The stolen magic is a bit magical

At the peak of enlightenment, where the three-stranded black-bearded man stood, his brows furrowed deeply. How could this be?

They spent so much effort to subdue this dragon, and every time they took him out, it was a great honor, proclaiming to the world the power of his heart gate, that even a force like the Dragon Gate could be used by him.

But today, this signboard was smashed to pieces by the seemingly refined and cultured young man in front of me!
Ancient gate!

This is the power of the direct disciples of the Ancient Sect!

The elders of Qingqiu looked at each other in bewilderment.

They no longer doubted Lin Xiaosu's identity; this one punch was enough to prove that everything this "Spirit Girl" said was true.

Apart from the Ancient Gate, there is absolutely no other race or sect with a physical body stronger than that of the Dragon Clan.

So the question is, what should Qingqiu do?
Choosing an ancient gate seems like a good option...

The ancient divine ruins where the ancient gate is located hold a fatal attraction for any ancient race.

No one doubted it anymore.

But one person had a doubt.

That is the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits.

Only she knew that Lin Xiaosu had absolutely no connection with the ancient sect. He had simply followed her instructions and used his own fleshy celestial star to nourish his physical body.

This principle of feedback is indeed derived from the body-refining techniques of gods and demons, but it should only be imitated, and should never be surpassed.

But he seems to have surpassed it!

Where is the problem?

He must have had another extraordinary encounter!
In that secret room in Qingqiu, Third Sister's eyes suddenly lit up.

She stared at Lin Xiaosu as if she had discovered a new continent.

He looks so handsome and dashing, yet his body is so incredibly strong. If he were to defecate on my stomach, the extreme pleasure would probably make me ecstatic to the point of death...

The Seventh Princess clutched her chest, her eyes sparkling: "Look at that charm, it's irresistible! I can't take it! I have to make him my man! Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll drug them..."

Her focus was still on her demeanor!
The third sister sighed inwardly.

This guy is hopeless when it comes to looks. He only sees superficial charm and can't see the real benefits a strong man brings to a woman...

Li Chengnian took a deep breath and took a step forward: "You do have some brute strength, but Qingqiu is a place of poetry and wine, and it is difficult to keep a rough and uncouth man. It is not possible to change the perception of Qingqiu just because of your brute strength."

Saintess Qianling sneered, "Young Master Li, you mock others for only having a few pounds of brute strength, but what about yourself? I'm afraid you don't even have that much brute strength, do you?"

"Haha..." Li Chengnian laughed heartily: "A peddler makes a living by sheer strength, but a great man establishes himself in the world by having lofty ambitions, strategic plans that can traverse the world, knowledge that can be applied to both ancient and modern times, and the talent to express himself through poetry and wine. How could it be..."

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly and interrupted, "Give it a try?"

Two words, a simple and understated statement, cut off Li Chengnian's grandiloquent speech.

Li Chengnian was immediately angered by his nonchalant expression. He abruptly turned to face the Grand Elder and said, "Please give me a question, Grand Elder!"

The Grand Elder slightly opened his eyelids: "Have the two of you reached a consensus and wish to test your knowledge?"

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

"Qingqiu is a civilized place. It is proper for those seeking marriage to publicly demonstrate their talents. Since you two have reached a consensus, I will open the Path of Wind and Flowers and invite you to move to the Drunken Moon Pavilion... How about it?"

"I have long heard of the elegant and romantic figures on the Qingqiu Wind and Flower Road, and the people in the Drunken Moon Pavilion who are as beautiful as the moon. I am fortunate to be here today!" Li Chengnian bowed.

"Where is Young Master Su?" the Grand Elder asked.

All eyes turned to Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "This junior accepts!"

Saintess Qianling was taken aback: "Junior brother, I don't know what the Wind and Flower Path is or the Drunken Moon Pavilion is. Do you... know them?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter!"

I don't know!

It doesn't matter!
The people in the audience were momentarily at a loss for words...

This is arrogance!

That's domineering!

Li Chengnian's earlier statement, "A true man stands firm in the world by having lofty ambitions, strategic plans, a profound understanding of both ancient and modern times, and the talent to express himself through poetry and wine," was already incredibly domineering, causing countless Qingqiu women who were secretly observing him to feel their hearts flutter.

Now, Lin Xiaosu doesn't make many domineering declarations. With just five words, "It doesn't matter if I don't know," he perfectly conveys his domineering nature.

The implication is very clear.

I'm open to your challenge in any field.

Even in completely unfamiliar territory.

Even if you catch me off guard.

None of this matters...

The Seventh Princess in the secret chamber grew anxious, and a voice reached out to Lin Xiaosu: "Brother Su, the Wind and Flower Path is an array. I'll tell you the incantation, remember it well..."

Lin Xiaosu, who was in the audience, was suddenly startled.

I rely on!

That's the Seventh Princess's voice!

She cheated...

However, her voice stopped abruptly because the Grand Elder had seen through her telepathic communication. With a glance from the Grand Elder, the sound waves were blocked.

The Seventh Princess jumped up: "That bastard, the First Elder, dared to stop me from transmitting my voice! I... I..."

I've said "this girl" three or four times, but nothing has come out.

Because she simply had no way to control the Grand Elder.

Her father had been in seclusion for many years, and the Grand Elder had been handling all the affairs of the clan, making him the equivalent of the acting clan leader. How could she possibly retaliate?

