Chapter 20 Challenge
She had to sigh, never underestimate women's enthusiasm for gossip!
She just asked Aunt Yu to spread what happened in front of the mansion that day.
She was very satisfied with the result.
She raised her voice and looked at Gu Yaoyao, who was speechless, and said, "Second sister, do you want to change? If you do, then this ceremony can be considered as one for me and the Third Prince."
Gu Yaoyao looked at her eager expression, as if if she dared to agree, she would dare to change her clothes and hold an engagement ceremony with the Third Prince.
She was so angry that she couldn't speak without thinking. "Impossible. You ugly thing want to marry the Third Prince? Consider whether your face is worthy of him."
"Oh, that's what you said. If you don't want to exchange it, don't think about my armor!" Gu Liyue said coldly with a gloomy face.
Gu Yaoyao was so angry that her teeth were itching, but there was nothing she could do.
She also heard everyone's discussion. Although strength is respected, she couldn't ignore her own reputation and that of the Gu family. Otherwise, the head of the family would not forgive her.
At this time, Cui'er came over and told her that she had to change clothes and the ceremony would begin soon.
Gu Yaoyao said goodbye to the guests and left.
Ye Yalin glanced at Gu Liyue and felt that this young lady had changed so much that she could hardly recognize her.
She invited everyone to go to the main hall for the ceremony.
Gu Liyue followed everyone into the hall. She had been wondering why Xiao Furou didn't come, as Gu Yaoyao and Xiao Furou usually appeared together.
It turned out that she was in the main hall, and Nie Hengzhou was sitting next to her. It turned out that she was accompanying Nie Hengzhou.
But why would Nie Hengzhou appear in such an occasion?
When Nie Hengzhou saw her appear, he nodded slightly on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Gu Liyue seemed different from a few days ago. She was still wearing a veil, but her almond-shaped eyes were brighter, like the brightest stars in a summer night, extremely dazzling.
Nie Hengzhou couldn't help but take another look. Her posture was more upright. Although she looked lazy while standing there, she was like a plum blossom that blooms proudly in the snow, with a feeling of looking down on all living beings.
Nie Hengzhou was surprised that he had a different feeling every time he saw her. She was getting better and better. Although she had no spiritual power, she could give people a feeling of being beautiful and talented.
He rubbed the fingers of his right hand, remembering their first meeting.
He became more and more curious about her. This curiosity seemed a little dangerous, but it made him want to get closer to her.
Gu Liyue looked at this person and felt that he had a sense of alienation today, as if the Gu family was not the place for him to be. He was indifferent to everything around him, which was completely different from the feeling she gave her in the Fantasy Forest.
Looking closer, the small red mole at the right corner of the eye adds a sense of charm.
She just felt that this person's appearance seemed to be in line with her aesthetic standards.
She suppressed her thoughts, looked away, and found a place to sit in the corner.
I heard a lady next to me say, "Look at the person next to the Fourth Princess. I heard that he is a student of Qingxuan Academy. He came to Donglin Kingdom this time for the Qingxuan Academy enrollment in more than a month."
"Oh, no wonder you were invited to the Gu family. The head of the Gu family is really very prestigious."
"Yes, in Donglin Country, being able to enter Qingxuan Academy is a dream for many cultivators. Everyone wants to have a good relationship with Nie Hengzhou."
"I heard that Nie Hengzhou was very cold and didn't reveal any specific details about the enrollment."
"I wonder if Patriarch Gu can get any information from him."
…
Gu Liyue listened to their discussions and decided that it was time for her to pay attention to the enrollment matters of Qingxuan College.
At this time, the two newlyweds were already in place, the engagement ceremony was about to begin, and everyone in the main hall fell silent.
The engagement ceremony went surprisingly smoothly.
Everyone looked at Gu Liyue sitting in the corner, their eyes full of surprise.
Originally, everyone thought that since Miss Gu appeared at the engagement ceremony, she would definitely make a big fuss, but she was so quiet that everyone was actually not used to it.
They were discussing in low voices again.
What this simply means is that Gu Liyue must have been warned by the patriarch, which is why she didn't dare to make trouble.
Others said that the Third Prince must have given her generous compensation when he broke off the engagement, which made her satisfied.
Some people even said that the loser had no strength and should have seen the situation clearly, so what if he made a fuss?
Aunt Yu gritted her teeth at these discussions and wanted to slam the table and loudly announce the fact that her young lady was able to practice cultivation and her cultivation level was not low.
But when she saw the calm expression on Gu Liyue's face, she restrained herself and told herself not to act impulsively and not ruin the young lady's business.
Gu Liyue knew that today would not be a peaceful day.
Sure enough, as soon as the ceremony was over, Gu Yaoyao proudly accepted everyone's flattery.
She walked up to Gu Liyue and said, "Sister, I want to duel with you! If you lose, return the armor to me."
Gu Liyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The armor belonged to the Third Prince before I broke off the engagement, and it's mine after I broke off the engagement. What do you mean by 'return it to you'?"
People around were whispering.
"It seems that this armor is not an ordinary thing! The second young lady has been asking for it again and again."
"Who says it isn't? I'd like to see it for myself."
"She actually resorted to dueling to beg for something. This Second Miss must be so arrogant because she sees that the First Miss has no spiritual power!"
"Alas! Anyway, the strong are respected, and the weak are not worthy of having good things."
"The Second Young Lady seized the armor in a duel before everyone's eyes. From now on, everyone will know that the armor is hers."
Gu Yaoyao raised one corner of her mouth, snorted, and said arrogantly: "Then tell me, do you accept my challenge?"
Aunt Yu was very excited, but when she saw her young lady was calm, she could only shout in her heart: Young lady, agree to her and then beat her up!
Gu Liyue looked around and found that the head of the Gu family was looking at this side, obviously he already knew the situation here.
Gu Liyue was waiting to see if he, as the head of the family, would come to stop this seemingly unfair duel.
She no longer had any hope for the original owner's father. He was talking to Ye Yalin and didn't even look at her.
Gu Yaoyao saw Gu Liyue was hesitating and urged, "Hurry up. If you don't want to duel, just take out the armor and you can save yourself a beating."
Gu Liyue's eyes widened as she asked, "You really want to duel with me, but if you lose, what will you give me? Or do you have something of equal value to the armor?"
Gu Yaoyao's face was distorted with anger, and she shouted loudly, "I will lose? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Gu Liyue said calmly, "Regarding the duel, we still need to set a prize. It's unfair for you to challenge me in the first place. I haven't set a prize yet, so who the hell would challenge you to a duel?"
