Tang Fan became a well-known genius of the Tang Sect overnight.
This news naturally spread from the Tang Sect, shaking the Nine Provinces.
A peerless genius emerged, astonishing the world with his sudden rise.
He seemed to have a huge gap compared to Xu Fengqiu and Lin Tianyi.
However, firstly, he was not old. A twenty-three-year-old Immortal Emperor of the first level was worth remembering.
Secondly, on the point that the Tang Sect valued most, Tang Fan's potential surpassed almost any previous Tang Sect genius.
At a young age, he created several hidden weapons that were considered top-notch by the Tang Sect, which was simply terrifying.
From the perspective of the entire Tang Sect, Tang Fan's value and significance surpassed any Tang Sect genius, even the Tang Sect Saint.
"Fan-ge! Fan-ge!"
A figure rushed over in a hurry.
"You're so handsome, Fan-ge! You won the Tang Sect competition! You've shocked the entire Nine Provinces!"
The young man excitedly grabbed Tang Fan's hands.
Tang Fan smiled and looked at the man in front of him.
His name was Duan Ye, a disciple of an elder from the Tang Sect's Third Branch, and did not belong to the Tang Sect bloodline.
However, because he had a strong talent, he was still relatively valued.
He was also Tang Fan's only close friend.
Three years younger than Tang Fan, he was only twenty years old.
He usually thought a lot about Tang Fan.
Because Tang Fan and Tang Tian, although they were members of the Tang family, were extremely unpopular.
This was mainly due to Tang Fan's mother being a demon race woman.
As a direct descendant of the Tang Sect, Tang Tian was not welcomed by the sect.
Tang Fan, the son of a demon woman, was even more needless to say.
Their treatment was not even as good as Duan Ye, an outsider.
But now it was different.
Tang Fan became famous overnight and had the potential to take the Tang Sect to the next level.
His status was naturally different.
Tang Fan smiled slightly: "It's okay."
"What do you mean, 'okay'? This is simply amazing, alright?"
Duan Ye said excitedly.
Tang Fan smiled slightly: "I plan to go down the mountain for a while. Are you going?"
"Sure, I'll report to my master."
Tang Fan: "Just say that I'm taking you out."
"Alright, by the way, it seems that the Saintess is also about to leave seclusion. She will definitely be very happy when she hears this news," Duan Ye said.
Tang Sect Saintess, Ning Xi.
She was a rather special existence.
The Saintesses of the Tang Sect in the past were all from the direct bloodline of the Tang Sect.
But only Ning Xi was the only one who was not related to the Tang Sect by blood, but still sat on the position of Saintess.
Because her strength was really too strong.
In the Tang Sect competition of that year, she overwhelmed a group of top Tang Sect peers and won the championship.
In the previous Heavenly Martial Arts Tournament, she was also the first.
Her strength was outstanding, and her methods were quite powerful.
Later, the Tang Sect directly promoted her to the Tang Sect Saintess.
Immortal Palace Saint Jun Yichen had always admired her.
And she was also the fourth fairy on the Fairy Rankings.
The second was Luo Liuli, and the third was Ye Lingyou.
She was once the second on the Fairy Rankings.
It was also because in recent years, Ning Xi rarely showed her face and had been in seclusion.
In addition, the sudden emergence of Ye Lingyou and Luo Liuli led to her ranking on the Fairy Rankings falling back.
But it could not hide her otherworldly beauty.
Tang Fan was also very excited when he heard this sentence.
Ning Xi, when he first met her after transmigrating as a child, he deeply fell in love with this girl.
And Ning Xi happened to have spent some time with him for some special reasons, and took great care of Tang Fan.
Tang Fan was only ten years old at that time, and Ning Xi was a big sister.
Only Tang Fan transmigrated, so he naturally understood love.
Ning Xi had taken care of Tang Fan since he was quite young.
This also made Tang Fan like her even more.
At this moment, a figure fell from the void.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Ning."
Duan Ye bowed directly.
Tang Fan also bowed: "Greetings, Senior Sister Ning."
Ning Xi's eyes swept over the two of them.
"Congratulations," Ning Xi said to Tang Fan.
Tang Fan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Senior Sister Ning. Over the years, I have to thank Senior Sister Ning for her care."
Tang Fan was twenty-three years old and had already become an adult.
In his bones, he believed that his fate was in his own hands, not in the heavens'.
But in front of Ning Xi, he always felt a kind of helplessness.
Perhaps this was his white moonlight?
He had wanted to confess his feelings many times, but he didn't dare.
Even now, he didn't dare.
After a while, when he became stronger and had higher achievements and status, he would confess his feelings.
"It's your own effort," Ning Xi said.
Duan Ye said: "Senior Sister Ning, Fan-ge plans to go down the mountain, will you go together?"
Ning Xi thought for a while: "Forget it, I still have something to do and need to be busy for a few days."
Tang Fan quickly said: "I can wait."
Ning Xi thought for a moment again: "Alright, then I'll go ahead."
"Senior Sister Ning, walk slowly," Tang Fan cupped his fist.
Watching Ning Xi leave, Tang Fan slowly lost his mind.
"Fan-ge, do you know what Senior Sister Ning is busy with?"
Duan Ye asked with a mysterious look.
"What?"
Tang Fan asked.
"I also heard some inside information that the Tang Sect intends to arrange a marriage between Senior Sister Ning and Xu Fengqiu."
"What!?"
Tang Fan's brow furrowed suddenly.
"Who did you hear that from?" Tang Fan quickly asked.
"Some people have been spreading it, and it's not certain whether it's true or false. I don't think it's necessarily true. We are the Tang Sect, and the Xu family is only the overlord of the Eighth Heaven. Xu Fengqiu is indeed very powerful, but there's no need for our Tang Sect to rely on him, Xu Fengqiu, right?"
"Moreover, Xu Fengqiu is already engaged, so it may not be true."
No!
Tang Fan didn't think so in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, it might not be true.
But…
Although Ning Xi was the Tang Sect Saintess, she was not a member of the Tang family after all.
Even if she was a Saintess, she was just a relatively close outsider.
Using a close outsider to marry the rising Xu family, why not?
Tang Fan felt that there was really this possibility.
Crack, crack, crack—
Tang Fan secretly clenched his fists.
Impossible!
He would never allow it.
"Xu Fengqiu!"
Tang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
…
On the other side.
Ning Xi came to the Tang Sect Main Hall.
"Sect Leader, Elders."
Ning Xi bowed.
"Ning Xi, sit," Tang Jingyu said with a smile.
"How have you considered the matter we discussed with you?" Tang Jingyu asked.
What he was talking about was the matter of marriage.
Before Ning Xi could speak, Tang Jingyu continued: "That's right, everything respects your own decision. We just proposed such a thing and don't necessarily need you to do it."
Ning Xi cupped her fist and said: "This disciple has no intention of marriage."
"Well, that's no problem. It's right for you to have your own ideas, but… you can meet Xu Fengqiu first."
Seeing that they had retreated so much, Ning Xi's expression was unwavering, and she said: "This disciple obeys."
"You don't need to go. Coincidentally, the Tang Sect invited Xu Fengqiu to discuss the Xuan Tian Poison Weapon. At that time, you can get to know each other first."
"Yes."
