Fang Yun'er spoke with unusual firmness.
Although she didn't understand sign language very well, she could tell what Fang Yun'er meant just by looking at her expression. The maid who was responsible for relaying the message immediately darkened her face and revealed a cold smile.
"Okay, okay, okay."
"Do as you please. Honest advice is hard to swallow. I'm just relaying a message, offering you good advice. Since you don't know how to cherish yourself, then do as you please."
"Sooner or later, you'll regret it."
She gave Fang Yun'er a cold, disdainful look, sizing her up as if assessing her worth, and finally let out an undisguised sneer.
"Anyway, I've said everything I should have said, and as for things I shouldn't have said..."
"Anyway, don't blame me for not warning you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Behind her, Fang Linlin stomped her feet in anger.
Who goes there?!
" Yun'er, don't listen to her! We won't back down, let's just piss her off!"
Fang Yun'er raised her hand and slowly grasped Fang Linlin's wrist, gently shaking her head and gesturing with her hand.
'Don't worry.'
I don't care.
I will give it my all in this big competition.
After hearing this, Fang Linlin and Fang Yu exchanged glances, and finally, Fang Linlin spoke up with a smile.
"Yes! Good! I believe Yun'er!"
" Yun'er can definitely do it!"
Even so, it was obvious to anyone that she had never believed Fang Yun'er's words.
Putting everything else aside, Fang Yun'er's talent is undeniable.
Fang Yun'er could still tell that her friends didn't believe her. She pondered for a moment but didn't offer any further explanation.
Sometimes, talent is everything.
It's normal that Linlin doesn't believe it.
She herself couldn't even speak, and her explanations were weak and feeble.
Since that's the case, let's look at the facts.
Come...
Prove that you are not what you used to be.
The next day.
The second part of the Lineage assessment, the True Martial Combat Competition, has officially begun.
This day was even more bustling than yesterday's test.
It could be said that almost all Fang Household family were present, no longer just people of the same age.
This time, not only were there prodigies who had not appeared before, but also other elders, clan leaders, and even the head of the Fang Household's main branch. All of them were present without exception.
Beside the head of the Fang Household, there was one person who particularly attracted the attention of the others.
Everyone's gaze kept drifting towards the other person.
He was an old man.
His aura was unremarkable, his appearance ordinary, and his demeanor even more unremarkable. Yet, simply by standing there, he possessed a presence that was impossible for anyone to ignore.
Of course, what's most striking is the respect the Fang Household head showed him.
In his words and actions, the head of the Fang Household clearly placed himself in a subordinate position.
Especially the old man's clothing, with its distinct patterns, proclaimed his identity to everyone—an elder of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect!
The news that a powerful figure from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect came to observe the ceremony was actually true!
Countless members of the Fang Household family cast hopeful glances toward it, their eyes filled with intense anticipation.
They all shared the same thought.
If they could be noticed by such a person, their future would be extraordinary.
Unfortunately...
They also knew in their hearts that most of them would never catch the eye of such an important figure.
This time, only the top geniuses who emerge victorious in all aspects of this assessment will have a chance to enter the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
The crowd's gazes lingered on the direct descendants on the high platform.
They basically knew in their hearts that only their direct descendants were most likely to become the ultimate winners.
but...
Many people were puzzled when they saw the second young master, Fang Hong.
Did they see it wrong?
On such a joyous day, why does Young Master Fang Hong look a little pale...?
Moreover, it wasn't just him; the woman beside him... apparently named Tong Xin, the third young lady of the Tong Household and Fang Hong's fiancée, also looked just as pale.
The crowd was puzzled.
Only Fang Hong and Tong Xin knew the reason for their expressions.
Their proposal to marry a concubine was rejected.
A proposal to expel a love rival was refuted.
It would be strange if she looked good!
The arrival of the elders from the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect was naturally a good thing, but Fang Hong could only think of that woman from a collateral branch who dared to refuse him... Was her name Fang Yun'er or Fang Yun'er again?
A fleeting thought crossed his mind, but he quickly regained his composure.
After all, given his pride, he wouldn't bother remembering the name of a mere collateral relative.
Even if the other person were to become his concubine... Oh no, now, the other person even refuses to become his concubine, content with mediocrity and depravity—how foolish!
Fang Hong took a deep breath.
'That's incredibly ungrateful!'
'She's just relying on her good looks...'
Two sentences flashed through his mind, and at the same time, he thought of Fang Yun'er's appearance. Instantly, even his greatest anger disappeared.
really.
Fang Yun'er is truly beautiful.
Reject yourself...
It doesn't matter.
It's alright.
Given his status, she was merely a lowly mute girl from a collateral branch of the family. Once the Lineage assessment was over, he would have plenty of ways to win her over.
Tong Xin, who was standing beside him, was also suppressing her anger.
She hadn't expected that Fang Yun'er, after rejecting Fang Hong, would still have the courage to reject her.
On what grounds?
How dare she, a lowly mute girl with no connections or background, dare to do that?
Could it be that they really expect to stand out in the Lineage assessment and compete with me?
The mere thought of this possibility made Tong Xin chuckle.
She genuinely didn't understand what Fang Yun'er had that made her superior.
Based on that talent with those three Divine Mark?
Utterly ridiculous!
He's just a piece of trash who's only awakened three Divine Mark, yet he dares to have such wild ideas?
She'll make that mute girl suffer!
As the thought flashed through her mind, a deep look flickered in Tong Xin's eyes.
You should know...
No matter what, she had been Fang Hong's fiancée for two years.
The Fang Household isn't entirely devoid of her.
In the past two years, she used her connections to recruit some powerful collateral relatives and made all the necessary arrangements. As the future second young mistress, it couldn't be easier for her.
Disabling Fang Yun'er would be incredibly easy.
On one side is the destined second young mistress, and on the other is just a useless collateral relative with nothing. She believes that the others know how to choose.
And as long as her plan succeeds, no matter how beautiful Fang Yun'er, once she's crippled, the second young master won't want a useless person...
If possible, it would be best to destroy that pretty face. That way, she would see what right that mute girl would have to challenge her.
Tong Xin slowly suppressed the resentment and hatred in her heart, took a small step back, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Meanwhile, the Lineage assessment has finally officially begun!
