Making slanderous accusations
"A year's agreement?" Many people began to discuss amongst themselves. They all knew how terrifying Shui Qianyue's talent was. Who was this Chu Xingyun to be so daring to make such an agreement with Shui Qianyue? Foolish.
The youths from West Wind City were naturally not unfamiliar with this matter. Their gazes searched for Chu Xingyun's position, then they all moved aside and looked over with a mocking gaze.
In a split second, the originally noisy square became much quieter.
Everyone's gaze fell on Chu Xingyun. Some were surprised, some were curious, and some were even mocking him. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions.
"To dare to make a year's agreement with Shui Qianyue, this Chu Xingyun really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Hearing Shui Qianyue's words, Yang Yan immediately thought of their meeting last night. His eyes narrowed into slits.
"Chu Xingyun's nature is frivolous, but his talent is still worthy of recognition." Qin Yuyan knew that Yang Yan was still angry and immediately said this. But seeing that the other party's expression remained the same, her heart suddenly hung in the air. She hoped that Chu Xingyun would perform better later, otherwise, Yang Yan would definitely not accept him.
On the martial arts arena, Shui Qianyue looked down at Chu Xingyun. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule as she laughed: "Until today, you still haven't stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm. Chu Xingyun, you really disappoint me!"
Chu Xingyun stared at Shui Qianyue, but did not say anything. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
Seeing that Chu Xingyun did not say anything, Shui Qianyue became even more arrogant. She said loudly: "Chu Xingyun, in this year, you've played tricks and roped in many families, causing my Shui Family to suffer heavy losses. You really underestimate me, today, on this martial arts arena, I'll let you know how weak you are."
"You really think highly of yourself." Chu Xingyun shook his head somewhat helplessly.
In this year, everything he did was to revitalize the Chu Family, to let the Chu Family prosper. This Shui Qianyue thought that everything he did was for her, for that one year agreement.
Chu Xingyun simply did not wish to pay too much attention to people like him. No matter what he said, it would all be useless.
"Aren't you the one who thinks too highly of yourself?"
Shui Qianyue couldn't stand Chu Xingyun's attitude. She felt that she was being ignored, and she sneered, "Back then, you used the marriage agreement between the two clans as a bargaining chip. After that, you purposely said that you didn't want to marry me, but wanted to marry that b * tch Liu Shui Xiang instead. In the end, you even made a promise of a year to embarrass me."
"Aren't you overestimating yourself by doing all these ridiculous actions? Aren't you just trying to prove yourself? Right now, you're only at the ninth layer of the Body Tempering Realm. You haven't even reached the Spirit Assembly Realm. You're no match for me. There's no difference whether you go up or not. You'll still lose in the end!"
Speaking up to here, Shui Qianyue felt a sense of satisfaction. She vented all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time.
Hearing Shui Qianyue's mocking words, the crowd looked at Chu Xingyun with disdain. It turned out that so many things had happened between Shui Qianyue and this person. All kinds of mocking words could be heard.
"Silence!" At this moment, Gu Qingsong said, and the crowd immediately quieted down.
He looked at Chu Xingyun, and his triangular eyes flashed with a cold light. It seemed that there was a sense of gloominess in them. He shouted: "Chu Xingyun, if you want to participate in the Martial House Selection, quickly go up the stage. If you don't dare to participate, then get out of here immediately. Don't disturb the order here!"
Chu Xingyun's expression immediately became cold. He could feel a trace of hidden coldness in Gu Qingsong's eyes. It was obvious that the Yunmeng Martial House and Shui Qianyue had already colluded and were in cahoots.
"From a moment ago until now, I've only said one sentence. How is that disturbing the order? Gu Qingsong, you're the host of this year's Martial House Selection. You should be fair and open. For the sake of Shui Qianyue, you want me to bear the blame for no reason. Next time, if Shui Qianyue doesn't like someone, are you going to kick that person out?"
"Shut up!" Gu Qingsong angrily shouted: "You actually dare to slander me!"
"Who's the one slandering me? Everyone here has seen it clearly. I, Chu Xingyun, want nothing more than fairness." Chu Xingyun straightened his back and fearlessly met Gu Qingsong's gaze.
"This Chu Xingyun actually dares to contradict Gu Qingsong. Interesting."
"His integrity is not bad. Unfortunately, his cultivation is a bit lacking. This time, Gu Qingsong is the host of the Martial House Selection. According to his temperament, he might give this guy some trouble."
"Even if Gu Qingsong doesn't make a move, Shui Qianyue won't let him off easily."
Several representatives of the Martial House were discussing in low voices. Obviously, they were impressed by Chu Xingyun's words and actions. But that was it.
The Martial House Selection was to select true geniuses. Arrogant people were nothing more than boorish people. No one would be willing to accept them.
"Teacher, Gu Qingsong's temperament is very cunning. You have to supervise him properly. Don't let him do anything in secret." Qin Yuyan said to Yang Yan. She had already expected this to happen.
"True geniuses can easily solve any kind of conspiracy. If this Chu Xingyun can't even overcome this little tribulation, why would the Lingxiao Martial House recruit him?" Yang Yan grinned. He was secretly happy to see Chu Xingyun being targeted.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, Yang Yan had heard about Chu Xingyun's deeds from Qin Yuyan. He had already had the idea of accepting him as his disciple.
However, after interacting with Chu Xingyun for a while, he felt that Chu Xingyun was too arrogant and needed to be taught a lesson. Now that Chu Xingyun was being targeted by so many people, a little more suffering would actually make his temperament softer.
At that time, when Yang Yan made a move, Chu Xingyun would certainly be respectful. This was the way to manage people.
"Elder Gu, it's almost time. Let's get ready." Qin Yuyan was afraid that Chu Xingyun and Gu Qingsong would have a falling out. She immediately said these words, drawing everyone's attention.
Gu Qingsong also retracted his gaze and coldly said to Chu Xingyun, "You'd better be careful in the following assessment. If I find that you don't meet the qualifications, I can kick you out at any time."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and directly returned to his seat. He loudly said, "Begin the assessment!"
His voice spread out, and soon, a huge black stone tablet appeared in the arena. Around the stone tablet, from left to right, there were nine dim halos floating.
"The first round of the trial will test your affinity with Martial Spirits. From low to high, there are nine grades in total. Only those who have achieved the fourth grade or above are qualified to proceed to the next round of the trial. Now, let's start one by one!"
