"Yay!"
Hua Wen and Hua Wu shouted excitedly, gesturing wildly and displaying the demeanor of mentally challenged individuals.
Qiu Xiang frowned slightly, looking unwilling.
Madam Hua looked at Li Huan and changed the subject: "Of course, if Li Huan is willing to marry Qiu Xiang, I can give Qiu Xiang to you in marriage!"
Li Huan then said, "When Madam asked me to choose between Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, and Dongxiang that day, I made it clear that only children make choices; I want them all!"
“If Madam hadn’t played these tests of sincerity, Qiu Xiang would have already married Chun Xiang, Xia Xiang, and Dong Xiang and entered the bridal chamber with me.”
Qiu Xiang blushed slightly as she listened.
Madam Hua said, "I thought Tang Bohu was in love with Qiu Xiang, but I never expected that he couldn't accept that Qiu Xiang also loved playing finger-guessing games and mahjong."
Li Huan said, "I don't dislike women drinking, playing drinking games, or playing mahjong. It's just entertainment, as long as they don't become too addicted to it, I can completely understand!"
Madam Hua said, "Very well, today Qiu Xiang will marry you!"
Li Huan asked Tang Bohu, "Brother Tang, are you sure you won't regret it?"
Tang Bohu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Li Huan said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for stealing your love."
Tang Bohu said, "Brother Li, you flatter me. How can this be considered stealing someone else's love? I know that Qiu Xiang also admires you, respects your cooking skills and talent, and is also skilled in martial arts!"
Grand Tutor Hua hurriedly said, "Martial Arts Champion, get ready quickly! We'll have Li Huan and Qiu Xiang perform the wedding ceremony later!"
The martial arts champion chuckled and said, "Sir, I have a request."
Grand Tutor Hua asked, "What is your request? Please speak freely."
The martial arts champion said, "As everyone knows, Shiliu is my girlfriend, so I want to take advantage of Li Huan and Qiu Xiang's wedding to join in the fun and also get married to Shiliu!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Pomegranate tensed up more than two feet high and screamed shrilly.
"Martial Arts Champion, I haven't accepted your love yet, nor have I seen you propose to me. How can I marry you so hastily?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The martial arts champion hurriedly said, "In the entire Hua family, who doesn't know that you are my girlfriend, and who doesn't know that my love for you is as deep as the sea and as intense as the ocean?"
Sister Pomegranate looked smug: "Okay, I hereby officially announce that I accept your love."
Li Huan understood that Sister Pomegranate originally wanted to win him over, but seeing that he had married Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Dongxiang and Qiuxiang one after another, Sister Pomegranate completely gave up her greed and decided it was better to marry the martial arts champion who was the captain of the security team in Huafu.
The martial arts champion strode out of the hall, picked a rose from the courtyard, and returned to the hall.
He knelt on one knee, held up a rose, and said to Sister Pomegranate with a smile, "Pomegranate, will you marry me?"
Sister Pomegranate crossed her arms, struck a cute pose, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Are you proposing to me?"
Instantly, goosebumps rose on Li Huan's arms.
The martial arts champion said in a deep voice, "That's right, I'm proposing to you. Will you say yes?"
Sister Pomegranate fluttered her eyelashes, reached out to catch the rose, and said sweetly, "I promise!"
Sister Pomegranate was so beautiful that Li Huan almost strained his back.
Madam Hua said, "Very good! True love will prevail. Today is a day of double happiness. Li Huan and Qiu Xiang, the martial arts champion and Shi Liu, will be married together!"
Li Huan said, "Before the wedding ceremony, let's enjoy a wonderful show and see how Tang Bohu defeats the deadly scholar!"
...
The martial arts champion led his servants to carry the deadly scholar into the courtyard.
Li Huan, Grand Tutor Hua, and Madam Hua sat in armchairs, waiting to watch the play.
Qiu Xiang, Chun Xiang, Xia Xiang, Dong Xiang, Sister Shi Liu, Hua Wen, and Hua Wu are full of anticipation.
The Deadly Scholar remained motionless, his expression furious as he glared at Li Huan and Tang Bohu.
Li Huan said, "Deadly Scholar, I've crippled Prince Ning with a single punch and he's handed over one million taels of silver!"
The deadly scholar was shocked.
Is this really true?
Li Huan said, "This happened three days ago, and right now, you're the only one in the entire city of Suzhou who doesn't know about it."
The Deadly Scholar's brows furrowed, and disappointment was evident in his eyes.
Li Huan said, "Today, I'm giving you a chance to duel with Tang Bohu! If you defeat Tang Bohu, your Scholar's Deadly Sword will still remain firmly in second place on the weapon ranking, Tang Bohu's Overlord Spear will remain in third place, and Little Li's Flying Dagger will remain in fourth place."
Qiu Xiang asked curiously, "Who is number one on the weapons ranking?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "The first one is Little Li Flying Dagger's mother's flying dagger!"
Madam Hua hurriedly asked, "What weapons are you skilled at using?"
Li Huan said, "As a cook, I'm skilled at using a butcher's knife!"
Hahaha... Everyone burst into laughter.
Chunxiang said, "My husband's martial arts are unparalleled. In his hands, the butcher's knife will surely be able to cut through iron like mud and be invincible!"
Xia Xiang said, "In my opinion, my husband's pig-slaughtering knife should be ranked first on the weapons list!"
Li Huan said, "We'll have to ask Little Li Flying Dagger's mother if she's willing!"
Dongxiang said, "Husband, invite Little Li Flying Dagger's mother out for a duel!"
Li Huan suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "We'll discuss this another day. For now, let Tang Bohu and the Deadly Scholar duel to see whose weapon is more powerful!"
The Deadly Scholar said, "My pressure points have been sealed, how can I duel with Tang Bohu?"
Li Huan suddenly raised his hand and used the "Finger Flicking Divine Skill" to release the deadly scholar's pressure points from a distance.
Seeing Li Huan's incredible skill, the Deadly Scholar's eyes flashed with admiration.
Madam Hua said sternly, "Deadly scholar, behave yourself! If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame Li Huan for hitting your weak point and sending you to your death!"
The Deadly Scholar said, "Li Huan's martial arts are outrageously high. How dare I cause trouble in front of him?"
Li Huan smiled and said, "It's good that you know your place."
The Deadly Scholar proudly raised his head: "If I lose to Tang Bohu, I would rather commit suicide! If I win against Tang Bohu, can I leave the Grand Tutor's mansion?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "If you are skilled enough to defeat Tang Bohu, then of course you can leave."
The Deadly Scholar's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Li Huan said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
The scholar, overjoyed, quickly twisted his neck, shook his hands and feet, and loosened his muscles.
Where is my scholar's deadly sword?
Madam Hua ordered the martial arts champion to retrieve the scholar's deadly sword and hand it over to the scholar.
Grand Tutor Hua chuckled and said, "I'll be the dealer, betting on the outcome of the match between Tang Bohu and the Deadly Scholar. Who's going to place their bets?"
Hua Wen hurriedly said, "Father! I'll bet one hundred taels of silver on the Deadly Scholar to win!"
Hua Wu said, "I favor Tang Bohu and bet he will defeat the Deadly Scholar!"
In an instant, the martial arts champion, Sister Pomegranate, Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, and Dongxiang also joined the gambling game.
Some people bet on Tang Bohu, while others bet on the Deadly Scholar.
After a moment's thought, Qiu Xiang took out some loose silver from her purse: "I'll bet on the Deadly Scholar!"
