The Martial Contest for a Bride Begins

call...

After watching her mother leave, Feng Qiongyu subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest.

Then she turned to look at Ye Beixuan and said, "Senior brother, you're really amazing."

Ye Beixuan affectionately patted her head. "As long as you're happy."

"Um."

After Feng Qiongyu said something, the two returned to the backyard together to meet up with Chu Feng and the others.

Ye Beixuan recounted the events of the day to Chu Feng.

After listening, Chu Feng laughed and said, "The Feng Lineage is really interesting. Little Chen and Daqian, you two can also have a go at the event."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I'd like to see what kind of beings I can fight now."

Cao Youqian shrugged. "I originally just wanted to watch the show, but I didn't expect to get to stretch my muscles like this, which is not a bad thing."

Ye Beixuan cupped his hands in thanks to the two senior brothers and said, "Thank you both."

Chen Qianqian weakly raised her hand and asked, "Master, can Qianqian and I go out to play?"

Chu Feng patted the little girl's head and said, "Okay."

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing that they could go out to play, Chen Qianqian and Bai Qian, the two little girls, happily hugged each other.

Everyone was already used to this; it was normal for these two little girls to be playful and childish.

As the day of the martial arts contest to choose a husband drew near, various forces flocked to Fire Phoenix Valley, making the Fire Phoenix Valley increasingly lively.

Where there are people, there is conflict.

Furthermore, since everyone had come specifically for the eldest daughter of the Feng Lineage, they naturally disliked each other, and conflicts frequently broke out in Fire Phoenix Valley.

However, the Feng Lineage did not intervene to stop these conflicts; they only stepped in as peacemakers when the fighting was almost over.

At the same time, the Feng Lineage also announced that fellow disciples could help each other in this martial arts contest to find a husband.

This news naturally brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Those young people without the support of a major power were privately cursing Fire Phoenix Valley for looking down on them, the chosen ones of small forces.

Some even proclaimed, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential."

Disciples from powerful factions said this rule was good; only when two people are of equal social standing can they be happy together.

The outside conflicts had little to do with the Feng Lineage and Chu Feng and his group.

Chu Feng would occasionally take the two little girls for a stroll in the streets to experience the local customs and culture of Fire Phoenix Valley.

Time flew by, and soon the day for the martial arts contest to choose a husband arrived.

Early that morning.

Chu Feng got up early, stretched his muscles and bones, and then got into his carriage to head to the location of the martial arts contest for marriage.

Three days ago, Feng Qiongyu returned to the Feng Lineage's old residence with her mother, and did not go to the marriage selection point with the others.

The wide street was teeming with people.

Even so, the carriage carrying Chu Feng and his group traveled smoothly without any obstacles.

A black tiger demon at the Dao Integration Realm pulling a carriage—anyone who isn't a fool could tell just how extraordinary the person sitting in that carriage was.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the square where the martial arts contest for marriage was being held.

The square was packed with people, and a tall arena had been erected in the center of the square.

The arena was engraved with various runes and protected by an array.

At the end of the square, a grandstand was also set up.

Just as Chu Feng's carriage arrived at the square, a loud voice rang out across the square.

"The prodigies of the Dao-Seeking Academy have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their gaze to the carriage in which Chu Feng was riding.

Upon seeing the magnificent Black Tiger, everyone present began to murmur among themselves.

"This is the personal prodigy from the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy. To have Dao Integration Demon General pulling the carriage, his backer must be at least a King and Marquis."

"It seems that the eldest daughter of the Feng Lineage is quite popular at the Dao-Seeking Academy."

"No, it should be said that the Feng Lineage has a high status. If it were an ordinary Half-Saint power, their eldest daughter would have been offered up long ago if a genius from a holy land took a liking to her. Why would they hold a martial arts contest to find a husband?"

"..."

Soon, a steward from the Feng Lineage arrived in front of the carriage and led it towards the stands.

Initially, the Feng Lineage did not intend to reserve a place for the Dao-Seeking Academy.

However, Feng Mu defied all objections and insisted on giving the Dao-Seeking Academy a seat in the stands.

The Feng Lineage then reserved a seat. The moment the Feng Lineage members saw the tiger demon at the Dao Integration Realm appear, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

They were terrified that if the elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy were to overpower everyone else, the Feng Lineage would become a laughingstock.

In order to climb the social ladder of the Dao-Seeking Academy, he actually married his own daughter to a decrepit old man.

The carriage stopped in front of the stands, and the gate creaked open.

All eyes of the Feng Lineage members were fixed on the carriage.

Feng's father said to Feng Yanxiang, who was standing to the side, "Third brother, which old man injured you earlier? Tell your father."

Feng Yanxiang was stunned for a moment, but soon he saw a familiar figure on the carriage.

"Father, it was that brat who injured me!"

"Um?"

Feng's father stared blankly at the young man who had just stepped down from the carriage. "Didn't you say that the person who injured you was an elder from the Dao-Seeking Academy?"

Hearing this, Feng's mother said indignantly, "What, do you think our Little Feather has worse taste than me, choosing a decrepit old man who's over a hundred years old?"

Feng's father was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "Such a young elder of the Dao-Seeking Academy should already be famous throughout the land."

Phoenix Mother said, "Isn't it all because of those two from the Dao-Seeking Academy in this lifetime?"

Upon hearing this, Feng's father nodded slowly. He had naturally heard of Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian's reputations, and even when he mentioned those two young men, he felt nothing but awe.

It's likely that the only ones in the entire Fire Phoenix Valley who can suppress those two in terms of power are the group of elders.

The crowd looked puzzled as they saw the people alighting from the carriage.

Because none of them saw a powerful figure appear in the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Only when the Great Sage Benlei of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa on the high platform saw the crowd did he involuntarily tremble. He said to his junior, "Grandson, you should not participate in this martial arts contest for marriage. I will take you to pay your respects to our grandmaster first."

The young master of the Thunderclap Mountain Villa was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing the first half of the sentence, but the last half of the sentence made him extremely excited.

The grandmaster mentioned by the patriarch must be that invincible Great Sage defeated two saints. If he could be chosen by the grandmaster and become his disciple, what kind of beauty wouldn't he have?

"Promise."

The old man and the young man then got up and walked towards Chu Feng and the others.

This action naturally attracted the attention of the Feng Lineage in the stands. One of the Feng Lineage elders stared at Great Sage Benlei, wanting to see what he was going to do.

When he saw the Great Sage Benlei walking towards the group from the Dao-Seeking Academy, he exclaimed, "Oh no! Are the people from the Thunderclap Mountain Villa going to clash with the Dao-Seeking Academy?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Feng Lineage turned their attention to Great Sage Benlei.

But the next second, everyone in the Feng Lineage was stunned. They saw the Great Sage Benlei bow deeply to a young man from the Dao-Seeking Academy, performing a teacher's salute...
