Chapter 176: Poison
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The compet.i.tion was held in the largest martial arena in Tianjing City.
The selection tournament garnered the attention of a mult.i.tude, taking place once every three years. On this momentous day, an endless stream of spectators flocked to witness the event.
Unfortunately, the venue was limited, and only up to ten thousand people could enter to watch the compet.i.tion.
Today was no exception, and the stands of the martial arena were filled with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Steward w.a.n.g waited at the entrance and, upon seeing Gu Qingluan and the others getting off the carriage, his eyes lit up, immediately greeting them, “First Lady, Young Master, you’ve finally arrived. The Family Head and the others have been waiting inside, and I was sent to welcome you.”
The group followed Steward w.a.n.g into the martial arena and headed for an excellent position close to the fighting stage.
The front rows near the stage were reserved for the four major families and the royal family.
Gu Qingluan spotted many familiar faces, and Tang s.h.i.+jun, who was in the second row, excitedly waved at her.
Gu Qingluan smiled lightly, acknowledging the greeting.
Tang s.h.i.+jun became even more thrilled upon receiving a response.
However, another woman beside Tang s.h.i.+jun said something to her, making her retract her hand.
“Qingluan, you’ve come.”
A figure blocked Gu Qingluan’s path.
Gu Qingluan looked at the man before her and coldly said, “What’s the matter, Fifth Prince?”
“Qingluan, are you still angry with me? It’s okay; the prince here will wait until you’re no longer angry,” said Prince Qitian Yu, putting on an affectionate appearance.
The girls who admired him screamed, finding today’s affectionate Fifth Prince particularly charming, making their hearts pound.
Then, they turned their jealous gazes toward the woman standing opposite to Prince Qitian Yu, wanting to see who could captivate the heart of the Fifth Prince.
Upon seeing her, their jealousy intensified.
However, they couldn’t help but admit that the girl facing Prince Qitian Yu was beautiful, and her temperament was outstanding!
Many people had already recognized Gu Qingluan’s ident.i.ty.
Some individuals who hadn’t encountered her since her return to the capital inquired with others to learn about her ident.i.ty.
Upon learning that she was Gu Qingluan, they were all quite surprised.
When they found out that the child she was holding was her own, their feelings became even more complicated.
Ignoring how these women regarded Gu Qingluan, Gu Jinyue, who was sitting among the Gu family members, felt her jealousy grow wildly when she saw Prince Qitian Yu approach Gu Qingluan.
“You shameless s.l.u.t! You dare to seduce the Fifth Prince despite having an illegitimate child!” She cursed under her breath, turned her head, and whispered to Gu Jinrong, “Brother, if you come across that illegitimate child, don’t show any mercy!”
She wanted Gu Qingluan to understand that an illegitimate child would forever remain so and was unworthy of being a student at Qiankun Academy!
Gu Jinrong lifted his chin and glanced at Gu Qingluan and her entourage, coldly saying, “Rest a.s.sured, I won’t go easy on him when it comes to my future. 1 will definitely not go easy on him.”
Gu Jinyue leaned close to Gu Jinrong’s ear and whispered a few sentences.
Gu Jinrong was shocked.
“Are you out of your mind? What if someone discovers it in front of such a large crowd? Moreover, our uncle explicitly warned us not to provoke Gu Qingluan.”
His original intention was for Gu Xiaonan to lose the compet.i.tion, but he never thought of harming the other party.
Gu Jinyue handed him a small porcelain bottle. “Don’t worry; no one will see it. This poison is colorless and tasteless, and no one can detect it. Once affected, it will only cause the person’s arcane power to disappear temporarily. Even Gu Qingluan will think that the illegitimate child has simply exhausted his arcane power.”
“Where did you get this poison? Mr. Liu is at the Jun Residence; what if he intervenes and discovers it?”
A malicious glint flashed in Gu Jinyue’s eyes, “This was purchased at a high price in the black market. It’s an unbreakable poison. Even if Mr. Liu discovers it, it will be too late..”
