Chapter 3187 – Have You Considered My Brother

Tianming wasn’t just targeting the top ten. With his ten times reward multiplier, he wanted to go as far as he could. With the results of the third round finalized, they could go on to challenge the imprisoned idol. He had been preparing for it.

“It’s you again!” Suishen Yao came out quite confident but almost puked blood when she saw herself ranked second. It was the third time in a row! While they had surpassed Qitian Jian, they were ranked beneath Tianming once more. She felt the urge to punch Suishen Zhao’s smug face.

“Fifteen breaths?” Suishen Shuang counted the difference and froze.

“What? Are you insane?” Suishen Yao knew that her brother would never be capable of such a feat and immediately turned to Tianming. “Was it you again?”

“Yes….”

Suishen Yao lost it. “I don’t care! I want to switch teams and be carried, too!”

Nobody could have predicted such a result at the start.

“I must admit that if you were in a team with him, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll rank first.” Even Suishen Shuang seemed completely convinced.

“Little Zhao, how did the old folks react to this?” Suishen Yao sneakily asked.

“They proclaimed Brother Tianming a prospective eminent,” Suishen Zhao said.

“That’s it?” She rolled her eyes. “As I expected, those old folks lack the guts. If I were the leader, I’d immediately take him into our house and make him stay by getting him a wife.”

Suishen Zhao hastily said, “Please make sure not to say that! I said the same thing and Dad seemed really angry. I think he intends to punish me in Suishen Cave after the fourth round….”

“What’s going on?” Suishen Yao didn’t understand until her little brother briefed her on the whole thing. “Damn, those old folks look down on people too much! So much for their empty posturing! Ptooey! My disciple’s achievements on the Prehistoric Path are so great, yet they still complain. Even though he’s still young, he isn’t the least bit worse than the other men they’ve allowed to marry into the house, right? If they take him in young, they can raise him to fit their needs better!”

Even Suishen Yao had to change how she saw Tianming with his results. It was one crazy upheaval after another.

“Yaoyao, better keep that part unsaid,” Suishen Shuang warned, having a rough grasp of the details between the lines.

“I’m just miffed. The old man is so stubborn and always thinks that we’re wrong and he’s right. I want to show him that everything he stands for is trash!” She grit her teeth and felt like she was championing her cause.

“Alright, there, there,” Suishen Shuang said. She knew that the rebellious Suishen Yao’s friction with her parents would only grow bigger and bigger, especially due to the arranged marriage.

“Little Li! Tell me if you fall for any girl of House Suishen. I’ll be your wingwoman! Give birth to a spunky child like you that’ll show those old folks how wrong they’ve been!”

Tianming could do nothing but laugh along. He wasn’t too interested in Suishen Blood, since it felt somewhat off to him.

“Sis, since you don’t really care for your two marriage candidates, have you considered my brother here—” Suishen Zhao immediately shut up when he realized he had almost said something wrong.

Tianming heard it and felt really awkward. Suishen Zhao was truly pure and kept trying to watch out for him. I appreciate your kindness, but your sister’s a bit….

As expected, Suishen Yao immediately showed her fangs and talons. “You animal, wait until I pull out your tongue and feed it to your precious ‘brother!'”

“I didn’t say anything.” Suishen Zhao rolled his eyes.

“What about you?” She turned to Tianming. “Me?” Tianming respectfully backed off. “You’re a master I respect.”

The moment he said that, the Yin Chens in his lifebound space were considering whether it should send a signal. After all, Tianming had ‘respected’ his previous so-called master as well.

“Hehe!” Suishen Yao grit her teeth. “I’ll be alone for the rest of my life! Nobody can make me sacrifice my freedom!”

“How mighty of you…. Truly respectable,” Suishen Zhao said, giving her a thumbs-up.

As they bantered, Qitian Jian, Yumo Xue, and the others gradually cleared the third round. They ranked third and fourth respectively, and heard of Tianming’s insane clear time.

Even though Tianming had wanted to leave to attempt a breakthrough to the fifth level, he gave up on it. Yu Nu of House Yumo was keeping an eye on him. He was an eminent, and it would be really dangerous for Tianming to leave alone. While Fen Nu might follow Tianming to protect him, he didn’t want to show off his fifth cosmic chart.

“I can only wait until I clear the imprisoned idol and return to Suishen Cave.” After every two idols was a two-week break. But if he waited, he would have a harder time fighting during the imprisoned idol’s trial. “I can’t be sure that I’ll definitely break through this time, either. Let’s wait and see.”

Either way, breaking through twice at the Prehistoric Path would be a crazy boon for him. “I have to grow as quickly as I can so my life will be comfortable after the Prehistoric Path closes.”

Tianming had been the center of attention the entire time. Every team that finished the omnisentient idol would immediately hear about his record, including Suishen Yuan and Suishen Yue. They returned to their parents’ side. As totemancers, they simply found a miracle like this hard to believe.

“It’s really that ridiculous?” Suishen Yuan felt rather speechless. He had seen Tianming and the other three fortuna disciples chatting with each other up close and turned to Suishen Yue. Suddenly, he felt like laughing. “Are you also feeling threatened?”

Tianming was just a black ring disciple with no backing whatsoever, yet the two major pathkeepers felt like they had another love rival. Suishen Yue narrowed his eyes. When Suishen Yuan noticed his alertness, he secretly felt good about it.

“Looks like you aren’t completely confident either! Hehehe….” Suishen Yuan had closed a bit of the gap after clearing the omnisentient idol.

At that moment, there was some commotion at the Fortuna Path.

“Someone’s breaking through on the Fortuna Path!”

“Who is it?”

“The minor pathkeeper from House Yumo!”

As expected, after using the order fragment, springwater, and experiencing three divine idols, Yumo Yuanni had broken through twice, going from eight cosmic charts to ten.
