Chapter 330: Promote Civilization and Set Good Examples
Chapter 330: Promote Civilization and Set Good Examples
Director...Director?
Huang Weiming was taken aback.
He looked towards the young couple not far away, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
As someone of a certain status, he had attended numerous gatherings and seen countless handsome men and beautiful women.
But none of them could compare to the pair before him.
Not only in terms of looks but also in their demeanor.
What surprised Huang Weiming the most was that the brick that had just hit his head was now in the young man's hand.
He felt as if he had just gone through a dream.
Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.
"I...I'm not the Director," he replied subconsciously.
Qi Yuan held the brick, and disappointment flashed across his face.
"It's all a lie. How could I randomly hit a brick and hit the Director in the capital?"
A smile appeared in Jin Sican's lively eyes: "If you wish, he could be the Director."
"Cheating is no fun."
This strange conversation between the couple left Huang Weiming confused.
A brick?
Hit someone?
The Director? Was it not an illusion just now?
He wanted to say something more, but suddenly, he realized that the young couple had completely disappeared from his sight.
He quickly looked around but found no trace of them anywhere.
If they were human, it was impossible for them to have left his sight so quickly.
Could it be...a ghost? Huang Weiming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The immense mental pressure had weakened his nerves, causing him to experience a hallucination.
A large brick had fallen, and the man had asked about the Director.
It all seemed so absurd.
He put these thoughts aside and returned home with a frown and a tired body.
"Sigh...life is so difficult...it's better to destroy everything."
Huang Weiming felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He had even considered taking his own life, but he knew it was impossible.
Firstly, he had a family, people he cared about, and responsibilities.
Secondly, the Mu Clan was one of the Seven Star Warrior Families, and their descendants were protected by nanobot suits. He couldn't possibly achieve his goal of bloodshed.
"Is...is this my fate?"
He felt discontent in his heart.
Just then, his phone screen suddenly lit up.
A message appeared before his eyes.
The densely packed formatting made him think it was a spam message, and he was about to delete it.
But suddenly, he froze.
"Voting? What's this?"
He was stunned.
"Dear Mr. Huang Weiming, you are an adult and a legal citizen of Qin Yuan Kingdom.
You are invited to vote on the following matters..."
"Mu Clan? Seven Star Warrior Family? Treason?
Listing evidence and holding a vote?"
These messages flooded into Huang Weiming's mind, leaving him dazed and confused.
Was someone playing a prank on him?
Judging the Seven Star Warrior Family? That's ridiculous! Everyone knows that the Seven Star Warrior Families are the true emperors of Qin Yuan Kingdom.
A thousand-year-old lineage, standing tall and unyielding, who can judge them?
However, he still clicked on the link provided in the text message.
When he saw the information on the website, he was momentarily stunned.
"If this is a joke...it's too much work for a prank, right?"
Just clicking on a person's name revealed their entire life story.
The information was extremely detailed, recording everything they had done in their life.
Both good and bad deeds were included.
Moreover, each person's profile had a robot lawyer providing explanations, stating the punishment according to Qin Yuan Kingdom's laws.
Such vast information, professional explanations, and detailed data couldn't be explained away as a simple prank.
"This is...Mu Kong?"
When he saw the familiar name, he was completely shocked.
The person who had robbed him was none other than Mu Kong.
He was also on the list for judgment.
Huang Weiming felt absurd.
He continued reading.
"Murder...Rape...Suspected of plotting to seize the assets of a merchant with the surname Huang..."
Huang Weiming's heart raced as he read this.
Wasn't this about him?
He was extremely excited at this moment, feeling both absurd and comical. He quickly opened the social platform to see what was going on.
Indeed, on various platforms, the information about the "vote" had become a hot topic.
"Voting, what's going on?"
"What is the Mu Clan?"
"A public vote?"
"Who initiated this?"
"Hiss...Could it be that the Mu Clan has offended the other Seven Star Warrior Families?"
"Impossible. Even if the Mu Clan falls, the Seven Star Warrior Families wouldn't allow a vote. There's something fishy going on..."
"Could it be...that the gods have shown their power?"
...
The moonlight was hazy.
Qi Yuan hugged Jin Sican and looked at the Seventh Prince in the distance.
He waved his hand: "I'm busy. I don't have time for these idle people. Send them away.
Don't disturb me and ruin my mood, or...I'll have to vote."
The Seventh Prince's heart tightened at these words.
The mention of voting made his tense heart skip a beat.
Although the Seven Star Warriors' families were not all of the same poor character, they were truly no match for the voting process.
