"Well, that's just great... You actually dared to steal from me? Are you tired of living?"

Qin Tian stood there covering his face with a wry smile, wondering why the girl who bumped into him felt so light. Turns out it was intentional! It was her trick for stealing!

No wonder he had stepped aside, yet the girl deliberately bumped into him. Damn, she really came with the intention of stealing Qin Tian's stuff!

Qin Tian shook his head, "Dare to steal from me, just you wait... Damn it, I'm having bad luck right out of the gate; getting my stuff stolen as soon as I leave. If word gets out, I'd be so embarrassed to even bring my face back to earth..."

Qin Tian patted himself; luckily, he still had his other storage bag. The one that the girl in white stole was the storage bag that Qin Tian won at the Three Veins Martial Arts Contest. It contained a lot of High Grade Spirit Stones, Mid Grade Spirit Stones, and even an alchemy cauldron—all of which could be worth billions if converted to gold!

"If I don't get my things back, I'll take your last name!"

Qin Tian paid the bill and chased in the direction where the girl in white had fled.

But by then, those people had long since disappeared without a trace, and Qin Tian could not see any sign of them.

"Martial arts contest for bride selection!"

"There's a martial arts contest for bride selection over there, haha, let's try our luck!"

"Let's go see the commotion; hurry, I heard this time it's the Yang family holding a martial arts contest for bride selection. Could it be for their eldest daughter?"

"Wow, if it's really the eldest daughter of the Yang family, we wouldn't stand a chance against her. I've heard she's beautiful, but we're just nobodies. Let's go purely to watch the excitement!"

A crowd of people near Qin Tian excitedly walked forward.

"A martial arts contest for bride selection? Haha, interesting, isn't that plot from TV dramas? Let's go take a look!"

Unable to find a trace of the girl in white, Qin Tian, driven by curiosity, also followed the crowd towards the noisy scene.

The Yang Family of East Sea City was a well-known large family. Although not the most famous, in the eyes of the common people, they were wealthy and powerful.

At this moment, the Yang family was indeed holding a martial arts contest for bride selection.

The location of the contest was at the entrance of the Yang family courtyard. A temporary stage had been set up, with a man and a woman standing on it.

The man was an old fellow in his fifties, looking full of energy.

Beside him stood a woman in Qingyi attire, about 1.7 meters tall. Standing on the stage, she exuded a heroic spirit.

However, at this moment, the Qingyi woman wore a blue veil, so one could only see her long hair tied up but could not clearly make out her appearance.

However, from her eyes and facial contour, Qin Tian could tell she was an attractive girl.

"Ah, it really is the Yang family's eldest daughter who is almost thirty and still unmarried. Tsk tsk, Old Master Yang must be unable to hold back anymore, organizing a martial arts contest for bride selection?"

"Isn't it so? I heard that this eldest daughter, Yang Jingyun, is the cultivation enlightenment teacher for the city lord mansion's princesses and also a student of East Han Academy. Tsk tsk, with such a background, what common man would dare to marry her?"

Hearing two people whispering nearby, Qin Tian quickly asked, "Brother, let me ask, does the Yang family only have this one daughter?"

"Of course not, the Yang family has three daughters and no sons. But the other two younger daughters don't practice martial arts, studying music, chess, calligraphy, and embroidery since childhood and were married off before turning twenty, leaving only this eldest daughter who's almost thirty... Haha, insists on practicing martial arts and won't marry an average man..."

While the man next to Qin Tian was explaining, Old Master Yang on the stage had already begun his opening remarks. The gist was simple; as the Qixi Festival approached, his eldest daughter finally agreed to find a husband but only wanted someone stronger than her. Any heroes down below, who dares to step up? Hurry up, and the Yang family's fabric and elixir business will be yours!

Instead of an opening statement, Old Master Yang's talk was more of a motivational speech, encouraging people to come forward.

Qin Tian found it quite amusing. Damn, this old man really put in effort to get his daughter married off.

However, despite Old Master Yang's speech, no one came forward even after a minute, though some seemed eager to give it a try.

At this moment, Yang Jingyun stepped forward and loudly declared, "Whoever can take off my veil, I will marry him. Come on, all you heroes, you're not afraid of a mere woman, are you?"

Yang Jingyun's words were full of valor and a touch of provocation.

Finally, a man could not help himself, "I'll see how strong you are! I'm Sun Jiang, a disciple of the Zhenyun Sect from East State, please!"

A man in his twenties, polite in demeanor, spoke and then assumed a fighting stance.

Sun Jiang, a rather funny character, challenged Yang Jingyun with great form, yet he spent thirty years just posing, making Qin Tian laugh so hard he nearly choked.

"Watch out, I'm going to attack now!"

Sun Jiang finally made his move and charged forward!

Bam!

With a swift kick, Yang Jingyun sent Sun Jiang flying off the stage without him even touching her.

Wow! The whole crowd buzzed, and even Qin Tian was shocked!

Yang Jingyun's strength was in the Primordial Pill stage!

Swallowing hard, Qin Tian thought, damn, the Qilin Mountain Sect is so behind the times. Here in East Sea City, a bride-selecting contest girl is already at the Primordial Pill stage!

But thinking about it, Qin Tian wasn't surprised.

He heard Yang Jingyun was a student of East Han Academy, later recruited by the City Lord Mansion, dropping out of school.

To get into East Han Academy, you need to be at the Primordial Pill stage, otherwise, you aren't even eligible for selection.

"I advise you all, if your cultivation isn't at the Primordial Pill stage, don't come up here to embarrass yourselves. I'm too lazy to make a move!"

After kicking Sun Jiang down, Yang Jingyun proudly addressed those below the stage.

Her words silenced the men below for a good ten seconds, each hanging their heads in shame.

"Such arrogance, I'll try!"

Finally, another contender came forward. Despite having the Primordial Pill stage strength, Yang Jingyun dispatched them one by one, sending three men down in succession, causing a stir in the crowd.

"This woman, her strength must at least be at the middle stage of the Primordial Pill! Damn, frightening!" Qin Tian was awestruck after watching Yang Jingyun in action.

Many more men came forward after that, but the best only lasted about ten minutes against Yang Jingyun before narrowly losing.

No man was able to even touch Yang Jingyun's veil.

"What, is there no one else?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Jingyun spoke once more on the stage.

This time, all the men truly remained silent.

Qin Tian, of course, also stayed silent. He was just there to enjoy the spectacle, uninterested in the woman herself. Besides, even if he went up on the stage, he wasn't confident he could snatch Yang Jingyun's veil.

"Who says there's no one? I'm here! Ha, I'm just single and haven't been with a woman in ages."

As the crowd fell silent, a cheerful and loud voice rang out. With that, a figure in white leapt onto the stage. Seeing this, Qin Tian's eyes instantly lit up!
