Chapter 1069: Chapter 1112: Expert Xu Shanshan

Li Yifei and the girls had already returned to their seats by this time, with Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying sitting beside him. Although no one had ever been ranked above or below anyone else in front of Li Yifei, in everyone’s hearts, Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying still had the highest prestige there. Xu Yingying whispered, "Can she handle it? We can’t afford to lose any of the next three matches."

Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "They’re not even fit to carry our shoes."

But before the sound of his voice had faded, the match on the field had already ended—the Saintess had sent that expert flying out with a single palm strike.

Normally, that expert wouldn’t have been so quickly dealt with by the Saintess, but the Saintess was a woman, and not just any woman, but a beautiful one. With a smile at that guy, he was somewhat distracted. The Saintess was already a master among masters, with strength far surpassing his. When her palm struck, he realized too late and failed to use his full strength to resist, naturally resulting in the Saintess settling the score with a single blow.

"Yifei, I didn’t embarrass you, did I?" the Saintess asked with a mischievous smile upon returning to Li Yifei’s side.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "No, you definitely didn’t embarrass me."

"Thanks for the compliment." After speaking, the Saintess smiled at Su Mengxin and the others, then sat down beside the group. She didn’t swell with pride but instead came across as very modest, which greatly increased everyone’s fondness for her.

Wei Zijun and the others were exchanging glances at this point, thinking that the match had ended too quickly. They had already sensed that Yanzi was no ordinary person, but they hadn’t expected her to be so formidable. One of their experts had been defeated without managing to take even a single hit, which was incredibly embarrassing.

At four to three, with the Saintess’s victory adding considerable pressure to Wei Zijun and his companions, they only needed to win one of the last two matches. However, with Li Yifei’s return and the Golden Eagle’s acknowledged strength, it was common knowledge that no one from the family attending could be his match. That meant, apart from the match against Li Yifei, they had to win the rest; otherwise, they would be the losers.

Looking over the people behind him, Wei Zijun pointed at one and said solemnly, "Uncle, it’s your turn. No matter what, you can’t lose."

The chosen one was an elder in his sixties with a goatee and wearing a light-colored silk Tang Suit, exuding an air of ethereal daoist presence. He wasn’t Wei Zijun’s actual uncle but a family retainer of the Wei Family, serving for over forty years. He had been recognized as a family deity over a decade ago and was unquestionably the most skilled martial artist among them.

The elder nodded, didn’t say anything, and stepped into the arena with his hands clasped behind his back.

Meanwhile, Meng Qianjun was still staring at Li Yifei. If Li Yifei entered the fray in this match, they would immediately change their contender. This expert had to be saved for the most stable match.

"Hubby, who should we send out for this match?" Xu Yingying asked worriedly, looking at Li Yifei. Now they only had Li Yifei as their sole expert, and this match, like the others, allowed no room for defeat.

Li Yifei said with a sly grin, "Shanshan, it’s your turn to enter the ring."

Xu Shanshan immediately waved her hand excitedly and said, "Alrighty!"

"Shanshan..." Everyone from the Li family called out in astonishment, staring at Xu Shanshan. They all knew exactly what Xu Shanshan was capable of—sending her into the match at this point was tantamount to conceding defeat.

Xu Yingying was the first to protest excitedly, "Hubby, how can this be right? Shanshan doesn’t know martial arts, how can she go in?"

"Yeah, yeah, you can’t let Shanshan go."

"Uncle, you aren’t forsaking us, are you? Planning to give us away?"

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Just watch—Shanshan will bring home victory."

Xu Shanshan also smiled proudly and said, "You’re actually underestimating me. Today, I will show you just how amazing I am." Saying so, Xu Shanshan suddenly leaped up, drawing a beautiful arc through the air. With a four or five-meter distance, she effortlessly soared over.

This left Xu Yingying and the others flabbergasted. After a long moment, Xu Yingying turned to Li Yifei and asked, "Hubby, what’s going on with Shanshan?"

Li Yifei held Xu Yingying’s hand and said, "Don’t worry. Shanshan had a fortuitous encounter, and she’s suddenly become a top expert—now I’m not even sure I could beat her."

"No way? Is that even possible?" Xu Yingying was almost disbelieving her own ears.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "It’s true. Let’s settle things here first, and then we can have a proper chat, but now, let’s watch Shanshan’s performance."

