Chapter 61: Three Generations of Outstanding Women

  The business alliance is really lively.

  The five major families are still searching everywhere for a person named "Ding Yan", while the Xuanhuan Pavilion has also joined in, searching all around for someone called "Yang Hai". However, unlike the others, the Xuanhuan Pavilion is not using brute force to find people. Instead, they are using a method of enticement - as long as you can prove that you are Yang Hai, you can come to the Xuanhuan Pavilion to receive 100 Purple Crystal Coins.

  Due to the upcoming martial arts conference, the flow of people in Shangmeng is indeed endless. The abnormal behavior of the Five Great Families and Xuanhuan Pavilion has raised suspicions, but most people are still here for the martial arts conference.

  For a time, the wine houses and inns of Tianyuan City were all packed to bursting.

  In the dark forest, dead silent swamp, and clouded mountain range, the mercenaries and warriors who gather are all arrogant and cruel. Even when they come to Tianyun City, they will not be peaceful, often getting into verbal arguments and then engaging in fierce battles, fighting for their lives.

  Regardless of day or night, Tianyun City is never short of martial artists fighting, and every early morning, the cleaning personnel will occasionally find a few new corpses in some stinky sewers.

  There are still three days until the martial arts competition.

  Early in the morning, Zuo Xū was still meditating with his eyes closed when he heard a shout from outside: "Hey, old man, you're here?"

  "How many times have I told you, don't call me old man in front of outsiders!" A voice came from outside, sounding like Chi Ying was crying and laughing at the same time.

  "You're just an old man, you've gotten used to it and can't change back." Zuo Shi said with a smile.

  Zuo Yu's spirit was shocked, and he suddenly stood up, hastily rushing out to greet him, thinking that you have finally arrived.

  ……

  Shi family

  An old crone with a face full of wrinkles, in the gravity room, holding a brush, added several heavy strokes to the brow of the stone rock.

  Shi Jian stood by, speechless, intently watching the old woman's movements.

  After a long while, the old woman withdrew her hand and stared at Shi Yan for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. "Over this period of time, I've come every day to help him change his appearance bit by bit," she said. "His looks have been changing subtly with each passing day, and even people who know him well wouldn't be able to notice the gradual changes. Compared to how he looked a few months ago, he's changed a lot now, so I don't think anyone would be able to recognize him."

  Shi Yan's skin had darkened a lot, his eyebrows were slightly thicker, and his physique was also slightly more robust.

  Compared with his previous appearance, he lost a few points of sharpness and gained a few points of ruggedness. Whether it's his looks or temperament, there's a big difference.

  Especially after returning from the dark forest, he grew a lot taller and more robust, and was also tampered with by a disguise artist. Now, compared to the time in the dark forest, he is indeed not like the same person.

  Shi Jian stared at Shi Yan for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad, should be no problem now."

  Shi Yan himself walked up to the copper mirror and took a look, seemingly quite satisfied. "Alright, is the martial arts conference starting now?"

  "In three days, you don't have to work hard anymore, just relax. " Shi Jian finally let go, and then seemed to remember something, and sternly lectured: "Letting you relax is not letting you be reckless! Don't think I don't know what you've been up to with Han Zhong! Hmph, if you dare to waste your energy on women, I'll skin you alive!"

  "Really troublesome." Shi Yan's face was full of impatience, and he said lightly: "I'm going to take a bath, and then go have some drinks with Han Zhong later. Is that not okay?"

  "Uh-huh."

  ……

  Welcoming Spring Pavilion

  This is a very famous restaurant in Tianyuan City. Not only are the dishes delicious, but there's also the famous "Inferno" wine of the Merchant Guild.

  In addition, Yingchun Pavilion is also adjacent to Bihu Lake in Tianyancheng. On the third floor of Yingchun Pavilion without shelter, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and admiring the beautiful scenery are all great pleasures.

  If you can still hold a beauty in your arms, it's perfect.

  However, the third floor of Yingchun Pavilion is not a place where anyone can go, even if one has enough wealth but lacks status, they can only condescend to the second floor.

  The third floor of the Spring Welcome Pavilion, most of the guests entertained here are from the five major families, and only those from the five major families can come in and take a seat directly on the third floor after arriving, ordinary merchants do not have this honor.

  Han Zhong led Shi Yan to the Yingchun Pavilion, where a water spirit girl at the entrance greeted them with a smile: "Master Han, please go upstairs."

  Han Zhong narrowed his eyes, his gaze swept around the girl's body, and praised: "Xiao Feng, you've grown a lot bigger there!" After speaking, Han Zhong's eyes fiercely brushed against the girl's plump chest.

  "Mr. Han is really bad, he always stares at people there." You Niang smiled shyly, with a unique charm, pointing upstairs and saying: "There are other guests upstairs, the young masters and misses of the Mo and Ling families are all there, Mr. Han should have some restraint in his heart."

  "It doesn't matter." Han Zhong smiled and stopped teasing that girl, pulling Shi Yan straight up to the third floor.

  "Huh!" A tall young man, wearing a dark blue martial artist's uniform, glanced at Han Zhong from a good position on the third floor and sneered: "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be a dog from the Shi family."

  That location was right opposite Bimei Lake, and there were four people sitting together, two men and two women, all of whom looked quite outstanding.

  One of them, with an expression of cold arrogance, was none other than Mo Yan Yu. However, Mo Yan Yu didn't even glance this way, her clear and cold eyes fixed on the rippling waters of Biyue Lake under the sunlight, as if lost in thought.

