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

When they reached the gate of Xiao's house, the guard of honor slowly stopped, and the two were carefully helped down from the sedan chair by Erkang and Ertai. Then, they gently lifted the veil on their heads and looked up, only to see that their father Xiao Zhihang, grandfather Du Chengyu, grandmother Hua Yan, uncle Du Xueyang, aunt Yang Anxia, ​​cousin Du Shaoan, sister-in-law, nephew and others were already standing there in an orderly manner.

Not only that, Xia's maternal grandfather Xia Shi, maternal grandmother Gu Qingyou, grandmaster Cen Po, master Li Xiangyi, uncle Di Feisheng, senior brother Fang Duobing, uncle Duanmu, and even a large group of people including Ling Wanqi and Xiaoxiao who they had just met not long ago, were all waiting at the gate, eagerly awaiting their return.

When they saw Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei returning home, everyone's face was filled with a brilliant smile, and their eyes were staring at them intently.

This scene made Xiaoyanzi's heart surge with an indescribable feeling of tenderness. Unconsciously, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears of extreme emotion, but at the same time, she could not suppress the slight upward curl of her lips.

Ziwei smiled and slowly looked at the many relatives and friends in front of her. Although most of them showed concern for her because of Xiaoyanzi, it did not affect her happiness at all. After all, her Xiaoyanzi was such an excellent and kind person. She not only brought her endless laughter, but also won everyone's love with her unique charm. The attention and love from Xiaoyanzi even benefited her. For this, Ziwei only felt deep gratitude in her heart. How could she have the slightest jealousy?

At this time, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, dressed in gorgeous wedding dresses, were like two fairies descending from the sky. Surrounded by people, they were happily welcomed back home - the cozy place that belonged to them in the Xiao Mansion. As soon as they stepped into the gate, they were greeted by red silk and large red lanterns hanging high, which decorated the entire Xiao Mansion like a dream palace, filled with a warm, cheerful and festive atmosphere.

Erkang and Ertai followed closely behind Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, their faces full of joy. Thinking back to the unique bride-receiving ceremony they had experienced before, they had finally passed the many levels set by their brother-in-law and bridesmaids and successfully won the beauty! Now thinking about it, those difficulties and tests have become interesting embellishments in this beautiful memory. At this moment, the two couldn't help but think to themselves: After all these twists and turns, they should have become the real sons-in-law of the Xiao family, right?

However, just as they took a few steps forward with joy, they suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked by a group of people. Looking closely, they found that it was Li Xiangyi, Di Feisheng, Fang Duobing, Duanmu Qing, Du Shaoan, Yongqi, Xiao Feng, Liu Qing, Benjamin, Huo Yuqi and other friends standing there with smiles on their faces, as if they had planned it in advance.

"You...what on earth do you mean by this?" Ertai swallowed hard, his eyes full of doubt and uneasiness, quickly scanning the people in front of him. For some reason, he felt a surge of panic in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

At this time, Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng looked at each other, and they both thought: they are already over 50 years old, and have already entered the ranks of middle-aged people. Their minds and attitudes towards life are much more mature and stable than when they were young. If they still haggle with others like a child, it would be really unmannerly. So, after some thought, they tacitly decided to withdraw from this "difficult team" that made Ertai nervous.

At the same time, Duanmu Qing and Fang Duobing also exchanged glances. Seeing Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng leave one after another, and looking at the remaining people present, they were not young. The precipitation of years made them learn tolerance and understanding. After a sigh, they also silently chose to withdraw from this farce.

However, just before Fang Duobing turned and left, he quietly cast a meaningful look at his apprentice; almost at the same time, Duanmu Qing also gave his son a very suggestive look. At this moment, Huo Yuqi, who received the double pressure from his master and father, felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing on him, and the whole person was shrouded by an invisible burden.

His originally gentle gaze instantly became extremely sharp, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must make things difficult for Erkang and Ertai, the two guys who dared to kidnap their "little cabbage"!

So, when Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei happily stepped into the extremely familiar room, and sat down leisurely to enjoy the delicious food and wine and eat to fill their stomachs, their respective husbands were in a difficult test.

At this moment, the five men, Yongqi, Xiao Feng, Benjamin, Liu Qing and Huo Yuqi, gathered together, whispering to each other, racking their brains to plan how to create difficulties and set up obstacles for the grooms.

On the other side, Erkang, Ertai and the only remaining best man Luo Junchen looked at each other and couldn't help but smile helplessly and bitterly at the same time. Who could have expected that they had just arrived at the Xiao Mansion not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, only one of the original four best men was left! What was even more ridiculous was that in the moment when they turned their heads slightly, the three best men actually chose to "rebel" without hesitation and joined the camp that embarrassed the groom.

