Chapter 63: Heading to Nanxi Country

  Lengruo Xue's words couldn't help but make everyone in the temple's blood boil with excitement, this was truly too exciting.

  "Please welcome the first student to take on the challenge!"

  "Xiao Ting, come here." Leng Ruo Xue whispered a few words to Lin Ting, the first one to go on stage. Afterwards, she saw Xiao Ting walking confidently to the center of the arena.

  "My first opponent is Chen Fang Shijie." Xiao Ting said calmly.

  "You'd better not regret it." Chen Fang said disdainfully, humph, doesn't this poor little brat know his place and dare to challenge her?

  "Sister Shi, please." Xiao Ting said with a smile.

  Chen Fang drew her sword first and stabbed at Xiao Ting, the water attribute spiritual energy in the sword surging towards Xiao Ting like a tidal wave...

  Xiao Ting smiled slightly and calmly, her earth-based spiritual technique lightly blocking Chen Fang's attack. Then, with a reverse hand movement, she released a high-level water-based spiritual technique, sweeping towards Chen Fang. Chen Fang dodged hastily but was hit squarely...

  Chen Fang swallowed the blood in her mouth, refusing to admit defeat, and looked at Xiao Ting with a gaze that said... this can't be possible. Her strength was among the top 10 in the academy, how could she possibly be defeated by a poor and unknown kid in just one move?

  "I still have a spirit beast!" Chen Fang said firmly, refusing to admit defeat, and summoned his own spirit beast, a first-class sacred beast, the Tongtian Longarmed Ape.

  In fact, whether it is the selection match within the hospital or the college competition, the use of spiritual beasts is not allowed. This is done in order to be fair and also to protect the safety of students. After all, students who can participate in the college competition are not all geniuses, but they are all elites from various families. If there is an accident, it will be very troublesome. Chen Fang's use of spiritual beasts has clearly violated the rules of the competition.

  Leng Ruo Xue stood below the stage, her beautiful eyes scanning the judges who were blind to the foul play, fortunately she was prepared, otherwise...

  "Spirit beast? I have one too." Xiao Ting smiled elegantly and summoned his own spirit beast, a 5th-level Sacred Beast, the Lightning Leopard. This sacred beast was even contracted by the captain to help him!

  Chen Fang was stunned, thoroughly stunned. This can't be possible, how could this be? How could the spirit beast of that poor kid be better than hers?

  "Sister, are we still going to compete?" Xiao Ting smiled confidently, her bright smile a stark contrast to Chen Fang's dejected look.

  "I give up." Chen Fang was stunned for a long time and finally had to admit defeat, she knew that this time she lost both the inside and outside.

  In addition to Fu Mingxuan and Chen Fang, there are also Li Yu, Xu Na'er and Wang Wei who entered the final this time.

  Xiao Ting, after challenging Chen Fang, went on to challenge Li Yu, Xu Na'er, Wang Wei and another student from the Holy Temple who was considered the weakest among them. After defeating them all, he became the first one to enter the top 30.

  Then, students from the Temple continued to take the stage one after another and challenged their opponents according to Leng Ruoxue's arrangement, smoothly entering the top 30.

  Wang Wei, a student of Zun Dian, was eliminated in the first round without even getting a chance to challenge after failing five times in a row.

  Immediately following, Xu Na'er and Li Yu were also eliminated due to their fifth failure. Currently, only two of Zun Dian's students remain: Fu Mingyuan, who has not been challenged yet, and Chen Fang, who has already failed four times and is on the verge of elimination.

  Seeing this situation, even a fool would understand, but even if they understood, they were powerless. Fu Mingyuan and Chen Fang's entry numbers were both at the back, so even if they wanted to challenge now, they had no chance, and could only watch as one by one, the people in the hall were eliminated.

  "Dean, this competition is unfair!" Chen Jian stood up from his seat, saying anxiously.

  "What's unfair about it?" Lin Liang said with feigned confusion, this girl is really ruthless, it seems she doesn't plan to let the people from Zun Temple get a spot.

  "The competition rules are unfair, some students didn't even have a chance to challenge, how can they be eliminated?" Chen Jian said angrily.

  "Is the vice president referring to those students from Zun Temple?" asked Autumn Elder with a smile.

  "Vice President Chen, you were very much in favor of this rule at the beginning, and now you say it's unfair. How can students trust you when you're so inconsistent?" Lin scolded, not thinking that he didn't know that Chen Jian had agreed to this rule because he was too confident in the strength of Zun Temple students, but now the situation was contrary to his expected result, so he panicked, but it's too late!

  As Chen Fang was swept out, the entire Zun Dian was left with only Fu Mingyuan alone. Fu Mingyuan looked at that stunningly beautiful girl with a complex expression, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

  Was she really a fool, or was she pretending from the start? Although he had many doubts in his heart, he knew clearly that they would lose this game miserably.

