Chapter 73

Perhaps no one would have thought that with the strength of the Bai family, Bai Mei would still be miraculously standing in the arena after Bai Caiyi's defeat, making it into the final four.

"Only four are left, that's about it, you should go down too." Du Shaofu turned to look at Bai Mei beside him, his eyes following the back of Ye Zijin.

"Alright, be careful yourself."

Bai Mei nodded lightly, then, as if summoned by some unknown courage, she tiptoed and quickly kissed Du Shaofu on the cheek, like a dragonfly skimming the water, then her face turned a deep shade of red, and she turned to leave hurriedly.

Countless eyes were stunned, this scene was unexpected.

All around the square, countless young girls immediately shot murderous glances at Bai Mei.

The young men of the Bai family were even more indignant, never expecting that a woman of the Bai family would throw herself at Du Shaofu. This made them lose face, not only unable to defeat the Du family, but now they couldn't even protect the women of their own clan.

"This kid is really something, he's got a set of skills, hehe."

Du Zhixiong laughed, extremely pleased with himself. He turned to look at his elder brother, Du Zhenwu, and saw that his face was also wearing a proud smile.

Du Shaofu was also taken aback, looking at Bai Mei's back, he really wanted to rush forward and say, "Girl, you're overthinking it, I'm protecting you, but it's not what you think." But after hesitating for a moment, he didn't chase after her. In front of so many people, it didn't seem quite right to say such things.

"Is this my first kiss? Just a kiss on the cheek, it shouldn't count as a first kiss, right?" Then he touched the spot where she had kissed him, his first kiss couldn't just be lost like this. But it couldn't be helped, if she kissed him, she kissed him. Learn from this, be more careful in the future.

"Let me deal with him."

Cao Qitai said to Qin Xiaolu beside him.

Qin Xiaolu didn't speak, her gaze swept over Du Shaofu in front of her. She knew she wasn't a match for Du Shaofu. The remaining matter was the showdown between Cao Qitai and Du Shaofu. After nodding to Cao Qitai, she sheathed her sword and stepped out of the circle.

All around the square, it suddenly became quiet.

In the center of the square, a young man in a long robe and a youth in a purple robe stood. Next, this would be the final peak confrontation among the young generation of the five major families. These two were the main event.

Whether it was the onlookers around the square or the people of the five major families, everyone could see that Cao Qitai and Du Shaofu were the two strongest among the young generation of the five major families. Their cultivation levels were also shrouded in mystery, deep and unfathomable.

Therefore, everyone was a bit nervous about the upcoming confrontation. From the two of them just now, it was really hard to guess who would ultimately win.

"This Cao Qitai is very strong, I wonder what cultivation method he has practiced, making it hard to see his true level." Du Zhenwu said in a low voice to Du Zhixiong beside him.

"Probably at least a middle-grade Xuan-level cultivation method, otherwise it would be hard to conceal the fluctuations in his cultivation aura."

Du Zhixiong's expression turned slightly serious, also becoming a bit nervous, he said softly, "I wonder if Shaofu can hold his own."

"Don't forget, Shaofu is the third son's son." Du Zhenwu said lightly.

"Yes, that kid is the third son's son, how could the third son's son lose?" Du Zhixiong suddenly felt an immense confidence, and his previously tense expression relaxed.

All around the square, countless eyes were now fixed on the two figures in the circle, holding their breath, waiting for the final confrontation.

Everyone wanted to know, in the final showdown among the young generation of the five major families, would it be Du Shaofu, who had been known as a fool for ten years, or the outsider son-in-law of the Qin family who would come out on top.

But no matter what the result, this confrontation among the young generation of the five major families was already different from the past, absolutely the most special one.

"It's clear that you are very strong." Cao Qitai said, looking at Du Shaofu with a smile.

Du Shaofu chuckled, "Yes, I also think I am very strong, you have good eyesight."

Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Cao Qitai was momentarily stunned. He could guess dozens of possible responses, but he never expected Du Shaofu to answer so confidently, leaving him at a loss for words.

"But I don't like you, you hurt my fiancée, so today I will give you a lesson." Cao Qitai's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Du Shaofu nodded understandingly, "I can understand you, I am not only strong, but I also beat up your fiancée, it's hard for you to like me, but I can only express my regret to you."

"You..."

Cao Qitai felt a surge of anger in his heart, making him very uncomfortable. He felt that no matter who he faced, whether he liked or disliked them, whether they were men or women, enemies or friends, he could always find common ground. But with this kid in front of him, they were completely on different wavelengths.

"Phew!"

Cao Qitai took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, his expression returning to calm. He looked at Du Shaofu with a hint of coldness, "There's no need for more talk, let me see how strong you really are. I also want to know how far your true strength has reached."

"I've already beaten your fiancée, if I beat you again, it would feel too much like bullying. How about you surrender? If you surrender, I won't have to beat you." Du Shaofu said weakly.

"Do you think you have that kind of strength?"

Cao Qitai took another deep breath, feeling that the anger in his heart was becoming harder to suppress.

"I feel that I am very strong, probably stronger than you."

Du Shaofu nodded confidently, then looked at Cao Qitai curiously, "I heard you are the son-in-law of the Qin family, so you are half a Qin family member. I've always been puzzled, logically, Qin Xiaolu is your fiancée, so she should be part of your Cao family, but how are you half a Qin family member? Could it be that you are a赘婿 (zhuixu, a man who marries into a family)?"

The more Du Shaofu spoke, the more he felt he was right, nodding to himself, "I guess it must be like this, because you are not as strong as me, you couldn't find a wife, so you had to come to our Stone City and marry into the Qin family..."

"Du Shaofu, today I will make you regret meeting me!"

Cao Qitai's suppressed anger finally burst out, a powerful and cold aura immediately spreading out.

"Don't be angry, if you are a赘婿 (zhuixu), you are still a赘婿 (zhuixu). No one in our Stone City will discriminate against you because you are a赘婿 (zhuixu), and we promise not to bully you, because the people of our Stone City are very warm and welcoming, really." Du Shaofu said with a serious expression to Cao Qitai.

"Haha, that's right, the people of our Stone City are very warm and welcoming."

"That's right, the people of our Stone City won't discriminate against赘婿 (zhuixu)."

...

The onlookers around the square couldn't hold back their laughter, Du Shaofu's words undoubtedly linked himself and the entire Stone City together. Since Cao Qitai was indeed an outsider, all the onlookers naturally supported Du Shaofu.

Of course, the Qin family was an exception, and even their expressions became very unnatural.

"Ah, Cao Qitai has had it tough, enduring for so long."

Ye Baolin looked at the scene and sighed lightly, his gaze seemingly showing sympathy for Cao Qitai. If it were anyone else, they would have already lost control.

"This kid is so sharp-tongued, that's not like the third son at all." Du Zhenwu was also very puzzled, saying to Du Zhixiong beside him.

Du Zhixiong's lips curled into a smile, he chuckled, "But I like it, no wonder Du Hao and the others are no match for him, they are not even on the same level."

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan were all standing behind Du Zhixiong. Hearing this, they all felt very aggrieved, they were being attacked even when they were just standing there.
