The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yang Tiancai was deeply immersed in self-admiration, profoundly impressed by his own master’s strength. On the side, Song Linger couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “With someone like you, our master wouldn’t be interested!” “Oh, I was just joking with Sister,” Yang Tiancai waved his hand, smiling sheepishly.

“Hehe, I’ve always noticed something in your eyes when you look at our master…”

“Smack!” The word “ambiguous” wasn’t even finished before Song Linger gave him a firm pat on the back of his head.

“Sister, why did you hit me?”

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll sew your mouth shut!” she said with a hint of blush on her face. Yang Tiancai, seeing this, grinned mysteriously. He already had a plan in mind. A man as impressive as their master certainly deserved his sister’s admiration!

At this moment, Song Linger dared not look at the mischievous smile on Yang Tiancai’s face anymore, her heart beating rapidly. She had always thought she concealed her feelings for Xiao Shun well, but she never expected her cunning junior brother to discover her secrets.

Knowing his sister had a fiery temper, Yang Tiancai dared not provoke her any further, as he turned his gaze to the arena. Seeing him no longer pursuing the matter, Song Linger breathed a sigh of relief, but did not notice the unusual look in Wen Yao’s eyes by her side.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Zhang Feiyang’s face was pale, clearly wounded by the earlier encounter with Xiao Shun. He was not one to easily admit defeat; the Zhang family’s reputation was at stake. Being defeated by an unknown soldier would surely invite ridicule!

“You are strong, but I am not weak either!” With these words, Zhang Feiyang wielded his sword and launched another attack on Xiao Shun. His sword clashed violently with Xiao Shun’s, creating a deafening roar in midair. Fierce winds swept through the battlefield in all directions.

Zhang Feiyang, shouting angrily, shifted from single-handedly wielding his sword to gripping it with both hands, determined to defeat Xiao Shun. Xiao Shun’s sword, as sharp as a dagger, struck heavily against Zhang Feiyang’s blade.

“Boom!” The two combatants’ techniques collided violently, resonating with a thunderous boom. Zhang Feiyang, his face flushed from exertion, refused to believe that his opponent could stop his attack with just two fingers.

It was an absurd notion to him. But contrary to his expectations, no matter how much force he exerted, Xiao Shun maintained his posture, firmly and effortlessly blocking Zhang Feiyang’s relentless onslaught. “You are not my match,” Xiao Shun calmly stated as he placed a palm on his opponent’s chest.

Although the palm seemed unassuming, in Zhang Feiyang’s eyes, it was menacing and unavoidable. In the next moment, Zhang Feiyang’s body dropped like a leaf in a strong wind, falling to the ground below. Since the moment Xiao Shun struck, Zhang Feiyang knew he would be defeated, feeling a mix of anger and helplessness.

Seated below the stage, Zhang Feiyang felt ashamed and resentful as he declared, “This is not the end, but the beginning. The Zhang family will not let you off so easily!” Admitting he was no match for Xiao Shun did not mean the Zhang family lacked others who could deal with him. After all, the Hall of Cultivation had a long history and was not merely a facade.

Facing this threat, Xiao Shun remained unfazed, walking away from the stage. At this moment, he became the center of attention. Zhang Feiyang, a renowned practitioner, had been easily defeated by him, demonstrating his own strength. Some spectators even heard rumors of Xiao Shun’s conflicts with the Zhang family, adding more intrigue to his recent victory.

Someone who dared to provoke the Zhang family was no ordinary person. The Hall of Cultivation’s reputation preceded it, and the Zhang family had a formidable figure among them. When Xiao Shun returned to the prep area, he instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Although his earlier conflict with Gu Baiyi had attracted some attention, defeating Zhang Feiyang, a powerful opponent, raised even more eyebrows. Xiao Shun paid no mind to the complex gazes, sitting down nonchalantly beside Song Linger.

