"Mu Xi, let's go and see the excitement too, right?" Huang Qi is a person who likes to join in the fun, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he always likes to make a kick.

Liu Muxi thought that it was okay anyway, and it would be good to go with her to take a look, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Liu Muxi and Huang Qi packed up their things, and planned to check out and leave directly, taking a look at the excitement by the way.

The two of them said this, and walked out of their courtyard, and before they had walked a few steps, they heard someone shouting with a little hesitation: "Liu...... Brother Liu Xian? ”

Liu Muxi's steps paused slightly, and when he heard the sound, he looked over, and sure enough, he saw a man standing dozens of meters away, looking at him in surprise and hesitation, as if it was an incredible thing for her to appear here.

When Liu Muxi collided with his gaze, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked over in surprise, and said as he walked: "Brother Liu Xian, it's really you!" How did you end up here? ”

"Brother Zheng, what a coincidence, I just came back from Jizhou, and I didn't expect to run into you." Liu Muxi was also very happy to see Zheng Renying, and said in surprise.

Zheng Renying looked at Liu Muxi seriously, seeing that her complexion was very good, and her cultivation seemed to have increased a lot, she felt very relieved in her heart, and said, "Seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved." ”

There are many people who are not optimistic about Liu Muxi and Su Yan, especially Liu Muxi's relatives and friends, who are very worried that Liu Muxi will be angry in Xuantian Sect, after all, such a super sect, if Liu Muxi is wronged, if they want to support her, I am afraid they will not be able to straighten their backs.

Therefore, Zheng Renying's words are really from the heart, he really treats her as his own relatives.

"Mu Xi, who is this benevolent brother?" Huang Qi saw that Zheng Renying and Liu Muxi seemed to have a close relationship, and the fire of gossip in his heart was burning, and when they finished greetings, he immediately couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Muxi was so happy that she forgot to introduce the two, so she introduced the two to each other a little apologetically.

"Huang Qi, this is the eldest brother Zheng Renying, the young master of the Zheng family of the Purple Night Sword Sect, who used to take great care of me. Brother Zheng, this girl is my friend Huang Qi, and she is also a member of the Huang family in Tianzong Mountain, and she made a special trip to accompany me back this time, thanks to her care along the way. ”

Huang Qi is a self-acquaintance, and immediately smiled when he heard this: "It turned out to be Brother Zheng, since you are Muxi's eldest brother, it is also my eldest brother, if you go to Jizhou in the future, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me directly, and never refuse." ”

Huang Qi patted his chest and assured that the Huang family has a lot of power in Tianzong Mountain, and it is powerful and deep-rooted, far from being comparable to people with shallow roots like Liu Muxi, and the words of the Huang family are definitely more effective than Liu Muxi's words.

Although Liu Muxi is famous and the fiancée of the sect leader of Xuantian Sect, she has never done anything convincing, she has no power and manpower, and her cultivation is not capable of overpowering the crowd, which is heartbreaking, who will buy her account?

Unless Su Yan personally ordered it.

Therefore, Liu Muxi still has a long way to go if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Tianzong Mountain and be thoroughly recognized.

"Thank you very much." Zheng Renying and Huang Qi's impression is also good, although he is a person from a large sect, he does not have a trace of arrogance, which makes him have a good impression of Huang Qi.

"You're welcome." Huang Qi said, and then he didn't know what to remember, and exclaimed: "Ah, it seems to be getting more and more noisy outside, what happened?" ”

She listened carefully again and said, "I seem to have heard your name Mu Xi, let's go, let's go and see what's going on." ”

After speaking, the figure flashed, and there was no trace.

Liu Muxi and Zheng Renying glanced at each other helplessly, and also followed, but neither of them was in a hurry, so they walked over slowly.

Liu Muxi is not very curious, while Zheng Renying knows very well what is going on.

When I walked out of the inn, I saw that the street outside was crowded and bustling, and one by one they rushed to the inn diagonally opposite.

Even the shopkeeper of the inn and the little second brother gathered at the door to look out at the bustle, with a hint of schadenfreude on their faces.

Peers are enemies, not to mention that they are on the same street, and the two inns are almost the same, if they are not incompatible.

