Nangong Liuli stood outside the crowd, her delicate body trembling slightly, her face as white as paper, and tears welling up in her eyes.
At this moment, she seemed so lonely and sad, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
The day before yesterday, she heard that a talented alchemist suddenly appeared in the Alchemist Branch, and she had wanted to make friends with him;
Yesterday, she heard that a weapon-refining prodigy had allowed the weapon-refining master Wang Dachui to forge a rare weapon with just a few casual tips. She also regretted not being able to see the genius in person;
Today, when the four masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting said that they had lost to a young man under twenty years old at Cuihua Tower last night, she was even more yearning for it.
She never thought that these mysterious geniuses who once made her heart beat were actually the same person!
Moreover, it was her fiancé whom she had always despised and hated!
Is there anything more ironic than this?
Especially just now, she once suspected that the reason why the four masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were unwilling to compete with Ye Chen was that they were secretly bribed by Ye Chen in advance.
Now it seems that it is not that the four masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were bribed by Ye Chen, but that the four masters should have really been defeated by Ye Chen at Cuihua House last night.
"Sister Liuli, I told you yesterday that Young Master Long may not be as bad as you think. Why don't you believe it?"
Just when she was overwhelmed by the feeling of shame, a familiar voice came into her ears.
Ran Chengyun?
Nangong Liuli's face darkened and she looked over.
What caught his eye was a tall woman with an extremely charming appearance.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
Thinking of what happened yesterday, a flash of deep resentment suddenly flashed in Nangong Liuli's eyes.
Yesterday, a genius weapon refiner appeared out of the blue, and with a few random instructions, the weapon refiner Wang Dachui forged a rare weapon.
After hearing the news, she and her father rushed there immediately, hoping to get acquainted with each other.
As a result, the genius weapon refiner was not seen, but ran into Ran Chengyun.
At that time, Ran Chengyun also deliberately showed off to her, saying that not only had he met the genius weapon maker by accident, but he also asked Wang Dachui to make a sword for her.
But when talking about her fiancé Long Hao, Ran Chengyun's expression suddenly became extremely strange.
That's when she realized something was wrong.
After only asking a few times, Ran Chengyun not only refused to explain clearly, but instead made a request to attend today's grand gathering of their Nangong family.
Looking back now, she realized that she had been deceived.
Ran Chengyun must have known about it yesterday that her fiancé Long Hao was the genius weapon refiner, but he kept it from her and kept her in the dark.
Therefore, it can be said that she will become the laughing stock of everyone today and suffer endless humiliation, all thanks to Ran Chengyun.
If Ran Chengyun had told her this yesterday, what happened today would not have happened!
"Sister Liuli, the reason why I didn't tell you yesterday is because I promised Young Master Long not to reveal his true identity to anyone!"
Ran Chengyun's face was full of guilt, and he didn't dare to look at Nangong Liuli for a while.
"Do you think I will trust you again?"
Nangong Liuli laughed at herself: "I treat you as my sister in vain, I didn't expect you to..."
"Liu Li, the matter has come to this, why not... let's forget it!"
Before she could finish her words, her father Nangong Xian's bitter voice came from another direction, "Go and apologize to Long Hao and let this matter go away!"
"Apologize?"
Nangong Liuli's delicate body trembled, and the complicated expression on her face was suddenly replaced by a trace of resentment.
"No, I will never apologize, the matter is not over yet!"
She said categorically: "In this world, warriors are respected. Even if he has unparalleled talents in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine refining, and weapon refining, those are just third-rate skills!"
There are indeed endless professions in this world, and there are countless talented people with lofty ideals in all fields.
But no matter how complex the profession is, it cannot escape a cruel law.
Respect by force!
To put it simply, whoever has the strongest fist is the boss!
No matter how successful you are in other professions, if you encounter a group of thugs, you can only surrender by force.
Among the younger generation nearby, she is recognized as the strongest person, and her talent in cultivation is beyond the reach of all her peers.
Based on this alone, she still has the capital to compete with Long Hao!
"Liu Li, my father knows that you have always been arrogant and unwilling to bow to anyone, but this time we were really wrong!"
Nangong Xian said earnestly: "If you apologize, you may be able to save everything. You can make big things trivial and trivial things disappear, and everyone will be happy in the end. If you continue to be brave, I'm afraid it will push the situation into an abyss of no return!"
As the saying goes, a daughter is better than her father. Nangong Xian knew his daughter very well.
Arrogant, paranoid, unwilling to admit defeat!
She only bows to others, and never bows to anyone.
The stronger the pressure, the stronger the rebound!
"Father, I admit that I did make a mistake before, but my daughter can't swallow this shame and bad breath!"
Nangong Liuli was furious with grief, "My own dignity and the majesty of our Nangong family cannot tolerate anyone's provocation or insult. If I bow to him today, then from now on, not only myself, but the entire Nangong family will never be able to respect him."
Get started!"
"Liu Li, but..."
"Father, I have made up my mind!"
Nangong Xian wanted to say something else, but was instantly interrupted by Nangong Liuli, "This is a matter between me and Long Hao. No matter what the outcome is, I will bear it wholeheartedly and will not harm anyone in the Nangong family!"
Before Nangong Xian could say anything else, she turned around resolutely and shouted to Ye Chen in the center, who was surrounded by stars like a moon: "Long Hao, accept the next test!"
"I'm just waiting for you to speak!"
Ye Chen responded cheerfully, got rid of the entanglement of Mei Xuesong and others, and strode up to Nangong Liuli, "I heard that the second test is about understanding, right?"
"What? This is already the second game?"
"Then what's the first test?"
"Why don't we know?"
"Didn't your Nangong family invite us here to witness the test process? You actually secretly conducted the first test without telling us?"
"What exactly did you test Young Master Long in the first game? What was the result of the test?"
Before Nangong Liuli could answer, everyone around him started asking questions.
Although these questions are normal, when they fall into Nangong Liuli's ears, they are like sharp knives piercing her heart.
She felt embarrassed enough now. If these people knew the results of the test of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting just now, she didn't know how much harsh ridicule would erupt around her.
"enough!"
As if she couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly shouted loudly, "I sent out the invitation letter to invite you all to be guests, not to ridicule my Nangong family. I hope you will take care of yourself!"
Regardless of everyone's angry looks, she looked at Ye Chen again, "Can we start?"
"Whatever!" Ye Chen shrugged.
His enlightenment system is best at epiphany.
The Nangong family actually wants to test his understanding?
