Capítulo 2158: Chapter 2157: The Groom Selection Begins, Murong Jiankong
“Greetings to the City Lord, Steward Zhou.”
Sikong Lian waved his hand and asked, “Is Young Master Xu still inside?”
“He’s been inside all along,” the guard replied.
“Since I went in, he hasn’t co out again.”
“Go inside and inform him that the City Lord wishes to see him,” Steward Zhou instructed.
The guard dared not hesitate and swiftly ran into the courtyard.
A mont later, the guard erged first, followed closely by Xu Zii strolling out leisurely.
Only to see Sikong Lian with hands behind his back, sizing up Xu Zii.
As Sikong Lian scrutinized Xu Zii, Xu Zii looked back lazily, having just woken up.
“Are you the husband my daughter chose herself?” Sikong Lian asked directly, without wasting any words.
“When did you two et?”
“If I say it was love at first sight, would the City Lord believe ?” Xu Zii chuckled.
“You better think carefully before answering ,” Sikong Lian said lightly.
“The City Lord should be asking Sikong Qing. I can’t say much; she knows better than I do,” Xu Zii replied.
“You’re not afraid of ,” Sikong Lian squinted slightly.
Xu Zii’s attitude and responses seed to disregard him entirely.
Just as Steward Zhou had said, this person was too composed.
Is he not afraid of death?
“Why should I fear you? Is falling in love supposed to be life-threatening?” Xu Zii laughed.
Sikong Lian frowned slightly.
He seed to be pondering, as Xu Zii gave him a very peculiar impression.
Leaving Sikong Lian sowhat puzzled.
But he did not waste any more words, instead saying, “You can marry Qing, but there is one condition.”
“In River Sun City, I am a regional overlord. My word once spoken cannot be taken back.”
“Now, all of River Sun City and even surrounding cities know I’m holding a groom selection.”
“If nothing happens and I just cancel the groom selection, that wouldn’t be appropriate.”
“The groom selection will continue, and if you wish to marry Qing, you must take first place.”
“If you cannot, don’t bla for breaking you two apart.”
“In all worldly affairs, cultivation is the essence,” Xu Zii replied.
“In so things, the process is more important than the outco.”
At this mont, a guard suddenly rushed over, flustered.
“City Lord, soone has arrived!”
“Who is it?” Sikong Lian frowned and asked.
The guard glanced at Xu Zii, then at Sikong Lian, cautiously saying, “It’s Murong Jiankong from Baori Sect.”
“Lord Murong?” Sikong Lian’s expression changed.
“What is he coming here now for?”
“Steward Zhou, you chat with him for a bit; I’ll go and have a look.”
Sikong Lian hurriedly walked outside.
anwhile, Steward Zhou entertained Xu Zii, briefly explaining the groom selection process.
Anyone could substantially join this groom selection.
As long as they were present in River Sun City.
However, the groom selection had two assessnts.
One requirent was virginity.
Which ant being unmarried and unwed—it sounded simple, but this one threshold was bound to stop ninety percent of people.
The second barrier is the ability to cultivate an ice attribute cultivation technique.
It sounds easy, doesn’t it?
But it still prevents ninety-nine percent of people.
Because this is the Blazing Fla Realm.
A world of the Fire Tribe.
People here loathe water and ice.
Any powers opposing flas are unwelco in this world.
As for those proactively cultivating ice attribute techniques, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Because under the ten suns of the Blazing Fla Realm, cultivating ice attributes is almost impossible.
Steward Zhou considered this a heads-up for Xu Zii.
Like having exam questions leaked beforehand.
“What’s Murong Jiankong’s background?” Xu Zii inquired.
He seed less interested in the assessnt.
“From Baori Sect,” Steward Zhou didn’t elaborate much, but ntioning Baori Sect was enough.
Baori Sect is a renowned power in the Blazing Fla Realm, and River Sun City is under its dominion.
Murong Jiankong holds high status even within Baori Sect, let alone here in River Sun City.
…
After explaining, Steward Zhou departed.
Since then, Xu Zii hasn’t seen Sikong Qing.
Actually, he could tell at a glance that Sikong Qing’s condition was unusual.
As part of the Fire Tribe, Sikong Qing was not friendly with flas, instead quite repelled by them.
Her body suffered an inversion of Yin and Yang, entering an atypical state.
Although Xu Zii hadn’t examined her closely, he knew this state was dangerous.
It seed that this groom selection’s true purpose was to heal Sikong Qing’s illness, rather than rely selecting a husband.
Xu Zii wasn’t sure what thod Sikong Lian planned to use, but that didn’t matter anymore.
…
The groom selection is set for tomorrow.
Tonight, River Sun City is bustling, filled with lights and colors, drawing throngs of people.
No one disturbed Xu Zii, until the next morning when guards ca specifically to call him.
The general idea was that the groom selection was starting soon, and Xu Zii would have no special privileges, urging him to arrive for the assessnt promptly.
Upon leaving the City Lord Mansion, although no one seed to accompany him openly.
Xu Zii could still sense a few people monitoring him covertly.
He strolled down the street with grandeur.
Encountering a packed crowd ahead.
Yet as Xu Zii moved, a peculiar force around him automatically pushed everyone aside.
He needed to do nothing, and others would be forced to the side.
So witnessing this saw Xu Zii as overbearing.
Directly sneering, they struck a palm toward Xu Zii.
With a “boom”.
Xu Zii remained impervious while the attacker was directly flung away.
This shifted the expressions of so, seeing Xu Zii as extraordinary.
As he walked, occasionally soone would attempt to assault him.
But none could approach him, as they all were repelled by the force surrounding Xu Zii.
In this manner, Xu Zii effortlessly arrived at the examination platform.
Prior to the assessnt, the City Lord Mansion had already disclosed the first requirent—virginity—to be assessed.
Montarily, many felt despair.
Yet so held onto the hope of slipping through.
Unfortunately, the City Lord Mansion had prepared thods to verify virginity.
Anyone found pretending was directly beaten up.
Despite such stringent demands, participants queued up long enough to nearly encircle River Sun City.
Upon arriving, Xu Zii directly cut in line.
The City Lord Mansion’s people said nothing.
Those cut in line could only swallow their wrath.
Because Xu Zii’s formidable strength was witnessed by all.
City Lord Sikong Lian sat at the foremost position.
On his left was Steward Zhou, and on his right, soone Xu Zii hadn’t t before.
Presumably, it was Murong Jiankong.
