New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

As soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, the whole audience exploded and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

"A ring match?" someone exclaimed.

"How do we fight this?" another person frowned and said worriedly.

"We finally managed to hold on to the end, but were defeated by a master who took the first place directly. Isn't that too much of a bully?" someone complained angrily.

"Isn't it? If there is a master who keeps secluded from the world and watches those people fighting and guarding the ring, and only comes out on the tenth day to attack the ring champion who has been guarding the ring for several days, isn't that too much? This is not fair." Everyone echoed, feeling excited.

"Yes, it's unfair. It's too easy for people to find loopholes." Someone said indignantly.

When the Jianghu knights heard about this rule, they all started to discuss it. When they heard about this kind of ring system, everyone couldn't help but think of the most terrible possibility. If a powerful person deliberately hides his strength and waits until the last day to challenge the ring master, then all those who have worked hard to defend the ring will fail. Such a rule will undoubtedly make people feel unfair because it gives some people an unfair advantage. Everyone began to question whether this rule is reasonable, worrying that such a competition system may lead to unfair competition and malicious manipulation.

After all, the champion needs to face attacks from all directions and deal with challenges from different players. It would be great if he could successfully defend the ring, but if he fails at the last minute when he is exhausted and attacked by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't it be easy to have a mental disorder? This is really unfair!

The discussion among the audience became louder and louder, like a surging tide, and even the people watching the excitement in the surrounding inns were attracted and couldn't help but join in the discussion. Everyone generally believed that this way of competition had great uncertainty and risks, and it seemed unfair to the contestants.

Even Xiaoyanzi and the others couldn't help but frown, their hearts full of doubts and confusion. Because before, it was clearly said that the competition would be a battle between multiple people, and the winner would be decided through fierce competition, but now it was suddenly changed to a ring-type competition. This sudden change made them confused.

At this moment, before Mr. Lin on the stage could open his mouth to explain, he heard the doubtful voices of several clan leaders around him. Their voices were filled with some worry and doubt, and they were obviously aware of the problems that this competition rule might bring. Especially those shameless people, they might take advantage of the tired state of the champion and seize the championship in one fell swoop.

"Leader, this competition is probably not appropriate, right?" Master Guangde, who was wearing a Buddhist robe and had a slightly frown on his upright face, could not help but ask. There were nine scars from the ordination on his bald head, and his slender fingers were twisting the Buddhist beads one by one, as if he was thinking about something.

The leader of the Gun Sect, Lu Yao, couldn't help but agree: "Yes, we didn't expect that the martial arts conference would adopt such a competition system."

There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

This martial arts conference was convened by Mr. Lin alone. Although several other clan leaders learned the news and sent people to prepare for the competition, they did not ask too much about the rules of the competition because they originally expected that the competition method of the martial arts conference would be the same as in the past, that is, relying on personal strength to compete for the championship. However, the sudden appearance of this ring competition system surprised them.

Seeing that everyone was questioning him, Mr. Lin could not help but chuckle. He then used his internal strength and his loud voice spread throughout Yunzhou City, loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

"Heroes, please listen to me. This competition is a brand new experience for the heroes. I know exactly what you are worried about.

Please rest assured that I will never give those who are lucky enough to take advantage of me. Ten days later, when the four champions accept the challenge of the last person, they will have a day to rest instead of fighting the last person immediately after the fight. In this way, they can meet the challenge of the last person in the best condition and with the fullest spirit.

After the final champion is determined, the four will compete in pairs in the afternoon. After two people are selected from the four, the final battle will begin. All this requires time to settle. Only in this way can the most outstanding and powerful person be determined to become our new leader of the martial arts world. In the future, he will lead all heroes to deal with those cunning Japanese pirates.

I guess everyone is looking forward to witnessing that miraculous moment, right? "

Almost the entire Yunzhou City heard the loud voice of Mr. Lin, and everyone was silent. After all, fighting in the ring is indeed a way to prove one's strength.

