The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

Previously, because of the joke that Su Huaiyang's family made at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Su Qingcang was already dissatisfied with their second branch; if they were late again today, on such an important day, the head of the family would probably dislike them even more.

After careful consideration, Su Huaiyang's ambition finally overcame his love for his daughter.

"Ya'er is right. We can't let Father be unhappy with us anymore. Let's go to the martial arts arena." Su Huaiyang walked out with his wife in one hand and his daughter in the other, comforting Su Jingya as they walked. "Ya'er, relax. When you come out of the secret realm, Father will have the Seventh Elder examine you. As for now, don't think about anything else. Just focus on the upcoming five major family trials."

"Okay, daughter, I understand." Su Jingya nodded obediently.

The three of them walked quickly towards the martial arts arena. Seeing that they were about to reach their destination after turning another corner, Su Huaiyang couldn't help but remind them again, "Ya'er, remember, after entering the secret realm, the first thing you have to do is find Suzaku. As for points, they are not important. You can earn points later after you contract with Suzaku."

"Yes," Su Jingya nodded, her eyes filled with greed and determination. "Don't worry, father. I will definitely contract with Suzaku."

Although Su Jingya has not become a summoner yet, she is still determined to obtain Suzaku, because in her opinion, among the direct descendants of the Su family, except for her eldest brother Su Ziang, the others are not worth mentioning at all and have no qualifications to compete with her.

"Okay, okay, I believe you will succeed." Su Huaiyang patted Su Jingya's shoulder encouragingly, his eyes full of expectation, desire and ambition for power.

The family of three walked into the martial arts arena with full confidence. In their hearts, they had already decided that Suzaku was in Su Jingya's pocket.

At this time, all the disciples who wanted to participate in the family trial had arrived at the martial arts field, waiting for the head of the family, Su Qingcang, to lead them to the entrance of the secret realm and meet up with the other four major families.

After a cup of tea, Su Qingcang and the elders finally came. He asked the steward Su beside him, and after confirming that everyone was present, he said a few words of encouragement and set off with the disciples of the Su family.

At the same time, the Qi family, the Xie family, the Tang family, and the Yang family also set out.

An hour later, the five major families gathered at the foot of Wanshou Mountain, a hundred miles away from the imperial capital.

"Master Qi, Master Xie, Master Tang, Master Yang, long time no see. How have you all been lately?" Su Qingcang greeted with a fake smile.

Seeing this, the other four family heads also put on fake smiles.

"Hahaha...it's great. I eat well, sleep well, and feel healthy." Qi Daoxiu, the head of the Qi family, said with a smile.

"Well, I'm doing pretty well too." Xie Boru, the head of the Xie family, smiled and said, "Ever since I became a hands-off manager, I've felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally!"

Hearing Xie Boru's words, Tang Bojun, head of the Tang family, feigned envy and said, "Ah! I really envy you, Brother Xie, for having such an outstanding heir who is not only good at business, but also manages the Xie family in an orderly manner."

"Yes!" Yang Zhenglin, the head of the Yang family, echoed the praise, "Brother Xie, your Yichen is truly outstanding, handsome and talented. If possible, my Yang family is willing to form a marriage with your Xie family."

"Hahaha..." Xie Boru laughed, avoiding the topic of Yang Zhenglin's suggestion. "Thank you both for your praise of Yichen. In my opinion, your Yang and Tang families also have many outstanding young people, such as Youli and Jinan. I heard that they are already summoners. They are truly promising young people with extraordinary talents!"

"Alright, alright, stop complimenting each other." Qi Daoxiu interrupted the three of them flattering each other and concluded with a smile, "In my opinion, the children of our families are all excellent."

"Hahaha..." Xie Boru smiled and nodded, "Patriarch Qi is right, the children are all excellent."

"Yes, they are both excellent, hahaha..." Tang Bojun and Yang Zhenglin also nodded with a smile.

Looking at the four people's smiling faces, Su Qingcang felt very uncomfortable in his heart. The reason was simple: the new generation of their Su family was indeed not as good as the four families of Qi, Xie, Yang and Tang.

Although they are all from the five major families, the new generation of the Qi, Xie, Yang and Tang families all have summoners, but only their Su family has not had anyone become a summoner yet.

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Su Qingcang couldn't help but break the pleasant and harmonious atmosphere between the four people with a cold face.

"Everyone, it's getting late. Let's quickly open the barrier and head up the mountain!"

That’s right, there is a barrier around Wanshou Mountain, and ordinary people cannot enter or exit. Only the heads of the five major families have the ability to open the barrier.

Upon hearing this, Qi Daoxiu and the other three stopped laughing immediately.

"Master Su is right. Business is more important. Let's open the barrier first!"

As Qi Daoxiu spoke, he took out a emerald green jade pendant with a mighty and majestic Qilin carved on it.

Seeing this, Xie Boru, Tang Bojun, Yang Zhenglin, and Su Qingcang also took out a piece of emerald green jade pendant. Their jade pendants were engraved with patterns of white tiger, black tortoise, blue dragon, and red bird respectively.

The five of them looked at each other, and in unison, they turned the jade pendant towards the barrier, and then together transferred spiritual power to the jade pendant.

After the spiritual power was input into the jade pendant, five shadows rushed out from the jade pendant. They were the Golden White Tiger, the Wood Azure Dragon, the Water Black Tortoise, the Fire Vermilion Bird, and the Earth Qilin.

The shadows of the five elements' divine beasts looked at each other in mid-air, and then crashed into the barrier together.

With a "boom", the barrier disappeared.

Su Qingcang put the jade pendant away, then said to the Su family members behind him: "All disciples of the Su family, listen to my orders and follow this master up the mountain."

"Yes!"

Everyone in the Su family responded loudly and followed Su Qingcang into the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Looking at Su Qingning's back as she left with the Su family team, Mo Lintian really wanted to follow her, but he couldn't do that.

Mo Lintian is not a disciple of the five major families. Logically speaking, he cannot participate in the trials of the five major families, but he is the grandson of the head of the Qi family and has the blood of the Qi family. Qi Daoxiu wants to bring him, and it is difficult for others to object.

"Okay, stop looking. The little girl can't run away." Seeing Mo Lintian looking at Su Qingning eagerly like a man looking at his wife, Qi Runyu felt that he couldn't bear to watch. He teased his good brother and then urged his grandfather, "Grandpa, let's go up the mountain too!"

"Okay." Qi Daoxiu nodded, and took the Qi family disciples to follow the Su family to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Seeing this, Xie Boru and the other two also brought their family disciples into Wanshou Mountain.

After everyone entered the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, the barrier that had disappeared reappeared and protected the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts once again.
