Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1699 - 1703: I Am Feeling Swelled with Pride

"Hello, I'm here to sign up for a challenge against the experts on the Youth Ranking."

"Name, please."

"Qin Tian."

"Hmm? Are you that... Qin Tian?"

Early the next day, when Qin Tian came to the Youth Ranking registration spot to sign up for a challenge, the official at the desk was still a bit sleepy. However, upon hearing Qin Tian's name, he froze for a moment, then his eyes locked onto Qin Tian, unable to look away.

Yesterday's qualifying match between Qin Tian and Xiao Qingshan had already spread far and wide, and many were aware of it. Of course, these referees knew even more details.

Thus, looking at Qin Tian, the official hesitated for a moment and said, "Qin Tian, you're first on the Qualifying Ranking, right? Who do you want to challenge?"

Qin Tian didn't speak. He directly wrote down a name in the registration book that left the official a bit dumbfounded—

Murong Ao!

"Murong Ao!?"

The official stared at the name for three seconds, and after confirming he hadn't looked wrong, he looked up at Qin Tian with a surprised expression and asked, "Qin Tian, you didn't make a mistake, did you? You want to challenge Murong Ao, who's currently ranked eighteenth on the Youth Ranking?"

"Yes," Qin Tian nodded, "Is that not allowed?"

"It's allowed... but you're just first on the Qualifying Ranking. Challenging someone ranked eighteenth on the Youth Ranking right off the bat might come off a bit arrogant, don't you think?"

"I like the feeling of arrogance."

Qin Tian gave the official a faint smile. "If there's no issue, please relay my challenge. I'll wait for notification on when the match will take place."

After saying this, Qin Tian left directly.

The official looked at Qin Tian's departing figure, then back at the name left by Qin Tian in the registration book, speechless.

"This guy, can anyone be this self-assured and arrogant? You're not even ranked on the Youth Ranking yet, and you want to challenge one of the top twelve players right off the bat? Haha, bold! You're truly bold!"

The official organized the registration book and prepared to notify the challenged Murong Ao.

Murong Ao, in fact, had been tracking the news about Qin Tian's matches. Learning that Qin Tian defeated Xiao Qingshan and even killed him, Murong Ao initially did not believe it until he got confirmation from Xiao Lingyun.

He was still at home contemplating Qin Tian's climb up the rankings, wondering when he would catch up with his own position; yet here, a servant had already delivered the official Youth Ranking challenge letter created by the Tianyuan Dynasty to the Xiao Family residence.

"Qin Tian!?"

Being challenged was within Murong Ao's expectation, but when he saw the challenger's name was Qin Tian, he sat in his seat, stunned for several seconds before regaining his composure.

Then, Murong Ao laughed.

"Haha, you're being hasty, aren't you? Realizing you can't catch up to me and can't marry Murong Fei, now you're thinking of directly challenging me for luck? Haha, wishful thinking."

Murong Ao thought to himself that Qin Tian challenging him was certainly a last resort out of helplessness.

"A spent arrow, Qin Tian, you're finished."

Contemplating, Murong Ao took the challenge letter directly to Murong Fei's room.

"Fei'er, look at this. Haha, that Qin Tian has actually issued a direct challenge to me. He's ranked first on the Qualifying Ranking, and I'm ranked eighteenth on the Youth Ranking."

Murong Ao walked into Murong Fei's room openly, handed the challenge letter to Murong Fei, wearing a smug expression, and said, "I've never heard of anyone from the Qualifying Ranking successfully challenging one of the top fifty on the Youth Ranking. I'm within the top twenty."

Murong Ao looked at Murong Fei boastfully and asked deliberately, "How about it, Fei'er, I'm decided to fight Qin Tian tomorrow. Do you want to come cheer for me?"

Murong Fei pursed her lips in anger, her beautiful face now full of worry.

She had just returned from training, learned that Qin Tian had reached first on the Qualifying Ranking, felt happy for Qin Tian a moment before; then hearing Murong Ao rank eighteenth on the Youth Ranking made her feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Now Murong Ao brought the challenge letter over, and with that tone, Murong Fei felt especially angry and upset.

She didn't know how Qin Tian's strength was after his cultivation on the Spirit Path, but knowing Murong Ao well, she thought Qin Tian fighting Murong Ao definitely had no chance of winning, so by now, she was already in turmoil.

Seeing Murong Fei's worried face, Murong Ao felt even more thrilled inside.

"Fei'er, Qin Tian is just a country bumpkin from the outside with no background. Following someone like him provides no future, just damages the reputation of our Murong Family."

Murong Ao looked at Murong Fei, smiling, "You remember the bet I made with Qin Tian last time, don't you? As long as his rank doesn't surpass mine, he will have to leave the Imperial City forever and never disturb you again."

"Alright then, come with me tomorrow. I will defeat Qin Tian before your eyes, then you can bid him farewell and tell him to stop dreaming of eating swan meat."

Murong Ao finished speaking with a slight smile and walked out of Murong Fei's room.

Murong Fei trembled with anger, hating Murong Ao for deliberately causing trouble.

But she couldn't do anything now; the challenge letter had arrived, and unless someone withdrew from the match, the challenge was certain to take place as scheduled.

Withdrawal was definitely impossible.

Murong Fei pondered in her room all night and finally made up her mind, packing her belongings that evening.

She decided to watch the fight between Qin Tian and Murong Ao the next day and if Qin Tian lost to Murong Ao, Murong Fei would abandon everything and elope with Qin Tian, leaving Imperial City and never return!

This was her only chance to be with Qin Tian.

...

One night passed, and the next day was an ordinary day.

The qualifying match on the Qualifying Ranking was underway.

The challenge on the Youth Ranking was also underway.

Murong Ao and Murong Fei arrived at the Martial Arts Square for the Youth Ranking.

Their arrival caused a stir in the crowd.

Many people focused their gaze on Murong Fei.

Murong Fei appeared like a fairy in her white fur dress, with hair cascading down her shoulders, too beautiful to be true, breathtakingly so.

In the crowd, Murong Fei saw Qin Tian.

At that moment, Qin Tian was also looking at her and greeted her.

"Murong, you look beautiful today," Qin Tian transmitted via True Qi to Murong Fei.

"Qin Tian, Murong Ao's current strength is something you can't defeat, how did you even think..."

"No matter how strong he is, to marry you, I must step over him; otherwise, things will become complicated."

The two communicated via True Qi, with Qin Tian smiling to ease Murong Fei's worries, "Murong, don't overthink, just enjoy the show. Today, your future husband will teach this Murong Family wastrel a lesson!"
