Chapter 514: Chapter 514: She and Qiao Xi Perish Together

That damn Xiang Mingzhu!

Why isn’t she at the Xiang Family’s place on such a late night? How did she end up at the hotel?

I haven’t heard of Xiang Mingzhu having a boyfriend; could it be a secret affair? Or perhaps a love that can’t see the light of day?

She wanted to take a closer look, but the receptionist hurried her to sign her name.

Huo Sijiao felt a bit of regret as she turned around to sign.

By the time she looked back, there was no one there.

Xiang Mingzhu had gone up from the elevator entrance, showing she had a room card and could go straight up.

It looked just like an affair.

Tsk!

She wasn’t wrong about Xiang Mingzhu; this woman is no good.

...

When Xiang Mingzhu arrived at her hotel room from the elevator, it was empty.

Zhong Yi had not arrived yet.

It wasn’t even nine o’clock yet, so it was normal.

She took out her powder and lipstick from her bag to touch up her makeup, bowed her head to sniff the perfume on her body, and sprayed it again. This perfume was the newly released "Man Killer."

It was irresistible to men, and they couldn’t defend against it.

Sometimes, perfume is the best flirting tool.

Xiang Mingzhu was satisfied as she smelled the scent on her wrist.

She looked around the hotel suite; it wasn’t her first time here. The last time she and Zhong Yi spent the whole night here, although she felt a bit sleepy towards the end, the thought of soon becoming Young Madam Zhong.

Fizzed her blood with excitement!

Just as she was considering whether to take a bath first and then change into a robe to see if she could settle things tonight.

Her phone rang.

It was her father, Xiang Hai’s call!

Xiang Mingzhu hesitated before answering the phone, "Hello, Dad."

"Where are you, Mingzhu?"

"I went out with friends, I won’t be home tonight." Xiang Mingzhu lied, as if Xiang Hai knew she had a date with Zhong Yi, he might break her legs.

Xiang Hai’s tone was clearly displeased.

"What are you running around for so late at night? I have urgent matters for you."

"Dad, just tell me over the phone what it is."

Xiang Hai was silent for a while before he said, "You barely made it to the first round of the trial competition, and that Cheng Han’s apprentice is still a threat. The Lu Family intends for you to make a move in the second round; this was decided from the start. Your seat is right next to Qiao Xi, the most convenient and most motivated position. Because you two already had a feud from the preliminaries."

Xiang Mingzhu was incredulous: "You want me to go down with Qiao Xi? The rules of the final are not the same as the preliminaries! If I meddle, I’ll be disqualified too. Then there will be nothing but curses at me online. Dad, I’m your own daughter. Have you all decided to sacrifice me for Lu Yingxue’s sake?"

She had been aware of this issue before.

But it was far from the disappointment and heartache of hearing it from her father’s mouth.

She was just a stepping stone for Lu Yingxue.

"Even if you barely stay, you won’t win; we’re all clear on how much you’re worth! Mingzhu, don’t be stubborn. You must think of family honor; if your cousin wins, it means both our families win."

Xiang Hai advised sternly.

Xiang Mingzhu’s good mood for the night was all ruined, and she remained silent.

"Mingzhu, you have to think clearly. No matter what, you must find a way to eliminate Qiao Xi in the second round, because your uncle said there is a variable in the second round. The successor to the Gold Needle Technique, Elder Huang, might attend. If your cousin shines, she might even be taken as his sole disciple."

The successor to the Gold Needle Technique?

Xiang Mingzhu’s breathing became unstable, why should all the good things fall on Lu Yingxue’s head?

She, Xiang Mingzhu, was just a blade of grass!

"I’ve entrusted you with the task, I hope you don’t let us down. As long as Qiao Xi is out, all is well."

Xiang Hai hung up the phone mercilessly.

Xiang Mingzhu slammed her phone onto the hotel’s coffee table, all the jealousy and bitterness in her heart bursting forth.

Why!

She didn’t want to pave the way for Lu Yingxue.

But she couldn’t disobey the family’s orders.

As long as Qiao Xi was out...

A sudden idea flashed through Xiang Mingzhu’s mind, it wasn’t necessarily up to her to eliminate Qiao Xi.

