The Kang Household's Son-in-Law

"How could Uncle Nanben be defeated so quickly?" Fei Enhua was shocked by the sight. It wasn't that he was no match for Fei Nanben, but he could never be as relaxed and carefree as Kang Dabao.

Among the Fei Household's True Cultivator, Fei Enhua wasn't the only one who was astonished as he was.

Immediately, discussions about "Fei Nanben being careless" and "Kang Household's son-in-law's good fortune in judging the situation" became rampant in the room.

After all, Fei Nanben's skills are not the worst among the crowd. If we belittle him too much, wouldn't that make us seem even more worthless?

"We usually treat them like fledglings, protecting them even if they get scratched or bumped. When they're out in the world, who wouldn't look up to them because of the Ying Prefecture Fei Household?"

Despite having cultivated for over a hundred years, Nanben's number of life-or-death battles might not be more than those of these borderland cultivators. Having seen so few battles, and harboring some contempt, it's not surprising that he was captured by this young sect leader in a moment of carelessness.

Upon recalling this, Fei Nanhu, dressed in a yellow robe, concealed the surprise in his eyes. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

If it weren't for the fact that his branch of the family was gradually declining within the She Mountain Hall, and his cousins were fighting tooth and nail over a Lower-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, he would never have left the prosperous capital to join the army in Liangxi and fight to the death against Demon Beast.

But this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't gone through that ordeal and honed himself into true gold, how much better off would he be than Fei Nanben, who is now staggering off the stage in a sorry state?

"My grandson has disgraced the Fei Household." Before stepping down from the stage, Fei Nanben coiled his loose hair into a bun, abandoning his previous dissolute appearance, and bowed deeply to the white-haired old woman.

"Hmm," the white-haired old woman responded indifferently to Fei Nanben's earnest apology, then closed her eyes and ignored him, letting Fei Nanben walk off the arena amidst the sympathetic and indignant gazes of the Fei Household cultivators, looking as if he had lost his parents.

"Fei Nanben's future at home was now in jeopardy."

The white-haired old woman's indifferent demeanor sent a chill down the spines of the Fei Household cultivators, and their gazes toward Sect Leader Kang Da now held a hint of shared hatred.

The latter had no worries about this. When the purple-robed elder insisted on bringing him into this small competition, he never intended to hide his talents in this competition.

These privileged children are used to their peers serving as their lackeys, so no matter how humble they humble themselves, they will only take it for granted.

If that's the case, then we might as well lay our cards on the table and have a proper battle with the Fei Household's disciples.

As long as the methods are strong enough, it won't be difficult to strip away the arrogance of these Fei Household True Cultivator!

This was both to Fei Shuhe face in the Fei Household and to save her a lot of trouble later. It seemed that She Mountain Hall would be difficult to move from Cloud Horn Prefecture. With such a powerful wife's family, Sect Leader Kang Da had never thought of severing ties with them from beginning to end.

After this battle has established my reputation, it will probably be much easier to get along with these uncles, elders, brothers, and sisters.

"My lord." The noble lady of the Fei Household used to be reserved, even on the bed she was unrestrained and not like a lady of a noble family, but Kang Dabao had never enjoyed such treatment as a little bird returning to the forest before.

This filled Sect Leader Kang Da's heart with immense satisfaction, "Indeed, a man cannot be worshipped by a woman solely because of his skills in bed."

Having won easily, he forced a serious expression in front of Fei Shuhe, feigning a deep voice and softly reassuring her, "Outsiders are watching. It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about."

Regardless of how gloomy the Fei Household cultivators were, after the battle on the Bing-character platform where Kang Dabao was located ended, the competitions on the other three platforms also came to a close one after another.

At this point, the top sixteen among the thirty-two cultivators participating in the minor competition had been determined. The purple-robed elder did not give them much time to heal their injuries; just a quarter of an hour later, Sect Leader Kang Da received another purple jade bamboo slip.

