Chapter 74 There Is Win and There Is Loss

Dugu Haoyu was relieved, and the matter was finally over.

Dugu Lengying said suddenly, "We didn't watch the sunrise. Brother put me in a sack. I had been shouting inside for a long time, begging him to let me out, but he turned a deaf ear to me. He has planned everything. Dad, you are so partial. It was very stuffy and narrow in the sack. It was so hard to stay in it. How could you believe that he was taking me to see the sunrise?"

Dugu Lengying was full of anger and didn't let go of Dugu Zhong's clothes.

Zhao Xue hurried forward and grabbed Dugu Lengying's wrist, "The trial will begin soon. Don't bother others here. Go with me right now."

"No way! I won't go if he doesn't give me a good explanation! How could he treat me like this! I did nothing wrong! Let go of my wrist. I don't want to go!"

Dugu Lengying saw that his mother ignored his anger and shouted more loudly, with grievances all over his face.

To be partial to one side was to hurt the other. It was apparent that Zhao Xue and Dugu Zhong both ignored it. They thought Dugu Lengying was still very young and easily under control, so they wanted to fool him around. But they didn't realize that a young child also had the same feeling as the older one. He would be angry if he felt wronged. Seeing the behavior of Dugu Lengying, other people were kind of sympathetic to him as well.

Dugu Zhong was very surprised. It was the first time that he realized that Lengying had his own temper. But he had already spoken such words and just wanted to let things pass as soon as possible. Dugu Zhong grabbed Dugu Lengying and thrust him into Zhao Xue's arms, and said, "Keep an eye on him."

Dugu Lengying struggled even harder, and whatever Zhao Xue said didn't work at all. It was probably that the experience this morning would leave him with a psychological shadow. Zhao Xue was very embarrassed, and she twisted Dugu Lengying's arm and threatened, "Behave!"

Dugu Lengying screamed with pain.

Dugu Muyou couldn't bear it anymore. Those guys not only used their little son, but they beat him for no reason, which was too much. Dugu Muyou stepped forward and pulled Zhao Xue away, protecting Dugu Lengying in her arms.

"This morning, I didn't go out until I heard something outside the window. Then I found that Dugu Haoyu was quite suspicious. He took special pills to run faster and showed up sneakily outside my window, k********g Lengying for purpose. Everyone knows that we are in a good relationship. It was clear that he wanted to lure me into following behind and made me late for the trial."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xue rushed to Dugu Muyou and said, "Our Haoyu wouldn't do that."

"The facts are in front of us," Dugu Muyou said indifferently.

"You don't have any evidence."

"Evidence?" Dugu Muyou suddenly smiled and pointed to Dugu Haoyu.

"The evidence is on him. Just check his body, and you can find the clue. This pill is bad for health. Is it necessary to do such a harmful thing merely to watch the sunrise? Dare you call someone to check it?"

Dugu Zhong noticed that something was wrong and scolded her coldly, "What nonsense! Haoyu has no problem in his body."

"How do you know if you haven't checked it? There are so many guests on the grandstand. Why not let them come here to see?"

After Dugu Muyou finished her words, Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue came here and saluted Dugu Zhong. Hua Qingshui said, "Why not let me try?"

Dugu Zhong's face turned red for a while and then turned pale.

Zhao Xue was flustered and rolled her eyes a few times. Finally, she made up her mind and signaled to Dugu Haoyu again.

Dugu Haoyu knelt to the ground suddenly and said, "That's my fault! I hope Piaopiao's contest can go smoothly today, so I did such a thing. I frightened Lengying. Please punish me, dad."

After listening to these words, many onlookers looked at Dugu Piaopiao and gossiped about her. Dugu Piaopiao was very embarrassed and stood there in anger.

Dugu Zhong got angry suddenly, and he said, "You are so ill-intentioned that you want to harm your sister and brother. You deserve the punishment. You should suffer it after the trial."

Dugu Haoyu trembled a little and said "yes" in a low voice. Since Dugu Zhong had spoken such words, it seemed that Dugu Haoyu couldn't escape from the punishment. When he was thinking of the punishment, he felt a chill came creeping over him.

A long time had passed, and the gate of the Trial Hall had already been closed. Dugu Zhong and others arrived at Ring 1. There was a table with a box for drawing lots on it.

Dugu Zhong stood behind the table and started to announce the rule of the trial.

"Here is the rule of today's trial. Whoever wins two games will be the first. Whoever loses two games first will be eliminated. The remaining two will compete tomorrow. The order is decided by drawing lots. There are two blue lots and one red lot. The two who catch the blue will start first. After that, the winner will compete with the one who got the red lot. If someone is severely injured, he could ask to pause the competition. Now everyone can come forward and draw lots. "

Three contestants came to the table. A wooden box, painted in dark red, was on the table, and there was a rectangular opening on the box. Compared with the lonely lots inside, the box looked rather large.

Dugu Qinglan didn't say anything. She took the lead in grabbing a piece of paper from the wooden box and opened it directly. It was blue.

Dugu Piaopiao stood aside, not interested in drawing the lot. But her sightline was moving, and she glanced at the people in the grandstand from time to time.

