Chapter 618

~4 min read 601 words

Didn't know what to say.

All the Wei family members turned back, staring at Zhao Chi.

The Wei family elder said: "Zhao Chi, you're very impressive, so don't take it personally against my daughter. I wish you victory in your remaining battles. Xiao Li, let's go."

So this person was Wei Li's father.

Wei Li still glared at Zhao Chi once more before finally leaving.

Zhao Chi also prepared to leave.

But he was held back by Zhao Huai.

"What's wrong, Eleventh Brother?"

Zhao Huai said: "Her Highness Gongsun probably has something to say to you. Stay a moment. Remember to be polite."

Zhao Huai tilted his head, gesturing toward the seated noblewoman.

Zhao Jiao gave Zhao Chi a look, then left.

Zhao Huai also left right after.

That noblewoman smiled at Zhao Chi, then said to the inspection staff: "You may all step down as well."

"Yes, my lord."

The staff quickly departed.

Only Zhao Chi and those three noblewomen remained in the review room.

"I'm Gongsun Ning, pleased to meet you. Come, have a seat."

The seated noblewoman lifted her chin slightly.

Zhao Chi didn't know what she intended, but he had no other choice.

He could only sit in the chair across from her.

Gongsun Ning smiled: "Don't be nervous. Not all nobles are the same. This virtual training ground is mine; it's very safe here."

Zhao Chi had known before that anyone who could open such a virtual training ground was essentially a noble.

Apparently it was indeed true.

Zhao Huai had just called her Her Highness Gongsun, so Zhao Chi needed to address her the same way.

After all, it had been said before that these nobles placed great importance on such titles.

"Her Highness Gongsun, what did you call me here for?"

Gongsun Ning smiled: "Her Highness Gongsun? You address me like that, and I'd think you were calling my father or brother. Use my full name."

"Oh, alright, Her Highness Gongsun Ning."

Gongsun Ning smiled: "Please, sit first. I didn't expect your strength to truly be this impressive. As a new lord, your future is limitless."

Zhao Chi sat down: "It's not that exaggerated."

"Your next opponent is Cao Feng. How about it, are you confident?"

Zhao Chi hesitated slightly.

Mainly because he couldn't figure out what she actually meant.

Although this woman appeared to have a warm smile, she might change her face the very next second.

Zhao Chi said: "Every opponent I've faced is very strong. I can only know after stepping onto the battlefield. I don't have much confidence right now."

Gongsun Ning smiled: "You don't need to be so modest. You even defeated Wei Li; a Cao Feng shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Zhao Chi said: "The Cao family is also a major clan in Nangu Village. I wouldn't dare underestimate them."

Gongsun Ning burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, since when does the Cao family count as a major clan? You're far too modest."

Zhao Chi wasn't being modest at all.

After all, compared to the Zhao family, the Cao family was indeed a major clan.

For other scattered households, the Cao family was even more an existence not to be provoked.

Of course, to the nobles, the Cao family was nothing but a fart.

Zhao Chi didn't reply.

He had nothing to say.

Gongsun Ning said: "This training ground is mine. Likewise, the bookmaker you're all betting with is also me."

No wonder...

No wonder the venue had so many betting stations, and those hosts kept urging everyone to place bets. So the noble behind it all was her.
