step by step

Chapter 200 Don't Be Strange
Zhuo Yibai's momentum was not weaker than his, the two stood facing each other, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

With the sound of drums, the two began to wrestle,
Fists and feet are interspersed in the sword like the wind, as fast as lightning, dozens of moves have been exchanged within a few breaths, and it is difficult to tell the winner.

Around the arena, some princes from aristocratic families who had finished the competition could not help but gather around.

Everyone watched the competition between the two intently, and many people showed excitement on their faces, as if they were watching a wonderful competition.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and the two retreated at the same time.

After Zhuo Yibai stabilized his body, he saw Ye Zhaoyan in the crowd out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

The result of today's battle is already doomed, if he is not a leader, he is naturally not worthy of accepting her sachet.

Thinking of the secrets he heard in the Zhuo Palace a few days ago, he comforted himself, perhaps it would be an excellent arrangement for the two to stagger and meet for a while.

Moreover, Zhuo Mingxuan became famous at a young age, and his status among his peers is beyond doubt.

As a controversial "late comer" of the family, even if there is no one that Zhuo Mingxuan wants at this banquet, he should not take his edge at such a crucial point.

Thinking in this way, the strength in his hand quietly restrained three points, turned offense into defense, and patiently fought against the opponent.

One of the two is calm and introverted, while the other is domineering and tyrannical. Each has its own characteristics. The figures are one in front of one and the other in the back.

In the eyes of everyone, it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

For about half an hour, both of them were panting, their foreheads were sweating, and their faces were slightly red.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A few more muffled sounds came, and the two met again. This time, the collision between the two was a bit more intense than before.

Just when Zhuo Yibai was numb from the opponent's sword and was about to let go, the opponent's long sword suddenly thrust out, piercing towards his chest with a strong airflow.

Zhuo Yibai was taken aback, and hastily drew out his sword to block.

"Clang!"

The sword tips collided together, making the sound of gold and iron.

With a sound of "dang", the long sword in Zhuo Mingxuan's hand fell to the ground, and he took two steps back slightly, easily stabilizing his figure.

"Second brother, you..." Zhuo Yibai looked at Zhuo Mingxuan in surprise.

There was a clear smile on Zhuo Mingxuan's face, he looked at Zhuo Yibai with a trace of complexity, "You won."

He is very clear about the power of this sword. Even if he blocks it with all his strength, Zhuo Mingxuan, who is quite strong, will not let go of the long sword.

However, in the eyes of everyone, this sword easily defeated Zhuo Mingxuan.

Even if Zhuo Mingxuan made a mistake, it also represented a not simple meaning.

This scene shocked people, what a powerful martial arts talent this young master of the Zhuo family really is.

"This competition is not as important to me as you are." Zhuo Mingxuan said softly.

He arched his hands under the stage and left gracefully.

Zhuo Yibai couldn't help being slightly taken aback, followed closely, "Thank you, Second Brother, for your mercy."

Zhuo Mingxuan waved his hand, he did this not because of superficial reasons, but naturally there are other deep meanings.

It's just that he can't say these words to Zhuo Yibai.

Zhuo Yibai watched Zhuo Mingxuan's back disappear from sight, and his gaze dimmed uncontrollably.

Although he won this one, it was not his intention.

After the results of the competition came out, all the noble ladies began to give out sachets. Except for a few sons from aristocratic families with superior backgrounds and a few talented men who knew the noble ladies, most of the princes who were eliminated did not receive sachets.

Although Zhuo Mingxuan lost to Zhuo Yibai, he got seven sachets, which is amazing.

Nearly [-]% of the ladies' sachets were collected by the three winners this time.

Not surprisingly, the one with the most sachets was Zhuo Yibai, who had the most outstanding background and talent among the three, with as many as eighteen sachets.

Although the other two also obtained a lot of sachets, they were only around ten.

"Xiao Le, you have gained a lot!" Li Xiaojiu joked with a smile as he looked at Shi Youle who had gained a lot.

Hearing Li Xiaojiu's jokes, Shi Youle didn't have much smile on his face, and whispered: "Brother Li, have you ever seen who gave Miss Ye's sachet to?"

"How do I know this? I don't like her, so why do I keep staring at her movements?" Li Xiaojiu continued jokingly.

Shi Youle's handsome face instantly turned red, "Brother Li, how embarrassing you are for teasing me like this."

Li Xiaojiu laughed, "Okay, okay, I just don't laugh at you, don't look so shy. I just saw that Miss Ye's sachet is still in my hand, but I don't know it later. If you really want it, you might as well be thick-skinned!"

Shi Youle's face suddenly turned redder, even the roots of her ears turned red.

How thick-skinned is he!Although he has a free and easy temper, he doesn't have such a thick skin.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xiaojiu, only to see that the latter was looking at him with a smirk on his face.

Shi Youle took a deep breath, rushed out quickly, and ran to Ye Zhaoyan's side.

Ye Zhaoyan just walked out of the seat, she wanted to give away her sachet, but saw that Zhuo Yibai was surrounded by a group of noble girls and was always busy. Thinking of the situation and this situation, sending this thing would probably cause heated discussions, so she decided to go to Cheng Yuyan as a companion.

There are still two hours before the Hundred Flowers Banquet will start, so I just go back to my room to rest for a while.

"Miss Ye, are you leaving now? Why don't you come together, I have something to tell you."

Shi Youle blushed almost to the point of bleeding, and her clear eyes were full of anticipation.

When he saw Ye Zhaoyan walking to his side, his heart beat suddenly.

He had never felt that time passed so slowly, and he didn't even dare to look at each other.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at him, then walked towards Cheng Yuyan, "Let's talk as we go."

Her indifferent behavior made Shi Youle feel disappointed, and he followed Ye Zhaoyan dejectedly.

"What is Master Shi looking for?" Ye Zhaoyan asked.

"I" Shi Youle hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and was about to speak, but heard a pleasant voice.

"Miss Ye, what friend are you talking to?"

Cheng Yuyan was dressed in a light pink dress, standing gracefully in the crowd, like a delicate lotus flower.

"Miss Cheng, he is the son of the Shi family, Shi Youle." Ye Zhaoyan explained.

Cheng Yuyan smiled and nodded, "So it's Mr. Shi."

She caught a glimpse of the sachet in Ye Zhaoyan's hand and said in surprise, "Huh? Why is this sachet still there?"

"Oh, I forgot to give it away. This sachet is not bad for your own use." Ye Zhaoyan casually stuffed the sachet into Cheng Yuyan's hand.

Shi Youle saw that the sachet was about to fall into Cheng Yuyan's hands, and in a panic, he grabbed the sachet, snatched it, and held it tightly in his hand.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at his palm, "Master Shi?"

"I, I was not careful..." Shi Youle hurriedly shook his head, at a loss, the sachet in his hand was like a hot potato.

　I don't feel well today, the update is late, sorry everyone.