In this round, Kang Dabao's luck wasn't good; he didn't get much rest before rushing into the game. Fei Enhua, Fei Nanfeng, and Fei Nanhu, the three most prominent members of the Fei Household, had better luck in the draw, all being placed in later rounds.

Kang Dabao took a deep breath and stepped onto the B-class arena. The head referee of this arena was the handsome one-horned man who had set up the venue earlier, and also one of the close attendants of the purple-robed old man.

The unnamed member of the Fei Household treated Sect Leader Kang Da much better. After the latter took the stage, he nodded and greeted him, which showed his goodwill.

"Please!" The opponent facing Kang Dabao was a burly man; if it were Fei Wen, he would only have the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Unlike Fei Nanben, whom Kang Dabao had encountered before, Fei Wen was born into the Fei Household. Because of the outstanding achievements of his father and grandfather, he was granted the surname Fei and was not only freed from slavery, but also received only slightly less resources and treatment than the real Fei Household members.

Because of this, Fei Wen, who came from a humble background, never cared about his own life. Having experienced many battles, he now looked quite capable, with sharp eyes and Sha Qi aura.

Behind him were four Spirit Artifacts: a sword, a hammer, a mace, and a spear. They gleamed coldly and exuded a sharp, bloodthirsty aura, not just for show.

It is said that "being a jack of all trades and master of none" is a major taboo for spiritual practitioners.

For most early-stage cultivators, mastering and nurturing a Spirit Artifact is already a rare achievement, but this imposing man was clearly different from the mediocre people commonly seen in the world.

After taking the stage, he had clearly planned ahead, determined not to give Sect Leader Kang Da any chance to catch his breath in order to have a chance of winning! That's why he made his move as soon as he met the latter's face.

After hearing several sharp shouts, Kang Dabao saw four beams of spiritual light appear before him in succession.

Seeing the fierce blade energy, the sharp hammer wind, the ruthless mace light, and the alluring spear point in the arena, although these four Spirit Artifacts were not of particularly high grade, the tall and imposing man's mastery and use of them was indeed remarkable.

With some difficulty, Immortal Game Disc managed to deflect the four weapons—knife, hammer, mace, and spear—one by one. Fei Wen, having learned his lesson from Fei Nanben, dared not approach rashly. Thus, the two Golden Light that Kang Dabao unleashed were easily blocked by Fei Wen's top-grade defensive talisman, which he had kept hidden.

Kang Dabao lost the Ink Abyss Flag, Immortal Game Disc was also severely damaged, with all 361 Yin-Yang Mystic Lightning remaining. In the rush, he really had no suitable Spirit Artifact to use.

He remained calm, instead pondering to himself, "This guy was holding back earlier; he barely managed to handle that Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator with long eyebrows in the first round."

Fei Wen was unaware that Sect Leader Kang Da still had time to think. Like a shark that had smelled blood, he unleashed a barrage of weapons—knife, hammer, mace, and spear—in quick succession. The latter had no immediate reaction, only continuing to use his tattered Immortal Game Disc to defend himself. It seemed that Fei Wen had quickly put him at a disadvantage.

"That Fei Wen kid is really something!"

"Yes, yes, this kid usually keeps a low profile, I never expected him to have such amazing skills."

"If he wins this battle, he might even gain the favor of the clan elders, be fully incorporated into the Fei Household, registered in the ancestral temple, and be granted a generational name."

Fei Wen, who usually had little presence, was able to suppress the senior True Cultivator Sect Leader Kang Da, who had easily captured Fei Nanben. This was clearly beyond the expectations of the Fei Household True Cultivator below the stage.

A chorus of satisfaction immediately rang out in the arena, with the long-browed cultivator who had previously been defeated by Fei Wen shouting the loudest.

Fei Enhua's expression was rather unpleasant. As one of only two descendants of the Fei Household's She Mountain Hall in this generation to Ice Leaf Dao Foundation, he had always regarded himself as the leading figure among the younger generation of the Fei Household.

But at this time, Fei Wen, who was just a lowly son of a concubine, was making a great show of himself, which naturally displeased Fei Enhua.

