Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Soon, Xiao Tianzong and the others left the Lu family manor. On the way back, Xiao Tianzong had a gloomy face the whole time.

Once they were far from the Lu family estate, Xiao Tianzong pulled on the reins and stopped, asking, "Xiao Hai, why didn't you take her with you?"

Xiao Hai sighed and said, "Young Master, it's not that we don't want to take Miss away, but even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for her, so how could we possibly take her away?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianzong was stunned; he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Let's leave aside the other martial artists he brought along to make up the numbers. Xiao Hai and another martial artist are both first-rank martial artists, yet Xiao Hai is now telling him that even if they were all together, they wouldn't be a match for Xiao Qingyun.
Two First Rank officials are no match for Xiao Qingyun?
Are you kidding me?
Xiao Tianzong said with a dark face, "Xiao Hai, two first-rank martial artists can't take away a woman? Are you kidding me?"

Xiao Hai said, "Young Master should have sensed the martial arts aura emanating from her just now. From the martial arts aura she released, it can be seen that she has now entered the Grandmaster realm."

"And he's not just an ordinary martial arts master, but a supreme master, just one step away from becoming a grandmaster."

"The two of us at the first rank combined can't even beat a grandmaster, let alone a grandmaster at the extreme level."

Upon hearing Xiao Hai's words, Xiao Tianzong was dumbfounded.

"Grandmaster... Grandmaster???"

"impossible!!!"

"How could she possibly be a grandmaster!"

Xiao Tianzong couldn't believe that his sister was a grandmaster. He also knew that Xiao Qingyun had some strength. If she didn't, she wouldn't always use protecting the Prince of Xiaoyao as an excuse to stay at the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion.

But even if she is strong, she can't possibly be a grandmaster. Xiao Hai actually said that she is an extreme grandmaster and is only one step away from becoming a great grandmaster.
If that's the case, the Xiao family will not only not let her get married, but they will even treat her like royalty.

After all, that's someone who has the potential to become a Grandmaster!

At this moment, Xiao Tianzong's gaze fell on the face of the first-rank martial artist he had invited.

Xiao Hai was a martial artist from the Xiao family. Xiao Tianzong subconsciously suspected that Xiao Hai might have received some favor from Xiao Qingyun in the past, which was why he fabricated such an outrageous lie.

He wanted to hear what the first-rank martial artist he had invited had to say.

Just then, the first-rank martial artist said, "Young master, Xiao Hai is right, Miss Xiao is indeed a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm."

Seeing that even another first-rank martial artist said the same thing, Xiao Tianzong was stunned for a moment. After a while, he came to his senses and said with a dark face, "Let's go!"

He had to tell his father this news as soon as possible. The Xiao family might produce a Grandmaster, which was huge news for the Xiao family. Moreover, Xiao Qingyun could no longer stay in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

As a member of the Xiao family, possessing such great strength, yet instead of contributing to the Xiao family, he shamelessly clings to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. What kind of behavior is this?

At this moment, Xiao Qingyun was standing at the entrance of the Lu family manor. After watching Xiao Tianzong and the others leave, she was about to return to the manor when she suddenly noticed someone spying on her from the forest not far away.

Xiao Qingyun's gaze immediately turned to the forest, and she drew her sword. "Who goes there!"

Immediately afterward, she leaped out and ran straight towards the forest. The person spying in the forest, realizing that he had been discovered, turned around and left the forest without any hesitation. By the time Xiao Qingyun arrived, the person spying in the dark had already disappeared.

Xiao Qingyun jumped onto a large tree, glanced at the trampling marks on the branches, and after confirming that someone was indeed secretly watching her, she climbed down from the tree and returned to the manor without giving chase.

Lu Ming's task for her was to protect the Lu family estate; nothing else was her concern. Moreover, she was worried that Lu Ming was trying to lure her away from the area.

a few days later.

The news that Xiao Qingyun was a Grandmaster spread throughout the capital, shocking countless people. Grandmasters under thirty weren't unheard of, but Xiao Qingyun lacked a powerful backing, and given that she was a woman, her ability to break through to the Grandmaster realm before the age of thirty was truly unbelievable.

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Lu Ming sat cross-legged in the pavilion in the courtyard, his eyes slightly closed, quietly absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

At this moment, Xiao Huan rushed into the courtyard, "Your Majesty, the news that Miss Xiao is a Grandmaster has spread throughout the entire capital."

Upon hearing Xiao Huan's words, Lu Ming, who was cultivating, opened his eyes. He didn't care much about this matter; he had already expected it.

Xiao Qingyun was guarding the Lu family manor. So many forces infiltrated the Lu family manor in search of immortal techniques, and they would inevitably clash with Xiao Qingyun. Once they clashed, they would naturally realize Xiao Qingyun's strength.

After Xiao Qingyun's strength was exposed, it not only did not cause any harm, but it also brought benefits.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming said to Xiao Huan, "Xiao Huan, have Sister Yun come to me."

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, Su Wanyun, dressed in a purple cloud-patterned dress, stepped into the courtyard.

She had also heard about Xiao Qingyun's exposed strength, so she wanted to see what Lu Ming's next move would be.

After arriving at the pavilion, Su Wanyun said, "Qingyun's strength can probably no longer be hidden."

Lu Ming said with a smile, "Actually, there's no need to hide it at all."

Su Wanyun said, "Qingyun has the strength of a Grandmaster at such a young age, and she doesn't have a powerful sect behind her. People will definitely speculate whether the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion gave her some treasure. In the future, there will be even more people eyeing the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."

Lu Ming said, "That's true, but this is actually a good thing for the current Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."

Su Wanyun asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Lu Ming said, "Blood Lotus."

Su Wanyun instantly realized what Lu Ming meant.

Nowadays, many forces in the martial arts world have flocked to the capital, all for the sake of the legendary spiritual object.

At this very moment, Xiao Qingyun suddenly possessed the strength of a Grandmaster, which inevitably led some to suspect that the Xiaoyao Royal Palace had given Xiao Qingyun the Blood Lotus, thus enabling her to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

Once the Blood Lotus is used, those martial arts forces that covet it will naturally stop staying in the capital.

Lu Ming continued, "Sister Yun, later you should have someone spread the news that Sister Xiao took the Blood Lotus."

Su Wanyun said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

At this point, Su Wanyun was about to turn and leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lu Ming meaningfully.

Seeing Su Wanyun looking at him as if she wanted to say something, Lu Ming asked, "Sister Yun, is there anything else?"

Su Wanyun asked, "Are you... are you alright?"

In the past few days, Su Wanyun noticed that Lu Ming had stopped calling Dongfang Liyue to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

She used to disapprove of Dongfang Liyue frequently coming to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion to exploit Lu Ming, but since learning that Lu Ming sent Dongfang Liyue to the mansion to alleviate the toxins in his body, she's actually become somewhat worried when Dongfang Liyue stops coming.
