Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 581 Young people are hot-tempered, and sparring and competing are common occurrences.

The disciple was none other than Ling Xuzi in disguise. His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched quietly, but his face remained expressionless and taciturn, as if he hadn't noticed the gaze at all.

Immediately, Master Yinian gave Lingyou no chance to refute, and naturally turned to Fu Wenzhu beside him, a smile of reminiscence on his face.

"Senior brother, now that you're back, why don't you come with me for a walk around the temple? Although the hibiscus flowers have faded, the pines and cypresses on the back mountain are still evergreen..."

Fu Wenzhu understood immediately, knowing that her junior brother was trying to change the subject, so she smiled and nodded, then stood up.

"That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask. I am grateful for your help, junior brother."

The two exchanged a smile, their brows furrowed with the tacit understanding of their youth, and then walked out of the hall side by side, leaving the remaining problem to Lingyou, who looked troubled.

Seeing this, Ming Jingxing stopped mentioning going down the mountain. He crossed his arms and smugly glanced at Lingyou, his meaning clear: "Hurry up and lead the way! Are you expecting us to find our way ourselves?"

Lingyou watched her master's departing figure, then looked at the smug Ming Jingxing and the calm Bai Yue before her.

In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to Ming Jingxing with a long face.

“Since… since Master has given the order, then… then please follow me.”

With that, he reluctantly turned around and walked towards Qingfeng Courtyard.

Yuwen Yi and Mo Sijin exchanged a glance, both seeing resentment in each other's eyes.

"Brother Dazhuang, let me go live with you at Qingxu Temple!"

Yuwen Yi was the first to jump out, speaking with great enthusiasm.

"I'll guard your house and protect you. Anyone who dares to come near me will be beaten to a pulp!"

"no!"

Mo Sijin immediately squeezed to the front, not wanting to be left behind, and put on a soft smile, acting coquettishly towards Bai Yue.

"Brother Dazhuang, let me serve you tea and water, make your bed and fold the blankets! I'm skillful and clever, I promise I'll take good care of you and make you comfortable!"

"You little brat who knows nothing, do you even know what it means to serve someone?"

Upon hearing Mo Sijin's words, Yuwen Yi immediately roared in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, you're only two years older than me, and all you know is what it means to serve someone?"

Mo Sijin, not to be outdone, also shouted at the other party.

"I...of course I know!"

Yuwen Yi blushed slightly as he said this, then spoke with a smug look on his face.

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with a little kid like you. Anyway, Big Zhuang is mine, and you can't take him away!"

The two argued heatedly, their eyes filled with the eagerness that "Bai Yue will definitely choose me," completely oblivious to Ming Jingxing's increasingly dark expression.

"You two little brats, stay right here and behave yourselves! Neither of you are allowed to follow me!"

Ming Jingxing finally couldn't hold back any longer and shook his fist at the two who were arguing incessantly.

"My grandson has just settled on a place to stay and needs some peace and quiet. If you dare to bother him again, I'll give you a good beating!"

“That’s right, Brother Ming, don’t be polite, just beat them like you would your own children!” Mo Qingyan also found the two boys too annoying, so she chimed in.

Forced by the "tyranny" of these two ancestors, Yuwen Yi and Mo Sijin, though unwilling, could only reluctantly shut their mouths.

Seeing that things were finally quiet, Lingyou gestured to Ming Jingxing to invite them to leave, and the group followed him.

"it is all your fault!"

Watching Bai Yue's departing figure, Yuwen Yi clenched his fist and glared fiercely at Mo Sijin. The other party glared back without backing down. The two temporarily ceased their fighting on the surface, but they were still secretly competing with each other through their eyes.

At this moment, Lingxi quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, smiling apologetically at Yuwen Xiao and Mo Qingyan.

"Master Yuwen, Master Mo, the temple has prepared superior rooms for you all. Please follow the disciple who is leading the way to rest."

Then she turned to Fu Xiuyu and Lu Wangyou, speaking respectfully.

"Two divine healers, your master has already given special instructions regarding your and your senior master's residences. Please follow me this way!"

"it is good!"

Yuwen Xiao, Mo Qingyan, and Fu Xiuyu nodded and followed Lingxi and the Taoist priest she had assigned to leave.

However, just when things seemed to have calmed down, Yuwen Yi suddenly raised his chin at Mo Sijin, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"You sly fox, do you dare come out with me and have a real, one-on-one fight? Whoever wins will be qualified to get closer to Brother Dazhuang!"

Mo Sijin was already furious because she couldn't live with Bai Yue, and after being provoked by him, she immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of? Let's have a one-on-one fight! Who's afraid of you? I'll show you who truly deserves to stay by Brother Dazhuang's side!"

"Alright! Let's stop talking and get going!"

As Yuwen Yi spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to take action at any moment.

Seeing this, Lingxi's expression changed. She wanted to speak up and dissuade them, since these two were both young masters from prestigious families. If they were to fight in Zixiao Temple, it would not look good if word got out.

Before she could speak, Mo Qingyan waved his hand and stopped her with a smile.

"Master, there's no need to worry. Young people are hot-tempered, and it's common for them to spar and compete. It can hone their martial arts skills and also help them vent their anger. Let them be."

Yuwen Xiao also spoke up calmly, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence.

"Anyway, these two kids have never gotten along since they were little. They're used to fighting and bickering. Letting them fight it out will be good for them. Don't worry, they know their limits and won't kill anyone."

Seeing that both parents had spoken, Lingxi could no longer forcefully stop them, so she could only helplessly point towards the door.

"In that case... turn right after you leave the gate, and you'll reach the training ground inside the temple after passing through a bamboo grove. The ground is spacious and fully equipped with weapons. If you two gentlemen wish to spar, you may go there. Remember to stop when you've made your point and don't let it damage your relationship."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

Yuwen Yi and Mo Sijin said in unison, and then, like two roosters fighting with bloodshot eyes, they rushed out of the hall one after the other with fierce momentum.

Lu Wangyou watched the two figures leave, wanting to follow them, but Fu Xiuyu grabbed her arm.

"Little Forget-Worry, you don't know any martial arts, why are you getting involved?"

Fu Xiuyu said irritably.

"If these two lads really get into a fight and get seriously injured, then we can go and treat their wounds."

With that, Fu Xiuyu pulled Lu Wangyou along and followed Lingxi out of the hall.

Outside the hall, several young disciples from the Sword Forging Manor, upon hearing about the one-on-one duel, became interested and began whispering among themselves, eager to join the spectacle.

Before they could even take a step, they were stopped by Mo Yutian and Mo Yulong, whose faces were ashen.

"What are you looking at! All of you, go back to your rooms!"

Mo Yu was so angry that his teeth itched. He pointed in the direction where Yuwen Yi and Mo Sijin had left and shouted angrily.

"Yuwen Yi and Mo Sijin, those two scoundrels, fought each other over a man, they've utterly disgraced the Upper Three Sects!"

Mo Yulong echoed this sentiment, his eyes sweeping fiercely over the disciples.

"All of you, behave yourselves! Anyone who dares to sneak off and go take a look, I'll expel them from the sect when they get back!"

The disciples shrank back after being scolded by their two elders, not daring to say anything more, and could only reluctantly follow the main group.

But she was still incredibly curious. The two young masters were vying for Bai Dazhuang's affections. Who would win this one-on-one duel?
