The next morning.

In a remote manor near the imperial capital.

On the villa in the center hangs a sign that reads "Sun Family".

This is one of the hidden families in the imperial capital, and also Sun Ao Shi’s former home, the Sun family!

In Shanghai, the Xu family is undoubtedly the largest hidden family.

But when it comes to the biggest family in the imperial capital... the Sun family can only be said to be one of the strong competitors.

If Sun Ao Shi was still in the Sun family, the title of the strongest hidden family would undoubtedly belong to the Sun family.

But right now… no one can tell whether the Sun family is still as prosperous as it used to be.

After all, if that old man Sun had not participated in the Huashan Forum this time, he would have disappeared from the public eye for a full ten years.

But according to rumors, Sun Ao Shi is not dead.

Instead, choose a place far away from the world and live in seclusion.

But if the Sun family really encounters a disaster that could lead to its destruction, Grandpa Sun will definitely take action!

That is why, even though everyone speculated that Sun Ao Shi might fail in his promotion to Grand Master, no one dared to replace the Sun family!

Nowadays, the head of the Sun family has been taken over by Sun Ao Shi’s son Sun Chuanxiong.

This year, Sun Chuanxiong will lead the current generation of his family to attend the Huashan Taoist Conference.

For some small families, the Huashan Discussion Forum may just be an opportunity for them to get acquainted with the big families and listen to the masters of those big families explain the mysteries of martial arts.

But from the perspective of a big family...it's far from that simple.

Because the younger generations brought by the head of the family personally will allow people to see the family's heritage and, to a large extent, will also witness the family's future.

Including discussions and even competitions between masters, people can see the strength of the contemporary family patriarch!

This will undoubtedly be linked to the rankings between families.

Sun Chuanxiong naturally wanted to continue the glory of his family, but he also knew that no one was willing to be inferior to other families forever.

For a powerful hidden family, ranking is the only thing they need to fight for, as it concerns the family's reputation and the resources they will have in the future!

In the lobby of the Sun family.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

"Patriarch, don't worry, we will definitely not bring shame to the Sun family this time!"

"If there is a chance to fight, I will be the first to go!" a young man said.

Sun Chuanxiong waved his hand slightly, "Last night, I heard some rumors that the Xu family in Jiangnan Shanghai City is going to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and it is none other than Xu Jiansheng's eldest granddaughter Xu Wanqing."

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

The eyes of this generation of Sun family suddenly lit up, including Sun Chuanxiong's son, Sun Ao Shi's grandson, and Sun Xiangyu!

They have heard too much about Xu Wanqing's name!

A martial arts competition to win a bride... Doesn't it mean that whoever has the strength this time will be able to marry that woman Xu Wanqing?

And that’s not all!

If they really succeed, it will bring endless glory to the family!

The Xu family's decision was exactly what they wanted to see.

It is said to be a martial arts competition to win a bride, but it will also allow the younger generation to compete in a reasonable way!

In the ancient martial arts world, who wouldn’t want to marry that genius girl?

The sense of accomplishment that comes from conquering a little wild cat is much greater than directly finding a well-behaved and sensible girl.

Even if it's just for fame, I will still participate in this competition to win a bride!

…

In the opposite direction of the Sun family.

Xue family in the imperial capital.

It is also the most competitive family among the first hidden families in the imperial capital.

It’s just a pity that the most talented person of this generation of the Xue family, which has been suppressed by the Sun family for decades, is actually the eldest daughter of the Xue family, Xue Yu.

However, Xue Yu's talent was not known to outsiders like the Xu family.

Because Xue Yu also has a marriage contract.

Although Xue Yu also devoted himself to martial arts, he was not exactly the same as Xu Wanqing.

She doesn't admire the strong.

She didn't even think of leaving the family and marrying an outsider.

A few years ago, my grandfather met someone while traveling and actually agreed to the marriage.

Regarding this...

Xue Yu didn't care, especially since she was very satisfied with her fiancé's performance.

He has never come to Xue's house to look for me in these years.

And this time at the Huashan Forum, she will also become a dark horse and complete the mission assigned to her by her family!

Help the Xue family to become the strongest family in the imperial capital and even in the northern hidden family!

In the Xue family lobby.

The atmosphere is completely different from that of the Sun family.

The Sun family was very serious about the Huashan Forum, but the Xue family was very relaxed.

This is somewhat related to the news just mentioned by the head of the family, Xue Yuanlong.

The Xu family in Jiangnan is going to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride!

Naturally, the Sun family would fight for it once.

But the Xue family... is powerless.

The three generations of the Xue family were really no match for Sun Xiangyu.

Although his father Sun Chuanxiong's talent is indeed not that good and he only reached the Grandmaster level at the age of fifty, but who can blame him for having a good father?

But this Sun Xiangyu is not like that!

Not only is he a generation apart from Sun Ao Shi and has been taught by a master since childhood, he has also inherited Sun Ao Shi's talent to a great extent!

He is a peerless genius who has the potential to become a master at the age of thirty!

It is still unclear what the strength of Xu Wanqing from the Jiangnan Xu family is.

But little did they know…

Although Xue Yu is only 25 years old, he is already one step away from becoming a master.

Who doesn’t know how to blow?

But it may take ten or twenty years for a master to reach the final step!

Didn’t Sun Chuanxiong also reach the final stage of his career at the age of 30?

But it took him twenty years to overcome this hurdle!

This time, the news that the Jiangnan Xu family was going to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride reached the Xue family, and it was obvious that the Xue family had their minds set on it...

Naturally, the Xue family was unwilling to marry Xue Yu off!

But if we set up a competition arena at a place like the Huashan Forum... to recruit a son-in-law, probably no one would participate, right?

Then it will be the Xue family that will be embarrassed.

The lively atmosphere at this moment is because everyone is discussing this topic.

How to make Xue Yu a dark horse, or even better, defeat Sun Chuanxiong in person, is what the Xue family has to do this time!

Mr. Xue's ears were almost callused from listening to this, but he still couldn't find a useful solution.

The idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law was proposed by his own son...

"Youngsters, please speak too." Old Master Xue couldn't help but shook his head.

"How about...let the eldest sister also participate in this martial arts competition to win a husband?" someone whispered.

As soon as these words came out.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

A woman goes to participate in another woman's martial arts competition to win a husband?

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

But it’s a good idea!

Swish, swish, swish!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the young man's face, which made him panic.

Mr. Xue's eyes also lit up, and he kept saying, "Tell me! How can I participate legitimately?"

"Don't be afraid, just say whatever you think." Mr. Xue said with a smile.

The young man opened his mouth. He just said that. After holding it in for a long time, he glanced at Xue Yu weakly. When he saw her nod, he said with difficulty: "How about... just say that my elder sister is a lesbian..."

"How shameful!"

"no!"

"Absolutely not! Even if Xiaoyu wins in the end, where will the face of our Xue family be! How can the Xu family let Xu Wanqing marry Xiaoyu!"

“…”

Xue Yu also frowned, and it was obvious that she was also very resistant to having such a reputation.

"How about letting the elder sister dress up as a man? Then when she wins in the end, she can just make amends, right?" another young man whispered.
