I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Xu Jiaqun was all smiles, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

His eyes were filled with composure and confidence.

The head of the Xu family estate began to slowly delegate power to him three years ago, after he turned twenty.

He chose the Martial Arts Academy because he knew it.

The martial arts academy is the foundation upon which Xu's Cloth Shop has been able to stand firm in Yong'an County.

The martial arts masters who graduated from the martial arts academy all have deep ties with the Xu family's cloth shop.

Xu's Cloth Shop also tried to win over these martial arts masters with sincerity.

The essence of the Martial Arts Academy lies in young people with martial arts talent.

Being able to recommend a talented martial artist to the Martial Arts Academy is a merit that deserves to be recorded.

Over the past three years, he has gradually brought many people to the Martial Arts Academy.

These people were all his confidants, and they were the key figures who would enable him to control the entire Xu's Cloth Shop in the future.

After three years of planning, he had already considered himself the heir to the Xu Family Cloth Shop.

He also regarded the Martial Arts Academy as being right next to his bedside and attached great importance to it.

Therefore, Xu Jiayin's quiet act of sending people to the Martial Arts Academy violated his taboo.

That's why he came here today specifically to file a complaint.

As Xu Jiaqun confidently walked to the door, she smiled faintly at the servant waiting there:

"Is the one who passed the Enlightenment Test Yan Xiaofei, whom I introduced two months ago?"

Although it was a question, the voice conveyed certainty.

As he spoke, he smiled and feigned a sigh towards Xu Jiayin inside the room:

"I thought he was just an average person, but I never expected that he would pass the Enlightenment stage in just two months. Hehe."

……

Xu Jiayin's eyelids twitched slightly.

She was a member of the Mo Sect.

Naturally, they knew what it meant to pass the enlightenment test in two months.

In fact, it's not just martial arts; any other system that wants to enter the Dao must also go through the three stages of understanding breath, tempering the body, and guiding Qi into the body.

The only difference is that different systems use different names for these three levels.

This is why she asked Cheng Laiyun to go to the Martial Arts Academy first.

Anyway, the first three stages are all the same, so it doesn't matter who teaches, and she can better prepare for her teaching work after entering the path.

She should be happy that Xu's Cloth Shop can replenish its ranks with top-quality blood like Yan Xiaofei.

But now, she was utterly disgusted by Xu Jiaqun's hypocritical smile.

It felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

Unfortunately, she couldn't refute it; she just moved her lips with a forced smile.

"Heh."

Seeing Xu Jiayin get the short end of the stick, Xu Jiaqun felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.

He was no match for his cousin in cultivation, but being able to surpass her in other areas was enough to give him endless enjoyment.

At this moment, he felt a sense of triumph, and turned to Xu Zhennan, the head of the Xu family estate, to bow and say:

"Uncle, your nephew requests a reward for Yan Xiaofei."

Xu Zhennan had no interest whatsoever in the power struggle between the two younger men.

He sat in the main seat, his large, thick knuckles tapping lightly on the table, making a "tap-tap" sound, and nodded with a light laugh:

"Yes, it's approved."

He then looked at the servant boy and said, "Go to the granary and fetch three catties of top-quality spirit rice. Send it to Yan Xiaofei's house."

Upon hearing the master of the manor speak, the servant's expression became even more respectful.

But after hearing the name mentioned by the manor owner...

The servant looked completely bewildered.

"Yan Xiaofei?"

Actually, he had already wanted to speak when he heard Xu Jiaqun ask about the name "Yan Xiaofei".

Unfortunately, the young master didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the servant's blank look, Xu Zhennan frowned slightly and said with some displeasure:

"Do you have any objections?"

The sound wasn't loud.

But this directly caused the servant's knees to buckle, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"I...I wouldn't dare."

"However... the person who passed the Enlightenment Gate today is not named Yan Xiaofei."

"Call him Cheng Laiyun."

The servant's voice was intermittent, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

I heard this sound.

There was no reaction from the bystanders yet.

The young lady, who was cracking sunflower seeds, suddenly froze.

Her already large eyes widened even more as she exclaimed in surprise:

"Who?!"

The servant cautiously met Xu Jiayin's eyes:

"Cheng... Cheng Laiyun."

"Cheng Laiyun?!"

After receiving an accurate answer from the servant, the young lady immediately dropped the melon seeds in her hand onto the ground.

The young lady was completely unaware of this, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of the servant, somewhat uncertainly saying:

"Are you sure the person who passed the Enlightenment Test today is named Cheng Laiyun?!"

"If I have uttered even a single lie, may the heavens strike me dead with lightning!" The servant swore to the heavens.

……

The young lady was somewhat speechless.

Her cherry-like mouth was wide open.

No one understands Cheng Laiyun better than her.

She could bet that this was Cheng Laiyun's first time experiencing cultivation.

"You mean, he passed the Enlightenment Trial on his very first day at the Martial Arts Academy??"

Xu Jiayin no longer knew how to comment.

Right now, she just feels a little dizzy.

She valued Cheng Laiyun solely because Gao Heyun said that Cheng Laiyun had awakened supernatural powers.

Now it seems that, besides his supernatural powers, Cheng Laiyun's extraordinary talent is also that strong?

"To be precise, it's one incense stick."

A voice came from outside the house.

His voice was hoarse, yet it contained immense authority.

I heard this sound.

Everyone looked outside.

Even Xu Zhennan, the manor lord who was sitting in a chair, stood up, his face no longer showing any trace of authority, but instead beaming with smiles.

"Uncle Huo, what brings you here? Please, have a seat!"

Xu Zhennan's words were full of respect for Huo Dongqu.

Xu Jiayin also stared blankly at the newcomer:

"Grandpa Huo..."

Huo Dongqu wore a faint smile and walked with steady steps. In a short while, he floated into the house from a distance of more than ten feet.

He walked unhurriedly to Xu Zhennan and casually remarked:

"After thinking it over, I decided it would be best to come and tell you in person."

"Cheng Laiyun is a boy with exceptional talent. From the time he first learned Plum Blossom Manor to the time he passed the Enlightenment Stage, it only took him less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

……

A stick of incense?

Is it really just one incense stick?

Even with his extensive experience, Xu Zhennan was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Needless to say, Xu Jiaqun is another example.

Ever since that servant spoke, he's been completely out of sorts...

"Thanks to Jiayin's introduction." Huo Dongqu smiled at Xu Jiayin.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid my Xu family's cloth shop will miss out on excellent materials."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayin puffed out her chest, looking as proud as a general who had won a great victory:

"Grandpa Huo, you flatter me."

The sound was very loud.

Even if Xu Jiaqun didn't want to listen, she couldn't stop the sound from reaching her ears.

"Uncle Huo, please sit down!" Xu Zhennan only then realized what was happening and quickly ordered someone to bring a chair.

"No need. I have only brought this matter to the table and cannot stay any longer."

With that, Huo Dongqu drifted away.

……

Xu Jiaqun walked out of the main hall in a daze.

With the help of the servant, he boarded the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, his face was blank.
