Chapter 60: Arrival of the Four Elephant Gate
The three of them ignored the people from the Yin family and strode boldly toward the stone platform.
"Is it a spiritual bird? Could it be someone from the Four Elephant Gate?"
Someone on the stone platform immediately exclaimed.
The elderly men sitting in their chairs exchanged surprised glances, seemingly taken aback.
"Let’s go, we have esteemed guests arriving. Everyone should go and take a look."
Yin Linglong also looked puzzled, but after thinking for a moment, she decisively stood up and led Wang Yu to greet them.
After exchanging glances, the other elders silently followed behind.
Among the three approaching figures, two were in front, quietly talking, while the one at the back wore a smile.
"Esteemed Family Master Yu, this Taoist friend is…" As Yin Linglong stepped down from the stone platform and recognized the two men, she nodded to the middle-aged man in a black robe on the right, then slightly bowed to the fair-faced man in his thirties on the left.
"I am Shi Hai, the current outer gate steward of the Four Elephant Gate. I hope the esteemed Family Master Yu will not take offense at my uninvited visit." The fair-faced man swept his gaze over Yin Linglong’s stunning appearance, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, then he clasped his fists and spoke.
"So it is indeed the high-ranking steward. The Yin family has been very careless, please take a seat." Although Yin Linglong had expected this, she still felt a slight sadness in her heart. She stepped aside, and the members of the Yin family behind her all bowed respectfully.
As Wang Yu bowed, his gaze unintentionally fell on the last person.
He was a young man around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a blue robe. His appearance was ordinary, and his expression was gentle, giving off a sense of steadiness and determination.
This is Yu Xiaoming!
It seemed that the young man sensed Wang Yu’s gaze and looked over.
Wang Yu exchanged a glance with him.
Yu Xiaoming suddenly smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
Wang Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.
For some reason, this person gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
At that moment, the members of the Yin family had already gathered around Shi Hai as he walked onto the stone platform.
"I came here by chance because the master of the Yu family used the family Token to recommend Yu Xiaoming for the sect’s entrance test. When I arrived at the Yu family, I heard the master of the Yu family say that Yu Xiaoming plans to join the Yin family and will compete with someone else to decide this marriage."
"Haha, I don’t have many big hobbies; I just like to watch the fun, and since practical ability is also part of the entrance test, I asked Taoist Friend Yu to bring me along. I wonder who from the Yin family will compete with Yu Xiaoming?"
After Shi Hai sat down in the main seat that Yin Linglong had given up, he smiled and asked the members of the Yin family.
"Younger Wang Yu, greetings to Deacon Shi." Wang Yu directly stepped out from behind Yin Linglong and bowed respectfully.
"You have the surname Wang, so you are not a member of the Yin family? Why do you represent the Yin family in the competition with Yu Xiaoming?" Shi Hai glanced at Wang Yu a few times and casually asked.
"I am the fiancé of Linglong, and Taoist Friend Yu wants to steal my love, so I have no choice but to fight." Wang Yu replied calmly.
"Oh, but I heard that Yu Xiaoming had intended to join the Yin family, and you took away the one he loved." Shi Hai laughed heartily.
"Deacon Shi, when did I become Yu Xiaoming’s beloved?" Upon hearing this, Yin Linglong raised her eyebrows and asked Shi Hai directly.
"Linglong girl, ever since I saw you five years ago, I have fallen deeply in love with you. Saying that you are the one I long for is not an exaggeration," Yu Xiaoming explained lightly from across the table.
The master of the Yu family smiled and remained silent.
"You…"
Yin Linglong’s face turned pale with anger. Just as she was about to scold someone, Shi Hai interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"Master Yin, I don’t care about your past relationship or any agreements you had. I have come here only to watch this match, so this elder asks you a question: If someone wins this match, will that person become your husband and join the Yin family?" Shi Hai asked meaningfully while staring at Yin Linglong.
Wang Yu frowned when he heard this and gave Shi Hai a deep glance.
"That’s right, whoever wins the match will be my Yin Linglong’s ideal husband." Yin Linglong seemed to realize something; her face turned a bit pale, but she still gritted her teeth and replied firmly.
"Good, good! As the outer elder of the Four Elephant Gate, I will represent the Four Elephant Gate to witness this match. I believe that whoever wins will leave a wonderful story for the Tong Prefecture’s cultivation world. Can we start the match? I can hardly wait," Shi Hai said, breaking into a big smile and clapping his hands.
The members of the Yin family exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
After Yin Linglong and the master of the Yu family exchanged a glance, neither of them showed any intention to oppose.
Then, Wang Yu and Yu Xiaoming stepped down from the stone platform and arrived at the center of the Martial Arts Field.
Wang Yu held a long, shining green sword in his hand.
This was the weapon Yin Linglong had specially taken from the Yin family’s treasure house two days ago.
According to Yin Linglong, this Qingfeng sword is made from rare materials, is very light and strong, but has no markings or patterns on its surface, so it is not considered a magical weapon.
On the opposite side, Yu Xiaoming stood there with empty hands, looking relaxed.
Wang Yu recalled the information Yin Linglong had found about his opponent, and his gaze flickered slightly.
"Neither side is allowed to use talismans or healing potions, cannot fly out of the Martial Arts Field area, may only use one magical weapon, there is no limit to ordinary weapons, and killing the opponent is not allowed. Victory is determined by one side surrendering or losing the ability to continue."
"The match begins."
After a man from the Yin family floated above the Martial Arts Field and spoke for a while, the match began.
Wang Yu crossed his long sword in front of him, ready to make a move, but was interrupted by a comment from the young man opposite him.
"Taoist Friend Wang, I heard you are very strong and have awakened your physical bloodline. Is that true?"
"Yes, and so what?" Wang Yu replied calmly, somewhat surprised.
To persuade the Yin family, Yin Linglong surely had to tell his relatives about his identity as a Bloodline Awakener, so it was not strange for the other party to know this.
"What a coincidence, I have also awakened my bloodline, and it is also a physical bloodline. So how about this: to showcase our bloodline power, why don’t you attack, and I will defend?" Yu Xiaoming said with a smile, saying something that left Wang Yu stunned.
"Do you mean to say that you will only defend and not counterattack?" Wang Yu asked in surprise after coming to his senses.
"Yes, that is exactly what I mean. I believe my bloodline power is quite skilled in defense, and no one in Tong Prefecture at the same level can break my defense. Of course, since we are both still learning, we should set a time limit."
"Let’s do this: within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, if you can break my defense and seriously injure me, then I will lose. Otherwise, I will win," Yu Xiaoming said to Wang Yu, calmly.
"That’s interesting. I am also very confident in my own strength. Good, it’s settled then." Wang Yu stared blankly at the young man across from him for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh and agreed.
The members of the Yin family around the Martial Arts Field and the people on the stone platform were all left speechless after hearing the conversation between the two.
