Many people in the pugilistic world used martial arts competitions to find a spouse, but most of them were used by small aristocratic families.
There were also many young people with potential among the rogue cultivators. Some of the descendants of small aristocratic families were disappointing. However, if they had a beautiful daughter, they would use the method of martial arts to find a spouse. They would choose a young warrior with potential to marry their daughter. At the same time, it could also help their family in the future.
However, with the Wu County's Luo Family's influence and Luo Fei-hung's strength, did they need these things?
Chu Xiu couldn't help but wonder, "The Wu County's Luo Family is also using martial arts competitions to find a spouse? If an Itinerant Cultivator really wins the competition, would the Wu County's Luo Family really dare to marry Luo Fei-hung to an Itinerant Cultivator? "
Guan Siyu shook her head and said, "Of course the Luo Family wouldn't do such an idiotic thing. This so-called martial arts competition for a spouse is very suspicious. At the very least, the people the Luo Family invited are the outstanding disciples of various aristocratic families. With them, how can an Itinerant Cultivator stand a chance?
However, I heard that Luo Fei-hung did something outrageous and angered the Luo Family's Elders. That's why the Luo Family wants to marry Luo Fei-hung as soon as possible.
Moreover, this time, Luo Fei-hung has no choice but to marry. The Wu County's Luo Family's strength has been declining in recent years. Not only is the older generation of Martial Artists getting old, but there is also no one in the younger generation who can shoulder the responsibility of the family except for Luo Fei-hung. That's why the Luo Family is so anxious to get married.
In this martial arts competition for a spouse, the Wu County's Luo Family even invited the heir of the Shangshui Ying Family, 'Young Master Peerless', Ying Bailu. According to the news, the Luo Family has long been in contact with the Ying Family. If there are no accidents, this martial arts competition for a spouse is just a show. In the end, the winner will definitely be Ying Bailu. This so-called martial arts competition for a spouse will become an engagement ceremony to show the pugilistic world that the Luo Family also has external help, and an extremely strong one at that. "
Chu Xiu frowned slightly. Things had changed too much. How did the Ying family of Shangshui City get involved?
Among the Nine Great Clans, the Shangshui Ying Clan was the current leader of the Nine Great Clans and also the one with the longest history. In fact, the Shangshui Ying Clan had existed even before the Great Calamity of the Ancient Age.
Legend had it that the Ying family of Shangshui had the bloodline of the Ancient Imperial Family. However, for some reason, the Ying family had set up a rule that forbade their disciples from having anything to do with the Imperial Court.
It was said that thousands of years ago, there was a collateral disciple of the Ying Clan who walked out of the Ying Clan of Shang Shui and founded a dynasty. However, when he wanted to turn the entire Ying Clan of Shang Shui into a royal family, the Ying Clan expelled this disciple from the Ying Clan's genealogy and sealed off the clan. It was not until the dynasty was destroyed that the Ying Clan reappeared in Jianghu.
The Shangshui Ying Clan had a very long history, and they had countless trump cards. All these legends only served to increase the mysteriousness of the Shangshui Ying Clan. As for whether they were true or not, no one knew.
However, there was no doubt that the Ying Clan of Shang Shui was truly very powerful. For the past thousands of years, there had been almost no one who could match up to them as the leader of the Nine Great Clans.
The current successor of the Ying Clan of Shang Shui, Ying Bailu, was also an outstanding person. It was said that when Ying Bailu was born, a white deer came to the Ying Clan with the Seven Colored Ganoderma in its mouth. With the Seven Colored Ganoderma, Ying Bailu built his foundation, and that was how Ying Bailu got his name.
The white deer was an auspicious sign. An existence like this who was born with auspicious signs would definitely not be an ordinary person.
Whether this was true or not, probably no one other than the Ying Clan of Shang Shui knew. However, it was undeniable that Ying Bailu was indeed a genius.
At the age of two, he was already familiar with ancient books of poetry. At the age of five, he was able to recite the Ying Clan's secret 'Royal Heavenly Treasure Records' backwards. At the age of 12, he stepped into the Innate Realm. Things like bottlenecks were practically nonexistent to Ying Bailu.
What was even more amazing was that Ying Bailu was not only accomplished in martial arts. He was also proficient in other areas such as poetry, astrology, military strategy, and so on.
Therefore, Ying Bailu's nickname was' Young Master Unparalleled '. In terms of comprehensive abilities, Ying Bailu could be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Right now, Ying Bailu was ranked fifth on the Longhu Leaderboard, just above Chu Xiu. However, most people felt that Ying Bailu's ranking was a little low. It was because he had fought too few times. Otherwise, Ying Bailu would definitely be ranked in the top three.
Also, Ying Bailu wasted most of his time on researching all sorts of things, delaying his martial arts cultivation. Otherwise, Ying Bailu might have become a martial arts grandmaster by now.
Of course, it was mostly women who thought this way. In the pugilistic world, Ying Bailu was still very popular. At the very least, he was very popular among women.
In his previous life, Luo Fei-hung was forced to marry Xiahou Wujiang. In the eyes of the Luo Clan, Luo Fei-hung was probably only worthy of marrying Xiahou Wujiang at that time.
In this life, although the Luo Clan's status did not change, Luo Fei-hung's status had changed a little.