  Feng Yanran, Mu Lei, Ye Chen and Feng Da successively took the stage and challenged Fu Mingxuan. They then won four consecutive games and smoothly advanced to the top 30.

  "I want to challenge Leng Ruoxue." Fu Mingyuan said, it was finally his turn to go on stage. He had already lost four times and there were only five people left on the stage, including him, but there was only one spot available. Fu Mingyuan knew that among these five people, only Leng Ruoxue was his greatest opponent, so he could only enter the top 30 by defeating her.

  "I accept the challenge." Leng Ruoxue walked directly to the center of the stage, and this result was also her intention, otherwise Fu Mingyuan would not have stayed until the end.

  Leng Ruo Xue gazed at his opponent, Fu Ming Yuan, one of the three geniuses of Feng Tian Academy, whose strength was on par with Feng Xiao's. As a high-level Spirit King, he could also be considered one of the few friends of Leng Ruo Xue's brother. Unfortunately, due to Fu Ming Zhu, they would never become friends.

  "You go first!" Fu Mingyuan said, he was a man and should give way to a woman.

  "In that case, I won't hold back." Dealing with Fu Mingyuan, she didn't need to use her full strength, what she valued more was actual combat experience, and fighting humans and fighting spiritual beasts were different.

  Leng Ruo Xue raised the sword in her hand, and with a light swing, the sword energy transformed into a sharp white light that flew towards Fu Ming Yuan. The speed of this sword energy was extremely fast, and its momentum was overwhelming, making people feel an immense pressure...

  Fu Mingyuan was shocked in his heart and dodged hastily, a gash appeared on his arm.

  Unexpectedly, this sword aura is so sharp and fierce. If spiritual energy were to be infused into it, his arm would probably be crippled. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his spirit to the highest level. Now, Cold-as-Snow has already been listed as his most dangerous opponent, which also stirred up his strong desire for battle...

  Fu Mingyuan was skilled in using a knife, and the one he held was considered a treasured family heirloom of the Fu family. The blade was slender and sharp, not very wide, with a hilt about as long as two adult palms. As Fu Mingyuan grasped the knife, his wrist lifted lightly, coordinating with his knife technique to unleash a powerful water-attribute spiritual energy that shot straight at Leng Ruoxue.

  Leng Ruo Xue's sword rose, lightly blocking and dissolving Fu Mingyuan's spiritual power. Then, she counterattacked with a sword strike infused with fire attribute spiritual power, unleashing a dazzling red glow towards Fu Mingyuan. Fu Mingyuan quickly dodged, evading the attack.

  Like this, the two of them exchanged blows for dozens of rounds, with Cold-as-Snow remaining effortlessly calm, but Fu Mingyuan becoming increasingly exhausted.

  "I lost." Fu Mingyuan conceded voluntarily, he was very clear that Leng Ruoxue hadn't gone all out.

  Later, the remaining 4 people on stage also voluntarily admitted defeat, and Leng Ruoxue successfully entered the top 30.

  After entering the top 30, there was originally a ranking match arranged by the college, but all 30 students including Leng Ruoxue voluntarily gave up their qualifications, so the ranking match was cancelled, and Chen Jian didn't even have a chance to do anything.

  Lin Liang looked at the final result with satisfaction, overjoyed, this was really great.

  As soon as the selection match was over, Leng Ruxue was pulled into the principal's office by a somewhat anxious Lin Liang.

  "Ruo Xue, tell Grandfather Lin about your training." Lin Liang said with some curiosity. From the moment those students returned, he could see that they were different from before. They had an air of dominance on them, a hint of the strong aura that was not present in the academy's students. However, because of the ongoing competition, he hadn't asked about it until now that the competition has ended.

  "Grandpa Lin, as long as you're willing to throw the students from the academy into the Mystic Forest for a month, they'll also have such strength and aura." said Leng Ruoxue with a teasing tone.

  “……”

  Lin Liang couldn't help but laugh and cry as he looked at Leng Ruoxue, this stinky girl, she clearly knew he was reluctant to part with it, yet she still said that!

  "Hey, Snow, why don't I hand over those students to you? You take them to the Mystic Forest!" Lin Liang said with a sly tone, "Heh heh, if you take them there, you'll be responsible for their safety, oh!"

  "I'm not going to be a nanny." Lin Liang gave him a cold look, and with one sentence, he killed off Lin Liang's idea.

  "Grandfather Lin, I heard that there will be a trial in the academy in a few days?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "Hmm, the academy always arranges a lot of training at this time every year." Lin Liang explained.

  "Those people on the list should all go, right?" said Leng Ruoxue, this was what she was more concerned about, and she had been waiting for an opportunity. She also heard from her grandfather that the Fu family had already obtained the crystal honey, so Pei Mingzhu's injury should have healed by now.

  "As if snow..."

  "Grandfather Lin, I want all those people on the list to participate in this trial!" Leng Ruoxue said unequivocally, it's time for them to be settled.