As the competition continued to heat up, the remaining contestants, including Yang Tiancai, who had been skirting along, were naturally defeated. After Yang Tiancai’s elimination, Wen Yao too followed suit, being eliminated in the third round.

As time passed, the prep area became less crowded until only Xiao Shun and Song Linger remained. By now, the sun had set, casting a golden hue over the arena.

The Hero Cup had come down to the final three contestants: Xiao Shun, Song Linger, and Gu Baiyi. From the beginning of the tournament, these three had not suffered any losses. The final rankings would be determined among them.

“Linger, why don’t you forfeit the next match? Third place will suffice,” Xiao Shun remarked to Song Linger as she prepared to take the stage.

“Is master getting impatient?” Song Linger inquired.

Xiao Shun nodded with a smile, “Hehe, it’s time to conclude.”

“Okay,” Song Linger nodded, swiftly leaving the prep area. As she appeared on the large screen, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. For a girl to stand out in the highly competitive Hero Cup showcased her exceptional skills. However, amidst the applause, she decided to abandon the pursuit of the top two places, a decision that was both expected and surprising at the same time!

After all, facing Gu Baiyi and Xiao Shun, two outstanding competitors, she seemed to have little chance of victory. Stepping onto the stage, she knew it was more prudent to step back voluntarily.

“Ladies and gentlemen, due to Miss Song’s voluntary withdrawal, the third place is secured for her. Now, it’s time to determine the first and second place between the remaining two contestants – Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi. Will Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi please step onto the stage?”

The announcer, holding a microphone, directed the crowd’s attention to the east platform. Meanwhile, Song Linger glanced towards the prep area, where the sun’s rays illuminated a figure in white, gracefully descending. Simultaneously, a majestic figure emerged from the prep area, walking towards the stage with the sunset at his back.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, the audience held their breath, feeling the chilling atmosphere emanating from the stage. The temperature dropped, and many noticed the sense of danger in the air, tightening their grip on their clothes.

Song Linger sat on the third chair of the second stage, with two empty chairs on her right, reserved for Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi. She no longer felt the anxiety she had before the match, appearing calm and composed.

In the fading light of the setting sun, two formidable figures finally met on the stage. As daylight waned, the temperature dropped, and a sense of anticipation filled the air. The audience was captivated by the confrontation between the two powerful individuals.

As the competition in the Hero Cup reached its pinnacle, only three contestants remained: Xiao Shun, Song Linger, and Gu Baiyi. Since the beginning, these three had remained undefeated, and the final ranking would be determined among them.

“Linger, why don’t you forfeit the next match? Third place will suffice,” Xiao Shun suggested to Song Linger as she prepared to take the stage.

“Master can’t wait, can he?” Song Linger asked.

Xiao Shun nodded with a smile, “Hehe, it’s time to end.”

“Okay,” Song Linger nodded and quickly left the prep area. The moment she appeared on the big screen, the audience erupted in thunderous applause. As a girl standing out in the fiercely competitive Hero Cup, she deserved the audience’s admiration. However, amidst the applause, she made a surprising decision to give up the pursuit of the top two places.

Her choice was both expected and unexpected, considering that facing Gu Baiyi and Xiao Shun, she seemed to have little chance of winning. Presented on the big screen and applauded by the audience, Song Linger’s decision to step down from the top two contenders was a wise move, ensuring her secure place as the third-place winner.

“Ladies and gentlemen, due to Miss Song’s voluntary withdrawal, the third place is now secured for her. The first and second place will be determined between the two remaining contestants – Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi. Now, please welcome Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi to the stage!”

The announcer’s voice rang out, commanding everyone’s attention to the stage in the east. As Song Linger glanced towards the prep area, a figure in white gracefully descended amidst the fading sunlight. Simultaneously, a towering figure emerged from the prep area, walking towards the stage with the setting sun casting a golden glow behind him.

At that moment, the crowd held their breath, feeling the tension and anticipation building up on the stage. As the sun began to set, the atmosphere grew colder, and everyone sensed the fierce energy between the two formidable opponents.
