Chapter 317
As Princess Lanchu's speech during the Heavenly Worship Ceremony spread, the entire Nine Provinces was in an uproar because of the Martial Arts Tournament!
60th of September, the Empire's Martial Arts Tournament for a Spouse!
Since the ninth day of the ninth month, countless young male cultivators from all over the Central Plains set off on their journey to the imperial capital, Luoyang.
Princess Lanchu's beauty was unparalleled, and she was the most favored princess of the royal family. Even if her opponent was a prodigy of the generation, it still excited countless men.
Who didn't want to make a name for themselves?
Who didn't want to become the Emperor's son-in-law?
With such thoughts in mind, the Martial Arts Tournament attracted many young talents to sign up.
Due to the long journey from all over the Nine Provinces, the imperial court specially relaxed the deadline. The registration deadline was two days before the Martial Arts Tournament, and the specific competition method was announced the day before the Martial Arts Tournament.
With such ample preparation time, it naturally attracted more competitors. It also attracted more busybodies to gather in the Imperial Capital, Luoyang.
Every day, a large number of young cultivators would sign up for the Empire's Martial Arts Tournament.
Every day, carriages and spaceships from various forces would arrive in Luoyang to watch the Martial Arts Tournament.
Every day, the names of some geniuses would be mentioned in various restaurants and teahouses in Luoyang. It was said that they had also participated in the Martial Arts Tournament.
The lively atmosphere was even better than the Heavenly Worship Ceremony. Topics about the Martial Arts Tournament for a Spouse were constantly being discussed everywhere in the Nine Provinces. The entire world was focused on Luoyang!
67th of September, True Martial Academy.
Many flying ships were taking off from the academy, preparing to head to Luoyang.
The Martial Arts Tournament for a Spouse was already known to the world. The two academies had the most young geniuses, so when they heard the news, the reaction was the most intense.
Many male students signed up for the Martial Arts Tournament. Considering that the Martial Arts Tournament would definitely be a high-level battle that was beneficial to the students' learning, the higher-ups of True Martial Academy arranged for a large number of spaceships to be led by some teachers to the Imperial Capital to watch the battle.
Mu Ziyu was one of the teachers leading the team. At this moment, she came to Ye Qingshuang's residence, planning to persuade her to go to the Imperial Capital together.
After the Martial Arts Tournament, Ye Qingshuang had performed very well and was accepted as Vice Principal Qi's last disciple.
As such, she became Mu Ziyu's junior sister. Naturally, Mu Ziyu was more concerned about her.
"Qing Shuang, ever since the gathering ended, you have been training hard day and night. You should give yourself a break from time to time."
"Princess Lanchu is also Master's disciple in this joust for a spouse, so she can be considered as your Senior Sister. Master asked me to bring you along, saying that after the joust for a spouse ends, you can attend Junior Sister Lanchu's wedding and send your blessings."
Mu Ziyu stood in front of Ye Qingshuang's door and explained the purpose of her visit.
"Senior Sister Mu, I don't think females are allowed to participate in the Groom Search Competition, right?"
After a while, Ye Qingshuang's voice came from the room.
"Of course not. Your Senior Sister Lanchu can't possibly marry a woman, right?"
Mu Ziyu burst into laughter.
"Since I can't sign up to participate, then I have no interest in this martial arts competition. Senior Martial Sister Mu, please bless Senior Martial Sister Lanchu for me. "
Ye Qingshuang's refusal to go to the capital made Mu Ziyu feel helpless.
These days, this junior sister had been training too hard. As the saying goes, too much is as bad as not enough. Master was also worried that something would happen to her, so he urged her to bring her along.
If she didn't bring her along, she really couldn't be at ease.
"Qing Shuang, although you can't participate in this competition, it is said that there are many experts there. It will be beneficial for you to go and watch the battles. Let's not talk about others. You know Demon King Sun Jinming, right? He has already signed up for the competition. "
"That Monkey King is interested in Princess Lanchu?"
Ye Qingshuang was immediately attracted.
"Of course not. The Demon King is a martial arts fanatic. When he heard that there will be a large number of experts appearing in the martial arts competition, and the final winner will be able to fight with Huangfu Qingming, he went to Luoyang without saying anything."
"Huangfu Qingming …"
In the room, Ye Qingshuang murmured and didn't reply for a while.
Seeing that Ye Qingshuang still didn't relent, Mu Ziyu's heart moved and she gritted her teeth.
"Qing Shuang, that Chen Gu is also very likely to participate in the competition!"
As soon as this was said, Ye Qingshuang's pupils shrank.
"Now that we are all senior and junior sisters, there is no harm in me telling you. Back then, when Chen Gu came to True Martial Academy, it was because of Junior Sister Lanchu's recommendation letter. Their relationship is not ordinary."
Mu Ziyu said. Previously, when Chen Gu was still in the academy, his relationship with Qing Shuang was a little special. She believed that if she mentioned him, Qing Shuang would want to go.
Creak —
Ye Qingshuang's door suddenly opened. Her reaction was so fast that it far exceeded Mu Ziyu's expectations!
"Senior Sister Mu, you said that Chen Gu will participate in the martial arts competition. Is this true?"
Her face was unprecedentedly serious.
"It should be, right? Didn't you pay attention to the Heavenly Worship Ceremony? That Chen Gu also entered the Ten-Thousand Dragons Secret Land and came out with Junior Sister Lanchu. "
"This martial arts competition came out of nowhere. I even suspect that Chen Gu came up with an idea for Junior Sister Lanchu. He wants to have a martial arts competition to snatch the bride," Mu Ziyu said.
Said Mu Ziyu. She had a deep friendship with Junior Sister Lan Chu, so she could tell at a glance that something was amiss at the Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony.
She was looking forward to it. If things were really as she thought, how romantic it would be.
Stand out from thousands of competitors, defeat a proud son of heaven, and marry a princess. This was a magnificent feat that could make a young girl's heart burst!
In order to verify her conjecture, she took the initiative to lead the team to Luoyang to see if that Chen Gu could really defy the heavens and reverse the marriage of the royal family.
Seeing that Mu Ziyu's tone was firm, Ye Qingshuang took a deep breath.
"I understand, Senior Sister Mu. I will pack up and follow you to Luoyang."
She agreed so straightforwardly that Mu Ziyu sighed in her heart.
It seems that Junior Sister Ye really cares about that Chen Gu. That Chen Gu is really lucky. Both of my beautiful junior sisters have taken a fancy to him.
Mu Ziyu thought in her heart, but she nodded on the surface. "Alright then. The flying ship will depart in an hour."
She left very quickly. Ye Qingshuang raised her head and looked in the direction of the imperial capital Luoyang with an indescribably solemn expression.
"Martial arts competition for a spouse, against Huangfu Qingming … What exactly do you want to do? Could it be that you want to lay your cards on the table with the Huangfu Clan?"
September 68th, at the imperial dueling arena's registration office.
There was only an hour left until the registration deadline.
A handsome young man dressed in a black martial artist's attire arrived at this place.
His black hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He was tall and slender, and his temperament was profound. Once he arrived, the eyes of many young girls nearby lit up, and their hearts palpitated.
"I'm here to register for the martial arts competition," he said coldly.
He said coldly. The staff at the registration office nodded and took out a name list for him to register.
The young man crossed his name on the name list and turned to leave.
This person's appearance was too outstanding, and his temperament was also extraordinary. Under the curiosity of the staff, he could not help but look at his name.
"Gu Chen … I've never heard of this name before."
He said disapprovingly, but he did not know that this name was about to ignite the entire martial arts competition.
