Everyone watched the competition below.
As the martial arts contest moved into the later stages, those who stepped onto the stage naturally beca stronger.
And the number of people seated in Penglai Pavilion also increased.
Xu Zii saw the Wang Family, Lu Family, and Zhuo Family, arriving one after another.
They are the three major families of Shenghai City.
Their power is second only to the Dragon City Lord.
However, because they lack historical accumulation, their strength is just so-so.
This ti, all three families have young generations participating in the martial arts contest, so it's understandable that they all ca to watch the fights.
After all, the Dragon City Lord's daughter is quite the catch now.
Not only does she have a City Lord father, but also a Saint as her master.
No one in Shenghai City dares to compete with her background.
So everyone holds the principle: if you can't beat her, join her.
The aim is to win the contest and be with the City Lord's daughter.
...
"Look at those two in the contest, who do you think will win?" Shangguan Xian asked, bored.
"The kid in yellow clothes," Xu Zii said.
"Their levels are about the sa, but the yellow-clothed one has a more solid foundation."
Just as Xu Zii finished speaking, the outco was already decided in the center of the stage.
Both were badly injured.
However, the one in yellow struggled to stand up and remained standing till the end.
While the two were talking, a staff mber suddenly ca over.
The staff mber was carrying a tray of pastries.
The pastries were made very delicately, with each small figure vividly crafted.
"These are our Penglai Pavilion's specialty, the Eight Immortals Crisp Cake, the lady can give them a try," the staff mber said with a smile.
Xu Zii originally wanted to try them too.
But the staff mber stopped him.
"Sir, these pastries are a gift from that gentleman over there to this lady," the staff mber said with an apologetic smile.
"If you want so, I can get you another serving."
Xu Zii turned his head and followed the staff mber's gaze.
Only to see the far right, which was the Wang Family's spot.
A man with a white jade crown, dressed in a white robe, was looking over.
Smiling, he nodded at Xu Zii.
"Beauty is a bane," Xu Zii laughed.
He said, "Looks like soone has taken a liking to you."
"What's wrong? Regretting bringing along?" Shangguan Xian asked with a smile.
"Not exactly regretting, but you handle the trouble you attract yourself," Xu Zii replied.
He crossed his legs and smiled at the staff mber, "I'll have one serving of your specialties too."
"Please wait a mont," the staff mber nodded quickly.
He handed the pastries to Shangguan Xian.
Shangguan Xian shook her head slightly and replied, "I don't eat things from strangers.
Please return them to that gentleman, I don't know him either."
As Shangguan Xian was speaking, the man had already stood up and was slowly walking over.
"All relationships start with strangers, don't they?
Not knowing isn't an issue," the man smiled and said.
"I'm Wang Xian, the Great Young Master of the Wang Family.
May I know the na of the lady?"
"Shangguan Xian," Shangguan Xian replied calmly.
"The lady seems not to be from Shenghai City.
No such beauty has ever erged from this city," the man joked.
"I ca to visit on the recomndation of a friend," Shangguan Xian nodded and said.
"Oh, may I know this gentleman's na?"
The man appeared very friendly, actively greeting Xu Zii.
"My surna is Xu," Xu Zii smiled and said.
"Why didn't Young Master Wang participate in the martial arts contest?"
Wang Xian shook his head with a smile and sat down nearby.
"Everyone wants to marry Long Wulin, but for , power is not my pursuit.
Long Wulin is not my match either."
Wang Xian looked at Shangguan Xian and smiled, "Is Miss Shangguan planning to settle here for a while, or will you leave soon?"
"I'm not sure, we'll see," Shangguan Xian said.
"Shenghai City is also my ho.
No matter what, I can still extend so local hospitality," Wang Xian smiled.
"My Wang Family has so influence in Shenghai City too.
You two can stay at my Wang Family, and I can assist with any issues."
"No need," Shangguan Xian shook her head.
"We are used to wandering freely, I can't accept the hospitality."
As they were chatting, another group of people approached from not far away.
"Wang Xian," soone shouted the man's na.
They turned to look and saw the group just arriving on the sixteenth floor, walking towards them.
The clothes of this group suggested they were from the Lu Family and Zhuo Family.
"Wang Xian, flirting again," said a young man in a blue robe with a sowhat roguish manner.
"Zhuo Yuan, what are you talking about," Wang Xian's expression changed slightly, glaring at him.
Then he turned back, smiling, and said, "Let introduce, these are my friends.
Zhuo Yuan from the Zhuo Family, and Lu Ming from the Lu Family."
As for the people behind them, Wang Xian did not introduce them.
They were probably insignificant.
Shangguan Xian nodded slightly, as a form of greeting.
"Wang Xian, seems like they have a sweetheart already," Zhuo Yuan glanced at Xu Zii, teasing.
"If you can't speak properly, you might as well keep quiet," Wang Xian scolded.
Even Shangguan Xian's face turned sowhat displeased.
After all, the term "sweetheart" doesn't have the best connotations.
"What?" Zhuo Yuan didn't care, instead he laughed.
"Wang Xian, I say, with the power of your Wang Family, you can have any woman you want.
Why not just take her? Why waste ti."
Upon hearing Zhuo Yuan's words, before Wang Xian could respond, Shangguan Xian couldn't help it.
"Do you know you are quite an eyesore standing here?
You even make feel sick," Shangguan Xian said coolly.
"You know those lap dogs? Ignored by others, yet keep trying to get closer."
"Little girl, don't think just because Wang Xian is here, I won't dare to move you.
He can't protect you," Zhuo Yuan's smile faded, and a dangerous aura began to spread.
"I'm not familiar with him, but if you keep spouting nonsense.
I don't mind cutting off your mouth," Shangguan Xian responded.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yuan surprisingly laughed.
"Wang Xian, did you hear?
They're not familiar with you, so you shouldn't interfere in this matter."
He waved his hand, and instantly the group from Zhuo Family surrounded them.
Encircling Shangguan Xian completely.
Zhuo Yuan looked at Wang Xian provocatively and said, "Watch how I handle this girl for you.
Take her down for ."
Zhuo Yuan originally joined the contest but ended up losing.
Now he vented his anger here.
Facing the encircling Zhuo Family servants, Shangguan Xian snorted coldly.
Immortal Spirit Fire burned in her hands.
Centered around her, the fla exploded.
All the servants surrounding were blown away.
