"That's right, if you want revenge, come find your grandaunt me!!" Miss Miller said with great confidence, proudly pointing at herself with her thumb. That exquisitely beautiful little face was even slightly raised.
"……"
"Don't worry, we will meet again, at this year's Longmen Tournament!" Miss Bennett left these words, then turned and walked away, taking her unwilling fourth brother with her.
The Longmen Tournament that Miss Bennett mentioned is an important selection competition held every three years in the Tianfeng Kingdom, aimed at selecting the nation's elite talents. Simply put, it's a martial arts imperial examination.
This martial arts examination is not just about picking the martial arts champion; it also determines who can advance to higher levels of cultivation, because the winners get a chance—a chance to enter the continent's top sects and academies.
For many people, this is a dream!
The realization of a dream, or the beginning of one...
For martial arts families like the The Bennett Family, it is equally tempting—not only because their family is not the very top among martial arts clans, but also because they want to learn new things!
The experience of predecessors is always the foundation for reaching the very peak!!
Because of this, many families whose martial arts prowess is already on par with those sects or academies still want this opportunity, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of winning this martial arts examination.
This is also one of the main ways many families accumulate martial arts heritage. For a forging family like the The Miller Family, the Longmen Tournament is even more important, because a large part of their martial arts techniques come from the Longmen Tournament.
In this world, you may not have absolute martial power, but you cannot have none at all. Otherwise, it means you are at the mercy of others.
The Longmen Tournament is something that gives you greater martial power! Whether for individuals or families, it is a competition that must be fought for!!
A fish leaps over the Dragon Gate and becomes a dragon, its value multiplied a hundredfold!!
There are countless fish, as numerous as the carp crossing the river, but only a small number become dragons...
Even so, there are still many who want to be that fish, and it's not easy!
However, in the The Miller Family, there are two people who have absolutely no interest in the Longmen Tournament. Even if others don't qualify, they still fantasize about it, but these two never have.
One of them is the Miss Miller in front of us—
"Longmen Tournament, I'm not even participating in that..." Miss Miller waved her hand dismissively, looking completely unconcerned. However, Miss Bennett didn't see this; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have remained so quiet before the Longmen Tournament.
Miss Miller's wish is just to muddle along in this little patch of land belonging to the The Miller Family until she dies. She has never thought about going out, nor about becoming a dragon.
The only reason she cultivates is to be able to act even more recklessly!!
As for the personality of this Miss Miller, it's hard to say for now—anyway, she's the type who's very bored, but also not competitive...
At this moment, Miss Miller didn't care whether Miss Bennett heard her or not, and was about to grab Evan to praise him a bit. But she found that Evan had already slipped away at this time—yes, without her "permission," Evan had already made his exit.
At this, Miss Miller was quite displeased, planning to settle accounts with Evan later. But for now, of course, she continued drinking in the Golden Jade Hall—she wouldn't let anyone disturb her drinking mood!!
Several days passed before Miss Miller remembered the matter with Evan. When she questioned Evan about it, Evan's answer was, I have to go back and watch the fire, how could I have time to hang around here!!
Watch the fire? What fire? The steel furnace?
At that time, Evan was already helping out at the smelting site...
"Eh, where's that kid Evan?"
"Replying to Miss Miller, Evan isn't here today, you should look elsewhere."
"Got it! That kid, who knows where he ran off to again, really, I told him to be my attendant, but he just won't!"
Miss Miller went to the The Miller Family forging workshop to look for Evan, but judging by the situation, Evan was off working somewhere else again. During this period, whenever Miss Miller wanted to find Evan, she had gotten used to searching all over the place.
Originally, these things could be left to the servants, but Miss Miller thought it was more interesting to look herself, and it helped pass the time, which suited her bored personality.
Of course, sometimes Miss Miller would get annoyed and want Evan to be her attendant, to raise Evan's servant rank so he wouldn't be a low-level servant anymore.
However, Evan didn't seem interested in this at all, and even refused the offer to raise his servant rank. For the servants of the The Miller Family, this is something they absolutely long for.
Raising one's servant rank means a promotion and a pay raise—something no one would ever refuse!!
If this isn't because Evan doesn't care and wants to keep a low profile, then there must be something fishy going on. Miss Miller didn't pay much attention to this; she was just saying it casually anyway.
After all, Evan is still young. If his rank is raised, it will make some people unhappy!