Dugu Muyou waited for a while. Seeing Dugu Piaopiao didn't want to draw, she went to the front of the table. She reminded Dugu Piaopiao's previous experience and combined it with what Dugu Zhong said to her. She guessed that she would draw a blue one anyway.

According to the rule, those who came out later had certain advantages, but Dugu Muyou didn't care.

Dugu Piaopiao would lose anyway, no matter how many advantages she had.

Dugu Muyou put her hand into the box, drew randomly and opened it. It was blue as expected.

The last one was Dugu Piaopiao, but she did not need to draw the lot anymore. She took out the last one, and it was a red one.

"All finished. Now, Qinglan and Muyou, please start your contest."

Dugu Zhong signaled to his servant and went down the ring. The servant removed everything away from the ring. Dugu Piaopiao went down as well. There were only two sisters on the ring now, Dugu Qinglan and Dugu Muyou.

Dugu Qinglan frowned slightly, and her young and beautiful face looked kind of worried.

"Muyou, I don't want to match with you so soon, actually."

Dugu Muyou smiled casually and said, "What's the difference between being late or early? The results are the same. I will try my best. Come on."

Dugu Qinglan had thought about it the night before. When Dugu Muyou didn't show up for a long time, she wondered whether it had something to do with herself. But she was worried too much. Dugu Muyou didn't seem to have considered such a thing at all.

"You're right. I have overthought." Dugu Qinglan drew out the spiritual sword on her back. The sword was shining brightly and rotating around her. She said, "Let's start."

Dugu Muyou threw the dagger up and caught it again. It was just a contest, which had nothing to do with the relationship but only about winning or losing.

On the Central Grandstand, Hua Qingyue showed an excited expression and looked in the direction of the ring with great interest. He pulled the sleeves of Hua Qingshui.

"Qingshui, Qingshui, did you see that? A fatalistic duel between sisters. I'm looking forward to it! What should I do? I seem way too excited."

Hua Qingshui gave him a response with a sneer and opened Hua Qingyue's fingers one by one, ignoring this dramatic guy.

Dugu Muyou was playing with her dagger on the ring and said, "Qinglan, there's something I haven't told you. I've advanced to the black rank. "

Dugu Qinglan was slightly surprised and then smiled, "This is a good thing."

On the grandstand, the cheerful Hua Qingyue almost fell from his seat.

"Wait? What? Has she been black rank? "Hua Qingyue shouted out, "When we first met, I, I... I taught her the basic cultivation method! But I'm still in the early stage of the black rank. How can she also reach the black rank now?"

All the people around had the same expression as him. Once these people heard Dugu Muyou's name, their first impression of her was good-for-nothing. From now on, when they heard Dugu Muyou's name again, they would probably regard her as a monster.

Nobody heard of such a fast advancing speed and even couldn't find anyone like her in history. Those who wore the crown of genius were nothing compared to Dugu Muyou. Some people began to wonder whether she used any heresy methods to get such a weird cultivation speed. If they hadn't heard of such a method, such a rumor would have already spread all over the world.

After hearing the people's gossip around her, Zhao Xue's face turned pale, looking at Dugu Piaopiao worriedly. Although she was highly anxious, there was nothing she could do but sit here to watch the contest.

Dugu Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sightline stopped at Dugu Muyou's forehead. Maybe her cultivation speed was inseparable from that thing. Unfortunately, Dugu Zhong couldn't get it at all. All kinds of emotions flashed in Dugu Zhong's eyes, and he could only end with a sigh. It was just that this daughter had such luck. It was so unfair. What if another child had such a chance.

Dugu Qinglan burst into a powerful momentum that was the strength only possessed by someone at the peak of black rank.

Dugu Muyou stood still calmly, and the ink-like black spirit power surrounding her affectionately turned into an abstract painting in the air.

"Watch out!"

Dugu Qinglan called out aloud. The attack came like a storm, and the contest between the two sisters began.

Half an hour later, a slender figure was as fast as lightning, and a black dagger in her hand stabbed Dugu Qinglan quickly but stopped half an inch in front of her neck.

"I win."

Dugu Muyou pulled back the dagger and stretched out her right hand to Dugu Qinglan. Dugu Qinglan smiled, took Dugu Muyou's hand and got up.

Earth-shaking shouts broke out on all the grandstands. On the left side of the Central Grandstand, a little old man leaned sadly on his seat with a pitiful face and muttered, "It's over. It's over." He was the one who was in charge of Ring 9 on the first day of the trial.

"Oh!" the little old man let out a cry, "Although the result is uncertain, it is almost the same. Even Dugu Qinglan lost, not to mention Dugu Piaopiao. After two rounds of wins, the first would be settled. "

It was almost over indeed because he had bet a large amount of gold on Dugu Qinglan after careful investigation and consideration.

The little old man was heartbroken. He whipped a handful of nonexistent tears and said to himself, "I must quit gambling after this time! It must be to pay back the money I won before."

The little old man seemed to be a bit happier after he made up his mind. He looked around and found that he was definitely not the only one with a sad face. No, to be exact, there was an intense unease on almost everyone's face.

Seeing this, the little old man couldn't help laughing.

"No biggie. No biggie. There is win, and there is loss."
