Wangyu went out to do errands during the day, so today’s two chapters will be updated together in the evening. ^^
………………
As soon as Zhao Lingxiu said these words, everyone present immediately focused their attention.
Many people looked at this woman with extremely fiery eyes, but Han Zhe remained extremely calm.
"Lingxiu, what's wrong?" Zhao Zhutong asked.
Zhao Lingxiu glanced outside the valley, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, but she immediately regained her composure.
"Fellow Taoist Hanzhe is indeed stronger than everyone else, but Lingxiu has always had a small request in her heart for her future husband. I wonder if Brother Hanzhe can fulfill it?" Zhao Lingxiu said.
"I don't know what the saint's request is, but it doesn't matter." Han Zhe raised his eyebrows and said.
"It's not that difficult. Lingxiu likes strong people. If you want to be my husband, you have to be better than me in strength. Brother Hanzhe's magical power of fire just now was extremely powerful. Lingxiu is a little itchy. I wonder if you can give me some advice."
?" Zhao Lingxiu said word for word.
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar, and a buzz of discussion suddenly broke out around him.
Grandma Jinfeng and the other powerful gods looked at each other without making a sound.
The public selection of a son-in-law this time was a joint decision of the three desolate tribes. Everyone knew the true purpose. Zhao Lingxiu was reluctant to do so. She wanted to test her husband, so they couldn't say anything.
Zhao Linglong looked at the saint and sighed softly.
Zhao Xuanji also blinked with her beautiful eyes.
"Haha, since the saint has this request, Han will naturally work hard to meet your request." Han Zhe was startled at first, and then laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved and he came to the writing table.
"Holy girl, please enlighten me." After standing still, Qiyi turned to Zhao Lingxiu on the viewing platform, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile.
Everyone watching around the sinkhole applauded this outstanding and polite young man from the Lingfu tribe.
Zhao Lingxiu turned her head and glanced at Zhao Linglong beside her. A hint of stubbornness appeared on her beautiful face, and then she turned around and turned into a stream of light, falling on the desk.
"In order to win the heart of the saint, I have to offend him first." Hanzhe saluted Zhao Lingxiu again and said respectfully.
"No need to say more, let's do it." Zhao Lingxiu frowned and said in a cold voice.
As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies lit up with light at the same time. Just as they were about to start fighting, an extremely loud sound suddenly came from mid-air.
"Wait a minute, if you want to fight the Saint, you have to defeat me first!"
As soon as Zhao Lingxiu heard this voice, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes became slightly moist, and there was a little light.
When everyone was wondering who was speaking, they saw a rainbow light suddenly flying like lightning from the direction of the valley mouth.
Before many people could react, they saw a figure flash in front of them, and a figure with two wings on its back appeared on the writing table.
This person is none other than Shi Mu.
Hanzhe looked at Shi Mu who suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his brows furrowed.
On the viewing platform, Zhao Linglong's expression changed slightly, and when she looked at Shi Mu, her eyes became a little more complicated.
Zhao Xuanji, who was beside him, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Shi Mu. She looked a little confused, and then she showed something like a smile but not a smile.
"Who is this? Why are you so rude?"
As soon as Shi Mu appeared, the surrounding area was noisy, and people began to speculate about Shi Mu's identity.
"Where did this daredevil come from? How dare you act wild here?" Zhao Zhutong didn't recognize Shi Mu, but when he saw Shi Mu rushing in, he couldn't help but get furious.
Shi Mu turned a deaf ear to these words.
At this moment, his eyes could no longer accommodate anyone else. All that was left was the woman standing less than ten feet away from him.
Her eyebrows are the same as before, but her makeup is more refined, and her beautiful eyes are slightly shiny, but the friendship within them has not changed at all.
"Xiu'er..."
Shi Mu shouted through the sound transmission.
"Brother Shi, is it really you? Have you really come to see Xiu'er?" Zhong Xiu, who has become a saint of the Tianfeng clan, asked through a voice transmission with her eyes even moister.
"Xiu'er, it's me, I'm here." Shi Mu replied.
"I knew, Brother Shi, that you would not leave Xiu'er alone, and I knew that you would definitely come to Xiu'er." Zhong Xiu replied via voice transmission, bursts of joy beyond his words.
He subconsciously wanted to walk towards Shi Mu, but was stopped by Shi Mu.
"Xiu'er, we can't recognize each other right now. Let's resolve the matter at hand first." Shi Mu said through the message.
Zhong Xiu's steps stagnated, and he slowly took his steps back.
"Well, Brother Shi, Xiu'er listens to you." Zhong Xiu replied.
"Don't worry, Xiu'er, you are my wife, you can only marry me. I will never let you marry anyone else." Shi Mu said firmly.
After hearing this, Zhong Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and two blushes appeared on his face, but his heart felt sweeter than eating honey.
The people around seemed to notice that the atmosphere on the stone platform was a bit subtle, and they started talking about it for a while.
"Hehe, this is really interesting." Shu Youjin's eyes flashed, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself.
"Who are you? If you don't speak, I will expel you." Zhao Zhutong shouted angrily.