Of course they were happy to see that another inn was unlucky.

And the extremely unlucky inn is the inn where Miss Zheng stayed, and at this time it has been surrounded by water, and everyone is excited, wanting to meet Miss Zheng.

The shopkeeper of the inn said everything, but no one listened, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to be angry, he felt that those people were going to come in directly.

He also has no choice, the Zheng family is behind their inn, of course he can't hand over the eldest lady. However, these people in front of him are even more difficult to provoke, the warriors can't stand the stimulation, who knows if they will kill themselves in a hurry, he can only accompany the smiling face, let everyone sit down and talk well.

But the crowd was excited, and no one listened to him at all.

"Shopkeeper, why are you so uninteresting? We just want to take a look at Miss Zheng, and we're not a disciple, what are you afraid of? Call them out and let us see. Led by a martial artist at the peak of the day after tomorrow, said with a big grin.

"We traveled thousands of miles to get here all night, and we didn't even eat, but we didn't even eat to see your old face, you have to force us to go in, are you satisfied?" Another person, who cultivated to be similar to her, also said.

Quite a few people began to echo them.

There was even a very bewitching-looking female warrior who said: "The slave family heard that Venerable Liu is beautiful and generous, with a gentle temper, and is an extremely rare beauty, and I also admire her very much in my heart." Originally, I thought that I would never be able to see her again in this life, but I didn't expect that on the road of endless people, Miss Zheng, who was similar to Venerable Liu, was right in front of us, how could we let go of this rare opportunity? Shopkeeper, don't worry, even for the sake of Venerable Liu's face, we won't do anything to Miss Zheng. ”

The shopkeeper's heart was bitter, not because he didn't let them see the eldest lady, but because Miss Zheng didn't want to see them!

He had seen Miss Zheng's true face, although she was beautiful, it would not be amazing, and he immediately understood in his heart that Miss Zheng was probably not as similar to Venerable Liu as rumored.

At that time, he also admired Miss Zheng's courage, and even dared to take advantage of Venerable Liu's reputation, and even made her gain fame and fortune after the most embarrassing event, and found a good marriage.

However, seeing the scene in front of him, he felt that his admiration last night was a little ridiculous.

Miss Zheng probably didn't expect that one of her lies would cause such a big sensation, right? However, he did not sympathize with her at all, and everything was her own doing.

Moreover, his shopkeeper is much more pitiful than Miss Zheng, who will pity him?

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by telling the truth, Miss Zheng? Leave us alone here? Or is she too weak to come out? Another woman in the crowd said.

"yes, she can't be honest, right? In fact, she didn't have any resemblance to Venerable Liu at all? Those are the rumors she put out at all? ”

Some became suspicious and became more and more unrelenting.

Many people thought in their hearts that if Miss Zheng was not like Liu Muxi at all, not to mention that she was born in the Zheng family of Jinming Mansion, she was born in the Zixiao Sword Sect, and they should not expect them to bypass her easily.

Liu Muxi couldn't help but feel funny when she heard this voice, this Huang Qi also went to join in the fun, I really don't know what to say.

Immediately, Liu Muxi frowned slightly, and asked Zheng Renying next to him, "Brother Zheng, what's going on?" Why did so many people suddenly come to see Miss Zheng? It's only been one night, and these people must have come too quickly, right? ”

Zheng Renying said with a smile: "Naturally, someone listened to the news, and then increased the degree of resemblance between Miss Zheng and you, from four or five points to seven or eight points, which aroused everyone's curiosity, as long as there is nothing important, the martial artists in this vicinity will come over overnight to see the beauty, don't underestimate the degree of worship that these people worship you." ”

Liu Muxi looked at Zheng Renying a little strangely, and said, "How did Brother Zheng know this matter so clearly?" ”

Zheng Renying blinked slightly mischievously and said, "Because this is what I ordered people to do." ”

After speaking, his face turned cold and said: "I originally just wanted to see if Miss Zheng looked like you, but I didn't expect that she would use your reputation to make profits on the surface, but behind the scenes, she said crazy things and said that you were not." I really can't watch someone like this who has gained your advantage but refuses to say a good word about you. That's why I wanted to teach her a lesson. Brother Liu Xian, you don't blame me for being nosy, do you? ”

Zheng Renying said with some apprehension.

