Chapter 010 Engagement
There is certainly one person who is Young Master Hen. Last time, Young Master Hen showcased his skills, overshadowing the younger generations of the other three major families, bringing honor to our Han family. I wonder when we, the collateral descendants, will also be able to produce a leader.
The young man in the purple robe was equally frustrated. After much effort, he finally seized an opportunity, intending to provoke Han Fengxue with words in order to find a reason to beat him up and avenge the previous incident with the arrow. "What a coward," the young man in the purple robe said fiercely.
"You little rascal, tomorrow is the New Year again. The servants are quite busy today, so you should run an errand to buy some New Year goods and also pick up a few new clothes to wear," Murong Qing said gently.
Moreover, in order to enhance the enthusiasm of the young members from various families, the organizing party of the martial arts competition will also offer three items as rewards to the top three winners of the event
Not only can it bring glory to the family, but it also provides rewards, undoubtedly motivating the younger generation of each family to strive for improvement. Therefore, the martial arts competition among the four great families has a history of one hundred years and has never ceased in between
"Feng Xue, you are up so early, why not sleep a little longer?" Murong Qing walked towards Han Feng Xue.
Early the next morning, the library and the Han residence were bustling with activity. Even the younger generation of the Han family came to the training ground to help. One of them remarked, "The new year has arrived, and the martial arts competition among the four great families is about to begin. I wonder which three individuals the family head will send to the arena this time"
Han Fengxue walked along the main street, listening to the laughter and debates of passersby, feeling very relaxed. "This must be the happiness of ordinary people," Han Fengxue thought to herself
It was you, " Han Fengxue recognized him at a glance. He was a junior from the He family, one of the four great families. Last year, the martial arts competition of the four great families was held at the He family, and Han Fengxue attended with her father. At that time, the young man in purple muttered softly, "How did that waste from the Han family come here?" This was overheard by Han Jianfeng, who, in order to defend Han Fengxue, demanded that the young man's father discipline him. As a result, the young man in purple harbored resentment. Coincidentally, encountering Han Fengxue here, he certainly wanted to take the opportunity for revenge.

"Is it the gathering of the four great families? This year it will be held at our humble abode, right? Tomorrow would be a perfect time to go and take a look," Han Fengxue said, and then continued, "Mother, I will go buy the New Year goods first."
The young man in white beside her also spoke: "Indeed, how could he possibly be worthy of my sister"
Soon after, the venue was set up, with seventy to eighty chairs arranged in each of the four directions, and a high platform erected in the center
Mother," Han Fengxue said with a smile, "Aren't you the same? You came to see me so early.
Hearing the insults exchanged among these people, Han Fengxue felt a surge of anger within. However, at this moment, he was more eager to understand what the engagement they were discussing was all about. "Are you done? If you're done, I'm leaving first," Han Fengxue said coldly, then turned and walked away
The following day, Han Fengxue remained by Murong Qing's side until they finished dinner together, after which she returned to her residence to begin her cultivation. In her spiritual sea, five elemental crystals slowly rotated, while the five elemental energies in the surrounding air gradually flowed into Han Fengxue's body along her meridians. It was unclear how much time had passed when Han Fengxue ceased her cultivation. Looking at the slightly enlarged elemental crystals, an infinite sense of anticipation surged within her. One day, I will show you how far the so-called waste in your eyes has grown; when I do not speak, it will be astonishing.

Yijing Street, the most comprehensive street for goods in Fengcheng. The bustling crowd moves back and forth, with the shouts of various vendors rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere. As tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year, today’s Yijing Street is not only crowded but also filled with a festive spirit
When the first ray of red light appeared on the distant horizon, Han Fengxue had already risen, quietly leaning against the rockery in the courtyard, replaying the events of the past few months in her mind. Not long ago, she, as a waste, enjoyed the joys of family life with her parents. And now, the waste had become a genius, yet her father was no longer present. This brought about a feeling as if she were in a different world. With a bitter smile, Han Fengxue murmured, "Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year. Since I cannot change the past, let me change the future."
Han Fengxue was too preoccupied to care about what they thought; he was eager to find Murong Qing to clarify the matter. He hurriedly arrived at the place where Murong Qing resided. Upon seeing Han Fengxue approach, Murong Qing said: "Why are you back so soon"
"How dare you show your face after the genius old man is gone?" the young man in purple mocked. After saying this, he turned to a girl of about ten years old and said, "Miss Xiuqing, I heard that this waste still has a marriage contract with you."
Mother, I ... Am I engaged? Han Fengxue asked awkwardly
Hmph, being so disregarded by Han Fengxue, the young girl angrily stamped her foot.
At this moment, Han Tianjun and his brothers, Han Jianyu, were walking over. Observing the servants and juniors bustling about, Han Tianjun nodded and said, "Everyone, please move quickly; the guests are about to arrive.
Another person smiled and said, "Stop dreaming. You must understand that their direct descendants have a better cultivation environment and receive superior guidance from their elders compared to us. What do we have to compare with them? Unless we can produce a genius like Uncle Jianfeng, perhaps we could then receive the family's focused training." As he spoke, his face was filled with longing.
The annual martial arts competition of the Four Great Families selects three representatives from the younger generation of each family to compete. The younger generation determines the future of the family, thus the Four Great Families place great importance on this competition, hoping that their descendants can stand out in the event
"Oh, isn't this the son of the first genius of the Han family, the first waste, Han Fengxue?" A sarcastic voice broke the tranquility in Han Fengxue's heart. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw several young men approaching him.
Hearing his mother's confirmation, Han Fengxue couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had no fondness for that willful girl at all. "Perhaps I am overthinking it," he thought, recalling the events of today. He did not believe that things would be so simple; even if he were willing, the He family would never allow their third young lady to marry someone they considered a waste like him. "Han Fengxue thought to himself.
"Long time no see, you good-for-nothing young master," said a young man in purple, who was also the one who had just spoken.
Seeing her son’s awkward expression, Murong Qing smiled slightly: "Indeed, it is true. You and the third young lady of the Liu family were born on the same day, and your grandfather and the head of the He family, in their delight, verbally arranged this engagement, which also happens to be a match in social standing.
Upon hearing this, the young girl immediately flushed slightly and angrily exclaimed, "Nonsense, I would never have any engagement with this useless person."
