Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Xiao Hong Yu couldn't help but ask, "Since you knew they were lying, then why didn't you reveal it to the Spring Pavilion?"

"Is it useful? Every single one of them can tell by their words, and those who are black can be said as white. Even if I were to expose them, I am afraid that I would only be tricked! " Shu An smiled bitterly.

"Then tell me, where exactly are they lying? What is the truth? " Mo Yunzhong asked.

"Just say that the robbery on the road is full of loopholes! Everyone thought about it, according to the Ruyi Temple's explanation, the Liu brothers should have done it on purpose to test my Young Master's abilities, but when Young Master was sitting in a sedan, the three fools couldn't see his appearance, so what basis did they have to determine that the person in the sedan was Young Master Nan Gong? " Shu An asked.

"You mean, their goal is to rob the Dao?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"That's right!" Moreover, these words were later confirmed by Zhu Ergou! He said that he wanted to fish up some extra money, so he sent the Liu brothers to rob people outside the city! " Shu An huffed and puffed.

"Why didn't you say those words back then? If you had said them out loud, the people of the Ru Yi Hall definitely wouldn't have come out!" Xiao Hong Yu said.

"It's useless! Even if I were to tell them, they would find other excuses, such as saying that they were trying to judge our identities through me or the sedan chair. That way, we would still not be able to refute them! " Shu An smiled bitterly.

"But if you take out Zhu Ergou's words to refute, aren't they speechless?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

"That won't happen!" When the time comes, they will say that it was just an act to trick us. We still can't beat them! " Shu An smiled bitterly.

Xiao Hongyu could not help but ponder for a moment before asking, "Are there any other loopholes?"

"Of course!" Shu An thought for a while. "For example, since Miss Mo can't remember Young Master Nangong from two years ago, how could she possibly bear a grudge from a childhood misunderstanding? Furthermore, she is already so old, and she still wants to avenge a childhood misunderstanding. Do you really think that makes sense?" Furthermore, even if she wanted to take revenge, there is no need for her to rely on the Ru Yi Hall's power. After all, the Cold Soul Villa possesses strength! "

After Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she turned to Mo Yunqi and asked, "Miss Mo, were you really here for revenge? Do you really hate Nangong Feiyu that much? "

Mo Yunqi gave a silly smile and said seriously, "I want to kill Nangong Feiyu, I want to take revenge, he's my enemy!"

"Miss Mo, you're actually so serious about the misunderstanding in your childhood?" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly.

"Little sister, did you really bribe the Ru Yi Hall for revenge?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

"I can't remember!" Mo Yunqi shook her head, her face revealed a painful expression, "My head hurts, it's about to explode! I can't take it anymore! "

As Mo Yunqi finished speaking, she couldn't help but to cover her head with her hands. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, causing Mo Yunzhou to feel heartache as he asked, "Miss, are you alright? Do you want a doctor? "

"You called her girl? Yun Zhou, why do you seem so foreign? " Mo Yun asked in shock.

After Mo Yunzhou heard that, he could not help but raise his eyes and think for a moment. Then, he shouted, "That's right, she seems to be my little sister! Sister, are you alright? "

When Xiao Hong Yu saw this, she couldn't help but fall into silence and asked: "Third Young Master Mo, where have you been these past few days? "Do you still remember?"

"I'm in Yang Zhou city!" Mo Yunzhou happily laughed, "This place is too fun!"

"I remember that young master Nangong had said that you were captured by people from the Ru Yi Hall. In order to save you, your sister had no choice but to assassinate Nangong Feiyu. How much do you know about this?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Is there such a thing?" Mo Yunzhou smiled bitterly, "I've never heard of this matter!"

At this time, Mo Yunqi suddenly ran around the house and could not help but shout, "Don't kill my third brother! I will agree to your request, I will go and kill Nangong Feiyu right now! Nangong Feiyu, come out! "" Nangong Feiyu, come out! "

When the crowd saw the fear and anxiety on her face, it was as if she had lost her mind. They didn't know what to do.

Mo Yunqi giggled for a moment and then suddenly sat down weakly. Her eyes were filled with tears as she muttered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have killed you. I really didn't do it on purpose! Nangong Feiyu, can you forgive me? "

"What happened to her?" Mo Yun could not help but be bewildered, he really did not understand the situation in front of him.

"Her condition is very serious! It seems that there are a lot of things here! " As Xiao Hong Yu spoke, she hastily went to support Mo Yunqi's shoulder. However, she was pushed away by her and shouted, "Scram, don't touch me!"

Xiao Hong Yu knew that she was insane and her emotions were unstable, she was afraid that she would do something out of line, so she stretched out her index finger and touched her sleeping point, only to see Mo Yunzhou suddenly jumping up, and shouted: "You dare hit my sister, I'll kill you!"