  "Alright, I'll arrange it." Lin Liang said somewhat helplessly, although he didn't know how Yu Xue was going to take revenge on those people, but he could guess that those people were in for a disaster.

  After the college selection match, Leng Ruo Xue gave everyone in the Holy Temple a 5-day holiday. After 5 days, they will set off to participate in the college trial in Yue Du of Nan Xi country. Therefore, before departure, Leng Ruo Xue had to finish what she wanted to do.

  Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, two humans and two beasts quietly slipped into a luxurious mansion.

  "Yu, you go and scout ahead first." Leng Ruoxue instructed.

  "Yes."

  "Xue Er, are we here on a date?" Ye Chen asked with eyes as calm as autumn water and an expectant face.

  "Would you come to someone else's home for a date?" Leng Ruoxue glared at the demon and asked back.

  "What's the point of coming here then?" Ye Chen asked, seemingly innocent, with a look of confusion on his absolutely beautiful face and bright black eyes that were as clear as water.

  "It's naturally doing something bad to go to someone else's house at midnight." Leng Ruo Xue said calmly, without a hint of embarrassment or nervousness, this dead demon is so cute! I really want to pinch him...

  "Hmm, Xue Er, why are you pinching me?" Ye Chen looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a hint of grievance, looking like he was about to cry. Hehe, after observing her for many days, he knew that she couldn't resist him when he acted this way, so he naturally had to use it to his advantage.

  "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to!" Leng Ruo Xue felt a bit embarrassed as she withdrew her hand. Why was her hand not listening to her? It had actually crawled up onto that demon's handsome face... But, the feeling was really good, and his skin was very smooth...

  "I know you did it on purpose." Ye Chen said very affirmatively, with a smug expression on his face, and Xue Er touched him voluntarily!

  "Dead demon..." Cold as snow, her forehead was covered with black lines, extremely embarrassed.

  "Xue Er, you're mine anyway, you can touch me however you want..." Ye Chen said with a smile in his eyes, very open-minded.

  "You..."

  Mei couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears with her paws, this person was really too mushy...

  "Master, I've found it." The scout, Yu Fei, flew back, timely resolving the awkwardness of Cold-as-Snow.

  "Feathers, take road."

  "Master, follow me." The transformed feather, now the size of a small bird, flew ahead, with Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen following closely behind.

  The two men and two beasts knocked down all the guards they met and came to a courtyard.

  "This is it, sir."

  Bang!

  "What's this taste? It's disgusting, remake it!"

  "Miss..."

  Leng Ruo Xue and others had not yet approached the room when they heard the sound of things being smashed coming from inside, as well as Fu Ming Zhu scolding a maid.

  The door was then opened and a maid walked out of the room. Leng Ruoxue and others quickly hid in the dark.

  After the maid walked away, Leng Ruo Xue directly pushed open Fu Ming Zhu's door and went in, setting up a barrier at the same time.

  "How did you get back so quickly?"

  "Is it you?" Fu Mingzhu raised her head and saw Leng Ruoxue in front of her, with a strong sense of hatred and jealousy bursting out from her eyes.

  "Does Miss Fu still remember me?" Leng Ruoxue said calmly, her beautiful eyes staring at Fu Mingzhu's pretty face. It seemed that the crystal honey had worked well, as there was not a single scar left behind.

  "Hmph! I'll remember you even if you turn to ashes!" Fu Mingzhu said resentfully, she hadn't even gotten her revenge on this fool yet, and he had the nerve to deliver himself right to her doorstep.

  Fu Mingzhu hated Leng Ruoxue to the bone, especially after knowing her identity. The huge gap in their social status made it impossible for Fu Mingzhu to accept, so she couldn't tolerate Leng Ruoxue's existence even more. And that stinky fox, dared to scratch her face! If not for her father doting on her and getting her the crystal honey, she would have really ruined her face. Hmph! After dealing with Leng Ruoxue, she'll deal with that dead fox next.

  "Originally, I gave you such a deep impression!" Leng Ruo Xue said with a light smile. All of Fu Ming Zhu's hatred was written on her face, and compared to Xu Na Er, she was far more cunning. This shows that one cannot judge a person by their appearance, the weaker a woman looks on the outside, the more she can be unexpectedly ruthless.

  "It must be deep!" Fu Mingzhu said with gritted teeth.

  "Didn't expect you to dare come to my home?" Immediately, Fu Mingzhu smiled with a hint of gloating and calculation in her eyes, thinking that since he had come, there was no way for him to leave.

  "What? Is your home a dragon's lair or a tiger's den? Can't come?" Cold Snow's face was full of bewilderment.

  "Can, of course can." But coming will regret it.

  Fu Mingzhu was now basking in her triumph and hadn't even thought about how Leng Ruoxue had gotten in, or why she had come.

  "That's good." Leng Ruo Xue seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

  "Assassins are coming! Someone is here to kill!" Fu Mingzhu suddenly shouted loudly.

