Xiong Datou picked up the wine jar and took two swigs, then gasped and said: "I...I fell in love with a woman..."
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "You have fallen in love with a woman? This is a good thing. You should be happy. Why are you looking sad?"
"You don't understand the inside story." Xiong Datou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Why don't I understand the inside story? Is it right to like a woman?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "What? Doesn't that woman like you? Do you have unrequited love?"
"No, that woman also likes me. We are in love."
"Isn't it time to get married? Since you two are in love, you can get together. If you are impatient, you can get married tomorrow. If you need a witness, you can find me."
"Do you know who the woman I like is?"
"Who?"
"Zhuang Xiaorou."
"Zhuang Xiaorou? This name sounds familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember it for a while." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and patted his forehead: "Look at my brain, it's getting harder and harder to use.
"
Xiong Datou breathed out softly: "She is the daughter of Elder Zhuang."
"Hmm... uh? Elder Zhuang's daughter?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "Yes, that's right, I remembered it, Elder Zhuang's daughter is called Zhuang Xiaorou, you can do it, you are awesome, even Elder Zhuang's
Did you get your daughter? You are really awesome!" Ma Xiaoyao was truly impressed: "Brother Xiong, I just realized now that your charm is so great! Brother, I'm convinced!"
"What are you taking? I'm almost worried to death." Xiong Datou sighed heavily.
"You have embraced the beauty, so what else do you have to worry about?" Ma Xiaoyao didn't understand.
"Gu Tianhai also likes Zhuang Xiaorou." Xiong Datou said: "He has approached me several times and warned me to stay away from Zhuang Xiaorou. If I dare to have thoughts about Zhuang Xiaorou, he will be rude to me."
"So that's what you're worried about?" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head indifferently: "Isn't he just Gu Tianhai? There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Gu Tianhai is Elder Zhuang's disciple." Xiong Datou said with a bitter smile: "And he is also an eighth-level innate master. I am only a first-level innate master, so I am no match for him."
"What? Gu Tianhai still dares to take action?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "Don't forget, this is the Kunwu Sect! The first rule of the Kunwu Sect is to strictly prohibit the disciples from killing each other. Anyone who dares to disobey will be directly expelled.
Let’s go out! Don’t worry, even if Gu Tianhai borrows ten of his courage, he won’t dare to attack you here.”
Xiong Datou shook his head with a wry smile on his face: "As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Maybe Gu Tianhai doesn't dare to deal with me blatantly, but he can stumble me secretly. Being beaten by an innate eighth-level master
If you keep a close eye on me, I will definitely not have a good life in the future."
"That's a question." Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Does Elder Zhuang know what happened between you and her daughter?"
"I probably don't know." Xiong Datou said uncertainly: "Zhuang Xiaorou probably hasn't told Elder Zhuang yet."
"This is wrong." Ma Xiaoyao held down Xiong Datou's arm and said seriously: "Elder Zhuang should know that if you can get Elder Zhuang's approval, that Gu Tianhai will not dare to target you."
Xiong Datou blinked: "The key question is...can Elder Zhuang agree? I am just a first-class innate disciple, so I definitely can't get into his eyes?"
"You are still young, and you still have a lot of time to practice. Your future achievements may not be worse than Elder Zhuang. Brother Xiong, you have to have confidence in yourself and don't be a coward! Be brave and go there in person.
Go to Elder Zhuang to show your cards, be sincere, and with Zhuang Xiaorou interceding by your side, I think Elder Zhuang will agree."
"Is it really possible? Why do I have no confidence at all?"
"Listen to me, that's right!"
"...I'd better go to Zhuang Xiaorou to discuss it and see what she thinks."
"Aren't you usually very assertive in doing things? Why do you get so panicked when it comes to things between men and women?"
"Everything we encountered before was trivial, but now we are encountering major events in life, so we can't be careless."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I have already thought of a way for you. As for whether you adopt it or not, I don't care." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao added: "Brother Xiong, you
If you can really be with Zhuang Xiaorou, you will be very successful in the future. With an outer elder supporting you, will you still dare to bully you in the future? Even Gu Tianhai will be polite to you when he sees you."
"You misunderstood." Xiong Datou said with a serious expression: "I am interested in Zhuang Xiaorou as a person, not her identity. We truly love each other."
"Yes, yes, you truly love each other, and I congratulate you on finding your lover and getting married." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and raised the wine jar: "Here, I respect you and congratulate you on finding the woman you like."
"I'd like to lend you some good advice." Xiong Datou picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
Neither of them was too lazy to use a cup, so they directly held the wine jars and drank from each other. In a short time, the wine jars were full.
