Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 735 One move decides the outcome, deeply entangled.

Although Xie He's martial arts contest to find a husband was open to all heroes and valiant men, it was nonetheless a grand event.

But anyone with eyes can see that the person was actually chosen from within.

Unexpectedly, someone actually dared to step into the ring, showing no respect for the world.

Feng Wuji, in particular, immediately turned gloomy.

If we're talking about who lost face the most, it's definitely him.

On the contrary, Xie Ying looked the newcomer up and down, and a glint appeared in her eyes.

The newcomer was handsome and refined, with a gentle and elegant demeanor; his appearance was exactly what she wanted to be.

Moreover, judging from the opponent's martial arts skills, they were not bad either. With just a light step, they landed on the stage as lightly as a falling leaf.

Upon seeing this scene, Xie He swallowed his words.

"This young hero has such impressive lightness skills." Xie He was an expert and naturally understood the intricacies of the skill.

The martial arts skills of the person in front of him are even superior to those of Feng Wuji.

At first glance, it seems a bit strange.

Xie He felt a little puzzled, that is, how could it look like a woman?
But then I realized I was probably overthinking it.

If the other party were truly a woman disguised as a man, how could she possibly step onto this martial arts contest stage to find a husband?

She must be a little too pretty to have made him mistake her for someone else.

"May I ask who your master is, and where you live, young hero?" Xie He asked with a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

Zhong Lei didn't notice the change in Xie He's attitude and immediately said, "My martial arts skills are family tradition, and my ancestral home is Jiangnan."

She came here to prove something to Chu Danqing. Her sect was quite secretive, so it was naturally difficult to say it outright.

However, one's place of origin is not a problem.

Xie He nodded in agreement: "Coming from a water town in Jiangnan, no wonder you are so handsome, young hero."

That makes sense; otherwise, how could someone be so delicate-looking?

Chu Danqing, who was sitting in the audience, chuckled when she saw this: "I didn't expect her to be so bold as to actually go on stage."

Guo Ming, also in a tone of anticipation, said, "It's fine if they lose, but what if they win?"

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but Chu Danqing could understand it: "Let's see how she consummates her marriage."

"She can't lose, she's definitely going to win." How could Chu Danqing not see how satisfied the Xie father and daughter were with Zhong Lei?

The father was attracted to Zhong Lei's martial arts skills and potential, while the daughter was attracted to his appearance and temperament.

Chu Danqing had no idea how Zhong Lei was going to lose.

"Let's switch places and prepare to escape later," Chu Danqing said.

If they win, Zhong Lei will definitely not be able to leave, and who knows if she will drag the three of them down with her.

On the stage, Zhong Lei's expression softened slightly upon hearing the praise.

I just feel that this father and daughter are indeed good at recognizing people.

Unlike Chu Danqing and the other two, who have absolutely no idea what respect is.

Then she discovered a problem: Chu Danqing and the others had actually left.

I don't know where they went.

This puzzled her; could it be that he couldn't accept defeat?

"Young hero, now that you're on stage, how shall we compete? You draw your own path," Xie Ying said with a hint of shyness.

This drew Zhong Lei's attention back to the arena, and she temporarily ignored Chu Danqing and the others who had left.

Anyway, it's not too late to talk things out with them after he wins the ring.

"As you wish, young lady." Zhong Lei's Hundred Transformations Mysterious Sword technique is one of the best in the world.

In her opinion, the so-called Thunder Fist was nothing special.

"Alright, then please enlighten me, young hero." Xie Ying had intended to hold back, but then she saw the wink her father gave her.

She immediately realized that the handsome 'young hero' in front of her was far more powerful than her and wanted her to go all out.

The Thunderclap technique materialized, and with lightning speed, he launched an attack on Zhong Lei.

But the next instant, the thunder stopped, and Xie Ying was sent flying backward.

If Xie He hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed her, Xie Ying wouldn't have fallen off the stage.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang aura around Zhong Lei slowly receded, without even drawing her sword.

If the sword had been drawn just now, Xie Ying would have been either crippled or killed. This shows that they showed mercy.

"The Yin-Yang conception." Xie He swallowed hard, watching the dissipating Yin-Yang millstone.

In terms of artistic conception, there are also different levels.

The more profound the martial arts skill, the more extraordinary the artistic conception it naturally embodies.

Just like Xie He's "Thunderbolt" artistic conception, above that is the "Thunder/Wind and Thunder" artistic conception, and above that is the "Eight Trigrams/Five Elements" artistic conception.

However, this kind of martial art is truly rare and hard to come by, and even if you acquire it, it is difficult to master.

Just like Lin Daoan, whose Xuan Yin Finger should have been mastered to the level of Xuan Yin Intent.

As a result, he ended up with a bizarre and incongruous Poisonous Yin Intent. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't master it.

It's not that having advanced martial arts skills guarantees mastery; ultimately, it depends on the individual.

Moreover, artistic conception is not the sole determinant of a person's potential.

Many of the powerful figures in the world initially possessed unremarkable artistic conceptions, but through innovation and transformation, they achieved a unique artistic conception of their own. "You flatter me," Zhong Lei said, bowing slightly.

