"Oh, I see," Xiang Xueer nodded. Suddenly, the Azure Wind Sword jumped out of its sheath with a whoosh, spinning in mid-air. The fat man turned to look at it and said, "The old thing says you have to greet the Fuxi Qin Ancestor first!"
"Greet?!" Xiang Xueer scratched her head and joked, "But this is a martial arts competition for marriage! How am I supposed to greet her?" As she spoke, she was thinking of a solution, but the two guys immediately stared at her wide-eyed.
Xiang Xueer broke into a sweat and quickly shook her head, exclaiming, "Hey, let me clarify! Although she is a beauty, I am not a lesbian; I like handsome men!"
"No one is asking you to marry that woman; we just want you to greet her!" Fat Ancestor said, while the Azure Wind Sword nodded vigorously beside him, then pointed its blade toward the opposite side, urging her to hurry up.
"Seriously? You two aren't plotting something and sending me as a runner or cannon fodder, are you?" As soon as Xiang Xueer said this, the fat man and the Azure Wind Sword turned their heads away and pretended to look calm.
Tch, she had guessed it right. They were pretending to be kind by bringing her along, but they really just saw her as a lackey! Xiang Xueer cursed silently in annoyance.
Just then, a waiter carrying breakfast walked in. Xiang Xueer quickly grabbed him and asked, "Hey, can you find out who that beauty in the Embroidered Tower is?"
"Huh? You must be outsiders! You don't even know her!" The waiter grinned widely, revealing his blackened teeth. "She is our Nüwa clan's number one beauty: Gunaara. She is the daughter of the clan leader. Not only is she talented and beautiful with an impressive family background, but she is also skilled in martial arts. At twenty years old, she has yet to marry. So her family decided to hold a martial arts competition for her hand in marriage!"
Ah! I see now. Xiang Xueer pouted and pointed at the guqin in Gunaara's hands, asking, "Do you know where that guqin came from?"
"That guqin? It is said to have been passed down from our Nüwa clan's ancestors!" The waiter’s eyes were glued to Gunaara playing on the balcony above, drooling.
It seems that if I want to greet Fuxi Qin, I need to deal with Gunaara first. I want to see how skilled she really is! Xiang Xueer already had an idea in mind.
Suddenly, the arena below the Embroidered Tower finally began. The red drum sounded with a thunderous boom. Then a middle-aged man in his forties stepped out.
He wore a robe adorned with golden threads and had an imposing expression on his face; he indeed looked like the clan leader of the Reading Network. After clearing his throat, he began to speak: "Today, we are selecting a husband for my daughter. Any unmarried man of suitable age may come forward to compete. The final victor will become my son-in-law."
In the midst of the conversation, a burly man with a face full of muscles jumped onto the Arena with a thud. He looked to weigh at least two hundred pounds, and his fists made a loud cracking sound as he clenched them. He reached out and pounded his muscular chest, shouting arrogantly, "Come on! If you have the guts, challenge me!"
The crowd below swallowed hard at the sight; this guy was as strong as an ox. The audience erupted in excitement, and those who had been restless moments ago suddenly stood still, silenced by his presence.
"Oh, a big guy!" Xiang Xueer scoffed, shaking her head in disdain. "He doesn't look that impressive; he's just big and trying to scare people."
Before she could finish her sentence, a tall man finally jumped onto the Arena, rolling up his sleeves with a determined expression. "I’m here to challenge you."
"Huh?" The burly man laughed heartily upon seeing his opponent's skinny arms and legs. "You little chick think you can compete with me for Gunaara? I'll turn you into minced meat!"
Thus, before the fight even began, tensions were already high. Xiang Xueer glanced around the street, then swiftly leaped down from the inn's window with her Azure Wind Sword in hand and headed into a nearby clothing store.
At that moment, Lian Cheng Xue, Li Yunyang, Ling Zhu, and Duck heard the commotion outside and gathered at the window to watch the spectacle.
"Wow, it's a martial arts competition for marriage!" Ling Zhu exclaimed as she spotted a stunning beauty playing the piano on an upper floor. She nudged Lian Cheng Xue. "Hey, she's gorgeous! You should go give it a try."
"Forget it; I'm not interested!" Lian Cheng Xue jokingly shook her head and turned to Li Yunyang. "Brother Li, why don’t you go? With your skills, even ten fat guys wouldn't stand a chance against you!"
Li Yunyang's expression darkened at that remark. "Stop joking around! Whoever wants to go can go!"
"I'll go! I'll go!" Duck eagerly raised his hand and turned to dash toward the Arena but was grabbed by Ling Zhu by the neck. "What are you doing? This is a martial arts competition for humans only! What are you doing here, Duck?"
"Hmph!" Duck pouted as he watched the two fighters in the Arena. In just a few rounds, the tall opponent was thrown off the stage by the burly man, causing an uproar among the spectators. Although a few more challengers stepped up afterward, none could match the strength of the burly man.
In no time at all, the Arena had become the domain of that muscular brute. After several rounds of combat, no one dared to challenge him anymore. He turned to Gunaara on Embroidered Tower and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! My beauty, you are mine now!"
Gunaara, who had been focused on playing the piano, suddenly stopped her movements. She slowly stood up, jumped aside the red gauze curtain, and looked down at the man below with a face full of flesh. Her pretty little face instantly darkened.
Duck slammed his hand on the window sill and exclaimed angrily, "This is outrageous! That man looks like a bull; it's truly a case of a beautiful flower growing in cow dung!"
At that moment, Gunaara's father glanced up at his daughter in the elegant building and immediately said, "If no one else steps up to challenge, then my daughter will directly take on the challenge."
According to the rules, the last winner in the Arena must defeat Gunaara to claim victory. This was quite troublesome. Li Yunyang shook his head and turned away in boredom, sitting down beside them.
Just then, on the eaves of the opposite inn, stood a young man dressed in a white long robe. He was tall and wore a Purple Gold Crown on his head, with a silver-white mask covering his eyes. The handsome contours of his face suggested he was certainly a refined young gentleman.
He held a fan painted with landscape scenes in one hand and had a rusty Azure Wind sword slung behind him. A charming smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he turned to Azure Wind Sword behind him and said, "Are you ready? The grand finale is about to begin!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!" The Azure Wind Sword behind him resonated in response. He then turned and shouted towards the Arena, "Wait! I am here to challenge!"
In an instant, all eyes turned towards the inn above. Ling Zhu stretched her neck to stare at the mysterious man above and frowned, "Wow, an unexpected challenger has appeared! Why is he wearing a mask? Could it be that he looks so ugly he can't show his face?"
Lian Cheng Xue pouted as she looked at the man's figure and handsome chin across from them. "I doubt it; he looks like some wealthy young master."
"No, no, no!" Duck mysteriously waved his hand back and forth. "Not at all! I think this person must be an expert among experts."
Li Yunyang, who had just found things boring, suddenly wrinkled his nose and sniffed for a while. He immediately jumped up from his chair, pushing everyone aside to look at the eaves across from them. The unique charm of Xiang Xueer filled the air, and he muttered in disbelief, "No way!"
