Chapter 26
"Uncle, Grandpa asked me to call you to our house for dinner.”
At noon, Chen Longxiang raised his head and said.
Zhao Ziyi looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
She also wants to go
"Let's go."
Su Ming closed the book and patted Chen Longxiang's head as he smiled.
"Hey, there's a living person here.”
When Zhao Ziyi saw Su Ming holding Chen Longxiang's hand and leaving without even bothering about her, she was instantly enraged and said angrily.
"Oh?"
Su Ming stopped in his tracks and smiled.”
"I'm just afraid that the food at my uncle's house doesn't suit your taste.”
"How is it not compatible? I'll eat anything!”
Zhao Ziyi raised her delicate and fair neck and said proudly.
"Alright, you go too."
Su Ming asked.
When she heard Su Ming agree, Zhao Ziyi blushed.
She had heard her mother mention that marriage among the people usually required the consent of the parents.
She knew that Su Ming had grown up in his uncle's house.
Normally speaking, Su Ming's uncle and aunt were his parents.
She hadn't thought of this just now, but now that she suddenly came back to her senses, her little heart unconsciously beat faster.
What if his uncle and aunt are not satisfied with me?
Zhao Ziyi combed the hair that hung down from his temples. Once he was certain that his image would not be the subject of gossip, he quickly chased after Su Ming and walked beside him.
"Pretty sister, do you like uncle?”
Suddenly, Chen Longxiang raised his head and asked innocently.
Zhao Ziyi was startled when he heard this and said with a smile,""Yeah, Pretty Sister likes him.”
"Then does Uncle Biao like you?" Chen Longxiang asked.
Zhao Ziyi was stunned. After a while, he said,"I probably like him."
Su Ming's handsome and elegant demeanor, as well as the tall and beautiful Zhao Ziyi beside him, instantly attracted the attention of the people walking by.
Countless people would occasionally turn their heads around to look at her, and this made Zhao Ziyi feel extremely pleased. However, when she looked at Su Ming, she noticed that he seemed to have completely ignored their gazes. He was only looking at the road with a calm expression.
Why did he suddenly feel like an old man? He was only in his twenties.
Zhao Ziyi thought to himself.
When they passed by a square, the exclamations and noises from the audience attracted Chen Longxiang and Zhao Ziyi's attention.
"Uncle, what are they doing?”
Chen Longxiang was not tall enough. Standing outside, he could only see the backs of a group of people.
"Someone is fighting for a spouse up there." Su Ming said with a smile.
"Joust For A Spouse?" Chen Longxiang scratched the back of his head and said in confusion.
Su Ming suddenly remembered that Chen Yubian and Xu Yuzhi seemed to have gotten together because of the Joust For A Spouse.
Then, he picked up Chen Longxiang and placed him on his shoulder so that he could see everything on the ring clearly.
"Back then, your parents got together because of the Joust For A Spouse.”
"My parents got together because of the Joust For A Spouse?”
Chen Longxiang's small face was stunned. He said with a determined gaze,"Then I'll have to rely on the martial arts competition to find a wife in the future.”
"Then why did you say that you don't like martial arts today? If you don't practice martial arts, you won't be able to marry a wife."
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up as he spoke with a smile.
"Then I'll practice martial arts with grandpa after lunch!”
Chen Longxiang said.
Zhao Ziyi could not help but feel a little melancholic. If only Su Ming knew martial arts.
The two of them could travel the world.
"Pre-Sky Realm warriors can go up to the ring to challenge. The winner can take away 1000 gold taels!”
Zhao Ziyi glanced at the banner on the stage and could not help being speechless.
Although she did not know the purchasing power of gold, it was very rare for ordinary people to see gold. One thousand taels of gold was enough to feed a family of four for the rest of their lives.
On the stage, a figure wearing a bamboo hat stood proudly. Even though she was wearing a loose black robe, the strong wind still outlined her graceful figure.
"They are from the Demon Race."
When she saw the other party's bamboo hat, Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was slightly startled. This was because she had seen the scene of the devil visitors meeting her elder brother from afar in the palace yesterday.
