Chapter 152(1/2)
Martial Arts Competition to Recruit a Marriage
Ye Ranyi didn't have Jin Ziming's social experience, so he agreed without thinking too much.
The two walked towards Ye Mansion, and Fairy Ye introduced the situation to him as they walked:
"The Ye family has seven branches in total, and the clan leader and the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall are neutral;
Those who support you are the second elder of the branch where my family belongs and the elders of Dingchun Arhat lineage;
Those who support Wu Dengyun include the first elder, the third elder and the elder in charge of external affairs.
Jin Ziming joked:
"Ranyi, what will you do if I lose?"
"I never thought you would lose. Even if you lose, I will definitely not marry another person. Don't worry."
Jin Ziming was a little moved, patted Yiren's shoulder gently, and said softly:
"Don't worry, Ranyi, I won't lose."
Ye Ranyi smiled, like a blooming white orchid, elegant and charming, which fascinated Jin Ziming.
When he walked into the Ye Mansion, he couldn't help but click his tongue. He saw the heritage of a first-level sect cultivation family. The area of the manor was actually larger than that of the Long Qing Sect.
The large turquoise lake is full of spiritual energy, with small islands and pavilions, a few small boats floating on it, and immortals fishing.
Pavilions, exquisite and elegant carvings, green willow silk fluttering in the wind.
There are many stone sculptures along the way, most of which are related to cultivation.
There are immortals pulling branches out of porcelain bottles, enlightened fish spitting out smallpox, Xuannv Empress flying to the mortal world, etc.
The mist lingers in the distance, revealing a corner of the house. Each courtyard is a family in the clan.
The two of them were not in a hurry to go to the VIP Building and decided to visit the second elder and Ye Ranyi's father first.
There is a fish pond in the garden of Ranyi's house. Many spiritual herbs are planted around it, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.
It was almost noon, so Ye Ranyi simply arranged for him to have a meal with his elders.
The second elder has a Chinese character face and a majestic appearance. The middle-aged father Ye is handsome and unrestrained, while the mother Ye is a middle-aged lady who still has charm.
Jin Ziming immediately showed his true face, told the truth about his roots, and asked his elders to keep it secret. The three elders were quite satisfied with his honesty.
During the dinner, Jin Ziming's conversation and insight were not inferior to those of the elites of the big sects, and he even added a bit of goodwill and confidence to the other party.
When the banquet was about to end, Jin Ziming said:
"Second uncle, I have a heartless request from this junior, and I hope it will be granted."
"What do you think."
"My strength is fighting. I wonder if I could trouble you to help promote it and set the rules as a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?"
The second elder showed a knowing smile and said:
"This is exactly what I want. We monks don't compare with this. How can we compare with reciting poems?"
"That's great, thank you second uncle."
"If there is a martial arts competition, and there are so many clan members present, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?" the second elder joked.
"I can't care about that now. Of course, it would be better if the image stone could be disabled during the competition."
In the afternoon, Ye Ranyi took him to meet the younger generation of Dingchun Arhat. This family was very interesting.
It is divided into two courtyards, the east and west. In addition to houses, there are bamboo groves, lotus ponds and several Buddhist halls on the east side, while the west side has a typical Taoist style.
The head of this department is named Ye Qingqin, who is in charge of the inner treasury and library.
This person has a kind face and a gentle manner, and has profound attainments in Taoism and Buddhism.
Jin Ziming still met him in his true appearance, and took the opportunity to ask him about some confusions caused by the "Nirvana Technique of Immortality".
In particular, Ye Qingqin answered all the questions he encountered when practicing the three great principles of water, wind and consciousness, which made him enlightened.
As the conversation continued, Ye Qingqin also began to look at this junior in a different light. How could a Jindan have such insight?
Seeing that the conversation was promising, Jin Ziming promptly asked for help regarding the rules for recruiting a son-in-law. Ye Qingqin was very happy and immediately agreed to push it forward with all his strength.