"It's great! It's so great today!" Xiong Datou threw the empty wine jar on the table, then stretched out his hand to touch his mouth: "It's just not enough! Wait a minute, I'll get some more jars of wine."
"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao grabbed Xiong Datou: "That's it for today. If we drink any more, we will get drunk."
"Just get drunk, what are you afraid of?"
"No, I have to practice at night. I can't get drunk."
"You are so diligent. You don't even waste such a small amount of time. I am not as good as you."
"Brother Xiong, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. Your top priority now is to step up your cultivation and improve your cultivation. As for your children's personal relationship, don't take up too much time. If you can cultivate to the Huang level, Gu Tianhai still dares to threaten you.
You?"
Xiong Datou nodded: "Don't worry, I know it well... Oh, by the way, there is something I almost forgot to mention."
"What's up?"
"Have you heard? In two months, the tournament will be held."
"A tourney? What is that? I've never heard of it?"
"You really don't have enough information. The martial arts tournament is organized by the sect. It is held every three years. The participants can only be innate disciples and yellow-level disciples. After the innate disciples compete, it will be the turn of the yellow-level disciples to compete. Finally, they can enter.
The top ten disciples will receive generous rewards, especially the two first place ones. The rewards are even more generous. Not only will they be rewarded with a storage space, but they will also be rewarded with a low-level magic weapon."
"Reward a storage space?" Ma Xiaoyao was immediately moved. What he desires most now is storage space.
"How is it? Are you tempted? To tell you the truth, I am also tempted. I also want storage space and low-level magic weapons? But I know myself. With my little strength, it is impossible to get first place.
, even if you want to enter the top ten, it is difficult." Xiong Datou sighed.
"You just said how long until the martial arts tournament is held?" Ma Xiaoyao asked urgently.
"There are still two months."
"Can all disciples who are in the innate realm participate? Are there any restrictions?"
"No, as long as the disciples in the innate realm can participate, there are no restrictions."
"Okay, this is a good thing. I was worried about where to get storage space. I didn't expect that the sect would directly give me a reward. Yes, it's really good. What's the saying? Just when you want to sleep, someone will give you a reward.
Give me a pillow." Ma Xiaoyao laughed happily.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Xiong Datou stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ma Xiaoyao's eyes: "I'm not pouring cold water on you. With your level of cultivation, it's impossible to get first place."
"Don't be so absolute." Ma Xiaoyao raised a finger and shook it slightly: "The martial arts tournament is about martial arts, not cultivation."
"What? Do you really want to compete for the first place?" Xiong Datou smiled: "You don't have a fever, do you?"
"You just have a fever!" Ma Xiaoyao glared at Xiong Datou: "If you are fine, go back as soon as possible. I have to practice."
"You guy...I still have something to say...Hey, hey, why do you want to drive people away again? Ma Xiaoyao, do you believe that I will break up with you? Just be gentle, I will leave on my own...
Can you please stop being so rude?" Xiong Datou pushed Ma Xiaoyao away hard and said angrily: "You can do it, aren't you driving me away? I will never come again! You are just carrying me in a big sedan chair.
I'm not coming either! Humph!" With a flick of his sleeves, Xiong Datou left angrily.
Ma Xiaoyao stood at the door and curled his lips disdainfully: "You always threaten me with breaking up our relationship. Do you think I'm scared? If you can, don't come!" Ma Xiaoyao didn't let go of Xiong Datou's cruel words at all.
In his heart, Ma Xiaoyao knew that what Xiong Datou said was out of anger and not true at all. When the mood calmed down, he would still come to drink and chat.
A true friend will never become distant just because of a few words.
"Contest?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes flashed: "The first place can get a storage space and a low-level magic weapon... The reward is really generous..." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and touched his bare chin.
: "It seems like we need to adjust our cultivation methods."
Stop practicing internal strength secrets and spend all your time practicing martial arts. Only when your martial arts improves can you win the first place.
If there was no reward of storage space, Ma Xiaoyao would not be so tempted. He really wanted to have a storage space so much that he even dreamed about it.
"Storage space! I must snatch it from you!!!" Ma Xiaoyao waved his fist fiercely.
A disciple with an innate third-level cultivation actually wants to win the first place in the martial arts competition? If someone knew about this, I wonder if they would laugh out loud? Even if they didn't laugh out loud, they would scold Ma Xiaoyao for overestimating his own abilities.
Ma Xiaoyao is such a person. As long as he sets a goal, he will do everything possible to achieve it, even if he resorts to any means. Of course, the premise is that he cannot do anything that goes against his conscience.
You can use means, but the bottom line must be preserved. If you don’t even have the minimum bottom line, you really can’t be considered a person.
