"Greetings, City Master."

"Greetings, City Master."

Countless onlookers saluted one after another in the square, gathering to form a vast and resounding sound wave that lingered above the square for a long time.

A heroic middle-aged man and a beautiful young girl were particularly eye-catching. Everywhere they passed, there were citizens of the Stone City bowing respectfully to them, which showed that they had an extraordinary status in the entire Stone City.

Du Shaofu raised his head and looked over. It was the City Master, Ye Baolin.

The girl behind him was Ye Zijin. With her fair skin and delicate face, even though she was a few years younger than Qin Xiaolu and Bai Caiyi, her temperament was still much better than the two of them.

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Ye Baolin walked all the way to the front of the square, and along the way, he indicated to the citizens of Stone City that there was no need to be overly courteous.

"Greetings, City Master."

The experts of Du Family, Qin Family, Han Family, and Bai Family all stood up to pay their respects.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite."

Ye Baolin smiled, waved his hand to indicate everyone that there was no need to be overly courteous, and then took the lead to sit in the center. His humble manner naturally made everyone respect him.

"Shaofu, long time no see."

Under the envious gazes of many people, Ye Zijin stood beside Du Shaofu and gave a graceful smile, causing many of the young men to stare foolishly.

Originally, Bai Caiyi and Qin Xiaolu were considered absolute beauties, but now, with Ye Zijin's appearance, the former two girls couldn't help but pale in comparison.

"Not long."

Looking at the gazes from around people that could kill him, Du Shaofu couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He clearly knew that the little girl in front of him had come here on purpose to draw him hatred, but he could do nothing.

Ye Zijin stood closer to Du Shaofu, almost sticking on Du Shaofu's chest. She smiled with a perfect arc on the corner of her mouth as she nodded her head, then she softly said: "I heard that someone purposely caused trouble for you a few days ago, so it seems like there will be a lot of trouble for you today, but my Ye Family is definitely in the same boat with you.

As Ye Zijin stood in front of Du Shaofu with such intimacy, the gazes from the around people became even more furious.

In the great families, many of the young people were already rubbing their hands to fight against the same enemy, planning to teach this Du Shaofu a lesson later.

Even the experts of these great families were looking at Du Shaofu with deep meaning.

Although Du Hao, Du Chong, Du Yan and the others were standing behind Du Shaofu, they were also looking at him enviously.

No matter how hard they tried, they could not understand why a ten-year old fool would suddenly have such a drastic change and be able to hold them firmly under his feet. Most importantly, even Ye Zijin's heart seemed to have set on that fellow.

In terms of strength, Du Hao, Du Chong and the rest were very clear that their strength was not as strong as Du Shaofu's. But in terms of handsomeness, they felt that they were stronger than Du Shaofu by a few points.

"Since Miss Ye likes it, then I think it's necessary for me to cooperate with you. Do you think so?"

A fake smile suddenly appeared on Du Shaofu's face. As his soft voice fell, he suddenly took a step forward and stuck close to Ye Zijin. Taking advantage of the moment, he moved his right arm and landed it on Ye Zijin's slender and delicate waist.

As they stuck so closely together, Du Shaofu could feel two soft spots were tightly pressed against his body. This made Du Shaofu who was leaning on a woman so closely for the first time quiver, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Ye Zijin was instantly stunned. She never thought that Du Shaofu would actually act so boldly in public in front of all these people of the entire Stone City. Her heart trembled, and she entirely went stunned for a moment as a scarlet blush crept up her cheeks.

At this moment, the countless youths in the square were all staring at them, who were tightly hugging each other. Their eyes were sluggish, and turned bloodshot.

The girl that no one could touch in the entire city was currently being embraced by that youth. It was obvious that the crowd of people were feeling extremely envious.

The people of these great families were stunned, so could the rumors be true? Even Ye Baolin and the experts of the Ye Family were stunned.

"This brat knows how to take advantage of a girl."

Only Du Zhenwu and Du Zhixiong looked at each other in surprise, then revealed a faint smile, and secretly laughed in their hearts.

Amongst the crowd, Han Long and Cao Qitai looked at the two who were sticking close to each other, a chill swept past their eyes, and for some reason, their faces became gloomy, but they quickly regained their composure.

It was just that the gloominess on Cao Qitai's face had receded much faster than Han Long's.

"The competiton is about to begin. I hope you can stand until the end."

The scarlet blush on her face quietly faded as Ye Zijin regained her senses in a short amount of time. Her graceful body moved slightly to the right, and her delicate waist that could not even be gripped tightly left Du Shaofu's right wrist.

Ye Zijin pursed her red lips and laughed, the look in her eyes became unchanging once again. Her eyes shook slightly, and raised her head to look at Du Shaofu again, and a profound look in her eyes as she said: "Later, my Ye Family will help you deal with one of these families, and the other two families will depend on youself."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with graceful steps.

"Everyone, it's about time. Let's begin."

Ye Baolin said softly, as though he did not see this scene, but his gaze had indeed, intentionally or unintentionally, swept across Du Shaofu.

"Whoosh!"

As Ye Baolin's voice fell, the figure of a long-robed old man of Ye Family suddenly leapt off the ground. Like a hawk spreading its wings, he soared into the sky, then lightly landed on the circled area in the center of the square.

"Alright!"

As the old man landed, this beautiful movement technique naturally won cheers from the people of the entire square.

The old man looked at the people in the square and nodded slightly, then said loudly: "This competition, which held every three years for the young generation of the five great families, is a grand activity of the Stone City, as it represents the rise of the young experts of our Stone City. Right now, all the participants from the five great families please come up."

"All of you, go up."

The expressions of Ye Baolin, Han Qingsong, Qin Zongqiong, Bai Jiru, and the rest seniors all changed slightly as they looked at the juniors behind them and spoke softly to these juniors who were already eager to give a try.

"Yes."

The juniors of these families nodded their heads, and at the same time, Ye Zijin took a lead. The Profound Qi beneath her feet surged before she flew into the air. Her graceful and delicate body was like a duckweed crossing the sea, yet also like an autumn leaf as she lightly landed on the square. She was graceful, noble, a little cold and quite impressive.

Bai Caiyi slightly moved her eyes. Her long skirt fluttered, and a burst of Profound Qi suddenly surged out. Her graceful body was like a fairy, directly fly into the air, and then gracefully landed the place not far away from Ye Zijin, causing the eyes of all the people in the square to light up.

Qin Xiaolu followed tightly. The Profound Qi beneath her feet surged out like a vortex, and borrowing the force of the eruption of her Profound Qi, her graceful body spun a few rounds in midair like a spinning top, and finally landed not far from Bai Caiyi.

Qin Xiaolu obviously did not want to lose to Ye Zijin and Bai Caiyi. Indeed, her way of showing up was cool and beautiful.

"Alright!"

As the three girls landed, their beautiful figures suddenly caused cheers to resound above the square.
