As the duel was about to begin, the whole arena was set ablaze with excitement.
A spectator asked, "Who's that woman wearing a veil?"
"You don't know? She's the Su Clan's ugly freak, the ugliest woman in all of Yun Province. They say she can't practice martial arts and argues with the Su Clan patriarch every day, so they threw her into the competition," someone replied.
A spectator in front looked surprised and turned around. "I heard that ugly freak got her looks back, though. No idea if it's true."
"Of course it's false. How could she recover that easily?"
Many people nearby chimed in, insisting it was just a rumor. There was no way the ugliest woman in Yun Province could become beautiful. She just wasn't fated for it, you know?
But just then, another deep voice rang out.
"Of course it's true. Su Yuexi is now the most beautiful woman in Yun Province."
At his words, everyone turned to look. A tall, straight-backed figure had suddenly appeared among them. His face was sharply chiseled, and his eyes gleamed with a piercing light, giving off an intimidating presence.
It was none other than Sikong Jing, who had rushed to the Martial Arts Arena after returning to the city.
"You've got to be joking. If Su Yuexi is the most beautiful woman in Yun Province, I'll eat shit upside down."
The spectator who had just called it a rumor spoke viciously, even swearing a solemn oath.
The people around him laughed scornfully, convinced it was impossible.
Compared with the whole of Yunye City, those who had attended the Su Clan's birthday banquet were only a drop in the ocean. Few people believed what they said; everyone treated it as an absurd joke.
Sikong Jing couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.
