Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

In the reception room, Yu Lu asked the maid to serve tea again, and the few people sat down as host and guest.

"Does Young Master Qiao have any other instructions for tomorrow's performance?" Yu Lu Tan opened her mouth softly, her beautiful eyes looking at Qiao Rui gently, her eyes full of tears.

This woman's every frown and smile is so charming, I don't know if it is an instinctive habit or she does it on purpose.

“Ahem!” Qiao Rui coughed dryly and smiled bitterly, “As for the music, young lady, you are a master, and I really can’t find any flaws. But I do have a little trick that may be able to help you a little!”

"Oh? Please give me some advice, young man!" Yu Lu put away some of her flattery, corrected her attitude and asked humbly.

"Girl, before you play tomorrow, you might as well tell the story first. This way, perhaps it will resonate with more people and make them like your music!" said Qiao Rui.

Before a talent show, it is very popular and effective to come up with a touching story to gain sympathy.

Yu Lu thought about it carefully and found it quite reasonable. She praised: "Young man, you are really talented!"

Qiao Rui waved his hand, "It's just a rehash of someone else's ideas. It's not something I came up with!"

"It's just like the mobilization before a war. It takes some passionate words to get the soldiers excited!" Tong Hui saw Yu Lu and Qiao Rui chatting happily, and added a sentence unwilling to be left behind.

Although it's a bit inappropriate, that's basically the meaning, and it's all meant to arouse resonance.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lu gave Tong Hui a charming smile with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "That's right, Master Tong is truly a genius. In time, he will surely become a famous general!"

Tong Hui was so excited by Yu Lu's coaxing that his heart burned, but he pretended to be reserved, trying hard to keep a straight face and not let himself smile too superficially, and said calmly: "Miss, you are too kind!"

Yu Lu gave Tong Hui another wink, then smiled at Qiao Rui and said, "Young man, since you are afraid of being disturbed by scoundrels, you might as well stay here for the next few days. There are quite a few rooms on the sixth floor anyway, and I am the only one living there. You can pick any one to stay in, and it will be convenient for you."

"I'm afraid..."

"After tomorrow, it will be the last round of talent shows. I will have many questions to ask you. If you live somewhere else, wouldn't it be a waste of time to travel back and forth like this?"

Yu Lu interrupted Qiao Rui without waiting for him to refuse and said something so logical and reasonable that it was impossible to refute.

Qiao Rui thought about it and nodded, "In that case, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"This vixen is so shameless that she actually blatantly hooked up with my elder brother and even spoke so righteously. Humph!" Chu Tianjiao glared at Yu Lu fiercely, criticizing her in her heart.

Seeing Tong Hui scratching his head and cheeks with a constipated look, Chu Tianjiao came up with a plan and said with a smile: "It is said that one person's shortcomings are worse than others'. My brother Tong is also quite talented. Why don't we all stay here so that we can discuss things together!"

Tong Hui was struggling over how to stay and not let Qiao Rui, a ruffian, take the spotlight. Suddenly, he heard Chu Tianjiao's words and was immediately delighted. He said with a smile, "Sister Tianjiao is right!"

He is not like this on weekdays. He says and does whatever he wants, and no one dares to refuse him. However, the more he deals with people he cares about, the less rude he becomes. As the saying goes, no matter how high your status is, there will be times when you become a bootlicker!

Yu Lu did not refuse. She said goodbye to Tong Hui with a charming look and said coquettishly, "Mr. Tong, if you are willing to live here, I welcome you. But I like quietness and I usually have to listen to the flute and dance. If I am disrespectful, please forgive me!"

"No, no!" Tong Hui smiled happily, not caring about so many things.

They chatted for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then went to their rooms to rest. No words were spoken that night.

On the second day, Qiao Rui did not go to Yu Lu again, and declined Chu Tianjiao's invitation to go shopping and play. He just practiced martial arts in the room until the competition for the flower list began at the beginning of the afternoon. Then he came to the roof of Zhuangyuan Building and met up with Zhuo Yifei and others.

