Everyone present was silent. What did he mean by something other than the martial arts assembly? Almost everyone's eyes fell on Miss Murong. Miss Murong was originally looking at Young Master Qingchen in a daze, but now she was ashamed and angry, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
"Rude brat!" Murong Xiong flew into a rage and slapped the air in the direction of Xu Qingchen's seat. The air was so strong that it was almost suffocating, and it pressed down on Xu Qingchen from all directions.
"Young Master Qingchen!" The two guards beside Xu Qingchen were shocked and stepped forward, one in front and one behind Xu Qingchen. Ling Tiehan, who was sitting beside Xu Qingchen, also put a hand on Xu Qingchen's shoulder at the same time. The two guards in front of Xu Qingchen swayed, but soon they stood still. A trace of blood flowed out of the lips of the man standing in front, but he didn't seem to feel the pain. He wiped the blood away and was helped back to stand behind Xu Qingchen by his companion. Ling Tiehan also calmly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were still vigilantly staring at Murong Xiong in front of him. His sharp eyes revealed a hint of eagerness.
Xu Qingchen sat calmly behind the table, and even his hair didn't move in the slightest. It was as if the murderous palm didn't happen at all. Young Master Qingchen took a sip of tea and thanked him gracefully, "Thank you, Senior Murong, for showing mercy."
Murong Xiong snorted and sat back in his seat, no longer speaking. He stared at Xu Qingchen with eyes full of gloominess and inquiry. Murong Xiong certainly couldn't kill Xu Qingchen. Perhaps it would be easy to kill Xu Qingchen. Murong Xiong even felt that it wouldn't be difficult to kill Mo Xiuyao with his martial arts. But as long as he wasn't crazy, he couldn't do that. He could kill Xu Qingchen and Mo Xiuyao, but he couldn't kill hundreds of thousands of Mohist army. When the time came, the Mohist army would flatten the Murong family. The so-called bargaining chip was a bargaining chip because it was useless to hold it in one's hand. Once it was used, it would be a life and death battle.
Murong Xiong was slapped in the face by Xu Qingchen on the spot. Naturally, Master Murong's face didn't look good either. He put away all the nonsense he had prepared and announced the start of the martial arts tournament with an indifferent expression.
In truth, according to the usual practice, there was not much to see on the first day of the martial arts tournament. The first day was mostly filled with rookies from Jianghu going up to fight. The real excitement came on the second and third days. Of course, sometimes the third day of the competition would end very quickly, and sometimes it would extend to the fourth or fifth day, depending on the strength of the remaining experts. When the martial arts competition on the stage began, the people who were watching the excitement were naturally excited, but the people who were sitting below the stage were already somewhat absent-minded.
Under a tree not far away, Ye Li leaned against Mo Xiuyao's chest and frowned as she watched the people on stage. Mo Xiuyao patted her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Big Brother is fine."
Xu Qingchen had clearly calculated that Murong Xiong wouldn't dare to kill him, so he chose to sit beside Ling Tiehan. As long as Murong Xiong didn't use all his strength, Ling Tiehan could block it for him. At that time, no matter whether Xu Qingchen was injured or not, Murong Xiong's reputation for attacking a weak person would be set. Ye Li nodded and asked, "How is Murong Xiong's martial arts?"
Mo Xiuyao frowned and said, "Far above me and Ling Tiehan." This conclusion wasn't surprising. Murong Xiong's age was much higher than theirs. Not to mention that Murong Xiong was a martial arts genius, even if his aptitude was ordinary, at this age, he still couldn't be underestimated.
"What did Murong Xiong mean just now?" Ye Li asked with a frown.
Mo Xiuyao laughed and said, "What could it mean? When he saw that I didn't go, he felt that our Prince Ding Mansion didn't give him face. Some old people like to take advantage of their seniority and think that everyone in the world should act according to their mood. They don't even see if he has the ability to do so. "
Ye Li tilted her head and looked at the people on the stage. She pursed her lips and said, "I think … Miss Murong might have a different opinion from Murong Xiong and the head of the Murong family. But … Miss Murong won't be able to enter the Xu family's door. "Ever since Xu Qingchen appeared, Miss Murong's eyes never left Xu Qingchen. If it wasn't for the veil covering her face and the martial arts competition on the stage diverting everyone's attention, I'm afraid that many people present would be able to perceive her feelings.
Mo Xiuyao supported Ye Li and said in a low voice, "Li doesn't like her?" Ye Li smiled and said, "There's nothing to like or dislike. Big brother and the Xu family won't like her."
