Gasp!Darryl heard a commotion coming from downstairs just when he was taking his rest.“Wow, he’s so good-looking! So handsome!”“He also has so many servants, which family is this person from? He’s too cool…”Darryl was suddenly annoyed by the girl’s screams which came through.“Eldest Dragon, what’s going on downstairs?” Darryl could not help but ask.Eldest Dragon quickly entered and politely replied, “Boss, it seems that some rich family’s son is preparing to participate in the afternoon’s preliminary literary competition …”‘Who is that? Why is it such a big deal?’Darryl frowned and walked out only to notice the Four Phoenixes standing there being mesmerized once he was out.He followed their eyes and noticed a man sitting by the table slowly sipping tea on the first floor.He gave off an extraordinary aura in his white silk shirt. He was a good-looking man with angular facial features. Dozens of huge burly men in black stood behind him—clearly his bodyguards.“That’s
Florian then scanned the surroundings before he smiled and said, “Only those with good literary skills can pass to the next round!”The contestants then frowned and were deep in thought.‘F*ck, this is a little similar to the imperial examination in ancient times.’Darryl muttered secretly at that moment. He did not know whether to laugh or cry! He was still alright with writing but was unfamiliar with the ancient writing style.‘Yes!’Darryl suddenly thought of something amidst his conflict as his eyes brightened. He spoke to Pang Tong in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, “Pang Tong, can you write such essays?”“Haha…” Pang Tong laughed relaxedly. “Master, don’t worry. This is a piece of cake to me.”A simple essay piece was but a simple matter to him as a famous strategist par with Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms.Pang Tong pondered for a while before saying, “Let’s write a piece on… Formations then.”“Hmm!” Darryl nodded before immediately instructing and said, “B
“Haha…”Darryl was elated as he had passed through both the literary and martial arts preliminaries. The next day would be the actual competition.He looked back at Yvette sitting on the high platform as he left the competition square and suddenly felt a little urgency in his heart.‘Yvette, wait three days for me. I’ll enter the finals three days later.’Darryl then returned to the inn to meet up with the Four Dragons and Four Phoenixes. Someone hurriedly rushed out of the competition square and directly bumped into Darryl right at this moment.Thud!‘F*ck, why are you still bumping into me when the entrance is so wide? Where are you rushing off to?’Darryl was depressed and confused at the same time.‘It’s soft, what did I just bump into?’The next second, Darryl glanced at the person in front of him and he was suddenly stunned.This person in a pastel yellow shirt had a fair and clean face with a studious look. It was clear this person was a literary competition contestant
In truth, Darryl did not want to argue with her. However, he had nothing to do at that moment after just passing the preliminaries and thought of teasing her.Darryl was curious as to who this young lady was and how she was so bold to disguise herself as a man and attended the martial arts marriage tournament. Was she not afraid she might be killed if her identity was exposed?“You…” Parker trembled and looked at Darryl in disbelief. How did he know she was a woman?No one could tell since registration until that moment.Darryl smiled ambiguously in the next moment and sized her up. Parker instantly realized something as she blushed.‘Right, just now he bumped into me. H-he must have felt something…’ Parker was extremely embarrassed, with that thought in mind and her face turned red as an apple before she started panicking a little.“Well?” Darryl smiled upon seeing her expression change and said, “Are you still going to argue with me? This martial arts marriage tournament is m
“Woo!”Parker let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Darryl’s agreement.Darryl could not help but ask curiously at that moment, “I still don’t know your name. Why did you disguise yourself as a man to join the tournament?”Parker laughed and proudly answered, “Me? I’m Parker Yohan from the Famed Swords Manor of the Yellow Sea Continent. I’m mainly here to prove that my talents are as good if not better than any man.”‘What? The Famed Swords Manor?’ Darryl was stunned and secretly in shock.Although he had never been to the Yellow Sea Continent, he had long heard of the Yellow Sea Continent’s Famed Swords Manor weapons foraging family with communications between Nine Mainlands having been opened up for a long time.He had not expected to meet someone from there.Parker could not help but ask at that moment, “How about you? What’s your name?”Darryl smiled and said, “I’m Luca Moonlight!”Parker could not help but secretly mutter to herself, ‘Luca Moonlight? Such a strange name. I
Florian was spirited and delighted before he immediately headed to the main entrance. “Quickly, welcome him!”Yumi followed suit.Florian and Yumi were extremely elated at that moment.‘Haha…’ Matteo Hanson was a famous figure among the New World’s world of cultivators and for Matteo to accept his invitation meant he had shown Florian great respect!They noticed Matteo slowly approaching them while being accompanied by Ambrose Darby when they were at the main entrance.Florian was overjoyed and quickly welcomed him before saying in his utmost respectful and excited tone, “My! Sect Master Hanson, welcome to my humble abode. Your presence will be a huge blessing to my Darby Residence…”“You’re too polite, Master Darby!” Matteo smiled and greeted Florian with a fist-palm greeting. “You're highly favored by His Majesty and in a high position, yet you humbly invited us scholars and cultivators like me. It’s my honor to attend.”Matteo had an arrogant personality and would not even ta
However, Darryl could never forget Yumi’s evil heart under that beautiful appearance. He would never forget how Florian and Yumi had slandered him.It was due to them that he was being blamed as the monster who defiled his own sibling, yelled at by the Donghai people, and kicked out of the Darby family. He was even targeted by the entire World Universe’s world of cultivators.Although those incidents have passed and he also managed to regain his reputation, he could never forget about this.Especially the previous time when Darryl was suddenly attacked by Florian at the most crucial moment during the palace chaos he caused in the course of seeking revenge for his master—Ford South. He might have died in Florian’s hands were it not for Yvette who rescued him in a timing manner.Darryl never forgot to seek revenge, yet he had not expected that he would meet them here.Darryl was more surprised that the banquet was held by Florian who Parker forth mentioned was the Governor General.
Parker flatly said, “Just find another seat later.”she did not look at Darryl at all as she said that. Her gaze was on the person sitting opposite her all relaxed and comfortable—Kilenc Dokko.That was right, Kilenc was adored by many young girls including Parker as the talented genius of Middle Terra.Parker was initially unwilling to attend the banquet as she was afraid her crossdressing disguise would be exposed. However, she came the moment she knew Kilenc would be there.Parker only treated Darryl like any other ordinary contestant who should be grateful that he could at least attend the banquet.‘F*ck! Is she planning to just leave me alone once she brought me in?’Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry upon feeling Parker’s indifference.“What are you still standing here for?” Geoff impatiently said, “Leave my seat.”Many surrounding people laughed when he said that as they gave Darryl a ridiculing look. ‘This dude is pretty interesting. He’s so simple-minded, ye
