《Evil Emperor Dotes on Poisonous Wife》


 C1

    It was a huge forest, but it was ten miles around without any grass growing. Inside the cold pond, there was a cold and eerie aura wrapped around it.


    At first, it was an unending stream of screams, but later, the young girl didn''t even have the strength to scream. Her white clothes were all soaked in blood, and her smooth and tender face was still covered in blood.


    "Hahaha, big sister Su, look at her. It''s only been a short while, and she can''t hold on any longer."


    "That can''t be blamed on us. It was her luck that wasn''t good, she didn''t follow the rules of a woman, and did things that let the Prince Anxian down. Even if she died ten thousand times, it wouldn''t be enough for us to regret it."


    On the edge of the cold pond, two beautifully dressed girls chatted and laughed. Looking at this astonishing scene in front of them, they did not have a shred of sympathy in their hearts. Instead, they felt very satisfied.


    "I did not... I did not let down the Prince Anxian! " The young girl in the cold pond shook her head with all her might. She endured the pain in her body and wanted to make a final argument for herself. Her eyes were filled with stubbornness.


    Even though she knew that everything would be useless when she was in their hands.


    "Heh, Su Xiruo, if Prince Anxian sees your face now, I''m afraid that he will be scared to death!" One of the girls walked up and looked down at the "prey" that was caught in the water.


    Another young lady walked forward and raised her hand. A wave of force landed on the poisonous snake in front of Su Xiruo.


    "Ahhh ¡ª Su Man, even if I have to become a ghost, I won''t let you go!" Su Xiruo used all of his strength to try and struggle his way out of the cold pond to kill the two people who had framed him. However, he couldn''t see anything.


    "Hoh, such a huge grievance. Is it for the sake of avenging your dead mother, or for the Martial power that has dissipated in these thirteen years?" Su Man''s gentle face revealed a bit of terrifying killing intent, as he slowly explained his evil deeds.


    Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment, as though he had collapsed. "You were the ones who killed my mother, right?"


    "That''s right." Another young lady laughed coldly and answered honestly, "Only when your troublesome mother dies would I be able to become the only direct descendant of our Prime Minister''S Estate. I just don''t understand, we are both direct descendants, and it is only because you are the legitimate wife and I am born as an equal, so you can make an engagement with the Prince Anxian, but I, clearly haven''t lost anything to a trash like you, and I have nothing? Over time, you have become a trash that can''t even cultivate martial arts. Look, Prince Anxian doesn''t even like you anymore and wants to break the engagement with you. Hahaha ¡ª ¡ª If you live in this world, then you won''t have any face, you might as well die! "


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly as tears of despair flowed down her face along with the blood. Only then did she understand why she had slowly lost the ability to cultivate martial arts.


    She also finally understood why her mother would suddenly vomit blood and die when her body was so healthy.


    Everything was planned by the two cousin sisters, and her goal, was to replace him and marry the Prince Anxian!


    "I will kill all of you! I will kill all of you!" The poisonous snake had bitten her white body until her skin was covered. She knew that she had already lost completely, but she was really not willing.


    "You know this too late. Today is the day you die. Go die!" Su Man did not speak anymore, and poured all of the poison in his hand into the cold pond.


    Immediately, the poisonous snakes in the Wintry Spring were stimulated, they all started to gnaw on Su Xiruo''s body crazily, burying him inside. In a moment he had lost all signs of life, and became quiet.


    "Elder sister, if we kill her directly like this, will the Old Mistress blame us?" The girl at the side looked at Su Man, her hands trembling.


    Su Man''s face changed as he revealed a gentle smile, "Don''t be afraid, Sister Qianxi is just an unfavoured daughter with a lowly status. Since your father had already ordered her to be placed in the forest, you can see how unconcerned he is, even if he dies, no one will pursue this matter!"


    "Big sister is right." A sly smile appeared on Su Jinxi''s face, and he left with Su Man, satisfied.


    Su Xiruo, Su Xiruo, from now on, I am the only direct daughter of the Su family, and you, will never have the fortune to fight for anything with me again.


    After the two of them left, the entire Snake Pond was frighteningly quiet. After a moment of silence, there was suddenly movement again.


    One year later.


    Inside and out of the Prime Minister''S Estate, there were many lanterns and decorations, celebrating the birthday of Old Mistress. From the outside of the residence, it looked grand and grand.


    In front of the manor stood a thirteen or fourteen year old girl. She wore a long blue dress, and her hair was simply tied up with a silver hairpin.


    Behind the young girl stood a maid. She was dressed even more simply. From the looks of her clothes, she looked like a downtrodden person.


    "Miss, are you really going back?" The maid asked softly, "Even though today is Old Mistress''s birthday, it''s also your memorial day. However, not a single person in the Prime Minister''S Estate will remember you."


    The young girl lowered her head slightly as the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.


    It had been a year, and indeed, no one could remember just how, on this day a year ago, he was framed by her good sister, and died on the spot of his Snake Pond!


    She, Su Xiruo, had always remembered this grudge. Moreover, she would definitely make those people repay back a hundredfold!


    However, this had nothing to do with Old Mistress. In the entire Prime Minister''S Estate, only Old Mistress truly cared for her, her granddaughter, because she was unfavoured and was bullied at every turn. Only Old Mistress would protect her.


    She, Su Xiruo, was very clear about the meaning of grudges and favors, so this time, she came back because she wanted to see the Old Mistress and because she wanted to pay back all the humiliation she had suffered a year ago.


    "Knock on the door." Su Xiruo parted her lips, a trace of confidence appearing in her eyes.


    "Yes." The maid then took a step forward and lightly knocked on the Prime Minister''S Estate door.


    After a while, someone opened the door, and upon seeing that it was two ordinary people dressed in regular clothing, hurriedly closed the door, and said with a disdainful tone: "Quickly scram, scram, don''t let your Prime Minister''S Estate be stained with your bad luck!"


    "Keep knocking." Su Xiruo stared at the closed door and coldly ordered.

 C2

    "Yes sir!" The female attendant knocked on the door again. This time, however, no one paid any more attention to her.


    "Harder!" Su Xiruo''s thin lips slightly opened as she coldly spat out these three words.


    The maid increased the number of times and knocked the door again and again. Finally, the person inside opened the door. This time it was the butler who opened the door.


    "Who is it? Didn''t I already say ¡­"


    "Housekeeper Liu, do you still remember me?" Su Xiruo interrupted him coldly.


    Hearing this familiar voice, Housekeeper Liu suddenly raised his head and was shocked: "El-Eldest Miss ¡­" Is that you? "


    Ah, that''s not right. One year ago, because of something that let the Prince Anxian down, the young miss was sent to the little village.


    This matter had already passed by the year. Originally, his entire Prime Minister''S Estate had already forgotten about this matter, but he never would have thought that today, the eldest miss would actually appear in front of him alive and well.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "I will trouble you to inform them that I have specially rushed back to attend Grandmother''s birthday banquet!"


    Housekeeper Liu only felt that Eldest Miss''s tone of voice was different from before. In the past, Eldest Miss always spoke softly and weakly, but this time, she seemed to have a lot more confidence and momentum.


    He thought that this matter was no trivial one, and had to be reported to the Second Miss first. Thus, he pretended to be polite as he agreed, "Alright, the First Miss will wait here, this old servant will go and report to the Old Mistress!"


    Housekeeper Liu hurriedly ran into the Prime Minister''S Estate s, and entered the main hall through the back door. At this moment, there were countless guests in the main hall, bustling with noise and excitement, and an extraordinary old woman with a kind face was sitting on the main seat.


    However, Old Mistress''s face was full of worry. Even though it was his birthday, he could not muster up any interest.


    Beside the old woman stood a slim young girl in pink, who had been coaxing the old woman to be happy. "Grandmother, it''s your birthday today, so just forget about all the unhappy things that have happened. Look, many officials have come to congratulate you!"


    "Heh, Sumire Xi, you guys, you only remember my birthday, but you don''t remember it. Today is the day of Xi Ruo''s sacrifice!" When Old Mistress said this, his tears could not help but fall again.


    The young girl''s expression instantly changed. The only person Old Mistress remembered was Su Xiruo, even though that person had already been dead for a year, he would never forget it!


    She hated it, no matter how she acted, she was still unable to take Su Xiruo''s place in the Old Mistress''s heart.


    Just then, Housekeeper Liu sneaked into Su Jinxi''s ears and whispered into them.


    After Su Jinxi heard this, his face revealed astonishment, and then ordered the Maidservant beside him: "Yun Bing, Housekeeper Liu, go and serve this esteemed guest well for now, I''ll be over in a while!"


    Yun Bing immediately understood what her mistress meant and said meaningfully: "Yes!" Then he left with Housekeeper Liu.


    Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan waited for a while at the door before Housekeeper Liu returned: "Eldest Miss, please come in, Old Mistress is currently in the main hall, he cannot leave, let this servant bring you to the side yard to wait first!"


    Su Xiruo thought, what the hell was this all about? Housekeeper Liu''s thoughts were still as strange as before.


    However, she pretended that she didn''t know anything and followed Housekeeper Liu to a simple and crude side yard.


    Not only was it simple and crude, it even seemed very remote. In this place, one could not even hear the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers from the main hall.


    First Miss, please wait here for a moment. Old Mistress will send someone to summon you later! Housekeeper Liu finished his orders, and without even pouring Su Xiruo a cup of tea, he left the side courtyard.


    "Mistress." At this time, Qing Yuan was a little dissatisfied, "Isn''t this person from Prime Minister''S Estate a little too slow? No matter what, you are still the big miss of Prime Minister''S Estate right?"


    Su Xiruo was already used to this kind of treatment, and was not surprised at it at all. "A year has passed, and they still talk like that."


    Most of the people in the Prime Minister''S Estate were people who possessed great power, and would try their best to curry favor with anyone who developed it. Those who lost their momentum would live to the point where they wouldn''t be able to match up to their subordinates.


    Since the death of her mother, she had had enough of this feeling of indifference and helplessness. She had to pay them back double!


    At this moment, a mama came in with a cup of tea. She respectfully placed it on the table and said, "Eldest Miss, please have a cup of tea!"


    Su Xiruo did not care too much, but unexpectedly, the moment the wet nurse turned around, she suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeves, and as if she had prepared it beforehand, she rushed towards Su Xiruo''s face.


    When the blade was almost reaching her eyes, Su Xiruo finally regained his senses, but he was still neither fast nor slow. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the mama''s hand, and with a slight tug, only the sound of bones breaking could be heard.


    "How dare you!" Qing Yuan hated that he couldn''t just kill this mama with a slap.


    "Su Xiruo, you!" The mama looked at Su Xiruo with wide eyes, but there was only fear left in her eyes.


    After all, he had the strength of a martial artist at the fifth level. Although his strength was not high, it was better than the young miss who did not have much martial power.


    But just now, the young miss'' attacks were extremely nimble, and her martial power had most likely surpassed his own.


    "The name of the young miss, is that something you can call directly?" Su Xiruo''s tone was as cold as ice.


    The mama lowered her head and hurriedly admitted her guilt. "Eldest Miss, I have offended you. Please forgive me!"


    "Is this the attitude of you admitting your mistake?" The meaning behind Su Xiruo''s words, was to make her kneel.


    The mama''s eyes were quite sharp as she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. "It''s all this servant''s fault. Eldest Miss, since you don''t remember this vile person, just let this servant go!"


    While she was speaking, Grandma had not given up. She quickly picked up the dagger on the ground and wanted to kill again. This time, Su Xiruo did not show any mercy and used his hand to grab the dagger and stabbed it into Grandma''s chest.


    The alluring blood flowed out, and the mama''s eyes were wide open as she fell to the ground, dead.


    "Mistress, shouldn''t you ask who sent her first?" Qing Yuan still had some reservations in his heart.


    "No need." Su Xiruo did not even need to think to know that this was definitely her good sister, sent by Su Jinxi. She looked at the corpse on the ground, her eyes filled with disgust, and ordered, "Drag her out and deal with her!"


    "Yes sir!" Qing Yuan then dragged the corpse out.


    Su Xiruo was a little distracted, he thought, nevermind, there might not be any results if he waited any longer, so he might as well go to the main hall to see the Old Mistress.


    Therefore, she stepped out of the door, and at this time, Su Jinxi also rushed in from outside.


    When Su Jinxi looked at the girl in front of him, he was dumbfounded, thinking that he had seen wrongly. Su Xiruo! "


    How could it be, how could it be her?

 C3

    One year ago, Su Xiruo had already died miserably in Snake Pond, so even if she was lucky enough to survive, with that intense snake poison, any one of those would be enough to kill her!


    But now, she was standing right in front of him. There wasn''t even the slightest change in her appearance, and she was still as cold as ever, so beautiful that it would cause one to be jealous!


    Su Jinxi mustered his courage and walked forward arrogantly with his fingers curled tightly around his waist to hide his guilt, "Su Xiruo, it''s really you! You really came back? "


    She could hardly believe that the person in front of her was someone who had already died once a year ago.


    "You seem very disappointed to see me back." Su Xiruo looked at her calmly, his tone filled with disdain.


    "Hmph, so what if you''re back?" Although he did not know what had happened this year, Su Jinxi still had some confidence, "Today, your Prime Minister''S Estate has long since changed, and you are no longer that lofty direct daughter!"


    Su Xiruo glanced at her, and said disapprovingly: "Su Jinxi, I am the true direct descendant of a girl, and you are destined to be forever inferior, recognizing yourself as a lowly woman!"


    "You!" Su Jinxi hated it when she brought up her birth. He angrily reached out his hand, wanting to slap her.


    Su Xiruo had long anticipated her actions, so he slightly moved backwards to dodge it. Then, he turned around and slapped Su Jinxi on the face.


    "Su Xiruo, how dare you hit me!" Su Jinxi held his swollen face in pain and looked at her wide-eyed. He felt this was a little unbelievable.


    In her memories, Su Xiruo had always been a weak and delicate person, and had always been bullied, to the point where he didn''t dare to speak. At that time, Su Xiruo wasn''t doted upon by his father, and due to his low martial power, he could even be bullied around.


    However, Su Jinxi thought that she had been careless just now. Right now, with her Seventh Rank''s Martial Body Realm strength, her strength could be considered not bad among her peers. It was more than enough to teach a trash Su Xiruo a lesson.


    "This slap is a warning to you to disrespect your eldest sister and to offend your superiors!" Su Xiruo looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes devoid of any fear.


    Su Jinxi slowly stood up, and the martial power in his body started to erupt.


    Su Xiruo slightly frowned as he instantly sensed that Su Jinxi had the strength of a martial body cultivator.


    The continent she currently resided in was called Fine Star Continent.


    In the mainland, cultivators started to train Martial power. When they first entered the Martial Dao Realm, they would start to train Martial power. After they broke through the Martial Force Realm, they would enter the Martial Body Realm, which had higher attainments.


    As for the strength of a Martial Saint and above, that was the legendary Divine Rank. At the very least, she had never seen one in the Empire.


    Su Jinxi was only fourteen years old and had the strength of a Martial Body Realm practitioner. Her talent could already be considered not bad, so she was very confident.


    However, Su Xiruo still maintained his composure, waiting for Su Jinxi''s martial power to approach his face, he raised his hand and swung out, directly sending Su Jinxi''s body flying.


    "Su Xiruo, you... What martial skill is this? " Su Jinxi was extremely unwilling, but he still felt that he had underestimated Su Xiruo.


    Only those who had reached the Martial Master realm would have the qualifications and the ability to train in martial arts. Su Xiruo''s move just now was too fast, so fast that she was unable to see clearly what it was.


    Could it be that Su Xiruo was already a martial arts master?


    No, this was absolutely impossible. It was obvious that a year ago, she was just a piece of trash!


    "What martial skill is that?" The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted into a mysterious arc.


    Su Jinxi was flustered and exasperated, he turned around and pulled out a sword from Domestic Servant''s waist and pointed it at Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, I want to kill you!"


    "Please calm your anger, Second Miss!" Domestic Servant was afraid that someone might lose his life so he hurriedly advised, "This is still the young miss ¡­ Today is Old Mistress''s birthday! If Old Mistress were to see the blood-red light, I''m afraid that he would definitely blame us! "


    "Cut the crap, get lost!" He pointed at Su Xiruo''s face, "Su Xiruo, you did not follow the rules of a woman, and have already been removed from the Su Family. If you still dare to return today, you will be dishonoring the Su Family, and today, I will clean up the mess for father!"


    "Okay! I want to see who will clean up who." Su Xiruo was not to be outdone, he stepped forward, and easily dodged Su Jinxi''s blade, following that, he grabbed her arm and gently raised it up.


    Su Jinxi immediately threw away the blade in his hand in pain, he could still clearly hear the sound of his bones breaking, "Ah! Su Xiruo... What are you doing? "


    Su Xiruo acted as if he had thrown away trash, and pushed her out with a burst of force, looking extremely disgusted: "Today is my grandmother''s birthday, I don''t want to waste my time with you, so I''ll cripple your arm to show my punishment. We will settle this matter later!"


    Only now did Su Jinxi realize that his right arm had completely lost all feeling, and was unable to move. Seeing that Su Xiruo was about to leave, he immediately shouted an order: "Su Xiruo, stop right there, someone come, stop her!"


    However, the three Domestic Servant s, who had just seen Su Xiruo''s attack, did not dare to overestimate their strengths and blocked his attack. They carefully looked at Su Xiruo and gave way.


    "Miss, wait for me!" Qing Yuan immediately followed along, "Miss, why didn''t you just teach that Su Jinxi a lesson?"


    "Now is not the time. There will be a good show later." Su Xiruo had an idea in his heart.


    If he had just taught Su Jinxi a lesson, he would at most vent his anger.


    But what she had to do was to make Su Jinxi lose all his reputation, and let everyone change their opinion of her. This would be the most vicious!


    The Old Mistress''s birthday banquet was extremely lively. Many ministers and officials were present, and most of them were not only giving face to Prime Minister''S Estate, but also respecting this Prime Minister''s wife.


    Su Xiruo slowly approached the main hall, but was blocked by two guards: "How dare you, not just anyone can casually enter the hall!"


    Su Xiruo raised his head and looked at them with a gaze as cold as ice.


    From what they could remember, the eldest miss seemed to have committed suicide in a small village, and her sudden appearance in front of them today was indeed scary.


    "This Miss has specially rushed back to Prime Minister''S Estate to congratulate Grandmother on her death. Su Xiruo glanced at them and spoke coldly.


    "This... "Yes!" No matter what they had done, the eldest young miss''s identity was still there after all. As servants, they naturally could not stop her, so they had no choice but to give way.


    Just then, the entire hall was in an uproar. Originally, a few of the singers were playing a song, but Su Xiruo walked in openly and knelt in the middle of the hall: "My granddaughter has specially come to congratulate Old Mistress on her birthday!"


    His tone was confident and sonorous, attracting everyone''s attention.


    Old Mistress heard this familiar voice and slowly raised his head. He squinted his eyes, but he could still not see clearly. "You are, you are?"

 C4

    Although she couldn''t see clearly, she was still very excited by the sound.


    "Su Xiruo!"


    Her father Su Yuanqing saw the face in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat, "Why are you here?"


    He had never thought that his daughter, who had been dead for a year, would suddenly appear in front of everyone today.


    "Hurry up and let me take a look!"


    Hearing that name, the Old Mistress immediately waved Su Xiruo over, signalling for her to come to his side.


    Su Xiruo was a little uneasy in his heart, but he still stood up and went over to the seat right next to him: "Grandma, it''s me, Ruo Er, I''m back!"


    In the next second, Old Mistress''s eyes were brimming with tears, she tightly hugged Su Xiruo''s thin body: "Ruo Er, my Ruo Er is back, the heavens actually gave my Ruo Er back to me!"


    Before this, she doted on Su Xiruo the most, but because he was born cowardly and didn''t like fighting, she always suffered a loss.


    So she felt very pained, and would have thought of ways to give this granddaughter of hers if there was anything good, but she didn''t expect it either, to attract Su Jinxi''s jealousy.


    "Ruo Er is unfilial, I was late."


    Su Xiruo felt a little guilty in his heart.


    Obviously, she had been missing him every day for the past year. Therefore, she vowed to herself that this time, when she came back, she would be very filial to her grandmother.


    "It''s good that you''re back, it''s good that you''re back!"


    Old Mistress hugged her, and couldn''t bear to let go, "My Ruo Er has lost weight, he must have suffered a lot outside!"


    Everyone saw the dairyman on the spot. One of the young ladies in the seats was the most agitated, she almost ran over to hug Su Xiruo: "Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo actually came back!"


    "Congratulations Old Mistress, today''s double celebration has arrived!"


    Immediately, people in the audience began to congratulate him.


    But yet, he couldn''t directly have Su Xiruo pulled down. After all, with so many people watching, it wouldn''t make sense for him to do so.


    Right at this moment, Su Jinxi held onto an arm that was crippled, and came in while crying. "Grandma, Father, don''t believe her words, Su Xiruo came back with a purpose, she just injured me, and even crippled one of my arms!"


    After he finished speaking, he revealed his injured arm to Su Yuanqing and cried, "Father, you have to avenge me!"


    Su Yuanqing looked at those scars, and without understanding the situation, he immediately berated Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, you hurt little sister the moment you returned, what kind of peace is that?"


    The Old Mistress hurriedly defended Su Xiruo, "Yuan Qing, things have not been made clear yet. Don''t scold me, I believe Ruo Er would never do something like this!"


    Old Mistress was very clear that Su Jinxi liked to cause trouble sometimes.


    "Grandma, I''m already like this, why are you still protecting Su Xiruo!"


    Su Jinxi was so angry that he almost couldn''t speak.


    "Su Xiruo, what''s your explanation?"


    Su Yuanqing stared at Su Xiruo, thinking that with the facts laid out in front of her, she couldn''t think of anything to argue about.


    "Ruo Er, don''t be afraid. Just speak the truth.


    Old Mistress''s tone was very gentle.


    So, Su Xiruo lowered his head slightly, opened his sleeves, and revealed the sinister wound on his arm, he started to feign pity: "Grandma, father, little sister is much stronger than I am now, I am just a piece of trash, how could I possibly hurt her? These injuries, they were all caused by little sister just now, originally, I thought, today is your birthday, if you want to settle things, just bear it, you can endure it for now, but little sister actually bit back, and said that I hurt her!"


    While talking, Su Xiruo''s eyes were bloodshot, her tears falling down, giving off a lovely vibe, looking at her with pity.


    "Su Xiruo, don''t you spout nonsense! It was you who injured me, I can''t even get close to you!"


    Su Jinxi opened his eyes wide, wanting to explain himself.


    Su Xiruo looked at her innocently: "Little Sister, now you are this Prime Minister''S Estate''s most favored daughter, I don''t want to fight over anything with you, why are you making things difficult for me?"


    "Father, she lied. What I said was the truth. Please believe me!"


    Su Jinxi grabbed Su Yuanqing''s arm, afraid that he would not believe her.


    Su Yuanqing also felt that it was a little suspicious.


    Su Jinxi''s current strength was at the martial body realm, and one year ago, he had only entered the third level of the martial realm. Even if a year had passed, his strength still wouldn''t have been able to surpass Su Jinxi''s.


    However, he believed that Su Jinxi would not say those words for no reason, so he opened his mouth: "Su Xiruo, are you lying?


    With that, Su Yuanqing raised his hand and probed Su Xiruo''s martial power.


    Su Jinxi thought, his father was a 9-star Earth Martial Master, and was about to become a Heaven Martial Master. How could he not sense Su Xiruo''s true strength?


    She laughed, as though she was watching a good show, and sat down, waiting for Su Xiruo to reveal his true feelings.


    But, Su Xiruo snorted coldly, and remained calm, allowing Su Yuanqing to probe.


    "This ¡­"


    Su Yuanqing had sensed it for a long time, only to see Su Xiruo''s body emitting a faint transparent light, indicating that he was in the Martial Seizing Stage, and his martial power was extremely weak.


    This girl, her strength didn''t increase at all in a year?


    The people that came to watch the show all smiled, but most of them were ridiculing him. The dignified Prime Minister''s daughter was still a good-for-nothing at the Martial Disciple Stage!


    But Su Yuanqing felt that something was amiss, suddenly, he saw a trace of craftiness in Su Xiruo''s eyes, revealing a tinge of provocation.


    Su Yuanqing''s heart was very unhappy, a burst of energy condensed in the palm of his hand, and directly attacked Su Xiruo in the face.


    He thought, with his probing, Su Xiruo should be able to help out, unless she wants to die!


    But Su Xiruo still stood firmly without moving, and stood there in a daze, as if he did not know what to do.


    In her heart, she was already prepared to take this move. In any case, she wouldn''t die, even if she did spread the rumor publicly, she could also make Su Yuanqing bear the notoriety of intentionally hurting his daughter.


    "Ruo Ruo, be careful!"


    Who knew that at this time, the young lady who was sitting at the table before Su Xiruo, would step forward without a care for her own safety, blocking right in front of Su Xiruo.


    This young lady was a good friend of hers from before; her General''S Estate was precious, and her name was Ye Zhuozhuo.


    Now that she was in danger, if Ye Zhuozhuo really suffered from her father''s palm, he would definitely be severely injured!


    Just as Su Xiruo was hesitating on whether or not he should make a move, a man flew up to him and raised his hand.


    Then, the man nervously hugged Ye Zhuozhuo, "Brilliant, are you stupid? Aren''t you afraid that you''ll be injured?"


    Seeing that he had almost injured the daughter of the General''S Estate, Su Yuanqing immediately apologized: "Miss Ye, this old man had messed up just now.

 C5

    It had to be known that the daughter of this General''S Estate could not be offended, and was even more honorable than the princess. This was because she had an elder brother who held the military power of the empire, and a current prince as her fiance.


    Even if it was Prime Minister''S Estate, they could not afford to offend him!


    Ye Zhuozhuo coldly snorted, as he grabbed onto Su Xiruo''s arm: "If she were to just return and be injured by a useless person like Su Jinxi, not only will you not help her, you would even try to probe her, you would simply want to put her to death!"


    "This old man was only probing and did not really plan to make a move." Su Yuanqing was sly and cunning, he pretended to be innocent.


    At this time, the man beside Ye Zhuozhuo spoke up, "Alright, Prime Minister, we have finished our probing. Everyone has seen it. It is Old Mistress''s birthday today, so on such a good day, it would be better to not cause any trouble! "


    Obviously, he was trying to be a peacemaker and wanted this matter to be resolved peacefully.


    "Your Highness is right." Su Yuanqing naturally gave face to the Duke, and fiercely glared at Su Xiruo, "Then I''ll believe you for now, let''s sit down!"


    "Wait!" "Since that''s the case, then it means that Su Xiruo, who was injured by Su Jinxi, is still framing him. All the Masters are present today, and I hope that the Prime Minister will handle this matter impartially, and not let this matter go!"


    Su Yuanqing''s face darkened. After all, he had always doted on his own little daughter, so he didn''t care about Su Xiruo in the slightest.


    But now, the Duke had already spoken, and it was Su Jinxi who was in the wrong.


    "Men, pull the Second Miss down and spend a month in seclusion. You are not allowed to take even half a step outside the room without my permission!" Su Yuanqing had to give the order.


    Su Xiruo scoffed coldly, thinking, Su Yuanqing really cherished his little daughter, and couldn''t bear to bear to receive too heavy of a punishment.


    However, this was just the beginning. She wanted to tear apart Su Jinxi''s ugly face bit by bit, making her lose her reputation!


    "Father, don''t, don''t! I was really wronged!" No matter how much Su Jinxi struggled, he was still dragged down.


    "Come, Ruo Er, come sit beside me!" Old Mistress immediately let Su Xiruo sit beside him.


    Su Xiruo sat down beside Old Mistress, but in his mind, he was thinking about what had just happened.


    The man who spoke up for him just now should be the little brother of the current Emperor in Great Gan Empire, Mu Lingxi. It was said that his martial prowess was high and his talent was extraordinary.


    However, this prince''s mind was completely set on the imperial government, so he chose to be the idle prince and stayed inseparable with Ye Zhuozhuo.


    What was even more strange was that Su Xiruo had felt a strange power from Ye Zhuozhuo''s body just now.


    It was a type of beast martial power, and its attribute was rather dark.


    And this beast martial spirit energy was extremely dense.


    Before this, Su Xiruo had always been searching for the Yin Attribute''s beast martial power, offering it to his foster father, to cure his foster father of his injury. Now, he finally had some clues.


    Su Jinxi was trapped in the room and continued to smash things. He did not stop at all as he continued to curse, "Bitch, that bitch Su Xiruo, once she comes back, she gets lucky!"


    "Miss, please calm your anger!" Maidservant advised softly from the side, "Don''t be so angry!"


    "Shut up!" Su Jinxi''s slap landed on the Maidservant''s face and instantly, the little Maidservant was smashed to the ground, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth as he sobbed softly.


    "What bad luck!" Su Jinxi didn''t mind at all, he only felt that this Maidservant would only bother him.


    "Wuxi!" At this moment, a sobbing voice of a woman could be heard from outside, "Get out of the way, I want to see my daughter!"


    The one who came was the second wife of Prime Minister''S Estate, the Mrs Zhang. But since the first wife had passed away, this aunt had become the legal and proper wife.


    "Mother!" The moment he saw Mrs Zhang, Su Jinxi started to complain, "It''s all because of that bitch Su Xiruo. I was placed under house arrest by my father and my arm was crippled.


    "I wasn''t here for a while, but something like this happened. When mother heard about what happened at the banquet just now, she rushed over to see you." Mrs Zhang also doted on her daughter dearly, "Sumire Xi, you must be feeling wronged!"


    "Mother, quickly think of a way, teach that Su Xiruo a lesson and let me out!" As Su Jinxi spoke, his tears almost fell.


    Mrs Zhang''s eyes revealed a little fierceness: "Daughter, don''t be anxious, I''ll get the doctor to treat your arm in a while. After the banquet is over and no one is watching, I''ll help you teach that bitch Su Xiruo a lesson and seek justice for you!"


    "Thank you, mother." Su Jinxi immediately expressed his thanks, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.


    Su Xiruo, let''s see if you can still rely on your own power to do whatever you want!


    The main entrance of Prime Minister''S Estate.


    Su Xiruo personally saw Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi off, and did not forget to thank the two of them: "During the banquet just now, I thank the Prince for helping me out."


    "We''re all on the same side, there''s no need to thank them." Mu Lingxi did not mind this at all, "You are a brilliant good friend, and are also my friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to tell me!"


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, she had not interacted much with Mu Lingxi previously, but she did not expect this prince to be so straightforward.


    "Ruo Ruo, I still have some matters to attend to today, so I can''t stay here any longer. Tomorrow, I''ll come again to play with you, and if you''re free, you can come to General''S Estate to play with me!" Ye Zhuozhuo patted Su Xiruo''s shoulder, as if he was extremely unwilling to leave.


    "Alright, when I''m free, I''ll come find you." Su Xiruo agreed immediately. Towards Ye Zhuozhuo, she did not have much guard against him.


    Even if Ye Zhuozhuo didn''t say it, she would have gone to the General''S Estate in the future and found the location of the beast martial power!


    After sending these two people off, just as Su Xiruo was about to return and personally visit the Old Mistress, he was stopped by a familiar voice.


    "Su Xiruo, wait!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see that the man in front of him was dressed in lavish purple clothing, holding onto a fan in his hand, looking extremely elegant.


    She naturally had some memories of this person. He was the Prince Anxian who was betrothed to her before, and yet was entangled with Su Jinxi. Mu An.


    And now, Su Xiruo''s memories of Mu An, were very shallow. Without saying a word, he turned and left.


    "Su Xiruo, why do I feel that when you come back, you seem to have changed?" Mu An saw that she was ignoring him, and wanted to go up and talk to her instead.

 C6

    He didn''t know why, but he had previously thought that Su Xiruo was subservient to her and always dressed up as a degenerate. However, after a year, when they met again, she seemed to have become a completely different person.


    Not only did she become more beautiful, even her demeanor and demeanor had increased greatly. Unknowingly, she had actually managed to overtake his thoughts.


    In that previous comparison, even Su Jinxi was inferior to her.


    "The Prince Anxian has not changed at all, and is still as superficial as before." Su Xiruo did not give him any face at all.


    When she said these words, Qing Yuan, who was behind her, couldn''t help but laugh. She thought, her master''s temper could be considered good, if it was in normal times, he would probably kill this Prince Anxian.


    "One year ago, I cancelled the marriage agreement, and now, I''m soon going to marry Su Jinxi. I know that your heart is in pain, and you look quite pitiful. How about I take you in as well, and be my concubine!"


    In Mu An''s opinion, this was a gift, but in Su Xiruo''s opinion, it was a humiliation.


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s lips raised slightly, and he laughed mockingly: "Prince Anxian, as the dignified direct daughter of Prime Minister''S Estate, I can only be the legal wife, doesn''t that mean that you''re looking down on Prime Minister''S Estate as well?"


    If the direct daughter of the Prime Minister''S Estate was only fit to be a concubine to a duke, if word of this got out, it would undoubtedly be an insult to the Prime Minister''S Estate!


    Mu An was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond. "Could it be that you still want to be the main wife of the County Princess?"


    "No, I don''t want this County Princess. It''s just that you''re not worthy of me." Su Xiruo was too lazy to waste words with him, she simply turned the tables and humiliated him, "However, if the Duke really has a deep affection for me, and his Prime Minister''S Estate enters into his body, maybe I can consider it!"


    "Su Xiruo, I think you must be crazy! Nonsense!" Mu An could no longer bear to listen to any further.


    He was a dignified Duke of Great Gan Empire, so how could he marry her and be her husband? Just thinking about it, Su Xiruo was obviously humiliating him!


    However, for some unknown reason, the more she humiliated herself, the more Mu An wanted to conquer this woman!


    "Since you''re unwilling to even marry into the family, it looks like the king still has no sincerity after all. Please leave!" Su Xiruo pointed to the direction of the door and directly ordered for them to leave.


    Being humiliated like that by her, Mu An also felt that he could not stay any longer: "Su Xiruo, just you wait!"


    With that, he left the Prime Minister''S Estate with a face full of dust.


    Su Xiruo laughed disdainfully, completely disregarding Mu An.


    However, at this moment, she seemed to have sensed another presence approaching her.


    "Su Xiruo, you shameless woman, you''re here to seduce the Prince Anxian again!" Mrs Zhang angrily blocked in front of her, with five or six Domestic Servant following behind her.


    Mrs Zhang heard some of the conversation between Prince Anxian and Su Xiruo. It was because he didn''t dare to offend Prince Anxian, that he didn''t show himself.


    "Mrs Zhang, you can''t speak carelessly. It was clearly Prince Anxian who seduced me just now, why did it end up like this in your mouth?" Su Xiruo stared at her eyes without any fear.


    "Hmph, why are you still trying to argue? If it wasn''t for you taking the initiative to hook up with me, Prince Anxian wouldn''t even bother to respond to you!" Mrs Zhang said with confidence that she was the one who had seduced him, "You slut, you framed my daughter the moment you came back, and you even seduced him. What intentions do you have?"


    Su Xiruo replied calmly, "Your daughter did not deserve to die!"


    Mrs Zhang curled up his fingers tightly, wishing he could slap her, but then, he immediately began to put on his wife''s airs again: "Su Xiruo, now that I''m your father''s principal wife, logically speaking, you should greet me and call me mother. You''ve stayed in the village for a year already, don''t you understand the rules?"


    "Mother?" Su Xiruo only thought that these two words sounded extremely funny. "Heh, Mrs Zhang, you have never treated me as your daughter, so you have always bullied me, protecting your daughter as the culprit. You can''t afford to bear the words'' direct mother ''!"


    "How dare you!" Mrs Zhang was so angry by her words that her head almost went numb, she immediately ordered, "Alright, since you don''t know the rules, I''ll teach you the rules. Men, make First Miss kneel!"


    When the Domestic Servant behind him heard this, they rushed forward one after another to take action.


    "Let''s see who dares!" Su Xiruo let out a cold snort, and did not do it himself. Instead, it was Qing Yuan who went up and easily knocked out five to six Domestic Servant s in a few moves.


    She only knew that Su Xiruo was a good-for-nothing, but she never thought that this insignificant Maidservant she brought back would actually be so powerful.


    "Su Xiruo, you... "Are you trying to commit a crime against your superiors?" Mrs Zhang took a few steps back, afraid that this Maidservant would attack him.


    "Mrs Zhang." Su Xiruo slowly walked closer, "I am the direct descendant of the Prime Minister''S Estate, even if I made a mistake, without the orders of the old master and the Old Mistress, no one would have the authority to attack me on their own, I hope the Mrs Zhang knows!"


    "Now, since the old master has handed over all the trifling matters in the Prime Minister''S Estate to me, it makes sense for me to teach you a lesson!" Although Mrs Zhang said this, he already felt a little guilty.


    "Mrs Zhang, my mother is the original wife of the lord, but you only became his wife because my mother passed away. In terms of position, you are still not as good as her, so naturally you can''t bother with me, the legitimate daughter." Su Xiruo wanted to tell her that as long as she was here, both she and Su Xiruo would always lower themselves to her.


    Mrs Zhang''s finger bones were curled tightly, she was extremely angered by her words.


    "Goodbye, Mrs Zhang!" In the end, Su Xiruo did not have the intention to bow, he directly turned around and left with Qing Yuan.


    "Mistress, it''s really good for you." When Qing Yuan thought about what had just happened, he became incomparably excited.


    Su Xiruo did not say anything, indicating his tacit approval to do so.


    Although she didn''t want to cause too much trouble when she returned this time, if someone took the initiative to provoke her, then she wouldn''t be able to accept it!


    Mrs Zhang was so angry that his face turned green, and he directly ran over to the hall to complain to Su Yuanqing.


    "Master." Mrs Zhang started crying as soon as she entered the door, "How can you allow Su Xiruo to bully us like this? Won''t she become more and more arrogant in the future?"


    Su Yuanqing stood up from his seat of honor, and let out a light sigh: "Sigh, what''s wrong now?"


    There were a lot of things going on today! This really gave him a headache.


    "Just now, Su Xiruo was rude to me, and he almost made her Maidservant attack me." The Mrs Zhang deliberately exaggerated the facts, "Master, if you do not manage it, Su Xiruo will definitely go too far!"

 C7

    "This matter, and the matter with Sumire Xi, just bear with it for now, don''t be too flamboyant." Who would have known, Su Yuanqing actually allowed them to hold back, "Earlier, Sumire Xi pushed Su Xiruo into Snake Pond, you and I both know about this, it''s impossible that Su Xiruo herself doesn''t know, if she were to reveal this, then Xixi''s reputation will be ruined!"


    What Su Jinxi did a year ago, Su Yuanqing was already well aware of it. In order to protect her reputation, he had no choice but to spread the news, saying that Su Xiruo was unable to bear the burden and committed suicide!


    Currently, Su Jinxi had an engagement with the Prince Anxian, and was the Prince Anxian''s fiancee.


    He couldn''t afford the consequences.


    Mrs Zhang was immediately displeased. "But, are we supposed to just allow Su Xiruo to continue being so impudent? In the past, Pang Xi was forced to do this, and it was not intentional. Furthermore, Su Xiruo is fine now, right? "


    "Alright!" Su Yuanqing had a headache, and interrupted her, "When we go back, I''ll go talk to Su Xiruo personally. As for Summoning Xi, we won''t be able to avoid this month of confinement, but, I''ve already hired a doctor to treat her arms!"


    Su Yuanqing was startled. Seeing that Mrs Zhang was still not satisfied, he continued to console him: "Alright, Ning Xue, I promise you, it will be like before. Treat you guys nicely, I won''t let you guys suffer anymore."


    "Master, I''ll listen to you." Mrs Zhang bit his lower lip and finally came to a compromise.


    She knew that the old master still sided with the mother and daughter pair, so she was relieved.


    Su Xiruo arrived at the side hall where the Old Mistress was staying, and just as he entered, he heard a series of coughing sounds.


    "Grandma, are you sick?" Su Xiruo hurriedly asked in concern when he saw Old Mistress handing the medicine bowl over to him.


    "Sigh, I''ve gotten old." Old Mistress let out a faint sigh, pulling Su Xiruo by her side, allowing her to sit beside him, "Since a year ago, when I thought that you had passed away, I have always been unable to eat or sleep.


    Su Xiruo was a little worried, he then instructed: "Qing Yuan, take some of the pills to the kitchen and have someone cook them for Old Mistress!"


    "Yes sir!" Qing Yuan immediately did as he was told.


    "Ruo Er, don''t worry. Now that you''ve returned to my side, my illness will naturally be cured." Old Mistress was extremely happy when he saw Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo felt a little guilty. In the past, his granny had always been good to him, but now, he might not stay in the Su Family for too long.


    However, for her grandmother''s sake, she was still willing to stay for a period of time. At least, she would help her grandma recuperate first.


    "Grandma, I''ll always be with you from now on." Su Xiruo laughed gently.


    "Tell me about this year. What have you experienced outside? I really want to know."


    "Alright." Thus, Su Xiruo began to talk about the important parts of the story. She only mentioned a few things that weren''t really important, and there were some things that she couldn''t easily talk about.


    A year ago, she took back a life from the Snake Pond. Not only did she survive, she also absorbed all the poison from the poisonous snakes into her body, and became a Poison Master with a special physique!


    But she could not control so much poison herself, it was a good thing that her foster father appeared and brought her back, turning the poison in her body into Spiritual Strength and teaching her how to cultivate.


    Speaking of which, it could be considered as a blessing in disguise!


    However, she did not inform Old Mistress about this part. After all, her foster father''s identity was too special, so it was not convenient for him to reveal it. She only said that she had narrowly escaped death, but was heavily injured, and had been saved by a kind person.


    After accompanying Old Mistress and chatting for around four hours, Su Xiruo finally decided to leave.


    "Child, this year you''ve really suffered a lot. In the future, grandmother will definitely not let you suffer any more." Hearing her experience, Old Mistress felt heartache.


    "Ruo Er will also properly show his filial piety to Grandma." Su Xiruo laughed, and his tone sounded extremely serious.


    "I''ve already arranged for someone to prepare a room for you next to my side hall. You can come over often from now on!" Old Mistress seemed to be very reluctant.


    "Yes, it''s very late today, please rest early grandmother, Ruo Er will come again tomorrow to see you!" After Su Xiruo finished speaking, he took Qing Yuan and left for his own room.


    Arriving at the side room, Su Xiruo scrutinized it for a moment. Regardless of the location or the decorations, the side room was actually not bad at all.


    Su Xiruo stepped into the room and was about to take a bath and rest when he saw Su Yuanqing sitting in the outer hall.


    "Master." Su Xiruo did not call him father, because in her heart, she had never recognized this father.


    This so-called father had almost beaten him to death in front of the crowd today. He probably didn''t care about his own life or death at all!


    "Xiruo, you don''t have to be so reserved with your father. Sit!" Although Su Yuanqing''s words sounded quite polite, they still carried a sense of alienation and indifference.


    Su Xiruo then sat down on a seat at the side, without a trace of politeness.


    "Go and pour the young mistress a cup of tea!" Only after Su Yuanqing separated Qing Yuan from him did he feel at ease to say some heartfelt words.


    "Master, if you have something to say, just say it. I''m a little tired, I want to rest early." Su Xiruo could probably guess why Yun Che had come to find him.


    "That one." Su Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, "Your father is very happy that you managed to return, so of course I won''t chase you away. However, you should know that now that Sumire Xi is Prince Anxian''s fiancee, her reputation is extremely important. Therefore, father hopes that you can get along well with her and not ruin her reputation."


    Su Xiruo coldly snorted, the more he heard, the more he found it laughable, "Heh, old master, so you also know, it was Su Jinxi who pushed me down the Snake Pond, making me feel worse than death, but you remained indifferent, acting as if nothing had happened, right?"


    "No, Xiruo." Su Yuanqing quickly denied it, "It''s just that at that time, Sumire Xi was already involved with Prince Anxian, so that matter shouldn''t be exposed!"


    In the end, it was all to get close to the royal family!


    "Master, you wish for me to treat Su Jinxi as my younger sister, but you have never treated me as my daughter, and have never even considered for me!" Su Xiruo coldly said, "I have been bullied, and now you want me to bear the shame and hide Su Jinxi''s crime? Heh, my head isn''t filled with water! "


    "You!" Su Yuanqing was a little angry, "Don''t you dare not see good for what''s good, Su Xiruo, I will give you a way out. If it wasn''t for Old Mistress''s face, you would have been forced out of the Prime Minister''S Estate by me today!"


    "If it wasn''t for grandmother and mother, Master wouldn''t have been able to climb to his current position, right?" Su Xiruo was not afraid of him at all, she got up and retorted, "Aren''t you afraid of retribution after master''s actions?"


    "How dare you!" Su Yuanqing was furious, he slapped his opponent.


    Su Xiruo did not stand there stupidly while being slapped on the face. Instead, he took a step back and dodged the attack: "Old master, before you hit me, you better think carefully, if you really do attack, tomorrow, Old Mistress will know, and everyone in the capital will know, what kind of ruthless and cold-blooded person you, Su Yuanqing, are!"


    "Shut up!" Su Yuanqing became angry from embarrassment, roared, and did not dare to actually make a move.


    He knew that the current Su Xiruo was not someone who was easy to deal with. If he dared to make a move, she dared to make a big fuss out of it and embarrass him.


    Thinking up to here, Su Yuanqing could only snort coldly: "Alright, remember what you said today!"


    Throwing these words down, Su Yuanqing left in a huff.


    At this time, Qing Yuan just happened to come in and when he saw Su Yuanqing leaving in such an aggressive manner, he could guess what had happened.


    "Mistress, you really are impolite. You''ve angered the prime minister to the point of running away." Qing Yuan''s tone actually carried a little pride in it, "If High Lord knew, he would definitely praise you!"

 C8

    "He was rude to me, so I naturally don''t need to be polite to him." This was what Su Xiruo was thinking at the moment.


    If others treated her well, she would repay them. But if others treated her impolitely, she would definitely repay them double!


    If she were to accept it, she would be at a disadvantage in the end. Thus, she would not spare anyone who had hurt her!


    "Oh right, Qing Yuan, take out the medical book and let me take a look at it." Su Xiruo suddenly thought of something.


    "Mistress, are you unwell?" Hearing her words, Qing Yuan was immediately worried.


    "No." Su Xiruo explained, "For the past year, Old Mistress has always had a heart attack because of my matter. Let me check and see if there is any medicine that can be used to treat it."


    "Alright." Qing Yuan immediately took out the medical manual from the Storage Ring and passed it to Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo quickly flipped through them, and in the end, his gaze stopped at the Calm Divine Flower.


    It wouldn''t be so easy to obtain this Calm Flower. Forget it, let''s talk about it tomorrow. At worst, he could just go to Spirit Beast Mountain by himself tomorrow!


    The next day, Su Xiruo went to see Old Mistress early in the morning. He wanted to see how Old Mistress''s condition was progressing, but after knowing that Old Mistress was still resting, he didn''t go in.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo immediately stopped one of the Maidservant s in the side hall of the Old Mistress: "Yesterday, after Old Mistress took the medicine, did his condition improve a little?"


    "Miss, there are some uses to it, but it''s not too obvious." The Maidservant answered honestly.


    "Alright, I understand." Su Xiruo sighed lightly, thinking, looks like I still have to go get the Calm Divine Flower.


    Qing Yuan seemed to be able to see through his master''s thoughts, and volunteered: "Master, why don''t I go to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range? I''ll make sure to bring the Calm Divine Flower back to you before nightfall!"


    "No, let''s go together. Don''t underestimate that Spirit Beast Mountain Range. There are also High Ranked spirit beasts inside." Su Xiruo was naturally worried about letting her go alone.


    Spirit Beasts were divided into nine levels, which coincidentally corresponded to the nine levels of strength in one''s Humans. Spirit Beasts above the fourth level could transform into human beings, gaining a certain level of strength.


    Spirit beasts of the fifth step and above can already be considered High Ranked. Ling Dan s of High Ranked spirit beasts are the best Pills for Humans cultivation!


    Thus, there were many mercenaries who hunted spirit beasts. A spirit beast''s defense towards Humans was naturally very high.


    Suddenly, a Domestic Servant came in from the side hall: "Young miss, we finally found you, General''S Estate''s Miss Ye is waiting for you in your room."


    "Got it, I''ll be there right away." Su Xiruo thought that he had come at the perfect time. Perhaps he wouldn''t need to go to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, the General''S Estate was huge, it was impossible for him to not even have a few Calm Spirit Flowers.


    Thus, Su Xiruo hurriedly rushed back to his own room. He saw that Ye Zhuozhuo was currently sitting at a corner sipping tea, and was the first to speak: "Brilliant, why are you here so early today?"


    "I missed you, so I came over early in the morning." Seeing her, Ye Zhuozhuo smiled, "How is it, Ruo Ruo, the people from Prime Minister''S Estate did not make you feel angry, did they? If anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me and I will beat them up for you! "


    "No, everything''s fine." Su Xiruo''s answer was light and relaxed, and purposely hinted at something, "It''s just that grandmother''s body is a bit unwell, right now, I''m thinking of a way to gather some medicinal guidance for grandmother."


    "What kind of medicine is that? Tell me." Ye Zhuozhuo patted his chest, "What I don''t lack the most are medicinal ingredients."


    Amongst the Humans, there were three different occupations: physician, Poison Master, and Refiner. Ye Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, was a true doctor.


    "Divine Calming Flower." Su Xiruo blurted out.


    Ye Zhuozhuo was stunned, he found it hard to believe, "This is a Rank 4 herb, Xiruo!"


    "Hmm, if there isn''t any, I will think of a way myself." Su Xiruo did not want to make things too difficult for her.


    "I do, but this herb is more valuable. I didn''t put it in the Storage Ring, you might want to come with me to General''S Estate." Ye Zhuozhuo was even more willing to provide her with medicinal ingredients, "It''s just nice, come to my place and play with me!"


    Su Xiruo pretended to be apprehensive and asked: "But if I go, won''t it be troublesome?"


    "That won''t happen. My father and brother are very good people. They are very reasonable. Please be at ease and come with me!" Ye Zhuozhuo was already impatient to bring her along.


    "Master, if you don''t want to go, I''ll just go to General''S Estate and take a look." Qing Yuan saw the hesitation in his master''s eyes, and said.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, and felt that there was a unique Strength of Beast Spirit on Ye Zhuozhuo''s body.


    Maybe, this Strength of Beast Spirit was hiding in General''S Estate, if he followed it, perhaps he would be able to find something, and it would be killing two birds with one stone.


    "There''s no need. I''ll go with Radiant!" In the end, Su Xiruo agreed.


    "Great, let''s set off now!" Ye Zhuozhuo immediately pulled Su Xiruo''s hand, he did not know how happy he was in his heart.


    General''S Estate.


    Once he entered the General''S Estate, Su Xiruo immediately felt the Strength of Beast Spirit charging at him. Different from Ye Zhuozhuo''s body, this group of Strength of Beast Spirit was strong and cold, so strong that it made her somewhat afraid!


    Therefore, she became more and more curious about this General''S Estate. She pretended to be indifferent as she asked: "Brilliant, does this General''S Estate raise any spirit beasts?"


    "No!" Ye Zhuozhuo was startled, and denied it: "Ruo Ruo, why did you suddenly ask about this?"


    "Oh, I was just curious." Su Xiruo explained, "I heard that those powerful families would all tame spirit beasts, so I thought that they might have General''S Estate as well."


    Ye Zhuozhuo smiled and said: "There are still many families stronger than our General''S Estate. Our General''S Estate is simply nothing, it''s entirely something my brother can support alone."


    "Your brother?" Towards this brother of Ye Zhuozhuo, Su Xiruo only had a fragmented impression.


    In her memory, the brother who was shining with light was not her biological brother, but was adopted by the Great General. However, due to his exceptional talent, he quickly ascended to the position of general.


    Because they were always outside during the year, even when Su Xiruo came to the General''S Estate frequently, he hardly ever met her sworn brother, and he barely even remembered his face.


    If not for her brother being too outstanding, Su Xiruo would not have had a single memory!


    "Right, maybe you don''t have much of an impression of my brother, after all, you''ve seen too little. But it doesn''t matter, you''ll gradually get familiar with him in the future." Ye Zhuozhuo said as he brought her to the main hall.


    "Alright, Ruo Ruo, wait for me here for a while. I will go get the Calm Divine Flower and come over shortly." After Ye Zhuozhuo finished, he instructed the servants beside him, "Serve Miss Su well!"


    "Yes sir!"


    When Ye Zhuozhuo left, the Maidservant of General''S Estate brought her a cup of tea: "Young miss, please have some tea."


    "En, you guys don''t need to wait here to serve. You can all go down." Su Xiruo smiled and dismissed them all.


    "Yes sir!"


    After the three Maidservant s had gone down, Qing Yuan couldn''t help but ask, "Master, are you ¡­ What did you find? "


    "Mn, in this General''S Estate, I feel a wave of very strong negative Strength of Beast Spirit." Su Xiruo''s voice suddenly became softer, for fear that he would be overheard.


    "Negative Strength of Beast Spirit!" Hearing these words, Qing Yuan opened his eyes wide, "The High Lord is currently waiting for the High Ranked''s negative spirit Beast Core to save you!"


    It was just that the two of them did not understand, how could there be a Strength of Beast Spirit with High Ranked?


    Logically speaking, she shouldn''t have lied to him.


    Could it be that he didn''t even know the existence of the Strength of Beast Spirit?


    "Qing Yuan, just wait here. If she comes back, tell her that I''ll be taking a stroll around." Finally, Su Xiruo could no longer hold back and decided to act on his own.


    "Mistress, you must be careful. Spirit Beasts are very fierce. You must protect yourself well!" Qing Yuan was still a little worried.


    "Yes, I will be careful." After Su Xiruo finished speaking, he rushed out of the main hall, and followed the fluctuations of the Strength of Beast Spirit s to find the way, little by little, to find the source of the power.

 C9

    Needless to say, this General''S Estate was quite large. After walking for a while, she felt that this side room and the Profound Pavilion were actually becoming more and more remote, to the point that there weren''t many servants guarding them.


    Suddenly, she felt that the Strength of Beast Spirit had reached its strongest point, and stopped in front of a room.


    There was no one standing guard outside the room.


    Su Xiruo was almost certain that all that she had felt just now, as well as all the Strength of Beast Spirit s that had been infected by her burning body, were coming from this place.


    Thus, she carefully stepped forward, holding her breath with every step. She mustered her courage and simply pushed open the door. The scene before her eyes was shocking!


    In the room, there was a large soup pond, filled with smoke. It looked like a fairyland.


    Within the pond, there was a man. He was completely naked, and his snow-white skin was revealed. His face could not be seen clearly, but one could clearly see that the man''s snow-white fox tail was revealed outside the pond.


    Before Su Xiruo even had the chance to speak, and before he could even react, the man in the soup pool sensed a dangerous aura. His fox tail lightly swept across the air, and that seemingly lazy force was actually incomparably thick.


    That was a type of power that wanted to kill her!


    Su Xiruo immediately retreated a few steps, wanting to dodge to the side. However, he didn''t expect that he had no way of dodging at all, so he simply struck the man''s body with his backhand.


    Who knew, before the wind could reach Su Xiruo, it was retracted, the killing intent instantly disappeared.


    Su Xiruo unconsciously raised her head. The man in front of her had inky eyebrows and starry eyes, his fair skin was as thick as cream. The man''s white clothes lazily draped over his body, revealing his sexy collarbone.


    Even though she had seen countless beautiful men in the past, she had never seen such an extraordinary woman!


    As for that dense Strength of Beast Spirit, it was as if it had disappeared in an instant. Or, it could be said that it had been hidden by him.


    Just how unfathomable was this man''s strength? He had hidden it so well that he couldn''t detect it at all?


    "Is the girl all right?" The man''s voice was slightly magnetic and warm like jade.


    The man''s gaze had always been unwittingly sizing up Su Xiruo, a little complicated in his eyes as if he were sizing up an old friend.


    He had searched for so long, but now, was he standing right in front of him?


    "I''m fine." Su Xiruo subconsciously took a step back. Even though the man''s tone was warm, and he did not really make a move against her, she was still cautious in her heart.


    In that instant of confrontation, she could feel that this man wasn''t weak. Now that she saw his beast body, he probably wouldn''t let her off so easily!


    Just when the atmosphere had frozen to a freezing point, Ye Zhuozhuo''s voice instantly broke the atmosphere.


    "Big brother!" Ye Zhuozhuo hurriedly ran in and was shocked when he saw traces of a battle inside the house.


    Did the two of them start fighting?


    Brother!


    This word immediately attracted Su Xiruo''s attention. She sized up the man and roughly understood his identity.


    He should be the Great General of the Dragon Seal Empire, Helian Yunqian right? Looking at the entire General''S Estate, perhaps only he has such a terrifying strength.


    However, did anyone from the General''S Estate know that Helian Yunqian''s Real Body was actually a spirit beast?!


    If they didn''t know, then wouldn''t he have found out a huge secret?


    "Big brother, how did you get injured?" Seeing the blood trail on the corner of his brother''s mouth, Ye Zhuozhuo was both shocked and worried.


    Big Brother''s strength, in the entire Dragon Seal Empire, I''m afraid that no one could hurt him. Just how did he do it, if he did not have the strength to tie the chicken up?


    Without waiting for Helian Yunqian to speak, Su Xiruo took the lead and said: "Brilliant, I was the one who barged in, accidentally injuring General Helian, please forgive me."


    After all, he was in the wrong. Moreover, this was someone he could not afford to offend.


    Helian Yunqian gave her a casual glance but didn''t continue her words. He then asked Ye Zhuozhuo: "Is this lady a guest of General''S Estate?"


    Normally, Helian Yunqian would never say half a sentence to someone who was not important, or even look at them, but towards Su Xiruo, although his tone was cold, his attitude was still different.


    "Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo was not able to guess his brother''s emotions. Afraid that he would be angry, he tried to smooth things over, "This is my friend, the great miss of Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo. If it was her first time coming to General''S Estate, and if she didn''t know the way, she would have charged in.


    Normally, Big Brother would hate people intruding into his "forbidden grounds." Even people within the General''S Estate would not dare to trespass, let alone an unfamiliar woman.


    And since Ruo Ruo had barged in and even injured her brother, she might as well ''escape'' with her before her brother got angry at Ruo Ruo. Otherwise, if her brother''s emotions were stirred up, then there would be nothing she could do about it!


    Unexpectedly, Helian Yunqian''s face did not have the slightest trace of anger on it. Instead, he opened his mouth and said indifferently, "It''s alright, since you''re a guest, then you should receive them well."


    "I ¡­" Ye Zhuozhuo was startled, she thought she heard wrong.


    Helian Yunqian took a light step forward, and his slender fingerbone lightly patted Ye Zhuozhuo''s shoulder: "I still have some things to do, so I won''t be accompanying you for now."


    As he spoke, he left his original place and only glanced at Su Xiruo slowly from the corner of his eyes.


    Although it was only a short look, Su Xiruo still noticed it and couldn''t help but feel a little nervous in his heart.


    He had given her a meaningful look just now, probably warning her not to speak of what she had seen today!


    Then she would just wait for Helian Yunqian to take the initiative to look for her again. After all, she was also interested in the Strength of Beast Spirit on his body.


    "Ruo Ruo, don''t mind me. My brother has always been this cold to outsiders. Are you hurt?" The moment Helian Yunqian left, Ye Zhuozhuo started to pay attention to her.


    "I''m fine." Su Xiruo shook her head lightly, "It was my fault just now. I went through the wrong door, that''s why I angered the General Helian, it''s not his fault."


    Her attitude of admitting her wrongs was rather sincere.


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Only then did Ye Zhuozhuo let out a sigh of relief, passing the Calming Flower over to her. "This is the Calming Flower that you wanted, I just realized that the quantity in the General''S Estate isn''t much, it might just be enough for a few days."


    Su Xiruo received the Calming Spirit Flowers, and said his thanks. However, he was still a bit worried.


    Since there was only this little bit of medicine, it seemed that he needed to get some.


    "Do you know where else you can get this Calm Flower?" Su Xiruo asked her.


    Ye Zhuozhuo thought about it carefully, then said: "Maybe, we can go to the market and try our luck, maybe we can get it?"


    The bazaar in the empire was like a hodgepodge market. Apart from the shops, there were also some scattered merchants who would sell items they had obtained or did not need.


    "Okay, then let''s go take a look." Su Xiruo nodded and instructed Qing Yuan who was beside him, "Qing Yuan, bring these Calm Divine Flowers back first."


    "Yes sir!"


    In a certain inner hall of General''S Estate.


    "Mistress, what orders do you have?" A man dressed in the garb of Dark Guard stood in the hall and respectfully asked for instructions.


    Helian Yunqian carelessly played with the antiques in his hand, and indifferently said: "Help me follow a person."


    "Who?"


    "Great Young Miss of the Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo." Helian Yunqian blurted out, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.


    "Mistress, what do you want to know?" Dark Guard only felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.


    "I want to know where she is." Helian Yunqian replied indifferently.


    Master had never been interested in women. Why did he suddenly have to follow a woman?


    "But Master, isn''t this Miss Su our young miss''s friend? If you want to know anything, just directly ¡­"


    "Cut the crap." Helian Yunqian frowned, and interrupted him, as if she did not want to explain anything, "If I tell you to go, then go!"


    "Yes ¡­" I''ll go right now. " The man hurriedly agreed. He thought that he should just do it honestly and not let his master down. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

    The fairs of the capital were especially jumbled. People constantly passed by, shuttling back and forth between the stalls. Some of them were lively, while others were deserted.


    The two of them strolled around the market, but in the end, they only acquired some common herbs. It was rare to see higher grade herbs.


    "Ruo Ruo, it seems that I have overestimated this market and thought that I would be able to see at least a little bit of it." Ye Zhuozhuo''s face revealed a little dejection.


    "It''s fine. I''ll think of another way when I get back." Su Xiruo could only helplessly accept this fact.


    Suddenly, her gaze fell onto a small vendor''s booth to the side. There was no one around the booth, making it seem exceptionally cold and cheerless.


    It was clearly a normal little stall, but she could feel a strange fluctuation of Spiritual Strength.


    So, Su Xiruo went forward, to investigate, and Ye Zhuozhuo followed along.


    "Ruo Ruo, look, it''s the Calm Divine Flower!" Ye Zhuozhuo''s bright eyes instantly fell on the Calming Spirit Flower in the corner of the booth, "However, the quality of this Calm Spirit Flower doesn''t seem to be very good."


    The Calming Spirit Flower''s color was dull and its petals withered. With a single glance, one could tell that it was defective. No wonder it had not been sold out yet.


    Generally speaking, the better the quality of medicinal materials of the same level, the better the medicinal efficacy of the medicinal ingredients that were made. As for the lower the quality of medicinal ingredients, the medicinal efficacy of the medicinal herbs that were made would be greatly reduced.


    However, nothing is absolute. If it is made by a high ranked doctor or a Poison Master, even if it is a medicinal herb with poor quality, it would still be able to produce excellent medicinal effects.


    "Young lady''s eyes are truly beautiful, this is a tier 4 medicinal herb, it''s really precious." The peddler smiled as he promoted the weapon.


    "How much is this?" Ye Zhuozhuo asked.


    "Five hundred silver taels. After all, this is a level four medicinal ingredient!" The peddler blurted out.


    Ye Zhuozhuo never had any idea about the price. Just as he was about to take out the silver to pay, he was stopped by Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo secretly gave her a look, thinking, this girl must have been killed quite a number of times when she was outside right?


    Moreover, she did not have much money on her right now, so she needed to save some money. After all, she still needed a lot of medicinal ingredients.


    "Miss." Seeing that Su Xiruo did not reveal any expression of joy, the little vendor hurriedly said, "This is a level 4 medicinal herb, there are many places that it cannot be bought. If we miss out on this village, we would not be able to get this shop!"


    Su Xiruo said indifferently: "Five hundred silver taels, enough to buy high-quality level four medicine. This medicine has too many flaws, at most, I think it''s worth a hundred silver."


    She, as a Poison Master, was not unaware of the market price of medicinal herbs, so she could not be deceived by the evil merchants.


    The stall owner widened his eyes at the price. He was somewhat unhappy. "Girl, I can give you a discount, but you can''t cut so much at once, can you?"


    Ye Zhuozhuo was anxious at the side, afraid that he would not be able to purchase the ingredients. Just as she was about to say that it would be five hundred silver, Su Xiruo took her hand calmly and planned to turn around and leave.


    "Then forget it, we don''t have that much money. Let''s go to another store and take a look."


    Just as the two of them took a step forward, the stall vendor gritted his teeth and called out to them, "Fine, 100 taels of silver is enough."


    Only then did Su Xiruo turn her head, and her gaze unconcernedly landed on a rusted dagger on the stall. The slight fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength on the dagger gave her a strange feeling.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo picked up the dagger casually: "I want this as well."


    The stall vendor looked carefully and saw that it was a Mundane Stage Low Rank Spiritual Artifact. It was not worth anything, so he waved his hand and pretended to be generous: "If you want this, I''ll give it to you as a gift."


    To him, these worthless Spiritual Artifact were no different than trash. He desperately wanted someone to quickly take them away to save space.


    "Mm, thank you very much then." When they reached an agreement, Su Xiruo paid the silver notes in satisfaction.


    "Ruo Ruo, if you want the Spiritual Artifact, I can give you the Spiritual Ranked''s Spiritual Artifact. This kind of Spiritual Artifact doesn''t really help you with your own strength." Ye Zhuozhuo, who was at the side, did have good intentions.


    "It''s fine, I''ll just use the sword." Su Xiruo looked indifferent. Since it was a gift, even if he took it back to cut the medicinal herbs, it would be more useful.


    "Heh." At this time, a burst of provocation sounded in his ears, and the sharp voice of a woman sounded especially ear-piercing. "Su Xiruo, I didn''t expect that you would really come back."


    Su Xiruo raised his head and saw a green-robed lady dressed in gorgeous clothes standing in front of him with a lofty air. Behind her were two strong and robust men.


    Su Xiruo recognized it with a glance. It was precisely Su Man, also considered to be a distant cousin of his. A year ago, it was she and Su Jinxi who designed him together to let him die a horrible death at Snake Pond!


    Heh, just as she was about to find them one by one to settle the score, she didn''t expect that she would come knocking on their door today.


    Su Man took a look at the rusty dagger in Su Xiruo''s hand, and revealed a gaze of ridicule and disdain: "Hehe, so what? You''re useless trash, you''re just trash worthy of using this kind of lowest level Spiritual Artifact. Ye Zhuozhuo, I advise you to stop dealing with this kind of trash, it''s simply going down the price!"


    "Pfft!" Ye Zhuozhuo rejected her words, "No matter who I interact with, I will not interact with people like you. If it''s you, let''s go and ignore her!"


    Although Ye Zhuozhuo scolded on the surface, he still felt guilty.


    This Su Man, the great miss of the Su Family, was now a Five Star Passage Spirit Master. Among the people of the same age, her talent could already be considered to be above average.


    Furthermore, she herself was only a one star Spirit Master, if it was so, then it would be even more so, in such a situation, it would be better not to fight head on with her.


    "Shining." Su Xiruo lightly pulled Ye Zhuozhuo''s hand, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Since she wants to play, then we''ll keep her company until the end!"


    "What is it? "Trash has even developed abilities now." Su Man snorted, seeing that Su Xiruo did not seem to plan to leave, his arrogant intent became even stronger, "It''s fine if you want to leave today, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, apologize to me, then I''ll let you go, or, you can win!"


    Su Man''s imposing manner and voice attracted a lot of attention.


    The people of the capital all knew that this young miss Su Family had an explosive temper, but, she was only so arrogant because she had sufficient strength. Today, the young miss of Prime Minister''S Estate had met her, it could be considered as her bad luck.


    "Su Man, don''t go too far!" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to not be able to continue listening, "You should know that if she was unable to cultivate the Spiritual Strength, she would still..."


    Su Man''s attitude towards Ye Zhuozhuo was still rather polite: "Brilliant, this has nothing to do with you, you don''t need to bother."


    Even if it was on General Helian''s account, she wouldn''t dare to put up a front towards Ye Zhuozhuo. However, she still dared to teach a trash a lesson.


    "Su Xiruo, speak, are you leaving or not?" Su Man shouted at Su Xiruo impatiently.


    "Sure." Just as Su Man was feeling pleased with himself, she suddenly changed the topic, "Then, if I win, would you kneel down and kowtow and apologize to me?"


    Su Man was startled, but in the next second, she laughed at her words: "Su Xiruo, are you joking with me, with just you?"


    Everyone knew that Su Xiruo was famous for being a trash in the Dragon Seal Empire, and Su Man had always been a proud daughter of heaven in the Su Family. The difference between the two was just too great, so she had never placed Su Xiruo in her eyes either.


    "What, does Miss Su not dare to?" Su Xiruo intentionally instigated.


    Su Man coldly snorted, and straightforwardly agreed: "Why wouldn''t I dare to do that? "Come at once!"


    Since that trash couldn''t possibly win against him, he would properly teach her this lesson.


    "Ruo Ruo, don''t, you are not her match." Ye Zhuozhuo revealed a face full of worry, and immediately pulled on Su Xiruo''s sleeves, "Su Man is currently a Five Star Passage Spirit Master."


    "There''s still time to regret it." Su Man sarcastically said, "Su Xiruo, as long as you kowtow and apologize to me, this matter is finished. Why do you have to take your own disgrace?"


    Su Xiruo cast a gaze that made her feel at ease, and said gently: "Brilliant, don''t worry, I know what I''m doing, just watch by the side."

 C11

    "But, you ¡­" Ye Zhuozhuo was still worried.


    "Trust me once." Su Xiruo''s tone was as calm as water, as though everything was within her control.


    Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, but before he could say anything, Su Man, who was at the side, became impatient: "Su Xiruo, This Miss does not have that much time to waste with you!"


    She couldn''t wait to teach this piece of trash a lesson!


    Therefore, Su Man did not plan to give her the chance, with a wave of his hand, he used all his strength, and planned to use the fastest method to take care of this trash!


    There was not a single trace of panic on Su Xiruo''s face as he pushed Ye Zhuozhuo to the side. Then, he raised his hand and grabbed Su Man''s arm.


    Instantly, Su Man felt as if the Spiritual Strength she was about to erupt with, had actually disintegrated in an instant. She was unable to unleash it in any way, and no matter how she struggled, she was still unable to break free from Su Xiruo''s grasp.


    That was a terrifying suppression. No matter how strong the Spiritual Strength was, in front of Su Xiruo, it was suppressed in an instant.


    "Su Xiruo, let go of me!" Su Man frowned, she was angry from the embarrassment.


    "Alright, then I''ll let you go!" Su Xiruo laughed coldly as he exerted a little more strength into his finger bones.


    Ka-cha! *


    In the next second, only the sounds of bones breaking and Su Man''s screams could be heard.


    Su Xiruo acted like he was throwing trash away, the force of the wind from his palm caused Su Man''s body to be thrown out, falling heavily onto the ground and fainting.


    Immediately, the spectators at the side all sighed. They probably never would have thought that a five star Spirit Master would actually lose to a good-for-nothing, and to even be killed in a single move!


    "Eldest Miss!" The guards behind Su Man hurriedly went forward and carried the unconscious Su Man up. On their faces, other than shock, there was more anger.


    "I thought she was that strong, but I didn''t expect your young miss to be so weak." Su Xiruo feigned helplessness as he shook his head, his tone carrying hints of provocation.


    One of the guards stood up and said unwillingly, "Little girl, it was my young miss who was not prepared just now. She let you take the opportunity to take advantage of her. Don''t be complacent!"


    "A loss is a loss, great young miss Su Family, can''t afford to lose like this?" Su Xiruo''s eyes were filled with contempt, "Could it be that you intentionally faked your death because you didn''t want to kowtow and apologize?"


    Aren''t you afraid of being laughed at by others when you say that you aren''t prepared for something as crappy as this?


    Ye Zhuozhuo stood at the side, witnessing everything, his eyes opened wide.


    Was this still the weak and cowardly Ruo Ruo that she knew? Furthermore, that instant attack just now, not only did it not seem like a trash that could not cultivate the Spiritual Strength, it had instead made her feel that if it was the current Spiritual Strength, it would be extremely high.


    At least above Su Man. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have taken care of Su Man so easily.


    "Humph!" That guard strongly refuted, "Our Miss will never apologize to you. But you, you injured her, we will make you pay!"


    When the flowers bloomed, the two men took out their weapons and pierced towards Su Xiruo''s face, not giving her any chance to retreat at all.


    These two guards both had the strength of a five star. Furthermore, they both had Spiritual Artifact s in their hands, so it was probably more than enough to deal with Su Xiruo who was unarmed.


    "Two more who aren''t afraid of death!" Su Xiruo let out a helpless sigh, raised his hand and a powerful Spiritual Strength flew out, sending the two guards and the Spiritual Artifact flying together.


    Before she could even see clearly, the two men had already fallen to the ground, vomiting blood and suffering from internal injuries.


    However, the anger in Su Xiruo''s heart did not calm down just like that. She used a suction force to pick up the sword on the ground, and with a raise of her hand, she swung the blade.


    Ka-cha! *


    Ka-cha! *


    That fierce and decisive look in her eyes made it hard to believe. This was something that a fifteen-year-old girl had done.


    Just as Su Xiruo was about to cut Su Man''s hand off, a gentle and gentle female voice sounded out: "Miss Su, please be lenient!"


    Su Xiruo raised his eyes to look, and saw a blue-clothed female hurriedly walking in from the crowd. She looked to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, and her expression was very gentle and pleasant.


    "Miss Su." The blue clothed lady politely smiled at Su Xiruo, "I am Su Biyue, second lady of Su Family, it was my sister who offended you earlier. I apologize to you on her behalf, please show mercy!"


    recognized Su Biyue, she was the second young miss of the Four Great Clans'' Su Family. Because she was gentle, virtuous, kind and beautiful, coupled with her outstanding Inherent Skill, she had already become an Earth Spirit Master at the age of seventeen.


    When the surrounding observers saw Su Biyue, they ordered their eyes wide open. They wanted to take a good look at this genius girl.


    However, Su Xiruo did not plan to give her face, and said indifferently: "The grudge between your sister and I, we will settle it ourselves, what does it have to do with you?"


    Su Biyue was startled, his heart was startled.


    In the entire capital, even if the nobles saw her, they would at least give her some face. But this good-for-nothing young miss, what right did she have to speak to her so arrogantly and arrogantly?


    However, Su Biyue remained amiable on the surface: "Sister Cyril, my Big Sis might have done something that displeased you, but I am willing to apologize on her behalf.


    Su Xiruo could tell that although Su Biyue seemed amiable on the surface, she was actually hiding something from her smile.


    "Su Biyue." Su Xiruo was too lazy to waste time with her, "Just now, your big sister had a bet with me, whoever loses will kneel down and kowtow to apologize, it''s not that I forced her, but she''s unconscious now and unable to keep her promise, I''ll cut off one of her hands as compensation, right?"


    Su Xiruo''s meaning was very clear, if Su Man didn''t pay a certain price today, she wouldn''t agree!


    Su Biyue''s gentle eyes flashed with a trace of gloominess, but her face still carried a pitiful and delicate expression: "If Sister Cyril must be overbearing, then you can''t blame me."


    With that, Su Biyue unsheathed his sword and stood in front of Su Man. No matter what, he did not plan to give way.


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, her body turning into a blur, rushing to the front of Su Biyue, before he could even react, he was pushed away by the power.


    Ka-cha! *


    Su Xiruo''s hand raised and his blade descended, cutting Su Man''s right hand off. When Su Biyue wanted to stop him, it was already too late.


    Su Biyue sat where he was, his mind suddenly blank.


    Impossible! With his own strength, this woman could actually make a move right under his noses. He was powerless, completely unable to stop her!


    Could it be that Su Xiruo''s current strength was already above his own?


    "Sister Cyril, you are going too far!" Su Biyue was also infuriated, she grabbed her weapon and was about to slash at Su Xiruo, but in the next second, the weapon in her hand was deflected by the lazy and light Spiritual Strength.


    "Stop." A cold and pleasant male voice slowly entered his ears. The voice was not loud, but it was filled with vigor!


    The three women turned around at the same time, only to see Helian Yunqian, dressed in white, slowly approaching with light steps. There was an army behind him, evacuating all the spectators around them.


    Su Biyue seemed to be shocked and became nervous all of a sudden, "General Helian ¡­"


    This was the first time she had come into contact with General Helian at such a close distance.


    Helian Yunqian did not look at her and walked in front of Ye Zhuozhuo. Ye Zhuozhuo hurriedly went forward to his brother and complained to him: "Big brother, you''re finally here. Help me get the better of Ruo Ruo, the people from Su Family are simply going too far!"


    Su Biyue was afraid that he had misunderstood something, and immediately explained: "General Helian, things are not like that, my big sister and two younger sisters, there might be some kind of misunderstanding."


    Helian Yunqian still did not even look at Su Biyue, and indifferently said: "It is prohibited to fight for no reason in the city, does Second Miss Su not understand?"


    "I ¡­" Su Biyue''s heart immediately became unbalanced. The ones who were injured were obviously on their side, so why did General Helian only speak up for Ye Zhuozhuo and Su Xiruo?


    However, Ye Zhuozhuo was his sister. This General Helian had always been famous for being protective of others, and in front of him, the only thing he could do was to be in the wrong!


    In the end, Su Biyue still lowered her head and apologized patiently. "General Helian, I know my wrongs.


    With that, Su Biyue knelt down, his attitude was still rather sincere.


    "Pull him down to receive his punishment." Helian Yunqian did not give any face, waved his hand, and ordered his men to drag Su Biyue and Su Man down.

 C12

    "Big brother, I knew you were the best." Seeing his brother being so protective, Ye Zhuozhuo smiled happily.


    Helian Yunqian was somewhat absent-minded, and from time to time, his gaze would fall on Su Xiruo, who was standing at the side.


    He had saved this woman''s life, and she didn''t even say a word of thanks?


    Therefore, he intentionally opened his mouth and said: "Miss Su, my sister doesn''t usually fight, do you have anything to tell me?"


    Su Xiruo thanked him subconsciously: Thank you, General Helian for saving me, today''s matter, all of the responsibility is mine, it has nothing to do with Shining, if General wants to punish, please forgive me!


    In fact, even if Helian Yunqian didn''t come, she could still teach him a lesson and make him doubt his own life. However, facing this unfathomable man in front of her, she didn''t dare to casually offend him.


    With just a casual glance, she could see that Helian Yunqian''s face was flushed red. The injury he had suffered in the General''S Estate had already completely recovered.


    If it was an Earth Spirit Master, then it was possible that his life would have been taken. Even if it was a Spirit Master of the same level as her, it would still take at least half a month for it to be perfect.


    But this man had recovered in just a few hours. One could imagine just how terrifying his strength was.


    "Brother, this has nothing to do with Ruo Ruo. The two sisters came to provoke us first." Ye Zhuozhuo was anxious though, and immediately explained it for her: "You can''t possibly not differentiate right from wrong!"


    Helian Yunqian gave Su Xiruo a casual glance. "It''s fine if I punish you or not, but I feel that right now, what you need to worry about is Su Family, that''s the problem."


    Su Xiruo understood what he meant. He had chopped off the hand of the big miss of the Su Family and had even purposely embarrassed Su Biyue. It was likely that the Patriarch of the Su Family would not let him off so easily.


    However, since she, Su Xiruo dared to do it, it meant that she,, dared to bear the consequences for her actions.


    "Thank you for your concern, General Helian." Su Xiruo''s mouth formed a smile, his heart not flustered at all.


    "That''s right, the Patriarch of Su Family isn''t someone to be trifled with either." Hearing that, Ye Zhuozhuo became worried, "Ruo Ruo, you''ve gotten into big trouble now. How about, you go and hide in the General''S Estate?"


    "No need, Grandmother is still waiting for me at the Manor. It''s time for me to go back." Su Xiruo shook his head lightly, as if he had never cared about this matter.


    "But ¡­"


    Ye Zhuozhuo was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Helian Yunqian: "Zhi Xing, it''s time for us to go back."


    Ye Zhuozhuo held onto Su Xiruo''s hand and warned with concern, "Then ¡­ Ruo Ruo, when you go back, you must be careful by yourself. "


    "Mm, don''t worry about me, you guys hurry up and go back." Su Xiruo''s tone sounded very relaxed, as he did not want her to worry about him.


    Ye Zhuozhuo gently nodded his head, seeing that his brother had already walked far away, he quickly took small steps and followed him.


    Su Xiruo glanced at their departing figures, thinking, it''s time for him to return.


    Returning to the Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo went to visit the Old Mistress a few times before returning to his own room.


    In the Fine Star Continent, doctors would create medicines, and the poisons produced by the Poison Master would be called poisons. Of course, not all poisons were used to harm people, rather, most of the poisons were used to cure people, and the effects might be even better than medicines.


    Su Xiruo took out the inconspicuous dagger, and skillfully cut through the excess leaves and leaves on the medicinal ingredients. The dagger, on the other hand, was even duller than she had imagined.


    No wonder no one cared about this dagger even though it was placed in the corner. Not only was it of a low grade, it was also not very useful.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo became distracted, the dagger accidentally cut her finger, and alluring blood immediately flowed out from the tip of her finger.


    Following that, Su Xiruo took a look at the dagger blood traces, and saw that it had actually seeped in slowly, and was actually absorbed by the dagger. There was no trace at all, the blood traces on his fingertips, had also been absorbed!


    Su Xiruo''s eyes widened, he felt that just a moment ago, his Spiritual Strength had actually leaked out a bit, or in other words, his own Spiritual Strength had been absorbed by the dagger along with the blood.


    This dagger could actually absorb Spiritual Strength!


    Therefore, with the intention of probing, Su Xiruo intentionally cut open his own fingertip with the dagger, causing the blood to be instantly absorbed by the dagger. The Spiritual Strength also seemed to have been pulled out a little.


    When he looked at the dagger again, he saw that it was originally stained with rust, which had turned dark brown. After absorbing Su Xiruo''s Spiritual Strength, the rust had actually begun to fade, turning into a normal silver-white color.


    Su Xiruo could feel that when the originally useless dagger was in his hand, he could actually feel a trace of the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, and it no longer looked like a Common Tier Low Rank Spiritual Artifact.


    She closed her eyes and carefully sensed, this dagger, had already leveled up from a Common Tier Low Rank to a Common Tier High Rank Spiritual Artifact!


    There was actually such a thing? This was the first time she had seen a Spiritual Artifact that could level up, moreover, it required the absorption of Spiritual Strength to level up!


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo became even more curious about the dagger, and carefully sized it up. On the blade, there were two words, "Can Meng"!


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, the dagger looked unremarkable, the name indeed seemed to be a high level Spiritual Artifact.


    He originally wanted to buy a convenient weapon, but now, he unexpectedly had such an unexpected harvest.


    Suddenly, a light flashed across the Can Meng''s blade, and four big words appeared in the air: Contract completed!


    "Contract?" Su Xiruo was completely shocked by these two words. Just now, when the Can Meng absorbed his blood, was it considered as having signed a contract with him?


    Generally speaking, low level Spiritual Artifact s did not have a contract. Spiritual Artifact s that could sign a contract with their masters were all above Heavenly Ranked, and an ordinary Common Stage Spiritual Artifact like this could actually make a contract as well?


    Looks like this was not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact. Su Xiruo continued to use his dagger to peel the herbs, but this time the feeling in his hand was completely different.


    The Can Meng became extremely sharp, and did not feel dull at all. It was as if she could feel that the dagger could release endless power!


    "Miss." At this time, Qing Yuan''s voice came from outside the door.


    Su Xiruo kept his dagger and spoke indifferently: "Come in."


    With the permission of his master, Qing Yuan entered the room, and a look of worry appeared on his face: "Master, I just saw the Patriarch of Su Family looking for trouble, and it''s about Su Man. The old master is very angry, he may send people to capture you later to confront him."


    Su Xiruo got up, his face still as cold as ever, "Heh, they will come sooner or later."


    She had long since mentally prepared herself, and was waiting for someone from the Su Family to come and cause trouble.


    "You unfilial girl, you''re getting bolder and bolder!" At this time, Su Yuanqing''s voice sounded out with extreme anger. Mrs Zhang followed along, and behind the two of them, more than ten Domestic Servant followed, approaching in full fury.


    Seeing the situation, Qing Yuan subconsciously took a step forward and protected Su Xiruo behind him, "Old master, the reason why First Miss is making a move against Young Miss Su Family is because she is forced to do it, so you ¡­"


    Before he even finished speaking, Mrs Zhang had already walked over. He raised his hand and slapped Qing Yuan across the face, and scolded: "How can it be your turn to be a servant here?"


    Seeing the situation, Su Xiruo walked up to Mrs Zhang and gave him a heavy slap. The strength behind his slap was so great that Mrs Zhang''s face swelled up.


    Ah!" "You damned girl, you actually dared to hit me!" Lady Zhang seemed to have been beaten senseless by her. She quickly took a step back and hid behind Su Yuanqing while complaining, "Master, look at your eldest daughter. She''s really becoming more and more lawless. She even dares to fight with the elders!


    "Su Xiruo!" Su Yuanqing finally could not bear it anymore and roared, "This Prime Minister''S Estate, no one can control you anymore?"


    To dare to attack under his watch, he did not even put him in his eyes!


    Su Xiruo coldly snorted, and said with disdain: "If it''s an elder that is worthy of respect, I will naturally respect him, but you all, aren''t worthy of my respect!"

 C13

    "Su Xiruo." Su Yuanqing pointed at her, his finger bones trembling in anger, "Once you return to Prime Minister''S Estate, as long as you are willing to obey orders, I will not say anything. But now, you actually caused me such a mess, how can I tolerate you?"


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, and couldn''t help but laugh: "I was only defending myself, where did this trouble come from? Sir Su, aren''t you accusing me too wrongly? "


    Su Yuanqing was so angry that she almost made him speechless: "Alright, since you''re so stubborn, then go and explain it to Master Su, you are you, the Su Family is the Su Family, the mistakes you made have nothing to do with my Su Family, if you have to pay any price, you can take it on yourself!"


    For a father to say such words to his daughter, it could be seen how heartless he was.


    "That''s right!" The Mrs Zhang added fuel to the fire, "Just now, Master Su said that you need to compensate Su Man with one hand before letting the matter go. Su Xiruo, do you hear me?"


    Su Xiruo''s clear eyes met Mrs Zhang''s cold eyes. That cold gaze seemed to be able to kill.


    "Then I must trouble you all to take care of me." Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, "Since you said it already, this has nothing to do with your Su Family, then why are you wasting your breath on me, just tell Master Su to come see me!"


    In fact, Su Xiruo was well aware that they were not worried for him, they were only worried that he would implicate them.


    After all, the power of the Su Family was not one bit weaker than the Su Family.


    "Su Yuanqing, if your daughter does not give me an explanation today, my Su Family will not end with you two!" At this moment, an angry male voice was heard.


    A man around thirty to forty years old descended from the sky, wielding a weapon in his hand. He looked aggressive with his eyes, as though he wanted to kill Su Xiruo immediately!


    Seeing the situation, Su Yuanqing''s face changed in an instant as he said apologetically: "Master Su, the thousand faults are all my fault. Now she is here, no matter how you punish her, Master Su can decide on her!"


    With that, Su Yuanqing waved his hand at the servant, and coldly ordered: "Men, capture this unfilial girl for me!"


    With the order, all the Domestic Servant s closed in, Su Xiruo retreated a few steps, his light figure flashed past all the weapons of the servants, and quickly attacked. In a few moments, all the servants were lying on the ground, no longer able to retaliate.


    Su Xiruo clapped his hands, his eyes revealing a look of disdain.


    Just with these people alone, they wanted to capture her. What nonsense!


    Su Yuanqing stood at the side, dumbstruck by Su Xiruo''s quick move. It seemed that she did not expect that this good-for-nothing daughter of hers, who had only been outside for a year, would already have such powerful skills.


    "Unfilial daughter, do you still not know your wrongs?" Su Yuanqing saw that Master Su''s face was turning uglier and uglier, he had a bad premonition.


    The temper of the Patriarch of Su Family, Su Yiyun, was never someone to be trifled with. Furthermore, he had a one star Heavenly Spirit Master and his Spiritual Strength was above his. In the entire Prime Minister''S Estate, there was probably no one who could be his match.


    "Hmph." Su Yiyun snorted, he could not bear to watch any longer, and sarcastically said, "Master Su, you are getting more and more useless, to the point where you can''t even control your own daughter anymore?"


    If that was the case, it would be a huge blow and a humiliation to Su Yuanqing.


    But since Su Yuanqing was in the wrong, he couldn''t think of anything to refute.


    "Since you can''t control it, I''ll help you discipline it." Su Yiyun did not hold back at all, as if she was going to take action herself.


    He wanted Su Xiruo to pay the price, and compensate all the injuries his daughter had suffered!


    In the next second, Su Yiyun flew into the air, and landed in front of Su Xiruo. The pressure released by the Spiritual Strength on Heavenly Spirit Master was indeed extraordinary, Qing Yuan bit his lower lip, and started to panic a little.


    However, Su Xiruo''s expression still did not change. Even when facing a Heavenly Spirit Master Ranker, he was still able to remain calm and collected. At least in terms of momentum, he could not lose.


    "Su Xiruo." Su Yiyun took out his sword and threw it in front of Su Xiruo, then said snappily, "Our Su Family is reasonable, but we need to repay this debt with blood, since you cut off one of my daughter''s hand, then you can give me one of your hands as compensation. You can apologize to my daughter yourself, but I will forget about this matter!"


    There was no doubt about his tone, as though there was no room for discussion. Even if Su Xiruo did not make a move, he would probably make a move too.


    Su Xiruo sneered, and retorted back: "Master Su must be joking, I didn''t do anything wrong, how can I apologize?"


    "You hurt my daughter, isn''t that wrong?" Su Yiyun opened his eyes wide, wishing that he could attack her immediately.


    He had originally thought that such a delicate girl wouldn''t be able to withstand his threats. As long as he was a bit more tough, she wouldn''t be able to do anything about it.


    But now it seemed that he was completely wrong. Not only was the young girl in front of him not afraid of him, but she was also looking straight into his eyes.


    "Sir Su!" Su Xiruo''s smile disappeared, and his tone became serious, "I think you know the ins and outs of this matter, it was your daughter who first provoked me today, and that''s why I made my move, and you indiscriminately accused me, if today, your daughter was the one who injured me, would you still intervene in this matter?"


    Su Yiyun''s face turned green at her words, for a moment, she did not know how to respond, so she just avoided the question, "If there is no such thing as'' if the one who is being harmed is my daughter, if you do not want to do it yourself, then I will do it!"


    With that, Su Yiyun picked up the Spiritual Artifact and the powerful Spiritual Strength around him slowly condensed.


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, his eyes as calm as water. There was no fear at all in his eyes: "Then we''ll have to see if you have the ability to do so!"


    "Miss, be careful!" Qing Yuan, who was at the side, really broke out in a cold sweat for his master. After all, Su Yiyun still had a Spiritual Ranked Spiritual Artifact and Miss didn''t have one with her, so the gap between them would probably cause her to suffer greatly.


    Su Xiruo flared up, his sword slashing horizontally. Su Xiruo dodged to the side, and in a flash, a huge boulder behind him was split open by his Sword Qi, following that, Su Yiyun increased his offense and continued to dodge. His expression did not change, he remained calm and collected, as though every step he took was within her control.


    After fighting several times, Su Yiyun did not get hit. He became a little dizzy and started to unleash the Spiritual Strength in his body to strengthen his offense.


    Su Xiruo lightly landed, and took out a worn-out dagger from his sleeve, blocking Su Yiyun''s Spiritual Artifact.


    "Heh, it''s only a piece of Common Tier scrap." The moment Su Yiyun saw that the dagger was of good quality, he did not put it in his eyes at all and increased the power in his hand, causing the powerful Sword Qi s to spew out.


    Su Xiruo calmly poured the Spiritual Strength in his palm into the dagger and waved his hand. Under an unprepared situation, Su Yiyun was actually forced to retreat dozens of steps, a trace of blood flowing from his mouth.


    "This ¡­" Mrs Zhang and Su Yuanqing, who were standing at the side, had sighing expressions.


    Su Yiyun had one star Heavenly Spirit Master, even if Su Yuanqing fought with him, he wouldn''t be able to get any benefits. But against Su Xiruo, he was actually at a disadvantage?


    It must be because Su Yiyun was too careless.


    Su Yiyun''s fingers tightened, he did not expect his Spiritual Strength to be pushed back by a little girl, and he was a little unsatisfied: "Hmph, little girl, I underestimated you, and I did not use my true skills, but this time, you will not be as lucky as before!"


    It looked like Su Yiyun was planning to use his full strength.


    It only took her one star Heavenly Spirit Master and all her strength to deal with a fifteen year old girl. In other words, was this girl''s strength really that strong as well?


    Su Yuanqing almost could not believe this fact.


    "Sure." Su Xiruo was still calm as he smiled and ridiculed, "But Master Su, since you''ve already said that, if you were to be beaten down by me again, it would be too embarrassing!"


    Her tone was extremely arrogant!

 C14

    "Don''t you dare speak such arrogant words!" Su Yiyun''s face immediately darkened, "You won''t have the life to say such words later!"


    After hearing what Su Xiruo said, he really had to win. Originally, as a senior, when fighting with a junior, he would at least win against a martial artist.


    However, what if he really fell into the hands of this little girl? Tomorrow morning, he would probably become the laughingstock of the entire capital!


    Therefore, he had to use all of his strength to deal with this girl!


    Thinking of this, Su Yiyun turned his head and asked Su Yuanqing politely, "Master Su, you don''t have any objections, do you?"


    "This matter was my daughter''s fault in the first place. Sir Su, please do as you please!" Su Yuanqing waved his hand, he did not care at all, he even hoped that someone would help him deal with this unnecessary daughter of his.


    With Su Yuanqing''s permission, Su Yiyun''s heart became a lot more at ease, and he thought that he could completely let go now!


    Su Xiruo curled her fingers tightly, she had long gotten used to Su Yuanqing''s attitude and did not mind it at all. She knew that no one could help her, so she had to focus all her attention on the enemy!


    "Little girl, then don''t blame me for not showing mercy!" Su Yiyun''s tone was filled with confidence as the powerful Spiritual Strength around his body started to soar.


    Su Xiruo frowned, she became more serious and dodged Su Yiyun''s forceful attack, only leaving behind a strand of hair. Then, Su Xiruo agilely turned around, and with a sudden attack from behind, he pushed Su Yiyun away.


    Su Yiyun was not to be outdone, he quickly turned around, and the Spiritual Strength in his palm started to frantically gather.


    "This is ¡­" High level Spiritual Skill! " Mrs Zhang opened his eyes wide, feeling that this was somewhat unbelievable.


    To be able to force Su Yiyun out to use the Spiritual Skill, it could be said that this girl was not simple!


    The Spiritual Skill that Spirit Master cultivates can be divided into the mortal, spirit, profound, and god levels, and the first rank can be divided into the senior high and junior three levels. In order to cultivate the Spiritual Skill, one must first become a, and the threshold cannot be low!


    And in normal times, the people they saw the most were Common Tier Spiritual Skill. Only some of the Empire''s aristocrats would possess Spiritual Skill s of Spiritual Ranked.


    Now, Su Yiyun actually used a high level Spiritual Ranked Spiritual Skill to deal with a fifteen year old little girl. Even if he won, he was afraid that he would be mocked for not winning!


    The servants by the side all retreated, even Mrs Zhang and Su Yuanqing retreated a few steps, afraid that they would be hurt by this.


    Mrs Zhang was secretly delighted in his heart, as he wished very much that Su Xiruo would die under Su Yiyun''s hand!


    "Heh, since you''re so desperate, I''ll let you know a bit about your loss." Su Xiruo laughed lightly, as though he was not prepared at all, and welcomed Su Yiyun''s palm wind.


    Two powerful forces collided against each other, causing no one in the vicinity to dare to approach.


    "Ruo Er, Ruo Er!" It was at this time that the Old Mistress''s voice filled with concern sounded in his ear.


    The Old Mistress who was leaning on his walking stick rushed over. Seeing the scene in front of him, he became anxious and scolded Su Yuanqing: "Yuan Qing, Ruo Er has been bullied, are you still going to stand here and watch?"


    "Mother, it''s Xixi who is in the wrong. You don''t need to worry about this matter." Su Yuanqing had to comfort her first.


    "What do you mean don''t worry about it?" When the Old Mistress heard this, he was extremely furious, "If I didn''t care, Ruo Er would have been killed by you guys today!"


    Finished, Old Mistress wanted to get closer to the battle to stop the two of them.


    "Old Mistress, be careful!"


    Su Xiruo turned around and looked at Old Mistress who was close to the battle circle, and became a little worried: "Grandmother, don''t come over!"


    In that split second of distraction, Su Yiyun had seized the moment to gather his strength and strike Su Xiruo.


    "Damn it!" Su Xiruo was injured, and did not have the time to continue fighting with him, so he just increased the power in his hands and slashed with the powerful Spiritual Strength.


    Su Yiyun suddenly felt that the Spiritual Strength around Su Xiruo''s body had more than doubled in comparison to the previous times. Unable to hold on any longer, his body flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground.


    Pow!


    Suddenly, his mind went blank. He didn''t even know how he lost. That girl attacked so quickly. He didn''t even have time to react before he was killed in an instant!


    Su Yuanqing and Mrs Zhang were dumbfounded. Was she still that obedient little girl? Just now, he had been in high spirits, as if he had become a completely different person!


    It was only then that they realized that Su Xiruo had not said anything crazy just now. If she said she would beat him up, she would beat him up!


    "You ¡­" Su Yiyun held onto the wound on his arm and felt that something was wrong, "What Spiritual Skill is this?"


    That''s not right, was it just an illusion? Why did it feel like the instant that he was slashed by the little girl, the Spiritual Strength was leaking?


    Su Xiruo could not be bothered with him and went straight to Old Mistress. Holding onto Old Mistress''s hand, she asked with a worried tone, "Grandmother, why are you here?"


    "I''m worried that you will be bullied." The Old Mistress hugged Su Xiruo tightly and said angrily, "Yuan Qing, are you just going to watch your own daughter being bullied like this?"


    "Mother, that''s not the case." Su Yuanqing wanted to explain, "Yes, Xiruo injured the great miss of Su Family first, so right now, it''s only right for her to pay a little price!"


    The Old Mistress did not believe their words in the slightest: "I don''t believe that my Ruo Er will take the initiative to hurt others, there must be some secret behind this. If you don''t let Ruo Er explain himself, he will be punished without reason, what a muddle!"


    Being lectured by the Old Mistress, Su Yuanqing''s fingers tightened. He wanted to refute, but couldn''t think of any words to refute: "Mother ¡­"


    "Don''t say anymore!" Old Mistress interrupted him, as if he was not willing to listen in, "If you want to punish Ruo Er today, then kill me first!"


    Su Yiyun crawled up from the ground with his face covered in dirt. He was a little unwilling to be outdone, but in order to maintain their relationship on the surface, he politely greeted Old Mistress. "Old Mistress, don''t be fooled by this evil girl! This girl just used an evil trick and sucked my Spiritual Strength! "


    "Sir Su, you have to have proof when you speak." Su Xiruo lazily interrupted him, "A loss is a loss, if you can''t afford to lose, you can use this kind of excuse to cover it up. Heh, aren''t you afraid that the Su Family will become the laughingstock of the entire Dragon Seal Empire?"


    Su Yiyun''s face flushed red, but she couldn''t think of any retort: "Su Xiruo, you injured my daughter, are you really going to let this go?"


    "I''ve already given you a chance, it''s you who is weaker than others." Su Xiruo''s tone was filled with ridicule, "If Master Su is unwilling, you can continue to come."


    Su Xiruo''s intention was clear, if he had the power, he could just take revenge for her daughter. If he did not have the power, it would be better for him to just shut his mouth!


    "Is Lord Su just going to lower himself to the same level as a junior?" The Old Mistress snorted, and looked down upon this Su Yiyun from the bottom of his heart.


    What kind of ability could he have to bully a girl of his generation?


    Su Yiyun curled his fingers tightly. Although he knew that his strength could not be considered as powerful, but he had never been humiliated by a little girl before. At this moment, he wished he could find a hole to hide in!


    Seeing Su Yiyun not saying a word, Su Xiruo coldly ordered: "If you don''t dare to come, then scram. Qing Yuan, send him out!"


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo gently held onto Old Mistress''s body, and his voice suddenly became gentle: "Grandmother, I''ll send you back to rest first."


    The Old Mistress nodded her head lightly. Su Xiruo then supported her and left the place. The servants beside her, no one dared to stop them.


    "Damn it!" Su Yiyun smashed his fist onto the ground, but the only thing that made him happy was that although he was also injured, Su Xiruo had been hit by the punch from him earlier, and just happened to be injured in the most vital parts of his body.


    If he didn''t have a good spiritual medicine, then it would take a long time to recover. By doing this, he could be considered to have vented a sigh of relief for Teng''er.


    On the high wall of the courtyard, a Men In Black was lazily sitting on the roof. He saw everything that happened in the courtyard and could not help but laugh.


    "This Miss Su is truly worthy of being the woman that Master has set his eyes on. He truly has some abilities."


    It was better for him to hurry back and report the situation here to his master!

 C15

    After Su Xiruo sent Old Mistress back to his residence, he finally relaxed. "Grandmother, you should rest well."


    "Ruo Er, Grandma just saw you being injured, how are you hurt? Are you alright?" Old Mistress seemed to be more worried about her body.


    Su Xiruo lightly shook his head, and said with a face full of liveliness: "It''s fine, it''s just some superficial wounds."


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Only then did Old Mistress relax a bit, "Ruo Er, in the future, here at Prime Minister''S Estate, with Grandma protecting you, if you have any grievances, you can just come and find Grandma, but don''t hold it in!"


    Su Xiruo naturally understood his grandmother''s concern for him, and lightly nodded. "Mn, grandmother, as long as you are here, Ruo Er is not afraid of anything."


    Old Mistress sighed lightly and hugged Su Xiruo in an extremely pampered manner.


    "Grandmother, you haven''t drank your medicine yet, right? I''ll get you some medicine. " Su Xiruo suddenly thought of this matter, and got up to leave the house.


    Just as he stepped out of the door, Su Xiruo coughed softly twice, fresh blood spewing out of his mouth. In that moment, his face was as white as paper.


    "Miss." Qing Yuan who had rushed over, immediately went forward to support Su Xiruo''s body, her face was filled with worry: "Young miss, you''re injured."


    Not only that, his injuries weren''t light either.


    Su Xiruo lightly nodded his head: "I have suffered from internal injuries, and need to recuperate on my own. Qing Yuan, go and bring a bowl of medicine to Old Mistress!"


    "But Miss, you ¡­" Qing Yuan didn''t seem to be at ease.


    "I''m fine." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, trying his best to restrain himself, "If Old Mistress asks, by all means, do not tell Old Mistress that I was injured. Just tell her that I went out because I have something on, so she won''t be worried anymore."


    "..." "Yes." With an uneasy feeling, Qing Yuan agreed in the end.


    Su Xiruo returned to the small courtyard alone. At this time, Su Yiyun had already left, and the extremely "lively" little courtyard that was just now, had once again returned to tranquility.


    Just now, she had already given herself a few Healing Drug s, but the internal injuries this time were not ordinary. Even if she had eaten the Healing Drug, she would still need a few more days of treatment.


    After sitting cross-legged on the bed and recuperating for a while, Su Xiruo felt dizzy, as though he would lose consciousness at any time. Furthermore, the sky outside was getting darker, just as his entire body was about to collapse, he suddenly fell into a soft embrace.


    Su Xiruo sensed that the man was dressed in white, his entire body had a faint fragrance, and before he could even clearly see his face, he had fainted.


    The man carried Su Xiruo''s body, his slender white fingerbone, and helped her tidy up the hair in front of her forehead.


    He held her small hand and the warm Spiritual Strength entered Su Xiruo''s body from his fingertips. Not long after, Su Xiruo''s originally pale face slowly turned red.


    Only after that did the man slowly let go of his hands and carefully helped Su Xiruo cover her face with the blanket. After looking at her exquisite little face for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to lower his head and kiss her forehead.


    After he finished kissing, the man stood up and disappeared into the night sky, leaving behind an afterimage.


    On the morning of the second day, Su Xiruo opened his eyes and touched his wounds from yesterday.


    No, even if he had eaten a Healing Drug, with such a severe internal injury yesterday, he would need at least seven to eight days to fully recover.


    Not only was her injury completely healed, she could even faintly feel that her Spiritual Strength was a bit thicker than before.


    What happened last night?


    Su Xiruo bit her lower lip, trying to recall what happened yesterday, suddenly thinking that last night, there was indeed someone who entered her room, it was just that she did not see his face clearly.


    Thinking about it here, Su Xiruo started to become curious, about who it was that saved him yet did not reveal themselves.


    At this time, with a clang, the Can Meng beside the bed fell to the ground, spilling a bit of Spiritual Strength.


    Su Xiruo picked up the dagger and felt the Spiritual Strength inside it, it seemed to have more energy fluctuations than before.


    Yesterday, she had activated the Can Meng and injured Su Yiyun, sucking in a few Spiritual Strength s, but that little bit of Spiritual Strength was still insufficient to level up the Can Meng.


    At this time, Qing Yuan brought breakfast and came in from outside. Seeing that Su Xiruo was awake, he was a little surprised, "Miss, your injuries ¡­ Are you ready? "


    The healing speed was way too fast!


    "Yeah, it''s fine now." Su Xiruo nodded slightly.


    Qing Yuan brought the breakfast over, "Miss, you should eat something first. Yesterday, you worried me to death.


    "Oh right, Qing Yuan." Su Xiruo thought for a moment, but still answered her question, "Last night, did you see anyone enter my room?"


    Qing Yuan was startled, he then shook his head: "No, what, what happened?"


    "I don''t know either. Yesterday, I passed out and I vaguely saw a man. After waking up, his injuries actually healed." The more Su Xiruo thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.


    "Is there such a thing?" Qing Yuan felt that it was inconceivable, "Then young miss has really met someone important."


    Su Xiruo casually ate her breakfast, thinking that if she had the chance to meet him again in the future, she would have to thank him in front of him!


    "This time, the Su Family Patriarch definitely did not expect that, your injuries were not serious at all." Thinking of this, Qing Yuan felt a little proud in his heart.


    Yesterday, Su Yiyun had sneak attacked her, if not, he would have been unable to defeat her, and would have been lucky enough to get away with it.


    "Heh, I''m afraid it''s time Su Yiyun came to find me." Su Xiruo laughed in disdain, he had already known this would happen.


    Sure enough, Su Xiruo''s words hit home. Just as he was about to eat breakfast, he heard the maid say that Su Family''s second young miss had come to seek an audience.


    Su Xiruo lazily sat on the imperial bed, acting like nothing had happened as he played with his dagger. As for Su Biyue, who was sitting at the side, his face filled with worry, he didn''t know what to say.


    "Sister Cyril ¡­" "Yesterday''s matter was indeed because my father was too impulsive in his actions. Today, I''m here to apologize on behalf of father, and I hope that Sister Cyril can give me the antidote and let me go back and cure father of the poison."


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, as if he was not in a hurry at all.


    That''s right, she was poisoned by the Can Meng the day before, if she did not have the antidote for it, Su Yiyun would probably not live past ten days.


    She wanted to make those people pay the price, and let them know that she, Su Xiruo, was not someone to be trifled with!


    "Why didn''t your father come in person? To ask you to come in person for the antidote, aren''t you being too insincere?" Su Xiruo''s attitude was arrogant, and not willing to give her any face at all.


    Su Biyue curled his fingers tightly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and forced out a smile: "Sister Cyril, after all, I was blaming myself for dealing with this matter inappropriately before, I should have stopped father yesterday, and not let him be so impulsive. I am regretting it now, I hope that my sister can accept my sincere apology."


    After saying that, Su Biyue stood up and knelt in front of Su Xiruo, his attitude extremely humble: "As long as little sister is willing to take out the antidote, I''ll do whatever you want."


    Su Xiruo shot a glance at her, and said coldly: "You seem to be quite sensible, much better than your simple-minded older sister."


    Su Biyue could not help but smile: "Many thanks for your praise, little sister. How about this, this antidote is not for nothing, I can give little sister some useful things in exchange."


    Listening up to here, Su Xiruo could guess that this Su Biyue should not be simple.


    She pretended to be indifferent and asked, "What condition?"


    Su Biyue explained slowly: "I heard that Old Mistress has insomnia, and it has always been a huge problem. I have a secret recipe here that can cure it, I don''t know, is little sister interested?"

 C16

    Hearing this, a trace of astonishment flashed past Su Xiruo''s eyes, and he was even more certain in his heart that this Su Biyue was extraordinary.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo asked indifferently: "How would I know if this medicinal formula is true?"


    Su Biyue smiled mysteriously, "Sister Cyril, I think that as a doctor, you should be able to differentiate between the two of us, right?"


    Physician? Heh, Su Xiruo thought, this Su Biyue is really smart. With this short contact, he thought that she was a doctor.


    Unfortunately, she was a Poison Master, a Poison Master who completely disobeyed doctors!


    Su Xiruo stood up, and the Spiritual Strength in his body slowly condensed. He used his perception to check the Spiritual Strength in Su Biyue''s body, and seemed to have discovered something new.


    Su Biyue''s Physique... There seemed to be a difference! She was actually a Poison Master!


    One had to know that the Poison Master''s physique was one in a thousand. Even if one had a qualified physique, if they wanted to become a Poison Master, they would probably need to go through many harsh selections.


    The more I think about it, the more I feel that this Su Biyue is not simple, so Su Xiruo simply agreed to it: "Alright, bring the prescription over for me to take a look, if I think that you are satisfied, then I will satisfy you!"


    Actually, as a medicinal ingredient, the Calming Spirit Flower had a certain effect on Grandma''s insomnia. However, the treatment cycle was too long, so the effects weren''t too obvious. Therefore, he really needed a higher grade medicinal ingredient as a guide.


    Seeing that she had agreed, Su Biyue immediately took out the prescription from his sleeves. Without thinking, he handed it over to Su Xiruo: "Sister, please have a look."


    Su Xiruo took the prescription and unfolded it. The prescription was a little complicated, so the ones ranked at the very front were a medicinal ingredient of the fifth step, Flood Dragon Herba, and a Beast Core of the fifth step.


    Tier 5 herbs were precious, needless to say, even if one had sufficient money, it would still be difficult to find.


    As for Rank Five spirit beasts, they were equivalent to the strength of a human Heavenly Spirit Master. If one wanted a better grade one, they would have to fight against a high level Heavenly Spirit Master spirit beast, which was equivalent to the strength of nine star Heavenly Spirit Master!


    Su Xiruo didn''t have much confidence in fighting a spirit beast of such strength. It was simply not a match for him.


    However, with Poison Master''s eyesight, he could see that every single herb on the prescription was not carelessly written and had solid evidence.


    "Sister Cyril." Su Biyue seemed to be able to read some of Su Xiruo''s thoughts, and laughed: "I believe with your strength and background, you will definitely find a way to obtain these medicinal ingredients!"


    Su Xiruo looked at her from head to toe, then put away the medicinal formula: "Big sister Su, you are a smart person, but I also have something to tell you, sometimes it''s better not to think too much about it."


    Although Su Biyue was also a Poison Master, she was definitely not of a high rank. If not, why would he bother trying to obtain the medicine from her?


    If he had not observed her in secret, how would he know that she was also from Poison Master?


    Su Biyue bit his lower lip: "Thank you little sister for your praise. Then, about the antidote ¡­."


    "This is half of the antidote, after your father consumes it, he will be safe and sound for a month. Once I find these medicinal ingredients and cure my grandmother''s insomnia, I will naturally give your other half the antidote."


    She wouldn''t take out all the antidotes at once and make things difficult for him.


    Being able to get half of the antidote, Su Biyue was already very satisfied in his heart. He immediately thanked her happily: "Many thanks Little Sister, then I won''t disturb Little Sister anymore, and will be leaving first."


    With that, Su Biyue stood up and left the house. His eyes had a profound look in them, no one knew what he was thinking about.


    And now, all of Su Xiruo''s attention was on the prescription in his hands.


    These medicinal ingredients could be considered to be relatively precious. For Su Xiruo, this was somewhat difficult and would require a few days to gather.


    After Su Biyue left, Qing Yuan, who was at the side, spoke to remind him: "Miss, perhaps ¡­ We can go to the capital''s Auction House s to take a look.


    "Auction House." Su Xiruo repeated these three words thoughtfully, as if he had seen some hope.


    "That''s right." Qing Yuan nodded his head and patiently explained, "I''ve asked around before. In the capital''s Auction House, there will be an auction every day. Let''s go try our luck.


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly. Indeed, if one wanted to obtain Flood Dragon Herba s in a short period of time, other than Auction House, that would be only Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    "However, young miss ¡­" At this time, Qing Yuan was still considering a problem, "The price of the Auction House is very serious, we don''t have much silver on hand."


    Su Xiruo naturally also thought of this problem, and had already thought of a plan to deal with it. "Since that''s the case, then I''ll think of a way to get some silver from you."


    The next day, Su Xiruo was dressed in men''s attire, his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, in his hand was a fan, he wore a mask, revealing half of his delicate and pretty face, he looked just like an elegant Young Noble.


    Qing Yuan followed behind them, dressed in men''s clothing, and the two of them arrived at the capital''s Auction House.


    After all, there were too many familiar people in the capital. If he went directly with his real identity, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. This way of hiding his identity was probably the easiest way to avoid trouble.


    This Auction House was located at the outskirts of the capital, but even so, the amount of people passing by did not decrease.


    "Gongzi, please show your invitation cards."


    Those who were able to come to the capital''s Auction House were mostly nobles, and ordinary people didn''t even have the qualifications to enter.


    Su Xiruo was startled, she seemed to have thought of this situation, and gently shook her head, lowering her voice: "There is no invitation card."


    Upon hearing that there was no invitation card, the guard''s voice grew even colder, "I''m sorry, the Auction House rules state that you are not allowed to enter without the invitation card!"


    Hearing their haughty and arrogant tone, Qing Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. After carefully sizing up the two guards, he realized that they were only at the level of Spirit Master, and yet they dared to speak so arrogantly?


    Su Xiruo gave Qing Yuan a look to let her calm down first. Then, he took out a small medicine bottle from his bosom and said to the guard: "How about this, I''m here to see the higher ups of your Auction House. Take this medicine and let them see the doctor from Auction House."


    "You want to see the higher ups of the Auction House?" When the guards heard this, they all felt that it was funny. "Heh, people normally wouldn''t be able to see it, but based on you guys?"


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, and did not get angry: "I''ll trouble Big Brother to help out."


    With that, he gave a silver ingot to the guard and the guard''s attitude became slightly better, "Alright, just you wait!"


    After the guard left, Qing Yuan felt a little unhappy in his heart, "Miss, I didn''t think that such a small guard would be so arrogant. I''ve really broadened my horizons today."


    Su Xiruo was not surprised at all, "That would depend on where the guards are, and Auction House is considered a strong force in the entire capital. It''s reasonable for them to look down on a few people."


    "Hmph, they''ll know their mistake soon." Qing Yuan coldly snorted, as if he was really looking forward to their "face-smacking".


    After touching for a while, the guard hurriedly rushed over and looked at the two of them in surprise. His tone became much more respectful, "Two gongzis, our masters are inviting you in for a chat. Please come this way!"


    Qing Yuan snorted and muttered: "A dog''s eyes will always look down on people."


    The two of them followed the guard to a private room where a white-haired old man was sitting.


    "This is our Auction House''s physician, Master Lin Xian. He is an intermediate level Spiritual Ranked''s physician!" The guard then introduced them with a face full of pride, "Please enter!"


    Out of politeness, Su Xiruo slightly nodded towards the old man to show his respect, while the guard tactfully went out.


    "Young master, did you make this Ling Ling Dan yourself?" Master Lin Xian''s tone carried a little excitement.

 C17

    "Yes." Su Xiruo replied with a low voice.


    Lin Xian''s eyes widened in disbelief. One had to know that this Ling Ling Dan was a high-grade Spiritual Ranked poison, capable of allowing a person at the seventh level of the Spirit Body Realm to immediately break through to the.


    Poison Master was a profession that could be found only once every ten thousand miles, and poisons of this level were priceless. Once the auction started, many noble families would fight to buy them.


    "Young master, how should I address you?" Lin Xian hurriedly asked.


    A high level Spiritual Ranked poison could only be produced by a high level spirit rank Poison Master, but he did not remember that there was such a spirit rank Poison Master in the capital!


    Therefore, the identity of this young master must be extraordinary.


    "Yunxi." Su Xiruo blurted out, and revealed the alias he had thought of a long time ago.


    "Yunxi ¡­" Lin Xian thought as he repeated his words, but he still couldn''t remember if there was a Poison Master called Yun Xi.


    However, these issues were not very important at the moment. The most important thing to do now was to coax this noble Poison Master.


    "Young master, are you planning to auction this Ling Ling Dan in our auction house?" Lin Xian asked tentatively.


    "That''s right."


    Seeing that Su Xiruo had agreed so readily, Lin Xian was a little excited in his heart: "Then, what request do you have?"


    Once this Ling Ling Dan was auctioned off in the Auction House, it would definitely attract many customers. Even if they gave her some benefits, their Auction House would not lose out, and it would just be to win over people''s hearts.


    Therefore, as long as Su Xiruo did not make any excessive requests, he would do his best to agree. After all, to be able to win over a Poison Master with a high Spiritual Ranked was a lot of benefits for them.


    "I only want one thing." Su Xiruo did not keep him in suspense, and went straight to the point, "Calming Spirit Flower."


    The reason she said this was because she wanted to first probe out the true strength of this Auction House.


    "Calming Flower ¡­" That is a Rank 4 herb! " Lin Xian opened his eyes wide, he was somewhat hesitant about this matter.


    Su Xiruo knew what he was hesitating about, so she took out another nine Ling Ling Dan s and placed them on a table.


    Seeing this, Lin Xian felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out. This young master could actually take out ten Ling Ling Dan s at once!


    You have to know, Ling Ling Dan s are high-grade Spiritual Ranked poisons, even if it''s a High Rank Poison Master, they can only produce one every month. If he can produce ten, it might mean that this young master is not just a Spirit Ranked Poison Master!


    Could he be a Profound Rank Poison Master?


    In the entire capital, there was only one Profound Rank Poison Master, and his status was extremely noble. If their Auction House could win over this Profound Rank Poison Master, then the benefits they could bring could be imagined!


    Therefore, without even thinking, Lin Xian decisively agreed. "Alright, since it''s Young Master''s request, we will naturally fulfill it for you. It''s just that the number of Calm Divine Flowers in our Auction House is not many, I wonder if Young Master would like to wait a few more days?"


    "How much longer?" Su Xiruo naturally could understand, as for those rare medicinal herbs, Auction House was not necessarily guaranteed to exist at all times.


    "In three days." Lin Xian thought for a moment and gave his young master a more precise time, "Within three days, I will definitely provide you with enough Calm Flower."


    "Auction out my Ling Ling Dan first, deduct the cost of the Calming Spirit Flower from the silver taels that you get." Su Xiruo did not want to take advantage of them, so he asked, "Oh right, there''s still one more herb."


    "What herb?"


    "Flood Dragon Herba." Finally, Su Xiruo said these three words.


    "Flood Dragon Herba... "Herbs of the fifth step?" Lin Xian was almost shocked by her words.


    Tier 5 herbs were usually used to make medicines or poisons above the Profound Rank. It looks like this little gongzi was really a Poison Master!


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo''s performance, was extremely calm.


    This time, Lin Xian was in a difficult position. Rank 5 medicine was already a very rare and precious existence, moreover, the Flood Dragon Herba s that were used to make poisons, if they did exist, then they would be priceless.


    However, when he thought about how this little gongzi in front of him was a Profound Rank Poison Master, Lin Xian steeled his heart and agreed, "How about this, Young Master Yunxi, ten days from now, Auction House will carry out a huge sale. Before this, if you''re able to get a Flood Dragon Herba, then you''ll also be auctioned off.


    Su Xiruo understood what he meant. This Flood Dragon Herba was incomparably precious, although Lin Xian was willing to gift it to Su Xiruo directly, but they still wanted to go through the process so that this Flood Dragon Herba could at least show its face in front of the world.


    "Master Lin Xian, you''re welcome." Su Xiruo laughed, and was still rather polite, "What should I do, I will follow the rules of Auction House. When the time comes, I will auction off the Flood Dragon Herba myself."


    She did not want to take too many advantage of this Auction House, or else, there would be endless connections in the future.


    This was the first time Lin Xian had seen such an easy-to-talk guest. Before he even had the chance to say anything, Su Xiruo took the lead and said: "Then it''s a deal, three days later, I''ll come over again. I''ll leave first today."


    "Young master, please wait." Lin Xian seemed to have something else to say, he stopped them, "How about, little young master give me an address, three days later, I will send people to personally send you the Calm Divine Flower, that way, you won''t have to come here again."


    Su Xiruo was not stupid, so he was naturally able to tell that although Lin Xian seemed to be thinking about her, he actually just wanted to ask for her address.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo tactfully refused: "No need, I''ll come over sooner or later anyways. I think it''s best if I come over myself."


    "Alright then." Lin Xian couldn''t force her, so he could only give up, and changed his tone, "Little gongzi, take this VIP invitation, the next time you come, there will be someone specially for you."


    With that, Lin Xian gave the invitation card that was filled with gold to Su Xiruo. Su Xiruo accepted the invitation card, said his thanks, and was sent out.


    After leaving the Auction House, that knot in Su Xiruo''s heart finally started to feel a little better.


    She needed a treatment cycle for this insomnia. She would first use the Calm Flower as a medicinal catalyst for her grandmother to consume for a period of time. Ten days later, after she obtains the Flood Dragon Herba s, Rank Five Beast Core s, and then use a new poison to treat them, there should not be too much of a problem.


    Suddenly, she felt that there was a sneaky shadow behind her that seemed to be following her all the time. She couldn''t help but slightly frown, secretly throwing out a stone that just happened to hit that man.


    "Ouch." The man was hit, he raised his head and saw that Su Xiruo had turned her head to glance at him, her expression full of warning and disdain.


    I''m done for. I seem to have been exposed, so I better hurry up and hide. Otherwise, I really don''t know how I''m going to explain this to master anymore.


    Thus, the man turned, and was about to leave when he saw Su Xiruo standing in front of him.


    At that moment, the man was a bit nervous. He took two steps back and smiled embarrassedly. "Young miss ¡­"


    Su Xiruo was immediately on high alert, thinking that the person in front of him was not simple, to think that he could not even detect his strength.


    In other words, his strength was at least on par with his own!


    "Speak, who sent you?" Qing Yuan coldly asked, clearly not feeling well in his heart.


    "No one sent me, I just... I just happened to pass by. " The man was slightly nervous, afraid that he would be punished by his master if he went back.


    "You''d better tell me the truth." Su Xiruo looked at him in the eyes. Even though she felt that this man''s strength was possibly higher than hers, she was still not afraid in the slightest, "Otherwise, I will chase after him myself to the end!"


    When the man heard her words, he became a little nervous and slowly retreated, getting ready to escape at any moment.


    Su Xiruo seemed to be able to see through his intentions, and with the fastest speed possible, she grabbed the command medallion off his waist.


    "So it''s from the General''S Estate." Su Xiruo scrutinized the order badge, and could not help but smile.

 C18

    The man let out a faint sigh. After finding out his identity, he had already been exposed and felt a little helpless: "That''s right, this one is Liu Sheng, from General''S Estate. I apologize for offending Miss Su!"


    Seeing that his attitude was still sincere and that he was strengthening the people from the General''S Estate, the defenses at the bottom of Su Xiruo''s heart was put down, and he asked: "Did Zhuyan send you here?"


    However, Su Xiruo quickly rejected this answer in his heart.


    That''s not right! A guard with such profound strength actually had such a high level of strength. It''s very possible that he''s someone close to Helian Yunqian!


    It''s just that Su Xiruo didn''t understand, there was no enmity between him and that guy, why would he send people to follow him like that?


    "This... The general sent me over. " Liu Sheng hesitated for a long time before finally being forced to tell her the truth.


    After all, he knew that the Miss Su and his young miss were close friends.


    So, it would be more accurate to say that it was the truth. This way, he could also leave a good impression on the Miss Su.


    "General Helian?" Sure enough, it was within Su Xiruo''s expectations, but she still didn''t fully understand, "What is General Helian trying to do?"


    Could it be that Helian Yunqian was worried that Yue Yang would reveal his identity as a Spirit Beast, which was why he had people constantly watching him.


    If that was the case, then from now on, he would be in deep trouble.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Miss Su, don''t think too much. " Liu Sheng hurriedly spoke up for his master, "Although our family''s general looks cold on the surface, but he''s actually kind on the inside. When he saw that you and our family''s young miss are good friends, and that you''ve been in danger recently, he sent me over to help you in the dark!"


    After walking around in a big circle, Liu Sheng could finally make sense of the situation, but in his heart, he was already prepared to go back and be scolded.


    He had underestimated Su Xiruo''s strength, and thought that he could not expose himself, hence he was this careless. However, he did not expect that Miss Su would discover him so quickly.


    However, if that was the case, Su Xiruo still carried a doubtful attitude, he felt that Helian Yunqian had a goal in mind.


    However, in the face of Helian Yunqian''s personal guard, she obviously could not reveal anything, and could only tactfully say: "When you go back, please help me thank General Helian for his good intentions. However, since I can take care of my own matters, I will not trouble General to do so."


    "Miss Su is too polite. Since young miss has said so, then I will go back and pass on young miss''s intention to master." Liu Sheng knew that she was giving herself a way out of this predicament, so naturally she did not dare to say anything more.


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, and watched as Liu Sheng turned and left.


    "Miss." Liu Sheng had just left, but Qing Yuan was a little worried, "He saw with his own eyes that we hid our identities and entered the Auction House, shouldn''t we not treat him as leaving so easily? I am worried, Helian Yunqian is monitoring us, he has a goal! "


    Su Xiruo sighed, her tone sounded helpless: "Then what can we do, you didn''t realize, that the guard''s strength was extremely high, I''m afraid that even I am not your opponent."


    Qing Yuan opened his eyes wide, and only felt that it was a little inconceivable. "If you''re not even his opponent, then that would indeed be somewhat terrifying."


    For a mere bodyguard to be so powerful, it could be imagined just how powerful the background behind Helian Yunqian was!


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo lowered his voice and explained, "We can''t afford to offend this Helian Yunqian for now, but I should at least find a chance to talk with him face to face!"


    If this continued, he would not even know that he was being toyed with. Therefore, he might as well find an opportunity to clarify things in front of him.


    "Miss, I''m a little afraid ¡­" Qing Yuan seemed to be a little worried. After all, the other party''s power was unfathomable.


    "What are you afraid of?" Su Xiruo, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, "I will deal with him once and for all, if he truly wants to deal with me, I will naturally be able to think of a way!"


    Since the other party wanted to play, then she would follow him to the end. She wanted to see just what that fellow''s goal was.


    With a helpless tone, he took the initiative to apologize in front of his master: "Master, this subordinate is incompetent, and accidentally let Miss Su find out, and my identity was exposed."


    Helian Yunqian gave him a glance, and his expression revealed a little disdain: "A Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master, actually revealed your identity in front of a little girl?"


    It was a bit embarrassing to say it like this.


    "No, Mistress." "Miss Su''s strength isn''t low either. I was too careless and underestimated her."


    "Why is she going to the Auction House?" Helian Yunqian seemed to be more concerned about this matter, and casually asked.


    Liu Sheng blurted out: "I think I''m going to buy medicinal ingredients, but Miss Su seems to be lacking some money recently."


    Helian Yunqian frowned, "Are you short on money?"


    "That''s right, if not, the Miss Su would not have gone to the Auction House to sell his own items." Liu Sheng answered truthfully, he did not hide anything, "How about I, in the name of the young miss, send some silver to the Miss Su?"


    "No need." Helian Yunqian rejected him flatly, "When is the next big auction of the capital''s Auction House going to be?"


    "Ten days later."


    Hearing this, he slightly nodded his head, "Ten days later, we will go take a look as well."


    Ten days passed by silently. During these ten days, because Su Jinxi was grounded, Su Xiruo had always been focused on his cultivation.


    On this day, Su Jinxi came over early in the morning to pay respects to Su Yuanqing, only to see that Su Yuanqing and Mrs Zhang had finished dressing and were ready to go out.


    "Father, daughter greets father." Su Jinxi walked up and bowed respectfully.


    "You shut yourself up in your room and thought about it. Why did you come out?" Su Yuanqing glanced at her snappily.


    "Father." Su Jinxi bit his lower lip, and looked extremely wronged, "For the past half month, I have been sincerely repenting every day, and have never dared to take even half a step outside of my room. Just consider my sincere attitude, and bring me to the auction today!"


    Normally, before the auction, there would be some small talk about it. She knew from the small talk that there might be Ling Ling Dan appearing this time, after all, in the auction a few days ago, there were already some Ling Ling Dan that appeared, and they were all quietly being auctioned off.


    This Ling Ling Dan could make a Spirit Body realm Spirit Master immediately break through and become a. This dividing line was something that many people could not cross even after spending more than ten years.


    Therefore, if she acquired the Ling Ling Dan, she could also become a genuine. Naturally, she would want to fight for it.


    "What are you doing?" Su Yuanqing was disdainful, as though he did not plan to bring her along.


    "I heard from a grapevine that there might be Ling Ling Dan in the auction today!" Su Jinxi was getting a little anxious, "Father, if I have the Ling Ling Dan, I can become a!"


    Su Yuanqing''s eyes turned, disbelieving: "That is only hearsay, don''t you know, only two days before the auction took place, only five Ling Ling Dan were sold, this thing is so rare, even Auction House, won''t be able to get it so quickly!"


    In his heart, he didn''t really believe that Auction House could take out that many Ling Ling Dan in one go.


    Even if he did, it would require a very high price. He still had to hesitate a little.


    "Father." Su Jinxi was a little unreconciled, "Even if there isn''t any Ling Ling Dan, there are definitely many good things today. Just let me go together with you, I beg you!"


    Mrs Zhang at the side also couldn''t help but speak up for her daughter, "Master, today''s opportunity is really rare. Recently, Wuxi has been very obedient, so please make an exception and let her go.


    "Mother is right." Su Jinxi nodded her head like a chick pecking rice grains, her eyes filled with pleading. "Father, you can take me with you!"


    "Ai, alright then!"

 C19

    Thus, under Su Jinxi''s imploring, Su Yuanqing finally agreed to bring her along to the Auction House.


    Su Jinxi went back and quickly changed his clothes. He arrogantly walked out of the inner hall and saw Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan strolling in the backyard.


    Naturally, she would not let go of any chance to show off. Taking small steps, she walked forward with a seductive and graceful posture. With a slightly mocking tone, she said, "Yo, big sister, you really have a lot of free time. You even have the time to stroll around here today."


    Su Xiruo turned around and gave her a casual glance: "Why aren''t you staying in your room and thinking about it, what are you doing here?"


    In truth, Su Xiruo knew that in this large-scale auction, everyone in the capital wanted to go and have a look. Even if they had to squeeze their brains out to pay an expensive sum of silver, they would all want to get some treasures.


    Therefore, Su Jinxi definitely wanted to take a look.


    "Heh, father has granted me a pardon. I''m going to Auction House with him." Su Jinxi was very pleased with himself when he mentioned it, "Elder sister, don''t tell me that father does not plan to bring you along too?"


    Su Xiruo didn''t comment on her smile, and said lightly: "That''s right, I won''t go and join in on the fun."


    "Hur hur." Su Jinxi was extremely happy when he found out that she couldn''t go, "This liveliness is not something that everyone can get together with. Elder sister, stay at home and don''t have the chance to go out for the rest of your life."


    After he finished speaking, Su Jinxi turned around, planning to walk away. However, Su Xiruo opened his mouth and said: "Then I wish that little sister will be able to obtain the thing she wants, otherwise others will snatch it away!"


    "Don''t be such a jinx!" After Su Jinxi heard this, he became angry and left in anger.


    "This Su Jinxi, I really don''t know what she''s so proud of." Qing Yuan looked at Su Jinxi''s departing figure from far away and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.


    "Forget it, she won''t be happy for long anyway." Su Xiruo did not take her seriously, and did not care about her at all.


    "Miss, shouldn''t we leave as well?" Qing Yuan also couldn''t wait to go to the Auction House.


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, "Mn, let''s go change."


    Su Jinxi dressed elegantly, following beside Su Yuanqing, when he just arrived, he immediately saw Prince Anxian, who was not far away.


    As if she had seen some treasure, she happily went forward and greeted Mu An: "Prince Anxian, you''re here too."


    Mu An glanced at her, as if he did not care about it at all. He then looked around but did not see Su Xiruo at all.


    "Where''s your sister? Why didn''t she come along?" Mu An pretended to ask casually.


    However, just this casual question made Su Jinxi extremely unhappy, and he replied sulkily: "She doesn''t have the qualifications to come with us. She''s at home."


    Hearing this, Mu An felt a little disappointed in his heart: "Mn, then go in with your father, I still have things to do."


    With that, Mu An turned and left, and did not plan to bother with Su Jinxi anymore.


    "Prince Anxian, Prince Anxian!" Su Jinxi was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he could clearly feel that the Prince Anxian did not want to bother with her.


    At this moment, a gentle voice entered his ears, "Little Sister Qianxi, I didn''t expect that you would come today."


    Su Jinxi turned around and saw that it was Su Biyue. He politely greeted her: "It''s Sister Su."


    On the surface, her relationship with Su Biyue was pretty good. After all, Su Biyue had a gentle personality, and would always get along with anyone.


    "Mm, just nice, let''s go in together." Su Biyue smiled and held her hand. The two of them went in together, but after walking a few steps, she stopped moving for a second.


    Behind him, a few sighs could be heard as Ye Zhuozhuo walked in the middle. Mu Lingxi and Helian Yunqian, one on the left and one on the right, one in black, one in white;


    Su Biyue was no exception. His gaze was fixated on Helian Yunqian''s body, as if he could not move his eyes away anymore.


    Su Biyue stopped and took the initiative to walk over, his face full of joy as he greeted: "General Helian, your highness, I never thought that you all would come too. How about we go together?"


    For an auction like this, Helian Yunqian would always disdain coming here to take a look, so much so that he would not even pay attention to it. But today, he actually personally came.


    This made others feel even more that there must be many treasures in this auction.


    However, the two of them did not pay any attention to Su Biyue, but Ye Zhuozhuo started the conversation: "Second Miss Su, the Prince and I, do not seem to be familiar with you?"


    In her heart, she probably felt that this Su Biyue was just a smiling face man who appeared amiable on the surface. In fact, she must still be bearing a grudge towards him from the last time.


    It was better to stay away from such a person.


    "Brilliant little sister." "Last time, it was my big sister who made things difficult for you and Sister Cyril. She felt extremely bad, and had been at home all day repenting, so before I came over, my big sister had even specifically instructed me that if I saw you two, I must apologize to you in person. I hope you can forgive me."


    She thought, with such a friendly tone, there shouldn''t be many people who would refuse directly.


    However, it was precisely this kind of tone that made Ye Zhuozhuo feel somewhat uncomfortable.


    Many people would sympathize with Su Biyue if they saw her high-profile apology. She had done all the good guys by herself, but was just like an evil person.


    Mu Lingxi sized Su Biyue up from head to toe, feeling that this woman had a fake smile on her face, he asked Ye Zhuozhuo: "Brilliant, do you know her?"


    Ye Zhuozhuo coldly snorted. "Heh, not familiar."


    This word was enough to express her dislike for Su Biyue.


    Su Biyue saw that Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo were not nice to her, so he placed all of his attention on Helian Yunqian, "General Helian, I know you are a straightforward person, but the matter from last time, since I was also punished, we can write off this matter, but I am not willing to become enemies with you!"


    "Hello, Second Miss Su!" Finally, Mu Lingxi could not listen anymore, and interrupted Su Biyue, "Brilliant, you said that you are not familiar with me, why are you explaining things to us, aren''t you asking for trouble? Also, if you don''t want General Helian to hate you, then go further away, he hates women that pester him the most. "


    Straight away, without considering the consequences, this was Mu Lingxi''s usual style of speaking, every word struck right at the heart.


    Ye Zhuozhuo listened from the side, and seeing Su Biyue''s increasingly ugly expression, he was extremely happy in his heart, and deliberately ignored Su Biyue. He said, "Your Highness, Brother, let''s go in!"


    "Alright." As Mu Lingxi faced Ye Zhuozhuo, his tone suddenly became much gentler, as he held onto Ye Zhuozhuo''s small hand and walked in together with her.


    Ye Zhuozhuo glanced at Su Jinxi, and couldn''t help but sigh slightly. It looks like, if she doesn''t come today, she would definitely think of ways to sell it to Ruo Ruo as long as she saw the medicinal ingredients that she needed.


    "He''s too arrogant." After they left, Su Jinxi was a little unhappy, "Sister Su, your temper is just too good, that''s why you were always bullied by Ye Zhuozhuo!"


    Su Biyue laughed helplessly. In order to maintain her gentle image, her words were still as gentle as ever, "It''s fine, she might be angry at my big sister in her heart, and has to find someone to vent her anger. As long as she''s comfortable in her heart, it''s fine for me to be scolded."


    "Sigh, Big Sister Su, you''re really great." The more Su Jinxi heard, the more he felt angry, "Hmph, there will be a day when I will help you properly teach that Ye Zhuozhuo a lesson!"


    "Thank you sister for your kind intentions, there''s no need for that." On the surface, Su Biyue did not appear to be shocked, but in his heart, he was ridiculing Su Jinxi.


    Heh, even she, Su Jinxi, dares to provoke the great fortune of the General''S Estate, isn''t she overestimating herself too much.

 C20

    After waiting until almost everyone had entered, Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan finally arrived, dressed in male attire. They were late.


    "Two gongzis, you''re here? This will make our lord wait for a long time. " The guard outside the door had an extremely good attitude when he saw the two of them. Compared to the previous time, his attitude was like a sharp contrast.


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded, and said in a low voice: "I''m only here to participate in the auction, and also have something to auction."


    The guard widened his eyes and hurriedly invited them in. "Two gongzis, please come this way first!"


    Lin Xian was waiting inside the room. Upon seeing the two of them, he hurriedly stood up and welcomed them with a smile: "Young Noble, you''re here, I''ve already arranged a room for you. The auction is starting in a bit, get someone to lead you there."


    "Hmm, I just happened to bring something with me today as an auction item." Su Xiruo calmly took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeves and placed it on the table.


    The thick and strong Spiritual Strength struck right at his face. Although Lin Xian couldn''t tell at a glance what kind of poison it was at first glance, he knew in his heart that it was definitely a top-grade poison!


    "This... "What is this?"


    "This is an intermediate level Profound Rank poison, Spirit Dispersing Water." Su Xiruo said in a bland voice, as if he was narrating an ordinary matter.


    "Intermediate Profound Rank Poison?!" Lin Xian''s eyes almost popped out, her hands trembling slightly, she picked up the bottle of medicine, used the Spiritual Strength to check, and confirmed that this poison was at the Intermediate Profound Rank rank.


    This little gongzi can actually take out a Intermediate Profound Rank Poison?


    "This scattered spirit water can cause the opponent''s Spiritual Strength to be suppressed by half within four hours. However, it is only effective on Spirit Master s below the Heavenly Spirit Master." Su Xiruo then explained to him the effects of the poison.


    "This... "This." Hearing her tone, Lin Xian didn''t know how to reply.


    Looking at the entire empire, he had really not seen many Spirit Master with Heavenly Spirit Master or Heavenly Spirit Master. Thus, this scattered spirit water was practically all useful to the vast majority of Spirit Master!


    "Young Master, you''re really generous." Lin Xian was so excited that he almost couldn''t speak. This scattered spirit water could be placed at the bottom of the auction, it would definitely bring them more reputation and Auction House.


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, "I was forced to such an extent."


    After all, previously, the amount of silver that the Ling Ling Dan had auctioned was almost gone. Although there were still five Ling Ling Dan that had yet to be auctioned, it would probably be difficult to obtain one.


    Therefore, she needed more silver coins just in case!


    "Young master Yunxi, don''t worry. From now on, you are our esteemed guest in Auction House. If you have any needs, just tell us." Lin Xian was also very straightforward, thinking, if he could get Yun Xi to come here, then it would definitely be a great harvest from Auction House.


    However, he was a Profound Rank Poison Master, so he did not necessarily need to pay attention to a small Auction House.


    "Master Lin Xian is too polite."


    "Young master Yunxi, this way please. I''ll take you to the pavilion." This time, Lin Xian was going to act personally.


    Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan followed behind him and were arranged to sit in a quiet and quiet room. It could be said that these were the best seats in the entire auction.


    After Su Xiruo sat down, she looked up and saw that the pavilion opposite of her was precisely Ye Zhuozhuo, Helian Yunqian and Mu Lingxi. She also kept having the feeling that there was a pair of eyes that was staring at her the entire time.


    In order to not attract attention, Su Xiruo lowered his head and casually took a sip of his wine.


    "Miss, why do I feel that General Helian was staring at you just now? He couldn''t have recognized you, right?" Qing Yuan whispered into her ear.


    Su Xiruo lowered his voice and said softly, "He probably recognized me."


    What exactly is that guy trying to do? First, he sent someone to monitor me and now, he has come back to Auction House.


    With his strength, he should not have taken a fancy to any cultivation method or Spiritual Artifact that was auctioned off by the Auction House.


    "Ah?" "Then what should we do, will he expose your identity?" Qing Yuan suddenly started to worry.


    "Whatever, I''ve already come. I cannot let all of my work fail. I do not believe that he will expose me in front of everyone." Su Xiruo simply threw caution to the wind.


    Since she had reached where she was today, no matter what, she had to get the Flood Dragon Herba.


    On the other side, Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were happily chatting. Their focus was not on the auction at all.


    "Brilliant, just tell me what you want in a while. No matter what price you have to pay, I will help you bid for it." Mu Lingxi wanted to curry favor with Ye Zhuozhuo with him.


    Ye Zhuozhuo slightly frowned, he truly couldn''t think of anything he wanted, "I don''t want to, I''m just accompanying my big brother here."


    "You came with your brother?" Mu Lingxi turned his head, and his gaze landed on Helian Yunqian, "Yun Qian, since when did this auction come into your eyes?"


    He remembered that Yun Qian had never cared about places like the auction like the one before. He had only occasionally come here to accompany them, yet he had actually taken the initiative to come here today?


    "You don''t have any other purpose, do you?" Mu Lingxi immediately thought of something and asked.


    "Other than buying things, what other reason could he have for coming to the Auction House?" Helian Yunqian''s tone did not sound shocked at all, as if she was pretending to be stupid.


    Mu Lingxi didn''t quite believe him: "I don''t believe that you''re just here to buy something. Brilliant, quickly tell me, did your brother have his eyes on some girl?"


    He was very curious in his heart, just which girl was able to melt this ten thousand year old ice mountain?


    "I don''t know. Don''t speak nonsense!" Ye Zhuozhuo immediately interrupted him and did not let him continue.


    "Prince, you seem to be very free." Helian Yunqian turned his head and looked at him, and deliberately said, "How about, I hand over the few high level missions that I have with me to you to do?"


    Hearing that, Mu Lingxi''s face changed, and he immediately shook his head: "... "I don''t think so. I still want to save more time to do this. This kind of mission is suitable for a lonely family like you to do!"


    Saying that, she intentionally went closer to Ye Zhuozhuo.


    One must know that every mission that Yun Qian gave him was more abnormal than the last. Even if he was able to complete it, he would most likely lose half his life in the end.


    But there was nothing he could do, the entire military might of the Dragon Seal Empire was all in his hands.


    "I feel that it suits you quite well." Helian Yunqian began to say "I won''t forgive you".


    "Brilliant, hurry up and help me talk. I can''t let your brother always give me such a perverted task!" Seeing that admitting defeat was useless, Mu Lingxi could only start pulling at the corner of Ye Zhuozhuo''s clothes, "Otherwise, who knows when you might never see me again."


    Seeing his pitiful look, Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but laugh, and joked on purpose: "No way, you have to help my brother, that way I can be at ease."


    Not only was he at ease with his brother, he was also at ease with him. Ye Zhuozhuo did not say these words directly out loud.


    Mu Lingxi sighed helplessly, feeling as though his heart had been struck hard. He could only say: "Sigh, alright, you siblings all have the same thoughts, I can''t win against you, okay!"


    The three of them chatted for a while, then the auction started. The host of the auction, was Master Lin Xian, and the atmosphere of the entire Auction House was instantly lively.


    "Milords, thank you all for coming to the capital to support our Auction House today. I hope that everyone will be able to obtain the items that they like today." Master Lin Xian gave a simple opening, and following that, the maid brought out the first item to be auctioned.


    "Today, the first treasure to be auctioned is the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, a of the middle stage!"


    Suddenly, a burst of sighs could be heard from within the Auction House. It was probably a little surprising, this was just the beginning, and it was actually the middle stage Spiritual Skill. One could imagine, that in this auction, items of Profound Rank and above would definitely appear!

 C21

    "Crippling Moon Art. Starting price, three hundred silver."


    "Three hundred and twenty!"


    "Three hundred and thirty taels!"


    "Three hundred and fifty!"


    There were quite a lot of bidders. They all felt like they were on fire.


    At this time, Mu An who was in the crowd suddenly spoke out, "Six hundred silver!"


    After this price was said, the whole place became quiet for a while. The families that were going to bid just now all shut their mouths, feeling that they could no longer continue bidding.


    Although six hundred taels of silver did not exceed their budget, it was still the beginning of the auction. If they had spent several hundred taels of silver from the start, they would not have been able to compete for the more powerful treasures.


    "If no one raises the price, the Moon''s Destruction Art will be sold for six hundred silver taels!" Lin Xian decided with a single strike. In the end, it was six hundred silver.


    Mu An''s face revealed a proud smile.


    "The second treasure, Restoration Pills, intermediate Spiritual Ranked and spiritual herbs!"


    Following that, a few Spiritual Ranked Intermediate level treasures were auctioned off by the powerful families. Those ordinary families that did not have enough money were all waiting for something more useful to appear in the future.


    "The next treasure, Ling Ling Dan, is a high grade Spiritual Ranked poison, for use by Spirit Body Realm Spirit Master to raise their cultivation. Starting price, five hundred silver!"


    When the Ling Ling Dan appeared, many people''s eyes enlarged, Su Jinxi immediately pulled on Su Yuanqing''s sleeves, indicating for him to go and bid for the Ling Ling Dan.


    "Father, I need this Ling Ling Dan, please help me bid for it!"


    Su Yuanqing sighed helplessly, but it was all for his daughter''s sake, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bid: "Five hundred and fifty silver!"


    "Six hundred silver!" Immediately, someone followed along.


    "Six hundred and fifty!"


    "Seven hundred silver!"


    Seeing that the price was getting higher and higher, Su Jinxi was extremely anxious in his heart, as he was afraid that the Ling Ling Dan would be taken away.


    She had already stayed in the Spirit Body Realm for more than a year and had not shown any signs of breaking through. This Ling Ling Dan could be said to be her only hope for a breakthrough.


    "Hai." Su Yuanqing sighed helplessly, knowing that this was his last chance, he steeled his heart and increased the bid, "Eight hundred silver!"


    The entire audience sighed. Although Ling Ling Dan were rare and precious, eight hundred silver was indeed a little high. If they continued to follow up the price, then the other treasures might not be able to compete with them.


    If it were not for Su Jinxi, Su Yuanqing would not have given up and wholeheartedly wanted to bid for the Ling Ling Dan.


    If Su Jinxi became the, it would give them a lot of face.


    "Eight hundred silver once!"


    "Eight hundred silver twice!"


    Just as the Ling Ling Dan was about to be sold, a lazy voice came from the VIP pavilion: "One thousand and two hundred liang."


    Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice in shock. It turned out to be General''S Estate.


    The voice was calm, as if taking out twelve hundred silver taels was not painful at all for him.


    "Yun Qian, are you crazy? What do you want this Ling Ling Dan for?" Mu Lingxi reminded him quietly from the side, as if he had thought that Yun Che''s brain was flooded.


    This Ling Ling Dan was used to break through from the Spirit Body realm to the Spirit Master, why would he come?


    "Brother, we don''t need this, right?" Ye Zhuozhuo was also confused, he did not understand his brother''s intentions.


    Helian Yunqian''s tone was indifferent, as if there was nothing to be said. "Just for fun."


    To be photographed for fun? These four words left the two of them at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. Did he have to spend 1,200 taels of silver to play with something he didn''t need?


    Su Yuanqing sat in his original position, his expression changing. In that moment, he felt embarrassed.


    Prime Minister''S Estate and General''S Estate had always been the two largest families in the capital, and had always fought openly and secretly, even though they were strong. His Prime Minister''S Estate was lacking by a bit, but Su Yuanqing was unwilling to be outdone, so he wanted to fight for a position.


    Furthermore, this Ling Ling Dan was indeed the poison that Sumire needed. If he missed this opportunity, the next time he wanted to obtain it would be in vain.


    Thus, Su Yuanqing threw caution to the wind, "One thousand and five hundred gold!"


    1500 taels of silver was already so high, he shouldn''t be suppressed any further, right?


    In an instant, Su Yuanqing felt a sense of pride in his heart.


    "He actually dares to challenge us." Seeing Su Yuanqing call out the price, Mu Lingxi was immediately unhappy in his heart, "Yun Qian, quick, call out 2000 gold!"


    Even if they didn''t need this item, they couldn''t let a small Prime Minister''S Estate suppress their limelight.


    "No need." Helian Yunqian smiled noncommittally, in his heart, he was already satisfied with the price.


    "No need?" Ye Zhuozhuo was confused at first, but then he immediately understood his brother''s intentions. "Brother, are you deliberately raising the price?"


    "1500 taels three times, the Ling Ling Dan is sold, congratulations to Lord Su!"


    In the end, the Ling Ling Dan was sold for one thousand and five hundred silver.


    Su Jinxi''s face revealed some excitement, but he was not happy at all.


    Although he had obtained the Ling Ling Dan, he had paid a heavy price.


    "You''re really amazing." Mu Lingxi could not help but be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.


    He was wondering why this guy would suddenly bid for something he didn''t need. It was just to raise the price.


    Previously, Su Jinxi had some grudge with Brilliant Blaze, so he probably did it for the sake of Brilliance!


    Immediately, the three of them felt a sense of elation.


    Su Xiruo was also surprised to see his Ling Ling Dan sold for such a high price.


    "Master, why do I feel like just now, General Helian was deliberately raising the price to help us?" Qing Yuan whispered into Su Xiruo''s ear.


    "Who knows? Maybe it''s to vent some of our anger for Radiant." Su Xiruo on the other hand, had an indifferent face.


    In any case, he was the beneficiary, and he didn''t lose anything, so there was no need to care so much about it.


    As for Su Yuanqing and Su Jinxi, she thought that they would regret it right away.


    Sure enough, following that, Lin Xian started to announce the next treasure: "The next treasures, four Ling Ling Dan s, starting price, two thousand gold!"


    When Su Yuanqing and Su Jinxi saw the four Ling Ling Dan s, their faces instantly turned green, and felt that they had been deceived.


    They thought that the auction would only have one Ling Ling Dan, but unexpectedly, they took out four.


    They had auctioned off one Ling Ling Dan for one thousand and five hundred gold, but the starting price for these four pellets was only two thousand!


    For a moment, Su Yuanqing felt that he had lost something.


    "What''s with this Auction House? There''s actually so many Ling Ling Dan? Why didn''t they tell us beforehand!" Su Jinxi was extremely unbalanced in her heart, but she knew that it was impossible to return the goods to her now.


    "Ai, like I said, don''t be so anxious. You just have to keep urging me on. Is this good enough?" Su Yuanqing vented all of the anger and frustration in his heart onto Su Jinxi in an instant.


    "I didn''t know it would be like this." Su Jinxi bit his lower lip and spoke in an extremely quiet voice.


    "Alright, let''s not talk about that anymore. If there''s something rarer, I''m afraid I won''t have that much money to fight for it!" Su Yuanqing was so angry that he almost couldn''t speak.


    Su Jinxi curled his fingers tightly and sat on the side with an unhappy expression. Looking at the four Ling Ling Dan s, he felt even more unbalanced when they finally bid 3,600 silver.


    "The next treasure, Intermediate Profound Rank Poison, Spirit Dispersal Water, will be used to suppress the Spiritual Strength for a short period of time. Starting price, one thousand silver taels!"


    The appearance of the first item with Profound Rank attracted everyone''s attention. Moreover, it was a precious poison.


    "1100 taels!"


    "One thousand two hundred taels!"


    "One thousand and five hundred!"


    The price kept rising until it was finally bought by an outsider power for 3,000 silver.


    "Miss, I suddenly feel that we''ve struck it rich!" Qing Yuan seemed to be a little excited.


    All these items that had been sold had at least ten thousand taels of silver. Ten thousand taels of silver could be said to be a huge amount!

 C22

    Su Xiruo appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually quite excited inside. After all, this price was outside her expectations.


    Previously when she auctioned off the Ling Ling Dan''s silver taels, she did not have much left over from the medicinal ingredients. However, she still had enough silver taels, so she could properly compete with the Flood Dragon Herba!


    "The next treasure, the highest quality medicine of the fifth step, the Flood Dragon Herba!"


    Upon mentioning the Flood Dragon Herba, Su Xiruo''s entire being became spirited, focusing entirely on it.


    This Flood Dragon Herba was her goal for today.


    "Flood Dragon Herba, starting bid, nine hundred silver!"


    This starting price was not that high, but this Flood Dragon Herba was a negative type of herb. Normally, it was used to make poisons, its rarity was evident.


    "One thousand taels!"


    "1100 taels!"


    "One thousand two hundred taels!"


    There were still a lot of people competing for the Flood Dragon Herba. After all, it was a top-notch herb that many Poison Master would only ask for, and even if there was money to buy it, it would be extremely difficult.


    When the price slowly rose to three thousand gold, Su Xiruo thought to himself that it was about time he made his move.


    "Four thousand." Therefore, Su Xiruo spoke coldly, lowered his voice, and sounded a little low.


    Everyone''s attention turned to Su Xiruo one by one. After all, for an unknown brat to be able to take out four thousand silver taels, he must not be simple at all.


    "Who is he?" Mu Lingxi was a little curious, "In this capital, I seem to have never seen such a character, to actually be able to take out four thousand silver taels in one go!"


    "Perhaps, he is from outside the city." Ye Zhuozhuo was also somewhat shocked.


    Helian Yunqian did not say anything as he followed along and raised the bid, "Five thousand gold!"


    An increase of one thousand taels of silver in one go was something an ordinary clan wouldn''t dare to think about. In an instant, the other clans didn''t even dare to make a sound.


    Although the herbs of the fifth step were precious, it was not worth it to spend five thousand silvers to bid on them.


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly. In the face of the other party''s bid, he was still a little uncertain.


    What exactly did Helian Yunqian mean by that? He clearly didn''t need the medicinal ingredients, was it because he recognized her and wanted to make life difficult for her?


    Forget it. I''ll bet once more. After all, if I want to obtain it in the future, it will be even more difficult.


    "Six thousand!" Therefore, Su Xiruo called out a bid, he was not willing to be outdone.


    "Eight thousand." Helian Yunqian''s voice was soft and gentle, as if eight thousand silver was nothing to him.


    The moment these three words came out, even Lin Xian''s expression darkened, and he was somewhat at a loss of what to do.


    Their Auction House had originally been discussed with Young Master Yun Xi for him to bid for the Flood Dragon Herba, but now, someone had appeared out of nowhere with a sky-high price, and it was someone they couldn''t afford to offend.


    This time, he was going to offend someone no matter what.


    "Miss, he''s purposely making life difficult for us!" Qing Yuan seemed to be angry, thinking that Helian Yunqian was purposely provoking him, "What do we do, I''m afraid our remaining silver is not even worth eight thousand gold."


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly and sighed: "Whatever, since he wants to compete with me, then just let him be the big shot!"


    Right now, she really couldn''t afford to take out eight thousand silver. Furthermore, she was sure that if she continued to raise the price, Helian Yunqian would definitely not forgive her.


    He was obviously causing trouble!


    Forget it, let him have the Flood Dragon Herba for now. He will think of a way to take it back from him later!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo did not speak further, indicating that he had given up on the Flood Dragon Herba.


    "If no one bids anymore, then this Flood Dragon Herba ¡­ Eight thousand silver taels, sold! " When Lin Xian spoke, he was also very helpless. He knew that he had probably offended a Profound Rank Poison Master.


    But General Helian was also someone he could not afford to offend. With him stuck in the middle, he really did not know how to conduct himself. No matter who he helped, he would offend another person.


    "Brother, eight thousand silver taels, have you thought about it?" Even Ye Zhuozhuo felt that he had lost out on the price, "If you really want this Flood Dragon Herba, how about we think of another way?"


    "No, I just want this." The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile as if he had thought of something.


    Mu Lingxi helplessly shook his head: "Brilliant, don''t persuade him. He''s always been this wasteful!"


    After spending eight thousand silver to buy a stalk of medicinal plant, only this guy could do such a perverted thing.


    After a wave of excitement from the Flood Dragon Herba, the final treasure also made its appearance.


    A few guards brought over the final item. Lin Xian carefully opened it and said: "The last item, which is also the final item today, the high level Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact, the Purple Moon Fan, is extremely suitable for women to use. It is also extremely useful for increasing the number of Spiritual Strength s!"


    "Starting bid, three thousand five hundred silver taels!"


    Everyone looked at the Spiritual Artifact that was glowing with a purple light, their eyes were all opened, Su Jinxi''s eyes were wide open, filled with desire.


    As for Su Biyue, who was seated at the side, his expression also changed slightly.


    The thing she wanted had finally arrived today!


    "Miss, should we fight for this Violet Moon Fan?" Qing Yuan asked gently.


    "No need." Su Xiruo''s current mood was already very bad. Even if Heavenly Ranked and Spiritual Artifact were placed in front of her, she would probably not be able to arouse any interest.


    "Alright then." Qing Yuan could only nod his head, feeling a bit depressed in his heart.


    "There''s actually a Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact." Ye Zhuozhuo casually said.


    Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by Mu Lingxi, "So what if you''re a Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact. When we get back, I''ll send you a pile of them."


    "Sure." Ye Zhuozhuo readily agreed.


    Although the Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact was very precious, she had grown up in the General''S Estate since she was young. Her brother and the Duke had always been by her side when she was young, so she had long since gotten used to seeing such things.


    But Su Jinxi immediately could not hold it back anymore, tugged on Su Yuanqing''s sleeves and pleaded: "Father, this kind of good thing is extremely rare, let''s fight for it!"


    It had to be known that Su Yuanqing himself only used the middle level Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact s, so he should fight for this high level Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact!


    Thus, even though he had just lost money, Su Yuanqing steeled his heart and shouted a price: "Four thousand gold!"


    Su Yiyun immediately followed up the price, "Five thousand gold!"


    The two of them looked at each other with a hint of disdain in their eyes.


    "Six thousand!" Su Yuanqing knew that he would have to fight with Su Yiyun today.


    Su Biyue was also very nervous in her heart. After all, this purple moon fan was something she wanted as well.


    "Father, we can''t lose to the Su Clan." Su Biyue whispered into Su Yiyun''s ear.


    Su Yiyun nodded: "Daughter, don''t worry, Daddy will definitely help you win this purple moon fan!"


    Following that, Su Yiyun continued to bid: "Seven thousand gold!"


    Su Yuanqing''s fingers were curled tightly together as cold sweat dripped down his back. One must know that for him, seven thousand silver would probably take him two years to earn.


    "Father." Su Jinxi was close to tears, and could not help but say to Su Biyue, "Sister Su, is there a need to compete with my family?"


    They had already paid one thousand and five hundred silver taels just now. This way, it would have a certain effect on the Purple Moon Fan''s certificate.


    Su Biyue looked innocent as he said, "Little Sister Pang Xi, I didn''t mean to make trouble for you, didn''t we all depend on our own abilities?"


    Su Jinxi became anxious and knelt in front of Su Yuanqing: "Father, I''m begging you. This time, you must help me!"


    Su Yuanqing let out a helpless sigh, barely able to raise the price.


    Just now, both of them had increased the price by a thousand gold, but this time, it was only by five hundred. Obviously, Su Yuanqing felt a little guilty.


    7500 taels was really not a small amount. If it wasn''t for his sake, he wouldn''t even want to compete anymore.

 C23

    Su Yiyun coldly snorted, steeled his heart and spoke: "Eight thousand gold!"


    Those small clans with insufficient funds didn''t dare speak anymore at this moment. The eight thousand silver was practically the capital of a small clan.


    "Su Yiyun, you!" Su Yuanqing turned his head and shot Su Yiyun a glare.


    "Su Yuanqing, that''s enough. If you continue, neither of us will be able to take it." Su Yiyun was also pained, "You just got the Ling Ling Dan, so you let me give you this purple moon fan, okay?"


    Su Yuanqing was slightly moved by his words. Indeed, currently, Su Yuanqing did not have much money on him, even if he used all his strength to increase the price, he would still not be a match for Su Family.


    After all, Su Family''s business market was better than theirs.


    "Father, we can''t give up. We can''t give up!" Seeing that his father was shaken, Su Jinxi immediately advised, "This is a high levelled Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact!"


    Su Yuanqing shook his head and gently waved his hand: "Whatever, Summon Yin, just forget about it this time. You probably won''t be able to control such a high level Spiritual Artifact."


    If this Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact could be used by Su Yuanqing, Su Yuanqing would definitely be willing to try again, but if it was only bought for Su Jinxi, then he felt that it was not worth it.


    "Exactly!" Su Yiyun also agreed, "Sumire Xi, our family''s Bi Yue has a much higher strength than you. This Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact, it''s better to give it to our family''s Bi Yue!"


    Receiving praise, Su Biyue secretly revealed a smile that he could not restrain, but Su Jinxi was about to explode in anger.


    Her strength was indeed not as strong as Su Biyue''s, but it was truly too humiliating for her to be said out like this in front of so many people.


    "Father!" Su Jinxi still wanted to fight for himself in the end.


    "Alright, alright, stop talking!" After comparing it, Su Yuanqing felt embarrassed, "Let''s talk about it when your strength increases!"


    Thus, this purple moon fan was ultimately slapped down by Su Yiyun. Even though he had paid a large price, in the end, he was still willing.


    When the auction ended, Su Jinxi left with a depressed expression. Not far away, he saw Su Biyue standing there, happily holding the purple moon fan, with many spectators watching by his side. They all looked at Su Biyue with envious eyes.


    "Big Sister Bi Yue, this Violet Moon Fan is simply tailored for you!"


    "Yeah, only Big Sister Bi Yue''s strength is worthy of such a strong Spiritual Artifact!"


    When the voices entered Su Jinxi''s ears, it made him extremely frustrated.


    In that moment, Su Jinxi''s anger reached his heart, and he immediately charged into the crowd, raising his hand to slap Su Biyue: "Su Biyue, you''re done!"


    Su Biyue was startled for a moment, he raised his hands to cover his swollen face, revealing a harmless expression, he asked in an aggrieved tone: "Little Sister Pang Xi, what''s wrong with you? I don''t seem to have done anything to let you down, right?"


    "Don''t talk to me like that!" Su Jinxi pointed at her, and instantly vented all of the anger in his heart. "This Violet Moon Fan, it''s obvious that I''m determined to get it, but you refused to let me go, and insisted on going against me!"


    And at this time, Ye Zhuozhuo and the other two happened to pass by, Mu Lingxi laughed: "Brilliant, Yun Qian, I''m here to watch a dog bite a dog!"


    Because there were a lot of people watching, Su Biyue was angry but did not dare say anything. He could only continue to act pitifully as tears were flowing down his cheeks, "Little sister Pang Xi, I''m sorry, I really don''t know, you wanted to offend this Spiritual Artifact. Why don''t I give it back to you now?"


    Once he said that, the surrounding observers all started to sympathize with Su Biyue.


    "Everyone is here by their own means, Miss Su, isn''t it too much for you to treat Miss Su like this?"


    "That''s right. You can''t get angry from embarrassment just because you didn''t win the bid, right!"


    "Besides, Miss Su is much stronger."


    The discussions were extremely ear-piercing, Su Jinxi immediately felt that he had lost a lot of face.


    "Shut up, stop talking!"


    Su Jinxi covered his ears, and wished that he could find a hole to hide in. He had originally wanted to teach Su Biyue a lesson and vent his anger, but he did not consider the consequences.


    On the surface, Su Biyue looked afraid, but in his heart, he was ridiculing Su Jinxi.


    Heh, a brainless woman still wants to fight with me?


    "Sumire!" At this time, Su Yuanqing pushed through the crowd and pulled at Su Jinxi''s clothes, "Do you not think that it is shameful enough? "Come with me!"


    He felt that his face was about to be completely thrown away by this woman.


    Although he was extremely unwilling, Su Jinxi could only follow his father and leave.


    "Sigh, this woman is really brainless. How did she survive?" When Mu Lingxi finished watching the commotion, he could not help but shake his head, "I think even Mu An thinks that his fiancee is a disgrace, don''t you think?"


    "Heh, in my opinion, Mu An and Su Jinxi are not good people. Ye Zhuozhuo didn''t sympathize with anyone.


    As the two of them chatted and laughed along the way, Mu Lingxi took the initiative to suggest, "It''s rare for the three of us to meet together today, how about we gather at my Duke Palace?"


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian slightly nodded his head, "Bring Brilliant Light to the Duke Palaces to gather. I''ll pick her up in a while."


    "Brother, where are you going?" Ye Zhuozhuo was more concerned about this.


    "Here you all are ¡­" "Give me some space." Helian Yunqian thoughtfully replied.


    "Brother, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Ye Zhuozhuo lowered her head, her cheeks sweeping with a faint blush. Although she refused to admit it, she was actually quite happy in her heart.


    As for Mu Lingxi, he went a little closer to Ye Zhuozhuo. "Alright, Brilliant, let''s go. Let''s not let this lonely family disturb us."


    Saying that, the two of them left happily. Helian Yunqian shook his head helplessly, as if he was already used to being ''stimulated'' like this.


    And at this time, the Auction House s had almost all dispersed. Just as Helian Yunqian was about to leave, he was stopped by a rather cold voice.


    "Helian Yunqian!"


    He turned his head, only to see Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan both dressed in male clothing, with even a half-mask on their faces, they had appeared in front of him.


    Even though he was extremely careful with their dressing, he was still able to recognize them in one glance.


    "Why did the Miss Su call me?" Helian Yunqian didn''t hide anything and immediately exposed her true identity.


    Su Xiruo was startled, he knew that such a small trick like his would not work in front of him, so he simply took off his mask, and looked him straight in the eye with his clear eyes, without any fear.


    "Give me a condition." Su Xiruo said coldly.


    "What condition?" He began to feign ignorance.


    "What do I need to do so that you will give the Flood Dragon Herba to me?" Su Xiruo was too lazy to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point.


    Helian Yunqian did not deny it and smiled: "Since Miss Su wants it, then we should just spend a lot of money on it. Why did you need to negotiate with me?"


    Su Xiruo was stunned by his words, and became a little angry: "I know, you did this on purpose, and purposely offended me. If it was because I saw something that I shouldn''t have seen back at General''S Estate, then I can guarantee that I won''t leak this matter out."


    "It looks like Miss Su''s memory isn''t bad." Helian Yunqian remained calm.


    Su Xiruo immediately expressed his own attitude: "I did not intentionally offend you last time, so I can apologize to you. Today, I really need this Flood Dragon Herba, so you can give me whatever conditions I want, and as long as I can make it, I''ll definitely agree to it!"


    Her tone became much more sincere, but her heart was somewhat flustered.


    Because she had always felt that this man was unfathomable and his goal was not simple.


    "Promise me anything you can do?" Helian Yunqian casually asked.


    "That''s right!" For the sake of this medicine, Su Xiruo was willing to give it his all.


    "Then ¡­" Helian Yunqian moved closer and slowly lowered his head. His exquisite face was only an inch away from Su Xiruo.

 C24

    The devilish voice sounded slightly bewitching.


    Su Xiruo subconsciously retreated a little, and coldly asked: "Are you joking?"


    Was this fellow intentionally trying to tease him? Thinking of this, Su Xiruo became even angrier.


    Just what did he mean? Was he holding a grudge till now just because he saw his Real Body?


    "This general never jokes." Helian Yunqian''s ink-black eyes slightly perked up, and his ice face, which had never changed for ten thousand years, actually revealed a trace of a smile.


    Hearing that, Su Xiruo became even more confused, and immediately became angry, but still wanted to maintain his image: "Apologies, General Helian, my status is low, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to get you to do anything, you should at least raise some other requests."


    This was probably the third time she had met with him. Furthermore, they had not spoken much to each other the previous two times they had met.


    The third time they met, he was going to let her repay him with her body. This was something that would frighten anyone.


    Helian Yunqian had a rough idea that the words he had said just now were too straightforward. It would be difficult to take them back now.


    Seeing that he did not say anything, Su Xiruo took the initiative to suggest: "How about this, this Flood Dragon Herba, you spent eight thousand silver for it, I do not have that much silver right now, give me a few days time, I will raise nine thousand silver to buy your Flood Dragon Herba."


    "Is this grass really that important to you?" Helian Yunqian took out the Flood Dragon Herba s from the Storage Ring s. Looking around, he still did not see anything special about this herb.


    It was only a single Rank 5 medicinal herb, yet she was so determined to obtain it.


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo sighed slightly, and his tone became sincere, "I want to use this Flood Dragon Herba to treat my grandmother''s illness, so, this medicine is very important to me. General Helian, if you don''t have any use for this Flood Dragon Herba, you can sell it to me, I really need it!"


    With such a sincere tone, he shouldn''t have a heart of stone, right?


    Helian Yunqian''s clear eyes looked at her, and instead started to become arrogant and spoiled: "Alright, I can give you a chance, and if you can get it, it will be yours!"


    Su Xiruo would naturally not let go of such an opportunity and snatched it when she was caught off guard. She originally thought that she would make her move very quickly, but who knew, she would simply not be able to touch his body.


    Unwilling to give up, she calmed herself down, and the Spiritual Strength in her palm condensed and fiercely attacked his face, with her other hand quickly pulling out the Can Meng, she lightly cut across, aiming straight for his neck.


    The moment he made his move, Qing Yuan did not even seem to react. He only knew that the young miss had taken action for real.


    But in the next second, Helian Yunqian grabbed the wrist where she was holding the dagger, and pulled back gently. His other hand took the opportunity to wrap around her waist, pulling Su Xiruo''s entire body into his embrace.


    With his back facing her, Su Xiruo was actually able to feel her close proximity. In her heart, she was angry and angry at the same time, feeling like she had been tricked by this fellow once again.


    "Miss Su sure is ruthless." His deep voice actually sounded somewhat doting.


    "I''m not playing anymore, I''m not playing anymore!" Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, and threw off his hand, as if she was mad and planned to leave.


    "Please wait, Miss Su." Helian Yunqian thought that she was truly angry, and just as she caught up to him, Su Xiruo turned around and spilled a few Poison Miasma s on her.


    That speed was extremely fast, and coupled with the fact that he did not have any defenses in place, he felt that his four limbs had become weak, making it difficult for him to move.


    ''This girl, she really has a lot of courage. How dare she poison me?! ''


    Su Xiruo immediately brightened up and snatched the Flood Dragon Herba from his hands. "General Helian, I''m sorry.


    Although she used a rather ''despicable'' method, she was still forced into a corner. Who told this guy to go against her?


    Even if she wasn''t his opponent, she had to let him know that she wasn''t one to be trifled with!


    Helian Yunqian laughed helplessly, he did not feel angry at all, but instead admired the little girl.


    He probably did not expect that one day, he would actually fall at the hands of someone with weak Heavenly Spirit Master.


    "Fine, you win." He spoke indifferently, after finishing his sentence, Su Xiruo saw his four limbs move.


    "You ¡­ How can you move so quickly? " Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, and was immediately shocked.


    Su Xiruo immediately kept the Flood Dragon Herba, afraid that he would steal it again.


    The Poison Miasma that he had just used was a high-grade Profound Rank poison. If an ordinary person were to use this Poison Miasma, they would definitely die from the poison within four hours.


    She had originally thought that since this guy was powerful, the Poison Miasma could at most restrict his movements for an hour. However, this way, she would have more than enough time to snatch the Flood Dragon Herba.


    Unexpectedly, in just two minutes, he seemed to be fine?


    It seemed that he had still underestimated this fellow''s strength.


    Even high level Profound Rank poison was useless against him, is he a monster?


    "Don''t worry, this general has always kept his word. Since you have obtained it, the Flood Dragon Herba will belong to you." Helian Yunqian did not seem to have any intentions of fighting.


    Su Xiruo was startled, he suddenly became so courteous to him, but he felt that he was not used to it.


    "I won''t let you suffer a loss." Su Xiruo still did not want to owe him this favor, "In a few days, I will have someone gift you 9000 silver, treat it as me buying this Flood Dragon Herba from you."


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo was at a loss. If this Flood Dragon Herba was so unimportant to him, then why would he spend so much money to buy it?


    "No need." Helian Yunqian rejected indifferently, "Miss Su doesn''t need to be so courteous to me in the future."


    Therefore, he turned around and glanced at Qing Yuan, and instructed: "Qing Yuan, you can leave for a moment, I have something to say to General Helian alone."


    "Yes." Qing Yuan left tactfully.


    Only after Qing Yuan left did Su Xiruo open his heart. "General Helian, I know ¡­ Last time at the General''S Estate, I saw your Real Body. You have always kept this matter in your heart, so tell me now, what exactly do you want to do so that you can believe me.


    She had a premonition that if this matter wasn''t resolved properly, she would only be entangled with him in the future. She didn''t know how he would monitor her.


    Rather than pestering her, it would be better to just get to know her!


    Helian Yunqian lightly stepped forward as he neared. His indifferent eyes revealed a bit of clarity as he spoke with a slightly magnetic voice: "Our Orc Clan provides that Real Body s cannot be seen in front of humans. If humans see them, then we can only, promise ourselves."


    The words'' betrothal ''sounded light, but it made her legs go weak.


    "Huh?" Su Xiruo was shocked by his words, thinking, why have I not heard of it before, does Orc Clan have such a rule?


    She didn''t want to marry herself without knowing why.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo could only stammer out, "That day... It''s just a misunderstanding. I can guarantee that you won''t tell anyone. As for what you''re talking about ¡­ I think it''s better not to. I... I still have things to do, so I''ll be going back first! "


    Hurry up and run, or else this guy will really blame me. Su Xiruo left those words behind and left without looking back.


    Helian Yunqian looked at her back, and did not chase after her, but he secretly made his decision in his heart, he would definitely take this woman!


    Suddenly, his gaze landed on the items on the ground, and picked up the dagger up, he could faintly feel the Spiritual Strength around the dagger.


    The long finger bone gently pulled out the dagger. On the surface of the dagger, the words "Can Meng" were engraved, and the words were not clear.


    "Can Meng." His icy lips slightly opened as he lightly repeated these two words.


    Weird, she is clearly just a Common Stage High Rank Spiritual Artifact, why does he feel that there is a strange Spiritual Strength inside this Spiritual Artifact, it was like a bottomless black hole, even he could not see through it.


    He wanted to return the dagger, but he discovered that he had already disappeared from his sight.


    Forget it, since she was in such a hurry to leave, she could only wait for the next time and personally come to get it.

 C25

    Prime Minister''S Estate.


    The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense. Su Yuanqing sat in the right seat, and while Su Jinxi was kneeling, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.


    "Father, I didn''t do anything wrong." Su Jinxi curled his lips, and tried his best to explain.


    "Hmph, do you still want to argue for yourself?" Su Yuanqing slapped the table and stood up, he was extremely furious, "Today you told me to bring you along with me to Auction House, then I''ll satisfy you, and I''ll also help you bid for the Ling Ling Dan. Who knew that you would do such a disgraceful thing, that even my face would be thrown away by you!"


    Su Jinxi curled his fingers tightly, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart. "I am just dissatisfied with seeing that hypocritical Su Biyue, I just want to teach her a lesson!"


    "You want to teach her a lesson?" Su Yuanqing scoffed, and felt that what she said sounded somewhat funny, "I don''t know how much stronger she is compared to you, but if she really takes action, do you think you should teach her a lesson?"


    "Father, even you feel that I''m not as good as Su Biyue, right?" Su Jinxi was extremely angry, but he had to admit this fact.


    Indeed, compared to Su Biyue, her strength and talent were far worse. Just because of this matter, her father had always felt disgraced.


    "Master." The Mrs Zhang at the side couldn''t help but speak up for her daughter, "Ah, no one can blame Summoning Xi. She is already extremely hardworking in her cultivation, how can you compare her to that with the best talent? This is unfair! "


    "Enough, stop talking!" Su Yuanqing waved his hand, calming himself down a little, "Qianxi, continue to meditate and focus on your cultivation, don''t give me any more trouble!"


    "Yes." Su Jinxi unwillingly agreed, but just as he got up, he saw a Domestic Servant entering.


    "Master, Prince Anxian is here to visit."


    Hearing the three words "Prince Anxian," Su Yuanqing was still rather happy in his heart: "Then why didn''t you come in?"


    "Prince Anxian is here. He must be here to see me." Su Jinxi immediately smiled, lowered her head and muttered.


    Speaking of which, she had not seen the Prince Anxian in a while and only met him at the auction today. She did not expect that he was still worried about her.


    After a while, Mu An invited him into the main hall, and Su Yuanqing quickly got up to welcome him: "Greetings and welcome, Prince Anxian."


    "The Prime Minister is too courteous." Mu An was not the least bit courteous as he found a seat and sat down. After looking around, he casually said, "I just happened to bump into Pang Xi at the auction today, so I wanted to come over to take a look."


    "It''s really a good fortune for you to be thinking about our family." Mrs Zhang was also extremely happy.


    "Since that''s the case, then you should talk to Qixi first. We won''t disturb you any longer." Su Yuanqing also had eyes, he gave Mrs Zhang a look, and the two of them quickly left.


    At this time, only Mu An and Su Jinxi were left in the hall. Su Jinxi gently tidied his own hair, feeling a little nervous.


    "Prince Anxian, I haven''t seen you for a long time, I really miss you." Su Jinxi laughed, with a gentle voice, he walked up to Mu An and poured him a cup of tea.


    "Mm, I''ve been rather busy recently, so I haven''t had the time to come visit you." Mu An''s eyes drifted erratically, in short, it was not on Su Jinxi.


    "It doesn''t matter, as long as the duke cares about me." Hearing him say that, Su Jinxi was still quite happy, so she started to indirectly introduce the topic, "Right, Prince Anxian, our marriage has been going on for a year."


    "Yes." He only answered with one word.


    Su Jinxi took the opportunity to suggest, "Now, my feelings towards a duke is also becoming stronger and stronger, so I don''t know ¡­ The Duke intends to set a date for our marriage? "


    This was what she was most concerned about right now.


    "We''ll see." Mu An said in a perfunctory manner, and then asked: "Oh yes, where''s your sister?"


    The moment those words left his mouth, the smile on Su Jinxi''s face froze at the corner of his lips, and in that moment, he didn''t even know how to reply.


    "Duke, why are you asking my sister?" Su Jinxi was a little unhappy in her heart as she intentionally used a coquettish tone to speak, "Now, I am your fiancee."


    Mu An nodded indifferently: "Nothing, I was just casually asking. Tell me, is she at home?"


    "She''s not here." Therefore, Su Jinxi could only casually answer, as though he was unwilling to let Mu An find him.


    She just could not understand, what was so good about Su Xiruo that was worthy for Prince Anxian to look back on for her again and again?


    "She went out?" Mu An asked while stroking the vines.


    Originally, the reason he went to Auction House today was to bump into Su Xiruo. In the end, he didn''t even see him, which made him a little unwilling, which was why he came to Prime Minister''S Estate.


    However, he actually didn''t see anyone within the Prime Minister''S Estate, which made him miss her even more.


    Weird, why didn''t he see it before when he and Su Xiruo had yet to cancel the engagement, that woman was still pretty cute.


    "He probably left already. As for where he went, I don''t know either." Su Jinxi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, as though he didn''t want to bring up the three words'' Su Xiruo ''at all.


    "Fine." With that, Mu An completely gave up. He slowly stood up and looked a little disappointed, "You should rest up, it''s time for me to go back."


    "Prince Anxian, why did you leave so quickly?" Su Jinxi was a little anxious, he immediately went forward and hugged Prince Anxian from behind, wanting to urge him to stay, "You will stay, will you accompany me for a while?"


    He did not know why, but Mu An''s heart was inexplicably agitated. He was becoming more and more uninterested in this woman, so he opened Su Jinxi''s hands and said impatiently: "I still have things to take care of, can''t you understand something?"


    When Su Jinxi heard his displeasure, she could only let go of his hand and said unwillingly: "Then ¡­ Prince Anxian, let me send you away. "


    "No need." Mu An did not even bother to give her another glance as he quickly left the hall.


    Su Jinxi was so angry that he started stomping his feet, "Damn it, it must be that woman, Su Xiruo, who has wrenched the soul of the Prince Anxian out of her body!"


    Mu An didn''t see Su Xiruo and was filled with disappointment. He planned to leave the Prime Minister''S Estate s but met Su Xiruo halfway through with the intention to deliver medicine to the Old Mistress.


    "Su Xiruo!" Mu An saw the situation, and quickly went over, "I thought you really went out, but who would have thought, Su Jinxi was lying to me."


    Su Xiruo didn''t even bother to spare him a glance: "Prince Anxian is here, you shouldn''t be looking for me, right? Go find your fiancee! "


    "Why are you looking for her? I don''t have any interest in her anymore." Mu An approached closer, wanting to express goodwill towards Su Xiruo, "Xiruo, why didn''t you go to today''s auction? I still want to take a good look at you."


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. Towards this form of address, he already started to feel disgusted, not wanting to waste any more time on this bored person, he decided to leave without saying a word.


    "Xiruo, don''t go yet." Mu An became a little anxious and pulled the corner of Su Xiruo''s clothes. Her tone sounded sincere, "I used to let you down, but now I just want you to come back to me. We can let bygones be bygones. What do you say?"


    Su Xiruo flung his hand away and slapped his face with the back of his hand, coldly spitting out a word: "Scram!"


    She felt disgusted by talking more with this scumbag.


    Back then, when he was bullied by Su Jinxi and Su Man in various ways, why did he disappear? Now that he said these words, didn''t he feel that they were fake?


    In her heart, she had no illusions about this man anymore, to the point where she almost forgot his appearance. Therefore, the current Mu An was just like a clown to her.


    "Su Xiruo!" At this time, Su Jinxi''s voice came into his ears.


    She originally wanted to send Prince Anxian off, but when she saw the scene of the Prince Anxian confessing to Su Xiruo, her heart exploded.

 C26

    "Su Xiruo, you despicable woman who deceives other people''s fiance, I will kill you!"


    At this time, Su Jinxi no longer cared about his own image and angrily rushed forward. He raised his hand to slap Su Xiruo, but before he could do anything, his arm was grabbed by Mu An.


    "Enough!" Mu An impatiently swung his hand and directly knocked Su Jinxi to the ground.


    Su Jinxi looked at Mu An in disbelief. He couldn''t see any love in Mu An''s eyes, only indifference and cruelty.


    "Prince Anxian, don''t be bewitched by this woman. I am your fiancee." Su Jinxi cried, "Su Xiruo, what do you want, for you to let me go?"


    "You''re thinking too much." Su Xiruo felt her words were laughable, "I advise you to look favorably upon your fiance, don''t become an abandoned wife, you don''t even know it yet!"


    She deliberately used such a mocking tone, just to provoke Su Jinxi.


    She wanted to let Su Jinxi have a taste of this painful to the point where he wished that he was dead.


    "Su Xiruo, you bitch, I will kill you, I will kill you!" As if he had gone mad, Su Jinxi crawled up from the ground and was about to pinch Su Xiruo.


    Unexpectedly, she didn''t even have the chance to make a move, when she was slapped heavily by Mu An. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.


    "Su Jinxi, look at you, you''re just a shrew now!" Mu An pointed at Su Jinxi and looked at her, not in a good mood at all. "What do you look like now?"


    "Prince Anxian, didn''t I do this because I care too much about you?" Su Jinxi was unresigned in his heart, and felt that he did not do anything wrong.


    Mu An laughed disdainfully, "Heh, then let me tell you, not only will you not move me by doing this, it will also make me hate you more. I want to go back and request for the Emperor to cancel our engagement!"


    With that, Mu An planned to turn and leave. Upon hearing his words, Su Jinxi''s entire body became soft, he immediately went forward and hugged Mu An''s leg, not caring about his dignity anymore.


    "Prince Anxian, no, I beg you, don''t cancel our engagement. If you cancel it, how do you want me to live in the future?" Su Jinxi tried his best to plead with Mu An, hoping that he would still hold back on her.


    "Enough, don''t wander around in front of my eyes. I''m annoyed to see you right now!" Prince Anxian didn''t even want to look at her. After kicking her away, he left without looking back.


    "Prince Anxian, Prince Anxian!" No matter how Su Jinxi shouted, it seemed that it was useless. In the end, a gaze of hatred landed on Su Xiruo.


    Her tone made it seem as if she wanted to rip apart Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, tell me, what kind of ability did you use to cause Prince Anxian to be so infatuated with you?"


    Su Xiruo replied expressionlessly: "I think what you should be thinking is, why would Prince Anxian suddenly lose interest in you? In the end, you still haven''t retained the charm of a man!"


    She purposefully used this kind of extreme strike tone, so as to completely destroy Su Jinxi''s state of mind!


    "No, this is all thanks to you. It''s all your fault. You were the one who seized my love!" Su Jinxi shook his head, he still felt that all of this was Su Xiruo''s doing.


    Su Jinxi stood up, before he could even touch Su Xiruo, he was already being held captive by Qing Yuan.


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly, "Little sister, I remember that your father only granted you a special pardon for going to the Auction House. He has also gone now, so it is about time for you to continue pondering over this matter in front of the wall. Qing Yuan, bring the second young miss back, continue the confinement! "


    She did not give Su Jinxi the slightest bit of face.


    "Yes."


    "Su Xiruo, I will kill you, you despicable woman who destroys the feelings of others. There will be a day when you will pay the price!" Su Jinxi kept cursing, but he was still forced down the stairs by Qing Yuan.


    Su Xiruo reached out and gently rubbed his ears, calming down a little.


    But at this moment, she suddenly realized that the Can Meng in her sleeve had disappeared!


    Su Xiruo thought back carefully, just now when he was fighting with Helian Yunqian, he had even used a Can Meng, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?


    This dagger could very well have fallen when he was in too much of a hurry. It might very well be in that guy''s hand!


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo first gave the medicine to Old Mistress, and after exchanging a few words of greeting with him, he arrived at General''S Estate by himself.


    At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo had just returned to his General''S Estate, and his mood was very good. With Su Xiruo also here to visit, he was naturally overjoyed.


    "Ruo Ruo, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me? Is there something wrong?" Ye Zhuozhuo asked happily.


    "Yes, I have some matters to attend to, and I also came to see you." Su Xiruo did not keep them in suspense and went straight to the point, "Where''s your brother?"


    "My brother, he ¡­" "No, are you looking for him?" Ye Zhuozhuo paused for a while before replying.


    After his brother came back to pick him up, he went out and didn''t tell him where he had gone. Ruo Ruo had come at the wrong time.


    However, if a few came to look for her brother, the two of them didn''t seem to have any connections, right?


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded slightly, "I have something that he picked up, when will he return?"


    Ye Zhuozhuo gestured for her to sit down: "I don''t know when he will come back, he would disappear for a few days sometimes."


    Su Xiruo slightly sighed, "Fine, then I''ll come over again in a few days."


    "However ¡­" At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to have thought of something, "Ruo Ruo, if you are in a rush to take back your things, how about this, the Emperor''s birthday is tomorrow, a palace banquet will be set up, and at that time, my brother will also be there.


    "Feast at the palace ¡­" Su Xiruo thought and repeated himself.


    "That''s right." Ye Zhuozhuo still hoped that she would accompany him there, "Just accompany me to take a look, that way I won''t feel too bored. It''s just nice, you can also go to the palace to take a look."


    Actually, Ye Zhuozhuo had his own reasons for doing this.


    She wanted to unintentionally flirt with Su Xiruo and her brother. After all, she could feel that her brother''s feelings towards Ruo Ruo were different from when he felt towards other women.


    If she really did solve her brother''s life problem, she would be completely at ease.


    "Alright then." Su Xiruo nodded lightly and agreed.


    It would be better to just go, than to come face to face with Helian Yunqian alone. If he could explain this matter clearly in front of everyone, it would also be able to avoid a lot of misunderstandings.


    The two talked for a while before Su Xiruo returned to his Prime Minister''S Estate and continued to fry the medicine.


    "Miss, let me do it. You go eat something first." Qing Yuan brought the dishes in and placed it on the table, then went and took the work from Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo got up, and after working for the whole day, she was indeed a little hungry, she walked towards the table, and just as she picked up the chopsticks, she realised that there was something wrong with the delicate plate of pastries!


    Moreover, the kitchen usually didn''t have this kind of pastry. If one wanted it, one would have to instruct the kitchen to reproduce the pastry after the order was given.


    She put down her chopsticks and took a silver hairpin from her head. She inserted it into the pastry and the hairpin immediately turned black. One could imagine how much poison was contained within it.


    "Miss, what''s wrong?" Qing Yuan saw the change in her expression and immediately asked.


    "Qing Yuan, this pastry can''t be seen normally in the dining room. It can''t be that you came from the kitchen?" Su Xiruo asked indifferently, showing the black silver hairpin to Qing Yuan.


    Qing Yuan shook his head, revealing a surprised expression: "The nanny in the kitchen said that this was specifically ordered by the old master to make it for you and Second Miss. Miss, please blame me for being careless, I brought it here without even checking it in advance!"


    "No, once Su Yuanqing comes back today, he would be furious towards Su Jinxi, so he shouldn''t have this kind of interest." Su Xiruo suspected those words in his heart.


    "Miss, you mean, this poison?"


    "Follow me to see Su Jinxi!" Su Xiruo put down his chopsticks as he seemed to already have an idea in his heart.

 C27

    Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan came to Su Jinxi''s residence alone. They used aphrodisiac to temporarily confuse the guards outside and then bent over the door to check on the situation inside.


    In the room, a Maidservant was reporting the situation to Su Jinxi in a low voice, "Miss, the pastries have already been delivered to Su Xiruo. If nothing unexpected happens, she shouldn''t suspect anything."


    "Heh, very good." Su Jinxi laughed proudly, "I want to see if she will still have a life to provoke my fiance this time!"


    Young miss, that short-lived bastard Su Xiruo, how could he have the qualifications to fight with you? Maidservant also took the opportunity to kiss her ass.


    Su Xiruo nodded in satisfaction, thinking, Su Xiruo, this time, I will make you pay!


    Qing Yuan listened from outside the door and was immediately furious: "Miss, this Su Jinxi, he is too shameless, it looks like, I have to teach him an unforgettable lesson!"


    During this period of time, Miss had been worrying about the condition of Old Mistress, which was why she was unable to take care of this eyesore. But now, she could no longer tolerate it!


    "Since she''s determined to not let me off, then it''s just right. I''ll find some time to play with her for once." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth slightly rose, he seemed to have an idea in his heart.


    "Miss, what are you going to do?" Qing Yuan could not help but ask.


    "Qing Yuan, go back first and fry the medicine. I''ll go take a look at my dear father." Su Xiruo said expressionlessly, and mentioning the word father was like mentioning a stranger.


    "Yes."


    Therefore, Su Xiruo headed towards the courtyard Su Yuanqing lived in.


    "Eldest Miss, why did you call at this time?" The guard seemed surprised to see her.


    "I have something to discuss with the lord, may I trouble you to let me know." Su Xiruo''s attitude towards his servants was considered to be rather polite.


    "Alright, First Miss, please wait for a moment."


    Su Xiruo stood outside the courtyard and waited. The door to the hall was pushed open by Su Yuanqing and he asked in surprise: "What are you doing here?"


    Ever since Su Xiruo had "shown off" in front of him and injured him, Su Yuanqing knew that this girl''s strength was not weak and was not someone he could casually afford to offend.


    Therefore, from then on, with regards to Su Xiruo, Su Yuanqing simply turned a blind eye and stopped meddling in his affairs.


    "Old master doesn''t have to be so courteous to me. Can you come in and speak?" Su Xiruo was more polite to him now.


    After hesitating for a moment, Su Yuanqing agreed, "Come in."


    Entering the house, Su Xiruo did not treat himself as an outsider, and found a place to sit: "Master, for the palace banquet tomorrow, according to the rules, you need to bring your family and children there, right?"


    "That''s right." Su Yuanqing did not deny it, and then asked her, "Why, do you want to go as well?"


    However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that now that she was in confinement and had done such a shameful thing today, if she were to go with him tomorrow, he would probably laugh at her.


    However, if he did not bring his daughter along, it would arouse all sorts of suspicions and gossip from the crowd. Thinking about it like that, he could only bring Su Xiruo along.


    "The palace banquet is extremely lively, and all sorts of nobles and officials are present. Who wouldn''t want to go?" Su Xiruo said in a friendly tone, "Master, why don''t you bring me to go with little sister?"


    Su Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she did not expect Yun Che to actually take the initiative to bring along Yin Qi.


    Weren''t the two sisters like fire and water? Since when did their past animosity disappear?


    "Sumire Xi did such a shameful thing today, it''s really inappropriate to take her with me." Su Yuanqing let out a light sigh, looked at Su Xiruo and said, "Xiruo, it''s better if you try your best. You can go with father tomorrow."


    At the very least, in terms of strength, Su Xiruo could completely give him face.


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, he looked to be very sensible: "Little sister is just young and doesn''t know how to act, Master should not bother with it, in my opinion, you should bring us two sisters, wouldn''t that be more satisfactory?"


    "Do you really think you and Sumire can get along together?" Su Yuanqing didn''t quite believe what she had just said.


    After all, the grudges between these two sisters were not at all small.


    Su Xiruo nodded with incomparable sincerity. "Mn, although there are many disputes between my sister and I, I am willing to give it a try."


    What she said wasn''t wrong, she was indeed willing to try, it was just that Su Jinxi didn''t know what was good for him, then he couldn''t be blamed on her.


    "Alright then!" In the end, Su Yuanqing actually agreed to it. "Since you are so magnanimous and don''t care about Sumire, then tomorrow, you two sisters can go together."


    "Yes." With his goal achieved, Su Xiruo did not want to stay any longer. He slowly got up and said, "This is all I have to say, since I have finished, I will not disturb Master''s rest any longer."


    From the beginning to the end, she had not been able to say the word "father." Deep in her heart, she still did not recognize this father.


    Su Yuanqing watched her leave, his heart filled with mixed feelings.


    On the second day, when Su Jinxi found out that he was able to go to the palace banquet, he was extremely happy.


    One had to know that this was a rare opportunity for her to visit the Imperial Palace. If she dressed up properly and showed off in front of the Prince Anxian, she could change her mind.


    Su Jinxi was dressed fully, and proudly walked with small steps. Just as he was about to exit the Prime Minister''S Estate gate, he met Su Xiruo who was casually dressed.


    Su Jinxi was dressed in a long dress that was piercing gold red on the ground, the amount of emerald gold on her head was incalculable, she wished that she could pile up all of the elegant accessories on her body, to show her noble identity.


    Looking at Su Xiruo, she was dressed in a long blue dress, her hair was adorned with a few pieces of jewelry, she did not look shabby, but she was not ostentatious either, just like how she usually looked, almost no different.


    Su Jinxi looked at Su Xiruo with disdain: "Su Xiruo, looking at your poor appearance, are you planning to enter the palace to disgrace yourself?"


    When she found out that she was able to go to the palace banquet, she was extremely happy in her heart. However, when she found out that Su Xiruo was also planning to go, her originally good mood immediately became a lot worse.


    Therefore, when she saw Su Xiruo, she couldn''t help but want to stab him.


    Su Xiruo disdainfully replied: "I don''t want to hide my sister''s limelight, but sister, take it easy. All of the people participating in this palace banquet are well-known figures in the Dragon Seal Empire, how can you allow yourself to lose out in front of them?"


    With a cold snort, Su Xiruo left these words and went out on his own.


    "Heh, you''re just jealous of me!" Su Jinxi was so angry by her words that her face flushed red. With the support of the servant girl, she quickened her steps and took the lead to get onto the largest and most luxurious carriage outside the door.


    Inside the carriage, Su Yuanqing and Mrs Zhang were still seated.


    After Su Jinxi got on the carriage, he opened the carriage''s curtain and looked down at Su Xiruo who was on top of it, exclaiming arrogantly: "Elder sister, I''m sorry, I''m afraid that I can''t sit on the carriage anymore, I can only let you sit at the back!"


    After saying that, she pointed at the small and broken carriage behind them and ordered the servants, "Servants, help Eldest Miss into the carriage!"


    Su Xiruo was about to speak, but at this moment, a gentle, young girl''s voice came from beside his ear: "Ruo Ruo!"


    Not far away, an even more luxurious and spacious carriage slowly drove over. Ye Zhuozhuo peeked his head out of the carriage and greeted Su Xiruo.


    At that moment, Su Jinxi''s face changed. She originally wanted to show Su Xiruo her might, but she did not expect that there would be such a reversal.


    The horse carriage stopped steadily, Ye Zhuozhuo got off the carriage, and passionately held onto Su Xiruo''s hand: "It''s alright, I came at the right time, just as you are about to leave, follow me!"

 C28

    "Brilliant, wait for me for a moment." Su Xiruo was extremely friendly to Ye Zhuozhuo.


    She slowly walked in front of Su Yuanqing''s carriage, as if she still had a breath that she did not want to swallow: "Master."


    Su Yuanqing slowly poked his head out of the carriage. When he saw Ye Zhuozhuo, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Miss Ye, you''re here. Did the General Ye and the General Ye come together?"


    "I did it myself." Ye Zhuozhuo''s answer was simple, "I came to pick Ruo Ruo up and enter the palace together!"


    The last sentence, Ye Zhuozhuo purposely raised his voice to tell them, was to let them know, that he was Ruo Ruo behind Ruo, even if they were bad to Ruo Ruo, she was still good to Ruo!


    "Master." Su Xiruo returned back to the main topic at hand, "Today you''ve pardoned Summoning Xixi, which is already considered magnanimous. Since you''re wearing a crime, then you have to wear a sin, but she was disrespectful to the direct Elder Sister, don''t you think that she should give you a small punishment?"


    Since Su Jinxi had provoked her, she would definitely make Su Jinxi return the favor!


    "Su Xiruo, what did you say?" Hearing that, Su Jinxi immediately became anxious, "What right do you have to say that to me?"


    "Sumire, shut up!" Su Yuanqing interrupted Su Jinxi''s words coldly, "How can I call you by your first sister''s name?"


    "Father, why are you sided with her as well?" Su Jinxi felt extremely wronged.


    Because of face, Su Yuanqing could only reprimand Su Jinxi: "What nonsense! You can go to the palace banquet today and your sister will even be pleading for mercy for you, how can you be so rude? Hurry up and apologize to your sister! "


    Su Jinxi''s finger bones were tightly curled, she was flustered and exasperated, but since her father had already said so, she had no choice but to comply.


    Therefore, he could only unwillingly say to Su Xiruo: "Sorry, sister, I shouldn''t have been rude to you!"


    "Alright, go to the back and sit down!" Su Yuanqing waved and indicated for Su Jinxi to go sit in the carriage at the back.


    Su Jinxi was startled, she thought she had heard wrongly, and was a little dissatisfied: "Father, I don''t want to sit in the back."


    "What? Are you not going to listen to my words?" Su Yuanqing glared at her, not wanting to waste his words with her.


    "..." "Yes?" In desperation, Su Jinxi could only agree and dejectedly alight from the carriage, giving Su Xiruo a hateful look.


    Originally, everything was fine, but since he was sitting right at the front, who knew that Su Xiruo would cause trouble for him, even his father would be dissatisfied with him.


    "Miss Ye, you specially came to pick up Xi Ruo. You must have worked hard." Su Yuanqing didn''t forget to express his goodwill to Ye Zhuozhuo.


    "It''s no trouble at all. Then Uncle Su, I''ll take Ruo Ruo and leave first!" Ye Zhuozhuo was also unwilling to say more, he held Su Xiruo''s hand and went onto the carriage, where Mu Lingxi was actually waiting for him.


    "What just happened down there?" Mu Lingxi was quite curious about what had just happened.


    Ye Zhuozhuo laughed: "Nothing, I just casually solved a problem."


    Mu Lingxi nodded his head, half believing and half doubting. "Brilliant, next time you have trouble remember to call me, I''ll help you settle it."


    "Alright."


    "Right, Ruo Ruo, is your brother not going?" Su Xiruo seemed to be more concerned about this matter.


    After all, her Spiritual Artifact was still in that guy''s hands. She still wanted to get it back as soon as possible.


    "My brother is going, but he still has some matters on his hands right now, so he''ll be a bit late. He won''t be coming with us." Ye Zhuozhuo patiently explained to her.


    "Miss Su, you don''t know." "It''s all thanks to you that Yun Qian went to the palace banquet. Normally, no matter how lively the palace banquet is, he wouldn''t even bother to take a look at it. Quickly tell me, what poison did you poison Yun Qian with?"


    Hearing that, Su Xiruo was a little flattered, "I ¡­ "Nope."


    What did it have to do with him whether that fellow went to the palace banquet or not?


    "Alright, A Xi, stop talking nonsense." Ye Zhuozhuo interrupted him and said, "It''s me ¡­ I have to drag big brother along. "


    But that wasn''t the case. The truth was, her brother didn''t want to go. After she told him that she wanted to go, he said haughtily, "I can take a look."


    This made Ye Zhuozhuo even more certain that his own brother really liked Ruo Ruo a little!


    After hearing Ye Zhuozhuo''s explanation, Mu Lingxi could barely believe it: "So that''s how it is, how did he suddenly gain enlightenment?"


    "Your Highness, don''t speak nonsense. I have no relationship with the General Helian." Su Xiruo immediately said to clarify the matter, afraid that they misunderstood something.


    "Alright, alright, let''s not talk about my brother anymore." Ye Zhuozhuo knew that this atmosphere was a little awkward, so he simply changed the topic, "Ruo Ruo, today we will not care about anything else, and will just enter the palace to play for a day. As for those troublesome matters, don''t think about them anymore!"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded his head slightly. In his heart, he was still willing to go to the palace to take a look.


    The three chatted along the way, talking about everyday topics. The atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.


    After entering the palace, Su Ye Zhuozhuo held Su Xiruo''s hand and strolled around, while Qing Yuan was sent away by Su Xiruo, because they had arranged a ''mission'' for her.


    Su Xiruo looked at the luxurious scene in the palace and didn''t feel any sense of nostalgia.


    Even though the palace was good, the palace walls were too high. If one was trapped in this place for the rest of their lives and lost their freedom, that would be the most terrifying thing.


    On the other side, the moment Su Jinxi arrived at the imperial palace, he coincidentally met Mu An who was just entering the palace.


    "Prince Anxian, wait for me." Su Jinxi happily chased after him and pulled his arm.


    Mu An turned around, and upon seeing that it was Su Jinxi, he was instantly in no good mood. He shook her off and frowned slightly: "Why are you still looking for me?"


    At this time, Mu An already had no interest in Su Jinxi, and what remained in her heart was endless disgust, wishing that she could shake off this trouble right now.


    "I''m your fiancee. If I don''t come to find you, who else can I go to?" Now, with no responsibility, Su Jinxi had a look of innocence, and could not speak of his suffering.


    However, she knew that the current Prince Anxian should still be angry, and had not completely forgotten what happened yesterday. It was reasonable to say some angry words.


    "Fianc¨¦e?" "Heh." Mu An only thought that it was funny. "Don''t embarrass me anymore, I don''t have a vulgar fiancee like you!"


    "Prince Anxian, you can''t say that." Su Jinxi was a little unreconciled, "One year ago, you personally told me that you don''t like big sister, and that the person you liked was me, which was why you broke the engagement with big sister.


    "That''s right, I''m tired of seeing you right now, so it''s better for you to stay away from me!" Mu An snorted, he did not beat around the bush and told her the truth.


    Now, he had no reason to break off the engagement with Su Jinxi. After all, Su Jinxi did not do anything wrong, but if he found any clues about Su Jinxi, he would definitely think of all ways to get rid of this trouble!


    With that, Mu An pushed Su Jinxi away and walked forward. At that moment, he only wanted to get rid of her.


    "Prince Anxian, Prince Anxian!" Su Jinxi was not willing to give up, he still wanted to give chase, but after chasing for a few more steps, he was attacked on his head and fainted on the ground, and while no one was around, he took Su Jinxi away.


    The palace was bustling with lights, Mu Lingxi followed behind the two girls, looking at the happy and harmonious scene, he felt extremely comfortable, just that it was unnecessary for him to be standing alone at the back.


    At this moment, he was thinking, if only Yun Qian was here, then he wouldn''t be so lonely!


    "Ruo Ruo, since this palace is so bustling, you should like it, right?" She asked with a bright smile.


    "Being prosperous is being prosperous. It would be even better if you could do the things you like." Su Xiruo spoke out his true thoughts.


    She had never been a greedy person. Comparatively speaking, she wished that she could live a comfortable life.


    At this time, the sound of a woman sobbing and arguing came from not too far away. The two of them looked over and saw a plainly dressed woman kneeling on the ground, listening to the reprimand of another richly dressed woman.


    Su Xiruo frowned, as if he had met an old friend.

 C29

    "To reprimand someone in such a manner in front of so many people, isn''t this a little too much!" Before Su Xiruo could react, Ye Zhuozhuo already could not hold back, "This Imperial Concubine Shu is actually this arrogant!"


    "Shining, let''s not care about them ¡­" Mu Lingxi didn''t seem to want to interfere in the affairs of the harem either.


    But, in the next second, the woman who was kneeling on the ground had already seen them, and looked at the two with her delicate and touching eyes, but when she saw Su Xiruo, she subconsciously avoided his gaze.


    Ye Zhuozhuo really could not watch any longer, and went forward, and spoke to the girl dressed in gorgeous clothes who had an overbearing attitude: "Sister Shu, calm down, who caused you to be angry?"


    Imperial Concubine Shu turned around. Originally, she was filled with anger, but after seeing that it was the daughter of the General''S Estate and the prince standing behind her, her attitude became much better. "Miss Ye, Prince, I am currently teaching this lowly servant who doesn''t know the rules a lesson."


    The girl had a slim figure. She was kneeling on the ground with a haggard expression on her face. There was a red handprint on her face, making her look somewhat pitiful.


    "Sister Shu, this kind of person is not worth your trouble. Just teach him a lesson." On the surface, Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be rather polite with her.


    "That''s right, today is the birthday of my Royal Brother. If he were to know that such a good day like this has come with your hands stained with blood, I''m afraid he would not be happy." Mu Lingxi also helped Xing Yan speak up. In their eyes, the two of them really had the same heart.


    Imperial Concubine Shu was very unhappy in her heart, but since the two of them had already said so, it wouldn''t be good if they didn''t give her face.


    Thus, she could only warn the woman kneeling on the ground fiercely, "Honorable Master Mo, listen carefully. Since Miss Ye and the Prince are pleading for you today, I''ll let you off this once. If you don''t abide by the rules again, be careful of your little life!"


    "Yes." The woman called Honorable Master Mo quickly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you, Miss Ye. Thank you, Your Highness."


    Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be unable to continue watching, and went forward to help her up: "No need for formalities."


    Following that, Ye Zhuozhuo pretended to be enthusiastic and spoke with Imperial Concubine Shu to divert her attention: "Sister Shu, Prince and I have just entered the palace. Why don''t you lead the way, we''ll go to the palace''s banquet together!"


    With that, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo followed Imperial Concubine Shu in another direction, while Su Xiruo silently stayed behind, as if he had something to say to Senior Mo in private.


    Waiting until they were long gone, Noble Mo finally stood up with his head lowered, not daring to look into Su Xiruo''s eyes.


    "Mo Fei''er." Su Xiruo opened his mouth and called her name.


    Noble Mo knew that he would not be able to escape this calamity today, so he could only reply, "Miss ¡­"


    "Long time no see." "You have already left the Poison Sect for nearly a year. My foster father and I thought that you had died, but who would have thought that you were still here, moreover, you had become the emperor''s Venerable Mo!"


    One year ago, Mo Qian''er came to the palace to hide under the orders of the Poison Sovereign in order to retrieve a unique spiritual herb that was unique to the palace.


    "Miss, I beg of you, don''t tell High Lord, High Lord will definitely kill me." Mo Yu''er pleaded for mercy and knelt in front of Su Xiruo, "I''m begging you!"


    "I''m afraid you have already forgotten all about the mission High Lord gave you back then, right?" Su Xiruo coldly asked, as if he could read her little thoughts.


    "No, I... I always remember. " Mo Chao''er shook her head, trying to argue for herself.


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded, and said without being alarmed: "Since you do, why are you not leaving the Imperial Palace after so long? Could it be that you have someone you can''t let go of in this palace? "


    Actually, she could already guess a thing or two in her heart.


    Mo Qian''er lowered her head, not daring to admit anything.


    After a long while, Mo Qian''er finally opened her mouth and asked, "Miss, what do I need to do so that you can believe in my loyalty to High Lord?"


    "If you go and kill the Emperor, I''ll believe you." Su Xiruo said without hesitation.


    In the next second, Mo Fei''er''s tears came out. She had no choice but to admit the feelings in her heart, "Miss, I can''t do it, I really can''t!"


    She knew that the Miss didn''t want her to really kill the Emperor. It was just a test, but even if it was just a test, she wouldn''t dare to agree so easily.


    "It looks like you''ve taken a fancy to the Emperor." Su Xiruo let out a small sigh, and said somewhat helplessly, "Do you know what kind of consequences will occur if we go on like this?"


    "No matter what the consequences will be, I''ll accept it!" Mo Qian''er bit her lower lip, as if she wasn''t going to consider the consequences anymore.


    Su Xiruo shook her head. She knew that no matter what she tried to persuade him, she wouldn''t listen: "Forget it, this is your own choice. I won''t interfere, but you better return to the Poison Sect earlier.


    "Many thanks Miss, I will give High Lord an explanation as soon as possible." Mo Qian''er was already very grateful to her for being able to do this.


    At this time, Qing Yuan appeared next to Su Xiruo. Seeing Mo Luo''er, he was a little surprised.


    Su Xiruo made a silent gesture, indicating that she should pretend that she did not know.


    Qing Yuan immediately shut his mouth, and did not speak further.


    "How''s it going?" Su Xiruo asked her indifferently.


    Qing Yuan bent down beside Su Xiruo''s ear and whispered into his ear, "They have already brought Su Jinxi and Mu An along, everything is ready."


    "Yes, very good." Su Xiruo nodded, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.


    Then, Su Xiruo turned to Mo Qian''er and said, "I still have things to do, so I won''t tell you anymore. In the future, you should be more cautious within this palace. Qing Yuan, let''s go!


    Mo Luo''er watched as they left, tears streaming down her face. The emotions in her heart were extremely complicated.


    She really did not know how much longer she could last in this deep palace wall.


    Su Xiruo followed the servant of the palace, and reached the hall where the palace banquet was on his own. At this time, the royal officials had already arrived, Su Xiruo was shuttling through the crowd, seemingly looking for his position.


    Passing by the location of the Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Yuanqing took the initiative to speak to her: "Xiruo, come here, I left a spot for you."


    This tone sounded quite friendly.


    "Ruo Ruo, come sit here!" But, Ye Zhuozhuo who was by her side, was extremely friendly and immediately went forward to grab Su Xiruo''s hand, allowing her to sit beside him.


    In an instant, Su Yuanqing''s face darkened. She actually ignored the fact that he was trying to please her like that.


    The key point was that the seating area that held General''S Estate was obviously better than the seating area for Prime Minister''S Estate, so Su Yuanqing felt even more humiliated in his heart.


    With a cold snort, Su Yuanqing glared at Su Xiruo, but Su Xiruo pretended as if he did not see it, and completely ignored this so-called father.


    "This girl really doesn''t know good from bad!" Mrs Zhang also hated him so much, but he couldn''t do anything.


    "Right, where''s Sumire?" Su Yuanqing changed the topic and focused his attention on Su Jinxi.


    Mrs Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he did not know what was going on. "I don''t know, but I think Sumire Xi might come with Prince Anxian. After all, she''s Prince Anxian''s fiancee."


    At this point, she purposely raised her voice, as if she was afraid that no one else would know.


    "Yes." Su Yuanqing nodded slightly. After hearing what she said, he was relieved.


    "The emperor has arrived!"


    At this moment, the sharp voice of a eunuch could be heard. The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and walked over grandly. He sat in the seat of honor, and everyone present stood up to salute him.


    The emperor of Dragon Seal Empire, Mu Lingyi, did not seem to be more than thirty years old, and it was said that he wholeheartedly wanted to rule over the entire country. However, there were some differences in talent and strength, and many times, he was powerless, and could even be inferior to his younger brother, Mu Lingxi.


    However, Mu Lingxi also desired to be free and unfettered, he was not interested in the throne at all, and with the help of the General Helian, Mu Lingyi was able to secure his position as the emperor.


    "Everyone, I am very gratified that my beloved officials have come today. Today, we will treat this palace banquet as a family banquet, so there''s no need to be overly restrained!" Mu Lingyi''s tone sounded quite friendly.

 C30

    Following which, Gong''e and Le Ji started to dance and sing. The atmosphere of the palace banquet was quite joyous.


    "Shining." At this time, Su Xiruo was unable to hold back any longer, "This palace banquet has already begun, is your brother not coming anymore?"


    "He said he would come, so he will definitely come." Ye Zhuozhuo''s tone of voice held quite a bit of confidence.


    In the end, he really did it as he said it. The eunuch''s loud and clear voice could be heard, "General Helian has arrived."


    To arrive even later than the emperor, that was such a great honor!


    Helian Yunqian was dressed in white, and with light steps, he walked over. That peerlessly exquisite face, without a trace of warmth, just a glance was enough to cause one to sink into deep thought.


    The prince''s officials all put down their wine cups and food. Helian Yunqian walked forward, did not kneel down and paid his respects, but only said lightly: "My apologies, I came too late."


    Mu Lingyi had a smile on his face, and did not dare to be negligent at all, much less say anything heavy.


    Helian Yunqian was not polite either. Sweeping his eyes across the room, he went over to the seating area for General''S Estate and said to Ye Zhuozhuo: "Brilliant, sit to the side."


    Ye Zhuozhuo was startled, he sat down by the side and took the chance to sit beside Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at him, thinking, this guy, is he really rude, not even asking me how he feels first?


    He didn''t want to sit next to this freak.


    "Big brother, you overestimate your relationship." Only now did Ye Zhuozhuo come back to his senses, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    "Cough, cough." Mu Lingxi also had a face of helplessness, he took the opportunity to feed Ye Zhuozhuo the peeled chestnuts, "Scorching, let''s not lower ourselves to the likes of them."


    When Ye Zhuozhuo thought about how this concerned his brother''s life, he felt slightly relieved.


    Forget it, I''ll just allow him to overlook a friend for a while.


    Su Biyue, who was sitting opposite to him, curled his fingers tightly when he saw this scene, his eyes staring wide open.


    "General Helian, you have a lot of face. You want all of us to wait for you." Su Xiruo casually said.


    "Are you waiting for me or for your Spiritual Artifact?" Helian Yunqian''s voice sounded slightly mocking.


    "I knew it. You must have done it on purpose!" Once this matter was mentioned, Su Xiruo would no longer be in a good mood.


    He clearly knew that he came here for the Spiritual Artifact, but he had to pretend to be stupid?


    Seeing her angry expression, Helian Yunqian could not help but laugh. He took out the Can Meng from his sleeves and passed it to her: "Miss Su, don''t be angry, this Can Meng has now returned to its original owner."


    Su Xiruo took the Can Meng, and pulled out his blade to look, and suddenly realised that the Spiritual Strength around the dagger seemed to be stronger by more than a hundred times!


    In just a short night, the Can Meng had actually risen from a Common Tier High Rank Spiritual Artifact to a High Rank Spiritual Artifact!


    Isn''t such a span too big!


    "What did you do?" Su Xiruo looked at him warily, as if she knew that this was definitely thanks to him.


    "I don''t know either. It automatically leveled up with just a casual wave of its hand." Helian Yunqian''s tone sounded extremely relaxed.


    Casually fiddling with it? Hearing that, Su Xiruo did not know whether to laugh or cry. This was a jump of three steps, and it was even from the Mortal Realm to the Spiritual Ranked, who knows how many Spiritual Strength he would have to absorb, how much time he would need to do it!


    However, this fellow had done it overnight!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo could only say: "Looks like I have to thank you then."


    "There''s no need to be so polite with me." Helian Yunqian didn''t mind at all, and he sounded quite sincere.


    Su Xiruo sat beside him and suddenly felt that this guy was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined. He didn''t seem to have any big bad intentions towards.


    However, she shouldn''t even think about such things right now. She should first solve the problem in front of her.


    The palace banquet had begun, and everyone was in high spirits. Suddenly, a guard rushed in from outside the palace anxiously, and reported: "Your majesty, it''s bad, the west wing is in water, the Prince Anxian seems to still be inside!"


    "Then hurry and save the fire!" Mu Lingyi got up, feeling very vexed towards this kind of thing.


    After all, today was his birthday. Originally, it was a great day, but in the end, he met with such an unlucky matter.


    At this time, Helian Yunqian slowly stood up. "Your Majesty, do not panic.


    After speaking, he turned and left, instantly disappearing from the crowd''s line of sight.


    "Big brother!" Ye Zhuozhuo was a little worried, "A Xi, let''s go over to take a look. The fire over there seems to be very strong, I''m worried about big brother!"


    "Yes." Mu Lingxi agreed without a second word.


    "I''ll go with you!" Su Xiruo seemed to have already known what to do in his heart, and also followed along.


    The three of them arrived at the palace where the water was flowing. It was just that they were a little slower than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, but the fire had already been suppressed to a large extent by Helian Yunqian.


    "Save the people inside first." Helian Yunqian ordered coldly.


    "Yes sir!"


    The soldier received his orders and entered the hall without delay. The hall was basically intact without much damage, especially the bed, where no one could tell what kind of disaster had befallen it.


    The soldier lifted the curtain to save her but was shocked by the scene on the bed.


    Mu An and Su Jinxi were lying on the bed naked, hugging each other, the scene was extremely breathtaking.


    The soldier''s eyes widened as his legs trembled with fear. He quickly went out to report the situation.


    "Reporting to General, Prince Anxian ¡­ It''s really inside. "


    "Why didn''t you save him?" Helian Yunqian was a little confused.


    "This ¡­" The soldier didn''t know how to describe it either. "Why don''t you go and have a look for yourself, General!"


    Thus, they entered the room. Seeing the stunning scene on the bed, Mu Lingxi could not help but shake his head: "It''s really filthy!"


    Helian Yunqian frowned slightly as he reached out his hands to cover Su Xiruo''s eyes. It was as if he was unwilling to let her see such a filthy thing.


    "Yes sir!"


    The soldier held up a bucket of cold water and poured it all over Mu An and Su Jinxi. Because they were agitated, after a while, Mu An and Su Jinxi slowly opened their eyes.


    "I... Where am I? " Mu An subconsciously covered his body with a blanket and looked at Su Jinxi in shock, "You bitch, what did you do to me?"


    Su Jinxi was also confused, seeing that so many people were watching them, he hurriedly covered his body with clothes, feeling extremely ashamed. "I don''t know, I don''t know what happened!"


    She really didn''t know what had happened. She only remembered that she had come to attend a banquet, and met Prince Anxian halfway before she went to chase him. What happened afterwards, she couldn''t remember at all.


    When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed?


    Although he was Prince Anxian''s fiancee, she was still a fiancee after all. Doing something like this would simply corrupt his ethics and morals, and he would be condemned for doing so!


    "The emperor has arrived!"


    Just then, Mu Lingyi had also rushed over, with many ministers following behind him.


    Su Yuanqing saw his daughter lying on the bed completely naked, and was so angry that his blood and Qi were about to flow in reverse, "Sumire, you ¡­ Why are you here? "


    "Father, I don''t know. I really don''t know!" Su Jinxi immediately shook his head, he knew that he could not refute any further.


    Su Yuanqing''s body trembled, he went forward and slapped Su Jinxi heavily: "You shameless thing, I''ve truly raised you up for nothing!"


    "Mu An, Su Jinxi, you two are simply ruining the morals of the palace, are you two still putting us in your eyes?" Mu Lingyi was also filled with anger, he felt that this matter was truly shameful!


    "Royal Brother, your servant is wronged!" "I, brother, do not know what happened. Yes, it must be her, it must be that woman, Su Jinxi, since she came to beg me earlier, I will ignore her. So she used such a despicable method, wanting to cook the rice till it becomes ripe.

 C31

    Mu An''s tearful voice and sincere tone seemed to be able to speak the truth.


    "Prince Anxian, don''t speak nonsense!" Su Jinxi panicked, "I, Su Jinxi, am still disdained to use such a despicable method!"


    "You, the one who drugged me!" Mu An pointed at Su Jinxi, and at this moment, all that was left was for Su Jinxi to do, "Royal Brother, this woman is sinister and evil, she even attacked Second Young Miss Su Family yesterday. I only scolded her a few times, and she kept it in her heart, afraid that I would cancel the marriage agreement.


    With that, in order to make it more realistic, Mu An took out his sword, and ruthlessly carved a bloody mark on the center of his palm.


    "Alright, Mu An, there is no need to prove it this way, we trust in your character." Mu Lingyi''s tone became a little more gentle.


    After all, in the past, Mu An would always be respectful to him, so he wouldn''t have the guts to do something so outrageous.


    Moreover, this matter was of great importance. If they continued to pursue this matter, it might cause the Royal family to lose face.


    Rather than that, it would be better to just close one eye and blame all of it on Su Jinxi. Compared to the imperial family''s reputation, sacrificing a woman was not much.


    So, Mu Lingyi asked Su Jinxi: "Su Jinxi, do you still have anything else to say?"


    "Your majesty, my daughter has been wrongly accused!" Su Jinxi was at a loss. This time, not only did he lose his dignity, he might even lose his life.


    "Your majesty!" The Mrs Zhang at the side could no longer bear to watch and knelt in front of Mu Lingyi to plead for mercy, "Qianxue is usually well-behaved and sensible, and would never do something so outrageous.


    "Is that so?" Mu Lingyi gave a cold snort, but he did not quite believe it, "How come I''ve heard that Su Jinxi''s personality was spicy and willful? And yesterday, he even injured the second miss of the Su Family in public. Isn''t that so, Su Biyue? "


    Su Biyue took a step forward and pretended to look kind. In fact, he only wanted to add fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty, Little Sister Summoning Xi is still young, it''s normal for her to not know anything.


    Hearing that, Mu Lingyi became even more angry: Such a vicious and shameless woman, she is not worthy to be married into our imperial family. Men, send Su Jinxi to the Sky Prison, wait for his orders!


    "Your majesty, your majesty, spare me!"


    "Ning Xue!" Su Yuanqing pulled Mrs Zhang who wanted to plead, as if he was also afraid of something.


    He knew in his heart that in this matter, there had to be a person whose master was responsible for it. And as a duke, if Mu An committed such a crime, it would be equivalent to discrediting the entire imperial family.


    Therefore, this crime could only be borne by Su Jinxi, it was useless no matter who he tried to persuade him.


    Su Jinxi thought that he was safe, but Mu Lingyi did not let him off, "Take Prince Anxian down too. Imprison him temporarily and think about it before he face the wall!"


    "Yes sir!"


    "Royal Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Mu An panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy.


    "That should be enough, Prince Anxian!" Mu Lingxi couldn''t help but ask, "If I can keep you alive, then you can be satisfied, but what else do you want?"


    Mu An was shocked by her words. Indeed, if he was not Prince Anxian, he would have been killed by the Emperor. Thinking about it, his face turned green, and he did not dare say another word.


    "Sigh, what a sin!" Mu Lingyi slowly sighed, he turned and looked at Helian Yunqian and asked: "General Helian, tell me, how should I handle these two?"


    "What to do with the Emperor is a matter for the emperor, so this subject doesn''t have any opinions." Helian Yunqian did not have the mind to bother with such complicated matters, so he might as well just ignore it.


    Receiving such an answer, Mu Lingyi felt like he had been given a beating, and felt a little awkward. He could only ask Mu Lingxi again: "Ling Xi, what do you think?"


    "I feel that if that woman causes any trouble in the palace, she must be severely punished!" "As for Prince Anxian, there''s no avoiding punishment, how about this?" Mu Lingxi was not courteous at all, "As for Prince Anxian, there''s something wrong with that, punishment can''t be avoided, why don''t you punish Su Jinxi to wander the streets and imprison him for life, and then punish him with a year''s worth of salary.


    Mu Lingyi nodded his head, he was satisfied with the way things were being handled, "Un, then let''s do it according to Chendi''s decision."


    Then, he sighed, unwilling to stay here any longer. "I''m tired. Let''s go back and rest. Everyone, please disperse!"


    With that, he left this annoying place.


    Su Xiruo stood at the side the whole time with a smile on his face, as if he had fulfilled a huge wish.


    Su Jinxi, oh Su Jinxi, now you finally have the retribution you deserve.


    "Su Xiruo!" Mrs Zhang seemed to have no place to vent her anger. She walked forward, grabbed Su Xiruo''s arm, and almost pinched it to the point of bleeding her entire arm. Are you happy that you''ve finally achieved your goal? "Then, from now on, aren''t you going to pay with your life for your sister''s!"


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. He was a little impatient in the face of this crazy woman. Just as he was about to attack, Mrs Zhang had already been pushed away by a force.


    Helian Yunqian personally acted.


    "Men, take him down!" Helian Yunqian gave the order indifferently, and captured Mrs Zhang who was a little crazy.


    "General Helian, show mercy!" Su Yuanqing seemed to be anxious and hurriedly went forward to plead for mercy.


    "Su Yuanqing, the consequences of your daughter''s actions today are her own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If your Su Family dares to behave atrociously again, I will kill every person I see!" Helian Yunqian stared at him and warned him coldly.


    Everyone held their breaths, they knew that Helian Yunqian was truly angry.


    Ordinarily, his words would always be fluent and not painful at all. Yet today, he actually spoke the truth for the sake of a woman.


    That powerful aura made it so that for a moment, Su Yuanqing did not dare to make a sound, much less refute.


    "Clear the field!" He coldly ordered, completely ignoring Su Yuanqing.


    The people inside the hall were gradually evacuated and the entire palace banquet was considered to be having a bad time.


    Su Xiruo''s objective had already been achieved, so he found a time when no one was paying attention to him. He secretly took Qing Yuan away, and did not want to continue joining in on the fun.


    "Xiruo." Just as she arrived at the entrance, a familiar yet low voice called out to her.


    Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see Helian Yunqian slowly walking towards her. His heart was inexplicably nervous.


    "General Helian, thank you for helping me out earlier." Su Xiruo took the initiative to speak, but unconsciously took a step back.


    "You can even plot such a big scheme yourself, why are you afraid of me alone?" Helian Yunqian just could not understand what this girl was thinking.


    Hearing her words, Su Xiruo mustered up his courage and looked him straight in the eye: "That''s right, I am afraid of the General Helian''s eyes, I can see through anything."


    She clearly felt that she had already planned this matter with Su Jinxi thoroughly and fooled everyone, but she couldn''t fool his eyes. This was the most frightening thing.


    "If I really wanted to make things difficult for you, I would have exposed you just now." Helian Yunqian walked a little closer, his tone light.


    "Just what ¡­"


    Before he even finished speaking, that exquisite face came close to him, causing Su Xiruo to be at a loss as to what to do.


    "My heart belongs to you, Xiruo." These five simple words expressed all of his emotions. With a magnetic voice, he said in a serious tone, "Therefore, I naturally won''t do anything to hurt you."


    Su Xiruo''s mouth opened a little, as though he was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, was he confessing to him? Didn''t I already explain it all to him, but doesn''t he understand?


    "Then just give up on that thought. I don''t have any interest in you." Su Xiruo''s answer was straightforward. Hence, she decided to explain everything to him clearly.


    "Whether you''re interested in me is your own business, and has nothing to do with me." Helian Yunqian''s tone did not sound anxious at all.


    His subtext was, "It doesn''t matter if you like me or not, as long as I like you that much."


    What exactly was this fellow thinking in his heart?

 C32

    Then, just as Su Xiruo wanted to scold him, he saw him take out a snow-white silk handkerchief from his sleeve. "You should recognize this silk handkerchief, right?"


    Su Xiruo took the silk handkerchief and carefully examined it. He slightly frowned as he felt that this item was extremely familiar, but he was unable to think of the exact situation. "This is ¡­ My things? "


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, "Xiruo, how old are you this year?"


    "Fifteen." Su Xiruo blurted out.


    A subtle ripple appeared in his ink-black eyes as he continued to ask, "Then do you remember when you were ten years old, you saved a wounded little fox on your way up the mountain to pick medicinal herbs?"


    "When I was ten, that was five years ago." Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment. As he carefully searched through his mind for the memories he mentioned, he had some impression of them.


    She did not remember a few years ago, she only knew that it seemed a long time had passed. That day, she went to the mountain to gather herbs, and on the way back, she saw a white fox covered in blood. Out of kindness, she treated the white fox to stop bleeding, and even used her only silk handkerchief to bandage its wound.


    Because the mountain road was too far, she had no choice but to spend the night in the mountains. Afterwards, she saw that the little fox was incomparably weak and wanted to bring it back to raise.


    In her memories, she didn''t have a deep impression of that matter. At that time, she didn''t think too much about it and only thought that it was an ordinary little fox.


    But now, when Helian Yunqian asked this question, Su Xiruo could probably guess one or two things in his heart, "Could it be ¡­ Could that white fox be you? "


    "That''s right."


    Su Xiruo was almost shocked by his words. She probably did not think that there would actually be such a coincidence.


    Who would have thought that the little white fox that he had casually saved so many years ago was actually a Spiritual Beast? Furthermore, it was a High Rank Spiritual Beast!


    Then, Su Xiruo asked in shock: "Then, when did you recognize me?"


    "A few days ago, I recognized you from the first meeting with General''S Estate." Helian Yunqian''s tone was flat, but it sounded very serious.


    Su Xiruo''s eyes widened, he did not expect that he would recognize him, and that he would be able to hold it in for so long before he said anything!


    "General Helian is really patient." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, "Since you recognized me that day, why did you only say it today?"


    "That''s not important." Helian Yunqian just didn''t know how to explain it to her, so he didn''t say anything.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo had not said a word, Helian Yunqian continued to explain: "I have always remembered that day''s saving grace in my heart, and have also thought of returning this favor to you one day."


    "It''s just a small matter, you''re too serious." Su Xiruo didn''t think about how he would repay her, "Moreover, you''re a brilliant older brother. Being so nice to me, the favor I owe you isn''t really anything."


    "Brilliant, I am me." Helian Yunqian knew that she was gently avoiding him, and so he looked into her eyes with a sincere tone, "How the relationship between you and Shining is a matter for both of you, but I have to repay this kindness myself."


    Seeing him being so serious, Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "Fine, there will be opportunities in the future anyway."


    Since it was his own wishful thinking, he didn''t hesitate to accept it.


    After he finished repaying this so-called favor, there should be no reason for him to follow me anymore, right?


    "In the future, if you need anything or encounter an unsolvable problem, you can come find me at any time." As Helian Yunqian spoke, he took out a sparkling and translucent Red Jade Marrow Ring from his sleeve and handed it over to her.


    "This is?" Su Xiruo did not pick them up immediately.


    "A greeting gift." His words were concise and his tone actually sounded somewhat haughty. Seeing that she still refused to accept it, he couldn''t help but ask, "You wouldn''t even accept my greeting gift, right?"


    This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of being rejected by a woman.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo took the ring, and felt the dense Spiritual Strength inside it, he said naturally: "Then thank you."


    Although she did not know what the ring''s use was, but when she weighed it in her hand, she knew that it was no ordinary object. This General Helian had used a high grade item the moment she attacked!


    Following that, Su Xiruo thought of an excuse to leave. "Then I''ll be leaving first.


    "I''ll send you back!"


    "No need!" Hearing that he wanted to send her back home, Su Xiruo was overwhelmed by the favor, and in the time it took for him to say those words, had already disappeared from his line of sight.


    Su residence.


    It was only a short day, but such a disgraceful thing had happened. Su Yuanqing had a general feeling that there was nowhere he could hide his face anymore.


    The moment Su Xiruo stepped into the Su Palace, she immediately felt a deathly atmosphere, and the current her, was a little tired. She only wanted to have a good sleep and relax.


    "Eldest Miss!" Who knew that when she just entered the door, she was stopped by a Domestic Servant, "Master has already instructed me to bring you to see him once Eldest Miss is back."


    "I''m too tired today. I want to sleep. Some other day." Using his toes, Su Xiruo could imagine what Su Yuanqing would say to him. He stretched lazily, looking like he did not care at all.


    "But ¡­" But the Old Master has already instructed me. " The Domestic Servant also seemed to be in a difficult position.


    Su Xiruo didn''t care about whether the old master had ordered them to go or not, he just went back to his own residence.


    Domestic Servant sighed slightly. He knew that he could not change the young miss'' mind, "Forget it, go and inform the old master first."


    Thus, when Su Xiruo returned to his residence, he found that Su Yuanqing was already there waiting for him.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo''s expression froze at the corner of her mouth, and her good mood disappeared: "Old master, you''ve come late at night, what exactly do you want to do?"


    "Xiruo!" Su Yuanqing stared angrily, as though he was angry, "Do you know what happened today?"


    "Old master, what do you mean by that?" Su Xiruo asked casually, as if he didn''t know anything.


    "It''s today, the matter of Qiangxi being wrongly accused!" Su Yuanqing thought about it angrily, "I was wondering how you suddenly realized it and allowed me to enter the palace with you. So you already knew that there would be such an outcome, right?"


    Su Xiruo laughed noncommittally: "Old master, Su Jinxi did not know her place. She did such a thing and no one could have predicted it would happen, what does it have to do with me?"


    "I don''t believe that you don''t know anything at all!" Su Yuanqing''s fingers curled tightly, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.


    "Old master, are you here today to denounce us?" There was no trace of fear on Su Xiruo''s face.


    "I hope that you can save your sister and Second Mother!" Su Yuanqing finally voiced out his inner thoughts.


    Su Xiruo found his words somewhat laughable. "My status is low, what ability do I have to save them?"


    Even if she had the ability, she didn''t want to go and save him.


    "Xiruo, you''re so close to the General''S Estate. I think you definitely have a way." Su Yuanqing still placed his hopes on her, "How about this, you go and say something to General Helian, I believe that as long as General Helian speaks up, even the Emperor will give me face."


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly as he couldn''t listen any longer, "Not everything is as unruly as you imagine. The mother and daughter pair have violated the rules and they deserve to be punished!"


    "Xiruo, I didn''t expect you to be such a cold-blooded person!" Seeing that she did not agree, Su Yuanqing was obviously angry.


    Su Xiruo snorted, without a trace of guilt: "Old master, words must be spoken with a conscience, the mother and daughter pair used to treat me like this, I believe you know, now that I have met with such a situation, I will not take it lying down, it can be considered benevolent, if you want me to save them, sorry, I do not have such high aspirations!"

    She wasn''t a saint, and didn''t have such a broad heart. Although she wouldn''t take the initiative to harm others, she definitely wouldn''t be soft-hearted if someone came to harm her!


    "Then tell me, why did you return to the Prime Minister''S Estate this time?" Su Yuanqing knew that the conversation was over, so he did not bother to be friendly with her and started to interrogate her.


    "I came back this time because of Grandmother''s illness." Su Xiruo was not afraid of him at all, and did not give him any face at all, "Otherwise, do you think I would care so much about your broken Prime Minister''S Estate?"


    She had only planned to give her granny''s birthday and leave after teaching Su Jinxi a lesson. If not for the fact that she wanted to cure her granny''s illness, she would not even bother to stay in this place.


    "How dare you!" Su Yuanqing was provoked by her words, he raised his hand and was about to land.


    Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, raised his head and stared at him coldly, his aura not weakening at all: "Old master, you want to make a move against me?"


    These words immediately caused Su Yuanqing, who was originally raising his hand, to slowly put it down.


    This won''t do, he had to calm down. This little girl was no longer the same trash as before. Right now, he might not even be a match for her, so it was better not to act impulsively.


    "You unfilial daughter, if I had known earlier, I would have killed you and killed you!" Su Yuanqing curled his fingers tightly. He wanted to regret, but there was no longer any room for regret.


    "Old master, have you said enough? If it''s enough, I''m tired and I want to rest. " Su Xiruo did not take his words to heart at all, and went in the right ear and left ear, "Qing Yuan, let the old master out!"


    It was very obvious that he would not hesitate to expel them.


    "Master, the young lady is resting. Please leave!" Qing Yuan did not stand on ceremony with him and made a "please" gesture.


    "Hmph." Su Yuanqing was furious, but he had no other choice. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.


    When Su Yuanqing was far away, Qing Yuan finally opened his mouth and said: "Miss, it looks like Su Yuanqing has gotten angry from the embarrassment. Who knows what he might do next to target you."


    "Don''t be afraid." Su Xiruo did not see Su Yuanqing as an obstacle at all, "I have almost finished with the matter of the Su Residence. Next, after I obtain the Beast Core s of the fifth stage from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and cure Grandmother''s insomnia, I can leave this place peacefully."


    Regarding this Prime Minister''S Estate, she did not hold a single bit of nostalgia, the only thing that was worthy of nostalgia was, that was, when she was very young, when her mother was still alive.


    But now, as long as her grandmother could be at peace, she could leave and explore her own world.


    "But, Spirit Beast Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, if it''s just the two of us going, I''m afraid it''ll be much more dangerous." Qing Yuan was still wary of Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    After all, that place was so deep that one could not see the bottom. If one was not careful, one would be trapped in danger after another.


    Currently, even though Su Xiruo was a Four-star, her Spirit Beast Mountain Range was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. She could only fight against Rank 5 and below spirit beasts, but if Rank 5 or more spirit beasts appeared at once, she would not be able to handle them.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo thought for a while, then asked Qing Yuan: "Qing Yuan, how much silver did we get from the auction?"


    "Miss, there''s still about eight thousand silver left." Qing Yuan answered honestly, and then asked her, "Do you have any good ideas?"


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, as if he was thinking about something, "Maybe, we can hire a set of Mercenary Group and enter the Spirit Beast Mountain Range."


    "Mercenary Group!" Hearing those three words, Qing Yuan revealed a face of astonishment.


    Because of the needs of the various families and powers and their own strength, at times, it was difficult for them to satisfy these needs, thus the effects of Mercenary Group were evident.


    As long as he spent silver or given a condition, he could hire a set of Mercenary Group to use on himself.


    There were many Mercenary Group, but there was only one total Mercenary Guild, which held authority.


    Generally speaking, the Mercenary Group s would be matched by different people, and then they would be registered in the mercenary branch guilds in different places, forming a team, the financial backer would issue a mission, and the Mercenary Group s would then receive the missions according to their respective abilities, in order to earn a commission.


    Young miss, in this kind of situation, wouldn''t it be fine if you just get the High Lord to send a few helpers over? After all, we have never come into contact with the Mercenary Group before! Qing Yuan was a little worried. After all, she didn''t know much about Mercenary Group.


    "No." However, Su Xiruo rejected it, "This is my personal matter, I should not have alarmed my foster father.


    With eight thousand taels of silver, she should be able to hire a set of Mercenary Group with average strength.


    "Alright then." Qing Yuan sighed helplessly. He knew in his heart that as long as the young miss made the decision, no one would be able to change it.


    Moreover, the Miss had always been like this, never liking to trouble others. She would be willing to do things herself if she could solve them.


    "Tomorrow, I will go to Mercenary Guild by myself, stay in Prime Minister''S Estate and help me take good care of Grandma. I am worried that Su Yuanqing will cause some trouble while I am not around." Su Xiruo was still quite thoughtful.


    "Yes sir!"


    Night, Su Xiruo was still unable to sleep. She simply crawled up from the bed, and suddenly, her gaze landed on the Red Jade Marrow Ring on the bedside.


    The words that Helian Yunqian had said to him today were played again and again in his mind. For some reason, his exquisite face was still engraved in his mind, and it was hard to forget it.


    What exactly was this ring?


    Out of curiosity, she casually put the ring on her finger bones. Immediately, she felt the Spiritual Strength in her body begin to churn. She closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.


    Two hours had passed, four hours had passed, Su Xiruo''s forehead had started to sweat a little. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the strength in his body had become much stronger than before.


    She actually broke through in just a short night?


    She originally stopped at the level of Four-star, and had already been unable to find a suitable break through for a long time. Now that she had help, she actually broke through just like that, and now, her Heavenly Spirit Master had become five star!


    Su Xiruo looked at the ring that was even brighter and deeper. He finally knew that this ring could help train and speed up his training.


    She could not tell what rank of Spiritual Artifact that was, but she could be sure in her heart that it was definitely above Profound Rank!


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Then, she remembered what Helian Yunqian had said to her the night before, and her thoughts became even more messy.


    Shaking her head, she was unwilling to continue thinking about it. Looking at the color of the sky outside, she knew it was time to pack up and prepare to head towards the Mercenary Guild.


    On the streets of the capital, Su Xiruo was wearing male clothing as he headed towards the Mercenary Guild s by himself. For some reason, the people on the streets today were not ordinary people.


    She was suddenly a bit curious in her heart, thinking, just who could be so extravagant that even the road was blocked?


    As a result, Su Xiruo went closer, and barely managed to see the situation from the gap of the crowd.


    In the middle of the road, a group of soldiers was passing by. In the middle of the soldiers was a prison cart, and in the middle of the prison cart was a prisoner leg chain.


    The people on the street were swearing at the prisoners. Most of them were ''slut'' or ''water poplar flowers''. Some of them even threw things into the carriage.


    Su Jinxi lowered her head, unwilling to look at those people, she only felt that she had already lost all face, and did not have the slightest bit of dignity.


    She only knew that her life was over. Not only was she unable to become the County Princess'' consort, she might even face dozens of years of imprisonment and live a life worse than death.


    Su Xiruo looked at everything that was happening in front of him and suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.


    Everything that Su Jinxi had suffered today, was what she deserved. When Su Xiruo thought back to his painful and dark decade, he even felt that this kind of punishment was too light.

 C34

    The corner of her lips curled up as she turned around and left this bustling place. After a few twists and turns, she finally arrived at the capital''s Mercenary Guild.


    "This young master ¡­" The man in charge of the reception spoke in a very casual tone, he sized Su Xiruo up and his gaze suddenly fell on the Red Jade Marrow Ring on Su Xiruo''s finger.


    Immediately, the man''s pupils dilated by several times. His mouth was slightly open, and his chin was almost about to fall off. His attitude immediately became respectful, "Young Master, this way please."


    Su Xiruo saw his sudden change in attitude and was confused. Weren''t the people from these places all snobbish? Why did she become so respectful after sizing him up?


    However, she did not think too much and followed the man to a private room. The man invited her to sit down and told the maid to pour water for her.


    "Master, please wait here for a moment. I will ask the president to come over to see you." The man was even afraid that she would get anxious from waiting. His tone was extremely courteous.


    "Wait, I''m only here to hire Mercenary Group, I don''t need to see your Guild Master." Su Xiruo stood up, facing this sudden enthusiasm, he was overwhelmed by it.


    He was only here to hire and Mercenary Group, why did he have to gather so many people?


    "Young Master, just sit down." The man didn''t dare to be negligent in the slightest. After giving out his instructions, he hurriedly ran out to seek an audience with the president.


    Inside the main hall, a man around forty years old was sitting in the seat of honor. Although he was already middle-aged, one could tell from his bearing that he was extraordinary.


    There were also many richly dressed people sitting inside the room. Looking at their auras and demeanor, they were all well-known people in Dragon Seal Empire, but in front of this Mercenary Guild Guild Master, they all had to be respectful.