Mo Xiuyao wasn't interested in who Xu Qingchen liked or disliked. He stood up straight and said, "It seems that there's nothing to see today. Let's go back to the city first. Perhaps there will be a good show tomorrow or the day after. "
The two people quietly left the stage and didn't attract too much attention. However, when they returned to An City, the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Inn was quite surprised. After all, there was such a lively event outside the city. It was strange for these two to come back so early. Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said that his beloved wife wasn't feeling well, so he came back first. The shopkeeper immediately showed an understanding expression as he respectfully sent the two upstairs. After all, no matter how handsome this young master was, he was still married. Naturally, he had no fate with Miss Murong. Then it wasn't that important whether or not they watched the competition, right?
Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li didn't personally attend the competition on the first and second day. Mo Xiuyao was an expert at this level, so he naturally didn't care about the small fights between the so-called experts on the stage. He only heard that in these two days, there were a few young experts who stood out and killed their way into the top ten. Among them was Ren Qi Ning, who they had met several times. At the same time, the head of the Murong family announced at the end of the second day that he would choose a husband for his granddaughter from the top ten experts. Once this announcement was made, it was unknown how many people were stirred up. At the same time, a letter from Xu Qingchen was delivered to Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao's room.
"Big brother, what are your plans?" In Xu Qingchen's room, Ye Li sat at the table and drank tea. Mo Xiuyao leisurely leaned against the window and enjoyed the scenery in the distance. Xu Qingchen sat to the side and looked at Ye Li. Then he turned to Mo Xiuyao and said, "Prince, what do you think?" Mo Xiuyao turned around and lazily said, "Didn't I leave this matter to brother Qingchen to handle? Brother Qingchen can do as he sees fit. This small matter shouldn't be too difficult for brother Qingchen, right? "
Xu Qingchen didn't comment and lightly said, "Murong Xiong's idea is indeed whimsical, but there are definitely many people who are interested in this matter. After all … the Murong family's wealth is comparable to a country. Before today, Mo Jingqi had already sent people to contact the head of the Murong family. "
Mo Xiuyao coldly snorted and said, "Mo Jingqi is becoming less and less picky. Whatever smells good or smells bad, he's taking it back." Xu Qingchen helplessly smiled and said, "Prince doesn't need to be so harsh. Let's not talk about Miss Murong for now. At the very least, the wealth of the Murong family can only be fought for by anyone."
From the perspective of an official, Xu Qingchen would also advise Mo Xiuyao to marry a girl from the Murong family. After all, marrying a girl to obtain such a large amount of wealth, why not? However, Mo Xiuyao was not only the person he had to support, but also his brother-in-law. For Li 'er, the Murong family should not even think about setting foot in the Prince Ding Mansion. But what the Prince Ding Mansion doesn't want, he can't let anyone else have it! Xu Qingchen's gentle eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.
"Big brother?" Ye Li somewhat worriedly looked at Xu Qingchen. Mo Xiuyao stubbornly pushed everything to his big brother. Although his big brother's intelligence was outstanding, the people he had to come into contact with were all people of the Wulin. Sometimes people of Jianghu moved faster than their brains, so there was still a certain amount of danger.
Xu Qingchen indifferently smiled, "No matter, Li 'er, don't worry. Big brother will take care of everything." No one can threaten Li' er's position and happiness. Even if it was the number one expert fifty years ago.
"Prince, if you want to deal with Murong Xiong, do you have confidence?" Xu Qingchen asked.
Mo Xiuyao frowned and muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "At most, I only have a thirty percent chance. Murong Xiong's internal energy is far above mine. If I can't end the fight quickly, the one who loses in the end will be me. "Ordinary experts fight with internal energy and physical strength. But for experts at their level, the so-called physical strength has no meaning. So as long as Murong Xiong isn't old to the point of dying, they won't have the chance to compete with him in terms of physical strength. Because he can firmly suppress them with his internal energy. So Murong Xiong's old age can't be considered a weakness.
Xu Qingchen casually tapped on the table and asked after a while, "If one Prince isn't enough, then what about two or three?"
"You mean …" Mo Xiuyao stood up and stared at Xu Qingchen. Xu Qingchen looked down and calmly said, "Murong family's ambition isn't small, but Murong Xiong is old. That temperament … sooner or later he'll be a disaster! "His calm tone carried a faint killing intent. Mo Xiuyao stared at him for a while before saying, "There's no need for three. I and Ling Tiehan or Lei Zhenting can deal with Murong Xiong."
"That's good." Xu Qingchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then … maybe we don't need Prince Ding to come out." If Mo Xiuyao and Ling Tiehan or Lei Zhenting can deal with Murong Xiong, then even without Mo Xiuyao, they can still deal with Murong Xiong.
"Big brother, Murong Xiong's martial arts are too high. I'm afraid the Murong family isn't completely unprepared. You must be careful." Ye Li said softly.
Xu Qingchen nodded with a warm smile, but there was a slight sharpness between his brows, "Li 'er, don't worry."
"Reporting to Young Master Qingchen, Miss Murong requests an audience." The guard outside the door respectfully reported.
Xu Qingchen frowned and lightly said, "Invite Miss Murong up."
