A Win-Win

Su Ji was driven mad by these words. Becoming a Martial Master in the King Realm was such an honorable achievement; it would bring a massive boost to one's status and prestige, earning respect from everyone.

Yet, her own mother actually felt that her sister becoming a King Realm expert was a terrible thing, fearing it would hinder her sister from getting married and turn her into an aging spinster.

However, she had to admit that her mother's worries were indeed valid.
