Everyone's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the tournament area, the other family patriarchs who were invited were also staring in wonder at the two female figures walking in, since Zhu Yuhe almost never attended events like family tournaments.
Zhu Yuhe herself came with Zhou Xuan as usual, despite her busy schedule with the takeover of the Vermillion Empire, but she still made time to watch the tournament because Xia Tian was her man after all.
Xia Luo panicked at Zhu Yuhe's sudden arrival, as he had not prepared a place for her. He hurriedly greeted Zhu Yuhe. "Queen... Queen Yuhe, forgive me for not preparing a place for you, because I really didn't expect that you would attend the tournament this time."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Yuhe replied coldly, as she walked towards the Xia Manor Family seat. "I will sit with General Ling and the others."
'Fuck! She values Xia Ling more than us, the Main Xia Family.' Xia Luo cursed in her heart.
The other family patriarchs only smiled faintly at Zhu Yuhe ignoring Xia Luo, especially those who were loyal to Zhu Yuhe, and helped her during the war against Hong Chen.
"Oh, Tian still hasn't come?" Zhu Yuhe asked Xia Ling and the others as she sat beside Xia Ling in Liu Ying's seat earlier.
Even though Zhu Yuhe was Xia Tian's woman, but the public still didn't know about their relationship, so Liu Ying still acted like her subordinate, and gave her seat for her.
"We also don't know where he went, Queen Yuhe. Since last night, he left with Ning'er, and they haven't returned until now." Hearing Xia Ling's answer then Zhu Yuhe turned to Liu Ying who nodded at her.
Zhu Yuhe sighed softly, then said. "Don't worry, General Ling. I'm sure that Tian will definitely come soon."
But Zhu Yuhe and Liu Ying were not aware that their eye contact did not go unnoticed by Leng Youxin, she was increasingly convinced that there was something between Xia Tian, Xia Ning, and the rest of their family. And Leng Youxin thought to herself. 'Looks like I'll have to ask them all later.'
*Gong!*
And not long after the sound of the gong sounded loudly, Xia Luo then stood up from her seat, and said loudly. "I would like to thank everyone present here, because you guys have taken the time to watch the competition between the younger generations of the entire Xia Family today. Whoever wins this competition will be fully supported by the Xia Main Family, and we will also provide cultivation resources for the victor."
After Xia Luo said his greeting, he then mentioned all the rules and the competition immediately started. The participants can take the initiative to challenge anyone who is still in the arena, and the winner is the one who can't find another opponent.
"Xia Luo is really cunning, he thought that Xia Sheng would definitely win the competition with such rules." Zhu Yuhe shook her head as she made a comment. "But unfortunately, he doesn't know about the dark horse."
Liu Ying chuckled at Zhu Yuhe's comment. "Looks like the Xia Main Family is unlucky today, I'm sure that Tian will be able to beat Xia Sheng easily."
"With only 5th Stage Core Formation Realm, it is impossible for Xia Sheng to defeat Tian." Although Zhou Xuan didn't know for sure Xia Tian's current cultivation level, she was certain that his cultivation was already above Xia Sheng's. (A/N: If you guys were confused by this, it's because Alice has been covering up Xia Tian's cultivation all the time, even his women and family don't know about his true cultivation level.)
The match started between two women, the short brown haired woman continued to attack the long black haired woman until she was pushed to the end of the arena, and after that she kicked the long black haired woman in the stomach until she was thrown out of the arena.
"Hmm, that girl is really strong, and she's beautiful too." Xia Sheng said as he looked lustfully at the short brown haired girl.
Xia Luo then scolded him harshly. "You only think about women! Look at yourself, compared to your little sister then your cultivation is nothing."
Xia Wu giggled behind her father and brother, because she herself did not like the character of her big brother who always looked at women lustfully, besides that he was also too arrogant.
"Humph! Why do you always compare me to Xia Wu, Dad? I've also worked hard to keep improving my cultivation!" Xia Sheng grumbled that his father always compared him to his little sister.
"Or should I compare you to that Xia Tian?" Xia Luo resentfully mocked Xia Sheng.
"Tch, he's just a useless guy, I'll definitely beat him easily if he dares to enter this competition." Xia Sheng arrogantly replied to Xia Luo's question, although they knew that Xia Tian was no longer a cripple, but until now they still didn't know Xia Tian's true strength.
Xia Luo's face darkened at his son's arrogant words, he chose to ignore him, and went back to watching the competition. And now the third match, a muscular young man against the previous short brown haired woman who had already won twice in a row.
"You should just give up, Sister. Because I don't want to hurt you." The muscular young man said.
But the short brown haired woman shook her head, and said softly. "No problem, Brother. We'll see later who will win and lose between us."
She immediately attacked the muscular young man, but he easily stopped her kick. He then caught her ankle, and threw her to the other side of the arena.
After that, the muscular young man immediately ran towards the short brown haired woman, then he used his strength to push her out of the arena. However, she nimbly managed to dodge his attack, and she attacked him again.
However, after they fought for quite a while, their fight reached a stalemate. Because neither of them managed to force the other out of the arena, and they both decided to use their strongest technique.
"Please be careful, Sister." The muscular young man had gathered all his energy right in his hands.
The short brown haired woman didn't want to lose to him, and she gathered her energy instantly. "En, you too."
The two then moved simultaneously facing each other, but just as their energies were about to clash, suddenly a black-haired middle-aged woman appeared in their midst, and grabbed their hands to stop the two of them.
"You two can stop fighting." The black-haired middle-aged woman spoke calmly, and helped them stabilize their energy. "You two have great talent, it would be a shame if you two were seriously injured in this small competition."
