On the high tower where the Meng Family was located, Meng Guanglin couldn't hold back anymore.

He just couldn't stand Zeng Yan, and by association, Tang Rao became an annoying little bastard in his eyes...

"Heh, such luck is unrivaled; I have to say, sometimes, dumb luck really does play a huge role. Especially for certain people." Meng Guanglin muttered.

He didn't name names, but everyone could tell that he was dissing Tang Rao and, by extension, ridiculing Zeng Yan.

Zeng Yan gave Meng Guanglin a look and didn't respond.

What's the point of responding to an idiot?

It's a shame to waste your Kai Guang peak strength, not to mention the lack of eyes and brains.

Do you think just anyone can hit a mid-Kai Guang cultivator off-balance with a cola bottle? Or grasp that extremely precise moment?

Idiot.

Seeing Zeng Yan's disdainful glance, Meng Guanglin couldn't hold back his anger, "You're just an outsider, how dare you look at me like that?!"

I am, after all, a member of the Meng Family!

"Enough, shut your mouth! Embarrassing piece of trash!" Just as Meng Guanglin was about to explode, Meng Qinhou, who was beside him, finally lost his patience.

Meng Guanglin's expression became like he had swallowed crap, puzzled as he looked at his own dad.

You're my own dad, why does it feel like you're always siding with Zeng Yan?

"Can't you use your brain for once!" Meng Qinhou bellowed, "Are you blind? Ying Zhuo is mid-Kai Guang, do you think it's just luck that sent a mid-Kai Guang cultivator sliding off the stage? Others may be dumb, but has your brain rusted too?"

Meng Qinhou was truly unsparing when scolding his own son.

"Alright Qin Hou, no need to take it so seriously," an old woman at the front of the crowd said softly.

"Yes," Meng Qinhou responded, finally ceasing his scolding.

"This is quite interesting," the old woman uttered with a mysterious look in her eyes as she watched Tang Rao.

She completely failed to gauge Tang Rao's realm. Although he hadn't released any Spiritual Energy, she should have been able to tell something, yet it was inexplicable.

...

On the battle platform, Tang Rao had already stepped down, and the second group in the competition was back on track.

However, the crowd had obviously lost interest in the match; they were still talking about Tang Rao.

As for Tang Rao, he didn't mind, smilingly watching Bo Ya who was in front of him.

Just now, when he came off the stage, Bo Ya had given him another huge hug. Even Oli and Jessica embraced him, yet the two of them combined weren't as thrilling as Bo Ya.

Tang Rao originally thought the ten-person battle would take several days, considering there were five hundred groups.

But, as it turned out, he had thought too much; the ten-person battle progressed even faster than one-on-one duels. After all, it was a melee; you might dodge one person's attack, only to have another's waiting for you.

So, by the time the sun was leaning west, all five hundred matches had ended.

There were five hundred qualifiers, and among these five hundred people, Tang Rao only recognized two, Liu Jun from earlier and Bo Ya.

Yes, Bo Ya had qualified, which was within Tang Rao's expectations.

After all, Bo Ya was in the late-Kai Guang stage.

Far cooler than that Ying Zhuo.

As for Hassen, Oli, and Jessica, all three failed. Hassen felt somewhat unlucky; he was mid-Kai Guang, but had bad luck encountering a late-Kai Guang cultivator in his ten-person battle.

There was no choice but to admit defeat.

"Come on, I'll treat you guys to drinks," Hassen called out, waving his hand, not the least bit upset about not advancing.

Everyone nodded in agreement; the day's matches were over, and it would be nice to relax a bit.

"Tang Rao!" Just as they were about to leave, a shout came from the side.

Following that, the crowd automatically parted.

A stunning figure appeared before everyone.

"Oh my God!" Hassen exclaimed excitedly, "Tang Rao... this... this is Miss Meng, from the Meng Family..."

"What is it?" Before Hassen could finish, Tang Rao rudely asked Meng Jun Qiao.

Everyone was amazed at Tang Rao's attitude. This was Meng Family's Meng Jun Qiao, why be so cool and indifferent, totally aloof.

"My grandmother wishes to see you, come with me." Meng Jun Qiao said directly.

The crowd gasped again.

Meng Jun Qiao's grandmother... isn't that...

Good heavens, what sort of relationship does Tang Rao have with the Meng Family? And with Meng Jun Qiao?

Tang Rao originally wanted to refuse, but in the end, he nodded and agreed.

He doesn't have to think about himself, but he should at least consider Zeng Yan. Zeng Yan has now joined the Meng Family; surely, he's not very welcome there.

"Hassen, you guys go ahead and drink, I'll come over later," Tang Rao told Hassen.

"Alright." Hassen nodded, not daring to look too much at Meng Jun Qiao.

Meng Jun Qiao doesn't have strong abilities or talent, but it can't be helped, she's from the Meng Family, you can't really compare.

"Miss Meng, nice to see you well," Bo Ya stepped forward, looking at Meng Jun Qiao with a calm face.

It was at this moment that Meng Jun Qiao noticed Bo Ya, her mouth agape.

"You..."

"Tang Rao, if you're mistreated at the Meng Family, come back and tell me, I'll console you," Bo Ya said with a smile, ignoring Meng Jun Qiao.

"Sure, sure, sure!" Tang Rao nodded eagerly. Bo Ya's consolation, mmm, sounds great.

...

Ten minutes later, Tang Rao followed Meng Jun Qiao into the high tower where the Meng Family was based.

The inside of the tower was pretty spacious, spiraling upwards to the top platform.

"Click." Meng Jun Qiao pushed the door open and signaled for Tang Rao to follow.

Tang Rao didn't waste any words and leaped to the top of the high tower.

To his surprise, there were many people, not just Meng Jun Qiao's grandmother.

At that moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on him.

Tang Rao almost blurted out "What are you all looking at Daddy Tang for..."

Of course, he held it in.

These were probably all the high-ranking members of the Meng Family; there should be quite a few experts among them. Offending a few was fine, but if he managed to offend them all, that would really be too much.

"Zeng Yan, you're here too." Tang Rao waved at Zeng Yan and greeted him since he only knew Zeng Yan.

Zeng Yan nodded with a trace of a smile on his face.

He wasn't worried about Tang Rao at all.

After all, this kid was not only strong, but his mind and thoughts were absolutely monstrous.

As long as he wanted to, securing a place in the Meng Family would be no difficult task.

"Tang Rao, right? Come..." An elderly woman at the front waved to Tang Rao with a kind expression.

The first person to speak up must be the most incredible here, probably Meng Jun Qiao's grandmother.

"Aiyo, hi grandma," Tang Rao grinned and called out as he walked over.

Everyone: "⊙０⊙"

Tang Rao, have you no shame, claiming relatives right off the bat, where's your pride?
