"Ugh, this is exhausting. I should have just taken action. It doesn't matter anyway, that Kasha would make the same choice!" Ye Lang suddenly realized he could have done something even simpler, and he cursed himself for being so stupid.

In fact, Ye Lang's approach would have been feasible, but the results would not have been as good as his. Because of this, Edward and Kasha were both glad that Ye Lang hadn't acted recklessly, otherwise, they didn't know what the consequences would have been.

"Hey Ye, don't be so arrogant. Let me take you on and we'll see who's the real deal!" someone jumped out and said coldly to Ye.

He didn't get angry, nor did he act rudely; it felt very appropriate, and he even exuded a chivalrous air. This person might not be stupid; perhaps he saw that by stepping forward at this time, he would definitely make a good impression on Kasha.

"Okay, let's go out!" Ye Lang nodded and then walked outside unhurriedly.

Stepping out of the hall, there was a courtyard the size of a basketball court, where a chaotic battle was taking place, with those who had been outside earlier now having a great time fighting.

These people didn't seem to realize that Miss Kasha hadn't come out for so long. Simply put, all that fighting was for nothing.

However, some people are observing that the people in the City Lord's Mansion need to maintain order and prevent anyone from breaking the rules, while also discovering some talented individuals.

The last point is the least important. Basically, no one thinks there are any talented people to discover here. Even if there are, they have already become someone else's people.

Surprisingly, at this time, there really was such a talented person!

This was also something that surprised Ye Lang and the others!

In this chaotic battle, one person stood out, knocking down one opponent after another. If this continued, he would surely be able to take down everyone here!

The martial arts techniques this person uses are all relatively common, the kind that everyone can access, but he is able to bring these techniques to their fullest potential, demonstrating a very solid foundation!

Whether this person is confident in their martial arts skills or simply doesn't like to think things through, and is directly engaging in a chaotic battle here, such a person is definitely a rare talent and someone worth recruiting!

This is perhaps the biggest gain for the City Lord this time. Originally, he was hoping to discover some talented people for this Bride Selection Event, which was open to all regardless of their status. However, Ye Lang ruined it, preventing most people from registering.

Fortunately, this time he was just doing it on the side and didn't care too much, otherwise he would have been furious!

"Slap slap..."

At this moment, Ye Lang seemed to have forgotten that he was supposed to fight, and he applauded for that person. Under his influence, the others also applauded.

It is truly remarkable that someone has achieved this level with such basic martial arts skills. The saying "Talented people emerge in every generation" is indeed true!

Those who were originally rivals, such as Edward Johnny, also clapped. Of course, some of them did so because they didn't want to be looked down upon or perceived as petty.

"Hehe, thank you!" the man chuckled after finishing the call, his expression quite simple and honest.

If this person is true to his word, then he would be someone many people would like to recruit. The City Lord has already instructed his subordinates that, regardless of the outcome, this person must be kept after the event.

"Uncle, you're amazing. What's your name?" Ye Lang asked the man. At this moment, Ye Lang seemed to have forgotten what he was supposed to do and just wanted to get to know this person.

Fortunately, everyone had the same goal at this time, otherwise Ye Lang would have been outmaneuvered!

"Uncle? I'm only twenty-three years old, not an uncle!" the man said, somewhat annoyed.

"What? You're only twenty-three? Are you sure you're not mistaken? It should be thirty-two!" Ye Lang replied directly, his eyes wide.

"No, I am indeed only twenty-three years old, but I look older than I am, haha..." the man said, scratching his head, a little embarrassed.

"Yes, you do look quite old! What's your name? My name is Ye Lang, nice to meet you!" Ye Lang quickly put the matter of looking old out of his mind and asked politely, extending his hand to shake hands with the man.

"My Li Shiba, it's nice to meet you." Li Shiba looked at Ye Lang for a while before replying, and hesitated for a moment before finally shaking hands with Ye Lang.

This is also because Li Shiba rarely comes into contact with nobles and feels that nobles are the kind of people who cannot be approached. He also dislikes nobles. However, he feels close to Ye Lang and at least does not feel repulsed by him.

If that's the case, why did Li Shiba come here? It's because of his mother. His mother wanted him to come here and marry the city lord's daughter, so that he could live a life of comfort and become a nobleman!

Before coming here, Li Shiba was a construction worker, that's right, just an ordinary construction worker in the city!

Li Shiba is different from others; he is very hardworking!

Martial arts? This isn't unique to Li Shiba; other people also possess these skills!

That's right, anyone can know these common martial arts skills. Back then, Li Shiba wanted to be stronger so he could go out and work, so he started practicing Battle Qi arts skills to improve his physical fitness from a young age.

At that time, he was only eight years old, and he had already started earning money to support his family! He had several brothers and sisters to take care of, and as the eldest, he had to shoulder that responsibility.

Children from poor families mature early...

This might be why he looks older!

The reason why Li Shiba's high martial arts talent went undiscovered was because he himself was completely unaware that it was a talent; he thought it was just an ordinary thing.

This time, he was just trying his luck and didn't have any hope for himself. If the City Lord recruited him and gave him good treatment, he would be much happier than if he had married Kasha.

"Li Shiba, your martial arts foundation is quite good. What you lack is not advanced martial arts techniques, but the application of these basics. With your style, I think battlefield martial arts will suit you! This book, the Azure Dragon Combat Skill, is something I bought a long time ago. I'm giving it to you!" Ye Lang felt that Li Shiba was to his liking, so he gave him a secret manual that he had bought at a high price.

"Thank you, but no need! This must be very valuable, I can't afford it! I wanted to buy it before, but the cheapest one costs a Silver Coins, and I couldn't bring myself to do it!" Li Shiba chuckled.