Liu Qing was the first to step forward, with a menacing posture, and shouted to Erkang: "The first level, Erkang, challenge me. If you can withstand my attack and hold on for the next one stick of incense, then you will pass this level."

Then, Huo Yuqi, who was standing beside him, said to Ertai, "Ertai, if you can defeat me within the time limit of one stick of incense, you will pass this level."

Huo Yuqi and the others sat together, and after careful consideration, they finally unanimously decided to set the first stage as a martial arts competition. After all, this would not only show the strength and style of the grooms, but also add some excitement to the entire wedding.

However, despite his extraordinary skills, Erkang did not come from a famous and upright family in the martial arts world, and his martial arts skills were indeed slightly inferior to those of Xiaoyanzi, Ertai, Liu Qing, Liu Hong and others.

As for Ertai, he was a disciple of Di Feisheng, a famous master. Huo Yuqi was also a disciple of the famous Fang Duobing, and both of them had profound martial arts attainments. However, even so, Huo Yuqi knew that there was still some gap between him and Ertai. Because of this, everyone's expectations and requirements for Erkang and Ertai were naturally different.

At this moment, the spacious courtyard was crowded with people, it was so lively! In addition to the relatives and friends who came to congratulate, there were also many people from various martial arts schools. These people had heard about the great joy of the martial arts leader and came to congratulate him. Now that they heard that they were going to watch the grooms' martial arts competition, everyone seemed extremely excited, whispering and talking about it.

Erkang and Ertai knew that many eyes were watching them at the moment, and it would be difficult to explain if they did not fight. So Erkang secretly made up his mind that he must hold on for an incense stick of time no matter what, and must not lose Ziwei's face in front of everyone. And Ertai thought in his heart that while his master was present, he must quickly defeat Huo Yuqi, so as to win glory for his master and also make Xiaoyanzi proud.

Liu Qing and Huo Yuqi were also filled with fighting spirit, and their eyes, full of fighting spirit, met, as if sparks could be created. After some discussion, the four finally reached a consensus and decided to go to an open area to start this long-awaited martial arts competition.

Before long, dozens of people followed them and rushed to the arena. They were all excited and eager to witness the wonderful duel between Erkang and Liu Qing, and between Ertai and Huo Yuqi.

At this moment, the scene in the house was quite different. Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were enjoying the food and wine leisurely, sometimes eating heartily, sometimes drinking together, chatting with each other from time to time, laughing and talking one after another, the atmosphere was very lively. They ate until their bellies were full and drank until their faces were slightly red. If Du Xueyin hadn't specially sent someone to keep a close eye on them, I'm afraid the two of them would have fallen asleep after eating and drinking.

Liu Hong was always restless. When she heard the grooms were going to compete, she was even more excited. She rushed to the front to join in the fun. Time passed by minute by minute. After about an incense stick of time, Liu Hong ran back to the house with a happy face and announced the final result of the competition to the sisters in the house happily.

She said with great joy, "Guess what? Erkang's training in the past few years has not been in vain! When he fought with my brother Liu Qing, it was a close fight. What's more amazing is that in just an incense stick of time, he almost injured my brother. He is worthy of being the emperor's personal guard, Fu Erkang. He is really very skilled."

"Ertai is also very good. His wonderful duel with Huo Yuqi was simply dazzling. Ertai has a strong posture and his movements are smooth and flowing. Facing Huo Yuqi's fierce moves, he seems to be at ease and can deal with them easily. No matter how Huo Yuqi attacks, Ertai can always react quickly and cleverly. The two seem to be evenly matched, but in the end, Ertai is the better.

In my opinion, Ertai's martial arts skills have obviously improved. Perhaps even our Princess Xiaoyanzi may not be his opponent now."

As soon as Liu Hong stepped into the room, she couldn't wait to share with everyone the fierce competition she had just witnessed, her excitement was beyond words. She described every wonderful moment vividly, and at the end, she even winked at Xiaoyanzi mischievously.

Xiaoyanzi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Her face was full of pride. She muttered unconvincedly, "Ertai is diligent in practicing martial arts, but I am not lazy either! Humph, even if my martial arts skills are slightly inferior to his, so what? He still has to listen to me obediently.

If he dares to bully me, as long as I give an order, everyone in the palace or in the martial arts world will help me teach him a lesson. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. I want to see how he can withstand the siege of so many people alone! "
