Chapter 149 A Huge Opportunity Falls from the Sky

Halfway through the barbecue, Miao Yunyou’s phone, which had been lying nearby, suddenly vibrated.

She grabbed it casually and saw the caller ID flashing three characters—Qin Yuechuan.

Miao Yunyou froze on the spot, her skewer paused mid-air.

This person… was actually calling her voluntarily?

Until now, it had always been her coming to Qin Yuechuan with requests. This was the first time he had reached out first, and the abruptness made question marks pop up in her mind.

“Hello, what’s up, boss?” Miao Yunyou answered, her tone tinged with genuine surprise.

Qin Yuechuan’s voice came through the receiver, a few shades lower than usual, and lacking his usual composure:

“…Are you free to talk? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Oh, sure.”

Miao Yunyou immediately raised her hand toward the group gathered around the barbecue, signaling she’d step away for a moment. “You guys keep eating; I’ll go downstairs to take a call.”

She grabbed a cup of milk tea, walked down to the fifth-floor lounge, and sat on a sofa by the window. Quiet and spacious, it was the perfect place to talk.

“Alright, boss, what’s the order?”

Qin Yuechuan paused for a moment, as if he rarely asked anyone for help, his tone slightly awkward:

“‘Order’ is too formal… but… there’s something I need your help with.”

Miao Yunyou was even more surprised and let out a laugh: “Oh? You actually need my help?”

Where did the sun rise from?

Qin Yuechuan didn’t joke. His tone turned serious, cutting straight to the point:

“Here’s the situation. It’s early November now. In early January, our country will host an international martial arts exchange tournament. Although it’s mainly an exchange event, the level is high. Teams from dozens of countries will participate—it’s basically a global martial arts gathering.”

He paused, lowering his voice further:

“The core players originally selected to represent China ran into serious problems before the competition—they were secretly infiltrated and bribed by foreign forces, changed their nationalities in private, and defected. They simply cannot compete now. If they appear, it would be an international embarrassment.”

“Ah?” Miao Yunyou let out a puzzled sound.

“This situation is too sensitive to make public. And these players were personally approved by a high-level official, fast-tracked onto the roster. Now, with the pre-competition collapse, publicly replacing them would be tantamount to admitting poor judgment in selecting them, and negligence in supervision…”

Not only would face be lost, but career prospects would also be affected.

Qin Yuechuan sighed: “The higher-ups don’t want this blown up, and they especially don’t want to lose face internationally. So, bypassing the usual channels, they came to us at National Security to see if we had anyone… highly skilled, reliable, and ready to step in at short notice.”

Miao Yunyou understood roughly—he wanted someone from her side to step in and compete.

Qin Yuechuan’s voice carried both helplessness and certainty:

“I’ve thought it over. The most suitable person is only on your side.”

Miao Yunyou was about to speak when Qin Yuechuan said:

“Let me finish. If you’re willing to send someone to represent the country, we’ll handle all paperwork, identities, and procedures—you don’t need to worry about a thing. In return, the authorities will build a large open-air performance stadium for Xuanwu Mountain Resort— Standard seating, central competition area, full canopy roof, comparable in scale to an outdoor sports stadium. It can be used for performances, gatherings, and large events anytime, completely at your resort’s disposal. The competition will take place at your resort. There will also be prize money, which you will receive in full.”

Having dealt with these two sisters for a while, he knew well that no one would act without proper incentives.

“Ah?” Miao Yunyou was stunned. What a windfall!

Compete, win prize money, and get a free open-air stadium??

This was literally a huge opportunity falling from the sky!

Qin Yuechuan continued, solemnly:

“Our only requirement is that the victory must be spectacular, absolutely flawless!”

The situation had already become extremely delicate. Only a perfect, unassailable win could suppress the problem.

Win beautifully! Win with dignity! Convince everyone!

Miao Yunyou touched her racing heart and said resolutely:

“This task is on me!

No matter which country’s martial artist, Luo Xinglan alone can dominate the arena!!!”

Then she suddenly remembered something:

“By the way, boss… I’m not trying to be funny, just curious—why didn’t you ask my sister? As far as I know, she seems even stronger?”

Qin Yuechuan was silent for a moment:

“I know your sister is strong, but the problem is… she’s too unrealistically strong. I’m worried that if she fights without restraint, she might accidentally take the opponent’s head off.”

Miao Yunyou: “……”

Ah, right. She hadn’t thought of that. If she really competed, she would need to be careful with strength.

Qin Yuechuan keenly sensed something off: “…What’s with that strange silence just now?”

Miao Yunyou pretended nothing had happened:

“What silence? There was no silence. Don’t worry, boss. I’ll remind the competitors to hold back a little—guaranteed nothing you’re worried about will happen!”

Qin Yuechuan: “……”

A brief dead silence fell over the call. Even the sound of breathing was audible.

Wait—does that mean if they don’t hold back, they could literally take someone’s head off???!!!

Is this even reasonable?!

But at this point, there seemed to be no better way to handle it.

Qin Yuechuan exhaled deeply, his tone full of compromise:

“I’ll send you the detailed rules, competition events, and basic info on the other national teams tomorrow morning. As for the stadium construction, a specialist will coordinate with you tomorrow as well. Boss Miao, I’m counting on you this time.”

Miao Yunyou: “Mission accepted! Guaranteed completion!”
