No, the moves and techniques she was using, along with her cultivation methods, were all the Mo family's traditional heritage, without any other influences.
If that was the case, then there was only one possibility—the Mo family's Young Miss had higher martial talent than him. This was very difficult for the Nangong Fourth Young Master to accept.
He would rather believe that the Mo family's Young Miss had some fortuitous encounter or guidance from an expert!!
After all, no one would willingly admit defeat in terms of talent, especially not the Nangong Fourth Young Master.
However, sometimes facts don't allow people to deny them. The more one doesn't want to face something, the more one is "forced" to face it. Soon, the Nangong Fourth Young Master was forced to face reality.
"Knock your big head!"
The Mo family's Young Miss seized the opportunity when the Nangong Fourth Young Master was distracted. Her delicate jade hand broke through his defense, then delivered a head strike—
A heavy knock landed on the Nangong Fourth Young Master's big head!
"Ah! I'll kill you!!"
The Nangong Fourth Young Master became even more furious, now reaching a state of uncontrollable rage!
"Crimson Fire Divine Art..."
"Fourth Brother, don't!"
Just as the Nangong Fourth Young Master was about to unleash a technique, he was stopped by someone. Everyone only saw a figure flash by, then saw a beautiful girl appear before the Nangong Fourth Young Master—equally beautiful as the Mo family's Young Miss. With the same delicate jade hands, she pressed down on the Nangong Fourth Young Master with one hand.
From this move alone, this girl's strength far exceeded the Nangong Fourth Young Master's, and also far exceeded the Mo family's Young Miss who was roughly equal to the Fourth Young Master. However, her age wasn't much different from the two of them.
After being suppressed, the Nangong Fourth Young Master didn't resist—not because he lacked the strength to resist, but because the girl before him made resistance impossible. This girl was his most feared elder sister.
The girl before them was the Nangong family's Young Miss. Though both were young misses, this Young Miss had many halos and was far more dazzling than the Mo family's Young Miss.
This Nangong Young Miss was not only the most talented genius girl of the Nangong family's new generation in martial arts, but also one of the famous geniuses in all of Qingyun City and even the entire Heavenly Wind Kingdom.
"Big Sister, don't stop me! I want to kill that stinking woman across from us!!" the Nangong Fourth Young Master shouted.
"Nonsense!! She's the Mo family's Young Miss. If you kill her, do you want our two families to go to war? Besides, don't you know that using the Crimson Fire Divine Art now would cause you great harm? Is it worth it for a moment's anger?" the girl scolded severely, though with a hint of affection for her younger brother.
The Crimson Fire Divine Art was a fire-attribute technique, a secret transmission of the Nangong family that could temporarily boost attack power. The degree of enhancement was proportional to the technique's proficiency, and the side effects were also determined by one's mastery—of course, this was within appropriate limits. If exceeded, even deep cultivation couldn't control it.
The current Nangong Fourth Young Master hadn't mastered the Crimson Fire Divine Art. If he used it with his current cultivation, he would definitely suffer serious side effects. It was a desperate move that shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary.
Just now, he must have been blinded by anger to do something so foolishly reckless.
The Nangong family's Young Miss seemed very refined. It looked like this incident should end now—time to wrap up.
Xiaoyao thought while looking at the Nangong Young Miss. He had already stopped cheering, and at this moment, basically everyone had stopped their actions, all looking toward the Nangong Young Miss and the others.
Most people probably shared Xiaoyao's thoughts, feeling that this Nangong Young Miss seemed very polite and wouldn't participate in disputes. If they understood this Nangong Young Miss, they wouldn't think so.
This matter wouldn't end here, because the Nangong Young Miss was someone who took family honor seriously. No one could disrespect the Nangong family, and she was extremely protective of her own.
However, she would use normal methods—at least methods everyone considered normal. She was an extremely clever woman.
"Miss Mo Yu, although my younger brother is a bit rash, I don't want anyone bullying him either. Just now you could have clearly defeated him, yet you toyed with him. I cannot accept this! Here, I must seek an explanation for him!" the Nangong Young Miss said.
The Nangong Young Miss's words put her on the reasonable side, while conversely, the Mo family's Young Miss was in the wrong. Ordinary people facing such a situation would definitely explain and refute, pulling themselves back to the reasonable side, or at least not being in the wrong.
However, this Mo family's Young Miss said very straightforwardly: "If we're fighting, let's fight! Why all the chatter?!"
"..."
This Mo family's Young Miss didn't care at all whether she was right or wrong. She felt she was here to fight and cause trouble in the first place—what did being right or wrong matter?
