"Brother Tang Yi, I’ve also advanced to a Six-star Battle Master," Tang Shu said sweetly.
"Huh? So fast?" Hearing this, Tang Yi said with some surprise.
When this little girl Tang Shu took the qualification exam, she was just a Three-Star Battle Master. How many days had it been? And she’s already advanced to a Six-star Battle Master!
What’s more, as a Three-Star Battle Master, Tang Shu could defeat opponents much stronger than her. He had to admit, she was truly a martial arts prodigy! The darkest of dark horses!
Tang Yi had originally thought that within the Tang Clan, Tang Piaomiao’s Talent was already quite impressive. He never expected there to be a Tang Shu who was even more formidable than Tang Piaomiao.
’Of course, she still can’t compare to me.’
"I’m worse off than little Shu. I’m still a Seven-star Battle Master with no improvement at all," Tang Baijie said gloomily. Her expression was a mixture of unwillingness and resignation.
"Don’t be discouraged. It’s only been a few days. You reached the level of a Seven-star Battle Master even when you didn’t have Cultivation Resources. Now that you have them, you’ll get stronger very quickly," Tang Yi comforted her.
"Mm," Tang Baijie nodded.
In truth, it wasn’t that her progress was slow, but that Tang Piaomiao and Tang Shu were improving too quickly.
So by comparison, she naturally seemed to be lagging behind.
Tang Baijie knew this as well, so while she was unwilling to accept it, she wouldn’t lose heart.
"Brother Tang Yi."
Just as Tang Yi was chatting idly with the members of the Tang Clan, another graceful figure approached and called out to him. Her voice was as pleasant as a songbird’s.
"Hm?" Tang Yi found the voice incredibly familiar and looked up.
"It’s you, Wang Bi’Er."
"It is. I watched all your matches, Brother Tang Yi, but you were so busy. I kept wanting to see you, but I never got the chance," Wang Bi’Er said pitifully, pouting.
As she spoke, she came over to Tang Yi’s side, made Tang Piaomiao scoot over a little, and sat down right next to him.
Now, Tang Yi was flanked on his left and right by two great beauties.
Tang Piaomiao looked at Mu Xianling and Wang Bi’Er, a strange expression on her face.
Anyone could see that both of them were interested in Tang Yi.
’But which one will become my sister-in-law?’
It was a question well worth pondering.
When Mu Xianling saw Wang Bi’Er sit down beside Tang Yi, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart. Her lovely, willow-like eyebrows furrowed, and she looked a little displeased but said nothing.
"Er, well, it’s fine to chat now. It doesn’t matter."
Tang Yi was a bit embarrassed. Mu Xianling was one thing; she was his servant and, according to their bet, was supposed to sit by his side. Tang Yi didn’t really think of her as a woman. But Wang Bi’Er was different. She was Wang Zongyao’s daughter, and they weren’t that close. Her sticking so near to him now made Tang Yi very uncomfortable.
"Tang Yi!"
While Tang Yi was still lost in thought, someone else called his name and started walking toward their group.
Another one!
"Zhu Yin? Why are you here too?"
Tang Yi looked at the newcomer, surprised.
’I’m just sitting here chatting with my fellow clan members. Why are all these women showing up one after another?’
’And she’s the daughter of the Mansion Master of the Fengyue City Branch Mansion, no less.’
’If I remember correctly, didn’t Master Zhu just come to the Tang Clan to propose a marriage the day before yesterday?’
’Am I attracting romance lately?’
After Zhu Yin came over, she also sat down next to Wang Bi’Er. Once seated, she said with dissatisfaction, "I’m one of the twenty candidates from Fengyue City who received a qualification spot. Why can’t I be here?"
"You?"
Tang Yi understood.
Zhu Yin was also under eighteen. Although she didn’t participate in the qualification exam, she was the daughter of the Mansion Master of the West Mansion Branch. It wasn’t a problem for her to have a qualification spot.
"Tang Yi, let me ask you. My father went to your Tang Clan the day before yesterday to propose marriage. Why haven’t you given a reply?" Zhu Yin asked very bluntly.
"Er, about that..." Hearing this, Tang Yi was momentarily flustered.
He hadn’t expected Zhu Yin to be so shameless and ask such a direct question.
Before he transmigrated, Tang Yi had been a homebody. After transmigrating, although he possessed the powerful Battle God System, leveled up incredibly fast, and gained extraordinary strength in a very short time... he had never seen a spectacle like this.
He was surrounded by three women, one of whom was confronting him directly about why he hadn’t accepted a marriage proposal.
Anyone in his shoes would panic.
"Stop asking. My Mu Clan also went to propose marriage, and the Tang Clan hasn’t given them a reply either."
Mu Xianling couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up to get Tang Yi out of his predicament.
Seeing one woman after another appear by Tang Yi’s side, Mu Xianling felt the threat to her position growing larger and larger.
’First, a Wang Bi’Er showed up, and now there’s a Zhu Yin. This Tang Yi is a real lady-killer!’
But after she spoke, Mu Xianling regretted it.
’What’s wrong with me? Am I jealous?’
’What is my relationship with Tang Yi that I would come to his rescue?!’
At the thought, Mu Xianling’s face suddenly turned red.
And this very moment of Mu Xianling blushing was seen by a nearby candidate, who was immediately stunned by her heavenly beauty.
Mu Xianling was quite attractive, and her entire being exuded an ethereal, Immortal Spirit-like aura. She wasn’t just beautiful; her temperament was otherworldly. She was truly a top-tier beauty.
After a single glance, the candidate found he couldn’t look away.
Immediately, this candidate stood up and, along with a few other candidates from his group, walked over toward Tang Yi.
"Greetings, miss. I am Zhou Yuanlong, son of the Zhou Family Patriarch of Yuanfeng City. The moment I saw you, I was stunned by your heavenly beauty and filled with admiration. I would like to make your acquaintance. May I ask for your name...?" the candidate named Zhou Yuanlong said to Mu Xianling with a measured and poised tone after walking over.
"The son of the Zhou Family Patriarch of Yuanfeng City? Not interested. I have no desire to make your acquaintance," Mu Xianling refused directly, her attitude extremely poor.
Mu Xianling was already feeling vexed. Tang Yi had attracted so many women, and she was trying to figure out how to deal with the situation. Now, a fly had suddenly buzzed in, wanting to get to know her. How could her attitude not be terrible?
"Miss, you seem to hold some prejudice against me," Zhou Yuanlong said with a frown.
"I wouldn’t call it prejudice, but I find it extremely annoying that you’ve come over and interrupted our conversation. So, hurry up and leave. I don’t want to be your friend," Mu Xianling said.
"Miss, do you have any idea who is standing before you? How dare you treat our Marshal Zhou like this? He was the number one ranked participant in the Yuanfeng City qualification exam! His future is limitless!" one of the Yuanfeng City candidates standing behind Zhou Yuanlong immediately shouted.
"I don’t care who he is. I don’t like him, so I’m asking him to leave," Mu Xianling said, giving Zhou Yuanlong no face whatsoever and directly telling him to get lost.
One had to understand who Mu Xianling was.
Back in Fengyue City, if there weren’t a thousand suitors pursuing her, there were at least eight hundred, but she had bluntly rejected every single one of them.
If it was someone she didn’t like, she wouldn’t give them the time of day.
It had been the same with Tang Yi at first, though her opinion of him had gradually changed.
For Zhou Yuanlong to try and make a move on Mu Xianling now, being driven away was only to be expected.
