Hearing Gong Yue's words, Chu Yunge, who was sitting on the chair, looked as if she had heard a general amnesty. She happily opened her eyes wide, grabbed her chopsticks, and poked into the plate of stewed fat duck.

The plump and beautiful duck was stewed in a warm ceramic soup cup for two hours. The meat was soft and exquisite. The sharp chopsticks gently poked into the pot and the duck leg was perfectly separated from the meat.

Chu Yunge sucked in a mouthful of saliva, unceremoniously picked up the duck leg and was about to stuff it into her mouth.

Xiao Wei, who was sitting beside her, saw her expression and couldn't help but raise her right hand, using her wide sleeves to cover her red lips as she laughed helplessly. "Yun Ge, looks like you haven't changed in the past few days. You're still the same as before, unchanging.

"Aiya, didn't the City Lord already open his mouth wide, saying that we can eat now? "I've been enduring for a long time, my stomach is growling from hunger." As Chu Yunge said this, she started drooling from the corner of his mouth.

The smile on Xiao Wei's face grew even wider. She took out the brocade handkerchief she brought along with him and placed it around the corner of Chu Yunge's mouth as she gently wiped her mouth, "Seeing how you're eating, people who don't know you think you've been hungry for a few days and haven't eaten meat before."

"Whatever you say, the people eat like the sky, filling their stomachs is the most important thing." No matter what else, it was more important to not eat or drink.

After Chu Yunge casually replied, she grabbed the chopsticks and was about to put the fat and beautiful duck leg into her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Wei couldn't help but frown and shake her head. Chu Yan, who was sitting beside Xiao Wei, couldn't do anything to his little sister.

"Whatever, let her be." Chu Yan looked at Chu Yunge eating the duck leg and knew that she would never be able to learn the palace's proper etiquette in her life. As if she was joking, she told Xiao Wei, "Since she was young, she has always been like this. When we were young, we thought that she was very innocent and cute like this. But now that we've grown up, we can see that she has completely become a wild and unruly girl. "

"He's really making things difficult for the Feng Lai Kingdom's crown prince. Yun Ge's personality is so carefree, but he's actually able to defend it. His feelings are really deep." Xiao Wei started to joke along with Chu Yunge and asked softly from the side, "Since the two of you are so close now, I wonder when Yun Ge will marry the elegant crown prince? If you have such a plan, then quickly choose a lucky day for all of you to meet the people of the Venerate Heavens Sect. "

"I-I won't tell you these things, I'll eat my duck leg first." Hearing that Xiao Wei and her brother were ridiculing him like this, how could Chu Yunge, who was an upright beauty, care about the two of them? She chewed the duck meat in her mouth and mumbled some words. Then, she no longer bothered with Xiao Wei and directly picked up the Glazed Glass Silk Wine that was on the table and drank a mouthful of the somewhat sweet and clear apricot flower wine.

Feng Yi kept sneaking glances at Chu Yunge's direction, but when he saw Chu Yunge gulping down her food and drink, he could not help but smile bitterly.

Qian Qian covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Brother, sister-in-law really has the talent to be a lush green man!"

Feng Yi laughed awkwardly: "That's still considered light, you have never even seen her flying before, she's even more of a bandit than a bandit!"

"Is that so? When I have time, I will definitely see it for myself. How about I come with you guys after the Martial Arts Competition is over? Staying at home all day is suffocating me! " Qian Qian pouted and started to complain.

When Feng Yi heard this, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth. There was already a Demon Lord by his side, what if there was another Demon Lord?

"Uh — why don't you just follow Remo and be a good general's wife. We can't even sleep and eat all day long in the martial arts world. Just by looking at your sister-in-law's way of eating, you can tell how bitter we usually eat. Sometimes, we can't even eat!" Feng Yi quickly exaggerated to scare Qian Qian, wanting her to quickly give up this idea.

"Well — then I'd better go home." As expected, after Qian Qian heard that he could not even eat anything, she gave up on the idea of wandering together with them in Jianghu.

Lei Mo secretly gave Feng Yi a big thumbs up and a grateful smile.

The meal finally came to an end after four hours.

After the servants had removed the dishes, a servant immediately offered tea.

"When I was travelling overseas, I picked this tea on a small island. Afterwards, I searched everywhere in the continent and didn't find this tea. It can be said to be the best tea in the world. Please have some." Gong Yue stood up and explained the origin of the tea to the others.

Chu Yunge imitated everyone's actions and picked up her teacup, and took a light sniff, releasing a burst of elegant fragrance.

"It really is a good tea!" Even Chu Yunge who was usually ignorant of the Way of Tea could not help but praise it.

"Now, I would like to ask the various sects and schools to start discussing who should be chosen to be the Martial Union Chief." Gong Yue finally revealed the true purpose of this tea ceremony.

Just as Gong Yue finished speaking, the hall was in an uproar.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, someone stood up and nominated himself.