    The guard secretly opened the door and went in. He squatted in front of the president and carefully said: "President, someone is here to hire the Mercenary Group. In his hands, there is a high-grade keepsake with a Mercenary Guild on it!"


    Hearing this, the middle-aged man widened his eyes in disbelief. "Are you sure?"


    "It is absolutely true. This subordinate does not dare to speak carelessly!"


    Thus, the middle-aged man said to the people in the hall with an embarrassed tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some urgent matters to attend to. Let''s call it a day. As for our matters, we''ll talk about them another day."


    Although many in the hall were unwilling, they did not complain. No one dared to offend the President of the Mercenary Guild, even if it was just a branch president.


    The middle-aged man rushed over to the elegant pavilion. When he saw Su Xiruo, his gaze immediately fell on the ring on her fingerbone. He stared with wide eyes and felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.


    This is... Why was Chao Yue in his hands?


    However, he still pretended to be calm and introduced himself: "Hello, little brother. I am the president of the capital''s Mercenary Guild, Nan Gong Xuan. What is little brother''s name?"


    "Yunxi." Su Xiruo still used an assumed name and spoke concisely.


    She didn''t know what was going on at all. She was only here to hire a set of Mercenary Group, so why was it that even the president was here?


    Separated by a short distance, she could feel that this man''s strength was extremely strong, definitely above hers. As expected, a person with Mercenary Group, had extraordinary strength!


    Nan Gong Xuan signaled for the guards to close the door, then said: "Little brother, I wonder what business you have with our Mercenary Guild?"


    "President, you''re too serious. I just want to hire a set of Mercenary Group." Su Xiruo was flattered that he had stated his needs.


    Everyone knew that the position of Mercenary Guild Guild Master was very lofty, but why was he being so courteous to her? She was a little unaccustomed to the courtesy.


    "Do you need anything?" Nan Yu Xuan asked.


    "I need to enter the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and obtain a Rank 5 Beast Core." Su Xiruo didn''t try to hide it and directly said it out loud.


    Nan Gong Xuan was startled for a moment: "That''s fine, you need a Beast Core of the fifth step, our Mercenary Guild can be provided to you for free."


    "No, there''s no need. President, we will follow the normal procedures. I will offer a commission and you can just hire Mercenary Group to me." Su Xiruo would definitely not take a bargain that he obtained for no reason, it would be more reliable to rely on the things that he worked hard for.


    Seeing him say this, the Southern Imperial Palace also did not force him. "Alright then, little brother, I will immediately arrange for you to have a good Mercenary Group, it will definitely satisfy you."


    He could roughly sense Su Xiruo''s strength, and knew that this young noble already had a five star Heavenly Spirit Master at such a young age. His future definitely would be immeasurable!


    However, currently, a five star Heavenly Spirit Master was only a level higher than his peers. In terms of Fine Star Continent, he could not be considered as a top-notch expert.


    Therefore, he could probably guess that this ring was given to him by someone else!


    "There''s no need. President, just follow the normal procedures and hang up my quest. When someone accepts it, just send someone to notify me." Su Xiruo still wanted to follow the rules and not take advantage of anyone.


    After all, these advantages were not for nothing.


    "Alright, let''s follow little brother''s wishes." South Stream Temple agreed.


    "This is the commission." Su Xiruo took out a stack of silver bills and handed it over to Nan Gong Xuan.


    The retainer at the side of South Stream Temple took the banknotes and briefly counted them; no more, no less than 8000 taels of silver.


    "Alright, guild leader, I''ve finished explaining everything to you. I won''t disturb you any further." After Su Xiruo finished speaking, he decided to leave.


    "Brother Yunxi, please wait!" South Stream Temple called out to her, as if there was something else they wanted to say, "May I ask, where did you get this ring?"


    Su Xiruo withdrew his finger bones and subconsciously covered them up, then said indifferently: "I won''t be able to answer this kind of personal question, right?"


    Although she wasn''t very familiar with Helian Yunqian, she wouldn''t casually tell this private issue to a stranger.


    "Sorry about that." It wasn''t good to ask, so the only choice was to give up. "Someone, send Young Master Yunxi off!"


    "Yes sir!"


    After Su Xiruo left, Nan Gong Xuan frowned, he was still thinking about that storage ring: "That''s not right, that ring was obviously not fake."


    Therefore, Yunxi''s background should be extraordinary!


    Stepping out of the Mercenary Guild, Su Xiruo subconsciously looked at the ring on his fingerbone, and then took it off.


    Although she didn''t know what kind of divine item this ring was, if even the president of Mercenary Guild came to ask about it, then it must not be an ordinary item!


    Just what kind of background does this Helian Yunqian have? How could a random item he took out be so precious?


    Forget it, let''s not think about these random things for now, let''s finish settling everything first, maybe after a few more days, I will leave the Dragon Seal Empire, and I will not have any interactions with Helian Yunqian anymore!


    Unexpectedly, in a short day, Su Xiruo was informed that there was a Mercenary Group that had accepted her mission. After knowing that her problem was about to be resolved, she excitedly rushed towards the Mercenary Guild once again.


    When he saw that the ring was no longer on Su Xiruo''s finger bone, he could not help but ask: "Young Master Yun Xi, where is your ring?"


    "I don''t need it for now, I''ll put it away." Su Xiruo said vaguely, then immediately changed the topic, "President Nan, may I ask, can I see the Mercenary Group that I am employing now?"


    Hearing that he had only put it away, the Southern Imperial Family was a lot more at ease. They smiled and replied, "Of course you can."


    Then, he took out an engraved jade slip of paper from his sleeve and gave it to her, "Young Master Yunxi, this is the letter for your mission. Take this note to the starting ground of your mission and reconcile with your Mercenary Group.


    Su Xiruo took the letter, said his thanks, and got up to leave.


    The starting ground for the mission should be the place where the Spirit Beast Mountain Range would start from. Thinking about it here, Su Xiruo used the fastest speed to arrive at the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    The sky was cold at the exit of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there were few signs of human life, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Ordinary people wouldn''t dare to come to this kind of dangerous place alone.


    Looking up, he saw two men and one woman standing in front, with a distance between them, it was not clear yet, but Su Xiruo panicked a little.


    Was there only three people in the entire Mercenary Group?


    No, perhaps, that was not the case. Holding onto a trace of hope, Su Xiruo slowly walked forward, and before he had taken a few steps, a familiar voice sounded: "Ruo Ruo!"


    It was Ye Zhuozhuo''s voice!


    It was only now that Su Xiruo could clearly see that the three people who were originally standing in front of him were Helian Yunqian, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo.

 C35

    "You all ¡­ Why are we here? " Su Xiruo thought that he had only met them by chance and didn''t think too much into it.


    "We''re here to take a mission." Ye Zhuozhuo smiled with a hint of mysteriousness.


    "Accept the mission?" "You guys ¡­" Su Xiruo was startled, as he understood what she meant. He found it hard to accept, "You guys ¡­. "It can''t be?"


    It can''t be, it can''t be that coincidental, right?


    He had sent the mission, and yet they had come to take it?


    Su Xiruo looked up and unintentionally saw Helian Yunqian''s elegant and sexy lips raise slightly with a smile that was not a smile. In his heart, he knew that this fellow had done it on purpose.


    They were really lingering around like ghosts!


    Mu Lingxi took a step forward and said unambiguously: "Su Xiruo, now, you are our financial backer, when it comes to moving out, it all depends on you."


    "Wait, I haven''t agreed yet!" Su Xiruo was feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, "What I hired was Mercenary Group, how did it become like this? This won''t do, I need to go back and ask them clearly!"


    He couldn''t just fall into a pit like this!


    "Ai, don''t go!" Seeing that she was about to leave, Mu Lingxi immediately pulled her back, "It''s the Mercenary Group, that''s right, Yun Qian and I are all registered mercenaries of the capital''s Mercenary Guild, we did not violate the rules, if you dismiss us now, we can consider it as breaking our agreement!"


    Su Xiruo''s mind was blank, there were too many things he needed to accept in a short period of time, he was unable to react in time.


    "Brilliant, the prince and my brother are on the same side, you don''t have to be so formal." Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to have seen her helplessness, and comforted her, "Moreover, if my brother and the Duke are along the way, you wouldn''t have to worry about anything."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, thinking that there was nothing he could do even if he regretted it.


    Logically speaking, if Mercenary Group did not comply with an order, or did not do anything out of line, he could not resign, or else he would have to face a huge penalty.


    However, her manager was already at a loss for what to do. She couldn''t afford to go through all of this.


    Forget it, since Helian Yunqian was willing to play this game with him, then he would gladly accept it.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo forced out a smile and accepted it: "Alright then, since the contract has been signed, follow me to enter the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Our mission this time is to hunt a Rank 5 Spirit Beast and obtain Rank 5 Beast Core."


    "Su Xiruo, what do you want the Rank 5 Beast Core for?" Mu Lingxi opened his eyes wide in surprise.


    You have to know, a Rank 5 Spirit Beast is equivalent to the strength of a human Heaven Saint Master. If one wants to become even more beautiful, he or she has to hunt a spirit beast equivalent to a human 9-star Heaven Spirit Master!


    Just thinking about it made her panic. As a little girl, why would she need a Beast Core with High Ranked like that?


    "Make the ingredients." Su Xiruo also did not know how to reply, hence he spat out these three words concisely.


    "Rank 5 Beast Core as a catalyst!" Even the senior doctor Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but be shocked, "Ruo Ruo, are you serious?"


    A Beast Core of the fifth step could already be considered an extremely high level medicine, and all the spirit herbs produced would definitely be of Profound Rank and above.


    However, not every doctor could create Profound Rank elixirs with the help of this medicine. On this point, it would be a test of a doctor''s level and ability.


    At least, she didn''t have the ability now, she could use the Beast Core s of the fifth step to make spirit medicine!


    "Cough cough, let me try. Maybe I will succeed." Su Xiruo also couldn''t guarantee that he would be able to succeed even one hundred percent of the time.


    After all, she was only a Poison Master of Profound Rank. At most, she could concoct a poison of Profound Rank, and her success rate wasn''t a hundred percent.


    "What if the production fails? Wouldn''t all the efforts he made be for naught?" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be more worried about this problem.


    At this time, Helian Yunqian, who had not said a word the entire time, finally spoke up.


    That tone, it was as if he was a fifth stage Beast Core that he could take at will even if he did not want money.


    "Huh?" Mu Lingxi was speechless, but he believed that Yun Qian had the ability, if not he would not have said such words.


    "Then, this matter should not be delayed. Let''s go in first." Su Xiruo wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible.


    "Xiruo, this way!" "Follow us, we know our way around. We won''t let you take the wrong path." Mu Lingxi patted his chest, and volunteered to lead the way.


    Su Xiruo naturally believed that they were more familiar with the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, at least more familiar than him.


    Thus, Mu Lingxi led the way in front. The four of them entered the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and the shallow level Spirit Beast Mountain Range was no different from ordinary mountain ranges.


    "Ah ¡­" In the next second, Mu Lingxi''s hands moved quickly. He grabbed her waist and did not fall to the ground.


    Then, Ye Zhuozhuo felt a stubborn vine wrapped tightly around her feet. No matter what, she couldn''t get rid of it, and that vine with poisonous thorns pierced into her smooth and tender skin.


    "What''s going on? What is this?"


    Helian Yunqian immediately raised his hand and used his strength to cut off the poisonous vines, then Mu Lingxi pulled Ye Zhuozhuo into his embrace.


    "Brilliant, are you alright?" Su Xiruo was extremely worried, and went forward to check on Ye Zhuozhuo''s wounds.


    "I... "Don''t worry, these vines seem to be poisonous." Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, immediately feeling that something was amiss.


    "Don''t move, otherwise the poison will immediately spread throughout your body!" Su Xiruo frowned as she crouched down. She took out a row of silver needles from her sleeve and pierced it into some of the acupuncture points on Ye Zhuozhuo''s leg.


    While Helian Yunqian stood in place, a trace of malice flashed through his pitch-black starry eyes. None of the movements of the surrounding grass could escape his senses.


    There was an ambush nearby!


    As a result, he lightly lifted his hand and a few hidden weapons flew out from his sleeves. Immediately, miserable cries could be heard as the mercenaries that were lying in ambush were forced to reveal themselves.


    A solemn killing intent was instantly born in his heart. If anyone dared to harm the people around him, then the only outcome would be death!


    "General Helian, please be lenient. It''s a misunderstanding, it''s all a misunderstanding!" Just as he was about to make his move, he was interrupted by a gentle voice.


    The four of them looked up at the same time, and saw that it was Su Biyue. Su Biyue held onto his injured shoulder, walking forward, and said apologetically: "I am sorry, General Helian, Brilliant Sister, I am sorry, we set up an ambush. We were originally here to deal with the spirit beasts, but we did not expect that we accidentally injured you guys.


    Helian Yunqian glanced at her, then coldly said: "The antidote!"


    "Alright, I''ll give Searing Little Sister the antidote right now." Su Biyue panicked, he immediately took out the antidote from his bosom, and squatted down to give it to Ye Zhuozhuo, "Little sister, quickly take this antidote!"


    Su Xiruo took her antidote and fed it to Ye Zhuozhuo to eat. A while later, Ye Zhuozhuo''s originally pale white face finally recovered its color.


    "Shining, do you feel any better?" Mu Lingxi asked with concern.


    "Much better." Ye Zhuozhuo nodded slightly.


    It looks like the antidote Su Biyue gave her, was probably not fake at all. Under these circumstances, she didn''t dare to give her a fake antidote either.


    However, Mu Lingxi could not take it all in, he stood up and stared at Su Biyue coldly, and said: "Su Biyue, are you blind? Is it a human or a spiritual beast?


    Su Biyue lowered his head, looking like he was about to repent: "Your Highness, I was careless, and accidentally hurt my sister, if Your Highness wants to, after you leave the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, you can punish me as you wish, but right now is an extraordinary period, I have something important to look for, so I hope that Your Highness can calm down!"


    Mu Lingxi coldly snorted, "Scram, don''t let me see you again!"


    The hidden weapon Yun Qian had just casually thrown had already severely injured her. Forget it.

 C36

    "Many thanks to the prince for opening the door." Su Biyue saw that Yue Yang had forgiven him, and quickly stood up and left with his mercenaries, afraid that the Duke would change his mind again.


    "Brilliant, how are you?" Mu Lingxi then went back to being concerned about the scintillating.


    Ye Zhuozhuo slowly stood up and barely managed to stand up. Just as he took a step forward, he felt a sharp pain coming from his bones, he staggered for a bit, and was stopped by Mu Lingxi.


    It looked like he wouldn''t be able to walk for a while.


    "I''ll carry you." Mu Lingxi did not hesitate as he carried Ye Zhuozhuo in his arms.


    "It''s my fault for dragging you guys down." Ye Zhuozhuo slightly sighed, feeling a bit depressed in his heart.


    At this time, a burst of noise came over, and from all directions, many Mercenary Group s rushed forward, seemingly in a hurry.


    "There should be a High Rank Spiritual Beast ahead." Helian Yunqian looked at it and guessed a few things, telling them, "The three of you wait here, I''ll go get the Beast Core."


    That tone was extremely flat, as if taking out a Beast Core was as easy as lifting a finger to him. It was extremely easy, and did not require the three of them at all.


    Seeing that Helian Yunqian had left, Ye Zhuozhuo was slightly anxious, he immediately pulled at the corner of Su Xiruo''s clothes and intentionally said: "Brilliant, quickly chase after him and help my brother. I''m a little worried about him alone!"


    Actually, Ye Zhuozhuo wasn''t even the least bit worried about his brother. After all, he was roughly aware of his elder brother''s strength, and only wanted to find an opportunity to match Ruo Ruo with his brother.


    "Alright, I''ll go take a look. Your Highness, take good care of her." Su Xiruo understood in his heart that Helian Yunqian did not need his help, but since the light had already said so, he would go.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo had also chased after him, Ye Zhuozhuo revealed a pleased smile.


    "Brilliant, why are you so happy after getting injured?" Seeing her smile, Mu Lingxi slightly frowned, as he didn''t understand what this girl was laughing about.


    "Nothing, I''m just happy. Big brother and Ruo Ruo finally have a chance to be alone." Ye Zhuozhuo also did not conceal the small emotions in his heart.


    "Tsk tsk." Mu Lingxi shook his head, "I really don''t know what Yun Qian is up to."


    He had never thought that one day, Yun Qian would also go all the way for a girl.


    In order to create a chance to get along with Su Xiruo, Yun Qian had specially gone to the Mercenary Group and accepted this mission. Everything was arranged by him in advance.


    "I feel that Ruo Ruo is quite compatible with my brother." Ye Zhuozhuo acted like he was completely heartless, his heart looking forward to how his brother Ruo Ruo will get together with him.


    "Alright, now you should worry about yourself first." Mu Lingxi looked at the wound on her leg, and felt his heart ache. "Come, let me bandage your wound."


    "No need!"


    "No way!"


    "No need!"


    "No way!"


    The two of them were quarreling as if it was a small fight, and this tense situation of their Spirit Beast Mountain Range was completely incompatible.


    Helian Yunqian chased to the end of the line and saw Mercenary Group and what seemed like a group of people forming a circle. In the middle of the circle was an enraged spirit beast.


    The people in the surroundings started to discuss, but no one dared to rush up. They all knew that this was a Rank 5 Spirit Beast!


    "It''s the Ice Ape ¡­"


    "We were really lucky today to meet a Rank 5 Spirit Beast here!"


    "Good luck with what? "If you have the ability, you guys can go up ¡­"


    "This Rank 5 Spirit Beast is not that easy to deal with!"


    Helian Yunqian turned his head, and saw Su Xiruo chasing after him, and was somewhat surprised: "Why are you here? I don''t want you all to wait for me there. "


    "I was worried about you, so I let me take a look." Su Xiruo''s reply was short and concise. At this time, all of his attention was on the Ice Ape.


    The spirit beast spat out white breath with a ferocious look. Its sharp fangs and claws looked extremely ferocious. It seemed that a single slap could turn a person into a meat patty!


    "This is ¡­" A Rank 5 Spirit Beast! " Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, feeling the strong Spiritual Strength around the spirit beast.


    "It''s only a Rank 5 Low Rank Spiritual Beast, no need to make such a big fuss!" Helian Yunqian turned and looked at her, but he did not panic.


    Su Xiruo thought, this guy didn''t care about standing while talking. Although a low Rank Level 5 Spirit Beast was nothing to him, but to her, it was different.


    As for those other teams, they had already started to get restless, planning on cooperating with each other to get the Beast Core.


    "Why don''t we cooperate to subdue this Ice Ape? After obtaining its benefits, we can share it all!"


    "That''s right, this Ice Ape is very powerful, I''m afraid that we have to cooperate with it to subdue it!"


    "But, there is only one Beast Core. If we cooperate to subdue the Ice Ape, who would the Beast Core belong to?"


    "This ¡­"


    There was only one Beast Core left. If they worked together, it would only lead to more disputes.


    The troops then began to move alone.


    "Don''t act blindly without thinking. Let''s see." Seeing that Su Xiruo wanted to take action, Helian Yunqian spoke out to stop her.


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, thinking that they wouldn''t be able to tame the Ice Ape so quickly.


    The seven of them were extremely fast, and the ground under their feet was lit with fire, causing the ground they stepped on to seem as if it had been incinerated by flames.


    The leader''s left hand held a flaming longsword, while his left hand held a sword. The sword seemed to have absorbed all the flames, as if it was from the depths of hell itself, looking extremely hot.


    Streams of ice crystals filled with cold air fell from the sky, the Ice Ape s'' Spiritual Strength fluctuated, water vapor condensed in the air, and the huge body rushed towards the seven people, bringing along a terrifying cold air.


    When the ice and fire collided, a huge crater formed on the ground. Those who were weaker instantly became ice sculptures.


    Helian Yunqian flicked his sleeves lightly, protecting the two of them on the ground, preventing Su Xiruo from receiving any injuries.


    In a short moment, even more experts in the crowd took action, vines sprouting from the ground quickly, attempting to trap the Ice Ape. As the sky darkened, the ground started to crack rhythmically, as though they were trying to swallow the Ice Ape.


    Anger!


    Once the Ice Ape grabbed it, the ground would split into pieces. The blood would condense into ice needles and pierce towards the group, biting, trampling, and killing all around!


    Helian Yunqian shook his head. These people clearly had no way of resisting the High Ranked Spirit Beast, but they still forced themselves to die, what was the point in doing so?


    Finally, Su Xiruo could no longer hold himself back and planned to take action.


    "Xiruo, you can''t hold yourself back anymore?" Helian Yunqian seemed to want to stop her.


    "I don''t have that much time to waste. I''ll try my best to finish the battle as quickly as possible." Su Xiruo''s tone, sounded completely confident, "General Helian, just watch how I subdue this Ice Ape while I''m alone!"


    The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth rose. He probably wanted to give some encouragement to this girl who was full of confidence before he agreed, "Alright, then I''ll be waiting for you."


    Not knowing why, it was just a simple sentence of encouragement, but it immediately stirred up the emotions in Su Xiruo''s heart. Holding the Can Meng in her hand, the tyrannical Spiritual Strength rushed out from the blade''s mouth and straight towards the Ice Ape''s throat.


    The Ice Ape''s body was heavy and heavy, the strong blade had cut its throat, fast and accurate! The vicious blood instantly began to spill out.


    In the next second, the Ice Ape seemed to be provoked, the Spiritual Strength around its body started to fluctuate, and directly sent some of the weaker people flying. It threw out a huge boulder, and smashed it towards Su Xiruo with power.


    However, Su Xiruo was not in a hurry, and with a flip of his hand, he smashed apart the huge boulder. Because he was not prepared for it, he himself also retreated two steps, which was a bit unbearable.


    This big fellow had some ability. It seemed that he needed to deal with it seriously!


    The Ice Ape seemed to have found a human to attack, and started to attack Su Xiruo crazily. Su Xiruo held the Can Meng, and continued to dodge.

 C37

    The spectators, or those who had just suffered a loss, were not optimistic about this little girl going to battle the Ice Ape on her own.


    "Just now, so many of our brothers in Mercenary Group were helpless against it. A little girl wanting to tame a Rank 5 Spirit Beast, what a wild imagination!"


    "That''s right, the Ice Ape has yet to use its true form. She will feel better later ¡­"


    "Exactly, just watch!"


    Helian Yunqian stood at the side and listened to the quiet discussions, not paying them any heed at all. He focused his gaze on the battle situation in front of him, and his heart secretly sweated for Su Xiruo.


    However, he was not too worried. With Su Xiruo''s strength, taming Ice Ape s was not difficult, but he did not have much experience.


    A loud ''boom'' came from inside the circle. When the Ice Ape smashed its fist onto the ground, dust flew everywhere and sand flew around wildly. Its line of sight had been enchanted and could not be seen, the berserk Spiritual Strength, had made some of the weaker cultivators unable to take it.


    With his vision blurry, everyone thought that the girl who overestimated herself just now had already become a pool of blood under the fist of the Ice Ape. Some were in silence, while others were gloating.


    As expected of a Rank 5 Spirit Beast, it was not something an ordinary person could get close to!


    However, after a while, the dust gradually dispersed. The Ice Ape hammered at her chest manically and with its palm, it hacked a whole row of trees into pieces. It was extremely terrifying.


    Looking again, not only was the little girl not injured at all, she even flew up into the air and grabbed onto the Ice Ape''s neck with one hand while the other tightly held onto the Can Meng and stabbed into the Ice Ape''s throat from behind.


    "This little girl ¡­" "He actually didn''t die!"


    "Everyone spread out, the Ice Ape is probably going to go crazy!"


    "Disperse!"


    At this time, Su Xiruo''s attention was extremely focused, his cold eyes revealed a trace of killing intent. He stepped on the Ice Ape''s shoulder, and pierced the Can Meng he pulled out into the back of the Ice Ape''s neck.


    With this attack, Su Xiruo had used all his strength and even his own arms had lost some of their strength. His body also lightly floated backwards, but unexpectedly did not fall to the ground in a sorry state as he fell into a soft embrace.


    A slight chill, like an electric shock, swept across her heart. For some reason, for a moment, she actually somewhat liked this embrace.


    "Are you alright?" Helian Yunqian''s voice contained a hint of concern, worrying that she had just been injured by the Ice Ape.


    "I''m fine." Hearing his voice, Su Xiruo slowly came out of his embrace, thanked him, then flew to him and took out the Beast Core s that had passed away using the Spiritual Strength.


    Ye Ci heaved a sigh of relief. It was a close call just now. If she had been a little careless, she would have been the one to die.


    "She ¡­" Did she really get the Beast Core? "


    "How could this be? She''s just an extremely ordinary little girl."


    "He''s really secretive!"


    Those spectators had personally witnessed the Ice Ape being defeated by Su Xiruo. From their disbelief to shock, they could not believe their own eyes.


    Helian Yunqian slowly walked over, and praised: "Xiruo, looks like even if you don''t need us, you can handle this matter by yourself."


    Su Xiruo turned around and carefully placed the Beast Core into a small porcelain bottle that he had prepared beforehand.


    At this time, a man who was just watching the show walked towards Su Xiruo with a few mercenaries following behind him.


    He cupped his fists at Su Xiruo and said: "This lady is truly skillful, may I know how to address you?"


    Su Xiruo shot a glance at him, and did not take it to heart: "I don''t need to tell you what my name is, do I?"


    "Eh ¡­" The man was clearly embarrassed, he smiled and tried to please her, "It''s like this, little girl, although you are powerful, it''s inevitable that you will be unable to do anything, why not cooperate with our Mercenary Group, we are willing to help you, and after getting the benefits, you can just take the lead."


    That tone of his was extremely fawning. Most likely, they had realized that they were too weak and needed a strong helper.


    Without waiting for Su Xiruo to speak, Helian Yunqian instead spoke faintly, "You just said that she was acting alone? "Then, am I not a human?"


    The man sized Helian Yunqian up from head to toe. With his red lips, starry eyes, fair and delicate cheeks, and that startlingly beautiful face, in his eyes, was completely beneath him.


    Moreover, the man was able to feel no fluctuations from the Spiritual Strength around Helian Yunqian''s body. He was even more confident that this guy was useless.


    "Pretty boy, don''t talk!" I suggest that you, this kind of trash, not come to a place like Spirit Beast Mountain Range. The man blurted out, his tone filled with ridicule and contempt.


    He could see clearly that just now, this little girl was fighting the Ice Ape alone. But this guy was beside her, and he didn''t help her in any way.


    "Who are you calling a pretty boy?" Somehow, hearing this, Su Xiruo reflexively retorted back.


    But thinking about it carefully, if it was just by looking at Helian Yunqian''s godlike face, it would be easy to think that he was a pretty boy that wouldn''t care about anything.


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, he turned his head, wanting to see what kind of reaction this arrogant guy would give.


    In the end, she saw that not only was Helian Yunqian not angry, he had even let out a cold snort, and a faintly discernible smile could be seen on his face. "Being able to be protected by a woman can be considered as a skill, I am happy about it."


    After she finished speaking, her gaze landed on Su Xiruo''s face. That faint smile actually caused her heart to palpitate.


    This guy, just by relying on his exceptional face, could he tease her like this?


    When the man heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red. This pretty boy, it was one thing for him to be protected by a woman, but he was still proud of it. How shameless!


    "Little girl, I think, you are not so shallow. You only look at the person on the outside!" The man started to give soup to Su Xiruo, "This pretty boy cannot give you any help, but we are willing to help you."


    Su Xiruo only felt that his words were somewhat funny. It was clearly because they were too weak and wanted to take a piece of the cake from him, and even made it sound so nice. It was really laughable!


    "That might disappoint you." Su Xiruo did not say anything and laughed, completely not giving him any face, "I was born to be a superficial person, this little white face, is exactly what I want, so, I cannot cooperate with you, sorry!"


    As he spoke, Su Xiruo even used his finger bones to tickle Helian Yunqian''s fair chin, but Helian Yunqian did not dodge at all, making him look as if he was enjoying the process.


    With that, Su Xiruo pulled Helian Yunqian''s hand and turned to leave.


    "He really doesn''t know what''s good for him!" The man coldly snorted. His plan had failed and he felt a bit unhappy. With a bit of hatred in his heart, he threw out a few hidden weapons.


    Who knew that in the next second, not only did the concealed weapon not ambush Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian, it had actually followed its original trajectory and flew back.


    Ah!" The man cried out in alarm and raised his head to look. He saw Helian Yun looking back at him. His eyes, which were as calm as water, contained a trace of killing intent that caused one''s heart to tremble.


    He hadn''t even seen clearly how and when the adonis had made his move when those hidden weapons had been returned to him!


    In that instant when he made his move, the man was frightened. He only felt that it was extremely foolish to have scolded the adonis just now!


    After walking for a while, without being able to see anything, Su Xiruo could not help but sneer: "General Helian, how does it feel to be called a pretty boy?"


    Helian Yunqian gave a noncommittal smile: "It''s pretty good."


    Su Xiruo was startled, he did not expect this fellow to be so heartless.


    "Can you take what you just said seriously?" Helian Yunqian thoughtfully asked her.

 C38

    "Those words just now... It was clearly just to bicker with them. General Helian, you can''t be serious now, right? " Su Xiruo pretended to be confused, but he actually understood it better.


    "And if I am?" Helian Yunqian teased indifferently.


    "If it''s true, then it''s true." Su Xiruo laughed, purposely using a smile to hide the awkwardness in his heart, and his tone sounded neither painful nor itchy, "Anyway, from the sound of it, I don''t seem to have suffered a loss."


    Then, before he could even speak, Su Xiruo immediately changed the topic: "Right, we should hurry back.


    Even with Mu Lingxi by their side, the Spirit Beast Mountain Range was filled with danger, there was no telling what kind of danger it might be.


    Helian Yunqian did not pursue the matter any further, following behind her, looking at the young lady''s slender back, his heart was filled with joy.


    In the blink of an eye, the two of them had returned to the place where they had separated from Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi.


    This place was actually empty. His figure had long since disappeared, but there were still many traces of fighting and bloodstains around him. With a single glance, he could roughly guess what had happened.


    "Not good, they might be in danger!" Su Xiruo became anxious, "There are still injuries on their body, where can they run to?"


    In this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there were hidden unexpected dangers everywhere, and the terrain was also complicated. Once he separated from them, it would probably be very difficult to reconcile with them again.


    Helian Yunqian slightly frowned. She had also realized the dangers of this place and her clear, cold eyes revealed hints of malice.


    However, he still maintained his cool and said, "Don''t worry, I can still feel a faint aura fluctuation. They shouldn''t be far away."


    "Really? Let''s go find them first. " Su Xiruo seemed to have heard hope.


    "Mm, come with me." With that said, Helian Yunqian grabbed onto Su Xiruo''s small hand.


    Seeing that she had the intention to resist, Helian Yunqian then explained in a bland voice: "These four areas are filled with danger, it''s best if you follow me closely. Otherwise, the trouble in front of me will not be resolved yet, and you will add new trouble to me."


    These words made Su Xiruo unable to refute, and following that, he actually hugged his waist, and flew up with the wind.


    Su Xiruo looked at the scenery below him and started to panic, but what he felt was even more inconceivable.


    And this fellow''s Wind Control Arts, just by looking at it, looked like it was light as long as he was already familiar with it. It must be because he had already been in the Spirit Monarch realm for a long time.


    This kind of strength was not on the same level as his. With him around, he wouldn''t have to worry about fighting Rank 5 Spirit Beasts or even Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    "Don''t move, be careful of falling down!" Helian Yunqian felt her body move a few times, and faintly warned her.


    Only then did Su Xiruo become more obedient, and simply reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, preventing herself from really falling down. Their cheeks, were just inches away from each other''s.


    He anxiously searched for a long time, but the last trace of weak aura also cut off the clues and he was no longer able to find anything.


    Helian Yunqian landed and put Su Xiruo down, and started to worry in his heart.


    It had already been four hours and they had no clues at all. If things dragged on like this, could it be dangerous?


    "How about we split up and search? This should be faster." Su Xiruo frowned, she felt that searching like this was not a good idea.


    "No need, I''m worried for a while and need to take the trouble to find you. Just obediently follow me." Helian Yunqian rejected it without hesitation.


    "I ¡­" Su Xiruo was furious. He wanted to refute, but did not know how.


    This guy really had the capital to strike at him!


    Suddenly, Helian Yunqian felt that, nearby, there were more auras fluctuating. Although it was very weak, faintly discernible, he did not want to miss this opportunity.


    Turning around, he saw that the source of the aura was actually at the cliff face.


    "Xiruo, wait for me for a moment, don''t go anywhere!"


    After he said that, before Su Xiruo could speak, Helian Yunqian had already turned into a shadow and fell off the cliff.


    Her speed was too fast, and before she could even react, the person beside her was already gone. She looked at the cliff again, but was unable to see the bottom. Even she had to retreat.


    Just then, a strong wave of Spiritual Strength came from behind him. Su Xiruo reacted quickly and retreated a big step, he turned around, it was a Python.


    Based on the information given to it, the Green Scaled Python could roughly guess that its strength was probably that of a Rank 5 spirit beast. It was a spirit beast that could spit out deadly poison, and once it was infected, it would quickly die from the poison!


    Despite possessing the Poison Master''s physique, Su Xiruo was still very careful. The Can Meng was unsheathed and slashed across the Python''s body, leaving behind a shallow line of blood.


    This Can Meng was currently just a high leveled Spiritual Ranked Spiritual Artifact. After absorbing some of the Spiritual Strength s from the Ice Ape, it had become stronger, but in battles of this level, it was indeed not of much use.


    Just now, if he was able to wield a set of Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact, that Jade Phosphorus Python would have definitely suffered a heavy blow from his attack.


    Injured, the Jade Phosphorus Python swept its heavy tail, causing rocks to fly up as Su Xiruo raised his hand to block it.


    Who knew that, the snake tail would suddenly appear behind Su Xiruo, with a push, Su Xiruo''s light body was pushed away, barely standing at his original position, the corner of his clothes was ripped off by the big guy just now.


    This was too thrilling. If she had taken a bite from this Green Scaled Python just now, she wouldn''t have believed that she would have had a good ending. However, it would have been quite difficult for her to deal with this Rank 5 Spirit Beast.


    Forget it, since it''s here, he would just do his best to kill it and take out its Beast Core. Otherwise, death would be the only thing that awaited him.


    As a result, Su Xiruo poured the Spiritual Strength in his palm into the Can Meng and threw it out, stabbing straight into the head of the Jade Phosphorus Python, instantly causing blood to splatter everywhere.


    The Jade Phosphorus Python shook its body frantically. The huge fluctuation of the Spiritual Strength made Su Xiruo a little unsteady on his feet.


    In the next second, the Can Meng was flung out by the Jade Phosphorus Python''s Spiritual Strength, and it turned and flew towards Su Xiruo. The Jade Phosphorus Python also opened its mouth wide, as if it wanted to swallow her whole.


    Su Xiruo took a step back, reaching the boundary of the cliff, so he could only take a step forward and step on the head of the Python. Unexpectedly, its body shrunk, firmly entangling Su Xiruo.


    The suffocating feeling suddenly surged in his mind. Su Xiruo wanted to struggle free, but he was unable to do anything.


    No, he couldn''t let this Jade Phosphorus Python get entangled with him. Otherwise, the only thing he could do was die.


    Su Xiruo tried his best to clear his mind. After a long while, he finally managed to free up a hand, held onto a dagger, and with the powerful Spiritual Strength, he stabbed it into the Jade Phosphorus Python''s skin and peeled off its scales piece by piece.


    The Jade Phosphorus Python cried out in pain, and Su Xiruo took the chance to break free from its restraints. However, he was flung far away by its violent force.


    Seeing it slowly approaching, Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, although he could not really control his strength, he did not want to let it go.


    "Woosh ~ ~ ~"


    At this time, he heard a light sound by his ear, and saw that the Jade Phosphorus Python had been sent flying by a seemingly lazy, but actually terrifying, Spiritual Strength.


    "Helian Yunqian." Su Xiruo turned his head, and seeing him coming up, his heart immediately calmed down.


    The Green Phosphorus Python didn''t seem to be satisfied with this. It bared its sharp fangs and ferociously launched an attack at Shi Yan''s face with its big, bloody mouth.


    With a flick of his sleeve, he picked up the Can Meng that had fallen to the ground and welcomed the Jade Phosphorus Python head-on, slashing open its skin and shedding its scales piece by piece. With his brisk and decisive movements, the Jade Phosphorus Python had no chance of fighting back at all.


    Su Xiruo who was standing at the side, couldn''t help but take in a breath of cold air when he saw the Jade Phosphorus Python being toyed with to the point where it submitted to him.


    This Azure Phosphorus Python was obviously not his match!


    Following that, she suddenly saw a Python crawling over from the side of the cliff silently. Its body and appearance were similar to that of the Jade Phosphorus Python, ferociously sneaking a sneak attack at Helian Yunqian''s back at an extremely fast speed.


    "Be careful!"

 C39

    Looking at the Python''s fangs, which were only a few centimeters away from Helian Yunqian''s body, if this bite were to go down, the poison would be extremely strong, and even his Spirit Monarch would suffer!


    Su Xiruo could not sit still anymore. He hurried forward and pushed away the Python with his palm. Only by pushing it away could the "pretty boy" be spared from harm.


    However, she had most likely underestimated the Python''s strength. With a palm strike, she actually did not injure it much. Instead, the Python seemed to be angered and opened its mouth to bite back.


    Su Xiruo acted in self-defence and raised his hand to block. His arm was bitten by the Python and instantly drenched in blood.


    Helian Yunqian turned his head, no longer hanging the Python on his back, he simply smacked it to death with his palm, following that, he spun the Can Meng in his hand gracefully and cut down the head of the Python behind him, his actions fast and accurate!


    Su Xiruo felt dizzy, as if he had been infected by a parasite. Then, he lost consciousness and fell down.


    Although she was a Poison Master with a special physique that was immune to many poisons, her body still needed a certain amount of time to be able to endure especially strong poisons.


    "Xiruo!" Helian Yunqian immediately hugged her body that fell to the ground like a piece of paper. With a glance, he saw the wound left on her arm by the Python, which looked somewhat sinister.


    The blood that flowed out from the wound was black. It was clear that it was poisonous!


    Suddenly, he felt a weak wave of Spiritual Strength behind him. He turned his head to look, the Python that had just fallen down earlier was ferociously attacking him again.


    He was not in a hurry, and with a flick of his sleeves, a tyrannical force heavily smashed the Python''s body.


    "Boom ~ ~ ~"


    With a loud bang, the Python''s huge body smashed a few trees apart, but it eventually fell down lifelessly.


    Helian Yunqian frowned slightly, he suddenly felt that the Python''s strength was actually even higher than the Jade Phosphorus Python''s just now. It was very possible, that it was the Six Rank Spiritual Beast?


    But at the moment, these were not what he was concerned about. What he was most concerned about was Su Xiruo''s injuries.


    In just a short period of time, her originally rosy face had turned incomparably pale, and her lips had lost all color. She looked like a ghost.


    The Spiritual Strength in Helian Yunqian''s palm slowly condensed and poured into her body, purifying the poison within Su Xiruo''s body bit by bit. In order to prevent the poison from quickly spreading throughout his body, he used the fastest and easiest method to completely absorb the poison into his body.


    He then carefully bandaged the wound on her arm.


    He had never had the experience of saving someone, and he was not a doctor, but he only had one thought in his mind. No matter what, he couldn''t let this woman be harmed in the slightest.


    At the corner of his mouth, there was a trickle of blood. He was still unable to fully handle the poison of the Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    After a long while, Su Xiruo seemed to have recovered a little, but he was still unable to recover his consciousness.


    Helian Yunqian took off his outer clothes and covered her body, but he still felt that the girl''s body was trembling nonstop.


    Only then did Su Xiruo''s trembling body barely recover his calm. As night fell, he guarded the girl''s side and did not sleep the entire night.


    Cough, cough." Su Xi coughed a few times and woke up in a daze. What entered her eyes was a wasteland, she suddenly found herself wrapped in a warm embrace.


    On closer look, the enlarged version of the ''beautiful face'' was almost right next to her. She could even see her long and narrow eyelashes clearly. She subconsciously let go of his hand, feeling somewhat terrified.


    What happened last night? She only remembered that she had fainted because of the poison. How did she wake up and find herself in his embrace? Moreover, she didn''t seem to reject his embrace.


    What the hell!


    Hearing the noise, Helian Yunqian who had just closed his eyes and slept for a while slowly opened them. His face looked tired, and the first sentence he asked was with concern: "How are you?"


    "I seem to be fine now." Su Xiruo felt that his body seemed to have become a lot more relaxed now. He then looked at the wound on his arm, and saw that it was carefully bandaged up.


    His outer garment was still covering his body. Not far away, there were two poisonous pythons that no longer had any signs of life. Su Xiruo could roughly guess what had happened.


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Seeing that she was safe and sound, Helian Yunqian finally relaxed and slowly stood up. Her icy lips slightly opened as she spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Seeing the blood color, Su Xiruo''s worry was self-evident: "You were also poisoned?"


    That''s not right!


    Even with his special physique and the poison in his body, his body would not be able to digest it in one night.


    Thus, Su Xiruo could guess one or two out of them, "General Helian, you didn''t suck out all the poison in my body, right?"


    He did not answer and slowly stood up while clutching his chest. He took out a spiritual medicine from his sleeve and handed it to her, then said indifferently: "Take this medicine, first clear all the remaining poison in your body."


    Su Xiruo did not accept the medicine. Instead, he grabbed his arm and felt his pulse with his finger bone, sensing that there was a large amount of poison in his body. Even with the strong pressure from the Spiritual Strength, it was not able to endanger his life.


    However, this kind of poison was also a great damage to his elemental energy.


    "General Helian, why must you hurt yourself like this? The poison in my body can slowly decompose. " When Su Xiruo said this, his tone carried a little guilt, and he was even more inexplicably moved by it.


    He didn''t even know what poison it was, so he came to save her. Wasn''t he afraid of taking her life?


    "No problem." His answer was light and casual, as if he didn''t care at all, "I didn''t think too much about it. I was just worried that this poison would harm you."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip as he was slightly moved. After rummaging through his pockets for a long time, he found a poison, "General Helian, quickly consume this poison. Using poison against poison should have some effects."


    Seeing that he did not receive it, Su Xiruo did not waste any more words, and directly opened the bottle and fed the poison into his mouth, which made him feel more at ease.


    Su Xiruo did not want to owe him too much, otherwise, he would be worried about him at all times.


    After consuming the poison, Helian Yunqian quickly felt that the poison in his body had been suppressed.


    "These two Beast Core, I''ll leave it to you." Helian Yunqian pulled her hand and placed two high quality Beast Core s into Su Xiruo''s palm.


    Su Xiruo clenched the Beast Core in his palm. He was a little too excited for some reason, and this was why he was able to get three Rank 5 Beast Core effortlessly.


    "Thank you." Su Xiruo still expressed his thanks, "Many thanks to you for wasting so much time searching for my Beast Core even in such a dangerous situation. Now, let''s go find Brilliant and Duke!"


    She was still rather worried. Several hours had passed since last night, and she didn''t know if something had happened or not.


    With that, Su Xiruo stood up slowly. Her body suddenly stood up, and she looked a little dizzy.


    Helian Yunqian hurriedly supported her body that had almost collapsed: "If you''re still not feeling well, then let''s rest for a while longer. Just now, I sensed the fluctuation of Qi again."


    "I''m fine now. Since you have some clues, let''s hurry over!" Su Xiruo was afraid that they would delay things for a little longer.


    Seeing that she was in such a rush, Helian Yunqian did not persist any further. "Alright, take this medicine, I will bring you there."


    With the additional conditions, Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. He could only take the medicine he had been given and eat it: "Alright, can we go over now?"


    "Yes."


    Helian Yunqian did not say much, and took the opportunity to embrace her waist, and rise into the wind. But this time, Su Xiruo was actually already used to this feeling, and was tightly grabbing onto his body.


    His eyes inadvertently swept a glance over him. He didn''t know why, but he felt a strange throbbing in his heart.

 C40

    "Brilliant! Brilliant!" A familiar yet gentle voice entered Ye Zhuozhuo''s ears, messing up his messy thoughts.


    Ye Zhuozhuo slowly opened his eyes. He only felt that his head was still heavy, the first person he saw was Mu Lingxi.


    "Where are we?" She looked around at the pitch-black walls of the mountain. If it wasn''t for Mu Lingxi by her side and her falling into such a predicament, she probably wouldn''t know what to do.


    "We''re at the Spirit Beast Mountain Range." Mu Lingxi explained to her.


    Ye Zhuozhuo reached out and lightly knocked on his head, and then slowly thought back to what happened before he fainted.


    She remembered that she and Prince had originally been waiting at the same place for Big Brother''s return, but then accidentally encountered a High Ranked spirit beast, so she could only flee along the way. As a result, she lost track of direction and fell into an even bigger tiger''s mouth.


    The two of them spent a huge amount of effort to escape from the pile of High Ranked spirit beasts and were forced into the cave, which was hard to exit from, before Ye Zhuozhuo finally exhausted himself and fell into a coma.


    When he woke up, the surroundings were still pitch black. He simply had no idea how many hours had passed.


    "It''s over, A Xi, are we ¡­ We can''t get out? " Ye Zhuozhuo frowned, he tightly gripped onto Mu Lingxi''s arm, and asked with some worry, "Big brother and Ruo Ruo, did they encounter some sort of danger as well?"


    "Don''t worry, with your brother here, nothing will happen to the two of them." Mu Lingxi consoled her as he raised his head to look at the surrounding tightly sealed walls. He could not find even a single exit, nor was there a single speck of light.


    If he went back the way he came, it would be equivalent to being trapped in water again. But now, it seemed like it wouldn''t be an easy thing to find another safe exit!


    "Why is it so dark? I can''t see anything anymore." Ye Zhuozhuo fumbled about and slowly got up. He could not even see his fingers when he stretched out his hand, and only in this kind of environment, could he taste the taste of despair.


    Mu Lingxi immediately embraced her body, and pulled her small body into his embrace, "Don''t worry, I''m right beside you. Shining, don''t be anxious.


    After listening to his comforting words, the helplessness and disappointment disappeared like a wisp of smoke. "En!"


    No matter what kind of predicament she was in, as long as A Xi was by her side, she was not afraid of anything.


    The two of them cuddled together and slowly walked forward. Mu Lingxi lit up a weak flame in order to barely see a little bit of light, even though the light was insignificant.


    "Shining! Slow down! There are steps in front of us!" Mu Lingxi sensed the stairs and immediately reminded her.


    The next second, the stone walls around them started to move. The sound was extremely loud, and the huge rocks on both sides started to press towards the center at an extremely fast speed.


    Mu Lingxi''s hands were quick, he anxiously pushed Ye Zhuozhuo out of the room and into a safe place, his other hand blocking the incoming stone wall, and in that moment, he was forced into a corner.


    "A Xi!" Ye Zhuozhuo was suddenly anxious.


    "Shining, don''t come over. Run further away!" Mu Lingxi was afraid that the giant boulder would hurt her, so he hurriedly warned her loudly.


    At this time, his arm was almost unable to hold on. Blood was flowing out from his elbow, and the stone wall was also getting closer and closer.


    Ye Zhuozhuo saw this and thought anxiously, "A Xi, I''ll help you!"


    "Don''t come near me, don''t come near me!" Mu Lingxi concentrated and used all of his strength to smash a piece of the stone wall into pieces. Then, he turned around and hugged Ye Zhuozhuo as his eyes lightly flashed past.


    The two had just escaped from each other when the two stone walls slammed into each other. If their reactions had been a bit slower, they would have been crushed into a pile of flesh and blood.


    "A Xi, are you alright?" Ye Zhuozhuo acted as if he was shocked and immediately hugged Mu Lingxi''s body. Seeing his arm bleeding profusely, he felt his heart ache.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just some superficial wounds." On the other hand, Mu Lingxi comforted him, "This cave is filled with danger, you have to follow me closely, and don''t lose a single step!"


    Mu Lingxi currently had a five star Heavenly Spirit Master. With this kind of strength, in the entire empire, he could be considered strong.


    However, after entering this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, he didn''t dare slack in the slightest. Within this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, there were too many hidden unknowns;


    However, no matter what, he had to protect it well. Even if he was going to die, he had to bring it out safely.


    "I''ll bandage your wound first." Ye Zhuozhuo took out a bandage and some medicine from the Storage Ring and carefully helped him bandage his wound.


    It was rare for Mu Lingxi to see her treating him so warmly. He was quite happy in his heart, happy to the point that he felt like a fool.


    "What are you laughing at?" Seeing him smile, Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but feel that it was strange, "You''re so happy when you''re injured?"


    "Yeah, I''m just that happy." Mu Lingxi did not deny it.


    "What an idiot." Ye Zhuozhuo laughed and scolded, "Alright, let''s continue walking!"


    Mu Lingxi nodded, then embraced her body, causing the two of them to laugh and talk along the way, it was rather lively.


    On the other side, Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian had found the entrance to a cave. The atmosphere at the entrance was cold and weird.


    Outside the cave, there were also a few Mercenary Group s hovering about, but none of them dared to enter.


    "General Helian, the aura you felt just now, was it coming from this cave?" Su Xiruo looked at the weird atmosphere of the cave and felt a kind of panic.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, "I feel ¡­ "There might be a lot of danger hidden inside, why not ¡­"


    "I''ll go in with you!" Su Xiruo knew what he wanted to say, and rejected him flatly, "If you don''t think I''m too much of a burden, bring me along!"


    As for her burning safety, there was no way for her to ignore it.


    "Alright, let''s go in together." Helian Yunqian naturally respected her thoughts and agreed.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo followed behind him. Just as he was about to enter the cave, the mercenaries at the entrance reminded him:


    "Both of you, don''t go in. The inside is filled with bones. If you go in, you''ll be courting death!"


    "That''s right, you must not enter!"


    Su Xiruo turned to look at them, but did not say anything and followed Helian Yunqian in.


    Although she could guess that there were many dangers inside, she had to go this time.


    Along the way, they saw countless bones. Indeed, it was as the people outside said. Who knew how many corpses were buried in this place?


    Suddenly, the two of them heard the sound of weapons clashing and miserable screams not too far away. It seemed like there were a lot of people entering this place, and there must be a lot of extraordinary items hidden inside.


    But right now, the two of them did not even think about getting any rare items, all they wanted to do was to quickly find Brilliant and Mu Lingxi.


    Helian Yunqian turned around, gently told her to be careful, then quickened his pace and followed her.


    There were tons of people piled up in front of them, with less than half of them still alive. There were dead and injured, and the mechanism had continued to shoot concealed weapons and poison arrows, carrying a strong Spiritual Strength.


    As a result, he could only stand at his original spot and raise his guard, not being able to take a step forward.


    Su Xiruo turned around and looked at the road behind him, it was actually sealed, which meant, if they did not pass through this road, they would have died here today!


    Just at that moment, she suddenly heard a movement, and when she came back to her senses, there was already a hidden weapon that was silently approaching her face, but before they met, Helian Yunqian had cut it off with two fingers.


    Following that, he helped Su Xiruo block no less than ten hidden arrows. It was practically an instant, even with her extremely sharp Heavenly Spirit Master, she was unable to defend completely.


    Only now did Su Xiruo realize that he could not be that careless. Otherwise, if he was distracted for even a second, he might lose his life.

 C41

    "Sorry, I was distracted just now." Su Xiruo hurriedly apologized. When the Can Meng was unsheathed, he instantly increased his vigilance by 180 times.


    "No problem, you can split your attention as much as you want." Unexpectedly, not only did Helian Yunqian not remind her to be careful, he even looked indifferent. It was probably because he felt that even if she was distracted all the time, he would still be able to take care of her.


    Su Xiruo let out a light sigh. He did not take his words to heart, and continued to raise his guard as he dealt with the hidden weapons that came from all directions.


    However, even if she was extremely focused, it was inevitable that she would be left out, and all of them would be casually taken care of by Helian Yunqian.


    Su Xiruo was well aware that if this were to continue, it would become a bottomless pit. The root of the problem had not been solved yet.


    Thus, she started to really pay attention to it, observing the rules and frequency of the projectile. After looking at it for a long time, she seemed to be able to discern some simple features.


    "General Helian, I think I found a way out!" After Su Xiruo finished speaking, he raised his hand and used his Spirit Qi to attack the hole.


    Sure enough, that place suddenly cracked open, and in the next second, many concealed weapons jumped out like madmen.


    Su Xiruo anxiously retreated, the Spiritual Strength in his palm congealing into a gigantic shield, blocking all the dangers, only then was he able to escape.


    At this time, a familiar figure appeared from within the crowd and approached them. It was Su Biyue.


    Su Biyue''s originally white and delicate face was now covered in dust and blood, looking somewhat miserable.


    "General Helian, Sister Cyril, why did you guys come in as well? This place is very dangerous! " Su Biyue looked at the two of them with a worried expression, but no one knew what he was planning in his heart.


    Helian Yunqian frowned slightly. He was only focused on helping Su Xiruo avert the danger that was coming from all directions and he did not place Su Biyue in his eyes at all.


    "Why are you here?" Su Xiruo was curious, "Is there some treasure hidden in this cave?"


    Su Biyue shook her head: "I only heard that there are hidden treasures of the High Ranked in the cave, so I wanted to go in to take a look, who would have known that it would be so difficult."


    Originally, she had thought that she would definitely not be able to enter, and that she wouldn''t be able to obtain any High Ranked or treasures.


    She was lucky to have met the General Helian and Su Xiruo. As long as she followed them, she could at least obtain some benefits.


    Seeing that they were silent, Su Biyue intentionally asked them with good intentions: "Right, did you guys come here to find treasures as well?"


    Helian Yunqian looked at her, then said indifferently: "We are looking for someone."


    Hearing that, Su Biyue''s mind seemed to turn, he suddenly realised that the two of them seemed to have separated from Mu Lingxi!


    Therefore, Su Biyue pretended to look worried, "That''s right, Brilliant Sister and Prince, why aren''t you with us?"


    "We''re separated." Su Xiruo''s answer was simple and concise, as he casually asked her, "Have you seen the two of them after walking around the Spirit Beast Mountain Range for an entire night?"


    Su Biyue thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "No, but yesterday, I accidentally hurt my Sis, so I actually haven''t gone too far. When I heard the sounds of fighting and spirit beasts coming from your side, I just remembered that the General Helian can handle it, so I didn''t go over to join in on the fun. I think... It is very likely that Your Highness and Brilliant Sister are in danger! "


    Upon hearing the word danger, Su Xiruo became even more worried.


    Helian Yunqian was too lazy to waste anymore time, he raised his hand and threw out a few concealed weapons, accurately blocking every opening. Following that, the hidden weapons in all directions, exploded out ten times more.


    He had always been standing in front of Su Xiruo, and had dealt with all the threats in front of her. After the rain of arrows gradually disappeared, most of the people present had also died.


    Su Biyue was hiding in a corner, her body had many injuries, but luckily, she had avoided any fatal spots. She was already thankful that she was not dead.


    "Are you alright?" Helian Yunqian turned and looked at Su Xiruo, and asked with deep concern.


    "It''s fine, let''s go quickly!" Su Xiruo shook his head. What he was most worried about right now were still and Yue Zhen.


    Seeing that they had left, Su Biyue immediately stood up and followed them. He thought that as long as he followed them closely, he should not encounter any great danger along the way.


    Although Su Xiruo did not like Su Biyue a lot, but right now, she didn''t have the time to care about all this. Right now, she just wanted to find Brilliant and Mu Lingxi quickly.


    The three of them walked around the cave but did not find an exit. As they reached the back, the road became narrower and darker. There were only a few people left.


    There were probably not many people that could make it to this place.


    "Wait." Helian Yunqian suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had sensed a special power.


    Following that, Su Xiruo and Su Biyue also detected the aura of the Spiritual Strength at the same time. Su Biyue unconsciously took a step back, feeling somewhat afraid in his heart.


    This was the aura of a High Ranked Spirit Beast!


    Su Xiruo was already prepared to make a casual move. A loud sound came from ahead, and a purplish black Python slithered over. The glint in its eyes was extremely terrifying.


    This Python was completely different from the two they subdued yesterday. This one''s strength was obviously much stronger!


    "I''ve been waiting for you guys for a long time. You guys have finally come knocking to seek death!" When the Python opened its mouth to speak, it immediately caused Su Xiruo and Su Biyue to reveal astonished expressions.


    This is... Six Rank Spiritual Beast?


    One had to know that spirit beasts with higher Sixth Rank began to have intelligence, have more independent thoughts, and speak!


    A Six Rank Spiritual Beast''s strength was equivalent to a human''s Spirit Monarch. If it was a High Rank Spiritual Beast, then even their Spirit Monarch might not necessarily be a match for it.


    "Xiruo, step back a bit." Helian Yunqian turned his head and warned carefully. Towards this Six Rank Spiritual Beast, he did not slack off completely.


    Normally, if he were to encounter such a situation, he would not be worried at all, nor would he have absolute confidence in being able to solve the problem. However, right now, he had been poisoned, and the poison within his body had yet to be completely purged from his body.


    Su Xiruo did not retreat, and instead said to the Python: "We were in a hurry to find someone, so we did not mean to pester you, so, I have to trouble you to make way!"


    If they could avoid this dispute, it would be best to not take action. After all, they would likely not be able to get any benefits from this.


    "Make way?" The Python snorted, and felt that Su Xiruo''s words sounded somewhat ridiculous, "You guys killed two of my clansmen yesterday, and want me to forget about it? "Let me tell you, blood should be repaid in blood!"


    With that, the Python seemed to be enraged, its snake tail that was thicker than a bowl''s mouth swung straight towards Su Xiruo''s face, the overbearing power was overbearing, as though it wanted to kill Su Xiruo immediately to silence him.


    Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment. He had realized that he might be severely injured, and that there was simply no room for dodging. Unexpectedly, before the snake tail could land on him, it was suspended in the air by Helian Yunqian''s Spiritual Strength.


    For a moment, the Python could not move, it felt like its own body was being controlled by the man, it could not even use a bit of strength.


    Su Xiruo sucked in a breath of cold air. Even the Six Rank Spiritual Beast were in his hands, it was nothing.


    "Pretty boy, you have some skill!" The Python continued to curse, "But, you better be more polite to me!"


    "I''ll kill you too, so what?" Helian Yunqian''s tone of voice was extremely arrogant.


    "You ¡­ Stop or you will regret it! " The Python felt a huge pressure and started to panic in its heart.


    Helian Yunqian did not comment and smiled: "A nameless person who dares to speak so arrogantly, I really want to see how you make me regret it."


    The Python used all of its powers, only then did the serpent tail manage to shatter the stone wall behind it. Behind the stone wall, a huge iron cage was placed, and Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo were inside it.

 C42

    "Brother!" Upon seeing Helian Yunqian, Ye Zhuozhuo was immediately excited, he immediately got up, and anxiously spun around.


    "Shining." Helian Yunqian frowned slightly. He suddenly became angry and increased the power in his hands, wishing that he could snap the Python''s body, "Let them go!"


    His voice was cold and oppressive, obviously commanding.


    The Python felt pain, and immediately said: "Brat, you better be more courteous. This cage is surrounded by hidden weapons, if you attack it once, the hidden weapons will instantly burst out, and the people inside the cage will have no way out."


    Its tone was clearly a threat.


    Su Xiruo turned his head, and carefully observed the cage. It was indeed strange, but if he did not know, he would directly make his move, and would definitely suffer a great loss.


    This fellow really knows how to scheme. It knows that it is not Helian Yunqian''s match, and this is how it used to coerce him!


    Hearing that, Helian Yunqian threw the Python into the air like he was throwing trash.


    "Ouch!" The Python cried out.


    Ye Zhuozhuo who was in the cage could not hold back and scolded: "How shameless and despicable! Brother, if you don''t listen to this big guy and kill it, we will be fine! "


    Mu Lingxi lightly tugged at Ye Zhuozhuo''s clothes, afraid that she would accidentally touch the cage or the mechanism.


    "Speak, what conditions do you have?" Helian Yunqian could roughly guess, that this Python must certainly give him some conditions in exchange before it would let out its brilliance.


    The Python laughed roughly, and with a hint of pride: "Hahaha, I just said it, you can''t do anything about me!"


    "Cut the crap!" Helian Yunqian interrupted it with a few cold words, "My patience is limited, if you want to say more, quickly say it. If you continue to speak, I will destroy your primordial spirit right now.


    The Python shuddered in fear at his cold tone and powerful aura, and did not dare to provoke him again: "I only have one condition, and I want you to help me kill a spirit beast!"


    "What spirit beast?"


    "The Chinese Kite, is similarly a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, and is also in this mountain cave." "If you can help me get rid of this problem in my heart, then I''ll let them go!"


    This Chinese Kite had been fighting with it in this cave for many years. Over the years, the two had fought to the point where it was hard to determine the victor.


    It wanted to be the only king in the cave, but it didn''t have the ability. It directly exterminated the Chinese Kite, so the two of them had been in a stalemate the entire time.


    After hearing its words, Helian Yunqian and Su Xiruo could probably guess its goal.


    In a situation like this, one mountain couldn''t tolerate two tigers. The two experts just wanted to determine who would win.


    "My strength is about the same as the Chinese Kite''s. If you can deal with me, you can naturally deal with that Chinese Kite as well." The Python seemed to have seen some kind of hope, "As long as you help me kill it, and give its Beast Core to me, I won''t harm your friends."


    The tone of the Python sounded quite sincere.


    Just when Su Xiruo wanted to say something, Helian Yunqian agreed immediately: "Alright, I agree."


    When the Python saw it being so straightforward, it revealed a hearty smile. "Hahaha, kid, you are so straightforward."


    "Then how do we find the Chinese Kite?" Su Xiruo asked it.


    "Continue going in. After three forks and a river, it should be enough." The Python gave a general idea of the location, "As for the specific location, we still need you guys to look for it yourselves.


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, looking at the arrogant Python, he wanted to break its neck.


    And at this time, the Python''s gaze landed on Su Xiruo, and laughed: "Brat, you can keep her here, as security, or else, I''ll be worried that you''ll escape halfway!"


    "No, she''s coming with me." Helian Yunqian did not hesitate at all and coldly rejected him.


    Wanting to raise so many conditions with him was simply asking for an inch more! He would never let Xiruo leave his side.


    Helian Yunqian''s tone did not give any room for compromise, it was as though if he spoke a few more words, he might directly take action.


    "Hey, ugly thing, you really have a lot of requirements!" Mu Lingxi who was in the cage could not bear to listen any longer, and scolded loudly, "I''m giving you a good face, you''re just satisfied, yet you''re still so greedy, are you not afraid of death?"


    The Python was not afraid of Mu Lingxi, but it was a little afraid of him in its heart, so it could only take a step back. "Alright, then how long will it take for you two to come back?


    "In four hours." Helian Yunqian casually replied, as though he did not care about this at all.


    To him, dealing with a Six Rank Spiritual Beast was not something difficult.


    "Four hours and you can find the Chinese Kite and finish it?" The Python still could not believe it.


    This cave was extremely complicated, and there were dangers of different degrees everywhere. It was already very good that they could find the location of the Chinese Kite within four hours.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian clearly felt that it was too useless, and became a little impatient.


    "Alright, you can go now. If you don''t return in four hours, don''t blame me for being rude to them!" The Python threatened coldly.


    The two of them ignored it as they slowly approached the cage.


    "Brilliant, Your Highness, just wait patiently. General Helian and I will think of a way to save you." Su Xiruo said gently.


    Ye Zhuozhuo nodded his head, but he was still a little worried: "You guys be careful, if the opponent is too strong, then don''t go all out. We don''t have to worry, at worst, just kill this ugly thing!"


    "Don''t worry." Helian Yunqian said these two words indifferently, but it was as if he had given them a reassurance.


    After giving a few sentences, Su Xiruo left the place with Helian Yunqian, following the path that the Python pointed out, going forward. On the way there, there were quite a few traps and a few spirit beasts around, but it was not difficult for them.


    "General Helian, we have already passed the river. This Chinese Kite should be around right?" Su Xiruo was still extremely vigilant.


    After all, that was a Six Rank Spiritual Beast. If it wasn''t for him, if he met it himself, it would have been impossible for him to defeat it.


    "Yes." General Helian frowned, "But ¡­ I didn''t sense any signs of life nearby. "


    Su Xiruo unintentionally glanced at him, only to see that his expression was a little ugly. It was obvious that the poison in his body had not been completely cleansed.


    In this state, Su Xiruo was still a little worried about dealing with a Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    "Maybe it''s not there yet." After Su Xiruo said this, he suddenly felt a sound of the wind.


    Suddenly, a small bird came out from the darkness. Just as Su Xiruo was about to take action, the small bird landed on Su Xiruo''s arm lightly and looked at her with a friendly face.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo relaxed his guard and retracted the Spiritual Strength in his hand.


    "Xiruo, be careful!" Helian Yunqian could immediately tell that something was wrong with the little bird. He raised his hand and with a burst of force, sent the little bird flying.


    Ah!" The bird landed on the ground and cried out in pain. Seeing that the man wanted to kill it, it hurriedly begged for mercy, "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me!


    "He can actually speak!" Su Xiruo''s eyes widened. He probably did not expect that this unremarkable looking little bird would actually know how to speak.


    In other words, this little bird was a Six Rank Spiritual Beast. Could it be that it was a Chinese Kite?


    If it didn''t speak, Su Xiruo would think that it was just a low levelled spirit beast.


    "Chinese Kite." Helian Yunqian''s icy lips slightly opened without a trace of warmth.


    He never expected them to find the Chinese Kite so quickly.

 C43

    "Yes, I am the Chinese Kite." The little bird''s face was full of grievance as he retreated a little, "Don''t kill me, I ¡­" I can remove the poison from your body. "


    These words, to Helian Yunqian, were completely useless. In his heart, without the word ''sympathy'', he still maintained his unchanging expression, and planned to directly take care of this little fellow.


    "Helian Yunqian, don''t attack first." At this time, Su Xiruo called out to him, and slowly walked towards the Chinese Kite.


    "Xiruo, be careful, that''s a Six Rank Spiritual Beast!" Helian Yunqian was worried that she would be in danger, and quickly warned her.


    Without a trace of fear, Su Xiruo walked to the Chinese Kite''s side and squatted down. After being frightened, the Chinese Kite slipped into Su Xiruo''s sleeve like a wisp of smoke.


    Su Xiruo looked down and saw that the Chinese Kite was hidden in her sleeves, its body was still trembling slightly.


    The Chinese Kite was also helpless, it did not expect such a strong guy to appear all of a sudden. Even if it took all of its life, it was unlikely that it would be a match for this guy.


    As such, he decided not to fight head on and say something good.


    "Helian Yunqian, it doesn''t seem to have any malicious intentions. Since it said that it can help you purify the poison just now, why not let it try?" Su Xiruo was still a little worried about the poison in his body.


    This Chinese Kite belonged to the water attribute, so it did have a certain level of recovery ability for poison and injuries. Thus, she believed in the words that the Chinese Kite said just now.


    "Mm, as long as you don''t kill me, I can do whatever you want." The Chinese Kite nodded its head with all its might. That foolish and cute way it acted, it didn''t seem like a Sixth Rank expert at all.


    Originally, Helian Yunqian didn''t want to believe anything it said, but since Xi Ruo had said it, he didn''t refuse it, "Then let it try!"


    "Come on out." Su Xiruo said to the sleeves, his voice still rather gentle.


    "Alright." Only then did the Chinese Kite carefully crawl out, fly beside Helian Yunqian, and stop on his shoulders. The Spiritual Strength slowly entered his body.


    Helian Yunqian closed his eyes and felt that the poison in his body was indeed being cleansed little by little.


    This little guy was actually secretly absorbing his Spiritual Strength?


    Sensing the abnormality, Helian Yunqian immediately sent the Chinese Kite flying with a slap. The Chinese Kite fell to the ground and spat out blood: "Mercy, my lord, I did not do it on purpose!"


    The Chinese Kite struggled on the ground for a while, before the Spiritual Strength around its body started to condense crazily, as if it was about to condense to the extreme, and then all of it was absorbed.


    Su Xiruo could feel that the Spiritual Strength on the Chinese Kite seemed to be a lot stronger than before.


    Had he advanced?


    He never thought that Helian Yunqian''s little bit of Spiritual Strength would actually help a Six Rank Spiritual Beast level up. It could be seen how profound his Spiritual Strength was.


    The Chinese Kite rushed forward to express her gratitude: "Thank you Sir, I was able to advance to the high level Sixth Rank Spiritual Beast today, all thanks to Sir''s help."


    Helian Yunqian could feel that the poison in his body had truly disappeared, and stopped pursuing the fact that it had just absorbed a little of the Spiritual Strength. After all, it wasn''t likely that the little guy had cleared his poison for nothing.


    "You actually lied to us!" Seeing the situation, Su Xiruo was displeased.


    "No, no, no, I really didn''t do it on purpose." "I''ve been stuck in this hurdle for a long time, unable to break through even after a long time. And now, thanks to Master''s help, I can return whatever you want!"


    The Chinese Kite''s tone of voice was sincere, and indeed did not seem like she was lying.


    "We were entrusted by someone to take your life." Helian Yunqian did not conceal his intentions in the slightest.


    "This ¡­" The Chinese Kite seemed to have guessed something, "Did the Nether Python send you here?"


    Other than the Nether Python, it really could not think of any other enemies it had in this cave.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, and changed the topic, "However, I have changed my mind now."


    "As long as you spare my life, I will do anything." The Chinese Kite was still a little afraid, afraid that this guy would use an even more cruel method to torture her.


    Su Xiruo glanced at it, and then stated the truth: "That Nether Python trapped our friend, and made it a condition that we take your Beast Core as a condition ¡­"


    Hearing that, the Chinese Kite seemed to be angry: "Heh, that despicable person called Nether Python, is not my opponent, so you''re using such a despicable method? You must not believe it, it has too many schemes and tricks! "


    "Then, why should we trust you?" Su Xiruo intentionally asked this, probably to force the Chinese Kite to give them a clear path.


    The Chinese Kite''s mind stirred, and immediately understood Su Xiruo''s meaning, and asked them: "Let me ask you, your friends, are they trapped in the same cage as the Nether Python?"


    "That''s right."


    "Heh, I knew it." The Chinese Kite snorted disdainfully, "Don''t be anxious, I can tell you the mechanism of this cage. As long as you don''t kill me, I can help you save your friends."


    "Xiruo, be careful of his scheming." Helian Yunqian did not want to hear it speak so much nonsense.


    "General Helian, I think it is considered sincere. Why don''t we just listen to its story?" Su Xiruo really wanted to fight it out in his heart.


    After all, it was just as the Chinese Kite said, the Nether Python was sinister and cunning. Even if they were to go over to take the Chinese Kite, the Nether Python probably would not let them go.


    Therefore, they might as well gamble, the life of the Chinese Kite was in their hands, they should not speak carelessly.


    "Yes."


    "Actually, there''s a very hidden mechanism under the iron cage. As long as you go and trigger the mechanism, the concealed weapons around the cage will automatically disappear." Then, the Chinese Kite patiently explained to them, "How about this, you guys can bring me along. Whether it''s true or not, as long as it''s tested, then we''ll know.


    That sincere look, made it hard for people to reject him, Helian Yunqian thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Alright, I will give you this chance."


    Thus, the Chinese Kite followed suit and went into Su Xiruo''s sleeves: "I will hide inside."


    "General Helian." Su Xiruo seemed to have an idea in his heart, "I''ll trouble you to deal with the Nether Python later. I''ll take this opportunity to look for a mechanism and rescue Sparks and the Duke."


    "Alright." He didn''t have any objections.


    The two of them continued their journey back. Since they were going back the same way, they did not encounter any difficulties or obstacles along the way.


    At that time, the Nether Python was already impatient where it was standing, as it wriggled back and forth. It was probably because it was worried that they would not return.


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were in the cage muttering something.


    "A Xi, tell me, will Big Brother and the others encounter any sort of danger? It''s been so long, and they still haven''t come back yet." Ye Zhuozhuo''s voice was soft and filled with worry.


    "I''m not sure." Mu Lingxi was also well aware of the dangers of this cave.


    If something were to happen to Yun Qian and the rest, the four of them would not be able to leave this place.


    "Hey, what are you guys chattering about?" When the Nether Python heard the chattering, its already agitated mood became even more unhappy, "Let me tell you this, if they were to escape in the middle of the road, the both of you will die!"


    Mu Lingxi snorted. "Heh, if they don''t come back, you''ll die sooner or later too, what are you so proud of?"


    "Shut up!" The Nether Python felt a sore spot after he said that, and immediately scolded.


    Indeed, if even they could not handle the Chinese Kite, then he would probably die at the hands of the Chinese Kite sooner or later.


    "How about this?" Mu Lingxi then grabbed onto Nether Python''s attitude, and said while stroking the vine, "Release us first, I will go find them with Scorching Flame, maybe we can help them a little, it''s better than just standing here and waiting."

 C44

    The Nether Python''s first reaction was to refuse: "No! Stop playing around with me. If I let you out and you run away, then who am I going to find? "


    "You are just a Six Rank Spiritual Beast. Are you worried that we will run away?" Ye Zhuozhuo could not bear to listen any longer, this guy was being too cautious.


    "Hmph. Whatever you want to say, I will absolutely not let you out. If they truly die, then you can only blame their bad luck." Nether Python still chose to be safe, and did not dare to easily agree to their request.


    Ye Zhuozhuo was both anxious and angry in his heart: "Hurry and let us out of here, if anything happens to my brother and Ruo Ruo, will you be able to take responsibility of it?"


    "Shining, don''t touch the cage!" Mu Lingxi immediately pulled her hand, preventing her from touching the cage.


    Once touched, it would trigger an infinite number of traps!


    "You guys be good and stay here. If you keep making a ruckus, I''ll skin you alive!" The Nether Python was getting impatient, and as it spoke, it flung a force into the iron cage.


    Just as the powerful Spiritual Strength was about to land on the two of them, it was intercepted, and Helian Yunqian and Su Xiruo appeared.


    "Nether Python, you dare to take advantage of the fact that we''re not here and secretly hurt people. Su Xiruo could not help but curse.


    It was fortunate that they managed to make it in time. If not, they would have been severely injured.


    "Who told you all to not return after such a long time? I thought you all had gone back on your word." The Nether Python had its own excuse, and looked like it had a reason, "What, did you bring the Chinese Kite back?"


    Helian Yunqian''s eyes that seemed to be as calm as water now had a tinge of killing intent in them. Her thin lips moved slightly, as if nothing had happened.


    "Then hurry up and give it to me. If you want to save the two of them, then don''t dawdle!" The Nether Python was clearly excited, she never thought that they would actually be able to do it.


    Helian Yunqian turned his head and looked Su Xiruo in the eye. Both of them understood that they were going to work together according to the agreement.


    "Alright, but you have to catch it. I''m worried that you won''t be able to take it." Helian Yunqian took a step forward and took something out from his sleeve.


    The Nether Python could clearly feel the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, and it immediately became even more excited. "Quick, quickly hand it over!"


    Helian Yunqian lifted his hand, and the concealed weapon that carried the Spiritual Strength, flew out in a sudden attack without any chance of reacting and pierced into the eyes of the Nether Python.


    In a split-second, blood splattered everywhere. Accompanied by the cries of the Nether Python, it went berserk, and began swinging its tail crazily. The surrounding caves and rocks collapsed, as if an earthquake had occurred.


    "Damn humans, you are courting death!"


    Helian Yunqian did not slack, he immediately jumped up, a weapon appeared in his hand, and he stabbed straight into the Nether Python''s body.


    Su Xiruo saw that they were fighting and took the chance to get close to the cage. The Chinese Kite also flew out from her sleeves stealthily.


    "Humph, what retribution!" When the Chinese Kite saw that its Nether Python was at a disadvantage, it could not help but taunt.


    "Tell me, where is the mechanism mechanism!" What Su Xiruo was most concerned about right now was still this. After all, she was worried that the Nether Python would attack the cage crazily later on.


    "Down here, this way." The Chinese Kite''s nimble and agile body circled in the air, telling Su Xiruo that he had found the mechanism.


    After fumbling for a long time, Su Xiruo finally found the mechanism, and used all his strength, but only managed to activate a little. It seemed like it was still not good to open the mechanism, and would need a little more time!


    "Use more strength!" The Chinese Kite hurriedly reminded.


    At this time, the Nether Python''s body fell to the ground. When it saw Su Xiruo moving the cage, it became extremely anxious and stood up as if it had gone mad.


    Su Xiruo frowned, she knew that if the Nether Python attacked the iron cage, with its strength, it would probably trigger all the hidden mechanisms and weapons in the blink of an eye.


    If that were the case, the crown prince and Radiant Prince would definitely be injured. Furthermore, they would be seriously injured as well.


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo did not hesitate at all. He moved his body to the side and used all his strength to activate the mechanism, and at the same time used his own body to block the attack of the Nether Python.


    With a kacha sound, the mechanism was opened. Su Xiruo''s vision turned black and he completely lost consciousness.


    She only felt that her body was very heavy, as if she had lost her center of gravity. She kept falling, falling to a place that she had no idea she was falling to.


    She could vaguely hear someone calling her name, but in the end, someone still lightly closed their eyes, no longer knowing anything.


    When he opened his eyes again, Su Xiruo felt a headache. He opened his eyes in a daze and took a look at his surroundings.


    He saw a white tent curtain in front of him, a simple and luxurious ceiling, and a green jade floor. With a single glance, he could tell that she had already left the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and was in a foreign place.


    She wanted to get up and get out of bed, but she felt a dull pain in her chest, as if she had suffered an internal injury.


    She slowly recalled what happened before she fainted. She remembered that when they were fighting with Nether Python and she blocked the Nether Python''s attack on the cage with her body, she was heavily injured and she was unconscious.


    But now, after waking up, she felt that the injuries on her body had actually healed quite a bit.


    However, she did not know what sort of place this was.


    "Miss Su, you''re awake!" Maidservant heard the commotion and hurried over.


    "What is this place?" Su Xiruo only wanted to know where he was brought to.


    "Miss Su, this is General''S Estate." The Maidservant answered honestly.


    "General''S Estate ¡­" Su Xiruo repeated these three words thoughtfully. He was a little surprised, but he knew that it was within reason.


    Maidservant nodded his head lightly: "Miss Su, our general has ordered that when little miss wakes up, we will immediately tell him. Please wait for a moment, this servant will call the general over immediately!"


    With that, without waiting for Su Xiruo to speak, the little Maidservant ran out of the room.


    After a while, Helian Yunqian came in, holding a bowl of medicine.


    "Why am I at General''S Estate? Are they all right? " Su Xiruo slowly sat up from the bed. Seeing him walk closer, he was actually still a little nervous.


    She lowered her head slightly and saw that she was wearing a pink and white dress.


    "They''re fine now. This is my room. Your clothes were changed for you by Blazing, so there''s no need to think too much about it." Helian Yunqian seemed to have seen through all of her worries, hence he explained everything clearly.


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief, but then, he realized that something was amiss.


    "This... Is this your room? " Su Xiruo''s mind went blank, no matter what he said, she was still considered the young lady. Lying in a man''s room like this, was too disrespectful.


    Helian Yunqian shook his head, with an innocent look on his face: "Yesterday you were severely injured, and the situation is critical, I did not think about it much, and directly brought you to my room."


    Normally, not just anyone could enter his room, especially women!


    This reason sounded reasonable, so Su Xiruo had nothing else to refute. He could only thank him first: "Then thank you."


    "There''s no need to be courteous. Since you were injured while saving my sister, it should be me who should be thanking you." Helian Yunqian slowly walked up and sat down on the side of the bed, "This is a Healing Drug that is being fried for you. Drink the medicine first."


    His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, and actually made Su Xiruo somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

 C45

    Before Su Xiruo could say anything, Helian Yunqian placed the spoon next to her mouth: "Come."


    The warmth in his eyes was like a clear stream that could slowly warm his heart.


    For a moment, Su Xiruo felt as if his brain had short-circuited. He secretly glanced at his beautiful face which was only inches away from hers, and actually did not resist, as he obediently drank it down.


    That medicine didn''t seem to be as bitter as she had imagined.


    After that, he patiently fed her the entire bowl of soup. From afar, the two of them looked like a couple that were cuddling together.


    After drinking the soup, Su Xiruo clearly felt that the injuries in his body had healed a lot. It seemed that the shining medicine was still quite useful.


    "Thank you, but I need to go back now." Su Xiruo was still worried about the condition of the Old Mistress and wanted to quickly go back and settle this issue.


    "You don''t have to hurry back." Helian Yunqian said indifferently, "Brilliant, you are a doctor. You can go back after recuperating from your injuries at the General''S Estate. Why are you in such a hurry to go back to see your father who is in a bad mood?"


    Su Xiruo could not help but smile and tactfully declined: "Thank you for your good intentions, but I still want to return as soon as possible. I still have some matters of my own that I need to settle, so I won''t trouble you guys any longer."


    He had slept in Helian Yunqian''s room for the entire night. If this news were to spread, he would not have the face to meet anyone!


    "Alright, since you have your own matters to attend to, then I won''t force you." Helian Yunqian knew that he couldn''t stay even if he wanted to, so he didn''t say anything more.


    Su Xiruo got up and wanted to get off the bed, but his legs seemed to have lost all of their strength, as he stepped on empty air, and his slender body instantly lost its center of gravity, falling down.


    In the next second, Helian Yunqian was holding her waist in his hands. Although he wasn''t facing the ground, she had an inertia. She landed in Helian Yunqian''s embrace, and her lips collided with his.


    The little soft body fell into his arms and filled him with joy, and he swore to himself that he would have this woman.


    Time seemed to have frozen, but for some reason, if Su Xiruo normally encountered such a situation, he would not even dare to think about it, and would be extremely unwilling.


    But at this moment, when she actually experienced it once, she suddenly felt that this feeling wasn''t as bad as she had imagined. She was even a little excited inside.


    What had happened to him?


    However, her rationality immediately woke Su Xiruo up. She quickly got up, and unexpectedly felt her face burning, and her heart pounding even more.


    "Are you alright?"


    "I''m fine!" Su Xiruo subconsciously retreated a little. She didn''t even know that she would have such a tense moment.


    Helian Yunqian seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and couldn''t help but sneer: "I''ll get the maid to put the clean clothes on the bed for you. You should change first, and get dressed in a while, I''ll send you back!"


    There was no tone of agreement in his tone.


    Before Su Xiruo could reject her, Helian Yunqian had already left the room.


    Sitting on the bed, she was slightly relieved.


    What had just happened, what was going through his mind?


    No, stop thinking about it. How could she have any feelings for that man? It was just an illusion!


    Su Xiruo shook his head, trying his best to restrain his thoughts, not allowing himself to think about all this nonsense.


    Therefore, after changing her clothes, she pushed open the door. Helian Yunqian was standing outside the door waiting for her.


    Hearing some movements, Helian Yunqian turned around and saw that Su Xiruo was dressed in a butterfly sleeve, flowing moon pink dress. Her hair was simply tied up with a silver hairpin, she looked elegant and refined, beautiful and charming.


    "General Helian, is there something on my face?" Su Xiruo purposely used these words to interrupt his thoughts.


    Staring at him like that made him feel uncomfortable.


    Only after receiving Su Xiruo''s reminder, did he come back to his senses and indifferently said: "Let''s go."


    Su Xiruo obediently followed behind him, feeling completely able to accept this feeling.


    Su residence.


    "General Helian, send him here, then you can go back." For him to send him all the way back, Su Xiruo felt quite embarrassed in his heart.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not reject, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeves and handed it over to her.


    Su Xiruo received the porcelain bottle, and said thanks. His heart seemed to have slowly started to not reject the feeling of Yue Yang treating him like this, and instead liked the feeling.


    "Then I''ll go back first. You should also go back quickly." Su Xiruo did not bother being polite with him, and after waving goodbye, she entered the Su residence alone.


    And at this time, what she did not know was that the moment she stepped into the room, Su Yuanqing had coincidentally seen her.


    "Xiruo."


    Su Xiruo stopped in his tracks, and upon seeing that it was Su Yuanqing, he became displeased. "Old master, is there something you need?"


    She secretly glanced at Su Yuanqing from the corner of her eyes. Although her wife and daughter had just met with mishap, there was no trace of worry or sadness on his face. At most, he had gotten more haggard just to worry about this matter.


    Looks like Su Yuanqing was born cold-blooded, and only cared about himself! Such a person was not worth sympathizing with!


    "Where have you been these past few days?" Father even thought that you had already left the Su Residence. " Su Yuanqing''s tone was unexpectedly very gentle, as if he was trying to win her over.


    "There''s something I need to do outside." Su Xiruo''s answer was simple and concise.


    "Father just saw the General Helian sending you back. Did you guys go out together?" Su Yuanqing asked casually. Actually, he was most concerned about this question.


    Just now, when Su Xiruo was outside the Su Palace, he could see that every single move of the General Helian seemed to have some affection for his daughter.


    Although Pang Xi had ruined Prime Minister''S Estate''s reputation now, if Xi Ruo could climb onto the General Helian, it would be a happy occasion for them.


    If he couldn''t count on one daughter, he could only count on the other.


    Su Xiruo was naturally able to see through his thoughts, and coldly said: "General Helian was merely passing by, and sent me back."


    Her meaning was, she hoped that Su Yuanqing could give up on this idea!


    "So that''s how it is." Su Yuanqing nodded, afraid that she would be angry, so he stopped pursuing the matter, "Xiruo, you just came back, you should be tired. What do you want to eat, father will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."


    "No need." Su Xiruo interrupted him, looking ungrateful, "I''m a little tired, I just want to go back and rest. Old master, you don''t have to worry about that anymore."


    Throwing that sentence down, Su Xiruo left without turning back.


    She didn''t have the mood to continue acting with Su Yuanqing now. She only wanted to hurry back and concoct the poison. After she cured her grandmother''s insomnia, she would have to leave the Prime Minister''S Estate.


    As Su Yuanqing watched Su Xiruo''s leaving figure, he could not help but snort coldly, "Hmph, you really don''t know what''s good for you!"


    However, he was well aware that the current Su Xiruo, was someone he could not afford to offend. If she really managed to climb onto Helian Yunqian''s body, then he definitely could not afford to offend her.


    So right now, he had to think of a way to get on good terms with this girl, so that he could have a better conversation with her in the future.


    Su Xiruo went to the Old Mistress to chat for a while before returning to his courtyard to focus on concocting the poison.


    Just as she closed the door, she felt something was wrong. Her sleeve even moved a little.


    In the next second, a cyan bird flew out from her sleeve. It was the Chinese Kite, which gave her a big shock.


    "Chinese Kite, why are you here?" Su Xiruo was startled, and a little surprised.


    The Chinese Kite''s tiny body floated up: "I, staying in that place is too boring, and you all helped me get rid of my only opponent, the Nether Python. So, I wanted to leave the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and take a look at the world outside the mountain range."


    "You ¡­" Su Xiruo did not know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "So, you hid it in my sleeve, and let me bring you out?"

 C46

    "That''s right." The Chinese Kite landed in front of Su Xiruo happily, with an innocent look on its face, "I need to thank you. Back in the cave, if not for you stopping me, I probably would have died in that man''s hands. Now you''re willing to bring me out to take a look, I''m so happy!"


    That tone, it was as if he was a child and didn''t come out of the mouth of a Six Rank Spiritual Beast at all.


    In her heart, shouldn''t High Ranked spirit beasts be noble and cold? Why was it that its aura could not be seen at all?


    Out of curiosity, Su Xiruo probed: "Then, why don''t you look for your family, your brothers and sisters?"


    At this point, the Chinese Kite was stunned: "Since I was born, I have never seen my brothers and sisters, so I also want to leave the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, maybe one day, I will be able to find them in the outside world!"


    Then, the Chinese Kite approached Su Xiruo''s finger bones and said in a cute and spoiled tone: "How about this, you bring me along so that I can stay by your side. You, as the Spiritual Strength is weak, I can protect you, and I don''t understand the outside world, so we can help each other take care of each other."


    Being called a lowly Spiritual Strength by a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, no matter how unhappy he was, there was nothing to refute.


    Su Xiruo did not immediately agree. Instead, she curiously asked him, "I remember that when a spirit beast reaches the Sixth Rank, it will have intelligence and could take human form. How about, I see what your body really looks like?"


    "Huh?" Hearing this, the Chinese Kite did not know what to do, "But, I ¡­ I have never taken human form before, and I don''t even know what I look like.


    "I don''t care. If you want to follow me, let me see your body. Or else, if one day, you turn into a human and deceive me, I will not even know." Su Xiruo deliberately held back his laughter as he spoke slowly with a hint of ridicule.


    "Ai, alright then. I''ll show it to you then." The Chinese Kite was helpless and could only agree.


    A white light flashed around it. In an instant, its fair skin appeared in front of Su Xiruo and what entered his eyes was a slender youth. That delicate and pretty face of his looked like he was no more than 13 or 14 years old.


    The only eye-catching thing was that he was squatting on the ground, completely naked. In his eyes, there was even a hint of timidness. It was probably because he had never used this kind of method to properly see the world.


    Su Xiruo immediately stood up, took out a set of white embroidered clothes from the wardrobe at the side, and handed them over to the youth who was squatting on the ground: "Come, you should change into these clothes first."


    "Then turn around!" The youth''s tone was actually somewhat arrogant and spoiled.


    "Alright." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip. It was probably because he never thought that a spirit beast would actually care about this kind of thing.


    "Alright!"


    After a while, she turned her head and saw a young man with a delicate and pretty face. He was dressed in white and looked even more clean, as if he was an otherworldly man.


    "Why are you staring at me like that? Could it be that my ugly appearance frightened you?" The Chinese Kite was a little embarrassed. She touched her face and felt a little apprehensive.


    It was still a bit worried that its first owner would turn his back on it.


    "Of course not, you look good, that''s why I keep staring at you." Su Xiruo smiled.


    "Really?" The youth touched his own face, still in disbelief.


    "If you don''t believe me, then look for yourself." Su Xiruo pulled him over, and placed a copper mirror in front of him. That clear and beautiful face entered his eyes, and that youth heaved a sigh of relief.


    Luckily, it was not an ugly monster. Otherwise, it would have been despised by its master.


    "Tell me, do you have a name?" Su Xiruo was very curious about this question.


    "I don''t have a name." The youth had a confused expression. "Master, why don''t you take one for me?"


    To call him master so quickly, Su Xiruo was somewhat flattered.


    However, to let a Six Rank Spiritual Beast call her master, no matter what, was something she had profited from!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo pondered for a moment, then said: "Since that''s the case, then I will give you a human name."


    After all, he could not call him Chinese Kite in front of outsiders, right?


    "Sure, sure!" The youth looked at her expectantly.


    "In the future, when you transform into your human form, you will be called Mu Jin. How about it?" Su Xiruo even asked for her opinion.


    "Alright, Mu Jin, that''s a nice name." The youth seemed rather interested in his new name. "Master, so you''re saying that you''ll allow me to follow you from now on?"


    Su Xiruo nodded his head, "Mn, in the future, we will take care of each other."


    At this time, Qing Yuan''s voice came from outside the door: "Miss, who are you talking to?"


    "Come in!"


    Qing Yuan pushed the door and entered, scaring the teenager so much that he hurriedly turned into a small bird and hid into Su Xiruo''s sleeves.


    Qing Yuan seemed to have seen a shadow: "Miss, just now ¡­ Did I see something wrong? "


    "Mu Jin, don''t be afraid, we are all on the same side. Come out." Su Xiruo trusted Qing Yuan a lot in his heart.


    Following that, the Chinese Kite came out from her sleeve, turned into a handsome youth in white, and appeared in front of Qing Yuan.


    "Miss, this is... "What is this?" Qing Yuan was shocked.


    He was just an unremarkable little bird, how did he become a youth in the blink of an eye?


    After all, only spirit beasts with Sixth Rank and above could take human form.


    "This is the Chinese Kite, Mu Jin. I brought it back from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range." Su Xiruo then introduced them to each other, "Mu Jin, this is my subordinate, Qing Yuan."


    "Hello, Sister Qing Yuan." Mu Jin was rather polite, her small mouth was sweet.


    Qing Yuan laughed awkwardly: "You ¡­ You are a Six Rank Spiritual Beast? "


    "Yeah." Mu Jin nodded sincerely, as if he felt that the Six Rank Spiritual Beast was nothing much.


    ''s eyes immediately widened. Six Rank Spiritual Beast s were equivalent to the strength of a human''s Spirit Monarch. To be able to be used by the young miss by such a powerful guy, he was indeed extraordinary.


    Qing Yuan, I am going to start concocting the poison now, and it will take a few days. These few days, you will help me stand guard, and do not allow anyone else to get close, understand? Su Xiruo returned to the main topic at hand.


    This was her most urgent matter at the moment.


    "Yes, Miss. You can rest assured that you will be able to produce it." Qing Yuan patted his chest, looking extremely confident.


    "Then... Master, what can I do for you? " Mu Jin faintly said, as if he also wanted to do something for her.


    Su Xiruo thought about it carefully and instructed, "You ¡­ You just stay in the room and don''t let anyone near. "


    "Alright." Mu Jin was rather happy that her master was willing to trust her, "Master, with me here, no one can get close to you."


    Thus, Su Xiruo followed the plan and started to wholeheartedly refine the poison. She opened the Storage Ring and discovered that other than the three Rank 5 Beast Core, there was actually another Sixth Rank Beast Core inside!


    This should be the Nether Python of the Nether Python, Helian Yunqian must have definitely secretly put it in.


    Thinking up to here, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who had contributed the most to the battle along the way, but in the end, all of the Beast Core had fallen into her hands.


    "Nether Python." Seeing that Beast Core, Mu Jin could not help but shiver, "Master, just what strength does your friend have? It''s too terrifying."


    Even Six Rank Spiritual Beast could be killed in an instant, and he was currently a High Rank Spiritual Beast, so he could not even get close to that man.


    "I don''t know either, but don''t worry, he won''t hurt you." As Su Xiruo spoke, he took out a Rank 5 Beast Core, intending to use Rank 5 Beast Core as a medicinal catalyst first.


    With her current strength, she would probably not be able to use her Sixth Rank Beast Core to make poisons. However, he could keep it for now, and after his strength had improved, he would definitely be able to use it.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo had started to refine the poison, Mu Jin did not say anything else. He stood obediently to the side and focused on every single movement, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

 C47

    Three days later, after a failure, Su Xiruo finally managed to concoct the Rank 5 Poison, Soul Comforting Powder.


    At the same time, Mu Jin treated Su Xiruo''s internal injuries every day. In a short three days, most of the internal injuries on her body had healed and she wasn''t really injured anymore.


    "Master, you''ve succeeded!" Mu Jin stood at the side and watched, also feeling happy for her from the bottom of his heart.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo placed the Calm Soul Powder into a porcelain bottle and heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had completed some great matter.


    Just then, Qing Yuan walked in from outside and poured a cup of tea and passed it to Su Xiruo: "Miss, congratulations, you have finally succeeded!"


    Once this matter was completed, Miss could peacefully return to the Poison Sect.


    Su Xiruo got up, "I''ll go to Old Mistress right now."


    "Yes, Qing Yuan will go with you!"


    Thus, Su Xiruo brought Qing Yuan and went to request an audience with Old Mistress. When Old Mistress saw Su Xiruo, he was instantly overjoyed.


    "Grandma, Ruo Er missed you, so he naturally came over." Su Xiruo then sat down beside Old Mistress, and had Qing Yuan place the prepared pastries on the table beside him, "I got Qing Yuan to make you some pastries, they are all things that you like everyday."


    Old Mistress smiled until his eyes became slits, then nodded: "Ruo Er, you don''t have to work so hard."


    "Right." Su Xiruo feigned carelessness and took out the Soul-Rejuvenating Powder from his sleeves, "I recently obtained a new medicine that can cure your insomnia, why don''t you try it?"


    Old Mistress took a glance at the Soul-Rejuvenating Powder and he didn''t understand much about the medicine, but he still happily accepted his granddaughter''s good intentions. "Alright, Ruo Er, you''ve put in a lot of effort."


    Then, Old Mistress let out a helpless sigh. "If Wuxi is like you, who makes people feel less worried, then that''s good!"


    A few days ago, the news of Su Jinxi being in the palace had already spread into Old Mistress''s ears. Old Mistress naturally had a headache, but he also felt that Pang Xi had brought this upon herself!


    Qixi had always been an unbridled child. She did things without thinking of the consequences. Now that she had done something to offend the imperial family, she really had no brains.


    Su Xiruo squatted down and comforted her: "Grandma, don''t think too much. Ruo Er thought that if little sister was wronged, then she would be released one day. If little sister really did that, then it would be as if she deserved it."


    "Ah, yes." Old Mistress was a sensible person, so she held Su Xiruo''s little hand and said, "Ruo Er, Grandma knows that you have suffered a lot at Sumire Xi''s place since you were young. It is only right that she gets punished, but Granny only requests that you not kill her.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip: "Grandmother, don''t say it like that, since you asked, I will let her live."


    Actually, Old Mistress saw through the relationship between the two sisters, and just didn''t interfere, wanting the two of them to settle it themselves.


    "Ruo Er, I''ve wronged you." The Old Mistress sighed and held her in his arms, "From today onwards, as long as Grandmother is in the Su residence, no one will dare bully you."


    Su Xiruo only laughed. Since a young age, in the entire Prime Minister''S Estate, only her grandmother treated her well.


    But very quickly, she was about to leave the Prime Minister''S Estate, to go to an even wider place.


    Su Xiruo instructed the Old Mistress to consume the Soul-Rejuvenating Powder, and then left Old Mistress''s room. Just as he walked out, he realized that Qing Yuan had actually disappeared.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo became suspicious and returned to his own courtyard, only to discover that Qing Yuan had returned early.


    "Qing Yuan, where did you go?" Su Xiruo closed the door and asked softly.


    "Just now, the High Lord sent someone over." Qing Yuan''s voice was very soft.


    "What did High Lord say?" Su Xiruo asked.


    "High Lord told you to return to the Poison Sect if you have time in the next two days. He has something to tell you." Qing Yuan did not keep her in suspense and told her the truth.


    "Alright, I understand." Su Xiruo nodded, thinking that it was indeed time to go back for a bit.


    At this time, a Maidservant came in from outside the courtyard. "Miss, Second Miss of the Su Family, Su Biyue requests to see you."


    Su Xiruo snorted coldly, and immediately guessed that Su Biyue was here to ask for the other half of the antidote for her father.


    "Let her in." Thus, Su Xiruo agreed.


    Su Biyue was invited into the inner hall. He saw Su Xiruo sitting in the main seat, casually sipping his tea, and didn''t even bother to look at her: "What are you doing here? I remember that day in the cave, you were originally together with General Helian and I. In the end, the moment we met with danger, you disappeared. "


    Su Biyue bit his lower lip, his face flushed red as he explained: "Sister Cyril, that day, I was forced to do it, because my people had sent me a distress signal. At that time, the situation was critical, so I had no choice but to leave."


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile. After hearing her crappy excuse, he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to directly expose her, "Heh, alright."


    "I heard that Sister Cyril obtained a Rank 5 Beast Core, and now, you should have already treated Old Mistress''s illness according to my prescription, right?" Su Biyue asked while stroking the vines.


    Su Xiruo looked at her, and did not deny her. "I did create the Soul-Rejuvenating Powder, but I still have no idea what the result is, so I cannot give you the antidote."


    When he heard this, Su Biyue''s expression immediately changed. He looked a little anxious, but didn''t dare to show an angry look on his face, "Sister Cyril, a month has almost passed. If you don''t give my father the antidote, he''ll be in grave danger!"


    "I don''t care about that. If I give you the antidote now and the Soul-Rejuvenating Powder doesn''t work, then wouldn''t I be losing out?" Su Xiruo was not worried at all.


    As for Su Biyue, she seemed to be extremely anxious. "Sister Cyril, this Soul-Rejuvenating Powder is definitely effective. I can guarantee it with my own life, so believe me this time!"


    "Since you want me to believe you, then you should at least show some sincerity, right?" Su Xiruo glanced at her, as if he wanted to take this chance to extort from her.


    "Sister, please state your conditions. As long as it''s something I can do, I will definitely find a way to satisfy you." Su Biyue''s tone still sounded very sincere.


    Su Xiruo nodded his head lightly, "Alright, my conditions are not too overboard. As for now, I need some silver coins."


    From the moment she came out of Poison Sect, she found out that without silver, it would be hard to even take a single step in this place. Thus, if she had the silver already, it would save her a lot of trouble.


    "That''s fine, how much does sister need?" Su Biyue agreed quite straightforwardly.


    "Not much. Just give me a thousand gold." Su Xiruo opened his mouth gently.


    "One thousand gold!" Su Biyue''s eyes were wide opened.


    Even if her Su Family was huge, taking out a thousand gold could still be considered a huge sum of money.


    Su Xiruo saw her unwillingness and immediately changed his words, "It''s fine if you can''t take it out, I won''t force you."


    "No no no, one thousand taels of gold is one thousand taels of gold!" Su Biyue was afraid that she would go back on her words and immediately agreed, "As long as little sister is willing to hand over the antidote, my Su Family is willing to offer a thousand gold!"


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head: "Alright, since you''re so sincere, I''ll give you the antidote first. Then that thousand gold, you can send someone over to deliver it to me tomorrow."


    She was very confident, so she was not afraid that Su Biyue would go back on his words.


    With that, Su Xiruo took out a small porcelain bottle and threw it at Su Biyue. "The antidote is inside this bottle, you should go first!"


    Su Biyue opened the porcelain bottle and checked the antidote. Instantly, he felt a lot more relieved: "Younger sister, you''re so straightforward. I wonder if you''re willing to be friends with me?"


    Firstly, Su Xiruo''s strength was not ordinary, and secondly, if she made friends with Su Xiruo, she could get close to the person she wanted to get close to!


    Su Xiruo laughed: "Big Sister Bi Yue, do you think it''s possible for us to be friends?"

 C48

    Su Biyue knew that she would not easily agree so she changed the topic: "Little Sister is a smart person, and knows that in this world, there are no absolute friends, and no absolute enemies. In the future, how can little sister guarantee that I won''t be able to help you?"


    The meaning behind her words was very simple. It was, after becoming friends with me, I will have ways to help you in the future.


    Su Xiruo nodded, hearing her be honest, his heart actually felt a little better, "Alright, since that''s what you think, then I''ll be friends with you."


    She was just a friend in cooperation, that was something she could clearly distinguish.


    Seeing that she had agreed, Su Biyue was all smiles: "Since that is the case, I will not disturb my sister anymore. Tomorrow, I will definitely get someone to deliver a thousand gold taels on time."


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not have the intention to send her off and watched her leave.


    After Su Biyue left, Mu Jin came out from her sleeves and took human form.


    "Mu Jin, why are you in human form again?" Su Xiruo kept having the feeling that this guy had been in human form way too frequently recently. She almost forgot about his identity as a spirit beast.


    "I suddenly feel like being a person is pretty fun." Mu Jin happily sat down on his seat, "Master, who was that woman just now?


    Su Xiruo then explained to him: "Hmm, this kind of woman is too scheming, in the future, you just need to remember, don''t come into contact with this kind of woman."


    "Oh, I remember." Mu Jin very simply nodded.


    "Alright, you have to go out now. Stay in this room and don''t go anywhere else. Do you understand?" Su Xiruo still couldn''t quite let him go.


    When he heard that Master was going out, Mu Jin was immediately a little unhappy. "Master, where are you going?


    "I can''t bring you with me this time, but I promise you that I will be back very soon." When Su Xiruo thought about returning to the Poison Sect, he decided not to bring Mu Jin along.


    After all, with his foster father''s strength, he would definitely be able to tell that Mu Jin was a High Ranked Spirit Beast, and he had always been infatuated with this High Ranked Spirit Beast''s Beast Core.


    Therefore, for the sake of safety, he decided not to take the risk.


    "I want to go with you. If you encounter any danger, I can protect you." Mu Jin was unwilling to let it go, as if he felt that he was about to be abandoned by his master.


    "Are you still going to listen to me?" Su Xiruo smelled it seriously.


    Mu Jin slowly released his hand. Although he felt wronged, he was worried that she would be angry, so he could only agree. "Alright then, then ¡­ Master, you must be careful! "


    "Yes." Su Xiruo stood up, and seeing that Qing Yuan was just about to enter, she said to her, "Qing Yuan, it''s enough for me to go back to Poison Sect by myself, you stay here with Mu Jin, remember, do not let Mu Jin come find me!"


    "Yes, xiaojie, rest assured!"


    Then, Su Xiruo turned to look at Mu Jin, and turned to leave the room.


    "Big Sister Qing Yuan, what kind of place is Poison Sect?" Mu Jin curiously asked. If Master goes, will there be any danger? "


    This name did not sound like an ordinary place.


    For a moment, Qing Yuan did not know how to explain things to him. "It''s just a place to be named, master will be fine.


    "I want to go out for a walk." Mu Jin was unable to sit still for even a moment, "Sister Qing Yuan, please let me out!"


    "That won''t do. Miss has already instructed, you can''t run around, I ¡­" Before Qing Yuan could finish his words, Mu Jin lightly tapped him on the shoulder and he fainted.


    Mu Jin carried Qing Yuan onto the bed and said embarrassedly: "Sister Qing Yuan, I can only let you down for a bit. I have to secretly follow master, if not, I won''t be able to relax, I won''t be able to sit still!"


    After explaining everything, Mu Jin did not delay any further and turned into a small bird, flying out of the window and leaving the courtyard.


    Poison Sect.


    A gloomy atmosphere blew over everyone. Despite the extravagance of the palace, there were not many people guarding it. As soon as they walked in, they could feel a gloomy and cold aura emanating from it.


    "Young master." All of the bodyguards on the way bowed to Su Xiruo. She was alone, as she arrived at a remote little hall.


    "Young master, High Lord has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Please quickly go in!"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded and carefully knocked on the door, "Father, can I come in?"


    "Come in." The old man''s voice was sonorous and powerful.


    With the permission of his foster father, Su Xiruo pushed open the door and entered the palace. The palace wasn''t big, and emitted a faint fragrance, but it was repressed and sinister.


    He was dressed in black, and he even coughed twice from time to time. He looked a bit haggard, and said, "Xiruo, you''re finally back. Come, quickly come to father''s side."


    Su Xiruo then went forward, "Foster father ¡­"


    "How many times have I told you? Just call me father. In your heart, am I not comparable to your father?" The old man smiled, but his tone sounded kind.


    "Father ¡­" After a long while, Su Xiruo finally called out these two words. He felt that he was probably not used to it, "Father treats me as if I''m a mountain; in my heart, I have long since treated you as my biological father."


    He was the one who saved him from danger and allowed him to cultivate the Spiritual Strength. For the past year, he treated like his own daughter and even intended to teach him the art of cultivation.


    "Have you finished your own things? "Cough, cough ¡­"


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo hurriedly asked with concern, "Father, what''s wrong, are your injuries still recovering?"


    She remembered that when she left the Poison Sect, her father had been heavily injured because he had cultivated in the devil way. She didn''t expect that even after one or two months, he still hadn''t gotten any better.


    "Sigh, Xi Ruo, this internal injury of mine probably won''t heal up that easily." Poison Sovereign sighed helplessly, "If I can''t get treatment, I''m afraid... His life won''t be long. "


    "Is it that serious?" Su Xiruo was a little worried and helped to check his pulse. He immediately felt that Poison Sovereign''s pulse was extremely abnormal, as if it could break at any time.


    In other words, his father''s life could be in danger at any moment!


    Thus, she asked, "Is there any way to treat your injuries?"


    "There is a prescription within. However, the medicinal herbs required are too precious and I am unable to obtain it." Poison Sovereign held Su Xiruo''s hand, "Forget about it, Xiruo, I''m already old enough to live but this time, I''ll resign myself to fate. If I really die, I''ll be at ease if you help me manage this Poison Sect."


    "Father, don''t say that!" Su Xiruo immediately cut him off, "If you need any medicinal ingredients, just tell me, even if I have to go to heaven, I will think of a way to find them and give them to you!"


    The debt of gratitude she owed her father was as heavy as a mountain, so no matter what, she had to think of a way to heal her father''s internal injuries!


    "This is the medicinal formula from the Venerable Alchemist." Poison Sovereign passed the prescription to Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo took a rough look at the prescription. Without exception, all of them were medicinal ingredients of Sixth Rank and above. Amongst them, the two most difficult to obtain were the Seventh Rank medicinal ingredients, the Heart Refining Orchid and the Yin Attribute''s Seventh Rank Beast Core!


    Seventh Rank medicine could be said to be an existence that was as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns, not to mention any specific medicine!


    And a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast, was to hunt a High Ranked Spirit Beast which was equivalent to the strength of a human Spirit Sovereign, so the difficulty could be imagined!


    Moreover, the attributes of normal spirit beasts were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Yin Attribute and Yang attributes were all extremely rare attributes!


    Looking for the Seventh Rank Spirit Beast of the Yin Attribute, then defeating it and taking its Beast Core sounded like a fantasy.


    "This prescription ¡­" "It really is a bit difficult." Su Xiruo sighed lightly.


    "It''s actually not that hard to say." Poison Sovereign seemed to have his own ideas.

 C49

    "Father, what is your plan? Tell your daughter that she will do her best to look for these medicinal herbs! " Su Xiruo was still very willing to serve his father.


    Poison Sovereign continued, "Although these Sixth Rank Herbs are also rare, they shouldn''t be too difficult for you to find. As for the Heart Refining Orchid, although it is extremely rare, you can use another Seventh Rank herb, Flying Feather Spirit!"


    "But, as another Seventh Rank herb, shouldn''t the rarity of the Heart Refining Orchid and the Feather Flying Feather be about the same?" Su Xiruo could not understand why his father would want to find such a substitute. "Could it be that you know the way to obtain the Flying Feather?"


    "That''s right!" Poison Sovereign nodded, "Xiruo, do you know about Fine Star Continent?"


    "Heard of it." Su Xiruo still knew a bit about Mercenary Academy.


    The Mercenary Academy was established by the Mercenary Guild and is used to train outstanding mercenaries for their Mercenary Guild. The overall strength of the Mercenary Academy is ranked high in the entire continent.


    Furthermore, many large clans had sharpened their heads and wanted to send their children into the Mercenary Academy. The incomparably harsh conditions made many clans cower in fear.


    "Inside the Mercenary Academy, a great competition will be held every three years, and all students are allowed to participate. There is still about a year or so until the next great competition, and the prize for first place in the great competition will be Flying Feather!" Poison Sovereign looked at Su Xiruo with his pitch-black pupils, as if he wanted to say something.


    "Father wants me to register my Mercenary Academy?" Su Xiruo finally understood what he meant.


    "That''s right. In less than ten days, the Mercenary Guild will begin to enroll new students into the various empires." Poison Sovereign lightly patted her shoulder, his eyes filled with hope. "Xiruo, I believe with your talent, you will definitely be able to get the first place in the competition one year from now!"


    Su Xiruo was startled, for a moment, he did not know how to reply: "This Mercenary Academy expert is as numerous as the clouds, with my current strength, I am afraid I am nothing, but since father said it, I will do my best to obtain the Flying Feather Spirit!"


    Even if she knew that the strong were everywhere in that place, for the sake of her father''s illness, she had to win even if not win!


    "Good child, with these words of yours, father is relieved." Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Poison Sovereign was also happy in his heart, "As for that Beast Core, Xiruo, even if father hadn''t said it, you still would have known what to do, right?"


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, confused. "Please enlighten me, father."


    "You already have a Spirit Beast by your side, this way, you don''t need to waste time searching for it yourself!" Poison Sovereign blurted out.


    Su Xiruo was slightly nervous. Was the Spirit Beast his father was talking about Helian Yunqian?


    Indeed, after witnessing how many times Helian Yunqian had attacked her from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, she was able to guess that Helian Yunqian should have a cultivation level above the Sixth Rank. It was very possible that he was already a Spirit Sovereign, which was equivalent to a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast!


    And he, just so happened to be a rare Yin Attribute!


    "No way." For some reason, Su Xiruo subconsciously covered up his words, as he did not want to speak the truth.


    The smile of the Poison Sovereign stiffened at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be somewhat unhappy: "Xiruo, do you really not know, or are you pretending to be stupid? That Helian Yunqian is a spirit beast, and in these past few days, I have been sending people to follow you secretly.


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo was momentarily unable to calm down.


    Not to mention how many times he had saved her, but even though she had rejected Helian Yunqian''s confession many times, after such a long time of interaction, she more and more felt that she did not have any feelings of rejection towards him.


    On the other hand, when she was with him, she would sink into an uncontrollable joy. She didn''t want to hurt the person she was clearly feeling in her heart!


    "I''m afraid that my daughter can''t do it. Father, please forgive me!"


    Su Xiruo''s answer was very straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.


    "Why?" Poison Sovereign''s expression did not look good.


    "Because ¡­" Su Xiruo stammered, and randomly found an excuse, "My daughter''s Spiritual Strength is low, she is not his match, so I am afraid we cannot do this!"


    Poison Sovereign let out a light sigh, and her tone became serious. She asked: "Xiruo, tell me, do you like him?"


    Hearing this question, Su Xiruo''s mind went blank, he did not know how to answer this question.


    When she was asked whether she liked Helian Yunqian, her first reaction was actually not to immediately deny it. Scenes of his exquisite face suddenly surfaced in her mind, and those fragmented memories also gradually surfaced!


    That''s right, she had to admit that she did somewhat like Helian Yunqian, it was just that she didn''t realise it herself. Only when she was forced like this by someone, would she be able to clearly recognize the true feelings she had towards him!


    However, under these circumstances, Su Xiruo naturally could not admit it in front of the Poison Sovereign: "Father is joking, how could I possibly like him? It''s just that he has saved me a few times and his sister and I are good friends for many years.


    Poison Sovereign nodded his head, and explained to her: "So that''s what you''re worried about, then it doesn''t matter. Father will tell you, you took Helian Yunqian''s Beast Core, and won''t take his life.


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones tightened into a ball, and his heart immediately fell into a dilemma.


    She knew that wanting to find a Spirit Beast was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, without the potion, her father wouldn''t be able to live much longer.


    However, if she were to make a move against Helian Yunqian, she really wouldn''t be able to do it. Even if it meant taking her life, she wouldn''t be able to do such a thing.


    Thus, Su Xiruo immediately knelt down, and spoke with a sincere tone: "Father, you can let me help you climb the mountain of blades and descend the ocean of flames, I can think of another way, and only this matter, I really cannot do it!"


    A cold light flashed through Poison Sovereign''s eyes, before they turned into helplessness once more, "Forget it, Xiruo, father knows that you are a loyal and loyal person, so since you are unable to do so, father will not force you to do so. Just leave father to fend for himself!"


    Because he was emotional, Poison Sovereign started to cough severely. He coughed out blood and looked haggard.


    "Father, father, how are you?" Su Xiruo was also very worried.


    "No problem, the lifespan of the left will only be one year." The Poison Sovereign looked helpless, "It''s better than forcing you to do something you don''t want to do."


    "Father, your daughter is unfilial!" Su Xiruo''s fingernails almost sunk into his flesh as he slowly blamed himself in his heart.


    That year, her father had taken care of her and cleaned up a mess for her. But now, even such a small matter was impossible for her to do for her father. She was truly ashamed!


    "Never mind, you can go now!" Poison Sovereign waved his hand, obviously a little disappointed.


    Su Xiruo was unwilling to leave, and said: "Father, you can leave the matter of the medicinal catalyst to me, but as for the Beast Core, I will definitely think of a way to get it, if I am unable to get it, and then according to what you have said, I will just go and get Helian Yunqian''s Beast Core!"


    She mustered a great deal of courage to speak these words. Her eyes reddened slightly, and her heart felt extremely sad.


    She had to think of a way to obtain a set of s from other places. This way, she could not only save Helian Yunqian, but also save her father''s life!


    When Poison Sovereign heard her, his expression changed instantly. "My good daughter, quickly get up."


    He helped Su Xiruo up, and said earnestly: "Father really isn''t forcing you, but now, there''s nothing I can do. You''re not even full yet, and if Father dies like this, I''m worried that you won''t be able to take on the responsibility!"

 C50

    "Father, don''t worry. Within a year, I will definitely find all these medicinal ingredients for you." Su Xiruo looked into his eyes, her tone filled with determination.


    "Fine, this can be considered as father''s test for you." Poison Sovereign was still quite satisfied with her words, "However, when you go to register your Mercenary Academy, you cannot use the name of a Poison Sect disciple."


    "I know." Su Xiruo was very clear on this point.


    Mercenary Academy was established by Mercenary Group, which was also what the people of the continent called "famous and upright", and in the eyes of the various sects and clans, Poison Sect was an unorthodox and unconventional method.


    If she had to use the name of a Poison Sect disciple, she probably wouldn''t even be able to pass the first round.


    "I''ll register in the name of the Su Clan. That way, it''ll be reasonable." Su Xiruo seemed to have already made his own plans in his heart.


    Poison Sovereign nodded his head: "Okay, why don''t you just do what you have to do. Xiruo, what father wants to tell you today, that''s all."


    Su Xiruo''s hands tightly gripped the medicinal formula, but she didn''t know how heavy her heart was. She knew that she had the heavy responsibility this time, she couldn''t slack off in the slightest.


    After leaving the Poison Sect, Su Xiruo was not in a good mood the whole way back. He returned to the Prime Minister''S Estate in a daze, only to discover that Qing Yuan had actually fallen on his bed, while Mu Jin was already nowhere to be seen.


    She anxiously walked forward and patted Qing Yuan''s body: "Qing Yuan, wake up!"


    Qing Yuan vaguely heard the commotion and slowly woke up. He did not know what exactly had happened, "Young miss ¡­"


    "What''s wrong with you, where''s Mu Jin?" Su Xiruo suddenly had a bad premonition and asked.


    "Mu Jin..." Qing Yuan carefully thought back, as if he had thought of something, "Oh right! Even Mu Jin, ran out herself after she knocked me out. I don''t know what happened afterwards! "


    "What?" Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, he was anxious, "Didn''t we ask him to stay here properly? "Why did he run out in the blink of an eye?"


    Qing Yuan bit his lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed. "I''m sorry, young miss, it''s all my fault for being careless, I accidentally let him run away!"


    "Forget it, it''s useless to say such words now. I''ll go find him, you wait at home. If he comes back, you can''t let him run around again." Su Xiruo only wanted to find Mu Jin and bring him back as soon as possible.


    [If that ignorant guy goes out and doesn''t know anything, he will definitely cause trouble!]


    "Yes sir!"


    Thus, Su Xiruo left by himself. Before he even left his Prime Minister''S Estate, he met a Maidservant who hurriedly ran in: "Young miss, there''s someone looking for you outside!"


    Su Xiruo looked towards the direction of the Maidservant, only to see three big and tall men standing outside the Prime Minister''S Estate gate. All of them had ferocious expressions, and one look at them was enough to tell that something bad was about to happen.


    "We are looking for the great lady of Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo!" The man at the front had his arms crossed and spoke coldly. He looked extremely arrogant.


    "I am, why are you looking for me?" Su Xiruo looked into their eyes, not a shred of fear in his eyes.


    When the three men saw that she was a weak little girl, their attitudes turned even worse. "Your men were just freeloading in our restaurant and even messed up our store. You should go and clean up the mess!"


    "My men?" Su Xiruo didn''t seem to understand what they meant by ''subordinates''.


    "That''s right, he personally said that you are his master, and that his name is Mu Jin!"


    Once these two words came out, Su Xiruo''s mind instantly went blank, he could no longer calm down: "Quickly, bring me there!"


    Fortunately, he had found Mu Jin. However, judging from their tone, Mu Jin should have caused quite the commotion!


    "You''d better bring more silver. Otherwise, it won''t even be enough for you to pay!" Those men couldn''t help but remind her, afraid that she wouldn''t be able to afford it.


    "Cut the crap, lead the way!" Su Xiruo coldly glanced at them, then had them lead the way.


    The three men led the way to a rather well-decorated bun house. However, at this moment, the place looked as if someone had smashed into it, and items were scattered all over the floor.


    Su Xiruo anxiously walked into the bun house. Inside, there were over 10 robust men standing around Mu Jin, standing in the middle. Mu Jin''s originally white and tender face was covered with dust, looking somewhat pitiful.


    "Mu Jin!" Su Xiruo pushed through the crowd and walked into the circle.


    Mu Jin turned around, and upon seeing Su Xiruo, he became extremely happy, and immediately gave her a huge hug: "Master, you''re finally here, I''ve been looking for you for a long time!"


    "Why are you here? Didn''t I tell you to stay home?" Su Xiruo faintly sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.


    One had to know that if his identity as a spirit creature was exposed, a large area of the human race could come after him.


    I wanted to go find you, but I didn''t know the way, so I found something to eat. I was hungry, and when I saw there was food in there, I came in and ate a little. Who knows that after I finished eating, they wouldn''t let me leave. Mu Jin''s tone sounded somewhat wronged, "Master, don''t stop me, let me kill them and bring you back!"


    So it was because he didn''t pay. No wonder he didn''t want to leave. However, this brat didn''t know what money was!


    "Kid, you don''t pay for your food, do you have any reason to?" one of the men said angrily.


    "Shut up. Did we say we won''t pay?" Su Xiruo interrupted the man''s words coldly, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he did not want to hear what they had to say about Mu Jin, "Calculate for yourself, how much does it total, quickly, I do not have that much time to waste!"


    The men looked at each other in dismay. They probably didn''t expect that this little girl, who didn''t bring a single person, would dare to talk to them so arrogantly.


    "Hey, you guys are the ones who are in the wrong. You still dare to speak to us so brazenly and brazenly? If you don''t inquire, what is the background of our boss?" One of the men couldn''t help himself.


    Su Xiruo coldly snorted, and disdainfully said: "I don''t care about your boss''s identity, so what about it? I even said that with so many of you, you scared my men! "


    "You!"


    "You what you?" Su Xiruo took out a gold spindle from his pocket and slammed it on the table, "Ten gold coins, is that enough?"


    Seeing that Su Xiruo was so generous with his money, all of them opened their eyes wide, and their attitude immediately changed. "Enough, enough, Young Miss.


    Almost everyone in the capital knew that this young miss Prime Minister''S Estate did not have any status in her family. They all thought that Su Xiruo would definitely not be able to afford to pay them so much silver.


    But she didn''t expect that her first bid would be 10 gold. It could be said to be a huge sum of money.


    Su Xiruo was too lazy to bother with them and wanted to quickly bring Mu Jin away: "Mu Jin, let''s go!"


    "Oh, okay." Mu Jin happily followed behind Su Xiruo, and left the bun house. "Master, I''m sorry, I''ve caused you trouble, but not only have I not found you, I have to trouble you to find me!"


    Hearing her tone, Su Xiruo could not bear to scold her any further, "Alright, in the future, just listen to me obediently and don''t wander around alone. There are dangers outside that you can''t imagine, understand?"


    Mu Jin nodded with incomparable sincerity, and did not dare to refute anymore.


    Only a short distance away, which was half a street away, Helian Yunqian stopped in his tracks. Seeing Su Xiruo, he wanted to go up and greet him, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the man beside her.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo stopped in his tracks, extended his hand out, and gently wiped the dust off Mu Jin''s face: "Don''t move!"


    Mu Jin stood in place without moving, but he was actually enjoying this in his heart: "Master, you treat me so well."


    "Nonsense. If I don''t treat you well, who can I treat?" Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile as a familiar yet warm voice suddenly traveled to his ears.


    "Xiruo."

 C51

    Su Xiruo lifted his head and saw Helian Yunqian.


    Right now, she really didn''t know how to face him.


    When Mu Jin saw him, she immediately hid behind Su Xiruo and grabbed onto Su Xiruo''s clothes. She was a little afraid, probably still remember this man''s abnormal strength.


    Helian Yunqian carefully sized up Mu Jin, and recognized him at a glance. He blurted out: "He is ¡­ Chinese Kite? "


    "My name is Mu Jin." Mu Jin said weakly, but he had been hiding behind Su Xiruo the entire time.


    "Mu Jin, let''s go back." Su Xiruo lowered his head, wanting to tell Mu Jin to leave quickly.


    Right now, she could think of the best method, which was to alienate Helian Yunqian, and make him completely give up on her. That way, he would naturally be wary of her, and she would have no chance or reason to sneak in a sneak attack on him.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo wasn''t even looking at her, Helian Yunqian felt that it was a little strange. He hurriedly went forward and hugged her shoulders: "Xiruo, what''s wrong?"


    When he had sent her back to the Prime Minister''S Estate a few days ago, her attitude towards him was still as good as ever.


    I didn''t do anything to make her angry, did I?


    "General Helian." Su Xiruo released his hand, and spoke with a calm tone: "I still have things to do, I have to go back earlier, please hold on!"


    Throwing these words down, Su Xiruo hurriedly left with Mu Jin. She did not dare to turn back, nor did she dare to look at him any longer, as she was afraid that if she did, her heart would soften again.


    "Xiruo ¡­" Helian Yunqian did not continue to chase after him. He seemed to have noticed that something was off, but he did not understand what was wrong.


    After walking far away, Mu Jin could not help but ask: "Master, are you in a bad mood? Why are you hiding from him the moment you see him?"


    Although Helian Yunqian had injured it that day, Mu Jin did not hate it too much.


    He was obviously at the General''S Estate a few days ago, but the master was still following him around like he was his own son. How did he change in the blink of an eye?


    For a moment, Su Xiruo did not know how to explain things to him, so he casually said: "We are not the same group, Mu Jin, in the future when we meet Helian Yunqian, do not have any interactions with him, understand?"


    "Oh, okay." Although he did not understand why, he firmly remembered Master''s words in his heart.


    Returning to the Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo calmly spent three to four days. Every day, besides cultivating, he observed the condition of the Old Mistress.


    It was almost visible to the naked eye that Old Mistress''s mental state was improving day by day. This Soul-Calming Powder seemed to have a miraculous effect of turning rotten, and in about half a month, Old Mistress should be able to recover completely!


    After resolving a big problem, Su Xiruo felt that she had more or less completed her mission. Now, with that, she had one last thing to do, she had to accomplish it herself!


    In the early morning of this day, Su Xiruo had already washed up and put on a set of plain white clothes.


    "Miss, you look so beautiful today. Are you planning to go out?" Seeing Su Xiruo dressed up so earnestly, Qing Yuan could not help but ask.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not hide anything, "I want to go to the palace to see how Su Jinxi and her daughter are doing."


    As she spoke to here, her eyes flashed with a sharp light.


    "They must be having a bad time in prison!" Qing Yuan laughed proudly, he wished that the mother and daughter would die, "Young miss, why did you not kill them, leaving them alive is an eyesore!"


    It would be a simple task for the young miss to kill them all. It wouldn''t take much effort.


    Su Xiruo shook his head lightly, "I promised Grandma that I would spare Su Jinxi''s life and not kill her."


    Following that, Su Xiruo changed the subject. "However, I will make her want to die!"


    Sometimes, being able to live might not be a good thing. Life is better than death.


    Thus, Su Xiruo brought Qing Yuan and entered the palace, and like before, Mu Jin hid within her sleeves.


    When they arrived at the prison, the two of them were stopped by a guard. "Please hold on, you two are not allowed to enter the important areas of the prison!"


    "I am the young miss of Prime Minister''S Estate, and I have come to visit my sister and mother." Su Xiruo said indifferently, as he revealed his identity and took out a badge to prove his identity with the Prime Minister''S Estate.


    When the guard saw the token, he quickly made way, "Please come in young miss, but time is limited, please come out quickly!"


    "Got it. I''ll come out as soon as I can." Su Xiruo nodded and slowly stepped into the Sky Prison.


    The atmosphere of the Sky Prison was depressing, and howls filled the air. It was filled with negative and cold emotions. In this kind of environment, even if it was just for an incense stick of time, one would have the urge to suffocate.


    One could imagine, the lives of Su Jinxi and the Mrs Zhang shouldn''t be too good!


    Under the guidance of the guards, Su Xiruo arrived at the place where Su Jinxi and the Mrs Zhang were imprisoned.


    The two of them were locked together, but they were not in the same cell.


    Su Jinxi was squatting on the ground with his hair in a mess, his eyes were unfocused and his body was covered in dust.


    The Mrs Zhang, on the other hand, was not much better off. He had taken off his luxurious clothes and was wearing a white prison uniform.


    "Sister, Mrs Zhang, how have you guys been?!" Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, his tone carrying hints of ridicule.


    Hearing the familiar voice, Su Jinxi was startled, she raised her head, seeing Su Xiruo''s bright and beautiful appearance, she could no longer remain calm: "Su Xiruo!"


    She got up and ran over, wishing she could tear open the prison door, "You crazy bitch, are you satisfied with my current appearance!?"


    Su Xiruo could not help but smile, he then ordered people to open the cell door, and brought Mrs Zhang over from the cell.


    "Qiangxi, Qiangxi!" Mrs Zhang immediately embraced Su Jinxi''s body. The mother and daughter pair reunited, looking at them seemed to be rather "touching".


    However, Su Xiruo did not have a single ounce of sympathy in his heart. All the humiliations that he suffered when he was young were still fresh in his mind, and he had never forgotten them before.


    Then, Mrs Zhang kneeled in front of Su Xiruo, his tone becoming much softer, "Xiruo, I beg of you, please let Pang Xi go. Can you go and plead for Pang Xi for her? No matter what, she is still your little sister. You can''t just stand by and watch her die! "


    "Don''t worry, I won''t kill her. Moreover, I will let her live a good life." Su Xiruo slowed his tone and looked down at the two from above, "However, the two of you can only live one.


    When she said that, the mother and daughter pair looked at each other with trembling hands. They were momentarily at a loss as to what to do.


    "Su Xiruo, why are you so vicious? I really misjudged you before! " Su Jinxi was unwilling to agree to her request, "What''s more, who do you think you are? Furthermore, I am a direct descendant of the Prime Minister''S Estate, I am not someone that you can touch as you please! "


    "Hur Hur Hur Hur." Su Xiruo only thought that what she said was somewhat funny, "The direct daughter of Prime Minister''S Estate? Su Jinxi, do you think your father will still take you seriously after this? I''m afraid I can''t avoid you! If he truly cares about you in his heart, why hasn''t he come to see you for so many days? "


    Speaking of which, Su Jinxi felt that it made some sense.


    If his father really cared about him, he would at least think of a way to see him. But now, he couldn''t even see a single person.


    Could it be that it was really as Su Xiruo had said, that at the most critical moment, his father would not care about him at all?


    However, on the surface, Su Jinxi was still extremely stubborn: "You''re talking nonsense, you''re lying? Father usually dotes on me the most, but he just can''t come to see us! "

 C52

    "Stop lying to yourself, Su Jinxi." Su Xiruo purposely attacked her, "You can''t come in? I can even bring a little girl in here, but he is the dignified prime minister of a country. If he wants to come in and visit you all, is there anything he can do? "


    Su Jinxi let out a faint sigh, and was a little dumbfounded.


    Truthfully, she had only been consoling herself this entire time. In truth, she knew that her father, feeling ashamed of them both, was eager to break off their relationship. Where would he have the time to wade into this muddy water and come to visit them?


    "Su Xiruo, your words are the most useful now. Go beg your father to help us plead for mercy, okay?" Mrs Zhang bowed and kneeled in front of Su Xiruo, hoping for only one way out.


    Su Xiruo didn''t even look at her directly: "I''ve already said this before, between the two of you, only one would survive. You two can choose yourselves, I don''t have much time left."


    Mrs Zhang knelt on the ground, his gaze unfocused.


    She knew that she and Qixi were no longer the noble daughters and wives of Prime Minister''S Estate anymore. They were merely prisoners with the lowest status, so even if they died here, no one would care about them.


    "Mother, don''t listen to her!" Su Jinxi gnashed his teeth in anger, he almost wanted to swallow Su Xiruo alive, "Su Xiruo, what do you want, for you to let us go?"


    "Let you go?" Su Xiruo sneered, "Are you joking with me? Su Jinxi, you should know in your hearts how I was tricked by you all in terms of Snake Pond and how you all trampled over me. In terms of ruthlessness, I may not even be one ten thousandth of your strength! "


    With that, Su Xiruo took out a blade and threw it in front of Su Jinxi: "Come, do you want to do it yourselves, or should I?"


    The two of them fell onto the ground and hugged each other. They were so scared that they couldn''t even stand properly.


    "Don''t waste each other''s time." Su Xiruo saw that the two of them were not speaking, and became a little impatient, "Or, you two are unwilling to part with each other, and you want to set off together?"


    After hesitating for a while, the Mrs Zhang walked forward a bit, as if he made a great decision, "Xiruo, kill me. As long as Qixi is safe and sound, I will apologize with my life!"


    "Mother." Su Jinxi was flustered and exasperated, but he did not dare to go forward to stop them.


    And Su Xiruo just knew that Su Jinxi was extremely selfish and was afraid of death, so he definitely wouldn''t take the initiative to step out.


    Old Mistress had repeatedly warned him to spare Su Jinxi''s life, but he did not say that he could not kill Mrs Zhang!


    Mrs Zhang turned around and hugged Su Jinxi. "Take revenge for me. You must survive, understand?"


    Su Jinxi nodded her head with tears in her eyes. She was still quite happy in her heart, at least she would be able to survive.


    After he finished warning, Mrs Zhang picked up the weapon on the ground, resolutely glanced at Su Xiruo, then brandished his sword and committed suicide.


    "Mother! Mother!" Su Jinxi knelt beside the corpse, hot tears flowing down her face.


    "Enough, stop pretending." Su Xiruo wasn''t moved in the slightest. On the contrary, she felt that it was a little laughable. "You should be secretly rejoicing in yourself right now.


    "Su Xiruo, my mother is already dead. Can I leave this Sky Prison now?" Sure enough, Su Jinxi changed his expression in a second, wholeheartedly wanting to leave this place.


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo slightly nodded her head, "But after you go out, you will no longer be the daughter of the Prime Minister''S Estate, but a nameless slave girl!"


    "You ¡­ What do you want to do? " Su Jinxi took a step back, a little afraid.


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change as he explained, "It''s not what I want to do. The Emperor has already given the order.


    These words were as heavy as a boulder as it pressed down on Su Jinxi: "No, impossible, impossible, how could it be like this, how could it be like this? I want to see the Emperor, I want to ask him clearly! "


    The conditions at the border were extremely harsh. Once exiled, they were destined to live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Living without dignity like this would be better off death!


    "The Emperor doesn''t have the leisure to come and see you. Take care of yourself. These ten days should be the best ten days of your life!" With that, Su Xiruo turned and left.


    "Su Xiruo, don''t leave! I will kill you, I will kill you!" Su Jinxi was very excited, he wanted to stand up, but he was stopped by two soldiers.


    Su Xiruo left this filthy and negative place without looking back. He immediately felt that the air outside was very fresh.


    "Miss, we really vented our anger, the mother and daughter Su Jinxi really deserved it!" When Qing Yuan thought about Su Jinxi''s reaction just now, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart.


    But Su Xiruo was not as happy as he thought, the scenes from his childhood were etched into his heart, it was impossible to forget.


    No matter how tragic the punishment Su Jinxi received was, it would not be able to heal the injuries she received before.


    "Let''s go back." She spoke lightly, sounding unperturbed.


    While talking, Su Xiruo noticed that there seemed to be someone following her from the shadows. Although it was concealed very well, she had still discovered it.


    That person must have been sent by his father to keep an eye on him. It seemed that he had to be careful of everything!


    "Miss, look, it''s General Helian!" Suddenly, Qing Yuan seemed to have noticed the person not far away.


    Su Xiruo inadvertently looked up and saw Helian Yunqian dressed in white, talking to the leader of the Imperial Guards. She was quiet and beautiful, her expression cold and beautiful like a god, with Liu Sheng following behind her.


    He actually ran into him in this kind of place, he could not let his father''s people see that he was getting too close to Helian Yunqian, or else the consequences would be unimaginable!


    "Let''s go." Thus, after just a glance, Su Xiruo wanted to leave in a hurry, not willing to meet him.


    "Miss, why are you in such a hurry to leave? General Helian seems to have seen us, are you sure you don''t want to greet him?" Qing Yuan was a little confused in his heart, why did the Miss have to hide from the General Helian?


    Su Xiruo paused, at this time, Helian Yunqian was already blocking in front of her, she could only stop for the moment.


    "Xiruo, why have you been avoiding me these past two days?" Helian Yunqian seemed to want to clarify his question, "If there''s anything that I''m not satisfied with, you can say it."


    Su Xiruo lowered his head and deliberately changed the topic: "General Helian, I''m rushing back, so I won''t tell you about it anymore. In the future, don''t come look for me again."


    Her tone was very cold, as if she were speaking to a stranger.


    "What do you mean?" Helian Yunqian''s heart trembled, he did not understand, "You do not want to see me?"


    "That''s right!" Su Xiruo then raised his head and directly put down his words, "I don''t like persistent men, so I hope that you can stay away from me in the future, because I feel annoyed whenever I see you, don''t you understand what I mean?"


    Helian Yunqian''s finger bones were slightly curled up, seeing her sudden change in attitude, he was at a loss of what to do.


    She was obviously willing to accept his good intentions a few days ago, willing to let him personally feed her medicine and allow him to send her back. But how did it completely change in just a few short days?


    "Hey, Miss Su, why don''t you know what''s good for you? My master is always thinking for your sake. Isn''t it a little too ungrateful for you to say such words now?" Liu Sheng, who was at the side, could not listen any further.


    For the sake of the Miss Su, the general couldn''t wait to do everything himself. He was even willing to lower his status and go to the Mercenary Guild to accept the Miss Su''s missions.


    But now, the Miss Su actually said such harsh words, it was truly going too far!


    "Liu Sheng, shut up!" Helian Yunqian lightly scolded him, and then said to Su Xiruo, "Xiruo, tell me, is that why you''re telling me this, or not. If ¡­ "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you!"


    He had a nagging feeling that this girl''s attitude had changed too quickly. Something was not right.


    "I don''t need your help. You can help me out no matter what!" Su Xiruo interrupted him and looked in another direction, not daring to meet his eyes.


    With that, she turned to leave.

 C53

    His intuition told him that this girl was just trying to be brave, just by talking to him. He then grabbed her wrist, not letting her leave, "Answer me, do you have a spot for me in your heart?"


    He did not believe that the gaze that Xiruo had given him earlier was all an act!


    This question struck right at Su Xiruo''s heart. She bit her lower lip and shook off his hand, afraid that she would fall apart and reveal her true feelings.


    This won''t do, my father''s men are watching me from nearby, if my father thinks that I like Helian Yunqian, with his personality, he would definitely think of a way to get my hands on his Beast Core!


    "General, did you misunderstand something?" Therefore, Su Xiruo laughed sarcastically, and said with an extremely frivolous tone, "I never said that I like you, right? The reason why I didn''t reject your kindness is because I feel that you''re someone who can use it to help me obtain some benefits. However, to me right now, you no longer have any value in using it, so why should I continue to care about you? "


    Su Xiruo said in a single breath as he curled up his fingers so tightly that his heart was bleeding.


    If that was the case, wouldn''t it be enough to hurt him? Helian Yunqian should also completely give up on himself!


    "Miss Su, are you crazy? Do you know what you''re saying?" Liu Sheng, on the other hand, was anxious.


    He did not expect that this Miss Su was actually an ungrateful bastard. The general and young miss had treated her so well for nothing!


    Helian Yunqian walked a little closer to her, and on his usually calm face, there was actually a little more sadness and disappointment: "Is what you said true?"


    "Miss, you ¡­" Qing Yuan frowned. He saw it, but was anxious.


    Miss, what''s wrong with you today? In the past, she would never have said such heartless and unjust words for no reason!


    Seeing Su Xiruo lower his head slightly and not say a word, Helian Yunqian seemed to have discerned some of her sympathy, and said: "Xiruo, five years ago when you saved me, I had only believed in you and never changed. At that time, I still did not know your identity, so all these years, I have been searching for you.


    He had revealed his intentions so that Xi Ruo would understand his true intentions.


    Su Xiruo was startled, her nails were tightly curled up, and almost embedded into her flesh. Only god knows how excited she was hearing this, but she just couldn''t show it!


    His eyes that were as deep as a pool of water looked into Su Xiruo''s eyes, and said with an incomparably sincere tone: "As long as you say that you like me, I''ll immediately marry you and pass the time!"


    Without any hesitation, because five years ago, he had already recognized this woman!


    As long as you are willing, I will dare to marry you!


    Such bold words caused both Liu Sheng and Qing Yuan to be shocked.


    It seemed that Master had been thinking about Miss Su for a long time, but unfortunately, Miss Su didn''t seem to appreciate his kindness at all!


    Su Xiruo secretly swept a glance at the spy behind him, and became even more nervous. His reason told him that he had to restrain himself.


    "General Helian!" Su Xiruo raised his voice purposely, so that the spy could hear him, "You said that you want to marry me, but that''s not possible either. It''s just that I don''t know if I can make the request."


    "As long as I have it, I will definitely agree to it." His tone was very serious and he did not seem like he was joking at all.


    "I want your life, yet you still want to give it to me?" Su Xiruo asked in ridicule, for the sake of letting him know the difficulties of doing so!


    "Miss Su, don''t go overboard!" Liu Sheng''s expression changed.


    This girl really doesn''t know what''s good for her. Mistress has already spoken to her so humbly, but she still has this kind of attitude.


    "Liu Sheng!" Helian Yunqian shot Liu Sheng a cold glare, telling him to shut up.


    Then, he took out a blade from his sleeve and handed it over to Su Xiruo, saying calmly: "If you really want my life, then take it!"


    His tone was as light as the wind, as if he didn''t want money for his life.


    Su Xiruo started to become anxious, and the spy intentionally made some movements, as though he was urging Su Xiruo to make a move.


    "Helian Yunqian, I am serious. I am not joking with you!" Su Xiruo took the blade and his expression became more vicious.


    Was this guy really not afraid of death?


    Helian Yunqian gave a noncommittal smile. He knew that this girl had softened her feelings for him, "I''m also serious."


    He looked into her eyes, those clear and limpid eyes filled with trust. He unconditionally trusted this woman in front of him.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers tightened into a ball, her mind was in a mess, she did not dare look at his eyes, she gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and stabbed the blade into his chest, her eyes flashed with a cold light.


    In an instant, blood gushed out!


    "Su Xiruo, stop!" Seeing that his master was injured, Liu Sheng was immediately enraged, wishing that he could kill this woman in front of him!


    Su Xiruo threw the blade that was stained with blood onto the ground, endured the trembling of his fingers, and said without changing his expression: "Helian Yunqian, I already reminded you, I am not joking with you, it was you who did not know what was good for you! "Now that you have seen it, I am such an ungrateful woman, so you should just give up on this idea as soon as possible!"


    Following that, Su Xiruo stopped in his tracks: "Oh right, I''ll return this to you."


    She took out the Red Jade Marrow Ring from her sleeve and returned it to his hand. There was not a trace of emotion in her voice, "From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other! Qing Yuan, let''s go. "


    Qing Yuan thought that his young miss had gone overboard, but did not dare to say a word more, and obediently followed behind Su Xiruo.


    Liu Sheng could not bear to watch any longer, he angrily took out his Spiritual Artifact, and was about to attack her: "Su Xiruo, you want to leave after injuring her, stop right there!"


    "Liu Sheng." Helian Yunqian used one hand to cover his bleeding wound and said indifferently, "Let her go!" The voice sounded weak.


    "Mistress!" "But ¡­"


    "You don''t understand my words?" Helian Yunqian berated coldly.


    "..." "Yes." Although he was flustered and exasperated, he had no choice but to listen to his master''s words. He could only suppress his anger.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Helian Yunqian held onto the ring tightly and coughed lightly, he was so excited that he spat out blood. His originally white face was now even more pale, to the point that there was not a trace of blood on it.


    "Mistress, why don''t you let me do it? Miss Su doesn''t show you any mercy at all!" Liu Sheng was so angry that his heart ached for her, feeling that it wasn''t worth it.


    "Shut up, there''s someone nearby!" Helian Yunqian did not answer his question, but she sensed something.


    Liu Sheng turned his head back, and only then did he vaguely see a shadow that seemed to be monitoring them, and immediately said: "Master, wait for me for a while, I''ll catch them!"


    With that, Liu Sheng leaped up, wanting to chase after him, but who would have known that the figure''s reaction speed was extremely fast, in a flash, he disappeared, and could not catch up with her either, when he thought about his master''s injuries, he did not continue to chase, and turned back.


    "Can''t even catch up to a single person, what an idiot!" Helian Yunqian wanted to give chase, but he had the heart but no strength.


    "I ¡­" Liu Sheng lowered his head in embarrassment and quickly changed the topic, "Master, you''re injured, I''ll take you back first!"


    If that girl''s blade went a bit deeper, he would likely lose his life. It seemed like that girl still knew what she should do and did not truly want his life.


    Xiruo, what kind of difficulties do you have that you would rather say such heartless words than tell me the truth?


    Gradually, he felt his body become lighter and lighter. Everything went black before his eyes and he completely lost consciousness.


    After walking for a long distance, Qing Yuan inadvertently saw that Su Xiruo''s eyes were slightly red, as if he was holding in some emotion and was not willing to say it out loud.


    "Miss, you clearly have feelings for the General Helian, why are you still so ruthless?" Finally, Qing Yuan could not help but ask.


    "No, don''t talk nonsense!" Su Xiruo hurriedly interrupted her words. He was unwilling to admit it, but he felt extremely guilty in his heart.


    She knew that this time, Helian Yunqian probably hated her to the bones. He had clearly achieved the goal she wanted, but why was he still feeling so sad?

 C54

    At this time, an afterimage flashed past and a Black Man appeared in front of the two of them. Su Xiruo recognized them with a single glance.


    "Master Lin Yuan." Qing Yuan saw the situation, and immediately bowed.


    Lin Yuan shot a bland glance at Su Xiruo, and spoke with a slightly polite tone: "Young Master, why didn''t you take the opportunity to take Helian Yunqian''s Beast Core away at such a good opportunity just now?"


    Hearing that, Qing Yuan suddenly realized!


    So it turned out that when Miss met General Helian, Master Lin Yuan had been monitoring her from the shadows, waiting for her to retrieve the General Helian''s Beast Core!


    But the young miss really had some feelings for the General Helian, so she was unwilling to take action, but didn''t know how to disobey the orders of the High Lord.


    In that case, the Miss can use this as an excuse to say that she no longer has the chance to approach the General Helian.


    "I was too anxious, so I made a mistake. Next time, I''ll find another opportunity." Su Xiruo casually replied, "Don''t rush me, I know what I''m doing!"


    "Young Lord... You can''t be being lenient towards him, right? " Lin Yuan spoke out his question.


    "Don''t spout nonsense!" Su Xiruo interrupted him, "I know in my heart what to do, I do not need you to remind me, you should do your own thing. If I were to know that you are chewing on my tongue in front of my father, do not blame me for being ruthless!"


    Su Xiruo''s tone of voice was confident and confident, without the slightest bit of guilt.


    "Yes, Young Lord, don''t be angry. I''m just worried that you''re not his match and I want to help you!" Lin Yuan laughed, and naturally did not dare to break off all decorum with her.


    After all, she was the foster daughter of the High Lord. Although her strength was inferior to his, he still couldn''t afford to offend her.


    Su Xiruo couldn''t help but laugh and mock him: "Heh, you want to deal with Spirit Sovereign with just nine star Heavenly Spirit Master? Stop dreaming! "


    This cunning fellow, if he wanted to keep an eye on him, he should just say it out. To be able to put it in such a righteous tone, it was truly disgusting!


    "I ¡­" Lin Yuan was a little angry, but he could not say anything, "Young Master is right, but, please do not make High Lord wait too long, the condition of High Lord is getting worse every day, do you really have the heart to see him die because of your leniency?"


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, and said somewhat helplessly: "I understand, I will think of a way as soon as possible!"


    "Yes, it''s good that the Young Lord knows this. In that case, I will take my leave!" Finished speaking, Lin Yuan turned into another afterimage, and disappeared from their line of sight.


    Su Xiruo looked into the sky and sighed helplessly. In that moment, he really did not know what to do next.


    She would not do anything to Helian Yunqian, but right now, her father''s condition was also at stake, what should she do?


    "Miss, I''m sorry, I misunderstood you just now. So it turns out that you also have your own difficulties." Seeing that Su Xiruo was quiet for a long time, Qing Yuan could not help but console him, "Actually, I feel that you can tell General Helian the truth. General Helian will believe you.


    "It''s useless. I think he must hate me to death by now." Su Xiruo shook his head, and said in an extremely depressed tone, "I wonder how his injuries are, Qing Yuan, follow me to the General''S Estate, I want to take a look at his injuries!"


    "Miss, wait for me!" Qing Yuan could tell that the young miss still cared a lot about the General Helian, so she happily followed along.


    Helian Yunqian opened his eyes groggily, what entered his sight was the familiar curtain, the wound in his heart was instantly pricked by a sharp pain, he could not help but cough lightly.


    Was he still alive?


    "Bro, you''re finally awake. You''ve really made me worry so much." Ye Zhuozhuo stood right in front of his bed with a face full of worry, "I heard Liu Sheng say that if she hurt you, would that be true?"


    "I''m fine." He said these three words lightly, but he did not answer her question. His voice sounded weak, "This has nothing to do with her."


    "You''re still saying that you''re fine, but you almost lost your life!" Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, feeling excited.


    "Right now, I have to go out and find some herbs to create High Ranked Healing Drug for you." Ye Zhuozhuo still couldn''t wrap his head around it. With Big Brother''s strength, just who could injure him?


    "There''s no need. It''s very dangerous outside. Don''t go out by yourself." In the end, Helian Yunqian was still worried for her.


    At this time, a Maidservant came in from outside. He whispered into Ye Zhuozhuo''s ear: "Miss, this Miss Su wishes to meet you in private."


    Ye Zhuozhuo immediately understood that if someone were to secretly come to see her, he did not want anyone else to know about it.


    Therefore, Ye Zhuozhuo slowly stood up: "Brother, rest well. The medicine just now is almost ready.


    With that, Ye Zhuozhuo hurriedly left the room and arrived at the inner hall. Su Xiruo was seated at the side with a heavy expression.


    "Ruo Ruo, why are you looking for me?" She walked closer, feeling that something was wrong with Ruo Ruo''s face, she mustered her courage and asked the question on her mind, "Is my brother''s injury related to you?"


    In the next second, Su Xiruo got up from his seat and knelt in front of Ye Zhuozhuo, scaring her: "Ruo Ruo, what are you doing, get up!"


    "Brilliant, I''m sorry. Your brother was stabbed by me. I apologize to you." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, without any intention to argue, "You can punish me however you want ¡­"


    "You ¡­" Listening up to here, Ye Zhuozhuo was startled, and was at a loss of what to do, "Why did you do this?"


    "No reason." Su Xiruo didn''t want to explain the reason, so he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it over to Ye Zhuozhuo. "This is a Healing Drug, I only hope that you don''t tell General Helian that I gave this Healing Drug to you."


    Since she had already hardened her heart and hurt Helian Yunqian''s heart, she shouldn''t have given him any more hope.


    "Ruo Ruo, I believe you didn''t intentionally hurt my brother. We can talk properly if you have something to say. You get up first." Seeing her sincere attitude, Ye Zhuozhuo immediately softened, "Tell me, why are you doing this?"


    Su Xiruo lightly shook his head: "There''s no other reason. Blazing, I have already sent the Healing Drug, it''s time to go."


    She did not want to explain anything, so after throwing down those words, she called for Qing Yuan to follow her.


    Ye Zhuozhuo stood at his original position, looking at the Healing Drug in his hands, he probably could not understand the two people''s thoughts.


    It was really strange. Ruo Ruo was clearly thinking about her brother, but she just refused to admit it. Wasn''t she tired of holding it in?


    However, she respected Ruo Ruo''s meaning. Since she wasn''t willing to speak, she didn''t intend to pursue this line of questioning any further.


    Once he returned to the Prime Minister''S Estate, Su Xiruo locked himself in his room. For an entire day and night, no matter how Qing Yuan and Mu Jin called out to him, it was useless.


    "What''s wrong with Mistress? She''s been ignoring us for a long time, is she angry at us?" Mu Jin sat on the seat outside the hall, he was extremely anxious.


    "Mistress might be arguing with herself." Qing Yuan sighed, "Don''t make such a big fuss anymore. Master will come out after thinking it through."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. Su Xiruo, dressed in white, walked out of the room with a haggard look on his face.


    "Miss." Qing Yuan quickly got up, "You should be hungry? I''ve just prepared some pastries for you, let''s have some first! "


    "No, is Master home?" Su Xiruo''s current thoughts were completely not on eating.


    "On my way to the kitchen, I met the Maidservant in Master''s room. Master should be at home." Qing Yuan answered truthfully.


    "Un, come with me to meet the old master!" Su Xiruo thought, he could not continue to be depressed.


    She would put aside the Beast Core s for now and think of a way to register for Mercenary Academy first!


    "Yes." Although he did not know what the young miss was thinking, Qing Yuan did not dare to ask, and followed obediently.


    "Wait for me, I''m coming too!" Mu Jin did not want to be left behind, so he turned into a small bird and hid into Su Xiruo''s sleeves.

 C55

    Righteous and proper.


    Su Yuanqing was drinking his tea alone, teasing the little Maidservant, when he heard some hurried footsteps.


    "Master, Eldest Miss requests an audience."


    Instantly, the teacup in Su Yuanqing''s hand was almost scared out of its wits. "Why is that girl looking for me?"


    Experience told him that every time Su Xiruo came to find him, she would not have any good things to do!


    Just as he was muttering, Su Xiruo had already entered. "Master, I have something to discuss with you."


    "What is it?" Seeing Su Xiruo''s serious expression, Su Yuanqing was even more unsure, "Come, let''s sit down and talk."


    Su Xiruo was not polite at all, he took the opportunity to sit down and went straight to the point: "I heard that in two days, Mercenary Academy will come to the capital to recruit students."


    Hearing this, Su Yuanqing looked up at her in astonishment, his heart full of anticipation: "What, Xiruo, do you want to go and register?"


    Su Yuanqing had already known about this matter from the start. He had originally planned to have Sumire Xi register with him, but now that something like this had happened, he could only give up.


    This matter had caused him to lose all face. He didn''t even dare to go out, afraid that he would be laughed at if he saw the other Patriarchs.


    But now, Su Xiruo had actually brought this up on her own accord. If she really entered the Mercenary Academy, it could be considered as giving herself face!


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "I want to register as the Su Family, is that possible?"


    If it were not for the fact that she wanted to register properly, she would not want to take up the Su Clan''s name.


    "Of course!" Su Yuanqing immediately agreed, he was so excited that he even stood up, "Xi Ruo, with your strength, if you were to register, you would definitely be able to successfully become a student!"


    Because of Su Jinxi, the Su Family had just gotten into such a scandal, and their reputation in the capital had plummeted. If Su Xiruo managed to get into Mercenary Academy at such a time, then the Su Family''s reputation would return in an instant!


    "Old master, are you agreeing?" Su Xiruo had to confirm once more before asking again, "If you have no objections, then I will register two days later."


    "Of course I agree. Xiruo, your father respects your decision. As long as you want to, your father will support you in doing so." Su Yuanqing was still extremely happy in his heart, "In two days, Father will personally send you there."


    "No need!" Su Xiruo interrupted him and had an idea, "I just want to go and quietly announce my name, I am not willing to make such a big scene, furthermore, my Fine Star Continent is deep and unfathomable, the strong are as numerous as the clouds, if I were to act so arrogantly from the start, I am afraid that it would not be appropriate!"


    Hearing this, Su Yuanqing probably felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed: "Alright, since you said it, then Father will naturally respect your decision."


    He called himself father one by one, causing Su Xiruo''s ears to be filled with perspiration.


    "Since the matter has been resolved, it''s time for me to leave as well." Su Xiruo stood up, without saying more than that, he prepared to leave.


    "Xiruo, don''t be in such a hurry to leave." "Su Yuanqing seemed to want to use this opportunity to rope her in and revealed a smile. "It''s almost noon, you should stay and have a meal with father. If you want to eat something, father will tell the kitchen to prepare it now."


    Su Yuanqing only felt that the Emperor had already ordered for Qixi to be transported to the border and that he would only have Xiruo as his daughter. It would be better for him to rope her in.


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh. He was his daughter and it had been more than ten years since then, so he did not know what he liked to eat.


    Therefore, she lightly rejected him, "No, I still have things to do, so I won''t stay any longer."


    Finished, Su Yuanqing could only watch as Su Xiruo left the main hall without turning his head back.


    "Hmph." He snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied. "You really don''t know what''s good for you!"


    If not to rope Su Xiruo in, and for her to go and fight for the Su Family''s face, he would not have used such a fawning tone to speak to Su Xiruo. Who knew she would not be tactful!


    Forget it, for the sake of the Su Clan''s reputation, he would endure it.


    General''S Estate.


    Liu Sheng brought the lunch into the room, pushed open the door, and saw Helian Yunqian dressed entirely in single, sitting at the table, casually flipping through the book in his hands.


    His figure was thin to begin with, and he was only wearing a fur coat. His face was pale, and he looked even weaker than before.


    "Mistress, you haven''t fully recovered from your injuries. How did you get up?" Liu Sheng''s tone carried some worry.


    Helian Yunqian lifted her eyes, and did not answer his question. Her thin lips slightly parted as she asked, "Is this all the new student list for this year?"


    "Yeah." Liu Sheng nodded with incomparable sincerity, "This list is only a rough estimate, but it''s more or less accurate and can be used as a reference."


    Seeing that Master''s expression was a little strange, Liu Sheng continued to ask: "Why, Master, is there a problem with this list?"


    "Their overall power is too weak." He calmly spat out these words, probably because he couldn''t bear to watch any longer.


    The strength of this Mercenary Academy is really getting worse with each session. The Heavenly Spirit Master that I can see this year is probably as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns!


    "Cough, cough." Liu Sheng embarrassedly coughed twice, "Mistress, after all, the requirements to enroll in the Academy is strict. It only accepts students under the age of twenty.


    He lightly shook his head and was just about to close the namelist when a dazzling name suddenly appeared before his eyes.


    Su Xiruo, she also registered, and she signed up using the Su Family''s name!


    These two short words were able to quickly disrupt his emotions.


    "Mistress, what''s wrong?" Liu Sheng saw his master was stunned for a second, he thought that Yue Yang had seen some kind of powerful being, and went forward to see what they were, but when he saw the three words "Su Xiruo", he felt a sudden burst of anger.


    "This woman actually dares to come and register? Heh, Master, don''t let her fall into your hands, or else I''ll make her suffer!" Liu Sheng had no place to vent his anger.


    Helian Yunqian acted as if he did not hear anything, and closed the register, no longer bringing up the matter: "How''s the preparation of the registration site going?"


    After all, when the time came, the number of people who would come to register would be innumerable. If they didn''t do a good job on the spot, it would be easy for an accident to occur.


    "All arrangements have been made." Liu Sheng patted his chest, "Master, you are injured, so there is no need to personally go back to register for two days, just let this subordinate take your place."


    "I''ve already promised the dean. If I don''t go, won''t I be breaking my promise?" Helian Yunqian actually wanted to take a look. After all, as one of the higher ups of the academy, he had never gone to see the many years of recruitment.


    "Master, but ¡­" Liu Sheng wanted to say, you went back on your words, what do you have to do with setting others up? Why did he have to pretend to keep his promise this time?


    However, for the sake of his little life, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back down.


    "But what?" he asked deliberately.


    "Nothing, your subordinate is just worried about your injuries." Liu Sheng immediately changed his words, but he could not help but say the words in his heart, "If you are going for the Miss Su, this subordinate truly feels that it is unnecessary!"


    That ungrateful woman wasn''t worth the trip from Master. Even if she did, she might not appreciate it!


    "Who said I went there for the Miss Su?" Helian Yunqian raised her eyebrows, her tone was extremely relaxed, as if she didn''t care at all.


    "You ¡­"


    "Today''s lunch doesn''t seem to be to my liking." Helian Yunqian swiftly changed the topic, but the task was still pretty impressive, "Let''s go to the kitchen to make a new serving."


    No matter what Liu Sheng had to say, he could only hold it in and unhappily agreed: "Yes, this subordinate will go instruct them."


    He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. As long as it was something his master decided, no one could change it.


    After Liu Sheng left the room, Helian Yunqian gently stroked the Red Jade Marrow Ring on his fingerbone.

 C56

    Two days later, a house by the city''s moat was designated as the place where the students were recruited. The first day of registration was an endless stream of students rushing from other cities to register themselves.


    "Mistress, please let me take a look as well!" Mu Jin hid in Su Xiruo''s sleeves, always wanting to see the outside world.


    "This won''t do. If you come out, it''ll be too eye-catching. Just stay inside." Su Xiruo was mainly worried that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers at the registration site. If they were not careful and someone discovered Mu Jin''s Real Body, it would be troublesome!


    Mu Jin''s tone, was obviously unable to hold back any longer: "Master, I promise, I will absolutely not cause you any trouble!"


    "If you keep yelling, I won''t bring you out next time!" Su Xiruo rejected him flatly, leaving no room for negotiation.


    Hearing this, Mu Jin immediately shut his mouth, and did not dare to say anymore, "Alright, I will not shout, just wait obediently!"


    When Su Xiruo walked into the house, she didn''t know which direction to go due to the large crowd of people.


    Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not too far away. Su Xiruo raised his head and looked, it was Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo.


    Why are they here too?


    That matter last time, Su Xiruo had always felt guilty in his heart, so now, it was too embarrassed to take the initiative to greet them.


    "Ruoruo!" Who would have thought that Ye Zhuozhuo would also see her and take the initiative to greet her, "You came too, that''s great, I thought you wouldn''t come."


    "Brilliant, did you and the prince come to register as well?" Su Xiruo asked with concern.


    "No, A Xi accompanied me here, he is already an old student of the Mercenary School." Ye Zhuozhuo explained to her.


    "So that''s how it is." Su Xiruo laughed, feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, "Zhi Xing, I''m sorry about what happened a few days ago ¡­"


    "Alright, stop apologizing to me." Ye Zhuozhuo interrupted her, as though he was unwilling to let her go, "I believe you must have your own difficulties, and this is a matter between you and my brother, if you want to say sorry, you should go and tell my brother, but it does not affect our relationship!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo''s thoughts were still quite clear. She knew in her heart what kind of person Su Xiruo was, so he would not alienate her just because of one or two things.


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo was moved in his heart, and nodded slightly: "Mn, you''re right."


    Although Ye Zhuozhuo said that he would forgive her, she could not let this matter go.


    However, since Shining had already said that, Su Xiruo wouldn''t keep it a secret forever. He changed the topic and said: "Since that''s the case, let''s go and register together!"


    "I''m done reporting." Ye Zhuozhuo laughed, "I was just about to go back."


    "You finished reporting so quickly?" Su Xiruo looked at the pile of people and probably felt that it was a bit inconceivable.


    "Mm, because I have a shortcut for registration. I wouldn''t tell most people, so I''ll take you there!" Ye Zhuozhuo had a mysterious look on his face as he gently pulled her hand.


    Shortcut? Su Xiruo was still curious about these two words. Although she never liked taking shortcuts, when she saw so many people, she still "gave in", "Alright."


    "Follow me!" Ye Zhuozhuo held her small hand and jogged all the way to the backyard. Because there were officers and soldiers guarding the place, it was obvious that there were fewer people watching them.


    Ye Zhuozhuo brought her to an inconspicuous little room. He lightly knocked on the door: "Open!"


    The door slowly opened, and from inside, a man''s voice that seemed to be slightly magnetic came out, sounding very pleasant to the ears: "Brilliant, I''ve already said it before, students below Heavenly Spirit Master, don''t bring them in for me to see."


    Su Xiruo''s heart froze, he subconsciously raised his head, looking towards the origin of the voice, he could not help but be shocked.


    "Helian Yunqian." Her voice was extremely soft, as if she was talking to herself. Suddenly, she became nervous.


    Helian Yunqian inadvertently raised his eyes and saw Su Xiruo standing in place, at a loss of what to do.


    "Brother, I didn''t disappoint you, right?" Seeing that his brother''s expression had changed, Ye Zhuozhuo laughed in schadenfreude, "Ruo, register first, I and the Prince will wait for you outside!"


    With that, Ye Zhuozhuo pulled Mu Lingxi along and left the place as fast as lightning.


    Su Xiruo stood at the entrance. Right now, he couldn''t go in nor could he leave, and no matter what he did, it seemed very awkward.


    After a long while, Helian Yunqian opened his mouth, and broke the awkward atmosphere: "Since you want to register, why aren''t you coming in?"


    Su Xiruo slowly walked closer and stammered as he asked, "You ¡­ Why are we here? "


    Helian Yunqian looked at her eyes, his black pupils were clear and profound, "I am from the Mercenary Academy."


    "Huh?" Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, and was almost shocked by his words.


    Before he came to register, Su Xiruo had already understood Mercenary Academy.


    The academies were divided into two grades, primary and advanced. It wasn''t based on the age of the students. As long as one''s strength reached a certain level, through advancement, one could rise from primary to advanced.


    The beginner class has Fan, Ling, Xuan, Heaven, and God. The Senior Class is only limited to the sky, while the divine class is divided according to talent. The new class can only be ranked as beginner, and can only be promoted once a year.


    This was precisely Su Xiruo''s current goal; to enter Divine Ranked Class, one had to have extremely high requirements for strength and talent!


    But now, he actually said that he was someone from the Mercenary Academy!


    In other words, even if his own strength qualified to enter the Divine Ranked Class, it was extremely likely that it would fall into his hands. After all, every year, there would only be a few new students that were accepted!


    Helian Yunqian ignored her surprise and went straight to the point: "Test your Spiritual Strength first."


    It was only then that Su Xiruo noticed the Spirit Stone in front of him, extended his right hand, and placed it on top.


    Moments later, the spirit stone had turned into a golden color. Its entire body was translucent, and its color was extraordinary.


    The guards at the side were all dumbstruck, a golden color, representing the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Master, while the brighter the color, the stronger the strength, this seemingly weak and weak girl, was actually a Heavenly Spirit Master!


    On the testing stone, five words slowly appeared: Five Star Heavenly Spirit Master!


    Regarding Su Xiruo''s strength, Helian Yunqian was not surprised, but because of the attribute, he found it a little strange.


    Metal, wood, water, fire, earth; she was not one of those attributes!


    Helian Yunqian stared at the Spirit Stone intently, only to see that in the upper right corner, the Spirit Stone''s attribute also revealed a gold color!


    "This... This is the Yang Attribute! " The jaws of the nearby guard were about to drop.


    Normally, Spirit Master would only have attributes after they were promoted to, and most of them were one of the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.


    However, not everyone was like this.


    In addition to the five regular attributes, there were two attributes, Yin and Yang, which were not restricted by the five regular attributes!


    Although Heavenly Spirit Master were rare, it was not like they had never seen such a thing before.


    It seemed like this time, their master was going to pick up a treasure, and had met such a talented student.


    "Mistress, this girl has great talent. If we carefully cultivate her, her future development will be limitless!"


    Helian Yunqian''s face revealed slight joy, but did not show it. He instructed the only guard beside him: "Go and pour Miss Su a cup of tea."


    "Yes sir!"


    Waiting until the guard went out, Su Xiruo then asked anxiously: "General Helian, can I be considered to have passed the test?"


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not hide anything, "With your strength, you should be able to successfully enter the Divine Ranked Class."


    Even he had said that there were no problems, so Su Xiruo was relieved: "Thank you, General Helian, then I will take my leave."


    Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Helian Yunqian cough lightly, and secretly glanced at his face, which was still pale white.


    Su Xiruo stopped and could not help but ask: "Your injuries... "How is it?"

 C57

    This girl actually knew how to take care of herself. The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth slightly rose, and for some reason, he felt a little happy in his heart.


    Thus, he calmly said, "It''s fine." Although he said this, he pretended to cough even harder. His face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.


    Su Xiruo''s heart skipped a beat, the guilt in his heart was obvious, so he squatted down in front of him and refused to leave: "I am Poison Master, let me see your wound."


    "Miss Su, isn''t it a bit inappropriate for you to let me take off my clothes here?" Helian Yunqian''s tone, no matter how you listened to it, sounded a little arrogant and spoiled.


    The meaning behind his words was like he was saying, "If you really see it, you have to take responsibility."


    "A physician, a physician, and is there such a taboo that cannot be broken?" Su Xiruo bit her lower lip, and for some reason, her cheeks started to feel hot.


    "Then the Miss Su will have to take it off himself." Helian Yunqian touched the vine.


    "If you have hands or feet, you can do it yourself. Don''t take an inch more than you can chew!" Su Xiruo was furious and angry at the same time. It was one thing for this fellow to act so haughtily, but he even wanted her to personally take off his clothes.


    Helian Yunqian looked into her eyes and pretended to be pitiful. "I would like to do that, but I am powerless in the current situation, so I have no choice but to let Miss Su do it for me."


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly. He originally wanted to turn around and leave, but his heart softened.


    Forget it, after all, she was still in the wrong so she might as well endure it for a while. If she really entered the Mercenary Academy in the future, she would probably have to spend some time with him in the future!


    In the end, she could only extend her hand and gently untie Helian Yunqian''s clothes, revealing her fair and smooth skin. This was the first time she realized that a man''s skin was this good.


    Suddenly, she pulled open her inner garment, revealing the sinister wound on her chest. It was in stark contrast with the flawless white skin around her.


    It was like a piece of unpolished jade that had suddenly gained a slight blemish. It was somewhat dazzling!


    Su Xiruo''s heart sank, his finger bones slowly drew across the blade, causing his heart to suddenly feel pain, it was extremely uncomfortable.


    But immediately, she regained her senses and tried her best to control her emotions. She took out the Healing Drug from the Storage Ring and carefully painted it on, her actions extremely light.


    Helian Yunqian lowered his head, looked at the girl''s guilty and patient look, and felt even more assured. She had her troubles, and could not hate her any more.


    "Alright." After wrapping up the wound, Su Xiruo took out a porcelain bottle and gave it to him, "This Healing Drug is given to you once a day. Within five days, you should be able to fully recover from your injuries."


    Helian Yunqian did not accept the poison, but grabbed onto her wrist instead, gently pulling her closer.


    "What are you doing?" Su Xiruo was a little nervous in his heart.


    "There''s something I''ll only ask you once. I won''t ask you again in the future."


    "Ask away!" Su Xiruo bit his lower lip as he spoke.


    "That day in the palace, you said that as long as my life was given to you, you would agree to marry me. But now, you almost took my life, can you consider marrying me?" Helian Yunqian smiled. Although his tone sounded a little teasing, Su Xiruo knew that he was serious.


    She suddenly felt as if she had fallen into this fellow''s trap!


    However, these words did not sound wrong. After all, he was the one who said it that day. After taking his life, he agreed to marry him!


    With the current situation, it was really hard to back down.


    Seeing her not say a word for a while, Helian Yunqian, who was originally slightly filled with anticipation, had an additional tinge of disappointment on his face. He slowly loosened his grip on her hand, "Alright, you don''t have to say anymore.


    "Wait!" In a split-second, Su Xiruo seemed to have suffered some sort of shock to her thoughts, as she hurriedly interrupted him.


    Helian Yunqian looked at her weirdly, but Su Xiruo didn''t know where he got the courage to say this. "These words of yours are too sudden, give me a few days time, let me think about it!"


    She had already made up her mind to say such words because she knew that if she rejected him this time, there would be no more possibilities for her and this man!


    She had originally thought that her feelings towards this man were just some sort of good impression and sudden passion.


    But in these three days, after she had returned to the Prime Minister''S Estate, she had been tossing and turning all day, sleepless nights. From that moment onwards, she knew that it was her wish, and Helian Yunqian that she could not let go!


    Even if she had violated her father and defied ethics, she would still admit that she couldn''t let this man go easily.


    Helian Yunqian was also shocked. She thought she had misheard and quickly asked: "What did you say just now?"


    "I said, give me a few days. Let me think about it." Su Xiruo let out a small sigh, as he let go of all the obsession in his heart, "Consider, this question of whether or not I should marry you."


    In the next second, Helian Yunqian was so excited that he did not know what to do, he never thought that this girl would actually agree so readily.


    "You can go back and think about it. No matter how long you think about it, I''ll wait for you."


    Su Xiruo nodded lightly, and then helped him pull his clothes: "Alright, it''s time to go back."


    "Master Helian!" At this time, a female voice that sounded somewhat willful entered his ears, he directly pushed the door open and entered without knocking, just in time to see the scene of Su Xiruo pulling Helian Yunqian''s clothes, "This ¡­ "Who is she?"


    The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in red, with a normal appearance, but her gaze on Su Xiruo was filled with jealousy and hatred.


    To be able to be so close to Master Helian, one must know that even after entering the Mercenary Academy for a year, she still did not have the opportunity to be close to General Helian.


    "Who allowed you to come in?" Who would have thought that Helian Yunqian''s expression would change the next second. Her cold tone of voice did not carry a trace of warmth, and compared to Ao Jiao''s tone just now, she sounded like a completely different person.


    "I... I''m here to report on today''s student recruitment. " The woman suddenly became scared. She quickly lowered her head and lowered her voice.


    Why was this girl so close to the Master Helian? As an old student, she would be scolded if she accidentally walked in and out once.


    "Get out!" Helian Yunqian didn''t even bother to glance at him as he coldly ordered.


    "Yes." The woman was afraid that she would anger him, so no matter how unwilling she was, she could only go out first. Before going out, she glared fiercely at Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo noticed the sinister look in her eyes, but didn''t mind it too much.


    "Come to the academy to report in a week later. The matter of the classes being divided will only be known after a week." Helian Yunqian looked into her eyes, and said indifferently.


    "Alright, then I should leave now."


    With that, she left the small room. At that moment, she could no longer see Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi.


    "Halt!" Just as she was about to leave, a slightly angry voice called out to her.


    Su Xiruo stopped to take a look. It was the student who did not follow the rules and barged in.


    "You must be a new student. To not even greet this senior sister of mine, you must be really rude!" The lady chased after him and blocked Su Xiruo''s path.


    Su Xiruo slightly frowned, as he felt a wave of oppressive aura approach him.


    This woman''s Heavenly Spirit Master, and her strength, might even be a little higher than his own.


    It looked like this Mercenary Academy was really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.


    However, Su Xiruo was not afraid of her, and said unhurriedly: I do not know you, why should I greet you?


    This woman''s words were really funny. He didn''t even know who she was, and yet she said hello!


    The woman saw that she did not know what was good for her, and was so angry that her face changed: "You braggart, you are just relying on your looks to hook up with the General Helian, let me tell you, in this Mercenary Academy, without strength, no matter how strong you are, it''s useless!"


    Su Xiruo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her words. What she meant was, she relied on her looks to take a shortcut?


    "Senior is right. In that case, can I leave now?" Su Xiruo did not want to argue with her, he just wanted to leave this place quickly.


    "What are you being arrogant for?" The more indifferent she became, the more the woman jumped up and down in anger, "Do you dare to accept my challenge? Today, I will teach this arrogant little girl a lesson! "

 C58

    It was unknown when there were a few more spectators around. Although they knew that this old student was bullying others, because they were afraid of the strength of the woman, none of them dared to interfere.


    "This new student is too arrogant, he actually dares to use such a tone to speak to Senior Sister Gu Wanyun!"


    "Yeah, in a while, she will be even better looking. Senior Sister Gu Wanyun is not so easy to mess with!"


    "Ai, poor new student. It''s not good to offend anyone, but I must offend her ¡­"


    A jumbled discussion came to Su Xiruo''s ears, he listened to every word of it, but did not put any of it to heart.


    "I don''t have the time to accept this kind of boring challenge. If Senior Sister really wants to challenge me, wait until I officially enter the academy then we''ll see!" After a long while, Su Xiruo rejected her with a few words.


    The girl was rejected like that, and she felt unresigned: "What, if you don''t dare, then speak frankly! If you want to leave, it won''t be that easy! "


    With that said, she gently made her move, the sharp wind from her palm struck towards Su Xiruo''s back, which Su Xiruo had already sensed before, he dodged to the side and grabbed her wrist.


    In that short exchange, the woman only felt a strong wave of Spiritual Strength surrounding Su Xiruo''s body, and at that moment, her wrist was unable to move, before she could even react, she was thrown backwards by Su Xiruo. The lady quickly retreated, and barely managed to stand on her feet.


    She! Is it also a Heavenly Spirit Master? Gu Wanyun''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    However, during that short exchange just now, he could tell that this girl truly had the strength of Heavenly Spirit Master. He had underestimated his opponent and had almost been made a joke by her.


    A wave of sighs rang out from the surroundings, mostly due to shock.


    This new student was actually able to catch Senior Sister Gu Wanyun''s attack, moreover, he was not at a disadvantage at all!


    "Hey, what''s your name?" Gu Wanyun asked coldly, as though he was very curious, who exactly was this girl.


    If he allowed her to enter the academy in the future, it would be no small threat to him.


    "You have no right to know my name." Su Xiruo glanced at her indifferently, then changed the subject and became stern, "However, your name is Gu Wanyun, right? I''ll remember it! "


    If someone does not offend me, I will not offend them, but if they bully me, I will definitely repay them double, there is nothing to be afraid of, Su Xiruo had always thought this in his heart.


    Everyone was stunned by the girl''s words.


    Was the new student challenging the older student? He hadn''t even entered the academy yet and he was already acting so arrogantly!


    After saying that, Su Xiruo did not have the heart to stay in this place with so many people.


    "Damn it!" Gu Wanyun was flustered and exasperated, but she had nowhere to vent it on. Although she did not know the girl''s name, she firmly remembered her face.


    The surrounding people who were spectating for fun had all left, they didn''t even dare to come and touch Gu Wanyun.


    "Sister Wanyun!" At this moment, a sweet female voice was heard.


    Gu Wanyun turned his head, it was Su Biyue. Su Biyue came over with a big smile on his face and grabbed her arm: "Sister Wanyun, calm down, don''t bother about the new students."


    Although the Gu Family that Gu Wanyun belonged to was not a clan with Dragon Seal Empire, its patriarch was on good terms with him through the generations. In addition to Su Biyue''s gentle personality, the relationship between the two was still pretty good.


    "I just can''t stand her arrogance." Gu Wanyun snorted coldly, and asked her, "Right, looking at her clothes, she should also be someone from the Dragon Seal Empire. Do you know her name?"


    Su Biyue laughed, and did not hide anything: "That''s right, she is the daughter of the Su Family in the capital of the Dragon Seal Empire, Su Xiruo, she can be considered to be acquainted with me."


    "Su Xiruo." Gu Wanyun curled his fingers tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Heh, I remember this name."


    "Big Sister Wanyun, don''t be angry, that Su Xiruo is truly talented, and adding that she is somewhat pretty, we have to rope her in. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be so confident and confident." On the surface, Su Biyue''s tone of voice was calm, but actually, he was just trying to sow discord.


    Indeed, Su Biyue was also extremely jealous of Su Xiruo in his heart, jealous that she was able to walk so close to General Helian, and General Helian was also very special to her.


    She was jealous, why wasn''t that person her? Why did she miss that person for such a long time, and not look at her at all, yet feel joy for Su Xiruo!


    "Heh, so you really are here to seduce the Master Helian!" Hearing that, Gu Wanyun was no longer in a good mood, "However, after she enters the academy, she will have a good time in the future!"


    Su Biyue laughed and did not say anything, thinking, Su Xiruo had not even entered the academy yet and he had already offended a big shot of the academy.


    "Sister Wanyun, you are so talented, are you afraid of being overshadowed by a new student? "Don''t be angry about it." Su Biyue, on the other hand, knew how to change the topic, "How about this, you go take a look around. After I report my name, go take a walk with elder sister!"


    "Mm. Little Sister Bi Yue, since you''re so understanding, then I''ll go take a walk by myself." Gu Wanyun was quite friendly with Su Biyue.


    After all, Su Biyue had always been a gentle, virtuous and gentle person. His strength, after all, was not particularly strong.


    After Gu Wanyun left, Su Biyue retracted the smile on his face, and in an instant, his expression changed. His previous friendliness, was clearly an act.


    She turned around and stood outside the room. She wanted to go in, but she did not know how she should go in. If she went in directly, would General Helian get tired of her?


    At this moment, a guard outside the room slowly walked in front of her. "Bi Yue, are you here to register?"


    The guard''s gaze towards her was obviously reserved, and when he spoke, he was a bit nervous.


    Su Biyue shot a glance at him. He more or less had an impression of this guard.


    Zhang Bingde, a second-rate bodyguard by the General Helian''s side, had always had a good impression of her, regardless of whether his identity was high or low. However, Su Biyue simply did not fancy her, and her target was Helian Yunqian!


    However, Zhang Bingde could still be considered as one of the people close to Helian Yunqian, so he would still pay attention to her from time to time, as she was still useful.


    "Yeah, is General Helian inside?" Su Biyue asked.


    "It''s inside, Bi Yue. Why don''t I go notify them that you''re going in again?" Zhang Bingde thought about it carefully. After all, he knew the character of a general and did not like people who came uninvited.


    Su Biyue nodded his head lightly in agreement.


    Therefore, Zhang Bingde carefully opened the door and entered. At this time, Helian Yunqian was casually looking at the register.


    "General, Su Family''s second young miss, Su Biyue, is outside and would like to come in to register. I don''t know ¡­"


    "Before reaching the level of Heavenly Spirit Master, let''s just let her register according to the proper procedures." Helian Yunqian interrupted him, showing no mercy.


    He didn''t care which family the young mistress belonged to!


    "Yes sir!" Zhang Bingde did not dare to refute the general''s words, and could only leave with his tail between his legs.


    "How is it, did General Helian say anything?" Seeing him come out, Su Biyue anxiously went forward and asked.


    Zhang Bingde let out a helpless sigh. "I''m sorry, Bi Yue, the general said just now that only people of the Heavenly Spirit Master or above can register with him, so ¡­"


    Su Biyue curled his fingers tightly, he had no idea how much he hated Yue Yang to death.


    She had been stuck at the level of a nine star Spirit Master for a long time now, and this level could be said to be the most awkward of realms. It wouldn''t be high or low if she wanted to enter the Divine Ranked Class.


    "Alright, I''ll be going then!"


    Seeing Su Biyue''s disappointed expression, Zhang Bingde became a little anxious and hurriedly blocked her way: "Bi Yue, don''t be angry. I''m useless, I can''t give you the privilege."


    "Enough of that, I''m still in a hurry to register!" Su Biyue interrupted Zhang Bingde, and without even looking at him once, he turned and left in a hurry.

 C59

    Su Xiruo passed through layer after layer of people but did not see Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi. In desperation, he decided to return by himself first.


    Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.


    It''s Lin Yuan! Why was he here?


    Su Xiruo hurried forward and appeared in front of Lin Yuan, asking him with a cold expression: "Lin Yuan, what are you doing?"


    Lin Yuan laughed disapprovingly: "I am here to sign up for Mercenary Academy, if not why would I be here?"


    When Su Xiruo saw his naughty smile, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. "Lin Yuan, what do you mean?


    "Why would I spy on you?" Lin Yuan pretended to be innocent, "High Lord was worried that you would not be able to get the upper hand by yourself, so he asked me to help.


    Su Xiruo was well aware that her father had said for Lin Yuan to help her out, and in truth, it was just a disguised surveillance. However, on this layer of paper, she could not directly poke a hole through it.


    "I don''t need your help. Father should have more things to take care of. Go back and help Father take care of the Poison Sect!" Su Xiruo rejected him tactfully, refusing to let him follow along.


    However, Lin Yuan refused to forgive: "Young Master, I also don''t want to do this, but you know, even if you don''t like me, that is still the order of the High Lord. How could I dare to disobey the orders of the High Lord?"


    Su Xiruo was at a loss for words, he did not know how to answer. "Alright, you have to go against me, don''t you?"


    "I didn''t." Lin Yuan shook his head.


    "Then what do you mean?"


    Lin Yuan then explained to her: "Young Master, I am not talking about you, you are probably too naive, this Mercenary Academy is as strong as the clouds, it is not as simple as you think, I am already a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, in the entire academy, there are not many people who are my match, but you, as a five star Heavenly Spirit Master, even if we talk about it like this, my odds of winning are much higher than yours right? If you fall and fall, then don''t you still have me? "


    Lin Yuan''s idea was simple, you are too weak, High Lord and I do not believe in you, so I came to help you!


    Su Xiruo hated this kind of arrogant tone the most, but who knew that her current strength was inferior to Lin Yuan''s?


    From the bottom of her heart, she secretly swore to herself that she would definitely smack Lin Yuan''s face so that he and her father could clearly see who exactly was the most reliable person!


    "Alright, since you insist, then I have nothing else to say." Su Xiruo coldly snorted, "Oh right, there''s always someone stronger than you, there''s always someone stronger. Don''t think that just because you have a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, you can dominate us all in your Mercenary Academy, you should just relax!"


    Throwing these words down, Su Xiruo turned and left.


    Lin Yuan looked at her back, and was quite proud in his heart: "Heh, you little brat, you actually dare to teach me a lesson? You truly do not know your limits! "


    Firstly, Su Xiruo was young, and secondly, in terms of Poison Sect, Su Xiruo''s strength could not be considered to be at the top. At most, he would be considered to have extraordinary talent.


    He really couldn''t understand why High Lord wanted to take her as his daughter. He would use his own strength to prove that he was stronger than Su Xiruo!


    At this time, Liu Sheng passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Lin Yuan: "Sir, my master invites you over!"


    Lin Yuan sized him up and felt a strong wave of Spiritual Strength.


    Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master!


    Seeing that Liu Sheng was only dressed as an ordinary follower, and actually had the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Master, then his master''s identity should be extraordinary.


    Thus, Lin Yuan followed along.


    The moment Su Xiruo returned to the Su Palace, he discovered that Su Yuanqing was guarding her residence, waiting for her to return.


    "Xiruo, how is it? You should have passed the academy''s test, right?" The moment Su Yuanqing arrived, he immediately asked a bunch of questions, "Which class are you assigned to? Profound Rank class or Heavenly Ranked Class? "


    Being asked like that by Lin Yuan, Su Xiruo''s mood was already not very good. After being asked like this, even his head was spinning, so he could only reply perfunctorily: "He probably passed. As for which class he was assigned to, we''ll only know after he goes to the academy to report a week later."


    "It''s good that you''ve passed. It''s good that you''ve passed." Su Yuanqing was extremely gratified. One had to know that Su Jinxi had just become a profound practitioner not long ago, and thus barely met the requirements to enter the Mercenary Academy.


    He never thought that Su Xiruo would actually pass in a moment, and with her strength, she would definitely be able to get a High Ranked class.


    "Master, I''ve been out for an entire day. I''m a little tired now and want to rest." Su Xiruo tactfully ordered him to leave, wanting to be alone and in peace.


    "Okay, Xiruo, you rest first. Father even prepared a banquet for me tonight. Many ministers will come." Su Yuanqing felt that he had lost face from the bottom of his heart and wished that everyone in the capital would come over to have a good time.


    Su Xiruo sighed slightly, and didn''t know whether to laugh or cry: "Old master, there''s no need for a celebratory feast, who would be so high-profile to become a student? If this is spread out, I''m afraid you will be criticized again! "


    Would this old guy even know how to conduct himself? Did he not know that just because Mercenary Academy experts were everywhere, he was able to pass a student recruitment?


    If this matter were to spread out, the entire academy would definitely think that she was someone who didn''t know her place.


    "But, this ¡­" Su Yuanqing still wanted to celebrate.


    "I said there''s no need for that!" Su Xiruo''s tone sounded a little impatient.


    Su Yuanqing was unable to force her, he could only agree: "Sigh, since you do not like it, then forget it, you just said that you will go to the Academy to report a week later, if there is anything that you need, feel free to tell father that father is preparing it for you!"


    "Then I''ll tell you that now, so that you don''t have to worry about it too many times." Towards this so called father, Su Xiruo was also not polite at all.


    "Just say it!" Su Yuanqing naturally did his best to fulfill her request.


    After all, if Su Xiruo really did enter either the Heavenly Ranked Class or the Divine Ranked Class, it could be said to be a matter of honor and glory to his ancestors, and he was counting on it to curry her favor in the future.


    "I need some silver taels and some basic herbs. Prepare some more for me." Su Xiruo was well aware that these medicinal ingredients would definitely be used frequently after entering the Academy.


    If he prepared in advance, he might be able to save a lot of effort.


    There was a ready-made Su Family medicine warehouse, so she didn''t want it for free.


    "Sure, sure." Su Yuanqing did not even blink his eyes as he agreed. He then asked, "How much silver and medicinal ingredients do you need?"


    Su Xiruo thought for a moment, then said: "First, prepare three thousand gold. As for ingredients, bring me everything that is in the medicine warehouse!"


    After she finished speaking, she took out a Storage Ring from her bosom and handed it over to Su Yuanqing without the slightest bit of embarrassment.


    While he was still here, he wanted to plunder Su Yuanqing''s secrets!


    This was what Su Yuanqing owed him. All the things that he had asked for back then were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.


    But, with such a number, Su Yuanqing''s eyeballs nearly popped out: "Ah? "Oh, Xiruo, if I didn''t say so, what''s the use of having so much gold and medicinal ingredients?"


    She was going to empty out the entire Su Family!


    "Of course I did." Su Xiruo''s tone sounded extremely relaxed, "Since I''m at the Mercenary Academy, I naturally have to learn how to make spirit medicine poisons. If I want to learn it well, I''ll have to look at the herbs and practice with them."


    Seeing Su Yuanqing''s heart that was being twisted, Su Xiruo was actually extremely happy, and deliberately asked: "Master, you can''t be reluctant about the ingredients and gold, right? If you are unwilling, forget it! "


    "No, no, no." Su Yuanqing immediately took the Storage Ring, and was about to slap her face until it became fat, "Why would I be unwilling? "Xiruo, as long as it can raise your strength, whatever you want, as long as you open your mouth, father is willing to give it to you!"


    "Un, thank you, old master." Su Xiruo nodded, and subconsciously thanked him.


    "We''re all family, no need to be polite." On the surface, Su Yuanqing was smiling, but his heart was bleeding. "Then, you should rest well.


    With that, Su Yuanqing took the Storage Ring that Su Xiruo gave him, sighed, and turned to leave the courtyard.


    Su Xiruo glanced at his leaving back, laughed disdainfully, and returned to his room.

 C60

    Lin Yuan followed Liu Sheng all the way to one of the rooms. The room was extremely quiet, and only a man in white sat on the seat in front.


    Helian Yunqian! How could it be him?


    Immediately, Lin Yuan had a bad premonition in his heart. He took a step back, and just as he was about to leave, he realized that the door behind him had already closed tight.


    "They''re already here. Why don''t they sit and leave?" Helian Yunqian slowly raised his eyes, and his tone sounded casual.


    Lin Yuan felt a little guilty, as if his words sounded weird. He turned around and looked at Liu Sheng, obviously displeased: "What''s the meaning of this, why did you trick me into coming to this place?"


    "Heh, didn''t I just tell you that my master wants to see you?" Liu Sheng on the other hand, seemed to be righteous and confident, "You''re just a person with Poison Sect, why are you being so arrogant here?"


    Liu Sheng''s words had exposed his identity, and did not leave him any face.


    Immediately, Lin Yuan opened his eyes wide, the guilt in his heart obvious: "What are you talking about, I don''t understand! Let me tell you, you will have to pay the price for wrongly accusing people! "


    One must know, if Helian Yunqian were to find out that he was actually someone from the Poison Sect, that would mean that with his identity, it was impossible for him to enter the Mercenary Academy.


    After all, Mercenary Academy was a person who never accepted Poison Sect!


    "Since when did the people from Poison Sect become so arrogant?" Helian Yunqian slowly said, his eyes sharp and cold, "You actually dared to brazenly come here to sign up!"


    This Lin Yuan, did he really think that they were blind?


    Lin Yuan''s fingers curled tightly, and stared at him coldly, thinking, this guy''s eyes, are truly sinister!


    But after thinking about it carefully, with Helian Yunqian''s strength, it would not be difficult for him to see everything that he was capable of.


    However, he noticed unexpectedly that Helian Yunqian''s face looked haggard, the color of her lips were so pale that there was not a trace of blood on it, looking at her, she seemed to be heavily injured, and had not fully recovered.


    Knowing that the other party was severely injured, Lin Yuan immediately calmed his fear in his heart. Sneering coldly, he began to lose all face, "What kind of evidence do you have to prove that I am someone from the Poison Sect?"


    "Those spies that the Poison Sect have sent, they are truly shameless!" Liu Sheng could not help but curse.


    "Lin Yuan." Helian Yunqian stared at him, and only felt that what he said sounded a little funny, "Do you want me to tie you up and bring you to the old man in Poison Sovereign to confront him, so that you would be willing to admit it?"


    "How dare you!"


    "Why don''t I dare?" Helian Yunqian did not have the slightest bit of fear towards Poison Sect, with just a flick of his sleeve, he knocked Lin Yuan down to the ground with an unreasonable force.


    In almost an instant of effort, Lin Yuan still had not reacted to it, he only felt that his entire body could not move at all, and for the first time, he felt the extreme disparity in strength.


    Indeed, in front of a Spirit Sovereign, he was no different from an ant.


    "Today, even if I mince you and feed you to the dogs, sprinkle your ashes in front of the Poison Sect''s entrance, that old bastard Poison Sovereign won''t dare to do anything to me!" Helian Yunqian seemed to be indifferent, but he was extremely arrogant.


    Lin Yuan''s fingers curled tightly together, yet he did not know how to refute it. He only felt that the force from his body was growing increasingly stronger, causing him to be unable to move even a single inch. He could only beg for forgiveness: "I admit, just say it!"


    Seeing that he had given in, Helian Yunqian gently stopped. Lin Yuan got up from the ground in a sorry state and said helplessly: "That''s right, I am indeed from the Poison Sect, but if I were to say something, you will be disappointed!"


    "Speak!" he ordered coldly.


    "You probably don''t know, but Su Xiruo is also a member of my Poison Sect!" Lin Yuan laughed, and then simply broke into pieces. He was not easy to deal with, and he could not let Su Xiruo be easy to deal with, "The woman that you care about, has a goal to get close to you!"


    Helian Yunqian slightly frowned, revealing a bit of astonishment between his brows.


    He had already sensed it long ago, that Xi''er was a Poison Master, and one that wasn''t low in rank either. But he had never thought that she was actually someone from the Poison Sect as well!


    "What do you mean?" Since his master did not say anything, Liu Sheng was the first to become anxious, and asked, "Su Xiruo approached my master, just what is his intention?"


    "Heh." Lin Yuan sneered, "Naturally, it''s for the sake of getting your Beast Core, to honor her good father."


    "Poison Sovereign is Xi Ruo''s father?" Helian Yunqian''s tone was exceptionally calm, but his heart was in pain.


    Xiruo, what have you been through all these years?


    "That''s right!" "Our High Lord needs a Yin Attribute Seventh Rank Beast Core to heal her wounds, so for the sake of filial piety, Su Xiruo naturally has to think of a way to obtain it. Helian Yunqian, do you really think she likes you? It''s just that it has a purpose! "


    Lin Yuan was an extremely selfish person, he would rather give up this chance to obtain the Beast Core than let Su Xiruo, that girl, gain merits in front of the High Lord!


    Otherwise, if Su Xiruo really took out the Beast Core and gave it to the High Lord, he would probably be able to sit firmly in the position of Poison Sect''s Young Master.


    Helian Yunqian''s face revealed a little astonishment. Of course, he wouldn''t be stupid enough to believe this person''s words and decide what kind of person Xi Ruo was.


    Seeing Helian Yunqian in a daze, with a dazed look, and thinking that he was still heavily injured, Lin Yuan''s fingers tightened, the Spiritual Strength that had been accumulating energy for a long time suddenly moved, flying straight towards Helian Yunqian''s chest.


    Anyways, he might not be able to escape death today, so he might as well fight it out and take this fellow''s Beast Core!


    That attack was extremely fast, and caught Liu Sheng off guard. Before even had time to react, he could only cry out: "Master, be careful!"


    Helian Yunqian casually turned his head, and only until his palm was less than a centimeter away from his chest, did he gracefully swing it, sending Lin Yuan flying backwards.


    Ah!" Lin Yuan''s body heavily crashed into the copper cauldron on the side. He only felt that the arm that he just used was actually powerless and could not even move.


    Are all Spirit Sovereign this terrifying? Even if he was severely injured, with his own 9-star Heavenly Spirit Master, he still wouldn''t be able to get close to him!


    "Helian Yunqian, consider yourself lucky today!" Lin Yuan could only raise his fist and smash the ground.


    Helian Yunqian seemed to be able to see through his intention, he laughed and ridiculed: "You want to take my Beast Core too? Unfortunately, you are not qualified enough. There might be a possibility for the old man from Poison Sovereign to personally come! "


    Being beaten up by him until he lost all dignity, Lin Yuan really wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    "Helian Yunqian, kill me if you dare! However, I am thinking if you can deal with the people with Poison Sect impartially! " Therefore, Lin Yuan could only use Su Xiruo as a threat, "If I am unable to enter the Mercenary Academy, then as a person of the Poison Sect, Su Xiruo does not seem to have the qualifications to enter, right? Master Helian, you must treat us equally! "


    He thought, if Helian Yunqian was truly impartial, then Su Xiruo would not be able to enter the Academy, and if he failed his first mission, High Lord would definitely be disappointed!


    But who knew that Helian Yunqian didn''t seem to care and instead smiled: "Who said I wouldn''t let you enter the Mercenary Academy?"


    "You ¡­ "What do you mean?" Lin Yuan raised his head, a little confused as to what this fellow was trying to say, "I am someone of the Poison Sect!"


    Following that, Lin Yuan seemed to have a new idea in his heart.


    Could it be that he felt that giving up a student with a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master was too much of a pity, and allowed him to enter the academy?


    "So what if it''s someone from the Poison Sect? Not only do I let you in, I also want to see with my own eyes how you will be taught a lesson in the Mercenary Academy." Helian Yunqian smiled noncommittally, as if he could read through his thoughts.


    This Lin Yuan, she thought that with just a bit of ability, she could make the talented students of Divine Ranked Class proud.


    There was always someone stronger than him, there was always someone stronger. If he could enter the Mercenary Academy with such a mentality, he would be taught a lesson sooner or later!


    Moreover, the reason why he allowed Lin Yuan to enter the Academy was firstly, because he felt that this guy posed no threat whatsoever to him, and could be disregarded. Secondly, he wanted to personally see Lin Yuan becoming Xi Ruo''s defeated opponent one day!

 C61

    "Helian Yunqian, although I am not your match, but against a few students, it is still more than enough." Currently, Lin Yuan was only eighteen years old, and already had nine star Heavenly Spirit Master.


    It could be said that he was a rare genius with exceptional talent. Ever since he was young, he had never encountered any difficulties, so he naturally didn''t place any importance on those people.


    So he felt that one day, he would still be able to trample on Helian Yunqian.


    As for this kind of ''opponent'', Helian Yunqian had never placed it in his eyes. He lightly waved his hand: "Scram, go back and report to your High Lord!"


    "Mistress, are you sure you want to let him go?" Liu Sheng was a little worried.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian only replied with this one word.


    He felt that with the addition of Lin Yuan, the Divine Ranked Class in the future would probably be a lot more fun!


    Receiving Helian Yunqian''s pardon, Lin Yuan felt overwhelmed and immediately stood up, wanting to leave but not daring to.


    "Hurry up and f * ck off, you''re waiting for death?" Seeing that he still did not leave, Helian Yunqian became impatient.


    Only then did Lin Yuan come back to his senses and hurriedly ran out, afraid that he would go back on his word.


    "Master, you''re letting the tiger return to the mountain!" Liu Sheng was still a little worried, "When he had a tumor in his Mercenary Academy, he placed a ticking time bomb inside!"


    Helian Yunqian said in an indifferent tone, "Don''t worry, people with Divine Ranked Class are not weak either."


    Liu Sheng looked at his own buddhist master and sighed helplessly. He could only change the topic: "Master, I really didn''t think that the Miss Su was actually a person with Poison Sect! So it turns out that she has a motive for getting close to you! "Mistress, how are you going to deal with her?"


    I knew it, that stone-hearted woman had ill intentions!


    Mentioning Su Xiruo, a few more ripples appeared in Helian Yunqian''s originally calm eyes, "I believe that Xiruo, was definitely not like what he said."


    He would never believe the words of others. Regarding this matter, he had to personally ask Xiruo before he could believe the truth.


    "If it wasn''t what he said, then what else could it be?" Liu Sheng found it hard to listen on, "Master, the fact that Su Xiruo dared to attack you so viciously is enough to explain everything!"


    "I also suddenly thought of what happened that day," Helian Yunqian gradually sorted out his own thoughts, "That day, I vaguely sensed that someone was secretly monitoring us. Thinking about it now, it was Lin Yuan secretly monitoring Xiruo, so if Xi''er was forced into a corner, she could only injure me with her sword and let Lin Yuan see when the time comes.


    He roughly understood Xiruo''s intentions, and became even more certain in his heart. This matter, Xiruo had simply been forced to do it on her own.


    "Is that right?" Hearing that, Liu Sheng felt that Master''s words made sense, "So you''re saying, I wrongly accused Miss Su?"


    Helian Yunqian did not answer his question, instead, she impatiently opened her mouth and said: "This matter is extremely strange, Master, why don''t I invite Miss Su over, and ask for him personally?"


    "No need," Helian Yunqian wasn''t anxious at all, it was as if he had everything under control, "I don''t need to do anything, I can just quietly wait for her answer."


    "What answer?" Liu Sheng didn''t really understand.


    And Helian Yunqian also did not directly say it out loud, so he naturally had a plan in his heart.


    It was a bustling and luxurious restaurant in the capital, and there was an uninterrupted stream of people coming and going.


    Su Biyue, dressed in low-key casual attire, sat at the most corner of the restaurant with his head lowered. From time to time, he anxiously looked outside, as if he was waiting for something.


    At this time, a man entered the restaurant and went straight to Su Biyue''s side, sitting opposite of her. It was Zhang Bingde.


    "It''s been a few days already. He said he''s trying to find a solution for me. Have you thought about it?" Su Biyue''s tone carried a slight sense of blame.


    In order to curry favor with Su Biyue, Zhang Bingde had promised her that he would think of a way to let her enter the Divine Ranked Class. But right now, the lowest requirement to enter the Divine Ranked Class s, was the Heavenly Spirit Master s.


    "Bi Yue, don''t worry." "I just received the latest news, although this Divine Ranked Class''s threshold requires the level of Heavenly Spirit Master, in a few days, when you enter, there will be a Divine Ranked Class assessment test. Thus, any student of Heavenly Ranked Class can pick one of the Divine Ranked Class to challenge, and if the challenge is successful, you can enter the Divine Ranked Class."


    He thought that since Bi Yue was currently a Nine Star, she could be said to be an outstanding existence in the Heavenly Ranked Class. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to successfully challenge her.


    "Are you joking with me?" Su Biyue mocked, "It''s not like you don''t know the difference between a nine star Spirit Master s and a one star Heavenly Spirit Master, right? Under normal circumstances, they would not even be considered to be on the same level as you. What do you want me to take to win against a Heavenly Spirit Master? "


    The current Su Biyue, in front of Zhang Bingde, was just like a shrew who was cursing. His usual gentle and virtuous appearance was completely gone.


    "Bi Yue, I know, this might be difficult for you." Zhang Bingde lowered his head, "So, I''ve thought of another way for you."


    With that said, he took out a spirit medicine from his bosom and placed it in Su Biyue''s hands.


    "This is?" When Su Biyue saw the quality of the spirit medicine, he felt that it was very extraordinary.


    "I took this out from my General''S Estate to increase my Ling Dan." Zhang Bingde patiently explained to her, "Eating this would allow your strength to instantly increase by one or two levels. Moreover, this medicine is very powerful, so the naked eye would not be able to see it. It''s dangerous for the body. "


    Hearing till here, Su Biyue''s eyes went straight. Who cares if it was dangerous or not, as long as he could smoothly enter the Divine Ranked Class, he could do anything!


    "Zhang Bingde, I never thought that you could do things pretty well sometimes." Su Biyue''s face instantly changed, as his face bloomed into a smile.


    Zhang Bingde let out a small sigh, "Bi Yue, I actually think that ¡­ The Heavenly Ranked Class is also pretty good, I don''t want you to hurt your own body, so you had to force yourself to run over to the Divine Ranked Class ¡­ "


    He was only worried that the side effects of the spirit medicine would harm Su Biyue''s body.


    But Su Biyue, simply could not listen to such words, and unhappily said: "Alright, alright, where did all this rubbish come from? With such abundant resources in Heavenly Ranked Class, who wouldn''t want to push their way in? "All I can say is that you still don''t understand the thoughts in my heart."


    "You''re right." Zhang Bingde was also speechless.


    "Alright." After obtaining the spirit medicine as he wished, Su Biyue''s goal was achieved, and he stood up, "It''s time for me to return, I''ll remember this favor of yours."


    She casually said while patting Zhang Bingde on the shoulder, and then turned and left.


    Zhang Bingde looked at her back, lost in thought for a very long time, as if he was talking to himself. "Bi Yue, I''m willing to do anything for you."


    Every day, he would spend a large amount of time cultivating the Spiritual Strength. After all, she knew in her heart that people with Divine Ranked Class had strength and background.


    With her strength, even if she entered, she would only be a mediocre person. Therefore, she had to work even harder to raise her Spiritual Strength.


    When dusk approached, Su Xiruo, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, opened his eyes. Looking at the Can Meng in front of him, he seemed to have gained another shred of sharpness.


    After spending so much effort, she finally managed to upgrade the Can Meng to a primary Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact. But compared to her current strength, a primary Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact was not enough either.


    Although her advantage lay in her attributes, this Spiritual Artifact wasn''t very strong, and could be considered as a small disadvantage for her, so she might lose out.


    She kept the Can Meng. At this moment, she felt a bit hungry in her stomach.


    "Miss, Miss Sparks is here to see you." At this time, Qing Yuan''s voice came from outside the door, interrupting her train of thoughts.

 C62

    Su Xiruo got up, cleared himself up a little, and pushed open the door to go see Ye Zhuozhuo.


    "Brilliant, why are you here?" Seeing Ye Zhuozhuo''s happy expression, Su Xiruo asked, "Did something good happen?"


    "Yeah, isn''t it tomorrow? Are we going to report to the Mercenary Academy?" Ye Zhuozhuo smiled, "That''s why I wanted to call you over to General''S Estate today. My brother will send you off to see us off.


    "Oh, so it''s like that." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip. When he heard that they were going to the General''S Estate, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, nervous from anticipation.


    A week ago in that house, she had never forgotten what Helian Yunqian had told her. If she had really gone to General''S Estate today, would he have asked her about the answer?


    However, she hadn''t even thought of how to answer him yet, so how could she face him now?


    "What''s wrong, Xiruo, do you not want to go?" Ye Zhuozhuo could see that her expression was a little strange, he felt that it was a little strange, "Could it be that you do not want to see brother?"


    "No, not either." Su Xiruo laughed and denied it, pretending to not care.


    "Since that''s not the case, then come with us. Wouldn''t it be wonderful if we all start from General''S Estate tomorrow?" Ye Zhuozhuo did not care so much, and pulled her hand to leave.


    "Wait, wait." For a moment, Su Xiruo didn''t know how to explain it to her. Seeing Ye Zhuozhuo looking at him with an astonished expression, Su Xiruo changed his words and said, "Wait for me ¡­ I''ll go with you after I change my clothes! "


    "Alright, then I''ll be waiting for you outside!" Seeing that she had agreed, Ye Zhuozhuo was quite happy in his heart.


    Su Xiruo returned to his room and closed the door. He was inexplicably nervous in his heart, and that kind of tense feeling was even more unbearable than facing a Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    "Mistress, what''s wrong?" From within his sleeves, Mu Jin suddenly spoke.


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment, then flung out his Chinese Kite and it coincidentally landed in front of the window.


    "You go out first, I want to change!" Su Xiruo said indifferently.


    "Oh, okay." Mu Jin could only reluctantly go out.


    Closing the window, Su Xiruo looked at the clothes in the closet and started to feel troubled.


    Which was more suitable for him? If you dress too brightly, won''t you look very tacky? Too clean. Would it make him look like he had lost all his energy? He ¡­ What would he like?


    After he was at a loss for a long time, Su Xiruo shook his head, feeling that he was going to be bewitched.


    Why did he have to care about that guy''s thoughts? Why couldn''t he just wear whatever he wanted?


    Forget it, there''s no need to be conflicted!


    Su Xiruo then took out a set of clothes and quickly changed it. Then, he went out with Ye Zhuozhuo.


    General''S Estate.


    When the two of them arrived at the General''S Estate, the sky had already darkened. Ye Zhuozhuo brought Su Xiruo to the inner hall.


    "Miss Su, you truly are an esteemed guest. Let us wait for you for such a long time." Mu Lingxi even teased her on purpose.


    "Ruo Ruo, come, sit down. Treat this place like your own home, there''s no need to be courteous." Ye Zhuozhuo pulled Ye Zhuozhuo along, and even intentionally arranged for her to sit next to him.


    He smiled and greeted Helian Yunqian: General Helian, I haven''t seen you for a few days. How have you been?


    "It''s pretty good. What about you?" he asked.


    "I... "It''s pretty good." For a moment, Su Xiruo actually didn''t know what to say. It was probably because he felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and after drinking a mouthful of the wine on the table, he intentionally changed the topic, "This wine isn''t bad."


    Helian Yunqian smiled noncommittally, as if he saw through the little girl''s awkwardness, he then took the initiative to raise his wine cup and said: "Tomorrow, the three of you will be heading to the Mercenary Academy, so tonight, I will properly send you off, and wish you all the best."


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were actually quite happy, as they raised their cups and drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely carefree.


    "Sigh, what a pity." Ye Zhuozhuo put down his wine cup, and sighed lightly, "It''s all my fault for being too disappointing. This time, I might at most just be assigned to the Profound Rank Class, I can''t be together with you guys."


    A Xi was originally a student in the elementary Divine Ranked Class, and if Ruo Ruo was also as strong as A Xi, she would definitely be able to enter the Divine Ranked Class as well.


    "It doesn''t matter." Mu Lingxi didn''t mind at all, "The entire academy is only at such a small place, aren''t we supposed to be together every day?"


    "Brilliant, no need to worry. Your medical talent is extremely good, and you should be able to reach the Divine Ranked Class very soon." Su Xiruo comforted her.


    "Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo nodded his head, with a look of "Wait until I get to the Academy, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, and catch up to your pace as soon as possible!"


    Just because his strength was weaker by a large margin, he could not be divided with A Xi, so just thinking about it made him feel a little sad.


    However, she had to prove herself. She had to catch up to A Xi as soon as possible!


    "Sure." Mu Lingxi smiled at her, "Shining, Xiruo and I will wait for you at Divine Ranked Class."


    Subsequently, Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were in high spirits as they talked a lot. Su Xiruo only drank his wine and occasionally interjected a few words, but didn''t say anything the entire time.


    "A Xi, why aren''t you drinking anymore? Quickly, continue accompanying me!" Ye Zhuozhuo''s face was bright red, obviously drunk.


    Mu Lingxi was not much better off either, as he reached out to grab the Feather Wing in Ye Zhuozhuo''s hands: "Stop drinking, how much have you drank?"


    Su Xiruo looked at the two who were laughing and cursing, and he felt extremely happy, he could not help but laugh, and was truly happy for them from the bottom of his heart.


    "Xiruo, drink less." Helian Yunqian snatched the feather that Su Xiruo was about to lift and said indifferently, "Tomorrow, you still have to get up early and hurry back."


    Su Xiruo raised his head, his fair cheeks revealing a bit of a blush and a bit of drunkenness, but his consciousness was still clear. "General Helian, then from now on, will I not be able to see you anymore?"


    Leave the capital, leave the Dragon Seal Empire, there won''t be many more chances to meet each other in the future.


    "If you can''t see me anymore, will you be disappointed?" Helian Yunqian asked seriously, as if he really wanted to know the answer.


    Su Xiruo laughed, and her red cheeks looked extremely adorable: "I do."


    She didn''t know where she had gotten the impulse to spit out the two words.


    Hearing her say that, Helian Yunqian was still quite happy in his heart. Even though he knew that she might just casually say it, he couldn''t help but feel excited.


    After a long time, he slowly spoke, "I saw someone the day you went to register. I assume you know him."


    "Who did you see?"


    "Lin Yuan." he blurted out.


    Hearing this name, Su Xiruo opened her eyes wide, and even her fingerbone couldn''t help but tremble. Looking at Helian Yunqian''s eyes, she could roughly guess that he probably knew everything!


    "So ¡­" You know it. " However, she still maintained a calm face and didn''t show any signs of panic.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, "He told me everything, including ¡­ about Poison Sect. "


    Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tightly, the nervousness in his heart was self-evident.


    This damnable Lin Yuan, it''s fine that he was exposed, but he even had to expose her!


    However, it had already been seen through, so Su Xiruo had nothing to hide, so he casually admitted: "That''s right, I''m someone from the Poison Sect. You finally saw through my true colors, right? "


    She thought, Helian Yunqian should know that she wanted to take away his Beast Core. At this moment, she should be very disappointed in herself.


    Su Xiruo looked into his eyes, although he looked casual on the surface, in his heart, he was already nervous to the extreme.

 C63

    After a long while, Helian Yunqian raised the Feathered Goose and downed it in one gulp. Only then did he slowly open his mouth and say: "Xiruo, I don''t believe in the words of others. I only believe in you."


    Other than the truth that had come out of Xiruo''s mouth, he didn''t believe a single word of anyone else who had slandered her!


    "Naturally, you cannot believe the words of others. You should believe your own eyes and your own heart." Su Xiruo did not directly answer his question.


    Helian Yunqian suddenly held her small hand: "Then I''ll tell you, I believe that the reason why you came close to me was not to take my Beast Core. I believe that you won''t do anything to harm me."


    "But, I''ve already hurt you once. Even so, do you still trust me?" Su Xiruo interrupted him, her tone becoming much more serious.


    "That''s right!" His answer was very decisive, without the slightest hesitation.


    When he said that, Su Xiruo began to panic: "I think you''re crazy, you''re a masochist!"


    "Xiruo, sometimes I don''t understand why you always wrap yourself up, tightly, and don''t let anyone near." "Every time I want to get close to your heart, you will take out a sharp blade, but I know that it is not that you want to kill me, but it is just a way to protect yourself. But now, I want to tell you that I can accept everything about you. I am willing to bear everything with you, as long as ¡­ You believe in me too. "


    Su Xiruo slightly lowered his head. It seemed as if he didn''t care, but every single word he said was heard to the depths of his heart.


    The sensation that she had not felt in a long time surged through her heart. She felt that she was about to lose control of her emotions.


    Her mother had died too early. In these years, she had long since gotten used to living alone. She had long since given up on any hope and felt that if she became stronger, she could live a good life by herself.


    But now, someone suddenly broke into her world, willing to shield her from wind and rain, willing to face everything for her, even going against ethics. She was naturally surprised and happy, as if her own heart had suddenly been opened by someone.


    "I just... It''s just a joke. " Su Xiruo stammered as he explained to himself, "But you have to believe that I really didn''t approach you to take your Beast Core. This kind of thought never existed in my mind, you ¡­"


    "Alright, stop talking, I know." Seeing her at a loss for words, Helian Yunqian spoke gently and interrupted her, "This matter shall end here. Why don''t we talk about what happened last time?"


    "Did something happen last time?" Su Xiruo started to pretend to be stupid, but he roughly understood what Yue Yang meant and was just waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.


    He knew that this girl was playing dumb, so he decided to ask her about it. "I wonder about what happened last time. Have you considered it?"


    He thought to himself, I''ve already asked her this clearly. If she continues to pretend to be stupid, it would be terrible!


    In the end, he was still unable to escape this question. Su Xiruo bit his lower lip: "Come over here a bit, I''ll give you an answer."


    Helian Yunqian leaned a little closer, and that peerlessly exquisite side profile was inches away from her.


    Su Xiruo laughed, happily kept his voice low, and whispered into his ear, "My answer is yes."


    It was a few light words, but it was filled with determination.


    In the next second, Helian Yunqian wrapped his arms around her slim waist, and his icy lips smoothly covered her cherry lips. A warm feeling flowed down the tip of his tongue, into the bottom of his heart, and spread out.


    At the side, Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi who were completely drunk, slowly opened their eyes. They could vaguely see the two people hugging each other, but they didn''t know if it was a dream or real. In short, they clapped their hands with all their might, feeling extremely happy.


    The moonlight was exceptionally beautiful, cold and exquisite, gently sprinkling onto Su Xiruo''s face. At this moment, he was only willing to be immersed in this moment of loss, unable to be saved!


    In the morning, Su Xiruo opened his eyes. The breeze was not dry, as he lightly patted his head, still feeling pain.


    Just like that, he openly slept on Helian Yunqian''s bed! This was something she didn''t even dare to think about before.


    He turned his head and snuck a glance at the sleeping man beside him. He could not help but chuckle. Just as he was about to get up carefully, he was pulled back by a big hand. In the next second, he was pulled into a hot embrace.


    "Yun Qian." His exclamation was still clearly heard, as it stuck to his white and smooth chest. His powerful heartbeat could still be heard.


    Su Xiruo''s slender finger bones lightly streaked across, and saw that the wound on his chest had completely healed. Only a faint scar remained, and she indifferently said: "It''s time for me to wake up and head out."


    Even though he drank a bit too much last night, he still made a decision to knock his head off.


    However, today was the day to report to the academy. As a new student, if he were to be late on the first day, it would leave a bad impression on everyone.


    Helian Yunqian looked at the little girl who was still in a daze, and said: "Wait, I''ll get someone to send you a bowl of hangover soup."


    "Wait a moment." Su Xiruo held onto his arm tightly and stuttered, "I''ll be reporting to the Mercenary Academy later. If I go now, I might not be coming back to the capital for a long time, do you have anything to say to me before I go?"


    Helian Yunqian was startled for a moment, then indifferently spat out a few words: "Be careful on the road, be careful."


    These eight words almost caused Su Xiruo to be angered to the point of internal injuries: "Aren''t you worried that I would be taken away when I met a man with an excellent talent and appearance in the academy?"


    This guy was truly calm. If he went now, he might not be able to see her for a year or so, but he actually didn''t have the slightest intention of letting go!


    "What are you worried about?" Helian Yunqian laughed out loud, his long fingerbone gently helping her tidy her hair, "I want to go with you guys."


    "You want to go as well?" Upon hearing that he was going with them, Su Xiruo was a little surprised, "Why?"


    His answer was nonchalant: "Go and take a look at my wife''s brilliant performance during the entrance examination."


    "By the way." His words changed as his gaze landed on Su Xiruo, "Let''s see what kind of man with good talent would seduce my wife, and dig out their eyes one by one."


    The tone was casual, but it sounded like it was tinged with a little bit of arrogance and jealousy.


    Su Xiruo secretly rolled his eyes, and chided: "If that''s the case, then wouldn''t I become the academy''s villain?"


    "That''s good as well. Then you can stay by my side." Helian Yunqian said half-jokingly.


    "Right." Su Xiruo no longer joked with him, and returned to the main topic at hand, "What is that entrance examination that you mentioned just now, does everyone need to participate in it?"


    "Only new students of Divine Ranked Class will need to pass the trial."


    "You still need to pass the trial?" Hearing that, Su Xiruo was a little dumbfounded, "It''s already at the Heavenly Spirit Master level, do I still need to continue with the trial?"


    No wonder everyone said that people who were able to enter the Divine Ranked Class were outstanding people in every corner of the continent. After all, this kind of request was close to being abnormal!


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian nodded his head, and then explained, "However, people of Heavenly Spirit Master and above are not necessarily safe. Unless, at the same time, you are also a doctor or a Refiner with a cultivation level above the elementary level, otherwise, you will have to accept any challenge from all the students of the elementary level, if you lose to them, you will have to enter the Heavenly Ranked Class, and the students who win can also successfully advance to the Divine Ranked Class."


    "A student of the Heavenly Ranked Class would at most have the strength of a nine star Spirit Master. If I want to defeat the Heavenly Spirit Master, I''m afraid there will be some difficulty!" Su Xiruo felt that the probability of this happening was rather small, unless she had Divine Instrument in her possession or had used some sort of medicine.


    Otherwise, few people would be able to win in a battle to the next level for no reason at all!

 C64

    "Mn, since you''re a five star Heavenly Spirit Master, this naturally won''t be a threat to you." Helian Yunqian was not the least bit worried about Su Xiruo''s strength, but at this time, he seemed to have thought of something, changed the subject, and warned, "However, you must remember, your identity as a Poison Master, cannot be revealed!"


    "I know." Su Xiruo understood this in his heart.


    If it was any ordinary unspecialized character like the Poison Master, it would be alright. But if they really had to investigate thoroughly and found out that it was someone from the Poison Sect, then they would probably be expelled from the academy.


    Suddenly, a light knocking sound came from the door: "Ruo Ruo, it''s not early anymore. If we don''t leave now, we might be late!"


    Thus, Su Xiruo quickly changed into a new set of clothes. Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi waited outside the hall, watching the two coming out of the room blushing, and could not help but sigh.


    "Oh, Xiruo, you can''t be so engrossed with beauty and forget about such an important day, right?" Mu Lingxi laughed and teased, "Look at the time, if we go over now, we might really be late!"


    "A Xi, it would be quite difficult for my brother and Ruo Ruo to have such a life. I wonder how long it will take for us to meet again after this farewell, please understand." Ye Zhuozhuo immediately came out to smooth things over, "What''s more, with my brother here, how could we be late? Isn''t that right, brother?"


    With that, Ye Zhuozhuo gave Helian Yunqian a pitiful look, as if she wanted his help.


    Helian Yunqian was not anxious at all: "I really don''t have any ways, but, Xi Ruo should have a way."


    Ye Zhuozhuo''s and Mu Lingxi''s gaze fell on Su Xiruo''s body, and she was immediately confused: "What can I do?"


    This guy, did he have to joke around like that!


    Helian Yunqian did not comment and just smiled. With a light wave of the Spiritual Strength, he forced the Chinese Kite out of Su Xiruo''s sleeve.


    Mu Jin revealed his Real Body and immediately waved his hand, begging for mercy: "Please spare me, I can''t!"


    He could see through Helian Yunqian''s intentions, and wanted to use him as a flying spirit beast to bring them to the Mercenary Academy.


    "This... Where did this flying spirit beast come from? " Mu Lingxi was shocked.


    And, since this spirit creature could take human form, its level must be quite high.


    "Chinese Kite, if you don''t bring it, your master will be late as well." Helian Yunqian intentionally threatened.


    "Then... "Then I will only take master with me." Mu Jin snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to him.


    If that was the case, it would mean that he could bring people along, but he was unwilling to, after all, as a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, he had to at least respect his own reputation!


    Seeing that, Su Xiruo took the initiative to say something good to Mu Jin: "Mu Jin, the situation today is rather special, bring us along, be obedient, I''ll buy you good food!"


    After saying some good words, Mu Jin would probably still soften his heart!


    Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, since Master had already spoken, Mu Jin naturally had no reason to refute, and could only reluctantly agree to it. "Alright then, let''s do it this time, let''s do it once, there won''t be a next time!"


    "Alright, let''s do it once." Su Xiruo agreed immediately, but felt that something wasn''t right, "But, you are so small, how are you going to take the four of us?"


    Thinking about it this way, it was indeed a little difficult.


    "Mistress, don''t underestimate me." Being looked down upon by his master, Mu Jin didn''t feel good. His body turned into a blur as he flew out of the window, and the moment he flew out, he turned into a three-meter-long golden kite. After circling in the air, he landed on the ground.


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi stared with their eyes wide open. This was probably the first time they had seen the elegance of a flying spirit beast flying through the Sixth Rank!


    "Hurry up and come up!" Seeing that they did not understand what was going on, Mu Jin impatiently warned them.


    Thus, the four of them went out and rode on the golden kite. Mu Jin didn''t forget to remind them, "Master, sit still!"


    As his words fell, the golden kite shot into the sky, traveling a thousand miles in an instant. One could see with the naked eye that the General''S Estate, as well as the entire capital, were becoming smaller and smaller in their eyes.


    Mercenary Academy were situated at the border between Great Gan Empire and Dragon Seal Empire, which were located at a rather high region, causing one to feel a little cold, but this Mercenary Academy was not cold at all, it was completely filled with the spirit energy of the Yuxiu Peak.


    Jin Yuan circled around the entire academy. Looking down from above, he could clearly feel the majestic Mercenary Academy.


    Ye Zhuozhuo looked at the scenery below him and was elated. "I never thought that the Mercenary Academy would be so spectacular.


    "However, this academy isn''t as reserved as the imperial palace." Compared to the palace, Mu Lingxi still liked the overall environment of the academy more.


    Suddenly, they saw the black mass of heads on the side of the Academy. It was extremely lively, and Jin Yuan found a place with no one around to land, instantly turning into a small bird and sneaking into Su Xiruo''s sleeves.


    In front of them was the academy''s entrance. Mu Lingxi was leading the way at the very front, and they could see a few guards guarding the entrance of the academy.


    Su Xiruo observed that all of the academies were holding keepsakes, which was why they were placed in there. Only then did he realize that he did not have any keepsakes in his hands.


    When he had left that day, Yun Qian had only told him that he did not receive any keepsake from the academy a week later.


    Just as Su Xiruo was about to say something, the four of them had already reached the door. When the guards saw Helian Yunqian, they all kneeled down and bowed respectfully, "Master Helian!"


    The lead guard was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.


    Although they only knew that Master Helian was one of the higher ups of the academy, he very rarely stepped forward and very rarely participated in matters of the academy.


    But even so, the moment he appeared, he would have absolute authority within the academy, and even the dean would have to treat him as a VIP.


    Therefore, even though they felt that the Master Helian did not have any actual power, they still should not be offended.


    The guards made way for him, causing Su Xiruo to become even more curious as to who exactly was Helian Yunqian in the academy.


    "Master Helian, please wait a moment. This subordinate will report it to the Principal right away." The leader of the guards slowly raised his head, thinking to report to the dean.


    "No need." Helian Yunqian faintly spoke out in refusal, "Bring these three students to the Trial."


    Then, he urged Su Xiruo, "You guys go to the Trial first, I still have some matters to attend to so I''ll be coming over shortly."


    Su Xiruo did not ask him what exactly happened, and nodded slightly: "Be careful."


    "Alright." Helian Yunqian reached out and gently caressed Su Xiruo''s soft hair.


    When the guards standing at the side saw this scene, they immediately lowered their heads and pretended that they did not see anything. After all, in their memories, Master Helian never smiled.


    Looks like these three people are familiar with the Master Helian, they shouldn''t be offended!


    The guard sized up the three people by Helian Yunqian''s side. He only recognized Mu Lingxi, a top student with primary Divine Ranked Class.


    Thus, the three of them followed the guards and arrived at the training ground. It was densely packed with people.


    "Young Master Mu." The guard respectfully said to Mu Lingxi, "Over there will be the students of the Elementary Divine Ranked Class. The new and old students are all there, and over there will be the seats for students of the Elementary Divine Ranked Class and below. The three of you take your seats!"


    At first glance, the place where the Divine Ranked Class was located, was no different from the location where the Heavenly Ranked was located, and besides the location, there was no other difference at all.


    It looks like every single academy within this Mercenary Academy will be acknowledged and respected by the academy.


    Mu Lingxi sent Ye Zhuozhuo to the seat of the Profound Rank class, and then, together with Su Xiruo, they returned to the position of the Divine Ranked Class class.


    "Hai." Ye Zhuozhuo looked at the two people in front of her, secretly deciding in her heart that she must work hard to enter the Divine Ranked Class as soon as possible, so that she can stand beside A Xi.

 C65

    Su Xiruo secretly looked at the students around him. In the entire Divine Ranked Class, there were a total of twenty new and older students, and of course, they were only from the Elementary class.


    And the location of the Senior Class was obviously not with them, so they basically did not know their location.


    "Your Highness, how many seniors are still on this primary Divine Ranked Class stage?" Su Xiruo was suddenly curious about this question.


    "There are four seniors and sixteen new students." Mu Lingxi was still quite clear about the stats, "Sigh, originally the academy planned to accept eighteen new students, but in the end, there were only sixteen students above Heavenly Spirit Master. It seems that the overall strength of this year''s new students is not that great!"


    Mu Lingxi whispered to her in a low voice. After all, the people sitting beside them were all students of the Divine Ranked Class.


    Suddenly, the guards and students nearby opened up a path for them. The former was gentle, the latter was fierce, and their entire bodies emitted an icy cold aura.


    That violent woman was Gu Wanyun. Su Xiruo recognized her with a single glance, he had only purposely shifted his gaze away, pretending that he did not see her.


    The two girls found the most eye-catching spot to sit down and then sat down. Gu Wanyun happened to be sitting right in front of Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo did not say anything. Instead, Mu Lingxi could no longer bear to watch any further. He directly asked: "Gu Wanyun, what kind of eyes are those?"


    This woman, his own strength in Divine Ranked Class, was only so-so. Relying on his powerful older sister, he was able to run rampant in Mercenary Academy, he had long since not been able to watch any longer!


    "Heh, Lingxi, I advise you not to mingle with this sort of woman." Towards Mu Lingxi, Gu Wanyun was still relatively polite, but after that he continued to mock and ridicule Su Xiruo, "Su Xiruo, I really admire you, the moment you entered the academy, you hooked up with our Divine Ranked Class''s seniors, what methods did you use?"


    "You!" Mu Lingxi could not bear hearing her words, he wanted to stand up and take action, but was stopped by Su Xiruo.


    "Ling Xi, ignore that mad dog." Not only was Su Xiruo not angry, a faint smile and ridicule hung on the corner of his mouth.


    "Who are you calling a mad dog?" Gu Wanyun was instantly displeased, "You are so arrogant right after coming to the Academy. Su Xiruo, you will pay the price for every word you say."


    Su Xiruo did not comment as he smiled: "This Mercenary Academy is not a competition of words. Miss Gu, you should think of ways to increase your own strength first, if it''s like this, your strength will not be crushed by the new students, how awkward is it?"


    Gu Wanyun''s face immediately flushed red, she was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but in the next second, the lady beside her stopped her: "Enough, Wanyun."


    "Sister, why aren''t you helping me speak up?" Gu Wanyun curled his lips, feeling even more unhappy.


    "Don''t say anymore, what I said wasn''t wrong. This Mercenary Academy, depends on strength to speak." The girl glanced at Su Xiruo coldly, her gaze clearly filled with hostility.


    Although she looked calm, Su Xiruo could feel that this woman was someone even more difficult to deal with than Gu Wanyun!


    "Xiruo." Mu Lingxi lowered his voice and explained in a low voice beside Su Xiruo''s ear, "These two sisters are both old students of Mercenary Academy. Sister is called Gu Jingrou, and sister is called Gu Wanyun, she comes from a noble clan of the Profound Yin Empire.


    These four words'' Profound Yin Empire '', in Su Xiruo''s heart, left a relatively shallow impression.


    This was because this empire was extremely mysterious. It was so mysterious to the point that the other empires simply did not know of its true strength, yet they did not dare to offend it.


    Therefore, everyone guessed that this Profound Yin Empire, as a whole, was very strong, and just did not reveal it from beginning to end.


    "Alright, I understand." Although Su Xiruo replied on the surface, he was still a little unwilling in his heart.


    She wouldn''t take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone came to provoke her, then don''t blame her!


    On the side of the Profound Rank Class, Ye Zhuozhuo was seated, bored out of her mind. Just as she was about to raise her head, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.


    "Brilliant little sister, you just arrived too, right? What a coincidence." Su Biyue warmly greeted her.


    Although Ye Zhuozhuo didn''t like Su Biyue, at least, they finally met someone they knew. Their hearts were naturally comforted a little: "What, you''re also from the Profound Rank class?"


    "No, I''m from Heavenly Ranked Class next door. Seeing you here, I specially came over to greet you." Su Biyue had a nagging feeling that Ye Zhuozhuo was ridiculing her for being weak when he said these words.


    Heh, just you wait. In a while, the trial will begin, and I will soon enter the Divine Ranked Class!


    Hearing that, Ye Zhuozhuo''s heart was shaken.


    Even Su Biyue could actually enter the Heavenly Ranked Class, and if it wasn''t for his exceptional medical skills, he probably wouldn''t even have been able to enter the Profound Rank class. Just thinking about it made him feel like it was a huge blow to his life!


    In the past, when A Xi and his brother were always by his side, he didn''t have to worry about anything and just neglected to cultivate. But now, it was time for him to really work hard and cultivate.


    After greeting her, Su Biyue did not immediately return to his seat. Instead, he left the bustling crowd and met with Zhang Bingde, who was looking for her.


    "Have you found out what I want you to do for me?" Su Biyue faced Zhang Bingde, his tone becoming incomparably cold.


    "Yes." Zhang Bingde nodded with incomparable sincerity, "Bi Yue, I risked my life to learn a little information from Master Liu Sheng."


    Su Biyue frowned slightly, she did not want to know how difficult it was and impatiently said: "Quickly speak! My time is limited, I don''t have time to waste here with you! "


    Furthermore, there were a lot of people coming and going, if people were to notice how close she was with Zhang Bingde, they would definitely be suspicious.


    "Alright." Zhang Bingde lowered his voice, and then said carefully, "I will go investigate. This time, the student with the lowest strength in the primary Divine Ranked Class is called Wu Meng, she came from the Great Gan Empire, and only recently became a one star Heavenly Spirit Master last month. Her strength is also not very stable, Bi Yue, as long as you eat the spirit medicine I gave you, defeating her will not be a problem!"


    Although Heavenly Ranked Class had the qualifications to challenge Divine Ranked Class students, so as to obtain the opportunity to enter the Divine Ranked Class, Heavenly Ranked Class students, however, did not know the strength of their students, especially that of their new students!


    Thus, if he were to choose someone with a high level, he could only suffer the loss secretly. There was no other way!


    The reason Su Biyue asked Zhang Bingde to investigate this matter was also to pave the way for himself so that he could smoothly enter the Divine Ranked Class.


    "Which one is it? Show me." Su Biyue sneaked a glance at the direction of Divine Ranked Class and asked.


    Zhang Bingde took a closer look and answered honestly, "The fourth person in the last row is Wu Meng."


    Su Biyue carefully memorized Wu Meng''s face and immediately felt as if a huge boulder had dropped from the bottom of his heart. He was completely at ease.


    After he finished speaking, without even saying a word of thanks, he turned around and prepared to leave.


    "Bi Yue, wait." Zhang Bingde seemed to have something he wanted to tell her, so he stopped her.


    Su Biyue stopped and said impatiently: "What now?"


    "I''ve been looking forward to see you for many days. Today, I finally met you, so why don''t you say a few words to me?" Zhang Bingde carefully raised his request.


    Su Biyue frowned slightly, she did not want to say another word to him, "The Trial is about to begin soon, for others to see me and a guard pulling each other''s leg, what kind of logic is that?"


    Actually, she felt that negotiating with a guard was a bit too much.


    "I ¡­"


    "Enough, stop talking!" Su Biyue interrupted him and said coldly, "I''ll be taking a seat first. If you have anything to say, you can tell me later."


    With that, she turned and left without looking back. Zhang Bingde looked at her back and sighed helplessly, feeling a little disappointed.

 C66

    After waiting for about an hour, almost all the people had arrived. A middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a black brocade robe, appeared on the stage. Every move he made exuded a mysterious and unique aura.


    "This is the teacher for the early stage Divine Ranked Class. Liang Si, he''s already a five star Spirit Monarch!" Mu Lingxi quietly explained to Su Xiruo.


    A five star Spirit Monarch!


    Su Xiruo looked at the man on stage with astonishment and could not help but sigh.


    It was no wonder that all the older students showed respectful expressions. A teacher of this elementary Divine Ranked Class was actually a five star Spirit Monarch. It could be imagined just how strong the teachers of the Senior Class were, or just how powerful the overall strength of the Mercenary Academy was!


    "Everyone." "This lowly one is Liang Si from the Divine Ranked Class. Today, I will preside over this Divine Ranked Class Trial. Regarding this Trial, I believe you all have some understanding before, today, we will follow the proper procedures."


    After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to indicate the location of the primary Divine Ranked Class. "Over here is this year''s all the students of the primary Divine Ranked Class."


    Before he finished speaking, all the students of the primary Divine Ranked Class stood up one after another to express their respect.


    "Right now, the new and older students of Heavenly Ranked Class are free to issue challenges to the students of Divine Ranked Class. If they win, they are also allowed to enter the Divine Ranked Class!" After Liang Si finished speaking, he did not forget to remind her, "However, remember, this year''s Trial, stop at where you need to go!"


    These words seemed to have aroused the confidence of the students of Heavenly Ranked Class. Many of the students were eager to give it a try, as if they wanted to show off their skills.


    A student of Heavenly Ranked Class immediately came up to the stage, looking extremely confident: "This one is Yang Xu, I am asking the seniors of Divine Ranked Class for guidance!"


    "Choose someone you want to challenge!"


    Yang Xu swept a glance at the twenty odd people with Divine Ranked Class. In the end, he lightly tapped with his finger and pointed at the weakest looking Gu Jingrou: "Senior, please!"


    Instantly, the audience burst into laughter. Most of the people that mocked him were old students.


    "This person is really overestimating himself, challenging Senior Sister Gu Jingrou from the very beginning!"


    "That''s right, he must have died a terrible death!"


    "He really doesn''t know his limits ¡­"


    Listening to their discussion, Su Xiruo slightly frowned, and watched as Gu Jingrou slowly walked up with an indifferent temperament, there was not the slightest trace of fear between his brows: "Then I''ll be offending you!"


    Yang Xu did not care about the mockery below the stage, he boasted that he still possessed talent and strength, and quietly muttered: "What''s so great about it, isn''t it just Divine Ranked Class?"


    Then, he used a teasing tone to speak to Gu Jingrou: "Miss, I will make a lighter move, no need to thank me!"


    With that, he swung his big blade, bringing the powerful Spiritual Strength and slashed at Gu Jingrou''s face.


    Gu Jingrou did not care about this provocation, easily dodging Yang Xu''s menacing attack, he raised his hand and grabbed his blade, and in the next second, threw his weapon along with his other people.


    The weapons were all broken into pieces, and Yang Xu was sent flying without any suspense. He coughed out a mouthful of blood, and from the looks of it, Gu Jingrou did not take much effort.


    "Heh, I''ve already said it earlier, he''s overestimating himself!"


    Mu Lingxi helplessly shook his head: "These new students, just one or two of them think that they are very strong. In front of their Divine Ranked Class, they are basically not even worth a single blow!"


    Especially since he''s one of the top few in elementary Divine Ranked Class, Gu Jingrou!


    "Sorry." Gu Jingrou chuckled lightly and turned to return to his seat. This was already the best blow to Yang Xu.


    "Big sister, well done, you''re really awesome!" Gu Wanyun who was at the side, could not help but praise loudly, as if his own face had also gained light.


    "He''s just a six star Spirit Master, what''s there to be proud of?" However, Gu Jingrou did not take it to heart.


    Yang Xu was just a six star Spirit Master, such an opponent was nothing to her, she did not even need to care about him, even if she won, it would not be something worthy of honor.


    Although it was only a short exchange of blows, Su Xiruo could still feel that Gu Jingrou was very strong, and the speed and strength of his attacks were clearly much stronger than hers.


    Following that, there were also many newly born students from Heavenly Ranked Class who were not afraid of tigers and calves, but there were not many exceptions. Most of them were beaten into a pulp by the students from the Divine Ranked Class.


    After all, they all possessed strength below the Heavenly Spirit Master. It would indeed be very difficult for them to surpass the Heavenly Spirit Master.


    Otherwise, the Divine Ranked Class s that had reached the threshold would not only have just a few dozen new students, but also Heavenly Ranked Class s, to the point where there were more than a hundred people.


    Just as everyone was about to fall asleep, Su Biyue quietly flew up the stage and landed on the ground.


    "Su Biyue, why is she here to watch the show as well?" Mu Lingxi could not help but snort, "Ah, although she is a nine star Spirit Master, if she wants to win against Heavenly Spirit Master, she still needs a certain amount of conditions!"


    Su Xiruo stared intently at Su Biyue''s every move, as he felt that Su Biyue had come prepared!


    "I am Su Biyue of the Dragon Seal Empire, and would like to seek guidance from this senior." Su Biyue was very polite, he raised his hand to signal Wu Meng, who was sitting at the back.


    After all, she had just reached the Heavenly Spirit Master, so it would be hard for her to win if she met a powerful nine star Spirit Master.


    But after all, the other party had already called him out. If he didn''t go up, then it would be too embarrassing. Thus, Wu Meng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up on the stage.


    The corner of Su Biyue''s mouth lifted, revealing a confident smile, but on the surface he still looked rather humble: "Sorry for the offense!"


    After she finished speaking, she made a move with her purple moon fan. That light purple Spiritual Strength was thick yet stable.


    Facing against a Heavenly Spirit Master, although Su Biyue''s eyes were extremely serious, there wasn''t the slightest bit of fear.


    Wu Meng took out a long whip and quickly waved it, grabbing the purple moon fan in Su Biyue''s hands. With a light pull, Su Biyue''s Spiritual Artifact was caught off guard and thrown out.


    Immediately, Su Biyue was dumbstruck. So it turned out that the difference between the nine star Spirit Master s and one star Heavenly Spirit Master was actually this huge!


    However, all she needed to do was endure for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the medicinal effects of her body will begin to take effect.


    "I thought he was that strong, but he''s just a idiot!" After tasting the sweetness, Wu Meng started to feel proud of herself.


    No matter how hard he tried, he was still a true Heavenly Spirit Master. A small Spirit Master, no matter how hard he tried, would he be able to defeat him?


    Su Biyue didn''t speak and focused all his attention on the battle. He kept dodging, and wasn''t willing to face it head on.


    At this time, in a tower not far from the Trial stood two venerable elders. Looking through the window, they could clearly see the situation of the Trial, and they were full of praise.


    "After looking for such a long time, finally, a student of Heavenly Ranked Class is able to catch my eyes." An elder laughed and praised.


    "In my opinion, that Heavenly Ranked Class student can''t win. It''s just that he''s been dodging all this time." The other elder watched with rapt attention.


    "That''s not necessarily the case!"


    "Haha, then let''s make a bet. How about it?"


    Just as the two of them were enjoying their conversation, a guard suddenly came in from outside the door: "Elders, Master Helian is here!"


    "Ah?" Why is he here? "


    Upon hearing these words, the two elders'' expressions immediately changed. Their expressions became much more solemn.


    This Master Helian rarely came to the academy to visit, and never cared about such big matters like the academy. Was it the sun rising from the west today?


    "Hurry up and welcome him!" But, no matter what, since the Master Helian had come, they would have to welcome him well, and not dare to be negligent anymore.


    "Someone, quick!" "Hurry and call the principal over!" Great Elder Shen Ye was also very nervous. He quickly sent someone to call over the dean to greet him.


    "No need." At this moment, a slow and slightly magnetic male voice was heard.

 C67

    Helian Yunqian then took a few light steps and entered the room. The two elders lowered their bodies: "Master Helian, you have come for a visit, why didn''t you inform me in advance?


    Helian Yunqian did not bother to be courteous with them. He directly went forward and sat down on the seat at the front. Through the window, he could clearly see the situation of the Trial.


    After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "There''s no need to trouble yourself. This time around, I''ve come for the Trial."


    "Master Helian, didn''t you always not care about the matters of the academy?" Second Elder Chu Yu was obviously surprised.


    "En, I suddenly remembered and came over to take care of him." Helian Yunqian''s answer sounded rather casual at first glance.


    Great Elder Shen Ye heard him and did not dare to discuss further. "So that''s how it is. The Trial has just started, so Master Helian can watch it with us! "


    "I have already looked through this year''s Divine Ranked Class list." Helian Yunqian replied indifferently.


    Second Elder Chu Yu immediately laughed at himself: "Although there are fewer new students in Divine Ranked Class this year, they are all elites, so their overall strength is still pretty good!"


    "Oh, really?" Helian Yunqian could not help but smile, but at the Trial, Wu Meng was about to lose to Su Biyue.


    That was a Heavenly Spirit Master after all!


    The two elders looked carefully, just a moment ago, it was Su Biyue who was at a disadvantage, but now, the situation had completely reversed.


