Chapter 481 Fighting Competition
After hearing what Kong said, Paimeng nodded in agreement. "That ship seems to have arrived in Liyue and is holding a grand competition in Guiliyuan. I heard the rewards are quite generous. Let's go and take a look." Paimeng turned around excitedly in the air. Her eyes lit up when she thought of the generous rewards she might get. For Paimeng, generous rewards are always attractive.
After hearing what Paimon said, Kong nodded his head without hesitation. Although he didn't know why the captain of the ship wanted to hold such a competition, it gave them ample time to react. After all, a grand competition would take a long time to complete. Kong was of course somewhat interested.
"In that case, let's set off quickly. As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more trouble we have. In any case, the key is to find that captain and get the boat ticket." Seeing that the two were still thinking, Lin Feng couldn't help but remind them. Lin Feng knew the importance of the boat ticket. If they missed the boat, they didn't know when they would be able to go to Inazuma. He was worried that the longer the night, the more trouble they would have, so he urged everyone to act as soon as possible.
After listening to what Lin Feng said, the two nodded in unison as if they were in sync.
"That makes sense. We'd better take the lead and get the subpoena, otherwise it will be troublesome if we don't have a boat ticket. Although not many people are going to Inazuma now, we still have to prepare for it." Paimeng spoke first.
Paimeng also knew the importance of the boat ticket. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know when she would be able to go to Inazuma. She didn't want to delay everyone's trip because of a momentary negligence.
After hearing Paimeng's words, the three of them set off towards Guiliyuan together. Along the way, the sun shone on them, and the flowers and plants on the roadside swayed in the wind, as if blessing their journey. The mountains in the distance were rolling, contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds, forming a beautiful picture. The breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy. However, they all had expectations and nervousness in their hearts, not knowing what the scene of the competition waiting for them would be like.
"I don't know what the martial arts competition is, but it sounds like a fierce fighting competition." Paimong expressed her doubts when approaching Guiliyuan. Various fierce fighting scenes emerged in Paimong's mind. She was both excited and a little worried. She didn't know what the rules and challenges of this competition would be. She imagined the scene of the contestants fighting fiercely on the field. She was excited but also a little nervous. She didn't know whether Kong could stand out in this competition and get a ticket to Inazuma.
After listening to Paimeng's words, Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "It must be a fight, but I don't know what form it will take. Maybe it will be a one-on-one contest, maybe a team battle, or maybe there will be some special rules."
After listening to what Lin Feng said, Paimeng scratched his head. His little head seemed to be tangled with messy threads, and he had no idea how to sort them out. He closed his eyes tightly, frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and tried hard to think, but those thoughts were like naughty elves, jumping up and down in his mind, and he couldn't catch them. After thinking hard for a while, Paimeng finally gave up helplessly and sighed heavily. He really couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know. I can't figure it out. Since we're already here, why don't we just go over and take a look and find out what's going on?" Paimon said, waving his hands vigorously in the air. His eyes were wide open, and there was an eager look in his eyes, as if he wanted to run to the fighting venue right away to find out what was going on.
After listening to what Paimon said, Kong nodded in agreement, "It's useless to think about it here, let's go there and take a look." Kong's eyes were calm and decisive, and his deep eyes were like the twinkling stars in the night sky, firm and bright. He pursed his lips slightly, with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, showing his inner determination.
He knew that instead of endlessly worrying and guessing here, it would be better to go directly to the destination and resolve the doubts in his heart with his own eyes.
Several people walked towards the fighting venue. The streets were bustling with people, coming and going, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.
The sounds of people talking and laughing intertwined, and it sounded very lively. From time to time, there were discussions about the martial arts competition. "I heard that the scale of the Southern Cross Martial Arts Competition this time is very large, and many masters are coming to participate!" A sturdy man said loudly, his face flushed with excitement, and his eyes flashed with anticipation. "Yes, I wonder who will come out on top in this competition with so many masters." A thin young man next to him echoed, his eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and curiosity, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. These words kept coming into the ears of several people, making them more excited about the martial arts competition venue they were about to arrive at, and their pace unconsciously quickened.
When they found the venue of the martial arts competition, they found that it had not yet started, as if it was still in the registration stage. There were rows of temporary tents built around the venue. The tents were colorful and looked particularly eye-catching under the sunlight. People were busy shuttling between them. Some held pens in their hands and filled out registration forms with a focused look; others gathered together, exchanging ideas with each other, and the sound of fists and feet was raised. Looking at the scene in front of them, several people couldn't help but feel doubtful, wondering if they had come too early. Paimon tilted his head, his eyes rolling, and muttered softly: "Why hasn't it started yet? Are we really here too early?" Sora frowned slightly, scanning the surroundings, trying to find some clues from the crowd.
"Well... where is your captain? We have something to discuss with him." Paimon raised his head and asked loudly to the people around him. His voice was clear and loud, and it spread far in the noisy crowd. But the people around just glanced at them and continued to do their own things. No one paid attention to Paimon's question.
They looked around and saw that the crowd was full of ordinary people wearing different clothes, including laborers wearing coarse linen clothes, rich children wearing gorgeous clothes, and warriors wearing light and powerful clothes, but no one was wearing special clothes. It seemed difficult to find the captain directly. In desperation, they could only find a staff member to ask.
