Chapter 330: Promote Civility and Build a New Culture

"Director... Director?"

Huang Weiming was momentarily stunned.

He looked at the young couple not far away, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

He was somewhat of a person with status, having attended many gatherings and met many handsome men and beautiful women.

But none of them compared to these two.

It wasn't just their looks; it was also their aura.

What surprised Huang Weiming the most was that the brick that had just hit his head appeared in the young man's hand.

He felt as if he had been through a dream, as if everything just now was an illusion.

"I'm... not a director," he replied instinctively.

Qi Yuan held the brick in his hand, a look of disappointment on his face.

"So it was all a lie. How could it be that throwing a brick randomly in the capital could hit a director?"

The canary's lively eyes sparkled with amusement: "If you want, he could be a director."

"Cheating takes the fun out of it."

The conversation between the strange young couple left Huang Weiming bewildered.

Brick?

Hitting people?

Director?

Wasn't that just an illusion?

He wanted to say something more but suddenly realized that the young couple had disappeared from his sight entirely.

He quickly looked around but found no trace of them.

He searched everywhere but couldn't find them.

If they were humans... they couldn't have left his sight so quickly.

Could they... be ghosts?

Huang Weiming then smiled wryly.

The stress was too much; his nerves were becoming frayed, causing him to hallucinate.

A big brick falling from the sky, plus the man asking if he was a director.

Just thinking about it felt bizarre.

He put these thoughts aside, frowning, dragging his weary body back home.

"Sigh... the world is tough... it might as well be destroyed."

Huang Weiming felt a deep sense of helplessness.

He even considered that a mere commoner's anger could spill blood within five steps.

But unfortunately, that was impossible.

First, he had a family, attachments, and ties.

Second, the Mu family was one of the Seven Martial Stars families, and their descendants were protected by nanorobots. He couldn't even hope to spill blood within five steps.

"Could it be... that I have to accept this fate?"

He felt unwilling.

At that moment, his phone screen suddenly lit up.

A message appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the dense text, he initially thought it was spam and was about to delete it.

But suddenly, he paused.

"A vote? What is this?"

He was stunned.

"Dear Mr. Huang Weiming, you are an adult and a legal citizen of Qin Yuan. You are specially invited to vote on the following matters..."

"The Mu family? Seven Martial Stars family? Treason?

Listing of crimes, and a vote?"

These pieces of information flooded Huang Weiming's mind, leaving him confused and feeling disoriented.

Could someone be playing a prank on him?

Judging the Seven Martial Stars families?

What a joke!

Who doesn't know that the Seven Martial Stars families are the true emperors of Qin Yuan?

A thousand-year-old family standing firm; who could judge them?

However, he quickly clicked on the link provided in the message.

When he saw the information on it, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

"If this is a joke... the workload is just too much, isn't it?"

Clicking on a name would reveal a complete biography.

The data was extremely detailed, documenting all the deeds of that person's life.

Good deeds and bad deeds alike.

Moreover, each profile included a robotic lawyer providing legal explanations according to Qin Yuan's laws, specifying the kind of punishment that should be meted out.

Such a vast amount of information, professional explanations, and detailed data couldn't just be a prank.

"This is... Mu Kong?"

When he saw a familiar name, he was completely stunned.

The one who tried to seize his assets was none other than Mu Kong.

He was also among those being judged.

Huang Weiming felt it was absurd.

He continued reading.

"Murder... rape... currently suspected of attempting to seize the assets of a businessman surnamed Huang..."

Seeing this, Huang Weiming was shocked.

Isn't this about him?

He was now extremely excited, feeling both absurd and ridiculous, and hurriedly opened his social media platform to see what was going on.

Sure enough, on all major platforms, the topic of "voting" had become a sensation.

"Voting, what's going on?"

"I've done a simple search these past few days... there's likely very few here who could be your 'White Moonlight,'" the canary said considerately.

After being with Qi Yuan for so long, she had gotten used to his way of speaking.

"It seems we'll have to leave it to fate," Qi Yuan sighed.

As they spoke, the two arrived again at the former Martial Arts Alliance building.

The competition was set to begin tomorrow.

Today, all contestants would undergo a medical examination and then be assigned accommodations.

The competition would start tomorrow.

At that moment, a bus stopped, and a group of young men and women got off.

Xing Yu's eyes were full of excitement: "So this is Longtai? It really looks much more prosperous than our Tianyue."

"So many martial artists, are they all here to participate in the martial arts tournament?" Wang Shiqiao's eyes sparkled.

This time, Xu Tiejian had performed outstandingly in the city-level competition, earning a spot in the national competition.

For their martial arts school, this was a big deal.