    In the end, Wu Meng was defeated by her Violet Moon Fan. Below the stage, there was a wave of sighs.


    "This girl actually defeated a student of Divine Ranked Class!"


    "It''s really amazing, you have really given us face with Heavenly Ranked Class!"


    Hearing the endless praises from below the stage, Su Biyue was extremely happy, but on the surface he still maintained a humble appearance, and said to Wu Meng: "Sorry!"


    With that, she went to help Wu Meng, who had been defeated on the ground, up with a look of worry. At this moment, Wu Meng felt that she had lost all her face, and threw off Su Biyue''s arm.


    If he lost to Su Biyue in Heavenly Ranked Class, it would also mean that he would have to be demoted to Heavenly Ranked Class, and Su Biyue would naturally become a student of Divine Ranked Class!


    It was infuriating just thinking about it!


    Liang Si walked up and handed over a white jade pendant to Su Biyue, which was also the exclusive keepsake for Divine Ranked Class. "Su Biyue, congratulations.


    When Su Biyue received the white jade, his fingerbone trembled slightly. "Thank you, Master Liang Si."


    Finally, she had achieved what she wanted. However, all of this was just the beginning. She wanted to prove to everyone that she had relied on her own strength to come all the way here!


    Below the stage, Zhang Bingde was also hiding in a corner, feeling happy for Su Biyue.


    "I never thought that this Su Biyue had such skills." Mu Lingxi could not help but mutter under his breath.


    Su Xiruo sat beside him, but using his naked eyes, he discovered that something was wrong.


    This Su Biyue, who was just at a disadvantage for a moment, had already started to reverse the situation. This kind of reversal was abnormal, as if he had used medicine!


    However, she did not say that out loud. After all, what Su Biyue did had nothing to do with her.


    "This Heavenly Ranked Class, there are many students who are willing to work hard!" On the tower, the Second Elder Chu Yu praised him endlessly, as he had a pretty good impression of Su Biyue.


    "Right." Just then, Helian Yunqian suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that not long ago, Master Shangguan of the Elementary Divine Ranked Class went out for a stroll, so he left his position as a teacher for the time being."


    Shen Ye truthfully replied: "That''s right. Currently, there are only two Masters in the Elementary Divine Ranked Class and the Principal is also distressed. If there''s really no other way, then we should transfer one over from the Heavenly Ranked Class."


    "I am truly ashamed to have to worry about such a small matter, Master Helian." Chu Yu felt rather embarrassed in his heart.


    "You''re welcome." In Helian Yunqian''s heart, it seemed that he had already thought of a plan, "Elders, how about I go?"


    "Huh?" The two elders were almost scared by his words.


    "Master Helian, stop joking with us!"


    You have to know, even though the Master Helian is one of the higher ups of the academy, he has always been a shopkeeper who never cared about the affairs of the academy.


    With Master Helian''s strength, even if he were to teach high-level Divine Ranked Class, it would not be too excessive.


    "I''m serious," Helian Yunqian didn''t have the spare time to joke with them, "Since my primary Divine Ranked Class is lacking people, I''ll go up."


    Chu Yu laughed, and quickly suggested: "Master Helian, however, with your identity, if you were to become a teacher, it would be ¡­."


    This was a bit too much!


    However, this way, Chu Yu naturally did not dare to say it directly. He only could not figure out what Helian Yunqian was thinking in his heart.


    He had been a carefree person all along, so how did he suddenly think of this? To have him become a teacher with such an esteemed status, the two elders felt extremely apologetic in their hearts.


    Seeing the two being so slow, Helian Yunqian slightly frowned, and became a little impatient: "Just do as I say, where''s all this nonsense coming from?"


    These two old men were really stubborn. They could just follow his instructions and do as he said, right? With so much effort, what could they possibly accomplish?


    "Yes, yes!" The two elders were afraid of offending this ancestor and immediately answered, not daring to ask another question, "Master Helian, I will go arrange it now, please stay here for a while!"


    "No need. I''ll go to the Trial and take a look." Helian Yunqian probably wanted to take a look at the Trial from a close distance so he was in a hurry to leave.


    This time, the two elders did not stop them.


    Although Master Helian was a high ranked student of the academy, because he had appeared too rarely, there were not many people who knew him. Thus, even if he showed himself at the Trial, it would not attract too much attention.


    "Master Helian, please take care!"


    After Helian Yunqian left, the two elders looked at each other.


    "What is Master Helian up to?" Shen Ye was confused, "Isn''t this nonsense?"


    Chu Yu sighed lightly. "Sigh, forget it, let him be. Perhaps, this Master Helian feels that ¡­ "Is it fun?"


    After all, with Helian Yunqian''s character, it wasn''t impossible to do such a thing.


    Su Biyue''s victory, in an instant, pushed the entire competition higher and higher. But even so, the following few Heavenly Ranked Class students still lost in the hands of the Divine Ranked Class students.


    After all, he could not wrench his arm around his thigh. The disparity between Heavenly Ranked Class and ours was so great that to challenge someone a level higher, aside from having solid strength, would still need a bit of luck.


    "It looks like, other than Su Biyue, no one else has such good luck." Mu Lingxi shook his head, he had already known about these Heavenly Ranked Class students from a long time ago.


    At this time, Liang Si''s followers started to explain the next stage for everyone: "Today''s Trial''s final stage, new students will challenge the older students, the older students will have to accept the challenge, the older students can also accept the challenge, but the new students have the right to choose, they can choose to accept the challenge, or they can choose not to accept the challenge!"


    After saying this, the audience broke into a flurry of discussion. They probably felt that even though the rules sounded biased towards the new students, the initiative was still in the hands of the older students.


    After all, if he was selected to challenge him, it would be difficult for him to refuse. If he refused, people would look down on him!


    Gu Wanyun who was seated in the Divine Ranked Class position seemed to be waiting for this moment, and the moment he finished speaking, he jumped up the stage.


    "Senior Sister Wanyun is going to be the first one up!"


    "I wonder which unlucky person will be chosen by Senior Sister Wanyun!"


    Currently, Gu Wanyun was indeed a five star Heavenly Spirit Master with a high level Spiritual Artifact. His innate conditions were not bad, as he was able to instantly kill most of the new students.


    She looked down the stage arrogantly, pointing towards the direction of Su Xiruo and coldly said: "Su Xiruo, do you dare to accept my challenge?"

 C68

    "This woman has no end!" Mu Lingxi, who was sitting beside her, seemed to be unable to continue watching, "Xiruo, ignore this mad dog!"


    After all, this Senior Sister Wanyun was famous for her bad temper and her strength was not low. She should be more than enough to deal with a new student.


    Looking at Su Xiruo, her petite and weak appearance, one look at her showed that her strength was lacking, how could she be a match for Senior Sister Wanyun?


    Even if they were both in the Divine Ranked Class, Senior Sister Wanyun''s strength would still surpass most people''s!


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, without any hesitation, he stood up and tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, flying to the opposite of Gu Wanyun, standing opposite of her in the air.


    Since this woman wanted to have a duel with him so badly, he would satisfy her and let her know that he was not some weakling!


    "Senior Sister, please." Su Xiruo said slowly, his heart fully prepared.


    "Heh, you better think it through. If you lose in front of everyone, you will lose your own people!" Gu Wanyun mocked and ridiculed, he was more or less certain that this woman was not his match.


    That day, she was too careless and didn''t properly teach Su Xiruo a lesson. Today, she was going to make Su Xiruo lose all face in front of everyone!


    "Senior Sister, please make your move." The meaning behind Su Xiruo''s words was, you talk too much nonsense.


    Gu Wanyun snorted, he unsheathed his blade, the sharp blade flickering, the cold light was enough to kill.


    A high level Spiritual Artifact!


    Su Xiruo slightly frowned, and could roughly feel the approximate level of Spiritual Artifact.


    His and Gu Wanyun''s strength should be on par with each other, but her Spiritual Artifact s were at the high level of Profound Rank, and he himself was only at the early stage of Profound Rank.


    After all, if two Spirit Master s of the same level were to fight, other than their battle skills and level of strength, the only thing that could pull the difference was the Spiritual Artifact!


    But, Su Xiruo did not panic. The Can Meng took action, and clashing with Gu Wanyun''s blade, its face did not change at all.


    "Hur hur." Seeing Su Xiruo''s Spiritual Artifact take action, Gu Wanyun could not help but taunt, "Low level Profound Rank Spiritual Artifact, Su Xiruo, this kind of lousy Spiritual Artifact, do you dare to take it to compete with me?"


    His own Spiritual Artifact was two whole levels higher than hers, so Gu Wanyun was even more proud of himself, feeling that his victory was already in his grasp.


    However, this time, she would not be careless. She had to wholeheartedly deal with this woman and let her understand her defeat!


    "This humble one''s status is low, I am unable to obtain High Ranked Spiritual Artifact, I can only make do with it." Su Xiruo looked like he did not know what the Spiritual Artifact s could influence.


    "You ignorant fellow!" Gu Wanyun did not waste time talking with her. Bringing his powerful Spiritual Strength blade with him, he rushed forward with an attack that was full of might.


    Su Xiruo immediately retreated backwards, the Can Meng blocked the incoming blade attack, it was obvious that the Spiritual Strength was insufficient, it was forced back a bit, following that, Gu Wanyun did not even give her the chance to catch her breath, he forcefully attacked and every move was perfectly aligned.


    As for Su Xiruo, at this time, he did not face the challenge head on. Instead, he was defending.


    Watching from the sidelines, Ye Zhuozhuo was crazily sweating in his heart. This Gu Wanyun''s attack could not be released at all, if he could not find a suitable time to counterattack!


    "Su Xiruo, I advise you to surrender early, so as to avoid losing too badly!" After a dozen or so rounds, although Gu Wanyun seemed to have the advantage, he was unable to touch Su Xiruo at all. At the moment, he felt a little tired.


    Was this woman deliberately exhausting herself?


    Gu Wanyun felt more and more that his strength did not match his heart, so he increased the strength in his hands and forced Su Xiruo into a corner. The other hand condensed wind, and that terrifying Spiritual Strength shot out, striking Su Xiruo by surprise.


    This is? Intermediate Spiritual Skill!


    In a battle between Spirit Master of the same level, if one side was able to unleash their Spiritual Skill first, they would usually have the upper hand.


    Su Xiruo anxiously retreated, the dense white Spiritual Strength quickly condensed and formed a white light that welcomed Gu Wanyun''s Spiritual Skill, looking like it lacked strength.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    A loud noise was heard, and the entire stage shook for a moment. Su Xiruo and Gu Wanyun were both pushed back, looking like they were of equal strength.


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones were curled tightly, he raised his eyes slightly, and inadvertently looked at the audience, suddenly seeing that Yun Qian had rushed over, and was standing in a certain corner below the stage, looking right at her.


    The warm jade-like eyes seemed to give her a lot of encouragement.


    No, I can''t drag this on with Gu Wanyun anymore. If this continues, it would become unfavorable to me!


    Thus, the Spiritual Strength condensed in Su Xiruo''s palm, and like usual, it poured into the Can Meng. He stood up and gave it a backhand slap, the overbearing attack taking the initiative to attack Gu Wanyun face him.


    Gu Wanyun was not anxious, he extended his hand and grabbed onto Su Xiruo''s sudden palm, revealing a pleased smile: "Your little trick will not escape my eyes."


    Su Xiruo declined to comment, and suddenly raised his other hand without any warning. The Can Meng flashed past, causing Gu Wanyun to be stunned for a moment, and only then did he react, wanting to defend, but it was too late. The Can Meng pierced into her arm.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo took the opportunity to give chase and kicked Gu Wanyun in the chest, causing her to fly out and fall hard onto the ground with her face towards the ground, looking extremely ugly.


    For a moment, Gu Wanyun felt that not only was his Spiritual Strength being suppressed, it had even leaked out a bit.


    What kind of evil scheme did that girl Su Xiruo use?


    "Wanyun!" Seeing that his sister was injured, Gu Jingrou immediately jumped onto the stage, and helped her up, "Are you alright?


    "Big sister, that damned girl sucked my Spiritual Strength! You have to take it out for me! " Gu Wanyun''s finger bones tightened into a ball as he became extremely angry.


    Wanyun was sucked into her Spiritual Strength?!


    Gu Jingrou was shocked and angry at the same time. He glared at Su Xiruo coldly, as if he felt that he had caused the two sisters to lose face.


    The students below the stage seemed to not dare to believe their eyes. They probably thought that it was beyond their expectations that Senior Sister Wanyun had lost!


    "Where did this little miss come from? Even Senior Sister Wanyun is not her match!"


    "It''s said that he comes from the Dragon Seal Empire, so he doesn''t seem to have a particularly powerful background."


    Amidst the discussions below, Su Xiruo did not hear a word of what was said, and only opened his mouth: "Senior Sister Wanyun, I''m sorry."


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped by Gu Jingrou: "Su Xiruo, wait!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head, and saw the evil grin on Gu Jingrou''s face, and knew, that as his big sister, she was going to cause trouble for him!


    "What can I do for you, Senior?" But, Su Xiruo was still not afraid of her, his expression calm and composed.


    "My little sister is young and hot-tempered, her actions are impetuous. You have defeated her, yet you can''t say anything. Do you dare to accept my challenge?" Gu Jingrou''s tone sounded gentle, but it was overbearing.


    Even the audience felt that this was a bit too much.


    After all, Su Xiruo was just a new student. It would be impossible for her to defeat all the older students.


    Moreover, Su Xiruo had already exchanged blows with Gu Wanyun for a long time, and had consumed a lot of energy. At this time, even if Senior Sister Jing Rou won, she would probably claim that it would not be a victory for the martial artist!


    Thus, Senior Sister Jing Rou was probably truly angry. She was too impatient, and wanted to forcefully protect the face of the sisters.


    "Cough cough, Jing Rou, stop messing around!" At this time, even Liang Si could not bear to listen any longer, and reminded them, "Su Xiruo, all of you leave!"


    Therefore, Su Xiruo no longer bothered with Gu Jingrou''s provocation, and turned to leave.


    Gu Jingrou''s finger bones were tightly curled, if not for so many people watching, she would have definitely made her move, but at the end, her reason allowed her to restrain herself and help Gu Wanyun off the stage.


    However, she would remember this grudge. If she was given the chance one day, she would definitely teach this girl who did not know how high the sky and how deep the earth was!

 C69

    Su Xiruo returned to his original seat, and the moment Gu Wanyun and Gu Jingrou took their seats, he began to provoke them.


    "Su Xiruo, you got lucky today, and somehow managed to beat me. Next time, you won''t have that much luck!" Gu Wanyun gritted his teeth in hatred.


    "Heh." Mu Lingxi laughed and retorted, "So what if he lost, talking so much nonsense will make people look down on him, it is truly shameful!"


    Gu Wanyun was angered until his face flushed red: Mu Lingxi, why are you being so biased towards this new student, could it be that you have taken a fancy to her looks? Let me tell you this, this girl is water like a blooming flower, flirting all over the place, I advise you not to waste your time here! "


    "Who''s looks I like, what does it have to do with you?" "If that''s the case, Mu Lingxi wouldn''t listen to her," In short, I won''t fall for a shrew like you, who doesn''t have any skills herself, and even likes to bully the young by bullying the young, and embarrass all of us old students of Divine Ranked Class!


    "Mu Lingxi, you!"


    "What about me?" Mu Lingxi did not give her the slightest chance to refute, and continued, "I just can''t bear to see you bullying the new students, what''s wrong? If you are not convinced, you should continue to improve your own strength. Just based on your words alone, what is the use of it? "


    Gu Wanyun''s mouth was slightly agape, speechless from Mu Lingxi''s words.


    "Alright, Wanyun, since your strength is weak, there is nothing to say!" At this time, Gu Jingrou interrupted her words, probably thinking that this matter was too embarrassing.


    "Hmph." Since his elder sister had already spoken, Gu Wanyun could only snort coldly and bury all of his displeasure deep within his heart.


    Heh, since there will be a day that Big Sister will take revenge for him, she will definitely not let Su Xiruo have a good life!


    Following that, an eighteen to nineteen year old man went up on stage. He looked to be in a stable state and said, "I am Divine Ranked Class''s new student, Xiao Muran, I heard that Senior Sister Gu Jingrou''s talent is extremely good and her strength surpasses others, so I specially came to ask for guidance!"


    Just as he was about to spar with Senior Sister Gu Jingrou, the students below the stage could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.


    Gu Jingrou''s finger bones were curled tightly, and there was no place for him to vent his anger from before. He decisively jumped onto the stage and looked at Xiao Muran with disdain, "You want to challenge me?"


    There was a hint of mockery in that tone, as if he was saying, with just you, how could you be my opponent?


    "That''s right." Xiao Muran did not deny it, "Senior Sister Gu Jingrou, please make your move!


    Gu Jingrou snorted coldly, his slender and soft sword moved, he thought to himself, I must teach this fellow a lesson, give him some memory!


    Xiao Muran''s blade also came out, the two of them clashed, and the Spiritual Strength around their bodies, seemed to be of equal strength.


    "Ling Xi, exactly how strong is this Gu Jingrou?" Su Xiruo was curious about this question.


    "Gu Jingrou, I think she just leveled up to her Eight-star not long ago, so from the looks of her now, she''s probably still here." Mu Lingxi answered honestly, his tone full of disdain.


    This Gu Jingrou, is he a Eight-star? But from the looks of it, the Spiritual Strength undulations around Xiao Muran and her were similar.


    But at this time, the situation on the stage was already very clear. Although Xiao Muran''s strength was not bad either, he still lacked something, and the entire battle situation was completely within Gu Jingrou''s control.


    In the end, Xiao Muran was caught off guard and lost, ending the battle.


    "Junior Brother, sorry for offending you!" Gu Jingrou arrogantly looked at Xiao Muran, feeling extremely proud in her heart, as if she had finally saved some face!


    Xiao Muran''s finger bones curled tightly, he was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it. Even though he was also a Eight-star cultivator, he had lost completely in terms of brains and tactics, thus losing to Gu Jingrou in this way.


    It looks like this Mercenary Academy is indeed formidable. People at the same level will often be able to display an even greater strength after training.


    "Senior Sister, I am sincerely convinced." Xiao Muran sighed lightly, and walked off the stage with his face covered in dirt.


    Afterwards, there were a few new students who were not afraid of tigers and calves, and came to challenge the older students. Most of them were no match for the older students, and only one or two of them would occasionally shine.


    Overall, the strength of this batch of Divine Ranked Class students could be considered not bad. This way, Su Xiruo''s heart also felt a little pressured.


    However, no matter what, in a year''s time, she would obtain the first place in the competition and obtain the Flying Feather Spirit!


    The survival training lasted for more than six hours before it came to an end. Every student received a lot to be divided into classes.


    There were a total of twenty people in the primary Divine Ranked Class and they were divided into three classes. Each class only had an average of six or seven people.


    After it was over, Ye Zhuozhuo and Helian Yunqian came over to reunite with the two of them.


    "Ruo Ruo, your performance just now wasn''t bad. It just so happened to lower that woman''s spirit!" Ye Zhuozhuo was extremely excited, when he thought of how infuriated Gu Wanyun looked, he was especially happy.


    "Brilliant, hurry up and see which class you''re assigned to!" Mu Lingxi was quite concerned about this matter.


    Ye Zhuozhuo sighed, but did not mind at all: "What''s the use of looking, I''m definitely not in the same class as you guys, quickly take a look, are you two in the same class?"


    If he and A Xi could be separated, they could look out for each other, which was pretty good.


    Mu Lingxi and Su Xiruo took out their lots at the same time.


    "Great, you''re really in the same class." Ye Zhuozhuo was even happier than the two of them, "Sigh, the pitiful one is me, I have to stay in the Profound Rank class."


    "Don''t worry about it, Brilliant, I''ll go with you." Mu Lingxi still could not let her go easily.


    "Brilliant. We''ll visit you often, or you can stay with us." Su Xiruo comforted her. She understood that her burning heart must be the worst.


    Helian Yunqian walked forward and took out a few exquisite little concealed weapons from his sleeves, gently pulled Ye Zhuozhuo''s hand, and placed the concealed weapons into her hands. He warned her: "Brilliant, there are hidden dangers everywhere on this Mercenary Academy;


    Ye Zhuozhuo took the hidden weapon. His originally unhappy mood actually improved a lot after being comforted like this by the three of them.


    "Xiruo." At this time, Helian Yunqian faced Su Xiruo again and opened her small hand, placing the Red Jade Marrow Ring that she had returned to him previously, into the center of her palm.


    "I ¡­"


    "You are not allowed to return it to me!" Su Xiruo wanted to say something, but was cut off by him.


    "Alright." Su Xiruo understood his intentions, and accepted the storage ring, asking him, "Yun Qian, you''ve already sent us here, should we return?"


    Although she was reluctant, she knew that they would face each other sooner or later.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not directly answer, "You guys go ahead and rest, I''ll come look for you guys later."


    "Brother, aren''t you going back?" Ye Zhuozhuo felt that it was a little strange, and immediately urged her to stay, "If you don''t want me to go with Ruo Ruo, you might as well stay!"


    If her brother could stay with them, she would be happy.


    "Since you want me to stay, then I will." Helian Yunqian''s tone sounded somewhat arrogant and spoiled, "However, I still have some matters to take care of, so I won''t be going with you guys."


    "Yun Qian, you should first take care of your own matters." When Su Xiruo heard that he was going to stay, other than being puzzled, she was even more happy.


    "Yes." The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth lifted, the long fingerbone gently caressed her hair, and said: "Wait for me."


    With that, he took the lead and left.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, this is getting more and more sweet." Mu Lingxi shook his head, and muttered.


    "Let''s send her to her residence first, then we''ll go to our own residence." After all, in her heart, she was still quite worried about Ye Zhuozhuo.


    "Alright." Mu Lingxi immediately agreed.

 C70

    The residence of the Profound Rank Class was situated in a courtyard located to the east of the academy. Due to the fact that there were two to three hundred students in the Profound Rank class, the environment after entering was extremely chaotic.


    The Profound Rank Class was divided into ten classes, each class had twenty to thirty people, and Ye Zhuozhuo was in the last class. After finding his residence, the three of them stood outside and stopped in their tracks.


    "Such a small courtyard needs 23 people to house it, isn''t it crowded?" Mu Lingxi looked at the environment in front of him and immediately became displeased, "No, Searing Sun, I can''t let you live in such an environment."


    "A Xi, since everyone can live here, then of course I can live here too." Ye Zhuozhuo''s mentality was good, "Besides, it''s good to have more people."


    Mu Lingxi let out a helpless sigh, and accompanied her in. The students in the courtyard were sizing up Ye Zhuozhuo with strange eyes, secretly discussing something.


    "Isn''t this the old student of Divine Ranked Class, Mu Lingxi? Why are you here? "


    "And her, the new student who just defeated Senior Sister Wanyun."


    "Heh, what kind of background does that girl beside them have? She came here together with two students from Divine Ranked Class!"


    "She must have used quite a few methods. Otherwise, why would the students of Divine Ranked Class negotiate with her?"


    Although their discussions were quiet, it was still possible for them to hear it clearly, and it was especially ear-piercing.


    "What are you talking about?" Mu Lingxi could not tolerate being slandered so harshly, and said coldly.


    The students that were discussing amongst themselves all lowered their heads and left gloomily.


    "Alright, A Xi, don''t be angry. They misunderstood me and this is within reason." Ye Zhuozhuo hurriedly comforted him, "However, I will definitely use my strength to prove myself."


    There would be a day when she would make those people that had underestimated her become stupefied!


    Mu Lingxi was a little angry: "I''m just not used to hearing their tones, it''s just too much. Shining, I''m really worried, if you''re bullied right now, why don''t you come with us?"


    If he wasn''t by her side, he really wouldn''t be able to relax.


    Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, but still rejected the offer: "A Xi, I came to this academy for the sake of training myself, not to enjoy myself. If I had to escape all of this just because I felt a little wronged, then even I would look down on myself."


    Since he could not force her, Mu Lingxi could only give up. "Alright then, what if you get bullied here? You must tell us."


    "Let''s do it like this. Brilliant, you can follow us over to the Divine Ranked Class area and familiarize yourself with the surroundings and people. In the future, you can also go back and forth." Su Xiruo took the initiative to suggest.


    "Sure." Such a request, Ye Zhuozhuo naturally would not reject it. After all, in the academy, she was only acquainted with A Xi and Ruo Ruo.


    After coming to an agreement, the two of them followed Mu Lingxi and arrived at the residence of the primary Divine Ranked Class. Compared to the environment here, it was much quieter, after all, there were fewer people, only a total of three courtyards. Each courtyard had eight rooms, which could be said to have enough space.


    At this moment, there were four other students in the main hall. One of the men was sitting in the corner, flipping through a book while the other students were sitting beside him. The atmosphere was clearly a little off.


    Xiao Muran was seated in the center of the hall. When he saw them enter, he spoke in a haughty and arrogant manner: "Are you all students of Heavenly Ranked Class Three?"


    After looking up and down, Xiao Muran could tell with a glance that among the three, there was still a low hand, which made him immediately unhappy. "Why is there a low hand Spirit Master?"


    Mu Lingxi took a step forward, and subconsciously placed Ye Zhuozhuo behind him. "Xiao Muran, are you a new student? Seeing this old student of mine, how can you be so unruly! "


    "Heh, rules?" Xiao Muran did not seem to care, "In this entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three, my strength is the strongest, so what if you are an old student, in the future, when you are here, all of you must listen to me!"


    With that said, the man and woman sitting at the side did not dare make a sound, as though they were afraid of Xiao Muran''s strength.


    After all, even many of the older students might not be able to compare with Eight-star and Heavenly Spirit Master!


    Only one of the other youngsters seemed to turn a deaf ear to the book, as if unwilling to engage in any kind of struggle.


    "Xiao Muran." Su Xiruo glanced at him coldly, and said: "Is everyone from Heavenly Ranked Class Three here?"


    "That''s right." Xiao Muran raised his head slightly, "There are a total of twenty people in Divine Ranked Class, with seven in Class One and Class Two and one in our Class Three is one less person, so we have to be united even more. In the future, as long as you listen to me, I will guarantee that you will be unstoppable in your Divine Ranked Class!"


    "Heh." Su Xiruo only felt that his words were a little laughable, "With only your Eight-star, you want us to run rampant without obstruction in the entire Divine Ranked Class? I suggest that you stop joking around, and that you should go out and see exactly how strong the other two Divine Ranked Class are! "


    Divine Ranked Class One, had Yun Lan and Lin Yuan, two nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, and even a sect''s doctor overseeing it, so it could be said that his strength was the strongest out of the three Divine Ranked Class s!


    As for Divine Ranked Class Two, the leader was the two sisters Gu Jingrou. The Rose Mercenary Group that the two of them created was famous throughout the entire academy.


    And they, their Heavenly Ranked Class Three, only had one Eight-star. Their strength, when compared to others, was relatively mediocre, with one person missing. From the looks of it, this situation was already far from ordinary.


    In the next second, Xiao Muran''s face changed greatly. Although he admitted to what Su Xiruo said, he was still very unhappy with her tone of voice: "What, a five star Heavenly Spirit Master like yours can make waves even here?"


    Su Xiruo laughed noncommittally as he pulled Ye Zhuozhuo to the side and sat down on a seat, then said: "Xiao Muran, your strength is the highest, if you want to be the boss of Heavenly Ranked Class Three, we will not object, but at the very least, you have to tell us your own plans, what you plan to do with the six of us together, and how can you contend with the other two Divine Ranked Class s?"


    It had to be known that the battle between the three Divine Ranked Class s was the most intense. In a place where the strong preyed on the weak, if one''s strength was lacking, one would forever be stepped on and would be unable to raise their head!


    Xiao Muran coughed, he was obviously stumped by the chain of questions, and then changed the topic: "No matter what, this is low handed, she shouldn''t have infiltrated our Divine Ranked Class, she doesn''t have the qualifications!"


    "What right do you have to say that I''m not qualified?" Ye Zhuozhuo could not bear to listen any longer, so he stood up and retorted.


    "She''s a friend of Lingxi and me." Su Xiruo was not afraid, "If it was because of her, some secrets of our Heavenly Ranked Class Three would be leaked, Ling Xi and I will naturally be responsible, as for bringing her to visit, is that our freedom? Xiao Muran, if you want to interfere with even this, with your narrowness, I m afraid that we will not be able to convince you. "


    Although Xiao Muran was a Eight-star, she would never retreat in the slightest where she should not.


    "You actually dare to contradict me, you''re simply courting death!" Hearing her words, Xiao Muran''s heart was instantly enraged.


    "Alright." At this time, the young man who was reading in the corner interrupted Xiao Muran and said, "Xiao Muran, I am only here to take a look and I do not have any ill intentions.


    "Hmph." Xiao Muran got up, then agreed to give her a way out, "Come, let''s go out to take a look. "When I come back later, I hope this lowly hand doesn''t appear again!"


    With that, he walked away, and the man and woman who had been silent the entire time also left with Xiao Muran.


    "Don''t mind it. This guy is very arrogant. He will suffer eventually." Only after Xiao Muran left did the youth speak up. His tone sounded extremely friendly.


    "The people from Divine Ranked Class are all too unfriendly, right?" Ye Zhuozhuo helplessly shook his head, and smiled at the youth, and introduced him, "Hello, I am Ye Zhuozhuo, and he is Mu Lingxi. Old student, you should know him, this is Su Xiruo."


    "Yeah, I''ve heard about it already." The young man nodded slightly, and introduced himself: "My name is Qing Xuan."


    Su Xiruo carefully probed. This youth''s strength was not low, he should have a Heavenly Spirit Master of around six stars, which was about the same as Mu Lingxi''s.


    This Divine Ranked Class is truly a crouching tiger and hidden dragon.

 C71

    "Thank you for helping us out earlier." Su Xiruo thanked him very politely.


    "No need." Qing Xuan''s expression remained calm, she closed the book in her hands, "Take a look around, and after two hours, the hall will be complete."


    With that, Qing Xuan turned and left by himself.


    "Gather in two hours?" Ye Zhuozhuo frowned, a little puzzled.


    "It should be to gather and meet with teacher." Mu Lingxi was very clear about this process.


    Ye Zhuozhuo immediately widened his eyes, feeling somewhat astonished: "All of the teachers in Divine Ranked Class should all be very powerful, right?"


    "Yeah, but a few days ago, Divine Ranked Class left the side of a teacher, so it is possible that they will transfer people here from Senior Class." Mu Lingxi was still looking forward to which teacher they would be assigned to.


    If they could be assigned a teacher with Senior Class, it would definitely be of great help to them in increasing their strength.


    "Let''s take a look around here first." Ye Zhuozhuo was already impatient, he wanted to explore the academy.


    At the same time, Xiao Muran brought two new students and wandered around, looking extremely arrogant.


    Even though he did not succeed in challenging Gu Jingrou today, it was still a glorious defeat. After all, Gu Jingrou was a top student of Divine Ranked Class, so defeating her without her knowing was not really a shameful thing.


    Such a high-profile journey was already eye-catching to begin with, let alone the fact that not long after they had arrived at the residence of Divine Ranked Class, they were eyed by a luxuriously dressed Men In Black.


    Xiao Muran saw that there were four people following behind Men In Black, and then looked at himself. In the entirety of his Heavenly Ranked Class Three, there were only two people who listened to him, and his heart immediately felt unbalanced.


    Therefore, Xiao Muran took the initiative to go forward and greet them: "Hello, I am the boss of Heavenly Ranked Class Three. May I know how to address this brother? It''s also good for us Divine Ranked Class''s people to get to know each other. "


    This Men In Black looked a little familiar. Xiao Muran knew that he had Divine Ranked Class, but he didn''t know who he was.


    Men In Black glanced at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "The boss of Heavenly Ranked Class Three? Who sealed it? "


    These words caused Xiao Muran to lose a lot of face: "Naturally, it''s divided by strength!"


    "Gu Jingrou''s defeated opponent is actually the boss of Heavenly Ranked Class Three. From what I see, isn''t this Heavenly Ranked Class Three a little too weak?" Men In Black mocked coldly.


    Xiao Muran''s face instantly changed. He was a little unhappy: "What do you mean by that? "Your tone is pretty good!"


    Behind Men In Black, a man said: "Brat, you truly do not know the heights of heaven and earth. This person is our Divine Ranked Class One''s boss, Senior Brother Yun Lan! Compared to us, your Heavenly Ranked Class Three is indeed too weak! "


    Senior Brother Yun Lan! These words, had landed in Xiao Muran''s mind, leaving a deep impression.


    The old student of the Divine Ranked Class, Yun Lan, currently already had the strength of a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master. He had missed the opportunity to advance this year and had even crossed arms with the Senior Class, however, his strength was already very close to that of the Senior Class!


    Yun Lan''s reputation, was extremely resounding in the entire Elementary Profound Realm!


    At this moment, Xiao Muran felt a little guilty, but he still continued to talk unmercifully: "Senior Brother Yun Lan, you have already been in this [Beginner Divine Ranked Class] for two to three years right? It should be time to go to the Senior Class, what''s the point in being the overlord of our junior class? "


    Xiao Muran probably felt that if he was given another year or two, he would definitely be able to advance into the Senior Class.


    These words instantly touched upon Yun Lan''s point of anger. He curled his fingers tightly, and angrily said, "You arrogant new student, if I didn''t teach you a lesson today, you really wouldn''t know whose world Divine Ranked Class this is!"


    With that, the Spiritual Strength around Yun Lan''s body started to climb, as though it did not have any intentions of holding back.


    Xiao Muran still had some lingering fear, but in the end he turned his head and said to the two people behind him: "You guys know Yun Lan''s strength, in a bit, come with me. Don''t be afraid of him!"


    One of the women was clearly in a difficult situation: "I think we should forget about it. He''s almost a member of Spirit Monarch, we are definitely not his match!"


    Xiao Muran, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand slightly. He did not forget to brush his presence: "Dragon Seal Empire, Xiao Muran, Eight-star!"


    Following that, Helian Yunqian''s gaze landed on Mu Lingxi''s body, indicating that it was his turn.


    Mu Lingxi laughed, and put on a nonchalant expression: "There''s no need to introduce me and Xiruo anymore, right?"


    "What do you think?" Helian Yunqian gave him a meaningful look.


    Mu Lingxi retracted his smile, and could only obediently follow the rules: "Dragon Seal Empire, Mu Lingxi, Six Star Heavenly Spirit Master."


    Su Xiruo also opened his mouth randomly: "Dragon Seal Empire, Su Xiruo, five star Heavenly Spirit Master."


    Compared to that, his Heavenly Ranked Class Three was indeed as strong as the clouds, and with his five star Heavenly Spirit Master, it was simply nothing!


    After a long while, Helian Yunqian finally spoke: "In other words, you all ¡­ Missing a physician? "


    A normal Mercenary Group would require at least a physician and a Refiner, in addition to a strong Spirit Master.


    The Refiner may not matter, but doctors were extremely important and indispensable.


    Although Xi''er was a Poison Master and her level wasn''t low, her identity as a Poison Master couldn''t be directly revealed.


    "That''s right, our Heavenly Ranked Class Three is one less person from the start. Our overall strength is also inferior to the other two classes." Mu Lingxi sighed helplessly and spoke the truth.


    "In that case, we should restrain ourselves a little. Without strength, we shouldn''t go out and cause trouble!" Helian Yunqian''s words were obviously meant to teach Xiao Muran a lesson.


    "Yes." Xiao Muran''s face was flushed red, but he did not dare to refute anything.


    However, he was still a bit angry in his heart. He was probably thinking that when his injuries recovered, he would not be as sullen as he was now!


    Following that, Liu Sheng continued to speak: "Since you guys are here at Mercenary Academy, you should know what a mercenary does. Right now, you guys are going to face your first mission since entering the academy."


    The so-called mercenary was someone who completed a task and obtained commission and other resources. The more difficult and difficult the task was, the higher the commission would be obtained. However, there was a certain price to be paid for this.


    They were really looking forward to this first mission. After all, they couldn''t wait to show off their strength.


    "Then what''s so difficult about it?" Xiao Muran muttered, looking down on her.


    Before coming to the Mercenary Academy, he had already completed many missions by himself, so he naturally did not put them in his eyes.


    "This time, the mission you are going to take on, is two missions related to Profound Rank." Liu Sheng glanced at him impatiently.


    The moment he said that, the six of them were stunned.


    According to the difficulty, the missions accepted by the mercenaries were divided into five categories: Mortal, Spirit, Profound, Sky, and Divine. The Mortal Realm was the easiest, and Divine Rank was the hardest.


    For missions like the Profound Rank, they would usually need to cross empires to complete them. To them, the difficulty was rather high, let alone two Profound Rank missions!


    As for Xiao Muran, he had never accepted any Profound Rank missions either. Before this, the only missions he had accepted were Spiritual Ranked missions.


    "With our current strength, we probably won''t be able to complete the Profound Rank mission." At this time, Nangong Yi raised his own question.


    "All of the missions in the Mercenary Group need to be completed jointly. The six of you are now a group. Liu Sheng explained to them, "On this mission, there will be competition among the three Divine Ranked Class s. You two are weaker than the other two in Divine Ranked Class, so you guys should just go and have some snacks!"


    There was competition, and it was even between three Divine Ranked Class s. That was indeed something to be taken seriously.


    Therefore, Liu Sheng stated the two missions that they needed to complete: "You need to escort a rich man of Great Gan Empire to the Great Gan Empire, and a group of precious medicinal ingredients. This mission was completed by all of you at the same time, and after this is completed, at the border of Great Gan Empire and Great Gan Empire, there is a large Spirit Beast Mountain Range.

 C72

    "Two Six Rank Spiritual Beast, three Divine Ranked Class?" Mu Lingxi seemed to have detected something odd, "Could it be that the three of us are going to compete for the two spirit beasts?!"


    "That''s right." Liu Sheng did not deny it, "The mission only requires two spirit beasts, and they were assigned to do so. Therefore, based on the time you guys have killed them, the final completion of the mission is related to you guys!"


    In other words, no matter what, there would definitely be a class that would not be able to complete all of the missions. Furthermore, in order to compete for the spirit beasts, there would inevitably be a battle between two Divine Ranked Class s!


    "The mission will only be accepted ten days later, so, within these ten days, you can make adequate preparations." At this time, Liu Sheng began to tell them the rules again, "Also, choose a leader from the six people here!"


    "How should we filter out the information about the leader?" Bai Yanxi curiously asked.


    Mercenary Academy uses gold coins as the currency, and right now, other than the older students who will have some gold coins, the new students do not have any. Hence, ten days later, which of the six of you has the most gold coins, will be selected as the temporary leader of this mission. Liu Sheng explained a lot to them.


    "Oh right, the new students are probably unaware of the Mercenary Academy''s rules. The medicinal ingredients or silvers you brought from outside the academy are all invalid within the Mercenary Academy!"


    In the next second, Su Xiruo was dumbfounded!


    No one had told her before, but Mercenary Academy could only be used for gold coins. Then wouldn''t the gold and medicinal ingredients that he brought along be of no use at all?


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, thinking, he really wasted his time.


    "I have already done what I have to say. If you have any other questions, just say them!" Liu Sheng secretly glanced at his master, who was still expressionless. Then, what he said just now should not be wrong!


    Xiao Muran immediately spoke out: "To choose a leader based on the price of gold coins, what kind of rules is that? Shouldn''t the choice be based on strength? "


    Liu Sheng snorted coldly, as if he did not care about this arrogant fellow, "Gold coins can be obtained from various channels, and the way to obtain them is not only by relying on one''s strength. If a brave and unscrupulous man were to become the leader, then this Mercenary Group would be considered finished!"


    Xiao Muran''s fingers were curled tightly, as if he was very unwilling, but with Helian Yunqian here, he did not dare refute anything, and could only stay silent.


    At this time, Su Xiruo faintly spoke: "Master Helian ¡­"


    Helian Yunqian''s gaze landed on her body. His originally cold and indifferent eyes suddenly turned warm, and even became a lot more gentle: "What do you think?"


    "I feel that a doctor is indispensable to a person with Mercenary Group." Su Xiruo then brought up his own thought, "Compared to the other two Divine Ranked Class, the greatest weakness of our Heavenly Ranked Class Three is the lack of doctors. This flaw, I think, should be made up for."


    "Mm, you''re right." Helian Yunqian thought, what my wife said made sense, "Then think of a way to borrow a doctor from the Heavenly Ranked Class to use."


    In any case, the Mercenary Academy had no rule that no one could borrow help from other classes, and doing so wouldn''t be considered a violation of the rules.


    "No need to borrow. There''s already one here." Su Xiruo walked forward, and lightly patted Ye Zhuozhuo''s shoulders, "Let''s use Blistering, if it''s like this, we don''t have to spend so much effort to find it!"


    In the next second, Xiao Muran was the first to disagree: "It''s simply nonsense, a is low handed, and worthy to complete missions with us Divine Ranked Class?"


    "Yeah." Nangong Yi immediately agreed, "The disparity in strength is too great, bringing her along is equivalent to bringing along a burden!"


    "As long as I do my duty as a physician." After hearing what they said, Ye Zhuozhuo was a little unwilling, "Furthermore, I will keep up with your pace, and will not disappoint you!"


    To be able to be together with A Xi, Ye Zhuozhuo naturally felt extremely happy in his heart.


    "Master Helian, do you really not care about such nonsense?" Xiao Muran couldn''t explain it better than the two of them, so he threw this question to Helian Yunqian, "Even selecting a doctor from Heavenly Ranked Class would be much better than her!"


    Between Helian Yunqian''s brows, a hint of displeasure appeared: "Brilliant is now an Intermediate Profound Realm doctor, even in Heavenly Ranked Class, it is not weak, I think this is fine."


    In his heart, he naturally would protect his sister and his wife forever.


    "Hmph ¡­" Hearing Master Helian say this, Xiao Muran was speechless, but he still felt a bit unhappy in his heart.


    In the end, he was still too young, so he had to do such a thing. At that time, if anything were to happen to Ye Zhuozhuo, let''s see what he would say!


    Seeing that he could stay, Ye Zhuozhuo was extremely happy. Holding Su Xiruo''s hand, he was extremely excited.


    "That is all I have to tell you today." Liu Sheng shot a cold glance at Xiao Muran, and seemed to have said those words intentionally for him to hear, "In this Heavenly Ranked Class Three, as long as you don''t cause trouble, anything will do.


    Xiao Muran''s finger bones were curled tightly, as though he was unconvinced. But at the moment, he could only endure it and struggled to get up, then limped out of the room.


    He had to get the most gold coins in order for these weaklings to bow down in front of him!


    The others also left, and in the entire inner hall, only Su Xiruo, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo remained. The atmosphere, it was as if the atmosphere had instantly relaxed.


    "Brother, why didn''t you say so earlier? Why did you insist on giving us such a big surprise?" There was a slight sense of blame in Ye Zhuozhuo''s tone, but he was still quite happy in his heart.


    Originally, she was reluctant to part with her brother. However, this time, she should be able to see him more often.


    "I''m afraid that if I say it out loud, it would become a shock." Helian Yunqian stood up, and impatiently walked to Xi Ruo''s side, "Then Xiao Muran didn''t make things difficult for you, right?"


    "No, I''m afraid he doesn''t have the heart to make things difficult for us right now. I''m afraid he has to put all his effort into acquiring the gold coins." Su Xiruo seemed to be able to guess what Xiao Muran was thinking.


    He wholeheartedly wanted to dominate all of Heavenly Ranked Class Three, and make all of them listen to his words.


    "He''s just a brainless guy." Mu Lingxi coldly snorted, not caring in the slightest, "Xiruo, I would rather you become the leader than that guy!"


    "Hmm, Ruo Ruo, I think so too." Ye Zhuozhuo immediately agreed, "If Xiao Muran becomes your leader, then I''m afraid that all those Heavenly Ranked Class Three would go astray."


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, "Since all of you say so, then I will also go and fight for it."


    Ten days of preparation time was still more than enough for Su Xiruo. She was not in a hurry to go everywhere to earn gold coins, but instead went to the Book Pavilion first.


    Mercenary Academy were rich in resources, and only students with primary Heavenly Ranked Class and above could enter. As a result, all the students wanted to squeeze their way through to the High Ranked class.


    For the past year or so, Su Xiruo had always continued to cultivate, and had neglected the practice of Spiritual Skill a little. Now, he only knew a few lower level Spiritual Skill, but if they really fought, he would still be at a disadvantage.


    Therefore, she wanted to improve on her own Spiritual Skill.


    After browsing for a long time, it was almost impossible to find Spiritual Skill s with attributes corresponding to one''s own attributes, which were mostly at the intermediate level in Book Pavilion.


    She walked to the end and saw that there was actually another level above the Book Pavilion, and only set up the Barrier.


    "I''m sorry, but you can''t go in." Seeing that she wanted to enter, the guard immediately stopped her, "In the upper echelons, only the High Ranked students can enter."


    If only the students of the High Ranked could enter the upper levels of the Book Pavilion, then the resources available would be much better than the ones available on this level.


    Su Xiruo helplessly shook his head, he could only turn his head and casually picked up a grey scroll of the Spiritual Skill s of the early stage, and planned to leave.

 C73

    Su Xiruo picked up the Spiritual Skill and went to the Book Pavilion entrance to register it.


    Every one of the Book Pavilion''s Spiritual Skill s were very common, every student could only borrow one scroll at a time, and within a month, they must be returned intact.


    "Yang attribute Spiritual Skill, you?" The man in charge of registration glanced at the properties of the Spiritual Skill, and looked at Su Xiruo in surprise.


    "Why?" Su Xiruo didn''t understand what he wanted to say.


    "In just one day, I''ve encountered two new students with rare attributes. How rare!" The man shook his head, feeling incredulous.


    Who said that this year''s new students were weak? He had actually encountered two students with the Yin-Yang attribute of one in a day? This was something he had never even dared to think about before.


    "Two?" Su Xiruo was suddenly curious about another person, "There''s another student with a rare attribute, who is it?"


    "It also seems to be from your Heavenly Ranked Class Three. His name is Qing Xuan and he is from the Yin Attribute." The man still remembered clearly.


    "Qing Xuan..." Su Xiruo recited this name once in his mouth. He had some impression of it.


    Wasn''t it just yesterday, when she first came to the academy, the youngster who saved them, was actually a Yin Attribute?!


    However, Su Xiruo did not say much, took the Spiritual Skill and left.


    This Heavenly Ranked Class Three, even if it was the weakest of the three, none of them could be underestimated!


    However, there was nothing to be afraid of. There would be a day when she would surpass every single one of them. This was her current smallest goal!


    Su Xiruo returned to the Pear Garden where his Heavenly Ranked Class Three was located and entered his room, planning to first delve into the Spiritual Skill.


    Opening the scroll, she only saw the words'' Moon-Slaying Slash ''written on the Spiritual Skill''s forehead. After carefully reading the technique, for her current strength, this Spiritual Skill was not difficult at all.


    At this moment, a series of knocks came from outside the door. Helian Yunqian''s pleasant voice came from outside the door, "Xiruo, can I come in?"


    "Come in."


    With the permission of his wife, Helian Yunqian pushed open the door and saw Su Xiruo sitting cross-legged on the bed, planning to cultivate, so he asked: "Am I ¡­ Did I disturb you? "


    Then, his gaze unwittingly fell on the Profound Rank Spiritual Skill on the table, and frowned slightly: "You''re cultivating the Spiritual Skill?"


    "That''s right, I just went to take a spin at the Book Pavilion and casually brought back a scroll." Su Xiruo was surprised to see him, and asked: "What''s wrong, is there a problem?"


    Helian Yunqian smiled and closed the scroll, "This kind of trash, please do not waste time on cultivation."


    "Ah?" Tattered? " Su Xiruo was suddenly speechless.


    Even though the low-level Spiritual Skill was not particularly good, it was still a after all. He did not pale in comparison to it, to actually reject it with a word of trash!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo probed: "Then do you have a Spiritual Skill with even more High Ranked to teach me?"


    Since Yun Qian was able to say something like that, it proved that he definitely had an even better Spiritual Skill. No, he had to think of a way to trick one or two out of him.


    "As long as my wife asks, I will naturally have it." Helian Yunqian sat in front of her and said in a tone of discussion, "However, your current strength is still too low. If you were to cultivate Spiritual Skill of Supreme High Ranked, I''m afraid that you would not be able to control it.


    "Low level? No matter what, you must be at least at the Intermediate Profound Rank realm. " Su Xiruo was a little perturbed in his heart, worried that Yue Yang would not be willing to teach him, "Otherwise, I might as well study this trash myself."


    Most likely, she was trying to deceive the Spiritual Skill which had higher High Ranked.


    If Yun Qian was willing to take out a high level Spiritual Skill, that would be for the best.


    Helian Yunqian was startled for a moment, her long fingerbone lightly pinched Xi Ruo''s smooth and delicate face, and with an incomparably spoilt tone, she asked: "Girl, why can''t you have a bit of a goal?"


    Without waiting for Su Xiruo to speak, Helian Yunqian took out a scroll from the Storage Ring and placed it in front of her.


    Su Xiruo opened the scroll and was shocked by the dazzling golden word, "Sakura Stinger, Intermediate Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill!"


    Su Xiruo blinked her eyes, thinking that she had seen wrongly. After all, this was the first time she had seen the Spiritual Skill of the Heavenly Ranked, and furthermore, it was the middle yang attribute Spiritual Skill of the Heavenly Ranked!


    If such a scroll were to be auctioned off at the Auction House, it might attract the attention of the entire Empire!


    Seeing that there was something wrong with Su Xiruo''s expression, Helian Yunqian thought that she was dissatisfied, and became anxious: "What''s wrong? If you think that this Spiritual Skill is too low in level, I ¡­ "


    "No, there''s no need!" Su Xiruo interrupted him as if he was frightened.


    He actually had an even higher level Spiritual Skill? No wonder he said just now that the scroll that he took out from the Book Pavilion was trash.


    Compared to them, the of the early stage Profound Rank seemed much dimmer and dimmer.


    "This Cherry Blossom Stab perfectly fits your attributes and is famous for its speed. Often, you will be able to defeat your opponent when you are caught off guard." Helian Yunqian then introduced the Spiritual Skill to her, "If I am able to learn it, its degree of injury should be comparable to the high level Heavenly Ranked."


    A high level, that was almost close to the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill. Su Xiruo had never thought that one day, he would be able to get so close to the two words "Divine Rank"!


    "Then, how long does it take for me to master the Spiritual Skill?" Su Xiruo was suddenly filled with anticipation.


    "Xiruo, your talent is extraordinary. You should be able to learn it within a month or so. However, if you want to master it, I''m afraid you''ll need at least three months." Helian Yunqian rested his chin on his hand and said seriously.


    Only after three months would he be able to completely master the technique. As expected of the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, its difficulty was definitely extraordinary.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo impatiently said: "Hurry and teach me!"


    "Give me your hand." Helian Yunqian held her small hands and channeled the Spiritual Skill technique into her mind.


    Moments later, Su Xiruo opened his eyes and within his mind, the image of a complicated cultivation technique surfaced. It seemed like he still needed a certain amount of time before he could sort it out completely.


    She took out Can Meng s from her sleeves. Following the technique in her mind, Can Meng s made their move, and in the next second, the ceramic vase that was far away was shattered, and the fragments fell to the ground.


    Su Xiruo looked at him joyfully, as if she wanted to receive his praise.


    "Too slow. With that bit of skill just now, he was able to dodge it long ago." Who would have thought that Helian Yunqian would say this in an extremely objective manner?


    Seeing that his wife was slightly dejected, he immediately changed his words: "However, the first time you used this Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, you already succeeded, your talent is still excellent."


    Following the mental cultivation method, Su Xiruo tried over ten times and each time, there was a visible improvement. Even Helian Yunqian was a little surprised, this girl''s talent was even more terrifying than what she had imagined.


    After training for a while, Su Xiruo finally familiarized himself with the moves of the Sakura Thrust: "Yun Qian, look, I roughly know how to use the Sakura Thrust."


    The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth rose slightly, and she laughed lightly: "What you know right now is only the skin. If you want to truly master the fusion and unleash the full power of the Sakura Thrust, you will need to put in more effort."


    Hearing his words, Su Xiruo became a little anxious, "Then ¡­"


    Before she could finish speaking, Helian Yunqian had already embraced her from behind, and unintentionally interrupted the topic: "Xiruo, I''ve been in here for so long, yet you haven''t even talked to me properly, and are busy with cultivation, hmm?"


    His tone actually sounded somewhat arrogant and spoiled.


    He had originally thought that taking out the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill would make his wife happy. Who knew that she would be so engrossed in the Spiritual Skill that she wouldn''t even look at him.


    If he knew this would happen, he would have told her to fawn on him first.


    Su Xiruo seemed to have also realized that he had neglected her as a "jealous" husband, so his tone softened as well, "I''ve been busy for a long time, and you haven''t even told me why you have come to this Mercenary Academy?"


    With her understanding of Yun Qian, even though he was a high ranking Mercenary Academy cultivator, he would definitely not be willing to bring along any Divine Ranked Class.

 C74

    "Of course I''m worried about you. I''m coming with you." Helian Yunqian didn''t conceal his worry for her in the slightest.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he couldn''t stop worrying about Xi Ruo, he wouldn''t have come to this damned place.


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh: "If I were to follow you wherever I go, wouldn''t that be making people laugh? How am I to stand up alone from now on?"


    Despite what she said, she was happy.


    "That is not my business. The only thing I can do is to look after you." Helian Yunqian''s tone was a little arrogant and delicate, the long and slender fingerbone hugging her even more tightly.


    "In ten days, if we go on a mission, will you follow us?" Su Xiruo casually asked.


    Helian Yunqian thought for a moment, then asked: "You really hope that I can follow you?"


    "I''m just asking." She denied it.


    "According to the academy''s rules, I can''t follow you on the surface. At most, I can provide some assistance in the dark from time to time." Helian Yunqian patiently explained to her, "However, since you have said it, I will send people to secretly monitor your movements and movements at all times."


    Actually, even if Xi Ruo didn''t tell him, he would still want to know where Xi Ruo was at all times.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded slightly.


    She knew that not only was it within the academy but Yun Qian was also within the Dragon Seal Empire. There should be many things that needed to be dealt with, so there was no way for him to circle around her every second.


    Three days passed by quickly. Almost every day, Su Xiruo would shut himself in his room and cultivate.


    In just three short days, she was already able to control the Cherry Blossom Thorn, and her Spiritual Strength had also increased by a lot.


    And Helian Yunqian wasn''t the one who spent his days at school, he only appeared occasionally, and most of the time, there was no one to be seen.


    Today, Su Xiruo pushed open the door to his room, wanting to take a walk around the academy, but upon walking into the courtyard, he realized that there wasn''t a single person on the entire Pear Garden at all.


    It seemed like they were all trying their best to earn gold coins and fight for the position of boss.


    "Xiruo," a familiar voice suddenly sounded by his ear as Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo walked over from outside the courtyard.


    "I say, why aren''t you in a hurry at all? You don''t even know how to earn more gold coins, Xiao Muran and the others are going to join hands." Mu Lingxi''s tone sounded rather anxious.


    "What''s the meaning of joining forces?" Su Xiruo didn''t really understand.


    "They are Bai Yanxi and Nangong Yi, the two of them have reached an agreement with Xiao Muran, the three of them will earn gold coins, at that time, I will give the result to Xiao Muran as a gift!" Mu Lingxi then explained to her, "The three of them have been standing at the entrance of the Duel Yard and each of them have a lot of gold coins with them. If this goes on, the situation will become disadvantageous for us!"


    After saying that, he took out a few dozen gold coins from his pocket, "This is what I''ve worked hard to earn these past few days. You take this first. Just the two of us worrying about you isn''t a solution!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo was a little helpless: "That''s right, if, Xiao Muran and the rest hate us like that, if he is the boss, then we might not have any good days ahead of us."


    When Ye Zhuozhuo thought about those days, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.


    Su Xiruo held the gold coins tightly in his hands, and said: "Don''t worry, I will definitely not let Xiao Muran succeed, Ling Xi, in the next few days, you and I will go to the Duel Yard to earn gold coins, take these gold coins to buy the medicine and burn them, don''t go out, we will take the Auction House back home to make the medicine, and we will sell some gold coins there, as long as we work together, we will definitely not lose to them!"


    It was a pity that she could not reveal her identity as the Poison Master, otherwise, it would be easy for her to earn gold coins, and with the help of some rare poisons, she would already be able to earn a lot of gold coins.


    The herbs he had brought with him had been confiscated. Now, he could only rely on himself to walk out step by step!


    "Yes." Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo became much more confident after hearing her words.


    Mercenary Academy had a very big flea market, and the merchants inside were mostly students. With this flea market, it was also convenient for students to exchange whatever they wanted.


    The three of them strolled around the flea market and came across a lot of low-level herbs from a vendor''s stall. Most of them were under the Fourth Order.


    Ye Zhuozhuo lowered his head, skillfully grabbing a handful of medicinal herbs, and asked: "Can you give me the total price for these medicinal herbs?"


    After all, their funds were limited. Furthermore, it would be much faster to create low grade medicinal ingredients. Therefore, they would have to choose some cheap ones first.


    The vendor glanced at them and saw that they were all cheap level 2 medicinal ingredients. He waved his hand and said, "Take them away for a total of 50 gold coins."


    "Thirty gold coins." Su Xiruo suddenly spoke out a haggling price. It was roughly evident at a glance that these dilapidated medicinal ingredients were not worth fifty gold coins at all.


    The stall owner was immediately displeased. "That won''t do. I''ve worked hard to gather them for two days. Thirty gold coins and I''ve lost!"


    Of course, Su Xiruo understood the thoughts of this evil merchant, he took his time and pulled Ye Zhuozhuo along, and prepared to leave: "Shining, then we''ll go somewhere else to take a look."


    "Wait, wait!" Sure enough, in less than a second, the stall owner had compromised, "Alright, 30 gold coins will do!"


    Only then did Ye Zhuozhuo count out thirty gold coins from his money bag and gave it to the vendor. There was still more than thirty gold coins left.


    The budget was limited, so he could only be a little shabby right now.


    Su Xiruo saw the helplessness in Ye Zhuozhuo''s eyes, and said: "Just you wait, Ling Xi and I will go to Duel Yard to earn more gold coins for you, that way, we can exchange for more ingredients."


    "Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo was rather optimistic, in his heart he had full confidence in the two of them.


    "Yo, you guys want this kind of low-level trash? Why did he stay in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three for a few days and become like this?" Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice entered his ears.


    Ye Zhuozhuo lifted his head. It was none other than Gu Wanyun and his Divine Ranked Class Two and Su Biyue was actually standing together with them.


    "Hey, Gu Wanyun, what do you mean?" Ye Zhuozhuo immediately replied back, "I''m here to buy some medicinal herbs, do I need your advice?"


    This Gu Wanyun, she must be sick of eating, right? To be mocked by her when she came to buy medicinal ingredients herself, just thinking about it makes her angry!


    Gu Wanyun came up and sized them up, "Ling Xi, it''s fine if you mix with Su Xiruo, but you even want to mix with this. In my opinion, your Heavenly Ranked Class Three is really not good enough!"


    "I heard that your Heavenly Ranked Class Three is lacking a doctor. This Ye Zhuozhuo, could he be the doctor that you brought here to save the situation?" Qin Zichen also added fuel to the fire by the side, laughing sarcastically.


    Ye Zhuozhuo''s fingers curled tightly together, he really wanted to go up and slap her. But then, with a smile, he said to Gu Wanyun: "Isn''t this the result of my defeat? "It looks like I was too gentle during the Trial. How did your injuries heal so quickly?"


    He purposely raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear.


    Gu Wanyun''s face was flushed red, he was most afraid of being mentioned. After all, losing to a new student was a very shameful thing, and furthermore, this new student was actually so arrogant!


    "Su Xiruo, shut up. You were just lucky last time!" Gu Wanyun was flustered and exasperated, he wanted to make a move on the spot, but was stopped by Su Biyue.


    "Big Sister Wanyun, don''t be angry, if we were to fight here, it would violate the rules of the academy." After Su Biyue finished speaking, he even shot Ye Zhuozhuo and Su Xiruo a friendly glance.


    Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Even if I''m in Class Two, I''m not in the mood to go against you."


    With regards to Su Biyue''s fake face, Su Xiruo felt disdain and coldly said: "Since fighting is not allowed here, then let''s go to the Duel Yard!"


    "What do you mean?" Gu Wanyun was obviously feeling guilty, would Su Xiruo really fight with her again?

 C75

    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, and spoke with a tone of provocation: "Didn''t you say just now that I won against you last time purely because I got lucky? "Fine, I will defeat you once more today and make you convinced from the bottom of your heart!"


    At the same time, he could use these people to farm gold to establish his prestige.


    "Su Xiruo, what arrogant words you have. How do you know that this time, you will be able to defeat me?" Gu Wanyun looked at her with wide eyes, disdain filling up his words.


    "Sure." Su Xiruo answered, glancing at the three of them, "The three of you do not need to be anxious, just come one at a time, I will take care of each and every one of you!"


    Hearing that, Su Biyue subconsciously took a step back, and immediately shook his head: "No, Sister Cyril, my strength is low, how could I be your opponent?"


    It would be better to be weak first. After all, if they really fought, then she would not have much to eat at Su Xiruo''s place.


    Qin Zichen coldly snorted, and seemed to become even more arrogant: "Su Xiruo, I have a six star Heavenly Spirit Master, are you not afraid of losing your tongue by saying such arrogant words?"


    "Since I dare to say it out loud, I will definitely be able to do it." Su Xiruo was too lazy to bother with their nonsense, "Alright, see you at Duel Yard!"


    Mercenary Academy were extremely lively and most of them were just there to watch the show. They were surrounded by people everywhere, especially in battles between experts, which would usually attract the attention of many.


    There were many people spectating from below the stage. After all, this Gu Wanyun was an old student of the Divine Ranked Class, and with the entrance examination a few days ago, Gu Wanyun had already lost to this new student once.


    Therefore, the battle between these two was quite interesting.


    Gu Wanyun looked at the crowd, feeling more or less nervous. With so many people watching, this battle today, was about face.


    Fortunately, she had just consumed the spirit medicine needed to temporarily raise her Spiritual Strength. It was enough to raise her strength by two small stages to the strength of about seven star Heavenly Spirit Master in a short amount of time.


    However, at this time, the effects of the pill had yet to take effect, causing Gu Wanyun to feel guilty, he turned and looked at Qin Zichen who was below the stage.


    Qin Zichen immediately understood her meaning and leaped up the stage, standing in front of Gu Wanyun.


    "What? Are you planning on fighting two against one?" Mu Lingxi asked.


    "I''ll go first!" Qin Zichen stared at Su Xiruo coldly, "Su Xiruo, do you dare to accept my challenge first?"


    "Do as you wish. Just hurry up and start. Don''t dawdle." And Su Xiruo, it seemed as if he did not care about this problem at all.


    Qin Zichen patted Gu Wanyun''s hands: "Wanyun, you go down and wait. I will help you teach this girl a lesson.


    With regards to Qin Zichen''s strength, Gu Wanyun trusted him somewhat. Nodding his head, he leapt off the stage.


    Qin Zichen pulled out the big blade from his back, bringing a sharp blade, he then rushed towards Su Xiruo''s face. Su Xiruo took action, unhurriedly blocking Qin Zichen''s attack.


    Below the stage, Mu Lingxi began to shout loudly: Come, bet, bet, I bet on Su Xiruo''s victory!


    Without even thinking about it, he bet his remaining thirty over gold coins onto Su Xiruo''s name.


    She believed that Xiruo wouldn''t lose to that guy.


    Su Xiruo was at a disadvantage. After all, Qin Zichen was truly a six star Heavenly Spirit Master and had grasped several Profound Rank s.


    As a result, a majority of the people betted on Qin Zichen''s name, and only a small number of people who wanted to use their swords to push the wind, betted on Su Xiruo, and hoped that they would be able to turn the tables for the first time in history!


    Gu Wanyun let out a cold snort, straightforwardly took out a thousand gold coins, and placed it on Qin Zichen''s name. "Stop dreaming, that girl Su Xiruo, is not a match for Zi Chen!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were stupefied when they saw a thousand gold coins.


    "Gu Wanyun, thank you for your sponsorship." Mu Lingxi said frivolously, as if he had already obtained the thousand gold.


    "What big words you have there, I think Su Xiruo is definitely going to lose!" Gu Wanyun crossed his chest, looking completely righteous.


    At this time, Su Biyue gently pulled at the corner of her clothes and said in a very soft voice, "Big Sister Wanyun, I think ¡­ It''s not certain yet! "


    "What?" Only then did Gu Wanyun react, his gaze returning to the stage, only to see that at that moment, the situation on stage was already slowly changing.


    The two of them fought for more than ten rounds. Originally, Su Xiruo had always been at a disadvantage, but after a dozen rounds, Qin Zichen seemed to have exhausted some of his energy. On the other hand, Su Xiruo did not change his words at all.


    "Zi Chen, hurry up and finish her off. Don''t waste any more time with her!" Gu Wanyun immediately warned with a loud voice.


    The more time passed, the more it would be disadvantageous to Qin Zichen. This damned girl, she must be trying to take advantage of this opening!


    Hearing Gu Wanyun''s words, Qin Zichen felt a sense of danger in his heart, so he quickly got rid of Su Xiruo and planned to kill this woman in one blow!


    With his tactics seen through, Su Xiruo knew that it was impossible for him to continue delaying. Now, he had to face Qin Zichen head on!


    Qin Zichen waved his big blade, the sharp blade tip, seemed to be able to cut the dawn.


    He used the Spiritual Skill, and furthermore, it was definitely a Spiritual Skill of the intermediate level and above. If Su Xiruo did not use the Spiritual Skill to fight it, he would not be able to withstand it!


    Su Xiruo held the Can Meng tightly, he calmed himself down and started to think about the Fallen Cherry Stinger technique.


    More than ten concealed weapons flew out from her sleeves, and wrapped Qin Zichen within them with lightning speed.


    Before he could even react, he had already equipped himself with more than ten hidden weapons. He fell to the ground and vomited blood, and the Spiritual Strength around him had all disappeared.


    In that instant, he felt as if his bones were about to be peeled off. It was a type of indescribable feeling.


    Just now, what kind of Spiritual Skill did that girl, Su Xiruo, use? That kind of attack, was so fast that it simply didn''t seem like a Heavenly Spirit Master anymore!


    "Do you still want to fight? If not, let''s fight to the next one!" Su Xiruo stood on the stage, and said to Qin Zichen condescendingly.


    He was lucky today, as he only managed to practice the Cherry Blossom Needle technique a little. If he could master it himself, Qin Zichen would probably be crippled!


    Qin Zichen curled his fingers tightly, wanting to crawl up again, but he simply couldn''t use any strength. He could only lower his head and admit defeat.


    "Damn it, how could this be!" Gu Wanyun was so angry that he stomped his feet.


    Just what kind of abnormal strength did Su Xiruo possess? Even six star Heavenly Spirit Master was not her opponent!


    "Hehe, Gu Wanyun, I''m sorry, but we have split the 1000 gold!" The happiest ones were Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo. With just this one bet, they had earned so much money!


    Gu Wanyun was furious, he jumped onto the stage and fiercely said to Qin Zichen: "Really useless, get lost!"


    Qin Zichen could only limp down the stage, feeling humiliated by the crowd, he felt that he had lost a lot of face.


    "Even Qin Zichen is not my opponent. In my opinion, you should just kowtow in front of me and admit defeat. This will also save me from having to fight again." Su Xiruo looked at Gu Wanyun and did not put him in his eyes at all.


    "Don''t say that too early. Today, I will make you concede defeat in my hands!" Gu Wanyun snorted, as though he was filled with confidence.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo became suspicious, and felt that there was something wrong with this Gu Wanyun.


    If she wasn''t stupid, she definitely had the confidence to deal with him. It seemed that he needed to be extra careful!


    "Bring it on!" Gu Wanyun could not wait any longer, he extended his sword and rushed towards Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo dodged gracefully, and in that instant of confrontation, he could feel that Gu Wanyun''s strength seemed to be much thicker than that of the other day when compared to the Trial, and it did not seem to be at all like a five star Heavenly Spirit Master.


    Could she have leveled up? But, why did she feel that Gu Wanyun''s strength seemed to be much stronger than the Qin Zichen just now, could it be that she jumped two levels in a row?


    Following that, Gu Wanyun kept attacking. One move after another, giving Su Xiruo no chance to catch his breath.

 C76

    "Brilliant, Xiruo seems to be unable to resist it any longer. That woman Gu Wanyun, how did she become so much stronger all of a sudden?" Mu Lingxi stared at the situation on the stage and could not help but break out in a cold sweat.


    If this continued, Xi Ruo probably wouldn''t be able to win against Gu Wanyun.


    "I don''t know." Ye Zhuozhuo shook his head, as if he had noticed something, "I keep having the feeling that something is wrong with Gu Wanyun''s condition, as if he had taken some kind of pill!"


    In the battle on the stage, there was an obvious gap. The spectators all bet on Gu Wanyun''s side, probably thinking that Su Xiruo definitely would not win this time.


    Suddenly, the Can Meng in Su Xiruo''s hand was sent flying by Gu Wanyun''s sword, she retreated a few steps, and was a little powerless.


    No, Gu Wanyun''s condition isn''t right, she must have consumed some medicine that temporarily raised her strength, which caused her strength to soar!


    However, even if she exposed this matter now, no one would believe her. Everyone only saw the result, so she couldn''t lose no matter what!


    "Su Xiruo, admit defeat obediently!" Gu Wanyun looked down at her from above, his eyes full of satisfaction.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, and a suction force came from his palm. He picked up the Can Meng and coldly said: "Continue!"


    "If you refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit, then I shall let you know your loss!" Gu Wanyun snorted coldly, he continued his attack, and this time, he increased his attack.


    Su Xiruo calmed her down and carefully observed Gu Wanyun''s movements, continuously defending. Finally, she saw an obvious flaw on Gu Wanyun''s right shoulder!


    If he did not make a move now, he would lose for sure!


    Therefore, the Spiritual Strength in Su Xiruo''s palm crazily condensed. At the same time, Gu Wanyun also unleashed his Spiritual Skill.


    At this time, if Su Xiruo were to choose to attack Gu Wanyun''s weakness, it would be equivalent to exposing his weakness to Gu Wanyun.


    The Can Meng''s blade was extremely fast, and it pierced into Gu Wanyun''s abdomen. That Spiritual Strength released a huge wave and knocked Gu Wanyun''s body out of the arena and landed him off the stage.


    As for Su Xiruo, he was also hit by Gu Wanyun''s Spiritual Skill, his body became as light as a piece of paper and flew away.


    Her inner thoughts told her that she could not lose, no matter what she could not lose. She desperately grabbed onto the railing by the high platform to prevent herself from falling down. Listening to the cheers from below, she lost consciousness in the next second.


    When he opened his eyes with great difficulty, it was as if his entire body had broken apart. When Su Xiruo woke up, the first person he saw on the bed was Helian Yunqian.


    "Yun Qian ¡­" Su Xiruo wanted to stand up, but a sharp pain came from the wound on his abdomen.


    "Lie still and don''t get up." Helian Yunqian immediately and gently warned, "You have internal injuries, so it will take a few days to recover."


    "I... Did you win? " Su Xiruo grabbed her sleeves, as if he was more concerned about this problem.


    The moment this matter was brought up, a hint of gloominess appeared in Helian Yunqian''s originally worried eyes. "Naturally, I won."


    Moreover, he won when both sides were not equal. This debt, he had to settle it with Gu Wanyun!


    Anyone who dared to use such a method to harm him was courting death!


    Hearing this, she let out a small sigh of relief, as if the big stone in her heart had been put down all of a sudden.


    He should have won a lot of gold coins from this battle!


    "Xiruo, in order to defeat her, you don''t even want your life anymore?" Helian Yunqian frowned slightly, as if he was worried that she would go and do something stupid, "From today onwards, I will follow you closely. I cannot do such a dangerous thing ever again!"


    "I thought Gu Wanyun wasn''t a match for me, but today, something isn''t right. I feel like she ate some sort of medicine!" Su Xiruo voiced out the doubt in his heart.


    Helian Yunqian did not continue her sentence, but changed the topic: "Regarding this matter, you do not need to worry about it anymore, rest well, I still have some matters to attend to, and will be back later."


    With that, he took out the Healing Drug that he had just obtained from the Dean Lei: "Swallow this Healing Drug."


    "Sixth Rank elixir!" As a Poison Master, Su Xiruo naturally recognized the rarity of this spirit medicine in a single glance, and didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "How come the moment you casually make a move, it''s something others beg for?"


    Now, she was truly beginning to be curious, just what kind of identity did Yun Qian have, why did he suddenly produce such a large pile of High Ranked items, and why did those people on Mercenary Academy also become so respectful when they saw him.


    Furthermore, it was a spirit beast body. This information was simply too inconceivable!


    Helian Yunqian smiled and fed the Healing Drug to her. At that moment, Su Xiruo felt that his internal injury had healed by more than half.


    Originally, it should have taken at least a month to completely recover from his internal injuries. However, after consuming the Sixth Rank and spirit medicine, he was actually able to recover so quickly.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to tell you some things, but just give me some time. When the time is right, I will tell you everything." Helian Yunqian seemed to have seen through some of her doubts, and spoke sincerely.


    Although Su Xiruo really wanted to know his identity, since he did not say it, then there must be some difficulties involved, so she did not pursue the matter: "When you want to say it, tell me."


    No matter who he is,


    "Alright, you rest first." Helian Yunqian said indifferently, then hurriedly left.


    At this time, Liu Sheng was waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing his master come out, he hurried over to welcome him: "Master, is Miss Su awake?"


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian''s eyes that were previously gentle, now only remained cold and detached.


    Every time he saw Master giving him such a look, Liu Sheng knew that something terrifying was going to happen.


    That Gu Wanyun is really something, it''s not good to offend anyone, I should never, I must not, I must offend the Miss Su!


    If the berserker wife, Master, were to be angered, she could already imagine Gu Wanyun''s miserable fate!


    "Are we going to go to Divine Ranked Class Two now?" Thus, Liu Sheng carefully asked him.


    "Go!"


    The residence of the Divine Ranked Class Two was the Plum Courtyard which was close to the Heavenly Ranked Class Three.


    In the center of the courtyard, Gu Wanyun was kneeling on the ground with a haggard face as he received the rebuke of his teacher, Murong Li.


    "Wanyun, it''s not good if you offend someone, but you must offend someone with Heavenly Ranked Class Three." Murong Li let out a faint sigh. He felt that this was definitely trouble, "You dare to take the medicine?! If Helian Yunqian finds you here, I won''t be able to protect you!"


    "Teacher, I was just trying to win your favor. I was forced to use such a method." Gu Wanyun lowered his head, and admitted his wrongs with a very good attitude, "Moreover, I already know that I was wrong, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"


    "That''s right, teacher. I feel that Wanyun is muddleheaded because he wants to fight for our Divine Ranked Class Two as well." Gu Jingrou immediately spoke up for her sister, "But medicine is a taboo in the academy. If word of this gets out, Wanyun''s dignity will go down the drain, you have a lot of face!"


    Gu Jingrou''s intentions were simple. He had to keep the matter of Gu Wanyun using the medicine as a secret. No matter what, he could not spread the news, otherwise, he would embarrass the entire Divine Ranked Class Two.


    Murong Li helplessly shook his head: "It''s useless for you to tell me about this. Now let''s see, whether Helian Yunqian takes her student seriously or not. You guys better pray that he doesn''t take you seriously!"


    With Helian Yunqian''s personality in the past, he wouldn''t bother about such trivial matters.


    As long as the matter of using the spirit medicine was not exposed, this matter, at the very most, would suffice. Her student had injured Helian Yunqian''s student, and that could only be because Su Xiruo''s strength was lacking, she, Helian Yunqian, had nothing to say.


    At this time, Su Biyue, who was cleaning outside the courtyard, saw Helian Yunqian bringing Liu Sheng in with a cold face. Without saying a word, the surrounding cold aura was enough to kill.


    Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in Su Biyue''s heart, and he hurriedly went forward to take the initiative to speak with her. "Master Helian, what business do you have to pay me a visit at this time?"


    Helian Yunqian acted as if he did not hear it, and started to become anxious. He quickly ran into the inner hall and took the initiative to report to Murong Li: "Teacher, Master Helian is here!"

 C77

    Ah!" These words struck Murong Li like a thunderbolt.


    It seemed that even if he tried to hide, he wouldn''t be able to!


    Gu Wanyun turned his head around in panic. When he saw Helian Yunqian''s cold eyes, he shuddered and fell to the ground, "Master Helian!"


    Before she could say anything, Helian Yunqian raised his hand and sucked her into his body.


    Immediately, the surrounding people were all shocked, but no one dared to go forward to stop them. After all, no one dared to go against the Master Helian!


    In the next second, Gu Wanyun felt a big hand imprisoning his throat, making him unable to breathe. "Cough cough, Helian ¡­ "My Lord!"


    Helian Yunqian frowned, she did not want to touch even an inch of her skin, so she just threw Gu Wanyun out like she was throwing trash. She coughed severely, and spat out a pill from her mouth.


    Seeing the situation, Murong Li immediately rushed forward and saluted respectfully: "Master Helian, Wanyun is really not sensible, and did not know the seriousness of the situation, which is why she accidentally hurt your student. I have already taught her a lesson, I hope that you, my master, will not remember this lowly person, and forgive Wanyun this time!"


    "Ignorant?" "I seem to remember that Gu Wanyun was defeated by my student, why do I need to show mercy to my student in the short period of a few days?"


    Murong Li lowered his head. For a moment, he didn''t know how to answer this question.


    Looks like Master Helian knew about Wanyun using Spirit Medicines, moreover, he seemed to care about it a lot.


    In the academy, he had never seen Helian Yunqian before, but from his impression of him, he knew that Helian Yunqian was always calm when it came to everything. This was the first time Helian Yunqian had seen him lose his temper like this.


    Moreover, it was for a female student!


    "Master Helian, what do you mean by that?" Murong Li was still hoping to get lucky and started to act like a fool.


    Helian Yunqian knew that this old fellow would do this, so he casually looked at a female Poison Master student and ordered, "You, go and pick that elixir over."


    His voice wasn''t loud, but it was powerful enough to intimidate others.


    The female student was startled. Facing Helian Yunqian, she was simply at a loss of what to do. She did not know what was going through her mind and dared only to do as she said.


    She walked forward and picked up the spiritual medicine Gu Wanyun spat out. With her Poison Master''s sharp senses, she knew immediately that this was a medicine that could temporarily strengthen the Spiritual Strength.


    It''s over, now, Senior Sister Wanyun had been caught by the Master Helian in a solid strike, no matter how much of a quibble he made, it was useless.


    At this time, she wanted nothing more than to secretly destroy this evidence, but due to Master Helian''s oppressing aura, she could only take it back, "Master Helian ¡­. The spiritual medicine is here! "


    Helian Yunqian glanced at her coldly, then said: "Go and show it to your teacher!"


    Murong Li had stayed in the Mercenary Academy for more than twenty years, and had brought an uncountable number of students with him. Now, not only was he a five star Spirit Monarch expert, he was also a high level doctor of the Profound Rank.


    The female student trembled as she held the spiritual medicine in front of Murong Li. Even she didn''t dare to speak loudly. "Teacher ¡­"


    Murong Li looked at the spirit medicine and knew everything. However, he still pretended to be surprised and reprimanded Gu Wanyun: "Wanyun, you really disappoint me, to actually use such a despicable method to obtain victory, it''s truly disgraceful!"


    Gu Wanyun laid on the ground, completely losing all face. "Teacher, Master Helian, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please, please don''t chase me out of the Academy, please don''t kick me out of the Academy!"


    Finished, Gu Wanyun kowtowed continuously in front of Helian Yunqian, begging for his forgiveness.


    "Murong Li." Helian Yunqian did not bother with her, and started to ask about Murong Li first, "You''ve been in the Academy for so many years, and you know about things like that, and how you should handle it better than I do, right?"


    His voice was light, but it was oppressing.


    Murong Li helplessly shook his head and knelt down as well. His attitude was still extremely sincere: "Master Helian, it''s because this old man failed to teach properly, and this matter, this old man has a great responsibility. This old man is willing to accept the punishment in Wanyun''s stead!"


    According to the Mercenary Academy''s rules, if one used spirit medicine on this occasion without authorization, it was a scam, and it was not a martial arts victory. This sort of shameful matter, was to be removed from the Divine Ranked Class, and be demoted to Heavenly Ranked Class or Profound Rank class!


    "You would rather throw him away than give up on Gu Wanyun, the student?" Helian Yunqian looked down at Murong Li with a condescending gaze, his tone extremely cold and without any room for discussion.


    "Teacher, please, save me." Gu Wanyun immediately cried and begged, "I don''t want to leave the Divine Ranked Class, I really don''t want to leave the Divine Ranked Class!"


    If she left the Divine Ranked Class, it would also mean that she would lose a large amount of resources. If this matter were to spread, it would greatly affect her face.


    Murong Li let out a faint sigh. He was also unwilling to let Gu Wanyun leave the Divine Ranked Class like this, so he spoke with complete sincerity, "Master Helian, you can punish Wanyun however you want. You just need to let her stay in the Divine Ranked Class."


    The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth raised slightly as she gave a noncommittal smile, "Murong Li, you''re an old man of the academy. You should be clearer than anyone else about the rules of the academy.


    Then, he continued: "Don''t be in such a hurry, you can''t get rid of the responsibility regarding this matter. Since you care so deeply about your student, then please take her place in Heavenly Ranked Class!"


    "Huh?" Helian Yunqian''s decision shocked all the students present. They thought they had misheard.


    Helian Yunqian did not punish Gu Wanyun to go to the Heavenly Ranked Class, but instead transferred Murong Li to the Heavenly Ranked Class.


    "Master Helian, teacher is innocent." Gu Wanyun immediately pleaded for mercy on behalf of his teacher, "Please punish me, just let me go to the Heavenly Ranked Class, I have no objections!"


    Between the primary class, there would be a chance for her to level up once every two months. After all, with Gu Wanyun''s strength, with her strength, she would be able to quickly return to the Divine Ranked Class.


    At that time, not only would it not cause any controversy, it would also attract more people''s attention. It would make people feel that Gu Wanyun relied on his own true strength to enter the Divine Ranked Class again.


    Therefore, to Gu Wanyun, this was not considered a loss at all, and would not affect him in any way.


    How could Helian Yunqian not understand her thoughts? "Are you questioning my decision?"


    Gu Wanyun immediately shook his head, denying it: "No, I don''t dare!"


    Murong Li had a helpless look on his face: "Master Helian, this old man will go to Heavenly Ranked Class, actually it''s nothing much. It''s just that this old man still doesn''t feel at ease with regards to Divine Ranked Class Two ¡­"


    "Then you don''t have to worry, in the future, Liang Si and I will take care of this Divine Ranked Class Two." Helian Yunqian already had a plan in his mind.


    Hearing that, Gu Wanyun instantly collapsed onto the ground.


    It''s over, it''s all over. That is to say, after Teacher Murong left, I will fall into the hands of the Master Helian.


    "..." "Yes." After hesitating for a while, even if he was unwilling, Murong Li could only agree. After that, he was brought down the stairs by Liu Sheng.


    At this time, Helian Yunqian''s gaze fell upon Gu Wanyun''s body. Although it seemed like a careless gaze, it faintly carried many sharp glints, and was terrifyingly severe.


    "Faced with the wall for half a month, Gu Wanyun is not allowed to participate in any missions." He spoke indifferently, probably thinking that this punishment was easy enough.


    However, Gu Wanyun was not happy at all. In his Divine Ranked Class, he could obtain a lot of rewards and resources whenever he completed a mission.


    But this time, he had lost two of his big missions for no reason, so he was naturally unhappy. "Master Helian ¡­"

 C78

    "If you say any more, it won''t be as simple as facing the wall." Helian Yunqian interrupted her words coldly.


    Gu Wanyun was so angry that he almost couldn''t speak. The forbidden grounds on the wall didn''t have a single leaf of grass left, it was completely lifeless, and even if he had to kneel in that gloomy environment for half a month, he still couldn''t cultivate.


    However, Master Helian did not kick her out of the Divine Ranked Class, which was already the end of the story. She could only thank him immediately: "Thank you, Master Helian!"


    She remembered, for her to receive such a punishment today, it was all because of Su Xiruo. She had to make Su Xiruo suffer!


    After exiting the Plum Court, Liu Sheng couldn''t help but ask curiously, "Master, why didn''t you just drive Gu Wanyun out of the Divine Ranked Class?"


    "It ended like this, it''s too easy on her." The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth slightly rose, "And I think that if Xi Yue also wants to play with Gu Wanyun a few more rounds, I won''t spoil the fun."


    If Xi Ruo had personally taken care of Gu Wanyun, that would be what she would want to see the most.


    Liu Sheng nodded as if he understood something, and quickly followed his master.


    In the room, Su Xiruo was seated cross-legged on his bed, using the Spiritual Strength to treat his internal injuries. Suddenly, a small bird flew out from his sleeves, transformed into a human and appeared in front of her.


    Su Xiruo opened his eyes and saw Mu Jin squatting in front of her with a cup of tea and said: "Master, drink some water."


    "Why did a Real Body appear again?" Su Xiruo looked around to confirm that there was no one around him before he continued, "Didn''t I tell you not to come out at will in this academy?"


    If they were to be recognized, they would probably suffer.


    "I saw that you were injured, so I came out to treat you." Mu Jin did not think too much, he had long wanted to appear and talk to his master, it was a pity that he didn''t have that chance recently.


    Recently, Master had been busy every day, and he had not been allowed to show himself. But now, Master had been injured, and he could no longer hold himself back.


    "I''m fine, I don''t need you to treat my wounds." Su Xiruo''s voice was very soft, "As long as you protect yourself well and do not let anyone discover you, then that''s good. The people here, they all want to hurt you!"


    From what she knew, Humans and water and fire were opposites. The war between Humans and water had never stopped over the years, as if humans were born to hunt spirit beasts and spirit beasts were born to harm humans.


    Of course, this was also an exceptional case, but such an example could almost be described as extremely rare.


    "I''m not afraid of them!" However, Mu Jin showed no fear as he gently held onto Su Xiruo''s slender little hand. The gentle Spiritual Strength passed into her body from his fingertips.


    Su Xiruo closed his eyes. He seemed to be able to feel that his internal injuries were slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. He couldn''t help but feel somewhat astonished in his heart.


    What kind of special ability did this Mu Jin have? His Spiritual Strength could actually treat injuries.


    "Mistress, do you feel any better now?" Mu Jin patiently asked her.


    "Yes, it''s almost done." The spirit medicine Yun Qian had given him, combined with Mu Jin''s Spiritual Strength, allowed Su Xiruo to feel that his own internal injuries had almost completely recovered!


    "Mistress, there''s something I want to discuss with you." Mu Jin looked at her pleadingly.


    "Tell me, what is it?"


    Mu Jin then took the opportunity to speak: "Next time, when someone wants to hurt you again, get me to come out and help you. Or else, seeing you being bullied, I feel anxious, and can''t really help you anymore!"


    Su Xiruo understood his intentions, but she did not dare to casually agree to something like that: "Mu Jin, I know you are worried about me, but sometimes the situation is special. If you come out, it will definitely bring you more danger."


    Seeing that Mu Jin was slightly unhappy, she continued: "How about this, next time, if I am to stop you, you do not have to appear, if I am not able to stop you, you can appear!"


    There were too many people in this academy who were able to see through the beads of wisdom. She was truly worried about the danger Mu Jin would face if her identity as a Spirit Beast were to be exposed one day.


    With Master''s permission, Mu Jin naturally became happy and repeatedly nodded in agreement, "Mn, Master, I will listen to you."


    After Su Xiruo''s injuries had fully healed, he continued to enter and leave the academy with all kinds of Auction House and Duel Yard. Helian Yunqian, on the other hand, could be considered to have "kept his word." No matter where he went, he would always follow his wife.


    Although Helian Yunqian was one of the higher ups in the academy, there were not many people who had actually met him. Therefore, most people treated him as a student, and did not attract too much attention.


    In the forbidden Mercenary Academy area.


    The word ''wasteland'' seemed more appropriate to describe this place. Not a single blade of grass could be seen, and not even a single strand of aura of death could be detected.


    Gu Jingrou brought some food, and just as he was about to enter the forbidden grounds, he was stopped by the guards.


    "Senior Sister Gu, you can''t go in!"


    Gu Jingrou coldly glanced at them, his tone still considered kind. "I am here to visit my sister on my teacher''s orders."


    With that, she took out a medallion. The two guards looked and knew that this was Murong Li''s keepsake and immediately retreated, "Senior Sister Gu, you have to hurry up!"


    One had to know that the person was locked up in Master Helian. If he knew that there was someone who could look around casually, he would probably go into a rage.


    "I will come out as soon as possible!" Gu Jingrou casually replied as he quickly entered the forbidden grounds.


    This forbidden area was completely made of dead wood. The moment his feet touched the ground, he could even step on a viper or other living creature, but there was no signs of human life.


    Using his courage, Gu Jingrou slowly stepped in, only to see Gu Wanyun trapped in a halo, both of his legs shackled, his face covered with dust, he did not have the usual look of a young miss.


    "Wanyun." Seeing her sister in such a miserable state, Gu Jingrou felt so uncomfortable in his heart.


    Gu Wanyun raised his head and saw his elder sister. It was as if he had seen some hope, "Elder sister, why have you come? Is the Master Helian willing to let me out in advance? "


    Gu Jingrou let out a small sigh: "No, I came to see you in secret. Wanyun, you''ve suffered a lot these past few days."


    "It doesn''t matter if I suffer a little. It''s just that in three days, you''ll all have to leave the academy to start your first mission. But I still have ten days left in my forbidden zone, so I can''t help you. I''m really worried in my heart!" Gu Wanyun looked pitiful.


    "Wanyun, Master Helian has personally given the order, I have no other choice." "Now that Teacher Murong Li has left, our Divine Ranked Class Two has always been under the control of Liang Si and the Master Helian. We don''t know how sad our days are, and we don''t have any authority to speak.


    Gu Wanyun curled his fingers tightly, feeling uneasy. "But, you guys are missing one person, I''m afraid ¡­"


    "That''s all we can do now." Gu Jingrou told her about his thoughts, "I''m afraid that it will take us about a month to complete our two Profound Rank missions. So, after you remove the restrictions on your legs, you can come back and reunite with us!"


    After all, compared to escorting the medicinal ingredients, the most important mission was to hunt the spirit beasts, and Gu Wanyun was definitely able to make it for the second mission.


    "Mn, I will definitely make peace with all of you in time. I will make Su Xiruo pay the price!" Gu Wanyun''s eyes were full of viciousness and unwillingness.


    When she goes out, he must use the most vicious method to take revenge on Su Xiruo, and let her know that the pain she was going to suffer here, will be repaid a hundred times, a thousand times more!


    Gu Jingrou nodded his head slightly. In his heart, he had probably felt a little more hatred towards Su Xiruo: "Wanyun, you just stay here and wait. As for Su Xiruo, this sister will think of a way to teach her a lesson in your place!"


    Gu Jingrou had always cared about her reputation, as a top student of Divine Ranked Class, she had always been the goddess among the lower level students. Now that her sister had been bullied, she naturally could not just stand by and watch, and not let others think that her Rose Mercenary Group was a target for bullying!

    Duel Yard.


    Helian Yunqian stood in an inconspicuous corner below the stage, and looked at the young girl who was in high spirits. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a bit of gratification.


    This little girl''s talent was indeed outstanding. In just a short span of seven days, she was able to accurately execute the Sakura Thrust. When he first learnt the Spiritual Skill, he also spent nearly ten days before he started to familiarize himself.


    "Master, this Miss Su is a bit too formidable today, he has already won ten matches in a row." Liu Sheng, who was at the side, could not help but praise, "If we win this round, we should be able to win a lot of gold coins!"


    Helian Yunqian nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say that it was her, so of course she would be powerful.


    At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo hurriedly ran in from outside the Duel Yard. His slightly trembling hands grabbed onto the corner of Helian Yunqian''s clothes: "Brother, it''s bad!"


    Mu Lingxi also closely followed, standing in place without saying a word, and the atmosphere seemed especially heavy.


    Helian Yunqian turned his head and saw that Ye Zhuozhuo''s eyes were red, he could not help but tremble, and anxiously asked: "What happened?"


    "Father had an accident at the border." As Ye Zhuozhuo said this, he couldn''t stop his tears from rolling down.


    These words were like a thunderbolt that struck Helian Yunqian''s heart.


    Ye Chengxuan, who was also Ye Zhuozhuo''s father, might not have been Helian Yunqian''s biological father, but he had saved his life and brought him up. To him, this could be considered as a heavy debt.


    Helian Yunqian took care of all of Ye Chengxuan''s matters in the capital while Ye Chengxuan stayed at the borders to guard them. Because the borders were very peaceful and the scenery was nice, Ye Chengxuan had stayed at the borders for more than a year, so he was basically under no pressure and could even enter the "old age" state ahead of time.


    Who would have thought that after more than ten years of peace at the border, there would suddenly be an uproar? This kind of news was quite unbelievable.


    "Brilliant, don''t worry. Tell me what happened slowly." Although Helian Yunqian was also very worried, he was the first to speak and comfort his little sister.


    Ye Zhuozhuo nodded his head, "I heard that recently, the borders would often have fierce and ruthless spirit beasts roaming about, and every time they attacked the barracks, there would be no warning. In order to protect the camp, Father was heavily injured by the spirit beasts, and right now, the borders are in chaos.


    "There must be a reason behind this." Helian Yunqian slightly frowned, he knew that this matter was definitely not simple.


    "What should we do now?" "Father is severely injured, and at the moment, he is just a group of dragons without a leader. If those Vicious Beasts were to come again, with father''s character, I''m afraid that even if he risked his life, he would still protect the camp!" The more Ye Zhuozhuo thought about it, the more worried he became.


    "Shining, don''t worry." Helian Yunqian hurriedly comforted her, "How about this, I will bring you to the border trials now and settle the things there."


    "Alright." Ye Zhuozhuo immediately agreed.


    "What about me?" Mu Lingxi could not wait and asked, "The Royal Brother is gone too, I am worried, let me go too."


    Helian Yunqian''s gaze landed on the girl on the stage. "Mn, Liu Sheng, you stay behind and explain it to Xi Ruo. Don''t let her come to the border alone.


    This matter could not be delayed, he could only speak a little more with Liu Sheng, before leaving with Mu Lingxi.


    Liu Sheng stood in place, and was at a loss of what to do. What should I say? "


    Suddenly, a small hand patted his shoulder, and Su Xiruo''s voice came from behind: "Liu Sheng, what are you muttering to yourself about?"


    Liu Sheng turned his head and for a moment, he did not know how to explain, "Miss Su, I ¡­"


    "Where''s Yun Qian? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Su Xiruo looked around, but he did not see any trace of Helian Yunqian at all. He only felt that it was a little strange.


    He was the one who had said that he would follow her every step of the way, so why was it that when he turned around, she was already gone?


    "Miss Su, Mistress, Shining Mistress and Prince have just rushed to the Dragon Seal Empire Entrance." Liu Sheng did not hide anything.


    "Did something happen at the border?" Su Xiruo''s expression changed as he roughly guessed what was going on.


    Liu Sheng bit his lower lip: "It''s Old General Ye."


    "What happened to General Ye?" Su Xiruo was unable to calm down and asked anxiously.


    "In the past few days, Dragon Seal Empire have not been peaceful at the borders. A few fierce spirit beasts would often appear and hurt Old General Ye." Liu Sheng then explained the whole situation to her.


    After Su Xiruo finished listening, he let out a small sigh, "For such a huge matter, why didn''t you just call me? I have to go to the border pass! "


    "Miss Su, don''t!" Liu Sheng immediately spoke up to stop her, "Master has already instructed me, you are not allowed to go to the border trials alone, so don''t make things difficult for me. The border trials are extremely dangerous, if you go, it might bring you trouble instead!"


    "Furthermore, Master said that he will be back within a day. Miss Su, you should stay for now." Liu Sheng said a lot of persuasive words, afraid that she would be unhappy.


    Being stuck in the middle like this, it was really hard to be a person!


    Hearing that, Su Xiruo had the thought of giving up, nevermind, he was worried for nothing, if Yun Qian''s strength was insufficient, then he would have to go!


    Since Yun Qian had said that he would be back within a day, then he must be confident in his own abilities. Thus, he decided to wait patiently for a day.


    "Alright, then I''ll be waiting for them to come back." Su Xiruo prayed in his heart, praying for them to return safely.


    The Dragon Seal Empire gate was surrounded by an impenetrable forest. The grass and trees were lush, and the environment was comfortable. This used to be a precious land of feng shui, but now, it was filled with an unexpected repressive atmosphere.


    The army camp was everywhere, and they were all well-prepared, as they casually blocked the Vicious Beasts''s assault. Even though they knew that they were just a insignificant weakling in the hands of those Vicious Beasts!


    "There''s movement!" One of the guards seemed to have sensed something and his voice trembled.


    "The Vicious Beasts is coming again!"


    A burst of panicked voices spread. Following that, the soldiers saw their comrades falling down one by one in front of them, their faces and bodies covered in the sinister bloody marks left behind by the Vicious Beasts!


    Panic, uneasiness, came one after another. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight back.


    Over a hundred Vicious Beasts s attacked him head-on, their blood-red eyes were filled with killing intent and coldness. Shouts could be heard incessantly, and in an instant, a large amount of injuries and deaths occurred.


    Mu Lingyi, who was standing in the tent, looked at the tragedy happening outside, and became restless. He took out his sword and could no longer sit still: "We will go and kill them ourselves!"


    "Your majesty, calm down!" One of the guards tried to dissuade her, "It''s too dangerous outside. With your priceless body, you must not go out!"


    "Get out of the way, we''re all going to die here, who cares about that golden body!" Mu Lingyi obviously could not stay still, he pushed aside the guards and rushed out, his sword stabbing into the Vicious Beasts''s body, cutting down a few of them.


    Mu Lingyi''s killing intent grew, but, with the Vicious Beasts surrounding him growing larger, he became more and more powerless, and in the end, was forced into a corner by the five Vicious Beasts, leaving him with no path to retreat.


    Mu Lingyi''s fingers tightened, he knew that he was doomed this time. Seeing the sharp claws attack towards Mu Lingyi, he prepared to fight to the death. He closed his eyes, and in the next second, he heard the roars of the Vicious Beasts.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Vicious Beasts around him was lying on the ground. Helian Yunqian was dressed in white, with a green blade in his hand.


    "This subject came late to save Your Majesty''s life. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."


    "General Helian, you''re finally here!" Mu Lingyi crawled up from the ground, feeling as if his legs had gone soft.


    It was a good thing that this guy came in time. Otherwise, he would have turned into a pool of blood.


    Helian Yunqian raised his hand and set up a Barrier around Mu Lingyi''s body, then warned: "Your majesty, stay where you are, leave the rest for this humble subject to handle!"

 C80

    Mu Lingyi stood at his original position, only to see Helian Yunqian flying forward to kill the Vicious Beasts, his hand raised and his blade down, killing decisively.


    In his hands, these vicious beasts were as simple as cutting vegetables. Each of them was as easy as cutting vegetables.


    As for the soldiers, when they saw General Helian take action, their morale was high, as if they had seen a god. It was as if as long as General Helian was here, they did not have to be afraid of anything.


    Before Mu Lingyi could react, Helian Yunqian had already taken care of all the Vicious Beasts around Mu Lingyi. He undid the Barrier around Mu Lingyi''s body and said, "Your majesty, don''t worry.


    Mu Lingyi heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had lifted an alarm, and immediately felt at ease.


    "Men, escort the Emperor to rest first." Helian Yunqian instructed the soldiers to settle the little emperor down and quickly went to check on General Ye''s injuries.


    Who would have thought that Mu Lingyi was still a little dissatisfied: "General Helian, I haven''t seen you around recently, if you had appeared earlier, this hurdle would have been reduced by a lot. Come to think of it, this could be considered as you neglecting your duty!"


    Normally, Mu Lingyi would never dare to contradict even half a sentence of Helian Yunqian''s, but today, he had suffered such a huge loss at the border.


    Helian Yunqian did not get angry, as the loss of the border trial was definitely related to him, "Your majesty said that when the border trial is more peaceful, this subject will naturally accept the punishment. Men, send your majesty to rest first!"


    After giving his orders, he turned around and left.


    "Helian Yunqian!" Mu Lingyi shouted at his back, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart, "Heh, good, what we said to you was no different than wind passing by. Now, you are also becoming more and more arrogant!"


    "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" "General Helian has just arrived at the border, and has many matters to take care of, so I am too busy to take care of what you have to say. Furthermore, General Helian will save you in time, so consider this atonement!"


    "Why did even you speak up for him?" Mu Lingyi was about to explode from his anger, "From what I see, Helian Yunqian has always looked down on others.


    That was why he did not dare to offend them. But today, Helian Yunqian had more and more military power in his hands, so Mu Lingyi''s heart of suspicion and suspicion towards him was becoming more and more obvious.


    He kept having the feeling that Helian Yunqian''s attitude was getting more and more arrogant, as if he was planning on usurping power at any time. However, he had no choice but to rely on them, so most of the time, he wasn''t able to do anything.


    "The emperor is too serious!" The ministers didn''t dare to say too much. After all, they couldn''t speak carelessly about such matters. "Why don''t you go rest first, your majesty?"


    "Humph!" Mu Lingyi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.


    In another tent, Ye Chengxuan was weakly lying on the bed. At this moment, his arms and legs were injured, and he could no longer enter the battlefield.


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi hurriedly rushed in, and seeing that their father had such a serious injury, Ye Zhuozhuo immediately cried like rain: "Father!"


    Ye Chengxuan turned around and saw Ye Zhuozhuo. With a face full of worry, he said, "Brilliant, why are you here? This place is dangerous, Your Royal Highness. Quickly bring the burning flames and leave this place! "


    "General Ye, don''t worry, we brought reinforcements." Mu Lingxi immediately said, "Yun Qian is dealing with Vicious Beasts outside. With his strength, he won''t be in any danger!"


    Yun Qian also came? All of you actually came. " Hearing up to here, Ye Chengxuan was both excited and worried. "This border trial is no longer the border trial of the past, and there''s danger everywhere now. You guys ¡­ "It''s better if we go back quickly!"


    "No, I''m not leaving! Father, I''m going to stay and face all of this with you. Don''t drive me away! " Ye Zhuozhuo shook his head, he did not have the slightest intention to leave.


    Ye Chengxuan let out a small sigh: "Scorching, you listen to me obediently. Father heard that you''ve already achieved your wish and entered the Mercenary Academy, you can''t possibly give up on your own matters just because of Father!"


    "But, only by staying by your side can I feel at ease!" Ye Zhuozhuo laid on the bedside, her tone slightly coquettish.


    Ye Chengxuan laughed helplessly, and asked: What about Yun Qian? Can he really handle so many Vicious Beasts by himself? "


    Although Yun Qian was his adopted son and was not related to him in any way, he had long since treated Yun Qian as his own son. He treated Yun Qian as his own son and he treated him as the same person, there was no room for favouritism.


    "Father, I''m fine." At this time, Helian Yunqian''s indifferent voice came out.


    He hurriedly entered the tent and knelt beside the bed, "Your son neglected his duty and only caused father''s injury. From today onwards, your son will guard the border day and night. Until this matter is resolved, he will not let this matter rest!"


    "Yun Qian, quickly get up!" Ye Chengxuan even wanted to stand up and help him up, "This has nothing to do with you, you shouldn''t be at fault!"


    Only then did Helian Yunqian slowly stand up, and he said: "Brother, you can''t be blamed for this, how about this, you guys leave first, I''ll treat father''s injuries!"


    Before they could say anything, a voice transmitted from outside, "The emperor has arrived!"


    Mu Lingyi followed the court officials from left and right, walking in arrogantly.


    "Your majesty, forgive this old subject for not being able to stand up and pay my respects." Ye Chengxuan was rather polite.


    Mu Lingyi laughed: General Ye does not need to be so courteous, I know that you are loyal, but the ability to guard the borders seems to be lacking a little. It''s not even a year, and something like this has actually happened.


    "Your majesty." Helian Yunqian interrupted him, "This subject''s father has never neglected this border trial''s jurisdiction, this incident was purely an accident, it has nothing to do with father, if you want to blame something, you can only blame this subject for neglecting his duty, if the emperor wants to punish him, come and serve this subject!"


    When Mu Lingxi heard his arrogant tone, she became especially angry and taunted: "General Helian, do you really think you''re a god? Do you think that you can solve anything? "Let me tell you, if it wasn''t for you being arrogant and neglecting the supervision of the borders, more than a thousand warriors wouldn''t have been killed or injured in the borders this time around!"


    "Royal Brother." At this time, Mu Lingxi could no longer listen, "You should know that General Helian has been busy with matters of the Mercenary Academy lately, and might have neglected some things. After all, the borders have been peaceful for more than ten years.


    This Royal Brother of his had only one weakness, and that was his suspicion. He reckoned that Helian Yunqian had neglected his duties and did not care about the safety at the border.


    Finishing speaking, she did not forget to give Helian Yunqian a meaningful look, telling him to treat the Royal Brother a little more sincerely.


    "This official is willing to be punished." Who would have known that Helian Yunqian would turn a blind eye to everything, and instead had a face full of speechlessness.


    "Do you really think I don''t dare to touch you?" Seeing his fearless attitude, Mu Lingyi felt uncomfortable in his heart, "Men, Helian Yunqian has neglected his duty and is pulling down his staff to punish her 100!"


    The guards at the side, seemed to not dare to make a move against Helian Yunqian.


    Who would dare to make a move!


    "Are you all disobeying orders?" Mu Lingyi was about to explode from their reactions.


    "Your majesty, this is all this old subject''s fault. This old subject will bear the responsibility, it has nothing to do with Yun Qian!" Ye Chengxuan was excited, he almost wanted to crawl out of bed.


    Helian Yunqian frowned slightly, as if he was unwilling to let his father toil for this matter. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "I won''t trouble Your Majesty to take action.


    After throwing those words, he turned and left with light steps, while Mu Lingyi led the soldiers and left angrily.


    "A Xi, hurry up and advise your Royal Brother, my brother is clearly wronged!" Ye Zhuozhuo was instantly unhappy in his heart.

 C81

    Even though elder brother has all the military power in the Dragon Seal Empire, he is still mainly in charge of the capital city. He has already given all the authority to his father in the border area.


    Mu Lingyi was certain that his brother would not let his father take on this crime. He would rather bear all of the responsibilities that his father had given him, that''s why he took the opportunity to suppress his brother.


    Helian Yunqian had not even one foot out of the tent when he turned around and ordered Ye Zhuozhuo: "Shining, treat father''s injuries. Don''t worry about the rest of the matters!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, yet was unwilling to let his brother suffer such grievances. Just as he was about to follow along, he was stopped by Mu Lingxi.


    The General Ye''s injuries are more important. You should treat the General Ye first, I will go and advise the Royal Brother. "" Okay. Mu Lingxi patted her shoulder, signalling for her to calm down, "General Ye, don''t worry!"


    Hearing A Xi''s words, Ye Zhuozhuo finally relaxed a little and reluctantly agreed, "Alright."


    After he finished instructing, Mu Lingxi immediately turned around and left the camp. At this time, Mu Lingyi''s voice which was filled with rage, entered his ears.


    "What, none of you dare to make a move anymore, right? Are you still looking down on me?" Mu Lingyi pointed at the group of soldiers, seeing how they all lowered their heads and cowered in front of Helian Yunqian, he was extremely angry.


    These soldiers, one by one, had followed the General Helian to the brink of death and had long vowed to follow them to their deaths. Right now, most of them were afraid that they would rather die than make a move against Helian Yunqian.


    Helian Yunqian''s unperturbed gaze fell on the soldier closest to him and coldly ordered: "Do it, this general will pardon you of your crime."


    The soldier''s legs went soft and he quickly knelt down, "General Helian, this little one has no parents, I grew up in this army camp. If it wasn''t for you taking me in, this little one wouldn''t be here anymore, this little one would rather die than make a move against the general!"


    As for the other soldiers, they all knelt down as well. Mu Lingyi looked at the man in front of him and other than the atmosphere, he started to panic.


    These people''s hearts had probably been bribed by Helian Yunqian. Following this trend, it would still be a big problem if he could stay in the throne.


    "Alright, since you all don''t dare to make a move, I''ll do it myself!" Mu Lingyi was flustered and exasperated, he simply picked up the wooden cane himself, brought along the full Spiritual Strength and smashed it onto Helian Yunqian''s back.


    Seeing that Helian Yunqian''s expression did not change, Mu Lingyi increased the power in his hands, one strike after another, as though he wanted to vent out all of the anger in his heart.


    "Royal Brother, Royal Brother!" Mu Lingxi hurried over, wanting to stop the furious Royal Brother. "A small punishment is enough, if you really injured General Helian, then who is going to deal with the Vicious Beasts?"


    "Ling Xi, even you are on his side? In your eyes, my Royal Brother is worthless, right? " Mu Lingyi was extremely sensitive in his heart, and when he thought about how his most capable royal brother was so close to Helian Yunqian, he felt especially uncomfortable in his heart.


    "Royal Brother, junior did not mean to do that ¡­"


    "If that''s not what you mean, then scram!" At this time, Mu Lingyi could not hear any dissuasion.


    "Ling Xi, shut up!" At this time, Helian Yunqian coldly spoke. Her thin lips slightly parted, and a sweet taste came from her throat.


    Mu Lingxi''s fingers were curled tightly together, wanting to say something, but Yun Qian did not allow him to dissuade Royal Brother, so he could only keep silent and watch as Yun Qian was punished by Mu Lingyi''s one hundred sticks of punishment.


    "Someone, come!" Mu Lingyi angrily threw down the wooden staff in his hands. Seeing that Helian Yunqian still had not moved an inch, only a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, he immediately felt that the anger in his heart had not disappeared, "Take off the position of General Ye, and return to the capital. Since the General Ye no longer has the ability to guard the border, then let''s take this opportunity and return home!"


    "Your majesty!" Before Mu Lingyi could turn around to leave, a big hand held his arm tightly.


    In that moment, Mu Lingyi was unable to move. He turned around, looked at Helian Yunqian''s cold and deep gaze, and became extremely angry, "What does General Helian mean by this? Do you want to interfere with our decision?"


    Helian Yunqian smirked, and squinted his eyes, as though he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart: "I just said it, this matter has nothing to do with my father. This matter of expulsion from the army, the Emperor has already said it, it''s not counted yet!"


    He could bear to see how Mu Lingyi would treat him for his father''s sake, but if he wanted to make things difficult for his father, he wouldn''t just turn a blind eye.


    His father had been guarding this place for most of his life now, so should he be dismissed for such a small negligence? If that were the case, how disheartened would his father be?


    Therefore, he was the first to disagree with this!


    "You! "What do you mean?" Although Mu Lingyi had a tough mouth, facing Helian Yunqian''s sharp eyes, he already started to feel guilty.


    "If I say no, then no!" Helian Yunqian was no longer courteous with him, her arrogant tone did not seem to put the emperor in her eyes anymore, "If the emperor wants to leave, then leave with me!"


    "You! Are you threatening me? " Mu Lingyi was well aware that under such a tense situation, if there was one less Helian Yunqian at the border, no one would be able to fight against so many Vicious Beasts.


    So at this time, Helian Yunqian could not be removed from his position, if not, according to the current situation, all the soldiers would follow him, completely disregarding him, the Emperor.


    "Royal Brother!" Mu Lingxi immediately tried to persuade him, "Although the General Ye''s defense is weak, half of his lifetime''s achievements cannot be overlooked. Your majesty, if you were to punish one of your meritorious ministers like this, I am afraid it would be hard for you to convince the masses!"


    Not only would it be hard to convince the public, Yun Qian would definitely be the first to disagree. Who knew what kind of trouble this would bring about?


    "Hmph." Mu Lingyi took Mu Lingxi''s words seriously, but he was still a little angry at Helian Yunqian''s attitude, "Alright, we will give you two a chance to atone for your sins. If you two are unable to resolve this matter with the Vicious Beasts, then we will remove you both from the job!"


    His words could be considered as giving both sides a way out. After all, with Helian Yunqian''s strength, dealing with the Vicious Beasts s was not a problem.


    With that, Mu Lingyi turned around and left. No matter how angry he was, he could only swallow his anger down.


    "Yun Qian, are you alright?" Seeing that the Royal Brother had left, Mu Lingxi hurried over to ask for his concern.


    In his heart, Mu Lingxi was still quite impressed with this fellow. He actually dared to go head to head with the Royal Brother, although there were many places that he couldn''t accept the Royal Brother, he didn''t think that he would directly refute him like this.


    It had to be said that this fellow''s guts were growing greater and greater.


    "I''m fine." Helian Yunqian did not mind, and continued, "The matter of the Vicious Beasts is extremely strange, I am afraid it is not that simple, and now, I have to stay here."


    "Then, what about me?" Mu Lingxi could not help but ask.


    "You all, return to your Mercenary Academy." "Xiruo is currently in a difficult situation with her Divine Ranked Class, and needs someone to help her. If you guys are also not in the academy, I won''t be able to rest easy. As for the matters at the borders, you guys don''t have to worry. Leave it to me."


    Mu Lingxi sighed helplessly: "Leave this place to you, we will naturally be at ease. Don''t worry, we will also take good care of Xiruo for you."


    "I''ll head back to the Mercenary Academy first." Helian Yunqian was still thinking about his promise to Xi Ruo to return within a day. If she did not return now, he was afraid that he would make her worry.


    Su Xiruo stayed in the Duel Yard for an entire day, earning over ten thousand gold coins. Her name could be considered to have resounded throughout the entire Duel Yard.


    In the evening, after leaving Duel Yard, her heart suddenly felt empty, and she asked Liu Sheng: "Liu Sheng, it''s almost dark, Yun Qian and the rest have not come back yet, I''m worried that this matter is serious, why don''t we go take a look?"


    She did not want to continue sitting still and waiting for death. If something really happened at Dragon Seal Empire Pass, she wanted to face it together with Yun Qian.


    "Miss Su, since Master has asked you not to leave the Academy without permission, just patiently wait." Liu Sheng seemed to be in a difficult position as well.


    At this time, a familiar and lazy voice was heard, "Xiruo."


    Su Xiruo looked up and only saw Helian Yunqian appearing in front of him, like a gust of wind, and was caught off guard.

 C82

    "Yun Qian." When Su Xiruo saw that he had appeared before him unharmed, the heavy burden that was hanging over his heart seemed to have dropped to the ground instantly. He asked anxiously, "How is the situation at the border crossing?"


    "It''s already stabilized for now, there''s no need to worry." Helian Yunqian''s voice was extremely gentle.


    However, Su Xiruo was able to catch the hidden meaning behind his words, "What do you mean by stabilising for the time being? Yun Qian, tell me the truth, what exactly happened? "


    Helian Yunqian could not help but laugh, then explained to her: "This matter has many implications, and we have not found the source, so in this period of time, I need to constantly stand guard at the border, I''m afraid I cannot always stay by your side."


    Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment. Even though he was a bit disappointed in his heart, he still spoke: "It''s fine, I''m fine. "Right, where are the Shining and Lingxi?"


    "They are currently guarding the border. Let them come back when I return." Helian Yunqian did this because he was worried that there would be a sudden change in events.


    "Is it so urgent? You actually need someone to keep an eye on you at all times. " Su Xiruo frowned, his gaze suddenly landed on Helian Yunqian''s pale white face, and asked anxiously: "You''re injured?"


    Just what had happened, could it be that even Yun Qian could not deal with it?


    "No problem, just some superficial wounds." Helian Yunqian reached out and gently caressed her cheeks, "Xiruo, I''ve specially come back to tell you these things. After I''ve finished, it''s time for me to leave, this time for at least a month or two."


    "Yes." Su Xiruo understood what he meant and nodded, "Don''t worry about me, I will take good care of myself. Even if you are at the border, you have to take good care of yourself."


    Helian Yunqian took out a transparent Azure Feather from the Storage Ring and gave it to her. "If you have any problems that you cannot solve, use this Azure Feather to send me a message. I will immediately receive the message and rush over."


    Su Xiruo held onto the Azure Feather tightly, and for the first time he felt a bitter and bitter feeling in his heart, "Be careful in everything."


    Thousands of words, but only one word came out of his mouth.


    "Yes." In his heart, Helian Yunqian was also somewhat unwilling to part with her. He pulled Su Xiruo into his embrace and gently leaned on her shoulder, as though he was hoping that this time would go by slowly.


    Slowly releasing his hand, Su Xiruo knew that even if he was unwilling, he could not try to urge Yun Qian to stay by himself. After all, Yun Qian had his own matters to attend to, so he could not just revolve around forever.


    A light kiss landed on Su Xiruo''s forehead, and in the next second, Helian Yunqian turned into an afterimage, and together with Liu Sheng, he disappeared in front of Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo looked at the direction where the two left in, then nodded at the Azure Feather in his hands.


    "Xiruo!" Suddenly, an ear piercing voice interrupted her train of thoughts, turning back, only to see Lin Yuan swaggering over.


    Su Xiruo immediately retracted the smile on his face, and asked coldly: "Didn''t I already tell you, in this academy, don''t call me?


    "What, I saw you getting intimate with Helian Yunqian, do you have a guilty conscience?" Lin Yuan slowly approached her, and even deliberately brought up this matter, "Xiruo, you wouldn''t really be moved by that guy, right? The mission that High Lord gave you, in my opinion, has been completely forgotten by you now! "


    If High Lord were to know about this, who knows what the consequences would be.


    "Lin Yuan, you will have to pay the price for spreading rumors!" "I have always remembered the mission Father gave me. The reason why I got close to Helian Yunqian was to let him relax his guard and then find an opportunity to attack. Don''t you understand?"


    "Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yuan scoffed, he did not believe it at all.


    "Which one of your ears heard me?" Su Xiruo didn''t even give him a chance to speak, "You know Helian Yunqian''s strength, if we rashly make a move, you and I would be no match for him even if we were to be tied together, do you think I''m your match? He only knows how to use brute force, and never once did he consider his own strength! "


    When she said these words, she was mocking Lin Yuan for being weak. Not only was her strength weak, she was overestimating herself!


    Being mocked like that, Lin Yuan was naturally unhappy in his heart, but he did not know how to refute it. "It''s best if it''s what you say, but in the future, you have to be careful within the academy.


    "You don''t have to threaten me like that. You, on the other hand, have to be careful. If you ruin my plan and I go and report to my father, I''m afraid you will be the one who can''t take it, no?" Su Xiruo was not afraid of his threat at all.


    She thought to herself, I''m afraid you won''t have a chance to catch me. After all, Yun Qian has already left the academy.


    Lin Yuan curled his fingers tightly, wanting to hit her but not daring to do so. He could only nod his head in ridicule: "Alright, then we''ll see who will reveal the truth first!"


    Since he said it like that, he would definitely think of ways to deal with Su Xiruo!


    Throwing those words down, Lin Yuan left the place angrily.


    Su Xi Ruo let out a sigh. She did not take Lin Yuan to heart at all. What she was worried about now was actually Yun Qian.


    Earlier, Yun Qian did not explain to her clearly about the matters at the border. He was actually injured.


    The more it was like this, the more Su Xiruo was worried that something bad might happen.


    After thinking about it again, she couldn''t stop worrying, so she walked to the deserted land of the Academy alone. After carefully observing her surroundings and confirming that there were no living things around, she carefully opened her mouth and said, "Mu Jin, Mu Jin."


    Mu Jin heard her master''s call and immediately transformed into a human form, flying out from her sleeves. A clear and young boy appeared in front of her.


    "Mistress, is there something you need for me to come out for?" Mu Jin seemed to be very happy. After all, Master rarely took the initiative to call him out.


    "I need you to take me somewhere." Despite repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Su Xiruo''s voice was still soft.


    Mu Jin was startled, and asked: "Where do you want to go?"


    "Northern border of the Dragon Seal Empire." Su Xiruo blurted out.


    Although Yun Qian had said that he would take care of the matters at the border himself, she really couldn''t rest easy if she didn''t personally take a look.


    "Mistress, what are you doing in that place?" Mu Jin was suddenly unable to understand.


    "I have something to take care of, so I''ll have to go over. You just need to tell me, how long do you need to travel from the academy to the northern borders of the Dragon Seal Empire?" This was what Su Xiruo was concerned about the most.


    After all, the journey was a long one. In less than three days, she would have to start the first mission of the academy. It would be the best if she could make it back before then.


    "Going back and forth would take about seven to eight hours." Mu Jin thoughtfully replied to her question.


    It had only been seven or eight hours, and he could already fly back and forth? In other words, even if he went to stay once, he would be back in the academy in less than a day.


    Su Xiruo was still rather surprised in his heart, and promptly spoke out: "Seven or eight hours, according to my expectations, Mu Jin, this matter should not be delayed. Quickly, bring me along!"


    He secretly went to take a look. If Yun Qian was safe, then he would secretly return and not worry about him.


    "Alright." Mu Jin naturally would not disobey his master''s orders. His body instantly turned into a golden kite, bent down in front of Su Xiruo and respectfully said, "Master, come up!"


    Su Xiruo flew up, and after sitting down, he went straight up into the sky, flying across the sky, and disappeared.


    At the same time, a student walked out of the Book Pavilion which was located some distance away from the wasteland. In that instant, he seemed to see something flash across the sky, and then disappear in an instant.


    "Could it be that there''s another flying spirit beast in this academy?" The student muttered to himself as a hint of desire appeared in his eyes. Since there was no trace of him, he didn''t say anything more.


    However, if he were to meet it again, he wouldn''t just sit by and watch the flying spirit beast leave!

 C83

    When they arrived at the northern border military camp, the sky was already starting to brighten slightly. It was not even dawn yet, and although Su Xiruo was wearing thick clothes, the coldness was still able to penetrate through his clothes and pierce into his bones.


    Su Xiruo jumped down from Jin Yuan''s back. She transformed into a small bird and instantly dove into her sleeves, softly warning her, "Mistress, be careful in all matters!"


    "Yes." Just as she was about to enter the camp, she was stopped by the guards.


    "You are not allowed to enter the military camp!" The soldier''s tone was extremely cold.


    Su Xiruo said lightly: "I am here to look for General Helian."


    When the two soldiers heard these words, they were stunned for a moment. They raised their heads to size her up but still did not intend to let her go. "There are too many people who know our general. Who are you?"


    The general had instructed those whose identities were unclear to not be allowed in, otherwise, it would be their fault.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly. After thinking for a while, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he took out the Red Jade Marrow Ring Yun Qian gave him. He waved it in front of them: "This is the keepsake from General Helian, you guys should recognize it, right?"


    How could the two soldiers not recognize the ring? It was the general''s personal item, and yet it was in the hands of this little girl?


    As a result, both of them changed their attitude, "Please come in young lady!"


    "Please lead the way and meet the General Helian." Su Xiruo politely made his request.


    "The girl may have to wait." One of the soldiers seemed to want to say something but hesitated.


    Su Xiruo didn''t quite understand: "Why?"


    The soldier sighed slightly. "Yesterday night, the emperor blamed the general for leaving his post without permission and even vented his anger on everyone. In order to appease the emperor, the general knelt outside the emperor''s tent for the entire night."


    "Yesterday night?" When Su Xiruo heard this, the thoughts in his head immediately exploded.


    Could it be, because of last night, Yun Qian had returned to the academy and that little emperor had vented his anger?


    Tightly curling her fingers, she said, "Bring me there!"


    She wanted to see just how capable this little emperor was to dare to be so impetuous!


    At this time, the sky had already brightened up, and the cold wind was bone-chilling. A thin figure was kneeling outside the tent, wearing only a single robe. His body was still trembling slightly, as if he would fall at any time.


    Liu Sheng also knelt at the side, looking at his master with a face full of worry, and could not help but say: "Master, quickly get up, the sky is almost bright, if you do not get up, your body will not be able to take it!"


    Master''s body was still wounded, so after kneeling in the cold wind for an entire night, even if his body was made of iron, it would still be unbearable.


    Helian Yunqian said indifferently, his voice sounding somewhat pale and hoarse: "If I were to kneel here, the little emperor''s anger will only dissipate a little. There''s no harm, you can go and patrol."


    Liu Sheng knew that if not for General Ye, his master would not have endured such a sin.


    "I will ask the Emperor!" Just as he was about to get up, Helian Yunqian''s body slowly fell down like a piece of paper. Liu Sheng immediately held onto him with both of his hands.


    At this moment, his originally white face was pale to the point that it was devoid of blood. It was as if he was a ghost.


    "Yun Qian!" Suddenly, a familiar female voice entered his ears.


    Su Xiruo hurried over, seeing that her husband was already unconscious, she took off her cape and covered him up. She reached out to touch his fingerbone, which was so cold and stiff that it did not have any heat, and immediately became angry and scolded: "Liu Sheng, how did you take care of your master?"


    "This, this is none of my business." On the other hand, Liu Sheng had a face full of injustice, as he explained everything that had happened yesterday to Su Xiruo.


    Looking at Yun Qian''s haggard and pale face, he felt both angry and pained in his heart. "Liu Sheng, bring Yun Qian to the camp to rest first, I''ll go meet that doggy emperor!"


    Her eyes were cold and sinister, as if she wanted to kill someone!


    With that, she got up and went back to her tent. Liu Sheng couldn''t stop her no matter what.


    At this time, Mu Lingyi had just woken up, and after the maid helped him wash up, he casually asked: "Is Helian Yunqian still kneeling outside?"


    "Reporting to Your Majesty, the General Helian is no longer outside the camp." A soldier reported truthfully.


    Hearing this, Mu Lingyi coldly snorted, "This guy really has a lot of guts. Without our order, he wouldn''t even be able to see a shadow of us."


    At this moment, the sound of soldiers blocking the way could be heard, "Miss, you can''t go in, you can''t go in!"


    Su Xiruo frowned, he hated these flies that blocked his way. He waved his hand and released Spiritual Strength, sending the soldier flying, and he rushed into the tent, right in front of Mu Lingyi.


    "How dare you!" Mu Lingyi looked at the young lady who barged in, he was extremely furious, but when he looked carefully, he seemed to have some impression of her, "Are you the young miss from Prime Minister''S Estate?"


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth slightly rose, as if he was smiling yet not smiling, "Who I am is not important, but what I know is that you are an unconscious ruler that does not differentiate between black and white!"


    She didn''t give the little Emperor any face. She only wanted to vent all the anger in her heart.


    Mu Lingyi was the one who was most afraid and most enraged to hear the words "fainted monarch". A short two words seemed to be able to reject all of his achievements and actions.


    "Do you know what you''re saying?" Mu Lingyi snorted and ordered, "Men, drag this reckless girl out and kill her!"


    The soldiers at the side listened to him, one by one, they picked up their weapons and prepared to attack, but Su Xiruo did not put them in his eyes at all: "I''m afraid you guys do not have the ability!"


    She raised her hand, and more than ten concealed weapons flew out from her sleeves, as fast as lightning, repelling the soldiers one by one. It was as if even Mu Lingyi did not see clearly when she did it.


    After taking care of the soldiers around him, Su Xiruo simply went closer to the dragon bed, and placed the sharp Can Meng on top of Mu Lingyi''s neck.


    "You ¡­ What exactly do you want to do? Do you know that you are committing regicide?! " Mu Lingyi panicked a little. This seemingly weak girl actually had such a powerful strength.


    "Mu Lingyi, don''t be anxious. If I say you''re an unconscious king, then there''s reason and evidence." Su Xiruo laughed noncommittally: "You inverted black and white, have a heart full of suspicions, and even left the Vicious Beasts to not deal with it, yet you chose to punish the man who had been your loyal servant for many years. Is what you did not sound like a monarch''s act, or what?"


    Mu Lingyi seemed to understand her meaning: "Are you speaking up for Helian Yunqian? Who are you to him? "


    "I''m his wife." Su Xiruo blurted out, "Mu Lingyi, no one wants to see an accident happen at this border, what about you, you just need to get back to your palace, enjoy life, and be your little emperor. As for the rest of the matters, my husband will naturally settle them for you, but as long as you get involved in it, not only will you cause more trouble, you will also show that you are extremely unscrupulous!"


    Su Xiruo''s words hit the nail on the head, as if she did not see him as an emperor.


    "You!" Mu Lingyi opened his eyes wide in anger, he was unwilling, "You do not have the qualifications to criticize us!"


    "I have no right to criticize you. If it wasn''t for the involvement of my husband, I wouldn''t even bother to care about your matters!" Su Xiruo shot him a cold glance, and said coldly, "How about this, now, if you know what''s good for you, listen to my words, and obediently scram back to the capital. If you continue to punish my husband, I will take your life!"


    Finished speaking, her hand slightly tilted, and the sharp Can Meng drew a line of blood on Mu Lingyi''s neck.


    The soldiers all held their weapons and surrounded Su Xiruo, not daring to make a move, as they were worried that something might happen to the emperor.


    "Aren''t you afraid that I will take over your father''s residence when you speak to me like that?" Mu Lingyi tried to threaten her.


    It was only a thousand dollar worth of Prime Minister''S Estate, so how could he not be afraid of implicating someone from his clan?


    Su Xiruo laughed, he was still fearless: "Go ahead and plunder, I wish for nothing more!"


    In Prime Minister''S Estate, she had no weakness, no sore spot, and the only thing she couldn''t relax about was her granny. Therefore, if this little emperor couldn''t threaten her, she had no need to be afraid!

 C84

    "You!" Mu Lingyi was immediately angered, "We have never seen such a cold-blooded, heartless woman like you!"


    "So what if I am Leng Wuqing?" Su Xiruo did not care about how he thought of her, "Hurry up and give me an answer, if you slow down, my blade will not grow any eyes!"


    The soldiers raised their vigilance by a full twenty percent, but deep in their hearts, they were still extremely impressed by this little girl. She actually dared to be so disrespectful to the emperor. This point was somewhat similar to that of their general!


    Suddenly, a soldier hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, no ¡­ Not good, the Vicious Beasts are coming again! "


    "What?" Mu Lingyi''s eyes widened, immediately falling into panic, "Quick, quickly go get General Helian!"


    Last night, Ling Xi and Ye Zhuozhuo had already left the border overnight. General Ye was still recovering, and the only person he could think of to date was Helian Yunqian.


    "Mu Lingyi, listen up!" However, Su Xiruo cut him off, "My husband is still unconscious, if you had listened to my suggestion just now, you would be willing to obediently scram back to the capital. I can help you take care of the Vicious Beasts outside, this is your only choice!"


    Letting this guy get lost would also mean avoiding all trouble. This was what Su Xiruo thought.


    Mu Lingyi was startled, and his mind went blank.


    But after thinking about it carefully, in the entire army camp, there was not a single person who could lead soldiers to deal with the Vicious Beasts.


    Furthermore, the dagger was already at his neck, and the situation outside was extremely tense. Even if he didn''t want to agree, there was nothing he could do about it.


    "Alright, I promise you!" So, Mu Lingyi agreed, "As long as you force back all the Vicious Beasts outside, we will return to the kingdom today and will not interfere with the matters at the border!"


    "Alright, it''s a deal!" Su Xiruo kept his Can Meng and quickly left the camp.


    Mu Lingyi patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief: "This woman, is truly a shrew!"


    At this time, the entire camp was already surrounded by Vicious Beasts. Each and every one of them looked extremely vicious, their eyes blood-red, as if they wanted to eat someone.


    The soldiers were well-prepared. The blades in their hands glinted with sharpness. They were probably planning to fight to the death!


    However, the Vicious Beasts waved its claws and stamped its feet. Its posture of collapsing mountains and cracking the earth was not something ordinary soldiers could handle. Many of its casualties could only be exchanged for one or two Vicious Beasts s.


    Just at this moment, a dagger with a powerful Spiritual Strength directly flew out and stabbed into the Vicious Beasts''s neck. Seeing the blood seal on its throat, in the next second, Xi Ruo used her backhand to finish off the Vicious Beasts.


    With the sudden appearance of such a powerful lady, the soldiers looked as if they had seen hope, their fighting spirit rising.


    Su Xiruo landed gracefully on the ground and immediately noticed that something was amiss with the Vicious Beasts.


    These big fellows were different from ordinary spirit beasts. They seemed to have been manipulated or poisoned, and after losing their minds, the only thing left in their minds was the thought of slaughter.


    Therefore, these Vicious Beasts could not be left alive, they could only kill them all, or else they would only continue to leave trouble behind!


    Suddenly, a beast claw came from Su Xiruo''s back. Caught off guard, Su Xiruo did not manage to react in time, she quickly crawled out from her sleeves: "Master, be careful!"


    When Su Xiruo turned around, Mu Jin had already taken care of the Vicious Beasts behind him.


    "Mu Jin, you ¡­"


    "Master, there are too many Vicious Beasts. You can''t deal with them by yourself, so let me help you!" Mu Jin''s tone was filled with worry. He truly did not wish to see her fall into danger.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not refuse, and warned, "Be careful yourself!"


    Thus, the two of them decisively killed the endless stream of Vicious Beasts s with one blade after another. Although these Vicious Beasts s were so savage that they did not have any intelligence, it was fortunate that they were not powerful enough and were able to handle them.


    After an unknown amount of time, just as Mu Jin was about to kill the last Vicious Beasts, he was stopped by Su Xiruo: "Wait!"


    Mu Jin stopped and asked her with interest: "Master, do you still want to keep him alive?"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, and threw out two Venomous Vine s from the group of Storage Ring, which tightly entangled them.


    At first, the Vicious Beasts struggled, trying to break free from its restraints, but the more it struggled, the tighter the Venomous Vine entwined, and the thorns on the vine also pierced into the Vicious Beasts''s skin, bleeding profusely.


    In the end, the Vicious Beasts gave up on resisting and became a lot calmer.


    Su Xiruo turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Lock it up. When the general wakes up, leave it to him to deal with."


    "Yes sir!"


    "Mistress, are you alright?" Mu Jin pulled her hand, and asked with concern when he saw her face was covered in dust.


    Su Xiruo shook his head: "I''m fine, but today, it''s all thanks to you, otherwise, it would be difficult for me to handle so many Vicious Beasts by myself."


    "With me here, naturally I won''t let Master get hurt." Mu Jin''s thoughts were extremely simple, even if he had to risk his life, he had to protect his master.


    Suddenly, the surprised voice of a soldier entered his ears: "Not good, there''s another Vicious Beasts!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head to look and the Vicious Beasts had already snuck into Mu Lingyi''s tent. He immediately smiled, but he was not as anxious as he was before, "Mu Jin, hide first, I''ll settle this Vicious Beasts myself!"


    "Oh, okay." Mu Jin nodded her head obediently, she then turned into a small bird and hid into Su Xiruo''s sleeves.


    Su Xiruo took light steps and rushed towards Mu Lingyi''s tent. Just as he entered, he heard Mu Lingyi''s incessant screams.


    The Vicious Beasts stretched out its hands and grabbed Mu Lingyi''s neck, floating in the air. Mu Lingyi''s legs left the ground, and was extremely frightened, to the point where he even had difficulty breathing.


    "Su Xiruo..." Seeing Su Xiruo, Mu Lingyi immediately asked for help. You are fast... "Come and save us!"


    Su Xiruo scoffed, in her heart she wanted to make him suffer a little more, so she pretended to be slow. "Your majesty, I don''t dare to go near, if I anger it, when it''s angry, it''ll wring your head off, wouldn''t that be my fault?"


    "I ¡­" I''ll pardon you for your innocence, but quickly kill it! " Mu Lingyi was about to die from anxiety, but looking at this girl who was not in a hurry, he was angry and angry at the same time.


    "I can save you too." Su Xiruo began to state conditions with him, "I want you to personally apologize to my husband!"


    If Yun Qian could take this lying down, she, Su Xiruo, would not be able to take it.


    "You!" Mu Lingyi was almost angered to death by her words, "We are the stately kings, don''t go overboard!"


    Su Xiruo said as if he had nothing to say, "I won''t force you, if you are unwilling, then forget it, farewell!"


    After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, as if she wanted to watch as her life came to an end.


    "Wait ¡­" "Hold on!" Mu Lingyi felt that if the Vicious Beasts increased its strength even more, his own neck would really be broken. He could only force himself to agree, "We promise you, we promise you, quickly!"


    Seeing him agree, Su Xiruo felt much more at ease in his heart. Leaping up into the air, he kicked downwards, following that with his palm strike landing on the Vicious Beasts''s back. The Vicious Beasts''s internal organs were injured, it spat out blood and let its hand drop to the ground.


    And Su Xiruo did not try to catch the Mu Lingyi who had fallen from the sky.


    Mu Lingyi had a terrible fall. At this time, his head was covered with dirt and his face was covered with dirt.


    "Su Xiruo, you, you did it on purpose!" Mu Lingyi could roughly guess that this girl was doing this on purpose.


    Su Xiruo said righteously: "So what if you''re doing this on purpose? I just want to tell you, if you continue to be harsh on my husband in the future, even if my husband doesn''t want to fight with you, I will definitely get revenge and make you pay the price! This time, it is a small punishment. The next time, I will not be so easy to speak with! "


    With that, Su Xiruo could no longer be bothered to continue with his nonsense. She could no longer wait to see Yun Qian, and when she reached the door, she did not forget to add on, "That''s right, your majesty, do not forget about the promise you gave me today."


    With that, he quickly disappeared.

 C85

    "Su Xiruo!" Mu Lingyi smashed his fist on the table, his anger filling up.


    This Su Xiruo, was simply the same as Helian Yunqian, he did not place this emperor in his eyes at all!


    What was even more infuriating was that this girl didn''t have any weakness to hold on to, so he couldn''t do anything to her!


    "Your majesty." One of the soldiers standing next to her opened his mouth and said, "Should we capture that woman?"


    "What, are you still ashamed of me?" This sort of perfidy was related to his reputation, and Mu Lingyi was still unable to do it, "Since we have agreed to it, then we must do it!"


    However, the next time, it was best not to let that girl fall into his hands. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn''t let her off so easily!


    That jumbled voice outside, was as light as a feather and entered his ears. Vaguely, Helian Yunqian slowly opened his eyes and felt the strange atmosphere outside.


    "Outside ¡­"


    Just as he was about to get up, he was stopped by Su Xiruo: "Everything is fine outside, don''t worry."


    "Is everything alright? "Xiruo, why are you here?" Helian Yunqian more or less did not understand what exactly had happened.


    "I had nothing to do, so I came over to take a look. By the way, I helped you solve some problems." Su Xiruo''s tone was warm, but when he thought of that "fainted monarch," he felt extremely unhappy in his heart. "And also at the same time, I''ll help you teach that doggy emperor a lesson!"


    "Huh?" When Helian Yunqian heard this, he seemed to have guessed something. He didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "The emperor has arrived!" At this moment, the sound of soldiers passing through came from outside.


    Mu Lingyi said lazily as he walked in angrily. He did not intend to stand up at all, "Your majesty, please forgive me for being unable to stand up and greet you."


    That tone was filled with righteousness, Mu Lingyi thought, you have never bowed to me before!


    Su Xiruo glared fiercely at Mu Lingyi, the anger in his heart was completely suppressed, and his attitude had also improved a lot: "Your Majesty, no need to be courteous, we were too impulsive yesterday''s matter, and should not lose our temper over it, I hope Your Majesty does not blame us!"


    Then, Mu Lingyi sneaked a glance at Su Xiruo, seeing that she was not satisfied with his apology, he could only continue: "It is my fault, we should not have interfered with the matters at the border, but after a while, we plan to return to the capital, so we will leave this border to you, rest assured!"


    The little Emperor suddenly said such soft words to him. Helian Yunqian felt that it was strange, did this Mu Lingyi eat the wrong medicine today?


    However, he naturally didn''t wish for less trouble to remain. He readily agreed, "Since Your Majesty is leaving, this subject will not stay any longer."


    He wished that trouble would hurry up and leave!


    "My beloved one, rest well. This is a Healing Drug used by the Imperial Palace. Leave it here." Mu Lingyi probably felt that it was too awkward staying here for too long. After putting down the Healing Drug, he hurriedly left.


    After he left, Helian Yunqian''s gaze unintentionally fell on Su Xiruo: "Xiruo, you''re really amazing. Just what method did you use to make this popinjay surrender?"


    "Me? I''m just using some unconventional tricks." Su Xiruo laughed, "However, to deal with such an unreasonable person like him, we should use this kind of rogue method!"


    Helian Yunqian laughed. No matter what method this girl used, to be able to appear in time and solve this urgent matter for him, Helian Yunqian was somewhat moved in his heart.


    When Liu Sheng saw that the two of them had a deep affection for each other, he knew that being here was extremely inconvenient, so he did not say anything. With a meaningful glance, he left, closing the door at the same time.


    Su Xiruo picked up the Healing Drug on the table and weighed it in his hands. He could not help but taunt: "What palace? It''s only a bottle of Profound Rank Elixir."


    Was this little emperor really poor or was he stingy?


    However, he didn''t have any more valuable spiritual medicines on him, so he decided to make do with it.


    Thus, she opened her mouth and said, "I''ll help you apply the medicine."


    "No need, they are all small injuries." Helian Yunqian rejected indifferently, as if he was worried that she would see his injuries.


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. Let me take a look at your injuries."


    "No need ¡­"


    Su Xiruo didn''t care what he said, as he ripped off Helian Yunqian''s shirt, the sinister bloody lines on his back entered his eyes, causing him to be badly mangled.


    In an instant, Su Xiruo''s fingerbone floated in the air, and he was at a loss of what to do. His eyes seemed to become a lot redder, and the pain in his heart increased, turning into hatred for the little emperor.


    I really want to kill Mu Lingyi!


    "Damn it, I should have cut that dog-emperor up a few times just now." In his heart, Su Xiruo still did not feel relieved. He could only blame himself for being too soft-hearted, allowing Mu Lingyi to take advantage of him!


    Seeing that Xi Ruo''s clear eyes were slightly shining, Helian Yunqian hurriedly comforted her: "It''s fine, it''s just some superficial wounds. They''ll recover in a few days."


    Su Xiruo sighed lightly, opened the Healing Drug and slowly applied it to the wounds on his back. "Does it hurt?"


    "It doesn''t hurt."


    His expression did not change, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he replied.


    Su Xiruo lowered her hand movements, her movements extremely careful, as though she was afraid that her actions were too severe and would cause her to hurt his wound. Because her movements were extremely slow, it took her more than an hour to apply the medicine.


    Pulling up his clothes, Su Xiruo was the first to speak: "Yun Qian, I just don''t understand, why did you not directly make him scram when Mu Lingyi, that unconscious monarch, was unable to differentiate between black and white?"


    With Yun Qian''s strength, there was no need for him to be afraid of that fainted Monarch.


    "Mu Lingyi''s heart is tied to the Dragon''s Seal and will always get hot-headed. It''s just that his heart is a little too suspicious. Helian Yunqian explained, "I don''t care at all, but my father has been loyal to this Dragon''s Seal for the rest of his life. After being entrusted by the late emperor, he would never do anything to disobey His Majesty, so there are some things that I cannot allow my father to suffer a loss in silence!"


    I can''t let General Ye suffer such a loss, and I can''t let General Ye disobey the Emperor either, so I can only let General Ye do all of this, right?


    "But, it''s not like you don''t know. That little emperor was trying every means possible to target you. It wasn''t easy to get this opportunity. He did it on purpose!" Su Xiruo''s finger bones were tightly curled up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn''t take this lying down.


    "Xiruo, I know he did it on purpose." Helian Yunqian was naturally well aware of the situation, "I don''t care how he treats me, I just don''t want those who I care about to be implicated."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say next.


    For those he cared about, he could give it his all. But why couldn''t he treat him well and consider more for his own sake?


    Thinking to this point, Su Xiruo felt very upset. He swore to himself that since he was not being nice to him, then in the future, he would let her take good care of Yun Qian.


    "Alright, Xiruo." Helian Yunqian intentionally interrupted the topic, unwilling to let her worry. "It''s time for you to return to the Academy."


    After being reminded like this, only then did Su Xiruo remember what happened at the academy. He nodded slightly.


    "I''ll send you back." With a certain tone, he didn''t have the slightest intention to negotiate with her.


    If he couldn''t personally see Xiruo safely return to the academy, he wouldn''t be able to relax.


    "No need ¡­"


    Before Su Xiruo could finish speaking, he had already crawled up from the bed, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and transformed into a gust of light breeze, disappearing from the tent.


    This kind of reaction didn''t allow any room for rejection.


    Helian Yunqian''s Wind Control Arts had already reached the stage of perfection, and in just a short hour, it had sent Su Xiruo back to the academy.


    "Xiruo, take care." He gently caressed Su Xiruo''s soft hair and warned her.

    This kind of reaction didn''t allow any room for rejection.


    Helian Yunqian''s Wind Control Arts had already reached the stage of perfection, and in just a short hour, it had sent Su Xiruo back to the academy.


    "Xiruo, take care." He gently caressed Su Xiruo''s soft hair and warned her.


    "You take care too." Su Xiruo took the initiative to walk forward, tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.


    Immediately, Helian Yunqian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, this girl rarely took the initiative towards him.


    "In the future, if something similar happens, you must tell me. Otherwise, I will be worried, understand?" Su Xiruo did not forget to remind her.


    Helian Yunqian hesitated for a second, then nodded: "Okay."


    Seeing him agree, Su Xiruo felt more at ease. Even if he was extremely unwilling, this time, they had to truly separate.


    After bidding farewell to Yun Qian, Su Xiruo put on an absent-minded look and walked on the road, intending to return to the Pear Garden.


    Su Xiruo raised his head and saw that three people were surrounding a young man who had an arrogant appearance. The one standing in the middle and injured was none other than Qing Xuan.


    Even though it was one against three, with no advantages at all, Qing Xuan''s eyes were still filled with stubbornness.


    Among those three people, if Xi Ruo knew one of them, it would be the person she had defeated a few days ago, Qin Zichen. The remaining man and woman should also be from Divine Ranked Class Two!


    "Brat, if you know what''s good for you, then return the gold coins that you just won to us. Otherwise, the one who will suffer will be you!" Qin Zichen said proudly.


    Qing Xuan snorted, he was unwilling to admit defeat: "You guys can kill me, if you want gold, no!"


    "This brat''s mouth is quite tough, show him what you got!" The female student did not seem to have a good temper. She raised her hand, and before the Spiritual Strength could condense in her palm, it was firmly grasped.


    The female student turned her head and saw Su Xiruo''s cold face, she cursed: "Don''t meddle in other people''s business!"


    "I just can''t watch it anymore. You lost your gold coin, yet you still think of ways and means to get it back by bullying the young. Doing this kind of thing is really shameful!" Su Xiruo slowly opened his mouth and ridiculed.


    She could immediately tell the strength of these three people. Other than Qin Zichen who only had six stars of Heavenly Spirit Master, the remaining female student had five stars of Heavenly Spirit Master and another male student had two stars of Heavenly Spirit Master.


    These three people should not be a match for Qing Xuan, the Yin Attribute''s six star Heavenly Spirit Master!


    "Su Xiruo, what does this have to do with you?" Qin Zichen angrily clenched his teeth, and said coldly: "I''m warning you, this has nothing to do with you, stop meddling in my affairs!"


    "You are that Su Xiruo?" The female student had a shocked expression.


    Was the girl in front of him the Su Xiruo who had defeated Senior Sister Wanyun and her, and even caused her to enter a forbidden area?


    Su Xiruo did not answer her question. Instead, his lips slightly raised, and he said, "I naturally have to be in charge of the matters regarding Heavenly Ranked Class Three!"


    "Don''t refuse a toast!" Although Qin Zichen spoke so arrogantly, he still had a little bit of a guilty conscience.


    After all, he was very clear about Su Xiruo''s strength. If she wanted to interfere in this matter, even they would not be able to do anything.


    "You have two choices." Su Xiruo snorted coldly, as if he did not put them in his eyes at all, "Either scram yourself, or I ask you to scram!"


    "What arrogant words you have there. Are we still afraid of you?" When the female student heard his arrogant tone, she became even angrier. She really wanted to have a contest with him.


    Thus, the female student took out her weapon, and thrusted it towards Su Xiruo''s back. Su Xiruo turned around, and using her fingertips to lightly pinch the tip of his sword, a burst of force along with the sword sent her flying.


    The female student was still not resigned. She turned around and said to the other two, "What are you still standing there for? Let''s attack together!"


    If they fought one on one, they wouldn''t be a match for this woman. Could it be that all three of them together wouldn''t be enough?


    The two of them looked at each other, and then attacked together, Su Xiruo''s feet lightly touched the ground, and she retreated a step. Suddenly, a gold light flashed through her sleeves, the powerful and tyrannical Spiritual Strength, knocked all three of them to the ground, and they all spat out blood.


    Due to the sudden great power, the three of them were unable to predict that it would actually be a type of Spiritual Strength that caused fear in one''s heart!

 C87

    Su Xiruo knew clearly in his heart that in that split second, Mu Jin had secretly helped him. Otherwise, even if he managed to defend against the three of their simultaneous attacks, he would still be injured.


    Thinking of this, she thanked Mu Jin from the bottom of her heart.


    "This... What Spiritual Skill is this? " Qin Zichen had yet to react. He felt that the powerful force was not Su Xiruo, but it could be controlled by him!


    "Naturally, it''s a Spiritual Skill that can kill you!" Su Xiruo''s tone was extremely arrogant, "If you don''t want to die, then get lost now!"


    The three of them looked at each other in dismay. They probably felt that it was a little unbelievable, but now, with the six star Heavenly Spirit Master and the five star Heavenly Spirit Master on the other side, the three of them did indeed not have any advantage.


    Thus, the three of them got up from the ground and said some harsh words to Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, just you wait, you won''t be arrogant for long!"


    With that, the three of them fled with a belly full of unwillingness.


    Su Xiruo looked at their backs and shook his head, not even bothering to chase after them. At this time, Qing Xuan had already stood up and said to her in a casual tone, "Thank you."


    Su Xiruo turned his head to look. The youth''s face was delicate and pretty, his black pupils incredibly clear, but his delicate and pretty face was tainted with a lot of dust and blood. His clothes were also tattered, with fresh blood and his hair in a mess.


    "We''re all in the same class, there''s no need to be polite. But, how did you get made difficult by them?" Su Xiruo was a little confused. With Qing Xuan''s strength, he shouldn''t have been made so difficult by them.


    The reason why she wanted to get close to this youth was because she wanted to pull Heavenly Ranked Class Three, the only person who was neutral, to her side. That way, she would have enough strength to fight against Xiao Muran.


    Of course, when she saw such a good-looking youth being troubled, she couldn''t bear to stand idly by and watch.


    "These injuries, are all left behind in the Duel Yard by me during this entire day." Qing Xuan said softly, and told her the truth, "They were not willing to lose so much gold, and so they came to ask for it from me. Thank you for saving us, if not, I would have worked so hard to earn so much gold today, I am afraid it would have all gone to waste."


    "So that''s how it is." Su Xiruo laughed and then tried to turn to the main topic at hand, "Are you trying so hard to earn gold just for the position of Heavenly Ranked Class Three Leader?"


    The corner of Qing Xuan''s mouth rose, without a trace of disdain: "That position, I do not care, but, on account of you helping me today, if you want to fight for it, maybe I can help you."


    Although he was not the least bit concerned with these things, this matter had after all, stirred up a huge uproar. The entire Divine Ranked Class knew, that Su Xiruo and Su Xiruo were both fighting for the leading position of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three with all their might.


    Seeing him take the initiative to suggest it, Su Xiruo''s heart was overjoyed: Qing Xuan, I won''t hide it from you. If we were to compare the number of gold coins I have, I will definitely not be able to compare to Xiao Muran, so, if you are willing to hand over all the gold that you have earned in the past few days to me ¡­.


    "This won''t do!" Qing Xuan interrupted her and rejected her offer. With his tone, there was no room for negotiation.


    Su Xiruo was startled, he seemed to be able to understand Qing Xuan''s thoughts, and did not try to force him: "Alright, since you are not willing, then I will not force you, in the future, when you are going out, be careful, I still have matters to attend to, so I will have to go first!"


    After hastily explaining everything to them, Su Xiruo hurriedly left, planning to first return and report back to Radiant and Ling Xi.


    Qing Xuan looked at Su Xiruo''s departing back, and a tinge of emotion flashed across his eyes, which then changed into a dull expression.


    At this time, inside the main hall of the Pear Garden, Xiao Muran was seated on the seat of honor, drinking tea and looking down at Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo arrogantly.


    "You two, come over to my side as soon as you can. I''ve already said this before, there''s nothing good to eat if you go against me." Xiao Muran mocked sarcastically, "Now that Su Xiruo has disappeared, don''t you know how to choose the best tree to perch on?"


    Originally, Xiao Muran thought that with Su Xiruo, that thorn in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, if he wanted to become the leader, he would need to have a good fight for it.


    Who would have thought that Su Xiruo, that girl, would suddenly disappear for no reason. This also meant that he would be able to sit in the position of leader.


    Ye Zhuozhuo glared at him: "Xiao Muran, the ten-day deadline is not up yet, isn''t it too early for you to say such words?"


    She believed that Xiruo would definitely return!


    "Ha ha?" Xiao Muran thought that it was funny, "Then why don''t you find Su Xiruo and bring him back? Just the gold in your hands, I''m afraid you two are unable to compete with me."


    "Then we will not submit to you!" Mu Lingxi''s attitude was even more unyielding.


    Nangong Yi glanced at them from the side, and whispered into their ears: "You two can listen to Xiao Muran for now, if you anger him, then you guys will be the one feeling bad."


    and Mu Lingxi, on the other hand, had never been people who yielded to anyone. "Then, I want to see what he can do to us!"


    With that, Mu Lingxi protected Ye Zhuozhuo behind him, his fingers curled tightly, planning to fight to the death with Xiao Muran!


    "Humph, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to see what''s good for you!" Xiao Muran did not have the patience to waste words with them. Just as he was about to attack, he was interrupted by a sharp female voice.


    "Stop!"


    Su Xiruo took light steps, his face cold as he walked into the great hall. He lifted his eyes to meet Xiao Muran''s fiendish gaze, without a shred of fear.


    "Xiruo!" Seeing Xi Ruo, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo''s eyes immediately lit up, like a boulder that was hanging over their hearts, falling to the ground.


    Fortunately, Xiruo had returned unharmed. He had just promised Yun Qian that he would take good care of Xiruo. If he didn''t do that, how much self-blame would he feel?


    "Su Xiruo, you''re back!" Xiao Muran only felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. "I had thought that you had lost your life in some corner of the academy, but who would have thought that you would still be able to return alive!"


    His words were filled with mockery.


    Su Xiruo laughed instead of getting angry: "What, are you very disappointed to see me alive in front of you?"


    Xiao Muran''s finger bones curled tightly, and he raised his eyebrows: "It''s good that you''re back, I''ll wait for you to return, then, I''ll properly humiliate you for a while!"


    Su Xiruo found a seat and sat down. He even picked up the cup on the table, drank a mouthful of tea, and slowly said: "Alright, I want to see how you will humiliate me."


    "The day after tomorrow, we will be leaving to execute our mission, so today, we might as well take out all of the gold coins we have and give this leader a reward." Xiao Muran had been busy for so many days, and he had been waiting for this moment.


    He wanted to prove with his own strength that he was the most qualified person to be the leader of this Heavenly Ranked Class Three.


    "Sure." Su Xiruo could only accept his words and give it a try.


    She had a lot of gold coins here, but she didn''t know how many gold coins Xiao Muran had.


    But, no matter what the result was, she accepted it!


    Thus, Su Xiruo opened the Storage Ring and poured out all the gold that he had gathered out. The pile of gold was around the height of a small mountain.


    Xiao Muran''s expression did not change as he opened up the Storage Ring. He spat out the gold coins like flowing water, and after a long while, the finally "hill" he piled up was obviously a little more than Su Xiruo''s pile of gold coins.


    "Hahaha!" Immediately, Xiao Muran revealed a pleased smile, "I think there''s no need to count anymore, Su Xiruo, I never thought that you would actually only have this much ability!"


    Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo couldn''t help but sigh. Ye Zhuozhuo hated themselves for not being able to help out much.


    Most of the gold coins were earned by A Xi and Ruo Ruo by going to the Duel Yard.


    Could it be that this time, they were destined to be stepped under Xiao Muran''s feet?


    "Don''t worry, there''s still me." At this moment, a warm and pleasant voice sounded in his ears.

 C88

    Everyone looked outside the door in shock, only to see Qing Xuan entering the hall expressionlessly. At that moment, Su Xiruo''s heart seemed to have a plan.


    "Qing Xuan, what are you doing here?" As for Xiao Muran, she seemed to be a little worried, "Didn''t you never join us in battles before?"


    "That was before. But now, I regret it." As Qing Xuan spoke, his eyes inadvertently stole a glance at Su Xiruo.


    Xiao Muran slightly frowned, not quite understanding what he meant: "What do you mean by regret? "Let me tell you, if you submit to me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. If you ¡­"


    "No!" Without waiting for him to speak, Qing Xuan cut him off, and his gaze landed on Su Xiruo, "I plan to be on the same side as Su Xiruo!"


    His voice wasn''t loud, but it was filled with confidence.


    "You, you!" Xiao Muran was so angry that he did not know what to say.


    But Qing Xuan completely ignored his expression, opened his own Storage Ring, and poured out a lot of gold coins from it, piling it up on top of the "hill" on Su Xiruo''s side. After a while, the gold coins on Su Xiruo''s side, obviously already surpassed the gold on Xiao Muran''s side.


    "That''s great, we''ve won!" Ye Zhuozhuo was so happy that she wanted to jump.


    Originally, they thought that they would lose to Xiao Muran because of a few days of delay. They never thought that a Qing Xuan would appear in the middle of the road to help them reverse the tide of the battle!


    "Qing Xuan, you have to think this through!" Xiao Muran stood up from the table, and in the next second, he seemed to be wishing for nothing more than to kill Qing Xuan.


    Qing Xuan gave a meaningless smile, "I naturally know what I am doing."


    "Alright, Xiao Muran." At this time, Su Xiruo slowly stood up and coldly ridiculed, "This is a fact that everyone desires and no one can change. Now, the result is already right in front of us, shouldn''t you give up the seat for me?"


    Xiao Muran patted his head. He never expected that all of his plans would be ruined by just Qing Xuan, and in the end, all of his plans were ruined!


    "Su Xiruo, you are weaker than me, what right do you have to sit on this seat?" However, Xiao Muran was still hoping to try his luck and get something out of that scoundrel.


    He was thinking in his heart, anyway, this girl''s strength was not as good as his, and now that the Master Helian was temporarily gone, he had to rely on his position as the leader. What could this girl do to him?


    "Xiao Muran, you despicable vile person. You dare to bet and yet you don''t dare to bear the consequences. You''re simply shameless!" Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but scold him.


    "Hehe, so what if I''m shameless?" Xiao Muran just simply smashed himself in, he coldly stared at Su Xiruo, "Su Xiruo, today, if you can take one of my blows, I will make you the leader, and if you can''t even take one of mine, then you will not be able to accept me!"


    The reason he raised his voice so that everyone would hear him, and see Su Xiruo make a fool out of himself in front of everyone.


    Without even waiting for Su Xiruo to agree, Xiao Muran had already leaped out of the seat of honor, the sharp force of his palm was already out, the speed of his attack was so fast, he did not have time to prepare.


    "How dare he launch a sneak attack, he''s really shameless!" Mu Lingxi saw all of this and kept it in his heart.


    Xi Ruo''s strength was inferior to Xiao Muran''s in the first place, let alone his sneak attack!


    Su Xiruo stood in place and calmed herself down. She turned her body, wanting to dodge Xiao Muran''s attack, but she realized, it was too late.


    "Master, don''t be afraid. I''m here!" Just as she was about to do it with her life, Mu Jin''s voice suddenly came into her ears.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo felt a powerful Spiritual Strength being poured into his palm, clashing head on with Xiao Muran''s palm, the remaining energy waves destroyed many tables and chairs in the room.


    In the next second, Xiao Muran spat out blood first, and flew out. On the other hand, Su Xiruo was still standing at his original position, completely unharmed.


    No matter how arrogant Su Xiruo was, they all knew that he only had a five star Heavenly Spirit Master. However, the attack she had just made, no matter if it was speed or strength, had completely suppressed Xiao Muran who had the Eight-star of a profound practitioner!


    "How could this be? How could this be?" Xiao Muran simply could not believe that just now, he had been forced back by a five star Heavenly Spirit Master, and it was even without any suspense. "Su Xiruo, just what vicious method did you use?"


    Su Xiruo looked at him in the eye with an innocent face: "Xiao Muran, I have already accepted your request and accepted your move. Could it be that you are unwilling to accept your defeat?"


    Xiao Muran curled his fingers tightly, he could not believe that a five star Heavenly Spirit Master could display the power he just displayed, "I suspect that you are cheating!"


    "Do you even have any shame?" At this time, Mu Lingxi could no longer bear to continue watching. Standing out to speak, he said, "It''s fine to bully a girl whose strength is lower than yours, but to refuse to admit defeat even if you lose, Xiao Muran, I feel ashamed for you!"


    In the next second, Xiao Muran''s face flushed red. He wanted to refute, but he could not find any reason to do so, after all, he was the one who dug the pit, and now, he had jumped in again.


    "I admit defeat!" Finally, Xiao Muran gave a cold snort, and had no choice but to acknowledge this result, "Su Xiruo, you''ve won this time. I want to see what ability you have to be able to organize the entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three!"


    At least, in Xiao Muran''s heart, the little girl Su Xiruo didn''t have the ability to organise anything, she was just lucky this time, as long as he performed well during the mission, he would definitely be able to win back all the people he lost.


    Throwing this sentence down, because of his face, Xiao Muran left the hall, the entire atmosphere of the hall seemed to have eased up.


    Su Xiruo''s gaze fell on Bai Yanxi and Nangong Yi who were sitting at the side. "What about you two?"


    After all, the two of them were the same person as Xiao Muran previously, so now, it would be better to know the attitude of the two of them.


    Nangong Yi raised his head and smiled towards Su Xiruo. He was clearly trying to express friendliness, "Xiruo, you should also know that Yan Xi and I are both relatively neutral. Since you''re the leader of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three now, we naturally will listen to you."


    Following that, Bai Yanxi also nodded his head.


    Su Xiruo knew that the two of them had the mindset of not wanting to cause trouble, and in most cases, they would follow the flow. Although they would not do anything too excessive, but they did not have a firm stand.


    Towards such a person, Su Xiruo had long known how to use the right medicine, thus he said to the two of them: "Since you two have said so, then let me tell you two, as long as you do not betray me, I will not interfere no matter what you two want to do!"


    This was her bottom line. If she did not even have the most basic of trust, then there was no need for her to interact with these two people.


    "Yes." The two of them nodded their heads like chicks pecking rice grains, and expressed their attitudes, "Xiruo, since you''re the future leader of this Heavenly Ranked Class Three, we will definitely listen to you and not act wantonly!"


    She''s still considered obedient, Su Xiruo thought. She was already satisfied that she could do this.


    Not long after, the people present in the main hall gradually dispersed. Just as Su Xiruo was about to walk out of the main hall, he walked forward and called out to him: "Qing Xuan."


    Qing Xuan turned his head and looked at her, as if he knew what she was going to say. He instead spoke out first: "No need to thank me, just return the gold that I just lent you."


    Having his intentions guessed right, Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. However, towards his request, he immediately agreed. "No problem."


    But in the next second, Qing Xuan started to become serious: "Just now, I provided a total of 5634 gold coins to all of you, you better return them to me as soon as possible!"


    With his tone, he was afraid that Su Xiruo would not return the favor.


    "I will return 10,000 gold coins to you." Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo agreed readily, "I''ll take it as a thank you gift."


    Qing Xuan was startled, he did not expect Su Xiruo to be so generous to him, but, he did not hold back, and immediately accepted it: "Then thank you very much."

 C89

    "Qing Xuan." At this time, Su Xiruo seemed to have noticed something, "Are you really short on gold coins?"


    This sentence, seemed to suddenly ask Qing Xuan''s heart, but Qing Xuan didn''t directly answer him, as if he wanted to conceal something: "This has nothing to do with you guys, right?"


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment, but just as he was about to say something, Qing Xuan took the lead and said: "We are only working together temporarily, but, I will not interfere with your matters, and I do not wish for you to get involved with my matters."


    With that, Qing Xuan turned and left.


    "This kid, why is he so secretive?" Mu Lingxi looked at his retreating back and couldn''t help but shake his head.


    On the other hand, Su Xiruo felt that this Qing Xuan''s entire body was filled with secrets, but, this had nothing to do with her. They were just cooperating, as long as they worked together happily, they should not think about other things.


    "That''s right, Ruo Ruo, from last night onwards, you disappeared for a day. Where did you go?" Ye Zhuozhuo started to worry about her, "and I thought that something had happened to you, we were both worried to death!"


    Su Xiruo didn''t hide anything. "I made a trip to the border of the Dragon''s Seal."


    "Did you go to my brother?" Ye Zhuozhuo was suddenly curious, "Then it''s such a pity, we just left from the border last night, so we couldn''t meet up with you."


    Su Xiruo laughed and did not continue with the previous topic. Instead, he focused all his attention on the mission this time around: "The day after tomorrow, we will be leaving for the mission. On the last day, let''s make our preparations."


    "I''m ready to go!" Mu Lingxi looked extremely confident.


    "Oh right, that Spirit Beast Mountain Range, can you go there?" Su Xiruo casually asked as though he had other intentions.


    Mu Lingxi thought about it carefully, then nodded: "Before, I went on a mission with Yun Qian, and I went there once or twice."


    Su Xiruo asked while stroking the vine: "Then do you know how high the chances of encountering a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast in that place are?"


    When Mu Lingxi heard these four words, he thought that she was joking with him. He instantly opened his eyes wide, laughed and reminded her, "Xiruo, if we really meet the Seventh Rank Spirit Beast, then we''ll just have to die."


    Did this girl really hope that something like this would happen? This was something that all the mercenaries could not dodge. After all, Seventh Rank Spirit Beasts were the overlords of a region. With their current strength, they probably could not even touch a single strand of hair.


    "You mean, or is it possible?" Su Xiruo''s eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen some hope.


    If she could meet a Spirit Beast in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and increase her own strength, one day, when she hunted that spirit beast, she would be able to obtain a Beast Core and leave it to her father!


    That way, his father wouldn''t force him to hurt Yun Qian.


    "Of course there''s still a chance of meeting one. However, with our current strength, once we discover a place where Seventh Rank spirit beasts might exist, we will think of ways to avoid it!" Mu Lingxi had never thought of provoking a Seventh Rank or spirit beast, he could not afford to either!


    Su Xiruo thoughtfully nodded and did not speak. He seemed to be planning something in his heart.


    "Ruo Ruo, don''t think about provoking a Seventh Rank spirit beast. You will really die miserably!" Ye Zhuozhuo couldn''t help but remind her, afraid that she would break some kind of taboo.


    "Mm, I know what I''m doing. I won''t act recklessly." Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, however, he still kept thinking about this matter.


    If she really met such an opportunity, she would not give it up, but what she needed to do the most was to continuously increase her own strength. That way, even if she met with Seventh Rank spirit beasts, there was nothing to be afraid of.


    Hearing Su Xiruo''s tone, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo looked at each other, feeling that this girl was planning to do something like slashing the sword away.


    Other troubles could still be solved, but if she really did provoke the Seventh Rank Spirit Beast, then they probably wouldn''t be able to help her.


    The damp dungeon was a Vicious Beasts that had lost its mind. Its entire body was entangled by the Venomous Vine and its four limbs were shackled. Although it was constantly struggling, it was still powerless.


    Helian Yunqian stepped lightly into the dungeon, and coldly ordered: "Open the prison door!"


    He wanted to have a good look at where exactly this Vicious Beasts had come from.


    One of the soldiers opened the door and reminded weakly, "General, be careful. This spirit beast is very cruel!"


    Helian Yunqian''s expression did not change as he stepped through the door of the prison. The Vicious Beasts roared at him, its eyes filled with brutality and cold-bloodedness.


    Suddenly, he saw a black fox tail peek out from behind the spirit creature. It was slightly frowning and somewhat puzzled.


    This Vicious Beasts came from the Fox Clan?


    However, other than its signature fox tail, there were no other characteristics of its Fox Clan on its body. It was as if it had mutated and was being controlled by a mysterious power.


    "Mistress, did you notice anything?" Liu Sheng who was at the side, saw his master''s serious expression and could not help but ask.


    Helian Yunqian shook his head slightly: "This matter is related to Orc Clan, and it involves many things. I''m afraid it also involves the Orc Clan of three great gods!"


    "Three great god Orc Clan?" Liu Sheng''s eyes widened, as if he couldn''t believe his own ears. After all, those three great god Orc Clan were all very distant legends.


    In the Orc Clan, the phoenix, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Mermaid s were all known as the three divine Orc Clan. They were three mysterious and powerful special forces and because they rarely negotiated with the Humans, humans rarely encountered them.


    "Yes." Helian Yunqian did not deny it, "This Vicious Beasts has obviously lost its mind. It was controlled by a special Gu technique, this kind of Gu technique, only the three god Orc Clan have it!"


    Liu Sheng was shocked by his words. "If we offend the divine Orc Clan, wouldn''t that mean that the Dragon Seal Empire won''t be far from being destroyed?"


    With the strength of the Divine Orc Clan, wanting to annihilate an empire was not a difficult matter.


    At this time, he saw his master looking at him like he was looking at an idiot, and hurriedly changed his words: "Cough cough, master, with you here, no matter what Divine Orc Clan comes, my master will not be afraid."


    Helian Yunqian was too lazy to talk about this useless stuff with him, he directly went straight to the point: "Send someone to secretly investigate with Orc Clan, and also, with Profound Yin Empire!"


    The last four words he said were exceptionally slow, afraid that Liu Sheng would accidentally miss it.


    "Profound Yin Empire? What does this have to do with Profound Yin Empire? " Liu Sheng didn''t quite understand.


    "The location of the Profound Yin Empire is closest to the Orc Clan, and in these past few years, it has become more and more mysterious. I suspect ¡­" He stopped talking and was probably worried that he had guessed wrongly. "Anyway, you should go and investigate as well."


    Although he did not understand, his master''s decision had never been wrong. Liu Sheng agreed, "Yes, I will immediately send someone to settle this!"


    After he finished speaking, Liu Sheng took the lead and left. However, Helian Yunqian stood in his original spot, staring at the Vicious Beasts''s black fox tail, it was especially dazzling.


    Could it be that this matter really has something to do with Fox Clan?


    The word Fox Clan, was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. It was as if he was far off in the sky, yet close at hand.


    Two days passed by quickly. On the day of the appointed mission, all the students of the Divine Ranked Class had gathered together.


    All the academies were wearing black clothes and masks. This was to avoid exposing their identities and provoking trouble during the mission.


    After all, the identity of a mercenary was the most mysterious and taboo matter. Once their identity was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable!


    At this time, Liang Si was the only teacher left of the Elementary Divine Ranked Class, and it was also out of helplessness. He stood on the stage, looking extremely virtuous and virtuous.


    "You will have to carry out two missions this time!" Liang Si then explained to them, "The first mission is to escort a batch of precious medicinal herbs and gold, because the medicinal herbs that you guys need to escort this time are very precious and in addition to the quantity, they are divided into three groups. The three of you class will head out from different paths, and the final destination will be the same!"

 C90

    The students below the stage were all focused, afraid that they would miss something.


    "As for the second mission, I will give each of you a white jade pendant. When you enter the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, when the Six Rank Spiritual Beast that you have to kill approaches you, the white jade pendant will react." With that, Liang Si got his men to present three white jade pendants, "Your respective leaders, come and receive your jade pendants!"


    As a result, the leaders of the three classes went onto the stage and retrieved the white jade pendant. Although it covered their faces, Su Xiruo could still tell with a glance that the leader of the Divine Ranked Class Two was Gu Jingrou. As for the leader of the Divine Ranked Class One, she did not know, she only knew that it was a man.


    Compared to Divine Ranked Class Two, what Su Xiruo was actually most afraid of was Divine Ranked Class One. Although the people from the second class were always noisy, their overall strength was only so.


    What they were most afraid of was people like Divine Ranked Class One, who were usually low profile, but also had unfathomable strength.


    After distributing the jade pendants, Liang Si gave a few simple instructions, and the three Divine Ranked Class s were respectively arranged at the three exits of the academy.


    Su Xiruo and the rest departed from the side entrance of the academy. When they left the academy, they saw more than twenty boxes being carried on a horse carriage.


    The man appeared to be in his forties, short and fat. He wore a golden suit, accentuating his round figure. His thumb was covered in emerald and gold rings, giving him the appearance of a nouveau riche.


    "I am the employer''s butler, Wang Dafu." "I want to follow you all to the. Your employer this time is the richest in the city, so you all have to be more careful during the transportation. If you lose something, you won''t be able to afford it!"


    His tone was filled with a sense of superiority.


    Amongst the crowd, Nangong Yi could not help but snort coldly, as if he did not put his words in his eyes at all.


    What do you mean, the richest man in the capital, and my father the richest man in Great Gan Empire?


    However, he was still considered his employer, so Su Xiruo was relatively polite. "We will definitely escort you to your destination with all we have, Master Wang.


    With regards to this attitude, Wang Dafu was relatively satisfied. He casually pointed to one of them and said, "You, and you, give me a carriage!"


    Nangong Yi and Bai Yanxi who had been targeted were extremely unwilling, but this was after all an order from their employer, so they could only bite the bullet and agree to it.


    The rest followed Su Xiruo and got on the horse, officially setting off.


    Slow and slow, the group of people had travelled for an entire day and still hadn''t left the desolate mountain outside the Mercenary Academy.


    Not only because Wang Dafu requested for the carriage to move smoothly, on the way, he also had many matters to attend to. He stopped continuously and complained that his journey was too slow.


    Such a journey made everyone feel somewhat impatient.


    "Su Xiruo." Finally, Xiao Muran could no longer hold back and suggested to Su Xiruo, "That guy in the carriage really has a lot of things to do. If this goes on, I''m afraid we will be the last ones to reach our destination."


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, he looked at the situation of the carriage, and before he could speak, a hand reached out from the carriage, Wang Dafu''s voice came out: "Stop!"


    The carriage had no choice but to stop. Wang Dafu opened the curtain of the carriage and complained: "Where are we? Is there anything to eat? "


    Xiao Muran''s fingers tightened into a ball as he walked forward: "Hey, are you done yet? In this wilderness, where are we going to find food for you?"


    "What, you can''t even satisfy this little request of mine?" Wang Dafu''s face suddenly changed, a little unhappy.


    Xiao Muran coldly snorted, "Isn''t it all because of you that we are constantly delaying? Otherwise, we would have long since left this desolate mountain and found an inn to rest!"


    But from the looks of it now, this fellow didn''t have a shred of guilt in his heart.


    "What are you saying?" Wang Dafu was immediately unhappy.


    "I''m talking about you, why?" Xiao Muran didn''t have the slightest hint of fear, "Because you alone dragged so many of us into suffering together with you, and now you actually have the nerve to ask us for food, what are you eating for!?"


    Although normally, Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi did not like this Xiao Muran, this time, they were unexpectedly on Xiao Muran''s side.


    After all, this Wang Dafu was too difficult to deal with.


    "Brilliant, Xiruo." Mu Lingxi whispered into their ears, "Why would I be so happy when Xiao Muran scolded him?"


    "Me too." Ye Zhuozhuo laughed, and also expressed his feelings.


    Although Xiao Muran was hateful, but this time, he at least dared to be straightforward. This point, made them admire him.


    After being scolded by Xiao Muran, Wang Dafu could be considered completely enraged, so he decided to not do anything, and looked for a rock to sit on: "Alright, if you guys don''t bring me food, then I won''t leave today, let''s see what you guys can do."


    "You!" Xiao Muran''s fingers were curled tightly, just as she was about to punch him, she was stopped by Su Xiruo.


    "Lord Wang." Su Xiruo slowly walked closer, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, just perfect.


    Wang Dafu snorted coldly, interrupting her words: "Don''t try to convince me that everything is alright if you don''t meet my requirements!"


    "I don''t want to convince you, I just want to advise you." Su Xiruo lowered his body slightly, signalling for him to take a look at the sky, "Look, the sky is about to darken. If we delay any longer, I''m afraid we''ll have to spend the night in this barren mountain."


    "So what?" When Wang Dafu said these words, he was already somewhat guilty.


    After all, he really didn''t want to spend the night in such a simple place.


    "This desolate mountain is incredibly dangerous. Spirit beasts roam all over the place, and since we have the ability to protect ourselves, we naturally don''t mind." Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, "But if you are not careful and do not have a good impression of you, causing you to lose an arm or a leg, that would be a big matter!"


    Their mission was to protect Wang Dafu''s life, but they did not say that they could not afford to lose an arm or a leg!


    Her tone sounded warm, but the words that came out of her mouth nearly made Wang Dafu lose his soul. She immediately reached out to touch her arm that was still there, and she even stuttered when she spoke: "You ¡­ Don''t try to scare me! "


    "I''m not trying to scare you. I''m just advising you." Su Xiruo said in an indifferent tone, "If you still insist on staying the night in this desolate mountain, then there''s no harm."


    Then, she purposely instructed the rest of the group, "Everyone, make some preparations. We will spend the night on this barren mountain."


    "No, no, no!" Finally, Wang Dafu could not help but stand up and stop Su Xiruo, "Cough cough, let''s hurry, it''s too cold out in the wilderness!"


    He purposely found a way out of this predicament. Even if he was hungry, he could only bear with it as his life was the most important. If he were to lose his life because of some insignificant matter, it would not be worth it!


    Su Xiruo even deliberately asked him: "Then are you not going to eat anymore?"


    It was a very polite tone, but it was clearly taunting.


    "It won''t be too late to eat after we leave this barren mountain." There was no place for Wang Dafu to vent his anger and he could only return to his carriage and didn''t dare to say anything else.


    "Let''s continue on our way." Su Xiruo then gave the order.


    As the group set off normally, Mu Lingxi couldn''t help but whisper to them: "Xiruo, you sure have a way. That person who was looking just now was scared black out of his face.


    Xiao Muran, who was at the side, had a darkened face. His opinion of Su Xiruo, this girl, had actually changed a little.


    However, he immediately rejected it.


    If he didn''t have a tongue that could speak, then his true strength would be inferior to his.


    Hence, at the moment, Su Xiruo this girl, was still not able to make him convinced!

 C91

    Ever since Wang Dafu returned to the carriage, it had become abnormally quiet, and did not yell at them again. Even his ears had become a lot quieter.


    Soon, they crossed the barren mountain and landed in a small town on the far side of the mountain.


    What was strange was that although the sky had darkened, it was not too late. However, there was not a single person on this street. The shops were all tightly shut, and the atmosphere was very strange.


    "Strange, is this a ghost city? Why can''t I see anyone here?" Mu Lingxi looked around, puzzled.


    At this time, Wang Dafu opened the curtain of the carriage and asked: "Then, where should we stay tonight?"


    This was already the tenth time he had asked such a question. Everyone was probably driven mad by his question!


    Based on the current situation, it would be impossible to find an inn to stay at.


    "Shut up, we''re looking." Ye Zhuozhuo interrupted him, as though she did not want to hear any more of his nagging.


    "Look, an inn is open up ahead." At this time, Qing Xuan''s gaze landed on a light that was not far ahead. "Today, we have a place to stay."


    "That''s weird, why is it only open in this place?" Su Xiruo muttered, as though he was suspecting something, but seeing that they were all so happy, he followed along.


    Entering the tavern, but there was no sign of life, all he saw were over 10 corpses lying around. Ye Zhuozhuo, who was the first to run in, was shocked and immediately ran back into Mu Lingxi''s embrace.


    The rest of them went up to check on the corpse. It was stiff, and its face was ashen. The blood in its body seemed to have been sucked dry. It looked like it was about to die.


    It was as if he had died a long time ago.


    Su Xiruo looked carefully and found that there was a sinister wound on the deceased''s neck. She must have died from being drained of blood, which meant that, near the town, there were many spirit beasts that drank human blood!


    "This should all be the work of the spirit beasts. It seems that most of the people in this small town have already moved out, or have lost their lives." Su Xiruo explained to them.


    Looking at the furnishings in the inn, one could tell that many places had already been covered in dust. It was obvious that no one had come for a long time.


    In other words, this small town could be considered to have become a real ghost town, with only a few people living inside.


    "Right." Just then, Xiao Muran suddenly thought of something, "I have indeed heard that there is a uninhabited region behind the mountains, and that there lived to absorb human blood. I had only heard of it once, but I did not expect that it was actually true!"


    "Then what should we do?" Ye Zhuozhuo panicked a little, and said, "Let''s avoid this place as soon as possible. There are no people here, and it''s not for fun!"


    Even if she took a detour, she didn''t want to face this uninhabited mountain range directly.


    "Yeah, I also think that we don''t need to fight those spirit beasts directly. Mu Lingxi then brought up his own suggestion, "However, it''s already very late today, since the little town is rather far away from Mt. "Xiruo, what do you think?"


    After thinking for a moment, Su Xiruo agreed, "Alright."


    After all, if the six of them were only spirit bats coming, they would still be able to cope with the six Heavenly Spirit Master attacks.


    However, Wang Dafu was a little displeased: "This damned place is too scary. No, we must have someone keeping watch, otherwise, I won''t be able to sleep!"


    Hearing this, everyone wanted to slap him.


    "Don''t worry, there will be people keeping watch." Xiao Muran said snappily, "But the main thing is not to guard you, it''s to guard the medicinal ingredients and gold."


    Their mission was to escort the medicinal ingredients and gold in, to escort Wang Dafu, but it was only to do so on the way. They never thought that this guy would really take them seriously, even going so far as to give him someone to watch over him.


    "Qing Xuan, Nangong Yi." Su Xiruo instructed indifferently, "Today, the two of you will take turns to stand guard. After the others clean up the corpse, you should go and rest."


    After settling down, just as Su Xiruo was about to go rest, he saw a black figure slowly approaching from outside, wearing a silver white mask, with his head lowered.


    Su Xiruo could not see the other party''s face clearly, but from the figure, it should be a woman.


    Just when she had made all the preparations and raised her vigilance, the other party took off her mask. "Sister Cyril, it''s me!"


    "Su Biyue." Seeing Su Biyue, Su Xiruo was surprised: "What are you doing here?"


    Their Divine Ranked Class Two should have taken another route, so to be able to see Su Biyue here, it was really strange. Could it be that their Divine Ranked Class Two had sent them here to gather information?


    In short, they did not come with good intentions!


    "Sister Cyril, don''t misunderstand, I have no ill intentions." Su Biyue knew that she suspected him, and immediately displayed a sincere look, "The reason why I''m here, is not because I''m entrusted to it by Senior Sister Gu Jingrou. On the contrary, I''m here to help you guys."


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally: Why did you come to help us?


    "Sister Cyril, I''ve long since said that in my heart, I''ve always treated you as a friend." Su Biyue walked a little closer, looked into her eyes, and said, "Even though I was unfortunate enough to not be in the same class as you, I have been thinking about you the entire time. Even if I have offended you with Divine Ranked Class Two, I want to tell you this matter!"


    "What is it? Tell me!" Su Xiruo was curious as to what she wanted to tell him.


    Su Biyue looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then sat down and lowered his voice: "Tonight, I accidentally heard Senior Sister Gu Jingrou and the others discussing that they were coming to ambush you, so I rushed here overnight to call you guys over. It''s because I hope that we can all be friendly, and I don''t want anyone to be injured!"


    Her tone of voice was filled with righteousness, but it did not affect Su Xiruo in the slightest.


    The Academy does not have a rule that we cannot ambush each other. Since that''s the case, you do not need to come and tell me about this. I will not be grateful to you, and you may also lose Gu Jingrou''s trust. She had a nagging feeling that Su Biyue was up to no good.


    Su Biyue bit his lower lip, he did not think that she would have such an attitude, and after a moment of awkwardness, he forced a smile: "Sister Cyril, no matter how you think of me, I only have one final goal, and that is to let everyone be alright. If you think that I can trust you, I''m very happy, but if you think that I can''t, then you can choose to not believe me."


    Her meaning was simple. If she was willing to believe it, she would believe it. If she wasn''t willing to believe it, then so be it.


    "Su Biyue, you should return quickly." Su Xiruo tactfully ordered them to leave, "If we were to be late, I''m afraid we would be suspected."


    "Thank you for your concern, sister. I won''t stay any longer." Su Biyue laughed, then turned and left the empty inn.


    Su Biyue looked at Su Biyue''s back, and sank into deep thought.


    Even though she did not really believe Su Biyue''s words, but for this kind of thing, she would rather believe it than not. If by any chance, Su Biyue was sent by them to scout the situation, wouldn''t her whereabouts be completely exposed?


    "Xiruo." Suddenly, Qing Xuan''s voice came out from behind her.


    Su Xiruo turned his head around, only to see Qing Xuan frowning slightly as he asked: "Who were you talking to just now?


    Just now, he seemed to have heard something, but as soon as he came over, he didn''t see anyone else.


    "He has already left, but I''m afraid we won''t be able to sleep peacefully tonight." Su Xiruo seemed to have an idea in his mind.


    "What do you mean?" Qing Xuan did not understand.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo explained the reason simply, "People from the Divine Ranked Class Two may come to intercept our medicinal ingredients in the dead of the night. Although they might not come, it is still necessary for them to do some preparations!"


    "How despicable." Hearing that, Qing Xuan was also furious, he immediately asked: "Then what do you plan to do?"


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted, and from within the Storage Ring, he took out something that looked like a black seed, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Since they want to come, then I''ll properly serve them!"

 C92

    "What is this?" This black seed immediately aroused Qing Xuan''s curiosity.


    Su Xiruo did not explain anything and threw the black seed into the air. A wave of Spiritual Strength entered, and in an instant, the seed seemed to have received some kind of stimulation, it frantically spread out, forming a large black net, which seemed to wrap around the entire inn.


    A bizarre and sinister aura followed one after another. Qing Xuan seemed to have guessed something, and asked anxiously: "Don''t tell me you want to lure those spirit bats that drink human blood over here on purpose?"


    "Borrowing a knife to kill someone, I guess I have to do it." Su Xiruo snorted, and did not deny his words.


    If Gu Jingrou really sent people here to ambush them, then she would be fully prepared to let them fight with the spirit bats and solve two problems in an instant.


    "It''s a pretty good idea, but it''s too risky ¡­" Qing Xuan was still a little worried.


    This Spirit Bat was not a joke. What if something happened and it involved them as well?


    "Therefore, we should make use of the time we have right now to set up a layer of Barrier outside this inn." Su Xiruo naturally had his own ideas in his heart, and also thought of the appropriate response.


    Qing Xuan''s eyes lit up. Listening to her words, it seemed that it was also a viable option, but this girl really did not take the normal route.


    But, Qing Xuan did not have any objections, he just had to follow the Leader''s arrangements: Un, then come!


    Two different Spiritual Strength s gushed out, one Yin and one Yang, quickly forming a thin Barrier, enveloping the entire inn. That Barrier seemed weak, but it was actually indestructible!


    After he was done, Qing Xuan sat down on a chair to the side, and acted as if he had inadvertently asked her: "Xiruo ¡­ "Tell me, if we can smoothly complete the two missions this time, how many gold coins will we get from the academy?"


    Although his tone was very casual, but Su Xiruo heard him and realized that this youth''s emotions were in turmoil.


    Why did Qing Xuan care so much about the gold coins?


    However, she knew that he didn''t want to tell her yet, so she chose not to ask. "I don''t know either, but as long as I can complete it successfully, it shouldn''t be too few."


    "Yes." Qing Xuan curled his fingers tightly, his eyes seemed to have become much clearer upon hearing her say that he might get a lot of gold.


    Following that, Qing Xuan changed the topic and said, "Xiruo, you should go rest. I''ll guard this place.


    "No need. I think we''re destined to be unable to have peace tonight. I''ll keep watch with you." Su Xiruo probably felt that someone from the Divine Ranked Class Two would definitely come.


    Qing Xuan laughed, and did not decline, and the two of them sat facing each other, talking about some insignificant things.


    Deep in the night, Qin Zichen brought Yu Li and Su Biyue to the inn, and the three of them covered their faces, making it hard to see their faces.


    "Are we really going to fight?" Su Biyue trembled as he asked, "They have a lot of people. If we were to be discovered, we might not be their match."


    "Why are you so stubborn?" Yu Li could not help but glare at her, "Didn''t I already tell you guys that I''m from Poison Master? Poison Master wants to kill someone, there is no need to go head to head with them!"


    When Yu Li said those words, her heart was filled with pride, as though she had a sense of superiority.


    Su Biyue was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface, he still flattered her. "Sister Yue Li, then tonight, we will all depend on you!"


    "Hmph, let''s wait and see." From the Storage Ring, Yu Li took out a bottle of delicately packaged poison, "You will know in a while that I''m not joking with you guys."


    Who knew that just as they finished speaking, they felt something strange. A chaotic and terrifying Spiritual Strength was quickly approaching, and they instantly had a bad premonition.


    "Wait, why do I feel like there''s danger approaching?" Qin Zichen frowned slightly. He unsheathed his blade and became extremely vigilant.


    Suddenly, he saw a large black mass attack him from not far away. Within the black mass, there were spots of blood-red mixed in. Sharp cries cut through the air.


    Ah!" Before she could even react, a cut appeared on Yu Li''s neck, and in the next second, her vision began to spin, becoming more and more blurry, and her four limbs seemed to be powerless.


    "What is this? How could there be a spirit beast in this place!? " Qin Zichen was immediately shocked, and immediately went on full alert, killing a few of them consecutively.


    As for Su Biyue, she was not too surprised with this Spirit Bat, the moment the Spirit Bats appeared, she immediately retreated, found a relatively safe place and hid herself.


    Qin Zichen had been entangled with the spirit bat for a long time, but he realised that the spirit beasts were endless, and no matter what, he could not kill them all, so Qin Zichen could only bring Yu Li and escape!


    Su Biyue hid in the shadows, looking at the tavern not far away, coldly snorted and thought, Su Xiruo, oh Su Xiruo, this time, you should be thanking me properly.


    But, she did not dare to stay here for too long, so she quickly followed Qin Zichen and left.


    Only after running for an unknown distance did they completely shake off the Spirit Bat and stop.


    "What happened to Sister Yue Li?" Su Biyue asked worriedly when he saw that Yu Li was unconscious. Her lips had already turned black.


    "He must have been poisoned by that Spirit Bat." Qin Zichen curled his fingers tightly, he was a little angry, "Such a great opportunity, but it was actually buried just like that!"


    He was not willing to give up. He was just one step away and they could have seized all of his Heavenly Ranked Class Three in one fell swoop.


    "Alright, brother Zi Chen." "There''s no use getting upset now, the most important thing is still Sister Yue Li''s injuries. We should hurry back, maybe Senior Sister Gu can find a way to cure Sister Yue Li''s poison!"


    Qin Zichen snorted coldly, not caring in the slightest, he even harbored resentment towards Yu Li.


    She had originally thought that just because she was strong, she would brag about her status as the Poison Master, but now, she was dragging their backs!


    Su Biyue sneaked a glance at Qin Zichen and saw the impatience in his eyes, and knew that he was angry, he continued to provoke him, "I did not expect it just now either, I thought that Sister Yue Li, as a Poison Master, was not afraid of those spirit bats at all. Who knew, it was actually Sister Yue Li who was bitten first, this was only an accident, brother Zi Chen, don''t be angry."


    The more Su Biyue said this, the more unhappy he became in his heart. "You ignorant fellow, if you want to mind my own business, I will not care about her life and death!"


    With that, Qin Zichen angrily took the lead to leave.


    Su Biyue laughed, as though he was hoping to see their relationship get worse, he looked at Yu Li who was lying on the ground and said: "Yu Li, you have to thank me, if he does not save you, then I will save you!"


    Inside the tavern, seeing the waves of Spiritual Strength outside, Su Xiruo and Qing Xuan sat on the spot as if they were watching a show, calmly drinking their tea.


    "Xiruo, they really came. Heh, luckily, we were prepared. Otherwise, we would have truly fallen into their trap." Qing Xuan''s tone showed that he was rejoicing.


    "Unfortunately, they are too fast. If they had stayed longer, they would have been able to help us kill more or less the spirit bats." Su Xiruo shook her head slightly, as if she had not completely fulfilled her expectations.


    However, her heart was especially happy as she saw her Divine Ranked Class Two deflated.


    Qing Xuan then suggested: "That''s nothing, we''ll set off early tomorrow morning. We''ll just take a detour and leave this troublesome place."


    Even if they could take the risk, it would not be worth it if anything were to happen to the medicinal plant.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded, "In four more hours, you can go and inform them to set off."


    This kind of place was only suitable for temporarily settling down. If he stayed here, his heart would not be at ease!

 C93

    The sky had just started to brighten, and Su Xiruo woke up in a daze from his sleep. He realized that he was wearing a coat, and upon closer inspection, it should have been Qing Xuan''s clothes.


    Probably because she was too tired, she fell asleep right away on the table.


    "Xiruo." Just then, Mu Lingxi ran down from the stairs as if there was something urgent, "Wang Dafu, he ¡­. It''s gone! "


    "What?" Su Xiruo was shocked by his words, and immediately became clear-headed, "Why did he disappear all of a sudden?"


    Ye Zhuozhuo, who was standing at the side, said: "It might have been him running out by himself, when A Xi went to call him over just now, he kept saying that the golden ruyi he carried with him had accidentally landed on the road, and now, he might have gone to look for it himself!"


    Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tight, his heart was so distracted that he had almost reached his peak.


    At such a critical moment, and at such a crucial location, such a disturbance actually occurred. If something really happened, who knows how long it would take.


    Therefore, she said coldly, "Split up and search for him. He shouldn''t be far away. We must find him within an hour!"


    At this moment, the only thing they could do was to go find the people they wanted to kill. Then, the crowd began to move forward.


    Just as Su Xiruo was about to go out, he saw a figure flash past the sky outside the inn. Looking carefully, he saw that Wang Dafu''s body was being bound by a group of spirit bats, accompanied by his unceasing shouts.


    "Hurry up and save me ¡­ Hurry and save me! "


    Immediately, she raised her delicate eyebrows and leaped up to give chase. Numerous concealed weapons flew out from her sleeves, bringing with them a powerful force as they pierced down the Spirit Bat one by one.


    Wang Dafu seemed to have lost balance as his body fell from the sky. Su Xiruo raised his hand and a light Spiritual Strength supported his body, preventing him from falling to the ground miserably.


    "Sir Wang!" Su Xiruo walked up, but saw that Wang Dafu''s face changed, his lips turned pitch black, as though he was poisoned.


    Upon a closer look, there was a single bite wound on his neck. He looked incredibly ferocious.


    At this time, Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo had caught up with them. Seeing that Su Xiruo was alright, they felt more at ease.


    "This fellow is poisoned!" Ye Zhuozhuo curled his fingers tightly and said worriedly, "What should I do? With my current medical skills, I''m afraid I can only say that I''m powerless against the poison of the Spirit Bat."


    "He''s really asking for trouble!" Mu Lingxi was immediately furious, "There was originally no trouble at all, he was just about to give us some trouble."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, thought for a moment, and faced the poison, he remained cautious: "Don''t be anxious, don''t move him, I have a way to cure the poison!"


    "Do you have a way?" Ye Zhuozhuo immediately revealed a surprised expression, but she remembered, if she was not a doctor, where would she find a way to detoxify Wang Dafu?


    "Yes." Su Xiruo nodded her head slightly, she took out a golden hairpin and pierced it into the acupuncture points around Wang Dafu''s neck. Immediately, enchanting blood flowed out, following that, she found a bottle of venom from the Storage Ring and poured it on the wound.


    Immediately, the skin on the wound began to corrode, making it look somewhat dazzling.


    The two of them watched by the side, their mouths opening and closing, as though they were looking at a miracle. Just as Ye Zhuozhuo was confused why would they do such a thing, black blood started to flow out of the wound.


    And Wang Dafu''s complexion, slowly began to recover as well.


    "Use poison to attack poison!" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to have understood something, he bit his lower lip, and actually started to panic a little.


    Usually, only the Poison Master would use a method like this, and if Ruo Ruo was actually familiar with it, it would be obvious that it was not the first time.


    Could it be, if it was a Poison Master? However, he had never heard Ruo Ruo mention this before!


    "Alright, take him back to the inn and splash a bucket of cold water on his face!" Su Xiruo got up, and towards this Wang Dafu, he did not have any good impressions.


    Such a troublesome employer ¡­ There shouldn''t be much left to deal with. To be willing to save his life was already being benevolent.


    On the other side, Su Biyue brought Yu Li back and told Gu Jingrou the entire process tearfully. Of course, on the surface, she was talking while protecting Yu Li, but in reality, she was trying to sow discord.


    "Senior Sister Gu." Su Biyue had a helpless look on his face, "No matter what kind of situation Big Sister Yue Li has caused us, she is still a victim. You have to think of a way to save her!"


    Gu Jingrou shook his head: "Cangyu said that she has no other choice. I''m not a doctor, what else can I do?"


    Even their only physician couldn''t find any way to treat the poison, so what else could he do?


    Su Biyue suddenly thought of something, as if he had thought of something, "Maybe, we can go look for Su Xiruo and the others, they should have a way!"


    "Why are you looking for them?" Qin Zichen was immediately discontented, "You think this is not embarrassing enough? We already made them laugh, so we can''t beg them anymore! "


    Gu Jingrou frowned slightly: "Alright, all of you shut up!"


    Then, she asked Su Biyue, "Bi Yue, why do you think that Su Xiruo has a way when he doesn''t even have a doctor for his Heavenly Ranked Class Three?"


    Su Biyue laughed, and naturally did not dare to reveal her identity as a Poison Master. After all, she still wanted to win Su Xiruo over.


    Thus, she opened her mouth and said, "You guys might not know, but the Ye Zhuozhuo that they pulled over from the Heavenly Ranked Class doesn''t look impressive, but his medical skills are great. He definitely has a way to save Sister Yue Li!"


    "Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Cangyu, who was at the side, could not bear to listen any longer, "I can''t even do anything to a Profound Rank doctor. As a Spiritual Ranked doctor, what other abilities can she have?"


    She only felt that she could not let down her pride. If she allowed a Spiritual Ranked Doctor to do something that she could not do as a Profound Rank Doctor, then where would she put her pride?


    "Right now, Sister Yue Li is in danger. If we don''t try, then there will be no hope at all." Su Biyue was quite good with words, "Senior Sister Gu, why not let''s try it out?"


    After a moment of hesitation, Gu Jingrou was also worried that something might happen, so he agreed: "Alright."


    "Crash ~ ~ ~"


    Pouring a bucket of cold water down, Wang Dafu''s body twitched for a moment, but he did not move. Following that, Xiao Muran poured another bucket of cold water on him, causing him to cough a few times, and then he woke up.


    "My baby, did you get my baby back?" When Wang Dafu opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to remember about his own gold.


    "You''re about to die, what treasure are you thinking of?" Xiao Muran rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, "If you say anymore, we''ll feed you to the Spirit Bat in a while, let them suck your blood!"


    Wang Dafu trembled in fear at these words. He was slightly unhappy in his heart: "What kind of attitude is this?"


    "Lord Wang." Su Xiruo opened his mouth, "If you want to look for your treasures, then go by yourself. This time, we will not stop you, but if something happens, it has nothing to do with us.


    Hearing her words, Wang Dafu''s finger bones tightened, he was extremely furious, but under such a dangerous situation, it was indeed as they had said, he might die for her.


    Just at this time, Gu Jingrou and Su Biyue had brought Yu Li over, and two figures directly appeared in front of them.


    "What are you doing here?" Immediately, everyone was on high alert, and even their weapons were ready.


    "Don''t misunderstand." Gu Jingrou immediately used a very friendly tone, "Yue Li was poisoned by the Spirit Bat''s venom, so we had no choice but to seek your help!"


    Although he was unwilling in his heart, in order to show that he was the responsible leader, Gu Jingrou had to endure for now.


    Mu Lingxi coldly glanced at them: "Your people have been poisoned, what does that have to do with us? If not for your narrow-mindedness and the fact that you wanted to take advantage of it and attack us, how could you have fallen into your own trap? "


    This Gu Jingrou, wasn''t she a little too naive, thinking that they could stop looking into everything that had happened previously?


    When Su Xiruo''s eyes met Su Biyue, he already knew, it should be Su Biyue''s way of telling them to come find him, if not, how would the others know his identity as a Poison Master?

 C94

    What exactly did this Su Biyue mean? Could it be that he wanted everyone to know his identity as a Poison Master?


    Su Biyue noticed the look in Su Xiruo''s eyes, and explained with a smile: "Lil Sing-jie, your medical skills are outstanding, you must have a way to save Big Sister Yue Li. If you show such kindness this time, we Divine Ranked Class Two will owe you a favor!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo was stunned by her words. He was afraid he was helpless against this poison.


    Then, without waiting for them to speak, Gu Jingrou knelt down first, and spoke politely: "Su Xiruo, I know, there are many grievances between us previously, but this time, life and death are at stake, if you can save me, just treat it as me, Gu Jingrou, owing you a favor. In the future, if you have any conditions, just tell me!"


    Su Xiruo laughed. Gu Jingrou''s personality was proud and aloof, being able to do such a thing was truly unexpected, thus, she agreed to it slowly: "Bring Yu Li in, Zhi Zun, you go treat her!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo was startled, facing Su Xiruo''s eyes, he instantly understood her meaning: "Okay."


    After walking a few steps, she continued, "Ruo Ruo, I need someone to give me a hand."


    "I''ll go with you." Su Xiruo stood up and followed him.


    This teamwork was extremely natural, even Gu Jingrou was not able to find any clues. After all, right now she was only anxious and couldn''t care less about anything else.


    Although she herself did not care about Yu Li''s life, it was different now. They were a Mercenary Group, and she was the leader.


    So, no matter what, she couldn''t let any of the members get into trouble.


    The two of them waited anxiously for an hour. Finally, Ye Zhuozhuo and Su Xiruo came out of the room, and Yu Li also came out. Other than her pale face, she did not look like she was poisoned anymore.


    "Sister Yue Li, you''re okay!" Su Biyue''s face was filled with joy as he walked forward and pulled Yu Li''s hand. After that, he did not forget to praise Ye Zhuozhuo, "Brilliant Little Sister, you''re so awesome, I knew that there are no problems that you can''t solve!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo revealed an awkward smile. He kept having the feeling that Su Biyue''s tone was extremely fake.


    However, Yu Li did not look good towards Su Biyue, and threw her hand away: "Don''t speak to me like that!"


    She remembered that when the Spirit Bat came last night, Su Biyue ran the fastest, and now he was pretending to be concerned about her.


    "Yue Li, don''t you know your wrongs?" Gu Jingrou frowned and started to get angry.


    Facing Gu Jingrou, Yu Li''s attitude immediately softened. Lowering her head, she said softly: "Senior Sister Gu."


    Gu Jingrou merely gave her a cold stare before continuing to express his gratitude, "It''s all thanks to you two this time around, which saved Yue Li''s life. Ye Zhuozhuo, I had previously underestimated you, but who would have thought that the Profound Rank Class would also produce such a genius."


    Ye Zhuozhuo snorted: "I told you long ago not to look down on people."


    "Right, as well as my promise just now, I will definitely keep it." Gu Jingrou was still quite trustworthy, "Su Xiruo, in the future, if anything happens to your Heavenly Ranked Class Three, you can come and help me as much as you want.


    "If that''s the case, then I won''t be polite." Su Xiruo did not reject her either. After all, she felt that she deserved it.


    "Then we''ll leave first." After Gu Jingrou finished speaking, he turned around and scolded Yu Li: "Why aren''t you leaving yet, do you want to continue to lose face here?"


    This time, their Divine Ranked Class Two had been utterly humiliated. Not only had they failed in their ambush, they had even come to seek their Heavenly Ranked Class Three for help.


    "Hmph." Yu Li was so angry that she stomped her feet, fiercely glared at Su Xiruo, and followed Gu Jingrou out.


    After a period of rest, they departed from the inn as well. In order to avoid that terrifying and desolate mountain range, they had made a detour. Although they had travelled a lot further, they were still able to avoid any obstacles along the way.


    Roughly five days later, they were already approaching the border of Great Gan Empire, and were getting further and further away from their destination. However, at this moment, a piece of news that wasn''t too good for them came from the academy.


    Divine Ranked Class One, had already completed the first mission, and safely escorted the medicinal ingredients to the Great Gan Empire.


    After finding out about this news, the other two Divine Ranked Class s exploded into an uproar. It was only then that they realized the disparity between their Divine Ranked Class One s and theirs.


    "Before this, we had always been focusing our attention on the Divine Ranked Class Two, but we had forgotten about Divine Ranked Class One, the true opponent." Xiao Muran frowned slightly. He was quite worried about this matter.


    In fact, right now, Divine Ranked Class Two and the strength of the third class were roughly the same, but their strength was still far inferior.


    But there were only two spirit beasts that needed to be hunted. In other words, they had to compete with Divine Ranked Class Two, and only compete with Divine Ranked Class Two!


    "It''s no use worrying about anything now." Mu Lingxi was rather relaxed, "Let''s do what we need to do first. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to enter the borders of the Great Gan Empire today."


    Nangong Yi, who was born in Great Gan Empire, nodded: "As long as we cross another glacier, we will enter the realm of Great Gan Empire."


    This ice river was located at the border of the Great Gan Empire and was constantly covered in ice and frost, making it unfathomably beautiful. Not a single grass or tree had bloomed and bore fruit, so it was known as an ice river.


    On the side of the Ice River, the cold wind assaulted their faces. There were many merchants who rented a boat, so Nangong Yi rented a boat and shipped all the goods to the ship.


    "Nangong Yi, are you sure this is an ice river without any other dangers?" Bai Yanxi was not at ease, and asked him this question.


    "Don''t worry." Nangong Yi said confidently, "I have walked this path for more than ten years and have never encountered any problems."


    Hearing what Nangong Yi said, they felt more at ease. After all, there were indeed a lot of people coming and going.


    However, just as the boat entered the middle of the ice river, it was noticed that something was off. The entire boat began to shake.


    "What happened? What''s going on? " Wang Dafu, who was sitting inside the boat, was completely terrified by the sudden change.


    "It''s nothing. It''s just the wind, what''s the fuss about?" Nangong Yi couldn''t help but turn around and scold him. In his heart, he had long been impatient towards this troublesome fellow.


    However, the boat started to shake more and more violently. Mu Lingxi pulled Ye Zhuozhuo into his embrace, "That''s not right, why do I feel like there''s something wrong?"


    All of a sudden, a boat in front of them was overturned by the waves. The people on the boat all sank into the river, and in an instant, many ships sank due to the waves, as if something strange had happened.


    "There''s something under the water!" Qing Xuan frowned slightly. Right after he finished speaking, a huge drake''s tail came out from the water and landed heavily on the boat, smashing it into two.


    "It''s over, it''s over. Quickly protect the medicinal herbs!" Wang Dafu immediately ordered, but he himself was scared to death, he only dared to hide inside the boat and not come out.


    The weapons were all out, Xiao Muran used his blade to slash at the dragon''s tail, causing the entire dragon tail to fall. In the next second, it seemed as though it had angered the spirit beasts in the water, and the spirit beasts rushed out of the water with a strong impact, sending Xiao Muran flying.


    "Hey, didn''t you just say it was safe here? Is this what you meant by safe? " Bai Yanxi was dazzled by what he saw, and started to blame Nangong Yi.


    Nangong Yi was also at a loss, but was even more shocked: "I don''t know either, such a thing has never happened to me before!"


    "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility!" Qing Xuan coldly warned them, "Quickly, create a Barrier to protect the medicinal ingredients first!"


    If anything happened to the medicinal ingredients, they would be considered to have wasted all their efforts.


    At such a critical juncture, they had no choice but to listen to Qing Xuan''s words and use the Spiritual Strength to set up a temporary Barrier.

 C95

    The surroundings were in a state of chaos. The demonic beasts were eating away at the boats, causing endless screams, breaking of the boats, and the furious roars of the demonic beasts!


    The temporary Barrier had barely blocked the dragon fish''s attack, but right now, they were right in the middle of the ice river, very far away from both sides. It would probably be very difficult for them to smoothly reach the shore.


    "If we don''t get rid of this dragon fish, it''ll be hard for us to get ashore!" Mu Lingxi''s fingers tightened into a ball, as his expression became gloomy.


    In an instant, a draconic tail, carrying a tyrannical force, charged over, instantly striking the Barrier that they had just set up, creating a crack. The impact was extremely strong!


    It looks like this Serpent Dragon Fish is extremely powerful, to the point where it can actually break through the Barrier set up by the combined Heavenly Spirit Master of several people.


    "What should we do?" In my opinion, this Barrier cannot withstand more than a few attacks! " Ye Zhuozhuo saw all of this and kept it in his heart. After all, he couldn''t do anything.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    Once again, the dragon''s tail slammed down, causing the Barrier to completely collapse. Seeing that the dragon''s tail was about to attack the medicinal ingredients on the ship, Mu Lingxi immediately went forward and raised his hand.


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones were curled tightly, the Can Meng took action, cutting off the dragon tail. The rest of them were also facing an endless flood dragon fish, obviously unable to handle them.


    As for the dragon fish, they immediately focused most of their attention on Su Xiruo, madly strangling him and chasing him down. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she wouldn''t be able to handle it even if she did have three heads and six arms. In the end, she was forced into a corner with nowhere to run.


    ''This is strange. Why is it that these dragon fishes are only against me? Could it be that there is something special about her that is able to attract those dragon fishes? ''


    Seeing that countless Spiritual Strength s were attacking at the same time, Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, planning to fight to the death with them. But then a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and instantly scattered all the dragon fish.


    Su Xiruo turned into a golden kite, flying out of her sleeves and landing on the back of the golden kite. In the next second, the golden kite streaked across the sky.


    "Mu Jin!" Su Xiruo thought that Mu Jin''s speed of saving the situation was indeed timely, and hurriedly said to the people on the boat, "Quick, transport the ingredients over!"


    As for the remaining people, because of the urgent situation, they couldn''t be surprised even if they saw a flying spirit beast. They hurriedly followed along and transported all the medicinal ingredients onto the back of the golden kite, while Su Xiruo rode the golden kite into the air, flying away from the river of ice with the intention to transport the medicinal ingredients to a safe location.


    After all, everyone else had the ability to protect themselves.


    However, just as she ascended into the air, she attracted all the attention of the Wyrm Fish. Countless sharp scales attacked Su Xiruo''s back, but before she could make a move, Jin Yuan flapped her wings, with a light wave, she instantly repelled the scales.


    Afterwards, Su Xiruo safely landed on the ground, and Jin Yuan turned into her human form, appearing in front of Su Xiruo.


    "Mu Jin, you''re injured." Su Xiruo slightly frowned, obviously slightly worried.


    Mu Jin immediately shook his head: "I''m fine, Master, you''re not hurt, right?"


    "Nope." Just now, she was protected by Mu Jin and was not harmed in the slightest.


    "It''s good that you''re not hurt, I''ll go save them then!" As long as he could do something for his master, Mu Jin would be extremely happy. Without waiting for her consent, he disappeared in front of Su Xiruo like a wisp of smoke.


    Su Xiruo watched as Mu Jin transformed into a golden kite and dashed towards a group of dragon fish. She was extremely worried, but she couldn''t leave now.


    However, as Six Rank Spiritual Beast s, it was not difficult for them to rescue a few people from the hands of a group of dragon fish if they did not fight head-on. After a short while, Mu Jin brought the rest of them to the shore, and the ice river finally recovered its calm again.


    Wang Dafu laid on the ground, he was trembling in fear, if he was to stay any longer, he would lose his soul.


    She then transformed into a teenager and obediently appeared in front of Su Xiruo, like a little kid who wanted to be praised. "Mistress, everything is fine now!"


    While the others stood at the side and stared wide-eyed at the person who had appeared out of nowhere in front of them. Other than Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo, everyone else was flabbergasted, not daring to believe that there was an additional person.


    Since when did Su Xiruo have such a strong flying beast? He had never heard her mention it before.


    Although there were rules for carrying out missions and one couldn''t use a flying spirit creature to travel, she could still keep it a secret!


    "Su Xiruo, you are boring. If you have such a treasure, why didn''t you take it out sooner?" Xiao Muran pretended to ridicule him, and was a little displeased in his heart.


    It wasn''t as if Su Xiruo didn''t know what they were thinking about, and warned them: "Today''s situation is critical, so Mu Jin was forced to show himself, but today''s matter, I hope that none of you will reveal it."


    After all, Mu Jin''s identity was special, if they were to be exposed, it would inevitably attract people with ill intentions.


    "Heh, who would want to divulge such a thing?" Xiao Muran scoffed, although he had a stubborn mouth, but he still expressed his intentions, and did not divulge this matter.


    "Alright!" Suddenly, Wang Dafu interrupted them, "Let''s find a place to stay first!"


    When he looked at the current Wang Dafu, his clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and his face was covered in dust. He did not look like a large family at all.


    At this very moment, deep within the glacier, two spirit beasts in the shape of dragonfish had actually opened their mouths to speak, hidden in a calm and serene corner.


    "That Jin Yuan from earlier was the target we were looking for. Why did you let him escape?" Losing such a rare opportunity, one of the dragon fish, who knows how upset it is.


    "What''s the hurry? This is called capturing others by force. " "I have already planted a Gu in Jin Yuan''s body. Once this Gu is planted, even if the Medical Sovereign comes, I''m afraid there''s nothing that can be done."


    Hearing this, Jiao Yu revealed a sly smile. "Keep watching them from the shadows. A little gold kite like them should be killed in the cradle as soon as possible while he''s still not in a good mood!"


    So what if it was a golden kite? Their luck was still bad, falling into their hands! There would be a day when they would make their entire race perish!


    The two draconic fish resonated with each other, and the surrounding draconic fish seemed to be jumping with joy as they watched the spectacular scene unfold in front of them.


    After entering the Great Gan Empire, Su Xiruo and the rest found an inn to stay at.


    Inside the guest room, Su Xiruo helped Mu Jin treat the wound caused by the scale from before, but he clearly realized that something wasn''t right.


    The blood that seeped out from the wound was purplish black. Su Xiruo had released all of the black poisonous blood, but he was still unable to determine just what kind of poison it was.


    As a Poison Master, this was the first time she was unable to differentiate between one and the other.


    Therefore, she probed: "Mu Jin, is there anything wrong with your body?"


    Mu Jin was startled, he shook his head, and replied in a spirited manner: "I already said it, Master, my physique is special, the wounds will heal by themselves soon, so, you don''t have to worry about me."


    That''s right, Mu Jin''s physique was indeed rather special, his Spiritual Strength could cure injuries, so Su Xiruo believed in these words.


    "Today, you suddenly ran out and scared me to death." Su Xiruo sighed lightly, "Have you ever thought that if they find out your identity, there might be people who want to capture you in secret?"


    Mu Jin revealed an innocent smile, "Master, I don''t care about anything else. I only know that I will never put you in danger!"


    Su Xiruo had a bad taste in his heart as he urged: "This time, forget about it. But next time, if I don''t call you out, don''t casually come out, understand?"


    There were too many people in the academy and she was really worried that there would be a day when someone tried to kill Mu Jin. After all, he was a Six Rank Spiritual Beast.

 C96

    "Then, if master''s life is in danger, can I not appear?" Mu Jin frowned, she was unwilling, "But I''m afraid, when the time comes I will not be able to hold it back!"


    Su Xiruo said in a gentle voice, "I promise you, if my life is in danger, when I am really out of options, I will definitely call you."


    She did not want to cause Mu Jin to reveal her identity because of her; after all, the relationship between Humans and them was very subtle.


    For example, high level Beast Core s, if a human acted as a guide and refined a medicinal pellet to consume, the Spiritual Strength would increase greatly! Therefore, many humans have been drooling over High Ranked Beast Core for a long time, it was just that it was not that easy to obtain.


    "Alright then." Helpless, Mu Jin could only agree. He knew in his heart that Master was doing this for his own good.


    At the Dragon Seal Empire border.


    The grass and trees were toppled, thunder rumbled in the sky, and rain fell endlessly. Accompanied by mournful cries, the atmosphere was especially tense.


    Suddenly, a giant bird swooped down from the sky. Instantly, countless soldiers on the ground died. The moment that giant bird spread its wings, the remaining power of vibration was enough to kill many ordinary soldiers.


    Ye Chengxuan held onto the Green Edge Sword, flying up into the sky, and had been fighting with the Ice Soul Bird for a long time, to the point where they could not even get close to each other, but he was still unable to control it, and within the eyes of the Ice Soul Bird, there was only slaughter!


    The soldiers on land were deployed, but they could only defend the camp without getting hurt.


    Ye Chengxuan currently had nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, but he had been at a stalemate with this Ice Soul Bird for a long time, so the disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious.


    The destructive power of the Six Rank Spiritual Beast was extremely terrifying, not to mention how it had lost its mind. Other than killing people in its eyes, it had no other consciousness!


    He had to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise it would only result in more deaths and injuries!


    Ye Chengxuan''s finger bones were curled tightly, and the Green Edge Sword, which was filled with metal attribute Spiritual Strength, was thrown out.


    In the next second, the Ice Soul Bird seemed to be infuriated, it roared, and the impact instantly broke countless trees, causing Ye Chengxuan to retreat quickly. Just as he was about to be hit by the counterattack, he heard a "Shua" sound coming from the air.


    The blade edge from behind swiftly penetrated the Ice Soul Bird''s body, accompanied by the white Spiritual Strength. The Ice Soul Bird struggled weakly, then fell to the ground, no longer able to move.


    When Ye Chengxuan saw Yun Qian appear behind the Ice Soul Bird, he knew that it was him who did it and revealed a look of joy, "Yun Qian!"


    Luckily, Yun Qian had come in time. If he had arrived a little later, he might really be unable to hold on.


    "Is father okay?" Helian Yunqian asked with concern.


    "It''s nothing, it''s all thanks to you rushing over in time, I also did not expect that a Six Rank Spiritual Beast would appear!" Ye Chengxuan''s expression became much more solemn.


    Even Six Rank Spiritual Beast began to appear. Following this trend, would they have to deal with the Seventh Rank Spirit Beasts next?


    Just thinking about it made him frightened. This matter was becoming more and more complicated, and it might even involve the Orc Clan!


    "Six Rank Spiritual Beast?" Helian Yunqian was a little surprised. When he attacked just now, he did not pay much attention to what rank of spirit beast he had killed.


    He approached the Ice Soul Bird, crouched down, and examined it closely. Only then did he realize that it was indeed a Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    Judging from the characteristics of its body, this Ice Soul Bird should belong to Bird Clan, or, should be considered a Phoenix Clan!


    Could it be that this matter really has something to do with Phoenix Clan?


    If it was really done under the influence of Phoenix Clan, then even if a Seventh Rank spirit beast appeared in the future, it wouldn''t be anything strange. After all, no one could imagine just how terrifying the strength of the divine Orc Clan was!


    "Yes, it''s a Six Rank Spiritual Beast." After a long while, he slowly stood up and said, "But father, there''s no need to panic. I''ve just transferred a mercenary army over."


    Ye Chengxuan turned around, and looked at the mercenary dressed in silver white armor behind him. He seemed to be around three Mercenary Group s in number, and was instantly surprised: "Yun Qian, this Mercenary Group, where did you dispatch it from?"


    "Ahem, I borrowed it." Helian Yunqian said in a perfunctory manner, and then immediately changed the topic, "Every single Mercenary Group is able to defend itself against one Six Rank Spiritual Beast."


    To be able to fend off Six Rank Spiritual Beast all the time, this kind of Mercenary Group was an existence that was one in a thousand kilometers. It was difficult for even an empire to hire one, but this son of his was actually able to "borrow" three? It was incredible.


    Out of curiosity, Ye Chengxuan asked again, "Who are you borrowing this from?"


    He actually wanted to know, who could have such powerful strength, to have three sets of elite Mercenary Group at his disposal!


    Even the Principal of Mercenary Academy wouldn''t be willing to take out so many treasures all of the sudden, right?


    "One... "Friend." Helian Yunqian flippantly said, as if he did not want to continue this topic, "Alright, Father, who needs to borrow is not important, as long as the Mercenary Group can be used by us. In the future, you do not have to worry about the safety of this border barrier anymore!"


    In fact, he alone was enough to deal with these Vicious Beasts, but he wanted to focus more of his energy on investigating the truth; he wanted to find out the truth behind this matter!


    "Hai." Hearing this, Ye Chengxuan sighed helplessly. "Yun Qian, we''ve truly met at the border and you''re the one who''s going to intervene in the end. Father feels somewhat ashamed in his heart."


    "Father, don''t say that." Helian Yunqian immediately cut him off, "This time the situation is special, even if Mu Lingyi himself comes, he will not be able to solve the problem, and since this matter has already fallen into my hands, I will definitely help father resolve it!"


    Ye Chengxuan nodded his head, although he still had a lot of words he wanted to say, he was still hesitant to say them in the end.


    As matters stood, he could only do his best to resolve the matter of the Vicious Beasts. At the very least, he could not give Yun Qian any trouble.


    Returning back to the camp, Helian Yunqian asked Liu Sheng: "Where are Xi Ruo and Sha Xing and the others right now?"


    Liu Sheng answered truthfully: "I have already entered the realm of Great Gan Empire. In less than three days, I should be able to complete this first mission."


    Helian Yunqian nodded his head slightly. It looks like their mission was carried out quite smoothly.


    "However, we have already reached our destination and completed our first mission." Liu Sheng once again told her this not too good news, and said somewhat helplessly, "This Divine Ranked Class One''s strength, is truly hidden!"


    "Divine Ranked Class One''s strength has always been higher than the other two classes. It looks like, they can only compete with Divine Ranked Class Two for this second mission." Helian Yunqian was still a little worried in his heart.


    Find a chance and sneak a look at Xi Ruo.


    In the following two days, Su Xiruo and the rest had been wandering around the Great Gan Empire. With Nangong Yi leading the way for free, they avoided detours and quickly approached the Wang Family.


    And their Divine Ranked Class Two, was no different from the road they were on, when they were almost at the Wang Family residence, Gu Wanyun had coincidentally come to reunite with them.


    The tavern was bustling with noise and noise, the jumbled sounds of battle could be heard incessantly. Gu Wanyun walked into the tavern with a cold face and dressed in casual attire and a silver white mask.


    "Miss, do you want to stay in the inn?"


    "I''m looking for someone." Gu Wanyun said coldly, "Two days ago, were there any six people coming and going from this inn?"


    The waiter was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Miss, the number of customers is very high every day. I don''t remember what six people you mentioned. Also, we can''t casually divulge the customer''s information to you."


    Gu Wanyun frowned and became impatient all of a sudden, "What do you mean by that? I''m here to look for my sister. Can it be that I don''t even have the right to know about my own sister? "


    She slammed her palm on the table, looking extremely arrogant.


    It was one thing for Su Xiruo to bully her, but now a small waiter actually dared to bully her, there was no justice left in the world!


    "Miss, you can''t do this." That waiter had probably seen so many arrogant customers before that he no longer paid any attention to them.


    "Truly courting death!" Gu Wanyun was too lazy to talk with him and raised his hand. Just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by a familiar voice.


    "Wanyun!"

 C97

    Gu Wanyun turned around and saw Gu Jingrou, dressed in black clothes and dressed in extremely low-key, standing not far behind him.


    Before she could even speak, Gu Jingrou had already walked forward and grabbed her arm, pulling her up to the guest room, where only the two of them were in the room.


    "Elder sister, I''ve finally met you!" Gu Wanyun seemed to want to let go of all the grievances in his heart.


    Who would have thought that Gu Jingrou''s face would darken and he coldly berated: "Are you stupid? Do you know what would have happened if you had revealed your identity after your high profile back then? "


    In the face of this reprimand, Gu Wanyun was very unhappy in his heart, but he did not know how to retort, "Elder sister, I did not do it on purpose. It was just a moment of impatience ¡­"


    Although Gu Jingrou was very angry in his heart, this was still her own sister after all, and she had admitted her wrongs. At that moment, the anger in his heart dissipated a little: "In the future, you need to be careful outside by yourself, if not, if something really happens, I won''t clean up your mess either!"


    "I know." Gu Wanyun''s attitude of admitting his wrongs was still sincere. She quickly changed the topic, "Right, big sis, is our first mission going to be completed soon?"


    "If nothing unexpected happens, then we will arrive today." At this point, Gu Jingrou was quite confident, "Although we can''t compare to the Divine Ranked Class One in the first mission, at least we will be faster than Su Xiruo and the others."


    It would be good as long as they were not at the bottom. After all, Gu Jingrou was well aware that there was a huge disparity in strength between them and their Divine Ranked Class One.


    "Hmph." Once Su Xiruo was mentioned, Gu Wanyun was no longer in a good mood, "I must make her pay the price. Everything that I have to bear, I must make her pay!"


    From the bottom of her heart, she swore to herself that she would definitely not let Su Xiruo off easy.


    The two sisters only exchanged a few words of greeting before no longer daring to tarry any longer. They called for everyone to continue their journey, wanting to reach their destination as soon as possible and compare Heavenly Ranked Class Three with each other.


    Finally, before the sky turned dark, Gu Jingrou and the others had already arrived at the Wang Family Manor. Just as they were feeling excited, they saw that the people from Heavenly Ranked Class Three had arrived as well.


    "Su Xiruo, why have all of you come as well?" Suddenly, Gu Wanyun''s face changed as if he had eaten something disgusting;


    Originally, they were full of confidence that they would definitely be able to reach the Wang Family before the Heavenly Ranked Class Three.


    "Yo, Gu Wanyun." Once Mu Lingxi saw Gu Wanyun, he taunted him without restraint, "You were let out? This time, we have to be careful, don''t go back in! "


    Gu Wanyun was so angry that her face flushed red: "Don''t mention what happened earlier to me anymore, otherwise, it will only make me hate you even more and make me want to take revenge!"


    This Mu Lingxi, she really couldn''t stop talking about other things. In front of so many people, was she not going to give face?


    "Alright, feel free to come at me. I want to see how many tricks you still have up your sleeve!" Mu Lingxi laughed in disdain, completely looking down on that woman.


    Gu Wanyun''s fingers curled tightly as he faced him. The atmosphere on both sides seemed to have frozen over all of a sudden.


    "Cough cough, would you like to enter the mansion?" Finally, Wang Dafu came out to speak, attempting to ease the atmosphere.


    A large group of people stood outside the mansion, looking as if they were about to fight.


    "Sure." Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, "However, we will not stay for long. After your master sends someone to check the ingredients, we should leave."


    After all, there was an even more important mission awaiting them.


    At this time, Wang Dafu revealed an apologetic smile and explained: "Sorry everyone, master is not at home today, he went to collect the rent outside, so I''m afraid everyone can only stay in the mansion for the night, until master returns tomorrow, then personally check out the ingredients, how about that?"


    "If that''s the case, won''t I have to delay the whole night?" Qin Zichen muttered, but in his heart, it was obvious that he was unwilling.


    "Sigh, there''s nothing we can do about it. It''s not a good thing for us to not have a clear understanding of the medicinal ingredients." Gu Jingrou sighed helplessly, and could only agree, "Forget it, Butler Wang, since it is like this, we will stay in the mansion for the night."


    Wang Dafu turned around and instructed the Domestic Servant beside him: "Go and prepare four guest rooms for all of you."


    "Four?" Ye Zhuozhuo cried out, thinking that he had misheard, he asked, "We have a total of more than ten people, and you just gave us four guest rooms, I''m afraid that it''s not enough?"


    Wang Dafu waved his hand, and with a perfunctory tone: "The Wang Family''s guest rooms are limited, and can only be used four rooms, so, you guys can do it today!"


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo slightly frowned, as if he couldn''t take it anymore.


    This Wang Dafu, was truly stingy to the extreme. Not to mention the fact that they had to pay for the money along the way, even when they were eating, Wang Dafu was reluctant to take out any of the money, and he always ordered more than anyone else.


    The Wang family looked incomparably grand, and was even more extravagant than the Imperial Mansion of the Dragon''s Seal Capital. He actually said that the rooms were limited, did he take them for idiots?


    "Wang Dafu." Su Xiruo coldly glanced at him, and said: "Since this guest room is not enough, then tell your old master to come back immediately and count the ingredients, and we will leave immediately."


    Wang Dafu had his reasons for doing so. "Didn''t we agree earlier that you all are willing to stay the night and wait until tomorrow?"


    "That''s because their Divine Ranked Class Two agreed to it, but we haven''t agreed to it yet." Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, "We will now follow the original rules and have your old master come here. After we finish counting, he let us leave!"


    Su Xiruo''s voice was not loud, but he was filled with confidence and did not give any room for discussion.


    At this time, Gu Jingrou actually agreed as well, "That''s right, we''re the same as well. If you''re only giving us two guest rooms, then we aren''t willing to stay here any longer.


    Wang Dafu was obviously in a difficult situation: "You two, aren''t you trying to make things difficult for me? The old master has something to attend to today, and is unable to return in the first place.


    "Of course." Su Xiruo started to state his conditions again, "It''s just that we completed the mission within the agreed time, but due to your master''s decision, we have to delay the next mission for one more day, so, not only do you have to arrange good guest rooms for us, you also have to compensate us for the additional losses!"


    Since Wang Dafu knew how to scheme, then he would do the same to him.


    Sure enough, in the next second, Wang Dafu''s face turned black.


    However, their circumstances were unique, and they were all precious herbs. He dared not act rashly, and took the initiative to compromise, instructing the Domestic Servant once more, "Men, prepare a room for each of you, serve them well!"


    They were rather satisfied with this answer.


    Wang Dafu was extremely unhappy in his heart, and said snappily: "Now, you are finally satisfied right?" With that, he angrily turned and left.


    "This Wang Dafu is really something, he should have done it anyway, why does it feel like we took so much advantage of him?" Looking at Wang Dafu''s back figure, Mu Lingxi was especially unhappy in his heart.


    That was quite true. The more rich and overbearing a person was, the more they would search. It was likely that the master Wang wasn''t a magnanimous person. Otherwise, how would he have such a servant?


    "Let''s go." Gu Jingrou did not care about them, and proudly led the people from Divine Ranked Class Two into the Wang Family Courtyard.


    When passing by Su Xiruo, Gu Wanyun shot her a fierce look: "Su Xiruo, just you wait, after offending me, I won''t let you live a good life, be careful!"

 C98

    "Sure." Su Xiruo said as if he was waiting to see the end of the story, "Let me see what other tricks you still have that you can''t use."


    Gu Wanyun snorted, and quickly followed her sister and left.


    "Ruo Ruo, I keep having the feeling that Gu Wanyun''s tone was filled with ill intentions just now." Ye Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, she felt that something was not right, "Be careful, she will definitely hold a grudge against you for what happened last time. Maybe she will make a move on you soon."


    Su Xiruo nodded, he still had a rough idea of what was going on: "Come at me."


    Wang Dafu had someone arrange for a room for each of them, and the medicine that was transported over was stored in the warehouse beside their room, and was guarded by many soldiers.


    After rushing for an entire day, Su Xiruo finally came to his room to rest, but he was still not sleepy. Or rather, she had a premonition that something would happen tonight.


    "Mu Jin, Mu Jin." She called Mu Jin who was in her sleeve, but did not get a reply, as she was inexplicably a little worried in her heart.


    Ever since he left the ice river that day, when Mu Jin was injured, he had not appeared once again. It was as if he had been sleeping within his sleeves the entire time.


    Forget it, since he was meditating, he would not disturb him for now. Thus, Su Xiruo gave up on this idea and sat on the bed with his legs crossed, continuing his Spiritual Strength.


    In these few days, she did not have much time to cultivate, but Su Xiruo had still taken all of her time to cultivate. Because she had the Red Jade Marrow Ring, her cultivation speed was extremely fast, and in these two days, she had already faintly felt that she was about to break through the barrier of a six star Heavenly Spirit Master.


    She closed her eyes and wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. She wanted to quickly increase her own strength so that she would have the qualifications to contend against the academy using Senior Class.


    Outside the guest room, Gu Wanyun sneakily ran out and jumped onto the roof with a light leap. After looking around, he finally found the two grandeur guarded by heavy soldiers.


    The first warehouse was the medicinal materials that their Divine Ranked Class Two s transported. The second warehouse was their Heavenly Ranked Class Three s!


    The corner of his mouth raised slightly, Gu Wanyun muttered: "Su Xiruo, I want to make it so that you all are unable to complete the mission.


    If a portion of the ingredients transferred into the Heavenly Ranked Class Three were to be lost, then they would definitely be held accountable, and they would also become the laughing stock of the entire academy. And Su Xiruo, the so called leader, would probably become infamous from then on.


    Thinking about it, Gu Wanyun already wanted to make his move, his body turned into a shadow, and entered the second warehouse.


    All of this happened to be seen through the window by Su Xiruo and she smiled noncommittally, "Gu Wanyun, you finally made your move. You brought this upon yourself, so you can''t blame me!"


    Following that, Su Xiruo got up and pushed open the door of the guest room, planning to catch her!


    Gu Wanyun sneaked into the warehouse to confirm that the ingredients were indeed Heavenly Ranked Class Three, then he opened the box, planning to take a portion of it and hide. When that time came, Su Xiruo and the rest would not be able to refute his plan!


    "Crack ~ ~ ~"


    Just as she was about to steal the ingredients, the entire warehouse was lit up with light. After that, in a split second, a group of Domestic Servant s with swords all over their bodies entered the warehouse and surrounded her.


    "Ah?" "How could it be ¡­" Gu Wanyun immediately closed the chest. Looking at the large pile of Domestic Servant in front of him, he became flustered, "You all ¡­ Don''t get me wrong, I just went into the wrong room. "


    "What else do you have to say?" Wang Dafu''s voice came from outside.


    The crowd opened up a path, only to see Wang Dafu and Su Xiruo slowly walking over. Gu Wanyun immediately knew that he had been tricked by that damned girl!


    "Alright, Su Xiruo, you set me up for this, right?" Pointing at Su Xiruo, Gu Wanyun was extremely agitated, and did not know how to explain himself.


    No, he had to remain calm even in this situation. As long as he had no lack of medicinal herbs, he would be able to prove that he was innocent!


    "Gu Wanyun, what are you talking about?" Su Xiruo frowned slightly, he had an innocent look on his face, "I was walking outside the courtyard when I heard the commotion in the warehouse. I was worried that something might have happened, so I called Master Wang over to take a look.


    Gu Wanyun scoffed. He didn''t believe that she was just passing by and hurriedly retorted, "You''re purposely framing me!"


    Then, in order to not attract Wang Dafu''s suspicion, Gu Wanyun hurriedly explained himself: "Master Wang, it''s not like what you''ve seen. I really do not plan to steal anything from this warehouse!"


    "Even if we take the spoils of war, do you still want to justify yourself?" Wang Dafu was a person who had a suspicious heart. Everything he did was for his own benefit.


    "Lord Wang." At this time, Su Xiruo suggested, "Now it''s useless to say anything, why not count the herbs in the chest. If there are no missing ingredients, it proves that she is innocent.


    Wang Dafu nodded and felt that this made some sense.


    Hmph, let''s do that. I''m not afraid of the shadow!" Gu Wan Yun didn''t take anything from the box, so he naturally wasn''t afraid of something not counting.


    Therefore, after Wang Dafu searched for a long time, he finally found all the ingredients on the list and picked out two of them: "These two lists are all the medicinal ingredients that should be in this warehouse. Men, open the boxes, and count them one by one!"


    "Yes sir!" The Domestic Servant s all stepped forward and invited Gu Wanyun, gesturing for her to move aside.


    Gu Wanyun could only stand at the side with a sullen face, distancing himself from the boxes, in order to avoid any suspicion.


    The Domestic Servant s opened the chests one by one and checked them against the list carefully, not daring to be careless in the slightest.


    Gu Wanyun stood beside Su Xiruo and stared at her. At that moment, he really wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces.


    "Su Xiruo!" Gu Wanyun scolded softly, "You sure have a good method up your sleeve, but luckily I didn''t take anything, your framing plan, I''m afraid it will fail!"


    Su Xiruo scoffed, laughing at her na?vet¨¦, "Gu Wanyun, whether or not you take the medicinal ingredients is not up to you to decide. Once you finish counting all the medicinal ingredients, there will naturally be an outcome.


    The last sentence had a profound meaning to it that made Gu Wanyun feel flustered.


    However, she still tried her best to calm herself down. She kept warning herself in her heart, don''t be afraid, since I''ve never done it before, I''m not afraid of being found out!


    Because there were too many medicinal ingredients, the dozen or so Domestic Servant s took more than four hours to count them all.


    "Reporting to Lord Wang, there are two less stalks of Sixth Rank medicine, the Dragoncry Grass!"


    "What!" These words were like a thunderbolt that struck Wang Dafu hard. He was so scared that his legs went soft, "Are you sure you didn''t make a mistake in counting?"


    Sixth Rank medicine ingredients, that was not a joke, if the old master came back tomorrow and found out that two stalks of Sixth Rank medicine ingredients were missing, he would probably be screwed!


    "Lord, we counted it three times, and we are indeed missing two pieces of Dragon Cry Grass!"


    "Nonsense!" Gu Wanyun could not listen any longer, and interrupted them, "You guys must have counted incorrectly, these ingredients are all lying at the same place, I have not touched them at all, just as I was about to open the box, you guys came, how can you be lacking any ingredients?"


    Wang Dafu was already burning with anxiety as he glared at Gu Wanyun with a face full of anger: "This lady, it''s fine if you stole our Sixth Rank medicine, but you are still refusing to admit it. What exactly do you mean? Do you really think that my Wang Clan is helpless against you? "


    The Domestic Servant took out their weapons and surrounded Gu Wanyun, as though they did not want her to leave.


    "If I say no, then no, don''t you understand?" Gu Wanyun was starting to get anxious, his fingers curled tightly, he was angry and helpless, "You guys have no proof, just say that I took the Dragoncry Grass, and it''s clearly slander!"


    Then, she pointed at Su Xiruo. "Also, you guys can''t guarantee that they didn''t accidentally lose these medicinal herbs while they were in the middle of transportation!"

 C99

    Looking back at Su Xiruo, he stood at the side with a straight face, as if he was not worried at all that this would implicate their Heavenly Ranked Class Three. In his heart, he was fully confident about all this.


    "Lord Wang." "Since she says she''s innocent, then you might as well search her body. If there''s no result, then it means that she''s wronged, then our Heavenly Ranked Class Three is willing to bear all the consequences!"


    Her tone was full of confidence, as if everything was planned and planned.


    "What big words you have there!" Gu Wanyun laughed, probably thinking that Su Xiruo shouldn''t have made this bet with him.


    That was because she didn''t come across any medicinal plants. She had just opened the box and wasn''t afraid of being framed for things that she hadn''t done before!


    "Then do you dare to let Lord Wang search you?" Su Xiruo continued to stir things up.


    Gu Wanyun''s fingers curled tightly, obviously unwilling: "Why? Sir Wang, searching your body is a bit too much! "


    She, Gu Wanyun, had never suffered such humiliation before.


    "Miss." Wang Dafu had no other choice, "If you want to prove your innocence, that is the only way, and if you are not willing, then I can only say that you are feeling guilty!"


    Gu Wanyun was enraged by his words, "What do you mean by not feeling guilty? What a load of nonsense! Okay, you want me to search you? This Miss promises you, but, if you don''t find anything after searching for a while, you must apologize to This Miss! "


    "If you wrongly accuse me, I will naturally apologize to you." At this time, Wang Dafu couldn''t wait to search his body, and gave the order, instructing the Domestic Servant, "Search his body!"


    A few Domestic Servant s walked up. Gu Wanyun reluctantly raised his hands, his eyes filled with disgust.


    "Don''t touch that!"


    "Don''t try to take advantage of me!"


    "Sir Wang!" Finally, one of the Domestic Servant took out two golden colored herbs from Gu Wanyun''s pockets, and showed it to Wang Dafu, "This herb!"


    Wang Dafu took the herbs, and compared to the Dragon Cry Grass on the list, it was almost identical. Looking at the Spiritual Strength around the Dragon Cry Grass, he was sure that this was the stolen Dragon Cry Grass!


    "Miss, we''ve found the Dragoncry Grass on your body, do you have anything else to say?" Wang Dafu stared at Gu Wanyun as if he was his enemy.


    Su Xiruo, who was standing to the side, slightly raised his hand, revealing a faint smile.


    This Gu Wanyun must have tied himself up in a cocoon once!


    "This... "How is this possible!?" Gu Wanyun looked at the two Dragon''s Cry Grass and was completely dumbfounded. He promptly shook his head and denied it, "No, this is none of my business, I didn''t take this!"


    "Ironclad proof is like a mountain, do you still want to quibble?" Wang Dafu did not have the patience to continue speaking with her, "I really did not expect that the Mercenary Academy would produce such a student with no professional ethics!"


    Gu Wanyun started to become agitated and after being scolded by Wang Dafu, he became even more furious, "Shut up! I am not such a person, so don''t slander me as you please! "


    "Today, if you don''t give us an explanation, you can forget about leaving!" Wang Dafu was originally a picky person. Now that he involved two stalks of Sixth Rank medicine, how could he let it go just like that!


    Gu Wanyun scoffed, he knew that there was no use in explaining, so he went all out, "I''m afraid none of you have the ability to stop me!"


    She had a five star Heavenly Spirit Master and she wanted to leave this place. Who in the entire Wang Family could stop her?


    Wang Dafu didn''t seem to be worried at all, as he snapped his fingers. Not long after, two afterimages flashed before their eyes, and in the end, they transformed into two Men In Black s, and appeared in the warehouse.


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. Sensing the dense fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, he could roughly guess that these two Black Man s probably had at least the strength of nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, or even higher.


    After all, this was Great Gan Empire''s second trade, and it still had a trump card that could protect the clan!


    The originally confident Gu Wanyun was instantly struck dumb this time. She subconsciously took a few steps back, and even wanted to argue for herself: "Wang Dafu, are you certain that I was the one who did this?"


    "You have stolen everything. Who else could it be other than you?" Wang Dafu rolled his eyes at her and disdainfully said, "Miss, our Wang Family is not to be trifled with. If you want to get into a fight with us, I am afraid you will not be able to get anything out of it.


    Gu Wanyun was still not willing to give up, and transferred all of his hatred onto Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, it''s you! You must have framed me, right? "


    "What does that have to do with me?" Su Xiruo was at a loss, pretending to know nothing.


    "Su Xiruo, I''m begging you, can you tell me the truth?" In the end, Gu Wanyun still submitted, ran to Su Xiruo, and knelt down, "I know that you are the one controlling this matter, quickly tell the truth, or else, my entire Divine Ranked Class Two will be punished!"


    To a Mercenary Group user, stealing from their employer was a great humiliation, a disgrace to their entire Divine Ranked Class Two!


    When he thought about the consequences, Gu Wanyun became extremely worried, worried that he would become the target of everyone.


    "What are you talking about? Why can''t I understand a single word?" Su Xiruo was not moved at all, and instead advised her on purpose, "However, you should change your mind if you know what''s wrong, and never think of doing anything good. This time, if you properly admit your wrongs and turn back into a human, you will still have the chance to improve yourself in the future!"


    With that, Su Xiruo shook off Gu Wanyun''s hand, and turned to Wang Dafu: "Master Wang, you handle this matter yourself, I will not interfere."


    After throwing that sentence, she turned and left the warehouse. Gu Wanyun''s fingers were curled tightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred!


    In the morning, Gu Wanyun was kneeling alone in the courtyard, looking as if he was about to face a great enemy.


    Through the window, she could vaguely see that in the room, Gu Jingrou was constantly apologizing and begging for forgiveness, but Wang Dafu''s expression did not change at all.


    After a while, Gu Jingrou sighed helplessly, and was sent off by Wang Dafu, leaving the room with a darkened face.


    Gu Wanyun saw the situation, and quickly got up: "Elder sister, I was wrongly accused, you must believe me ah ¡­"


    Pow!


    Before she could finish her words, Gu Jingrou slapped her hard: "Shut up! Don''t say anything else, don''t you feel that it''s too embarrassing? "


    Gu Wanyun covered her red and swollen face. She was not only unresigned, but also extremely wronged. This was the first time her elder sister had vented her anger on her, making her feel at a loss of what to do.


