Hearing her brother’s words, Tang Ya felt speechless. "We haven't even exchanged a single word yet, and you're already thinking of him as your future brother-in-law?"
"Sister, you are so beautiful, it’s no exaggeration to say you’re stunning enough to topple nations. If you were to hold a martial arts competition to choose a husband, I believe not all the pride of the ancient martial arts world would flock to you, but at least half of them would," Tang Feng said seriously, looking at his sister.
"What's the use of so many people coming? Yang Feilong, he, he might not even come!" Thinking of this, a hint of wistfulness appeared on Tang Ya’s face.
"Think about it, Yang Feilong saved us, your brother and I. How can our family not be grateful to him? Although Brother Yang said not to spread the word, it shouldn’t be a problem to tell father and a few other core family members. If they knew Yang Feilong's strength, they would undoubtedly marry you to him without hesitation," Tang Feng said, his eyes gleaming.
"I want to marry him, but it depends on whether he wants to marry me!" Tang Ya said helplessly.
As children of the Tang family, once they fell in love, there was no reason to hide it from their own brother. She spoke her true feelings directly!
"If we just went about it like that, it definitely wouldn't work. But, I wasn't finished speaking. Yang Feilong wants our Tang family to cooperate with the officials, right? Although there was some cooperation before, it was relatively basic. Father and the others also want to cooperate more deeply with the officials, which would provide the family with protection from the government. They just needed a reason. Now, this is a perfect reason! We can say that in gratitude for Yang Feilong saving our lives, we want to cooperate with the government, but Yang Feilong must be one of the initiators. And we'll have you as one of the initiators too. This way, you'll get to know each other, and then you can show off your charm a little. With just a little beckoning, I think Yang Feilong won't overlook you," Tang Feng explained leisurely.
"You're truly my good brother, actually asking me to seduce him?" Tang Ya glared at Tang Feng indignantly.
"Cough, cough, that’s not seduction. It’s just wanting you to reveal your beauty. What do they say, 'A woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her'!" Tang Feng chuckled.
"If you can't speak properly, don't speak," Tang Ya huffed.
However, her brother's suggestion seemed to have some merit.
"But I heard before that he has several girlfriends. Do you think I can compete with those women?" Tang Ya asked with some trepidation.
Yang Feilong already had some renown. Tang Ya was not surprised by his popularity with women.
After all, his struggles with Yang Fantian and others in Lan Hai City, and his exploits at Fei Yun Villa in Longcheng, all indicated that he was a romantic prodigy who might have many women!
"Believe in yourself. You are the most talented young lady of the Tang family. Even I, your brother, am no match for you. At such a young age, you are already a cultivator at the peak of the Yuan Martial Realm. Your future achievements are boundless!" Tang Feng said with a smile. "Coupled with your peerless beauty and powerful family background, which of his women can compete with you?"
"That's true!" Tang Ya nodded, her eyes beginning to ponder how to seduce him, or rather, how to make Yang Feilong fall for her.
He was so gentle to me back then, and he even saw half of my body. Clearly, he likes me. I should have a good chance!
...
Yang Feilong, of course, was unaware that after he left, the Tang siblings weren't busy with the aftermath but were instead scheming to make him a Tang family son-in-law. If he knew, he would probably be amused and bewildered.
He admired Tang Ya, but it was only admiration.
Whether it was Fang Qingxue before or Tang Ya now, he treated them with an appreciative eye for beauty.
In his own words, he already had a double-digit number of girlfriends. Did he still have the energy to chase other women, even if they were beautiful? After all, there were countless beautiful women in the world. He couldn't fall in love with every one he saw, could he?
His heart couldn't be divided into that many pieces!
Of course, having a good impression was a given, as both Fang Qingxue and Tang Ya were so beautiful.
...
Two hours later, Yang Feilong returned to Longcheng. He went straight to the Chief Patrol Bureau without stopping anywhere else.
As soon as he entered the Chief Patrol Bureau, before he could find Old Fang, he encountered Fang Qingxue again.
"Didn't you leave Longcheng? Why are you back?" Fang Qingxue looked at Yang Feilong. There were no signs of sadness on her face now; she appeared very calm. This indicated that Old Fang's comfort had worked on her.
Otherwise, she should be in a lonely corner licking her wounds right now!
"I completed a mission outside and came back to turn it in," Yang Feilong said with a light chuckle.
"What mission?" Fang Qingxue couldn't help but ask.
"The White-Faced Scholar," Yang Feilong thought for a moment and said. He didn't hide it from her, as she knew his strength.
"The mission for the White-Faced Scholar, you completed it so quickly?" Fang Qingxue stared at Yang Feilong, dumbfounded.
"Can't I?" Yang Feilong asked with a smile.
"......" Fang Qingxue looked at Yang Feilong, speechless for a moment.
"Why the expression? The White-Faced Scholar is strong, but I can even defeat you. Killing him shouldn't warrant this reaction from you!" Yang Feilong asked curiously.
"I just accepted this mission too and was preparing to set out," Fang Qingxue said, looking at Yang Feilong with a faint voice.
"Uh, alright!" Yang Feilong suddenly understood. No wonder Fang Qingxue had that expression. So, he had essentially poached her mission?
"I actually wanted to hunt him down before, but his whereabouts were scarce, and it was difficult for me to kill him with my cultivation. Now that my strength has broken through, and I have news of him, I wanted to see if I could find his trace and kill him. I never expected you to complete the mission so quickly!" Fang Qingxue looked at Yang Feilong with a complex expression.
"Good luck!" Yang Feilong shrugged.
Killing the White-Faced Scholar wasn't difficult. Let alone him, even Fang Qingxue could have easily killed him. The key was finding him!
This guy's hiding techniques were too formidable. The reason he willingly fell into the trap this time was that he didn't expect there to be a mantis behind the cicada.
If he hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have killed the people and then hidden again with their corpses!
"Your luck is indeed good. However, good luck is also a part of strength! Many people stronger than you couldn't kill him. You could kill him, which is naturally your capability!" Fang Qingxue said, looking at Yang Feilong calmly but with admiration.
"Thank you for your praise." Yang Feilong smiled slyly. "I really didn't expect you to praise people too. If you praise, praise more."
"......" Fang Qingxue rolled her eyes. "In your mind, am I such a cold person?"
"Aren't you?" Yang Feilong blinked and retorted.
"I just don't like talking to young people who are not as capable as me," Fang Qingxue said indifferently.
"So, I'm honored?" Yang Feilong stroked his chin.
"It's not that you're honored. It's that you have the capital for it," Fang Qingxue said seriously, seemingly not catching the playfulness in Yang Feilong's words.
"Is that so?" Yang Feilong shrugged and didn't say much more. He had figured out Fang Qingxue's personality. She probably focused all her energy on cultivation or missions, and her interpersonal skills were rather cold.
Or, "aloof" would be a more fitting description!
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to turn in my mission!" Yang Feilong waved his hand, preparing to leave.
Then, he saw Fang Qingxue following him. He asked with some surprise and curiosity, "Why are you following me?"
"To watch you turn in your mission! Of course, mainly to see what the legendary White-Faced Scholar looks like," Fang Qingxue said earnestly.
"Alright then!" Yang Feilong shrugged and said.