After visiting the two most important places, Jin Ziming went to the VIP building to stay.
The next day, they went to meet the neutralists.
The clan leader has been in the Taoist temple recently and I haven't seen him. He only chatted with the law enforcement elders for a while, leaving a relatively positive image on him.
Seeing that there was still half a day left, Jin Ziming decided to simply visit the three opponents.
But in the end, I only saw the third elder, and the two sides chatted for a few words.
Jin Ziming greatly restrained his aura and soul power, leaving only the image of a seasoned person with acceptable combat power to his opponent.
Although the other two didn't meet, the courtesy was exhausted. As for whether the other two appreciated it, Jin Ziming didn't care.
After three days of this, the Wu family arrived.
In addition to the brothers and their father, Xiaoyao Sect and Xingguang Sect each dispatched a true king from the early Mahayana period.
The five soldiers divided into two groups and went to visit the three elders who supported Wu Dengyun and the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. Since the clan leader had not returned yet, they did not see them either.
The next night, Jin Ziming received a message from Ye Ranyi:
"Zi Ming, the clan has agreed that we will compete in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride in two days.
The Wu family can decide on their own whether Wu Dengyun or Wu Zhenzi will play, and I think it is mostly the latter."
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Jin Ziming calmed down, meditated and adjusted his breath in his room, trying to adjust himself to the best fighting condition.
The day of the competition finally arrived, and under the guidance of the deacon of the VIP Building, he came to the martial arts arena.
There were many members of the Ye family gathered around, not only the Jindan and Foundation-building juniors who were joining in the fun, but also many Nascent Soul masters and combined powers.
Some even suspend retreats and come to observe.
After all, if Wu Zhenzi was on the field today, both sides would be one of the six world-famous geniuses.
This battle will definitely shock the entire world of cultivation.
Being able to experience the point of contact on the spot will definitely be a bargaining chip for bragging with friends in the future.
Jin Ziming showed himself as a "demon sword". He restrained his aura and appeared to be just an ordinary strong young man.
Countless curious eyes came to him, but most of them failed to see what was outstanding about him.
Soon, five people from the Wu family arrived.
Wu Dengyun was tall, handsome and well-groomed. After he glanced at Jin Ziming, he smiled and said hello to the elders around him with his eyes.
Finally, he focused his attention on the beauty that fascinated him.
Wu Zhenzi is slightly shorter than him, has good facial features, and looks very sunny.
His eyes are lively and he has a naughty smile, which is a mixture of childishness, sincerity of youth, and rogueness of youth.
Jin Ziming looked at him, thinking it was just a courtesy greeting. Unexpectedly, the guy actually strode over, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Brother Yaodao, I have long admired your name.
I am Wu Zhenzi, and I have managed to get into that jingle, so I am qualified to chat with Brother Dao."
"Brother Wu is too modest."
"Brother Wu can only call me brother. Just call me Zhenzi. We are still young."
"Okay, Zhenzi." Jin Ziming thought of Zeng Ze and immediately felt a little fond of this familiar guy.
"Brother Dao, let me tell you the truth in advance. My brother is already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. If he fights against you, he might be suspected of bullying.
You see, we are both in the late stage of Golden Elixir, so today is a battle between the two of us.
You have to cheer up, as soon as I start doing something, I will be scared even myself.
When emotions arise, you may not be able to hold back, and it is very common to cause death."
Wu Zhenzi was quite shameless. It was obvious that Wu Dengyun did not dare to challenge, but instead he became unwilling to overwhelm others with his level.
"Ranyi and I have been in love for decades. If we lose today, our lives will be meaningless.
If you could take it, you would be doing me a big favor."
Jin Ziming responded with humor.
"Brother Dao, you can't say that.
For us cultivators, the path is the most important, women are dispensable, why do you need to be persistent?"
Wu Zhenzi advised him sternly.
"Thank you for reminding me, but I have made up my mind and will win today."
"Okay, then let's have a hearty fuck.
