Si Fuqing flipped through the information sheet once more.

Together, there were nearly four hundred stars participating from different countries; indeed, the number was vast.



The fastest APM was a top star from the Muston Dukedom, with a record of 323.

“The competition won’t be easy,” Cheng Yiqiao said, taking it in stride. ‘We’ll do our best.”

Si Fuqing nodded. “I will definitely do my best.”

Sang Yanqing was silent for a moment.

Do your best? Your definitions seem to differ, don’t they?

After a brief rest, the group went out to dine and take a stroll.

As they passed a square, Cheng Yiqiao suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Our athletes!” she exclaimed excitedly. ‘Qingqing, look, that’s the women’s swimming team!”

This edition of the International Sports Games was also being held in the Muston Dukedom.

Beginning in November, athletes from various countries had gradually arrived by the end of October.

“Xu Wangtong!” Cheng Yiqiao’s excitement grew. “She’s my idol! She made her debut at the International Sports Games at fourteen and has won four consecutive championships. By eighteen, she was already a grand slam winner!”



Hearing this name, Si Fuqing paused for a moment.

She looked over, her gaze lingering on the woman under the flag, slightly lost in thought.

Yuejian, with her keen perception, noticed Si Fuqing’s gaze. “Do you know her?”

“Yes,” Si Fuqing responded, her tone light and without much detail. “We met on a mission before. I didn’t expect she had retired.”

Meanwhile, the women’s swimming team also spotted them.

A girl around fourteen or fifteen tugged at Xu Wangtong’s sleeve, whispered something, then excitedly ran toward Si Fuqing.

“Sister Qingqing,” the girl said shyly, “I’m a fan. May I have your autograph?”

Cheng Yiqiao was surprised. “Qingqing, you’ve made it. Your fans are quite impressive. ”

“Of course.” Si Fuqing bent down and patted her head. “Would you like a photo together?”

“Yes, yes!” The girl nodded vigorously. “Sister Qingiqng, wait till I get a medal!”

“Alright,” Si Fuqing smiled. “I’ll be waiting. Then I can brag to others that I’ve taken a photo with a world champion.”



After obtaining the autograph and photo, the girl happily returned. Si Fuqing turned around. “How did Xu Wangtong become a coach?”

“You didn’t know?” Cheng Yiqiao sighed. “Four years ago, the International Sports Committee wrongly accused Xu Wangtong of doping and banned her for ten years. Only this year was the truth revealed.”

“Even though the ban was lifted, her golden years have passed, and she can’t compete for gold medals anymore. So, she chose to become a coach.”

Si Fuqing’s eyes flickered. “A wrongful accusation?”

“Whether it was wrongful or not, how could we possibly know?” Cheng Yiqiao whispered. “Every circle has its conflicts of interest, and the competition in sports is even greater than among us stars.”

Si Fuqing fell silent.



MO Yanwen immediately looked towards Yu Xiheng, who paused before speaking. “Sir.”

Yu Xiheng’s eyes slightly closed, but his intent to confront was overwhelmingly clear.

At that moment, Si Fuqing made her move.

She stepped forward, unhurried.

This action changed the expressions of Cheng Yiqiao and the others.

Cheng Yiqiao’s palms sweated as she reached out to grab Si Fuqing’s arm. “Qingqing...”

They were not in the Great Xia Empire, and though it was just a celebrity exhibition match, it was an international event!

Everyone, in front of the large screens on and off the stage, was watching.

Even a diplomat could face endless troubles for a single misplaced word.

The opponent was aggressive. Not responding would seem cowardly.

But to respond might be seen as making a mountain out of a molehill.

It seemed there was no right choice.

They were momentarily at a loss for words, unable to find a perfect retort. Meng Xue stood by, her head lowered, her gaze filled with undisguised mockery and schadenfreude.

Si Fuqing had already stepped forward.

If she didn’t make a statement now, her career in the entertainment industry would be over.

Not just the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t be able to continue in the Great Xia Empire at all.

The event was indeed being broadcast live.

The domestic audience was very interested in this celebrity exhibition match. [Damn, let me at that guy! Who is he to look down on us?]

[This generation of stars really isn’t up to snuff, rendered speechless by a challenge. It’s embarrassing.]

[??? Try answering yourself. You don’t even have what it takes to stand up there.]

[I want to see what Si Fuqing can say. Smart people know that keeping quiet and letting the organizers handle it is the right approach.]

Andrew’s expression remained contemptuous.

He was quite handsome, but in his eyes, most stars from the Great Xia Empire were merely pretty faces.

Good to look at, but lacking in substance.

“Why?” Si Fuqing began calmly, “Because we discovered fire by drilling wood, while you awaited heavenly gifts.”

“Because when floods came, you hid in your boats, whereas we did not hesitate to control the flood to save the world, when we could have hid in our home mere steps away (1).”

“Because you worship the sun as a deity, we dared to shoot arrows at it (2).”

“Because for five thousand years, the civilization of Great Xia has spanned without interruption!”

She smiled. “If you have the audacity to stand here, why shouldn’t we be confident?”
