Blade Mountain Traveler fell down? But he hadn't even fought yet. He wouldn’t get back up, would he? Old He pinched himself, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

He finally accepted the fact that Blade Mountain Traveler was knocked out by Gu Jiao's punch.

Taking advantage of everyone's dazed state, he squeezed through the crowd and approached the edge of the platform. He shouted at the judge who was striking the gong, "Why aren't you striking the gong yet? He won! He won!"

Old He was worried that Blade Mountain Traveler had just lost his footing and would get back up in a moment to beat Gu Jiao down. He wanted to end the fight quickly so that Blade Mountain Traveler could no longer retaliate.

As it turned out, Old He was overly concerned.

No matter how hard the judge struck the gong, Blade Mountain Traveler remained unconscious. Eventually, two staff of the underground arena were called to carry him away.

Old He was drenched in cold sweat.

This was too thrilling.

After that, Gu Jiao fought in two more matches, facing opponents who were not as strong as Blade Mountain Traveler, and she won with ease.

A person could only fight three matches in a day, which was the limit in the underground arena. Gu Jiao couldn't continue fighting and sighed as she stepped down from the platform.

She wasn't fond of fighting, but it was currently the best way for her to regain her past strength, and it also allowed her to earn some money.

Not many people bet on her this time, so the odds were high. However, due to her lower level, the payout was small, only ten taels of silver.

Gu Jiao wasn't in a hurry.

She collected the silver, adjusted her mask on her face, and turned to leave the accounting room.

"This kid is not bad." Zhu Yun said with a smile.

Gu Jiao didn't plan to stay in the underground arena for long. She had promised Little Jing Kong that she would pick him up from the Imperial Academy in the afternoon.

As she walked towards the exit of the underground arena, a young man dressed as a guard stood in her way to stop her. He said, "Heaven..."

The guard probably wanted to call her "Heaven Dominator" but felt too embarrassed to say such a name.

He clenched his teeth and said, "Young Master Heaven, my master requests your presence."

Gu Jiao was about to refuse, but then she remembered her role as a mute and reluctantly took out a small notebook.

At that moment, she envied Gu Chengfeng's skill of changing voices. It would have been so much easier if she could speak like a man too.

However, in the midst of this delay, Gu Jiao changed her mind.

She quickly wrote: ‘Silver.’

The guard was taken aback.

Gu Jiao wrote earnestly: ‘No silver, not going. Appearance fee, ten taels.’

The guard: "..."

It was a command from his master, so he had to bring her no matter what. Reluctantly, he took out ten taels of silver.

Gu Jiao pocketed the silver and went with him, giving them face.

To her surprise, it was another room with a hanging gourd.

Gu Jiao had already inquired about this. Rooms with hanging gourds generally belonged to the top thirty experts on the list. But of course, these rooms could also be obtained through certain special means.

For example, buying out a top expert would also grant the right to use the room.

Gu Jiao thought of Gu Changqing and wondered which category he belonged to.

Entering the room, she saw a man dressed in a brown brocade robe and wearing a jade mask.

The mask was beautiful, but it was too heavy and could easily fall off during a fight.

It seemed that this man was not here to fight in the arena. Nine times out of ten, he had obtained this room by purchasing a top expert.

"Young Hero Heaven, please have a seat." The man politely gestured to a chair under the head seat.

As soon as he spoke, Gu Jiao recognized who he was.

She never expected that this underground arena would have such hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Gu Changqing, the Marquis Estate's heir, and Qin Chuhan, an imperial prince of the State of Zhao, were both here.

Qin Chuhan was Ning Wang.

Gu Jiao recognized Ning Wang, but Ning Wang didn't recognize Gu Jiao at the moment.

Gu Jiao calmly took a seat without saying a word.

"Would the young hero like some wine or tea?" Ning Wang politely and elegantly asked.

Gu Jiao took out her notebook and wrote seriously: ‘I'm still young, I can't drink.’

Ning Wang was momentarily stunned, his gaze seemed to say— you're still young, yet you can come to such a dangerous place to compete in martial arts?

But Ning Wang was someone who had experienced many storms and waves. Naturally, he could handle a child like her. He smiled and said, "Alright, tea it is!"

A servant brought tea for Gu Jiao.

Soon, Gu Jiao noticed a problem. The mask she was wearing didn't expose her mouth, which meant she had to remove the mask to drink tea.

Wait a minute.

Was this Ning Wang being polite with her or was he trying to make her take off her mask?

Gu Jiao wrote: ‘I don't like this kind of tea.’

Ning Wang said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of tea Young Hero Heaven likes?"

He probably thought that no matter how expensive the tea Gu Jiao mentioned, he could provide it.

Expressionless, Gu Jiao wrote: ‘Folded Ear Root.’

Ning Wang: "..."

"I apologize for my poor hospitality. Next time, I'll make sure to prepare..." Ning Wang glanced at those three words and wondered if Folded Ear Root actually existed.

He quickly recovered his composure and said gently, "Young Hero Heaven, is today your first day on the underground arena? You fought really well. I admire you very much and would like to be friends with Young Hero Heaven. By the way, my surname is Chu."

Gu Jiao: I won't believe you that easily.

Ning Wang had a friendly tone and a gentle expression as he said, "May I ask if Young Hero Heaven is a local of the capital?"

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and quickly wrote: ‘Why? If I'm not from here, are you going to buy me a house?’

Ning Wang choked a little again.

Although he could afford to buy a house for her, it was quite embarrassing to be asked like that.

Ning Wang took a sip of tea, lowered his gaze, and smilingly said, "If... Young Hero Heaven... doesn't have a place to stay, you can come to my residence for now."

Gu Jiao wrote: ‘I don't want to rely on others.’

Ning Wang responded, "How is that relying on others? If Young Hero Heaven is willing, you can become my guard. That would make you a member of my residence, and I will arrange a separate courtyard for you. The scenery in my residence is beautiful. Young Hero Heaven might as well consider it."

Being able to serve as a guard in Ning Wang's residence was something many people longed for. Besides, there were different ranks among the guards, and it was unheard of for someone to live in a separate courtyard right from the start.

Ning Wang waited for Gu Jiao to ask about his identity.

But... Was it just his imagination?

Why did he feel a slight disdain in the other party's eyes?

Gu Jiao pursed her lips. After all, she had only been offered a small courtyard.

Who cared about Ning Wang's residence when she could sleep comfortably in Renshou Palace?

Gu Jiao stood up and left.

The guard blocked Gu Jiao's path and said, "My master hasn't finished speaking yet!"

Gu Jiao waved her hand and quickly wrote: ‘The time for the ten taels of silver is up. If I have to listen to him speak more, I have to increase the price!"