Liu Muxi was surprised: "How could Brother Zheng think so? It's too late for me to thank you, how can I blame you? ”

Immediately, his voice became a little colder, and he said: "Originally, I thought that she was forced to use my reputation, and I didn't plan to care too much, just think that she was good and virtuous." I don't think so anymore. ”

She looked at the crowd, narrowed her eyes and said: "Helping others also depends on the situation, if we help a white-eyed wolf, if this white-eyed wolf does something wrong in the future, will we also have part of the responsibility." A person with a bad heart like this should be taught a serious lesson. ”

Hearing her say this, Zheng Renying relieved her heart, and a happy smile of understanding appeared on her face.

Liu Muxi is not a saint, she will also be angry.

Someone who knows Lu Dao is so resourceful to use her fame to make profits, and she still looks down on her in her heart, she doesn't know Lu Dao, since she knows Lu Dao, it is impossible to pretend not to see it.

At this time, Zheng Danru was also so anxious that she kept turning around the room, with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Last night she was frightened, didn't sleep well at all, just got up today, I heard the news that the inn was surrounded by people, originally she didn't care much, thought that people were driven away, but I didn't expect more and more people, almost the entire town of people, are gathered together, more exaggerated than last night, she knew that this matter can not be good, frightened that she has been hiding in the room, even dare not show her face, and also ordered the maids and women around her, all out of the city to find out the news.

It's a pity that the news he got was very unoptimistic, Zheng Danru had no choice, and in a hurry, he had to take his subordinates out of anger.

After the last, Liu's mother couldn't sit still, and went to the front to listen to the news, Zheng Danru still relies on Liu's mother, because she can always find a way to get her through the difficulties, it's better than yesterday, she blocked those who embarrassed her with one sentence, and today will definitely be okay.

"Oh, why hasn't Mother Liu come yet? Do you really get old? Can't even run errands? She frowned and grumbled.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the door opening, and then Liu's mother walked in with an embarrassed face, and said anxiously: "Miss, no, there are more and more people outside, and the emotions are also very excited. ”

Zheng Danru panicked suddenly, grabbed Liu's mother's hand tightly, and said, "Mother Liu, what should I do, you must save me!" ”

Zheng Danru was too frightened, and her hand strength was very strong, but Liu's mother didn't seem to feel it, her face didn't change much, but comforted her: "Don't worry, eldest lady, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely be fine." ”

"Okay, Mom, say it quickly!" Zheng Danru looked at her eagerly and urged.

Liu's mother said: "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? As long as you apologize to everyone in public today and clarify to everyone that everything is a rumor, you yourself don't know who spread it, and you don't deliberately let people spread such unreliable rumors. While apologizing, they also cleared their innocence, and said it sincerely, they will definitely not embarrass you. ”

When Zheng Danru heard this, she shook her head in a panic and said, "No, no!" I can't do that. I've finally come this far, how can I give up halfway? ”

She gritted her teeth and said, "After all, there are still a few people who have seen Liu Muxi, and I don't believe that I can't hide it." ”

"You're crazy!" Mother Liu looked at her in disbelief, "When is it now, do you still want this?" Now is the best chance to get out, if you are obsessed, this great future will be ruined by your own hands. ”

Zheng Danru was reluctant, and Liu Muxi's name brought him all kinds of benefits, so he refused to agree.

After the last day, Liu's mother said in disappointment: "Then the old slave has no choice, eldest lady, you can do it yourself!" ”

Seeing this, Zheng Danru panicked and said, "Nurse, don't you care about me?" I know you're going to have a way. Moreover, I did this for your own good, you just told everyone yesterday, saying that Shangguan Yu said it himself, I look like Liu Muxi, and today I regretted it, didn't you slap you in the face? How can I bear ......?"

When Mother Liu heard this, a hint of gleam appeared in her eyes, and she said, "The old slave knows the truth, but there must always be a scapegoat for this matter." The old slave is the most suitable candidate, don't worry, as long as you are willing to do what I say, I will definitely let you marry into the Shangguan Mansion in peace. ”

Zheng Danru realized that she had no way out except for this step, she hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I'll listen to the nurse." ”

"Good boy, I'll dress you up, no matter what, you have to appear in front of everyone beautifully, even if you are not as good as Venerable Liu, it will definitely not be too bad."

