The stolen magic is a bit magical

However, Lin Xiaosu said calmly, "Impersonating a suitor is a ridiculous charge, Elder! A suitor is someone who is seeking a spouse but has not yet decided. Faced with the outstanding Qingqiu Celestial Immortal, anyone in the world could pursue her, so why would one need to impersonate someone? A noble princess can choose the best among many suitors, which would surely demonstrate the elegant style of the Seventh Princess of Qingqiu. Does the Elder think that the Seventh Princess of the noble family is not worthy of having the right to choose?"

A very long passage.

Structured.

The logic is rigorous and watertight.

Once the matter was laid out on the table, the outer elder was speechless.

The First Elder frowned deeply, and the dozen or so elders behind him all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Regardless, what he said makes sense.

As a prominent family with daughters, why would you be afraid of having many suitors?
The more you have, the more sophisticated and classy your daughter will appear, right?
Moreover, the last sentence hits the nail on the head: Tell me, does your seventh princess deserve to have the right to choose?
Even if the Seventh Princess truly had no choice, would the elders dare to admit it?
call!
A figure suddenly darted out.

This is a beautiful woman in a long, flowing dress.

Her skin was pink and tender, her expression was charming and innocent, her figure was incredibly agile, her pointed chin was slightly red, and her two cute little ears were also slightly red.

"Seventh Princess!" The First Elder's face darkened. "You go back first!"

Qingqiu is known for its elegance and propriety. When it comes to proposing marriage, how can you, the person seeking marriage, easily show your face?

The Seventh Princess looked Lin Xiaosu up and down with her bright eyes, her eyes full of surprise. This handsome young man is even more handsome up close than from a distance. I can't take it anymore.

"Young Master Su, I...I..."

With a whoosh, a beam of light swept behind the Seventh Princess, obliterating the words following her, and she was dragged away.

Only a beautiful and stunning figure remains, a memento of a visit.

She didn't say anything offensive, not because she didn't want to, but because someone behind her told her not to.

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits did not see clearly the person who took her away.

However, Lin Xiaosu, with her divine insight, saw it clearly...

The light and shadows at the entrance became chaotic, and the five people entered Guitang.

Lin Xiaosu's gaze immediately fell upon the five people.

The man in the very center was dressed in magnificent attire and looked quite handsome, but the lingering blackness on his face somewhat diminished his good looks.

He must be the belated protagonist, that young master Li from Xin Ge.

Apart from a butler-like figure, everyone around him looked to be someone of considerable importance.

A man dressed as a guard, his armor revealing the ferocity of battle, with layers of bloodstains visible in the gaps. His arms, exposed outside the armor, are incredibly thick, and the skin on his hands is purplish-black with strange patterns, each pattern seemingly brimming with power.

A maid who looked frail, but she was the Left Attendant.

The middle-aged man with three strands of black beard had true energy flowing throughout his body, and his aura was incredibly oppressive. He was even more powerful than Lu Sanqian. He was at the Enlightenment Realm, and perhaps he was only one step away from becoming a God of Enlightenment.

As soon as Li Chengnian entered Guitang, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed: "Greetings, Grand Elder, greetings to all the elders!"

The Grand Elder returned the greeting: "There was a slight mishap during the welcoming ceremony, which was not Qingqiu's intention. I hope Young Master Li will forgive us."

Li Chengnian bowed again: "Elder, you flatter me!"

He slowly turned around, his gaze slowly landing on Lin Xiaosu's face.

Lin Xiaosu looked at him with a smile.

Although neither of them showed any hostility on their faces, everyone could clearly see the state of their confrontation.

In the secret room behind, the Third Sister and the Seventh Princess were both there. In front of them, like a skylight, the scene in the Guitang Hall was clearly presented to them.

"Third sister, look, they're clearly not even in the same league. Brother Su's smile is so captivating, and his eyes are like pools of spring water. But that Uncle Li, why is his face a little... a little bluish?"

The third sister was speechless.

His face turned pale?
Isn't it all because of your Su brother that you made him angry?

Well, a sigh is just the right thing to do:
"One is your older brother, the other is your uncle, is this your choice?"

"Yes, I was just about to talk to him face to face, but you pulled me away... I'm going to go find him again later. If you pull me away again, I'll turn on you."

In the osmanthus hall, Li Chengnian spoke: "Su Lin, right?"

"Yes!"

"It is said that a family with a daughter will attract a hundred suitors, and it is normal for families to seek her hand in marriage. However, there is one ironclad rule that you should be clear about," Li Chengnian said. "A daughter of exceptional beauty is only fit for a dragon or a phoenix among men. If you wish to pursue her, you must first consider your own worth. Otherwise, you will only make a fool of yourself!"

"That's very true! So, may I ask your own capabilities?" Lin Xiaosu's smile remained unchanged.

"Insolence!" the steward said in a deep voice. "My young master is well-versed in literature and books, and he abandoned his official post to become a steward of the Heart Pavilion in the capital. Who do you think you are to be compared with my young master?"

If Li Chengnian had said this, it would have been a bit of an overstatement.

However, it was the butler who said these words.

If that's what the housekeeper said, then it makes sense.

All eyes were on Lin Xiaosu; it was time to find out more about him.

Although this person ruined a carefully prepared marriage proposal ceremony and deserved to die, prestigious sects and ancient clans also have reason. Since they can't do it openly, they should let Li Chengnian completely crush him so that they can break his limbs and throw him out of Qingqiu, right?

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits stepped forward: "My junior brother is a direct disciple of the ancient sect, is that enough?"

Ancient gate?

