"What incredible luck!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
In fact, the Imperial Seal of the State sensed something upon entering this place. It's no wonder it sensed something—it must have been destiny.
"Don't even think about it, both of your luck points are for first place! And in the Central Continent Tournament, whether it's the individual competition or the team competition, the first place is almost always predetermined. Even I'm just here to support him!" Mi Tan'er's expression didn't change, as if she was already used to this kind of thing.
"Holy crap, who's so domineering that they can even pre-select the winner of the Central Continent Tournament?" Jiang Yuan blurted out, then added, "Let me tell you, you aristocratic families are all spoiled rotten. After thousands of years, you're still practicing this hegemonic monopoly, not giving any other talented but ordinary disciples a chance. Even so, without the addition of fresh blood, no matter how powerful the aristocratic families are, they will eventually perish!"
Mi Tan'er's chest heaved, clearly indicating that she was unable to control her emotions.
Jiang Yuan thought that Mi Tan'er had been persuaded by him, so he admonished her: "Your Fuxi clan must never become such a family. Forgetting war will lead to danger. Such despicable means as pre-selecting the first place will destroy a family sooner or later."
"Then I really have to thank you!" Mi Tan'er thanked Jiang Yuan with a half-smile.
"Hey, you still haven't told me which family decided on the first place!" Jiang Yuan pressed.
"Thanks to you, this domineering family that you call only capable of using despicable means is actually the Fuxi Clan! That is, my family!" Mi Tan'er said irritably, then suddenly increased her walking speed, leaving Jiang Yuan far behind in no time.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
How rash! He actually undermined this woman right in front of her.
"Given Mi Tan'er's vengeful nature, I'm afraid she's holding a grudge against me today?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but worry. Although he knew he still had value to Mi Tan'er and she certainly wouldn't go too far, he had still insulted her in front of her, which was bound to attract hatred.
However, after hearing these words, Mi Tan'er was only outwardly angry. Inwardly, she was somewhat moved. Although the pre-determined first place was just a casual remark, it was true that the Fuxi clan had been at the top of the list in Zhongzhou for many consecutive years, and other contestants had no chance to stand out. This was not a good omen for aristocratic families that valued fresh blood.
"Although this guy is impulsive, he has a good eye for things. If he becomes my servant, he can serve me while helping me handle family affairs!"
Jiang Yuan was unaware that Mi Tan'er was already planning his future—or rather, her imagined future. Who could truly decide the future?
"Tan'er, why are you here so early today?"
Mi Tan'er, who had left Jiang Yuan behind, arrived at a courtyard where several elderly people were sitting, drinking tea and chatting.
"I want to change the rules!" Mi Tan'er didn't waste any words and stated her purpose as soon as she arrived.
"Change the rules? Why would you suddenly think of changing the rules?" an old man asked, puzzled.
Mi Tan'er spoke up, "Second Brother has been cultivating in the ancestral land for over forty years, and his cultivation level is far superior to ours, who are only in their twenties. This is unfair to us!"
“But there is no absolute fairness in this world. Take our Fuxi clan for example. Our very existence is the greatest injustice to ordinary families. So what should we do? Are we supposed to erase our clan?” an old man said meaningfully.
“But this unfairness is something our ancestors won through bloody battles. We, as their descendants, can enjoy its blessings, but we cannot use these blessings to exacerbate the unfairness.” Mi Tan’er said something she herself didn’t believe, because that’s what she had always done.
The old man was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to understand what Mi Tan'er was thinking, so he asked, "Then how do you think the rules should be changed?"
"I..." Mi Tan'er was speechless. She had come on a whim without thinking too much, and could only stammer, "I haven't decided yet!"
"Alright, I'll talk to the heads of the other families and see if we can change the rules of the tournament to make it as fair as possible." The old man seemed to dote on Mi Tan'er. Even though she hadn't figured out how to change the rules, he still agreed.
"Then Tan'er won't disturb you gentlemen while you drink your tea." Mi Tan'er had already guessed this outcome, so she wasn't surprised.
However, just as she was about to leave, the old man joked, "Tan'er, it's fine to try dating, but don't let it affect you."
Mi Tan'er quickly denied it, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly be in a relationship? I hate those stinky men too much to even think about!"
"Alright, no one dares to interfere in your affairs anyway. As your grandfather, I can only remind you that your identity is special, and there will definitely be some people with ill intentions who approach you. So you must keep your eyes open at all times and not be deceived."
The old man's words made Mi Tan'er somewhat wary, but she quickly dismissed them; that guy was so weak, he could only be her prey.
On the other side, Jiang Yuan, a high-end hunter who appeared as prey, was leaning against the railing of the audience seats watching a group of people on the battle stage. These people were scions of aristocratic families, and they were preparing for the start of the Central Continent Tournament.
Although Mi Tan'er was not there, Jiang Yuan still managed to learn the rules of the Central Plains Tournament from a young lady from a prominent family.
The Central Continent Assembly is open to all families in the entire Central Continent. Of course, this is limited to families with a history of thousands of years. Families with a history of only a few hundred years are not qualified to participate in the Central Continent Assembly.
The Central Continent Tournament is divided into two modes. The first is the individual competition, which is scored based on individual combat strength and is simply a ring battle. The second mode is the more unique team competition. Instead of ring battles, the team competition sends participants to various corners of the Central Heaven Realm for a true life-or-death experience. The scoring criteria are more diverse. Whether it's killing spirit beasts or digging for rare treasures, these activities can increase points. Even defeating other participating teams will grant a large number of points. The final ranking is also based on points.
