Chapter 2129: Commission (Please Subscribe)_1

Soon, the Spirit Pagoda posted a notice announcing that a martial arts competition for marriage proposal would be held in three weeks, open to Soul Masters under the age of twenty-five!

The winner would receive an Immortal Herb as well as preferential access to the resources of the Spirit Pagoda!

Federation!

Upon learning of this news, one of the high-ranking officials frowned and said, "What? The Spirit Pagoda is going to hold a martial arts competition for marriage proposal in three weeks? What on earth is Leng Yaozhu up to?"

Another high-ranking official pondered, with a hand supporting their chin, "I remember that the martial arts competition for marriage proposal has always been a tradition of the Spirit Pagoda. However, it hasn't been held since Qiangu Qingfeng's demise!"

"Humph, if they want to hold it, let them hold it. Gu Yue is said to be the next appointed Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. Leng Yaozhu probably wants to find a reliable partner for her before stepping down to solidify the Spirit Pagoda's status!"

That said, this martial arts competition for marriage proposal didn't restrict participants based on their affiliations, which means our Federation's younger generation can also take part! If things go well, it could also help us strengthen our ties with the Spirit Pagoda!"

The man leading the group nodded in agreement after listening to their discussion, "Hmm, this suggestion is indeed good. Let's call upon the young elites of the Federation to actively participate in the martial arts competition for marriage proposal. Whoever comes out on top can also enjoy the preferential resources of the Federation!"

As long as Shrek Academy does not participate, the chances of the Federation winning are very high!

The high-ranking officials looked at each other and could see the thoughts in each other's eyes...

...

Sea God's Pavilion!

All the Elders also received news of the Spirit Pagoda's martial arts competition for marriage proposal!

Cai Yue'er remarked with emotion, "After so many years, the Spirit Pagoda is once again holding a martial arts competition for marriage proposal, and this time, it's specifically for Gu Yue!"

Feng Wu Yu spoke solemnly, "Just from this matter alone, we cannot see Leng Yaozhu's purpose, but isn't Gu Yue the next appointed Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda? To select a partner for her in this manner!"

Tang Yinmeng hesitated, "Could it be... Gu Yue is being forced?"

Ya Li's beautiful eyes flickered, and she shook her head in denial, "No... Gu Yue must have agreed to this herself. Leng Yaozhu is not the type to force or entice others!"

She understood this past rival quite well!

Turbid World pursed her lips, "This... is somewhat unbelievable. Although it has not been openly acknowledged, it's assumed that Gu Yue and Tang Wulin have long been a couple. By agreeing to this martial arts competition for marriage proposal now, isn't that betraying the latter?"

Long Yeyue, who had been silent, looked toward Xu Sheng, "Elder Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Sheng smiled lightly, her expression unchanged, "I was just thinking, is there a possibility that Gu Yue wants to use the martial arts competition for marriage proposal as an opportunity to confirm her relationship with Tang Wulin?"

Long Yeyue took a deep breath, "But... Tang Wulin is currently at Tang Sect undergoing an assessment, and we don't know how long it will take."

"If he doesn't complete the assessment and return within three weeks, Gu Yue might be forced to become partners with the winner of the martial arts competition for marriage proposal!"

Wu Changkong, with a stern face, confidently said, "What the teacher has said makes sense. However, in my opinion, it's very likely that Tang Wulin will learn of this matter from Tang Sect and, given his character, he would participate even if it meant giving up the Tang Sect assessment."

If it were him, he would do the same!

Cai Yue'er thoughtfully said, "Moreover, there's bound to be no shortage of Soul Masters participating in this event, and winning will certainly not be easy. How about also having the Shrek Seven Monsters participate?"

"At least, if Tang Wulin loses, we can still place our hopes on someone else!"

This suggestion immediately won the agreement of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion...

Long Yeyue glanced at Wu Changkong and said, "Changkong, please bring over the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters."

Wu Changkong immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Yes, Elder Long."

Then, he turned and left...

Before long, he returned, leading Xie Xie and others to the Sea God's Pavilion.

Everyone glanced around and said in unison, "Greetings, elders!"

All the elders nodded in response. Long Yeyue then turned her gaze to Xie Xie and the others and said, "We've called you here because there's something we need to tell you!"

Yue Zhengyu's expression gradually became solemn. "Please speak, Elder Long!"

Long Yeyue continued, "After unanimous agreement by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, it has been decided that you will participate in the matrimonial contest hosted by the Spirit Pagoda in three weeks' time!"

At that moment, everyone showed a look of bewilderment, "A... matrimonial contest??"

Long Yeyue gave a slight smile, "Indeed, a matrimonial contest."

Xie Xie scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? Elder Long, we all have someone we like already!"

Long Yeyue saw through their thoughts with a single glance and said indifferently, "I know what you're worried about, but this matrimonial contest is organized by the Spirit Pagoda for Gu Yue's sake!"

"Given that Tang Wulin is currently undergoing an assessment at the Tang Sect and might not be able to participate, there may come a time when you need to take his place and secure the final victory!"

Yue Zhengyu then breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, the elders want us to participate in the matrimonial contest to prevent Gu Yue from pairing up with someone else if Wulin can't make it in time!"

A spark lit up in Xie Xie's eyes and he chuckled, "Heh, so to put it simply, we won't let an outsider take what's ours?"

Suddenly, there was a tremendous pain in his waist...

"Hiss... Ouch, ouch, ouch, Ye Hui, don't hit me, I was just joking!"

Yuanen Yehui then let out a cold "Hmph..."

Long Yeyue pressed on, "Alright, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, what's your decision?"

Yue Zhengyu gave a thumbs up, proudly saying, "Of course, there's no problem. With Xie Xie and me participating, we will definitely crush all the other contenders!"

Xie Xie echoed, "That's right, the wife of our brother will be guarded by the two of us!"

...

Xingluo Empire!

Dai Yueyan looked at the exceptionally burly Long Yue before him with a complex expression and frowned, "Long Yue, do you really plan to participate in this matrimonial contest?"

Long Yue nodded seriously, "Indeed! I have seen that Gu Yue before; she's incomparably beautiful! To become her partner would truly be a marvelous tale!"

Dai Yueyan couldn't help but cover his forehead and mumble, "I feel... you just want to compete with that Tang Wulin, don't you?"

He was aware that Gu Yue's partner was Tang Wulin, who would certainly participate in this matrimonial contest!

Long Yue's eyes widened in shock, "Your Majesty, how did you know?"

He thought he had managed to keep his emotions off his face!

Dai Yueyan said with disdain, "Who could you possibly fool with those little schemes of yours? Don't forget, we were once teammates at Monster Academy!"

Long Yue gave an awkward smile, "Heh heh... since you found out, Your Majesty, then I'll drop the act!"

Dai Yueyan sighed, "If you want to go, then go, and while you're there, check on how Yun'er is doing for me! I... am very worried about her!"

Long Yue clenched his fist tightly, "Understood, Yun'er is Your Majesty's sister and my sister as well. If anyone dares to bully her, I will tear them apart!"
