At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and Ye Tian, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, smiled foolishly at Cold Frost.
"Brother Ye Tian..." After a moment of reaction, Cold Frost cheered and rushed down from the stands to embrace Ye Tian.
Although Ye Tian did not seize the grand flag, with Leng Yong severely injured and leaving the arena, it was clear who the victor of this selection was.
Cold Boyuan, along with the members of the Cold Family, also arrived at the arena. Everyone's eyes were filled with joy. Ye Tian's displayed strength and adaptability in this competition were undoubtedly at a genius level; in the near future, he would surely become a significant pillar for the Cold Family.
"Ye Tian, with you in the Cold Family, we are blessed," Cold Boyuan gently patted Ye Tian on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.
With a progress rate like Two Days Nine Seals and ten days for two stages, anyone could see what kind of achievements this young man would have in the future.
"Bo Yuan, congratulations on finding such a son-in-law," many senior figures from the Cold Family stepped forward to congratulate Cold Boyuan.
Since Ye Tian had won this competition, regardless of how he performed in the Martial Arts Selection Tournament, according to the rules of the Cold Family, his status as a prospective son-in-law was already established.
"Hehe, it's too early to say; we still don't know if Xiao Tian is willing to marry my mischievous daughter," Cold Boyuan said with a beaming smile, teasing Ye Tian.
"Haha, Xiaoshuang is definitely one of the best in both appearance and character in Spirit Martial Town. If this kid doesn't marry such a girl, wouldn't he be a fool?"
"Well, I wouldn't know; we should ask him," Cold Boyuan looked at Ye Tian, whose face was flushed.
At this moment, both Ye Tian and Cold Frost lowered their heads, staring at the floor in front of them, too shy to look up.
"I naturally... just don't know if Xiaoshuang..." Ye Tian stammered. Although he knew that Cold Frost was more than willing, he still hoped to hear her confirmation directly.
"Oh dear, we're still young!" Cold Frost turned away but wore a joyful expression on her face.
"I didn't say you should get married immediately; I just wanted to settle this matter first. Why are you in such a hurry?" Cold Boyuan pulled his daughter over and said with a mischievous smile, "What? Are you so eager to marry this kid?"
"Hahaha..." Many people burst into hearty laughter, teasing the two younger ones who were so embarrassed they wished they could find a hole to hide in. The laughter echoed in the Training Square for a long time before it finally faded away.
...
The sun seemed to be working hard these past few days, causing the snow on the ground to quietly melt away, forming small puddles in the depressions of the ground.
'Splash'
A pair of brand new black boots landed heavily in the muddy puddle, splattering mud all over...
"..." Ye Tian sighed helplessly and shook his head.
He was heading to Cold Bo Yuan Mansion because the victory in this competition was a great joy for both him and the Cold family. So when he parted ways at the Arena, Cold Boyuan had advised him to change into a fresh set of clothes before coming over to celebrate and discuss important matters.
Ye Tian naturally understood what Cold Boyuan meant by "important matters," so after returning to his residence, he repeatedly selected from his limited wardrobe before finally deciding on the outfit he was currently wearing.
As for these black boots, they were "generously provided" by Cold Bo Stone. After sending Ye Tian the new shoes, he didn't forget to remind him repeatedly, "My second brother said that the important matter is definitely to finalize your marriage with Xiaoshuang while it's hot. For such an important event, you need to prepare properly."
"Of course!" Ye Tian's response was reassuring.
On his way there, he hummed a little tune, gazing at the blue sky, his mind filled with Cold Frost's smiling face. While most people feel uplifted during happy occasions, he clearly felt overly elated.
Recalling Cold Bo Stone's words, Ye Tian looked down at his muddy clothes and felt a pang of regret.
"Change into another outfit? I'm afraid there's no time..." With that thought, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and continued on. When they met later, he would have to appear as someone who had just played in the mud...
Due to the vastness of Cold Family Garden, Ye Tian encountered many people along the way. However, upon seeing him, their expressions ranged from envy to shock, or they would deliberately strike up a conversation; no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
Winning this match, Ye Tian once again caused a sensation in the Cold Family. After this victory, everyone in the Cold Family no longer had any intention of rejecting him. On the contrary, they greeted him warmly whenever they saw him.
Cold Bo Yuan Mansion.
The four characters appeared before Ye Tian's eyes, but at this moment, he hesitated to step inside and lingered at the entrance.
