The voice came from a woman not far away.
The woman must have been over seventy, but she looked much better than the great wizard.
The woman approached slowly with steady steps, and looked everyone up and down.
That look in his eyes was full of arrogance.
The high wizard also put away the smile that had been on his face, and said with a serious expression:
"Wen Xia, what? Do I need to teach you the rules of Miao territory?"
"You dare not bow before this great wizard? Are you trying to break the rules?"
Wen Xia's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she became gloomy in an instant.
Reluctantly bowing, he gritted his teeth and uttered a few words:
"Great Wizard, I am well. Wenxia greets you!"
These words were practically chewed up in her mouth.
After saying that, he straightened up, glared fiercely at the great wizard, and with a flick of his sleeve, walked away into the distance.
The great wizard watched Wen Xia's departing figure and sneered twice: "Hmph, you want to fight me? Then wait until the day I die."
After saying that, he led the way into the meeting room.
The great wizard arrived at a high platform in the hall, where a chair was placed.
The great wizard walked straight to the chair, turned around, and slowly sat down.
At this moment, everyone in the square fell silent.
The priestess Yun Tao sat down in a chair next to the great wizard.
Further down were some unfamiliar faces, presumably people of some status or position here.
The old woman named Wenxia sat on a chair not far from the great wizard's feet.
This also proves the difference in their social status.
Wen Xia's face was full of disdain; she seemed determined to win today's match.
Sitting next to her was a woman with a very alluring appearance, her eyes and brows exuding a seductive charm.
I dare say that this woman's attire, combined with the aura she exudes, is absolutely the type of woman men find most attractive.
I turned to Wu Shi and asked, "Hey, look at the woman next to that old lady."
"How does he/she look?"
Upon hearing my words, Wu Shi also turned his gaze to the woman and said thoughtfully, "This woman is quite good-looking, but her complexion is not very good."
“Even from a distance, I could sense her sickness. This woman has an overwhelming amount of malevolent energy, which seems to be related to her years of using her body to raise Gu poison.”
"Presumably, she is the Wen Fangxue that Old Wizard Liu mentioned."
I rolled my eyes at Wu Shi: "I told you to look at her face, not that you were asked to treat her."
"Then tell me, which of us is prettier?"
I said it with a slightly provocative tone.
I'm curious to see what this straight man can come up with.
Wu Shi frowned slightly and looked at me with a strange expression: "Are you setting a trap for me?"
"Of course, my wife is the most beautiful."
I was quite pleased to hear that, after all, what woman doesn't like to hear her husband praise her beauty?
But now that we have nothing else to do, it's good to tease him a little.
"Then tell me, what's wrong with her being pretty?"
"What's so pretty about me?"
I thought that if I acted unreasonably, Wu Shi would punish me, but I didn't expect him to answer me so seriously.
"First of all, you are my wife. No matter how beautiful the other person is, you are the most beautiful in my heart."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; you don't need to compare yourself to others.
"Secondly, no matter what other women look like, it has nothing to do with me, because having you is enough for me."
I stared in disbelief at the man in front of me; I never expected to hear such an answer from him.
After hearing what he said, I felt a little embarrassed.
I nudged him with my elbow: "Hey, there are so many people here, I was just teasing you out of boredom, I didn't expect you to take it so seriously."
"However, I am satisfied with the answer."
"You know what? It all feels like a dream. This is a completely different life from campus. I never thought that one day, these would become my memories."
"Phew~"
I let out a long breath
"This feeling is amazing, and my life has meaning now."
Wu Shi put his hand on my shoulder, but didn't say anything more.
At this moment, a woman stood in front of the crowd on the platform, took out a microphone, and began to speak to the audience:
"Gentlemen, please keep quiet!"
"The way of Heaven changes, and Yin and Yang alternate."
"I'm sure you all understand the purpose of this competition."
"This competition is a battle for the title of Grand Wizard initiated by Wen Xia, the head of the Wen family."
"And the witch-competition battle with Wen Fangxue, the head of the Wenxia family."
"This competition is about the selection of the future Grand Wizard of our Miao region."
"The Great Wizard is of vital importance to the Miao region; he is the one who can lead our Miao region to greater heights."
"The competition consists of three rounds!"
"The first match: The battle for the position of Grand Wizard."
"As a high-ranking shaman of Miao territory, one must possess formidable strength!"
"Only by using strong and effective methods can we gain the trust of the people and make them willing to follow us wholeheartedly!"
"It is also the face of our Miao region!"
"In literature, there is no first place; in martial arts, there is no second. The difference in strength will be clear after a single comparison!"
At this point, Wen Xia's expression unconsciously turned smug.
He looked as if he had become a great wizard.