  Leng Ruo Xue's forehead was sweating profusely, and Fu Mingzhu was also too late to react! She only started calling out now, her reaction is really disappointing!

  "Take a break! Don't exhaust yourself!" Leng Ruoxue thought she was being too considerate.

  "You... you're done for, our Fu family people will arrive immediately." Fu Mingzhu said with a sneer.

  "Really? Or should we see who dies first, you or me?" Cold as snow, she teased her like a cat playing with a mouse.

  "You... you dare to move me? My father won't let you off." Fu Mingzhu threatened.

  "I'd really like to try, but if I let you die too easily, wouldn't that be beneath me?" It's easy to directly kill the enemy, but making someone wish they were dead is not so simple, and she prefers to attack her opponents mentally.

  "What... what do you want?" Fu Mingzhu suddenly felt a little scared, where are her parents? They still haven't arrived... it's been so long...

  "Don't be afraid! Good boy, I won't kill you." said Leng Ruoxue soothingly.

  "I just wanted..." Leng Ruo Xue took out a pill, swiftly pinched Fu Ming Zhu's mouth shut and tossed the pill in.

  "What did you feed me?" Fu Mingzhu was shocked, and hurriedly used her fingers to dig at her throat, trying to get the dan medicine out, but the dan medicine had already dissolved as soon as it entered her mouth and was gone without a trace.

  "Of course it's a good thing to nourish the body." This elixir was specially refined by her for Fu Mingzhu, and the formula was also found with great effort.

  "Really?" Fu Mingzhu was puzzled, but her eyes gradually calmed down.

  "It's true, even more so than pearls." said Leng Ruoxue solemnly.

  "There's a training session at the academy tomorrow, go early and don't be late." Ling Ruo Xue reminded.

  "Uh-huh, got it, I'll arrive early." Fu Mingzhu responded obediently, her eyes becoming increasingly gentle.

  "Now go to bed and sleep," Ling Ruo Xue reminded.

  "Uh-huh, I'm going to sleep now." After saying that, Fu Mingzhu directly lay down on the bed.

  It seems the medicine is effective, Leng Ruoxue thought to herself as she turned and left the room.

  "Xue Er, is it settled?" Ye Chen asked quietly as he saw Xue Er come out.

  "Got it!"

  "What shall we do now?"

  "Go home and sleep!"

  "Shall we not visit the residence of the Grand Councilor?"

  "Let's go and have a look!"

  After finishing speaking, the two beasts treated this prime minister's mansion as their own backyard and began to visit.

  "Tsk tsk! A prime minister is actually so wealthy, just look at these decorations, how much money must have been embezzled?! Night Chen commented as he walked, the five major families are probably no better than this!"

  "I've decided..." said Leng Ruoxue after a moment of thought.

  "What have you decided?" Ye Chen looked at Xue Er with a puzzled expression.

  "I've decided to rid the people of this scourge and rob him!" This kind of corrupt official, if you don't rob them, it's a waste.

  "Ah, I love robbery." Ye Chen said excitedly, robbery is the most loving thing.

  "Yu, go and find out where the Fu family's treasure vault is?" Yu's eagle eyes were more useful than radar and could see even further.

  "Master, come with me." Yu said helplessly. After being promoted to a divine beast, it gained the talent of 'clairvoyance', but was instead used by its master to find things... Waaah, master is really too extravagant...

  The wings brought them to a very inconspicuous room "Master, this is the treasure house."

  "Are you sure?" This room looks just like a servant's quarters?

  She nodded her head, she was very certain.

  "It's locked." This lock must have been crafted by a skilled artisan, and without the password, there's no way to open it.

  "I'm here." Yechen suddenly pulled out a thin iron wire from somewhere, poked the lock head a few times, and with a "click", the lock opened.

  This demon actually has this skill... Leng Ruo Xue stared at him in shock for several minutes.

  "Xue Er, you're looking at me like that, I'm getting shy!" reminded Xiao Chen's heart, pounding rapidly.

  “……”

  "Go ahead!" Leng Ruo Xue somewhat awkwardly withdrew her gaze.

  Only after the two walked in did they discover that although this treasure house was unassuming on the outside, it was a different world inside. It seems that Fu Chengxiang is quite good at hiding things from others.

  There were three rooms in the treasure house, Leng Ruo Xue, Ye Chen and Mei Fen took action separately, each responsible for sweeping one room. After looting clean, they quickly left the treasure house.

  "Xue Er, shouldn't that be Fu Chengxiang's study up ahead?" Ye Chen guessed, they were already in the main courtyard.

  "It should be."

  "Actually, there isn't a guard at the main hall?" Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.

  "In the bright places, there is nothing; in the dark places, all have been knocked down by Yu and Mei." Leng Ruo Xue explained.

  "Oh."

  "Sir, this time the Feng Tian Academy's selection competition, not a single person from our Zun Temple was selected for the top 30. This completely disrupts our plans!" In the study room, Fu Chengxiang said to a man in black with a gloomy face.

