Chapter 574

"Alright, allocate your points the same way, then go train. Let's see how strong you are now."

"Understood!!"

The women's response this time was especially loud.

Without Zhao Chi needing to say it, they had long been unable to hold back.

They all wanted to see their current strength.

Zhao Chi already gave the word, so they grabbed their wooden spears and shields and went to train.

With 10 points in Spear, they no longer fought by brute-force stabbing.

They had already grasped some spear techniques.

Far more agile than in their previous fights.

Thrust, flick, pierce, parry, block — all of them could be put to use.

Now when they trained, they traded blow for blow; it had truly become sparring practice.

At this moment, Gu Qing and Yang Lu and the others teleported back.

Seeing Zhao Chi, Gu Qing happily came over.

"My lord, we're back."

Zhao Chi nodded: "How did it go?"

Gu Qing smiled: "There are still some animals left; we'll be done by tomorrow. Qiyue has been chopping trees the whole time — she alone, with her combat art, can match several professional lumberjacks. She's already cleared out a large open area."

"Looks like Qiyue really has taken a liking to chopping trees."

"Not at all. She heard you want to develop Penglai Village as soon as possible, so she's seriously chopping trees — to open up buildable land faster. Otherwise she'd definitely have gone off to train."

"So that's how it is."

"Mm, that girl Qiyue is very earnest and very obedient — a good Miss."

"How come whoever you talk about is a 'little girl'?"

Gu Qing laughed: "I'm twenty-six; Qiyue is only twenty. In front of me, she is a little girl."

Zhao Chi laughed: "You're not that old yourself. Let me tell you about this virtual battle."

"Oh, alright."

Gu Qing put away her smile and listened carefully.

After all, this battle would have spectators.

If those prizes weren't so temptingly good, Zhao Chi truly wouldn't have wanted to take part.

If he was going to compete, he had to take the championship.

He had to secure the priority pick and the quota of three items.

Otherwise it wouldn't mean much.

So he had to go all out.

Gu Qing had appeared in the Greater World before, but her identity was Zhao Chi's subordinate hero — no one would think that it had been Zhao Chi piloting her to the Fragrant Food Street.

Besides, Gu Qing had been wearing a mask and a cloak back then.

One could only tell she was a woman, but couldn't see her specific appearance.

So even now, the nobles' target of investigation is still the female lord.

Gu Qing fighting is no problem.

But this time, Gu Qing also can't be allowed to show her face and figure directly.

After all, she's too recognizable.

He couldn't let others form an impression.

Not just Gu Qing — Tang Ruan and Qiyue are the same.

Have the tailor sew a new face covering, and make it a different style from before.

A cape or cloak too, and a different style as well.

As for figure…

Gu Qing said: "When the time comes, I can wrap my chest with spider silk so others won't be able to tell."

"Good idea." Zhao Chi nodded: "Help Tang Ruan wrap up too."

"Hehe, got it. What about Qiyue?"

"Qiyue… probably doesn't need it."

"No good, she might feel left out. My lord, you have to treat everyone equally. And Qiyue has a C too — it's not exactly small."

"That's not what I meant. Then wrap her up a few turns too."
