understand it, the Eastern Lady just...

Mount Hua, Sword Pavilion?

"I know about the Mount Hua Sect, never heard of some Mount Hua Sword Pavilion," Eastern Lady’s remark made both Sui Yi turn to look at her.

"Mount Hua Sect... That’s where Linghu Chong resides... You watch that kind of drama too?" Flower Demon joked.

"Yeah, poorly filmed," said Eastern Lady, eyes downcast, revealing a profound depth.

Sui Yi glanced at her, saying nothing.

A drama? What had Cangwu really done, a shift in time and space...

Luo Xiuxian had already entered the court, and it must be said, whether it was Luo Xiuxian and Wei Feng or Gong Jiu and Anayi, they all attracted attention with their good looks as soon as they entered the court...

Grabbing the racket and picking up a tennis ball, Sui Yi initially thought people from sects shouldn’t be playing such games, but then...

Whack!

A very beautiful lob volleyed perfectly, landing just a tad ahead of the line at the back.

Martial Artists, experts in the control of power!

However... Wei Feng stepped back, swung his arm...

Whack!

The moment the ball bounced up, he counterattacked!

The ball soared high into the air...

Thump!

On Court B, a ball had already smashed firmly against Yun Xiong’s face~~

And on Court C, a ball... flew out of the court.

Tang Yu stared blankly at his own missing racket...

The Tang family’s side was bustling.

What just happened!

That ball...

"The ball’s direction was altered,"

Sui Yi said lightly, Flower Demon surprised, "That woman doesn’t seem to be very good at tennis..."

"But she can control Flying Ants."

"Huh?"

Flower Demon strained to see... and sure enough, he spotted many tiny ants in the air, hard to see with the naked eye in the sunlight...

Freak!

Who the hell plays tennis like that!

No wonder Tang Yu couldn’t return a single ball.

Soon, Court B and C presented a stark contrast, with Gong Jiu absolutely dominating with her skills and power over the person from the Yun Family, the opposite for Anayi, Handsome Tang was terribly bullied, causing many female university students to scream incessantly...(To be continued.
