The competition continued, but no one was in the mood to watch it.
Everyone’s thoughts were on the matter that the law enforcers had just announced. To be exact, some people’s hearts were already wavering.
However, the disciples who went on stage to compete were trying their best to adjust their thoughts and do their best in the competition. They knew very well that the Family Competition was the most important thing for them. They had to firmly grasp this opportunity.
Nangong Xuyao stood on the stage. He took a deep breath and looked at his opponent. Then, he discarded distracting thoughts and began to fight with his opponent.
To reach this stage, their strength was not weak. However, it was probably because Nangong Xuyao had decided to go all out, so when he fought, he would rather inflict significant damage on his opponent at the cost of injuring himself. Therefore, in the end, although he won by a small margin, his body was still covered in wounds.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but cough twice. He knew that he had already suffered internal injuries and would definitely not be able to survive the next match. However, he knew that he would definitely be able to stay in the Hidden World if he could win this competition.
Moreover, most importantly, everything he did was for Master Zhongyu to see.
Long before the Family Competition, Zhongyu Jiarui had already brought him to the Zhongyu family and met the head of the Zhongyu family. He could tell that the other party did not fancy him. Therefore, he had to prove himself now before he could be with Zhongyu Jiarui. Only by being with Zhongyu Jiarui would his future path be smoother.
When Zhongyu Jiarui saw Nangong Xuyao win this match, she almost stood up and cheered. However, under her father’s warning gaze, she did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. However, she was very happy.
“Father, Nangong Xuyao is really a very motivated person.” Zhongyu Jiarui came to Master Zhongyu’s side and said in a low voice, “He relied on his own hard work to reach this stage. Many people who have been cultivating in the
Hidden World can’t compare to him!”
Hearing Zhongyu Jiarui’s words, Master Zhongyu glanced at her indifferently. “Do you like this Nangong Xuyao that much?”
He didn’t think highly of Nangong Xuyao, but it wasn’t because of his low cultivation. He could see that Nangong Xuyao was talented in cultivation and was also very hardworking. As long as he continued to persevere, the future would not be too bad.
However, he did not approve of his daughter marrying such a person. Especially when he saw Nangong Xuyao’s performance on stage, he was even more certain of his thoughts. Even if it meant sacrificing himself to some extent, he would not hesitate to cause even greater harm to his adversaries.
Such a reckless and ruthless fighting style revealed the extent of this person’s ruthlessness towards himself, let alone towards others.
And although Nangong Xuyao pretended to be affectionate, in his eyes, there was no love for Jiarui. Therefore, it was obvious why he wanted to be with Jiarui.
“Father, aren’t you asking the obvious?” Zhongyu Jiarui blushed. “So, Father, just agree to our relationship!”
“Impossible,” Master Zhongyu said mercilessly. “If you want to be with Nangong Xuyao, then give up! I definitely won’t agree to it.”
If Nangong Xuyao was a direct descendant of the Nangong family, he might agree. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to such an outer sect disciple. He would never agree to someone who was not compatible with his daughter and had been acting in front of her.
“Father!” After hearing Master Zhongyu’s words, Zhongyu Jiarui exclaimed in disbelief. “Why must you oppose us?”
She had thought that her father would relent after the Family Competition. However, she did not expect him to be even more determined now. Previously, he had only said a few ambiguous words. But now, he directly rejected the matter between the two of them.
Master Zhongyu didn’t continue to waste his breath on Zhongyu Jiarui. Instead, he glanced at her indifferently. “I’ve already made my decision and I won’t change it. Give up on this idea!”
“Father, don’t reject Nangong Xuyao so quickly!” Zhongyu Jiarui hurriedly said, “l really like him. Just give him a chance!”
Master Zhongyu glanced coldly at Zhongyu Jiarui. “Also, when we get back, I’ll arrange a blind date for you.”
Zhongyu Jiarui could only marry someone of equal social status. It was definitely not Nangong Xuyao. He wasn’t a fool like Zhongyu Jiarui, who couldn’t see through Nangong Xuyao’s intentions. He could not tolerate Nangong Xuyao using the Zhongyu family as a springboard to continue climbing up.
Seeing Master Zhongyu’s cold attitude, Zhongyu Jiarui felt very frustrated. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak up for Nangong Xuyao. However, when she saw Master Zhongyu’s cold gaze, the courage she had mustered immediately dissipated.
She silently returned to her seat. However, in reality, she was still thinking about how to convince her father to accept Nangong Xuyao. She really liked
Nangong Xuyao and didn’t care about his identity. She just wanted to be with him..
