CHAPTER 2236: CHAPTER 2213: JI YUN

On the Island of Stars, in Li Jiuge’s palace.

"You ten are the warriors I’ve had the Southern Yard recommend for the Quasi-Saint Son Selection!"

"This year’s Quasi-Saint Son Selection, like in previous years, takes place in the Tianfu Secret Realm. As long as you can enter the Divine Peak, you will be considered a Quasi-Saint Son!"

Li Jiuge sat in a high position and said calmly: "Ji Yun!"

Below, a young man clasped his hands and said: "Ji Yun greets Senior Brother Li!"

Li Jiuge said indifferently: "Ji Yun, although you are not a warrior on the Life-and-Death Ranking, I have hidden you away for years to cultivate you in secret. Now, your strength is comparable to Qin Tang’s!"

"It’s time for you to surface!"

"You are one of the most hopeful warriors among these ten to become a Quasi-Saint Son. I hope you won’t disappoint me."

Li Jiuge said indifferently.

Originally, Ji Yun was a prodigy in the Southern Yard. After being discovered by Li Jiuge, he was secretly cultivated. Now, after years of secret training, with the Quasi-Saint Son Selection opening, Li Jiuge finally let Ji Yun surface.

Ji Yun smiled lightly: "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Li, I will definitely become a Quasi-Saint Son, and then clear the path for you in the Saint Battle, allowing you to become a Saint without any obstacles!"

Li Jiuge smiled faintly and nodded silently.

At this moment, Zhu Jingyi entered the palace and handed a jade slip to Li Jiuge, saying: "Senior Brother Li, these are the warriors recommended this year by the Dongzhou Academy, including those recommended by the Lan Clan!"

Li Jiuge took it and immediately saw a glaring name: "Lin Bai? The Lan Clan actually recommended Lin Bai? He’s not a member of the Lan Clan, why would he receive their recommendation?"

Zhu Jingyi said: "I’ve already inquired about this with the Lan Clan. They claim Lin Bai is the fiancé of Lan Yuxin, thus he received the recommendation!"

"The Lan Clan also gave the recommendation originally belonging to Lan Xinghe to Lin Bai!"

Li Jiuge put away the jade slip and smiled meaningfully: "Lan Xinghe? I remember Lan Xinghe’s father... seems to be Lan Zhaoqing, right?"

Zhu Jingyi nodded slightly.

"Lan Zhaoqing, he’s one of the Lan Clan’s elders!" Li Jiuge smiled slightly.

At this moment, Ji Yun frowned and asked: "Senior Brother Li, is Lin Bai the one causing a stir in the Southern Yard lately, always opposing Senior Brother Li?"

Zhu Jingyi laughed: "Senior Brother Ji Yun, you’re right. This person indeed always opposes Senior Brother Li, causing him to lose his Dragon Blood Crystal Stone and opportunities in the Divine Demon Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yun immediately laughed: "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Li. If I encounter this person in the Tianfu Secret Realm, I’ll definitely vent this anger for you!"

Li Jiuge chuckled lightly: "Ji Yun, if you can vent this anger for me, I have additional rewards for you upon your return!"

Ji Yun said joyfully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"

Li Jiuge laughed: "The same goes for all of you. Whoever can kill Lin Bai in the Tianfu Secret Realm, I will definitely reward you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"

The other nine all clasped their hands and said.

"Go and prepare." Li Jiuge said with a smile.

Immediately, Ji Yun and the other nine left the palace together!

"Lin Bai!" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Li Jiuge’s mouth.

"I remember Wang Qing seems to be one of the defenders of the Divine Peak in this Tianfu Secret Realm, right?"

Li Jiuge asked.

Zhu Jingyi nodded and said: "Yes, in the Tianfu Secret Realm, there are eight paths to the top of the Divine Peak, and the Dongzhou Academy has chosen two Quasi-Saint Sons as guardians from each of the Four Great Courts!"

"Our Southern Yard chose two Quasi-Saint Sons, one being Wang Qing, the other being Lan Yuxin!"

Li Jiuge chuckled: "Good, go call Wang Qing over, I have something to arrange for him!"

"Yes." Zhu Jingyi responded and left the palace!

Half a day later, Wang Qing came to the palace and then left again.

Only when Wang Qing left, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Abolish cultivation..., very well. This boy’s grudge in the Divine Demon Secret Realm, should also be settled with him!"

"Now, just as Senior Brother Li also wants to deal with him, even if this matter gets exposed, Senior Brother Li will take the blame!"

After a cruel smile, Wang Qing left the Southern Yard!

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

On this day, Lin Bai found Bauer and the turtle, as well as Hu Xiner, explained that he was leaving Dragon Raising Island, and then turned to leave.

"Let’s head to the Lan Clan first."

Lin Bai remembered when Lan Yuxin came to Dragon Raising Island to find him, she said to gather at the Lan Clan in ten days and head to the Tianfu Secret Realm together!

Within the Lan Clan!

"Halt! This place belongs to the Lan Clan. What is your business here?" As Lin Bai approached the Lan Clan, a warrior from the Lan Clan flew into the air and clasped his hands in front of Lin Bai, speaking.

"I am Lin Bai, recommended by the Lan Clan to participate in the Quasi-Saint Son Selection. Today, I have come to the Lan Clan to report!" Lin Bai clasped his hands and said.

"You are Lin Bai! Lan Yuxin’s fiancé?" The Lan Clan disciple said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai felt a bit helpless deep down, but he nodded silently.

The Lan Clan disciple clasped his hands and said: "Please pardon me, Young Master Lin. Now that the disciples participating in the Quasi-Saint Son Selection are about to depart, please follow me!"

"Thank you." Lin Bai expressed his gratitude and followed the warrior into the Lan Clan.

Before arriving at a secluded courtyard, the disciple said: "Please rest here, Young Master Lin. Once the other clan members participating in the Quasi-Saint Son Selection are ready, I’ll come to notify you!"

"Thank you." Lin Bai clasped his hands in respectful acknowledgment.

The disciple smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Lin Bai entered the courtyard and found it exceptionally quiet, with formations all over the place. However, these formations were suppressed at the moment and not activated.

The courtyard was filled with exotic flowers and plants, emanating a fragrant aroma.

"This courtyard is quite nice!"

"The Lan Clan truly deserves to be one of the ancient families in Dongzhou, even the guest courtyards are built so exquisitely!"

As he walked through the courtyard, admiring the flowers, Lin Bai spoke with admiration.

"Splash—"

Suddenly, at this moment, the sound of splashing water came from the courtyard.

Lin Bai immediately frowned and followed the sound, crossing the front yard. He arrived at a room in the courtyard, pushed the door open, and found a wooden tub inside, with a young girl bathing in it!

As Lin Bai pushed the door open, seeing this scene, his pupils widened in shock.

The young girl in the wooden tub, upon seeing a man enter, was instantly frightened and covered her chest, screaming: "Ah! Someone! Help! Molestation!"
