Because of the coincidental silence, Lu An's words were heard by the people at the next table.
As long as they were not stupid, they would be able to hear the clues in Lu An's words. Lu An's focus was different from others. It was not 'can't beat that woman', but 'he doesn't want to do that kind of thing'.
In other words, in Lu An's subconscious, he does not think that he can't beat that woman. And this point, directly attracted the attention of the people at the next table.
Those few big men turned their head to look, wanting to see who was so arrogant to say such words. When they found out that it was just a teenager, they were stunned for a moment before revealing a sarcastic smile.
"At such a young age, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue by talking big?" One of them looked at Lu An and said without hesitation, "Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you're not even a Heaven's Realm expert, and you still want to fight with Zhang Rui?"
"Who says so?" Another person sneered, "That's why people say that people should have some self-awareness. Otherwise, wherever you go, you'll be laughed at."
"…"
Listening to the sarcastic remarks from the next table, Lu An has been quietly eating, turning a deaf ear to them. Even Yao, who was sitting opposite him, could not stand it anymore. But Lu An kept telling her to listen to him, so she did not say anything for a long time.
After a while, these people changed the topic from Lu An. Lu An and Yao finished their meal and left the tavern. At this time, Yao finally could not help but ask, "Why didn't you teach them a lesson just now?"
"Afraid of trouble." Lu An looked at Yao and softly said, "Who knows if there's any force behind them. We're just passing by, I don't want to cause more trouble."
"But they said that about you …." Yao could not bear it and said.
"I'm used to it." Lu An smiled and said, "Their scolding is neither painful nor itchy. Let them be."
With that, Lu An brought Yao to stroll around this Hu Tiecheng. Soon, the two of them found a tailor shop and bought a few spring clothes. Lu An also bought a few new sets of clothes. Because he had grown a lot taller, he couldn't fit into last year's clothes this year.
The current Lu An was no different from an ordinary adult in height. He didn't look immature at all. On the contrary, his expression always made people feel that he was calm and steady. If it wasn't for his youthful face, others might have already treated him as an adult.
Lu An also bought some clothes for Yao, and this time, the clothes he bought for Yao were better than the ones he bought before. After all, it was spring, and all girls wanted to dress up. Yao Yao was a girl as well, so she naturally wanted to make herself a little prettier as well.
When passing by beautiful clothes, although Yao didn't say anything, her eyes would linger on them for a few breaths. Lu An was naturally not someone who was reluctant to part with money, so he bought all of them for Yao Yao. He really did have a lot of money on him right now.
However, he realized that the clothes that Yao liked all had a unique characteristic, and that was light and pure colors. The clothes she chose from afar were things that no one else could wear, and only she could afford to wear.
This was temperament.
Finally, after walking around for two hours, the two of them finished buying the things they needed. It was already afternoon, and Lu An And Yao was walking on the streets. He had been thinking about whether he should stay in Hu Tiecheng for a night, or continue on his journey.
He had just asked the boss, and if they were to continue on their journey, there wouldn't be any villages in front of them. That meant that he and Yao Yao would have to sleep in the wilderness. After such a long journey, the two of them hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. Although Lu An didn't mind, Yao Yao might not be able to bear it.
Thinking of this, Lu An took a deep breath, turned to look at Yao Yao, and said. "Let's stay in Hu Tiecheng for a night, and continue on our journey tomorrow."
Hearing Lu An's words, Yao Yao was first startled, and then, she happily smiled. She hurriedly nodded, and that fairy-like appearance was extremely cute.
Very quickly, the two of them found a pretty good inn to stay in. As usual, the two of them stayed in the same room. After settling everything down, Yao Yao who was sitting on the bed suddenly thought of something.
"I want to watch that martial competition for marriage, is that okay?" Yao Yao asked in a soft voice.
Martial competition for marriage?
Lu An was startled, and turned to look at Yao Yao.
What entered his eyes was Yao Yao's somewhat pleading gaze.
That's right, Yao Yao really wanted to watch. She was a citizen of Sengoku, and this was the first time she had left Sengoku since she was young. And before this, she and that man had been hurrying on their journey in the carriage, and didn't play or see anything along the way. It wasn't that she had never heard of a martial competition for marriage, but she had never seen it before.
