“Alright, I roughly understand the cause and effect. In other words, your mother asked you to find a cultivator as outstanding as Li Hanlin, and then you met me and thought that I was that person, right?”

“Yes…”

“You’re following your mother’s words too obediently…”

Victor smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked at Li Ziqian and continued, “What if you end up not meeting him? Or, what if that genius who is as stunning as Li Hanlin is actually an unpardonable madman? Do you still want to marry him?”

“But you’re not.”

“I mean if, if I’m such a person, what will you do?”

“This…” Li Ziqian shook her head helplessly, not knowing what to say.

“You see, you haven’t even thought about the other situations. If you end up not meeting such a person for your whole life, are you planning to die alone?”

“I don’t know, maybe.”

“You’re an adult now. You can’t always listen to your mother. You need to have your own thoughts, alright?”

Victor rubbed Li Ziqian’s little head and smiled warmly.

“Think about it carefully. If you still make the same choice after thinking about it, come back and find me.”

After saying that, Victor waved his hand and left with Yan Linyang who was fully dressed.

Today was the opening ceremony of the Prodigy Tournament. As the 20th place on the Men’s List, Victor naturally received an invitation letter.

To be precise, the top 30 people on the Men’s List all received an invitation letter. However, after Victor asked around, he found out that only 26 people came to participate. As for those who did not participate, Jian Haomiao did not know them either.

Following Jian Haomiao to the Guan Xing Tower, Victor kept Yan Linyang into his Small World.

After all, there was still a portion of people present who knew that she had left with Victor. If she was discovered, it would be troublesome.

Arriving at the first floor of the Guan Xing Tower, there were countless wind envoys gathered here. They gathered here so that they could be the first to obtain and share the news. Moreover, the main audience for this battle was actually this group of people.

After all, only they knew the abilities of these experts on the Men’s List like the back of their hand.

Since Victor was a participant of the Prodigy Tournament on the Men’s List, he came all the way to the seventh floor of the Guan Xing Tower. Above him was the venue for the Earth List.

As soon as he stepped onto the seventh floor, Victor immediately sensed three experts whose auras were not inferior to his. Looking closely, he found out that they were Bai Tianjiao, the top ranker of the Men’s List, the goddess of the Dao Sect, and the son of Buddha of the Buddhist Sect.

As for the others, they could only be described as average.

It was worth mentioning that Victor did not find He Qi among the crowd. He must have encountered some issues which required him to stay behind, hence unable to participate in the Prodigy Tournament. Otherwise, he would not have missed such a grand event.

As soon as he stepped into the seventh floor, two figures, one tall and one short blocked Victor’s path.

“Brother Victor, you’re finally here. I was worried that you wouldn’t come back to participate!”

As he spoke, a figure dressed in white suddenly appeared in front of Victor. It turned out to be Feng Yangyan, whom he had met once before. Ever since he heard Victor’s poem, Feng Yangyan had been looking for an opportunity to get to know Victor, but he never managed to.

Coincidentally, the Guan Xing Tower was going to organize the Prodigy Tournament, so Feng Yangyan was certain that Victor would come back to participate. As expected.

“So it’s Brother Feng. I’ve heard so much about you!”

Victor cupped his hands as a greeting.

“Victor! Where’s my sister!”

As for the other person, it was Victor’s sister-in-law, Yan Qingxin.

“Your sister? How would I know where your sister Is?”

“You’re lying! At that time, Senior Jian clearly took my sister away, and you’re still saying that you don’t know where she is!”

“I swear, go and ask that Old Man Jian Haomiao. He did not let me see your sister at all. If you don’t believe me, go and ask him yourself.”

Victor rolled his eyes at Yan Qingxin. Toward this kind of unruly and willful little princess, he did not have a good impression of her.

It just so happened that he had thrown the blame to Jian Haomiao. This bit of chemistry should still exist.

As Victor followed Feng Yangyan and walked into the arena, he quickly threw Yan Qingxin to the back of his mind.

“Speaking of which, Brother Feng, this is also my first time participating in the Prodigy Tournament. Is it possible for me to learn some things from you?”

“Of course. Brother Victor might not know this, but the timing of the Prodigy Tournament is not fixed. It is entirely up to Old Man Guan Xing’s will. Oh right, Old Man Guan Xing is the owner of this Guan Xing Tower. Whether it be the Men’s List or the Earth List, they’re all decided by him.

“As for the reason for holding the Prodigy Tournament, it’s very simple. Every once in a while, there will be a new person on the Men’s List, but it’s hard to determine his strength because there are no battle records. If the ranking doesn’t match his strength, he can show himself in the Prodigy Tournament.

“Hence, there’re no fixed opponents in the Prodigy Tournament. It depends on whether you have the confidence to climb higher.”

“I see.”

“Wow, I’ve waited for Brother Victor for too long. Brother Victor, when the Xiao family left last time, I wanted to invite you to the Peerless Academy as a guest, but you left too quickly!

“This time, I must not miss this opportunity. Brother Victor, after the Prodigy Tournament, can you come to my Peerless Academy for a gathering?”

Feng Yangyan’s voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. They were very curious. How could an unknown person be worthy of such praise from an expert ranked ninth on the Men’s List?

“Of course. Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of me.”

“No trouble, no trouble! Hahaha, Brother Victor’s poetic talent is rarely seen in the world!”

Feng Yangyan followed behind Victor like a little fan. The two of them sat around the ring, chattering non-stop.

“Brother Victor, who are you going to challenge this time? With your strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to enter the top ten, right?”

“Who knows? I think that the top position is pretty good. If possible, I want to sit on it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Victor with disdain.

Only Feng Yangyan laughed loudly and patted Victor’s shoulder. “If it were anyone else, I might laugh. But if it was Brother Victor, maybe Bai Tianjiao’s position would really decline!”

“It’s just a joke. Brother Feng, there’s no need to praise me. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I don’t want to attract other people’s attention.”

“A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! Brother Victor, I feel heartbroken for not getting to know you earlier.”

After saying that, Feng Yangyan took out the ivory pen from his waist and handed it to Victor.

“I came here this time for selfish reasons. Brother Victor, can you leave a poem for me to admire?”

“Hahaha, Brother Feng, is there anyone you want to challenge?”

“Well, of course I do.”

“Brother Feng, if you win, I’ll compose a poem for you. How about it?”

“Are you serious?”
