When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

On the day of the martial arts competition, the entire city of Qingzhou was bustling with unprecedented activity, and the streets were filled with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Many young martial arts practitioners had prepared their gear and were ready to participate in the conference.

After all, the Martial Arts Tournament is an opportunity for every martial artist to stand out. Those martial artists who have cultivated for many years and are promising in their youth are all looking forward to this tournament.

That morning, Lin Xuan got up early and adjusted his state.

Yun Xiyue lay silently in bed, watching Lin Xuan meditate on his own, and a slight ripple appeared in her heart.

She didn't know what was wrong with her last night. She had only come to sleep in the main room because the side room was damp, but after lying on the same bed with Lin Xuan, she inexplicably felt aroused.

She was trying to restrain herself, but when she accidentally touched Lin Xuan's hot body, the desire she had managed to suppress instantly erupted.

She comforted herself, thinking that this was to seduce Lin Xuan, to awaken his possessiveness, to make him unable to resist her, and to make him obey her every command as before.

Yes, that's right.

In order to make Lin Xuan fall for him, it's worth making a small sacrifice.

Yun Xiyue kept reassuring herself, believing that Lin Xuan would definitely become addicted to their lovemaking last night and would be unable to resist her from then on.

Then she could refuse Lin Xuan's request to share a room and thus control him.

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Lin Xuan didn't care about her after waking up early in the morning; he just sat on the bed to adjust his state, which made Yun Xiyue very angry.

I'm such a beautiful woman lying next to you, yet you ignore me completely and instead focus on cultivating!

I'm furious!

"Lin Xuan!" Yun Xiyue suddenly called out.

Lin Xuan frowned, opened his eyes, and said unhappily, "What?"

"You..." Yun Xiyue wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't know how to start.

I can't exactly tell him that I want a hug, can I? Wouldn't that make me seem too pathetic?

No, this isn't despicable; it's a scheme to get Lin Xuan to follow his superiors!

After mentally preparing herself, Yun Xiyue said to Lin Xuan, "I'm so cold, hug me."

Lin Xuan said, "If you're cold, just cover yourself with the blanket."

"It's still cold," Yun Xiyue said.

Lin Xuan said, "Then put on your clothes."

Yun Xiyue was speechless and so angry that she turned her back on Lin Xuan and ignored him completely.

After adjusting his state, Lin Xuan got dressed, got out of bed, and headed to the martial arts competition venue.

Yun Xiyue, left alone in her empty room, kicked the wall in anger to vent her frustration.

"You stinking Lin Xuan, I hate you so much!"

……

Upon arriving at the scene, Lin Xuan met Xun Fu, who had been waiting for him.

"Old Lin, you're really going to participate?" Xun Fu asked, leaning closer.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

Xun Fu said, "I've heard through the grapevine that this martial arts competition is rife with problems."

"How about we just forget about it and go to Wanxianglou instead? It's better than suffering here."

Lin Xuan replied, "No matter how deep the water is this time, I will participate, because my time is limited and I cannot wait another year."

Xun Fu pursed his lips, about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed and he hid behind Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan turned around in confusion and saw that Ouyang Chengdu and the others had also arrived.

No wonder Xun Fu suddenly became so timid.

"Young Master Lin." At this moment, Nalan Qinghan came over to greet Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded and asked, "Are you participating too?"

Nalan Qinghan shook his head and said, "I only came to see Xiyue. Didn't Xiyue come?"

"She's at home," Lin Xuan said.

Nalan Qinghan asked, puzzled, "Why didn't she come?"

"Go ask her, why are you asking me?" Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at Nalan Qinghan.

Nalan Qinghan had nothing to say.

Gradually, more and more people gathered at the scene. Among the many contestants, Lin Xuan saw quite a few young martial artists, and even Yun Xiyue's brother, Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao also noticed Lin Xuan, his expression and eyes filled with provocation.

"Lin Xuan, I'll make you kneel down and beg for mercy on this stage!" Yun Xiao said viciously.

Having suffered a setback in front of the Lin residence last time, Yun Xiao is determined to get his revenge at the Martial Arts Tournament this time.

Moreover, he didn't think Lin Xuan could cause any trouble. After all, this martial arts competition was originally held for him. The entire competition had been bribed by Yun Zhenting, and Yun Xiao was bound to win.

At this moment, Lin Xuan saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a noble demeanor appear before the crowd.

Accompanying her was an elderly man with white hair, wearing a fiery red robe.

The woman was none other than the Thirteenth Prince's Consort, Su Xin, the most beautiful courtesan of Wanxiang Pavilion.

However, without her heavy makeup, she was completely different from Su Xin in Wanxianglou.

If Lin Xuan hadn't possessed such powerful soul energy, he would have had a hard time recognizing Su Xin.

Su Xin and the white-haired old man sat on the high platform, looking down at everything below.

When Su Xin's gaze met Lin Xuan's, Lin Xuan's lips curled up, and he made a gesture.

Su Xin pouted, displeased but not daring to show it, and could only silently look away.

A short while later, Yun Zhenting appeared on the arena.

Looking at the contestants, Yun Zhenting stood with his hands behind his back, his hair and robes fluttering without wind, presenting an air of superiority.

He didn't speak immediately, but stood there silently, scanning the people present as if to establish his authority.

Sure enough, he stood there for a short time, and the noise from the audience subsided until it disappeared completely.

"Fellow youths of Qingzhou, heroes and valiant men!"

"Today, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the autumn wind is refreshing. The annual martial arts competition of Qingzhou City has finally begun as scheduled!"

"I, Yun Zhenting, as the lord of Qingzhou City, am entrusted with this responsibility by the Emperor and the people. Today, I will uphold the rules and administer justice for this grand event!"

Yun Zhenting gave a pretentious opening speech on stage, which made Lin Xuan feel a little nauseous.

If we're talking about hypocrisy, Yun Zhenting is a prime example. On the surface, he presents himself as fair and honest, but in reality, he's all show and no substance.

After Yun Zhenting finished his rambling, he introduced the supervisors sent by the imperial court: the Thirteenth Prince's Consort Liu Suxin and Zhang Yan, the deputy hall master of the Heavenly Fire Hall.

Even now, people are still arriving at the conference venue.

Among those people, Lin Xuan actually spotted the Third Prince, Xiao Zhan.

"Why is he here too?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.

Xiao Zhan also spotted Lin Xuan, frowned, gave a cold snort, and then disappeared into the crowd.

He secretly found a contestant and said to him, "I will use my connections to arrange for you to fight Lin Xuan. You just need to teach him a lesson, but you must not defeat him, because he will be defeated by Yun Xiao himself."

The contestant nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I understand."

"Well, Lin Xuan isn't very strong. You could take him down with one hand, but even so, you have to let him win," Xiao Zhan instructed.

Although he desperately wanted to utterly defeat Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan's status as the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei was still useful. If he were to lose to an unknown nobody, Yun Zhenting's plan would be completely ruined, and Yun Xiao would lose his chance to make a name for himself.

Yun Xiao was promoted by Xiao Zhan and belongs to Xiao Zhan's camp.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan naturally sided with Yun Xiao.

The contestant said, "Your Highness, I'll let him win if he wins, but shouldn't I be able to beat him up pretty badly?"

"Of course, you should not only beat him up, but also humiliate him, so that he feels bad even if he wins or loses," Xiao Zhan sneered.

The contestant also gave a cold laugh and said, "Understood, Your Highness. Just you wait and see."
