"I will strive hard and then et up with Brother Yi at the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield as the top prodigy."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen and the others all nodded with smiles.
The atmosphere beca lively again, with talks and laughter, engaging in casual chat.
However, what they didn’t notice was that in the corner of the front courtyard, a woman in a long dress was pouting.
"You’d better finish the competition quickly; I miss the master already."
A human ancestor, how many demon blood cores could one have in their hand?
Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or perhaps a million?
Just thinking about it made Wen Renying salivate slightly more.
"Drink, drink... After all, I’m also about to head to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield to et with the master."
On another side.
Chen Taiping and Xia Wanwan sat at the main table in the central courtyard, facing the guests coming and going, feeling both happy and pained.
It was the first ti Chen Taiping felt it was so difficult to maintain a smile.
He almost felt his face stiffen.
In contrast, Xia Wanwan remained full of smiles towards the visitors, thanking each one who offered their congratulations.
"My lady, it’s getting late, why don’t you go back and rest?"
Seeing this, Chen Taiping felt sowhat guilty.
If not for the sheer number of guests today, among them many female ones, he wouldn’t have let Xia Wanwan help him out like this.
Xia Wanwan shook her head, "I’m not tired."
Despite what she said, she was indeed physically and ntally exhausted, not having Martial Arts to back her up.
But thinking about her son Chen Yi now becoming a human ancestor, not only did her worries of recent days vanish, but her physical strength also surged.
A human ancestor indeed.
While not exactly a pioneering achievent, it was still quite rare.
Every ti she thought about this, Xia Wanwan felt reassured that the teachings she gave Chen Yi in his childhood were right.
Although Chen Taiping didn’t know what she was thinking, seeing her speak so seriously, he relaxed.
At this mont, Duke Xing Lin Hansong, accompanied by his wife Zhu Yu, sat down beside him, naturally greeting each other warmly.
Due to the betrothal between Chen Yi and Lin Xueru, the relationship between the Chen and Lin families was quite good now.
Serving together in court, Chen Taiping and Lin Hansong could also discuss court matters and family affairs, helping each other out.
"It’s a pity Chen Yi isn’t here today."
"Indeed, if he were here, I would insist on marrying him to Xueru no matter what."
"He’s almost eighteen, it’s ti for him to get married."
Xia Wanwan couldn’t stand hearing this, and she spoke up, "That’s right, I’m eager to have a grandchild."
"A granddaughter would be fine too."
"..."
Upon vaguely overhearing their conversation, Lin Xueru’s face flushed red, and she bowed her head, saying nothing.
Marriage, huh.
Previously, when Brother Yi went to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, he seed to say sothing, didn’t he?
Waiting for her at Taizhou Mountain?
That shouldn’t count as a marriage proposal, right?
With these complicated thoughts, Lin Xueru figured she would have to wait until the competition ended before she could go to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.
...
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The prodigy competition on Tianyuan Continent concluded.
Lin Xueru lived up to expectations and secured first place, with Xie Dongan still occupying the second position.
However, the third place was no longer Wei Nantian from the Imperial Family, but Ah man from the Barbarian Clan.
He narrowly defeated the swordsman from East Continent and secured third place.
Wei Nantian was in fifth.
After that, there was a monk from West Continent Buddha Country, the direct disciple of the State Preceptor.
The competition ended.
Emperor Wei announced on the spot, "Return to rest, and three days later, soone will co to guide you to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield."
He added with a mysterious smile, "A guest you wouldn’t expect."
