Chapter 160 – 160. Friendly Competition
Regarding that, perhaps she could look for complete information about the competition that would be held within the Zu royal palace.
Fu Xie Lan then entered a shop, followed by Gu Yi and the others.
Gu Yi accidentally caught two grown men who followed Fu Xie Lan wherever they went.
"Who are they, Queen?" Gu Yi asked with his eyes fixed on the two men walking behind Wan Lie and Xue Ning.
Slightly frowning at the man's question, Fu Xie Lan then followed Gu Yi's gaze.
"Oh, they are Qiao and Lim."
"You know them?" asked Gu Yi
"They are Hunters. Ahh, it's a long story," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"I don't like you being surrounded by men, Queen," Gu Yi said honestly to Fu Xie Lan, and that brought a blush on her cheeks again.
The girl didn't respond, and instead, she remained silent.
Gu Yi who saw Fu Xie Lan didn't want to respond too far sighed. Even though he had not been with the girl for only a few days, and two strange men were again hooked up by the girl. If this continues, how can he calm down?
"Queen, whoever the men are with you. You can only think of me," Gu Yi whispered right in Fu Xie Lan's ear. The heat from his breath managed to cause a strange tingle in the girl's body.
Fu Xie Lan didn't respond and just pretended as if she didn't hear the whisper at all.
"All of you. choose clothes that fit your body," said Fu Xie Lan turning to the back where Wan Lie and the others were.
"Why all of a sudden, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked a little closer to the girl.
"Just choose, you too Xue Ning. You two too," said Fu Xie Lan.
"We will enter the royal palace," she added.
"Then pick one for me, Xie Lan," said Wan Lie with a smile plastered on his lips.
"No, I refuse," Gu Yi snarled immediately.
"But I asked Xie Lan for it," Wan Lie replied.
"Not to you, Dad," he added quietly, and only the movement of his mouth could be seen from his lips.
"No. She is my Queen, and only I have the right," Gu Yi replied as if he understood the words on Wan Lie's lips.
Hearing this, Wan Lie's expression turned gloomy. 'Why is my Daddy so greedy? Even though I also have rights over Mom.' A harsh sigh escaped the Lord's son's lips.
Xue Ning and Ju Xian were already busy picking out their clothes, pretending as if they didn't hear the two men's conversation. in the minds of the two of them, it seemed that Wan Lie and Gu Yi had the same feelings towards Fu Xie Lan. The feeling of liking between two men for the same person.
The difference was, what was in Ju Xian's mind was very different from what Xue Ning thought. In the man's mind were Wan Lie and Gu Yi liking the same man.
The same was imprinted in Qiao and Lim's mind.
Seeing Wan Lie and Gu Yi's behavior, Fu Xie Lan ignored them and started to walk away from the two of them.
"Wait, honey," Gu Yi immediately followed.
"Remember, I'm Fu Xie Lan's husband," he added, turning his head towards Wan Lie for a moment and then walking away, immediately following Fu Xie Lan.
According to Fu Xie Lan's instructions, they all chose the clothes they would wear.
Actually, before finding the scroll in her trouser pocket, Fu Xie Lan did intend to stop by a fabric shop or something for Qiao and Lim. The clothes they were both wearings were thinning and slightly transparent, some threads from the ends of their clothes seemed to be hanging loose. Not to mention, their clothes got a little splash of food in the tavern just now because of that noble.
Let's just say, Fu Xie Lan was being kind to them.
"Thank you, Master," said Qiao and Lim. To be honest, the two of them still don't believe that someone they just met cares about both of them. The chief hunter, Qian Cheng, had never treated them like this.
Receiving such treatment, both Qiao and Lim, both instilled in their hearts to serve Fu Xie Lan, yes even if no words came out of the mouths of the two, they would follow Xie Lan wherever she went.
Even the two of them were willing to become slaves if Fu Xie Lan wanted to.
Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan didn't realize that the little treatment she gave Xue Ning, Ju Xian, Qiao, and Lim would make her a special person in their hearts.
"Thank you, Master," said the merchant to Fu Xie Lan as she handed over the item the girl had just paid off.
"May I ask you something, Auntie?" asked Fu Xie Lan to the middle-aged female merchant who served them a moment ago.
"What is that?"
"Did you hear news about the competition that will be held at the palace?"
"Oh that, why? Is this Master interested in registering?"
"No, I just overheard some people's conversations. But it's not very clear with that," said Fu Xie Lan later.
Those who heard Fu Xie Lan's question had also previously known about it because the conversations of several people they met on the street discussed the same thing that Fu Xie Lan had asked.
"It's an annual competition." replied the middle-aged woman.
"Every three years, several neighboring kingdoms will conduct a friendly competition. It is said to strengthen the ties of brotherhood," she added.
"Recently there was news circulating that this time's competition, the Zu Kingdom got its turn as the host for the first time," said the woman again.
Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan finally understood, Why couldn't she find the memories of the previous body owner regarding the competition.
"Do you know when the registration will open?" asked Fu Xie Lan after a few seconds of silence.
"For that matter, I don't know. Maybe you can see the full information on the bulletin board displayed in front of the palace gate."
"Okay thank you."
The female merchant just nodded in response.

"How about the competition this time? I'm a little nervous."
"Relax, don't be so tense."
"Master Xin's students will join again this time. You know how skilled they are. Just looking at them makes me guess what the outcome of this competition will be,"
"If the old man was still around, I might as well have joined him."
That was roughly the conversation that returned to Fu Xie Lan and the others' ears.
The girl's brow furrowed again. 'Master Xin?' Fu Xie Lan suddenly remembered Grandpa Xin in the forest of the Zu kingdom.
Are they talking about the same person? Or just a coincidence?
