Nowadays, both Nangong Yuan and Zhuge Lantian stood up, eyes full of mockery as they looked at Xiao Tianyu, what was the point of defeating them? In the end, didn't he still get kicked out by Xiao Yuanshan?

The future son-in-law of the Xiao Family would eventually be chosen from the two of them, as for Xiao Tianyu, he had no hope left at all.

"Truly pathetic!" Nangong Yuan's voice was filled with arrogance as he continued, "Do you know why Clan Leader Xiao didn't choose you? Even if you were the victor in the end!"

"Is there even a need to ask? Of course, it's because he has no background at all. What's more, after today's battle, he killed Ouyang Jing, Long Yan, and Baili Changfeng. Would these three major families let him go?"

"That's true!" Nangong Yuan nodded with interest, "If the Xiao Family chose him, it would mean offending the Ouyang Family. Would the Ouyang Family let the Xiao Family go? Moreover, probably soon the Xiao Family will have to hand over the murderer. By then, it would not just be pathetic, it would be tragic and heroic!"

"..."

Their voices continued to echo, with sarcasm evident in their words.

But Xiao Tianyu's expression was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't take their words to heart at all.

In the crowd, Liu Lao and Mo Hanshan glanced at Zhuge Lantian and Nangong Yuan, revealing a trace of sadness. Others might not understand who Xiao Tianyu was, but they knew very well.

"If you don't seek death, you won't die!" Liu Lao sighed, and Mo Hanshan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the leading figure of the Ouyang Family stood up, looking at Xiao Yuanshan coldly, and said, "Now that the Young Clan Leader of our Ouyang Family has been killed in the evaluation, we still need Clan Leader Xiao to give an explanation to our Ouyang Family!"

These words were quite imposing, with Ouyang Jing dead; they naturally wanted an explanation.

However, after the Ouyang Family took the lead, powerful figures from the Baili Family and the Long Family stood up and said to Xiao Yuanshan, "We hope that Clan Leader Xiao will hand over the murderer later, otherwise, our two families won't let it go either!"

"Everyone, rest assured, I, Xiao Yuanshan, will make a decision!"

"Good!" The strong figures from the two families nodded one after another and then sat down.

After listening to this conversation, many people's eyes fell back on Xiao Tianyu. It was clear from their exchange that they discerned the Xiao Family's intent to hand Xiao Tianyu over to the major families for them to deal with.

The only blame was that Xiao Tianyu had no background. If today Xiao Tianyu were the proud son of some top-level family, would these people dare to hold him accountable? Naturally, they wouldn't dare.

Then, Xiao Yuanshan glanced at Duanmu Lanshan beside him: "Go bring Ziyan out!"

"Okay!" Duanmu Lanshan nodded.

Before leaving, she glanced at Xiao Tianyu, always feeling a connection to him but could not figure out why she had such a feeling.

Soon, Xiao Ziyan appeared beside Xiao Yuanshan under the guidance of Duanmu Lanshan, accompanied by several strong figures from the Xiao Family, with Duanmu Lanshan also beside Xiao Ziyan.

At this time, Xiao Ziyan, dressed in a phoenix coronet and a wedding robe, still looked noble and unparalleled, yet her face showed slight signs of fatigue, she had obviously cried not long before.

Seeing Xiao Ziyan, many young heroes felt a twinge of pity. Such a high-and-mighty princess should not be subject to family arrangements but ought to have her own choices.

"Has my big brother still not come?" Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes scanned the crowd, and finding no masked youth among them, she felt a hint of disappointment in her heart.

She wished that at this moment, the masked youth would stand before her, sheltering her like a shield, protecting her in his embrace, allowing no one to bully her.

But all of this had already turned into a bubble.

"Now I formally announce the final result!" At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan's voice resonated: "For the son-in-law selection of the Xiao Family..."

"Wait..." Xiao Tianyu suddenly spoke: "Have you asked if Ziyan is willing?"

"..." What was happening?

With these words, many present were stunned. Did this guy still harbor fantasies?

Even Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes fell upon Xiao Tianyu. When she saw him give her a slight smile, like a spring breeze, it made her feel a sense of warmth and an unusual connection.

"The parents' will and the matchmaker's words, since Ziyan was born into the Xiao Family, naturally her lifelong affairs should be arranged by the Xiao Family!" Xiao Yuanshan's voice was bright and clear, echoing in everyone's ears as he continued, "Today, I hereby announce..."

"Ziyan, do you like them?" However, Xiao Yuanshan's words were interrupted again by Xiao Tianyu, making Xiao Yuanshan's expression show a trace of displeasure, which Xiao Tianyu ignored.

He continued speaking to Xiao Ziyan, "I assure you that as long as you do not want it, no one is qualified to force you!"

"As long as you do not want it, no one is qualified to force you!" These words echoed fiercely in Xiao Ziyan's mind. This... where have I heard this sentence before, big brother? Is it really you?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ziyan's beautiful eyes fell back on Xiao Tianyu, as if trying to see through him. However, Xiao Tianyu kept a gentle smile toward her, which was clear and without any inappropriate thoughts.

"How dare you!" A strong figure from the Xiao Family shouted: "Is the Xiao Family's business something you can meddle in?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tianyu remained unmoved, and not far from him, Zhuge Lantian and Nangong Yuan showed smiles of interest.

Nangong Yuan sneered, "Does he really think he's someone important? Saying that no one is qualified to force her is truly laughable!"

"Laughable indeed, it's utterly ridiculous!" mocked Zhuge Lantian.

At this moment, Xiao Ziyan said, "I don't like them, and I don't want to marry, but..."

"That's enough!" Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, leaving many present bewildered, and even Xiao Yuanshan showed a trace of surprise.

He said to Xiao Tianyu, "You were originally the strongest in this evaluation, but unfortunately, you are too arrogant and not suitable to be the Xiao Family's son-in-law, so the choice has to be made from the two people beside you!"

"From these two?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"Correct!"

However, before Xiao Yuanshan could finish speaking, a cold aura suddenly emanated from Xiao Tianyu, instantly enveloping Zhuge Lantian and Nangong Yuan beside him.

Simultaneously, the gentle smile on Xiao Tianyu's face vanished without a trace. Now, in his eyes, there was nothing but coldness and an emptiness like a deep abyss.

"What's he going to do?" Everyone witnessing the scene was dumbfounded.

Strong figures from the Zhuge and Nangong families stood up, their overwhelming aura directly pressing toward Xiao Tianyu.

However, Xiao Tianyu was completely unaffected. With a single step, he surged toward Nangong Yuan, arriving in an instant.