Hearing Liu Muxi's name, a trace of hatred flashed in Zheng Danru's eyes, and her slender fingers clenched fiercely.

If one day, she becomes a master, no one can underestimate her, she must be ashamed of today, revenge today, and see who dares to use Liu Muxi to suppress her?

It's just a second-rate family, why is it on her head?

Liu's mother dressed her in a bright red dress, although it was not a wedding dress, but it was also very gorgeous, and she lost a delicate bun, and she carefully put on makeup, which suddenly became a little more beautiful, which made people feel a little amazing.

Only then did he nod with satisfaction and said, "Miss, let's go out!" ”

Looking at her beautiful and peerless face in the mirror, Zheng Danru also smiled with satisfaction, she is obviously so beautiful, she wants to see it, who dares to say that she is not as good as Liu Muxi?

Before the two of them arrived at the door of the inn, they heard the noise outside, the sound was amazing, Zheng Danru had never seen such a big battle, and she was a little timid in her heart, but the anger and humiliation made her hold on and walk forward with her head held high.

"Who wants to see me?"

Zheng Danru held Liu's mother's hand, walked to the door of the inn, and looked around at everyone condescendingly.

And because of her arrival, the noisy voice just now suddenly fell silent, and a pair of eyes were staring at Zheng Danru.

Zheng Danru was not afraid in her heart, but she was calm and looked at everyone not to be outdone, but she had a bit of momentum, fooling some people with low vision, and there was a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

However, many people do not think so.

They can naturally see through Zheng Danru's bluff, as well as the fear and weakness in their eyes.

"You're Miss Zheng?" The martial artist at the peak of the day after tomorrow asked before, and when he saw Zheng Danru nodding, he said again: "I heard that you look seven or eight points similar to Venerable Liu, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Mother Liu was about to answer, but she heard Zheng Danru chuckle and said, "I have never seen Venerable Liu, how do I know the Dao?" However, it has been said that I am somewhat like the Venerable Liu. ”

As soon as Zheng Danru's words fell, she heard a delicate female voice say disappointedly: "Is it? If that were the case, it would be a real disappointment. Since Venerable Liu can be named the first beauty in Kyushu, in the eyes of the slave family, she should be a peerless beauty, not a yellow-haired girl who is not as good as the slave family for a long time, and can only pretend. Alas, it was disappointing that I would not come if I knew that the Dao was so disillusioned. ”

The woman who spoke was the bewitching woman who had spoken before, she was in the crowd just now, and she didn't pay much attention to her, but now she walked out and stood in front of Zheng Danru, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they found that she was really an amazing beauty, every move, every smile, was full of seductive style, especially the way she frowned slightly, it really hurt people's hearts, and most importantly, she was also a congenital early stage martial artist.

However, just looking at her appearance, she is indeed better than Zheng Danru who is dressed up, Zheng Danru suddenly became a vulgar fan with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, and she made a judgment.

Liu Muxi didn't know this woman, but this did not prevent her from having a good impression of her, she asked Zheng Renying: "Who is this woman?" Does Brother Zheng know the way? ”

Zheng Renying really knew each other and said: "This person's name is Qianmei, and he is a character. He looked at Liu Muxi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's a bit similar to your previous experience, Brother Xian." ”

Liu Muxi looked at him suddenly, Zheng Renying nodded at her and said, "She really admires you." ”

Liu Muxi didn't know what it was like in her heart, and she looked at the enchanting and amorous Qianmei, and sighed slightly in her heart.

