Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 97 The show begins

Seeing that the martial arts competition to win the bride had just begun, after several rounds of competition, Gong Che suddenly entered the arena, like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and defeated all the secular warriors in a few moves.

Look at this man wearing a flowing cloud cloak, tiger-head boots, eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes like stars, what a majestic young man.

The crowd erupted in applause, and even Ye Ling's eyes lit up. He truly thought this young man was a very good-looking man. It was a pity that he had a crooked mind and unclear motives, making him definitely not a good son-in-law.

Ye Nianyi didn't even bother to look at him. She just felt that the heroic boy was just like a fighting rooster, glaring and fighting fiercely in the ring, which was childish and ridiculous.

If asked what type of man is the most attractive, she still prefers the kind of gentleman who is wise and calm in the face of danger.

For example... she secretly glanced at Yun Yi again.

Whether intentionally or by chance, Nangong Zhuozhuo suddenly blocked her view and said with a playful smile, "Do you have any young master in mind?"

Ye Nianyi said unhappily, "None of them are as good-looking as you, so what's the point of talking about whether they like each other or not?"

"In that case, why don't I marry into your family and save your father from worrying." Nangong Zhuozhuo put on a manly appearance and made a rather pretentious pose.

"Puchi..." Ye Nianyi couldn't help but laugh.

Yun Yi felt helpless when he saw this scene. It was already this late, and these two people really had such big hearts that they could still laugh.

On the ring, Gong Che was majestic and invincible with his pair of iron fists. He wanted to send every challenger away with one punch, which drew loud cheers from the onlookers, as if he had already been the designated son-in-law of the city lord.

In fact, this was not the case. At this time, Gong Che was mostly dealing with warriors, and there were several cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm who were secretly observing and had not yet taken action.

These people who have reached the Spirit Transformation Realm are all elites who have practiced for many years, so naturally no one wants to be the first to stand out.

On the other hand, they were also analyzing Gong Che's martial arts routines, and were surprised to find that although he was only at the peak of Qi Refining, he would still be quite difficult to deal with if they really fought.

This person's foundation was extremely solid, and his spiritual energy circulated within him, seemingly inexhaustible. The boxing technique he used came from Fusheng Temple, and when he swung his fists, shadows flew everywhere, with extraordinary power.

If it were an ordinary person in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would most likely be in trouble under Gong Che's fist.

Yun Yi's attention wasn't on Gong Che; he saw the young man as a decoy. The real battle wouldn't begin until those in the Spiritual Transformation Realm and even the Return to Void Realm appeared.

For example, Prince Xian Su Xin, although he rarely takes action, is also a master in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

For example, Cui Wuming and Luo Tong, who are hiding in secret, are both eager to try and are ready to stir up trouble at any time.

What's more, there are still a few Return to Void Realm cultivators who have not yet appeared, and no one knows where they are hiding.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi quietly walked to Tie Hong and asked softly, "Is everyone here?"

Tie Hong used his cloak to cover his hands and feet, but when he moved, he could not help but make a sound of metal clashing. He nodded and said, "They are hidden very deeply, but I can feel their presence."

"How many people are there in total?"

"Three."

"It's good that they're here. I was just worried they wouldn't come." Yun Yi was satisfied and returned to the edge of the attic to continue watching the scene on the arena.

As all the secular warriors were defeated, finally some Qi Refining Realm cultivators began to take the stage.

One of them was a casual cultivator, practicing some unknown technique, but he was actually using a hoe.

This man's moves were extraordinary. He swung the hoe with great force. He found an opening and struck down with great force!

However, Gong Che did not dodge or retreat. He stood where he was and took the attack with his fists.

when!
He smashed the hoe with one punch and punched his opponent in the face!
The next moment, the wandering cultivator was knocked out and landed outside the arena, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely miserable.

Gong Che flicked his clothes and stretched out his hand in a provocative gesture, "Next."

Even Yun Yi, who was well versed in provocation, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene: "What a pretentious guy."

Nangong Zhuozhuo asked curiously, "What are you pretending for?"

Zhuque rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Yun Yi was just about to ask Song Xinci what she thought of Gong Che, but he found that his wife was lowering her head and fiddling with Rao Zhi Rou. The soft sword seemed to have come to life, sometimes circling around her fingertips, and sometimes revealing a tip.

And looking at Song Xinci's focused expression and smiling face, it was as if he had got a favorite toy.

Unable to bear interrupting him, Yun Yi asked Zhu Que, "What do you think of Gong Che?"

Suzaku frowned slightly: "Why are you asking this?"

"I just want you to give me some simple comments."

"Indeed, he should have few rivals in the Qi Refining Realm." Zhuque said this and gave Yun Yi a meaningful look. "But you seem to be even more perverted than him."

Yun Yi curled his lips: "If you don't know how to praise others, you don't have to praise them."

"Heh, anyway, you and Gong Che are not ordinary cultivators. We didn't have the same aura as you when we were in the Qi Refining Stage."

“It’s truly an extraordinary spectacle.”

