Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 566 Who is the heartthrob of the number one beauty in the martial arts alliance?

Time flies like water, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the area in front of Zixiao Temple was already bustling with noise and clamor.

At the foot of the broad mountain, martial arts practitioners from all over the country gathered in dense crowds. Banners of various colors fluttered in the wind, red, yellow, and black, embroidered with swords, tigers, eagles and other patterns. At a glance, it was quite a lively scene.

The glint of swords flashed in the sunlight, and the air was filled with restlessness and anticipation, along with a faint smell of gunpowder.

On one side of the gate, five registration desks were set up, where disciples of Zixiao Temple, dressed in uniform Taoist robes, were methodically recording the information of the sects that came to participate in the martial arts conference.

Some people lined up in a long queue in front of the counter, standing on tiptoe to urge others on, constantly chanting the name of their sect, afraid of falling behind.

Meanwhile, others who had already registered and received their wooden number plates gathered together and chatted idly, mostly grumbling and complaining.

"I really don't know what the Zixiao Temple is thinking!"

A burly man with a face full of scars weighed the license plate in his hand, which was engraved with the words "Kuaifengmen," spat it out, and complained in a rough voice.

"You have to register by sect to participate! There can only be one leader of the martial arts alliance, what's the point of all these fancy sect titles? Whoever has the strongest fist is still the boss!"

"That's it!"

A short, stout man next to him immediately chimed in, his face full of resentment.

"I used to hear that a sect only needed three people to register, but now, they've changed it to five! This means our newly formed 'Quick Blade Sect' is short two people. We had no choice but to merge with the brothers from the neighboring 'Black Wind Stronghold' to form a half-baked 'Quick Wind Sect' just to barely pass the test! It's such a hassle!"

"The fact that a sect has been established is good enough, but what's most hateful is the accommodation arrangement!"

A man with a scar on his face and one blind eye squeezed in and spoke in a sinister tone.

"Damn it, I heard that the top three sects, the middle six sects, and the lower nine gangs, those well-known sects, can go directly up the mountain and stay in comfortable rooms in the Zixiao Temple. But when it comes to us little sects with no reputation, we are only fit to pitch tents at the foot of the mountain, drink the northwest wind, and suffer from the sun and rain! Isn't this just treating people differently based on their status?"

A tall, thin man next to him, upon hearing this, jokingly teased him.

"One-Eyed Dragon, you want to live in Zixiao Temple? That's easy! Go and snatch the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader! Once you become the leader, not only Zixiao Temple, but the entire territory of the Martial Arts Alliance, you can live wherever you want and sleep in whichever bed you want! Maybe even the meditation cushion of the Immortal Master Yinian can be made available for you!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately erupted around them. The one-eyed man was so embarrassed that his face turned red and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was speechless and could only mutter angrily, "You just wait."

Just then, a sudden commotion arose in the crowd, and the originally crowded throng parted automatically like a tide to create a passage.

Then, a group of female disciples from Suxian Palace gracefully arrived. They were dressed in the same Moon Palace gowns, with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the hems of their skirts. As they walked, their clothes fluttered, and the silver ornaments in their hair jingled. They were like a group of fairies descending to earth, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

Standing at the very front were Su Ling Shuang, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, and Su Ling Bing, who had returned to women's clothing.

Su Ling Shuang wore a moon-white long dress, her black hair was tied up high, and she wore only a white jade hairpin. Her face was as cold as the snow on Kunlun Mountain, and her eyes were distant but could not hide her stunning beauty.

Su Lingbing wore a crimson dress, her long hair loosely tied up, with a pearl flower tucked behind her ear. Her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and her smile was bright, like a burning flame, which contrasted sharply with Su Lingshuang's coldness.

The men who had just been complaining about unfair accommodations and harsh rules were now staring wide-eyed, many of them swallowing hard and following the two stunningly beautiful figures with fascination.

"Tsk tsk, these sisters, Su Ling Shuang and Su Ling Bing, truly have the word 'exquisite beauty' etched into their very bones!"

Whispers resumed, even louder than before.

"One is as aloof as frost, the other as alluring as fire. If I could win the favor of either of them, I would be willing to give up ten years of my life!"

A burly man with a full beard rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Yes, yes! That Physician Lu from Forget-Worry Valley is truly blessed. I heard he was engaged to Su Ling Shuang in his early years. To be favored by such a beauty is truly enviable!"

Another pale-faced scholar sighed, his tone filled with envy.

"Hey buddy, your information is so outdated!"

A man in shorts immediately chimed in, his voice low but unable to hide his excitement at sharing the secret.

"I heard it from the innkeeper near Suxian Palace. Lu Wangyou and Su Lingshuang's marriage was called off a long time ago! It seems that Su Lingshuang had someone else in her heart and took a fancy to another man, so she took the initiative to cancel the marriage!"

"What? This happened?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued, and they all gathered around.

"Which man possesses such charm that he could make Su Ling Shuang abandon a promising young talent like Doctor Lu?"

Some people couldn't help but ask questions out of curiosity.

"Who knows! Maybe it's the young master of one of the three upper sects, or some unparalleled master who is hiding his true abilities?"

Just as everyone was discussing and speculating, Su Ling Shuang's cold gaze carefully searched through the crowd, as if looking for someone extremely important.

She paid no attention to the surrounding noise and the infatuated gazes. Her focus made everyone present hold their breath, wanting to see who could be so attentive to her.
