Cheat: Only children make choices! I want them all

The next morning, golden light shone on the windowsill, birds chirped outside, and the streets were bustling with people, trading and making a lively scene...

Ye Lingtian brought Huang Rong to Zhongdu City and started strolling around.

Zhongdu is a famous historical city. It was the capital of the Jin Dynasty. Even the Song Dynasty's Bianjing and Xindu Lin'an couldn't compare to this place in terms of prosperity...

The city is filled with tall buildings, painted pavilions, wine shops, and teahouses! Most of the travelers are newlyweds, wearing fine clothes and finery! In the surrounding shops, counters display rare treasures! Streetside post stations are filled with carriages and fine horses! A scene of prosperity abounds!

Huang Rong mostly stayed on Peach Blossom Island and rarely saw such a prosperous place. She was quite surprised for a moment!

However, Ye Lingtian seemed much calmer. In terms of prosperity, even the ten central capitals today could not compare to a city district in the future!

Only in later generations, there are really constant flows of traffic and people coming and going!

Even crossing the street requires scrambling! Crowds of people, even on the edge of their seats, are everywhere in shopping malls.

After walking around the street with Huang Rong, I saw a lively scene ahead.

A group of people gathered around, all looking at one place, no one knew what they were looking at!

Ye Lingtian and Huang Rong moved closer out of curiosity, and only then did they see a man and a woman in an open field!

The man was about forty or fifty years old, with a strong waist and broad shoulders, and a strong physique, but unfortunately his face showed signs of old age, his hair and beard were white, and wrinkles were forming...

Next to the man was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She was beautiful and graceful, but her face had a hint of weariness and she looked a little tired...

Beside the two of them stood a silk banner with four large characters written on it - Martial Arts Contest to Win a Bride!

The girl whispered a few words to the man, and then saw the man nodded.

Then the man stood up, looked around, and shouted with full energy, "My surname is Mu and my given name is Yi. I'm from Shandong. I'm passing through Daxing Prefecture. I'm not seeking fame or profit. I'm here just to visit a friend..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingtian already knew what was going on. This so-called friend must be the man's first wife, Bao Xiruo, and the man and woman were obviously Mu Nianci and Yang Tiexin, who went by the alias Mu Yi...

As Yang Tiexin spoke, he extended his palm and gestured towards the two weapons under the brocade banner. He continued, "...and an old friend. I am already old, but my daughter has reached marriage age and remains unengaged. She once made a wish, not seeking a wealthy husband, but only a man of exceptional martial arts skills. So, I'm daring to hold a martial arts competition here to find a husband. Any unmarried man around twenty years old who can defeat my daughter in a single blow or kick will be betrothed to me. If he's from Shandong or Liangzhe, it's even better. My daughter and I have traveled seven different ways, from south to north, but unfortunately, all the famous heroes are already married, and there are too few young heroes for me to care about, so we've never found a good match..."

Having said that, Yang Tiexin paused, clasped his fists, and looked around, saying, "Daxing Prefecture is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere, and there must be many experts and heroes. I have acted rudely, so please forgive me! Now, heroes, please come on stage and fight with my daughter..."

Many people in the audience were attracted by Mu Nianci's beauty and wanted to challenge her on stage. However, after taking another look at Yang Tiexin, they were suppressed by the other party's terrifying aura.

The audience was buzzing with conversation, and some street thugs were even pointing at Mu Nianci, commenting and teasing her...

By this time, the sky had gradually grown darker, gloomy clouds covered the sky, and the north wind gradually grew stronger. Yang Tiexin looked at the sky, then at the crowd, and found that no one had stepped forward to fight. He shook his head in disappointment and muttered to himself, "It seems that there will be another heavy snow in the blink of an eye! Alas, the sky seemed to be like this that day..."

He turned around, pulled up the flagpole, and was about to roll up the silk banner with the words "Martial Arts Competition to Seek a Bride" written on it, when suddenly two voices came from the crowd at the same time: "Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and after a moment they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It turned out that the people who were shouting were a fat old man with big ears and a grinning monk!

The fat old man heard the whisper and looked slightly angry: "What are you all laughing at! She wants to have a martial arts competition to find a husband. I am still unmarried, so how can I not compete?"

At this time, the monk laughed and said, "Hehe! You old man, she's just a young lady. Even if you win the duel, what good will it do? Do you think you can marry her and let her live as a widow?"

The fat man said angrily: "Then what are you, a stinky monk, doing here?"

The monk smiled and replied, "This girl is so beautiful! If I could marry her, I would immediately return to secular life..."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this!

The woman in the field, however, was furious at this time. These people looked down on her too much, and she had to teach these scoundrels a lesson!

Then he tore off his cloak and was about to go forward and attack!

But at this time, the man reached out and grabbed the woman's shoulder, shook his head, signaling her to stay calm, and then put the banner back into the ground.

On the other side, the monk and the fat old man were still arguing, clamoring to compete with the woman first!

The crowd gathered around to watch the fun, laughing and cheering, "How about you two compete first? Whoever wins goes first!"

A young man is better than a strong man. When the monk heard this, he was immediately moved and shouted loudly: "Good!"

Then he swung a punch and hit the fat old man! But the fat old man was not hit. He dodged to the side, avoiding the punch, and also used his strength to fight back!

The monk uses Shaolin Arhat Fist, while the fat old man uses Five Elements Fist!

Both of them used external boxing techniques, and the power was only average.

The monk, relying on his youth and agility, harassed the old man with his high and low movements. However, the fat old man was calm and steady, and was able to withstand the monk's attacks.

The two men fought for dozens of rounds. The monk saw the opportunity, rushed forward, and hit the fat old man three times on the waist and abdomen, bang, bang, bang. The fat old man groaned three times, endured the pain, raised his right arm, clenched his fist and hit the monk's forehead with a heavy hammer!

The monk felt so much pain that he fell to the ground. After a moment of daze, his face turned fierce. He suddenly pulled out a short knife from his sleeve and chopped it towards the fat old man's calf!

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise!

The fat old man's face changed, he quickly stood up and stepped back, stretched out his hand to his waist, and pulled out an iron whip!

It turns out that both of them had a hidden trick. Now with weapons in hand and murderous intent aroused, both of them were fighting with blood-red eyes!

In a flash, the iron whip and the dagger collided, making a crackling sound!

When the people around saw the two fighting, they stood aside and watched the show. When they saw the thrilling moves, they cheered, but they honestly took a few steps back, for fear of being accidentally affected!

Ye Lingtian and Huang Rong, holding popcorn in their hands, were also watching with great interest.

Huang Rong said, "Those two have average martial arts skills, but when they fight, their moves are fierce..."

Ye Lingtian said, "They should be considered veterans of the martial arts world. They know that the martial world is dangerous and that if they show mercy to their enemies, they will be in danger. So they both attacked with all their strength."