The entire audience was taken aback.

The Ancient Gate, one of the four gates thousands of years ago and now one of the nine gates, possesses a profound foundation that far surpasses that of the newly emerging Heart Gate.

Moreover, he is a direct disciple of the ancient sect.

A personally instructed disciple is not comparable to an ordinary disciple; his master might very well be a powerful being who upholds the Dao.

Such a status is by no means lower than that of a steward of the Heart Pavilion. After all, the Heart Pavilion is merely the Heart Sect's administrative office in the secular world, and is far from being considered part of the Heart Sect's core circle.

The direct disciples of the ancient sect are a group of people who are very close to the core circle.

The black-bearded elder standing beside Li Chengnian sneered: "The so-called ancient sect is famous throughout the world for its cultivation of the divine and demonic body-refining method. Its disciples are personally taught, and once they enter the martial world, they must have unparalleled physical bodies. Young master, do you dare to try the divine and demonic body?"

“Exactly!” the elder from the outer perimeter of Qingqiu echoed, “The Ancient Gate Mountain is located in the Ancient Divine Ruins, 300,000 miles away. How many people have ever set foot in the Great Wilderness? Recently, there have been many imposters, so we must be on guard.”

He said this through gritted teeth.

Simply because the impersonation had just happened right under his nose.

Unfortunately, he became one of those infected.

The meticulously prepared welcoming ceremony made Lin Xiaosu the one who truly needed to be welcomed. Five old faces with dark expressions descended from the sky, indicating that he could not escape the elders' punishment.

Therefore, he hated Lin Xiaosu to the point of near death.

Saintess Qianling smiled: "Want to try? Very well! Junior brother, why don't you use your physical strength to compete with this Young Master Li?"

Lin Xiaosu sighed inwardly, realizing she still had to admire the insight of the ancient powerhouse.

The choice of her birth alone demonstrates the Saintess of the Thousand Spirits' crisis management capabilities.

Her choice of the ancient gate had many advantages.

Firstly, the Ancient Gate holds a superior position, no less than the Heart Gate, and is qualified to compete on the same stage.

Secondly, disciples of ancient sects rarely venture into the Great Wilderness Kingdom, making it less likely for them to be exposed. At the same time, choosing an extremely distant and unfamiliar sect also makes it easier to conceal Lin Xiaosu's true identity, preventing people from associating him with the Great Xia Realm.

Thirdly, the disciples of the ancient sect are skilled in the divine and demonic body-refining method, while he, the Heavenly Star Body Tempering, is originally a divine and demonic body-refining method.

The burly man beside Li Chengnian stepped forward: "Ancient sect secret technique, divine and demonic body tempering? But how does it compare to the real person?"

As soon as the voice fell, the person took a step forward.

This step caused the entire Guitang Hall to tremble slightly.

This man was the burly fellow who followed Li Chengnian.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and with a soft "poof," the clothes on his right hand were torn to shreds, revealing golden scales on his arm.

Each golden scale subtly reveals the shape of a dragon.

"The Dragon Clan!" Saintess Qianling's expression suddenly changed.

The Dragon Clan, an ancient alien race, possesses physical strength that even the ancient sects are slightly inferior to.

This ancient alien race is extremely proud and self-centered. How could they possibly associate with the Heart Gate? Theoretically, the Dragon Clan despises the Heart Gate, a heretical sect, the most.

Her miscalculation left her feeling utterly disheartened.

She felt that all her hard work in helping this "junior" might have backfired—she had dug a deep pit for him.

However, it was too late to back out at that point.

The dragon-man's fist was already in front of Lin Xiaosu.

Golden light swirled around his golden fist, making this seemingly ordinary man appear like a god descending to earth.

Elder Qingqiu's eyes lit up at the same time.

They are all discerning individuals, of course.

It was immediately obvious that this man was a dragon.

The Heart Gate can even recruit dragons; its strength is extraordinary.
Killing this troublemaker with one punch, allowing the engagement ceremony to proceed smoothly, seems like the best outcome...

This punch had effectively blocked all of Lin Xiaosu's escape routes.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaosu raised her hand!

That was also a punch.

His fists were unremarkable.

It accurately hit the dragon man's fist.

There was a loud bang.

The cassia branch is cracked!
The dragon-man's eyes widened suddenly, and golden scales rippled across his arms, with dragon shadows flying everywhere.

Lin Xiaosu's arms were very fair and clean. His clothes did not flutter, only three strands of hair temporarily left his shoulders and fluttered for a moment.

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits stared in astonishment at the scene, her mouth agape.

All the elders in the room were petrified.

Is this the body of the ancient gods and demons?
Seemingly ordinary, yet with a single punch, he withstood the dragon's attack.

They were in no way at a disadvantage.

The dragon warrior roared to the sky!

Its voice is like a dragon's roar!

The sound could be heard throughout the entire region!

As he slowly retracted his fist, the entire Guitang Hall seemed to transform into a vast ocean, as if this punch had absorbed the power of the four seas.

"Die!" the dragon-clan man uttered, unleashing a punch imbued with all his might.

Lin Xiaosu's hair fluttered gently, and she sighed softly:
"I didn't want Guitang to see bloodshed, but you insisted on making things difficult for yourself, so I'll grant your wish!"

One punch!
boom!
The dragon-man was thrown off the ground and crashed into the hall, spraying blood in the air. The blood was silvery and shimmering, along with specks of scales. The golden scales were stained with silver blood, and these were the scales on the dragon-man's arm, which had been violently shaken off by Lin Xiaosu's attack.

The entire room was deathly silent… (End of Chapter)
