Just as Tang Yong and Zhao Donglai were about to scold him …
Suddenly, the crisp sound of a horse's hooves could be heard outside the door. It came from afar and then stopped abruptly.
The sound of the horse's hooves seemed to have stopped in front of the mansion.
Fu Lingtian stood up from his seat with a look of ecstasy. He excitedly pressed his palm against the seat beside him. With a bang, the seat actually exploded.
He was so excited that he couldn't control his Battle Qi!
"Good news, good news! Congratulations to the Old Master of your mansion for obtaining first place on the Martial Roll!"
There was a series of light footsteps. A person wearing a red official's robe, surrounded by two servants, jogged over. As he walked, he announced the good news loudly.
Looking at the approaching person, the air in the room suddenly froze.
If they were a little doubtful and in disbelief just now …
Now that the person who announced the good news was here, they had no choice but to believe it.
Young Master Fu won!
And he won first place!
Tang Meng was the first to recover from his shock. He smiled at Fu Lingtian eagerly and said, "Young Master Fu, congratulations on winning first place. I will ask Mother to hold a banquet for you in a while!"
Next was Zhao Donglai. He ignored Tang Yong and looked at Fu Lingtian with a complicated expression.
He originally thought that he was the one who was in the limelight today. He didn't expect Fu Lingtian to be even more impressive than him.
However, to be able to suppress Han Xuefei and Zhuge Yu, this strength was truly admirable.
He couldn't help but go up and say, "Congratulations, Brother Fu, for obtaining first place in the Martial Roll!"
Following that, the surrounding disciples of the Tang Family came to congratulate him.
The moment he heard the good news, Fu Lingtian was stunned. He had dreamed countless times of suppressing Han Xuefei to obtain first place. However, when all of this became reality, Fu Lingtian only felt his heart beat violently. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.
Excitement? Surprise?
Fu Lingtian felt as if he was living in a dream.
He narrowed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by people.
Then, he gave a perfunctory salute to the people around him. He glanced at the crowd and saw Tang Yong, who had been pushed to the corner.
Fu Lingtian could not help but laugh smugly. 'Haha, so what if that trash Tang Yong has the Third Prince's support?
He's just a piece of trash. How can he be compared to me, the number one in Han Tang?
In a while, when I receive the honor roll, I'll take the opportunity to humiliate this trash!
With Fu Lingtian topping the list, the atmosphere of the entire Marquis Estate was instantly ignited.
Not long after, First Madam and the Marquis hurried over from the rear courtyard. When they heard that Fu Lingtian had won first place, they immediately beamed with joy.
Fu Hongxue even came out with a big belly. She held onto Fu Lingtian's hand and was beaming with joy, just like a newlywed couple.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Fu Lingtian seemed to be shining with golden light, as if he was a god who had descended to the mortal world. His charm was boundless.
"Someone, reward me!" Fu Hongxue was so excited that her hands were trembling. She was so excited that she was about to faint.
At Fu Hongxue's command, an old maid who was already in charge of things by her side stuffed an ingot of ten taels of silver into the hands of the announcer. The announcer held the ingot of silver and squinted his eyes. He was so happy that he was about to faint. This family was really generous. They had given him a reward at the intersection, and now they wanted to give him another reward after entering the mansion.
Then, the Marquis Shenwu Mansion began to set off firecrackers. The tinkling sounds were even louder and longer than those of the Duke of Wei Mansion!
After setting off the firecrackers, the announcer announced the good news in public according to the rules. Then, under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, the announcer slowly unfolded the good news and read aloud, "Number one in the 30th year of the Han Tang Martial Honor Roll, Tang Yong!"
The announcer's voice broke the silence of the Tang Mansion.
The crowd behind him repeated the good news over and over again.
Number one in the Martial Honor Roll … Tang Yong!
In an instant, Fu Lingtian, who had already taken two steps forward to receive the good news, froze on the spot. The smile on his face quickly withered like a withered flower.
Number one was actually not him, but that good-for-nothing Tang Yong?
Fu Lingtian paused in his steps. In an instant, he felt as if his brain had been bombarded by a hammer, producing a buzzing sound. His entire body stiffened as he stared blankly at the announcer.
At the same time, when the crowd of the Tang Mansion behind him heard the good news, it was as if thunder had exploded above their heads!
Everyone was in an uproar.
"What?"
"It's that good-for-nothing Tang Yong … Ah, it can't be!
There must be a mistake! "
"Although Tang Yong isn't weak, he can't be compared to Han Xuefei and Zhuge Yu. Moreover, Han Xuefei killed a Rank Five Demonic Beast. She deserves to be number one!"
When the announcer heard someone questioning the good news, he immediately showed displeasure. He retorted loudly, "This year's number one on the Martial Honor Roll was decided by the founder himself. Anyone who has doubts can find the founder to judge!"
When the announcer finished speaking, everyone immediately shut their mouths and looked at Tang Yong in shock.
As the strongest Martial King in the Han Tang, the founder had a supreme position in the country. His words were the decree, and no one in the Han Tang dared to question him!
The words' decided by the founder 'carried more weight than the number one on the Martial Honor Roll!
One must know that the number one on the Martial Honor Roll was every year in the Han Tang. However, this was the first time in decades that the founder had decided on the Martial Honor Roll!
When the First Madam heard the news, her face immediately darkened. She was so angry that her entire body trembled. The bastard that she had tried so hard to kill had actually become number one on the Martial Honor Roll and was even decided by the founder!
With such a reputation, he would definitely have a meteoric rise in the future. How could she take revenge for her son?
Damn it, she shouldn't have listened to the Third Prince's nonsense and killed this bastard. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now!
The First Madam's eyes were filled with endless regret and despair!
She grabbed Marquis Shenwu's arm and said viciously, "Old Master, kill him!"
At this moment, Marquis Shenwu's face was as gloomy as water. His eyes swept past Tang Yong like lightning. Under the pressure of an expert, Tang Yong only felt a chill down his spine and his entire body trembled.
However, he still stubbornly raised his head and looked at Marquis Shenwu.
His gaze was firm and unyielding!
So what if you're a Martial Spirit expert?
So what if you're my father?
You want to kill me for no reason? I'm not convinced!
Perhaps the firm and unyielding look in Tang Yong's eyes had moved Marquis Shenwu. He actually looked away, but his gaze became even deeper and more terrifying.
"Who is Tang Yong? Come and receive the good news!"
The people of the Tang Mansion were silent. Until now, they had not recovered from the news that Tang Yong had become number one on the Martial Honor Roll.
In the crowd, Zhao Donglai looked at Fu Lingtian gloatingly and asked curiously, "Who is Tang Yong? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the surrounding disciples of the Tang Family were all looking at him with constipated expressions. Zhao Donglai was dumbfounded. Shouldn't they be looking for Tang Yong?
Why are they looking at him?
Zhao Donglai gradually felt that the people's gazes were not on him, but on his side?
Suddenly, Zhao Donglai thought of something and his body stiffened. His head turned to the side like a clockwork, clicking, clicking.
Then, he saw the young man who he had called trash and almost fought with him stand up. The crowd in front of him automatically parted to make way for him, and he walked step by step toward the official who was announcing the good news.
Zhao Donglai stared at the young man's back with his mouth agape. He was so shocked that he could not recover for a long time.
There was a voice that kept echoing in his heart.
So, he was Tang Yong!
So, he was not here to freeload, but to wait for the Martial Honor Roll …