There were also people in the crowd who knew Qianmei, and at this time they couldn't help but say loudly: "Isn't this Venerable Qianmei?" Why are you also interested in Venerable Liu, I thought that you women would only be jealous of women who are more beautiful and famous than yourself! ”

Qianmei snorted coldly and said, "Only a superficial person like you would think so." ”

She glanced at Zheng Danru, who was pale, and sneered, "However, what you said is also right. Only those who are short-sighted and do not know the height of the sky will always be jealous of others, and will not look down to see if they are worthy! It's funny! ”

Zheng Danru knew that she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and in front of everyone's eyes, she didn't want to pay attention to her, but her words were like a sharp sword, straight into her heart, she really couldn't control her temper, and said angrily: "Who are you talking about who is unworthy?" Who is jealous of others? ”

"Yo, the slave family just said a few words casually, and some people couldn't help but jump out." Qianmei smiled like a flower, looked her up and down, and said contemptuously: "Who should say whom!" Hehe, shouldn't the slave family praise you for being self-aware? It turns out that you also know that you are not worthy? Since you know the way, then stay honest and don't mess with these moths. ”

Speaking of the most reluctant, the tone was already a bit stern and warning, and it even revealed a trace of the power of the innate powerhouse.

Zheng Danru is just an early martial artist, where she can stand this power, her body kicked back a few steps, if it wasn't for Liu's mother to support her, she would have squatted on the ground with an ass.

Even so, his face was pale, and his heart was pounding as if it was about to burst.

Looking at Qianmei's eyes, there was a trace of fear.

Qianmei's eyes became even more contemptuous, and she snorted lightly: "The rumors in this world are really not credible!" What else do you say that there are seven or eight points like Venerable Liu, I think it's all bullshit! This kind of rumor was released by yourself, right, so boastful, are you embarrassed? ”

As if it should be with her words, someone who heard Liu's mother's words last night smiled and said, "Venerable Qianmei, this is wronged." The nurse said it yesterday, saying that the head of the Shangguan family personally admitted that Miss Zheng is similar to Venerable Liu, how can you say that people are boasting! It's obviously her fiancé, and he's bragging for her, hahaha......"

These words made many people laugh, and there was a trace of disdain and ridicule in the laughter. At this point, almost no one believes that Miss Zheng and Liu Muxi look similar.

For this liar who uses Liu Muxi to become famous and full of lies, everyone has no good impression of her, isn't this deceiving everyone's feelings?

It's a shame that everyone was looking forward to it before! It turned out to be all fake.

Qianmei couldn't help laughing when she heard this, looked at Zheng Danru, who was still holding on and refused to admit defeat, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Zheng Danru gritted her teeth fiercely, pushed away Liu's mother's support, ignored her obstruction, walked in front of Qianmei, looked at her hatefully and said, "You haven't seen Liu Muxi again, why do you say that I don't look like her?" Maybe she's not as good as me! It's just that he climbed a high branch and was touted out. Otherwise, how could she be divorced? Besides, she is just from a second-rate family in Jinming Mansion, and she was even abandoned by her family, where can she compare to me? If I had such an opportunity as her, my achievements would have been greater than hers, so why do you say that I am inferior to her? ”

Zheng Danru was so angry that she was able to say what was in her heart in one breath, and her chest felt comfortable!

Anyway, it's already come to this point, no matter how bad it is, what can it be? She's broken jars.

"Miss, don't say it!" Mother Liu hurriedly came up to stop her, but Zheng Danru couldn't listen to any ideas anymore and didn't listen to her at all.

Everyone was stunned by her words, how could this Miss Zheng's head grow, she would have such a strange idea, no wonder before, even Liu Muxi dared to use it, and her head was broken!

However, thinking that they were deceived by such a person, they hated Zheng Danru even more in their hearts.

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to be disrespectful to Venerable Liu, who gave you the guts?" After coming back to his senses, someone was so angry with Zheng Danru.

"People like this should be arrested and beaten to death! lest she talk nonsense outside! ”

"That's right, get her! It is expected that the Zheng family will not dare to say anything? ”

Most of these people worship Liu Muxi, and when they heard that she dared to belittle Liu Muxi like this, of course they didn't want to, so they were angered on the spot.

Zheng Danru is still afraid of death, she is not only afraid of death, but also very arrogant, she dares to say this, but she also thinks that everyone will not do anything to herself, anyway, she is going to marry Shangguan Yuan, do they dare to Shangguan and the Zheng family?

