Withdrawing from the Betrothal Contest
Everyone's attention was focused on Luo Zheng. The leaders of the other factions began to rack their brains, wondering if there were any outstanding women in their clans. Even if they were to become Luo Zheng's concubines, it would not matter. As long as they could establish a good relationship with him, it would be good karma.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. Your strength has reached such a level."
Lv Gaoye said with a smile when he saw Luo Zheng approaching him.
As a matter of fact, Lv Gaoye was feeling a little embarrassed.
Last night, he had even said that Luo Zheng was no match for Hao Feiyu, and that he would send him away.
After a slight ponder, Lv Gaoye lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, even though you've severed Hao Feiyu's arm, it happened during the contest. The South Sea Sword Sect has no excuse to trouble you. Our Lv clan has some precious herbs that can mend bones and tendons. We can just send some to the South Sea Sword Sect. As for the sword that Daoist Dragon Sword said was lost by the South Sea Sword Sect, the Ancestor of our Lv clan will go and negotiate with them. "
"Thank you for your kindness, First Elder. I'll settle the conflict between me and the South Sea Sword Sect."
Luo Zheng shook his head and said calmly, "I've exhausted all my strength and can no longer fight. I can only withdraw from the contest. Please forgive me, First Elder."
"What!? You're withdrawing!? "
When Lv Gaoye heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
The First Elder of the Lv clan was both anxious and furious. He almost jumped up and thought to himself, "Kid, you're so cruel. There are only three rounds left, and no one dares to challenge you, yet you're withdrawing. Are you toying with me?"
Even though Luo Zheng's voice was not loud, the people at the scene were not weak. How could they not hear it?
"Oh, Luo Zheng is withdrawing from the contest?"
The crowd was stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief.
The people of the Lv clan exchanged glances with one another. Their expressions were extremely unpleasant.
Even though Luo Zheng had claimed that he had exhausted all his strength and could no longer fight, no one dared to challenge him. Withdrawing now was equivalent to slapping the Lv clan's face!
The Lu Clan was speechless. Could it be that the competition didn't allow people to withdraw?
No matter what, this could not be justified.
"Luo Zheng, what have you done to our Lu family's face?"
Lv Gaofeng transmitted his voice to Luo Zheng with a cold expression.
"Patriarch Lu, last night at the banquet, Hao Feiyu attacked me. In the end, the Lu Clan didn't punish him at all. What do you think of my life and death? If I'm unable to block Hao Feiyu's sword, then wouldn't I have died for nothing? "
Luo Zheng countered without batting an eyelid.
His withdrawal from the competition had nothing to do with whether the Lu Clan would punish Hao Feiyu or not.
However, it was impossible for Luo Zheng to not be angry with Lv Gaofeng's accusation.
Your Lu Family's reputation is important, but is my life worthless?
Hearing this, Lv Gaofeng's face flushed red, and he was speechless.
Luo Zheng was right. In fact, the way the Lu Clan handled this matter was indeed inappropriate.
If Hao Feiyu attacked any other important guest, the Lu Clan would definitely stop him even if they were afraid of the South Sea Sword Sect.
However, before today, the Lu Clan didn't have a good impression of Luo Zheng. In addition, after knowing his identity, they knew that he didn't have any foundation in the South Demon Sea. Naturally, they wouldn't offend Hao Feiyu for him.
Lv Gaofeng paused for a moment and stood up. With a cold expression, he said, "Hmph, if he wants to withdraw, then let him go! Don't tell me that I, Lv Gaofeng, am not afraid of not having my daughter? "
With the Lu Clan's status in the South Demon Sea, how could they request Luo Zheng to marry Lu Zimo?
The guests didn't expect this to happen. When they saw that the Lu Clan's members didn't look good, they didn't want to provoke the Lu Clan and kept quiet.
In an instant, the lively matchmaking convention became incomparably cold and cheerless. It seemed like it couldn't continue.
"The matchmaking convention will end here. Our Lu Family will send gifts to all the guests who have come to attend the matchmaking convention. If you have time, you can also stay on the Sunshine Island to enjoy the scenery. "
Lv Gaofeng announced when he saw the situation.
"Patriarch Lu, Luo Zheng has withdrawn from the matchmaking contest. We haven't started yet. Why are you stopping?"
A young martial artist with an extraordinary appearance stood up and said.
This young martial artist was about twenty to twenty-four years old. His cultivation was in the Gathering Yuan Realm. He was also a well-known genius in the South Demon Sea. His name was Zhu Wenhong and his strength wasn't weak.
If Luo Zheng, Hao Feiyu or Li Sifan were present, Zhu Wenhong wouldn't even dare to challenge them. Now that he saw the opportunity, he jumped out.
Seeing Zhu Wenhong jump out, the Lu Clan's members turned pale. The reason why Lv Gaofeng announced the cessation of the matchmaking contest was because he felt that the young talents present were too weak compared to geniuses like Luo Zheng and Hao Feiyu. None of them were worthy of Lu Zimo.
Everyone was well aware of this matter. For the sake of the Lu Clan's face, they let it go.
Zhu Wenhong mentioning it on the spot was simply courting death!
"Our Lu Clan has decided to stop. Does your Zhu Clan have any objections?"
Several powerhouses of the Lu Clan stood up and asked coldly.
"No, no. Our Wenhong doesn't understand reason and talked too much."
Several Zhu Clan clansmen jumped in fright and hurriedly pulled Zhu Wenhong away.
If the tiny Zhu Clan offended the Lu Clan, it would be a disaster.
The matchmaking convention reached such a state. Forget about ending it hastily. With this, the Lu Clan would be in an even more difficult situation.
Fortunately, the Lu Clan's influence was enormous. Although the guests were unhappy in their hearts, they could only endure it.
Who was willing to provoke the Lu Clan? No one dared to mention this matter again.
The vast majority of the guests left the Crystal Qilin Hall. After returning to the Sunshine Island, they directly took their leave.
Lv Gaofeng said it nicely, but who dared to stay to enjoy the scenery? It was staying to embarrass the Luo Clan. It was better to leave quickly.
