Congratulations, Miss
"Brother-in-law, how are you? Are you alright?"
In Ten Thousand Mile City, at the entrance of a small courtyard, a woman standing in front of the door kept looking around. When she saw the dusty old man, she quickly went to greet him.
"It's Little Cai, it's nothing, it's nothing."
Chen Huo patted the dust off his clothes and gave a kind smile.
"I chased that old black bear away. It shouldn't be able to make a move again anytime soon. How about that? Isn't your brother-in-law awesome!"
"Brother-in-law, stop talking. Look at yourself! Why are you clutching your back? Where did you hurt your kidney?"
"Wait, don't touch it... Ouch~~~ It hurts..."
Chen Huo grimaced and shuddered when his sister-in-law gently poked his lower back.
"It's nothing, just a sprained back from being old. It'll be fine in a couple of days."
"..."
Faced with her brother-in-law's stubbornness, Chen Cai's sister-in-law couldn't say anything and could only help him sit down in the yard.
"Brother-in-law, you don't need to worry about the Chen Family family." In the courtyard, Chen Cai, the younger sister, said while applying medicine to her brother-in-law. "When you and my sister left, you did it on your own merits. You didn't owe the Chen Family anything."
"Sigh... you don't understand..."
Chen Huo waved his hand.
"Don't be fooled by how happy your sister is with our family of three at the Sun Moon Sect. Deep down, she still feels a little guilty towards Old Master. There's nothing you can do about it; after all, she's a woman of deep affection, and besides, Old Master raised her for so many years."
"I think my father is just stubborn and inflexible!"
The angry sister-in-law pouted, and accidentally used too much force, causing Chen Huo to gasp.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I used too much force."
"It's alright, it's alright..." After applying the medicine, Chen Huo put down the clothes. "But Little Cai, you're not getting any younger. You need to tone down this temper and lower your standards a bit. Otherwise, even though you're beautiful, no one will dare to marry you."
"Isn't my sister the same? You still married her..." Chen Cai muttered softly, turning her head to the side, after hearing her brother-in-law's words.
"Little Cai, what did you say?"
"N-nothing..." Chen Cai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, brother-in-law, I heard that Little Jia has fallen for a boy, is that true?"
"Little Jia? Fall in love with a boy? Who said that!" Chen Huo was instantly enraged. "How dare they spread rumors about my precious daughter! Who is it! I'll break their legs!"
Chen Cai rolled her eyes at Chen Huo: "My sister told me in a letter from home."
Chen Huo immediately deflated. "Oh, then it's alright..."
"..."
"Brother-in-law, what kind of person is that young man named Jiang Lin?"
"Him..." Just thinking about that cheeky guy gave Chen Huo a headache. "He's pretty handsome, but not as good-looking as me. He's also quite tall, but not as tall as me. His Martial Warrior arts talent is alright, but not as good as mine."
"..."
Scratching his head, Chen Huo felt he might have said something like, "Anyway, he's alright. Your sister seems to like him, and you probably like him too."
"I would never like him."
Chen Cai said decisively, then secretly glanced at her brother-in-law with a slightly flushed face.
"Little Cai, are you not feeling well? Your face looks so red." Chen Huo asked, looking at his sister-in-law.
"Ah... no, no." Chen Cai snapped out of her daze, averting her gaze from her brother-in-law's face, and quickly waved her hand. "By the way, brother-in-law, I heard that quite a few people in the family want to marry Little Jia..."
"Marry Little Jia?" Chen Huo chuckled, clutching his kidneys. "Heh, they can try that! I'll beat the crap out of them!"
Chen Cai didn't say anything more, just kept her head down.
Looking at his sister-in-law, Chen Huo sighed softly, knowing what she was thinking.
If others want to marry Little Jia, naturally I and my child's mother can stand in their way. But if Jiang Lin wants to marry Little Jia, won't others object?
If a man from another ethnic group wants to marry a woman from the Chen ethnic group, he must go through the "Three Questions Fist" process.
Even if the child's mother insists on Jiajia Xiaojia to him and doesn't want the Three Questions Fist, Little Jia certainly wouldn't want his Three Questions Fist either.
But if that's the case, Little Jia will never be able to return to the Ten Thousand Mile Great Wall.
For some reason, Chen Huo didn't want Jiang Lin to get injured or even lose his life after experiencing those Three Questions Fist, but he also wanted him to stand tall and proud on the Ten Thousand Mile Great Wall, declaring to the Chen clan with his boundless fist intent, "She is my woman," making his daughter the most enviable girl in Ten Thousand Mile City...
After thinking it over, Chen Huo gave up, sighed, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.
Brother-in-law, where are you going?
"Your brother-in-law has a bad temper, go calm down."
"Brother-in-law! There are no brothels in Ten Thousand Mile City..."
Watching her brother-in-law's departing figure, the sister-in-law stomped her foot resentfully, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Brother-in-law, honestly, couldn't you spend more time with me...? My sister isn't here right now..."
In Empty Spirit City, the first round of the Sect Martial Arts Competition has ended. Under the leadership of Lin Qingwan, the Dragon Gate Sect has entered the second round, while the Sun Moon Sect's female team has also advanced as a dark horse.
Moreover, because the Sun Moon Sect's second team had beauties like Chen Jia, and Aunt Fox and Elder Sister She were also quite good-looking, they received many interviews.
In an interview, Aunt Fox publicly sought a husband, requiring that "the other party must have Dao Companion!"
There is a week of rest before the second round of competition.
Because Chen Jia and Lin Qingwan both made progress in the first round of the competition, they went into seclusion together.
To be honest, I didn't expect my senior sister and Little Jia to have such a good relationship, even going into seclusion together. I feel like I've been left behind...
In fact, after the first round of competition, 70-80% of the cultivators gained something to some extent and basically all went into seclusion.
In fact, historically, some cultivators have even chosen to remain in seclusion and forgo the second round of training.
However, Jiang Lin was puzzled as to why he hadn't gained any insights.
Looking at the Jiji Bo around me, they just ate, drank, slept, and did some bad things to earn some credits; they didn't seem to be in seclusion at all...
Was it because I chose a really weak opponent?
Jiang Lin felt that this was the only explanation.
But what puzzled Jiang Lin even more was that long, silvery-white hair.
Jiang Lin felt that this long, silvery-white hair stirred up long-dormant memories, but they were very blurry, and thinking about them for too long gave him a headache...
In the end, Jiang Lin gave up thinking about it and decided to ask Tai Er Zhenjun about the situation later, since this was his area of expertise.
So, during this week, the five idle individuals frequented various casinos in the Empty Spirit City.
Since the next round is a ring match, there are many things to bet on, especially the odds for "one person defending the title (fighting from start to finish)," which are already incredibly high even before the match has started.
Even Jiang Lin and the others, after seeing the odds, exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
And so, carrying their most beautiful dreams, Jiang Lin and the others welcomed the day of the second round of the Sect Martial Arts Competition.
Meanwhile, in the back mountain of the Empty Spirit Sect, a female healer, after examining a girl in the courtyard, stood up with a smile:
"Congratulations, Miss, you can leave the back mountain now."
