I Break through Crazily

"Oh, so you just happened to run into each other. And here I was thinking any stray cat or dog could just waltz into the West Mansion Branch," Tang Yi said with a smile.

The implication was crystal clear—it was a jab at the pretty boy, Su Jian.

"You! Then what are you doing here? This is a West Mansion Branch. Is this a place for a waste like you who can’t even cultivate?" Su Jian’s face darkened. Anyone who wasn’t deaf could tell Tang Yi’s words were aimed at him and Fan Chun.

Su Jian hadn’t expected Tang Yi to actually dare to mock him.

’A Big Waste actually dares to challenge me? This is outrageous!’

But with a beauty present, Su Jian couldn’t just lash out. Otherwise, he really would have felt the urge to slap Tang Yi to death.

Seeing someone call Tang Yi a waste, Tang Piaomiao, who was standing to the side, impulsively wanted to step forward and retort, but was stopped by a single look from Tang Yi.

Tang Yi then shot Su Jian a glance—a look that said, ’I don’t talk to idiots’—and completely ignored him.

This made Su Jian even more furious, like a powder keg with no vent, about to explode.

PFFT!

Seeing Tang Yi get the better of Su Jian with just a single sentence and a look, making him fly into a rage, Wang Bi’Er covered her mouth and stifled a laugh. She strongly disliked Su Jian and Fan Chun as well. If not for the fact that Zhu Yin, who was beside her, was acquainted with them, she never would have traveled with them.

In Wang Bi’Er’s eyes, those two were a far cry from Tang Yi. They were like two annoying flies, buzzing around her, fawning over this and that, offering to treat her to meals, and being obnoxiously attentive. It was utterly tiresome.

"Tang Yi, Brother Su is asking you a question. Why are you here? Why won’t you answer him? And this is my father’s residence; it’s not a place just anyone can come and go as they please," Zhu Yin spoke up at this moment.

Zhu Yin knew of Tang Yi.

The waste from the Tang Family who couldn’t cultivate—was there anyone in Fengyue City who didn’t know of him?

However, Zhu Yin was not at all fond of Tang Yi. She liked strong men, and even more, she liked handsome ones. Tang Yi was not her type. Su Jian, on the other hand, was much more in line with her tastes.

She had a favorable impression of Su Jian, which was why she had allowed him and Fan Chun to accompany her and Bi’er today.

So now, seeing Tang Yi’s nasty attitude and how he mocked Su Jian, Zhu Yin was naturally displeased—in fact, she was utterly disgusted. That’s why she had spoken up in Su Jian’s defense.

Zhu Yin also hadn’t expected that the cowardly Big Waste, who used to shy away from everyone he met, would now actually dare to mock others.

’What a huge change!’

’I wonder what gives him the right to criticize others, although he does look...’

"Huh?"

Zhu Yin took a couple of extra glances at Tang Yi and suddenly realized that the Big Waste she loathed, Tang Yi, seemed to have undergone a major change in his demeanor. He was completely different from the Big Waste in her memory.

Whether it was his eyes or the aura he exuded, both carried a new air of confidence.

’Impossible. Is this the same Big Waste from before?’

No matter how she looked at him, the Tang Yi before her didn’t match the image of the Big Waste in her mind at all. Just by standing there, this Tang Yi projected an imposing aura, like a towering mountain one could only look up to. It was completely incomparable to how he used to be.

Seeing this version of Tang Yi, Zhu Yin suddenly had a feeling that speaking up for Su Jian had been a mistake.

When Tang Yi saw Zhu Yin defending Su Jian and acting so shrewishly, he didn’t hold back at all, even though he knew she was Master Zhu’s daughter.

After frowning at Zhu Yin, Tang Yi turned directly to Wang Bi’Er and said, "I came today to visit Uncle Wang. We chatted for a while and discussed the qualification exam. Of course, Uncle Wang also had many good things to say about Bi’Er."

This response was directed neither at Su Jian nor at Zhu Yin. The message was obvious: he didn’t see either of them as worthy of his notice.

Since those two hadn’t shown him any courtesy, why would he show them any in return?

Wang Bi’Er hadn’t expected Tang Yi to speak to her so gently and to proactively explain his reason for being there. Her heart fluttered with sweetness, and a delighted expression appeared on her face.

Hearing that Wang Zongyao had even praised her in front of Tang Yi, a captivating blush spread across her cheeks, enchanting anyone who saw it.

Unlike Zhu Yin, she wasn’t completely ignorant about Tang Yi. A few days ago on the Yangsha Ancient Dao, she had witnessed his heroic prowess and knew of his strength. As a result, she admired him greatly. Moreover, Wang Bi’Er seemed to harbor the tender feelings of a young woman in love for Tang Yi.

In the world of martial artists, who doesn’t like the strong? Who doesn’t like a hero?

In Wang Bi’Er’s eyes, Tang Yi was the hero of her dreams—he was simply too outstanding.

Wang Zongyao, of course, knew this as well, which was why he was trying to ’sell’ Wang Bi’Er to Tang Yi.

In Wang Zongyao’s view, if the two of them could get together, it would be a match made in heaven. Thus, he was doing everything he could to bring them together.

"Brother Tang Yi, why not stay a little longer? Are you leaving already?" Wang Bi’Er said to Tang Yi, her voice tinged with shyness.

"I’ve been here for a long time. It’s about time I headed back," Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Then, Brother Tang Yi, get back safely. Another day, Bi’Er will definitely pay you a visit," Wang Bi’Er said shyly.

"Alright," Tang Yi nodded. With that, he was about to leave with Tang Piaomiao.

But just then, someone blocked his path. It was Fan Chun.

"Tang Yi, I heard you were just talking with Special Envoy Wang about the qualification exam? Don’t tell me you’re planning to take it too?" Fan Chun asked.

Fan Chun had seen Wang Bi’Er’s shy demeanor just now, and it made him grind his teeth in anger at Tang Yi.

Zhu Yin was the target of Su Jian’s affections.

And Wang Bi’Er was the one Fan Chun had his eye on.

So, seeing Wang Bi’Er act like that toward Tang Yi filled Fan Chun’s heart with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hate, making him even more displeased with Tang Yi.

Fan Chun simply couldn’t understand what on earth Wang Bi’Er saw in this Big Waste, Tang Yi.

’He has no strength and no looks.’

The fact that Wang Bi’Er would treat him that way was what made Fan Chun so jealous that he blocked Tang Yi’s path.

"Tang Yi, you also said you had a pleasant chat with Uncle Wang? Given Uncle Wang’s status, why would he deign to chat with you? I find that highly doubtful."

Zhu Yin, who was standing to the side, had no intention of letting Tang Yi off the hook, either. Although her impression of him was no longer quite so negative, he had dared to ignore her just now. For a prodigy like her, the daughter of the Mansion Master of Fengyue City’s West Mansion, this was incredibly irritating.

"So what if I take the qualification exam? And so what if I don’t? As for my relationship with Uncle Wang, I have no need to boast about it," Tang Yi said coolly.

"My father is indeed on good terms with Brother Tang Yi. Sister Zhu Yin, he’s not lying," Wang Bi’Er chimed in to help, though she still shot Zhu Yin a cautious glance.

She didn’t want their friendship to be affected because of Tang Yi.

Zhu Yin shot Wang Bi’Er a look that clearly meant, ’Choosing a guy over your friend.’

But aside from that one look, she didn’t seem to blame Wang Bi’Er. She just let out a "Hmph," pouted, and said no more.