So, there were five or six people from their school who followed Xu Tiejian to Longtai City.

Wang Shiqiao and Xing Yu, as the school's beauty representatives, naturally came along to cheer him on.

After all, all expenses were covered by the master of the martial arts school.

"Brother Xu, you must make it to the top 100 in this competition!" Xing Yu cheered for Xu Tiejian.

Xu Tiejian shook his head: "It's too difficult. I'm just here to broaden my horizons this time.

Who knows if there will be a next time? Lately... too many things have happened."

Hearing this, Xing Yu and Wang Shiqiao felt the same.

Especially the vote a couple of days ago, which involved the legendary Seven Martial Stars families.

Even someone like Xu Tiejian, who had some influence in his own area, didn't have the qualifications to come into contact with members of the Seven Martial Stars families.

But now, everyone could vote to decide their life or death.

This caused quite a sensation in Qin Yuan and sparked a lot of discussions.

Opinions were divided, but no conclusion was reached.

However, people reached a consensus.

The world might be changing; an unprecedented transformation was coming.

"Some people say that cultivators have already appeared in the world, and in the future, martial arts... might be eliminated, sigh." Xu Tiejian sighed deeply.

After practicing martial arts for so many years, he was at a loss about where to go if martial arts were eliminated.

"Shiqiao, do you think there really are cultivators in this world?" Xing Yu asked Wang Shiqiao.

Wang Shiqiao was stunned for a moment.

Her memory returned to that time, to the severed head.

When she received the head as a gift, she was terrified for several days.

Later, she heard about the Guiyan military camp incident and watched the leaked videos.

A terrifying thought arose in her mind.

Could it be...

That cultivators really exist?

Qi Yuan... is he a cultivator?

But if he's a cultivator, why practice martial arts, why send her a head, and earn a million?

Cultivators certainly wouldn't lack a million.

Could it be... he has a crush on her?

She was lost in her thoughts when suddenly a voice called out.

"What a coincidence, you're also here to participate in the national martial arts tournament."

When Xu Tiejian and the others heard the familiar voice, they quickly looked over.

Upon seeing the newcomer, surprise and amazement filled their eyes.

"Qi Yuan, why are you here?" Xu Tiejian couldn't help but ask.

Xing Yu was deep in thought.

She found Qi Yuan very strange.

Back at the martial arts school, there was a female celebrity, An Qi, who would pick him up every day.

Now, in Longtai, there was an indescribably beautiful woman by his side.

"I came to participate in the national martial arts tournament. This is my fiancée, her name is Ning Tao, also known as the Canary. Isn't she beautiful? Doesn't she count as the number one beauty of the planet Gongxing?" Qi Yuan held the canary's small hand, looking at her with warm eyes.

The Canary, who used to be so vain, had suffered a lot due to the curse of the Myriad Monsters' Gate.

Qi Yuan still felt a lot of guilt towards the Canary.

She was not only the number one beauty of Jiupan Mountain but always very beautiful.

"Fiancée? Where did you meet her?" Xing Yu's eyes flashed with amazement. "If anyone had claimed to be the most beautiful woman in the world before, or the most beautiful woman in five thousand years, I wouldn't have agreed.

But now, I recognize her!"

Indeed, Ning Tao's beauty was beyond description.

"See, Canary, you're not only the number one beauty of Jiupan Mountain, but also the star flower of the planet Gongxing," Qi Yuan said playfully.

"Tsk, I used to ask you to say I was the number one beauty of Jiupan Mountain, but you were reluctant," the Canary pouted, quite adorably.

Qi Yuan's memory seemed to flash back to Jiupan Mountain, and his eyes filled with reminiscence as he held the Canary's hand even tighter.

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

"Hey, stop flirting, you two; it's too sweet. Just tell us how you got qualified to participate in the martial arts tournament. I don't remember you participating at the city level?" Xing Yu said.

Wang Shiqiao, who usually talked a lot, was now silent, seemingly a bit afraid of Qi Yuan.

"I went through a special channel," Qi Yuan replied earnestly.

"Special channel?" Xu Tiejian was surprised, his eyes subtly changing as he looked at Qi Yuan.

At that moment, an announcement suddenly sounded inside the building.

"Attention all contestants, in order to 'promote civility and build a new culture,' contestants are prohibited from using any form of profanity, threats, or provocation against their opponents during the martial arts tournament. Violators will be immediately disqualified, and..."

The broadcast echoed in the ears of everyone present.

The martial artists wore strange expressions.

"What's going on? What does 'promote civility and build a new culture' mean? This never happened before."

"Not allowed to provoke the opponent? That's no fun!"

"Can we still give the middle finger?"