"Elder Qi, I am the fourth elder of the Great Ape Clan and the representative of the Great Ape Clan, Shi Mu." Shi Mu said loudly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh, so it's you? You missed the competition time before, and now you have been deprived of the qualification. Leave quickly." Zhao Zhutong said coldly with a stern look on his face.
"Get out of here quickly, don't waste time." The crowd watching around the sinkhole also became impatient and shouted one after another.
After all, in their eyes, Shi Mu was someone who abandoned war. The Tianhe tribe respected force and admired the strong, so they naturally disdained such behavior.
Shi Mu frowned slightly, and thoughts began to spin in his mind.
At this moment, a person suddenly came out of the crowd on the viewing platform, came to Zhao Zhu and others, saluted them, and said loudly: "For the record, elders, Shi Mu has the right to challenge Han Zhe."
Shi Mu heard the sound and looked towards the man, slightly shocked, but saw that it was Shu Youjin who stood up to speak for him.
"Are you kidding? He didn't participate in any of the previous rounds, so how can he have the right to challenge?" Zhao Zhutong asked in surprise.
"Elder Qi, Shi Mu has the right to be exempted from combat and does not need to participate in the previous competition." Shu Youjin said loudly.
"Before the first round of the competition, I announced the list of ten people who have the right to be exempted from fighting. Shi Mu is not included in this list. Don't mess around." Zhao Zhutong said with a trace of anger on his face.
"The elder said before that those ten people were exempted from the war because of their prominent family backgrounds and outstanding strength, and they paid extremely precious gifts, right?" Shu Youjin asked with a smile.
"That's right." Zhao Zhutong didn't know what Shu Youjin meant by this, so he nodded and replied.
"Brother Shi is a representative of the giant ape clan of the Eight Wilderness Ancient Clan. His family background can be considered prominent?" Shu Youjin asked.
Although the Mitian Giant Ape clan has been in decline for a thousand years, its status and reputation among the ancient tribes of the Eight Wildernesses are irrefutable. Moreover, it has disappeared for thousands of years, and no one knows how much strength it still retains today.
"As for the giant ape family, they are naturally considered prominent." Zhao Zhutong pondered for a while and said.
"Although Brother Shi is in the middle stage of the Saint level, he can kill the god-level puppets in our clan. Is his strength considered outstanding?" Shu Youjin continued to ask.
"What? Has he ever killed a god-level puppet?" Zhao Zhutong was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
After a moment, he turned around and exchanged glances with Granny Jinfeng and others who were sitting on the viewing platform, then turned back again and said: "Even if he meets the first two points, I haven't seen him.
What kind of congratulatory gifts have you received?"
"Shi Mu's gift is right here." After saying that, Shu Youjin turned his wrist and a white jade purifying bottle appeared in his palm.
As soon as this bottle appeared, a strong aura of water-attribute origin immediately emanated from the viewing platform.
When everyone saw the bursts of brilliant light on the white jade bottle, and the red light shining from time to time, they knew that this object was not extraordinary.
"Brother Shu, this Rehai Spring Spirit is your gift of alliance..." Before Shi Mu could finish his message, he was interrupted by Shu Youjin.
"Hehe, to be honest with Brother Shi, I actually used this thing for marriage purposes, but now I have no chance. But you still have a chance. I believe you will be able to defeat him, so I put the treasure on you.
I'm sure you won't let me lose this deal, right?" Shu Youjin replied via voice message.
"If you don't say thank you for your great kindness, Shi will definitely pay it back in the future." Shi Mu said solemnly.
"Can this Rehai Spring Spirit be considered a precious thing?" Shu Youjin smiled and asked Zhao Zhutong loudly.
Zhao Zhutong stared at the white jade porcelain bottle for a few times, with a trace of hesitation on his face.
"Although this Atami Spring Spirit is precious, it is not rare. It is still far behind the congratulatory gifts given by the other ten people." Zhao Zhutong was silent for a moment and said this.
Hearing these words, Shu Youjin's face suddenly froze.
"Brother Shi, I'm sorry. This is the most precious treasure I have on my body at the moment." Shu Youjin smiled helplessly and said through a voice transmission.
"Okay, you have had enough trouble, retreat quickly." Zhao Zhutong said loudly.
The people around the sinkhole had seen enough of the excitement. At this moment, they just wanted to watch the battle between the Saint and Hanzhe. They all started shouting and told Shi Mu to get off the table.
"The Atami Spring Spirit is not qualified, so is this thing qualified?"
Shi Mu's voice was not loud, but the noise around him quickly subsided.
His palm was raised high, holding a blood-red crystal jade hairpin.
The head of this jade hairpin is like a phoenix, the carving is lifelike, the body of the hairpin is as transparent as crystal and as warm as jade, with red filaments distributed inside. It is exactly the "Nirvana Phoenix Hairpin" given to him by the great elder before.
"Nirvana Phoenix Hairpin..."
Grandma Jinfeng and others recognized this object at a glance, their expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed.
And those around who didn't know what it was, when they felt the extremely pure Tianfeng blood contained in the Fengchai, they also realized the importance of this thing to the Tianfeng clan.
