The next day, the fierce challenges were still ongoing. Since Feng Yi's test results were too mediocre, he was hardly favored by the Nangong Family. Many elders of the Nangong family didn't bother to give him a second look, and he didn't get a chance to go on stage the next day either.

Facts proved that the qualification for the challenge depended not only on status but also on personal strength. For someone like Feng Yi, who showed up uninvited and barely met the necessary standards, he was nothing but a troublemaker, showing up to meddle for no reason.

Luckily, the Nangong Family didn't bother to quibble with him on such a joyful occasion.

MD, even hidden sects shouldn't bully customers like this, Feng Yi complained in his mind while considering whether he should just teleport to find Qi'er, since waiting indefinitely seemed fruitless.

But as the old saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Since it was the Nangong Family hosting the martial arts competition for marriage, wouldn't it be rude to barge in? Sigh, better to stick to the script. As a man who sees things through, taking it one step at a time seemed like a good principle. Feng Yi thought it best to discuss strategies with Eggy.

"Dude, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should."

Little did he know, this blockhead was staring blankly at Little Beauty next to him, lost in thought… Feng Yi felt a judgmental glare all of a sudden.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at boobs, man. That girl's got a serious rack."

"What's so great about boobs? Too big and they ruin the aesthetics."

"You fool, don't you know big boobs can alleviate loneliness? When alone, one can massage them as toys to relieve boredom. And if faced with a creeper, just smother their face to suffocate them to death."

"Dude, you don't realize that smaller boobs reduce the need for fabric. You can save money to buy toys—lots and lots of toys. If faced with a creeper, you can hurl the toys in their face, killing them on the spot."

This comparison made it clear: suffocation might belong to a slow death category, but toy hurling could result in an instant fatality.

Hearing this, the dinosaur retorted angrily, "You rat, you're downright short-sighted. Haven't you heard that without fantastic bosoms, how can you captivate hearts?"

Feng Yi, unwilling to be outdone, replied, "Dude, I am awe-inspiring Feng Yi with ambitions reaching the sky, and you wouldn't understand the logic of 'no peace without flat chests'."

Thus, the man and dragon stubbornly held their ground, but then both seemed to see the reason in each other's words. They shared a smile, acknowledging a certain kindred spirit between heroes, unaware that they had completely forgotten the serious matters at hand.

Yes, indeed, Feng Yi had also been forgotten by the Nangong Family. When the stage battles had ended, he hadn't been called to perform. Initially, Feng Yi didn't even notice this, just standing there complaining with Eggy, the duo maintaining spirited energy.

As countless hopeful gazes watched, it was only when Nangong Qi first appeared that Feng Yi realized he had been completely overlooked... "Damn, seriously? After waiting all day, not even a chance to go on stage?"

Supported by maids, Nangong Qi came slowly in a flowing red dress… Her delicate makeup and long, curled lashes, though only lightly applied lip gloss and eyeshadow, actually enhanced her untainted, breathtaking aura, causing an uproar from the crowd below…

Seeing her light footsteps and graceful figure carrying a noble yet elegant demeanor, even Feng Yi couldn't help but feel electrified, his body tingling… Still, Feng Yi decided to find the right moment to say something.

Just then, the head of the Nangong Family chose the perfect moment to speak. He first thanked the guests from all directions with a beaming smile, then moved on to the main topic. As everyone knew, only three people managed to defeat the testing elders, including a top female practitioner from the Flying Sect. Thus, it was clear that the true son-in-law would emerge from among these two.

By now, Qi's appearance wasn't a surprise anymore, and she obviously had to meet eyes with her soon-to-be husband. Of course, the final battle had to take place.

It could be said that the head of the Nangong Family was very satisfied with both potential sons-in-law. One was named Hong Fei, from the ancient Xigu Family and also its young patriarch. Not only was Hong Fei gentle, scholarly, and highly talented, his strength was unfathomable. It was rumored he had touched the threshold of Rank 1. Even without revealing his true power, he had easily defeated the testing elder, and more importantly, Hong Fei had a stellar reputation, often discussed among young women.

The second, Tuo'er, the young chieftain of the Lei Qier Family, a clan listed among Rekart's top families. Besides, Tuo'er had been through countless battles, with the most famous being the Bermuda Star River Battle, currently a colonel in some military region in Rekart, with a promising career ahead. Tuo'er obviously had a slightly higher status than Hong Fei.

Both men were rare young heroes, and although there were countless young elites at the event, and the elders successfully matched some up, compared to these two, there was a clear gap in status, influence, and identity. Of course, compared to Nan Qi, both seemed to have an advantage, but to completely dismiss the unknown kid (Feng Yi), the Nangong Family evidently didn't care much about that.

Next was the gift exchange phase, also known as an opportunity to leave a preliminary impression. True to the tradition of advocating free love, gift-giving has always been a custom of the hidden sects. Although this marriage had a special flavor, it was unclear who would stand out among the two, the tradition remained unchanged.