    "This is good, the news just arrived from the academy. Our Divine Ranked Class Two results are cancelled for this mission. When we return, we will still need to receive punishment." Gu Jingrou curled his fingers tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you satisfied now?"


    These words were like a thunder from a clear sky. Gu Wanyun was so scared that his legs went limp, falling onto the ground. He shook his head: "No, how could this be?


    "All of this was caused by you!" As if he had gone mad, Gu Jingrou grabbed Gu Wanyun''s collar and gave her another slap.


    If the result was cancelled, it would mean that in the next mission, no matter how hard they tried, they would lose to Su Xiruo and the others.


    It was one thing to lose to Divine Ranked Class One, but to lose to a weak class that still had to lose to Profound Rank, their face of Divine Ranked Class Two, would be completely thrown away.


    Gu Wanyun felt wronged, her tears fell, but she did not dare say anything.


    She knew that her sister was angry, and this time, it was all Su Xiruo''s fault. If not for Su Xiruo''s design, things would not have developed to this state.


    "Oh yeah, sister, it''s Su Xiruo! It''s her design! " Gu Wanyun tried his best to argue for himself.


    "What does this have to do with Su Xiruo?" Gu Jingrou didn''t really understand.


    Gu Wanyun coldly snorted. "Last night, I wanted to go to the storehouse to steal some Heavenly Ranked Class Three''s medicinal herbs, and frame them as not completing the mission. Who would have known, that it would actually be turned around by Su Xiruo!"

 C100

    "What?" Hearing her words, Gu Jingrou''s lungs almost exploded out from anger, "Who told you to go and do such a risky thing without my permission? Do you even put me in your eyes? "


    Everything that Gu Wanyun did last night, he had never discussed it with her, his sister.


    "I wanted to secretly do something for you to make you happy, but I ended up messing up just like that." Gu Wanyun lowered his head, feeling that he had failed to the extreme.


    Gu Jingrou gave a cold snort, and didn''t buy it at all: "Enough, stop talking, you better think about how you want to make up for this loss!"


    When Su Xiruo and the others saw the miserable appearances of these two sisters, they all thought that they deserved it.


    "Xiruo." Mu Lingxi approached Su Xiruo a little and whispered to her, "You should be aware of this matter, right?"


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, and did not deny it.


    Mu Lingxi knew that her tone meant that she had admitted it: "High, you''re really high. I really admire your guts!"


    He actually dared to steal medicinal ingredients from the storage room, and took the opportunity to secretly place them on Gu Wanyun. If this sort of thing was discovered, then their entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three would probably be finished.


    "I am returning the favor in kind." Su Xiruo didn''t think that he went too far.


    She had sensed that Gu Wanyun had evil intentions and wanted to frame them, so she decided to make the first move!


    Her personality had always been like this. If others didn''t provoke her, she wouldn''t provoke them, but if they had evil intentions towards her, she would definitely make the first move. She would rather hurt them than give them the chance to harm her!


    "Hehe, seeing that the two sisters have fallen to such a state, I feel that it''s really venting my anger!" Ye Zhuozhuo was extremely happy in his heart.


    "Alright." Su Xiruo reminded them, "Even if we have to vent our anger, it''s fine, but we have nothing to do here. We should hurry on ahead and head towards the Spirit Beast Mountain Range!"


    Although they had left Divine Ranked Class Two behind on this mission, they did not want to slack off on the following missions.


    "Su Xiruo!" At this time, Gu Wanyun suddenly noticed these seven people, and became so angry that he almost lost control of his emotions, "You still dare to come and make fun of me!?"


    "I''m sorry, I was just passing by. I didn''t expect to see you make a fool of yourself. What a coincidence!" Su Xiruo was not afraid of her.


    "You!" Gu Wanyun''s emotions had completely gone out of control. The blade in his sleeve quickly shot out, and thrusted towards Su Xiruo''s neck.


    Su Xiruo had not even made his move, when Qing Xuan, who was beside her, blocked Gu Wanyun''s Sword Qi with his palm and sent her flying.


    Gu Wanyun laid on the ground, and used his Extreme Sword to slash apart the huge rock at the side. "Su Xiruo, for you to do such a despicable thing, aren''t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?"


    "Our leader is acting on behalf of the heavens. The people who are scammed are not good people!" Mu Lingxi retorted back coldly.


    Finally, Gu Jingrou could not take it anymore, and went forward to confront the seven people, and said with a cold face: "Su Xiruo, I will remember today''s matter, and consider this my defeat, but you must be careful, don''t let me grab any chances, or else, I will make you wish you were dead for sure!"


    Gu Jingrou''s voice was not loud, and was somewhat gentle when she heard it, but this kind of tone, clearly gave people a provocative yet cold feeling.


    This time, Gu Jingrou was serious. After all, what happened this time truly touched the interests of the entire Divine Ranked Class Two, and made her, Gu Jingrou, completely lose face!


    "Su Xiruo, what are you afraid of her for?" Seeing that Su Xiruo was not speaking, Xiao Muran could not help but give her some encouragement, "Will our Heavenly Ranked Class Three lose to them?"


    "Sure." Finally, Su Xiruo agreed and stared straight into Gu Jingrou''s eyes. "Senior Sister Gu, let me remind you with good intentions, although you are strong personally, sometimes you have to be careful of your boar teammates who drag you down!"


    Finished, Su Xiruo seemed to not plan to waste anymore time with them, he turned and said: "Let''s go!"


    "Who is she scolding?" Gu Wanyun was already unhappy in his heart, hearing this, he really wanted to catch up and argue with Su Xiruo.


    "Don''t you know who she''s talking about?" Gu Jingrou rolled his eyes at her coldly, "Heh, Su Xiruo is right. I really shouldn''t have let you cause trouble for me.


    Gu Wanyun curled his fingers tightly, feeling that he was about to lose all of his dignity. "Elder sister, how can you say that about me? I was just being kind, but I did something bad! "


    Gu Jingrou interrupted her words and was a little displeased: "Since you know that you''ve done such a good deed, then think of a way to make up for it. What''s the use of complaining to me here?"


    "Alright." Gu Wanyun immediately made up his mind, "Sister, since this mission has been ruined, we will definitely be the first to complete the mission to hunt for Spirit Beasts. We cannot let them take advantage of us again!"


    From her point of view, Heavenly Ranked Class Three was just luck, and taking advantage of things was fine. As long as they were careful, they would definitely not let the other party seize the initiative!


    "Yes." Gu Jingrou thought so too.


    Therefore, he hurriedly left the Wang family grounds, not daring to delay any longer, as he was afraid that he would be late when compared to Su Xiruo.


    That Spirit Beast Mountain Range was located at the border of Great Gan Empire and Great Gan Empire, and even if one were to say it wasn''t too far away, it wasn''t too far away. In just a day and night''s travel, Gu Jingrou and the others had already rushed to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    Having learned their lesson, this time around, they were exceptionally careful, casually observing their surroundings. There were even the slightest movement in the wind, and they were all extremely cautious.


    Gu Jingrou clenched the white jade pendant in his hand, his expression grave, as if he had been hoping for a reaction from it.


    Before they came, Teacher Liang Si had already said that this white jade pendant would only react a little if they got close to the two Six Rank Spiritual Beast that they were going to kill.


    However, they had been wandering aimlessly within the Spirit Beast Mountain Range for more than four hours and still hadn''t found anything. Only occasionally would they see two low-ranked spirit beasts.


    "Strange, why is the Spirit Beast Mountain Range so quiet." Qin Zichen couldn''t help but ask, "Senior Sister Gu, should we think of a way to lure out the spirit beasts?"


    Gu Jingrou turned around and rolled her eyes at him, "We also don''t know what kind of spirit beast they''ll hunt look like. How are they going to deal with two or three Six Rank Spiritual Beast s if they come over all of a sudden?"


    These people had all come up with rotten ideas. That was enough!


    "But, if we continue to wander aimlessly like this, maybe Su Xiruo and the rest will find the spirit beast first." Gu Wanyun, who was at the side, was also somewhat anxious.


    "I know, I don''t need your reminder!" Gu Jingrou was still angry at her, so he naturally didn''t have any good feelings towards her.


    "You!" Gu Wanyun''s fingers tightened into a ball as he suddenly felt that his elder sister''s attitude towards him had completely changed.


    He had only done one thing wrong, but he did not expect his sister to keep it in her heart and not let it go!


    Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Su Biyue''s words broke the tense atmosphere, "Everyone stop arguing, quickly listen up, there seems to be sounds of fighting around here!"


    Instantly, everyone quieted down and calmed their hearts. Sure enough, they heard the clear sound of a battle not too far away.


    "Su Biyue, you go take a look!" Gu Jingrou ordered.


    "..." "Alright." Su Biyue nodded and agreed, but in his heart he was slightly unhappy.


    Normally, the Senior Sister Gu would pretend that she did not exist. Only in this kind of dangerous situation would he let her rush to the front. It was as if her life wasn''t important at all.


    However, since he had already agreed, Su Biyue could only bite the bullet and leap forward, carefully hiding at the side. In front of him, seven people were surrounding a flying spirit beast with snow-white wings.


    The flying spirit creature''s eyes were blood-red and incomparably violent, but it seemed to have gradually lost its demeanor and was on the verge of losing in front of these seven people.


    And those seven people, were precisely the seven people from Divine Ranked Class One. Everyone looked a little tired, as if they had been fighting with this Snow Phoenix for a long time!

 C101

    Immediately, Su Biyue''s eyes lit up, he stealthily turned around and left to report the situation to Gu Jingrou.


    "How is it? What did you see?" Gu Jingrou could not help but ask.


    Su Biyue did not dare to hide anything, and spoke honestly: "It''s Yun Lan and the others! They... He was dealing with Xue Feng, and from the looks of it, he was about to win! From the looks of it, the seven of them are also somewhat exhausted! "


    Hearing that, everyone''s morale rose. Gu Wanyun took the initiative and suggested: "Elder sister, this is a great opportunity. We''ll go snatch the Snow Phoenix from them.


    Gu Jingrou slightly nodded his head, but he was still a little cautious in the end, "Let''s go over and take a look at the situation first, don''t be in a rush to make a move, if we offend the Divine Ranked Class One directly, then our future days might not be too good either!"


    Moreover, the strength of his Divine Ranked Class One was far stronger than theirs. It was unknown whether or not he could snatch them away.


    "Yes." Everyone had prepared their Spiritual Artifact s, all of them looked fully confident, but only Su Biyue looked like he did not care.


    In this Divine Ranked Class Two, she had never received any importance, but because her strength was too low, she was always bullied and always looked down upon. Thus, not only did she not want to help them, she even hated these people to the bones!


    On the other side, Su Xiruo and the rest were also present at the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. After walking around for a long time, they entered the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and went deeper into the grounds.


    After all, it was impossible to find that Six Rank Spiritual Beast near the superficial level of Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Only in the depths of the mountain range would they be able to see it.


    Just as they entered the depths of the mountain range, the white jade pendant in Su Xiruo''s hands continuously glowed, signalling that the Six Rank Spiritual Beast was close by. However, after walking around for a long time, they still could not find any spirit beasts.


    Suddenly, they returned to their original spots, seeing the familiar scene in front of them, Mu Lingxi could not help but shake his head: "This spirit beast, is deliberately playing with us right?"


    Furthermore, they were being played around with!


    "If this continues, I''m afraid it will forever be a dead end." Xiao Muran was obviously impatient, he only wanted to face the spirit beasts head on.


    "Why don''t we take a rest first?" At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo suggested, "Generally speaking, if the spirit beasts see that we have let down their guard, they might take the initiative to attack us."


    The others did not have any complaints, but it just so happened that they were tired too. Only Xiao Muran was obviously not willing to give up.


    "You guys rest, I''ll go find it myself." At this time, Xiao Muran only wanted to find a spirit beast and finish the mission quickly.


    However, why were these people not anxious at all? Aren''t they afraid that the other two classes will snatch the spirit beasts away?


    "Xiao Muran, don''t leave the team as you please!" Su Xiruo said lightly. Her voice was not loud, but it was slightly oppressive.


    Xiao Muran curled his fingers tightly, although he knew that leaving the team at will was not good, but in his heart, he could not help but say, "I will just walk around casually, I won''t go too far!"


    After he finished speaking, Xiao Muran was about to turn around and leave, but a burst of power caught him off guard and came from behind, pushing him out.


    In the next second, the white jade pendant in Su Xiruo''s hand released a golden light again, swaying slightly, stronger than any of his previous reactions!


    "Spirit beasts are in the surroundings!"


    Everyone was on high alert. As soon as they attacked, they were hit by a force and fell to the ground.


    The sky was fickle, the winds and clouds suddenly changed. Accompanied by a whistling sound, a huge creature appeared in front of everyone. Its body was blood-red, and six fox tails were swaying behind it. Its fangs were sharp, and it had a vicious expression on its face!


    Six Rank Spiritual Beast, Six-Tailed Mystic Fox!


    "It''s here, it''s finally here!" Xiao Muran crawled up from the ground, immediately feeling a bit excited.


    However, from the looks of it, this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was extremely ferocious and was not someone they could easily deal with.


    "Shining." Su Xiruo turned and said to Ye Zhuozhuo, "Find a concealed place to hide. After a while, treat the injured in time."


    If Blinding Light stayed and fought against the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, he would definitely suffer. After all, the disparity in strength was too great!


    "Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo knew that this was the only thing he could do to help, so he hurriedly found a huge boulder and hid himself.


    As for the remaining six, they were already well-prepared. They took out their weapons and surrounded the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox.


    The Six-Tailed Mystic Fox did not say anything, only endless killing remained in its scarlet eyes. With a slap of its palm, the earth crumbled and dust was swept across, defeating one or two people''s attacks.


    Xiao Muran teleported to the back of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, planning to sneak an attack from behind while it was fighting with the others.


    He curled his fingers tightly, and used all his might to slash towards the back of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox. Before he could even touch it, he was swept away by the fox tail, and just as he was about to climb up to give chase, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox did not give him any chance to catch his breath, and the blood-red fox tail firmly trapped his body inside.


    In the next second, Xiao Muran only felt that it was hard to breathe. No matter how many Spiritual Strength he had, he would not be able to unleash them.


    He had originally thought that with his Eight-star, it wouldn''t be so difficult for him to get close to the Six Rank Spiritual Beast, but now, even if someone were to help him deal with this spirit beast, it would still be difficult for him to make contact with it.


    It looked like the difference between his and his Spirit Monarch was still too far!


    "Xiao Muran, what are you doing?" Mu Lingxi couldn''t help but berate him.


    At this time, the six of them were working together. Su Xiruo, Qing Xuan, and Xiao Muran, were originally responsible for facing the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox head on. The other three were responsible for ambushing them from behind and from other positions.


    However, Xiao Muran had overestimated the situation and wanted to ambush the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox from behind and kill it immediately. This scene immediately lost balance, as Qing Xuan and Bai Yanxi were both injured when the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox took advantage of this loophole.


    Hiding in the shadows, Ye Zhuozhuo saw that someone was injured and immediately rushed forward to treat the two of them.


    Xiao Muran was entangled by the fox''s tail, so when the three of them fought against the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, they found it even harder to resist. They could only defend and retreat step by step!


    Su Xiruo''s toes lightly touched the ground, dodging the claws of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox. She frowned, and her graceful figure flashed behind the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, waiting for the moment it turned around.


    If he had been even half a second late, he would have been hit.


    In a split second, Xiao Muran broke free from the restraints, while the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox seemed to have fallen into a frenzy as it raised its palm and swatted Su Xiruo away, spitting blood.


    Before Su Xiruo could react, the tail that carried a berserk force directly flew towards her. She immediately turned around, and when the tail fell on the ground, it caused a crack in the ground!


    rushed to help as the Spiritual Strength pushed the fox tail away. Unexpectedly, the fox tail turned around and struck Mu Lingxi, knocking him back a few metres.


    The entire scene had become chaotic, filled with seriousness and coldness.


    Ye Zhuozhuo walked up, and held Su Xiruo''s small hand. "Xiruo, let me treat your injuries."


    "No need." Su Xiruo rejected them flatly, seeing that the few of them were almost unable to handle the attacks of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, he only thought of helping as soon as possible, extended his hand out to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth, then flew up with the Can Meng in his hands.


    The subordinate battle lasted for more than six hours. Both sides were still in a deadlock, and Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was also injured to varying degrees. It was obvious that they couldn''t continue to fight.


    "Xiruo, I think this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox has put in a lot of effort!" Mu Lingxi said indifferently, "As long as we can take another four hours, I''m afraid he won''t be able to hold on!"


    "Yeah, but be careful." With regards to all of this, Su Xiruo was extremely careful, even though the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox had already consumed a lot of energy, she did not dare to slack off.


    The Six-Tailed Mystic Fox roared and pushed away the two people. It was probably because it felt that if it continued to burn out like this, there wouldn''t be any benefits to him.


    Seeing that the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox had stopped, Su Xiruo immediately instructed: "Everyone get ready, kill it in one go!"


    This was a good time!

 C102

    "Yes." Everyone had already mentally prepared themselves as Spiritual Strength began to gather around their bodies. They planned to use a heavy blow to directly strangle this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox!


    Who knew, just as they were about to attack, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox did not follow the normal route, the fox claws landed on the ground, stirring up a layer of mist, suddenly, their vision blurred, and they could not see her position clearly, even with the Spiritual Strength, they could not sense her.


    Not good, this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox is about to use illusion!


    Su Xiruo turned his head, the rest of them had already disappeared, and with the huge Spirit Beast Mountain Range, she was the only one left.


    "Ling Xi, shine!" She called out the names of these two people and walked around in a circle, but there was no sign of them.


    Where did they all go? Could it be that they were taken to another place by the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox?


    Looking at the set of white jade pendant in her hands, there was no longer any reaction. In other words, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was no longer near her.


    Gu Jingrou and the others carefully approached the location of the Snow Phoenix. At this moment, the students of Divine Ranked Class One were engaged in an intense battle with the Snow Phoenix.


    The man in the lead was the leader of the Divine Ranked Class One, Yun Lan. With his swift and decisive movements, in front of a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, there was no need to fear anything.


    Gradually, the Snow Phoenix fell into a slightly disadvantageous position.


    "Elder sister, they are all exhausted. Right now, we have a good opportunity to kill Xue Feng!" Gu Wanyun could no longer hold back and wanted to snatch the Spirit Beast.


    Gu Jingrou nodded his head slightly, "Remember, you have to be fast when you attack, you can''t let them get any flaws!"


    Although the people from the Divine Ranked Class One had already expended a lot of energy, Gu Jingrou was still a little afraid of Yun Lan in his heart.


    Although she was only one level lower than Yun Lan, every time she fought with Yun Lan, she would lose to him without any suspense. It was simply impossible to find any flaws on him.


    But this time, the situation was different. If he succeeded in snatching the spirit beasts, then he would be above Yun Lan!


    As a result, the seven of them were ready to make their move and appeared from the shadows to attack the resting Snow Phoenix.


    Suddenly, Yun Lan and the rest were surprised.


    and the others were caught unawares, and only Gu Jingrou was able to barely catch the injuries he sustained from dodging.


    "Humph!" In the next second, Yun Lan was flustered and exasperated, she flew up and pushed Gu Jingrou back with her palm, and then, before she could even react, she had already grabbed her by the neck.


    "You ¡­ cough, cough ¡­" Gu Jingrou suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the concealed weapon quietly made its move, sneak attacking and injuring Yun Lan''s shoulder.


    Only then did Yun Lan let go of his hand, and heavily threw Gu Jingrou onto the ground. "Gu Jingrou, what do you mean by this? You want to snatch the Beast Core from me? "


    Gu Jingrou feigned calmness and said coldly: "Steal? You must be joking. This hunting mission was a competitive one to begin with, right? "


    What she said was blatantly challenging Yun Lan!


    "Sure." Yun Lan laughed, then said to the rest of the Divine Ranked Class One, "You guys don''t have to worry, continue killing.


    His tone was extremely arrogant, as if he was telling Gu Jingrou, to deal with you, just me alone is enough!


    "Yun Lan, don''t think that you can be so arrogant. Just by yourself, you think you can stop all of us?" Gu Wanyun stood behind Gu Jingrou and was a little angry.


    Even if Yun Lan had nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, they weren''t weak either. This Yun Lan, daring to say such arrogant words, should have truly given him a lesson!


    "Then let''s give it a try." Yun Lan did not place them in his eyes at all.


    Gu Jingrou''s fingers curled tightly, the weapon in his hand was filled with Spiritual Strength, and when Yun Lan raised his palm, he gently drew a cross in the air, congealing into a powerful barrier, blocking in front of everyone.


    "Do you think we can''t break this Barrier?" Gu Wanyun opened his eyes wide. Although he said it like that, he was still a little anxious.


    But Gu Jingrou could tell with just a glance, with their strength, they would at most be able to unravel the Barrier in the time it took for an incense stick to burn.


    Yun Lan turned his head and said to Lin Yuan and the others: "Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I want you all to take care of the Snow Phoenix!"


    The leader gave the order, and the students of Divine Ranked Class One, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, displayed their abilities and sent their final attacks towards the Snow Phoenix.


    At first, Gu Jingrou was sure that they wouldn''t be able to handle this ferocious Snow Phoenix within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, but once the battle started, she started to become anxious when she saw that their Divine Ranked Class One and coordination were improving.


    "Gu Jingrou, you shouldn''t have, you shouldn''t have, and you shouldn''t have snatched something from my hands." Yun Lan coldly snorted, and taunted, "Rather than wasting time like this, it would be better to quickly find another spirit beast, and perhaps compete with that Heavenly Ranked Class Three!"


    Gu Jingrou''s finger bones were tightly curled, and he saw that Xue Feng was about to be defeated, and the time it took to burn an incense stick, was also getting closer and closer.


    She gathered all her strength and formed a palm, opening the Barrier with a loud bang. Then, her body turned into a blur, and circled around Yun Lan.


    "Damn it!" After being played around with by her, Yun Lan was about to give chase, but he was stopped by Gu Wanyun and the rest.


    He still needed to solve all the problems one by one!


    The rest of the Divine Ranked Class One were all repelled by that last strike from the Snow Phoenix. Gu Jingrou seized the opportunity to rush forward, and saw that the Beast Core was right in front of him, within reach!


    Then, just as she was about to go get the Beast Core, there was a vine wrapped around her waist. Lin Yuan made a move, waved the vine and heavily flung Gu Jingrou''s body out, catching the Snow Phoenix''s Beast Core herself.


    After the dust settled, Gu Jingrou lied on the ground and punched the ground in annoyance, looking flustered and exasperated.


    It''s all over. Even if she had put in all her effort, she couldn''t snatch the Beast Core from Yun Lan''s hands. Eggs, were destined to never touch rocks.


    "Senior Brother Yun Lan, we have the Beast Core!" Lin Yuan sent the Beast Core over to Yun Lan.


    Yun Lan received the Beast Core and laughed complacently, as if he felt that this Beast Core deserved its name. He glanced at Gu Jingrou condescendingly and taunted: "Gu Jingrou, you still can''t do it!"


    Gu Jingrou lowered his head, he only felt that he was losing all his face, and ignored Yun Lan. He turned and ordered Gu Wanyun and the others, "Let''s go!"


    Since Xue Feng had already failed, then they did not have the time to be upset about it. Instead, it would be better to focus all their energy on the other spirit beast.


    Su Xiruo travelled through the forest alone, and he could not see the end of the line of sight. He could not see any figures or even a single spirit beast.


    "Ruo Er..."


    Suddenly, a familiar and familiar female voice came from above, and caught Su Xiruo''s attention.


    This was his mother''s voice!


    Su Xiruo followed the direction of the voice and went all the way there. As for his mother''s voice, it continuously lingered by his ears, and wouldn''t go away.


    "Mother, where are you?" She was anxious to find her mother.


    "Ruo Er, I''m here..." Finally, a beautiful young woman appeared not far in front of her. She was dressed in white, and her hair was tied up with a simple silver hairpin, revealing a gentle smile.


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment, then slowly walked forward, walking in front of the young wife, and slowly said: "Mother, you''re not dead! Is it really you? "


    It had been a long time since she had seen her mother. Even so, her mother''s appearance had been deeply engraved in her mind, and she couldn''t get rid of it.


    "Mn, Ruo Er, I am mother." The young woman smiled and said, "My daughter has already grown up like this."


    In the next second, Su Xiruo could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and threw himself into his mother''s embrace. "Mother, I thought ¡­ I''ll never see you again in my life. "


    Five years ago, her mother suddenly asked her to go alone to pick the herbs. Although she had her doubts, she was still willing to do more for her mother, so she went up the mountain alone.


    Who would have known that after parting with her mother, they would be separated forever? When she returned, her father had already killed her mother, and in a single night, the two people she was closest to no longer existed!

 C103

    The young woman stretched out her hands and hugged Su Xiruo. A sinister look flashed across her eyes, but her mouth was still incomparably gentle: "Ruo Er, do you miss your mother?"


    "Of course." Su Xiruo answered truthfully, "For the past five years, I have been thinking of you at every moment, every second, thinking of the day you would be able to return to my side!"


    The young woman smiled. Her voice became even gentler and even became a bit dreamy. "It''s the same with mother. She thinks about you all the time and tells mother what you''ve experienced in the past five years."


    Su Xiruo leaned on her chest, his eyes red, and his messy thoughts suddenly filled her heart.


    On the other side, Ye Zhuozhuo had also lost his way. He walked alone amidst the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, at a loss of what to do.


    "Ruo Ruo, A Xi!" As she walked, she called out their names. She accidentally fell to the ground and twisted her ankle. "Ah!"


    Just as she was at her wit''s end, a big hand reached out for her. Raising her head, she saw Mu Lingxi looking at her gently, his tone extremely gentle: "Shining, are you alright?"


    Seeing that it was A Xi, Ye Zhuozhuo decisively gave her his small hand. After being pulled up by him, she staggered for a bit, and Mu Lingxi immediately held onto her body.


    "A Xi, where did you run off to? How come in the blink of an eye, you''re all gone?" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be a little afraid as she dove into Mu Lingxi''s embrace, afraid that he would disappear right in front of her eyes again, "I''m really scared, what should I do if all of you are gone?"


    The corner of Mu Lingxi''s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, as though he still carried some killing intent, but his mouth was still incomparably gentle: "Why would I abandon you?"


    "What about them?" Ye Zhuozhuo was worried about the others, "Will they be in danger?"


    "What''s wrong? Shining? Aren''t you happy that you can be alone with me?" Mu Lingxi hugged her, and did not let her move, as he asked probingly.


    "No." Ye Zhuozhuo raised her eyes and looked at him, "To be able to be alone with you, of course I''m extremely happy, but now ¡­"


    Now, they had more important things to do, they still wanted to hunt Six-Tailed Mystic Fox s!


    "Brilliant, don''t worry. The spirit beasts have already been taken care of. Right now, I have something I want to say to you in private. Are you willing to give me some time?" Mu Lingxi''s tone sounded especially serious.


    It was rare to see A Xi being so serious, which surprised him a bit, so he asked: "Tell me!"


    Mu Lingxi smiled at her, lowered his body and softly whispered into her ear: "Shining, are you willing to be my wangfei?"


    "Huh?" Suddenly being asked this question, Ye Zhuozhuo was frightened, but deep in his heart, he was still rather happy. With his head lowered, his face flushed red, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"


    Mu Lingxi raised his hand and dotingly caressed her hair: "Silly girl, I''ve long wanted to tell you this. It''s just that I don''t know if you''ll reject it or not."


    "Since you''ve already said it, why would you be afraid of being rejected?" Ye Zhuozhuo didn''t even look at his eyes, his heart tensed to the extreme.


    This fool, as long as he was willing to say such words, how could he refuse?


    "So, you promised me?" Mu Lingxi asked while stroking the vines.


    Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, and nodded his head to show his tacit consent.


    Mu Lingxi''s face revealed a sinister smile, he pulled at Ye Zhuozhuo''s little hand: "Brilliant, let''s go, I''ll bring you to a place!"


    "Where are you taking me!" Before Ye Zhuozhuo could finish his words, he was pulled away by Mu Lingxi.


    On Bai Yanxi''s side, she was alone as she walked to the end of the mountain range. Then, she suddenly arrived at the Great Gan Empire street.


    She was standing outside a hall, and inside the hall, it was filled with cheers and jubilation. Around her, there were suddenly a lot of curses and curses.


    "The genius Refiner of the Bai Family is only mediocre!"


    "Yan Xi, you are truly shameless. In this Refiner Competition, you can''t even pass the first round!"


    "You have truly blinded all of father''s expectations!"


    The curses that filled the sky and the praises in the hall formed a clear contrast. This scene was extremely familiar, and instantly pulled Bai Yanxi''s thoughts back to three years ago!


    Three years ago, she was a genius Refiner of the Night City of Great Gan Empire. At the age of ten, she had the talent to refine a Spiritual Ranked by herself when she was twelve!


    With such an achievement, she was suddenly promoted to the top of the clouds. Holding a certain winning stance, she went to participate in the Refiner Great Games held in the capital.


    Who would have thought that with such a large number of strong practitioners in the Refiner Competition and Bai Yanxi''s weak mental state, in the end, he could not even pass the first round and became the laughing stock of the entire Refiner Competition!


    From then on, Bai Yanxi had sunk into depravity again and again, and lost all confidence in the profession of Refiner. That time, had also become the most painful memory in her life.


    Later on, her master was also met with a calamity, and that was why she chose to come to the Mercenary Academy to raise her strength. One day, she would avenge her master!


    But even so, every time she recalled that memory, it would be incomparably painful. She would only have to avoid it!


    "No, it''s not like that!" Bai Yanxi covered his ears, wanting to block out the curses and chiding.


    But no matter what, she couldn''t get rid of it. That memory had already become a shadow in her mind!


    She closed her eyes and tried to get rid of it, but those things, one by one, were imprinted into her mind like magic.


    Ah!


    Finally, she couldn''t help but scream as if she had lost her mind. She wanted to frantically escape, but she was powerless to do anything.


    Qing Xuan unknowingly returned to the Academy from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    Standing in front of him was a masked Black Man. In the Black Man''s embrace was a young girl dressed in pink, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.


    "Qing Er!" Qing Xuan curled his fingers tightly, and his usually calm face actually became flustered and anxious, "Hurry and let her go."


    "Haha." The Black Man faced the sky and laughed, threatening, "I already told you, use a hundred thousand gold to save your sister. If there''s one less, I want her dead without a burial ground!"


    Qing Xuan immediately came to a compromise: "I have already tried my best to raise gold coins, don''t hurt Qing Er, if there is anything you want, just come at me, don''t hurt her!"


    "Big brother, don''t worry about me ¡­" Qing Er unclearly said something that made Qing Xuan''s heart ache even more.


    "It''s already been so long, how long are you going to let me go?" Black Man''s face was filled with impatience, "I''m getting impatient, I want you to take out a hundred thousand gold right now, or else, I''ll suck all her Blood Essence!"


    With that, the Black Man grabbed Qing Er''s neck and approached him.


    "No, no!" Qing Xuan shook his head, and anxiously stopped her, and spoke with an almost pleading tone: "I beg you, if you want the Blood Essence, I have plenty, you come at me, don''t hurt my sister!"


    Qing Er was his only family member now. If he could not even protect his only sister, then there would be no meaning in living in this world.


    Therefore, even if he had to risk his life, he could not let his little sister be harmed!


    Black Man acted as if he did not hear his words, he grabbed Qing Er by the neck and increased the strength in his hands. The young lady''s miserable scream pierced the sky!


    "Qing Er, don''t, don''t!" Qing Xuan immediately went forward to stop them, but he could not touch Black Man''s body at all.


    Following that, Qing Er''s shrill cries for help could be heard. "Brother, quickly come and save me, quickly save me!"


    "Qing Er, Qing Er!" Qing Xuan turned around again and saw his sister''s corpse lying in front of him. It was motionless and her entire body was stained with blood.


    Ah!" He embraced the young lady whose body was covered in blood. However, he did not notice that a sharp blade had pierced into his shoulder from behind, dripping with blood!


    "Qing Er, big brother is here to accompany you, don''t be afraid!" At this moment, he only wanted to die with his sister!

 C104

    The air within the Spirit Beast Mountain Range was especially tranquil. The young woman glanced at the young girl in her embrace, and probingly spoke: "Xiruo, do you want to stay here forever, and accompany your mother?"


    This tone sounded strange, and it immediately interrupted Su Xiruo''s train of thoughts.


    "Mother, what did you say?" Su Xiruo asked indifferently.


    The young woman glanced at her, then carefully repeated the words she had just said again, "What I mean is, do you want to stay or not? You have been accompanying your mother all this time? "


    In an instant, Su Xiruo saw a strange glint of light in her eyes. It was an extremely unfamiliar gaze, so unfamiliar that she couldn''t help but shiver, and also became a little more clear-headed.


    No, my mother is already dead. Five years ago, she was killed by Su Yuanqing, and the one standing in front of me right now is not my mother, but the illusion of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox!


    She shook her head, trying to become more clear-headed. The young woman''s gentle smile tried to completely melt her consciousness, "Ruo Er, stay here with mother. Mother is very lonely here alone!"


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones tightened, and she tried her best to pull herself out of the illusion. She let go of the young wife''s hand, and the Can Meng came out of her sleeve, piercing straight into the young woman''s chest.


    "Ruo Er, you ¡­" The young woman clutched at her chest, trying to make one last struggle.


    "Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, show yourself." Su Xiruo snorted coldly to the extreme.


    Immediately, the young woman revealed a strange smile, turned into a wisp of smoke, and disappeared in front of Su Xiruo.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo felt that his entire vision was covered by the dense fog. When he regained his senses, he was still in Spirit Beast Mountain Range, while Mu Lingxi and the rest of the six were all seated cross-legged at the side.


    Not good, they were still trapped in the illusion!


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo immediately walked up to them and tried to wake them up: "Searing, you guys wake up!"


    They couldn''t hear their own voices at all, and were completely immersed in this dreamland. If they didn''t pull out from this dreamland in time, they might die in this dreamland in the end!


    "Xiruo!" Just as Su Xiruo was burning with anxiety, a familiar voice sounded beside her ear.


    Su Xiruo turned his head around, only to see Yun Qian appearing behind her, smiling faintly.


    Su Xiruo was startled. He was happy at first, but then he immediately increased his vigilance.


    That''s not right! How could Yun Qian appear in this place? This must be another Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s illusion!


    Thinking up to here, Su Xiruo took out the Can Meng, and the moment the dagger was placed on his neck, Helian Yunqian opened his mouth and said: "Xiruo, it''s me, I''m not an illusion."


    Wasn''t it an illusion? Su Xiruo was a little confused, he then asked: "How can I prove that you are not an illusion?"


    Helian Yunqian was feeling helpless, but at this time, he suddenly sensed something: "It''s behind you!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head and the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was indeed right behind her.


    In the next second, Helian Yunqian hugged her waist, and retreated quickly. The ground in the same place had been ripped apart!


    Su Xiruo''s mind went blank, and only now did he realize what had happened. His first reaction was to hug Yun Qian in ecstasy, "Yun Qian, it''s really you!"


    Just a moment ago, she had truly thought that she was dreaming and that she had seen Yun Qian in the illusion. She did not expect that this was actually true.


    "I came to see you." Helian Yunqian glanced at the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox behind him, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes.


    This Spirit Beast seemed to have lost its mind, and only slaughter remained in its eyes. Was everything that had happened recently really related to Fox Clan?


    "Is this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox the spirit beast you are hunting?" he asked flatly.


    "That''s right." Just as Su Xiruo finished answering, he suddenly thought of something.


    She remembered that the first time she saw Yun Qian in the General''S Estate, it was at the soup pond, where he had revealed a snow-white fox tail.


    Looking back at this moment, Yun Qian''s peculiar gaze should have been because he had seen his fellow clansmen from the Fox Clan!


    "Yun Qian, tell me the truth ¡­"


    "I''ll explain it to you later." Helian Yunqian interrupted her, "Let me handle this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox."


    Who knew that before Su Xiruo could even speak, he was interrupted by a slightly angry male voice, "You can''t!"


    An afterimage flashed, and Liang Si appeared in front of the two of them. He first bowed to Helian Yunqian: Master Helian.


    Helian Yunqian raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. She knew what the old man wanted to say.


    Sure enough, Liang Si spoke in a righteous tone: "Master Helian, don''t forget the rules of this academy. You cannot help these students, otherwise, we will count it as their failure! I think, my lord, you don''t want these students to become your greenhouse flowers forever without any training? "


    Helian Yunqian coldly snorted, not putting his words to heart: "When did I ever say I wanted to do it myself? Against this guy, my students are more than enough. "


    Liang Si held back his laughter, but he was still a bit worried: "Master Helian, you have to measure your abilities in everything you do, ah. For these students of yours, only one person has broken through the illusion realm, how can a five star Heavenly Spirit Master contend against Six Rank Spiritual Beast?"


    Helian Yunqian''s expression did not change, and he did not answer Liang Si''s question. Instead, he asked Su Xiruo, "Xiruo, do you have confidence in killing this Six Rank Spiritual Beast and making this old ¡­ to broaden Teacher Liang Si''s horizons? "


    "Me?" After Su Xiruo heard this, the pressure in his heart became a little big.


    "Yes."


    The Six Rank Spiritual Beast s were equivalent to the strength of a human Spirit Monarch, and it was impossible for her, who was merely a five star Heavenly Spirit Master, to be a match for it. Moreover, just now, the six of their Heavenly Spirit Master were barely able to contend against the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox.


    Was she alone now? Didn''t this guy, Yun Qian, push him into a pit of fire?


    Seeing that she did not agree for a long time, Helian Yunqian opened her lips and softly mouthed: "Trust me."


    Su Xiruo thought, I believe in you, but I don''t believe in myself!


    But in this current situation, Liang Si was right beside him, waiting to see Yun Qian make a joke out of them, and their Heavenly Ranked Class Three. If he backed down just like this, he was afraid that he would be the first one to be looked down upon.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo made up his mind and agreed: "Alright, since teacher has spoken, then I will give it a try."


    In the next second, a satisfied smile appeared on Helian Yunqian''s face: "Go."


    Su Xiruo turned her head and looked at the berserking Six-Tailed Mystic Fox behind her. Her fox claws were grabbing towards the faces of Ye Zhuozhuo and the others, but in the nick of time, she threw out a Venomous Vine from her sleeves and wrapped herself tightly around the fox claws.


    After being in a stalemate for a moment, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox swung its arm, together with the Venomous Vine, it threw Su Xiruo''s entire person into the air, and instantly lost his center of gravity.


    Just as Su Xiruo was at a loss for what to do, a light voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Don''t be afraid of it, the weakness lies on the left side of your abdomen.


    Su Xiruo used all his might to grab onto the vine and jumped onto the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s body. The Can Meng made its move, but was unable to approach its left abdomen, so he could only stab it in the arm.


    Following that, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was stimulated, and a burst of force pushed Su Xiruo out of its back.


    Grab it and attack his fox tail first!


    That magnetic prompt once again rang in his mind. Su Xiruo summoned his strength and shot out a vine to wrap around the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s tail. He flew up and chopped down with his blade, fast and accurate, just barely dodging the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s attack position.


    For a moment, Su Xiruo seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.


    Dodge!


    These words seemed to be a bit slow, but suddenly, Su Xiruo was struck by a force from the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s right arm, and he fell down from the spirit beast''s body.


    Liang Si watched from the side and could not help but laugh: "Master Helian, your student is indeed a little clever, but his strength is still lacking a little. If you want to deal with this Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, I''m afraid it will be difficult."


    Helian Yunqian curled his fingers tightly, and his expression became serious: "Let''s see the end, then make a decision."


    Although it seemed a bit difficult now, he still believed in Xiruo.

 C105

    Su Xiruo was struck to the ground, seeing that the big guy was still full of energy and was full of killing intent, he moved his body a little, to pick up the Can Meng that had just fallen on the ground.


    Just when she touched it, a layer of spirit beast blood essence had already been absorbed into the Can Meng. As the golden light spread, she felt that after the Can Meng absorbed the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s blood and Spiritual Strength, it had become much sharper than before!


    He leveled up, the Can Meng leveled up to the high level Profound Rank!


    In an instant, the moment Su Xiruo''s fingertip touched the blade, he only felt a strong surge of Spiritual Strength entering his body, filling up his entire body in an instant.


    Did he also advance to the next level? No, that''s not right, this power did not belong to her, but was obtained temporarily through the Can Meng. At this moment, she felt that even if she were to go against Gu Jingrou, she might not necessarily lose!


    Don''t just stand there. The Cherry Blossom Needle attacks its left abdomen!


    Yun Qian''s voice suddenly rang in his mind, Su Xiruo did not dare to slack, as over 10 hidden weapons flew out from his sleeves.


    The difference was that because the Sakura Thrust was a Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, every time she used it before, it would consume a huge amount of Spiritual Strength and stamina. However, this time, she actually did not feel any pressure and easily used the Sakura Thrust.


    The swift concealed weapon was like lightning, but in the end, it was only the arm of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox that was struck, and its arm could be seen to unconsciously protect the left side of its abdomen.


    It seems that place is its weakness!


    Su Xiruo continued his attack. This time, it was the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox that started to feel tired, it lost two of its fox tails and its attack was also relatively weaker.


    However, Six Rank Spiritual Beast were Six Rank Spiritual Beast s after all. With just a sweep of his hand, he could easily kill anyone of the Heavenly Spirit Master rank!


    "Why did this girl suddenly become so much stronger?" Liang Si watched on from the side as Su Xiruo''s movements got faster and faster, and he was somewhat dumbstruck.


    He secretly sized up Helian Yunqian. He thought, could it be that Master Helian was doing something and secretly helped that girl?


    Helian Yunqian met his gaze and knew what he was thinking in his heart.


    "How strange, how did he suddenly become so strong?" Liang Si still could not understand, and slightly frowned, "Could it be that he used medicine?"


    Hearing this, Helian Yunqian''s face sank, and said coldly: "Liang Si, before anything is said, you should consider it carefully. After all, you should be responsible for it. You slandered my student''s medicine today. If you do not find out about this matter, I will investigate everything till the end! "


    Liang Si was shocked by his words. She realised that the Master Helian was serious. After all, this was the first time she had seen him being so concerned about something.


    Thus, he immediately changed his attitude, "Master Helian, this old man was just guessing randomly. The words just now, this old man shall retract, and shall make amends to you!"


    It would not be a good thing to offend the Master Helian.


    Helian Yunqian no longer bothered with him, she was completely focused on her own wife, she had no other intentions at all.


    Su Xiruo held the Can Meng in his hand. At this time, his forehead was already sweating a little, and there were many different degrees of superficial wounds on his body. He looked quite miserable.


    If this continued, he was afraid that he would still not be a match for the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox. Furthermore, he did not know how long this short period of increase in strength would last.


    She turned her head to look at the people behind her who were still in the illusion world. A few of them were already injured, so she became even more anxious.


    "Brush ~ ~ ~"


    The fox tail swept horizontally, caught off guard, and sent Su Xiruo''s light body flying. He landed heavily on the ground and wanted to get up, but it seemed like he did not have the strength to do so.


    The Six-Tailed Mystic Fox slowly approached her body, wanting to give her one last strike to end this fight.


    Liang Si snorted coldly, thinking, in the end, that girl''s strength was still lacking.


    Helian Yunqian''s fingers were curled tightly together, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she could not hold it in anymore, planning to go up and help her solve this problem!


    Who cares what kind of face it had in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, or whether it would slap one''s face or not, at this moment, he only thought that it was possible for Xi Ruo to be completely unharmed.


    In the next second, he turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Su Xiruo, pulling her up from the ground.


    "Master Helian, what are you doing?" Liang Si could not bear to continue watching this and wanted to stop her.


    Helian Yunqian did not pay attention to him. The berserk Spiritual Strength converged onto the center of his palm, and just as he was about to attack, he was stopped by Su Xiruo.


    "Yun Qian, stand back. I can deal with it!" Su Xiruo stared at the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox coldly, his tone firm.


    "But ¡­"


    "Trust me." Her voice was not loud, but it expressed her determination.


    She couldn''t let Liang Si look down on her, and everyone else look down on her. She also couldn''t let Yun Qian lose face in front of Liang Si because of her!


    No matter what, she needed him to get through this trial.


    Helian Yunqian slowly loosened his finger bones, hesitated for a moment, but before he retreated, Su Xiruo''s body turned into a blur and disappeared, instantly appearing behind the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox.


    Was she going to use the second Sakura Thrust?


    After fighting for so long, this girl had already used up most of her energy. If she continued to use her Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, the possibility of failure was extremely high!


    Moreover, even if she succeeded, she would likely suffer a backlash.


    [Does she really want to die?]


    The Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was also prepared for battle now, the berserk Spiritual Strength condensed into the center of its palm, instantly causing the surrounding dirt and sand to fly up into the sky, and even the ground started to tremble slightly.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    threw out the Can Meng and stabbed it into the left side of the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s abdomen. In the next second, seeing that his own body was also knocked away by the Spiritual Strength, Helian Yunqian was able to rush forward in time to hug her body, blocking all of the attacks with his sleeves!


    Su Xiruo suddenly felt that the special Spiritual Strength in her body had disappeared, and the Can Meng had lost its luster. It looked no different from a normal dagger, but she felt that her own Spiritual Strength was truly much richer than before.


    "Xi Ruo, you''ve leveled up."


    Only now did Su Xiruo realize that he had just broken through the six star Heavenly Spirit Master, and perfectly levelled up!


    At the same time, the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox was struck by the Cherry Blossom Sting and the Can Meng. It roared into the sky, and the whistling sound caused the leaves to fall, and in the end, it exhausted all its energy and laid on the ground, unable to move!


    "Crack ~ ~ ~"


    Everyone opened their eyes. When they woke up from the illusion, they saw that the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox had already fallen to the ground and died. They did not know what had happened.


    "What''s going on?" Mu Lingxi opened his eyes wide, looking at the big fellow on the ground, "How did it end so quickly?"


    "Are all of you okay?" Su Xiruo asked them indifferently.


    Ye Zhuozhuo shook her head lightly, "I just feel like I just had a dream, a very real dream, but I just can''t wake up no matter what."


    "You have been infected by the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox''s illusion." Helian Yunqian''s thin lips slightly opened as she explained, "However, Xi Ruo has already subdued her Six-Tailed Mystic Fox. She''s fine now."


    Hearing this, everyone''s jaws almost dropped from shock.


    "How is this possible?" Xiao Muran was the first to not believe it, "Su Xiruo, with just you alone, a five star Heavenly Spirit Master, how could you be a match for the Six Rank Spiritual Beast?"


    But then, he discovered that something was not right and discovered that the Spiritual Strength around Su Xiruo''s body had undergone some changes. You... When did you advance to a six star Heavenly Spirit Master? "


    "Should be, should be just now." Su Xiruo wasn''t too sure either. After killing the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, she felt that the Spiritual Strength in her body had become a lot more abundant, and then she accidentally levelled up.


    Hearing her say that, Xiao Muran felt extremely jealous in his heart. This girl, isn''t levelling up a little too easy?


    He had stopped at the Eight-star for more than half a year already, yet there was no signs of him breaking through at all. Yet this girl actually advanced just like that?


    This way, the sense of crisis in Xiao Muran''s heart became even more intense. He was determined to make full use of this opportunity to cultivate and not let this little girl compete with him!

 C106

    He had never seen a five star Heavenly Spirit Master being able to subdue a Six Rank Spiritual Beast on its own, and also making use of the momentum to advance in cultivation.


    At this time, Gu Jingrou and the rest had just reached the place following the white jade pendant''s fluctuations. Originally, they thought that they could grab the opportunity, but who would have known that the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox s would have already fallen to the ground and died.


    "Teacher Liang Si, this..." Gu Jingrou looked at Liang Si, his tone sounding a little unresigned.


    "You guys came a bit late. What a pity." Liang Si let out a helpless sigh. In his heart, he was more partial towards the Divine Ranked Class Two after all, but he couldn''t help but feel that they were disappointing!


    "What?" Hearing that, Gu Jingrou''s finger bones curled tightly, and his hateful gaze landed on Su Xiruo who was at the side.


    At this moment, Su Xiruo was surrounded by a group of people and all of the glory and halos seemed to be occupied by her alone.


    She was clearly stronger than Su Xiruo, but because they were lucky, they took the initiative and killed the Six Rank Spiritual Beast first!


    "Heh, what''s there to be proud about? They are just lucky!" Gu Wanyun said angrily.


    "Shut up!" Gu Jingrou interrupted her, "If it weren''t for you delaying, we might have arrived earlier. All of this was because of you!"


    Hearing her words, Gu Wanyun was stunned, and naturally refused to admit his mistake. "I ¡­ What does that have to do with me? "


    "Look, the Master Helian is here too!" Qin Zichen seemed to have realized something, "In my opinion, maybe the Master Helian helped them. Otherwise, how could these group of people subdue the Six Rank Spiritual Beast so quickly?"


    Hearing that, Gu Jingrou was even angrier.


    Their Divine Ranked Class Two had worked hard to complete missions, but she, Su Xiruo, had done it.


    "I think the relationship between these two is really not simple!" Gu Wanyun snorted, he suddenly thought about the matter before, where he was sentenced to imprisonment for wounding Su Xiruo.


    Now that he thought about it, it was very possible that Master Helian had really helped Su Xiruo.


    "Hmph, it must be that shameless woman, Su Xiruo, who hooked up with the Master Helian!"


    At the side of the Divine Ranked Class Two, there was a sea of regret and mutual criticism. Only Su Biyue remained silent with his head down, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, as if he still had a trace of a faint smile.


    At this moment, in her eyes, there was only that godlike person.


    She walked up to Su Xiruo and said in a friendly tone: "Sister Cyril, congratulations."


    Although she was talking to Su Xiruo, she still stole a glance at Helian Yunqian from time to time.


    Ye Zhuozhuo caught all of her little movements and couldn''t help but ask: "Aren''t you supposed to be at the Divine Ranked Class Two? You shouldn''t be upset at this time, so why are you here to pretend to congratulate us? "


    Su Biyue laughed and was not angry at all, "Brilliant Little Sister, don''t misunderstand, I only came to congratulate because I saw how enthusiastic you all are.


    "No need." Ye Zhuozhuo snorted, "You better hurry up and go back, otherwise, Gu Jingrou will say that you betrayed us later, and at that time, don''t implicate us!"


    Sure enough, at this time, Gu Jingrou noticed Su Biyue''s actions. Unhappily, he berated: "Su Biyue, what are you doing?"


    She was already furious, but seeing that even the people on their side had turned against Su Xiruo, her head started to explode!


    Su Biyue was startled, he immediately turned around and returned to Gu Jingrou''s side. Then, he was mocked by Gu Wanyun: "Su Biyue, you''re really too snobbish, you can lean to whoever gets the upper hand."


    "No." Su Biyue lightly shook his head, "Senior Sister, you have misunderstood. I and Xi Ruo still have a spark in my eyes.


    "Heh." Gu Jingrou coldly snorted, "Since you want to exchange pleasantries like that, then just f * * k off their Heavenly Ranked Class Three. Our Divine Ranked Class Two doesn''t need trash with a one star Heavenly Spirit Master anyway!"


    Su Biyue curled his fingers tightly, feeling upset.


    She had relied on her own hard work to rise to the Divine Ranked Class from the Heavenly Ranked Class and now, by relying on her own hard work to cultivate, she had smoothly reached the one star Heavenly Spirit Master just so that she wouldn''t drag them down!


    But who would have thought that a one star Heavenly Spirit Master in their eyes, was still worthless in the slightest.


    But on the surface, Su Biyue did not retaliate, and bore all his unhappiness in mind.


    One day, she would make those people who had mocked her pay the price!


    After the mission was completed, the three Divine Ranked Class s returned to the Academy. Liang Si brought them to a grand hall in the Academy, and told them to wait there.


    "Everyone, please wait a moment. The second elder will personally distribute the mission rewards to you later." Liang Si explained lightly.


    When the students heard this, they couldn''t help but be shocked.


    The Second Elder had personally given them rewards for their missions? It had to be known that the Second Elder''s position in the academy was extremely high. Normally, it was very rare for even students to see Senior Class, so one could imagine how much the academy valued this kind of Divine Ranked Class.


    At this time, Helian Yunqian was bored to death as he sat on a seat beside her. He lazily picked up a cup of tea, opened his lips and took a sip.


    Suddenly, the atmosphere became tenser, only to see an old man walking in from outside. He was dressed normally, but the Spiritual Strength that had a depressing aura, made people feel a sense of pressure.


    "Everyone, this is the second elder of Mercenary Academy, Elder Chu Yu." Liang Si then hurriedly introduced him to everyone, and his tone of voice was also respectful, as he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.


    The students held their breath, they were impressed by the strong warrior''s aura. They had heard that the two elders in the academy were both of Spirit Sovereign''s strength, any one of them could shake an entire empire!


    Spirit Sovereign, Su Xiruo thought. She had the feeling that the distance between them was still too far, but sooner or later, she would also have to climb that unparalleled peak!


    The atmosphere was extremely serious, only Helian Yunqian remained calm and collected, and he was even a little impatient. He thought to himself, if it wasn''t for the sake of waiting for his wife, he wouldn''t even bother to come to this place to listen to this old man''s nonsense.


    The moment Chu Yu sat down, he said: "This time, you have successfully completed your mission, this old man feels gratified."


    Then, unable to make sense of the situation, he began to talk loudly and talk a lot of nonsense. Moreover, most of the students were listening with rapt attention, as if they were drunk.


    The more they talked, the more distant the topic became. Helian Yunqian sat on the spot and was about to fall asleep when he realized that the old man was still talking rubbish.


    He could not bear to listen any longer, so he coughed lightly, as if intentionally or unintentionally reminding Chu Yu of something.


    If this went on, the sky would turn dark. Wasn''t this old man tired?


    Chu Yu heard the warning cough, and realized that his topic was a little off topic. He immediately ended his discussion and returned back to the main topic at hand: "This old man will not speak anymore, after this, I have to give each of you your rewards. Of course, if someone obtains the rewards, then naturally there will also be people who get punished!"


    Hearing up to here, everyone in the Divine Ranked Class Two was shocked. They knew that the Second Elder was definitely talking about them.


    "Divine Ranked Class One results are the best, reward is fifty thousand gold coins, you are allowed to enter the second floor of the Book Pavilion, you are granted a scroll of Spiritual Skill with the right to cultivate in the Yunshu."


    Hearing this, everyone''s eyes widened in shock. Wasn''t this reward too great?


    Just one scroll of the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill was enough to make all the students go crazy, and the qualifications to cultivate Yunshu was something that all the students could only hope to get, because cultivating in the Yunshu could greatly increase one''s cultivation speed.

 C107

    Hearing that, Gu Jingrou curled his finger tightly, his heart extremely frustrated. Originally, this reward was theirs, but now, they would not get anything more!


    "His Heavenly Ranked Class Three results are also excellent. He will be rewarded with 50,000 gold coins and will be eligible to cultivate his Yunshu."


    Receiving such a reward, the students of Heavenly Ranked Class Three were already very happy in their hearts. Only Su Xiruo was still not satisfied.


    After he finished talking about the rewards, Chu Yu changed the topic and became stern: "Your performance this time around is generally not bad, but there are a few who have not completed the missions. It''s one thing if you have not completed them, but you have even ruined the reputation of our entire academy, and the nature of your performance is extremely vile!"


    His tone clearly carried a trace of anger.


    In the next second, Gu Jingrou took the lead, causing all the students with Divine Ranked Class Two to kneel down, waiting for their punishment.


    Gu Jingrou''s tone was extremely sincere, and some tears still flickered in her eyes, making her look extremely pitiful.


    "Jing Rou, this old man has high hopes for you, but now, you''ve really disappointed me!" Chu Yu pointed at Gu Jingrou, his heart still filled with anger, "It''s fine if you can''t complete the mission, but as matters stand, you don''t even have the basic morals and conduct yourself as a mercenary, but to actually do such a thing, it''s simply disgraceful!"


    Gu Jingrou lowered his head, and dared not say anything else. He probably knew that the Second Clan Elder was enraged, and if he continued to speak, he would probably jump into the fire pit.


    But she remembered, the reason they had fallen here, was all thanks to Gu Wanyun!


    "This old man wants to punish all of you, clean the Book Pavilion for a month, and each person will copy the academy''s rules a hundred times!" When Chu Yu said till here, he obviously started to become excited.


    They wanted to refute, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only accept the loss, "Yes ¡­"


    Gu Jingrou secretly looked at Su Xiruo with an absolutely irreconcilable gaze of hatred, and coincidentally, Su Xiruo met her gaze without the slightest bit of fear.


    This Gu Jingrou should be angry from the embarrassment, but it didn''t matter, he would take the initiative to fight. Since she wanted to deal with him, then he would gladly accept!


    After the rewards were distributed, the students would return to their respective residences in either happiness or grief.


    Inside the room, Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian sat facing each other for a long time without saying a word.


    "Yun Qian." Finally, Su Xiruo took the lead and opened his mouth, breaking the temporarily quiet atmosphere, "Do we not need you to continue to resolve the matter regarding the Dragon Seal Empire?"


    "I have already arranged for Mercenary Group to stand guard, and have also sent people to investigate. Therefore, I don''t need to stand guard by myself for now." Helian Yunqian explained lightly.


    In reality, if it was before, he wouldn''t care at all if he stayed at the border for three to five years. But now, he only wanted to stay by his wife''s side.


    "So that''s how it is." Su Xiruo nodded, and then asked, "Oh yes, I didn''t have the time to ask you before, or rather, I have never asked you about your identity, but ¡­ If you don''t want to tell me, then I won''t ask anymore. "


    Helian Yunqian understood what she meant and said: "Do you think I am related to that Six-Tailed Mystic Fox?"


    "I didn''t guess anything. It''s just that when I saw the Six-Tailed Mystic Fox, I was surprised and wanted to ask you about it." Su Xiruo immediately clarified her meaning, afraid that he had misunderstood something.


    She had never suspected that Yun Qian was trying to harm her by staying by her side. However, she was still somewhat curious about Yun Qian''s background.


    "That''s right, I do belong to the Fox Clan. However, I had no parents and was abandoned by the clan many years ago, so I have now left the Fox Clan."


    He spoke these words lightly, as if he was telling a story about someone else. Only he knew how heavy these words were for him.


    Su Xiruo looked up, only to see that in his deep black eyes, there was an additional hint of complex emotions.


    No wonder he had never revealed his identity as a spirit beast to anyone, not even mentioning it to himself.


    In his heart, this was probably a disgrace to him!


    "Sorry, I didn''t know your past would turn out like this ¡­ I said too much. " Su Xiruo immediately interrupted the conversation. Looking at his gloomy eyes, the guilt in his heart was self-evident.


    "It''s fine. It''s all in the past now." Helian Yunqian''s tone returned to normal, "If it weren''t for General''S Estate accepting, I''m afraid that I wouldn''t be alive today. These past few years, I had already merged with the Humans, so I wouldn''t know much about the matter of the Orc Clan."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, suddenly feeling that Yun Qian''s experience was somewhat similar to hers, and could naturally understand his feeling.


    It was enough that he had experienced such a sore point once. If he had to reopen it, it would be torture!


    "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore. I don''t want to know either." At this time, Su Xiruo only wanted to end this topic, and forget about everything that had happened.


    Helian Yunqian knew what she was thinking, so he continued to explain: "Ruo Er, my identity is complicated and I don''t know how to explain it to you in such a short time, but I definitely do not want to hide it from you.


    Su Xiruo nodded, and rested her head on his knees: "If you have any concerns, you don''t need to tell me. Anyway, all of this is not what I am concerned about."


    She did not need to care about Yun Qian''s past nor did she need to care about her status. She only liked this person and she would never avoid him just because of his identity.


    "Xiruo!" Suddenly, a woman''s voice sounded from outside the door. The next second, the door was pushed open.


    Bai Yanxi stood there in a daze, looking into the room. Su Xiruo was leaning on the Master Helian''s knee, and that incomparable distance between them caused her mind to go blank, as to what had happened!


    This was the first time she had seen a doting smile on the ice beauty''s face. Moreover, she had never thought that the ice beauty''s smile would be as warm as spring water.


    Su Xiruo saw the situation, and immediately stood up, his tone tinged with anger: "Didn''t I already say, before entering my room, you need to knock first?"


    "I''m sorry, Xiruo, I ¡­" Since I''ve disturbed you guys, then, I''ll head out first. " Bai Yanxi was a little incoherent as he realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.


    "I''ve already disturbed them. Let''s first talk about it." Su Xiruo knew that there must be something going on when she came to find him.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo was not too angry, Bai Yanxi decided to stay: "Actually, I originally wanted to beg you to help me beg Master Helian. I didn''t expect that Master Helian was also here."


    "Why did you ask the Master Helian to look for me?" Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "You are not... Was he always very close to the Master Helian? This is almost known to all. " She only knew that Xiruo was very close to the Master Helian, but after seeing her for the first time today, she realized that they were actually so close!


    Hearing that, for a moment, Su Xiruo did not know how to reply. On the other hand, Helian Yunqian opened his mouth first: "If you have anything to say, just say it."


    "Master Helian, I heard from my senior brother or sister from Senior Class that you are a Heavenly Ranked Refiner and that you are the strongest Refiner in our academy, so I specially came here to take you as my master. I hope Master Helian can teach me the Refinery!"


    A Refiner of the Heavenly Ranked?


    Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, looking at Yun Qian who was beside him, he was so shocked that he could not even close his jaw.


    Yun Qian was a Refiner of the Heavenly Ranked, why didn''t she know about this?


    The concept of Heavenly Ranked Refiner s, what kind of concept was that, it was probably difficult for even one empire to appear, and the entire Fine Star Continent Refiner s, could probably be counted with one hand!


    This guy, how much more was there that had not told him? Just a casual identity would be enough to scare people to death!

 C108

    As for Helian Yunqian, he didn''t seem to deny it, and indifferently said: "I only occasionally instruct the students under Senior Class."


    His cold tone could be said to be a categorical rejection.


    Bai Yanxi was immediately a little disappointed. He lightly sighed, but didn''t complain too much.


    She could only blame herself for being too weak, as even then, she couldn''t enter the eyes of the Master Helian.


    Just as Bai Yanxi was about to give up, Su Xiruo actually spoke up for her. "Yun Qian, you said that you would occasionally instruct the students in Senior Class, and at that time, you would let her go listen in as well."


    Su Xiruo also had his own selfish motives. If his Heavenly Ranked Class Three could nurture an outstanding Refiner, it would bring them many benefits. He didn''t need to spend any effort anyways, at most, there would only be one more person to listen to the lecture.


    His wife had already spoken, and even if he was unwilling, he could only agree. He said to Bai Yanxi indifferently: "Every half a month, Ling Xuan Pavilion, you go listen in by yourself." Simply put, he was unwilling to say another word.


    As for whether she could keep up with the Senior Class students, it would depend on her own comprehension ability.


    "Thank you Master Helian, I will definitely arrive on time." After getting such an opportunity, Bai Yanxi was extremely happy, and said with keen eyes, "Then, I won''t disturb you guys any longer, I''ll be going out first!"


    Since this matter had already been said, there was no need for him to act as an obstacle. This saved Master Helian from being displeased and he took back what he had just said.


    With that, she happily left the room and closed the door as well.


    Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian looked at each other and laughed, then could not help but ask: "Yun Qian, honestly tell me, is you afraid of scaring me by hiding your identity from me?"


    Heavenly Ranked Refiner s, Mercenary Academy higher ups!


    How many more secrets does this guy have that he could scare people to death with just his identity? Su Xiruo was getting more and more curious.


    Helian Yunqian laughed and did not admit it. He immediately skipped over the topic: "It''s getting late, my wife, I think it''s time for you to rest."


    With that, he slowly got up, and Su Xiruo did not continue asking. After all, she had already said it, so she did not continue asking, and allowed him to leave first.


    The entire room was finally so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. Xiruo was indeed a little tired. She lay on the bed and quickly fell into a dream.


    In the middle of the night, she woke up in a daze because of the noise. When she opened her eyes, she saw a little bird that had circled around the room a few times before turning into a human form and appearing in front of her.


    "Mu Jin?" Seeing Mu Jin, Su Xiruo''s heart was filled with joy, "I thought, you would still need some time to wake up!"


    Ever since he was injured in the ice river the last time, Mu Jin had been in deep sleep and didn''t make any movements for a long time. Today, seeing him standing right in front of him, unharmed, Su Xiruo''s suspended heart finally relaxed.


    "Mistress, I''m fine now." Mu Jin squatted on the side of the bed, and revealed an innocent and harmless smile. "You returned to the Academy right after waking up, and I didn''t have a chance to properly protect you along the way."


    "Haven''t I returned safely?" Su Xiruo smiled at him, "On the other hand, are there really no problems with the Venom in your body?"


    Mu Jin nodded with incomparable sincerity.


    Su Xiruo still did not believe him, so he extended his hand to check his meridians, confirming that his meridians were stable and normal, then he could finally relax.


    "Master, you don''t have to worry about me. Any injuries on my body will not cause any major problems."


    Su Xiruo nodded, knowing that Mu Jin''s physique was indeed special, so he was not too worried: "In the future, you should try your best not to show yourself in this academy, understand?"


    There were too many people in this academy, and she also had too many enemies. Thus, it was best for her to keep a low profile.


    "Mm, I''ll listen to you." Mu Jin happily agreed. In his heart, as long as he could be with Master and stay by her side, he could do anything.


    For several days in a row, the people from the Divine Ranked Class Two had all calmed down and kept a low profile. It was probably because they had just made a mistake and wanted to make up for it.


    And because of this mission, Ye Zhuozhuo''s name had spread throughout the entire Profound Rank Class, so not a single person dared to look down on her again.


    On this day, outside the Book Pavilion palace, Su Biyue and Zhang Bingde stood facing each other, their faces expressionless.


    "Are you sure that you will be able to see General Helian after cleaning this place?" Su Biyue worriedly asked.


    Zhang Bingde nodded his head, and his tone carried a hint of flattery: "Bi Yue, I have specially observed that the general would come to the Book Pavilion Hall every four or five days to listen to the two elders report about the situation in the academy. That''s why I have specially arranged for you to stay here and clean up."


    He was in high spirits because he wanted Su Biyue to smile and have a good impression towards him.


    But Su Biyue still remained unsmiling: "Then, how do I approach General Helian?"


    Zhang Bingde had already thought of a way for her: "In a while, I will have the maid bring you a pot of tea. You can go in the name of sending tea."


    This method sounded rather reliable, so Su Biyue nodded his head slightly.


    At this moment, the door of the side chamber opened. The Second Elder walked out from the side chamber. He extended his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and lightly sighed.


    Every time he reported something, he would be on tenterhooks. That little ancestor was simply too difficult to deal with. There was no way to deal with him at all!


    Seeing the situation, Su Biyue and Zhang Bingde immediately bowed. When the Second Elder had left the side hall, Zhang Bingde then spoke out in a low voice: "Quickly, this is a great opportunity. If you don''t go in now, you won''t have another chance!"


    Just then, the servant happened to bring the tea over, and Zhang Bingde passed the tea over to Su Biyue, giving her a determined look.


    Su Biyue received the cup of tea and mustered the courage to finally enter the side hall. Zhang Bingde stood outside the door and watched her back as he let out a helpless sigh.


    He knew that Bi Yue didn''t look down on him from the bottom of her heart. Since that was the case, then he was willing to help Bi Yue pursue her true happiness!


    Su Biyue carefully entered the side hall. At this time, Helian Yunqian was casually flipping through the scroll in his hands. After hearing some movements, he slowly raised his head and saw Su Biyue.


    "Get out." He said this word lightly, his tone extremely cold. There was no room for discussion.


    Su Biyue was extremely nervous as he hurriedly explained to himself, "Master Helian, I am in charge of cleaning this side chamber. When I found out that you were here, I wanted to bring some tea for you.


    "No need." He coldly rejected the offer. That ice-cold feeling of distance was enough to kill someone.


    He loathed unfamiliar people and entered his personal space, especially without his permission.


    Su Biyue bit his lower lip, knowing that he was being rude, he could only apologize: "I''m sorry, I made the decision myself. Don''t be angry, I will go out right now."


    With that, she took the tea and hurriedly left the side hall. She threw the tea to Zhang Bingde with a dejected expression.


    The moment Zhang Bingde saw her expression, he knew what the result would be. In an instant, he didn''t know how to comfort her either, "Bi Yue, don''t be too sad ¡­"


    "Shut up, it''s all your rotten idea. None of them succeeded!" Su Biyue interrupted him as she felt a very bad taste in her heart.


    Why was it so hard to get close to the General Helian, yet Su Xiruo could do nothing at all and gain the favor of the General Helian?


    She couldn''t accept it, she really couldn''t accept it! In terms of appearance, she was not inferior to Su Xiruo, and in addition, she was once the capital''s most talented girl. She truly did not understand, just what was the difference between her and Su Xiruo?


    "Bi Yue, Bi Yue!" Seeing that Su Biyue had left, Zhang Bingde could not help but sigh.


    He''d never been able to see her sad, and it looked like he had to think of another way to solve the knot in her heart.


    Since the problem was with Su Xiruo, he might as well start from Su Xiruo!

 C109

    Su Xiruo came to the Yunshu alone. He wanted to take a good look at this place and see exactly what this Yunshu that was gathering spirit energy looked like.


    Yunshu was located in a remote little courtyard on the west side of the academy. If it was even more remote, then it would be close to the back mountain.


    Upon stepping into the pavilion, Su Xiruo could feel that the abundant Spiritual Strength s were revolving around him. The entire pavilion was like a fairyland, allowing him to instantly calm down and relax.


    Allegedly, cultivating in the Yunshu could greatly reduce one''s cultivation speed. Today, the moment she stepped in, she believed the rumors from before.


    This was because the academy had set a limit, so there weren''t many students that were qualified to enter Yunshu to cultivate. However, the entire first floor was almost entirely filled with students who came in first.


    "Su Xiruo." A teasing male voice called out to her from behind. She turned around to see that it was Xiao Muran.


    Xiao Muran said unhappily: "You don''t even know it''s a bit early to come to a place like Yunshu? "You''re late, there''s no place for you on this level!"


    "Isn''t there a total of three levels to the Yunshu? If there''s no space on the first floor, then I''ll just go up. " Su Xiruo didn''t think that it was a big problem.


    Xiao Muran coldly snorted, and spoke while ridiculing him: "Second floor? That is not something that anyone can go up to. I need to cross the Barrier before I can go up. "


    "Oh?" Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile and intentionally teased, "Then, it looks like you''ve already failed once just now?"


    Being ridiculed in return, Xiao Muran was extremely unhappy, "Stop laughing at me. I can''t open it, and you can''t even think of opening it!"


    This girl who did not know the limits of her dignity was actually laughing at him. This was simply going too far!


    Su Xiruo said with a bored look on his face, "Then do you want to see what the second floor looks like?"


    "Of course." This was what Xiao Muran was thinking in his heart. Of course, even if he was beaten to death in his heart, he would never believe that Su Xiruo could open the second floor''s Barrier.


    Seeing his arrogant and spoiled look, Su Xiruo nodded his head: "Alright, follow me."


    "What are you going to do?" Xiao Muran was confused, he did not understand.


    "Satisfy your curiosity." Su Xiruo was planning to personally test that so called Barrier.


    Xiao Muran followed behind her, punishing her the entire way: "Su Xiruo, are you crazy! It was better not to go. If he couldn''t open it, it would be very embarrassing! It''s one thing for you to embarrass yourself, but don''t implicate our entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three with you! "


    Regarding Xiao Muran''s series of "exhortations", Su Xiruo completely ignored them and walked toward the Barrier that was on the second floor.


    Originally, no one had paid attention to her. However, after being loudly shouted by Xiao Muran, it actually attracted the attention of other students.


    Xiao Muran crossed his chest and stood at the side. With a cold snort, he waited to see how Su Xiruo would be slapped on the face.


    The Spiritual Strength that had been condensed in Su Xiruo''s palm for a long time, suddenly came out, and landed on the Barrier. In the next second, without any suspense, the Barrier stood firmly, like a boulder!


    "Hur hur." Seeing this result, Xiao Muran was relieved, and let out another mocking laugh, "I''ve already said it before, a single Eight-star of mine could only make this Barrier tremble for a moment. You want to open a six star Heavenly Spirit Master? You must be daydreaming, your brain is going crazy! "


    Su Xiruo slightly frowned, as if he had noticed the abnormality of the Barrier.


    If he used the unreasonable and unreasonable Spiritual Strength, it would be very difficult to open the Barrier, because the Barrier was a part of itself, with rings after rings, it was so hard that he could not find any weakness.


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo took out the Can Meng, and the Spiritual Strength converged onto the blade. Xiao Muran saw the situation, and immediately asked: "Do you still want to try again? Don''t embarrass yourself! "


    Su Xiruo ignored her words. The Can Meng quickly took action, bringing along the powerful Spiritual Strength, and then, with a slight tremble, a small crack actually appeared on the Barrier.


    Xiao Muran opened his eyes wide, before he could even react, Su Xiruo had already grabbed onto his sleeves, and the two of them turned into figures of light as they shuttled through the narrow gaps between each other.


    When Xiao Muran regained his senses, he was already at the second level of the Yunshu. He surveyed his surroundings and only saw a few students scattered across the floor.


    "Su Xiruo, you... How did you manage to open the Barrier just now? " Xiao Muran almost could not believe his own eyes.


    That Barrier just now, was it really opened by this girl? Impossible, this girl clearly only had six stars of Heavenly Spirit Master, but this Barrier, would probably need at least nine stars of Heavenly Spirit Master to be opened!


    "Don''t worry about how I opened it. Hurry up and cultivate." Su Xiruo was too lazy to explain to this retard.


    This second floor of the Yunshu wasn''t accessible to just anyone. Time was incomparably precious, it couldn''t be wasted so easily.


    Naturally, Xiao Muran would not waste this opportunity. Without further ado, he found a spot to cultivate.


    Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. Just as she was about to look for a place to take responsibility for her actions, she met Lin Yuan with Divine Ranked Class One. Instantly, she didn''t look good anymore.


    Lin Yuan laughed, went a little closer, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, long time no see, how have you been."


    "If you have something to say, then just say it." Su Xiruo hated this kind of roundabout tone the most, so he went straight to the point.


    "I just wanted to remind you that it would be best for you to quickly take action and obtain the Beast Core." "As a result, Lin Yuan decided not to keep her in suspense," High Lord has been urging me recently, I can only help you delay for a bit, but I can''t help you keep delaying.


    Su Xiruo knew that it was definitely related to this matter, so he replied: "I know about this, there''s no need for you to remind me again and again."


    "I''m afraid that if I didn''t remind you, you would have already forgotten about this and were only concerned about getting along well with Helian Yunqian." Lin Yuan''s tone became a little more serious, and it carried a hint of warning.


    Su Xiruo glanced at him: "Don''t talk nonsense!"


    Lin Yuan snorted: "Su Xiruo, I will tell you, the relationship between you and Helian Yunqian, even now I am still hiding it from High Lord, I do not dare to tell him the truth, if one day High Lord finds out, you will know the consequences!"


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, Lin Yuan''s words, were like a huge boulder, pressing heavily onto her heart.


    No matter what, she had to pay attention to this matter. On one side was her father, who had saved her life, and on the other was the person she loved the most. She did not want to hurt or want to hurt anyone!


    "I will think of a way as soon as possible." After a long while, Su Xiruo then left these words indifferently, and turned to cultivate.


    Lin Yuan looked at her back in disdain, thinking, I want to see what else you can do.


    After bringing ridicule upon himself, Lin Yuan returned to his own seat, and the scene just now was seen by Yun Lan who was cultivating not far away, but he could not hear clearly, what exactly they were talking about.


    "Lin Yuan, you wouldn''t be interested in that girl called Heavenly Ranked Class Three, right?" Yun Lan probed him with this question.


    Lin Yuan immediately denied it and casually wrote, "Heh, how could I have possibly taken a fancy to that girl? It''s too late to hate her! "


    "You sound like you used to know her?" Yun Lan could not help but ask.


    Although he had never cared about these things, Su Xiruo''s performance in the entire Divine Ranked Class could be said to be out of the question. He was naturally curious as well and wanted to understand a little about it.


    "Something like that." Lin Yuan didn''t know how to explain it to him.


    And Yun Lan, seeing the hatred in his eyes, followed the vines and asked: "Do you want to cure that girl?"


    "What?"


    "I also happen to want to probe just what kind of strength that girl Su Xiruo has to be able to challenge the Six Rank Spiritual Beast all by herself." Yun Lan was just curious about the woman''s ability and wanted to test it out personally.


    After all, Su Xiruo had already made him feel a little threatened.


    "How are you going to punish her?" In his heart, he had always been dissatisfied with Su Xiruo. If there was such a great opportunity, how could he let it go?


    "You''ll know in a while." Yun Lan gave a mysterious smile, showing off.

 C110

    After cultivating in the Yunshu for an entire day, all the tendons and veins in her body seemed to have been opened. Her cultivation speed had advanced by leaps and bounds.


    After leaving the Yunshu by himself, the sky immediately darkened. Just as Su Xiruo was about to return to the Pear Garden, two familiar figures blocked his path, it was Yun Lan and Lin Yuan.


    "Su Xiruo, you don''t know me?" The corner of Yun Lan''s mouth raised slightly, and deliberately asked, "Why didn''t you greet me when we were at Yunshu just now?"


    Su Xiruo shot a glance at him, her eyebrows twitched, and felt that his words were a little ridiculous. "Who do you think you are? Do I have to greet you when I see you? "


    How could she not recognize Yun Lan, who possessed the Divine Ranked Class One? However, the first time they had met, he had already left an arrogant and proud impression on her.


    Moreover, if this guy were to mix with Lin Yuan, he definitely wouldn''t be a good person either.


    "Heh." Yun Lan suppressed the anger in his heart, pretending to remind her with good intentions: "Junior sister, in Mercenary Academy, it''s best to not speak too arrogantly, or else, someone will come to teach you a lesson."


    The thing that Su Xiruo was least afraid of was intimidation, and asked coldly: "Senior Brother Yun Lan, are you going to teach me a lesson?"


    Yun Lan''s tone softened a little. "Senior Brother, these words are just your advice."


    Su Xiruo disagreed: "No need."


    What she hated the most was the condescending tone of a lecturer.


    "I''ve long heard that the Heavenly Ranked Class Three''s Su Xiruo is arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone else. Seeing him today, it''s true." Who knew that Yun Lan would actually laugh instead of getting angry, and teased in a teasing tone, "This is exactly what I want, why don''t you accompany us brothers for a drink?"


    With that, the pig was about to reach out with his hand, causing Su Xiruo to retreat a bit, and dodge it. Following that, a clear and loud slap landed on Yun Lan''s face.


    Pow!


    This fellow was practically challenging her endurance limit.


    "Su Xiruo, you''re courting death!" Finally, Lin Yuan could no longer bear to watch any longer. This girl was truly not an ordinary arrogant girl.


    "I''m also ignorant and ill-informed." Su Xiruo sneered, and taunted without concealing anything, "I didn''t expect that the Divine Ranked Class would produce such disgraceful scum, and two of them at that!"


    Her words, directly accompanied with Lin Yuan''s curses.


    "Great, you refused a toast and refused a forfeit!" Yun Lan covered his red and swollen face, his fingers curled tightly, as he was already prepared to act. "Let me see who gave you the guts to be so arrogant!"


    Su Xiruo retreated a step, knowing that he was going to attack, the Can Meng sneakily got out of its scabbard, but in the next second, just as Yun Lan was about to attack, his body was struck by a lazy force and was sent flying.


    "I gave it to you!"


    A gentle breeze brushed against his white clothes, causing his black hair to fly to the side. That god''s chosen one looked down at Yun Lan from above, his voice wasn''t loud, but it didn''t sound angry at all.


    "Helian..." "Milord." Yun Lan struggled to get up from the ground, his hands trembling, as if he had not recovered from the ordeal.


    Why would the Master Helian appear here? Could it be that they had misunderstood him and bullied his Heavenly Ranked Class Three?


    Thinking to this point, Yun Lan hurriedly explained himself: "Master Helian, don''t misunderstand, just now ¡­ It was only because Su Xiruo was rude to her that the student wanted to teach her a lesson. "


    "Lesson?" The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth raised, his tone sounded somewhat sullen and angry, "Who are you? When will it be your turn to teach my people a lesson? "


    Yun Lan was slightly taken aback, as he realized that he had probably said the wrong thing.


    Then, he went to apologize to Su Xiruo. "Junior Sister Xiruo, please forgive my rude remarks to you!"


    Lin Yuan, who was at the side, also began to speak up for Yun Lan: "Master Helian, Senior Brother Yun Lan did not do it on purpose, he already knows his wrongs, please forgive him this time."


    "If you don''t forgive me, you can ask Xi Ruo." Helian Yunqian then passed the initiative to Su Xiruo.


    This sort of matter, he could just leave it to Xi Ruo to handle by herself.


    After he finished speaking, he intentionally glanced at Su Xiruo, causing her to be at a loss of what to do.


    Wasn''t this obviously making an enemy out of himself? However, Yun Lan was going to become his enemy sooner or later, and he would become his enemy sooner or later.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo opened his mouth and said: "Yun Lan, I know that you are still unconvinced in your heart, and think that I am only relying on my man."


    "I didn''t!" Yun Lan denied flatly, but that was what he was thinking in his heart.


    Su Xiruo ignored his words and continued: "Didn''t you want to teach me a lesson? "Alright, I can give you a chance, but not now. After all, there is still a huge gap between our strengths. Even if you win, you won''t be pleasant to talk about!"


    "What are you trying to say?" Yun Lan did not understand what she meant.


    Su Xiruo smiled and explained: "Three months from now, there will be a battle between the Divine Ranked Class s. At that time, I will declare war on you.


    Speaking to here, Su Xiruo paused, and gave a mysterious smile.


    "If you win, you can do whatever you want to me. I''ll accept it!" Yun Lan spoke out first. He was probably confident enough that he wouldn''t lose.


    It was just a mere six star Heavenly Spirit Master, his talent and cultivation speed was not necessarily comparable to hers. As long as he diligently trained for these three months, he would definitely not lose to this girl!


    "Alright, it''s a deal!" Su Xiruo immediately agreed.


    She had to make Yun Lan admit his defeat!


    "Then, can we leave now?" As Yun Lan spoke, he sneaked a glance at Helian Yunqian.


    "Scram." Su Xiruo waved his hands, he was too lazy to look at these two faces, he just wanted to send them off as soon as possible.


    After receiving permission, Yun Lan and Lin Yuan bowed to Helian Yunqian, then hurriedly turned and left.


    "Xiruo, Yun Lan''s strength has always been an existence similar to a ruler in today''s primary Divine Ranked Class. He is far stronger than an ordinary nine star Heavenly Spirit Master. Are you sure ¡­" Helian Yunqian still seemed to be a little worried in his heart.


    "Since I''ve already boasted about it, I must keep my word and not be seen as a joke." Su Xiruo looked as if he did not care.


    Since the obstacles were here, she would think of a way to sweep them away one by one. After all, these were the paths that must be passed through. Her main purpose in coming to the academy was to obtain the Flying Feather Spirit for her first place in next year''s competition!


    Therefore, all of this was just the beginning!


    "Since you have the confidence, I won''t say much." In his heart, he naturally supported all of Xiruo''s choices.


    "Oh right, Yun Qian, I have something to say to you." Su Xiruo''s tone was deep and meaningful, as if there was something hard to explain.


    Thus, the two of them strolled in the deserted suburbs of the Academy.


    "What do you want to say to me?" Helian Yunqian seemed to have guessed something, "Did you bump into Lin Yuan today, hear what he said to you?"


    Once he was struck with his own thoughts, Su Xiruo nodded slightly, and started to explain to him, "Yun Qian, perhaps, you aren''t too clear about what happened to me earlier, but I can simply explain it to you. More than a year ago, I was framed by Su Jinxi, threw into the Snake Pond, and almost lost my life there.


    "Yes." As Helian Yunqian listened up to this point, he was not too surprised. After all, there were some things that he had understood beforehand.


    "But right now, Father''s life is at stake, and he''s in danger. He needs some precious things to save his life through medicine!" Su Xiruo continued, "Among them, one is Flying Feather, and next year''s Mercenary Academy Competition''s first place will be obtained."


    He slightly frowned, and lightly opened his mouth to ask: "So, your father told you, the other one was the s, right?"

 C111

    "That''s right." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "Before this, I had not been able to explain it to you clearly, so today, I want to explain it clearly to you."


    Helian Yunqian saw that her gaze had shifted and she gently hugged her shoulders. With a gentle tone, he replied, "You do not need to explain anything to me, because I know that no matter what, you will not hurt me."


    "Right now, I''d rather my father want my Ling Dan. That way, I don''t have to be in a dilemma anymore." Su Xiruo slowly sighed. To her, this was undoubtedly the greatest torture.


    Previously, when she was unwilling to say it out loud, she was thinking of another way to solve this problem. But now, she felt that no matter what, she shouldn''t hide it from Yun Qian.


    Even if he told him the truth, losing all of his trust, Su Xiruo''s heart would feel much more at ease.


    "Xiruo." Helian Yunqian looked at her slightly blurry eyes, and said with an extremely serious tone, "I had said long ago that since I accepted you, I would accept everything from you. If it really was because of me that made it difficult for you, then you would take my Beast Core and offer it to your father."


    To him, it was just a Beast Core, it was nothing compared to Xi Ruo''s half a weight in her heart!


    "Don''t spout nonsense!" Su Xiruo immediately interrupted him, "If I really did that, then it would be unrighteous and unrighteous, I would never forgive myself. Yun Qian, the reason why I said those words to you today, was not to get your sympathy, but to let you understand my true stand!"


    Her position was that no matter what, she wouldn''t harm the person she loved the most!


    Helian Yunqian understood what she meant, and gently pulled her into his embrace. He then said indifferently: "I will think of another way to deal with this matter, but there is one thing that I don''t know whether or not I should remind you of."


    "What?" Su Xiruo asked back.


    "In my opinion, most people request for this kind of high level Beast Core and they also need to specify the attributes. Generally speaking, it is not to save lives, but to increase their strength." Helian Yunqian''s tone was incomparably calm, and upon seeing the look of disbelief on her face, she added, "I am not suspecting anything about the Poison Sovereign, I am merely narrating this fact to you, so you should think about it yourself."


    After all, he still did not understand Poison Sovereign, and did not know what kind of person he was. He only knew that Poison Sovereign''s reputation in the Fine Star Continent was not too good.


    "In order to increase my strength." Su Xiruo''s mind was in a mess, his first reaction was to reject the proposal, "No, impossible, father would never do such a thing, he has always been a benevolent person, and is not like what the outside world says."


    "Xiruo, don''t be agitated. I was just reminding you not to slander the Poison Sovereign for no reason." Helian Yunqian was only guessing and did not receive any confirmation. Hence, he did not dare to speak with a tone that was too absolute.


    Moreover, whatever he said now, Xi Ruo probably wouldn''t believe him. It would be better to wait for the truth to prove everything.


    Su Xiruo looked into his eyes, and the emotions in her heart became complicated: "I believe that father won''t lie to me."


    However, if she had to use Yun Qian''s life in exchange for her father''s, she couldn''t do it and wouldn''t do it. Now, she could only find another way to solve this problem.


    Then, Su Xiruo changed the topic, "Alright, what I want to tell you today is these. Let''s not talk about this anymore. Right now, I just want to increase my strength as fast as possible. "


    Only after his own strength had increased, would he be able to compete for the first place in the competition, and only then would he have the ability to hunt Seventh Rank Spirit Beasts!


    Therefore, as long as her strength could be increased, all problems could be easily solved.


    Seeing her feigned indifference, Helian Yunqian suddenly had a bad taste in his heart.


    He didn''t want to see Xiruo to be troubled over anything, but no matter how he listened to it, he felt that something was off. He only felt that the Poison Sovereign''s goal might not be that simple, and was even more worried.


    Since that was the case, he would send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!


    In the next few days, the academy did not arrange for anything to happen, and only had one thing left to cultivate. Su Xiruo would stay in the Yunshu for the entire day, and at night, he would return to his room and secretly study the Toxicology.


    Although her identity as a Poison Master could not be exposed directly, she did not want to waste her Toxicology because of this.


    Such days were not too stressful, though they were still full of life. They were as peaceful as water.


    However, the days of peace were over in less than three days. Today, just as Su Xiruo was preparing to go out, he felt that the atmosphere in the entire courtyard was off. He actually did not see anyone?


    Normally, it was rather early for her to leave, but no matter what, there would always be one or two people left in the courtyard. Had they agreed to disappear together today?


    Forget it, who cares about all these, let''s just go to the Yunshu first.


    "Miss Su." At this time, Liu Sheng''s voice sounded out from behind her.


    Su Xiruo turned around, and upon seeing Liu Sheng, he casually asked: "Liu Sheng, why are you here?"


    It had been a few days since he last saw Liu Sheng in the courtyard. However, with Su Xiruo''s experience, as long as he arrived, nothing good would happen to him.


    Liu Sheng spoke to her and was still rather courteous, "Miss Su, Master specifically sent me here to invite you to the mountains behind Mercenary Academy."


    "Go to the back of the mountain?" Su Xiruo''s face revealed a look of astonishment.


    "Special training!" Liu Sheng did not keep her in suspense.


    After hearing these two words, Su Xiruo followed along and asked, "Then... Is Ling Xi and the others here as well? "


    "Everyone is here, waiting for the Miss Su to arrive alone." Liu Sheng laughed, and his tone was extremely gentle.


    "What?" Su Xiruo''s mind went blank, he had yet to react, "If that''s the case, then why didn''t you call me over earlier?"


    Five people were waiting for him alone, and he really "had some face". Why didn''t this Liu Sheng call him just yet?


    "Cough cough, Miss Su, I was wrong." Liu Sheng immediately revealed an innocent expression, "It was Master''s special order not to disturb your rest, so I could only wait outside for you to come out."


    "You ¡­"


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. For a moment, he couldn''t think of any words to refute her, so he helplessly opened his mouth and said: "Forget it, bring me there quickly!"


    In the mountains behind the Mercenary Academy, wild grasses grew everywhere, and there wasn''t the slightest noise. This kind of strange silence was the most eerie.


    "Miss Su, this way please!"


    Su Xiruo followed Liu Sheng the entire way, and along the way, it was extremely dark and gloomy. The two of them arrived at a barren land, and there was not a single blade of grass growing around them, only a deep pond that they could not see the bottom of.


    Waves of miserable cries sounded out from the deep pool, and it was rather ear-piercing.


    "This deep pool ¡­" Su Xiruo frowned slightly as he sensed the dense fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, and suddenly, his legs weakened. He took a step back and fell into a broad embrace.


    A light and elegant familiar fragrance assaulted his nose, and when Su Xiruo turned his head, he saw Helian Yunqian asking her with concern: "Are you alright?"


    This girl, why is she so frightened just by looking at this Snake Pond?


    Su Xiruo slowly came back to reality and gently shook his head. He tried to calm down: "I''m fine."


    Then, she asked indifferently: "Don''t tell me they have already entered the Snake Pond?"


    "If you don''t dare to go down, I can throw you down." The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth slightly rose. Although it was clearly a voice as warm as jade, it sounded somewhat terrifying.


    "No need, no need ¡­" I''d rather go down myself. " Su Xiruo immediately rejected it. In comparison, being thrown down should be even more terrifying!


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo had just turned around when he pulled on his sleeves, "Wait, Xiruo."


    Su Xiruo turned his head around, thinking that Yue Yang was going to give himself a "go" look, and look forward to it. But who knew that Yue Yang would open his mouth: "Within this Snake Pond, there are only three hundred poisonous snakes now, a total of six of you, each of you need to hunt a hundred poisonous snakes before you can come up."

 C112

    Six people, three hundred poisonous snakes, each of them needed to kill a full one hundred poisonous snakes to complete the mission. In other words, no matter what, at least half of the people couldn''t complete the mission!


    "Then, what will happen to those who aren''t finished?" Su Xiruo was more worried about this problem.


    "Those that do not finish, continue to stay within the Snake Pond until you have hunted a thousand poisonous snakes. Then, you can be considered to have completed the mission." Helian Yunqian said indifferently, and explained to her.


    Seeing that Xi Ruo was stunned, he realized that his tone just now seemed to be a bit too "fierce." It frightened his wife, so he immediately said with a mischievous smile, "However, my wife, if you''re not done yet, your husband can pretend not to have seen it."


    If he were to do this openly, he would probably be the first to be looked down upon!


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, and did not take his words to heart. Just as he was about to go down, he saw a bloodied hand reach out from beside the Snake Pond, and then, Xiao Muran crawled out of the Snake Pond as exhausted as he was.


    "Master Helian... "I, I''ve completed my mission!" Xiao Muran''s entire body was covered with wounds, there was not a single part of his body that was in good condition, if not for the voice, just by his appearance, he would not have been able to recognize him.


    Liu Sheng said to Xiao Muran: "In a while, Miss Zang Xing will come over to treat your injuries."


    Su Xiruo inhaled a breath of cold air, he no longer looked at the tragic scene, he simply gritted his teeth, lightly tapped on the ground with his feet and jumped into the Snake Pond. The scene at the bottom of the pond, was like hell on earth!


    The venomous snakes of the Snake Pond were all spirit beasts with decent strength, and each of them carried extremely poisonous poison on their bodies. Although they all carried Heavenly Spirit Master, they were all caught unprepared in the face of such a concentrated attack.


    "Xiruo, you came down too?" When Mu Lingxi saw Xi Ruo, he immediately found it hard to believe, "That pervert Yun Qian won''t even let his own wife off!"


    "I think he did this to increase our strength as soon as possible, to force us to break through our limits." Although Su Xiruo also felt that this kind of special training method was a bit too inhumane, she still wouldn''t allow others to speak ill of her husband!


    Mu Lingxi sighed helplessly, and waved his sword to help her take care of the poisonous snake behind her.


    Su Xiruo did not continue chatting with him and immediately raised his guard. Can Meng flew out from his sleeves and killed a few poisonous snakes in a row.


    She turned to the side, but didn''t expect two more poisonous snakes to appear behind her. One of them bit her shoulder, and the other tore off one of her clothes, causing her to bleed profusely.


    "Xiruo, be careful. These spirit beasts are all highly toxic. One bite will poison you!" Seeing that she was injured, Bai Yanxi immediately reminded her.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not take it to heart.


    Ever since she was saved from the Snake Pond more than a year ago, she had discovered her special physique.


    Ordinary poisons were completely useless against her. They could even be absorbed by her body, turned into Spiritual Strength, and then used by her!


    In the end, Su Xiruo completed his second mission, and came out of the Snake Pond. But other than the two of them, the other four did not manage to complete their mission, and could only continue to stay in that "inhumane" place!


    Su Xiruo crawled out from the Snake Pond. His hair was in a mess and his face and body were covered in blood and dust.


    Even though she was injured, she felt that the Spiritual Strength on her four limbs had actually become much more abundant.


    At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo had just finished treating Xiao Muran''s injuries. Seeing her come up, he immediately ran over and asked with concern: "Ruo Ruo, are you alright? Have you been bitten by a poisonous snake?"


    Ordinary superficial wounds would be healed very quickly. She was worried that it would take some time to recover if she was poisoned.


    "I''m fine."


    Ye Zhuozhuo still could not believe it, but he suddenly saw the bite mark on Su Xiruo''s shoulder.


    Thus, she grabbed onto Su Xiruo''s hand and felt his pulse. However, she didn''t find any traces of poison, and she was immediately surprised. Didn''t you get bitten by a poisonous snake? "


    At this time, Helian Yunqian also walked over, and faintly heard the conversation between the two of them, so he did not take it to heart. He said to Ye Zhuozhuo: "First, help her deal with her injuries."


    "Yes." Ye Zhuozhuo did not say much as he began to treat Su Xiruo''s injuries.


    Helian Yunqian squatted down, and hugged Su Xiruo''s body, they were just inches away from each other, as if they could hear each other''s heartbeats.


    "Xiruo, don''t blame me." After a long while, Helian Yunqian opened his mouth and spoke with an indifferent tone that carried a little guilt.


    When he saw that the girl was injured, his heart ached. It was as if everything he had done was wrong.


    "I don''t blame you." Su Xiruo naturally did not resent him, "Since I want to quickly increase my own strength, then these are all roads that I must take. But next time, you at least have prepared us mentally."


    She wasn''t the only one who was stunned by this special training. Everyone was dumbfounded!


    "Then you don''t have to worry." Helian Yunqian scoffed, "In the future, every day will be the same."


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo actually became a lot more relaxed, "If it''s only to deal with these poisonous snakes all day, then it''s nothing."


    "Miss Su, this is only just the beginning." Liu Sheng, who was at the side, reminded her with a smile. Su Xiruo knew that things were not as simple as she thought.


    After everyone had completed their missions and exhausted themselves and landed on the shore, before they could even catch their breath, they were once again brought back to the Duel Yard.


    Liu Sheng pointed at the Duel Yard, and said coldly: "Listen up, everyone needs to stay in the Duel Yard, and obtain a ten win streak. As long as one person fails, everyone will be punished!"


    Then, seeing everyone reveal looks of disbelief, Liu Sheng added: "This is Master Helian''s idea."


    "I just lost half my life, and now, you''re going to go to the Duel Yard to fight someone with your life on the line. Mu Lingxi wanted to cry, but no tears came out as he walked in front of Helian Yunqian. He curled his fingers tightly, and wished for nothing more than to give him a punch, "Ever since I entered the academy, I have not met such a perverted teacher like you!"


    Helian Yunqian laughed instead of getting angry: "Then you just happened to see it today."


    "You ¡­"


    "Hurry up and go, don''t drag them down." Helian Yunqian was too lazy to bother with him.


    Mu Lingxi sighed helplessly, he dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything, and could only brace himself and enter the Duel Yard s.


    Every single one of them looked like they were on stimulants as they desperately tried to obtain victory in a row. The scale of the scene was so great that it had even spread all the way to the ears of the other two Divine Ranked Class s.


    "Senior Sister Gu, have you heard that today, the entire Duel Yard will be contracted!" After Yu Li found out about the news, she couldn''t wait to let Gu Jingrou know.


    Gu Jingrou stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes: "It''s a contract, what does that mean?"


    "Everyone from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three has appeared on the Duel Yard, obtaining victories in a row. Now, it''s going to spread throughout the entire academy soon." Saying that, Yu Li could not help but snort, "Heh, what''s there to be proud of? It''s just showing off. "


    Hearing this, the corner of Gu Jingrou''s lips slightly raised, revealing a taunting smile: "Are they done yet?"


    "It''s not over yet. I guess they want to keep winning." Yu Li''s tone was filled with unwillingness, "That is because you haven''t gone to Senior Sister Gu yet. If you did, where would they be able to act so arrogantly?"


    Hearing this, Gu Jingrou laughed, then slowly got up: "Let''s go."


    "Senior Sister, where are you going?"


    "Go mess around." Gu Jingrou''s tone was full of contempt, probably intending to kill him personally.


    Their other two Divine Ranked Class s were still there, so how could they have Heavenly Ranked Class Three that wild! Today, she was going to steal all the limelight from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three!

 C113

    At the same time, also won ten consecutive victories quickly. As for the remaining people, only Xiao Muran had progressed the fastest, and already achieved nine consecutive victories.


    Looking at the gazes of reverence from the audience, Xiao Muran suddenly felt as if he was floating. He felt that he was already standing at the pinnacle of the stage, and could already overlook most people.


    "Is there anyone else? Hurry up, I''m rushing to finish my task!" Seeing that no one dared to come up, Xiao Muran started to get anxious.


    It was clear that she was stronger than Su Xiruo, but because her progress was too slow, she was unable to find a challenger after a long while, allowing the girl to finish the mission first.


    Just thinking about it made him feel extremely unhappy!


    Suddenly, the crowd opened up a path, only to see Gu Jingrou dressed in yellow, with the tip of his foot lightly touching the ground, he leapt up the stage, his face cold and his aura powerful.


    In an instant, the audience was filled with cheers. They probably thought that this was going to be a good show.


    Xiao Muran was the student with the strongest Heavenly Ranked Class Three, and Senior Sister Gu''s strength was known to everyone, so she could be considered one of the top in Divine Ranked Class.


    Furthermore, when the new student was admitted to the Trial, the two of them had already fought once. That time, Xiao Muran easily lost to Gu Jingrou, so this time, everyone was curious whether Xiao Muran could erase their shame and defeat Gu Jingrou.


    Not far from the stage, Su Xiruo, who had just finished his mission, was standing beside Yun Qian, watching the situation on the stage and could not help but break out in a cold sweat for Xiao Muran.


    "In my opinion, Xiao Muran''s strength is not weaker than Gu Jingrou''s. It just depends on whether he can calm down or not." Su Xiruo said indifferently, with one sentence he found the crux of the problem.


    Xiao Muran was indeed very strong, but in terms of combat experience and mental fortitude, he was inferior to Gu Jingrou. Everything would depend on his own luck.


    "Calm down, I''m afraid he can''t do it yet." Helian Yunqian glanced at the stage and he could already predict the outcome.


    In the beginning, Xiao Muran and Gu Jingrou struggled for a long time, until they reached a stalemate, but at the end of the fight, Xiao Muran became anxious, and wanted to end the battle quickly.


    But unfortunately, the faster he wanted to end the battle, the more frustrated he became. With the special training for the entire day, a lot of his stamina had been used up to begin with. In the end, all of his stamina was used up as Gu Jingrou kicked him down from the stage and he won without any suspense.


    Hearing the cheers from the audience, Gu Jingrou snorted and looked at Xiao Muran in disdain, feeling extremely proud of himself.


    In her eyes, Heavenly Ranked Class Three were not worth mentioning.


    Xiao Muran lied on the ground, his fingers curled tight, feeling that his dignity had been trampled on by this woman. In that moment, he didn''t know how to face everything.


    Impossible, I clearly possess Eight-star as well. But why did I lose to Gu Jingrou this woman twice, and to such a miserable degree every single time!


    "What, aren''t the people from your Heavenly Ranked Class Three very wild?" Gu Jingrou spoke unhurriedly, and said to him, "In front of me, every single one of you is just trash!"


    Qing Xuan, who had just finished his mission, went forward to help him up as he spoke indifferently: "Ignore her!"


    How could Xiao Muran endure such anger, he even wanted to rush up the stage and fight Gu Jingrou to the death, "Gu Jingrou, who are you calling a trash?"


    "You can''t be clearer about who''s trash when I say that." Gu Jingrou felt that his words were laughable. "If it''s trash, then it''s fine, but if you don''t even have the courage to admit that you''re trash, then that''s the most shameful of all!"


    The humiliation had already reached its peak. Xiao Muran''s eyes turned blood-red, as if he felt that no matter what price he had to pay, he had to properly teach this woman a lesson.


    Helian Yunqian heard the wild and rampant female voice, a smile that seemed to say "I''m leaving my mouth", but he did not say a word.


    "What arrogant words." Su Xiruo could not listen any longer. This Gu Jingrou had actually publicly humiliated their Heavenly Ranked Class Three in front of everyone.


    Xiao Muran''s rage, had almost reached its limit at this moment, "Gu Jingrou, I want to kill you!"


    Just as he was about to leap onto the platform again, he was stopped by a small hand.


    Seeing Su Xiruo blocking his way, Xiao Muran''s tone became slightly gentler. "Su Xiruo, don''t block my way!"


    "Just now, you exhausted too much of your physical strength, so it''s not appropriate for you to continue fighting. Stand still and let me handle this." Su Xiruo casually glanced at Gu Jingrou, his clear eyes becoming a little sharper, and his tone becoming quite sharp, which was unquestionable.


    She had long wanted to personally teach this extremely arrogant woman a lesson. This time, the timing was perfect!


    "Su Xiruo, are you crazy?" Xiao Muran didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, "Even if you want to stand out for me, there''s no need to do this, you''re just a six star Heavenly Spirit Master!"


    On the other hand, Gu Jingrou just laughed, he only wished for another person to come and seek death, so as to establish his might, "Su Xiruo, if you have the guts to say such words, you should keep your promise!"


    In the next second, Su Xiruo flew up to the stage and stood right in front of Gu Jingrou, without a shred of fear.


    "Master, this Miss Su is too bold!" Liu Sheng, who was below the stage, seemed to be unable to watch any further, "Gu Jingrou is Eight-star, and her fighting techniques are extremely strong, I am afraid that Miss Su is no match for her, should we stop her?"


    "Just watch, don''t say too much." Yun Qian had a lot of confidence in Xi Ruo, which was why he said such heartless words.


    That little girl would not boast for no reason. She was not a person who tried to be brave. Since she dared to go up, she must have some confidence in herself.


    "Hai." Liu Sheng sighed, seeing that his master was not worried, he could only shut his mouth.


    Looks like Miss Su is destined to suffer a calamity today.


    "Su Xiruo." Gu Jingrou raised his head and looked at Su Xiruo with disdain, "I''ll let you use three moves first, so that others won''t think I''ve bullied you."


    With so many people watching, even if she won, she would inevitably end up bullying the weak. Therefore, by doing this, she seemed to be giving Su Xiruo a chance, but in reality, it was also to let him win a better opportunity.


    If he allowed Su Xiruo three moves, and she still wasn''t his opponent, then he wouldn''t be blamed because of him. After all, he had already given way to her.


    How could Su Xiruo not see through her little scheme? He rejected her offer: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your good intentions, but there''s no need."


    "Then what do you want? In a while, don''t tell me I''m bullying you! " Gu Jingrou frowned, he was starting to get impatient.


    It''s just that the situation is special today. Just now, I have already fought against ten people, so I have exhausted a lot of energy and am afraid that I have no strength to continue fighting. How about we change the method today to determine the victor in one move?


    "What?" After Gu Jingrou heard her words, he couldn''t help but be a little flustered. He kept having the feeling that this girl was scheming against him.


    "The reason I''m doing this, is also because of Senior Sister''s reputation." Su Xiruo laughed and explained to her, "Today, my stamina is insufficient, even if Senior Sister manages to win, if this were to spread, the result would be that she would lose the fight. Using this method, it will have nothing to do with my stamina, Senior Sister can win with your beauty, why wouldn''t you do that?"


    "What the hell is the Miss Su doing?" Liu Sheng muttered, he still did not understand Su Xiruo''s intention.


    And when Yun Qian heard the conversation between the two of them, he couldn''t help but admire this girl''s cleverness.


    Gu Jingrou''s strength lay in her level, battle experience and mental games. However, if they were to determine the victor with one move, they would be able to perfectly avoid all of these stages. What the two of them needed to compete with each other was their own strength and explosive strength!


    To Su Xiruo, this was extremely beneficial.


    Gu Jingrou thought about it carefully, and felt that what Su Xiruo said sounded logical. In any case, he was stronger than Su Xiruo, and with his own understanding of the high grade Spiritual Skill, he should be able to solve the problem for the girl in one move.


    Thus, he agreed, "Alright, then let''s follow your plan."


    No matter what kind of competition was used, she, Gu Jingrou, had definitely won!

 C114

    As the curtains opened, the Spiritual Strength around both of their bodies started to climb. Gu Jingrou smiled, feeling that the pressure from the Spiritual Strength was obviously weaker than his, immediately, his heart became more at ease.


    A mere six star Heavenly Spirit Master actually dared to challenge me. Today, I will let her lose to me!


    Once the palm was unleashed, a purple colored Spiritual Strength surged out, striking right at Su Xiruo''s face. Su Xiruo was not flustered, he took a step back and over ten hidden weapons lined up in a formation, bringing a golden colored Spiritual Strength, they poured out.


    "Senior Sister Gu used a high-grade Profound Rank Spiritual Skill, Purple Moon Break!"


    This was exactly the move Gu Jingrou had just used, the one that had defeated Xiao Muran. It had an extremely strong killing power, and could instantly destroy his opponent''s Spiritual Skill!


    Xiao Muran frowned slightly. In his eyes, there was still lingering fear, and in his heart, he mourned for Su Xiruo.


    That madman Su Xiruo, he clearly didn''t have the power, but he still dared to challenge Gu Jingrou.


    However, just when everyone thought that Su Xiruo would lose, the situation quickly reversed. The Spiritual Strength around Su Xiruo became denser and denser, and those near to him were almost suffocated by it.


    "This Spiritual Skill... It seems to be even higher than Senior Sister Gu''s Spiritual Skill! "


    "Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill?! "How is this possible, how is this possible!"


    They had seen students of the Senior Class use the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill before, the moment they made a move they felt like it would destroy the world. Even if they were weaker in strength, the strength of the Spiritual Skill could make up for their inadequacy in strength!


    Of course, if the difference in strength was too great, even if it was the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill, it wouldn''t be enough to make up for it.


    Gu Jingrou was initially pleased but when he realized that something was amiss, his expression suddenly changed. "This ¡­ What Spiritual Skill is this? "


    Before she could react, a force of gravity fell on her body, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood. She lost her balance and fell heavily from the stage.


    Su Xiruo had only taken a few steps back before he stabilized his position. Looking at Gu Jingrou who was in a sorry state, he laughed complacently.


    The other students in the audience were so shocked that their mouths gaped open. They probably did not expect that Senior Sister Gu would lose to a six star Heavenly Spirit Master, and even more so in one move!


    "What kind of Spiritual Skill is that? This is too scary! " Xiao Muran was startled, he had probably thought that Su Xiruo''s sudden attack was too terrifying. If he had been hit by that palm, he would have been in a worse state than Gu Jingrou!


    Gu Jingrou crawled up from the ground and pointed at Su Xiruo. He was flustered and exasperated and was unable to say a single word for a long while, "Su Xiruo, you! "You ¡­"


    "You lost, Senior Sister Gu." Su Xiruo took over her conversation, and said casually, "It looks like the strength of my Divine Ranked Class Two is only so-so."


    clenched her fist and punched the ground, she was extremely furious. Today, Su Xiruo had made her lose all face in front of everyone, the words she said to ridicule Heavenly Ranked Class Three, sounded like she was laughing at herself, it was extremely funny.


    "Heh." Mu Lingxi, who was at the side, also mocked, "Gu Jingrou, who just said that our Heavenly Ranked Class Three are all trash? Now that you have lost to the trash from our Heavenly Ranked Class Three, then, could it be that you are no different from trash? "


    Gu Jingrou glared at him coldly, yet was unable to say a single word.


    "Why are you staring at me?" Mu Lingxi laughed, he was not afraid of her at all, "Willing to admit defeat, when you won just now, I saw that you were extremely arrogant, now that you have lost, what, you can''t even take a slight blow anymore?"


    A moment of humiliation later, Gu Jingrou felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.


    Yu Li who accompanied her, pushed through the crowd and helped Gu Jingrou up: "Senior Sister Gu, let''s go!"


    Her voice was very soft and she probably felt that she had lost a lot of face this time. It was best for her to leave quickly and not embarrass herself any further.


    Gu Jingrou snorted, and turned to glare at Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, I, Gu Jingrou, will remember today''s humiliation, but don''t be complacent, I will make you repay all of it!"


    After throwing those words, she lowered her head, and left the Duel Yard together with Yu Li.


    Instantly, the entire Duel Yard cheered, especially the students, who taught Gu Jingrou a lesson, they didn''t know how to feel comfortable in their hearts.


    "Xiruo, you really hid your strength well, you actually beat Gu Jingrou to the ground in one move."


    "Didn''t you see the expression on Gu Jingrou''s face just now?!


    "Oh right, what Spiritual Skill did you use just now, tell us quickly?"


    Xiao Muran stood at the side in a daze. Seeing that they were surrounding Su Xiruo while he himself was at the side, looking gloomy, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.


    Why, she was clearly stronger than Su Xiruo, but in the end, she was the one who held the limelight, while he was the one holding her back.


    "Alright, don''t be happy too early." At this time, Liu Sheng''s words interrupted their momentary happiness.


    They turned around and looked at Liu Sheng with a face full of fear, as if they just remembered that they had completed their mission.


    "Xiao Muran and Nangong Yi were unable to complete the mission of winning ten consecutive victories, so you two need to receive punishment." As Liu Sheng said this, he did not forget to sneakily glance at his master.


    Therefore, they were brought to the Book Pavilion, their hearts still uneasy. They were afraid that Helian Yunqian would think of another perverted method to torture them!


    "Everyone is responsible for what they do, since Nangong Yi and I did not complete the mission, we will only punish the two of us, it has nothing to do with them!" Finally, Xiao Muran couldn''t resist asking.


    He had originally lost his dignity of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three in front of Gu Jingrou earlier, but this time, he really didn''t want other people to be punished along with him because of him.


    "Yeah." Nangong Yi also agreed, "This has nothing to do with Xiruo and the others. Master Helian, you just have to punish me and Xiao Muran!"


    Helian Yunqian raised her gaze, her calm eyes glanced at him, her tone was light, but her aura was filled with energy: "You are not the one making decisions on who to punish. As mercenaries, you can only obey your leader''s words!"


    Nangong Yi could only shut his mouth and did not speak further.


    These words seemed to anger Xiao Muran: "Could it be that because we are students, we no longer have any human rights? They clearly completed the mission, why would they make a mistake? "


    "Human rights?" Helian Yunqian raised her eyebrows slightly and declined to comment, "You don''t have the qualifications to talk about human rights with me right now."


    "On what basis?" "It''s just because you''re a teacher that you can abuse your authority. It''s fine if you use such a perverted and perverted special training to make things difficult for us, but now, you even want to punish innocent people as well. I''ve had enough!"


    The atmosphere instantly froze to ice, becoming extremely tense.


    "Xiao Muran, shut up!" Bai Yanxi hurriedly reminded her in a small voice.


    This guy, he was really bold, he actually dared to go against Master Helian''s words, did he really want to die?


    "Stop talking." Nangong Yi also warned in a low voice, afraid that Xiao Muran''s words would anger the Master Helian.


    "How dare you!" Liu Sheng berated coldly, "Xiao Muran, do you know who you are talking to?"


    Xiao Muran coldly snorted, unable to suppress his emotions any longer. "Huh? So what if he was a teacher? So what if he was a higher ups of the academy? I really don''t understand how someone as inhumane as you could become one of the higher ups of the academy! "


    Liu Sheng held his breath, and simply stopped speaking, and mourned for Xiao Muran in his heart.


    With his master''s personality, this Xiao Muran would probably die very miserably.


    Unexpectedly, in the next second, the corner of Helian Yunqian''s lips rose slightly, and instead of becoming angry, he smiled, that clear and calm smile carrying a bit of disdain. "Alright, since you like to stand out so much, then I''ll give you a chance."


    Xiao Muran was startled for a moment, and immediately had a bad premonition.


    He glanced at Xiao Muran, and said lightly: "If you can receive my palm strike, I will be free of your punishment."


    Xiao Muran was startled, he was obviously lacking in confidence, after all, the one he was going up against this time was the Spirit Sovereign!


    "I only use three levels of strength." Helian Yunqian added, and said to the rest of the five, "The same goes for the rest of you, whoever can take it, will be exempted from punishment."

 C115

    It was clearly a light tone, but it was so oppressive that it caused people to be unable to breathe.


    However, Helian Yunqian didn''t seem to mind at all. It was as if he was talking about something insignificant, and was still lazily sitting in his original position. He didn''t even intend to get up.


    Level three strength. Wasn''t this guy a bit too arrogant!?


    Mu Lingxi took the initiative to retreat a little, "Let''s first talk about this first, I won''t participate in this kind of thing!"


    He was roughly aware of Yun Qian''s strength and did not want to use an egg to hit a rock.


    "Alright!" Xiao Muran snorted coldly, without any hesitation, he agreed to it, "However, if I accept, I hope that you can keep your promise!"


    Helian Yunqian didn''t even look at him.


    He probably felt in his heart that Xiao Muran definitely wouldn''t be able to accept it, so she wasn''t even willing to tell him her conditions.


    "Bring it on!" Xiao Muran''s finger bones were curled tightly, the berserk Spiritual Strength condensed in the center of his palm, and he had already made sufficient preparations.


    He refused to believe that he would not even be able to withstand a palm strike from Helian Yunqian with thirty percent of his strength!


    Helian Yunqian did not get up. With a wave of his sleeve, a wind formed from his palm. Xiao Muran''s seemingly powerful attack, instantly crumbled as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Before anyone could clearly see how Yun Qian had done it, Xiao Muran had already lost completely.


    "This... How is that possible? " Xiao Muran curled his fingers tightly, and slowly crawled up from the ground. He didn''t even know how he lost, but the feeling of his strength being crushed was real.


    During the instant he attacked just now, he basically did not have the chance to get close to Helian Yunqian''s body. The tactics and Spiritual Skill that he had practiced several times in his mind before, were completely useless in front of him!


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This fellow really did lose miserably.


    Only Liu Sheng frowned, feeling that something was amiss.


    That''s not right, why did he feel like Master did not even use two layers of power when he just used a palm, why did he use three layers?


    Could it be that he was deliberately letting them go?


    "How is that possible?" Liu Sheng said impatiently, "You have already lost, scram through the Book Pavilion, and arrange all the scrolls according to their attributes, don''t be lazy!"


    Xiao Muran was extremely unwilling, but there was nothing left to be said: "I am willing to accept my defeat, and since I have lost, I am willing to accept my punishment."


    After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the Book Pavilion.


    "This Master Helian, what exactly is his strength? You only used thirty percent of your strength, and you don''t even use the Spiritual Skill, yet you have lost to Xiao Muran in such a miserable manner? " Bai Yanxi muttered, he suddenly became curious about the Master Helian''s strength.


    Nangong Yi smiled and said: "If you''re curious, go try it yourself."


    "Why don''t you go?" Bai Yanxi slightly frowned, he still felt some lingering fear in his heart.


    "What am I going to do ¡­"


    "Go ahead!" Bai Yanxi stretched out his hand and pushed Nangong Yi away.


    Helian Yunqian shot a bland glance at him, and immediately caused Nangong Yi to panic a little. He secretly glanced at his surroundings and noticed that everyone was staring at him.


    "Nangong Yi, your courage deserves praise!" Mu Lingxi praised him in a low voice.


    Therefore, Nangong Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up: "Master Helian, please show mercy!"


    The corner of Helian Yunqian''s lips lifted slightly, he raised his hand, but before he made his move, Nangong Yi closed his eyes and retreated in shock. Yun Qian''s palm landed right in front of him and stopped.


    In the next second, Nangong Yi realized that he was fine and secretly opened his eyes, only to hear Helian Yunqian sneering: "Is that all you have? Go in yourself! "


    "Yes." Thus, Nangong Yi obediently entered his Book Pavilion. As long as he was not beaten up, he was already satisfied.


    "Truly useless!" Bai Yanxi could not help but retort softly. He did not know where he got the courage from, but he walked forward and said, "Master Helian, let me do it!"


    In the end, without any suspense, Bai Yanxi and Qing Xuan lost two people in a row to Yun Qian, one worse than the other.


    Mu Lingxi couldn''t help but secretly rejoice at the side. Fortunately, he had foresight and didn''t throw this person away. These guys really overestimated themselves!


    "Since you already have such strength, then don''t speak any words to me. Scram to the Book Pavilion!" Helian Yunqian probably never thought that these people would actually be so easy to deal with, and that they wouldn''t even be enough for him to move his muscles and bones.


    "And me."


    Helian Yunqian raised her eyebrows, and turned to see that Su Xiruo was standing in front of him. There was a smile on her pretty face, and her cute and clear look made him unable to bear it.


    The ice mountain in his eyes melted. It was still cold and detached a moment ago, but now it seemed to have become a person, and said with a mischievous smile: "Stop messing around, my wife, I think you won''t be able to handle it, so there''s no need to try. You can go straight to the Book Pavilion."


    If he accidentally hurt his wife again, he would feel very sorry for himself.


    Before she even made her move, she was already tacitly agreed that she could not handle it. Hearing that, Su Xiruo did not know whether to laugh or cry: "If you''re not going to try, then how do you know that I definitely can''t handle it?"


    Helian Yunqian sighed helplessly, with a troubled look, he then immediately admitted defeat: "How about, I directly exempt you from punishment? "I''ve lost ¡­"


    When Mu Lingxi, who was at the side, heard this, he instantly became displeased. "No, Yun Qian, you can''t overestimate your lover like this!"


    Wasn''t this guy just now quite powerful? How come he lost all of his will the moment he met Xiruo?


    "Yun Qian." Su Xiruo walked closer, his tone full of confidence, "I think I can handle it, so you don''t need to worry about me, and you don''t need to be lenient with me, come."


    Just now, when Yun Qian was fighting with them, although his movements were extremely fast, Su Xiruo had always seen it.


    The force of his palm that was at three levels of strength, was approximately equivalent to an attack from a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master. Calculating his strength, Yun Qian should be around a two star Spirit Sovereign.


    Since this girl insisted, Helian Yunqian had no choice but to agree. Lifting his hand, he put on a cautious look, afraid that he would hurt his wife.


    "Don''t show mercy, otherwise, you will look down on me." Su Xiruo had already made sufficient preparations, the golden Spiritual Strength converged at the center of his palm and congealed into a halo.


    The corner of Helian Yunqian''s mouth raised slightly, he lazily threw out a gust of wind from his palm, an attack that looked weak and weak, but when it got a little closer, it suddenly released a berserk yet fearsome force.


    This attack was more powerful than she had imagined! It seemed that he could only turn from offense to defense!


    Su Xiruo immediately took a step back, and the ring of light in her hand quickly turned into a golden barrier that struck straight onto Yun Qian''s palm. She retreated a good distance, but managed to stabilize herself in the end, and the barrier was actually not broken!


    Suddenly, Helian Yunqian''s face revealed a look of surprise, this girl had really caught it, and just now, she was even thinking of counterattacking!


    It seemed that he had underestimated her.


    "Xiruo, you, you actually caught it!" Mu Lingxi slightly frowned, he only felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.


    Su Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief, it was too dangerous, if he had not changed his strategy and switched to defense, he would have been like them, lying on the ground.


    Just what kind of terrifying strength did this fellow possess? Just now, when they fought, the surrounding pressure of the Spiritual Strength made it so that she was almost unable to breathe.


    Helian Yunqian stood up and pulled her into his embrace, "Are you injured?"


    "Nope." Su Xiruo lightly shook his head, deliberately teasing him, "You''re underestimating me too much, how can I be that weak?"


    And at this time, Liu Sheng frowned slightly, and finally asked out his own doubt: "That''s not right, Master, why do I feel like you only use less than two layers of strength every single time?"


    He didn''t hesitate to voice his doubts, and only when he saw the sinister look in his master''s eyes did he shut his mouth and realize that he had talked too much.


    What? Two layers of strength!


    With that sentence, the bit of confidence Su Xiruo had disappeared without a trace.


    "Cough, cough." Mu Lingxi could not help but roll her eyes at him, "If this guy really used three levels of strength, would they still have a life to suffer punishment?"


    Even if he didn''t die, he would probably end up paralyzed.


    Su Xiruo inhaled a breath of cold air, and sighed helplessly: "I can''t even withstand a palm with two layers of strength with such difficulty, truly shameful."


    If Yun Qian had really used three levels of strength, he probably wouldn''t be able to stand here with his life on the line!

 C116

    The thing that she could not understand the most was that if the two layers of palm wind from Yun Qian were the equivalent of an attack from a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, then just what kind of strength did he have? I''m afraid it''s at least the Spirit Sovereign s and above!


    "Ahem, I''m not ashamed." Helian Yunqian immediately and gently comforted her, "Xiruo, you''re extremely talented. As long as you''re willing to work hard, you''ll definitely be able to do it one day ¡­"


    "Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Mu Lingxi couldn''t help but shake his head, he only felt that what he said was extremely uncomfortable.


    This tone was never his usual style!


    Yun Qian had just taunted Xiao Muran and the others to the point that their skin was not even covered, why did his attitude change so much the moment he appeared in front of Xi Ruo? Wasn''t he afraid of being struck by lightning when he said such heartless words?


    However, Su Xiruo only laughed off such comforting words, and that was all.


    In the past, she had often felt that although she was not a powerful individual, she possessed some strength. However, today, she finally realized the true difference in strength.


    With her current strength, she didn''t know how difficult it would be for her to get the top spot in the competition in a year, so she had to train even more diligently in order to see some hope!


    In the days that followed, no one dared to complain about the special training anymore. Although the content of the special training was becoming more and more abnormal, the protest was also limitless. Over time, they all seemed to get used to it.


    Three months passed in a row, almost as if he had spent it during cultivation and special training. When he was free at night, Su Xiruo would shut himself in his room and secretly train Toxicology.


    In less than three months, every student in Heavenly Ranked Class Three had increased by one level. To them, this could be considered an unexpected gain.


    After all, if they were already at the Heavenly Spirit Master level, wanting to raise their Heavenly Spirit Master by one level would mostly require half a year''s time.


    In these past three months, he had also experienced a competition of promotions between the primary classes. Relying on his improved medical skills, Ye Zhuozhuo successfully advanced to the Heavenly Ranked Class, and Gu Wanyun also smoothly returned to the Divine Ranked Class.


    However, even though she had returned to the Divine Ranked Class, the whole of Divine Ranked Class Two was now no longer the same as before.


    At the Plum Courtyard.


    Gu Wanyun walked around and knocked on Gu Jingrou''s door: "Elder sister, can I come in?"


    After a while, there was no reply, so Gu Wanyun decided to go his own way. He pushed open the door and saw Gu Jingrou meditating on his bed, as though he did not care about her at all.


    "Elder sister, I''m back. Aren''t you happy for me?" Gu Wanyun helplessly sighed, feeling very upset.


    In the past, her position in the Divine Ranked Class Two was very high. But since the mission back then, not only did everyone in the Divine Ranked Class Two not respect her, they were even a little repulsed by her.


    This time, he had relied on his own strength to return to the Divine Ranked Class. Not only were they not happy for him, they even showed an unwelcoming expression.


    Finally, Gu Jingrou opened his eyes, but didn''t have any good intentions towards Gu Wanyun: "What''s the use of you coming back, continue messing things up?"


    "Sister, how can you say that? I came back to help you!" Gu Wanyun became a little anxious and went up to ask.


    "How can you help? I''ll be thankful if you don''t mess with us. " Gu Jingrou already had nothing to say to her little sister.


    Gu Wanyun bit his lower lip, a little dissatisfied: "Right now, Divine Ranked Class''s competition is about to begin, don''t tell me in your heart, I''m really so useless?"


    "Alright, stop it." Gu Jingrou interrupted her, "What''s the use of saying all these now? If you truly want to atone for your deeds, then that is just the right timing. This time''s inner competition is a very good opportunity, let''s see just what you can take to make up for it! "


    Gu Wanyun curled his fingers tightly, looking as if he had a plan: "Elder sister, don''t worry, this time, I won''t let you down."


    No matter what, she had to get back at him!


    Then, Gu Wanyun looked at his sister who looked worried, and asked: "Elder sister, do you have something on your mind? Could it be that you are worried about the competition? "


    "The top three rankers in this competition will be guaranteed the right to enter next year''s Senior Class. This is a rare opportunity ¡­"


    "Sister, what are you worried about?" Gu Wanyun interrupted her, as though he was even more confident than his own sister, "Your opponents are Yun Lan and Lin Yuan, even if they are not their match, you will still be able to obtain a guarantee to send them away, so, don''t worry!"


    Gu Jingrou frowned slightly, but felt that things were not as simple as she thought, "I''m worried about that girl Su Xiruo!"


    "Su Xiruo? Heh, she is currently just a Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master. Elder sister, you are about to step into the Spirit Monarch, what are you afraid of her doing? " Gu Wanyun did not place Su Xiruo in his eyes at all.


    At the very least, she felt that the little girl would definitely not be a match for her elder sister.


    However, when Gu Jingrou thought back to three months ago, when his Duel Yard had been defeated by Su Xiruo in one move, it had always been a knot in his heart. And that girl, in just a short three months, had actually risen by another level.


    "If elder sister is truly worried, I have an idea." Seeing that she still had a face full of worry, Gu Wanyun suggested, "Since that Su Xiruo is so arrogant, then we will teach her a lesson and let her suffer!"


    "That''s easy for you to say!" Gu Jingrou rolled his eyes at her coldly.


    "Elder sister." Gu Wanyun took out a small porcelain bottle from the Storage Ring and waved it in front of his eyes.


    "What is this?" Gu Jingrou could faintly feel the subtle fluctuations in the Spiritual Strength, but he felt like something wasn''t right.


    Gu Wanyun then explained to her, "This is a treasure that I just obtained from teacher Murong Li. It contains spirit water and it is extremely beneficial for cultivating the Spiritual Strength."


    "There''s still one more day before the inner sect competition begins. Now tell me, what''s the use of cultivating the Spiritual Strength?" Gu Jingrou suddenly felt that this guy was giving him a rotten idea.


    "Elder sister, that''s not what I meant. Please listen to what I have to say first." Gu Wanyun laughed and continued, "Although this Warm Spirit Containment Water is very useful for cultivation of the Spiritual Strength, it is still a spirit medicine and is not harmful to the body. As a result, its effects will be slow, and before its use, it will instead restrict one''s own Spiritual Strength!"


    Gu Jingrou''s eyes lit up, he suddenly understood something: "Are you saying, we should use this warm spirit water to deal with Su Xiruo?"


    "Ho ¡­ That''s right. We were also kind. We gave her spiritual medicines that are good for cultivation, but we just didn''t know that the effects of those spiritual medicines were slow." This time, Gu Wanyun''s considerations were quite thorough.


    With that being the case, even if they were to be discovered, they would not be guilty of any crime. After all, this was not a poison that would harm others.


    "You said it was light, but that girl isn''t stupid. How could she drink it herself?" Gu Jingrou coldly snorted, still feeling somewhat vexed.


    "Elder sister will pretend that she''s going to make peace with her and say good words. Even if she doesn''t like her and doesn''t hit a smiling person, it''s still common for anyone." Gu Wanyun laughed, that seemingly gentle smile was extremely terrifying.


    Hearing that, Gu Jingrou felt that it made sense, and nodded his head: "Go and invite Su Xiruo over, and tell her that I''ll treat her tea. Remember, put your attitude down."


    "I''ll do it." Gu Wanyun laughed and went out happily.


    At this time, Su Biyue, who was standing outside the door and had unintentionally heard all of this, hurriedly turned around and left his original position.


    But after thinking about it carefully, Su Xiruo''s attitude towards her had never been cold or warm. Even if she obtained Su Xiruo''s trust, she still could not take the opportunity to get close to General Helian.


    Instead, it would be better to inform the General Helian of this news first. Perhaps, he could even gain some goodwill from it.


    Thinking about it, Su Biyue changed his route and headed in another direction.

 C117

    Pear Garden.


    As Gu Wanyun stepped into the Pear Garden realm, although he kept his head down and his actions extremely low-key, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire courtyard.


    "Isn''t that Gu Wanyun?" When Bai Yanxi saw this familiar face, he purposely raised his tone, "Why are you here at our Heavenly Ranked Class Three? are you trying to find fault with me? "


    Gu Wanyun shook his head and forced out a smile: "No, I don''t have any bad intentions. I am here to look for Su Xiruo."


    "What are you looking for Xi Ruo for?" Bai Yanxi sized her up, he felt that she had ill intentions, "We don''t welcome you, and Xi Ruo won''t see you, you should quickly return!"


    She had never had any good feelings towards people with Divine Ranked Class Two.


    Gu Wanyun bit his lower lip, suppressing the anger in his heart. "I won''t hide it from you, but in fact ¡­ This time, I came here because I want to make peace with Xiruo, or rather, I want to make peace with your Heavenly Ranked Class Three. So, Xiruo wants me to invite Xiruo to our Plum Garden to drink some tea and have a seat for a while. "


    "Tea? In my opinion, it should be the Hongmen Family Banquet! " Bai Yanxi''s words were spot-on and he was extremely vigilant.


    "Who wants to invite me to tea?" Just then, Su Xiruo''s voice casually sounded out. She slowly walked out of the hall and glanced at Gu Wanyun.


    This Gu Wanyun really didn''t have a good memory ah. He had just come back from the Heavenly Ranked Class, and he already wanted to do something.


    "Xiruo." "Don''t misunderstand me. This time, I really do not have any malicious intent, I only feel that there were too many misunderstandings between us in the past. But now, big sister and I, we just want to get back together and write off all our past grudges.


    Gu Wanyun acted very sincere, but he was still a bit nervous, afraid that Su Xiruo would not agree.


    "Xiruo, don''t listen to her." Bai Yanxi glared at Gu Wanyun, "The two sisters must be up to no good, this time, you mustn''t go!"


    Su Xiruo did not comment and smiled: "Yan Xi, since they have invited me earnestly, if I do not go, wouldn''t it be giving me too little face?"


    Hearing this, Gu Wanyun''s face immediately lit up with happiness. "That''s right, big sister and I both truly want to make peace with you two. Xiruo, come with me, we won''t take much time!"


    "Xiruo." Bai Yanxi pulled on Su Xiruo''s sleeves and shook his head, signalling her not to go there.


    However, Su Xiruo gave her a "don''t worry" look, signalling her to be at ease, "I''ll be right back, there''ll be no problem."


    It just so happened that the inner sect competition was just around the corner, so she could go and probe out the Divine Ranked Class Two''s true strength and situation.


    "Xiruo, this way please, I''ll lead the way!" Gu Wanyun had a smile on his face, and he even threw Bai Yanxi a mocking and disdainful look before leaving with Su Xiruo.


    Bai Yanxi sighed helplessly, feeling extremely uneasy: "What do we do? It''s better to tell them about this matter! "


    Even if Xi Ri wasn''t afraid, she was afraid that something would happen. Thus, she turned around and entered the inner hall.


    Su Xiruo followed Gu Wanyun all the way to the Plum Courtyard. At the same time, Gu Jingrou had already prepared some food and wine, seemingly waiting for her to come over.


    "Xiruo, please sit." Gu Jingrou gave Su Xiruo a polite smile, signalling for her to sit down, "There''s no need to be formal here."


    Su Xiruo did not show any signs of politeness, he took the opportunity to sit down: "Why did you call me here, just directly say it!"


    Gu Jingrou laughed, it was rare for him to speak to her in such a gentle tone: "There''s nothing special about it, it''s just that there are too many misunderstandings between us, the relationship between us has always been very tense. I know that I have done many things wrong, so today, I just want to open my heart and give you a compensation.


    "You must be joking." Su Xiruo didn''t take her words to heart at all, "Competition between Divine Ranked Class is unavoidable, there is no right or wrong, and of course, there aren''t any absolute friends."


    The last sentence, seemed to have touched upon Gu Jingrou''s heart. Gu Jingrou laughed awkwardly, and then deliberately avoided that topic: "Regardless of whether or not we can be friends, at least I hope that our relationship will not be as tense as before. This way, I can be considered satisfied."


    After saying that, Gu Jingrou raised his wine cup, pretending to be indifferent as he said: "Come, let me toast you!"


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised slightly, and just as she raised her wine cup, with her keen senses as a Poison Master, she immediately discovered that there was something wrong with the wine.


    ~ This Gu Jingrou, do you really think everyone is stupid? Unfortunately, this elixir was useless against her!


    Thus, Su Xiruo pretended not to know anything and gulped the wine down.


    Gu Jingrou secretly rejoiced in his heart. He probably never thought that his objective would actually be achieved so quickly!


    Just as Yun Qian left from the Book Pavilion, he saw Su Biyue running out with a pant, with a face full of worry: "General Helian, it''s bad, something''s happened!"


    Yun Qian knit her brows and asked indifferently, "What is it?"


    "I just happened to overhear the conversation between the Senior Sister Gu and her sister." Su Biyue then explained to him, "At this time, Xi Luo should be invited by them to the Plum Courtyard for a drink, and Senior Sister Gu would definitely mess with the wine!"


    Then, afraid that Yun Qian might suspect something, Su Biyue added on, "I was looking for someone in the Pear Garden, but Xiruo is no longer here, so I came over to inform you. Perhaps, you should think of a way to save Xiruo!"


    Actually, Su Biyue had never gone to the Pear Garden before, and she had purposely delayed for a good while before coming over to inform Yun Qian, because she also really hoped that Su Xiruo would suffer.


    In any case, as long as he came to report this information, General Helian would definitely remember his kindness.


    Yun Qian''s eyes, which were originally as calm as water, became slightly colder. He didn''t say anything more and directly headed towards the Plum Garden.


    "General Helian, wait for me." Su Biyue''s face revealed joy, and quickly chased after her.


    When Yun Qian rushed to the Plum Courtyard, Gu Jingrou just so happened to send Su Xiruo off. Upon seeing Yun Qian, Gu Jingrou was shocked, "Master Helian, you ¡­"


    Following that, she saw that Su Biyue was following right behind Yun Qian, and couldn''t help but curl up her fingers tightly, as if she was afraid.


    Did the traitor Su Biyue reveal something?


    "Xiruo." Helian Yunqian saw that Xi Ruo''s face was slightly red, her steps were light, and worried, "Are you alright?"


    Su Xiruo''s gaze was in a bit of a trance, vaguely seeing a beautiful and exquisite face, she immediately pounced forward, her small body swaying unsteadily into his embrace. Following that, her cherry lips lightly kissed his cheek.


    "Yun Qian, I missed you so much." Her voice was very light, and her tone carried a little drunkenness. Yun Qian did not refuse, and carried her up horizontally as he shot a malicious gaze towards Gu Jingrou.


    "Master Helian." Gu Jingrou hurriedly explained, "Xiruo, she... "It''s just that I can''t drink as much as I want. After I drink two more cups, when I wake up, I''ll be fine."


    Fortunately, he could use excessive alcohol as an excuse. Gu Jingrou lowered his head, not daring to look at him in the eyes.


    Yun Qian said coldly, "You''d better pray that nothing happened to her."


    Suddenly, the surrounding temperature seemed to have frozen over, if his tone could kill, then Gu Jingrou would have died thousands of times.


    At this time, Yun Qian was the most worried for the girl in his arms. He did not care about settling the score with Gu Jingrou, so he turned around and left the place with Su Xiruo.


    Su Biyue turned around and saw the look of fear that Yun Qian had towards Su Xiruo. He couldn''t help but feel extremely jealous in his heart.


    Just on what basis is this, that Su Xiruo can receive Yun Qian''s care and care at all times, but I, cannot be looked straight into his eyes!


    "Su Biyue!" At this time, Gu Jingrou directed all of his anger onto Su Biyue, "You sure have guts, to actually learn how to spread information!"

 C118

    Su Biyue retreated a step, gently shook his head, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful: "Senior Sister Gu, I didn''t do it on purpose, I just felt that what you guys did was too excessive ¡­"


    "Shut up!" Gu Jingrou coldly interrupted her words and sent Su Biyue flying several meters away with a palm. It seemed as if he could no longer hide the rage in his heart.


    Su Biyue spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly got up from the ground: "Senior Sister Gu, if you want to punish me to vent my anger, then punish me if you want, I just can''t bear to watch your methods!"


    "Alright, you have the right to not get used to me!" Gu Jingrou was instantly angered by her words, a suction force pulled Su Biyue''s body over and grabbed her neck fiercely, "I really didn''t think that there would be a traitor beside me. Before, it was you who went to inform Su Xiruo, right?"


    Su Biyue closed his eyes and felt like he was about to suffocate.


    It was precisely because she wanted to anger Gu Jingrou that she had to let Gu Jingrou drive her out of the Divine Ranked Class Two.


    This time, Yun Qian had accepted a favor from him. If she went to beg him at this time, it might have been reasonable enough to achieve her goal!


    "Alright!" Gu Jingrou was so angry that his fingers were trembling, as if he was throwing trash, throwing Su Biyue out. "Since you like to inform Su Biyue, then I will satisfy you! From today onwards, get the hell out of my Divine Ranked Class Two and never come back! Even if you come back, your entire Divine Ranked Class Two will reject you, and won''t let you have a good day! "


    With one less Su Biyue, Gu Jingrou did not feel that it would be a loss at all. After all, with Su Biyue''s strength, in front of Divine Ranked Class, he was considered to be a lowly person. Not only could he not help them, he even did such inside out things!


    It would be better not to have such a companion!


    Su Biyue''s finger bones were curled tightly, and he looked incomparably furious on the surface, but he didn''t know how happy he was in his heart, "Senior Sister ¡­ Are you really going to be so cruel to me? "


    She also wanted to pretend that she was going to stay for a while.


    "I didn''t kill you, that''s already the end of it. Scram!" "From now on, don''t ever appear in front of me again, otherwise, I''ll beat you up one time at a time!" Gu Jingrou arrogantly spat out these words, then turned and angrily stormed into the Plum Court.


    Su Biyue held onto the wound on her face, that delicate and touching gaze gradually disappeared, and became stern: "Gu Jingrou, everything that you''ve put on my body today, in the future, I will pay you back multiple times!"


    In the side hall, Helian Yunqian hugged Su Xiruo and was just about to put her on the bed, when her restless hands gently wrapped around his neck and leaned on him, not letting go.


    It looked like he was drunk.


    This little girl had never taken the initiative like she usually did, why did she seem like a different person when she was drunk today?


    Looking at her pink cherry lips, Yun Qian couldn''t help but lower her head and kiss her lightly. When he touched her arm, he suddenly felt that the strange Spiritual Strength in her body was about to break through.


    Actually, Su Xiruo had already broken through the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Master more than a month ago, and currently, he was also about to break through the Eight-star as well.


    But at this time, the Spiritual Strength inside her body seemed to be stimulated by some kind of medicine, and its energy was becoming more and more obvious, as if it was about to rush out of her body!


    At this time, Su Biyue''s voice came from outside the door: "Master Helian, it''s me. I can save Xi Ruo!"


    "Come in." Yun Qian coldly replied.


    Su Biyue pushed the door and entered, his entire body was covered with wounds and he looked a little pitiful.


    She secretly raised her eyes and saw Su Xiruo leaning on Yun Qian''s arm, she was so jealous that she was going crazy!


    Yun Qian glanced at her and asked casually: "Did Gu Jingrou punish you?"


    Su Biyue nodded his head lightly, and in the next second, his eyes started to turn red: "Senior Sister Gu blames me for reporting, but now, he has chased me out of the Divine Ranked Class Two."


    Following that, Su Biyue helplessly sighed, and then changed the topic: "But I don''t regret it. In my heart, I''ve always treated Xiruo as my little sister. For Xiruo, even if I was kicked out of the academy, I would still accept it."


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Suddenly, Su Xiruo coughed lightly, his face looked to be extremely pale, and immediately, Yun Qian immediately patted Su Xiruo''s back, as though she did not hear what Su Biyue had just said.


    "You just said that you can save her?" Yun Qian asked Su Biyue while looking at the girl in his arms with a face full of worry.


    Su Biyue stood up, walked to the side of the bed, and said, "Senior Sister Gu gave warm spirit water to Xiruo, it''s not a poison, and it''s also of some help to the cultivation of the Spiritual Strength, just that... Its effects are slow, and in a short period of time, it might even be able to suppress Xiruo''s Spiritual Strength! "


    In other words, within a short period of time, not only was Xi Ruo''s Spiritual Strength unable to increase in strength, she might even be restricted by a portion of this Warm Spirit Accumulation Water.


    In another day, it would be the inner competition. If something happened at this critical juncture, how could Xi Ruo be willing?


    "Master Helian, don''t worry, I''ll take the pulse for Xiruo first." Su Biyue''s finger bones touched onto Su Xiruo''s veins, after careful examination, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.


    Wait, is this still warm spiritual water? This should not have been a slow-acting spirit medicine, but why was Su Xiruo''s body completely absorbing it in an instant?


    "How is it?" Seeing the astonishment on her face, Yun Qian hurriedly asked.


    Su Biyue then truthfully told her: "Master Helian, with Xiruo''s physique, it seems ¡­ "It''s a bit special!"


    "Special?" He didn''t quite understand.


    "Yes." Su Biyue nodded with incomparable sincerity, "If an ordinary person had used this Warm Spirit Accumulation Water, they would need a long period of time to absorb this spiritual medicine and produce a medicinal effect. However, Xiruo''s physique is different from ordinary people, she can quickly absorb the medicinal effect of this medicine."


    Hearing this, Yun Qian understood what Su Biyue meant.


    In other words, not only was this Warm Water filled with spirit energy unable to restrict Xi Ruo''s Spiritual Strength, it could also be used in the shortest amount of time, and play a role in raising her Spiritual Strength!


    Unbelievable, Yun Qian then tested Xi Ruo''s pulse by himself, and found that it was basically stable, but accompanied by the unstable fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, it seemed like he could break through at any time!


    Su Biyue smiled and said: "Master Helian, looks like our worries are unnecessary. Xi Ruo should be fine, as long as she can endure the effects of the medicine, maybe, it can increase her speed of breakthrough!"


    She looked happy on the surface, but she was furious on the inside.


    Why was Su Xiruo always so lucky? Not only did this Warm Spirit Accumulating Water not harm her, it even brought her benefits!


    "Yes." Hearing that, Helian Yunqian felt more at ease. Now, he only needed to wait for the girl to wake up.


    "Master Helian, right now, I have already been driven out of my Divine Ranked Class Two by Senior Sister Gu, I have nowhere to go. If I don''t have to, I don''t want to beg you, and if you don''t mind, then take pity on me, and keep me by your side. I would be willing to serve you even if I had to serve you tea."


    Helian Yunqian shot a bland glance at her, thinking that Su Biyue being expelled by Gu Jingrou was more or less because he wanted to save Xiruo. If he didn''t care about it at all, then it would truly be destroying the bridge after crossing the river.


    "I don''t need anyone by my side." However, Yun Qian naturally would not let a woman stay by his side, and coldly rejected her.


    Just as Su Biyue was feeling extremely dejected, he changed his words. "However, I can grant you permission and transfer you to Heavenly Ranked Class Three."


    Suddenly, Su Biyue was beaming with joy, he felt that this was a good result, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you Master Helian, thank you Master Helian!"


    Although he could not directly stay by Yun Qian''s side, if he were to use Heavenly Ranked Class Three, then he would have more of a chance to interact with Yun Qian.


    "Xi, if you need to rest, you can leave first." Finishing his instructions, Yun Qian immediately sent out the order for the guests to leave.

 C119

    "Yes." Su Biyue bit his lower lip, and carefully exited the room. He was extremely pleased with himself.


    Heh, Gu Jingrou, who would want to stay in your Divine Ranked Class Two to endure your anger? From now on, I don''t need to keep looking at your face!


    In the room, Yun Qian looked at the young girl in his embrace as he gently caressed her blushing cheeks. It was as if he just wanted to quietly watch from the sidelines for the whole night.


    He wanted to place Xi Ruo on the bed to rest, but she didn''t let go. She tightly hugged his neck and gently buried her head in his chest like a docile kitten.


    Helpless, he could only hug her without moving, allowing her to roll around in his arms. Being able to quietly stare at her was already more than enough.


    In the early morning of the next day, Su Xiruo stretched his body lazily. He felt that the Spiritual Strength in his four limbs were much more abundant, as if he had suddenly broken through the bottleneck that he had never been able to break through.


    When he opened his eyes, that enlarged version of that beautiful face entered his sight, Su Xiruo''s eyes were wide open, he did not know what had happened.


    "You''re awake?" Seeing that she had finally woken up, Yun Qian asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"


    Su Xiruo lightly shook his head: "Just drank a bit more yesterday, and my head still hurt a little."


    Helian Yunqian let out a small sigh of relief.


    So it turned out that this girl was really just drunk yesterday. Not only was she fine, she even leveled up when she woke up, causing him to worry for an entire night without closing his eyes.


    "I drank a bit too much last night, and my mind is still a bit muddled. I probably didn''t do anything to you, right?" Looking at his arrogant and spoiled expression, Su Xiruo immediately asked this question with incomparable nervousness.


    It can''t be, could it be that I did something to bully him last night? With his female rogue personality, he would definitely be able to do it.


    Thinking of this, Su Xiruo lowered his head, a little ashamed.


    "I didn''t do anything. At most, I just hugged him and refused to let go. I said something that you normally wouldn''t dare to say." Seeing the slight redness on her face, Yun Qian chuckled and teased her intentionally.


    "Really?"


    "Really."


    Su Xiruo covered his face with his hands, feeling that he was unable to look anyone in the eye anymore, he hurriedly explained himself: "Then ¡­ "Don''t take it to heart. You can''t take it seriously after drinking it."


    His reserved image had probably been completely ruined this time!


    "Then, if I am serious, what should I do?" However, Helian Yunqian refused to let her go, "If you treat me like last night, I think it would be pretty good."


    Su Xiruo sighed, he rolled his eyes and was about to stand up, but suddenly, he seemed to have realized something.


    "Yun Qian..." I, I seem to have advanced! " Su Xiruo stood up, he felt that the Spiritual Strength in his body had become much more abundant, probably because it had been strengthened with Spirit Water!


    "Could it be that you don''t know that your special physique allows you to quickly absorb the medicinal effects of this warm spirit water?" Yun Qian retorted.


    Su Xiruo lightly nodded: "I naturally know. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have drank the wine Gu Jingrou gave me."


    She just did not expect that the medicinal effect of this Warm Spirit Accumulating Water would be so good that it allowed her to break through her Eight-star in just one night!


    Like this, she would have to thank Gu Jingrou properly for helping her with such a big favor.


    "You made me worry for the entire night." Yun Qian''s tone was half reproach and half pride.


    Although Su Biyue said that there was no need to worry, but seeing that the little girl had been unconscious for so long, she was still worried about him.


    "Didn''t I already tell you that these spiritual medicines and poisons are useless to me?" Su Xiruo smiled at him, then asked, "But I''m curious, how did you know last night that I was going to the Divine Ranked Class Two area?"


    "Su Biyue told me." Yun Qian did not hide anything from her.


    "Su Biyue?" Su Xiruo was startled, as though he did not expect it to be her.


    "Is she not afraid of Gu Jingrou discovering her actions?" Su Xiruo seemed to be able to imagine the consequences for Su Biyue.


    If Gu Jingrou knew the truth, he would definitely not let Su Biyue go so easily.


    "It has already been discovered." Yun Qian glanced at her and explained, "Therefore, I did a favor by taking her in at Heavenly Ranked Class Three. You wouldn''t mind, would you?"


    Even if Su Xiruo wanted to, there was probably no reason for him to. "She was targeted by Gu Jingrou in order to save me, so consider it as me returning a favor to her."


    Although she wasn''t very clear about Su Biyue''s motive for getting close to her time and time again, at the moment, she couldn''t see any malicious intent in his words.


    At this time, a series of knocks on the door broke the serenity and anger that had filled the room. Liu Sheng''s voice sounded from outside: "Master, I have something to report!"


    Su Xiruo then immediately stood up from Yun Qian''s embrace and sat upright on the bed. He straightened his clothes and made sufficient preparations.


    "Come in."


    Only after obtaining the permission of his master did Liu Sheng dare to enter the door. Seeing Su Xiruo sitting beside his master, he was shocked: "Master ¡­ Am I disturbing you two? "


    "You came at the perfect time." Su Xiruo stood up and said, he was rather tactful, "What is it, speak, I should also leave now."


    After speaking, she directly left the side hall, and even lightly closed the door.


    "Master, the Orc Clan results are out." After confirming that there was no one around, Liu Sheng then lowered his voice and reported, "It is said that it is because of the internal conflict within the Fox Clan that caused the Orc Clan to be in turmoil. But now, it seems that everything has returned to tranquility, and we have not seen any Vicious Beasts around the borders for more than two months!"


    Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but for some reason, Helian Yunqian still felt a little uneasy in his heart.


    "Why is everything suddenly calm?" Yun Qian''s eyebrows furrowed, she cared more about this question.


    "This... It might just be an internal matter of the Fox Clan, I am afraid that even we may not be able to investigate more details. " Liu Sheng spoke the truth, "However, even though everything is calm now, I still haven''t asked my Mercenary Group to leave the borders. In the end, it''s still better to take precautions."


    Helian Yunqian slightly nodded, he was relatively satisfied with his treatment: "This matter, we will continue to investigate."


    "Master means that you want me to investigate the Fox Clan?" Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment. He probably felt that there was no need for this.


    "Yes." Yun Qingyun calmly said, "Remember to be careful."


    However, since Master had already spoken, he could only agree and say, "Yes, I''ll go make the arrangements."


    Su Biyue stood in the middle of the hall, and occasionally raised his head, looking at their repelled and vigilant eyes, his heart filled with a bad taste.


    The people of Heavenly Ranked Class Three were not friendly to her, but that was not important. As long as she could get close to Yun Qian, she would feel cold.


    "Everyone, I have explained the sequence of events clearly." Su Biyue''s voice was very soft and soft, "I also don''t want to disturb you two, but now, there''s nowhere else to go. I had to go, and moreover, this was also Master Helian''s will."


    "Hmph, stop using Master Helian as an example." Bai Yanxi interrupted her, "We are only asking you, where is Xiruo now?"


    Xi Ruo didn''t return for the night. Last night, they were all very worried.


    "I''m here." Suddenly, Su Xiruo just returned and slowly walked into the main hall.


    Su Biyue raised his head and looked at Su Xiruo pitifully: "Sister Cyril, about this matter ¡­"


    "I already know what happened last night." Su Xiruo knew what she wanted to say, and went straight to the point.


    Then, Mu Lingxi asked her, "Xiruo, did Yun Qian really make her stay?"


    They did not wish for anyone to join in, especially someone from the Divine Ranked Class Two.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny, "Su Biyue, since it''s Yun Qian who allowed you to stay in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, then I will allow you to stay.

    Upon hearing that there might be conditions, Su Biyue''s heart tightened and he started to panic: "Sister Cyril, just say it, as long as it''s something I can do, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will still do it."


    "You don''t have to be so determined." "It''s just that since you''ve entered the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, everything must be done according to our rules. As long as you''re willing to obey your duty, I can guarantee that you''ll stay here in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three."


    Su Biyue heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, luckily it was not something difficult.


    Therefore, in order to show his determination, Su Biyue took out his sword from his waist and cut a wound on his palm in front of everyone. Fresh blood flowed down from the wound.


    "Everyone, I know that because I was once a member of the Divine Ranked Class Two, you all have a grudge against me. But today, I, Su Biyue, have sworn an alliance with blood. Once I enter this Heavenly Ranked Class Three, I will vow to die together with all of you.


    Su Biyue''s voice was not loud, but it was filled with determination. When they heard her, they also felt that this woman had expressed her sincerity.


    "Alright, I hope you can keep your word." Xiao Muran was the first to be willing to accept Su Biyue.


    As for the others, seeing that her attitude wasn''t bad, they didn''t say anything more, "Fine, Xiruo, you have the final say."


    As long as this Su Biyue was willing to obey their orders, to their Heavenly Ranked Class Three, he would only be an extra person, and would not have much of an impact on them.


    "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely not disappoint you." Su Biyue laughed, knowing that what he had just said still had some effect.


    "Enough, there''s no need to make the atmosphere so tense." Nangong Yi''s tone seemed to have become a bit more gentle, "In our place, we don''t have the same formality as the Divine Ranked Class Two.


    Out of curiosity, Bai Yanxi also came forward to speak with him: "Oh right, Su Biyue, honestly, do you dislike that woman Gu Jingrou a lot?"


    Seeing that they had fused with Su Biyue so quickly, Su Xiruo laughed helplessly, and returned to his room, planning to continue cultivating.


    Today, she had just broken through the Eight-star and the Spiritual Strength was still unstable, so she had to consolidate it. In tomorrow''s inner competition, she would definitely catch Yun Lan by surprise!


    On the next day, the inner competition began and Duel Yard was being held. Many students from the low level classes came over to watch, and this time, even Second Elder Chu Yu himself was present.


    Just as they entered the stage, a serious and tense atmosphere blew over. Bai Yanxi could not help but say in a low voice: "I wonder who I will be fighting in the first round. I hope it won''t be Yun Lan!"


    If he really were to meet Yun Lan in the first round, his luck would truly be too bad!


    "What are you afraid of? It''s all up to fate. " Xiao Muran on the other hand, had an indifferent look, "If you really have the misfortune to meet Yun Lan, then we can only wait for the next round.


    Bai Yanxi rolled his eyes at him, and jokingly said: "You should think about how to deal with Gu Jingrou first!"


    These three words seemed to pierce into Xiao Muran''s heart.


    Previously, he had lost to Gu Jingrou twice in a row. This woman had already become his nightmare and was something that he could not get rid of. Even so, he was already a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master.


    At this time, Yun Lan and the others just happened to pass by. As they met on a narrow path, his sharp gaze immediately fell on Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo pretended not to see it, and purposefully shifted his gaze.


    But Yun Lan was not to be outdone, he took the initiative to come forward and chimed in: "Su Xiruo, you look to be in a bad mood, today, do you intend to directly admit defeat to me?"


    "What do you mean?" Mu Lingxi was the first to become displeased, "It hasn''t even started, it''s not certain who will win yet. Don''t be too arrogant!"


    "It''s just a mere Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master, I don''t even put it in my eyes." Although Yun Lan said this, in truth, in order to deal with Su Xiruo, he had spent a lot of effort during these three months!


    Although Su Xiruo was currently only a Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Master, in Yun Lan''s heart, he had never underestimated this girl. After all, this girl was able to defeat Six Rank Spiritual Beast with her own strength!


    Yun Lan had already researched it before, and the reason why Su Xiruo could challenge someone stronger than him was because he had the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill in his hands!


    But now, he had also become accustomed to the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, and it was to the extent that he was almost at the level of Spirit Monarch. Every step was steady and steady, and once he used the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, he was confident that he would be able to fight against the Spirit Monarch!


    "Oh, right." Then, Yun Lan added, "Not only you, but you all, in a while, just wait for me to step on you one by one!"


    "You!" Xiao Muran curled his fingers tightly, wishing that he could smash this wild fellow''s face.


    "Yun Lan." Su Xiruo laughed and spoke in a disdainful tone, "I will only allow you one last time to act so arrogantly in front of me. You won''t have a chance in the future anyway."


    After throwing down those casual words, Su Xiruo left without looking back. The others followed closely behind, no longer paying any attention to Yun Lan.


    He would know who was strong and who was weak once the match started. There was no need to fight with him over who would win and who would lose.


    Yun Lan looked at Su Xiruo''s back and snorted: "You truly do not know your place!"


    "Senior brother Yun Lan, please teach them a lesson later. Don''t be angry." Lin Yuan consoled him.


    Only then did Yun Lan feel slightly better. He swore to himself that not only would he defeat Su Xiruo ruthlessly, he would also make her sweep the ground with her dignity in front of everyone!


    Su Biyue sat down next to Bai Yanxi. To the side, she happened to be a student of Divine Ranked Class Two, so she could only lower her head in embarrassment.


    "Yo, isn''t he that ingrate Su Biyue?" Gu Wanyun deliberately raised his tone and sneered.


    Su Biyue slightly frowned, his fingers tensed up, wanting to argue for himself: "I''m not!"


    "If you aren''t an ingrate, then what are you?" Gu Wanyun was simply unwilling to let it go, "In my opinion, you may be a spy sent here by the Heavenly Ranked Class Three anyway!"


    "Gu Wanyun, clean your mouth!" Finally, Xiao Muran couldn''t resist opening his mouth and retorting, "It was your Divine Ranked Class Two that kicked her out, and now that he''s being slandered, is that a spy that we sent over? Your imagination is really rich! "


    "Exactly." Mu Lingxi also agreed along, "Gu Wanyun, I see that you have just returned to the Divine Ranked Class and your skin is itchy. You owe me a lesson!"


    Gu Wanyun was so angry by their words that his face turned red, he did not dare to refute directly, and could only vent his anger on Su Biyue: "Su Biyue, you sure are capable, you just came to Heavenly Ranked Class Three, and already everyone is defending you."


    "Alright, stop it!" Finally, Gu Jingrou interrupted her and scolded her coldly, "Aren''t you ashamed of yourself?"


    Although Gu Wanyun was extremely unwilling, but since her elder sister had already spoken, she could only endure it.


    "Su Biyue, ignore them." Bai Yanxi patted Su Biyue''s shoulders, his tone still considered friendly, "Later, let''s see how we''ll teach them a lesson!"


    Su Biyue laughed, "Actually, you don''t have to protect me like this."


    "Since you have entered our Heavenly Ranked Class Three, we naturally cannot bear to see you being bullied by outsiders." Bai Yanxi was quite loyal, he was planning to deal with it until the end.


    Su Biyue secretly rejoiced, she never thought that people from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three would actually be so easy to get along with. She had to get along with these people as soon as possible!


    Gradually, most of the students had arrived, including the two teachers from Divine Ranked Class. The Second Elder was invited to sit at the seat of honor, and waited for the start of the inner competition.


    This competition, would still be presided over by Liang Si.


    "Everyone, the results of the first round of the lottery have been drawn. In the first round, Su Biyue against Gu Jingrou."


    When his words fell, everyone was dumbfounded. On the side of the Divine Ranked Class Two, it was filled with enthusiasm, probably because they felt that the Senior Sister Gu could finally teach that ungrateful bastard a lesson in front of everyone.


    Su Biyue stood in place, at a loss of what to do.


    He never expected himself to be so unlucky as to run into Gu Jingrou the moment he arrived. Now, Gu Jingrou would not let him off so easily!

 C121

    Gu Jingrou smiled, laughed coldly, then took the lead and flew up to the stage, looking down from above at Su Biyue who had yet to make his move, as though he was mocking her.


    Heh, he only had this much guts. He hasn''t even come up yet, and is probably so scared that his legs go soft.


    After all, Su Biyue was only a two star Heavenly Spirit Master, and the current Gu Jingrou had just broken through to nine star Heavenly Spirit Master not too long ago, the difference in strength between the two was difficult to overcome!


    "Su Biyue, hurry up and go up!" Gu Wanyun continued to fan the flames below, "Otherwise, just hurry up and admit defeat, don''t waste time!"


    "I think your Heavenly Ranked Class Three only has this much power!"


    "That''s right ¡­"


    Su Biyue''s finger bones curled tightly, after hearing all the humiliation, he finally could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and flew up onto the stage.


    Even if he knew that he had to lose, he had to grit his teeth and persevere on. He couldn''t allow others to see him as a joke.


    "Senior Sister Gu." Su Biyue said indifferently, "Please enlighten me!"


    Gu Jingrou snorted coldly, he pulled out his sword and rushed towards Su Biyue''s face, causing her to immediately lean forward to dodge, but it was simply too late. Gu Jingrou''s Sword Qi moved as fast as lightning and quickly arrived behind her.


    Su Biyue slightly raised his eyebrows. He thought, forget it, just let Gu Jingrou finish him off in one move, it could be considered as "dying" too!


    Who knew that with a twist of the blade, Gu Jingrou''s arm was only slightly cut, but he immediately retracted his weapon and started to fight.


    "Gu Jingrou actually showed mercy?" Nangong Yi felt that this was somewhat unbelievable.


    "No." "She is deliberately delaying the battle and is trying to take this opportunity to humiliate Su Biyue."


    "What?"


    Following that, Su Biyue was forced to retreat step by step, the Purple Moon Fan was used gracefully, but continued to avoid direct combat with Gu Jingrou. The entire battle situation was entirely under Gu Jingrou''s control, and Su Biyue was constantly being restrained like a puppet!


    "Senior Sister Gu." Su Biyue slumped to the ground exhausted and admitted defeat, "If you really hate me, then kill me in one move!"


    At this moment, her body was covered in wounds and her hair was slightly disheveled, making her look extremely miserable. In front of everyone, she only felt that her dignity was completely worthless!


    On the other hand, those students who did not know about the situation thought that the Senior Sister Gu was kind and kind, showing mercy to Su Biyue at every turn.


    "Heh, Su Biyue, today I will let you have a taste of what happens when you betray me!" Gu Jingrou''s fingers curled up tightly, and quickly flew in front of Su Biyue.


    In the next second, Su Biyue panicked and wanted to block, but just as he raised his fan, he was sent flying by her sword. Then, Su Biyue anxiously stood up, grabbed her shoulder, and pinched down using his palm force.


    "Crack ~ ~ ~"


    Ah!


    In that moment, only the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Gu Jingrou raised his leg and kicked hard at Su Biyue''s lower abdomen, causing her to fall down from the stage.


    Fresh blood splattered all over the ground as Su Biyue lay on the ground. He felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning.


    "Gu Jingrou wins!"


    Everyone below the stage sighed, but most of them were clapping for Gu Jingrou, probably because they felt that Gu Jingrou''s actions were too interesting.


    "Su Biyue!" At this time, the people from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three all surrounded Su Biyue and helped him up from the ground.


    "Su Biyue, are you alright?"


    Su Biyue forced out a smile: "I''m so sorry, blame me, I embarrassed everyone the moment I came out."


    "Don''t say that." Bai Yanxi interrupted her, "It was Gu Jingrou who was too ruthless. We will help you teach her a lesson later!"


    "Second round, Bai Yanxi against Gu Wanyun!"


    Just as she spoke out, it was her turn to do so. Furthermore, she was going to be the one to deal with Gu Jingrou''s sister.


    Thus, Bai Yanxi flew up the stage, facing Gu Wanyun, he was not afraid in the slightest.


    "Gu Wanyun, take out all of your abilities!" Bai Yanxi looked fearless.


    Gu Wanyun curled his fingers tightly: "What crazy words."


    Although Gu Wanyun currently only had six star Heavenly Spirit Master and was one level lower than Bai Yanxi, her advantage lay in her combat experience!


    Gu Wanyun was an old student, and before Bai Yanxi, he had already received a series of training. His combat experience and skills were enough to transform into an absolute advantage.


    Therefore, even if she were to face Bai Yanxi, who was one rank higher than her, she had nothing to be afraid of.


    "Come." Bai Yanxi was not afraid of her either, after saying that, a row of concealed weapons flew out from his sleeves and struck towards Gu Wanyun''s face.


    Gu Wanyun picked up his weapon and used his hand to cut off all the hidden weapons. In the next second, he sensed a movement behind him and regained his senses, only to see two daggers striking her back, dodging the attacks with extreme speed. The daggers had struck Bai Yanxi''s weapon at the blade, leaving a blood-red wound on her shoulder.


    This Bai Yanxi was a Refiner, he had countless of unexpected Spiritual Artifact in his pocket!


    Furthermore, in these past three months, he had obtained Master Helian''s permission to attend many refining lessons with the students of Senior Class. The Refinery had advanced by leaps and bounds.


    "It''s just an insignificant skill!" Gu Wanyun clearly could not take it anymore, but he still wanted to ridicule Bai Yanxi. Clenching his weapon tightly, he chopped at his head.


    Bai Yanxi dodged lightly, two white silk flew out from his sleeves and wrapped around Gu Wanyun''s waist. Immediately, Gu Wanyun''s body lost its center of gravity, and was flung into the air. When he landed, he was already thrown off the stage.


    "Damn it!" Gu Wanyun clenched his fists and punched at the ground. He never thought that he would lose to her in this way.


    "Bai Yanxi wins!"


    Bai Yanxi ran off the stage happily, and could not help but flaunt in a low voice: "How is it, was I very strong just now?"


    Xiao Muran laughed disdainfully: "If you''re powerful, then so be it. But if you meet someone stronger than you, then you''ll be at a disadvantage."


    Bai Yanxi slightly nodded, and still listened to what he said a little.


    She also remembered that the Master Helian had once said that the victory of the Spiritual Artifact did not lie in the number of people, but more importantly, the rank of the Spiritual Artifact itself.


    However, her current Refinery was too average, so she could only rely on numbers to win.


    "Third match, Mu Lingxi against Ye Cangyu!"


    "¡­"


    "Mu Lingxi wins!"


    After Mu Lingxi got on the stage, he defeated Ye Cangyu almost quickly, and did not dilly-dally in the slightest.


    Following that, one by one, the students entered the arena. Although the first student of Heavenly Ranked Class Three was defeated on stage, his following performance could be said to be astonishing.


    It was a transformation that could be seen with the naked eye!


    Be it physical fitness, agility, or combat experience, he was so mature that he almost surpassed his seniors. When faced with unexpected situations, he could still deal with them unhurriedly.


    "Did all these Heavenly Ranked Class Three students eat any medicine?" On the other side, when Lin Yuan saw all of their reactions, his eyes widened.


    Each of his moves were watertight, and it was difficult to find any flaws. Furthermore, his endurance had clearly surpassed the other students by a large margin!


    "I heard that Master Helian has been giving special Heavenly Ranked Class Three training for the past three months." Another student whispered.


    The result of this special training was like the difference between cloud and mud compared to his previous random fighting style!


    "Hmph." But Yun Lan still looked down on him, "So what? No matter how hard they try, they won''t be able to make up for the gap in strength! "


    Without strength, no matter how special the training was, it would be useless.


    However, the first round of the competition came to an end quickly. There were a total of ten victors, and their Heavenly Ranked Class Three s took up five of them. In other words, other than Su Biyue and Nangong Yi, everyone else had successfully entered the second round.


    Furthermore, because Nangong Yi had met Su Xiruo, he was swept away by his own class.


    On the other hand, only Yun Lan, Lin Yuan and Ling Qianye were left in the second round of the competition, and the Divine Ranked Class Two was even more miserable than that.


    Liang Si sat on a side seat and used a strange gaze to size up Yun Qian who was beside him.


    This brat, just what kind of medicine did he feed the Heavenly Ranked Class Three people, and why did he improve so quickly with just one or two of them?

 C122

    At the beginning, he had thought that Yun Qian was only bringing students to the beginner''s class for the sake of novelty. He had only thought of bringing them in for fun, he wouldn''t take them seriously at all.


    But today, it would seem that he was really impressive when he brought students!


    Suddenly, Yun Qian felt a burning gaze from his entire body, staring at himself, he glanced at Liang Si and asked: "Why are you staring at me?"


    Only then did Liang Si regain his senses, and said: "This old man respects the guidance of the Master Helian, but this student with Heavenly Ranked Class Three, could be said to have been in the limelight just now!"


    Yun Qian had never paid much attention to such praises. "Their talents are outstanding and they are diligent, it has nothing to do with me."


    Liang Si pretended a smile, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.


    Could it be that the Divine Ranked Class One that he painstakingly taught with all of his effort was not even comparable to the fruits of this brat''s casual teaching?


    However, this was only the beginning, and the good show was yet to come. In his heart, he still had a lot of confidence in the top students that he had taught himself!


    "Second round begin, first match, Yun Lan against Bai Yanxi!"


    In the next second, Bai Yanxi''s face changed.


    It can''t be? Before he entered the arena, he had been praying that he did not run into Yun Lan. He did not expect that he would not be able to make it past the first round, but the second round was still unavoidable!


    "Yan Xi, congratulations. The prophecy has come true." Nangong Yi did not forget to stand at the side and gloat.


    Bai Yanxi patted his head, thinking, I''m probably dead this time, even if I''m going to die, I won''t be Yun Lan''s match.


    "Yan Xi." At this time, Su Xiruo opened his mouth and spoke with a more serious tone, "It''s good that you''ve done your best, there''s no need to compare notes with him."


    Sighing slightly, these words could be considered as comforting, thus, Bai Yanxi could only fly up onto the stage.


    "Heh, starting off with such an unchallenging opponent, how boring." Yun Lan coldly glanced at Bai Yanxi, his tone filled with arrogance.


    Bai Yanxi was also unwilling to be outdone, "Yun Lan, don''t be arrogant, look down on your opponent, and you will have to pay the price!"


    "Very well. Today, I''ll let you know whether you are worth it or not." Yun Lan gave a noncommittal smile. The berserk Spiritual Strength had already condensed in his palm.


    Bai Yanxi''s face showed a trace of seriousness. When the Spiritual Artifact made its move, she was already prepared, but Yun Lan did not have any plans to use the Spiritual Artifact.


    Bai Yanxi''s fingers tightened, he wanted to retreat and dodge, but he couldn''t find any way to do so. However, if he faced them head on, he feared that he would not be able to withstand them!


    "Go to hell!" Yun Lan let out a cold laugh, the powerful Spiritual Strength struck right at Bai Yanxi''s face, breaking the Spiritual Artifact in her hands, and sent her flying along with him.


    Fighting the enemy with one move, he would not give the opponent any chance to counterattack!


    He wanted everyone to see that those playthings, those little cleverness, they were all vulnerable in the face of absolute power!


    He wanted to prove to everyone that even the small trick of Heavenly Ranked Class Three would not work in front of Yun Lan!


    Bai Yanxi spat out a mouthful of blood, and landed heavily on the ground, while Yun Lan still did not give up, the berserk Spiritual Strength condensed once again, and a killing intent seemed to have appeared in his blood-red eyes, as he rushed towards Bai Yanxi.


    Bai Yanxi forced himself to open his eyes, seeing the incoming palm attack, he was already powerless to resist, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.


    "Bai Yanxi!"


    "Yan Xi..." Danger! "


    If this fatal strike continued, even if Bai Yanxi did not die, he would still be paralyzed. This Yun Lan, he actually killed him!


    In the nick of time, Su Xiruo quickly got up from his seat, the gold Spiritual Strength quickly condensed around his body, with a palm full of power, he welcomed Yun Lan''s palm strike directly, right above his head.


    If he was a second too late, his life might have been taken!


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo was pushed back a few steps, he sensed a sweet smell coming from his throat, but on the other hand, Yun Lan stood there in a rage, staring at Su Xiruo, nothing happened.


    This damned girl, she was always spoiling his good fortune!


    Yun Qian frowned slightly. He was originally not the least bit worried, but once he saw his wife make a move, he could no longer hold it in any longer and coldly said to Liang Si, "Liang Si, control your good student!"


    Just a moment ago, Bai Yanxi had already been knocked off the stage, and it could already be considered as his loss. If Yun Lan were to continue chasing after him now, it would already be a violation of the rules.


    After he finished speaking, he turned into a blur and instantly flew to Su Xiruo''s side, asking in a small voice: "Xiruo, are you alright?"


    Su Xiruo lightly shook his head, and coldly said to Yun Lan: "Yun Lan, what you''ve just done, has already been against the rules!"


    "Hmph." Yun Lan snorted coldly, refusing to admit it, "Which eye of yours saw my foul?"


    "Are you still not going to admit it?" At this time, Liang Si appeared in front of everyone and berated.


    Since Teacher Liang Si had already spoken, Yun Lan could only lower his head and admit his mistake: "Teacher, I was in the wrong, I was too excited just now, and forgot to behave."


    "What a bastard. It''s a good thing you''re fine. Otherwise, I would have to break your legs. Scram to the side!" Liang Si scolding her in such a strict manner was actually meant for Helian Yunqian to hear.


    After all, his students had injured Yun Qian''s students, if he were to side with them, then Master Helian would have to personally punish Yun Lan.


    "Yes." Yun Lan could only obediently return to his seat.


    Following that, Liang Si sincerely apologized to Yun Qian, "Master Helian, I am really sorry. Yun Lan was impulsive just now and had messed up. This old man apologizes on behalf of Yun Lan."


    Yun Qian''s anger had yet to subside, his voice was not loud, but his demeanor was imposing. "This kind of thing, I will not tolerate it happening a second time."


    His meaning was very simple. If it happened a second time, he would have to solve it his own way!


    "Yes, yes!" Liang Si agreed with a smile on his face.


    "Let''s continue the match!" Yun Qian cast him a sidelong glance and was too lazy to continue arguing with him.


    Therefore, Liang Si flew up onto the stage, and said: "Second match, Qing Xuan against Ling Qianye!"


    Yun Qian did not return to his original position and instead sat down next to Su Xiruo. At this moment, Ye Zhuozhuo had also rushed over to treat Bai Yanxi''s injuries and recovered for a moment of tranquility.


    The other classes all stared at the Heavenly Ranked Class Three with envious gazes.


    The Master Helian was too nice to his own students, he actually took the initiative to step forward and sit together with them.


    "Xiruo, next time, don''t do such a dangerous thing." Yun Qian sighed slightly. When he thought of the matter earlier, he could not rest at ease.


    "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing. I won''t let myself suffer a loss." Su Xiruo was somewhat assured in her heart, "Moreover, if I had not intervened earlier, Bai Yanxi''s life would have been in danger!"


    Yun Qian frowned slightly as he said in a slightly reprimanding tone, "You''re all injured, and you still say that you didn''t lose out?"


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, as if he had already expected something. "I guess Yun Lan is also injured.


    On the other side, Yun Lan took advantage of the moment when no one was watching to forcefully swallow down the fresh blood that had just surged out.


    "Yun Lan, you''re also injured?" Lin Yuan looked at Yun Lan in disbelief.


    That girl only had Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Master, could she actually injure Yun Lan with a single palm?


    "Don''t speak nonsense, I was just careless just now!" Yun Lan glared at him, as though he was not willing to admit it, "When we truly meet again, I will definitely make that girl pay!"


    Lin Yuan immediately shut his mouth, and did not say anymore. He secretly glanced at Su Xiruo, and his heart actually felt a little more fear.


    That girl Su Xiruo, how many hidden terrifying strengths did she have to be able to handle nine star Heavenly Spirit Master? When he thought of this, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of crisis.


    Hopefully, he would not run into Su Xiruo later!


    "Qing Xuan wins!"


    At this time, the news of Qing Xuan''s victory came from the high platform, which could be considered to have pulled the morale of Heavenly Ranked Class Three back!

 C123

    "Next match, Xiao Muran against Gu Jingrou!"


    Immediately, the audience was filled with endless sighs. After all, when the two of them faced off, it was quite interesting.


    Previously, Xiao Muran had lost to Gu Jingrou twice, the first time was during the entrance examination, and the second time was in the Duel Yard three months ago.


    As a result, Xiao Muran felt a bit of shadow in his heart towards this woman.


    Xiao Muran''s fingers tightened into a ball, his heart inexplicably tensed up, as if he had met a great enemy, and didn''t know what to do.


    Yun Qian lightly glanced at him, and saw some panic on his face, so he said: "Xiao Muran, don''t disappoint me."


    These words seemed to give him some encouragement from the bottom of his heart. Thus, Xiao Muran answered: "This student will definitely give it his all!"


    After speaking, he flew back to the high platform.


    No matter what, he had to give it his all this time. No matter what the result would be, he just had to try his best!


    "We were defeated, but unfortunately, we met again." Gu Jingrou''s voice was soft, but every word was filled with sarcasm.


    "You!"


    Xiao Muran''s face changed, but he suddenly thought of himself, he had to suppress his impulsive emotions, and winning an argument with her would not change anything, so he changed his tone: "Senior Sister Gu, I will be serious this time, you better be careful!"


    "Alright, take it out if you have the ability!" Gu Jingrou did not waste time talking to him and took the initiative to attack. The blue Spiritual Strength around his body condensed and condensed into a huge water ball.


    Gu Jingrou was of the water attribute, so when Spiritual Strength made its move, it looked gentle, but it had the power to topple mountains and overturn seas.


    To use a spirit technique the moment he makes a move, this time Senior Sister Gu wants to end the battle as soon as possible!" "Below the stage, there was a murmur of discussion.


    "In my opinion, this Xiao Muran will lose to Senior Sister Gu once more."


    "That''s right ¡­"


    Xiao Muran calmed his heart and tried his best to block out the chaotic sound. The black colored Spiritual Strength rose up in the air and formed a sword of light that smashed Gu Jingrou''s water ball apart.


    In the next second, he pushed the heavy sword forward. Gu Jingrou raised his weapon to block, and in an instant, pushed back several meters.


    Xiao Muran''s metal attribute Spiritual Skill, would usually win in terms of absolute strength. Therefore, this time, he took advantage of his own attribute, not giving Gu Jingrou the opportunity to unleash any more tactics, oppressing him, and not giving his opponent the slightest bit of leeway.


    In these three months, what Xiao Muran had received the most, was a special training in physique and strength.


    "This guy, why is he unwilling to forgive me?" In less than an incense''s time, Gu Jingrou had a headache.


    When she was fighting with Xiao Muran before, she was the one in control of the entire situation, while Xiao Muran could only be led around by her nose, played around by her nimble tactics.


    However, this time, everything seemed to have been reversed. Xiao Muran no longer followed her rhythm, and completely abandoned her previous battle style, or perhaps, she completely gave up on tactics and only focused on brainless suppression. Unfortunately, this seemingly random brainless suppression caused her to not know how to respond.


    After wasting so much time, Gu Jingrou''s physical strength was evidently unable to keep up. However, Xiao Muran was still extremely energetic, and increased the frequency of his attacks. With a heavy blow, he knocked the blade in Gu Jingrou''s hand to the ground.


    Immediately, Gu Jingrou seemed to be struck dumb.


    Xiao Muran knew that this was the best chance to chase after her. The edge of the blade glowed with a dark brown light and when the heavy sword landed on Gu Jingrou''s shoulder, it knocked her down and the blade was pointed at her neck.


    Gu Jingrou lied on the ground and looked at Xiao Muran without moving, as if he had not reacted to how he lost to. This fellow, Xiao Muran, how could it be as if he had been reborn in just three months?


    "Senior Sister Gu, you have lost." Xiao Muran said indifferently, his expression did not change, but his heart was extremely excited.


    Gu Jingrou had always been a big problem in his heart, but now, he had finally untied the knot in his heart and personally solved this huge problem!


    The hissing sounds drowned the sea of people, but everyone felt that Xiao Muran deserved his reputation, and winning was extremely beautiful.


    In just a short three months, Xiao Muran was like a different person. His battle had become neither arrogant nor impatient, he was calm and steady, yet Gu Jingrou had not improved at all.


    Gu Jingrou lowered his head and sighed helplessly, "You win."


    "Next match, Mu Lingxi against Qin Zichen!"


    Xiao Muran went down the stage in high spirits, and could not help but ask for credit in front of Yun Qian, "Master Helian, what this student has displayed just now, it can be considered not bad, right?"


    He was extremely perturbed in his heart. After all, when he was training, every time he thought that his performance was already very good, he would be beaten and ridiculed by the Master Helian.


    However, this time around, Yun Qian faintly spat out two words, "Not bad."


    Receiving these two words of praise, Xiao Muran was already extremely excited, with a smile blossoming on his face.


    "Hehe, you really didn''t see it, but just now, even Gu Jingrou was dumbfounded." Ye Zhuozhuo could not help but interject, "I think he doesn''t even know how he lost!"


    Everyone was discussing passionately, only Qing Xuan was seated in a corner, not saying a word, his face was gloomy, as though he had something on his mind.


    As for Gu Jingrou, he returned to his seat in a sorry state. The atmosphere of the Divine Ranked Class Two had once again fallen into depression.


    This time, the Gu Jingrou who had the greatest hopes in their Divine Ranked Class Two was defeated, and in the hands of Xiao Muran at that. Now, they could only place all their hopes on Qin Zichen who was on the stage.


    Gu Jingrou curled his fingers tightly, looking at the situation of the battle nervously. However, Qin Zichen was obviously not Mu Lingxi''s match, and was played by him until he lost without any suspense.


    This also meant that, before the finals, their Divine Ranked Class Two had already been completely destroyed.


    Qin Zichen walked down the stage with his face covered in dirt and walked in front of Gu Jingrou. With his head lowered, he said with a bitter face: "Senior Sister Gu, I''m sorry.


    "Useless thing, get lost!" Gu Jingrou''s eyes were wide opened, he almost lost his image, causing the people beside him to jump out in shock.


    How did the gentle and generous Gu Jingrou turn into such a state? It was truly terrifying!


    "The last battle of the second round, Su Xiruo against Lin Yuan."


    The thing that Lin Yuan didn''t want to happen the most had happened in the end. Although he was a 9-star esper, for some reason, he still felt an inexplicable sense of fear towards Su Xiruo.


    "Lin Yuan, you just go!" Yun Lan encouraged him, "If you defeat Su Xiruo, that would be for the best. If you do not defeat him, in a while, I will naturally avenge you!"


    "Yes." Lin Yuan nodded and went up the stage.


    "Be careful." On the other side, Yun Qian''s tone of voice was very considerate as she warned Xiruo in all seriousness.


    However, Su Xiruo did not even put Lin Yuan in his eyes, and laughed: "Don''t worry, see how I''ll teach him a lesson!"


    With that, he tapped the tip of his foot and went straight up.


    He remembered that when he had just registered for the Academy, Su Xiruo had been ridiculed by this fellow, Lin Yuan.


    At that time, Su Xiruo had already made up his mind that one day, he would personally beat Lin Yuan to the ground and let him know that the position of Poison Sect''s Young Master was not sat on for no reason!


    "Su Xiruo." Lin Yuan stood a little closer to her, and lowered his voice: "At least we are the same kind of people, in a while, don''t be too heartless, it would be better to leave some leeway."


    "Who''s on the same side as you?" Su Xiruo frowned, as he detested people who approached him for no reason at all the most, "Lin Yuan, I told you this a long time ago, you would definitely become my defeated opponent one day! Didn''t you also want to prove yourself? Then today, we will depend on our own abilities! "


    With no results from persuading her, Lin Yuan became angry from the embarrassment and did not waste any more words with her. "Alright, since you insist on doing what you want, then I will not show mercy!"


    With that said, a wood attribute Spiritual Strength rose around Lin Yuan''s body. Although it looked gentle, it was actually incomparably berserk.

 C124

    Su Xiruo did not want to waste too much time in front of this guy, he just wanted to save some energy and deal with Yun Lan later.


    Therefore, she flew to Yun Lan''s back in a flash, causing the Can Meng to jump out from her sleeves and stabbed straight into Lin Yuan''s back, before he could even react, she had already sent him flying with a flying kick.


    Yun Lan watched closely as he made his move as fast as lightning, and even felt a bit of pressure in his heart.


    That kind of speed, was even comparable to Spirit Monarch, and this girl''s strength was extremely profound, she did not feel like she was fake at all. Seeing Lin Yuan slowly retreating, Su Xiruo''s every move was extremely tight, and he could not help but curl his finger and curse in a low voice, "Trash!"


    In Liang Si''s eyes, there was a sense of urgency. Su Xiruo was normally weak and delicate, but once she attacked, it was sharp and decisive, never delaying!


    Pow!


    Being forced into a corner, Lin Yuan wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, still a little unresigned. "Su Xi, you''re a Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master. If you didn''t use some medicine, how could you have defeated a Nine Star Heavenly Spirit Master?


    Su Xiruo raised her delicate eyebrows, and a golden palm landed on his body, sending him flying several meters away. She spoke lightly with a lazy tone: "Who told you that I am definitely a Seven Star Heavenly Spirit Master?"


    "You! "You won''t?" Lin Yuan''s eyes were wide opened, almost popping out of their sockets.


    Could it be that this girl had already become a Eight-star expert?


    Impossible, how is this possible! It''s only been three months, jumping two levels consecutively is too inconceivable!


    No, he could not be outdone by this girl, if not, not only would he lose face, if it was heard by the High Lord, he would be even more afraid that he was not as good as Su Xiruo!


    "Are you coming or not?" Seeing him not moving for a while, Su Xiruo was obviously annoyed.


    "You ¡­ Give me a moment to catch my breath. " Lin Yuan made a "stop" gesture, his tone slightly begging.


    Su Xiruo then stopped in his tracks, and decided to just stand there and wait, to give him a chance, that way, he would be extremely arrogant.


    Lin Yuan sneakily took out a Pills from his sleeves, pretended to cough and covered his face, then he secretly placed it into his mouth.


    No matter what, he couldn''t lose to Su Xiruo! No matter how much he had to pay, he couldn''t!


    After consuming the Pills, Lin Yuan immediately felt that the Spiritual Strength on his four limbs were filled up. Taking advantage that Su Xiruo was not paying attention, he quickly got up and struck with his palm.


    Su Xiruo returned to his senses and raised his hand to block, but unexpectedly, Lin Yuan''s palm strike contained such strong force that he was caught off guard and was able to push her back.


    What was going on? In just a moment of time, Lin Yuan seemed to have recovered all of his energy, and furthermore, the Spiritual Strength around his body actually became stronger!


    He must have used a poison that could temporarily increase the Spiritual Strength!


    This was the first reaction in Su Xiruo''s mind.


    "Su Xiruo, what''s wrong, weren''t you very strong just now?" Lin Yuan saw that she was startled, and raised his sword, starting to counterattack. His moves connected one after another until there was not a single drop of water left, and no one could see how much energy he had expended.


    On the other hand, Su Xiruo, who had just gained the upper hand and turned into a defensive state, was beginning to lose.


    "What''s going on?" Mu Lingxi watched from below the stage, as if he saw through some clues, "Lin Yuan seems to have instantly become stronger.


    "Something seems off!" Ye Zhuozhuo frowned, "This fellow Lin Yuan probably used a spirit medicine that can increase his Spiritual Strength! Brother, quickly expose this despicable fellow! "


    As for Yun Qian, he still had a face of indifference, as if he was not the least bit worried, "There''s no need for now. If it''s Xi Ruo, she can deal with him."


    "But, they''re at a disadvantage now." Nangong Yi saw all of this and kept it in his heart.


    Su Xiruo blocked Lin Yuan''s attack while trying to expose his weakness, and looking at her now, her face did not change, and she did not waste any of her strength.


    After three months of special training, her current physique was already much stronger than ordinary people. Even if she were to continue wasting four more hours with Lin Yuan, she would continue to use up energy!


    If that was the case, then she would have to use all of the energy in Lin Yuan''s body to make the pill disappear and he would show his true form in front of everyone!


    After a long while, Lin Yuan''s forehead started to perspire, but he was still not tired from looking at her. Although she had been at a disadvantage the entire time, her battle situation had stabilized, and he had no way to defeat her in one move.


    However, if this continued, the medicinal effects of his body would quickly disappear.


    "Su Xiruo, how long are you going to stay with me?" Finally, Lin Yuan could not resist opening his mouth, "If this continues, it will be disadvantageous for you. Have you not considered the battles that you will have to face in the future?"


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally: "You exposed your fox tail?"


    "What do you mean?" Lin Yuan purposely pretended ignorance.


    Su Xiruo did not bother about him, he felt that the effects of the poison in his body had almost been consumed, he immediately threw out ten hidden weapons, launching a surprise attack from behind, and instantly piercing into Lin Yuan''s vital points.


    At this time, Lin Yuan was also exhausted. Just as he came back to his senses, he was smacked by Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo flew down the stage, and looked down at Lin Yuan condescendingly, and said softly: "Lin Yuan, you should not, should not, and should not use poison in front of a Poison Master!"


    Lin Yuan''s finger bones tightened as he punched the ground, looking flustered.


    And just a moment ago, Lin Yuan''s extremely unstable Spiritual Strength attracted the attention of the Second Elder who was sitting on the stage. The Second Elder himself appeared in front of Lin Yuan.


    "How dare you. You dare to use such a despicable and shameless method in front of me!" Chu Yu exposed Lin Yuan''s little trick.


    "Second Elder, I do not!" Lin Yuan tried his best to argue for himself, but he looked weak, as though he was suffering from a backlash after the effects of the medicine had passed.


    "You still dare to quibble?" Towards such an action, Chu Yu definitely could not tolerate it, "Men, take down this rebel disciple who has violated the rules, cancel all the records of the inner competition, and then punish him with a whipping of one hundred!"


    Even as a Divine Ranked Class One teacher, Liang Si did not dare to make a single sound to plead for mercy.


    After all, this time, it was Lin Yuan who broke the rules, and after using the poison, he lost to Su Xiruo.


    Immediately, two Black Man s appeared in front of Lin Yuan and forcefully dragged him down.


    Following that, Chu Yu looked at Su Xiruo, and his tone became much gentler: "Little girl, you suffered a grievance just now, but the academy will definitely punish a renegade disciple like Lin Yuan, it won''t make you feel wronged for nothing!"


    This girl was from the Master Helian, he definitely could not treat her unfairly. Otherwise, he would have to bear the consequences himself.


    However, this girl was still too secretive, relying on her shocking stamina, she had actually expended Lin Yuan''s medicinal effects. It had to be said, the students that Helian Yunqian brought out were all monsters!


    "Second Elder is too serious." Su Xiruo was very polite, he just thanked her and returned to his seat, receiving a lot of looks of envy.


    "Xiruo, Lin Yuan is too despicable, he actually still wants to use spirit medicine after being unable to defeat him!" Ye Zhuozhuo thought about it and was extremely angry, "But you are really awesome, you can even survive this. If that Lin Yuan were to fall into your hands, then it can be considered a complete miscalculation!"


    After the second round ended, only Yun Lan remained of the Divine Ranked Class One. The other four people all had Heavenly Ranked Class Three!


    The pressure in Yun Lan''s heart was still quite great. He had originally thought that their Divine Ranked Class One were solid and that they would rarely slack off in their daily training, but today, they had actually lost at the hands of Heavenly Ranked Class Three!


    No, it wasn''t to the end yet, he had to save the last bit of face for the Divine Ranked Class One, and kill all these people under his control!


    Thus, the Second Elder began to announce the start of the third round of the competition: "The third round shall begin, none of you will enter a secret realm that this old man has set up." Thus, the Second Elder began to announce the competition for the third round of the competition: "The third round shall begin, none of you will enter a secret realm that this old man has set up.


    Then, the Second Elder added, "If you can''t hold on, you can open the exit and leave the secret realm. However, there are only three exits in this secret realm, and each exits will automatically be destroyed!"

 C125

    In other words, only three people would have the chance to leave the secret realm. Even if the remaining two wanted to go back on their words, they wouldn''t have the chance.


    "The last person to be eliminated from the secret realm will be the third person from the competition. After the third person leaves the secret realm, the remaining two people will have to decide who will be the victor within the secret realm!" After Chu Yu finished his brief introduction of the secret realm, he waved his sleeves and a blue and white halo of light floated out from the tall platform.


    Surrounding the halo, the flow of the Spiritual Strength was extremely rich, the five of them stood on the stage and could feel the crazy surge of the Spiritual Strength!


    There were three doors set up outside the circle of light. They should be the three entrances the Second Elder had mentioned!


    "Remember!" The Second Elder did not forget to remind him, "Only when there are only two people left in the secret realm can Spiritual Strength be used to attack each other. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the rules!"


    Speaking of which, it gave Yun Lan a peace of mind pill.


    Otherwise, if he went in later, he would have to fight against four people. Even if he wasn''t afraid of those four people, he would be exhausted to death!


    After listening to the instructions, the five of them entered the blue-white secret realm. As soon as they entered, they felt the difference between them and the outside world.


    In this secret realm, the pressure exerted by the Spiritual Strength was extremely great. It was as if a kind of overbearing suppression was pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.


    In addition, the frost blade was condensed to a temperature below freezing point, and it seemed to be able to drill into the bone marrow and invade every corner of the body. It was completely invisible and fatal for no reason!


    "Why is it so cold!" Mu Lingxi immediately pulled on his clothes tightly, but to no avail. That bone-piercing coldness, seemed to be able to freeze his blood.


    Yun Lan coldly snorted, seeing that the other side of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three was in a mess, he sat down and closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down and cultivate in order to divert his attention.


    "Everyone, don''t panic. Sit down and circulate your energy!" Qing Xuan spoke indifferently, her tone gentle.


    As a result, the five of them sat down cross-legged and resisted the Spiritual Strength''s pressure within the secret realm. Even so, the Spiritual Strength and the ice shards penetrated through the skin, into the blood, into the bone marrow, and into the organs!


    Suddenly, Mu Lingxi spat out a mouthful of blood, the extremely oppressive Spiritual Strength pressure made him unable to breathe, he only felt dizzy and his mind was blank, as though he was going to suffocate in the next second.


    He slowly stood up, and his legs became weak. He flew towards the exit, and with trembling hands, he opened the exit. He flew out, and the exit instantly turned into nothingness.


    "A Xi!" Seeing Mu Lingxi coming out, Ye Zhuozhuo hurried over and asked with concern, "How are you, are you alright?"


    Mu Lingxi shook his head and sighed. He probably hated himself for not being able to persevere for a little longer.


    Time flew by bit by bit. Two hours, four hours ¡­ The pressure exerted by the Spiritual Strength within the secret realm grew stronger and stronger, bit by bit, it was able to destroy and devour the consciousness.


    The sky had already darkened by quite a bit. Everyone quietly waited for the result.


    At this time, the other exit was broken, and Xiao Muran crawled out from it with his last breath of life, but the other exit was suddenly sealed off and turned into nothingness.


    He said lightly, "Quick..." Quickly go in and save them, Qing Xuan fainted! "


    However, inside the secret realm, he saw that Qing Xuan had already lost his consciousness and was in imminent danger, and in his heart, he felt that, of the three of them, Xi Xi was the one who had the highest possibility of defeating Yun Lan!


    Therefore, he chose to leave the secret plane first. This way, it would be much easier for everyone!


    Hearing that, Chu Yu immediately broke through the last exit, flying forward, bringing Qing Xuan out. At that moment, Qing Xuan had already lost his consciousness, his entire body was as hard as ice, his face ashen, as though if he was any later, his life would have been in danger.


    Many students were speechless. Their hearts were filled with dread and curiosity towards this terrifying and powerful secret realm. They also began to wonder who would be able to stay in this secret realm until the very last moment!


    "Master Helian." Su Biyue sat in place, with a worried look, "This secret realm is too terrifying. If Xi''er still hasn''t come out, I''m worried that something might happen to her!"


    "There''s no need to worry about being useless. Just watch." Yun Qian''s voice was light, and he did not even glance at her. His attention was focused on the secret realm, even though his heart was already sweating.


    But luckily, it was almost over. Once Qing Xuan came out, there were only two people left in the secret realm, Xi Ruo and Yun Lan.


    Su Biyue let out a helpless sigh. He was a little disappointed, but he did not dare say much as he obediently shut his mouth. In his heart, he hoped that Su Xiruo would defeat him.


    In the secret realm, Su Xiruo and Yun Lan''s bodies were covered in ice. They suddenly opened their eyes, and there were only these two people left!


    "Su Xiruo!" Yun Lan curled his fingers tightly and slowly stood up, "I never thought that in the end, my opponent would be you!"


    But thinking about it carefully, in the entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three, only Su Xiruo was worthy to be his opponent.


    Su Xiruo slowly got up, and her cold voice sounded out: "Why do you look like you''re disappointed?"


    "Heh, just as I expected, there won''t be any more surprises!" Yun Lan''s tone was extremely arrogant, "Everything that follows will be as I expected, and in the end, you will lose miserably at my hands!"


    Su Xiruo laughed out loud, the Can Meng was already in his hands, the golden Spiritual Strength was slowly fluctuating, as though it was unable to hold back any longer.


    She seemed to be warning Yun Lan that saying all this was useless. It would be better to make a move quickly so that it could end soon!


    Yun Lan did not waste time talking to her. The Spiritual Strength in his body circulated rapidly, condensing into a huge fireball in the air.


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change, but the yang attribute Spiritual Strength gushed out and wrapped around the Can Meng, cutting through the approaching fireball.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    Suddenly, there was a loud sound, and the fireball seemed to explode. It flew in all directions and collided with the walls of the secret realm, turning into many sharp concealed weapons.


    In the end, it was condensed by Yun Lan''s Spiritual Strength and flew towards Su Xiruo''s face.


    Su Xiruo hurriedly retreated, raised his hand, and a suction force sucked the ice from the four walls up. The Spiritual Strength poured in and condensed into a streak of hard ice Barrier like flint!


    Numerous fireballs clashed against each other, instantly dissolving the Barrier into pieces. Caught off guard, Su Xiruo was struck by the fireball on his arm.


    Yun Lan took the opportunity to give chase, taking out his blade from the scabbard and using the remaining warmth to attack Su Xiruo''s chest.


    Su Xiruo used his Can Meng to block his blade, but he did not have enough strength.


    The secret realm was a white and blue transparent. Even though the sky was already dark, the students outside could still see the battle inside clearly. They were all confident that Yun Lan had won!


    In terms of strength, in terms of endurance and strength, Su Xiruo was far inferior to Yun Lan. With Yun Lan''s strength, even if he did not enter the top three in the competition, he could still enter the Senior Class in half a year''s time!


    Before Su Xiruo could stand up, Yun Lan had already appeared behind her. A berserk palm wind attacked her, not giving her the slightest chance to catch her breath.


    Su Xiruo''s palm hastily formed a seal, and with a palm strike, it shattered the ice pillar beside him. In an instant, the shattered ice scattered everywhere, and Yun Lan''s vision became blurry as he took the opportunity to leave this dangerous location, changing his direction, he took out a few concealed weapons, and aimed them at Yun Lan''s back, and struck one of them!


    "Damn it!" Yun Lan was flustered and exasperated. He waved his hand and the ice cube in front of him dissipated, but Su Xiruo''s figure still could not be seen.


    At this time, Su Xiruo was hiding behind an ice pillar, slightly gasping for breath. He never expected that Yun Lan''s attack would be so strong, without any fancy moves, but it was extremely tight, every move was fatal, and did not leave a single flaw!


    No wonder everyone said that although Yun Lan only had a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, his current strength was already enough for him to challenge the Spirit Monarch!


    If he fought him head on, there would be no end to it. He could only take advantage of the situation and make use of his advantage. Only then would he have a slim chance of winning.


    Furthermore, the most important thing was that Yun Lan had not used his Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill yet, and he still had his trump card!

 C126

    Yun Lan held onto the blade tightly, standing at the same place, he calmed his heart, and carefully sensed the surrounding movements, suddenly, behind one of the ice pillars, he sensed a slight sound of breathing.


    As a result, he waved the blade in his hand, and a Sword Qi cut the ice pillar in half. In the next second, a petite and light figure flashed past his eyes, and before he could even react, Su Xiruo had already launched a sneak attack on his back.


    Yun Lan was infuriated, he turned and brandished his sword, releasing a powerful force that struck straight at his face, but Su Xiruo had already expected it to happen, and avoided Yun Lan''s attack in advance.


    After that, Su Xiruo tried his best to avoid having a head-on confrontation with him. Every time, he would come out from a corner and launch a sneak attack, catching Yun Lan off guard.


    "Heh, little girl, at least you have some ability!" Yun Lan curled his fingers tightly, and was unwilling to continue playing with her, "I originally thought that if I couldn''t use the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, it would be enough to deal with you.


    Finished speaking, his eyes seemed to be wrapped in flames, the fire attribute Spiritual Strength around his body continued to climb, the powerful pressure caused even Su Xiruo to be unable to breath!


    "Yun Lan is going to use the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill!" Sitting outside on the seats, Gu Jingrou felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.


    He never thought that this girl would actually be able to force Yun Lan to use the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill so quickly.


    You have to know, with Yun Lan''s strength, even if he were to use his Senior Class, he would still be able to fight! But now, against this girl, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose!


    Knowing that Yun Lan was going to use Spiritual Skill, Su Xiruo was not willing to fall behind. The golden Spiritual Strength circled around her fingertip, even though it was just a thin layer of golden light, it could make people feel fear.


    The two groups of Spiritual Strength were comparable to each other, and the students sitting outside could feel the pressure of the Spiritual Strength and knew that the two of them were serious.


    of low level Heavenly Ranked, Flame Breaking Slash! Yun Lan had finally used the Spiritual Skill!


    The Spiritual Strength around Su Xiruo also continued to rise, a suffocating pressure that caused the students to be speechless!


    "Su Xiruo, she actually used the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill!"


    In the next second, the two powerful Spiritual Strength collided with each other, and a loud sound rang out. The blue and white colored secret realm shook for a moment, as if it was going to shatter!


    If there were no Second Elder protecting them, just with these two Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill s, they could flatten the entire Mercenary Academy!


    Afterwards, the secret realm sunk into chaos, and their line of sight blurred as ice ice splashed in all directions. Yun Lan and Su Xiruo''s bodies were respectively attacked by the Spiritual Skill and flew out, both of them heavily injured.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, he felt as though his internal organs had been struck, as though they were about to shatter, and his head was in a daze.


    She gritted her teeth and slowly got up from the ground. Looking at Yun Lan who was still in place, she calmly spoke: "You''ve lost!"


    Yun Lan scoffed coldly, yet he didn''t have the slightest intention to admit defeat: "Su Xiruo, you''re celebrating too early!"


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo felt the Spiritual Strength around him changing, as though it was growing exponentially, becoming as though it was about to break through!


    Yun Lan, he, couldn''t be planning to advance his Spirit Monarch, right?


    Not only Su Xiruo, all the students looked at this unbelievable scene with widened eyes.


    Even though there was only a difference of one rank between nine star Heavenly Spirit Master and one star Spirit Monarch, the difference in strength could be described with the difference of heaven and earth. Under normal circumstances, even if two or nine star Heavenly Spirit Master worked together, it would still be impossible for one to be a match for one star Spirit Monarch!


    As for Su Xiruo, who had just advanced in Eight-star, to deal with a single Spirit Monarch was even harder than ascending to the heavens!


    "Yun Lan is about to level up, the situation is not good for Xiruo!" Mu Lingxi looked at the situation within the secret realm, his heart burning with anxiety.


    Even Yun Qian''s face changed, his fingers slightly curled up. He was sweating in his heart, as if he was going to save her at any time.


    If this Yun Lan hated Xi Xi Yue down to the bone, he would have already killed her. This was a good opportunity, Yun Lan would not let it go so easily!


    However, as long as he was here, no one would be able to harm a single hair on Xi Ri''s head!


    Su Xiruo looked at the Spiritual Strength around Yun Lan''s body continuously rising, and felt that he was probably going to advance into his Spirit Monarch soon, and was a little unsure in his heart.


    Suddenly, Yun Lan rushed forward, with lightning speed, he grabbed her neck, and in that moment, Su Xiruo felt that he was about to suffocate.


    This Yun Lan, he wants his life!


    "Master Helian, Xiruo is in danger!" Nangong Yi could not help but say, "Yun Lan wanted to kill her!"


    Su Xiruo opened her eyes with much difficulty and took deep breaths. She knew that if Yun Lan really succeeded in leveling up to the Spirit Monarch in just a short while, she would definitely lose if she got seriously injured!


    Since he wanted to kill her, no matter what, even if she had to use the most brutal of methods, she would defend herself and repay him!


    To her, the strongest way now was to stop Yun Lan from levelling up. Since the inner competition didn''t have this rule, she couldn''t stop the enemy from levelling up!


    As a result, Su Xiruo clenched her fists and secretly activated the purplish black Spiritual Strength.


    As matters stood, in order to preserve her life, she could only use the Spiritual Skill that her father had taught her to deal with him!


    In the next second, just as Yun Qian was about to make a move and save her, he was caught off guard. Su Xiruo''s fingers poked at the bottom of Yun Lan''s throat, and instantly, a sharp pain hit him.


    What was going on?


    Yun Lan''s mind was blank, the strength in his palms had also instantly relaxed.


    Su Xiruo seized the chance and poured all the condensed Spiritual Strength into the Can Meng, and stabbed it into Yun Lan''s chest. In that moment, Yun Lan couldn''t bear the powerful impact and was knocked flying, at the moment he landed, his four limbs seemed to have lost all their strength, and he was no longer able to move.


    "You ¡­" Yun Lan struggled to get up from the ground to pick up his weapon. When Su Xiruo stepped on his finger bones, cracking sounds of bones could be heard!


    Yun Lan looked at Su Xiruo with a slightly frightened expression and said with a trembling voice, "You just ¡­ What Spiritual Skill did you use? "


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally: "You don''t need to know what Spiritual Skill I use, all you need to know is that you have already lost!"


    The Exquisite Jade Finger that her father had taught her, although it was only a high level Profound Rank Spiritual Skill, had a poison attribute to it. She could only think of a way to close in and think of a way to use it to poke a designated acupoint, to instantly destroy the opponent''s Spiritual Strength surge!


    If it was any ordinary person, interrupting the movement of the Spiritual Strength would actually not hurt much. At most, Su Xiruo would have been able to escape for a moment.


    But this time was different. Yun Lan was in the midst of advancing, and if he were to interrupt him at this time, he could directly stop him from advancing his Spirit Monarch, and could even heavily injure his vitality!


    Su Xiruo never thought that the Spiritual Skill of escape that he had always thought was useless would actually come in handy today!


    "Su Xiruo!" Yun Lan roared, as though he wanted to cut the girl in front of him into a thousand pieces.


    But at this time, the secret realm had already disappeared, and the Second Elder had announced the results of the competition: "Su Xiruo wins!"


    An unending stream of cheers came from the side of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three.


    When these two words landed in Xi Ruo''s heart, it made her feel extremely excited.


    This competition could be considered a good start. In half a year, she would definitely obtain the top spot!


    Su Xiruo turned around. At this moment, Yun Qian had already appeared beside him and the people from Heavenly Ranked Class Three were all standing behind him.


    "Xiruo, well done!"


    "Second Elder!" Yun Lan struggled, wanting to help her speak up, "Su Xiruo broke the rules ¡­ Second Elder, please punish her severely! "


    Su Xiruo scoffed, then asked: "When did I break the rules?"


    "You interrupted my advancement in a malicious manner. Is that not a violation of the rules?" Yun Lan was flustered and exasperated, he punched the ground, "Second Clan Elder, this girl used despicable methods to stop me from levelling up, so I won.


    Ye Zhuozhuo suddenly felt that it was unfair: "You just wanted to kill Xi Ruo, Xi Ruo is only protecting herself, it''s not a violation of the rules!"

 C127

    Su Xiruo on the other hand, looked as if he did not care. "Yun Lan, there has never been a rule for this inner competition before, I cannot interrupt the enemy''s advance, if I do that, it can''t be considered a violation of the rules right?"


    At this time, Chu Yu had also come forward, so he asked: "Second Elder, everything is up to you!"


    Yun Lan looked at Chu Yu with anticipation: "Second Elder, you must avenge me!"


    Chu Yu slightly frowned, as if he was in a difficult situation, "But, this ¡­ There are indeed no rules. Interrupting the enemy''s advancement is a violation of the rules.


    Although he felt that there was something wrong, Chu Yu himself was unable to find anything wrong.


    "Second Elder." At the right time, Yun Qian finally spoke, "Since the academy does not have such a rule, then why don''t we hurry up and announce the results?"


    His voice wasn''t loud, but it was calm and powerful. It carried a faint sense of oppression.


    "Yes, yes!" He naturally had to listen to the words of the Master Helian, and Su Xiruo was not in the wrong for this matter, so he could not find any reason to blame Su Xiruo.


    Therefore, Chu Yu announced the results loudly: "I declare, this time''s first place of the Divine Ranked Class competition, Su Xiruo! Yun Lan and Qing Xuan, got second and third place respectively! "


    "Damn it!" Yun Lan''s fingers curled tightly, he was about to collapse and crazily punched the ground.


    Although the top three could be guaranteed to enter Senior Class, the first place would still receive an additional reward. Unfortunately, he gave it to that girl, Su Xiruo!


    Following that, Chu Yu continued to speak: "The first winner will have a chance to enter the Book Pavilion''s upper levels!"


    Upon hearing this, all the students revealed looks of envy.


    Above the Book Pavilion, only students with high level Divine Ranked Class could freely enter, the higher levels were all in terms of high level technique and medical skills, as for the Spiritual Skill, there were no lower levels than the Heavenly Ranked!


    No one would not be envious of such an honor that even students with high level Heavenly Ranked Class do not have!


    "Xi Ruo, congratulations." Su Biyue faintly smiled at her, revealing a sincere smile.


    Su Xiruo replied with a smile. It seemed like Su Biyue wasn''t as repulsed in the beginning.


    From the looks of it, Su Biyue wasn''t that bad of a woman, she was just being selfish. As long as she didn''t do anything to hurt him, there was no need for him to keep rejecting her.


    And in this competition, everyone remembered the name "Su Xiruo". With the strength of his Eight-star, he had won against Yun Lan, this quasi-Spirit Monarch!


    During the night, Yun Qian squatted beside the bed and carefully treated the wound on Xiruo''s arm. Since he wasn''t a doctor, he didn''t have much experience.


    "Hiss ~ pain!" Su Xiruo lightly pulled back his arm, looked at the "tragic and unsightly" bandage, and said, "Why don''t you let Sparks treat my wound?"


    This guy did not know the importance of this at all!


    "I''ll be gentler." He still wanted to do it himself.


    "Are you trying to torture me?"


    Yun Qian paused for a moment before replying innocently, "No!"


    Ah!


    In the next second, Su Xiruo was startled by his movements, and pushed his hand away: "I think I should do it myself!"


    This Yun Qian fellow, his punching skills were quite impressive. The time he had taken to save a life was not something to be complimented on. If he allowed him to suffer a little longer, he would probably lose his life.


    Yun Qian could only obediently squat to the side, watching Su Xiruo skillfully bandage his wound, he sighed helplessly.


    He had been despised by his wife. It seemed that he had to go and study medicine some other day.


    Not long later, Su Xiruo finished treating his own wounds and heaved a sigh of relief.


    "You suffered internal injuries today, are you alright?" Yun Qian asked with concern.


    "He should be able to recover within two days." Su Xiruo said casually, as if he did not care about this little bit of internal injury.


    "Within two days?" Yun Qian was in disbelief.


    However, this girl''s internal injuries should be very serious.


    Even if he submitted to the Healing Drug, from his point of view, it would take at least half a month to completely recover.


    Su Xiruo smiled back, and nodded slightly, but did not explain anything.


    She did not know why, but her physique was special. Not only was she immune to poisons, if she was seriously injured, she could quickly heal herself even without using any Healing Drug!


    Before Yun Qian could even speak, Su Xiruo had already changed the topic, "Alright, I''ll go check on Yan Xi and the others'' injuries. I''m afraid there''s too much work to do."


    With that, Su Xiruo got up and pushed the door open, and went to the other room. At the moment, Ye Zhuozhuo was treating Bai Yanxi''s injuries, and her face looked extremely exhausted.


    "Let me do it." Su Xiruo indifferently said, and let Ye Zhuozhuo retreat first. A wave of purplish black Spiritual Strength condensed in his palm.


    As Ye Zhuozhuo watched, the purplish black Spiritual Strength touched the wounds on Bai Yanxi''s body and immediately stopped bleeding. He could not help but bite his lips: "Ruo Ruo, are you really ¡­"


    She had never thought that, if it was really the Poison Master, and from the looks of it, its level was not low either.


    But why did she not dare to reveal her identity as a Poison Master ever since she entered the academy?


    "Yes." Su Xiruo only replied with this one word, he did not deny it nor did he explain anything.


    After that, Ye Zhuozhuo did not ask anymore. In his heart, he felt that if there was anything that was difficult to say, and if she was unwilling to say, then there was no need for him to ask.


    She stood to the side, watching Ruo Ruo''s healing technique. Her emotions were more or less complicated.


    It was obvious that if a person could assume the role of a doctor with Heavenly Ranked Class Three, but still had to pull him along when doing a mission, then what was the meaning of his existence?


    Seeing her in a daze, Su Xiruo turned his head and warned: "Go and rest first. Girl, you''ve been busy the whole night."


    "Alright." Ye Zhuozhuo knew that if she were to worry about him, she wouldn''t be able to help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, which was why she turned around and left the room.


    Three days passed quickly, the internal injuries on Su Xiruo''s body truly healed up to a certain extent, as though nothing had happened.


    The most unwilling was Yun Lan, because he felt that his luck was not good, and that he had lost to Su Xiruo. He also secretly swore in his heart, that if he managed to get the chance, he would take back one more city!


    This evening, Yun Qian stepped into the main hall of the Pear Garden. Originally, he had come to look for Xiruo, but the moment he entered, he discovered that the atmosphere of the inner hall was a little strange.


    Therefore, he subconsciously planned to turn around and leave, but was spotted by Xiao Muran: "Master Helian, it''s good that you''re here. I was about to go call for you, hurry up and sit down to accompany us to have a drink!"


    Yun Qian knit her brows, the corners of her lips curled up as she rejected in an indifferent tone, "I don''t drink alcohol."


    After hearing what he said, Mu Lingxi could not help but reveal everything, "Yun Qian, even if you want to reject us, you must at least find a more reasonable excuse!"


    This fellow clearly drank more than ten cups of wine, but he actually shamelessly said that he didn''t drink alcohol. Wasn''t he afraid of being struck by lightning?


    "Master Helian." Bai Yanxi also tried to persuade her, "You can''t be too biased, you are only giving Xi Ruo face, why don''t you give us face?"


    Yun Qian didn''t say anything more. With light steps, Yun Li sat down next to Xi Ruo. He then took Yu Wei who was in front of her and said, "Your injuries have not healed yet. You are not allowed to drink alcohol."


    "I ¡­" Su Xiruo wanted to say that his injuries had completely healed, but he didn''t give himself the chance.


    "Master Helian." Xiao Muran was the first to speak, "Today, I should toast you. If it wasn''t for your nurturing, I would not have been able to stand up in the competition and defeat Gu Jingrou in one fell swoop!"


    It was the first time he spoke in such a serious tone, and the moment he thought about Gu Jingrou losing at his hands, he felt incomparably joyful!


    At this time, Bai Yanxi also spoke up, "Master Helian, I should thank you too. You didn''t think that my Refinery is lacking, and yet you are willing to teach me yourself!"


    Yun Qian was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything. He downed another cup of wine, his expression as calm as ever.


    Following that, the other students followed suit and jeered, and the atmosphere in the hall was filled with cheers. Only Qing Xuan sat in the corner alone, drinking wine alone without saying a word.

 C128

    Seeing that his own husband was drinking cup by cup, Su Xiruo could not help but mutter: "Yun Qian, you came at just the right time."


    However, when she saw that Mu Lingxi and the others were already so drunk that they had lost consciousness, and then looked at Yun Qian, whose expression still did not change, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    "I''m here to see you." Yun Qian looked at her and spoke calmly.


    "Did you come to find me for something?" Seeing that his expression was slightly heavy, Su Xiruo immediately had a bad premonition.


    After a while, Yun Qian replied, "I''ve come to tell you about my trip back to the Dragon''s Seal City."


    Immediately, Su Xiruo''s mind went blank, and he thought of many things that didn''t go his way. "What are you going back to the Dragon''s Seal City for, could it be ¡­ Was it Mu Lingyi who called you back? "


    "No." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as he explained, "I was just returning to the General''S Estate to retrieve something. I also wanted to take a look at the situation in the capital. I''ll be back within a day."


    Su Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, can''t this guy finish his words in one go?


    She had thought that something important had happened.


    "Then, be careful." Therefore, Su Xiruo did not say much and asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow morning?"


    "Tonight." After Yun Qian said this, he slowly stood up and glanced at the group of people who had already become unconscious from the alcohol. He helplessly sighed and said to Xi Ruo, "I have to leave first. You guys can slowly chat."


    "Yes." It was only then that Su Xiruo remembered that Yun Qian''s Wind Control Arts would be back to the capital in an hour.


    At this time, Su Biyue, who had been hiding in a corner without speaking a word, also slowly stood up and took advantage of the chaos in the hall to go out as well. He thought that no one had noticed her, but this scene, was still caught in Su Xiruo''s eyes.


    Why is this Su Biyue always so weird today?


    Su Biyue hurriedly left the inner hall, caught up to Yun Qian''s back, and loudly said: "Master Helian, please wait!"


    Helian Yunqian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, his expression unchanging.


    "Master Helian, why don''t you stay here for a while longer?" Su Biyue asked with a smile on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart.


    "I have something to attend to, so I won''t accompany you for now." His tone was indifferent and distant.


    Su Biyue took a step forward, as though she still had something she wanted to say to him: "Just now, there were a lot of people, and I haven''t said a single word to you. I''m a little regretful, I wanted you to know what I think!"


    She probably felt that she should muster the courage to speak out her inner thoughts. Otherwise, Master Helian might never understand her feelings.


    "Go ahead."


    "Master Helian." Su Biyue looked at him in the eyes, and said with a sincere tone, "Actually, I am also very grateful to you for saving me from Gu Jingrou''s hands."


    Yun Qian interrupted her with a bland voice, "It''s just a favor, there''s no need to worry."


    "But I always remember!" Su Biyue still did not give up, "Not only that, even after I met you once in the palace during a banquet three years ago in the Dragon''s Seal City, I have never once wavered my resolve. Master Helian, if you can make me stay by your side, even if it''s nameless and flawless, as long as you are willing to let me stay, I can accompany you for your entire life!"


    After saying these words, Su Biyue''s heart was incomparably nervous, as he waited for Yun Qian''s response.


    Yun Qian''s calm face did not show any emotions. "I already have a wife, so I am not under the influence of Second Miss Su."


    His tone was decisive, without any hesitation.


    Being ruthlessly rejected like that, Su Biyue''s heart was in a mess. While holding back the tears that were rolling in his eyes, he begged her, "Even if I have to be by your side, as your servant, it''s still fine. Master Helian, my sincerity, do you really want to trample on me like this?"


    After she finished speaking, she grabbed onto Yun Qian''s sleeve, trying to get a bit of sympathy. But who knew that in the next second, Yun Qian would shake off Su Biyue''s hand like lightning, her eyebrows knitted together, and her face revealed a little disgust.


    "Scram!"


    He spat out a word that was as cold as ice.


    Finally, Su Biyue''s tears came out, as if she was feeling delicate and touching.


    Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps from behind, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Su Xiruo, so she intentionally dropped to the ground and sat next to Yun Qian, raising her voice, with a wronged tone:


    "Master Helian, I know that you can''t let go of Xiruo in your heart, that''s why you said that, no problem, just treat it as if I never said anything just now. It''s my fault, even though I know that Sister Cyril likes you, I still ¡­"


    These words sounded as if she had many emotional entanglements with Yun Qian.


    "Su Biyue!" In the nick of time, Su Xiruo''s cold tone interrupted Su Biyue''s self-directed play.


    Su Biyue turned around and looked at Su Xiruo with tears all over his face. He even explained to her on purpose: "Sister Cyril, it''s not what you think. This matter has nothing to do with Master Helian.


    "Shut up!" Yun Qian couldn''t bear to listen any longer and interrupted her. At this moment, he was most worried that he had been misunderstood by Xiruo, "Xiruo, don''t misunderstand, I ¡­"


    "Pah!"


    Su Xiruo did not reply, but instead stepped forward and slapped Su Biyue. Su Biyue covered her red and swollen face, as she said in an extremely aggrieved manner, "Sister Cyril, I have let you down."


    She pretended to be weak and wanted to get some sympathy from Yun Qian. However, she did not know that Yun Qian did not put her in his eyes at all and did not even look at her.


    "Heh, you''re too polite." Su Xiruo snorted, "If you had the ability to snatch him away from me, it would be reasonable for you to apologize to me. But now, in my opinion, you don''t seem to have the ability.


    Her words completely shattered Su Biyue''s self-esteem. Her fingers curled tight, and she was obviously a little unwilling: "It''s not what you think. I''m sincere towards Master Helian.


    "Of course not." Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, he did not even put her in his eyes, "I just wanted to remind you that you don''t want to touch something that doesn''t belong to you. Otherwise, you might have to pay the price!"


    Hearing her cold tone, Su Biyue knew that it would be useless no matter how weak he was right now, because a cold-blooded woman like Su Xiruo would never have sympathy for someone!


    Su Biyue lowered his head. At this moment, he couldn''t wait to find a hole to hide in and steal a glance at Helian Yunqian. In his eyes, there was only indifference.


    Therefore, Su Biyue could only get up and leave the place in a hurry, in order to preserve his remaining dignity.


    "Xiruo." From start to finish, Yun Qian did not even glance at Su Biyue. At the moment, what he was most worried about was still Xi Ruo''s feelings, "You can''t believe what that woman just said. I have never known her."


    "You don''t need to say it, I believe you." Su Xiruo''s tone suddenly became a lot more gentle. With Yun Qian''s personality, even if he had met Yue Yang a few times, he probably wouldn''t have much of an impression of him.


    Then, Su Xiruo changed the topic. "You can return to the Dragon''s Seal without worry. There''s no need to bother with this matter."


    In her heart, she did not put Su Biyue in her eyes at all. She knew in her heart that her own man would not be easily taken away by others.


    Therefore, no matter what Su Biyue did, she just wanted to snatch it away.


    "Yes." Yun Qian obviously did not care too much about this matter. He urged her indifferently, "Rest early." He then turned into a blur and disappeared into the night sky.


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones tightened into a ball as he glanced in the direction that Su Biyue had just left in.


    She said, why did Su Biyue keep trying to get close to her? Turns out that the person she wanted to get close to wasn''t her, but Yun Qian!


    However, as long as she was here, Su Biyue would definitely not care about her! Su Biyue would not let it go so easily. Then, she would keep him company until the end!

 C129

    Early morning of the second day, Su Biyue woke up early and saw that all the students were in the inner hall planning to go out together.


    Thus, she slowly walked to Su Xiruo''s side, deliberately raised her voice a little, so that the people beside her could hear: "Xiruo, what happened last night, was my mistake. I apologize to you!"


    The person at the side was completely shocked, he did not know what exactly happened, "Su Biyue, what did you do?"


    Su Xiruo glanced at her with a cold face: "You don''t need to apologize to me.


    After that, Su Biyue directly knelt in front of Su Xiruo, his eyes completely red, he started to feign pity: "Sister Cyril, please forgive me, yes, I did know Master Helian before you, and admired him. From the beginning to the end, my feelings for him have never changed, but, I do not know when, but you have always been so close to him.


    She purposely fanned the flames, causing everyone to mistake Su Xiruo for stealing away Su Biyue''s love.


    "Is there such a thing?" Nangong Yi was shocked, "It sounds very complicated!"


    Seeing that his words were somewhat effective, Su Biyue continued: "Sister Cyril, you stole the person I love the most, I don''t blame you, but are you so intolerant of me? Even if I had just a little thought about Master Helian, would it be enough? I didn''t do anything to let you down! "


    Saying that, she started to cry sorrowfully. If someone who didn''t know anything, they would really think that Su Biyue was the victim. And Su Xiruo was the unforgivable person!


    "Su Biyue, I beg of you, shut up!" Su Xiruo interrupted her with cold words, "Don''t make your wishful thinking sound so great, my husband has never provoked you before, if you continue to speak nonsense, I will cut off your tongue for you!"


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo turned around and walked out. When he was at the door, he reminded her: "That''s right, if you really like my husband, then why do you have to apologize to me? "You just have to snatch it. If you really can get it, then that''s your ability!"


    Throwing that sentence down, Su Xiruo left without turning back.


    Su Biyue''s finger bones were tightly curled. Being humiliated by Su Xiruo in front of everyone, he felt very uncomfortable, so he turned around and said to Bai Yanxi: "Yan Xi, believe me, I really don''t have any presumptuous thoughts. It''s Sister Cyril who misunderstood me."


    Bai Yanxi slightly nodded his head: "Mn, I know, but since you do not have any ulterior motives, it is better not to say anything that would cause misunderstandings. Furthermore, it is better not to do something that would cause misunderstandings, otherwise, it would be very easy to fake it!"


    She thought, if Xi Yue did not wrongly accuse people for no reason, then since she warned Su Biyue just now, then there must be something wrong with Su Biyue''s actions.


    "Yan Xi, that''s not what I meant ¡­" Su Biyue wanted to explain himself, but was interrupted by Mu Lingxi.


    "Alright, Su Biyue, stop feigning pain!" When Mu Lingxi heard her voice, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, "What kind of person are you? Be obedient, don''t always go and destroy others! "


    After that, Xiao Muran also added on: "Su Biyue, I think it''s better for you to be a little more obedient. After all, Master Helian and Xiruo are already together, if you were to interfere in this matter, it would be too heartless and unjust. As for the past, just bury it in your heart.


    Seeing that they were defending Su Xiruo and secretly attacking him, Su Biyue''s hatred for them deepened, as he lowered his head and said slowly: "I understand." He then turned around and left the main hall.


    It looked like he simply had no way to get the sympathy of any of them; after all, their hearts were all aligned with Su Xiruo!


    However, she would not give up just like that. Since Heavenly Ranked Class Three people were all so heartless, then she did not need to pay sincerely!


    Su Xiruo came to the Book Pavilion alone. Previously, after obtaining first place in the inner sect competition, the Principal had promised her that she would be able to obtain one chance to enter the upper levels of the Book Pavilion.


    The top level of the Book Pavilion were all precious scrolls, and any scrolls that were casually given to him was a priceless treasure that had no market!


    Within the Book Pavilion, the Second Elder opened the Barrier that lead to the second floor for Su Xiruo, and said amiably: "Go up, remember, you only have half an hour''s time. As for what kind of scroll you choose, you can have the authority to keep it a secret from anyone."


    "Thank you, Second Elder." After thanking him, Su Xiruo took the lead and entered the upper level. The upper level did not look too different from the lower level, and all types of scrolls were arranged neatly, with no end in sight.


    She slowly paced about the Book Pavilion, purposely avoiding looking for the Toxicology technique.


    Normally, when she was training in the Poison Sect, she would only train in both the Spiritual Strength and the Toxicology and would rarely leave the Toxicology behind alone.


    But since, after all, he was a person of the Poison Sect and his identity as a Poison Master could not be exposed, there were naturally less chances for him to cultivate.


    Suddenly, her gaze landed on a golden ancient book. The words written on the book were "Poison Book". In her mind, she had a few impressions of it.


    This Poison Book, she had heard her father mention before, it was a scripture left behind by a poison master. That person did not belong to Poison Sect, and compared to the methods used in Poison Sect, his methods in using poison hands were also very different.


    Su Xiruo extended his hand, just as he was about to touch the Poison Book, he suddenly saw a layer of faint Barrier wrapped around the outside of the Poison Book.


    Most of the scrolls in the upper levels of the Book Pavilion did not have Barrier s, so scrolls with Barrier s were usually very rare.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo gently formed a seal on his palm, tested the Barrier, and in the end, the Barrier did not even budge an inch, it seemed, it was not that easy to deal with!


    Just as Su Xiruo was about to try again, with a burst of energy, he heard a sound. The Barrier was opened by a light Spiritual Strength.


    He then passed the Poison Book down to Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo turned around and saw that the man was dressed in blue brocade clothes, his figure was tall and big, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he was extremely handsome.


    "Thank you very much." Su Xiruo did not stand on ceremony with him, took the Poison Book, and planned to turn and leave.


    "You are Su Xiruo from the Elementary Class?" The man asked curiously, and stopped Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo stopped and did not deny it: "That''s right."


    Speaking to him with such a tone, could it be that this man was from Senior Class?


    Could it be that I''m already famous in this academy? Even students with Senior Class can recognize me?


    The man didn''t deny it and said in a polite tone, "I''ve heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, it''s different from what I imagined."


    "May I ask your name?" Su Xiruo was curious about him.


    "I am Shen Shangjing." The man laughed and said his name, but Su Xiruo was surprised for a moment.


    The high ranking Divine Ranked Class student, Shen Shangjing, was also the only son of the Mercenary Academy Second Elder. Not only was his character noble and pure, at his age of less than twenty, he already had the strength of a five star Spirit Monarch.


    With such talent, he could be called a genius!


    As a result, on the first day that she had entered the Academy, she had already started hearing about Shen Shangjing''s name.


    "So it''s senior brother Shen. It''s been a long time." Su Xiruo''s tone was indifferent. Even when facing such an expert, he did not cower in the slightest.


    "You''re welcome." Shen Shangjing said in an amiable tone, "Can you give me the first scroll in the second row behind you?"


    Su Xiruo did not refuse, and turned around to take out the scroll Shen Shangjing requested, and pass it to him. Before he even had the chance to say anything, a sharp female voice broke the peaceful atmosphere.


    "Sang Jing!"

 C130

    Su Xiruo turned around. It was an arrogant woman in red who had dodged the scroll in his hand and pulled Shen Shangjing over to her side. She stared at Su Xiruo with a gaze filled with hatred and vigilance.


    "Who are you?" The lady stared at Su Xiruo arrogantly, as though in the next second, the surrounding Evil Qi was engulfing Su Xiruo, "Why do you have to be so close to my fiance?"


    Yet another Spirit Monarch expert!


    Su Xiruo instantly felt the Spiritual Strength''s pressure from the woman''s body, but after some thought, he guessed that those who could enter the upper levels of Book Pavilion were mostly Senior Class''s students.


    "Senior Sister, I think you''ve misunderstood." Su Xiruo said casually, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, "I just happened to meet Senior Brother Shen by chance, I really can''t be considered close to you."


    "Heh." The woman sized her up, "A person with a low Heavenly Spirit Master can actually enter the upper echelons of the Book Pavilion?"


    At this time, she suddenly thought of something. "Could it be, you are Su Xiruo from the low level class?"


    This time, Su Xiruo had obtained first place in the competition of low level Divine Ranked Class, which could be considered to have made the entire academy remember her name, so much that even the students of Senior Class had heard of her.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo only replied with one word.


    "I was wondering who dared to be so arrogant. So it''s you." The woman sneered coldly, unwilling to let him go.


    This Su Xiruo, when she was talking to him, she actually dared to look straight into his eyes.


    "Alright, Jin Se." At this moment, Shen Shangjing held onto her arm and softly consoled her, "I was the one who took the initiative to converse with Junior Sister Xiruo. You misunderstand."


    "Shangjing." Facing Shen Shangjing, the voice of the girl called Jin Se became pouted, "I''ve been looking for you for a long time, I never expected you to meet other girls here, do you not care about me?"


    Shen Shangjing forced out a smile and intentionally changed the topic: "Don''t think too much about it, let''s go to Yunshu together."


    "Alright." Jin Se slightly nodded his head, then pulled Shen Shangjing''s arm and left. When he passed by Su Xiruo, he even shot her a fierce look of warning.


    It seemed to be telling her not to have any presumptuous thoughts towards my man, or else, I''ll kill you!


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, did not seem to worry Jin Se too much, and left the Book Pavilion with the Poison Book.


    However, all of these Senior Class''s people have strength above the level of Spirit Monarch, there is still half a year left before the competition, if I don''t put in more effort, I''m afraid I won''t be able to contend against these people!


    Just as Bai Yanxi stepped into the Duel Yard and was about to use his Duel Yard, a familiar voice came from a corner.


    Out of curiosity, she approached and saw a group of people forming a semicircle, lecturing a youth. The one leading them was Ling Qian Ye with Divine Ranked Class One and the one on the ground, a young man with wounds all over, was Qing Xuan.


    Immediately, Bai Yanxi could not hold back and stepped forward, pushing through the crowd. "What are you doing?"


    Then, she helped Qing Xuan up, and asked with concern: "Are you alright?"


    Unexpectedly, Qing Xuan slowly pushed her away, and said indifferently: "Don''t worry about it, go away."


    Bai Yanxi was startled, he did not know what happened yet. "How could I not care, you''re someone from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three!"


    At this time, Ling Qian Ye impatiently scolded him, "Mind your own business, a fist worth a hundred gold coins, don''t delay him from earning gold!"


    "What?" Bai Yanxi opened his eyes wide, looking at Qing Xuan in disbelief, "Qing Xuan, even if you want to earn gold coins, you can''t just ignore your body like this!"


    Qing Xuan shook off her arm and said coldly: "Quickly go, this has nothing to do with you!"


    Bai Yanxi was unhappy: "No, follow me. If you are lacking gold coins, I will give it to you!"


    Qing Xuan did not move, and was unwilling to follow her. Ling Qian Ye became impatient, and pushed Bai Yanxi away with a palm. "Get lost, don''t stand in the way of others. But it also depends on whether you can meddle in this matter anymore! "


    Bai Yanxi''s finger bones were tightly curled. If one looked carefully, these two had seven stars Heavenly Spirit Master and one Four-star.


    However, she naturally could not just sit by and watch as Qing Xuan suffered, so she turned and ran off to find reinforcements.


    She panted as she ran back into Pear Garden and pushed open the door to Su Xiruo''s room, "Xiruo, it''s bad, Qing Xuan, he ¡­ Hurry and go to the Duel Yard to save people! "


    Su Xiruo put down the Poison Book in his hands, placed it under his pillow, and asked: "Don''t be in such a rush.


    Therefore, Bai Yanxi took a deep breath and explained to Su Xiruo what happened at Duel Yard. "This is what happened, no matter what, Qing Xuan was unwilling to follow me, and I was worried that if he gets beaten up like this, something might happen to him, so I came to call you!"


    "Go, go to the Duel Yard!" Su Xiruo stood up, his eyes becoming more sinister.


    Those who dared to bully her Heavenly Ranked Class Three, they had to see if they had the ability!


    Ling Qian Ye looked down at him from above, and sneered: "Heh, such a relief. Qing Xuan, didn''t you act very arrogantly in the competition earlier? Didn''t you end up in my hands now?"


    Qing Xuan was expressionless as he said coldly: "Stop with the nonsense, if you want to fight, hurry up!"


    "Sure." Ling Qian Ye''s finger bones were curled tightly, and he was fully prepared. "Just now, I was just stretching your body. This punch, I caused you to be paralyzed!"


    With that, the berserk Spiritual Strength shot out, landing in front of Qing Xuan''s body with no distance between it and him, suddenly, a fist struck onto Ling Qian Ye''s chest, bringing along a powerful force.


    Instantly, Ling Qianye''s entire body flew backwards as he vomited blood. He felt as if his ribs were about to break from the impact!


    Seeing the situation, the other two Heavenly Spirit Master s also went to attack Su Xiruo.


    "Xiruo, be careful!" Bai Yanxi reminded them.


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change as he punched one person and flew out. With light steps, he walked in front of the three people and threw out three hundred gold coins with a few "clangs". In front of them, he spat out one word coldly.


    "Scram!"


    Ling Qian Ye held onto his broken bones and looked at Su Xiruo who seemed to be the god''s chosen one. He dared not say anything even if he was angry, so he obediently got up and ran away.


    One had to know, even their boss couldn''t defeat this woman, so how could he be her match?


    Following that, Su Xiruo turned around and helped Qing Xuan up from the ground. However, Qing Xuan tried to push her away: "Why do you want to meddle in other people''s business?"


    "If you don''t want to die, then continue!" "For a mere hundred gold coins, you''re willing to throw away your dignity. Qing Xuan, aren''t you afraid of being looked down upon if you act like this?"


    Qing Xuan sneered, and simply did not care. "What is dignity? Right now, I can''t even protect the person I love the most. What''s the use of having dignity? "


    Listening up to here, Su Xiruo frowned slightly. He had roughly realized that Qing Xuan was hiding something difficult.


    "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. We can all help you, so why are you always like this?" Bai Yanxi could not understand why this fellow was always so solitary.


    Qing Xuan curled his fingers tightly, unwilling to care: "It''s useless, my problem, you guys can''t do anything about it!"


    Su Xiruo grabbed Qing Xuan''s arm and pulled him into a corner where no one was at Duel Yard. Only then did he let go of his hand, "Alright, now only Yan Xi and I are left.


    Qing Xuan sighed helplessly. "I ¡­"


    "Qing Xuan." Bai Yanxi also started to speak, "If you treat us as your own people, then feel free to tell us. Don''t worry, we will definitely not tell anyone about what happened to you."


    Hearing that, Qing Xuan was moved. Originally, he felt that no one could help him, he just wanted to do it by himself, but they suddenly told him that they could help him.


    Although they might not be able to help him with this favor, it still touched his heart.

 C131

    Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, with tears welling up in his eyes, Su Xiruo asked: "You collect a large amount of gold coins, is it ¡­. You have a hostage in the hands of someone else? "


    Finally, a tear fell, and Qing Xuan could no longer suppress his emotions, "That''s right."


    "It''s my younger sister, held hostage by Senior Class''s Lu Mo, who wants me to take out a hundred thousand gold coins to redeem my younger sister''s life. The deadline is approaching, but even with my hands pieced together, I only have around seventy thousand gold coins ¡­"


    "So, you took sides with the sword and used this method to earn gold?" Bai Yanxi was a little excited, "You ¡­ Why don''t you ask us for help? "


    "Since Senior Class is involved at this time, all of them are very strong. If I bring all of you down with me and offend the Senior Class, my days in the future might not be too good." Qing Xuan bit his lower lip, and revealed his true thoughts.


    So it turned out that he was just afraid that this matter would implicate the others, and because he was threatened by Lu Qingmo, he had to keep this a secret by himself and didn''t say it out loud no matter what.


    "Lu Qingmo said that if within ten days, I cannot take out another hundred thousand gold coins, he will kill my sister." Qing Xuan smashed his fist onto the ground, blood all over his fingerbone. "I''m really useless, I can''t even protect my only kin!"


    "Lu Qingmo." Su Xiruo muttered this unfamiliar name in his mouth and lightly patted Qing Xuan''s shoulder, "Don''t worry, I will lend you the rest of the gold. You can bring a hundred thousand gold coins to Lu Qingmo, and it would be best if you could exchange it for your sister."


    She only felt that this matter wasn''t that simple. The other party might have other motives!


    Qing Xuan looked at Su Xiruo with gratitude, and then kneeled down in front of her, "I, Qing Xuan, will repay you even if I have to be a horse or a cow!"


    Su Xiruo anxiously helped him up: "Don''t say it like that, your sister''s life is more important. Furthermore, even if you took one hundred thousand gold coins, he would not let your sister go, it is a completely different matter."


    "You mean, this thing... Not necessarily? " Qing Xuan was anxious.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo was still a little more cautious, "How about this, I''ll follow you in secret. If there''s any unforeseen events, stop Lu Qingmo and ask around."


    Qing Xuan nodded, and in that moment, he did not know what to say in gratitude.


    The next day, Qing Xuan brought a hundred thousand gold coins and invited Lu Qingmo out. The two of them agreed to meet at a desolate place in the rear mountains of the academy, with Su Xiruo secretly following behind.


    However, she didn''t dare to follow too closely. After all, all of the Senior Class students were at least at the Spirit Monarch level. If she were to get too close to them, she would definitely be discovered.


    Desolate Forest, a black figure appeared in front of Qing Xuan, he was dressed in black, and looked to be around twenty years of age, there was a mysterious smile on his face.


    "What, you''ve collected one hundred thousand gold coins?" Lu Qingmo scoffed, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule.


    "All one hundred thousand gold coins are here, not a single one is missing. Where''s Qing Er, let me first meet her!" Qing Xuan took off his Storage Ring and waved it in front of Lu Qingmo''s eyes.


    Lu Qingmo stretched out his hand: "Give it to me!"


    Qing Xuan''s fingers tightened, he was unwilling to give up the gold coins, "Let me see Qing Er first!"


    "You don''t have the right to negotiate with me right now." There was no room for negotiation with Lu Qingmo''s tone, "Why don''t you hand over the gold coins and I will let your sister go, or you can just leave, and wait to collect your sister''s corpse!"


    After he finished speaking, Lu Qingmo was about to turn around and leave, with not the slightest bit of disdain.


    Since Qing Xuan was in his hands, he could only grit his teeth and compromise: "Wait a moment!"


    Lu Qingmo stopped in his tracks, knowing that this brat had definitely compromised.


    Qing Xuan trembled as he handed the Storage Ring over to Lu Qingmo. Lu Qingmo carefully counted it and was satisfied: "Mmm, I didn''t expect that you would be so efficient."


    "Now, let Qing Er go!" Qing Xuan asked.


    "Wait." Lu Qingmo didn''t want to bring up the matter regarding him, "What are you in a hurry for? I will do another count. If it''s too few, wouldn''t I be at a disadvantage? "


    Qing Xuan slightly frowned, and became a little anxious. "But, you''ve already counted three times."


    In his heart, he suddenly felt that this Lu Qingmo was deliberately stalling for time, in order to avoid the crucial point!


    Lu Qingmo''s expression changed, obviously displeased: "Why are you urging me on? Your sister is in my hands, so you shouldn''t look at my face. How dare you speak to me like that, do you not want your sister anymore? "


    "I''m sorry." Thus, Qing Xuan''s attitude suddenly became much better, "Senior Brother Lu, I was too anxious just now. If you have finished counting, I''ll go see Qing Er first!"


    Although he was anxious, he could still hold it in for the sake of his sister.


    Lu Qingmo snorted, waved his sleeves and said: "I''m not in a good mood today, when I return I will carefully count the gold coins, then I will bring you to see that girl!"


    This sentence immediately angered Qing Xuan, and he stood in front of him: "Didn''t you say that as long as I take out one hundred thousand gold coins, you would release my sister?


    Lu Qingmo deliberately evaded: "When did I break my promise? "Your sister is staying at my place. Why are you in such a hurry? I''ll send her back to you in a few days."


    After he finished speaking, Lu Qingmo planned to turn around and leave. Qing Xuan felt that he had been tricked, and went forward and grabbed Lu Qingmo by the collar. "Lu Qingmo, I''m not joking with you, don''t play with me!"


    Lu Qingmo laughed in disdain, with a light burst of force, he struck Qing Xuan and sent him flying, as he said indifferently: "You overestimate yourself!"


