The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Mo Wang, who was standing by, also recognized Gu Mingzhao, and he and Cheng Yuan looked at each other in surprise.

I never expected that I would meet him when I came to the black market to buy medicine.

"When did he come here?" Liao Qinglan looked at Situ Li and asked.

"About two or three months ago." Situ Li said, "He was still unconscious when he came. I saw that he looked good, so I used good medicine and took care of him for more than half a month before he recovered. You know what, with him participating in this martial arts competition, my popularity has increased a lot. The stakes on him alone are more than the total of the two sides in previous years."

Liao Qinglan silently calculated the time in her mind.

Two or three months ago, didn’t Gu Mingzhao come here just after he came out of the Dali Temple?

I never expected that he would be so cruel to himself.

His leg injury and prison sentence may not have fully recovered yet, but he came to the black market to participate in such a dangerous competition.

Her gaze turned to the fighting arena again.

Gu Mingzhao's body looks much stronger than before.

Maybe he had never gone out of Jinyu Tower, so his face, which was not dark to begin with, now looked even whiter, forming a sharp contrast with those warriors with dark skin.

Most people who practice martial arts have rough appearance.

Especially in this underground fighting arena, the people who participated in the competition every year in the past were often tall and strong with strong muscles, giving people a ferocious feeling.

Gu Mingzhao's handsome face is like a breath of fresh air here, refreshing to the eyes.

No wonder he can attract so many female audiences to scream crazily for him.

Situ Li shook his head and advised earnestly: "For the sake of my second brother, I still want to remind you that Long Yin is a difficult person to deal with."

"I see."

She knew better than anyone how difficult it was for Gu Mingzhao to handle this matter.

No matter how good you are to him, you can't warm his stone heart.

Situ Li continued, "He has countless suitors. After every competition, he would send her medicine, water, flowers, and handkerchiefs, but he never responded."

Well...it's indeed his character.

Liao Qinglan stared at the people on the fighting stage without saying a word.

Gu Mingzhao was used to using swords. In just a short period of time, many people had bought many famous swords from the weapon rack and specifically asked to give them to him.

"I bought the Tai'a Sword."

A young female voice echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone present took a deep breath.

The Taia Sword is a famous sword from ancient times. Many people have heard of it, but this is the first time they have seen it.

The most important thing is that this sword is worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, making it the most expensive sword on the display stand.

The sword is heavy and full of endless power, and the blade is sharp. You can tell at first glance that it is an extraordinary item.

The sound came from the fourth-floor terrace right below Liao Qinglan and the others.

Situ Li showed an expression of "as expected" and said proudly, "The one who just spoke was Qin Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the richest man in Beijing. She is a powerful character. Ever since Long Yin made his mark in the fighting arena, she has been pursuing him relentlessly. I prepared this Tai'a sword specially for her, and it really didn't disappoint me."

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Qin Xiaoxiao was seen slowly walking down from the fourth floor.

She was wearing an elegant red dress, with a delicate face and slightly upturned red lips, and it was obvious that she had been carefully dressed up.

She wore all kinds of exquisite jewelry in her hair, sparkling with gold, all of which showed off her status and financial resources.

Everyone tactfully stepped aside to make way for her.

Qin Xiaoxiao walked calmly towards the fighting arena step by step, her eyes always fixed on Gu Mingzhao.

"Mr. Long, if I give you the Taia sword, would you be willing to follow me in the future?" Qin Xiaoxiao walked up to Gu Mingzhao and looked at him expectantly.

Gu Mingzhao acted as if he didn't hear her words and casually waved the swords that someone had just given him to see which one suited him better.

Someone recognized Qin Xiaoxiao and started to make a noise: "Miss Qin, you have so many male lovers. Aren't you afraid that Young Master Long will beat up all your other male lovers when he returns?"

Qin Xiaoxiao usually behaves in an absurd way, and everyone in the capital knows it.

She was twenty years old and still unmarried, and she openly kept five or six male lovers at home.

All of these male concubines are handsome and strong young men.

She was not shy about it and often went out and feasted with them, which attracted countless criticisms.

Qin Xiaoxiao was neither angry nor annoyed when she heard this, and she spoke calmly: "If Young Master Long agrees to marry into the Qin family, I will treat him as a legitimate husband and dismiss all the concubines in the backyard for you."

Gu Mingzhao glanced at her coldly, not concealing the disgust and ridicule in his eyes.

He sneered, as if mocking Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao has been spoiled since she was a child. She felt that she had shown great sincerity, but she did not expect Gu Mingzhao to still have such an attitude. She felt greatly insulted.

"Who do you think you are! I can give the sword to you, and I can also give it to your opponent. If you don't agree, I will give the sword to Lu Renjia right now. You better think about it carefully!"

Everyone could see that Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to use both threats and inducements to force Long Yin to agree to her.

Gu Mingzhao raised his hand and made a "please" gesture towards Lu Renjia.

Qin Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was shaking all over.

She never thought that someone would dare to ignore her face in public. She took Tai'a from the servant and walked straight to Lu Renjia at the other end of the fighting arena.

"Lu..." Looking at the burly man with a face full of flesh in front of her, Qin Xiaoxiao really couldn't call him "Young Master".

"Master Lu, I'll give you this Tai'a sword. I have only one request. Please let Long Yin live. I want to see his expression of deep regret!"

After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Mingzhao provocatively, but found that Gu Mingzhao didn't take them seriously at all. He was still trying the sword.

Lu Renjia took the sword, joy flashed in his eyes, and he thanked Qin Xiaoxiao repeatedly.

He saw that Qin Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied with Gu Mingzhao. He accepted the gift and intended to vent her anger. He swung his sword at the sword that Gu Mingzhao had just tried.

With a crisp sound, the sword broke into two pieces in an instant.

The whole audience was in an uproar, all shocked by the power of the Taia Sword.

The women's wails rose one after another.

"What should I do? Will Long Yin lose?"

"Can we please stop competing? This isn't fair!"

"Long Yin, just agree to her! Otherwise you will die!"

Some people in the audience were almost crying and shouting desperately.

Lu Renjia is twice as big as Gu Mingzhao, and with the support of the Taia Sword, how could Gu Mingzhao be his opponent!

Zhu Cong saw that the scene was somewhat chaotic and secretly felt lucky that his master had a backup plan.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Zhu Cong's voice echoed in the venue, attracting everyone's attention.

"Jinyulou also has the ancient sword 'Longyuan' which is as famous as Tai'a. It has always been a treasure of my master. The Longyuan sword was not originally for sale, but considering the fairness of the martial arts competition, the master is willing to part with it with the same price of 200,000 taels."

As soon as Chu Cong finished speaking, the whole place fell silent again.

Two more servants, under the gaze of everyone, brought out a famous sword.

The sword was full of brilliance, as if it contained the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars.

The sword blade is extremely sharp and flashes with cold light.

There is a dragon pattern engraved on the hilt, which looks like a winding dragon and is lifelike.

There is also a dazzling gem inlaid at the end, like a dragon eye, emitting light.

It is indeed a good sword, not inferior to the Taia Sword just now.
