Xiao Fan and Yin Tiantian both successfully won the title of Hundred Battles King, and Lan Xiang and City Lord Tang Yang personally presented them with honorary medals.
The two of them smiled and happily accepted it.
After the awards ceremony, Tang Yang stepped down from the ring.
Lan Xiang remained standing on the platform, seemingly casually asking Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan a question.
"Your group is from Beixuan City, right?"
He did not try to hide his voice, and everyone present could hear it.
Many people don't know what this means and don't pay much attention to it. Perhaps Lanxiang is trying to get closer to the two new students who are veterans of many battles.
Han Wu and Tang Yang raised an eyebrow, recalling the events that had occurred in Beixuan City some time ago, and began to have a vague guess.
But then they thought again, that didn't make sense. The people who died in the Three Emperors Palace had high cultivation levels, so Yin Tiantian and the others probably couldn't have done it.
Han Wu and Tang Yang exchanged a glance, unable to understand the meaning behind Lan Xiang's words.
A cold glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. After they came out of Beixuan City, they were chased and killed several times by the Xiao Ao Gang, Yin Xuan Pavilion, and the Three Emperors Palace. In the end, all the attackers perished at their hands.
Why did Lanxiang deliberately bring this up? Could it be that those people are related to the Lan family?
He remained expressionless, already prepared to take action. If Lanxiang harbored malicious intentions, he wouldn't hesitate to finish him off.
Lan Xiang spoke casually, his eyes constantly observing Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan's reactions.
Upon hearing this, Yin Tiantian's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down and readily admitted it.
"Yes, we came from Beixuan City. How did you know, Senior Lan? Why are you asking this?"
Xiao Fan simply looked up at him curiously, without saying a word.
Lan Xiang couldn't glean anything from the two people's reactions. In fact, he wasn't entirely sure whether the three Immortal Emperors of the Three Emperors Palace were killed by this group of people.
But the truth doesn't matter; whatever he says goes.
He smiled slightly, "Oh, I heard that something big happened in Beixuan City, and several Immortal Emperors died. I'd like to know more about it."
Yin Tiantian feigned surprise, "Oh, really? The Immortal Emperor is dead, something big must have happened. It's a pity we've already left, otherwise we could have joined in the fun."
Lan Xiang looked at her with a half-smile.
Yin Tiantian remained calm and met his gaze without flinching.
Lan Xiang spoke again, "I see that your swordsmanship is extraordinary, quite similar to the swordsmanship of our Lan family. May I ask who your master is?"
Yin Tiantian naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so she made up a story, quite smugly saying:
"Oh, really? I observed the stars rising and falling at night and suddenly had a feeling, so I incorporated it into my sword moves. I didn't expect it to work."
That's all. I never expected to catch your eye, senior. I am truly honored.
Yin Tiantian spoke eloquently, but Lan Xiang didn't believe a word she said.
Such sword techniques contain boundless Daoist wisdom, which even the Lan family patriarch could not fully comprehend. How could a mere little girl possibly create them?
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Lan Xiang decided to stop beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Both of you are prodigies who have earned the title of Hundred Battles King. My Lan family is currently in a period of rapid development and wants to recruit talented individuals. We hope you two will join us. What do you think?"
Most people present were not surprised by Lanxiang's actions.
Those who can win the title of "King of a Hundred Battles" are all people with unlimited potential, so it's perfectly normal for Lanxiang to want to recruit them.
They just resented that they weren't the ones recruited; the Lan family still had a bright future, and many people were willing to serve them.
At this moment, Han Qi felt extremely envious. That was Lanxiang Vocational School, the younger brother of Lan Qiuning, the prospective head of the Lan family. He had never received such treatment from Lan Qiuning himself.
Han Wu crossed his arms and watched the scene quietly. Would this woman who had offended him agree?
Lan Xiang looked at Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan with burning eyes, hoping they would be sensible and readily agree.
He is particularly interested in Yin Tiantian, especially her swordsmanship lineage and origins.
Without a moment's hesitation, Yin Tiantian shook her head and refused, "I'm sorry, I have no interest in joining the Lan family. My goal is to travel freely in the Immortal Realm."
Xiao Fan decisively replied, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but this is not my concern."
With so many people present, they were stunned by the two's decisive refusal.
"Oh, you rejected it?"
"That's normal. Anyone with some skill is arrogant. These two just won the title of Hundred Battles King, and they're in their prime."
"Hmph, I say they really don't know what's good for them. Lanxiang is such a prestigious institution, and they personally asked for permission, but these two didn't even bother to pretend and flatly refused. They're a bit arrogant."
Han Qi's resentment vanished instantly, and she looked at the two people on the stage with pity.
Han Wu couldn't help but smile.
Lan Xiang felt a slight annoyance; these two were so tactless.
He thought that if the two readily agreed to serve the Lan family and Yin Tiantian cooperated honestly, then he could forgive and forget and cultivate them as talents.
Now? You won't listen to reason, huh? Then let's try another approach.
In Shuanglan City, no one could go against Lan Xiang's wishes, especially after his elder brother Lan Qiuning decided to become a Daoist couple with Gongsun Xier.
Lan Xiang's smile vanished, his face turned cold, and his tone was low, carrying an undisguised threat.
"You'd better think it over again; this concerns your future and your lives."
As he spoke, he slowly released his late-stage Immortal Emperor aura, and the powerful pressure of the Immortal Emperor realm pressed down on Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan.
Qin Feng had been paying close attention to the situation on the stage, and saw Lan Xiang display his aura.
He flashed and appeared like a ghost in front of Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan, blocking the powerful aura of the Immortal Emperor for the two of them.
The suffocating feeling that Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan had just experienced disappeared like a gentle spring breeze.
The two felt a great sense of security seeing Qin Feng standing before them like a pine tree.
Qin Feng's movements were too fast, using both movement techniques and spatial power simultaneously, and since everyone's attention wasn't on him, few people could see it clearly.
Han Wu was still marveling at Lan Xiang's cultivation level when he said to Tang Yang, "I remember Lan Xiang's cultivation level should be the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor. When did he advance to the next level?"
Tang Yang did not respond to him, staring blankly at the arena.
Han Wu followed his gaze and frowned. Why was there suddenly another person? When did this person go up?
Lanxiang's sudden change of heart and Qin Feng's appearance all happened in an instant.
The threatening words from Lan Xiang still echoed in everyone's ears, and they sighed inwardly that this was the real Lan family, and that they had such confidence.
Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at Lan Xiang, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Is this how the Lan family does things? They resort to coercion when they can't reason with people? How impressive!"
Lan Xiang looked at Qin Feng with suspicion and uncertainty. He was also puzzled as to how Qin Feng had appeared so stealthily.
He then sneered. This was Frost Tide City, the territory of the Lan family. What did he have to fear?
He said coldly, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
