Chapter 31: Disfigured
As two of the most beautiful women in a sea of beautiful women, countless pairs of eyes were now set upon them.
Second Madame nodded. "Yes, that's right. You need not trouble yourself with the queue. We'll enroll on your behalf!"
As they spoke, Second Madame's turn had arrived. Stepping forward, Second Madame enrolled for both Hua Mengshi and Hua Qiyue before submitting her own enrollment.
Beside them, the servants were having endless discussions. Hua Qiyue had begun receiving all kinds of sweeping looks from the crowd.
Hua Qiyue's lips curved slightly. Lvxin's eyes widened in surprise as her innocent mind finally caught up. "Miss... I think I understand..."
Hua Qiyue glanced nonchalantly at Second Madame's cheerful face. The woman looked as if she had just stumbled upon the best luck in the world.
Of course, she and her daughter both assumed that she was about to die. Why would they not be happy?

A slow breeze entered the hall, causing the man's clothes to billow. His profound eyes held the endless glint of clarity, as if they could instantly see through any person.He was incomparably handsome, though his attire and shaved head implied that he was a monk. What a waste.Lvxin had never met Xuanji before. "Miss... how, how, how come there's a man here?"Hua Qiyue curtsied. "Qiyue greets Master Xuanji!"Lvxin felt as if she had just been struck in the head by five thunderbolts. She stared blankly at the man standing in the hall. She could not believe her own eyes.Master Xuanji's name was well-known the world over. She’d assumed that only an old man could have the kind of deep insight into human nature his reputation implied."Miss Hua, it's a pleasure. I was passing by Hua Mansion and suddenly had the inclination to come to see you," Xuanji said, smiling casually.Lvxin's heart was beat

Hua Qiyue was informed by Qiuyun that her opponent would be Ouyang Liuer. What a coincidence indeed.Hua Qiyue was not bothered at all by this discovery. Lvxin and Youshui, on the other hand, were secretly worrying themselves to death about Hua Qiyue's chances.That night, Hua Qiyue decided that getting some good rest would be more productive than practicing inside the gourd.The morning of the tournament, Lvxin painstakingly tested Hua Qiyue's breakfast with a silver needle for any kind of poison before allowing Hua Qiyue to consume her meal.By chance, Hua Qiyue caught a glimpse of Qiuyun and saw that the latter's hands were trembling slightly. Hua Qiyue glanced at the dishes and soups nonchalantly and took a small sip of Long Red soup.After breakfast, Hua Qiyue brought Lvxin and Qiuyun with her to the tournament.The arena had been set up on the north side of the capital, which was usually vacant and u
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 34: The Competition Begins
Yun Shimo was not part of the imperial family, but had been crowned Prince Nan by the Emperor for his services to the kingdom, and was a highly valued member of the court.Prince Nan’s exceptional good looks and talent for medicine made him very popular among the ladies, but he’d never shown interest in any of them.Although the princesses in the stands gave him open looks of adoration, Yun Shimo seemed not to notice.Naturally, the Emperor sat at the forefront, with his Queen and Concubine Mei next to him. Concubine Lian, who had just achieved the status of Premier Concubine, was next to him as well.Every single move by Hua Qiyue was seen by the Emperor.He’d heard that Hua Qiyue was a cowardly woman, yet here she was, not only participating in a tournament, but betting extravagantly on her own success! The Emperor smiled faintly and said to Eunuch Chu, "Pass me paper and ink. I wish to bet with the dau
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 35: Disdain
As the tournament went on, the women in the stands chittered away about Prince Nan and the other handsome men present, who were far more interesting than the fighting.Hua Qiyue, however, focused intensely on the competition as she attempted to remember every single move made.She was like a diligent scholar, her slim brows shifting between being raised while and furrowed.Qiuyun returned, having handed all the betting slips to Butler Wang.As the tenth round approached, Lvxin's anxiousness increased further. She approached Hua Qiyue, who was absent-mindedly chewing on a piece of watermelon, and whispered, "Miss... let's leave quietly..."Hua Qiyue raised her brows as she stared at her maid in shock. "Why would I leave? My turn is coming up."Beside her, Qiuyun said anxiously, "Yes, Miss, no one would notice if you just left now!"Hua Qiyue put down her piece of watermelon calmly and wiped her