"As you wish, Mr. Qi!" The Seventh Prince responded hastily.
"As for the rest, I can't be bothered to get involved. I'll leave it to you officials; after all... I'm just an ordinary person, I can only offer suggestions... Off you go, I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow, I have to return to Longtai City, and in a few days... I'll even be participating in the Martial Arts Tournament!"
Mentioning the Martial Arts Tournament, Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn.
This was the most crucial period.
Compared to the tournament, the Seven Star Warriors' families were nothing but a fart.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince broke out in a cold sweat.
Your suggestion is more effective than an imperial edict? In this Qin Yuan Kingdom, who dares to defy Mr. Qi Yuan?
Even the other Seven Star Warriors' families revered Mr. Qi Yuan as an ancestor.
After the Seventh Prince finished his salute, he exited the hotel.
In the hotel lobby, a group of elders stood respectfully.
The youngest among these elders was already in their sixties.
Yet, at this moment, they stood outside the hotel, not daring to sit on chairs.
Since they were meeting with Mr. Qi Yuan, they didn't dare to abuse their privileges as before, nor did they block the road or prohibit others from entering.
Therefore, passersby who witnessed this group of old men standing outside couldn't help but show curiosity.
Some even took photos.
No matter how they thought, they couldn't imagine that these old men were the most powerful figures in the Qin Yuan Kingdom.
The clan leaders of the Seven Star Warriors' families and the king of the royal family.
Seeing the Seventh Prince emerge, the elders hurried forward.
Elder Fang, the clan leader, asked, "Mr. Qi... what did he say?"
Elder Fang's voice trembled slightly.
Having lived for so long, he had never been this cautious.
"Mr. Qi doesn't wish to meet with you all," the Seventh Prince replied truthfully.
"What?"
"Mr. Qi doesn't want to see us..."
"Does that mean...?"
These old men were like grieving relatives.
They thought Mr. Qi Yuan was furious and wanted to deal with them.
"Mr. Qi said he's busy and doesn't want to see you all..." The Seventh Prince had a good memory and immediately repeated Mr. Qi Yuan's words to them.
Hearing this, the old men all heaved a sigh of relief.
"We will heed Mr. Qi's words and not dare to disobey!" Elder Fang, the clan leader, spoke up.
The other clan leaders echoed his words.
Not meeting Mr. Qi Yuan was, in a way, a good thing for them.
In fact, some of them were also anxious.
What if... Mr. Qi Yuan gets unhappy and kills them all? What would they do? Not meeting Mr. Qi Yuan... was, to some extent, a good thing.
Two days later, in Longtai City, Mr. Qi Yuan breathed in the fresh air and gazed at the azure sky, unable to hold back his words.
"Although it's just a rumor that you can hit a commissioner with a brick, the air quality in the capital is indeed poor."
Jin Si Que also sniffed the air and nodded in agreement.
"The only regret of this trip to the capital is... these old men are too poor. Although they meet the age requirement according to my White Moonlight standards, their other qualities are too lacking, not even up to the level of a meal replacement."
At that time, Mr. Qi Yuan didn't meet those old men.
However, he was an expert in killing old men.
The ones he liked the most were old men.
After all, old men had the highest probability of becoming his White Moonlight.
At that moment, he couldn't resist the urge to look for his ideal White Moonlight.
Unfortunately, reality was harsh.
Those old men were too pathetic.
They didn't even qualify as meal replacements.
"After a simple investigation these past few days, I estimate there are very few here who can become your White Moonlight," Jin Si Que said considerately.
Having been with Mr. Qi Yuan for so long, she had also adapted to his style of speech.
"It seems we can only rely on fate," Mr. Qi Yuan sighed.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the building that once housed the local branch of the Martial Arts Tournament.
Tomorrow, the competition would begin.
Today, all the participants would undergo physical examinations and then be assigned accommodations.
Tomorrow, the tournament would commence.
At this moment, a bus stopped, and a group of young men and women disembarked.
Xing's eyes were filled with joy as she exclaimed, "This is Longtai City, indeed much more prosperous than our hometown of Yuezhi!"
"So many martial artists, are they all here to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament?"
Wang Shiqiao's eyes lit up with excitement.
This time, Xu Tiehua's outstanding performance at the city-level competition caught everyone's attention, and he continued to shine at the provincial level, securing a spot at the National Tournament.
For their martial arts hall, this was a significant event.
So, there were five or six people from their hall who accompanied Xu Tiehua to Longtai City.
Wang Shiqiao and Xingyu, as the beauty icons among the female disciples, naturally came to cheer them on.
