Long Haotian immediately felt awkward.Because things were not proceeding the way he had imagined.
In fact, they were progressing in the exact opposite direction.
Originally, after revealing his cultivation, he had expected a completely different reaction from Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
Shock!
Admiration!
Excitement!
Perhaps even gratitude.
Instead, Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan were still staring at him as though he were some annoying pest that had wandered into their duel.
Not a single trace of admiration could be seen on either woman’s face.
If the two of them were pretending, then they deserved the best actress award.
Long Haotian’s brow twitched slightly.
(It shouldn’t be like this...)
He was genuinely confused.
Back in the Central Glorious Continent, countless women chased after him.
There were daughters of powerful clans and prestigious sects.
Whenever his identity and cultivation were revealed, most people immediately changed their attitude.
They became respectful and would practically throw themselves into his arms.
As a result, Long Haotian had never actually learned how to pursue women.
There had never been any need.
His background alone was enough.
And if not that, then he also possessed top-tier talent.
So now, for perhaps the first time in his life, none of his usual methods were working.
Long Haotian found himself at a complete loss.
If those things failed...
Then what exactly was he supposed to do?
He genuinely had no idea.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly reached a conclusion.
(They must be embarrassed.)
His eyes brightened slightly.
That had to be it!
There was simply no other explanation.
After all, how could women not be moved by someone like him?
The problem definitely wasn’t him.
It had to be them.
Perhaps they were shy about accepting his confession because there were too many people watching.
The more Long Haotian thought about it, the more reasonable it sounded.
Meanwhile, Bai Xueqing’s expression grew increasingly cold.
If she knew what Long Haotian was currently thinking, she would probably stab him immediately.
Beside her, Chu Ziyan was no different.
The two women exchanged a glance.
Neither bothered concealing their disgust.
In fact, their feelings were becoming more obvious by the second.
The man had interrupted their duel.
Insulted them.
Ignored their rejection.
Acted as though they were possessions.
And somehow still believed he was doing them a favor.
Their impressions of him had already dropped below zero.
Unfortunately, Long Haotian completely failed to understand.
Instead, he smiled confidently.
"As expected."
He nodded to himself.
"You don’t need to be embarrassed."
Long Haotian continued speaking.
"I understand!"
His tone was unusually gentle.
"You’ve probably never met someone as great as me before."
The disciples nearly choked.
Just what made him think that?
They didn’t know just how much one needed to be thick skinned to be so narcissistic.
Chu Ziyan’s eyelids twitched.
Bai Xueqing’s grip on her sword tightened.
Yet Long Haotian remained completely oblivious.
Bai Xueqing finally spoke. Her voice was colder than ice.
"Are you done?"
Long Haotian blinked.
His eyes immediately lit up.
"So you agree?"
His tone even carried a hint of excitement.
As though he had finally received the answer he wanted.
Bai Xueqing stared at him.
For a brief moment, she genuinely wondered whether this man understood the language she was speaking.
The veins on her forehead almost twitched.
If Long Haotian had not possessed Immortal Realm cultivation and two Immortal Realm protectors standing behind him, she would have already rushed forward and slapped him several times.
Bai Xueqing was not foolish. She knew very well that she was no match for him.
Thus, she could only suppress her anger.
Though her voice became even colder.
"Agree? I am rejecting you."
She pointed toward Chu Ziyan.
"Ziyan is already engaged."
Then she pointed toward herself.
"And I have no intention of marrying anyone."
Her rejection could not have been any clearer.
Unfortunately, Long Haotian’s expression immediately darkened.
His previously cheerful mood vanished.
"Engaged?"
His eyes narrowed.
"To whom?"
It seems like finally something has entered his brain.
The tone in his voice was unpleasant.
Very unpleasant!
"Is he stronger than me?"
"Hmph! An engagement is merely an engagement. It can be canceled."
His tone sounded extremely natural.
As though canceling someone else’s engagement was no different from deciding what to eat for lunch.
Then his eyes flashed coldly.
"And if he refuses, I’ll simply teach him a lesson until he agrees."
For the first time in years, Bai Xueqing felt that there was someone more arrogant than Bai Zihan.
But even Bai Zihan had never managed to make her feel this level of disgust.
Bai Xueqing realized something.
Talking to Long Haotian was completely pointless.
At this point, she could only wait for the Sect Grand Elders to appear.
Otherwise, this farce would likely continue forever.
Just then—
A loud voice suddenly echoed from the audience.