"Hey! Young Master Ye, I heard the head of the family is going to betroth Second Miss to you. Why aren't you tidying up a bit?" As he passed by a guard, the guard cheerfully struck up a conversation.
"Uh... I..." Ye Tian was at a loss for words, stammering and unsure of how to respond.
Although the guard was teasing him, there was no malice in his tone; it was purely a joke.
"If Young Master Ye doesn't mind, I can go find you a set of clothes," the guard said kindly after noticing Ye Tian's awkwardness.
Ye Tian looked him up and down and saw that the guard was about the same height and build as he was.
"That would be greatly appreciated!" Ye Tian said excitedly, grateful for the offer.
"Young Master Ye, there's no need for such formalities. It's my honor to help you," the guard replied sincerely before leading Ye Tian to change clothes.
...
"Kid, I toast you with this drink!"
In the hall of Cold Bo Yuan Mansion, everyone was gathered around a rosewood Eight Immortals table. The table was laden with sumptuous dishes that filled the air with enticing aromas, whetting everyone's appetite.
The one raising his cup was Cold Bo Stone. He held a large bowl and left his seat to approach Ye Tian, wrapping an arm around his neck and shouting.
"Uncle Leng... can you really call that a cup..." Ye Tian pointed in shock at the massive bowl in Cold Bo Stone's hand, which could hold at least a pound of liquor, and asked hesitantly.
"Then I toast to you with a bowl!" Cold Bo Stone said, raising his hand, and with a gurgling sound from his throat, he quickly downed a large bowl of strong liquor.
Ye Tian watched this scene, clearly stunned. He secretly glanced at Cold Boyuan across from him, his eyes showing a plea for help.
"How can you not drink when your Uncle toasts you? Hurry up and down it!" Cold Boyuan had no intention of helping him out; instead, he added fuel to the fire and urged him on.
Hearing this, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and thought, "Since I can't escape, I might as well be bold about it!"
He picked up a large jar of liquor, removed the clay seal on top without hesitation, and poured it straight into his mouth.
Cold Bo Stone, known for his drinking capacity, was momentarily dumbfounded and muttered, "I didn't expect this kid to have such a capacity for liquor!"
Bang!
The jar landed heavily on the Eight Immortals table with a dull thud. After shaking a few times, Ye Tian finally managed to steady himself, his face turning visibly red at an alarming rate.
Cold Bo Stone shot Ye Tian a disdainful glance and sneered, "Damn it, so you're just showing off! Watch me!"
With that, Cold Bo Stone lifted another jar of strong liquor and downed it in one go.
However, after finishing, he showed no signs of being affected. He glanced at the slightly dazed Ye Tian and grinned, "Look at your lack of ambition! How can I trust you with Little Shuang?"
"Cough cough, big brother, isn't Xiaoshuang my daughter?" Cold Boyuan knew his older brother well. Although he appeared sober on the surface, he had already been drinking heavily.
"Uncle, I'm not looking for a drunkard; why would I need someone who can drink so much?" Cold Frost looked at Ye Tian with soft eyes and spoke up for him.
With everyone attacking him verbally, Cold Bo Stone shifted his target and shouted at Cold Moon, who was watching the commotion nearby: "Your sister's marriage has been arranged; what are you jumping around for?"
Cold Moon helplessly slapped her forehead upon hearing this. She knew how talkative her Uncle could get once he was drunk. So she quickly retorted, "My goal is to learn from Uncle! To pursue martial arts as my lifelong endeavor and live freely—how liberating that would be!"
"Wow, you little brat, dare to make fun of your Uncle!" Cold Bo Stone was so exasperated by his niece that he scratched his head in frustration, unable to find the words to retort.
The crowd burst into laughter at the scene.
...
Everyone had a bit too much to drink out of joy, and the banquet didn't break up until evening.
At this moment, Ye Tian was sitting on a small chair by the window, wearing a look of happiness on his face.
"In two years..."
He muttered to himself, and Cold Boyuan's words echoed in his mind: In two years, I will betroth Frosty to you as your wife.
Breeze lightly, Ye Tian quietly fell asleep with a smile on his face.
At the same time that Ye Tian fell asleep, in Cold Frost's boudoir, a delicate figure stood by the window, her eyes filled with longing and anticipation. With a smile on her lips, she murmured, "Ye Tian brother, now I am already your fiancée..."