Back at the World Sword Sect Conference, Luo Fei-hung teamed up with Xie Xiaolou and Mo Tianlin to fight against Xiahou Wujiang. Luo Fei-hung could be said to have shone brilliantly. Therefore, he successfully entered the top ten of the Longhu Leaderboard, and his value also rose.
At that time, Luo Fei-hung could only be worthy of the Xiahou Clan. But now, in the eyes of the Luo Clan, Luo Fei-hung's achievements were almost worthy of the Shangshui Ying Clan. Moreover, Xiahou Wujiang was also dead, so the Luo Clan clung to the Shangshui Ying Clan.
This move made Chu Xiu sneer in his heart. From the top to the bottom of the Luo Clan, except for Luo Fei-hung, if everyone in the Luo Clan thought this way, then the Luo Clan would not be far from complete decline and destruction.
If any aristocratic clan reached the point where they had to use their own children to ensure their status through marriage, then they would really be at the end of their rope.
Among aristocratic clans, marriage could only play the role of icing on the cake. Both parties used the relationship of marriage to cooperate with each other. Moreover, the bloodline of the martial artists from aristocratic clans would not be too bad. Therefore, marriage with an aristocratic clan of the same strength could also ensure their bloodline to be strong.
But if someone regarded marriage as a necessary life-saving means, then it would really be a joke.
It was simply wishful thinking to rely on marriage to solve the problem because one's own family was not living up to expectations.
There were so many sects and aristocratic clans in the Jianghu, but none of them relied on marriage to maintain their status.
Seeing that Chu Xiu did not speak for a long time, Guan Siyu said, "What's wrong? Are you really interested in Luo Fei-hung?
If you are really interested, then you can personally participate in the joust for a spouse. You will still have a chance if you participate.
The Wu County's Luo Clan and the Shangshui Ying Clan should have preliminary contact, but they have not formally discussed it yet. There should be a problem somewhere.
Otherwise, the Wu County's Luo Clan would not have invited us to watch the joust for a spouse, but the engagement banquet of the two aristocratic clans. "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I and Luo Fei-hung are just friends. I don't think that much for the time being. Moreover, even if I really go on stage, the Wu County's Luo Clan will probably go back on their word."
Guan Siyu raised her eyebrows and nodded. "That's true."
Guan Siyu understood what Chu Xiu meant. Since the Wu County's Luo Clan wanted to rely on marriage to ensure the Luo Clan's status, then they had to choose their marriage partner well.
Although Chu Xiu was not weak, his reputation in the Jianghu was not very good.
Most importantly, Chu Xiu came from the Guanzhong Torture Room.
In theory, the Guanzhong Torture Room was much stronger than the Wu County's Luo Clan, at least several times stronger.
However, the Guanzhong Torture Room was far away in the Guanzhong Pass, which was located in the middle of the three countries. It was not very strong outside. Therefore, if something happened to the Wu County's Luo Clan, the Guanzhong Torture Room would definitely not be able to help the Luo Clan.
However, aristocratic clans like the Xiahou Clan and the Ying Clan were already strong. Moreover, they were both in the Eastern Qi. The benefits of a marriage alliance with them were obvious.
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will take my leave. I will go to the Wu County's Luo Clan tomorrow."
Guan Siyu nodded and said, "Don't worry. This time, it's just a ceremony. It's not a big deal."
Chu Xiu nodded. However, he still chose to leave for the Wu County's Luo Clan the next day.
With Luo Fei-hung's personality, it was obvious how she would face this joust for a spouse. If she did not cause a scene, Luo Fei-hung would definitely not let it go.
On the surface, Chu Xiu was Luo Fei-hung's good friend. He was also a member of the Nine Branch Hall. Xie Xiaolou, Mo Tianlin, and the others would probably come. Therefore, Chu Xiu could not ignore it. The sooner he went, the sooner he could discuss it.
Therefore, after leaving the Torture Hall's headquarters, Chu Xiu did not even return to the Guanxi region. He directly sent a constable to the Guanxi region to report the news, and he went to the Wu County's Luo Clan alone.
This time, he came to attend the ceremony. Since that was the case, it was useless to bring his subordinates. The Wu County's Luo Clan would not allow so many people to enter the clan.
The Wu County was located in the southeast of the Eastern Qi. This place was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful. It was famous for being fertile and could be considered as the center of the Central Plains.
The Wu County's Luo Clan was the largest force in the entire Wu County. Moreover, their reputation as one of the Nine Great Aristocratic Clans had spread throughout the Jianghu. This time, the Wu County's Luo Clan's joust for a spouse attracted many people to watch the show.
Of course, they were only here to watch the show. Probably not many people would dare to enter the arena.
It must be known that Luo Fei-hung used to be in the top ten of the Longhu List. It was only recently that he was suddenly pushed out of the top ten by 'Marquis Wen' Lu Fengxian, who suddenly appeared on the list.
Therefore, a martial artist who was worthy of Luo Fei-hung must be qualified to be on the Longhu List. What would the others do? Would they just embarrass themselves?
The Luo Clan's Luo Clan Manor was located beside the Nanluo River, which passed by the Wu County. The scenery was beautiful, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth was rich.
Looking at the Luo Clan's manor and the martial artists coming and going, Chu Xiu could not help but shake his head.
The Luo Clan looked as glorious as ever, but in reality, he could feel the Luo Clan's declining spirit from the Luo Clan's martial artists coming and going.
