"Look, another person went up!"
"Eh, it's that fellow!"
Zhang Xing and the dragons were so special, it was hard not to attract attention.
When the people around saw that it was him, they were all very surprised.
The son-in-law selection didn't stipulate that more than two people were not allowed to go up at once, so the Liu family didn't stop them.
Zhang Xing strolled leisurely and stepped onto the path closest to him.
This instantly caused an uproar among the people around, and also made Yu Zhen and Wei Tian frown.
"Without careful observation, he went up so rashly, is he here to play?"
"Hmph!
Playing to the gallery, one look and I can tell that he's a playboy who hasn't seen the world, really ignorant! "
"Steward He, throw him down, I can't stand people like this who don't have any ability, but I just want to …"
Wei Tian really couldn't stand it anymore, and turned to look at Steward He.
But Steward He, who had always been polite to him, acted as if he didn't hear him, and looked ahead in a daze.
Wei Tian was stunned, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
"Steward He?" He called softly, but Steward He still acted as if he didn't hear him.
"What's going on, could it be that the chess array has been broken?"
Wei Tian was shocked, and hurriedly turned to look.
What he expected didn't happen. Instead, he saw something inconceivable!
"This … How is this possible!
He … How did he go up? "
Wei Tian simply couldn't believe his eyes, just as he turned to speak, Zhang Xing had already walked up to the arena.
The path to the arena wasn't long to begin with, only a short distance of 11 to 12 meters, according to normal walking speed, a cultivator like them could go up in one stride.
But now, these eight paths had been set up with extremely complicated arrays by Miss Liu.
Even if you used divine power that didn't exceed the peak of Tier 5, don't even think about taking half a step into the path.
Using brute force couldn't break the arrays, and could only pass by breaking the arrays.
This was also a test of the Liu family's future son-in-law's comprehensive ability.
After all, with such a grand array for the son-in-law selection, they had to choose the best of the best to not lose face.
At this moment, Wei Tian wasn't the only one who was stunned. Yu Zhen, the Li family, and everyone except Black Treasure and the others were also stunned.
These people looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes were wide open as they looked at Zhang Xing who was waving at Steward He on the stage.
"Steward He, that brat seems to be calling you!"
A moment later, Wei Tian recovered from his shock. He followed Zhang Xing's hand gestures and eyes and guessed Zhang Xing's purpose.
"Oh!"
Steward He answered in a stupefied manner. Then, he asked with uncertainty, "What?"
"Steward He, that brat seems to be calling you!" Weitian repeated.
Steward He approached the ring in a daze. "What's the matter, little brother?"
"I'm already on the stage. Can I go down now?"
Zhang Xing asked.
"Go down?
Why did he go down?
You haven't solved the chess game yet! "Steward He asked in confusion.
"This … My knowledge is shallow, so I won't break the game …"
Zhang Xing cupped his fists and said.
"That won't do. You passed through the outer array so swiftly. Now that you haven't even tried to solve the game, you're not sincere at all!
If Master and Young Mistress know about this, they will be very angry. "
Steward He shook his head quickly and firmly disagreed with Zhang Xing's approach.
Zhang Xing's action would not only make Young Mistress Liu angry, but she would also have the intention to kill Zhang Xing.
This was equivalent to saying that I, Zhang Xing, have the ability, but I won't solve the game. I won't take a liking to you.
Zhang Xing was smart in some matters, but he was indeed careless in this matter.
He forgot that when a woman was publicly looking for a son-in-law, she had to ensure that she looked dignified from the beginning to the end. Not a single flaw was allowed.
Zhang Xing looked at Steward He, whose face was flushed red and who was stuttering while constantly winking at him. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Oh no, I shouldn't have asked such a long-winded question!"
Zhang Xing immediately thought of the key point.
He was a little regretful. He might as well pretend to solve the game and then leave the arena dejectedly.
This way, no one would doubt his sincerity.
If Head Shopkeeper Liu knew about this, let alone having dinner with him, he wouldn't even want to see him, let alone tell him the news of ascending Feng Mountain.
"Steward He, you misunderstood. What I meant was that the two of us can't solve the game at the same time. Can I solve it later?"
"Of course, of course, you can wait at the side!"
Steward He took a deep breath and said with a smile.
He wiped the sweat on his head and thought to himself, "I finally managed to smooth things over. This kid isn't stupid. He immediately understood what I meant."
He was the host of this Selection Ceremony. If he didn't do it well and ruined his reputation, he wouldn't be able to make a living in the Liu Clan.
At the same time, in a pavilion not far away, two women saw the scene in the arena through the window.
"Young Mistress, the man who came later seems to be unwilling to solve the game!"
The person who spoke was Young Mistress Liu's maidservant, Wan 'er.
The conversation between Zhang Xing and Steward He entered their ears without missing a single word.
Young Mistress Liu frowned, anger faintly appearing in her eyes.
When she heard Wan 'er's words, she calmly replied, "He knows his place!"
The speed at which Zhang Xing solved the outer passage array had indeed made her eyes light up.
However, the next few sentences made her have no good impression of Zhang Xing.
The Liu Clan's choice of son-in-law was not a unique custom.
Instead, it was because Head Shopkeeper Liu's bloodline had no descendants.
He only had one daughter, Young Mistress Liu, who had been raised as a boy since she was young.
That was why Head Shopkeeper Liu's ancestor had arranged for him to be separated from the Weapon Controller Sect and given him a Divine Treasure Pavilion, promising him a lifetime of peace and wealth.
However, his daughter was exceptionally talented. She had a special liking for array formations since she was young. Now, she had entered the ranks of array formation masters in her twenties.
Five years ago, Young Mistress Liu was slender and elegant. She had already reached the age of marriage, so many large sects and clans wanted to marry her.
However, Young Mistress Liu was obsessed with array formations all day long. She did not see a single person who came to propose marriage.
Recently, her mother had been persuading her with tears and snot all over her face. She said that a woman would eventually get married, and if she didn't get married, she would die of depression.
Young Mistress Liu had no choice but to agree to her mother's request.
However, she had to choose her son-in-law according to her own method.
Young Mistress Liu followed the custom of a family without a male heir and arranged such a son-in-law selection competition.
The number of sects in the Fifth Heaven who were proficient in array formations was limited. The older generation definitely could not be thick-skinned enough to solve the game.
She had not met anyone in the younger generation who could beat her.
Therefore, Young Mistress Liu was trying to be single. She believed that those so-called prodigies were not the heroes in her heart.
What she wanted was a great hero who was unparalleled in the world, who was the only one in the world.
She hated that she was a girl and was restricted by her family's tradition of favoring males over females. She could not display her talent.
If she were a man, her name would have shaken the world by now and countless beauties would have gone crazy for her!
