On the day of the martial arts conference, the first master of Xiangzi Mountain, Ren Nanfeng, and his four disciples Xiaozhi, Wumiao, Mushan, and Yehui came to Qianmei Lake and sat down with the heads of the four Huarong Yuefei families to preside over this grand meeting.
Among them are members of the Hua family: Mrs. Hua Cui Xiulin, the head Hua Baixiang, the eldest son Hua Fengsheng, the third son Hua Qingqing, and the fourth daughter Hua Wanyu;
There are people in the Rong family: the head Rong Hengyuan, the eldest daughter Rong Pei, the second son Rong Qing, and the third son Rong Du;
There are people in the Yue family: the head Yue Wei, the wife Fei Shi, the eldest daughter Yue Fuyao, the second son Yue Liang, and the third daughter Yue Zhuang;
There are people in the Fei family: the old lady Fei Yi Nong, the second son Fei Chunhe, the third son Fei Xianyun, and the fourth son Fei Ao.
Among them, the Yue family and the Fei family are related by marriage, and Fei Shi, the eldest daughter of the Fei family, is the wife of the Yue family.
Once a year, the martial arts conference hosted by the four families not only determines the ranking of martial arts rookies, but also updates the rankings of the four families. Those in the family who do not know martial arts are not included in the rankings. They are based on the overall entry status of the four families. Decide who is the leader. Because the Hua family is in Yecheng, the martial arts conference has been held in the imperial capital for three consecutive years.
The location of the competition was set on Qianmei Lake. Qianmei Lake was about fifty feet wide from left to right. It was famous for the plum blossom piles with an inch of dew in the lake. The contestants competed in this plum blossom pile, which was also a test.
The method of competition is very simple. One person sits on the bank and challenges each other in turns. The winner stays and accepts the challenge of the next person until he is defeated.
The martial arts competition has been a major event since ancient times, so today the area around Qianmei Lake was already crowded with people.
Fei Ao came early. He didn't see Hua Jinglan until everyone from the four families arrived. He couldn't help but whisper: "Why is there one person missing?"
"Sister Hua can't enter the level, so she may not come to compete." Yue Zhuang said with some disappointment.
On the other side, Cui Xiulin glanced at his family, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Where did Jinglan go?"
"No one has been seen since morning." Hua Baixiang said.
After hearing this, Mei Er quickly disappeared into the crowd. He followed Cui Xiulin to pick up the fourth envoy. Something must have happened in the past few days!
Hua Queqi heard the conversation between the two and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Hua Fei. The latter glanced at the anxious Hua Wanyu and shook her head at him.
Hua Queqi clenched his fists, and then loosened his fists. No matter what, Wanyu was his closest relative. Hua Jinglan... If he wanted to take advantage of his personal life to complain, it would be fine if he didn't come!
The cowhide drum sounds, and the competition has begun!

"Boom!" The Hua Mansion was shaken for a while. Haoyue and Izumo stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on outside.
"Was...an earthquake just now?" Izumo turned his head blankly and happened to see Hua Jinglan walking into the courtyard door. He was startled and ran over quickly, "Miss, where have you been these days?"
Hua Jinglan grabbed his arm, her eyes shining, "Get me some food quickly!"
