Chapter 141: Chapter 134: Young Master of the Li Family

"Sorry, Patriarch Tang, I have no intention of joining any family." Rosen said bluntly.

He wasn’t about to join the Tang Family and become someone else’s retainer just to pursue Tang Xichen.

"Then what are your plans for the future? If an external force wants to assassinate you, can you handle it alone?" Patriarch Tang showed a look of disappointment but still asked with concern.

"There’s no problem with that. Even if there are assassins, the target is Xiaozhang, who is just one of my aliases. Once I leave this tent, I can transform into various forms, unless the external assassins can see through my shape-shifting ability." Rosen replied.

Tang Xuanze pondered for a moment. Indeed, Rosen’s shape-shifting ability doesn’t just change appearance; even his aura changes, as if replicating the same target.

This means that even if Rosen transformed into Tang Xuanze standing in front of Tang Xichen, the latter would not be able to distinguish who is his own father.

"In any case, be careful." Tang Xuanze advised Rosen again, then turned his gaze to everyone:

"Everyone performed well in the solo competition this time. There will be a day off, and tomorrow will be the team competition."

"Everyone should rest well today, and remember not to wander around. Although we have arranged bodyguards nearby, it can’t be ensured to be foolproof."

There are obvious differences between the team competition and solo competition. In solo competition, alliances can be formed privately, but the competition system does not recognize this form of alliance. If allies’ armies are not forcibly controlled with commands, they would fight each other, and thus once an ally dies, a time bomb explodes.

However, team competitions automatically allow forming teams. There is no need to issue commands to subordinates, and allies will not fight each other. Even if an ally dies, their army will not attack allies.

This makes strategy more flexible. Previously worried that mixed armies were hard to command and prone to mutual slaughter, with legal alliances now, allied armies can mix together and be allocated freely, with greater control, no longer a disorganized rabble, allowing more varied formations to switch.

"In the team competition, Xichen and Xiaozhang worked well together. This time, I have great confidence in you in the team competition." Tang Xuanze said.

Since Rosen could use his trump card to beat Qianhuo in the solo competition, there should be no problem in the team competition either.

Of course, tomorrow’s team competition will arrange maps based on the number of participants, meaning two-person alliances will be placed on the same map, three-person alliances similarly, and so on, maps arranged based on the number of alliances.

When one of a three-person alliance is eliminated, it will be forcibly determined a two-person alliance and transferred to a two-person alliance map, and if no corresponding opponent exists, the chief of the alliance will allocate and disassemble the team to adapt to the rules.

The official explanation for such arrangements is to avoid overpowering less crowded alliances by more crowded ones in the early stages, to ensure fairness.

After all, under these rules, no matter the number of alliances, the number of battle rounds experienced is almost the same. Larger groups will eventually disband to face smaller groups after fighting similarly sized ones, while smaller groups encounter more disassembled opponents.

Tang Xuanze, along with Rosen and others, packed up the tent and returned to the assigned accommodation for the competition.

It was a five-star hotel, lavish and golden, one of the residences arranged by the competition organizers.

A residence could accommodate 300 participants and was set with numerous prohibitions. If participants engage in private battles before the competition, they would be stripped of their competition rights.

Upon entering the elevator, as the door opened, a group of people emerged from inside.

There were about five people, with a suit-clad man leading, his face marked by a worm-like scar, followed by a boy with bangs, and behind them all were bodyguards in black.

"Patriarch Li, what a coincidence?" Tang Xuanze said to the scar-faced man.

"I didn’t expect we’d be arranged in the same hotel." Patriarch Li seemed somewhat surprised and said, "I saw your daughter’s performance; she is quite qualified to be a daughter-in-law for our Li Family. However, I’m more interested in the young man beside you."

Patriarch Li came up to Rosen as he spoke, a hint of friendliness appearing on his scarred face.

Rosen: "..."

Tang Xuanze: "..."

A flash of hostility crossed Tang Xichen’s eyes, as she coldly looked at the boy with bangs behind Patriarch Li.

"You’re Xiaozhang, right? You don’t look much older than my son, but the hero you awakened is quite strong. Interested in joining our Li Family? I won’t treat you poorly, double whatever the Tang Family offers!" Patriarch Li said with a smile.

Tang Xuanze’s face changed and said, "Patriarch Li, poaching in front of me, isn’t that improper?"

"Oh, does that mean Xiaozhang has already joined your Tang Family?" Patriarch Li seemed a bit surprised and said, "In that case, let’s see the truth in the arena. I hope my son can surprise you."

With that, he led his people past Tang Xuanze and the others.

Tang Xuanze was bumped on the shoulder, stepping back, his face cooled somewhat, but he didn’t say much.

As the bangs boy behind Patriarch Li passed by Tang Xichen, his greasy hand actually lifted and caressed the hair by Tang Xichen’s ear.

This casual action left Xu Chen and Rosen immediately stunned.

Tang Xichen was even more surprised. Did the young master of the Li Family just flirt with her out of nowhere?

What was happening?!

Tang Xuanze didn’t witness this scene, so he was unaware, but Rosen and Xu Chen clearly saw that the hair by Tang Xichen’s ear was indeed flipped by that guy.

"Hair, smells nice."

The bangs boy nonchalantly uttered the sentence.

"Damn it!" Xu Chen was the first to snap, swinging a fist bright and clear at the bangs boy’s back of the head.

Tang Xichen’s gaze was also icy cold, and she didn’t stop Xu Chen.

Rosen wasn’t as impulsive as Xu Chen, though he did feel tempted to hit earlier. With Patriarch Li present, he held back.

Now with Xu Chen taking action, it was a chance to test what gave this bangs boy his arrogance.

The imagined scene of Xu Chen knocking the bangs boy down didn’t occur. Instead, several explosive sounds erupted in the air.

Upon witnessing, Xu Chen was thrown backwards with a face full of blood, fainting instantly.

"Patriarch Li, what do you mean by this?" Tang Xuanze noticed the situation and asked coldly.

"This was just a little sparring between kids. After all, the kid made the first move, and my son only retaliated, so the fault doesn’t lie with him." Patriarch Li replied calmly.

Just then, a few adjudicators from the competition appeared, promptly stripping Xu Chen of his competition qualifications.

"Pre-battle, attacking an opposing participant unprovoked is not allowed. Your actions have severely disrupted the order of the competition."
