Chapter 989 -
After Tang Rou arrived at the edge of the courtyard in Nanjiang City, she saw Xuan Er and others waiting there!"Is everything inside ready to start? Wasn't it supposed to be at noon?"
Tang Rou looked inside the courtyard, already filled with people, and asked with confusion.
"It's a private duel, a warm-up before the official Martial Arts Competition, agreed upon by Elder Li and Elder Wang!" Xuan Er also glanced back and then explained to Tang Rou.
"Elder Li and Elder Wang actually agreed to this? What if one side suffers casualties before the official competition, leading to a big fight? Who will oversee them?"
Tang Rou was enraged to hear that the two elders had agreed. Didn't they know the dangers of doing this?
"There's nothing I can do. Anyway, I'm just following orders to bring the brothers over to help you keep these guys in check!" Xuan Er pouted slightly, thinking that this was Dragon Scale's business, and besides, he couldn't beat those two elders to stop them!
"This is really troublesome. Please bring your brothers in with me. Just in case of an emergency, we can intervene in time!" Tang Rou knew what Xuan Er said was true, and not even she or anyone else here could make those two elders listen!
After all, those were honorary elders of Dragon Scale, on the same level as Yun Hao. She, a mere Outer Sect Minister of Dragon Scale, couldn't interfere!
Moreover, Tang Rou also knew there was a difference in strength between her and Elder Li and Elder Wang. She could only pray for no accidents to occur before Yun Hao arrived!
Tang Rou and Xuan Er entered the courtyard. At this moment, there were already three people standing on the platform. In the middle was an elderly man in his sixties, seemingly a judge, one of the honorary elders, Elder Li!
The other two were relatively young, about in their twenties!
"Thank goodness, it's just two weaker ones competing. If something happens, I can still handle it!" Seeing the strength of the two young men, Tang Rou breathed a long sigh of relief.
...
In Yun Hao's room, Yun Hao slowly opened his eyes, a trace of pale golden light flashing in his deep eyes, like a peerless sword, chilling and trembling!
"This Fourth Transition is indeed abnormal. I haven't broken through yet after replenishing so much Spiritual Power in the Jade Talisman, and with the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, I barely touched the threshold of the Fourth Transition. But even so, my strength has improved considerably!"
Muttering to himself, Yun Hao ran into the bathroom to wash up, and after finishing, he put on his clothes and came out to find Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi sitting on the sofa, looking at some documents!
"Are you done cultivating? How is it? Did you become powerful?" Chu Yan asked happily, throwing down the documents and leaping into Yun Hao's arms as soon as he came out!
"Of course, I've gotten stronger in that aspect too, dear wife. Want to give it a try?" Yun Hao hugged Chu Yan and asked with a mischievous smile.
"Hmph, who wants to do it with you? Go find Shishi!" Unprepared for Yun Hao's audacious words, Chu Yan blushed and wriggled free from his embrace, moving next to Zhao Shishi!
"Don't, you two can't always drag me down with you!" Zhao Shishi said, her heart racing awkwardly, as Yun Hao approached her.
"Little Shishi, aren't you going to give me a hug? Little Yan already did!" Yun Hao teased Zhao Shishi as he stood in front of her.
"Well...then I'll stand up to hug you!"
"No, just hug me like this!"
"No way, I won't hug you like that..."
Zhao Shishi resolutely refused. In their current positions, with one sitting and one standing, how awkward would it be if she hugged Yun Hao! And besides, with Chu Yan right there, hugging Yun Hao in that manner would be mortifying!
"Not hugging? Are you sure?" Yun Hao asked playfully again.
"Yun Hao... you're... bullying me!" Zhao Shishi was speechless. This guy was too irritating. How could he expect her to hug him in this position?
"You are unreasonable. Not hugging is fine, but how is it that I'm bullying you? Nonetheless, I am not one to hold grudges. Even if you accuse me, I'll still hug you!"
Yun Hao shamelessly babbled, then, taking Zhao Shishi by surprise, he wrapped an arm around her head and pulled her face close to his!
"Mmm..." Zhao Shishi struggled powerlessly, but in the next second, she stopped struggling altogether.
"Hey, Shishi, what are you frozen for? Are you savoring it?" As Zhao Shishi stood there stunned, Chu Yan's teasing voice filled her ears!
Zhao Shishi came to her senses and realized that only she and Chu Yan were left in the living room, with no sign of Yun Hao!
"Where's Yun Hao?"
"He's been gone for a minute. If you keep savoring it, Yun Hao might already be at Tang Rou's place!" Chu Yan quipped at Zhao Shishi.
"You're savoring! Stop saying that!" Zhao Shishi fumed at Yun Hao while glaring at Chu Yan angrily!
"I will keep saying it!"
"Stop it!"
...
"The Martial Arts Competition has officially begun. Remember to stop when necessary!" Elder Li announced loudly as he looked at the ones being carried away after the sparring match.
"Wait a minute!" Just as Elder Li finished speaking, a man's voice rang out. The crowd turned to see a foreigner who had come with Wallace from Germany!
"What can I do for you, sir?" Elder Li asked, frowning slightly as the man stood up.
"We think the method of this year's Martial Arts Competition should be changed!"
"How should it be changed?"
"Usually, matches are one-on-one, and everyone has to compete, which wastes a lot of time. This year, each faction can send only one representative for random challenges, and the last one standing is the winner. How about that?"
The German seemed to have planned this long ago and spoke eloquently after hearing Elder Li's words!
"Agreed!"
"That method sounds good!"
"Yes, it saves time, and after the fight, I still want to go find some fun!"
...
With surrounding voices that supported the proposal, Elder Li stood hesitantly, unable to decide on the spot!
