Recently, the capital city of Southern Yan has been extremely bustling. People on the streets and alleys have been enthusiastically discussing the upcoming happy events.
As soon as Yu Mingyi entered the city, he heard someone by the roadside say, "It's really a rare happy event that the prince is getting married and the princess is getting engaged!"
"Indeed. The Ji family is really blessed. We thought that after Ji Yuchen resigned from the position of prime minister, the Ji family would gradually decline. Who would have thought that both siblings have caught the eye of the royal family."
Yu Mingyi pricked up his ears and wondered in his heart... Who is Ji Yuchen?
"Hey, there's no need to be jealous. There are strange phenomena in the sky. Although the Ji family is holding a happy event, they haven't been extravagant. Instead, they've opened porridge kitchens widely to relieve the common people. I admire them for this!"
"Right, right..."
As soon as this person said this, others echoed one after another.
Now that there are strange phenomena in the sky and everyone is in a state of self - danger, anyone who steps forward at this time is showing a sense of responsibility.
Ji Yunxi originally had this plan. Now that things are going smoothly, her reputation has naturally improved.
The maid approached Yu Mingyi and whispered, "Master, what shall we do next?"
Yu Mingyi withdrew his attention and frowned, saying, "Go and send gifts to her first."
The entire Ji Mansion was busy preparing for the weddings of the four people, not knowing that someone was already close at hand.
Suddenly, a very beautiful woman stood outside the door and shouted, "Is this the Ji Mansion?"
The pageboy nodded and was immediately stuffed with a gift list.
The woman said, "My master is a friend of your young lady. Hearing that her happy event is approaching, she has specially come to send gifts... The Deep - Sea Must - Emerald Pearl! The Mysterious Elixir..."
Her voice was quite loud, and then one box after another was carried in.
Such a grand occasion attracted many onlookers, all curious about who had sent so many gifts to Ji Yunxi.
The pageboy was at a loss. The steward saw this from afar and went to invite Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw the gorgeous - looking man in the middle of the crowd.
"Yu Mingyi? What is he doing here suddenly with a group of people?"
There was a bit of dissatisfaction in Ji Yunxi's eyes. This man was like a dog - skin plaster that she couldn't shake off.
Hearing the news, Ji Yuchen also rushed out. After all, this man had made a big show and attracted a lot of attention.
"Who is he?"
Seeing his sister's unhappy face, Ji Yuchen also looked unhappy. "What are you doing?"
Before Ji Yunxi could answer, Yu Mingyi took a big step forward. "Brother Ji, I am Yu Mingyi, the crown prince of the Merman Clan. I've come here recently to propose marriage to Ji Yunxi."
He said it calmly, while there was an uproar around.
"Wait... This man is actually from the Merman Clan? Does such a clan really exist? Isn't that... a fish?!"
"Regardless of what he is, the most important thing now is that he actually wants to compete with the prince for the princess consort?!"
People were talking animatedly. Everyone thought he was crazy. Not only did he expose his identity as a merman, but he also made a big show to compete for Feng Xingzhi's wife!
Ji Yuchen was stunned for a moment and then turned to see his sister's unhappy look.
Fortunately, the two of them were not in love with each other, but he was just wishful - thinking.
So he politely declined. "Sorry, my younger sister is already engaged and will get married soon."
How could Yu Mingyi not know? The whole city was talking about their marriage. But how could he give up so easily?
"Don't I have any chance at all? Feng Xingzhi, if you're a man, fight me!"
Yu Mingyi's provocation didn't cause the slightest change in Feng Xingzhi. He just looked at him coldly.
Ji Yunxi was already a bit annoyed. Or rather, she was already obsessed with the idea of marrying Feng Xingzhi. Whoever tried to disrupt their marriage at this moment was the worst person in the world.
Yu Mingyi didn't know at all that he had already made Ji Yunxi extremely disgusted. He said, "If I win, I'll take Ji Yunxi away. If I lose, I'll never pester her again."
Feng Xingzhi thought Yu Mingyi was daydreaming and didn't want to agree at all. Ji Yunxi had nothing to do with him at all. Why should he give him a chance to fight?
He was about to start beating this man directly, and his eyes were getting colder and colder.
Ji Yunxi knew what Feng Xingzhi was thinking. It was not appropriate to make a hasty move in the city, so she wanted to step forward to stop them and talk some sense into Yu Mingyi.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Li Jiuge who came in a hurry. She said seriously, "Yunxi, don't stop them. If this trouble isn't solved, it will be a disaster sooner or later. This Yu Mingyi never considered you at all and even embarrassed you. Why should you save his face?"
Ji Yunxi thought it made sense and withdrew her hand. After all, Feng Xingzhi would surely not lose, so she winked at Feng Xingzhi, and Feng Xingzhi understood her meaning and kept silent.
Li Jiuge rolled her eyes and said, "Since you've said so, we can give you a chance. But if you lose, don't pester her anymore. If you win, then ask Ji Yunxi's opinion. If she's willing to go with you, she can; if not, there's nothing we can do."
This condition was not very favorable. Yu Mingyi knew very well that Ji Yunxi wouldn't go with him. But then he thought that now he, Yu Mingyi, had the divine power of Jiang Yaoji and could forcefully take Ji Yunxi away.
His eyes darkened, and Yu Mingyi agreed.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Ji Yuchen ordered someone to set up a martial - arts arena, and everyone in the mansion came to watch the battle.
Yu Mingyi jumped onto the arena first. Ji Yunxi held Feng Xingzhi's hand. "Azhi, don't think too much. Whether you win or lose, I won't go with him."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "I know, but I'll make sure he can never bother you again!"
After saying that, he also stepped onto the arena, with nothing but disdain for Yu Mingyi in his heart and eyes.
Really loving someone means not expressing your love willfully and embarrassing the other person.
Yu Mingyi knew in his heart that if it were just his own ability, he would surely be no match for Feng Xingzhi. But with the divine power of Jiang Yaoji, it would be different. He still had a chance to fight.
Both of them drew their swords, and the momentum suddenly soared.
Lu Shu stood under the arena, a bit anxious, constantly scolding Yu Mingyi for causing trouble.
Qing Xuandao was more steady and comforted him. "Come on, nothing will happen to your master. It's definitely okay. Why are you so nervous?"
Lu Shu knew that his master would not lose, but he still felt nervous.
Ji Yunxi was also very nervous. Her eyes were fixed on Yu Mingyi's movements. She was worried that Yu Mingyi would play some dirty tricks, but she also had confidence in Feng Xingzhi.
