Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 190 Competition First, Life and Death Second

"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to lay a hand on our Baili family members deserves to die! Even they are no exception."

"I will never let you suffer a loss in vain."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone was icy.

"This Qin family is not simple!"

Baili Yuntian frowned.

Baili Lie said, "Master, why don't we probe him a little? Perhaps we can get more information?"

"Probe?"

Zhou Xuan's lips curled into an arc. "Lie, are you mistaken? Since they want to test us in this way, I'll let them test to their heart's content."

He stood up and said, "I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon."

"Mm."

Baili Lie nodded.

The most important thing was to figure out what tricks the Qin family was up to.

Polo was the favorite game of the capital's residents.

These dignitaries held several matches every year, attracting heroes from all walks of life to watch.

It was also a way to select talent.

This time, the Qin family's polo match was grand, inviting almost all the dignitaries in the capital, and even the highest echelons of national governance were alerted.

As the most influential and powerful family in the dynasty, the Qin family had extremely high prestige, thus their polo match also carried significant influence.

Therefore, their invitations were highly sought after.

The Qin family's venue for the event was a six-star hotel adjacent to the polo grounds, not far from the Baili Manor.

When there were no matches, the young masters and ladies from these distinguished families also enjoyed coming here to play.

A high-end polo club, covering thousands of acres.

After Zhou Xuan left the Baili residence.

When he arrived here, the Qin family members were already waiting for him.

A total of twelve dignitaries were seated in the front and sides of three luxurious cars.

Five of them were dressed rather ordinarily, presumably from less prominent families.

The other three were all wearing designer brands.

Zhou Xuan approached the Qin family members and asked, "What can I do for you gentlemen?"

Qin Zhantian smiled slightly and said, "Young friend Zhou, please get in the car, and you'll know when we get there."

"We are here today for only one reason: we wish to befriend you. We also heard about your previous conflict with the Baili family. If you are willing, we can fund the unfreezing of all the Baili family's assets and compensate the losses of Baili Manor. How about it?"

"Compensation?"

Zhou Xuan sneered, "Are you gentlemen mistaken?"

"If I hadn't diagnosed Miss Qin San's illness, you wouldn't have held such a grudge."

"For years, I have made my living as a doctor, never seeking to be the first to act. I will have no dealings with you."

The elder from the Qin family's expression changed. "You are talking nonsense!"

"Young friend Zhou, let's not dwell on that for now." Qin Zhantian chuckled and quickly smoothed things over.

"Let's head to the polo grounds first to get acquainted."

"Alright."

Zhou Xuan also brought Ling'er today.

The Fang family, the Lu family, Zhuge, and the Sun family were all gathered.

Lu Ling'er and Fang Ruolin, standing together, already attracted countless gazes.

Miss Qin San was also not far away, staring at Zhou Xuan with hatred.

Zhou Xuan looked back and gave a provocative smile, mouthing "You're dead," which enraged Qin Qingya to the point of wanting to kill.

Inside the polo grounds.

Numerous fine horses were parading and galloping, and many people had already changed into riding attire, preparing to mount their horses.

When Zhou Xuan and his party arrived at the polo grounds.

Someone had already arranged seats for them. As Zhou Xuan sat down, he heard people whispering about him.

"I heard that the Qin family's master riders are among them this time. Their horses are always known for speed, so Zhou Xuan is estimated to be utterly defeated."

"Yes, I think the Qin family intends to humiliate the Baili family severely this time."

......

Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

The Baili family were his friends, and the Qin family's master riders wanted to humiliate the Baili family. They truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Young Master Qin, Qin Chao, and others had already changed their clothes. Mounted on their horses, they arrived at the entrance of the polo grounds surrounded by a group of people.

"Zhou Xuan, I'm going to teach you a good lesson this time."

Qin Qingya gritted her teeth.

"Brother, give him a taste of his own medicine."

Someone mocked Zhou Xuan.

"You people from Cangyun City, a small place, probably don't know how to ride horses, right?"

"Yes, have you ever played such a high-class game?"

"Be careful not to get trampled to death by a horse."

"This polo game requires signing a waiver of life and death. Do you dare to play?"

"Then feel free to send your horses after me."

Zhou Xuan said calmly.

"Hmph!"

Qin Qingya snorted coldly and spurred her horse towards Zhou Xuan.

Her riding skills were also quite superb. Despite her young age, her horsemanship had reached a state of perfection.

"Zhou Xuan, let's see if you can dodge my whip!"

Qin Qingya exerted pressure with her legs and flicked her long whip.

The long whip flashed a dazzling silver light under the sun, appearing quite beautiful.

However, once this whip was stained with blood, it would be a formidable sight.

After several laps around the polo grounds.

Normally, these fine horses would be kept in the stables at the side to rest.

But now, the horses were rushing into the field as if they had gone mad.

It was only after Zhou Xuan blew his whistle that the horses, as if seeing their mothers, surrounded him.

The Qin family members were all astonished at this sight.

"It seems we have indeed underestimated his capabilities."

A Qin family member sighed softly.

"It appears we must win this battle today!"

"Damn it! Was this kid a horse groomer in his past life?"

"That's entirely possible."

"This Zhou Xuan is not only skilled in medicine, but he also has many other methods."

Qin Zhantian said with a smile, "Don't worry, we're guaranteed to win today."

"However, Zhou Xuan is a smart person, and I believe he will choose a better path."

"If he chooses the Fang family, he will never be able to turn the tables."

"Precisely."

Qin Zhantian nodded with a smile and then looked at the person beside him.

That person smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, there's a saying that a wise man adapts to circumstances."

"This Zhou Xuan is a smart person, but he's too arrogant."

"I think he needs to experience some hardship before he can recognize the reality."

Some people present also echoed his sentiments.

Qin Zhantian nodded slightly.

He looked around at the people present and said with a smile, "The polo match is about to begin. Ladies and gentlemen, let us old folks enjoy the vigor of you young people!"

"Remember!"

"In the arena, the game comes first, and life and death second!"

Zhou Xuan changed into his riding attire.

He was truly looking forward to today's match.

He wanted to see what tricks the Qin family had up their sleeve!

Thus, he mounted his horse and charged forward!

Qin Qingya followed closely, looking at Zhou Xuan, and said word by word, "Zhou Xuan, I will not let you go."

"If you won't let me go, then it depends on your abilities."

Zhou Xuan smiled indifferently, ignoring Qin Qingya further, and led the others to an open expanse of grassland on his own.