  "It doesn't matter, even if they are selected, it's not necessarily possible for them to participate in this competition." The man in black said indifferently.

  "Sir, you mean..."

  "You don't need to worry about this matter, just do your own job." The man in black said coldly.

  "Yes."

  "Sir, Leng Ruoxue is General Cold's most beloved granddaughter, you see..."

  "What's wrong with General Leng? He's only one person, no matter how formidable. Our master won't be afraid of him. It's only a matter of time before we take care of him." The man in black said confidently.

  Damn it, not only wanting to deal with her, but also wanting to take advantage of her grandfather!

  This study is indeed the right place for them, otherwise they would have been plotted against. Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Ruo Xue's beautiful eyes hiding in the dark.

  "Xue'er, let's leave first and think about it later." Yechen reminded.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly, and the two of them jumped onto Yu's back, disappearing into the night.

  The man in black and Fu Cheng talked and then left the residence of the prime minister.

  "What are you people?" The black-clothed man looked at the two humans and two beasts that suddenly appeared in front of him, cautiously saying. He couldn't sense their strength at all.

  "You'll know when you get to hell..." The cold voice whispered into the black-clad man's ear.

  "Ah!" Then, a mournful cry echoed through the darkness...

  Misty Forest Fire Rhinoceros Clan Territory.

  "Will they come?" Ye Chen looked at Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity and asked, he and Xue Er had been waiting here for a long time.

  "You'll know soon enough" She had instructed Yu to give the group of people medicine before she came in, which could cause hallucinations. She knew that after what happened last time, they would definitely want to avoid the Fire Rhino's territory, but she wanted them to take the initiative to come to her door, and she sprinkled another kind of medicine on the road leading to the Fire Rhino's territory. The two medicines worked together, attracting each other, and they couldn't help but come.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Ye Chen waited for a while on Hu Xi's territory, and those fish that jumped into the net came.

  After arriving at the Fire Rhinoceros's territory, Leng Ruoxue put down the medicine on them, and the effect of the medicine had just reached its peak.

  "What are you doing here, you fool?" Fu Mingzhu asked coldly as she stepped forward to interrogate Leng Ruo Xue, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

  "Why can't I be here?" Leng Ruo Xue retorted, Fu Ming Zhu's medicine had also reached its time limit, and she had completely forgotten about last night's events.

  "So there are only the two of you here? Hmph, a lone man and woman, truly shameless!" Fu Mingzhu said disdainfully, apparently having forgotten about her own past experiences of chasing after men.

  "Isn't there you guys too? And there are many spiritual beasts here!" Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of a smile.

  "What's this?" At that moment, one of the leading teachers' faces changed. Didn't they deliberately avoid the Fire Rhinoceros's territory? How did they end up here again.

  "What's wrong?" Wang asked with some confusion.

  "This is Fire Rhino's territory."

  "Are you certain?" Wang Chang asked, as Hu Xi was a very ferocious spirit beast, one that even Spirit Venerables were unwilling to provoke.

  "Ah, it was here last time." a teacher said in a low voice.

  "Leave quickly!" Wang Changlao said decisively, spirit beasts are all very vengeful.

  "Everyone get out of here immediately!" one of the teachers yelled.

  "Are you leaving? It's too late for that!" Leng Ruoxue said calmly.

  "Leng Ruoxue, what do you mean by this?" Wang Changlao asked calmly.

  "King Zhanglao, didn't you notice that we've been surrounded by Huo Xī?"

  As soon as Leng Ruoxue's words fell, Huo Xi Wang led his subordinates out of the trees with a swagger.

  "It was her, she stole our Huo Xī Guǒ!" The Huo Xī King pointed at Fu Mingzhu, it was this damned woman who brought them the ominous star, so he truly hated this woman to death.

  "It's you after all." Leng Ruo Xue said coldly, actually she had already guessed that the one who stole the Huo Xi Guo and enraged the Huo Xi was likely Fu Ming Zhu, because apart from Fu Cheng Xiang, probably no one else had the ability to bribe everyone into giving false testimony.

  "What am I? Nothing." Fu Mingzhu somewhat nervously denied, she would rather die than admit it.

  "Whether you admit it or not is unimportant. What's important is that none of you will be leaving this place today." Leng Ruoxue said with a bloodthirsty tone, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

  "What do you want to do?" Wang Zhang asked calmly.

  "Of course, it's for avenging my brother."

  "You... don't get out of line, if the Academy finds out, they won't let you off." Wang Changlao threatened, he didn't know why these Huo Xī would listen to Leng Ruoxue's words, but now he could only use the Academy to pressure her.

  "The dead won't talk," said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "Which of you is going to tell me why you framed my brother with false testimony?" asked Leng Ruoxue, looking at the students who were trembling with fear.

  "What? Is there no one willing to enlighten me?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes scanned the people in the room, her voice low.

  "After I've said it, can you let me off? I was also forced to." said a girl named Mori, somewhat timidly.

