Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 259 Martial Arts Competition 3

The moonlight is like water, gently sprinkling on the quiet night, like the tenderness in a dream, permeating the air.

Xia Liang licked her lips and smiled like a flower.

"Yan Xuan, from now on you are mine, so you can't disobey me at every turn."

"Xia Cao, so you will marry me in the future, right?"

Xia Liang touched his chin, pretending to think deeply: "That may not be the case, but from now on you are my boyfriend. We can eat together, hold hands, kiss and hug each other, and as for getting married..."

Yan Xuan's eyes widened: "Xia Cao, can a boyfriend do so many inappropriate things? If you don't marry me in the future, who else would dare to marry you?"

"I don't care what others think. This is me anyway. If you don't like me in the future, or if I..."

"I like you and will always like you."

Xia Liang threw his head back and laughed twice: "Okay, from now on, you are not allowed to refute me at every turn. No matter what choice you make, you must stand by my side. Even if your family forces you to, you can't betray me. Do you understand?"

"Xia Liang, you are Xia Liang, right?"

"Also, don't ask me who I am, or I'll break up with you and never see you again."

"..."

He was silent, then nodded foolishly.

Xia Liang pinched Yan Xuan's face with her hands and suddenly felt that he was so cute and handsome.

"Yan Xuan, I will also stand by your side. No matter who treats you badly, I will help you. Whoever wants to stop us from being together, I will not let him succeed, unless, unless you let go."

"Yeah, I will too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Liang's hot lips pressed against his again.

He Yuan, standing not far away, stood there like a pillar. When had these two become so open and explosive? Did country girls not care too much about their reputations? But looking at them, it felt so sweet. Why?

-

The contest was inconclusive, so Master Murong let them go. Although Murong wanted to kill Prince Ning immediately, he couldn't let anything happen in his villa.

Only after Zhu Jinyou left did Luo Yu wrap his cloak tightly and prepare to return to the house.

Young Master Murong stepped forward and warned her, "Miss Bai, it's late at night and very cold. You should go back to your room and rest. I'll have a few reliable guards guarding the door."

"Mr. Murong, thank you!"

Qin Bingrui put away the sword and returned it to the other man. He winked at Murong and said, "Brother, you're a good person! When can we have a duel again?"

"Miss Qin, the martial arts competition will be held in two days. You will have ample opportunities to compete with various masters. With your current strength, you are sure to win the women's championship."

"Oh, then who's the most powerful here? Is it the owner of the manor? Once I win the championship, I'll go find him and compete..."

"..."

When Lao Jin and the other middle-aged and elderly members of the "Flying Tigers" heard that their boss was actually going to compete in martial arts with the legendary owner of Xiaoyao Manor, they all became excited again. If the hero Qin won, wouldn't their "Flying Tigers" become famous in the world?

Thinking of this, Lao Jin asked everyone to run a few laps before going back to the house to rest.

Members of the Flying Tigers: ...

Bai Lingyi was in high spirits and followed Lao Jin's team, saying that he also wanted to train more.

Qin Bingrui showed a rare look of relief: The children have finally grown up! The trip to Xiaoyao Villa was not in vain.

Master Murong asked Li Feng to take them to the courtyard where they lived, but Qin Bingrui refused.

When Tong Luoqie walked to the dormitory, he saw Xia Liang and Yan Xuan sitting on the steps, looking at each other, talking and laughing, with their restless hands tightly clasped together.

Seeing them coming over, Xia Liang immediately raised Yan Xuan's hand and announced to them: "From now on, Yan Xuan is my boyfriend, the person I might marry in the future."

Yan Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly and stammered, "I really want to marry Xia Cao, but she said we should just try dating first. However, I will definitely be responsible to the end."

Qin Bingrui said with disdain: "Stop being so annoying, you two little brats are just playing house!"

Luo Yu chuckled and said to Yan Xuan: "Then you must seize the opportunity. You are Xia Cao's first boyfriend!"

Yan Xuan exclaimed, "Ah!" Could it be possible that she could have several boyfriends?