"In my opinion, the Moon Pavilion has spread its influence throughout the martial arts world in the past few years. Moreover, they have acted in a righteous manner and helped save lives by doing many great things. I think it would be better to let the Moon Pavilion Lord sit under Alliance Master Wu Lin."

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build.

Immediately, many people began to agree.

"The power of Worryfree Hall is also very wide, I think they can become Alliance Masters Wu Lin!"

Someone stood up and suggested, but immediately someone opposed it, "Worryfree Hall acts as righteous and evil, so how can we let them take such an important position?"

"Then we might as well let the people from the Spirit Palace do it. They are finally able to become chivalrous warriors, right?"

"I think it's just appropriate for the Moon Pavilion!"

"Worryfree Hall!"

"The Spiritual Palace!"

"…"

The crowd could not help but clamor.

"Everyone, quiet down. Listen to what I have to say!" Gong Yue's voice covered all of the arguments, and the hall once again quietened down.

"Since everyone has a suitable candidate in their hearts, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to select a few candidates and have them compete with each other. The victor should be the leader of the Martial Alliance, right?"

"Not much!" A clear voice resounded in the hall.

Feng Yi's head slammed into the table. It was Chu Yunge again!

Chu Yunge looked at the effects she had created with satisfaction, cleared her throat and said: "City Lord Gong, you mean to let the contestants compete, right?"

Gong Yue nodded his head, "Yes, after all, I have to become Alliance Head Wu Lin.

"Then I would like to ask, how many saints from the ancient texts know martial arts?"

"Not really."

"Then, let me ask you one more time. How many Emperors have the best martial arts in the world?"

"I don't think so either."

"Isn't that fine? "Martial arts can only mean a person's talent and diligence. It does not represent one's abilities or character. What does the Mayor think of what I have said?"

"That makes sense, but we are martial artists after all. Martial arts are bad …" Before Gong Yue could finish, he was interrupted by Chu Yunge.

Mayor Gong, let me ask you this. The swords and ploughs are made of iron, but the swords and sabers are used to kill people, while the ploughs are used to grow crops and keep people alive. They are all made of iron, can you say that the usage of sabers and swords are greater than that of ploughs?

"Er — no." Gong Yue had been robbed by Chu Yunge, but he was not the least bit displeased. Instead, he smiled in relief.

"Then, according to the princess' wishes?"

"I think we should do this. Everyone should select the candidates and then let the candidates make their own play to make a plan for everyone, what they should do after becoming the Alliance Master that will benefit the world, and at the same time establish a body to supervise the Alliance Master. If the Alliance Master does not fulfill his promise, then the body should step in to depose the Alliance Master and create a new person. What do you think? "

Chu Yunge then explained the slight changes to the modern democracy.

"I think that's fine, we can't let the chief cover the sky with one hand."

"I think it's possible …"

"…"

This time, everyone's opinion was surprisingly united. There were basically no objections.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, then let's do as the Imperial Protector Princess says, and first nominate the few candidates." Gong Yue finalized the plan.

Following that, everyone started a flurry of discussion. Finally, after an hour, a few candidates were selected.

The one who was ranked first was the Moon Pavilion Master Feng Yi. He was ranked second in the Spirit Palace, third in the Worryfree Hall, and Chu Yunge was actually ranked fourth as well.

Seeing this result, Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting beside Gong Yue, stood up and spoke with his red lips slightly parted: "The Spirit Palace has no intention of participating in the alliance master's competition. Zhiqiu will represent the palace master here and renounce the qualifications."

With that, he sat down and did not speak any further.

Naturally, there were only three candidates left, the Moon Embracing Pavilion, Worryfree Hall and Chu Yunge.

Chu Yunge secretly cursed, "What the hell! This is simply a replica of the Murong Dynasty, what's the point in comparing these few people? "

Ye Zhiqiu had just finished speaking when Feng Yi stood up and said loudly: "Feng Yi knows that he is lacking in talent, plus in the future, he will definitely work hard for the country, so he might not have the time to take care of matters in the martial arts world, so Feng Yi has chosen to give up this competition, and is grateful for everyone's love."

Everyone could understand why the Spirit Palace would withdraw from the competition. After all, they had been hiding in the world for so many years, and they were not far from becoming involved in the martial arts world's affairs. But Feng Yi's withdrawal was a big shock to everyone. The Moon Pavilion was a powerful faction in the martial world. These people could not understand why they had given up on participating in the selection.

Gong Yue gave Feng Yi a profound look, and said with a smile: "Then things will be easier. There are only two candidates left, I wonder if the two of you have anything to say about this?"

Chu Yunge glared fiercely at Feng Yi. She didn't expect Feng Yi to do this either. But now he couldn't just withdraw himself, wouldn't that mean that he made Worryfree Hall the chief of the alliance? That was impossible.
