Kapitel 182: Chapter 185: Uncle, I'll Behave Myself 55_1

Seeing that Uncle showed no signs of displeasure, Mu Ziying continued to explain to Baili Xia.

"Our ancestors, the founders of the Eight Big Families, were all generals who carved out empires on horseback, once fought alongside the emperor to claim territories."

"Now, over the generations, there is an unspoken rule among these families. We hold a competition every three years to compete for a golden cup."

"What golden cup?" Baili Xia was genuinely ignorant of such a story involving the Eight Big Families.

Smiling, Mu Ziying continued, "This golden cup is said to have been granted by the emperor hundreds of years ago."

"Originally, the eight generals vied for this cup by holding competitions every once in a while, including horse riding, archery, martial arts, along with an assortment of other stuff."

Horsemanship, archery, martial arts... These terms made Baili Xia curious, yet confused.

This matter sounded like something that would have happened in ancient times.
