Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

Lei Dong, unaware of the torment Lei Wujie was about to face, leisurely returned to the tavern.

Just as he was engrossed in reading a book on instant-kill sword techniques, Xiao Se, Tang Lian, and Sikong Qianluo arrived together.

"The martial arts contest for a husband is over. How did it go?"

Luo Mingxuan won first place, but ultimately lost to Qianlue.

"It was you who made a powerful move, defeating two outstanding young talents from Snowmoon City and winning this martial arts contest for marriage."

"Brother Lei, you've guessed wrong this time."

Tang Lian laughed when she heard Lei Dong's words.

"Oh. So you didn't just concede when it was your turn to fight Qianluo, did you? Tsk tsk. Could it be that you also..."

No. No, don't make wild guesses.

Seeing Lei Dong's eyes start glancing at his groin, Xiao Se quickly spoke up.

"It was Xiao Se who went too far, almost turning that kid into... almost crippling Duan Xuanyi."

The Duan family wanted to cause trouble, but it was only through the intervention of His Highness the White Prince that the disturbance was quelled.

"This family really thinks they're something special. Your father always thinks about the big picture, even when people are bullying them right at their doorstep, he still talks about the big picture."

If he had been a little tougher, only the Duan family, a mere cultivator at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, would have dared to cause trouble in Snow Moon City.

You really should have a good talk with your father when you get back. Otherwise, today it's the Duan family, tomorrow it'll be the Xiao family. The Tang family and the Lei family are after you. We can't give them another chance.”

Lei Dong was speechless at the fact that the Duan family dared to cause trouble in Snow Moon City time and time again.

These people dare to act recklessly because they know Sikong Changfeng is a rule-abiding citizen. Would they dare to do this if it were the unruly Wushuang City?

"Yes, I will tell Father that the Duan family has gone too far."

Sikong Qianluo immediately agreed, finding the idea reasonable.

"Where's Lei Wujie? I've been here for ages and haven't seen him."

Tang Lian looked around but didn't see Lei Wujie, who loved to join in the fun, so she became a little curious.

"The Second City Lord saw that he had been playing too wildly with you all lately and had neglected his cultivation, so he took him to Cangshan Mountain for seclusion."

"Ah. Who's neglecting their cultivation? We're not playing around."

Sikong Qianluo had put in a lot of effort for the martial arts contest to find a husband, so she immediately disagreed upon hearing this.

"From the moment we started preparing for the fireworks display, this kid would dote on Miss Ye after finishing the homework I assigned him."

Aside from martial arts competitions, when have you ever seen him actively cultivate?

The Lei Family Fort Heroes' Banquet is about to begin. I have a feeling this won't be peaceful. It would be good for him to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently for a while.

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo fell silent. It seemed they had really gone a bit too far with their partying lately. They had never done this before.

"Did you know he was coming?"

Seeing their silence, Xiao Se stared at Lei Dong for a long time before finally speaking.

He hadn't considered this possibility before. But now that Lei Dong had suddenly sent Lei Wujie to Cangshan, Xiao Se couldn't help but think more deeply about it.

"Who? You mean the White King?"

They arrived when Luo Mingxuan came on stage. I thought that the young master of that family also wanted to form a marriage alliance with Xueyue City, so I kept an eye on him. But then I heard his guard talking.

They were too formal, so I slipped away early.

Lei Dong did not deny this point.

"Why didn't you invite me? I was right next to you at the time."

Tang Lian was speechless. Who would want to kneel down to someone for no reason? You promised to be my brother, but you ran away. You should have at least reminded me.

"You are the senior disciple of Snow Moon City. Is it appropriate for you to leave the martial arts contest to find a husband early?"

He's ready to rush onto the stage and steal the bride at any moment. I called to him, can he leave?

Tang Lian, who was initially somewhat resentful, almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Sikong Qianluo also showed a happy expression. Thinking of Xiao Se's performance today, she could hardly suppress her smile.