Seeing that those people had nothing to say, Mr. Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this idea was something he came up with on the spur of the moment, and he was worried that these people would not agree.

He coughed lightly twice, then nodded to a woman not far away, indicating that the next matter would be left to her.

The woman was wearing a light blue long dress with a front opening, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the blue sky and white clouds. Her face was as delicate as a painting, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed a unique charm. Her red lips were slightly raised, as if she was smiling, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling.

She performed her Qinggong skill leisurely, and flew to the center of the arena as light as a swallow. She stood firmly, facing the crowd, chuckled, and a clear and pleasant voice rang out: "Hello, contestants. I am Yunyan, the host of the martial arts conference. Next, let's see which knight will be the first to go on stage? Let's look forward to it."

Her voice seemed to come from a distant valley, like a clear mountain spring, gurgling and pleasant to the ear. Not only was her voice loud, but every word was clearly audible, and even from a great distance, one could hear it clearly. At the same time, her voice was soft, as warm as a spring breeze, and would not cause any discomfort or disturbance to anyone.

It was obvious that she, like Mr. Lin, had skillfully used her internal force, gathering it in her throat, and then using it to make sounds. In this way, her voice could be heard throughout the entire Yunzhou City, ensuring that everyone could hear what she said. This technique of making sounds with internal force demonstrated her deep internal force cultivation and superb skills, which was amazing.

"Oh, it's Miss Yunyan." When someone saw the girl above appear, they couldn't help but exclaimed, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Some people didn't know the girl above, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Miss Yunyan? Who is she? Is she famous?"

When the man heard the question, he couldn't help but look back. Seeing that it was someone he didn't know, he kindly explained, "Ms. Yunyan is the only daughter of the leader of the Sword Sect. She has been doted on since she was a child. Because she has a unique voice and can skillfully gather her internal energy in her throat, people in the entire city can hear her speak. That's why Miss Yunyan has participated in similar activities many times and serves as the host."

He paused and continued, "Moreover, Miss Yunyan not only has a nice voice, but also a good singing voice. I once heard Miss Yunyan sing by chance, and her leisurely and graceful voice made those who heard it remember it for many years.

Normally, Miss Yunyan speaks in a melodious and sweet voice, just like singing. When she hosts an event, she can also liven up the atmosphere. In addition, she has a cheerful personality, which makes her very likable. However, don't be fooled by her beautiful appearance and the fact that she does this kind of hosting work. She has excellent martial arts skills. If anyone offends her, she will attack them without mercy.

Moreover, Miss Yunyan doesn't host all activities. It's really hard to meet Miss Yunyan and listen to her hosting an event. So we are so lucky to meet Miss Yunyan today! Even if we don't participate in the competition, it's worth it. This Yunzhou City is really worth the trip."

As the man spoke, he couldn't help but smile, obviously feeling lucky to meet Miss Yunyan today. He smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to see Miss Yunyan's performance. After hearing what he said, the people around him also showed their expectations, and began to talk about Miss Yunyan's various merits.

"It's her? Why is she here?"

On the second floor of the inn, Huo Yuqi looked at the familiar figure on the stage, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but murmur.

"Who is she? Yuqi, tell me quickly!" Xiaoyanzi asked curiously.

Huo Yuqi came back to her senses and explained with a smile: "Her name is Miss Yunyan. She has a sweet and melodious voice. She can integrate her inner strength into her throat and make a loud but not harsh sound. She often participates in such activities and serves as the host."

Xiaoyanzi nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is, no wonder her voice doesn't sound harsh at all."

The others also nodded in approval.

At this time, the inn was very lively, and Xiaoyanzi and her group of fifteen people occupied the second floor. This second floor was very close to the arena not far away, so they could watch the competition up close.

