"Young master, there are … there are too many people here. Let's head back …" The crescent moon looked timid as it stared at the heads of Bai Zhiling.

"It's not lively if there aren't many people."

"Clang clang clang" The sound of the gong rang out. Bai Zhiling saw a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe walk onto the stage.

"Everyone, my daughter is competing in this arena today. I don't care where the heroes come from, as long as I can fight to the end, I will be Xiong's son-in-law."

As Xiong Mingtian finished speaking, someone jumped onto the stage and started competing.

In a private room on the second floor of the De Tian Tower, a girl wearing a jade-green cigarette dress sat by the window. She was looking at the people on the stage with a frown on her long and slender eyebrows.

"Daddy, what are you thinking about? You actually want me to compete in the Groom Search Competition? Let me see who these people are!" The woman turned her head, staring at Xiong Mingtian who walked in with an aggrieved look on her face. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and even though she was angry, her glare made people feel that she was adorable.

Xiong Mingtian had spent most of his time in the business world. He had a pair of small but astute eyes. He looked at his only daughter and sighed helplessly.

"Xiaoxiao, stop messing around. Father knows what you are thinking about in your heart. Father will tell you that you should give up on those thoughts as soon as possible. That person is not someone you can keep in mind."

When Xiong Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyes instantly turned red and he started sobbing.

"Then our daughter can't be married off so easily …"

"Don't worry, why would dad casually marry you to someone who doesn't know everything? This is only …" "Don't worry."

"Look, Young Master, that person's kung fu is so amazing. He hasn't lost since the start of the battle."

Bai Zhiling followed the gaze of the full moon and saw a teenager in coarse clothes fighting on the stage. He looked to be about 15 or 16 years old, and before the teenager could reach out to challenge him, he was kicked away.

The competition only lasted two hours, and the winner was the one who could stand to the very end.

"I've long heard that the manager's daughter is a beauty, so how could she let this brat who doesn't have any hair on him get away with it?"

Bai Zhiling only heard a hearty voice, and when she turned to look, all she saw was a tall figure flying into the arena.

"Kid, let your big brother come meet you."

The man and the youth in the arena quickly started fighting.

The young man's martial arts were fast, ruthless, and accurate. Each of his moves carried a sense of ruthlessness, while the young man's moves were much gentler. However, the young man wasn't able to take advantage of him.

The battle between the two similarly attracted the attention of the father and daughter upstairs.

Xiong Mingtian's expression suddenly changed when he saw the man.

"Quick, he's appeared. Get ready to leave!"

The youngster's martial arts were lacking compared to the man's. In addition, they had fought for quite a while. However, after two hundred moves, he was defeated.

"Clang!"

When the time came, the man won the final victory.

"Tsk, what a pity."

"Young master, what's a pity? It's obvious that young master's kung fu is better."

Bai Zhiling shook her head without saying anything.

"The fun is over. Let's go."

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Xiong Mingtian brought over twenty men to the arena to 'invite' the man into Xiong Mansion.

The man raised an eyebrow, looking at the fiendish fighters behind Xiong Mingtian with an evil smile.

"Father-in-law, are you planning to carry your son-in-law back?"

"" Xiong Mingtian smirked. "It's better to choose a day than a day. Come back to the manor with me and Xiaoxiao can get married today."

The man suddenly chuckled and quickly flew into the crowd before Xiong Mingtian could regain his senses.

"I really have no fate with Miss Xiong. Manager Xiong, you should choose someone else."

"" Xiong Mingtian looked anxious. Quick, get the people back! "

Bai Zhiling was about to get on the carriage when she was hit.

When he turned around, he saw a handsome face smiling brightly.

"Young master, you look really handsome." Before he finished his sentence, his back disappeared into the crowd.

"Gongzi, are you alright?" The full moon stepped forward anxiously.

Bai Zhiling recognized him as the person who had just won the arena competition and shook her head. "No problem, let's go."

The Jiang family's wedding courtyard was located in an alley called Yuanshan. The location was somewhat remote, but the environment was very quiet and serene. However, its courtyard took up nearly half of the alley.

"Big brother, it's not good. Mother was taken away by those people. Hurry and save mother …"

Just as Bai Zhiling was about to enter, she saw two silhouettes walking out from the deepest part of the alley. When she saw the backs of the silhouettes facing her, her pupils flickered.

"What did you say?" His mother was taken away? "Where is he? I'll go and save him now …"

"Right here …"

"Young master, let's go in." When the door opened, Bai Zhiling retracted her train of thoughts and walked into the yard.

"Greetings, consort."

There were only a couple of old men in their fifties who were on guard in the courtyard. The full moon revealed their identities, so the couple stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need to be so courteous, I should be the one thanking you." Bai Zhiling stepped forward to help them up.

The couple brought Bai Zhiling to the house where Jiang's dowry was kept and left.

Bai Zhiling looked around and found that there was a box of items placed at the bottom. She stretched out her hand to open the box. Inside the box were books that looked old but were well-preserved.

She randomly flipped through the book. She didn't expect it to be a medical book!

Looking at the description, it was probably the only medical record in the world!

F * ck!

He had earned so much that he didn't even have a chance!

Bai Zhiling kept the medical books as if they were treasures.

Just as she stood up, something fell out of her body with a clang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a bronze ring. The ring looked like it had been worn for a long time.

"What is this thing …"

She was sure she didn't have it. Someone had put it on her.

The electricity in his heart suddenly thought of that bright and open smiling face. Could it be him, the man who won the fight against the youth in the end?

This thing would definitely bring him trouble, but he couldn't just throw it away like that.

She opened the window to take a look and immediately dug a hole under a peach tree in the yard. After burying the hole, she tossed the matter to the back of her mind.

The dowry of the Jiang family was something that would be used by the ladies of a rich family. In other words, it wasn't practical for Bai Zhiling and wouldn't be of much use for her to start a business. It seemed like she had to rely on herself.

"Doctor, I beg of you, please save my mother, I beg of you …"

"Sigh, I can't do anything about it. She's already out of the question. You should hurry up and prepare for the future."

When they walked out of the courtyard, Bai Zhiling didn't expect to meet that young man again. He seemed to be living in a room at the back of the alley.

Bai Zhiling saw a doctor carrying a medicine kit walking hastily in front of her. She paused for a moment before walking in the direction of the young man …