Luoyang South Market was unprecedentedly lively. Yesterday's performances were more exciting than the other, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Luoyang residents and other outsiders. The flower stand was surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside, each of them with warm eyes and surging passion.

Perhaps it was because the pressure brought by Longyue and Xiaobaifeng yesterday was too great, the first four top geishas who took the stage today all put in their best efforts, showing off their unique skills and winning rounds of applause.

Their fans donated generously and the competition for the flower ranking was extremely intense. As they chased each other, their scores soared all the way, reaching between 200,000 and 210,000, surpassing Yudie in one fell swoop and catching up with Longyue.

After the top four geishas finished their performances, the total value of the flower list was ranked as follows:

Xiao Baifeng is first, and the total value of the two rounds is 230,000 taels.

The second one is Longyue, and the two wheels are worth a total of 220,000 taels.

The third to sixth are the four geishas who will be on stage today. The total value of the two rounds ranges from 210,000 to 200,000.

The seventh Jade Butterfly, only one round is worth 190,000.

The eighth to eleventh places were the four top geishas who first appeared yesterday, and both rounds earned around 170,000 to 180,000.

The last one, the twelfth one, is Yu Lu, with a total value of one hundred thousand per round.

Yu Lu is about to take the stage in the penultimate performance of the second day of the second round.

The second floor of Yipinzhai, not far from the flower stage, is reserved by the top girls. They will come here to rest before or after going on stage and watch the performances of other sisters in the same industry.

At this time, in a large private room, seven or eight of the twelve top performers gathered here, chatting while leisurely eating fruits and watching the flower stage performance.

"Sister Lulu's performance just now was so beautiful. She looked so seductive, just like the reincarnation of Daji. Especially her hair. Her hairstyle was so beautiful. I wonder where she got it done?" a girl praised.

"You'll have to ask Sister Susu. She introduced me there!" said the gorgeous and charming girl called Lulu with a smile.

"Sister Rongrong is both beautiful and talented. You didn't see it carefully just now. She was so charming and seductive on the stage. I think if she wanted to seduce a man, that man would be willing to go to jail!" Sister Susu joked.

"If you ask me, Sister Xiao Baifeng is still better. Her performance yesterday made those stinky men's eyes drop. They must be thinking that if they could have a kiss with her, they could let Sister Xiao Baifeng wear the armor she wore yesterday. Tsk tsk..." Sister Lulu said with a strange laugh.

As they talked on, the conversation became more and more unbearable. Women became more open in conversation, even more so than men.

Seeing Yudie smiling and saying nothing, a girl coughed dryly and said with a sour smile, "The most amazing one is our sister Yudie. She won 190,000 taels in just one round. If she wins another round today, she will win at least 300,000 taels! To win the top spot is as easy as taking something out of a bag!"

"That's natural!"

"Yes! Sister Yudie should be the most beautiful lady in the world!"

Whether they meant it sincerely or not, the girls all echoed the sentiment, saying that they had to admit defeat as they were fighting on their home turf.

"Don't underestimate Sister Yu Lu. She is as famous as Sister Yu Die!" said the girl named Rong Rong, who loves to stir up trouble the most.

"Tsk, she's still the last one now, and the total value of the flower list is only 100,000!"

"But this is only the first round of results. I haven't started to exert my strength yet today!"

"So what? Even if she is like Sister Xiao Baifeng, with the advantage of coming on later and her talent being more novel, she can only earn two hundred and thirty or two hundred and forty thousand at most. How can she compare with Sister Yudie!" Longyue curled her lips.

There was something else she meant. She always felt that Xiao Baifeng surpassed her only because she came on stage later, and it didn't necessarily mean that she was more talented.

Just as everyone was scheming and scheming, Yu Lu came on stage.

"Huh? What is she doing..." Yudie suddenly sat up straight, staring at Yu Lu on the flower stand without blinking.
