After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

The broken sword blade drew a sad arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. Zhou Jianghe was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. This precious sword that had accompanied him for many years was so vulnerable under Chu Xuanhao's sword.

Chu Xuanhao did not stop his attack. He took advantage of Zhou Jianghe's moment of distraction and kicked him in the chest. Zhou Jianghe was kicked off the ring before he could react. His body drew a parabola in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.

The audience below the stage cried out in surprise. They were all shocked as they watched Zhou Jianghe fall off the stage in a mess. Chu Xuanhao stood quietly on the stage, his eyes revealing an indescribable dominance and majesty.

Zhou Jianghe struggled to get up from the ground. He looked up at Chu Xuanhao with eyes full of resentment and anger. He knew he had lost, but he couldn't accept such a result. He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the ground, as if venting his anger.

Chu Xuanhao silently stared at Zhou Jianghe, without a trace of mockery in his eyes. He knew what this duel meant to Zhou Jianghe, but he would not be soft-hearted because this was the world of martial arts, the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy.

As the referee announced Chu Xuanhao's victory, the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers. They cheered for this wonderful duel and celebrated Chu Xuanhao's victory. Zhou Jianghe quietly left the ring, his back looked a little lonely and desolate.

Chu Xuanhao stood on the stage and accepted the applause and cheers from the audience. He knew that at this moment he had become the focus of everyone's attention, but he did not become proud and complacent because he knew that the road of martial arts was still long and he still had a long way to go.

In the highly anticipated competition arena, Chu Xuanhao demonstrated his strength to crush all the opponents with his own strength.

When he won the championship of the Twelve Knights Tournament, the audience was so excited that the cheers were deafening.

Zhou Yunlong was sitting on the platform, witnessing all of this. A glimmer of approval flashed across his deep eyes, and he obviously admired the young man's talent and strength.

So he stood up, walked slowly to the front of the stage, and prepared to present the trophy to Chu Xuanhao in person.

When Chu Xuanhao took the heavy trophy from the emperor, a winner's smile appeared on his face and confidence flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Yunlong looked at him and asked gently, "Chu Xuanhao, you have won honor for our Great Zhou, and I want to reward you. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Chu Xuanhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I want to marry the girl of destiny."

The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. The girl of destiny was a treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was rumored that she possessed mysterious powers and could bring good luck to the country.

However, such a request was obviously beyond Zhou Yunlong's expectations. He frowned slightly and looked embarrassed.

"Chu Xuanhao, your request is really not low." The emperor spoke slowly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "It's just that the girl of destiny has been betrothed to the twelfth prince Gu Qingchen. This..."

Chu Xuanhao did not show any surprise when he heard this, as if he had expected such an answer. He looked up and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I know this request is a bit excessive. However, I believe that the national fortune I can bring to the Great Zhou is definitely much better than a hostage prince."

Although his voice was calm, every word was full of power. Zhou Yunlong looked at him, with a flash of surprise and approval in his eyes. This young man not only had outstanding martial arts, but also had great ambitions.

However, the emperor did not express his opinion immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chu Xuanhao, I need to consider your request. After all, this concerns the lifelong affairs of the girl of destiny, and also the future of the Great Zhou."

Chu Xuanhao nodded to show his understanding: "Your Majesty, I am willing to wait for your reply."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was prepared for a long wait.

Zhou Yunlong looked at him, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He patted Chu Xuanhao on the shoulder, then turned back to his seat. All eyes were focused on this young man, who stood in the center of the arena, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes as firm as a torch.

At night, the moonlight sprinkled like water on the quiet courtyard of the Chen Mansion, covering this quaint building with a layer of silver gauze.

The family sat in the dimly lit living room, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Chen Tanyan sat majestically in the main seat, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

His eyes kept moving over his children, as if assessing their growth and changes.

Chen Qiyu sat below his father. He had an upright posture, a handsome face, and a heroic look between his brows.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to make his request to his father: "Father, since I have obtained the qualification of the Twelve Riders, can you release my eldest brother who is locked in the dungeon to reunite with us?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tanyan frowned slightly and his eyes became deep.

He was silent for a moment, tapping his fingers on the table, as if weighing the pros and cons.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. Chen Qiyu looked at his father nervously, fearing that he would refuse his request.

Ye Guyan, who was sitting nearby, was holding her youngest daughter Chen Shuyin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and concern.

Although Chen Shuyin was young, she sensibly snuggled in her mother's arms and said in a tender voice, "Daddy, I miss my brother too. Let him come out and play with me."

When Chen Tanyan heard his daughter's words, the defenses in his heart seemed to be touched.

He raised his head, looked at Chen Qiyu's determined eyes and his daughter's expectant face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He knew that the family had been torn apart for too long because of his eldest brother's affairs, and it was time to make a change.

So, he said in a deep voice: "Well, since you have obtained the qualification of the Twelve Riders, I will agree to your request. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for the release of your eldest brother."

Chen Qiyu's eyes flashed with ecstasy when he heard this. He stood up, bowed deeply to his father, and said excitedly: "Thank you, father! I will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations!"

Ye Guyan also showed a relieved smile. She hugged Chen Shuyin tightly, as if she saw hope for the future.

Chen Shuyin clapped her hands happily, knowing that she would be able to play with her big brother soon.

Chen Tanyan felt a little relieved when he saw the happy faces of his children.
