279: misfortune

“You were at the first level of the Supreme Realm back then. Since you said you weren't a match for Youying Immortal, could it be that her realm was even higher than yours?”

Mu Wuchen scrutinized Luo Shuihan and asked.

Luo Shuihan snorted and continued.

“While Ying Youyou is a bit unlikable, her cultivation talent is truly astonishing. When I had just broken through to the Supreme Realm, she was already close to the peak of the second level of the Supreme Realm.”

“She was born in the same year, month, and day as me, but she has always suppressed me in both cultivation and realm. Just thinking of her annoying face makes me…”

Luo Shuihan frowned, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth.

Seeing Luo Shuihan’s expression, Mu Wuchen found it somewhat amusing.

With her cool and aloof nature, for her to show such an attitude towards someone, it was clear that Youying Immortal Ying Youyou had caused her considerable psychological distress…

Although Luo Shuihan was cool and aloof, she was also very strong-willed, which could be seen from how she nurtured Beichen Lintian…

Moreover, the first time she became a succubus by Mu Wuchen’s side, she repeatedly expressed defiance and tried to rebel, but Mu Wuchen suppressed her every time…

However, just then, Luo Shuihan seemed to recall something, and her expression suddenly changed. From her initial gritting of teeth, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she even became eager to try…

She suddenly realized that she was no longer the same person she used to be…

Her strength and her talent, with Mu Wuchen’s help, had long since become incomparable.

Her current strength, compared to before, had not just improved a little, but had undergone a qualitative leap!

If she were to meet Ying Youyou again, the one who would be crushed would definitely not be herself!

Seeing the rapid change in Luo Shuihan’s expression, Mu Wuchen smiled faintly.

At the same realm, with the enhancement of the System World, unless they encountered those extremely heaven-defying Sons of Destiny, they were no longer afraid of anyone.

In Qianyan Immortal Domain, their strength, while not necessarily invincible, meant that those who could kill them should be very few…

Furthermore, he still had the Six Paths Demon Lord experience coupon that he hadn't used.

In the entire Qianyan Immortal Domain, as long as Great Emperors didn't appear, they had nothing to worry about!

Just then, a faint sound of wind suddenly passed through the skylight in the room, and Mu Wuchen’s brows instantly furrowed!

Something was strange!

This room was fortified with dozens of powerful formations, so even ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses couldn't spy on it. There shouldn't have been any movement!

Chirp—

Suddenly, the skylight in the room opened automatically, and a red-feathered arrow suddenly shot towards Mu Wuchen!

The red-feathered arrow was extremely fast; the naked eye couldn't even discern its trajectory, only barely catching a tiny red streak!

However, although the arrow was fast, it didn't seem to have much energy fluctuation, indicating that its purpose was clearly not to assassinate or harm Mu Wuchen…

Just as the red-feathered arrow reached Mu Wuchen, he extended two fingers and lightly grasped it, and the arrow instantly appeared between his fingertips.

Mu Wuchen looked at the small object in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was a property of Profound Weapon Pavilion, and it was the most expensive room in this city. There were numerous formations and restrictions to protect the safety of the occupants.

And under such heavy protection, for this arrow to be able to enter directly through the roof skylight without any obstruction, it was clearly not simple!

With curiosity, Mu Wuchen reached out and removed the feather from the arrow's tail.

At the base of the feather, there seemed to be a piece of paper and an extremely small and exquisite jade token.

The jade token was exquisitely crafted and felt extremely soft and smooth to the touch.

And when Mu Wuchen saw the pattern on the token, his expression immediately turned serious.

The pattern on the jade token was of four small swords.

And the shapes of the four small swords were identical to the original forms of the four Little Sword Girls, Hongyu, Azure Cloud, Green Scale, and Frozen Snow, that Mu Wuchen had previously obtained!

What was going on?

Could it be that the people of Profound Weapon Pavilion had long known of their existence in the Secret Realm?

Mu Wuchen picked up the jade token and then opened the small note beside it, only to see a few extremely neat and elegant small characters written inside.

“With this token, there is no need for preliminary selection.”

“Three months later, Xuantian City, I will wait for you in the city center.”

Upon seeing these words, Mu Wuchen’s frown deepened.

He knew that the martial arts competition for marriage in this city was just a preliminary selection.

More than a dozen nearby cities also had such preliminary selections.

After all, selecting a suitable son-in-law for the daughter of the Profound Weapon Pavilion Master couldn't be without requirements, which necessitated preliminary selections from various places…

Otherwise, if all sorts of riff-raff, and even old men wanting to climb the social ladder or bully the young, came to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage, wouldn't it break the rules and sully the eyes of the Profound Weapon Pavilion's Young Lady…

It was said that such a selection would last for about two months, and the chosen young talents would then undergo a brief rest before the formal martial arts competition for marriage.

And the final step of the martial arts competition for marriage would be held in the most important city of Profound Weapon Pavilion—the city center of Xuantian City.

There, the Little Princess of Profound Weapon Pavilion would make her final choice…

Mu Wuchen played with the exquisite soft jade in his hand, slowly sorting out what had just happened.

With this soft jade, he would no longer need to participate in this preliminary selection…

Although with his strength, he would have no opponents with just a slight move.

But being able to skip these tedious steps and go directly to the center of Xuantian City was certainly good.

“Did she give it to me?”

Mu Wuchen muttered to himself.

If he guessed correctly, the soft jade in his hand and that note should be from the protagonist of the martial arts competition for marriage, the Little Princess of Profound Weapon Pavilion, to him…

But how would she know of his existence?

After coming out of the Secret Realm, he had placed the four Little Sword Girls into the System World; it should have been impossible for anyone to discover them…

Moreover, he had the Heavenly Eye, and the true identities of everyone he saw could not be hidden.

He should not have encountered the Little Princess of Profound Weapon Pavilion…

Suddenly, Mu Wuchen seemed to remember something.

When he had just emerged from the Secret Realm of Profound Weapon Pavilion, while inspecting the divine weapons and sharp tools he had brought out, there was a special device next to Grandmaster Cui.

That device seemed to be able to detect those who secretly possessed treasures…

And when he passed by that device, at the very beginning, he felt an inexplicable hostility.

However, that hostility only lasted for a moment, and the brewing attack dissipated in an instant.

At that time, he was still wondering who the person behind this was…

Could it be that he was discovered at that time?

Could it be that the person behind this was the Young Lady of Profound Weapon Pavilion?

If that were truly the case, then the Young Lady of Profound Weapon Pavilion was likely not simple.

And this martial arts competition for marriage was likely not simply about choosing a man to marry into her family.

What puzzled and concerned Mu Wuchen the most was not these things.

But rather, what was her purpose…
