The young man was shy and everyone was speechless, not knowing how to answer the question.
Lost, is this the reason why he is late?
Zhong Li raised his head excitedly, and when he saw Luo Chen, he felt as if he had lost something and found it again.
"This brat."
Zhong Xianer breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious heart finally calmed down. No matter what, she should first deal with the challenge before her.
"Um?"
On the first seat, Li Tian frowned. Luo Chen was too handsome, and his name was not very good these days. As the young master of Licheng, he had naturally heard of him, but he didn't expect him to be so young.
.
"The Zhong family has gone too far."
When Li Tian opened his mouth, he obviously thought that the Zhong family was perfunctory. After all, the ten preliminary spots had been approved by the Zhong family in advance. In his opinion, Luo Chen was not qualified enough.
"Let's get started. Tonight's martial arts fight is just a sparring match. No heavy blows are allowed until the point is reached."
Li Tian glanced at Luo Chen lightly before speaking.
He once again made an invitation gesture towards Luo Chen, but he saw Luo Chen nodded, said a good word, and passed by the young man directly, and walked to the banquet table on the left, next to Zhong Li
Sat down.
In the main hall, everyone was going crazy. Zhong Xianer put a hand on his forehead and almost spit out the fruit wine that reached his mouth, choking and coughing violently.
"Asshole! Where have you been?"
Zhong Li's eyes were red, and there was moisture in his beautiful eyes. He just looked at Luo Chen and glared at him, almost beating him.
"I...I'm really lost."
Luo Chen blamed himself, took Zhong Li's hand and said innocently.
"Let me go."
She felt angry and a little aggrieved. This idiot was so angry! She was obviously doing it for his own good, but she doubted herself.
Luo Chen didn't let go and hugged him tighter, shamelessly.
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone looked at her collectively, feeling extremely speechless. At this time, even Zhong Xian'er couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed lightly on the side, signaling the two of them to restrain themselves.
"Sister Zhong Li, I was wrong."
However, the two of them were still flirting and flirting at this time, as if they were treating the people around them as nothing.
"That's enough! Luo Chen, get over here and die!"
Young Beichen was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Even his best demeanor and patience were completely worn out at this moment.
Bastard! Damn it! What does this bastard think of himself? Air? What a bastard! How abominable!
Roaring angrily, he came to challenge, not to be insulted! However, at this time, he was like a clown who had been acting and directing for so long.
Luo Chen raised his head in confusion, and then he realized that everyone around him was looking at him.
"You know me?"
Poof~
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless again. The young man was so angry that he pointed a finger at Luo Chen. He choked out a mouthful of blood without even taking a breath. He spurted it out on the spot and fell to the ground.
"What does this guy do? Is he sick?"
Looking at the young man's fallen body, Luo Chen was even more stunned. He stepped forward to check it out, and then said: "It turns out that it was an upwelling of blood caused by anger attacking the heart. At a young age, he didn't know how to cultivate his moral character.
,What are you doing with such a big temper?"
He murmured and spoke like this.
"Shameless!"
Some people can't help it anymore. Did this guy do it on purpose? I've heard for a long time that Luo Chen is hateful, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless. Isn't it good that he is obviously angry with you?
"Who is he? What is his relationship with Miss Zhong?"
The commoner boy frowned. When Luo Chen took Zhong Li's hand earlier, a cold air had already emitted from his body.
"I don't know, but it seems like they are closely related."
The young man opened his mouth and said casually.
"That is the future young lady of the Ge family, so brave!"
The commoner boy stood up. The young man was startled. What is this little ancestor going to do?
Mo Cheng's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he stood up from his seat at this time.
"What a shameless guy. He really lost his skin."
A girl spoke and stood up.
"I feel ashamed to be dining with such a guy at the government banquet!"
Another member of the aristocratic family stood up and faced Luo Chen.
"So what if you have some strength while practicing this way? As I said before, if you avoid fighting, I, Wei Hao, will be ashamed to be with you!"
Wei Hao also stood up.
In an instant, dozens of figures stood up and their eyes fell on Luo Chen at the same time. This is so hateful!
"What are you doing?"
With his eyes focused, Luo Chen looked back and found that someone was staring at him from behind.
"Lu Feng, three-star fighting spirit master, please give me some advice!"
"Wang Wen, three-star fighting spirit master, please give me some advice!"
"Sun Xintong, three-star fighting spirit master, please give me your advice!"
…
"Wei Hao, three-star fighting spirit master, please give me some advice!"
A series of challenges, one after another stood up at the same time, with only one target, Luo Chen, who was still confused. Sitting at the head of the main hall, Li Tian was caught off guard by this sudden scene. With so many people challenging one person at the same time, this was unprecedented in previous competitions.
This has never happened before at a government banquet.
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight?"
Luo Chen looked around and counted, no more, no less, exactly sixty-six people.