"If you’re asking who it is, then I can tell you!"
Everyone turned toward the source.
His face was filled with excitement.
The disciple pointed toward Chu Ziyan.
"Senior Sister Chu’s fiance is Bai Zihan, the younger brother of Bai Xueqing!"
The entire arena immediately became noisy again.
They knew why the person had decided to answer Long Haotian’s question.
Because he was from the Shen Clan.
Everyone knew about the hatred between the Shen Clan and Bai Zihan.
Shen Liang had been crippled by Bai Zihan, and Bai Zihan had also publicly humiliated them.
Not to mention, Bai Zihan had significantly weakened the Shen Clan’s influence within the Heaven Sword Sect until a new Sect Leader was appointed.
The Shen Clan knew they couldn’t defeat the Bai Clan.
But that didn’t mean the hatred had disappeared.
Now that someone was looking for trouble with Bai Zihan, how could the Shen Clan pass up such an opportunity?
Although he didn’t recognize Long Haotian, one could tell that he got incredible background.
Even if he couldn’t do anything to Bai Zihan, just making trouble for them was good enough.
The Shen Clan disciple wasn’t finished.
He pointed toward Bai Xueqing next.
"And Senior Sister Bai once publicly declared something as well. Senior Sister Bai said long ago that if anyone wishes to marry her, they must first defeat her younger brother!"
The moment those words fell, Long Haotian immediately brightened.
If it was simply defeating someone, then that was easy.
Moreover, after learning that it involved defeating Bai Xueqing’s younger brother, he thought it would be even easier.
Since Bai Xueqing was already unparalleled in talent, he subconsciously assumed that Bai Zihan’s cultivation must be lower than hers.
Not only could that fulfill the condition to marry Bai Xueqing, but he could also force Bai Zihan to break his engagement with Chu Ziyan.
He suddenly felt that things had become very easy and convenient.
(I shouldn’t be too harsh on him though.)
Long Haotian thought generously.
After all, if everything went according to plan, Bai Zihan would become his brother-in-law.
Naturally, he should show some mercy and give him some face.
Of course, that was assuming Bai Zihan obediently canceled the engagement.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to teach him a harsh lesson.
One shouldn’t covet the women that he has eyes on!
Thinking of this, Long Haotian almost laughed.
He truly felt that he was being exceptionally benevolent.
Meanwhile, Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan looked at him as though he had lost his mind.
Long Haotian, however, didn’t seem to notice those gazes.
Instead, he turned toward Bai Xueqing.
"Is it true?"
His eyes were shining.
"..."
Bai Xueqing remained silent.
Her expression did not change. However, inwardly, she felt somewhat helpless.
Back then, she truly had not thought much about making that statement.
Why would she?
Within the Desolate Heaven Empire, there was practically nobody among the younger generation capable of defeating Bai Zihan.
Even many older cultivators would struggle.
As for those ancient Immortal Realm experts who had lived for thousands of years?
They obviously would not shamelessly run over to challenge Bai Zihan simply to marry her.
And even if some old lunatic actually tried such a thing, she could simply reject him based on age alone.
With her status and background, who would dare force the issue?
Unfortunately, reality always found ways to surprise people.
Who could have imagined that a young Immortal Realm cultivator would suddenly appear?
Seeing Bai Xueqing remain silent, Long Haotian’s smile widened.
In his eyes, silence was basically confirmation.
However, before he could say anything further, several voices suddenly rang out from the audience.
"It’s true!"
"Senior Sister Bai really said that!"
"I was there when she said it!"
"Everyone in the Desolate Heaven Empire knows about it!"
...
While many admired Bai Xueqing, not everyone did.
Just like those from the Shen Clan, there were people who disliked her for various reasons.
Clan conflicts.
Personal grudges.
Jealousy.
And many other reasons.
Now that there was an opportunity to make things difficult for Bai Xueqing and Bai Zihan, they immediately jumped at the chance.
Upon hearing confirmation from so many people, Long Haotian laughed again.
"Hahaha!"
His laughter echoed throughout the arena.
Excellent!
Truly excellent!
This was even easier than he had imagined.
He looked toward Bai Xueqing.
Then toward Chu Ziyan.
"In that case, the matter is settled."
His tone sounded as though everything had already been decided.
"I’ll defeat Bai Zihan. Then you, Bai Xueqing, must marry me!"
His gaze shifted toward Chu Ziyan.
"And after that, I’ll have him cancel his engagement with you as well."
