They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

"Who knows."

Su Qingge had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't tell her husband.

"For these, you, my husband, need to find the truth."

"Anyway, the battle will begin tomorrow. I believe my husband will be able to find the truth."

After a night's rest, the so-called "martial arts competition to win a bride" officially began the next morning.

Gu Nian made some disguises, took the name Su Gu, and came to the scene.

I have to say that Tingyu Pavilion is worthy of being the richest force under the Four Pillars, and the scene is well arranged.

Both the huge arena and the surrounding audience seats were well arranged.

In Gu Nian's eyes, this looked quite similar to the stadiums he remembered.

It would be a waste to use such a large venue just to hold this one competition.

"After this place becomes idle, we can hold some martial arts competitions here to make a profit."

"Besides that, it can also be rented out and used as a communication venue for small sects."

Gu Nian subconsciously expressed his thoughts.

"This way, not only can Tingyu Pavilion make a profit, but it can also enhance its prestige. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

However, this is just Gu Nian's idea.

In fact, Tingyu Pavilion has nothing to do with Gu Nian. Even if Gu Nian brought Mu Tingyu back in the end, he had no intention of keeping Tingyu Pavilion in his hands.

Naturally, he wouldn't care what Tingyu Pavilion would do.

however.

The person from Tingyu Pavilion who was helping Gu Nian register for entry smiled and said after hearing what Gu Nian said.

"This young man is quite clever. I heard the Pavilion Master say a few words, and this is indeed how it was arranged here."

"It would be a waste to use such a large venue just for a martial arts competition. It does have other uses later."

Hear this.

Gu Nian frowned,

"After this competition, I'm afraid your Tingyu Pavilion will become someone else's power. I'm afraid you won't have the final say on how this place is used, right?"

Although the reward from Tingyu Pavilion this time is only Mu Tingyu.

But it is obvious that no matter which force wins, they will not miss the opportunity to take Tingyu Pavilion into their possession.

Tingyu Pavilion had indeed offended the Su family, but as long as they disbanded Tingyu Pavilion and incorporated it into their own forces, they would still be loyal to the Su family.

Then, the Su family should not care about it.

After all, that is the Su family, one of the four pillars, and Tingyu Pavilion is just a small force after all. The Su family should not keep a close eye on Tingyu Pavilion.

As for the Jun family’s problem?

With the current strength of the Su family, they naturally will not be afraid of the Jun family. The Su family will definitely not allow the Jun family to take action against those who have defected to their forces, and will naturally protect that faction.

In short, after this time, Tingyu Pavilion cannot be saved no matter what.

However, this person from Tingyu Pavilion, or rather a high-level priest, actually arranged the next affairs of Tingyu Pavilion as if it were a matter of course.

It seemed that she was certain that Tingyu Pavilion would not be in any crisis.

There's something wrong with that.

After hearing what Gu Nian said, the priest realized that he had broken his promise, so he quickly shut his mouth and didn't say another word to Gu Nian.

According to the character of this worshipper, Gu Nian should have been driven away.

But she knew very well that Dongjun's husband had disguised himself and even changed his name to participate in this competition.

With so many people, who knows which one is Dongjun’s husband?

If you offend the wrong person, you're done for.

I would rather let it go than gamble on that one chance.

Helpless, the priest just prayed in his heart that Gu Nian would not guess anything, and decided to let Gu Nian go.

But Gu Nian already had doubts in his heart, so how could it be revealed so easily?

then.

He entered the venue first, keeping his eyes on the direction of the entrance.

When everyone had come in, the priest was about to leave with the registration form.

Gu Nian changed his clothes and made some changes to his appearance. He acted very anxious and walked towards the priest.

When the two were about to pass by each other, Gu Nian "accidentally" bumped into the worshiper, causing the registration form in the worshiper's hand to fall to the ground.

"I'm so sorry, I'll help you pick it up."

Gu Nian apologized fearfully, then hurriedly leaned over and pretended to help pick up the registration form, but he took the opportunity to take a look at all the names on the registration form.

The information on this registration form is recorded in great detail.

From name, to cultivation level, to sect origin, everything is recorded.

This made it easier for Gu Nian to confirm his suspicions.

Gu Nian searched around and finally found the name he was looking for.

After handing the registration form to the worshiper, Gu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the worshiper who glared at him and then hurried away.

It's really a bit unreasonable.

It’s really strange that the force that threatened Tingyu Pavilion before has also come.

Although according to the current situation, Tingyu Pavilion will inevitably find a force stronger than that party in order to suppress that force and make the other party give up the idea of ​​​​Tingyu Pavilion.

