At that time, apart from the deliberate destruction of An Jingxu later, Gongyang Tongzhi won the previous battle with his true ability. What's more, his strength has also improved over the years and has reached the ninth level of Xuanjie. He can deal with his subordinates back then.
He is still very confident about the defeated An Jingxu.
Moreover, in that battle that year, he seriously injured An Jingxu's key meridians.
An Jingxu's level has fallen a lot, but it's already good to be able to return to his previous strength.
The betrothal gift of the Gongyang family was unexpected. It was originally a bit unlucky, but fortunately An Jingxu came to the door. In this game, Gongyang Tongzhi decided that he must win beautifully and let the Ye family see his strength.
A fair competition naturally had the appearance of a fair competition. An Jingxu and Gongyang Tongzhi stood on both sides of the martial arts arena, and three notaries, Ye Qingnian, Ye Xiangrong, and Tian Yuanfeng, sat outside the martial arts arena.
As for Gong Yangli, he also sat on the sidelines and acted as a spectator.
Also in the audience were Xia Yu, Zhao Xinru, Ye Qianmo, Ye Zizi, and other members of the Ye family.
This is a challenge related to ranking on the rookie list. An Jingxu and Gongyang Tongzhi are both young talents. Who doesn’t want to see this competition?
What's more, Gongyang Tongzhi is also the future uncle of the Ye family, so this competition is even more attractive.
Not long after the news spread, the martial arts arena was already crowded with people.
Ye Zizi and Ye Qianmo stood next to Xia Yu, with somewhat sweet smiles on their faces. However, Ye Qianmo often concealed it deliberately, but the joy in Ye Zizi's heart could not be concealed at all.
.
When she was at her most desperate, her big brother Yuwen came out of nowhere and pulled her out of the abyss. Her heart sank to an unknown depth.
"Brother Yuwen..." Ye Zizi whispered, "I heard that you defeated all the challengers during the welfare year, right?"
Xia Yu was about to nod, but then he thought of Pu Feizhang and said, "A friend gave up when he saw that my opponent was me. In that match, if there was a real fight, I might not be his opponent."
"Oh... I heard Senior Sister say... that you are kind to that person."
Xia Yu shook his head, "Actually, you can't say that. I killed his enemy unintentionally, not with the intention of helping him.
It was that friend who was affectionate and righteous, that made him regard me as a benefactor.
Speaking of which, I deserve it."
"Oh..." Ye Zizi nodded, thinking that Brother Yuwen must have done too many good things, so he accidentally met the people he helped.
Brother Yuwen is really a good person, not greedy for merit at all, and he is also an honest person, and he even directly said that he is not that person's opponent.
I wonder if Xia Yu would spit blood three feet high if he knew that Ye Zizi thought he was an "honest person".
You know, in that small world of the earth, "honest person" is not a good word. The mantra of those young girls who hang out in the dust of big cities is "make some money while you are young, and then find an honest man to marry"
, an honest person is similar to a taker.
"Then...Brother Yuwen..." Ye Zizi continued, "They said you were working as a handyman in Zhaixing Pavilion. Is that a test for you?"
"Um...yes."
Xia Yu nodded.
"I knew those unpleasant words must be rumors."
Ye Zizi smiled.
...Cheng Qiuya, the mother of sisters Ye Qianmo and Ye Zizi, was also among the crowd. She was not with Ye Qianmo and the others, but deliberately stood elsewhere, looking at the two sisters and Xia Yu from a distance.
Cheng Qiuya was also a little surprised that her daughter actually knew a young man like Yu Wenxia.
She had heard some bits and pieces of information about Yu Wenxia before. She wanted to choose a promising young husband for the two sisters. Naturally, she paid attention to the geniuses on the rookie list.
However, the news about Yu Wenxia was mostly negative, so Yu Wenxia was removed from her sight early.
But when I saw it today, it became clear that many of the rumors were false.
Moreover, in the living room just now, Ye Zizi's attitude towards Yu Wenxia was a bit abnormal. As a woman, Cheng Qiuya was very sensitive to her daughter's abnormal reactions. Now, she was watching Ye Zizi and Yu Wenxia talking from a distance.
Smiling, she couldn't help but secretly guess in her heart, did her daughter have some affection for this Yu Wenxia?
It seems that after the competition is over, I must ask my daughter carefully.
...Not to mention Cheng Qiuya's guess, Tian Yuanfeng had already learned what happened just now from Ye Xiangrong.
Although she did not support the fact that the Ye family went against Ye Zizi's will and married her to Gongyang Tongzhi, she also felt that there was unlikely to be any problem with the Gongyang family's betrothal gift.
However, what Ye Xiangrong said was not detailed. As an outsider, it was not convenient for Tian Yuanfeng to get to the bottom of things. He could only wait until later to ask Ye Qianmo and sister Ye Zizi.
She glanced at An Jingxu, and then focused on Xia Yu.
"Master Ye..." Tian Yuanfeng asked, "Is that young man a disciple of Zhaixing Pavilion?
Called Yu Wenxia?"
Ye Qingnian nodded, "Exactly."
"I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
"When he entered the rookie list at the yellow level, Elder Tian may have heard of it."
Tian Yuanfeng suddenly said: "It turns out it's him... I heard that he is good at using bows and arrows, so he actually went to Zhaixing Pavilion to learn swordsmanship. Could it be that there are similarities between this sword and arrows?"
Tian Yuanfeng has a martial arts fanatic in her character, otherwise she would not have become the most powerful among the Supreme Elders of Wanhua Sect.
"I'm not sure...but Yu Wenxia and Gongyang Tongzhi almost fought before. His swordsmanship is quite sharp. If he hadn't deliberately controlled it, Gongyang Tongzhi might have been injured by his sword..." Ye Qingnian thought about it.
After thinking about it, he added, "Among the young people I have met, this Yu Wenxia is considered to be the best in swordsmanship."
"Well..." Tian Yuanfeng nodded, "After all, he is the apprentice of Star Reacher..." At this point, Tian Yuanfeng suddenly noticed Zhao Xinru standing next to Xia Yu. Although Zhao Xinru was still wearing a bamboo hat, Tian Yuanfeng was keenly aware of it.
A hint of something strange.
Tracing back to her lineage, Zhao Xinru should be regarded as a disciple of Tian Yuanfeng's line. She wanted to call Tian Yuanfeng Taishizu instead of Taishi's uncle.
The move that Zhao Xinru "understood" shocked almost the entire Wanhua Sect, and Tian Yuanfeng even specially summoned Zhao Xinru.
Heaven-level monks like Tian Yuanfeng have extraordinary eyesight. Although Zhao Xinru didn't show his face, Tian Yuanfeng felt familiar when he saw the figure.
"Master Ye, who is that person next to Yu Wenxia?"
"The person who came with Yu Wenxia should be someone from Zhaixing Pavilion, maybe his servant."
"I heard that the minimum cultivation level of the servants in Zhaixing Pavilion is the earth level. This person's aura seems to be lower than the earth level."