Those with good reasons wouldn't be standing here!!
Our Young Miss is still more adorable...
Xiaoyao smiled. He could actually guess his own Young Miss's behavior, because similar incidents weren't the first time. His understanding of his family's Young Miss wasn't from the first meeting. It should be said he understood his family's Young Miss quite well—
She didn't have a personality like the noble young miss, this Mo Young Miss, liked drinking and causing trouble, and behaved like a boy. Today's incident happened because she came here to drink, encountered someone she disliked, and started trouble. However, she was quite straightforward as a person.
Of course, Xiaoyao understanding the Young Miss didn't mean the Mo family's Young Miss understood him, nor did it mean the Mo family's Young Miss even knew him...
"I don't want others saying I'm bullying you either. With your strength, you're still far from matching me!!" the Nangong Young Miss said proudly, with a superior attitude.
Though this attitude made the Mo family people very unhappy, they knew she had the strength to say such words. Their own Young Miss still had a large gap compared to her.
Using this world's standards, the Nangong Young Miss was already a genius girl who had entered the General level, while the Mo family's Young Miss seemed to have just crossed from Human level into Scholar level. Not only was there an entire level difference between them, but even if they were both at Scholar level, one at the peak and one just entering, the gap would still be vast.
Incidentally, as a General-level warrior, though not rare in this world, someone of the Nangong Young Miss's age was quite uncommon, truly worthy of her genius reputation.
"It's just one level. This young lady will get there." the Mo family's Young Miss said unconcernedly, seeming to declare she didn't care about this distance and would catch up in the future.
However, when she reached that level, others wouldn't wait in place.
In terms of talent, though the Mo family's Young Miss was decent, she was still far inferior to the Nangong Young Miss. Moreover, their Mo family's martial foundation wasn't very strong. Wanting to catch up to the Nangong Young Miss was almost impossible.
Unless she had a fortuitous encounter or entered a powerful sect or academy, using diligence to compensate for the talent gap.
However, this Mo family Young Miss's personality didn't seem like she would enter those powerful sects and academies. She preferred running rampant in this small territory.
"We'll talk when you get there. Now I'll give you a chance—we'll have three contests, with each side sending one person each time. As long as you can win two matches, you win!" the Nangong Young Miss said calmly, completely ignoring the Mo family Young Miss's declaration.
Three contests, with one being herself—definitely winning once. Originally, based on the Mo family's strength, it was hard to compare with the Nangong family. In group fights they could still gain some advantage, but now in single combat, not even the slightest advantage was possible.
"Hmph, who doesn't know what you're thinking... But this young lady won't fear you!" The Mo family's Young Miss wasn't stupid—quite the opposite, she was sharp and immediately saw through the opponent's thoughts.
"I just want fewer people to get hurt. Group fights are bad and inevitably lead to chaotic situations." the Nangong Young Miss said with a smile, very composed.
"Why waste so much talk? Hurry up and come out! First match—I want you!" the Mo family's Young Miss pointed at the Nangong Young Miss, saying somewhat impatiently.
"Fine, let me fight the first match and make you lose decisively!" The Nangong Young Miss slowly walked to the center, smiling calmly.
"Very good! I'll go find someone to fight you..." the Mo family's Young Miss said with a grin, her smile having the flavor of a successful scheme.
"?? What do you mean?" the Nangong Young Miss was stunned. She felt she might have been played by the seemingly brainless Mo family Young Miss across from her.
In her impression, the Mo family's Young Miss was just a willful and rash young miss who never used her brain.
"What do you mean? You're fighting the first match, so I need to find you an opponent..." The Mo family's Young Miss still had that grinning expression.
"You just said..." the Nangong Young Miss frowned.
"I only said you should come out. I never said I would go up by myself!" The Mo family's Young Miss replied directly, not savoring her successful trickery.
"..."
"I'll go find the worst one... You all, who do you think is the worst..."
At this moment, Xiaoyao's evaluation of the Young Miss rose another notch, feeling this Young Miss wasn't as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Right, give up the certain-loss match and focus on the next two. According to her strength, no one else on the other side seemed capable of defeating her.
If that was the case, then this contest had a chance of winning, though winning wouldn't bring any particular benefits...
As for the candidate, just pick anyone randomly. I'll just cheer from the sidelines... Eh, wait, what do you mean by looking at me like that?
Xiaoyao was observing as a bystander with an attitude of "it's none of my business" when he suddenly noticed everyone's gazes seemed focused on him. What the hell did this mean? Could it be—
Do you all think I'm the worst?
