"I heard that Shi Lan, the young master of Canglan Pavilion, will be there."

"He's the number one young master in the martial arts world, and it's said he has the appearance of an immortal. I'm really looking forward to it."

…

The servant in the carriage scoffed at the discussion outside, saying, "He's just a defeated opponent of our young master, and he's not even as good-looking as him. What's there to be proud of?"

"Don't talk nonsense," another servant said, stopping his younger brother from speaking carelessly.

Hearing his brother's words, the servant snorted indignantly.

At this very moment, the young master they were talking about was resting with his eyes closed. His exquisite and beautiful face was so striking that just one glance would make anyone blush, their heart race, and their breathing quicken.

His features were fair and delicate, so beautiful that he didn't look like a martial artist at all. Most martial artists have rough and dark skin, but he looked like a pampered young master.

Just as everyone was discussing, two voices rang out.

"The young master of Canglan Pavilion has arrived."

"The young master of Linjing Pavilion has arrived."

When the two companies appeared together, the previously quiet crowd suddenly started discussing again.

It must be said that Canglan Pavilion and Linjing Pavilion were originally one family, but unfortunately they went down different paths.

Canglan Pavilion was originally founded by two brothers who learned martial arts together from a young age under the same master. Later, they made a name for themselves in the martial arts world and founded Canglan Pavilion.

However, they later had different views on martial arts, and the younger brother left Canglan Pavilion to establish Linjing Pavilion. For the past hundred years, the descendants of the two families have been competing with each other.

However, for some unknown reason, Linjing Pavilion established a new sect headquarters in Linhai, and gradually they learned less and less about Linjing Pavilion.

It's said that although the two families have been competing, they are ultimately related by blood and still maintain contact in private. But they don't know the specifics; they can only hear rumors.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Shi Lan, the young master of Canglan Pavilion, while less attention was paid to Linjing Pavilion, especially to the female knight.

Most girls focus their attention on Shi Lan because he is the number one young master and the number one handsome man in the martial arts world.

She was stunningly beautiful, had an upright posture, and possessed exceptional swordsmanship.

Of course, he was also curious about the young master of Linjing Pavilion, whom he had never met before. However, the person who left the carriage looked completely different from the one who had been in the carriage.

He had fairly standard facial features, but he wouldn't be considered a top-tier handsome man in the martial arts world. He had a tall and slender figure, and his physique was quite good, but his looks were rather average. When he stood next to Shi Lan, he looked much more ordinary.

The servant beside him gritted his teeth. The young master said he disguised himself to avoid unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, with the young master's appearance, what business would Shi Lan have here?

The martial arts alliance leader, seated in the main seat, cleared his throat and then said, "Now that Canglan Pavilion and Linjing Pavilion have arrived, I hereby declare the martial arts tournament officially open."

…

Amidst the heated fighting on the arena, no one noticed that on a rooftop not far away, a woman holding a wine jug lay on the roof, glancing indifferently at the people fighting on the arena below.

One glance was enough to tell them their entire strategy, so he lost interest and continued drinking the wine from the jug in one gulp.

Finally, the people on the rooftop heard: "Next up is the young master of Canglan Pavilion versus the young master of Linjing Pavilion."