  "You don't have the qualifications to discuss conditions with me!" Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully.

  "Let me guess? After Fu Mingzhu provoked the Huo Xīng group, you met my brother while escaping. My brother rescued you at his own expense and was seriously injured. The culprit was afraid of being known by General Leng Da, so he asked you to bear false witness. This way, even if General Leng Da is angry, there's nothing he can do about it because it's his grandson who caused the trouble himself. You can't be blamed for it, right?" Cold Ruo Xue roughly said what she had guessed.

  "After that, Chen Jian used this matter as a tool to attack Dean Lin, and my brother also became the laughing stock of others." Cold Snow added.

  "What you said is right, this thing was indeed forced by Fu Cenxiang," one of the teachers said.

  "What did he say to you?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "He said that the academy's first day was ruined, and we can't shirk our responsibility. General Leng and the principal won't let us off easily, so he wants us to shift all the blame onto Leng Ruohan. He also said that he'll take care of everything else. We didn't want to agree at first, but he threatened us with our families. In fact, the one who's most afraid of General Leng and the principal causing trouble is him..."

  "Since you told the truth, I'll make your death a little easier." Leng Ruo Xue said, and with a flash of spiritual energy in her hand, the teacher fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

  "Do you hate? If you must hate, then hate Fu Mingzhu! It's all her fault that you're all suffering." Leng Ruoxue said coldly as she gazed at the group of students who were trembling with fear.

  "Wait! I'm Wang Changlao, I didn't participate in the last thing, can you spare me?" Wang Changlao begged without dignity.

  "What about you? You didn't miss the opportunity to kick my brother while he's down, did you?" Leng Ruoxue sneered with a cold smile. If he wasn't Chen Jian's person, he wouldn't have been assigned to lead the team today either.

  "I..."

  "Huo Xiwang, your chance to redeem yourself has arrived. Make a good show of it!" Leng Ruoxue said lazily, not bothering with them anymore, and glanced at Huo Xiwang.

  "Up!" With a single order from the Fire Rhinoceros King, its subordinates charged forward in unison. The King and the elders didn't even have time to react before they were overwhelmed by nearly ten thousand fire rhinos...

  Leng Ruo Xue glanced at the Fire Rhinoceros herd, which was charging forward like a broken bamboo, and then threw a pill to the Fire Rhinoceros King before leaving the Misty Forest with Ye Chen.

  General Cold's Mansion Listening Snow Pavilion

  "Xue Er, in a few days you'll be going to the Moon Palace, this is something Grandfather prepared for you, take it with you!" Leng Qing Tian said worriedly, and handed his granddaughter a ring.

  "Grandpa, I don't need anything, you don't have to prepare." Leng Ruoxue glanced at the things inside the ring and said with some helplessness, "How did Grandpa prepare so much food?!"

  "Carrying, carrying, the road is far away!" Leng Qingtian said. The distance between Fengdu and Yueyang was not close, and the road was not easy to walk on either. There were many places that were very remote, with no place to stay overnight, let alone food.

  "Alright!" Leng Ruo Xue also didn't want Grandfather to worry, after all this was a token of Grandfather's heartfelt intentions.

  "Miss, someone from the Academy has arrived and says that the Dean is looking for you." Feng Da walked in from outside and said directly.

  "Grandpa, I'm going down!"

  "Go!"

  Leng Ruo Xue arrived at Feng Tian Academy and went straight to the principal's office.

  "Director Lin, you wanted to see me about something?" Leng Ruoxue said as she entered the director's office.

  "If it's snowing, those students who went out for training that day and Wang Changlao have not returned until now, do you know about this?" Lin Liang asked tentatively.

  "I've heard that, Grandpa Lin. The forest is full of dangers to begin with. It's not uncommon for a team that goes in for training to encounter a powerful spirit beast and get completely wiped out, right? No need to worry too much!" Lan Ruoxue comforted him.

  "That's also true." Lin Liang said helplessly, this girl actually played dumb with him.

  "If it's snowing, I called you here for something important."

  "What's wrong?"

  "This time's college competition must be won first place!" Lin Liang said very seriously.

  "Could it be that this time's academy competition has some hidden meaning?" Cold Snow guessed.

  "Is there, have you heard of Xi Yuan Secret Realm?" Lin Liang said with a mysterious face.

  "No."

  "The Xi Yuan Secret Realm is a naturally formed treasure land, with countless heavenly materials and spiritual beasts inside. It only opens once every thousand years, and each time only allows 200 people to enter. The Academy's trial is actually a competition for the quota to enter the Xi Yuan Secret Realm. Although the Xi Yuan Secret Realm only opens once a millennium, the Academy's trial has been continued all along. This year happens to be the millennium, so this year's trial is extremely important. If we can get first place, we can obtain 50 quotas to enter the Xi Yuan Secret Realm." Lin Liang explained.

