Chapter 101 - Martial Arts Competition

The streets of the ancient city are ten points lively, with countless pedestrians coming and going. The shouts of vendors and the voices of pedestrians are intertwined. It is so lively, so real, and full of vitality. Who would have thought that this is just an illusion ne? If Su Yu had not seen the formation of this illusion with his own eyes, he would not believe it.

Su Yu and Northfield walked one after the other.

What happened in the box just now was a little embarrassing. Mu Zhen suggested that the four of them be divided into two groups to search for news in the city. Everyone has different perspectives on things. It will be more effective to communicate with each other at the end.

Don't know why Mu Zhen made this suggestion, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Su Yu nodded and agreed. Since they have to divide into groups, Northfield and Mu Zhen must not be in the same group. The strength of these two people is the strongest among the four. In addition, the tense scene just now, whether for the sake of balancing strength or other things, it is not allowed.

Then it developed into what it is now.

Northfield and Su Yu, while Lance and Mu Zhen.

After the two of them left the restaurant, they walked on the street in silence without communicating. Northfield, who was one step behind, was in a state of confusion. His mind kept replaying the scene in the box just now. He thought for a while that he was too tough and scared Su Yu. Then he thought again that Su Yu pulled his clothes to comfort him's apparence was really... cute.

After three games, this was the first time Su Yu approached him.

"Thank you for what happened just now." Su Yu slowed down his pace without knowing when, gradually approached Northfield, and broke the dull atmosphere between the two of them.

Northfield was startled and quickly broke free from his emotions: "No, I should do it."

With just two simple exchanges, the dull atmosphere was swept away. Although neither side said anything, they still walked one after the other. The distance between them was not as long as before, only half a step apart. Walking together, there was a sense of silent harmony.

When they reached a place, Su Yu heard the sound of gongs and drums, full of joy.

What is this? Su Yu paused and turned to look at Northfield. The latter seemed to understand Su Yu's intention immediately, and asked, "Do you want to go over and take a look ma?"

The two of them reached a consensus, changed the direction of their route and walked towards the direction of the gongs and drums.

[Scratching head, am I feeling wrong ma? Why do I feel that he not only like him, but also have a feeling of respect and submission? Am I going crazy to use these two words on Lord Northfield.]

[No way ba? If it's just like him, there is a reason to explain it, but respect and submission is a bit outrageous.]

[I tell you, it's best not to make random judgments on Su Yu's live broadcast. Think about the previous game, no one guessed the real development. Be smart and just watch the live broadcast.]

The seniors brought out the bloody history of being slapped in the face. In the earnest teachings, the barrage gradually quieted down and turned to talk about other things. It is not ruled out that because the light screen picture changed, they followed to divert their attention.

Following the sound, Su Yu and Northfield walked all the way to the end of the street. There were more people gathered at the end than outside the street, but they were all attracted by the joyful sound. After all, it is the nature of most life to love to join in the fun.

"Are they setting up a stage for a play?" Before he got close, Su Yu had already seen a tall wooden stage from a distance, and the sound of gongs and drums was behind the wooden stage. Walking, Su Yu saw a group of people dressed in exaggerated clothes on the stage and began their performance.

This scene looked very much like a traditional Chinese drama on Earth, which made Su Yu feel familiar, because his adoptive father loved to watch this thing. Whenever a troupe came to the village to perform, his adoptive father would grab him to watch it.

However, this scene brought back memories, Su Yu felt a little nostalgic in his heart. He rejected the crowded and noisy environment, but did not choose to leave immediately, but found a place with few people and stopped to watch the drama for a while. Northfield did not ask or urge, but followed quietly by his side.

The play was very short, and ended in less than ten minutes. The audience applauded like thunder, some people mixed in and shouted for another show.

Su Yu was not going to continue watching. They still had to look for clues. The two were about to turn around and leave, but they found that the voices of the people around them stagnated. Then, they heard a rough, loud and deep female voice: "This time, the martial arts competition to invite a groom is for our Qin family's eldest lady, so I won't say useless nonsense. If anyone is interested in my family's lady, please go on stage ba. Only those who stay until the end are qualified to see my family's lady. After all, only the strong can hold the beauty."

Martial arts competition to invite a groom? This, Su Yu has only seen in TV dramas and stories, it is the first time he has encountered it in reality. The most important thing is that in various literary creations, in order to promote the plot or other things, under normal circumstances, this matter often leads to other developments, and rarely ends peacefully.

Thinking of this, Su Yu stopped his action again. What he imagined might not necessarily happen. After all, reality is not that dramatic. But he was not in a hurry to do anything now. He could stay and observe what happened this time.

