Chapter 566 Competition to win a son-in-law, fighting between dragons and tigers
Huo Wen glanced at Chen Qi and asked in surprise, "Brother Chen came here without even knowing about this?"
Chen Qi shook his head, "To be honest, Chen came here today as an invitation to visit the old prince. As for the martial arts competition, I have not heard about it."
Yesterday, Yu Qingxuan told Chen Qi that the old prince Yu Canghai wanted to see him.
Yu Qingxuan didn't mention the martial arts competition, and the winner can become the Yu family's consort?
Chen Qi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he had known this earlier, he would definitely not have come here.
Huo Wen chuckled and said, "It's not too late to know now.
So, the few of us are considered competitors, so don’t show mercy later.”
As soon as Huo Wen finished speaking, he heard the butler He Fu shouting loudly.
"The old prince is here!"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests in the hall stood up.
Then I saw an old man with a strong build and a tall body, walking proudly with a majestic pace.
This person is the old prince Yu Canghai, the helmsman of the Yu family!
Behind Yu Canghai, followed a young woman, it was the little princess Yu Qingxuan.
With a warm smile on his face, Yu Canghai walked to the high platform and sat down on an imperial chair.
Yu Qingxuan stood obediently behind him, his beautiful eyes flowing.
When he saw Chen Qi in the crowd, he immediately smiled.
The next moment, everyone present saluted respectfully.
"See the old prince!"
"May the old prince be blessed!"
Yu Canghai waved his hand calmly, "Everyone, please excuse me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yu Canghai looked around at the people below, and then asked the butler to congratulate him, "Ah Fu, are everyone here?"
"Reply to the old prince, everyone is here."
Yu Canghai nodded slightly, "Very good."
Then, Yu Canghai held his breath and concentrated, and said indifferently.
"Everyone, I believe you all already know the purpose of why I asked you to come here.
My royal family, the Yu family, is one of the five top-ranking royal families. We have been in Dongyuan for hundreds of years, and no one can surpass us!"
"Now, I have reached the age of old age and need an heir to continue the glory of my family.
However, I have only three daughters, the eldest daughter, and the second daughter is now a woman. Although the younger daughter is beautiful and smart, she is outstanding, but she is a woman after all, and it is difficult for her to be qualified for such a big responsibility!"
"Therefore, I would like to find a good son-in-law to marry into my Yu family and help my Yu family prosper for thousands of years!"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Although in today's society, women's status is equal to that of men.
But when it comes to carrying the family business alone, it is still a bit difficult for a female.
The old prince Yu Canghai has always wanted a son to inherit his legacy.
But contrary to expectations, all girls were born.
Then the only option is to find a good son-in-law to help his daughter support the family business.
Yu Canghai continued, "Our city [Dongyuan] has a vast territory, rich resources, and numerous talents. It is really difficult to select the best one among thousands of young talents."
"So, I want to call everyone together to compete for the best one."
Yu Canghai leaned back slightly, his eyes piercing, "But you should know that my royal family, the Yu family, has been practicing martial arts for generations and respects martial arts!"
"You want to be the prince-in-law of my royal family, the Yu family, but you are not good at it!"
"Of course I know that the people here today are all men of both civil and military abilities."
"It's a pity that the prince-in-law only needs one person!"
After hearing this, everyone started gearing up.
Yu Canghai is right. The people present today have nothing to say about their family background, background or abilities.
But the Yu family only needs one consort.
This means that the one with the highest martial arts skills must be selected from among them.
As long as they can become the consort of the Yu family, it will be absolutely harmless to their future personal achievements and the development of the family!
It is foreseeable that there will be a fight between dragons and tigers next!
However, what Yu Canghai said next shocked everyone present.
"Actually, I made arrangements for today's events a few days ago.
But last night, my little girl suddenly told me that she already has a sweetheart."
Yu Canghai pretended to be sorry and said, "If only she had told me in advance..."
As soon as he said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"What?"
"The little princess has a sweetheart?"
"Who is it? Who is her sweetheart?
Are you here today?"
"No way, the little princess has a sweetheart, so why did you call us all here?"
In the crowd, Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
While everyone was making noise, Yu Canghai raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then, Yu Canghai raised his head and asked, "Where is Chen Qi?"
Swish swish swish~~~
In an instant, the eyes of everyone present were focused on one place.
In the crowd, Chen Qi smiled bitterly. Under the hostile eyes of everyone, he stood up slowly and bowed humbly.
"Boy Chen Qi, I have met the old prince."
Chen Qi glanced at Yu Qingxuan on the stage from the corner of his eyes, but saw that the other party looked away with a guilty conscience and did not dare to look at Chen Qi.
Needless to say, Chen Qi was indeed tricked by this girl.
Yu Canghai looked at Chen Qi carefully, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, he is indeed a talented person."
Chen Qi: "..."
Afterwards, Yu Canghai said to everyone, "Everyone has seen that this person is my little daughter's sweetheart."
"Originally, my little girl has found her sweetheart, so I shouldn't have held today's competition to find a bride."
"But since everyone is here, we can't let you go in vain, can we?"
Everyone looked at each other, "Old Prince, what do you mean..."
Yu Canghai stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile.
"No matter who among you can defeat Chen Qi, then he can take Chen Qi's place and become the consort of my Yu family!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar again.
"Is this true?"
"As long as you defeat that kid, you can become the Yu family's consort?"
"Haha, that's not easy. I have to decide on the Yu family's consort!"
…
During the commotion, Chen Qi's head was covered with black lines.
What's going on here?
He came today as the head of the Chen family to establish a good relationship with the old prince Yu Canghai.
But suddenly he was told that he had become Yu Qingxuan’s sweetheart?
Then Yu Canghai suddenly announced that as long as he defeated him, he could become the Yu family's consort?
Looking at the wolf-like and tiger-like eyes around him, Chen Qi felt extremely depressed.
"However, let me remind you first that this Chen Qi defeated my little girl Yu Qingxuan in the past.
So, it’s best for everyone to do what they can!”
Yu Canghai said with a smile.
Obviously, in this noisy scene, everyone did not listen to Yu Canghai's words.
Chen Qi defeated Yu Qingxuan in the past, so what?
Among the people present today, who is not a martial arts genius with extraordinary talents in their respective families?
As long as you defeat Chen Qi, you can become the Yu family's consort.
Even if you know you are not strong enough, you still have to try.
What if it succeeds?
Wouldn’t it immediately turn a pheasant into a phoenix?