It was also reasonable for that force to send people to participate in this competition, win the final victory in a fair and open manner, and take over Tingyu Pavilion without any blame.

but.

Is Tingyu Pavilion really so generous?

Let your enemies come to participate in this competition and give them a chance to succeed?

If Gu Nian was from Tingyu Pavilion, he would definitely not be so generous.

What's more, that person's strength has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, but his age is less than 30 years old.

This doesn't seem like something that a small force can cultivate.

This kind of genius would be the best candidate for training in a second-rate force. How could he appear in a third-rate small force?

In short.

There's something strange about that name and that force on this list.

After returning to his seat, Gu Nian continued to ponder as he watched the battle that had already begun on the ring.

With his cultivation level at the early stage of Nascent Soul Realm, he was already able to overpower the geniuses from various sects.

In other words, if there were no accidents, that person would definitely win and take Mu Tingyu away.

But what if that person, or even that force, was originally a force secretly cultivated by Tingyu Pavilion?

Now, that person became Tingyu Pavilion’s last insurance.

The threat to Tingyu Pavilion this time became the best way to attract people from all sides.

After all, Tingyu Pavilion has such strong financial resources that even first-rate sects would be tempted by it.

In order to take over Tingyu Pavilion as soon as their disciples won, these forces even sent elders, and some forces even sent their sect leaders.

If this is caught in one fell swoop...

Hiss...can't it be true?

Gu Nian vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed the purpose of Tingyu Pavilion.

Time passed, and soon it was time for Gu Nian to take the stage.

Gu Nian had no interest in such a battle at all.

After all, those who came to participate were all young people from first- and second-rate forces. Although their strength was not bad, they were at most at the Golden Core Realm, and many of them were still at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Gu Nian is a person in the Nascent Soul stage, so in such an occasion, he basically just kills people indiscriminately.

But Gu Nian had no intention of revealing his strength.

The current situation is very clear. Tingyu Pavilion is definitely hiding something, or in other words, they are probably planning to make a big move this time.

Only by hiding his strength could he make them less vigilant towards him, and Gu Nian's investigation would also be easier.

The appearance of his wife has already made them very cautious. If he is exposed again, they are afraid that they will not be able to investigate anything.

then.

Gu Nian suppressed his cultivation to the level of Jindan realm.

Although this level of strength is quite good among the crowd, it is not the top one and will obviously not attract any attention.

even.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Gu Nian didn't even plan to use the sword.

With Gu Nian's actions these times, news about Gu Nian has basically spread.

Now many people know that Dongjun Su Qingge’s husband is very powerful, especially his swordsmanship, which is simply superb, and his Lihuo swordsmanship is even more powerful.

This person is exactly like a little Dongjun. Even at his age, with his cultivation and strength, he is even more powerful than the original Dongjun and Fuzun.

Once Gu Nian used the sword, or even the Lihuo Sword Intent, his identity would be exposed instantly, which was inconsistent with Gu Nian's purpose.

Therefore, when Gu Nian stood on the ring, he had nothing in his hands, not even a weapon.

"I've met the young master."

Gu Nian's enemies were very polite to her.

"I heard that Brother Su is from the Xuantian Sect. Lin Fan, the direct descendant of the Xuantian Sect's leader, has become quite famous recently. I wonder if Brother Su and Lin Fan are acquainted with each other?"

"Of course I know him. Not just know him, but I'm very familiar with him."

Gu Nian said with a smile,

"However, Junior Brother Lin won't come to such an occasion, so you can rest assured."

As he spoke, Gu Nian felt a little emotional.

He also didn't expect that the unknown boy who had been calling him "big brother" not long ago has now become quite famous.

Is this the protagonist's luck?

Although his wife no longer needs Lin Fan's help, as a friend, Gu Nian hopes that Lin Fan can continue to move forward smoothly.

As for the villain corresponding to Lin Fan...

Anyway, it has nothing to do with his wife, so Gu Nian doesn't care.

After a few greetings, the two began to fight.

This battle was a little strenuous for Gu Nian.

The opponent's strength is in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, which is stronger than Gu Nian's early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

But for Gu Nian, it was nothing.

After all, although Gu Nian didn't take many actions, basically every battle was a cross-border battle.

The difference is usually this big, and Gu Nian rarely experiences it.

just.

Without a sword, Gu Nian had to use his unfamiliar fists. He felt a little restrained when fighting and was not used to it, so his fighting power naturally weakened a lot.

But fortunately, after some twists and turns, Gu Nian still knocked the opponent off the ring.

"Concession."

Gu Nian bowed to the other party and turned to leave.