Xia Liang stood up and walked out taking Yan Xuan's hand.

"Don't bother with those two single guys. They're just jealous of us."

Qin Bingrui called out from behind: "Young man, don't go too far. What are you doing out in such cold weather?"

Luo Yu patted him and smiled, covering his mouth: "Xia Cao has grown up. Don't be too involved in her boyfriend. Why do you feel like her father?"

"When will Sister Luo Hong be able to have a relationship? Do you like Master Murong more or that brat Prince Ning more?"

“Why can I only like these two?”

"These two are rich, powerful and handsome! Otherwise, why would you choose a poor guy?"

"I can make so much money, but I don't care whether a man has money or not."

"Then you should choose Master Murong. He listens to you more. However, he has family elders, which is also troublesome. But there's nothing wrong with falling in love. It's not necessary to get married..."

……

The next day, everyone got up and practiced.

Luo Yu washed his face, walked out and looked into the distance.

The fog was thick, and a rising sun broke through the layers of fog, warming the cold air a few layers.

The young warriors of Xiaoyao Villa have already started practicing sword dancing. Not far away, Qin Bingrui is taking the middle-aged and elderly "Flying Tigers" for a morning jog, followed by the two little guys Bai Lingyi and Mei Zhengyan.

You know what, it looks like a beautiful landscape painting.

"Miss Bai, you're up really early!"

"Master Murong, it seems you have been exercising for an hour or so. I must have slept in a long time."

"It's cold, you'll be fine if you get more sleep."

"That won't do. I have to sharpen my skills for the next couple of days. That girl Xia Cao actually signed me up for a martial arts competition."

"I heard from Li Feng that if you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

"That won't do. At least I have to set an example for Qin Bingrui's middle-aged and elderly "Flying Tigers."

"Then I'll join you in the competition. I heard there are many ways to play the game. We can form a team together then."

"Okay, by the way, why didn't your owner let us meet? Is he a bit socially anxious?"

"No, they are all from our Murong family. He doesn't live here."

A sly glint flashed across Luo Yu's eyes. "I heard it's a very young gentleman. Could it be you?"

"There are many young masters in our Murong family, and I am not the only one."

Luo Yu didn't know why he wanted to hide it, but he never asked about her affairs, so she didn't bother to ask about his affairs either.

One day later, the martial arts competition officially began.

The venue is a piece of land outside Xiaoyao Villa, covering an area of dozens of acres, which is just enough to divide the competition venue into several areas.

The competition was divided into different occasions, first into men's and women's groups, and each group was further divided into archery competition, bare-knuckle competition and weapons duel competition.

The top ten will be selected in each round, and the selected thirty will then participate in a comprehensive competition, and finally the top ten will be selected for the finals.

The top ten in the men's and women's groups will then compete with each other, and the champion and the rest will be selected based on the overall ranking.

There was a constant stream of contestants, and the whole scene was extremely lively. The person presiding over the event was an old steward of the Murong family. His hair and beard were all white, but he was imposing and majestic as he stood on the big stage.

There are corresponding staff members at each competition venue, and everyone lines up according to the ranking they are called.

The men's group alone lined up in dozens of rows, with about 20 people in each row, and the women's group lined up in ten rows, with 15 people in each row.

Luo Yu, Xia Liang and Qin Bingrui were at the end of the group. The girls who came to participate in the competition were all dressed up in fancy clothes, and only a few of them were dressed like serious martial artists.

Qin Bingrui curled his lips: "Damn, these people are not here to compete, they are here for a blind date, right?"

A beautiful girl, dressed particularly strikingly, glanced back at them and said with a smile, "Isn't this girl in green also wearing rouge and powder? You only laugh at others, but aren't you the same? The governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps. Humph, how ridiculous!"

Xia Liang was so angry that her face turned green: "My sister is naturally beautiful, she doesn't need to wear rouge!"

Luo Yu touched his forehead and then his cheeks. Why did they feel a little hot? Could it be that he caught a cold while watching the fun the night before yesterday?

"Xia Liang, Bing Rui, maybe I have a fever?"
