The person who arrived was Luna Durant.
Having crossed paths with Nora Scott last night, Luna Durant knew she stood no chance confronting Nora directly, so upon finding Nora and her group, she opted for a surprise attack.
Blending in with the staff, she seized the mont Nora handed over a card and launched a sudden attack.
If it were anybody else, in such an unforeseen ambush, they’re sure to react inadequately.
Even those martial arts masters might struggle to defend themselves.
But, Luna Durant happened to et Nora Scott.
As Luna’s fingertips touched the card, she felt assured, never expecting the card to quickly change direction, being swiftly retrieved by Nora, causing Luna to miss her target.
!
Reacted so fast?
Silently startled, Luna Durant wouldn’t let it go, paused, then challenged Nora again.
Nora didn’t engage directly, but dodged lightly, skillfully avoiding, moving with such ease that it left spectators dazzled, even clueless onlookers stood wide-eyed.
— Inadvertently stepped into the Martial World?
"Wow—"
A young man ca close, leaned against Clent Winter, marveling, "Nora’s so aweso?"
"Absolutely." Clent Winter said proudly, "I heard she’s a disciple of a legendary martial arts master."
"..."
The young man blinked, feeling this Clent Winter was even more naive than himself.
A few seconds later.
He lowered his head, looked at the livestream on his phone, and froze.
Then, he exclaid, "The popularity is rising so quickly."
"With my teacher here, naturally."
Clent Winter flaunts his teacher.
Rembering the earlier barrage of comnts and urging, the young man pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Clent’s words.
Nora truly is a walking traffic magnet...
At this mont, due to the thrilling clash between Nora Scott and Luna Durant, the tone of the comnts shifted again—
[Whoa, two female knights!]
[?? The only two won in this episode are martial artists?]
[Who still rembers the drama between God Z and Luna Durant earlier this year? Hahaha, they’re finally clashing!]
[God Z, hit her, hit her, hit her!]
...
[Just fight it out.]
[Just fight it out. 1]
[Just fight it out. 2]
...
After several rounds missed, Luna Durant didn’t even touch Nora’s clothes, aware she couldn’t win, to avoid further embarrassnt, Luna pulled back.
She halted, pointed at Nora, and said irritably, "If you’re capable, stop dodging!"
"Giving you face for the show’s sake," Nora laughed coldly, "If I hit you, I’m afraid the show can’t go on."
"..."
Luna Durant gasped in anger.
Passerby: "..."
Staff: "..."
Chief disciple young man: "..."
And the netizens witnessing this scene through two livestreams: "..."
???
You people in the Martial World are a bit too arrogant!
Only Clent Winter, upon hearing Nora’s words, felt his blood boiling, eyes shining, clenched fists trembling with excitent.
Hit her!
Hit her!
Hit her!
Clent Winter cheered inwardly.
Comnts—
[Despite being arrogant and domineering, I love hearing Nora speak!]
[Luckily, God Z is known for being confrontational; otherwise, any other celebrity would be roasted alive.]
[That’s why Nora can’t rise to stardom.]
[So direct, so domineering, so tough, I’m in love.]
[The beauty acts differently towards other guests and Luna Durant, considering Luna’s backstage confession during the New Year Gala... hmm, could her boyfriend really be Mr. Langley?]
[Purely a passerby. Begging for all information on the young lady. So tough, oh my!]
...
Luna Durant, with reddened eyes, took a deep breath, repeatedly calming herself in her mind to stay composed.
Damn.
Can’t stay composed!
This woman, every move, even a single word, ignites overwhelming anger in her.
"Over here!"
"Found it!"
"Return the reward card!"
With several voices sounding, many present had their focus drawn away significantly.
Originally intending to fight Nora at all costs, Luna’s fist just raised, was stopped by this sudden call.
Running over were three masters realizing their cards had been swapped.
The monk was the first to notice, then he found the other two, discovering their reward cards had all been swapped, so the three planned to confront Nora to reclaim them.
Seeing the three, Nora glanced casually, then shifted her gaze to Clent Winter not far away.
"Clent Winter!"
She called out.
"Hey!"
Clent Winter instinctively responded.
At the sa ti, Nora Scott pinched a card, flicked her wrist, and threw it forward.
