Chapter 0233 Desolate atmosphere and mysterious box
Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was already noon.
But there was no dazzling sun in the sky.
Under the cover of white clouds, the weather was actually very good.
There is no exposure to the scorching sun and no invasion of rain.
In the courtyard of Prince Su's Mansion, everything began to proceed step by step.
Xia Fan is not the protagonist of this concubine recruitment conference.
He and Xia Xiaoxiao just sat silently in a corner of the courtyard, watching the concubine recruitment meeting begin.
The person who actually presided over this concubine recruitment meeting was Shen Yuerou.
As the daughter of the richest man in Qianjing, Shen Yuerou is absolutely comfortable with such a scene.
After a polite opening speech, it became clear that the concubine recruitment meeting was about to officially begin.
Shen Yuerou stood on the stage gracefully and said with a smile:
"Everyone here, ladies and gentlemen, I have something to tell you. The concubine recruitment meeting is about to officially begin, but before that, I still have a few words to say."
"I know that all the chivalrous ladies are here. Prince Su's concubine recruitment meeting is actually not aimed at the position of the mistress of Prince Su's palace."
"What you really want is the Nine Sword Art of Tianxin Guan."
"However, the reason why Tianxin Guan can come up with the Nine Sword Art as the top prize for this concubine recruitment conference is because the top prize winner will be the future mistress of Prince Su's Mansion."
"If you all plan to run away after getting the Nine Swords Technique, then your plans will be in vain."
"I want to make it clear here that even if one of you wins the first prize, you will need to consummate your marriage with Prince Su before you can obtain the Nine Swords Technique."
"And once you become Princess Su, you will become a member of Prince Su's palace."
"If you have any grudges, Prince Su's Mansion will help you. If you have any grudges, Prince Su's Mansion will also help you resolve them."
"But from now on, I must leave the world and devote myself to serving King Su well, giving birth to children for King Su, and raising my husband and children."
"If anyone dares to act recklessly, I can guarantee that there will be no place for you in this huge world."
"So, those who want to participate, you should think carefully about whether you can accept this kind of life."
"If you can't accept it, it's best not to participate. Prince Su's Mansion will treat you as a distinguished guest."
"But if any of you accepts it and regrets it later, you have to think clearly about the consequences."
After Shen Yuerou finished speaking, a dozen warriors exuding the aura of the Hundred Tribulation Realm flew directly onto the stage and stood behind Shen Yuerou.
This scene caused the expressions of all the women present to change.
In a corner of the courtyard, Xia Fan saw this scene and asked in surprise: "Where did this Yuerou girl find so many warriors of the Hundred Tribulations Realm?"
Xia Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Brother, you are too underestimating sister Yuerou. After all, she is also the daughter of the richest man in Qianjing. With the financial resources of the Shen family, how can there be any problem in raising some masters of the martial arts level?"
"Come on, the Shen family has no problem raising some warriors at the divine level. But to mobilize a dozen masters of the Hundred Tribulation Realm at once, without Zhongzhonglou's insistent nod for money, just with the empty talk of Yue Rou. Is it there?”
Xia Fan disagreed.
"Brother, you know what Uncle Shen meant and why are you still asking?" Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Xia Fan.
"What about the old man who wants money? He hasn't come to Suzhou yet?"
"Uncle Shen will arrive in Suzhou in three days. He said there are some things to deal with in the capital. Anyway, it won't delay your wedding."
"Wedding? Girl, do you want it so soon?" Xia Fan felt a little numb.
"Strike while the iron is hot so you don't regret it!"
"..."
In the courtyard.
As Shen Yuerou pulled out more than a dozen masters of the Hundred Tribulations Realm to stand on the platform.
Some of the knight-errants in the arena had already decided to give up, so they stood up and left silently.
But this is only a small part, and more chivalrous women have no intention of leaving.
In particular, none of the few women in the divine cultivation realm that Xia Fan saw before who were hiding their cultivation had left.
On the ring, Shen Yuerou looked at the women leaving and nodded lightly.
"Okay, since the rest of you choose to stay, you have made a choice."
"Then, next, the concubine recruitment meeting will officially begin."
"Because this concubine recruitment competition is to select a concubine for Prince Su, the competition will be divided into two parts."
"Wu Bi and Wen Bi."
"The martial arts competition, as the name suggests, is a competition to see who is stronger in martial arts and who has outstanding abilities."
"But for the sake of fairness, only the top names in the same realm will be produced."
"So, ladies and gentlemen, please don't lie about your cultivation level later. If you lie about your cultivation level from the Xiantian realm to the Foundation-building realm, then the opponents you encounter will all be at the Foundation-building realm."
"Of course, if you are confident that you can take the first place in the Foundation Establishment Realm with the martial arts level of the Xiantian Realm, we will not object."
"However, high-level people must not lie and report themselves as low-level bullies. Otherwise, once discovered, they will be eliminated directly and there will be nothing to say."
"If one of you is too high-level and has no opponent, he will win directly."
"The premise is that you have the confidence to block the attack from the Hundred Tribulation Realm master behind me."
"After the martial arts competition, there is the literary competition."
"Wenbi does not look at cultivation, but looks at confidence."
"But don't worry, the literary competition is not about poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"The content of the competition will be set by Prince Su directly. Whoever solves the questions set by Prince Su first will be the future mistress of Prince Su's Mansion."
Xia Fan in the corner of the courtyard was a little confused when he heard this: "Do I still want to ask questions?"
Xia Xiaoxiao heard this and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to their brother and sister, she quickly whispered:
"It's just a symbolic question. In fact, it's asking you to choose your concubine."
"Anyway, whoever you like when the time comes, just let that person pass."