However, when he saw that everyone really wanted to arrest him, he finally knew that he was scared, and shouted screaming, "What do you want to do? I'm the eldest lady of the Zheng family, the wife of the head of the Shangguan family, you dare to kill me? ”

After all, the Shangguan family and the Zheng family are one of the three major families of the Jinming Mansion, and in the hearts of many martial artists, they are still very prestigious and cannot be provoked. Therefore, hearing this, many people have the intention of retreating. They never thought that in order to maintain Liu Muxi's reputation, they would put themselves in a dangerous situation, after all, they all still have relatives and concerns.

Seeing this, the fear on Zheng Danru's face slowly faded, but instead showed a hint of pride, and said, "You know each other!" What if I just scold Liu Muxi? Do you have the ability to kill me? I also want to say that Liu Muxi is a...... Ah......h

After speaking, the whole person had already flown upside down, and the direction was in the crowd.

The crowd there quickly retreated, and Zheng Danru fell to the ground with a "bang", and the surrounding area had become a vacuum.

Zheng Danru swallowed back the blood from her mouth, straightened up, she wanted to see who did it to her, and she would never spare her in the future.

At this time, Qianmei walked over step by step with a cold face, looked at her condescendingly and said, "They don't dare to kill you, I dare!" If you dare to say another word about Venerable Liu, I will make you a human being, so that you can't survive or die! ”

Zheng Danru was simply mad by her, frightened and frightened, softened her breath a little, and said, "You are crazy, are you not afraid that the Zheng family will seek revenge on you?" For the sake of someone you don't know, why bother! ”

Qian Mei stroked her hair and said nonchalantly: "No way, who let me just can't hear someone say that Venerable Liu is not good!" But you want to offend my taboo, what can I do? In order to make my heart comfortable, I had to kill you. ”

Although her voice was charming, it was full of murderous intent, and Zheng Danru knew that she was definitely not joking. It was precisely because she thought she knew in her heart that she was even more afraid!

"Come on, don't hurry up and save me!" Zheng Danru finally called for help.

There are also two innate martial artists by her side, who are secretly protecting her, and will not show up unless her life is in danger, until she successfully marries Shangguan Yuan.

Zheng Danru is also because of them that she is so fearless, and at the last moment, she refuses to accept Liu's mother's suggestion, because she will definitely be fine.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, there were two more middle-aged men around her, both of whom were innate martial artists, and everyone's realm was not under Qianmei.

Qianmei frowned slightly, but still refused to retreat, but suddenly laughed, her eyes were shining, and she was fascinated by it, and her voice seemed to have a vague inducement: "You have thought clearly, do you really want to stop me?" She scolded Venerable Liu just now, if you protect her, when Venerable Liu comes back, when you hear this news, your Zheng family will have to give Miss Zheng a funeral! Is it worth it for such an unfavored waste? ”

When the two innate martial artists heard this, their eyes were confused, and they really hesitated.

Seeing this, Zheng Danru scolded: "Don't listen to her gossip there to confuse the public, sow discord, and kill her quickly, don't you want to betray the Zheng family?" ”

Hearing her voice, the eyes of the two innate martial artists suddenly became clear, and they looked at Qianmei with a trace of chagrin and murderous intent, they were almost confused by this her demon girl, and their bodies were full of murderous intentions.

Zheng Danru laughed at this time, and said a little excitedly: "Slut, don't you want to kill me?" You're here to kill me, but I'm going to see if the Venerable Liu you worship will come to save you?" ”

She couldn't wait to see her lying in a pool of blood.

However, she waited for a long time, and she didn't see her two innate martial artists make a move, so she urged impatiently: "You guys should do it!" Could it be that she is beautiful and reluctant to start? ”

Zheng Danru's face was slightly less excited, and she said hatefully.

Seeing Qianmei's beautiful face, she wanted to destroy it.

It's a pity that the two warriors not only did not make a move, but even slammed and fell to the ground hard, their eyes wide open, but their pupils had already dilated, but they were already dead.

Zheng Danru rushed over in disbelief, checked it, and sure enough, she was completely dead, she spread on the ground in disbelief, and muttered: "What the hell is going on, how could they suddenly die?" ”

Immediately, she screamed in horror: "Who is it, who killed them, come out quickly-"

She was already scared crazy.

Immediately, a very gentle and beautiful female voice came into everyone's ears-

"Don't you want to see me and compete with me? Now here I am! ”
