Eighteen years ago, Chu Xiafeng defeated Lin Tongchen here. Eighteen years later, he set up a tight net under the pretext of a martial arts competition to win a bride, waiting for the leader of Tongtian Sect to come.
That was all Bu Tiange knew. What was the connection between the two events? The system didn't tell her.
Even if she had doubts, the Imperial Master Qing Xuan was dressed elegantly in white and always carried a paper fan with him. Not only did he not resemble the young and frivolous Tian Ya Yidao, his appearance and age did not match either.
Who could believe her if she rashly asserted that Lin Tongchen was Qing Xuan?
No rush, she will know the answer tomorrow.
Bu Tiange stepped on the branches and disappeared among the mountains.
The next day.
Her Majesty the Empress fell ill as soon as she said she would, and all the civil and military officials in the capital were in chaos, but the city of Bianjing was more lively than ever in the past 18 years.
It was still early and the arena was already surrounded by people.
There is a pavilion standing on the hillside. Chu Xiangyu, the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world, is sitting high in it, dressed in goose yellow clothes. Her graceful figure makes all the heroes fascinated.
When the time came, the martial arts competition began with the sound of drums.
The sword light cut through the sky, and a man in brown robes jumped onto the stage to the beat of drums.
He clasped his fists towards the audience, his eyes firm and his voice as loud as a bell.
"I, Chu, would like to thank you all in advance for coming from afar to participate in the martial arts competition I have set up."
The knights all returned the greetings, "Alliance Leader Chu, you are so polite."
Chu Xiafeng said, "I will not elaborate on the rules of the martial arts competition. As for the outcome, I will leave it to my daughter Xiangyu's wishes."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Chu Xiangyu who was sitting in the mountain pavilion.
Chu Xiangyu nodded to them, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly behind her veil, which made people feel mesmerized.
Chu Xiafeng put away his sword and announced in a deep voice, "Now, let's begin."
Following his command, all the knights were eager to try. Among the crowds, a black figure looked particularly thin.
Even in such a crowded crowd, Bu Tiange still wore a veil. No matter how noisy and frenzied the surroundings were, she remained calm as water.
After announcing the start, Chu Xiafeng retreated to the side of the ring, holding his sword in both hands, and watched every challenger who came on stage.
Eighteen years have not spared him easily. Autumn frost has crept up his once black temples. As he enters middle age, he has become more stable.
Sensing an unusual gaze staring at him, Chu Xiafeng looked up alertly and looked in the direction of the gaze.
Bu Tiange withdrew his gaze and pulled the brim of his hat down further.
People kept coming up to challenge, the winners won cheers, and the losers were kicked off the stage.
Anyone who could win Miss Xiangyu's smile by chance would be honored.
It was past noon, the sun was setting, and the number of people waiting under the ring was decreasing.
The fighter right now is a burly man wielding two swords. Although he has great brute force, he has a simple mind.
However, with his brute force that could shake mountains and earth, he had defeated many young talents with his double swords, and he was considered the champion who had defended the title the longest so far.
Bu Tiange was calm and waited for the situation to develop.
After defeating another challenger, the man with two swords became even more arrogant. He gathered all his energy and roared, his voice shaking the whole area.
"Who else?!"
The people in the audience became anxious.
We can't let such a rough guy marry Miss Xiangyu!
At this time, a black shadow stepped onto the stage.
The man drew his sword, raised his chin slightly, and his black eyes blazed behind his veil.
The big man shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Bu Tiange walked slowly to the center of the arena and said calmly, "I am originally a nameless person, so why should I reveal my name?"
The big man asked, "Why don't you dare show your face to others?"
Bu Tiange raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at the big man in the distance. The cold light on the tip of the sword was like his eyes.
"Because... you are not worthy of seeing my true face."