  "50 quotas? Sounds quite tempting." Lan Ruoxue said with a lack of interest, she had the 'Qiankun Ring', and the Xi Yuan Secret Realm was just okay to her, its attractiveness wasn't that great.

  "Of course, it's tempting. Do you know how many spiritual beings want to get a spot in the Xi Yuan Secret Realm? There are many divine beasts inside, and if one can contract with one of them, they'll be set for life on the Ling Feng Continent. And it's said that there are also elixirs and treasures that can help one advance to the Spiritual God realm." Lin Liang said wistfully, "It happens once a thousand years, but not everyone has such an opportunity."

  "Grandfather Lin, if we get first place in this college competition, what's the benefit?" asked Leng Ruoxue, she didn't want to do charity for others, she had always been selfish, and of course, the benefits must be beneficial to herself.

  "If you can get the first place, then all your participating students will automatically qualify for entering Xi Yuan Secret Realm." Lin Liang said, he knew what this girl was thinking, so he told her clearly in advance, also to give her a reassurance.

  "What about the other quotas?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, she didn't want to let her hard-earned quota be taken by someone she disliked without them putting in any effort.

  "The remaining quotas are allocated by the colleges." Lin Liang said frankly, this is the convention of each university college.

  "I want 10 of the remaining quotas, and the rest can be given to the college." Leng Ruoxue said, the condition is still discussed first, so as not to have disputes in the future.

  "Alright, I agree." Lin Liang said helplessly. He knew that if he didn't agree to this girl's terms, she definitely wouldn't put in her best effort. This girl wasn't like Ruo Han; she had no sense of belonging to the academy.

  "This time I will arrange for Old Man Qiu to travel with you."

  "Thank you, Grandpa Lin." The old man was still quite likable to Qiu Lao.

  After talking with Old Man Lin, Leng Ruo Xue didn't delay for a moment and directly returned to the General's Manor.

  "Xue Er, what did Old Man Lin want with you?" asked Leng Qing Tian as soon as he saw his granddaughter return.

  "Nothing much, Grandfather, have you ever heard of Xi Yuan Secret Realm?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Is the Creek Boundary Secret Realm going to appear again?" Leng Qingtian's face was shocked, as a strong person like them almost no one would not know the legend of the Creek Boundary Secret Realm. However, those who can wait are few, and the quota for entering that secret realm has always been in the hands of various universities. It is impossible for outsiders to get it.

  "Hmm, Grandfather Lin told us that we must get the first place, because the first place will have 50 quotas to enter the Xi Yuan Secret Realm." Leng Ruoxue explained.

  "This time's competition won't be intense? Xue Er, you must be careful, that Moon Shadow Academy will stop at nothing, and this time's competition is being held in their hometown, they must be determined to win." Leng Qing Tian said with some concern.

  "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be careful." said Leng Ruoxue reassuringly.

  "Grandpa, I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll go see my brother."

  "Go."

  Leng Ruo Xue arrived at Han Ming Xuan and happened to see her brother packing his things.

  "Brother, what are you doing?" Leng Ruoxue looked at her brother with some curiosity as he bustled about, while the White Tiger couple were rolling around on the ground, being affectionate to the extreme.

  "Pack up your things!" Leng Ruo Han explained.

  "What are you doing with those things? Where's Ming An?"

  "Tomorrow I'll be leaving Fengdu, of course I have to pack up my things." Leng Ruo Han said matter-of-factly.

  “……”

  "Brother, don't tell me you're going to go to the Moon with me?"

  "Yes, I'll go with you. Brother won't be at ease if you go alone." Leng Ruohan said, he knew Xue'er had the 'Qiankun Ring', that's why he wanted to follow along.

  "Have you talked to Grandpa about it?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, Grandpa probably won't agree.

  "Don't worry, Grandfather will definitely let me go. Baihu's whole family and I can stay in Xue'er's space." Leng Ruohan had already made up her mind.

  "En, then let's go with Xue Er!" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly. She knew she couldn't stop her brother, but ensuring his safety was still not a problem.

  "Hmm." After passing Xue Er's test, he felt at ease.

  "Brother, I won't disturb you packing anymore." Leng Ruo Xue said after which she returned to her own room.

  "Xue Er, if Han wants to go to Yue Du with you, Grandfather thought about it and decided to go with you too." Leng Qing Tian arrived at Ting Xue Xuan and said directly, sighing, who made him worry about his grandson and granddaughter!

  “……”

  Leng Ruo Xue's forehead slid down a few black lines, and Grandpa also joined in the fun. "Let's all go together, let's just say our whole family is going out to play."

  "Miss." After hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, Lv Tao and Cui Zhu also looked at their own miss with pitiful eyes.

  "Let's all go together!" Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.

  On the day of departure, everyone arrived early at the entrance of Feng Tian Academy. When Lin Liang saw Leng Qingtian, his eyes almost popped out "Leng old man, what are you doing here?"

  "Of course, it's to protect my grandsons and granddaughters." Leng Qingtian said with a pleased expression, still as clever as ever, knowing he should go with Xue'er.