However, as one of the best Foundation Establishment True Cultivator present, his eyesight was also quite good, and he couldn't fool himself.

"I am no match for him, so today Fei Wen should take all the credit. Kang Dabao was unlucky; he encountered a formidable enemy along the way, otherwise he might have gone even further. However, to be defeated by a member of our Fei Household is a victory in itself."

Fei Enhua's sigh was barely audible, yet it was clearly heard by Fei Nanhu and Fei Nanfeng beside him.

After hearing this, the former simply shook his head. "This nephew is almost useless except for his good aptitude and good luck. It's one thing if his methods are incompetent, but how can his judgment be so poor? He is far inferior to my niece Wanqing."

"Alas, the Dao Ancestor is blind! How could the Ice Leaf Dao Foundation have been born into his body?! If my cousin truly places the hopes of the next generation of the She Mountain Hall on him, I'm afraid he will hardly get what he wants."

Fei Nanfeng chuckled, his gaze towards Kang Dabao becoming even more serious.

Suddenly, Golden Light flashed in Kang Dabao's eyes, who had been taking the beating. His two Spirit Artifacts, a knife and a hammer, were struck and clanged loudly. He was sent flying away, escaping Fei Wen's Divine Sense.

The latter was not alarmed by this sudden turn of events. Instead, he took advantage of the opening revealed on the Immortal Game Disc during Sect Leader Kang Da's attack and seized the opportunity to attack.

"Clang, clang, clang." The mace and spear were slammed down by two fists the size of bowls, and as if drunk, they veered off course and fell to the ground. At the same time, the spiritual light on the two weapons of killing intent was also shaken and suddenly dispersed.

"Pfft!" Having suffered a backlash, Fei Wen suddenly realized, "Body cultivation!!"

But it was too late. The next moment, Fei Wen turned to leave, and the audience witnessed a very familiar scene.

A large hand grabbed his neck and slammed him to the ground. Before the dazed Fei Wen could react, the tips of the five short, thick fingers of the Sect Leader Kang Da glowed with a dark light. With a slight exertion, he was so domineering that Fei Wen lost all his spiritual power and could no longer fight.

Fei Wen's usually calm and composed expression immediately turned into one of bewilderment and fear, just like Fei Nanben had been earlier.

"Thank you for your concession!" Kang Dabao loosened his grip, and five even darker marks appeared on Fei Wen's already dark red neck.

"Kang Dabao wins!" The unicorn man declared decisively. Fei Wen's face was ashen, but before leaving the arena, he unexpectedly heard Fei Nanying's words of comfort, "You did well. Losing is losing. Go back and think carefully about how to win back."

Fei Nanying's words of satisfaction were genuine. Compared to Fei Nanben, who was born into the Fei Household and had been pampered and well-fed since childhood, Fei Wen Fei Nanben, who also lost cleanly and decisively, was clearly more fortunate, and his performance on the field was also quite remarkable.

If we increase our efforts in nurturing and cultivating him properly, this scion of a humble collateral branch of the Fei family may have a bright future in the Fei Household.

Upon hearing Fei Nanying's praise, Fei Wen's face flashed with surprise. But the next moment, he saw that even the elders in the distance had turned their heads to look at him, and he immediately regained his spirits.

He only maintained a dejected expression because of the atmosphere in the room.

After all, the Fei Household had just finished two battles, and Kang Dabao was not only unharmed, but he also used the same methods when he won. Even the two Fei Household True Cultivator had the same expression, which made the faces of the junior cultivators who were still present even uglier.

This son-in-law's performance seems a bit too dazzling, so dazzling that it's almost humiliating.

If, at this point in the battle, there are still Fei Household cultivators who regard Sect Leader Kang Da as a mediocre person who is trying to curry favor with higher-ups, then they would truly be letting down the Fei Household elders who have carefully nurtured them.

Fei Nanfeng and Fei Nanhu exchanged a glance, the pressure suddenly increasing.

