Chapter 481 Come prepared
In this Douqi Continent, there are countless talented people; there are also many handsome and graceful men; there are also many men with peerless martial arts and superb martial arts skills; but those who can combine talent, beauty and superb martial arts in one person are extremely rare!
So from the time Xu Yuexi proposed those three conditions until now, so many years have passed, and no one has been able to meet them!
Over the years, whenever Xu Yuexi was proposed to by a man in any country, she used the three conditions to stop him, and she never thought about getting married again.
Unexpectedly, in Lengyue Country, there is someone who can confidently say that he can meet the three conditions. This aroused Xu Yuexi's curiosity.
When the husbands heard the news, they all gathered around Xu Yuexi.
"My dear wife, my father has asked someone to invite him into the palace. Do you want to go and see him?" Leng Molin asked.
"No hurry! Since you are here to ask for marriage, you must meet three conditions at the same time. Moreover, these conditions cannot be met just because he says so.
Feng Qing, take Xingchen with you to have a look first. Once he meets those three conditions, it won’t be too late for me to go and see him later.”
"it is good!"
Tang Liuqing and Ouyang Xingchen walked towards the main hall.
"Master, if this man really meets the three conditions of my wife, do you think I will marry him?" Ouyang Xingchen asked.
"If this man really meets the requirements, the wife will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to. Otherwise, how can she stop the gossips in the world?" Tang Liuqing replied.
They all knew that Xu Yuexi had proposed those three conditions because she didn't want to marry again. Xu Yuexi's status was not ordinary. Over the years, there were so many people who wanted to marry her, from all over the world. If she broke her promise, the consequences could be imagined!
"That's right! Fortunately, there are only a few people who meet the requirements. Otherwise, I'm really worried that our wife will be so angry that she will jump up and down!"
Ouyang Xingchen couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.
When Tang Liuqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.
The two of them simultaneously recalled the scene when Xu Yuexi was always confessed to by others. Her angry look was so cute and funny.
When Tang Liuqing and Ouyang Xingchen arrived at the main hall, the area around the hall was full of people. Leng Tianxiang did not stop the people in the palace from coming to watch. It seemed that they were all very curious about these people.
The two of them walked into the hall side by side. At the top, Leng Tianxiang and Xu Yan and his wife were sitting and chatting. In the middle of the hall stood two men, one in blue and one in black.
The man in black robes was particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a large black cloak that wrapped his entire body. The black cloak was extremely tight, revealing only a pair of deep and mysterious eyes, making it difficult to peek into his true face.
Tang Liuqing and Ouyang Xingchen looked at each other. It was another man in black robe, and he was a cultivator. Could he be an accomplice of the man in black robe from the Lieyan Country?
"Master, the other party has a high level of cultivation, we have to be careful!" Ouyang Xingchen whispered to Tang Liuqing.
Ever since there was spiritual energy in Ruyi Space, Xu Yuexi asked her husbands to learn to practice it as well.
Strangely enough, in the previous life, Tang Liuqing, even though he was the child of destiny and the darling of heaven, could not practice. But for some reason, he could in this life.
Not only he can do it, other husbands can do it too.
But they are not like Xu Yuexi.
Xu Yuexi is a rare spiritual being with extraordinary talents. His path of cultivation can be described as smooth and rapid.
In comparison, her husbands were not so lucky. Their spiritual roots were generally poor, and their cultivation progress was extremely slow. Most of them were currently only at the second level of Qi Refining, and they still had a long way to go to reach a higher level.
Among all these men, only Ouyang Xingchen was slightly better. He was only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. It was precisely because of this that he became more sensitive to the unique aura emanating from the immortal cultivators.
Tang Liuqing and Ouyang Xingchen stepped forward and saluted the three people at the top. After the ceremony, Tang Liuqing said to the two men, "May I ask what your names are?"
"In reply to Lord Tang, my name is Di Ying, and I am my young master Li Jingtian. I am from Nancheng, and I came to the Imperial City for a visit recently. When I heard that the Crown Princess wanted to find a husband, I came here to take a chance." The man in blue named Di Ying replied respectfully.
Tang Liuqing didn't believe a word of what Di Ying said.
But he would not delve into it. After all, the other party was a cultivator, and he must have other purposes for coming to him. Before he knew the other party's true purpose, he would just treat the other party as someone who came to ask for marriage.
"Di Ying, do you know that marrying the Crown Princess is conditional, and three conditions must be met at the same time. Are you sure your young master can do it?" Tang Liuqing said.
"In reply to Lord Tang, my young master can certainly do it."
"Oh? In that case, please take off your cloak and show your true face. Appearance is the first test. If you are not as handsome as the one next to me, you will not pass it."
"Master?"
Di Ying turned around and waited for the black-robed man to nod slightly to show his permission before he stepped forward cautiously and took off the cloak from the man bit by bit.
When the last piece of cloth left the man's body, the face that had been hidden in the darkness was completely revealed to everyone.
In an instant, the surroundings became lively.
It was an extremely handsome face, as if it was carefully carved. Especially those eyes, which were like a deep lake, dark and bright. When they looked at someone, they seemed to be able to see through all the secrets in the heart.
"Master Tang, I wonder if my young master's appearance can pass the test?"
"Xingchen, what do you think?"
Tang Liuqing said this and looked at Ouyang Xingchen.
"This Mr. Li is extremely handsome, indeed better than me. But, this Mr. Li has never spoken a word, could he be a disabled person?" Ouyang Xingchen said.
"In reply to Lord Ouyang, my young master is not mute, he just doesn't like to talk, so I am the one expressing it for him."
"Don't like to talk? How can a man who doesn't like to talk please his wife? My wife is of noble status. Mr. Li, do you really want my wife to condescend to please you? Or is this dislike of talking just an excuse?"
"Don't misunderstand, Ouyang Cejun. I am not dumb, and I definitely don't mean what you think."
Forced into this situation, Li Jingtian had to explain.
He was now certain that there was no one nearby with a higher level of cultivation than him. The only cultivators were the two in front of him, and they were still in the early stages of Qi Refining, so they were not to be feared.
"In that case, please go to the second level, Mr. Li..."
Tang Liuqing then read out the questions for the second level that Xu Yuexi had prepared.
Over the years, someone has solved the problem with the second condition posed by Xu Yuexi.
But in order to prevent people from cheating on the answers, Xu Yuexi required that all three questions must be solved at the same time. Moreover, if anyone successfully solved any of the three questions, that question would be invalidated, and she would prepare a new question to replace the one that had been solved. She also ordered her servants to post the news and let everyone know.
Therefore, the three questions have been changing over the years and are not fixed.
However, of the three questions prepared by Xu Yuexi, the first one was an eternally difficult couplet, and no one had been able to figure it out for all these years; the second one was an arithmetic problem that had been changed several times; and the third one was a brain teaser, which, although not very difficult, was novel and many people could not figure it out, and it had only been changed twice in all these years.
Although these three questions were difficult for people in this world, Li Jingtian answered them unexpectedly in less than two hours.
"My Lord, it seems this man came prepared!"
