The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 65 I Choose Option Five

After Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo appeared. She floated out gracefully, her toes lightly touching the water's surface, her gaze carrying a slight hesitation.

"My name is Han Ruoruo, and I believe everyone knows me. I'm a little older than Ming'er, and in terms of age, I'm considered one of the elders in the inner courtyard. Because of my cultivation, I've neglected finding a partner, and frankly, I don't know how to choose today. For me, fighting is far easier than finding a man. So, I don't know how to make a choice. Senior Sister, may I change things up a bit in this part? If someone likes me, I hope they can step forward and tell me. If not, then I'll end today's blind date."

Even the usually gentle Wang Yan could no longer contain his emotions. He grabbed Han Ruoruo's hand and uttered four words with the firmest tone he could muster: "Unwavering in this life."

Looking at his excited expression, Han Ruoruo said, "You should have told me sooner. How did you know I wouldn't choose you?"

Wang Yan said excitedly, "It's not too late, it's not too late at all. Even if I can't become a Title Douluo, I still have sixty years in the future, sixty years, more than 20,000 days. I will cherish every moment. Ruoruo, thank you."

Han Ruoruo didn't say anything more. Holding Wang Yan's hand, she turned to face everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I can't continue participating in today's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. Le Xuan, just consider me eliminated today. We'll be going now."

Just as everyone was sighing, an old voice came, "We'll pretend we didn't see what happened between you two, but if you don't invite us to your wedding banquet, you'll have to bear the consequences. There's no need to ask the other elders anymore; we're all in agreement."

.........

When Ling Luochen walked gracefully out of the water lily, everyone's eyes were drawn to this aloof beauty. She walked straight up to Huo Zhanji.

Ling Luochen looked at Huo Zhanji and said, "You know my situation. I've looked at you, and you're the most suitable. If you don't mind the age difference, then let's be together."

Huo Zhanji was thankfully not choked to death by his own spittle. Did the aloof Ling Luochen actually like him? No, he was just lusting after his body and his martial spirit.

"Hey, come on, let's make this clear first. If you all choose me, I'll take it all, but whether we end up together is not something I'm considering," Huo Zhanji said.

However, Ma Xiaotao was the next to appear. Huo Zhanji was just about to relax when he heard Ma Xiaotao say, "Looks like you're quite popular, Zhanji. Why don't you consider me too?"

The evil fire phoenix behind Ma Xiaotao suddenly unfolded. When Ma Xiaotao arrived in front of Huo Zhanji with towering flames, most of the male students present let out a deafening explosion. This notoriously hot-tempered student from the inner academy had also chosen Huo Zhanji.

"Brother, we are all ashamed of our own luck with women. I hope you will be well in the future," said Chu Qingtian beside Huo Zhanji.

"Don't worry, don't worry, my harem won't be in any trouble," Huo Zhanji said helplessly.

The next steps are still in progress.

Beibei announced loudly, "After our predestined fate spans three lifetimes, we will begin the fifth stage, which is called: A Hundred Years of Harmony."

"In the 'Perfect Match' segment, after the female trainees had priority in the first four segments, the final decision-making power has been reversed and given to the male trainees. The male trainees can ultimately choose their preferred girl. If you choose the same girl who chose you earlier, and there are no other competitors, then congratulations! However, if there are competitors, we will proceed to the 'bride-snatching' segment. Of all five segments, the 'Perfect Match' segment has the greatest variables and is a crucial moment to showcase everyone's strength and charm, so please be prepared."

Zhang Lexuan continued, "The rules for the 'bride-snatching' segment are as follows: If a male trainee doesn't choose the girl who chose him, that girl has the right to challenge him. If the challenge is successful, the male trainee loses the opportunity to choose and is eliminated. Only the winner can choose. Of course, if you can gain sympathy, or if the girl who chose you lets you go, you can choose again. If the female trainee who chooses again has already chosen another boy, then the boy's wish will be sought first. If he also chooses the girl, then the two male trainees will compete. The loser is eliminated, and the winner has one chance to confess his feelings to the girl again."

Zhang Lexuan continued, "If multiple female students choose the same male student, and that male student chooses one of them, then the other two female students can also issue a challenge. Here I would also like to emphasize that during the challenge, we will use various methods to keep the ranks as balanced as possible."