Although he was a little confused about the situation, he was naturally very angry because he was targeted for no apparent reason. The soul power in his body had been restored to nearly 70% by the constant devouring of fighting spirits.
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, pointed at a young girl, and said, "Bullying others by relying on a large number of people? Fighting on wheels? It's up to you. Come out."
Luo Chen pointed at the girl. Previously, the girl had signed up for her name and cultivation level. Luo Chen learned that this girl was actually a direct descendant of the Wei family, one of the five major families in the royal city. Her name was Wei Xiaoxiao, and she was the same age as him.
But he has the strength of a two-star fighting spirit master and has excellent talent.
When the challenging geniuses around saw Luo Chen pointing at Wei Xiaoxiao, they were stunned for a moment, and then they started to yell curses.
Wei Hao's face turned pale, because the girl was none other than his sister.
He knew more or less about Luo Chen's strength. Although he looked down upon his behavior, he also understood that Wei Xiaoxiao was definitely no match for him.
"Let me do it."
Lu Feng said, as one of the top ten candidates for the Royal City Competition, he naturally has a certain weight.
"I am Lu Feng, the young master of the Lu family."
"I don't know."
Everyone: "..."
Lu Feng frowned. He had heard of Luo Chen's name, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of him. At this time, he choked on the word Luo Chen, and naturally he felt angry in his heart.
This "I don't know you" undoubtedly slapped him hard in public.
"Haha, my Lu family is only a third-rate family in Licheng, so naturally I can't get into the eyes of Mr. Luo. With the support of the Zhong family, Mr. Luo easily won the spot in the competition and became one of the most popular people in Licheng. Naturally, he won't treat me
Such a small person should be taken into consideration."
Lu Feng sneered. His words seemed flattering, but in fact they were sarcastic! Not only did he imply that Luo Chen was arrogant and rude, but he also mocked the entire Zhong family.
Zhong Xian'er's face looked a little unsightly. These days, the Zhong family's reputation has plummeted and suffered a huge impact. She was fine on weekdays, but now being accused in public has obviously touched the bottom line in her heart.
Over the years, she has always made it her mission to revitalize the family and restore it to its former glory. Although the Zhong family has been in decline over the years, she has always worked hard for this. But now the Zhong family is not only falling apart, but its reputation has plummeted!
"Are you mocking my Zhong family's behind-the-scenes operations, or are you accusing me of my Zhong family's incompetence?"
Zhong Xianer was furious and looked at Lu Feng. With just one glance, Lu Feng almost fell to his knees and broke out in a cold sweat.
On the first seat, Li Tian frowned, feeling the aura Zhong Xian'er exuded at this time, and was also surprised. Although the Zhong family has declined, the eldest lady of the Zhong family is actually a real genius!
In that royal city competition that year, if the nine royal cities had not deliberately targeted Licheng, Licheng would have turned around long ago. He still admired and respected Zhong Xianer very much, and naturally he also had some admiration for her.
"Haha... The Zhong family really seems to have a good posture. Why, are they planning to use their strength to overwhelm others?"
"The Zhong family is really getting worse from generation to generation."
"It's just a declining aristocratic family. Even if it's proud, it has to be different depending on the occasion. And as the Zhong family is one of the leaders of this royal city competition, isn't it a bit too much to use their power to suppress others in public like this?"
…
When some aristocratic families opened their mouths, their intention was very strong! When the ten quotas were first selected, many aristocratic families tried to get a spot with heavy gifts, but they were rejected and they always held a grudge.
The head of the Bai family who was present also wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"The Zhong family has indeed gone too far. They have been very domineering recently. I suggest that the Zhong family should be excluded from this royal city competition, and the two quotas occupied by the Zhong family should also be given up to allow more powerful people.
The talents of the younger generation can take the lead. If you keep doing this, you may lose a little more honorably and won't be ridiculed by the people in the major royal cities."
"Yes, this statement is very reasonable. It is said that the Zhong family has used the reputation of the Liu family in the imperial city to provoke aristocratic families everywhere in the past few days. I don't know what despicable means they have used to assassinate the direct descendants of the two major aristocratic families."
"I have also heard about this matter. It seems that this matter is closely related to this young man named Luo Chen. Head Bai and Xu, don't you want to say a few words?"
Encouraged by the aristocratic family, the head of the Bai family looked a little unhappy and just snorted coldly.
The face of the head of the Xu family is unusually calm. A direct descendant of the Xu family has also died. However, the Xu family has not expressed the slightest expression in the past few days, let alone any extreme behavior. When someone mentioned it at this time, he still remained calm and composed.
"Do I still need you to remind me whether anyone in the Xu family has died? Are you a bit too much of a dog and a mouse to meddle in other people's business? Or you are so full that you have nothing to do, so you can talk to my Xu family here, okay?