If all the Fei Household cultivators who participated in this She Mountain Hall competition were truly suppressed by Kang Dabao, an outsider, then neither of them could imagine how furious the white-haired old woman, who always regarded the Fei Household's reputation as more important than the sky, would be after the two of them were eliminated.

With the main event over, the remaining matches in this round seemed somewhat insignificant. Fei Nanfeng and Fei Nanhu's opponents were of average skill, and the two easily advanced to the next round without much effort.

However, Fei Enhua, an Ice Leaf Foundation Establishment, was an unexpected surprise. In the first round, he was defeated by the mid-stage cultivator wielding the Ink Jade Ring Blade, whom the Sect Leader Kang Da had highly regarded, and advanced to the next round of the competition.

This cultivator was named Fei Enxing, and was the grandson of a fake alchemist master of Sheshan Hall.

With Single Spirit Root, he possessed remarkable talent and was always regarded by his elders as a pillar of the younger generation. However, he lacked luck during the Foundation Establishment, which is why he failed to become Ice Leaf.

Even so, he still managed to become a mid-stage cultivator before the age of sixty. While the hope of forming False Core in the future is slim, it is not entirely impossible.

Therefore, it is not advisable to conclude that the Fei Household's direct line is mediocre and privileged simply because of Fei Wen's outstanding performance as a member of a collateral branch of the She Mountain Hall.

"This is quite exciting. Let's take a break for a quarter of an hour and continue." The purple-robed elder nodded slightly. This time, Kang Dabao did not return to Fei Shuhe's side, but stayed at the edge of the arena, marking out a space for him to calmly recuperate.

Fifteen minutes later, Kang Dabao carefully put away another purple jade bamboo stick and stood on the arena.

This time, the white-haired old woman acting as the presiding judge revealed an undisguised look of disgust in her eyes. Sect Leader Kang Da, of course, ignored this, and was less nervous than the pale-faced cultivator opposite him who had been fortunate enough to encounter no strong enemies along the way.

This time, Kang Dabao didn't even use the Immortal Game Disc. Instead, he unleashed Golden Light and, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, quickly advanced.

Having just consumed the Jiaolong Blood Crabapple, his mastery of the Primordial Ancient Body has advanced even further. With a little more practice, advancing to the Lesser Completion stage should be a natural progression.

At that time, he will be able to learn the body cultivation techniques, instead of relying solely on his strong physique to withstand the blows as he does now.

This pale-faced monk, whose name Kang Dabao didn't even know, failed to bring his people any unexpected surprises.

After two fierce battles, he had almost no spiritual energy left, and in just a few breaths, his neck was once again in the hands of Sect Leader Kang Da.

"Ahem, Kang Dabao wins!" After the white-haired old woman finished speaking, she urged Sect Leader Kang Da to leave the arena with a cold face.

"That brat!" Fei Nanying couldn't help but laugh in exasperation at the sight. This kid was deliberately trying to embarrass the Fei Household cultivators present, using the exact same method again. Couldn't he at least use a different method?!

"Good!" It seemed that in the eyes of the purple-robed elder at this moment, once Kang Dabao's match was decided, the other matches would seem somewhat unimportant.

As expected Fei Nanfeng, Fei Nanhu, and Fei Enxing all won. Except for Fei Enxing, the youngest, who had to use some tricks due to his shallow cultivation and insufficient spiritual power, the other two won relatively easily.

Although the victory was easy, the feeling was far from relaxed.

The fourth round of the competition also began a quarter of an hour later. Fei Enxing stepped onto the stage with a sullen face, looking at the rather easygoing Sect Leader Kang Da without saying a word.

Neither Fei Nanfeng nor Fei Nanhu spoke until Fei Nanfeng finally broke the deadlock. This fifth master of the Fei Household, displaying a rather roguish air, casually declared, "Let's consider this round a victory for my cousin!"

"Fifth Brother!" Fei Nanying and shouted in a low voice as a warning.

"Elder brother, I know how capable Brother Nanhu is. This time, we're not allowed to use anything beyond the Second Tier, so why should I help outsiders and waste Brother Nanhu's spiritual power?" Fei Nanfeng replied indifferently before turning and stepping off the arena.

