　　The Great Zhou Emperor raised his hand and gently pressed it down.
　　Instantly, the entire audience fell silent.
　　「Everyone, you’ve all seen Ning’an. Now, can we start the competition？」
　　As soon as the Great Zhou Emperor’s voice fell, Wei Wuxin’s voice rang out again： 「Your Majesty, I’m afraid the rules of today’s competition need to be changed.」
　　「Why？」 The Great Zhou Emperor was puzzled.
　　Wei Wuxin pointed to the empty seat beside Kong Tianxia and said： 「It’s already this late, and Ye Changsheng still hasn’t shown up, which means he has already forfeited.」
　　The Great Zhou Emperor looked towards the back of the crowd. He had long since noticed Ye Qiu.
　　As soon as Wei Wuxin’s voice fell, voices of agreement rang out from all around.
　　「Prince Wei is right. Ye Changsheng has already abstained.」
　　「He didn’t just abstain. He was clearly scared.」
　　「If it wasn’t because of fear, then why hasn’t he shown up yet？」
　　「In my opinion, Ye Changsheng is a coward.」
“A person like Ye Changsheng is not worthy of being the consort of Great Zhou at all.”
　　「I also think what Prince Wei said makes sense. The rules of the competition should be changed. Let’s choose a new consort of Great Zhou from among us！」
　　The Great Zhou Emperor of course knew what these people were thinking. He asked without batting an eye, 「Prince Wei, you said you want to change the rules of the competition. How？」
　　Wei Wuxin said, 「I think that we who are participating in the competition for the consort should compete with each other. Whoever can stand out will be the consort of Great Zhou.」
As soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted with another round of agreement.
　　「I think Prince Wei’s proposal is good.」
　　「Since Ye Changsheng doesn’t dare to come, the consort should of course be chosen from among us.」
　　「I support Prince Wei！」
　　「……」
　　The Great Zhou Emperor looked at Qin Jiang and Qin He and said, 「You two are princes of Great Qian. What do you think？」
　　Qin He said, 「I think what Wei Wuxin said makes sense.」
　　Qin Jiang said, 「Since Ye Changsheng isn’t coming, then let’s do as Wei Wuxin proposed.」
　　「What about you？ Little Zhuge？」 The Great Zhou Emperor asked Zhuge Chaoyang again.
　　Even though Zhuge Zhaoyang didn’t get along with Wei Wuxin, he also spoke up in support of Wei Wuxin at this moment and said, “I think Wei Wuxin’s proposal is very good.」
　　Zhuge Zhaoyang understood that only by competing with each other would he have a chance to get Ning’an.
　　The Great Zhou Emperor then asked Kong Tianxia, “You are the eldest disciple of Jixia Academy. Do you agree with Prince Wei’s proposal？」
　　Kong Tianxia stood up, saluted, and said, “Junior feels that we should wait a little longer. Maybe Ye Changsheng will come soon.」
　　”Oh？” The Great Zhou Emperor asked curiously, “Do you think that Ye Changsheng will come to accept everyone’s challenge？」
　　Kong Tianxia said, “I haven’t seen Ye Changsheng and don’t know much about him, but he is the number one on the Hidden Dragon List and has the potential of a Great Emperor. I think a person like this should not flee without a fight.”
　　”Besides, since the emperor has issued an order to announce that Ye Changsheng is the Great Zhou’s son-in-law, it shows that the emperor believes in Ye Changsheng’s strength.」
　　”I believe you won’t misjudge.」
　　Appreciation appeared in the eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor, and he Secret passage , “As expected of the direct disciple of the Master, this Kong Tianxia is not simple.」
　　At this time, Wei Wuxin said, “Brother Kong, I dare not agree with your words.」
　　”If Ye Changsheng wasn’t afraid, why hasn’t he appeared yet？」
　　”That’s right. The Heaven and Earth Bell said he is the number one on the Hidden Dragon List and has the potential of a Great Emperor, but the Heaven and Earth Bell didn’t say what Ye Changsheng’s character is like.」
“In the vast world, there are all kinds of strange things. Some people with peerless talents have smaller bolder than mice. Maybe Ye Changsheng is this kind of person.