Only Xiao Se had a sour face, clearly unwilling to admit it.

As the dignified Prince Yong'an, he took the initiative to participate in a martial arts contest to find a husband. Doesn't Xiao Chuhe have any pride?

……

"Why are you all here? Xiao Se, His Highness the White King wants to see you. He's at the City Lord's Mansion. Please go there."

Just as the four were chatting, Yin Luoxia arrived. Xiao Se was not surprised at all.

Lei Dong even wore an expression of watching a good show.

"I heard you're very unhappy with the martial arts contest I arranged for you to choose a husband today."

Xiao Se left, but Yin Luoxia didn't; instead, she looked at Lei Dong.

Upon hearing this, not only Tang Lian but also Sikong Qianluo displayed a gossipy expression.

Even Xiao Se, who had just stepped out the door, stopped in his tracks and quietly turned back.

"Uh, no, who said that? It's not like I'm being asked to marry someone. What could I possibly be dissatisfied with?"

I'm very satisfied with everything, but I have a small suggestion. You see, Qianluo is also a great beauty, one of the four beauties of Snow Moon City.

If there's another event like this next time, do you think there should be some requirements regarding the appearance of the potential spouses?

"Lei Dong, what are you saying? What 'Four Beauties'?"

When Sikong Qianluo heard Lei Dong mention the four beauties of Snow Moon City, she immediately looked embarrassed.

"Next time, if the Third City Lord dares to make such an absurd decision again, let him go find whoever he wants."

We disagreed with his decision from the start; how could he even think of having the young lady of Snow Moon City hold a martial arts contest to choose a husband?

Yin Luoxia ignored Sikong Qianluo's expression. She rolled her eyes at Lei Dong and said irritably.

"Ah. Elder Yin, none of you agree to this martial arts contest for marriage?"

Sikong Qianluo was a little confused, and even Lei Dong showed a look of curiosity.

"That's right, how could that doting father of a daughter like Senior Brother gamble with Qianluo's happiness?"

What exactly happened three years ago? Why would my senior brother agree to a martial arts contest to find a husband?

"What do you mean by agreeing? It was he who proposed the martial arts contest to find a husband."

It's all the city lord's fault.

"Master."

"Master Uncle."

"Great City Lord".

Seeing Yin Luoxia sit down to tell a story, the three of them immediately perked up.

Even Xiao Se, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, silently withdrew his left leg.

"Three years ago, your strong liquor flowed into Snow Moon City. In broad daylight, the city lord insisted on dragging the third city lord to try it. As a result, the two of them got drunk."

Just then, the Duan family came to propose marriage. Your father, emboldened by the alcohol and flattered by a few words, became so proud that he insisted on finding you the best husband in the world.

By the time Hanyi and I arrived after receiving the news, your father had already made his intentions clear; he had even set a date for the martial arts contest to choose a husband.

He represents Snowmoon City. Once he's said something, he can't take it back.

In the end, they could only try to suppress the matter. They then put forward additional conditions, which led to this martial arts contest for marriage.

If we hadn't intentionally kept it a secret, and if the Duan family hadn't wanted to attract more competitors, your father would have arranged for you to marry someone from all over the country.

Otherwise, do you think Qianluo would only have this many suitors? The only one she could offer is Duan Xuanyi.

"Or do you think the Ququ Duan family, along with a few third-rate families, can force Snow Moon City to compromise?"

"This senior brother has quite a good idea."

He's a good drinker too; I definitely have to have a proper drink with him another day.

Good grief, he almost gave his daughter away after drinking too much. Lei Dong said, "Senior brother, let's have a drink!"

"Lei Dong, shut up. What kind of lousy wine have you brewed?"

Knowing the whole story, Sikong Qianluo's lips twitched, and she was even more furious when she heard Lei Dong's words.

"What's wrong with this wine of mine? It's essential for business negotiations."
