Song Jiyun was oblivious to all of this.
She continued to cheer for Shao Qing and He Dazhi, and upon seeing Shao Qing's victory, she urged Zheng Quan, "Do you want to give it a try too?"
Sports competitions have a way of bringing people together effortlessly.
Zheng Quan had been eager to try, so he rolled up his sleeves and sat opposite Shao Qing, "Come on, let's have a match."
Although Yuan Yunzhong did not say it, Shao Qing knew that Yuan Yunzhong was trapped in the Song Family, and the only person in the Song Family skilled in martial arts was Zheng Quan. He had been wanting to test Zheng Quan's mettle.
The two of them refused to give in to each other, putting all their strength into the contest, and in the end, Zheng Quan narrowly won.
Unconvinced, Shao Qing said, "Again!"
The two squared off once more.
Song Jiyun, betting ten taels of silver here and ten there, soon gave away seventy to eighty taels.
The cheers and clapping beside the Water Pavilion never ceased.