Looking at Yao Yao's gaze, Lu An, who originally wanted to refuse, felt his heart soften. In his opinion, the chances of trouble appearing in such a crowded place would be much higher. But since Yao Yao wanted to watch, there shouldn't be any problems if they went to watch.
Furthermore, he had never seen it before.
Lu An pondered for a moment, and finally, after three breaths, he lightly nodded his head.
Seeing Lu An's expression of agreement, Yao Yao suddenly smiled happily, and quickly got up from the bed, and said to Lu An, "Then let's go!"
"En." Lu An also stood up from the chair, and the two quickly left the inn.

Facts proved that the Zhang family's martial competition for marriage had indeed spread like wildfire in Hu Tiecheng.
The Zhang family was a big family in Hu Tiecheng. As the gathering place of the Hunter's Alliance, mercenaries, and escort agencies, Hu Tiecheng's people were fond of martial arts. Even the commoners here would insist on exercising and practicing martial arts, not to mention the people who made a living by fighting.
In Hu Tiecheng, everyone was proud of being able to fight. Here, the strong received much higher respect than in other cities.
The Zhang family, being able to become a big family in Hu Tiecheng, naturally had something to do with these things. The Zhang family was one of the famous Hunter's Alliance and escort agencies in Hu Tiecheng, and there were many people who sought refuge with them. Every year, the Zhang family sold countless strange beasts and crystal cores, and the number of escorts they sent was also several times more than others. Therefore, the Zhang family's martial competition for marriage could not help but move the people in the city.
Lu An had also noticed this point long ago. Along the way, he did not even need to ask for directions, and he could see many people on the street rushing in one direction, and they were discussing loudly.
"The martial competition for marriage has begun, what are you waiting for?"
"Run faster, if you don't hurry, I'm afraid it will be over by the time we get there!"
"…"
Lu An And Yao walked on the street, and after seeing these people running, he also quickened his pace. Finally, after walking two streets, just as he turned into another street with the crowd, he suddenly stopped.
Because, at this moment, this street was already filled with people!
Lu An looked at this scene in astonishment, the entire street was completely blocked. The entire street was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Not to mention horses, even if a person wanted to squeeze through, it was simply impossible.
Standing at the periphery, Lu An saw that in the middle of the crowd, there was a medium-sized arena, and there were indeed people fighting on it. Lu An And Yao found a decent place to watch, and Yao seemed to be in high spirits.
"What are their strengths?" Yao asked Lu An.
"Mid-stage Level 1." Lu An looked for a while and confirmed.
That's right, the man and woman on the arena were both Mid-stage Level 1. This point made Lu An feel a little suspicious.
The woman fighting on the arena was probably at least twenty-four years old, but she only had the strength of a Mid-stage Level 1. If that was the case, why did the commoners say that defeating her was harder than ascending to the heavens?
This Hu Tiecheng fought for a living, and respected the strong. The woman who attracted the attention of the entire city, could it be that she only had this much strength?
Lu An could not figure it out, but he did not think too much about it, and accompanied Yao Yao to watch the arena seriously. He realized that there were many things to pay attention to in this arena battle. The strength and Heaven Arts of the two were all controlled within the arena. Of course, if it leaked out, the commoners would most likely suffer a calamity.
However, such a narrow space was extremely disadvantageous for Heaven Masters with certain attributes, but for offensive Heaven Masters, it made them extremely happy.
Could it be that this Zhang Rui was looking for an offensive man?
Lu An was taken aback by his own thoughts and shook his head as well. Why should he guess other people's thoughts, he could just concentrate on being a spectator.
The battle on the arena was very intense, and finally, after a stick of incense's time, the woman's palm landed on the man's chest. The man was sent flying out of the arena.
"Hua — —"
The crowd was in an uproar, another person had been defeated, and this was already the sixth person today.
The woman on the arena was obviously tired, gasping for breath, but in the end, she stood up straight and shouted to the crowd in front of her, "Who else wants to challenge the arena, feel free to come!"
