Chen Yao's complexion was somewhat rosy. That was naturally due to him being bashful.

Previously, the reason he wanted to let Tang Mei Er go was to lie to Tang Hanchuan that their relationship was that of a man and a woman. He wanted to help Tang Mei Er to prevent her from marrying into the imperial family.

Moreover, the reason why he revealed that he was that mysterious alchemist and that he had a deep relationship with the Sultan was to prove his worth.

Although he didn't know why the Tang Clan valued him so much, Chen Yao knew that as long as he displayed enough value, the Tang Clan would silently approve of his relationship with Tang Mei Er. This would also help Tang Mei Er.

From today onwards, his identity as an alchemist was exposed. The Nangong family's strong network in the Alchemy Association would soon know of the relationship between him and Su Yiyi, and his relationship with the Nangong family would reach an extremely opposing point.

This was also what he, Chen Yao, was declaring war on the Nangong Family. His own woman should be protected openly like a man.

Before the young alchemist competition was held, the Nangong family would definitely look for trouble with him, but Su Yiyi might have less trouble.

Thus, although Chen Yao's actions today were all done on a whim, it could not be denied that he was only thinking for the sake of others.

He wanted to be nice to everyone who was good to him.

When Tang Mei Er walked to his side, his expression finally returned to normal. He smiled lightly at Tang Mei Er and said.

"Eldest Miss Tang, I think your problem has been solved."

Tang Mei Er said while bowing to Chen Yao.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Chen. This little girl is unable to repay you. In the future, as long as Young Master Chen is useful, I, Tang Mei Er, will not hesitate to help."

Tang Mei Er's expression was extremely serious and solemn.

Originally, she didn't have a deep friendship with Chen Yao. She was greatly moved by the fact that Chen Yao was able to help her this way.

Seeing the serious expression on Tang Mei Er's face, Chen Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable and said those words casually.

"Didn't you say to Tang Hanchuan and Tang Mi that I was your husband? Why aren't you admitting to it now? If you want to repay me, you can repay me with your own body. "

Tang Mei Er was stunned for a moment before she looked at Chen Yao affectionately.

"If Young Master can truly treat me sincerely, from today onwards, I will be your person."

Chen Yao was stupefied.

He had only said that without thinking, why would he really want to eat Tang Mei Er?

They were at a loss of what to do. They didn't say anything for a long time, which made the situation very awkward.

"Hahaha."

Suddenly, Tang Mei Er covered her face and giggled.

"I had thought that Young Master Chen had great skills and courage, but it turns out he had a heart of a thief but no courage."

Chen Yao suddenly realized that Tang Mei Er had already figured out his true thoughts. The words he had said just now were just to tease him.

However, he didn't dare to accept Tang Mei Er's words because he was too inferior.

Seeing that it was already getting late, he did not say anything more and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Tang Mei Er before quickly heading in the direction of the teleportation formation.

Watching Chen Yao's departing figure, Tang Mei Er's face turned red as she muttered to herself.

"How do you know I'm just joking and not really trying to be your woman?"

"Although Luo Mo has died, I think that she is a happy woman, because you can become a devil for her."

"Chen Yao, I'll wait for you."

"..."

At this moment, the sword plaza was already overcrowded.

The second round of the shoulder contest was even more intense and filled everyone with even greater expectations.

The twenty people that had the qualification to compete all had extremely resounding reputations in the sword faction, they were definitely not ordinary people.

Aside from the first swordsman, Chu Tian Ge, the other nine swordsmen were all gathered here.

What was surprising was that among the contestants, the other spots weren't reserved for the Successor Disciples. There was actually a female disciple from the outer court named Huan Xi who had entered the semifinals.

Surprisingly, this female disciple was at the peak of the Genuine Force. However, she was not even twenty years old and had long been qualified to become a true disciple. However, she had been rejected by her.

The outer court disciples at the peak of the Genuine Force were definitely the first among the outer court disciples.

This time around, the Inner Academy was really going to be ugly.

The outer court had Huan Xi. Chen Yao had stood out among the service disciples, but none of the inner court disciples had successfully entered the semifinals.

As the inner sect master, Liu Hai's face was extremely ugly.

According to his previous arrangement, there should have been three inner court disciples who were qualified to participate in the semifinals. However, all of them were knocked out of the arena by Chen Yao's Divine Sword and lost their qualifications to enter the semifinals.

Liu Hai thought bitterly in his heart.

"Chen Yao, just you wait. Even if you are able to enter the semifinals, you will definitely not have a good time."

Just then, an instructor from the inner sect walked to Liu Hai's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I've already asked our disciples on the Punishment Peak to use the bamboo sticks."

"Chen Yao's first opponent will be Tyrant Sword Liu Kuang. Liu Kuang's cultivation has already reached the peak of the Martial King realm, so he can definitely defeat Chen Yao. Although Chen Yao cannot be killed on the stage, it would still be good for him to be seriously injured."

Unknowingly, Liu Hai had already let go of Chen Yao's contemptuous heart.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking to the inner sect teacher.

"You should go and make some arrangements. If Chen Yao can successfully enter the final ten finals, then let Liu Ziyi be his opponent. If he can even beat Liu Shao, then it will be the fate of our Liu Family."

"There's no need. Liu Kuang is a powerful warrior at the peak of the King's realm. His cultivation is way higher than Chen Yao's. How could Chen Yao be his match?"

Liu Hai's expression changed as he angrily said.

"So what if his cultivation is higher than Chen Yao?" Could it be that they forgot that Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Liu Huan of the Liu Family had higher cultivation than Chen Yao, but which one of them defeated Chen Yao?

This brat's Dantian has been crippled and his meridians have not died. He is simply a freak.

The instructor quickly followed Liu Hai's instructions.

Liu Hai mumbled to himself.

"Hopefully, Liu Kuang will be able to defeat Chen Yao. Hopefully, my own considerations are unnecessary."

"We have twenty participants on stage to draw lots."

As Zhao Gongming's voice fell, the participants of the semifinals began to draw lots.

Only Chen Yao was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did Chen Yao go?"

"Could he be afraid?"

"You're thinking too much, aren't you? Chen Yao is an absolute monster. How could he be afraid of these people if even Saints have been killed by him?"

Just as everyone was discussing amongst themselves.

Another bright sword light pierced through the air.

With a rumble, it landed in the middle of the field.