This method would serve both of their interests!

It would not draw the elders’ attention to her, and she could complete their command.

Xiang Mingzhu’s red lips curled into a sneer.

Nobody would have expected her to compete with Lu Yingxue! It was time to show her true abilities, she was the dark horse!

Just as she was thinking,

The mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, and a new message popped up.

Xiang Mingzhu picked it up and saw it was from Wan Jiang. He said that Young Master Zhong couldn’t make it tonight because Miss Lu was holding him up!

Xiang Mingzhu felt even more resentful in her heart.

Lu Yingxue, you bitch!

Xiang Mingzhu, wearing high heels, walked straight out of the hotel room!

Remembering that this hotel was where the contestants of the acupuncture trial conference were staying, she suddenly had an idea!

Being close to the water, shouldn’t one take the opportunity to plan carefully?

...

The next day.

A huge uproar erupted online!

The Chinese medicine forum reached its peak traffic with a news that left everyone stunned.

"Master Huang Bingyi, a renowned successor of the Gold Needle Technique, will shortly arrive in the Imperial Capital to serve as a judge for the acupuncture trial conference!"

Who was Huang Bingyi?

He rose to fame earlier than Cheng Han, and was even more eccentric than Cheng Han.

He had declared that if he couldn’t find a suitable successor, he would rather let the Gold Needle Technique die out!

Although he didn’t bear the title of National Doctor, his influence outweighed that of Cheng Han!

This news caused a huge stir.

"It is said that Miss Lu has put her pride aside to invite him, stating that her father serving as a judge would be unfair to other contestants."

"She managed to invite Master Huang who has been in seclusion for years, perhaps he sees potential in her and wants to pass on the Gold Needle Technique!"

"My goodness! She must be the chosen daughter of the heavens."

"The Lu family father and daughter are of excellent character and great virtue."

The overwhelming praise also included mockery and disdain for Qiao Xi, implying she was mediocre and no match for Lu Yingxue.

As Lu Yingxue had anticipated, her prestige among colleagues soared in no time, and television stations were rushing to cover stories about Huang Bingyi and the Gold Needle Technique.

What a strategy!

The Lu father and daughter had succeeded!

If Lu Yingxue were to emerge as the champion in the acupuncture trial conference, she would be the biggest winner in the Chinese Medicine Community of the decade!

The Lu Family could potentially leap to become one of the Four Great Families in the year-end selection, with nobody able to shake the position of the Lu father and daughter in the Chinese Medicine Community again!

This acupuncture trial conference was, in essence, a gamble!

Everything was in place, all that was missing was the East Wind!

And that East Wind would be the good news of Lu Yingxue winning the championship!

...

Meanwhile, at the Huo Family’s Garden Villa.

Qiao Xi locked herself in her room to study the newly-published "Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles." Her intuition and talent were high, and she could perceive the fundamental differences between the Plum Blossom Nine Needles and the Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles.

It turned out that the Plum Blossom Nine Needles were the basic version of the Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles.

She had always thought the Plum Blossom Nine Needles were very intricate because she could never master the ninth needle. Yet, she didn’t realize that the secret of the ninth needle was hidden within the Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles, and without the preface of the Spiritual Pivot Nine Needles, she might never comprehend the Plum Blossom Nine Needles in her lifetime.

She read so intently that she lost herself.

For three straight days!

Neglecting sleep and food!

She didn’t bother with the online uproar, but Sun Weimeng couldn’t stand it and hired a bunch of trolls to speak up for Qiao Xi, which only intensified the controversy.

Like fire and water!

Mutual confrontation.

Their arguments led to a bet being made!

And this bet actually involved the parties concerned!

Sun Weimeng paced anxiously back and forth outside the bedroom in the corridor, looking at the tightly closed room door uneasily, "These two are just the same. One dealing with affairs in the study, the other in seclusion in the room. The competition is about to start soon, why are they not even a bit anxious?"

He sighed, "Old Chen, if Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou find out about the huge bet I made online, will they kill me?"

Old Chen chuckled, "The Young Madam is good-natured, she won’t blame you. But the Young Master will kill you."

He had caused a great disaster!

Sun Weimeng wiped his face and with a resigned to fate expression, knocked on the bedroom door.
