The immense pressure overwhelmed Master Takedera, forcing him to kneel with a âthud.â
His head, out of his control, began to bang against the floor repeatedly, unable to stop.
The disciple was dumbfounded. âMasterâ¦â
By the seventeenth kowtow, Master Takedera finally regained control of his body, but his head was already battered and bleeding, leaving him too weak to stand.
He lay on the ground, his mind buzzing, and fear gripped his heart like a cold serpent.
âYou can do whatever you want, but you shouldnât use my name to deceive others,â Si Fuqing said coolly. âToday, Iâll ruin your business, destroy your cultivation, and strip you of your Yin-Yang and Five Elements power.â
âDo you submit or not?â
âI submit! I submit!â Master Takedera began kowtowing again, this time out of sheer terror, desperately pleading, âSpare my life! I wonât dare anymore. Please, spare me!â
No one had ever seen Yu Wuâs true face.
But everyone believed he was an elder who had lived for centuries; otherwise, how could he have defeated three hundred Masters of Yin-Yang of the Fujisan family?
Master Takedera had made a fortune using the name of Yu Wuâs disciple. Although he had caused deaths due to his lack of skill, his victimsâ families always believed it was because their loved onesâ conditions were incurable.
Over time, Master Takedera had grown arrogant.
The Beino family offered him five million to treat their matriarch, an opportunity he couldnât pass up.
He never expected to encounter Yu Wu herself while pretending to be her disciple!
And even more unbelievable, Yu Wu was a young girl?!
Isnât this like rubbing the Fuji familyâs face in the dirt?
The Beino family was stunned.
The old man was even more excited. âMadam, see? I wasnât wrong. Her powers are extraordinary!â
Madam Beino was dumbfounded. âShe truly is a master.â
The Beino family wasnât significant in Eastern Mulberry, merely a wealthy household unable to hire a Master of Yin-Yang from the four great families.
The matriarchâs illness had left the old man helpless. Hearing that Master Takedera was Yu Wuâs disciple, they had paid a high price to invite him.
Even the old man hadnât expected to randomly encounter the legendary Yu Wu on the way.
Master Takedera tried to stand but was too injured and had lost his cultivation. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before passing out.
The disciple also fainted from fear.
JI Xingzhi kicked them out one by one. âIf I see you again, Iâll make sure you disappear!â
Si Fuqing stepped forward to examine the Beino matriarchâs condition, speaking lightly, âIndeed, itâs an evil spirit infestation from three days ago. Your matriarch went somewhere she shouldnât have.â
Elderly, children, and women have more Yin energy in their bodies. Given the many wandering spirits in Eastern Mulberry, they shouldnât visit cemeteries or places like Blue Dragon Tomb.
Madam Beino was visibly shocked. âMaster, youâre right. It happened three days ago.â
JI Xingzhi immediately offered, âIâll handle this; no need to trouble my big brother.â
Madam Beino was bewildered, her expression dazed. âDoes the master have a penchant for cross-dressing?â
Si Fuqing was speechless.
Her face darkened as she kicked JI Xingzhi.
âOuch,â JI Xingzhi yelped. âItâs a term of respect!â
The treatment proceeded smoothly. With one talisman, JI Xingzhi restored the Beino matriarch to normal.
Madam Beino wept with joy. âThank you, masters. Thank you, Lord Yu Wu. Please, Lord Yu Wu, stay so we can prepare a grand gift.â
âNo need. We save lives; you pay us. Weâre even,â Si Fuqing said indifferently. âRemember to cut down the locust tree at your door. Weâll meet again if fate allows.â
JI Xingzhiâs mouth twitched.
There was no such thing as fate; it was just about money.
However, this reminded him that he planned to set up a stall in the city center tomorrow to earn some money.
He followed Si Fuqing. âBig brother, your strength has recovered a lot.â
âYes,â Si Fuqing flexed her wrist. âBut not enough. I came to Eastern Mulberry to kill someone, and Iâm still a bit short.â
JI Xingzhi was startled. âWho?â
âFujisan Shinya,â Si Fuqing said calmly.
âThe main culprit who helped the Zuo family steal your luck? He seems to be in seclusion.â
âYes, go find out,â Si Fuqing said. âHe should be coming out soon.â
âNo problem, Iâll scout the Fujisan family for information.â JI Xingzhi sneered. âOne by one, they wonât escape.â
**
The next day.
The first match of the Five States team arrived.
The Peak team, from Eastern Mulberry, was as popular at home as the Five States team. The audience turnout was substantial.
The live global viewership reached five hundred million, proving the universal appeal of the game.
[The Five States teamâs luck isnât great or terrible. The Peak team has developed well this year, recruiting some good talents. Itâs a close match.]
[Si Fuqing is still a starting player. If the Five States team loses again, the morale of our Great Xia will hit rock bottom.]
[I donât understand their strategy. Why arenât Jing Zhou and Jiang Changfeng playing? Theyâre guaranteed to lose.]
[Si Fuqing plays a healer, a support role. Seems like the team wants to rely on luck.]
The lineup of the Five States team puzzled the Peak team.
They had tactics specifically for Jing Zhou and Jiang Changfeng, but neither was present today.
Of course, they recognized Si Fuqing.
The spokesperson for Oracle.
A strong gamer among celebrities, but still a bit lacking compared to top ten global teams.
They were confident in their victory.
Si Fuqing put on her headphones, fingers poised on the keyboard, her steady voice reaching every team member. âDonât be afraid. Iâm here.â
The team was filled with fighting spirit.
They werenât alone in this battle.
The Peak team was indeed strong. In one team fight, due to a memberâs mistake, only Si Fuqingâs healer remained standing after two seconds.
The audience gasped.
[Why didnât they let Jing Zhou and Jiang Changfeng play? One of them might have wiped out the enemy team.]
[Si Fuqing is playing a healer. Itâs over. No point watching.]
The team was panicking. âMiss Si, Iâ¦â
Si Fuqing remained calm. âLeave it to me.â
On screen, the healer moved, dodging three attacks in a split second and killing two opponents.
One kill.
Two kills!
The next moment, the healerâs flute flew out, piercing the third opponentâs chest.
âOh my god, a triple kill!â The commentator paused, then spoke rapidly in excitement. âYes, everyone saw correctly. A healer, a support role, can fight like an assassin. Our Oracle spokesperson is incredible, truly on par with professional players.â
The atmosphere in the venue instantly heated up, with some audience members jumping up in excitement.
[Wow! Our beloved Qingqingâs hands have healed! Iâm moved to tears!]
Si Fuqingâs fans didnât care about her ranking, only about her hands.
Seeing her perform such high-speed moves proved her full recovery, making them very happy.
Esports fans were also amazed.
[A triple kill. Iâm shocked! Is this the first triple kill in this yearâs OPL?]
[Yes, even Kill didnât get one. Si Fuqingâs control is better.]
[No, wait. A quadra kill!]
[Hold on! Could she be aiming forâ¦]
At this moment, everyone stared intently at the screen.
âBoom!â
The last playerâs health bar on the Peak team vanished.
A pentakill!
