Chapter 727 A gentleman has no power
On the arena of martial arts competition to find a bride.

Because Lin Yueru defeated many opponents who came on stage to compete, and she was extremely ruthless, no one dared to go on stage for a while.

Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er said a few words about how they shouldn't have been too harsh on her. Lin Yueru, who already had a grudge against Li Xiaoyao, immediately started to stir up trouble.

then,

The two started fighting on the ring.

Lin Yueru is Lin Tiannan's only daughter.

Lin Tiannan naturally would not hide her martial arts skills. Her martial arts skills are extremely superb.

Li Xiaoyao is the son of destiny of this era. He is gifted and can instantly learn and replicate any moves he has seen.

The two fought hard in the ring.

Lin Tiannan, who was far away, was also satisfied with what he saw.

Lin Tiannan could see that Li Xiaoyao's martial arts were from the Shushan School, and he was even more satisfied with the talent of Li Xiaoyao who could learn the Lin family's martial arts at a glance.

The most important thing is that Li Xiaoyao is handsome and much more handsome than those who were driven down before.

Although Lin Tiannan was worried about marrying off his daughter, he didn't want to force his daughter to marry some ugly guy.

"Whoosh————"

An arrow whizzed past from a distance and shot directly towards the ring.

Lin Tiannan stood up immediately, his eyes filled with anger, but after looking at the direction from which the arrow came, he slowly sat down again.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Zhao Linger said in shock.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, who were fighting fiercely on the stage, also realized that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, they were a step too slow after all.

The arrow hit Li Xiaoyao directly.

"Ding!"

"Brother Xiaoyao, are you okay?" Zhao Linger went to help Li Xiaoyao who fell off the stage.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "It's okay! The person who shot the arrow just now held back. There was no arrowhead on the arrow, and he aimed at the scabbard behind me."

Zhao Linger asked angrily: "Who is the one who attacked us?"

Li Xiaoyao was about to say that he didn't know either.

There was a commotion in the distance.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

Behind the crowd, an open carriage came galloping.

The carriage was the type seen on the battlefields of the Spring and Autumn Period. Three handsome horses were pulling the carriage at an extremely fast speed.

Standing on the carriage was a young man in white and Confucian clothes. He held the reins in one hand and waved the whip with the other, controlling the direction of the carriage.

The young man in white exuded an invisible energy that enveloped the entire carriage. All the people along the way were repelled by this energy and would not be hit by the speeding carriage.

"cousin?"

Lin Yueru looked at the person who drove over in surprise.

The young man in white standing on the chariot was none other than the number one scholar Liu Jinyuan.

"Cousin, I also want to participate in the martial arts competition to win a bride." Liu Jinyuan said to Lin Yueru.

After finishing speaking, Liu Jinyuan turned around and bowed to Li Xiaoyao apologetically, saying: "I'm sorry, brother, but I'm determined to get my cousin."

"Hmph! What do you think of me? Cousin, you are indeed good at studying, but this is a martial arts competition to win a husband, so don't humiliate yourself." Lin Yueru snorted coldly. She felt unhappy with Liu Jinyuan's words, but at the same time she was kindly reminding Liu Jinyuan to avoid making a fool of himself.

Liu Jinyuan stood straight and calmly walked down from the chariot. His every move was extremely polite and in accordance with the rules.

It looks extremely elegant.

If a writer sees it, he will praise it.

But this scene did not look like that to Lin Tiannan, Lin Yueru, and the onlookers.

In the eyes of these martial artists, he looked effeminate and pedantic. "Who is this nerd? Is he here to make fun of me?"

"Is this the funny guy hired by the monkey?"

……

The people in the crowd discussed it with contempt and mockery.

"It seems he is the current top scholar."

I don't know who said this, but after that, the boiling discussion gradually died down.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Jinyuan changed, and there was no longer that mocking look in his eyes.

But there was a kind of expectation in their eyes.

I look forward to seeing the strongest scholar among the literati getting beaten.

·············
Lin Yueru looked at Liu Jinyuan who was walking slowly up to the stage and frowned, "Cousin, I advise you to get off."

Liu Jinyuan still had the same expression, and with the attitude of a humble gentleman, he asked Lin Yueru to take action.

Seeing this, Lin Yueru stopped trying to persuade him: "Draw your sword!"

Liu Jinyuan did not draw the exquisite and gorgeous long sword at his waist, and said: "Confucius said: A gentleman does not use tools. I will just use my hands."

As soon as these words came out,
Lin Tiannan frowned and thought to himself, "A gentleman does not use weapons. Doesn't it mean that a gentleman should not be obsessed with means without thinking about the purpose behind them? When did it become not using weapons?"

Lin Yueru was really furious. This was simply a naked provocation to her. She snorted coldly, "Cousin, you don't use weapons. Do you want to defeat me with Confucius' etiquette and morality?"

Originally it was a mocking remark, but Liu Jinyuan frowned and thought seriously for a while before saying, "No, no, no!!! How can I use Confucius' etiquette and morality to fight with my cousin!"

Lin Yueru just showed a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth, saying "You've got what's best for you".

Liu Jinyuan said with an honest and serious look on his face: "There is no need for etiquette, rituals, and morality. It is enough to win people over with virtue."

Lin Yueru looked at Liu Jinyuan in surprise: "You... have lost your mind."

then,

Lin Yueru didn't want to continue talking to Liu Jinyuan. She felt that her cousin was not normal today and planned to send him away quickly.

Lin Yueru didn't want to hurt Liu Jinyuan, so she planned to knock him down with one palm.

"Pong!"

"What?" Lin Tiannan's pupils shrank.

He just saw Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan fighting each other, and Liu Jinyuan almost knocked Lin Yueru off the ring with one punch.

"Cousin, is this your way of winning people over with virtue? You actually plotted against me." Lin Yueru was furious.

At this moment, he felt that Liu Jinyuan was just playing dumb to trick her.

"Cousin, this is indeed my virtue."

Lin Yueru was about to sneer in disdain, but ended up looking over there.

On Liu Jinyuan's fist that had just fought with her, a golden word "德" was shining continuously.

"Cough cough!!!"

Li Xiaoyao below said nonchalantly: "It seems that he was yelling with his fist!"

"Cousin, even if you know martial arts, you will never be my opponent. I have already mastered all the martial arts of the Lin family."

Liu Jinyuan smiled and said, "There is only a golden house in the book, there is only... ahem!!! I will use my Confucian Five Constant Skills to ask my cousin for advice."

Lin Tiannan, who was sitting on the seat, frowned and said, "The Five Constant Skills of Confucianism? What on earth is that?"

Lin Yuru already knew that Liu Jinyuan was not a scholar without any martial arts skills, so she became serious.

but,

Lin Yueru did not use any weapons. As the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world, she was naturally proud.

Liu Jinyuan didn't use weapons, so why did she use them now? Doesn't that prove that she has no confidence?
