Under such circumstances, the final result had already been revealed. Without a doubt, Long Hong was the winner.
As for Yan Chutian, he wasn't the fifth, but the fourth.
Although it was a little different from what he had expected, it wasn't a problem for Yan Chutian. Furthermore, with such a dazzling winner like Long Hong, he believed that the daughter of the City Lord wouldn't take a fancy to him.
After that, it was naturally the end of the competition. Under everyone's gazes, Yan Chutian and the other four followed the City Lord to the majestic City Lord's Manor.
But even if they were gone, the commotion caused by the competition wouldn't die down so easily.
Especially in this competition, there was actually a dark horse that appeared. Although the dark horse didn't surprisingly win the first place, he was only at the eighth level of the Elixir Realm and had obtained the fourth place. This was enough to make countless cultivators look up to him.
Not long after following the City Lord, Yan Chutian arrived at the City Lord's Manor.
The decorations in the City Lord's Manor were extremely luxurious. But it was understandable. After all, this was the residence of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Palace Realm. Naturally, it couldn't be shabby or plain.
While observing, Yan Chutian carefully concealed his aura and paid close attention to the City Lord's reaction.
The City Lord's cultivation was close to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Palace Realm, so he was no different from an ant in his eyes.
It was better to be safe than sorry. If the City Lord recognized his identity, only death would await him.
But what made Yan Chutian heave a sigh of relief was that this God City's City Lord did not seem to notice her. As his gaze shifted, he paid more attention to Long Hong and Wang Mang.
Thinking about it, the dark horse that he displayed wasn't comparable to the two of them. So the City Lord would naturally look at the two of them when choosing a son-in-law.
Not to mention that Long Hong and Wang Mang were both people with backgrounds. Compared to a wandering cultivator like him, they were much more suitable.
At the same time, the City Lord's reaction caused Yan Chutian to heave a sigh of relief. However, it caused the two people around him to lower their gazes in disappointment.
Their thoughts were different from Yan Chutian's. They were all here for the position of the City Lord's son-in-law. They knew that the position of son-in-law was not completely decided based on the ranking of the competition, so they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
But now, the City Lord of the Divine City clearly didn't think much of them, so how could they not feel gloomy?
When they arrived at the City Lord Mansion, there were already servant girls who had long been prepared. One by one, they stepped forward to lead Yan Chutian and the other four to their respective guest rooms.
With how much the City Lord of God City loved his daughter, the winner of this competition wouldn't become his daughter's husband just because he won.
All those who enter
Five meant that they could stay in the City Lord's Mansion for three days. During these three days, it was clear that he wanted his daughter to choose a Dao Companion of her own accord.
Of course, these three days weren't forced, but as long as they stayed for three days, they could make a request to the City Lord before leaving.
Yan Chutian already knew about these rules. Hence, under the guidance of the servant girl, he slowly walked towards one of the guest rooms in the luxurious City Lord's Mansion.
Yan Chutian was clear that in these three days, the City Lord's Mansion would not restrict their movements. In fact, this was also a form of indication that they could casually go to the City Lord's daughter to display themselves and obtain a favorable impression.
However, Yan Chutian didn't have such thoughts. He wasn't interested in the position of the City Lord's son-in-law. He took the risk to participate in this competition for the sake of two spots in the Inter-continent Teleportation Array.
Hence, he was even prepared to cultivate in seclusion in this guest room for three days until he left.
However, after cultivating in this guest room for less than half a day, when the night was dark, Yan Chutian felt that there seemed to be an aura outside his guest room.
Then, there was a clear knock on the door. However, other than that, there was no other movement.
Slowly stopping his cultivation, Yan Chutian slowly walked to the door and opened it. He wasn't worried that he would be threatened in the City Lord's Mansion.
In the City Lord's Mansion, unless the City Lord discovered his identity, no one would dare to make a move against him even if they had ten times the guts.
However, even so, when Yan Chutian opened the door and saw the figure outside, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Because the person who appeared at the door was actually the purple-clothed woman.
This purple-clothed woman was the City Lord's daughter!
Seeing that the City Lord's daughter appeared in front of his room on the night he moved into the City Lord's Mansion. If Yan Chutian really came here with the intention of finding a spouse through the competition, his heart would be filled with endless charm.
However, Yan Chutian didn't come here for the competition. Moreover, when he saw the purple-clothed woman, he immediately thought that maybe it wasn't an illusion when he felt her gaze on him at the Divine City Square.
In other words, she had been paying attention to him at the Divine City Square. How could Yan Chutian continue to be calm and not tense up?
However, no matter how tense his heart was, Yan Chutian's expression didn't change. With an extremely calm tone, he slowly said, "May I know why Miss has suddenly come to visit?"
However, Yan Chutian realized that after he finished speaking, the purple-clothed woman didn't answer him at all. Instead, she immediately stepped into the room and closed the door.
While Yan Chutian was still puzzled, the purple-clothed woman's soft voice finally sounded.
"I'm sorry."
The sudden words made Yan Chutian completely confused. However, he vaguely felt that the figure was somewhat familiar.
However, that familiarity also contained a sense of unfamiliarity. Because it seemed to be an impression from a very long time ago.
The purple-clothed woman saw Yan Chutian's reaction. She knew why. She was afraid that he had long forgotten about her in the depths of time.
However, she couldn't say any words of resentment because she was the one who had caused all of this.
To put it more bluntly, she reaped what she sowed.
The purple-clothed woman also thought that it would be fine as long as she helped him silently. She didn't even want Yan Chutian to know of her existence.
However, he was in the City Lord's Mansion. It could even be said that he was right in front of her. In the end, she couldn't control the emotions in her heart.
She didn't hope that he would forgive her and reconcile with her. However, she only hoped that he would know that she was still alive. She also knew that she already regretted it.
If she could do it all over again, she wouldn't hesitate to pay a huge price!
"Cough cough … Miss, you must be joking. I have never met Miss before. How can I be sorry? If Miss wants to apologize for not choosing me, then there is no need. Love has never existed … "
Although his mind was in a mess, Yan Chutian still immediately came up with an excuse. However, before he finished speaking, the purple-clothed woman in front of him finally took off the veil that covered her face.
When he saw the familiar face under the veil, even though Yan Chutian always thought that he was calm enough, the words in his mouth completely froze at this moment. He couldn't say anything else.
Zhou Yuexi!
In an instant, Yan Chutian's mind was only left with these three unfamiliar yet familiar words.
He would never have thought that the woman from the past would actually meet him again under such circumstances.
However, towards this woman, he never owed her anything. There was only a deep hatred!
The young man was in love and protected her with all his might. However, when faced with an opportunity, he was betrayed by the woman in the most heartless way.
No matter how much time had passed, even if his mind was much more mature than before, even if he thought that he had already forgotten this memory.
However, when they met again, Yan Chutian could clearly feel that those scenes were like a flood, surging out.
At the same time, Yan Chutian also knew that the other party must have found out about his true identity from somewhere.
Otherwise, her reaction and words would not be like this!
Looking at Yan Chutian in front of her, the purple-clothed woman, who was Zhou Yuexi, also trembled violently.
This scene made her understand that the other party had indeed not completely forgotten her. However, this kind of memory did not exist in the form of missing, but in the form of hatred.
But clearly, in the past, they both had feelings!
