Chapter 76 - Groom/Groom Competition
In order to help Qing Yao find Wen Le earlier, Yun Qin did what she said and called Yu Er to sit on the carriage to the Silk Cloth Pavilion.
After arriving at Silk Cloth Pavilion, Yun Qin found a few guards to help her arrange the stage. In order to give her some free land, Gu Qingmeng decided to keep the Purity Pavilion closed for a day.
Yun Qin was in charge of supervising and inspecting them. Not long after, Yu Er bought the red silk cloth from the store.
Gu Qingmeng came out of the shop, seeing that everyone was busy with work, he asked the subordinate of the Purity Pavilion to bring out a few plates of fruits.
"Taste it, I just got it." Gu Qingmeng gave the two lychee fruits in his hands to Yun Qin, who received them and peeled off one of them to taste.
"So sweet." Yun Qin squinted her eyes and spat out the core. She didn't expect to eat such fresh fruit in ancient times. She sighed and popped the remaining one into her mouth.
After spending an entire morning to set up the stage, Yun Qin knocked on the stage with the copper gong in hand and shouted out: "All unmarried young men, in three days, there will be a Groom Search Competition. Everyone's age is from 22 to 28, anyone who does not have a wife can try..."
Hearing Yun Qin's shout, Qing Yao's face immediately turned slightly hot. Although she knew it was fake, she still felt a bit embarrassed.
After Yun Qin finished shouting, Qing Yao walked over and asked worriedly: "What if he doesn't come? I'm not really going to marry anyone else, am I? "
"Don't worry." Yun Qin patted her hands, she had not expected this, at that time she would go ask Ye Han for martial arts experts, and easily win against normal people. If Wen Le came, she would let him lose to her, and if he doesn't, she would pretend that nothing happened.
After telling Qing Yao her own thoughts, Qing Yao felt a little more at ease.
Yun Qin used a few methods to spread the news of the Groom Search Competition.
Three days later, the Groom Search Competition was held as scheduled, and the people who came to watch the show surrounded the ring so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
Everything happened so quickly, that it was too late to tailor a wedding dress for Qing Yao, so Yun Qin gave her the phoenix coronet and ceremony for her. It was probably because the two of them had similar figures, that Qing Yao dressed well.
At that time, Qing Yao was wearing her wedding dress and sitting on the top. She unconsciously clenched her hands, because she was nervous, she felt that she was very, very hot.
From time to time, he would chat with Yu Er who was beside him. Yun Qin would take charge of the overall situation: "Everyone draw lots first, we will decide based on order. Whoever wins will be able to marry our bride."
After drawing lots, someone quickly came up to compete.
One of them was around eight feet tall, and his hair was tied up with a hairpin. The other was as short as Wu Dalang, and his eyes were filled with determination.
"Come!" The man named Wu Daliang was the first to speak. Another man clasped his fist and said, "Lost …" Missing... "Please excuse me!"
It was a stutter.
Yun Qin watched the battle and saw that the short man had a full body of skill, while the tall man had a bit of brute force.
As expected, the tall man won in the end. After all, he was not tall and white. Even if he had the strength, he could still overtake him with one hand.
Yun Qin watched with boredom until she finally saw a few dozen people. As she was dozing off, she saw a man flying up, with a big beard, looking like a hero in the martial arts world, she said with a calm and confident voice: "Let me try."
Yun Qin could tell that the other party's Qing Gong was impressive with one look, those who were proficient in Qing Gong were usually the practitioners, and in a short while, he had killed more than 10 people.
After standing on the stage for a while, he asked the people below, "Who else would like to try? I, Hu Tianfeng, will accompany you to the end! "If not, then I will marry them back home."
Seeing that Wen Le was not coming anymore, Yun Qin gave a look to the people below, who were already prepared, and the guards immediately flew up, and said: "Let me!"
In a confrontation between two experts, the opponent did not move at all. The wind blew, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Seeing that the big bearded man was so capable, Yun Qin could not help but secretly sweat. He did not know whether the person Ye Han was looking for was reliable or not.
Qing Yao sat on the top as if she was on pins and needles: "Why isn't Wen Le here yet!" She was so anxious that she wanted to get up, but Yu Er stopped her and sat her down, telling her to wait a little longer.
After fighting for about twenty rounds, Big Beard was knocked to the ground. He wanted to stand up and fight back, but he had no chance of doing so, and was completely suppressed by the man. As a sensible man, he admitted defeat immediately after knowing that he had met an expert. May I ask who your teacher is? "
"No teacher, no sect." Yi De replied, he bowed and asked Yun Qin: "I wonder, do I have a chance to marry Miss Qing Yao?"
"Naturally, warrior!" Yun Qin acted naturally, and said to him, "Please come up and take off the red veil on this lady."
The man walked forward, until he was in front of Qing Yao, then used a voice only the two of them could hear. "Young lady, sorry for offending you," he raised his hand and lifted his head.
Qing Yao's eyes reddened, and she forcefully smiled as she handed her hand over. She silently cursed in her heart: This damned Wen Le! A man as timid as a mouse!
After getting off the stage, Yun Qin said to her: "It doesn't matter, there's still a bridal room tonight. We'll take a gamble, will he come tonight?"
Qing Yao lowered her eyes. The more she tried to probe, the more uncertain she felt in her heart.
She pulled on Yun Qin's sleeves and whispered: "Qin Qin Qin, I'm so scared, he won't come."
Yun Qin rubbed her head, it was her first time seeing the ruthless Qing Yao with such a small side to her.
"If he doesn't come, then I'll dig three feet into the ground to help you find him and see where he can hide." Yun Qin said, her eyes bright and serious.
Qing Yao was moved, she pulled her hand and shook it: "Qin Qin, thank you."
"Stupid." Yun Qin didn't like people who were close to him saying polite words to him, so he didn't say anymore to her and headed back to the Prince Mansion to set up the marriage room.
Even though it was an act, it had to be done well.
Prince Mansion returned to where Qing Yao lived. Yun Qin had people dress the garden up as a joyous occasion.
As night fell, Qing Yao's heart also darkened along with the night.
As the bridegroom prepared to enter the bridal room, Yun Qin sighed in her heart. Seems like she could only help Qing Yao find Wen Le.
Unbeknownst to them, there was a person hiding on the eaves of the house. That person had been squatting outside for quite a while.
When he heard that Yun Qin wanted to enter the bridal room, the door that Qing Yao was staying at was kicked open from the outside. Qing Yao was overjoyed, and pulled down the cover, only to see Wen Le angrily walking in, and grabbing her hand: "You cannot marry him, you are already my man, I, am responsible for you."
"Who are you?" Qing Yao asked while holding back her joy.
"You …" Wen Le looked around, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, he realised he was being toyed with, and jumped, "You!"