    Pushing Qing Xuan aside, Lu Qingmo straightened his collar and was about to leave when he sensed two vines behind him. They were extremely fast and instantly wrapped around his arms.


    Su Xiruo appeared in front of him, and said with a slightly angry tone: "I really never thought that people with Senior Class would go back on their words and not keep their promises!"


    "Little girl, who are you? Don''t meddle in other people''s business!" Lu Qingmo''s gaze fell on Su Xiruo, and his eyes carried some scorching heat and dark hatred!


    "I am determined to take care of the matter regarding Heavenly Ranked Class Three." Su Xiruo took a step forward, and said coldly: "Since you took one hundred thousand gold, you should follow your promise and release him, do you want to go back on your words now?"


    Lu Qingmo scoffed, as though he did not put her in his eyes at all, "A student from the low level class actually dares to be so arrogant!"


    "Xiruo, be careful. This guy is very treacherous!" Qing Xuan couldn''t help but remind her.


    As a result, at the same time, Lu Qingmo struggled free from the vines in his hands and clenched the vines tightly. With a strong force, Su Xiruo flew up and dodged his attack, the huge boulder beside him was instantly smashed into pieces by the vines.


    Just now, it was just an inch away from Su Xiruo''s body, and the attack was about to land on him.


    As expected of Spirit Monarch, the explosive power from raising one''s hand and raising one''s foot was enough to make one unable to dodge it!


    "So, you are the Su Xiruo from the Elementary Class." Lu Qingmo had long heard of this name, "Interesting, but with that little bit of strength of yours, in the eyes of our Senior Class, you are nothing more than scum!"


    Su Xiruo''s voice was cold and unafraid: "Regardless of my strength, coming here with Qing Xuan today, is only for one reason. If you let her go, we won''t care about it anymore, but if you don''t want to let go, even if you are someone from the Senior Class, I will pursue this matter to the end!"


    "Alright, since your tone is so arrogant, let''s see if you have the ability to do so." Lu Qingmo laughed in disdain, his body flickered, wanting to leave, not willing to waste anymore time with them.


    "Qing Xuan, stop him!" Su Xiruo said coldly, not willing to give up this opportunity.


    Hearing that, Qing Xuan stood up immediately and pointed the blade towards his neck. Lu Qingmo dodged it gracefully and with a flying kick, the enemy fell to the ground.

 C132

    Su Xiruo took the opportunity to attack from the back, with more than ten concealed weapons striking at the same time, their speed was extremely fast, who knew that Lu Qingmo had already sensed them, with a flick of his sleeves, he returned the hidden weapons back.


    Seeing the concealed weapon coming straight at her and not giving her any chance to react, Su Xiruo did not make a move. A golden light flashed in front of her and Mu Jin appeared, blocking all the hidden weapons for her.


    "Mu Jin, you ¡­" Seeing Mu Jin appear, although he was human, Su Xiruo was more or less nervous.


    After all, Lu Qingmo was a Spirit Monarch. It was unknown if he could recognize that this Mu Jin was a spirit beast.


    "Mistress, if he dares to bully you, I will help you kill him!" Mu Jin looked at Lu Qingmo with hatred, the Spiritual Strength in his palm had already condensed and was ready to attack at any moment.


    Mu Jin was currently a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human Spirit Monarch. Of course, normally speaking, the strength of spirit beasts at the same level would be slightly higher than that of humans.


    When Lu Qingmo saw Mu Jin, he instantly felt the surrounding Strength of Beast Spirit s in Mu Jin''s body.


    This is... Isn''t this?


    Before he could even react, Mu Jin''s palm sent him flying, and he quickly got up from the ground and begged for forgiveness, "Please show mercy, please show mercy, I ¡­ I will keep my promise! "


    Only then did Mu Jin withdraw his hand. Lu Qingmo walked forward and grabbed Lu Qingmo''s arm, as if he had seen an old friend. "Where did you come from?"


    "Let go?" Mu Jin flung Lu Qingmo''s hand away with a face of vigilance, and said coldly, "I naturally came here with my master, what does it have to do with you?"


    "Your master?" Lu Qingmo looked at Su Xiruo in shock, he could not believe it, "This girl, is your master?"


    Su Xiruo frowned, he was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would bring disaster to Mu Jin, so he interrupted the conversation between the two: "Lu Qingmo! I don''t think you have any right to know who my subordinates are! "Just now, you said that you are willing to keep your promise. In that case, bring us to meet him!"


    After she finished speaking, she took a small step forward and shielded Mu Jin behind her.


    At this time, Lu Qingmo let out a small sigh: "Are you really forcing me like this?"


    "What do you mean?" Qing Xuan did not understand what he meant, "Could it be that Qing Er is not in your hands?"


    When he had just entered the academy, he had personally seen it once. Could it be that Qing Er was no longer in his hands now?


    "It''s in my hands." Lu Qingmo''s tone sounded somewhat helpless, "But if you were to say it out loud, I''m afraid that you won''t be able to take it."


    Qing Xuan opened his eyes wide, countless of bad thoughts flashed past his mind, and he anxiously asked: "Just what happened, what happened to Qing Er, you tell me, quickly tell me!"


    He grabbed Lu Qingmo''s shoulder without letting go, afraid that would not say anything, and furthermore, afraid that he would hear some bad news from him.


    "Qing Er is already dead." Finally, Lu Qingmo told them the truth. Their expressions became more serious.


    "What?" Qing Xuan fell to the ground, his mind was completely blank, as if he thought he had heard wrongly, and continuously shook his head, "Impossible, how could this be?, How could Qing Er die!"


    Following that, he glared at Lu Qingmo with bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast. "It was you who killed Qing Er, it was you who killed her, right?"


    After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to pinch Lu Qingmo''s neck, and Su Xiruo pulled him away. "Qing Xuan, calm down first, and let him explain everything clearly!"


    Qing Xuan closed both his eyes, feeling extreme grief. It was as if at this moment, the sky had darkened by a lot, and his vision became a field of gray: "How do you want me to calm down? The reason I spent so much effort to enter the academy was to find the whereabouts of Qing Er, but now that Qing Er is dead, what meaning does it have to me to live? "


    Su Xiruo let out a faint sigh, turned around and coldly questioned Lu Qingmo: "Lu Qingmo, I hope that you will not hide everything from us!"


    Right now, the most important thing was to know the cause of Qing Er''s death. If he died because of Lu Qingmo, then no matter what, she would help Qing Xuan take revenge!


    "Sigh, I''ll take you guys to a place." On Lu Qingmo''s face, there seemed to be many traces of helplessness and discomfort.


    Thus, they followed Lu Qingmo to a small dark secret room. The temperature inside was extremely low, and the moment they entered, they saw an ice coffin lying on the ground, and inside the ice coffin, was a female corpse.


    "Qing Er, Qing Er!" Qing Xuan immediately lost control of his emotions, he rushed forward and looked at the familiar face inside the ice coffin, then extended his hand out to touch it.


    He called out his sister''s name, but this time, he knew that no matter how much he called out to her, she would never wake up again.


    Lu Qingmo took out a letter and a rough silver hairpin, and gave them to Qing Xuan: "This is Qing Er''s will, and there are still things left behind."


    Qing Xuan turned his head and shakily received it. Looking at the old and mottled silver hairpin, his tears fell onto the letter.


    Since he was young, he and his sister had been mutually dependent, roaming all over the place. The two of them had no one to rely on and only when they relied on Qing Xuan to do odd jobs could the brother and sister barely make a living.


    Back then, in order to give his sister a pleasant surprise, Qing Xuan had saved a lot of money from buying this silver hairpin. He had also saved some leftover food from the tavern, and then bought his sister some food to eat before going back.


    When Qing Er received the silver hairpin, he was wild with joy and treated it as his treasure. From then on, he carried it on his body and never left it.


    Qing Xuan slowly unfolded Qing Er''s will. The will was not long, but he read each word carefully, and when he finished reading it, his fingers curled tightly, and his tears flowed like a dam that had burst, unable to be stopped long ago: "Qing Er, why are you hiding this from big brother?"


    A year ago, Qing Er accidentally fell into a serious illness. Although at that time, Qing Xuan went to accept missions, earning him quite a bit of commission, he did not know much about medical skills, and Qing Er''s illness was also a terrifying bottomless pit. Qing Xuan took his sister, and went to every nook and cranny to seek medical treatment, but there was nothing he could do about it.


    Therefore, in order to no longer implicate Big Brother, Qing Er chose to leave the Profound Yin Empire on his own. Leaving Big Brother''s side, after wandering around and intruding into the Mercenary Academy, he was kept by Lu Qingmo.


    Lu Qingmo explained to him blandly: "Qing Er told me a lot of things about you guys, and then, you followed the clues and found the Mercenary Academy, and found me. At that time, I had also begged Qing Er for help from many doctors, but her condition never improved, so she didn''t want to burden you further, and begged me to keep you guys, and didn''t want to see you, so I thought of a way for you to retreat until she died peacefully. Thus, I followed her intentions and made a request of a hundred thousand gold coins to make things difficult for you.


    Qing Xuan''s fingerbone was almost embedded into his flesh, the dizzying sensation made him breathless: "Qing Er, when did she die?"


    "Three days ago." As Lu Qingmo said till here, his eyes also seemed to be a little red. "After I finished taking care of her affairs, I urged you to hand over a hundred thousand gold coins. Then, according to what Qing Er had said, she had already left the academy. However, when I saw how sorrowful and heartbroken you were earlier, I felt that you should have the right to know about this matter. "


    "Qing Er doesn''t want to make you sad, and she doesn''t want you to know about her death. But I feel that, as her brother, no matter what, you should have the right to know the true situation of your own sister." Lu Qingmo let out a faint sigh, and her voice was choked with emotions, "Qing Xuan, I''m sorry. Perhaps, I should have told you earlier about this."


    Su Xiruo stood at the back and was slightly shocked when he heard the sequence of events.


    He really did not expect that Qing Xuan coming to Mercenary Academy was just to find his sister. But now, her only hope had also been destroyed, and to him, this could really be considered a heavy blow.


    "Qing Er." Qing Xuan lay in front of the ice coffin and cried, "Why didn''t you tell Big Brother? Why would I feel like you are a burden? Other than you, I have no other family members in this world! "

 C133

    "Qing Xuan." Lu Qingmo looked at him and spoke with a serious tone, "I will leave all of Qing Er''s remnants to you. She said that after she died, she would be buried in this Mercenary Academy with me as her companion. She has no roots and it''s the same no matter where she goes, but I was reluctant to part with her, so I could only seal her corpse in an ice coffin."


    Qing Xuan tried his best to calm his emotions down a bit. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said: "I respect Qing Er''s will, but, since she wants to be buried in this Mercenary Academy, then I will be protecting her in this Mercenary Academy for generations to come!"


    Her little sister was her only family, and now that her little sister was here, he didn''t want to go anywhere.


    Then, Qing Xuan kneeled in front of Lu Qingmo. Qing Xuan apologized to Senior Brother here. Thank you Senior Brother for taking Qing Er in for so long. "


    "Get up." Lu Qingmo then let him get up first, "There''s no need to say such words to me. Qing Er is no longer here, so I feel very sad in my heart, hating that I am unable to save her. Now that Qing Er is no longer here, I feel that she definitely hopes that you can stay alive and well, so ¡­"


    "I know." Qing Xuan slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, there were no longer any thoughts in his heart.


    However, for Qing Er, he would live on!


    Lu Qingmo turned his head and said to Su Xiruo: "Ai, let him stay here for a while. He might not be able to accept this fact at the moment."


    "Yes." Su Xiruo only replied with this one word, as the emotions in his heart became a little heavy.


    "Right." Just then, Lu Qingmo suddenly changed the topic and casually asked, "Why did your subordinate disappear? Did he hide himself?"


    "Senior brother Lu, why do you care so much about my subordinates?" Su Xiruo immediately became more alert.


    Could it be that Lu Qingmo had already figured out Mu Jin''s identity as a Spirit Beast? It seemed that it would be better for him to be more careful.


    Afraid that he would be suspected by her, Lu Qingmo changed his words: "No, I don''t have any malicious intent. I just think that you are an interesting girl.


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, and did not refuse. He also did not directly agree: "I see, you think my subordinates are rather interesting, right?"


    Lu Qingmo immediately shook his head: "No, I didn''t mean it that way. Everything was just a misunderstanding.


    Lu Qingmo thought that if he wanted to get close to her, he would have to get close to her first.


    "Then I''ll think about it." Su Xiruo did not give him an accurate answer.


    Qing Xuan guarded Qing Er''s ice coffin for an entire five days without a single drop of water entering it. After that, after leaving the secret room, he shut himself in his room all day without saying a word.


    Everyone could not help but worry for him, worried that something would happen to Qing Xuan. But at this time, Qing Xuan pushed open the door.


    "Qing Xuan." Bai Yanxi walked forward, looking at his haggard appearance, she became a little anxious, "It''s only been a few days, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight."


    Mu Lingxi also came forward and comforted her in all seriousness: "A dead person cannot be revived, it is only right for your sister''s spirit in heaven to live on properly."


    "Yeah." Nangong Yi also followed up, "Your sister left just for you to live well, not to have you follow her!"


    Only Su Biyue was sitting alone in the corner.


    Qing Xuan slightly nodded, and finally spoke: "Thank you everyone for your concern, but you don''t have to worry. Since Qing Er said it, he wants me to live a good life.


    Since he had chosen to stay in the Academy for the rest of his life, he should continue to stay there gloriously. It would be best if he could stand at the top of the Academy and let Qing Er see him for himself!


    After that day, Qing Xuan''s condition clearly began to improve as he swallowed all of the pain into his heart and transformed it into motivation.


    One day, Su Xiruo came to the Yunshu to cultivate, and just happened to meet him at the first level, Su Biyue was also there.


    The two of them looked at each other, then turned their gazes away. They did not speak, nor did they communicate, so Su Xiruo went up to the second floor.


    Ever since what had happened last time, the relationship between Su Xiruo and her had become much more tense. Not only did she seem like a stranger, even when they met, there was the faint smell of gunpowder permeating the air.


    Today, the number of students in the Yunshu was exceptionally large, so much so that even the second floor was filled with people.


    Unexpectedly, just as she was about to sit down, a melodious female voice was heard. "This seat is mine."


    Su Xiruo slowly raised his head. He saw that Jin Se had a cold expression and that tone of his didn''t seem to have any room for discussion.


    "Yours?" Su Xiruo smiled, looked around, and returned with a question, "Senior sister, is your name not written on this seat?"


    Suddenly, Jin Se frowned, her enchanting face twisted together. She probably never would have thought that a mere low level class student would dare to contradict her.


    "If I say it''s mine, it''s mine." Jin Se''s tone was extremely arrogant, "Could it be, that your teacher didn''t teach you guys, and when you see students of Senior Class, you should take the initiative to politely avoid them?"


    The more arrogant and despotic the opponent was, the more Su Xiruo was unconcerned. "I only know that the students are equal, and as for this seat, it naturally belongs to whoever comes first, so how can Senior Sister not understand such obvious logic?"


    "You!" Hearing her words, Jin Se curled his fingers tightly, and stared at Su Xiruo fiercely: "You better not not not not know what''s good for you, I''ll be good when I speak to you, if you don''t listen, you''ll suffer!"


    Su Xiruo could faintly feel that Jin Se''s body was being pressured by waves of Spiritual Strength pressure, making her unable to breathe.


    This Jin Se, was at least a two star star or Three-star. Although he couldn''t afford to offend her right now, there was no need to force her hand.


    "Senior Sister, do you want to fight here?" When Su Xiruo saw her dark expression, his tone was neither servile nor overbearing, and there was no fear in it at all.


    That was because she was certain that Jin Se did not dare to make a move in this kind of place, otherwise, it would be against the rules of the academy.


    "Don''t think that I don''t dare to!" Jin Se''s fist was already clenched tight, as though in the next second, it would directly explode.


    Instead of getting angry, Su Xiruo laughed and looked at her, ridiculing her: "Alright, Senior Sister, it''s best for you to make your move now. It''s not a big deal for me to be injured, it''s just that I''m afraid that Senior Sister''s heroic name will be ruined!"


    Other than Duel Yard, fighting was prohibited everywhere else in the courtyard, let alone in a sacred place like Yunshu. And it was because of his arrogance and domineering attitude that he attacked the students in the low ranking classes.


    If this were to spread out, Jin Se would not even have a chance to live his life in the Senior Class anymore.


    "Are you threatening me?" Jin Se was flustered, but he did not dare make a move, and coldly asked: "Do you dare to follow me to the Duel Yard?"


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, and continued to mock him: "Senior sister, to you, what is there to be proud about if you win against me, a low class student? If we were to accidentally lose, it would ruin our illustrious reputation, and would be worth it! "


    Even if he wasn''t this woman''s match for the time being, he couldn''t lose in terms of momentum.


    "What do you mean?" As expected, Jin Se was instantly angered by her words, "How could I lose to you with such a low Heavenly Spirit Master?"


    "Jin Se ¡ª" At this time, a man''s voice interrupted her. Shen Shangjing walked over from the side and stopped the furious Jin Se.


    Shen Shangjing and Su Xiruo looked at each other, then said to Jin Se: "Stop messing around here, I''ll give my seat to you, this matter ends here!"


    Shang Jing, he actually spoke up for Su Xiruo?


    Jin Se turned his head and looked at him, his heart feeling extremely unbalanced.

 C134

    "Shang Jing, you actually spoke up for her. Did you not hear how she treated me?" Jin Se glared, as though he was unwilling to give up.


    Shen Shangjing slightly frowned, and said: "Alright, Jin Se, you''re not in the right with this matter. Since this Junior Sister came here first, you naturally cannot force her.


    "Hmph, I think you''re favoring her!" Jin Se flung Shen Shangjing''s hand away, a little angry.


    Just what kind of ability does this Su Xiruo have? It''s only been two short encounters, and he''s already able to make Shang Jing speak up for her!


    No, maybe he had already met these two people many times in private, and he just didn''t know who they were! Ah, it must be this woman who had seduced Sang Jing!


    "Jin Se, stop messing around!" Shen Shangjing''s tone carried a slight unhappiness, and was probably a little impatient.


    "Alright, I''m the one messing around. I''m the one messing around, are you satisfied?" Jin Se was furious, he flung Shen Shangjing''s hand away, fiercely glared at Su Xiruo, and turned to leave.


    Shen Shangjing did not chase after her. Instead, he had already gotten used to Jin Se''s fiery temper, so he turned around and said to Su Xiruo, "Junior Sister Xiruo, Jin Se has such a temper. If you''ve offended her a while ago, I''ll apologize to you!"


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth rose slightly, and smiled lightly: "Senior Brother Shen is too courteous, however, Senior Brother Shen''s fiancee seems to be angry, you should quickly go and take a look."


    Her tone sounded calm, but there was a hint of estrangement and indifference, as if she was intentionally trying to pull away from Shen Shangjing.


    Shen Shangjing laughed, and did not say anymore, but he did not chase after him either, and returned to his own seat to cultivate.


    Jin Se came down from the second floor of the Yunshu and muttered continuously: "This Su Xiruo, is truly audacious. One day, I''ll let her know how amazing she is!"


    Although her voice was soft, it was heard by the meticulous Su Biyue. Su Biyue stood up and walked over to Jin Se with a smile: "Hello, Senior Sister Jin Se. I am Su Biyue from Heavenly Ranked Class Three."


    In these few days, Su Biyue did not come to Yunshu for the purpose of training at all, he only came to familiarize himself with the students who understood Senior Class, in order to build a good relationship with them.


    Therefore, she recognized the woman the moment she saw her. She was the only son of the great elder of the academy, the fianc¨¦e of Shen Shangjing, Jin Se.


    At the same time, her family background was also very impressive. She was one of the Four Great Clans of Phoenix Nest Empire, a physician clan.


    "People from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three?" Jin Se snorted, upon hearing these words, he was no longer in a good mood, "Heh, scram!"


    Being in the same class as that bitch Su Xiruo would definitely not be anything good!


    "Senior Sister Jin Se, don''t misunderstand, I''m not the same as them!" Su Biyue immediately made his stand, "Everyone from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three favor Su Xiruo, but I am the complete opposite. What I hate the most is Su Xiruo!"


    Hearing her words, Jin Se''s eyes immediately lit up, but he still found it a little unbelievable: "Are you joking with me?"


    "If you lie, I, Su Biyue, will die a horrible death." Su Biyue''s tone was extremely sincere.


    Jin Se shot a glance at her, and asked: "Then tell me, why do you dislike Su Xiruo?"


    Su Biyue snorted, and started to play with the truth: "Because Su Xiruo is a man that does not know what to do! That''s why, Senior Sister Jin Se, I am truly angry for you from the bottom of my heart, and that''s why I am telling you this matter! "


    "Master Helian?" Jin Se was startled, he felt that it was unbelievable, "Su Xiruo is actually related to the Master Helian?"


    "That''s right." Su Biyue laughed, and continued to speak, "She bewitched the Master Helian, and her methods were extremely clever, I originally thought that was fine, but I never thought that she would actually provoke Senior Brother Shen, and even I, the one with Heavenly Ranked Class Three, could not bear to watch any longer!"


    Jin Se thought about it carefully. Given Master Helian''s strength, even if he came to bring them along their Senior Class, it would be more than enough.


    Could it be that he was also bewitched by that woman Su Xiruo?


    Thinking up to here, Jin Se''s heart was filled with jealousy. Why was it that all the outstanding men surrounded Su Xiruo, and now, even her own fianc¨¦ had come to covet him?!


    "Heh, what an arrogant woman." Jin Se''s finger bones were tightly curled, and at this moment, he wished that he could tear Su Xiruo into ten thousand pieces.


    When Su Biyue saw her hateful gaze, he knew that he had achieved his goal.


    "Senior Sister Jin Se, don''t be angry, I think, with your looks and strength, can''t you compare to Su Xiruo?" So, Su Biyue continued to fan the flames, "It''s just that Senior Sister does not want to argue with her, if we truly compare notes, Su Xiruo will definitely not be your match!


    These words made Jin Se feel quite comfortable in his heart. He nodded slightly and glanced at Su Biyue: "Su Biyue, since you hate Su Xiruo so much, I''ll give you a chance to vent your anger. What do you think?"


    "Senior Sister, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can do it, even if I have to go through fire and water, I''m willing to do it!" To be able to deal with Su Xiruo, Su Biyue was naturally extremely happy in his heart.


    Jin Se looked around, worried that someone would hear him, so he pulled Su Biyue to a corner where there was no one around, and was willing to speak:


    From today onwards, you will serve me and report to me about Su Xiruo''s situation at any time.


    Su Biyue laughed, and then said politely: "Senior Sister, I do not need any benefits, because I am on the same side as you. As long as we can deal with Su Xiruo, it will be the greatest benefit to me."


    "Alright." Jin Se patted Su Biyue''s shoulders as if he had found a bosom friend, "As long as you are loyal to me, in the future, I, Jin Se, will guarantee that you won''t be bullied at all in this Mercenary Academy!"


    "Thank you, Senior Sister!" Su Biyue immediately expressed his thanks, and a flower bloomed in his heart.


    In this Mercenary Academy, having a backer like Jin Se could be considered to be a pretty good choice. From now on, she no longer had to be careful in her Mercenary Academy, and could take it step by step.


    She, Su Biyue, could finally hold her head up high!


    However, Su Biyue''s plan seemed to have miscalculated. When she returned to the Pear Garden the next day, she did not see Su Xiruo at all.


    When Su Biyue passed on the news to Jin Se, Jin Se was also extremely furious: "It''s really a coincidence, just as I was about to deal with her, she hid herself and went into closed door cultivation!"


    Su Biyue cautiously opened his mouth and said: "Senior Sister, Su Xiruo went with Master Helian to cultivate, so ¡­ During this period of cultivation, I am afraid we will not be able to take action against Su Xiruo! "


    Jin Se naturally understood in his heart, it was just that he was a little angry.


    "Senior sister, I''m sorry. I didn''t know that such a thing would actually happen." Su Biyue sighed helplessly. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he really wanted to find Su Xiruo and hack him into pieces.


    But now, they couldn''t go and deal with Su Xiruo either. After all, the Master Helian was by her side.


    "Heh, since she''s not here, I''ll deal with her Heavenly Ranked Class Three. When she returns, I''ll see how she''ll clean up this mess!" Jin Se seemed to have an idea in his mind long ago.


    Since there was no way to deal with Su Xiruo directly, then he would just have to think of a way to start from Heavenly Ranked Class Three!


    "This ¡­"


    Seeing Su Biyue''s surprise, Jin Se then asked closely: "What, could it be that you have some sort of selfish intent towards Heavenly Ranked Class Three?"


    "No." Su Biyue hurriedly denied it, "I also hate people with Heavenly Ranked Class Three! Senior Sister, if there''s anything you need, just tell me! "


    When she thought about those people, how they all supported Su Xiruo and ignored her feelings, making her feel that there was nothing to pity!


    Since those people couldn''t treat her well, there was no need for her to treat them sincerely!

 C135

    "Is that true?" Jin Se was still a little doubtful.


    Su Biyue was afraid that she did not believe him, so he extended his finger and swore to the sky: "Senior Sister Jin Se, if I have the slightest intention of betraying you, then let me be struck by lightning. I will die a horrible death!"


    "Alright." Jin Se was fairly satisfied with her performance, "Then I''ll believe you this time."


    Su Biyue heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if he wanted to obtain Jin Se''s complete trust, he still had a lot of things to do.


    "Senior sister, what should we do next?" Su Biyue could not wait and wanted to take revenge on Su Xiruo.


    Jin Se smiled mysteriously. "I want my Heavenly Ranked Class Three to be completely suppressed in this academy. There is no place for me to stand!"


    Su Biyue looked at her terrifying smile and was filled with anticipation.


    Shen Shangjing was Jin Se''s fianc¨¦, and right now, Jin Se''s hatred towards Su Xiruo was probably not inferior to his. He basically did not need to use any strength to borrow a knife to kill a person!


    At the back of the mountain of Mercenary Academy.


    The place was filled with dense vegetation, and the environment was quiet and serene. One would be able to see the entirety of Mercenary Academy when they were near the edge.


    But, what was different from other places was that Su Xiruo could clearly feel that the Spiritual Strength here was extremely powerful, even faintly stronger than Yunshu, it was a holy cultivation ground!


    "Yun Qian." Therefore, Su Xiruo asked curiously, "Where did you find such an abundant Spiritual Strength?"


    Yun Qian then explained: "This place has Yunshu on its back, and this bamboo forest and Yunshu just so happens to be in the middle ¡­ He had suppressed a Seventh Rank Water Qilin, so it is normal for the Spiritual Strength to be abundant here. "


    "Seventh Rank Water Qilin." Su Xiruo was surprised, "Why have I never heard of anyone mentioning it?"


    "Because only a few people know of the existence of these Seventh Rank Water Qilin." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as he continued, "The Water Qilin have already been sleeping at the foot of the mountain for dozens of years."


    "What if the Water Qilin breaks through the Seal?" As Su Xiruo said till here, his voice also became softer.


    The strength of Seventh Rank Spirit Beasts was equivalent to that of a human Spirit Sovereign. If they were still in a berserk state, then such power would probably destroy the entire academy.


    "Then, the one who will suffer the most will probably be Yunshu and this place." Yun Qian smiled noncommittally and did not try to hide anything.


    Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. "There must be an elder guarding the upper levels of the Yunshu, but this place ¡­"


    In other words, this place was a forbidden area to begin with, and because it was too dangerous, it was no wonder no one came here. This Yun Qian was too bold, daring to even come to this kind of place and use it as a cultivation ground!


    "This place has me, what are you afraid of?" Yun Qian saw through her thoughts and laughed.


    Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. "But, this place is a forbidden grounds.


    "So what if I do?" Yun Qian didn''t seem to care at all, "Xiruo, just stay here and cultivate. Leave the rest to me. When I break through Spirit Monarch and return to the academy."


    "Spirit Monarch ¡­" Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, feeling that this level was not far from his level, "Then it will take a long time."


    However, there was a huge gap between the nine star Heavenly Spirit Master and the Spirit Monarch. It was only half a year away from the great competition, and within this half a year, she didn''t even know if she could break through to the Spirit Monarch.


    Furthermore, even though he had just barely broken through the Spirit Monarch in half a year, there was still a large gap between him and those people in the Senior Class.


    "If you were to cultivate in this place, with your natural talent, I think it wouldn''t even take half a year." In his heart, Yun Qian trusted her quite a bit. He changed the topic, "Moreover, if you want to deal with those few people with Senior Class, even if you broke through Spirit Monarch, I''m afraid ¡­ "It''s useless."


    Merely the strength of their Spirit Monarch was not enough to deal with them. Merely their levels, had been completely crushed!


    "Yun Qian, I don''t really understand the students from Senior Class yet. Why don''t you tell me about them, and let me know what''s going on." Su Xiruo was quite curious about Senior Class.


    After all, if he wanted to obtain first place in the competition, he would have to face them first!


    Therefore, Yun Qian patiently explained to her: "Senior Class only has Heavenly Ranked s and Divine Ranked Class, there are only ten students of Heavenly Ranked Class, and all of them do not exceed the Three-star s, but Divine Ranked Class, only four students, and they are your final opponents!"


    "Shen Shangjing, he''s already an old student that''s been here for three years and is not qualified, so he can''t be considered a participant."


    "What about the other three?" Su Xiruo was already fully prepared in his heart.


    "Jin Se and Lu Qingmo, these two are from Three-star, so they aren''t much of a threat to you. However, Jin Se is a high level physician and specializes in using various types of spirit medicines, so his strength should not be underestimated."


    "Three-star, is it not a big threat?" Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, thinking that Yue Yang was joking around with him.


    He had also fought with Lu Qingmo once before, so he could clearly feel that they were not on the same level.


    "Compared to the other person, the threat posed by the two of them is naturally not too great." Yun Qian then mentioned another person, "There is still one more, Long Mochen, who currently has the strength of five star Spirit Monarch. I wonder if it will increase in half a year, and other than that, he is also an early stage Heavenly Ranked Poison Master!"


    Heavenly Ranked Poison Master. This identity was enough to make all the students tremble, and not to mention, it was even the strength of a five star Spirit Monarch. If the two of these were to be combined, who knows how terrifying it would be!


    "Heavenly Ranked Poison Master ¡­" This height was something that even Su Xiruo himself had to look up to. Right now, she was only a middle stage Profound Rank Poison Master, the difference between her and Long Mochen could be said to be like the heaven and earth.


    If he wanted to get first place, the difficulty would be that high.


    "It would seem that I will have to put in a lot of effort in order to be able to fight against them." Su Xiruo sighed helplessly. He knew that this time, he had a long way to go.


    "Don''t worry." Yun Qian saw the worry on her face and comforted her, "There''s no need to worry, it''s useless. The most important thing right now is to cultivate properly."


    Su Xiruo nodded her head lightly. Indeed, she was worried now that it would be useless.


    "Right, this is for you." In time, Yun Qian took out six exquisite hidden weapons from the Storage Ring and placed them in the center of Su Xiruo''s palm.


    Suddenly, she felt the strong Spiritual Strength from the concealed weapon, weighing it in her hand, and felt that the rank of the concealed weapon was very high, at least above Heavenly Ranked!


    "This is ¡­"


    "From what I see, you seem to be lacking a Spiritual Artifact. So, you refined one for yourself." Yun Qian''s voice was as warm as jade, "However, its abilities are limited, it''s just that it''s a high level Spiritual Artifact, let''s make do with it first."


    A high level Spiritual Artifact? Make do with it!


    "Are you joking with me?" Su Xiruo gasped, if the big families of famous sects heard his words, they would definitely be angered to death.


    A high levelled Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Artifact would probably be treated as a treasure and be revered in the entire empire, but he actually said that he would have to make do with it?


    "A few days ago when you went to the Dragon Seal Empire, it couldn''t be because you wanted to obtain the materials needed to refine this Spiritual Artifact, right?" Su Xiruo seemed to have guessed something.


    "Yes." Yun Qian did not deny it. "I just happened to be missing a rare material. I couldn''t find a substitute, so I had no choice but to go back."


    Seeing Su Xiruo''s abnormal expression, Yun Qian was still worried that she did not like it, but was actually a little disappointed in his heart. "If you don''t like it, then I ¡­"


    "I like it, of course I like it." Su Xiruo immediately replied.


    Who wouldn''t like high level Spiritual Artifact s like them, unless they had water in their brains?


    Previously, when Bai Yanxi said that Yun Qian was a high level Refiner, she had some doubts but now, she actually somewhat believed him.


    "Oh yeah, what''s the name of this Spiritual Artifact?" Xi Ruo curiously asked.

 C136

    "Xi Yan." Yun Qian''s thin lips slightly parted, his voice extremely pleasant to the ears. This was the name he had chosen himself.


    "Xi Yan." Su Xiruo repeated faintly, as if he was satisfied, "It''s a nice name."


    Yun Qian nodded his head slightly, and continued to introduce the Spiritual Artifact, "This Spiritual Artifact, I used a Yang Attribute Beast Core as the material, which is perfect for your attribute, to the maximum extent possible, bring out the advantages of your attribute."


    In other words, this Spiritual Artifact was tailor made for her. If it was used with the Cherry Blossom Heart, who knew how powerful it would be.


    Therefore, the Spiritual Strength at Su Xiruo''s fingertips, slowly condensed and formed. The Xi Yan floated in the air, and in an instant, a violent wind blew.


    The Xi Yan flew out and streaked across the huge rock in front of it. In the next second, the huge rock shattered and dissipated in the air.


    The strong force was something that even Su Xiruo herself could not believe, it was something that she had used herself. The Xi Yan''s power, coupled with her already proficient Cherry Blossom Stinger, she felt that even if she met with Spirit Monarch, she could still fight against them!


    Immediately, Su Xiruo felt a lot more confident: "As expected of the high levelled Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Artifact."


    Seeing the smile on this little girl''s face, the corner of Yun Qian''s mouth could not help but twitch.


    This girl, was really easy to satisfy. A high level Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Artifact had made her so happy.


    "Yun Qian, what do you think about my chances of winning if I were to fight with Jin Se now?" Su Xiruo probed him.


    Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, "You''re still thinking of fighting with Jin Se? Even if you were to encounter a one star Spirit Monarch right now, you only have a fifty-percent chance of winning. "


    This girl was simply too whimsical. It was possible that she wasn''t too clear on just how big the gap was between Heavenly Spirit Master and the Heavenly Spirit Master.


    If Yun Lan really succeeded in levelling up in the inner sect competition that day, then Xi Ruo would definitely not be his opponent.


    "Ah?" Then wouldn''t I have no chance of winning against Jin Se? " Hearing this, Su Xiruo was a little disappointed.


    Yun Qian then changed the topic of the conversation, "However, if you advance your Spirit Monarch, perhaps you still have a thirty to forty percent chance of winning."


    "Good, then I will cultivate well. Within half a year, I must break through my Spirit Monarch!" Su Xiruo''s finger bone was curled tightly, as if he had made his decision.


    This time, if he didn''t succeed, then he would die!


    Thus, in the following days, Yun Qian and Su Xiruo would close up around the mountain behind Mercenary Academy. They would cultivate the Spiritual Strength during the day and when the night came, they would also spend a lot of energy to cultivate the Toxicology.


    Time flew, Su Xiruo''s strength was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    And at the same time, all the matters concerning the Heavenly Ranked Class Three were handed over to Mu Lingxi. However, their lives were not going well, and they were often targeted by the Senior Class.


    On this day, everyone was present in the Pear Garden Inner Court, with the exception of Su Biyue.


    Mu Lingxi slapped the table, feeling extremely exasperated in his heart: "This is simply too much, after connecting to the three missions, all of them were snatched away by Jin Se''s men. They''re purposefully trying to make life difficult for us!"


    "Hai." Xiao Muran was also extremely angry, "Every time Jin Se stole our mission, she would tell us to call Su Xiruo to see her.


    "Xixi is currently in closed door cultivation. Don''t disturb her with such a small matter." Qing Xuan thought carefully, "Let''s think about how we should deal with this first."


    Nangong Yi sighed helplessly, "What else can we do? We were all suppressed to the point that we had no missions to take on, even Divine Ranked Class One and Class Two had to step on each other to go to Yunshu, we still had to fight for them!


    However, if they were to continue on like this, I''m afraid that I won''t even have a place in the entire academy! "


    "Heh, at least you''re sensible." At this moment, he heard the melodious sound of a woman''s voice.


    Wearing a red dress with sleeves, Jin Se walked in gracefully. Behind her, Su Biyue followed closely with a disdainful expression on his face.


    "Su Biyue, you traitor!" Xiao Muran could no longer hold back, "To actually be Jin Se''s lackey, we have misjudged you!"


    Su Biyue laughed disdainfully: "Heh, you can''t blame me for this, a good bird choosing a tree to perch on, my Heavenly Ranked Class Three has not fallen much since, if I continue to follow you, wouldn''t I suffer greatly?"


    Currently, she already had Jin Se as her stable backer, so she was naturally not afraid of falling out with these people.


    Bai Yanxi was a little angry: "You''re too heartless, back then when you were kicked out of the Divine Ranked Class Two, we took you in and we accepted you wholeheartedly. But now, you want to take advantage of us and follow Jin Se to deal with us!"


    Su Biyue did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he became even more unhappy. Heh, this is really the funniest joke I have ever heard. You guys only know how to protect Su Xiruo, and that''s all. When I truly clash with her, none of you will stand on my side, nor will anyone speak a word for me! "


    "What are you talking about?" Mu Lingxi curled his fingers tightly, interrupting her, "The matter before, was clearly you trying to help. If we don''t help Xiruo, could it be that we will have to help you?"


    "So, you guys have your own selfish motives." Su Biyue thought about it, and was extremely unwilling, "If you really accept me with your heart, at least you will protect me, but all of you are just Su Xiruo''s lackeys!"


    "You!" Xiao Muran really wanted to slap her.


    This woman was not good at all.


    However, Jin Se took a step forward and blocked in front of Su Biyue, "Bi Yue, don''t worry. From now on, I am your backer in this academy, and if anyone still wants to push you aside, then I will be making life difficult for Jin Se!"


    The fierce tone in his voice was as if he had said it intentionally for them to hear.


    "Thank you, Senior Sister." Su Biyue laughed, he was extremely pleased with himself.


    Those who had bullied her before had to pay the price to let them know that she had a much bigger and better backer!


    "Jin Se" Mu Lingxi was the first to speak and ask, "My Heavenly Ranked Class Three and yours have no enmity, so why are you always so against me? Just what have we done to offend you? "


    Jin Se laughed disapprovingly: "It''s true that you guys didn''t offend me, but your big boss at Heavenly Ranked Class Three had offended me, so all of you will suffer together! Or, if you want Su Xiruo to come out and see me, don''t be like a turtle who is hiding all day! "


    "Xiruo is cultivating in seclusion, I don''t have the time to come out and see you right now!" Bai Yanxi retorted coldly.


    "No time?" Jin Se felt that those words were taunting him, "I think he''s afraid!"


    After all, you are all innocent, and just got implicated by Su Xiruo. If you guys are willing to submit to me, then in the future, I will no longer cause you any trouble. On the contrary, would I even help you guys a little? "


    "Keep dreaming!" Xiao Muran rejected her at once, and glared at Su Biyue coldly. "We are not like her, who can''t do what a lackey should!"


    "Not only is Xi Ruo not afraid of you, our entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three is not afraid of you." Qing Xuan also coldly stated.


    Even if he were to put his life on the line, he wouldn''t betray her.


    "Heh, every bone is so tough, why would there be a need for that?" Jin Se''s face changed, seeing that their attitudes were the same, it was obvious that he was unhappy.


    Mu Lingxi warned her: "Senior Sister Jin Se, even a rabbit would bite if it''s anxious. If you bully our Heavenly Ranked Class Three, there will be a time when you kick an iron plate! Also, don''t forget, our teacher in Heavenly Ranked Class Three, is not someone you can offend. "


    "Don''t use the Master Helian to pressure me." On the surface, Jin Se still looked disdainful, "What''s more, I didn''t do anything. You guys were the ones who were incapable, unable to snatch the mission!"

 C137

    The reason Jin Se did not publicly suppress his Heavenly Ranked Class Three was actually because he was afraid of Helian Yunqian.


    But she had done all sorts of things in secret, snatching all the missions from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three and joining forces with the other two Divine Ranked Class s to isolate them, steal Yunshu, and snatch Book Pavilion. In any case, as long as it was a place where they could suppress her, she would not let it go.


    When the time came, even if Master Helian asked, she could still say that this was just a normal competition. The academy did not impose any rules, saying that competition also violated the academy''s rules.


    "Jin Se, don''t be too arrogant. There will always be someone who can cure you!" Xiao Muran seemed to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he flew up, and the palm wind that he had been accumulating power in, struck out towards Jin Se''s face.


    Jin Se''s expression did not change, his fingers curled up tightly, the wood attribute Spiritual Strength condensed and rose, with a berserk palm strike, Xiao Muran was sent flying. Immediately, Xiao Muran spat out a mouthful of blood, without any strength to retaliate.


    Jin Se stepped forward, stepping on Xiao Muran''s hands, the people at the side started to move, all preparing to attack Jin Se.


    Jin Se glanced at them and said coldly: "Listen up, today you have offended your superiors, and offended your senior sister, so I will punish you. With your hand, I will leave it for you this time, but next time, if you offend me again, you better be careful!"


    After she finished speaking, she moved her foot away. Xiao Muran''s fingerbone had already been trampled into a bloody mess by her foot.


    "Jin Se, don''t go too far!" Mu Lingxi could not hold back anymore and wanted to fight with Jin Se.


    But he knew, even if the rest of them were to be tied together, they might not be Jin Se''s match.


    "What about you?" Jin Se looked down at them from above, "Choose on your own. Either submit, or you know the consequences!"


    "It''s impossible for us to submit to you, so just give up on this idea!" Mu Lingxi''s tone was extremely resolute.


    The corner of Jin Se''s mouth lifted slightly. Snorting coldly, he did not bother to waste words with them anymore: "Alright, since you all don''t know what''s good for you, then I''ll take you all one by one and make you surrender!"


    With that, Jin Se''s palm attack struck again. Just as it was about to land, it was interrupted by a cold male voice.


    "Jin Se, stop!"


    Only then did Jin Se stop and turn around, only to see Shen Shangjing and Lu Qingmo standing at the entrance of the hall.


    "Shang Jing, I ¡­"


    Shen Shangjing walked up and grabbed Jin Se''s wrist: "Jin Se, have you had enough trouble?"


    "Shangjing, what did I do?" Jin Se was immediately displeased, and retorted, "They''ve offended me time and time again, so what if I teach them a lesson?"


    Shen Shangjing scoffed, slightly angry: "As a senior sister of the Advanced Divine Ranked Class, you keep bullying the lower class students. Don''t you feel embarrassed?"


    "Senior Brother, what did you say?" How can you protect them like that, could it be because of Su Xiruo!? " Jin Se curled his fingers tightly, feeling extremely infuriated.


    "Shut up!" Shen Shangjing interrupted her words coldly, "I am truly disappointed in you. I never expected that, as a student of Senior Class, you do not even have this much of a measure! If you continue to make trouble like this, don''t say that you are a student of my Senior Class in the future ¡­ "


    "Shang Jing, I ¡­" In that moment, Jin Se did not know how to explain anything.


    "Scram! Go back and reflect!" Shen Shangjing did not want to hear anything she said and coldly ordered.


    Jin Se was so angry that he could only turn around and leave without saying a word. When he passed by Lu Qingmo, Jin Se gave him a hateful look: "Lu Qingmo, if you continue to report my status in front of Shang Jing, I won''t let you off!"


    She knew, the reason why Shang Jing was able to find out about her whereabouts so quickly was definitely because of Lu Qingmo. She also didn''t know what kind of medicine Lu Qingmo ate wrong, always helping his Heavenly Ranked Class Three and obstructing her!


    After throwing those words, Jin Se left the place in anger. Su Biyue also followed along.


    Shen Shangjing slowly walked to Mu Lingxi''s side and bowed while saying: "My apologies, Jin Se has always been willful and has offended everyone. I apologize on her behalf."


    "Senior Brother Shen is too courteous." Mu Lingxi was more courteous towards Shen Shangjing, "This matter can''t be blamed on others, if you have to blame, you can only blame yourself, our Heavenly Ranked Class Three can''t resist, that''s all."


    Even though these words weren''t nice to hear, it was a fact. Facing a Three-star, they simply didn''t have any room to retaliate.


    Furthermore, for the Spirit Monarch of high level Heavenly Ranked Class, every two of them would listen to Jin Se''s words and would come to suppress them from time to time.


    Shen Shangjing immediately interrupted her: "Don''t belittle yourself, after all you are all low level classes and your strengths are a little weaker, which is also within reason. Jin Se has gone overboard, but don''t worry, when we return, I will definitely teach her a good lesson and won''t let her deliberately go against you."


    "Thank you, Senior Brother Shen." Mu Lingxi thanked him respectfully.


    After finishing his instructions, Shen Shangjing left with Lu Qingmo.


    "Truly going too far, all the people with Senior Class are all so arrogant and despotic, looking down on everyone else!" Once they left, Xiao Muran began to vent the discontent in his heart.


    Bai Yanxi sighed helplessly: "There''s nothing we can do, since they''re from Senior Class, I''m afraid we can only temporarily hide."


    Su Biyue hurriedly caught up to Jin Se''s footsteps, and comforted him: "Senior Sister Jin Se, don''t be angry!"


    Only then did Jin Se stop her steps, her seductive face had an additional tinge of anger on it: I am only lecturing a few low level students, is Shang Jing really that angry?


    "Senior Sister, calm down." "Today when Senior Brother Shen saved me, I was also very surprised. After all, in the past, he was never related to our Heavenly Ranked Class Three, ever since we met Su Xiruo ¡­"


    Su Biyue did not continue, but she had the confidence that these words would cause Jin Se to explode in the end.


    "Su Xiruo, it''s because of that Su Xiruo again!" Jin Se gritted his teeth in hatred, "When she comes out, I will definitely pull her tendons and skin off. I will make her die a horrible death!"


    If Su Xiruo had not bewitched Shang Jing, how could Shang Jing have the time to meddle in the affairs of the Elementary Classes?


    "Yes, Senior Sister. We have all the chance. We can teach Su Xiruo a lesson when she has come out of seclusion." Su Biyue also replied along with her.


    "But what now?" Jin Se curled his fingers tightly, as if he did not know what to do, "Shang Jing already said that I am not allowed to go and bully Heavenly Ranked Class Three, but I am not willing!"


    Su Biyue smiled, he already had a plan in his mind: "That''s right, Senior Brother Shen did say those words, but that does not mean that we cannot suppress them."


    "What do you mean?" Jin Se did not understand.


    Su Biyue then explained to her, "As long as it is on the surface, Senior Sister will behave a little and don''t let Senior Brother Shen know, wouldn''t it be possible for her to continue suppressing Senior Brother Shen secretly? Even with those lowly bones of theirs, they would definitely not take the initiative to ask for Senior Brother Shen''s help. "


    "Heh, you''re right." Jin Se naturally would not let this matter rest. She had to let Su Xiruo see a chaotic set of Heavenly Ranked Class Three after he came out of seclusion.


    "Also." Su Biyue raised his voice on purpose, and continued, "I heard that in a few more days, Senior Brother Shen will be out on a mission, and after he leaves, it might take a few months. As long as Senior Brother Shen leaves, Senior Sister, aren''t you unscrupulous?


    "That''s right!" Jin Se suddenly thought of something, "Shang Jing is about to go out to complete a mission, Ah, this is a good opportunity, I cannot give it up so easily!"


    Following that, she cast a satisfied look at Su Biyue: "Recently, your performance has been pretty good."


    After receiving the praise, Su Biyue was extremely happy in his heart, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your praise. As long as I can serve Senior Sister, I am willing to do anything for you."


    She knew clearly in her heart that she was slowly gaining Jin Se''s trust. However, she had to work even harder so that Jin Se would completely trust her. Only by doing this would she be able to kill using this as an excuse.

 C138

    After that, it had not even been ten days and he had initially thought that Jin Se had calmed down after hearing Shen Shangjing''s lesson. But who knew that very quickly, Jin Se would make a comeback again, and this time, the blow had become even more severe!


    She activated her network in the entire academy, desperately trying to squeeze out the people within Heavenly Ranked Class Three. Not only was there no mission to accept, once she went to the Duel Yard, she would also become the enemy of everyone present!


    In short, in the entire Academy, anyone who got close to the Heavenly Ranked Class Three would meet a bad end.


    On this day, Su Biyue was alone. He sneaked into the back mountain of the academy to check on Su Xiruo''s progress.


    Every step she took in the rear mountain was filled with caution, as if she were afraid that she would be discovered.


    Suddenly, she sensed a strong wave of Spiritual Strength in front of her. In the air, the golden light was dazzling.


    She saw Su Xiruo, cultivating Spiritual Skill in the bamboo forest that was not far away from them. The leaves of the bamboo withered and fell, slowly falling, giving off a kind of paradise.


    Just as Su Biyue was about to get closer, he was suddenly swept away by a white Spiritual Strength. He then raised his head and looked at Yun Qian''s cold face in panic.


    "Master Helian, I ¡­" In that moment, Su Biyue was actually a little incoherent.


    "Don''t you know about the academy''s forbidden area?" Yun Qian narrowed his eyes. That icy tone of his was powerful enough to freeze someone to death.


    Su Biyue hurriedly explained to himself, "You''re mistaken, I''m only worried about Xiruo, I just wanted to see her, and didn''t intentionally barge into this forbidden area."


    Separated by a little distance, Su Biyue could feel the anger around Yun Qian''s body. Instantly, his legs went soft, and he did not dare to speak carelessly.


    "No need, you can go." Yun Qian didn''t give her any face, nor did he even look at her. His tone was unquestionable.


    "Yes ¡­" "Yes!" Su Biyue never thought that he would be so cautious, to be discovered by the Master Helian in an instant. He could only get up from the ground and leave with his face covered in dirt.


    It seemed like she could forget about entering this forbidden area. With Yun Qian standing guard here, it was likely that no one would be able to enter.


    If that was the case, she could only wait for Su Xiruo to come out of seclusion. But thinking about it, she felt that she couldn''t accept it, and she could only pray in her heart that Su Xiruo definitely hadn''t broken through the Spirit Monarch!


    Night descended, and the mountains behind the academy grew even more serene. Only the occasional sound of the wind could be heard.


    Borrowing the light from the fire, Yun Qian was currently wrapping the big and small wounds on Su Xiruo''s arms and body. Su Xiruo was still focused on looking at the Poison Book, not willing to waste any time at all.


    "Enough, stop looking." Seeing how engrossed she was, Yun Qian wanted to interrupt her at the right time, "Let''s rest for a while."


    In this period of time, it was as if Xi Ruo had been injected with chicken blood. She cultivated day and night, wanting to break through the Spirit Monarch as soon as possible without caring about her own body. Her entire body was covered with wounds every day, and she had almost forced him to become a doctor when he followed her.


    As for his words, Su Xiruo acted as if he did not hear them, as his attention was completely focused on the Poison Book, not even moving his gaze away.


    Yun Qian let out a helpless sigh and snatched the Poison Book from her hands. With a gentle tone, he said, "Xiruo, rest for a while. We''ll continue watching it tomorrow."


    "It''s fine, I can still watch a bit more today." Su Xiruo did not mind at all, "With my current progress, wanting to break through the Spirit Monarch in half a year might be a little difficult."


    "Xiruo ¡­"


    "Yun Qian, I know what you want to say." Su Xiruo interrupted him, her tone sounding extremely serious, "Flying Feather, do I have to get it? The situation is special now, if I do not put in more effort, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to win against Long Mochen, so this time, please let me be more serious. "


    Yun Qian did not say anymore and handed the Poison Book back to her. She quietly looked at her engrossed expression, and was slightly moved.


    He hoped that her hard work would pay off in the end.


    Time passed by very quickly, and the four seasons alternated. Unknowingly, four months had passed by, and the bamboo forest had become even more lush and lush.


    Within the bamboo forest, a golden light streaked across the sky. The bamboo sticks were all unscathed. In the next second, the bamboo leaves that had been crushed to pieces quickly fell and turned into sharp blades, creating many cracks on the ground.


    The golden light slowly faded as Su Xiruo''s body lightly floated up into the air. Stepping on the wind, he felt that the Spiritual Strength on his four limbs, was more than ten times stronger than before.


    If it was now, if she was allowed to handle Lin Yuan''s Nine Star Heavenly Spirit Master, he would probably be able to kill her in one move!


    So this was the difference between Heavenly Spirit Master and the Spirit Monarch. The difference was simply like the difference between cloud and mud!


    "He actually broke through the Spirit Monarch so quickly." When Yun Qian saw this, he also felt that it was inconceivable.


    He had originally thought that this girl would need at least another month before she could cross over the bottleneck of this Spirit Monarch.


    "Yun Qian, can I come out now?" Su Xiruo asked excitedly, as if he could clearly feel every part of his body changing the way he spoke.


    The current her was simply filled with confidence. Even if she was asked to immediately fight with Jin Se, she felt that she could fight!


    "Congratulations my wife, you can leave early."


    Having been isolated from the world for over four months in the rear mountains, time passed by rather quickly. Unknowingly, there were only less than two months until the competition, and now, she had finally succeeded in her wish and advanced her Spirit Monarch.


    Su Xiruo raised his hand slightly, and the golden Spiritual Strength slowly condensed at the tip of his finger. Six Xi Yan began to rise into the air.


    The surrounding vegetation had already been burnt.


    "Yun Qian, I would like to try it out. I can now display the true power of the Sakura Thrust." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth rose. Right after he finished speaking, the Xi Yan had already rushed towards Yun Qian''s face like lightning, even the air had been twisted by the scorching yang attribute Spiritual Strength!


    That speed is so fast that even Spirit Monarch s might not be able to dodge it.


    Yun Qian stood in his original position, without any intention to dodge. When the Xi Yan was just a hair''s breadth away from his pupils, he lightly flicked his sleeves.


    In the next second, the six Xi Yan s lined up together and stabbed into the bamboo at the side. It looked no different from a normal concealed weapon.


    Even though Su Xiruo''s eyes did not blink, he still could not see clearly how this fellow had used his hand just now, to actually be able to instantly destroy the powerful Spiritual Strength that came along with his own Spiritual Artifact.


    In his eyes, his own Heavenly Ranked and Spiritual Artifact s were probably no different from normal concealed weapons.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo was a little disappointed: "It doesn''t seem to be that different from four months ago."


    Seeing the situation, Yun Shuang hurriedly comforted, "Xiruo, the power of your Cherry Blossom, has increased by a lot. It''s just that to me, there''s no difference."


    These words were comforting to him, but in Xiruo''s eyes, it was an even greater blow.


    In the eyes of a Spirit Sovereign, how much of a difference could there be between Heavenly Spirit Master and Spirit Monarch?


    Helplessly letting out a sigh, Su Xiruo did not want to continue seeking a setback for himself, so he changed the topic: "Forget it, I''ll come out of closed door cultivation first. I''ll tell Ling Xi and the others the good news first."


    After she finished speaking, she habitually held onto Yun Qian''s hand, intending to go out and take a good breath. At this time, Yun Qian pulled her back, "Wait, Xiruo."


    Su Xiruo turned around, saw that his expression was strange, and asked: "What''s wrong?"


    "Now that you have advanced to the Spirit Monarch, I am relieved." "Currently, I am also on the verge of advancing. I will need some time in seclusion to not leave the rear mountains with you."


    "How long will it take for me to go into seclusion?" Su Xiruo curiously asked.


    Yun Qian did not know how to answer this question, "I don''t know if I can come out before the competition begins."


    "The competition is still close to two months away." Su Xiruo was only slightly surprised, "What level is it exactly? Even two months of closed door cultivation is not enough?"

 C139

    Yun Qian''s talent was not any worse than his. If he had not advanced to a higher level, why would he need to spend so much time to break through that final bottleneck?


    Could it be? Thinking of this, she didn''t dare to continue her train of thoughts.


    Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, "I''ll try my best to come out before the competition. Then, I''ll see for myself how you''ll get the top spot."


    Although he was a little disappointed, Su Xiruo did not say much. He took out the Red Jade Marrow Ring that he had given to him earlier and passed it to him: "Then you should keep this ring.


    "Keep this ring." Yun Qian held her hand gently, making her put the ring away, "At a critical moment, this ring might be able to save your life."


    "Save my life?" Su Xiruo did not understand what he meant, "How does this ring save me?"


    Yun Qian then said: "This ring is called Chao Yue, it is a high grade keepsake for Mercenary Group, and can be considered as... For a Spiritual Artifact, other than being able to increase Master''s cultivation speed, it can also help you block an attack at a critical moment. "


    "Is it really that magical?" Su Xiruo looked at the storage ring on his palm, after hearing what he said, he immediately felt that it was strange, if he could block the enemy''s attack, wouldn''t that mean that there was no need to be afraid of any opponent?


    "With your current strength, after using this skill once, you probably won''t be able to use it again for a month or two." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as he smiled faintly, "Therefore, I feel that you should leave this life-saving skill for the time being in the competition before using it. Unless you have no other choice, do not take it out!"


    "This... Just what kind of Spiritual Artifact are they? " Su Xiruo looked at the ring on his hand. He couldn''t really tell what rank it was at.


    Even with his own Spirit Monarch, he could only use this Spiritual Artifact''s technique once, for two months, it was obvious that he could only use it once. If not for his extremely powerful strength, he would not have been able to control it!


    "I''m not by your side during this time. Be careful by yourself." "Liu Sheng will be protecting me. If there is an urgent matter, you can also come and find me immediately."


    Hearing his tone, Su Xiruo knew that he must not stop this closed door cultivation, if not, not only would it increase the difficulty, it would also harm his vitality.


    However, Su Xiruo didn''t say it directly, but nodded his head obediently: "I will be careful."


    After she returned to the Pear Garden, she focused on cultivation and didn''t cause any trouble for Yun Qian.


    After everything was settled, Su Xiruo left the back mountain. He took a deep breath of the air in the Mercenary Academy, as if he was born from another world, and felt something different.


    As she was walking on the road, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere was off. Many students were all heading towards the Duel Yard. Could it be that something big was going to happen to the Duel Yard?


    Therefore, Su Xiruo blocked the path of a student, and asked: "What happened to Duel Yard today, why did you all go that way?"


    "Of course we''re going to watch a good show!" The student looked eager.


    "A good show?" What kind of show is this? " Su Xiruo slightly frowned, he did not quite understand.


    The student explained to her, "You don''t even know this? Heavenly Ranked Class Three ah, the students of Heavenly Ranked Class Three offended Senior Sister Chu Qingci and stole her mission, now that Senior Sister Chu is unhappy, she wants to execute the person who stole her mission! "


    "What?" "Execution?" Su Xiruo''s fingers curled up tightly as his expression changed. His original smile had completely disappeared, to be replaced with a sinister face, and it became terrifyingly gloomy. "Heh, the student who executed Heavenly Ranked Class Three, did you ask me about that?"


    He had only been away for more than four months. What kind of great change had happened to cause him to even dare to touch her Heavenly Ranked Class Three?


    The student looked at Su Xiruo blankly and could not help but ask, "You ¡­ "You are?"


    Su Xiruo did not reply him. She turned and walked in the direction of the Duel Yard.


    In the center of the Duel Yard, a purple clothed lady was holding her sword proudly. Xiao Muran was being pushed by two other students, and the blade in the purple clothed lady''s hand just happened to be aimed at his finger bone.


    walked in front of her, and taunted. "Bai Yanxi, don''t meddle in other people''s business, Senior Sister Jin Se said that if the people from your Heavenly Ranked Class Three took away her mission, then you should chop off their hands, don''t worry, it will be your turn next!"


    Bai Yanxi really wanted to break free from his restraints and give Su Biyue a slap on the face, "Su Biyue, no matter what, you are still a member of Heavenly Ranked Class Three. Aren''t you afraid of retribution if you try to take advantage of me?"


    "Retribution?" Su Biyue snorted coldly, disagreeing with him, "What retribution can there be? You guys have never truly treated me like this before, but now, you''re actually talking about some sort of relationship with me? "


    "Su Biyue." At this time, the purple-clothed woman called out to her.


    Su Biyue''s face changed and immediately became a flattering mask: "Senior Sister Chu, what orders do you have?"


    The woman smiled. "There''s no need to argue with her. I''ll leave this stubborn woman to you later!"


    "Thank you, Senior Sister." Su Biyue was extremely pleased and immediately thanked him.


    "Traitor, scum!" At this time, Xiao Muran could not help but curse at her, but she was held back even more tightly by the two students.


    The purple-dressed woman turned around and looked down at Xiao Muran with a condescending gaze. Her tone was extremely arrogant: "You can''t even protect yourself now, how can you still be so stubborn? He was overestimating himself! If you beg for mercy, perhaps I can keep one of your hands. "


    "So what if you''re overestimating yourself? At least I won''t become a traitor!" Xiao Muran glared at her coldly, not showing any signs of yielding.


    Su Biyue stood at the side with his fingers curled tightly, as if he was extremely angry whenever he heard the word "traitor".


    "There''s more!" Xiao Muran continued, "The mission that you talked about that was stolen from us in the first place, and we accepted it first. Everyone just relied on their own abilities, and now that you guys have failed to compete for the mission through your Senior Class, you start to act shameless, saying that we snatched the mission away? Heh, what a joke! I feel ashamed for all of you! "


    "Shut up!" The purple clothed lady slapped him hard, interrupting his speech. The sword in her hand pierced the back of Xiao Muran''s hand, and in that instant, fresh blood flowed out.


    Ah!


    The purple-dressed woman gave a cold snort and said: "If you beg me, I''ll let you have your hand!"


    "Chu Qingci, don''t go too far!" Being held back by the two students, Bai Yanxi was unable to break free from the restraints, and could only curse, "Bulldog who bullies others, don''t be too arrogant!"


    Xiao Muran''s finger bones were tightly curled, and he endured the pain from his palm as he retorted coldly: "Begging for mercy? "Heh, go dream on!"


    "Alright, you asked for it!" Chu Qingci did not have much patience, she increased the power in her hand, and in the next second, the weapon in her hand was shot down to the ground by the light force.


    A "clang" sound was heard. Instantly, all the students were slightly shocked.


    exactly who was it that dared to even meddle in the matters of Senior Class; they were truly bold to the point of covering the sky!


    "Who?" Chu Qingci was furious and angry at the same time, he immediately looked around, and his gaze landed on the young lady who was walking over, and coldly scolded: "Are you courting death?"


    "Xiruo?" When Bai Yanxi saw Su Xiruo appearing, he was extremely excited, to the point that he was about to struggle free, "Let go of me!"


    "Don''t move!" The two students held onto Bai Yanxi tightly, not allowing her to move.


    "Let her go." Su Xiruo''s cherry lips slightly opened and her tone was light.


    However, the two students disdained him. "Who do you think you are ¡­"


    Suddenly, before the two of them could finish speaking, they were flung away by Su Xiruo with a palm. They immediately spat out blood, both of them fainting.


    Following that, Su Xiruo''s eyebrows twitched, and her gaze landed on the two students holding Xiao Muran captive.

 C140

    "Pah!"


    Following that, another palm struck, and the two students'' bodies flew out. Su Xiruo walked forward and helped Xiao Muran up, completely ignoring Chu Qingci''s furious gaze.


    "You dare to oppose me, are you courting death?"


    Su Biyue stood at the side and was so shocked that he couldn''t even speak, as he was inexplicably a little nervous in his heart.


    "Xiruo, you ¡­" Xiao Muran looked at Su Xiruo in shock. He probably did not expect her to appear here.


    Su Xiruo calmly replied: "I just came out, are you alright?"


    "Heh, what can I do about it? This dog that is relying on his power to bully others is nothing more than a desperate dog that dares to jump over a wall!" Xiao Muran did not forget to taunt Chu Qingci.


    Chu Qingci, who was at the side, saw that Su Xiruo was ignoring him and was busy chatting, and became even more flustered: "Did you hear what I said?"


    At this time, Xiao Muran said to Su Xiruo in a low voice, "Xiruo, this woman has Senior Class. She has already reached one star in her Spirit Monarch.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo only replied with this one word.


    Seeing that Su Xiruo already treated her as transparent person, Chu Qingci did not know how much atmosphere there was. His palm condensed a berserk water attribute Spiritual Strength and rushed towards Su Xiruo''s back: "How dare you interfere with my business, I will make you die a graveless death!"


    "Xiruo, be careful!" Bai Yanxi and Xiao Muran spoke at almost the same time.


    Su Xiruo shot a cold glance at Chu Qingci from the corner of his eye before he quickly got up and grabbed Chu Qingci''s arm that was attacking him.


    Chu Qingci''s expression changed, he felt that she had grabbed his arm, and was unable to move.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo''s fingerbone gently spun, and Chu Qingci''s arm let out a "Kacha" sound. Accompanied by Chu Qingci''s miserable scream, he was thrown out like trash by Su Xiruo.


    At this moment, the spectating students sighed ceaselessly, as if they felt it to be inconceivable.


    Just who was this young girl? She was actually able to beat Senior Sister Chu without giving her the strength to fight back.


    Chu Qingci seemed to not have yet reacted, she hugged her arm that was in a dislocated position, and slowly crawled up from the ground while looking at Su Xiruo with a slightly frightened expression, "You ¡­ "You are?"


    "Heavenly Ranked Class Three, Su Xiruo." Her voice was not very loud, but her few words were enough to shock Chu Qingci.


    Chu Qingci''s eyes widened, feeling that it was somewhat inconceivable. "You ¡­ You are Su Xiruo? "


    How could it be, how could it be her?


    She remembered that previously, she had heard that Su Xiruo was only a Eight-star, but during that short exchange just now, she could feel that this girl''s strength was definitely higher than hers!


    Could it be that in just four short months, this girl had already broken through her Spirit Monarch?


    Spirit Monarch could actually appear in the lower classes, it was truly rare, no wonder even Senior Sister Jin Se did not underestimate this Su Xiruo.


    "You just said, you want to teach our Heavenly Ranked Class Three''s people a lesson?" Su Xiruo opened his mouth and asked, "Is that true?"


    After being asked to this point, it was obvious that Chu Qingci felt a bit guilty, so he deliberately found an excuse: "Then it''s because ¡­ Your Heavenly Ranked Class Three stole our Senior Class''s mission, I was only giving them a warning! "


    "Stealing missions?" Su Xiruo laughed and said, "Stealing missions is a matter of individual ability. Do you really think that just because you Senior Class students were taken away by a mission, you would want to cut off other people''s hands? If you really have the ability, you can just snatch it back, no? "


    Chu Qingci''s finger bones were curled tightly, and for a moment, he didn''t know how to answer this question: "Su Xiruo, are you going to go against our Senior Class?"


    "You said the opposite." Su Xiruo interrupted her words coldly, "Your Senior Class was the first to target me. "From now on, if you have any tricks, just come at me!"


    Her tone was full of confidence, as if no one was afraid of her.


    Since these people wanted to target her at every turn, there was nothing for her to avoid. There was no need to be courteous to this so-called Senior Sister!


    If it was anyone else who was polite to her, she would naturally be respectful. However, if someone else dared to offend her, no matter what kind of status he had, she would still take care of them one by one!


    "Alright!" Chu Qingci coldly snorted, "Don''t regret it, don''t think that just because you defeated a one star Spirit Monarch, you can contend against us!"


    With that, Chu Qingci crawled up from the ground, called a few students who were following her, and said softly: "Let''s go!"


    She felt that she was not this girl''s opponent, so she decided not to seek trouble, and let Senior Sister Jin Se personally teach her a lesson!


    "Halt!" At this time, Su Xiruo called out to them coldly, giving them a noncommittal smile, "Did I allow you guys to leave?"


    Did this Chu Qingci really think that after doing all sorts of things, he could just leave?


    Chu Qingci was startled, he suddenly stopped his steps and asked unhappily: "What do you mean by that?"


    "You maliciously injured my friends. Shouldn''t you apologize to them before leaving?" The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised a little, as if he was smiling yet not smiling, as if he wanted Chu Qingci to apologize to them in front of everyone.


    With Chu Qingci''s personality, he would naturally be extremely unhappy, and scolded angrily. "Su Xiruo, don''t go too far ¡­ "Ahhh!"


    Before she even finished speaking, Su Xiruo threw out two Xi Yan s which pierced into Chu Qingci''s kneecaps and forced her to kneel down.


    In a split-second, the students at the side were so shocked that their eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. This Su Xiruo, he was truly audacious, to actually be able to force his Senior Sister to kneel down and apologize!


    What happened now was definitely unprecedented.


    "You''d better hurry." Su Xiruo coldly warned, "Otherwise, if I don''t have patience, I will cripple all of your four limbs! Don''t mention Senior Sister Jin Se to me, I''m not afraid of her! "


    Chu Qingci trembled as he knelt on the ground. Looking at the condescending expression in Su Xiruo''s eyes, he wanted to stand up, but no one dared to help him. Even Su Biyue dared to stand at the side and watch.


    At this moment, she was crying out that Tian Tian was not responding, that she wasn''t responding!


    As Chu Qingci remained calm and collected, he turned to Bai Yanxi and said: "Yan Xi, cut off her hand!"


    "Alright!" Of course, Bai Yanxi would wish nothing more than that as he happily took out a dagger from his sleeves.


    "No, no, no!" Finally, Chu Qingci was afraid, and his tone softened, "I''m apologizing, I''ll just apologise!"


    Therefore, she turned to Xiao Muran and Bai Yanxi and said: "Today''s matter, it was my fault. I should not have hurt you guys unnecessarily, I apologize to you now, please forgive me!"


    After saying that, she lowered her head as if she felt that she had lost all her dignity. With so many people looking at her apologizing to the two students from the low-level classes, she was afraid that she would not be able to be a proper person in the future!


    "At least you''re sensible." With regards to his performance, Su Xiruo was relatively satisfied, "Scram! This can be considered a small punishment. If I were to encounter you stirring up trouble again, it wouldn''t be so simple!


    With Su Xiruo''s permission, Chu Qingci immediately had her supported up, and left the Duel Yard in a sorry state.


    At this time, Su Biyue had also kept silent and secretly followed behind Chu Qingci, but he had long since been discovered by Su Xiruo.


    "Su Biyue." Su Xiruo coldly called out to her.


    Su Biyue''s heart suddenly skipped a beat and he stood in place, scared speechless for a while. "I ¡­ "Me!"


    "Xiruo, this Su Biyue is a traitor to our Heavenly Ranked Class Three!" Xiao Muran pointed at Su Biyue, her eyes filled with hatred, "Now, she has already sided with Jin Se!"


    Su Biyue subconsciously took a step back. He was at a loss of what to do as he watched Su Xiruo slowly approached, "You, what are you trying to do?"


    Su Xiruo walked over unhurriedly and without saying a word, he slapped her across the face.


    "You ¡­"


    Before he could finish his words, another slap landed on his face. It was crisp and clean!


    "These two slaps are not a lesson, but a traitor who dealt with my Heavenly Ranked Class Three." Su Xiruo''s voice wasn''t loud, but it was incomparably cold.

 C141

    "I am not a traitor!" Su Biyue held onto her red and swollen cheeks, while trying to argue for herself.


    "Heh, Su Biyue, you really can''t blush when you say something that goes against your will!" When Bai Yanxi heard this, he really wanted to rush up and beat her up, "Who is it that tells Jin Se about the internal situation of our Heavenly Ranked Class Three? If not for you, we would not have been messed up by Jin Se from the beginning! "


    Su Biyue secretly looked around, listening to the other students'' comments and comments, most of them saying that she was a traitor, and in that moment, it was as though his self-esteem had exploded.


    "So she''s actually a traitor to Heavenly Ranked Class Three ¡­"


    "I heard that when she was chased out of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three by the Senior Sister Gu, she was taken in kind-heartedly by the Master Helian.


    "He really doesn''t know how to judge a person''s face and heart!"


    Su Biyue''s fingers were curled tightly as he lowered his head. He was so humiliated that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. In the end, he could not hold back and exploded: "Su Xiruo, what qualifications do you have to talk about me?"


    "So what if you take me in? All of you from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three have the same heart, but I am just an outsider. What fault do I have for liking the Master Helian? Why, they are all for you! I am in this Heavenly Ranked Class Three, what rights do I have? "


    After saying these words, Su Biyue instantly felt much better.


    "Heh, very good." Su Xiruo nodded his head, "Since you hate us so much, then congratulations, release! From today onwards, you no longer have anything to do with my Heavenly Ranked Class Three, and whoever you wish to follow will be our enemy. I will never show mercy to you again!"


    Su Biyue laughed at himself, and agreed right away: "Alright, Su Xiruo, but don''t be too arrogant, you think that no one can treat you with this Mercenary Academy, I will wait for the day you lose, and as for Yun Qian, I will take it upon myself!"


    After throwing those words, Su Biyue turned and quickly left, no longer wanting to continue to embarrass himself.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you." Bai Yanxi was still a little angry, "Xiruo, this Su Biyue is too hateful, you should teach her a lesson instead."


    "Let''s go back first." Su Xiruo looked at Xiao Muran''s bleeding palm and spoke indifferently.


    After being humiliated, Chu Qingci immediately ran over to look for Jin Se. Seeing her in a sorry state, Jin Se was extremely surprised.


    "What''s going on? Who injured you like this? "


    Chu Qingci looked completely wronged, her tears were about to fall. "Senior Sister Jin Se, it''s Su Xiruo, it''s her!"


    Jin Se frowned slightly, thinking that he had misheard. "Su Xiruo? She ¡­ Isn''t he cultivating in seclusion? "


    "Just now, I was dealing with Xiao Muran and Bai Yanxi at Duel Yard. Who knew that Su Xiruo would suddenly appear?" Chu Qingci then roughly repeated what happened just now.


    After Jin Se finished listening, he turned pale with fright and cursed in displeasure, "Such a useless thing, don''t you know how to fight back?"


    "I... I also want to fight back, but it seems that I am not a match for Su Xiruo. " Chu Qingci lowered his head, too embarrassed to even say such words.


    After all, losing to a student in a low-level class was a matter of great humiliation to them.


    Jin Se slapped the table and stood up, and could not help but say: "You are simply throwing all of our Senior Class''s face, I do not believe, that a Su Xiruo, exactly how strong can he be!"


    If even Chu Qingci was not her opponent, that meant, Su Xiruo at least had the strength of his Spirit Monarch!


    However, even if it was just Spirit Monarch, it was at most a one star Spirit Monarch. To her, it wouldn''t pose any threat.


    "Yes, Senior Sister Jin Se." Chu Qingci slightly nodded his head, and hurriedly said, "As long as you personally make a move, that damned girl Su Xiruo, will never be able to get up again!"


    "Alright, then I''ll go meet her." Jin Se was too lazy to wait any longer, he decided to head to the Pear Garden now to meet that Su Xiruo!


    Pear Garden.


    Su Xiruo sat in the main seat as he listened to their narration of what had happened in the past four months.


    "That''s about it." "Thus, in these past four months, we have practically not been able to receive any missions. Every single time, we would be cut off halfway by Jin Se, no matter if we were to go to Book Pavilion, Duel Yard, or even Yunshu, they would all be pushed aside. When we reach the back, we would even have to step on the other two low-level Divine Ranked Class s!"


    Hearing to this point, Su Xiruo helplessly sighed, feeling guilty. "I''m sorry, but it''s all because of me, I really didn''t know, that in this period of time, so many things actually happened, and it''s all my fault that I implicated everyone."


    "Xiruo, don''t say such words." "We didn''t want to disturb your closed door cultivation, so we didn''t tell you. And most of this matter was caused by Su Biyue trying to sow discord, it has nothing to do with you."


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head: "No matter what, this matter started because of me, so I will think of a way!"


    "We''ll settle this together. Now that you''ve returned, we can feel a lot more at ease." Bai Yanxi laughed, but when he thought about the matter with Duel Yard, he became a little excited, "You guys didn''t see Chu Qingci''s expression, it was too funny!"


    "That woman is just a lackey for Jin Se. Let''s see what she''s going to do now."


    Suddenly, the sound of a door being broken came from outside, instantly breaking the peaceful atmosphere.


    He saw Jin Se dressed in red, walking in arrogantly with a few followers behind him. Their faces were cold and murderous, as if they were going to eat the person in the next second.


    In the end, her gaze locked onto Su Xiruo''s body, and spoke with an extremely provocative tone: "Su Xiruo, it''s been a long time since we last met!"


    Everyone stood up and became more alert: "Jin Se, what are you doing here again?"


    Jin Se did not care about them in the slightest. His gaze of hatred had already landed on Su Xiruo alone: "You hit my person.


    "If you want to fight, go to the Duel Yard. Attacking here would be in violation of the academy''s rules!" Mu Lingxi would do the same, "Jin Se, as an academy with Senior Class, you can''t be thinking of using your own body to offend others, right?"


    Jin Se scoffed, and the thing he could not bear to hear the most was this: "What kind of academy rules are you talking about, I''m teaching the lower classes, what are the true rules!"


    Then, she said to Su Xiruo: "You have injured my man, so you will have to pay the price. Now, do you dare to accept my challenge?"


    Su Xiruo stood up and walked forward, facing her gaze, without a shred of fear: "Senior Sister Jin Se, I don''t have time to receive your boring war letter."


    Jin Se laughed, and just as he was about to say that she was a turtle who had hidden herself, Su Xiruo changed the topic, "But today, you intruded into my Pear Garden with ill intentions and disturbed the tranquility of my Heavenly Ranked Class Three, I really should give you a lesson to try."


    Her meaning was very clear. She didn''t want to accept the war letter, she wanted to teach you a lesson!


    "Hehe, what an arrogant tone!" "A mere one star Spirit Monarch dares to act so arrogantly in front of me? Today, I will teach you a lesson!"


    With that, a wood attribute Spiritual Strength condensed around Jin Se''s body. It looked gentle but it had a faint oppressive feeling around it, pressuring everyone else to the point that they were unable to breathe.


    The strength of their Spirit Monarch was indeed much more terrifying than what they had imagined!


    "Xiruo, she is a Three-star cultivator, are you really confident in being able to deal with her?" Mu Lingxi reminded her in a low voice.


    "I''m not sure, but I still have to try." Su Xiruo quietly replied.


    In fact, in her heart, she wasn''t very confident in fighting Jin Se, but if Jin Se had already humiliated her to such an extent, then even if she had to put her life on the line, she would still want to see it for herself!


    "Bring it on!" Jin Se unleashed his attack with all his strength, wanting to kill this girl who overestimated herself with a single move. Everyone widened their eyes, and their hearts were covered in cold sweat for Su Xiruo.

 C142

    The golden Spiritual Strength on Su Xiruo''s palm was about to pop out as well. Frowning slightly, he seemed to feel that Jin Se''s Spiritual Strength was obviously stronger than his.


    Just when she thought that she would lose to Jin Se, suddenly, from the sleeves, the Chinese Kite sneaked out. A wave of light and light Spiritual Strength entered Su Xiruo''s palm, seemingly light and graceful, but in reality, it was extremely violent, instantly knocking Jin Se back to the ground.


    "Ah ¡­" Jin Se was shocked by the sudden increase in Spiritual Strength, he dropped to the ground and did not even react, "This ¡­ How is that possible? "


    He had clearly thought that he had won, but in that instant, that girl''s Spiritual Strength had become stronger. What exactly was going on?


    Su Xiruo secretly thanked Mu Jin as he took out his Can Meng and attacked Jin Se''s face. In the next second, he was pushed away by a light and light force.


    "Junior Sister, please show mercy!"


    Shen Shangjing hurriedly appeared and helped Jin Se up, his tone was still rather polite.


    "Is Senior Shen trying to cover up her crimes?" Facing a five star Spirit Monarch, Su Xiruo did not have any intention of giving in.


    Shen Shangjing cupped his fists towards Su Xiruo: "Junior sister, I am truly sorry. When I return, I will definitely teach this girl who doesn''t follow the rules a lesson. I hope that you will calm your anger, junior sister, and don''t mind it!"


    "Sang Jing!" Jin Se immediately cried, acting pitiful in front of Shen Shangjing, "What are you afraid of her for? Hurry and help me teach this woman a lesson! "


    "Enough, don''t you think it''s shameful enough?" Shen Shangjing frowned slightly as he shouted at her in anger.


    Being yelled at like that, Jin Se was at a loss of what to do. "Shang Jing, I ¡­"


    "You randomly barged into this Pear Garden, and now you still want to be tyrannical? Can''t you keep on making mistakes?" Shen Shangjing glared at her coldly and ordered, "Hurry up and apologize to Junior Sister!"


    Hearing his words, Jin Se looked at Shen Shangjing in astonishment, tears almost falling down from her eyes. "You made me ¡­ Apologize to her? "


    "That''s right, apologize immediately!" Shen Shangjing seemed to be a little impatient, he continued, "Otherwise, I will throw you directly to the Great Clan Elder and let him handle it!"


    There was no doubt about his tone. There was no room for negotiation.


    Due to the pressure, Jin Se''s finger bones tightened into a ball, and he could only lower his head, unwillingly saying to Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, I''m in the wrong today, sorry."


    Following that, Shen Shangjing also said to Su Xiruo: "Junior sister, on account of Jin Se''s sincere apology, you will not remember this lowly one. This time, just forget it!"


    "Heh, Senior Brother Shen, please don''t let her apologize to me. I can''t afford it, nor will I accept it." Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo had rejected Jin Se''s apology without hesitation.


    Immediately, Jin Se''s face changed, "You better know what''s good for you!"


    "Junior sister, please spare me while I''m at it." Shen Shangjing also seemed to be surprised, as he had asked Jin Se to apologize, which could be considered as giving face to their low level classes, and also giving both of them a way out.


    But this girl, Su Xiruo, had actually destroyed all of his steps, he really did not know what was good for him.


    Su Xiruo smiled with disdain. "Senior Brother Shen, for your sake, I can stop pursuing today''s matter, but the relationship between Jin Se and I is not as simple as it is today. It is a matter between her and our Heavenly Ranked Class Three, so I will naturally look for her to explain everything clearly! Senior Brother Shen, please stop interfering! "


    Although her voice was not loud, Shen Shangjing secretly admired the little girl''s courage in his heart.


    This girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, actually dared to openly challenge a Three-star. It had to be said, this required a lot of courage!


    Su Xiruo''s intention was also very simple. What had happened in the past four months, she definitely would not treat it as nothing. Moreover, she would return everything that had happened one by one, and make Jin Se pay the price!


    "Alright, I want to see what kind of ability you have to deal with me!" Jin Se also did not want to be outdone, so he gladly accepted Su Xiruo''s "challenge letter"!


    She did not believe that, with her one star Three-star, she still had to rely on her own Senior Class to support her, so she was not afraid that her one star Spirit Monarch would be insufficient!


    "Jin Se, shut up!" Shen Shangjing interrupted Jin Se coldly and pulled her arm, "Come with me!"


    Following that, Shen Shangjing bade farewell to Su Xiruo: "Junior Sister, I apologize for the matters today. I will apologize to you properly another day, I will take Jin Se and leave today!"


    With that, he pulled Jin Se''s arm and forcefully brought her out of the Pear Garden.


    In the next second, a burst of cheers came out of the main hall. When everyone saw Jin Se''s defeated appearance, they felt extremely good, as if he was proud of himself.


    "Xiruo, I really admire you. You actually dared to say that kind of thing to Jin Se." Mu Lingxi could not help but praise.


    "It''s only just started, the good show is still coming." Su Xiruo smiled meaningfully, as if he had already thought of a plan in his heart.


    "What are you going to do next?" Bai Yanxi curiously asked.


    Su Xiruo didn''t try to hide anything and said straightforwardly: "Didn''t you guys say that during these past four months, Jin Se has frequently stopped our missions? "Since that''s the case, let''s return the favor and snatch her mission!"


    "You mean, snatch the mission from the Senior Class?" Ye Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, he felt that this was not going to work, "But, they are just a group of Spirit Monarch, how can we outdo them?"


    "If we can''t snatch it from him in the open, then we''ll just have to steal it in the dark." Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, as though she had already made her decision to fight Jin Se to the death!


    Shen Shangjing brought Jin Se back to a simple and crude room before releasing her hand.


    "Think about it properly in this place!" Shen Shangjing''s tone was sullen.


    "Why? "Why do you want me to reflect on this? Did I do something wrong?" Jin Se was extremely unreconciled and wanted to argue for himself, "Why do you always interfere when I attack people with Heavenly Ranked Class Three?"


    Shen Shangjing coldly snorted, and said unhappily: "Look at your current appearance, do you still look like a senior sister? Senior Class, will not tolerate narrow-minded people like you! "


    In an instant, Jin Se''s tears could not help but fall and she was already unable to control her emotions, "Isn''t it all because of you that I did this!?"


    "What does that have to do with me?" Shen Shangjing didn''t really understand.


    "Tell me the truth, do you like Su Xiruo?" Jin Se grabbed Shen Shangjing''s sleeve and closely questioned, "Do you like her? So every time, you have to help her?"


    Shen Shangjing shook her hand off: "Jin Se, stop making trouble without reason, and say such ridiculous words!"


    "Am I making trouble for no reason? Am I not speaking the truth?" Jin Se was almost hysterical, "You really do like Su Xiruo, but you''re still not willing to admit it! But, I''m your fiancee. In your heart, what position do you place me in? Say it! "


    "Jin Se, calm down!"


    Jin Se held onto Shen Shangjing''s clothes, and did not let go no matter what, as though he had lost his mind: "If you don''t tell me clearly today, I''ll follow you to the end of the line!"


    "I think you''re crazy!" Shen Shangjing lost his patience and pushed Jin Se away, "Let me tell you, if you continue to make trouble like this, be careful that I might cancel the engagement!"


    The air suddenly became quiet, and Jin Se was shocked by his words, "You ¡­ What did you say? "


    Even though Shang Jing had always been cold towards her, he had never said that he would cancel the engagement. Now, he actually said that he would cancel the engagement in front of her, so she naturally wouldn''t accept.


    "No, no." Jin Se shook his head, and immediately his aura became weaker, "Shang Jing, I beg you, do not cancel the engagement, do not cancel our engagement!"


    "Then you better behave!" Shen Shangjing''s face was still cold as he said, "Next time, if something like this happens again, don''t blame me for not reminding you!"

 C143

    With that, Shen Shangjing turned and left the room without any hesitation. He did not even look at her.


    Originally, the marriage engagement between him and Jin Se, was made with all his might, and was also only done when both sides had their own necessities. He and Jin Se, had never had much relationship, and sometimes, would even want to break away from this relationship!


    Jin Se sat on the ground, watched as the door closed, and his blood-red eyes were filled with hatred: "Su Xiruo, I want you to die a horrible death!"


    She was assured in her heart, that was why Su Xiruo had come to seduce Shang Jing and mesmerize Shang Jing until he was dizzy. That was why he was protected everywhere, but she was clearly Shang Jing''s fiancee!


    She hated Su Xiruo to the core and secretly swore to herself that she would definitely make Su Xiruo pay!


    At this time, Su Biyue''s small voice came from outside the door: "Senior Sister Jin Se, are you inside?"


    "I''m inside." Jin Se immediately stood up and tidied up his slightly messy clothes and wiped away the tears on his face.


    "Senior Sister, I''ll open the door for you. Don''t worry!" Su Biyue took out his weapon and slashed a few times, then finally cut open the door lock. Pushing the door open, he saw the Jin Se who did not have a good complexion, "Senior Sister, what happened to you? I heard from Senior Sister Chu that you just went to the Pear Garden. "


    Could it be that even Senior Sister Jin Se had been humiliated when she went to look for Su Xiruo? Ah, this was too disappointing.


    "Heh, it''s all Su Xiruo''s fault, it''s all her fault!" Jin Se''s eyes seemed to want to cut Su Xiruo into a thousand pieces.


    Su Biyue sighed helplessly, and took a step forward: "Senior Sister, don''t be anxious. We have plenty of chances to deal with Su Xiruo, and the slap on my face was also made just now by her!"


    Only now did Jin Se notice Su Biyue''s red and swollen face. "This Su Xiruo, is truly not afraid of anything in the world! Anyone who dares to offend one is tired of living! "


    Su Biyue also agreed: "She made me lose face in front of everyone, so I hate her to the bone! Senior sister, what do you have to do next, leave it to me. As long as you can deal with Su Xiruo, I''ll do whatever you want! "


    Jin Se snorted, and raised his head: "Now that you have broken off all decorum with them, you can''t help me anymore. As for Su Xiruo, even if you don''t say anything, I still have to deal with her!"


    He dared to steal her fianc¨¦, then don''t think that there would be a good ending!


    The next day, Su Xiruo headed to the front pavilion of the Academy alone to see the Second Elder. Because he heard that the missions in the Senior Class were all accepted from the Second Elder, Chu Yu.


    She wanted to let Jin Se know, that although their Heavenly Ranked Class Three did not cause trouble, they were not pushovers to be trifled with!


    Suddenly, just as he walked in front of the door, Su Xiruo saw a familiar figure walking out.


    Shen Shangjing took the initiative to come forward, "Junior Sister Xiruo, what business do you have with the Second Elder?"


    "Naturally, I have my own matters to attend to, so there''s no need for me to tell you about it." Su Xiruo''s tone was light, with a hint of estrangement.


    "Oh." Shen Shangjing nodded, and continued speaking, "The matter yesterday, I apologize to you again, it was Jin Se''s mistake, I hope Junior Sister does not take it too seriously."


    "Senior Brother Shen doesn''t need to protect me like this." Su Xiruo interrupted him, "Otherwise, I''m afraid that your fiancee will misunderstand me even more. We should try our best to keep our distance."


    Su Xiruo was not stupid, so he could naturally tell that Shen Shangjing''s attitude towards him was a little special. And this, was also the main reason why Jin Se hated him.


    Although she had a clear conscience, it was better to cut through this mess quickly. Only by not leaving the other party any hope would she be able to solve the problem.


    "Junior Sister, these words of yours are to hate even Senior Brother?" Hearing her words, Shen Shangjing was a little disappointed in his heart.


    "That''s not the case." Su Xiruo then explained lightly, "I do not have any hatred towards Senior Brother Shen, but I hope that Senior Brother Shen can treat me as if I was your junior brother or sister, and not give anyone the chance to gossip. Otherwise, it would be bad for you, right?"


    Hearing that, Shen Shangjing also felt guilty, as though her words had hit on his little mind.


    Indeed, four months ago, during the competition, when Shen Shangjing was present, he had developed a good impression of Su Xiruo, which was why he had deliberately created this opportunity, which was why he had met him at Book Pavilion.


    Being indifferently rejected like this by Su Xiruo, Shen Shangjing felt that he could not keep his face anymore. Shen Shangjing then laughed: "Junior Sister is right, Senior Brother has been taught a lesson."


    Su Xiruo did not say anything, but walked into the inner hall by himself. Shen Shangjing turned around and looked at her back, and was in a daze for a while.


    Su Xiruo headed towards the Second Elder''s inner hall, and said to the guard at the door: "I will have to trouble you to inform Second Elder, Su Xiruo from Heavenly Ranked Class Three requests an audience."


    "Very well, the lady will wait here for a moment."


    Therefore, the guard immediately went in to relay the news: "Second Elder, Su Xiruo from Heavenly Ranked Class Three requests to see you, do you want to see or not?"


    After Chu Yu heard this name, he immediately put down what he was doing. "Let her in."


    This was someone from the Master Helian, how could he not see her? If he turned back and this girl went to report to the Master Helian, he would be in trouble.


    "Why is this girl looking for me?" Just as he was muttering, Su Xiruo had already entered.


    "Greetings, Second Elder." Su Xiruo lowered his body slightly, and said politely, "I came here specifically to disturb the Second Clan Elder, please forgive me."


    Chu Yu''s mouth formed a smile: "I won''t be presumptuous, speak, what business do you have with this old man?"


    "Naturally, it''s to accept missions." Su Xiruo blurted out.


    Chu Yu was startled for a moment, and thought that he had misheard, "You low level students can just ask Teacher Liang Si to receive a mission, no need to ask me to receive a mission. The missions here are all difficult, and for you guys, it''s too difficult."


    "I would like to issue a challenge, is that alright?" Su Xiruo''s goal was to accept this kind of quest that would be more difficult.


    Chu Yu sighed helplessly: "Su Xiruo, you have to think this through. Once you accept the mission, if you don''t complete it, it will be a very humiliating thing."


    "Yes, the students have made up their minds." Su Xiruo nodded with incomparable sincerity, "Also, I would like to ask, did Senior Sister Jin Se accept any missions today?"


    Chu Yu opened his eyes wide, he thought that this girl was crazy, "Why are you asking this?"


    "Second Elder, please inform the students first." Su Xiruo wanted to get to the bottom of this.


    Chu Yu was unable to force her, he could only tell her the truth: "Yes, just an hour ago, she just accepted an assassination mission!"


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo''s eyes lit up: This mission, I want to take it!


    "What?" These words nearly made Chu Yu spit out his tea, "Are you sure?"


    Su Xiruo continued to ask: "Is that so? "The academy doesn''t have clear rules. You''re not allowed to accept missions, right?"


    "There is no such rule." Chu Yu looked to be in a difficult situation, "But the target of this assassination, is a nine star Heavenly Spirit Master, are you sure you can do it?"


    Su Xiruo did not hesitate, and nodded his head with incomparable sincerity: "Mn, Second Elder, just give me the mission, I will definitely complete it as soon as possible, and come back to see you!"


    "Fine." Seeing her so stubborn, Chu Yu could not say anything more, and started to introduce the mission, "This time, the target you want to assassinate is a traitor of Great Gan Empire, called Yang Su, whose strength is at 9 stars, and is the commander of the forbidden forces. He is still in the capital, and he has the Mercenary Group by his side, so when you carry out your mission, you must be careful, safety first!"


    "Got it." Su Xiruo was already impatient to set off, "Then Second Elder, I will not speak anymore, before sunset, I will definitely deliver the mission!"


    "Before sunset?" Chu Yu could not help but smile, and nodded slightly, as he probably couldn''t believe it, "Okay, then this old man will wait here for your good news."


    After finishing his instructions, Su Xiruo turned and left in a hurry. Chu Yu sighed helplessly: "Sigh, you really won''t turn back until you''ve crashed into the south wall!"

 C144

    Su Xiruo left the front pavilion and flew up in the air lightly. This was the first time she truly wanted to use the Wind Control Arts since she had levelled up her Spirit Monarch, and she was obviously still not proficient in it.


    If it was at this speed, he would not be able to reach his destination before Jin Se!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo found an empty piece of barren land and called Mu Jin out: "Mu Jin, Mu Jin!"


    Suddenly, a little bird flew out from her sleeve, turned into a human, and appeared in front of her: "Master, you called me out, is something the matter?"


    "How long will it take to get from here to the capital of the Great Gan Empire?" Su Xiruo did not say much and went straight to the point.


    "At most four hours." Mu Jin blurted out.


    With Jin Se''s current Three-star, if he were to use the Wind Control Arts to the Great Gan Empire, he would probably need at least six hours.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo nodded and patted Mu Jin''s shoulders: "Alright, then bring me there quickly."


    Jin Se left a little earlier than her, so he had to finish the mission before Jin Se!


    Mu Jin did not ask any further, and transformed into a gold kite, bending over Su Xiruo, Su Xiruo lightly leaped up, and the gold kite soared with the wind, quickly disappearing into the sky.


    When Su Xiruo arrived at the Yang Mansion, it was already noon. She lightly brushed past the walls of the mansion and carefully sneaked into the mansion.


    At this moment, within a room of the mansion, a black-clothed middle-aged man was seated. He opened a brocade box, and within the box was a dragon robe shining with a golden light.


    Immediately, the middle-aged man chuckled, with a hint of pride in his voice. He had the feeling that if he wore this dragon robe, he would be the ruler of the entire Great Gan Empire!


    Su Xiruo was hiding outside the window, watching everything in the room.


    He was just a commander of a forbidden army. He had some authority, but he thought that he could turn the world upside down. How na?ve!


    She raised her hand and threw out a Xi Yan. Carrying a scorching golden Spiritual Strength, it instantly pierced through the middle-aged man''s neck.


    Ah!


    Su Xiruo lightly patted his hands, and his body turned into a shadow, disappearing from where he stood, as though he did not expect that the mission would actually be completed so smoothly.


    "Someone, there''s an assassin! Quickly catch him!"


    The attendant''s voice reverberated throughout the entire Yang Mansion!


    At this time, Jin Se had just reached the Yang Residence. Upon hearing the servant call for help, he had a bad premonition.


    Thus, she quickly went in to take a look. In the room, she saw Yang Su, who had died a violent death!


    "Yang Su is dead!" Jin Se could not believe his own eyes.


    Could it be that someone had snatched the task away from him and completed it?


    There was actually someone who dared to steal her, Jin Se''s mission.


    Jin Se was so angry that her head hurt, she snorted, turned and left, she had to find out who was the reckless one who even dared to snatch her mission!


    Mercenary Academy.


    When Su Xiruo delivered the mission to deliver the bloodstained concealed weapon into Chu Yu''s hands, Chu Yu turned pale with fright, "This ¡­ Did you really kill this Yang Su? "


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head: "If Second Elder does not believe me, then go ahead and personally check, I even specially left a secret record."


    "No, I did, I did." Chu Yu sighed lightly, upon closer inspection, he suddenly realised that in the short span of four months that he had not met her, this girl seemed to already have the strength of her Spirit Monarch!


    It had not even been a year since they had entered the academy, and their Spirit Monarch had actually risen from five star to Spirit Monarch. At such a speed, many students of Senior Class would not even be able to match up to them!


    If this girl was properly nurtured, she would have a bright future ahead of her!


    "Then, student will take his leave first." Su Xiruo nodded his head slightly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Jin Se running in angrily.


    "Su Xiruo, why are you here?" Jin Se glared viciously at her as an ominous premonition surfaced in his heart.


    "Of course I''m here to take a mission." Su Xiruo replied indifferently.


    Jin Se scoffed, thinking that she was joking with him, "How can the people from your low level class have the qualifications to come to the Second Elder''s place to receive a mission? "You really overestimate yourself!"


    "Then, Senior Sister, please do as you please. I should leave now." Su Xiruo was too lazy to argue with her, he turned and left by himself.


    Jin Se did not place Su Xiruo in his eyes, and spoke to the Second Elder anxiously: "Second Elder, the assassination mission that I accepted today was actually taken away by someone!"


    "Yeah." Chu Yu disapproved, "It was that girl who completed it first." His tone was laced with a sense of gratification. He did not feel that his words would cause a war of gunpowder!


    "What?" It''s her! " Jin Se was immediately flustered, his fingers tensed up, "Second Elder, how can you do that? I clearly took this mission first, why did you send it to Su Xiruo? "


    Chu Yu looked at her strangely: "Jin Se, that girl asked for this mission. Furthermore, the academy also allowed competition for the normal missions, didn''t you also snatch many missions from the lower classes?"


    "Then... That''s different! " For a moment, Jin Se did not know what to say.


    "Why is it different?" Chu Yu''s tone was somewhat sullen, "Jin Se, there are two sides to everything. Since you want to steal someone''s mission, then you have to be mentally prepared for your own mission being taken away, I think that girl Su Xiruo is very interesting!"


    As a student of a low-level class, to dare to compete with a student of Senior Class for a mission, it truly required a lot of courage!


    Seeing that the Second Elder was still smiling when he mentioned Su Xiruo, Jin Se immediately became uncomfortable. "Second Elder, why are you also supporting her?"


    "This old man isn''t interested in anyone." Chu Yu laughed, "I have never said anything about you snatching Heavenly Ranked Class Three before. Now that it''s your turn, why are you so unhappy?"


    Jin Se bit his lower lip, at that moment, he wished that he could tear Su Xiruo into ten thousand pieces!


    "Second Elder, I ¡­"


    "Enough, stop talking!" Chu Yu interrupted her, "Jin Se, you have disappointed me. It''s one thing that I am unable to compete with the lower classes, but you are still so narrow-minded. I think it''s better if you go back and reflect on it!"


    Chu Yu''s tone was clearly a little dissatisfied with her, so Jin Se did not dare to continue any further, as he was afraid that his words would anger the Second Elder.


    With that, Jin Se left the pavilion unwillingly. Seeing that Su Xiruo had not walked far, he rushed up and blocked his path: "Su Xiruo, you stop right there!"


    Su Xiruo slowly stopped and glanced at her with the corner of his eye. He did not speak, as if he was waiting for her to speak first.


    "You stole my mission!" She stared at Su Xiruo and asked coldly, "Am I right?"


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo chuckled, and admitted it straightforwardly: "Sorry, Senior Sister!"


    Jin Se saw that she did not look embarrassed at all, and became even more exasperated: "What are you apologizing for? It seems to me that you are purposefully making life difficult for me? "


    "Why?" Su Xiruo did not explain anything and admitted everything, "You are only allowed to steal my Heavenly Ranked Class Three''s mission, and I am not allowed to steal your mission?"


    "Heh, you sure are audacious!" Jin Se berated coldly.


    "So what?" Su Xiruo looked straight into her eyes without fear, and said with a slightly provocative tone, "Also, I''ll also tell you, in the future, as long as it''s a mission for you, Jin Se, I''ll steal one from you, so prepare yourself!"


    With that, Su Xiruo ignored her and turned and walked away, while Jin Se stood at the same place like a defeated rooster, angry and annoyed: "Alright, Su Xiruo, since you dare to challenge me, then don''t blame me for not showing mercy!"


    She had never seen a low-level class student act so arrogantly! Therefore, she had to teach Su Xiruo a lesson, let him know how powerful she really was!

 C145

    In the following month, Su Xiruo kept her promise, but she would fight for every mission that Jin Se accepted. Jin Se suffered a lot.


    then decided to bring along his entire Heavenly Ranked Class Three to compete for the collective mission. Furthermore, he would be able to rely on his intelligence to steal a few wins from time to time!


    Of course, high level Divine Ranked Class students would not follow Jin Se around randomly, so every time, she could only use her high level Heavenly Ranked Class students to help. Although they all had the strength of Spirit Monarch, they were all often too self-confident, and their coordination was not too good.


    As a result, the might of the Heavenly Ranked Class Three was once again revived. The students who had followed along and stepped on the feet of the other students all disappeared without a trace, some even turned against them.


    On this day.


    Su Biyue paced outside of Jin Se''s room. After a while, Maidservant came out and reported, "Miss Jin Se said to let you in, but her time is limited.


    "Thank you very much." Su Biyue smiled and thanked him, then pushed the door open. He saw Jin Se sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating, and he was not even willing to open his eyes.


    Su Biyue slowly approached and said unhurriedly: "Senior Sister, recently ¡­ It seems like you don''t want to fight with Su Xiruo anymore, you guys are ¡­ Are you done? "


    In this month, Jin Se and Heavenly Ranked Class Three could be said to be fighting extremely intensely, but in the past few days, both sides seemed to have discussed everything, and just like that, there was a truce, there were not many movements from both sides!


    In this way, how could she sit on the sidelines and watch from the sidelines, reaping the rewards?


    Jin Se frowned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes, as he said in displeasure: "The competition is about to start in less than a month, and everyone in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three are currently training diligently. Now, I naturally have to put all my effort into the competition, how can I have the energy to continue playing this kind of boring game with them!"


    It was obvious that Jin Se was beginning to feel a sense of crisis. Although Su Xiruo was only at the one star Spirit Monarch level now, she could still feel a deep sense of crisis.


    He was a student of the [Advanced] Divine Ranked Class, so it would be alright if he lost to a student of the [Senior Class], but if he lost to Su Xiruo who was in the [Beginner] class, it would be too embarrassing!


    So, no matter what, she couldn''t slack off. She had to give Su Xiruo a heavy blow during the tournament!


    As for Su Biyue, she was slightly anxious and anxiously tried to persuade them: "But, the Heavenly Ranked Class Three are so arrogant right now, don''t tell me senior doesn''t want to teach them a good lesson anymore?"


    Jin Se glanced at her coldly, then laughed: "Su Biyue, why do I feel that you are more anxious than me? What, I''m not going to help you deal with Su Xiruo now, are you?


    How could Jin Se not understand his thoughts? Although she wanted to take care of Su Xiruo too, but continuing to maintain this stalemate was meaningless!


    Furthermore, Shang Jing had also warned him many times to not attack the Heavenly Ranked Class Three again. He was no longer willing to take this risk.


    "I... I don''t! " Seeing that she suspected him, Su Biyue was startled, and started to panic: "I''m just, I''m fighting for Senior Sister, that Su Xiruo, is too much! Two days ago, I saw her walking together with Senior Brother Shen, extremely intimate!"


    The last sentence, seemed to have stabbed Jin Se in the back all of a sudden. She could not bear listening to any further, and angrily roared: "Enough, stop talking!"


    Su Biyue had long prepared himself so he pretended to look innocent. "I''m sorry, Senior Sister, I didn''t mean to tell you these, I just thought that you are obviously better than Su Xiruo at everything, and yet Senior Brother Shen is bewitched by her, what a muddle!"


    "Alright!" Jin Se interrupted her, he seemed to be on the verge of losing control of his emotions, he then pointed towards the door and shouted, "Scram, get the hell out!"


    "Senior Sister, please calm your anger. I will take my leave first." Su Biyue lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised, he knew that he had achieved his goal, and turned to leave the room.


    "Su Xiruo?" Jin Se was so furious that all the tea cups on the table shattered onto the ground, but even so, he was still unable to suppress the rage in his heart.


    Right now, Shang Jing was always on Su Xiruo''s side, and was basically not able to help him. It seems like if he wanted to teach that girl a lesson, he could only seek help from Senior Brother Long!


    However, with Long Mochen''s personality, he would never meddle in other people''s business, unless this matter touched upon his interests or brought him benefits!


    The corner of Jin Se''s mouth slightly rose, he seemed to have a good idea in his heart.


    Su Biyue was happily pacing around the academy, when suddenly, he heard a familiar voice not far from him. He focused and saw that it was Lin Yuan speaking to him.


    "Su Xiruo, High Lord asked you to go back to Poison Sect tonight, you decide it yourself!"


    Hearing that, Su Biyue''s face turned pale, he immediately found a place to hide, wanting to understand what was going on.


    It was as if she had inadvertently discovered a heaven-shaking secret!


    Su Xiruo and Lin Yuan stood opposite each other, sighed helplessly, and said: "Alright, I''ll go back to the Poison Sect now."


    "Heh, I see that you know everything. You just don''t want to do it, you just have to wait for High Lord to teach you a lesson!" Lin Yuan taunted her without restraints, "In the end, not even a month''s time, I want to see how you can obtain the Beast Core!"


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly and ignored him, "I know what I''m doing, I don''t need you to remind me!"


    "You don''t need me to remind you?" Lin Yuan coldly snorted, "If you continue to hesitate, I''m afraid that even the High Lord will know that you have been moved to the depths of your heart and cannot bear to take action against Helian Yunqian. If things get to that point, you will know the consequences yourself!"


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, feeling a bit nervous in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained a calm and relaxed appearance. After a long while, he finally spat out two words: "Got it."


    With that, Su Xiruo turned and rode the wind, disappearing from Lin Yuan''s sight. Lin Yuan looked in the direction that Su Xiruo had left in and seemed to be extremely unreconciled.


    This girl''s talent is truly extraordinary. In less than a year, she has actually reached the level of Spirit Monarch! It seemed that he needed to work hard too.


    Only after the two had walked far did Su Biyue appear. His mouth was slightly open, and he was so astonished that he could not speak anymore.


    Su Xiruo was a person of Poison Sect, but she was actually a person of Poison Sect? And amongst all of these, there were many things that he did not know about. She had gotten close to Yun Qian, and it turned out to be just for the Beast Core!


    This series of information was too much for Su Biyue to accept.


    She tried her best to calm herself down, thinking, this must be a huge weakness of Su Xiruo''s!


    A trace of shrewdness and scheming flashed in Su Biyue''s eyes. He roughly knew what he should do.


    Su Xiruo hurried back to the Poison Sect overnight. Because she was worried that her father would discover her, she didn''t bring Mu Jin along.


    After passing through the first few levels, Su Xiruo arrived at the Inner Palace where the Poison Sovereign was. Standing outside the door, he asked for instructions: "Father, can I come in?"


    "Come in." The voice of the Poison Sovereign was rather weak.


    With his father''s permission, Su Xiruo carefully pushed open the door and entered the room. He saw Poison Sovereign lying on the bed, looking extremely ill.


    "Father, has your illness worsened recently?" Su Xiruo asked with concern, as though he was a bit worried.


    Poison Sovereign laughed: "It''s fine. There''s still a month left, and my good daughter will be bringing the Beast Core and Flying Feather back to me. So father isn''t worried at all."


    At this point, Su Xiruo lowered his head, not knowing how to answer this question.


    Poison Sovereign glanced at Su Xiruo from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her strange expression, he intentionally asked: "Right, Xiruo, why hasn''t there been any news about the Beast Core recently? Where is Helian Yunqian right now?"


    "He ¡­ to go back to the Dragon Seal Empire. " Su Xiruo naturally could not say as he was cultivating in seclusion, and casually replied.


    "After such a long time, I still haven''t had a chance to make a move?" Poison Sovereign''s tone suddenly changed, as if he was questioning her.

 C146

    Su Xiruo promptly replied: "Father, this person is extremely alert, his daughter is useless, it is really hard to get close to him. My daughter will definitely think of a way to go to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and kill one of them! "


    "Xiruo." Poison Sovereign stared at her, as if she could see the panic in her expression, "I don''t want you to lie to father and delay time on purpose!"


    "Daughter doesn''t dare!" Su Xiruo said as he defended himself with his head lowered.


    Then, Poison Sovereign realized that his attitude seemed to have changed too quickly, and he revealed a smile again: "Alright, Xiruo, father is joking with you, why are you so nervous?"


    Only then did Su Xiruo let out a breath of relief, "Daughter is just worried that father won''t believe Daughter, and that''s why I''m worried."


    "Father naturally believes in you. In the future, if Father is no longer here, this entire Poison Sect will be handed over to you. Cough cough ¡­" The Poison Sovereign started to cough again.


    "Father." Su Xiruo lightly patted Poison Sovereign''s back, suddenly, for some reason, the moment her finger bones touched Poison Sovereign''s body, she discovered something strange!


    That''s not right. Why is it that my father''s aura is extremely stable? He doesn''t seem like a dying patient at all!


    At this moment, he suddenly recalled what Yun Qian had told him before.


    "In my opinion, most people request for this kind of high level Beast Core and they also need to specify the attributes. Generally speaking, it is not to save lives, but to increase their strength!"


    Of course, if that was the case, Su Xiruo did not dare to ask about it. He shook his head slightly, reminding himself that he should not be so suspicious of his father, and hid it deep in his heart.


    Poison Sovereign did not notice the change in Su Xiruo''s expression, and asked: "How are your preparations for this competition?"


    Su Xiruo truthfully said: "This time, there''s an opponent with five star Spirit Monarch who is also a Poison Master. To me, there''s still a bit of pressure, but my daughter will definitely give it her all!"


    "Heh, it sounds quite capable." Poison Sovereign laughed disapprovingly, "But Father believes in you, this is nothing difficult for you."


    "Yes." Su Xiruo only responded with one word, but he had already made up his mind.


    With regards to the Beast Core, she was indeed in a difficult situation and didn''t know what to do. However, Flying Feather was something that she could fight for herself, so no matter what, she had to get it back for her father!


    Then, the Poison Sovereign said: "After the competition, return to the Poison Sect after getting the Beast Core. There''s no need to waste anymore time in the outside world, understand?"


    "Daughter knows." Su Xiruo could only agree, "Father should rest well, it''s time for daughter to return."


    "En, you can go now!"


    Poison Sovereign waved his hand and watched as she turned around to leave.


    This so-called daughter of his seemed to have some ulterior motives. This time, it all depended on her own performance. If she performed well, she would leave it at that. If she let him down, then she would not let him off!


    The next day.


    Su Xiruo arrived at the Duel Yard early, and noticed that today''s Duel Yard was extremely lively. The students were all watching from the center of the stage, and just as he got a little closer, he sensed a dense Spiritual Strength fluctuation, which came from the stage.


    Who could have attracted so many people to watch?


    So, Su Xiruo went over, but because there were too many people, there were three levels inside, and three levels on the outside. He could not see the situation on the stage, and could only see the black mass of heads.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo could only ask the ordinary student at the side: "On this stage, which two people are fighting?"


    The student looked extremely excited. "You don''t even know this? It''s Senior Brother Shen Shangjing and Senior Brother Long Mochen who are exchanging pointers. These two people are the two most powerful students in our Mercenary Academy, but they actually managed to get together today.


    Shen Shangjing, Long Mochen... These two names, to Su Xiruo, were relatively familiar. The two of them both had five star Spirit Monarch, and Long Mochen, might very well be his biggest opponent in the tournament!


    Immediately, this match piqued Su Xiruo''s curiosity enough, but looking at the black mass of heads, she could not help but let out a sigh. She squeezed through the crowd and leapt onto another stage, barely able to see the scene before her.


    The figure of a black and a white figure were standing on the stage, the battle was intense, the normally gentle and refined Shen Shangjing, when used, was extremely decisive.


    A ball of flame struck Long Mochen''s sleeves, but Long Mochen''s expression did not change, the purplish black Spiritual Strength instantly melted the ball of fire, and the Poison Miasma lightly pushed aside, pulling away from Shen Shangjing.


    Following that, the two weapons clashed, and the Spiritual Strength vibrated for a while. The people below the stage all retreated a bit, afraid that they would be affected by the energy.


    Behind Long Mochen, a few purplish black figures flew out, instantly turning into sharp blades that shot out.


    Shen Shangjing quickly retreated backwards, the blade in his hand drew a red streak in the air, the scorching hot light blade instantly cut apart the purplish black silhouette, and seized the opportunity to chase up to Long Mochen. That speed was so fast that no one who was watching had been able to react.


    In the next second, Long Mochen''s figure disappeared, and instantly appeared behind Shen Shangjing. When Shen Shangjing turned his head, the Spiritual Skill had made a surprise attack, and even the sky had darkened slightly.


    Shen Shangjing was also unwilling to be outdone, the red Spiritual Skill wrapped the blade inside, and with a leap, the two sets of Spiritual Strength gently touched in the air, causing it to tremble, and with a huge sound, it swept past, causing the two of them to retreat a few steps.


    Long Mochen kept his weapon and slowly walked forward, his face full of smiles: "Brother Chen, your Spiritual Strength has increased by quite a bit."


    "How can I compare to you?" Shen Shangjing smiled.


    Who would have thought that when Long Mochen got closer, Shen Shangjing once again brandished his blade, approaching Long Mochen''s face, and slashed down with the blade, but discovered that he had only struck an afterimage.


    Not good!


    In the next second, the ice cold blade was already at his neck. He turned around and saw Long Mochen standing behind him, unharmed.


    The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Shen Shangjing could not help but praise them: "Mo Chen, looks like I need to work harder."


    Although this Long Mochen had entered the Mercenary Academy one year after him, she had extremely good talent. In just a short year, she had smoothly entered the Senior Class, and her strength quickly caught up to his, an old student.


    In the past two years, the two of them have always viewed each other as their only competition, and their powers were always on par, but now, Long Mochen had also started to pull apart the gap between them.


    "Brother Chen is too polite." Long Mochen kept his weapon, and ignoring the looks of worship from the disciples below, he followed Shen Shangjing and left the stage.


    Not far away, Su Xiruo saw the entire scene from before. In his heart, he had some idea how strong Long Mochen was.


    That person''s attack was incomparably steady, so steady that it was difficult for one to find a flaw. If it was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to find any loophole in his attack.


    Even Shen Shangjing was not his match, what''s more, he was only a one star Spirit Monarch.


    Su Xiruo gently curled up the phalanx of his fingers. It seemed that he would have to put in more effort in this last month.


    Long Mochen and Shen Shangjing left the Duel Yard together, and continued to chat about the tournament.


    "Mo Chen, have you heard that this time around, there are two students who have signed up for the Low Class?" Shen Shangjing was more curious about this question.


    Long Mochen gave a noncommittal smile: "So what? A mere low-level student would not be able to create much of a change in the atmosphere. "


    In his eyes, the students of the lower classes couldn''t even be called opponents anymore. Even in Senior Class, they wouldn''t be able to find many.


    Unfortunately, Shen Shangjing had been a student for more than three years, and no longer had the qualifications to participate in the tournament this year. In the entire Mercenary Academy, most likely, only Shen Shangjing was worthy of his attention.


    Furthermore, during last year''s competition, he had lost to Shen Shangjing and was extremely unwilling. However, this year, he actually did not even have the chance to take revenge.


    "Brother Mo Chen." At this time, Jin Se appeared in front of the two of them.

 C147

    Shen Shangjing shot a glance at Jin Se, but did not say anything. He did not have much of a good impression of this woman left.


    Long Mochen did not like to socialize with others, so the reason why she knew Jin Se was because of him. Hence, she became more courteous when talking to her: "What business does Miss Jin Se have with me?"


    Jin Se smiled and said: "I just heard the two of you discussing about the competition, so I wanted to come listen in."


    "Jin Se." At this time, Shen Shangjing spoke up, "Now, other than Brother Mo Chen, the ones with the strongest Senior Class are you and Lu Qingmo. So, the two of you can be considered as strong opponents for Brother Mo Chen."


    Hearing that, Long Mochen sighed helplessly, probably thinking, that to him, these people were not even his opponents.


    If that was the case, then it would be meaningless for him to win this competition.


    "Brother Mo Chen, please don''t underestimate the students of the Low Class." "For example, Su Xiruo from the low level classes, advanced from the five star Heavenly Spirit Master to the Spirit Monarch in less than a year. In the low level classes, it can be considered as something that no one is unaware of."


    Long Mochen laughed but he still didn''t take it to heart, "I''ve also heard some news about that girl, but, so what of Spirit Monarch? I''m afraid that she can''t even beat you, so she probably won''t be able to meet me anymore. "


    However, he thought that the girl was extremely talented. Although she wouldn''t be able to threaten him this year, she would at least be a strong opponent in a year or two.


    "But, that girl is extremely arrogant." Jin Se then started to stir up trouble, "Relying on your own ability, you made it known to everyone that you want to step on our Senior Class, on your head! Brother Mo Chen, are you not angry? "


    "Alright." Hearing that, Shen Shangjing could not help but interrupt her: "Jin Se, don''t talk nonsense!"


    Jin Se pushed Shen Shangjing: "What do you know? I am discussing my opponent with Brother Mo Chen. "


    On the other hand, Long Mochen only shook his head slightly, his emotions undetectable: "Why should I be angry? If this girl is truly capable, then come and challenge me. It would be meaningless for her to make a ruckus for no reason at all. "


    With that, Long Mochen walked forward on his own, stopping Jin Se in his tracks. "Brother Mo Chen!"


    She let out a helpless sigh, but she didn''t know how angry she was in her heart.


    "Jin Se." Shen Shangjing glanced at her, clearly unhappy, "Since you have the time to sow discord, I suggest you to cultivate properly, or else you won''t be able to beat the students from the lower classes when the time comes."


    After Jin Se heard what he said, he became even more unhappy. "Shang Jing, what do you mean by that? Are you purposely biased towards Su Xiruo?"


    Don''t think about harming others all the time, harming others instead. If you really want to give Su Xiruo a heavy blow, then perform well during the competition and defeat her. What else is there to say? "


    Jin Se''s fingers were curled tightly, feeling that Shang Jing''s attitude towards him had changed visibly in recent days.


    Originally, even though he was indifferent to himself, he would not be this impatient. However, now, ever since Su Xiruo had appeared as a scourge, Shang Jing seemed to have become a completely different person, completely disregarding her as his fiancee.


    "Shang Jing, I just want to ask, in your heart, do you still have a place for me?" Jin Se looked into his eyes. She really wanted to know the answer to this question and know Shang Jing''s true thoughts.


    Shen Shangjing glanced at her before speaking the truth, "Jin Se, even if I didn''t tell you the truth, you would have already known in your heart that we would ¡­ It was originally a match made between two clans, and not all of them were willing. "


    "But I''m just willing!" Jin Se interrupted him and lost control of her emotions, "I have always been willing to do anything for you."


    "That''s you." Shen Shangjing said indifferently, "You cannot force it, everyone has the same idea as you!"


    "Do you have to be so heartless to me?" Jin Se bit his lower lip, probably hating him.


    "You must get to the bottom of this, so for some things, I feel that it''s better if we don''t make things clear. This saves everyone from feeling bad." Shen Shangjing laughed at himself, left behind those words, and turned to leave.


    Actually, he couldn''t help himself. If he had to choose, he would have acted on his own inner thoughts and wouldn''t want to be tied down by the family for the rest of his life!


    Jin Se looked at Shen Shangjing''s leaving figure, he was so angry that he wanted to kill him for it. But he could only shout at his back: "Shen Shangjing, I hate you!"


    So it turned out that all of this was just wishful thinking on her part. This marriage alliance was only barely sustainable because of her imagination, and Shen Shangjing did not care at all!


    Today, there were not many people with Yunshu. The moment Su Xiruo stepped in, he saw Su Biyue.


    She immediately looked away, afraid that her eyes would be tainted by this traitor.


    "Su Xiruo." Su Biyue took the initiative to stop her, and walked in front of her with a stern face, as though he had something to say to her.


    Su Xiruo turned his head, and coldly glanced at her: "What, you can''t continue staying at Jin Se''s place, and came back to sow discord with me?"


    "Heh, don''t make things sound so bad." Su Biyue did not know where he got the courage from, but his words had become much more unyielding, "You kept saying that I was a traitor, but you yourself are not much better off.


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile: "What do you want to say?"


    Su Biyue coldly snorted, "I just want to ask you, in your heart, are you really sincere towards Master Helian?"


    "This is a matter between me and Yun Qian, it has nothing to do with you, right?" Su Xiruo did not reply, it was as if he hated her mentioning Yun Qian, even if it meant mentioning Yun Qian!


    "Heh, I think you just have a guilty conscience." Su Biyue laughed in ridicule, thinking that she was just acting out of guilt, his heart immediately became even more unbalanced, "Master Helian is really blind, why would he fall for a scheming woman like you!"


    Su Xiruo was not angered by her words. Instead, he felt that it was somewhat funny. "That''s right, Yun Qian would rather like a scheming woman like me than to give you another glance."


    His face suddenly changed as he curled his fingers tightly: "I won''t give up so easily. There will be a day when Master Helian will recognize your true face, and I will also take him away from you!"


    "Alright, then I''ll follow you to the end." Su Xiruo was naturally not afraid of her, "However, you better take it easy, after all I am a vengeful person, you have to be careful, if any sunset in my hands, I will definitely let you live a life worse than death!"


    The two of them stared at each other coldly, as if the air around them had frozen into ice.


    Suddenly, this solemn atmosphere was interrupted by a man: "We are all Mercenary Academy students, this young lady, why must you make things so difficult."


    Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see the Men In Black''s big stature, his sword-like eyebrows knitted together slightly. He was standing right behind him.


    Why was this face somewhat familiar? After carefully searching in his mind, Su Xiruo suddenly remembered that the man was the Long Mochen that she had met once in Duel Yard!


    "Senior brother Long, are you talking to me?" Su Xiruo asked back.


    "That''s right." Long Mochen was also curious, how did this woman know who she was, but he did not ask her, "We are all from the same academy, I feel that there is no need for the lady to say that she wants to hurt me, it is as if she has a deep grudge."


    Su Xiruo sized him up, then laughed: "This is between her and me, Senior Brother Long, you shouldn''t meddle in this matter, right?"


    "I''m not meddling in other people''s business. I just can''t stand watching you say such vicious words." Long Mochen looked at her with eyes as bright as the stars. She was probably a little surprised that the girl didn''t have the slightest bit of fear when she saw him.

 C148

    "This matter has nothing to do with Senior. Senior, you should take care of your own matters first." Su Xiruo didn''t want to argue with him too much, so after these words, she decided to go up to the second floor. However, at this time, she stopped and added:


    "Oh right, Senior Brother, I want to warn you as well. Next time, don''t meddle in other people''s business before you know the ins and outs of this matter. Otherwise, you might bring disaster upon yourself!"


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo slowly walked up to the second floor, and no longer paid attention to the two of them.


    Unexpectedly, although Long Mochen was strong, he did not have much vision towards others, and was truly disappointing!


    Seeing that Su Xiruo had left, Su Biyue secretly glanced at the man in front of him, feeling excited in his heart.


    Just now, Su Xiruo had called him Senior Brother Long. Could it be, that he was the Long Mochen with the strongest profound strength?


    Thinking about it, Su Biyue immediately spoke to him, pretending to be a pitiful guy: "Senior brother Long, thank you for helping me out earlier. If it wasn''t for you, I would have been oppressed by that rude and unreasonable female demon Su Xiruo."


    "Su Xiruo." When Long Mochen read this name, he somewhat had an impression of it. "She''s Su Xiruo from Heavenly Ranked Class Three?"


    It looked like Jin Se was indeed not lying to him, he was truly overbearing, and was not afraid of anything!


    However, he wouldn''t care about a woman like her, or even treat her as an opponent.


    "That''s right." Su Biyue nodded with incomparable sincerity, "In the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, I have received quite a bit of oppression from her. But I only dare to be angry and not say anything.


    "Alright." Long Mochen interrupted her, and asked, "Are you also from the Divine Ranked Class?"


    Su Biyue nodded slightly, she did not quite understand what he meant.


    "It''s easy to leave a bad impression when you speak ill of others behind their back, so it''s better for you to take your time and find a reason for doing so." Long Mochen spoke with righteousness, as if he was serious.


    Just a moment ago, he thought that this girl was quite pitiful, but after hearing her say these kinds of words that seemed to stir up discord, Long Mochen''s impression of her immediately dropped to the freezing point.


    "I, I didn''t mean that ¡­" Su Biyue wanted to explain himself, but Long Mochen did not give her the chance.


    Su Biyue''s fingers curled tightly, revealing a bit of sinister gaze.


    None of them could be relied on. It seemed that she still had to go herself, to deal with Su Xiruo that woman!


    If Su Xiruo''s reputation in the entire low ranking class was ruined, then it would be a huge blow to her!


    At this time, in Su Biyue''s heart, he seemed to have a good idea, and revealed a mysterious smile.


    Second level of the Yunshu.


    Long Mochen opened his eyes and ended his day of cultivation. His gaze unintentionally fell on Su Xiruo.


    At this time, Su Xiruo had also planned to leave, but when he passed by Long Mochen, he did not even glance at him.


    "Su Xiruo." Just then, Long Mochen called out to her.


    Su Xiruo stopped and glanced at him, but did not say anything, as if he was listening attentively.


    "I might have misunderstood you about what happened during the day, so I apologize." Long Mochen''s tone, actually sounded much softer, "I was unable to figure out the sequence of events, so I started to come to a presumptuous conclusion."


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally: "Senior Brother Long, there''s no need to be so polite."


    "It''s indeed not easy for a new student in the low level class to produce Spirit Monarch." Long Mochen sized her up, and suddenly became curious, "Are you interested in exchanging pointers with my Duel Yard?"


    He thought that perhaps he could give some guidance to this girl. After all, this girl looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen, but she already possessed Spirit Monarch!


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment, and then turned around. "Senior brother Long, it looks to me like we should keep our trump cards with us. See you in the finals."


    Her tone was extremely calm as she modestly rejected Long Mochen''s request.


    "Oh?" Long Mochen thought that she had heard wrongly, "Are you that confident that you can meet me in the finals?"


    This woman, was a little too confident. She probably didn''t understand the overall strength of Senior Class yet.


    Su Xiruo gently shook his head and did not admit it: "No, but I have to make all the preparations. What if the one who finishes the competition with you is me?"


    Long Mochen could not help but smile, probably thinking that she was joking with him, so he agreed: "Alright then, since you say so, I''ll wait for you in the finals."


    "Senior brother Long, I still have things to do, so I won''t tell you anymore." Su Xiruo smiled, then turned and left after saying that.


    Actually, it was not that she did not want to spar with Long Mochen, but she felt that if she had exposed her tactics and habits to him too early, she would have been thoroughly analyzed by him when they reached the finals!


    If he wanted to win, there was no hope at all.


    As Long Mochen watched Su Xiruo''s leaving figure, the corner of his mouth raised a little. Suddenly, he felt that this woman was rather interesting, and in his heart, he started to feel a bit of anticipation for the competition.


    The calm days passed one by one. Although it seemed calm, in reality, the entire low-level class had started to become chaotic and began to spread rumors.


    Today, Xiao Muran angrily returned to his Pear Garden and said to Su Xiruo with a displeased expression, "Xiruo, have you heard the words of the low-level classes outside recently?"


    "What did they say?" Regarding these things, Su Xiruo did not care about it at all. Right now, she was completely focused on cultivation and could not care about anything else.


    "Recently, someone has been pretending to be you and using your name to commit heinous acts in the lower classes. The Common Class and the Spiritual Ranked class have suffered the most, and right now, it''s an unspeakable suffering." Xiao Muran then explained the entire matter to her, "That''s why nowadays, all the students in the low ranking class are afraid and hate you, but it''s obvious that it was not you who did it.


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly, but on the surface, he was still as calm as ever: "There''s still the Ten Sun Competition to begin, so naturally there will be people with ill intentions meddling in here, wanting to distract my attention. I will think of a way to settle this matter myself, you guys don''t have to bother about it."


    "How are you going to deal with this yourself?" Xiao Muran was getting anxious for her sake, "Why not leave it to us? Let us help you investigate! Sigh, it''s a pity that the damned impersonator never shows himself during the day.


    "Since he''s going to make a move, then there must be a time when he''s going to reveal some flaws." Su Xiruo was more confident in this matter, "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing, and will definitely not let this guy continue doing evil things."


    Xiao Muran still could not believe it, but since she had said so herself, she could only agree to it: "Alright, but ¡­ If there''s anything you need help with, just let me know. "


    "Alright, I understand." Su Xiruo nodded his head, then returned to his room.


    Impersonate? Heh, she could still do such a thing. Currently, she had many enemies within the academy, so it was impossible for her to guess who did it.


    In fact, Mu Jin came out of her sleeve: "Master, someone actually dared to frame you, this is truly too much!"


    "This person always acts at night, so I need you to help me investigate this in secret." Su Xiruo felt that it was most suitable for Mu Jin to become a small bird at night and investigate secretly.


    However, Mu Jin naturally wouldn''t refuse Xiruo''s request, and immediately agreed. "Don''t worry, just leave it to me, I''ll definitely uncover the murderer and bring him in front of you, to be dealt with by you!"


    "If you find the culprit, don''t act rashly. You can make a decision after telling me about it." Su Xiruo was still quite cautious.


    Mu Jin nodded his head: "Okay, then I will follow you in the dark. Master will wait for my news!"


    With that said, Mu Jin transformed into a small Chinese Kite and sneaked out of the window.

 C149

    Su Xiruo looked outside the window, unwilling to continue thinking about those random things. She still wanted to break through two star Spirit Monarch before the competition, that way, she would have a better chance of winning.


    The Chinese Kite was carefully circling around in its mouth, in a place with fewer people, it probably felt that the motive for the crime in this kind of place was a little bigger.


    Suddenly, he heard a commotion from below. A woman covered her face and was wearing a white robe that was exactly the same as Xiruo''s. She was currently slapping a low-level class student.


    The female student was slapped several times. After that, the white-clothed female said something vicious to herself before turning around and leaving.


    "Great, you sure are bold!" Mu Jin snorted coldly, but just as he was about to give chase, he suddenly bumped into a light barrier, and transformed into his human form, with Lu Qingmo standing right in front of him.


    Turning his head back, he saw that the white clothed female had already disappeared. Mu Jin was extremely anxious and wanted to chase up to her, but Lu Qingmo stopped him, "Young Master, please wait!"


    "I have urgent matters to attend to. If you need anything, come find me later!" At this time, Mu Jin could no longer wait. He wanted to chase after the white clothed female, but he was stopped by Lu Qingmo the entire time.


    In the end, seeing that the white clothed female had already disappeared without a trace, he helplessly sighed and glared at Lu Qingmo. "Hey, why are you stopping me?


    It wasn''t easy for him to find the impersonator who caused all these trouble, but they were destroyed just like that. Mu Jin was extremely displeased in his heart.


    Lu Qingmo stared at Mu Jin seriously for a long time. Finally, he knelt in front of him and said: "Your Highness."


    "What?" Mu Jin looked at him in shock, as she was overwhelmed by the favor he offered her. "Quickly get up, who''s your highness? I''m not your highness!"


    However, Lu Qingmo refused to get up even after a long time: "Your Highness, this subordinate naturally will not recognize wrongly, you are the only survivor of our Phoenix Clan. Your Highness, follow me back to the Phoenix Clan!"


    When he received such a huge piece of information, Mu Jin''s mind went blank. He thought Yue Yang was joking with him, "Don''t joke with me, I''m not in the mood to joke with you right now."


    Although he was not familiar with the affairs of the world, he still knew the Phoenix Clan of one of the three great gods.


    He was only an ordinary Chinese Kite, but without the life of the divine Orc Clan, he didn''t want to either!


    "Your Highness, I''m not joking with you." Lu Qingmo looked at him sincerely. "All of this, when Your Highness followed me back to the Phoenix Clan, you naturally knew about it."


    Mu Jin subconsciously took a step back. "No, I don''t want to return to the Phoenix Clan, nor do I want to be associated with the divine Orc Clan in any way. I feel that it''s already very good that I''m like this right now.


    "Your majesty." Lu Qingmo sighed helplessly, "The Patriarch has always been looking forward to see you back, but are you really not willing to go back and take a look?"


    Mu Jin shook his head. For a moment, he was not willing to accept this sudden occurrence. "You ¡­ You''ve told me too suddenly, and you''re not even willing to give me time to breathe. How can I accept that? "


    Even though every single spirit beast was incomparably powerful, to the point where they had even Divine Orc Clan, they still tried to think of ways to get even the tiniest bit involved with Divine Orc Clan.


    However, Mu Jin''s attitude was completely the opposite. Even when he was in Spirit Beast Mountain Range, he only had one wish, and that was to peacefully live his life. He never would have thought that in order to become one of the so-called Divine Orc Clan, he only wanted to accompany his master right now!


    Lu Qingmo knew that his words were too sudden, and no one would be able to accept them. Thus, he changed to a gentler tone: "Your Highness, don''t be agitated, and don''t be afraid, this subordinate isn''t forcing you to do anything. The reason why you are unwilling to leave, I presume, you also have some concerns, right?"


    "I will not leave Master." Mu Jin''s attitude was extremely resolute.


    "But you are a descendant of Phoenix Clan, your status is noble ¡­"


    "Enough!" Mu Jin interrupted him, she did not seem to be listening, "Don''t say anymore, I don''t want to hear it! I don''t want to have anything to do with your Phoenix Clan! "


    After throwing that sentence down, Mu Jin panicked and left the place, wanting to escape from everything.


    Lu Qingmo stopped him from leaving and did not give chase. He only shook his head helplessly: "Looks like, right now, Your Highness is still not able to accept this."


    Indeed, this was no small matter. It was not something that anyone could accept in a short period of time.


    Whatever, I''ll send a letter back to the Patriarch, and during this time, I''ll give His Highness some time to consider.


    On the other side, Mu Jin seemed to have lost his mind, as he returned to Su Xiruo''s room, constantly thinking back about what Lu Qingmo had just said to him.


    Phoenix Clan... He had always felt that these three words should be very far away from him, but today, someone had told him that he was the orphan of Phoenix Clan, so how could he accept this?


    "Mu Jin, what''s wrong?" Seeing that Mu Jin''s expression was abnormal, Su Xiruo immediately asked with concern, "Did you encounter something?"


    Mu Jin regained his senses and looked at Su Xiruo, thinking that the matter of Phoenix Clan was not normal, it would be better if he did not tell Master first.


    Therefore, Mu Jin revealed a slight smile: "No, I''m just angry. I was just about to catch up with the impersonator, and in the end, I accidentally let him escape, what a pity!"


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, and believed his words: "So that''s how it is, then it doesn''t matter, there will definitely be a next time. There will definitely be a time when we can catch him!"


    Mu Jin laughed, then began to change the topic: "Master, I want to ask you a question!"


    The little guy''s sudden seriousness made Su Xiruo uncomfortable. "What question?"


    "Do you want me to stay with you?" After a long while, he finally asked carefully.


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course I hope that you can accompany me, but if you have more important things to do, I hope that you can fulfill your wish, and not fulfill it for me."


    Mu Jin squatted down, and got a little closer to her: "Master, my greatest wish is to accompany you by your side, I''m not going anywhere! Therefore, you must not chase me away! "


    His tone was serious, mixed with a sense of grievance.


    Su Xiruo was not used to the little fellow suddenly saying such words, so he asked: "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"


    Why was it that after he had gone out to wander around for a bit, he seemed to have become abnormal? Su Xiruo was still a little worried, worried that he had been deceived outside.


    Mu Jin shook her head lightly, and then said no more: "Let''s not talk about this, anyway, in the future, no matter what, I will be by your side, I don''t want to go anywhere!"


    "Mu Jin, tell me the truth, did you encounter something when you went out just now?" Su Xiruo truly felt that today''s Mu Jin was somewhat abnormal.


    Following that, Mu Jin hesitated for a moment, but did not speak the truth, and continued to compose his words: "It''s just that the competition is about to begin, and after it, you have to leave the Mercenary Academy, which is why I''m worried, will you abandon me here?"


    This reason sounded quite reasonable.


    "Of course I won''t leave you behind." Su Xiruo didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "If you leave this Mercenary Academy, I will definitely bring you along to leave, don''t worry."


    Hearing this, Mu Jin''s heart became a little more at ease. Thinking about what Lu Qingmo had just said, his feelings became a little sour, and it felt very bad.


    He had grown up in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and had no one to rely on. It was his master who brought him to the outside world, and now, he had gotten used to living his current life. He was naturally unwilling to suddenly let him return to the Phoenix Clan.


    After all, he did not have any memories of that Phoenix Clan. In the past, he had treated Spirit Beast Mountain Range as his own home, but now, wherever the master was, he would be there, and would never even leave half a step away!

 C150

    After that, Mu Jin would sneak into various places in the academy every night, and did not have any leads for three days. Just as he was about to give up, on the fourth day, that figure appeared once again!


    Immediately, Mu Jin carefully found a place to prostrate down and observed the situation not far away. He secretly used the Azure Feather to send a message to Su Xiruo.


    Not far away, a white-clothed female appeared in front of a female student from a low grade class with her face covered. The female student took a few steps back in panic: "I, I did not offend your Divine Ranked Class, Su Xiruo, please forgive me!"


    Almost all the students in the low level class knew that Su Xiruo was the tyrant in this low level class, thus, she tacitly agreed that the white clothed female was Su Xiruo.


    The white clothed female took off her veil, revealing Su Xiruo''s face, she laughed lightly: "Spare you? Did I personally witness you speak rudely to me today? Do you think that I can spare you? "


    The female student was stunned for a moment, and the fear in her heart grew even stronger.


    Today, during the day, he had only muttered a few words to someone. He did not expect that Su Xiruo''s recent misdeeds would be heard by someone, and he blamed himself for being unlucky.


    "I... I know I was wrong, spare me, I won''t dare anymore! " The female student lowered her head, her eyes filled with fear. Seeing "Su Xiruo" slowly approaching, her heart almost reached her throat.


    "Su Xiruo" slapped her face, and instantly knocked the female student to the ground. In the next second, "Su Xiruo" took out his blade, with killing intent in his eyes.


    Ah!" The female student was terrified. She stood up and ran, feeling her legs go soft. She was running for her life because she knew that if she was just a bit slower, she would have lost her life.


    "Su Xiruo" was chasing closely behind her. The female student was running like hell as she went through many alleys. Suddenly, she saw that there was no more road ahead.


    Just as she was at a loss for what to do, a girl in blue clothes appeared in front of her. Su Xiruo''s exquisite yet cold face suddenly appeared in front of her.


    The female student subconsciously looked behind her. She could also hear the commotion behind her, and was immediately shocked.


    Wait, why are there two Su Xiruo s?


    "Ah ¡­"


    Just as she was about to shout, Su Xiruo reached out his hand to cover her mouth and whispered: "If you don''t want to die, then shut up!"


    The female student immediately shut her mouth and looked at Su Xiruo in panic. She pointed behind her and spoke incoherently, "She, she ¡­ "You are?"


    "That''s an impersonator." Su Xiruo''s cherry lips slightly opened, as she briefly explained, "Listen, I can protect your life right now, but you have to do as I say!"


    The female student was stunned, but when she heard that she could save her own life, she kept nodding her head. "Alright, go ahead."


    Su Xiruo took out a pill from his bosom: "Swallow this."


    The female student received it with her hands. Her fingers were trembling, and she was still a little doubtful. "This ¡­"


    "That fake is about to catch up. If you continue to hesitate, you''ll die at her hands." Seeing her hesitation, Su Xiruo reminded, "This pill can protect your life. If you trust me, take it!"


    "Huh?" At this moment, there was a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. The female students had no other choice but to swallow the pills.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo whispered a few words softly into her ear, and then instantly disappeared from her line of sight.


    But at this time, the white clothed female caught up to her and grabbed the female student''s neck, then stabbed the dagger into the female student''s chest. The female student had a sinister expression as she struggled desperately, not willing to let go of Su Biyue''s arm.


    "Let go!" With one palm, Su Biyue forced the female student to retreat, leaving behind a sinister trail of blood on her arm.


    The female student fell to the ground. The white-clothed female went to test the female student''s aura, and after confirming that she was dead, she smiled complacently. The nearby eyewitness students were so scared that their legs went soft, and they kneeled down.


    "Su Xiruo, spare us, spare us!"


    "Su Xiruo" sneered, her tone was extremely arrogant, pointed at the corpse on the ground, and said: "In the future, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to me again, she will be the result for all of you!"


    "Yes sir!" The students'' voices trembled as they did not dare to raise their heads. After all, staying alive was the most important thing right now. They hurriedly fled the scene of the murder.


    "Su Xiruo" laughed complacently. Seeing that they had all escaped, he then lightly waved his sleeve and changed his original face back to Su Biyue''s.


    She had used a disguise technique to change her appearance into Su Xiruo''s, and then done all sorts of evil deeds, and this time, a life had been lost, the entire academy might not even be able to contain Su Xiruo anymore!


    The next day, the news of the tragic death of the Spiritual Ranked Class students had practically spread throughout the entire Mercenary Academy.


    It was early in the morning when a group of black-robed mercenary guards barged in with Pear Garden s.


    "This... Did something happen? " Seeing that, Mu Lingxi knew that the matter was not simple.


    The leading mercenary coldly spoke: "Su Xiruo killed the students of the Spiritual Ranked class. Dean Lei was enraged, and ordered us to bring her for interrogation!"


    "This... "How is that possible, Xiruo hasn''t been out recently!" Everyone''s eyes landed on Su Xiruo''s body, all of them with a look of disbelief.


    They absolutely didn''t believe that, with Xiruo''s character, she would be able to do such a thing.


    "It happened last night." The mercenary did not waste any more words, "The Dean Lei will naturally make a decision as to the truth of the matter. There is no need for you to say anything.


    Thus, the mercenaries listened to his orders and held him down.


    "You can''t just randomly capture him!" Xiao Muran became a little anxious, "Even if you were to say that Xi Ruo killed someone, at least you have proof!"


    "The evidence is indisputable, and the method of killing is also compatible with the weapon. Besides, the other students witnessed it last night as well, so it''s impossible for him to be wrong!" The mercenary''s voice was as cold as iron.


    Everyone''s fingers tightened, Xiao Muran even took out his weapon: "I don''t care, if you guys don''t tell us what''s going on today, don''t think about taking him away from our Heavenly Ranked Class Three!"


    "Xiao Muran, stop!" At this time, Su Xiruo spoke softly and stopped his movements, "Since I am innocent, then there is nothing to be afraid of, just make a trip with them!"


    Her tone was full of confidence, as if she had already made up her mind.


    "But, someone is framing you!" Xiao Muran curled his fingers tightly, he was even more anxious than her, "The Principal has personally stepped in, this matter is very serious, I am afraid it is not so easy to get rid of this responsibility!"


    Following that, Nangong Yi said from the side, "How about this, I''ll go to the back mountain and call the Master Helian over.


    If even the Principal appeared, it was obvious how serious this matter was. At that moment, only Master Helian was able to appear, in order to temporarily calm the anger of the Dean Lei.


    Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo immediately rejected them: "Master Helian is in closed door cultivation, no one is allowed to disturb me! I myself know very well about this matter, so you don''t have to worry.


    "Xiruo!"


    Following that, Su Xiruo gave Mu Lingxi a meaningful look. Mu Lingxi then walked over and whispered a few words into his ear.


    After hearing it, Mu Lingxi nodded his head slightly: "Alright, I will do as you say!"


    Then, Su Xiruo was escorted away by the mercenaries. Everyone was anxious, not knowing what to do.


    "Mu Lingxi, what did Xi Ruo say to you just now?" Bai Yanxi could not help but ask, "We will just wait here, who knows when we will go."


    But at this moment, Mu Lingxi revealed a somewhat indifferent expression: "Don''t worry, Xi Ruo seems to have a plan in mind. Come, let''s go out with me.


    "What serious matter?" They were still confused and did not understand what Mu Lingxi meant.


    "You''ll know once you get there." Mu Lingxi did not have much time to explain to them, so he spat lightly.

 C151

    Inside the main hall of the Mercenary Academy, a highly respected elderly sat in the seat of honor, his face filled with anger.


    Su Xiruo was escorted in, and at the side, he saw a female corpse and a few students, seeing Su Xiruo being escorted in, they all revealed expressions of fear, as though they had seen a ferocious beast.


    In their hearts, they probably thought that Su Xiruo was a demon that killed people without blinking his eyes!


    "Kneel!" The mercenary brought Su Xiruo down to his knees.


    Su Xiruo bowed respectfully, "Student Su Xiruo greets Dean Lei."


    Lei Yuntian shot a glance at Su Xiruo, and asked coldly: "My Mercenary Academy''s students have never done such a brutal thing before, to actually kill an innocent student. Su Xiruo, what crime do you think you should have?"


    Su Xiruo''s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant: "Dean Lei, I was not the one who killed the person, and did not do anything, this student will not admit defeat, I hope Dean Lei can investigate!"


    Seeing that she was refusing to admit it, Lei Yuntian was obviously angry: "You are still denying that. These witnesses, they are not blind, they all saw that it was you who did it.


    "Yes!" One of the students pointed at Su Xiruo, his voice trembling. "It''s her ¡­ "In this period of time, it''s one thing to have been in the lower classes and have been bullying and insulting the lower classes, but now you''re even trying to kill me!"


    Another student also chimed in, "Right. Dean, please enlighten us and punish this murderous demon!"


    Su Xiruo knew that no matter what he said, he wouldn''t convince others. After all, there were still witnesses to this matter.


    Thus, she spoke indifferently and explained the truth of the matter: "In Dean Lei, there are people who pretend to be students and commit evil deeds everywhere. All of this is not something that a student should do!"


    These words sounded a little ridiculous, but Lei Yuntian obviously couldn''t believe it: "How can we prove that someone was faking it?"


    "Please be patient, Director. I will bring him here immediately." Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, but he was not worried at all in his heart.


    "Alright, then I''ll give you some time to see what you''re up to." From the bottom of his heart, Lei Yuntian was also unwilling to believe that this matter was done by his own student, so he was still willing to give her a chance to explain.


    Therefore, they waited where they were. Su Xiruo did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, she had a smile on her face with a relaxed expression, as if everything was within her control.


    After waiting for a long time, Lei Yuntian still did not see anyone, so he opened his mouth: "Why is your so called proof of identity still not seen?"


    At this time, Mu Lingxi''s voice came from outside the door: "Principal, he''s here!"


    Mu Lingxi and Xiao Muran then tied Su Biyue up and brought her in, forcing her to kneel on the ground, "Kneel!"


    Su Biyue was forced to kneel, but he was unwilling: "Let me go, why did you kidnap me here?"


    "What''s going on?" Lei Yuntian still did not understand, "Su Xiruo, why did you tie up the proof?"


    Su Xiruo then explained to him: "Principal, what I have asked my men to bring here, is not a witness, but a real murderer!"


    Finished speaking, her sharp gaze fell upon Su Biyue''s body.


    Su Biyue lowered his head in guilt, and did his best to defend himself: "Su Xiruo, don''t speak nonsense! There were clearly people who saw you kill them, but it''s fine if you don''t admit it now, but do you still want to drag me down to face the consequences? "


    Lei Yuntian naturally did not believe his ridiculous words, "What a bunch of nonsense!"


    "Dean, please listen to my explanation." "During this period of time, it was Su Biyue who pretended to be me every time and humiliated the lower class students. Last night, she was also the one who used a disguise technique to change into my appearance, imitate me, and kill this female student.


    Hearing that, Su Biyue could not help but laugh: "Haha, Su Xiruo, I''m afraid even you are finding it funny that you said those ridiculous words out loud right? "Even if you want to slander me, you have to give me proof!"


    "Su Xiruo, every word you have just said, if there is no evidence, is just slander!" After Lei Yuntian heard this, he also felt that something was off.


    Su Xiruo''s words just now were like a lie made up of thin air. If there was no evidence, normal people would not have believed him.


    "Of course there is evidence. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be speaking nonsense." Su Xiruo smiled mysteriously and glanced at Su Biyue.


    Seeing that she was full of confidence, Su Biyue immediately became even more guilty, and continued to ask: "Since there is evidence, then take it out.


    "The evidence is right in front of you!" Su Xiruo pointed to the female corpse at the side.


    Immediately, Su Biyue could not help but laugh out loud: "Su Xiruo, I think you have exhausted all your tricks right? What can a corpse prove to you? I advise you to quickly confess your crimes. Perhaps the Headmaster will see that your attitude is sincere, so that you can experience less suffering! "


    Su Xiruo walked forward and removed the white cloth that covered the female corpse. In the next second, Lei Yuntian became anxious and shouted: "Su Xiruo, what are you doing?"


    However, before he could even reprimand Su Xiruo, the female corpse miraculously came back to life and kneeled on the ground and bowed to Lei Yuntian: "Student, greets Dean Lei."


    "This... "What''s going on?" Lei Yuntian was a little confused now.


    When Su Biyue saw that the female student had come to life, his eyes widened and his soul was scattered in fright.


    How was this possible? She clearly remembered that she was the one who had tried to kill him. This female student was definitely going to die, but why was she now standing before her, unharmed?


    "Dean, let me tell everyone the truth." The female student looked at Su Xiruo, "The one who killed me was not Su Xiruo, but her, Su Biyue!"


    The female student pointed at Su Biyue with a determined tone.


    "Don''t spout nonsense!" Su Biyue''s mind was in a mess, "Even the eyewitnesses could see that it was Su Xiruo who did it, what right do you have to say it was me?"


    "Because you are an impostor!" The female student slowly stood up and glared at Su Biyue, "It was you who disguised yourself as Su Xiruo, committed evil deeds everywhere, and even had the intention to kill. Those witnesses saw that Su Biyue was disguised as the Sister Cyril! "


    Lei Yuntian more or less understood what the female student meant: "There''s actually such a thing."


    Su Biyue shook his head with all his might, denying his own crime: "Don''t speak nonsense. If there really were two of them, how could you tell who was real and who wasn''t?"


    The female student smiled as if she knew she was going to say this. "That''s easy. When I was killed yesterday, I had a bloody scratch on the killer''s arm as I struggled."


    Then, she turned around and asked the students who had witnessed it, "I think you all saw it too!"


    A few students carefully recalled the scene and then lightly nodded their heads. In their hearts, they had a deep impression of the female students struggling before their deaths.


    When Su Biyue heard this, he subconsciously retracted his arm and did not speak anymore. He probably realized that he was going to be exposed soon.


    "So, Dean Lei!" Mu Lingxi took a step forward, "It''s easy to determine who is the real culprit. Get Su Xiruo and Su Biyue to move their arms away, and whoever has blood on their arms will be the real culprit!"


    Lei Yuntian nodded his head slightly, then ordered: "The two of you, raise your sleeves and look at each other, and prove your innocence!"


    Su Xiruo let out a cold snort. He pulled open both his sleeves, but it was completely clean without even the slightest of scars, let alone any bloodstains.


    Soon after, Xiao Muran saw that Su Biyue was not moving at all, and purposely said: "Su Biyue, quickly open the door and let us see!"


    Su Biyue remained calm and collected, probably wanting to make his last struggle.


    Lei Yuntian saw that her expression was strange, and ordered: "Men, pull up her sleeves and take a look!"


    "Yes sir!"


    "Dean Lei, let me do it for you!" Xiao Muran volunteered himself and instantly pulled Su Biyue''s sleeves, revealing a sinister bloody scar. It was no different from what the female student had described!

 C152

    Su Biyue hurriedly explained: "These are the scars I left on the Duel Yard, they don''t mean anything!"


    "Stop quibbling." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile and said coldly, "The fake dagger that you are wearing is indeed very similar to my Can Meng, but a fake is still fake!"


    With that, she took out the forged "dagger" from Su Biyue''s sleeve, took out her own Can Meng, and showed the two of them to Lei Yuntian.


    "Dean, please take a look. With your discerning eyes, you should be able to recognize the difference between these two daggers."


    Lei Yuntian took the two daggers and examined them closely. Indeed, he was able to see the difference between the two daggers!


    Although the appearance of these two Spiritual Artifact did not make much of a difference, the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength inside the Can Meng was unceasing, and the other one was an ordinary Spiritual Ranked Spiritual Artifact. The two could be said to be like heaven and earth.


    Su Xiruo let the female student take a step forward. The female student pointed to the wound on her chest and said, "The Principal can inspect it clearly!"


    Lei Yuntian frowned, the wound was indeed fatal, he had used up almost all of his strength, but the blade was blunt, so the person holding the blade must have used up a bit of strength.


    In short, this wound definitely did not come from a High Ranked Spiritual Artifact like the Can Meng.


    Even at this point, Su Biyue still refused to admit it: "Su Xiruo, if you''re really so smart, why didn''t you expose me last night? What are you waiting for today for?"


    Su Xiruo laughed in ridicule, and decided to just let her go. "That''s because I still have to personally watch you change your clothes and destroy the evidence!"


    Then, she turned to Xiao Muran and said: "Xiao Muran, take out the thing!"


    As a result, Xiao Muran opened the wooden chest he had opened last night. Inside were neatly packed the white dress he had worn last night as well as the silver mask.


    "This, this is the clothes!" The students by the side whispered.


    Xiao Muran then reported to Lei Yuntian: Dean Lei, this evidence was found in Su Biyue''s room together with the mercenaries. The witness'' evidence is conclusive, Su Biyue, don''t even think about denying it!


    Su Biyue was stupefied, as though he did not expect Su Xiruo to do this to him, "You, you are simply shameless and despicable!"


    "In terms of shamelessness and shamelessness, I am not even half as good as you." Su Xiruo laughed lightly, "In this period of time, I have been focusing all my attention on the competition and was too busy to care about the matters of the outside world, so I let you take the opportunity to slander me, it is not that I do not dare to retaliate, it is just that I do not want to waste time on such a silly matter, but now, you have become even stronger, and are doing such a thing, do you think that I will still be able to tolerate you?"


    Su Biyue''s fingers curled tightly, wishing for nothing more than to go up and slap Su Xiruo: "Su Xiruo, you slut, I''m going to kill you!"


    "Enough!" Lei Yuntian reprimanded with cold words, and a burst of force knocked Su Biyue to the ground, causing him to be unable to move.


    Lei Yuntian''s face was filled with anger. "Su Biyue, you mercilessly killed a student and you even brought disaster upon Su Xiruo, you are truly unforgivable!"


    Su Biyue''s heart trembled, he probably felt it, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: Principal, I know I was wrong, I do not dare anymore, I hope Principal can let me go, and let me off this easily!


    Lei Yuntian sighed helplessly, "It''s truly sinful, my Mercenary Academy having a student like you is simply a humiliation! Men, get Su Biyue out of the Mercenary Academy immediately, and never enter again! "


    This was already the biggest punishment for a student.


    Su Biyue seemed to be slightly unwilling: "Dean Lei, I''m begging you, you can punish me however you want, but don''t chase me away!"


    If he really left the Mercenary Academy, he would not even have the chance to get close to Yun Qian, nor would he have the chance to take revenge on Su Xiruo!


    Therefore, no matter what, she didn''t want to leave the academy!


    "Stop talking!" Lei Yuntian interrupted her words coldly, "You should be glad that no one died, otherwise, it would not be as simple as exiting the Academy!"


    Following that, Lei Yuntian ordered the mercenaries by his side: "Men, chase her out of the academy, expel her from school for eternity.


    "Yes sir!" When the mercenaries heard the order, they simply dragged Su Biyue out with one hand. No matter how Su Biyue wailed, they all felt extremely satisfied.


    Mu Lingxi slightly heaved a sigh of relief and ran over to Su Xiruo''s side: "Xiruo, you really are scaring us to death. Why don''t you discuss last night''s matter with us first?"


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Su Xiruo laughed, and in his heart, he immediately felt a sense of pride.


    He had finally settled that annoying fly called Su Biyue. In the future, he would no longer need to see her flying around in front of him all the time.


    Lei Yuntian''s gaze landed on Su Xiruo, and his tone became gentler: "Su Xiruo, this matter, it is this old man''s fault that I did not understand, wronged you, and caused you to suffer, this old man will compensate you."


    Never would he have thought that the honorable Headmaster of the Mercenary Academy would speak in such an amiable manner, without the slightest arrogance.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo was overwhelmed by the favor, "Dean Lei, you are being too serious, I have to thank you for giving me a chance to explain."


    Then, Lei Yuntian asked another question: "This year''s competition, I heard that you also signed up?"


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo did not deny it.


    Lei Yuntian sized her up and nodded in satisfaction. "Good, your courage deserves praise."


    The little girl looked to be only around fifteen years old, but she had already broken through the Spirit Monarch. Such a talent, if placed in the entire Fine Star Continent, could also be considered top-notch!


    It seems that the eyes of Yun Qian, that little ancestor, are not bad!


    "There are still five days before the start of the competition. This old man believes that you will definitely be able to achieve satisfactory results." Lei Yuntian still thought highly of this little girl.


    "Thank you for the dean''s encouragement. I will definitely give it my all." Receiving the Dean Lei''s encouragement, Su Xiruo was still quite happy in his heart.


    At this point, all the problems were basically solved. She could finally relax a little and fully prepare for this competition!


    Su Biyue was carried out by two mercenaries and thrown into the Mercenary Academy realm: "Scram, from now on, don''t even think about taking a half-step into the Mercenary Academy!"


    Finished speaking, the two mercenaries turned around and left.


    Su Biyue crawled up from the ground in a flustered and exasperated state: "Damn it, who cares about Mercenary Academy? If not for my revenge on Su Xiruo, I would have never stayed in this crappy place for a long time! "


    "Bi Yue." Suddenly, a familiar voice came into his ears. Su Biyue took a closer look and saw Zhang Bingde walking out of the academy.


    Su Biyue snorted coldly, as if he was dissatisfied: "When I was kicked out of the academy by the Dean Lei, where did you run off to? Now that you''re worried about me, what''s the use?"


    Zhang Bingde looked around him and spoke in a suppressed voice: "I''m sorry, Bi Yue, you should know that I am only a guard by the side of General Helian and my abilities are limited. I was simply unable to enter the main hall just now, so I was unable to help you."


    Then, he vowed solemnly, "Bi Yue, but it''s alright. If you still want to enter the academy to see the General Helian, I can still think of a way to help you."


    "What can you do? Right now, I can''t even beat that Su Xiruo! " Su Biyue''s fingers curled tightly, suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.


    That''s right! Since he couldn''t defeat Su Xiruo, he might as well think of a way to use this opportunity to teach her a lesson!


    She suddenly thought back to that night when she had overheard Su Xiruo and Lin Yuan''s conversation.


    Su Xiruo was someone close to Poison Sovereign, and had come to the Academy on behalf of Poison Sovereign, in order to obtain Yun Qian''s Beast Core. If Poison Sovereign knew that Su Xiruo was sincere towards Yun Qian, what reaction would he have?


    Thinking of this, the corner of Su Biyue''s lips slightly rose, as a good idea suddenly appeared in his heart!


    Since that was the case, she would make a trip to the Poison Sect and reveal the entirety of the relationship between Su Xiruo and Yun Qian, and let Poison Sovereign personally punish that woman!

 C153

    "Bi Yue." Seeing Su Biyue not saying anything, Zhang Bingde thought that she was sulking and advised, "Don''t be sad."


    "Enough!" Su Biyue interrupted Zhang Bingde with a look of displeasure, and said casually, "I''m going to another place now, and might return to the Academy."


    Zhang Bingde was startled for a moment: "Then I''ll accompany you. I''ll go wherever you go!"


    "What''s the use of you coming with me?" Su Biyue did not even want to bother with him, "If you want to stay in the Academy, I will be back soon. If you want to return to the Academy, I will need your help."


    Seeing that she still needed him, Zhang Bingde was already very happy in his heart. "Alright, Bi Yue, then I''ll be waiting for you at the academy.


    "Got it." Su Biyue threw these three words aside and turned to leave.


    She went to the nearest market, spent three hundred silver, rented a flying spirit beast, and rushed straight to the Poison Sect. However, even with a flying spirit beast, she still spent three whole days to reach the Poison Sect Realm.


    The Poison Sect was located in the most central area of the Fine Star Continent, a place that did not belong to any of the four great empires, and belonged to a place that had no one controlling him.


    The Poison Sect was dark and vast, and there were quite a few guards guarding outside. Perhaps, even a fly would find it difficult to fly in.


    Just as Su Biyue wanted to go forward, he was stopped by a guard. "You dare to challenge someone in the Poison Sect realm, you must be tired of living, right?"


    The two guards, were actually of the Heavenly Spirit Master''s strength!


    Su Biyue''s eyes widened, and immediately started to panic a little. This Poison Sect was truly worthy of being a great power that the Four Great Empires could not afford to offend, even a small guard was considered a Heavenly Spirit Master!


    However, Su Biyue still pretended to be calm and welcomed her with a smile: "My name is Su Biyue, I am here to pay my respects to Poison Sovereign."


    "How dare you!" Our High Lord is not someone that a nameless person can meet just because he wants to! " The guard snapped coldly.


    "My two big brothers, please calm your anger. I am your Young Master, a good friend of Su Xiruo. I was entrusted by her to come to see Poison Sovereign." Su Biyue calmly announced Su Xiruo''s name.


    The two guards looked at each other, the expression on their faces easing up.


    After all, other than the people from Poison Sect, no one knew the identity of their Young Master. Since this woman knew the identity of their Young Master, it meant that it was more or less related to Poison Sect.


    Thus, the guard agreed and said, "Wait a moment, I will go report to the High Lord right away."


    "Sorry for troubling you, big brother." Su Biyue''s tone was also extremely polite.


    He patiently waited outside for a good while before the guard returned and gestured a "please" to Su Biyue: "High Lord allows you to go in to see him for a bit.


    "Thank you very much." With his wish granted, Su Biyue was extremely happy in his heart, so he obediently followed behind the guard without saying a word.


    The Poison Sect was still quite large, and after walking for a long distance, what blocked his way was a purple black swamp, the guards were the first to fill up the spirit ship, and Su Biyue also jumped onto it.


    Sitting on the spirit ship, she seemed to be able to feel the terror of this swamp. If she accidentally fell into it, she would instantly turn into a corpse.


    After passing through the swamp, Su Biyue followed the guards and walked through a few palaces, finally arriving at the inner hall where the Poison Sovereign was.


    "Miss, please come in!" The guard opened the door and Su Biyue carefully walked in. In the next second, the door closed.


    The decorations of the entire palace were extremely dim, bringing about an oppressive and cold atmosphere. Poison Sovereign was seated at the seat of honor, coldly staring at her, showing her might without getting angry.


    Immediately, the strong fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength made it difficult for Su Biyue to breathe. This was the Qi of a Ranker.


    Su Biyue knelt down and bowed respectfully: "My daughter Su Biyue greets Poison Sovereign."


    Poison Sovereign frivolously asked: "You came from the Mercenary Academy?"


    "That''s right. I''m a friend of Xiruo, and accidentally discovered her identity, but I absolutely have no malicious intent." Su Biyue began to flatter her, "Furthermore, I am also a Poison Master, I have always admired your great name, and seeing you today, you are truly extraordinary!"


    "Just say what you want to say." The Poison Sovereign interrupted him with cold words, unwilling to listen to such nonsense.


    Su Biyue smiled mysteriously: "This little girl also knows, that the reason Poison Sovereign sent Xiruo to head to the Mercenary Academy and get close to Helian Yunqian, was precisely because of his Beast Core."


    Poison Sovereign squinted, revealing a dangerous aura, "You know too much."


    "No, listen to me." Su Biyue continued to speak, "Helian Yunqian has deep feelings for Xiruo, as long as Xiruo wants to make a move, she will definitely be able to obtain it. However, Poison Sovereign is also suspicious, why is it that after almost a year, Xiruo still hasn''t retrieved her Beast Core?"


    Poison Sovereign scoffed coldly. When this matter was brought up, he immediately felt a little unhappy in his heart.


    He had already suspected that Su Xiruo was sincere towards him, but after hearing what Su Biyue said, he was even more sure.


    "What are you trying to tell me?" Poison Sovereign only wanted her to get straight to the point.


    "I just feel that it''s not worth it for Poison Sovereign." Su Biyue began to play a hand in hand with her, "You have wholeheartedly nurtured Su Xiruo, but she has repaid you with kindness and hatred, and when she moved her heart to Helian Yunqian, she kept on lying to you!"


    "Shut up!" Poison Sovereign reprimanded coldly, "These words are also what you can say?"


    Su Biyue was so scared that he knelt down and tried to calm himself down, then said: "Poison Sovereign, please calm your anger, today, I have come to inform you of this fact, and also to show my loyalty to you!"


    "You want to rely on me?" Poison Sovereign looked at her in disdain, "You think you are worthy?"


    "I don''t dare." Su Biyue immediately denied it, "I''m guessing that Poison Sovereign is thoroughly disappointed in Su Xiruo. Coincidentally, I feel the same way!"


    Su Biyue''s intention was simple. She revealed all of Su Xiruo''s secrets to Poison Sovereign in hopes that he would stand on the same front as her and teach him a lesson.


    If the Poison Sovereign were to make a move, Su Xiruo would probably not be able to be with Yun Qian and he would have achieved his goal!


    "Heh, you finally spoke the truth." The Poison Sovereign laughed sarcastically, "Then do you know where Helian Yunqian is right now?"


    Su Biyue blurted out without hiding anything, "At this time, General Helian is at the back of the mountain in Mercenary Academy, having been in closed-door training for nearly two months!"


    "You didn''t lie to me?"


    Su Biyue''s tone was determined: "If I am lying to you, then just kill me!"


    Hearing this, Poison Sovereign stood up, "Heh, good, my good daughter, you actually lied to me!"


    He remembered before, Su Xiruo had told him that Helian Yunqian had gone back to the Dragon Seal Empire, and now he could confirm that Su Xiruo was lying to him.


    Su Biyue slightly lowered his head, secretly rejoicing, thinking, I probably won''t let Su Xiruo off so easily this time!


    "Your name is Su Biyue?" At this time, the Poison Sovereign calmed down a little and asked her.


    "That''s right!"


    "Alright." The Poison Sovereign nodded his head, "This sovereign will give you a chance. You can do something for this sovereign, and if it succeeds, I will believe you. I can agree to one of your requests."


    Su Biyue didn''t know how happy he was, and immediately agreed: "Poison Sovereign, feel free to instruct me!"


    Poison Sovereign took out a bottle of medicine from the Storage Ring and handed it over to Su Biyue. Su Biyue took the bottle and knew that the bottle contained poison that would cause respect: "What is this?"


    The Poison Sovereign then explained to her: "A Seventh Rank is suppressing a Seventh Rank spirit beast. A Water Qilin has already been here for dozens of years, and there is a faint trend of them breaking through the Seal.


    "Poison Sovereign is making me... Release the Water Qilin? " When Su Biyue heard this, his hands began to tremble.


    "That''s right!" The Poison Sovereign did not deny it, "As long as you release that Water Qilin, even if you complete the mission this sovereign gave you, you don''t need to care about the rest!"

 C154

    "But, that is a Seventh Rank spirit beast. If it is released, I''m afraid it will harm the entire Mercenary Academy!" In Su Biyue''s heart, he was somewhat worried. He didn''t really understand the purpose of Poison Sovereign''s actions.


    Poison Sovereign glanced at her coldly. "Are you trying to protect the Mercenary Academy?"


    "No, no!" Su Biyue immediately denied it. She was just afraid that this matter would bring about her death.


    She hated everything that happened in the academy, hated everyone in the academy. She wished that the entire academy could be destroyed, but she was worried that if someone found out that she was the one who did it, she would be the one to suffer!


    "Since that''s not the case, then do as I say." Poison Sovereign was too lazy to explain to her, "If just one Water Qilin could cause chaos in my Mercenary Academy, that would only mean that Lei Yuntian, that old fellow, is too useless!"


    Seeing that the Poison Sovereign was getting impatient, Su Biyue did not ask anymore and agreed immediately: "Yes, I will definitely complete the mission!"


    "Very good." Poison Sovereign was fairly satisfied with her performance, "When you finish your mission, this sovereign will agree to let you join my Poison Sect. From now on, you will be my person in Poison Sect!"


    "Thank you, Poison Sovereign." Thank you, Poison Sovereign. Su Biyue bowed slightly, and after bowing, he turned and left the main hall.


    Poison Sovereign looked at Su Biyue''s leaving figure, snorted coldly, and curled his fingers tightly, grabbing the teacup in his hand, turning it into powder!


    He would give Su Xiruo one last chance, if Su Xiruo could still satisfy him, he could let bygones be bygones, but if it was really as Su Biyue said, then don''t blame him for being ruthless!


    Inside the room, the golden Spiritual Strength circled around as Su Xiruo opened his eyes.


    Finally, the night before the competition, she successfully rose to two star Spirit Monarch and her Spiritual Strength greatly increased. Like this, she had a greater chance of winning against Long Mochen.


    Early in the morning, Su Biyue coincidentally returned to the Mercenary Academy and specially wore a mask, afraid that he would be recognized by the guards.


    "Miss, you cannot casually enter this Mercenary Academy!" The guard blocked Su Biyue''s path and spoke with justice.


    Su Biyue took a step forward, and said without hurry: "Do you have a manager called Zhang Bingde in your academy? I''m here to look for him. I''ll have to trouble the two big brothers to let me know! "


    "Zhang Bingde?" The two guards frowned, before they could say anything, Zhang Bingde had appeared.


    "She''s my friend." Zhang Bingde slowly walked out of the Academy, stood in front of Su Biyue and said to the two guards.


    Ever since Su Biyue left the academy, Zhang Bingde secretly sent people to stand guard at the entrance, thinking that if Su Biyue ever came back, it would be the first time he would know about this news.


    "Zhang Bingde." One of the guards warned him, "Do not bring anyone in and out of this Mercenary Academy, if something happens, you are responsible!"


    "Got it, this is my friend. He came to find me. What can happen to him?" Zhang Bingde looked like he did not care at all, "If anything happens, just come find me!"


    With that, he pulled Su Biyue''s hand and entered Mercenary Academy. In a place where there was no one around, Su Biyue shook his hand off in disgust.


    Zhang Bingde stared blankly for a moment, and laughed instead of getting angry: "Bi Yue, I didn''t think that you would return so quickly. I had thought that it would take a long time."


    Su Biyue was too lazy to give him a good look and went straight to the point: "I still have things to do, so I won''t tell you about them now!"


    "What are you going to do? I can help you!" Zhang Bingde was still unwilling to give up. "Today is the day of the Academy''s competition, and all the students are waiting in the training grounds near the rear mountains."


    "Today is the Great Games." Su Biyue rolled his eyes and could not help but laugh.


    That was a good day, and then few people would notice what they had done.


    "Bi Yue, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Bingde saw that she was deep in thought and laughed, and could not help but ask.


    Su Biyue regained his senses: "Bring me to the training grounds."


    There would definitely be a lot of people in today''s training ground. As long as he kept a low profile and went there, he would not be recognized by anyone!


    "Alright, come with me." Zhang Bingde immediately agreed, and took Su Biyue to the bustling training grounds.


    The stadium was grand and imposing, but the stadium was still bustling with noise and excitement. After all, the competition was held only once a year for the Mercenary Academy, and it truly belonged to the competition of the Mercenary Academy elites.


    Firstly, one must have the strength of a Spirit Monarch to participate in the competition. Secondly, one must have the strength of a student with Mercenary Academy less than three years old.


    As a result, in this competition, there were only eight true participants, and six of them were students from Senior Class. This year, for the first time in history, there were two participants from the low-ranked classes, Su Xiruo and Yun Lan!


    In the past competitions, there were basically no low-level classes. Even if there was an occasional person who participated, most of them would be eliminated in the first round.


    Therefore, people of Senior Class naturally did not put the lower class in their eyes.


    Today, the two Elders of the Academy and the Dean Lei were present at the scene. The Barrier on the side of the stage had a crystal clear Flying Feather Spirit, which was the prize of the competition as well as the Seventh Rank ingredients!


    Even if they weren''t physicians or Poison Master s, they would still be tempted by this kind of rare medicinal herb!


    Su Biyue followed Zhang Bingde to the training grounds and couldn''t help but ask her: "Bi Yue, what are you doing here?"


    Su Biyue did not intend to answer his question: "Then there''s no need for you to care."


    Zhang Bingde bit his lower lip and reminded her with good intentions: "Bi Yue, it''s not that I want to say anything, but you saw it today. Even Dean Lei is here. I''m worried that something might have happened to you. "


    "Alright, stop it." Su Biyue impatiently interrupted him, "I know what I''m doing, don''t worry about me."


    After he finished speaking, Su Biyue went his own way, attempting to throw Zhang Bingde off.


    At this time, the Second Elder personally went up onto the stage, and the competition had already begun: "First round, Long Mochen against Luo Yu."


    The first match was Long Mochen''s battle, and all the students below the stage held their breaths, waiting and watching. He could probably guess the result.


    "This Senior Martial Brother Long will definitely win!"


    "Of course. Although Senior Brother Luo Yu is also very strong, she''s only at the high-level Heavenly Ranked Class after all. There''s a huge gap between her and Senior Brother Long!"


    "The disparity in strength is too great."


    Su Xiruo sat on the stage, calmly watching everything that happened, as though he was looking forward to Long Mochen''s actions.


    and Luo Yu flew up to the stage together. Long Mochen''s expression was indifferent, while Luo Yu, who was standing to the side with a nervous expression, was facing Long Mochen. Her limbs were trembling, probably thinking about why she was so weak yesterday, and why she had met Senior Brother Long in the first round.


    In any case, he was still a two star Spirit Monarch. If he were to meet students from the low level classes, he would have a slight chance of winning. But right now, he was afraid that he would be struck down in the first round.


    "Let''s begin." Seeing him remain calm, Long Mochen reminded him.


    "Alright." Luo Yu slightly nodded, took out her weapon and flew out. Her metal attribute Spiritual Strength shot out, heading straight for Long Mochen''s face!


    [I don''t care. Even if I die, I will die a little. If I am killed before I can make a move, it would be a true humiliation!]


    Long Mochen''s expression did not change. The berserk purplish black Spiritual Strength in his palm had already been prepared for a long time, as he met Luo Yu head on.


    Suddenly, that powerful suppressive force rushed over. Luo Yu felt that it was difficult for her to even breathe in the air. Senior brother Long''s Spiritual Strength''s suppression was too terrifying!


    In the next second, without any suspense, the two Spiritual Strength s clashed with each other and Luo Yu was flung out, vomiting blood and falling to the ground. With just one move, she was easily killed by Long Mochen!

 C155

    Everyone below the stage sighed. Even though they knew this would be the result, they still couldn''t help but to feel respect for Long Mochen!


    Even if his opponent was Spirit Monarch, he could still insta-kill him, and not give his opponent any face or opportunity at all! But Long Mochen''s strength had allowed him to do so!


    Long Mochen slowly walked closer and said with a bow to Luo Yu, "Junior Brother, I''m sorry."


    He was still quite polite to his junior brother, but there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.


    To him, every single person in the academy was no match for him. It seemed that he really wasn''t suitable to continue staying in the Mercenary Academy.


    He needed an even larger world!


    "Long Mochen wins!"


    No one would be surprised by such an outcome.


    "Second round, Yun Lan against Lu Qingmo."


    Upon hearing this, the people at the Divine Ranked Class One area all sighed. Their Divine Ranked Class One''s only hope was that they would run into a student at the advanced Divine Ranked Class level right away.


    But, Yun Lan did not have any fear, he calmly and stably went up the stage to face Lu Qingmo.


    He had just advanced in Spirit Monarch, and knew that his strength was still unstable. It was also unlikely that he could excel in a group of Spirit Monarch.


    The two of them clashed with their weapons, Lu Qingmo did not use his full strength, he probably wanted to give some leeway to the lower classmen, he did not want them to lose too miserably.


    But even so, the difference between the two of them was still very large. Yun Lan had always been at a disadvantage, and never stopped. In the end, he still lost to Lu Qingmo.


    "Lu Qingmo wins!"


    Yun Lan sighed helplessly. Although he had already expected such an outcome, he was still unwilling.


    "Junior Brother Yun Lan." Lu Qingmo looked at him, "Your talent is still satisfactory. In two more years, you will definitely be able to mature."


    "Thank you for your praise, Senior Brother." Only, Yun Lan was not too willing to hear such praise. He casually replied and then left the stage.


    "Third match, Su Xiruo against Yuan Qing."


    He seemed to feel that Su Xiruo''s luck was really good, to think that he would actually bump into the weakest Senior Class student present.


    Yuan Qing, who had only recently advanced to a two star Spirit Monarch, could not be considered good in terms of Senior Class. It could only be said that with Su Xiruo''s luck, he had met an opponent whose strength was not considered strong right from the start, and would at least be able to enter the second round.


    "Ho ¡­ This girl''s luck is truly good." Jin Se watched from below the stage, his fingerbone tightly curled up, completely unwilling to give up.


    However, this was also good. This way, he might be able to teach that damned girl a lesson in the next round!


    "Senior Sister Jin Se, the other six people have already gone up. The final round should be between us." Chu Qingci who was standing at the side spoke weakly, his heart seemingly not feeling comfortable.


    She had also recently advanced to two star Spirit Monarch, but why wasn''t she as lucky as Su Xiruo? In the first round, she actually bumped into Senior Sister Jin Se!


    "Heh, that''s perfect. I won''t need to spend too much effort to deal with you in the first round." Jin Se did not place her in his eyes at all, his tone was extremely arrogant.


    Hearing her words, Chu Qingci was extremely unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he could only agree, "Senior Sister is right."


    At this time, Su Xiruo and Yuan Qing had already ascended the stage. As they neared each other, Su Xiruo could sense that his opponent was also a two star Spirit Monarch.


    With his current strength, dealing with Spirit Monarch of the same level shouldn''t be too much of a problem.


    On the other hand, Yuan Qing did not place Su Xiruo in her eyes at all. She probably felt that it was impossible for a low level class student to be her opponent.


    "Su Xiruo, I heard that you are very famous in the lower classes, and it is rare to see you here, but I think that you are only so-so, right?" Yuan Qing intentionally ridiculed Duan Ling Tian as soon as he got on the arena.


    This girl looked extremely frail. Was she really Spirit Monarch? And, it could even beat Yun Lan''s Spirit Monarch? He still had some doubts in his heart.


    Being mocked by Yuan Qing, Su Xiruo did not get angry, but instead laughed: "Senior Brother, the rumors of the people around us are not to be trusted.


    The meaning behind her words was very simple. She wanted Yuan Qing to take action, there was no need to waste words.


    "Heh, I saw through the point of being arrogant." Yuan Qing humphed coldly and said, "However, you are not the same as before. Don''t think that you can challenge the authority of Senior Class just because you are dominating those lower class students!"


    With that, Yuan Qing took action. It was a silver white axe, although it looked extremely heavy and bulky, but in Yuan Qing''s hands, it was as light as a flexible sword, being easily released and retracted.


    Before Su Xiruo could even take out his weapon, the giant axe slashed down on his face, bringing with it a golden energy, it was extremely suppressive.


    She stepped back as her giant axe slashed the white jade slab down to a high point, causing a crack to appear on the stage. Su Xiruo then jumped to behind Yuan Qing, causing her to turn around, and with another swing of her axe, she broke all the railings on the stage.


    However, Su Xiruo was completely unharmed, or it could be said that Yuan Qing''s Spiritual Artifact, was not even able to touch a hair on Su Xiruo, and before it could even reach him, it was easily dodged.


    The stage was filled with cracks left behind by the Spiritual Artifact, but Yuan Qing could no longer stay calm. He felt that he had been played by this girl?


    "Su Xiruo!" Yuan Qing inserted the huge axe into the ground, causing a small crack to appear. "You want to play hide-and-seek with me like this, what kind of skill is that?" If you have the ability, come face to face with me.


    Su Xiruo lightly jumped to the ground and laughed: "Senior Brother Yuan Qing, I''m just taking your face into consideration, I''m worried that you might lose too badly."


    What she meant was, if we face each other head on, you might lose even more miserably!


    Instantly, Yuan Qing was thoroughly angered by her words. Her eyes were bloodshot as she exclaimed, "Truly boasting and overestimating your capabilities. Today, I''ll make you regret your actions!"


    As his words fell, his entire body was enveloped by a golden Spiritual Strength, and everyone below the stage knew, that Senior Brother Yuan Qing was going to use Spiritual Skill, using his absolute strength to suppress this girl!


    The golden yellow halo of light enveloped Su Xiruo within, as if it would devour her in the next second.


    "This guy''s Spiritual Skill, seems to be pretty strong." Mu Lingxi slowly stood up, and couldn''t help but be a little worried.


    Looking at the Spiritual Skill, it should at least be above Heavenly Ranked!


    "Don''t worry, what if Xi''er also has Spirit Monarch and Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill? Could it be that Xi Men Yi is afraid that he won''t succeed?" Bai Yanxi who was at the side, wasn''t worried in the slightest. It was probably because he felt that the more critical a situation like this was, the more likely Xi Ruo would turn the situation into something miraculous!


    Su Xiruo was trapped in the halo, the strong suppression made it hard for her to breathe. She calmed her breathing, the Can Meng slashed across the sky, causing the halo to cut open.


    Seeing the situation, Yuan Qing raised his gigantic axe and slashed at Su Xiruo. This time, Su Xiruo did not dodge at all and held his Can Meng horizontally as the golden Spiritual Strength clashed head on!


    The moment they collided, Yuan Qing felt that his own Spiritual Artifact had been completely suppressed, going against the dagger, and even the Spiritual Strength had leaked out a bit. By the time he managed to react, he had already been struck by Su Xiruo''s energy, and was sent flying backwards.


    Su Xiruo lightly landed on the ground, the Can Meng in his hand was coated with a layer of silver white light, the Spiritual Strength on the blade, was much stronger than before!


    Is this an upgrade?


    Su Xiruo also did not expect that the Can Meng would actually use the exchange of Spiritual Skill s to advance to the early stage of Heavenly Ranked!


    Yuan Qing crawled up from the ground. He never thought that he would lose so straightforwardly. "You ¡­" What kind of Spiritual Artifact is this? "


    He had originally thought that Su Xiruo''s previous words were just a taunt on him, but it was really true. If they had fought face to face, he would have lost even more miserably than he did now.


    Su Xiruo did not answer his question. Instead, she leisurely opened her mouth and said, "Senior Brother, you have let me win!"


    Yuan Qing''s fingers curled up tightly and he smashed the ground. He was completely unresigned. He had actually lost to a little girl from the low-level class!

 C156

    "How is this possible?" "Yuan Qing clearly had two star Spirit Monarch, yet she was actually defeated so easily by Su Xiruo. Isn''t Su Xiruo a one star Spirit Monarch?"


    Could it be that in this short period of over a month, Su Xiruo had advanced another level?


    However, even if Su Xiruo reached two star Spirit Monarch, it wouldn''t be so easy for him to win against someone of the same level as him!


    Thinking up to this point, she couldn''t help but feel a little flustered.


    After Su Xiruo got off the stage, cheers came from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three side. Long Mochen could not help but turn his head and glance at Su Xiruo from afar, thinking about something as he smiled.


    , this girl, was a little interesting. A few days ago, he saw her with a one star Spirit Monarch.


    He didn''t know why, but it was obvious that she was only a two star Spirit Monarch, yet it made him excited in his heart. It was probably because he felt that this young lady was extremely likely to become his opponent.


    "Fourth round, Chu Qingci against Jin Se!"


    What''s coming is finally coming. Chu Qingci said to Jin Se with a fawning face: "Senior Sister, I know that I''m not your opponent. You must show me some mercy later!"


    Jin Se scoffed, ignored her, and went up the stage.


    And at this time, Ye Zhuozhuo passed through the crowds of people, wanting to go to the Heavenly Ranked Class Three place, but there were simply too many people, and the training grounds were very big, so he got lost while walking.


    Helplessly sighing, Ye Zhuozhuo said dejectedly: "Aren''t there too many people? If I had known earlier, I would have come over with A Xi and the others."


    And now, she had to walk through the crowd to find someone. This was the most troublesome thing for her.


    Su Biyue stood not far away, and when he saw Ye Zhuozhuo''s figure, his eyes immediately lit up, as though he had thought of something.


    Ah, she actually found a scapegoat! Ye Zhuozhuo, I''m sorry, who let you suddenly appear in front of me, I''ll let you be my scapegoat!


    As a result, Su Biyue got a little closer, raised his hand and gently threw two poison needles at the back of Ye Zhuozhuo''s head. In an instant, Ye Zhuozhuo''s vision went dark, and as if he had lost consciousness, he closed his eyes.


    In the next second, he opened his eyes, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was struck by some enchanting incense, and lost his consciousness. He walked over to Su Biyue resentfully.


    Su Biyue looked at Ye Zhuozhuo, who was in front of him, and laughed satisfactorily. He took out the bottle of poison from his sleeve and handed it over to Ye Zhuozhuo: "Go, go to the side of the Yunshu and release the Water Qilin!"


    Ye Zhuozhuo subconsciously accepted the poison, and turned to head in the direction of Yunshu, in order to ensure success, Su Biyue also secretly followed.


    Today, almost all of the students were at the training grounds observing the competition, there were probably not many who could notice the situation with regards to Yunshu, which was why Su Biyue had this kind of thought, it was probably because he felt that today''s plan was most suitable!


    At this time, the victor of the last match on the stage had already been decided. "Jin Se wins."


    At this time, the first round had already ended. In the end, Su Xiruo, Lu Qingmo, Jin Se and Long Mochen entered the second round.


    After all, other than Su Xiruo, the remaining three people were all high grade Divine Ranked Class students. However, it was already not bad for Su Xiruo to have such a result, since his name was on par with the high grade Divine Ranked Class students. Even if he lost, it would be considered an extreme honor!


    "Heh, what''s left are the elites of Senior Class. I want to see just how she, Su Xiruo, will continue to take advantage of this situation." Jin Se shot Su Xiruo a cold glance, he probably hated her to the bones.


    "That''s right, Senior Sister." Chu Qingci, who had just lost to Jin Se, came to flatter her, "You must teach that Su Xiruo a lesson later. Let her know, what is true strength!"


    Jin Se slightly nodded his head, and then immediately heard the Second Elder''s voice:


    "Second round, first match, Su Xiruo against Jin Se."


    "Heh, I didn''t expect the opportunity to come so soon." Jin Se was instantly beaming with joy, he didn''t know how happy he was.


    Facing Jin Se, Su Xiruo did not have too many surprises, after all, not a single person out of the remaining three was an easy opponent to deal with!


    "Xiruo, be careful, this Jin Se hates you to the bones. I''m worried, what trump card will she leave for you." Bai Yanxi couldn''t help but to remind her, as he was genuinely worried for her.


    After all, Jin Se had Three-star, and was also a high ranking physician in the Profound Rank, her strength was still slightly above Xixi''s.


    "Got it." Su Xiruo nodded his head lightly, with a tap of his feet, he went up the stage. At that moment, Jin Se had already waited for her for a while.


    "Su Xiruo." Seeing that she had come up, Jin Se looked at her with disdain, "What, a cowardly turtle finally dares to come out?"


    Even though the last time he was at the Pear Garden, he was forced back by Su Xiruo in a single move, she was certain that it wasn''t Su Xiruo''s own strength, but merely the help of some external force to deal with him.


    "Senior apprentice-sister, don''t joke." Su Xiruo was not angry, but mocked her, "Otherwise, if I fail in a while, I am afraid Senior Sister will lose too much face!"


    Jin Se curled his fingers tightly, just unable to look at the little girl''s arrogant and conceited look: "Heh, you can even say such arrogant words, then bring out your true abilities, let me see, if you have the qualifications to speak to me like that!"


    With that, the wood attribute Spiritual Strength in Jin Se''s body rose rapidly, causing everyone below the stage to be speechless.


    "From the very beginning, Senior Sister Jin Se had to bring out her full strength!"


    "Senior, you must be thinking of killing this girl in one move to teach her a lesson!"


    "Wait, look ¡­"


    Who knew that after the Spiritual Strength climbed to the Spirit Monarch, it would continue to climb higher and higher until it finally broke through to a terrifying limit, and then it slowly came to a stop!


    "This... Four-star? "


    "Senior Sister Jin Se is actually already a Four-star!"


    "Then this time, Su Xiruo will definitely lose!"


    The people from the Heavenly Ranked Class Three also sweated for Su Xiruo when they saw his strength increase by quite a bit.


    "Why did Jin Se level up?" Xiao Muran was shocked.


    A single Three-star was already a disadvantageous situation for Xiruo. She did not expect that Jin Se had already advanced into the Four-star.


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. He did not have the chance to make a breakthrough Jin Se''s profound strength, and the golden Spiritual Strength around his body continued to climb, breaking through the Spirit Monarch and breaking through one star.


    "Su Xiruo actually already has a two star Spirit Monarch?"


    During the battle between Su Xiruo and Yuan Qing, the people below the stage had only guessed, and should not have confirmed Su Xiruo''s true strength, but now, when she revealed her true level, no one could have predicted it!


    Even Jin Se was startled for a moment, but after changing directions, he did not put it to heart: "So it turns out you already have two star Spirit Monarch, I wonder why did you win so easily, but this time, you met me, winning is not going to be so easy!"


    The Can Meng was the first to make a move. The berserk Spiritual Strength suddenly appeared in front of Jin Se and Jin Se''s body turned into a shadow, disappearing. In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo regained her senses and anxiously raised her hand to block. Although she had barely blocked Jin Se''s blade, her arm was suddenly cut by the golden leaf!


    Jin Se laughed in satisfaction and continued to speed up his attack. The wood attribute Spiritual Strength turned into many sharp blades that shot towards Su Xiruo''s face. Su Xiruo immediately retreated, the Can Meng flew across the sky and formed a golden shield that blocked most of the hidden weapons.


    Afterwards, the six Xi Yan s brought with them a berserk scorching Spiritual Strength and cut off all the remaining hidden weapons.


    "What a pure Yang attribute Spiritual Strength." Shen Shangjing, who was seated below the stage, could not help but to exclaim when he saw this scene.

 C157

    When paired with this unrivalled Spiritual Artifact, Su Xiruo could simply release the Yang attribute Spiritual Strength to its limits. With such terrifying strength, even Shen Shangjing was slightly afraid.


    Fortunately, this girl only had a two star Spirit Monarch. If she was at the same level as him, he wouldn''t have the confidence to defeat Su Xiruo!


    Jin Se frowned. When she made her move, the entire stage was covered by a green barrier, which seemed gentle but was actually incomparably wild and pierced with endless thorns. Even the flower petals that floated down from the sky had become sharp blades that could make one bleed for blood!


    There was nowhere Su Xiruo could dodge. He could only sweep in all directions with the Can Meng, but it was inevitable that he missed something, as there were many places on his body where he had suffered different degrees of injuries.


    "Go to hell!" Suddenly, Jin Se appeared from behind him, holding onto the blade, the berserk Spiritual Strength poured into the blade, wanting to kill him with one move!


    Su Xiruo anxiously turned her head, the opponent''s attack was too fast, she no longer had any chance to resist, she braced herself and grabbed onto Jin Se''s sharp blades, in that moment, both of her hands were stained with blood.


    Jin Se did not stop, he increased his strength and swung the weapon heavily, directly throwing Su Xiruo''s entire body into the air.


    The moment he landed, Su Xiruo clenched his teeth and quickly got up to dodge. In the next second, the place where he landed on was already cut open by Jin Se''s palm wind!


    If that strike had landed on his body, he would have most likely died on the spot.


    "Consider yourself lucky, your reaction is fast!" The move that Jin Se had been accumulating power for a long time, had failed. She was flustered and exasperated, but at that moment, Su Xiruo was holding her in place for nearly two hours, and was truly feeling exhausted.


    From head to toe, Su Xiruo''s body was covered with wounds, his hair was slightly scattered, and on his face, his hands were covered with blood.


    "But after this, you won''t be so lucky!" Jin Se did not waste any more words with her as the Sword Qi flew out horizontally.


    Su Xiruo held onto the Can Meng tightly, the energy flowing through the ground, facing her head on, the two figures flying in the sky, the intense battle never ending!


    Chu Qingci watched from below the stage and was extremely nervous, "What''s going on? Why did Senior Sister take so long to deal with a lowly hand like Su Xiruo?"


    This Su Xiruo, it seems, actually had some skills!


    "Let''s see who wins!" Lu Qingmo, who was at the side, held the mentality of watching a good show. He probably thought that this girl, Su Xiruo, might actually be able to win for the first time.


    Long Mochen, on the other hand, also hoped very urgently that Su Xiruo could win, because he was more and more curious about this woman. He wanted to fight with her personally to see what kind of ability this woman had, to be able to fight with someone two levels higher than her for so long.


    Instantly, thunder flashed across the sky as Su Xiruo raised a fireball and it fell straight to the ground. Jin Se was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the remaining power of the fireball, causing him to crash into the ground.


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, she was not willing to let go of such a great opportunity, and quickly made her move. The Xi Yan brought along the scorching hot Yin Attribute, wrapping Jin Se''s body within it.


    Ah!" Jinsha covered her eyes with her hands and frantically used her spirit energy to form more than ten barriers in an attempt to block the violent attacks in front of her.


    Boom!" Boom ¡ª ¡ª


    However, the Barrier melted layer by layer, Jin Se was hit by the Xi Yan on three vital points, the burning hot Spiritual Strength caused her to fly out from the impact, falling down the stage, spitting blood as she fainted!


    The residual energy of the Sakura Thrust vibrated, and many of the weaker students were affected!


    Su Xiruo landed gently on the ground and retracted his Spiritual Strength. He retracted all the yang attribute Spiritual Strength s that he was about to shout out, in order to prevent more students from being affected by the remaining energy!


    "Senior sister, I''m sorry. In an instant, my attacks became a bit heavier." Su Xiruo faced the people who fainted and apologized, but there was still a faint smile on his lips, which seemed to be ridicule.


    "Senior Sister Jin Se has lost, how is that possible?"


    The crowd below the arena was filled with incredulous voices. They never expected that Senior Sister Jin Se would actually lose to a nameless nobody in the lower classes, and furthermore, she even fainted!


    Just what kind of background does this Su Xiruo have? Even if she was able to jump two levels, it wouldn''t pose much of a threat to her!


    Actually, Su Xiruo did not want to use the Sakura Thrust this quickly. He wanted to leave some of his trump cards to deal with Long Mochen, but who would have known, that this Jin Se was also a troublesome master!


    The strength of her Four-star was not weak at all, forcing her to use the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill. Otherwise, if she continued to wait, it would be impossible for her to be Jin Se''s opponent.


    Like this, although she had won, she had revealed her trump card in front of Long Mochen.


    "Jin Se." Shen Shangjing immediately carried Jin Se and used his hand to check her pulse. It was stable, and he immediately felt more at ease.


    Fortunately, Su Xiruo did not kill him. Jin Se must have only been hit by too much of a Spiritual Strength in such a short time, that he fainted!


    Shen Shangjing lifted his head and glanced at Su Xiruo. His eyes were completely filled with disbelief.


    This girl, how many trump cards remained unrevealed?


    "Junior sister Xiruo, congratulations on entering the finals!" Shen Shangjing congratulated Su Xiruo.


    However, she was only entering the finals. Everything was probably already over.


    No matter how strong Su Xiruo was, he was probably not stronger than Long Mochen, who was a Poison Master. Unless this girl was immune to poisons, then there might be a glimmer of hope!


    "Thank you, Senior Brother." Su Xiruo casually said ''thank you''.


    At this time, Long Mochen''s gaze landed on her body. "Su Xiruo, we really will meet in the finals."


    Previously, at Yunshu, Su Xiruo had told him that she wanted to meet him in the finals, but Long Mochen had laughed, thinking that this girl was joking around with him.


    However, from the looks of it, that girl was actually serious. Indeed, she possessed the strength to challenge him.


    "However, you will still be defeated by me." Then, Long Mochen added another sentence as he was filled with confidence in himself.


    Just now, when he saw Jin Se and Su Xiruo''s fight, he could see that Su Xiruo had many weak points in her attack. When he meets her face to face, he will definitely catch her off guard!


    In his eyes, Su Xiruo''s clever little trick was completely useless.


    "Then I''ll wait and see." Su Xiruo laughed, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, he did not have any intention of fearing his opponent.


    "Second round, Long Mochen against Lu Qingmo!"


    This second round, was also the final round of the second round. Everyone had more or less tacitly agreed that it was Long Mochen who had won!

 C158

    The two of them went up the stage as Lu Qingmo gave Long Mochen a friendly smile. "Mo Chen, I''ll say this first, I''m not your opponent, you better not kill me!"


    Long Mochen''s expression did not change, "Respecting every opponent is my principle."


    His meaning was very simple. Only by bringing out all of his strength could he be considered to be respecting his opponent.


    These words could not help but cause Lu Qingmo to panic. He helplessly sighed and went back to his serious self, "Come!"


    Although he knew that he would definitely die if he fought Long Mochen, Lu Qingmo still wanted to fight with everything he had. Even if he had to die, he had to die a little!


    The purplish black Spiritual Strength around Long Mochen''s body expanded, the berserk and unreasonable palm wind didn''t even wait for Lu Qingmo to react before attacking.


    Lu Qingmo immediately turned his hand back to block the attack, but he did not have any chance to retaliate, in the next second, he was sent flying several meters, spitting blood as he landed on the stage. This battle, was easily ended by Long Mochen in one move!


    The people below the stage all held their breath, they were all shocked by Long Mochen''s attack just now!


    did this probably to conserve his strength and to not reveal his true strength!


    Actually, Long Mochen could have fought with Lu Qingmo for a while longer, it might have been easier this way. However, he was unwilling to expose himself too much in front of Su Xiruo.


    He wanted to leave his trump card in the finals. This way, he would be able to catch his enemy off guard!


    "He''s too ruthless, his Three-star is so strong, and he killed him in one move." Mu Lingxi shook his head, he only felt a chilly sensation of fear behind him. "Xiruo, don''t go head to head with him in a while, this guy is too terrifying!"


    Su Xiruo sat below the stage and seemed to be able to see through this fellow''s intentions. "He''s trying to conserve his strength, heh, he''s thinking quite highly of me."


    It could be considered as her ''honor'' to be able to save her strength!


    "He definitely has countless trump cards in his hands. Xiruo, you better be careful later!" Bai Yanxi reminded her with concern.


    The Great Clan Elder and Dean Lei watched all of this from above the stage and could not help but slightly nod their heads. It was probably because they felt that this year''s competition was different from the previous years.


    This was the first time a student from a low level class could make it into the finals. This seemingly weak and fragile little girl was truly interesting, she could actually beat Jin Se and fight her way into the finals!


    "Dean Lei, what do you think of her talent?" Great Elder Shen Ye could not help but discuss with Lei Yuntian.


    Lei Yuntian slightly nodded his head: "She''s a girl with extremely good talent, it''s just that she''s still too young. In the future, her achievements might even surpass all of the students here!"


    It was a pity that he was still a little too young to face the experienced Long Mochen. His chances of winning were still too low!


    "Final match, Su Xiruo challenges Long Mochen!"


    When the Second Elder used the word ''challenge'', he had a feeling that the gap between the two of them was quite large.


    This Long Mochen was the only student that the Second Elder had personally groomed, so in his heart, he naturally hoped that Long Mochen would be able to suppress everyone. If he lost to a little girl, then his prestige would probably be ruined!


    Su Xiruo and Long Mochen flew up to the stage and stood facing each other. Just by looking at their figures, one could tell that the difference was huge.


    Moreover, Su Xiruo had come from the low grade class. For a low grade student to be able to enter the finals, this was something that was unprecedented in history.


    As a result, all the lower level students started to become nervous. They probably thought that Su Xiruo represented their entire lower level class''s face!


    "Su Xiruo, I really admire you for you to be able to enter the finals." In his heart, he already tacitly agreed that this girl would not be his opponent. "This year''s results, are already pretty good. Next year, I''ll be waiting for you to continue to be my strong opponent!"


    Su Xiruo laughed and interrupted his words: "No, Senior Brother Long, this year, my only goal is to be first!"


    "He''s really arrogant and conceited!" Long Mochen snorted, the berserk palm wind had gathered power for a long time, and burst out, "Then let me see, what kind of ability do you have!"


    "This... This palm wind is the Spiritual Skill that was just used to deal with Lu Qingmo! " Everyone below the stage looked on in shock.


    It seemed that Long Mochen wanted to use the same move to end Su Xiruo! It had to be said that this fellow was way too confident. He wouldn''t give the other party any chance at all!


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. Just from the force of that palm strike, it was already enough to cause her to be unable to catch her breath. The golden Spiritual Strength quickly condensed in her palm and lightly collided with it, yet she was still sent flying without any suspense.


    Instantly, the sky spun and the earth turned. Su Xiruo felt a sweet taste in his throat as he spat out blood.


    She immediately stood up, but suddenly felt that palm just now seemed to carry a Toxicology, causing her own body to instantly become strange, as if the Spiritual Strength had been restricted!


    "Su Xiruo." Seeing that she was actually still able to crawl back up, Long Mochen was also rather surprised, "You''ve already been hit by my Seven Injury Palm, and your Spiritual Strength will be slowly being suppressed by this, becoming weaker and weaker! Hurry up and give up. Surrender now and I will give you the antidote right away! "


    Seven Injury Palm?


    Hearing this name, even Shen Shangjing could not help but stare.


    "He actually used the Seven Healing Palms the moment he started, this Long Mochen, he has really used the real deal!"


    It had to be known that last year, he had almost lost to Long Mochen''s palm with seven injuries, because after this Spiritual Skill was joined by Long Mochen, it could slowly suppress the opponent''s Spiritual Strength.


    That was why, even if the opponent was stronger than Long Mochen, after getting hit by the Seven Injury Palm, he had to end the battle quickly, or else, he would definitely be defeated in the end!


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised slightly. The Can Meng took action, bringing a burning hot Spiritual Strength to attack Long Mochen from the front.


    Long Mochen frowned slightly. He moved back half an inch and grabbed onto the blade of the Can Meng, attempting to use Toxicology. The Can Meng sliced open Long Mochen''s palm.


    "Heh, Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Artifact, is a pretty good Spiritual Artifact!" Long Mochen laughed. Just as he was about to use the Toxicology to control the Can Meng to counterattack Su Xiruo, he felt that he was unable to control it. Instead, it was his own Spiritual Strength that leaked a little and was sucked into the dagger!


    Sensing that something was wrong, Long Mochen quickly let go of his hands and looked at Su Xiruo in fear: "What kind of Spiritual Artifact are you talking about?"


    Not only was his own Toxicology useless against her Spiritual Artifact, it could even be absorbed by it!


    Su Xiruo did not answer his question. Instead, she said: "Senior Brother Long, please finish me quickly!"


    These mocking words enraged Long Mochen, he frowned slightly, and used both hands to hold onto the purplish black Spiritual Strength, the berserk Venomous Vine s leaked out one by one, causing Su Xiruo to be unable to dodge in time, one of his arms was tied up by the Venomous Vine, causing Long Mochen to increase her strength, causing her arm to bleed, following that, the poisonous flowers around her grew crazily, surrounding Su Xiruo.

 C159

    "Not good, all these plants were refined by Long Mochen''s Poison Puppet, they were all highly toxic!" Bai Yanxi curled his fingers tightly, seeing everything, he anxiously said in his heart, "If this goes on, even if Xi''er is his opponent, I''m afraid she''ll be poisoned to death!"


    Seeing that Su Xiruo was helpless, Long Mochen revealed a pleased smile: "Su Xiruo, is the feeling of the Venom good?


    "It feels good, of course it feels good." Su Xiruo snorted coldly, just as Long Mochen was about to approach, he realized that the strength of the girl was actually growing crazily!


    This... What was going on?


    Therefore, Long Mochen raised the bottle of poison and poured it down. The plant grew crazily, and the entire sky was completely surrounded by poison, as if the moment one got close, it was as if they had entered hell, a hell that they would never be able to recover from!


    He wanted to use his Thousand Poison Array to forcefully suppress Su Xiruo!


    "This is bad!" At this time, the Second Elder could also sense that the poison was spreading crazily. He quickly condensed his Spiritual Strength and set up a Barrier, separating the stage and the stage!


    If they were not separated, it was likely that the students below the stage would suffer the assault of this lethal poison. Those who were not strong enough would likely die on the spot!


    At this time, the sky suddenly changed, thunder roared, the entire sky was covered with Poison Miasma s, the plants and vines were like sharp blades, the petals pierced through Su Xiruo''s body, and fresh blood flowed out.


    "Long Mochen, are you trying to kill me?" Xiao Muran stood up and warned loudly.


    Long Mochen looked at Su Xiruo who was inside the formation, and sneered: "Su Xiruo, I already said, you''re not my opponent, so it''s best to surrender early.


    Su Xi''s fingers curled up like a bone and pulled the blade from her shoulder. In an instant, blood started to gush out, and she said shakily, "Stop dreaming, unless ¡­" You defeated me with your own hands! "Ahh!


    In the next second, countless sharp blades pierced her chest, Long Mochen smiled, and thought, what a girl!


    Just as he was about to approach the array and collect the corpses, he suddenly felt a Spiritual Strength that was getting stronger and stronger increasing its power!


    Long Mochen opened his eyes wide, realizing that something was not right. Following that, a ball of fire spread out, and the burning halo of light instantly burnt all the plants!


    Immediately after, a graceful and beautiful figure descended from the sky, the powerful palm wind striking at Long Mochen''s face.


    Long Mochen never thought that the girl would actually be able to break through his Ten Thousand Poison Array. He immediately raised his hand to block her.


    Not only that, the Spiritual Strength around his body was actually much stronger than it was before. With another glance, his own Ten Thousand Poisons Array had already withered and fallen, turning into a pile of weeds, completely missing the Spiritual Strength!


    "This... "How is this possible, you, you''ve advanced!" Long Mochen took a step back in fear, as if he understood something.


    His Ten Thousand Poison Array was a highly toxic poison that caused fear in the hearts of the people, causing the others to be unable to avoid it. However, not only was this girl not afraid of the poison, she even absorbed it all into her body.


    "That''s all thanks to Senior Brother Long''s Ten Thousand Poison Array." Su Xiruo laughed and stretched his muscles. He felt that the strength in his four limbs was much stronger than before.


    "You ¡­ Just what kind of Spiritual Skill did you use? Why is my Ten Thousand Poison Array useless against you? " Long Mochen was completely dumbstruck. It had to be known that this Ten Thousand Poison Array was the result of a year of hard work, and it was for this day to come and shock everyone!


    But he never thought that not only would he not amaze the masses, he would be taken advantage of by Su Xiruo and levelled up!


    Could it be that this girl was also a Poison Master?


    "This poison is useless against me. The Seven Injury Palms are useless against me as well. Senior brother Long, it''s best if you don''t waste your energy." Su Xiruo laughed helplessly, as though he had already planned this out.


    Her luck was indeed good, most of Long Mochen''s trump cards were probably Toxicology s, and it just so happened that her physique was special. She was able to be immune to all poisons, and even use it for herself!


    Therefore, the identity of the Poison Master that Long Mochen was so proud of, could be considered crippled in front of her!


    Not only Long Mochen, everyone below the stage could not believe their eyes.


    The Ten Thousand Poison Array''s attack just now was extremely fierce, if it was another person, they would not even be able to survive, but Su Xiruo had not only escaped unscathed, he had also absorbed the Toxicology of the array and levelled up!


    "I never thought that this girl was also a Poison Master, she hid her skills so well!" On the stage, Lei Yuntian could not help but sigh, his heart full of pleasant surprise.


    "Alright, Su Xiruo!" At this moment, his one year of hard work had just been destroyed, and the gaze Long Mochen used to look at Su Xiruo was filled with hatred. "I''ll make you pay!"


    Since all the poisons were useless on her, he might as well use his absolute strength to instantly kill this girl!


    The purple black Spiritual Strength rose crazily, and the white jade stone under Long Mochen''s feet shattered. Even from a long distance, Su Xiruo could feel that the Spiritual Strength around Long Mochen''s body was increasing in intensity!


    "This is a renegade spirit art!" Below the stage, Shen Shangjing recognized him at a glance.


    This was one of the more familiar Spiritual Skill s among the high leveled Poison Master, Reverse Spirit Arts! It could instantly raise his Spiritual Strength by five levels or more, but the side effects were also extremely huge. If his body could not handle such a burden, he would probably die from the backlash!


    As a result, Poison Master of low level simply did not dare to use a competition technique. Even Long Mochen who was at the level of five star Spirit Monarch, if he used this technique, he would probably be severely injured, or even endanger his life!


    "This guy, he''s crazy!"


    Long Mochen''s strength continued to increase explosively, and finally, he broke through the boundaries of the Spirit Sovereign.


    Su Xiruo stood at the same place, panting from the pressure of the Spiritual Strength, she had no doubt that if the Spiritual Skill were to land on her body, even if she did not die, she would be half dead!


    Ring, ring!


    In the panic, Su Xiruo retreated a few steps and took out the Red Jade Marrow Ring, he suddenly thought of something.


    She thought about what Yun Qian had told her before. This ring could block a fatal blow for her at a critical moment!


    Those who were timid even closed their eyes. In the next second, Su Xiruo raised the ring on his finger, and a golden light shot out from the ring.


    The seemingly weak and calm Spiritual Strength was able to block Long Mochen''s fatal strike.


    Su Xiruo was only pushed back a few meters, and spat out a mouthful of blood. This white jade stage, had already been destroyed into ashes, and not a single piece was left!


    However, Long Mochen was struck back by the Toxicology, he flew out, spat out blood and fell to the ground, feeling that he was unable to move his limbs, with just a slight movement, he would be destroyed in body and spirit!

 C160

    Su Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief as he stood up and slowly walked towards Long Mochen. Long Mochen''s fingers were curled tightly, wanting to climb up from the ground. How are you alright? "


    He could not believe his own eyes. In that strike just now, he had used a renegade spirit technique to raise his strength to Spirit Sovereign. Even if it was a Spirit Sovereign, he would not have been able to withstand it.


    But from the looks of it, this girl only suffered some minor injuries. It was simply unreasonable!


    "Senior-apprentice Brother Long, you''ve lost." Su Xiruo''s casual words instantly defeated Long Mochen.


    "I''ve lost, how is that possible?" Long Mochen shook his head, unwilling to accept this reality.


    He was preparing for a whole year. He originally thought that he wouldn''t be able to find a worthy opponent in the entire academy, but today, he actually lost to a low-level student!


    He wasn''t willing to accept this, and he also didn''t believe that he was inferior to a girl from a low-level class!


    And at this time, Chu Yu announced the results of the competition, allowing him to completely sober up: "The champion of the competition, Su Xiruo!"


    Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar. Most of them were low level students, and they all felt that Su Xiruo had given them a lot of face by giving them a low level class.


    Su Xiruo squatted down, fed a Healing Drug to Long Mochen, and said indifferently: "Senior Brother, why do you need to use such a dangerous Spiritual Skill, even if you want to gamble your life, you have to win against me?"


    "Next time, I will definitely beat you!" Long Mochen clenched his fist, still unwilling to give up.


    Su Xiruo laughed, thinking, there probably won''t be a next time.


    At this time, Great Clan Elder Shen Ye and Lei Yuntian also descended from the stage. Su Xiruo immediately bowed and greeted, "Student greets Dean Lei, Greetings Great Clan Elder!"


    "There''s no need to be so courteous. Xiruo, you performed very well this time." Lei Yuntian revealed a satisfied smile, "The owner of this Flying Feather Spirit is you!"


    Shen Ye added, "Someone, present the Flying Feather Spirit!"


    After hearing these words, Su Xiruo couldn''t help but become excited. After entering the Mercenary Academy for a year, she finally got this Flying Feather for her father.


    By the side of the Yunshu, Ye Zhuozhuo held onto the medicine, and slowly approached the place where the rear mountains were located, Su Biyue closely followed behind him with a sinister look on his face.


    Ye Zhuozhuo opened the bottle, and the Poison Miasma immediately spread out. As expected, not long after, a trembling sound could be heard from the surroundings. It should be the Water Qilin, as it slowly opened its eyes!


    "Quick, release the Water Qilin!" Su Biyue ordered coldly, as though he couldn''t wait to see the appearance of the Water Qilin.


    At this time, Ye Zhuozhuo had completely lost consciousness. He raised his hand and sprayed the venom into the air.


    Su Biyue lifted his hand and released a purplish black Spiritual Strength, completely dispersing the venom. In the next second, the entire sky was covered with a dense Poison Miasma, even Poison Master like Su Biyue couldn''t help but to retreat, afraid of being harmed by the Poison Miasma!


    Ye Zhuozhuo lost consciousness and fell to the ground, the undulations around him became more and more intense, closer and closer, as though in the next moment, the Water Qilin was about to erupt.


    On the other side, Su Xiruo received the Flying Feather Spirit from Lei Yuntian, thanked him, then carefully put it away and kept it in his Storage Ring.


    Then, just as she was about to go down to the platform, she felt a shock that nearly knocked her off her feet.


    A strong and berserk water attribute Spiritual Strength was pressing down on her. She only felt that she could kill it in one hit with that kind of power!


    "Not good, there''s some movement." Lei Yuntian slightly frowned, as if he had sensed something.


    "It''s coming from the Yunshu!" Shen Ye suddenly realized something, "Could it be the Water Qilin?"


    However, the Water Qilin had already been suppressed at the back of the mountain for dozens of years, and had been extremely stable for the past few years.


    "This is bad!" Lei Yuntian''s face changed, "The Water Qilin is about to rush out! Before it breaks through the Seal, I need to quickly suppress it or else there will be endless trouble in the future! "


    With that, Lei Yuntian''s figure instantly disappeared and the two elders followed along, appearing above the Yunshu.


    The training grounds and Yunshu were almost only a step away, and when the students heard the three words "Water Qilin", they immediately panicked!


    That was a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human Spirit Sovereign. If a Spirit Sovereign suddenly broke out in a riot, all of them would probably die a violent death!


    Lei Yuntian and the two elders rose into the air, and the powerful Spiritual Strength respectively surged out, forming three different colored halos of light, just as they were about to suppress the riot forcefully, in the next second, a gigantic figure came out from the ground, broke through the horizon, and instantly bounced back the three people''s Spiritual Strength.


    Then, a big fellow appeared out of thin air, the remaining energy undulations caused countless of injuries, the Water Qilin''s eyes were bloodshot, its mouth was wide open, its entire body was covered with blue scales, wherever it landed, the ground would shatter!


    Before anyone could react, the Water Qilin swept its tail lightly. Countless people died!


    "The Water Qilin really came out!" Su Xiruo''s eyes were wide open as he looked at the berserk big guy in front of him, as though it had suffered some sort of provocation. Right now, its Spiritual Strength was probably already equivalent to that of a nine star Spirit Sovereign!


    And right now, Dean Lei was only a six star Spirit Sovereign, and the two elders were also respectively a Three-star and a Four-star Spirit Sovereign. So, even if the three of them worked together, they still could not suppress the Water Qilin just now!


    "Everyone, quickly find a place to hide!" Lei Yuntian seemed to be worried too, as she hurriedly ordered, "This Seventh Rank Spiritual Beast is very fierce, no one is to come near!"


    With a sweep of the Water Qilin''s tail, Second Elder Chu Yu''s Spiritual Skill was pushed out. Chu Yu was sent flying and vomited blood from his injuries.


    Grand Elder Shen Ye then began to evacuate the students, telling them to avoid getting hurt.


    The Water Qilin glanced at the panicked humans who were fleeing in every direction and roared. The powerful Spiritual Strength trembled as if it wanted to kill them all.


    Following that, Lei Yuntian rose into the air, the fire attribute Spiritual Strength congealing into a fire shield, instantly blocking the Water Qilin''s attack, thus avoiding even more casualties.


    "Your opponent is me!" Lei Yuntian curled his fingers tightly and stood in front of the Water Qilin, staring at it angrily.


    The Water Qilin ignored him and actually spoke: "Heh, human, do you really think that the three of you can stop me?"


    "Then let''s give it a try!" Lei Yuntian curled his fingers tightly, thinking, even if he couldn''t block it, he had to brace himself, if not, his entire Mercenary Academy would probably be trampled flat by him!


    "After being stuck in the Seal for so many years, I can finally take a breather and stretch my limbs." The Water Qilin''s tone was fierce, the so-called taking a breather and stretching his limbs, was the meaning of starting a massacre!

 C161

    Following that, Lei Yuntian raised his hand into a blur, transforming into a black sword, he slashed towards the Water Qilin, while the second elder took the opportunity to attack from behind.


    The Water Qilin angrily glared, and with a violent swing of its tail, it tightly wrapped itself around the Second Elder, and then with a heavy punch, forced Lei Yuntian''s berserk attack back.


    In an instant, the sky darkened. The entire stadium was filled with wails and howls, and rivers of blood flowed as if it were hell!


    The Second Elder was tightly entangled by the Qilin tail, and no matter how much Spiritual Strength he had, he was unable to unleash it.


    At the same time, Lei Yuntian was also injured, holding his sword, he confronted the Water Qilin, while the Water Qilin swallowed the rain and water, flooding the entire training grounds with it!


    A few students from Senior Class wanted to help one another, but before they had the chance to do so, they were sent flying by the of the Water Qilin, unable to even get close to it.


    "What do we do, the Dean Lei and the rest seem to not be a match for the Water Qilin!" Xiao Muran saw all of this and was anxious. He did not know how he could help.


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly, his fingers curled tightly as he looked at the students who were fleeing in all directions. "Let''s settle all the students first, otherwise, there will be even more casualties!"


    Right now, this was all they could do.


    In the entire training grounds, Lei Yuntian, the two elders, and the Water Qilin were in a bitter battle with each other, but they could only delay the speed of the Water Qilin''s destruction.


    As for the students of Divine Ranked Class, they would evacuate the lower class together with the teacher, leaving this dangerous place first.


    "That''s not right." At this time, Mu Lingxi suddenly realized that something was amiss, "Shining, Shining, why is there no trace of her?"


    He anxiously searched for Ye Zhuozhuo''s figure. Finally, behind the Water Qilin, he saw a girl who had already fallen to the ground.


    But just as Mu Lingxi approached, he was struck by the Water Qilin''s angry roar and was forced back a few metres!


    "Ling Xi, there''s danger!" Seeing that, Su Xiruo hurriedly moved closer to Mu Lingxi.


    At the moment, the three Spirit Sovereign s were fighting with the Water Qilin, if they got any closer, if they were not careful, they would probably be injured by the remaining strength of the Water Qilin!


    However, Mu Lingxi did not care at all. At this moment, even if it was with his life on the line, he couldn''t let Ye Zhuozhuo be in any danger.


    Su Xiruo took a glance in front of him, and then curled his fingers tightly. He might as well throw caution to the wind: "I''ll cover you!"


    Therefore, Su Xiruo''s figure flashed forward lightly, arriving in front of the Water Qilin, he raised his hands and two Venomous Vine s flew out from his sleeves, in order to attract the Water Qilin''s attention.


    The Water Qilin seemed to have noticed her, it clapped its hands and Su Xiruo anxiously retreated, leaving a gap for Mu Lingxi to escape, so Mu Lingxi flew over and picked him up, and quickly left the dangerous place.


    The Water Qilin, on the other hand, sent Su Xiruo flying with a slap, spitting blood and falling to the ground, completely unable to retaliate at all. At this time, the Chinese Kite flew out from her sleeves, barely blocking the Water Qilin''s casual attack: "Master, quickly run!"


    "Mu Jin, be careful!" Before Su Xiruo could react, he was struck by the remaining strength of the Water Qilin. In an instant, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.


    "Master!" Seeing that, just as Mu Jin was about to get close to Su Xiruo, the Water Qilin unleashed another palm, hitting the Chinese Kite down. Then, Lei Yuntian raised his hand and shot a fireball at the Water Qilin''s face, preventing it from continuing to attack.


    "Your opponent is here!" Lei Yuntian bellowed, and in the next second, he was pushed back by the Water Qilin.


    At this time, he, Shen Ye and Chu Yu had sustained varying degrees of injuries, but this Water Qilin was completely unharmed!


    If this continued, they were afraid that they would lose to the Water Qilin sooner or later.


    The training grounds had fallen into an extreme state of chaos. All of them were insignificant ants in the eyes of this berserk Seventh Rank spirit beast!


    After an unknown period of time, Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes and crawled up with all his might. Lei Yuntian and the two elders were once again sent flying by the Water Qilin.


    Mu Lingxi''s worried voice sounded in his ears: "Scorching, wake up, what''s wrong?"


    Su Xiruo turned around, only to see Ye Zhuozhuo''s body covered in blood, unconscious in Mu Lingxi''s embrace, on the verge of death.


    She immediately extended her hand and checked Ye Zhuozhuo''s pulse. Right now, her pulse was extremely weak, she could lose her life at any moment!


    "Ling Xi, it''s dangerous to burn her. I have to protect her now!" Su Xiruo immediately made a decision and carried Ye Zhuozhuo over, allowing the purple-black Spiritual Strength to enter his body.


    After a while, Ye Zhuozhuo spat out black blood, his face pale white, revealing a sinister look, but he was still unconscious, spitting out blood non-stop!


    Mu Lingxi saw it and thought anxiously in his heart, "Xiruo, how is her burning, will she be alright?"


    If something really happened to Sparks, it would be hard for him to imagine whether he would still have the courage to continue living.


    At this time, they were hiding in a relatively safe corner of the training grounds. Su Xiruo glanced at the tragic battle outside and said to Mu Lingxi: "I can only preserve my burning life for now, and cannot be interrupted. Ling Xi, help me protect them.


    "Alright." Mu Lingxi hurriedly nodded, "Xiruo, don''t worry and treat my wounds. Leave the rest to me!"


    Since that was the case, he had to protect these two even if it meant risking his life!


    At the back of the mountain of Mercenary Academy.


    A strange fluctuation was repeatedly transmitted into Yun Qian''s ears. He suddenly opened his eyes and a sweet stench was transmitted from his throat. In the next second, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "Mistress, you ¡­" "Why did you stop!?" Liu Sheng stood at the side, and said somewhat anxiously, "You''re in danger just like that!"


    There was only a little more and he would be able to advance his Spirit God, but Master had actually forcefully interrupted his own advancement at such a critical juncture. Not only would it disrupt the rhythm of his advancement, it might also be life-threatening!


    "The academy is in danger." Yun Qian slowly stood up. His delicate eyebrows were slightly knit, carrying a bit of solemness.


    "But, sigh ¡­" Are you tired of living? " Before Liu Sheng could finish his sentence, his master had already turned into an afterimage and disappeared from his sight.


    At this time, the training grounds had long since become unrecognizable, even the Yunshu had been razed to the ground by the Water Qilin, and were in ruins!


    Panting continuously, Lei Yuntian held onto his weapon, half squatting on the ground, his entire body covered with wounds, looking somewhat miserable, while Chu Yu and Shen Ye, both of them were severely injured, lying unconscious on the side.


    Out of the three Spirit Sovereign s, he was the only one left. He probably wouldn''t be able to withstand another attack from the Water Qilin.


    But no matter what, he had to protect this Mercenary Academy with his life!

 C162

    "What, you''re not going to make it? This King''s muscles and bones have yet to be fully stretched! " The Water Qilin laughed out loud. Looking at the empty training grounds, only the corpses were piled into a mountain. The remaining students had probably already escaped!


    Suddenly, he noticed that at the corner of the stadium, there was a weak Spiritual Strength undulation. Focusing and looking around, he noticed Su Xiruo and the other two, and laughed: "There''s actually three more people!"


    With that, the Water Qilin moved extremely fast. It spat out a huge ball of ice and threw it towards the three people in the corner. Seeing the situation, Lei Yuntian immediately stood up and struck the fire attribute Spiritual Skill directly onto the ball of water, sending it flying without any suspense.


    This Water Qilin actually originally only had around the strength of seven star Spirit Sovereign s, but who knows where it had gotten its hands on such a violent power, causing its strength to suddenly increase explosively. This kind of explosive power, was almost close to the strength of Spirit God!


    "Go to hell!" The Water Qilin was unwilling to waste words with them, so it threw out two ice balls. One of them smashed towards Su Xiruo and the other two, while the other one smashed towards Lei Yuntian.


    Just as they were planning to close their eyes and wait for death, the two balls of ice were caught by a light Spiritual Strength, and then, they smashed straight towards the Water Qilin s. The Water Qilin was caught off guard, and was attacked from both sides, causing many of the scales on its body to be knocked off, revealing its blood-red skin.


    "Where did this wild beast come from? How dare you behave atrociously in front of this sovereign?"


    That magnetic voice was extremely pleasant to the ears. It also had a hint of killing intent mixed in with it. The voice was not loud, but it was filled with vigor!


    In the next second, the white clothed man stood in front of him with the silver white sword in his hand. A gentle breeze occasionally lifted his fluttering sleeves, despite the blood in his hands, he looked like an independent goddess in the wind.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian is here!" Mu Lingxi turned pale with fright when he saw Yun Qian.


    Su Xiruo opened her eyes and looked at Yun Qian''s back, she did not say anything, and could only focus on helping Ye Zhuozhuo recuperate, she was not able to distract herself from doing anything.


    "You ¡­" Unknowingly, the man had appeared in front of him, causing the Water Qilin to panic, as though it could feel the powerful Spiritual Strength''s pressure and the Orc Clan''s bloodline that could completely suppress him!


    Was this man a spirit beast as well? Moreover, it must be a divine beast of a higher level than his bloodline!


    The Water Qilin roared, and violent water attribute Spiritual Strength surged out. The overwhelming pressure of the Spiritual Strength seemed to be able to destroy the entire academy!


    The sky, was frighteningly dark. Thunderclaps rang out unceasingly, it was as though the entire world was about to sink into darkness.


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly, revealing an extremely dangerous arc. He lightly leaped up, and the similarly berserk dense white Spiritual Strength flowed out of his palm, instantly suppressing the Water Qilin''s rebellion.


    For a moment, the Water Qilin struggled nonstop, but was unable to struggle free from his Spiritual Strength Suppression: "Let go of this king!"


    "It''s better to be honest and stay inside!" As Yun Qian''s cold words fell, a dark look flashed in his eyes as he increased the Spiritual Strength in his hands.


    "Ah ¡­"


    The Water Qilin could no longer move as it was once again pushed into the back mountain by the Seal. Its huge body instantly disappeared from everyone''s line of sight.


    In an instant, the entire world seemed to have calmed down. Lei Yuntian let out a small sigh of relief, slowly got up, and bowed while saluting Helian Yunqian. "Thank you Master Helian for saving my life!"


    Fortunately, the young ancestor had come in time, or else he would not have dared to imagine what the consequences would have been.


    "I think it''s better for Dean Lei to investigate carefully. Just how was this Water Qilin let go of him." Yun Qian''s tone was full of reproach.


    If the Water Qilin had not come out to added to the chaos, he would already have advanced to the Spirit God and furthermore, the academy would not have suffered such heavy injuries!


    "Yes, this old man will definitely investigate this matter to the end!" Lei Yuntian''s finger bones were tightly curled. Naturally, he was not willing to let this matter go.


    Yun Qian was too lazy to bother with him anymore, he immediately turned around to look for Su Xiruo and the other two. With a tone full of deep concern, he asked: "Brilliant, what happened to Brilliant?"


    Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes and held Ye Zhuozhuo in his arms. His eyes were slightly red, "Yun Qian, your burning injuries were caused by the Water Qilin and your aura is currently weak. I''m afraid there''s nothing I can do."


    Hearing that, Mu Lingxi immediately knelt in front of Yun Qian: "Yun Qian, I have never begged you to do anything, but this time, I beg you to save my life, please save her!"


    Yun Qian reached out to help Mu Lingxi up, and said indifferently: "Don''t say it like that, Brilliant is my younger sister. Even if you didn''t say it, I would have still saved her."


    Finished, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to feel Ye Zhuozhuo''s Qi. His beautiful eyebrows knitted together, sensing that something was wrong.


    Therefore, he urged the two of them, "The situation is critical. I''ll bring Shining Sunlight to treat him now. You two can wait for my news at the academy!"


    "I''ll go with you!" Mu Lingxi was still worried, but he stopped her.


    "Ling Xi, I know that you are worried about your burning safety, but Yun Qian''s Wind Control Arts is rather quick. If you were to follow her, it might delay the time for treatment." Su Xiruo lowered his body in consolation, "Don''t worry, Yun Qian said that he has a way, so he will definitely have a way to treat Brilliant Brilliance. We''ll just wait in the academy for news."


    Hearing this, Mu Lingxi helplessly sighed, and could only agree: "Alright, Yun Qian, no matter what, you must save Scorching!"


    Yun Qian did not waste any more words, carried Ye Zhuozhuo''s body, and instantly turned into an afterimage, disappearing in front of the two of them.


    "Brilliant. Brilliant." Mu Lingxi shook his head, as though he was still unable to accept the truth, "If something were to happen, what should I do?"


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, and said: "Ling Xi, now that you''re worried about it, it''s useless. You should wait for the news, I think Yun Qian has a better method than us."


    At this moment, other than quietly waiting for news on the spot, he didn''t know what else to do.


    Thus, the two of them followed Lei Yuntian and settled the Academy down. After the training grounds regained their calm, the other students appeared and took care of the scene as well as the corpses.


    After confirming that no one was injured or injured in the Heavenly Ranked Class Three, Su Xiruo searched around. He could not find any trace of Mu Jin, and even the corpse was missing.


    She vaguely remembered that when she had been fighting against the Water Qilin, Mu Jin had come out. After she had woken up, Mu Jin had not appeared.


    But now, there was not even a corpse. Could something have really happened?


    Therefore, Su Xiruo started to ask the other students, asking them about it, but to no avail.


    Mu Jin, you better not get into trouble.

 C163

    Su Xiruo sat alone in the ruins of the training grounds, lost in thought for a long time.


    At this time, Xiao Muran walked up and said, "Xiruo, when we were dealing with the scene earlier, we discovered an injured Su Biyue.


    Su Xiruo raised his head. He saw that Su Biyue was tied up by all means, and was escorted in front of him.


    "Damn." Su Biyue secretly scolded. He originally thought that since he was a bit further away from the Water Qilin, he wouldn''t be injured by its remaining strength, but who would have thought that the Water Qilin was actually so powerful?


    He could only blame his bad luck!


    "Why did you sneak into the academy? Tell me!" Su Xiruo glanced at her, feeling that Su Biyue was harbouring malicious intentions. "Is the matter with the Water Qilin related to you?"


    Su Biyue curled his fingers tightly: "I''m just here to watch the competition. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? I don''t have that kind of ability! "


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to continue questioning him, she saw Bai Yanxi hurrying over with a happy expression, "Xiruo, Master Helian has already returned to the Pear Garden."


    Because his heart was always burning with worry, Su Xiruo no longer had the mood to continue questioning her, and said: "Lock her up, let Dean Lei personally interrogate her!"


    "Yes sir!"


    So, Su Xiruo stood up, but just as he was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks and instructed the students behind him, "Oh yes, I''ll have to trouble you all to continue being on guard. If you see the shadow of the Chinese Kite, immediately tell me."


    In her heart, she was still a little worried about Mu Jin.


    "Alright, don''t worry. Leave it to us!" The student immediately agreed.


    On the other side, Yun Qian had just returned to the Pear Garden alone, when Mu Lingxi immediately came forward and asked. "Yun Qian, where''s Scorching Sun, why didn''t she come back with you? ''Is she ¡­ ''


    Yun Qian raised his head to signal the people behind him, and they all took their leave with a meaningful glance.


    Only when there was only Mu Lingxi left did he open his mouth and say: "Don''t worry, I have already sent Radiant to Medical Sovereign. It''s just that Medical Sovereign also said that Radiant''s injuries are too severe, and that it will still take some time for them to recover, so I didn''t bring Bright back."


    "Then I ¡­"


    Yun Qian knew what he was about to say, so he interrupted him, "Right now, I need some rest. You should go find her after she''s healed."


    "Alright, I naturally trust in the Medical Sovereign''s medical skills. As long as they shine, I''ll be fine, anything will do." Mu Lingxi immediately agreed, still a little shaken from the shock.


    "What about Xiruo?" Since Yun Qian didn''t see Xi Ruo at the Pear Garden, he was still a little worried.


    Mu Lingxi then answered honestly, "Xi Ruo is still in the training grounds. She said that the Chinese Kite has gone missing, and we will continue to help her search for it in a while."


    "No need. You are injured, so you should rest. I will go to the stadium to take a look." Yun Qian patted him on the shoulder and calmly warned him.


    Finished speaking, Yun Qian turned around and left the Pear Garden. Just as he took a step out of the Pear Garden, the blood that he had suppressed for a long time immediately spurted out.


    The price of halting the advancement in advance was accepting the backlash from his Spiritual Strength. Seeing that Su Xiruo just happened to be back, he immediately raised his head and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, as if nothing had happened.


    "Yun Qian, what''s the situation like?" Su Xiruo stepped forward and the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was to pay attention to the burning situation.


    "She should be fine. I just took her into secluded meditation to recuperate. She shouldn''t be able to return in a short period of time." Yun Qian told her the truth without hiding anything. He then asked her, "How is the management of the academy doing?"


    "The Water Qilin''s destructive power is too strong. After suffering such a heavy injury on their Mercenary Academy, it will probably take a long time for them to regain their original appearance." Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, then spoke the truth, "The matter of the Water Qilin, is too strange."


    Yun Qian nodded his head slightly, "Leave everything to Lei Yuntian. I''m too lazy to bother with these trivial matters."


    At this moment, all he needed to do was ensure that everyone around him was safe.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo slowly raised his head, and just as he was about to grab onto his arm, he sensed that something was amiss: "Yun Qian, your injuries ¡­. Was it from the battle with the Water Qilin? "


    But thinking about it carefully, it didn''t seem right. Yun Qian did not even take much effort to deal with the Water Qilin, it was even more impossible for him to be injured by the Water Qilin.


    "No problem, it''s just that my advancement was interrupted, so I suffered some backlash." Yun Qian''s tone was light and casual, "The Water Qilin has already been suppressed. Now that it''s a matter of the academy, there''s no need for me to worry. I just need to find a quiet place and continue my closed doors cultivation."


    "The leveling up is interrupted." Su Xiruo frowned slightly, he understood that this was no trivial matter, what''s more, this was the Nine Star Spirit Sovereign s which had advanced to the Spirit God! If it were not for the Water Qilin, Yun Qian probably would not have broken through!


    As he thought up to this point, Su Xiruo let out a helpless sigh, "The academy is currently not at peace. In my opinion, why don''t we find another secluded place and make a breakthrough?"


    "Yes." Yun Qian had no different from her, "Near the Mercenary Academy, there is a place deep in the forest, filled with powerful Yin Qi ¡­"


    "I''ll go with you." Su Xiruo interrupted him and spoke decisively, but she was still a little worried.


    Yun Qian smiled noncommittally. "My wife is naturally willing to accompany me."


    Therefore, Su Xiruo and Yun Qian left the Academy together, and arrived at a place near the Academy''s forest. The surroundings were filled with lush vegetation, and the gloomy atmosphere made her involuntarily shiver.


    On this day, Lei Yuntian asked his men to bring Su Biyue over to the main hall of Mercenary Academy.


    Su Biyue was tied up by everything, and was forced to kneel on the ground.


    "It''s you!" Lei Yuntian snorted, "Su Biyue!"


    "Dean." Shen Shangjing reported from the side, "After these few days of investigation, we found out that on the day of the competition, when the Water Qilin s were in trouble, this Su Biyue was close to the Water Qilin s Barrier! Moreover, she was obviously expelled from the academy, and this time, she had specially snuck in. Coincidentally, something like this happened, which is really too much of a coincidence! "


    Su Biyue bit his lower lip, and immediately pleaded for mercy: "Principal, please be clear-headed, I only wanted to return to the Academy to take a look, I have no ill intentions, moreover, you all have no proof that I released the Water Qilin, how could I have that capability!"


    The more Lei Yuntian looked, the more suspicious he felt this woman Su Biyue was. However, after investigating for so many days, he still did not manage to find any clues, nor was there any clear evidence that Su Biyue was the culprit behind this matter.


    Therefore, Lei Yuntian said coldly: "It doesn''t matter if this matter is related to you or not, you have already been expelled. Once again trespassing into the academy, this old man has the qualifications to kill you!"


    Hearing the word "kill", Su Biyue was immediately stunned and begged for forgiveness, "Principal, I only came back to take a look, I really have no ill intentions. Please let me go, please forgive me!"


    She did not expect that she was only helping Poison Sovereign with one matter, and was actually willing to sacrifice her own life.


    "Considering that you are originally a student of Mercenary Academy, this old man will let you go and abolish this girl''s Spiritual Strength and imprison her. Until this matter is investigated thoroughly, this old man will never let you out!" Lei Yuntian frowned slightly, he still did not forget to punish Su Biyue.


    "Yes sir!" After Shen Shangjing heard the order, the Spiritual Strength condensed in his palm and he started to attack.

 C164

    "Dean, don''t, don''t, ah ¡ª"


    Miserable cries cut through the sky, and Su Biyue fell to the ground. All the Spiritual Strength s in his body were extracted out, only feeling powerless on all fours, and there were no longer any ripples of the Spiritual Strength in his body. He fainted on the spot.


    "Take him down and lock him up!" Shen Shangjing gave the order coldly, and the two mercenaries dragged Su Biyue away.


    At this time, Zhang Bingde was hiding in a corner outside the palace hall. Witnessing all of this, his fingers tightly curled up, probably because he hated himself for not being able to protect Bi Yue, and felt a little guilty in his heart.


    If he hadn''t brought in Bi Yue, this probably wouldn''t have happened either. But now, no matter what, it was useless. Bi Yue''s Spiritual Strength had already been abolished by the Dean Lei!


    "Bi Yue, don''t worry. No matter what, I''ll save you!" Zhang Bingde said softly, as if he had made up his mind.


    Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he had to think of a way to sneak into this Mercenary Academy prison to save Bi Yue!


    Seven days passed quickly but Yun Qian still did not show any signs of advancing. On the contrary, every time he was about to advance, he would be hit by a backlash from his own Spiritual Strength and fail to advance later on.


    "Miss Su, do you have any way to help Master improve?" Liu Sheng saw this, and anxiously asked as he pulled Su Xiruo to the side.


    If not for meddling in Mercenary Academy, Master would have long been in Spirit God by now.


    "If I had that kind of ability, would I have waited till now?" Su Xiruo rolled his eyes at him, also powerless.


    Aren''t you Poison Master? Liu Sheng seemed to have placed all his hopes on her, "Let me tell you, Master only stopped levelling to save you. If I fail to level up in a short period of time and fall into this cycle of life and death, Master''s life will be in danger! As a Poison Master, can''t you think of something? "


    "So what if I am a Poison Master? A Poison Master is not omnipotent. Moreover, I am just a high level Profound Rank Poison Master." Su Xiruo shook his head, feeling that he could not help in any way.


    Poison Master... That''s right! Although he was just a Profound Rank little Poison Master, it didn''t mean that his father was still a Poison Sovereign!


    Su Xiruo suddenly remembered that his father had once refined a Seventh Rank poison called Ling Dan Increasing, which was able to help the Spirit Sovereign progress.


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo started to speak: "I know what to do, Liu Sheng, you stand guard here, I want to leave for a while, I will bring the spirit medicine to save Yun Qian very soon!"


    He had originally planned to go to the Poison Sect anyway, so that he could give the Flying Feather Spirit to his father and steal the Ling Dan along the way!


    "Wait, how long will it be?" Liu Sheng asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"


    "You don''t need to worry about where I''m going. I''ll definitely be back within a day!" With that said, Su Xiruo rode the wind and disappeared from Liu Sheng''s line of sight.


    Liu Sheng looked in the direction that Su Xiruo had left and shook his head helplessly. He prayed in his heart that the Miss Su would return safely.


    At this time, Poison Sovereign had already been in Poison Sect, waiting for Su Xiruo to act as if he was sick. He was still lying on the bed, coughing continuously.


    "High Lord, the Young Master has returned. He is currently waiting outside the hall." At the right time, a guard came forward to report.


    "Let her in." Poison Sovereign smiled and agreed that Su Xiruo would come in.


    Su Xiruo slowly stepped into the Inner Palace, approached the bedside and asked in concern: "Father, how are your health today?"


    "Cough cough, yet... It''s just the same. " Poison Sovereign sighed helplessly and continued to ask, "Father heard that you obtained that Flying Feather, is that true?"


    Su Xiruo then took out the Flying Feather Spirit from the Storage Ring and presented it to the Poison Sovereign: "Father, the Flying Feather Spirit is here. Take a look, is it what you want?"


    Poison Sovereign took the Flying Feather Spirit, and carefully looked it over. His eyes revealed a hint of desire, and he said in satisfaction: "Okay, you really are my good daughter!"


    At this time, Su Xiruo lowered his head slightly: "As for that, Father, why don''t you give me a little more time. I''ll definitely think of a way to get it for you."


    After saying this, Su Xiruo was already prepared to be scolded. Who knew that this time, Poison Sovereign''s attitude would actually become even more gentle: "It''s alright, after all, we still need to get the same things, cough cough ¡­ It wouldn''t hurt for Father to wait a little longer. "


    Hearing his words, Su Xiruo was a little flattered and felt a little guilty in his heart, "Father, I''m sorry ¡­ Your daughter is useless. "


    "Xiruo, you don''t have to blame yourself. You''ve done quite well to be able to obtain the Flying Feather." Poison Sovereign comforted her on the other hand, "You''ve been worn out from all this work, why don''t you go back to your room to rest?"


    Seeing her father being so kind, the guilt in Su Xiruo''s heart grew even stronger. She secretly made up her mind, once she obtained more Ling Dan, and helped Yun Shuang advance, she would immediately head to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range to get the Beast Core for her father!


    But at this moment, the most important thing for her was to quickly obtain more Ling Dan.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo nodded slightly: "Then daughter won''t disturb father''s rest for now."


    "Go, go!"


    Su Xiruo stood up, and after bowing slightly, he left the Inner Palace. In the next second, the smile on Poison Sovereign''s face disappeared, and became gloomy and stern.


    That appearance was faintly terrifying.


    Su Xiruo left the Poison Sovereign Inner Palace and didn''t return to his room. Instead, he went straight to the Medicine Pavilion.


    When the guards saw her, they all bent down to greet her. "Young Master, what are you doing here?"


    Su Xiruo then blurted out: "According to father''s orders, I have come to retrieve a Pills."


    The two guards looked at each other, deep in thought. Su Xiruo then asked coldly, "Why, I, the dignified Poison Sect Young Master, have only returned from a year of training, and am still not allowed to enter and leave the Medicine Pavilion freely?"


    One had to know that she could enter and exit Medicine Pavilion at will.


    "I don''t dare, Young Lord, please come in!" The attitude of the two guards immediately softened and they allowed Su Xiruo to pass.


    Su Xiruo entered the Medicine Pavilion without batting an eye and slowly paced back and forth.


    This Poison Sect was extremely large, like an ordinary palace, vast and imposing, and completely complete with medicinal ingredients.


    Her gaze swept across those rare medicinal ingredients and hurried past them. Her line of sight was constantly searching for something.


    Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the entire row of corners. With a fierce gaze, she recognized something.


    Just as she was about to get close, as the fingerbone extended out, she was sent flying by the Barrier.


    "There''s actually a Barrier!" Su Xiruo''s finger bones curled tightly, as he used all his might to attack. Following that, the transparent Barrier was opened.


    Letting out a breath of relief, Su Xiruo went forward to take the white porcelain bottle, opened it and examined it carefully.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo revealed a happy expression. He wrapped the increased Ling Dan with the Spiritual Strength and hid it inside his Storage Ring in order to hide the aura of the Seventh Rank poison so that the guards would not be able to discover it.


    Afterwards, she casually took a few other medicinal ingredients that were not too rare and left the Medicine Pavilion. The guards did not find anything abnormal and waited obediently for her to leave.


    Just as Su Xiruo left, Poison Sovereign appeared in front of the Medicine Pavilion Palace, his ink-black eyes revealing traces of killing intent.


    "High Lord!" The guards outside the Medicine Pavilion all knelt down and saluted. Seeing that the High Lord was not showing any sign of joy, they knew that something big was about to happen!


    Everything that had happened just now had obviously been witnessed by the Poison Sovereign.


    The protector beside Poison Sovereign was somewhat unwilling and could not help but remind him: "High Lord, did you really let the young master take the additional Ling Dan to save Helian Yunqian?"


    That was a Seventh Rank Poison, and furthermore, it was a true Ling Dan. If Helian Yunqian really wanted to advance his Spirit God, wouldn''t High Lord be in no hurry?


    Poison Sovereign snorted, and revealed a sinister smile: "She only needs to take it to save him. Only someone who can actually save her can be considered as having the ability."

 C165

    "High Lord, what do you mean?" That Protector didn''t seem to understand what the Poison Sovereign meant.


    Poison Sovereign glanced at the direction Su Xiruo was leaving in: "Since this daughter of yours is too disappointing, and can''t even get a single Beast Core, then this old man can only do it himself!"


    "The High Lord is wise." The protector revealed a mysterious smile, as though he had been hoping that the High Lord would be able to do it herself.


    Xi Ruo, ah Xi Ruo, it''s not that father didn''t give you a chance, it''s that you didn''t want to treasure it, then don''t blame father for not showing mercy!


    After successfully obtaining the increase in Ling Dan, Su Xiruo activated the Wind Control Arts, and in a few hours he was back in the deep forest.


    At this time, Liu Sheng was anxiously waiting at his original spot. Listening to the sounds, he immediately took out his weapon and increased his vigilance.


    "Liu Sheng, it''s me." Su Xiruo slowly landed, and in the next second, Liu Sheng kept his blade.


    "Miss Su, you''re back so quickly!" Seeing that Su Xiruo was unharmed, Liu Sheng was at ease.


    Fortunately, this girl was fine. If anything really happened to her, her master would definitely swallow her alive.


    "How is Yun Qian right now?" Su Xiruo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.


    Liu Sheng shook his head: "Miss Su, at this point, I don''t know what to do. If this goes on, master''s life will be in danger!"


    Su Xiruo also did not say much as he walked forward and pushed open the door of the hut. Yun Qian was currently sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed and some traces of blood still hanging from the corner of his lips.


    "Yun Qian!" Su Xiruo went forward and called out to him, but Yun Qian did not open his eyes, he was already in a semi-conscious state.


    She took out a porcelain bottle from the Storage Ring, and poured the increased Ling Dan into the palm of her hand, carefully feeding it to Yun Qian to eat.


    "Miss Su, what did you feed Master?" Seeing that, Liu Sheng wanted to stop them, but the had already swallowed it.


    He could not sit by and watch his master be fed some unknown spiritual medicine. Only after he had examined it would he feel at ease.


    "This is increasing the Ling Dan, it can help Yun Qian break through the Spirit God, I have already experienced it, it won''t be fake, don''t worry!" Seeing that he was worried, Su Xiruo explained.


    She had checked again and again to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the Ling Dan before daring to give it to Yun Qian.


    "Increase the number of Ling Dan!" Liu Sheng opened his eyes wide, thinking that he had misheard, "Wasn''t the Ling Dan supposed to be a Seventh Rank poison, where did you get that?"


    Then, Liu Sheng seemed to have guessed something, "You aren''t asking that old fogey Poison Sovereign for it, are you?"


    "Shh!" Su Xiruo promptly made a "hush" gesture, and lowered his voice, saying, "If father knew that I added Ling Dan to the fire was to save Yun Qian, he definitely would not have given it to me."


    "So, you stole this poison?" Liu Sheng felt that this was even more unbelievable.


    This girl was simply too daring, she dared to steal from the hands of the Poison Sovereign, if that old man knew, wouldn''t he go into a rage!


    "Be quiet." Su Xiruo warned, "I have no other choice, other than to increase the number of Ling Dan, I really can''t think of a better way."


    "Miss Su, I really admire you!" Liu Sheng sighed as he admired the little girl''s courage.


    At this time, the Spiritual Strength around Yun Qian''s body began to slowly gather together, continuously rising, increasing, increasing at a maddening pace! When they were about to reach a critical point, both Su Xiruo and Liu Sheng could feel the powerful might of the Spiritual Strength!


    Looks like this increase in Ling Dan s is real, Yun Qian should be advancing his Spirit God!


    "Miss Su, step back!" Liu Sheng hurriedly reminded her.


    Su Xiruo subconsciously took a few steps back, in the next second, Yun Qian''s entire body was enveloped by the dense white Yin Attribute, that light cut through the sky, and pierced through the people around, causing them to be unable to open their eyes!


    It was an unfathomable and awe-inspiring power, as if it would devour everything in its path if it got any closer!


    An abnormality suddenly appeared in the air. Lei Yuntian, who was still far away from the Mercenary Academy, looked out the window and saw the abnormality in the air. His face changed drastically and he could not help but exclaim: "Another Spirit God is about to descend!"


    At the same time, the Orc Clan was alerted and a Spirit Fox in human form appeared as a middle-aged man. Looking at the strange scene in the air, he turned pale with fright, "This ¡­ This is ¡­ Spirit God? "


    At the edge of Phoenix Nest Empire, a white-haired old man glanced at the sky and could not help but laugh, "It looks like that kid has already successfully broken through his Spirit God!"


    On this night, both Humans and the Orc Clan found it difficult to sleep, and it was as if everything had gone into chaos. They were all roughly guessing, just who the hell was this new Spirit God coming from!


    The silver white light slowly disappeared. Yun Qian slowly opened his eyes and felt as if he had been reborn. His entire body became much lighter and lighter. The Spiritual Strength in his body was now ten times stronger than before!


    The difference between Spirit Sovereign and Spirit God, was actually so huge. The current him was completely capable of fighting against ten nine star Spirit Sovereign s by himself!


    "Master, congratulations master on breaking through the Spirit God!" Liu Sheng''s face was filled with joy, from the bottom of his heart, he was extremely happy.


    "Yun Qian, congratulations on finally breaking through the Spirit God." Su Xiruo also quickly rushed forward, he probably never thought that the increase in Ling Dan would be so useful, at least he did not waste time.


    Liu Sheng could not help but say happily: "This is all thanks to Miss Su''s Ling Dan s!"


    "What ¡­" Increase the number of Ling Dan s? " Yun Qian frowned slightly, upon hearing the words Ling Dan s, he immediately felt that something was amiss, in the next second, he spat out blood.


    Su Xiruo''s face changed as he asked hurriedly, "Yun Qian, what''s wrong?"


    Another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Yun Qian only felt as if his head had exploded, even his consciousness seemed to be instantly swallowed. He wanted to slowly get up, but his vision began to spin and become blurry.


    "Xiruo ¡­ Did you come from the Poison Sect to increase the number of Ling Dan? " He slightly opened his icy lips and asked with a pale expression.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, but in the next second, he immediately realized that something was amiss, "Something is not right, this additional Ling Dan was clearly not fake ¡­"


    "It''s not wrong to increase the number of Ling Dan." At this time, the leisurely voice of the Poison Sovereign resounded in his ears, "It''s just that, this sovereign has gotten used to it; I''ll just add a single Poison Gu to all the Pills!"


    With that, the hut dispersed in all directions, and a black figure appeared in front of the three people. Poison Sovereign appeared.


    "Father, you ¡­ You planted a parasite in this Ling Dan! " Su Xiruo''s beautiful face suddenly paled, she got up and asked, "Where is the antidote?"


    Poison Sovereign laughed and explained, "Didn''t I say it already? I didn''t intentionally poison them, but because of your habit of adding an extra Gu to every single one of my Pills, it was you who sneaked into this sovereign''s Medicine Pavilion and stolen to increase the number of Ling Dan without my permission! "


    Su Xiruo''s fingers tightened, as though he did not expect his father''s defense to be so strong, to actually be able to use Venom among all the Pills, just that his physique was special, so it was impervious to poisons, thus, even if he had consumed it before, he did not realise it!


    "Father." Thus, Su Xiruo''s tone softened a bit, "It''s my daughter who is guilty, you can punish her however you want. I beg you, give me the antidote!"


    Poison Sovereign snorted, "My good daughter, you can just take her out on your elbow, and continue lying to me. I am truly disappointed in you!"


    "Normally, this noble one hates people who betray my bloodline. By betraying my Poison Sect, if I don''t kill you, I will have done my best. Wanting to obtain the antidote is simply preposterous!" When the Poison Sovereign finished speaking, his fingers curled tightly, and a berserk palm wind struck directly at Su Xiruo''s face.


    He was going to personally clean up this daughter of his who was a predator!


    "Be careful!" Hearing that, Yun Qian wrapped his arm around Su Xiruo''s waist and quickly dodged the Poison Sovereign''s attack. In the next second, he took out his silverish white weapon and endured the pain as he slowly raised his head, wanting to clearly see the location of the Poison Sovereign. However, his vision was pitch-black, and he could not see anything!


    Damn it, I can''t see anything!


    "Jiang Lingye... Old thing, you sure are sinister! " Liu Sheng, who was at the side, coldly called out Poison Sovereign''s name, carrying a little anger in his voice.

 C166

    And Su Xiruo realised, the attack that his father just made was sonorous and powerful. If Yun Qian did not help him, was afraid that he would have instantly died.


    "Father, aren''t you in danger now?" Su Xiruo could not help but ask.


    Could it be that it was really as Yun Qian had said, that his father did not want the Beast Core for the sake of saving him, but to raise his own strength?


    Yun Qian opened his mouth and said faintly, "Silly girl ¡­" "He was just faking it."


    Was it an act? Was it really an act...


    Su Xiruo looked at Poison Sovereign in disbelief, as if he did not want to believe that his father had always been lying to him. "Father, is this true?"


    The Poison Sovereign laughed at the sky and did not answer her question. Instead, he shot a disdainful glance at Yun Qian, and said: "Helian Yunqian, this sovereign has helped you to breakthrough your Spirit God, shouldn''t you offer the Beast Core in your hands as an expression of your thanks?"


    "Heh, alright." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth slightly lifted, revealing a disdainful smile. "If you really have the ability, come and get it."


    "How arrogant!" With a cold snort, the Poison Sovereign''s berserk Sword Qi rushed over.


    "Xiruo, back away." Yun Qian raised his hand and a gentle force pushed Su Xiruo away, using his sword to support himself on the ground. He slowly stood up, the dense white Spiritual Strength around his body suddenly expanded, and welcomed the attack from Poison Sovereign.


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    With the clash of weapons, the powerful and terrifying Spiritual Strength shook, causing Su Xiruo and Liu Sheng to be unable to even approach the battle circle.


    "Yun Qian!" Su Xiruo watched the situation of the battle worriedly, but he could not intervene, "Father, stop!"


    His father already had the strength of Three-star, and Yun Qian had only just broken through the Spirit God, so how could the Poison Gu that was still with him be his father''s opponent?


    Inside the battle circle, the two Spirit God s were fighting intensely, and the surrounding trees were also collapsing, being destroyed!


    Jiang Lingye curled his fingers tightly, and held onto his weapon, standing on a huge boulder at the side. He probably didn''t expect that the kid would be infected by his parasite and be so troublesome, although it couldn''t pose any threat to him, but he himself had no way to resolve the matter quickly.


    Yun Qian''s feet lightly landed on the ground. It was as if his head had exploded. A buzzing sound could be heard, and the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning. The fingerbone holding the sword was trembling slightly, cold sweat unceasingly pouring out.


    "Boy, you are not this sovereign''s match. You should take the opportunity to admit defeat!" Jiang Lingye warned coldly.


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as his tone was filled with ridicule, "Old man, I think that you only have this much ability. The next time you want to capture me, it would be better if you brought a few more helpers."


    "He''s really overestimating himself!" As if provoked by his words, Jiang Lingye''s swift and fierce palm storm surged, flying away.


    The attack that Yun Qian had been accumulating his energy for a long time, was already prepared. But who knew that just as Jiang Lingye''s palm was about to hit his face, his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind him.


    "Yun Qian, be careful of the back!" Su Xiruo hurriedly reminded her.


    However, Jiang Lingye was simply too fast. Yun Qian slowly turned around, and decisively slashed his sword downwards, slashing Jiang Lingye''s body into two. Only then did he realize that this was only an illusion.


    His heart sank, and his perception detected the approximate position of Jiang Lingye. His palm quickly condensed into an icy sharp blade, which swept towards Jiang Lingye''s face, and with an slightest deviation, Jiang Lingye dodged to the side slightly, and his figure instantly disappeared. In the next instant, he appeared behind Yun Qian, and sent him flying with a palm strike.


    Following that, Jiang Lingye quickly gave chase as he slashed down with his purple black Sword Qi. Yun Qian anxiously flew up and dodged with all his might, and a deep black trench was formed by Jiang Lingye on the spot with a loud bang. It was obvious what the consequences would be if that strike landed on his body.


    "Father, stop, don''t fight anymore!" Taking the chance while the battle was getting weaker, Su Xiruo immediately went forward to stand in front of Yun Qian, and said earnestly: "If Father is angry, and has nowhere to vent it, if you want to kill me, then kill me!"


    Jiang Lingye was flustered and exasperated, his fierce gaze landing on Su Xiruo who was at the side. "What can killing you do, can it increase my strength? Stop being so annoying. This sovereign will deal with you later. Get out of my way! "


    These words were like a thunder from a clear sky, falling into Su Xiruo''s heart.


    She laughed at herself: "Heh, as expected, you did all that you could to get Yun Qian''s Beast Core just to raise your own strength, right?"


    "So what?" Jiang Lingye admitted it right away, "It''s a pity, you went all the way for me, and spent a year to get Flying Feather, in order to make me stronger. It''s just that you have always been kept in the dark yourself!"


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones were curled tightly, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had suffered some sort of provocation: "Father, you''ve disappointed me so much!"


    "Disappointed? Then, it should be you who have disappointed this sovereign. " "But today, this noble one can give you a chance to atone for your deeds. If you personally kill Helian Yunqian for this noble one, father will not let bygones be bygones, and you will still be my good daughter!"


    With that, the Poison Sovereign threw a sword in front of Su Xiruo, indicating for her to quickly make her move.


    Su Xiruo was startled, he picked up the sword on the ground and slowly said: "Then, what if ¡­ I don''t want to! "


    With that, he unsheathed his blade and pointed it straight at Jiang Lingye''s throat. Su Xiruo''s expression changed, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.


    Jiang Lingye''s face immediately darkened, he was angered to the point that his hands were trembling: "This sovereign will punish you, a traitor!"


    After he finished speaking, Jiang Lingye''s blade and the berserk purplish black Spiritual Strength struck towards him. Yun Qian immediately stood up and rushed to Su Xiruo''s front, his silver white sword accumulating all his energy, and blocked Jiang Lingye''s blade with his hand.


    With a "kacha" sound, Jiang Lingye was pushed back a few steps by the sudden attack.


    "Deal with him?" Yun Qian laughed coldly with a slightly magnetic voice. With elegance and a hint of disdain, he asked, "How about you try taking care of one of my men?"


    "Yun Qian." Su Xiruo anxiously supported his tottering body, noticing that his clothes were drenched in sweat, his pitch black pupils were stained with blood, and he asked worriedly, "How are you?"


    Yun Qian was obviously forcefully suppressing the Poison Gu''s erosion and battle with his father, but if this carried on, he would be defeated sooner or later!


    Helian Yunqian forced out a smile, "It''s alright, my wife, step back a little. Just don''t let that old fellow get near."


    Then, he turned around and instructed Liu Sheng, "Liu Sheng, protect Xiruo."


    With that, Yun Qian''s figure disappeared in a flash, and in the next second, he appeared behind Jiang Lingye. Jiang Lingye''s reaction was extremely fast, as he turned around, and the two powerful Spiritual Strength s clashed once again.


    "Miss Su, retreat!" Liu Sheng pulled on Xiruo''s arm and quickly retreated. Only then was he able to escape the persecution of the remaining pressure!


    Su Xiruo stood where he was, his fingers curled tight, regretting that he was too weak and could not help in any way, but, he could not just sit there and wait for death!


    Jiang Lingye took out a bottle of venom from the Storage Ring and sprinkled it all over the forest.


    Suddenly, all the plants looked as if they had a life of their own, madly growing and wreaking havoc. They turned into a frightening purplish black color, and were filled with deadly poison.


    "Not good, Father is beginning to use poison to catalyze the growth of plants!" Su Xiruo revealed a face of worry, and raised his voice to warn Yun Qian, "Be careful!"


    Only now did Yun Qian feel the strangeness in his body, his arm was suddenly wrapped tightly by a Venomous Vine, the sharp poison thorns instantly pierced into his skin, fresh blood flowing out!


    After cutting apart the vines, his vision was now completely black. He could only rely on his perception to determine the direction in which the vines and plants would attack before rapidly dodging.


    The dense white Spiritual Strength surrounded his body and continued to climb. It turned into many sharp ice arrows and began to kill the plants one by one.


    "Damn it!" Jiang Lingye saw his poison array getting killed one by one, and was extremely unreconciled in his heart!

 C167

    It seemed that he couldn''t go head to head with this fellow. Otherwise, he would have to spend a great deal of effort to deal with him! This kid''s eyes should be blind now. Right now, disturbing his perception was the best strategy!


    Therefore, Jiang Lingye changed his strategy and stopped his overbearing attack. Instead, he started to play tricks to trick others, appearing from different directions each time and launching a surprise attack without any warning.


    Suddenly, Yun Qian felt a powerful force coming from behind him. He turned around and swung his palm forward. Immediately, he heard the sound of plants shattering.


    He was tricked, it was a mirage again!


    In the next second, a thick vine wrapped around his waist, and Jiang Lingye arrived in front of him.


    "Ugh ¡­" With a grunt, Yun Qian tried to counterattack, but his body was firmly entangled by the vines, rendering him unable to move.


    When Jiang Lingye saw that the Beast Core was right in front of his eyes, he revealed a greedy look and increased the force in his hands.


    "Yun Qian!" Seeing the situation, Su Xiruo did not care about whether he would be injured by the residual energy or not, and flew up.


    "Miss Su, don''t go over there. It''s dangerous!" By the time Liu Sheng wanted to remind him, it was already too late.


    Su Xiruo took out the Can Meng, and with a flip of his hand, he cut through the Venomous Vine. The golden Spiritual Strength quickly condensed and used its power to strike at Jiang Lingye''s back.


    "Obscene thing!" Only then did Jiang Lingye pull out his iron claws, with a flip of his hand, he pushed Su Xiruo away, opening up a distance.


    Following that, Jiang Lingye''s berserk palm wind attacked Su Xiruo''s face, as though it was ready to kill him.


    "Xiruo!" Hearing the wind, Yun Qian flew in front of Su Xiruo and protected her in his embrace, the berserk palm landed on his back and he spat out blood.


    Yun Qian''s finger bones curled tightly, and he raised his palm to push Jiang Lingye back a few steps. A golden seal quickly condensed in the center of his palm, turning into a barrier that trapped Jiang Lingye within it!


    "Damn it!" Jiang Lingye was flustered and exasperated. He raised his weapon to attack many times but the barrier was like a rock, unmoving like a mountain.


    Su Xiruo came out of Yun Qian''s embrace unscathed, and seeing that the person in front of him was covered in blood, his face was pale like a ghost, he anxiously supported his body that was like a piece of paper.


    Liu Sheng ran over in a hurry: "Master, Miss Su, how are you guys?"


    Jiang Lingye was still trying to open the barrier so angrily that his eyes were bloodshot. No matter what Spiritual Skill he used, he couldn''t open it.


    Yun Qian''s icy lips were dyed dark red by the blood as she said softly, "Old man, don''t waste your energy. With your strength, you are still unable to open this Barrier."


    "Helian Yunqian!" Jiang Lingye almost roared in anger, "If you have the guts, then let me out. What kind of ability do you have to use such underhanded methods?"


    Seeing that the Beast Core was about to be obtained, how could he not be anxious!


    "Wasn''t it you who first used underhanded methods to poison my master!" Liu Sheng retorted coldly, completely unwilling to give up.


    If master was not poisoned, so what if his Three-star and Spirit God?


    "Let me out and we''ll fight head on!" Jiang Lingye bellowed.


    "Heh, are you joking?" Yun Qian said sarcastically, "I can''t beat you right now, so why would I want to fight with you!"


    Those with brain problems would choose to let him out!


    Then he said, "Cyril... Let''s go. "


    This Barrier could only trap Poison Sovereign for an hour, so it would be fine to ridicule him, but it was not good to stay!


    "Alright!"


    "Helian Yunqian, you had better not let this sovereign get the chance. Otherwise, this sovereign will never let you go!" Jiang Lingye watched as the three left, but he was powerless. He could only curse loudly.


    This time, he had miscalculated, he had underestimated Helian Yunqian''s strength, and thought that he could handle all of this by himself. However, they could not escape, the Beast Core would sooner or later belong to him, and he would personally take care of that traitor Su Xiruo himself!


    Su Xiruo activated Wind Control Arts and brought Yun Qian a certain distance away from the deep forest. He slightly closed his eyes and leaned into his embrace, his icy lips slightly parted, as if he was saying something.


    "Yun Qian, what did you say?" Su Xiruo moved closer, and barely managed to hear his voice.


    "Liu Sheng..."


    Liu Sheng immediately came closer: "Master, what orders do you have?"


    Yun Qian''s voice was soft and his tone sounded a little weak, "Go and assign two Mercenary Group s to guard the Mercenary Academy and the Dragon''s Seal City respectively."


    "Master is worried. Would that old man really make a move against Dragon Seal Empire?" Liu Sheng had roughly guessed his intentions.


    "Yes." Just in case, it''s best to be cautious. "Tell Dean Lei and Father again and again ¡­ "All of you be more careful."


    "Yes, I''ll do it right away." Liu Sheng agreed, but was not at ease with his safety, "Then what about you? I''m worried that the old thing Jiang Lingye will catch up to us in a while. "


    Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile. "That old man caught up to us. What''s the use of you staying?"


    "That''s true." After being struck, Liu Sheng could only sigh, with his own strength, he was afraid that he would be killed in an instant by Jiang Lingye, leaving him with nothing to do.


    Thus, Liu Sheng instructed Su Xiruo: "Miss Su, may I trouble you to bring my master to the borders of the Phoenix Nest Empire. There is a bamboo forest five kilometers away, and Medical Sovereign will stay here as a hermit."


    "Medical Sovereign." After hearing these three words, Su Xiruo seemed to have seen some hope.


    I heard that Medical Sovereign, one of the Four Honored Warriors of the Humans, has always been hiding from the world, but his medical skills are superb. If he could meet Medical Sovereign, then the poison in Yun Qian''s body would be saved!


    "That''s right." Liu Sheng did not deny, "I''ll be counting on you. Miss Su, you must not let anything happen to my master."


    "Got it, I will definitely bring Yun Qian, who is safe and sound, back to the Dragon Seal Empire with ease." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip and agreed.


    After he finished warning them, Liu Sheng had no choice but to part with them first, and then turn and leave.


    Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see Yun Qian''s entire body being wrapped up by a faint golden Spiritual Strength. In the next second, his body turned into a snow-white furry eight tailed Spirit Fox, and gently slipped into Su Xiruo''s sleeves.


    Yun Qian''s injuries were too severe, even Real Body s had appeared. It seemed like he had to quickly reach the bamboo forest and find the Medical Sovereign!


    An hour later, Jiang Lingye opened the Barrier with a palm strike. At this time, a Poison Sect Protector appeared in front of him.


    "High Lord, you ¡­"


    "Useless thing, he came so late, he ran away!" Jiang Lingye slapped the Protector away and blood flew out, he was furious.


    The guard slowly raised his head, "Then, this subordinate will send people to chase him!"


    "No need." Jiang Lingye coldly snorted. At this time, he had already thought of an even better idea in his heart, "I don''t know how long I''ll have to catch up to them before they fall into my trap!"


    The protector saw the situation and quickly asked: "What does High Lord plan to do?"


    Jiang Lingye''s fingers tightened into a ball as he coldly ordered: "Send someone to go to the Dragon Seal Empire, capture all of Su Xiruo''s family members here. I don''t believe that she doesn''t even want to save her family!"


    "Yes." The protector smiled, feeling that this method was not bad, "This subordinate will do it!"


    "Also." Jiang Lingye had not finished speaking, "Attack the Dragon Seal Empire, and kill all that you can!"


    Since Helian Yunqian made him feel unhappy, then he himself would make that brat even more unhappy!


    "Yes, sir!"


    Phoenix Nest Empire was the name of being filled with doctors. Although their overall strength was much weaker compared to the other three empires, the number of doctors was not even comparable to the three empires combined.


    Most importantly, within the borders of the Phoenix Nest Empire, the Medical Sovereign created the Medical Immortal Pavilion. All the doctors who could enter the Medical Immortal Pavilion were elites!


    If she did not hear from Liu Sheng that the Medical Sovereign was living in seclusion within the bamboo forest, she would have never been able to find any trace of the Medical Sovereign.


    Su Xiruo travelled day and night, and only after two days and two nights did he finally arrive at the border of Phoenix Nest Empire and enter the bamboo forest.

 C168

    This bamboo forest was extremely quiet, it looked like a paradise, but Su Xiruo was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, while searching everywhere in the sky, he could not find a single person.


    Suddenly, she saw a wooden house in the bamboo forest. There was a small yard outside the house. There were many flowers and plants growing in the yard.


    Thus, Su Xiruo landed gently on the ground. Just as he approached the hut, he sensed that the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard were actually all High Ranked medicinal ingredients!


    Entering the courtyard, Su Xiruo carefully knocked on the door and asked: "Is there anyone here?"


    After shouting a few times, an old man''s voice could be heard, "Who are you? Why have you come to visit this old man?"


    Hearing the reply, Su Xiruo was secretly overjoyed, and immediately replied: "My name is Su Xiruo, I have specially come to visit the Medical Sovereign, to save you!"


    Just then, the door of the hut was opened by a light force, a kind looking old man with white hair appeared in front of Su Xiruo. He looked like an immortal, but Su Xiruo could feel the strong Spiritual Strength around the old man''s body.


    It was another person with Expert of Spirit God!


    Su Xiruo saw the situation, and immediately bowed: "This little lady greets Medical Sovereign, I have no choice but to intrude upon you."


    Finished speaking, she slowly lifted up her sleeve, and from within her sleeve, a dying snow-white Spirit Fox slowly crawled out.


    "Yun Qian..." What''s going on? " Medical Sovereign acted as if he had seen his old friend and placed the Spirit Fox in his arms.


    "The Medical Sovereign knows Yun Qian?" Su Xiruo felt that this was somewhat unbelievable.


    "That''s right." Medical Sovereign nodded his head, "This brat is really giving me trouble. A few days ago, he sent a heavily injured girl over, but she still hasn''t woken up. Now that I''m like this again, it really makes me worry!"


    "Little girl?" Su Xiruo suddenly thought of something, "That little girl, is her name Ye Zhuozhuo?"


    "Yeah."


    "How is Burning her?" Su Xiruo hurriedly asked.


    Medical Sovereign answered honestly, "It has already escaped from my life, but it is still unconscious. It will take a few days before I wake up."


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo became more relaxed, and Medical Sovereign curiously asked: "Girl, you still haven''t told me, how exactly did Yun Qian get injured?"


    To be able to cause such heavy injuries to his Spirit God, this matter was probably not that simple!


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip and spoke, "Since Medical Sovereign can save Yun Qian''s life first, let me tell you slowly."


    "Fine." Medical Sovereign smiled lightly, "Follow me in."


    Su Xiruo followed the Medical Sovereign into the inner room. The Medical Sovereign placed the Spirit Fox on the bed, lightly flicked his sleeves, and a rich wood attribute Spiritual Strength slowly flowed out, entering Yun Qian''s body.


    And Su Xiruo then told the whole story to the Medical Sovereign, without concealing anything.


    After a while, the white fox''s entire body was wrapped up by the green Spiritual Strength, and the Real Body disappeared from their sight, transforming into a man with an extremely exquisite face, quietly lying on the bed.


    Suddenly, the Medical Sovereign frowned, as though he had realized something: "It''s the Dissolving Gu, that old Jiang Lingye, is really ruthless!"


    "Dissolving Gu ¡­" Su Xiruo repeated these two words to himself, as if he had read about the Dissolving Gu s before.


    The level eight poison was personally concocted by his father. It could instantly destroy a person''s eyes. If the poison were to spread, one''s five senses would slowly be consumed!


    "Does Medical Sovereign have a way to deal with this Dissolving Gu?" Su Xiruo was naturally powerless against the Level 8 Poison, and could only place his hopes on Medical Sovereign.


    Medical Sovereign sighed. "This old man will try."


    Even Medical Sovereign did not say with certainty that he would be able to cure the Dissolving Gu. Su Xiruo''s mind went blank as a sense of guilt arose all of a sudden, "It''s all my fault, I was too negligent."


    "You can''t be blamed, this eighth stage Dissolving Gu is colourless and odorless, how can a little Poison Master like you be able to recognize it?" Medical Sovereign''s face carried a hint of hatred, "This old fellow Jiang Lingye, is simply too evil!"


    This Medical Sovereign instantly saw through her identity, causing Su Xiruo to be slightly shocked, but he quickly changed the topic: "Medical Sovereign, if you need any medicinal ingredients, feel free to tell me."


    "No need, I have all the ingredients, it''s just that you arrived a bit late, this old man can''t guarantee that we can clear the entire Dissolving Gu." Medical Sovereign sighed helplessly.


    If Yun Qian was hit by the Dissolving Gu, he would immediately get him to treat it. He had a 100% chance of being able to resolve it, but it had already been two or three days, and the poison had already spread far and wide.


    This little guy had really given him a difficult problem!


    "Then, I ¡­"


    "You can leave first, girl. This old man will help Yun Qian clear the Poison Gu and we need some rest. You can travel the entire way, you can rest first." Medical Sovereign''s tone sounded quite gentle.


    Even though he was somewhat reluctant, Su Xiruo still listened to Medical Sovereign: "Then, I''ll be leaving first."


    He went to take a look to see how the situation looked like.


    Thus, Su Xiruo left the room and carefully closed the door, then went forward and opened the other room.


    Seeing Ye Zhuozhuo lying on the bed with a haggard face, Su Xiruo got closer. He sighed helplessly, hating himself for being unable to do anything right now.


    "Brilliant, you must get better as soon as possible. Ling Xi is still waiting for you at the academy." Su Xiruo gently held onto Ye Zhuozhuo''s small hand, and suddenly, she found a bit of poison on her finger bones.


    With a slight frown, Su Xiruo scrutinized the venom and felt that it was terrifyingly familiar.


    Fantasy spirit liquid! This venom was created by his father. It could attract spirit beasts and stimulate them to enter an excited state!


    This was why his father was the one who controlled the Water Qilin and released it. This was also the reason why it was shined and suffered injuries. All of this was caused by him, Jiang Lingye!


    So it turns out that her good father had always been using her to deceive her sympathy. In order to improve his Spiritual Strength, he could do anything he wanted!


    "How did this happen? How did this happen?" Su Xiruo shook her head, finding it hard to accept this fact. She did not know that her father was actually so meticulous in his plans, yet she could not see through his true appearance.


    The fingerbone was curled tightly, and a little more hatred appeared in Su Xiruo''s eyes: "I hate you!"


    Towards the Poison Sovereign, she was about to turn into hatred.


    Su Xiruo took out the Azure Feather. It was precisely the Azure Feather that Poison Sovereign had previously given her. At this time, the Poison Sovereign had finally sent a message to her.


    The Spiritual Strength at Su Xiruo''s fingertip gently poured into the Azure Feather and saw the message sent by Poison Sovereign. It basically meant: Your father and grandmother are in my hands, if you want to save them, come here immediately.


    "Jiang Lingye!" As if he had lost control of his emotions, Su Xiruo tore the note to shreds.


    She wasn''t worried about that so-called father, but Jiang Lingye was actually so deranged to the point that he even grabbed her grandmother. Wasn''t this forcing her to walk right into his trap?


    However, with his grandmother in his hands, even if he knew it was a trap, he had no choice but to go!


    Her eyes went gloomy as she tried her best to calm herself down.


    As expected, Jiang Lingye made his move on Dragon Seal Empire, but unfortunately, the Mercenary Faction was a step too late!


    Thus, Su Xiruo slowly got up, glanced at Ye Zhuozhuo once, then left the room, and once again opened the other room''s door.


    "Medical Sovereign ¡­"


    Medical Sovereign kept the Spiritual Strength on her palm, and looked at her in surprise: "Girl, what''s wrong? Your face seems to be strange, could it be that you''re also injured?"


    "I''m fine." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, slowly walked to the bedside, took a look at the dying man on the bed, gently caressed his fingers and said to Medical Sovereign: "Medical Sovereign, I have some matters to attend to, Yun Qian will be troubling you to take care of me for the time being."


    Medical Sovereign frowned as he noticed something fishy. "Where are you going?"

 C169

    Seeing Su Xiruo not speaking for a long time, Medical Sovereign seemed to have guessed it, "If you go find Poison Sovereign now, you will be courting death!"


    "But, I can''t do anything about it. My only family is in his hands. Even if I have to risk my life, I will save them!" Su Xiruo''s finger bone was curled tightly, as if he had already made his decision.


    Following that, Su Xiruo continued, "Furthermore, Jiang Lingye''s target is not me, but Yun Qian. As long as Yun Qian does not appear, he will not kill me!"


    "This is too risky for you. If this little guy wakes up and finds out that I let you go to Poison Sect, wouldn''t he scold me to death?" Medical Sovereign still did not want her to take the risk.


    However, Su Xiruo''s attitude was extremely resolute, "I''m going now, Medical Sovereign doesn''t have to worry. I''ve already decided on how to save her, the only thing I can''t stop worrying about is Yun Qian."


    Following that, Su Xiruo kneeled in front of Medical Sovereign. "I beg Medical Sovereign, no matter what, you must save Yun Qian''s life. Even if you need me as your slave or as your slave, I am willing!"


    "Little girl, quickly get up. Your words are too serious." Medical Sovereign hurriedly helped Su Xiruo up, and helplessly agreed, "If you really want to go and save her, this old man might not be able to stop you even if I had the heart to. I just hope that you can be careful."


    With that, the Medical Sovereign took out a spiritual medicine from the Storage Ring and handed it over to Su Xiruo: "You take this Ling Dan. As long as it is below Spirit Sovereign, after taking it, in a short period of time, you will be able to raise your strength to the Spirit Sovereign''s level. There will be some side effects, but it''s not too big, with your physique, there shouldn''t be any problems."


    Although it was useless against Jiang Lingye when he had risen to Spirit Sovereign, it was still better than nothing. With Spirit Sovereign''s strength, he at least had more methods to escape from Jiang Lingye''s hands.


    This was probably the only thing he could do to help.


    Receiving the Ling Dan, Su Xiruo thanked her, took one last look at the people on the bed, and then left the bamboo forest.


    After leaving the bamboo forest, Su Xiruo did not immediately head towards the Poison Sect. Instead, he went to the closest city and found the Mercenary Guild. Wearing a silver white mask, he entered the Mercenary Guild.


    "I want to post a quest." Su Xiruo deliberately lowered his voice, took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeves, and placed it on the counter.


    When the waiter saw so many silver notes, he knew that it was a huge customer. He immediately beamed with joy and said, "Honored guest, please do not hesitate to instruct us on what mission you wish to issue!"


    Su Xiruo went straight to the point: "I want you all to help me spread the location of a person to the ears of Poison Sect."


    "Whose whereabouts do you want to spread, my lord?" The waiter then asked.


    "Helian Yunqian." Su Xiruo blurted out, as he continued to instruct, "The more chaotic the information is, the better. And as soon as possible, it should spread throughout the entire continent within three to five days at the best!"


    With that said, Su Xiruo took out another stack of banknotes, afraid that they would fail to handle this matter.


    As long as Yun Qian''s whereabouts were spread out, Poison Sovereign would know, he would definitely look for him in a large area. That way, he could take advantage of this opportunity and enter the Poison Sect to save others!


    "Yes, I will arrange it for you right away!" Even though they didn''t understand the other party''s intentions, no one could refuse him the moment they saw how many silver notes he had.


    Then, the waitress asked, "Then, do you have any other orders?"


    "No, this matter, hurry up and finish it for me. After this is done, I will give you all more commission!" Su Xiruo''s heart was entirely with Poison Sovereign.


    She actually wanted to directly hire a set of Mercenary Group to attack the Poison Sect, but for a mission like this, I''m afraid that no Mercenary Group would dare to accept, and it would be better if she could do it herself!


    "No problem!"


    The efficiency of the Mercenary Guild was not bad. In just three short days, Yun Qian''s whereabouts were spread widely to the Poison Sovereign, and all the news were spread around randomly.


    When Su Xiruo found out from the Mercenary Guild that the Poison Sovereign had left the Poison Sect and led his men to look for someone, he knew that it was time for him to take action!


    There was lightning in the Poison Sect, and there were two great protectors in the night. Both of them possessed the strength of a five star Spirit Sovereign.


    Su Xiruo found out from the Mercenary Guild that the Poison Sovereign and Protector Lei had already left the Poison Sect, and the ten Altar Masters had also left the Poison Sect. With the remaining Protector Ye and the seven Altar Masters, to her, this was still not an easy task!


    However, if he lost this opportunity, his chances of success would become increasingly slim!


    In front of the Poison Sect realm, Su Xiruo''s red dress fluttered, half covering her face. The moment she appeared, she was stopped by two guards.


    "Young master ¡­"


    "She is no longer our Young Master. High Lord has said that to meet Su Xiruo, we will kill her!"


    The two guards took out their weapons one by one, before they could finish their words, Su Xiruo had already seen the blood seal on their throats, and they fell to the ground and died.


    After entering the Poison Sect, Su Xiruo held onto the Can Meng, and continued to kill. Her hands were drenched in blood, as she rushed from outside the Poison Sect all the way to the rear hall. Just as she was about to enter the Poison Sect Prison, Protector Ye appeared in front of her, followed by two Altar Masters.


    "Young master, quickly surrender!" Guard Ye frowned and looked at Su Xiruo.


    Previously, in the Poison Sect, Su Xiruo had the best relationship with this Protector Ye, but now, he wanted to meet him in battle, so Protector Ye probably felt some sympathy for him.


    Su Xiruo said coldly: "Han Ye, today you either have to obediently give way and let me go in to save him, or we can meet again!"


    Han Ye slightly sighed, "Xiruo, I''m not willing to fight with you, but protecting the Poison Sect is my duty. High Lord ordered me to guard the hostages well, if you insist on doing so, then you can''t blame my subordinates for not showing mercy!"


    "Then don''t waste time!" Su Xiruo was too lazy to waste words with him, the Xi Yan flew out, straight towards Han Ye''s face.


    Han Ye retreated a few steps, and used his blade to instantly cut off all the Xi Yan, but suddenly realized, Su Xiruo''s strength had increased by a lot!


    ''This girl ¡­ '' How was he already at Spirit Sovereign''s strength? No, that''s not right. This should only be temporary. This little girl must have used a pill that could temporarily raise her strength!


    However, if he were to closely follow Spirit Sovereign, he would definitely not be his match!


    Han Ye''s body neared with each move being too tight. Su Xiruo could only strike and defend, unable to find any place to break through.


    Furthermore, she could feel that Han Ye had already shown mercy to her. Otherwise, with his strength as a five star Spirit Sovereign, she would have been defeated long ago!


    A dark and sinister Spiritual Strength pushed Su Xiruo aside. Han Ye warned, "Xiruo, as long as you obediently admit your wrongs in front of High Lord and reveal Helian Yunqian''s whereabouts, I presume that this High Lord won''t make things difficult for you. Why make an enemy out of Poison Sect like this?"


    "I''m here to save you, not to listen to your false words of righteousness!" Su Xiruo did not take his words seriously at all.


    The golden Spiritual Strength poured into the Can Meng, using it to make a small cut on his fingertip.


    Instantly, the Spiritual Strength of the Can Meng skyrocketed and the Spiritual Strength surrounding Su Xiruo also skyrocketed, to the point where it was about to reach the level of a Three-star Spirit Sovereign, and he felt like he was about to break through the limits of a Four-star Spirit Sovereign.


    This time, she was going to throw caution to the wind!


    "You ¡­ What kind of Spiritual Artifact are you talking about? " Sensing the Spiritual Strength exploding around Su Xiruo, Han Ye seemed to be dumbstruck.


    Su Xiruo did not answer his question. The berserk Spiritual Strength spilled out of his body once more, heading straight for Han Ye''s face.


    The Cold Night Finger bone was curled tightly. It seemed that if he wanted to stop this girl, he would have to use his full strength!


    Bamboo Lodge.


    "Xiruo, Xiruo ¡­" Yun Qian''s consciousness was half unconscious and half awake. He kept calling out Xiruo''s name. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly opened his eyes.


    As he looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, he realized that his eyes seemed to be able to see something.


    "Xiruo!" Yun Qian''s first reaction was to search for traces of Xi Ruo. Just as he moved, he pulled out all the wounds on his body and began to cough violently. He spat out some blood, "Cough ¡­"

 C170

    Medical Sovereign saw the situation, and immediately said: "You just stepped out of hell with one foot, quickly lie down. If anything happens again, I won''t save you."


    Hearing Medical Sovereign''s voice, Yun Qian finally knew where he was. However, he couldn''t find Xi Ruo''s figure, so he couldn''t calm down, "Medical Sovereign, where is Xi Ruo?"


    He only remembered that after he set up the Barrier to trap the Poison Sovereign, he left with Xiruo. As for what happened afterwards, whether or not the Poison Sovereign caught up, he really did not have any impression of it anymore.


    "That girl is fine. She was the one who sent you here. Don''t worry about her blindly." The Medical Sovereign spoke blandly.


    "Where is she?"


    Medical Sovereign was stunned for a moment, but perspired profusely at his question, so he could only reply: "That girl, she just went to pick the herbs. I''m afraid she will take a while to come back."


    He did not speak the truth, because he knew clearly in his heart that with Yun Qian''s personality, if he really knew that Su Xiruo had gone to the Poison Sect, he would have disregarded everything and directly ran towards the Poison Sect.


    Hearing this, Yun Qian felt slightly more at ease. "My eyes ¡­"


    At this point, the Medical Sovereign let out a helpless sigh: "That old man Jiang Lingye gave you the Dissolving Gu, and even I can only cure your eyes, but I can''t completely clear this Dissolving Gu."


    In other words, even though his eyes were restored, every time the Dissolving Gu''s poison activated, he would temporarily lose his sight, and if the Dissolving Gu was unable to be eradicated, he would very likely lose his sight again in the end!


    Then, the Medical Sovereign added, "If he wants to eradicate the Dissolving Gu, I''m afraid he can only ask Jiang Lingye for the antidote."


    However, with this brat''s personality, even if he was blind, he wouldn''t ask Jiang Lingye for the antidote!


    Sure enough, Yun Qian furrowed her brows and asked, "Is there no other way?"


    "Yes." The Medical Sovereign answered seriously, "After you advance to Oracle, this Dissolving Gu will no longer be of use to you."


    This Medical Sovereign did not say anything! Once he advances to the Oracle, he will probably have to wait for several years!


    Just in time, a servant came in from outside the room and brought a bowl of Healing Drug in. The Medical Sovereign took the bowl and instructed: "Let''s go out first."


    "Yes."


    Waiting for the servant to leave, Medical Sovereign then said to Yun Qian: "Take this Healing Drug and it can cure your internal injuries."


    Yun Qian raised his eyebrows, glanced at the Healing Drug, and pretended to be polite: "Smoky Luo Grass, Bloodrupture Flower, your medicine''s effects are too light. I''ll trouble Medical Sovereign to change the medicine''s guidance to the Heart Refining Orchid for me."


    Medical Sovereign could not help but laugh. "Yo, since when did you become an expert in medicine, and even recognize these medicinal ingredients?"


    "He only knows the basics, how would he dare to display his axe in front of the Medical Sovereign?"


    "Do you really think that those medicinal materials have no side effects?" Medical Sovereign rolled his eyes at him, "Little brat, what do you know, drink my Healing Drug obediently."


    "Cut the crap, do as I say!" Yun Qian raised her delicate eyebrows, clearly anxious.


    The only thing he wanted to do now was to heal his injuries as soon as possible, and stamp over that old man Jiang Lingye''s Poison Sect!


    "There''s only this one. Do you want to drink it or not?" The Medical Sovereign smiled intentionally, in order to not be threatened by him. After all, he was heavily injured and could not do anything to her.


    "You ¡­" Yun Qian looked at the old man who was as unmoving as a mountain. Since he could not do anything to him, he could only "endure the humiliation" and slowly stand up. Then, he finished the Healing Drug in one gulp.


    Medical Sovereign, seeing that he had been humiliated, could not help but laugh, and then secretly said: "You brat, you have such a day."


    After finishing the Healing Drug, Yun Qian was still thinking about Xiruo, so he asked, "Where did Xiruo go to gather the herbs? Why is it that the sky is almost dark and she still hasn''t come back yet?"


    Medical Sovereign was startled for a moment, and then said: "You will be back soon, what are you so anxious about?"


    "I''ll go find her." Yun Qian couldn''t help but worry that Xi Ruo might be in danger. Just as he was about to get up, he was pushed back down by the Medical Sovereign.


    "No need!"


    Suddenly, Yun Qian felt that something was wrong, the Medical Sovereign''s eyes seemed to be avoiding his gaze, as if there was something hiding from him.


    "Medical Sovereign, you and I have been friends for many years. There are some things I hope you can tell me the truth!" Yun Qian''s tone suddenly became much more serious, "Tell me the truth, where did Xi Ruo go?"


    Seeing him get serious, Medical Sovereign was at a loss of what to do for a moment. "Yun Qian, you ¡­"


    "I want to hear the truth!" He interrupted the Medical Sovereign''s words with cold words.


    Feeling helpless, Medical Sovereign could only speak the truth. "That girl Xiruo went to the Poison Sect alone."


    "What?" Hearing the two words Poison Sect, Yun Qian instantly lost control of his emotions and stood up, "She went to the Poison Sect alone, why didn''t you stop her? Don''t you know what kind of place Poison Sect is? "Ugh ¡­"


    Suddenly, the wounds that had been bandaged on his chest all split open. The fresh blood dyed his originally white clothes blood-red.


    "Yun Qian." The Medical Sovereign patiently explained to him, "Jiang Lingye captured that girl''s entire family and threatened her to go to the Poison Sect. That girl was anxious to save someone.


    "How long has Xi Ruo been gone for?" His tone was slightly calmer.


    "Three days."


    Yun Qian''s face suddenly darkened, without saying a word, he picked up his weapon and turned into a shadow, disappearing from Medical Sovereign''s line of sight. His speed was so fast that Medical Sovereign had no time to stop him.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian!" Medical Sovereign sighed, "This kid is still so reckless."


    In his current state, even if Yun Qian went to the Poison Sect, he was afraid that he would not be Jiang Lingye''s match. But that Poison Sect, even he did not dare to rashly provoke it.


    He was only a one star Spirit God, his strength was far weaker than Jiang Lingye, so he might not be able to help!


    Just then, an attendant came in from outside: "High Lord, the young lady from the side room has just woken up."


    "Ai, I won''t stop worrying about them one by one." Medical Sovereign felt extremely helpless, and planned to check on Ye Zhuozhuo''s situation first.


    After entering the room, Ye Zhuozhuo had already woken up. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, he still did not know where he was.


    "Little girl, you''re awake." Medical Sovereign sat on the bedside and asked in a gentle tone, "How do you feel?"


    "I... Where am I? " Ye Zhuozhuo looked at Medical Sovereign in a daze, "Did something happen?"


    She tried her best to recall what happened before she passed out. She only remembered that when the Water Qilin broke through the Seal, she was injured by its remaining strength.


    Medical Sovereign smiled gently: "Don''t worry, this is a safe place. You received a heavy injury, your brother sent you here to this old man for treatment."


    "So you saved my life." After Ye Zhuozhuo heard this, he immediately thanked: "Thank you, Master, for saving me!"


    "You''re welcome."


    "Then what about my older brother and the others ¡­" Ye Zhuozhuo was still very worried about this matter. After all, the Water Qilin was a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast, and he didn''t know how much danger it would bring to the entire Academy.


    "This old man will explain it to you slowly." Medical Sovereign also knew a bit about the sequence of events, so she planned to explain it to her slowly.


    The strong Spiritual Strength sent Han Ye flying. The two Spirit Monarch fingers behind Han Ye were curled up tightly, and each one of them went forward to besiege Su Xiruo, but they were sent flying several meters with a single palm from Su Xiruo!


    Seeing the anxious state of the battle, Han Ye thought that since the High Lord found out about the Poison Sect, they would probably rush back very quickly. If the High Lord comes back, then Xi Yue wouldn''t be able to escape even if she had wings!


    Forget it, if Xixi was only here to save a person, then she would just leave. At most, she would just be scolded by the High Lord!


    Thinking to this point, Han Ye purposefully revealed a flaw. After getting hit by Su Xiruo''s palm, he vomited blood and was injured, pretending to be powerless. "Damn it." Then, he gave Su Xiruo a meaningful glance, signalling her to quickly go in and save him.


    Su Xiruo shot a glance at him, as if she had realized that Han Ye was deliberately letting her win. She thanked him softly, and then rushed into the dungeon.

 C171

    Once they entered the dungeon, Su Xiruo felt an eerie atmosphere enveloping her. She quickly searched for traces of her grandmother, hoping to find her sooner.


    "Grandma, are you here?" As she was searching, she shouted. Suddenly, she saw that in the prison in front of her, Su Yuanqing''s body was being hung, and he looked to be dead.


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones had become much colder. He immediately became flustered and he took another step forward only to see that Old Mistress''s body was hanging in another dungeon.


    "Grandma, grandmother!" Su Xiruo released his energy and opened the dungeon Barrier. The Can Meng gently rotated and put down the hung corpse, but he could still feel that Old Mistress''s body was already completely cold and cold. He had probably been dead for quite a few days.


    She did not expect the Poison Sovereign to be so cruel, to actually kill them to silence her!


    Su Xiruo''s hands trembled as he hugged Old Mistress''s corpse. He lost control of his emotions and the sadness in his eyes eventually turned into hatred.


    "Jiang Lingye, this hatred is irreconcilable, I must kill you!"


    At this time, a series of footsteps sounded in his ears. Han Ye walked in and indifferently said: "Death cannot revive you. Xiruo, since you saw this corpse, then you should quickly leave. If High Lord returns later, you won''t be able to escape."


    Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tightly, and for a moment, he found it hard to accept this fact.


    Suddenly, a disciple rushed in from outside and knelt in front of Han Ye: "Protector Ye, another person has come to challenge Poison Sect!"


    "What?" Han Ye suddenly felt a headache, and asked anxiously and angrily, "Who is it? "Why did they all pick today to come?"


    "Helian Yunqian!"


    Hearing this name, Han Ye''s eyes lit up, "Alright, High Lord is looking for him everywhere. Today, he has delivered himself to us!"


    With that, Han Ye hurriedly left the dungeon. He had no mood to continue speaking with Su Xiruo.


    "Yun Qian ¡­" Su Xiruo seemed to have heard Yun Qian''s name, he suddenly raised his head, and thought of something.


    Why did he come to Poison Sect?


    Therefore, Su Xiruo raised his hand, and a berserk Yang attribute Spiritual Strength condensed in his palm. He endured the pain in his heart as though he was being stabbed by a blade, turning Old Mistress''s corpse into ashes and placed it inside a scented pouch.


    "Grandma, I''ll take you out of this place." Su Xiruo''s eyes were currently filled with hatred, "Don''t worry, I will definitely kill Jiang Lingye and avenge you!"


    Finished, Su Xiruo did not linger and hurriedly left the dungeon, intending to meet with Yun Qian first.


    At this time, the Poison Sect was already in ruins, and with a loud bang, the palace collapsed, transforming into pieces of ruins.


    Helian Yunqian held onto the blade and entered the Poison Sect, killing gods and buddhas, all of his Spirit Monarch was like an ant in front of him, not even able to withstand a single blow!


    "Helian Yunqian!" Suddenly, Han Ye''s figure flashed, and appeared in front of Yun Qian, he looked at the destroyed Poison Sect, and was enraged, "You''re really bold, to even dare to trespass into Poison Sect!"


    "Where''s Xiruo?" Yun Qian''s ink-black eyes slightly raised up, making a dangerous arc in the air.


    Han Ye coldly snorted, "Where is Xi Ri? What does it have to do with you?"


    After saying that, a violent suction force came from Yun Qian''s palm, sucking Han Ye''s entire body in. His fingers were on Han Ye''s neck, and for a moment, he couldn''t move at all. Yun Qian''s icy cold voice sounded in his ears, and he repeated what he had said just now, "Where is Xi Ruo?"


    That extremely cold and oppressive aura caused Han Ye to feel some fear.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" "She''s in the dungeon." Forced to be helpless, Han Ye could only speak the truth.


    After that, Yun Qian threw Han Ye''s body away as if he was throwing trash, the bones of his fingers curled up tightly. Seeing Yun Qian leaving in a hurry, he was still unwilling, the Spiritual Strength in his palm frantically condensed and rushed towards Yun Qian''s back.


    Yun Qian raised his gaze and lifted his unsheathed longsword to strike at Han Ye''s chest. The unreasonable strength once again sent him flying.


    "You overestimate yourself." Yun Qian calmly threw down these two words before turning around and leaving.


    Just at this time, Su Xiruo had also rushed over from the underground prison. Seeing how the blood flowed like a river along the way with countless corpses and unchanging faces, the two of them finally bumped into each other in front of the Poison Sect Entrance Hall in the swamp area.


    "Xiruo." Yun Qian hugged her and carefully examined her body from head to toe. After confirming that she wasn''t injured, he finally felt relieved and barely managed to land on the ground. "Fortunately, you''re fine."


    Seeing him, Su Xiruo opened his mouth full of joy: "Yun Qian, are your eyes alright? "And your injuries ¡­"


    It seemed like he was fine.


    "Everything is fine now." Yun Qian was stunned for a moment before he replied faintly, trying to reassure her.


    Before coming to the Poison Sect, he had consumed the even more potent Heart Refining Orchid himself, so that he could recover from his injuries in a short period of time. However, that was only for a short period of time.


    "It looks like the Medical Sovereign has really hit the jackpot." Su Xiruo could not help but secretly praise her.


    "Where''s the Old Mistress? Has he been saved?" Yun Qian could not help but ask with concern.


    At this point, Su Xiruo clenched his fist tightly. His eyes were slightly red, and carried a bit of repressed hatred. "Grandmother has already suffered miserably from Jiang Lingye''s evil hands!"


    Realizing that Xiruo had changed her mood, Yun Qian didn''t know how to comfort her for a moment, "Xiruo, people can''t live again if they die. Right now, we can only use our hands to kill Jiang Lingye, to avenge the Old Mistress!"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo''s hatred for the Poison Sovereign had already reached its limits, "I must kill him myself!"


    Before this, she had always viewed Poison Sovereign as her father. She was willing to be honest and go through fire and water for him, but now, her true appearance in Poison Sovereign was slowly exposed before her eyes. She realized more and more that she was a cruel and cold-blooded person!


    In order to be strong, he could do anything he wanted. Even his feelings for him were just an act. He just wanted to use him as a chess piece!


    At the right time, the ruthless voice of the Poison Sovereign resounded in his ears, "Just you people alone want to kill this sovereign? You are truly wishful thinking!"


    The two of them turned around, only to see that Jiang Lingye had already rushed over, and looking at the miserable Poison Sect, they were so angry that their bones were trembling: "You two really do not place me in your eyes, you dare to even challenge Poison Sect!"


    Seeing Jiang Lingye, the anger in Su Xiruo''s heart rose once again. "Jiang Lingye!"


    "My good daughter, the current you has truly disappointed me." Jiang Lingye''s eyes turned sharp, as if he was going to cut her into a thousand pieces.


    Hearing him say such words, Su Xiruo felt that it was a little laughable currently, "Jiang Lingye, it was indeed you who took me in one year ago, and passed onto me the Spiritual Strength and the Toxicology. But in this one year, I have done my best for you, and did my duty. I have long since broken off all ties with you, father and daughter. From now on, we will never live under the same sky! "


    "Hur hur, that''s great!" Jiang Lingye''s eyes widened, he accepted the challenge, "However, you are now so stubborn, if you regret it in the future, don''t look for me to cry!"


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, and made up his mind. He would break it with the Poison Sect!


    Following that, Jiang Lingye''s gaze landed on Yun Qian''s body, his face revealing a little astonishment. How did his injuries heal so quickly?


    No, it was the Heart Refining Orchid! These guys must have used the Heart Refining Orchid and temporarily recovered all of their injuries. Heh, they really don''t care for their lives. They probably don''t know how powerful the backlash from the Heart Refining Orchid is!


    "Today, step on my Poison Sect and none of you will leave!" When Jiang Lingye finished speaking, the violent purplish black Spiritual Strength around him surged crazily, and the sky that was originally normal instantly darkened.


    Behind Jiang Lingye, two great protectors appeared, along with ten Altar Master and countless of his sister-in-law. They were definitely going to get rid of the two of them in one fell swoop.


    The corner of Yun Qian''s lips curled up slightly, forming a mysterious arc. "Then we''ll still have to see if you have the ability to do so!"

 C172

    "What an arrogant tone!" Protector Lei stood at the edge of the swamp, seemingly ready to make his move, "Today, this Poison Sect shall be the place where you die!"


    "Sure." Yun Qian smiled noncommittally as he unsheathed his long sword. The sharp Sword Qi brought with it a white light as it drew a line in the air, blocking Protector Lei and the others outside the barrier.


    "Helian Yunqian, you!" Suddenly, all of the disciples could not hold themselves back anymore. Even the Poison Sovereign was shocked, as if she did not expect that this brat would do such a thing.


    Yun Qian turned around and flirtatiously glanced at Protector Lei: "You want to kill me? You should have a chance to make a move first! "


    That tone was filled with extreme ridicule!


    At this moment, with the exception of Poison Sovereign, all the other Poison Sect disciples were blocked off, how could they have any chance of fighting!


    "You are truly despicable and shameless!" Jiang Lingye glared at him, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.


    "Old thing." Yun Qian''s tone was full of contempt, it carried a little provocation and disdain, "You are the head of a sect after all. With so many people surrounding and attacking both of us, aren''t you ashamed? The reason why I am doing this is to protect your dignity. Even if I were to lose, it wouldn''t be too embarrassing! "


    Looking at Jiang Lingye''s flustered and exasperated expression, Su Xiruo secretly rejoiced in his heart. He thought to himself, What Yun Qian did was really the best!


    "Good, then this sovereign will let you all die!" Jiang Lingye could no longer hold it in, the Spiritual Artifact moved, and slashed towards Yun Qian''s face.


    Yun Qian hugged Su Xiruo''s waist and swiftly swept past the attacks of the Poison Sovereign, bringing her to the safest corner as he warned: "Protect yourself well!"


    Before Su Xiruo could say anything, Yun Qian''s figure disappeared, and in the next second, he reappeared in front of Poison Sovereign. The sword''s hilt had pierced into Jiang Lingye''s abdomen, bringing with it a powerful force and knocking him back a few metres.


    The two of them exchanged a few moves, Jiang Lingye actually did not have the upper hand, after all, his advantage lay in his hidden attack, but that fellow called Helian Yunqian simply did not follow the rules and used his trump card.


    Not long after, Poison Sovereign with Spirit God were at a disadvantage even when compared to Yun Qian, a one star Spirit God.


    Jiang Lingye''s finger bones tightened as he panted slightly. His gaze was fixated on the weapon in Yun Qian''s hand.


    The Spiritual Artifact in Helian Yunqian''s hands, was definitely a set of Divine Instrument! Any Spiritual Artifact that was used, would have their lethality increase twofold. Someone of the same level simply could not be his opponent, and it would be somewhat difficult for his own Three-star to fight!


    If this continued, he would no longer have any advantage.


    "Is it okay?" Yun Qian mocked him sarcastically, "If you can''t do it anymore, kneel down and beg for mercy. Perhaps, I can even spare your pathetic life!"


    "Hmph, boasting like that!" Jiang Lingye was not to be outdone, a suction force pulled at the poisonous liquid from the swamp, turning it into poisonous thorns, approaching Yun Qian, following that, a piece of poisonous branch shot out from the Storage Ring, instantly transforming into countless poisonous thorns, approaching Yun Qian from behind.


    Yun Qian did not reveal a trace of panic, with a shake of his body, he transformed into a gigantic Eight Tailed Spirit Fox, with a lift of its claws, it immediately shattered all the poisonous thorns and branches, turning them into nothingness!


    "Eight Tailed Spirit Fox!" Jiang Lingye was stunned, she thought she had seen wrongly, "This ¡­ The Strength of Beast Spirit is the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan! "


    The Eight Tailed Spirit Fox''s body carried a berserk force, approaching Jiang Lingye. Jiang Lingye retreated quickly and used Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill to resist, the Spiritual Skill landed on the Eight Tailed Spirit Fox''s body, but was unable to harm it at all!


    "Eight Tailed Spirit Fox." Su Xiruo stood at the corner and was slightly taken aback as he looked at the enormous Eight Tailed Spirit Fox in front of him.


    These eight tailed Spirit Fox, were they Yun Qian''s Real Body? The Spiritual Strength''s imposing aura and aura that was being released by his body, was even more terrifying than that of the Water Qilin s!


    Jiang Lingye was sent flying by the palm strike, but immediately calmed down!


    He wasn''t completely helpless against a Spiritual Beast. It was just that this Spiritual Beast was a bit more difficult to deal with!


    Jiang Lingye took out a harp from his chest pocket, and started playing it lightly with his fingertips.


    He didn''t know how many spirit beasts this Fantasy Nite Zither had helped him tame before, but once it was released, it could instantly disturb a spirit beast''s mind.


    The Spiritual Strength fluctuated, following the appearance of Jiang Lingye''s fingertip, it was also extremely poisonous, and suddenly, Su Xiruo sensed that the Spiritual Strength was strange, and warned him: "Yun Qian, don''t go near him!"


    With that said, two Venomous Vine s flew out from Su Xiruo''s sleeves and pounced on Jiang Lingye, interrupting his song!


    The tune stopped, and the Eight Tailed Spirit Fox roared, the force immediately breaking the zither, causing Jiang Lingye to vomit blood. He rushed to attack Su Xiruo, with the help of the Eight Tailed Spirit Fox, it protected Su Xiruo behind its tail and released a violent attack that blew Poison Sovereign''s entire body away, following that, its body disappeared and started to fight with Poison Sovereign in the air.


    The color of the wind and clouds changed. The Strength of Beast Spirit seemed to have enveloped the entire Poison Sect, and even the entire Midland!


    At this time, within the borders of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, a middle-aged man looked at the berserk Strength of Beast Spirit that came from the Midland.


    It appeared, it finally appeared!


    The eight tailed Spirit Fox and Jiang Lingye fought intensely, and after fighting for four whole hours, it was hard to determine the victor, but the Poison Sect disciples could only stare blankly outside the barrier, unable to do anything.


    At this time, Jiang Lingye was already a little weak. After getting so many injuries on his body, he could only keep dodging. In his heart, he thought, after so long, isn''t that kid tired?


    However, as long as he kept delaying like this, he would win!


    With a light palm, Jiang Lingye increased the distance between him and Yun Qian. The Eight Tailed Spirit Fox landed beside Su Xiruo, and returned to its human form.


    Jiang Lingye seemed to have noticed something and couldn''t help but laugh: "Helian Yunqian, did anyone not tell you before that the medicinal effects of this Heart Refining Orchid can''t be maintained for long?"


    "Heart Refining Orchid!" Hearing those three words, Su Xiruo''s face changed, "Yun Qian, you ¡­"


    She was very familiar with the Heart Refining Orchid, and it was an extremely potent medicinal herb. It was usually used to make poison and had a strong medicinal effect. As a result, the backlash was equally severe!


    No wonder she could not understand why Yun Qian''s injuries healed so quickly. He had used the Heart Refining Orchid!


    "I think it''s better for you to surrender as soon as possible. A wise man knows what''s good for him." Jiang Lingye''s face revealed a pleased smile, "You are not this sovereign''s match, give up as soon as possible!"


    "It''s enough to deal with you." Yun Qian smiled noncommittally, a light force floated the Spiritual Artifact in the air, the air seemed to have frozen over in an instant.


    The blades instantly transformed into more than ten long swords. The shallow cloud finger bones were curled tightly, and with almost all of his strength, he managed to throw out all ten or so swords!


    Jiang Lingye sensed the danger and retreated quickly, but it was already too late. More than ten silver-white figures pierced through his body, blood splattering in all directions.


    Yun Qian hugged onto Xiruo''s body and backed off a distance to avoid the frightening residual energy shockwave. It was as if Su Xiruo had not recovered from the shock and was still in a state of shock.


    The Spiritual Skill Yun Qian had used just now, it was simply enough to make one''s hair stand on end.


    "Quickly kill them!" The barrier shattered as the Poison Sect disciples gathered their Spiritual Strength one after another, intending to kill.


    Yun Qian immediately retracted his blade, and with a flip of his hand, the Sword Qi s flew all the disciples away, he grabbed Su Xiruo and left the Poison Sect which was already like a pot of porridge!


    Jiang Lingye was severely injured, and fell from the sky, landing on a spirit boat in the swamp, immediately spitting out blood, feeling as though his internal organs were about to be shattered.


    Just now, that guy, what kind of Spiritual Skill did he use, he didn''t even have the slightest chance to counterattack, it was simply too terrifying!


    "High Lord, are you alright?" Protector Lei and Protector Ye hurriedly came forward and asked.


    "Hmph, a bunch of useless things!" Jiang Lingye ordered coldly, "Pass this sovereign''s orders, send people to seal the entire Midland secretly. Remember, do not alert the other forces!"

 C173

    The Poison Sect was located in the center of the Four Great Empires, but it did not belong to any of the Empires.


    Other than Poison Sect, there was also Mercenary Guild headquarters, Spirit Domain, and the three main forces of the Equipment Department. These three powers did not dare to offend the Midland easily, so he could only send people to secretly do the sealing of the Midland, and did not dare to be too arrogant on the surface.


    Jiang Lingye was sure, but he was sure, that Helian Yunqian was also severely injured, and would not be able to run away from the Midland in a short amount of time. As long as he sealed off all the Midland, the two of them would not be able to escape either!


    "Lei Li, lead your men to track the eastern side of Midland, Han Ye, lead your men to track the western side. Also, ambush a large number of disciples at the four exit areas of Midland, once you find Helian Yunqian and Su Xiruo, kill them!" Jiang Lingye''s tone carried deep hatred.


    "Yes sir!" The two Protectors lowered their heads to accept the order, but in the cold night''s eyes, there was an additional sense of compassion.


    "Then High Lord, what will you do?" Lei Li asked.


    "My Spiritual Strength has been greatly damaged, so I need to go into closed-door training for a period of time." Jiang Lingye curled his fingers tightly, he was extremely unwilling, "When this sovereign comes out, I hope to see you all personally gift the Beast Core to this sovereign!"


    Lei Li immediately knelt down, "Don''t worry High Lord. As long as this subordinate is here, the two of them should not even think about leaving the Midland half a step!"


    Han Ye also knelt down, but asked tentatively, "Young Master ¡­" You want me to kill you too? "


    Jiang Lingye glared at him coldly, "She is already not the young master of this Poison Sect. Han Ye, are you going to disobey this sovereign''s orders?"


    "I don''t dare!"


    "Hmph, that would be for the best." Jiang Lingye scoffed, "If I were to find out that you have any ulterior motives, you will end up dead!"


    Han Ye slightly nodded his head and did not say another word. His heart was always at a loss and he did not know what to do.


    He didn''t want to make a move against Xi Ruo, and he couldn''t kill her either. Now, he could only take a step forward.


    Midland, Mercenary Guild Headquarters.


    Inside the main hall, a Men In Black was wearing a mask with his black eyebrows and starry eyes. However, he was still unable to hide his delicate and cold face.


    "Did you find him?" The Men In Black asked coldly.


    A mercenary dressed like a Dark Guard kneeled in front of His Highness and reported truthfully: "Reporting to the great protector, there hasn''t been any yet. The people from the Poison Sect have already secretly sealed off the four great exits of the Midland, so we only need to search the Midland s for them and we will be able to find the whereabouts of the president."


    Anger appeared on Men In Black''s face: "Are Poison Sect people this arrogant?"


    "They secretly sent people to ambush us." The mercenary answered truthfully, "Chief Protector, this is actually a good method to reduce the scope of our search."


    Men In Black snorted: "Send another ten thousand mercenaries to search the entire city!"


    Following that, the man added, "Also, pass down an order to the Mercenary Guild. From then on, kill every Poison Sect disciple you see!"


    His tone was cold and harsh without a trace of emotion.


    "Yes sir!"


    After the mercenaries disappeared, the Men In Black stood up and looked out the window. The sky had already darkened and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.


    The Midland was located in the middle of the Four Great Empires, and because it was not under the jurisdiction of any of the empires, relatively speaking, this place was quite chaotic and there were all kinds of people here.


    On the streets, a group of purple-robed Dark Guard s travelled back and forth, searching door to door.


    "Milords, show mercy!" The woman saw that the only furniture in her thatched cottage had been destroyed, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.


    One of the Dark Guard turned around and kicked the woman away. "Scram, you don''t have the right to speak here!"


    The woman fell to the ground, unable to retaliate. She could only cry out, "What a sin!"


    The Poison Sect disciples searched the city, and the ones who were affected were ordinary families like them. However, they did not dare to openly go against the Poison Sect.


    Suddenly, the wooden door shook, and ten mercenaries appeared outside. The Dark Guard s had just reacted, they were all killed by the mercenaries, not a single one was left!


    "This Poison Sect person is too despicable, he won''t even let ordinary people off!" One of the mercenaries angrily said.


    The leading mercenary helped the woman up. The lady thanked him profusely, "Thank you, my lords. Thank you for saving my life!"


    "You''re welcome." The leading mercenary''s tone was extremely polite as he urged, "The Poison Sect has been quite rampant lately. If the sky gets too dark in the future, you guys shouldn''t go out."


    The woman let out a helpless sigh and said: "Sigh, you all don''t know, even if you don''t go out, their Poison Sect''s disciples would still break in.


    The mercenary curled up his fingers, hated the two words Poison Sect to the bone.


    As long as their Mercenary Guild exists, anyone with Poison Sect can forget about continuing to act so arrogantly!


    Outside a dilapidated temple on the street, Poison Sect disciples were patrolling the place, looking like they were afraid of anyone.


    Su Xiruo hid within the temple, passing through the cracks in the door and checking the situation outside. He couldn''t help but crease his eyebrows, feeling that the situation wasn''t good.


    "Xiruo ¡­" Yun Qian''s intermittent voice transmitted into his ears. At this moment, he was already in a semi-conscious state and had long since lost track of the situation in the outside world.


    Su Xiruo turned around, holding onto his ice-cold fingerbone with a face full of worry, and seemingly muttering to himself: "I have to find a place right now to treat Yun Qian''s injuries."


    But in the situation outside, if he were to use the Spiritual Strength, it would probably be exposed immediately.


    In just a few short hours, she had already dealt with the three attempts at killing using her Poison Sect. Furthermore, she discovered that all the exits from the Midland had been set up with Poison Sect ''spies, and it was difficult for even a fly to fly out.


    Suddenly, she heard a movement approaching her, she immediately pulled out her Can Meng, and was ready.


    "It''s me." The next second, a familiar voice entered his ears.


    Su Xiruo raised his head and saw that it was Han Ye. His vigilance did not decrease in the slightest, "Han Ye, are you following orders to capture me?"


    Han Ye sighed helplessly. "If I really capture you and bring you back, then you will lose your life."


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, she could not quite understand what he meant, "What do you mean?"


    "The High Lord has already ordered people to seal off all exits of the Midland, and to search for the two of you with all their might, they have used almost all of the power of the Poison Sect!" Han Ye told her about the current situation. "So right now, your situation is extremely dangerous!"


    "Heh, you''ve told me so much ¡­"


    "Xiruo." At that time, in the Poison Sect, I was the only one who knew her, and the first time we met, you still didn''t know my true identity, so the relationship between you and I can be considered to be so pure that there isn''t any impurities in it. Right now, I really don''t want anything to ruin the relationship between us.


    Su Xiruo was startled, only to see Han Ye raising his hand and opening a Spiritual Strength, secretly opening a different exit of the temple, he said: "You guys hurry up and leave, this time, just pretend I didn''t see you guys, next time we meet, I won''t be merciful!"


    "You ¡­" Hearing up to this point, Su Xiruo was actually slightly moved.


    "Hurry up!" Han Ye couldn''t help but urge, "If you hesitate a little longer, they will come searching for us soon!"


    Therefore, Su Xiruo didn''t hesitate anymore and helped Yun Qian up, saying to Han Ye: "Han Ye, this favor today, in the future, I will definitely repay you!"


    "There''s no need to be so polite with me." Han Ye helplessly smiled, as if as long as she could be at ease, he would feel at ease.


    Looking at Su Xiruo''s hastily leaving figure, Han Ye was lost in thought for a while. After that, Poison Sect disciples were immediately searched in.


    "Protector Ye, is there any movement here?"


    "Search carefully!" Han Ye ordered coldly.

 C174

    "Yes sir!"


    Thus, a dozen or so Poison Sect disciples searched the entire broken temple over and over again, and didn''t even see a single person.


    "Reporting to the Protector, we did not discover anyone!"


    Han Ye slightly nodded his head, "Alright, then we''ll change locations and continue searching!"


    "Protector Ye!" Suddenly, a disciple seemed to have discovered something, "There is blood here!"


    Han Ye turned around, pretended to ponder over it, and said: "It looks like they have been here before, we were a step too late!"


    "Protector Ye, the two of them must be near the West City!" The disciple guessed.


    Han Ye didn''t deny it. "Increase the search power, don''t let go of every corner, but remember to... Dodge the Mercenary Group! "


    In the last few days, for some unknown reason, they had to come here to mix in with the Mercenary Group and create some trouble for them. However, Mercenary Group was not something that could be easily provoked.


    Su Xiruo brought Yun Qian Qian and escaped from the dilapidated temple, but seeing that they were surrounded by Poison Sect people, there was no way out at this moment. They could only try their best to find a more secluded location.


    As they entered a small alley, suddenly, more than ten sturdy looking men appeared in front of them. All of them were tall and sturdy, with extremely vulgar faces.


    "Beauty, this is our territory!"


    Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tightly, preparing to kill them, but someone had already taken the initiative to attack, and the hidden weapons had instantly injured those men.


    Ahh!


    Su Xiruo looked over, to see that the one who did this was a lady with a pretty face, she raised her voice and said to the men: "Doing such a shameful thing, I think, you guys are the ones who do not want to die!"


    One star Heavenly Spirit Master! Su Xiruo slightly frowned. He saw through the true strength of the woman with a single glance.


    When the men stood up and saw that it was a woman, they were unwilling to accept it and immediately attacked with their big swords and clubs.


    With a light backhand strike, the woman knocked all the men down to the ground, leaving them with no strength to fight back.


    "All of you, scram!" The woman ordered coldly.


    The men struggled to their feet, probably knowing that they were no match for him, and left dejectedly.


    Su Xiruo slightly sighed, and said a word of thanks: "Thank you, Miss, for saving me."


    The woman looked at the heavily injured man in Su Xiruo''s embrace and couldn''t help but frown: "There''s no need to be so polite. I see that this young master''s injuries are extremely serious.


    At this time, Su Xiruo truly could not find anywhere to hide, so he agreed, "Then, I''ll have to trouble this young lady."


    She followed the woman into a small house at the side. Inside the house was a tall man.


    With Eight-star, Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, and instantly saw through the man''s strength. It looks like, these two aren''t weak!


    "My wife, this is?" The man looked at the lady and stared at Su Xiruo. His tone was full of questions.


    Su Xiruo then took the initiative to speak out: "My name is Xiruo, my husband has been severely injured, and has nowhere to go.


    The woman then introduced, "Oh, Xiruo, no need to be polite. My name is Chu Xinyue, and this is my husband, Xiao Yu, you two ¡­ It must have also been persecuted by the Poison Sect, right? "


    Recently, when Poison Sect searched everyone in the Midland, common folk suffered similarly, and there were even more who were displaced.


    After being stunned for a moment, Su Xiruo nodded his head: "That''s right."


    They could be considered to have suffered the persecution of the Poison Sect, but it was just that the Poison Sect''s target was them.


    As such, he couldn''t stay here for too long. If he implicated the innocent, then things wouldn''t be good.


    At this time, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, as if he was doubting something. "My wife, we can''t even protect ourselves now, how can you bring people with unknown origins to our home?"


    Hearing this, Chu Xinyue immediately became discontented: "Husband, among the two of them, one of them is powerless, the other one is in a coma from serious injuries, what kind of bad person could they be?"


    "You forgot." Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, "It is precisely because we were nosy that we ended up like this today!"


    Although Xiao Yu understood in his heart that these two people would not pose much of a threat to them, because of the lessons from before, he really did not dare to act like this anymore, and bring disaster upon himself.


    "Husband, we can''t just watch helplessly as the two of us die!" Chu Xinyue still couldn''t bear it, "Outside are people of Poison Sect. If they go out, where can they go?"


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded, and lightly said: "Since there''s something inconvenient here, then I won''t disturb you any longer and will be leaving first."


    Xiao Yu shook his head, as if he had made a great decision. In the end, he called out to Su Xiruo, "Wait, you all stay!"


    It was true that his wife was right. Everyone outside were from the Poison Sect. If the two of them went out, there was only death waiting for them.


    Su Xiruo stopped and hurriedly thanked her.


    Chu Xinyue immediately said with a beaming smile, "Xiruo, follow me. I''ll arrange for the two of you to stay in the side room."


    Thus, Su Xiruo supported Yun Qian and followed Chu Xinyue into a side room. The room looked extremely simple and clean.


    Su Xiruo placed Yun Qian on the bed, Chu Xinyue walked forward, and tested Yun Qian''s pulse. In the next second, her beautiful face suddenly paled, "Miss Xiruo, this ¡­ This young master''s injuries. "


    She had been a doctor for so many years, but had probably never seen such a severe injury before. Furthermore, she was still alive.


    "I see ¡­" You''d better hurry and find a doctor with Midland above that level to save this young master. " Chu Xinyue''s expression became gloomy, probably thinking that without the ability of Heavenly Ranked and above, he would not be able to treat such an injury.


    "No need, I can save him." Su Xiruo''s tone was still full of confidence.


    "You?" Chu Xinyue revealed a look of astonishment, changed directions, and didn''t want to delay Xiruo''s treatment because of him, so he asked, "So it''s like this, do you need my help?"


    Su Xiruo said calmly: "No need, I am already very sorry for disturbing you this time, there is no need for Miss Chu to do anything else."


    "Then, I''ll go out first." Chu Xinyue nodded his head lightly, then left the room with a meaningful glance, closing the door at the same time.


    "My wife, I can say this first. I can only keep them for one night." When Xiao Yu saw that Chu Xinyue had come out, he immediately pulled her to the side and quietly warned, "Otherwise, if we bring disaster upon ourselves, even we ourselves will not be able to escape responsibility."


    "Got it." Chu Xinyue sighed helplessly, "Actually my husband, I know, you can''t bear it, too. You don''t want to chase them away!"


    "This is a special period." Xiao Yu''s face became serious, "And recently, Poison Sect has been looking for people. If they happen to be the ones they''re looking for, then we''re openly going against them!"


    Chu Xinyue was startled for a moment, then laughed: "How is that possible, how could there be such a coincidence?"


    "Alright." Xiao Yu was also unwilling to say more, "My wife, it''s getting late, you should rest early. Let''s talk about this matter tomorrow!"


    As soon as his voice fell, the door was pushed open with a loud bang. Five or six men dressed like mercenaries stood outside the door. Each one of them had an arrogant aura, as if they were looking for trouble.


    Xiao Yu and Chu Xinyue immediately became more vigilant, as if they had met an old acquaintance.


    Xiao Yu took a step forward and coldly said to them: "Lin Feng, I am no longer a member of your Sky Flame Mercenary Group. Why do you still have to make things difficult for me?"


    The mercenary named Lin Feng, who was leading the group, laughed and arrogantly entered the house, "Our Guild Leader has already said that as long as she returns to the group leader''s side, all our past grudges will vanish like smoke in thin air!"


    Lin Feng pointed at Chu Xinyue who was behind Xiao Yu, his tone carrying a tinge of provocation.

 C175

    "Go back and make Huo Li lose his heart!" Chu Xinyue bellowed, he was extremely angry.


    "Heh, you are quite tenacious. However, you will not end up well if you go against us!" Lin Feng took a step forward. The strong pressure of the Spiritual Strength nearly caused the two of them to lose their breath.


    Xiao Yu''s eyes did not contain any fear: "Lin Feng, if you have any grievances, just come after me. This has nothing to do with my wife!"


    "If you say it''s okay, then it''s okay?" Lin Feng coldly snorted, "There is no way to discuss this matter. Either she follows us, or ¡­. It''s up to you! "


    Xiao Yu''s finger bone was curled tightly, as though he was already fully prepared. He turned towards Chu Xinyue and said: "Go into the house and hide!"


    "No, no matter what, I want to face it with you!" Chu Xinyue rejected him and looked at Lin Feng coldly.


    The violent Spiritual Strength poured out of his palm and Xiao Yu faced it head-on, yet he was hit by the opponent''s palm and flew, falling onto the ground, while the tables and chairs in the room were scattered all over the floor.


    This Lin Feng, had the strength of a one star Spirit Monarch, and was the vice captain of Sky Flame Mercenary Group. Normally, anyone he saw was a proud and arrogant face, and as long as he wanted to do something, he would do it no matter what he did!


    "Husband!" Chu Xinyue immediately stood in front of Xiao Yu, her delicate and pretty face slightly knitted, "Lin Feng, stop, I will follow you!"


    "My wife, no!"


    "Haha, Chu Xinyue, you''re the smart one." Lin Feng laughed complacently and hooked his finger at Chu Xinyue, "Someone, take her away!"


    While Lin Feng was distracted, Chu Xinyue suddenly took action, throwing out a few silver needles, but they were discovered by Lin Feng. He flicked his sleeves, the silver needles shot back, injuring Chu Xinyue''s arm.


    "Stop playing tricks on me!" Evidently, Lin Feng had completely lost his patience with them.


    The noise coming from outside the door entered into Su Xiruo''s ears. Frowning slightly, he was forced to stop his Spiritual Strength: "So noisy!"


    She slowly walked to the door and secretly observed what was happening outside. She saw four to five mercenaries rush into the house, threatening the couple.


    Forget about it. This husband and wife pair could be considered to have done him a favor. Thus, he helped them solve the trouble outside of the door and sort of cleared his own ears.


    Therefore, as Su Xiruo passed through the wooden door, the golden Spiritual Strength condensed in the center of his palm and poured into Xiao Yu''s body in one go. In an instant, as if he had received a new life, Xiao Yu sent Lin Feng flying out of the door with a palm strike, and immediately vomited blood.


    The few mercenaries behind him were stunned for a moment, and then they rushed forward together. Su Xiruo used his force to swing the remaining mercenaries onto the ground with their limbs spread out, looking miserable in all directions.


    Lin Feng stood up with a blank face, as if he did not know what had just happened, "Xiao Yu, you ¡­ When did your strength become so strong? "


    He remembered that when Xiao Yu left Sky Flame''s Mercenary Group, she was only a Eight-star. Now, even his one star Spirit Monarch was not his opponent?


    Even Xiao Yu himself didn''t know what had just happened. He only felt that his Spiritual Strength had explosively increased in strength just now, but that power wasn''t his either.


    "From what I see, there might be other experts hidden in this room!" A mercenary whispered into Lin Feng''s ear.


    Lin Feng lightly nodded his head. After having roughly felt that his words made sense, he said: "Forget it, I will let you off this time. However, you all just wait, this matter is not over!"


    Finished speaking, Lin Feng brought the other mercenaries and left with a face full of dust.


    Xiao Yu slightly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought, I''m finally safe.


    The door to the room was pushed open, and Su Xiruo walked out of the room.


    In the situation just now, most likely only Su Xiruo had the motive to save him!


    It was just that he did not expect that this seemingly weak little girl, would actually be so powerful, and could force back his Spirit Monarch with a single move!


    "You''re welcome." Su Xiruo smiled and continued to ask, "Those people just now, were they Mercenary Group?"


    "That''s right." Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, "They are the somewhat famous Sky Flame Mercenary Group."


    "Do you have any relations with that Mercenary Group?" After Su Xiruo asked this question, he realized that his tone sounded a little presumptuous, and hurriedly changed his tone, "Sorry, I spoke too much. I just thought that if you guys have any difficulties, maybe, I can help."


    Chu Xinyue indicated for her to sit down: "It''s alright, this matter, is also not a shameful matter, you ¡­ Can you really help us? But the leader of the Sky Flame Mercenary Group is a Four-star! "


    Su Xiruo laughed noncommittally: "When I was in my room earlier, I accidentally overheard some of your conversation. The two of you, were originally from the Sky Fire Mercenary Group as well?"


    "That''s right." Xiao Yu then explained to her, "My wife and I were originally mercenaries under the Sky Flame Mercenary Group. Not long ago, the Mercenary Group issued a mission to hunt Six Rank Spiritual Beast. Seeing that the six star spirit beast did not have any harmless intentions, it felt sympathy for it and softly released the spirit beast. The captain flew into a rage and removed my Mercenary Group, forbidding me to register as a mercenary for the rest of my life! "


    "Therefore, I left with my husband." Chu Xinyue added, "That Huo Li was always against my husband, and now that we have all left the Mercenary Group, they will not let him off!"


    "You released a spirit beast, so your Mercenary Group was permanently removed?" Su Xiruo more or less understood what he meant, "This kind of punishment, is indeed too severe."


    To a true mercenary, being struck down was even more humiliating than taking his life!


    "Miss Xiruo, being soft-hearted is a taboo for mercenaries, I violated it, so I was kicked out. I admit to this, but that Huo Li repeatedly came to cause trouble for us, and even tried to steal my wife away, I really can''t tolerate it!" As Xiao Yu said till here, his tone contained even more rage.


    Su Xiruo did not comment and simply smiled: "All people have seven emotions and six desires, if one''s heart is soft and not soft-hearted, then it is natural to clearly distinguish between them. What kind of taboo is that? "Who set this rule?"


    "Shh!" Hearing this, Chu Xinyue immediately made a gesture of silence, looked left and right, and then said with extreme caution, "Xiruo, this rule was set by the Mercenary Guild president himself. Midland are all over the place and people of the Mercenary Group, don''t spout nonsense.


    "It''s that mysterious Mercenary Guild Guild Master?" Su Xiruo did not take it to heart, after all, very few people had seen the Mercenary Guild head of the main branch, and he did not even know the name, let alone see one.


    "Alright." Xiao Yu was afraid of her spouting nonsense, so he immediately changed the topic, "Miss Xiruo, right now, both of us are unable to protect ourselves, so stay here with your husband for the night. Tomorrow morning, let''s leave quickly!"


    He also did not want to implicate innocent people because of him.


    Su Xiruo did not have any plans to leave. "My husband is heavily injured, and currently, he needs a place to recuperate. It just so happens that I can help you guys resolve this problem."


    "You mean, Huo Li?" Chu Xinyue felt that it was a little unbelievable. Was this little girl going to challenge Sky Flame Mercenary Group?


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, "Mn, I think that guy will definitely come looking for us again.


    "But that''s Four-star!" Chu Xinyue lowered her voice. She probably didn''t think that a weak girl like Su Xiruo was able to handle Four-star.


    "Let him do it." Su Xiruo didn''t mind at all, "Let me see to what extent a mere Four-star can be so arrogant."


    Listening up to here, Chu Xinyue and Xiao Yu couldn''t help but shiver. Even though they didn''t quite believe it, with this girl, Xi Ruo Ruo''s strength, who had just forced Lin Feng back in one move, she shouldn''t be too weak.


    He might as well believe her this time!


    Suddenly, the sounds of coughing came from inside the room. Su Xiruo was startled, and immediately turned back into the room.

 C176

    "Yun Qian, are you awake?" Su Xiruo rushed to the side of the bed, looked at the person on the bed and slowly opened his eyes, instantly revealing a happy expression.


    Yun Qian opened his eyes and a chaotic darkness entered his vision. He did not know if it was day or night, but he could vaguely hear Xi Ruo''s voice. Her sexy cherry-like lips looked pale and dry at this moment.


    "Xiruo, we ¡­ "Where is this place?" he asked.


    "We are safe for now." Su Xiruo answered concisely, and did not explain the situation in the outside world.


    As for Yun Qian, he could hear the faint rustling of the grass and the wind outside. He wanted to get up, but he suddenly began to cough violently, spitting out some blood.


    Seeing that, Su Xiruo poured himself a cup of tea and helped Yun Qian up: "Drink some."


    Yun Qian extended his finger bone to catch it, but it suddenly missed. The teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces!


    Immediately, Su Xiruo''s hands trembled, as if he had discovered something. "Yun Qian, you ¡­ You can''t see it? "


    Seeing that his eyes, which were as bright as the stars, were currently shrouded with a layer of indifferent hollowness, Su Xiruo''s finger bones were tightly curled, his eyes were slightly red, and his nails were almost embedded into his flesh.


    "Don''t worry ¡­"


    Su Xiruo used the Spiritual Strength to probe his pulse. As expected, the poison had not cleared!


    For a moment, she lost control of her emotions: "How could this happen? Didn''t you tell me that your eyes were fine? Could it be ¡­ Even Medical Sovereign cannot do anything about it.


    "Xiruo." On the contrary, Yun Qian comforted her, "Don''t worry, Medical Sovereign has already treated my eyes. It''s just that the poison has not been cleansed, and that''s why I''m temporarily blind ¡­"


    "Let me try!" Su Xiruo didn''t say anything more. The purplish black Spiritual Strength congealed at the center of his palm and poured into Yun Qian''s body, attempting to cleanse the remaining poison in his body. Unexpectedly, the moment he made his move, it was completely different from what she had imagined.


    No matter how hard he tried, in the end, it was all in vain, and he had no choice but to give it up.


    Su Xiruo''s mood seemed to have dropped to the extreme in an instant. "If I knew earlier, even if I had to put my life on the line to go to Poison Sect, I would have tried to find the antidote for it!"


    Thinking to this point, she seemed to be unable to hold back any longer: "No, I''ll go and ask Jiang Lingye now for the antidote!"


    "Xiruo." Yun Qian grabbed onto her arm and pulled her into his embrace, saying gently, "Do you want me, me to go to the Poison Sect to save you again?"


    He scoffed and ridiculed, "If we do it again, I''m afraid... My life is at stake. If I really die, in the future ¡­ Who will help you destroy Poison Sovereign to vent your anger? "


    As he said that, Su Xiruo''s eyes became hot, as though he could not hold back his tears, and they started falling. The emotions that he had been suppressing for a long time, exploded out.


    In the next second, Yun Qian seemed to have sensed something and gently raised his hand, wanting to caress her cheeks, "Xiruo, are you crying? "I ¡­"


    For a moment, he didn''t know what to do. He was probably wondering if he had said something wrong.


    "I forbid you to say such things!" Su Xiruo interrupted him and said, "In this world, I no longer have any relatives. If you die, what is the point of me living in this world? "You better live well, otherwise, when you die, I''ll go find a better husband to anger you to death!"


    Yun Qian didn''t know whether to laugh or cry. With a doting tone, he said, "Alright, I won''t say such words in the future. My wife, don''t cry anymore. If you continue to cry, my heart will ache."


    He reached out his hands and slowly touched Su Xiruo''s face, wiping the tears off the corners of her eyes.


    Su Xiruo nodded lightly: "I''ll help you concoct the medicine, you rest up first."


    She did not say anything, and Yun Qian did not ask any more questions. At this moment, he could not see what kind of environment he was in, and the sounds coming from the outside became weaker and weaker.


    It had been two days since Yun Qian woke up. The dim light fell into the window and looked at the simple arrangement of the room. It was somewhat unfamiliar.


    Feeling that the injuries on his body had healed, he slowly stood up and heard the sound of the door opening. A wave of unfamiliar smell wafted over.


    Suddenly, Yun Qian became alert, the weapon beside the bed was unsheathed instantly and placed on Xiao Yu''s neck. With a speed that was fast as lightning, Xiao Yu was simply unable to react.


    "Young master, don''t misunderstand, I have no ill intentions." Xiao Yu hurriedly and calmly said these words, but cold sweat was about to pour out from his body.


    This seemingly weak man actually had such a strong Spiritual Strength pressure around his body, pressing down on him until he almost couldn''t breathe.


    If that blade of his was any closer, he probably wouldn''t be able to survive!


    Yun Qian glared at him coldly, but in the nick of time, he heard the sounds coming from inside the house. Su Xiruo quickly rushed in: "Yun Qian, stop, quickly."


    She quickly explained, "It was this big brother who took us in earlier."


    In the next second, Yun Qian retracted his weapon and said lightly, "I''m sorry."


    Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief, "It''s good as long as Young Master is safe."


    At this time, Chu Xinyue caught a whiff of the commotion and came in with her. Su Xiruo helped Yun Qian to sit down and placed the freshly fried medicine on the table, and asked in surprise: "Yun Qian, can you see me again?"


    "I can see it." Yun Qian had a better look at Xi Ruo, as if she wanted her to be at ease.


    It seemed like, only a small portion of the Dissolving Gu remained within Yun Qian''s body, which was why his eyes were constantly changing between good and bad.


    Even so, this could be considered as a troublesome matter. Thus, it was best for him to think of a solution as soon as possible.


    Then, Yun Qian asked her, "We are ¡­ is it in Midland? "


    "That''s right." Therefore, Su Xiruo used his eyes to signal Xiao Yu and Yue Shan, "Yun Qian, these two are Xiao Yu, Young Master Xiao, Chu Xinyue and Lady Chu. The two of you were in a coma two days ago, and people from the Poison Sect are still outside.


    Yun Qian glanced at the two of them and thanked them, "Thank you very much."


    He could already guess what was going on outside!


    That old thing Jiang Lingye, although he was severely injured and needed to go into seclusion to cultivate, he would definitely not let things rest. He must have sent people to seal the entire Midland, so, before that, they naturally could not leave either.


    However, since he had already woken up, he naturally wouldn''t let go of his Poison Sect!


    "It''s nothing." Chu Xinyue laughed, "Furthermore, Sister Cyril helped us solve our problem two days ago, we have no time to thank her."


    "Trouble?" Yun Qian looked at Su Xiruo weirdly, as if he was curious about this matter.


    "This matter is quite complicated." Su Xiruo turned to look at the couple and asked, "I wonder if you two are willing to let my husband know about this as well? My husband is also a mercenary. "


    Mercenary? Yun Qian hurriedly sized up the two of them. He seemed to feel somewhat surprised.


    As long as they occasionally received a few missions, they would basically be able to ensure that they would not have to worry about food or clothing. However, these two people''s clothes were simple and crude, and did not look like two mercenaries at all.


    The two of them naturally did not mind at all, "It''s not anything strange. It''s just that it''s embarrassing to say it out loud."


    After all, being permanently removed from the Mercenary Guild was an extremely shameful thing for a mercenary to do.


    Following that, Chu Xinyue truthfully told the truth: "Young master, I was originally a mercenary in the Sky Flame Mercenary Group, but my husband and I had always been targeted by the mercenaries, and after they found a sufficient excuse, they removed us from the list. Who would have known, that Huo Li would not even give us a peaceful time, and would still make things difficult for us!"

 C177

    Chu Xinyue explained the entire sequence of events once again, his face full of helplessness.


    "I have never seen that Huo Li before, but after seeing the person inside the Mercenary Group, I can tell what kind of rubbish he is." Su Xiruo coldly snorted, and then comforted them, "But don''t worry, as long as they dare to come again, they will watch!"


    Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, "Xinyue and I were originally also members of the Sky Flame Mercenary Group. In fact, we were truly unwilling to go against them, but they insisted on making things difficult for us, and it was one thing to cut off our future prospects. Now, we can''t even live a peaceful life anymore."


    After a long while, Yun Qian opened his mouth and said: "So, you actually still want to return to the Mercenary Guild."


    These words, seemed to have struck deep into Xiao Yu''s heart.


    That was a place that he had stayed in for nearly ten years, and had even treated Mercenary Group as his final resting place. How could he not want to return?


    "So what? There''s no chance left." Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, "I violated a taboo in Mercenary Guild, that was personally set by the chairman. Presumably, no one in the entire Mercenary Guild would dare to go against the president, so put me back?"


    Yun Qian lowered his gaze as he drank the medicine. Although he did not say anything, a peculiar glint flashed across his eyes.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo followed up: "This rule really does not conform to common sense. That chairman, he does not care about the matters of the Mercenary Guild all year round, and does not even know the situation of the Mercenary Guild.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" In the next second, Yun Qian choked on his soup and began to cough, seemingly a little guilty.


    "Yun Qian, what''s wrong?" Su Xiruo turned his head and asked with concern.


    Yun Qian calmly replied, "It''s nothing."


    Then, he began to speak unhurriedly, "Perhaps, there are some rules that he didn''t set himself, but rather, the elder of the guild ¡­ It was decided in the name of the guild leader. "


    "How did you know? Could it be that you know this Mercenary Guild Master?" Su Xiruo casually asked, feeling quite curious.


    She suddenly thought back to when they were at Mercenary Academy, even if Dean Lei saw Yun Qian, they would have to be courteous to him, so at that time, she had been thinking about what kind of identity Yun Qian had.


    "I don''t know him." Yun Qian''s tone was emotionless.


    Chu Xinyue laughed: "Then, the chairman of Mercenary Guild, I don''t think he has met many people, even the people inside the Mercenary Guild, I''m afraid not many would know them."


    Su Xiruo nodded his head slightly. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be right. In his heart, he was more curious about that mysterious guild leader.


    "Forget about it. Actually, we shouldn''t have told you all this. After all, this is our own matter. Saying it out loud is merely to vent." Chu Xinyue let out a small sigh, it was only for the sake of spitting out his thoughts, he did not have any intention of seeking help.


    However, Yun Qian opened his mouth and said, "Since you''ve saved me and Xi Ruo once, I will definitely return this favor to you in the future."


    "Young Master is too polite." Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, "Xin Yue and I have decided. After the limelight on Poison Sect has passed, we will leave the Midland, and since we can''t afford to offend them, we will avoid them."


    "Don''t you want to return to the Mercenary Group?" Yun Qian probed.


    In Xiao Yu''s eyes, there was suddenly a tinge of loss, which clearly revealed his thoughts.


    Yun Qian noticed something was amiss and took out a red jade pendant from the Storage Ring and handed it over to Xiao Yu.


    Xiao Yu was startled, he did not go to pick them up immediately: "Young Noble, this is?"


    "A keepsake." "Take this keepsake to the Mercenary Guild Headquarters and look for Xuan Qing, or Xuan Xing ¡­ He can let you, re-register as mercenaries. " Of the other names, he really had no impression of them.


    "Xuan Qing!" Xiao Yu was almost shocked by his words, "Then ¡­ That is the great protector of the Mercenary Guild headquarters! "


    The chairman barely showed his face in front of the crowd, so the head protector of the Mercenary Guild paid attention to the big and small matters of the Mercenary Guild, one could imagine how much power he had!


    All the Mercenary Group in the entire continent must obey Great Protector Xuan Qing''s orders! It could be said that his prestige was even higher than that of the chairman who did not know whether it was true or false!


    However, this Young Master actually told him to bring a "keepsake" to look for Great Protector Xuan Qing. Was he really eating the wrong medicine?


    If he went, would he be beaten to death?


    "Cough, cough ¡­" I don''t have any impression of any other name, I don''t remember. " Yun Qian''s tone was extremely casual.


    Xiao Yu looked around, and hurriedly lowered his voice, reminding him: "Sir, don''t speak nonsense, these Midland are all people from the Mercenary Guild, if they hear you call out the Great Protector''s name, it will be a capital offense!"


    This young master is truly worthy of being a couple with Lady Xiruo. He can even speak without fear.


    "No, then forget it." Seeing their faces filled with disbelief, Yun Qian decided to keep the jade pendant.


    At this time, the couple seemed to be moved and stopped his words, "Young Master, wait ¡­" You, are you sure that with just this token, you can make us re-register as mercenaries? "


    Indeed, after leaving the Sky Flame Mercenary Group, Xiao Yu was constantly thinking about returning, but even if he went back, he would never again enter the Sky Flame Mercenary Group!


    "Since Yun Qian has given it to you, you can accept it. Whether it''s true or false, we''ll know after we try it right?" Su Xiruo laughed, in his heart, he still quite trusted Yun Qian.


    She was certain in her heart that Yun Qian must be closely related to this Mercenary Guild.


    After hearing what Su Xiruo had said, Xiao Yu took the jade pendant and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Young Noble."


    "After a few days, the outside world will be more peaceful. You guys can go to the Mercenary Guild and try it out. Perhaps, it''s really as Yun Qian said, then the head protector will allow you to re-register as mercenaries." Su Xiruo suggested, as though he wanted to help them fulfill their wish as soon as possible.


    "If you can really return to Mercenary Group, this one will truly die with no regrets." Xiao Yu slightly sighed, his tone extremely serious.


    "Alright, let''s head out first. Let''s not disturb the young master''s rest any longer." Chu Xinyue tugged on Xiao Yu''s clothes, and then pulled Xiao Yu out with great eyes, "Sister Cyril, then we''ll go out first."


    The door closed softly, leaving only the two of them behind. The atmosphere was exceptionally quiet. It was a kind of silence that had never been felt before.


    "Yun Qian, have your injuries recovered?" Su Xiruo asked with concern, but he was still a bit worried.


    Even though Yun Che had been using the Spiritual Strength to treat his injuries, Yun Qian had still been in a coma for two days and two nights.


    "Much better." Yun Qian replied indifferently, "I''m afraid it has troubled my wife quite a bit these past few days."


    Not only did he have to avoid Poison Sect, he also had to treat his own injuries.


    "I''m fine with the trouble. Now that you''re out of danger, I can finally rest assured." Su Xiruo sighed slightly, "Yun Qian, after this period of separation, I finally understand what''s the most important thing now. So... I have already thought about it. After I kill the Poison Sovereign myself, I will find a place with no one to live in peace with you. "


    In this period of time, she had thought through many things. She probably felt that if she didn''t cherish what she had now, she would lose them again.


    Yun Qian chuckled and said, "You''ve already thought about it, but you haven''t even asked me if I''m willing."


    Su Xiruo deliberately refuted: "If you don''t want to, then so be it. I can only look for someone else to spend the rest of my life with."


    "No way!" Yun Qian interrupted her, her tone softening. "Of course I''m willing. As long as I can be with my wife, I''m willing to be anywhere."


    Su Xiruo''s face revealed a happy expression. She was quite happy when she found out that he was willing to live an ordinary life with her.

 C178

    Mercenary Academy.


    Su Biyue''s face was ashen and his body was covered with blood as he was locked up in his cell. He watched everything outside in despair, feeling both hatred and unwillingness.


    All of today was caused by Su Xiruo, but now, he was a cripple. He would never have the chance to take revenge!


    At this time, the cell door was suddenly opened. Two guards warned him: "Hurry up! You don''t have much time!"


    "Understood, thank you my lords." The one who came was Zhang Bingde, he saw Zhang Bingde taking out two silver ingots and giving it to the two jailers.


    The jailer received the silver and was quite satisfied with it. He went out and waited.


    Zhang Bingde slowly walked into the prison. He saw Su Biyue slowly raise his head and saw Zhang Bingde. It''s really you? "


    Slightly nodding his head, Zhang Bingde squatted down, and looked at the soulless appearance of the woman he loved. He couldn''t help but feel uncomfortable in his heart: "Bi Yue, are you alright?"


    Su Biyue coldly snorted, as if he was trying to vent all the anger and resentment in his heart. "Heh, aren''t you asking for it just because you know it? How good can I be in this dark place? "


    In a few days, when Dean Lei finds out about the matter regarding the Water Qilin, perhaps she will die!


    "Bi Yue, don''t be sad. The reason I''m here today is to save you from death." Zhang Bingde lowered his voice and said.


    Su Biyue had a face of disbelief: "What method do you have to save me?"


    He was just a small bodyguard, how could he possibly have the ability to rescue him?


    "If I disguise you as my appearance, then I''ll disguise myself as your appearance. There shouldn''t be a problem for me to deceive those prison wardens outside!" Zhang Bingde then voiced out his own idea, "Bi Yue, the only thing I can help you with is this. After you leave this Mercenary Academy, you should never return to this dangerous place ever again."


    "You ¡­" Hearing that, Su Biyue was slightly moved, "Then what will you do?"


    Zhang Bingde declined to comment on his words and smiled: "I''m only living a lowly life, it''s not worth it. To be able to exchange for your life, it''s already worth it.


    Su Biyue curled her fingers tightly. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she really didn''t want to let go of such a great opportunity to escape.


    Thus, without much hesitation, Su Biyue directly agreed: "Alright, Zhang Bingde, I will remember today''s favor. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely return it to you!"


    "No need. As long as you can think of me occasionally, I''m already very satisfied." Zhang Bingde didn''t have that much hope.


    Su Biyue sighed helplessly, thinking, what an infatuated child, what a pity, it was not the love of his heart, if Zhang Bingde was not a small bodyguard but instead had great authority, maybe, it was still possible for him and him to be together!


    It was a pity that she would never take another look at such an ordinary man!


    Thus, Zhang Bingde used a disguise technique to change the appearances of the two of them, and did not forget to remind them, "Bi Yue, this disguise technique can only be maintained for an hour, so, within an hour, you must leave the Mercenary Academy, do you understand?"


    "Yes." Seeing that he had already changed into Zhang Bingde''s appearance, Su Biyue also stood up without delay, looked at him and said, "Then I''ll be leaving first. See you later!"


    Since he only had an hour, then he definitely could not waste it. The only way was to leave the academy first, then he would have the chance to take revenge against Su Xiruo in the future!


    "We''ll meet again, Bi Yue." As Zhang Bingde watched her hastily leave, and saw that her senior brother didn''t even turn around to take another look at him, he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.


    However, he didn''t ask for too much. As long as Bi Yue was able to safely leave this place, even if he put his life on the line, it would still be worth it!


    Midland, was the largest Auction House in the entire nation. At this place, whatever Sixth Rank medicinal ingredients, as well as high-grade Spiritual Skill, were all commonplace things.


    When Su Xiruo was recuperating with his injuries, he lacked a single leaf that belonged to one of the Sixth Rank''s medicinal ingredients. After hearing about the great name from Xiao Yu, he came here alone, wanting to obtain it from the Auction House.


    In order to avoid anyone''s eyes and ears, Su Xiruo had covered her face and entered the Auction House. The guard could immediately feel that the woman''s strength was extraordinary, there was no path to block her, and she was allowed to enter.


    Su Xiruo couldn''t help but think, looks like without strength, it would be difficult to even take a single step in this Fine Star Continent. As long as one had sufficient strength, they would be able to walk unhindered no matter where they go.


    He had to quickly increase his strength and kill that old thief Jiang Lingye!


    After Su Xiruo entered the Auction House, a man immediately went up and asked her: "Miss, do you have any needs?"


    Suddenly, she turned her head and sized up the man. Five star Heavenly Spirit Master, should be the personnel of this Auction House.


    "I need a leaf." Su Xiruo explained his needs in a concise manner.


    The man slightly nodded his head, "Of course there is. However, we will have to wait for a few days. Is this young lady in a rush?"


    "That''s right."


    The man looked a little troubled as he replied, "Originally there was. However, after the auction just ended, the leaf was removed. Therefore, if young lady wants it, you still have to wait two to three days."


    "He was taken away, who was he taken away by?" Su Xiruo asked.


    The man answered truthfully, "Sky Flame Mercenary Group, five leaves, all of them were taken by Sky Flame Mercenary Group. The auction has just ended. Miss, if only you had come earlier, it would have been great!"


    Hearing this familiar name, Su Xiruo could only smile.


    This truly was a narrow path for enemies. Coincidentally, he had missed the chance to save her! However, since the auction had just ended, Sky Flame Mercenary Group, must not have gone far.


    Suddenly, a plan formed in Su Xiruo''s mind, he turned and said to the man: "If that''s the case, then I can only come back and ask again in a few days."


    "Alright, girl, take care!"


    Su Xiruo left the Auction House, just in time to see seven to eight mercenaries leaving as well. Because he had met them once at the Xiao Yu couple''s home, Su Xiruo recognized Lin Feng the last time he had taught him a lesson!


    Heh, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky today. Since I also need some good leaves, then I will ''act on behalf of the heavens'' this time!


    Thus, Su Xiruo followed them the entire way. When they finally left the Auction House and arrived at a deserted area devoid of people, Su Xiruo knew that this was the best time to make a move.


    The tip of Su Xiruo''s foot lightly landed on the ground, just in front of the eight people, her red dress fluttered, causing her graceful figure to be completely flawless, she covered her face, and slowly walked over.


    "Yo, where did this beauty come from?" When the black faced man at the front saw such a beauty, his eyes widened. "However, beauties usually don''t block the way. Follow me, big brother."


    Su Xiruo walked over, the corner of his lips slightly raised, as if he was smiling a little: "Then this big brother, could you hand over the large leaf I just obtained, to this little girl with your two hands?"


    Huo Li laughed, "As long as the beauty follows me back, everything is fine!"


    Seeing that Su Xiruo did not say anything, Huo Li reached out her hand, wanting to stop Su Xiruo''s snake body.


    That lithe and graceful figure of hers aroused Huo Li''s indecent heart, and he impatiently asked: "Beauty, what do you mean by this?"


    "I say, you don''t have any sincerity at all. If you want me to return with you, then you have to first take out the leaf to broaden my horizons, right?" Su Xiruo gently lifted his own hair and said unhurriedly.


    "It''s not difficult at all. Someone, come ¡­"


    "Captain, this isn''t good!" Behind him, Lin Feng was full of vigilance.

 C179

    "Cut the crap." Huo Li was too lazy to say anything to him, he had already lost his lust for it, and took out the box containing the large leaves himself, and laughed as he looked at Su Xiruo: "That beauty, if I let you see the leaves, you will also take off your mask and let big brother have a feast for his eyes, how about it?"


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, and did not reject: "Sure."


    "It''s a deal!" Huo Li immediately opened the box and saw the five leaves inside, perfectly intact.


    Su Xiruo glanced at the herbs in the box, confirming that it was real, then reached out and took the box from his hands. In the next second, Huo Li wanted to grab her hand.


    Su Xiruo''s hands were quick, he quickly took the box back, and fiercely and decisively slapped Huo Li''s face!


    "You ¡­ "What do you mean?" Huo Li covered his swollen face, as if he had been slapped awake by her slap.


    The mercenaries behind him all drew their weapons, ready to attack at any moment.


    "Good, you dare lie to me!" Huo Li was flustered and exasperated, "You beauty, you actually dared to eat a bear heart leopard, quickly return the medicinal ingredients to us!"


    Su Xiruo shook the box in his hand: "This leaf, I obtained it on my own ability, if you want it, you can just snatch it back using your own ability, what are you going to say about that?"


    "What big words you have there!" On the contrary, Lin Feng could not hold himself back anymore, the Spiritual Strength around his body surged, as he frantically sent a palm strike towards Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change, he struck head on against Lin Feng''s palm, using all his strength, he forced Lin Feng to retreat and spit out blood. In that instant, even Huo Li had not yet reacted!


    "This ¡­" The mercenaries behind her were in disbelief. This girl looked extremely weak, yet she was able to repel Lin Feng with her Spirit Monarch in one move?


    "Alright, I never thought that she would be a beauty with profound strength. Big Brother, right now, I''m even more curious about what you look like." Huo Li curled his fingers tightly, and after he finished speaking, the red Spiritual Strength had already flown over.


    Su Xiruo lightly retreated, dodging his berserk attack, but Huo Li still did not let him go. She circled around him, took off Su Xiruo''s mask, and revealed his peerlessly exquisite face.


    In that instant, Huo Li''s eyes almost popped out. He had probably never seen such a cold and beautiful woman before.


    Su Xiruo seized the opportunity and pushed Huo Li back with a palm strike, then turned around and disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    She did not have that much time to waste with Huo Li. If they really fought, the people from Poison Sect would not make up for it, so she decided to take back with her!


    "Captain, she ran away!" Lin Feng and the rest were extremely anxious.


    "Heh." Huo Li was flustered and exasperated. He had probably never thought that his own Four-star would actually allow a weak girl to escape from his hands, "I''ve already remembered that beauty''s looks. If I meet her again, I will definitely make her pay!"


    Inside the room, Yun Qian was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed as he rested. He could faintly feel a strong yet familiar force approaching him!


    He slowly opened his eyes and all the doors and windows in the room were opened. A wave of demonic wind blew into the room and then a light smoke appeared, turning into a middle-aged man. He appeared in front of Yun Qian and quickly put away the eight tails he had just revealed.


    In the next second, Yun Qian saw that everything outside the room had been frozen by the man in front of him.


    This was the strength of Expert of Spirit God!


    He unhurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Great Elder Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, may I know why you have come to visit? This is really rare. "


    The middle-aged man approached Yun Qian and carefully sized him up. The expression on his face was mixed with mixed feelings, as if he had seen his own kin. "Yun Qian, is it really you? You... "Sure enough, he''s still alive in this world."


    "The Great Elder seems to be very surprised?" Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, his tone carried a hint of ridicule. "Now, are you following Fox-Race Patriarch''s orders to kill me and eliminate the roots?"


    The Great Clan Elder helplessly sighed, he took a step forward, and knelt in front of Yun Qian, his tone sincere: "Second Imperial Prince!"


    Yun Qian was not the least bit moved as he replied with a cold expression, "I am not the Second Prince anymore. I''m afraid I cannot accept the title of First Elder."


    "Second Prince." However, all those years, Empress has always lived in guilt. Even if the Second Prince is unwilling to return to the Fox Clan, at least, he should at least return and take a look at the Empress. "


    "Grand Elder." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly, revealing an incomparably cold curve. His words carried a sense of distance, "There are many things that can''t be diluted with time, I already have nothing to do with Fox Clan anymore. Great Elder, please go back."


    Towards this Great Elder, he could still speak calmly. After all, in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan before, Great Elder could be considered the only one who truly loved and doted on him.


    But now, they were destined to not be the same people, and in the future, they would no longer have any sort of interaction with each other. The pain from eight years ago was something he would never forget!


    The Great Elder sighed helplessly. In truth, he could understand the Second Prince''s feelings, "Yun Qian, this old man has watched you grow up, and the guilt you''ve felt over all these years was no less than the Queen''s. I hated myself for not being able to save you, and now, you''re giving this old man and the Queen a chance to atone for their deeds.


    Seeing Yun Qian not say anything, the Great Elder became anxious, "Second Highness, if you really think that you can''t get over the matter from eight years ago, even if you kill this old man, this old man will accept it! Second Prince, I''m begging you, follow me back to Empress! "


    Yun Qian smiled bitterly. His black eyes had too many complex emotions mixed within, "Let bygones be bygones. I do not have any intention of returning to the Fox Clan. From today onwards, I only want to be an ordinary person.


    To him, Fox Clan was a barrier that he could not pass through in the end. All of the injuries he received were not something that could disappear with just a single apology. He no longer wanted to participate in the dispute over divine Orc Clan; he had already promised Xiruo that he would only live a peaceful and ordinary life with her in the future.


    "There''s more." Yun Qian added, "For today''s matters, I hope that Great Elder will not tell the Queen and the First Prince. Now, we will each live a peaceful life and not disturb each other. Doing this is good for everyone."


    "Second Prince, it looks like... You still can''t let go of what happened that year. " The Great Elder helplessly sighed, knowing that he wouldn''t be able to say anything.


    The bones in Yun Qian''s fingers curled tightly and her emotions fluctuated slightly, "At that time, it was your Fox Clan that abandoned me! Now you''re begging me to go back? "Great Elder, everyone has their dignity. Could it be that in your eyes, I am so lowly that I will let you call me away and let me go?"


    The Great Elder shook his head, not knowing what to say.


    "Second Prince ¡­"


    "No need to say anymore." "First Elder, I still respect you in my heart. I hope that First Elder will respect me and treat it as if I have never seen him today. In the future, we will not have any interaction anymore."


    It was obvious that the order to expel the guest had been given. However, to Yun Qian, this was already considered extremely courteous.


    Eight years ago, when he was thirteen years old and had been sacrificed to his brothers and sisters by his own parents and abandoned by the Fox Clan and almost lost his life, he was saved by the General''S Estate and lived to this day.


    This was because his talent was inferior to his elder brother''s. From the moment he was born, he had to abide by the clan rules and was destined to sacrifice to his elder brother!


    Therefore, to him, Fox Clan was no longer some sort of home, it was only a strange and ice-cold place! There was no sense of belonging, nor was there any so-called kinship!


    "Second Prince, it''s my fault for offending you today. In the future, I won''t disturb you any longer." After a long time, the Great Elder finally expressed his respect.


    Yun Qian did not say anything as he watched the grand elder disappear from his sight with a cold expression. He was slightly lost in thought as his thoughts were pulled back into the pain of eight years ago.

 C180

    The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was located at a place that was even further west than the Dragon Seal Empire. It was very spacious and gave off a bit of the feeling of a fairyland.


    The first elder had just returned when a blue shadow appeared in front of him, turning into a handsome man in blue. The handsome man in blue turned into a blue shadow, and when the first elder returned, a blue shadow appeared in front of him, turning into a handsome man in blue.


    The Great Clan Elder was stunned for a moment, and did his best to remain calm. "First Prince, this old man was ordered by the Queen to go out and settle some matters."


    "What is it, do you have to run to the Humans?" First Prince''s eyes were filled with questioning and malice, "Don''t hide this from this noble one. If this noble one finds out the truth ¡­"


    "First Prince is too serious, this old man is really just going out to settle some matters." The Great Elder did not speak the truth.


    Because he knew in his heart that with the cruel personality of the First Prince, if he knew that his little brother was still alive and also had the strength of Spirit God, he would probably think of ways to eliminate Yun Qian at his roots!


    In the First Prince''s heart, anything and everyone that hindered him must be eliminated!


    "Grand Elder." The man stared at the Great Clan Elder coldly, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "You are the elder of this Fox Clan, what should be done, and what should not be done, even if this noble one does not say anything, you should know, today I, Senior Japan, will kindly remind you, if there is a next time, do not blame me for being rude to you!"


    In his heart, he probably knew a bit about this matter.


    Thus, the Great Elder could only agree, "Yes."


    After the Grand Elder left, the man''s expression became even gloomier. He didn''t expect that he was still alive!


    This was a huge threat to him!


    A protector came forward: "First Prince, do you want to investigate the Second Highness?"


    The man glared at him coldly. With a palm strike, he sent the protector flying. He spat out blood. "First Prince ¡­"


    "Bastard, how could there be a second prince?" The man cursed angrily, his mood agitated.


    The protector lowered his head and hurriedly said in an obedient voice: "Yes, First Prince is right. That Helian Yunqian simply doesn''t have the qualifications to compete with First Prince for the position of Fox-Race Patriarch!"


    "This sovereign is only afraid of him. He''s already harbored evil intentions!" The man slightly frowned, he was still a little worried in his heart, "Send someone to investigate secretly, remember any news about Helian Yunqian, investigate it clearly for this sovereign!"


    "Yes, this subordinate will do it right away!"


    The protector turned into a Red Fox and disappeared from First Prince''s line of sight.


    He originally thought that his brother brother would have died eight years ago. Unexpectedly, he still lived to this day, and after being sacrificed once, his current strength had actually reached the level of Spirit God!


    To him, such an opponent was too much of a threat. He had to get rid of him as soon as possible!


    Mercenary Guild Headquarters.


    Xiao Yu and Chu Xinyue had brought the keepsake Yun Qian gave them, but from the beginning to the end, they had only come here with the intention of giving it a try, but they had never really thought that relying on this simple keepsake would be enough to re-register a mercenary.


    When the guard saw the token, a surprised expression appeared on his face and his attitude toward the two of them instantly became respectful.


    "The two of you, please wait a moment. The head protector is not here today, I will call the Second Protector over."


    "Sigh ¡­" Just as Chu Xinyue wanted to call out to him, the guard had already left. He was immediately overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, "This, there''s no need to let the Second Protector receive you personally!"


    To be able to be personally received by the two Protectors, basically all of them were leaders or elders of the various empires'' Mercenary Guild branch masters. It was truly hard for people to understand why they would suddenly come to receive them.


    "What''s going on?" Xiao Yu was also confused.


    After a while, a handsome man rushed over and smiled at the two of them, "Esteemed guests, Xuan Xing has come late. Sorry."


    Xuan Xing! The authority of the s in the entire Mercenary Guild could be said to be among the top.


    And now, Second Protector was standing right in front of them, talking to them in such a polite tone.


    The two of them hurriedly bowed: "Greetings Second Protector."


    "May I know the reason why you two have come to the Mercenary Guild?" Xuan Xing asked politely. He clenched the scarlet jade pendant in his hand, slightly excited in his heart.


    This was the guild leader''s keepsake. No matter what, he had to do it properly!


    "It''s like this." Chu Xinyue then explained to him, "Previously, my husband and I were mercenaries under the Sky Flame Mercenary Group, but because we broke the rules and secretly released spirit beasts during missions, we were struck off the list permanently. But my husband already knows that he was wrong.


    Xuan Xing immediately beamed. "I thought it was something important, but it''s only something important, no problem!"


    Without any hesitation, Xuan Xing agreed, he turned around and instructed the mercenaries: "Go and register the mercenaries for these two esteemed guests!"


    "Second Protector, you ¡­ "You''ve agreed to it?" Xiao Yu seemed to not have reacted at all, he did not expect the Second Protector to be so easy to talk to, and agreed immediately.


    "Since you were asked by your benefactor, how could Xuan Xing not agree." Xuan Xing laughed, thinking, how could he dare not agree to the President''s orders!


    The couple looked at each other, seemingly still in a daze. They probably felt that this matter was too easy!


    "Alright, esteemed guests, Xuan Xing still has some matters to attend to, so he will not be accompanying the two esteemed guests. From today onwards, the two of you will be mercenaries with Mercenary Guild." After Xuan Xing quickly finished his instructions, it seemed that he had something even more important to do.


    "Looks like that young master is a noble person from the Mercenary Guild." Xiao Yu could not help but sigh, feeling extremely astonished, "Previously, I really could not see with my own eyes."


    Chu Xinyue smiled, "Alright, husband, at least now, we have returned to the Mercenary Guild."


    "Yes." After fulfilling his big wish, Xiao Yu was still quite happy in his heart.


    On the streets of the city, people from Poison Sect were patrolling back and forth, purposely avoiding those from the Mercenary Group along the way.


    At this time, a group of mercenaries came over and blocked off the path of the Poison Sect disciples.


    The leading Poison Sect disciple opened his mouth and said in an extremely displeased tone: "Our Poison Sect has not offended your Mercenary Guild.


    "You didn''t offend him?" The leading mercenary snorted, and ordered people to bring out a few corpses of the mercenaries, and placed them in front of the Poison Sect disciples.


    The mercenaries died miserably, their lips were pitch black, and their faces were pale as if they were poisoned. Just one look was enough to tell that this was a method to kill someone using Poison Sect!


    The Poison Sect disciple took a step back: "What do you mean by this? It was your Mercenary Guild that first obstructed us in our business! "


    Indeed, in the process of searching, they had also killed a few eyesore mercenaries, but only because the mercenaries obstructed their search did they have no choice but to act.


    If they did not have to, they would naturally not be willing to offend Mercenary Guild.


    "We are not obstructing you, we are merely maintaining order. I did not expect your Poison Sect to kill us, it is truly brutal!" The leader of the mercenaries said with an unrelenting attitude, "This matter, my Mercenary Guild will definitely pursue it to the end!"


    That Poison Sect disciple was clearly a little impatient: "We still have something important to take care of, so we don''t have the time to bother you guys. If you know what''s good for you, then quickly get out of the way.


    "I''ve already said it. If we don''t explain this matter clearly, our Mercenary Guild will definitely pursue this matter to the end and we won''t rest until we do!" The attitude of the Mercenary Group was already very clear.


    "Heh, alright. It was you who refused the toast first, don''t blame us for this!" With that said, the Poison Sect disciples all pulled out their weapons one by one, and the two of them fell into a stalemate, and then, they began to fight!

 C181

    As soon as Su Xiruo returned to the Xiao family, he noticed that the atmosphere outside was a little strange. It seemed that the number of Poison Sect disciples he was searching for outside was more than twice as many as usual.


    As soon as she entered the door, Yun Qian immediately pulled on her arm: "Xiruo, this place should have already been exposed to Poison Sect''s spies. We''ll leave right now!"


    "Alright." Su Xiruo did not know why he was suddenly exposed, but he did not think much about it, and allowed him to hold his hand. Seeing that he was about to leave through the main entrance, he could not help but remind him, "Yun Qian, isn''t it too easy to be exposed when we go out through the main entrance?"


    "It''s fine. Follow me." Yun Qian seemed to have already guessed it in his heart, because the moment he stepped out of the door, he immediately attracted the attention of the Poison Sect disciples.


    "They''re over there! Chase them!"


    "Quickly chase ¡­"


    "Quickly inform the two protectors and the lord of the altar that they''ve found him!"


    Those Poison Sect disciples were all flustered and flustered. Half of them went to inform the others, and the other half chased after them.


    Along the way, Yun Qian only took care of a few disciples that were chasing him. The rest of the disciples acted as if they didn''t see him and just let them chase after him, leading Xi Ruo around.


    "Yun Qian, if we keep on wasting time like this, after a while ¡­" I''m afraid there will be more of them. " Su Xiruo looked at the Poison Sect disciples who were hot on his heels, and felt a bit of worry in his heart.


    Could it be that Yun Qian was doing this on purpose, deliberately luring most of the disciples to one place, and then capturing them all in one go?


    Yun Qian and she looked at each other and smiled, but didn''t say anything. Su Xiruo knew that Yun Qian should be more or less the same as her guess.


    "But ¡­" Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, still feeling that this method was a little risky, "Your injuries have yet to recover, and the two protectors of Poison Sect are both at the strength of a five star Spirit Sovereign. If too many people come at once, we might not be able to deal with them."


    "Don''t worry, we won''t do anything." Yun Qian seemed to have already made full preparations, as he grabbed Su Xiruo''s slender waist, and raised his hand to instantly take care of the Poison Sect disciples behind her.


    You don''t need to do it yourself? Su Xiruo still didn''t really understand what he meant. Seeing that they were about to reach the Mercenary Guild Headquarters, the number of Poison Sect disciples chasing after them became more and more.


    Yun Qian hugged Su Xiruo and hid himself in a secluded corner. Not long later, he heard the sound of weapons clashing behind him.


    Su Xiruo carefully looked out, only to see that the Poison Sect disciples had been ambushed by the Mercenary Group, all of them looked caught unprepared, and were not prepared at all.


    Heh, no wonder. To barge into the Mercenary Guild realm in such a grand battle formation, and even hold onto weapons, with such an aggressive look, it would be strange if they weren''t being attacked!


    "Yun Qian, looks like we really don''t need to do it ourselves this time around." Su Xiruo slightly heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been relieved from a heavy burden, "However, I''m afraid that the Mercenary Guild will also become involved with the Poison Sect from now on."


    Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, "Poison Sect has been acting very arrogantly recently, causing Midland to become restless. Not only Mercenary Guild, but the other two forces have probably disliked Poison Sect a long time ago as well."


    Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. The other three forces of the Midland were not weaker than the Poison Sect themselves, so how could they possibly remain indifferent when they saw that the Poison Sect was a threat to their own interests?


    Looks like life in the Poison Sect will not be so easy in the future. Just today alone, I''m afraid I''ll have to lose many people!


    At this time, a familiar and arrogant voice suddenly sounded beside their ears: "Who are you, to dare trespass into this Mercenary Guild realm!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head to see that it was someone from the Sky Flame Mercenary Group. When Huo Li saw her, he opened his eyes wide and pointed at her. It''s you! "


    He recognized Su Xiruo as the beauty who tricked him to take away his medicinal ingredients previously. He never thought that his enemies would meet again so soon!


    Su Xiruo slightly raised his cold eyes, and ridiculed: "What, did you feel very surprised to see me?"


    "The last time you tried to trick me into taking away my medicinal ingredients, this matter isn''t over yet." Huo Li coldly snorted, probably thinking that he had seized this opportunity himself. "If you had obediently apologized to big brother and showed me your attitude, perhaps big brother would have forgiven you!"


    "Apologize?" Su Xiruo smiled, he did not take his words to heart, "Then I am sorry, I have never had the habit of apologizing."


    Lin Feng''s fingers were curled tightly, and he was a bit angry: "Boss, this girl doesn''t want to drink, she doesn''t want to drink, so let''s not waste words with her. Only by being tough will this girl be obedient!"


    Huo Li''s eyes revealed a deep and vulgar smile.


    The disgust and killing intent in his eyes were self-evident, only to see him expressionlessly stepping forward, just in time to stand in front of Su Xiruo, planning to directly settle this problem, but was also curious, just what kind of Mercenary Group was this.


    Thus, for a time, he didn''t make a move.


    "Yo, why is there a pretty boy here!" Huo Li sarcastically said, "Don''t block our way, you will not end up well if you go against us!"


    Seeing that Yun Qian was still indifferent, Huo Li became even more impatient. "Alright, since you, this little white face, do not know what''s good for you, then big brother will have to deal with you together!"


    With that said, Huo Li took out his weapon, the berserk Spiritual Strength spewed out, before the weapon could even be unleashed, it was shot down to the ground by the force from behind.


    "How dare you!" Xuan Xing''s clear and cold voice came from behind him, he led a group of mercenaries with him as he came forward, and scolded loudly, "Huo Li, you have so much guts, to actually dare say such rude words to the President!"


    "Guild leader?" In the next second, Huo Li''s eyeballs popped out. He glanced at Yun Qian, and seemed to never have thought that this pretty boy was the chief of the Mercenary Guild!


    Following that, Xuan Xing and the few elite mercenaries behind him knelt in front of Yun Qian: "This subordinate came late to save you, please punish me, President."


    If even this Second Protector with Mercenary Guild was kneeling in front of him, then it looked like this pretty boy really was the guild leader!


    "Yun Qian, you ¡­" Not only Huo Li and the others, even Su Xiruo was shocked.


    Originally, she had still been wondering just who Yun Qian was with the Mercenary Academy, but no matter how hard she tried, she did not expect that he would actually be that elusive and mysterious chief!


    "Xuan Xing." Yun Qian said indifferently, his voice wasn''t loud, but his aura was extremely imposing, "Your ability to govern seems to be lacking a little, even this kind of Mercenary Group is able to allow it to exist within your Midland."


    The slightly accusatory tone slightly startled Xuan Xing, and he promptly replied: "It''s this subordinate who has failed in his duty to do so, this subordinate will take care of it right now!"


    Finished speaking, Xuan Xing turned around and ordered the mercenaries behind him: "A bunch of useless trash. Hurry up and get rid of them, clear out Sky Flame''s Mercenary Group, and never ever register as a mercenary again!"


    What a sin! The President''s eyes were filled with filth, but now, this sort of filth had actually tarnished the President''s eyes!


    "Yes sir!"


    At this time, Huo Li hurriedly begged for mercy, "Second Protector, this humble one really doesn''t know any better. I have already realized my wrongs, I beg Second Protector to forgive me ¡­ "Guild leader, you''re not going easy on us!"


    "You all are too bold to go against the guild leader. There is no room for negotiation on this matter!" There was no doubt about Xuan Xing''s cold tone.


    Huo Li slightly sighed, clearly not convinced, "Second Protector, our Sky Flame Mercenary Group is the Mercenary Group under the Great Clan Elder. Even if you want to deal with it, you have to first get the approval of the Great Clan Elder, right?"


    These words seemed to instantly ignite Xuan Xing''s anger, his eyes formed into an extremely dangerous arc, "What, as a Second Protector of the Mercenary Guild, do I not have the authority to punish a puny Mercenary Group?"


    Huo Li lowered his head: "This humble one dare not, it''s just that I think that Second Protector should first ask Great Clan Elder about this matter, and let Great Clan Elder handle it personally!"

 C182

    Although Huo Li''s tone was respectful, his words expressed his unwillingness to accept it, as if telling Xuan Xing, you do not have the qualifications to punish us, so it should be the Great Clan Elder''s decision!


    "He''s simply spouting nonsense!" Xuan Xing curled his fingers tightly, he was extremely furious.


    At this time, Yun Qian seemed to be unable to continue watching, a powerful surge of white Spiritual Strength sealed Huo Li''s body in mid air, causing him to be unable to move at all.


    "Guild Leader, you ¡­"


    "He''s not qualified to punish you. What about me?" Yun Qian''s tone was as cold as ice and frost, like numerous sharp blades that could cut a person into a thousand pieces.


    Immediately, Huo Li was scared to the point that cold sweat broke out. He could sense that this pretty boy, who looked extremely weak but was extremely powerful, was so strong that he didn''t even have the strength to retaliate.


    "Guild leader, have mercy! Guild leader, have mercy!" Before Huo Li could finish his words, his body was instantly crushed by Yun Qian''s violent Spiritual Strength, and he instantly turned into nothingness, not even ashes remained!


    As for Yun Qian''s other hand, it just so happened that she could cover Su Xiruo''s eyes, not wanting her to see her cold-blooded and brutal side.


    Fear filled the hearts of every mercenary as they kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy. Their bodies trembled, "President, please spare us! Please spare us!"


    Even Huo Li, a Four-star cultivator, could be instantly killed by the president, let alone them who didn''t even have a corpse.


    They never would have thought that their luck would be so bad. They originally wanted to take revenge, but they never would have thought that they would fall into the hands of their guild leader.


    Xuan Xing turned his head, his eyes signalling for his subordinates, all of them took action, upon seeing Xue Feng throat, all the other mercenaries were killed.


    This kind of Mercenary Group, should not exist in the first place.


    Immediately, Xuan Xing seemed to exude a proud air, "President, this subordinate has been wanting to take action since long ago when the Sky Flame Mercenary Group has committed such evil deeds. Today, I''ve finally gotten such a good opportunity!"


    "What, you, a dignified Second Protector of Mercenary Guild, can''t even handle a single Mercenary Group?" Yun Qian, on the other hand, had doubts in his heart and felt that the Heaven Flame Mercenary Group was definitely not right.


    Xuan Xing sighed helplessly. "President, you might not know this, but now that the Great Clan Elder is secretly cultivating his own strength, no one can do anything to him in the entire Mercenary Guild. Now, he is becoming more and more arrogant."


    However, since the guild leader had returned, they were no longer worried.


    When Yun Qian heard this, he said thoughtfully, "It seems that someone is starting to get restless."


    "President, now that you''re back, that Great Elder won''t be able to act arrogantly!" Xuan Xing smiled. In his heart, he was very confident in the president.


    At this time, Xuan Qing came over from the side and knelt down as well: "Reporting to the President, we have already captured all the people from Poison Sect. We will listen to the arrangements of the President as to how we should handle them."


    "Kill those who deserve to die, capture those who need to be captured, don''t leave a single one alive!" Yun Qian''s tone was cold. He did not delay in the slightest.


    "Yun Qian, don''t tell me that you have long planned to capture all of the Poison Sect''s people in one fell swoop?" Suddenly, Su Xiruo seemed to have guessed something.


    Yun Qian looked at Xiruo and his expression immediately softened. He gently said, "That''s right."


    Ever since he had woken up, he had already secretly contacted Xuan Qing. The reason why he did not immediately let his Mercenary Guild take action, was because he still lacked a reasonable excuse.


    As a result, Xuan Qing did not immediately take action, but rather, allowed the people from the Poison Sect to rampage about in all directions. Not only did he arouse the dissatisfaction of the Mercenary Guild, the other two forces also began to get restless, dissatisfied with the Poison Sect.


    When the conflict had reached its peak, Yun Qian had also planned to lure all the Poison Sect disciples to the same place, and use the reason of the Poison Sect''s violation of the Mercenary Guild as a reason, to directly catch them all in one fell swoop!


    In that case, it would completely make sense, and the other two forces wouldn''t feel that Mercenary Guild was just randomly stirring up trouble. Instead, they would think that Poison Sect was the first to stir up trouble, and Mercenary Guild was only acting in self-defense.


    After thinking it through, Su Xiruo couldn''t help but admire this man from the bottom of his heart. He was actually so calm, and so meticulous in his thoughts.


    As for the Mercenary Guild, they would not be displeased by the other two forces because of this.


    "Xiruo, I couldn''t tell you in advance, I''m very sorry." Yun Qian saw the astonishment on her face and quickly apologized, afraid that she would be angered.


    Su Xiruo let out a light sigh, as if he had not fully recovered from his shock. "Forget it, it''s good that you''re fine."


    He did not know why, but all of a sudden his heart felt a little disappointed. He had not accepted it yet, and Yun Qian was this fact that the Mercenary Guild head of the Main Hall was talking about.


    However, she did not say much, nor could she say much.


    Thus, Su Xiruo followed Yun Qian, entering the grand and imposing Mercenary Guild Headquarters. The Poison Sect disciples were all killed, grabbed onto, and were about to lose everything.


    In the Mercenary Guild Great Hall, Protector Lei and Protector Ye had their eyes and ears covered as they were tied up and escorted up.


    Yun Qian sat in the main seat, extended his hand, and pulled Su Xiruo''s small hand, indicating for her to sit beside him. Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing stood by his side, waiting for Yun Qian to speak.


    Seeing Han Ye, Su Xiruo couldn''t help but slightly furrow his brows, probably because he felt some sympathy for him.


    "Xiruo, you decide how to handle these two people." Yun Qian calmly asked for her opinion.


    Protector Lei and Protector Ye however, their eyes and ears were covered, they could not see anything, could not hear anything, and could only curse loudly, "I never thought that Mercenary Guild would actually use such a despicable and shameless method!"


    "If you have the guts, then release us. With this method, aren''t you afraid of being shamed?"


    "Xuan Xing, cover their mouths as well." Yun Qian could only hear the racket in his ears as he gave the order casually.


    These two people were still restless after being captured.


    "Yes." Xuan Xing then ordered the mercenaries by his side to cover the mouths of the two people, only letting out a faint "wu wu" sound.


    Yun Qian turned his head, seeing Su Xiruo''s strange expression, he asked: "Xiruo, what''s wrong with you?"


    "Yun Qian, Protector Lei, if you want to kill him, then kill him. Let him go." Su Xiruo stretched out his hand and lightly pointed at Han Ye, as if he didn''t want to kill Han Ye directly.


    After all, Han Ye had helped him many times and had even saved his life once. This time, he would repay him with a favor.


    "Why?" Yun Qian did not understand.


    "A few days ago, when we were being chased by the Poison Sect and had nowhere to go, Han Ye saved us once. So, I want to return this favor to him." Su Xiruo then explained to him honestly, "Is that possible?"


    Xuan Qing frowned slightly, "President, this Protector Ye also possesses the strength of a Spirit Sovereign.


    Unexpectedly, Yun Qian was stunned for a moment before he immediately agreed. With a gentle tone, he said, "Alright, everything will be decided by my wife."


    Since Xi Ruo had said so, he naturally wouldn''t break his promise whether she was right or not.


    Then, he ordered coldly: "Xuan Qing, let them go."


    Xuan Qing waved his hand and ordered, "Bring Enforcer Ye outside of Mercenary Guild and release him immediately!"


    "Yes sir!"


    This cold night did not pose much of a threat to him.


    "What are you doing? Let me go! " Han Ye was escorted out of the Profound Sky Continent without knowing what happened. In the blink of an eye, he had already been thrown outside the Mercenary Guild.


    The shackles on Han Ye''s body had been completely released. It was as if he did not know anything as he looked at the Mercenary Guild in front of him. Just what had happened?


    Where''s Protector Lei? Why is it that when I was the only one left, he had so many Poison Sect disciples all died a violent death?


    He looked behind him again. Outside the Mercenary Guild, the corpses of the Poison Sect disciples had already piled up into a mountain. They looked extremely hideous, and hatred couldn''t help but arise from the bottom of his heart.


    "Since today is the day you let me leave, then one day, I will definitely flatten this Mercenary Guild and take revenge for my Poison Sect disciple!"


    He swore to himself that as long as he was alive, he would take revenge!

 C183

    Mercenary Guild Headquarters, Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    In the entire Inner Palace, only Yun Qian and Su Xiruo were left. Su Xiruo sat in his original spot for a long time, not knowing what to say.


    "Xiruo." Finally, it was Yun Qian who opened his mouth first, "Are you angry? Do you think I''m hiding my identity from you?"


    "You really hid it well." Su Xiruo shook his head, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    She had been guessing this entire time, and was curious in her heart as to who the mysterious Mercenary Guild Master was. Who knew, he was actually the person she had spent all this time with?


    "I''m sorry, Xiruo. Because this matter involves so many people, before, I didn''t know how to bring it up with you. I might as well not tell you." Yun Qian still had some concerns in his heart.


    Speaking of which, his own identity was really too complicated. If Xixi knew all of the truth, who knew if she would be drawn into these unprovoked disputes.


    "Forget it. Seeing that your attitude is sincere, I''ll forgive you this time." Su Xiruo let out a helpless sigh. He understood in his heart that this was not a malicious act of concealment, so he wasn''t too angry.


    After all, he had been too slow to guess anything.


    "This time, my Poison Sect has suffered greatly, and in a short period of time, I won''t be able to create any big waves." Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, "When the time is ripe, we will seize all of our Poison Sect in one go."


    After all, Poison Sect could be considered a great power within the Midland region. Other than Jiang Lingye, there were also two other elders who were guarding the place with great strength.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, thinking, I have to quickly raise my strength, only then will I be able to personally kill Poison Sovereign!


    Then, she opened her mouth and said: "This is the Healing Drug that I just fried, drink it while it''s still hot."


    However, Yun Qian wanted to keep him in suspense. With a slightly arrogant tone, he said, "My wife, feed it to me personally, and I will drink it."


    "But, you have hands and feet, so I don''t need to feed them, right?" Su Xiruo slightly frowned, slightly dissatisfied.


    "If my wife is unwilling to feed me, then I won''t drink it." Yun Qian''s face revealed a proud and lovely expression. Compared to his cold and vicious appearance in the large hall earlier, he was like a completely different person.


    "It''s not good for you to do this."


    "No, I want my wife."


    Just then, Xuan Qing had just walked out of the door, and unintentionally heard the conversation from behind. His expression immediately changed, and it became slightly awkward, as he was originally here to report to the President about the recent developments in Mercenary Guild, but at this moment, he actually did not know whether or not he should enter.


    Normally, the president didn''t smile, but his face would often turn cold and his words were gentle like gold. This was the first time he heard the president speak in such a manner. Not only was it not cold, it even carried a hint of arrogance.


    Xuan Qing even suspected that the one in the hall, was the president himself.


    Xuan Qing turned around, planning to return later. Unexpectedly, a mercenary beside him who had a dirty mouth suddenly spoke: "Chief Protector, why aren''t you going in?"


    These words were immediately heard by Yun Qian, and Xuan Qing shot a vicious look at the smug mercenary. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "President, can this subordinate come in?"


    "Come in." Yun Qian''s tone was cold again.


    Xuan Qing then pushed open the door and entered, seeing Su Xiruo putting down the medicine bowl, he seemed to be thinking, about the conversation she had with Yun Qian, could it be that Xuan Qing had heard all of it?


    This fellow, in front of his subordinates, had started to get serious.


    "Guild leader." Realizing that something was amiss, Xuan Qing immediately admitted his mistake tactfully, "This subordinate did not intend to eavesdrop on your conversation with Miss Su."


    "Chief Protector, you should report the situation directly." Yun Qian interrupted him and asked indifferently.


    "Yes." Once he found a step, Xuan Qing immediately changed the topic and began to report the general situation of the Mercenary Guild over the past year. Yun Qian had a carefree look on his face, but he had actually listened to every word that was said seriously.


    After reporting everything, Xuan Qing added, "President, the work that Xuan Xing, the Second Elder and I do is normal. It''s just that other than the Great Clan Elder''s side, everything else may be normal."


    "Recently, this Mercenary Guild doesn''t seem to be peaceful." When Yun Qian entered the headquarters today, he discovered that something was amiss.


    His previous Mercenary Guild had been peaceful in all four directions, but this time, the feeling was completely different. He could faintly feel that there were differences within the Mercenary Guild, and all of this could have been caused by the Great Elder!


    "That''s right." "When you were not around, Great Clan Elder Chu Lin had secretly started to build up your own Mercenary Group. Before you left, you had clearly said that the life and death authority in Mercenary Guild headquarters would all be given to your subordinates, but the Mercenary Group under Great Clan Elder''s command, it''s fine if you don''t listen, but the Great Clan Elder had even encouraged the Mercenary Group to be tyrannical, and had even secretly cooperated with the Poison Sect!"


    After hearing this, Yun Qian''s eyes darkened a little, and Xuan Qing continued to add: "Not only that, most of the Mercenary Group under Chu Lin''s command are new mercenaries, Chu Lin discredit you in front of those new mercenaries all day, saying that you do not have any real power, thus, after a long period of time, those mercenaries listened to Chu Lin''s words, and although Xuan Xing and I have tried to clean up many times, we were always stopped by Chu Lin, and he even said that without his order, no one is allowed to touch his people, including you!"


    "Looks like this Chu Lin is extremely ambitious. He wants to get the position of the guild leader." Su Xiruo also more or less understood what Xuan Qing was saying, and he was a little displeased in his heart.


    He was simply too arrogant. He didn''t even put this guild leader in his eyes!


    "Call him over." Yun Qian did not say much. He only planned to call Chu Lin over and personally interrogate him.


    "Yes." Xuan Qing immediately turned around and called for her.


    "Yun Qian, from what I see, that Chu Lin should have gathered many forces in his hands. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be so arrogant." Su Xiruo frowned slightly, probably thinking that this matter was still a little troublesome, "How do you plan to settle this?"


    Yun Qian replied without a change in expression, "I will naturally do as I please."


    There was nothing special about it, and just because he had some power, he would not be afraid of it. Yun Qian''s personality had always been like this.


    After waiting for a long time, Chu Lin finally brought Chu Lin here. Dressed in a black robe, some unwillingness hung on his face, he had probably already guessed what the president wanted to tell him.


    Presumably, Xuan Qing spent a great deal of effort to call Chu Lin over.


    "Guild leader." Chu Lin lowered his body and bowed towards Yun Qian, his tone relatively respectful, "I wonder what business you have in calling this old man here?"


    "I have not returned for a long time, naturally it is to let you report the current situation of the Mercenary Guild." Yun Qian''s tone was indifferent, without any emotion in it.


    "Yes." Just as Chu Lin was about to speak, his gaze landed on Su Xiruo, "But, President, this old man will report the situation to you, do we need to avoid this outsider?"


    Su Xiruo knew that she was the outsider that Chu Lin was talking about, and was slightly unhappy. He was about to retort, but Xuan Qing opened her mouth first: "Great Clan Elder, this is our President''s wife, she can''t be considered an outsider, right?"


    "Heh, so it''s the Madam President." The Great Elder laughed contemptuously. He could only say, "Alright, then blame this old man for being stupid."


    As a result, Chu Lin began to report on the recent developments of the Mercenary Guild, but not every word he said was important and not important. He kept on saying that the Mercenary Guild was peaceful, and he kept his mouth shut about all that he had done.


    "You''re done?" Seeing Chu Lin not saying anything, Yun Qian subconsciously asked.


    "That''s about it." Chu Lin did not deny it, "The Mercenary Guild is now very peaceful, President does not need to worry about it anymore."


    "But, why has this sovereign heard of it? The internal Mercenary Guild have not been very peaceful recently." Yun Qian then brought up the matter of his own accord, "Did the Great Elder turn a blind eye to this internal conflict?"

 C184

    Chu Lin lowered his head, obviously displeased: "President, you have been away from the headquarters all year round, and the matters of the headquarters have always been the concern of me and the head protector. Now that something has happened, the president suddenly wants to take care of it, this old man dares to ask, what have you been doing for a long time?"


    "How dare you!" Xuan Qing berated him coldly, "Chu Lin, you dare to speak to the President like that, do you have any respect in your eyes anymore?"


    "Hur hur." Chu Lin could not help but laugh: "President, this old man was only warning, please do not be angry!"


    His obviously provocative attitude did not have the slightest hint of admonition.


    He was certain that the guild leader wouldn''t do anything to him, so he dared to say such words. After all, he had quite a bit of power.


    "Kneel." Yun Qian gave an indifferent command, showing his might without getting angry.


    Chu Lin was a little unwilling as he retorted, "This old one has committed a crime, why must I kneel ¡­"


    Before he finished speaking, in the next second, Yun Qian raised his hands and threw out two sharp concealed weapons, which instantly pierced Chu Lin''s kneecaps, forcing him to kneel down, his two knees were completely stained with blood.


    "Guild Leader, you ¡­"


    Yun Qian slowly stood up and moved closer to him with light steps. The corner of his mouth slightly lifted into a disdainful arc, "Great Elder, with this Mercenary Guild, it is not your turn to teach this sovereign a lesson."


    If he really wanted to teach them a lesson, he would have to have the ability to do so!


    Chu Lin''s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, the ice-cold yet powerful aura around Yun Qian''s body made it difficult for him to breathe.


    Right now, Chu Lin had the strength of a Nine Star Spirit Sovereign, and in his impression, the President also had the strength of a Nine Star Spirit Sovereign. But why, in that split-second earlier when he attacked, Chu Lin felt that the difference in strength between him and the President could be said to be like heaven and earth!


    Could it be that the president had already successfully upgraded his Spirit God?


    Thinking to this point, Chu Lin still had a little fear in his heart, and his tone softened: "President, it was this old man''s slip of the tongue, I was too rash."


    "This noble one asks you again, did you urge the Mercenary Group to collude with the Poison Sect, did you instigate the internal conflict in the Mercenary Guild?" Yun Qian stared straight into his eyes, those eyes that were as deep as water sent chills down one''s spine. It was like a cold bottomless pit.


    Even when Su Xiruo was standing beside him, he could feel that the pressure around him had decreased by a lot. This time, Yun Qian was probably serious.


    Now, if he did not plead guilty, he was afraid that he would die and would never have a chance to turn the situation around. Thus, the Great Elder could only reply lightly, "I failed my duty and was unable to settle the internal relationship within the Mercenary Guild for the President."


    "Since First Elder has also admitted that he has failed in his duty, then please hand over the golden seal of the Elder as a punishment." Yun Qian was unrelenting as he said, hitting the nail on the head.


    "Huh?" was obviously not willing to do so, the golden seal of an elder represented the authority of an Mercenary Guild elder, and was basically above everyone else. If he were to hand over the golden seal, it would also mean that the president had stripped him of all authority!


    How could he be willing to do this?


    "The president wants you to hand over the golden seal." Xuan Xing repeated what Yun Qian had just said loudly again, "Did the Great Clan Elder not hear it?"


    Chu Lin curled his fingers tightly, as if he wanted to fight for himself: "President, but ¡­ You have no evidence, and cannot prove it either. This old man has just done what you said, and asking this old man to hand over the golden seal just like that, isn''t that a bit too much? "


    "Chu Lin." Yun Qianyun lightly called out his name, "Just because you dared to contradict this sovereign, this sovereign can call it a death sentence. Now that I''ve only confiscated the golden seal, are you still not satisfied?"


    His tone was indifferent, but it was full of coercion.


    After being stunned for a while, Chu Lin became flustered and exasperated, but he did not dare say anything. He could only unwillingly take out the Elder''s Golden Seal from his chest and passed it to Yun Qian.


    Yun Qian received the golden seal and laughed mockingly, as if it had completely stung Chu Lin''s heart. He decided to throw caution to the wind, and violent palm winds swept out, catching him off guard and striking towards Yun Qian''s face, bringing about a strong hatred.


    Yun Qian seemed to have already predicted that this old man would not be so willing to hand over the golden seal, and calmly received Chu Lin''s palm strike. The temperature of the palm, which was like a freezing point, instantly melted Chu Lin''s originally berserk Spiritual Strength completely.


    In the next second, Yun Qian grabbed Chu Lin''s shoulder with his palm. His finger bones moved slightly, and only the sound of Chu Lin''s shoulder bones shattering could be heard.


    "Crack ~ ~ ~"


    Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, Chu Lin felt that the spirit energy in his body was being quickly peeled off at a terrifying speed. His body was completely enveloped by Yun Qian''s yin attribute spirit energy, as if it wanted to push his body apart!


    In the blink of an eye, the Ling Dan in Chu Lin''s body shattered.


    "Puff ¡­" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Chu Lin fell to the ground, his entire body trembling slightly. Looking at Yun Qian''s eyes, other than hatred, there was also fear.


    Even Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing who were standing at the side couldn''t help but take in a breath of cold air, feeling a little afraid.


    "My Spiritual Strength, my Spiritual Strength ¡­" Chu Lin seemed to have realized just now that his own Spiritual Strength had already been abolished by this guy, and even the Ling Dan had been destroyed. You are simply insane! "


    He really did not expect that this seemingly harmless and youth like the president would actually be so ruthless!


    "You have no respect for the president, you deserve it!" Seeing Chu Lin''s state, Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing could not help but feel a great sense of satisfaction.


    The president was extremely decisive, with just the accusation of offending him, he had directly crippled Chu Lin''s Spiritual Strength!


    This... A live nine star Spirit Sovereign was crippled just like that. If he crippled them, wouldn''t it be as simple as killing a chicken?


    Thinking of this, Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing only felt a chill down their spines.


    Hearing his curses, Yun Qian did not get angry, but instead laughed. He did not answer, and instead ordered Xuan Qing: "All of the mercenaries under Chu Lin''s command show of mercy, and those who collude with Poison Sect, die!"


    "Yes."


    "Helian Yunqian, I will kill you!" Chu Lin still wanted to struggle in death. But at this time, the Ling Dan had been destroyed, and he no longer had the ability to struggle.


    Yun Qian glanced at him, then gave a frivolous laugh, "Chu Lin, it''s not like this sovereign didn''t give you a chance, but it''s a pity that you''re so arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone else. My Mercenary Guild, cannot let such a person live!"


    "You better not give this old man a chance. Otherwise, I''ll definitely return today''s grudge to you!" At this time, Chu Lin was already breaking down.


    "Don''t worry, this sovereign won''t give you the chance." Yun Qian was too lazy to waste words with him, he coldly ordered, "Drag him out and cut him."


    When he heard this, Chu Lin''s legs went soft from fright, "You ¡­ You want to kill this old man? Aren''t you afraid of being scolded by the people under you? "


    Yun Qian snorted, "Good work? Other than the newly brainwashed mercenaries under your command, everyone with long eyes would know that your cholera Mercenary Guild allows the evil energy to freely flourish, colluds with the Poison Sect, and practices favouritism in vain. If you die, the Mercenary Guild will be a matter worthy of celebration. "


    "Hoh, good. So you already knew about it." Chu Lin laughed helplessly, as though he already knew that he was at the end of his rope, "Haha, it was this old man''s mistake, and he underestimated your strength. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have died in your hands."


    Chu Lin originally thought that since he had a certain amount of power, the president wouldn''t dare to touch him or do anything to him. But who knew, he miscalculated!


    This guy didn''t have the slightest intention to fear the forces in his hands, so he directly took action!


    "Go to the Underworld to cultivate for a few hundred years, then come out and fight with this sovereign." As soon as Yun Qian finished speaking, he gave the order, "Someone, come."


    The two mercenaries obeyed and placed Chu Lin in their hearts. The huge boulder in Xuan Qing and''s hearts, finally fell to the ground as they said in unison, "You will become a wise man."


    Su Xiruo slowly sighed, thinking, this guy''s actions are really decisive.


    Yun Qian turned his head and saw that Su Xiruo was still standing there. He suddenly realised that his performance in front of his wife was too brutal, if he were to ruin his image in his wife''s eyes, it would not be good.

 C185

    Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing understood each other very well. After everything was settled, they would leave to take care of the matters of the mercenaries.


    "Just now ¡­ I didn''t scare my wife, did I? " Yun Qian turned around and gently pulled on Su Xiruo''s small hand. His black eyes looked into hers and his tone was extremely gentle.


    The harmless look in that person''s eyes made him look just like a youth. There was no way to connect him to that ice-cold and vicious expression just now.


    Su Xiruo shook his head slightly. He was not that easily frightened, "Yun Qian, by doing this, the Great Clan Elder will be done for. However, the powers under his command, are not all necessarily able to submit to him."


    "Yes." Yun Qian nodded his head slightly, but he was no longer worried, "Those remaining people, they can''t even stir up too much trouble either. Their only way out might be to collude with Poison Sect."


    And it was also a good opportunity for him to use this opportunity to catch all of Poison Sect''s friends in one fell swoop!


    "If you are willing to relax, leave the Poison Sect to me for the time being." In Su Xiruo''s heart, he seemed to have an idea, and it was probably because he was thinking of something.


    She hated Poison Sect, but she did not want to make Han Ye an enemy. If Han Ye were to send more people to attack the Mercenary Guild, they would inevitably meet again in battle, and that was why she wanted to settle this matter herself!


    "Alright." "It just so happens that I need to go into seclusion for a while as well. I''ll have to trouble my wife to worry about the rest of the matters. As long as my wife takes out that red jade marrow ring, my entire Mercenary Guild will be at your command."


    Recovering from his injuries as soon as possible, and killing that old thief Jiang Lingye as soon as possible, was the most urgent thing that he could do right now.


    "Red Jade Marrow Ring?" Su Xiruo was startled, he took out the storage ring, and said: "This ring ¡­."


    "This ring is called the Chao Yue, it is my personal item, and is also a keepsake for the Mercenary Guild. Anyone who sees the Chao Yue would feel like seeing me." Yun Qian patiently explained.


    Su Xiruo suddenly remembered that when he was at the Dragon Seal Empire, he accidentally revealed this ring earlier, allowing the branch president of the Dragon Seal Empire to see it.


    At that time, she was still puzzled, but now hearing Yun Qian''s explanation, she seemed to understand.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, "Rest assured, I will think of a way to settle the matter of Poison Sect."


    "Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing, they can help you. If there''s anything you need, you don''t have to be courteous, you can just directly speak to them." In his heart, Yun Qian was somewhat unable to let go of this matter.


    "Got it."


    The next day, Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing took the initiative to come to the Yun Sheng Pavilion to report to Su Xiruo about the situation yesterday.


    "Madam, everyone in Mercenary Guild knows about Great Elder''s evil deeds, but there are still a small number of mercenaries who have yet to return. I presume that they only recognize Chu Lin in their hearts." Xuan Qing''s eyes became a little more serious.


    "Now that Chu Lin is dead, they can''t possibly cause any trouble." Xuan Xing did not take it to heart.


    Su Xiruo shook his head slightly, "I think, to them, right now, the only way out is to collude with Poison Sect, and work together to deal with Mercenary Guild."


    After all, within Midland, other than the fact that Poison Sect was unique and unconventional, the atmosphere between the other three forces was relatively peaceful. There was no reason for the other two forces to offend Mercenary Guild for no reason at all.


    "Hoh, it''s merely hanging on with your last breath." Xuan Xing snorted coldly, he was not the least bit afraid, "I will directly lead people and destroy them all. Madam, what do you think?"


    Su Xiruo paused as if he thought of something. He had a better idea in his heart, "Even if we destroy them all, Poison Sovereign is still in the Poison Sect. This matter can''t pose too much of a threat to him."


    "Then what should we do?" "Poison Sovereign is powerful, even the president might not be his opponent. The two elders in Poison Sect are also powerful, if we go straight for the Poison Sect, I''m afraid we won''t be his match."


    "Actually, it''s not that hard to say." Su Xiruo smiled mysteriously, "Earlier, the Poison Sect disciples had spread throughout the entire area, searching and disturbing everyone, causing the Midland to become restless. Actually, it had already caused some dissatisfaction with both the Spirit Domain, but because there were no forces that threatened the two of them, they did not attack the Poison Sect, but if the Poison Sect were to threaten the two of them, I think, they would definitely do something."


    This way, he wouldn''t need to spend too much effort on the Mercenary Guild to be able to destroy the remnants of Poison Sect in one fell swoop!


    Xuan Qing nodded his head slightly, feeling that it was indeed feasible to do so, he asked: "Madam, what do you plan to do?"


    "I want you to send the mercenaries to spread the news of the Poison Sect. Just say that the Poison Sovereign is very ambitious and wants to annex the entire Midland, for all intents and purposes." Su Xiruo''s tone became serious, "I think, after everything that has happened before, Organ Sect and Spirit Domain will definitely believe such a thing as well."


    Even if their Mercenary Guild did not make a move, the other two forces would definitely make a move as well. They did not need to spend any effort to take down the Poison Sect in one go.


    "Yes." Xuan Qing slightly nodded, "Madam, I will go and do it now."


    Therefore, in the following period of time, the rumors of his Poison Sect had almost reached the tip of the iceberg. Su Xiruo had even intentionally sent people to disguise as his disciples, occasionally infringing upon his Spirit Domain and Organ Sect.


    Spirit Domain and Organ Sect were truly unbearable, and they finally made their move, combining their Mercenary Guild to suppress Poison Sect.


    That Spirit Domain was one of the strongest forces there, the Spirit Sovereign of the Hall of Spirit Domain, and also the strongest practitioner there currently. After that, the Spirit Sovereign ordered that the punishment for the crime of cholera was to be imposed on the people here, and that the area of Poison Sect was to be shortened, greatly weakening the power of the Poison Sect.


    As for the few mercenaries under Chu Lin''s command, they had initially planned to work together with Poison Sect to deal with them. However, after seeing their Poison Sect end up like that, they had no choice but to give up, and had to surrender one by one.


    However, all of the mercenaries who were trying to collude with him were all killed by Su Xiruo. Leaving such a mercenary here would become a hidden danger sooner or later, so he might as well eliminate them as soon as possible.


    Two months passed in a flash. Su Xiruo was extremely at ease within the Mercenary Guild.


    Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    Su Xiruo sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opening his eyes, he felt the Spiritual Strength around his body growing.


    After so many days, she finally broke through again, and now, she already had the strength of her Four-star.


    Although her cultivation speed was already very fast, she knew that such a level of strength was far from enough to kill the Poison Sovereign.


    Suddenly, a series of knocks sounded from outside the hall. A mercenary''s voice came from outside the room, "Madam, can this subordinate come in?"


    "Come in."


    With Su Xiruo''s permission, the mercenary pushed open the door and anxiously said: "Madam, outside the Mercenary Guild ¡­"


    "Did something happen?" Seeing him so anxious, Su Xiruo hurriedly asked.


    "Outside of Mercenary Guild, a Poison Sect disciple attempted to forcefully attack, however, he had already been captured by the chief protector. The mercenary reported truthfully, "That Poison Sect disciple seems to be very strong, it should be the strength of the Spirit Sovereign!"


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly. The first person he thought of was Han Ye!


    Now that the Poison Sect was greatly damaged, wouldn''t Han Ye just run over to the Mercenary Guild to die?


    "I''ll go take a look!" Thus, Su Xiruo did not say much and rushed out of Mercenary Guild.


    He only saw Han Ye and Xuan Qing facing each other, his entire body covered with wounds, defeated by Xuan Qing, but his heart was filled with unwillingness.


    "Last time, my wife was merciful and let you go. I didn''t expect you to be so reckless." Xuan Qing pointed the weapon in his hand at Han Ye''s neck and mocked.


    "If you have the ability, then kill me. Otherwise, as long as I''m still alive, you must think of some way to avenge my Poison Sect!"

 C186

    "Alright, since you want to die so much, I''ll satisfy you!" Xuan Qing did not waste time with words, just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Su Xiruo who just happened to come over.


    "Xuan Qing, wait a moment."


    Xuan Qing turned his head around, and immediately kept the blade in his hand, lowering his head: "Madam."


    Su Xiruo and Han Ye looked at each other, then said to Xuan Qing: "Let me handle this person, how about it?"


    "Yes." Xuan Qing naturally did not have any intention to refute, and then he consciously retreated a little, and did not listen to the conversation between the two.


    Han Ye glanced at Su Xiruo, and helplessly sighed. "Xiruo, now, you have also joined forces with this Mercenary Guild, and are here to deal with it?"


    "Han Ye, I''ve already said it before. From today onwards, Poison Sect and I are irreconcilable." Su Xiruo did not admit it, but also did not deny it, "In my heart, I do not wish to be your enemy, but if you insist on making things difficult for me, do not blame me for being rude!"


    Following that, Su Xiruo continued to add: "I still have to remind you, now that the energy in your Poison Sect is approaching, and you don''t have the strength to continue battling with it, so at this time, it''s best if you don''t come here to throw your life away! If you don''t work for the Poison Sovereign anymore, perhaps our friendship can continue. "


    Cold Night''s fingerbone tightly curled up. For a moment, he actually didn''t know what to say. "Xiruo, the Poison Sect has done me a favor. I can''t be such a disloyal person!"


    "What you want to do is your own business. It has nothing to do with me." "I just want to advise you that you need to know your limits. If you don''t have that capability, it''s best not to ask for trouble, this will be the last time I''ll let you go, if there''s a next time, then I won''t be soft-hearted at all!"


    Han Ye looked at her slightly sympathetic eyes and was slightly moved. "Xiruo, I just knew that, in fact, you wouldn''t be able to bear it."


    "That''s only for you." Su Xiruo retorted coldly, "Regarding Poison Sect, I no longer have any feelings. Jiang Lingye is my enemy, if you help me Jiang Lingye in the future, you will also be my enemy!"


    After that, Su Xiruo was too lazy to continue wasting words with him, she immediately ordered them to leave: "You may leave, this is my last time, I''ll be merciful to you!"


    "Xiruo, no matter what, I still have to thank you." Han Ye said indifferently, and then, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared from Su Xiruo''s sight.


    Su Xiruo looked in the direction where Han Ye left and sighed helplessly. At this time, Xuan Qing had also come over.


    "Xuan Qing, I''m sorry. I let him go again." Su Xiruo said with a slightly apologetic tone, "It''s just that the favors I owed you in the Poison Sect are really too many. I can''t explain them right now."


    "Madam, there''s no need to be so polite." "Since Madam has some sort of relationship with that Protector Ye, then you must naturally return it. After all, a Spirit Sovereign is not a threat to my Mercenary Guild."


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, but became lost in thought for a long time.


    Su Biyue had traveled across mountains and rivers for more than two months, but even she herself did not know where exactly she had arrived at. She only knew that this place should be relatively safe now.


    The current Su Biyue was in tattered clothing, his hair was in a mess, and his face was covered with dust. He looked to be in a sorry state, with the loss of his Spiritual Strength, he had a stomach that was starving for several days already.


    She vaguely saw that the sea was in front of her, so she staggered forward, scooped up a handful of water with both hands, and gulped down the water.


    Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the water and a Mermaid shaped spirit beast suddenly came out from the water, revealing its fierce fangs, Su Biyue retreated in fear, he had never seen a Mermaid like this before.


    The Mermaid closed in again and again, causing Su Biyue to retreat continuously. Because he could not endure the energy anymore, he fainted and lost consciousness in an instant.


    When Su Biyue woke up again, he found that his four limbs were shackled and locked in the prison. There were still many humans like him, with their hands and feet bound, while the guards outside the prison were all Mermaid of all shapes and sizes.


    Suddenly, Su Biyue realized something was wrong.


    She was now at the bottom of the sea! He was surrounded by water, and his eyes were wide open as he dived into the seabed, yet he did not suffocate. What was going on?


    Therefore, Su Biyue turned his head and asked the human beside him: "Where are we? What exactly is going on? "


    A young lady by the side sighed and replied: "We were all captured by Mermaid. The relationship between Mermaid and Humans have never been good, so we often capture some powerless humans to the seabed to serve as slaves!"


    Hearing that, Su Biyue''s mind went blank, as if he had not realised it.


    Be a slave or a slave? In other words, he was a human being caught by the Mermaid to work hard. If that was the case, he wouldn''t have any more chances to leave the deep sea.


    The Mermaid Clan was one of the three God Beast Clans. Their strength was a little weaker than Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and they grew under the sea all year round, so they were familiar with the water quality. As a result, the other two god Orc Clan families did not dare to come to the seabed to invade.


    But now, with his own Spiritual Strength gone, how could he escape from this place?


    Just then, the two Mermaid s opened the door and ordered the guards to release the human prisoners one by one. They lined up in two rows and walked out.


    The group was brought to a more spacious region of the sea, and the Mermaid leader spoke up: "All of you clean up all the junk in this region of the sea, whoever dares to be lazy will die without a burial ground!"


    These humans, all of them being threatened by, all became extremely obedient and began to work obediently. Su Biyue was stunned for a moment and then, he felt a whip hit him in his back, "Ah ¡­"


    Su Biyue turned his head, only to see a Mermaid staring at him, as though warning him, if he did not move, he would die!


    Thus, Su Biyue could only obediently start working, he did not dare to slack off, as the Mermaid just let it go and did not continue staring at Su Biyue.


    Su Biyue carefully approached a human and asked: "You guys have never thought of escaping from here?"


    "Shh, girl, don''t talk nonsense." "The bottom of the sea is unfathomable. None of us have a Spiritual Strength, so how can we leave? If the Mermaid finds out about this, then the only road left for us is death! "


    Listening up to here, Su Biyue sighed lightly. Seems like it would be impossible for him to secretly escape from the ocean floor.


    "Then... Could it be that we will have to spend the rest of our lives in this sort of place? " Thinking about it, Su Biyue still wasn''t willing to give up.


    She didn''t want to spend her whole life in this deep sea. She still wanted to leave, and there were more important things she needed to do.


    "My lady, these Mermaid are all extremely vicious and hate humans to the extreme. If we do not follow them, we will only die. The only way out for them is probably to make them happy, maybe we will even get a chance to be granted an amnesty." The young girl told her the truth, but she still felt that it was impossible.


    Su Biyue nodded slightly, as if he had seen some hope. "Un, you''re right.


    "Xiao Yan." The girl''s voice carried a hint of cowardice.


    "My name is Su Biyue." Su Biyue also took the initiative to express his goodwill, "From today onwards, both of us will be in the same boat. As long as I can get out of this ocean, I''ll definitely bring you out.


    The moment he heard that he could go out, Xiao Yan became extremely excited, "Do you really have a way to?"


    "One step at a time." Su Biyue was not completely sure in his heart, but in this place that he was unfamiliar with, having a fellow human was also considered taking care of him.

 C187

    Suddenly, one of the Mermaid seemed to be able to see through their conversation. Waving its whip, it pounced towards Xiao Yan''s back.


    Seeing that, Su Biyue immediately turned around and helped Xiao Yan block the whip. The whip landed on her back, cutting her flesh, causing blood to flow out.


    "Bi Yue ¡­" Xiao Yan was slightly moved, she immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright?"


    Su Biyue laughed, then lowered his head and said: "I''m fine, quickly go back to work, if not, the Mermaid will feel like we''re lazy later."


    "Yes." Xiao Yan slightly nodded, and said in a soft voice, "Bi Yue, thank you for saving me. In the future, we will be friends in this ocean.


    It had been more than a year since she was captured in this sea, and she spent almost every day in endless ice. Now, such a person suddenly appeared, treating her with such sincerity, saying that she wasn''t moved was impossible.


    "We''re all friends, don''t talk to me like that." Su Biyue laughed, he had an idea in his heart.


    Heh, he had already bribed her with such a small favor. It seemed that she was also someone who was easy to take advantage of. He should be able to leave this sea area very soon!


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    In the huge main hall, there was a hint of a cold aura. A Red Fox in human form appeared in front of the Men In Black: "First Prince."


    First Prince shot him a cold glance and asked: "How is the investigation going?"


    "I''ve investigated thoroughly. First Prince, that Helian Yunqian is indeed your second highness in Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, your twin brother." The Red Fox then told everything she had investigated to the First Prince.


    Seeing the look in First Prince''s eyes become more and more dark, as if he was about to devour someone, "So it turns out that the Expert of Spirit God that was born not long ago was him! "Looks like this fellow''s strength isn''t low."


    "That''s right." The Red Fox lowered her head and answered, "Not long ago, Helian Yunqian had even defeated the Poison Sovereign, the First Prince who possessed Spirit God. It''s not easy to deal with! "


    First Prince snorted, as if he did not like hearing such words, and threw the Red Fox away with a palm strike. He asked coldly: "What, do you think that this sovereign''s strength is inferior to that lowly bastard''s?"


    He could not bear hearing his own men speak to bolster the resolve of others and destroy his own prestige. Thus, even if it was the truth, he did not want to hear it!


    An abandoned son who had been left behind, his current strength was actually almost the same as his strength that he had been carefully nurtured for. How could First Prince not be jealous of him when something like this happened?


    In the future, it would only be a matter of time before Helian Yunqian''s Spiritual Strength surpasses his!


    Therefore, he had to eliminate that scourge as soon as possible, or else there would be endless troubles in the future!


    "I don''t dare." The Red Fox hurriedly changed her words and flattered, "If First Prince makes a move, then Helian Yunqian will definitely not be his match."


    "Okay, stop bragging about this sovereign." "Although this noble one''s strength is higher than his, it would not be easy for me to kill him either. This matter requires further consideration!"


    The Red Fox immediately agreed: "That''s right, First Prince, there is really no need for us to go head to head with him, we don''t need to suffer such a loss."


    "There''s still another woman by Helian Yunqian''s side, is there not?" First Prince''s attention suddenly shifted.


    "Yes." The Red Fox laughed, "Helian Yunqian seems to care a lot about that woman."


    Instantly, First Prince seemed to have thought of something, "Go, capture that woman for this sovereign!"


    To capture the person he cared the most about as a threat, it was surely even more ruthless than directly harming him!


    There could only be one successor to this Fox Clan, and that was him, Yun Lichen!


    Therefore, there was only death for Helian Yunqian. Even if he did not have the heart to fight for the position of Patriarch, he would definitely not let go! As long as it was someone who was a threat to him, he would not let any of them off!


    "Yes sir!"


    The Red Fox accepted the order, turned into a puff of smoke and left the place. First Prince''s expression changed suddenly, and there was a tinge of hatred in his eyes.


    Another month passed and the Poison Sect gradually stopped moving. The interior of the Mercenary Guild had also become peaceful and everything seemed to have regained its tranquility.


    Before Yun Qian even came out of seclusion, Su Xiruo had already headed for the Mercenary Academy after cultivating. He called Mu Lingxi over and they all went to the borders of the Phoenix Nest Empire to visit the Medical Sovereign and Ye Zhuozhuo.


    When the two of them reached the bamboo forest, Ye Zhuozhuo was in the middle of decocting medicine in the courtyard with a serious look. Presumably, he was also training hard in the bamboo forest.


    "Shining." Mu Lingxi opened his mouth and called out her name, his heart feeling a little excited.


    Ye Zhuozhuo turned around and saw Mu Lingxi. The thing in his hand immediately dropped to the ground and he thought he had seen wrongly, "Ling Xi ¡­ Is that you? "


    Mu Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ye Zhuozhuo into his embrace, "Brilliant, it''s really great to see that you''re alright. These past few days, I''ve been worried about you day and night, and have been thinking about you every single moment."


    "Why didn''t you come find me earlier?" Ye Zhuozhuo''s tone carried a hint of rebuke.


    Su Xiruo stood at the side, looking at the two people they had just reunited with, he couldn''t help but smile, and feel extremely gratified.


    These two had finally reached the end of their endurance.


    "Are your injuries all healed?" Mu Lingxi sized Ye Zhuozhuo up from head to toe, and couldn''t help but ask in concern.


    "Yes, they''re all healed." Ye Zhuozhuo laughed, "Furthermore, Medical Sovereign even accepted me as a disciple. Recently, my Spiritual Strength and medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds."


    "Medical Sovereign accepted you as a disciple, is that true?" Mu Lingxi was still a little doubtful.


    Being chosen as a disciple by the Medical Sovereign could be considered an honor.


    At this time, Medical Sovereign came out of the wooden hut and coughed twice. Mu Lingxi and Su Xiruo both saw the situation and bowed, saying in a very respectful tone, "Medical Sovereign."


    "Brilliant and talented, I''ll take her as my disciple from now on. I''ll have her stay in the bamboo forest and be my companion." Medical Sovereign did not forget to praise Ye Zhuozhuo for his words.


    Mu Lingxi took a step forward: "Then I will have to thank Medical Sovereign for the respect, I just didn''t know ¡­ This bamboo forest still lacks people, I ¡­ Can you also leave it with the burning? "


    It had been such a difficult reunion, and he didn''t want to be separated from Radiant. Moreover, who knew how long it would be before they met again.


    Medical Sovereign was startled for a moment. "What, are you afraid that this old man will mistreat this girl?"


    "I don''t dare." Mu Lingxi hurriedly explained, "It''s just that I''m a little reluctant."


    "Haha." Seeing Mu Lingxi being all serious, Medical Sovereign laughed, "I was joking with you. Although this old man likes peace and quiet, in order to keep Brilliant, my disciple, I have no choice but to agree to let you stay with me."


    There was no helping it, she was reluctant to part with such a talented disciple with such a special physique, so she had to be more lenient.


    Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo finally reacted, Medical Sovereign promised to stay back with them, and immediately thanked them: "Thank you, Medical Sovereign."


    "Whatever, you guys can slowly reminisce about the past. This old man won''t join in on the liveliness." With that said, the Medical Sovereign waved his hand and went in alone.


    Su Xiruo was also unwilling to disturb the two of them as he followed Medical Sovereign into the hut.


    Seeing her enter, Medical Sovereign casually asked: "How is Yun Qian doing recently?"


    "Yun Qian has been in closed-door training for more than three months. I think he should be coming out soon." Su Xiruo casually found a seat and sat down, "Thank you Medical Sovereign for your concern."


    "Not worth mentioning, that little fellow can be considered one of my few friends." Medical Sovereign did not take it to heart, and asked, "Girl, today you have come to see this old man, and are not just here to let them meet again, right?"


    After he had guessed what was going on, Su Xiruo couldn''t help but smile, "I can''t hide anything from your eyes.


    "Oh?" Medical Sovereign was a little surprised. "You are just a Poison Master, what can you ask of me?"

 C188

    "I want to ask, does Medical Sovereign know the way to dissolve Dissolving Gu?" Su Xiruo did not keep them in suspense any longer and went straight to the point.


    Medical Sovereign had roughly guessed that she would ask this question herself. She was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully: "Girl, to be honest, this old man has tried every method possible, and I am still unable to completely remove the Dissolving Gu from Yun Qian''s body. I am truly ashamed."


    "Even you have no way. It seems that I have no way." Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, and his tone sounded a little dejected.


    "However." At this time, Medical Sovereign changed the topic, "This Dissolving Gu is a poison, it was refined by Poison Master. Maybe, Poison Master has a better method than this old man."


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded: "What you said was true. It is just that among the top Poison Master s in Fine Star Continent, who else could it be other than the Poison Sovereign? Poison Sovereign would definitely not be willing to hand over the antidote. "


    Even if he had to hand over the antidote, there were still other Venom s in it. As a result, in Su Xiruo''s heart, he had already given up on the path of the Poison Sovereign!


    "Other than Poison Sovereign, there''s actually another poison genius." Medical Sovereign knew a little about it.


    "Please speak." Su Xiruo could not help but ask, "That poison genius, is he young?"


    "That''s right, that man was given the title of Poison Gongzi by the outside world. His early twenties were actually made up of poison ghosts. That Poison Book was codified by the Poison Gongzi." Then, the Medical Sovereign did not hide anything and told Su Xiruo the truth, "A year ago, he was already a high ranking Poison Master."


    A high level Poison Master, this level was something Su Xiruo couldn''t even think of!


    "Poison Book." Su Xiruo suddenly thought of something, "It''s the book I got from the Mercenary Academy!"


    Because the Poison Book was enlightened, Su Xiruo''s Toxicology increased by a lot. He never thought that it was actually compiled by the Poison Gongzi, one could imagine how powerful the Poison Gongzi''s Toxicology was.


    So, Su Xiruo asked anxiously: "Then where is Poison Gongzi now?"


    The Poison Book also recorded the acute poison called Dissolving Gu. Poison Gongzi must also know how to detoxify it! Instantly, Su Xiruo seemed to have seen hope, as though he felt that as long as he could find the Poison Gongzi, Yun Qian would be saved!


    "Hai." At this point, Medical Sovereign sighed, feeling a little regretful. "Unfortunately, one year ago, Poison Gongzi disappeared without a trace, and no one could find him. Someone said that he made too many enemies and was killed by the enemy."


    Su Xiruo''s smile instantly stiffened at the corner of her mouth. "So, it''s missing?"


    "That''s right, now that no one can find traces of the Poison Gongzi, the odds are against us." Medical Sovereign was also extremely helpless, "Could it be, that Yun Qian is destined to have many misfortunes?"


    "It''s just that the person is missing and there is no conclusive evidence that the Poison Gongzi must have died. Thus, there is still a glimmer of hope." As long as there was a sliver of hope, Su Xiruo would not easily give up.


    As long as Poison Gongzi was still alive in this world, she would find him no matter what.


    However, the hope of finding the Poison Gongzi was too slim. She had to think of another way.


    Su Xiruo exchanged greetings with the Medical Sovereign, then bid his farewells to the three of them. Just as he left the bamboo forest, he noticed that there were people following him.


    She had a bad feeling about this, and felt that this person was not friendly. She quickened her pace, intending to return as soon as possible, so she was followed all the way to Midland.


    A red figure blocked her way, transforming into a human body, with a cold expression appearing in front of Su Xiruo.


    The strength of the Spirit Sovereign! Separated by an inch, Su Xiruo could already feel the powerful pressure of the Spiritual Strength, and for a moment, he was actually a little nervous in his heart.


    No way, this Midland''s people are all perverts, aren''t they? If he were to meet any one of them, it would be Spirit Sovereign, and his own Spirit Monarch would not be able to live any longer!


    "Who are you?" However, Su Xiruo still calmed down and asked coldly.


    "To kill your people!"


    Su Xiruo subconsciously took a step back. He probably didn''t expect this guy to be so direct, "Who sent you?"


    "This has nothing to do with you. You only need to know that today is the day you die!" The Red Fox snorted, and the berserk fire attribute Spiritual Strength flew out.


    Su Xiruo immediately dodged to the side, but his arm was still injured, and there was no place for him to hide.


    The finger bones were tightly curled, seeing that the other party was chasing after him, the gold Spiritual Strength condensed around Su Xiruo''s body, the Xi Yan took action, welcoming the Red Fox''s strong attack, its body suddenly shot out like a piece of paper.


    After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Su Xiruo slowly crawled up from the ground. Seeing that the Red Fox was gradually approaching, he sneakily took out a bottle of poison from the Storage Ring and sprinkled the poison into the air with his fastest speed.


    Since he couldn''t beat the other party, he might as well think of a way to escape first!


    In an instant, the view in front of the Red Fox became a complete mess, and it was possible to not see anything clearly. By the time it had regained its vision, Su Xiruo was already far away.


    "Damn it!" The Red Fox immediately transformed into its spirit beast body and chased after him.


    But Su Xiruo, as if he had fallen into a daze, was already unable to locate the location of the Mercenary Guild. He could only run in the other direction, trying his best to shake off the trouble behind him.


    After chasing for an unknown amount of time, Su Xiruo saw that in front of him was a mountain forest with a complicated terrain. He looked back and saw that the other party was about to catch up to him.


    The Red Fox chanced upon them and wanted to enter the mountain, but was stopped by a Barrier outside.


    "This... This is the Spirit Domain realm. " The Red Fox stared with its eyes wide open. Only now did it realise that it was in the Spirit Domain realm.


    The Spirit Domain was one of the largest forces of the Midland. The Spirit Sovereign had set up Barrier outside of the Spirit Domain to prevent spirit beasts from entering, so that woman just now could have entered, but he could not have entered at all.


    "Hmph." The Red Fox snorted coldly. It was extremely unreconciled, and didn''t dare to trespass.


    After all, not just anyone could afford to offend the Spirit Domain, even the First Prince would not allow him to do so rashly.


    Forget it, I''ll just wait at the exit and see when that woman comes out!


    Su Xiruo went into the forest, one hand covering his injured arm as he searched for a place to hide.


    She didn''t know where this place was, but she was afraid that the guy would catch up to her again soon. So, it was better to find a hiding place first!


    Suddenly, she saw a rather hidden cave not far away, she hurried forward, but just as she was about to enter, she discovered that there was actually a thin layer of Barrier outside the cave.


    Su Xiruo took out his Can Meng, channeled his energy and directly cut the Barrier open.


    As soon as Xi Ruo walked a few steps forward, her feet suddenly tripped on something. With the sound of the iron chains, Su Xiruo tripped over and fell to the ground. In the next second, her body lost consciousness and fainted.


    Within the cave, the faint sound of dripping water could be heard. It was exceptionally quiet.


    Su Xiruo opened his eyes in a daze. Borrowing the weak light from the flames, his pitch black face entered his sight, only to see the man beside him dressed in tattered clothes, his hair in a mess, his face pitch black. His hands and feet were locked in chains, making him look like a ghost.


    "You ¡­" Su Xiruo slowly stood up, feeling that the injuries on his body had already healed to a great extent, he asked, "Are you the one who saved me?"


    "That''s right." The man''s voice was slightly low, and he continued to ask, "You are from Spirit Domain? "How did you get into this forbidden area?"


    "I''m not someone from the Spirit Domain, I just accidentally barged in." Su Xiruo answered truthfully and then asked him, "Is this Spirit Domain?"


    "That''s right." The man stared at her, "The Barrier outside the cave was personally set up by the Spirit Sovereign. With just your Spirit Monarch, how could you open it so easily?"


    It sounded incredible.


    "The Barrier set up by the Spirit Sovereign?" Su Xiruo was surprised when he heard it, he had only used the Can Meng to swipe lightly, and the Barrier was already opened. Was it really set up by the Spirit Sovereign?

 C189

    "Woman, I just saved you. How about you save me now?" The man''s eyes seemed to contain a hint of desire.


    Since this woman was able to open the Barrier set up by the Spirit Sovereign, she must definitely have a way to save him as well.


    Su Xiruo looked at him from head to toe, and then said in an indifferent tone: "You have to tell me first, what kind of identity you are, and why you''re imprisoned here. I''ll decide whether or not I want to save you!"


    After all, this was the Spirit Domain, if he really saved the person who was imprisoned in Spirit Sovereign, then there would be no good ending. After all, within the Humans, no one would dare to offend the Spirit Sovereign on purpose!


    The man helplessly sighed, and then said: "I was originally a Poison Master in the Spirit Domain, and helped treat Spirit Sovereign''s daughter''s injuries a year ago. I accidentally missed, causing Spirit Sovereign''s daughter to become crippled, and as a result, I was punished by Spirit Sovereign and imprisoned here."


    At this point, the man was extremely unwilling.


    "You are the Poison Master?" Su Xiruo actually noticed this word, "One year ago... Being able to become a Poison Master by Spirit Sovereign''s side, I presume that your Toxicology should be very high, right? "


    "Hmph." The man coldly snorted, "Just be at a higher level than you."


    With one glance, he saw through the identity of the Poison Master. Su Xiruo was surprised for a moment, and then, he took out the worn-out¡¶ Poison Book¡· and waved it in front of the man: "Do you recognize this Poison Book?"


    When the man saw the Poison Book, his eyes lit up. He then laughed at himself and did not answer her question.


    Su Xiruo saw that something was amiss from his eyes, and asked: "What, looking at this Poison Book, you seem to have a very familiar feeling to it?"


    "Heh." The man smiled. That smile looked somewhat bitter. "I wrote it myself. How could I not be familiar with it?"


    He wrote it himself?


    "You?" Su Xiruo thought he misheard, and anxiously asked: "You are ¡­. the legendary genius of the Poison Master, Poison Gongzi? "


    The man shook his head. "Don''t call me that. Look at my current destitute state. How could I be worthy of that title?"


    "You ¡­ Is it really the Poison Gongzi? " Su Xiruo still could not believe that he could actually meet the person he had always wanted to find in this Spirit Domain!


    The man rolled his eyes at her, "If you don''t believe me, then believe me. In any case, I''m not a human or a ghost, so no matter what I say, I''m afraid that no one will believe me."


    "Since your Toxicology is so advanced, why did you make a mistake and cause the Spirit Sovereign''s daughter to become crippled?" Su Xiruo was a little confused.


    The expression in Poison Gongzi''s eyes became somewhat empty, and his tone became serious: "It''s chaos if you''re concerned, and I also hate myself. Sometimes, the more afraid I am, the easier it is for things to happen."


    Su Xiruo more or less understood what he meant, "So, what you mean is, you''re the daughter of the Poison Sovereign?"


    It was because he cared too much that he was so anxious to make mistakes. It was quite a pity.


    Poison Gongzi lowered his head and did not answer. In his heart, he had already tacitly acknowledged Su Xiruo''s words.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly: "Then, what about the love that the young lady had for you?"


    "It has always been just a one-sided wish of mine. I''m afraid that she has already forgotten about me." Poison Gongzi laughed helplessly, as if he did not want to think too much. "I let her down, and I will never have the face to see her again in this life."


    Su Xiruo thought that since Spirit Sovereign only had such a daughter and she was also a middle-aged girl, she must have been doting on him. Otherwise, why would Poison Gongzi make a mistake and imprison him here?


    "Woman." Seeing Su Xiruo was thinking about something, the Poison Gongzi roughly guessed something. "What, after hearing that I was imprisoned by the Spirit Sovereign, you didn''t dare to save me anymore?"


    Even though he was a little disappointed, he could understand Su Xiruo''s actions. After all, no one dared to rashly offend the strongest Humans expert.


    Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo said righteously: "I can save you, but you need to promise me one thing!"


    "What is it, do not hesitate to tell me." Upon hearing that she was willing to save him, the Poison Gongzi became somewhat excited in her heart. "As long as it''s something that I can do, I will definitely do it."


    Therefore, Su Xiruo did not keep her in suspense and went straight to the point: "I specifically read about your Poison Book s previously, and got a lot of inspiration. I remember there were records of the poison called Dissolving Gu, I wonder if Poison Gongzi knows the method to cure this Dissolving Gu?"


    After saying that, Poison Gongzi was stunned, he could not help but sneer: "Are you crazy, that is a Level 8 Poison!"


    "But, isn''t it recorded on the Poison Book?" Su Xiruo was still not willing to give up.


    "I only recorded it down, I don''t have a way to decipher the truth." Poison Gongzi said in a disdainful tone, "A high level Profound Rank Poison Master like you, what kind of poison do you touch?"


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip. Seeing that he had even said that, he suddenly felt a bit disappointed in his heart: "Because my husband was infected with a Dissolving Gu, and I can''t think of a way to cure him, I am only a Poison Master with limited ability. So, I came to seek your help."


    Then, she added: "If you really have a way to get rid of this Dissolving Gu, I will think of a way to save you."


    Even if she had to offend the Spirit Sovereign, she didn''t care.


    Facing such temptation, Poison Gongzi thought for a moment, then said: "It''s not like there''s no other way. I know the method to cure the poison, but my current rank is a little too low, so when I advance to, this poison will be easy."


    Thinking about it carefully, the Poison Gongzi was already a high level Poison Master, so it would probably only be a matter of time before he advanced to the Divine Rank realm.


    "Is that true?" Su Xiruo was still skeptical.


    "If you don''t believe me, then there''s nothing I can do." Poison Gongzi was too lazy to explain too much, "If you think I can trust you, then save me. Since I''ve promised you, then I will do everything in my power to save your husband''s life."


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip and agreed: "Alright, it''s a deal!"


    Although this Poison Gongzi might not be able to do it, but since the Medical Sovereign said he could, then he must have some ability.


    With that, Su Xiruo took out the Can Meng and chopped down at the iron chain in her hand. She realised that the iron chain was extremely sturdy, and in the next second, the Can Meng was ejected out by the Spiritual Strength.


    As for the iron chain, it was still intact without any damage.


    Su Xiruo picked up the Can Meng and tried a few more times. The iron chains only had some minute cracks on them, and did not completely split open.


    "Looks like my strength is still lacking." Su Xiruo helplessly sighed, and thought, still a little bit more.


    If he was a little stronger now, he should be able to use the Can Meng to open all the shackles. Unfortunately, he was just a little bit off!


    Poison Gongzi was also helpless. "How strong are you now?"


    "Just over a month ago, I had a breakthrough in my Four-star." Su Xiruo put down his Can Meng and felt a little powerless.


    If the strength of Spirit Monarch was placed in an empire, then that person would definitely be an expert. However, in the Midland, it was simply nothing, and there was nothing that could be done.


    "It''s already not bad that the Spirit Monarch is able to leave scars on this chain." Poison Gongzi was very calm, "If you go up another level, maybe ¡­ If your Spiritual Artifact was a little stronger, it should be able to break this chain! "


    Poison Gongzi''s gaze landed on the Can Meng.


    That''s right, it was not a problem with this woman, but her Divine Instrument.


    "Can Meng." Su Xiruo lowered his head and looked at the Can Meng, "The Can Meng is now at the early stage of Heavenly Ranked, how can they continue to advance?"


    "As expected of the advanced Divine Instrument." Poison Gongzi''s eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed, as if he had a way.


    He took out a bottle of venom from his sleeves and poured it on the ground. In the next second, Su Xiruo suddenly sensed something and could not help but frown: "You ¡­. "Do you want to attract all the spirit beasts in this forest over?"


    "I''m giving your Spiritual Artifact an upgrade!" Poison Gongzi laughed, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

 C190

    This was the fastest way for Can Meng to advance, which was also the fastest way for him to leave this damn place.


    "Let me make this clear first." Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows slightly, looking a little unhappy, "I am only using Spirit Monarch. If a high level spirit beast comes by later, or I alarm the Spirit Sovereign, I won''t be able to deal with it. At that time, no one will collect your corpse!"


    Poison Gongzi laughed, as if he did not care at all. In any case, he was already half a dead man, if he did not fight like this, he could only stay in this dark place forever.


    As expected, the venom was effective. Not long after, the entire cave was surrounded by a group of spirit beasts of all shapes and sizes.


    Su Xiruo stood up, bringing along the Xi Yan s from the berserk Spiritual Strength, he instantly killed a few spirit beasts of not too high level.


    "Use the Can Meng quickly, or else how will your Spiritual Artifact advance?" Poison Gongzi didn''t forget to remind him from the side.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, the Can Meng flew out of its scabbard and pierced into one of the spirit beasts'' bodies. In the next second, the spirit beast fell to the ground and died, but another countless of spirit beasts assaulted her, not even giving her a chance to breathe.


    It was a good thing that the back of the mountain was vast and desolate. As a result, even with the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, it did not attract too much attention,. The disciples who accidentally found the abnormality would think that it was some spirit beasts killing each other, but most of them did not pay too much attention.


    For an entire day and night, the corpses of the spirit beasts piled up into a mountain. The Can Meng faintly glowed, but did not advance in the slightest. After all, it was already at the Heavenly Ranked level.


    Su Xiruo''s hands were drenched in blood, and he killed another Vicious Beasts. The Can Meng absorbed all of the Spiritual Strength around the spirit beast''s body, passed through its fingertips, and transferred it into Su Xiruo''s body.


    Poison Gongzi watched from the side and laughed: "Looks like the Divine Instrument has not advanced, but this girl is about to advance!"


    Su Xiruo only felt that the Spiritual Strength in his body was condensing more and more, as though it was about to reach its limit. Following that, a tyrannical force was released, instantly killing the two Vicious Beasts s that were charging towards him!


    Her entire body was tightly wrapped in a golden light, causing many low level spirit beasts to retreat. When the halo disappeared, Su Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been reborn, the Spiritual Strength around his body became much stronger!


    In front of his eyes, a fierce spirit beast flew over. Su Xiruo turned his body slightly and smashed his fist on the spirit beast''s body.


    Had he advanced again?


    If not for the Can Meng absorbing the spirit beast''s Spiritual Strength, it would have been impossible for him to advance to five star Spirit Monarch so quickly!


    Seeing the situation, Poison Gongzi could not help but smile complacently. He raised his hand and threw out another bottle of venom, instantly dispersing all the remaining spirit beasts.


    Su Xiruo could immediately recognize that the poison used by the Poison Gongzi just now was definitely a poison above the Heavenly Ranked. He became even more certain that this was a Poison Master!


    "I never thought that you would actually advance your cultivation level before the Divine Instrument." The Poison Gongzi laughed, "Quickly try and see if you can open the shackles!"


    He couldn''t wait to leave this hellish place.


    Su Xiruo gasped for breath, then squatted down and held onto the Can Meng tightly.


    "Quick, use all your strength!" Poison Gongzi could not help but remind him.


    Su Xiruo glanced at him impatiently. "If you accidentally cut off your hand, don''t blame me."


    "Just cut it." The Poison Gongzi didn''t seem to care at all. It was probably because he felt that even if his hand was chopped off, he could still think of a way to reattach it.


    But if he couldn''t leave, he would have to stay in this place for the rest of his life, never to see the light of day!


    "Alright!" Su Xiruo did not hesitate, he used more than 12% of his strength and cut down with his blade.


    With a clang, the iron chain broke apart. Su Xiruo revealed a happy expression, and with another punch of his Spirit Storing Qi, he cut off the iron chain at his feet. "Open, let''s go!"


    He had to leave this dangerous place quickly, otherwise, if people found out later, they might not be able to successfully leave the Spirit Domain.


    Poison Gongzi was also extremely excited. She slowly got up and followed behind Su Xiruo, and just as she left the cave, a purple clothed lady appeared in front of the two of them.


    The purple-clothed woman had a delicate face and a beautiful figure, but between her brows, she seemed to be someone not to be trifled with. She slowly approached with a frown: "Ye Huan."


    As if feeling guilty, Poison Gongzi took a few steps back, looked at the purple-clothed woman''s undamaged leg, and asked: "Yufei, your leg, has already healed?"


    Hearing the two of them talking, Su Xiruo could determine that the purple-clothed woman should be the daughter of the Spirit Sovereign, Qin Yufei!


    The purple-dressed woman laughed mockingly, "Don''t bring this up for me, Ye Huan. I had thought that the spirit beast in the rear had done something rash, I hadn''t thought that you would actually run away, and even had another woman!"


    With that, Qin Yufei coldly glanced at Su Xiruo: "This woman, is she not a disciple of our Spirit Domain? To dare to trespass into the Spirit Domain, you are simply courting death! "


    Not only did she trespass into Spirit Domain, she even released Poison Gongzi, his father had been imprisoned for a year.


    Su Xiruo laughed nonchalantly, without a shred of fear: "Miss Qin, I am sorry to intrude into Spirit Domain, but I have borrowed Poison Gongzi''s power today, and hope that Miss Qin will be satisfied. I will definitely thank you in person one day!"


    Su Xiruo carefully probed a bit. This Qin Yufei probably had the strength of a Seven Star Spirit Monarch, if no one else came, he would be able to cope with it and forcefully bring Poison Gongzi away.


    And at this time, although the Poison Gongzi was still at Spirit Sovereign''s level of strength, because he had been imprisoned for a year, his strength had been deliberately suppressed by the Spirit Sovereign, so it would probably take a long time before he could recover.


    "Girl, you truly do not know your own limits. I''m guessing that you do not know who he is." "Then let me tell you, he is the sinner of our Spirit Domain. Poison Gongzi Ye Huan caused the This Miss to become crippled one year ago and was even imprisoned here by my father.


    After Qin Yufei finished speaking, he laughed complacently. He probably thought that anyone who heard his father''s name would probably die of fear.


    Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo sized Qin Yufei up from head to toe, and laughed: "One year ago, it was indeed Poison Gongzi''s fault, causing Miss to be crippled. But now, your leg has already been healed, so why not spare me, and give this Poison Gongzi a way out? After all, Poison Gongzi did not do it on purpose back then. "


    "Are you speaking up for him?" Qin Yufei glared at Su Xiruo coldly, as if he was already prepared to make a move.


    In this Spirit Domain, and even in the entire Midland, no one dared to disobey her words. Just what kind of bear heart and leopard had the guts did this woman eat, to not even fear Spirit Domain anymore?


    "That''s right." Su Xiruo did not hide anything, "Miss Qin, I need to bring Poison Gongzi to save my husband''s life, so I hope that you can let me go. As for this favor, I will naturally return it to you."


    Su Xiruo''s attitude was already sincere enough, but Qin Yufei still did not let him go. The long whip had already been released, and completely disregarded Su Xiruo''s words.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo used his hand to grab onto Qin Yufei''s whip, but his finger bones started to bleed from the Spiritual Strength, his attitude was still as tough as before: "If Miss Qin has to make things difficult for me, don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    "Alright, This Miss really wants to see how you are going to be rude to him!" These words instantly ignited the anger in Qin Yufei''s heart, and when the long whip once again attacked, the berserk Spiritual Skill surged, intending to solve the problem in front of him in one move!


    The Xi Yan flew out from his sleeves and used the Sakura Thrust, bringing with it a scorching Spiritual Strength. It cut through the air, forcing Qin Yufei to nowhere to dodge, and burned his arm and shoulder.

 C191

    "You ¡­" Qin Yufei curled his fingers tightly, he was a little surprised, this weak and fragile girl in front of him, was actually also his Spirit Monarch, and also, her strength seemed to be no weaker than his.


    Su Xiruo repelled Qin Yufei with a palm strike and pulled Poison Gongzi up as he coldly said: "Hurry and go!"


    This Qin Yufei had Seven Stars Spirit Monarch. If he continued to work hard, he might not be his opponent. It was better for him to leave as soon as possible.


    "Ye Huan!" Seeing the two of them leaving, Qin Yufei was flustered and exasperated, he could not take this lying down in his heart, "Wait for This Miss!"


    At this time, a ray of smoke flashed, and transformed into a kind and amiable old man, appearing in front of Qin Yufei. "Yufei, what''s wrong? This back mountain ¡­ What happened? "


    Even though he wore ordinary clothes, one could tell from the unhurried aura that he was a peak expert.


    Qin Yufei saw the situation, and immediately pouted: "Father, Ye Huan ran, and was saved by someone!"


    The old man raised his eyebrows, and his expression immediately became much darker: "Who saved Ye Huan?"


    "I didn''t get far before that woman even injured her daughter. Father, it''s still too late to give chase. We can''t let them get away scot-free!" Qin Yufei was so angry that he stomped his feet, pretending to look pitiful.


    When the elder saw how pitiful his daughter was, his heart immediately softened. "My good daughter, you don''t have to worry. Father will just bring her back to you."


    To dare to bully his daughter, regardless of who it was, he had to kill her first!


    Instantly, Qin Yufei''s tears turned into smiles, "Many thanks Father, Father will definitely uphold justice for my daughter!"


    The old man took Qin Yufei along with him and turned into a puff of smoke, disappearing from the back of the mountain.


    Su Xiruo brought Poison Gongzi and left the Spirit Domain, running all the way back to the Mercenary Guild Headquarters'' territory. However, he kept on having the feeling that the people behind him were relentlessly chasing him, and he could not shake them off at all!


    She even suspected that as long as the other party wanted to catch up to her, he would be able to do so in an instant. However, she was curious about where he was going, so she decided to follow him!


    Mercenary Guild Headquarters.


    There was not a single blade of grass growing around the forbidden area, and the atmosphere was very strange. There were many mercenaries guarding outside, as if not even a single fly could fly out.


    Yun Qian''s white robes fluttered around, and with light steps, he walked out of the forbidden grounds. The mercenaries that were guarding the front of the forbidden grounds all bent down to pay their respects, while Xuan Xing waited outside the forbidden grounds.


    "President, something has happened outside the headquarters." The moment Xuan Xing opened his mouth, his tone was burning with anxiety.


    "What are you guys playing at?" Yun Qian sighed helplessly, thinking, I just came out of seclusion, what trouble did I bring him again?


    Xuan Xing answered innocently: "It''s not this subordinate, it''s Spirit Domain. Spirit Sovereign is currently outside of Mercenary Guild, Spirit Sovereign seems to have some friction with Miss Su!"


    Hearing these words, even Yun Qian was slightly moved. Without asking anything, he turned around and rushed out of the country.


    At this time, outside the Mercenary Guild, Spirit Sovereign brought Qin Yufei to intercept in front of Su Xiruo and Poison Gongzi.


    Separated by a foot, Su Xiruo could feel that the old man in front of him was probably an extraordinary expert. Just the pressure from the Spiritual Strength on his body was enough to kill him!


    Even if they just stood there and didn''t move, the aura around them would be extremely strong!


    "Father, it''s this woman who released Ye Huan!" Qin Yufei pointed at Su Xiruo, and immediately displayed an appearance of being wronged, "Not only are we letting people go, we are also hooting with our daughter, and we even injured her, our daughter is really wronged!"


    Spirit Sovereign looked up, and his gaze landed on Su Xiruo. Those deep eyes contained an imposing gaze, which was not angry, but was capable of causing chills to run through one''s heart: "This lady, you barged into my Spirit Domain, and this sovereign will not pursue this matter. As long as you apologize to my daughter and return my Poison Gongzi to her, this sovereign can temporarily spare your life!"


    His tone was not heavy, but it had an aggressive, suffocating feeling to it. There was no intention to negotiate at all, only the tone of an order.


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, feeling a bit nervous, but he still maintained a calm and relaxed appearance on the surface: "I presume you are the famous Spirit Sovereign?"


    "Exactly." The Spirit Sovereign replied indifferently.


    "I have often heard of the Spirit Sovereign being a noble and respected place. Now that I have met her, she is indeed extraordinary." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth rose slightly, and her tone turned out to be rather polite, "Wounding your love, it''s this little girl''s fault. This little girl can apologize to your love, but this matter is also one that cannot be helped."


    "Oh, why?" Spirit Sovereign did not understand.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, then explained: "The reason I''m taking away Poison Gongzi is to save my life, so I hope that Spirit Sovereign can forgive me. This favor, in the future, I will definitely return it back to you ten times."


    "What does it have to do with this sovereign that you want to save him?" "Furthermore, this Ye Huan is the sinner for my Spirit Domain. From the looks of it, little girl, you have quite the guts."


    At this time, Poison Gongzi took a step forward, bowed and paid his respects to Spirit Sovereign, "High Lord, this subordinate already knows his wrongs, but a year ago, I definitely did not mean any harm to Miss.


    Spirit Sovereign sighed, at this time, Qin Yufei was extremely unhappy, he shook his Spirit Sovereign''s sleeves: Father, you cannot ignore my daughter''s matter, of the two of them, I will not let any of them go, we have to capture them and punish them severely!


    "Fine, Father will agree." Spirit Sovereign faced his own daughter, his ears turning extremely soft. Turning his head towards Su Xiruo, he said, "Little girl, if you give way, this matter has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, don''t blame me for attacking you together!"


    Su Xiruo did not have any fear, he took a step forward and blocked in front of Poison Gongzi, as though he was determined to take this Poison Gongzi away.


    "I think that Spirit Sovereign is also someone who can differentiate right from wrong." Su Xiruo''s tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "The mistake that Poison Gongzi committed has already been redeemed for an entire year. He is not malicious, and now that your beloved leg has been restored, just because of an unintentional mistake, you want to kill your Poison Master who served you for many years, isn''t that a little too much?"


    "Shut up! You have no right to teach my father a lesson!" Qin Yufei, on the other hand, couldn''t hold back anymore, and wished that he could personally go up and teach Su Xiruo a lesson. But she knew, she might not be able to teach this girl a lesson!


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh, "Miss Qin, Spirit Sovereign is an esteemed person with great reputation, your reputation is widespread. As a daughter of the Spirit Domain, you should also pay proper attention to your own words and actions, and not discredit your Spirit Domain!"


    "What did you say?" These words seemed to instantly enrage Qin Yufei, "You actually dared to come and teach This Miss a lesson. If This Miss doesn''t teach you a lesson today, you won''t be able to tell the rules!"


    She gripped her whip tightly and was about to make her move when a cold male voice interrupted her, "Hold it."


    Su Xiruo turned around, only to see Yun Qian''s figure appearing right in front of him in a flash, and he said to Spirit Sovereign: "Spirit Sovereign is here to pay a visit to me.


    "Spirit Sovereign and Miss Qin have something to talk about, please do not hurt my people."


    His tone was neither servile nor overbearing, and it could be considered rather respectful.


    With black eyebrows and starry eyes, her icy lips were slightly captivating and captivating. Her exquisite face was suffused with a trace of coldness.


    Instantly, Qin Yufei''s gaze fell on Yun Qian''s body, and stared blankly for a good while, as he had probably never seen such a man out of this world, Ling Feng.


    Seeing Yun Qian, Spirit Sovereign gave him some face: "Yun Qian, your Mercenary Guild people have taken away my Spirit Domain sinners, and even injured my daughter. Now, this old man doesn''t have many requests, as long as this young lady can hand over Poison Gongzi, this old man can let it go."


    Yun Qian still didn''t quite understand what had happened, so he took a step forward and looked at Qin Yufei: "Miss Qin, about your injury, I''ll apologize to you on behalf of Xi Ruo. If Miss Qin has any dissatisfaction, please come at me."


    Seeing him talk to her, Qin Yufei was inexplicably happy in her heart, but she still looked at Su Xiruo with a face full of dissatisfaction, her heart still unwilling to let him go, "She naturally has to bear the consequences of her mistakes, why do you need to apologize to me?"

 C192

    "Miss Qin, I have already apologized to you just now. I must take this Poison Gongzi away today, and I am also willing to repay you with your kindness. Why are you all unwilling to forgive me?" Su Xiruo''s finger bone was curled tightly, as if he was getting a bit impatient.


    "He simply doesn''t know his place!" Qin Yufei cursed out.


    Yun Qian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Can Miss Qin tell me what happened first?"


    "You should ask her what happened!" Qin Yufei pointed at Su Xiruo, looking extremely exasperated.


    Yun Qian turned around, his tone very gentle, "Xiruo ¡­"


    Su Xiruo then told him the entire sequence of events of this matter. After Yun Qian finished listening to it, he let out a small sigh, and his heart inexplicably felt a little happy.


    So it was all for his sake.


    "Did you hear that, she was the one causing the trouble, This Miss was just trying to seek justice!" Qin Yufei glared at Su Xiruo fiercely, not intending to let her go at all.


    Su Xiruo did not deny it and smiled: "This little girl accepts that Miss Qin is right, but Poison Gongzi, I must do it, if Spirit Sovereign also wants to be the reason, and bully the weak, then do it to me!"


    His attitude was firm, and he had no intention of giving in.


    "How dare you!" Qin Yufei could not bear to listen anymore. Bringing along the berserk Spiritual Strength''s long whip, he whipped at Su Xiruo''s face. Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, and he did not have any intention of dodging.


    In the next second, Yun Qian quickly appeared in front of Xiruo to stop her. The long whip landed on his body and drew out a trail of blood.


    "Yun Qian, you ¡­" Su Xiruo was instantly angered, and wanted to go up and teach Qin Yufei a lesson, but was stopped by Yun Qian.


    Qin Yufei hurt the wrong person, and seemed to be a little nervous, so he hated Su Xiruo even more.


    On what basis could she get Yun Qian''s protection?


    "Yufei, don''t be rude!" Seeing the situation, the Spirit Sovereign also rushed over and taught Qin Yufei a lesson, then said to Yun Qian, "My apologies, my daughter doesn''t understand."


    "Spirit Sovereign is too polite." Yun Qian didn''t take it to heart, "If Xi Ruo hurt your daughter, then just treat it as me bringing Xi Ruo back. We''re even."


    "But ¡­" Qin Yufei was immediately displeased, she had not even touched Su Xiruo yet, how could they call it even?


    "Alright, Yufei!" Spirit Sovereign immediately interrupted Qin Yufei, "Since Yun Qian has already said so, then let''s call it even."


    Earlier, when Su Xiruo injured Yufei, it was Su Xiruo''s fault, but now that Yun Qian had also been injured by Yufei, he really did not have anything to say, nor did he have the face to say it out loud.


    Qin Yufei could only glare at Su Xiruo unwillingly.


    Following that, Yun Qian''s gaze fell upon Poison Gongzi who was at the side. "Spirit Sovereign, you and I have always been on good terms, and all the conflicts today were all because of this person.


    "You''re right." Spirit Sovereign also agreed.


    It was not worth it to destroy the friendly relationship between Spirit Domain because of Ye Huan.


    Today, Spirit Sovereign might as well give some face to me and hand the Poison Gongzi over to me. To me, this Poison Gongzi still has some use, if I were to just kill him, it would be a waste of the heaven''s treasures. "Ling Chen:" ¡­ ¡­ Yun Qian''s every word was extremely polite, giving Spirit Sovereign face, but he had also made his stand clear, "Spirit Sovereign, tell me, is that it?"


    Spirit Sovereign forced a smile. Although he was unwilling, the Mercenary Guild President had already personally asked for him. If he did not give face, then it would be a bit unreasonable.


    Yun Qian continued to add: "Now that your beloved leg has completely recovered, if you release Poison Gongzi, wouldn''t that mean that your Miss Qin and Spirit Domain are more magnanimous?"


    Since things had come to this point, Spirit Sovereign could only choose to concede, "Since that''s the case, I''ll give you face then."


    "Thank you, Spirit Sovereign, for your kindness." The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly, as he turned around to command the Poison Gongzi, "Hurry and kowtow to the Spirit Sovereign to show your gratitude!"


    Poison Gongzi was startled for a moment. After knowing that he was saved, he immediately went up and knelt in front of Spirit Sovereign: "Thank you for not killing me!"


    "You should thank Yun Qian for saying so many good words for you." Spirit Sovereign waved his hand disdainfully, "Whatever, get up."


    Only then did Poison Gongzi slowly stand up, and look at Su Xiruo, feeling quite happy in his heart.


    "Father, I don''t agree!" But at this time, Qin Yufei was not willing, and did not want to let Su Xiruo go.


    Spirit Sovereign was also helpless, "Yufei, stop messing around."


    Qin Yufei took a step closer to Yun Qian, looked him in the eye, and said: "President, This Miss can not pursue this matter further, it''s only on one condition, if you, as long as you agree, This Miss will let bygones be bygones!"


    "Miss Qin said."


    Qin Yufei laughed, and stared at Su Xiruo: "This Miss was injured by her, so naturally we have to heal her injuries in this Mercenary Guild before we can go back, moreover, we need her to personally attend to us!"


    Not only did she want to punish Su Xiruo in this way, she also wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yun Qian. If she stayed in the Mercenary Guild, then she would have more chances to get along with Yun Qian.


    "I can stay, but, if it''s my wife, I''ll have my wife serve you. Miss Qin, are you looking down too much on this sovereign and this Mercenary Guild?"


    He was obviously unhappy, and felt that Qin Yufei was pushing it too far!


    As long as it was something related to Xiruo, even if it was offending the Spirit Sovereign, he would definitely not tolerate it.


    "I ¡­" Seeing him defending Su Xiruo, Qin Yufei was extremely angry.


    He never thought that Yun Qian would actually marry such a lowly girl. Thinking of this, she was so jealous that she went crazy!


    "Alright, Yufei, that''s enough." Seeing that the atmosphere was in a stalemate, the Spirit Sovereign immediately spoke up to resolve the situation, "The president has already agreed to let you stay, are you still afraid that no one will be able to serve you with your Mercenary Guild?"


    "Father, why are you supporting them as well?!" Qin Yufei was very dissatisfied, he took out his trump card, and began to act like a spoiled child.


    And this time, Spirit Sovereign ignored Mercenary Guild and Yun Qian''s face, and did not continue to cater to this daughter of his. "Or, you want to return to the Spirit Domain with father?"


    "No, no, no!" Hearing that, Qin Yufei immediately came to a compromise, "Whatever, let''s do as you say!"


    There were plenty of chances to teach that woman, Su Xiruo, a lesson. Since he was the daughter of the Spirit Domain, no one dared to touch him, from head to toe!


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll be troubling you." Spirit Sovereign even said this to Yun Qian.


    "It''s no trouble, I will send people to take good care of Miss Qin, don''t worry, Spirit Sovereign." Even if Yun Qian felt that it was troublesome, he couldn''t just say it out in front of this old man!


    Qin Yufei could be considered to be in trouble!


    "Then, this old man will take his leave first." Spirit Sovereign gave one last glance at Qin Yufei before he turned and left his original position.


    Yun Qian sighed in relief. The huge rock in his heart had finally landed on the ground.


    "Yun Qian, bring me to visit this Mercenary Guild Headquarters!" Qin Yufei''s face was full of smiles. Just as he was about to reach out and grab Yun Qian''s arm, Su Xiruo suddenly came forward and blocked between the two of them.


    "Miss Qin is injured, why don''t you come with me first? I will treat him." Su Xiruo coldly glanced at her and spoke.


    Xi Ruo clearly saw Qin Yufei''s intentions.


    Qin Yufei curled his fingers tightly, wishing he could slap her. "This Miss knows, there''s no need for you to remind me!"


    Su Xiruo ignored her as he walked forward and grabbed Yun Qian''s arm, as if he was proclaiming his sovereignty. He walked in front, leaving Poison Gongzi and Qin Yufei behind, completely unceremonious.


    "Yufei, don''t be angry." Walking with Qin Yufei, the Poison Gongzi comforted him. It was as if he was trying to calm her emotions.


    However, Qin Yufei was not grateful: "Shut up, you don''t have the qualifications to talk to This Miss, scram to the side!"

 C193

    The Poison Gongzi was helpless and could only follow beside Qin Yufei. The two of them didn''t say a word the entire time, while Qin Yufei seemed to still be angry and had a hard time regaining his senses.


    Su Xiruo personally arranged for Qin Yufei to live here, and brought her to a considerably wide courtyard, then coldly said: "You can stay here for the time being, quiet down a bit, and don''t run around."


    "Is this the attitude of you talking to the This Miss?" Qin Yufei frowned slightly, immediately becoming unhappy in his heart.


    Su Xiruo turned around and forced out a smile: "Miss Qin, I am warning you out of good intentions, after all, Mercenary Guild is not a place where you can casually play casually.


    With Qin Yufei''s berserk character, he probably wouldn''t be like her if he didn''t provoke trouble.


    Qin Yufei scoffed, still unwilling, "Leaving This Miss alone in this crappy place, is that how your Mercenary Guild treats its guests?"


    "There will be someone waiting on you in a while." Su Xiruo explained in a bland voice, "So, Miss Qin, don''t run around. If you lose your way, we''ll have to look for you everywhere."


    Qin Yufei sized Su Xiruo up from head to toe: "It was Yun Qian who personally agreed to let This Miss stay here at the Mercenary Guild, why didn''t he let him see This Miss?"


    She probably felt in her heart that a lowly person like Su Xiruo was not worthy to speak to her.


    "Yun Qian has his own matters to take care of. If you have any matters, he can ask you to tell me directly. I will settle them for you." Su Xiruo did this to prevent all hidden dangers.


    Qin Yufei curled his fingers tightly, feeling that she was deliberately making things difficult for him: "Su Xiruo, are you deliberately making life difficult for This Miss?"


    "I think you''re the one who said that it''s the opposite. You must be the one who is going to have a hard time with me." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile that carried a hint of disdain, "However, it''s best if you don''t play any tricks in front of me. Just because others are afraid of you doesn''t mean that I''m afraid of you too!"


    She would not kowtow to Qin Yufei just because he was a daughter of the Spirit Domain. Even if Qin Yufei angered her in some way, she would not swallow her anger!


    Qin Yufei looked at her clear and cold eyes, and felt an indescribable pressure. It was as if he was unwilling to accept the fact, and wanted to make things difficult for her a little longer: "You''ve injured This Miss, shouldn''t you right now personally bandage This Miss''s wounds?"


    Su Xiruo glanced at the wound on her arm and found the Healing Drug s. He casually tore off a piece of cloth from Qin Yufei''s clothes and quickly bandaged her wound.


    However, Qin Yufei naturally thought of a way to pick out bones from the chicken egg: "Su Xiruo, how could you bandage a wound as quickly as you? Shouldn''t you be a bit more careful? Do you still have This Miss in your eyes? "


    Su Xiruo suddenly swept a glance at her, and just so happened to have finished bandaging her wounds. He got up and said: "If I had been slightly slower, your blood would have been flowing already. Miss Qin, you don''t even know this bit of common sense?"


    After being retorted back, Qin Yufei was extremely unhappy in his heart: "I just can''t stand to see your attitude towards This Miss!"


    "First, look at your own attitude before coming to teach me a lesson." "This is not a place with Spirit Domain, not everyone can bear to do anything to you. If your attitude is better, maybe you can get a few smiley faces, but if your attitude is the same, do you think you can expect others to give you face?"


    This Qin Yufei, did he really think too highly of himself?


    She, Su Xiruo, would never be used to such an arrogant and despotic young miss!


    "You! You dare to speak to This Miss like that? " Qin Yufei looked at her wide-eyed.


    "What, why don''t you go back to the Spirit Domain and complain to your father?" Su Xiruo wished that she could immediately leave.


    Qin Yufei was naturally unwilling to leave just like that, his fingers curled tightly: "Heh, don''t even think of using such a method to scare the This Miss away. Where is Yun Qian, I want to see Yun Qian!"


    "Miss Qin, please be a bit more polite." Su Xiruo interrupted her words coldly, "Even your father wants to meet my husband, you still have to invite him. It is disrespectful of you to call your name, if your father knew about this, he would definitely teach you a lesson!"


    Qin Yufei seemed to have been intimidated by her words. Even though he was extremely unwilling, he didn''t know how to let it go: "You''re really determined to make things difficult for me, aren''t you?"


    "No." Su Xiruo did not comment and smiled, "As the saying goes, entering the village is normal, I''m teaching the Miss Qin the rules!"


    "You!" The Spiritual Strength around Qin Yufei''s body seemed to faintly gather, as though it was not listening to her words. Instead, it wanted to make a move and teach this girl that did not know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.


    Su Xiruo detected her Spiritual Strength fluctuations and laughed sarcastically: "Miss Qin just needs to make a move and hurt me, it just happens to be the right time for me to find an excuse to send you back to Spirit Domain."


    Hearing that, Qin Yufei immediately retracted his hand. He was angry and frustrated, but he knew that he had to calm down, and not lower himself to the same level as this lowly girl!


    Su Xiruo predicted that she would not dare to make a move, so he turned around and left. Before he left, he even said a few words lightly, "Miss Qin, rest well."


    It was clearly a concerned sentence, but to Qin Yufei, it clearly carried a strong sense of ridicule!


    "Su Xiruo!" Qin Yufei stood up and smashed all the tea cups on the table to the ground. He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent it.


    Within the inner hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    After Poison Gongzi was done with his washing, he changed into a simple set of black clothes, lowered his body and appeared in front of Yun Qian, then bowed: "This humble one is Ye Huan, greets Master Helian."


    Helian Yunqian shot a glance at him, as if he felt that the man before him had cleaned himself up. It was as if he was a different person, the dirt and dirt on his face had disappeared, and his entire face was white and dry.


    It was at this time that Su Xiruo coincidentally stepped into the Yun Sheng Pavilion. He seemed to be a little surprised to see this man who looked completely new in front of him.


    He never thought that not only was the Toxicology astonishing, the Poison Gongzi s'' beauty was also extraordinary.


    "Yun Qian, I have just settled down the Miss Qin." Su Xiruo indifferently glanced at the Poison Gongzi and spoke.


    "She didn''t make things difficult for you?" Yun Qian was somewhat worried about this.


    Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally: "She still doesn''t have that capability. Don''t worry, she''s doing well now."


    "Miss Su." At this time, Ye Huan spoke up, "Yufei has been spoiled bad since she was young, and her temper is a little bad, but her temperament isn''t bad."


    Su Xiruo helplessly shook his head: "It''s also just you that can tolerate her kind of character."


    Su Xiruo could tell that Ye Huan secretly had some feelings for Qin Yufei, but Qin Yufei didn''t seem to cherish him at all. Thinking back carefully, this Poison Gongzi had actually lived a rather bitter life, the person he loved had never seen him before.


    Ye Huan laughed helplessly, then began to change the topic: "Master Helian, let me help you with your pulse."


    He had not forgotten that the main reason that Xi Ruo had left him in the Mercenary Guild was to remove the Dissolving Gu from Master Helian''s body.


    Yun Qian did not speak, he extended his wrist to express his tacit consent, and Ye Huan immediately walked forward, using the Spiritual Strength to carefully probe his pulse.


    "Ye Huan." Seeing him remain silent, Su Xiruo took the initiative to ask, "How is it?"


    "Miss Su, Master Helian, I will think of a way to make the antidote as soon as possible." Ye Huan''s tone was light, as if a medicinal formula was not too difficult for him.


    Just as Su Xiruo was rejoicing, Ye Huan changed the topic, "However, even if there is a prescription, the eighth stage antidote is not something that an ordinary Poison Master can refine."


    In other words, even with the medicinal formula, he was still lacking a little in the Poison Master''s rankings. He was simply unable to refine the antidote out of it, or to be more precise, he didn''t have the ability to.


    Su Xiruo thought about it carefully. Letting a high level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master refine an antidote of the eighth step was indeed a rather difficult thing.

 C194

    "If you were to advance to the Poison Master s, refining the antidote would probably not be a problem." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, as if he understood everything.


    "That''s right." Ye Huan slightly nodded his head, and did not deny it, "It''s just that right now, my strength is being suppressed by the Spirit Sovereign, and I''ll need a very long time before I can slowly recover. If I want to advance to the Poison Master, I''ll probably need some time."


    He originally had the strength of a Spirit Sovereign, and when he was imprisoned a year ago, his Spiritual Strength was also suppressed intentionally by the Spirit Sovereign.


    And it would take some time for his Spiritual Strength to recover as well.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly. Just when she was feeling a little helpless, Ye Huan opened his mouth and said: "If there is a Illusory Ling Dan, I can quickly recover my strength."


    "Illusory Ling Dan." Su Xiruo thought as he repeated his words, "That''s a high-grade Sixth Rank poison, Ye Huan, I''m afraid you are the only one who can refine it."


    With her current level of Poison Master, refining a Illusory Ling Dan was still a little difficult.


    "I am currently suppressed by the Spiritual Strength. I''m afraid I am unable to refine this Fantasy Ling Dan." Ye Huan showed a helpless look, but he suddenly thought of something, "Miss Su, I''ll leave this Fantasy Ling Dan to you to refine!"


    Su Xiruo was startled, although she wanted to do it herself, she knew of her own strength, "With my current Toxicology, I am afraid I am unable to refine it."


    "Just do as I say. It won''t be a problem." The corner of Ye Huan''s mouth slightly rose, filled with confidence.


    Having such a ready-made master guiding Su Xiruo was naturally extremely willing, and immediately agreed. "Alright, since Poison Gongzi is willing to personally guide me, then I will naturally be duty-bound."


    Thus, Su Xiruo arranged a place for Ye Huan to stay. Yun Qian sent someone to deliver all the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Illusory Ling Dan to Ye Huan.


    Su Xiruo looked at the pile of medicinal herbs in front of him and felt dizzy.


    "Miss Su, let''s begin." Ye Huan spoke indifferently.


    The golden Spiritual Strength gracefully condensed in the center of Su Xiruo''s palm and instantly lit up the pill refining furnace, wrapping it around the pure yang attribute Spiritual Strength.


    "It''s actually the Yang Attribute." Ye Huan''s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. It was likely that he had rarely seen a Yang Attribute Spiritual Strength and furthermore, it was so pure and refined.


    It looks like this girl was born to be a material for Poison Master!


    Therefore, Ye Huan began to give out orders, "First refine the Illusory Heart Grass, and throw it into the Pill Refining Furnace!"


    Su Xiruo raised his hand and a Spiritual Strength appeared, he then held onto the Heart Illusory Grass and wrapped it with the golden Spiritual Strength, slowly refining it. Seeing that Ye Huan had not said anything, he asked: "Can we throw it in now?"


    "Let''s wait a little longer. The medicinal effects haven''t reached their maximum capacity yet." Ye Huan bit his lower lip, staring at the Illusory Heart Grass meticulously. After a while, he got Su Xiruo to throw him into the furnace, "Don''t be too strong!"


    Su Xiruo immediately reduced the intensity of the flames, he was almost completely focused, but unexpectedly, something happened!


    "It''s a little too weak!"


    After strengthening it a little, who knew that the Fantasy Heart Grass would instantly be burned to ashes. Su Xiruo kept his Spiritual Strength and sighed helplessly: "This medicine is truly too fragile."


    If the temperature of the fire was not controlled properly, the medicinal herbs would be directly destroyed!


    "Let''s start again." Ye Huan did not say much, and returned a stalk of Heart Illusory Grass to Su Xiruo''s hands.


    This time, Su Xiruo was exceptionally careful, he did not dare be distracted even a little, but because of the medicinal ingredients entering the furnace a little bit late, he had crippled yet another stalk of Illusory Heart Grass!


    "Again!"


    "Pay attention to the fire ¡­"


    "The Dreamy Leaf Flower will be ready in a while ¡­"


    "We can''t merge like this. Let''s do it again!"


    "Control the temperature ¡­"


    After all, this was a high-grade Sixth Rank poison, and there was a slight problem with only one step. The previous steps had to be repeated, and as the sky darkened, it became clear again. Gradually, he became much more adept at controlling the fire and the herbs.


    In the morning, Qin Yufei woke up early, and after Maidservant washed his face and rinsed his mouth, he brought over some delicate breakfast.


    But Qin Yufei, looking at the breakfast on the table, simply didn''t have any appetite at all. He scolded the Maidservant beside him: "Is this kind of coarse tea light rice used to receive distinguished guests on your Mercenary Guild?"


    One had to know that in the Spirit Domain, she had eaten all kinds of delicacies every day, and there was everything she wanted to eat. But now that she came to this Mercenary Guild, she had to suffer such grievances!


    The Maidservant at the side lowered his head: "Miss Qin, Mercenary Guild''s breakfast is always like this, it''s not comparable to the luxury of Spirit Domain, I hope Miss Qin can forgive me."


    Qin Yufei snorted coldly, not listening at all. He flipped all of the breakfast on the table to the ground: "I think these breakfast dishes are for the dogs! Call the chef over, This Miss will clear this matter up himself! "


    "Miss Qin, please calm your anger." Maidservant immediately kneeled down, "If Miss Qin wants to eat anything, all you have to do is instruct me to make a serving room for you."


    Seeing that the Maidservant did not listen to his words, Qin Yufei went forward and slapped the Maidservant hard, immediately knocking him down to the ground and causing blood to trickle out of the corner of his mouth.


    "This Miss doesn''t want to eat anymore. Who is in charge of the kitchen? Call the person over here!" Qin Yufei had an arrogant and despotic look, as if he wanted to kill someone.


    "Miss Qin." At this time, a warm and pleasant voice came from outside the door.


    In the room, the Maidservant and the mercenaries all saw the situation and bowed: "Second Protector."


    Xuan Xing took light steps and slowly stepped into the room. Looking at the messy room and the Maidservant kneeling on the ground, he could not help but feel that the atmosphere was a little tense.


    Looks like this Qin Yufei was really not an easy target. Even with Mercenary Guild, he was still so arrogant and despotic!


    If she wasn''t a daughter of the Spirit Domain, Xuan Xing would have immediately taken action and taken care of this noisy woman.


    "Second Protector." Qin Yufei glanced at him flirtatiously, "Hurry up and manage your useless subordinates, how dare you treat the This Miss in such a way, all of you are tired of living!"


    Xuan Xing tried his best to maintain his calm: "I''m sorry Miss Qin, it was our poor hospitality."


    After he finished speaking, he glanced at Maidservant who had just been slapped, and coldly said: "Hurry up and leave, are you going to continue provoking Miss Qin here?"


    "Yes." Maidservant looked at Second Protector gratefully, and immediately left, not daring to stay for even a moment longer.


    "Miss Qin, is the plain, simple rice not to your liking?" Xuan Xing continued to ask, his tone sounding extremely gentle.


    Qin Yufei still maintained a haughty attitude, "That''s right, I think that your Mercenary Guild''s food is really too terrible."


    "There''s no other way. The conditions of Mercenary Guild naturally cannot be compared to that of Spirit Domain." Xuan Xing said as he touched the vine, "I am truly sorry for making this Miss Qin uncomfortable. How about I send this Miss Qin back to the Spirit Domain? After all, our Mercenary Guild only has this condition, and it really can''t satisfy Miss Qin. "


    His tone secretly carried a sense of ridicule.


    "There''s no need, This Miss didn''t say she wanted to regain her Spirit Domain." Qin Yufei interrupted him and asked, "Oh right, where is your President? I have something to say to him, can you bring me to him?"


    Xuan Xing then found an excuse: "I''m sorry Miss Qin, the President still has matters to attend to, we are unable to meet Miss Qin now, Miss Qin should just eat breakfast first, if you''re hungry and lose your body, we cannot afford to wait."


    With that, he ordered the Maidservant outside to bring in the new breakfast.


    Qin Yufei was a little unwilling, but he still opened his mouth: "Then, in a while, Second Protector will take me to take a look around here at the Mercenary Guild, will you take a look?"


    Heh, if he didn''t want her to see Yun Qian, then she could just borrow the excuse of visiting him and secretly run over to see him!


    "No problem." With such a request, Xuan Xing could only agree, but his heart was incomparably restless.


    But there was nothing he could do. This was a quest given to him by the guild leader. Who would have thought that it would be such a problem!?

 C195

    Inside the furnace, the golden light ball slowly condensed and finally dissipated. A crystal clear Fantasy Ling Dan landed in Su Xiruo''s palm, still carrying a bit of warmth.


    He heaved a sigh of relief and said somewhat excitedly, "I''ve finally succeeded."


    After carefully calculating it, it really was unknown how much Sixth Rank and medicinal ingredients he had spent to refine this Illusory Ling Dan, Su Xiruo vaguely felt that his Toxicology was much stronger than before.


    Looking at the color of the sky outside, Su Xiruo laughed: "For the sake of refining this Illusory Ling Dan, you actually spent an entire day and night. It looks like my Toxicology is indeed not strong enough."


    "Miss Su, for you to be able to refine the Illusory Ling Dan so quickly, you must be very talented." Ye Huan couldn''t help but praise him.


    After all, for a high level Profound Rank Poison Master, the difficulty of the Illusory Ling Dan was indeed very high. To be able to comprehend it in such a short period of time, was already not an easy feat.


    "First, consume this Illusory Ling Dan." Su Xiruo passed the Phantom Ling Dan to Ye Huan, as if he couldn''t wait to recover his strength.


    "No need to rush." Ye Huan didn''t accept it, "Xiruo, place the Illusory Ling Dan back into the furnace and wait for it to absorb all of the remaining medicinal effects in the furnace. If you take it now, it will have the strongest effect."


    "So that''s how it is." Su Xiruo followed his instructions and returned the Illusory Ling Dan back to its place. He couldn''t help but ask, "How long will it take to store this Illusory Ling Dan for it to fully absorb the rest of the medicinal effects?"


    Ye Huan slowly got up, "It''ll take at least twelve hours to say that."


    So it was the entire day, that Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head. He thought, one day later, Ye Huan would be able to recover his Spiritual Strength, so he wouldn''t be too far away from the Divine Rank and Poison Master!


    At this time, Xuan Xing took Qin Yufei on a tour around Mercenary Guild Headquarters. Along the way, Qin Yufei was very noisy, and he liked to play with his mistress'' temper, making Xuan Xing feel really helpless. However, he couldn''t say anything, and could only endure it in silence.


    "This Mercenary Guild is indeed impressive, just that it''s a bit too solemn, there''s indeed nothing fun about it." Qin Yufei shook his head, just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly bumped into a mercenary approaching him.


    "I''m sorry!" The mercenary hurriedly apologized.


    Immediately, as if Qin Yufei had eaten explosives, he slapped the mercenary''s face, "You blind thing, spoils This Miss''s good mood. Men, come on, drag him down and kill him!"


    "Miss, have mercy!" The mercenary hastily pleaded for mercy, he did not seem to have expected the Miss Qin to have such a fiery temper.


    And just now, it was clearly Qin Yufei who did not see the road clearly. How could it be his fault if he bumped into him now?


    "Miss Qin, please calm your anger!" Xuan Xing hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "This little brother definitely did not offend you intentionally. It''s fine after teaching you a lesson, but the crime of death is a bit too heavy."


    With that, Xuan Xing gave the order: "Men, pull down this blind mercenary and he will be punished by thirty!"


    However, Qin Yufei was not satisfied, and coldly snorted: "Wait!"


    She stared at Xuan Xing coldly, her tone filled with disdain: "Second Protector, for you to shield your subordinates and act so recklessly, I am afraid that is not appropriate, no?"


    "I am not trying to shield you, I am just treating you fairly." Xuan Xing''s tone was neither servile nor overbearing, "Although this little brother is guilty, he does not deserve to die.


    "But the good mood of the This Miss was completely destroyed by him. If he spoils the mood of the This Miss, he will die!" Qin Yufei did not take Xuan Xing''s words seriously.


    Xuan Xing took a step forward and stood in front of Qin Yufei, as though he could not suppress the emotions in his heart any longer, "Miss Qin, please spare me! Moreover, this is the people from the Mercenary Guild, so it''s not the Miss Qin''s place to handle this, right? "


    This sentence, seemed to have completely angered Qin Yufei, she took out her whip and planned to settle the matter for herself: "If Second Protector does not take action, This Miss will be forced to punish him personally!"


    She was certain that no one in the Mercenary Guild would dare to do anything to her. If anyone dared to hurt her, she would immediately go to her father and see who dared to say anything.


    "If Miss Qin really wants to make a move, then make a move on me first." Xuan Xing stood in place, unmoving.


    Although he was usually cold and harsh towards the mercenaries, at this time, he had a clear set of rewards and penalties. Since this mercenary hadn''t committed anything wrong, then no matter what he said, he shouldn''t be punished!


    "Alright, don''t think that This Miss doesn''t dare!" Qin Yufei was flustered and exasperated, his whip landed on Xuan Xing''s body, seeing that he was not affected by it, he whipped him again, "Get out of my way!"


    Just at this time, Ye Huan and Su Xiruo walked out of the Pill Refining Pavilion and saw the scene not far away.


    "That Qin Yufei, he''s actually so arrogant in Mercenary Guild!" Su Xiruo clenched his finger tightly, upon seeing Qin Yufei''s face, he was no longer in a good mood.


    At this time, Xuan Xing had injured him more than ten times, and some blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth, but he still did not have any intentions of giving in.


    "Xuan Xing, I think you are just refusing a toast and eating a forfeit!" Qin Yufei seemed to be so angry that his head almost fainted. Another whip fell, but it did not land on Xuan Xing''s body.


    "You!" Just as Qin Yufei reacted, the Spiritual Strength gathered together and with a light swing of his hand, he was flung out along with the whip. Qin Yufei fell to the ground in a sorry state.


    "Madam." Seeing Su Xiruo actually helping him, Xuan Xing''s heart was slightly moved.


    Su Xiruo coldly glanced at Qin Yufei, anger in his heart that could not be suppressed: "Qin Yufei, it''s not your turn to behave atrociously with my Mercenary Guild!"


    Qin Yufei crawled up from the ground, he was extremely unsatisfied: "Su Xiruo, you dare to make a move on This Miss, This Miss is only dealing with a mercenary that does not respect etiquette, what does that have to do with you?"


    Su Xiruo did not comment and just smiled: How do you want to deal with this?


    "Killing without mercy, of course." Qin Yufei was burning with anger, "To dare sully This Miss''s eyes like this, you are truly unforgivable!"


    "Sure." Su Xiruo laughed, "This mercenary accidentally bumped into you, and if you want to take his life, I have nothing to say, but you have hurt my Mercenary Guild with ill intentions, if you treat me equally, should I also kill you?"


    Then, Su Xiruo added on: "Oh, that''s not right. Killing you is not enough, you still have to dismember your body, and then burn your bones to ashes. Only then, will it fit Miss Qin''s style of doing things!"


    Qin Yufei was so frightened by her words that he retreated a step: "Su Xiruo, what do you mean by that? Is anyone worthy of comparing with the This Miss?"


    Xuan Xing tugged on the corner of Su Xiruo''s clothes, telling her to settle the matter, since this Qin Yufei was someone they should not offend, if the matter was blown up, and Spirit Domain was involved, they would not be able to handle it.


    "That''s only because in your heart, you think of yourself as so noble." "But in my eyes, you''re not even worth a life as a dog. If you weren''t the daughter of the Spirit Domain, who would put you in their eyes? You really take yourself seriously! "


    "Shut up!" Qin Yufei was flustered and exasperated, he was just about to swing the whip, but Su Xiruo''s figure flashed and instantly appeared behind Qin Yufei, grabbing her from the back.


    For a moment, Qin Yufei could not move. "Su Xiruo, are you tired of living? If you leave any scars on my body, my father will never forgive you! "


    "So what?" "Qin Yufei, I can leave no scars on your body and make your life worse than death, but it will not endanger your life, do you want to try it?"


    As a Poison Master, could it be that he was still unable to deal with her?


    "You, you dare!" Although Qin Yufei said this on the surface, it was obvious that he was somewhat guilty.


    "Why wouldn''t I dare?" Su Xiruo smeared the venom on the Can Meng and slowly approached Qin Yufei.

 C196

    The Can Meng lightly sliced across Qin Yufei''s skin, and did not leave any trace of blood. However in the next second, Qin Yufei felt an abnormal fluctuation of Spiritual Strength in his body.


    "You despicable, shameless bitch!" Qin Yufei wanted to attack Su Xiruo, but when he just got lucky with his Spiritual Strength, he felt like there were ten thousand ants gnawing on his body, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable, to the point that he could not even move. What did you do to me? "


    Su Xiruo chuckled: "Don''t worry, this poison can''t hurt you, it''s just to let you rest for now."


    "Do you believe me? I''ll go and tell my father right now!" Qin Yufei was flustered and exasperated.


    Su Xiruo pretended to be helpless and shook his head: "Alright, you can go, since the Spiritual Strength is being suppressed, you won''t be able to use it, once we go to the Spirit Domain, the poison will be cured, and Xuan Xing''s injuries will not recover that quickly."


    No matter what, Qin Yufei was in the wrong!


    At this time, she was angry and angry, but she could not do anything to Su Xiruo.


    "Yufei, stop messing around." At this time, Ye Huan also came forward and advised, "If this matter gets out of hand, Spirit Sovereign will be in a difficult position."


    "Shut up. You''re speaking up for this woman now, aren''t you?" Qin Yufei glared at Ye Huan coldly, feeling extremely displeased in his heart.


    "I''m thinking for your sake." Ye Huan sighed helplessly. He knew that no matter what he did, he would be misunderstood by Yufei.


    "This Miss doesn''t need it!"


    Su Xiruo did not take advantage of her and ordered: "Men, bring Miss Qin out for another tour. Remember to be careful not to let him touch you again."


    With that, he turned and instructed Xuan Xing: "Xuan Xing, the President will summon you over, you don''t need to accompany the Miss Qin anymore!"


    Xuan Xing immediately followed Su Xiruo and left his original spot. Qin Yufei stood there and wished for nothing more than to tear Su Xiruo into a thousand pieces.


    Su Xiruo, you forced my hand! The emotions in Qin Yufei''s heart, were about to explode out in an instant.


    Since this person from Mercenary Guild was already so arrogant, then there was no need for her to be polite.


