In the novel, Wu Qingge, the main character was actually an orphan child. Before he became a disciple in the Mount Hua Peak, he was once a beggar in the Empire of Wan Rong. He wandered here and there just to get a tiny pieces of food to quench his hunger.

And when he had grown into a fine and hardworking teenager, an owner of a resturant adopted him and fed him food, clothed him and gave him a warm place to sleep. Wu Qingge's only way to show his gratitude to the restaurant owner was to help him on his business. He served food to people whether they are commoners or nobles, cleaned the table and helped the owner in managing finances in the restaurant.

While he was working on the restaurant, a young noblewoman became his friend because he saved her from the drunk perveet men who were trying to attack her, and her name is Shan Ling. Even when she was still an adolescent, her beauty was incomparable and she was very sweet and kind.

After Wu Qingge saved her, she would always visit their restaurant and helped Wu Qingge on his work. Not until Shan Lang's fiance caught her with Wu Qingge and decided to make the restaurant go bankrupt and they charged them with high amount bills of money.

Wu Qingge's adopted grandfather, the owner of the restaurant couldn't take the stress anymore and died earlier, leaving Wu Qingge alone. When Wu Qingge was about to become a beggar again, his adopted grandfather left him a permit letter for him to join the Mount Hua Peak.

He was so grateful to the elder for giving him another meaning of life. After Wu Qingge leave at the Empire of Wan Rong, he and Shan Ling didn't meet each other again.

And now, who knew that she would appear here. This is not even mentioned in the novel. I'm not sure if i should trust the arranged events of the novel anymore because it became messed up. (╥﹏╥)

Chen Yi, who is sitting beside Peak Master Mo Xian, raised her eyebrows and looked down at Shan Ling with Her chin held high. She tapped her hands repeatedly in the chair's arm and slowly stood up and walking slowly down the arena. Once Chen Yi was already on the arena, wild noises and whistles were all heard.

"It's Chen Yi! The autumn fairy!"

"She was ranked eighth on the list! How amazing!"

"Her figure and face is so beautiful and elegant, but Shan Ling is also different....."

"Wow! A battle between a flower and a fairy!"

"I bet 70 Ling shi (spiritual stones) for Chen Yi!"

"I bet 300 Ling shi for Shan Ling!"

"I bet 500 for Shan Ling!"

"I bet 600 for Chen Yi!"

"Two beauties with a powerful character! How spectacular!"

The loud cheers and bets cotinued. Chen Yi and Shan Ling never pulled away their both eyes to each other, it was as if they were measuring their flaws and criticizing it. The maiden announcer hushed the cultivators and said:

Shan Lang giggled seductively and gtabbed her whip. It's length thud to the ground and a blue spiritual qi appeared, covering the whip starting from the grip unto the edge of the thong. " Shan Ling said with a sweet smile from her face, opposite from what she was saying.

What happened to you Shan Ling? You're supposed to be a sweet and calm type of woman! Now you're no different from a bitch who is the type of person who will talk behind people's back and poison them.

Chen Yi replied with a stoic expression and unsheathed her sword. The yellow blade shined as she infused her spiritual qi in it. Shan Ling laughed sweetly. she stepped forward and whispered to Chen Yi's ear.

Chen Yi's lips pursed and her grip on her sword became tighter. Shan Ling seemed to be satisfied from her expression and smiled sweetly. Chen Yi said loudly with a scowl on her face.

Liu Xiao burst into laughter. His voice echoed through the arena hall. He held his stomach while continued laughing and rested his hand on the shoulder of some random cultivator near him to support himself from losing balance. Bai Lan bit his lip to stop himself from laughing, All the Wan Zhan and Mount Hua Peak's disciples were ashamed when all the eyes were all on their direction, Wu Qingge was just looking at him with a slight smile on his face, Mo Xian scratched his head and awkwardly smiled to anyone and Tian Lang rolled his eyes while fanning himself.

The maiden announcer cleared her throat with a frown on her face. Liu Xiao stopped laughing and covered his hand while looking at the present cultivators. He cleared his throat and sat down on Chen Yi's chair to sipped on her tea like nothing happened. the maiden announcer said and a transparent crystal barrier appeared around the arena. All the cultivators glanced at Shan Ling who looked so red, ashamed of what happened and angrily turned to Chen Yi.

The whip covered in blue spiritual qi went to Chen Yi's direction like an attacking snake. Chen Yi bended her body to control her whole weight and jumped high to avoid the direct attack. Shan Ling immediately followed an attack using her palms and a blue needle shaped spiritual qi was released from her palms.

