Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Upon hearing this, Lang Ye immediately sat up straight and listened attentively to Zhou Yiqiao's explanation.

Zhou Yiqiao's help today has already convinced him of this human monk. Now seeing Zhou Yiqiao's serious expression, he naturally took it seriously.

Zhou Yiqiao said in a deep voice.

"The princess' polite words at the banquet today are a reminder to you."

"The first thing you need to do in tomorrow's competition is to show your strength, but besides that, remember not to be too ostentatious and know how to control yourself."

"Especially Yan Zheng from the Black Rock Clan. I think he is an arrogant and domineering lunatic. When he gets on the ring, he will definitely show off his strength and show off his power."

"I know you have an irreconcilable hatred with this person, but for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Clan, if you meet him, you must remain calm and not be affected by the provocation of your opponent."

Lang Ye nodded and agreed solemnly.

Zhou Yiqiao continued.

"Secondly, you need to show your breadth of mind and magnanimity."

"I think the princess is exactly like those pseudo-righteous monks among our human race. She obviously likes gentlemen who are elegant and refined."

"In a fight, if your opponent is injured, you might as well stop and show respect and care to him."

"This way, not only can you win the favor of everyone present and avoid making enemies, but you can also leave a deep impression on the princess."

"Also, you have to be careful with your words."

"When communicating with the princess, you must show your sincerity and respect, but also your insight and wisdom."

"What the princess hopes to find is a partner who can fight alongside her, not just a powerful guard."

Lang Ye listened carefully and kept every word Zhou Yiqiao said in mind.

Zhou Yiqiao took a sip of the spiritual tea, moistened his throat, and continued.

"Finally, you have to observe. Watch how your opponent fights, and observe the princess' reactions and preferences."

"In a duel, adjust your strategy according to the actual situation and be flexible."

"I still say the same thing. The princess has already made her request to this extent. She hopes that her future husband is not only the strongest in terms of strength, but also has a level of wisdom far superior to that of ordinary people."

A determined light flashed in Lang Ye's eyes. He stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Brother Zhou's teachings are engraved in my heart."

"In tomorrow's duel, I will do as you say and live up to Brother Zhou's expectations."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and nodded, then pointed to the door and said with a smile.

"Well, now that you know everything, get out of here."

Lang Ye was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Zhou Yiqiao would chase people away at this time.

"Brother Zhou, what do you mean by this? But what have I done to displease you, Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Yiqiao laughed and then explained with a wink.

"Since there is not a trace of spiritual energy in this room, if you want to practice, you can only spend one night in the yard."

Just as Lang Ye was about to continue asking, he suddenly remembered the various invisible trials he had encountered that day. He immediately understood Zhou Yiqiao's intention, smiled and bowed to Zhou Yiqiao, and ran out happily as if he had realized some profound truth.

......

Nothing happened that night. As the morning light began to break, the sky gradually turned a gentle blue-purple color. Lang Ye had already sat cross-legged in the yard, closed his eyes and concentrated, starting his new day of practice.

As the sun rose higher, the territory of the Sky Demon Clan gradually became lively. Monks from all clans headed to the arena to prepare for today's competition.

Lang Ye naturally called Zhou Yiqiao who was in the house, and they got up together and prepared to go to the arena.

The arena was located outside the imperial palace. The accompanying personnel from various tribes who were not allowed to enter the imperial palace yesterday, as well as the spectators from all walks of life under the rule of the Flame Scale Demon Emperor who came after hearing the news, all gathered here early. The place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Lang Ye and Zhou Yiqiao walked side by side, passing through the bustling crowd to meet up with the members of the Tian Yao tribe, but they did not expect to attract a lot of attention.

Lang Ye stood tall and straight, and with Zhou Yiqiao's instruction last night, his every move added a bit of calmness and grace, attracting approving glances from the onlookers around him.

"Isn't this the young leader of the Sky Demon Clan, Wolf Night? I thought you would be too scared to participate in today's competition."

Yan Zheng from the Black Rock Tribe appeared from nowhere, brought with him several tribesmen, and swaggered in front of Lang Ye, blocking the way of Zhou Yiqiao and others.

If it were in the past, Lang Ye might have immediately retorted, but Zhou Yiqiao's advice last night made him calm down a lot.

He took a deep breath and responded calmly.

"Yan Zheng, the Son-in-Law Selection Ceremony is a stage to display strength and wisdom, not a place for quarrels."

"I came here to participate in the competition, not to engage in a meaningless argument with you."

Lang Ye's answer made the surrounding onlookers' eyes light up. They originally thought they would see a fierce quarrel between the two young clan leaders, but they did not expect Lang Ye to be so calm and composed.

Yan Zheng didn't expect Lang Ye to respond like this. He was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, that sounds nice."

"Once we're on the stage, I'll let you know who is the strongest of the younger generation under the rule of the Demon King."

After saying that, Yan Zheng and his people left in disappointment. Apparently, they felt that they had not achieved the expected effect and found it a bit boring.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded to Lang Ye to show his approval.

Lang Ye smiled in response, and the two of them continued forward with the members of the Sky Demon Clan, arriving at the central area of ​​the arena, waiting for the competition to begin.

As time passed, more and more people gathered at the arena, and elites from various ethnic groups also arrived one after another.

They were either chatting in groups of three or five, or sitting in meditation alone, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Finally, with the sound of a melodious horn, the Flame Scale Demon King and the princess appeared on the podium of the arena.

Today the princess was not covered by a veil. She was dressed in a gorgeous dress that was full of brilliance. It seemed as if stars were moving between the fluttering hems of her skirt. The delicate demon pattern on her forehead added a bit of mystery and nobility to her.

The princess's gaze swept across the entire place, lingered on Lang Ye for a moment longer, and then she obediently retreated behind the Flame Scale Demon King.

The Flame Scale Demon King raised his hand slightly, and the entire arena instantly became quiet, leaving only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

"Everyone, today is the day of the Yanlin clan's son-in-law selection ceremony. The elites of all clans have gathered here to demonstrate their strength and wisdom through a duel in the arena."

"May our demon race prosper for a long time, and may all of you perform at your best and win the princess's favor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the war drums around the arena roared, and the son-in-law selection ceremony officially began.
