Chapter 70

In the crowd, a path spontaneously opened up, or perhaps it was a gentle but powerful true qi that softly pushed them aside. A young man in a green robe slowly walked over, none other than the tardy Su Yi.

As he walked, Su Yi smiled bitterly to himself. He hadn't really planned to step in, but he couldn't just let a girl as good as Mu Nianci fall into Ouyang Ke's hands! He had no choice but to step up and intervene.

Walking slowly to the middle between Ouyang Ke and Mu Nianci, Su Yi smiled at Ouyang Ke and said, "The young lady has worked hard to win this tournament, all she seeks is a soulmate who understands her. Brother Ouyang, you have so many beautiful concubines that they could form an army. Why make things difficult for this young lady? It would be a loss of your gentlemanly demeanor!"

After speaking, he slowly looked around. He saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing in front, looking honest and simple. He thought to himself that this must be Guo Jing.

He won!

After a careful comparison... Su Yi found that his appearance was still superior, and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased!

Facing the brave Su Yi, Ouyang Ke felt a mix of emotions... He stared at Su Yi, unsure of what to think. His feelings towards this person were quite complex...

Ouyang Ke was born into a noble family, and Ouyang Feng doted on him immensely. In the Western Regions, he was a true king without a crown, and he was very proud of himself! Unfortunately, after coming to the Central Plains, he met Su Yi!

In terms of status, Su Yi was a prince of a great nation, far above him. Moreover, Wanyan Honglie was extremely favored by the emperor and might inherit the throne in the future. At that time, Su Yi would be a crown prince, and even with Ouyang Feng's martial arts, it would be difficult to oppose a nation. Therefore, Ouyang Ke felt somewhat inferior when facing Su Yi.

Thus, when he first met Su Yi, he took the initiative to be friendly. He thought that the two of them would surely become close friends in the future. Unfortunately, Su Yi knew he wasn't a good person and ignored him, merely greeting him briefly when they met...

His first attempt to extend the olive branch of friendship was ignored, which hurt Ouyang Ke's little ego quite a bit. Although he was angry, he was helpless and decided to ignore Su Yi like the other experts.

Who would have thought that this guy would come to ruin his good thing at such a time!

Forget it, let's take a step back!

Looking at Mu Nianci's beautiful face, Ouyang Ke swallowed hard, pretending to be magnanimous, "Since Brother Wanyan has his eye on this young lady, I naturally shouldn't interfere. Fine, I won't participate in this tournament today. Let her go to you, it will surely be a beautiful story in the future!"

"Thank you, Brother Ouyang," Su Yi said with a smile, then turned to carefully observe Yang Tiexin. Seeing his worried expression, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He then smiled helplessly, realizing that his deep empathy for Yang Kang and his mother-son bond with Bao Xiruo made it hard for him to remain impartial.

Smiling slightly, Su Yi said, "Old sir, aren't you planning to pack up? Why haven't you left yet?"

"Oh... oh, thank you, sir, for your help!" Yang Tiexin, as if waking from a dream, gratefully bowed and was about to pull down the banner for the martial arts tournament!

"Wait!" Ouyang Ke's eyes turned cold, and he said unhappily, "Aren't you going to take this beauty home with you, Brother Wanyan?"

Su Yi smiled shyly and said, "Brother Ouyang knows my family situation. My mother is very strict, I dare not do such a thing of taking a virtuous young lady!"

If you don't dare, I do! What are you doing here blocking me?

"Then, Brother Wanyan, step aside. If you're not participating, I will!"

Su Yi immediately said unhappily, "Brother Ouyang, it's not right to go back on your word. You already said you wouldn't participate, why are you changing your mind now?"

"I thought you were going to participate, so I let you. If you have no interest, then let me. We can't just let such a beauty fall into someone else's arms, can we?"

Faced with Ouyang Ke's angry question, Su Yi replied calmly, "Anyway, Brother Ouyang, you can't participate! You must keep your word!"