As the event continued, the first couple to successfully pair up were Lotus and Lonely Sail, Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, Lonely Sail and Lotus, Xiao Xiao and Cai Tou, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian, and Han Ruoruo and Wang Yan. However, everyone's attention was focused on the most important aspect of this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event: who to choose? And the person at the center of this question was Huo Zhanji, though there were also those who tried to cause trouble.

…………

"Zhanji, it's your turn." Beibei's gaze turned to Huo Zhanji.

Zhang Lexuan said, "Given that Huo Zhanji is favored by four girls at the same time, each of the four girls can now say one sentence to him to express their wishes, from left to right."

Ling Luochen said calmly, "Choose what you like, don't force yourself if you don't."

Ning Tian smiled slightly and said, "My Seven Treasures Glazed Glass and I are willing to stay by your side and be the women by your side."

Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly and said, "Zhanji, it's your choice. I will support you."

Finally, it was Wang Dong'er's turn. Wearing a bamboo hat, Wang Dong'er hesitated for a moment before making an unexpected move. One yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings rose one by one from beneath her feet. At the same time as the spirit rings rose, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, a pair of enormous wings spread out behind her, and the dazzling blue-gold light instantly reflected on the surrounding lake water, creating a shimmering halo.

"Huo Zhanji, you can make your choice now," Zhang Lexuan said.

Huo Zhanji thought for a moment, then said domineeringly, "I choose to have both."

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan exchanged a glance in the audience. Xu Sanshi sighed, "Did I jinx it?"

"The truth is out," Jiang Nannan said helplessly.

On the lake, He Caitou and Xiao Xiao nearly slipped on the ice. "What a ruthless person!"

Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat puzzled. But at this moment, Zhang Lexuan displayed the demeanor of a senior disciple of the inner academy, saying, "According to the past rules of the Sea God's Fate, it is true that male students often choose girls, but since male students are challenging the rules, they must accept the challenge from the academies present and demonstrate sufficient strength."

Zhang Lexuan originally intended to warn Huo Zhanji, but just as she was about to speak, Elder Xuan and Dean Yan suddenly communicated telepathically, which made her change her mind.

Huo Zhanji glanced at the group and said, "I've already made it clear that whether we can achieve our goal is up to us, but I need to deal with the matters at hand first."

"Hmm." The three women, along with Wang Dong'er who had taken off her straw hat, said in unison.

Huo Zhanji flashed to the center of Sea God Lake and shouted at the crowd, "Student Huo Zhanji challenges the rules today: will you come one by one, or will I challenge you all by myself?"

Just then, a voice rang out, "I challenge Huo Zhanji."

All eyes turned to the young man, whose face was gloomy yet held a hint of cunning triumph. Dai Huabin finally lost his temper and challenged Huo Zhanji to a duel.

"Who is your chosen companion?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

Without hesitation, Dai Huabin replied, "Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Xie Huan Yue."

Huo Zhanji's eyes flickered slightly. So, Wu Feng was waiting for him here.

Wu Feng shouted, "I'm going to find Xie Huanyue. He should be on the shore." With that, he flashed out, his feet touching the water, and headed towards the shore.

Zhang Lexuan also asked Huo Zhanji, "Zhanji, do you accept this method?"

Huo Zhanji nodded: "To me, one person or a group makes no difference. Let's all come at once to save time."

He could tell that Dai Huabin and Wu Feng were deliberately trying to cause trouble for him, hoping to stir up some chaos...

"What should we do?" Zhang Lexuan asked Beibei in a low voice.

Beibei smiled slightly: "Let Huo Zhanji do it."

"One against four?" Zhang Lexuan hesitated.

Bei Bei transmitted her voice, "Have you forgotten? Huo Zhanji is also a member of the Sea God Pavilion. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Huo Zhanji is the strongest, not to mention..."

While Zhang Lexuan was discussing things with Beibei, Xie Huanyue had already been brought back by Wufeng. They immediately joined Dai Huabin.

Wu Feng hysterically asked herself, "Is it just because Huo Zhanji is stronger than me? No, he might not be stronger than me!" Intense jealousy and her distorted feelings for Ning Tian erupted again, and her hatred for Huo Zhanji rose to an unprecedented level. In contrast, Dai Huabin's emotions were much more stable. From beginning to end, his hatred for Huo Zhanji never diminished.