    After Su Xiruo brought Xuan Xing to the Yun Sheng Pavilion, he held his breath for a long while before speaking: "Xuan Xing, why didn''t you teach that domineering girl a lesson just now? You''re simply angering me to death!"


    "Madam, if I were to make a move, then Qin Yufei would probably cause a huge ruckus again, and cause an uproar again." Xuan Xing sighed helplessly, and could not help but express his thanks, "However, I still need to thank Madam for saving me today!"


    If Xi Ruo had come a little later, who knows how many times she would have whipped him.


    "There''s no need to be courteous, it''s just that this Qin Yufei is really a troublesome master, I''ve troubled you." When Su Xiruo thought of Qin Yufei himself, he felt that it was extremely hard to serve him.


    Presumably, Xuan Xing also hated that woman to the core of his being!


    "It''s not difficult. Since it''s the order of the president, your subordinate will naturally carry it out." Xuan Xing did not mind, but she had a bad temper and did not have much brains.


    "This woman will be in trouble for a day if she stays at Mercenary Guild. I need to think of a way to chase her away as soon as possible!" At this moment, Su Xiruo only wanted Qin Yufei to leave as soon as possible.


    Seeing his wife so concerned about him, a warm feeling swept across Xuan Xing''s heart.


    The two of them slowly stepped into the Yun Sheng Pavilion, yet there was no one around. Not only Yun Qian, but even Xuan Qing was nowhere to be seen.


    Thus, Su Xiruo asked a mercenary in the hall: "Where is the president?"


    The mercenary replied honestly, "The president and chief protector just left the Mercenary Guild."


    "Why?"


    "This subordinate isn''t too sure either. It''s more or less because the Midland hasn''t been peaceful for quite a while. The Vicious Beasts that had been quiet for a long time started to appear and act evilly again." The mercenary then told them everything he knew about the situation, "Since it threatened the safety of the Mercenary Group at the border, the president will go over to check on the situation personally."


    "Vicious Beasts ¡­" Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, feeling a little worried in his heart, "Midland border."


    "Madam, the President specifically asked you to wait for him at the Cloud Sky Pavilion before he left. He''ll be back soon." The mercenary seemed to have seen through Su Xiruo''s thoughts, and hastily added.


    Looks like Yun Qian had already thought about it long ago, that if he knew of this news, he would definitely run over to the Midland. Since he had already said it like that, then I don''t need to be too worried.


    "Got it." Su Xiruo nodded his head slightly, took out a bottle of healing pellets from the Storage Ring and gave it to Xuan Xing, "Take this first, from today onwards, do not provoke that unreasonable woman again."


    "Thank you Madam." Xuan Xing thanked him. After consuming the Healing Drug, he felt that the wounds on his body had healed a little.


    After a long while, Su Xiruo finally spoke up and asked: "Xuan Xing, do you know the real reason why Vicious Beasts exist everywhere on the Fine Star Continent?"


    Xuan Xing thought for a bit, and said with an uncertain tone: "This subordinate is not too sure, but it is said that it''s because of Phoenix Clan, and that you want to control Humans!"


    "But, that Phoenix Clan and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan have always been considered peaceful for the past few years, and the mission has always been to avoid intruding into the river''s waters. Such a blatant display of the cholera Humans, could it be that they have never considered the consequences?" No matter how Su Xiruo thought about it, he could not understand this.


    Xuan Xing shook her head lightly, "Perhaps these two races are colluding with each other and are getting more ambitious. If this goes on, there will inevitably be a war between Orc Clan s!"


    "In my opinion, if I were the patriarch of those two divine Orc Clan, I would have immediately attacked without restraint if I really wanted to command the Humans. I would have given the mission a serious injury, so why would I use such a method?" Su Xiruo felt that this matter could not be overstepped.


    "What does Madam mean?"


    "I think that there might be someone who wants to blame these two Divine Orc Clan cultivators." Su Xiruo revealed his own guess, "There was chaos at the Humans but not a big wave was set off."


    Hearing this, Xuan Xing could not help but laugh: "Madam, you really want to, but who is so capable, to even dare blame two sets of Divine Orc Clan?"


    "Of course it''s the sworn enemies of these two divine Orc Clan." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile. Although he was not very clear about the Orc Clan, he could still deduce a little.


    Seeing that Xuan Xing was still confused as he looked at her, Su Xiruo did not continue with the topic: "Alright, let''s not talk about this anymore, it has nothing to do with us for now."


    Right now, she had to think of a way to solve Qin Yufei''s problem.


    In the evening, Qin Yufei walked in front of the Pill Pavilion with an imposing manner. Ye Huan followed behind her, afraid that she would do something extreme.


    During the Spirit Domain, Qin Yufei had already done whatever she wanted to do. No one could control her, and Spirit Sovereign had even pampered and doted on her only daughter!


    "Good, you dare to be arrogant with This Miss, This Miss will burn your Pill Refining Pavilion today!" With that said, Qin Yufei''s fingertips ignited with a raging fire, he planned to burn the entire Pill Refining Pavilion!


    "Yufei, you can''t." Ye Huan pulled her back, "This Pill Refining Pavilion is filled with precious herbs and Pills, if you were to really make a move, then it would be a huge disaster!"


    But for Qin Yufei, she didn''t even know what kind of concept the calamity was. She just thought to herself that she wouldn''t need to bear any consequences since there would be people who would clean up her mess.


    "Let go, don''t stand in the way, or else This Miss will kill you!" Qin Yufei looked to be extremely impatient. The moment the ball of fire was about to be extinguished, it was immediately extinguished by Ye Huan''s Spiritual Strength.


    "Ye Huan, are you really going against the This Miss?" Qin Yufei''s head was about to explode from the anger.


    Ye Huan looked into her eyes, and said with a determined tone: "Yufei, you have to consider the consequences. If this place were to be burned down by you, do you think that Mercenary Guild would be able to hold you?"


    These words seemed to have touched Qin Yufei''s heart. Indeed, if he burned this Alchemy Pavilion down, Yun Qian probably wouldn''t allow him to continue staying in the Mercenary Guild.

 C197

    Thinking about that, Qin Yufei forced himself to stop. "Could it be, that This Miss is forced to allow that woman to bully him, and does not have any chance to retaliate?"


    "Yufei, no one wants to bully you, as long as you are friendly with Xi Ruo, I think she will definitely not make things difficult for you." At this time, Ye Huan wanted to persuade her to calm down a little.


    However, Qin Yufei would never take Ye Huan''s words: "It''s easy for you to say it, but This Miss just can''t take it anymore!"


    "Yufei..."


    "Get out of my way, don''t talk to This Miss!" Qin Yufei pushed Ye Huan away and angrily left.


    And at this time, Xuan Xing''s subordinates completely witnessed this scene and directly went back to report it to Xuan Xing and Su Xiruo.


    The sky had already darkened, and within the inner hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion, Su Xiruo was lying on his bed as he blurrily entered into his dream.


    Seeing that she had woken up, she spoke in an embarrassed tone, "I woke you up."


    "Yun Qian, why did you come back so late? Was it about the Vicious Beasts? Did it cause a lot of trouble?" Su Xiruo asked out of concern, and in that moment, he was no longer sleepy.


    Yun Qian replied lightly: "This matter is extremely strange, it concerns the divine Orc Clan, if you want it to be completely resolved, I''m afraid ¡­ I have to personally make a trip to the Phoenix Clan and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. "


    He began to doubt the authenticity of this matter. Although the spirit beasts that appeared had the characteristics of Phoenix Clan and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, they all seemed to have been possessed and lost their consciousness.


    Therefore, he had to personally confirm whether or not this matter had anything to do with the Orc Clan of the two gods.


    "You want to go to Phoenix Clan and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" Su Xiruo was slightly surprised, "But the relationship between Humans and them has always been rather tense. I''m afraid that dangers are hiding everywhere within the Divine Orc Clan!"


    Then, Su Xiruo added on: "Furthermore, have you ever thought about whether or not this matter is really related to the two divine Orc Clan?"


    "Yes." Yun Qian nodded his head slightly, "It''s precisely because I don''t know if it''s true or not that I have to ask him in person to prevent further misunderstandings."


    Even though he didn''t want to go there, the situation was getting more and more serious. If he didn''t resolve it soon, then there would be endless troubles in the future!


    "There''s no harm in just waiting for two days. I think that since there''s such a huge disturbance in Midland, it''s impossible for the Spirit Domain to not intervene." Su Xiruo was still cautious as he suggested, "If your Spirit Domain is still unmoved after a few days, you can go back to the Divine Orc Clan."


    After hesitating for a moment, Yun Qian gently nodded, "Yes, we will discuss this matter tomorrow. It is already late tonight. My wife should rest earlier."


    If he hadn''t woken his wife up, she would still be in her dreams.


    "It''s nothing. I was waiting for you to come back, so I just waited and fell asleep." Su Xiruo, on the other hand, was completely awake, his head resting lightly on Yue Yang''s shoulder.


    Yun Qian lowered her head and lightly kissed her cherry lips. The moonlight shone through the window and into the room, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.


    The next day.


    Early in the morning, the news of a fire had arrived from the Pill Refining Pavilion. When Yun Qian and Xiruo went to the Pill Refining Pavilion, all that was left was a pile of rubble.


    Xuan Xing stood at the side and hatefully said: "President, last night, it was Qin Yufei who made a move. He lingered around the Pill Refining Pavilion for a long time and had always threatened to burn this pavilion, so everyone heard him, but in the end, he was pulled away by Ye Huan. Who would have thought, she still took advantage of the deep night, and made a move.


    At this time, Ye Huan and Qin Yufei had arrived at the same time. Looking at the Pill Refining Pavilion which was in ruins, Qin Yufei was extremely surprised, "This ¡­ "What''s going on?"


    "Are you still pretending that you don''t know anything?" Xuan Xing turned his head, his face filled with anger, "Miss Qin, this is what you have done!"


    "I, I didn''t." Qin Yufei took a step back as if he was still in a daze, "It''s not me!"


    Although she did have evil intentions and wanted to burn down the Pill Refining Pavilion, she was pulled away by Ye Huan in the end and did not really make a move!


    However, why did the Pill Pavilion suddenly turn into ashes after a single night? And he, was the most suspicious person!


    Last night, you wanted to burn down the Pill Refining Pavilion, so the mercenaries guarding the pavilion heard everything clearly. Furthermore, last night, the mercenaries outside your room also said that you went out to the Pill Refining Pavilion. Xuan Xing said aggressively, "Miss Qin, why did you do that?"


    Ye Huan stood at the side, also at a loss. "Yufei, you ¡­"


    "You what you? I definitely didn''t do it. " Qin Yufei shook his head, and went forward to look at Yun Qian, "Yun Qian, you must believe me, this really has nothing to do with me!"


    Yun Qian could tell at a glance that something was amiss, but his expression did not change as he questioned, "Then why did you go out alone last night?"


    "I... I just came out to get some fresh air. " Qin Yufei bit his lower lip, not telling the truth.


    Actually, the reason she came out last night was to look for Su Xiruo''s residence, and then take the chance to drug him. It''s just that she couldn''t find him, that''s all.


    "Breathe in? Miss Qin, you must be feeling guilty. " Xuan Xing was still unrelenting, "Who would come out for a breath of fresh air in the middle of the night just in time to come to the Pill Refining Pavilion for a breath of fresh air!"


    Qin Yufei snorted, and was too lazy to explain anymore: "Whether you believe it or not, this matter, is unrelated to the This Miss."


    "Miss Qin, the evidence is there. If you refuse to admit it, then this senior will have to hand you over to the Spirit Sovereign for punishment." As Yun Qian spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiruo who was at the side. Seeing that the girl was laughing, he seemed to have understood something.


    "No, don''t give me to my father." Qin Yufei shook his head.


    "The Pill Pavilion''s losses, this sovereign will naturally ask for Spirit Domain. As for Miss Qin, right now, I can only return it to Spirit Sovereign as well. This way, it will be better for Mercenary Guild as well as Mercenary Guild." Yun Qian said this indifferently. After saying these words, Xuan Xing and Su Xiruo looked at each other and laughed, as if their scheme had finally succeeded, and they were extremely excited.


    Qin Yufei''s finger bones were tightly curled, and he was extremely unresigned: "No, This Miss says no, so be it."


    Yun Qian yelled as he ignored her. "Xuan Xing, report this to Spirit Sovereign, send someone to bring Miss Qin back to the Spirit Domain!"


    "Yes."


    Just at this time, a mercenary rushed over, lowering his body he said, "President, the Protector Ying who is by Spirit Sovereign''s side is here to pay a visit, there seems to be something he needs to inform you about."


    "Perfect, let''s settle this matter together." In his heart, Yun Qian could roughly guess the reason why the Spirit Sovereign had sent people here.


    Inside the main hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    Yun Qian was seated at the front, Protector Ying was dressed in black, and sat at the side. Qin Yufei was extremely unwilling to sit beside Protector Ying, and was probably worrying about what had happened just now.


    After knowing that Qin Yufei had burned the Alchemy Pavilion, Protector Ying also had an apologetic face. "President, I''m really sorry, but my Spirit Domain has caused you trouble. I will bring the young miss away immediately.


    Protector Ying''s attitude was pretty good. After all, offending Mercenary Guild was not a good thing.


    "Windshadow, how dare you!" Qin Yufei cursed, and interrupted him, "This Miss said, this matter has nothing to do with This Miss, you actually dare to say such words?"


    This subordinate does not know how to handle this matter. Why don''t you go back and let the High Lord settle this matter. " Naturally, Protector Ying didn''t dare lose his temper at her.


    Qin Yufei let out a cold snort, "Alright, you''re all a bunch of indistinguishable black and white people!"


    This time, she was really in pain!


    Yun Qian ignored her, but she was more concerned about another matter: "Did Spirit Sovereign send you here because of the Vicious Beasts?"

 C198

    "Exactly." "The Vicious Beasts suddenly appeared. High Lord had originally planned to personally head over to the two great god Orc Clan to investigate, but in the end, Phoenix Clan and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan suddenly attacked my Spirit Domain''s disciples. The reason was that our Midland''s four great forces have slaughtered a large area of their clansmen!"


    A trace of solemnity flashed across Yun Qian''s charming face as she faintly spat out four words, "Truly preposterous."


    He was currently in the Midland and was also one of the four great forces that had a complete understanding of Midland. Aside from Poison Sect, the other three forces have never provoked Orc Clan for no reason at all.


    But now, even Poison Sect could not protect itself, so how could he have the time to meddle with Orc Clan?


    "That''s right, High Lord also thought that this matter was ridiculous, but their Orc Clan s can actually take out evidence." Protector Ying seemed to get angrier the more he said it. "It''s really too much to argue with!" Right now, I am afraid that the relationship between the divine Orc Clan and the Humans will get even more tense. "


    "It looks like someone was trying to stir up trouble from within in an attempt to sow discord between the Orc Clan and the Humans of the two gods." Yun Qian''s words had revealed the truth and he had probably felt that this matter was not that simple.


    It''s just that right now, the Humans of the two great gods have already been completely sealed, and in his fury, the High Lord has also sealed the Midland, not allowing the Orc Clan of the two great gods to enter. Now, if you are unable to find the culprit who instigated this discord, the conflict will continue for a long time.


    "What did Spirit Sovereign say?" Yun Qian did not answer him, but asked him a question instead.


    The High Lord believes that a traitor has appeared among the human race, colluding with the beast race!" "As a result, the High Lord ordered a thorough investigation of every corner of the continent. Therefore, we would like to invite the Mercenary Guild to cooperate with the Spirit Realm in this investigation.


    "What does Protector Ying mean by this?" Hearing him say that, Xuan Xing immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart, "How about my Mercenary Guild, your Spirit Domain should be well aware, why would I do something like that?"


    "Don''t be angry Second Protector. It''s just a routine investigation, and not just a suspicion." Protector Ying gave a smile that was not a smile. From the sound of it, his tone sounded somewhat polite. "President, what do you think?"


    Yun Qian didn''t mind at all, "Since it''s Spirit Sovereign''s wish, my Mercenary Guild is naturally willing to cooperate with the investigation."


    "As expected of you." "In order to investigate the entire continent as soon as possible, High Lord has specifically instructed me to hire thirty thousand mercenaries to search for them. Is that possible?"


    "No problem." Yun Qian immediately agreed, "Please help me pass this message to Spirit Sovereign, I''ll have to trouble him."


    Since someone was worried about this matter, he could just be a shopkeeper and wait for the results to come out.


    "President, there''s no need to be so polite."


    Following that, Yun Qian continued, "Since everything has been explained, Protector Ying, please investigate as soon as possible. After doing all this, you can bring the Miss Qin back to the Spirit Domain!"


    He hadn''t forgotten about Qin Yufei yet.


    "Alright." Protector Ying didn''t say anything more and gave the order. A few Spirit Domain disciples came in, "Search through the Mercenary Guild.


    "Yes sir!"


    Qin Yufei sat at the side and glared at the nearby Ye Huan with deep hatred.


    It must be Ye Huan, it must be him who told Su Xiruo the news of him setting the fire. That''s why they were so sure today that it was him who set the fire?


    She would definitely let Ye Huan pay the price, and Su Xiruo would definitely not let things go smoothly either!


    The Spirit Domain disciples searched the Mercenary Guild for more than six hours, but in the end, they didn''t find anything special, so they came to report.


    Xuan Xing coldly snorted, and said in a small voice: "I already said it, why would there be a problem with our Mercenary Guild, to actually investigate like this."


    Guard Ying smiled at Yun Che: "President, disturbing this one is also to complete the mission High Lord gave this one. It is unintentional!"


    "That''s good." Yun Qian spat out these words, but did not say anything else.


    "Then I won''t disturb you any further." Protector Ying lowered his body slightly and said to Qin Yufei, "Miss, let''s go, High Lord is still waiting for you at Spirit Domain."


    Qin Yufei snorted and stood up unwillingly. He knew in his heart that this place wouldn''t be able to contain her, so he unhappily opened his mouth and said: "This Miss knows where to go, I don''t need you to remind me!"


    With that, she glared at Su Xiruo fiercely and took the lead, leaving the main hall. Protector Ying followed closely behind, afraid that the young miss would lose her way.


    Right at the instant when Qin Yufei left the Yun Sheng Pavilion, Xuan Xing, who knew how happy he was, couldn''t help but say: "Haha, that trouble, has finally left!"


    When they thought of how Qin Yufei looked defeated yet helpless, they felt extremely relieved.


    "Xuan Xing." Suddenly, Yun Qian glanced at him, not smiling at all. "Are you going to explain this to me?"


    His voice was slightly lazy, but it instantly caused Xuan Xing''s hairs to stand on end. He also became serious, "President, I can''t hide anything from your eyes."


    It seemed that the President knew, that the Pill Refining Pavilion fire was not caused by Qin Yufei, it was just that he and his wife planned to harm Qin Yufei, only in his heart, he would definitely not look at Qin Yufei properly, thus he might as well close his eyes and play along with the two of them.


    "How come I didn''t realize before that you were so daring?" Yun Qingyun''s voice was light, but there was a hint of pensiveness in his tone.


    The cold sweat on Xuan Xing''s forehead increased even more. At this time, Su Xiruo spoke: "Yun Qian, this is my idea. Xuan Xing is just giving it a hand for me."


    Yun Qian naturally could tell that it was not Xuan Xing''s idea just now. Even if he was alone, he would not be able to think of a way to push Qin Yufei out of the way.


    "However." Following that, Su Xiruo added, "There''s no loss to the precious herbs in the Pill Refining Pavilion. I already got Xuan Xing to take them out in advance, the burnt Pill Refining Pavilion is just an empty shell."


    Although the price paid was not small, it wasn''t too much of a problem either. After all, Spirit Domain was the compensation, so they could just treat it as a compensation for their mental losses. One day of Qin Yufei''s stay in Mercenary Guild, to them, meant one more day of torture!


    Xuan Xing was extremely nervous in his heart, afraid that the president would scold the mistress together. He hurriedly said, "President, don''t be angry.


    Unexpectedly, Yun Qian''s black eyes returned to normal as he smiled and said, "My wife ¡­" "Well done."


    Just a moment ago, he was still wearing a cold expression, as if he would be angered at any moment. He wanted to punish Xuan Xing, but why would it suddenly turn into a praise for his wife?


    There was no justice at all!


    Only Ye Huan stood at the side without saying a word, his head lowered slightly, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.


    "Oh right, I took out that illusion Ling Dan earlier as well." Suddenly, Su Xiruo thought about the incident with the Illusory Ling Dan. He took the Illusory Ling Dan out from the Storage Ring and placed it in Ye Huan''s hands, "However, this Illusory Ling Dan has only been placed for around six hours, so it shouldn''t affect the effects of the medicine too much. Take it first, and within three days, you should be able to recover the Spiritual Strength."


    Ye Huan took the Illusory Ling Dan, said thank you, and consumed it. Immediately, he felt that the Spiritual Strength in his body had become much more abundant, and had begun to reform.


    In less than three days, he should be able to recover all of his Spiritual Strength. However, the current him was evidently a little absent-minded, as he was most likely still thinking about Qin Yufei''s matters and thinking about what happened just now.


    Yufei must have misunderstood him, and felt that he must have told Xi Ruo about Yufei''s desire to burn. At this moment, he must definitely hate him to death.


    It seems that the misunderstanding between him and Yufei could not be resolved in a short amount of time.

    Spirit Domain.


    In the main hall, Qin Yufei sat beside the Spirit Sovereign as he cried about the "unfair treatment" he had received. "Father, this wasn''t something that daughter did.


    Spirit Sovereign let out a helpless sigh, "Father believes that there is nothing that can be of use to you. Father had already warned you before, that once you go to the Mercenary Guild, you need to restrain your temper a little, but you don''t know how to restrain it at all.


    "Father, why are you speaking up for them? I am your daughter!" Qin Yufei bit his lower lip, and immediately became unhappy, "My daughter did not do anything wrong, it was all because of their incompetence, and that made my daughter unhappy!"


    "Alright." Spirit Sovereign interrupted her, "Yufei, in Spirit Domain, no matter what you want, Father will not stop you, you can do whatever you want, but that is after all, Mercenary Guild.


    Qin Yufei curled his fingers tightly and said angrily: "Your daughter can''t take this lying down!"


    Spirit Sovereign sighed helplessly: "Don''t be angry, Fei''er, otherwise, this matter will only get bigger and bigger. Oh right, father just got a handful of Divine Instrument from Artifact Sovereign and it''s yours."


    The Spirit Sovereign was obviously changing the topic, and taking out a light and light blade from the Storage Ring, the luster around the blade and the fluctuation of the Spiritual Strength, it was obvious that it was not ordinary!


    "Hmph, father wants to send his daughter away so easily?" And how could Qin Yufei, who had seen too many Divine Instrument s, be interested in them?


    Spirit Sovereign was also a little helpless: "Then what do you want to do, you can tell father."


    "Father, can''t you tell?" Qin Yufei pouted his lips and said unwillingly, "Daughter likes Yun Qian, I hope father can help me fulfill my daughter''s wish."


    Hearing this, Spirit Sovereign was stunned, he felt helpless: "Yufei, Yun Qian already has a wife now, father is not willing to let my precious daughter become his concubine!"


    "Hmph." "That lowly woman is not fit to marry Yun Qian. As long as Father gives the order, Yun Qian will take care of that woman!"


    "Yufei." Spirit Sovereign interrupted her and frowned. "You are making a ruckus without reason, even though father has great authority, but he is also a reasonable person, he can''t do something as unreasonable as breaking someone''s marriage!"


    "Father, just treat it as you doing it for your daughter!" Qin Yufei was not willing to give up.


    But this time, Spirit Sovereign''s attitude was extremely resolute: "Alright, daughter, father will promise you anything but this kind of thing, you think about it properly, don''t cause trouble again!"


    After throwing those words, Spirit Sovereign turned around and left, not willing to continue speaking with her.


    After leaving Qin Yufei''s room, Spirit Sovereign ordered his subordinates, "According to the rules, you can compensate for the losses sustained by the Mercenary Guild Pill Refining Pavilion to them in any way you want!"


    Spirit Sovereign was too lazy to investigate whether this matter was true or false, since it wasn''t important. What was important was that Yufei had indeed caused a lot of trouble at Mercenary Guild, so he should compensate for it.


    "Yes sir!"


    Qin Yufei, who was in the room, vaguely heard the conversation outside, and smashed everything on the table onto the ground in anger: "Heh, compensation, father still wants to compensate them, it''s ridiculous!"


    The glass bottle shattered to pieces, but the anger in Qin Yufei''s heart was still unable to calm down.


    "Miss, please calm your anger." Maidservant at the side, his entire body trembling from fear, gently advised.


    "Bastard!" Qin Yufei slapped Maidservant on his face and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! "All of you, scram!"


    At this time, Qin Yufei had already lost control of his emotions.


    The Maidservant could only withdraw. He probably did not want to stay inside, afraid that the irritable young miss would continue to vent her anger.


    Spirit Sovereign stood outside, listening to the movements in the room and couldn''t help but sigh helplessly.


    "High Lord, do you want to go in and pacify the young miss?" Protector Ying asked for instructions from the side.


    "No need." Spirit Sovereign flatly refused, "Let her calm down and reflect on it."


    He was even thinking that perhaps he was too spoiled over this daughter of his, causing the current Yufei to be arrogant and despotic, looking down on everyone. No matter how he looked at it, it was not a good thing!


    Because the Spirit Domain had personally made a move, the Midland was also quiet for an entire month. Adding Qin Yufei who had also left the Mercenary Guild, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.


    Su Xiruo trained in the Toxicology with Ye Huan all day, and with this ready-made master, in just a short month, the Toxicology had already improved by a lot. He even had a premonition that it was about to break through the Heavenly Ranked!


    Profound Rank and Heavenly Ranked could also be considered to be a very large divide. If he really became a Poison Master, it would also mean that his own Toxicology had also risen by a very large realm.


    In more than a month, the Dissolving Gu in Yun Qian''s body had only flared up once, so it was relatively stable.


    This time, Su Xiruo was fully focused on sitting by the side of the furnace. A purplish black Pills slowly came out from the furnace and landed on Su Xiruo''s palm.


    Right now, she could already refine a Seventh Rank Poison on her own. In other words, her own Poison Master level could already barely reach the level of an early stage Heavenly Ranked.


    Ye Huan shot a glance at the poison in her hand and faintly spoke: "This Soul Summoning Pill can be considered the simplest type of Seventh Rank Poison. However, being able to refine it by yourself, also shows that you already possess the ability of a Heavenly Ranked Poison Master."


    After obtaining Poison Gongzi''s personal acknowledgement, Su Xiruo felt quite happy in his heart, "Poison Gongzi, it''s all thanks to your guidance."


    It had to be said that following the Poison Gongzi, his own Toxicology would grow at a rapid rate. With this trend, he would probably be able to become a in a few years!


    Ye Huan laughed, and did not dare take the credit: "You worked hard, and with your outstanding innate talent, I only played a supporting role."


    He had never seen such a hardworking Poison Master before. He had practically devoted all of his energy into cultivating the Toxicology and its core, and in this girl, it was as if he had seen his shadow from the past.


    Then, Ye Huan took out a list from his bosom. There were a few medicinal ingredients written on it, with a single look, Su Xiruo knew that he had not finished writing the prescription, so he asked: "This is?"


    "This is the antidote to the Dissolving Gu that I managed to decipher within this month. I''ve only written half of it, you can take a look first." Seeing her confusion, Ye Huan explained.


    Su Xiruo accepted the list and looked at it carefully. All of them were actually medicinal herbs with Seventh Rank and above, and he couldn''t help but take in a breath of cold air.


    Even if she had these ingredients, with her current ability, she would not be able to refine the antidote. Only Poison Gongzi would still have some hope.


    "Thanks for the trouble." After a long while, she lightly said these two words to express her gratitude.


    "There''s nothing to worry about. In any case, right now, the only home for me is Mercenary Guild." Ye Huan''s eyes were now a little empty and lonely.


    Su Xiruo seemed to have noticed something, and casually asked: "Are you still thinking about your Miss Qin?"


    Originally, he had been joking around to ask, but who knew, Ye Huan actually heard it in his heart, and said with a bitter smile: "Xiruo, with my current appearance, doesn''t it make people look down on me?"


    Su Xiruo did not directly answer his question, and instead asked: "Actually, I am more curious, why have you always admired that arrogant and despotic Miss Qin?"


    Ye Huan sighed helplessly, "Actually, Yufei wasn''t like that in the past, but after he lost his mother and suffered such a setback, he looked like a different person, completely different from before."


    "Oh?" Immediately, Su Xiruo became very interested in this topic.

 C200

    "If you don''t mind, you can open your heart and tell me." Su Xiruo was afraid that he would not be willing to say it, hence she asked him with a gentle tone.


    "It''s fine to say it." Ye Huan said calmly, "My parents died when I was young, I was left alone on the streets until I met High Lord bringing Yufei to wander the streets. When Yufei saw that I was pitiful, he begged High Lord to take me in and bring me into the Spirit Domain."


    "At that time, my personality was always introverted, and I had just entered the Spirit Domain. I would often be bullied, and it was also Yufei who would often stick out for me and even encourage me to grow into a Poison Master. From then on, I secretly developed feelings for Yufei.


    Ye Huan''s ink-black eyes were shrouded with a layer of profoundness, "Five years ago, Yufei accidentally lost her mother. From then on, her personality had greatly changed, and from the kind and cheerful look from before, she became moody and irritable to begin with. High Lord also doted on her several times, wanting to make up for the pain in her mother''s life. I also know that she had no interest in me and that it was my wishful thinking all along. "


    As he spoke to here, he laughed at himself. Everything that happened in the past was like an unattainable dream for him. It was like a mirage that would shatter with a touch in the blink of an eye.


    "I never thought that the Miss Qin would also have a story." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, "However, Ye Huan, I feel that you deserve to meet a better person. She has no intentions towards you, so you don''t have to be so conflicted.


    "Xiruo, you''re right." Ye Huan lowered his head slightly.


    Indeed, it was as Xi Ruo had said. For so many years, he had actually always been living for Qin Yufei and not a single day had been his.


    "Alright, Ye Huan." Su Xiruo lightly patted his shoulder, "Let everything happen as it happens, no need to force yourself, and no need to force others. You must believe that this is all the best arrangements by the heavens."


    Ye Huan nodded, and forced out a smile: "Xiruo, sometimes, I feel like you''re more transparent than me."


    "I am only good at talking. If I really meet with such a situation, perhaps I will be better dealt with by you." Su Xiruo laughed and slowly stood up, then said, "Alright, I won''t tell you for now, let you calm down and enjoy the peace."


    This Ye Huan, was also a seed of infatuation, what a pity, with Qin Yufei''s stone-cold heart, it would probably be hard to move him.


    Ye Huan watched Su Xiruo''s back as he left in a daze, and sighed helplessly.


    Su Xiruo lightly stepped into the inner hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion and saw Yun Qian Bei sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by the thick and dense white Spiritual Strength.


    She could clearly feel that the Spiritual Strength around Yun Qian''s body had become much stronger, as if it was about to break through.


    Su Xiruo couldn''t help but let out a small sigh. He thought to himself, just when would I be able to catch up to this pervert''s cultivation speed?


    Sensing the slight movement in the hall, the Spiritual Strength around Yun Qian slowly disappeared. Opening his eyes, Su Xiruo walked forward happily and said: "Yun Qian, you seem to be about to break through soon."


    "I''m afraid it will take some time." Yun Qian''s reply was still rather conservative. He then asked her, "Have you eaten lunch yet? Why doesn''t my wife look well?"


    Su Xiruo chuckled, but did not take it to heart, "Perhaps I was practicing Toxicology day and night for a while and neglected my sleep. I came here to have lunch with you, didn''t I? "


    "You still remember in your heart that there''s a husband like me." Hearing her words, Yun Qian became a little arrogant.


    From the moment she started cultivating, she had completely ignored him.


    Su Xiruo lightly tugged on his arm, revealing a flattering smile: "Husband, I''ve always been thinking about you in my heart."


    "Is that so?" Yun Qian glanced at her, he didn''t believe her no matter how he looked at it.


    "Yeah." Su Xiruo nodded with incomparable sincerity.


    Yun Qian rubbed his melon and asked, "Then tell me, in your heart, is cultivation more important, or is your husband more important?"


    Without hesitation, Su Xiruo opened his mouth and said, "Of course my husband is more important. Nothing is more important than my husband."


    She lowered her head and leaned on Yun Qian''s chest, gently rubbing against it. Her innocent eyes made her resemble a docile little kitten.


    "The answer is so straightforward, it must be perfunctory." Yun Qian did not give up and continued to be arrogant.


    Su Xiruo was suddenly a little anxious. "So what if it''s a perfunctory answer?"


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly, but he did not reply. He lowered his eyes and kissed her icy lips. A soft whisper reverberated within the inner hall, appearing exceptionally warm.


    The next day, a mercenary passed a letter to Ye Huan: "Poison Gongzi, a letter from Spirit Domain."


    Ye Huan received the letter and unfolded it. It was written in Qin Yufei''s handwriting: Ye Huan, I am currently ill, if you still have half a place in your heart, come and meet me at Spirit Domain.


    The letter was short, but every word was important. Ye Huan tightly clenched the letter as his expression instantly became nervous. He realized that even his fingerbone was trembling slightly.


    Yufei is really sick, why is Yufei suddenly so sick? Perhaps, this was a trap?


    No, he couldn''t doubt Yufei like that, no matter if it was true or false, he had to go and see!


    So, Ye Huan immediately said, "I need to go to the Spirit Domain, and I''ll be returning very soon. I won''t be able to tell Miss Xiruo and the president in time.


    "Poison Gongzi, but Madam has said that you have to personally inform her where you are going." The mercenary was clearly in a difficult position.


    "Time is of the essence, I don''t have time to tell Xiruo, I can only trouble you to tell her." Ye Huan''s current thoughts were completely on Qin Yufei, and simply could not think of anything else.


    Seeing that Ye Huan was extremely anxious, the mercenary said that he was reasonable and agreed: "Alright, since Poison Gongzi has an urgent matter, we shall take our leave first. I will inform the Madam later."


    "Sorry for the trouble." Ye Huan threw these two words aside, then turned into an afterimage and left the place.


    Not long after Ye Huan left, Su Xiruo came to look for him. Upon entering the courtyard, he did not see anyone but saw a mercenary kneeling in front of him: "Madam."


    "Where''s the Poison Gongzi?" Su Xiruo asked absent-mindedly.


    "Just now, Poison Gongzi received a letter from the Spirit Domain. He said that there was an urgent matter and that he wanted to make a trip to the Spirit Domain!" The mercenary told him the truth, and did not dare to hide anything, "This subordinate saw that Poison Gongzi was in a hurry, so he left first."


    Hearing that, an indescribable panic surfaced in Su Xiruo''s heart: "What? This Ye Huan, are you not afraid, that Qin Yufei set a trap for him? "


    Qin Yufei hated Ye Huan to the bones, especially after what happened last time, it was even more unsightly. This time, Ye Huan was specifically invited to the Spirit Domain. To her, nothing good could have happened in such a hurry!


    "Please calm your anger Madam, your subordinate ¡­ "I really didn''t think that much!" The mercenary was scared to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat, as if he realized that he had committed a grave mistake.


    "Forget it, it''s useless to say anything now. How long has it been since Poison Gongzi left?" Su Xiruo was still thinking of how to save the situation.


    "The time it takes to burn an incense stick to the left should not be long." The mercenary answered truthfully.


    Su Xiruo nodded his head, thinking, looks like I still have time to catch up to him, so without saying a word, I activated Wind Control Arts and disappeared from the mercenary''s sight.


    "Madam ¡­" Why has the Madam also left? " The mercenary became flustered, "Not good, this is not good. We should hurry up and report this to the president!"

 C201

    When Ye Huan rushed to Spirit Domain, he only saw Qin Yufei lying down leisurely on the imperial concubine''s bed drinking tea. He looked like nothing had happened, and didn''t look like he was seriously ill at all.


    Suddenly, Ye Huan knew that he had been tricked. This result could be considered to be within his expectations.


    "Yufei, why did you lure me here on purpose?" Ye Huan asked calmly.


    Qin Yufei raised her delicate eyebrows and said with disdain: "What, there''s nothing wrong and I can''t call you over? Ye Huan, was what you said before, you were loyal to the This Miss for your entire life, and now, you are actually Su Xiruo''s lackey! "


    Ye Huan sighed softly, "Yufei, I have always treated you as my master. Later on, it was obvious that you did not need me ¡­ But if you want, I can come back to you anytime! "


    "Heh, you truly think highly of yourself. You think that you are very important in the heart of the This Miss, don''t you?" Qin Yufei did not even put him in her eyes, "Then let me tell you, in the eyes of the This Miss, you are not worth a single cent, you are no different from a dog!"


    Ye Huan curled his fingers tightly, and asked without a change in expression: "You called me here today, just to humiliate me?"


    "It was you who exposed it in front of Yun Qian, I want to set fire to the Pill Refining Pavilion, it was also you who colluded with Su Xiruo to frame me for setting me on fire, right?" Qin Yufei only wanted to clarify this issue.


    She just did not understand why all the people beside her would betray her. Now, even Ye Huan was betraying her.


    "No, I really don''t know about this!" Ye Huan flatly denied it, as if he didn''t know how to explain himself.


    "Shut up, don''t think that I don''t know what you''re thinking!" Qin Yufei interrupted him coldly, "I see that you are getting along well with that woman Su Xiruo, I am afraid you have long forgotten about me!"


    Ye Huan shook his head, not wanting to let her misunderstand him: "You''re mistaken, Yufei. The relationship between me and Xiruo is definitely not as complicated as you think!"


    "I don''t want to hear your bullshit!" Qin Yufei stood up and looked at him with wide eyes, "Why? Even you wanted to betray me? "Why?!"


    The current Qin Yufei seemed to have lost control of his emotions, as he vented all of his unhappiness onto Ye Huan: "Ye Huan, do you know how much I hate you, all of my hard work has been for naught.


    Ye Huan knew very well that no matter how she explained it, Yufei would probably not be able to listen. In her heart, she was already assured that she was a traitor.


    However, he himself had never betrayed her before. He had never even experienced such a state of mind before!


    "Yufei, what do you want before you believe me?" Ye Huan laughed at himself, and calmed his tone, "Tell me, what do you want me to do, in order to prove my sincerity towards you?"


    "Unless you die!" The bones in Qin Yufei''s fingers made cracking sounds, the blade was unsheathed, and placed onto Ye Huan''s neck, wanting nothing more than to cut this man in front of him into a thousand pieces.


    In the past, Ye Huan was like a shadow that followed behind her at all times to protect her. But now, he was actually loyal to someone else, and furthermore, he was a person that he hated the most!


    She could not stand this kind of betrayal, nor could she bear it. She would rather kill him than see her own people turn the tables!


    Ye Huan was a little helpless, at this moment, he felt as though his heart had died: "Yufei, I actually know that you aren''t as brutal as you seem on the surface, and the reason why you did that is just to hide the uneasiness in your heart. I know that you might not believe me, but my feelings for you have never changed, as long as you are willing, I can always protect you by your side!"


    Not only was he not angry, he even felt a bit of heartache for this extremely insecure woman who was extremely fond of slashing her sword.


    "Enough, stop talking!" With his sore spot stabbed, Qin Yufei immediately interrupted him and lost control of his emotions even more, "Heh, Ye Huan, don''t think that you understand me so well!"


    "Yufei, I know that maybe I don''t understand you well enough, but I want to slowly walk into your heart, open it, and let you return to your original state!" Ye Huan tried to advise her, trying to calm her down.


    However, these words, to Qin Yufei, not only had no effect on him in guiding him, it was actually extremely stimulating.


    "Shut up, shut up!" "What right do you have to make me become what I was before, and what right do you have to hate my current appearance!" Qin Yufei''s emotions seemed to be on the verge of losing control.


    Ye Huan moved a little closer: "No matter what you look like, I have never changed. I want to let you know this!"


    "Heh, stop your nonsense!" Qin Yufei shook his head, "I don''t need you to lie to me about that."


    "If killing me really makes you feel better, then you can make a move. I have no objection!" Ye Huan''s heart was already dead, "This life of mine, was originally picked up by you, you gave me the chance to be reborn, if you want me to return it to you, I have nothing to say!"


    Qin Yufei took a step back, and the emotions in his mind seemed to be on the verge of exploding: "Shut up, shut up! Ye Huan, do you really think that This Miss doesn''t dare to kill you?! "


    The corner of Ye Huan''s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a bitter smile. Qin Yufei''s sword pierced through Ye Huan''s chest, showing no mercy.


    In the next second, blood splashed in all directions, and Ye Huan fell to the ground. Qin Yufei threw the Spiritual Artifact on the ground as his mind went blank.


    Ye Huan crawled closer and lightly tugged at the corner of Qin Yufei''s clothes. Finally, he stuttered, "Yufei ¡­ I don''t hate you. "


    Ah!" Qin Yufei shook her head as if she had suffered some sort of provocation, and retreated over and over again.


    She had killed countless people, but this was the first time after killing someone that her heart had been so unsettled. In addition to that uneasiness, there was also pain.


    "Qin Yufei!" At this time, Su Xiruo broke through the crowd and flew in through the window. Seeing that Ye Huan had fallen to the ground and died, he immediately went behind him to probe, only to discover that Ye Huan was no longer breathing.


    Su Xiruo stood up, with a burst of force, he gave Qin Yufei a slap. The Can Meng immediately made its move, as if it had lost control of its emotions, it wanted to kill the woman in front of it!


    Qin Yufei was already a little confused. After being swung down onto the ground, he covered his face and took a while to regain his senses.


    "Xiruo." Suddenly, Yun Qian appeared behind Su Xiruo, hugging her body, and said gently: Calm down.


    At this time, the Spirit Domain disciples outside came in, holding onto their weapons, surrounding the two of them.


    With hatred in his eyes, Su Xiruo stared coldly at Qin Yufei. "Yun Qian, she killed Poison Gongzi, her only hope for killing us, how can you tell me to calm down?"


    "Su Xiruo, it''s not your turn to teach This Miss a lesson!" Qin Yufei was also not to be outdone, he raised his weapon and slashed at Su Xiruo, but before he could touch it, Yun Shuang''s eyes flashed with a killing intent, with a light brush of her sleeves, she deflected Qin Yufei''s attack with her weapon, and was sent flying.


    "Xiruo, calm down first." Seeing that she had lost control of her emotions, Yun Qian hurriedly consoled her in a gentle voice.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, seemingly unable to accept the scene in front of his eyes. The shocking scene was extremely exciting, for a moment, he felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth was spinning, and in the next second, he fainted and fell into Yun Qian''s embrace.


    "Xiruo, Xiruo!" Yun Qian carried her up and upon seeing her pale face, he became anxious.


    At this time, Qin Yufei crawled up from the ground, and attempted to attack again.


    "Qin Yufei." Yun Qian coldly glared at her, "If anything happens to Xi Xi, this sovereign will make you pay with your life!"


    Each word was spoken with deep hatred.


    After he finished speaking, he carried Xiruo and killed all of the surrounding Spirit Domain disciples with a wave of his hand.

    Qin Yufei fell to the ground in a daze. Xuan Xing, who had followed behind, had also taken Ye Huan''s corpse away. In that moment, it was as if her soul had been sucked out of her body.


    "Ye Huan!" Qin Yufei shook her head. At this moment, her emotions were in complete disarray.


    What happened? He clearly hated Ye Huan so much, and after killing him, shouldn''t he be happy. But why, he couldn''t get happy no matter what.


    Not only did he feel heartache, why did he feel such a feeling?


    Unknowingly, tears fell from the corners of her eyes. The pain had drowned all of her rationality. Her blood-stained hands were numb and indifferent, as if they were no longer her own.


    She knew that she had probably lost the most important person in her life, but now, it was too late!


    Within the inner hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    Su Xiruo laid on the bed with a pale face. Beside the bed, a middle-aged doctor was checking his pulse, not saying a word for a long time.


    "How is Xi Ruo?" Yun Qian asked anxiously. Seeing that the doctor was silent, he was immediately angered. "This sovereign is asking you a question!"


    His heart had been burning with anxiety for some time now, and his usual calmness was completely gone.


    Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing, who were standing at the side, did not dare to speak. It was as if they had never seen a guild leader in such an illogical manner.


    The physician quickly knelt down and spoke with a trembling voice, afraid that the president would vent his anger on him. "Guild Leader, do not worry. Madam''s pulse is of the wedding pulse."


    In the next second, Yun Qian''s mind went blank, as if he had not yet reacted, "Say that again."


    "Madame is pregnant." The doctor then repeated his words once more in perfect detail, afraid that he would not understand them, "It''s been more than a month."


    Only then did Yun Qian come back to his senses. The emotions in his heart were mixed with sadness and happiness, "Then ¡­" "If Xi Ruo had just fainted, would that have an effect on her or the baby in her womb?"


    For a moment, he didn''t know what to do.


    "Guild leader, don''t worry." The doctor hastily explained, "Madam has only suffered from temporary irritation. Furthermore, she has been overworked recently, so she won''t be able to pass out. I''ll prescribe some medicine to treat her, and she''ll be fine for a few days."


    Hearing his words, Yun Qian felt a lot more relieved, "Alright, you should go and get some medicine!"


    "Yes." The doctor quickly got up and left.


    Yun Qian slowly walked to the bedside and squatted down. He gently held on to Xi Ruo''s cold finger bone. Aside from being excited, he was also worried.


    "Xiruo, you have to wake up properly."


    Right now, Ye Huan had died miserably at Qin Yufei''s hands, which also meant that the person who had the most possibility of neutralizing the Dissolving Gu in his body currently no longer existed.


    Just at that moment, a mercenary reported from outside: "President, Spirit Sovereign has brought Miss Qin to meet you."


    Yun Qian turned his head, his eyes glinting with a cold light.


    In the outer hall of Yun Sheng Pavilion, the Spirit Sovereign led Qin Yufei. Qin Yufei stood behind the Spirit Sovereign with his head lowered, not saying a word.


    Yun Qian slowly stepped into the Outer Palace with an expressionless face and did not say a word. Seeing the situation, the Spirit Sovereign immediately pulled on Qin Yufei''s sleeves: "Quickly, kneel down and apologize to Master Helian!"


    "Father, I ¡­" Qin Yufei was obviously still a little unresigned.


    "Quickly!" The Spirit Sovereign ordered coldly.


    Only then did Qin Yufei unwillingly kneel down and lowered his head: "Yun Qian, I am sorry, I was too reckless, I shouldn''t have tried to kill you!"


    Spirit Sovereign also added on at the side, "Yun Qian, it''s because this old man was incompetent that such a thing happened. This old man is truly ashamed, considering my daughter''s insensible nature, I hope you will not be too calculative."


    Yun Qian coldly glanced at the two of them and said, "The two of you need to apologize to me. Since the deceased are already dead, there is no point in apologizing. As for my wife, she definitely does not want to see your daughter, so I will have to trouble the two of you to leave!"


    It was a simple and concise order to expel a guest. There was no tone to it at all.


    he definitely did not give any face, and would not tolerate anything just because the strongest expert in front of him with the entire Humans was standing right there.


    "Yun Qian, I already know that I was wrong." Qin Yufei''s tears fell. The emotions in his heart were mixed, other than feeling wronged, there was also regret.


    "Xuan Xing, send our guest off." Yun Qian was too lazy to waste words with her and just threw down those words before turning around and leaving the outer hall.


    "Yes." Xuan Xing lowered his head and listened to the order, politely speaking to Spirit Sovereign, "Spirit Sovereign, please go back. The President is in a bad mood right now, he won''t listen to anything."


    He also secretly admired the president. Even when the Spirit Sovereign came personally to express his gratitude, he still dared to not accept the favor and sent the guest away!


    "Forget it." Hearing him say that, Spirit Sovereign did not persist any further, and said: "Yufei, let''s go back, you little girl, this time you have truly caused a disaster!"


    Qin Yufei bit his lower lip. This time, he actually did not refute her: "Since what has happened, what can I do?"


    No matter how much he repented, Ye Huan would never return to his side again.


    "Sigh, come with me." Spirit Sovereign waved his sleeves lightly, and left with Ye Huan.


    Within the inner hall of the Yun Sheng Pavilion.


    Xiruo lay on the bed, her body restless. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, as if she was having a nightmare.


    Yun Qian sat at the side, wiping off her cold sweat with a wet towel. Seeing the panicked expressions of the people on the bed, her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by knives.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian ¡­" Suddenly, Xi Mubai woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and sat up in shock.


    In the next second, Yun Qian pulled her into his embrace and softly comforted her, "Xiruo, I''m here, don''t be afraid."


    Su Xiruo lightly leaned into his embrace, and subconsciously asked: "Where''s Ye Huan, where''s Ye Huan?"


    After a long while, Yun Qian finally said slowly, "I have already sent people to settle Ye Huan in his grave."


    With that, it was like a bolt out of the blue, causing Su Xiruo''s mood to instantly drop to the bottom. She laughed at herself, "It seems like all of this is true. It was not easy for me to see a glimmer of hope, but now, just because I was a step too late, I can only look on helplessly as my hope is shattered right in front of my eyes! "


    Her tone was dejected and self-reproachful, "Blame me for not being shrewd enough to keep my eyes on Ye Huan at all times. Such a mistake wouldn''t happen, and I won''t just watch him die!"


    "Xiruo." Yun Qian interrupted her, not knowing how to comfort her. "This is the will of heaven. No wonder you, no wonder you."


    "Even the Poison Gongzi is no longer here. I really don''t know who else will be able to solve this Dissolving Gu." Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, he was angry and angry at the same time.


    Hot tears rolled down from her eyes. They stung Yun Qian''s heart. His tone was calm and pleasant to the extreme. "There''s always a way to get to the top of the mountain. Don''t worry. At least, there''s still a wife, right?"


    "I ¡­" Su Xiruo seemed to be helpless.


    Right now, she was only an early stage Poison Master. If she wanted to advance into a Poison Master, who knows how long she would have to go to.


    However, since Yun Qian had said so, she would naturally put more effort into cultivating the Toxicology.


    Looking at his eyes that were as calm as water, Su Xiruo felt a little sad for some reason: "I say, why aren''t you sad at all? You''re the one who was poisoned, but now, why am I the only one who''s feeling sad?"


    She was both sad and depressed. It was obvious that Yun Qian had been poisoned, but why didn''t he seem worried at all?


    Yun Qian''s slender white finger bones gently caressed her soft hair, "Since it has already happened, any worries are useless. Xiruo, don''t worry, I will be safe and sound. Our family of three will be safe and sound."


    "Three?" Su Xiruo''s face revealed astonishment, as though he did not know what was being said.


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as he gave a light smile. His thick palm gently caressed her stomach which was still flat, "To think that you are still a Poison Master. You don''t even know that you are pregnant."

 C203

    "I ¡­" Su Xiruo subconsciously touched his lower abdomen. With a bit of his Spiritual Strength''s perception, he actually sensed the existence of a tiny life form, "It''s true, it''s actually real!"


    In the past few days, she had been completely immersed in the cultivation of the Toxicology, neglecting her own body. It was just that she often felt weak these days, but she didn''t pay attention to it.


    She hadn''t thought that she would be pregnant. The sudden news both surprised and delighted her.


    The combination of good news and bad news made her feel all sorts of emotions.


    Yun Qian noticed the anxiety in her expression and said softly, "So, I will live even better because ¡­ And I''ll see with my own eyes that our baby is born, and I''ll name it myself. "


    "Alright, it''s a deal then." Su Xiruo laughed bitterly and leaned gently into his embrace, as though he was hoping that time would stop just like that, and nothing would change.


    Yun Qian hugged her body, hoping that everything would not happen again. As long as this girl could stay by his side, he could give up on everything.


    After recuperating for three days, Su Xiruo''s body was much better, but Yun Qian still did not allow her to get out of the bed. With the excuse that she was pregnant, he was worried that she might make too much of a move and injure the child.


    Feeling depressed, he could only give up and lie on the bed and concentrate on looking at the Poison Book.


    On this day, the Spirit Domain suddenly sent someone to the Yun Sheng Pavilion, and reported in all seriousness: "Master Helian, regarding the Vicious Beasts, High Lord has made some progress recently, I was specifically instructed to invite the Master Helian to head over there to discuss about the Spirit Domain."


    Yun Qian slightly frowned, obviously not willing to go forward. "How is the situation?"


    "High Lord said that it was a very important matter. When Master Helian went to the Spirit Domain, tell him in person." That disciple''s tone was extremely sincere, "I''ll have to trouble Master Helian to make a trip."


    Yun Qian turned his head back and looked at Xiruo who was sitting on the bed looking at the Poison Book. He didn''t want to go anywhere now.


    "Yun Qian." Xiruo seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said, "Since it''s an invitation from the Spirit Sovereign, go ahead."


    Once he left, he would be able to move around freely. He would no longer have to hold himself back in the Cloudburst Pavilion!


    "Fine." Since his wife had already spoken, he could only sigh helplessly. However, he still couldn''t be at ease as he turned around and instructed, "Xuan Qing, Xuan Xing, take good care of my wife, you must never leave her. Don''t let her leave this Cloud Swords Pavilion."


    "Yes."


    Immediately, Su Xiruo felt a headache. This guy, even when he left, he still sent people to watch him!


    After he finished instructing, Yun Qian finally left with the Spirit Domain disciples.


    Just as Yun Qian left, Su Xiruo got off the bed lightly. Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing quickly came over: "Madam, where are you going?"


    "I''ll go out and take a breath of fresh air, so you don''t have to follow me." Su Xiruo casually replied.


    "But, the president has already instructed us that you can''t leave the Yun Sheng Pavilion, and you even need us to follow you without leaving a single inch behind." Xuan Xing was a little nervous in his heart, "Madam, you don''t want to see us being scolded by the President, right?"


    Su Xiruo rolled his eyes at them helplessly: "Then do you want to see me suffocate to death?"


    "Well, at least tell us where you''re going." Xuan Qing did not dare to go against the President''s orders, and immediately asked.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip: "I will go and see Ye Huan." His tone immediately became more serious.


    "So that''s how it is." Xuan Xing laughed, "Madam, you should have said it earlier. The Poison Gongzi is buried on the side of the mountain, we will take you there."


    "Yes."


    The three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain on the side of the Mercenary Guild. Su Xiruo turned around and said to the two of them, "You guys wait here for me.


    Xuan Qing and Xuan Xing looked at each other and was a little worried, "But, it''s too dangerous for you alone. It''s better for us to accompany you."


    "Yeah, we can''t explain ourselves to the guild leader like this!"


    Su Xiruo looked at the two people singing at the same time, chattering non-stop like monks chanting scriptures. He suddenly became a little impatient: "Alright, the two of you are almost done!"


    "Madam, we are doing this for your own good." Xuan Xing still did not give up.


    Su Xiruo interrupted her and said: "If you follow me again, and your guild leader returns, I will tell him that the two of you have treated me too harshly. At that time, I will see how you will explain yourselves!"


    Immediately, the two of them seemed to have been frightened by her words. They both shut their mouths and no longer muttered, "Then madam, please be careful."


    Su Xiruo did not answer nor did he look back as he went up the mountain. After shaking off two of his followers, he suddenly felt that the entire world had become much quieter!


    In front of Ye Huan''s grave, Su Xiruo was wearing a long blue dress. A light breeze occasionally brushed against her soft, ink-black hair, and she stood there, looking a little desolate.


    He thought about how Ye Huan was still a lively and lively person a few days ago, and how he often asked for pointers to refine poisons together. In just a few days, there was only a stone tablet left, how sad would it not be?


    "Ye Huan." Su Xiruo squatted down and said indifferently, as if he was talking to himself, "You can be considered a pitiful person. I originally thought that saving you was a waste of time and effort, but who would have thought that I would be able to save you once, but I was still unable to save you twice."


    "Perhaps, your fate is like this in the first place. Although you did not write down the entire antidote for the Dissolving Gu, I am still quite grateful to you in my heart. Here, let me toast to you ¡­"


    With these words, she opened the wine jug and sprinkled the wine in front of the tombstone. Her eyes were now filled with emptiness and helplessness.


    Perhaps, Ye Huan had already reached the place he should be going.


    After standing in front of the tombstone for a long time, just as Su Xiruo was about to go down the mountain and return, the Azure Feather in her arms suddenly had a reaction. She took it out and saw that it was from the Mercenary Academy.


    Mu Jin... The familiar name suddenly popped up on the paper. Mu Jin had actually found it! Su Xiruo''s eyes immediately lit up, uncontrollably excited.


    At that time, she had searched through the entire Academy, but was unable to find any news of Mu Jin. She never thought that after such a long time, they would actually help her find Mu Jin!


    Therefore, without delay, Su Xiruo immediately activated Wind Control Arts and headed towards the Mercenary Academy.


    The moment Yun Qian stepped out of the Mercenary Guild realm, he immediately sensed that there was a sneaky figure behind him.


    It really was lingering!


    Immediately, he unleashed a force which caused the Red Fox to immediately appear in front of him. It frantically knelt down, "Two ¡­ Second Prince. "


    Oh no, he was actually discovered by the second prince. It seemed like he still couldn''t get too close to him!


    "Is this game of hide-and-seek fun?" Yun Qian asked coldly, as though he had long since discovered the existence of the Red Fox, only that he had always turned a blind eye to it.


    However, the Red Fox was like a fly, everywhere it was, so he had to get rid of it as soon as possible!


    "Second Prince, you''ve misunderstood ¡­" The Red Fox didn''t know how to reply. "This subordinate has no ill intentions."


    A trace of frivolity flashed across Yun Qian''s eyes, "It''s not that this noble one doesn''t dare to quarrel with your First Prince, it''s just that I''m disdainful. Go back and tell Yun Lichen, if you dare do this again, this sovereign will kill every single one of you!"


    With that, a berserk white Qi landed on the Red Fox''s body, causing it to fly out. He spat out a mouthful of blood, he had no doubt that if Helian Yunqian wanted to kill him, he would not be able to do so.


    The reason why he was left with his life, was only to let him report to the First Prince.


    "Yes." Red Fox did not dare to resist, and bowed his head as he replied.


    Yun Qian was not willing to waste any more time on this, so he turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from the Red Fox''s line of sight.

    Poison Sect.


    Han Ye knelt in front of the forbidden grounds, bowed his head, and said, "Welcome High Lord out."


    After three to four months, High Lord''s injuries had finally healed and he successfully came out of seclusion. Unfortunately, his current Poison Sect was no longer the same as before!


    Jiang Lingye looked at this mess of Poison Sect, his eyes filled with fury and hatred: "Han Ye, my good protector, I entrust my Poison Sect to you to take care of. But who would have thought that you would actually take care of it to such an extent!"


    Han Ye didn''t dare to refute half a sentence, "This subordinate is useless, and was unable to seek revenge. High Lord, please punish me."


    Jiang Lingye looked at him with wide eyes, and sent him flying with a palm. Han Ye immediately vomited blood, but he did not dare resist, as he silently waited for High Lord''s punishment.


    "Don''t think that this noble one doesn''t know about things that you eat the inside and the outside. You have helped Su Xiruo escape time and time again!" Jiang Lingye exposed him with his cold words, "I never thought that after so many years of painstakingly nurturing you, this sovereign would actually nurture an ingrate."


    "High Lord, this subordinate knows his wrongs." Han Ye had nothing to say and could only admit his guilt, "That''s right, it was indeed this subordinate who was soft-hearted and let Xixi go a few times. This subordinate is willing to bear all the consequences!"


    "Heh, your life is not worth much!" Jiang Lingye curled his fingers tightly, "In this noble one''s eyes, betrayal is the most intolerable. But now, all of you actually want to betray this noble one!"


    Han Ye slightly knitted his brows, expressing his determination, "High Lord, it is this subordinate''s fault. In the future, this subordinate will definitely serve the High Lord with all my heart. In any case, this subordinate''s life was picked up by the High Lord anyway! "


    Ten years ago, his family had lost all their people and the High Lord was the one who kept him in the Poison Sect.


    "Hahaha." Jiang Lingye could not help but laugh, "That''s right, your life was indeed picked up by this sovereign. But, do you not want to know, whose hand your entire clan ended up dying miserably?"


    A trace of craftiness flashed across his eyes.


    "High Lord, do you know?" Han Ye hurriedly asked.


    All this time, he didn''t know which sect had killed his clansmen. Therefore, even if he wanted to take revenge, he wouldn''t be able to find a target to take revenge on.


    "Hahaha, of course I know. Not only that, I also know the details of your tribesmen being killed!" Jiang Lingye laughed proudly, the meaning behind his tone was very obvious.


    Han Ye was stunned and was a little surprised, "High Lord, your words ¡­ What do you mean by that? Could it be that the destruction of my entire clan has something to do with you? "


    If Jiang Lingye had not personally said that, Han Ye would never suspect High Lord, no matter what. Because in his heart, High Lord was the person he respected the most, and was also the person he was closest to the most!


    But at this time, Jiang Lingye was about to bring this matter up again. He wanted Han Ye to sink into the pain from before, and let him know that betraying himself, was definitely not a good ending.


    Therefore, Jiang Lingye did not hide anything, "That''s right, all of your clansmen died in the hands of my Poison Sect.


    These short words were like a thunderbolt that struck Han Ye''s heart. He shook his head, as if he was unwilling to believe the truth, "High Lord, you ¡­ Why are you doing this? "


    "Why do you need to ask?" Jiang Lingye scoffed, and only felt that his words were a little laughable. "I just feel that it''s a bit of an eyesore and a hindrance to this sovereign, so this sovereign naturally wants to eliminate him!"


    The cold night finger bone was curled up tightly, and for a moment, he didn''t know how to calm down. "My entire clan, over a thousand people, died miserably like this at the hands of Poison Sect ¡­ High Lord, why are you so vicious? "


    "Vicious?" Jiang Lingye did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, "All of the things that you did for this sovereign, which one of them was not vicious? What right did he have to blame the Self? Aren''t you a malicious person yourself! "


    "No, why did this happen? You ¡­ Why did you do that? " The High Lord he had always respected was actually his mortal enemy!


    No one would be able to accept such a thing!


    "Hahaha, that''s why I took you in later on." Jiang Lingye completely ignored his emotions and continued, "Because you have no relatives by your side, and you have nothing to worry about.


    "High Lord feels that this type of me should be easier to control." Han Ye seemed to have already guessed at something, and his heart immediately felt very upset.


    Jiang Lingye gave a noncommittal smile, "It seems that you''re not too stupid after all."


    Han Ye widened his eyes and staggered, almost not stopping at all. "Why is High Lord telling me all these now?"


    "Before, I hid it from you because I wanted you to serve me and cover my head with blood. But now, you actually betrayed me for a little girl." When Jiang Lingye thought of this, killing intent appeared in his eyes, "So, I want you to dig out all the painful memories from before, and let you have a taste of how it feels like for everyone to leave their loved ones!"


    Following that, Jiang Lingye added, "Back then, when your little brother was just born, he had only reached the full moon. Unfortunately, he was still unable to escape from this sovereign''s grasp in the end, and fell to the fate of having his head separated from his body.


    When he thought about the scene of the blood flowing like rivers, Poison Sovereign was extremely excited, almost twisted!


    "You ¡­ You are simply insane! " As Han Ye spoke, he was already on the verge of losing his rationality. "My clan has no enmity with you, yet you want to kill them. Extremely brutal. A person like you is simply unworthy of being the head of a sect!"


    Finished speaking, he used the Cold Night Divine Blade and was about to attack Jiang Lingye, but was repelled by his palm, leaving him with no strength to retaliate!


    "It is not up to you to judge whether or not this sovereign is worthy!" Jiang Lingye looked down at him condescendingly, "The moment you helped that girl, you betrayed this sovereign!"


    Han Ye''s eyes revealed some stubbornness, and also some unwillingness, "Forgive my boldness, but I feel that Xi Ruo didn''t do anything wrong. Instead, it''s you who are overbearing, forcing two people who originally loved each other to a dead end!"


    "Hahaha, you''re already speaking up for Su Xiruo?" Jiang Lingye was flustered and exasperated, "I think you have been betraying me for a long time now!"


    "At the very least, if you are a human, then you are!" At this moment, Han Ye was already fearless, "Kill me too!"


    "You want to die?" It''s not that easy. This sovereign will make you wish that you were dead! " Jiang Lingye raised a Poisonous Vine, tightly locking Han Ye''s body. For a moment, Han Ye was unable to move.


    Although he knew that High Lord would definitely not let him off easily, his heart had already turned to ashes.


    "Someone, come!" Jiang Lingye coldly ordered, "Bind Han Ye''s hands and feet, and imprison him within the Snake Pond!"


    Han Ye didn''t say a single word, and his eyes held no trace of fear.


    "Han Ye, you can enjoy your Poison Sect alone. No one will come to save you." Jiang Lingye''s face, revealed a little cunning.


    "Where are you going?" Han Ye opened his eyes wide and hurriedly asked. He was probably worried that this fellow would go to the Cholera Midland, or even the entire Fine Star Continent, after he came out of seclusion!


    Jiang Lingye did not want to answer his question. "Where I want to go, it has nothing to do with you.


    "Yes sir!"


    Waiting until Han Ye was escorted down, Jiang Lingye then continued to give orders, "Summon the two elders and the remaining Poison Sect disciples. Follow this sovereign and immediately leave the Poison Sect secretly!"


    Right now, his Poison Sect were practically in ruins, and with Su Xiruo and Helian Yunqian together, he was still not Helian Yunqian''s match.


    However, he would never forget the humiliation he had suffered previously. Sooner or later, he would return once more to exact vengeance on Su Xiruo and Su Xiruo, letting them know that offending him, Jiang Lingye, would cost ten times, or even a hundred times the price!

 C205

    Main Hall of the Spirit Domain.


    Spirit Sovereign and Yun Qian sat facing each other. After the maid served them tea, she left with a meaningful glance.


    "Regarding the Vicious Beasts, has Spirit Sovereign made any progress recently?" After a long while, Yun Qian was the first to speak as he randomly asked.


    "That''s right." Spirit Sovereign did not deny it, "This sovereign had people investigate in the Midland for a long time but they did not find any results. After that, we might as well expand the scope of the investigation and search all over the Fine Star Continent.


    Then, the Spirit Sovereign patiently explained, "This sovereign has investigated and discovered that there have been very many customs businesses these days with very few medicines and gold and silver coming in and out. It''s very unusual."


    "Profound Yin Empire." Yun Qian repeated these four words thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.


    Amongst the Four Great Empires of the Fine Star Continent, the one that he had the least impression of was probably the Profound Yin Empire. That Empire was extremely low-profile and rarely cooperated with the other three empires, but the development of their national power did not slow down in the slightest. It even made others feel that their combined strength was faintly stronger than the other three Empires!


    "The Profound Yin Empire enters the sea, and that sea region is the realm of the Mermaid s." The Spirit Sovereign continued to explain, "So this sovereign suspects that the Profound Yin Empire and the Mermaid race may have reached a special agreement."


    Yun Qian slightly frowned, "That''s not impossible."


    "Of course, this is only benzun''s guess." After Spirit Sovereign said this, his gaze landed on Yun Qian''s body, "Yun Qian, normally speaking, the empire''s customs and Mercenary Group contribution is very large, so, maybe we can obtain some important information from the Profound Yin Empire."


    Yun Qian nodded his head slightly, and finally understood the Spirit Sovereign''s real intention: "I got it, I''ll personally go to Profound Yin Empire then."


    Of the four empires'' Mercenary Guild, only the branch chairman had the least contact with the headquarters. Every time he came, he would report his work and he would never stay too long.


    Could it be that something had happened to the Mercenary Guild?


    "In that case, I''ll have to trouble you to make a trip." Spirit Sovereign also had the same intention.


    Su Xiruo quickly arrived at the Mercenary Academy and met up with Xiao Muran. As soon as she landed, she felt the Spiritual Strength around Xiao Muran''s body, it was completely different from before.


    "I never thought that after a few months of absence, you would have already advanced your Spirit Monarch." The corner of Su Xiruo''s lips slightly rose as he deliberately teased.


    However, Xiao Muran''s expression was grave, and couldn''t laugh no matter what, "Xiruo ¡­"


    "Why?" Su Xiruo suddenly felt that it was strange, "It''s been a while since we last met, why do you seem to be so serious now? Why don''t you take me to see the Heavenly Ranked Class Three first? "


    Oh right, the current Heavenly Ranked Class Three should have already risen to the level of the Senior Class. In the blink of an eye, it could already be said that it was incomparable to the past!


    Xiao Muran sighed helplessly: "I hope that after you find out about Mu Jin''s matter, you won''t be so agitated and calmly accept the truth."


    Hearing his words, Su Xiruo''s smile immediately stiffened at the corner of her mouth, as she had a bad premonition in her heart: "What''s wrong?"


    Could it be that something had happened to Mu Jin? She silently prayed in her heart that nothing would happen to Mu Jin.


    Seeing that Xiao Muran was silent, Su Xiruo anxiously asked: "You send word to me, Mu Jin has already been found, where is he now, quickly bring me to him!"


    Xiao Muran lowered his head slightly, bit his lower lip, and finally spoke the truth: "Mu Jin, is already dead."


    With that sentence, he pushed Su Xiruo to the edge of the cliff and into the bottom of the valley. How, how is this possible? Mu Jin is a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, how can he die so easily? "


    "We''ve found the corpses. It''s Mu Jin. It can''t be fake." Xiao Muran''s voice became lower and lower. At this moment, even he did not know how to comfort Xiruo after what had happened.


    "Where''s the body?" Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly and he asked. His heart was no longer at ease.


    "Xiruo, if you ¡­ Once you know the truth of the matter, you must not be sad or overly emotional, because we have yet to figure out the truth of the matter. " Xiao Muran seemed to know a bit of the situation and agreed on these words beforehand.


    With this being the case, Su Xiruo was unable to listen to him at all, and asked coldly: "Where is the corpse?"


    "Follow me." Xiao Muran did not speak anymore, and pulled Su Xiruo to a familiar hall in the Mercenary Academy.


    Su Xiruo recognized the place instantly and was a little surprised: "This ¡­ Isn''t this the side hall where Yun Qian resided previously? "


    Could it be that Mu Jin''s death was related to Yun Qian, and thus, Xiao Muran had just said those words to him, allowing him to be mentally prepared?


    "That''s right." Xiao Muran did not deny it, "I found the buried corpse of the Chinese Kite in the backyard of the side palace that is the Master Helian.


    Su Xiruo rushed to the backyard, only to see that in the empty space in the backyard, the corpse of the Chinese Kite had long been torn into pieces, and was dismembered into pieces.


    Su Xiruo''s body trembled slightly, and got a little closer. After confirming that it was Mu Jin''s corpse, his trembling hand moved closer, and after a closer inspection, all of its Beast Core s were gone.


    And the Spiritual Skill on the Chinese Kite''s body was exactly the same as Yun Qian''s Spiritual Skill, its killing method was also exactly the same. Furthermore, she could clearly distinguish that the killer was also a Yin Attribute of the eighth step!


    On the Chinese Kite''s corpse, a distinct and sinister bloody wound was left on its neck. It was a fatal wound!


    "This... What exactly is going on? " Su Xiruo immediately fell into chaos. His expression changed from sadness to surprise, "No, not Yun Qian. Yun Qian would never do something like that. He won''t not tell me. "


    "Xiruo, we are also unwilling to believe that it was the Master Helian who did this. However, all of this is too perfect." Xiao Muran sighed helplessly, "Even if someone wants to frame Master Helian, think about it, who can imitate a set of Expert of Spirit God?"


    The methods of Expert of Spirit God and Spiritual Skill, weren''t things that an ordinary person could imitate!


    This Fine Star Continent could be counted on one hand. To have a Expert of Spirit God that was similar to Yun Qian''s level, attributes, strength, and Spiritual Skill, and even a Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Spirit Fox, if one carefully thought about it, was indeed something that was close to impossible!


    "But, he ¡­ Why would he do that, he has no reason to kill Mu Jin. " Su Xiruo shook his head, even though he had confirmed that all the information was consistent, he was still unwilling to believe that Yun Qian had done it, "If he had done it, then he must ¡­ "He''ll tell me!"


    "Xiruo, in my heart, I also believe that the Master Helian isn''t that kind of person, but this matter is too strange." Xiao Muran lowered his head, at a loss of what to do.


    Su Xiruo''s hands could not help but tremble, as though he had thought of something in an instant, "Oh right, Dean Lei, Dean Lei must know, he must know if there are people similar to Yun Qian''s Spiritual Strength on this continent!"


    Thus, Su Xiruo brought Mu Jin''s dismembered corpse and went to find Lei Yuntian.


    Lei Yuntian carefully examined the corpse, his face revealing a look of disbelief: "This ¡­ Was this killed by Yun Qian? "


    "The dean also thinks that this is Yun Qian''s doing?"


    Lei Yuntian said with an affirmative tone, "In this entire Fine Star Continent, other than Yun Qian, this old man will not think of a second person who can use the Glazed Flame Ice Curse!"


    Furthermore, their attributes and levels were exactly the same. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?


    Hearing that, Su Xiruo almost stopped, it was Xiao Muran who stepped forward to support her, barely stopping.


    "It can''t be, how could it be like this, how could it be like this? Yun Qian will not, he will not! " She could not believe it, nor did she want to believe it. This was all done by Yun Qian, but all of this was far too perfect a coincidence. It was so perfect that others could not imitate it!

 C206

    Seeing that Su Xiruo''s reaction was a little intense, Lei Yuntian hurriedly changed his words, "Perhaps, there really is someone who is completely similar to Yun Qian in this world."


    However, the chances of this happening were too slim. It would even be laughable to say it out loud.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers tightened into a ball as hot tears rolled down her face. It completely destroyed her last bit of emotion!


    Mu Jin died just like that. They had once made a contract with each other to accompany each other for a lifetime, but now, she couldn''t even protect her own spirit beast.


    The scenes from the past continuously appeared in her mind, as if they were fleeting memories. Bloody reminders reminded her, that innocent and kind Mu Jin, was lost to her forever!


    Why did it turn out to be Yun Qian, why was it that all the blame was pointed at Yun Qian, why did he do this, why didn''t he tell her?


    But, Mu Jin had been dismembered by the five horses, and the Beast Core was gone, the rare Yin Attribute!


    Su Xiruo did not dare to continue thinking about it. Shaking his head, he coldly spoke: "I want to personally find him and ask him!"


    Now, no matter how much she guessed, it was just a guess. If she wanted to know the truth of the matter, she could just personally go and ask Yun Qian!


    Su Xiruo hurriedly left the Mercenary Academy, and a Red Fox appeared in front of her, transforming into a human body with a sly smile: "Miss Su, how have you been!"


    "It''s you again!" With one glance, Su Xiruo could tell that this Red Fox was the person who had chased him all the way to Spirit Domain. "I don''t have the time to tangle with you today, you better get out of my way!"


    "Yes, that''s me." The Red Fox laughed, "You and our Lord have gotten along quite well!"


    "Your majesty?" Su Xiruo didn''t quite understand what he was saying.


    The Red Fox slightly nodded her head: "Heh, right, you don''t seem to know yet, but your husband Yun Qian is our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan''s second prince.


    "Yun Qian, he''s the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan ¡­" Su Xiruo secretly repeated these words, his face revealed astonishment, "Why is it that I''ve never heard him mention it before? He clearly told me that both his father and mother died, and he was unaccompanied by any relatives ¡­"


    Seeing that she was starting to suspect him, the Red Fox continued to exaggerate: "That''s just a lie, you really believe it, the Empress is doing well right now, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is peaceful and the Second Highness was just on the spur of the moment, playing with a human like you. Not long later, he will naturally return to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan."


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly together and retorted coldly: "Heh, if I wanted to know, I would naturally ask Yun Qian myself. I don''t need you here to cause trouble and sow discord!"


    "Haha, if I don''t tell you these things, the Second Prince will not tell you." The Red Fox knew, but in her heart, she had already suspected something, so she continued, "Also, that the Chinese Kite''s Yin Attribute was just used for the Second Prince to increase his strength. His Highness has never told you the truth, afraid that you would be hurt.


    "Enough, stop talking!" Su Xiruo interrupted him, as though she could not take it any longer, "Why are you telling me all this? Could it be that it''s to sow discord between your second prince and me? "


    "Heh, of course." "A lowly human like you is not worthy of our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Of course I hope you can leave from the Second Prince''s side. The Second Prince has never regarded you as anything. Otherwise, he would not have kept all of this a secret from you! "


    For a moment, it was as if Su Xiruo had suffered too much stimulation, and was unable to accept it. "Shut up, don''t say anymore, don''t say anymore! Right or wrong, I will judge for myself, there is no need for you to tell me! "


    Throwing those words, Su Xiruo turned and left, heading towards the Midland. The Red Fox watched her back as she left in a hurry, and couldn''t help but laugh sinisterly.


    Looking at that girl''s appearance and her own words, she had more or less heard them!


    Profound Yin Empire.


    The Branch President Mo Yu stood in front of His Highness and reported the situation of the past year to Yun Qian.


    As for Yun Qian, who was sitting in the main seat, he carelessly opened the Mercenary Guild records book. His delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, as if he had discovered something amiss.


    "Guild leader, this subordinate has said everything that needs to be said." After Mo Yu finished reporting, he saw that Yun Qian was still calm and composed, and he became even more nervous.


    Why would the president suddenly come to the Profound Yin Empire, could it be, to investigate something?


    "Yes." After a long while, Yun Qian slowly raised his eyes and said, "Mo Yu, in these past three months, why is the area where the trade of the seas and seas is empty, without any records?"


    Mo Yu seemed to have already thought of how to answer that, "Reporting to President, in the past three months, Vicious Beasts have appeared all over the place, affecting the trade in the sea, so there is almost no transaction.


    "Got it." Yun Qian replied lightly, his heart was starting to become suspicious.


    The Spirit Sovereign said that the Profound Yin Empire had been trading at the customs very frequently, but Mo Yu actually said that there was no trade in recent days!


    The spy that he placed beside Mo Yu was no different from Spirit Sovereign, so he said that Mo Yu had a problem.


    Seeing that he had managed to hide it from her, Mo Yu couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief. The guild leader didn''t seem to suspect anything. As the overall guild leader, he was always sloppy.


    Yun Qian did not immediately expose Mo Yu. After all, right now, he could not see what was going on, so he slowly stood up, "Mn, this sovereign is only passing through here, and came over to take a look. This Profound Yin Empire Division, your jurisdiction over it is not bad, so this sovereign is relieved."


    "Thank you, Guild Leader, for your consideration." Mo Yu slightly smiled, he didn''t know how happy he was in his heart.


    "Alright, this sovereign shouldn''t stay any longer. It''s time to leave." Yun Qian also didn''t want to stay in this damned place for too long. After throwing out those words, he left the Mercenary Guild with a look of indifference.


    "We send you off, President!" Mo Yu raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of strange treachery.


    When Yun Qian left the Mercenary Guild, two mercenaries dressed as Dark Guard s appeared in front of Yun Qian in a deserted area.


    "This Mo Yu is problematic, the two of you keep an eye on him, if anything is amiss, inform me at any time." Yun Qian instructed plainly.


    "Yes, sir!"


    Every Empire''s Mercenary Guild Branch, Yun Qian would place one or two of his own spies in there. Normally, he would not interfere in the division''s matters, it was just to make it easier for him to understand and control the situation in the branch.


    These two, were the informants planted in the Profound Yin Empire, and up till now, Mo Yu had not discovered them.


    "In addition, inform Spirit Sovereign of the information this sovereign has gathered, so that he can be at ease." Yun Qian''s thoughts were quite thoughtful. That way, he wouldn''t have to personally run over to the Spirit Domain again.


    "Yes sir!"


    After giving out his instructions, Yun Qian rode the wind and left the Profound Yin Empire realm, intending to use his Midland first.


    When Su Xiruo returned to the Yun Sheng Pavilion, his eyes were still red and his body couldn''t help but tremble a little.


    Having received too much information in one go, she had yet to completely regain her senses. She did not know what she should believe, what she should not believe.


    But she only knew that she had already lost Mu Jin forever, and the person who was lying on her pillow all along, was unexpectedly the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, whom he had never mentioned to her before!


    exactly why he came to the Humans, he had never told him about everything about it!


    "Madam, you''re finally back!" Seeing that Su Xiruo had returned, Xuan Xing immediately went forward to welcome him, "Are you scaring me and Xuan Qing to death? We thought that you had gone missing, we searched for a long time on the mountain but still couldn''t find your shadow, and almost sent troops to look for someone!"


    Su Xiruo absentmindedly raised her head, looked at him, and asked: "Where''s Yun Qian?"

 C207

    "Guild leader, he hasn''t come back yet." Xuan Xing seemed to have noticed that her emotions were a little strange, and immediately asked with concern, "Madam, what''s wrong? Did you suffer some grievance outside, why does it seem as if you were crying? "Tell me, who bullied you, I ¡­"


    "Xuan Xing." Su Xiruo said indifferently, interrupting him. She parted her lips and tried to calm herself down, "I''m fine, you can leave first, I want to calm down by myself."


    Xuan Xing was at a loss of what to do. "Madam, looking at you like this, I''m a little worried."


    "I just came back from the Mercenary Academy. Just tell me to calm down by myself." Su Xiruo didn''t want to speak anymore. At this point in time, his heart had already become a mess and he couldn''t bear to hear any more words.


    "Alright then." Xuan Xing sighed helplessly, and could only agree, "If Madam needs anything, I will stay outside the hall, and await Madam''s orders!"


    Su Xiruo did not reply, but instructed him again, "If Yun Qian has returned, the first one to inform me."


    "Yes." Xuan Xing immediately agreed, "But I think that the first thing the President will do when he comes back will be to see you."


    With that, Xuan Xing quietly went out the door and closed the inner hall door.


    At this time, the sky had already darkened, and in the huge inner hall, only Su Xiruo was left. He squatted alone by the bed, thinking back to everything that had happened in the past, and started to not be able to differentiate between the true and false.


    No matter what Yun Qian''s identity was, the most innocent one would be Mu Jin. On what basis did Mu Jin become that victim?


    Once this matter was investigated thoroughly, she would personally take revenge for Mu Jin no matter what.


    She did not know how long she stayed where she was for, but that feeling of every second was no different from a year of suffering. Right now, she only wanted to rush to Yun Qian and ask him everything!


    Suddenly, a white shadow flashed past, and Yun Qian appeared right in front of her. Although the light in the hall was dim, at least she had lit a candle, but at that moment, Yun Qian''s vision was completely dark, he could not see anything.


    "Xiruo, you ¡­ Why are you sitting on the ground? " Relying on his perception, he slowly approached and lifted up Xiruo. He whispered, "You''ll catch a cold like this."


    After staring blankly for a second, Su Xiruo reflexively lightly pushed him aside. It was clearly just a light push, but his body slightly trembled, and he almost lost his balance.


    Immediately, Su Xiruo anxiously asked: "Are you alright?"


    In a moment, Su Xiruo tossed all thoughts of questioning to the back of his mind, went up to support his body, and sat down. A purplish black Spiritual Strength came out from his fingertip and poured into his body to suppress the Dissolving Gu.


    "Why did you push me away?" Yun Qian asked anxiously, not understanding why she pushed him away. "Cough! Cough!"


    He coughed lightly and spat out some blood. His consciousness began to fade.


    "Don''t say anything for now." Su Xiruo interrupted him, worried that his sudden agitation would intensify the spread of the Poison Gu.


    However, Yun Qian was still able to feel that there was something abnormal about this little girl, "Xiruo, if... You just have to tell me what I''ve done to disappoint you or make you unhappy. Don''t hold it in by yourself. "


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, her sadness was self-evident, because she did not know if Yun Qian''s words were true or false.


    Yun Qian, it''s not that I want to keep it in my heart, it''s that you''re not willing to reveal your true identity to me. I even learned about your identity as the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan from others. How much more is hidden from me?


    Could it be that, just as the Red Fox said, in your heart, I, an ordinary human, am not worthy of your Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?


    However, how could the exalted second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan be sincere to an ordinary person? At most, it would just be on the spur of the moment!


    Everything was just wishful thinking on her part. She was too naive!


    But, why did he know that there was such a huge difference in status between him and Yun Qian? He clearly knew that Yun Qian could leave him at any time and return to his Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but he still couldn''t let this man go.


    Even more so, he did not dare ask for Yun Qian''s help. For himself, Yun Qian would give up his position as the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and even the patriarch of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!


    Tears flowed uncontrollably down her face. Su Xiruo could feel that the Dissolving Gu in Yun Qian''s body had been almost suppressed by her, so he mustered his courage and asked: "Yun Qian, today, I found Mu Jin''s corpse in the Mercenary Academy."


    Lowering her head slightly, before she could continue, she found that Yun Qian was already unconscious in her embrace. Her exquisite face was a little pale, and her long eyelashes were slightly moving, as though she was still unwell.


    Su Xiruo embraced his body, and lightly rested his head on Yun Che''s shoulder. At the instant he closed his eyes, the last tear fell, I really hope that time can be frozen at this moment forever, I really hope that I still don''t know anything!


    Unknowingly, this man had long occupied the most important position in his heart. Even though he knew that it was very likely that he was the true murderer of Mu Jin, he still couldn''t let go of it!


    Forget it, I will ask him about this matter tomorrow.


    After standing in place for a long time, Su Xiruo placed Yun Qian on the bed, staring at his exquisite sleeping face, in a daze for a long time.


    "Yun Qian, I will investigate this matter clearly. If it is really related to you, the two of us will not have another future."


    No matter what, she couldn''t overcome this chasm in her heart!


    She stood at the side of the bed, looked out for who knows how long, looked at the pitch-black night, then left. Using the Wind Control Arts, she arrived at the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    She buried Mu Jin''s corpse inside the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and erected a grave, standing in front of the grave. Her expression was empty, feeling sad all of a sudden.


    "Mu Jin, I have let you down, and accidentally left you. I don''t even know where you went, and when we met again, all that was left of you was a pile of bones." Su Xiruo slightly nodded, as if he was talking to himself.


    "I thought that since you were born in this Spirit Beast Mountain Range, I would bring you back and bury you here. This would also count as giving you a home ground, so don''t worry, I will definitely find the culprit who killed you, no matter who it is, I will take revenge for you! However, if this person is Yun Qian, I really do not know if I can do it myself. "


    If Yun Qian was really going to do this to Mu Jin, then he would kill him first. Once he reaches Poison Sovereign, he will accompany him there!


    This was all she could do for Mu Jin right now.


    "You better rest in peace. If there is a chance in the future, when you are free, I will come and see you." Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, the moment he slowly stood up, he seemed to have sensed something.


    In the next second, she raised her hand and sent six Xi Yan s flying, but they were all dissolved by a stream of black smoke in a flash.


    The black smoke was in a mess as it invaded Su Xiruo''s back. She immediately fainted when the Red Fox appeared and hugged Su Xi''s petite body with a pleased smile on her face.


    "Mission is complete, you can go back and report to First Prince!"


    The black smoke turned into nothingness and disappeared within the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.


    In the morning, Yun Qian slowly opened his eyes, and the pure white curtain was clearly reflected in his eyes. The Spiritual Strength in his body had become much more abundant, as expected, he had already broken through to two star Spirit God!


    However, he didn''t mind in his heart. Suddenly, he turned around and saw that the person beside him had already disappeared. "Xiruo ¡­"


    What happened yesterday slowly surfaced in his mind, Yun Qian suddenly had a bad premonition, he got up and called Xuan Xing in: "Xuan Xing, where is Madam?"


    "Isn''t Madame in the inner hall?" Xuan Xing was also confused. He had probably thought that Xi Ri would grow up together with her, how could she not have found any traces of him?


    "I woke up early in the morning and there was no trace of her." An indescribable anxiety surfaced in his heart as Yun Qian ordered, "Send someone to look for him immediately."


    "Yes." Xuan Xing also realized that something was amiss.

 C208

    Xuan Xing sent people to search the Mercenary Guild Headquarters for more than four hours. They had searched almost every nook and cranny, but to no avail.


    "President, there''s no sign of Madam on Mercenary Guild. Please think carefully, did Madam tell you where she went last night?" Xuan Xing''s tone was also filled with worry.


    Yun Qian shook his head slightly, "She did not tell me anything."


    Last night, he had been poisoned. Although he wasn''t aware of it, he still vaguely remembered that yesterday''s Xi Ruo was a little strange. It seemed like something had happened, but she didn''t have the time to speak to him.


    "That''s strange. Could it be that the Madam ran out by herself again?" Xuan Xing muttered, but Yun Qian could still hear him.


    "Where did she go yesterday?" Yun Qian inquired.


    Xuan Xing answered truthfully, and did not dare to hide anything, "Yesterday, Madam had gone to see the Poison Gongzi. The First Guard and I waited at the foot of the mountain, and didn''t see Madam until nightfall when she returned back to the Yun Sheng Pavilion, and told me that she had returned from Mercenary Academy."


    "Mercenary Academy, what is Xiruo doing in the Mercenary Academy ¡­" Yun Qian did not seem to understand.


    Xuan Xing then added: "That''s right, when Madam returned from the Mercenary Academy yesterday, her face was terrifyingly gloomy. This subordinate asked again and again, but Madame was unwilling to tell, so I kept asking this subordinate, when will you be back?"


    Yun Qian revealed a slightly surprised expression. Although he did not know what had happened, his intuition told him that this matter was definitely not simple. It was very likely that Xi Ruo had misunderstood something.


    Looks like I have to personally make a trip to the Mercenary Academy, and maybe, I can even find Xi Ruo''s whereabouts.


    As a result, without a single word, Yun Qian turned into a blur and left the Cloud Piercing Pavilion.


    Mercenary Academy.


    At this time, Lei Yuntian was busy taking care of the matters at the Inner Palace when he saw Yun Qian rushing in from outside. He immediately stood up, thinking that he had done something wrong, "President, why are you here?"


    It had to be known that every time the guild leader visited, nothing good happened.


    "Dean Lei, what about Xiruo?" Yun Qian went straight to the point, sounding a little anxious.


    "Didn''t that girl leave the Mercenary Academy early yesterday?" Lei Yuntian was completely confused.


    "Dean Lei should know why she came to Mercenary Academy yesterday, right?" Yun Che asked coldly when he saw that Lei Yuntian''s expression was abnormal.


    When Lei Yuntian thought about what happened yesterday, his heart still palpitated with fear. "President, don''t you know?"


    "What can I know?"


    "Then, that Chinese Kite, was it you who killed it?" Lei Yuntian blinked his eyes, he still had not figured out what was going on.


    With these words, Yun Qian was even more at a loss of what he had just said, "Chinese Kite? The Chinese Kite was killed ¡­ What does it have to do with me? "


    The Chinese Kite, wasn''t it the spirit beast beside Xiruo, that was actually killed? It was no wonder that Xi Ruo would rush over to Mercenary Academy yesterday. Furthermore, after she returned, her complexion had always been terrible.


    This Lei Yuntian, why did he say that he had killed Chinese Kite?


    Seeing that he did not know what was going on, Lei Yuntian explained to him, "That girl, Xi Ruo, yesterday in the rear courtyard of your side palace, found the corpse of the Chinese Kite and was killed for many days. I saw that the Chinese Kite was killed by the Glazed Flame Ice Curse and that the killer was also a Spiritual Strength.


    The same went for Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. The first person that appeared in Yun Qian''s mind, was Yun Lichen!


    "What did you say?" Yun Qian interrupted him, roughly understanding his words, "So, you told Xiruo that I was the only one with the Glazed Flame Ice Curse, and that I was the one who killed the Chinese Kite, right?"


    "But, President ¡­" This is indeed the truth. This old man is unable to think of a reason and is only speaking the truth. " Lei Yuntian was speechless for a moment, "Although I also believe that you definitely wouldn''t be able to do such a thing, but ¡­"


    "Alright!" Yun Qian could not bear to listen any longer, so he scolded coldly, "Are you a pig brain? Even if Dean Lei used his toes to think, he should still be clear about this sovereign''s personality, right? "


    "This old man has misspoken." Dean Lei knew very well that with the Principal''s character, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.


    "Even if I am the one who did this, you can''t reveal everything in front of Xiruo!" Yun Qian didn''t know how much of a headache he was feeling at the moment. Lei Yuntian, this pig''s brain, had done him in, did he not know what to say?


    "Yes, the guild leader is right!"


    Now, even the Dean Lei had come to testify against him. If Xi Yue had definitely misunderstood him and felt that it was her who had killed Mu Jin, then the master-servant relationship between her and Mu Jin had always been good. If she thought that he had killed Mu Jin, then she would definitely hate herself in her heart!


    She must have misunderstood him, so right now, she didn''t even want to see him again.


    "Then, President ¡­" If you didn''t kill the Chinese Kite, who else could it be? " Lei Yuntian was also a little curious, who exactly was it?


    Yun Qian''s finger bones were curled up tightly, a trace of maliciousness and austere killing intent was added to his originally clear eyes. "Yun Lichen!"


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, with the support of Dragon Seal Empire, this place was filled with lush vegetation, blossomed with tens of thousands of flowers, the lake water was clear and green, it was a harmonious place, and could indeed be considered as a beautiful Feng Shui treasure land.


    Yun Qian was wearing a white embroidered robe as he stood there. His long, black hair flowed down his shoulders and his clear, cold eyes revealed a dangerous aura. His dark, cold, indifferent, and powerful aura completely did not match the harmless, exquisite face of others.


    "Who trespassed into my Fox Clan Sacred Grounds?" Outside the city, two little fox demons raised their weapons and blocked Yun Qian''s path.


    "Get out of the way." He coldly spat out these two words.


    "How dare you!" Spiritual Strength gushed out from the two fox demons'' bodies, they raised their weapons and were about to attack, but in the next second, Yun Qian released a gentle force and struck them back with his Blood Seal Throat!


    "Someone trespassed into the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Sacred Grounds ¡­"


    "Someone come quickly, kill him without mercy!"


    "¡­"


    The moment Yun Qian stepped into the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan realm, he immediately attracted the attention of a large group of disciples. He did not reveal the slightest panic as the Divine Instrument made its move, killing one person in three steps.


    He understood Yun Lichen''s intentions. Yun Lichen had intentionally held Xi Ruo hostage in order to lure him into his trap. This time, he had succeeded!


    Yun Qian barged into the front hall alone. He didn''t utter a single word along the way. Anyone who blocked his way would be killed!


    Suddenly, two protectors appeared in front of Yun Qian, one was red and the other was black. The two of them had the strength of the Spirit Sovereign, he recognized the red clothed man, it was the Red Fox, as for black clothed man, he should also be the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Protector!


    "Helian Yunqian, how dare you! You dare to barge into my Divine Orc Clan Holy Land?!" The Red Fox warned coldly, but faced with this kind of Expert of Spirit God, he still had some lingering fear in his heart.


    The other black-clothed protector also coldly said: "Truly a reckless madman!"


    Yun Qian glanced at the two of them, not paying them any heed, the berserk white Spiritual Strength closed in on the Red Fox, causing it to flip over and his entire body flew, smashing onto one of the palace pillars at the side, that thick and heavy palace pillar was instantly smashed apart!


    Yun Qian''s body flashed past the black clothed protector''s side. He did not even notice it as he instantly appeared in front of Red Fox and pointed the long sword at his neck.


    The Red Fox was struck by his palm just now and suffered internal injuries. It vomited a mouthful of blood and could not move at all.


    The black-clothed protector curled his finger bones and turned into a fox as he charged towards Yun Qian''s back. Yun Qian didn''t even turn her head back as she knocked the black fox back several meters. After falling to the ground, it was difficult for her to stand back up.


    "Where is he?" Yun Qian''s cold blood-red eyes stared at the Red Fox. His icy lips were parted as he coldly asked.


    "Who? I don''t know!" The Red Fox began to feign ignorance.


    "You don''t know?" Yun Qian laughed lightly, the dense white Spiritual Strength in his palm trapped the Red Fox''s body.


    In that moment, the Red Fox felt a huge pressure on its body. It had no doubt that if the Second Prince used a lot of strength, it would be crushed into ashes instantly!

 C209

    "Cough, cough ¡­" Second Prince, have mercy. " The Red Fox could only beg for mercy as its body could not move at all.


    "This sovereign will ask you another question. Where is Xiruo?" Yun Qian clearly did not have much patience left.


    The Red Fox felt as though its internal organs were about to be shattered by his Spiritual Strength. It could only say with great difficulty, "Su Xiruo, she ¡­ have been imprisoned in the forbidden grounds by the First Prince! "


    "It''s really you guys!" With a cold snort, Yun Qian heavily threw the Red Fox''s body to the ground, then turned around and headed in the direction of the forbidden grounds.


    It had already been more than eight years since he left the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but the road in this state had long since been etched into his mind, and it was likely that he would never be able to erase it in his lifetime.


    Yun Qian had been slaughtering his way to the forbidden grounds, but he was stopped by a golden Barrier. Just as he was about to open the Barrier, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar man''s voice coming from behind him.


    "Yun Qian, long time no see."


    That voice contained a few hints of ridicule and disdain.


    Yun Qian turned his head around, only to see Yun Lichen''s sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was dressed in blue clothes, and with light steps, he approached them, his face still carrying a bit of malice. "We haven''t met in eight years, I didn''t expect you to still be alive!"


    "Yun Lichen, after so many years of not meeting, you still only use this kind of despicable method to lure the enemy in." Yun Qian knew that this matter had been meticulously arranged by him.


    "Heh." Yun Lichen laughed complacently, "What a pity, even though you know it''s a trap, you''re still willing to take the bait. Second brother, you have true feelings for that woman!"


    He carefully evaluated Yun Qian once, and felt that the Spiritual Strength around his body was abnormally powerful, to the point of even being on par with himself. He couldn''t help but mock him: "I never thought that the trash back then, would actually be a Spirit God now!"


    Yun Qian was unwilling to bother with him, "Yun Lichen, I will settle our debts with you later!"


    Right now, he had no time to waste with Yun Lichen, he could only think of ways to save Xiruo.


    "Yun Qian." Yun Lichen acted and reminded her with good intentions, "There is a Void Ice Spirit Formation that father had set up personally in this forbidden grounds, if you want to go in, you will definitely trigger the array, this Void Ice Soul Formation, even if it''s me, I would not dare to barge in, and furthermore, you have me as your opponent, why fight to the death for a woman?"


    Yun Lichen''s idea is simple, you should think about how to break the array after taking care of me!


    "However, I am not as easy to deal with as those Spirit Sovereign s." Yun Lichen seemed to be extremely arrogant, "The forbidden grounds'' temperature is extremely cold, and that girl is of the yang attribute. If I stay in the forbidden grounds for too long, I don''t know what kind of consequences will occur."


    Hearing up to here, Yun Qian''s beautiful brows furrowed, she knew that she didn''t have much time, so she brought along the powerful Sword Qi''s blade and directly struck at Yun Lichen''s face. Yun Lichen dodged instantly, the long sword came out, and two equally strong Spiritual Strength collided, causing a violent shock!


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    After exchanging a few blows with Yun Lichen, Yun Qian''s light palm pushed him away, instantly pulling the distance between the two of them. With a flip of his hand, a golden Barrier appeared, blocking the path between the two of them.


    "Void Seal!" Yun Qian, you actually know this Void Seal! " Yun Lichen instantly recognized the Spiritual Skill. No matter how much effort he put in, he was unable to open this Barrier.


    Currently, he possessed the strength of his Four-star and this Void Seal was able to trap experts of three levels higher than Yun Qian. Therefore, if Yun Lichen wanted to open this Void Seal, he would need at least an hour!


    "If you dare, open this Void Seal and fight me head on!" Yun Lichen was flustered and exasperated, but he could do nothing.


    "A battle between us is unavoidable. Today, I will break this Ice Soul Formation and I have no time to tangle with you!" Yun Qian only wanted to save Xiruo as soon as possible, how could he still have the mood to tangle with Yun Lichen!


    He flew up, his palm striking against the forbidden grounds'' Barrier, and in the next second, the Void Ice Soul Formation activated, the surrounding environment''s temperature instantly dropping, condensing into a point of ice, countless ice soul sharp blades shot towards the face of Yun Qian, his feet were already surrounded by giant ice sculptures, there was nowhere for him to go.


    The shallow cloud Sword Qi vibrated and knocked down the ice blades, and the ice pillars descended one after another. He dodged and the ice pillars fell one by one, causing the ground to crack and brushing against his clothes.


    The formation was like an unending stream, and it couldn''t be stopped no matter what. The temperature around the formation became lower and lower. The bone-piercing coldness seemed as if it could even freeze the blood.


    Yun Qian gathered his strength and smashed the ice ball into pieces, instantly turning it into thousands of ice arrows, covering the sky and attacking. Borrowing the force, he took a step back, blue ice flames came out of his palm and wrapped around the ice arrow, instantly melting.


    In the next second, the dense white Sword Qi closed in, and the berserk Spiritual Strength smashed apart the ice pillar one by one. Unexpectedly, the ice arrows that were left on the ground instantly condensed into a ball, and the ice pillar returned to its original state, unmoving like a mountain.


    Separated by the Barrier, Yun Lichen looked at the person in the array and frowned. From the Spiritual Strength fluctuations around Yun Qian''s body, he could feel that his strength should be on par with his.


    But, since he had barged into the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan today, then it was a good opportunity for him to kill him. If he were to miss this opportunity today, it would be even harder in the future!


    Breaking through one point meant that there would be another point that would appear immediately. Once activated, it would sink into an endless cycle of death, so no matter how strong the Spiritual Strength was, it would be impossible to break out of this cycle.


    Time flew by, Yun Qian estimated that an hour would pass, and if Yun Lichen were to break through the void to come out after a while, he would be in an even more difficult situation, so he had to think of a way to break this array as soon as possible!


    On the other hand, behind Yun Lichen, countless Fox Clan Disciples had already gathered there, ready to teach this nameless junior who had barged into the Fox Clan a lesson!


    "Yun Qian, I advise you to give up as soon as possible." Yun Lichen gave a noncommittal smile, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule, "I told you a long time ago, this Void Ice Spirit Formation is not something you can break unless you see blood in it!"


    Yun Qian pushed away the ice pillar and looked to the side, as if he had heard what Yun Lichen said.


    At this moment, he was only slightly injured. This Ice Soul Void Formation couldn''t hurt him, but he couldn''t break it either. He couldn''t help but feel a bit worried, worried that at this extreme cold realm, Xi Ruo wouldn''t be able to hold on for long.


    Yun Lichen''s palm landed on the Void Seal''s Barrier, and that Barrier instantly cracked due to his berserk palm attack.


    Soon, he would be able to decipher the seal!


    On the other side, countless of sharp blades struck over, instantly destroying the Void Seal. The dense cold wind from Yun Lichen''s palm struck the ice sculpture, shattering the ice pillar and causing it to burst apart, but not even half a step closer to the array formation!


    The giant ice sculpture was shattered. Yun Qian saw that Xi Ruo was trapped in the forbidden area, frozen by the ice vines and had lost her consciousness.


    In a split-second, he was a little flustered and helpless as he sidestepped the two incoming ice sculptures, turning them into thousands of ice arrows. The light cloud finger bones tightly gripped onto the weapons and did not make a move, allowing the millions of ice arrows to pierce through his body.


    In the next second, the countless ice arrows that had been stained with Yun Qian''s blood were all withdrawn. The ice sculptures were rearranged, returning to their original state. The formation returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened at all.


    "Heh, you really dare to sacrifice your blood for this Void Ice Soul Formation." Yun Lichen stood outside the formation, and upon seeing the shocking scene, couldn''t help but shiver in his heart.


    For a woman, this fellow actually did not even care about his own life!


    After the formation calmed down, Yun Qian hurriedly flew into the forbidden area. She saw that Xi Ruo''s hands and feet were bound by the ice vines. The surrounding temperature was extremely low. Xi Ruo had already fainted, her fingers were stiff and cold.


    "Xiruo." The ice vine was instantly chopped off. Holding Xiruo in his arms, he turned around and left the forbidden grounds. Outside of the forbidden grounds, an inescapable net had long been set up.

 C210

    Yun Qian''s face and clothes were completely stained in blood, and his ice-cold iron-like eyes shone with a dark chill. The violent Spiritual Strength struck out and instantly defeated a group of disciples.


    Right now, he had no interest in tangling with these people. He only wanted to bring Xiruo away from this place as soon as possible.


    "Yun Qian, my Fox Clan''s Sacred Ground is not a place where you can come and go as you please!" Yun Lichen rushed to his front, unsheathed his sharp blade, and spoke with an extremely provocative tone.


    "Heh." The corner of Yun Qian''s lips curled up slightly, forming a coquettish yet disdainful arc. "That will depend on whether you can stop it or not."


    "Someone, come." Yun Lichen ordered coldly, "Helian Yunqian trespassed into my Fox Clan Sacred Grounds, and this hall will give out an order today to kill you!"


    He lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his embrace, and a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes. He softly said, "Xiruo, wait for me for a while, I''ll bring you back immediately."


    He tightly embraced Xiruo, and raised his eyes to face Yun Lichen''s pressing attack. On the other side, the Fox Clan disciples had formed a formation and surrounded him, leaving him no way out.


    "Yun Qian, even if you have three heads and six arms, don''t even think of escaping from my sight today!" Yun Lichen''s cold and violent Spiritual Strength closed in and turned into a huge ball of ice.


    Yun Qian''s expression did not change at all, he waved his Sword Qi horizontally, condensed it into a weapon, and smashed the ice ball into pieces. At the same time, he also happened to have dodged a group of ten thousand of the disciples'' rockets, and with a wave of his sleeve, the tyrannical remaining energy caused countless of Fox Clan disciples to die.


    With one hand wrapped around Xiruo, he was unable to fully utilize it. Adding the attack from the other side where the Fox Clan disciples were besieging him, he had not tried to forcefully attack her, but chose to defend himself, protecting the woman in his arms all the time.


    Yun Lichen also seemed to have noticed it, and shifted all of his attention towards the woman in Yun Qian''s embrace. The long sword came down, and was blocked by Yun Qian with a flip of his hand.


    Yun Lichen took the chance and launched a sneak attack on the person in Yun Qian''s embrace. Yun Qian frowned, he quickly moved to the side and protected the woman in his embrace, Yun Lichen''s blade smoothly landed on his shoulder, the berserk palm wind pushed Yun Qian a few meters back.


    In the next second, the three protectors coordinated with each other and three Spiritual Strength s of different attributes transformed into halos of light, binding Yun Qian''s four limbs and waist. Before they could even react, Yun Lichen''s powerful Spiritual Skill rushed over, the icy-blue Spiritual Strength, and the surrounding vegetation had all melted into nothingness!


    Yun Qian''s fingers were curled up tightly, ready to fight to the death with this fellow. At this moment, a cold and imposing female voice resounded in his ears, "Li Wu Chen!"


    Yun Qian seized the opportunity and used the Glazed Flame Ice Curse, sending the three protectors flying more than ten meters away, breaking free from the restraints, and holding onto Xiruo for a moment, before turning into afterimages and disappearing from the crowd''s line of sight, leaving their original position.


    "Damn it!" Watching Yun Qian disappear before his eyes, Yun Lichen was flustered and exasperated, but when he saw his own Royal Mother, he did not immediately give chase, and could only kneel down to welcome him, "Royal Mother."


    A graceful and elegant purple clothed lady slowly walked over. She looked to be in her early thirties, and her body carried many noble and cold auras. The Fox Clan disciples all kneeled down and saluted: "Empress Wan An!"


    It was with great difficulty that he found out that Royal Mother was going to participate in the Phoenix Clan banquet today, so he chose to start today. However, he did not expect that Royal Mother would actually return early, and his own plans, could also be considered as falling short!


    Fox Queen slightly raised her eyebrows, as if she had noticed something. "Li Chen, what happened just now?"


    Why did she just sense a powerful Strength of Beast Spirit, which was also Yin Attribute, that was almost the same as Li Wu Chen''s!


    "Royal Mother." Yun Lichen naturally could not let the Fox Queen know of the existence of his younger brother, and laughed, "It''s just a nameless junior barging into the Fox Clan, my son almost captured him just now.


    Just thinking about it made him feel indignant!


    "A nameless junior?" A hint of disbelief was revealed between Fox Queen''s brows, "Why do I feel like that nameless junior''s strength is extraordinary, and ¡­"


    Furthermore, the Strength of Beast Spirit that he was familiar with just now was no different from the Spiritual Strength of Li Wu Chen. An inconceivable answer immediately surfaced in his mind.


    Could it be that he was still alive?


    Then, he glanced at the Forbidden Land of Ice''s Ice''s Ice Ice Ice''s Ice Soul Formation. It had actually been broken by someone? This Void Ice Spirit Formation, only the blood of their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Imperial Family could break it!


    Immediately, that guess became even more firm, and in that moment, the emotions in Fox Queen became agitated.


    His youngest son was actually still alive in this world!


    "Royal Mother, don''t think too much." Yun Lichen lowered his head and interrupted the Fox Queen''s words, his heart a little flustered for some reason.


    The Royal Mother seemed to have discovered something, but he was really unwilling to let the Royal Mother know of Yun Qian''s existence!


    He was the only descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the favored son of the heavens. If Yun Qian, the future Patriarch of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, were to appear out of thin air with his strength, he would probably be in danger in the future!


    "Mm, since you''ve already settled this matter, then I won''t interfere anymore." Although he was suspicious, Fox Queen did not say anything.


    She knew that her son was very suspicious. If she questioned him directly, it would only increase his vigilance. Therefore, it would be better to investigate this matter thoroughly on her own!


    Following that, Yun Lichen immediately changed the topic: "Didn''t Royal Mother go to the Phoenix Clan to attend the banquet today?


    The long and narrow eyes of the Fox Queen slightly twitched, and said: "The Phoenix Clan has been filled with joyous events lately, ah. That Patriarch found the only descendant of the Phoenix Clan, so I also went to join in on the fun."


    On this topic, Yun Lichen was still a little concerned. After all, Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and the strength of the Phoenix Clan had always been equally matched. Even though they had been friendly with each other for the past ten thousand years, they couldn''t help but secretly compete for it.


    Therefore, Yun Lichen continued to ask: "What about the little prince, descendant of Phoenix Clan?"


    The Fox Queen laughed in disdain, as if he did not care at all: "That Little Phoenix has been living in the outside world since childhood and is born with a timid personality.


    Hearing Fox Queen''s words, Yun Lichen also became a lot more relaxed, "Looks like it''s also difficult to achieve great things!"


    "Forget it." The Fox Queen did not continue speaking, "Li Chen, send someone to clean up the mess on Fox Clan. I''m tired, so I''m going to rest."


    With that, the Fox Queen turned around and under the escort of the servant, left the messy place.


    Yun Lichen turned around and coldly instructed the remaining disciples, "You are not allowed to talk about today''s matter in front of the Fox Queen.


    "Yes sir!"


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Qingyi Hall.


    Fox Queen leaned on his imperial concubine''s bed, the fan in his hands fluttered from time to time, his expression nonchalant as he glanced at the Great Clan Elder who was standing in front of His Highness, "Great Elder, I hope that you can tell me everything that you know."


    The Great Clan Elder lowered his head slightly, "Empress, this subordinate does not understand what you mean!"


    "Su Ye, don''t think that I don''t know that you went to the Midland without permission a few days ago and when First Prince found out, he was still furious. I think that you must have done something that threatened Li Chen to make him furious."


    Nothing could escape the Fox Queen''s eyes. Although she usually turned a blind eye attitude, her heart was as clear as a mirror, and knew it better than anyone else.


    Great Elder Su Ye helplessly sighed, and could only speak the truth. "Empress''s guess is correct.


    Finally, there were some uncontrollable emotions in Fox Queen''s eyes. Even though he had guessed a lot of them, he still couldn''t help but become excited when he heard Su Ye say it himself: "You''re saying, Yun Qian ¡­ He''s still alive? But eight years ago, Yun Qian ¡­ We have already sacrificed him to his big brother! "

 C211

    The only way to break it was to sacrifice the life of the weaker son to the stronger son. This way, when the two of them combined into one, leaving behind only one, they would possess the strength to destroy the heavens and the earth, and destroy this evil omen!


    Back then, Yun Qian had naturally been sacrificed to the even stronger Yun Lichen and thrown out of the Fox Clan. At that time, as a Fox Queen, she naturally did not stop them even though she wanted to go up and down the Fox Clan!


    He never thought that her youngest son would actually also live on this world today. Moreover, he already possessed the strength of Spirit God!


    After being sacrificed once, surviving was already a blessing in disguise. Not only did Yun Qian survive, his current strength far surpasses Li Chen''s. Why was such an astonishing talent never discovered before?


    "Fox Queen, this old man thinks that the second prince''s fate should not end here." Su Ye smiled lightly and explained.


    "Have you been to see Yun Qian before?" The Fox Queen asked him while stroking the vine.


    Su Ye did not deny it: "That''s right, at that time, this subordinate was also anxious and anxious, and wanted to beg his Highness to return to our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but his Highness did not have the heart to come back, and told me that he does not want to divulge this information. The old man thought, since His Highness wants to live a peaceful life, then this old man will no longer disturb him, and let him live the life he wants to live!"


    "How can that be?" Fox Queen coldly cut him off, "He is the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and has a heavy responsibility. He is not someone who can disregard everything just because he wants to be the owner."


    "Empress." "Actually, this old one thinks that First Prince''s innate strength is already at the top. First Prince has enough strength to command the entire Fox Clan, so it''s not that important that the Second Prince is not able to return."


    Since young, the Fox Queen and the Fox Emperor had never given the Second Prince any face, and never even treated him as his own son. The one who doted on the Second Prince the most was Great Elder Su Ye.


    If the Second Prince was concerned with Fox Clan, he would have returned a long time ago. But so many years had passed, and the Second Prince had never set foot in it once.


    Therefore, Su Ye sincerely hoped that the Second Prince could do as he pleased and never return to this place that was cold to him!


    "Li Chen''s strength is indeed not bad, but his temperament is not stable enough. If he wants to become a fox, he is still lacking in maturity." Fox Queen spoke up objectively, "Furthermore, Yun Qian also has the strength of his Spirit God. Even if he does not compete with his big brother, if my Fox Clan has an additional Spirit God, it can be considered a huge increase in strength!"


    "What does Fox Queen mean?" Su Ye was well aware, yet he still deliberately asked this question.


    He understood that Fox Queen only hoped for Yun Qian to be able to return to the Fox Clan, but that was only because Yun Qian had the strength of the Spirit God. If Fox Queen wanted to win him over by using the name of kinship, even if he could not serve the Fox Clan in the future, he definitely could not be an enemy!


    Otherwise, if their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan gained one more enemy with, it would be considered a huge blow to them.


    If Yun Qian was only an ordinary person, the Fox Queen would probably not even spare him a glance, not to mention letting him return, it would even be ironic for them to think about it!


    Fox Queen narrowed her phoenix eyes and revealed a mysterious smile, "Go and invite the Second Prince back. Remember, your attitude must be good and you must not anger the Second Prince."


    "Yes." Su Ye could only agree, but then he tried to ask: "What if the Second Prince does not want to return?"


    With Yun Qian''s personality, he would probably not listen to her advice. But to return to the Fox Clan, there was no longer any place that Yun Qian would linger around.


    "Think of a way, no matter what, you must bring the Second Prince back to this palace." This time, Fox Queen was determined to recall his youngest son''s Fox Clan.


    If Su Ye had no way to call her back, she would have to do it herself!


    In the Sea Area of the Mermaid race.


    In the past few months, Su Biyue''s performance in the ocean was satisfactory. He had done everything he could, and he was transferred to the Linglong Hall, which was the master palace of the Sea Region of the Mermaid Clan. Empress Ming Ge of the Mermaid Clan lived in the Linglong Hall.


    "From today onwards, you will serve this Linglong Hall. Although you will not be able to directly deal with the empress, you must remember this well. Everything related to Linglong Hall, you must not be sloppy!" The leader earnestly warned Su Biyue, he did not dare be negligent in the slightest.


    After all, this was the empress''s palace, and humans were not allowed to serve in the inner palace. After all, this was the empress''s palace, and humans were not allowed to serve in the inner palace.


    Su Biyue raised his eyes, looked at the imposing Linglong Hall, and was filled with joy.


    Previously, she was just one of the lowest level servants in this sea. Fortunately, she had a good mouth and performed well in front of the leader. Otherwise, she probably wouldn''t have come to this place in her entire life!


    Once she came to a place like this, she wouldn''t be far from leaving!


    "Thank you, my lord." Su Biyue slightly bent his body, and was extremely polite.


    "No need to be so courteous, this can be considered your own hard work. To let you leave the West Sea Area, I am truly reluctant." That leader had a pretty good impression of Su Biyue.


    Su Biyue smiled: "Master, Bi Yue has another request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"


    "Go ahead."


    Therefore, Su Biyue didn''t keep her in suspense anymore, "That Xiao Yan with the West Sea Area has a very good relationship with Bi Yue. Right now, I have left the West Sea Area to come to this Linglong Hall, but she is still in it.


    She had spent a few months worth of time in order to gain Xiao Yan''s complete trust. Now, it would be better to give her a hand and take care of her at Linglong Hall.


    The leader was startled for a moment, but without much hesitation, he agreed: "It''s just a servant girl, it''s not really a difficult matter, and since you''re speaking up for her, then I''ll allow her to stay in the Linglong Hall with you."


    Seeing that he was so straightforward, Su Biyue smiled brightly and quickly thanked him: Thank you, Master.


    Therefore, Su Biyue walked alone around the Linglong Hall Outer Hall, and upon seeing the imposing Linglong Hall, he instantly felt unwilling to leave this place.


    "Bi Yue." Suddenly, Xiao Yan''s voice came out.


    Su Biyue turned his head around, only to see that Xiao Yan had walked up to her and gave her a hug excitedly: "Bi Yue, I heard that it was you who begged for mercy from the Mermaid that I could come to Linglong Hall with you."


    Su Biyue smiled and replied, "It''s nothing much. Since we are sisters, we should naturally share the burden."


    Xiao Yan lowered his voice a little, and whispered into Su Biyue''s ear: "Ah, Bi Yue, look now, we have all come to the Linglong Hall, without so many people watching us, it would probably be a lot easier for us to leave as well."


    Su Biyue turned his head and looked at her, then asked: "Xiao Yan, before you came to this Sea Area of the Mermaid Clan, what did you look like?"


    Xiao Yan thought back carefully and spoke: "Before, I was just a servant girl from a noble family. I had no father or no mother, and I had no one to rely on."


    "Are you willing to live like that for the rest of your life?" Su Biyue followed up with a question, and it was as if he had found the heart of Xiao Yan, "Are you willing to be bullied all your life, and be the kind of person that is the lowest of the bunch?"


    Xiao Yan bit her lower lip, as if she was terrified. "Although I don''t want to, there''s nothing I can do about it."


    "As long as you want to, there''s a way to change it." Su Biyue interrupted her, and revealed a mysterious smile, "Xiao Yan, I have decided, since I have made a name for myself in the Sea race of the Mermaid, I might as well stay behind and climb up step by step!"


    In any case, she had already been abandoned by the Humans, so even if she went back, she wouldn''t be able to change anything.


    Xiao Yan looked at Su Biyue with wide eyes and said with some disbelief, "Bi Yue, are you sure we want to continue to stay in this place?"

 C212

    Su Biyue held onto Xiao Yan''s hand, and said with a sincere tone: "Mn, I''ve already made up my mind. Xiao Yan, the two of us in the Humans are inferior beings that have been abandoned by humans, even if we were to return to the Humans, there won''t be any changes.


    "That''s what I said, but ¡­" Xiao Yan lowered his head, obviously still somewhat afraid.


    "As long as you believe me and follow me, we will one day trample all those lowly humans beneath our feet!" Su Biyue''s finger bones tightened into a ball, as hatred flashed past his eyes.


    She already hated Mercenary Academy to the bones with regards to them, and was no longer willing to return to that inhumane Humans. If possible, she only wanted to return and take revenge!


    Since Humans had abandoned her, then she did not need to be too nostalgic about Humans either!


    Finally, Xiao Yan also mustered up his courage, "Bi Yue, you''re right. In any case, in this world, I am fatherless and motherless, without any ties, and the person I''m closest to is you. From today onwards, I''ll be wherever you are!"


    In the past, Xiao Yan was only the most ordinary servant girl in a wealthy family. Even though she had endured all of the bullying, no one would look at her directly. Only Su Biyue could be considered her true friend and the only one who would pay attention to her.


    Su Biyue smiled at her, but he had already decided on a plan in his heart.


    This Xiao Yan was really not an ordinary naive person. However, the more naive she was, the easier it was for her to make use of her!


    In the future, in the Linglong Hall, with a chess piece like Xiao Yan, she could be considered to be able to save a lot of trouble!


    The border bamboo forest of Phoenix Nest Empire.


    Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi were sitting opposite of each other, refining Pills s outside the hut. The bamboo forest was quiet, not a single sound of the wind could be heard.


    "Brilliant, your recent medical skills have advanced by leaps and bounds." Mu Lingxi looked at the beautiful Pills in the furnace and could not help but praise it.


    Ye Zhuozhuo declined to comment and smiled: "All these are all mere tricks. In front of Master, they aren''t even worth mentioning!"


    "Don''t be modest, even the Medical Sovereign said that you are extremely talented."


    Mu Lingxi could not help but exclaim. The Medical Sovereign was still the best, in just a short span of less than half a year, he had become a senior physician in Profound Rank, and his Spiritual Strength had increased as well. Right now, its brilliance was already the strength of his Heavenly Spirit Master!


    However, this had a lot to do with his burning Inherent Skill. If not, the Medical Sovereign would not have accepted him as a disciple.


    "I still need to refine the Pills well. After all, I promised Master that when he returns, I will definitely refine the Sixth Rank and spirit medicine." Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip and made up his mind.


    At this moment, they heard a strange noise in their ears. The two of them realized that someone was coming and immediately became more vigilant.


    "Who?" Mu Lingxi had already unsheathed his blade and was fully prepared.


    In the next second, a stream of smoke flashed past, carrying a girl in Yun Qian''s embrace. He appeared before the two of them, his body covered in blood, his originally white brocade robes dyed red.


    "Yun Qian!"


    "Brother!"


    The two of them spoke at almost the same time and instantly retracted their vigilance. They were a little surprised. "What happened to her?"


    "Where''s the Medical Sovereign?" Yun Qian''s thin lips slightly opened as he asked in a faint voice.


    Ye Zhuozhuo slightly knitted his brows, his tone obviously somewhat helpless: "Master is old and he just went to travel around the world a few days ago. Before he left, he didn''t leave me with any keepsake, so I don''t know when he will return."


    Ye Zhuozhuo took a step forward, and lightly gripped Xiruo''s pulse, as he said. "If Xiruo''s internal organs are injured by the extremely cold Spiritual Strength''s fluctuations, Big Brother, don''t worry, I know how to save her."


    Seeing that Ye Zhuozhuo was so confident, Yun Qian did not say anything. He carried Xi Ruo into the house and put her on the bed, then asked: "Xi Ruo has been unconscious, there won''t be any danger right?"


    "Probably not." As Ye Zhuozhuo spoke, he pierced needles into Su Xiruo''s acupuncture points, causing his expression to turn serious.


    "Then... When will she wake up? " Seeing that her tone was not completely certain, Yun Qian was still a little worried.


    After Ye Zhuozhuo finished applying the silver needles, he turned around and looked at Yun Qian in concern: "Brother, with me here, you don''t have to worry about Xi Ruo''s safety. I won''t let anything happen to her.


    Yun Qian slightly lowered his gaze and didn''t say a word. He didn''t see that Xi Ruo was safe and sound, but he still couldn''t relax.


    Following that, Ye Zhuozhuo instructed Mu Lingxi who was behind him: "A Xi, help my brother heal his injuries."


    "I ¡­" Go and undress a man. Mu Lingxi was a little unwilling in his heart, but since he had already spoken, he naturally did not dare to refuse. He could only agree, "Alright."


    He untied his snow-white clothes, revealing his fair and tender skin. Even a man like him would be moved by this kind of skin, but it was full of sinister wounds.


    "Have you seen enough?" Seeing that he was lost in thought for a moment, Yun Qian couldn''t help but slightly furrow her brows as she reminded him, feeling that she was slightly resisting in her heart.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" Mu Lingxi hurriedly shifted his gaze away, lowered his head to treat his wounds, and asked curiously, "Yun Qian, you still haven''t told me what exactly happened?"


    To be able to injure Yun Qian in such a manner, the strength of the other party must be extremely abnormal!


    "I just got into a little trouble." Yun Qian put it simply, he seemed to not care about it at all.


    "I''m afraid it''s not a small problem." Mu Lingxi did not believe that it would be a small problem.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he had a profound strength that was above that level, it would probably be very difficult for him to injure Yun Qian.


    Yun Qian did not speak anymore, as if he did not want to speak of the matter of Fox Clan, so he just pretended that it had not happened.


    In any case, he would never return to that place, but since Fox Clan was unwilling to let it go, it was hard to say.


    After approximately two hours had passed, Ye Zhuozhuo let out a small sigh of relief, and said, "Big brother, don''t worry.


    Hearing this, Yun Qian also became a lot more relieved. "You guys can go out and rest first. I''ll take care of this place."


    "Brother, you''re injured, so I''ll take care of it." Ye Zhuozhuo was still a little worried for his brother, so he spoke up on his own accord.


    "No need. Just now, you spent quite a bit of energy healing Xiruo. Go rest." Yun Qian didn''t seem to have the slightest intention of leaving, wanting to personally see Xiruo wake up.


    Ye Zhuozhuo sighed helplessly. He knew that her brother was stubborn and did not insist: "If that''s the case, then I will not fight with you. A Xi and I will be outside.


    "Yes."


    With that, Ye Zhuozhuo pulled Mu Lingxi out of the room and closed the simple and crude wooden door.


    Yun Qian sat by the bedside and stared at the unconscious girl on the bed. Her long, fair fingers gently tidied up her messy hair.


    He was blaming himself a little, blaming himself for not being able to go to the Fox Clan earlier.


    At this time, he heard, that Xiruo was vaguely saying something, and lowered her eyes a little, barely allowing herself to hear it clearly. She gently called out, "Mu Jin, Mu Jin ¡­"


    Her voice was very soft, and her face was filled with sadness and concern.


    Yun Qian let out a light sigh, his heart felt a little uncomfortable. He spoke as if he was talking to himself, and his tone was slightly rebuking. "In your heart, is Mu Jin the only one who can do it?"


    But in the next moment, he comforted himself again, and said that maybe Xi Ruo still hadn''t completely accepted the news of Mu Jin''s death, which was why she was feeling so uncomfortable, and had been thinking about him this whole time.


    Xi Ruo probably misunderstood her and thought that she had killed Mu Jin herself.


    If it wasn''t for that damnable Yun Lichen, Xi Ruo wouldn''t have misunderstood him! After Xi Ruo wakes up, she must explain this misunderstanding to her.


    Perhaps it was because he was a little tired, but Yun Qian laid on the bed and at some point, he had entered a dream.

 C213

    When Yun Qian woke up, he was woken up by a powerful Spiritual Strength undulation. Opening his eyes, he became more vigilant, and then he saw Great Clan Elder Su Ye in front of him.


    "What are you doing here?" Yun Qian''s vigilance did not decrease in the slightest. After all, he had caused a ruckus just now by leaving with Fox Clan, so it was likely that the Fox Clan would not let him off so easily!


    Su Ye promptly expressed his goodwill, "Second Highness, this old man has no ill intentions. I am only here to take care of the injuries of Your Highness and Miss Xiruo."


    "No need." "This Medical Sovereign''s Sacred Ground is not a place where one can casually barge into. Great Elder, please go back."


    Su Ye was unwilling to leave so easily, "Empress sent this old man here, and now, Empress has already known of your existence, so he specifically asked this old man to return your Highness to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!"


    In that case, it did not affect Yun Qian''s heart at all. He merely smiled noncommittally, "Return?" Back then, it was clear that Fox Clan had abandoned me. Since I had already left the Fox Clan, I had no intention of returning. "


    "Even if Your Highness doesn''t give this old man any face, you should at least give Empress some face." Su Ye could understand him, "Perhaps, it would be good if His Highness didn''t want to return. At least, you should explain it clearly to Empress and let him feel more at ease.


    Seeing him keep his composure, Su Ye then continued to speak, "Actually, all these years, Empress has also been blaming himself, regretting all the decisions he made eight years ago. Second Prince, now, so much time has passed ¡­"


    Yun Qian frowned, she could not bear to continue listening. She interrupted him and said coldly, "Enough, I have never had a mother before."


    His so-called biological mother, for the sake of benefits, could be ruthless to her own son and would not hesitate to sacrifice her son''s life. She must achieve her goal!


    Thus, he had never thought that it was his own mother. He had never felt the slightest bit of kinship with her in his heart!


    "Did the Fox Queen send you here?" Yun Qian snorted, "Then help me pass on the message to her. If she can''t take in the grudge that caused such a ruckus at Fox Clan yesterday, then come and find me for revenge. I, Helian Yunqian, only have hatred with Fox Clan, and only have hatred!"


    His tone was extremely decisive, his heart had long since confirmed everything, determined that he, was not destined to belong to Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!


    Su Ye let out a helpless sigh. Listening to the Second Prince''s words, he felt extremely sad, "Second Prince, could it be that you aren''t even willing to give Empress a single chance?"


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly as he laughed in a mocking manner, "If Great Elder were to see me a couple more times and be discovered by First Prince, I''m afraid that life will not be so good in the future."


    "Second Prince, you know this old man doesn''t care about these things ¡­"


    "But I care!" Yun Qian spoke coldly, his tone even revealing a little helplessness.


    He was well aware that the only reason Yun Lichen knew of his existence was because Su Ye had come to find him the last time.


    Just because Su Ye came to find him once, and broke his original tranquil days, Yun Lichen sowed dissension, which he didn''t really care about, but he really didn''t want to let Xi''er suffer any more injuries because of his identity as the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!


    Therefore, the only way was to completely draw a line between them and Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and never interact again.


    "Also, please pass the message to Yun Lichen, Great Clan Elder." "The grudge between him and me, in the future, he will only come at me. I will accompany him to the end, but if I use these despicable methods to harm my wife, even if I throw away my life, flatten my Fox Clan, I will make him pay with his life!"


    How Yun Lichen dealt with him, he didn''t care in the slightest. But now that he had already injured Xiruo, how could he bear with it?


    From his cold and resolute tone, Su Ye could tell that the Second Prince was definitely not joking. Since he could say it, then he would definitely be able to do it.


    "Hai." Su Ye sighed helplessly, he knew that it would end like this, and did not continue, "If it''s like this, then I will not disturb Second Highness anymore."


    With that, Yun Qian watched as Su Ye disappeared in a puff of smoke, with not the slightest bit of emotion in his eyes.


    However, he had a premonition in his heart that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined. Since it was Fox Queen''s intention, she would definitely not let this matter rest.


    On the evening of the next day, Yun Qian personally went to the depths of the bamboo forest to gather the herbs, and immediately felt that something was amiss. A shadow swept past his line of sight, and a beautiful Fox Queen appeared before him.


    Although she was already over thirty years old, she looked just like a charming and graceful young woman.


    Yun Qian raised his eyes and looked at her. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar woman before him, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. However, he did his best to restrain it, his expression did not change.


    The Fox Queen slowly approached Yun Qian, his face revealing astonishment and pain, "Yun Qian, are you really Yun Qian?"


    Yun Qian subconsciously took a step back, but he remained expressionless. "If Great Elder can''t persuade him, then has Fox Queen personally come?"


    He lowered his head and did not look at Fox Queen''s eyes. He was still a little panicked in his heart, after all, the person standing in front of him right now was his own biological mother, the one who was supposed to be related by blood but not by blood, his biological mother!


    His thoughts inadvertently returned to over 10 years ago.


    With red lips, white teeth, and a flower ring in hand, he happily ran to Fox Queen''s side and said, "Royal Mother, this was a flower ring Yun Qian made personally for you. Yun Qian will personally wear it for Royal Mother!"


    Fox Queen glanced at him sideways, and with a sharp slap, he knocked the boy to the ground.


    "Royal Mother ¡­"


    "You lost hope in your life. This is the best I can see from you. Compared to your brother, you are nothing but trash!" The Fox Queen looked at him coldly, and the cold words were like a knife that stabbed into Yun Qian''s heart.


    "But, today is your birthday, Royal Mother ¡­ Your son just wants to give Royal Mother a surprise. " The boy lowered his head as he tried to hold back his tears. He felt wronged.


    Royal Father and Big Brother had never taken mother''s birthdate to heart, why was he so attentive? It was one thing to not be able to obtain Royal Mother''s amiable appearance, but to still be treated like this.


    "Surprise?" Fox Queen snorted coldly, and said with disdain, "Is this something a Fox Clan prince should do? If you really want to surprise me, then you should be like your brother and stand out, and not be an eyesore to me! "


    In her opinion, only with Li Wu Chen''s outstanding talent would he be able to inherit the Patriarch''s position in the future. Yun Qian was just a good-for-nothing that could not bring her any glory.


    Hence, she never had any good feelings towards her youngest son. In fact, she wasn''t even willing to admit that he was her son!


    "Someone, come." Following that, the Fox Queen ordered, "Lock this unfilial son up. When will he advance to the Third Stage?


    "Yes sir!"


    Those words were like a sharp blade that pierced the boy''s heart. No matter how much the boy cried, Fox Queen turned a deaf ear to it. He got up and stepped on the pale flower ring, and taunted: "This kind of little thing wants to please me, it''s simply too naive!"


    Looking at the broken garland, the boy''s heart felt as if it had been stepped on and shattered into pieces.


    He waited for five years straight and couldn''t see his relatives or his Royal Mother. The only thing he could accompany him was endless darkness and loneliness!


    When he was released once again, he thought that the Royal Mother had forgiven him, but what he had received after waiting for it was actually an emotionless order. He knew that the Royal Father and the Royal Mother were going to sacrifice him to his own brother!

 C214

    Fox Queen walked even closer to Yun Qian. Seeing how distant he was from him, he forced out a few tears, "Yun Qian, you''re still blaming Royal Mother, right?"


    Yun Qian avoided her gaze a little, and did not directly answer her question: "This is Medical Sovereign''s Sacred Ground. If there is nothing else, it is best to leave this place as soon as possible."


    Fox Queen''s eyes were filled with tears, with a look of unwillingness: "Why have I never contacted with Fox Clan in all these years? Royal Mother had thought that eight years ago, you had already died."


    "Then... Fox Queen, just treat it as me dying. " "The Yun Qian eight years ago, he had already been personally killed by you. He no longer exists, and the person standing in front of you right now, is Helian Yunqian."


    "I knew you wouldn''t forgive me." The Fox Queen was unwilling to let him go, so he stepped forward and grabbed his sleeves.


    Yun Qian shook her hand off, her fingers curled tightly, trying hard to suppress the emotions in her heart. On the surface, she still looked calm, "If Fox Queen has anything to say, just say it!"


    "Yun Qian, return with Royal Mother." The Fox Queen finally revealed his true feelings, "Let go of everything that happened in the past. At least give the Royal Mother a chance to compensate you, okay?"


    She made her position clear and simple.


    However, no matter how sincere and tearful Fox Queen was, Yun Qian remained indifferent, and was not moved in the slightest. "I''ve already told Great Elder what I need to say, and Fox Queen wants me to repeat it again?"


    Fox Queen''s expression slightly changed, and changed to a pitiful look: "Yun Qian, no matter what Royal Mother does, you won''t forgive Royal Mother, right?"


    Seeing that he did not say anything, the Fox Queen began to flaunt his feelings: "Today, Royal Mother''s days are actually not too good. Ever since your Royal Father Immortal''s death, his Fox Clan has always been suppressed a little by his Phoenix Clan, and he has a ruthless nature, so he never uses his brain to solve any problems. Because of this, the Royal Mother has suffered a lot, if you can return to the Fox Clan, at least there will be someone who can restrain him."


    "Fox Queen allowed me to return to my Fox Clan just to restrain Yun Lichen?" Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule.


    Sure enough, eight years had passed and Fox Queen''s personality had still not changed one bit. As long as it was beneficial to her, she would never let it go. If it wasn''t for the fact that he might be of some use to her, she probably wouldn''t even want to look at him.


    Just thinking about it made him feel a little sarcastic.


    "No." "Royal Mother said all this just to convince you to return to Royal Mother''s side. Could it be that you''re not interested in the position of Fox-Race Patriarch at all?"


    She did not believe that her son had no desire at all!


    "Not everyone is the same as what you long for." Yun Qian looked into her eyes, her tone cold and detached, "Fox Queen, we are not on the same side, it would be better not to interact with each other. If First Prince were to find out, it might cause a ruckus between you two."


    His every sentence sounded like he was considering for the Fox Queen, but in reality, it was extremely cold and detached. He used the coldest attitude possible to push this so-called kin away!


    However, on the surface, he still carried a sad look on his face, "Yun Qian, since you have no intention of returning, Royal Mother will not force you, but Royal Mother will always be waiting for you. No matter when you want to return, Royal Mother will welcome you."


    Since he wasn''t willing to come back, then he would think of a way to make him come back. Since he didn''t want to get involved in this dispute, then he would make sure to get him involved!


    Thinking about it, Fox Queen smiled mysteriously.


    Yun Qian remained silent as the Fox Queen turned into a wisp of smoke and left. Only at this time did Yun Qian slowly raise his eyes and look in the direction that the Fox Queen had disappeared to.


    Fox Queen, if what you said earlier is true, I will definitely not reject you. But to be fair, what part of your words are true?


    After the Fox Queen left the bamboo forest, his original tear-stained face had completely disappeared, and his eyes had once again returned to their normal cold and gloomy look.


    "Empress, it seems that you were discovered by First Prince when you left the Fox Clan to look for Second Highness." One of the Dark Guard beside her said worriedly, "I''m afraid First Prince is very angry."


    Fox Queen gave a noncommittal smile: "What''s there to be afraid of? It''s better that he''s angry. I just want to let him know that I''ve come to find his second brother."


    With Yun Lichen''s personality, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it in any longer, and would have to personally come to find Yun Qian. This was a matter that involved Yun Qian''s own interests, he did not even need to personally step in, to cause Yun Qian and Li Wu Chen to be related to Fox Clan!


    If Li Wu Chen did anything to hurt Yun Qian again, perhaps Yun Qian would be so angry that he would want to kill him and fight for the position of Fox-Race Patriarch!


    At that time, she would be in the center of attention, waiting to reap the rewards!


    "The Empress is wise." Dark Guard seemed to understand what the Queen meant and couldn''t help but praise her in her heart.


    At this time, within the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Palace, Yun Lichen stood up with a clap. The terrifying Spiritual Strength had shattered the white jade table, turning it into nothingness!


    "The Royal Mother actually went to find that lowly bastard!" "I really don''t know what Royal Mother is thinking. Could it be that he wants Yun Qian to return to the Fox Clan to fight for the position of Patriarch with this sovereign?"


    "Your Highness, please calm your anger." The Red Fox hurriedly comforted, "In this subordinate''s opinion, Fox Queen does have that intention. To have the Second Highness return, is to consolidate his Fox Clan strength.


    "Hmph." "Hmph!" Yun Lichen snorted coldly, she didn''t believe such nonsense at all, "I think, Royal Mother thinks that this son of mine isn''t very obedient.


    Yun Lichen got to the point and curled his fingers tightly, feeling that the situation was getting worse.


    He had originally been hiding his true self and planned to send the Royal Mother away yesterday, then eliminate Yun Qian as the root and eliminate him once and for all, but he did not expect that it would end in such a mess. Not only did he fail to kill Yun Qian, he even let the Royal Mother find out the existence of his youngest son!


    Right now, Yun Qian''s existence was already a threat to his position. In addition, Yun Qian would definitely hate him, if he did not do something, his own First Prince would be in danger!


    "First Prince, what do you plan to do?" The Red Fox lowered his head and asked, realizing the seriousness of the situation.


    Yun Lichen''s face revealed killing intent, she clenched her teeth and said: "Kill him!"


    Anyone who dared to threaten him must not be allowed to live!


    "Go get the Royal Father''s Soul Devouring Staff!" At this time, Yun Lichen''s heart had already been filled with killing intent. He thought, no matter the cost, he had to kill Yun Qian!


    The dim light shone into his eyes and Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the simple yet familiar scene in front of him, he gradually recalled that he was probably in a bamboo forest.


    "Xiruo." Seeing that she had woken up, Yun Qian''s face revealed a happy expression. She gently held onto Xi Ruo''s small hand and said, "You''re finally awake."


    Her palm had already returned to its normal temperature, meaning that it should be fine.


    Su Xiruo was stunned for a moment, then gently loosened his fingers, lowered his head and did not speak, as if he was still thinking about something.


    Seeing the situation, Yun Che seemed to understand what she was thinking so he took the initiative to say, "Xiruo, I know that you have ill feelings for me. About the matter regarding Mu Jin ¡­"


    "I just want to ask you one question. Mu Jin, were you the one who killed him?" Su Xiruo looked at him. She only wanted to know the answer to this question, and her heart was a little perturbed.


    Since she wanted to know the answer, she was also afraid that Yun Qian would admit it himself. To say that Mu Jin was killed by him, this fact was a double blow to her!


    "Do you believe everything I say?" Yun Qian did not answer her directly, but asked her instead.


    He was afraid that no matter what he said, Xiruo wouldn''t believe him. After all, the facts were laid out in front of him. No one would believe his words out of the blue.

 C215

    "Go ahead." Xiruo didn''t say that she believed him, but she didn''t say that she didn''t believe him either. She lowered her head and anxiously waited for the answer.


    If Mu Jin really died in Yun Qian''s hands, she really did not know how she would be able to face Yun Qian.


    "This has nothing to do with me." Yun Qian then told her the truth, "Mu Jin was not killed by me, this is the truth!"


    There wasn''t much explanation, only a few simple words that stated the truth.


    "But ¡­" Just as Xi Ruo was about to open her mouth to say something, she saw Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi hurriedly enter the room with a face full of panic, as if something big had happened.


    "What''s wrong?" Yun Qian turned his head and saw that something was wrong.


    Ye Zhuozhuo then anxiously opened his mouth: "Brother, someone is here. If we barge into this bamboo forest, even the Barrier that you set up previously was broken apart. That person is here aggressively, and now that the Medical Sovereign is not here, what should we do!? "


    Yun Qian stood up, feeling that he had guessed who had come to cause trouble. He then said, "Don''t worry, I''ll go take a look!"


    With that, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the three people''s sight. Su Xiruo saw the situation, and quickly stood up as well. "Yun Qian, wait for me!"


    Before the two of them could react, Su Xiruo had already disappeared as well. Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo looked at each other.


    "A Xi, what should we do now?" Ye Zhuozhuo was at a loss of what to do, "Do you want to help?"


    "Let''s go take a look." Mu Lingxi frowned slightly. Although he knew that they wouldn''t necessarily be able to help, it was still better than sitting here and waiting for death.


    One by one, the plants in the bamboo forest fell to the ground. As soon as the white Spiritual Strength passed by, they would turn into ice and then into ashes, no longer existing!


    Yun Lichen was dressed in black, and he held the Soul Devouring Staff in his hand.


    At this moment, he only wanted to dismember Yun Qian''s body into ten thousand pieces. Only then would he be able to rest peacefully.


    "Boom ~ ~ ~"


    Another tall and sturdy bamboo fell with a loud sound, and was instantly chopped into pieces. Yun Lichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt a strong wave of Spiritual Strength approaching him.


    His white robe fluttered in the wind as Yun Qian lightly landed on the ground and stood opposite to him. On his face that was as calm as the clouds and the wind, there was actually a hint of gloominess.


    "Haha, you''re finally out." Seeing him in front of her, Yun Lichen was both excited and angry at the same time, "And here I thought you wanted to be a coward and hide from me your whole life."


    Yun Qian raised her eyebrows, her thin lips parted, "You came here to seek death?"


    These four simple words were ridiculing to the extreme.


    "Your tone is not small at all!" Yun Lichen coldly snorted, his words making him choke on his words, "This sovereign has Four-star now, and you only have a mere two star Spirit God, you can only barely contend against this sovereign with the help of a Divine Instrument, but your strength is still lacking a bit, so today, should be the day of your death!"


    Initially, Yun Qian did not want to bother with this matter. However, this fellow had provoked him time and time again and hurt the people around him. It would be better to just deal with him and eliminate him once and for all!


    "Coincidentally, today, I will properly settle the accounts from last time with you." Yun Qian did not show any signs of fear.


    Although Yun Lichen was a Four-star, his Spiritual Strength was not completely stable, and should be an urgent task to accomplish. He had just advanced in Four-star, and his true strength simply could not reach the peak of the Three-star.


    Such strength was not enough to make him fear anything.


    "Humph!" Yun Lichen seemed to be a little angry, "You said that there was no way to interact with my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and at the same time, you tried to rope in Royal Mother. Yun Qian, aren''t you coveting the position of the Patriarch? This noble one is clear about your little thoughts, but this noble one will definitely not let you succeed! "


    Anyone who dared to threaten his position would die! He would absolutely not allow anyone to climb onto his head, even if that person was his own brother!


    Yun Qian interrupted him, "Obviously, your Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has pestered me non-stop and your spirits have never left. I should be the one who gets angry, right?"


    This Fox Clan, all of them were full and full, right? When Su Ye finished coming to Fox Queen, and Fox Queen just left, this guy came again, and he said that he was trying to win over Fox Queen?


    This was really the funniest joke he had heard today. It was clearly because their Fox Clan had always been pestering him, yet standing on the opposite side was actually him pestering them?


    "Enough, stop spouting lies. If you did not take the initiative to rope him in, why would Royal Mother bother with a lowly bastard like you!" Yun Lichen could not bear to listen any longer, and interrupted his words, "Let me tell you, as long as this noble one is here, you are a lowly bastard who will never let anyone look straight at you!"


    He tried to anger Yun Qian, but instead of getting angry, Yun Qian said with a smile, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll kill you today. In the future, your existence will no longer be part of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, nor even the entire Fine Star Continent."


    "Alright, this sovereign is waiting for you to say those words!" Yun Lichen''s fingers were curled tightly, he was impatient long ago and wanted to attack this guy.


    The two of them faced each other coldly, and the two equally strong Yin Attribute s crazily climbed and explosively increased in power. They were basically evenly matched!


    "Yun Qian!" At this time, Su Xiruo appeared in front of him in a flash.


    In the next second, Yun Qian turned his head and looked at her with concern, "Why did you come with me? Hurry and go back, it''s dangerous here! "


    Su Xiruo''s gaze suddenly fell on Yun Lichen who was standing opposite of him, and said coldly: "It really is you!"


    She guessed that this Men In Black was the person who had captured her.


    Separated by a relatively distant distance, Su Xiruo could feel that the Spiritual Strength of the Men In Black was extremely strong, perhaps even stronger than Yun Qian!


    Just what kind of background did this man have? Why did his body suddenly grow so big, to the extent of Yin Attribute!


    "Heh." Yun Lichen looked at Su Xiruo and laughed disdainfully: "I think you are a woman who is not that special. I really don''t know why, but my good little brother will be bewitched by you."


    Finished speaking, he even glanced at Yun Qian in ridicule.


    "Brother, you''re Yun Qian''s brother?" Su Xiruo was startled, and immediately seemed to have thought of something.


    This Men In Black was Yun Qian''s elder brother, his strength was similar to Yun Qian''s, but they were also Yin Attribute s, and they had even captured him. Could it be ¡­ Was he the one who killed Mu Jin?


    "Xiruo, you go back first. This place is dangerous." Yun Qian was only concerned about her safety.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, did not think any further, and took out Chao Yue from his bosom and handed it over to Yun Qian.


    "You ¡­" Yun Qian did not understand why she handed the ring back to him.


    "I''m here to give you the ring so that I can block this guy''s fatal blow." Su Xiruo''s tone of voice was light, seeing the slight happiness on his face, he added, "I don''t completely trust you, we''ll explain everything clearly after you take care of him!"


    "Alright, wait for me." Grabbing the storage ring in his hand, Yun Qian flew over and landed in front of Yun Lichen.


    Su Xiruo subconsciously retreated a little, probably knowing in his heart that he could not help in any way, and if he went too close and got held by the Men In Black, it would bring about more trouble for Yun Qian.


    Two violent Spiritual Strength sprayed out, and after a few light collisions, the shaking power caused the surrounding plants to completely collapse, turning into piece after piece of barren land.


    Yun Lichen used all of his strength to attack, the Soul Devouring Staff struck towards Yun Qian''s chest, the attack was fast and violent, Yun Qian''s horizontally sword blocked his Spiritual Artifact, yet he was forced back a few steps by the remaining strength.


    Soul Devouring Staff! Now that the Fox Emperor''s Divine Instrument was actually in Yun Lichen''s hands, it looked like he really needed to be cautious.


    Yun Lichen''s eyes turned blood-red. The Spiritual Strength in the center of his palm quickly condensed and turned into an ice pillar that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. In the next second, it was turned into countless sharp blades by Yun Qian''s Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill, and in turn, pierced towards Yun Lichen.


    The two figures, one black and one white, fought intensely in the clouds. The battle of two Spirit God s caused lightning to flash and thunder to rumble in the sky.


    Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo hurried over, looking at the battle in the air, they were a little anxious, "This ¡­ Where did this Men In Black come from, to actually possess such terrifying strength! "

 C216

    To be able to match up to Yun Qian in such a manner, it was definitely due to the strength of his Spirit God!


    "I never thought that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to witness two battle of Spirit God." Mu Lingxi stared at the sky, afraid that he would miss any of the exciting scenes.


    "Aiya, A Xi, at this time, you''re still joking!" However, Ye Zhuozhuo was extremely anxious, "Big brother might not be that guy''s match, what should we do?"


    Mu Lingxi helplessly shook his head: "What else can we do? We can''t even enter Spirit God s, let alone help them out."


    "But, big brother is going to be at a disadvantage!" Ye Zhuozhuo curled his fingerbone tightly, looking as if he was on tenterhooks, "Xiruo ¡­"


    Su Xiruo sighed: "Scorching, we can''t help you much, let''s just watch by the side. If anything happens, I''ll help you out again!"


    The sky grew darker and darker, as if a layer of haze had shrouded it. At this moment, in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Great Hall, Fox Queen was leisurely drinking tea and watching the sky outside suddenly change, she did not move at all.


    "Empress." Su Ye looked at the sky outside, as if he was very worried, "First Prince is very likely going to fight with the Second Prince, don''t you want to come out and stop him?"


    The corners of the Fox Queen''s lips curled up slightly, forming an extremely deep arc in the air: "No need, they''re willing to fight, why should I stop them?"


    On the contrary, she wanted to see which of her two sons were stronger.


    "But, the difference in strength between the two Princes is no less. If they were to truly fight, I''m afraid that both of them would suffer!" Su Ye frowned, trying to persuade the Fox Queen.


    The Fox Queen was not moved at all. "So what if both of us are defeated? The future Patriarch of my Fox Clan, will definitely be the most outstanding one!"


    Su Ye sighed helplessly, he paced around the hall anxiously, but hated himself for not being able to do anything.


    The Empress is causing the two princes to fight to the death!


    At this time, the bamboo forest had already collapsed, and the two eight-tailed Spirit Fox were fighting in the air. While puffing clouds and mist, they could even destroy the entire borders of the Phoenix Nest!


    "This... This is the Eight-Tailed Fox! " Ye Zhuozhuo looked at the two Eight-Tailed Fox s trembling in mid air, and thought that he was seeing things, "There are actually two of them!"


    After living with Big Brother for so many years, she had never known that Big Brother''s Real Body, was actually an eight-tailed Spirit Fox!


    Su Xiruo watched the battle unfold in the air without blinking his eyes. The two eight-tailed Spirit Fox had similar appearances, he had long forgotten about them.


    The two equally powerful icy-blue Spiritual Strength s clashed against each other, and the immense shockwave spread out for a hundred li!


    "Hurry and retreat!" Su Xiruo hurriedly grabbed both of their shoulders and retreated a few steps back. A light shield instantly condensed in the center of his palm as he barely managed to block that terrifying residual energy.


    Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo heaved slight sighs of relief. The Expert of Spirit God was so terrifying, even that amount of energy was enough to kill them!


    No wonder, if Xi Yue didn''t even let them near the battle circle, they would have already turned into ashes before they even got close!


    The two Eight Tailed Spirit Fox also released the Glazed Flame Ice Curse, and their temperature met each other. In the next second, the two returned back to their human forms and were injured by the strong Spiritual Strength.


    "Glazed Flame Ice Curse." Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide, and looked at the scene before him.


    Heh, so it turns out that Yun Qian was not the only one who knew of this Spiritual Skill, this Men In Black actually also knew of it!


    He was wrong about Yun Qian, it must be like this, Yun Qian would never do something like that!


    Thinking of this, Su Xiruo felt a bit of guilt in his heart, but more importantly, joy!


    Yun Qian and Yun Lichen both spat out blood from their injuries. In that instant, Yun Qian had already used Chao Yue, yet he was still unable to completely block Yun Lichen''s attack, and was even as severely injured as him!


    It was easy to imagine. If he had to endure through the whole ordeal without facing the moon, he would die a horrible death!


    This Yun Lichen''s Spiritual Skill, was still better than his grasp. No, he could not drag it on any longer, if not he would lose without a doubt!


    In the next second, Yun Qian did not even give the other party a chance to breathe. He leapt up from the ground, and a dense white light violently attacked him. In an instant, everyone''s eyes were blinded by this intense light!


    And at this time, Yun Lichen had just gotten up from the ground, but was immediately pushed back dozens of meters by his Sword Qi. In an instant, he felt as if the sky was spinning and the earth spinning, and all his internal organs were about to be shattered by his Spiritual Skill.


    "You ¡­ You, were actually able to receive my Glazed Flame Ice Curse? " Yun Lichen laid on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    He had already calculated this long ago, and in his heart he was certain that Yun Qian definitely would not be able to receive that Spiritual Skill of his. He had originally planned to kill Yun Qian with one move, but Yun Qian had only severely injured him!


    "You lost." There was not a trace of warmth in Yun Qian''s eyes. That ice-cold voice that was as cold as metal sounded as though it was being judged.


    "No, this isn''t your true strength. This sovereign is unwilling! This sovereign is unwilling!" Yun Lichen no longer had the power to retaliate, but still struggled to get up and counterattack. Yun Qian struck his palm down with the back of his hand, causing him to shut his mouth and faint.


    At this moment, Yun Qian did not care about Yun Lichen''s life or death at all. What he was most worried about was whether or not Xi Ruo and the others had been injured by the remaining strength. He hurriedly turned around and went over to Xi Ruo''s side and held her small hand, asking in concern: "Xi Ruo, are you alright?"


    Su Xiruo gently shook his head. Right at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyes to see Yun Lichen had woken up.


    "Helian Yunqian, go and die!"


    "Yun Qian, be careful!"


    Su Xiruo''s mind went blank and his first reaction was to fly forward. The Soul Devouring Staff that carried the terrifying white color Spiritual Strength instantly penetrated her heart, and instantly fresh blood splattered everywhere.


    Xixi''s thin and weak body fell to the ground like a piece of paper. Yun Qian hugged her tightly and the Divine Instrument s were instantly unsheathed, piercing through Yun Lichen''s body!


    Yun Lichen''s eyes widened, and he fell into a pool of blood. The Soul Devouring Staff dropped to the side, and his body transformed into a white eight tailed Spirit Fox.


    "Xiruo ¡­" Yun Qian hugged her body that was covered in blood. He felt that his hands were trembling. "Xiruo, how are you?"


    Su Xiruo forced out a smile, and wanted to say something to him. "I believe in you, but my body was instantly pulled out by a force and I lost consciousness, fainting."


    Yun Qian hugged the person in his embrace tightly, and turned and left the bamboo forest, heading to the small hut. Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi followed closely behind.


    "Brother ¡­" Ye Zhuozhuo saw that Yun Qian had somewhat lost control of his emotions, and said in a low voice, "If Xi''er was injured by that Divine Instrument, if she wanted to live, I''m afraid that my master will have to take the lead!"


    But now, she simply didn''t know where her master was. Even if she went to find him and delay his rescue, she feared that she would lose her life.


    "Can she be saved?" Yun Qian''s finger bones were curled tightly as he slowly asked.


    Ye Zhuozhuo walked forward and stretched out his hand to feel Xiruo''s pulse. It was already close to zero, and was probably held in place by a single breath. Immediately, his tears could not help but fall, and he did not make a sound.


    Seeing her reaction, Yun Qian knew what the result would be. The bone of his finger was almost embedded into her flesh, and she could not help but shiver slightly.


    If it wasn''t for her, why would she be so stupid? Did she not know that if anything happened to her, it would be even worse than death!


    "Brother." Ye Zhuozhuo was heartbroken, she understood that her brother''s sadness, was probably more than ten or even a hundred times greater than hers, and in that moment, he did not know how to comfort her, "You, don''t be sad, I''ll go look for Master right now, I''ll go find Master right now, and she''ll definitely have a way to save Xi Ruo''s life!"


    Yun Qian tried his best to calm down, saying, "No need, I have a way."


    Instantly, and Ye Zhuozhuo''s faces revealed looks of astonishment, and they hurriedly asked: "Do you have a way to save Xi Ruo?"


    "But, brother, you''re not a physician. What can you do to save her?" Ye Zhuozhuo seemed to be suspicious.

 C217

    Yun Qian slowly stood up and his tone became a little calmer, "If I say so, so be it. However, I need you two to help me go outside the bamboo forest and collect the Mysterious Mirage Ganoderma and Heavenly Marks Grass. These two medicinal ingredients are exactly the same.


    Mu Lingxi slightly frowned and suggested: "Yun Qian, Brilliant Stick is a doctor, why not let her stay. Why don''t the two of us go find medicinal ingredients for her?"


    Normally, he would rather search for medicinal ingredients than let his sister travel through mountains and rivers. Today, he probably wanted to stay by her side all the time, so he let her go!


    Although he realized that something was amiss, Mu Lingxi did not think too much about it.


    "Illusionary Profound Ganoderma, Heavenly Marks Grass." Ye Zhuozhuo thought as he repeated the two ingredients again.


    Of these two ingredients, one could treat internal injuries while the other could treat external injuries. This was indeed true, but even if these two Sixth Rank ingredients were used to refine the Sixth Rank, they still wouldn''t be able to cure Xiruo''s injuries!


    After all, the Soul Devouring Staff was a Divine Instrument.


    On this point, Ye Zhuozhuo expressed some doubts in her heart, but she herself, as a doctor, was not very high, so she naturally did not dare to casually voice it out.


    "During the battle with Yun Lichen, I was severely injured, so I can only trouble the two of you to find the ingredients." Yun Qian opened his mouth and spoke in a leisurely manner, sounding rather reasonable and reasonable.


    Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo looked at each other, thinking that saving the other was more important, they nodded and agreed: "Mn, we will quickly find the medicinal ingredients."


    "Be careful on your way." Yun Qian spat out these words as he stared at the back view of the two of them leaving. He was lost in thought for quite a while, but the look in his eyes was as though he was saying goodbye to them.


    After successfully separating the two, he turned his head around. The dense white Spiritual Strength moved, and first protected Xiruo''s Ling Dan. Otherwise, if the Ling Dan fell in a while, there would be no way to use the Heaven Returning Technique anymore!


    Yun Qian gently held onto Xiruo''s small hand, looked at her completely bloodless face, and said: "You little fool, why did you help me block that attack? If that Soul Devouring Staff landed on me, it would at most cause me to lose my Spiritual Strength, and not take my life."


    This girl had clearly been indifferent to him just now, suspecting that he might have killed Mu Jin. But when he was truly in danger, she still ignored everything else and protected him with all her might!


    "Mu Jin''s death should have dealt a huge blow to you. Even though all of the evidence points towards me, you still did not completely believe me. I know that in your heart, you still believe me." Yun Qian''s voice was warm like jade, it was pleasant to hear, "We had agreed earlier, after I settle this with Yun Lichen, I will explain everything clearly to you, and let you know the truth behind this matter!"


    "Even though you may not be able to hear me now, I''ll still explain it to you." Yun Qian went closer to her, and her tone revealed a little helplessness, "Mu Jin, it was Yun Lichen who killed him, he is my twin brothers, and it''s not that I don''t want to tell you the past, it''s just that it''s just that it''s hard to tell you the truth. That brother of mine, his strength and attributes are all the same as me, that''s why he would perfectly blame all of this to me.


    "Heh." He then laughed at himself, "But disappointment is good as well. If I die, you will feel sad for me. If I can''t protect you from now on, you must take good care of yourself. Also, our child ¡­"


    His eyes were slightly red. It was not because he wanted to die, but because he was worried that if he was not by her side in the future, there would be someone who could take care of her for him.


    Yun Qian lowered her head and kissed her cherry lips, absorbing the sweet taste from her mouth.


    After a long while, Yun Qian finally moved her lips away and took out a dagger from the Storage Ring. The sharp dagger was unsheathed and stabbed into her chest, fresh blood flowing down her clothes and completely stained her fingers and bones.


    Yun Qian pulled out the dagger, and ruthlessly stabbed himself in the heart once again. With a Spiritual Strength in his palm, he took out the Beast Core that was faintly surging with the berserk Spiritual Strength.


    With a wave of his sleeve, a stream of Spiritual Strength appeared, covering the hundred thousand foot long light of the Beast Core. Yun Qian''s fingerbone slightly trembled as it came closer, gently feeding the Beast Core to Xiruo.


    In the next second, the Beast Core entered Su Xiruo''s body and the boulder at the bottom of Yun Qian''s heart fell onto the ground. The fingerbone loosened a bit and the dagger in his hand dropped to the ground.


    The entire room fell into an unprecedented silence.


    In a moment, a wisp of smoke flashed past and Su Ye appeared in the room. Upon seeing this scene, he could not help but turn pale from fright, "Second Highness, Yun Qian!"


    Su Ye took a step forward. He sensed that the Spiritual Strength around Yun Qian''s body was slowly dissipating. He knew then that he was still a step too late!


    Was the Second Prince really willing to sacrifice his life for this human girl?


    With a helpless sigh, Su Ye gracefully brushed her sleeves and disappeared from the hut along with Yun Qian.


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    Su Ye knelt in front of Fox Queen with a look of grief: "Reporting to Fox Queen, First Prince has already been turned into ashes. I have brought back the Second Prince and First Prince''s corpses."


    Fox Queen was stunned for a moment, his face did not reveal much shock, "What''s there to be sad about? It''s all his fault that he''s useless! "


    She had already expected that both sides would suffer losses from this battle. What made her surprised was that Yun Qian actually defeated Li Chen. One must know that Li Chen''s level was obviously higher than Yun Qian''s.


    It looked like there were many things about her youngest son that she couldn''t have imagined!


    Su Ye had already expected that Fox Queen would have such an attitude. She had never cared about the life and death of her two sons, and only cared about her own interests.


    "Where''s Yun Qian?" Fox Queen asked indifferently, with an indifferent look.


    "Empress, the Second Prince is also severely injured." Su Ye slightly lowered his head, not knowing what to say. "When this old man finds His Highness the Second, I''ll discover, I''ll discover ¡­"


    Fox Queen glanced at him, seeing Su Ye''s strange expression, he asked coldly: "What did you discover?"


    Su Ye waved his sleeves, and an eight tailed Spirit Fox appeared from within his sleeves. That Spirit Fox, however, had already sunk into a coma, and its aura was extremely weak.


    The Spiritual Strength of the spirit beasts seemed to have come from the Beast Core, but at this moment, she could not feel the Spiritual Strength in Yun Qian''s body at all!


    "The Second Prince fed the Beast Core to that human girl!" Su Ye knew in his heart that this matter could not be hidden from the Fox Queen, so he spoke the truth.


    Fox Queen squinted slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a trace of dangerous aura. "Is that the human girl that Yun Qian saved from the Fox Clan the other time?"


    "That''s right." Su Ye did not deny it.


    Immediately, Fox Queen''s finger bones curled up tightly and his face revealed a trace of gloominess.


    It looks like Yun Qian was even more concerned about that human girl, if he didn''t care, he wouldn''t have charged into the Fox Clan himself, and would even be willing to dig out Beast Core s for her!


    That woman was truly not simple!


    "Empress." Su Ye sighed, as if he could read the killing intent in Fox Queen''s words, "Please don''t be angry, we can find that girl later to settle the score, the most important thing now is the Second Highness'' life!"


    If it was not a normal situation, Yun Qian would at most lose ninety percent of his Spiritual Strength after losing the Beast Core. But now, with him heavily injured and trying to dig the Beast Core out, he would not even be able to keep his life!


    Fox Queen slowly stood up. With a slight smirk on his face, he said: "Li Wu Chen has already turned into dust. How could I let this one and only son of mine be in danger?"


    Hearing Fox Queen say this, Su Ye became a lot more at ease, and asked tentatively, "Does the Empress have any way to save Second Highness?"


    "Yes, but not now." Fox Queen had a calm expression, and he was here again. The Imperial Consort sat down on her bed, as if there was still something she hadn''t completed.


    "Empress, the Second Prince is in imminent danger. If we don''t save him soon, it will be very difficult to preserve his life!" Su Ye saw that Fox Queen was not anxious at all, but he himself was starting to become anxious.

 C218

    "What''s there to be anxious about? It''s not like we can''t save him." Fox Queen snorted, "I''m still waiting for my prey to appear."


    "Prey?" Su Ye did not understand what she meant.


    Fox Queen flicked her sleeves lightly and held the dying Eight Tailed Spirit Fox in her arms. She gently caressed the Spirit Fox''s hair and said carelessly: "I am quite curious about that human girl."


    She was curious, just what did that human look like? How could it captivate Yun Qian, to the point where he did not even hesitate to sacrifice his own life!


    "Then... Why don''t I invite that lady over? " Su Ye took the initiative to suggest.


    "No need." The Fox Queen coldly cut him off, "He''s just a lowly human, there''s no need to invite him! When she wakes up, she will naturally come to see me in Fox Clan. "


    Su Ye looked at Fox Queen''s sinister and fierce eyes and knew that something bad was probably going to happen. However, he didn''t know how to stop it.


    After a long while, the Fox Queen frowned and waved his hand: "Forget it, you can go down first and send some people to bury First Prince!"


    With these words, she spoke of her own son''s future affairs as if she were speaking of an insignificant matter.


    "Yes." Su Ye lowered his head slightly, and with a heavy heart, turned around and left the Inner Palace.


    Fox Queen lowered his eyes, looked at the little fox in his embrace, and said with a frivolous and mysterious tone, "Yun Qian, if in the future, you are willing to listen to me obediently, Royal Mother will naturally push you to the position of Patriarch of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and let you become the ruler of all beasts!"


    Her ambitious eyes revealed a bit of scheming.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" In the hut, Su Xiruo violently coughed a few times, a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at his surroundings, and did not know what had happened.


    Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her heart, she felt as if something was forcefully injected into her body, it was extremely uncomfortable, she wanted to use Ling Dan to suppress it, but no matter what, she could not.


    She stretched out her hand to feel the wound on her chest, unexpectedly it had already miraculously healed!


    "Why is it that I''m the only one left in this wooden house?" Su Xiruo looked around, and faintly felt that in this wooden house, there was a strong wave of Strength of Beast Spirit that had yet to disperse.


    "Xiruo!" Just as she was feeling extremely suspicious, Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi coincidentally came back to pick the herbs. Seeing that she had already woken up, she felt that it was a bit inconceivable.


    "Xiruo ¡­ "You, are you alright?" Ye Zhuozhuo thought that she was seeing things, and extended her hand to caress Su Xiruo''s wounds, but they had actually completely disappeared. Her face had also become redder, and it was impossible to tell what kind of injury she had suffered.


    That Soul Devouring Staff was an ancient Divine Instrument. Even if his brother was injured by the Soul Devouring Staff, he would probably lose half his life. But in less than two hours, the wounds on Xiruo''s body had actually completely healed.


    "I think so too." Su Xiruo bit her lower lip, even she did not understand the situation.


    Although her physique was special and different from normal people, the injuries left behind by the Divine Instrument could not be completely healed in just two hours!


    Then, Su Xiruo asked them, "Where''s Yun Qian?"


    Mu Lingxi said in a daze, "Just now, Yun Qian said that he had a way to save you, and told me to go with Radiant to look for medicinal herbs. We had just returned, and he had already disappeared."


    Su Xiruo slightly frowned as an ominous premonition suddenly emerged in his heart. "He''s not a doctor, what method can he possibly have to save me?"


    "I''m also very curious, but your injuries have truly recovered. It seems like brother didn''t lie." Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, feeling that something was still not right.


    In the next second, Su Xiruo could not hold back and crawled up from the bed. A sharp pain came from her heart, as though there was something that wanted to occupy her entire body, and she was unable to control it!


    "When he was fighting with Yun Lichen just now, Yun Qian was already heavily injured, where could he have gone by himself? "No, I have to go find him!" At this moment, all of her attention was on Yun Qian.


    "Xiruo, since you''re not feeling well either, you should rest for the moment. I''ll go out with A Xi to look around." Seeing that Xi Ruo was a little abnormal, Ye Zhuozhuo was a little worried.


    Su Xiruo shook her head: "I''m fine, I''m going to look for him!"


    If she didn''t see Yun Qian safe and sound, she wouldn''t be able to rest in peace. She would have to explain the misunderstanding to Yun Qian herself and tell him that she was blaming him!


    Without waiting for the two to speak, Su Xiruo transformed into a cloud of smoke and disappeared from the room, instantly arriving in the bamboo forest that had already turned into ruins.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian!" Su Xiruo searched through the entire bamboo forest, but he still could not find any trace of Yun Qian. Even the items that Yun Lichen left behind had completely disappeared.


    Her fingers were curled up tightly as she fell to the side. Her expression was one of loss as her inner emotions were thrown into disarray. She had a bad premonition!


    Where did Yun Qian go? If it was before, he would definitely stay by her side and wait for her to wake up. If it wasn''t for him, he definitely wouldn''t have left her!


    But now, where should I go to find him?


    Just as she was at a loss as to what to do, a light wisp of smoke floated out and Su Ye appeared in front of her.


    However, Su Xiruo could faintly feel that the strong Strength of Beast Spirit s around his body could not help but raise his vigilance: "You are?"


    "I am the Great Clan Elder of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Su Ye." Su Ye did not conceal his identity, and blurted out.


    Hearing this, Su Xiruo''s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "You are the Great Elder of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, do you know where Yun Qian is?"


    She had heard Red Fox say before that Yun Qian was the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and this old man was the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Perhaps, he would know Yun Qian''s whereabouts!


    "Follow me, I will bring you to see the Second Prince." Su Ye did not deny, and directly said that he wanted to bring her to see Yun Qian.


    Su Xiruo was startled for a moment. Although she felt that she might not believe the words of the old man, but at this moment, she really wanted to see Yun Qian again, wanted to know if he was in danger.


    Su Ye brought Su Xiruo and came to Nine-Tailed Fox Clan like a palace. It was magnificent, imposing and majestic with many pavilions and a few caves all around.


    If it wasn''t for Su Ye leading the way, it would have been very easy for Su Xiruo to get lost by himself.


    "Great Elder, is Yun Qian''s current Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" Su Xiruo worriedly asked.


    "That''s right, come with me." Su Ye did not say much, and brought Su Xiruo to a side hall. The spirit beasts guarding outside all had strength above the Heavenly Spirit Master, and there were even two or three Spirit Monarch!


    It was no doubt one of the three great gods'' Orc Clan. Any one of the guards had the strength of Heavenly Spirit Master.


    This, was Yun Qian''s home? He had never told her his true identity, and she had never expected that he was actually the second prince of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!


    Right now, does he want to return to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, which means that he has to leave me?


    As she thought of this, Xi Ruo felt a little uneasy in her heart. The stabbing pain in her heart became even stronger.


    Heh, however, he couldn''t be too selfish. Since he belonged in Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, he shouldn''t have stopped him from returning to his own home. He shouldn''t have asked him to stay in Humans to accompany him!


    If he really chose to stay, he wouldn''t blame him.


    Entering the Inner Palace, Su Ye turned and dismissed all the guards. The moment Su Xiruo stepped into the Inner Palace, he saw Yun Qian lying unconscious on the bed, his breath was drifting, his face was pale white without a trace of blood.


    "Yun Qian!" In the next second, Su Xiruo''s state of mind instantly collapsed. Lying on the side of the bed, she gently held onto Yun Qian''s hand, but discovered that his fingers were as cold as iron, as if he was a dead man. She could barely feel the Spiritual Strength around his body.


    "What''s going on?" Su Xiruo seemed to have panicked, "What happened to Yun Qian?"

 C219

    Su Xiruo''s hands trembled slightly as he touched Yun Qian''s meridians. He actually could not sense the existence of his Beast Core.


    "Where is Yun Qian''s Beast Core ¡­" Su Xiruo panicked a little as he did not know what was happening.


    Beast Core was the most important thing to a spirit beast. It was like a human Ling Dan.


    Yun Qian had already suffered heavy internal injuries. If he was protected by the Beast Core, he could still preserve his life, but now, without the Beast Core, with his current body, how could he withstand such internal injuries?!


    At this time, a melodious female voice came from outside the door, "Yun Qian had fought with First Prince and was gravely injured. As a result, even the Beast Core were destroyed."


    Su Xiruo turned his head around, and saw that Fox Queen was dressed in purple luxurious clothes, the jade pearl was gently swaying, her beautiful figure was extremely attractive, she looked graceful and elegant, but she was only in her early thirties.


    "You are?" Su Xiruo tried his best to calm down as he asked her.


    "I am the Queen of Fox Clan, Yun Qian''s Royal Mother." Fox Queen lazily said his name.


    This young woman, was actually the famous Fox Queen?


    "Fox-Queen, you just said that Yun Qian''s Beast Core was destroyed?" Su Xiruo didn''t forget to ask.


    "That''s right." Fox Queen knew clearly in his heart that Yun Qian had dug out the Beast Core and gave it to this girl, but he had not told her the truth.


    She did not want to leave this girl to think too much into it, and it would be best if she forever stopped thinking about Yun Qian. After all, a lowly human, was not worthy of marrying into their Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, and immediately looked at Fox Queen with hope. His eyes reddened: "You are Fox Queen, you must have a way to save Yun Qian''s life, right?"


    Basically, the Beast Core was only a hair''s breadth away from death. Even if the Poison Sovereign came, there might not be any way to save them.


    However, Su Xiruo was still not willing to give up on this last bit of hope.


    "Now, only our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan can save Yun Qian''s life." The Fox Queen did not reply and looked at Su Xiruo frivolously, "However, why should I save him for your sake?"


    "Fox Queen, Yun Qian is your son. I believe that you don''t want anything to happen to him." Su Xiruo lowered his gaze and couldn''t help but feel a little apprehensive.


    For some reason, she couldn''t hear any concern for her son from Fox Queen''s tone, and it was mostly indifference!


    As a result, she was not sure if Fox Queen was willing to save Yun Qian or not.


    However, the Fox Queen still wanted to keep him in suspense. "In order to protect his life, I will have to spend quite a bit of Spiritual Strength."


    Su Xiruo saw the situation, and immediately kneeled in front of Fox Queen, with an extremely sincere tone: "Fox-Queen, as long as you are willing to save Yun Qian, no matter what you want me to do, as long as it is something I can do, I will promise you!"


    "Alright, then pass your Ling Dan to me." "As long as you hand your Ling Dan over, I will make an equal exchange and save Yun Qian''s life!"


    Fox Queen wanted to take Yun Qian''s Beast Core back as well!


    Seeing Su Xiruo hesitate for a second, the Fox Queen snorted: "What, are you unwilling to part with it?"


    Heh, thinking about it, it was quite funny. Yun Qian had dug out Beast Core s to save this little girl, but now, this little girl was actually cherishing her own Ling Dan s.


    He really didn''t know where Yun Qian had taken a fancy to this little girl.


    "Alright, I agree." Unexpectedly, Su Xiruo actually agreed without hesitation.


    The reason why he did not immediately agree to it was because he was worried about whether the child in his womb would be in danger or not if he lost his Ling Dan.


    "I''ve agreed, I can''t regret it." Fox Queen thought that she was joking and asked again.


    "I will never go back on my word!" Xiruo''s tone was firm, as if she had already made up her mind.


    It was just a Ling Dan, if it could exchange for Yun Qian''s life, she would willingly do it!


    "Fine, I like a straightforward girl like you." Fox Queen smiled, the Spiritual Strength condensed in his palm.


    Su Xiruo closed his eyes, he was already fully prepared. But who knew that just as Fox Queen''s Spiritual Strength was about to cut open Su Xiruo''s chest, it was bounced back by a strong force from Su Xiruo''s body!


    Even Fox Queen was pushed back two steps by that force, the bones of his fingers curled tightly and he could not help but feel a little angry.


    Damn it, Yun Qian''s Beast Core was actually protecting this girl, there was no way he could do it, nor could he do it!


    Su Xiruo opened his eyes and saw that the Fox Queen was pushed back and he was completely fine. He could not help but be a little surprised: "Fox Queen, you haven''t made your move yet?"


    "Forget it!" Fox Queen snorted coldly. She knew clearly in her heart that if Yun Qian''s Beast Core blocked her, with her strength, there was no way she could have harmed this damned girl.


    Su Xiruo was also baffled. Just as he was about to speak, Fox Queen spoke up first: "I have shown you mercy today and spared you my life. However, if you want me to save Yun Qian, you must agree to a condition of mine!"


    "Whatever conditions you have, please speak freely, Fox Queen!" Su Xiruo looked into her eyes, waiting for her to state her conditions.


    "I''ll let you leave Yun Qian. From now on, I''ll sever all ties with him!" Fox Queen coldly glanced at her, her red lips enunciating word by word, "Can you do it?"


    From then on. Breaking ties with him!


    These words were like a thunderbolt that struck Su Xiruo''s heart. In that moment, she found it hard to accept.


    "Fox Queen, Yun Qian and I are mutual in our love, you can just mention the other conditions as much as you want. I will definitely fulfill those conditions to the best of my ability, but this one condition ¡­" Asking her to leave Yun Qian, she really could not do it.


    Fox Queen coldly snorted, obviously a little displeased. "Su Xiruo, a lowly human like you dares to dream of marrying into our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan? Don''t even think about it, I can''t afford to lose such a person. If a girl like you were to marry into my family, I would rather not have a son like him! "


    Fox Queen''s intention was simple and clear, she only had this condition, if Su Xiruo did not agree, she would rather not save others!


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh. His voice trembled slightly: "Does Fox Queen have to be like this?"


    "I think this little sacrifice should be alright for you, right?" "It''s best that Yun Qian stays in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Not only will I be able to protect his life, I can also restore his strength. If I were to stay by your side, what would you do?"


    Su Xiruo sighed, trying his best to not let his tears fall. Although Fox Queen''s words were unpleasant to hear, it was still the truth!


    She could not save Yun Qian''s life, and was even more so unable to help Yun Qian restore his Spiritual Strength. Yun Qian was such an arrogant person, if he really lost all his Spiritual Strength, even if he barely managed to preserve his life, it would be a huge blow to him!


    Thinking about it here, Su Xiruo endured the pain and agreed to it word by word: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you can save Yun Qian, I can leave him!"


    Only the heavens knew how much courage it would take for her to say these words!


    "It''s still not enough to leave him. Su Xiruo, you have to make Yun Qian completely give up on you!" Fox Queen''s goal is not just this, "Otherwise, in the future, I don''t even know whether or not you guys will come back to life."


    Was he going to make Yun Qian completely give up on her? This meant that they would never have another future.


    Su Xiruo tried his best to calm down, and said: "I will make Yun Qian give up on me."


    "Very good, I like people like you who are tactful." Fox Queen smiled, feeling extremely proud of himself.


    "Then, Fox Queen, please save Yun Qian first." Su Xiruo would not be at ease until he had personally witnessed Yun Qian escaping from his life.


    On the Fox Queen''s cold face, a hint of gloominess appeared, and the Spiritual Strength around his body started to soar, entering Yun Qian''s body.


    Su Xiruo stood at the side and stared fixedly at Yun Qian. The Fox Queen gave Yun Qian almost an hour of life before he stopped, cold sweat appearing on the side of his forehead.


    Seeing that the Fox Queen had stopped, Su Xiruo hurried over and tested Yun Qian''s pulse again.

 C220

    Yun Qian had already recovered some of his vital signs. However, he had barely managed to keep his life. Even if he woke up, it was likely that he would not be able to do much!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo could not help but open his mouth: "Fox Queen ¡­"


    "When you personally fulfill your promise, I will continue to carry out his fate. Everything will depend on your own performance." Fox Queen was still cautious. She knew that Su Xiruo was a girl with a lot of schemes, she couldn''t be careless!


    Su Xiruo knew that she was on guard against him, and sighed helplessly: "Fox Queen, now that Yun Qian''s and my life is in your hands, what else do you have to fear?"


    She only wanted to see Yun Qian wake up earlier.


    "Heh, if I could have killed you, I would have given up on talking to you!" Fox Queen was also flustered and exasperated, but he couldn''t do anything.


    Yun Qian''s Beast Core was currently in this girl''s body, so he couldn''t kill her at all. Otherwise, he would have already made his move, how would he give her any chance!


    Suddenly, Fox Queen got a little closer to her, she suddenly felt something strange in her stomach, her eyebrows raised, and her finger bones extended out, wanting to touch Su Xiruo''s lower abdomen.


    Wrong... This girl actually had Yun Qian''s flesh and blood with her?


    Su Xiruo subconsciously took a step back to protect his lower abdomen. He stared at Fox Queen vigilantly without saying a word.


    She was afraid that she would expose something the moment she opened her mouth, so she could not help but feel somewhat apprehensive.


    "The noble blood of our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, cannot be tainted by a lowly human!" The Fox Queen was enraged as he ordered coldly, "Men!"


    The two protectors at the side moved forward in a flash, firmly locking Su Xiruo in place. For a moment, Su Xiruo was unable to move. What do you want to do? "


    "This bastard, it''s better not to leave!" The Fox Queen said coldly, his gaze sharp enough to kill.


    After a while, a Maidservant delivered a bowl of soup. From a distance, Su Xiruo knew that the soup was for abortion, and immediately wanted to break free from the restraints of the two: "Let go of me, quickly let go of me!"


    And these two protectors were both the strength of the Spirit Sovereign, how could she easily escape from them? Seeing the approaching Fox Queen, Su Xiruo panicked and could only plead for his life.


    Fox-Queen, I have already promised you that I will sever all ties with Yun Qian. If you don''t want to get in touch with me soon, please let me off the hook and let me keep this child. I will never mention a word with Yun Qian.


    She was already losing Yun Qian. If she lost this child as well, then what was the point in living in the future?


    "Heh." Fox Queen completely ignored her words, "Su Xiruo, I am not stupid. Since you want to leave Yun Qian, then I will not leave any hidden dangers for myself!"


    If he really allowed this child to stay, it would be the greatest danger. In the future, the two of them would be destined to be severed forever!


    Thus, this child was destined to die without a doubt!


    "Fox-Queen, I beg you, please let this child go, this child is innocent." Su Xiruo struggled to kneel down, "You can do whatever you want to me. I only beg you, do not harm this child. Are you really going to be so cruel? "


    The Fox Queen did not care whether or not this was his son''s flesh and blood. Hearing her words, he became even angrier as he moved closer to her and held Su Xiruo''s chin with one hand: "So what if you are Yun Qian''s flesh and blood less threatening me? but it was still tainted by a lowly human like you. This kind of vile spawn, my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan cannot admit it! "


    With that, Fox Queen took the soup and was about to drink it into Su Xiruo''s mouth. Su Xiruo struggled with all his might as he spat out the soup he had just drank: "Let me go, let me go!"


    Fox Queen snorted. He became a little impatient: "Men, hold her down for me!"


    "Yes." Three more guards came forward before they could barely hold Su Xiruo down. At this moment, despair filled their hearts, and they knew that no one could save them.


    With a cold face, Fox Queen poured all the medicinal soup into Su Xiruo''s mouth, pinched her neck and forced her to swallow her words. She smashed the bowl on the ground and revealed a proud smile.


    "Ah ¡­"


    Only then did the five Protectors release their grip, and in the next second, an intense pain arose from their lower abdomen, and fresh blood flowed out from Su Xiruo''s leg. She watched helplessly as her child bled from her body bit by bit, yet was unable to do anything.


    "My child, my child ¡­"


    Su Xiruo held onto her lower abdomen as more and more blood flowed out, she could not stop the pain, tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes as she stared at Fox Queen coldly: "I hate you, I hate you!"


    This Fox Queen was truly cold-blooded, even his own biological grandson could bear to do such a thing!


    "Su Xiruo, you better not let Yun Qian know that I forced you to take this Fallen Body Pill." The Fox Queen smirked and sat down on a seat at the side, casually drinking his tea, "If you ruin the relationship between mother and son, not only will I make things difficult for you, I won''t let you off either!"


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, as he slowly crawled up from the ground while enduring the severe pain. There was still fresh blood flowing out from his legs, as he looked at Fox Queen with hatred, yet wished that he could do anything: "Alright, I promise you!"


    However, she would definitely kill Fox Queen herself and take revenge for the child that had just died in her womb. But now, she didn''t have the ability to resist at all.


    "At least you''re sensible." Fox Queen said in disdain, "Yun Qian will need a few more days to wake up. I believe you don''t need me to tell you what to do!"


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, as his ghastly pale face forced out a bitter laugh. "I''ll just never meet with Yun Qian again, that''s it."


    She turned her head around and stumbled, falling down onto the bed. She gently held Yun Qian''s hand, and a drop of scalding hot tears fell on the back of his hand, gently melting away.


    "Yun Qian, from today onwards, you must take good care of yourself without me following you around, understand? Heh, but after thinking about it carefully, you have always been the one taking care of me. In the future, without me, you should feel more relaxed, right? "


    In the next second, Yun Qian''s pupils slightly twitched as tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes. However, at this moment, he had yet to regain consciousness and was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.


    "Men, expel this human from the palace." Fox Queen could not bear to see this girl stay by Yun Qian''s side, so he immediately gave the order.


    "No need!" Su Xiruo''s fingers were curled tightly together, the severe pain in her stomach made it difficult for her to move even a single inch, but she still held onto the side of the bed and slowly stood up, "I can walk by myself!"


    This was her only bit of dignity. She could not lose it no matter what!


    "That''s for the best." Fox Queen looked down at her condescendingly. "My Fox Clan''s Sacred Grounds is not a place where a lowly human like you can come to. From today onwards, never step foot in ever again!"


    Su Xiruo ignored her. With a cold expression, he strenuously walked forward, and gave Yun Qian one last look before reluctantly leaving the inner palace hall.


    The hatred of someone who killed his son, was irreconcilable. One day, she would definitely execute the Fox Clan Queen herself, and make her pay with her life for her child!


    Fox Queen looked at the little girl''s stubborn figure and did not take it to heart at all.


    The Great Elder stood at the side, not saying a word from beginning to end. He was clear in his heart that no one could go against the Fox Queen''s decision.


    If you had to blame something, you could only blame that girl''s bad luck.


    "Su Ye, send people to watch over this inner hall, no one is allowed to enter without permission, if the second prince wakes up, the first thing you do is let me know." Fox Queen stood up slowly, glanced at the people on the bed and ordered coldly.


    There wasn''t the slightest trace of concern in his ice-cold tone.


    "Yes." Su Ye could only agree helplessly.

 C221

    Su Xiruo muddle-headedly left the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, dragging his heavy body to return to the Bamboo Lodge. When Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi saw the bloodstained Xiruo, they turned pale with fright.


    "Ruo Ruo, what happened to you?" Ye Zhuozhuo went forward and supported her, his face full of concern: "You''re injured!"


    "I''m fine ¡­" Su Xiruo shook his head, and slowly let go of Ye Zhuozhuo''s hand, "I was slightly injured, and it wasn''t serious."


    In the next second, Xi Ruo''s vision darkened and she took the opportunity to fall down. Ye Zhuozhuo caught hold of her body, and said with extreme worry: "Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo, what happened to you?"


    "Brilliant. She must be hurt." Mu Lingxi frowned, she then picked up Su Xiruo''s body and carried her into the room, placing her on the bed.


    Ye Zhuozhuo extended a hand to feel her pulse, and her beautiful face instantly paled. "How could it be ¡­"


    "Brilliant, what''s wrong?" Mu Lingxi could not help but ask.


    Ye Zhuozhuo''s finger bones were curled tightly, he did not say a word, and the pure wood attribute Spiritual Strength followed his finger tip and entered Xiruo''s body.


    In a moment, Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw the light in front of him, as he said indifferently, "Brilliant ¡­"


    "Ruo Ruo, where did you go, your baby ¡­" "Why..." Ye Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, his eyes flushed red, he felt extremely sad.


    She had just checked Xi Ruo''s pulse and discovered that the fetus in her womb had stopped!


    "There''s no sign of life left, is there?" The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised slightly as he laughed bitterly. Although he already knew that this child was no more, he still couldn''t help but feel sad.


    Ye Zhuozhuo did not say anything, but tears flowed down her face.


    "It''s good that it''s gone." In the next second, Su Xiruo laughed, his empty eyes could no longer show any emotions, "There''s no more, my entire body will be relaxed."


    "Ruo Ruo, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Zhuozhuo looked at her haggard appearance and felt his heart ache.


    Mu Lingxi, who was at the side, was also extremely angry, "Xiruo, just who harmed your child, tell us!"


    "No one harmed it. It''s just that I don''t want this child." Su Xiruo slightly nodded, her tone was calm.


    "What did you say?" Mu Lingxi and Ye Zhuozhuo looked at each other, probably thinking that Xi Ruo was joking with them, "Xi Ruo, tell us the truth, this child ¡­ This is your brother''s child! "


    "That''s the truth." Su Xiruo''s expression still did not change, his tone slightly cold.


    "Then Yun Qian ¡­"


    "In the future, don''t mention this name in front of me." Su Xiruo interrupted Mu Lingxi.


    Immediately, the two of them did not understand what had happened. Just as they were about to ask, Su Xiruo took the initiative to ask: "Brilliant, I''m a little tired. I want to rest a bit."


    Ye Zhuozhuo sighed helplessly. He knew that she probably didn''t want to say anything now, so he didn''t continue asking: "Then, you should take a good rest first."


    With that, she pulled Mu Lingxi and left the room.


    "If she is abnormal today." After they left, Ye Zhuozhuo had a look of being afraid, "Big brother''s whereabouts are also unknown, A Xi, I''m really worried!"


    Mu Lingxi slightly sighed, "Let''s wait until Xiruo''s mood improves before we carefully ask her."


    "I''m worried about my brother''s safety." Ye Zhuozhuo still could not relax.


    Mu Lingxi thought about it carefully, then said: "Me too, how about this, you stay here and take care of Xiruo, don''t go anywhere. I''ll go look around, and see if I can find Yun Qian''s whereabouts."


    After all, when the two of them left, Yun Qian was also heavily injured, so where could he go by himself?


    "Alright." Ye Zhuozhuo did not forget to remind her, "However, you must be extra careful and not run too far away!"


    "Yes." Mu Lingxi nodded slightly, then turned and left the hut.


    Ye Zhuozhuo watched him leave, and after staring for a long while, he silently prayed in his heart. A Xi must definitely be alright, he must definitely bring his brother back safely.


    Inside the room, Su Xiruo lied on the bed, and closed his eyes slightly. In his mind, those bloody scenes constantly appeared in his mind, over and over again, as if they wanted to slow her down.


    She seemed to have lost consciousness, to have lost consciousness, to be staring dumbly ahead, to come in occasionally to talk to her, or to bring in some soup, but she seemed not to hear.


    "Ruo Ruo, you haven''t spoken to me for three days." Ye Zhuozhuo carried the food and squatted by the bed. Looking at her lifeless look, he felt his heart aching for her, "Just eat something!"


    If Ruo Ruo''s body was weak right after she lost her child, she would really worry about what would happen if she continued like this.


    Su Xiruo slowly turned his head and looked at her, then calmly said: "Brilliant, I''m fine, don''t worry about me."


    "You have to eat something before I can rest at ease." Ye Zhuozhuo bit his lower lip, and his eyes started to turn red.


    "Put the food here. When I''m hungry, I''ll have some." Su Xiruo''s tone was calm and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.


    "Alright, then I''ll leave it here. Remember to take advantage of the heat to eat some." Seeing that she was willing to eat, Ye Zhuozhuo was overjoyed in his heart. He got up and left his room, giving her some calm and private space.


    It looks like Ruo Ruo''s mood should have been a lot better. Thinking of this, Ye Zhuozhuo felt quite happy in his heart.


    After a while, Ye Zhuozhuo gently pushed the door open to see if he had fallen asleep again. When he pushed open the door to look, the person on the bed had already disappeared!


    "Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo!" Ye Zhuozhuo anxiously searched through the various rooms of the hut, but he couldn''t find Su Xiruo''s figure no matter how hard he searched.


    If she was alone, where could she run to?


    Ye Zhuozhuo left the hut and went out to look for Su Xiruo. He called his name anxiously.


    Su Xiruo was alone as he aimlessly arrived at the Poison Sect Realm. As he looked at this ruined and ruined place in front of him, he was lost in thought for a long time.


    As she slowly walked in, not a single person could be seen. This was the place where she had stayed for more than a year, but now, it had become a place where things changed and people changed.


    Two days ago, she had heard that Poison Sovereign had already brought along several disciples and left the Poison Sect, that was why she had a sudden thought to return to take a look around this place that was once glorious.


    "Young master, is that you?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.


    Su Xiruo turned his head around, and only saw that Qing Yuan had appeared in front of him. Upon seeing that it really was Su Xiruo, he was extremely happy, "Young Master, you have finally returned.


    "If the Poison Sovereign left, why didn''t you leave with him?" Su Xiruo asked indifferently.


    "Young master, you know it." Qing Yuan looked at her excitedly, "Qing Yuan is the little girl whom you have rescued back to Poison Sect. When High Lord left, I found a place to hide and didn''t take them away with me. It was so that I could one day see Young Master again! "


    She hadn''t thought that she would be looking forward to this day!


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head: "Follow me, it will be tough on you. It''s better if you leave this Poison Sect, and find a good place for yourself."


    "Young master." Qing Yuan didn''t have any intention to leave from the start, "Since Qing Yuan has already decided on you, then we definitely won''t go anywhere else. Young Master, please don''t chase Qing Yuan away!"


    "I''m no longer the young master of this Poison Sect, you don''t need to call me that." Su Xiruo slightly nodded her head, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain from her heart, the powerful Spiritual Strength seemed to have started to fluctuate again, wanting to swallow her Ling Dan, or even her entire person. She herself did not know, just what kind of power was that!


    "Young master, what''s wrong?" Seeing the situation, Qing Yuan immediately went forward to support Su Xiruo, only then realizing that her face was pale, and immediately became worried, "Young Master, you seem to be injured, Qing Yuan will take you to the Inner Palace to recuperate first!"

 C222

    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Sacred Grounds.


    Fox Queen was sitting sideways in the hall, leisurely sipping tea, his mood was good. At this time, a disciple hurried over to report: "Reporting to Empress, the Second Prince has woken up!"


    The smile on the Fox Queen''s face gradually disappeared, and he stood up from the teacup in his hands: "I''ll go take a look."


    At this time, within the inner hall of the Meteorite Pavilion, Yun Qian drowsily opened his eyes, but what entered his vision was an unfamiliar scene. He hurriedly struggled to get up, "Xiruo ¡­"


    He vaguely remembered that after Xi Ruo helped him block the Soul Devouring Staff and fell into a coma, she no longer had any impression of what happened afterwards. Thus, he was very worried if Xi Ruo had escaped from danger.


    "Yun Qian." Fox Queen rushed over and sat on the side of the bed with a gentle smile on his face, "Don''t move, you''re still injured."


    His tone was filled with concern and gentleness.


    However, Yun Qian didn''t listen at all. At this moment, all that was on his mind was Xiruo, "Why am I here? What about Xiruo?"


    Fox Queen then explained: "That girl has submitted to your Beast Core, it''s good for now. Since she hasn''t thought about you and doesn''t even look at you, why should you think about her?"


    His voice sounded calm, but it carried the tone of sowing discord.


    Yun Qian did not take her words to heart at all. The moment he moved, all the wounds on his body would be ripped open. However, he did not care about it as he slowly stood up, planning to leave this place without saying a word.


    "Yun Qian, where are you going?" Fox Queen asked even though he knew the answer to the question, and pulled on Yun Qian''s sleeves.


    "It has nothing to do with you!" Yun Qian shook off her hand, his voice was cold as he turned around and left without looking back.


    At the same time, the Fox Queen gave a meaningful glance to the guards at the entrance, signalling them to give way. Yun Qian then left the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan without any obstructions.


    "Empress, why didn''t you stop the Second Prince?" A protector at the side couldn''t help but ask, clearly in a hurry.


    Fox Queen snorted coldly and said complacently: "If he wants to go, then let him. Since he doesn''t want to hit the south wall and turn back, then I''ll let him hit me once."


    Although he did not understand what Fox Queen meant, he did not dare refute her. After all, every decision made by Fox Queen was well thought through.


    "You will follow the second prince. If anything happens to the prince, I will ask you!" Fox Queen turned and instructed the protector at the side.


    "Yes sir!"


    Fox Queen looked at the protector''s back as he left, his lips curled up into a mysterious smile, as though everything that he did was under her control.


    In the Poison Sect realm, it had already become a large piece of ruins, and Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan stayed in a cabinet that had not been completely destroyed.


    Su Xiruo sat cross legged on the bed, closed his eyes, the gold Spiritual Strength revolving around his body unceasingly. He slightly frowned, wanting to suppress the special energy that was faintly stirring inside his body, but no matter what, he could not.


    The Spiritual Strength was scattered and spread to every corner of her body. Although she did not know what it was, she was sure that if she did not absorb the power, she would be hit by the backlash!


    After a long while, Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood, as if he was being attacked by fire.


    "Young Master, what exactly happened? You look as if you''ve suffered a heavy injury." Qing Yuan looked at her worriedly and asked.


    Su Xiruo shook his head lightly, "I''m fine."


    A few days ago, she had been in labor, so her body was still weak. Coupled with the mysterious power in her body, she looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness and was very haggard.


    Su Xiruo then asked her, "When did Poison Sovereign leave the Poison Sect?"


    "It won''t take more than a month." Qing Yuan also could not remember clearly, "According to what I know, High Lord and the others must have taken refuge in the Profound Yin Empire, so they won''t be coming back for a while. Even if the Young Master was waiting at the Poison Sect, no one would discover him. "


    Su Xiruo nodded slightly, but his expression was still calm, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.


    Mermaid s'' Sea Area, Linglong Hall.


    Su Biyue secretly entered the Inner Palace with a bowl of porridge in his hands, seemingly curious about the appearance of the Mermaid s empress.


    Just as he stepped into the inner hall, he heard a cold and furious female voice shout, "Get out of here!"


    Then, Su Biyue saw a Mermaid maid cover her swollen face and leave the hall in a sorry state. She even fell down and fell, and the sound of something being smashed came from the hall.


    Su Biyue helped the maid up, and asked gently: "Are you alright?"


    The maid shook her head. "It''s fine. But don''t go in. The empress has been in a bad mood for the past few days. She''s angry at everyone. We don''t dare to go in and serve her now!"


    "Elder sister, then let me go." Su Biyue thought, this was a rare opportunity, he had to grab it carefully.


    "You have to be careful, the empress is always temperamental. If you say something wrong, you''ll lose your life!" The maid reminded him in a low voice, her eyes filled with fear.


    Su Biyue slightly nodded her head: "I got it, thank you sister for your kind reminder."


    After he finished speaking, Su Biyue carefully carried the porridge in his hands. Just as he stepped into the Inner Palace, a teacup smashed into the ground right below her feet and shattered.


    "Didn''t this sovereign already say it? Get the hell out of here!"


    Su Biyue was shocked, but he quickly calmed himself down. He picked up the pieces of porridge on the floor and placed it on a table, then lightly said: "Empress, if you are not satisfied, feel free to vent to the servants, it''s just that you don''t need to starve yourself to death."


    With that, Su Biyue turned and left, but he was stopped by Ming Ge who was inside: "Stop, come in for this sovereign!"


    When Su Biyue heard this vicious tone, she thought that she was going to suffer. However, since the Empress had spoken, she could only walk in slowly with a uneasy feeling.


    A girl dressed in a silver-white dress was leaning against the imperial concubine''s bed. Her graceful figure was exquisite and exquisite, and her face was partially covered, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that were like stars in the lake.


    Su Biyue lowered her head and walked in worriedly. Seeing that the room was in a mess, she asked weakly, "What orders does the Empress have?"


    Ming Ge glanced at her and asked: "You''re new here?"


    "Exactly."


    Ming Ge coldly snorted, "A newcomer human girl actually dared to enter this sovereign''s Linglong Hall! Someone, drag this reckless girl out and she''ll be punished with a hundred canes! "


    "Yes sir!" Ming Ge ordered, and two servants immediately came in and escorted Su Biyue out.


    Although Su Biyue was extremely afraid, he still maintained his calm and pretended to be calm.


    "Why aren''t you begging for mercy?" Suddenly, Ming Ge felt that this human girl was strange.


    Normally, when he punished those maids, they would cry and beg for mercy, but this girl was so calm!


    Su Biyue bowed slightly and bowed, "As long as Empress is happy, it''s worth it for me to suffer a bit. But before I receive my punishment, I have one more request, would Empress be willing to listen to what this servant says?"


    Ming Ge raised her eyebrows in displeasure: "Impudent! You dare to make a request to this sovereign? "


    This human girl was truly ignorant!


    "Empress, please do not misunderstand. This servant only wants to clean up the remnants of the broken remnants on the ground. Otherwise, if I had accidentally hurt you, this servant''s heart would be very sad." Su Biyue''s tone was extremely sincere, but his heart was in complete disarray.


    She had mustered a great deal of courage to speak like this. As for whether or not she could win the bet, that would depend on her luck!


    Ming Ge glared at her coldly, before saying with a cold laugh: "Heh, at least you have something to eat, you''re right."


    "Thank you, Empress!" As a result, Su Biyue squatted down, slowly picked up the broken pieces on the ground, carefully and earnestly.


    Ming Ge glanced at her from time to time, feeling rather satisfied in his heart.

 C223

    Suddenly, the remnants accidentally cut Su Biyue''s finger, but she did not change her expression, and cleaned up all the remaining parts.


    "Alright." Su Biyue raised his head slightly, "Empress, this servant can go out and receive my punishment now!"


    "Yes." Ming Ge only replied with this one word, and then waved his hand, allowing Su Biyue to be escorted out.


    Su Biyue''s finger bones tightened as she was thrown out of the Linglong Hall and onto the ground. Her wooden staff fell onto her body one after another.


    "Jade Moon!" At this time, Xiao Yan rushed over from the side. Seeing Su Biyue was being punished, he rushed over to plead for her, "Please, spare Bi Yue this once!"


    "Xiao Yan, don''t come over here... This is the empress''s order! " Su Biyue reminded her as he pretended to have good intentions.


    "The empress''s order ¡­" Xiao Yan was really shocked by her words. In the next second, he stood on top of Su Biyue without any hesitation, blocking the wooden staff.


    "Scram! Don''t stand in our way!" The two Mermaid pushed Xiao Yan away.


    Su Biyue sighed helplessly, "Xiao Yan, don''t worry about me, be careful or you will be implicated yourself!"


    Therefore, Xiao Yan could only sit by the side and watch. He was anxious in his heart, but was unable to do anything.


    It was unknown how much time had passed before Su Biyue finished receiving the canes. Xiao Yan hurriedly went forward to help Su Biyue up, and asked sorrowfully: "Bi Yue, are you alright?"


    At this time, Su Biyue''s legs had turned weak, he was almost unable to stand, and could only be supported by Xiao Yan.


    "Bi Yue, don''t go to the Linglong Hall anymore. I''m really worried that something might happen to you!" Xiao Yan thought about it and felt that it was not worth it. To get close to the Empress, was it really worth it to suffer like this?


    However, Su Biyue disagreed: "Xiao Yan, you don''t understand, I am... trying to get close to the empress. "


    "If you get any closer, you might even lose your life." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.


    Su Biyue scoffed coldly. In his heart, he was secretly ridiculing Xiao Yan''s ignorance and lack of foresight.


    At this time, a maid came out from the Linglong Hall and threw a bottle of Healing Drug s to Su Biyue, saying coldly: "This is the empress''s gift to you, take it!"


    Su Biyue took the Healing Drug, and said with a look of wild joy, "Thank you, Empress."


    The maid then continued, "The empress just ordered that you can go serve her in the Linglong Hall tomorrow."


    "I ¡­" Su Biyue thought he misheard, "Did Empress really say that?"


    "Nonsense. What, it''s your honor to be able to enter the inner palace to serve me. Are you still not willing?" The servant girl looked up high, completely disregarding Su Biyue, a human girl.


    "No, no, no, yes, of course!" Su Biyue immediately agreed, he did not know how happy he was in his heart.


    It seemed that she was getting closer to her goal again, but she had to work harder to become Ming Ge''s trusted aide!


    Su Xiruo laid on the bed for another two days, his body was still weak. When Qing Yuan entered the door, he heard Su Xiruo coughing sounds, and immediately poured her a cup of water.


    "Young Lord, please drink some water!" Qing Yuan''s gaze carried a tinge of heartache.


    Su Xiruo took the water and drank some of it. He then sighed, not knowing when his body would recover, and how long he would stay hidden in this place.


    "Young Lord... I think I heard something going on outside! " Qing Yuan frowned, as though he had heard something, he stood up and said, "This servant will go out to take a look first!"


    Su Xiruo slowly stood up, a sharp pain coming from his chest, as he faintly felt a familiar fluctuation of Spiritual Strength.


    Did Yun Qian come? He deliberately hid his true strength, but who would have thought that he would actually be able to find one!


    Su Xiruo started to panic in his heart. He got up and sat in front of the makeup mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was slightly messy and his face was haggard like a ghost.


    Thus, she picked up her eyebrow pencil and rouged her face with a thick makeup. The makeup covered her deathly pale and haggard face, painted her red lips, and combed her hair back.


    Looking at her reflection in the mirror, it was as if she had suddenly become a different person. Her face was radiant, and it was impossible to tell at all that she was currently very weak.


    Su Xiruo looked at himself in the mirror, and revealed a satisfied smile, thinking, if Yun Qian saw me like this, he wouldn''t worry about me anymore.


    "Young master." At this time, Qing Yuan rushed in, "It''s Young Master Helian, Young Master Helian ¡­ They should be here to see you! "


    Su Xiruo turned his head around and replied calmly: "Understood."


    At first glance, Qing Yuan saw that the young master had finished drawing his makeup in just a moment. Compared to his weak and haggard appearance a moment ago, he looked like a completely different person, full of spirit.


    Su Xiruo got up and left the Inner Palace. He followed a path and arrived in front of the Poison Sect Dark Swamp.


    "Xiruo." Suddenly, that familiar voice entered his ears, warm as jade.


    Su Xiruo suddenly turned around, only to see Yun Qian dressed in white silk clothing, with black eyebrows and starry eyes, standing not too far away from him. Seeing that Xi Ruo had turned around, he immediately rushed forward and hugged her.


    "I thought that I would never see you again. Where have you been these past few days?" Yun Qian hugged her body and asked gently. His hands were still trembling slightly, but they were very tight. He was afraid that if he let go, Xi Ruo would disappear again.


    Su Xiruo bit her lower lip, and her eyes started to turn red. She really wanted to ignore everything and stop the flow of time for now.


    But, she couldn''t do that, she couldn''t be this selfish. She had to focus on herself, and now, the only person who could recover Yun Qian''s strength was the Fox Queen, and it was useless for her to stay by his side!


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo steeled his heart, and pushed him away, saying coldly: "Don''t touch me, you murderer!"


    Yun Qian was pushed away by her and was slightly stunned. Looking at her cold and indifferent eyes, he seemed to be a little flustered. "Murderer ¡­" What do you mean? "


    "You were the one who killed Mu Jin. As matters stand, what excuses do you have?" Su Xiruo took a step back and said coldly, but his eyebrows did not reveal any of his feelings.


    "It wasn''t me who killed Mu Jin, it was Yun Lichen who disguised himself as ¡­"


    "Enough!" Su Xiruo interrupted him, as though she was not willing to listen any further, "The evidence is conclusive, and you still refuse to admit it! How could a mere Expert of Spirit God be so easily feigned as a normal person? Helian Yunqian, do you really take me for a fool? "


    "I ¡­" For a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    Su Xiruo''s fingers curled tightly, and the gaze that she looked at him with was filled with hatred and coldness: "Do you really think that by killing Mu Jin, I will be able to be together with you forever?"


    "Xiruo, calm down first. Listen to me talk about the sequence of events of this matter to you." Yun Qian looked into her eyes, a little worried that she had misunderstood him.


    "I only believe what I see with my own eyes!" Su Xiruo retorted coldly, "Helian Yunqian, you killed the most important person to me. Today, I can''t wait to kill you and take revenge for Mu Jin!"


    Each word stabbed into Yun Qian''s heart like a sharp blade. He laughed at himself and said, "He is the most important person to you, then what about me? In your heart, what do I count as? "


    "Who do you think you are?" Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said coldly, "Heh, from start to finish, it was only your one-sided wish. The person I liked in my heart, had always been Mu Jin, and now that Mu Jin is dead, my heart, is dead as well!"


    She actually said that the person she liked in her heart, had always been Mu Jin. From beginning to end, it was still Mu Jin!


    These words were a huge blow to Yun Qian, "No, why would you like Mu Jin? You clearly told me that you liked me, and you ¡­ How can you like others? "

 C224

    "Xiruo, you''re joking with me, right?" Yun Qian looked into her eyes and drew closer, hoping to receive her response.


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, she did not dare look into his eyes, and her tone was still cold: "The words you spoke earlier, were just to cheer you up, you actually took it as true? I merely have some use for you before, but now, you have no use for me anymore and even mercilessly killed my most beloved. Not killing you would already be doing you justice! "


    Yun Qian seemed to not believe him. "You like him ¡­" Then why are you together with me? Why are you still so good to me? Why are you still willing to save me with your life? If only ¡­ I know I still have my place in your heart, right? "


    "I hate you!" Su Xiruo coldly spat out these three words, as if he already hated her to the bones.


    He held onto Xiruo''s arm and looked at her cold eyes, as if he had lost control of his emotions: "Xiruo, I beg you, don''t speak to me about this. I can explain to you about Mu Jin''s situation, if there''s anything I can do that you''re not satisfied with, just kill me, as long as you don''t say such angry words to me, alright?"


    Su Xiruo''s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She endured the pain and pushed him out of the way with a strong burst of force. Yun Qian knelt down on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Su Xiruo was slightly moved, she was worried for him, but she could only feign indifference: "Go. Considering how many times you have saved me, I will not kill you today. If I see you again, I will not be lenient!"


    "You want to kill me?" Yun Qian could not help but smile. His smile was somewhat self-deprecating. "Don''t tell me ¡­" Is everything we''ve experienced worth nothing in your heart? And now, you actually want to kill me for Mu Jin? "


    "At least you know your own limitations." Su Xiruo coldly snorted, "In my heart, you''re not worth a single cent. As for me, I''m just a woman who only wants to make profits, an ungrateful woman. Previously, I only saw that you had some strength, and wanted to take over my position.


    For a moment, he found it hard to accept these words. He walked closer, gently pulled at Xiruo''s skirt, and said with a sincere tone: "Xiruo, if you think that I''ve lost 90% of my Spiritual Strength, I won''t be able to help you, believe me, I''ll definitely recover my strength as soon as possible, I can change anything that you don''t like, I only beg you, don''t let me leave you, don''t hate me, even if the person you like is Mu Jin, I won''t force you to let me stay by your side.


    His tone sounded a bit panicked. He knew that he could not leave this woman any longer. He would rather die than let her leave just like that!


    "Of course, for the sake of our children ¡­"


    Reaching this point, Su Xiruo could not help but taunt and laugh, at this moment, her sadness and despair was almost enough to swallow her whole.


    "That might disappoint you." Su Xiruo''s red lips slightly opened, and with a hint of ruthlessness in her voice, she said, "This child, I have already fallen!"


    "You ¡­" Yun Qian raised her eyebrows, her face was filled with disbelief as she looked at Su Xiruo, somewhat agitated, "Why did you do this?"


    Su Xiruo gave a shallow smile, and said in a frivolous manner: "Because I hate you to the bone, and I wish I could kill you! If the child was Mu Jin''s, I would definitely stay, what a pity, he is a vile! "


    "If you hate me, then just focus on me. Why are you making a move on your child? The child is innocent! " Yun Qian''s fingers curled up tightly as he slightly lost control of his emotions, "Would you rather hurt your own body than ruin our child?"


    Su Xiruo''s fingernails almost burrowed into his flesh. She looked straight into his eyes and said with an incomparably stern tone: "That''s right!"


    "To me, this child is a humiliation, a burden, and a dirty one!" Su Xiruo seemed to have lost control of her emotions as well, "As long as it''s something related to you, to me, it shouldn''t be left!"


    The child was gone. She had personally left him. Was this still the Xiruo he knew? Why did she do it, why did she hurt her own child?


    Those sharp words were like a dagger, piercing through Yun Qian''s heart. He laughed at himself, "Xiruo, do you really hate me? Even to see me? "


    "Yes." Su Xiruo''s answer, was completely certain, "I wish I could cut you into a thousand pieces!"


    "Since you want revenge, why wait for the next time?" Yun Qian looked into her eyes, her eyes that were as bright as stars, was shrouded in a layer of gloom, and her tone was resolute: "If you truly hate me so much, then kill me, and avenge your Mu Jin!"


    Su Xiruo took a step back, covered his ears and said coldly: "Enough! Helian Yunqian, don''t think that I don''t dare to kill you! "


    "Kill me!" Yun Qian''s black eyes were wide open. She drew closer and grabbed her wrist. She stared intently into her eyes and spoke with a cold voice.


    He was betting, betting ¡­ If what she had just said to him was infuriating, then if she really hated him so much, then why would she not dare to look him in the eye!


    If what she said just now was true, how could she let him off so easily? If she really believed that Mu Jin was killed by him, why couldn''t she bear to make a move?


    "Let go, let go of me!" Su Xiruo struggled for a long time, but was still unable to break free from his restraints, thus, she steeled her heart and pushed him out of the way with her hand. From her sleeve, six Xi Yan s flew out and floated in the air, "Helian Yunqian, you forced me to do this!"


    Yun Qian looked at the Xi Yan floating in the air, his fingers curled tightly. That was the Spiritual Artifact he had gifted to Xiruo, and the one he had personally named as well. Yet, right now, it was standing face to face with him, which was indeed a bit laughable.


    "This Xi Yan, is a gift from you." Su Xiruo intentionally laughed, and taunted: "I like it, today I will use this Xi Yan to take your life!"


    Although Yun Qian had lost ninety percent of his Spiritual Strength at this time, dodging an attack from a Spirit Monarch was still an easy task.


    However, his heart was dead set, he just stood there, unmoving while looking at her eyes, as if he was telling her: Even if you want to kill me, don''t use the Xi Yan, and don''t use anything else!


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change, as six Xi Yan s poured into the scorching golden Spiritual Strength and instantly penetrated Yun Qian''s body.


    "Ugh ¡­" Fresh blood spurted out from Yun Qian''s mouth. With a gentle wave of Su Xiruo''s palm, the Xi Yan attacked Yun Qian from behind once again. It passed through his body from behind for the second time, and landed on the ground.


    The Xi Yan pierced his body, but it couldn''t win against the pain in his heart.


    Tears fell from the corner of Ruo Ruo''s eyes. She nodded slightly, concealing her current uncontrollable emotions. She coldly asked, "Why didn''t you dodge?"


    Yun Qian''s snow-white shirt was stained red with blood. She laughed at herself: "Why should I hide if the one who wants to kill me is you?"


    Even if he could avoid Xi Ruo''s Spiritual Artifact, how could he avoid her ruthless words? How could he avoid everything she did?


    Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, and said coldly: "That''s right, I have always been looking for an opportunity to kill you, take revenge for Mu Jin, and express goodwill to you, and that''s only to let you relax your guard! You''re really muddleheaded. "


    Yun Qian said indifferently, her weak voice interrupting her words, "I''m not dead yet. Why don''t you hit me harder and kill me?"


    There was even a hint of disdain in that tone.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, his heart feeling as painful as a drop of blood. He knew that he could not let Yue Yang see his soft-heartedness, if not, all the harm he had done to him would have been for naught.


    That was why he couldn''t show any mercy!


    Su Xiruo flashed in front of him and used her small hand to support his chin. With her other hand, she took out her Can Meng s from the scabbard and drilled inch by inch into his chest.

 C225

    Yun Qian''s fingers were curled tightly together as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, he forced himself not to say anything. This was probably the first time he felt that this girl in front of him was so unfamiliar to him that he didn''t even know her!


    Did she hate him so much because of Mu Jin?


    Mu Jin should have held a very important place in her heart, and she had always felt that she could do nothing about it!


    Su Xiruo said in a cold and mocking voice: "Relax, I won''t kill you directly. I will leave you with your life, and slowly torture you until you beg for death!"


    After saying that, Su Xiruo took out the Can Meng that was drenched in blood.


    If Yun Qian did not give up, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold it in any longer and would reveal the truth to him at all costs!


    Her heart could not take another blow. If Yun Qian had spoken a few more words, she would definitely ignore it!


    "In your heart, has there ever been a place for me?" Yun Qian''s heart was like dying embers as he asked this question, even though he already knew the answer in his heart.


    "From start to finish, the person I love has always been Mu Jin." Su Xiruo''s tone was firm, without any hesitation.


    She secretly apologized to Mu Jin in her heart. He was clearly already dead, yet he was still being used as a shield by her.


    "From now on, our relationship as husband and wife is cut off. The next time we meet, we will be enemies. Since I''ve met you once, I''ll kill you once!" Su Xiruo held tightly onto his finger bones, his fingernails digging into the flesh of his palms, blood flowing out slowly from the tips of his fingers, patiently enduring.


    With just a few words, he had pushed Yun Qian down the cliff. All his hopes had been turned into ashes, and he would never be able to recover from this calamity!


    He did not know where he got his strength from, but he slowly crawled up from the ground and staggered, almost falling off his feet. His clear and cold eyes looked at Su Xiruo as complicated emotions filled his eyes and he said: "Alright, this is what you said."


    It was clearly a sentence as calm as water, but it was filled with determination and despair!


    All of her love, at this moment, had become a sharp blade that hurt herself in her hands, turning into hatred!


    With these words, Yun Qian turned around and left with his heavy body.


    Then, Qing Yuan hurried over. Seeing the situation, he rushed over to support Yun Qian, not understanding what was happening: "Young Noble Helian!"


    "Let go!" Yun Qian pushed Qing Yuan away. At this moment, he had already lost his mind and hastily left the place.


    Su Xiruo looked at his staggering steps, worry and guilt as though he wanted to cut her into pieces. Tears flowed out of her eyes in the next second, and with a light cough, she spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "What''s going on? Young Master, what''s wrong? " Seeing Su Xiruo spitting blood, he anxiously supported her falling body.


    Su Xiruo continued to vomit blood, only feeling that at the center of her chest, there was a huge rock pressing down on her, a dull blade was cutting off her heart, and that mysterious force was going to swallow her whole body.


    "Young master, what''s wrong?" Qing Yuan was so anxious that her tears almost fell, but she didn''t know what she could do.


    Su Xiruo fell to the ground, her heart aching incessantly. That power, was about to break through her body, so she calmed her heart down, and the yang attribute Spiritual Strength started to condense in her body, in order to suppress that sinister Spiritual Strength.


    The Spiritual Strength was shaped like a Yin Attribute and was violent and powerful. Su Xiruo''s yang attribute Spiritual Strength was constantly battling against the energy within her body. The two strong and repulsive Spiritual Strength s seemed to want to shatter her internal organs.


    Su Xiruo was about to lose consciousness. She knew that if she did not suppress and devour the power, she would be affected by the backlash!


    Poison Sovereign was not dead yet, and she had not yet avenged the death of her son. She could not die yet, no matter what, she could not die now.


    As a result, Su Xiruo calmed himself down, and in one go, gathered all the yang attribute Spiritual Strength in his body together, and for the last time, clashed with the Yin Attribute!


    In a split-second, neither were they engulfed, nor were they hit by a backlash. The two forces miraculously merged together and instantly recovered their calmness. The internal injuries within his body also miraculously started to heal.


    The berserk Spiritual Strength, was crazily rising and spreading throughout her body. The speed at which it was rising was not something she could control!


    She could feel that the bottleneck which she had not been able to break through for a long time had instantly been broken through at this moment. That terrifying speed, up to the Spirit Sovereign, did not seem to have any intention of stopping, as though one could not see the end of it, and continued to soar!


    Six star Spirit Sovereign s, Seven Star Spirit Sovereign s ¡­


    He was unable to control the speed of the explosion and retreated a few steps, preventing himself from being hit by the Spiritual Strength. He stared at Su Xiruo with his mouth agape.


    How could this be? This kind of thing had never happened before, and the Young Master''s strength had actually skyrocketed by so much all of a sudden, even after reaching Spirit Sovereign, there was no sign of it stopping!


    The dense white Spiritual Strength crazily soared all the way to the 9-star Spirit Sovereign, but it still did not stop. An Aurora streaked across the sky, broke through the nine heavens, and then gradually disappeared around Su Xiruo.


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    Fox Queen lazily leaned against the imperial concubine''s bed. He couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows as he suddenly glanced at the Thunderclap Elephant outside the window.


    It seems that the Fine Star Continent have not been at peace during this period of time!


    Su Xiruo slowly opened his eyes. He felt that the Spiritual Strength around his body was more than a hundred times stronger than before, but his mind was still blank. He did not know what exactly had happened.


    "Young master, you ¡­ Your Spiritual Strength! " Qing Yuan stood at the side, so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.


    She could clearly feel that not only was the Spiritual Strength around Su Xiruo''s body more than a hundred times stronger than before, there was also some kind of strange change.


    Su Xiruo also felt the change in his body, other than his strength, there were also attributes!


    Her own Spiritual Strength, had actually already reached the Spirit God realm, and if she hadn''t suppressed the explosive rise in Spiritual Strength just now, it should have risen to two stars and Spirit God!


    What made her even more surprised was that aside from the yang attribute that she already possessed, her own body had actually fused with the Yin Attribute!


    Yin and Yang were actually fused together. This was something she had never seen before, let alone seen with her own body!


    "How could this be?" Even Su Xiruo herself felt that it was somewhat inconceivable, but she was certain that it was only after she had refined the mysterious power in her body that her Spiritual Strength had increased by leaps and bounds!


    Su Xiruo tried to force the Yin Attribute out of her body. Unexpectedly, the two attributes had already been fused together, so she could only give up on this thought.


    "Young master, right now you ¡­" "What kind of strength is that?" Qing Yuan couldn''t help but ask her.


    Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, and did not directly answer her question, but she was certain that even if Poison Sovereign was in front of her now, she would not be afraid of him!


    The heavens made her lose something, so they gave her some compensation. Although she would rather not make it up to her like this, as matters stood, since she was now in the Expert of Spirit God, she had to do what she had to do!


    Su Xiruo slowly got up, her eyes full of hatred.


    She must take back what she had lost one by one. Those who hurt her, don''t even think about getting away with it!


    But now, with the flourishing of her Fox Clan, it wasn''t easy for her to take action, and with the fall of her Poison Sect, she started attacking from the Poison Sovereign s!


    "Qing Yuan, is Poison Sovereign in Profound Yin Empire now?" After a long while, Su Xiruo asked.


    "That''s right." Qing Yuan saw some hatred in her eyes, and asked, "Young Master, what are you planning to do? High Lord is currently also a Three-star cultivator, he''s not easy to deal with! "


    Young Master wouldn''t be thinking of killing High Lord to get revenge, right? But, the High Lord''s strength was not something that could be easily killed! The Young Master had just raised his Spirit God, would he really be a match for the High Lord?


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded his head, turned around and looked Qing Yuan in the eyes: "Qing Yuan, if you still have Poison Sect in your heart, and are not willing to betray the High Lord, I will not force you, but I will definitely find that Jiang Lingye and take revenge!"

 C226

    "Young master." "Since Qing Yuan has chosen to stay in the Poison Sect to wait for your return, he had already made up his mind long ago that he would follow you until his death. Moreover, no matter what, Qing Yuan will not bear to see you take the risk alone.


    Her position was very clear, as long as it was something Su Xiruo wanted to do, she was willing to follow along.


    "Alright, Qing Yuan, since you are acting like this, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future." Hearing her words, Su Xiruo was slightly moved, "I have decided to rebuild my Poison Sect and replace Jiang Lingye with Jiang Lingye!"


    Rebuild the Poison Sect, replace the Poison Sovereign?


    It had to be said that if Su Xiruo''s strength had not increased by leaps and bounds, Qing Yuan would have thought that she would only say those words if she had drank too much. But now, the Young Master''s Expert of Spirit God was too, so it was still possible for her to defeat the High Lord.


    "High Lord is powerful, skilled in poison, and extremely cunning. Young master, we might not be his match!" Qing Yuan was still a little worried in his heart.


    On this point, Su Xiruo naturally understood in his heart: "A head-on clash, is naturally not the best strategy. Qing Yuan, go and secretly hire a set of Mercenary Group, and spread the news of me returning to the Poison Sect, entering the ears of the Poison Sovereign!"


    If Jiang Lingye were to know that she, who was so audacious, had actually dared to return to the Poison Sect alone, with his personality, he would definitely sneak back into the Poison Sect to personally kill him!


    Currently, no one knew that she was using Spirit God. When the time came, they could just kill him and catch him off guard!


    "This way, will it work?" However, Qing Yuan still expressed his doubt.


    "How can we know without trying? Since I have nothing left anyway, I might as well put everything on the line and fight for it! " Su Xiruo seemed to have already made up his mind.


    Qing Yuan immediately responded, "No matter what decision Young Master makes, Qing Yuan is willing to follow him until his death!"


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded: "Go and spread the news, remember, do not alert the other forces!"


    She didn''t know what the result would be, so she could only do it secretly and not alert the enemy.


    "Yes sir!"


    Thus, Qing Yuan secretly hired a set of Mercenary Group and spread the scattered information to the Profound Yin Empire. Su Xiruo did not stay idle either, as he stepped into the Medicine Pavilion.


    More than half of the entire Medicine Pavilion had been destroyed, the rafters were scattered across the road, and most of the poison had also been destroyed.


    Su Xiruo slowly stepped into the place and searched the area with his Medicine Pavilion. In the most secluded, most inconspicuous place, he casually took out a bottle of poison and gently opened it.


    The corner of his lips slightly raised, but Su Xiruo was actually quite satisfied with it in his heart as he filled the entire Poison Sect with the tasteless and colourless Poison Miasma.


    Currently, she was alone and weak, with only Qing Yuan as her sole helper. If Jiang Lingye brought the Poison Sect disciples back, this Poison Miasma could temporarily deal with those disciples!


    Although Poison Sovereign was an expert in the use of poison, it was still only him. It was impossible for him to bring all the poison antidotes with him when he left the Poison Sect this time around.


    Thus, he decided to take this gamble! She wanted Jiang Lingye to die on the poison she had created!


    After setting up the Poison Miasma, Su Xiruo secretly set up many mechanisms and formations inside his Poison Sect, all of them hidden, although such insignificant techniques might not escape Jiang Lingye''s eyes, but to deal with the Poison Sect disciples, it should still be more than enough!


    Afterwards, she had hired another set of Mercenary Group, and was secretly guarding outside of the Poison Sect realm, keeping herself informed. At this time, everything was ready, and she was waiting for the Poison Sovereign to take the initiative to deliver it to her doorstep!


    The inner hall of the Poison Sect was completely silent.


    Su Xiruo carefully wiped off the blood on the Xi Yan with the embroidered cloth. He was in a daze as hot tears slowly rolled down from the corner of his eyes.


    "Yun Qian, you should hate me to the bones now, right?" Su Xiruo''s face revealed a bit of self-mockery, "This is good too, as a person who isn''t worth it, I''m not worth it for you to pay with your heart."


    He already knew that it would be impossible for him and Yun Qian to be together and that he would never forgive him again! He could not help but feel a sense of loss surging through his mind.


    But perhaps, Yun Qian staying in the Fox Clan was much easier than staying by his side. He couldn''t help him in anything, but to him, it was no different from a burden.


    "Don''t worry. There will be a day when I will avenge our child and personally kill that woman." Su Xiruo curled his fingers tightly, his red eyes filled with hatred.


    "Young master."


    Just then, Qing Yuan''s voice came from outside the door, Su Xiruo extended his hand out and wiped his tears, only to see Qing Yuan push the door open and enter.


    Su Xiruo''s tone returned to calmness and asked calmly: "What''s the matter?"


    "The Poison Sovereign is already ready to move. If nothing unexpected happens, they will take action in the next two days. Young master, you should be careful." Qing Yuan''s face revealed some worry.


    "Alright." Su Xiruo''s fingers tightened into a ball, his eyes immediately lit up, "Finally, this day comes."


    She waited for seven or eight days, and finally, when that old fellow Jiang Lingye could no longer hold back.


    In a certain dark corner of Profound Yin Empire.


    "High Lord, it has already been confirmed. Su Xiruo returned to the Poison Sect alone, and no one followed her." A Poison Sect disciple honestly told Jiang Lingye about the situation with his Poison Sect.


    "Helian Yunqian was not with her?" Jiang Lingye was more worried about this.


    Towards Su Xiruo, he naturally did not have any fear, afraid that the two of them were the culprits, and that if he used Poison Sect once, Helian Yunqian would appear from the shadows!


    "Nope."


    "Are you sure?" Jiang Lingye was still a little doubtful.


    That disciple''s tone was almost certain: "This subordinate is certain, and this subordinate has heard from a grapevine that Helian Yunqian and Su Xiruo have cut off all ties with each other, and that there is no contact between them, so Su Xiruo should have nowhere to go, which was why he had no choice but to return to the Poison Sect. By the time this disciple returned to the Poison Sect, her body was covered with injuries, and she might not be able to live for long!"


    Jiang Lingye scoffed, and revealed a disdainful smile, "This girl, she is truly bold and daring. Does she really think that this sovereign no longer exists, that her Poison Sect is something that she can come and leave whenever she wants?"


    If it wasn''t for that girl who intervened, he would have already obtained the Beast Core and his strength would have risen by leaps and bounds. He simply didn''t have to spend his days in this place with care, and became the target of the Midland!


    Therefore, he hated Su Xiruo to the bones. He was just waiting for one day when Helian Yunqian wasn''t by her side, to personally kill that traitor!


    "When does High Lord plan to take action?" A disciple subconsciously asked, "How about this, this subordinate will have all of the disciples prepare tomorrow."


    "No need." Jiang Lingye''s fingers were curled tightly, he was already unable to hold himself back.


    The disciple was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "High Lord, do you think that tomorrow''s actions were too hasty?"


    "There''s no need to wait until tomorrow. We''ll start tonight." Jiang Lingye''s expression revealed a bit of malice, "This sovereign will catch that girl unprepared, and cause her to die without knowing how she died!"


    If he wanted to make a move, he would do so as soon as possible. The more he delayed her, the more he would give her a chance to catch her breath. What he wanted was to catch her by surprise.


    "This... If we are to take action tonight, then I will immediately go and prepare! " When the disciple heard High Lord say that, he did not know what to do.


    "There''s no need for too many people to go there. Otherwise, it would just be alerting the snake by striking the grass." Jiang Lingye seemed to have already thought about it, "Send twenty of our elite disciples to follow me, the rest will not move!"


    After all, the current Poison Sect had already become a thorn in the side of the other three forces.


    Poison Sect had already withered and fallen, and it was basically not the action of the three great forces, so it was better to temporarily avoid danger. This time, he was only specifically heading back to deal with the traitor!


    As long as it was someone who betrayed him, he wouldn''t let a single one of them off.


    "Yes, this subordinate will arrange it right away!" The disciple agreed.

 C227

    Deep into the night, Su Xiruo sat by the window and watched the wind blow at the grass outside. He raised his head to drink a mouthful of wine, and stared blankly into space for a long time, his eyes completely dim.


    His head felt dizzy and his empty eyes stared into the night sky. It was as if a familiar figure had appeared before his eyes. In an instant, it vanished, leaving behind a boundless darkness.


    Su Xiruo laughed, and between his eyes, a teardrop fell down, drop landed on his heart, and could not be wiped away.


    "Young master." Qing Yuan came in from outside and saw that there were many bottles scattered on the table. He immediately went over to stop them, "You were just a spendthrift not long ago, your body was injured by this wine, don''t drink anymore!"


    Su Xiruo looked at her absentmindedly, smiled, and said lightly: "Qing Yuan, I''m fine, just let me drink a little more."


    Only when she was drunk to the point of numbness would she be able to remember nothing, to think nothing, to have a moment of peace.


    "Young master, even if you have nothing left, you still have me. Why are you wasting your body like this?" Qing Yuan squatted in front of Su Xiruo as she cried sorrowfully. Her heart was filled with pain, "Just consider it as you doing it for yourself that you want to live well too!"


    However, Su Xiruo felt that these words sounded somewhat mocking: "Heh, if it''s for myself, I''m more willing to die for a hundred."


    There was nothing left for her to lose. The reason why she was still hanging on to her life was so that she could get a clear understanding of her debts from before!


    She needed to become stronger in order to protect everything she wanted to protect! So, no matter what, she couldn''t die, not even if she wanted to!


    "Young master, if you feel sad, you can tell Qing Yuan about your heart, but what about Qing Yuan?" Qing Yuan bit his lower lip. Seeing her like this, his heart felt even worse.


    "Qing Yuan, he hates me ¡­" Su Xiruo slightly closed her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks. Her tone was filled with despair, "He will never forgive me again."


    Qing Yuan hugged onto Xiruo''s body. At this moment, she knew that she didn''t need to say anything, she only needed to accompany the young master quietly. If she asked too many questions, it would instead bring back even more of her painful memories.


    She didn''t understand. The Young Master obviously had Young Master Helian in his heart, and he had been working hard to engrave his heart into his heart. Why did he still have to be so ruthless and push him away?


    However, she knew that the young master definitely had his own difficulties. If she wasn''t forced, she wouldn''t have made such a choice.


    After a while, Qing Yuan settled Su Xiruo on the bed. Su Xiruo slept for a while, but his nightmares never stopped. The dark and bloody scenes in his mind repeated countless of times, as if it was trying to slow her down.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian ¡­" Finally, Su Xiruo woke up from his dream, and broke out in cold sweat. When he looked back, he saw an empty room, and there was nothing there.


    Letting out a sigh of relief, a sense of loss arose within him. It turned out that what happened just now wasn''t a dream, but a reality!


    Suddenly, she felt a strong wave of Spiritual Strength approaching her, and couldn''t help but to be more vigilant. In her heart, she had already guessed who it was!


    "I never thought that Jiang Lingye would be unable to hold back and come to kill me so quickly." Su Xiruo scoffed, and was fully prepared.


    Looks like that Jiang Lingye is going to make his move tonight. He wants to catch him off guard and kill him immediately!


    If she was the same as before, only having the strength of her Spirit Monarch, she would simply be unable to feel the hidden powerful fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength of the Poison Sovereign, and would very likely lose her life in her sleep.


    Even if he could feel it, he probably wouldn''t be able to escape death in the hands of a single Spirit God!


    However, this time was different from the past. Now, she also possessed Spirit God. Not only could she sense all this in advance, she also wouldn''t die that easily at the hands of Jiang Lingye!


    "Young Lord, this isn''t good!" At this time, Qing Yuan pushed the door open and entered, looking extremely nervous, "Just now, there was a mercenary reporting that Poison Sovereign has brought a few Poison Sect disciples who secretly came to visit Poison Sect!"


    "Got it." Su Xiruo did not mind, "Qing Yuan, find a place to hide. Wait for my order, we will activate all the formations and mechanisms!"


    "Yes." On the other hand, Qing Yuan was still a little worried about her, "Young Master, you have to be extremely careful!"


    "Yes, I will be more careful." Su Xiruo''s eyes that were as calm as water was filled with killing intent.


    Jiang Lingye, tonight is the day you die. Even if I have to risk my life, I will make you pay with your life!


    At this time, other than the Poison Sect, Jiang Lingye was leading twenty other elite disciples.


    "This damned girl, she actually set up a Poison Miasma outside of the sea!" Jiang Lingye snorted, he was furious.


    This Poison Miasma was something he had refined. Even if he did not have the antidote, he could remove it, but it would take at least four hours.


    After carefully thinking about it, Jiang Lingye took out a bottle of Breath Suspending Beads from the Storage Ring, counted and only had eleven pellets, swallowed one, and divided the remaining ten pellets to the ten disciples.


    "All of you, take this Breath Suspending Pill and follow this sovereign into the Poison Sect. The rest of you, stay guard outside and don''t let a single person leave, do you understand?" Jiang Lingye ordered coldly.


    "Yes sir!"


    Thus, the ten disciples consumed the Breath Suspending Beads and followed Jiang Lingye into the Poison Sect.


    Who would have thought that Poison Miasma''s realm was filled with all sorts of Poison Miasma at this moment. As soon as they passed through the swamp, a large number of mechanisms activated and the sky was filled with sword rain and frost, catching everyone off guard.


    "Damn it!" Jiang Lingye was flustered and exasperated, he gathered his energy and struck towards the source of the mechanism, wanting to destroy it completely.


    Who knew that in the next second, the mechanism would explode and release a large amount of energy. The fireballs and ice arrows scattered like wildfire and brought along the powerful Spiritual Strength.


    This formation was definitely not set up by Su Xiruo. A mere Spirit Monarch, there was simply no way to set up such an exquisite formation. Could it be that someone else was hiding inside this Poison Sect?


    Thinking up to here, Jiang Lingye actually had some lingering fear in his heart. The berserk purplish black Spiritual Strength moved, and instantly melted tens of thousands of ice arrows, and the extremely hot Spiritual Strength was instantly absorbed by the fireball, becoming even more scorching and sharp. Several disciples were directly burnt to death by the fireball!


    "This... Just what kind of array is this, to actually fuse Yin and Yang together! " Looking at the strange array in front of him, Jiang Lingye thought to himself, I cannot continue fighting this, if not this array will have no end!


    Thus, he gathered his strength and used all his strength to open a tiny opening. He turned into an afterimage as he drilled out. His arm was even accidentally burned by the fireball to create an ugly scar.


    He suddenly felt as if his burned arm had lost all of its strength.


    One had to say, the power of that formation was simply terrifying!


    At this time, Su Xiruo was casually lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He had already mentally prepared everything he needed.


    There was a rumble.


    The door was flung open by a powerful Spiritual Strength. Jiang Lingye pushed open the door and saw the lady lying on the bed with her back facing him.


    The berserk purplish black Spiritual Strength had been in his palms for a long time, and he suddenly shot it towards Su Xiruo''s back, his killing intent flourishing!


    In an instant, the young lady on the bed turned around, and her finger bones that were cold as ice grabbed onto Jiang Lingye''s arm that was rushing at her. In the next second, Jiang Lingye''s entire arm was covered in ice!


    At the same time, the hot and scorching palm wind from Su Xiruo''s other hand directly pierced into Jiang Lingye''s heart. He could not dodge in time, but Su Xiruo''s palm wind had still missed its target by a little, and did not directly hit its vital parts.


    A black and red hole suddenly appeared in Jiang Lingye''s chest, and he could still faintly feel the scorching heat.


    Jiang Lingye seemed to not have reacted at all, was this still that damned girl?! Just now, Su Xiruo had made his move, and it did not seem like he was using Spirit Monarch, even he was a little afraid!

 C228

    "Jiang Lingye, consider yourself lucky." Su Xiruo snorted, he stood up from the bed and stared coldly at Jiang Lingye.


    If his palm had hit his heart just now, he would have definitely killed him with one move. It seemed that Jiang Lingye was still very cautious!


    While speaking, the Can Meng in Su Xiruo''s hand came out of its scabbard and struck out with a berserk Spiritual Strength. Jiang Lingye immediately retreated, took out her weapon and exchanged a few moves with Su Xiruo, she was actually not at a disadvantage at all!


    "Su Xiruo, are you really Su Xiruo?" Jiang Lingye''s fingers tightened into a ball, as if he couldn''t believe what he saw.


    "What? Did I disappoint you?" Su Xiruo laughed, carrying a gloomy sense of ridicule.


    "Your strength ¡­" Jiang Lingye opened his eyes wide, as if he could not believe his own eyes, "How is this possible? "How is this possible ¡­"


    But that''s not right, he clearly remembered that half a year ago, this girl was still just an insignificant Spirit Monarch. But now, when she was fighting with him, she wasn''t even at a disadvantage at all.


    The only explanation was that this girl had the strength of Spirit God!


    Su Xiruo did not answer his question. Instead, she coldly said, "Jiang Lingye, since you have come to seek death of your own accord today, I naturally cannot disappoint you. I have taken your life with my own hands!"


    "A mere one star Spirit God dares to be so arrogant in front of this sovereign!" Jiang Lingye scoffed, although he looked disdainful on the surface, he was still a bit panicked in his heart.


    It looked like he had to use all of his strength to deal with this girl.


    "Good, if you have the ability, then use it. Today, I will let you die!" Su Xiruo did not place him in his eyes at all, as a golden Spiritual Strength appeared around his body.


    "Why is the Spiritual Strength so strange? You can''t even tell what kind of attribute it is. " Jiang Lingye seemed to be muttering to himself as he made his move with the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill. Violent purplish black tornado swept over and instantly turned the Inner Palace in front of him into ruins.


    Su Xiruo rose into the air, the scorching Spiritual Strength twisted the air into a ball and his other hand became a ghastly white. In an instant, ten kilometers of ice was sealed and even the hurricane was frozen.


    Immediately, Jiang Lingye''s eyes widened, how could this girl have two attributes at the same time?


    Jiang Lingye possessed the wood attribute and had originally been restrained by both Yin and Yang. Now that this girl possessed two attributes at the same time, it was indeed a little difficult for him to endure. After ten or so rounds, he still wasn''t able to kill this girl with one star Spirit God!


    The tip of Su Xiruo''s foot lightly touched the ground, not wanting to continue the fight with Jiang Lingye. A wave of Spiritual Strength poured into the Can Meng, and in the next second, the surrounding of the Can Meng was enveloped by a blinding light, as the endless Spiritual Strength was poured into Su Xiruo''s body.


    After the light dissipated, Jiang Lingye faintly sensed that this girl''s Spiritual Strength was a lot stronger than before. It was at least the strength of her Three-star.


    Although this was only a temporary increase by borrowing the Divine Instrument''s power, Jiang Lingye could still feel the dangerous aura approaching him.


    "What kind of strange Spiritual Artifact is this?" Jiang Lingye''s finger bone was curled tightly, as if he was feeling guilty.


    "A Spiritual Artifact that can kill you!" Su Xiruo spat out these words word by word, extremely cold.


    Feeling the dense killing intent around Su Xiruo, Jiang Lingye knew that she had to kill him this time, so he chose to attack first. The Spiritual Strength around his body frantically condensed and wrapped around him.


    Ten Thousand Poison Array!


    This was Jiang Lingye''s own array formation, it was made with millions of poisons, whoever entered the array, even if they managed to escape unscathed, they would be poisoned to death in the future!


    Her face, was still as cold as ever. The dense white Spiritual Strength on her left hand had congealed into ice, and the searing heat on her right hand seemed to be able to even freeze the air!


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, and two completely repulsive Spiritual Strength s violently fused together, trembling without end. The powerful fluctuation of the Spiritual Strength, actually made even Jiang Lingye, who was far in front of him, feel fear!


    "This... "What is this?" Terrifying intent filled his heart. The Ten Thousand Poison Array couldn''t even withstand a single blow. Under the golden seal, it was so weak that it collapsed with a loud bang. All living beings that approached it were reduced to dust, dirt, and dregs!


    "This is bad!" Sensing the terror of the Spiritual Skill, Jiang Lingye''s first reaction was to turn around and escape. However, he did not expect that the seal had covered every corner of his body, leaving no place to escape!


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    A loud sound rang out and by the time he could react, the seal had already fallen on his body, instantly destroying all the defenses he had set up. His body was sent flying and the fierce impact had shattered his internal organs!


    Su Xiruo lightly landed on the ground, he retreated a few steps, and then spat out a mouthful of blood. He never expected that the seal that she had casually formed a moment ago would be so powerful, to the point that it could even bite him!


