n“Liu family head, have you forgotten about LiuGuang sect? Junior sister XunMi is LiuGuang sect’s person so naturally, we will protect her.” Tian Xuan’s voice was cold.

nXuanGuang’s eyes were wide. This Liu HuiRan really was an intolerable bully.

n“What is the surname GongZi?” Just as everyone was entering a state of hostility, a light voice leisurely sounded.

n“White jade is flawless, GongZi is comparable.” XunMi blurted out, looking at GongZi Su with eyes flowing with dazzling brightness.

n“Then you can share my surname.” GongZi Su wanted to keep her by his side and watch her smile carefreely. He thought she was truly suited for the color red: bold and passionate, yet noble and proud.

n“Alright. GongZi XunMi, en~ It sounds pretty good.” XunMi’s smile grew. Everyone, from those in the audience to those battling on stage, strangely felt as if they had been slapped in the face with sugar.

nMany stood with their mouth agape. Why were they one step slower? If they were able to take in such a powerful soul senior beauty, they would be happy to support her.

nShe was barely two decades old, yet has already been able to reach soul senior rank. She might even breakthrough to higher levels soon.

nRegretfully, someone had stolen her away first.

nXuanGuang was also stamping his feet in dismay. Junior sister was LiuGuang sect’s, if she needed a new surname it should be a name from LiuGuang sect.

nWho was this man that had cut in front of them to steal her away? Even worse, he had successfully stolen her away!

nOuyang HanShuang watched happily, “Then you must take good care of my teacher. Don’t let anyone else say anything like ‘besides Liu family, no one else will protect you.’ Even though my teacher doesn’t even need anyone else’s protection…” After all, her teacher was so powerful. Only she could bully others, no one can bully her.

nThe only way Liu family and Liu ZhenXin were able to succeed that time was because teacher hadn’t had her guard up against family.

nGongZi Su didn’t say anything but walked to XunMi’s side. He gently placed a penetratingly blue jade necklace around XunMi’s neck. The necklace wasn’t too large. The jade was delicately carved into a flower that XunMi didn’t recognize. In the flower sat a dragon with folded wings.

nXunMi rubbed the necklace pendant in her hand, her eyes gentle. She didn’t know what it symbolized but there was no way this was an ordinary object.

n“When you are done, come find me. I’ll be waiting for you in ShengGu. (Valley of Saints).” GongZi Su concisely said while looking down at the dragon calmly laying atop her white collarbones in an inexplicably enticing manner.

n“Okay.” XunMi didn’t ask why he didn’t plan to stay and watch with her. In the past, she had relied on her husband. Now, she wanted to act by herself.

nShe wasn’t being fastidious or egotistic. Instead, it was because this world could be very beneficial for her. BaoBao said that when she went to higher leveled worlds in the future, she might not have time to slowly climb her way up. Thus, when she was in these worlds that would allow her to cultivate, she should first conserve her strength, understand the structure of the world and learn some technical skills.

nLuo Ling looked at his friend flabbergasted. His speed was a bit too fast right? Just a while ago, he had been worrying about when this friend would ever become enlightened. The next thing he knew, his friend was already gifting his own surname to her. As expected of GongZi Su. He’s quick with cultivation, so he’s also quick with girls.

nLiu HuiRan had the ugliest facial expression right now. The daughter that he never cared for had now attracted such an useful resource. Yet, she didn’t even have any thoughts of paying back her family.

nThe most annoying thing was LiuGuang sect and this GongZi Su fellow, who were both standing on that unfilial girl’s side.

nSlam! The sound of a hand banging onto a table once again brought the crowd’s attention to XunMi’s table.

nXunMi expressionlessly watched as Liu HuiRan erupted with anger. She directly turned around and walked to XuanGuang’s side. What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t need to care about.

nGongZi Su also returned to his seat and quietly sat down, as if he hadn’t even been involved in the earlier disturbance.

nWith all the noise, it was impossible for GuiYuan sect’s head to not notice. He immediately stepped up to mediate. “It’s almost the last round of the competition. Let’s keep the mood amicable.”

nFu XinZhi was also unhappy. There was finally someone to protect her daughter, yet that old thing Liu HuiRan actually dared to object? “Liu HuiRan, what are you doing? Sit down.” She bluntly slapped her hand down on Liu HuiRan’s left shoulder. Immediately, he could only feel a piercing pain running down his body. He glared at Fu XinZhi. He really wanted to slap her. However, due to Fu XinZhi’s powerful family, he could only endure it right now.

nThat’s right. The reason that he had decided to so fanatically pursue Fu XinZhi in the first place wasn’t because of love, but because of her power. Fu XinZhi was the eldest miss of one of the hidden family clan, Fu family. Back then, she had a bad reputation for being bossy and domineering. However, her status was perfect so there was still many fawning over her.

nUnfortunately, there wasn’t anyone that met her eye, not until Liu HuiRan. She was moved by his show of affection. As a result, she allowed Liu HuiRan to become Liu family’s successor. That’s to show that if you marry a powerful wife, the husband’s family would be supportive no matter how much they disliked her.

nAfter marrying, Liu HuiRan didn’t immediate change his behavior. He continued to spoil Fu XinZhi like before, causing Fu XinZhi to become more and more forceful. In Liu family, she wasn’t popular. Everyone was afraid of her and often talked behind her back. She herself had heard the talks. In a fit of fury, she had even killed a few people.

nAfterwards, she went into secluded cultivation. However, during her seclusion, problems arose.

nThe reason she had come to the competition today was to find Fu family. Although Fu family wasn’t as powerful as the other hidden family clans, but they were still very robust.

nThe noisy chaos began winding down after the sect head’s words. No one noticed that in the corner, Liu ZhenXin’s aura of dark energy became more and more concentrated.

nShe enviously looked up at Ouyang HanShuang on the stage and then at Liu XunMi below. Even if she didn’t have the title of Liu family’s eldest miss, she now had LiuGuang sect and that man’s support. She hated that the heavens weren’t far.

nSince she had already rebirthed, why won’t they let her destroy those two? Lowering her head, she walked slowly to the stage. She needed to kill her, she wanted to kill her. The unstable Liu ZhenXin’s energy slowly corroded the atmosphere into darkness.

nGongZi Su and Luo Ling both narrowed her eyes. They looked around the room but couldn’t find any abnormalities.

n“Ah Su, was that feeling a misperception?” Luo Ling asked with doubt.

n“No.” GongZi Su was sure that someone had just succumbed to their inner demons.
