Upon hearing the girl’s words, the young man on the bed spoke, “Jingyue, never underestimate any opponent. That is what our father always taught us.”
The girl smiled and replied, “I know, I know. I would never look down upon a descendant of the Ye clan.”
As the siblings conversed, the sound of footsteps echoed from the staircase of the attic. Two figures approached with steady strides.
The girl looked at the man and woman and exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Rong, Xiao Yin, what brings you here?”
She teased, “Xiao Rong, you ranked sixth in the assessment. Are you不服气that my brother ranked third and want to challenge him, just like Liang Yusheng challenged Ye Wushuang?”
However, Xiao Rong, dressed in martial attire with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, ignored the girl and turned his gaze to the young man on the bed.
“Qin Cangsheng!”
Xiao Rong said directly, “I know that there is a great conflict between your Qin clan and Ye Wushuang. This time, with you ranking third and your sister Qin Jingyue ranking eighth, are you two planning to kill Ye Wushuang?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Cangsheng’s eyebrows lifted. He rose from the bed and looked at Xiao Rong, a faint smile on his face. “How we act is none of your business.”
“Whether Ye Wushuang lives or dies is of no concern to us, but as for Xiao Yuan, I hope you won’t harm him,” Xiao Rong said bluntly. “He is a member of our Xiao clan, and if he must die, it should be at the hands of someone from our own clan!”
Xiao Yuan?
Qin Cangsheng waved his hand and said, “If he gets in our way, I will kill him regardless.”
Xiao Rong looked at Qin Cangsheng, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent. He then left the attic with his sister Xiao Yin.
After watching the siblings leave, Qin Jingyue asked, “Brother, this Xiao Yuan, I remember he is a collateral descendant of the Xiao clan. Why is he being hunted?”
Qin Cangsheng replied slowly, “I heard that he awakened his bloodline power. It seems that someone from the main line of the Xiao clan can’t tolerate him.”
“The people of the Xiao clan are truly foolish,” Qin Jingyue remarked.
Qin Cangsheng responded, “The people of the Xiao clan may be foolish, but aren’t some of our own Qin clan just as bad?”
“For the sake of a mere Qin Hao, we lost a strong warrior at the Yuanfu stage and two top-notch experts at the Ningmai stage. And… the situation is still unresolved!”
“And just a few days ago, the people our clan sent to Liuyue City were all killed, without even managing to gather any information.”
“What?” Qin Jingyue’s face turned pale.
Qin Cangsheng continued, “It seems that someone from the Dark Soul Hall has intervened…”
The Dark Soul Hall?
Why would someone from the Dark Soul Hall target the Qin clan?
Qin Cangsheng waved his hand and said, “Let the clan’s higher-ups deal with this matter. Our focus should be on winning first place in the Lingyun Mountain trial. Killing Ye Wushuang will be a mere afterthought. More importantly, we need to compete with Chu Haoyu and Shang Mingjie.”
Qin Jingyue immediately affectionately linked her arm with her brother’s and said with a smile, “Although brother ranked third in the entrance assessment, in terms of strength, you are no less than Ye Wushuang or Chu Haoyu. They stand no chance against you.”
“Hmm.”
At the same time, on the other side, Ye Wushuang and his group, who had entered the attic to rest, each chose a room to prepare for the assessment that would begin the next day.
Knock, knock, knock…
The sound of knocking on the door rang out.
“Come in.”
Wang Xueqi entered the room, seemingly hesitant, and looked at Ye Wushuang.
“What’s the matter?”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “We’ve known each other for a while now. We’re friends. You can just speak your mind.”
Wang Xueqi then said, “After you left, a few days ago, a group of strangers appeared in Liuyue City. They were likely from the Qin clan. My father was quite frightened at the time.”
“But then, these people from the Qin clan disappeared for no apparent reason…”
“And during those days, only people from the Dark Soul Hall in the capital went to Liuyue City, claiming they were busy with the reconstruction of the Shihun Hall in Liuyue City…”
Wang Xueqi, being as intelligent as she was, could sense something suspicious about this.
Ye Wushuang said directly, “It was I who sent the people from the Dark Soul Hall to Liuyue City.”
“Really you?”
Wang Xueqi was taken aback.
