chasing autumn

Three days later.

Fang Zi'an finally agreed to the martial arts competition that Fang Li requested.After a lot of tossing, Fang Zi'an couldn't help it, just like he often said on weekdays, although Xiaoli is a weak child, he always has his own ideas.In order to convince them, Fang Li even went on a hunger strike, and only then did he get his parents' approval.It's just that the aunt of the Fang family didn't understand. One is: Why does Fang Li suddenly want to marry someone; the other is: the arena has already been set up today, where did Chen Xiao go?

"Oh, this is Yu Shi Zhongcheng's daughter!"

"The length is really beautiful!"

"If you marry Yushi Zhongcheng's daughter, then you will be on the rise!"

Under the arena, people came here admiringly, and it was already crowded.Some were holding swords, gearing up and eager to try, while others were drinking herbal tea and fanning themselves just to watch the excitement.On the arena, Fang Zi'an sat in the middle, on the left sat Mrs. Fang and the Fang family's aunt, and behind them were the royal guards specially sent by the emperor to protect the arena.Fang Li was sitting on the right side, and Xiao Fang was standing behind him. Xiao Fang clasped her hands tightly and exclaimed from time to time following the thrilling fights on the field, but couldn't hide her worry.

"Miss," Xiaofang said hesitantly, "Although these people are all good at martial arts, but you really want to..."

"I will marry whoever wins before sunset."

Fang Li deadpanned and repeated what he said at the start of the competition this morning.

Her expression was very calm, as if she didn't care about the outcome of the fight, as if she was just a bystander, as if she wasn't the one who started the fight today to recruit relatives.

In the far distance, the sun gradually lowered, and red clouds appeared.

She looked straight at the audience, people's cheers and discussions made her feel irritated, and people's pointing eyes made her a little shy.But at this time, these are no longer important to her. What is important is that she has just learned that her feelings have been deceived, by the person she loves the most!

Isn't he going to marry Fang Zi'an's daughter? !Why didn't he dare to come? !

In front of the window on the second floor of the restaurant not far away, Fang Xu was wearing a huge bamboo hat, which was so low that it almost covered half of his face.He looked anxiously at the fight in the arena, and watched Fang Zian stroke his beard and sigh.

What the hell is she thinking, is she crazy? ...

Another person fell off the ring, causing a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

On the stage, the aunt of the Fang family finally couldn't bear it and walked over, leaned over and asked softly: "Xiao Li, let me figure it out, these people are reckless, why do you..."

Fang Li looked at her and said with a faint smile, "No, I've already made up my mind, no matter what the result is, I don't regret it."

The aunt of the Fang family had no choice but to shake her head and back away.When he was about to sit down, he heard a clear voice:

"If you want to marry Fang Li, you have to ask me first!"

As soon as the words fell, a handsome young man flew out from the crowd and stood firmly on the high platform.He was holding a Qingfeng sword in his hand, and as soon as he stood firmly, he had already set his posture. He smiled contemptuously at the big man who was swinging the ax on the stage: "You dare to come up and fight with your three-legged cat!"

"Xiao'er?" Fang Zi'an stood up in shock when he saw the person coming.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm more than enough to beat him!" After Chen Xiao said that, he drew his sword and went to the big man.

Mrs. Fang and my aunt next to me were all sad.Mrs. Fang couldn't help sighing: "Xiao'er is here, now I feel relieved." The aunt nodded repeatedly, "If I can marry into the Chen family, I won't lose Xiaoli. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and the Chen family and us can be regarded as good friends. That's right."

However, the appearance of Chen Xiao did not make Fang Li feel the slightest pleasure.Fang Li frowned slightly.

Brother Xiao, why are you here?You really like me? ... Or, you are just afraid that I will marry the wrong person indiscriminately, and you are afraid that I will be wronged...

Just as he was thinking, he saw Chen Xiao's sword resting on the big man's neck, forcing the big man to retreat several steps, and finally retreated from the ring angrily.There was another burst of applause from the crowd.

Chen Xiao bowed his hands to the audience, and said: "Who else wants to challenge? Come up quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior in white jumped up. Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao secretly smiled, drew his sword to parry.

Amidst the sound of swords colliding, people in the audience whispered to each other and nodded frequently, as if they all felt that the two people's skills were not weak, and it could be said that they were evenly matched.At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly flicked the sword in his hand, and cut a bloody mouth on the chest of the white-clothed warrior.The white-clothed warrior quickly backed up a few steps, but before he could stand still, Chen Xiao suddenly dodged to the side, and at the same time held the sword in his hand across his shoulder, only to hear two "ding ding", two hidden weapons collided with the sword, and then They fell on the stage one after another.

Everyone was surprised, and then looked at the sword in Chen Xiao's hand, only to see two red lines like blood veins appearing on it, extending to the hilt of the sword, and gradually disappearing after a while.

"Poisonous..." Chen Xiao glanced at the sword in his hand, turned his head and shouted, "The skills are not as good as others, and it is really shameless to use such insidious means!" Defeated, shyly retreated from the ring amidst the insults of the crowd.Afterwards, several people stepped onto the arena to compete with Chen Xiao one after another. Their sharp weapons intersected and their movements intertwined. Everyone was dazzled and applauded.

But Fang Li, who sat quietly by the side, kept looking down the stage, not attracted by the fight on the field.

Why didn't he dare to come? ...

Can he really watch me marry someone else?Is it really possible to be indifferent?

Just as she was thinking, a familiar figure under the stage suddenly lit up her eyes, Fang Li stood up in shock,

"Fire lotus!"

Fang Li's voice startled everyone, everyone looked in the direction she was looking at, and all of a sudden they all focused on Yu Huolian.

Originally, Yu Huolian saw Chen Xiao winning all the way in the audience, with martial arts overwhelming the field, turned around and was about to leave, but when she heard Fang Li's shout, her footsteps could not help but pause.Seeing that he was about to leave again, Fang Li quickly ran down the ring, calling his name anxiously, Fang Zi'an and Mrs. Fang also stood up in shock when they saw him.Hearing Fang Li's constant calls, Yu Huolian frowned, and felt that her feet were filled with lead, and she couldn't move for a while.

"Huo Lian, don't go!" Fang Li hugged him from behind, dragging his footsteps.

Yu Huolian stood still, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "You already know the truth, why are you still...Xiao Li, don't do things that hurt yourself..."

"Huo Lian, I've thought about it," Fang Li pulled his sleeve tightly, with tears in his eyes, "I think, I can tell what is true and what is false. You want me to believe you...I believe In this life, no matter who you are, what status you are, or what you do, I want to be by your side, I just want to be by your side!... If you are a life-seeking Rakshasa from the underworld, then take my soul alright!

After Fang Li finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.At this time, Chen Xiao had already walked over, and said with a loud smile to everyone: "There is no need to compete! I have already competed with this brother earlier, and compared with him, my kung fu is far behind!" See Everyone still looked suspiciously, Chen Xiao walked up to Yu Huolian again, cupped his hands and said, "Chen Xiao is willing to bow down."

After speaking, people talked for a while.Several people laughed and shouted: "So this is Miss Fang's real son!"

Fang Li said suspiciously: "Brother Xiao, you..."

Chen Xiao approached, and said with a low laugh: "It was he who grabbed me just now and asked me to go to the ring, and I will win no matter what!" Chen Xiao raised his hand and scratched his head, "...I can't beat him!"