    It could be imagined that Jiang Lingye was definitely in an even worse situation!


    Originally, she only wanted to try and see what kind of power two completely repulsive Spiritual Strength s would have if they were to combine together. She didn''t expect that her own Spirit God was so terrifying that it wouldn''t even be able to resist that bit of repulsive force.


    She was sure that if she used that seal for the second time, the backlash would kill her!


    At this time, there was an additional, larger hole in Jiang Lingye''s body. The Ling Dan was shattered by the shock, and was laying on the ground, unable to move.


    Jiang Lingye looked at Su Xiruo in fear, "You ¡­ What kind of terrifying Spiritual Skill is this? "


    Just now, Su Xiruo had used a Spiritual Skill that was definitely comparable to the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill.


    Seeing Su Xiruo slowly approaching, Jiang Lingye felt a chill in his back, and his tone became softer: "Su Xiruo, we can still be considered father and daughter, for you to kill me like this, is simply unrighteous! If this news were to spread out, it would be bad for your reputation as well! "


    That was a type of unprecedented fear, even when he was fighting with Helian Yunqian previously, he had never felt himself being so close to death!


    "Unrighteous?" "You killed my only family, poisoned the person I love the most, and pretended to take me in as your daughter. Actually, it was only to use me to get the Beast Core for you, in terms of injustice, I think you are the one who is truly unjust!"


    "Hehe, all of you are asking for it. Let''s each take what we need. What qualifications do you have to talk about this sovereign?" Jiang Lingye disagreed, he did not feel that he did anything wrong.


    Su Xiruo stared at him with eyes as cold as iron: "If you are willing to hand over the Dissolving Gu''s antidote, I can spare your dog life. You better think about it properly!"


    "Haha, it seems like the rumors in the outside world are fake. In your heart, you''re still missing that guy." Jiang Lingye could not help but laugh, and said sarcastically: "Even if I gave you the antidote, would you believe that it was the real antidote?"


    Even if he took out the real antidote, this girl would probably not let him off. In fact, he might even die faster!


    The Xi Yan flew out from Su Xiruo''s sleeves and stabbed into Jiang Lingye''s chest. A miserable scream came out from the horizon and Jiang Lingye''s Ling Dan was completely shattered into nothingness!


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t want to hand over the antidote. In any case, you''re just a cripple now. I have countless ways and means to torture you until you hand over the antidote!" Su Xiruo looked down at him from up above, his voice was overflowing with emotion, it was gloomy and cold, making people feel intimidated!


    This was the first time Jiang Lingye felt like he was unable to control himself and he immediately started to beg for forgiveness, "Don''t, don''t! I''ll hand it over, I''ll give you the antidote, then!"


    Instead of living a life worse than death, it was better to give him a quick death!


    Only then did Su Xiruo stop, and with a cold face he asked: "Where''s the antidote?"

 C229

    Jiang Lingye curled his fingers tightly and said unwillingly: "The antidote has already been destroyed by me ¡­"


    Just as Su Xiruo opened his eyes wide and was about to kill him, Jiang Lingye added, "However, the antidote is still with me, so I''ll just give it to you!"


    Su Xiruo flicked his sleeves lightly and released the bindings on his hands. Jiang Lingye could only take out a wooden note from the Storage Ring and handed it over to Su Xiruo with a trembling hand.


    Su Xiruo took the note and opened it to look through the prescription carefully. Half of the ingredients matched the prescription given to him by Poison Gongzi, but he had only received half of the prescription from Poison Sect.


    It looked like it was more reliable, but Su Xiruo was still worried as he said, "Old thing, if you dare lie to me, I will cut off all ten of your fingers!"


    "This sovereign''s Ling Dan has already been destroyed, and can''t escape from your grasp. What''s the point of lying to you?" Jiang Lingye snorted, "However, even if this noble one gave you the medicinal formula, it would be useless. Not to mention how difficult it is to obtain the ingredients, even if you get it, with your current Toxicology, you will still not be able to refine the antidote!"


    Although Poison Sovereign''s words were unpleasant to hear, it was still a fact. All of the ingredients on this note were at least Seventh Rank and above, there were even a few that she had not heard of!


    However, this was all a story in the future. As long as the prescription was in her hands, she would think of ways to refine the antidote as well.


    At this time, Qing Yuan appeared at the side with a dozen mercenaries following behind him. "Young master, those few Poison Sect disciples are all trapped inside the Two Elements Formation!"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo slightly nodded, glanced at Jiang Lingye, and ordered, "Lock him up, do not let him find fault!"


    "Yes sir!"


    Who knew that before Qing Yuan could make a move, Jiang Lingye had already picked up the weapon on the ground and stabbed it into his chest. In the next second, his eyes widened and he fell into a pool of blood.


    "Young master, he ¡­" He committed suicide! "


    Su Xiruo''s finger bones curled tightly, and he let out a small sigh: "Forget it, why don''t you kill yourself?"


    He, the dignified sect master of a sect, Jiang Lingye, would rather die than become a prisoner! Death, would be the best outcome for him!


    Su Xiruo crouched down and closed his eyes with his palm.


    Jiang Lingye, up to today, the relationship between us as father and daughter, can be considered to have completely come to an end!


    Following that, she took off Jiang Lingye''s Storage Ring s and upon closer inspection, she discovered that the Storage Ring s were hiding many high grade medicinal ingredients and treasures, as well as a few precious Poison Book s. She gently wore the Storage Ring on her fingerbone and felt a abundant amount of Spiritual Strength entering her body, causing her to go berserk!


    If it weren''t for the High Ranked Poison Master, he really wouldn''t be able to control the ring, and wearing it would cause him to die from the poison. Although Su Xiruo was only a low-level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master, her physique was special, so even with such a strong poison, she would not be harmed at all!


    This was not an ordinary Storage Ring, if one were to wear this Storage Ring to cultivate in Toxicology, their speed would definitely be different from an ordinary person''s, Poison Sovereign''s treasures, there were truly many of them!


    Su Xiruo suddenly turned around and ordered the mercenaries behind him: "All of you, immediately announce it to the public. Poison Sovereign Jiang Lingye had accidentally entered the Poison Sect''s forbidden array and accidentally died. I will rebuild the Poison Sect, discard the slaughter and brutality of the former Poison Sovereign, wash my hands from under the ashes from the Poison Sect and change your mind from before. I am willing to create peace and stability with the entire Midland! "


    Qing Yuan was extremely excited, he knelt down in front of Xi Ruo and shouted: "High Lord!"


    Su Xiruo turned around and looked at Jiang Lingye who was on the ground, as if he was muttering to himself: "Jiang Lingye, don''t worry, I will continue to spread this Poison Sect of yours."


    Although Jiang Lingye had done many unforgivable things, killing her loved ones and harming her lover, but in the end, it could still be considered as a favor for him, so Su Xiruo was not willing to be too cruel to him.


    With that, she instructed the two mercenaries beside her, "Take Poison Sovereign''s body and bury him well!"


    "Yes sir!"


    Following that, she waited for the remaining Poison Sect disciples to personally come to suppress her!


    The news of Su Xiruo wanting to rebuild his Poison Sect was spread throughout the entire Fine Star Continent in a single night. As expected, on the second day, the remaining Poison Sect disciples all returned to the Poison Sect.


    She withdrew the Poison Miasma outside of the Poison Sect realm and let all the Poison Sect disciples enter the Poison Sect one by one. Standing alone in the front hall, she looked at the hundreds of Poison Sect disciples and rushed into the Poison Sect.


    At this time, Su Xiruo was wearing a fluttering red dress as she stood in the front hall.


    "Su Xiruo, you truly have the guts to scheme for a usurpation of power and kill High Lord!" The Great Clan Elder stared at Su Xiruo coldly, anger welling up within him.


    "Don''t talk rubbish with her. Kill this girl and take revenge for High Lord!"


    "Yes, kill her!"


    The Poison Sect disciples behind him started to jeer, their voices basically echoing each and every one of them!


    After all, these two elders had followed the Poison Sovereign for many years already.


    "I''m just being impartial." Su Xiruo did not deny and smiled, "Everyone calm down first. I do not deny Poison Sovereign''s achievements, but in terms of fairness, in these few years, has Poison Sovereign truly considered for Poison Sect?"


    "You don''t have the qualifications to speak of High Lord like that!" The Second Elder interrupted him coldly.


    Su Xiruo did not care about him, and continued: "If the Poison Sovereign had truly taken care of the entire Poison Sect, he would not have been so brutal, and for his own benefit, was willing to destroy the stability of the Midland, and was willing to go against the other three great forces, be willing to allow the Poison Sect to become the target of public criticism, and have most of the Poison Sect''s disciples become traitors, and be displaced.


    Listening up to here, the questioning voices of the people opposite of them had actually become a little quieter. It was probably because Su Xiruo''s words had directly hit them right in the heart.


    In fact, Jiang Lingye was not that brutal in the beginning, in the beginning, he could live harmoniously with the other three forces, but later on, the stronger he got, the greater his ambitions.


    Because of his own ambition, he had created a situation with Poison Sect. To be fair, Poison Sovereign''s responsibilities were the greatest!


    Therefore, Su Xiruo continued to speak, "Today, I plan to rebuild my Poison Sect and restore it to its previous state. If you are willing to stay, and if you are unwilling to stay, then please do so.


    Suddenly, the majority of the disciples seemed to have deep feelings for this Poison Sect, and naturally didn''t want to leave just like that.


    "Little girl, you have quite the tone you have there." The Great Elder was slightly unhappy, "When will it be your turn to arrange for me to stay or to stay? Even if you were the former Young Master of Poison Sect, do you have the ability to command this Poison Sect today? "


    "That''s right!" The Second Elder agreed, "Even if we have to rebuild our Poison Sect, the position of the Poison Sovereign is something that the Great Clan Elder is more qualified to sit on! You little girl, on what basis are you? "


    The two of them knew full well that half a year ago, this girl had merely been an insignificant Spirit Monarch, while the two elders of the Poison Sect were both in the power of the Spirit Sovereign. Even if they wanted to rebuild the Poison Sect, it was not her turn to be the new Poison Sovereign!


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, and said a few words in a soft voice, but they were filled with weight: "Are the two of you provoking this sovereign?"


    "Arrogant!" The Second Elder snorted, he could not stand such an arrogant tone, and the berserk brown Spiritual Strength flew straight towards Su Xiruo''s face.


    He wanted to teach this girl who did not know the limits of heaven a lesson!


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, and her small hands grabbed onto the Second Elder''s arm, instantly dissolving the strong Spiritual Strength!


    Following that, the Great Clan Elder saw that something was amiss, he immediately took action and appeared behind Su Xiruo, bringing his purplish black Spiritual Strength blade with him as he launched a sneak attack on her from behind.


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change as he kicked the Second Elder away. He grabbed onto the Great Clan Elder''s blade with his bare hands and broke it, in the next second, the Great Clan Elder''s blade along with his body, was smashed away more than ten meters by the cold Spiritual Strength.

 C230

    The two elders spat out blood. Before they could even react, they had already lost to Su Xiruo, the Great Clan Elder raised his eyes, and looked, the place where his blade had shattered, had actually become deformed by Su Xiruo''s Spiritual Strength!


    It was just a bone-piercing and ice-cold Spiritual Strength just now, why did it seem like his weapon was broken by a yang attribute Spiritual Strength?


    [How did this girl become so powerful all of a sudden?]


    A string of questions popped up in his mind. The disciples behind him were all flabbergasted, and didn''t dare to make a sound.


    The Great Elder currently possessed the strength of a Spirit Sovereign, and the Second Elder was also a six star Spirit Sovereign. In the hands of the young master, these two Spirit Sovereign s were actually not even able to withstand a single blow, and were all killed in a single move!


    In other words, the Young Master''s current strength was at least at the 9-star Spirit Sovereign level or higher!


    Thinking to this point, the Poison Sect disciples all sucked in a breath of cold air, and did not dare to continue thinking about it.


    Su Xiruo''s leisurely voice sounded in the ears of the two elders. "I wonder now if the two elders believe that I have the qualifications to sit in the position of the Poison Sovereign?"


    The Great Elder sighed helplessly, "Young Lord, it is this old man who has underestimated the Young Lord''s strength. Since the Young Lord''s strength is now above mine, I can only admit defeat!"


    The Second Elder echoed him, "Please forgive me for offending the Young Lord!"


    Now, Su Xiruo''s strength was higher than the two of them, so the worry in their hearts, naturally didn''t exist anymore.


    "Young master?" Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows and laughed coldly, "Should the two elders change their form of address?"


    The two elders looked at each other, bowed and greeted: "Subordinate greets Poison Sovereign!"


    Seeing that the two elders were in such a state, the disciples behind them all kneeled down and said: "This subordinate greets Poison Sovereign!"


    The boulder in Su Xiruo''s heart, seemed to have instantly landed on the ground as her vermilion lips slightly parted. "Everyone, please rise!"


    She curled her fingers tightly, feeling a bit excited. The first step she wanted to take, had finally succeeded. The next time, she would personally take Fox Queen''s life!


    Thus, the reconstruction of the Poison Sect began. Su Xiruo ordered the disciples of the Poison Sect to first repair or rebuild all the buildings that were destroyed from top to bottom of the Poison Sect. This was the first step.


    On this day, a Poison Sect disciple hurried over to Su Xiruo, and said with an anxious tone: "High Lord ¡­"


    "What happened?" Su Xiruo asked indifferently.


    "High Lord, when this subordinate was cleaning up the rear mountains, I discovered Protector Ye!" That disciple reported the information truthfully, and did not dare to hide even half a word of it.


    "Cold Night!" Immediately, Su Xiruo turned pale with fright, as if she had never thought that Han Ye would actually be at the Snake Pond of the rear mountains.


    Thus, without saying a word, she came to the rear mountains area with its dense Poison Miasma s. Looking down, it was almost impossible to see its depth, and Han Ye''s hands and feet were bound, trapped within the Snake Pond area. He was already on his last breath, his entire body covered in blood stains, torn and injured by the venomous snake.


    Outside the Snake Pond, there were more than ten Poison Sect disciples surrounding them. They wanted to save Protector Ye but none of them dared to do so with only their Snake Pond beneath their bodies!


    "All of you, get out of the way." Su Xiruo''s clear and cold voice fell into his ears.


    The Poison Sect disciples all gave way to him, and before they could even open their mouths, they saw Su Xiruo jumping down from the Snake Pond.


    In the next second, the venomous snakes that were rampaging everywhere felt a strong pressure and spread out. They did not dare to get any closer to Su Xiruo!


    Su Xiruo pulled out the Can Meng, quickly cut the shackles on Han Ye''s hands and feet, and pulled his arm out of the Snake Pond.


    "Han Ye, Han Ye!" At this moment, Han Ye was unconscious. His lips were purplish black, obviously poisoned by the venomous snake.


    He extended his hand to touch his pulse. Luckily, this snake poison was not deadly, if not, he would not be able to live for so long before he died. Presumably, Jiang Lingye had intentionally locked him in there, tortured him, and not allowed him to die!


    Seeing the situation, Su Xiruo lightly struck Han Ye''s back, and in an instant, a mouthful of poisonous blood sprayed out from Han Ye''s mouth. Su Xiruo ordered coldly, "Men, bring Protector Ye out of this place!"


    "Yes sir!"


    When he woke up in a daze on a cold night, he discovered that he was actually lying on the bed. For a moment, he still did not know what had happened.


    He remembered that he was imprisoned in the High Lord s'' Snake Pond for who knows how many days. He originally thought that he would die like this in the Poison Sect, but never did he expect that he would still be alive!


    Opening his eyes, the first person he saw was Su Xiruo. Han Ye immediately felt even weirder in his heart, "Xiruo, why are you here?"


    "You''re awake." Seeing that he had woken up safe and sound, Su Xiruo was a lot more at ease.


    "I ¡­" Han Ye was still confused, "Xiruo, were you the one who saved me?"


    "Protector Ye," Qing Yuan at the side could not help but smile, and reminded him with good intentions, "Now, you have to change your name to High Lord."


    Hearing up to here, Han Ye was even more confused. "High Lord?"


    "That''s right." Qing Yuan then explained to him, "Protector Ye should still not know, Jiang Lingye is already dead, and now, the young master has naturally taken over the position of Poison Sovereign!"


    Upon hearing that Jiang Lingye was already dead, the emotions in Han Ye''s heart were all mixed up. Even more than that, he was overjoyed. This old thief has truly died a great death! "


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly, and could not help but ask: "Why are you imprisoned in the Snake Pond of the rear mountains? Was it Jiang Lingye who imprisoned you here? "


    "That''s right!" Han Ye didn''t deny it and told her the truth, "That old thief saw that I''ve helped you time and time again and became furious, so he confined me within his Snake Pond!"


    Su Xiruo couldn''t help but feel a little strange in his heart. Normally, even though Han Ye would often help her, in his heart, he was still very respectful to Jiang Lingye.


    Out of curiosity, Su Xiruo asked: "Can I dare to ask, then Jiang Lingye, what did he do to hurt you that you could make you hate him so?"


    "Ha!" "Jiang Lingye, this old thief, after killing my entire clan, for so many years, I have been kept in the dark, even foolishly serving him. How laughable is that!"


    Su Xiruo more or less understood what he meant and felt that it was somewhat inconceivable, "Your clansmen were actually killed by him!"


    When she first came to the Poison Sect, her relationship with Han Ye was quite good. Han Ye had confided in him before, that when he was very young, his entire clan was killed by a mysterious organization.


    He did not expect that all of this would actually happen by Jiang Lingye herself. Not only did she kill Han Ye''s entire clan, she even made Han Ye pledge his life to serve her for so many years.


    "This old thing is too vicious!" Su Xiruo could not help but curse.


    "That''s right, it''s not worth dying for!" Han Ye''s eyes were filled with hatred.


    Su Xiruo let out a helpless sigh, "I killed Jiang Lingye with my own hands, so it can be said that this is the end of the past. Han Ye, where do you plan to go from here?"


    "Jiang Lingye, did you personally kill him?" Han Ye felt somewhat surprised.


    He clearly remembered, this girl was just a Spirit Monarch, but Poison Sovereign was a Spirit God worthy of her reputation. With her strength, how could she kill Poison Sovereign?


    Focusing, Han Ye carefully probed, then suddenly felt that the Spiritual Strength around Xi Ruo''s body, was so terrifying that even he was extremely afraid!


    "Your, your strength?" Han Ye looked at Su Xiruo with wide eyes, and thought that he had seen wrongly, "How is this possible?


    To jump from the Spirit Monarch to the Spirit God in just half a year, even if he was a genius, it was still impossible to do it!


    "That''s a coincidence." Su Xiruo smiled, "It''s only because I accidentally obtained a powerful force that I suddenly levelled up to become a Spirit God. If I have to explain it to you, I don''t know how I should explain it to you."


    "This... That works too? " Han Ye still felt that he was listening to a story, but he could clearly feel that right now, the Spiritual Strength was many times stronger than his own, at this moment, he was only a five star Spirit Sovereign.

 C231

    Since the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength were many times stronger than his own, Han Ye would temporarily believe that Xi Ri''s strength was already that of his Spirit God!


    "Han Ye, you haven''t answered my previous question." Su Xiruo did not forget the question he just asked, "Where do you plan to go from now on?"


    She asked this question because she sincerely hoped that Han Ye would stay in the Poison Sect to help her. After all, right now, Poison Sect could be considered as having suffered a great loss to her vitality as well as losing many disciples.


    If Enforcer Ye, who was of Spirit Sovereign''s strength, could stay, he would have gained a solid pair of wings.


    Han Ye looked into her eyes and answered sincerely: "Originally, I had thought that if I could leave the Poison Sect alive, I would definitely kill Jiang Lingye one day to avenge my clan. But now, you have helped me kill this mortal enemy of mine, which is also my benefactor, so naturally, I am willing to stay in the Poison Sect to serve you and the Poison Sect!"


    What he hated was only Jiang Lingye, and instead had a very deep relationship with the Poison Sect. After all, this was a place he had stayed in for many years, how could he bear to leave so easily?


    "Is that true?" Hearing his words, Su Xiruo was quite happy in his heart.


    "That''s right." "In any case, I''m currently homeless anyways. As for you, as long as you don''t mind, I''m willing to stay in the Poison Sect and support you!"


    "Alright." Su Xiruo immediately agreed, "From today onwards, you will still be Protector Ye of Poison Sect. You can also be considered one of my true friends in Poison Sect."


    When she had first entered the Poison Sect, she only had Han Ye as her friend. Now, it could be considered as him being able to stay by her side and be fortunate.


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Meteorite Pavilion.


    Ten days had passed by the time Yun Qian woke up in a daze. Even he didn''t know how long he had been unconscious for and the occasional sound of wind came from the outside. To him, it was all nothingness.


    Or perhaps, he had already regained his consciousness and was just unwilling to wake up or accept everything that was happening in the outside world.


    "Cough, cough ¡­" With a few light coughs, he took a quick glance at his surroundings. He knew what kind of place this was, but his starry eyes were still shrouded by a layer of dusky gloom. He didn''t say a word.


    "Yun Qian." When the Fox Queen saw that he had woken up, a smile hung on his face, "You''re finally awake. You''ve caused the Royal Mother to worry for so many days."


    Seeing him not saying a word the whole time, Fox Queen pretended to be worried: "Yun Qian, you''re acting like this. Royal Mother feels very uncomfortable seeing you like this.


    After a long while, Yun Qian finally spoke with a light voice, "Who are you talking about?"


    "And it''s not the name you keep reciting in your dreams." Fox Queen looked at his slightly gloomy eyes, purposely adding extra fuel to the fire, "Unfortunately, that human girl didn''t miss you at all."


    "Where is she?" Suddenly, it was as if Yun Qian had lost his mind. As soon as he got up, he touched all the wounds on his body. "Cough, cough ¡­"


    Only then did he come back to his senses. That woman had said some cruel words to him, and he remembered that his wounds were all thanks to her, and the knife had gone straight to his vitals. If he had gone even a little bit deeper, he would probably be dead now!


    Thinking of this, his fingers curled tightly together, and his heart felt as if it had been gouged out by her long ago.


    "Yun Qian, seeing you feeling sad, Royal Mother is also very sad." Fox Queen bit his lower lip, pretended to be sad and said, "You might not know, but Royal Mother just received the news that the human girl killed Jiang Lingye two days ago and climbed up to the position of Poison Sovereign herself, and threatened to rebuild her Poison Sect."


    Having cut Jiang Lingye with her bare hands, she had reconstructed her Poison Sect. Heh, looks like her wish has been fulfilled.


    Seeing Yun Qian being indifferent, the Fox Queen continued: "Su Xiruo used your Beast Core to soar to the skies, yet you almost lost your life, and she did not accept your gratitude in the slightest, not even in the slightest. A woman like this, is truly not worth it! Yun Qian, you were used by her to the point where you didn''t even know it! "


    "Enough." Yun Qian interrupted him indifferently, attempting to calm down his emotions, "In the future, Fox Queen, please do not mention that woman in front of me."


    Indeed, no matter what he did, it was worthless in her eyes. She wouldn''t even give him a second glance. Why would he continue to present his dignity to her, allowing her to trample over him?!


    Su Xiruo, you were heartless and unloyal first, and in the future, I can only pretend that you never existed.


    His tone was calm and cold, yet there was a hint of despair in it. At this moment, there was probably no hope at all.


    Knowing that he had achieved his goal, he added on, "Alright, Royal Mother doesn''t need to mention her. In the future, there will still be Royal Mother. I wonder if you are willing to stay in the Fox Clan and inherit the position of Fox-Race Patriarch?"


    Hearing up to this point, Yun Qian''s heart was somewhat numb.


    He originally didn''t have any family, nor did he have any home to return to. To him, Xi Ruo was the only person he could treasure. From the beginning, she was always at the top of his heart.


    He originally thought that as long as he had her, he would have no other requests, and would be willing to give up anything. But now, the person he had placed on top of his heart had ruthlessly stabbed him in the heart, completely destroying all of his previous hopes!


    What was he left with now? There was probably nothing to lose, so what difference was there between life and death?


    "Yun Qian." Fox Queen saw that he was not doing anything intentionally at this moment, so he added, "If you don''t think it through right now, it doesn''t matter. Royal Mother will give you some time to think it over. Eight years ago, Royal Mother let you down, but now, I just want to make up for it with my all efforts. Even if you are not willing to be the Clan Leader, Royal Mother hopes that you can return to Royal Mother and never leave. "


    If that was the case, most people would be moved upon hearing this. However, Yun Qian''s mind was currently in a state of chaos. He could not understand what was being said, nor did he want to say anything.


    When Fox Queen saw that he still did not say a word, he knew that in a short period of time, he would not be able to recover from the earlier blow. He could only sigh helplessly, "Fine, Royal Mother will not disturb your rest any longer.


    With that, the Fox Queen stood up slowly and instructed the servants of the Inner Palace indifferently: "Take good care of Second Highness."


    After giving out her orders, she turned around and left the Meteorite Pavilion with a mysterious smile on her face.


    "All of you, leave." Yun Qian''s tone wasn''t loud, but it was extremely cold, as if it could freeze someone to death.


    At this moment, he only wanted absolute silence. It would be best if he could completely sink into this silence and never wake up again!


    "Yes." Those Maidservant s immediately bowed low and left the Meteorite Pavilion.


    The entire inner hall immediately became frighteningly quiet. He could even hear a hint of the wind clearly. Yun Qian closed her eyes, unable to distinguish day and night, unable to discern the length of time.


    Unknowingly, five more days had passed. On the sixth day, even the Fox Queen was slightly unable to hold back and leaned on his imperial concubine''s bed. He asked the of His Highness, "Has the Second Highness still not started drinking water today?"


    "Yes." The Maidservant answered truthfully.


    "Did I say anything to you?" The Fox Queen continued to ask.


    "I didn''t say anything."


    Fox Queen frowned slightly. He could no longer hold back his temper: "Could it be that this guy really has something on his mind, and doesn''t want to live anymore?"


    No, Li Wu Chen had already died, and the only person who could inherit the position of Fox-Race Patriarch now was Yun Qian. No matter what, he couldn''t let anything happen to him!


    Just as Fox Clan was about to say something, a disciple hurried in and reported: "Empress, Second Prince wishes to see you."


    Immediately, Fox Queen''s eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth: Quick!


    "Yes sir!"


    The Fox Queen sat upright, the fan in his hand waved gently, looking extremely relaxed. Yun Qian, dressed in white silk clothes, slowly stepped into the inner hall, his face pale white without a trace of blood, without a single emotion on his face. He looked calm, and his skinny body looked as though he was about to fall in the wind.

 C232

    The Fox Queen immediately revealed a look of worry: If you have something to say, then just send someone to pass it on to Royal Mother. Your injuries aren''t fully healed yet, how did you come here personally?


    Yun Qingyun calmly opened his mouth and said: "I''m fine, the reason I''m here to see Fox Queen today is because I have something to ask."


    "What do you think?"


    Yun Qian did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "I wonder if I can receive the power of the Fox Emperor''s inheritance now."


    If he were to accept it, he would be able to obtain the Fox Emperor''s Spiritual Strength and inherit the position of Patriarch. By saying this, he would be willing to inherit the position of Patriarch!


    "Yun Qian, for you to have such an idea, the Royal Mother would naturally wish for it." Fox Queen couldn''t help but secretly rejoice in his heart, but he still felt a little awkward. "Not just anyone can receive this inheritance power. First, you need to break all of the meridians in your body and then, you need to reconnect them. If you don''t pay attention, you won''t be able to keep your life!"


    The Fox Queen paused for a moment before continuing, "Before this, even if Li Wu Chen wanted to be the Clan Chief, he didn''t dare to rashly try it. This life or death risk was equivalent to putting his own life on the line.


    "I''m willing to give it a try." Yun Qian interrupted her words indifferently. Her calm tone was as though she had just agreed to an extremely ordinary matter.


    The worst outcome would be death. He had already died once, and now there was nothing left to think about. What difference was there between life and death for him?


    "But, the Royal Mother cannot let you take such a risk!" Fox Queen was still a little worried.


    Even if it was Expert of Spirit God, he was not completely sure. Not to mention that Yun Qian did not even have any Beast Core left, how could he possibly hold onto the Spirit Convergence Array?


    "Fox Queen." "Since you want me to inherit the position of the Fox-Race Patriarch, sooner or later, I will have to accept this inheritance. Otherwise, you wouldn''t want to see a piece of trash taking over the Fox Clan, right?"


    Fox Queen was startled, but he also felt that his words were reasonable. In the next second, he agreed straightforwardly: "Alright, since you insist on it, Royal Mother will not stop you, I am just curious, how did you figure it out, and are willing to inherit the position of Patriarch?"


    "If I can think it through, then I can think it through. There''s no other reason." Yun Qian was not in the mood to answer her question.


    How could he, Helian Yunqian, be willing to die just like that? Since he could not die, then he would become the strongest person on this continent, stepping on everyone under his feet!


    Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the Fox Queen did not ask further.


    "Yun Qian, since you''ve decided to inherit the position of Patriarch, from now on, you can''t be too selfish. You need to wholeheartedly devote yourself to Fox Clan, and this is the only way you can shoulder the position of Patriarch." Fox Queen said these words first, it was a warning!


    "Got it."


    Fox Queen gave a noncommittal smile as she thought, all of this is under her control now.


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Forbidden Hall.


    As he approached the Spirit Convergence Array, he could feel the berserk Spiritual Strength''s fluctuations. If he was slightly closer, he would be oppressed to the point that he would not even be able to breathe. One could imagine, if he jumped into the array, he would probably be devoured to the point where not even his bones would remain!


    There was no fear in Yun Qian''s eyes that were as bright as the stars. Instead, he saw endless power!


    A trace of desire flashed through the Fox Queen''s charming eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!


    Towards this kind of power, she also desired it dearly, but it was a pity, because Fox Clan had always set a rule that only males could receive the inheritance power of the Fox Emperor, but females did not have the qualifications to receive it.


    If that weren''t the case, she would have been more willing to accept the legacy''s power and become the clan''s leader. From then on, she would have supreme power, and would not place anyone in her eyes!


    "Yun Qian." After a long while, the Fox Queen finally spoke, "Once you enter this Spirit Convergence Array, there will be no room for you to go back on your words. Have you thought about it properly!?"


    "Yes." Yun Qian only replied with this word, his heart was already fully prepared.


    He bowed to Fox Queen, turned around, and jumped into the Spirit Convergence Array.


    In an instant, the Spirit Convergence Array''s golden light shot out in all directions, blurring one''s line of sight, erupting with a powerful Spiritual Strength, it pierced Yun Qian so hard that he could not open his eyes.


    He calmed his heart and unsheathed his blade. The cold and piercing berserk Spiritual Strength cut through the light and shadow in an instant, the chaotic halo disappeared and the two Spiritual Strength clashed. In an instant, ice and frost formed and the entire Spirit Convergence Array was wrapped in a layer of silvery-white light.


    Yun Qian gripped his weapon tightly and spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he had broken through the Barrier, it was obviously a little too much.


    "Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill!" Fox Queen, who was watching from outside the circle, could not help but stare wide-eyed as he broke out in a cold sweat for him.


    Did this fellow really think that his own Beast Core was still there, to actually use the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill without caring about anything else. With his current Spiritual Strength, he could at most use it once!


    If he tried to use it a second time, he would probably suffer a backlash!


    However, the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill was extremely terrifying, to actually be able to break through the first layer of the Spirit Convergence Array''s Barrier.


    Fox Queen watched the situation unfold within the Spirit Gathering Formation without blinking. Although Yun Qian was no longer there, he was still familiar with the innumerable s, and he even had a peerless Divine Instrument in his hands. For a long time, he could stand in an invincible position, but facing the Barrier that was difficult for even the Spirit God s to deal with, he was only slightly injured!


    In a short period of time, Fox Queen''s eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. Having lost the Beast Core, Yun Qian only had the strength of his Spirit Monarch at most.


    But he, had forcefully endured it all by relying on his Spiritual Skill and Divine Instrument for four whole hours.


    Suddenly, the ice frost in the array exploded, and a steady stream of ice arrows poured out. Yun Qian threw the Spiritual Artifact in his hands out, and placed it directly at the source of the ice arrows. The dense white light exploded, causing the source of the ice arrows to suddenly collapse, and burst open!


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    A loud sound rang out, and the last layer of Barrier was broken through!


    Fox Queen could not help but sigh. "If this guy recovers his strength, then we''ll be screwed."


    The Barrier was broken, the golden inheritance power cut across the sky, the sky suddenly changed, the color of the sky turned dark, the berserk and overbearing Spiritual Strength entered Yun Qian''s body, the tremors broke all the veins in his body, blood gushed out from his mouth, causing him to be unable to move at all.


    The Spiritual Strength spread throughout every corner of his body, and his blood immediately solidified. His veins, bones and muscles all broke, and his body was almost unable to withstand the sudden impact of the Spiritual Strength.


    Fresh blood continued to gush out of his mouth. It was as if he had lost his consciousness as his vision gradually became blurry. The sounds beside his ears became softer and softer, and he was unable to hear clearly.


    Yun Qian''s eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if he was hallucinating. A familiar female voice traveled to his ears.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian ¡­" He closed his eyes. In the next second, Xiruo''s petite body entered his embrace, and her head gently rested on his shoulder.


    He raised his eyes and saw Xixi''s tear-filled face. He said, "Yun Qian, from now on, don''t ever leave me, okay?"


    He firmly held the girl in his embrace and refused to let go no matter what. He indifferently replied, "I won''t leave you. From now on, don''t ever say those angry words to me again."


    He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of Xiruo''s eyes. In the blink of an eye, the bones in his fingers had been shattered into nothingness, and the woman in front of him had disappeared.


    At the same time, in a certain Inner Palace of Poison Sect, Su Xiruo once again woke up from his dream, "Yun Qian, Yun Qian!"


    She woke up with a start as a tear dropped from the corner of her eye. There was thunder outside and she suddenly felt waves of pain coming from her heart.


    Su Xiruo sighed slightly. He knew that everything that had just happened was just a dream, but he couldn''t fall asleep.


    The girl in his embrace disappeared into a blur. In the next second, she held a dagger and stabbed Yun Qian in the chest. Those decisive words, sentence, and word seemed to slow him down.


    "From start to finish, the person I love has always been Mu Jin!"


    "All this while, it has only been your one-sided wish ¡­"

 C233

    "Not good, it''s dangerous." Fox Queen''s finger bones were curled up tightly. Seeing that Yun Qian had fallen into a coma, he immediately warned, "Yun Qian, wake up!"


    This was the most crucial step. If he really fell asleep, then he would never wake up again!


    Yun Qian seemed to be unable to hear the voice of the Fox Queen, as he was immersed in the dream the entire time. The unforgettable scenes, which seemed to be real, were mixed with joy and sorrow.


    The sky turned from bright to dark, and no matter how the Fox Queen called for it, the people inside the array were still unconscious. Time flew by, from sunrise to sunset.


    As if in a dream, he seemed to have seen many things. He saw the magnificent appearance of his Nine-Tailed Fox Clan as a child, saw a stretch of darkness where one couldn''t even see one''s hand. He also saw the smiling face of the young girl and heard her soft words.


    Scenes of yesterday''s events, whether they were jumbled or dark, played unceasingly in his mind.


    It was as if he was dreaming for a very long time. In this dream, everything returned to their original location. He wanted to wake up, but he didn''t know how.


    He could occasionally hear a call or two beside his ears. It was vague and indistinct, and he was unable to discern just who it was.


    He saw a young girl around ten years old wearing pink clothes. She was carrying a small bamboo basket on her back. She was smiling as she approached him. That clear and pleasant voice lingered in his ears.


    "Little fox, how did you get injured?"


    "Don''t be afraid. I''m not a hunter. I was just gathering medicinal plants in the mountains, and I happened to pass by."


    "Let me bandage your wound."


    "I''m staying on this mountain to avoid the rain. Tonight, I''m afraid I won''t be able to return home. Fortunately, you are by my side."


    "Don''t you have a home? Why are you always staying by my side?"


    "When the rain stops tomorrow, I''ll take you with me. Although I don''t have anything good to feed you with, it''s still better than hiding from the hunters all day. I won''t feel bored if you stay with me in the mansion."


    "..." Little fox, why did you disappear just a night later? "


    The girl searched the whole mountain but could not find the little fox''s shadow. In the end, she could only give up and said, "I hope that you won''t be captured by the hunters. I hope that you''ve returned to your own home!"


    If even a little fox wasn''t willing to return to Prime Minister''S Estate with her, when would she be able to leave that nightmarish place?


    Even though the young girl did not know it, that it was a stormy day in Japan, and it had become warm and sunny. She went down the mountain unhindered, and returned to the Prime Minister''S Estate safe and sound.


    A few years later, the little fox had already transformed into human form, turning into a teenager as it fearfully looked at the cold and cruel eyes of the Fox Clan clansmen.


    However, this time, the youth did not cry like before. The five years of dark days in the Sky Prison had long silenced him. It made him understand that from the moment he was born, he was destined to be sacrificed.


    He could not change his mission. He looked as if he was willing to die. He probably thought that if he died, then he would be free!


    He had never experienced the warmth of this world before. All he had tasted was endless coldness and cruelty, and there was no place for him in this world.


    No! Since there were so many people who had hurt him, how could he just die like that?


    He wanted to live. He wanted to make those who had hurt him before pay a price ten times more than a hundred times. Since the world bullied him, he would rule over tens of thousands of people and trample the entire world beneath his feet!


    Suddenly, the seasons changed and the cold temperature gradually became warmer.


    Within the Spirit Convergence Array, a blinding golden light flashed past, as if it could break through the Spirit Convergence Array at any time.


    A protector saw the situation, and immediately left the Forbidden Hall to report this matter to the Fox Queen.


    "Empress, that Forbidden Hall''s Spirit Convergence Array... Second Prince, it seems like you are about to break out of the formation! " The protector''s tone carried a hint of excitement, but it was mostly disbelief.


    "What?" "It''s been three months, and there''s a sudden movement. I thought he wouldn''t be able to come out."


    Yun Qian jumped into the Spirit Convergence Array and slept for three whole months. Fox Queen even lost confidence because he felt that Yun Qian would be sleeping in the Spirit Convergence Array forever.


    He didn''t expect that he would be able to break out of the formation after three months!


    Fox Queen hurriedly got up, and planned to personally head over to Forbidden Hall to take a look: "Bring me there!"


    "Yes."


    As a result, the protector brought along the Fox Queen s and arrived at the Forbidden Hall. The moment he stepped into the Forbidden Hall, he immediately sensed a deep yet terrifying pressure from the Spiritual Strength, making it hard for her to breathe.


    Fox Queen frowned slightly as she looked at the halo in the Spirit Convergence Array. It was getting more and more intense, more and more glaring, so violent that she did not dare to get close to it. However, she could clearly feel that the person inside the formation was about to break through this Spirit Convergence Array!


    "Heh, it seems that I have truly not made a mistake." The corner of Fox Queen''s mouth lifted into a mysterious smile.


    With that said, a purple black Spiritual Strength condensed on the tip of Fox Queen''s finger and poured into the Spirit Convergence Array, blending as one with the golden Spiritual Strength. In the next second, Fox Queen''s face revealed a little craftiness.


    This inheritance strength was simply too powerful. Adding Yun Qian''s talent, his future cultivation speed would definitely be extremely frightening!


    If one day, he found out the truth of the matter, and knew how he treated that human girl Su Xiruo, he didn''t even know if he would come seek revenge.


    Therefore, she still had to leave a path of retreat for herself!


    The golden circle of light became increasingly large and the pressure became increasingly terrifying. With a loud explosion, a golden light broke through the horizon!


    Following that, the halo of light gradually disappeared, and the Spiritual Strength became more and more scattered. Finally, all the golden light around Yun Qian disappeared, and Yun Qian opened his eyes and slowly stood up, the wounds of his body, big and small, all healed in an instant!


    He suddenly felt that the Spiritual Strength in his body had become dense and unfathomable. It seemed that he had successfully received the inheritance!


    He closed his eyes to test his strength. He wanted to see what his level of strength would be after receiving the inheritance''s power.


    Four-star!


    He could not help but be slightly shocked, this was within his expectations. If he had the Beast Core s, under the condition of accepting the inheritance, he would at least be able to raise his cultivation up to six star Spirit God, and being able to do this would already be considered quite good.


    Looking back at the Spirit Convergence Array, it was already dim and devoid of light, as if it had turned into a pile of ruins. When Yun Qian stepped out of the Spirit Convergence Array, he felt as if it had been a lifetime.


    Seeing the situation, the Fox Queen immediately welcomed her with a smile. She felt the powerful Spiritual Strength undulations around his body, and it was even stronger than hers, and knew, that he had successfully received the inheritance!


    Currently, she only has the strength of her Three-star.


    "Yun Qian, congratulations. It''s been three months ¡­" We finally succeeded. " Fox Queen''s tone had a hint of happiness.


    "Three months ¡­" Yun Qian repeated the name indifferently, his eyes dimmed.


    Even he didn''t know that three months passed by so quickly.


    "That''s right. You''ve been asleep for three whole months. Royal Mother has been on edge this entire time." Fox Queen''s face had a smile that couldn''t be hidden, "But luckily, I succeeded. From today onwards, you are my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan''s Patriarch."


    The moment Fox Queen''s voice fell, all the Fox Clan disciples kneeling down and saluting: "Greetings, Patriarch!"


    "I have to thank Fox Queen." Yun Qian calmly said his thanks and was slightly lost in thought.


    He remembered that when he was young, he was extremely envious of the Fox Emperor, which was also his father. But now, when he had truly ascended to this position, all of the emotions in his heart were mixed.


    The Fox Queen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and deliberately asked: "Why are you still calling me Fox Queen. Yun Qian, shouldn''t you change your name?"


    She smiled and pretended to be joking.

 C234

    Yun Qian raised his eyebrows and did not look at Fox Queen for a long time. After a while, he said in a neither cold nor hot tone, "Royal Mother."


    Those two words sounded so cold that it didn''t even have a trace of warmth. Although Fox Queen knew that Yun Qian was unwilling, he was still very satisfied in his heart.


    This was a good start. Yun Qian would not be able to accept him immediately. After all, there was a process. In the future, everything about him would be under his control!


    "In a few more days, you will officially ascend to the position of Patriarch. Royal Mother will invite the entire Orc Clan to celebrate for me!" The Fox Queen said with anticipation.


    Unexpectedly, Yun Qian interjected, "There''s no need for that. Just take it as it is."


    He had never liked showing off too much, and he also didn''t like those complicated and complicated things. What he wanted to do the most now, was to continuously increase his strength and stand at the peak of the Fine Star Continent!


    Seeing him say that, Fox Queen did not try to force him anymore: "Alright, since you do not like the noise, then I will listen to you."


    Yun Qian''s main hall was set up with Meteorite Pavilion and the Fox Queen had sent three protectors to his side. Each of them had the strength of a Spirit Sovereign.


    It looked like Fox Queen had spent a lot of effort, but Yun Qian was well aware that these three protectors and the disciples in Meteorite Pavilion were all Fox Queen''s trusted aides!


    "Subordinate is Nan Ye."


    "Subordinate is Nan Feng."


    "Subordinate is Nan Ge."


    "Greetings, Patriarch!"


    Two males and one female, the three protectors kneeled down and saluted Yun Qian Xing simultaneously. Yun Qian Yun calmly glanced at the three of them, other than Nan Ye who was a 9-star Spirit Sovereign, the other two protectors all had the strength of a 7-star Spirit Sovereign.


    It was just that they didn''t know if they had any ulterior motives.


    Yun Qian''s tone was cold, her thin lips slightly parted as she asked: "In the past, were you under First Prince, or Fox Queen?"


    "Reporting to Clan Leader, this subordinate was working under the First Prince in the past." Nan Ye answered truthfully.


    "This subordinate and Nan Ge were personally transferred here by her side by the Empress." Nan Feng also quickly replied.


    After roughly understanding the origins of these three people, Yun Qian thought for a moment and did not show any emotion.


    It seems that the control of the Fox Queen was not ordinary at all, to the point where the protectors and the ones who brought tea and water were mostly the people transferred over from her side.


    In the future, he would need to be extra careful.


    Suddenly, after three months had passed, most of the buildings inside the Poison Sect had been repaired. At the same time, the number of disciples recruited had increased.


    Poison Sect, Tempest Pavilion.


    Su Xiruo casually sat in his seat as he listened to Han Ye talk about the recent situation.


    "High Lord, the other three great powers of Midland have been curious about you, this new Poison Sovereign, for a long time. No matter what, Poison Sect can be considered to be one of the four great forces of Midland. When Han Ye said till here, he paused for a while, and then asked in a kind tone, "So you see, shouldn''t you give an invitation to the other three Supreme Realm cultivators and their Mercenary Guild, and invite them to the Poison Sect banquet?"


    After all, the four Venerable Ones were always blessed with good fortune and the Mercenary Guild was also one of the four great forces of the Midland.


    It was just that Su Xiruo felt a little awkward in his heart. After all, other than the Artifact Sovereign who had never seen these people before, the rest of them had not only met each other, they also interacted with each other a little.


    If they were to show up, they would probably recognize him at a glance. At that time, it would be extremely awkward for them.


    However, this kind of situation would eventually come to an end. Therefore, Su Xiruo braced himself and agreed: "Alright, then send someone to deliver the invitations to the few Supreme Realm cultivators and Mercenary Guild."


    "Yes." As he spoke to here, Han Ye changed the topic. "High Lord, there''s one more thing."


    "What?"


    "I heard that today, Nine-Tailed Fox Clan''s new Patriarch has ascended to the throne." "And it''s even a young Expert of Spirit God!"


    Su Xiruo was slightly startled, the emotions in his heart were mixed, but they quickly turned back into a calm expression. He spoke without any shock, as if he didn''t care: "What does the matter with Orc Clan have to do with me?"


    "I just said it out for you to hear. I didn''t mean anything else." Han Ye saw that she didn''t care and didn''t say anything more.


    Why is it that when Orc Clan is mentioned, it is abnormal for High Lord. Could it be that High Lord and Orc Clan have some sort of enmity?


    Although they were somewhat suspicious, if Xi Xi was unwilling to speak, Han Ye would not dare to ask.


    "In the future, if I don''t ask, don''t tell me about Orc Clan anymore." Su Xiruo interrupted him, as though she was not willing to listen to him anymore.


    She only wanted to bury everything regarding Yun Qian deep down in her heart and never mention it again. Otherwise, she would only be trapped in a cycle of death and suffering. To them, this would be torture!


    "Yes." Han Ye immediately agreed. Seeing her stand up, he continued to ask, "High Lord, where are you going?"


    Su Xiruo calmly said, "I''m going to the Medicine Pavilion, there''s no need to follow me."


    Han Ye looked at Su Xiruo''s leaving figure for a while, and still couldn''t figure out what this girl was thinking.


    Su Xiruo came to the Poison Sect alone. The disciples who were guarding the gate all bowed down, "High Lord."


    As she slowly stepped in, the disciple guarding the Medicine Pavilion stood up and greeted her, "High Lord!"


    "I asked you to find those fifty or so medicinal herbs. How much have you found?" Su Xiruo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.


    More than a month ago, Su Xiruo had given the formula for the Dissolving Gu''s antidote to this disciple so that disciple could follow the ingredients written on the formula and find them one by one from the Medicine Pavilion.


    Because during this period of time, the matter of the Poison Sect was too complicated, thus, she only got the time today, so she came to Medicine Pavilion to inquire.


    "High Lord." The disciple reported truthfully, "The vast majority of the medicinal herbs written on the prescription can be found at the Medicine Pavilion. It''s just that I''m still missing the money for four types of medicinal herbs.


    "Which four medicinal herbs?" Su Xiruo asked.


    The disciple slightly nodded his head and reported: "Rot Grass, Nine Star Grass, Profound Ice Stone and Herba Phellodendri, other than Profound Ice Stone being treasures, the other three are all Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials!"


    There were not many Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials in the entire empire, not to mention the three designated Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials, there was even a treasure!


    As one might imagine, gathering all the medicinal ingredients needed for the antidote was an extremely difficult matter.


    However, she was not in a hurry to gather all of the ingredients. After all, her own Poison Master had only just reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Ranked, so even if she had all the ingredients, she would not be able to refine the antidote!


    Therefore, she would slowly gather the remaining four medicinal ingredients.


    "Got it." Su Xiruo did not say much, "Bring all the ingredients over to your Tempest Pavilion later."


    "Yes."


    Su Xiruo returned to the inner hall of the Tempest Pavilion and flipped through the thick book of Poison Book s, searching for the whereabouts of the remaining four medicinal ingredients.


    The Level 8 Spirit Demon Grass was a medicinal ingredient unique to the Profound Yin Empire Imperial Family, it was only grown in the Profound Yin Empire Imperial Family, the Nine Star Grass was in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, under the protection of the Level 8 Five-star Flaming Tiger s, and the Profound Ice Stone s were in the Mermaid s sea area.


    As for Herba Phellodendri, there were only portraits of them on the Poison Book, but there were no records of where they could be found.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly. Thinking back, a Rank 8 Spirit Beast was equivalent to the strength of a human being''s Spirit God. Even if it was his current self, he still might not be able to handle it.


    The Mermaid Clan was one of the three god Orc Clan, and the Profound Ice Stone was also considered as the treasure of the Mermaid Clan. They would not give it up so easily, so he could not afford to offend them.


    The only one who could take action was the Profound Yin Empire Imperial Family. As long as he was more sincere and took out a few other rare Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials to exchange, the Emperor would more or less give some face to the Poison Sect.


    After Poison Sect''s banquet was over, he would take a trip to the Profound Yin Empire himself.

 C235

    Three days later, Poison Sect invited the leaders of the other three great forces, as well as Medical Sovereign s at the border of Phoenix Nest Empire.


    In the early morning, Su Xiruo changed into a red, sharp, golden, and embroidered skirt. Qing Yuan helped her comb up into a frightening bun, her beautiful eyes were smoky, and her delicate, alluring cherry lips made her look extremely mesmerizing.


    She was clearly an innocent girl, but there was a hint of coldness and elegance in her demeanor.


    Looking at his own reflection in the copper mirror, Su Xiruo was slightly lost in thought.


    "High Lord." At this time, a disciple hurriedly came in from outside.


    "What''s all this fuss about?" Su Xiruo frowned and asked coldly.


    That disciple immediately said: "There is a young man outside the Poison Sect, he said that he knows you, High Lord, and he wishes to come in to meet you!"


    "Young man?" Heh, when did I ever know a youth? " Su Xiruo did not take it seriously at all, "Blast it out."


    Qing Yuan, who was at the side, also coldly warned: "For such a small matter to come and obstruct High Lord''s view, it''s truly useless!"


    "But, your subordinates ¡­ I''m afraid we can''t stop them. " That disciple lowered his head, looking extremely troubled, "Although it''s just a youth, that youth is extremely powerful. At this time, I''m afraid he''s already rushed over to the Tempest Pavilion."


    "What?" Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows, revealing a trace of dangerous aura, as she was quite interested in this young man.


    Immediately, a burst of noise came from outside the Tempest Pavilion, and some sounds of fighting. Su Xiruo could faintly feel a strong Strength of Beast Spirit approaching him, with the strength of at least Spirit Sovereign s!


    Furthermore, she felt that this Strength of Beast Spirit was very familiar.


    Su Xiruo increased his vigilance. Just as he stood up, a white figure rushed into the room, turned into a white clothed youth, and appeared in front of Su Xiruo. More than ten Poison Sect disciples chased after him from behind, and were probably played around by him, taking their weapons and surrounding the youth.


    "High Lord, it is this subordinate who is incompetent, please forgive me for allowing this brat to barge into the Tempest Pavilion and disturb High Lord!" The leading disciple quickly knelt down to apologize.


    Su Xiruo looked carefully and the young man in white standing in front of him was actually Mu Jin, whom he hadn''t seen for a year.


    Mu Jin immediately held onto Xi Ruo''s body, looking happy: "Master, I''ve finally found you."


    "How dare you!" Seeing how frivolous this youth was, the disciples behind him shouted coldly, "How dare he be so disrespectful to our High Lord, quickly let go!"


    Su Xiruo slightly knitted his brows, and coldly said. "All of you, stand down for this sovereign!"


    The disciple was stunned for a moment. Although it was strange, he did not dare disobey High Lord''s words and could only agree.


    Thus, those disciples withdrew their Tempest Pavilion one after another. Su Xiruo glanced at Qing Yuan, who was standing beside him, and said in a gentler tone: "Qing Yuan, you wait outside for the time being as well!"


    Qing Yuan immediately understood that this youth was probably an old friend of the High Lord. Without saying much more, he turned around and left the Tempest Pavilion, carefully closing the door.


    "Master, you made me look for you with such difficulty. But luckily, I finally found you." Mu Jin looked at Su Xiruo happily, feeling extremely happy in his heart.


    Su Xiruo still had not recovered from his shock and joy rose involuntarily.


    Mu Jin was not dead, and was even standing right in front of him.


    "Come here, let me see." Su Xiruo waved him over, asking him to come closer, so that he could carefully size him up.


    Mu Jin was dressed in a snow white, straight robe, her hair was half hanging down, her beautiful face was pale white, it had been almost a year since they last met.


    Xi Ruo remembered that one year ago, this little fellow was about the same size as her. But now, it was actually taller than her by a head.


    Furthermore, the Spiritual Strength around Mu Jin was many times stronger than it was a year ago. Su Xiruo guessed that the current Mu Jin had to at least have the strength of a!


    "Where have you been this year?" Su Xiruo could not help but ask with a worried tone, afraid that if he was alone in the world and not know anything, he would suffer a lot of losses.


    However, looking at his ruddy complexion, he didn''t seem to have suffered much.


    Mu Jin bit his lower lip, and in that moment, he did not know how to explain it to her: "It''s a long story, in short, I went to a place that I did not want to go. Today, I finally had the chance to run out and look for Master."


    "You ran out?" The more Su Xiruo heard, the more confused he became. "It came from your house?"


    "Something like that." His answer was a bit of a stutter,


    "You came out alone like this. Aren''t you afraid that your family will worry and look for you?" Su Xiruo sighed helplessly, "Come, tell me, where is your home, I''ll send you back."


    After she finished speaking, she pulled Mu Jin''s hand and was about to stand up, but Mu Jin quickly shook his head: "No no no, I ran out with great difficulty. If you send me back, I will never be able to come out again."


    Mu Jin looked at Su Xiruo pitifully: "Master, Mu Jin only wants to stay by your side, do you not want Mu Jin anymore?"


    Seeing his attire and face, Su Xiruo thought that his family treated him quite well. It must be because of this brat''s mischievous personality, which made him run out on his own.


    However, this little guy was here to see him and report back to him that he was safe, so it was better not to blame him.


    Thinking up to here, Su Xiruo''s tone became much more gentle: "Even if you want to stay by my side, you should at least go back and greet your family right?"


    "If they knew, they wouldn''t let me stay by your side." Mu Jin curled his lips, and said unhappily, "Mu Jin hasn''t seen Master for a year, and now, Master wants to kick me out the moment we meet. What kind of logic is this? Looks like in Master''s heart, you definitely do not care about Mu Jin anymore. "


    Seeing his dejected look, Su Xiruo immediately comforted him: "I ¡­ "That''s not what I meant."


    "Since that''s the case, you can let me stay." Mu Jin followed the vines and stroked the melon, wholeheartedly wanting to stay.


    This time, he secretly escaped, and did not intend to return.


    At this time, before Su Xiruo could reply, there was a series of knocks on the door from outside. Han Ye''s voice came leisurely: "High Lord, the three Venerable Ones and Chief Protector Mercenary Guild are already waiting for you at Blue Luan Hall."


    "Got it." Su Xiruo indifferently replied, he thought, I can''t let the few elders wait for me for too long, I just have to deal with Mu Jin''s matter later.


    Therefore, she turned around and spoke to Mu Jin: "I still have some matters to take care of. Wait for me in the Inner Palace Hall, I don''t want to go anywhere else, understand?"


    "Got it." Mu Jin unwillingly agreed and then found a seat.


    After Su Xiruo left the Tempest Pavilion, Mu Jin could no longer sit still. He instantly got up, turned into a shadow and secretly followed along.


    Poison Sect, main hall of the Blue Luan Palace.


    The Spirit Sovereign, the Artifact Sovereign, and the Great Guardian Xuan Qing of the Mercenary Guild were all present and sitting according to their seniority.


    Su Xiruo was dressed in a golden long dress, she appeared in everyone''s line of sight, sat down on the main seat, and slowly spoke: "Today, many thanks to all of you Masters for coming to Poison Sect to support us, if my Poison Sect is lacking anything, please forgive me."


    In the next second, they could clearly see Su Xiruo''s face. Aside from the Artifact Sovereign whom they had never met, all four of them revealed shocked expressions, as if they did not expect that the new successor of Poison Sect would actually be such a little girl!


    "It''s you ¡­" Spirit Sovereign frowned slightly, still unable to react.


    The most surprised was Xuan Qing. He could not help but blurt out, "Madam ¡­ Does Madame know where our President is? "


    Being asked in such a manner, the corners of Su Xiruo''s lips slightly raised, and revealed a frivolous smile: "Madam, please do not call me that. As for where you two will grow up, what does that have to do with me?"


    Her tone was neither hot nor cold, as if this matter had nothing to do with her at all.


    Hearing to here, Xuan Qing was instantly a little displeased: "At that time, the President left the Mercenary Guild to look for you and never came back! You don''t even know where the president is? "

 C236

    "I no longer have any relationship with your guild leader. By questioning him like that, do you think I''ve harmed your guild leader?" Su Xiruo was expressionless and her tone of voice was cold, but it carried a hint of displeasure.


    This kind of tone made Xuan Qing a little unhappy in his heart: "Miss Su and the President could be considered to be mutual lovers, but now saying such words, isn''t it too much of a loss of face?"


    Even though the President wasn''t in the Mercenary Guild all year round, it was very rare for them to break off the connection. Now that they had met again, the Miss Su was fine, but the President was nowhere to be seen.


    As a result, he was somewhat worried if something had happened to the guild leader.


    "It''s impossible that Miss Su doesn''t know anything about the whereabouts of the president, right?" Seeing that she did not say a word, Xuan Qing continued to ask.


    Su Xiruo said coldly: Xuan Qing, this is Poison Sect, I invite you to take note of my own words, today I specially invited all of you to be guests here, if you are friendly, I would welcome you, but if you are here to cause trouble, my Poison Sect will not allow you to be so presumptuous!


    Her voice was cold, and her expression was unperturbed. Her cold aura was full of energy, as if she was about to directly send the order to expel a guest the next second.


    "You ¡­" Xuan Qing''s fingers were curled tightly, and just as he was about to say something, Spirit Sovereign spoke up.


    "Alright, please do not be angry." Spirit Sovereign''s tone was very gentle, "Chief Protector, I believe Poison Sovereign really doesn''t know where Yun Qian is. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me not to tell you.


    Xuan Qing coldly snorted, "I just want to know the position of the president. I don''t care about anything else!"


    "If you want to know the whereabouts of your guild leader, then go find him yourself. Why do you need to ask this sovereign about it?" Su Xiruo smiled noncommittally, and his tone carried a little disdain.


    Xuan Qing did not speak further, he lowered his head and drank his wine, but seeing as the Spirit Sovereign was doing this, he did not want to bother with her!


    As for the Medical Sovereign, her gaze was always on Su Xiruo, as if she had discovered that her physique was different from what it was before.


    This little girl was clearly of the yang attribute. But today, she had actually become of both yin and yang. This kind of thing was something that was rarely seen in a hundred years!


    Could it be ¡­ He seemed to have guessed what was going on, but pretended that he didn''t know anything as he said: "I heard earlier that the new Poison Sovereign was a seventeen year old girl, this old man doesn''t believe it. Seeing it today, if it''s really like that, at such an age, he''s already at the Expert of Spirit God.


    "Medical Sovereign is too kind." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth rose slightly as he returned a smile.


    The most strange thing were the Spirit Sovereign and Xuan Qing. Before this, this girl only had a small Spirit Monarch, but it had only been a few months since they last met, yet her Expert of Spirit God was already at that level!


    Could it be that this girl had gotten some sort of fortuitous gain, which resulted in her strength suddenly increasing so greatly?


    Spirit Sovereign did not continue to guess. After some idle chatter, the topic of conversation changed to the Vicious Beasts: "The Vicious Beasts is momentarily confused, and everyone is still paying attention to their own situation. Before this old man had already suspected that there was a problem with the Profound Yin Empire, Yun Qian also told this old man that the Profound Yin Empire Guild Master was very strange, but there is nothing else to say about this matter."


    "Is Spirit Sovereign talking about Mo Yu?" Xuan Qing asked.


    "Exactly."


    Xuan Qing bit his lower lip and nodded slightly. "Since this is a matter of our Mercenary Guild, I will naturally send people to continue the investigation."


    Right at this moment, a Poison Sect disciple came forward and poured wine for Su Xiruo.


    They just saw Mu Jin wearing the clothes of a Poison Sect disciple, carefully pouring Su Xiruo a cup of wine and smiling at her as if greeting her.


    "You ¡­" Su Xiruo said softly, "I told you to stay here, who told you to run out on your own?"


    Mu Jin replied softly, her tone filled with grievance: "Master, Mu Jin really can''t stay any longer, and was afraid that you would run away.


    Seeing Su Xiruo''s helpless look, Mu Jin added in a low voice: "I''ll just obediently stand by your side. I won''t do anything, I won''t go anywhere."


    "Forget it." Su Xiruo sighed, and could only allow him to stay.


    Yet Spirit Sovereign felt the different fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength on Mu Jin''s body, so he did not pursue further.


    It seems that the secrets of Poison Sect are quite a lot. Other than this little girl, the people around her are all extraordinary as well!


    Following that, Su Xiruo chatted with the four noble guests for a while, and then the guests all left. The moment Xuan Qing stepped out of the Poison Sect, he received the Azure Feather from Yun Qian.


    Xuan Qing opened the Azure Feather and looked at the words written on it carefully. He roughly knew what to do now.


    At this point, all of the distinguished guests in Blue Luan Hall had left. Su Xiruo walked over to Mu Jin in a bad mood, "Mu Jin, didn''t I already tell you to wait for me at Tempest Pavilion?


    "I was worried that you wouldn''t want me." Mu Jin lowered his head, looking extremely wronged.


    Seeing his pitiful look, Su Xiruo could not bear to continue blaming him: "Forget it, how about this, if you want to stay by my side, at least let me send you back, and tell your family!"


    "No, I really don''t want to go back. They must be looking for me." Mu Jin rejected repeatedly, but as he said that, he suddenly sensed something, "It''s over, it''s over, he''s coming!"


    After he finished speaking, Mu Jin hurriedly hid behind Xi Ruo. Immediately, Su Xiruo detected an even more powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Strength, which was approaching him, and felt a bit of pressure!


    Her opponent was probably much stronger than she was.


    In the next second, a middle-aged man appeared in front of her. He was dressed in blue silk clothes, and in that moment, Su Xiruo sensed an unprecedented Strength of Beast Spirit.


    "Rong Yu, you really have the guts to come to this place yourself." The man''s face was filled with anger, he pulled Mu Jin out from Su Xiruo''s back.


    "Rong Yu..." Su Xiruo frowned slightly, thoughtfully repeating the name.


    Mu Jin''s original name was Rong Yu?


    "Uncle, I know I was wrong." Rong Yu immediately had a distressed look on his face and apologized to the middle-aged man, "I just wanted to get some fresh air. Uncle, please let me stay in the outside world for a little longer."


    "Nonsense!" There was no need to doubt the tone of the middle-aged man.


    Seeing the situation, Rong Yu immediately pulled at the corner of Su Xiruo''s clothes and pleaded: "Master, quickly save me, I really don''t want to go back!"


    Su Xiruo was startled, before he could react, he looked at the middle aged man and asked: "May I know who you are?"


    The middle-aged man saw that Xi Ruo had opened her mouth and his attitude became courteous: "I am the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, Rong Mo, today I did not mean to disturb the Poison Sect, but rather, to drag my disobedient nephew back, causing trouble for the Poison Sovereign, I am truly sorry."


    After he finished speaking, Rong Mo was about to leave with Rong Yu.


    "Patriarch Phoenix Clan." Su Xiruo was a little surprised, and took the opportunity to ask, "Then, Mu ¡­ Rong Yu is a Youngest Prince of the Phoenix Clan? "


    "That''s right." Rong Mo admitted it himself.


    Su Xiruo threw Rong Yu a look of disbelief, as if asking him what exactly was going on.


    Why was it that after being together with this little fellow for so long, he''d never revealed his identity once?


    It was no wonder that she had felt that this Chinese Kite was not ordinary. It turned out that Mu Jin was not some Chinese Kite at all, he was a Divine Phoenix Beast!


    "Master, I... I didn''t know who I was before, and I didn''t mean to hide it from you. " Rong Yu saw her astonishment and immediately wanted to explain, afraid that he would be misunderstood by his master.


    "Enough!" Rong Mo interrupted his words, "A dignified Phoenix Clan Prince, in the future, you will inherit the position of Patriarch, yet you are so mischievous and ignorant. Once we return to the Phoenix Clan, this sovereign will definitely teach you a lesson!"

 C237

    Then, he said to Su Xiruo: "Poison Sovereign, sorry to bother you!"


    Rong Yu immediately gave Su Xiruo a pitiful look, as if he was begging for help, asking her to save him.


    Su Xiruo laughed awkwardly, then said: "Patriarch, Rong Yu is considered this sovereign''s friend, and today, this sovereign specially invited him to come here. I hope Patriarch does not blame him, if he is not willing to return to Phoenix Clan for the time being, you can just let him stay here for two more days."


    Rong Yu nodded again and again, and agreed with her: "Yes, yes!"


    Rong Mo coldly stared at Rong Yu, and politely said to Su Xiruo: "Poison Sovereign might not know, but it''s not that this one doesn''t want Rong Yu to stay, it''s just that he''s young and ignorant, I''m just worried that he might cause some trouble. In addition, in these few days, the Patriarch of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has just ascended to the throne.


    In fact, Rong Mo said so much just to be polite. He was just afraid that the Little Phoenix would not stay still and cause trouble everywhere.


    After all, a year ago, after Lu Qingmo brought Rong Yu back, he had always wanted to leave the Phoenix Clan and think of ways to escape.


    Therefore, he tried his best to not let Rong Yu leave the Phoenix Clan, so that his Highness, who he had finally managed to find, wouldn''t disappear into thin air.


    "If that is the case, I will not be able to help you." Su Xiruo gave Rong Yu a helpless look.


    After all, this was a matter of their Orc Clan. If he wanted to interfere, he didn''t have the qualifications to.


    Although she also wanted Rong Yu to stay by her side, Rong Yu''s true identity was after all, his highness Phoenix Clan. In the future, the Patriarch of Phoenix Clan would no longer be that Chinese Kite by her side.


    He had no reason to keep him by his side.


    "Master, you can''t do this." Rong Yu pouted. When he heard that he still had to go back, he was extremely frustrated.


    "When you are free, come and find me at any time." Su Xiruo could only say this to him, "If I''m free, I''ll also go to the Phoenix Clan to see you, how about it?"


    Rong Yu sighed helplessly, and Rong Mo also did not give him face. She grabbed onto Rong Yu''s shoulder, said her goodbyes to Su Xiruo, and forcefully took Rong Yu and left.


    Su Xiruo looked at the direction that Rong Yu disappeared in, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt somewhat empty.


    Originally, he thought that Mu Jin had returned to his side once again, but he never thought that this time, he would actually bring back such a special identity.


    It looks like, they are destined to not be able to return to the days of the past.


    In the Phoenix Clan realm, it was like a fairyland. Smoke filled the air and the palace was neat and tidy.


    Rong Mo brought Rong Yu back to the Phoenix Lecture Hall. With a wave of his hand, Rong Yu revealed his human form, raised his hand and drew a line of Barrier in the hall: "You better think about it properly, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"


    "Uncle, I know I was wrong." When Rong Yu saw his uncle''s fierce eyes, he immediately admitted his wrongs, "Don''t keep me under house arrest. If you do this, I''ll really suffocate to death."


    "In the time it takes for this sovereign to go and drink a cup of tea, you actually went to the Poison Sect! That is the territory of the Humans, if there is any trouble, this sovereign will not be able to clean up the mess for you!" Rong Mo was instantly angered beyond belief, and berated, "Fortunately, Poison Sovereign did not blame you today, so you were lucky!"


    Rong Yu lowered his head, a little unwilling: "Uncle, I like Xiruo, I want to marry her as my wife."


    "What did you say?" Rong Mo thought that he had heard wrongly.


    "Anyway, Uncle, aren''t you helping me find a wife or concubine? I like Xiruo. Other than Xiruo, I don''t want anyone else!" Rong Yu looked fearless, as though he had made his decision.


    It was with great difficulty that he found his master, and he also knew that he could no longer continue to be by his master''s side like before.


    Hence, the only possibility was to marry her master. That way, they could be together in name.


    "But this woman is different. She belongs to Humans, and is also the master of Poison Sect. Uncle is afraid that you will not be able to control a woman like this in the future." Rong Mo was still a little worried in his heart.


    Although the marriage between Orc Clan and itself was not rare, that Su Xiruo, a seventeen year old little girl, killed Jiang Lingye with her own strength, and overturned the Poison Sect. Presumably, she was not some simple person, and Rong Yu''s personality was also simple.


    "Xixi, if you weren''t such a person!" Rong Yu hurriedly rebutted, as though he did not allow anyone to say anything bad about his master.


    "Did you know that Poison Sovereign before?" Rong Mo started to become curious about this matter.


    Rong Yu nodded with incomparable sincerity: "That''s right, previously, when I was in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, Xiruo had saved my life and brought me out of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. After that, I followed her until that time when there was a disturbance in the Mercenary Academy and your people brought me back to the Phoenix Clan, then I never saw her again."


    "So that''s how it is." Rong Mo roughly understood what he meant, "Rong Yu, your uncle doesn''t object to who you want to marry, but now, your uncle hopes that you can focus your attention on cultivation and Phoenix Clan. After all, you are the future Patriarch!"


    In this way, Rong Yu''s ears almost turned callus, but he still asked with great anticipation, "Then can I just cultivate properly and marry Xi Ruo back into Phoenix Clan?"


    "When you advance to the Spirit God realm, Uncle will allow you to take a wife." Rong Mo immediately agreed, and then changed the topic, "However, you also want to see if I agree or not."


    Listening to him say that, Rong Yu''s face revealed a little dejection, "Isn''t it taking too long?"


    He was currently in the Spirit Sovereign and if he wanted to advance his Spirit God, it would probably take at least a year. Thinking that he would need at least a year before he could marry Xiruo, Rong Yu felt extremely depressed in his heart.


    "Then work hard and advance your cultivation as soon as possible. Don''t spend all your time thinking about useless things." Rong Mo rolled his eyes at her, not willing to continue with the nonsense, "I still have things to do, you should think about it yourself.


    "Uncle, don''t go yet!" Rong Yu knew that once his uncle left, he would never be able to think about leaving the Inner Palace ever again.


    Rong Mo stopped walking and was obviously impatient: "What else do you want?"


    "Uncle, don''t be angry." Rong Yu blinked her bright and beautiful eyes, with a pitiful look: "Didn''t you just say that you want to take me to Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to visit that Fox-Race Patriarch? Why don''t we go today? "


    Then, he could find an opportunity to escape!


    "Tomorrow." Rong Mo frowned slightly, he knew that Yun Che would not be able to stay idle, "It''s already late, there''s no reason for us to pay a visit at night, tomorrow morning, we''ll pay a visit at Fox Clan once more!"


    "They''re both Divine Orc Clan, there''s no need for them to be so courteous. It''s always the same whenever they go." Rong Yu scoffed, but did not think much of it, "Besides, I heard that the Fox-Race Patriarch is from the same generation as me, and in terms of seniority, you are an elder, so you don''t have to respect him, a junior."


    Rong Mo interrupted him with a cold tone: "Don''t speak nonsense. Although that Fox-Race Patriarch is young, his strength is not far from this sovereign''s. He had only ascended the throne for more than ten days, and he had already usurped several Orc Clan s from the vicinity of the Fox Clan."


    As a result, the little patriarch of Fox Clan was not a simple person. It was better for him to be cautious, and maintain a friendly relationship with him.


    "Alright then." Rong Yu could only helplessly agree, "Uncle, remember to call me tomorrow!"


    Tomorrow then, he would stay here for the night. Tomorrow, early in the morning, he would leave!


    Rong Mo rolled his eyes as he did not say a word and directly left the Inner Palace. It was probably because he felt that this little fellow was planning something bad in his heart!


    Rong Yu sat in a seat at the side, a crafty smile on his face.

 C238

    In the early morning of the next day, Rong Mo brought a maid over to personally invite Rong Yu over. With a wave of his hand, he opened the Barrier: "Go in and help His Highness comb your clothes."


    "Yes." The two female attendants then entered the inner hall. "Your Highness, your servant has come to help you wash and change your clothes."


    Rong Mo waited outside, not moving an inch away, afraid that the little guy would play some tricks and run away under his watch.


    Who would have thought that after a while, two maids would hurriedly run out of the inner hall, and open their mouths to speak with a worried expression on their faces, "Patriarch, when this servant went in, His Highness ¡­ There''s no trace of them! "


    "What?" Rong Mo opened his eyes wide, as if he felt that it was somewhat inconceivable, "How can he break open the Barrier this sovereign set up yesterday?"


    With Rong Yu''s strength, if he did not borrow the strength of the Divine Instrument, it would be impossible for him to break open the Barrier he had set up.


    Therefore, Rong Mo subconsciously touched his Storage Ring, and suddenly realized that his Green Hellish Sword had disappeared!


    It must have been yesterday that unfilial son took advantage of the time when he was asking him to secretly take the Divine Instrument away and used it to break open the Barrier!


    Thinking about it, Rong Mo became flustered and exasperated, his face darkened: "This unfilial son, he is truly bold to the point of covering the sky!"


    Then, Rong Mo ordered coldly: "Men, send people to look for Youngest Prince, tie him up and bring that unfilial son of mine back!"


    "Yes sir!"


    The Profound Yin Empire Imperial Palace was vast and majestic, and its extraordinary grandeur was clearly stronger than the palaces of the other three empires.


    Su Xiruo brought Qing Yuan to pay a visit to the Emperor of Profound Yin Empire for the unique Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials of the imperial family, the Rampage Grass. In order to express her sincerity, she even brought the Heaven Dao Jade and the Blood Moon Ginseng as exchange.


    Entering the palace, there was a special receptionist, who placed Su Xiruo in an empty palace.


    "Poison Sovereign, please wait for a moment. His Majesty will personally come to see the Lord." The tone with which the guard greeted her was respectful and respectful.


    "Sorry for the trouble." Su Xiruo spat out these three words casually.


    The guard bowed slightly, then turned and left, and at that moment, only Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan were left in the hall.


    "High Lord, do you think the old Emperor is willing to make this exchange with us?" Qing Yuan''s tone carried some suspicion.


    "Then I don''t know." Su Xiruo thought, even if he was not willing, he had to think of a way to make the other party willingly exchange with him!


    She was determined to get her hands on the Rot Glossary Grass today.


    After a while, a man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes walked in from outside. He was wearing a suit of black embroidered clothes and had a dignified and graceful appearance.


    The man walked up and bowed towards Su Xiruo: "Poison Sovereign, this king is the First Prince of the Profound Yin Empire, Lin Shaoze, the Royal Father has gone out to hunt today, and has not even returned to the palace. This king has already sent someone to notify the Royal Father, so before that, let this king entertain the Venerable One!"


    As Lin Shaoze spoke, he sized up the young girl who was sitting at the side.


    He looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen, but he was actually at the Expert of Spirit God? In his heart, he more or less felt that it was a little inconceivable. The Spiritual Strength around his body secretly surged, wanting to find out the bottom of this young girl''s heart.


    "Then I''ll be troubling First Prince." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, he knew that the man was probing her, and a Spiritual Strength appeared in the darkness, blocking Lin Shaoze''s Spiritual Strength!


    In the next second, Lin Shaoze collided with a wall, but his heart trembled.


    This girl looked harmless, but the Spiritual Strength in her body was bottomless. With her nine star Spirit Monarch, she was simply unable to get even a hair''s breadth away from it.


    Instantly, Lin Shaoze slightly lowered his head. "My apologies."


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, and she spoke casually, "If Your Majesty is unable to return to the palace, then there''s no harm. This sovereign has come to the Profound Yin Empire in order to obtain the Flowing Light Grass of the Profound Yin Empire, if the First Prince can make the decision, then don''t disturb the Emperor''s interest, and let him return."


    Then, Su Xiruo added: "However, this sovereign has not taken the Ruminant Jade Grass for nothing, Qing Yuan!"


    Qing Yuan then walked forward and opened the two exquisite wooden boxes in his hands, inside were two high quality Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials s.


    "This Blood Moon Ginseng and the Heaven''s Path Jade are from this noble one. They are used to exchange for lustful grass." Seeing Lin Shaoze was in a daze, Su Xiruo took the initiative to explain.


    "Rot Glossy Grass." Lin Shaoze was stunned for a moment. He thought, this is the treasure of their palace.


    Even if he, Lin Shaoze, was the First Prince of the Profound Yin Empire, he had no right to touch that Putrid Grass on his own.


    "I''m sorry, Poison Sovereign." Lin Shaoze had no choice but to reply in a helpless tone, "Royal Father has a rule stating that the Rare Gem Grass is extremely precious, and other than him, no one else has the right to touch it. Thus, I''m afraid that Poison Sovereign will have to wait until Royal Father returns to the palace before doing so."


    Although he was helpless, Su Xiruo could understand what he meant, and did not say much: "If that''s the case, then let us follow the rules of your palace."


    "How about this, Royal Father will probably need more time before he can return. How about I bring Poison Sovereign to take a walk around the palace, what do you think?" Lin Shaoze suggested.


    After all, the identity of this person was not small. He definitely could not be negligent.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo indifferently replied.


    Since he was bored to death, he decided to take a stroll around the city to pass the time.


    Thus, Lin Shaoze led the way ahead while Su Xiruo followed behind him as if nothing had happened. On the surface, she didn''t seem surprised, but in her heart, she felt that the Profound Yin Empire palace was truly extraordinary.


    It was worthy of being the most powerful Profound Yin Empire among the Four Great Empires. Normally, they would not show it, but today, seeing it with their own eyes, one could tell how powerful their Profound Yin Empire was just from looking at it.


    The scenery of the imperial garden was even more beautiful, with beautiful flowers and flowers everywhere. Su Xiruo passed by the Lotus Pond and suddenly focused his attention.


    She could faintly feel that there was a strange fluctuation hidden under the lotus pond. It was a wave of strong Strength of Beast Spirit!


    Weird, why is there a Strength of Beast Spirit''s fluctuation in this Lotus Pond. Could it be that some kind of spirit beast was hidden in the bottom of the pond?


    But what was different from the normal Strength of Beast Spirit was that the power was so evil that it made people''s hearts tremble, and it was exactly the same as the evil Spiritual Strength around the Vicious Beasts!


    Just as doubt was growing in Su Xiruo''s heart, on the other side, the palace maids cried out in alarm, "Not good, the little princess has fallen into the lotus pond!"


    Su Xiruo turned his head to look and saw a seven or eight year old little girl struggling in the water.


    "Princess fell into the water?" When Lin Shaoze heard this voice, he was instantly unable to calm down. The scorching hot Spiritual Strength was released, and just as he was about to jump in to save the person, he heard a loud noise!


    "Bang ~ ~ ~"


    A dragon fish that was three to four meters tall drilled out from the bottom of the pond. The surroundings emitted an evil and evil Spiritual Strength, and its eyes were blood-red, as if it had lost its mind.


    The Winged Flood Dragon let out a breath of rage and knocked Lin Shaoze back to the ground. It then let out another breath of air to attack those from the palace, causing numerous casualties!


    Suddenly, the whole imperial garden seemed to explode, and the palace maids and guards fled in all directions, panicking endlessly.


    The young lady in the lotus pond cried non-stop. With a flick of her tail, the dragon fish saw that the strong waves were about to smash the little girl into the bottom of the pond. In the next second, Su Xiruo''s toes lightly tapped the pond and fished the girl out of the water.


    As if it had lost consciousness, the dragon fish frantically breathed out to attack Su Xiruo. With one arm holding the girl, Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows and calmly struck out with the other hand, completely freezing the water ripples that the dragon fish spat out!


    Following that, she turned her hand and released a scorching suppressive force, completely suppressing the dragon fish''s Spiritual Strength. In an instant, the dragon fish regained its previous calmness, unable to move at all.


    Su Xiruo carried the little girl and went ashore. Lin Shaoze immediately went forward to hug the little girl who was shocked, and asked with concern: "Widow, don''t be afraid, everything is fine!"


    Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, the Can Meng came out of its scabbard, and from between his brows, a clear intent of slaughter emerged. He planned to directly kill the Vicious Beasts that had lost its mind, but he heard Lin Shaoze''s voice: "Poison Sovereign, please stop!"

 C239

    Therefore, Su Xiruo kept the Can Meng. He was slightly surprised, "Do you still want the First Prince to keep these Vicious Beasts from the palace?"


    "No." Lin Shaoze held the little girl, stood up and explained, "We naturally have to kill the Vicious Beasts. However, since this is our own matter regarding Profound Yin Empire, we ask High Lord to let us handle this Vicious Beasts ourselves."


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you." Qing Yuan, who was standing at the side, was a little unhappy, "If my High Lord does not take action, who among you can suppress the dragon fish? "Are you complaining that we''re being nosy this time?"


    "Qing Yuan!" Su Xiruo interrupted Qing Yuan and agreed, "Since that''s the case, let the First Prince handle the Vicious Beasts."


    Then, she probed: "But this sovereign still doesn''t understand, why is there such a Vicious Beasts hidden in this imperial garden?"


    Even if others did not know of the existence of the Seventh Rank Serpent Fish, how could the emperor of the Profound Yin Empire not know that there was a Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts hidden here?


    This Wyrm Fish should belong to the Mermaid race. Su Xiruo thought back to how Spirit Sovereign seemed to feel that there was a problem with his Profound Yin Empire when he mentioned the Vicious Beasts.


    Now, from her point of view, this Profound Yin Empire was truly a little fishy.


    "Cough, cough." Lin Shaoze stammered in response, as if he was temporarily compiling something, "This Vicious Beasts was originally suppressed here by the Royal Father, but today she was frightened, so she suddenly ran out and disturbed the Venerable One. I am truly sorry."


    It seemed like this fellow was unwilling to tell him the truth!


    However, Su Xiruo did not expose her directly, he nodded his head, and pretended to turn a blind eye, and then walked over.


    "First Prince, the little princess has fainted!" At this time, one of the palace maids anxiously spoke up.


    Lin Shaoze hurriedly turned his head and picked up the little girl who was already unconscious. "Hurry and call the doctor."


    Su Xiruo slowly walked forward, extended a hand and gently probed the little girl''s pulse, her red lips opened: "She choked on a lot of water, and needs to vomit immediately."


    "This ¡­" For a moment, Lin Shaoze was at a loss of what to do, and he hurriedly asked, "Does Poison Sovereign have a way?"


    He suddenly remembered that the Poison Sovereign was right in front of him.


    Su Xiruo received the little girl and injected a purplish black Spiritual Strength into her body. He lightly patted her back and in the next second, the little girl began to cough intensely. She spat out a lot of water, but she was still half unconscious.


    After that, Su Xiruo took out a pill from the Storage Ring and fed it to the girl.


    "Widow, how is she?" Lin Shaoze hurriedly asked with concern.


    "Nothing serious, I will wake up in two hours." Su Xiruo returned the little girl to Lin Shaoze, and said with a cold and clear voice, "It''s just that since the little princess has fallen into the water, she will definitely be affected by the cold. Tell someone to cook the ginger soup, and feed it to the little princess later."


    "Thank you Poison Sovereign for saving me." Lin Shaoze hugged the little girl and repeatedly thanked her. "Men, settle the princess down first!"


    Out of the corner of his eye, Su Xiruo accidentally landed on the fish swimming in the water.


    After staying for another four hours, he found out that the emperor had found out that the princess had fallen into the water, and rushed back to the palace. After confirming that the little princess had awoken, he immediately went to see Su Xiruo.


    "The emperor has arrived!"


    When Su Xiruo heard these words, he just sat there and casually sipped the tea in his hand, not wanting to get up at all.


    Wearing a golden dragon robe, he looked extremely dignified and elegant. Presumably, he was the emperor of the Profound Yin Empire, Lin Chuya!


    She didn''t expect that the Emperor would have such confidence. He actually made her wait more than four hours before returning to the palace to meet her!


    Lin Chuya stepped into the hall and spoke politely: "I have made Poison Sovereign wait for a long time, I should apologize to the Lord."


    Su Xiruo shot a glance at him from the corner of his eyes. If not for his request, Su Xiruo would not have given him a pleasant expression. He could only suppress his displeasure and spoke up, "The Emperor''s hunting interest is truly excellent!"


    "The Venerable One sure knows how to make fun of us." Lin Chuya laughed awkwardly.


    "You can''t say it''s teasing." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth slightly rose as he gave a coquettish smile, "It''s just that I''ve heard that the Profound Yin Empire Emperor understands etiquette the most. Now that I see him today, it doesn''t seem to be the same as what the outside world says, does it?"


    Lin Chuya was startled, at that moment, he did not know how to respond.


    He had heard that the new Poison Sovereign of the Poison Sect was only a seventeen year old girl. The level of the Poison Master was not high either, so he had initially thought that this little girl would be easy to deal with.


    But with just a few words of conversation, he already felt that this little girl''s words were aggressive and didn''t give him the slightest bit of face!


    Although Xi Ruo had come to the Profound Yin Empire Palace today with a gentle mindset, for the sake of equivalent exchange, since she had already sent a visit invitation to them beforehand, and their Profound Yin Empire had purposefully been slow, there was no need for him to have such a pleasant expression.


    Therefore, Lin Chuya''s attitude became much softer, "We have neglected the Venerable One, and now we apologize to the Venerable One."


    "Your majesty, don''t say that. It''s your fault, I can''t take it." Su Xiruo was too lazy to keep him in suspense, "The reason I came here today, is to get more Rot Grass."


    Lin Chuya immediately agreed without hesitation: Poison Sovereign is too serious, you saved my daughter today, so even if I have to repay you with my words, I will present you with my own two hands!


    With that, he turned his head and ordered, "Men, bring out the Rampage Grass."


    After a while, a palace maid brought a stalk of Rampage Grass in and handed it over to Su Xiruo. Su Xiruo opened the wooden box and examined it carefully to confirm that the medicinal herb was not fake.


    Since she saved the little princess'' life, then it would be considered a kindness. Thus, taking the Ruminant Grass would be considered a kindness from Lin Chuya, and with that, she wouldn''t have to use the two Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials s to exchange.


    "It''s already late today. If the Venerable One doesn''t mind, I''ll arrange a place for you to stay and rest here for the night?" On the surface, Lin Chuya looked friendly, but in reality, it was just a courtesy.


    In his heart, he did not want this girl to stay behind. After all, Profound Yin Empire were always mysterious and had many secrets, so he did not want others to know them.


    However, she pretended not to care and casually agreed, "Alright, then I''ll thank your kind hospitality."


    Su Xiruo was still brooding over the incident with the Wyrm Fish during the day, so he wanted to stay and perhaps learn some clues.


    Lin Chuya forced out a smile, but he couldn''t say anything more. After all, he was the one who brought up the polite words.


    Therefore, Lin Chuya made her arrange for a room in a secluded and remote area. There were more than ten palace maids and guards guarding outside the door, the beautiful names saying they wanted to serve her conveniently.


    But Su Xiruo knew in his heart that Lin Chuya was just feeling guilty, so he sent a few more people to stare at him.


    Qing Yuan secretly opened the window and took a look at the scenery outside, and could not help but be angry: "High Lord, what exactly is the meaning of that Emperor?


    "Looks like I''m really guilty of her this time." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly. It was probably difficult, but the more Lin Chuya did this, the more guilty he became.


    Moreover, just these few people wanting to stare at her was simply a pipe dream.


    With that, Su Xiruo turned and looked at Qing Yuan, and said: "I''m going out for a while, if anything happens, immediately send a message to me with the Azure Feather, calling me back."


    "Yes, High Lord, be careful." Qing Yuan did not forget to warn her carefully.


    "Yes." After replying to that word, Su Xiruo turned into an afterimage and disappeared from Qing Yuan''s line of sight.


    Right after leaving the side room, Xiruo felt the faintly discernible Strength of Beast Spirit, following the direction of the Spiritual Strength''s fluctuations, all the way until she found herself in a very remote place.


    The surroundings were a wasteland with no one guarding it. It did not look like a palace at all.

 C240

    Why would there be a large wave coming from a Strength of Beast Spirit in such a place?


    Su Xiruo frowned slightly as he got closer. Not far away, there was a pool of dead water, from it, a fish made of water appeared, but it looked like it had lost its consciousness. On the shore of the pool, a few masked men were feeding the fish with food.


    As for what was being fed, because they were separated by such a large distance, Su Xiruo did not see clearly either. And that Serpentine Fish, was precisely the Vicious Beasts that he had almost killed earlier that day!


    After the dragon fish swallowed the food the masked man fed, the Spiritual Strength around its body seemed to have become even stronger.


    Su Xiruo sucked in a cold breath. He probably did not expect that within this palace, they would actually be able to raise Vicious Beasts like this. No wonder today, during the day, Lin Shaoze did not allow him to kill this Flood Dragon Fish.


    It turned out that this dragon fish was raised by them in the first place. Likely, it was also raised for their sake.


    Furthermore, in her opinion, there was definitely more than one Vicious Beasts in the water. Who knows how many more were hidden in the water, there was a problem with the Profound Yin Empire!


    However, Profound Yin Empire was complicated and strong, so he had to be patient.


    Thus, Su Xiruo casually threw out a poison pill and secretly threw it into the pond water. In the next moment, he turned around and left with a mysterious smile on his face.


    Although she couldn''t do anything right now, assassinating these Vicious Beasts who were committing heinous acts wasn''t a problem!


    But what Xi Ruo didn''t know was that not far away, there was a Men In Black that saw all of her actions. Only after Xi Ruo left, did he dare to appear.


    His black eyes emitted a trace of cold killing intent.


    The next day, when Lin Chuya heard about the news of the death of a large number of Vicious Beasts from the side of the masked Dark Guard, he immediately flew into a rage!


    "Over 20 Vicious Beasts s, all of them died?" Lin Chuya''s eyes widened, he was so angry that he could not speak anymore.


    He had originally planned to release these Vicious Beasts s into the Dragon Seal Empire and Great Gan Empire so that he could control the surrounding forces of the two empires.


    "This... Who did this? " Lin Chuya stood up, flustered and exasperated.


    In the nick of time, beside Lin Chuya, sat a Men In Black wearing a silver white mask.


    Lin Chuya turned around, and unexpectedly showed a respectful attitude towards Men In Black: "Lord Candle, please explain?"


    The Men In Black who was called Candle Flame spat out two words, ice cold to the extreme: "Idiot!"


    "Your majesty!" At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the hall. Mo Yu slowly stepped into the inner hall and bowed towards Lin Chuya and the Men In Black.


    "What are you doing here?" Lin Chuya glanced at him and asked.


    Mo Yu took a step forward, and said in a hushed voice, "Because I know who it was that actually attacked those Vicious Beasts."


    "Who is it?" Lin Chuya seemed to be a little impatient.


    Men In Black sat on the same spot, expressionless, as if he had already guessed who he was.


    "He is the Poison Sovereign who came to the Imperial Palace as a guest yesterday, Su Xiruo." Mo Yu didn''t keep them in suspense and blurted out.


    Seeing that Lin Chuya still could not believe it, Mo Yu added: "This is this lowly one, I saw it with my own eyes last night. She poisoned the Yin Pond, which resulted in the bizarre deaths of more than twenty Vicious Beasts s!"


    Lin Chuya curled his fingers tightly together, and became extremely angry: "Why didn''t you say so earlier, that little girl just left the palace, this time, I''m afraid that she might not be able to catch up!"


    Moreover, even if they caught up, it would be useless. Could it be that they still had to openly oppose the Poison Sect?


    But if he lost his teeth and swallowed this down, Lin Chuya would not accept it. Furthermore, Su Xiruo had already become suspicious, what would they do if he managed to investigate?


    After a long while, the masked Men In Black who had been sitting down slowly stood up and said coldly: "I''ll take care of it."


    Lin Chuya and Mo Yu''s eyes landed on Men In Black at the same time and Lin Chuya could not help but ask, "Candle ¡­ What are you going to do? "


    The Men In Black who was called Candle Flame revealed a dangerous aura in his eyes: "Since we cannot kill her, we will control her and make her our servant."


    However, if he really had no other choice, he would still make a move and kill that troublesome woman!


    Mo Yu could not help but laugh, and said in a flattering manner, "The Lord Candle will personally do it, so the Emperor and I will naturally be at ease!"


    Candle snorted coldly and didn''t say anything else. She turned into an afterimage and disappeared from their line of sight.


    The capital of the Profound Yin Empire.


    Su Xiruo and Qing Yuan were walking along the streets of the Profound Yin Empire Market.


    "High Lord, why don''t we just go back to the Poison Sect?" Qing Yuan quietly asked her.


    Last night, the High Lord killed more than twenty Vicious Beasts. Aren''t they afraid of the other party coming up to them to denounce them for their crimes?


    "The most dangerous place would be the safest place, so I''ll just let them go to Poison Sect." Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile, as he had already made his own plans in his heart.


    In any case, even if they went to Poison Sect, they wouldn''t dare to do anything to Poison Sect. It would be better for him to stay here for a few days and then head to Spirit Beast Mountain Range to search for Nine Star Grass.


    Qing Yuan immediately understood the meaning of High Lord''s words, and slightly nodded his head: "This Profound Yin Empire, is really well-hidden, in my opinion, hiding many unknown secrets!"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "Right, pass this information to the few Supreme Realm cultivators and the other three empires, and have the other three empires immediately stop their trade with the Profound Yin Empire!"


    Although Xixi felt that there was definitely someone controlling the Profound Yin Empire from behind the scenes, if she carefully thought about it, it was clear that the other empires and even a portion of the Vicious Beasts s were created by Profound Yin Empire using the excuse of trade.


    Therefore, if the trade with Profound Yin Empire was cut, the presence of Vicious Beasts would definitely be reduced from the source.


    "Yes, I''ll inform the Honored Warriors right away."


    Suddenly, a burst of noise came from the street in front of them and it caused a disturbance.


    Just as Su Xiruo was about to turn around and avoid this place, a white silhouette suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a handsome youth, and upon closer inspection, it was Rong Yu.


    "Rong Yu, why are you ¡­" Su Xiruo was slightly surprised.


    Didn''t this little guy just get caught yesterday and brought back Phoenix Clan? How did he come out so quickly?


    "Master, someone is chasing me. Quickly save me!" Rong Yu looked to be in a panic, as he lowered his head and hid behind Su Xiruo.


    Su Xiruo glanced at the person who was about to give chase. It was likely that the little guy had sneaked out of the Phoenix Clan and caused the Patriarch of Phoenix Clan to send someone to capture him.


    This little guy really made people worry!


    "Master, they''re about to catch up. If you don''t help me, I''ll have to go back with them again." Rong Yu tugged the corner of Xi Ruo''s clothes, looking miserable.


    Su Xiruo sighed helplessly. Forget it, I''ll help him escape this calamity first. Then, I''ll pull Rong Yu''s sleeve: "Follow me."


    She pulled Rong Yu and quickly slipped into an alley beside them. Waving her sleeves, she activated Spiritual Strength and covered their Qi.


    Rong Yu watched the situation outside the alley without blinking as those people searched the streets again and again. In the end, to no avail.


    "I''ve finally gotten rid of those annoying guys." Rong Yu let out a small sigh of relief.


    "Rong Yu, this time, you escaped by yourself again, right?" Su Xiruo asked him snappily.


    Rong Yu shook his head, he then nodded his head lightly, and did not say a word, as his black eyes looked extremely aggrieved.


    "Your actions will make your uncle worried." Su Xiruo seemed to also feel a headache, "Let''s go, I''ll send you back to Phoenix Clan now."

 C241

    "No, no, no, master!" Rong Yu immediately pulled her back and pleaded pitifully, "I came specially to look for you, or at least ¡­ Let me get some fresh air outside, then we can go back? "


    It seemed that if he did not fulfill this fellow''s little wish, he would probably continue to sneak out next time.


    Therefore, Su Xiruo asked tentatively: "Is it that you have finished breathing outside, and will obediently return?"


    "Yes." Rong Yu nodded with incomparable sincerity, "Then you also have to play with me. Otherwise, if I were to breathe alone, it would be meaningless."


    Helpless, Su Xiruo could only agree. "Alright, I can accompany you to the Profound Yin Empire City to play for two days, but after two days, you should obediently return to the Phoenix Clan. In the future, don''t say anything and stealthily run out.


    She did this for Rong Yu, so it could be considered as an explanation to the Phoenix Clan Patriarch.


    "It''s only been two days." Rong Yu bit his lower lip, "Rong Yu wishes to be with Master all day."


    "If it doesn''t work, then forget it." Su Xiruo purposely went back on his words, leaving no room for negotiation at all.


    "Alright, alright, alright. I''ll do as you say." Rong Yu immediately agreed and said, "So be it for two days, then for these two days, you must properly accompany Rong Yu."


    Su Xiruo nodded lightly. "That''s only natural."


    Finished speaking, she turned around and instructed Qing Yuan: "Qing Yuan, go back to Poison Sect first, tell him that I have something to attend to and will not return for now. During the time I''m not here, Poison Sect will not receive any guests!"


    The reason she did this was also to prevent accidents from happening.


    "Yes." Qing Yuan listened carefully to every word that was said, and then rode the wind and left the place.


    "Master, you treat me so well." Rong Yu was full of joy.


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised slightly, and corrected: "Rong Yu, since you are now a Youngest Prince of Phoenix Clan, it would obviously be inappropriate for you to continue calling me master."


    "Then, what do you want me to call you?" Rong Yu pretended not to understand and asked her this.


    "Just call me by my name." Su Xiruo did not mind.


    Rong Yu was stunned for a moment, her icy lips slightly opened, and those two words came out of her mouth lightly, "Xiruo."


    He didn''t know why, but when these two words came out of his mouth, it actually gave rise to some vague feelings.


    In that moment, Su Xiruo felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Cough cough, let''s go find an inn to stay at first."


    Rong Yu happily followed behind Su Xiruo, the two of them looking like a perfect couple from afar. The man had a slender figure, and the woman was slim and well-matched, regardless of her looks or height.


    Along the way, Rong Yu was constantly curious, and as they circulated amongst the various small vendors, Su Xiruo patiently accompanied them without saying a word.


    After walking for four hours, the originally short street still hadn''t left.


    "Xiruo, this is for you." Rong Yu happily placed one of the shattered jade steps into Su Xiruo''s hair, and then revealed a satisfied smile, "As expected, my master looks good wearing anything."


    "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter after a year." Then she said, "It''s already getting late, we should go to the inn and rest."


    In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened, so Rong Yu could only agree: "Alright."


    The two of them found the nearest inn and settled down. However, as soon as they entered, they were informed by the waiter that there was only one room left.


    "The capital is holding a lantern festival tomorrow. Many people came here with great respect. Having one room left over could already be considered pretty good." The waiter looked at the two well-matched people and added, "Moreover, the two of you are about to become husband and wife. It''s not wrong for you to live in the same room!"


    Hearing that, Rong Yu''s heart shivered, he was extremely excited.


    He actually said that he and Xi Ri were husband and wife. If that was the case, then he sounded extremely happy.


    "You misunderstand." In the next second, Su Xiruo immediately interrupted the waiter.


    Although Rong Yu was happy, but seeing that his master did not like it, he immediately suppressed his smile: "Since there''s only one guest room, then forget it, let us go to another place."


    Although he liked Xiruo, deep in his heart, he was more willing to respect Xiruo''s intentions. If she was unwilling, he would absolutely not force her.


    "Forget it, it''s already so lively outside today. It''s probably the same for other inns as well." Who knew that at this time, Xi Ruo would call out to him, "Let''s rest here for a while."


    Since there was only one room left, she and Rong Yu would just quietly live in the same room.


    "But there''s only one room left." Rong Yu seemed to be afraid that she didn''t understand what was said just now, and repeated what the waiter had said just now.


    "Alright, then let''s have a room." Su Xiruo agreed indifferently.


    Thus, the two of them settled down in the guest room upstairs. Rong Yu gave him the bed and took the initiative to sleep on his concubine bed in the guest room.


    Deep in the night, when Rong Yu had already fallen asleep, Su Xiruo had already gotten up. He walked up to him, stretched out his hands to help him cover his body, and then faintly heard Rong Yu say in his sleep, "Xiruo, tomorrow ¡­ Let''s go to the lantern festival together. "


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a trace of a smile. It spread to the bottom of his heart, yet gave birth to a little bitterness.


    Su Xiruo had at least heard from the Spirit Sovereign that he suspected Profound Yin Empire s. Thus, while Rong Yu was still sound asleep, he had secretly gone to the Mercenary Guild s himself to see if he could discover something.


    Thus, Su Xiruo turned into a blur and disappeared. Borrowing the help of the Wind Control Arts, he sneaked into the Profound Yin Empire, covering up his own Spiritual Strength undulations and carefully infiltrated.


    This Mercenary Guild was not really that big, but who would have thought that even after searching through the entire Mercenary Guild, she couldn''t find any trace of President Mo Yu.


    Su Xiruo was certain that there were a lot of poisons hidden within this Medicine Pavilion.


    After not finding the Vicious Beasts and not finding anything of value, Su Xiruo left and returned to the tavern.


    As soon as Candle left the Profound Yin Empire Palace and stepped into the eastern entrance, she sensed a strong wave of Spiritual Strength approaching her from a short distance away.


    At the right time, Spirit Sovereign also planned to leave from the east gate. He personally went to check out the Profound Yin Empire, when he suddenly felt a wave of evil and strange Spiritual Strength not too far away from him.


    He quickly turned around, planning to temporarily avoid the attack. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly repelled by the palm wind in front of him, and when he slightly raised his eyes, he saw Spirit Sovereign standing right in front of him.


    Although the Men In Black covered his face and could not see his face, the Spirit Sovereign was certain that he did not know his place and was not a good person.


    "Where did this unknown person come from, to actually dare trespass into my Midland!" Spirit Sovereign''s voice was extremely cold.


    Candle''s finger bones were curled tightly, she was slightly unwilling, the black colored berserk Spiritual Strength shot towards Spirit Sovereign''s face, but Spirit Sovereign''s expression did not change, he used his backhand and pushed back his palm, sending the other party flying while spitting out blood.


    Just as he was about to give chase, the candle flame knew that he was no match for the old fellow and immediately released a Poison Miasma, disturbing the Spirit Sovereign''s line of sight.


    Waiting until the Poison Miasma had dispersed, the Spirit Sovereign snorted coldly. He did not pursue them, but instead had a bad premonition.


    That Men In Black from a moment ago did not come from a simple background, and his strength was also terrifying. The most frightening thing was that although the Spirit Sovereign clearly felt that he was a spirit beast, he was unable to discern what kind of spirit beast he was!


    Looking at the entire Orc Clan, three great god Orc Clan, there was not a spirit beast as bizarre as the Spiritual Strength. Thinking to here, the Spirit Sovereign''s face revealed a little worry.


    The number of Expert of Spirit God could be counted on one hand throughout the entire continent


    But, this Fine Star Continent had so many places without reason, even he did not know about it. It looks like he had to thoroughly investigate this matter!

 C242

    On the second night, the Mystic Moon capital''s lamps would be bustling with noise and excitement. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, dazzling to the point that one couldn''t see the end of them.


    Su Xiruo and Rong Yu travelled through the crowd, passing by each other. Even until the wee hours of the morning, the entire capital was still brightly lit and bustling with activity. When the two arrived at the riverbank, many people had their water lamps lit up.


    "Xiruo, let''s go put one on too." Rong Yu was still in high spirits as he pulled Xi Ruo''s small hand.


    In the next second, as if she had been electrocuted, Xi Ruo released his hand, and a mocking and disdainful voice rang out in her ears.


    "The Poison Sovereign is truly enjoying itself. It took me so long to get a new partner."


    Su Xiruo raised his head and looked over, to see that Xuan Qing was standing not far from her, with a face full of anger.


    It was unknown whether this water flower girl had broken off completely with the guild leader, but she had gotten a new partner so quickly.


    "Oi, don''t spout nonsense. I forbid you from slandering Xiruo!" Rong Yu frowned and retorted coldly.


    Xuan Qing glanced at Rong Yu, and snorted coldly: "Heh, I think it''s better for you to stay far away from this kind of woman with water attribute."


    "Shut up!" Rong Yu interrupted him and said, "I just like Xiruo, no matter what she is like, I like her the same. Can you control it?"


    "You ¡­"


    At this time, Su Xiruo did not get angry, but laughed, and said leisurely: "Chief Protector, you are being really lenient, the things that I have on my hands have not been resolved, right? How do you have the time to teach me a lesson? "


    She could probably guess, that Xuan Qing had probably come for the Mercenary Guild, and also, that it was Yun Qian who had possibly sent him.


    "What does it have to do with you?" Xuan Qing scoffed.


    "I just wanted to remind you that Mo Yu is not in Mercenary Guild, so you shouldn''t spend so much effort to run over to the Mercenary Guild to find someone." Su Xiruo''s tone was cold and aloof, but he was also reminding her with good intentions, "It might be better to look for another place, for example, the Imperial Palace!"


    Although this woman was a little infuriating, Xuan Qing did not miss her words.


    But on the surface, Xuan Qing still maintained a look of indifference: "Why are you telling me this?"


    Indeed, before he came to the Profound Yin Empire, the President had told him not to alert the enemy, and that it would be best if he could catch Mo Yu off guard, and that Mo Yu might not even be in the Mercenary Guild!


    "I was just casually saying that. What I should do is still up to you. Don''t believe me, a woman who broke the bridge after crossing it." Su Xiruo smiled, then threw down his words. He opened his mouth and called Rong Yu, "Rong Yu, let''s go to the water lamps."


    "Alright." Rong Yu glared at Xuan Qing, and happily followed Su Xiruo and left.


    Xuan Qing looked at Su Xiruo''s back and felt that this woman was weird, he couldn''t even tell if she was good or bad.


    "Xiruo, that guy just now was truly depressing. His original good mood was completely ruined." As he walked to the side of the water, Rong Yu still did not forget what happened.


    "Whatever, that great protector is also anxious to protect his master. I won''t bother with him anymore." Su Xiruo seemed to not care at all. He lit the water lamp in his hand, placed it into the river and deliberately changed the topic. "Come, make a wish."


    Rong Yu slightly nodded his head, closed his eyes, and silently expressed his wish in the bottom of his heart. Su Xiruo stared at the water lamp that had disappeared in the distance, lost in thought for a long time, and suddenly, his vision became a little blurry.


    Suddenly, a movement came from the water, Su Xiruo frowned, sensing that something was amiss.


    The shaking got stronger and stronger, and in the next second, a water monster suddenly came out from the river, with a Spiritual Strength of Yin and Evil, it spat out a flood and instantly drowned countless people on the shore.


    Suddenly, screams of panic could be heard incessantly. The crowd that was passing by were fleeing in all directions. The originally warm lantern festival had turned bloody and cruel in an instant.


    "There''s actually a Vicious Beasts here." Su Xiruo''s finger bones tightened into a ball as doubts arose in his heart.


    "Mermaid race." Rong Yu muttered to himself, and immediately recognized that the Vicious Beasts should have come from the Mermaid s.


    Seeing the river of blood flowing, Rong Yu and Xiruo were just about to attack when a long sword suddenly cut through the air. The fierce Sword Qi imprisoned the Vicious Beasts and then, it pierced through their hearts and killed the Vicious Beasts.


    "It''s General Qingmo!"


    "The imperial palace''s army is coming ¡­"


    Although he did not understand who had acted, but hearing the intermittent discussions from the crowd, Su Xiruo vaguely knew that it was the people from the imperial government who had acted to suppress them.


    He saw a black-clothed general with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes appear by the river bank. He put away the weapon that had just killed the Vicious Beasts, and the surrounding commoners all knelt down to kowtow and thank him. They were all probably frightened.


    "Everyone, do not panic. This Vicious Beasts''s appearance is truly strange. It''s a good thing that this general is patrolling here today." "It''s already settled. This general will bring the Vicious Beasts''s corpse back to report to His Majesty!"


    Finished speaking, Qingmo raised his hand and released the Spiritual Strength, collecting the Vicious Beasts''s corpse into his own Storage Ring and disappearing from everyone''s line of sight.


    Instantly, the crowd started cheering and cheering. They were probably rejoicing that General Qing Mo made his move, otherwise, blood would probably flow like a river tonight.


    Su Xiruo scoffed, but it seemed like he could see through the little trick they had just played. "Heh, this self-directed play by the imperial government is really exciting!"


    "Xiruo, are you saying ¡­ Was this designed by the imperial government? " Rong Yu did not quite understand what she meant.


    "That''s right."


    Su Xiruo did not explain much, but he was confident that all of this was planned by the emperor himself.


    That Mermaid just now was just a Six Rank Spiritual Beast. The emperor had intentionally made the Profound Yin Empire appear as well, pretending that he was also a victim so that the other three empires would no longer be suspicious.


    Furthermore, the imperial government had personally taken action to suppress the Vicious Beasts. This had stabilized the hearts of the people.


    But regarding this matter, Su Xiruo did not have the time to worry about it. Turning his head, he said to Rong Yu: "The two agreed days are already over, should you obediently let me send you back to the Phoenix Clan?"


    Rong Yu curled his lips. It was obvious that he was unwilling, as he looked at Su Xiruo pitifully. "Xiruo, I haven''t had enough fun in the capital yet.


    "Rong Yu, if you don''t keep your promise, next time, I won''t bring you out." Su Xiruo pretended to threaten him, probably thinking, Phoenix Clan Clan Master, he must be anxious and anxious!


    "No, no, no!" Rong Yu immediately shook his head.


    "Then keep your promise and go back to the Phoenix Clan. I''ll bring you out again after a few days." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth raised slightly, and once again, changed the topic.


    Rong Yu lowered his head and reluctantly agreed. "Alright then."


    Then, he grabbed Su Xiruo''s arm. "Then, come with me.


    "Alright, then I''ll pay a visit to the Phoenix Clan Clan Patriarch as well." Su Xiruo readily agreed.


    Phoenix Clan realm.


    Rong Mo was pacing inside the great hall, and his anxious mood seemed as if he was about to collapse.


    A disciple came in, and Rong Mo asked coldly: "Is there still no trace of the Youngest Prince?"


    "Reporting to clan leader, no!"


    Rong Mo curled his fingers tightly: "Go look again! What a group of trash, we can''t even find a single Little Phoenix! "


    "Yes sir!" Realizing that the Patriarch was truly angry, that disciple did not dare to breathe loudly and hurriedly turned around to leave.


    Just then, another disciple came in, but before he could speak, Rong Mo had already lost his patience: "This sovereign asked you to find His Highness, if you failed to find him, stop bothering this sovereign!"


    "Patriarch." The disciple trembled as he said, "Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has come to pay you a visit, you ¡­ Do you want to see it? "


    "What?" That little clan leader ¡­ have you personally come to visit the Phoenix Clan? " Rong Mo regained his senses, as though he did not know what to do, "Hurry and invite them!"


    He had originally planned to bring Rong Yu to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and pay a visit to the little patriarch. It was because Rong Yu had gone missing for two or three days before he was able to delay the matter.


    He did not expect that the little Patriarch would personally pay a visit to his Phoenix Clan. It could be said that he was very sincere, and since Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had taken the initiative to visit, he definitely could not treat Yun Che unfairly.

 C243

    Rong Mo did not dare delay any further, and rushed to the palace to see the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    Stepping into the palace, all of the disciples bowed their heads and saluted Rong Mo: "Greetings, Clan Leader!"


    Rong Mo only saw a man in white with delicate features sitting inside the palace. He had delicate eyebrows and starry eyes, like a bright moon, his thin lips were parted, and he was casually sipping the tea in his hand.


    From the looks of it, he did not look like an experienced Fox-Race Patriarch at all, but more like a handsome man beside him.


    But despite that, Rong Mo still did not dare to underestimate him, his tone was extremely polite and took the initiative to speak: "I am Rong Mo, and am sorry for underestimating you, please forgive me."


    Yun Qian carelessly glanced back as he slowly stood up and replied, "There is no need to be courteous clan leader. In terms of seniority, Yun Qian would like to address the clan leader as uncle-master, and uncle-master should call him by his name."


    Rong Mo gave him a quick glance. Even though he was young, his every word and action was extremely steady, and his speech was neither panicked nor impatient. The moment he opened his mouth, he gave off the demeanor of a patriarch.


    Rong Mo laughed, and then stopped being courteous, "Nephew Yun Qian, since you have just ascended to the throne, this old man should go and congratulate you. If not for the matter of your unfilial son being delayed, I would have to ask you to come over personally, I am truly sorry!"


    "Patriarch, there''s no need to be so polite. We have been friends for generations, so there''s no need to pay attention to these fake etiquette anymore." "I have come today on behalf of my Royal Mother, to greet the Patriarch. In the future, if there is anything that my Royal Mother needs, please do not hesitate to tell my Patriarch about it, just like when my Royal Mother is in power."


    Yun Qian expressed his stance and was willing to extend his friendship with Phoenix Clan for many years, to continue to be on good terms with him!


    In the past few years, Nine-Tailed Fox and the two great Divine Phoenix Orc Clan had become interdependent and powerful alliances. There had never been any major conflicts, and no other force would dare to shake the two great Divine Phoenix Orc Clan.


    Following that, Yun Qian added, "By the way, Yun Qian wants to discuss with Uncle Shi about the disturbance between the phoenix and Fox Clan, and between the snake race and Bird Clan."


    Actually, this was Yun Qian''s main goal for today. He was only casually bringing it up to attract Rong Mo''s attention.


    Before this, they had been in peace, attaching themselves to the Orc Clan of the two great gods. But in recent years, ever since Yun Lichen had begun to slowly take over the reins of power, the relationship between the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and them had gradually drifted away.


    As a result, the Naga Tribe and Bird Clan began to stir up trouble secretly, fending them off, and becoming restless. But because this place was located in the middle of the Orc Clan of the two Gods, even if Rong Mo wanted to settle this issue, he was afraid that he would offend the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.


    Thus, this sort of matter was the best choice for the two tribes to discuss and come to a conclusion.


    Now that Yun Qian had taken the initiative to suggest the proposal, it was naturally what Rong Mo was most willing to hear. "Nephew Yun Qian, since that''s the case, this old man shall order some people to set a feast and discuss this matter slowly with you."


    Then, he turned around and ordered, "Someone, prepare for the feast!"


    At the same time, Xi Ruo followed Rong Yu and arrived at the Phoenix Clan. Along the way, Rong Yu seemed to have something to say to Xi Ruo, and Xi Ruo only listened from the side, occasionally responding.


    "Xiruo, I''ll first take you on a tour around this Phoenix Clan." Rong Yu looked to be in high spirits.


    "I think you should go greet your uncle." Xi Ruo softly warned, "If you admit your wrongs with a good attitude, you might be able to experience less physical pain."


    Rong Yu sighed helplessly: "Alright then."


    He would have to face it eventually, so he decided to apologize to his uncle.


    Just as the two approached the palace, Xi Ruo accidentally raised her eyes and saw Rong Mo walking out. Behind him, stood a man dressed in white, whose mind instantly went blank, as if his vision had frozen.


    Clouds Shallow...


    Was it really him?


    Seeing that the two were about to come over, Su Xiruo panicked and quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared beside Rong Yu.


    After Xi Ruo flashed her body behind a huge pillar of lacquer in the distance, she appeared. In an instant, she felt that her fingerbone was trembling a bit.


    Her heart had clearly been calm for a long time, but when she saw him, it was as if all her calmness had vanished. She really did not know how she was supposed to face Yun Qian.


    She turned around and secretly glanced in the direction of Phoenix Hall, but she still couldn''t suppress the fluctuations of her emotions.


    He had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few months. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, giving off a free from dust, but it was even colder than before.


    Nodding her head, Xixi tightly clenched her fingernails, as if her nails were about to sink into her flesh. Guilt and uneasiness immediately surged up within her heart.


    "Xiruo." Seeing that Xi Ruo had disappeared, Rong Yu felt that it was a little strange. Just as he wanted to look for her, he met his uncle and immediately bowed, with a guilty look on his face, "Uncle ¡­"


    "Unfilial son, you are getting more and more outrageous." Rong Mo was immediately incensed, "You actually knew to come back! Do you know how long this noble one has been searching for you? "


    Rong Yu immediately expressed his weakness: "Uncle, I am just ¡­. Did he come back? You just went out to get some fresh air. You know that Phoenix Clan is really too boring. "


    "Bastard, it''s not proper for you to be like this. Quickly get up and greet Fox Emperor!" Rong Mo berated coldly.


    Seeing the situation, Rong Yu weakly raised his head and looked Yun Qian in the eye. In the next second, both of them revealed a look of astonishment.


    How could it be him, Mu Jin ¡­ He didn''t expect ¡­ Not only was he still alive, he was an orphan that Phoenix Clan had just found?


    "It''s you!" Rong Yu blurted out in surprise.


    "Why? Do you two know each other?" Seeing the situation, Rong Mo asked in surprise.


    "I don''t know him." Yun Qian and Rong Yu uttered these three words at almost the same time.


    Rong Mo did not care too much about it, "Yun Qian, this is my nephew, Rong Yu, Rong Yu, he has never seen Fox Emperor before!"


    Rong Yu sighed helplessly, and lowered his body: "Greetings, Fox Emperor."


    Rong Mo then continued to speak: "Yun Qian, this nephew of mine is not sensible, I have truly embarrassed myself."


    "It''s fine."


    Rong Mo glanced at Rong Yu, and then asked coldly: "Why did you suddenly appear outside of the imperial palace? This noble one is also surprised, you actually knew that you had returned."


    Rong Yu lowered his head, and with extreme helplessness, curled his lips and said: "I also want to stay for a few more days. It''s Xiruo, she wanted me to come back earlier, so I could only ¡­ "He''s back today."


    "Poison Sovereign... Where is she? " Rong Mo took the opportunity to ask.


    Rong Yu was also at a loss. Looking around, he did not see anything, "I''m also curious, why did it disappear when you were clearly by my side just now?"


    That familiar yet strange name was like a dagger, inadvertently slicing open Yun Qian''s heart, complicated emotions intertwined into a ball, his graceful brows slightly raised, carefully observing everything, suddenly feeling the familiar Spiritual Strength''s ripple from behind the pillar of lacquer not far away.


    Although he did not see her, Yun Qian more or less understood that the woman was here!


    But now, Mu Jin had not died, and was still together with her safe and sound.


    Yun Qian Bing''s lips curled up slightly as she let out a mocking smile. She then said, "There must be something shameful that I''m afraid of. I just don''t dare to show my face."


    That tone was extremely cold. He even purposely raised his voice a bit. Even Xiruo, who was hiding not too far away, could vaguely hear it.


    Her fingers were curled tight, and her head was slightly lowered. Her eyes were slightly red, but she remained calm.


    Just as Yun Qian had said, she did not dare to show her face. She did not dare to let him know that she was here, nor did she know how to face him.


    "Hey, how can you say that?" On the other hand, Rong Yu was dissatisfied after hearing his words.


    "Rong Yu, don''t be rude!" Rong Mo saw the situation, and immediately cut him off.


    Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, and his tone carried slight ridicule: "Youngest Prince is rather protective of that woman."

 C244

    "Of course!" Rong Yu admitted it just like that, although he was usually dishonest and not too calm, once the topic was brought up, even if it was Yun Qian, he would not show any weakness, "If Xi''er is my fiancee in the future, whoever makes her suffer, I will return the favor ten or a hundred times for her!"


    Rong Mo didn''t understand the situation, and naturally didn''t know why Rong Yu said those words. He didn''t notice Yun Shuang''s dark expression in the slightest, and continued to ask without batting an eyelid: "These few days, were you with Poison Sovereign?"


    "Yeah." Rong Yu did not hide anything, "Xi Ruo and I went to a lantern festival in the Profound Yin Capital, it was very lively. I never knew that there was such an interesting place in the mortal world ¡­"


    Rong Yu''s words, word by word fell upon Yun Qian''s heart, like sharp blades, Yun Qian''s face immediately darkened.


    Ah, to have started having fun with the newlyweds so quickly, surely she had already completely forgotten about him in her heart!


    "Enough!" In time, Yun Qian interrupted him coldly.


    Hearing the slightly angry voice, Rong Mo revealed a face of astonishment. He thought that he had done something wrong, "Yun Qian, what''s wrong?"


    Why is the little patriarch so unsettled, and unsettled, only to hear Rong Yu say a few unimportant words, and then he became angry for no reason?


    Yun Qian did his best to calm himself down, and said coldly: "There''s still an urgent matter within the clan. We can discuss the matter of the snake clan''s Bird Clan another day. Goodbye."


    He never wanted to hear or learn anything about that woman.


    He had thought that time could make him forget about it, but after the past few months, when he heard this name again, his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. It was extremely painful!


    After saying that, Yun Qian turned into a blur and disappeared from their sight.


    "Yun Qian, Yun Qian!" No matter how Rong Mo shouted, the afterimage had already disappeared. Immediately, Rong Mo became nervous in his heart, "This is bad, this kid can''t be angry, right?"


    He wasn''t even willing to discuss the Naga Tribe''s Bird Clan with him!


    Although he didn''t know why Yun Qian was so angry, Rong Mo still pushed all his anger onto Rong Yu. "It''s all your fault, unfilial son.


    "I... I didn''t say anything? That guy is a little too narrow-minded. " Rong Yu was also confused, as if he had not realized what he had done wrong.


    "Hai." Rong Mo could not help but shake his head, as if he was talking to himself, and sighed. "It looks like this little clan leader is still too young, and is too impulsive in everything he does, making it difficult for the weather to develop!"


    After Yun Qian left, she also left as if she had lost her soul. Everything that she had just experienced was still fresh in her mind.


    It seemed like the current Yun Qian already hated him to the bones, and did not want to see him anymore.


    However, she immediately comforted herself, it was useless to be in such a miserable state. She might as well gather the remaining three herbs and refine the antidote, which could be considered as her compensation to Yun Qian!


    So, according to her original plan, she went toward the Dragon Seal Empire to get the Nine Star Grass.


    It was recorded on the Poison Book that the Nine Star Grass was personally protected by a Rank 8 Spirit Beast, a Rank 8 Spirit Beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human''s Spirit God. As for the Five-star Flaming Tiger, it was equivalent to the strength of their Spirit God.


    But no matter what, she was planning to fight to the death today!


    According to the records of the Poison Book, the Five-star Flaming Tiger was extremely fond of a smell called the Firefly Moon Flower.


    The sky also became darker and darker, all directions were so silent that it was eerie. Xi Ruo had a premonition in her heart that she was about to get close to the Five-star Flaming Tiger!


    The surrounding pressure became lower and lower. The scorching hot Spiritual Strength was constantly approaching her and the fierce wind was blowing towards her face.


    Su Xiruo''s reaction was extremely fast, he dodged to the side to avoid the sneak attack, his palm turned into ice and frost, enveloping the Five-star Flaming Tiger''s entire body, and in the next second, the ice and snow shattered, and the Five-star Flaming Tiger flew out.


    Following that, Xiruo lightly tapped her toes on the ground and fought with the Five-star Flaming Tiger in the air for a long time. One of the Five-star Flaming Tiger''s attacks was extremely ferocious, and Xiruo only had the chance to dodge.


    The Spirit Beast Mountain Range, circle after circle of Spiritual Strength vibrated, razing the surrounding mountains to the ground. Not a single blade of grass grew, the sky suddenly changed, and thunder rain suddenly appeared, it was extremely gloomy and cold!


    Su Xiruo was pushed back by the Five-star Flaming Tiger, her eyebrows knitted together, and the Spiritual Strength in her palm condensed frantically. Her left hand was covered in extremely cold ice and frost, while her right hand was burning with extremely hot flames.


    In these past few months, she gradually discovered that her body now had an additional kind of Yin Attribute. Furthermore, she could perfectly fuse the two attributes, erupting with an enormous amount of energy.


    She named this Spiritual Skill as the Extreme Wild Seal. Although she had never seen what the Divine Ranked Spiritual Skill looked like, this Extreme Wild Seal could make even people''s Spirit God tremble in fear!


    The Extreme Wild Seal quickly approached its face. The Five-star Flaming Tiger could not dodge in time, and a corner of its head was snapped off by the Extreme Wild Seal!


    Instantly, the Five-star Flaming Tiger seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. Its pure white fur fluttered in the wind, and with a roar of anger, that strong force spread throughout the entire Spirit Beast Mountain Range. No matter how Xi Ruo tried to dodge, she could not avoid the force, and was sent flying by the Spiritual Strength.


    Her petite body was suddenly pushed into a moist cave by the berserk whistling sound. In the next second, the Five-star Flaming Tiger turned into Barrier and completely sealed off the cave, falling asleep.


    Su Xiruo slowly got up from the ground, and couldn''t help but be a little astonished when he saw the four tightly packed Barrier.


    So, was he trapped in a cave?


    She still could not believe it, and flung out her palm, clashing with the Barrier at the cave entrance. With a loud bang, a loud sound came out, but the Barrier did not move at all.


    It''s over, I''m really trapped in this cave by the Five-star Flaming Tiger. This Barrier is the embodiment of a Five-star Flaming Tiger, and the Nine Star Grass is in the mouth of the Five-star Flaming Tiger.


    Therefore, if he did not break through the Barrier, he was afraid that he would not be able to obtain the Nine Star Grass.


    Thinking up to here, Xi Ruo took out her Can Meng and tried many times, but still could not open the Barrier.


    "Idiot, don''t try again!" Suddenly, a cold male voice entered his ears.


    Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows and instantly raised her guard. With a raise of her hand, a wisp of ghost flame appeared on her fingertip before she could barely see the situation inside the pitch-black cave.


    Not far behind him, there was a Men In Black wearing a silver white mask. He had an indifferent and cold aura around him, it was Candle.


    "Were you talking just now?" Su Xiruo asked coldly.


    "That''s right." "That Barrier was created by the illusion of a Five-star Flaming Tiger. You can''t open it, and now that it is in slumber, it will take at least a year to wake up. You silly woman, you have tied yourself up and caused the Monarch to be trapped with you for a year!"


    Hearing his extremely arrogant tone, Su Xiruo was instantly displeased, and went forward to slap him.


    "You ¡­"


    This was the first time he had been slapped, and it was also the first time he had been slapped by a reckless woman.


    Suddenly, the flame of the candle burned with fury. The violent Spiritual Strength flew out, but was instantly suppressed by Xiruo''s Spiritual Skill, knocked back several meters by the dense white Spiritual Strength, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.


    When he looked up, the Can Meng was already on his neck, carrying a slightly cold aura.


    In a split-second, Candle was stunned, her anger flaring up, "You ¡­ Do you know that you are courting death? "


    Damn it, if it wasn''t for that old man Spirit Sovereign, he wouldn''t have been so heavily injured, and he wouldn''t have been able to defeat this kind of girl!

 C245

    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, and the sharp Can Meng pointed at his neck, saying coldly: "I only know that if you continue to be rude, you''re going to die right now!"


    That clear and cold voice didn''t sound like it came from a seventeen year old girl at all.


    Candle''s finger bones were tightly curled up, she was extremely unwilling, but he could sense that the woman in front of him, was also someone with the strength of Spirit God. Although she was not as strong as him, he was still severely injured, which was why he could not beat her for now!


    "You ¡­ Don''t kill me. " In the end, Candle''s tone softened.


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile: "Killing you wouldn''t benefit me too much, it''s just that you just provoked me a moment ago, am I... Should I cut off your tongue? "


    With that said, Su Xiruo was about to cut his tongue.


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t, don''t ¡­" Candle quickly hid herself a little. This was the first time she was defeated by a woman, and it was obvious that she was unwilling to give up, "Just now, Monarch spoke rudely, Monarch ¡­ I''ll apologize. "


    "Is this the attitude of you apologizing?" But Su Xiruo refused to let him go.


    Candle''s fingers were curled up tightly as she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She said in a pleasant tone, "Taking advantage of the situation is not something a gentleman should do. Woman, even if you kill me now, what kind of ability would you have?"


    Instantly, Su Xiruo felt his words were a little laughable. She smiled and said: "I am not a gentleman, if you do not sincerely apologize to me today, I will kill you. What can I do?"


    Actually, if Xixi said those words, it was only to tease that guy. In that instant of exchanging blows, she could feel that guy was extremely powerful. If she wasn''t injured, she wouldn''t even be able to get near him.


    Thus, she could still bully this fellow while he was heavily injured. Otherwise, if he recovered, wouldn''t he kill her?


    "Monarch has never seen such an unreasonable woman!" Candle didn''t know how to respond to her words.


    "What can you do to me?" Su Xiruo disapproved and was about to cut his tongue, but Zhu Yan immediately gave in.


    "Stop..." You, what exactly do you want, speak! " Zhu Yan could only give her a chance to make a condition with him.


    Only then did Su Xiruo retract the Can Meng slightly, and asked leisurely: "Do you know how to wake up the Five-star Flaming Tiger and break this Barrier?"


    "Of course I do."


    Immediately, Su Xiruo acted as if he had seen hope, and closely questioned: "Say it, if you say it, I''ll spare your life!"


    "It''s the Monarch." He only replied with these four words, unwilling to do so.


    "You?" Su Xiruo still did not understand what he meant.


    Candle nodded lightly, her tone was full of pride: "As long as Monarch recovers from her injuries, what can a mere Five-star Flaming Tiger do?"


    His meaning was simple, if he let Su Xiruo help him recover from his injuries, he could help Su Xiruo defeat the Five-star Flaming Tiger!


    "That''s true." Su Xiruo still could not quite believe it.


    "Monarch''s life is in your hands, it''s up to you whether you want to believe it or not!"


    "Alright, then I''ll trust you this once." Su Xiruo agreed.


    In any case, she couldn''t think of any good methods, the strength of this Five-star Flaming Tiger was similar to a human''s Four-star, and even if she went all out, she might not be able to subdue it.


    He might as well have this fellow work for him, and it wouldn''t take much for him to do so.


    However, if this fellow regains his strength and goes back on his word, then he won''t be able to make up for the losses.


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo took out a pill from the Storage Ring, and placed it next to Candle''s mouth: "Take this Pills."


    "What is this?" Candle''s vigilance was quite high.


    "Poison." Su Xiruo did not try to cover it up.


    In the next second, Candle''s anger could no longer be concealed, and she berated: "Truly a bold woman, daring to openly feed poison to Monarch!"


    Not only did she feed him poison, she even boasted shamelessly in front of him. Was this woman truly looking down on him?


    Su Xiruo''s expression did not change: "This is also for my own good, if I heal the injuries on your body, even if you turn hostile, what if you kill me?"


    Giving him some poison could be considered as giving him a trump card.


    "Monarch has never been one to go back on his words!" Candle wished that she could slap this woman, "You are acting like a petty person, acting like a monarch!"


    "Cut the crap." Su Xiruo raised her eyebrows and interrupted him, "Either obediently swallow the poison first, and I will treat your injuries, or, I will kill you right now!"


    Candle had never been angry before, but she was still angry at a woman, but there was nothing he could do, if he did not listen, then he would die. Thus, he could only obediently open his mouth and swallow the poison.


    "That''s more like it." Seeing him swallow the poison without saying a word, Su Xiruo revealed a satisfied smile.


    Candle snorted coldly, thinking to herself, don''t let him find a chance, otherwise, he would definitely kill this damnable woman!


    "Now, you can treat Monarch''s injuries, right?" Candle asked her snappily.


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded her head, "Mn, if that''s the case, then you should take off your clothes!"


    "Woman, do you want to die?" In that instant, Candle''s emotions exploded, thinking that not only was this woman a scoundrel, she even dared to tease him like this.


    What kind of woman could casually tease him, Candle?


    "I think you''re thinking too much." Su Xiruo reached out and patted his head, "If you don''t take your clothes off, how can I bandage your wounds?"


    What was this man thinking? Did he really think that he would be interested in him?


    Hearing this, Candle''s emotions calmed down a little. She unwillingly took off her shirt, revealing her perfect figure. Her wheat colored skin was extremely firm, but it was completely destroyed by a black green palm print. There were also some densely packed scars on her skin.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo was surprised, seeing the palm print, he felt a sense of familiarity.


    This palm imprint ¡­ Isn''t that the Spiritual Skill of the Spirit Sovereign? This guy, what has he done with the Spirit Sovereign?


    "Woman, if you continue to stare at Monarch like this, Monarch will definitely dig out your eyes!" Candle saw that she was staring at her own skin and actually felt uncomfortable. She shouted in rage.


    "Who cares about you?" Su Xiruo rolled his eyes as he muttered to himself, "What a conceited person."


    However, towards the doubt just now, Su Xiruo did not say it out loud. Most likely, he felt that it was not appropriate to bring it up now.


    Thus, Su Xiruo fished out the Healing Drug s from the Storage Ring s and casually poured them on Candle''s wound. He extended his head and placed it on his chest, and the thick and warm Spiritual Strength entered Zhu Yan''s body.


    "What are you doing?" He had never been in such close contact with a woman before, so he was a little flustered. Being touched by her, he felt like he was electrocuted, and his heart was flustered and flustered.


    "I''ll treat your wounds." Su Xiruo replied unhappily.


    In the next second, Zhu Yan felt that his internal injuries had healed quite a bit. He could not help but lower his head and look at her somewhat serious expression. That appearance was actually very familiar to him.


    "Xuan Er!"


    An indescribable throbbing sensation rose from within his heart. Candle immediately embraced Xiruo into his embrace, as if she had seen an important person.


    Suddenly, Xixi Ruo''s mind went blank. She pushed away this guy who was taking advantage of the opportunity and coldly cursed, "Shameless bastard!"


    Zhu Yan was pushed away by her and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He realized that he had recognized the wrong person, and said coldly: "I just mistook you for the wrong person. You woman, how can you turn hostile so easily?"


    It was not Xuan Er. Xuan Er had already died many years ago, so he should accept this fact.


    "Is your head broken? Who would be happy if they took advantage of you?" Su Xiruo cursed without mercy.


    This guy, he is truly shameless. Could it be that after I got wiped clean by him, he actually wants to smile at me?


    Seeing that Zhu Yan did not say anything, Su Xiruo threw the Healing Drug in his hands to him and said coldly: "You do it yourself."

 C246

    Although there were spies at the border but they were much less than here. Most of the spies could stay outside the palace if they wanted to go into seclusion. There were at most four or five guards outside the palace.


    Since he was going into closed door cultivation, he could make an excuse that he did not see anyone. At that time, Nan Ge would be able to cover it up a little.


    "But ¡­" Nan Ge was still a little worried, "Every time we go to the border, there will be a Heavenly Ranked Physician, and he is always one of my trusted aides. Even if my High Lord can hide his fake injuries from me, it won''t be able to hide from the doctors."


    Pausing for a moment, Nan Ge then continued: "Furthermore, that Vicious Beasts does not have much Seventh Rank, how can it make Fox Queen believe that it could injure you?"


    Forget about Seventh Rank spirit beasts, even the Guardian Beasts and Five-star Flaming Tiger s wouldn''t be able to harm High Lord, right?


    "So, in order to hide it from the doctor, I can only pretend to be doing it. I can only let the Seventh Rank spirit beast bite a few times." "When the time comes, you can tell Fox Queen that this sovereign''s eyes have an illness that will cause me to be accidentally injured by the Seventh Rank Spirit Beast."


    This reason sounded a bit far-fetched, but he could still make people believe in him.


    This time, he had to go to the Profound Yin Empire. After all, the two hidden spies he had placed beside Mo Yu all belonged to him, and they worked together from the inside out. They would definitely be able to capture Mo Yu, but before he went, the two hidden spies could not be revealed in front of Mo Yu.


    Thus, he had to hurry there as fast as possible.


    "This... This is too risky. " Nan Ge bit his lower lip, feeling a bit worried.


    "There''s no other way. This sovereign has urgent matters to attend to in the Humans." Yun Qian continued to instruct, as if he could not wait any longer, "After a while, let''s head to the border!"


    "But, those Vicious Beasts may not appear today." Nan Ge didn''t know what to do for a moment.


    Yun Qian, however, did not mind at all. "If they don''t come out, this sovereign will lure them out!"


    Nan Ge let out a small sigh. It seemed that High Lord was serious this time, although she was curious as to why High Lord wanted to go to the Humans, she did not dare to ask too much.


    Poison Sect, Tempest Pavilion.


    Su Xiruo casually sat on the seat of honor, playing with the Profound Ice Stone that he had just plundered, and was in a good mood immediately.


    For some reason, when she thought of Yun Qian''s defeated appearance, she felt exceptionally happy.


    The only medicine left to cure the poison was the missing Herba Phellodendri. It was not even recorded on the Poison Book itself, so where could she get the whereabouts of the Herba Phellodendri?


    Just as he was thinking, he heard Han Ye''s voice from outside: "High Lord, can I come in?"


    Su Xiruo withdrew his Profound Ice Stone and said indifferently: "Come in."


    With the High Lord''s permission, Han Ye gently pushed open the door and entered the room, "High Lord, a new disciple from the Five Poisons Pavilion has arrived."


    "Didn''t I already say that it''s good that you''re in charge of this matter? For a new disciple to come, do you also want to report this to me?" Su Xiruo said in a casual tone, he did not mind at all.


    "This disciple is a bit special." Han Ye then explained, "He said that he was an old acquaintance of yours, and this subordinate has secretly probed, but he''s actually a Spirit Sovereign."


    "Spirit Sovereign ¡­" Her old acquaintances were probably also people from Mercenary Academy. Thinking about it, Su Xiruo casually asked, "Where is he?"


    Han Ye slightly nodded his head, "Wait outside the door. As long as High Lord gives the order, this subordinate will let him come in to meet you!"


    "Let him in." Su Xiruo was curious, just which old acquaintance had come to rely on its Poison Sect?


    "Yes." So Han Ye went out and said to the person outside, "Go in, High Lord is waiting for you."


    Su Xiruo lazily raised his head and casually glanced at the person who entered the room. Seeing that familiar face, he could not help but be surprised: "Senior Brother Long."


    Su Xiruo never thought that it would actually be him!


    The one who had come was Long Mochen, the former student of Mercenary Academy, and also the strongest student in the academy when Su Xiruo was at Mercenary Academy.


    Su Xi remembered that a year and a half ago, Long Mo Chen was only a six star Spirit Lord at the Mercenary Academy. Now, he was a Spiritual Saint.


    She tested the waters for a bit and discovered that not only had this guy''s Spiritual Strength increased by a lot, his Toxicology had also become much stronger.


    A year and a half ago, Long Mochen was already a low-level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master, but now he should already be a high-level Heavenly Ranked Poison Master!


    "Poison Sovereign, long time no see." Long Mochen''s attitude could be considered to be more respectful.


    Previously, during the Mercenary Academy competition, he had lost to Su Xiruo who was lower ranked than him.


    After Su Xiruo left, in the entire academy, he could not find a single decent opponent, and there was no point even after a long time. Thus, half a year after Su Xiruo left, he graduated from Mercenary Academy, and left that place from then onwards.


    "Did you come here today to join our Five Poisons Pavilion?" Su Xiruo asked tentatively, thinking, it might not be that simple.


    "I want to acknowledge you as my master." Long Mochen blurted out, not concealing his intentions.


    Su Xiruo could not help but chuckle. "Take me as your master? Heh, not everyone can take me as their master. "


    This fellow was already so confident that he would accept him personally?


    Long Mochen said with a determined tone, "After I left the Mercenary Academy, I sought you out for an entire year. Later on, I heard that you were already a Poison Sovereign.


    Su Xiruo gave a noncommittal smile: "Why are you so sure that my Toxicology can definitely teach you something?"


    "Since you were able to defeat me a year and a half ago, whether it be in terms of strength or Toxicology, you should be above me." Long Mochen''s attitude could be considered rather humble, after that, he directly knelt in front of Su Xiruo, "If Poison Sovereign is willing to accept you, Sir, you are willing to enter Poison Sect, and will not change for the rest of your life!"


    Su Xiruo was shocked by his reaction and she could not help but cough awkwardly. "I say, Senior Brother Long, you''re pretty good at Mercenary Academy, why do you need to come here?"


    "I am already unable to find an opponent for Mercenary Academy, and this is not my next life''s goal." Long Mochen''s attitude was firm, "Furthermore, the Poison Sect has changed since long ago. I am willing to put down my identity as a mercenary and enter the Poison Sect!"


    Su Xiruo let out a light sigh, "If it was just a temporary whim ¡­"


    "No." Long Mochen interrupted her, "I am not doing this on a whim, if Poison Sovereign does not trust me, then do not hesitate to use the parasite on me, if I have betrayed you, I am willing to die."


    Su Xiruo could not help but hesitate, he thought, to think that there would be someone who took the initiative to request for him to be poisoned, such a ruthless person.


    Although the Poison Sect from before were like fire and water, Jiang Lingye had already died a long time ago, and the relationship between his current Poison Sect and the Mercenary Academy had long since eased up.


    This guy, no matter what, was still a Spirit Sovereign, it wasn''t really a loss to accept a Spirit Sovereign into his Poison Sect!


    However, Su Xiruo still had to intentionally keep them in suspense. "This sovereign can promise you that we can enter the Poison Sect."


    Hearing that, Long Mochen''s heart was immediately filled with joy, and he immediately expressed his thanks: "Thank you, High Lord!"


    "Don''t be in such a hurry to thank this sovereign." Su Xiruo interrupted him and changed the subject, "Although I permit you to enter Poison Sect, you will still have to pass the test if you want me to accept you as my disciple."


    Long Mochen did not take the word "test" to heart. In his heart, he actually liked this kind of extremely challenging thing more.


    "Ahem, this sovereign has not made up his mind yet." Su Xiruo said as he took out a prescription from his sleeve, "This Desolate Fruit is a Sixth Rank poison, this sovereign will give you some time, wait till you refine the Desolate Fruit first, then you can see me."


    She actually wanted to first probe just what level Long Mochen''s current Toxicology was.

 C247

    "No Desolate Fruit." Long Mochen looked at the prescription, and seemed to think that it was not difficult at all, "Heh, it isn''t that difficult a matter."


    "This sovereign will give you one and a half months ¡­"


    "Not two months, twenty days is enough." Long Mochen interrupted her words as if he was very confident.


    He was now a middle stage Heavenly Ranked Poison Master, so refining a Sixth Rank poison like that was not a problem at all.


    Isn''t this girl underestimating him a bit too much? If his Toxicology had improved a little, he would have been able to refine a Seventh Rank poison.


    "Fine, this sovereign will give you twenty days." Su Xiruo rather liked his confidence, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go now."


    "Yes."


    Long Mochen picked up the prescription, and just as he turned around, he was stopped by Su Xiruo: "Wait."


    Long Mochen turned around again and asked: "Do you have any other orders, Poison Sovereign?"


    "Before, when I was at the Mercenary Academy, I heard that Senior Brother Long was proficient in tens of thousands of medicinal ingredients." Su Xiruo said indifferently.


    "High Lord is too kind, Mo Chen doesn''t dare to accept." Long Mochen nodded his head slightly. He was not certain, but he did not deny it.


    Therefore, with the mindset of just giving it a try, Su Xiruo asked: "Then I also have a medicinal herb that I want to ask senior brother Long for guidance."


    "You don''t deserve to be taught, High Lord, please speak?" Long Mochen respectfully asked her.


    "Herba Phellodendri." Su Xiruo blurted out.


    Long Mochen was stunned for a moment, and was almost shocked by her words: "High Lord, that Herba Phellodendri ¡­ But the Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials! "


    He had never even seen the Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials a few times, let alone the treasures of that Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials species, the Herba Phellodendri s.


    "Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "I wonder if Senior Brother Long knows where this Herba Phellodendri came from, or where it was born from?"


    Long Mochen bit his lower lip, and could not help but say with shame: "High Lord, I am also familiar with a lot of Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials, but this Herba Phellodendri, I only know its name, and do not know where to obtain it."


    Su Xiruo let out a faint sigh. Originally, he did not hold much hope and did not continue asking, "Forget it, this sovereign was just casually asking.


    "Yes." Long Mochen did not question further, and turned to leave.


    At this time, only Su Xiruo remained in the Inner Palace, and he was lost in thought.


    It seemed that this last medicinal herb was not that easy to obtain. The most important thing was that right now, he did not even know the whereabouts of the Herba Phellodendri. Where could he go to find it?


    At this moment, she suddenly thought of something.


    Medical Sovereign was very experienced and knowledgeable, maybe, Medical Sovereign knows about the whereabouts of the Herba Phellodendri, it would be better for me to go to the Phoenix Nest Empire''s border and inquire about it!


    At the boundary between Fox Clan and demon aura, there was a sinister and cold aura, and at this place, a palace was specially built within the Fox Clan. Even though it wasn''t considered large, it was still impressive and magnificent.


    This time, Yun Qian had personally come to the Fox Clan border, followed by Nan Ye and Nan Ge. The reason was so that they could suppress the rest of the Vicious Beasts, and it would be best if they could catch a few survivors.


    Just as we settled in the palace, Nan Ye took the initiative to speak: "High Lord, that Vicious Beasts might not appear until tomorrow afternoon, so we just need to make preparations tomorrow morning."


    "Get ready tonight." Yun Qian had a worried expression, "If the Vicious Beasts suddenly appeared, I''m afraid we won''t be able to avoid it."


    Then, he turned to Nan Ge and said: "Nan Ge, send some people to investigate, you must not let your guard down!"


    "Yes." Nan Ge looked at Yun Qian thoughtfully, then turned and left.


    Nan Ye''s eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness, as if he felt that High Lord was abnormal today.


    Normally, no matter what High Lord did, he would always remain calm. He would only worry a little when his eyebrows were burning hot, why did he start to worry today?


    However, as long as he did not move an inch away from the High Lord, he would be fine. If he noticed anything strange, he would immediately tell the Empress.


    Nan Ge led dozens of Fox Clan disciples to arrive at the border region. As he used the Wind Control Arts, he secretly sprinkled the poison that the High Lord had given him in the air.


    High Lord said that as long as he sprinkled the poison at the border, in less than an hour, he would be able to attract all the Vicious Beasts nearby. This would save more time and allow him to eliminate them all in one fell swoop!


    She kept a low profile and didn''t let anyone sense anything amiss. After a thorough investigation, she said there was no problem and returned to the palace to report back.


    "High Lord, I didn''t notice anything strange." Nan Ge lowered his body slightly and bowed.


    Hearing this, Nan Ye couldn''t help but laugh: "High Lord, this subordinate said before that there won''t be any Vicious Beasts appearing tonight, we still have to wait until tomorrow!"


    Yun Qian did not say a word, and Nan Ge could not help but throw Nan Ye a supercilious look. He said: "It''s still too early to say such words, it''s still not wrong to be prepared at any time."


    "Heh." Nan Ye was still looking down on him with disdain. He probably did not believe that the Vicious Beasts could come tonight.


    However, in less than an incense''s time, a disciple came in hurriedly and said: "High Lord, Vicious Beasts ¡­ It''s starting to appear! "


    Nan Ye opened his eyes wide and his face was filled with disbelief, "This ¡­ How is that possible? "


    "Nothing is possible." Nan Ge was not in a good mood, "Let''s hurry up and go suppress the Vicious Beasts!"


    After she finished speaking, she secretly exchanged glances with Yun Qian, as if she had already made a full preparation.


    At the borders of the Fox Clan, hundreds of Vicious Beasts of all shapes and sizes swarmed over, all of them exposing their blood-red fangs, looking extremely ferocious, shaking the entire area, with a radius of five kilometers but not a single blade of grass growing, it was cold and terrifying!


    Yun Qian brought Nan Ye and agilely landed on the ground. The Fox Clan disciples and the Vicious Beasts were battling intensely, and there was no difference between them.


    Only, when the two powerful Vicious Beasts from afar whistled out, the Fox Clan disciples suffered a large number of casualties and were defeated in succession.


    "Two Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts actually appeared at once." Nan Ye slightly frowned, slightly surprised.


    He did not understand why there were so many Vicious Beasts today. One of them was a huge pile, and two Seventh Rank spirit beasts had actually appeared at the same time.


    "Still waiting to die?" At this time, Yun Qian''s cold voice came from beside Nan Ye''s ears.


    Only then did Nan Ye regain his senses, and he lowered his head: "High Lord, Nan Ge and I will take care of the one to the east, the one to the west, the Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts, we can only trouble High Lord to take care of it personally."


    If it were any other day, Yun Shuang would have captured the two Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts in an instant. However, since this fellow had taken the initiative to ask for it, it just so happened that there was less people by his side who were watching!


    In a while, when he pretended to be injured by the Vicious Beasts, he would be able to hide his weaknesses.


    "Yes." Thus, Yun Qian only responded with one word, and agreed. He brandished his blade, and with a step on the wind, the violent forest of white Sword Qi sent the Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts flying a few meters away.


    The Vicious Beasts in the shape of a qilin immediately vomited blood. Yun Qian helplessly sighed, thinking, this Vicious Beasts is really too weak.


    [If I had hit it harder, I would probably send it to the sky!]


    Thus, Yun Qian slowed down his moves by a lot, allowing the Qilin-shaped Vicious Beasts to withstand it. However, it was still being pushed back bit by bit, not giving it the chance to even get close to him.


    This fool was truly useless!


    The battle on the other side was extremely intense, because the Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts had fallen into a berserk state and its strength was much stronger than a normal Seventh Rank spirit beast. When Nan Ye and Nan Ge joined hands, they could only slightly gain the upper hand.


    Yun Qian steeled his heart, and deliberately revealed a clear opening. The Vicious Beasts took the chance and fiercely bit onto Yun Qian''s right arm, and in the next second, fresh blood flowed out.


    With a flick of his sleeve, Yun Qian repelled the Vicious Beasts with a flick of his hand. The Vicious Beasts breathed in and out of his mouth as it spat out countless ice blades, and pursued Yun Qian, causing the Sword Qi to tremble. It counterattacked with its ice blades, but it was still hit by a few, and the ice blades pierced through his chest.


    The counterattack of the ice blade had instantly pierced through the Vicious Beasts''s body. The Vicious Beasts was severely injured, and immediately lost the ability to resist.

 C248

    A dense white spirit vine formed on Yun Qian''s fingertip, firmly binding the injured Vicious Beasts.


    Following that, he casually threw the Divine Instrument in his hand out, went through the battle circle between Nan Ye and the other two, and stabbed the heart of the other Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts, who was fighting the both of them, to death!


    He had been killed in one move without any hesitation.


    In the next second, his body also fell down from the sky, with a mouthful of blood spurting out, it looked like he was also severely injured by the Vicious Beasts.


    "High Lord!" With their urgent need for help resolved, Nan Ye and Nan Ge stepped forward, "Are you injured?"


    Nan Ge gently held onto Yun Qian''s body, seeing him spurt out another mouthful of blood, he asked concernedly: "High Lord, are you alright?"


    Yun Qian nodded. His eyes were shut slightly and his weak voice plus his already pale face looked as though he was in imminent danger, "No problem ¡­" But all of a sudden, I can''t see anything anymore. "


    Nan Ge immediately turned and ordered the disciples at his side: "Men, call the doctors who are with you!"


    "Yes sir!"


    Nan Ye stood at the side and could not help but sneakily throw Yun Qian a supercilious look. He thought, this sickly guy, has died of an illness some day, he''s really unworthy to be their Patriarch!


    If the First Prince was still here, it would not be this illness''s turn to become the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Patriarch.


    But now that the First Prince was no longer here, there was no point in saying anything. The only thing he could do one day, was to avenge the First Prince!


    Fox Clan border palace.


    The white-haired doctor checked Yun Qian''s injuries carefully, Nan Ge pretended to be impatient and asked: "How are High Lord''s injuries?"


    The doctor could not help but sigh. "High Lord, you are severely injured, and your internal organs are damaged. You will probably need to rest in bed for half a month to heal!"


    Nan Ye frowned slightly, he thought, a sickly person is a sickly person, a Seventh Rank spirit beast can also injure him to such an extent!


    Yun Qian said indifferently: "Forget it, after all the Vicious Beasts s have been completely suppressed, I will temporarily stay in seclusion in this palace for a few days. After my injuries have recovered a bit, I will return to Fox Clan."


    "This old official will go and fry some medicine for High Lord right now." The doctor bowed and left.


    Yun Qian coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then told Nan Ge: "Nan Ge ¡­ Send someone to return to the Fox Clan and report the situation of this sovereign to the Royal Mother. "


    "Yes."


    Yun Qian then casually said, "Leave. This sovereign will be in seclusion for a few days to heal his wounds. No one can enter unless summoned!"


    "Then... Your subordinate is standing guard outside the door. " Nan Ye did not dare go too far, after all, he still had to watch over Yun Qian on behalf of the Empress, and said, "If High Lord has any orders, please do not hesitate to call this subordinate in!"


    "You and Nan Ge, wait outside the hall." Yun Qian didn''t reject it either, probably thinking that this fellow was truly troublesome to deal with!


    Thus, Nan Ye and Nan Ge could only go out first. When they were going out, Nan Ge sneaked a glance at Yun Qian, as if telling him that he would leave everything to me, so he could leave without having to worry.


    After the inner palace door closed, Nan Ye deliberately muttered: "Nan Ge, you''re saying ¡­ High Lord wouldn''t be pretending to be injured just to stay outside for a few more days, right? "


    "What are you talking about?" Nan Ge glared at her, "Is it possible that the doctor''s words are fake?"


    Nan Ye thought about it carefully, that doctor was someone close to Empress, there was no way he would collude with him, it seemed like, that sickly woman had been severely injured.


    "I''m just asking casually, what are you so anxious about?"


    Nan Ge scoffed, and said with disdain: "As subordinates, the less words we have, the better. The most important thing is to do our best, even if I don''t remind you about this, you should know about it, right?"


    Hearing her use such a tone to speak to him, Nan Ye was immediately unhappy in his heart: "Nan Ge, aren''t you using the fact that High Lord treats you the best, why are you being so arrogant in front of me?"


    This Nan Ge, was obviously someone close to Fox Queen previously, but in the short span of a year, he had become more and more interested in High Lord now.


    "Don''t forget, you were once a protector by the side of Empress, you better not take advantage of her!" Nan Ye reminded her coldly.


    Nan Ge did not take his words to heart and snorted: "A servant is not loyal to two masters. Since I have already followed the High Lord, I am now wholeheartedly working for the High Lord. "In terms of inside and outside, I can''t compare to you!"


    "You!" In Nan Ye''s eyes, he really wanted to give this girl a slap, but he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "Heh, good, I really want to see, what benefits can you get by following this sickly person."


    "Shut up!" Nan Ge angrily slapped him across the face, and with a pa sound, it landed on his face.


    Seeing the two protectors clench their fists like this, the disciples at the side did not dare to breathe too loudly. They wished that they could find a hole and disappear, pretending that they didn''t see anything.


    If you dare to slap Protector Nan Ye, I''m afraid only Nan Ge can do the same!


    "Nan Ge, don''t go overboard!" Scratching my red and swollen face, I felt infuriated.


    Nan Ge, on the other hand, did not think much of it.


    "Nan Ge, don''t think that I don''t dare to fight you." Nan Ye''s eyes were wide opened, and the anger in his heart, seemed to have no place to vent.


    This girl was getting more and more arrogant!


    "Alright, then you''ll have to make a move against me." However, Nan Ge did not have the slightest hint of fear, "If we disturb the High Lord later, you will have nothing better to look at!"


    Nan Ye''s face darkened, his finger bones curled up tightly, and only waved his fist in front of her eyes, but in the end, he gave up. "Nan Ge, just you wait, it''s best if I don''t get any leads on you!"


    After she finished speaking, Nan Ye walked off in another direction with a complacent smile on her face as the corners of her lips curled up slightly. As long as she saw Nan Ye''s unhappy appearance, she would be extremely happy!


    Although the soundproofing of the hall door was very good, and Nan Ye''s and Nan Ge''s voice was not very loud, Yun Qian still heard everything clearly from the conversation between the two.


    He understood Nan Ye''s thoughts. Nan Ye was previously a death warrior by Yun Lichen''s side, but he had personally killed Yun Lichen. This matter, he had probably kept it in his heart.


    He knew that because of this huge gap between them, Nan Ye would never be truly loyal to him. Thus, he was extremely wary of Nan Ye.


    However, this was something that he needed to worry about in the future. Right now, the most important thing was to make a trip to the Profound Yin Empire as soon as possible.


    As a result, he slowly got up and couldn''t help but cough lightly as he coughed out some blood. That Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts was truly powerful when it lost control, otherwise the doctor wouldn''t have asked him to recuperate for half a month.


    He wiped the blood on his lips and turned into a wisp of smoke before disappearing from the inner hall. Even though there were many disciples guarding outside the inner hall, they did not find anything strange.


    Only Nan Ge, who was closest to the Inner Palace, felt that something was amiss. He prayed in his heart, High Lord, you must come back as soon as possible, otherwise, if that villain Nan Ye finds out anything, everything will be exposed!


    From Nine-Tailed Fox Clan''s borders to its west, one was in the eastern part of the continent, and the other was in the western part of the continent, so it was still quite a long journey.


    The Mercenary Guild that used to be rather lively had now become empty, like hell, giving off a sinister atmosphere.


    Yun Qian did not stop and went straight to the cell where the Mercenary Guild were imprisoning the Spirit Beasts. No one was watching, the moment he stepped in, he heard the noise and saw a shocking scene.


    The cells that should have been filled with spirit beasts were filled with humans who had lost their consciousness, and they were packed together so tightly that they couldn''t even stand. Looking at them, there were at least a thousand people, and other than mercenaries, there were also ordinary people.


    Those humans who had lost their minds all stuck their heads out of the cell when they saw someone coming in. Their eyes were bloodshot as they howled with their mouths wide open, as if they wanted to eat someone!

 C249

    His own speed was too fast, but he was still a step too late. However, Mo Yu would definitely not be able to escape, and the spy he had planted in his line of sight was already caught up to him!


    He slowly stepped into the prison. It was as if those who had lost their minds wanted to rush out of the prison and eat him.


    This kind of symptom was not much different from those Vicious Beasts s who had lost their minds. However, the dosage of Poison Gu s used on humans should be much less than the amount used on spirit beasts.


    Thinking about that, Yun Qian raised her hand, and a seemingly lazy Spiritual Strength pulled one of the people out of the cell. When that human saw Yun Qian, he seemed to go crazy and was about to pounce on him.


    Yun Qian''s expression did not change as he locked the human in place. For a moment, the human could not move and continued to struggle on the spot.


    A warm green Spiritual Strength flowed out from Yun Qian''s fingertip and slowly poured into the human body. It took a lot of effort to pull the evil Poison Gu out of the human body.


    He wanted to keep the Poison Gu here, but when the Poison Gu touched the air, it instantly turned into nothingness. In the next second, the human''s eyes gradually returned to normal, and the evil aura around his body completely disappeared, returning to normal people''s minds.


    "Thank you, Sir, for saving my life! Thank you, Sir, for saving my life!" The human kept kowtowing and thanking him.


    "Don''t thank me. I can''t save all of you." Yun Qian''s delicate eyebrows slightly knitted together as she casually said.


    His medical skills were limited, and coupled with the fact that he was injured, it was indeed impossible for him to recover everyone''s minds.


    Thus, Yun Qian asked coldly, "Let me ask you, do you know who it was that placed this Venom on you?"


    "I don''t know either." The human lowered his head, "When you were tied up, your eyes were blindfolded. You don''t even know what happened!"


    Seeing that he was unable to find any answers to his question, Yun Qian did not pursue the matter. "Forget it, you can leave now."


    "Yes." The human looked at the room full of people who had lost their minds. He was so scared that his legs went limp. He immediately left without looking back.


    At this time, two black figures flashed past, and two masked Black Man s appeared in front of Yun Qian together with Mo Yu, who had been bound with all sorts of treasures, and knelt down as they greeted: "President, the traitor has been brought back!"


    Mo Yu kept his head down the entire time, not daring to look at Yun Qian''s eyes.


    "Did you alarm anyone?" Yun Qian asked indifferently.


    "Nope." One of the Black Man s answered, "Those who know, do not leave a single person alive!"


    Looks like no one knew that he had secretly sent people to capture Mo Yu.


    At this time, Mo Yu hurriedly pleaded for forgiveness, "President, this subordinate knows my wrongs, and I beg President to forgive me!"


    Yun Qian coldly glanced at him and asked, "This noble one only asked you one question, who was the one who ordered you to give this Gu?"


    "Guild leader, what are you talking about?" Mo Yu then started to pretend to be stupid, "No one is ordering me, everything is ¡­ It''s just that I was distracted for a moment. "


    He would not reveal everything that had happened behind his back, so he could just play the fool and pretend that he didn''t know anything.


    "Do you think this sovereign is a fool?" The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth lifted slightly. That faint smile that seemed to leave him revealed a dark coldness that was extremely frightening. "I''ll give you a chance. I''ll hand over the mastermind behind the scenes and leave you with your dog life."


    Mo Yu remained as secretive as ever: "President, this subordinate really doesn''t know what the president is talking about."


    In the next second, Yun Qian''s expression immediately darkened, the black clothed Dark Guard beside him spat out a mouthful of blood, and coldly warned: "If you know what''s good for you, quickly say it, stop acting like a fool in front of the president!"


    "If you keep playing dumb, I''ll cut off your tongue!" The other Dark Guard also agreed.


    Mo Yu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. With a trembling voice, he said: "President, this subordinate truly did not know anything. All of this is this subordinate''s fault.


    After he finished speaking, Mo Yu was about to kowtow on the stone floor, but was stopped by Yun Qian with a light Spiritual Strength.


    "You want to die so easily?" Yun Qian''s cold voice sounded like it belonged to a god.


    If this fellow was still alive, perhaps he would have some value. After all, he wouldn''t let him die so easily.


    "I ¡­" Mo Yu lowered his head, at that moment in time, he could not even die, he was like a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.


    The black-robed Dark Guard asked, "High Lord, how do you plan to deal with this traitor?"


    "Take him down. After a few days, the head protector will come over and leave it to the head protector to handle personally." Yun Qian seemed to have already thought of what to do and knew that this fellow would not be so easy to deal with. Thus, he revealed the mastermind.


    Pausing for a moment, Yun Qian purposely reminded him, "Remember, do not let him die!"


    "Yes sir!" Hence, a Dark Guard took Mo Yu away.


    The other Dark Guard could not help but open his mouth, as though reminding Yun Qian, "President, no one knows that we have captured Mo Yu, what do you plan to do next?"


    "Yes." On the other hand, Yun Qian thought the same way as him and took out a Pills from the Storage Ring and gave it to the Dark Guard.


    "Guild leader, what is this?" The Dark Guard asked.


    "Disguise Pill."


    Immediately, the Dark Guard understood what the President meant: "The President wanted me to change my appearance to that of Mo Yu, and in place of Mo Yu, to continue staying in this position, and investigate the situation?"


    "That''s right." Yun Qian did not deny anything. "If anything happens, immediately report it to me or the chief protector."


    "Yes sir!" Dark Guard took the disguise pill, and without thinking, he immediately consumed it. The mask on his face suddenly disappeared, and in a moment, he transformed into Mo Yu.


    Even when Yun Qian stood in front of him, he could not detect anything out of the ordinary. He was immediately satisfied: "Not bad."


    "President, leave everything to me. Rest assured." Dark Guard lowered his head, his tone filled with sincerity.


    Border of Phoenix Nest Empire.


    Su Xiruo appeared in front of the Bamboo Woods hut and was just in time to see Ye Zhuozhuo and Mu Lingxi chasing and playing around with each other.


    She couldn''t help but chuckle as she opened her mouth and said, "I really envy the two of you to be able to live here like an immortal couple."


    Hearing this familiar voice, the two of them turned around and saw Xiruo. Ye Zhuozhuo immediately came forward and said, "Xiruo, you finally came to see us. I thought you had forgotten about me."


    Mu Lingxi could not help but ridicule him: "I''m currently in the Poison Sovereign, and am busy, how can I have the time to bother with you?"


    "I''m afraid the two of you don''t like it either. I''ll disturb the two of you, right?" Su Xiruo laughed, and spoke deliberately.


    "Of course not." Ye Zhuozhuo immediately denied it and looked at Mu Lingxi with eyes full of happiness.


    Then, Su Xiruo went straight to the point: "Right, where is the Medical Sovereign?"


    "Master is inside." Ye Zhuozhuo''s voice suddenly became a lot softer, "Did you come to find Master for something?"


    "Mm, I''ll go in and take a look." Su Xiruo nodded his head slightly, then went forward and lightly knocked on the door.


    Inside the house, the voice of the Medical Sovereign came over, as if he had already known who was coming. "Come in."


    With the permission of the Medical Sovereign, Su Xiruo gently pushed the door open and entered only to see the Medical Sovereign sitting in a meditative pose inside the room.


    "Medical Sovereign." Su Xiruo bowed politely. Although he was now on equal footing with the Medical Sovereign in terms of status, in terms of qualifications, he was still a junior.


    Therefore, there was still a lot of etiquette.


    "Poison Sovereign is here to pay a visit. I believe he has something to request of me." Medical Sovereign laughed, as if he could read her thoughts.


    "I can''t hide anything from the Medical Sovereign." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly, and then he found a seat and casually sat down, "Today, I came to visit, because I have a question to ask Medical Sovereign."


    The Medical Sovereign''s attitude was extremely amiable: "Ask away."


    "Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials, Herba Phellodendri." Su Xiruo did not waste any more words, and went straight to the point.

 C250

    Hearing these three words, Medical Sovereign''s expression seemed to become a little more serious: "Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials, this ¡­ Little girl, even if you have a Eighth Rank Medicinal Materials, with your current Toxicology, I''m afraid you wouldn''t be able to refine a poison of the eighth step, right? "


    After being beaten up by the Medical Sovereign, Su Xiruo could not help but cough awkwardly, "Cough cough ¡­ As for the Toxicology, it can be raised slowly. These medicinal ingredients are very precious, I wonder where I can find them. Does Medical Sovereign know? "


    "This old man knows tens of millions of medicinal plants. This Herba Phellodendri is an ancient medicinal plant. To this old man, it is indeed strange." Medical Sovereign''s performance was obviously not very familiar either.


    A look of loss flashed across Su Xiruo''s face, "Even you don''t know, where can I go to find him?"


    Could it be that this last medicinal herb was destined to cause her to fail completely? She was unwilling, truly unwilling.


    "However." At this time, Medical Sovereign changed the topic, "The Herba Phellodendri should be a medicinal ingredient that comes from the Orc Clan. Although this old man doesn''t know it yet, I can give you a direction."


    After hearing this, Xi Ruo''s eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "Senior, please speak."


    "At the boundary between the Phoenix Nest Empire and the Phoenix Nest Empire, there is a place called the Clear Canyon. The Spiritual Strength surrounds it and countless medicinal ingredients grow there. That place, should be the place with the most abundant medicinal ingredients in the entire Humans." "But because of the abundance of the Spiritual Strength, those with the strength below five star Spirit Monarch simply could not endure the pressure of the Spiritual Strength and could not wait for an incense stick of time!"


    In other words, only people with the strength of five stars and above would have the qualifications to enter that Clear Canyon.


    Then, Medical Sovereign continued, "Furthermore, even if you enter, there will be dangers everywhere. Without the Spirit Sovereign''s strength, you might not even be able to keep your life, but little girl, with your current strength, this old man is not worried."


    This girl currently had the strength of Spirit God, so it shouldn''t be a difficult task for her to escape from that Clear Canyon unscathed.


    "Clear Canyon ¡­" Su Xiruo repeated these three words again, as if he had seen some hope, "Thank you Medical Sovereign for your advice, I will go to Clear Canyon now!"


    With that, Su Xiruo stood up and quickly turned to leave. He did not hear the Medical Sovereign''s last words: "Do you want to stay a while longer?"


    Seeing her leave in high spirits, Medical Sovereign couldn''t help but smile meaningfully.


    Fox Clan border palace.


    It was already dark outside, and Nan Ye paced around outside of the Inner Palace. He knocked on the door: "High Lord, may I come in?"


    At this time, Nan Ge arrived in time and rushed forward to stop him. "Nan Ye, High Lord has already said, if you do not have a summons, you are not allowed to enter.


    This Nan Ye, was truly too brazen, High Lord had only been gone for half a day, and this was already the third time he wanted to enter the Inner Palace. Could it be that he already suspected that the High Lord was not in the Inner Palace?


    "I just wanted to personally convey Empress''s intentions to him." Nan Ye intentionally found an excuse, "Moreover, High Lord is severely injured, from last night to now, I have called for three times but no one replied. Don''t tell me you''re not worried, what will happen to High Lord?"


    Nan Ge rolled her eyes at him, and said snappily: "Normally, it''s me who serves High Lord, and I also haven''t seen you worry about such matters before, why do you start to worry about it today?"


    "Nan Ge, you have been taking care of High Lord all day. I am really suspicious now, do you have something to do with High Lord?" Nan Ye snorted coldly, purposefully saying those slanderous words.


    This sentence completely infuriated Nan Ge, and she sent another slap across her face. But this time, the slap did not fall, as Nan Ye had expected it, and grabbed her wrist: "You still want to hit me?"


    "I won''t allow you to insult the High Lord!" Nan Ge warned him word for word.


    "Heh." Nan Ye could not help but smile, "And you still say nothing, you actually dare to say that you are protecting the High Lord, is it not a kick in the ass?"


    "I didn''t!" Nan Ge argued with all his might, as though he was about to lose his head from this troublesome fellow.


    Nan Ye flung her hand off in a bad mood and snorted coldly: "I''m too lazy to discuss this issue with you. Right now, I want to go in and see High Lord, you''d better not obstruct me!"


    "With me here, you won''t be able to get in!" Nan Ge''s attitude was firm, as if she was going to fight with him.


    "If you stop me again, I will immediately report this to Empress and have him personally come to see me!" Nan Ye did not waste any more words with her and threatened her.


    "How dare you!"


    "Why would I not dare?" With these words, Nan Ye turned and left.


    "Halt!" Nan Ge was obviously panicking, as the berserk Spiritual Strength rushed towards his back.


    Nan Ye had already expected this would happen, so he flashed behind Nan Ge and landed a palm on the pillow behind her. In the next second, Nan Ge''s vision went dark, and he fainted.


    Nan Ye hugged Nan Ge''s body, and pushed him to the disciple by the side: "Heh, you still want to fight with me, you truly overestimate yourself!"


    The more guilty Nan Ge felt, the more he felt that there was a problem with the inner hall, thus, Nan Ye continued to knock on the door: "High Lord, this subordinate has something to report!"


    Then, he added: "This matter is extremely urgent. High Lord, please allow this subordinate to come in!"


    No one responded even after he shouted several times. Immediately, Nan Ye had a bad premonition in his heart.


    That sickly Yangzi, could he really not be in the inner hall?


    Thinking about that, Nan Ye mustered up his courage, and risked the danger of being beaten up. He forcefully pushed open the inner hall door, and immediately begged for forgiveness with his head lowered: "Please forgive High Lord, this subordinate was forced to come in!"


    Nan Ye walked in and saw that there wasn''t even a shadow of a High Lord in the inner palace hall. He suddenly felt that he had been deceived, that damned girl Nan Ge had deceived him!


    Alright, High Lord should be using this as an excuse to close up and treat his injuries, in order to avoid the eyes of Empress and do some shameful things! If Empress knew about this, he would not be able to handle it!


    Thinking about it, Nan Ye immediately said: "Someone come."


    A few disciples hurriedly came in and knelt on the ground: "What orders do you have, Protector?"


    "High Lord used this reason to close up and leave the borders of the Fox Clan without permission. He did not inform Empress and went to report this news to Empress!" The corner of Nan Ye''s mouth rose, revealing a sinister smile.


    "Yes sir!"


    Following that, Nan Ye instructed the other disciples: "Go and get the doctor who treated High Lord yesterday."


    "Yes, this subordinate will call for you right now!"


    After a while, the white haired doctor came to the inner hall. Seeing that the air pressure around Nan Ye was very low, he asked with a trembling voice, "What orders do you have for me?"


    Nan Ye was not the least bit polite. He sat down on a seat at the side and asked coldly, "Ji Lin, yesterday, are you sure you didn''t misdiagnose High Lord? High Lord was indeed heavily injured? "


    "That''s right." The doctor called Ji Lin answered truthfully, "High Lord''s internal organs were injured by the Vicious Beasts and his injuries were severe."


    "If this protector finds out that you are lying, you know the consequences!" Nan Ye threatened coldly.


    The doctor''s body trembled as he explained himself, "Reporting to the protector, this old servant has followed the Empress for dozens of years. Why would I hide it from the both of you?"


    By now, everyone knew that in the Fox Clan, the majority of the powers were from the Fox-Queen. Although the High Lord was strong, the powers beside him were not as strong as the ones in the Fox-Queen.


    A good bird choosing a tree to live on, even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to help the High Lord fake it!


    "Hoh, this Protector will believe you for now. Go down!" Nan Ye waved his hand, signalling for him to go down.


    He didn''t dare do so either. After all, the severity of the situation was such that if the Empress were to find out, his little life would be lost!


    After the doctor left, Nan Ye''s eyes revealed a peculiar killing intent.


    High Lord was heavily injured, and had left the Fox Clan realm. There was no one else by his side, so this time, was precisely the chance for him to kill him and take revenge for First Prince!

 C251

    Yun Shuang had originally planned to stay at the Mercenary Guild for a while longer, so she could roughly understand the situation of the Profound Yin Empire.


    But who knew that at dusk, when he used the Azure Feather to send a message to Nan Ge, he suddenly lost track of Nan Ge, and was completely unable to contact him.


    As a result, he was worried that the nosy Nan Ye might already know that he had left the Fox Clan realm, so he had to hurry back to prevent himself from arousing more suspicion.


    Thus, Yun Qian gave a few simple instructions to the Dark Guard, then left immediately, leaving the Profound Yin Empire.


    After he left the Profound Yin Empire realm, he suddenly received another Azure Feather from Nan Ge, and casually descended, gently glancing at his surroundings. The plants were lush, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs overflowed into the surroundings, like a canyon, it should be at the border with the Phoenix Nest Empire.


    Outside of the ravine, there seemed to be Barrier, but he had effortlessly burrowed his way in.


    Opening the Azure Feather to look, from the words, he could feel Nan Ge''s impatience. "High Lord, Empress already knows that you have left the palace, come back quickly!"


    Yun Qian guessed that it was because of Nan Ye, that sh * t stick, or else, it would be impossible for Fox Queen to know that he had left the palace so quickly.


    However, there was no point in talking now. He had to hurry back as soon as possible!


    Just as he was about to use Wind Control Arts to leave, he felt a strong wave of Spiritual Strength approaching him.


    In the next second, more than ten masked Black Man appeared out of the shadows, all of them wielding weapons, approaching him with full speed, they formed a flawless array formation and surrounded Yun Qian.


    Heh, in this kind of place, they actually encountered an assassination attempt.


    Yun Qian''s expression did not change, when he brandished his blade, the dense white Sword Qi s forced back a circle of people, but because his right arm was bitten by the Vicious Beasts, he could not lift the Divine Instrument.


    Thus, he changed the weapon to his left hand, and a formation formed by more than ten experts of the Spirit Monarch and above was complicated, endlessly changing, alternating between the five elements.


    Yun Qian, on the other hand, did not take it seriously at all. He raised his hand and summoned a green light that pierced through Black Man''s chest, breaking a fatal hole.


    After that, it was a single slash that killed a person. The flawless array formation was instantly defeated; it was simply unable to withstand this violent attack!


    The leading Men In Black opened his eyes wide, as though he never thought that this fellow would be so difficult to deal with after receiving such heavy injuries.


    Immediately, he calmed his heart, the black Spiritual Strength burst out from his palm, transforming into a huge shadow blade that struck towards Yun Qian''s back, right at the position where he could not dodge at all!


    High level, Nine Hell Shadow Blade!


    But unexpectedly, in the next second, a golden light flashed by, causing him to be unable to open his eyes instantly. Before he could even react, a violent and barbaric seal blotted out the sky and covered the earth, mixed in with a scorching coldness!


    It was a kind of terrifying power, like a bottomless pit, the Black Man turned around and tried to escape, but he was immediately sent flying by the seal, along with the Heavenly Ranked Spiritual Skill he had just released, they were also intercepted!


    Black Man could vaguely see a figure dressed in red appear in front of him. Without caring about anything else, he crawled up from the ground while enduring his heavy injuries and turned around to run, afraid that he wouldn''t even be able to protect his own life.


    At the same time, Yun Qian happened to have taken care of all those Black Man s. His fluttering white clothes, did not have a single trace of blood on them.


    Yun Qian was even more certain now that he was the one who wanted his life.


    He turned his gaze to the side and saw that Su Xiruo was standing not far away from him. He knew that she was the one who had struck out to stop Black Man''s fatal strike, but she had not made a sound.


    Seeing his cold face, Xi Ruo smiled and took the initiative to reply: "Demon Sovereign, to be able to meet each other here, you and I are truly fated!"


    Su Xiruo''s gaze unintentionally fell on the corpses of the Spirit Fox s on the ground. He could not help but think, his days in the Fox Clan were probably not as he wished, and he was actually assassinated by the Fox Clan disciples!


    Today was a coincidence, she had just arrived at the Clear Canyon, and before she could even start searching for medicinal ingredients, she heard the intense sounds of fighting, and following the sound, she saw Yun Qian.


    Yun Qian didn''t pay attention to her and turned around to leave. He only wanted to hurry back to the Fox Clan.


    Su Xiruo followed with small steps, and said with a leisurely voice: "I just saved your life, and you don''t even say a word of thanks, and you plan on leaving like this?"


    "Demon Sovereign ¡­"


    "Helian Yunqian, are you listening to me?"


    This woman was really boring. She must have followed him here on purpose, so it was better for him to ignore her!


    Suddenly, Xiruo''s surprised shout came from behind them, "Ah ¡­"


    Yun Qian instinctively turned his head but did not see anything. Just as he was panicking, he felt that he had been struck by a hidden weapon in his chest!


    Suddenly, he turned his head, only to see the girl standing in front of him smiling, her chest had a cut from her concealed weapon, only then did he realize that he had been tricked: "Su Xiruo, do you want to die?"


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly. Instead of getting angry, he laughed: "Then we''ll still have to see if you can kill me now."


    Just as Yun Qian was about to raise his hand, he felt as if all his limbs were drained of energy. He could not muster any strength as his entire body went limp and he could not move at all.


    The concealed weapon was poisonous!


    "You actually poisoned him!" Yun Qian immediately reacted, this hidden weapon was poisoned.


    This woman had purposely used her screams to attract his attention and then took the opportunity to poison him with her sneak attack. How despicable!


    "No, no, no." Su Xiruo immediately denied, his tone extremely frivolous, "I only wiped some Bewitching Powder on my concealed weapon, so the poison won''t kill anyone!"


    Yun Qian''s finger bones were curled tightly as he coldly asked, "What are you trying to do?"


    Su Xiruo supported his limp body as he squatted down, and even pretended to look wronged: "You ignore me, I can only use such a special method."


    "It''s obviously a despicable method." Yun Qian snorted coldly, thinking that she was doing it on purpose. He ordered, "Hurry and give me the antidote!"


    Su Xiruo didn''t comment on his words but deliberately tried to keep him in suspense: "Your Highness, why are you so angry right after meeting me? I am only trying to be calm and say a few words to you!"


    Yet, this girl dared to say that she was calm?


    He did not see any calmness in his heart!


    The more Yun Qian got angry, the more Xi Ruo''s playfulness flared up, her slender fingers lightly stroked his chin, and teased: "I''ve never carefully looked at it before, and I''m not really interested in you, but now I feel more and more, that your highness is truly a peerless beauty, the more this noble one looks at it, the more I like it!"


    Su Xiruo got closer, then continued: "Now, I truly regret leaving you, what do I do?"


    "Shameless!" He only felt that this girl was humiliating him as she coldly spat out these words.


    Before he could finish his words, who would have thought that the little girl''s cherry lips would lightly cover his lips. She lightly stepped on the water and gave him a kiss. A slight chill, as if she was shocked by electricity, ran through her heart.


    A light kiss, like a sudden clap of thunder, instantly exploded in Yun Qian''s mind. If he could move now, he would definitely strangle this reckless woman to death!


    However, other than anger, there was also an indescribable feeling of throbbing that surged into his heart. However, it was immediately suppressed by him as he strove to calm down his emotions.


    What was he thinking? He shouldn''t have even thought about such a shameless woman!


    "Are you serious?" he asked coldly, in a slightly mocking tone.


    Su Xiruo was so frightened by his sudden words that she shivered. However, she quickly calmed down and smiled: "Just playing, Your Highness. Don''t take it seriously."


    She actually admitted that she was just playing around?


    This woman was simply courting death!


    "Do you believe that this sovereign will kill you!?"


    "I don''t believe you." Xi Ruo didn''t think so.

 C252

    Yun Qian''s finger bones were curled tightly together and it was difficult for him to raise his hand. He was instantly infuriated. He gently coughed a few times and a trace of blood was still hanging from the corner of his lips.


    "Don''t bother." The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly as she gave a coquettish smile, her slender fingerbone gently stroking his chest, "I think, even if you can kill me now, you wouldn''t be willing to kill me!"


    That mocking tone, she wanted to be beaten to death at any moment!


    She touched Yun Qian''s chest and inadvertently touched a few wounds that were not shallow. The light in her eyes deepened and froze for a moment.


    "Take your hand away from this sovereign!" At this moment, every time this woman touched his body, she would make him feel extremely disgusted!


    This woman, was she even beginning to give him face?


    "I don''t want to." Su Xiruo wanted to go against him, her tone was extremely bewitching, "Not only won''t you let go, I''ll even take off your clothes!"


    "Su Xiruo, I''m warning you, if you don''t want to die, let go!" Yun Qian seemed to be on the verge of exploding from her anger. While she was speaking, Xiruo had already gently untied the belt on his clothes.


    Su Xiruo stared fixedly at the densely packed wounds on his chest. Each and every one of them were extremely deep and the light in his eyes dimmed, revealing a little pain in his heart.


    As the Patriarch of a noble family, why would a dignified Demon Sovereign like him receive such a heavy injury on his arm? Could it be that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was harsh on him?


    Thinking about that, Su Xiruo''s fingers curled up, his eyes revealing a cold killing intent.


    If she were to know that Yun Qian had been subjected to any kind of treatment or suffering in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, even if she had to sacrifice her life, she would make that Fox Queen pay!


    Seeing the woman staring at his chest in a daze, Yun Qian became even more furious, "Have you seen enough?"


    Was this woman addicted to taking advantage of him? He was actually so thirsty that he could stare at the man''s body for a long time!


    He was truly unlucky, last time at the Sea Area of the Mermaid Clan, he had been tricked by this woman, but this time he did not put his guard down, and made her scheme once again!


    After her thoughts were interrupted by him, Xiruo regained her senses and smiled faintly, "Your Highness'' figure is so good, no matter how you look at it, you won''t be able to see enough! It''s a pity that without these scars, it would look even better. "


    "Shameless!"


    After saying that, Yun Qian took out Healing Drug s and carefully applied them to his wounds. In the next second, Yun Qian felt a sharp pain from his wounds and coldly asked: "What are you doing?"


    Could it be that this woman felt that her injuries weren''t serious enough and wanted to poison him to death?


    "Poison." Su Xiruo blurted out, his tone was casual, but his tone sounded extremely infuriating.


    "You!"


    Poison indeed, this wicked woman!


    "This is the poison that I just developed." Seeing his arrogant and spoiled look, Su Xiruo continued to tease, "The poison is extremely strong, but it has not been used yet. Today, I shall test it on your body, and if no accidents happen, within a day, you will die with blood flowing out of your seven orifices!"


    As scary as he could be, Su Xiruo didn''t forget to look up and steal a glance at Yun Qian''s extremely arrogant expression. He couldn''t help but laugh out loud, secretly rejoicing.


    This woman had not only smeared poison on his wounds, she had even treated him as a subject for experiments. This was simply too much!


    "If you hate me, then just kill me!" Yun Qian said snappily, "There''s no need to be like this. After all, your Little Phoenix did not die, so your wish has been fulfilled and you can be together with him."


    For some reason, this tone sounded somewhat dejected.


    Su Xiruo lowered his gaze slightly, and the softest part of his heart twitched for some reason, making him feel a little uncomfortable.


    This fool, does he really think that the person he likes is Rong Yu?


    Therefore, Su Xiruo smiled, raised his head and looked at him, then deliberately said with a teasing tone: "It''s good that you''re Rong Yu, but I feel that you''re even more beautiful than Rong Yu now!"


    What a water lily woman!


    "I don''t have time to play this kind of boring game with you." Yun Qian did not want to continue interacting with her.


    Since someone had come to assassinate him, it meant that the Fox Queen must have known about his disappearance from the palace. He still had no idea about the situation with his Fox Clan.


    Su Xiruo slightly nodded, and helped bandage the wound on his arm, and asked casually: "What, are you in a hurry to go back to see your fiancee?"


    It seemed like he didn''t care at all, but it was clearly mixed with complicated emotions.


    "No." He lightly denied it.


    As for Ming Ge, he couldn''t even remember her appearance, much less think about her.


    After she was done bandaging, Xi Ruo glanced at him and said with an extremely innocent tone of voice, "Your legs are on your body, it''s not like I''m not letting you go."


    It was a simple sentence, but nobody knew how infuriating it was.


    This woman must have done it on purpose! After giving him the Bewitching Powder, he said such words again?


    If he could move now, would he still talk nonsense with her?


    No, if he could move now, he would first kill this despicable and shameless woman!


    "You''re right, give me the antidote first." Yun Qian said snappily.


    "Sure." Su Xiruo moved closer, her small face was only a hair''s breadth away from his lips. She pointed her slender fingerbone at his face and shamelessly teased, "Give me a kiss and I''ll give you the antidote."


    Yun Qian coldly snorted as he shifted his gaze away. He didn''t pay any attention to her, but his heartbeat quickened as panic clouded his mind.


    After a while, seeing that he was still acting so haughtily, Su Xiruo could only give up and said leisurely: "This is something you don''t want, don''t say that I''m not giving it to you."


    Yun Qian snorted coldly, thinking, could it be that this woman is not afraid, that Little Phoenix that knows about this, is angry?


    However ¡­ She was a normal woman, so it wasn''t strange for her to do such a thing!


    At this time, the sky had already gradually darkened, and suddenly, Su Xiruo remembered his main purpose for coming to the Clear Canyon.


    He was here to look for the Herba Phellodendri, why did he tease this pretty boy, and forget about it in the blink of an eye?


    Thus, Xi Ruo''s slender fingerbone lightly patted Yun Qian''s shoulder, and she said, "Your Highness, I still have important matters to attend to. You should obediently stay here and wait for me to come back."


    Saying that, without waiting for him to reply, Su Xiruo disappeared in a flash.


    "Su Xiruo, stop right there!" By the time Yun Qian''s cold voice sounded, the girl was already long gone.


    This damnable woman was simply too audacious. It was one thing if she gave him a Bewitching Bewitching Powder, but she even left him alone in this desolate place!


    This kind of thing, only she, Su Xiruo, could do it.


    Right now, his body was in a state of disarray, his four limbs were immobile, and he couldn''t go anywhere. Could it be that he had to wait for that girl to come back?


    "Su Xiruo, you had best not fall into this sovereign''s hands!"


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Shengge Hall.


    Nan Ge slightly nodded his head and knelt in front of His Highness. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the furious Fox Queen sitting there, and a trace of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.


    "Nan Ge." Fox Queen''s charming voice turned cold, "Your wings are getting harder and harder. I think you have forgotten who your real master is?"


    This little girl, who only followed Yun Qian for a year, had always been defending Yun Qian. Now she even dared to shield Yun Qian and leave the palace without permission. This was unforgivable!


    "Nan Ge would not dare." Nan Ge lowered his head slightly, and took all of the guilt for himself, "It was this subordinate who was incompetent, so Empress, go ahead and punish this subordinate!"


    Fox Queen snorted coldly, looking at him with disdain: "What''s the use of punishing you, do you know where Yun Qian is?"


    Nan Ge bit his lower lip, took a step forward and requested, "Empress, this subordinate will look for him now. No matter what, we must personally bring High Lord back!"


    "Get out of my way, don''t get in my way!" Fox Queen pushed her back with a palm and sent Nan Ge to look for someone.

 C253

    Just as Nan Ge left, Ming Ge, who was standing beside Fox Queen, started crying sorrowfully. With a worried tone, he said, "Empress, I really hope that nothing will happen to Your Highness."


    To Ming Ge, the attitude of the Fox Queen was still relatively polite, "Yun Qian will be fine, he left the palace on his own this time, and when he returns, I''ll have to interrogate him!"


    Ming Ge bit his lower lip, and said: "Empress, I think that since Your Highness left the palace, he must have his own difficulties. Don''t be angry, just punish him with a small punishment."


    "I know what I''m doing." Fox Queen''s cold eyes revealed a hint of killing intent, and then he said, "Ming Ge, don''t worry. When Yun Qian returns, I will naturally let him personally go to Poison Sect and bring back your Mermaid s!"


    Actually, the reason Ming Ge came to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan this time, was to get the Fox Queen to step forward and bring back the Profound Ice Stone for him.


    "Thank you, Empress." Hearing her words, Ming Ge was ecstatic in his heart, but he still politely replied, "It''s not important whether or not the Profound Ice Stone can be retrieved. As long as Your Highness can return safely, I can rest easy."


    "Ming Ge, you have a good sense of foresight." Fox Queen''s face revealed a satisfied smile. He was quite satisfied with the marriage between the Fox Clan and the Mermaid s.


    As Su Xiruo stepped into the depths of the Clear Canyon, he could feel the increasing pressure of the Spiritual Strength approaching him.


    No wonder the Medical Sovereign said that if one did not have the strength of a Spirit Sovereign above that level, it would be extremely difficult for one to even survive in the Clear Canyon!


    Fortunately, she was still at the Spirit God and so the pressure of the Spiritual Strength could still be endured. However, she knew that she had only walked half the distance.


    Moreover, even though there were a lot of herbs along the way, they were not that easy to obtain.


    Suddenly, an extremely good looking Seventh Rank medicinal plant attracted her attention. She stopped and squatted down: "Dragon Soul Grass."


    Su Xiruo was about to extend his hand to pick it, but the moment he touched the medicinal herb, he suddenly felt that the Spiritual Strength in his body had been slightly pulled out.


    After harvesting the Dragon Soul Grass, he realised that he had lost some Spiritual Strength s.


    It turned out that if he wanted to pluck these herbs, he had to use his Spiritual Strength!


    As a result, a Xi Yan flew out from Su Xiruo''s sleeve, and easily cut off another medicinal herb. Who knew, he still lost some of his Spiritual Strength.


    Xi Ruo did not want to give up, she took out her Can Meng, her blade glowing with a faint golden light, she cut down a stalk of herb lightly. This time, there was actually no loss of Spiritual Strength!


    However, the golden light surrounding the Can Meng''s blade had dimmed a little and should recover soon.


    At that moment, she felt more and more that this broken dagger she had accidentally obtained was of great use!


    This Can Meng had many more secrets that he did not know about.


    Su Xiruo stood up, he wanted to keep the remaining Spiritual Strength of the Can Meng for his own use. Otherwise, if he were to pick the Herba Phellodendri with his bare hands, he might really be downgraded by the backlash!


    She went deeper and deeper, and met one or two Six Rank Spiritual Beast, which she easily dealt with. It was just that this Clear Canyon seemed to have no end, and was terrifyingly quiet.


    Xi Ruo had a premonition in her heart that if she continued walking down this path, she might reach another place!


    Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke flashed in front of her. A white-haired old man appeared in front of her. He wore a plain white robe, and the moonlight shone on his body, making him look like an immortal.


    For some reason, Xiruo was unable to sense the Spiritual Strength around the old man''s body, and instantly became more vigilant.


    "Don''t go any further, there''s nothing in front of you." The old man spoke slowly.


    "Do you know what I''m looking for?" Su Xiruo deliberately asked.


    The old man laughed and blurted out: "Isn''t that the Herba Phellodendri?"


    This old man actually knew what he was looking for. Who exactly was he?


    Xi Ruo revealed a surprised look and asked, "May I ask, who is senior?"


    The old man still smiled and didn''t answer Xi Ruo''s question, "Who this old man is is not important. Little girl, quickly go back. If you continue forward, you will be in danger."


    "Then... Senior, do you know where the Herba Phellodendri are? " Xi Ruo didn''t care too much about his identity. At this moment, she cared even more about where she could find the herbs.


    The old man''s answer was extremely confusing, "You are walking all over the place looking for something, why don''t you stay by your side and pay more attention to it?"


    "Beside you ¡­" She thoughtfully repeated herself, still not quite understanding, and continued to ask, "Senior, please enlighten me!"


    Who would have thought that before she finished speaking, the old man had already disappeared without a trace.


    Everything that had just happened was like a dream. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake.


    "It can''t be a scam, right?" Su Xiruo slowly sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.


    However, what the old man said was right, going further, an even more berserk Spiritual Strength pressure, even with her current strength, would not be able to withstand it.


    He glanced at the sky and realized that it was almost dawn. Suddenly, he remembered that Yun Qian was still lying on the ground, trapped by the Bewildering Soul Powder and was unable to move. He knew that nothing could happen to him.


    Thinking about it, Su Xiruo gave up the path ahead, and turned back to return.


    At this time, Yun Qian was completely bored out of his mind as he stood in the same place. His eyes were slightly closed as the Spiritual Strength in his body slowly circulated.


    In another hour, he would be able to release the Bewitching Powder inside his body and leave this desolate place.


    Suddenly, he heard the angry roars of spirit beasts. He felt a wave of earth attribute Spiritual Strength approaching him.


    It can''t be? He just happened to run into the spirit beast in the canyon before he could move?


    Yun Qian opened his eyes and saw a ten feet tall giant spider spitting out its fangs, aggressively rushing towards his face. Judging from the fluctuations of the Spiritual Strength, it should be a Six Rank Spiritual Beast.


    However, at this time, his four limbs could not move, and he could only move his body a little bit backwards. The Earth Spider breathed out and sent Yun Qian''s light body flying a few meters away.


    "Damn it!" His eyes were cold as he watched the spider approach, but he could not move an inch.


    That damned woman wanted him to die on purpose, so she gave him a Bewitching Disperse and then left him alone in this damned place where only beasts could be seen!


    He was a stately Demon Sovereign, but today, he was being oppressed by a Six Rank Spiritual Beast to the point that he had no strength to fight back!


    The Earth Spider was vicious, its sharp fangs closing in. Just as it was about to swallow Yun Qian, a Spiritual Strength suddenly pierced through its heart and killed it.


    In the next second, Nan Ge appeared in front of Yun Qian, revealing a joyous expression: "High Lord, this subordinate has finally found you!"


    Yun Qian heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if she had come a little later, he was afraid that he would have become the Earth Spider''s food.


    Then, Nan Ge was startled, and asked: "High Lord, are you injured? Subordinate... Are we late? "


    "No problem." Yun Qian spoke plainly.


    Nan Ge seemed to have noticed something amiss, as he lightly flicked his sleeves and released the Bewitching Powder in Yun Qian''s body. In the next second, Yun Qian''s four limbs finally regained their senses.


    "High Lord, who gave you the Bewitching Powder?" Nan Ge''s tone carried a little anger.


    To have the chance to give High Lord a Bewitching Powder, that person must be very powerful.


    "Cough, cough." Yun Qian purposely avoided this question, not willing to bring up that woman, and changed the topic, "Did the Fox Queen send you here to find this sovereign?"


    "That''s right." Upon mentioning this matter, Nan Ge became extremely anxious, "That Nan Ye was shameless and despicable. After he knocked this subordinate out, he discovered that you were not here and immediately reported it to Empress. Empress is currently furious!"


    Nan Ye... Heh, did that fellow really think that he would just turn a blind eye to nothing and not care about anything else?


    It looked like this time, he had to clean up the mess himself!


    "High Lord, this matter should not be delayed. Let''s go back quickly!"

 C254

    Yun Qian regained his senses, and a trace of craftiness flashed past his eyes that were bright as the stars. His thin lips slightly parted as he said, "Go back first, pretend you didn''t see this sovereign.


    "High Lord, aren''t you coming back with me?" Nan Ge asked carefully, "Is there anything that has not been resolved?"


    "Yes."


    He still had to deal with that damned girl!


    With High Lord''s personality, if there wasn''t something urgent, he definitely wouldn''t have delayed the trip back to the Fox Clan.


    Therefore, Nan Ge continued to ask: "Do you need this subordinate''s help?"


    "No need."


    Yun Qian did not explain, so Nan Ge did not ask anymore, and only warned, "Then High Lord ¡­ You must be careful in all matters, and return as soon as possible.


    "Got it."


    After giving his orders, Nan Ge turned around and left.


    The terrain of this Clear Canyon was extremely complex, and it took Xi Ri several times to finally return to her original position. Seeing that Yun Qian was still standing firmly in place, she couldn''t help but feel happy in her heart.


    "Your Highness, I''m back." Xi Ruo lightly squatted down and took out a few green fruits from her pocket, "You should be hungry. There''s nothing edible in this mountain. Just a few fruits, you can make do with it."


    Yun Qian coldly glanced at her, "You finally remembered this sovereign after your meeting with that Little Phoenix?"


    From the tone, it was clear that she was quite arrogant.


    Xi Ruo smiled and said noncommittally, "Your Highness, are you jealous?"


    Then, she purposely teased: "That''s right, I was just parting with Rong Yu when I suddenly remembered, His Highness was still waiting for me here, if not, I would have stayed with Rong Yu for a while longer."


    After saying this, Xi Ruo muttered to herself for a moment. She was about to raise her eyes to look at Yun Qian''s arrogant and lovable eyes, but in the next second, she was suddenly thrown onto the ground by him, unable to move.


    Panic filled his heart, and he ¡­ How did he suddenly move again?


    Xi Ruo wanted to raise her hand, but her wrist was firmly grasped by his big hand. Her exquisite face was looking down at her from above, and the corner of her mouth had a hint of a smile that seemed to say that she was leaving.


    Her thin lips slightly opened, and that slightly magnetic voice slowly rang out next to Xiruo''s ear, "Is it fun?"


    The voice was clearly very pleasant to the ear, but it gave off a creepy feeling.


    "Demon Sovereign, you ¡­ When did you release this Bewitching Powder? " Su Xiruo changed the topic and asked. After looking away for a bit, he obviously felt guilty.


    It''s over, it''s all over. Now, he felt like he had gone too far!


    "Is it important?" Yun Qian asked casually.


    "That... Demon Sovereign, if you have something to say, we can talk about it properly. " Xi Ruo bit her lower lip. She immediately thought of ten thousand ways to escape, but none of them seemed to be useful.


    "Speak properly?" The corner of Yun Qian''s lips curled up as he smiled mockingly, "I would really like to hear about the relationship between you and that Little Phoenix. Tell me about it."


    "Then... I made it up. " Xi Ruo said casually.


    It''s fine to tease him, but is this guy done for?


    Yun Qian obviously did not believe her words, "Didn''t you say you were enjoying yourself just now? Go on. "


    What was there to say about this? Xiruo slightly lowered her head and didn''t say a word. Her heart was flustered to the extreme.


    Seeing that she didn''t say anything, Yun Qian''s thin lips lightly pressed against her small face. The short distance between them only increased the panic in Xi Ruo''s heart.


    Was this guy doing it on purpose? No, to be exact, he was taking his revenge!


    Xiruo hastily closed her eyes, waiting for his icy lips to cover her face. She only felt that time slowly passed by.


    Who knew that after a while, without even waiting for a kiss, he heard Yun Qian''s mocking chuckle. Opening his eyes, he said, "Rest assured, this sovereign is not interested in a woman like you who goes through the motions!"


    Did this girl think that he was going to kiss her?


    How naive!


    Realizing that she had been played by him, Xiruo was immediately enraged. Just as she raised her palm, she was grabbed by Yun Qian.


    "You still want to hit me?"


    Looking at his deep black eyes, if she knew that this time, she definitely wouldn''t be able to easily escape from his hands, she would immediately reveal a pitiful appearance.


    "Let go of me, you''re hurting me ¡­" Xi Ruo''s voice sounded soft and weak, rather pitiful, "I am. Why are you so fierce after leaving you here for just a moment?"


    And almost cause him to die from the Six Rank Spiritual Beast''s slap!


    Even though Yun Qian did not eat her words, he couldn''t help but release his hand. He said lightly, "Don''t use such a sympathetic tone to speak to this noble one."


    His meaning was very simple. He did not want to play this game, but what he said was very different from what he did.


    Su Xiruo was certain that this was what he was going to do, and continued, "Isn''t it because I wanted to help you find the Healing Drug that I entered the Clear Canyon alone in the middle of the night? It wasn''t easy to find some medicinal ingredients ¡­"


    After she finished speaking, Xi Ruo intentionally took out a few medicinal herbs from the Storage Ring. With a glance, Yun Qian concluded that they were indeed medicinal herbs used to treat external injuries, but judging by their color, they probably weren''t picked in the past two days.


    This girl wouldn''t blush even if she spoke lies?


    But why was he not angry at all?


    After pausing for a moment, Xi Ruo continued: "I also wanted to come back earlier, but I''m not familiar with this Clear Canyon either. It''s been lost so many times, I almost couldn''t find it ¡­ "I ¡­ I accidentally got injured."


    After saying this, Xi Ruo gently lifted up her skirt, revealing the wound on her lower leg that she had just forged.


    She lowered her head slightly and deliberately squeezed out a few tears, secretly rejoicing in her heart.


    "Your Highness." Her watery eyes looked completely innocent, and I felt pity for her, "In order to find these medicinal herbs, I''ve already suffered many grievances. Yet now you still want to anger me, my heart really feels very uncomfortable."


    Just as she finished speaking, she started sobbing softly. A few teardrops hung on her exquisite and peerless face, causing people to feel heartache.


    "Stop crying!" Yun Qian''s delicate eyebrows knitted together, interrupting her words. Immediately, she felt a sense of unhappiness in her heart.


    He didn''t know why, but he clearly knew that this girl was intentionally putting on an act in front of him. However, when he saw her crying, his heart became numb and he was unable to calm down for a long time.


    "Your Highness, why are you still mad at me?" Su Xiruo had a pitiful look on his face as he lowered his head and sobbed softly.


    "Don''t push your luck!" Yun Qian unhappily opened his mouth to speak, but his heart was a little flustered. "Don''t think that just a tiny bit of self-righteous kindness would be enough to move this sovereign."


    This time, Xixi didn''t reply on purpose. She gently buried her head between her legs and sobbed softly, not saying a single word.


    "Don''t think that you can gain this senior''s sympathy just like that."


    "Speak!"


    Seeing that she still remained silent, Yun Qian''s heart was slightly agitated.


    No, how could he feel heartache for this woman? It had to be known that she was the one who had hurt him. Everything that had happened before was just a play by her!


    After trying his best to calm down his Azure Feather, Yun Qian slowly got up, intending to ignore this woman who was deliberately putting on an act.


    Unexpectedly, he had only taken two steps, yet he still couldn''t suppress his temper. Turning around, he squatted down and wiped the tears off Xiruo''s face with his slender finger bones. His slightly rough movements seemed to be a bit unwilling.


    His thin lips slightly parted as he coldly said, "This sovereign orders you to withdraw all of your fake tears!"


    Then, she gently raised her head and purposely said, "Since Your Highness hates me, why do you need to care about me?"


    That weak and pitiful voice seemed to be able to move a person''s heart.


    Yun Qian sighed helplessly. His face was still as cold as ever as his tone was indifferent: "When did this noble one say that I hate you?"


    Although the voice sounded cold, it was clearly much softer.


    Suddenly, Xi Ruo''s heart was filled with joy. Turning sorrow into joy, she deliberately asked, "So, does this mean that Your Highness likes me?"


    "No." He denied it.

 C255

    Xi Ruo teased, "A person who says things that don''t mean things will usually not be too pleasing to the eye."


    Seeing that she had retracted her tears, Yun Qian was too lazy to continue pestering her. "I don''t have time to waste on you here."


    After saying that, he turned around and left. Xiruo hurriedly pulled his fluttering sleeves and started to act pitiful again.


    "Your Highness, don''t go! I''m injured in the leg and I can''t walk. If you leave, I''ll be trapped here by myself."


    Yun Qian slowly turned his head, only to see a wound on her lower leg. The wound was badly mutilated, and one could even vaguely see the bone. From the looks of it, it was indeed a serious injury.


    Xi Ruo slightly lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She looked as if she had been wronged for a second and was about to cry again.


    His fingers were curled tight. He swore that this would be the last time he would meddle with this woman''s business!


    As a result, he gently brandished his finger bones. As the warm green Spiritual Strength gathered at the center of his palm, just as the finger bones were about to reach the wound on Xiruo''s leg, they instantly discovered something strange.


    At the same time, Xiruo grabbed his wrist, as if she had also discovered something, "You ¡­ You are actually Heavenly Ranked Physician? "


    When did this guy become a physician, and when I found out myself, he was already a Heavenly Ranked Physician?


    Yun Qian did not answer her question. With a slight frown, she shook off her hand. "This wound of yours is fake."


    As a physician, he could immediately tell that the vicious wound on Xi Ro''s leg had obviously been forged by her!


    "I ¡­" For a moment, Xi Ruo didn''t know how to explain.


    He originally wanted to lie to this fellow who didn''t know any medical skills, who knew that he was Heavenly Ranked Physician?


    Thus, Xiruo joked, "It''s just a joke, don''t be angry, Your Highness."


    "Shut up! Do not speak to this sovereign again!" Yun Qian interrupted her. She knew that this girl was extremely cunning, so she didn''t say anything more. She flicked her sleeves, turned around, and instantly disappeared from Xi Ruo''s line of sight.


    "Your Highness!"


    After seeing him leave in such a hurry, she didn''t even know that an item had dropped from his sleeve.


    As a result, Xiruo stood up and took a step forward to pick up the item that Yun Qian had dropped. It was a Azure Feather.


    Unfortunately, the Azure Feather actually sent a letter over right then, which allowed her to see everything clearly: President, the Emperor of Profound Yin Empire has invited this subordinate to enter the palace tomorrow. This subordinate is worried that he might have doubts about this subordinate''s identity.


    His name was Mo Yu, which meant the president of Profound Yin Empire.


    Suddenly, Xi Ruo guessed that this Mo Yu might not be the real Mo Yu at all. It was very likely that Yun Qian had specially found someone to be his substitute.


    However, there was a problem with the Profound Yin Empire Emperor himself, and Yun Qian might not even know of this matter.


    Looks like, this Azure Feather should be more important, why not make a favor of his own and run towards the Fox Clan.


    Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Shengge Hall.


    Nan Ge nodded and stood there silently for his Highness. Fox Queen was enraged as a resounding slap landed on her face.


    "Nan Ge, do you really not know where His Highness is, or are you deliberately hiding this from me?" The Fox Queen glanced at her coldly and asked, his tone overbearing.


    Nan Ge repeated himself with the same words: "Empress, this subordinate really does not know where High Lord is."


    Since the High Lord had already said it, he would treat it as if he had never seen him before, then no matter what, he had to keep his mouth shut. Otherwise, if he leaked it, it might bring him a lot of trouble.


    The Fox Queen snorted coldly, as if he didn''t believe her words. "You''d better tell me the truth. If I find out that you''re hiding anything, I''ll take your life!"


    "Don''t think that just because you don''t speak, that I can''t do anything about you. I''ll ask you one more time, Your Highness, were you let go or not?"


    "No." Nan Ge faintly spat out these two words.


    Fox Queen released his hand in anger and ordered coldly: "Men, slap my face until Nan Ge speaks the truth!"


    Did this Nan Ge really take her for a fool?


    "Yes sir!"


    The two little fox demons beside Fox Queen had long been unable to hold back. They took a step forward and purposely said: "Protector Nan Ge, sorry for the offense!"


    With that said, a slap landed on Nan Ge''s face, causing a bit of blood to leak out of the corner of his mouth.


    These two disciples were disciples belonging to Fox Queen. They were well aware that more than half of the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan were in the hands of the Empress and the Patriarch, on the other hand, did not have any actual power.


    Thus, they did not need to be afraid of the protectors by the patriarch''s side. After all, they still had the Empress supporting them!


    The two disciples showed no mercy at all. One slap after another, landed on Nan Ge''s delicate face.


    "What a tough slave." The Fox Queen saw that Nan Ge did not have any intention to let go, and became even more flustered and exasperated, "Hit him a little harder for me, until his face is ruined!"


    "Yes sir!"


    The two disciples accepted the order, and shot Nan Ge a mocking smile: "Protector Nan Ge, what''s the point of this? As long as you admit your wrongs to Empress and give me a look, Empress will definitely think very highly of you! "


    "Heh." Nan Ge only snorted coldly, looking down on him.


    "You don''t know what''s good for you!" Seeing the situation, the two disciples were about to continue slapping their faces, but were interrupted by a cold voice.


    "Stop!"


    That tone was as cold as iron, and it carried an imposing aura. The two disciples couldn''t help but shiver in fear when they saw Yun Qian slowly step into Shengge Hall.


    "High Lord ¡­" Seeing that Yun Qian had returned, Nan Ge became more at ease.


    As long as High Lord was safe, she had nothing to worry about.


    Yun Qian''s dark and cold eyes did not contain a trace of warmth. His thin lips parted as he asked in a faint voice, "The two of you just said that you have no status by following me. Are you serious?"


    That seemingly lazy tone, however, gave rise to a chill in their hearts and sent chills down their spines.


    The two disciples hurriedly kneeled down, and did not dare to speak loudly out of fear: "High Lord, please forgive us, this subordinate is only following Empress''s orders ¡­ Just teach Protector Nan Ge a lesson. "


    If that was the case, the Patriarch would have nothing to say.


    "When will the people beside this sovereign be taught a lesson?" Unexpectedly, Yun Qian did not give him any face as he questioned him coldly, "Do you still have this sovereign in your eyes?"


    "High Lord, your subordinate was wrong." The two disciples pleaded for mercy.


    At this time, the Fox Queen spoke up for them: "Yun Qian, I let them do it, they were merely following orders."


    The corner of Yun Qian''s mouth slightly rose, revealing a slightly mocking smile: "Royal Mother, these two are disciples, yet they attacked to teach the protectors a lesson. They have already turned the tables on the honored ones, the two disciples do not understand the inferiority, and the Royal Mother does not understand either?"


    "You ¡­" Fox Queen was stunned and for a moment, he was rendered speechless.


    Yun Qian ignored the Fox Queen and ordered coldly, "Men, drag these two bastards out and kill them."


    "Yes."


    "Please spare me, please spare me ¡­" Following that, the sounds of begging continued.


    Fox Queen seemed to be angry, seeing that the two of them were about to be dragged out, he shouted coldly to stop them, "Stop, without my order, I want to see who dares to make a move!"


    With a provocative smile, Yun Qian drew his sword from the guard''s body. With a twist of his sword, he instantly slashed at the necks of the two disciples, sealing their throats.


    The two disciples were lying in a pool of blood in front of Fox Queen.


    "I dare."


    Those two words were simple, but there was no doubt about it.


    Since no one dared to make a move, he would do it himself. It would save him a lot of trouble!


    The surrounding disciples trembled in fear, not even daring to make a sound. They were afraid that if they were to vent their anger on the clan leader, they would lose their lives.


    Most of the disciples secretly admired their little Patriarch, who actually dared to openly go against the Empress.


    "Yun Qian, you ¡­" Fox Queen was so angry that his body was trembling.


    She was not angry because two of her disciples had died, she was only angry. This Yun Qian fellow, did not place her orders in his eyes at all, and actually wanted to disobey her!

 C256

    As for Yun Qian, he did not necessarily want to kill these two disciples. It was just that if he continued to tolerate it, it would only cause the Fox Queen to grow stronger. He would think of himself as a soft persimmon that he could pinch.


    Therefore, he insisted on taking out his Demon Sovereign''s dignity to suppress everything!


    "Yun Qian, you''re too presumptuous!" Fox Queen''s finger bones were tightly curled. He knew that Yun Qian doing this was ruthlessly slapping her face.


    At this time, Yun Qian''s tone slightly softened, leaving each other a way out, "Since Royal Mother is also unable to differentiate between the inferior and inferior, then we will naturally let this son solve it for you. In the future, you don''t need to trouble yourself with such difficult matters."


    The words sounded comprehensive, but the meaning behind it was that Fox Queen should not be so nosy.


    Fox Queen snorted coldly. Even though he was flustered and exasperated, Yun Qian''s attitude had softened up to the point. Moreover, if he were to punish the Patriarch because of two small disciples, it would really be unjustifiable.


    At that moment, the Fox Queen could only give up. "Forget it, all of you can leave. I have something to discuss with His Highness alone."


    "Yes."


    Thus, all the disciples of the Inner Palace left. The Fox Queen casually sat on the seat of honor and asked: "Tell me honestly, where have you been these past two days?"


    She wanted to see just how Yun Qian would explain himself this time around.


    Yun Qian had already thought of a reason long ago, so he explained in a composed manner: "That day, I suddenly had an eye attack, and accidentally got injured by a Seventh Rank Vicious Beasts. I should have been in the palace recuperating from my injuries in seclusion."


    "Mm. This is something I know." The Fox Queen wanted to continue listening and asked, "And then?"


    "While I was in closed-door training, I suddenly felt a familiar sensation around the palace. I knew that the Poison Sovereign was around Spirit Beast Mountain Range." Yun Qian subconsciously took out Xiruo as a shield, and put on a serious expression:


    "Before this, Poison Sovereign stole the Profound Ice Stone s from the Mermaid, so I wanted to take them back, so I went after Poison Sovereign in secret."


    This reason sounded reasonable, so it should be enough.


    "Where''s the Profound Ice Stone?" Fox Queen asked?


    Yun Qian said as he nodded his head slightly, "This son is useless. Previously, the Vicious Beasts had heavily injured me, so I was unable to take it back."


    The Fox Queen raised her delicate eyebrows as disbelief could be seen from between her brows, "Yun Qian, you didn''t intentionally let that girl off did you?"


    "Nope." Yun Qian''s expression was cold and detached, "Su Xiruo and I have long cut off our mortal ties, from now on, we have nothing but hatred for her!"


    This tone did not sound like it was in the least bit emotional.


    "It''s good that you can think of it that way." Fox Queen smiled, his tone became more serious, "I just wanted to remind you, don''t forget, you and Ming Ge are already engaged."


    She was indirectly telling Yun Qian that since she had an engagement with the Mermaid, she would treat Ming Ge wholeheartedly.


    After all, the Mermaid Clan was not easy to deal with, if they accidentally offend them, it would be troublesome!


    "Got it." Yun Qian did not mind.


    "Whatever, since you''re injured, go back to your Meteorite Pavilion and rest up." Fox Queen did not ask any further, nor did he have any more questions.


    "Yes." Yun Qian only replied with one word.


    But in reality, even though he was previously severely injured by the Vicious Beasts, after the night had passed, and after Su Xiruo had smeared "poison" on his wound, his injuries had basically completely healed.


    [It seems that girl didn''t really want to poison me to death, right?]


    Just as Yun Qian was about to turn around and leave, a disciple hurried in from outside the hall. He knelt down and reported, "Patriarch, Poison Sovereign is here to see you."


    Yun Qian knit her brows as she thought to herself, ''What tricks is that girl trying to pull this time?''


    Fox Queen revealed a surprised face and could not help but ask: "Su Xiruo, why did she come to see Yun Qian?"


    "Poison Sovereign said yes, there is something that I need to return to the Patriarch." The disciple answered truthfully.


    You have something to return to me? But yesterday, he didn''t give that girl anything.


    Immediately, Yun Qian became alert and subconsciously touched his sleeve, immediately becoming startled.


    Oh no, the Azure Feather that sent the fake Mo Yu message disappeared. That girl, could she be here to return my Azure Feather?


    However, his identity as Mercenary Guild Guild Master had never been exposed to the Fox Queen before, and he did not want to be exposed either. Now, if the girl were to return the Azure Feather back to him, wouldn''t it be natural for the Fox Queen to know about everything?


    Even if they didn''t know, they would still have their suspicions.


    "Since it''s a return, then bring us to see her." Fox Queen slowly stood up. He was curious in his heart, just what did that girl want to return to Yun Qian.


    Thus, the two of them left Shengge Hall together. Su Xiruo waited outside the hall.


    One day, she was going to cut this Fox Queen apart.


    The Fox Queen seemed to have sensed Su Xiruo''s hostility towards him, and took the initiative to speak up, "Poison Sovereign is here to welcome you, I hope to welcome you!"


    Xi Ruo coldly snorted, she did not plan to care about her and directly said to Yun Qian: "Demon Sovereign, this sovereign has come to return the goods, you ¡­"


    At this moment, Xi Ruo''s eyes met with Yun Qian''s gaze. Her expression was calm, and her eyes were cold and profound. She slightly shook her head, as though she was hinting at something.


    Could it be that this fellow didn''t want him to return the Azure Feather to him in front of the Fox Queen?


    Fox Queen took the lead and asked: "Since it''s a return, then Poison Sovereign will bring the item over."


    Su Xiruo revealed a disdainful smile, and said coldly: "This sovereign has come to return the Demon Sovereign''s items, why should I show it to you?"


    After that, he pulled up Yun Qian''s sleeves and said leisurely: "Demon Sovereign, follow me, I will return it to you alone."


    Hearing this, Fox Queen became flustered and exasperated, she smirked: "Poison Sovereign, you are the Honorable Master of the Humans, please do not be delusional enough to provoke our Orc Clan, this palace has a deep relationship with Yun Qian and her son, what is there that cannot be seen?"


    Su Xiruo interrupted her: "I am only quietly coming here to return an item, I do not like noisy women like you in Fox Queen. Moreover, do you want me to show it to you, is that your freedom?"


    She wasn''t afraid of the Fox Queen right now, and there was no need to give her any face. In terms of status, she wasn''t any lower than her!


    "You!" Fox Queen was so angry that his face suddenly changed, "You barged into my Fox Clan realm, and intentionally provoked me?"


    Su Xiruo did not deny it and smiled: "I will leave after returning the items. I don''t care about this crappy place of yours."


    After she finished speaking, she didn''t bother to look at Fox Queen''s face which was like a dish, and directly pulled Yun Qian to a place where there was no one else.


    After Yun Qian dismissed his followers, he said indifferently, "Give me back my things!"


    "Demon Sovereign, I have never seen anyone who is as confident as you!" Su Xiruo wanted to purposely put on a relationship, "Shouldn''t you be begging me instead?"


    Helpless, Yun Qian''s tone softened a little. "That item is extremely important to me. If you return it, I will owe you a favor."


    He still spoke in a condescending manner, not showing any signs of begging.


    Su Xiruo sighed lightly, threw the Azure Feather back to him, and teased on purpose: "I say, Your Highness, are the people beside you all Fox Queen''s spies? Why do you intend to dismiss all of them even when you return them with something? "


    Although Xi Ruo spoke with a joking tone, there were still many doubts in her heart regarding this matter. She wanted to know the truth.


    "It has nothing to do with you." Yun Qian coldly replied.


    "You." Xi Ruo whispered, "You really don''t know what''s good for you."


    Then, Xi Ruo pretended to be indifferent as she reminded Mo Yu, "That''s right, that Emperor of Profound Yin Empire is extremely cunning and is not a good person to say. If your subordinates really went to the Imperial Palace, it might very well be a Hongmen Banquet.


    After saying so much, Yun Qian''s expression remained calm. She calmly said, "Don''t meddle in other people''s business."

 C257

    This woman knew too much!


    However, although Yun Qian seemed calm on the surface, he listened attentively to every word that Xiruo said.


    He naturally knew that Lin Chuya letting Mo Yu enter the palace this time around was definitely a great feast.


    "I was just reminding you out of good intentions." Su Xiruo snorted coldly, feeling a little exasperated.


    "Matters that you shouldn''t care about, it''s better for you to not interfere in them." Yun Qian interrupted her without a trace of emotion.


    She kindly reminded him, but he actually had such a cold and indifferent attitude.


    After a pause, Yun Qian continued, "This sovereign will return the favor this time."


    "No need." On the other hand, Su Xiruo casually rejected it, and said with his head lowered, "Just treat it as me blaming you for killing Rong Yu previously. I''ll repay you with a favor, there''s no need to return it to me."


    Was this woman trying to make him angry by purposely bringing this up?


    "Yes." However, Yun Qian did not say much, nor did he say a word to stop him. He turned around and left.


    As Su Xiruo watched his departing figure, he could not help but scold him inwardly, "What an ungrateful fellow."


    Forget it, let''s not bother with him for now.


    At this time, Nan Ye happened to have returned from outside the Fox Clan, and met with Su Xiruo.


    He was worried that the Fox Queen would ask him why he was injured, so he did not immediately return to the Fox Clan. Instead, he stayed in the outside world to recuperate for a full day and night before returning.


    If he did not come back now, the Empress might become suspicious.


    Su Xiruo''s gaze unintentionally landed on Nan Ye''s body, and suddenly, he discovered that something was amiss.


    This fellow, seemed to have been severely injured, and had even been injured by his own Extreme Wild Seal?


    Therefore, Su Xiruo stood in front of Nan Ye and blocked him.


    "May I ask who you are?" Su Xiruo took the initiative to speak.


    Nan Ye guessed that the little girl''s strength was not low and her identity was definitely not simple, so he answered: "I am the great protector by the side of Demon Sovereign, Nan Ye."


    Nan Ye''s tone sounded quite polite.


    The head protector next to the Demon Sovereign, and then assassinate the Demon Sovereign?


    He really did not expect that Yun Qian''s side could be described as a four-sided ambush. There was danger concealed everywhere!


    Su Xiruo could not help but laugh: "Why do I feel that you look like the assassin who tried to assassinate Demon Sovereign yesterday?"


    Nan Ye''s face immediately darkened: Who are you? You will pay the price for slandering me! "


    "Slander?" Su Xiruo showed no mercy, and ripped off his clothes. On Nan Ye''s chest, revealed a sinister yet familiar bloody scar, which was precisely left behind by the Extreme Wild Seal.


    She was extremely familiar with her own Spiritual Skill!


    Xi Ruo''s voice was incomparably cold: "You are truly audacious. You even dared to assassinate my Demon Sovereign. I wonder if my Fox Queen and my Demon Sovereign know about this?"


    Nan Ye flung Su Xiruo''s hand away. He was obviously feeling guilty: "Don''t spout nonsense."


    "Alright, then follow me, I will bring you to His Highness and the Fox Queen to ask them!" Su Xiruo grabbed his wrist, then suddenly, he remembered something.


    No, that''s not right, since Nan Ye was so arrogant, he dared to assassinate Yun Qian like that, maybe the Fox Queen knew about this too!


    If this fellow were to quibble and become addicted, it would also be a great danger to stay by Yun Qian''s side.


    But, with just the Extreme Wild Seal, perhaps no one would believe his guess, as long as Nan Ye made a few excuses, his evidence would not be established!


    "Let go, don''t force my hand!" Seeing that she was not willing to let him go, Nan Ye fiercely struck out with his palm.


    Su Xiruo''s gaze turned cold. The scorching hot Spiritual Strength was able to distort space and send Nan Ye flying with a single palm.


    Following that, Su Xiruo walked forward and grabbed his arm.


    With a loud "kacha" sound, the bones shattered and Nan Ye''s miserable scream came into his ears.


    "Ah ¡­"


    However, Su Xiruo was not satisfied, as this kind of dangerous person, he could not stay by Yun Qian''s side.


    "You ¡­ "Just who are you to dare ask about my business?" Nan Ye seemed to still be unresigned.


    "You''re already dead, and you still dare to be stubborn?" Su Xiruo coldly snorted, and his Can Meng left its sheath as he coldly spoke.


    "I am the great protector of the Fox Clan, you dare to kill me, aren''t you afraid of offending the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?" Nan Ye''s finger bones were curled tight. Although he said it out loud, he still felt guilty.


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth lifted slightly as she gave a coquettish smile, "I even dare to offend your Patriarch. Just a mere Protector, even if I kill you, what can Fox Clan do to me?"


    This head protector was really stubborn. What kind of reason would he have to kill him?


    "You ¡­"


    With that, Su Xiruo''s dagger pierced into his shoulder, causing him to be unable to move.


    Nan Ye was also furious, he did not dare say anything, even though he clearly had the strength of a 9-star Spirit Sovereign, he was actually killed by this girl in one move.


    Who in the world was this girl? How could she be so powerful?


    At that moment, a cold female voice was heard, "Stop!"


    He only saw Fox Queen dressed in purple robes appearing in front of Su Xiruo with a gloomy expression, with Yun Qian following closely behind him.


    Seeing Nan Ye being pushed down to the ground by the little girl, with one of his arms crippled and his shoulder covered in blood, Fox Queen was immediately furious.


    This girl, really did not know her place, and actually bullied their Fox Clan, did she even put her, a Fox Queen, in her eyes?


    Su Xiruo caught a glimpse of the two of them from the corner of his eyes, he acted as if he did not hear the Fox Queen''s words, and fiercely smashed his palm into Nan Ye''s chest, sending him flying.


    With that palm, she had used all her strength. Even if she didn''t die, she could at least seriously injure Nan Ye.


    Nan Ye spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, after which a Real Body appeared and transformed into a Seven Tailed Fox, which fainted.


    "Su Xiruo, I already told you to stop, but you still dared to hurt my Fox Clan disciple in front of me. Fox Queen was almost angered to the point of exploding, her sharp long whip carried a powerful force as it whipped towards Xiruo''s face.


    Xi Ruo''s expression did not change. She firmly grabbed onto Fox Queen''s whip and coldly stared at Fox Queen with a ghost-like expression.


    You still want to hit her? Did she really think that she was the Su Xiruo that was slaughtered by others a year ago?


    Today was different from the past!


    Su Xiruo gathered his strength and swung the whip, causing Fox Queen to retreat two steps.


    "Fox-Queen." Su Xiruo''s tone was ridiculing to the extreme, "Everything needs to be clearly understood before a conclusion is made, doesn''t it?"


    As Nan Ye was heavily injured, Yun Qian secretly rejoiced, thinking that he didn''t need to do it himself now.


    Fox Queen''s finger bones curled tightly, but he was flustered and exasperated: "Su Xiruo, you maliciously injured my clan. This debt, my Fox Clan will not end with you! "Yun Qian ¡­"


    Fox Queen raised his eyebrows, his eyes signalling Yun Qian for him to make a move.


    Yun Qian calmly said, "Don''t be impatient, Royal Mother. You might as well listen to the explanation first."


    Fox Queen shot him a vicious glance. No one knew how angry he was.


    Su Xiruo thought that if he were to directly speak of the truth, the Fox Queen might not believe him, and he might even feel that his involvement in Yun Qian''s matter had not yet ended his relationship with her!


    Thus, Xi Ruo casually said: "Yesterday, this noble one had unintentionally met Nan Ye and was taken advantage of by him. After just meeting him, he spoke rudely to this sovereign.


    "What evidence do you have to prove that Nan Ye took liberties with you yesterday?" Fox Queen snorted, not believing him.


    Su Xiruo disagreed: "What about Nan Ye, the Extreme Wild Seal that this noble one left behind yesterday, look for yourself!"


    "Hmph." Fox Queen then went forward to take a look, only to see that on the Seven Tailed Fox''s chest, there was indeed a brand.


    The brand looked extremely strange. It was actually a combination of yin and yang. It looked a bit frightening!


    "Did you see that clearly?" Su Xiruo saw that she was silent and asked casually.


    Fox Queen raised her eyebrows. She still did not believe him: "What are you trying to do, what do you want to say? Just based on these scars, what can you say?"

 C258

    "I also said that you were maliciously accusing Nan Ye." Fox Queen said in an overbearing tone, "Unless you can come up with other evidence."


    Su Xiruo''s gaze then landed on Yun Qian''s body, pointed at Yun Qian and said: "Demon Sovereign has also seen it with his own eyes, Fox Queen, just ask your son."


    After he finished speaking, Su Xiruo threw Yun Qian a hopeful look.


    The look in his eyes seemed to tell him, Help me till I''m full, and just treat it as you repaying me for my previous favor!


    Fox Queen snorted and asked with a smile on his face, "Yun Qian, is it?"


    A trace of nervousness flashed through Su Xiruo''s heart, and after a long while, Yun Qian finally said: "That''s right."


    Xi Ruo let out a small sigh of relief, thinking, at least this guy has some conscience, and helped her round it.


    "Yun Qian, you must tell Royal Mother the truth." Fox Queen looked at Yun Qian with unwillingness. He was unwilling to let go of that girl so easily.


    "The truth." He was concise and did not explain anything.


    He could be considered to be repaying the favor for this woman, but he had also helped himself!


    "Fox-Queen." Su Xiruo could not help but smile, and said: "Your son has already said that, could it be, that you don''t even believe your own son''s words?"


    "Heh." Fox Queen also reluctantly opened his mouth, "Forget it, since this is the case, then forget it, let''s just write off this matter."


    At this time, Fox Queen changed the subject. "However, there''s one more thing. Should we settle the score properly?"


    When Fox Queen said this, Ming Ge coincidentally rushed over. He was standing not far away, listening to their conversation while smiling without saying a word.


    "What is it?"


    The Fox Queen did not keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "I heard that before this, the Poison Sovereign had forcefully barged into the Mermaid race and took away their treasure, the Profound Ice Stone s, which was in the sea realm."


    So Fox Queen was doing this, Su Xiruo could only smile. He roughly knew what she wanted to say to him, and did not display any signs of fear.


    "Now that the Mermaid and I are married, my Fox Clan has no choice but to handle this matter." Fox Queen''s tone was full of confidence, "No one from the Mermaid Clan has suffered too many casualties, I will not bother with the Venerable One for now, I hope the Venerable One can return the Profound Ice Stone first!"


    Su Xiruo only thought that her words were somewhat funny. "Fox-Queen is really boasting shamelessly."


    "What do you mean?" Fox Queen slightly frowned, somewhat displeased.


    Su Xiruo glanced at her and leisurely explained: "This noble one barged into the Mermaid s, because she, Ming Ge, killed my Poison Sect disciples first, and took away the Profound Ice Stone, it was to give the Mermaid s a warning. Let them and even their Fox Clan know, my Poison Sect is not some soft persimmon, and I''m not that easy to provoke.


    Fox Queen''s face became darker and darker, while Yun Qian stood at the side, listening indifferently. He couldn''t help but smile, thinking that this girl was rather interesting.


    However, Xi Ruo completely disregarded the burning anger of the Fox Queen and added, "If you want to take back the Profound Ice Stone, it''s not impossible, it''s just that you have to agree to this sovereign''s conditions."


    "What condition?" Fox Queen endured his anger and asked.


    Su Xiruo smiled, and her gaze suddenly fell on Yun Qian''s body. Yun Qian immediately shifted his gaze away, not looking at her.


    "I want Demon Sovereign to cancel the marriage with the Mermaid s, and then, marry me."


    This short sentence caused everyone present to be shocked.


    Ming Ge, who was standing not far from them, was initially smiling, but after hearing what she said, his face immediately darkened.


    [This woman is the one who boasts shamelessly!]


    Ming Ge was immediately angered to death, he rushed forward and glared at Su Xiruo, and without saying a word, he slapped him hard.


    However, before Ming Ge''s palm had even landed, it had already been grasped by Xi Ruo.


    The next second, there was only a "pa" sound!


    Xi Ruo turned her hand and slapped Ming Ge hard.


    "Ah ¡­" Suddenly being slapped, Ming Ge felt as if she had been slapped silly, she held onto her red and swollen face, and her beautiful face lost color, "Su Xiruo, you dare hit me!"


    "You shameless woman, forget it. You are trying to seduce someone else''s fiance, why are you doing it!" Ming Ge scolded angrily. It seemed like he would feel better this way.


    How dare he ask Yun Qian to cancel the engagement with her in front of her? This woman was truly shameless!


    "I hit you because you attacked me first." Su Xiruo acted as if he was righteous and confident, "Could it be, that if you hit me, I will have to stand on the spot and be slapped on the face by you?"


    "That''s because you''re shameless, you should be slapped!" Ming Ge''s beautiful eyes were opened wide as she said coldly, "Quickly hand the Profound Ice Stone back to me!"


    Seeing her angry face, Su Xiruo was actually happy in his heart and continued to tease: "I have already stated my condition, if you want the Profound Ice Stone, we can exchange it for equal!"


    Her attitude was very resolute and she did not give in at all.


    However, when Yun Qian heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.


    In this woman''s heart, was he the same as a Profound Ice Stone?


    Then, Ming Ge turned around and pitifully pleaded for help: "Empress, Demon Sovereign, you must seek justice for me!"


    "Even in my Fox Clan, the Poison Sovereign is actually so arrogant." At this time, Fox Queen was also no longer willing to tolerate, "Then I won''t be reasonable today, if you don''t hand over the Profound Ice Stone today, you can forget about leaving!"


    With that, the Fox Queen revealed a sinister look, and the gloomy and cold Spiritual Strength around him started to climb continuously, rising rapidly. The surrounding Fox Clan disciples also took out their weapons, ready to make a move anytime.


    At the same time, Ming Ge was fully prepared, and his eyes were filled with hatred.


    Su Xiruo laughed disdainfully, she had long been waiting for Fox Queen''s words, she was just worrying about not being able to teach this woman a lesson.


    He had to avenge his son, after all. How about today?


    Even if she was going to risk her life, she would make this woman die a horrible death!


    "All of you, step down." Right at this moment, Yun Xiao''s lips slightly parted.


    Just as Fox Queen revealed a surprised expression, asking him if he wanted to protect this woman, Yun Qingyun lightly stepped forward, approached Xiruo, and then lightly added two words: "I''ll do it."


    Fox Queen could not help but reveal a satisfied smile. It seemed that Yun Qian''s hatred for this woman was not shallow.


    Xi Ruo''s cold eyes glanced at him, her tone was still cold, "Don''t think that it''s you, then I won''t dare to kill you!"


    When she finished speaking, the Can Meng was out of its scabbard, burning hot on one side and cold on the other. That strange and berserk Spiritual Strength circled around her body, and her eyes contained an additional killing intent.


    Yun Qian was expressionless as he brandished his blade. Even Xi Ruo was unable to discern the attribute of the Spiritual Strength that surrounded his body.


    The two equally bizarre Spiritual Strength s were still in confrontation, as if they could explode and break apart at any time!


    Suddenly, Yun Qian raised his head and saw Yun Qian''s thin lips moving slightly. His voice was very soft, but Xi Ruo could still hear him clearly: Capture me.


    Capture him? For a moment, it was as if Xiruo was amused by him. She lowered her voice and said, "Are you kidding me?"


    This time, Fox Queen was the one who started the provocation. As such, she also decided to make Fox Queen pay a heavy price.


    "Quick." He urged lightly, "Otherwise, this sovereign would be too lazy to help you!"


    Was this girl really reckless, wanting to use her own strength to fight against three Spirit God?


    Moreover, this was only the level of Fox Clan. In other people''s territory, wouldn''t she be afraid that she wouldn''t be able to escape?


    What a bold girl!


    Su Xiruo snorted, and pushed him back two steps with the back of his hand with a wave of force, and said coldly: "Who wants your help now?"


    This girl, not only did she not know what was good for her, she even didn''t know what was good for her!


    The atmosphere had once fallen into an awkward situation.


    Although Yun Qian did not want to help Su Xiruo, she had just helped him two great things. If he did not repay this favor, he would feel uncomfortable in his heart.


    Yet, this girl refused to accept his kindness!


    Just when the two of them didn''t know what to do next, a familiar voice called out, "Stop!"

 C259

    Su Xiruo turned his head, only to see Rong Yu shooting forward like an arrow towards her, firmly blocking in front of her. With a vigilant look at Yun Qian, he coldly swept his eyes over Ming Ge and Fox Queen, "Today, if any of you dare to touch her, you will be making an enemy out of me!"


    Becoming an enemy of Rong Yu meant becoming an enemy of Phoenix Clan.


    Seeing the situation, Fox Queen knew that he could not afford to offend her, and immediately revealed a smile, going up to her: "Today''s Fox Clan is really lively, even Youngest Prince has come, and is welcoming of you!"


    Rong Yu gave a cold snort and didn''t pay attention to her. Instead, he turned around, nervously holding Su Xiruo''s small hand and asked: "Xiruo, are you injured? Did they bully you? "


    In Yun Qian''s eyes, that scene was extremely glaring. Like a poisonous thorn, it stabbed into his heart and could no longer be pulled out.


    "I''m fine." Xiruo slowly let go of his hand, "Today, it''s my turn to teach them a lesson."


    Ming Ge was so angry that he scolded loudly: "With just you?"


    Su Xiruo coldly glanced at her and ridiculed: "How was the slap just now? Would you like to try a few more? "


    "You!" Ming Ge really wanted to rush up and beat her up.


    Rong Yu advised gently: "Xiruo, I know you want to teach them a lesson, but today, they have the advantage of numbers, and they''re also in the Fox Clan area, so we should just withdraw when we see something, right?"


    The reason he said this was because he was worried that Xiruo alone wouldn''t be able to defeat the three of them.


    Since Rong Yu had already spoken, then Xiruo could only agree. She fiercely swept her eyes across Fox Queen and Ming Ge, "Fine, for your sake, let''s not bother about them anymore. Let''s go, I''ll bring you to a place!"


    "Is Fox Clan something that you can come and go as you please?" However, Ming Ge was still unwilling and wanted to catch up.


    Rong Yu turned around, his originally clear eyes facing Ming Ge, became much sharper, and his tone became extremely cold: "Empress, I advise you to take care of this matter, if not, with today you have Fox Clan, who knows, one day, your Mermaid Clan will be affected, and at that time, it will be our personal grudge!"


    What he meant was, he wanted to openly provoke the Mermaid?


    Ming Ge was dumbstruck, he did not think that this young man who seemed to be gentle like jade would actually say such shocking words.


    Rong Yu also did not pay any more attention to them as he followed Su Xiruo to turn around and leave, disappearing within the Fox Clan realm.


    Looking at the two leaving figures, anger could be seen in Yun Qian''s eyes.


    He had kindly offered to help that woman just now, but she didn''t appreciate his help at all. On the other hand, the Little Phoenix had only spoken to her for a short while, and then she calmly left with the Little Phoenix?


    Heh, the little girl loved Rong Yu the most, right? She still boasted shamelessly about letting him marry her, was she humiliating herself?


    Or perhaps, when she said she wanted to marry him, it was just a joke.


    Could it be that she didn''t know that it was easy to make people take it seriously just because they were joking?


    As expected, the words of that girl couldn''t be trusted!


    "This Little Phoenix is really a bit of an eyesore." Ming Ge said coldly, his eyes full of hatred.


    Today, if not for the sudden appearance of Rong Yu, she would have taught him a lesson this time. Unfortunately, next time, who knows when she would have had the chance to do so.


    Following that, Yun Qian''s gaze fell upon the Seven-tailed Fox that was at the side. He ordered coldly, "Men, lock Nan Ye in the dungeon.


    Hearing that, the Fox Queen became anxious: "Yun Qian, why don''t you discuss this with the Royal Mother and decide on your own with him to punish this Nan Ye?"


    Following that, Fox Queen spoke up to persuade him, "Although this Nan Ye has done some wrong things, in the past year, he has done his best for you.


    "Royal Mother." "This matter is of great concern. Since Nan Ye is now this sovereign''s subordinate, then it should be left to this sovereign to personally deal with him, right?"


    That noncommittal tone of his was as if he could only say, "Don''t meddle in other people''s business."


    "You ¡­"


    "Take him away." Without waiting for the Fox Queen to speak, Yun Qian gave the order to take Nan Ye down.


    Fox Queen snorted coldly, he did not say a word, but was secretly aggrieved in his heart.


    Her son was becoming more and more disobedient to her!


    After leaving the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan realm, Xi Ruo and Rong Yu landed their feet in a small city at the border of the Dragon Seal Empire.


    "Xiruo, next time don''t run into the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan alone." The moment he thought about what happened just now, Rong Yu''s anger flared up once more, "That Fox Clan, not a single one was good."


    Of course, it was the same for the Mermaid s!


    Su Xiruo laughed noncommittally, he did not care about what happened just now, and asked him: "Alright, let''s not talk about the unfortunate matter anymore, Rong Yu, why did you suddenly appear in Fox Clan?"


    "I rushed over when I was still in the vicinity of the Fox Clan and felt your Spiritual Strength''s fluctuations." Rong Yu blurted out, "Luckily you''re fine, otherwise I would have had no end with them!"


    "So, do you want to come with me to a exciting place?" Xi Ruo probed.


    "Where?" Rong Yu''s curiosity was piqued.


    "Profound Yin Empire!"


    Hearing that, Rong Yu''s eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed. Without any hesitation, he asked: "You want to take me to Profound Yin Empire ¡­ "What for?"


    If Xi Men Yu was going to the Profound Yin Empire, then she must have some sort of goal. However, no matter what goal she had, she could just go wherever she wanted to go.


    "To play a game." Su Xiruo gave a mysterious smile, he did not know how to explain it to him, "You''ll know after you follow me."


    She had to go to Profound Yin Empire!


    "Oh, okay." Rong Yu nodded, although he didn''t really understand what she meant, he believed that Xi''er wouldn''t harm him.


    Profound Yin Empire, Mercenary Guild.


    The fake Mo Yu was ready to set off for the Profound Yin Empire Imperial Palace, but he heard a strange voice from the window.


    Immediately, he raised his vigilance and furrowed his brows. With a cold voice, he asked, "Who is it?"


    In the next second, Su Xiruo appeared behind him, and struck his neck with a palm. The fake Mo Yu was immediately struck unconscious, and Rong Yu immediately flew in through the window.


    "I already said so earlier. Going to the Imperial Palace''s Hongmen Banquet is equivalent to suicide. This guy still wants to go." Xi Ruo helplessly shook her head and opened her mouth.


    "So, what do we do now?" Rong Yu tried to test the waters.


    The corner of Su Xiruo''s mouth slightly rose, and he said: "Go and throw away your life."


    "Huh?" Rong Yu could not help but be shocked by her words. At that moment, he was somewhat incoherent, "You ¡­ could it be that you want to personally go to the Profound Yin Empire Imperial Palace? "


    "That''s right." She didn''t deny it and said, "I would like to go and see what sort of tricks are hidden within the Profound Yin Palace."


    Hearing her words, Rong Yu became interested, "Alright, how do you want to go about it, I will go with you!"


    "I''ve been there once before." Su Xiruo muttered to himself, thinking that not only had he gone there last time, he had also done a lot of good things, killing all the Vicious Beasts in the palace.


    So... If she were to go with her true identity this time, it would not be appropriate.


    Suddenly, Su Xiruo''s gaze landed on the fake Mo Yu who was lying on the ground, he had an idea in his heart.


    She crouched down and looked at the fake Mo Yu''s face, and could not help but laugh: This disguise technique, to be able to deceive an ignorant person, is not bad, if I really meet a ruthless character, I would be exposed in the next second.


    At this time, Rong Yu seemed to have thought of the same thing as her, "Xiruo, you are the Poison Master, why not, you changed your appearance to look like this Mo Yu, and didn''t you go to the banquet that Lin Chuya set up?"


    "Yes." Su Xiruo thought so too.


    If she disguised herself to look like Mo Yu, then there would be one less person who would throw their lives away, and at the same time, figure out what was going on with the Profound Yin Palace.


    The purplish black Spiritual Strength condensed in the center of his palm, instantly enveloping Xi Ruo''s entire body. In the next second, the circle of light disappeared, and Rong Yu looked at the person in front of him, then looked at Mo Yu who was on the ground. It was as if they were identical, and couldn''t find anything wrong with him.


    "Xiruo, your appearance changing technique is truly amazing." Rong Yu could not help but praise him, "I stand so close, and I can''t even tell if it''s real or fake."
