Chapter 449: The Exam Should Be Changed to a Martial Arts Match for Marriage

~6 min read 1,001 words

"Fa—Father—what did you say?"

Xiao Ning'er, who usually called him Old Xiao or Dad, suddenly became formal.

She couldn't believe her father's final words just now, and forgot the high-to-the-limit evaluation of Jiang Li.

"I say, you must Wozhuji Society with such a good man. Although you are a girl, sometimes, being reserved might actually harm you!"

"This..."

Xiao Ning'er's breathing quickened; she admitted she had feelings for Jiang Li.

The two had even shared a tiny bit of verbal ambiguity with each other.

But—her father was the City Lord! In the past, for her marriage, the threshold of the Xiao Tian family had been trampled flat.

Father and daughter both had eyes higher than the sky; either Xiao Ning'er thought they wouldn't do, or Xiao Tian thought they wouldn't do.

It could be said—from her birth until now, no one had ever truly caught the City Lord's eye.

Not even Young Masters from other cities, noble as they were as heads of their cities.

Not even Young Masters from great financial conglomerates.

Not even those with talent.

Xiao Ning'er had seen so many people with awesome backgrounds and awesome abilities, and none would do.

Yet her father happened to take a liking to Jiang Li, who had no background at all; wasn't that completely absurd?

Moreover, that wasn't all; Xiao Tian even told her to pursue him actively...

Xiao Ning'er even felt a sense of unwillingness in her heart.

"I'm not bad either, am I? Is he really that outstanding?"

Xiao Tian looked at her and said, "Has your father, over all these years, ever misjudged anyone?"

Xiao Ning'er fell silent for a moment, no longer refuting.

She was different from children of ordinary families.

She once regarded her father as her idol; whatever her father said was absolutely right.

Therefore, Xiao Ning'er had observed Xiao Tian's conduct since childhood, and even discovered that her father could handle almost everything perfectly.

Had it not been for the upheaval of heaven and earth, her father would absolutely not have been merely a City Lord.

Even now, Xiao Ning'er had reason to believe her father was far more formidable than other City Lords.

Watching the doorway, Xiao Ning'er stood lost in thought for a long time.

Jiang Li returned home and muttered to himself, "Sometimes, one must also appropriately reveal a bit of strength."

"Only then can one attract attention!"

Then he snapped his fingers, and two clouds of smoke appeared in the room: Skeleton Number One and Skeleton Number 95.

After thinking for a moment, he snapped his fingers again to summon Skeleton Number 27.

"9527, you two are responsible for the room's hygiene. Number One, you go figure out how to get a set of human-skin suits, then, in human form, go buy a batch of human-skin suits!!!"

Number One's face was full of excitement.

"Boss, are you preparing for us to survive in this world?"

"Hmm—I can only say it's an attempt. Even though you wear human skin, you still appear utterly lifeless, which makes things difficult; for now, we can only experiment!"

"Got it, Boss!"

Number One was extremely excited.

Jiang Li stopped worrying pointlessly and went straight to sleep.

Don't you know there's a natural air conditioner? The Ice Diamond Skeletons can casually release the cold from their bodies, making the room freezing cold.

The next morning at dawn.

Around the Education Bureau's square, a sea of people had gathered; at the very front were the parents of those participating in reincarnation this time, followed by those who came out of admiration.

Some believed there was a dark conspiracy in education.

Some wanted to see the spectacle of how Jiang Li would die today.

And at the very front of the crowd were the more than two hundred reincarnators participating in the reincarnation dungeon this time.

The total number of people participating in reincarnation was one hundred and fifty-seven; the remaining fifty-plus were job-choosers from outside the city.

These outsiders were all very powerful; most were three-star talent job-choosers, with a small number of four-star and five-star job-choosers among them; truly, all the experts had come out.

There was only one main reason for such a situation: Jiang Li had broken some taboos.

A one-star warrior broke through the class barrier; his college entrance exam scores and his performance in the first-job dungeon were stronger than high-star warriors and mages.

Such performance made countless people resentful; they all wanted to witness with their own eyes what kind of person Jiang Li really was.

A one-star job-chooser broke the taboo and managed to clear the Eternal Dungeon of the first-job stage. What is an Eternal Dungeon? In this first-job stage, no one has cleared it yet; what merit does a one-star warrior have to actually clear it?

And most importantly, Jiang Li's name appeared on the World Channel report twice.

Such an event was even harder for some high-star job-choosers to accept.

Many parents were also indignant on behalf of their children.

They believed Jiang Li used despicable means to steal their children's achievements.

Today—was the moment to expose the true face of this despicable villain, Jiang Li.

What's more, yesterday someone saw Jiang Li shopping with the City Lord's daughter, and rumors and gossip spread.

In front of everyone were people from the Education Bureau, as well as officials from the City Lord's Mansion.

The surrounding audience whispered in small voices, but various big shots, hearing the news, paid not the slightest attention.

The Director of the Education Bureau came out to speak, doing nothing more than talking about fairness and justice, accepting supervision from everyone, and such things.

Finally, everyone looked at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian—his gaze swept around as he said, "I know the matter of Jiang Li has caused quite a stir recently. I know there is dissatisfaction in the hearts of all of you, but I feel that young man Jiang Li is very good. He is not at all as you imagine!"
