Chapter 418: Chapter 286 Goddess Iceberg Changed_2

“What gift??” Liu Wentian asked curiously.

Sheng Qianmei, her face red as a monkey’s butt, stood up, put on her slippers, and walked to the door before turning back and saying, “A gift that will make you a real man!”

After finishing, she walked out the door with her face still red.

“What?? What real man?? I am already a real man!” Liu Wentian shouted. But Sheng Qianmei had already disappeared, and there was no way she could hear him.

In frustration, Liu Wentian thought, What is this all about? It’s like teasing me and then running away, better not to tease at all!!

…

The Xiang Family courtyard.

At this moment, several key members of the Xiang Family gathered together, with Xiang Huowu notably among them.

“Little Duo, did you say that kid wouldn’t sell us his Martial Skill? Hmph! In my opinion, why trouble ourselves? Just snatch it from him, great deeds don’t dwell on the trifles!” an elder with fierce eyes said annoyedly.

“Uncle Ping, don’t be angry. This man possesses such Martial Skills and still dares to refuse us once he knows it’s the Xiang Family who wants to buy, there must be some background worth considering,” said a handsome, refined-looking middle-aged man who exuded an authoritative aura without anger.

This middle-aged man was none other than the head of the Xiang Family, Xiang Changtian, the strongest in the family and known as the number one person in the Ancient Martial World of the province, as well as Xiang Huowu’s father!

The elder was Xiang Pingning, a senior elder of the Xiang Family!

Xiang Huowu had brought back the news that Liu Wentian refused to sell his Martial Skill, which annoyed several members of the Xiang Family. They thought Liu Wentian was foolish and disgraceful for not taking the offer!

How dare he refuse an offer proposed by the Xiang Family!!

Seeing the family head spoke, Xiang Pingning didn’t continue shouting, but he still expressed his displeasure reluctantly, “Family head, are we really going to let him be so rampant? In our province, is there anyone who has the right to say no when the Xiang Family wants something? We can’t just let this go, can we?”

“Uncle Ping, rest assured, of course we will get what we want,” Xiang Changtian nodded and said, “Isn’t the Zhou Family planning to deal with him at the Martial Path Tournament? Since that’s the case, we will assist the Zhou Family for now, giving him a lesson, but make sure he survives until he hands over his Martial Skill; as long as he doesn’t die, crippling his limbs or something is not a big deal.”

His tone was casual but exceedingly dominant, as if Liu Wentian’s life and death were in his hands to decide.

Xiang Huowu pursed her lips at the side, ultimately remaining silent because the matter concerned the family’s interests, and her opinions wouldn’t matter.

If only he wasn’t so ignorant of his precarious situation. Xiang Huowu sighed internally, hoping he’d at least remain alive.

However, she also knew, with the Xiang Family’s help, even if Liu Wentian survived, he would barely have half a life left!

In the following days, the atmosphere within the Sheng Family was quite gloomy. Although Elder Leng had decided to stand with Liu Wentian and took him to the Martial Path Tournament, the rest of the family complied but clearly didn’t think Liu Wentian could contend with the Zhou Family, nearly everyone wore an anxious and frightened expression.

Previously, some people from the Ancient Martial World used to visit, but these past few days, it had been as deserted as if plague-stricken.

In between, Elder Leng took some people to visit several Ancient Martial Arts Families, but either the family head wasn’t in, or they plainly refused to open the door. At first, everyone was unclear about what was happening, but later they realized it was because the Zhou Family had spread word that they would confront the Sheng Family at the Martial Arts Tournament. Anyone too close to the Sheng Family was deciding to be an enemy of the Zhou Family.

Being a top-tier Ancient Martial Arts Family in the province with a Warrior King and now allied with the Xiang Family, the Zhou Family, in the eyes of many, was not something the Sheng Family could compete with. Fearing trouble, naturally, no one dared to maintain contact with the Sheng Family anymore!

Once the Sheng Family members understood this, they were shocked and angry, with many people heavily sighing in despair and seeming quite pessimistic.

In this oppressive atmosphere, the day of the Martial Path Tournament finally arrived!!

This day was a festival for the Ancient Martial practitioners in the province. Younger members aimed to make a name for themselves, and meanwhile, various families competed to vie for interests!!

The venue for the tournament was enclosed and as large as two football fields; entering required registering the family’s name, and non-members of the Ancient Martial World could not enter.

Liu Wentian, along with others from the Sheng Family, arrived early.

Most people arriving were dressed in loose martial arts attire suitable for combat, except for a very few overly confident individuals. Liu Wentian was among these exceptions.

Although he did not wear the suit from a few days ago, he was dressed in casual clothes, looking very relaxed.

Liu Wentian and others, like Sheng Qianmei, followed Elder Leng into the venue, entering in a grand procession. If one looked closely, one could see many young members of the Sheng Family with worried expressions on their faces.

Sheng Qianmei clenched her fists, appearing calm on the surface, yet her tightly pursed lips betrayed her internal concerns.

Liu Wentian smiled and took her small fist in his hand.

Sheng Qianmei turned to look at him and let out a smile, feeling a bit embarrassed by his handholding, but it eased some of her worries.

Upon entering the venue, the sight of numerous fighting rings was revealed; there was one for each family. After all, Ancient Martial Arts Families are quite rare these days, but in the province, there were still about twenty, and if each one had a ring, the tournament would take days and nights to complete.