The leader of the group was dressed exactly like the person in front of him.
"Someone from the Demon Race?"
"Pretty Sister, what is a demon?" Chen Longxiang asked in confusion.”
Zhao Ziyi explained with a smile,"It's someone who came from far away."”
Thirty-five years had passed since the great war between Chengyang, the Devil World, and the Monster Race.
At present, both sides had normal trade exchanges. Today, the demons had even sent a diplomatic mission to the capital.
Although he didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, it was enough to show that the people of the future had begun to forget about the great war back then.
Countless people below the arena discussed animatedly, but no one dared to challenge him.
After waiting for a while and confirming that no one was going up to challenge him, Su Ming said,"Let's go."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Ziyi suddenly pulled him back.
Just as Su Ming was about to leave, a figure flew into the sky and landed on the stage.
Under the gazes of countless people below the stage, a man wearing a golden flying fish robe landed on the stage.
"Uncle, that's Uncle Gu Yang.”
When he saw the man, Chen Longxiang's eyes suddenly lit up. It was obvious that he recognized the man.
When he heard Gu Yang, Su Ming was stunned. He had an impression of this person.
This was because this person had entered the North Town Governor's Office at the age of 11. At the age of 12, he advanced to Houtian ninth grade and then advanced to first grade every year. At the age of 20 this year, he was already at the peak of Houtian first grade. He was only one step away from becoming an innate expert.
Such an astonishing rate of promotion made him the new upstart of the Northern Military District. Everyone was saying that in the future, he would be like Chen Yubian, becoming the Xuanwu or Jiangliang of the Four Great Commanders.
"It's Qianhu Gu Yang from the Northern Garrison. It looks like he's going to win this match for sure.”
"It's hard to say. Look at the Houtian first grade experts who went on stage today. Which one of them has survived an incense stick's time in the hands of this black-robed man?”
"That's right. This black-robed person is too strong. I reckon that she's the strongest among the Houtian experts. Looking at her black veil and her graceful figure, I really don't know what she's up to.”
"Could it be that her true purpose is to find a spouse through a martial arts competition? But she's afraid that the person who wins against her is too ugly, so she gave gold first and then gave her body after looking at her appearance?"
"You're right!"
"If Gu Yang can't beat her, I don't think anyone in the capital can beat her.”
The audience discussed animatedly.
"Boss, you can do it!"
"Boss, if you beat her, take us to the Ten Thousand Flower House!”
"Boss Gu Yang, don't disappoint our brothers.”
On the side of the arena, a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards echoed loudly, cheering for Gu Yang on the stage.
"Gu Yang, the Governor of the North Town, please advise me!" Gu Yang cupped his fists and bowed.”
The eyes under the black veil looked at him coldly and said indifferently,"Make your move."
Gu Yang's face twitched. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, even skipping a simple introduction.
However, he was also a person who had experienced great storms. With a flick of his thumb, the Embroidered Spring Saber made a clang sound and was held in his hand.
His eyes narrowed slightly as the aura in his body surged. His right foot stomped on the ground and his figure shot straight towards the woman with the bamboo hat covering her face.
The Embroidered Spring Saber in his hand was like an extension of his arm, constantly slashing, chopping, picking, and pressing at the black-veiled woman.
The black-veiled woman was like a duckweed in a lake, standing still despite the wind and rain. Gu Yang's Embroidered Spring Blade closed in step by step, and she relied on her agile figure to dodge continuously.
The situation was in a stalemate, and the two of them fought back and forth.
Everyone below the stage could not help but hold their breaths, afraid that they would miss a moment that could overturn the situation.
"Su Ming, who do you think will win?"
Zhao Ziyi was only at Houtian third grade at the moment. He could not guess the situation of the two people on the stage.
"Don't be in a hurry to say it."
The corners of Zhao Ziyi's mouth curved slightly, and he said slyly,""If you guess wrong, then we'll go and do some chivalrous deeds. How about it?”
Su Ming cast a glance at the shameless woman and said flatly,"That woman in black won."
"How is that possible?" Zhao Ziyi said in surprise,"She's always been in a passive situation. Will she win?"”
