C206 Unforgettable(1)

A Battle of Life and Death!

Liu Yunyun's added condition reignited the crowd in the banquet hall. It was clear to everyone that Woo Zhengyang showed no signs of energy, while Quan Feiyan was expected to reach the Martial Master Stage this year. If a fight to the death were to occur between them, Woo Zhengyang would surely face a dire outcome.

Hearing Liu Yunyun's words, Woo Zhengyang's expression gradually darkened. Broken promises, reckless words, and false accusations for personal gain—these actions of the Liu family had long displeased him. However, after the incident with Liang Ruoxuan, Woo Zhengyang had been patient, not wanting to tarnish Liu Yunyun's reputation.

But this time, Woo Zhengyang could no longer hold back. The Liu family wasn't just planning to throw him out after an explanation; they intended to end this turmoil with his death.

Woo Zhengyang stood up, about to speak, when Quan Feiyan quickly rose and said, "Since Young Master Woo is so confident, I, Quan Feiyan of Tianjue City, accept the challenge."

"Tsk... Tsk... This act is way too obvious. They don't even let the person involved say a word!" Han Shanyuan couldn't stand it any longer and scoffed from the side.

It wasn't just him; everyone could see that this situation was orchestrated by the Liu family and Quan Feiyan. As soon as Liu Yunyun stated her condition, Quan Feiyan immediately issued the challenge. Even if Woo Zhengyang wanted to say something, they could easily claim he was backing out. Regardless of whether Woo Zhengyang accepted the challenge, the Liu family had plenty of excuses to save face.

But what does it matter if you see through it? The world operates on these rules: no matter how eloquent your words, they're no match for a strong fist!

"Han Shanyuan, what right does a defeated soldier like you have to speak? If you're not satisfied, you can challenge me after this battle, and I won't refuse!"

Quan Feiyan's words caught Han Shanyuan off guard. He glanced at Liu Yunyun with a complex expression but remained silent.

Witnessing this, Woo Zhengyang chuckled softly, "Shanyuan, do you think it's worth it?"

Han Shanyuan hesitated for a moment before sighing, "It's hard to forget the dreams of youth! Besides, aren't you even crazier than I am?"

By now, Woo Zhengyang understood the Liu family's schemes and spoke candidly, "I'm not like you. My appearance in the arena that day was a mistake!"

"A mistake?" Han Shanyuan asked, puzzled, as everyone else leaned in to listen.

At this point, everyone knew Woo Zhengyang had been abandoned, not a pre-planned pawn. Otherwise, things wouldn't have unfolded this way. They were eager to know what mistake Woo Zhengyang was referring to.

"I was randomly sent out from that mysterious cave in Sunset Canyon, messing up your plans purely by accident!"

"Mysterious cave? No way, did this guy really enter a mysterious cave?"

"It's highly likely. His appearance that day was completely unexpected; no one had seen him before."

"He’s not Liu Yunyun’s crazed admirer after all. This outcome..." Some were amazed, while others took pleasure in the misfortune. The Liu family members looked particularly displeased, and Liu Yunyun urgently signaled Quan Feiyan to step forward.

"Hmph! Nonsense! If you’re backing out and afraid to face me, just say so!" Quan Feiyan retorted sharply.

Woo Zhengyang chuckled softly, "Are you sure you want to challenge me? A fight to the death?"

"Of course!"

"Hmph! What’s the point of picking on someone who's seriously injured? I’ll take you on instead!" Han Shanyuan seemed to have realized something and stood up abruptly.

"Mr. Han, today’s matter concerns my daughter. If you and Mr. Quan duel, it would be without cause. If you truly wish to participate, you can challenge the winner afterward," Patriarch Liu advised.

Han Shanyuan glanced at Liu Yunyun again, his expression neutral. "I thought she was a pure lotus rising unstained from the mud, but it turns out she’s just a weed with no substance. I was naive to have misjudged her! This battle is not about anything else; I simply want to compete with the top Martial Disciple of Tianjue City!"

With Han Shanyuan’s words, everyone sensed the chill in his heart. He no longer held any illusions about Liu Yunyun.

"Hmph, just a self-deluded fool!" Liu Yunyun, always proud, was visibly furious upon understanding Han Shanyuan’s implication.

"Today is the Liu family's banquet. If you two have a score to settle, perhaps you could wait until after the event. Or are you planning to use your father's influence, Mr. Quan?" Patriarch Liu said coldly.

The Liu family invited Han Shanyuan to this banquet intending to use Quan Feiyan to put him in his place. However, they didn't expect this young man to be swayed by Woo Zhengyang's words and cause such a scene. Naturally, Patriarch Liu was no longer polite.

"No worries. If he really wants to join in, he can come at me with that kid. I, Quan Feiyan, will take them both on!" Quan Feiyan chuckled as he spoke, then walked toward a cleared area in the courtyard that the Liu family had prepared.

Han Shanyuan was about to follow when Woo Zhengyang stopped him, smiling lightly. "Since you know it's not worth it, why get involved? Just enjoy the show!" With that, Woo Zhengyang patted Han Shanyuan's shoulder and headed toward the open space.