The fifteen of them were divided into four groups, each occupying a window to watch the game. Xiaoyanzi, Ertai, Ziwei, Erkang and Huo Yuqi gathered at one window and happened to hear Huo Yuqi's mumbling.

Xiaoyanzi looked at Yunyan who was talking eloquently in the audience and couldn't help but sigh: "She is so beautiful and has a nice voice. It makes people feel very comfortable. However, Yuqi, I always feel that something happened between you and her."

Even though Huo Yuqi was a few years older than her, she was not used to calling him brother, so she just addressed him by his name. As she spoke, Xiaoyanzi stared at Huo Yuqi. They had spent three years together when they were young, so she was very familiar with some of Huo Yuqi's personality traits.

For example, when he is unnatural, his eyes will be erratic.

Ertai also noticed it, and like Xiaoyanzi, he stared at him closely, waiting for him to tell the truth.

Huo Yuqi's eyes were wandering. She didn't dare to look the two of them in the eye and didn't want to answer. But when she saw that they were staring at her, her cheeks flushed.

But seeing that they were all looking at him with curiosity, he thought about it and realized that he couldn't avoid it, so he started talking about his brief contact with the girl Yunyan.

After Huo Yuqi's brief explanation, Xiaoyanzi and the others suddenly realized that this was the case! It turned out that all this was just a small misunderstanding.

Three years ago, Huo Yuqi, a young and high-spirited man, embarked on a journey alone with full of enthusiasm. On the way, he accidentally passed by a prosperous town, where a family was holding a grand ceremony of marrying a bride with a ball.

On the stage, the bride was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red veil on her head. The thick red cloth covered her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance. But just from her graceful figure and the delicate outline that was vaguely visible under the veil, one could imagine that she must be extremely beautiful.

Many knights who passed by were attracted by her. In addition, when they heard that the bride was the daughter of the richest man in the town, countless heroes flocked to her. They were eager to catch the hydrangea that symbolized love and marry her.

Huo Yuqi originally planned to continue on his way, but the crowd was too enthusiastic and excited, surrounding him and making it difficult for him to escape. So he decided to stop and stay to join in the fun and see who would win the bride-hunting ceremony.

There were two girls standing on the stage, one in a wedding dress and the other with a beautiful face. The beautiful girl had a sweet voice and spoke briskly, and her voice could easily spread throughout the city, which was amazing. Huo Yuqi was secretly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that there was such a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in this small town, and a girl with such excellent martial arts.

Perhaps his curiosity was too obvious, and he accidentally made eye contact with the woman who called herself Miss Yunyan. Then, something amazing happened. Miss Yunyan whispered a few words in the bride's ear, and then guided the bride to throw the embroidered ball in her hand towards him.

Huo Yuqi was shocked and dodged sideways. However, the hydrangea seemed to have eyes and flew straight towards him. At the critical moment, a handsome scholar behind him caught the hydrangea. The scholar was so happy that he almost cried. Seeing this scene, Huo Yuqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want to marry a wife home for no reason.

He raised his head and looked at the stage with a little annoyance, but was surprised to find that the girl was looking at him with surprise, with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

Obviously unable to understand why he would refuse the hydrangea thrown in front of him, she subconsciously murmured, "How could this be?"

Huo Yuqi glared at her with some dissatisfaction. Fearing that trouble would arise again, she turned around and left without staying any longer. She only heard bursts of laughter coming from behind, and everyone said that they wanted to see the scholar and the bride get married.

After hearing this little story, Xiaoyanzi and others could not help but look at each other in surprise. It turned out that there was such a little episode between the two of them.

However, thinking about it, it's a bit ridiculous. Maybe it was because Huo Yuqi was staring at the stage at the beginning, which made Miss Yunyan think that he was interested in the bride and thought he was good-looking, so she decided to make the two of them a couple.

"Pfft..."

Xiaoyanzi and the others chuckled, but seeing Huo Yuqi's depressed expression, they did not dare to laugh out loud and turned around to continue looking at the audience.
