"Hehe, you're too kind, big brother. This is the first time I've met you, so I have a good impression of you."

He had been friends with Xiao Ziyan for many years, but it was said that they were going to meet each other for the first time. "Brat, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, how about we drink at night?"

When Xiao Ziyan heard about the wine, she immediately nodded and replied, "Of course."

"Hm, are these two your friends as well?" Sun Rong looked at the fatty and the skinny man, "Hello, I am Sun Rong, Yue Yue's elder brother."

"They are called Fatty and the skinny guy, the thin guy is called the skinny guy, the fat guy is called Fatty, his brain is a little stupid, hee hee hee. The two of them were very good to me, and they even saved my life. " When Sun Rong heard this, he cupped his hands towards Fatty and the skinny man and said, "As your big brother, I am thanking you more and more."

The thin man replied with a bow. "Hur Hur, Brother Rong, there's no need to be polite. We are very happy to have a friend like Miss Xiaoyue." "Yes, yes." The fatty continuously expressed his agreement. He thought to himself, "As long as you don't pull my tendons and start drinking, I'll let you know what's left."

"Hahaha, stop reminiscing about the old days for now. Let's go in and sit down. We can talk about the important matters later. We'll go drink after we finish." Sima Qin said to Xiao Zi Yan and Sima Rong. " "Un, you're right. Shall we go in and sit? It's so tiring to stand here."

After everyone had entered the hall and sat down, Xiao Ziyan could not help but ask: "About that … "Big brother, you just said that you want me to participate in the Rookie Martial Arts Competition. What is this?"

"Ugh." "The Rookie Competition is a competition held every year in the martial arts world, but only those under the age of 25 can participate. It is a very important competition, and it represents the future strength of the great sects of the martial arts world. Since ancient times and modern times, there have never been any suitable contestants in this competition, so we want you to represent us."

"Oh, I see."

Sima Qin suddenly interrupted, "However, things didn't go smoothly. Someone wants to snatch your qualification to participate." When Sun Rong heard this, he immediately frowned. However, he could only silently nod his head because this was the truth.

"What's going on?" Sima Xiao asked. Sun Rong explained to him, "We originally planned for Xiao Ziyan to represent us in the competition. With her strength, there's no problem in winning the championships, but there are many people in the history of the hall who are unconvinced with Xiao Ziyan's strength, so they recommended Sima Tu to participate in the Rookie Martial Arts Competition and disqualify her."

The more Sima Xiao heard, the angrier he got. "That useless son of Sima's? "He doesn't have any ability at all. All he thinks is that he is invincible. With that bit of skill, even I can't beat him." Sima Xiao Yue's words were true. Originally, she was fond of eating and not interested in learning martial arts, but after four years of hard work in the Heavenly Spirit Sword Art, she could be considered an expert among the younger generation. She then continued, "Yes, if not for the fact that there are three of us from ancient times supporting Xiao Zi Yan, his qualification to participate in the competition would have been cancelled a long time ago. But it doesn't matter, now that Xiao Zi Yan has returned, everything will be settled." Sima Qiao said.

"Strength proves everything. At that time, Sima Tu was not convinced, so when Xiao Ziyan came back, I made an agreement with him to call Xiao Ziyan and Sima Tu to compete with each other. Whoever wins will gain the qualification to participate in the Rookie's Martial Arts Competition, but in order to make everyone in the Hall and who disagrees with Xiao Ziyan submit, it's not enough to just win this competition."

"Then what?" Xiao Ziyan asked.

"Prestige!" It is certain that we will win this time's sparring with Sima Tu, but if we don't win quickly and if we win and those people drop their mouths from shock, there will still be many people who will find excuses and many people who will not be convinced. At that time, even if we let Xiao Ziyan participate in the Rookie Martial Arts Competition, they will still not be satisfied. "

"Mmm, what big sister said makes sense. But how do we win in order to establish our might?" Sima Xiao asked.

"That will depend on Xiao Ziyan's ability."

Xiao Ziyan thought for a while before saying to Sima Sun Rong, "Big brother, don't worry. I've already thought of what to do." "At this point, there was the sound of footsteps coming from outside. It sounded like a lot of people were walking towards here." Little sister, someone knows that you've returned? "

"Yes, Uncle Wang, who was guarding the gate, went to tell others." Sima Xiaoyue nodded and answered.

"Hehe, looks like Sima Xian can't hold his anger anymore. Bringing so many people with him, he must be scared that his son will lose to Xiao Ziyan. Second brother, prepare yourself. The competition is about to begin." Xiao Ziyan nodded without fear. Very soon, someone knocked on the door. "Hall Master, I heard that Xiao Ziyan has returned. Can you let us see this young man that you have high hopes for?"

"F * ck, we're here for the martial arts competition, what's the use of saying so much nonsense?" Sima Rong muttered in a low voice, "You can all come in." There were more than ten people standing outside the door, all supporting Sima Tu's participation in the Rookie Competition. These people came here to persuade Sima Qiao to let him participate, and secondly, to watch Xiao Ziyan being defeated. One of them, a young man about the same age as Xiao Ziyan, stood beside Sima Tu, the son of Sima Tu. Sima Tu was handsome, and his charm was not weaker than Xiao Ziyan's, but it was filled with pride.

Everyone walked into the hall and bowed towards Sima Qiao and Hui Ran. Sima Tu's eyes swept over Xiao Zi Yan and the rest before stopping on Xiao Zi Yan's body. He gave her a sideways glance that made her feel quite displeased. Hall Master, we have come this time to fulfill the agreement we made last time to let Tu Er and Xiao Zi Yan have a competition.

Sima Qiao nodded and said, "Xiao Ziyan is here as well. Since all of you are here, why not choose between the two? How about we compete in martial arts now?" Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. In their hearts, they had originally planned to watch this match today. These people moved to the side. The great hall was not small to begin with, but now there was an open space in the middle that would facilitate the match between Xiao Ziyan and Sima Tu.

Seeing that she had stood up, Xiao Ziyan walked to the center of the hall and cupped her hands towards Sima Tu, "Xiao Ziyan, please advise me."

"Hmph." Sima Tu snorted coldly, not even glancing at Xiao Zi Yan. In his heart, Xiao Zi Yan was just a wild child that had crawled out from who knows where. She wasn't worthy of fighting with him, much less walking so close to Sima Xiao Yue.