Just as he was about to kill Xiao Hong Yu, he felt his waist go numb and his mind suddenly felt dizzy. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and was then held by Mo Yun as he asked with some sadness, "Third brother, what happened to you?"

"Looks like there's something wrong with the both of them. They must have been drugged!" Xiao Hong Yu gave a wry smile. "I never thought that the Ru Yi Hall would go all out in order to cover up the truth!"

"Miss Xiao, do you have any way to save them?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

"I'm not a doctor, how can I save you?" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly, "It looks like if I want to save them, I'll have to make a trip to Ming Yang Inn!"

"You can't be thinking of asking the people from the Ru Yi Hall for the antidote, right?" Mo Yun asked in shock.

"I'm not that stupid!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly, "Aren't they recruiting people? "I also happen to want to register. Who knows, I might use this opportunity to solve all the mysteries here!"

"You want to use your identity as a contestant to sneak into their guild before you find out the truth?" Mo Yunzhong asked.

"This is the only way to uncover the truth!" Xiao Hong Yu said with a dark face.

"But it's too dangerous!" Mo Yun reminded.

"If we don't get into the tiger's den, how can we get into the tiger's den?" Xiao Hong Yu smiled confidently, "Just wait for my good news!"

After she finished speaking, she left the room. As expected, her target was the famous inn!

Just as Wu Xiangdao had said, there was indeed someone in charge of handling the beauty contest in this restaurant. As long as you asked, there would be someone who would bring you upstairs to register, and that was what Xiao Hongyu had done.

This was an extremely ordinary room. The room was cleaned up, but very few people had appeared here!

Xiao Hong Yu walked into the room with doubt in her eyes. Immediately, a thirty-six to thirty-seven year old man with a moustache came out and greeted her, "Young lady, are you here to register for the beauty contest?"

Xiao Hong Yu nodded and walked to the table to sit down. She asked, "What do I need to do?"

The man looked Xiao Hong Yu up and down before he smiled and said, "Based on young lady's beauty, you can pass the interview, but …"

"But what?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"However, there are a lot of contestants in this beauty contest. If Miss wants to stand out, she has to do some homework!" That person smiled as if he wanted to say something.

"Do my homework?" Xiao Hong Yu smiled. "What kind of lesson?"

"For example, talent, clothing, or …" That person smiled but did not say anything. His right index finger was gently moving around the corner of the table. The meaning was really not easy to understand!

"If you have something to say, just say it! If I can do it, I will definitely do my best! " Xiao Hong Yu said calmly.

That person smiled and said, "Lady, you look so beautiful. If you can successfully advance, you will have a chance to become the champion. So, I advise you to prepare some silver coins to save yourself a lot of resistance so that you won't be able to ascend to the throne."

"Oh?" Xiao Hong Yu's face was a little unhappy at that moment, and she sneered: "What, isn't the beauty contest a fair competition? Why did you have to fake it? "

"Lady, you're wrong!" That person sighed, "There is no shortage of handsome people in this year's beauty contest, and there are even more talented people. What does Miss want to win first place for? Isn't it up to the judges to vote? But the judges didn't know the girls well, and they didn't even know each other. They had to see something before they could vote for you, right? "So …"

"So if you want to be the champion, you have to prepare well for the judges. Otherwise, even if you have the strength, you won't be able to ascend to the throne!" Xiao Hong Yu said coldly.

"You are truly intelligent!" The man stroked his moustache and laughed.

"Then, how much do I need?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"There are a total of ten judges, and they are all important figures in the martial arts world. These people do not lack money, so it is useless to move them. If there are too many of them, this lady will not be able to afford it, so …" That person wanted to say something but hesitated. His pair of eyes secretly sent out waves, but the meaning behind them was hard to fathom!

"From what you're saying, could it be that you want me to seduce him?" Although Xiao Hong Yu didn't want to say it too clearly, she was in a hurry to get to the bottom of this and couldn't care less about the embarrassment on her face!

When that person heard this, he couldn't help but slam the table and say with a smile, "Lady sure has her methods. However, this is only one of them. There are many ways to achieve one's goal!"

"Oh?" Xiao Hong Yu initially wanted to slap him so that he could turn his face into a pig-head. Now that she heard his words had a deeper meaning, she could only bear with it and continue to ask, "Is there any other way?"

"Raise the flag to become the skin of a tiger!" The man smiled meaningfully.

"How?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"There's an important figure in the judges. His identity is so mysterious that even I can't fathom it. If the lady can find him and meet him once, maybe she can successfully become the champion without spending money or paying a price!" The man laughed softly.

"Oh?" Xiao Hong Yu smiled bitterly, "This person can control the entire situation?"

"That's right!" "He is an outstanding figure. Not only does the Ru Yi Hall not dare to offend him, no one in the entire world would dare to offend him!" That person said.