　　Kong Tianxia shook his head and said, “I don’t think Ye Changsheng is such a person.」
　　Wei Wuxin said, “You haven’t even seen Ye Changsheng, how do you know he isn’t that kind of person？」
　　Brother Kong, I heard that you live in a simple thatched hut in Jixia Academy, stay behind closed doors all year round, and only read the books of sages with one heart. Are you
　　stupid　from　reading？」
　　It is said that it is difficult to paint the bones when painting a tiger or a skin, and it is difficult to know a person’s heart even if you know his face. Moreover, you don’t even know what Ye Changsheng looks like.」
　　Zhuge Chaoyang jumped out and pointed at Wei Wuxin and shouted, “Watch your words, Wei.」
　　To insult my senior brother is to insult our Jixia Academy. Be careful I kill you.」
　　Wei Wuxin sneered and said, “Just you want to kill me？ Hahaha, talking big.」
　　Kid, this is the scene of competing for the consort, not a game of playing house.」
　　I advise you to go home and play with mud！」
　　You——Zhuge Chaoyang’s face turned red with anger.
　　Kong Tianxia was not angry at all and stubbornly said, “I believe in Ye Changsheng, he will definitely come.」
　　Bookworm！
　　Wei Wuxin didn’t bother to pay attention to Kong Tianxia and said to the Great Zhou Emperor, “Your Majesty, Ye Changsheng will definitely not come. I don’t think it’s necessary to waste time. Let’s compare with each other！」
　　The Great Zhou Emperor smiled and said, “Prince Wei, don’t worry. Ye Changsheng has already come.」
　　Come？
　　Immediately, everyone looked towards the door, but not a single ghostly figure could be seen.
　　「Where is Ye Changsheng？」
　　「Why can’t I see him？」
　　「Could it be that the Great Zhou Emperor is lying to us？」
　　Just as everyone was whispering, the Great Zhou Emperor said, 「Changsheng, what are you hiding behind for？ Hurry up and come to the front.」
　　Only then did Ye Qiu, leading the Long-Browed True Man, swagger over from the back of the crowd.
　　In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Qiu.
　　「What, this guy is Ye Changsheng？」
　　「He　came　earlier？」
　　「So does that mean he heard all our conversations？ Oh no, no. Will he take action against us？」
　　「What are you afraid of? This is the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. Ye Changsheng doesn’t dare to act recklessly！」
　　「He is the number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking? He also has two eyes and one mouth, no different from us.」
　　「This guy has a good appearance.」
　　「In my opinion, this guy is good for nothing except for his appearance.」
　　「……」
　　When Wei Wuxin saw Ye Qiu, a cold light flickered in his eyes.
　　Ye Qiu’s handsome face and calm and composed bearing made him involuntarily feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
　　Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Qiu, not taking his gaze back for a long time.
　　As for Qin He, he sneered disdainfully and Secret passage ： 「What number one on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, I can crush him with one hand.」
　　When Zhuge Zhaoyang saw Ye Qiu, he snorted coldly and thought to himself, ‘Just a pretty boy, what qualifications does he have to compete with me for Junior Sister！」
　　However, Kong Tianxia politely saluted Ye Qiu and said, ‘Kong Tianxia from Jixia Academy, nice to meet Brother Ye.」
　　’Nice to meet Brother Kong.’ Ye Qiu also cupped his fists and saluted.
　　Since the other party was so polite, it would seem very impolite if he didn’t return the salute, not to mention that so many people were present.
　　Then.
　　Ye Qiu’s tone changed and he said, ‘Brother Kong is a dragon among men. Given time, he will surely soar into the sky… By the way, did these trash bother you when you were reading？」