Ouyang Ke was furious. What was going on? I let it go to you, but you don't participate, and you don't let me participate either? There's a limit to how much one can be disrespected!

"Brother Wanyan, what do you mean by this?" Ouyang Ke said in a sarcastic tone, "If you have no interest in this beauty, why are you blocking the toilet without using it? You're making me think you're targeting me!"

He was so angry that he didn't even use the "elder brother" title. As the nephew of the Western Poison, Ouyang Feng, why should he have to beg for someone's favor!

Both Su Yi and Mu Nianci looked uncomfortable. This guy's words were quite insulting!

Especially Mu Nianci, who was already on the verge of tears from being humiliated. She angrily huffed and was about to step forward, but was held back by Yang Tiexin, who forcibly embraced her.

This white-robed young man was clearly not someone to be trifled with. Since someone had already stepped in, why let his daughter take the risk...

Su Yi took a deep breath, looking uncomfortable. Mu Nianci was, after all, his sister in this body, and a girl he had a good impression of. He couldn't be happy seeing her humiliated. He then said sarcastically, "Brother Ouyang, I'm also thinking about this young lady. You have countless concubines, and even if you favor one a day, she wouldn't get a day off in two months. Even with your high martial arts and deep inner strength, you can't withstand such abuse! So... why waste her youth?"

This was a blatant mockery of Ouyang Ke's inability... Mu Nianci was originally very angry, but hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't as naive as Huang Rong and had been wandering for a long time, so she understood such low-level jokes... at least better than the clueless Guo Jing standing next to her.

"Brother Wanyan, are you determined to oppose me?" Ouyang Ke's face was already ashen, clearly very angry.

"It's not that I'm opposing you, Brother Ouyang, but why are you so persistent in pursuing this young lady?"

"She's not your sister. Why do you meddle in her affairs?"

Su Yi looked calm but secretly admired Ouyang Ke. You guessed right, she really is my sister!

"Anyway, as long as I'm here, Brother Ouyang, you can't participate. If you give me this face, I'm willing to pay for you to enjoy the best courtesans in the capital for three days and three nights as an apology. How about that?"

What do you need that money for? Ouyang Ke was choked, almost fainting from anger.

"Brother Wanyan, please step aside. If you have interest, I'll yield. But if you have no interest, don't ruin my good thing! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Su Yi smiled indifferently and said seriously, "I'm ready to learn the skills of the White Camel Mountain's young master!"

"Good courage! If I disappoint Brother Wanyan today, won't I be disgracing the White Camel Mountain?"

Ouyang Ke couldn't bear it any longer. Hmph, this guy practices some basic skills every day and thinks he's invincible? He definitely needs a good lesson, just don't kill him. At worst, when Wanyan Honglie holds me accountable, I'll hide back in the White Camel Mountain. No matter how great your father is, Wanyan Kang, you can't reach me!

But thinking of the beautiful world of the Central Plains, Ouyang Ke was quite reluctant!

Forget it, I'll just take more beauties back, especially this one, I can't let her go!

Ouyang Ke greedily sized up Mu Nianci, showing a strong desire to possess her. Faced with his lecherous gaze, Mu Nianci couldn't help but take a few steps back, showing a hint of fear.

For this beauty, it's worth it!

Thinking this, Ouyang Ke snapped his fan shut and clenched his left fist, ready to teach this guy who was targeting him a lesson.

Just then, someone forcefully stepped between the two.

"You're being unreasonable!"

The simple and brave young man named Guo Jing bravely stepped forward, standing next to Ouyang Ke and pointing at Su Yi, "He wants to participate, but you don't let him. Then you don't participate either. That's not fair! How can you do this?"

...

...

"Huh?"

Su Yi looked at Guo Jing, who was standing next to Ouyang Ke, tilted his head, and asked in confusion, "What kind of plot twist is this?"