The Emperor was enjoying the match, too. Hua Qiyue was like snow on the stage as her white clothes move with the wind. Her hair flowed with the wind and her beauty captured everyone's heart.Yun Shimo watched at Hua Qiyue silently. The more he learned about her, the more questions arose.From the perspective of an ordinary bystander, Hua Qiyue was frustrated and nervous. She was just lucky to have evaded Ouyang Liuer's attacks, and an extremely lucky one to have evaded so many of them.On stage, Ouyang Liuer had stopped to catch her breath. "You’re not even fighting, just evading my attacks! If you want to fight, do it!"Hua Qiyue also pretended to be tired and gasped, wiping the sweat off her forehead as she blinked innocently. "Master Xuanji said that I would definitely win, but if I don't move away, you will kill me!"Hua Qiyue's speech invited insults from all directions.In the audience, Princess Huiz

Hua Qiyue stepped out of the carriage to shake hands with Ji Jing.Qiuyun's face sank.Ji Jing smiled with overwhelming enthusiasm. "My brother told me that your footwork during the match was outstanding. Can we treat you to a meal?"Hua Qiyue was flattered. "You’re too kind! I couldn’t possibly accept such generosity."Not wanting Hua Qiyue to feel forced, Ji Jing hurriedly said, "You are too humble, Ms. Hua. This is simply a meal between friends."Having a friend in the Ji family could be quite useful, indeed.After a quick glance at Lvxin and Qiuyun, she agreed.As they followed Ji Jing through the streets of the capital, Hua Qiyue began to feel like she knew where they were going, and her heart sank as Ji Jing stepped up to Dong Hai Restaurant.Zhou Zhicheng was standing inside, and it was all Hua Qiyue could do not to murder him on the spot.Everything around her

"Dad, what's wrong? What’s happening?" Ji Jing ran over and asked loudly as she clutched Ji Zhong's robes."There's something in our food. We all felt unwell after eating the same dishes. We’re leaving!" Ji Feng said coldly.The Ji family was well-known family across the plains of Changjing Kingdom, which meant this was bad news for Dong Hai Restaurant."Oh, Lord Medicine Saint, why would I think of doing such a thing? We haven’t noticed complaints from any of the other guests..." Zhou Zhicheng dripped with cold sweat. "Host Wu, bring 1,000 silver taels as a form of compensation to the Medicine Saint!""We do not lack silver taels, Boss Zhou. We'd like you to seriously investigate this matter. We want to know who put poison into our food!" Ji Zhong scoffed coldly.Zhou Zhicheng bowed obsequiously. "Please wait. I'll definitely capture the culprit and hand them over to you!"Ji Zhong scoffed, then headed up
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 39: Evil Plot
Yun Shimo had to suppress a laugh. It was difficult to believe this was the same woman who had threatened to destroy the Long Red stalks. And neither of those matched the woman he’d seen in the tournament mere hours ago.Which one was the real Hua Qiyue? Or were they all masks?"I rarely find myself in the capital, so now that I have the opportunity to walk about, I asked Qiyue to show me around."Hua Qiyue was surprised by his familiarity, but didn’t let it show on her face.Constantly putting on an act for everyone around her was exhausting. Yes, she was clever and, some would say, beautiful, but putting on the front of the dim-witted old Hua Qiyue was taking a toll on her.Sometimes, she just had to let the cleverness show."Tsk, I didn't expect Miss Hua to have such good fortune to not only win against Miss Ouyang but also find herself in the company of the Medicine Saint himself. She must be truly luc