  "Then I want to protect the students of our college, can't I go together?" Lin Liang said with wide eyes.

  "You can't go, you're the dean, you have to stay and hold down the fort for the college." Leng Qingtian said with a sly smile.

  "Are you still a great general?" Lin Liang gritted his teeth and said angrily.

  "I've already made arrangements." Leng Qingtian said with a smile.

  "You old corpse, what are you so proud of?" Lin Liang roared.

  "Director, General Cold, many people are watching!" Autumn old man persuaded with some helplessness, what a shame!

  "Autumn elder, please take care of yourself on your journey!" Qing Tian said very politely.

  "I don't dare, I don't dare, please take care of me, General Leng!" Old Man Qiu's forehead was sweating, with such a powerful bodyguard, the road would be much safer.

  "Miss, all tasks have been accepted." At this time, Feng Da walked up to Leng Ruo Xue's side and said.

  "Alright, let's set off!" said Leng Ruoxue with a nod.

  Like this, a group of over 30 people left Fengdu under Lin Liang's resentful gaze.

  Half a month later, they entered a small town on the border of Nanxi Country.

  "Miss, I'll go to the Mercenary Guild to hand in my tasks." Feng Da said. The young lady had asked him to pick up some tasks from the Mercenary Guild before they set off, so every time they arrived at a new city, he would first go and hand in his tasks, and then take on some more that could be done along the way.

  "Go ahead, we'll wait for you at this inn."

  "Grandfather, Autumn Elder, let's sit here!" Leng Ruoxue found a spot by the window in the great hall and sat down. The others also found their own seats and ordered something to eat.

  "What a coincidence! Snow, Feng Ge, Ye Ge, Mu Ge!" Ji Rong exclaimed as he saw Leng Ruoxue and the others hastily come forward to greet him.

  "Brother Gu." Leng Ruoxue didn't expect to run into Gu Ri in such a small place.

  Others who knew him also greeted him one after another.

  "Grandfather, Autumn Elder, he is the young master of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps. He was the one who told my brother the news." explained Cold Ruo Xue.

  "Many thanks, young master."

  "General Leng is too polite, I have long admired your great name." Ji Ri hastily said.

  "Does Boss Yu have a task?" Leng Ruoxue saw them escorting a hearse.

  "Hmm, we just got back from Xi'an," Jiguang explained.

  "Brother Ge, we still have a long way to go tomorrow, let's head back to our rooms and rest first." Several people chatted for a while, then Cold-as-Snow spoke up after seeing that everyone had eaten their fill.

  "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore."

  "Lin Yuan, you stay behind and wait for Feng Da, the others can return to their rooms to rest!" Leng Ruoxue ordered.

  "Yes, miss."

  Leng Ruo Xue had just arrived at her room and was about to rest early when she heard someone knocking on the door.

  "How did you get here?" Leng Ruoxue opened the door and saw that demon standing at the entrance.

  "Xue Er, why are you back in your room so early?" He still wanted to chat with Xue Er for a while!

  "I'm tired and want to rest early," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "You should get some rest early then!" Xue Er looked like she was very tired.

  "Hmm" Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly.

  The next day, just as the sky was slightly bright, Leng Ruo Xue and his group were preparing to depart when they unexpectedly ran into Ju Ri again at the entrance of the inn.

  "What a coincidence! Are you going to participate in the trial at Moon Capital? Why don't we travel together, it's safer that way!" Yu Ri smiled and said.

  "Brother Ju, we won't be going to Yue Du for the time being, so it's really not on our way." Leng Ruoxue said calmly. She wanted to take another road, and she had already inquired about it clearly. The person sitting in that car was a princess, and also the most favored princess of the Emperor of Nan Xi Country. And she had never been interested in such things. If there was such a spoiled princess on the way, it would definitely be a big trouble.

  "Yes, Brother Gu, we still have other things to do, let's not go to the Moon Capital for now." Feng Mo Ran also said, he knew that Xue Er didn't want to walk with them together, so of course he had to cooperate with Xue Er.

  "Alright then, I'll see you next month." said Juren with some disappointment.

  "Ruoxue, why don't you go with them?" Feng Ao said somewhat puzzled.

  "What a hassle!"

  "Let's take another road!" said Leng Ruoxue.

  "If it snows, another road is not easy to walk!" Autumn old man reminded.

  "Autumn Elder, we haven't walked many good roads on this journey either!" said Leng Ruoxue. Her main purpose was to let them temper themselves, if they came to enjoy blessings, it would be better to just let Yu bring them flying.

  "That mountain is called Thousand Cries Mountain, the highest and most dangerous within the borders of Nanzhuo. We must cross Thousand Cries Mountain to reach the road that leads to Yuè Dū." Lěng Qíng Tiān explained, gazing at the mountain not far away.

  "Is everyone ready?"

  "Yes!"

  "Depart." Leng Ruoxue ordered.