Yun Yi's words came from the heart, without any politeness. Just at this moment, Gong Che on the ring threw a punch with all his strength, actually transforming into a fierce tiger, roaring wildly, and directly knocking his opponent dozens of feet away.

Following the figure, it seemed to have landed in a market not far from the arena, like a stone falling into water, causing a panic.

"Tsk, so impressive." Nangong Zhuozhuo couldn't help but tremble, "When will it be my turn to play?" "Wait a little longer, you are our trump card, how can you leave easily?"

"Okay, okay, then the ace will wait."

Seeing that Yun Yi calmed Nangong Zhuozhuo down with just a few words, Ye Nianyi felt that there really was always someone stronger than you in this world.

Yun Yi suddenly followed her gaze and looked back: "Miss Ye, is there something wrong? Why are you always looking at me today?"

It turns out he discovered it!
Ye Nianyi's cheeks flushed immediately, "I'm just a little curious about your and father's next plan."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Some things won't work if you say them out loud. Please be patient, Miss Ye."

"Ah."

"Of course, if Miss Ye really has a man she likes, you might as well tell us and we can find a marriage for you at the same time."

Yun Yi had been joking when he said this, but Ye Nianyi's face suddenly darkened. She said dejectedly, "For someone like me who won't live long, what's the point of falling in love with someone?"

The girl was still wearing the cherry-colored Liuxian dress today, looking simple and elegant, like the golden boy and jade girl in the portrait.

But the hint of sadness between her brows could not be concealed no matter what.

In order to avoid being seen, Nangong Zhuozhuo was unable to hug the little sister to comfort her, and could only glare at Yun Yi dryly, thinking that it was all his fault.

Yun Yi didn't know what to do. For Ye Nianyi, every day she lived was a day less.

She has already reached the age of falling in love for the first time, but now she looks mature and seems to have never been moved by anyone. In fact, it is all because of this strange disease.

I am afraid that I will fall in love and disappoint the one I love.

I feel sad for no reason.

Song Xinci had already put away her softness and walked over to Yun Yi, saying, "Even though life is short, it's best not to leave any regrets."

Obviously these words were directed at Ye Nianyi.

Ye Nianyi asked: "What would Sister Song do if she had someone she liked?"

Song Xinci said without hesitation: "Catch the demon sect and cultivate the great way with me."

Yun Yi's brows jumped when he heard this, and he broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason.

Ye Nianyi asked again: "If my sister only had one year left to live, would she do the same?"

"I haven't thought about that yet." Song Xinci glanced at Yun Yi, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly, "For those who practice cultivation, life can sometimes be very long, so long that you watch your relatives and friends pass away one after another. Sometimes it can be very short, so short that you die before you even have the chance to touch the great way."

Yun Yi added, "It's also possible to encounter various accidents and lose your life. After all, the longer you live, the more likely you are to encounter bad luck."

Song Xinci continued, "So no matter how much time you have left, it's best not to let yourself down. Otherwise, when the day comes for your death, you'll be filled with regret, and that will be the most tragic thing."

Ye Nianyi must have taken these words to heart and seemed to understand something.

She looked at Yun Yi, then at Song Xinci, and said with emotion: "Sister Song will definitely be able to be with Brother Yun for a long, long time. That's great."

Nangong Zhuozhuo also said enviously: "Indeed."

Gong Che fought hard in the ring, finally defeating an opponent who was also at the peak of Qi Refining. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but look up at the pink figure in the attic.

Although love at first sight is a lie, one has to admit that Ye Nianyi is a beauty, and her peach blossom fairy body is very helpful to those who practice cultivation.

Such a woman must be taken into the room!

Gong Che thought so in his heart, raised his fists and swung them hard at another opponent who came on stage, as if he had already won and was determined to marry Ye Nianyi.

Ye Nianyi naturally felt Gong Che's gaze, and felt that it was full of desire, which was completely different from the look Yun Yi gave her.

Brother Yun's eyes were always extremely clear, and he treated himself and Nangong Zhuozhuo like siblings, with no other feelings except the desire to protect them.

As Gong Che knocked down another opponent, no one dared to challenge him this time.

In the eyes of everyone in the audience, this guy could easily defeat dozens of people and still not show any signs of exhaustion. It was obvious that he had been hiding his abilities, so no one wanted to go on stage and make a fool of himself.

Therefore, Gong Che is the biggest winner of this martial arts competition!
Weird.

Yun Yi smiled and thought that this was just the beginning and the real show was just about to begin.

As planned, after seeing that no one continued to challenge, Ye Ling took the initiative and said, "Since no heroes are willing to come on stage to compete, let me ask my daughter what she thinks."

"Nianyi, what do you think of the young hero in the audience?"

Ye Nianyi suppressed her annoyance, forced out a fake smile, and said shyly: "Not bad... not bad."

Gong Che clasped his fists upon hearing this, and in an instant he even thought of what to name his and Ye Nianyi's child.

Ye Ling showed the tiger talisman in his hand: "Since that's the case, I will abide by the agreement and give this tiger talisman today..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice rang out: "Wait a minute, City Lord!"