Xia Fan asked, "But what if I don't like any of them?"
"You don't like any of them? Why don't you go to heaven? These women are the top women in the world. You don't like them. Do you want me, your sister, to find a fairy for you?"
Xia Xiaoxiao began to grind her teeth.
"It would be nice if you could find an immortal to come back. If you can have an immortal as your princess, you won't be humiliated by your brother." Xia Fan chuckled.
"You said you were fat and you were out of breath. Believe it or not, I will directly help you find a witch and torture you to death." Xia Xiaoxiao said angrily.
As soon as Xia Xiaoxiao said these words, she didn't notice that at her feet, the eyes of the two-headed fox demon, one white and one purple, suddenly lit up, and the fox's tail swayed, as if it was very excited.
"Forget it about witches. I don't have such a hobby. If it's a witch, you can consider it. The premise is that you have to find a witch first." Xia Fan looked like he was ready to make a move.
When the two demon foxes heard this, their wagging tails suddenly drooped down, their eyes full of regret.
Xia Xiaoxiao hummed softly and said: "Okay, if we meet you in the future, I will definitely give you ten or eight witches to serve you. I'll see if you are afraid or not!"
Just when the brother and sister were fighting each other.
In the courtyard, something suddenly happened.
I saw a woman wearing purple clothes and covering her face, coming out of the crowd and coming to the ring.
She looked at Shen Yuerou gently and asked calmly: "You just said so much, all centered on Prince Su's Mansion, but you should know why most of us are here."
"So, you actually have to show us first whether the Nine Sword Art in your hands is real."
"If it is true, we are willing to abide by any rules you mentioned, but if it is false, wouldn't it be ridiculous to have so many rules you just mentioned?"
When Shen Yuerou heard this, she was not angry and asked pleasantly: "Miss, do you think we can't master the Nine Sword Art?"
"Of course, who doesn't know that this Nine Swords Technique is the supreme secret of Tianxin Guan, how could it be easily obtained by your Prince Su's Mansion and be used as a reward for such a concubine recruiting conference."
The woman in purple looked suspicious.
Shen Yuerou nodded slightly and shouted to the next woman in the ring: "Sister Qingshuang, it's your turn to play."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingshuang's figure fell onto the ring.
Shen Yuerou pointed at Li Qingshuang, who was dressed in white and had a cold temperament, and said, "Girl, do you know who she is?"
The woman in purple frowned: "Do you know who she is and what it has to do with the Nine Sword Art?"
"Of course it does matter, because she provided the Nine Sword Art." Shen Yuerou said with a calm smile.
"she?"
"Yes, that's her. Girl, you don't have to know her, but you must have heard of her father's name."
"Her father is Li Chengfeng, the master of Tianxin Temple. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out first."
"Moreover, the Nine Sword Art is on her body, and it is guaranteed to be true."
Shen Yuerou introduced with a calm expression.
The woman in purple suddenly looked at Li Qingshuang in surprise.
"You are actually Daochang Li's daughter?"
"So, behind Prince Su's Mansion is Taoist Master Li of Tianxin Temple?"
Li Qingshuang glanced at the woman in purple and said coldly: "Tianxin Guan is Tianxin Guan, and Prince Su's Mansion is Prince Su's Mansion. Our Tianxin Guan has always been on good terms with Prince Su's Mansion. When Prince Su recruits a concubine, what's the use of using this Nine Sword Art as a starting point? Isn’t it possible?”
The woman in purple immediately smiled and said: "Of course it can. Since you have Tianxin Guan as a guarantee, we will have no problem."
"So, we don't need to wait any longer, let's just start."
As she spoke, the purple-clothed woman shouted to the people below: "The Saint of Zixia Palace, Zi Yueming, is at the pinnacle of the Immortal Ascension Realm. Those of the same realm can come on stage and fight!"
Shen Yuerou looked at Zi Yueming, who was turning his back on guests, and smiled lightly without any anger. She pulled Li Qingshuang and walked directly out of Thunder with a dozen Hundred Tribulation Realm masters behind her.
"Holy Maid of Zixia Palace, Zi Yueming? Brother, this can be done, this can be done. It is said that this Zi Yueming was born at the age of seven, and established the foundation at the age of twelve. She has already reached the peak of the Immortal Realm at the age of sixteen this year, and is only one step away from it. But he has entered the realm of spiritual cultivation. Moreover, there are rumors in the world that Zi Yueming has been intelligent since childhood. Not only is he extremely talented in martial arts, but he is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his temperament is that he hates evil and likes to fight against injustice."
"If she can marry into our Prince Su's palace, she will definitely be good." Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright, staring at Zi Yueming on the ring with excitement.
Xia Fan was speechless: "Girl, are you a little too philanthropic? You like everyone you see. Before, you were talking about how nice the green fairy was. Now when you see Zi Yueming, you are talking about how nice this one is. If you really like it, How about I marry all the girls here?"
Xia Xiaoxiao just rolled her eyes: "What you are thinking is quite beautiful. Do you also want to have a harem with three thousand beauties? Aren't you afraid of dying from exhaustion?"
"Brother, I am indestructible and will never die from exhaustion." Xia Fan patted his chest and said with a smile.
"Don't daydream. We in Prince Su's Mansion have always had one king and one concubine. As parents do, you should do the same." Xia Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and then said.
"However, in view of the weak connections in our Prince Su's Palace, I will make an exception for you and allow you to take in two more concubines to add some people to our Prince Su's Palace. This is the bottom line and cannot be exceeded."
"Heh, girl, it's a pity that you don't want to be a housekeeper." Xia Fan said with a helpless smile.