After stepping down from the stage, he bowed once more to Fei Nanhu, whose expression was complex, as a gesture of entrustment, and then left without waiting for the outcome.

This dashing behavior earned him the admiration of many Fei Household cultivators in the audience, who gradually reached a consensus. "Even though Nanfeng is a bit domineering in his daily actions, he still knows how to be sensible."

"Fei Nanhu wins!" Fei Nanying had barely uttered the words when the one-horned youth on the other end loudly echoed, "Kang Dabao wins!"

"Did Enxing lose so quickly?" Fei Nanying was surprised, but after seeing the scene on that arena, he was even more surprised.

The one-horned youth was seen clutching something in his hand, and he was sternly warning Fei Enxing, whose neck was already held by the Sect Leader Kang Da:

"Elder Zong has stated that items exceeding Second Tier quality are forbidden in this minor competition. Yet you knowingly violated this rule and used a talismanic artifact without authorization. Do you know your crime?!"

"Of course I know I was wrong!!" Fei Nanying exclaimed, quickly went over, and slapped Sect Leader Kang Da's fat hand away in Fei Enxing before helping Fei Enxing up. He then bowed deeply to the purple-robed elder and said, "This junior was blinded by greed, please forgive me, Elder Zong."

The purple-robed elder didn't take it seriously, waving his hand and saying, "It's alright. A strong competitive spirit is a good thing. If one truly has the mindset of an old man in his twilight years like us, then there's no point in it. However, violating the rules of the competition is unacceptable. Let's drop his ranking in this competition, have him reflect in seclusion for half a year, and then let this matter drop."

"Thank you, Elder Zong!" Fei Nanying hurriedly pulled Fei Enxing and bowed deeply. Sect Leader Kang Da was clearly not satisfied with this arrangement, but there was nothing he could do, and he just muttered something under his breath.

Fei Enxing has the temperament of a spoiled young master; he can't stand losing, so he resorts to throwing talismans at people. In Kang Dabao's eyes, this kind of behavior is somewhat wasteful.

"Young Master has won four games in a row, Miss!" Ping'er's impulsive words came at an inopportune time. As soon as she said this, Fei Shuhe felt the sharp gazes of her clansmen around her.

"This time, the son-in-law has lost his composure somewhat," Nanny Sun sighed softly. In her opinion, even if one were to win, one should do so amicably, not like Kang Dabao, who insisted on grabbing his opponent by the neck regardless of their strength.

"The final battle, Fei Nanhu versus Kang Dabao!" Fei Nanying shouted, summoning the two men, each with their own thoughts, to the stage.

With a "boom," Fei Nanhu didn't even bother to say a word to Sect Leader Kang Da. The top-grade Spirit Artifact, the Fire Venerable Seal, spun rapidly, and illusory fire dragons spiraled into the sky, obscuring half of the sky in front of Kang Dabao and scorching the surrounding Spiritual Qi until it became hot and restless.

The Blazing Flame River-Burning Art, when combined with the Fire Venerable Seal, complements each other perfectly!

Only then did the Fei Household cultivators standing by realize just how terrifying Fei Nanhu was when he was giving it his all.

Fei Nanfeng, however, had the foresight to believe that this time he would surely defeat that arrogant fellow on the stage, making him realize that there are always people more capable than himself and that one should not underestimate the talents of the world.

Unlike the previous relaxed and carefree state, the mournful cries emanating from the Immortal Game Disc caused by the ferocious dragon shadows crashing against it prompted Sect Leader Kang Da to carefully put it away.

This is a rare and top-grade defensive Spirit Artifact, not even worth mentioning in the state treasury. He was even thinking of restoring it to its original condition, so how could he bear to destroy it in an unexpected and trivial competition that had nothing to do with life or death?

After receiving the Immortal Game Disc, Sect Leader Kang Da's eyes flashed with Golden Light, shattering the two leading dragon shadows into sparks.

