Just as Linlong reached the door, Lotus hurriedly walked over from the other side. She was holding a bundle in her hand, and after glancing at Linlong, a timid expression appeared on her face.
"Young Master, I'm afraid it'll be tiring for you to head to Nanyue City alone. I'll let Lotus accompany you and serve you," Huo Jidong said from behind Linlong.
Huo Jidong thought that Linlong had taken a liking to Lotus. He'd been able to develop in Luoyan City up to this point because he was clever.
Linlong shook his head. "There's no need. Lotus can continue to stay in the Huo Family."
Lotus' expression immediately changed when she heard this. She immediately knelt down and asked in fear and trepidation, "Young Master, did I do something wrong?"
"Lotus, you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I like someone," Linlong said with a smile.
He'd only saved Lotus because she was pitiful. He didn't mean that he had to take her away.
He'd saved Lotus and changed her fate. That was already enough. He didn't need to do too much.
"Young Master, Lotus will never forget your kindness!" Linlong's words made Lotus feel disappointed, but with her personality, she naturally wouldn't take it to heart. Instead, she thanked Linlong with tears of gratitude.
"Lotus, live a good life." With that, Linlong walked outside.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll definitely treat Lotus like my own daughter," Huo Jidong said loudly behind Linlong.
Although his son's cultivation had been crippled because of Lotus, Huo Jidong didn't dare do anything to her. Not only did he not dare do anything to her, but he even had to treat her well. He didn't want Linlong to come looking for him again.
If that happened, the Huo Family would probably disappear from the face of the earth.
After leaving the Huo Family, Linlong spent half a day arriving at Nanyue City.
Nanyue City was about the same size as Luoyan City.
As soon as he entered, Linlong saw banners for a joust for a spouse everywhere.
He found a random inn to stay in, then went to register. The day of the joust for a spouse arrived the next day.
However, this joust for a spouse was also interesting. It wasn't a challenge tournament where the first place would win the heart of the beauty.
Instead, it was through another kind of competition. This competition was to obtain something in order to bring home the beauty and become the son-in-law of the illustrious Song Family.
This was what Huo Jidong had told him before he left the Huo family.
As for what kind of competition it was, it would have to wait until the Eldest Miss of the Song Clan met with the young heroes this morning.
One morning, Linlong walked out of the inn and followed the group to the largest plaza in Southjoy City.
The Song Clan naturally had their own space, but there was no way they could accommodate so many people flooding into Southjoy City. As a result, they had no choice but to use the largest plaza in Southjoy City.
Not long after Lin Long entered the square, the meeting with Miss Song was about to begin.
At this moment, the huge square was already packed with people. Looking at the scale, there were at least thirty to forty thousand people, and most of them were young people.
And this was just the people who could enter South Joy City. There were many people who couldn't even enter South Joy City due to their status and strength.
As for Linlong, he had used the identity of a disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy to enter.
It was just a martial arts competition for a spouse, yet so many people had come. One could imagine just how powerful the Song Clan was, to the point where all these people wanted to become the Song Clan's son-in-law.
Thinking was just thinking, but most of them were probably just here to watch the show. After all, it was impossible to become the Song Clan's son-in-law without a bit of strength.
"There are so many people this time."
"That's not too many. If it wasn't for the fact that the announcement was so tight and so many people couldn't make it in time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough people to enter even if there was another plaza like this."
"It's because the Song Clan is so powerful that everyone wants to become their son-in-law."
"I wonder what the Song Clan's Eldest Miss looks like?"
"I heard that she's devastatingly beautiful."
"Ah, is that so? Then I'm going to take first place even if I have to break my scalp."
"You? Forget it. If you can take first place, I'll eat the rocks on the ground. "
"If I can't, can you?"
…
A faint smile appeared on Linlong's face as he listened to the discussions of the people around him.
To be honest, he had no interest in this joust for a spouse, and he had even less interest in the Song Clan's Eldest Miss. He had only come here because of Wu Qing's prophecy.
It was at this moment that a person walked up the stage. This person was tall and sturdy, and had a square face. He looked dignified without being angry.
He scanned the entire plaza with a hawk-like gaze, then slowly said, "I am Song Ze, the Song Clan's Patriarch. This joust for a spouse is held for my daughter with the intention of finding a suitable son-in-law. It's only been a few days since the news was released, but so many heroes have come here. I'm very touched …"
Song Ze's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the plaza to hear clearly.
Not only that, but his voice also carried a kind of pressure that made those who were weak or had a guilty conscience involuntarily feel fear in their hearts, causing them to break out in cold sweat.
"Since this person is that Eldest Miss' father, it's better that I, Zhao Kai, don't take first place." Hearing Song Ze's voice, the person beside Linlong who had just said that he would take first place was so frightened that he directly said such words.
In his opinion, rather than being frightened by his father-in-law all day long after taking first place, it was better for him not to take first place.
If it was before, he would definitely be laughed at by the people around him for saying such words. But now, no one laughed at him because they could all feel how terrifying Song Ze was.
At this moment, they finally realized that the Patriarch of such a large clan wasn't someone they could easily face.
After Song Ze spoke eloquently, he paused for a moment.
At this moment, someone below the stage shouted, "Patriarch Song, I've heard that the joust for a spouse this time isn't going to be decided through the usual method of fighting on the stage. Instead, it's going to be another method. I wonder if Patriarch Song can introduce it in detail before the competition?"
"Of course. Apart from letting all of you meet my daughter this morning, I'll also introduce the rules in detail." Song Ze nodded, then continued, "I wonder if all of you would like to hear the rules first or meet my daughter first?"
Hearing this, the crowd below the stage immediately broke into an uproar.
"Patriarch Song, let's meet Miss Song first."
"Patriarch Song, I would like to hear the rules first."
For a moment, it was unknown how many people shouted.
However, it was obvious that most of them wanted to meet Miss Song. After all, even though the rules didn't specify what they were, they had already revealed a lot.
However, many people had never seen Eldest Miss Song before. No, even those who lived in Nan Yue City for a long time had never seen her.
The reason for this was because Eldest Miss Song rarely went out, so it wasn't easy to meet her.
"Since that's the case, then let everyone see my daughter first." Song Ze turned around and said to the curtain, "Qianqian, come out."
