Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

"What?!"

These words exploded like a thunderclap in the crowd, and everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"Really? Doesn't Senior Brother Ye Han have a fiancée? Why would he confess his feelings to the Holy Maiden?"

"They broke off the engagement a long time ago! I heard his fiancée, whose cultivation has regressed, is still shouting 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a poor young woman,' which has quite an impact locally~~"

"Ah? I feel a chill run down my spine. Senior Brother Ye Han is in grave danger. Will his fiancée attack the Guanghan Immortal Palace in a few years?"

"Pah! Stop reading those worthless, low-brow novels!"

"I heard that Zhuang Bifan, the number one genius of Qingzhou, has emerged from seclusion and is still pursuing Her Highness the Holy Maiden intensely. Although Senior Brother Ye Han is quite good, he is still far behind Zhuang Bifan, and the Ye family's power is not as great as the Zhuang family's. Isn't Ye Han afraid of Zhuang Bifan?"

"You know nothing! Being in the right place at the right time means you get the moon first. Her Highness the Holy Maiden is from our Guanghan Immortal Palace, so why should we be afraid of that Zhuang Bifan? Besides, I heard that Senior Brother Ye Han's Ye family is a branch of the Ye family in Zhongzhou. If we really compare their backgrounds, Senior Brother Ye Han might not necessarily lose to that Zhuang Bifan!"

"My goodness! Senior Sister and Third Senior Brother fell in love during the Grand Competition back then, and I never expected Senior Brother Ye Han to recreate that beautiful story!"

After the initial shock, a burst of excited chatter erupted in the square. Many female disciples, their eyes filled with longing, exclaimed, "How romantic! If we could witness Senior Brother Ye Han confessing his love to the Holy Maiden, this competition would have been worthwhile!"

"I wonder how Senior Brother Ye Han will confess his feelings? Will he express his love through a sword dance, or will he present him with a priceless treasure?"

"No matter how I confess my feelings, it's bound to be incredibly touching! I'm already looking forward to the finals!"

"I also want to confess my feelings to Junior Brother Xu Fan, but I'm too shy to do so~~"

"Hehe~~ I want him too! Senior Brother Xu Fan is the most handsome man in our Immortal Palace. It was fine before because he had Junior Sister Meng Yao with him, but now I heard they broke up. I want him!"

"What's the use of being good-looking? On the path of cultivation, strength reigns supreme!" A male disciple immediately retorted disdainfully, curling his lip. "Xu Fan's aptitude is only Heavenly Grade; compared to Senior Brother Ye Han, he's far inferior!"

These words instantly ignited a powder keg, and several female disciples who secretly admired Xu Fan immediately surrounded him.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her tone was filled with anger:

"How dare you speak like that? Senior Brother Xu's good looks are everything! Besides, Senior Brother Xu has excellent talent; he just hasn't put all his mind into cultivation. If he really got serious, he might not be any worse than Ye Han!"

"Exactly! You're still better than a toad like you. Your cultivation is mediocre, but you're quite the chatterbox. Anyone who didn't know better would think you had top-tier immortal talent!"

"Dare to slander Senior Brother Xu? Believe me, we'll make you regret it!"

"Hmph! Don't even mention Senior Brother Xu Fan, even Old Master Xu who does odd jobs in the back mountain is ten thousand times better than you!"

"That's right, I'd rather be tortured by Master Xu than give you a second glance!"

The Moon Palace was predominantly populated by women, and with their sharp tongues, the male disciple was instantly rendered speechless, blushing and unable to refute them.

What angered him most was—

Who is Grandpa Xu?

He's from a prestigious family, so how come he's not as good as an old man?

"..." Xu Pingsheng, standing in the crowd, twitched his lips slightly, utterly speechless.

How did he become a unit of measurement?

Furthermore, Xu Pingsheng has high standards; he doesn't just blindly follow people!

Just then, a clear, cold bell tolled through the sky, three long and two short tones, its sound lingering and far-reaching—the signal that the competition was about to begin.

The noisy square fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to the fighting arena in the center of the square.

A graceful figure dressed in a light blue dress slowly appeared on the high platform next to the fighting arena.

It was none other than Chu Yunyao, the second senior sister of the Immortal Palace.

For a competition of this caliber, like the Newcomer Grand Competition, the three Palace Masters would not appear; it would usually be hosted by the top-ranking senior sisters and brothers of the sect.

On the high platform.

Chu Yunyao raised her hand in greeting, her voice clear and melodious like jade striking jade, amplified by spiritual energy and resonating throughout the entire plaza:

"The purpose of the Newcomer Competition is to select talented individuals and encourage new disciples of the sect to improve their cultivation. Today's first match will be represented by the Holy Maiden Wen Lingxi, whose opponent is Ye Han. I hope that you two will give it your all, exchange skills, and stop when you've reached a point."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

"What? The first match is the Holy Maiden versus Ye Han?"

"What incredible luck! One is an ice spirit body that appears only once every three thousand years, and the other is the number one newcomer in the Celestial Palace. This battle is truly a visual feast!"

"What coincidence? This is clearly a deliberate arrangement by the sect to set an example for all the new disciples!"

"Hehe~~ I love watching men and women fight~~"

"Oh? I like it too, do you dare?"

"have!"

"Come on, let's go to the corner and borrow a phone to talk."

"..."

Amidst the murmurs, two figures slowly stepped onto the dueling platform.

Wen Lingxi wore a moon-white gauze dress with delicate ice crystal patterns embroidered on the hem. As she walked, it seemed as if moonlight flowed around her. A faint chill surrounded her, and wherever she passed, the air condensed slightly, and fine ice mist rose. The aura of her ice spirit body was revealed without reservation.

Her face was aloof, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her eyes were calm and undisturbed, like a fairy sculpted from ice and jade, making people dare not look directly at her, but only admire her from afar.

As for Ye Han, he is a man.

The moment Wen Lingxi appeared, the entire square became so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone held their breath.

nice!

So beautiful!

Wen Lingxi usually lives a secluded life, following the Grand Palace Master in cultivation. Many people have only heard of her name but have never seen her in person.

This time, only after truly seeing Wen Lingxi's face did I realize that the title of the most beautiful young woman in Qingzhou was well-deserved.

Even Xu Pingsheng, who had only met him once, nodded secretly.

As expected of someone with a 95-point appearance as determined by the system, she looks stunning after just a little makeup today.

If you then wear black stockings, a camisole, a bodycon skirt, etc...

"Gulp~~"

Xu Pingsheng swallowed hard.

I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it at all!

A few seconds later.

The elder referee, holding a whisk, his robes fluttering even without wind, shouted loudly, "The contest begins!"

Wen Lingxi slightly raised her hand, her skirt swaying as she nodded slightly and said:

"Senior Brother Ye, please!"

however.

To her surprise, Ye Han did not make any move. Instead, he knelt down on one knee with a "plop," and a large cluster of blooming, dark blue flowers appeared in his hand. The petals were layered and the center was decorated with fine silver powder.

It is the "Moon Heart Orchid" unique to the Moon Palace, which can only bloom after absorbing the moonlight for thousands of years in extremely cold places, making it extremely rare.

Wen Lingxi froze, her face filled with astonishment.

Is he about to confess his feelings?

For some reason, the image of the old man who confessed his love to her six months ago suddenly popped into her mind.

"Whoosh—!"

This scene was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly shattering the entire Celestial Palace Square.

"He really confessed! Senior Brother Ye Han actually confessed to the Holy Maiden during the competition!"
