Ouyang Jinyue was going to participate in the selection this time. One of Ouyangâs ancestors was selected before and it was said that he was already a Golden Core cultivator.
However, that was already a long time ago and this Golden Core cultivator already had a great many descendants in the boundary of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect realm. The Ouyang family members related to that Golden Core cultivator had also fallen one after another.
Because of his blood tie, this Golden Core cultivator took care of the Ouyang family. However, what he cared about most were the children he had at the Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
For the development of Ouyang family, Ouyang family would select teenagers and young girls of the right age to participate in the selection every year. However, because of the fierce competition, no one had been selected for decades. Ouyang Jinyueâs qualifications were said to be very good, so the Ouyang family had high hopes for her this time.
âKid, do you know the way to Star City?â Ouyang Jinyue asked Xiao Xiaofan.
Xiao Xiaofan nodded his head and said,âI know.â
Ouyang Jinyue snorted and said,âLiar.â
Xiao Xiaofan puffed his cheek and said,âHow did I lie? We have a map.â
Ouyang Jinyue glanced at the map and said,âThis map is inaccurate. According to this map, the most you will be able to go is the outskirts of Star City. You wonât be able to get inside.â
âWhy canât I go inside?!â Xiao Xiaofan asked.
âThe entire Star City is shrouded in an illusionary formation.â Ouyang Jinyue said smugly.
Xiao Xiaofanâs eyes widened as he said,âHow big an illusion formation would that be?!â
Ouyang Jinyue snorted, showing off. âI donât know, Star Cityâs illusion Formation was set up by a Golden Core cultivator.â
âGolden Core cultivator, is he very powerful?â Xiao Xiaofan asked.
Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan with disgust and said,âIf a Golden Core cultivator isnât powerful, who is?! Youâve never even seen a Golden Core cultivator, have you?â
Xiao Xiaofan nodded seriously and said,âIâve never seen them before!â Xiao Xiaofan tilted his head and asked,âHave you seen them?â
Ouyang Jinyue said awkwardly,âNo.â
Xiao Xiaofan hissed. âYou havenât seen them either, and youâre still shushing me.â
âJinyue, come back.â
Upon hearing Ouyang Mingyueâs words, Ouyang Jinyue smiled apologetically at Xiao Jingting and returned to the Ouyang familyâs convoy.
â¦
âMiss Jinyue, how can you hang out with people like that? You might not know, but this Xiao Jingting behaves improperly, covets his brotherâs wife and lingers in brothels and uses happy powder! Like father like son, with his father like this, how could his son be any better? Miss is kind-hearted, but there are many bad people in this world. If you are not careful, Miss, you will be used by someone.â Seeing Ouyang Jinyue come back, Qian Yu said a bunch of stuff.
Ouyang Jinyue glanced at Qian Yu, somewhat dissatisfied, saying,âAunt Yu, where did you hear all this news from?! Rumors can not be trusted.â
When Ouyang Jinyue was even younger, she was very fond of Qian Yu. But as she grew up, she became more sensible, and saw that Qian Yu was always acting fake and vaguely wanted to control her, so Ouyang Jinyue alienated Qian Yu a lot.
Qian Yu glanced towards Ouyang Jing but she didnât say anything.
âAunt Yu, you can go.â Ouyang Jinyue gave Qian Yu a glance.
Qian Yuâs mouth corners twitched as she reluctantly retreated.
Ouyang Mingyue narrowed her eyes as she thought: Qian Yu was originally from her motherâs family side. At the beginning, she was very good to Jinyue, but lately her heart seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
â¦â¦
Xiao Jingting touched his chin, digesting Ouyang Jinyueâs words.
âThe Star City is shrouded in the illusion formation. No wonder people say that they may not be able to find Star City even when they reach the Star Cityâs boundary.â Xiao Jingting thought as he said.
Xiao Xiaofan hugged his milk jug and said,âFather, according to that girl, the Green Cloud Immortal Sect sounds very domineering!â
âDoes Xiaofan want to go?â Xiao Jingting asked with a smile.
Xiao Xiaofan shook his head hurriedly and said,âI donât want to!â
âWhy?â Xiao Jingting asked.
Xiao Xiaofan was somehow embarrassed as he said,âI want to stay beside father and daddy.â
Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaofanâs head and said,âWhat a helpless boy!â
Xiao Xiaofan rubbed against Xiao Jingtingâs hand and giggled.
Their family were joking when Qian Yu angrily walked towards Xiao Jingting and others, saying,âI heard that you are Xiao Qingyanâs brother and like your own sister-in-law? You are indecent!â
Xiao Jingting,ââ¦â He had already changed a long time ago. Now, he was known in Desert City as a typical prodigal who had changed his ways. Who in Desert City wouldnât give a thumbs-up when they met him?! Well, it was like a low-ranking official at the prime ministerâs door. The people from Desert City were like country bumpkins in the eyes of the people of Marquisâ household.
âThatâs all in the past.â Xiao Jingting said. Well, he couldnât deny what the original body owner did in the past.
âHumph, itâs hard to change oneâs nature, when human nature is so hard to change. But you can say so easily that the past is the past.â Qian Yu sneered coldly.
Xiao Jingting,ââ¦â What was so noble about coming from the Marquisâ household! After all, he was a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Practice. This woman was only at the sixth level of Qi Practice but didnât take him seriously at all.
Xiao Jingting secretly rolled his eyes and thought:âHow horrible this wet nurse is!â
âMiss Jinyue is the eldest lady of Ouyang family. You should recognize your own identity. Miss Jinyue is different from you, like clouds to mud. I know what you are up to.â Qian Yu said.
Xiao Jingting,ââ¦â She was just a little girl. What ideas could he have?
âWhatâs the difference between the clouds and the mud?â Xiao Xiaofan asked curiously.
Qian Yuâs face darkened as she looked gloomily at Xiao Xiaofan. Then she said,âThe difference between clouds and mud is that Miss Jinyue is superior, and you will not be able to catch up with Miss in your lifetime.â
Xiao Xiaofan unconcernedly said,âShe is not much taller than me! Iâve been growing fast lately. So soon, Iâll be taller than her.â
Qian Yu looked at Xiao Xiaofan with hopeless eyes. Xiao Xiaofan blinked innocently.
âIdiot.â Qian Yu snorted lightly and turned around to leave.
Xiao Xiaodongâs eyes became cold as he looked at Qian Yuâs receding figure.