  "Oh, so it's the Mo family's pest, how annoying." Han Zhong shook his head and ignored him, pulling Shi Yan to a position, then loudly shouted: "Dragon Innkeeper, bring four jars of 'Blazing Flame', serve up a good table of dishes, hurry up!"

  "Right away!" A hearty response came from upstairs.

  At this time, Mo Yan Yu, who was staring at Bi Yue Lake in a daze, seemed to have just woken up, turned her head and gave Han Zhong and Shi Yan a cold glance. A hint of disdain flashed across her face before she turned back to continue gazing at the lake, lost in thought.

  Across from Mo Yan Yu sat a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor.

  The young man smiled harmoniously, chatting with Mo Jia's young master while secretly paying attention to Mo Yan Yu, seemingly wanting to hook up Mo Yan Yu's interest with words, but unfortunately, he couldn't succeed.

  "Shaofeng, Xiaoyu has been scolded by my dad recently and hasn't been in a good mood. Don't mind him." Mo Zhan clinked his cup with him and said: "Let's not bother about him, we two brothers will drink a few more cups. The martial arts competition is about to start soon, and it's only these two days that we can sneak in some leisure time, don't be too hard on yourself."

  "War Big Brother, when have you ever been unfair to yourself?" Ling Yueyue smiled and looked at Mo Zhan with a sly gaze: "I heard that War Big Brother has mastered the entrance of 'Spring Breeze Rain Dew Pavilion'! When will you take your little sister to experience it?"

  "Cough, cough!" Mo Zhan was choked by the wine and said awkwardly: "Mei Mei, believe me, I'm innocent! That kind of place, I'm not familiar with it at all! The only time, was also being deceived to go there, Mei Mei, you must believe me!"

  "Hehe, who knows if what you said is true or false." Ling Yueyue's mouth still had a smile, but her eyes gradually added some other meaning. "A while ago, I was praised by my sisters, saying that my fiancé hadn't even married me yet, and already had a harem of wives and concubines. They said that in the future, I could have many, many maids serving me, just thinking about it makes me happy."

  "Cough! Cough! Cough!"

  Mo's face turned somewhat unsightly, his complexion iron-green, and he snorted: "Who is it that's been slandering me behind my back? Let me know who it is, I'll definitely flay him alive!"

  "Alright, alright!" Ling Shaofeng glared at his sister and said, "War brother is a man, sometimes some social engagements can't be avoided. I trust War brother's character!"

  "Of course you trust him." Ling Yue hummed softly and whispered, "Who doesn't know that you two went together? Of course you trust him."

  Mo Yan Yu heard this, turned her head to glance at Ling Shao Feng, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly somewhat displeased. However, she didn't say much either, and instead turned her head towards Bi Yue Lake, but her expression became increasingly indifferent.

  "We'll settle this when we get back!"

  Ling Shaofeng glared at Ling Yuemei and quickly changed the subject, saying to Mo Zhan: "Zhan Ge, that Shi Tianyan is also in the First Heaven of the Three Heavens, and he's even more formidable than Shi Tianke. I heard he's been cultivating extremely hard recently. Last time during the Martial Arts Assembly, he hadn't emerged yet, but this time he'll definitely come out. Although you won against Shi Tianke last time, you can't be careless this time either."

  "Don't worry, those guys from the Shi family's three generations, I haven't put anyone in my eyes yet!" Mo Zhan smiled proudly and coldly glanced at Han Zhong, saying: "You watch, this time's martial arts competition, whoever collides with me, I'll make them disabled!"

  "Good, War Brother is indeed generous! " Ling Shaofeng laughed loudly and raised his cup: "Come on, War Brother, let's have one!"

  ……

  "There are four people on that side, namely Ling Shaofeng, Ling Yuemei, Mo Zhan and Mo Yanyu. These four are the third-generation elites of the Mo and Ling families and are most likely to be your opponents in the martial arts conference. Among them, Ling Shaofeng and Mo Yanyu have a marriage contract, while Mo Zhan and Ling Yuemei also have a marriage contract. Mo Zhan and Ling Shaofeng are both at the First Heaven of the Three Heavens realm, while Mo Yanyu is slightly inferior but has cultivation at the Second Heaven of the Two Heavens realm."

  Han Zhong lowered his voice and told Shi Yan about the situation on that side, then paused for a moment before continuing: "However, the one we can't underestimate is Ling Yueyue! We recently received news that Ling Yueyue broke through to the Human Rank boundary half a year ago and has now become the strongest of the three generations of the Ling family. This time's martial arts competition, the Ling family might arrange for Ling Yueyue to fight against Zuo Shi. It's said that in order to let Ling Yueyue win, the Ling family spent a lot of money on her, not only buying expensive spiritual medicine but also getting her several secret treasures for protection. Zuo Shi is likely to be in trouble this time."

  "It's not necessarily." Shi Yan smiled and glanced at Ling Yue casually, saying in a low voice: "Zuo Shi is much stronger than her, just watch, she will lose miserably!"

  Zuo Shi obtained "Longgui Dan" and "Xuanwu Zhenjing", as well as a set of "Longgui Lingjia", which Han Zhong was unaware of.

  With so many aces in hand, Zuo Shi is almost guaranteed to win, and what's more, Zuo Shi's skills are slightly higher than Ling Yue's.

  "What did you just say, kid?"

  At this moment, Ling Yue suddenly stood up and coldly snorted: "Are you saying I'm not as good as Zuo Shi? Do you think I didn't hear? Let me tell you, Miss is still very perceptive! Talking behind people's backs, are all of you from the Shi family so despicable?"
