Chapter 249 Tianshu Pavilion
“I feel bad.”
Que Yu narrowed her eyes. They've only known each other for a short time, and she's already feeling sorry for her?
"That cost quite a few high-grade spirit stones..."
Que Yu: "..."
Yun Fuzhao is now immune to Que Yu. She's used to things, so she wouldn't be surprised if someone by her side turned into Que Yu.
"You deliberately revealed your identity today," Yun Fuzhao looked at him, "Let me guess, it's probably because you're afraid Yu Che will reveal some secret, right?"
Que Yu nodded, "You're not as stupid as I thought."
Yun Fuzhao chuckled, "If you want to fight me, hurry up and do it. I'm in a hurry to go back to sleep."
"What's the rush?" Que Yu saw her rubbing her eyes sleepily, and changed the subject. "When old friends meet, shouldn't we catch up?"
"...I really wish I could live like you, shameless and brazen."
It's a life-or-death relationship, why call us old friends?
To be honest, Que Yu didn't think he had a particularly good temper. If anyone else dared to speak to him like that, they'd be buried with grass three feet tall.
And Yun Fuzhao...
Que Yu's gaze swept over her face. She was quite interesting; it would be a pity to kill her now.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Yun Fuzhao tentatively used Wuji to stab him.
The sword tip had just approached his throat when he easily flicked it away with his finger. "With your current cultivation level, you think you can kill me?"
His laugh was both playful and provocative. "It's exhausting."
Yun Fuzhao withdrew Wuji, "You're a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, why are you so fixated on me?"
Thinking of something, she asked, "Could it be that Yu Nian'er instructed them?"
Que Yu paused for a second, then asked, "What do you think?"
"That's unlikely. How could she possibly order around a ghost lord like you?" Yun Fuzhao was too lazy to think about it anymore. "You're not going to fight, huh? If you're not going to fight, I'm leaving."
Que Yu choked back a sob, and a dark thought suddenly popped into his mind: the more impatient she was with him, the more he should do whatever she wanted. Why not lock her up in the ghost realm, making her his caged bird?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Que Yu raised his hand.
Before the ghostly aura could dissipate, it was repelled by the fierce spiritual energy.
Jiaoyu stared at him. "She said she was sleepy, didn't you hear her?"
"What a loyal dog," Que Yu said with a smirk, his eyes narrowed. "I wonder if the former dragons would be turning in their graves if they knew you were a dog for humans?"
Jiaoyu hated it when others mentioned the dragon race, and her face showed obvious anger.
He's still young, and all his emotions are written on his face, making it easy for others to manipulate his emotions.
Que Yu stopped. "Why don't you cooperate with me? I can help you regain your position as the overlord of the Six Realms. What do you say?"
He patiently guided him, saying, "At that time, you will be able to rewrite the glorious history of the dragon race."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I'm helping you, but there are conditions. I've been stuck at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years, struggling to ascend. If you give me half of the dragon's blood, I can ascend. That's my condition."
Half dragon blood will not harm your foundation.
Jiaoyu did not speak.
"I'll give you time to think it over," Que Yu said. "If you've made up your mind, come find me."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
Jiaoyu lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
……
Over the next twenty days, Yun Fuzhao used all his skills to teach her everything he could.
Xunliu and the others are all quite perceptive; they're just typical examples of people who haven't encountered good resources. They've been making rapid progress these past few days.
Yun Fuzhao believed that if they were given more time, they would definitely grow into capable leaders.
As for Yu Zhiyue, her comprehension was indeed somewhat lacking, but after experiencing the Yu family incident, she matured overnight. Not only did she become more composed, but she also cultivated with unparalleled diligence.
Soon, the grand sect competition belonging to the Northern Continent began.
Hu Zhiyuan, who had been playing a background role all day, suddenly appeared and said to Yun Fuzhao, "This time, bring my son along for the competition."
It wasn't a tone of discussion at all; it was a command.
His son, Hu Chengcai.
Yun Fuzhao had heard Yu Zhiyue mention him before; he was a typical spoiled brat, idle all day long and extremely arrogant. He looked down on everyone.
If the son of an unknown clan patriarch is this arrogant, then the great clans must be so proud of themselves.
Yu Zhiyue whispered to Yun Fuzhao, "Master, that person is difficult to get along with. If we let him participate, we won't have a peaceful journey."
Seemingly sensing their disapproval, Hu Zhiyuan's face hardened. "Yun Chao, don't forget, I am the patriarch of the Nameless Clan. Whoever I say goes, goes."
This is the truth. Although Yun Fuzhao is the acting clan leader, the participants in the aristocratic family competition still have to go through him, since the stamps that need to be affixed are still in his hands.
Unlike the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent also has an independent judicial organization called the Celestial Pivot Pavilion.
When conflicts arise among the major families, this organization will handle them collectively.
Such a large-scale competition among aristocratic families would naturally be subject to their review.
Yun Fuzhao heard that the head of the Tian Shu Pavilion was called the Chief Judge by the people of the Northern Continent. His cultivation was unfathomable, and there were rumors that he was a divine official sent down from the Upper Realm to maintain order in the cultivation world.
In the Northern Continent, no one failed to respect him.
To get back to the point, without Hu Zhiyuan's seal symbolizing the nameless family, they wouldn't be able to pass the Tian Shu Pavilion's trial. In that case, they wouldn't even be qualified to participate.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Yun Fuzhao had no choice but to agree. "Alright, then bring your son along."
After all, she couldn't just forcibly seize the seal; if the Tian Shu Pavilion found out, they might take some measures.
Moreover, the regulations stipulated that there must be eight people participating in the aristocratic family competition, and the number of them combined was exactly one short.
Once the participants are confirmed, the Tian Shu Pavilion will announce the list of participants in the competition after a half-day review.
During this period, Yun Fuzhao briefly learned about other aristocratic families. As for the Shangguan family, Yun Fuzhao had no intention of surpassing them.
The Yu family and the Gongsun family were also directly rejected.
Yun Fuzhao has excluded two or three top-tier families; she only needs to fully understand the bottom-ranking families.
The Guan family and the Ji family are both relatively weak among the major aristocratic families.
To Yun Fuzhao's surprise, the Yuchi family was actually quite powerful.
Soon, Tian Shu Pavilion announced the list of participants in the Grand Family Competition.
Yun Fuzhao saw the familiar name above and sighed. Yu Nian'er had indeed participated.
As the contractors of Phoenix, how could the Yu family possibly waste such a golden opportunity?
However, this put Yun Fuzhao in a difficult position. Yu Nian'er knew all of her tricks, and if the two of them faced off, her identity would be exposed.
The best way is to avoid her.
Zuo Youyun Fuzhao's target was not the Yu family.
After the list was announced, the competition rules for this grand family contest were revealed.
The competition was held in the Sea of Illusion.
This is a notorious, treacherous place where people are devoured without spitting out their bones.
This is getting a bit tricky.
