Yan Xi could not help but roll her eyes at Chi Li’s words. “Why don’t you just say that I’m unlucky and have a bunch of trouble around me?”

She did not care much about Chi Li’s words and said expressionlessly, “when I met you, I was already destined to be involved in trouble. What trouble could be worse than what you’ve brought me?”

It was not difficult to infer from Chi Li’s words that he was extremely powerful when he was alive, so powerful that he did not respect anyone at all. Even so, he was only left with a remnant soul. It could be seen how terrifying his enemy was. At least, he was not someone she could come into contact with at her current level.

Yan Xi felt that based on Chi Li’s arrogant character, he should have more than one enemy!

Yan Xi criticized him. She did not expect Chi Li to be proud of her instead of being ashamed. He even said with pride, “You’re right, ugly girl.

“Yan Xi directly cut off their communication. She bit on the cake and secretly observed who the talented people that Chi Le had mentioned were.

Yun Yuhan’s eyelids drooped, his serious gaze sweeping past Yan Xi’s direction and then back.

However, he frowned slightly.

Suddenly, an aura that made his heart palpitate came over.

However, the aura disappeared very quickly, making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

There were a few other people who felt the same way.

Li Qingming retracted his gaze from Yan Xi without a trace and continued to wait for Yan Zhongshan’s answer gently.

Ji San saw Yan Xi eating the cake and curiously picked one up from the plate in front of him. He took a bite and put it down with a frown. He did not like such sweet things.

Then, he looked in Yan Xi’s direction and could not help but whisper, “Is your cake better?”

Yan Xi felt that the voice seemed to have come directly from her ears. She looked around and saw that no one else had reacted.

He was using secret sound transmission!

Mystic Masters and Spirit Masters could compress their voices into a line and transmit them into the ears of a designated person to prevent others from hearing what they wanted to say.

However, there was a drawback to this method. In front of extremely strong cultivators, secret sound transmission was useless. The contents of their conversation would be easily intercepted by the other party.

Yan Xi’s calm black eyes looked at Ji San.

Ji San grinned, and his eyes lit up. He continued to transmit his voice, “Let me try your cake. Is the Yan family treating you differently? Is the cake on your own plate more delicious than the one served to the guests?”

On the main seat, Yan Zhongshan placed his right hand on the armrest with a dignified expression. He had originally wanted to pretend that he had not heard anything and maintain a solemn and dignified expression, but after hearing these words, he could not hold it in. His brows finally could not help but twitch.

Yun Yuhan sipped his tea calmly.

Yan Zhongshan looked at his granddaughter, then at Yun Yuhan, and finally at Ji San. He furrowed his brows in a strange manner.

“Master Yan, the other four great families of the Muyun Kingdom, the Duanmu family, the Lian family, the Yun family, and the Sun family, had all agreed. What do you think of this cooperation?” Li Qingming’s elegant face was full of smiles—as if he had not noticed anything strange. He gently waited for Yan Zhongshan’s answer.

Yan Zhongshan retracted his thoughts from Yan Xi and the others. He pondered for a while. “We will agree to join. How many days are we leaving in?”

In fact, Imperial College did not give them any chance to choose. Regardless of whether they won or lost, they would get a level seven pill. The pill needed for a Mystical King to break through to Mystical Grandmaster was a level seven pill.

All the family heads were at the Mystical King Realm. A level seven pill meant that the possibility of breaking through to the Mystical Grandmaster Realm had increased by 50%. No matter which family it was, the birth of a Mystical Grandmaster would break the current balance of power.

He also had a hint of selfishness in his heart.

Yan Zhongshan looked at Yan Xi and sighed internally. The only child Wufeng left behind could not cultivate at birth, and her parents died when she was four or five years old… Now that she was disfigured, what was she going to do in the future?

He had heard that the level seven Nirvana pill could defy the heavens and reforge one’s bones, tendons, and meridians; thus, changing one’s aptitude. Yan Zhongshan’s eyes flashed as he thought of this.

Li Qingming was not surprised by Yan Zhongshan’s answer. He smiled and said, “The teachers are still in the Misty Forest. There will be a tide of magical beasts when a heavenly treasure appears. At that time, the disciples of the various families would also be needed to intercept. We hope that all the major families can gather all the disciples and necessary materials in one day. We’ll set off for the depths of the Misty Forest tomorrow morning.”

Yan Zhongshan nodded.

After the meeting was over, Yan Zhongshan and the powerful elders of his family all went to see the students of Imperial College off. Yan Xi and Yan Chushi, who were on the sidelines of the family, had no right to join them.

Ji San still had not seen Yan Xi’s face, but he could not get away from the group of elders. The students of Imperial College were also intentionally blocking his path, not allowing him to meet with the Yun family’s trash, so as not to ruin Imperial College’s reputation.

Ji San could not help but walk further and further away with the Imperial College students, his handsome face twisted with anger.

Yan Xi and Yan Chushi were the last to leave. When they left, the servants were cleaning up the conference hall.

“Eh? How did the Holy Son’s teacup crack?” The person who was collecting the teacups looked a little frightened. They were afraid that the people below had made an oversight and neglected the Holy Son.

Yan Chushi glanced at it curiously, then whispered, “The crack seems to be newly formed.”

He could tell?

Yan Xi was quite surprised and found that Chushi was quite sharp.

“Maybe he was angered by Ji San.” Yan Chushi’s tender voice sounded like he was gloating. She did not like either of them.

“Xixi, I didn’t expect the Holy Son to crush the teacup in secret even though he didn’t look angry on the surface. He must be a hypocrite! It’s a good thing you didn’t marry him.” Yan Chushi patted his chest, looking scared.

Yan Xi nodded in agreement.

After sending off the students of Imperial College, Yan Hong, who had come back to look for Yan Xi and Yan Chushi, stopped in his tracks and almost tripped on the steps at the door.

Kids these days would say anything…

Yan Hong had to admit that Yun Yuhan was indeed outstanding and dazzling. Yan Xi… was not worthy of him.

“Elder Hong, why are you back again?” Yan Xi and Yan Chushi were very surprised to see Yan Hong.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to see me?” Yan Hong snorted heavily.

Yan Xi touched her nose. “Of couse we don’t. The elders of the law enforcement hall usually appear to take in disciples who have broken the rules.”

Yan Hong was choked by her frankness and snorted softly. “I’m shocked that you’re afraid of the law enforcement hall. I’ve heard about your deeds yesterday. You’re quite bold to directly talk back to the former family head.”