However, the girl wasn't stupid. She turned to him for help: "Third sister, can you help me send him a telepathic message? Your Fox Charm Heavenly Voice is something that the bastard Elder can't intercept."

“I told you, your destiny is already set; it’s all about Young Master Li of Xin Pavilion. This concerns the clan’s grand plan.” The third sister glared at her. “Why would I help you ruin the clan’s grand plan?” The seventh princess cried out anxiously, “No, absolutely not! If it weren’t for him, I might have married this Uncle Li without even realizing it, but with him, I absolutely must marry my Su brother! Good sister, please help me, I’ll agree to anything you ask for…”

"Really?"

"Really!" the Seventh Princess exclaimed with delight.

"Now that you've succeeded, can I borrow him occasionally?"

The Seventh Princess's eyes widened, and she shook her head desperately: "No! Absolutely not! You...you cultivate the Heavenly Fox Charm Technique, which man can resist you? You'll kill him...You can make other demands, I'll even accept the Heavenly Fox Bracelet."

Inside the Guitang Hall.

The elder waved his hand gently.

The wall in front of them suddenly opened, revealing a path.

The path leads to a distant lake.

Peach blossoms line both sides.

A breeze rises, and peach blossoms flutter down, so elegant and beautiful.

“Young masters, this is the Wind and Flower Path, and that small pavilion is the Drunken Moon Pavilion,” the Grand Elder said.

His eyes gleamed.

A voice from the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits entered Lin Xiaosu's ears: "Xiaosu, this Grand Elder has a strong bias, have you noticed?"

"How could you not see that?" Lin Xiaosu said, "I heard that the clan leader is currently in seclusion. This marriage was arranged by him without any surprises. How could he see me deviating from the path he set?"

"The referees and contestants are colluding, what kind of competition is this..." Saintess Qianling sighed, "Has anyone noticed the mystery behind this flower arrangement?"

"A formation!" Lin Xiaosu replied with two words.

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits suddenly made up her mind.

Formation!

If it's some other kind of trickery, and the referee colludes with the opposing contestant, it's impossible to win.

However, this Wind Flower Path is actually an array.

Formations are his area of ​​expertise.

That little rascal is really lucky; he even got his strongest track in the blind selection.

As she relaxed, a strange thought suddenly popped into her head: What's wrong with me? Why am I so eager to help him? He's not in any life-or-death situation; he's proposing marriage!

If he succeeds, he will become the son-in-law of Qingqiu.

This seventh princess is so lively and beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, and she looks especially innocent and pure. As far as she knows, he seems to like this type.

If they get together, they'll definitely live happily ever after, a truly loving couple.

If that's really the case, Qianling, are you truly happy?

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits asked herself this question, and for a moment, she was completely stumped...

"Please, gentlemen!" The elder waved his hand gently.

Lin Xiaosu stepped inside.

As soon as he took that step, Katsura Hall behind him suddenly disappeared.

He was surrounded by peach blossoms.

A breeze blows, and peach blossoms swirl and drift down.

Without a sound, a peach blossom landed on his shoulder. Lin Xiaosu suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. This peach blossom petal weighed hundreds of pounds and carried a strange tearing force, impacting his meridians.

This is not the weight of a peach blossom.

This is the power of the array.

"It's over!" The Seventh Princess slapped her forehead. "This is only the edge of the formation, and he's already been hit. He won't make it through!"

"This Thousand Peach Blossom Formation was left behind by our legendary senior aunt. Her portrait is still kept in the Drunken Moon Pavilion. How can we allow outsiders to enter and leave at will? It's normal that you can't get through. It would be a miracle if you could... Alas!"

The third sister let out a soft cry.

The Seventh Princess immediately recognized him: "The way Uncle Li walks... he knows the secret techniques of the formation!"

Third Sister took a deep breath: "Now you understand, right?"

"Bastard!" The Seventh Princess jumped up. "I'm going to find him! What kind of nonsense is this? Two people are competing, and the judges are giving instructions on the spot. What kind of fairness is this...?"

The third sister reached out and grabbed her calf, pulling her back again: "Seventh sister, when will you understand that there is no such thing as fairness in this world? It's all just a game of chess and calculation."

"Let them scheme against others; all I want is for my brother Su to win this match!"

Why be so stubborn?

"He's handsome!"

This guy is such a sucker for good looks, I can't stand him anymore...

The third sister sighed, "There are plenty of handsome men in the world."

"Of all the men I've seen so far, he's the most handsome. If I see someone even more handsome later, then I'll consider him..."

In the formation, Lin Xiaosu walked forward step by step, peach petals fluttering down, ten, twenty, thirty petals on his shoulders...

He sensed the strange power of the peach blossoms.

He also saw Li Chengnian using a certain footwork to walk through the peach blossoms, truly passing through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal touching him.

Has this kid received the Grand Elder's "true teachings"?

Or is it "live instruction"?
Faced with this situation of collusion between the referee and the contestant, he actually had several solutions. The first was to replicate Li Chengnian's footwork, which wouldn't be difficult given his compassionate nature. The second was to place his finger on the array's core to break it. The third was that he could modify the array's settings to show the Qingqiu elders what it meant for an array to betray them…

However, he did nothing.

Simply because the power contained within those fallen peach petals is vast, boundless, and mysterious… (End of Chapter)
