You, a spoiled young master, actually became a god by investing in the Empress and getting a bargain

Liyan Palace.

This is what the disciples of the Three Absolutes Palace often refer to as the Fire Palace.

Compared to the desolate and quiet Heavenly Sword Palace.

The Li Yan Palace seemed much more lively.

Everywhere you look, there are disciples who have just passed the assessment and joined the outer sect of Li Yan Palace.

At this moment, many people noticed that Xiao Yunting was strolling leisurely over from not far away.

They immediately began to discuss it.

"Wasn't he taken away for cheating on the exam? How come he's acting like nothing happened?"

Who knows?

"Shh! Watch your words! This is the heir of the Marquis of Wu's mansion! Be careful what you say!"

Upon hearing this...

The people around quickly shut up as well.

They were originally disciples of the Sanjue Palace's miscellaneous service department.

I've hardly ever gone down the mountain.

How could she possibly know Xiao Yunting?

The disciple who gave them the final advice was a rogue cultivator from the foot of the mountain, so he naturally knew Xiao Yunting.

Those people hadn't expected this either.

The other party turned out to be the heir of the Marquis of Wu's mansion.

This explains why the other party was able to get away with cheating on the exam.

Just as these people were discussing this...

Suddenly, Xiao Yunting's voice rang in her ears.

"Who told you I was taken away for cheating?"

These words were spoken.

These people were also taken aback.

Then he spoke.

"Don't look at us... these are all things Senior Brother Lu said!"

"Senior Brother Lu?"

Xiao Yunting immediately looked puzzled.

Upon seeing this.

One of them added.

"Senior Brother Lu is Lu Yanzhen."

"He is one of the few candidates with mid-level Xuan-rank aptitude in this assessment."

"He has now become an inner disciple of the Xuanxiao Palace."

"We have no reason not to believe what he says..."

The disciple who came from a rogue cultivator background.

Seeing Xiao Yunting's expressionless face, she was also worried that the words of the disciples next to her would implicate her.

So he quickly explained.

"Young Master Xiao! Please don't stoop to their level."

"You've come here to see Senior Sister Lin, who used to be by your side, right?"

"I just saw Prince Lu with his men, they seemed to be going to find Senior Sister Lin too..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunting raised an eyebrow!

That bastard Lu Yanzhen is still up to his old tricks!

It's one thing to ruin my reputation!

After all, I don't have a good reputation either.

But you still haven't given up on Lin Qingxuan!

They really don't take me seriously!

Thinking about this...

Xiao Yunting also walked aggressively into the Li Yan Palace.

These people just noticed that Xiao Yunting didn't cause them any trouble.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, Lin Qingxuan had just bid farewell to her master, Lian Nishang.

On the open ground in front of the main hall of the Li Yan Palace, they encountered Lu Yanzhen and several burly men accompanying him.

After recognizing the person who came.

A hint of disgust flashed across Lin Qingxuan's face.

"Lu Yanzhen, what brings you to my Li Yan Palace?"

Lu Yanzhen heard this.

There was no awkwardness at all from being disliked.

He first bowed to Lin Qingxuan with his hands clasped.

Then he spoke.

"Senior Sister Lin, I'm afraid you don't know yet."

"Now that I have joined the Xuanxiao Palace, we are now fellow disciples."

Upon hearing this...

A cold smile also flashed across Lin Qingxuan's face.

"You belong to the Xuanxiao Palace, and I belong to the Liyan Palace. What kind of senior and junior siblings are we?"

"Just say what you have to say! Don't waste my time!"

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhen stopped pretending.

"Senior Sister Lin is indeed straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either!"

"I now formally invite Senior Sister Lin to become an advisor to my Ningguo Marquis's residence!"

"Whatever the Marquis of Wu's mansion gives you, my Marquis of Ningguo mansion is willing to pay double!"

"If Senior Sister Lin is willing... becoming the Crown Prince's consort in the future is not out of the question!"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxuan's pretty face grew increasingly cold!

How dare you, a mere ant, covet this emperor?

They really don't know what's good for them.

If Lian Ni Chang hadn't reminded Lin Qingxuan to cultivate diligently before leaving Li Yan Palace...

Do not cause trouble before the disciples' competition.

She already took action!

"Get out of here!"

Lin Qingxuan pushed Lu Yanzhen, who was blocking her way, aside and prepared to leave.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Yanzhen suddenly spoke up.

"You don't actually want to go find that good-for-nothing Xiao Yunting, do you?"

"You probably don't know this yet!"

"After you left, Xiao Yunting was taken away for cheating on the exam!"

"They've probably already been expelled from the Three Absolutes Palace."

"What future is there in following such a good-for-nothing?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxuan also stopped and turned to look at Lu Yanzhen behind her.

Then he said in a firm tone.

"He...couldn't have cheated!"

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhen was also surprised that Lin Qingxuan would trust Xiao Yunting so much.

But then a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in Lu Yanzhen's eyes.

So what?

Although he didn't know what happened after Xiao Yunting was taken away by that disciple.

But he was certain.

The list of newly admitted disciples of Xuanxiao Palace and Liyan Palace.

Xiao Yunting's name was not among them.

This means that Xiao Yunting did not pass the test at all!

As for the Heavenly Sword Palace, that's even more impossible!

Jiang Limo, the Palace Master of Tianjian Palace, has always been very strict in selecting disciples.

This even led to the fact that the Heavenly Sword Palace had not had a single new disciple for decades!

How could they possibly allow Xiao Yunting to join the Heavenly Sword Palace?

So there's only one possibility... Xiao Yunting was eliminated!

Moreover, after making this judgment.

He had long ago instructed Wu Shanheng to lead men to ambush Xiao Yunting on the only way down the mountain.

As long as Xiao Yunting dies, Lin Qingxuan, as his maid, will definitely be implicated!

At that time, Lin Qingxuan will only have one option: to seek refuge with the Marquis of Ningguo's family!

The thought of being able to recruit such a top-tier genius with exceptional talent for the Ningguo Marquis's mansion is truly inspiring.

Lu Yan was also incredibly excited!

Most importantly... she's also so beautiful!

Once the other party enters the Ningguo Marquis's mansion, won't they eventually be completely at my mercy?

But just as Lu Yanzhen was making these plans in her mind...

Another familiar voice rang out.

"Lu Yanzhen!"

"You've ruined my reputation, that's one thing."

"She's even shamelessly clinging to my maid!"

"You really have no shame!"

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

When they saw that the person who came was Xiao Yunting.

For some reason, Lin Qingxuan felt a sense of relief.

But Lu Yanzhen's face immediately darkened.

"How could you possibly be here!"

"Shouldn't you have been banished down the mountain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunting slowly walked to Lin Qingxuan's side, and after confirming that she had not been hurt, he...

He then glanced at Lu Yanzhen, whose face was ashen.

His tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"Who told you I was banished from the mountain?"

"Just because I was taken away by the messenger disciple?"

Upon hearing this, a shadow crossed Lu Yanzhen's eyes.

Regardless of the current situation.

In short, let's put a label on Xiao Yunting's head first!

"How dare you, Xiao Yunting!"

"The assessment elders had already given the order."

"Anyone who fails the assessment will either have to leave the mountain or stay in the servants' quarters as a handyman!"

"How dare you venture so deep into the heart of the Three Absolutes Palace!"

Coincidentally.

Just then, a patrol of disciples happened to pass by!

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhen's eyes lit up, and he shouted at the patrolling group of disciples.

"Fellow members of the enforcement team!"

"Someone has infiltrated my Three Absolutes Palace with malicious intent!"

"We implore all fellow disciples to take action and capture him!"
