In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

It's already the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

He was most likely provoked by Gu Hanyuan at Wudang Mountain.

He only just started to work hard.

Shangguan Haitang is backed by the Hulong Mountain Villa.

Cultivation resources are abundant.

She already possessed exceptional talent in martial arts.

However, he was delayed by matters concerning the number one manor in the world.

That's why I've been stuck at the peak of the acquired stage.

As long as you are willing to cultivate.

Improving one's cultivation level is not difficult.

Soon it was Gu Hanyuan's turn.

When Helian Tieshu's adjutant announced his name.

Gu Hanyuan's opponent's face instantly darkened.

This man was also a chivalrous hero of the Song Kingdom.

How could they not know that Gu Hanyuan was incredibly powerful?

They had no choice but to abstain.

This is also the first time someone has given up because they knew they were no match for the opponent.

This inadvertently increased Gu Hanyuan's prestige among the crowd.

Because Prince Zongzan stopped too many people.

Therefore, the number of people present was much smaller.

Therefore, the first round ended very quickly.

It was still early.

The competition can definitely continue.

Surprisingly, however.

Helian Tieshu suddenly announced:

"It's getting late today, so we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the second round."

Everyone looked up at the sky.

I'm speechless at Helian Tieshu's blatant lies.

But we still followed the arrangements.

Gu Hanyuan and Shangguan Haitang exchanged a glance.

They said in unison:

"Delay for time."

This tacit understanding pleased Shangguan Haitang.

But this is not the time to be happy.

He said in confusion:

Why is Helian Tieshu stalling for time?

Gu Hanyuan simply uttered two words, which resolved her doubts.

"Mongol Yuan Dynasty".

Shangguan Haitang suddenly realized.

He smiled wryly, feeling helpless:

"It seems the Western Xia truly favors the Mongol Yuan. It looks like your chances, Brother Gu, are slim."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled:

"not necessarily."

His eyes flickered.

The current situation is complex.

But it's not out of control yet.

We'll verify it again tonight.

Shangguan Haitang didn't know where Gu Hanyuan's confidence came from.

But I still expressed my support.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Shangguan Haitang was the first to take her leave.

Gu Hanyuan guessed that she was planning to find an opportunity to meet with high-ranking members of the royal family.

This conveys Zhu Houzhao's intention to propose marriage.

However, he did not think highly of Shangguan Haitang.

Most of the time, you'll just run into obstacles.

Gu Hanyuan led Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan back to the inn.

Gan Baobao asked in surprise:

"Why are you back so early? Is the marriage proposal over?"

Gu Hanyuan explained:

"The Western Xia are trying to stall for time. This marriage proposal won't end anytime soon."

Gan Baobao asked in confusion:

"Delaying for time?"

Gu Hanyuan said solemnly:

"Yes, the situation in Western Xia is a bit complicated. You all need to be careful these days. A'Luo and Yu Yan don't need to come with me tomorrow."

The two girls obediently agreed.

They also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

At this time, inside the Western Xia imperial palace.

Wu Xingyun and her two daughters also learned about the situation regarding the marriage proposal.

Wu Xingyun complained:

"What's Helian Tieshu up to? Why isn't the competition continuing?"

Li Qiu pondered for a moment.

The conclusion was quickly reached.

"It must have been Li Yuanhao's idea. To stall for time until the Mongol Yuan people arrived."

Wu Xingyun said disdainfully:

"This is unnecessary. Even if the Mongol Yuan people came, they wouldn't be a match for Master."

Li Qiu smiled knowingly:

"Senior sister, are you in such a hurry?"

Wu Xingyun's face flushed slightly.

He stubbornly insisted:

"Who's in a hurry? I just think it's a waste of time."

Li Qiu smiled meaningfully:

"I'll take it as what you said, Senior Sister."

Wu Xingyun's face darkened.

Looking at the smug Li Qiu.

sneered:

"Has my junior sister been too active lately?"

Li Qiu became very wary upon hearing this.

I subconsciously took half a step back.

"Senior sister, what do you want to do?"

Wu Xingyun realized he couldn't win the argument.