After all, the hall master was covering all expenses.
"Brother Xu, you must make it into the top 100 this time!" Xingyu encouraged Xu Tiehua.
Xu Tiehua shook his head, "It's too difficult. This time, I'm here to gain some experience.
As for next time... I don't even know if there will be a next time. Recently... too many things have happened."
Xingyu and Wang Shiqiao could relate as they recalled the recent events.
Especially the vote a couple of days ago, where the legendary Seven Stars Clan was involved.
Even someone like Xu Tiehua, who held some influence in the region, had no qualifications to interact with members of the Seven Stars Clan.
Yet now, everyone could vote to decide their fate.
This caused a huge stir in Qin Yuan Kingdom, sparking numerous discussions.
Opinions varied, but no conclusion was reached.
However, everyone seemed to agree on one thing.
The world was about to undergo a drastic change, an unprecedented upheaval.
"Some say that cultivators have appeared in this world, and martial arts... will be phased out," Xu Tiehua sighed.
After all, he had practiced martial arts for so many years, and if martial arts were to be eliminated, he felt a bit lost.
"Shiqiao, do you think there are really cultivators in this world?" Xingyu asked Wang Shiqiao.
Wang Shiqiao froze for a moment.
Her mind flashed back to the past, to the person's head.
When she received the gift of a human head, she had been terrified for several days.
Later, after learning about the Gui Ran Military Camp incident and watching the leaked video, a terrifying thought formed in her mind.
Could it be...
Are there really cultivators? Is Yuan... a cultivator? But why would a cultivator practice martial arts, send her a human head, and pay her one million?
A cultivator wouldn't need that million.
Could it be... he secretly admired her?
As she was lost in her thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly echoed.
"What a coincidence, you're here for the National Martial Arts Tournament too."
Xu Tiehua and the others recognized the voice and quickly turned to look.
When they saw the person approaching, their eyes first widened in surprise and then lit up with admiration.
"Qiyuan, how did you end up here?" Xu Tiehua asked in surprise.
Xingyu, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
She found Qiyuan to be a peculiar person.
Back at the martial arts hall, he was always accompanied by the celebrity An Qi.
Now in Longtai, he had an indescribably beautiful woman by his side.
"I'm here for the National Martial Arts Tournament. This is my fiancee, her name is Ning Tuo, also known as Jin Sique. Isn't she gorgeous? Can she be considered the first beauty of Arch Star?" Qiyuan held Jin Sique's small hand, his gaze towards her filled with warmth.
The once arrogant Jin Sique, cursed by the Ten Thousand Demon Gate, had gone through so much.
Qiyuan still felt a sense of guilt towards Jin Sique.
She was not only the first beauty of Jiupanshan but had always been beautiful.
"Fiancee? Where did you meet her?" Xingyu's eyes sparkled with admiration, "In the past, if someone claimed to be the most beautiful woman in the world or the first beauty of the Five Thousand Years, I wouldn't believe it.
But now, I acknowledge her!"
Indeed, the beauty of Ning Tuo before them was beyond Xingyu's ability to describe.
"Did you see Jin Sique? You're not only the first beauty of Jiupanshan but also the star flower of Arch Star." Qiyuan occasionally stumbled over his words.
"Tsk, I remember you were reluctant when I asked you to acknowledge me as the first beauty of Jiupanshan," Jin Sique playfully 'tsk'ed, her adorable expression making Qiyuan's heart flutter.
Qiyuan's memories seemed to rewind to Jiupanshan, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he held Jin Sique's hand tighter.
"The past is the past, and now is now."
"Hey, you two, stop flirting, it's making me sick. Just tell me, how did you qualify for the Martial Arts Tournament? I don't recall you even participating in the city-level tournament?" Xingyu said.
Wang Shiqiao, usually talkative, suddenly fell silent, seemingly intimidated by Qiyuan.
"I took a special channel," Qiyuan replied seriously.
"Special channel?" Xu Tiehua was surprised, his gaze towards Qiyuan slightly shifting.
Just then, a broadcast suddenly echoed through the building.
"Attention all contestants, to 'Promote Civilization and Set Good Examples', this Martial Arts Tournament prohibits the use of profanity, threats, or provocations towards opponents.
Any violations will result in immediate disqualification, and..."
The broadcast reached the ears of everyone present.
The martial artists all had puzzled expressions.
"What's going on? What does 'Promote Civilization and Good Examples' mean? There weren't such rules before."
"We can't provoke opponents? That's no fun at all."
"Can we flip people off?"
