Level Up in Martial World

"I guess we need to wait now…" the old man bitterly said with a frown on his face as he went to the end of the line.

"You guys follow me," he said, and the group followed him.

"Don't mess this up, my daughter."

"Don't worry, father. I won't…"

The sun passed, and the morning became evening before their turn finally came.

The old man looked back, where there was an even bigger line than when they previously came, and heaved a sigh of relief. "Luckily we came early, or we might not get the chance to meet the young master."

A smile morphed on his face as he entered, and the group followed, all while an unknown person had infiltrated that they had no clue about.

"These guys are stupid and weak. At least they fulfilled my purpose. I just want to see how great this young master Lu Zhen is, and I will leave…" the man who was blending in with the group thought with a sneer on his face.

As the huge door opened, a blinding light flashed as the gold in the room reflected an eye-blinding gleam.

"Tsk tsk, what a show-off…" the man gritted his teeth with a malicious glint. Although it wasn't much valuable to them, they were still the highest currency of mortals. So using them to decorate the room just for this could be described in one word: "extravagant."

The old man was the first to swiftly recover from the eye-blinding light as he looked inside the room.

There was a seductive woman seated in a throne, her eyes flickering with an intelligent gleam as they assessed everyone.

The men in the group's eyes brightened when they saw the woman. However, suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended on the group.

Boom!

Almost everyone felt a terrifying pressure that forced them to avoid her icy cold gaze as they put their heads down.

"Good," Xia Mei muttered as she nodded her head.

"Who is the leader of this group?" she asked, her eyes glinting.

"It is me, madam," the old man respectfully said as he bowed to her.

"Who is the bride?"

"This one, madam, she is my daughter…" the old man pointed to the right side of him, where his daughter stood.

Instantly, Xia Mei's gaze focused on the woman, making her break out in a cold sweat. However, she managed to remain steady even with the terrifying pressure that descended on her.

"You are qualified," Xia Mei said with an uncaring gaze. "What is your name?"

"My name is Tai Shi," she said with a bow.

"Very well," Xia Mei clapped her hands, and servants came in to guide Tai Shi, while others guided the old man and his group to the other side.

The old man frowned at this.

"You will be staying at the guest house for now," Xia Mei said with an uncaring gaze as she nestled comfortably in her seat.

"Next," she spoke as a new group arrived, and the evaluation started again.

As the old man and the group were led by the servant, they saw a huge palace however in front of the other palaces surrounding it appeared rather lack lustrous and entered led by servants.

There were multiple groups just like them, sitting around the place and socializing.

The old man casually approached a servant and asked, "What is with these people here?"

The servant frowned as he looked at the old man, but he replied expressionlessly, "They are just like you guys. They have all given their daughters' hands to young master Lu Zhen and have been selected by the lady."

"So many?" the old man said with shock, as there were at least ten groups present.

"Yes," the servant replied uncaringly and left.

"What should we do, father?" the son of the old man asked with a confused expression.

"We just stay here," the old man replied with a resigned sigh. They went and mixed in, but no one noticed a shadow that separated from the group and directly went outside the door.

"That chick was quite feisty. I like a feisty girl…" the man muttered as he quickly hid from the guards.

However, he soon lost track of the place where he had previously gone, making him confused. Almost every building was similar to each other, making it very difficult for one to spot the previous location. He had to evade the guards as well, which made manoeuvring things very difficult for him.

"I will find that chick later; let's see that young master Lu Zhen first…" the man muttered with disappointment as he swiftly made his way to the biggest palace in the place.

"That must be the place."

Seeing the guards, which were increasingly becoming tighter, the man was even more sure that this was the place. While travelling in the shadows, he randomly spotted a servant and quickly knocked the man out in a swift manner, taking his disguise. He then headed towards the biggest palace among all the palaces, which stood out from the rest.

…

Lu Zhen was surrounded by beauties, each with a faint blush on their faces as they dressed him neatly and tidily. He stood there with a contemplative expression on his face.

"Leader," the maid's voice suddenly woke Lu Zhen up, and his crimson gaze focused on her.

"Hmm…" He looked at himself and said, "you guys can all leave now."

"Yes, Leader." The maids hurriedly left, but each of them had a blush on their faces with excitement.

"Young Master Lu Zhen is so handsome. I wish I could be his woman. Even a concubine would make me soar to heaven…"

"Stop dreaming. Not even becoming his maid is possible for us, remember Lily."

They felt a shiver down their backs when they heard Lily's name, and they became silent, as if in tacit understanding. Eventually, they all left, leaving Lu Zhen alone.

However, the shredded body of Lu Zhen would probably be imprinted in their minds forever.
