Chapter 100

"Quite an exciting match..." Mu Qingsnow replied, seemingly off-topic.

Ma Pi was taken aback. Was that a response or not? But seeing her indifferent expression, Ma Pi didn't have the courage to press further.

"I didn't expect Feng Yingruo to be here as well," she added, then her beautiful eyes fixed on a corner of the right stand in the martial arts hall, her lips curving slightly upward in a small arc, lost in thought.

Following her gaze, Ma Pi stretched his neck to look, and finally scratched his head.

After Nongping High School lost the match, the home crowd was dejected, each one hanging their heads, eager to leave the venue as soon as possible. So, the place was in chaos, and Ma Pi couldn't spot where the goddess Feng Yingruo was hiding.

Unable to resist, he asked, "Miss Mu, how come I can't see her?"

Mu Qingsnow frowned slightly and replied indifferently, "The one wearing the blue mask."

With this clue, Ma Pi focused his gaze and indeed saw, in the crowd, a tall and beautiful woman wearing a blue mask and a sportswear outfit, quietly leaving the venue under the protection of a few people.

Her height, hairstyle, and fiery figure indeed bore a resemblance. If you added the shadow-like female bodyguards by her side, Ma Pi was almost certain that it must be Feng Yingruo.

Thus, he said with a hint of jealousy, "It seems she still cares a lot about Nanling High School's performance."

Mu Qingsnow didn't pay attention to what Ma Pi said but muttered to herself, "I wonder how long the Feng family could last if their only legitimate heir were to have an accident... half a month? A month?"

Ma Pi was startled. Mu Qingsnow was really ruthless!

Indeed, they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Although the Ma family coveted the Feng family's status and wanted to replace them, they hadn't thought of eliminating Feng Yingruo.

However, her idea was the most feasible. Currently, the Feng family had two pillars.

One was Feng Yingkong, who had been in seclusion. He was like a stabilizing force for the Feng family. As long as he was around, the Feng family would remain unshaken. However, as his seclusion dragged on, many people gradually forgot his existence or didn't feel his presence as strongly.

The other was Feng Yingruo. Despite being a high school student, she was the only legitimate heir of the Feng family and possessed extraordinary potential. This gave the declining Feng family a mysterious cohesion.

With Feng Yingkong still in seclusion, Feng Yingruo became the sole pillar.

If something were to happen to Feng Yingruo, it would be a fatal blow to the Feng family.

However, after Mu Qingsnow finished speaking, she didn't say anything more, so Ma Pi didn't press further.

After all, eliminating Feng Yingruo was definitely not the Ma family's first choice.

The Feng family had become a symbol in the Haixi region. According to the old man's idea, the best strategy was to have Feng Yingkong agree to Ma Pi marrying Feng Yingruo, allowing the Ma family to take over the Feng family's assets without a fight.

The second-best strategy was to drain the Feng family's resources, forcing Feng Yingruo into marriage, and then taking over their territory.

The worst strategy was to manipulate Feng Yingruo, draining the Feng family's resources while keeping her on a pedestal but not allowing her to interfere in anything.

Ma Pi preferred the second or best strategy because that way, he could have Feng Yingruo.

However, the Ma family's plans were just that—the Zhong and Mu families weren't there to be their lackeys, and the old man's three ideas might not come to fruition at all.

Ning Yi took the towel Chen Liu handed him and wiped the sweat from his face. Today, his opponent was a late-stage Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer practitioner. The guy was arrogant, spewing all sorts of insults from the start, probably under someone's orders.

So Ning Yi didn't hold back. Instead of knocking him out with one punch, he deliberately played with him, engaging in a prolonged battle for over twenty minutes, earning a total of 10 energy points from him.

The opponent almost crawled off the stage.

After four matches, Ning Yi had earned 25 energy points, bringing his total to 100, which was exactly enough for the mid-stage Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

Becoming a formal martial artist was still a long way off.

Of course, for others, this was already an incredible speed.

To celebrate today's victory, Captain Li Jiawei decided to treat everyone to a meal.

Surprisingly, Gu Ying and Yang Yu were also invited. Ning Yi learned that Yang Yu's residence was not far from Gu Ying's house.

However, her house was rented, and the Yang family's mansion was not in the city. She had chosen a neighborhood close to the base for work convenience.

Halfway through the meal, Yang Yu smacked her lips, saying the restaurant's food wasn't as good as Ning Yi's.

Hearing this, Gu Ying smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, since there's an empty room in my house, why don't you move in? That way, you can eat Ning Yi's cooking every day."

"Sounds great!" Yang Yu immediately agreed.

Ning Yi was taken aback, looking at the two beautiful women who had made this decision without consulting him. He thought, "Did you even ask how I feel about this?"

What made Ning Yi even more speechless was that right after the meal, Yang Yu dragged Ning Yi and Chen Liu to help her move.

The efficiency was so high that Ning Yi couldn't believe it.

What was even more terrifying was the sheer amount and weight of Yang Yu's belongings.

A pair of "dumbbells" that weighed sixty pounds each—Ning Yi wasn't sure if that was the right term.

An arm exerciser, a collision training machine, her forty-two-pound Xuanbing Blade, protective scales, a first-aid kit...

Ning Yi seriously doubted whether the room Gu Ying had allocated to her could fit all of it.

However, to his surprise, it just barely fit. But with so many things, her room was far from being a cozy boudoir, especially compared to Gu Ying's room.

If the doors to both rooms were open, it would be like... well, beauty and the beast!

After everything was settled, Ning Yi sent off Chen Liu and Gu Ying, thinking that his chance to go grind points tonight was ruined.

But then he thought, there was always tomorrow. It was the weekend, and there would be plenty of opportunities.

He grabbed his clothes, ready to take a shower and go to bed, but found the bathroom already occupied, with the sound of water splashing, making him feel a bit itchy inside.

Gu Ying had something to do at school tonight and would shower in her own bedroom's en suite bathroom, so it was clear who was in the bathroom.

The bathroom door was frosted, so when someone was showering, the light would sometimes cast a faint, blurry shadow outside. Although it wasn't clear, if you used your imagination...

Ning Yi glanced over and, sure enough, due to the angle or Yang Yu's considerable height, he could see her movements being projected by the light.

Her beautiful hands seemed to be massaging her ample chest...

Ning Yi's eyes couldn't help but linger. She really had a lot of "material."

Just as he was lost in thought, a shrill ringtone startled him. He felt guilty, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

He turned his head and saw that it was Yang Yu's phone ringing, which was in the bedroom.

"Hey, Ning Yi... can you bring my phone over?" Yang Yu suddenly called from the bathroom.