At the beginning of the competition, the first people to go on stage were ordinary people. Both sides fought with brute force. After a few people, a person who knew some martial arts moves finally came up. The competition continued, and the people who came on stage became stronger and stronger. However, no matter how strong they were, they did not exceed the range of ordinary people. They were all weak.

Until the end of the competition, the final winner appeared, there was no abnormal situation. The whole process was very plain and ordinary. After watching the whole scene, Su Yu did not feel disappointed. He just thought that reality did not have so many dramatic developments.

"Let's go ba." Su Yu whispered.

The two left the noisy and lively environment, and Northfield asked: "Did you find anything ma?"

Su Yu: "No."

"It's just the beginning. It's normal not to find anything." Northfield silently made amends.

After talking, the two returned to their original position and continued walking along the original route. Both of them were walking at a fast pace, but it was impossible to walk around the entire city in a short time, unless Su Yu called out the Zerg as a means of transportation and quickly walked around the city, which was almost enough.

The four people returned to the restaurant's box after dark. Mu Zhen and Lance came back first. The former was quite leisurely and called the waiter to order a table of good wine and food. When Northfield and Su Yu came back, he greeted them warmly: "Come, eat first. You must be hungry after a tiring day ba? Let me tell you, everything in this illusion is very real, including the food. The taste is also very good, not inferior to a certain restaurant in the outside world."

As expected, Northfield did not react. When the strength reaches a certain level, all kinds of needs are not necessary, including food. Mu Zhen smiled, meaningless, anyway, his goal is Su Yu. He understood that as long as Su Yu is stabilized, Northfield and Lance will be stabilized. Although he couldn't figure out what was going on with these two from Zerg civilization, it was a good thing for him a!

Facing Mu Zhen's enthusiasm, Su Yu responded politely, but did not move his chopsticks.

Ok ba, Mu Zhen is used to this treatment. It is better than Northfield. His requirements are not high. He sat back in his seat, coughed lightly, and got to the point. Mu Zhen asked Su Yu: "So? Did you find any useful clues ma?"

Under Mu Zhen's gaze, Su Yu shook his head. The expected answer did not disappoint Mu Zhen. He was trapped in this illusion and experienced several resets. Except for the first two times, he wanted to break the illusion violently. After finding that it was useless, he learned his lesson and turned to observe the rules and anomalies of the illusion. If the hard way didn't work, he tried the soft way. He wanted to solve the illusion with normal means.

Unfortunately, the illusion was reset again, and he didn't find any clues... In this case, if Su Yu found clues on the same day, Mu Zhen should doubt whether there was any problem with his IQ. Fortunately, there was no problem.

"This illusion is really a headache." Mu Zhen poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and suddenly put down the glass: "Why don't we be straightforward and destroy this city before the end of the illusion, and force out the things that created this illusion."

"Hasn't Sword Master Mu Zhen tried this trick ma?" Lance asked.

Oh, oh, that's fine, just pretend he didn't say it, Mu Zhen continued to drink.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Su Yu first briefly recounted what happened in the city during the day. Unexpectedly, when it came to the matter of the martial arts competition to recruit a groom, Mu Zhen, who was drinking, paused. He held the wine glass and wondered: "Isn't the second lady of the Qin family getting married ma?"

Su Yu paused. Could it be that he remembered it wrongly? Recalling his memory again, yes, in his memory, the martial arts competition to recruit a groom was about the eldest lady.

Mu Zhen continued: "Once the illusion was reset, I went out to look for clues and happened to run into a wedding procession. The maid said that the second young lady was getting married." The monk's memory is very good. Not to mention the reset of the illusion, even if it was months or even years ago, as long as there is a need, he will remember it clearly and will not make mistakes in such a small matter.

At this time, Northfield, who was sitting next to Su Yu, said: "Eldest young lady."

Mu Zhen looked at Northfield. If one person said this, he could suspect that there was a mistake, but if two people said this, then there was a big problem. After drinking the last sip of wine and putting down the wine glass, Mu Zhen excitedly said: "Could this matter be related to the illusion?"

Whether the two are related or not, it is not possible to draw a conclusion for the time being, but it is certain that this matter is not normal. The eldest lady had competition for a groom, but the second lady is getting married.

"Let's go ba, let's go collect information and solve this illusion!" Mu Zhen stood up instantly. Originally, the reason why he participated in the Interstellar Tournament was that he lacked spiritual stones for cultivation. He finally waited for the benefits of a resource map, but he was trapped in the illusion and didn't gain anything.

A martial arts competition to recruit a groom, such a thing, and from a wealthy family. There is no need to look carefully. Just find a pedestrian on the street and the four of them will know where the Qin family mansion is.

The red lanterns at the door are hung high, and the stone lions on both sides also have red hydrangeas tied to their chests, which are festive and can be seen at a glance.
