Seeing the five people walking away, Chen Mo turned around and asked, "Father, what did Kou Huairen say to you?" Chen Xiaotian did not answer, but just sat on the chair with his eyes closed, thoughtfully.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other, and there was silence in the huge Xuanzang Hall.
After a long time, Chen Xiaotian slowly opened his eyes and said to Chen Mo: "Mo'er, go and call Ma Desheng." Chen Mo left in response. After a while, Ma Desheng walked into the lobby and saluted Chen Xiaotian: "Master, What are your orders?!"
Chen Xiaotian waved to Ma Desheng and led him into the inner hall. Not long after, Ma Desheng was seen walking out in a hurry, without even saying hello, he went straight out of the hall.
Chen Mo was about to stop him and ask what was going on, but he heard Chen Xiaotian say from behind: "Mo'er, go and invite your wife here again." Chen Mo asked in confusion: "Father?! What happened?"
Chen Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and ask her to come over." Chen Mo knew that his father didn't want to tell him, so he had to turn around and walk out of the Xuanzang Hall. Pan Suxuan and Zhao Niantong looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts, they couldn't ask each other.
It was not long before Chen Mo and Yin Yanlai walked into the lobby one after another. Yin Yan came to see Chen Xiaotian with a gloomy face and asked with concern: "Xiaotian, what happened?!"
Chen Xiaotian stood up and said slowly: "Kou Huairen just told me that King Qi intends to recruit Yixin as his eldest concubine."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Chen Mo shouted loudly: "What?! Father, you must not agree!"
Chen Xiaotian asked back: "Why?! King Qi is very powerful in the court, and even the Holy Emperor respects him. Our marriage with King Qi can be said to be a strong alliance. From now on, no one in the court can rival us. Isn’t it great that this is the case?”
Chen Mo said loudly: "Even so, we cannot sacrifice Yixin's lifelong happiness!" Chen Xiaotian smiled slightly and said: "Mo'er, why do you say this? As far as I know, King Qi has three sons, and the one who is now an adult There is only the eldest son Song Lian. This man is both civilized and military, and has extraordinary intelligence. He and Yixin are a perfect match for each other. It is a good thing for everyone to be happy when Yixin marries into Prince Qi's palace and becomes the eldest concubine."
Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and said: "That's the case, but... but I always feel that this is inappropriate."
"Then tell me, what's wrong?" "This... I can't think of it at the moment, but important matters related to Xinyi's life should be considered in the long term."
The father and son were arguing endlessly, and suddenly they heard Yin Yan come and say: "Xiao Tian, if you betroth Yixin to Song Lian, what should you do about the martial arts contest? The final day of the martial arts contest will be in five days. If anyone wins, he will compete with Yixin. , what should we do?"
Chen Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "We don't have to worry about this. In the competition five days later, the winner will definitely be Song Lian."
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Chen Mo asked: "Father, this Song Lian did not participate in the preliminary election at all. According to the rules, he is not qualified to participate in the final competition, not to mention that the eight people in the final competition have been determined, and everyone is first-rate. A good player, how can Song Lian, a prince of the royal family, be a match for these people?"
Chen Xiaotian asked back: "Who are the eight people who advanced to the finals?" Chen Mo said: "There are Chu Xingfeng from the Lingnan Changlin Gang, He Dali from the Jiangbei Giant Shark Gang, Xiao Changshan from Fengyun Village outside Guanwai, and Qi Gui from Overseas Dragon Snake Island. Long, the masked man from the Tibetan Border, Ai Fei from the Tianxing Gang, Zhang Shouyi from the Kongtong Sect, and Sea Wasp from the Five Poison Sect."
Chen Xiaotian said: "According to your opinion, who among these people has a greater chance of winning?" Chen Mo said: "In terms of kung fu alone, Xiao Changshan of Fengyun Village and Zhang Shouyi of Kongtong Sect are slightly better, but Sea Wasp of Wudu Sect is better. He is good at using poison, and most of those who fight him will be poisoned and fall down in less than thirty moves, so his strength should not be underestimated."
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said: "Very good, you are talking about fighting alone. What if the other five people work together to deal with these three people?"
"Partnership?!" Chen Mo said in confusion: "These people come from all over the world and don't know each other. How can they join hands to deal with others?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "They do come from all over the world, but how do you know they don't know each other?" "This..." This question left Chen Mo speechless.
Yin Yanlai stepped forward and asked: "Even if they know each other, only one person can win in the competition to find a bride. Is their purpose...could it be..." Halfway through the words, she suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Xiaotian.
Chen Xiaotian nodded and continued: "Yes, they only want one person to win. Our competition system is divided into two groups. The winners will advance to the semi-finals, and then there will be a duel to determine the final winner. Even if one of the five of them is first It doesn't matter if you lose in one round, as long as you consume a lot of your opponent's physical strength, your partner will naturally win in the next round. Even if your opponent is of extraordinary strength and wins two battles in a row, your physical strength will inevitably be damaged after two rounds of competition. As long as the opponent is one of our own, I believe we can win in the end."
Yin Yanlai frowned slightly and thought: "Xiaotian, who do you think they will win in the end?" Chen Xiaotian turned around and asked Chen Mo: "Mo'er, which one of them do you think will be the winner?"
Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said: "This... the identities of the others have been confirmed. Only the masked guest from Tibet always covered his face during the competition and never showed his true face. Could it be him?"
Chen Xiaotian twirled his beard and said: "This person is most likely. No one has seen his face. As long as he wins in the end, Song Lian can exchange identities with him and become the winner."
Zhao Niantong was puzzled as he listened, and couldn't help but ask: "I still don't understand, whether it's the masked guest or Song Lian, if he doesn't have enough kung fu in the end and can't defeat Sister Yixin, wouldn't he still be able to defeat her?" All your efforts have been wasted?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "You asked very well. This is why Kou Huairen came to me." Yin Yanlai said: "Does he want Yixin to deliberately lose to this masked man in the competition?"
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's right. In this way, Song Lian is the winner of the competition and can legitimately marry Yixin as his wife." When Chen Mo heard this, he loudly said: "No, how can Yixin marry such a person?! Father, you must not agree!"
Chen Xiaotian groaned softly and said: "Well... Mo'er, don't worry about this matter." Chen Mo still wanted to argue, but Yin Yan came to persuade him: "Mo'er, don't worry, this matter will eventually have to be consulted. Only Yixin’s opinion will do.”
Chen Mo turned from worry to joy and said, "Yes, Yixin will definitely not agree to this marriage." As soon as he finished speaking, a voice as sweet as a silver bell came from outside the lobby, "I agree to this marriage!"