If all these people present swarmed at her, Zhong Lei would indeed be no match for them.

However, in a one-on-one situation, she was wary of Thunderclap and the three leaders of those forces.

"Not bad, not bad." Xie He helped Xie Ying up, increasingly satisfied with Zhong Lei, and immediately said, "Does anyone have any further insights on this?"

Feng Wuji glared at Zhong Lei resentfully, but made no move.

He's just short-tempered and petty, not really brainless.

To surpass his father in reputation despite being less capable than him, he was certainly not the kind of person who would be blinded by a little face or fame.

If he really cared about these things, his reputation among outlaws wouldn't be so bad.

As for coveting Zhong Lei's swordsmanship? He hasn't even mastered his own martial arts.

But it looked strangely familiar, and for a moment I couldn't remember which sect it belonged to.

Lin Daoan, on the other hand, had a different idea in mind, but he couldn't make a move right now, so he had to suppress it.

"Congratulations, Brother Xie, on the birth of your wonderful son-in-law," said Island Master Han, the first to offer his congratulations.

Then others followed suit.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lei realized what was happening, and her expression stiffened.

Winning a martial arts contest to choose a husband is easy, but what happens after you win?

It's definitely impossible for her to marry Xie Ying.

She quickly scanned the audience, trying to find Chu Danqing and the others.

She was an intelligent person, and now she understood that Chu Danqing and the others were not sore losers, but rather that knowing they would win would be the beginning of trouble.

So I left early.

With the martial arts contest for marriage over, most people dispersed.

The guests were also taken to rest well, awaiting the banquet that night.

However, Zhong Lei followed Xie He and Xie Ying to the back hall.

"You've won this contest. Even though it's a marriage proposal, you still have to give me some gifts." Xie He said, taking out a green jade ring with two cat's-eye gemstones set in it, sparkling brightly.

"This was given to Ying'er by her mother on her deathbed, and now it's being given to you."

Zhong Lei took one look and indeed liked it, but upon hearing that it was a dying item, she quickly refused: "Since it belongs to Miss Xie, this junior dares not accept it."

Xie He laughed heartily again and said, "This is a gift for your engagement, why can't you accept it?"

These words made Zhong Lei's face stiffen, and she hurriedly refused, saying, "This junior dares not presume to presume."

Upon hearing this, Xie He's expression darkened, and he asked, "Do you despise my daughter?"

"How could I possibly disdain you, Miss? But this is a matter I cannot comply with," Zhong Lei hurriedly said. She was also a woman; how could she marry another woman?

Xie He's expression was filled with anger, but he suppressed it and asked, "Why is that?"

Zhong Lei glanced over and saw Xie Ying lightly clutching the hem of her skirt, her face flushed, her two round, large eyes staring at her, glistening with tears.

She could only feign reluctance, saying, "We haven't informed our elders yet, how can we arrange a marriage in private?"

"Oh? Your elders also live in Jiangnan?" Xie He's anger slowly dissipated, which made sense.

After all, getting married is such a big event that the elders in the family must be notified.

“My parents are both dead, and I have a kind uncle who has been kind to me. I need to inform him about my marriage,” Zhong Lei said. “He’s in town now, but I don’t know where he’s wandering off to.”

Upon hearing this, Xie He immediately laughed and said, "Alright, alright, that's fine."

He thought it was something serious, but this little thing was nothing.

"You don't need to worry about this marriage."

"There's no better time than now. I'm old and averse to trouble. Let's have the banquet and wedding feast at the same time while all of you are here, so as not to trouble you all to come another day," Xie He said immediately.

This really startled Zhong Lei. So fast?
So she quickly said, "I am still young, let's postpone the marriage."

“I intend to keep you by my side. It would be much more convenient if you two got married sooner.” Xie He didn’t allow her to argue, and simply said, “I, Thunderclap, have always been decisive in my actions. A marriage proposal in the arena can be completed on the same day, saving so many formalities!”

This immediately made Zhong Lei's face turn bitter; what kind of situation was this?

I thought I could still escape, but I didn't expect to be captured.

He was no match for Xie He, and he was truly stuck here.

The real trouble will come when they get to their bridal chamber at night.

"Ying'er, what is your husband's name?" Xie He asked, slightly embarrassed.

"My son-in-law's name is Zhong Lei." Zhong Lei could only use a pseudonym.

"Yes, it is indeed a good name." Xie He was in a state of love where beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so he naturally thought the name sounded nice, especially since the other party was referring to himself as his son-in-law.

"Take your son-in-law and get some rest. Don't let tonight's joyous occasion be missed," Xie He said. "I'll send someone to find your uncle. Tell me what he looks like."

"Having a distinctive feature makes it easier to find."

Zhong Lei thought for a moment and realized that it would indeed be difficult to find someone who resembled Chu Danqing.

But if we're talking about distinctive features, then yes, they definitely have some.

“My uncle was accompanied by a tall, burly man with red hair. This man was ugly and easily recognizable,” Zhong Lei said immediately.

Chu Danqing can blend into the crowd and hide her aura, making her hard to spot, but Da Bao is different; her features as Chu Danqing are too obvious.
