As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 843: Chapter 267: Emperor Xi Xi Sets Out Again to Talent Pass, Impressing the Grandmaster – Part 2

“A promising child.”

“However, this time, you and she are competitors, and you must not hold back.”

“You understand, this time… it’s your only chance to change your fate…”

“Otherwise, as a clan junior, your life is not your own.”

Yun He said softly.

Yun E’s parents passed away early, and combined with her stunning beauty and special constitution.

If she can become the direct disciple of the Sect Master this time, her status will rise significantly, bringing great benefits to the Yun Family, and only then can she break free from the shackles of the Noble Families, to control her own destiny.

But if she fails…

Yun E’s long eyelashes trembled slightly as she lowered her head: “Family Head, Yun E understands.”

Yun He nodded.

On the other side, Zhou Peng happily greeted Xi Xi and then, under Xi Xi’s envious gaze, casually grabbed a hot meat bun, stuffing it into his mouth to chew.

“Xi Xi!”

In the distance, a burly figure broke through the wind and rain, accompanied by a graceful figure in a pale yellow dress.

It was Xi Xi’s senior brother Bian Yuanlong and senior sister Sang Guanyin.

Beside Sang Guanyin, dressed in a white robe of a Minor Supervisor of the Qintian Observatory, Sang Yu leisurely followed, gently waving a paper fan.

“Elder Li.”

Bian Yuanlong saw Li Che, saluting respectfully with clasped fists.

The current Li Che is the Fifth Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, a very prestigious position within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Li Che wore a gentle smile, nodding slightly.

Xi Xi, seeing Sang Guanyin and Bian Yuanlong, immediately became happy, burrowing into Sang Guanyin’s embrace. She was always with Sang Guanyin in the Golden Light Prefecture, so they were very close.

“Xi Xi, you have to work hard. If you become the Sect Master’s direct disciple, your senior sister will have someone to rely on within the Divine Sect!”

Sang Guanyin gently ruffled Xi Xi’s head.

Xi Xi suddenly became spirited, puffing out her small belly, patting her chest loudly.

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Yin Yin! Xi Xi is very strong now!”

“Against opponents like Hai Chao Sheng, Xi Xi can kick them away, one at a time!”

Xi Xi was very proud, raising her chin with confidence.

Sang Guanyin chuckled lightly.

The robust Bian Yuanlong followed them, chuckling foolishly.

“Xi Xi, your talent and strength are undeniable, but you must recognize your opponents clearly…”

Sang Guanyin said very seriously.

She pointed to the distance, where a luxurious carriage was parked. On the shaft of the carriage, a young man dressed in plain clothes sat quietly, holding an engraving knife in his hand, constantly turning it, letting the shavings fall as he carved a Divine Sculpture.

“He is Gongshu Wentian, from the Divine Capital Gongsu Family, a family stronger than the Su Family, rumored to have blood relations with the Chief of the Qintian Observatory… your biggest rival.”

Sang Guanyin introduced solemnly to Xi Xi.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi couldn’t help but look over.

The young man in plain clothes had a ponytail, and as if sensing Xi Xi’s gaze, slightly lifted his eyelids, revealing a handsomely sculpted face.

“Wow! So handsome!”

Xi Xi covered her mouth.

Li Che, who was beside her, turned dark-faced.

Xi Huangmao, enough is enough!

Sang Guanyin was also speechless, though she was used to Xi Xi’s personality, this little girl… unlike Uncle Li’s gentle and elegant manner, she might grow up to be a little ruffian.

“You can’t slack off just because he looks good, give it your all, understand?”

Sang Guanyin advised.

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Yin Yin, someone this handsome, if beaten up, would surely look good even when crying!”

Xi Xi clenched her little fist.

Bian Yuanlong behind her rubbed his close-cropped hair, his eyes widening.

Is this what my junior sister really is?

Gongshu Wentian’s engraving knife trembled slightly, vaguely sensing Xi Xi’s aggressive gaze.

“That Heavenly Sculpture prodigy, the youngest ever Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, Li Che’s daughter?”

Gongshu Wentian’s lips curled slightly.

A five-year-old girl posed no threat to him.

In fact, Gongshu Wentian never considered anyone present to be his rival.

The ancient He of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect was not up to par, nor was Xuan Yue of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, the Seven Treasures Divine Sect’s Ning Caihe couldn’t compare, and neither could Lv Qingxuan of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect…

Gongshu Wentian was too proud.

After all, he hailed from the Gongshu Family.

One of the Great Vista’s three ancient families, the Gongshu Family, a family that bore the Great Supervising Minister!

There is a saying in the world.

A court as ephemeral as flowing water, but an ancient family as firm as iron.

And among the three ancient families, one is the Gongshu Family.

Thus, Gongshu Wentian did not consider Xi Xi as a rival.

Compared to Li Nuanxi, Gongshu Wentian… was more interested in her father, the Divine Sculpture Master Li Che!

It was heard that Li Che might have a chance to break through to the realm of the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint in the future, and seemed to have acquired the Tang Family’s mechanical techniques’ legacy… Gongshu Wentian was extremely interested, and with the thought, his engraving knife worked faster, every hair on his body trembled in excitement.

Spirit Wood Shavings fell and swirled around.

Gongshu Wentian shifted his gaze to Li Che, his mouth slowly curving into a grin.

Li Che was holding an umbrella for Zhang Ya when he suddenly sensed a heated gaze.

His eyes swept over, and he saw Gongshu Wentian’s wolf-like eyes.

Facing Li Che’s gaze, Gongshu Wentian raised the wood carving in his hand.

The wood carving…

It depicted the Temple God, the Two-Minded Great Sage, from the Mysterious Temple suppressed by the Divine Carving Ridge.

Gongshu Family…

What is their relation with Gongshu Jingjun?

Li Che gave a gentle smile, not paying too much attention.

Sang Guanyin held Xi Xi, introducing each opponent to her.

Gu He, Xuan Yue, Lv Qingxuan, Ning Caihe…
