For the sake of fairness, the eight great patrician families' competition was to be held at the Assembly of Worthies Martial Arts Centre.
The master of the martial arts centre, Hou Ping, was an astute and capable woman just over 40 years old. She had started preparing for the eight great patrician families' competition grounds three days in advance.
These past two days, Qiao Mu was idle with nothing to do at home, so she had been drawing talismans. If she didn't feel like doing that, then she would go read medical books. Because she was in a languid mood, she didn't really want to go anywhere either.
During this time, Duan Yue came over to visit once, and he even shared his intel with her. For instance, what kind of person the Duan Clan would send out for the competition, as well as how so-and-so was relatively more formidable.
He mercilessly sold out all the people that would be representing the Duan Clan for the competition to his Little Qiaoqiao!
