Chapter 1454 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
Even the distant Baiyuan Villa knew the news that Shi Li was going to hold a martial arts competition to win a bride, and the people nearby naturally knew it even earlier.
The men who had some kung fu skills were all rubbing their hands, eager to try.
Among them are many escort masters from other escort agencies.
These burly escorts were fully prepared to go on stage. They looked down on women in their hearts and never took Shi Li seriously. They just thought that she had everything she had today because of her good interpersonal skills and good luck.
What's worse, some people even suspected that she had used dirty tricks to make the entire Wenchang Escort Agency obey her orders.
Shi Li didn't take the rumors outside to heart at all.
She was impatient to spend more time on this matter, so she just set the date for the martial arts competition to be held five days later. In her opinion, it was just a formality.
But Xu Zhenzhen was very anxious.
After realizing that Shi Li was really Shi Li, her attitude suddenly changed.
From the beginning "I want to see who has stolen my cousin's soul", it turned into "Lili is so good, my cousin has a hard time."
"Five days... My cousin has to rush here day and night, otherwise the competition will be over by the time he gets here!"
Xu Zhenzhen was so anxious in the inn that she ordered the guards to send three letters to Baiyuan Villa, for fear that Luo Qingyan would not receive the letters.
The maid who arrived later was very puzzled and asked, "Miss, are you trying to match the young master with someone else?"
"That's no one else!"
Xu Zhenzhen glared at the maid, recalling the time when Shi Li saved her life on the street, and her face flushed with excitement. "Li Li is so nice, I would like her too. If she can be with my cousin, I will be able to get the upper hand in the future."
The maid stood there in a daze, not knowing what to feel.
She didn't understand that if this situation occurred in later generations, we would generally call it a CPU burn.
But some girls are just so innocent and cute that it’s easy to tell whether they like you or not.
Five days passed in a flash, and the day of the martial arts competition to win a bride soon arrived.
The people at the Wenchang Escort Agency thought that this was a big happy event concerning their eldest daughter, so they got up early and set up a spacious arena in front of the agency. By dawn, the arena was already set up.
In such a peaceful and prosperous era, people who heard the news came to watch one after another. Before the competition officially started, the arena was already surrounded by people.
Seeing such a grand occasion, Shi Li was immediately shocked when he walked out of the escort agency door.
"Oh!!!"
When the sharp-eyed people saw her coming out, they cheered and applauded in unison.
There were even some vendors who saw business opportunities and started selling melon seeds and fruits among the crowd. The scene was very busy and lively.
Shi Li pressed her head speechlessly and sat down beside him with her head down.
Upon seeing this, the escort who was in charge of hosting this martial arts competition to win the bride was the first to step onto the competition stage.
"Everyone! Today our eldest lady is having a martial arts competition to find a husband. Anyone who wants to come up, come up!"
The one who presided over the martial arts competition to win the bride was an escort from the Wenchang Escort Agency. He had watched the original owner grow up since she was a child. At this moment, he was smiling happily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The people around him cooperated with him and applauded and cheered.
"I come!"
Someone in the crowd responded immediately. A deep voice sounded, and a man with greasy clothes and a face full of flesh was the first to step onto the arena.
Shi Li took a glance and recognized him as the butcher who slaughtered pigs and sold meat two streets away.
[How should I put it...it's hard to comment~]
[Although, I feel like laughing. What’s going on? ]
[The anchor is so miserable hahaha~]
Shi Li sighed inwardly.
It's not occupational discrimination, but she would never marry a man like this even if she was beaten to death.
Of course, a second man immediately stood up. Judging from his attire, he should be a bodyguard from another escort agency. Before going on stage, he even bowed in Shi Li's direction.
Shi Li was not interested, so she lowered her head, picked up the teacup and pretended not to see it.
It was not known whether it was because of her status or the 12,000 taels of silver she earned that made people salivate, but there were countless men who wanted to challenge her on stage, and they kept coming like a stream until noon.
The sun was high in the sky, and Shi Li had already finished a pot of tea out of boredom. She immediately announced a break because she had to go back to eat.
The two people on the stage were fighting vigorously. Upon hearing this, they looked at each other and snorted in displeasure at each other.
"Miss Shi, go and have a rest. I'll guard the ring for you for a while."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Shi Li turned her head and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
