The moment this thought arose, all manner of ideas surged through Ye Xiwen's mind like floodwaters bursting through a broken dam, impossible to contain. He had not been particularly interested in this groom-selection affair before, but now, if that Sky Phoenix Maiden was Hua Menghan, then he had to join the struggle, whether he wished to or not.
The matter still lay beyond the expectations of the gathered heroes. If the Nirvana Pool had caught the people of the Ancient Barrens by surprise, then this groom-selection affair had utterly exceeded everyone's expectations. There had not been the slightest word of it beforehand.
"Ao Shiba, Ao Shiba, Ao Shiba!" Hai Wuya stared viciously at the spot in the void where Ao Shiba had vanished. What had happened today was undoubtedly a humiliation to him, a humiliation unlike any he had ever suffered in his life. No one had ever dared treat him as a coachman.
Thinking about it now, if he had truly been seized and made into a coachman, even for a single second, he would never be able to hold his head high again for the rest of his life. Even now, he felt as though everyone was laughing at him.
He was furious beyond measure!
At this moment, Ye Xiwen also withdrew his gaze, though inwardly, he began to ponder.
From beginning to end, this whole matter gave off an air of strangeness.
First was the opening of the Nirvana Pool. That alone was bizarre, because as far as he knew, the Nirvana Pool had never been opened to outsiders. It was as unbelievable as Dragon Island opening its Dragon Transformation Pool to the public. Though they claimed it was to add joy upon joy and bring good fortune to the Imperial Son's wedding, it was fundamentally unreasonable.
