Chapter 747: Xu Lizhis Heartfelt Confession (1/2)

811'>

The choices made by both the female and male partic.i.p.ants were irreversible, so they had to make their decisions wisely.

This segment generally determined how many matches would be made during the convention, and it was also the segment where the largest number of partic.i.p.ants were eliminated.

Generally speaking, it was very rare for more than 10 matches to be made during any edition of the Sea G.o.d Fate Match-making Convention. During this segment, it was often the case that around 50% of the remaining partic.i.p.ants would be eliminated. Of course, most of those were male partic.i.p.ants who were rejected by the women they'd chosen. If more than one woman chose the same man, then a compet.i.tion would commence.

A cylindrical bamboo container appeared in Lan Muzi's hand, and he turned to Tang Yinmeng as he said, ”You can draw numbers, Yinmeng; let's see who our first male partic.i.p.ant will be. Please note that you will only have one minute to make your self-introductions and confessions, so do and say the things that you feel to be most important. This is a very important reminder that I must issue as sometimes, it's better to confess your love to a single woman rather than give a general self-introduction to keep your options open. During a segment like this, it could prove to be a wise decision to put all of your eggs in one basket.”

As Lan Muzi was speaking, Tang Yinmeng had already pulled a number out of the bamboo tube.

”The first male partic.i.p.ant to introduce themselves will be Boy Number 32. Please take the stage.”

The lotus leaves parted to reveal Boy Number 32 in the back row, and the lotus leaf beneath his feet slowly drifted forward, taking him to the front of the group of male disciples.

The man standing atop the lotus leaf swayed and almost fell into the water; it was none other than Xu Lizhi!

At this moment, he wore a rather blank and panicked expression, and he was wringing his hands in a nervous manner.

After witnessing Tang Wulin's return, he had been filled with excitement, just like all of his friends had been. However, at this moment, he was in an atrocious mood.

He'd clearly seen that Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, and Xu Xiaoyan had all refrained from switching on their lights for Tang Wulin, but they'd switched on their lights for him. This meant that he had guessed right from the very beginning; they had switched on their lights for him out of nothing more than pity. He was also quite perplexed about why Girl Number 17 hadn't switched on her light for Tang Wulin, but he was far too dejected to be thinking about that now.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face before his expression gradually returned to normal.

”Alright, Junior Disciple Brother; your time for your self-introduction begins now,” Lan Muzi announced.

”My name is Xu Lizhi,” Xu Lizhi began in a slow voice, ”I'm a food-type Soul Master, and I love all types of food. My martial soul is a steamed bun, so I came to look like a steamed bun. I'm sure no one likes a fatty like me, but just as Senior Disciple Brother Lan had said, I've already come here, so perhaps I'll have a chance if I place all my eggs in one basket. Hence, please allow me to say what I'm about to say next.

”I met the girl of my dreams at a very young age. Ever since back then, I've loved her like I love food. I'm a food-type Soul Master, so I was inevitably bullied by my cla.s.smates, but she always stood up for me and protected me. She's like my guardian angel, and I look up at her with awestruck eyes every single day. I've only managed to become who I am today because she's always been around to help and protect me.”

At this point, Yue Zhengyu, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin's faces were already filled with surprise. It was quite apparent whom he was referring to from this snippet of his monologue alone. Even they had been unaware that Xu Lizhi harbored such feelings toward that person, but how could they not have figured out who he was talking about by now? It was far too obvious!

Xu Lizhi seemed to have settled his nerves at this point, and he was speaking in a far more smooth and steady voice.”Time pa.s.sed, and we grew up together, day after day. She's very determined in her pursuit to reach the pinnacle of all Soul Masters, and I've watched her for every single day along her journey. When I was younger, I always regarded her as a big sister, a guardian angel. That was until I gradually realized that the most important thing in my life was no longer food; it was her instead.”
