He endured the pain for a moment, knowing in his heart that Chu Xiaoxiao was telling him to do something.
Damn it! Chu Xiaoxiao, you just wait!
To deal with someone like Du Yinyun, you have to be different. Otherwise, why would she ignore everyone else's blatant stares and instead meet the protagonist's "clear" gaze?
He Yunxiao knew this in his heart, but he couldn't use it because he was already "famous" and no one in the capital with eyes and ears believed that He Yunxiao's eyes were clear.
So he struck a pose like Ge You lying down and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Miss Du, stop dawdling, let's get this martial arts tournament started!"
Du Yinyun, who was standing on the stage, naturally turned to look at He Yunxiao after being disturbed.
First, I was amazed by He Yunxiao's handsomeness, then I secretly felt sorry for him.
Such a beautiful face was wasted on a cynical rich kid.
Du Yinyun is not a pure looks-obsessed person like Jiang Wuyou. After all, she is the daughter of Du Lie and has been educated from a young age about talented men and beautiful women, loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.
He Yunxiao may be handsome, but he has questionable character, and she would never like him.
Du Yinyun's favorability rating has decreased from 30 to 25.
Du Hua Kui withdrew her gaze from He Yunxiao and announced the rules of the martial arts competition in a cool voice.
The general idea is that the participants compete in martial arts, and five young ladies from Chunfeng Tower, including Du Yinyun, score them. Each score is worth one "golden flower." The top ten winners of the "golden flower" competition can advance to the next round, the "fallen flower" competition.
In addition, tipping can also earn you extra gold coins.
In this way, the ultimate winner will either be highly skilled in martial arts or have a lot of money, and both Chunfenglou will make a huge profit.
After explaining the rules, Du Yinyun glanced at Chu Fan and He Yunxiao before stepping off the stage.
One of them was plain-looking but had clear eyes, while the other was exceptionally handsome but had a notorious and vulgar reputation.
Du Yinyun stepped down from the dueling platform and headed towards the viewing platform on the second floor of the hall.
She was conflicted.
On the one hand, she greatly admired Chu Fan and did not want such a person to fight and quarrel over her; on the other hand, she hoped that something could happen between her and Chu Fan, after all, compared with those good-for-nothing playboys, she would rather devote herself to a virtuous gentleman.
Du Yinyun had a different opinion about He Yunxiao.
Marquis Wuqing, He Yuanhao, was a renowned general, surpassing even his father in both military command and combat. How could such a man have fathered a good-for-nothing like He Yunxiao, who bullies men and women? I'll discuss with Sister Wuyou later when the martial arts competition is being scored, and we'll lower this villain's score so he falls out of the top ten. Hopefully, he'll learn his lesson and put his mind on the right path.
Upon arriving at the viewing platform, the maidservant holding the gong was already prepared. She introduced the five judges and announced the start of the competition!
However, to everyone's surprise, this competition was actually a rating system for two top courtesans!
Another courtesan is Jiang Wuyou, who has been famous for a long time and whose dance is the best in the capital!
Normally, the five judges would consist of one top courtesan and four lower-ranking courtesans. The lower-ranking courtesans wouldn't choose the most popular ones, but rather more established ones with less fame. However, the fact that two top courtesans were judging the contestants was somewhat irregular, but no one raised any objections.
It's always a welcome sight to see another beautiful woman.
If you don't get the attention of Du Huakui, it would be a wonderful thing to get the attention of Jiang Huakui.
The already popular martial arts competition registration became even more popular. In the end, even Chu Fan got up to register, while He Yunxiao remained seated without making a move.
It's impossible to register.
If I go to a duel, wouldn't that be like offering my head to Chu Fan to chop off?
Du Yinyun frowned as she stared at He Yunxiao, because this guy didn't even show up until the registration deadline.
Not only did he not participate, he even ordered a table full of delicious food, seemingly preparing for a feast.
He Yunxiao's appearance even made Du Yinyun doubt her own looks.
I had heard that he was fond of drinking and women, so why was he indifferent to me? Could it be that my appearance was not good enough for him?
However, He Yunxiao was not an important person to Du Yinyun after all, so she didn't think about it too much and put the idea of doubting his appearance out of her mind.
Then, I quickly turned my attention to the arena, because Chu Fan, with his clear eyes, was about to enter the arena to fight.
"The duel begins!"
As the gong sounded, the audience cheered, and Chu Fan and his opponent moved simultaneously.
At this moment, He Yunxiao, who was sitting on the sidelines, also made a move.
He coughed loudly, immediately attracting a lot of attention. Then, under everyone's gaze, he picked up a table full of food with one hand, swaggered around the arena, and walked towards the second-floor viewing platform.
"Holy crap! He Yunxiao is ruthless!"
"To lift a table full of food with one hand, that must be at least a seventh-rank martial artist!"
"Not only that, look at the wine in the bowl on the table, it's as still as a mirror, without the slightest ripple. He Yunxiao's cultivation level is definitely more than just the seventh rank!"
All eyes were on He Yunxiao, and no one paid any attention to Chu Fan in the arena.
Including Du Yinyun.
She frowned as she watched He Yunxiao walk over with the table.
Trying to get my attention this way? A child's trick.
Unexpectedly, He Yunxiao didn't even look at her, and carried the table to Jiang Wuyou's side.
He only showed a dazzling smile to Jiang Wuyou.
"Sister Jiang, wine, food, or a beautiful woman, which would you like?"
