"That guy didn't even look at me," Second Young Mistress Su Qingqing muttered to herself on the other side.
Unexpectedly, her voice was a little loud and was overheard by the servant girl beside her. The servant girl asked curiously, "Second Young Mistress, didn't you hate him to death before? Why are you …"
"You little girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Su Qingqing turned and rolled her eyes at her.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm just a little puzzled," the servant girl continued.
It was a rare opportunity to tease her master, so how could she let it go? After all, she had always been bullied by Su Qingqing.
"If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe that I'll marry you off to that bald butcher in the east tomorrow?" Su Qingqing said fiercely.
Hearing this, the servant girl immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "Young Mistress, you're the best. I don't want to marry anyone. I want to serve you forever."
"Get to the point!" Su Qingqing continued to widen her eyes.
"Alright, I won't gossip anymore." The servant girl quickly surrendered.
"That's more like it." Su Qingqing couldn't help but smile proudly.
However, she subconsciously looked in a certain direction and quickly pouted because she realized that Su Qingqing still didn't even look in her direction.
When Su Ranran saw this, a smile appeared on her face.
She had noticed the changes in Su Qingqing over the past few days. Originally, Su Qingqing wanted to do something to that person all day long. Not only that, but she also dragged her and Aunt Lan into it. Now, although she still mentioned that person all day long, she no longer looked like she wanted to tear that person into pieces. Instead, she kept asking about that person.
However, how would they know what Linlong was like in the past? Even the servant girls only heard some groundless and insignificant things.
Who would have thought that Su Qingqing would actually listen to such things with great interest?
It seemed that this girl had fallen in love. However, it was fine if that was the case. After all, they were already engaged. Moreover, Linlong was quite powerful. It would be fine as long as he didn't make the same mistakes as before. These thoughts flashed through Su Ranran's mind.
Originally, she was worried that Su Qingqing was being forced or something. However, Su Qingqing didn't mention anything like that these days, so the bad thoughts in her mind disappeared without a trace.
Following that, as the drawing of lots continued, the list of groups quickly reached the last group, the fourth group.
To be honest, Linlong also had to pay attention to the Luo Family's list. After all, if Luo Xiong could say something like that that day, it meant that he definitely had something up his sleeve.
The names that were read at the beginning did not attract much attention from Linlong. Even Luo Lingfeng, who was the strongest of the Luo Clan's younger generation on paper, did not cause any ripples in his heart.
However, an unknown name from the Luo Family in the fourth group caught Linlong's attention.
Luo Lingjun!
This was a name that he had never heard of before. Of course, there were so many people in the younger generation of the Luo Clan, so it was not strange that he had never heard of some people's names. However, if it was someone with great strength but was unknown, then he had to pay attention to it.
Turning his head to look at the Luo Clan's square formation, he saw a bald youth also looking in his direction. For a moment, their gazes collided like Mars colliding with Earth.
Apart from his bald head, the most eye-catching thing about this young man was his sinister aura.
When he saw Lin Long looking over, the youth actually smiled provocatively at him.
It seemed like this person was Luo Xiong's trump card. Linlong smiled faintly at the other party.
The first confrontation between the two of them was so simple and casual.
After the lot-drawing ended, Lin Long went to the Lin family's housekeeper, Elder Liu, who was known as the know-it-all, to ask about Luo Lingjun's situation.
"Elder Liu, are you familiar with Luo Lingjun?" Linlong asked.
"I have a slight impression of this Luo Lingjun." Elder Liu nodded and continued, "Luo Lingjun left Chuxi Town when he was seven or eight, so it's normal that Young Master Linlong doesn't know him."
"Oh, then why did he leave Chuxi Town?"
"I don't know about that, and he just came back in the past few days," Elder Liu continued.
"You just came back a few days ago?" Linlong frowned.
"Yes, I don't know why he left Chuxi Town all these years," Elder Liu said.
"Elder Liu, are you sure he's Luo Lingjun who left Chuxi Town back then?" Linlong continued to ask.
"That's right, it's him. Although he's been gone for so many years, I remember him the moment I see him," Elder Liu said without hesitation.
"Young Master Linlong, why are you asking this?" Elder Liu asked curiously.
"Nothing, I'm just curious why there's such a person all of a sudden," Linlong said.
"Young Master Linlong, don't worry. The various large families are very strict when it comes to the qualifications of the participants. They definitely won't allow anyone over the age of 20 to participate in the martial arts competition," Elder Liu said.
"In that case, I can rest assured." Linlong smiled faintly.
He naturally did not worry about the various large families in this aspect, but there was always someone better out there. There were countless ways in the world, and it was uncertain what methods could be used to pass their inspection.
However, since Elder Liu could recognize Luo Lingjun at first glance, it meant that Luo Lingjun was not a fake. He was not a Martial Master expert over the age of 20 who suppressed his cultivation and pretended to be Luo Lingjun.
This was what Linlong was afraid of. Since that was not the case, there was nothing for him to worry about.
Of course, if that was really the case, Linlong was naturally not worried that Luo Lingjun had been suppressing his cultivation. What Linlong was worried about was that Luo Lingjun would brazenly expose his cultivation.
The day passed as usual. After resting for a night, the group from the Lin family headed to the market again.
The venue for the competition was where the previous stage in the market was. However, there was no longer just one stage. In order to make it easier for the competition to be carried out at the same time, the various large families had built three new stages beside the original one.
The four stages were more than enough to deal with the competition.
Yesterday, they had only drawn lots for the groups, so there weren't many people in Chuxi Town. However, it was different today. When the martial arts competition officially began, the people who came basically filled the entire market. As for the surroundings of the stage, it was completely packed.
After the eldest clan leader announced the official start of the martial arts competition, the first match began.
The first match was for the first group. On one side was Fangzheng and a youth from another family clan.
Although Chuxi Town was only a small town, there were quite a number of families in the town. Other than the relatively stronger Lin family, Fang family, Hao family, and Luo family, there were also quite a number of small families.