Xu Shanshan had already approached the elder, eyes wide with determination, "Old man, please don’t pretend to be a sage with your hands behind your back there. It’ll be even more embarrassing for you when I defeat you."

The elder’s expression darkened, "Child, mind your language."

"Tsks tsk tsk," she mocked, "such a profoundly feigned act. Coming here to seize property and wives, yet still pretending. You should be brutally wicked; that would be more fitting for your status."

"Quit boasting and just fight. I’ll let you have three moves," the elder said, watching Xu Shanshan’s nimble approach. Although light, he didn’t take her seriously. Over the years, he had seen many masters, but few could truly compete with him. And a young girl like this, even if she started training in her mother’s womb, would certainly not be his match.

"Alright, old man, prepare to take a beating," Xu Shanshan taunted with a confident laugh, and struck out with her palm.

The elder easily dodged Xu Shanshan’s palm with a slight side-step. Her successive punch missed as well, followed by a turning side kick that was smooth and adept. Even though none of the three moves hit the elder, anyone with a discerning eye could see Xu Shanshan was indeed a master, not merely putting on a show of fancy moves.

"Shanshan actually knows martial arts!" Su Yiyi couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Chu Xiaoyao immediately cried out in urgency, "Wow, Sister Shanshan is so impressive. Uncle, you have to teach me too, otherwise it’s just not fair."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "It’s a rare opportunity. Shanshan having such an experience is really unexpected. If you want to practice martial arts and reach Shanshan’s level, you’ll probably need at least ten years, not to mention you’ll have to endure a lot of hardship."

"Endure hardship? I’ll pass on that," Chu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue. She was not one to tolerate suffering.

Meanwhile, the fight was intensifying. The elder hadn’t taken Xu Shanshan seriously, thinking he could subdue her in under two minutes. But he quickly realized she wasn’t an easy opponent. In the beginning, her moves felt a bit rusty and disjointed, which gave him several opportunities to defeat her.

But amazingly, every time he thought he had her cornered, she would dodge miraculously with an odd stepping technique. As the fight progressed, her movements became more polished, her strikes increasingly forceful. Now it was a struggle even to hold his ground, let alone win.

Wei Zijun and Gu Yanan watched in astonishment. When had the Li family gathered so many strong women, particularly this Xu Shanshan? They had investigated her before and knew she was just Li Yifei’s wife’s twin sister, someone who didn’t know martial arts. How had she become so formidable?

Xu Shanshan was getting more and more thrilled with the fight. Over the years, she had come across a fortuitous adventure, an extraordinary one that she never even dared to dream about, suddenly turning her into a master. However, she had no idea how powerful she truly was; she only knew Li Yifei said she was formidable. She had sparred with Li Yifei a few times, but without any intention of competing, just to get familiar with what she learned. This was the first time she was truly fighting someone.

Her initial awkwardness quickly faded away as she became more spontaneous and comfortable with her striking. At this moment, she no longer saw her opponent as a challenge; she was just freely using what she had learned.

Xu Shanshan was at ease, while the elder was in deep trouble. He now lacked the strength to counterattack, could only defend himself, and had no way to fend off the onslaught of tight, powerful attacks. Each defense became increasingly strenuous.

"Thud!" With a muffled sound, the elder’s body flew through the air, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood before crashing to the ground. He struggled briefly but couldn’t get up, indicating the severity of his injuries.

Xu Shanshan lost her target and instinctively stopped, looking at the fallen elder confusedly, "Are you done fighting?"

"You..." The elder, already badly injured, felt insulted by Xu Shanshan’s words. Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted from anger.

The pressure was now on Wei Zijun and his comrades. The final battle would inevitably be against Li Yifei. With their strongest expert defeated, who could they send to fight Li Yifei now? Didn’t that mean they had lost the bet?

And there was Li Yifei, already leaping into the ring, gently patting Xu Shanshan’s shoulder, "Shanshan, leave the rest to me."

Xu Shanshan gave Li Yifei a playful smile, "Brother-In-Law, I was impressive, wasn’t I?"

Li Yifei responded with a smile, "Impressive indeed."

"Then it’s all up to you now. Beat them hard," Xu Shanshan said before moving aside, immediately surrounded by Xu Yingying and the others who barraged her with questions.

Li Yifei faced Meng Qianjun and shouted, "Meng Qianjun, it seems the outcome of this fight will depend on our battle."
