Chapter 251 It's Wonderful Whether You're a Man or a Woman
Yun Fuzhao and his group hurried as fast as they could and finally arrived at Ju'an Square.
All the prominent families will gather here.
Because of Hu Chengcai, they were delayed for a long time, and by the time they arrived at the scene, the other aristocratic families had already arrived.
The Tian Shu Pavilion disciple in charge of leading this team was a woman dressed in light yellow. When she was taking stock of the aristocratic families present, she noticed the nameless family sneaking in, and her expression darkened.
In front of everyone, she addressed the members of the nameless family: "Don't you know today is the Grand Family Competition? Why are you late? Even if you have no chance of winning, shouldn't you at least show some respect for the competition?"
All the other aristocratic families turned their gazes toward them.
His gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at some lowly, inferior person.
Yun Fuzhao had long known that discrimination among the aristocratic families in the Northern Continent was severe, and after experiencing this today, he had a real understanding of it.
Xun Liu was about to explain when Yun Fuzhao stopped her. She shook her head and replied to the woman, "I'm sorry, it was our fault."
The competition hasn't even started yet, there's no need for unnecessary arguments, it's exhausting.
Moreover, their family was the one who was late in the first place, so they have no right to complain.
Seeing that his attitude was fairly good, the woman in yellow didn't say anything more.
Yun Fuzhao glanced at Hu Chengcai, who was being held captive by Bu Xiuwei. This guy was quite noisy; it would be better to wait until they entered the Void Sea before lifting the restrictions on him.
Soon, the woman in yellow began to announce the rules and regulations for the competition.
As Yun Fuzhao was listening, he suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him.
She turned her head to look, and Yu Nian'er's thoughtful gaze fell on her.
She's dressed as a man, how could she possibly recognize her?
However, Yu Nian'er quickly looked away.
Yun Fuzhao didn't pay any attention and continued listening to the lecture.
"This is your inner fire," the woman in yellow said, taking out a small, transparent bead. She exhaled, and a small cluster of orange-red flame ignited within it. "In the Sea of Illusion, you must protect your inner fire. It will extinguish in three days. If the time limit is exceeded, even if your inner fire is not stolen, it will still be considered a failure..."
The man in yellow raised his hand, and the disciples behind him carried trays to the front of the group of disciples.
Everyone receives their own inner fire.
Yun Fuzhao stared at the small bead in his hand. This thing would only start burning after entering the Sea of Illusion.
It's so small, it might get lost on the way.
Thinking of this, Yun Fuzhao took out a glass bottle, put the beads in it, and then hung it around her neck.
She observed the others and discovered that everyone hid their inner fire in different ways.
After explaining the precautions, the woman drew an array in the air, and soon a huge teleportation array appeared on the ground.
In the Northern Continent, array masters are a rare breed, especially one who could casually draw an array capable of teleporting so many people. Some disciples from aristocratic families cast envious glances at the woman in yellow.
The members of the nameless family, who were unfamiliar with the world, exclaimed "Wow!"
Xun Liu looked at Yun Fuzhao, "Yun Chao, can you draw it?"
Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to answer, a slightly mocking male voice came from behind him, "I'll eat shit if he can draw it."
Yun Fuzhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a stranger.
However, the totem on his robe revealed his identity as a member of the Gongsun family.
One of the most influential families in the Northern Continent.
Yun Fuzhao replied with a smile, "Little glutton."
Gongsun Le was clearly still not convinced. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Yuchi Gong sneered mercilessly, "If you want to eat, just eat. Why do you have to say so much nonsense?"
After being reminded of this, Gongsun Le understood, and his expression immediately changed. "How dare you say such a thing to me? Do you have a death wish?"
Seeing that he was about to make a move, Yun Fuzhao immediately raised his hand and said to the woman in yellow standing on the platform, "Sister, he's going to bully me."
Gongsun Le: "..."
The woman in yellow glanced at Gongsun Le, who was about to make a move, and then at Yun Fuzhao, who looked extremely aggrieved.
She was clearly speechless, but she still spoke up: "Disciples of all the great families, please prepare to step into the formation and do not do anything irrelevant."
Tian Shu Pavilion is a neutral faction, and they will not show any favoritism even to the Gongsun family.
Hearing her say that, Gongsun Le could only suppress his anger. He glared fiercely at Yun Fuzhao and threatened in a low voice, "You'll be sorry later."
After saying that, he walked towards his family's ancestral home.
Yun Fuzhao was baffled. They had never met before, so why was this person so hostile towards him?
Yuchi Gong leaned closer to her and whispered, "That guy likes Yu Zhiyue. Her leaving the Yu family caused quite a stir. Everyone's saying she eloped with you."
Yun Fuzhao almost choked on his own saliva. Elopement? Who? Her?
Yan has a point; after all, her male disguise is quite convincing.
Sigh, what a face that's captivating whether you're a man or a woman.
Following the order of arrival, all the noble families lined up and entered the teleportation array one by one.
The nameless family was the last one.
Yun Fuzhao instructed the people behind him, "When we enter the Sea of Illusion, let's not get separated."
This competition tests teamwork. If someone gets separated from the team, not only will the team be missing one member, but they will also be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers during a standoff.
The group nodded in unison.
Yun Fuzhao glanced at Hu Chengcai and released his seal before going inside.
Just as Hu Chengcai was about to unleash a torrent of curses, the light of the array instantly engulfed him.
"Yun Zhao, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was frozen shut by frost.
Yun Fuzhao glanced around at the surroundings. Towering trees, blocking out the sky, broke through the ice, but instead of leaves, they grew clusters of burning, eerie blue flames.
From a distance, it looks like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Yu Zhiyue shivered. "So cold..."
They were teleported to a location far from those strange trees, and the most immediate feeling they experienced while standing there was the cold.
Yun Fuzhao took out a rectangle from his storage bag and distributed it to them.
Xun Liu curiously held the object in her hand. "What is this? It's scalding hot."
"I call it a hand warmer."
It's still the invincible version produced by the system.
Given the scarcity of spiritual energy here, Yun Fuzhao would definitely need to think of something that could provide warmth without requiring the circulation of spiritual energy.
Hand warmers are a good option.
Holding this thing, the chill on Hu Chengcai's body was dispelled.
He stuffed the thing into his clothes; it was so cold that he didn't even want to open his mouth, and he couldn't even bother cursing Yun Fuzhao.
"Fortunately, it's just us here."
Yun Fuzhao glanced around. The Void Sea was vast, and all the noble families were scattered to different areas.
They were too conspicuous standing on the ice, so they had to play it safe for the time being.
She made a quick decision: "Let's head into the jungle."