The card flew straight towards Clent Winter, at high speed, with no deviation.
Clent Winter instinctively opened his hand, and the card landed in his palm.
— It can be said that when Nora Scott threw the card, she was aiming for Clent Winter’s hand.
This technique startled people once again.
"I’m off, I’ll find you guys later."
After throwing the card, Nora Scott turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
The three masters had run all the way here, and despite being fit, they couldn’t escape their age, panting heavily. Now seeing Nora turn and leave, after just two breaths, they couldn’t help but glance at each other and reluctantly followed.
With that, Nora Scott disappeared from the live stream again.
The netizens imdiately started crying loudly.
*
Although Nora Scott was no longer in the live stream, her legend remained.
Collecting twelve cards;
The guests chasing after Nora Scott;
Confronting and clashing directly with Luna Durant;
Each event, when ntioned on its own, was enough for netizens to gossip about for a long ti.
Nora Scott was already very popular, and her surprising performance on the variety show made countless netizens eager to spread the word, first flooding forums and then going viral on Weibo.
And—
Nora Scott and Luna Durant were almost inevitably compared together.
Both of them had similar traits: brash, straightforward, hot-tempered, genuine.
However, their expressions of these traits were completely different.
When applied to Nora Scott, certain words beca complints; when applied to Luna Durant, they were mixed reviews.
Nora Scott focused on the issues, not on people, and got along well with the guests. Take the combination of new and old guests for example, it was clear that both quite liked Nora Scott;
On the other hand, Luna Durant was extrely temperantal, often lashing out and taking it out on others...
Without comparison, there would be no harm.
In this overwhelmingly one-sided public opinion, Luna Durant’s team took ergency PR asures even before the end of this variety show recording, hastily deleting unfavorable and negative comnts about her, keeping busy.
Ultimately, it didn’t let things escalate.
...
Nora Scott reappeared in the live stream when this part was about to end.
Clent Winter and the senior disciple, while doing the third task, mobilized the live stream netizens to search for Nora Scott’s whereabouts.
— To complete the second task, they needed to get the card for it to be useful, but Nora Scott and the three masters seed to have vanished, completely disappearing from their sight.
Several tis in the middle they got news of Nora Scott, rushed over to check, only to find they were a step too late, missing her.
"Hey."
The two trudged through the alley, carrying buckets and sweating when a crisp voice suddenly sounded above them.
They were startled.
There were walls on both sides, how could the sound co from above their heads?
They suddenly looked up.
Then, on top of the wall, a silhouette imdiately ca into view.
Still in a black outfit, Nora Scott’s hair tied up, flowing behind her. She sat on the wall, one leg bent, the other hanging down, swaying.
Leaning slightly forward, her elbow resting on her knee, the other hand playing with two stones, tossing them up and down.
This scene was very much like an ancient female knight.
Clent Winter and the senior disciple were thoroughly astonished.
Reacting similarly were the nurous netizens in the live stream:
[The female knight in my dreams looks just like her.]
[Heavenly Immortal, get down, if you fall I’ll be heartbroken!]
[Wife, you finally appeared, my data didn’t go to waste while I camped in Clent Winter’s live stream.]
[Seeing this face, it’s worth living this life.]
...
Tilting her head slightly, Nora Scott smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nora!"
"Master!"
Clent Winter and the senior disciple finally regained their composure and greeted her.
Putting down the bucket, Clent Winter wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Failed the challenge, we have to transport a tank of water from one end of the alley to the other as punishnt."
Nora Scott looked at the two silly laborers in surprise, "So you’re doing it manually?"
Clent Winter Senior disciple: "..."
Wow, awakening the drears with a single sentence!
Program crew: ??? Are you just born to exploit the loopholes in the rules, female knight?
Finding loopholes as soon as she opens her mouth!
You’re too much!
Barrage in the live stream—
[Hahahahahahahahahaha two idiots are dumbfounded.]
[Yeah, the rules didn’t say it had to be done manually!]
[They could’ve used a cart, the two idiots!]
[Master’s guidance is crucial at key monts!]
[The beauty is just too interesting, her first reaction is to be surprised they’re doing it manually?]
[Beauty: Why are you so stupid, not taking shortcuts and instead choosing the dumbest thod?]
