As the largest sect in the Chu region, Wumeng Mountain, the attitude of the leader Jiang Yiyi is very important, but she is very smart and only gave an ambiguous answer. She did not say whether she was willing to join the imperial court, but only said that she could be friends, but just friends. That’s all.
Seeing the attitude of the Jianghu sects, King Chu was a little angry, but he didn't show it, and he still looked kind and cheerful.
He told the eunuch beside him that the banquet could begin. Soon, beautiful palace maids came out one by one carrying delicious family banquets. The so-called young heroes' eyes widened when they saw it, as if they had never seen the world. .
Wang Qizhi, Erdan and Murong Tianqing were much calmer. They didn't even look at these maids. The first two already had their beloved women. No matter how beautiful these women were, they couldn't catch their eye.
Wu Youding saw the performance of these young people in the world one by one. It seemed that they had no great potential and there was nothing to worry about. However, Sun Wuming was different from the boy named Wang, so he seemed to have to be careful.
Soon all the dishes were served, and Wang Qizhi began to eat meat and drink wine without caring about other people's opinions, which attracted ridicule from the people around him.
"Look at this kid's worthless appearance, as if he hasn't had any good food."
"That's right, how could the princess fall in love with such a bumpkin?"
Before Wang Qizhi could answer, Jiang Yiyi couldn't hold it any longer. These scoundrels insulted their disciples like this, which was like slapping Wumengshan in the face. She wanted to teach them a lesson on the spot, but Wang Qizhi grabbed him and used The voice said:
"Master, I won't bother you to do this little thing yourself, just leave it to me!"
Wang Qizhi picked up the wine glass and stood up slowly, drank the wine in one gulp, and scolded these hypocrites: "I am better than you sanctimonious bastards. When the maids brought the wine and food just now, I looked at your eyes. You’ve all looked straight, and you still have the nerve to criticize me here!”
A young man in gorgeous clothes was a little dissatisfied, and immediately stood up and retorted: "Sun Wuming, you kid, don't be so arrogant and domineering because your master is the head of Wumeng Mountain. This is the palace, and you will not be allowed to act wild. .”
Wang Qizhi's murderous aura suddenly surged out, and he sneered at the young man: "Come here and bite me if you dare!"
"You..." The young man was too angry to say a word, and sat back angrily.
Wu Youding asked Hu Tianhua beside him in a heartfelt voice: "Eunuch Hu, what do you think of this kid?"
Hu Tianhua replied from the bottom of his heart in a very respectful tone: "Reporting to your Majesty, this boy may seem out of character, but in fact he is very knowledgeable. He is so calm in such an occasion, which is extraordinary for young people."
What he said was exactly the same as Wu Youding's thoughts. I believe that this kid will become a great person in the future.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Wu Youding said to everyone: "Since the young heroes present can no longer bear it any longer, let the martial arts competition begin!"
Then he asked Hu Tianhua to announce the rules of the duel. They compete in pairs, and the winner continues to participate in the competition. During the duel, no one can be killed, etc...
Of course, there are rewards for this duel. The winner will not only receive a thousand taels of gold, but also a copy of the best martial arts secrets in the palace.
The young juniors present were not here for these things, but wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Wang Qizhi and win the heart of the princess.
Wang Qizhi looked at these young people. Only one of them had reached the upper sun position in martial arts, and the rest were all at the middle sun position and upper moon position, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
One thing made him very curious, and that was why Mo Yu became so honest today and didn't want his style.
Since the last time Mo Yu failed to assassinate Wang Qizhi and the other three, Mo Wentian had dealt with him severely. His resentment towards Wang Qizhi had increased a little bit more, but he did not dare to make any mistakes when he was guarding his father and the King of Chu.
Wang Qizhi stood up slowly, and his next words shocked everyone present.
"Don't go to such trouble. It will waste too much of your precious time. Just let these losers come along."
Seeing how arrogant this kid was, all the young people stood up and reprimanded Wang Qizhi for not knowing the truth. Some even cursed him with vicious words.
Wang Qiyi had an indifferent expression on his face and said: "Don't talk so much useless nonsense, just tell me whether you dare to accept the challenge."
There were about a dozen of these young juniors, and even a master above Wang Qi could easily defeat him and humiliate him severely, so they immediately agreed.
King Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Qizhi, feeling that this boy was becoming more and more interesting. Then he wanted to see today whether this boy was qualified to be with his daughter.
After receiving instructions from King Chu, the eunuchs below Hu Tianhua immediately came to the open space in the middle, spread out to all sides, stretched their arms forward, and poured out their powerful internal energy along their palms, at a distance of about one step. Suddenly stopping, after about a few intentional moments, their internal energy began to spread around, eventually covering the middle part, forming a huge shield.
After they retracted their arms, Hu Tianhua said to everyone present: "After a while, these juniors participating in the duel will enter the duel here to prevent the splashing internal force from hurting innocent people."
He was not joking when he said this. This protective shield gathered the internal strength of a middle-level master and several lower-level masters. Even if an upper-level master entered it, he could not easily break it.
Hu Tianhua waved his hand gently, and a huge gap appeared in the shield, saying: "All you young heroes in the world, please come in!"
Wang Qizhi stood up first and said to the young people: "I'll go in first, and those who are brave can follow me."
After that, he dodged and entered the shield. The remaining young people, despite their tough words, were extremely cowardly when the time came to take action. Look at me, I look at you. In the end Driven by face, they all entered the shield.
Murong Tianqing and Mo Yu also wanted to enter, but their father stopped them and told them not to get involved in this matter. This was a trap set by King Chu to test these Jianghu people. It was unreasonable for their sons to participate.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister and Mo Wentian knew that this boy surnamed Sun was full of tricks. Today he was so confident in challenging so many people. He didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. His son got into it like this. What an accident they thought he was. You will lose all face in front of the King of Chu and become the laughing stock of the officials.
Murong Tianqing said to his father in a somewhat unconvinced voice: "Dad, why don't you let me go in to compete? Are you looking down on me so much?"
