The simple phrase "I'll take it" caught the attention of many among the group of direct descendants.
The man who spoke did not change his expression at all.
However, the man next to him looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Hong, are you really...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.
Fang Hong, the man who spoke first, remained indifferent, seemingly unaware of any problem with his words, and unperturbed by the man's hesitant manner.
He casually fiddled with the gold thread on his cuff, his tone brimming with arrogance.
"Such a woman, with her stunning beauty, naturally deserves a worthy man."
"If she doesn't do well in the competition, I will bring her to Azure Wave to be my concubine, and our whole family will share in wealth and glory."
Given his status, he was naturally able to say such a thing.
After all, he was the second son of the main branch of the family.
Not only is their status noble, but their strength is also formidable.
He didn't lower his voice at all when he said this.
After he spoke, many people around him raised their eyebrows in surprise. They knew that even becoming their concubine was an unparalleled honor for some of the collateral branches of the family.
Many people around looked in Fang Yun'er's direction, and their eyes were filled with a hint of envy.
Only the woman in red standing to Fang Hong's left suddenly turned extremely pale the moment he opened his mouth to speak.
Her slender hands clenched tightly, her fingertips digging into her palms, leaving several white marks, but she didn't care at all, she just couldn't help gritting her teeth and speaking.
Even if that woman is mute?
Many people witnessed the argument between Fang Yun'er and Fang Zhenyu in the audience just now.
For their direct subordinates, they don't need to say anything or give any indication. As long as they show the slightest interest, countless people will fawn over them and try every means to bring them the information they want.
Fang Yun'er companions' identities, backgrounds, and information had already been laid bare before them.
Therefore, they also learned that Fang Yun'er was mute.
Many people felt it was a great pity when they learned about this.
After all, such a beautiful woman was mute and her soul was incomplete.
That's such a pity.
Faced with this question again, Fang Hong gave no answer.
He merely glanced at the woman who had spoken.
" Tong Xin, you've overstepped your bounds."
Those six short words struck the woman's heart with a powerful jolt.
Her face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth, swallowing back all her resentment.
But it's just swallowing it, not resolving it.
A sense of resentment and discontent lingered in her heart, coalescing into a single sentence.
On what grounds?
Yes, why should we?
She was clearly Fang Hong's rightful fiancée!
How could he so brazenly declare in front of me that he wanted to take another woman as a concubine?
But...
In Azure Wave City, there are only the Fang Household, the Qin Household, and the Zhang Household.
There is no Tong Household.
The Tong Household can only be considered a second-rate Lineage in Azure Wave City.
Not to mention that Fang Hong is the eldest son of the second branch of the Fang Household. If she weren't so talented, she would never have been eligible for this marriage.
So now, even if the other party immediately says they want Fang Yun'er to marry into the family, she can't react on the spot.
However, the resentment in one's heart will eventually find an outlet.
Tong Xin bit her lower lip tightly, tasting the blood in her mouth. Her upturned phoenix eyes stared straight at Fang Yun'er, who had placed her palm on the divine stone, filled with endless resentment and killing intent.
Fang Yun'er seemed to sense something, but she was too nervous to pay attention.
She took a deep breath and pressed her palm down forcefully.
The elder beside him didn't even bother to glance at him, and spoke indifferently.
" Jinglan City, Fang Yun'er, Divine Mark... three marks, qualified."
qualified...
Fang Yun'er stared blankly at the divine stone in front of her, her hand trembling slightly.
Three Divine Mark.
The third light was noticeably dimmer, but it had indeed come to life.
Not two and a half.
Instead, there are three paths.
qualified.
She passed.
The pale white hand seemed to be suddenly awakened, abruptly withdrawing and quickly leaving the area of the divine stone.
Two streams of hot tears flowed down Fang Yun'er's fair cheeks.
At that moment, Fang Yun'er covered her lips with her hand and burst into tears.
Her shoulders trembled, like a delicate willow Fufeng, making one feel incredibly sorry for her.
Although the Fang Household values strength above all else, many people still sighed upon seeing this scene.
"Three paths are indeed a bit too weak."
"Yes, if she were a little taller, with her looks alone, the Zhang and Qin families would certainly be willing to form a marriage alliance."
"What a pity, no matter how good-looking you are, it's useless without talent."
"It's such a pity. Judging from her appearance, she must have suffered a blow... It's heartbreaking to see a beautiful woman in tears. Unfortunately, no one can determine the nature of talent."
"..."
A group of people talked and talked, but not a single one of them got to the point.
No one knew that there wasn't a trace of sadness in Fang Yun'er's tears.
All that remained was overwhelming joy and excitement.
Three!
She passed!
Under Lin Xuan's tutelage, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, but her natural talent remained largely unchanged.
She had initially thought that she wouldn't be able to pass the test given her talent!
But now that three Divine Mark have lit up, it means she has the qualifications to participate in the competition. As long as she wins a place in the competition, she can change her mother's and her own current situation in the Fang Household.
She had imagined this scene for countless years.
"Ugh--Ugh!"
Fang Yun'er was so excited that she spoke subconsciously, letting out a few sobs. She tightly held the hands of Fang Linlin and Fang Yu beside her, her eyes filled with joy.
At the same time, I also feel a little regretful.
Unfortunately, outsiders are not allowed to participate in the Lineage's assessments.
Otherwise, she really wanted to share her joy at this moment with her master.
but...
Fang Yun'er's eyes crinkled into a smile.
Although she had to tell her master later, she believed that her master would be happy to hear the news.
Fang Yun'er was overjoyed to have successfully passed the talent test.
Even though she was constantly being stared at by Fang Zhenyu and the others with unfriendly eyes, it didn't dampen her happiness.
After returning to Black Robe Lane after the test, Fang Yun'er remained in a good mood, listening to Fang Linlin chattering about the day's events.
Even though she was completely unsure of herself about going into battle tomorrow, she didn't let the smile fade from her face.
However, this smile only lasted until a group of people carrying a red sandalwood box walked up to her, opened the box to reveal countless rare treasures inside, and then vanished without a trace.
The Cultivation Resources that would delight others couldn't earn Fang Yun'er even the slightest bit of a good look.
Not only her, but Fang Linlin beside her also shut her mouth instantly, her expression frighteningly ugly.
Fang Yu's face turned ashen.
after all.
Red chrysanthemum wood is the most common auspicious wood for weddings in the Central Continent.