Just as the smell of gunpowder was rising in the arena, Kang Dabao gently touched the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and a simple-minded little beast appeared. A layer of spiritual patterns appeared on its back armor, and it barely managed to catch the two illusory fire dragons that came one after the other.

"Second Tier Venerable Alligator Softshell Turtle?!" Fei Nanhu had become familiar with most of the Demon Beast within the territory of the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty during his time in Liangxi, so it wasn't difficult for him to recognize Little Qi's background.

"Good insight!" Kang Dabao praised again. During the time he was away from Mountain-Viewing Cave, Little Qi had smoothly broken through to become a Second Tier spirit beast.

Don't underestimate it just because it's only Second-Tier Lower-Grade spirit spring. The spirit spring that helped it advance might be related to the Fourth Tier Star-Patterned Jade Spirit Turtle of True Person Xinyuan. Its nourishing effect on spirit beasts like it, belonging to the "Hidden Six" category, is simply incalculable.

Therefore, putting aside other abilities for the time being, now that Sect Leader Kang Da only needs to use it as a living shield, its effectiveness is already no less than that of the Immortal Game Disc when he first obtained it.

The fiery dragons filled the sky with imposing force, but they were all bark and no bite. They couldn't break through Little Qi's tortoise-shell spirit patterns, nor could they stop Kang Dabao's Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes.

After pondering for a while, Fei Nanhu realized that a change was needed. He quickly changed his hand seals, and the phantom images of fire dragons were sucked into the golden dragon head on top of the Fire Venerable Seal.

After this, the intense fire within the Fire Venerable Seal seemed unable to be suppressed any longer. With Fei Nanhu's light tap of his finger, the small seal, no bigger than a palm, was filled with fire energy and slammed towards Kang Dabao and Little Qi.

"Hiss!" The Little Qi, beautiful, thick tortoise shell was branded with a charred mark by the fierce Spirit Artifact, causing it to cry out in pain.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Kang Dabao's expression changed, and with a flick of his sleeve, the swarm of Lion Insect that he had been raising for some time sprang out from his wide sleeves.

The Lion Insect swarm that consumed the spiritual spring did not undergo the delightful changes that Sect Leader Kang Da had hoped for. However, as they consumed more and more Star Frost Soil, the Lion Insect swarm's numbers began to increase wildly once again.

However, some Lion Insect that have developed noble sentiments, although they have lost interest in procreation, have made some breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Now, nearly a hundred Lion Insect in Kang Dabao's insect cloud have advanced to the Second-Tier Lower-Grade spirit insects. At this time, it is just right to ask Fei Nanhu to help Sect Leader Kang Da test the quality of this brand-new insect cloud.

Unexpectedly, these little creatures with silver armor on their backs gave the unsuspecting Fei Nanhu a rude awakening the moment they appeared.

"Can withstand spiritual fire?!" Fei Nanhu's face showed a hint of surprise. These Lion Insect were actually feasting on this top-grade Spirit Artifact while braving the raging flames burning on the Fire Venerable Seal!

But in that brief moment of distraction, Sect Leader Kang Da found a flaw in his plan.

"Hiss and screech" His military experience from many years ago made Fei Nanhu extremely vigilant. He was not riddled with holes by the four Golden Light that followed. While he was still shaken, he knew that the most urgent task was to recall the Fire Venerable Seal.

"Ah," Fei Nanhu stroked the tiny crack on the Fire Venerable Seal with a touch of heartache, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

His Spirit Artifact was indeed powerful, but it had a drawback: it consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. After using it at full power for only a short while, Fei Nanhu's spiritual energy had already decreased considerably.

He thought he had already seen through his abilities and that he could take a gamble to dominate the battle, but that idea failed him.

Fei Nanhu was in poor condition, looking rather emaciated. In contrast, Kang Dabao was still full of energy.

"Doesn't this guy get tired?" Fei Nanhu chuckled to himself after saying this, and sighed. Come to think of it, how much spiritual energy could those four clansmen have possibly drained from Kang Dabao?

With the fire dragon's phantom image no longer obstructing their path, Sect Leader Kang Da, accompanied by Little Qi, sped towards Fei Nanhu.

