Chapter 1003: 102 Chapter 1003: 102 Pingbei King smiled, “Are you speaking of Fang Lin? He's not skilled enough; he doesn't compare to Jian Qingshan, not by a long shot.”
Ye Mengxian snorted, “Then, how about making another wager with me, my lord?”
Pingbei King laughed, “What are we wagering on this time?”
“It's a bet on if Fang Lin and Qing Jianzi were to fight, which of the two would win,” Ye Mengxian said.
Hearing this, Pingbei King furrowed his brow, “Even if we were to bet, what if the two never face each other later on? How would we count that?”
Ye Mengxian said casually, “If they never face each other, then the bet is naturally void.”
After pausing, Ye Mengxian continued, “If the two of them do face each other, my lord would naturally back Jian Qingshan to win, and I would naturally back Fang Lin.”
“What about the stakes? You don't still want my Beast Spirit Liquor, do you? I've told you, Ye, I only have a little left of my Beast Spirit Liquor; I can't wager it with you again,” Pingbei King said cautiously.
Ye Mengxian smiled slyly, “We'll talk about the stakes later, after all, as my lord said, they might not even meet, and discussing the stakes now is meaningless.”
Pingbei King chuckled, “You girl, you're surely up to no good again, but I'm not afraid of you. Let's wait and see.”
Beside them, Meng Haiwen looked on enviously, comparing how Ye Mengxian could talk and laugh freely with Pingbei King, while attempting to strike up a conversation with others only got him disdained. Such was the gap between them.
Tuoba Lie, unconcerned, appeared very indifferent, while the Lord of Sea Moon City looked at Ye Mengxian and Pingbei King with a smile on his face.

The first day of the competition had ended, and the eliminated Talents had not left; they would stay to watch the ongoing battles of the Talents, even if they could not participate, to gain some insights.
Meanwhile, Martial Artists kept arriving from all directions, plunging Sea Moon City into a situation of severe overcrowding.
Even though Sea Moon City is a magnificent metropolis, the number of people inside the city was ten times the usual count at this moment.
Instantly, all the inns and guesthouses in Sea Moon City were full of guests, and many private houses were requisitioned by Martial Artists.
Even so, there were still many Martial Artists who had no place to stay; they had no choice but to sit cross-legged on rooftops and streets or gather in alleys and roads.
In such an overcrowded situation, it was very difficult to maintain order in Sea Moon City. Given the mixed crowd gathered, including people from different countries and all sorts of forces, it was easy for conflicts and tensions to arise among them.
During the night of the Talents battle, numerous incidents occurred–people fought fiercely and caused a great disturbance.
If not for the intervention of the City Lord Mansion's personnel to maintain order, half of Sea Moon City might not have had peace that night.
That night, the topic most discussed by the Martial Artists was naturally the day's Talents battle.
“Counting it all up, the most exciting match of the day was still between Jian Qingshan and Liu Fengqu…”
“I feel the same. Both are masters, but ultimately, Jian Qingshan was a bit more skilled.”
“Hehe, the most disappointing must be Ying Xinghe's match, right? His opponent simply conceded. Truly embarrassing!”
“Indeed, it's embarrassingly bad. Even if outmatched, one should at least have the courage to fight. It's baffling how he made it this far.”
“Ling Wushuang and Shen Fan both easily defeated their opponents; their strength is also quite astonishing.”
“That one-armed man, Shen Fan, is truly formidable, you know; he's missing an arm.”
“And that Alchemy Tao Grandmaster Fang Lin is quite a force to reckon with as well.”
“Are you talking about Fang Dading? So, he is the youngest Master of Pill, Fang Lin, from the Pill Alliance?”
“You didn't know that? Really out of the loop. Now, how many people in the city do not know that Fang Dading is Master Fang Lin?”
“So, it seems that Master Fang is indeed quite remarkable.”
“Exactly, not only is he the youngest Master of Pill of the Pill Alliance, but he also possesses extraordinary Martial Arts skills. Truly remarkable.”
“However, compared to Jian Qingshan and Shen Fan, Master Fang probably pales in comparison.”
“There is certainly a gap since Master Fang is only at the Spirit Vein realm and has not reached Spirit Bone. How can he compete with them?”
“Hehe, even if he reached Spirit Bone, how many could stand as their equals? Let alone Spirit Vein.”
“That's true. Liu Fengqu of the Cangyun Sect, who is very strong himself, is still no match for Jian Qingshan.”
“In any case, at the Sea Moon City tournament, we should only focus on people like Jian Qingshan and Shen Fan. The others will be overshadowed by them.”
****
A night passed, and the second day of the tournament continued.
However, compared to the first day, the tournament seemed somewhat dull as there were no outstanding competitors like Jian Qingshan or Shen Fan.
Certainly, there were several very intense matches that caught everyone's admiration.
On the third day, with most of the first round completed, everyone eagerly awaited the performance of Princess Yun Lan.
Princess Yun Lan was also one of the very anticipated contestants among Sea Moon City's five-hundred talents, not only because of her strength but also due to her unconventional behavior.
“Finally, my turn?” Princess Yun Lan laughed heartily, leaped up, and landed directly on the array platform.
But as soon as she arrived, everyone was stunned, including the two competitors who were already there.
She went to the wrong platform!
Seeing the two talents about to clash, Princess Yun Lan quirked her lip: “You two, go to another platform. I like it here.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Princess Yun Lan was so overbearing. Even though it was her mistake, she was still making them give up their spot.
“Hahaha! Yun Lan, this girl is quite the character!” laughed the Pingbei King heartily.
Tuoba Lie's face twitched. People from Yuan Country might be bold and unrestrained, but not like Princess Yun Lan. There should be some reasoning in one's actions.
“What? Do I need to throw you over there myself?” Princess Yun Lan said coldly, her voice full of anger.
The two talents wanted to argue, but they were intimidated by Princess Yun Lan's aura. They had no doubt that if they spoke another word, she would indeed throw them out.
Thus, the two talents awkwardly moved to another platform, yielding their spot to Princess Yun Lan.
This spectacle left everyone in Sea Moon City speechless. Was this even allowed?
The opponent facing Princess Yun Lan, a young man in white, came up to the platform with a face full of embarrassment, his expression incredibly awkward.
“Yo-ho? With your fair and clean look, donned in white, and looking so delicate, you must have a taste for the same sex, right?” Princess Yun Lan eyed the young man in white keenly and blurted out shockingly.