Chen yi slashed her sword repeatedly and a five claws of chrysanthemum blade flew through Shan Ling's direction. The 3 claws parried the small needles, the one was whipped by Shan Ling and the last was also dodged by her. Chen Yi was floating mid air and Shan Ling was below. They both glared at each other before continuing to fight.

Shan Ling said while throwinf her whip aggressively and fast at Chen Yi. Chen Yi replied while swinging her sword to counter the whip. If you look far, their moves didn't look graceful at all. It's more like aggressive and wild but in a fierce way.

Shan Ling said while twisting her back on Chen Yi's incoming sword. Chen Yi replied while continuing her attacks.

Shan Ling laughed and flicked her hand. A huge amount of spiritual qi that were shaped into a small needles appeared on her back. In the second flick of her hand, Shan Ling smile widened and the needle circled around Chen Yi in all directions. Chen Yi tsked and twist her whole body, making a circling motion and a huge image of s yellow chrysanthemum that was shaped by her spiritual qi appeared, blasting the small needles away.

Shan Ling followed another attack using her whip and wrapped it on Chen Yi's wrist and throw her up. Chen Yi, who was in mid air grabbed her sword tightly and gained momentum for her to safely land to the ground. She transferred her spiritual qi in her feet and a loud thud was heard when Chen Yi landed, all dust around.

Shan Ling scowled and put her hands on her waist. She said, putting sarcasm to her words. Chen Yi slowly stood up to her crouching position and replied, Chen Yi said with pure serene in her voice.

Shan Ling said, her lips smiling sweetly while emphasizing her body and face. Chen Yi snorted and replied,

Shan Ling rolled her eyes and gripped her whip tightly while she giggled mockingly. Chen Yi raised her eyebrow and replied again,

The wild battle earlier turned into a battle of words. The one who faltered, gets flustered and couldn't say another word will lose. Liu Xiao watched the two beautiful ladies exvhange words with each other. Even though he couldn't hear what they're saying because there was a barrier that blocks anything in the arena, their lips was opening slightly and motioned.

Haa.... Aren't modern women and cultivation women the same? Their fight always turn into battle of words. They became so satisfied seeing their opponent gets flustered if they hit their bullseye. Even i can't understand it! Isn't an actual battle better than using your mouth?

The two later on suddenly started fighting. Shan Ling used her whip to strike directly and Chen Yi parried it. Their fight continued longer while the cultivators silently watch, waiting the final results.

Both of them were out of breath and low on spiritual qi while they glared at each other. Shan Ling smiled while she catch her breath and spoke. Chen Yi flinched on what Shan Ling said.

Her eyebrows furrowed and later on, came back into a stoic expression. Shan Ling felt jer victory when she saw Chen Yi changed her expression and continued, Shan Ling smiled sweetly.

Chen Yi replied. Shan Lang's alluring face narrowed and became furious. She let out a large amount of spiritual qi and turned it into a shape of a small needle and swiftly threw it to Chen Yi's direction. Even though her body was still panting, she raised her sword and make fifty consecutive slash and every slash she makes, the sword released two yellow shaped claws.

The whole arena became blurry and dusty for a long time. Loud thuds and banging sounds were heard in the foggy arena. A moment later, the arena became quiet and the fog disappeared slowly. The two beautiful ladies were both unconcious and lying on the ground.

The Maiden announcer was paused for a bit and loudly shouted after. after the maiden announcer said it, The white jade border flashed and Shan Ling's name was already written there.

"It's possible to have two names on one rank?!"

"I didn't even think of it..."

"To battle Chen Yi to this extent..."

"What a truly fierce battle!"

"Another beautiful and powerful woman emerged!"

"The battle was a draw!"

"All the bets we made was a waste."

"How surprising..."

Later on, four female servants appeared and put the two unconcious women and carried them carefully to the stretchers and walked away. After that fight, a few cultivators went on the arena to battle random people or their own friend only for fun. The other cultivators were bored and just talked to the other fellow cultivator about martial arts and peaks.

Liu Xiao was about to get some crackers displayed on the food table beside their balconies when a loud cheer of crowd was heard. Curious of what happened, Liu Xiao leaned on the edge of the balcony and focused his eyes on the figure who is standing on the arena alone.

The figure was tall man with a considered handsome face. His body is not that pale but a bit light, his light orange eyes were slanted, thick eyebrows, thin wide lips and sharp nose. His body was masculine unlike Liu Xiao's body. The man was wearing a dark blue robe with a gold embroidery pattern.

(Thousand Palms) the deep voice full of arrogance echoed throughout the arena. Lan Yang's eyes looked around the balcony and stopped at Liu Xiao's direction. He licked his lips hungrily and smirked widely then continued.
