From the standstill of time, across the heavens

Chapter 1453 Even AK could barely contain the smile on Lin Tiannan's face~~
Even Hao Shuai, with his temperament, was somewhat frustrated, let alone Li Xiaoyao, the most easily provoked and immature teenager. Enraged, he immediately roared, "You wicked woman, let this great hero teach you a lesson!"

"Teach me a lesson? You think you can?!" Lin Yueru drew her sword and pointed it at Li Xiaoyao.

"Hmph~ You're a defeated opponent!" Li Xiaoyao didn't use his flying sword, but instead drew the iron sword from behind him.

"Young hero, we support you! Defeat her!"

"Go for it! Defeat her!"

As the two were about to fight, the spectators below the ring immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The cheers were unanimously in support of Li Xiaoyao.

There's nothing I can do about it~~
It's all because Lin Yueru not only attacked ruthlessly, but also made a sweeping generalization, insulting all men in general.

Although they didn't have the guts to go on stage and teach Lin Yueru a lesson, they could still offer Li Xiaoyao moral support.

Even Hao Shuai casually said, "Xiaoyao, you can only win, you can't lose. If you lose, you'll be expelled from the sect!"

"what?!"

Li Xiaoyao, who had been somewhat indifferent, was suddenly startled by Hao Shuai's words. He patted his chest and assured Hao Shuai, "Don't worry, Master Uncle, I will definitely win!"

Lin Tiannan, who had been watching the drama unfold for a while, glanced at Li Xiaoyao on the stage, who was dashing and dignified, and nodded imperceptibly.

Compared to those embroidered pillows that looked like silver spears but were actually wax figures, this one looks much better.

As for their actual strength, we'll only know after we fight them.

Therefore, seeing that the two were ready, he immediately shouted, "Begin!"

Facing Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, who had fought him before, dared not be careless and thrust her long sword at him.

A gust of wind swept through the air, carrying with it an incomparably sharp sword aura.

Where the sword flashed, it left a trail of afterimages in the air.

Li Xiaoyao moved swiftly, dodging Lin Yueru's sword strike with ease. Then, with a light leap, his longsword sliced ​​through the air with a hissing sound, and thrust towards Lin Yueru.

Lin Yueru's expression changed drastically, and she could only retreat rapidly.

Li Xiaoyao lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped forward, grabbed the descending sword, and swung it straight at Lin Yueru.

Lin Yueru flicked her longsword and launched a counterattack.

The two sides fought fiercely, exchanging more than ten blows in a short time.

The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows, and the onlookers below the stage stopped making noise and jeers. They held their breath and watched intently, their eyes filled with admiration.

The more Lin Tiannan looked at Li Xiaoyao, the more he felt that Li Xiaoyao was the perfect son-in-law he had been waiting for.

After several dozen rounds, Lin Yueru saw that she was gradually losing ground and dared not hold back any more.

"Three Sword Techniques!"

With a loud shout, Lin Yueru leaped into the air, and amidst the flashing sword shadows, several three-colored sword energies burst forth, exuding a terrifying aura, and roared towards Li Xiaoyao.

Seeing that Lin Yueru was fighting desperately, Li Xiaoyao dared not hold back. He immediately replaced the iron sword in his hand with an ancient longsword, and then a sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he pointed the sword at Lin Yueru.

"Sword Control Technique! Go!"

The longsword flashed with azure light and pierced towards Lin Yueru, who was not far away, at an unimaginable speed.

"So fast!"

This was Lin Yueru's only thought at that moment, but she had enough confidence in her family's unique skills to block the sword!

The dazzling sword energy collided in mid-air, producing a series of booming sounds that left people mesmerized.

Lin Yueru, the person directly involved, suddenly changed her expression. She felt an overwhelming force flowing through the sword into her body, violently blasting her away and sending her crashing off the stage. Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao, being kind-hearted by nature, immediately flew forward, grabbed Lin Yueru's wrist, and pulled her away forcefully.

Unable to stop her momentum, Lin Yueru collapsed into Li Xiaoyao's arms.

Their eyes met, and their hearts pounded involuntarily.

In that instant, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in the world.

A moment later, Lin Yueru, her face slightly flushed and seemingly embarrassed and annoyed, pushed Li Xiaoyao away. Originally stubborn and proud, she now ran back to Lin Family Fortress like a frightened little rabbit without looking back.

As for the other party involved, Li Xiaoyao, he was completely stunned, lost in thought.

"Okay!"

"That was truly wonderful."

"Finally, someone has defeated that wicked woman."

"Haha~~ That wicked woman is finally getting married!"

The people below the stage witnessed a spectacular martial arts match and gave it thunderous applause, but most of them cheered for someone who had defeated Lin Yueru.

It seems the people of Suzhou are suffering greatly under Lin Yueru's rule!
At this moment, Lin Tiannan stepped forward and tightly grasped Li Xiaoyao's hand, as if afraid that he would run away, and asked, "May I ask this young hero's name?"

"I am Li Xiaoyao!" Li Xiaoyao seemed to realize his situation and was somewhat at a loss.

Lin Tiannan didn't care what Li Xiaoyao was thinking. He addressed the crowd below the arena, saying, "Fellow villagers and fellow martial artists, the result of today's martial arts contest for marriage is in! This young hero Li is my son-in-law! My Lin family will be hosting a grand banquet within three days, and I hope you will all grace us with your presence!"

Li Xiaoyao: "??"

……

Linjiabao.

After announcing the results of the martial arts contest to find a husband in public, Lin Tiannan pulled Li Xiaoyao aside and invited Hao Shuai and Zhao Ling'er to Lin Family Fortress for a banquet.

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was rather strange at this moment.

Lin Tiannan, the usually domineering leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, was all smiles as he kept offering toasts.

The usually gentle and refined top scholar Liu Jinyuan now looked distressed, buried his head in his wine, and his eyes held a hint of loneliness.

As for Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, who were the main characters of the banquet, they glared at each other, as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes, as if they had forgotten the warmth on the arena just now.

The only normal people at the whole table were probably Zhao Ling'er and Hao Shuai, who kept putting food on her plate.

After several rounds of drinks, Lin Tiannan, as the host, asked, "Where does Young Master Li live? Who else lives in your household?"

Although he was reluctant to answer, out of respect for his elders, Li Xiaoyao still respectfully replied, "I live in Yuhang Town, and my aunt is now my only remaining relative."

Handsome, close to home, highly skilled in martial arts, and orphaned—he's practically a son-in-law tailor-made for the Lin Family Fortress!
Thinking of this, Lin Tiannan's eyes lit up, and AK could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.

Fortunately, he held back and instead said, "Yuhang is so close! We can have your aunt brought over tomorrow so you and Ru'er can get married soon!"

"Ah!!" Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao panicked and hurriedly said, "Lord Lin, this junior has no intention of getting married."

As he spoke, he looked to Hao Shuai for help, hoping that Hao Shuai would step in and refuse the marriage proposal on his behalf.

To his surprise, Hao Shuai glanced at him and said, "You went up to the ring yourself, you won the fight yourself, and you have to take responsibility for your own actions!"

"No~ I am~~" Li Xiaoyao was eager to explain why he went to the arena.

However, Hao Shuai, the one who started it all, was unwilling to listen and interrupted him, continuing, "Besides, Miss Lin is not only beautiful and skilled in martial arts, but also comes from a wealthy family. You should be grateful that you can marry such a wife!"
