A Childhood Engagement with the Campus Belle?

Old Man Black chuckled.

"That doesn't even need thinking about; the one insisting on the arranged marriage is definitely the Su Family brat!"

"Oh, that would be your future father-in-law."

"He had a deep bond with your father, a life-and-death brotherhood. Even though your father has sacrificed himself, he refuses to break his promise to him."

"So, he is bound to insist on this arranged marriage."

Ye Xiao thought of something and asked.

"Then what is Su Muyun's stance on this?"

"Does she support the arranged marriage, or is she against it?"

Old Man Black gave Ye Xiao a meaningful look.

"The Su Family is far larger than you can imagine!"

"They are a bona fide family of Transcendents. Someone like Su Muyun's father only holds a mid-level status within the Su Family."

"In a family like this, every action taken is done to maximize the family's interests."

"Su Muyun might not even have the chance to make her own decisions!"

Ye Xiao understood what Old Man Black meant.

So, Su Muyun was in a bad mood and treated him with such cold indifference.

Was it because she was resisting this arranged marriage?

"Kid, even though you're just an E-rank Martialist, I have to say, you've got damn good luck."

"The Su Family girl is so beautiful, and she has high talent and a great profession; barring any accidents, she'll be a Transcendent in the future."

"If you marry her, you'll even gain the resources and support of the Su Family!"

Ye Xiao listened to Old Man Black's words.

A helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face.

Did Old Man Black really not know, or was he just playing dumb?

With a Transcendent family like the Su Family.

How could they ever allow their own woman to marry an E-rank Martialist?

It was like.

Asking a king's daughter to marry the lowest-ranking peasant.

It was a fantasy that only existed in fairy tales!

"Old Man Black, stop teasing me."

"Right now, I only want to cultivate; I don't want to get dragged into these family disputes."

After clarifying his own heart, Ye Xiao voiced his thoughts.

Old Man Black's eyes brightened slightly.

"Ye Xiao, that statement makes me think a little higher of you."

This was the first time Old Man Black had spoken to Ye Xiao with such seriousness.

Ye Xiao felt it was quite peculiar.

But the very next sentence brought him right back to reality.

"Though, only a tiny bit higher." He held up a pinky finger to gesture.

Ye Xiao was speechless.

Old Man Black burst into laughter.

"Kid, cultivation is the eternal path to power!"

"Your fists are your only passport!"

"If you want to marry Su Muyun, if you want the entire Su Family to acknowledge you."

"Talking is useless."

"You have to use your fists!"

Ye Xiao smiled.

"Old Man Black, who said I definitely have to marry Su Muyun?"

"What if, in the future, I meet a woman even more outstanding and beautiful than Su Muyun?"

At this moment.

Old Man Black's expression turned serious in a way he had never been before.

He spoke with absolute gravity.

"Kid, you didn't originally have a special admission quota, you know that?"

"Huh?"

"It was Su Muyun's father who pulled every string he had to get it for you!"

"Wasn't it because of my father's status as a martyr?"

"Even your father's status as a martyr was something Su Muyun's father helped secure."

"..."

"Su Muyun's father is so insistent on marrying his daughter to you because he wants to use that connection to protect your life and safety for as long as you live! Do you understand?"

"..."

"Kid! So, even if you don't like Su Muyun, one day you must stand tall and upright before her father, kowtow to him, and thank him for everything he has done, you hear me? The debt your father owed him is one you must repay to his daughter in the future!"

"I understand..."

"Kid! I hope I haven't misjudged you; you had better not be a cowardly wretch who fears death! The truth behind your father's death and the responsibilities you must shoulder! You had better start thinking clearly about them soon."

"Old Man Black, do you know how my father died?"

"...It's too early to talk about that now. When you possess the strength of the Seventh Realm, I will tell you."

"The Seventh Realm... in three thousand years, the strongest Martialist has only ever reached the Seventh Realm..."

"You won't become the strongest Martialist in three thousand years, and you have even less right to speak of revenge! Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Now get out of here and go get some sleep. Back to practicing your punches tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Ye Xiao left the Gravity Tower.

He remained silent the entire way, reflecting on everything Old Man Black had told him.

The information was dense and overwhelming, constantly clashing with Ye Xiao's existing memories.

So, Su Muyun and I have this kind of connection.

Old Man Black knows the truth about my adoptive father's death.

My family owes Su Muyun's father a massive debt that I must repay in the future.

Who exactly is Old Man Black? Why does he know so much?

Stop thinking about it. Go back, rest, and keep practicing punches tomorrow!

When Ye Xiao returned to the dormitory.

He found that Fatty Wang was not training.

Instead, he was clutching his phone.

His expression was incredibly fierce, his fingers hammering against the screen as if he were in the middle of an online flame war.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice Ye Xiao had returned.

Ye Xiao leaned in behind Fatty Wang to see what he was doing.

Post Title: <Monster Freshman Spotted at Gravity Tower! Martialist E-rank, tanking 10x gravity zone!>

[Floor 3521]: Lin Yun is a moron! Just a clown jealous of Ye Xiao!

[Floor 3522]: The post has been updated, Ye Xiao can now tank the 20x gravity zone!

[Floor 3523]: Someone spotted Ye Xiao training in the 20x gravity zone!

[Floor 3524]: Heh, Lin Yun, Ye Xiao is already training in the 20x zone while you're still here arguing with me on the forum. What face do you have to mock him?

[Floor 3525]: What a joke! I'm already at the Gravity Training Tower, but it's too late and they've closed. Tomorrow morning, I'll show you what a real genius is!

[Floor 3526]: Hahahaha! Lin Yun, you did that on purpose, didn't you? You knew the Gravity Tower would be closed at night and picked that time to go.

[Floor 3527]: Bullshit! I've already hired a master hacker. Just wait, I'll have your real identity doxxed in no time!

[Floor 3528]: You think I'm scared of you? You pathetic clown!!!

[Floor 3581]: I found your real identity! Freshman, Ordinary Class 9, Wang Hou! I never expected the fatty next to Ye Xiao to be you! I should have guessed it sooner. You've got some nerve to challenge me! Just wait, I'm coming to your dorm to have a chat with you right now!

At this point.

Fatty Wang's face changed, and he put down his phone.

He looked up and found himself staring straight into Ye Xiao's face.

"Brother Xiao, we're screwed."

"That dog Lin Yun actually managed to hire a hacker to doxx me!"

"What do we do?"

Ye Xiao scanned the contents of the post, witnessing how Fatty Wang had stubbornly gone back and forth with Lin Yun for thousands of replies just to defend him.

He patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Why fear him?"

"Fatty, you must remember, you are also at the Professional Third Realm now."

"That Lin Yun is also at the Professional Third Realm."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang felt as if he had swallowed a reassurance pill.

"Brother Xiao, you're right! My realm is the same as his, why should I fear him?"
