Three days later, Ming Shu hugged her pastries and stared at the heroes of the pugilist world silently. They looked back at her.
Ming Shu was very young. If the rule about inheriting the pugilist alliance master position didn’t exist, they would not recognize her at all.
However, the Flying Tiger Clan treated her differently. Protector Zhou saw Ming Shu defeat Lord Zhuo personally.
Hence, everyone in the clan treated Ming Shu with utmost respect.
So many people stared at her, Ming Shu wondered if they were after her snacks.
She protected the plate in her hand. “What do you all want from me.”
“Cough…” An elder stepped out. “Alliance Master, you should know why we are looking for you. We hope that you can organize a competition for us. The winner of the competition will get the divine sword.”
Ming Shu asked a serious question: “Can I participate?”
Everyone: “…”
“Heh heh…” Someone laughed forcefully. “You are part of the pugilist world too so you can take part. However, that would be unfair for the rest of the people.”
In other words, she couldn’t participate.
She was supposed to be the judge!
“You are still young. You can gain more experience first. There will be chances for you in the future. If you take part, people might say that we bullied you.” How dare she tangle with older people like them.
Everyone else agreed.
“So you are saying that I have to organize a competition for you all, but I can’t take part or gain anything out of it. Why should I do something like that?”
This is a loss for me!
“You… you are the alliance master.”
This is what you should do.
Ming Shu shook her leg. “So what if I am the alliance master? Am I not human? Is it a must for me to work hard for all of you? Will you all give me snac… money?”
Erm…
Everyone looked at each other.
What is she trying to say?
I don’t know…
Steamed Bun wanted to find a hole and bury himself. He was afraid that the alliance master would say something embarrassing and destroy the reputation of the entire Alliance Master Mansion.
“However, I can organize this competition for you all if you give me tributes. I am not interested in that sword anyway.” I’d rather eat my snacks than fight.
Tri… tribute?
What should they give her?
Money?
Was their alliance master so shallow?
If she wanted money, it would be an easy thing to solve.
“I will organize the competition after you all prepare snacks for me.” Ming Shu slammed the table. “Dismissed.”
All the leaders from the various sects and clans walked out of the main hall in a daze.
It was hard to figure out what that little girl was thinking.
“If the old alliance master didn’t die, she would never have the chance to order us around.”
“A little girl is good. It is better than someone who really has the ability to be the pugilist alliance master.”
Everyone went silent.
This was true.
It was easier to deal with a little girl that deal with someone who had real abilities.
…
The competition was held in a mountain villa outside Luo City. The mountain villa belonged to the Flying Tiger Clan.
The people that came for the competition were stunned.
Why did they need to give snacks to enter the place?
If they didn’t give any, they would be barred from entering the main door.
It was just some snacks so no one kicked up a fuss about it. It didn’t cost much.
However, some people didn’t bring any food with them so they had to return to the city to buy food. This caused some displeasure.
“What is the Flying Tiger Clan doing?”
“Do they lack food and need our help?”
“It has nothing to do with the Flying Tiger Clan. The people outside the main door are from the Alliance Master Mansion.” Someone spoke up for the Flying Tiger Clan.
“The Alliance Master Mansion?”
The people thought about it carefully. The people at the main door indeed seemed to be from the Alliance Master Mansion.
So the Alliance Master Mansion had a lack of food?
At the same time, Ming Shu was sitting in the alliance master’s personal seat with Rong Li and Steamed Bun beside her.
Steamed Bun was unhappy with this person who suddenly climbed up to the same status as him.
He spent a lot of effort to reach this position.
But, Rong Li was specially appointed by the alliance master. He could only proved to the alliance master through his actions to show her that he was better than this good-looking but useless pretty boy.
“Alliance Master, be careful of your image.” Steamed Bun reminded Ming Shu.
Ming Shu had one leg on the chair and was sitting with an improper posture.
“You are so talkative.” Ming Shu threw a fruit preserve into her mouth.
Steamed Bun: “…” The Alliance Master Mansion wants to maintain its dignity.
As more and more people entered the area, they started greeting one another.
Of course, most of them were just being polite with each other.
However, their alliance master…
“Alliance Master, long time no see.”
“Do I know you?”
“Alliance Master, you are young and promising.”
“Your foresight is not bad.”
Everyone is being polite. Why are you answering all the greetings? Did you feel that you have not offended enough people?
“Cough, cough…” The owner of the place, the leader of the Flying Tiger Clan, stood up and signaled for everyone to be quiet. “Welcome to the competition.”
Ming Shu suddenly said, “Do you really welcome them? You are not speaking the truth, Leader.”
The leader of the Flying Tiger Clan: “…”
This was just a polite greeting!
Was he supposed to tell the whole world that he didn’t welcome them and ask them to get out?
Luckily, Ming Shu’s voice was not loud so no one else heard her.
The clan leader immediately regained his composure and continued his opening speech.
The superior’s speech was normally lengthy.
“Let’s invite Alliance Master to speak a few words.”
Ming Shu, the alliance master: “…”
Ming Shu didn’t want to get out of her chair so she just waved her hand in the air and said, “All the best, everyone. Do not let down the food that you gave.”
Everyone: “…”
That’s it?
The leader of the Flying Tiger Clan felt awkward.
What the hell did you just say?
“Heh heh… the competition starts officially now. Please know when to stop. Do not harm our relationships.”
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. No one wanted to go up the battle stage.
The rules for this competition were simple. The last one standing won the match.
Hence, the first one on stage would be at a disadvantage. No matter how good he or she was, he or she would not have the stamina to last till the end.
People that wanted the divine sword would not choose to be the first to go up.
Finally, someone jumped up to the stage.
The competition started.
“Steamed Bun, have you seen the divine sword?” Ming Shu suddenly remembered something important.
She met Rong Li’s eyes accidentally when she turned her head. Rong Li smiled at her obediently.
“No,” Steamed Bun replied. “Didn’t you ask the clan leader of the Flying Tiger Clan about it?”
“I forgot.”
“…” How can you forget something so important!
Ming Shu turned back. She poked the clan leader who was beside her. “Where is the divine sword?”
The clan leader was stunned. “I never told you?”
Ming Shu blinked. “Did you?”
The clan leader was not certain, either. “… Should be so.”
“You didn’t.” I don’t remember anything at all.
The clan leader of the Flying Tiger Clan pondered for a moment. He did tell her about it on the first night of her stay at the Flying Tiger Clan. It was during dinnertime…
“Cough, cough…” If the alliance master said that he didn’t, he didn’t. “It is on the Thousand Jade Mountain being guarded by the various sects and clans.”
