Illicit Relationship



'Look at them! They only won the first fight, but they are already so happy about it.'

Fu Lim's lips curled up into a smirk.

'I think it's time to carry out our plan.'

With that idea in mind, he turned his head to look at Gaozhi.

"You will fight next." Fu Lim stated. "Let's carry out our plan now."

"Understood, village head." Of course, Gaozhi knew what their plan was.

Huang Hu grabbed his spear tightly when he saw Gaozhi stepping forward.

'It seems like it's my turn now.'

He thought Gaozhi would challenge him because Gaozhi wanted to defeat him so badly until now.

However, his guess was wrong because Gaozhi did not choose him as his opponent. "I choose Qiao Luli as my opponent."

Fu Lim and the others knew that Qiao Luli had broken through to the mid-level master stage, so it did not break the rules because she and Gaozhi were on the same level now.

And Gaozhi chose her as his opponent not without purpose because everything was premeditated.

Yes, they wanted to mentally attack Wu Lei!

They knew how deep his love was for his granddaughter, so they believed he would not be able to think straight if something bad happened to Qiao Luli.

That was why Fu Lim and the others decided to attack Wu Lei through Qiao Luli.

"Gaozhi, choose me if you dare! Don't you always want to determine who is stronger among us?" of course, Huang Hu would not let Gaozhi fight Qiao Luli because he did not want something bad to happen to her.

Xiao Tian and Xing Juzong were shocked.

'Hmm? He chose Luli?'

They shifted their gaze from Gaozhi to Qiao Luli.

"Huang Hu, I will fight you later, but I want to fight her now." even though Gaozhi really wanted to fight Huang Hu, but he could not do that now because he had to follow their plan.

Everything was for the sake of his village, so he had to suppress his desire to fight Huang Hu.

"No! I refuse this!" Wu Lei refused instantly. "She is not a participant, so you can't challenge her. She only came to watch the duel, nothing more than that."

"Wu Lei, she came to this place with you, so she is a participant by default. You can't act as you please in this place. Did you forget the rules?" Fu Lim tried his best to get Gaozhi to fight against Qiao Luli.

"Gaozhi, choose me if you dare! Or are you a coward now? Challenging a girl much younger than you, do you have no shame now?" Huang Hu tried to make Gaozhi angry, hoping it could change his mind.

"Like I said, I will fight you later." Gaozhi still acted normally. 

"Grandpa, it's fine. I will fight him." Qiao Luli was not afraid of Gaozhi.

She also did not think that she would lose to Gaozhi, so she wanted to try fighting him.

"No! Gaozhi, change your opponent! She is not a participant." Wu Lei stared at Gaozhi before shifting his gaze to Fu Lim.

'Evil bastards!'

He cursed venomously in his heart.

"I don't want to change my opponent. I want to fight her!" Gaozhi refused instantly. "She and I are on the same level, so I don't break the rules. Or has Solaris village become a coward village now?"

Whatever happened, he had to fight Qiao Luli and beat her up, so he started making fun of them.

"I think you are right, Gaozhi. The Solaris village has become a coward village now!" Fenhua added.

"Haha. Then you guys should change your village's name from Solaris to Coward. Haha." The Sanlow village people laughed mockingly.

Wu Lei gritted his teeth.

He hated it when they said Solaris village was a coward village, but at the same time, he did not want his granddaughter to fight Gaozhi.

Even though Gaozhi and Qiao Luli were on the same level, but he was the strongest person in Sanlow Village's younger generation.

Qiao Luli just broke through to the mid-level master stage, and she didn't have much fighting experience, so it was dangerous.

The risk was too high!

He did not dare to take the risk because the consequences could be fatal.

'Then there is only one choice for me now.'

He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

'I'm sorry, everyone. I will properly apologize to you guys later.'

His love for his granddaughter was so deep so he chose to protect her over maintaining the village's pride.

"We lost the second match!" Wu Lei stated. "Let's continue to the next match."

The people from Solaris village did not say anything. 

Actually, they had guessed something like this would happen because they knew how deep his love was for his granddaughter.

Of course, they did not blame him because he was a grandfather before a village head. And there were still many matches, so the possibility of them winning the duel was still high.

However, Qiao Luli did not accept it. Sure, she knew her grandfather was doing it for her own good, but she still did not accept it.

She was a martial artist and a member of the village guard, so she did not want to be protected all the time.

She wanted the freedom to determine everything for herself!

She felt like she was a kid if he kept protecting her. That was why she wanted him to start believing in her.

She wanted him to know that she was not weak.

'Hmf! Grandpa is so annoying!' 

She wanted to prove to everyone that she was not weak.

"I accept your challenge." After saying that, Qiao Luli walked closer to Gaozhi.

"Luli, stop! What are you doing?" of course, Wu Lei wanted to stop her because it was dangerous to fight Gaozhi.

"Wu Lei, she has accepted the challenge, so don't stop her!" Fu Lim's lips curled up into a grin when he saw Qiao Luli walking closer to Gaozhi.

'Good!'

He added in his mind.

Huang Hu rushed toward Qiao Luli and grabbed her right hand. "Luli, come back!"

"Hu, let go of me!" Qiao Luli was unhappy with Huang Hu's actions.

Of course, Huang Hu ignored her words. "Gaozhi, if you are a man, fight me! You are a sissy if you still want to fight her."

"Luli, come back here!" Wu Lei uttered, "I will kick you out of the village guard squad if you don't listen to me."

"Grandpa, I'm not weak. Let me fight him!" Qiao Luli shouted back.

"Luli, listen to village head." Huang Hu uttered, "If you want to fight someone, I will spar with you after returning to the village." 

"No!" after saying that, Qiao Luli freed herself from him. "I'm not weak, and I'm also a member of the village guard!"

"Luli, listen to your grandpa!" Huang Hu raised his voice.

"NO!" Qiao Luli refused. "I will fight him and show everyone that I'm not weak!"

"Huang Hu, go back to your place now." Fu Lim uttered, "Don't disturb the duel!"

Huang Hu ignored Fu Lim and looked at Wu Lei, asking for his opinion.

Like before, the people from Solaris village did not say anything and let Wu Lei decide everything.

Of course, Wu Lei knew that his actions could hinder her from becoming a powerful martial artist because she needed a lot of fighting experience to become a strong martial artist.

However, her opponent was someone from Sanlow village, their mortal enemy. He was afraid that he would regret his decision later.

This was why he did not want her to accept the challenge because the risk was too high.

"Grandpa…" Qiao Luli really hoped Wu Lei would not stop her again.

"Elder Lei, I think you should let her fight him." Xing Juzong spoke abruptly. "Let her gain fighting experience. We will stop the fight immediately if her life is in danger."

Wu Lei looked at Xing Juzong before shifting his gaze to Qiao Luli.

He took a deep breath before finally exhaling. "Alright. You can fight him."

"Village head?!" Huang Hu disagreed with Wu Lei's decision because he knew Gaozhi's personality.

"Hu, come back here." Wu Lei hoped he would not regret his decision later. 

"Luli, surrender immediately if you can't beat him." Huang Hu uttered, "Don't worry. We will definitely win this duel." 

"Un." Qiao Luli nodded her head.

Gaozhi's lips curled up into a grin. "Then let's start the duel now."