"Is that so? Other than the emperor, no one else in the world would dare to say such words. Isn't the person you're talking about the emperor? " Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Of course not the Emperor!" That person smiled bitterly, "How could someone who has lived for ten thousand years go to this gathering? "Young lady must be joking!"

"Hearing you say this, I really want to meet that mysterious person! After all, in the entire world, I have not met many people who I dare not offend! " Xiao Hong Yu said coldly.

"What is the name of this lady?" That man finally realized that he had said too much. The key was that he had no idea about the woman in front of him!

"My surname is Xiao and my name is Red Jade. I come from Cloud Restaurant!" Xiao Hong Yu said indifferently.

"Ah?" You are Xiao Hong Yu? " That person was slightly surprised, "Woman Xiao, it was all my nonsense just now. Please don't take it to heart!"

"What's going on?" Xiao Hong Yu sneered, "I originally wanted to thank you for your straightforward words, but why did you cover it up?"

That person's face was in a panic, he anxiously said: "Young Hero Xiao, it's all because I drank too much last night, that's why I made such a big fuss. I hope that you will take care of me, on the account of my lowly status, or else, once this matter spreads out, my little life will be over!"

Xiao Hong Yu rubbed her nose and asked, "My nose is always sensitive, why can't I smell the alcohol on you? Furthermore, you only spoke the truth, is there a need for you to lose your life? "

"Witch Xiao!" That person panicked and kneeled to the ground, "Take it as me begging you, you have to take responsibility!"

When Xiao Hong Yu saw his reaction, she could not help but be confused: "You get up and speak first!"

"Young Hero Xiao, if you do not agree to my request, I will not dare to get up!" the man said firmly.

"Alright, I promise you!" But you have to answer a few questions for me! " Xiao Hong Yu said.

"Of course you can!" That person quickly got up from the ground, "Woman Xiao, what do you want to know?"

"Why do you say that when you see me? Do you treat anyone like that?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not! It is only because I have seen your beauty and guessed that you have the potential to become the champion, that I forgot to tell you directly.

"Let me ask you again, where did the insider information you spoke of come from?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Of course, it's the internal secrets of the Ru Yi Hall!" That person said.

"How did you know it was a secret?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Lady, you are really good at asking. I am a person of the Ru Yi Hall, how could I not know the details?" The man smiled bitterly.

"Since you have the guts to speak of this matter, why are you afraid of others announcing it to the public? Are you trying to bind yourself?" Xiao Hong Yu laughed coldly.

"Young lady does not know that the rules of the competition have already been set. Every contestant who manages to enter the competition, even if they don't win the championship, will be rewarded with at least a hundred silver taels. Some of these girls are beautiful, but their strength is not enough. I only need to scare her a little and she will know the difficulties of retreating. This way, our Ru Yi Hall won't have to pay them the silver taels that are worth one hundred silver taels! " That person said with a sincere expression.

"So that's how it is! But if they insist on participating, won't they still get the reward? " Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Even so, many young ladies are pure and kind. Once they heard the inside story, they are no longer in the mood to register!" The man laughed.

Xiao Hong Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "It is rare for your Ru Yi Hall to hold a grand meeting, yet you did this secretly. If it were to spread to the martial arts world in the future, wouldn't you be ridiculed by the world?"

That man smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to be ridiculed than to have your money taken out, right? To be honest, our Ru Yi Hall has suffered a great loss in order to prepare for this gathering. Furthermore, we have been running a lot of affairs in the hall and are running out of money, so we have no choice but to do this! "

When Xiao Hong Yu heard this, she gave a bitter smile and said, "This is really slapping my face to make it look fat. The one that is suffering is ultimately myself!"

"Woman Xiao's words pierce through the heavens. She is indeed powerful! However, we can only do as we're told. As for the rest, we don't have the right to care about them! " The man sighed.

"One last question. What's your name?" Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"Does Hero Xiao have a deeper meaning behind her question?" The man asked with a frown.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. I won't make things difficult for you!" Xiao Hongyu faintly smiled, "I've already reported this name. As for whether or not I can become the champion, that's up to fate!"

"Yes sir!" That person immediately opened the namelist on the table and wrote down Xiao Hong Yu's name before saying: "Next month's Mid-Autumn Festival, we will be having a beauty contest at the Top Scorer Restaurant. Miss, you can come find me here one day earlier, and at that time, I will personally inform you about the competition."

"Didn't you say that you want to level up? Don't you need more interviews before that? " Xiao Hong Yu asked.

"With a girl's looks, why try again? It's just a waste of time! " The man laughed.

"You really know how to talk. I didn't come here for nothing!" Xiao Hong Yu smiled.

"Respectfully sending off the young lady!" The man closed the register and smiled humbly.
