Both worlds are like dreams

"Can we go back now?" Xue Huang suddenly perked up.

Wei Yunzhou nodded.

Hua Yu was a little reluctant to hear this, "Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Aunt, if you don't want us to leave, you can go with us. But I'm afraid you won't want to leave General Lu."

Hua Yu glared at her and said, "You are becoming more and more disrespectful."

"As your family member, I am more concerned about your life-long affairs." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Hua Yu had no choice but to look at Wei Yunzhou, "Second Senior Brother, can you take care of her?"

Wei Yunzhou unexpectedly said, "She is right."

When these words came out, even Xue Huang was surprised that her second uncle could still stand on her side. But after thinking about it carefully, Xue Huang could understand that after this farewell, she didn't know when she would see him again.

When Hua Yu asked to leave the valley, she made her grandfather angry for a long time. They didn't understand her at the time, but they all hoped that she would be fine.

The incident at the Bugui Mountain also confirmed to them that Hua Yu had not made a mistake in choosing the right person. Lu Wenxuan clearly had feelings for her, but he did not want to drag her down due to his responsibility.

Now that everything is over, the two of them are still so stubborn, which makes them anxious.

Xue Huang rolled her eyes and immediately came up with an idea, "Second Uncle, last time I told Brother Qinglan that I would hold a martial arts competition to find a husband for my aunt. Since you are here, why don't you take charge and choose a good husband for my aunt."

"Okay." Wei Yunzhou said happily.

Xue Huang looked at Gu Qinglan, "Brother Qinglan, what do you think?"

"Very good."

Hua Yu was unwilling, "What's good? Who said I want to compete in martial arts to win a husband?"

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Aunt, don't I know what you are thinking? Don't worry, the martial arts competition is just a cover, the purpose is to let General Lu take the stage."

Hua Yu frowned, "But..."

"It's settled," Xuehuang pulled Gu Qinglan up, "Let's go find General Lu." After saying that, she dragged him away.

Wei Yunzhou said, "Just listen to her. Otherwise, I will have to put a sword on Lu Wenxuan's neck and make him marry you."

Hua Yu twitched her lips. She knew Wei Yunzhou could do this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Xue Huang is so bold because of you."

Wei Yunzhou did not dare to take credit for it. Xue Huang behaved like this entirely because of Rong Yu's connivance, but he did not deny that he had contributed to it.

After Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan found Lu Wenxuan, they directly stated their purpose.

Lu Wenxuan’s face was suddenly full of surprise, “What?”

"A martial arts competition to find a husband!" Xue Huang said with a smile. "Didn't we say at the time that since General Lu has no affection for my aunt, then we naturally have to choose a suitable husband for her."

"Did Hua Yu also agree?" Lu Wenxuan asked with a frown.

"Of course." Xue Huang smiled. "Otherwise we wouldn't have come to see General Lu. The day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I heard that a lantern festival is held on this day every month. It was temporarily closed due to the plague. I came here to ask the general to lift the ban."

Gu Qinglan also said: "Using the Lantern Festival to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride can make the people lively and kill two birds with one stone."

"But the contest to choose a bride is a mixed bag of candidates. If someone's temperament doesn't match Mrs. Hua's, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?" Lu Wenxuan asked.

"In our Guigu Sect, we have always resolved issues with force, and whoever wins has the final say." Xue Huang smiled meaningfully.

Lawrence Lu frowned slightly, “This is inappropriate.”

"What's wrong?" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows.

"What if...what if Madam can't beat the other party? Wouldn't she be wronged?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "General Lu, if you don't want to see my aunt suffer, then go up to the arena."

Lu Wenxuan was silent.

"Or, you can go and check for her."

Gu Qinglan said, "General Lu, you only have a few decades to live. How lucky you are if you can find someone to walk with you. Why waste your time?"

"Brother Qinglan, let's go." Xuehuang pulled him over, "Don't embarrass General Lu."

After Xue Huang and Gu Qinglan left, Lu Wenxuan was so upset that he didn't see him in the tent. He came to Shui Mo Zhai soon and wanted to ask Hua Yu in person whether this was her true thought. But when he reached the door, he hesitated.

Wei Yunzhou happened to come out with Xu Yao. Seeing their cold eyes, Lu Wenxuan greeted them, then said he was just passing by and left in a hurry.

Hua Yu came out from behind and looked at the departing figure with a complicated look in her eyes. Since he cared about her, why didn't he say it?

Wei Yunzhou glanced at Hua Yu and saw that her eyes were full of desolation, as if she was disappointed in him. He said, "Don't see him these days," and then walked away with a cold face.

Xu Yao mocked him, "You actually worry about these things."

Wei Yunzhou thought that he didn't want to care, but there was nothing he could do. Everyone in his Guiguzi sect had the same problem: they protected their own people.

Time quickly came to two days later, and Muhua City was decorated with lights and brightly lit.

On the streets, vendors’ calls are louder than before.

Men, women, old and young all held lanterns, and children ran around in the streets, creating a joyful atmosphere.

At this time, many people ran to the door of Shuimozhai. The news that Hua Yu was going to hold a martial arts competition to win a bride had spread all over Muhua City. The people were also very puzzled. Wasn't it said that the owner of Shuimozhai was deeply in love with General Lu? Why was there a martial arts competition here to win a bride? So most people rushed to watch the fun.

A stage was set up in front of Shui Mo Zhai, and a lion dance team was invited to create a lively atmosphere.

Looking at the layers of people surrounding below, Hua Yu's eyes were always dim, until the figure holding a spear rode his horse to Shui Mo Zhai, her eyes lit up.

But he didn't seem to have any intention of going on stage. He just bowed to Xue Huang and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "It seems that General Lu is here to check today."

Hua Yu's eyes darkened instantly, and he felt lost and angry. This taciturn guy was really infuriating.

Xue Huang clapped her hands, looked at the manager downstairs, and gave him a look.

The manager immediately understood and signaled the lion dance team to withdraw, then stepped forward to announce the rules, "Thank you all for your support. Today, Shui Mo Zhai is holding a martial arts competition to find a husband for Madam Hua. Anyone who knows martial arts and is under the age of 35 can come on stage to compete, and the final champion can marry Madam Hua. Now, the competition begins!"

With the sound of a gong, the martial arts competition to win a bride officially began, but after an incense stick of time had passed, no one in the crowd came up on stage.
