"Are we going to stop after the top 32, or are we going to keep competing until the champion is decided?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
"Originally, the top 32 is enough, but Qinglu said she wants you to help her win first place so she can get married in style." Yelu Nanxian chuckled, "As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. Once the competition starts, people from all over the world will want to decide the winner."
Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on, "This is troublesome. Under normal circumstances, I don't mind, but now I'm using Jia Baoyu's identity, how can I win first place?"
Yelu Nanxian gloated, "I'm not sure about that. In any case, Qinglu said she will only marry the final winner. As for how to win, you figure it out yourself."
Thinking of Li Qinglu's strange appearance, this could really be her idea. Song Qingshu was at a loss, "If that's the case, then what's the point of the written test?"
Yelu Nanxian chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of accidents happening before? If you really fail and don't win first place, Qinglu will really marry someone else. That's why we decided on the written test. After all, the written test is different from the martial test, it's easier to choose people according to our wishes."
"It's easier to manipulate things behind the scenes, I understand." Song Qingshu's worry finally turned to joy, "It seems like even though Qinglu said that, she is still on my side."
Yelu Nanxian said, "Qinglu will marry you no matter what, but her desire to marry in style is also real. So, Brother Song, it's best if you win first place for her, she will be very happy. After all, you know she can't marry you openly, so she will find some balance in this area … "
Song Qingshu replied seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely win first place." But he was secretly having a headache, how could he win first place? Once his disguise was exposed, it could easily cause a chain reaction.
"These are your opponents for tomorrow, do you want to take a look?" Yelu Nanxian turned around and took out a list.
Song Qingshu shook his head, not in the mood to look, "No need." The participants in the group selection were usually ugly people, there was no need to pay too much attention to them.
"That's true. I'll show you the matchups after the group stage results are out." Yelu Nanxian was very clear that with her lover's martial arts, even if he was one of the finalists, she didn't need to worry too much about him. Of course, whether or not he could reveal his true strength was the biggest problem.
So when the time comes, you'll definitely be pleasantly surprised by the 'gift' that Qinglu prepares for you … Thinking of all the interesting things that happened in the past, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but smile. Li Qinglu, that lass, really knew how to play tricks on people.
Song Qingshu glanced at her with a strange expression, but he just happened to recall something and didn't pursue the matter. "Right, have you set up bets for the Groom Search Competition?"
"Betting stalls?" Yelu Nanxian blanked, unable to react in time.
"This is such a good opportunity to make money. I can't let it go to waste." Song Qingshu thought of the World Cup matches in his previous life. Every time that happened, there would be a carnival of betting. Who knew how much profit it brought to the betting industry. How could he miss such an opportunity? After all, in order to support so many factions and armies, even though there were taxes, money was still flowing out like water.
"Because the match has just been announced, the gambling houses in the city can't set up the betting stalls so quickly." Yelu Nanxian replied.
"Take back all that authority, let the officials set up the betting stalls." Song Qingshu said excitedly.
Yelu Nanxian was a little troubled, "Fighting with the people for profit, it wouldn't be good if word got out."
Song Qingshu frowned, only then did he remember that the officials in this world were all righteous and righteous. If he wasn't careful, he'd be scolded to death. How could they be as efficient as the betting stalls in his previous life?
"If that's the case, then we won't show up directly. Let the gambling houses be our agents and give them some of the soup. We can also make use of their channels and expertise." Song Qingshu thought for a moment and said, "Remember to raise my payout a little, so that when the time comes, they can bet more on me."
Yelu Nanxian pursed her lips into a smile, "That won't be a problem, Class One Hall has gathered a lot of people with talents in this field. I'll let them follow up on this. By the way, do you remember what you promised me last time? "
Song Qingshu was startled, "What is it?"
Yelu Nanxian's mouth twitched, her face full of resentment, "You really forgot."
Song Qingshu broke out in a cold sweat, his mind was in a mess these days, he really couldn't remember. He was about to apologize when his eyes suddenly fell on Yelu Qi's name on the table, an idea flashed in his mind, "How could I forget, I have to accompany you to see Liao's relatives."
"You still remember?" Yelu Nanxian's worry immediately turned to joy, but she quickly sighed, "They're not my relatives, my relatives have long … they've just been away from home for a long time, I just want to see my hometown people."
Song Qingshu knew that anything he said now would be useless, so he hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.
After a while, Yelu Nanxian calmed down, blushing, and gently pushed him away, "This is Class One Hall, and I'm the Western Xia's Crown Princess, it's not good to be seen hugging another man."
Song Qingshu was depressed, "Let's wait and see when you can completely make these forces our own, then I won't have to deliberately avoid people."
Hearing him describe the scene, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but feel a little weak, she secretly spat and hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly."
Her carriage had already sent the Fu sisters, but as the Crown Princess, she couldn't only have one carriage, someone quickly prepared a backup, and the two of them went to Liao's residence.
Song Qingshu naturally wouldn't appear in the image of Jia Baoyu, so he returned to his original appearance.
When Yelu Qi heard the news, he hurriedly came out, "Yelu Qi greets Princess!" Before Yelu Nanxian got married, Liao had made her a princess.
"Brother Yelu, please get up, we're brother and sister, there's no need to say these things." Yelu Nanxian hurriedly helped him up.
"Marrying you to Western Xia, it's really hard on you." Yelu Qi sighed, in the past, he and this distant cousin of his had traveled the martial world, so he naturally knew how arrogant she was. Now, she could only marry to a border country like Western Xia, and as soon as she married, Western Xia fell into chaos, she became a widow before she even got married, her fate was so miserable that it made people pity her.
"Brother Yelu is worrying too much, sharing the country's worries is my duty, not to mention, I also saved my family, what's there to regret?" Yelu Nanxian calmly replied.
Yelu Qi was a little surprised, the other's mood wasn't as miserable as he imagined.
"Brother Yelu, I also brought an acquaintance." Yelu Nanxian's face heated up, she didn't know why she felt a little embarrassed.
"Who?" Yelu Qi curiously asked.
Yelu Nanxian had Liao and the others leave, then beckoned to the door, "Brother Song, come in."
Seeing Song Qingshu come in, Yelu Qi's eyes widened, "My Lord, I haven't seen you for so long, I didn't expect to see you here."
Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Don't be so distant, you're my brother-in-law."
Yelu Qi seriously said, "If it weren't for you risking your life to escort us, my family would have been destroyed long ago. Not to mention, you gave us a place to settle down, and later successfully brought us back to Liao, I can't thank you enough."
Feeling the sincerity in his tone, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh, Yelu Qi was indeed a gentleman.
