Chapter 2377 - 2380: Are You Trying to Marry Qin Tian?

"In the entire Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, who can compare with me? Not to mention the disciples, even their Elders and those so-called Young Masters... hehe, they are just amusing themselves. In terms of future prospects, potential, even current strength, who among them is qualified to compare with me?"

"It's laughable that the one rumored to have an engagement with you is not Ouyang Wudi, the Senior Disciple of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, nor any of their Young Masters, nor their Elders, but... hehe, but a completely unknown little figure."

"Admittedly, Qin Tian's performance in these few Martial Arts competitions of the Seven Great Immortal Sects has been refreshing, but that's all it is. He made it into the top four, and so did I. Why won't you agree to me? Lingshuang, I am truly sincere about you... truly, as heaven and earth can testify."

Tang Yaosong directly spoke his thoughts and stared at Yan Lingshuang, saying: "I am your true destined one. As for others... it won't be, it's impossible... Lingshuang, after this Seven Great Immortal Sects competition, I will definitely propose to your master, and I will definitely ask the Sect Leader to help make it happen... we are a perfect match made in heaven..."

"Senior Brother, if you really do this, then you are making things difficult for me!"

Hearing Tang Yaosong mention the master and Sect Leader with an attitude of forcing marriage, Yan Lingshuang's face directly changed, and she sternly stopped him, "Senior Brother, are you forcing me? I, I, Yan Lingshuang... will not be bullied... if you keep pushing me like this, then I... I would rather die."

"Rather die? Hehe, rather die than marry me? Hahaha... I, Tang Yaosong, never thought that in your heart, Yan Lingshuang, you would rather die than marry me... Hahaha..."

Tang Yaosong burst into laughter upon hearing Yan Lingshuang's words, "You won't marry me, then let me ask you, will you marry that Qin Tian, hmm?"

"Senior Brother, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Tian..."

"Don't change the subject. Just answer me, if it were Qin Tian, would you be willing to marry him?"

"I... I... I've said it has nothing to do with this, I won't answer your hypothetical question!"

Yan Lingshuang, forced into anger by Tang Yaosong's domineering manner, stepped back a few paces, saying: "Senior Brother, you're too agitated, calm down, I'll go back first."

Having said that, Yan Lingshuang turned and walked away.

Tang Yaosong shouted behind her: "Hahaha... Lingshuang, this is your doing, your doing! If I meet Qin Tian in the next round, I will show him my power! Let him know I'm stronger!"

Qin Tian listened from afar, utterly bewildered.

This is what is meant by 'getting caught in the crossfire', right?

Wasn't I just out for a stroll, and now there's yet another enemy? Or a love rival?

Yan Lingshuang suddenly flew up from the distant woods, and while traversing in mid-air, she saw Qin Tian in the forest and immediately transmitted her voice cautiously: "What are you doing here, go back, my Senior Brother... might target you, be... careful."

Qin Tian looked up, only to see Yan Lingshuang had already flown away.

...

The next day, the drawing ceremony for the semifinals of the Seven Great Immortal Sects competition began.

This time the semifinals were highly popular, with throngs of people.

In past semifinals, it was mostly familiar faces, typically competitions among the Senior Brothers of four Immortal Sects, and then the Senior Brothers of Qiankun Immortal Sect and Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect would enter the final.

It had been the same for several editions; some believed it was routine, others thought it was under-the-table manipulation. Otherwise, why in every draw had Qiankun Immortal Sect's Du Yunlong and Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect's Tang Yaosong never been drawn against each other?

But this time, even before the semifinal draw started, the enthusiasm was already high.

Because, apart from familiar faces Du Yunlong and Tang Yaosong, there were now two new faces.

Moreover, these two new faces had never reached the semifinals before, a true dark horse reversal.

After all, Yan Lingshuang holds the title of "The Number One Beauty of the Seven Great Immortal Sects" and is among the "Spiritual Spring Seven Beauties" of the Spiritual Spring Sect. She had previously entered the top sixteen, so she was well-known; this modest reversal didn't count as the biggest dark horse.

To call the biggest dark horse, it would naturally be Qin Tian.

A disciple of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, participating in the Seven Great Immortal Sects tournament for the first time, defeating two Senior Disciples of Great Immortal Sects... these highlights made Qin Tian a sensation in this competition... his popularity is soaring.

Especially, rumors began to spread saying that the always solitary Yan Lingshuang, who had rejected countless cultivation talents and numerous Sect Senior Disciples' courtship over the decades, was surprisingly Qin Tian's fiancée...

These rumors spread made this semifinal instantly more intriguing.

Because most people knew, Tang Yaosong had always liked Yan Lingshuang. Although he had been in seclusion these years, he had previously confessed to Yan Lingshuang face-to-face...

"Wow, I've never been so excited before. This time the semifinals, no matter how the draw goes, every matchup will be exciting, right?"

"Yes, if Qin Tian draws Yan Lingshuang, then it's a lover's showdown, right? Senior Brother Du Yunlong and Senior Brother Tang Yaosong meeting in the semifinals, that's a first. If that's the draw result, at least the champion won't be the same as last year entirely."

"Hehe, if Qin Tian faces Senior Brother Tang Yaosong, then they'll be rivals, won't they? I'm curious what Yan Lingshuang will think at that time."

"Certainly, there's another possibility, Qin Tian faces Senior Brother Du Yunlong... phew, such a grouping should be the most exciting. Imagine, Qin Tian severely injures Senior Brother Du Yunlong, Senior Brother Du Yunlong has long wanted revenge, during the semifinals, he will definitely strike hard. On the other side, Senior Brother Tang Yaosong faces Yan Lingshuang, Senior Brother Tang Yaosong has liked Yan Lingshuang for years, will he go easy on her? If he doesn't and Yan Lingshuang loses, will she forever refuse Senior Brother Tang Yaosong?"

As Qin Tian and the other three stepped onto the drawing stage, everyone below discussed every possible draw scenario enthusiastically.

And on stage, when the four stood together, Tang Yaosong forcibly stood between Qin Tian and Yan Lingshuang.

With a smiling face, yet speaking quietly, he said to Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, you better pray you don't draw me, or today I'll show you what true absolute strength is!"

Qin Tian already knew this guy intended to go hard on him, he lightly smiled: "I actually hope to draw you."

As long as he doesn't draw Yan Lingshuang, Qin Tian feels drawing anyone is not a problem.

Just then, Du Yunlong also approached, standing beside Tang Yaosong, and said quietly: "Junior Brother Tang, you can't draw him, Qin Tian can only be defeated by me! I said, I will exact revenge for my brother's injuries on him tenfold!"

Tang Yaosong heard this and coldly smiled, saying: "Senior Brother Du, then let's see whose luck is better, but no matter what, today, he definitely won't walk out of Martial Arts Cave Heaven standing!"