With the Golden Light and a vast cloud of insects clearing the way, the path was clear and unobstructed. The enemy's advance was fierce and difficult to resist, but Fei Nanhu knew that he was carrying too much burden today, and even his spiritual power was exhausted, yet he had no intention of admitting defeat.

Unfortunately, if you can't win the battle, you simply can't win!

A quarter of an hour later, relying on the abundant spiritual power brought to him by the Long Breath Art and the "Green Goat Pine Discourse Scripture," and without a suitable Spirit Artifact, Sect Leader Kang Da, with the help of Little Qi and the swarm of Lion Insect, gained a great advantage in the fierce battle with Fei Nanhu.

This match was far from easy. Fei Nanhu's methods were shrewd and experienced. He did have opportunities to turn the tide, but the pragmatic and down-to-earth Kang Dabao was extremely cautious, causing all of Fei Nanhu's schemes to fail. He could only struggle and wear Kang Dabao down.

"Boom!" As Fei Nanhu, who had fought to the last moment, had passed out, the white-haired old woman felt a pang of pain on her face and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Kang Dabao." These four words sounded all too familiar to the Fei Household cultivators today, but the last sound was particularly jarring.

Are you angry?

Some.

Are you Qi Ingestion?

A little.

Is it hard to accept?

After all, Kang Dabao is the eldest son-in-law of the Fei Household, so it doesn't seem that hard to accept.

In the past, they didn't think much of this son-in-law of the Fei Household, but after being beaten up, they found his fat face much more pleasing to the eye.

Regardless, the Fei Household members had to admit, with mixed feelings, that the Fei Household's She Mountain Hall had actually won the championship in this minor competition—a complete outsider!

Not to mention the white-haired old woman's heart was filled with joy, Fei Nanying, as the She Mountain Hall, also felt somewhat ashamed.

Not everyone in the room was happy, but Ping'er, remembering her lesson from earlier, carefully whispered to Fei Shuhe, whose eyes were already brimming with tears, "Miss, Miss, our young master has won!"

Among those present, only the purple-robed State of Mind seemed to remain completely unmoved throughout. He stood up with a smile and announced loudly, "Excellent! The winner of this Fei Household She Mountain Hall mini-competition is Kang Dabao!"

Then he took the lead in doing the activity that was a must at every small competition, and loudly sang. "Congratulations to Kang Dabao!"

The hall immediately became lively. Regardless of their true thoughts, the Fei Household cultivators present dared not disobey their elder, so the hundreds of cultivators present could only join in chanting, "Congratulations to Kang Dabao!"

"Haha," the purple-robed elder laughed again. At his level, a small competition between branches was nothing more than a minor skirmish, hardly a matter of "damaging one's face."

On the contrary, they believed that using this small competition to curb the arrogance of the She Mountain Hall cultivators and serve as a warning was far more worthwhile. Even though the reward set by the patriarch for the champion of this small competition was considerable, it still didn't amount to much.

A continuous stream of outstanding young talents is what powerful families like the Ying Prefecture Fei Household cherish most.

"Kang Dabao, step forward to receive your reward!" The purple-robed elder took out a gleaming box.

Kang Dabao took a deep breath from below the stage, straightened his clothes and composed himself, and stepped forward. He glanced at Fei Shuhe before striding forward and loudly singing:

"Kang Dabao, husband of Fei Shuhe, the eldest daughter of the She Mountain Hall, who was personally appointed by the Marquis of Cloud Horn Prefecture, concurrently serving as the Jin County of Pingrong and in charge of Double Brightness County, is also the Kang Dabao. Thank you for your generous gift, Elder Xie!"

The entire room fell silent. The white-haired old woman could no longer contain herself, and even the diamond-studded stone beneath her feet cracked.

Fei Nanying chuckled and sighed, then looked at his niece, who seemed to melt away.

The old man in purple robes took in everyone's expressions, but simply smiled and said, "I remember you, my son-in-law, Kang Dabao."

Thank you for your support.
