Chapter 230 Conflict
"A competition to recruit relatives?"

Hearing Xia Changling's remarks, everyone present was surprised.

Everyone is not very unfamiliar with the thing of martial arts competition and recruiting relatives, and they have all heard or encountered it more or less.

However, in general, martial arts competitions are used by some local rich families or families of wealthy merchants to prepare for the purpose of recruiting an excellent son-in-law and inheriting a good bloodline. Most of them are methods used by families with no background.

After all, these families have short inheritances and need excellent fresh blood to supplement them.

However, the Xia Mansion has been passed down for several generations. It is really unexpected that if you want a good son-in-law, you don't just pick a lot, but also use the method of martial arts to recruit relatives.

Xia Changling smiled faintly and said to the young Jiajie: "You are all outstanding men of my Daqi, it is difficult to tell each other apart, and Wei'er is my precious daughter. Since I want to get married, I naturally have to choose the best one. perfect.

But after all, excellence is something that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so why don’t you all have a try?
Don't worry, there is no need to decide the first place in this competition, only three winners need to be selected, and my daughter will decide the rest. "

As he said that, Xia Changling glanced at He Ning secretly. This method was also thought up by him temporarily, and he couldn't choose one by one with so many people.

And he also knew his daughter's thoughts, but Xia Changling didn't want to just marry Xia Ziwei to He Ning, so he gave He Ning such a chance.

If He Ning could really become the top three in the competition in front of so many heroes in Yanzhou, then it would not be considered humiliating for his daughter to marry him.

While He Ning looked at Xia Changling on the stage, he always felt that the other party had a faint gaze projected over him, as if he was sizing up and peeping at him.

However, He Ning immediately discarded this idea, thinking that he felt wrong, how could the other party, as the lord of a family, notice him.

Next, He Ning began to secretly observe the situation of the people around him. Including He Ning, there were a total of eight people who came to 'seek marriage'.

Most of them have not reached the Xiantian Realm, which is between the peak and the consummation of the Dirt Refining Realm. After all, Xia Ziwei is only fifteen, so these young heroes are not very old, they are all eighteen or nineteen years old.

But this talent is already terrifying enough. You must know that the players in the Yang Town Challenge a few months ago were all about the same age, but the difference in combat power was like a world of difference.

The only one who poses a big threat to He Ning is the young host of the Heimu Building, Heisha and Lie Mane.

It is indeed the level of Yanzhou's top geniuses, who have broken through to the Xiantian realm before the age of 20. As long as this kind of talent does not fall in the future, the Tianfu realm has great prospects.

At this time, everyone in the field heard Xia Changling's words and began to think secretly. If it is a martial arts contest to recruit relatives, I am afraid that few people will be cowardly.

After all, we are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and we have never been afraid of anyone. If you enter the top three, you will have the opportunity to become the son-in-law of Xiafu, who would not want to give it a try.

So everyone raised their hands to Xia Changling, including He Ning, and replied in unison: "We have no problem recruiting a son-in-law through a martial arts contest."

Hearing this, Xia Changling laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's start like this.

But before that, the Palace Master first said a few requirements for the competition.

First point, you are all young heroes from Yanzhou, with noble status. During the competition, you must focus on exchanging ideas, and you must not intentionally cause death or injury. Anyone who violates this rule will be regarded as misbehaving and will be eliminated directly.

The second point is that I have always respected my daughter's choice. Even if someone of you finally made it to the top three but was not selected by my daughter, don't feel resentful. "

Hearing Xia Changling's request, a group of young talents thought for a while, but no one refused.

Although everyone occasionally has some friction with each other, they will not deliberately kill each other on such occasions. As for the second point that Xia Ziwei didn't like, well, except He Ning, everyone has a mysterious feeling about themselves. confidence.

He Ning also felt very good in his heart, what he lacks now is the opportunity to contact Xia Changling, and getting the top three can just attract Xia Changling's attention without being responsible for marrying Xia Ziwei.

As for being picked by Xia Ziwei to be her husband, He Ning never thought about it so narcissistically.

At this time, seeing that everyone agreed, Xia Changling gave Steward Xia a look, and the other party naturally understood what Xia Changling meant.

After coming to the court, Steward Xia cupped his hands at He Ning and the others and said:
"Young masters, since it's a martial arts competition, for the sake of fairness, why don't you all draw lots to determine the opponents, so how about deciding the top three?"

Hearing this, no one refused, and they all nodded.

Seeing this, Housekeeper Xia chuckled and said, "Okay, I've prepared the signs for you gentlemen, please come along with me, and draw lots to decide the opponent."

Next, Steward Xia called two more servants up, each holding a case sign.

Butler Xia went on to say:

"I did the math and found that there are exactly eight people in total, and these are also written with four labels: A, B, C, and D. Then the people with the same labels will play against each other to determine the four winners.

The remaining four will continue to draw lots, but this time there are only two identical signs, the winners will play an extra game, and the remaining two will advance directly, how about it? "

Again, no one objected. Although this method is simple, it is the most fair and direct method, excluding artificial cheating.

"Very well, gentlemen, please!" Steward Xia stepped back, revealing eight signs.

Seeing this, He Ning felt that there was no problem, so he prepared to take one casually.

As soon as He Ning stretched out his hand, he felt a sense of danger approaching, and a sense of alertness suddenly arose in his heart.

The internal force of the body circulated rapidly, and the outstretched right hand quickly retracted, turning into a sharp blade, and swiping towards the dangerous place.

"Oh!"

I saw a big hand firmly clamping He Ning's arm, which immediately made He Ning unable to move.

He Ning looked back, and as expected, it was Jia Huihe.

Jia Liehuan looked at He Ning coldly and said with a sinister smile: "Boy, I said I was just going to draw a sign. Do you believe it?"

He Ning's complexion remained unchanged, and he sneered, "Do you believe me!?" After speaking, the power of the dragon elephant in He Ning's body immediately spewed out towards his right arm.

Jia Xiehe suddenly felt a huge force coming towards him. Unprepared and unprepared, he felt a shock and let go of He Ning's right arm.

Seeing that He Ning got rid of himself so easily, Jia Lie's complexion suddenly became gloomy, unwilling to reconcile, he wanted to do something to He Ning.

"Master Jia, don't break the rules of the game." Steward Xia came over and kindly reminded him.

Jia Liehuan was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He glanced at He Ning coldly and said in a deep voice, "Humph, you'd better pray that your opponent is not me!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored He Ning, took a sign and turned around to leave...
