"Does Patriarch Liu disregard the Liuguang Sect? My junior sister is a member of the Liuguang Sect, and naturally she will be protected by us."
Even Tianxuan, with his good temper, turned cold at this moment.
Xuan Guang glared angrily; this Liu Huiran was truly going too far.
"How about the surname, young master?" Just as everyone was on the verge of conflict, a clear, magnetic voice rang out leisurely.
"Flawless as white jade, you are unparalleled in the world, you are naturally a good man."
The word "seeking" came out almost spontaneously, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gongzi Su.
"Then take my surname." I'll use my surname to name you.
Gongzi Su thought to himself that he wanted to keep her by his side and see her unrestrained smile.
He felt that the red dress was just like her—fiery and bold, yet noble and proud.
"Okay, Young Master Xunmi, hmm~~ it sounds pretty good too."
As she searched for her own name, her smile grew even brighter.
Whether they were onlookers or those fiercely competing on stage, everyone inexplicably felt like they'd been thoroughly outplayed.
Most of them gaped in disbelief, wondering why they had been a step too slow.
If such a beautiful woman with the cultivation of a Spirit Venerable could be brought under one's own control...
We'd be happy to have them worship us every day; they're only in their early twenties and have already reached the level of a Spirit Venerable.
She might be able to break through that level that no one has reached yet, and she felt so regretful.
Unfortunately, someone else beat them to it.
Xuan Guang also beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling heartbroken. His junior sister was clearly from their Liuguang Sect, and if she were to take their surname, it should be Liuguang Sect's.
What's the meaning of you suddenly appearing out of nowhere? How can you steal someone away?
And then someone else actually managed to snatch it, making you even more heartbroken, right?
Ouyang Hanshuang was delighted, "Then you must protect my master well."
"Don't let anyone say that she has no one to protect her except the Liu family, even though my master doesn't need anyone to protect her at all."
In the end, she couldn't help but mutter that her master was so powerful.
She's the one who bullies others; no one else gets to bully her.
Of course, back then, the Liu family and Liu Zhenxin were completely caught off guard by their master, after all, they were close relatives.
Gongzi Su did not speak, but simply walked over to Xunmi's side.
She gently placed a clear blue jade pendant around Xunmi's neck.
The jade pendant is small but exquisitely carved, with a flower at the bottom that is not yet recognized.
A dragon lies on the flower with its head raised, and bony wings grow on both sides.
Xunmi held the jade pendant and rubbed it, her eyes filled with endless tenderness.
She didn't know what it represented, but it couldn't be anything ordinary.
"Come find me after you've finished your business. I'll be waiting for you in the Holy Valley."
Young Master Su expressed himself succinctly and clearly, looking at the dragon pendant resting quietly between his fair collarbones, which held an indescribable allure.
"Okay." Xunmi didn't ask him why he didn't stay with her.
She used to rely on her lover, but in this life she wants to take matters into her own hands.
It's not being pretentious, nor is it some kind of self-esteem or competitiveness.
Rather, this world is very beneficial to her, as the baby said, because she will go to a higher-level dimension in the future.
There may not be enough time to climb step by step, so encountering a world where spiritual energy can be used for cultivation is a good opportunity.
You can stockpile some first, then learn about the structure of this plane and acquire some special skills.
Luo Ling stared in disbelief at her friend; the speed at which she attacked was simply too fast.
One moment he was wondering when his friend would finally understand, and the next he was giving the person his own surname.
As expected of Young Master Su, his cultivation speed is fast, and his speed in chasing people is also extraordinary.
The one with the worst expression was Liu Huiran. His daughter, whom he had never thought highly of, had now managed to hook up with so many resources that were useful to the family.
Yet she showed no intention of repaying her family and even dared to talk back to him.
The most deserving of death are Liuguangzong and this young master Su, who actually sided with that wicked girl.
The sound of the table shattering with a 'crack' drew everyone's attention back to the group searching for each other.
Xunmi glanced expressionlessly at Liu Huiran's madness, then turned and walked directly to Xuanguang's side, choosing to avoid seeing him altogether.
Gongzi Su returned to his seat and sat quietly, as if he had never been among those who had caused the commotion.
With such a commotion, it was impossible for the Guiyuan Sect Master not to know about it, even if he wanted to.
He immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "The competition is about to enter its final round, so let's not hurt each other's feelings."
Fu Xinzhi was also furious. Her daughter finally had someone to protect her, and this old bastard Liu Huiran actually dared to have an opinion.
"Liu Huiran, what's wrong with you? Sit down."
A slap landed squarely on Liu Huiran's left shoulder without any hesitation.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart and glared at Fu Xinzhi, wishing he could slap the woman to death.
However, due to the influence of Fu Xinzhi's family, he tolerated it for the time being.
That's right, the melodramatic Liu Huiran did pursue Xinzhi with fervor back then.
It wasn't because of love, but simply because of status.
Fu Xinzhi was the eldest daughter of the Fu family, one of the reclusive families. At that time, she was arrogant and had a bad reputation.
But she has a powerful background, and many people fawn over her.
She didn't even notice any of them until she met Liu Huiran, who moved her with his feigned affection, and she insisted on marrying him.
This is why Liu Huiran became the heir of the Liu family.
So, if you marry a woman of substance, even if your in-laws don't like her, they'll still support you.
After the marriage, Liu Huiran did not change his attitude immediately, but instead continued to coax Fu Xinzhi as always.
This led to Fu Xinzhi becoming increasingly shrewish, making her quite unpopular in the Liu family.
Everyone was afraid of her and talked about her behind her back.
She overheard some of it herself, and in a fit of rage, she killed many people.
Then she went into seclusion, and that seclusion led to trouble.
She came along for this competition because she wanted to meet the Fu family.
Although the Fu family is not as powerful as some of the others, their background is still very strong.
The farce ended just like that, and no one noticed that the dark aura between Liu Zhenxin's brows was growing stronger in the corner.
She was jealous of Ouyang Hanshuang on the dueling platform, and also jealous of Liu Xunmi in the spectator stands.
Even though she no longer had the halo of being the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she had the support of the Liuguang Sect and that man.
She hated it, hated the unfairness of fate.
Since she's been given a second chance at life, why not let her destroy those two?
With his head down, he walked step by step toward the arena.
She's going to kill her, she's going to kill her.
Liu Zhenxin, whose breathing was extremely unstable, was completely consumed by darkness.
Gongzi Su and Luo Ling's expressions changed as they looked around the room, only to find that nothing seemed amiss.
"A-Su, was that just my imagination?" Luo Ling asked uncertainly.
"No." Young Master Su was certain that someone had just been possessed by a demon.
