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

Inside the secret realm, disciples from the five major families were busy killing monsters to earn points, while outside the secret realm, the points ranking on the light screen also changed.

The person ranked first was Xie Yichen, the third son of the Xie family. In just one day, his points had exceeded 100. His name topped the list with a total score of 72 points.

Following Xie Yichen is Yang Youli, the eldest son of the Yang family, who has a total score of 68 points and ranks second.

Third place went to Qi Runnian, the eldest son of the Qi family, with a total score of 63 points; fourth place went to Tang Jinan, the fifth son of the Tang family, with a total score of 60 points; and fifth place went to Qi Runyu, the fourth son of the Qi family, with a total score of 56 points...

The Qi family occupied two of the top five spots in the standings. Qi Daoxiu was the talk of the town and felt very proud of himself for a while. However, when he looked at a certain name on the standings, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Strange, why is Lin Tian’s score so low?

Qi Daoxiu knew about his grandson Mo Lintian's cultivation level, so he was a little confused. Among all the disciples who took part in the trial, Mo Lintian's cultivation level was the highest, but why was he not even in the top ten, and his points were so low?

On the points ranking list, Mo Lintian ranked 29th with a total score of 17 points.

No matter how Qi Daoxiu thought about it, he would never have thought that Mo Lintian's mind was not on the family competition at all. After he entered the secret realm, he was thinking about finding Su Qingning. He did not deliberately look for monsters along the way. He would only take action to deal with the monsters when they were so blind as to come to his door. That's why his score was so low, only seventeen points.

"Brother Xie, your Yichen is really amazing. He got 72 points so quickly and topped the list." Yang Zhenglin praised with a smile.

"No, no..." Xie Boru smiled, and although he was very proud in his heart, he said modestly: "Master Yang, you are too kind. This is only the first day, and the ranking is only temporary. Yichen is just lucky."

"In my opinion, Yang Youli from the Yang family and Tang Jinan from the Tang family are both very good, especially the Qi family..." Xie Boru said, then looked at Qi Daoxiu and praised with a smile: "Master Qi, your Qi family occupies two of the top five spots. It seems that your Qi family is worthy of being the leader of the five major families. Your strength should not be underestimated!"

Seeing Xie Boru shift the topic to himself, Qi Daoxiu felt helpless. He smiled and said modestly, "Master Xie, you are too kind. My two boys are just average. If we talk about excellence, your Yichen is the better one. Whether it's his IQ or talent, he's really enviable!"

……

Listening to the other four family heads flattering each other, Su Qingcang felt very uncomfortable. The reason was simple: their Su family was not in the top five of the points ranking list. Not only that, even in the top ten, only one person from their Su family, Su Ziang, made the list, and he was only ranked eighth with a total score of 42 points.

As for the other members of the Su family, their rankings were not very good. Even Su Jingya, whom Su Qingcang had high hopes for, disappointed him greatly. Not to mention the top ten, she didn't even make it into the top fifty because she currently only had a pitiful two points.

Not to mention Su Qingning. She has not killed a single monster since she entered the secret realm, and her current points are still zero.

Just as Su Qingcang was sighing in his heart, the rankings of two people on the points list changed significantly. However, his eyes had long since moved away from the points list and he did not notice.

After that, another hour passed, and the stone archway at the entrance to the secret realm suddenly lit up with a red light, instantly illuminating the entire valley.

The heads of the five major families and the elders who stayed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts were all shocked by the sudden movement. They stared at the stone archway at the entrance of the secret realm with wide eyes in disbelief, as if they had not yet reacted to what had happened, or rather, they were more shocked.

Su Qingcang also stared blankly at the red light emanating from the stone archway. There was shock in his eyes, but more of it was surprise and anticipation.

"how come……"

The expressions on the faces of the other four family heads were full of surprise. They looked at Su Qingcang with complicated eyes, and the light in their eyes was dim and unclear.

You, Su Qingcang, are so good at hiding it.

Of course, there were still some people at the scene who were confused. Xie Honghai looked at Xie Boru with confusion and asked, "Father, what's going on with this red light? Why do you all have these expressions?"

Xie Boru put away the surprised expression on his face and said in a seemingly calm tone: "Someone has contracted Suzaku."

After hearing Xie Boru's words, those who were originally confused suddenly showed shocked expressions.

What?! Someone has contracted Suzaku?! A summoner has appeared in the Su family?!

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the Su family, their eyes full of inquiry and envy.

Su Huaiyang also heard Xie Boru's words, and his heart suddenly began to beat rapidly with excitement. He tried his best to control his excitement and carefully asked Su Qingcang for confirmation: "Father, is what Patriarch Xie said true? Has someone really contracted with Suzaku?"

"Yeah." Su Qingcang nodded seemingly calmly, but his slightly trembling body betrayed him, showing that he was also very excited.

"Do you see the pattern of the five elements' beasts on the door?" Su Qingcang pointed at the stone archway and said excitedly, "Those patterns represent the five elements' beasts. If someone contracts a five-element beast in the secret realm, the pattern of the corresponding beast on the door will light up."

"Red represents the element of fire, and among the five divine beasts, only the Southern Fire Vermilion Bird is of the fire element. Therefore, someone must have contracted the Vermilion Bird in the secret realm."

As Su Qingcang finished speaking, the red light in the valley slowly faded, and then the originally dim Vermillion Bird pattern on the stone pillar instantly turned red, as if the carved Vermillion Bird had come alive.

And this scene just confirmed that what Su Qingcang said was true.

After confirming that someone had indeed contracted Suzaku, Su Huaiyang couldn't hide the excitement and pride in his eyes. He laughed and said, "Hahahaha... It must be Ya'er who contracted Suzaku. She really didn't let me down, hahahaha..."

Hearing Su Huaiyang's words, the four family heads, Xie Boru, Qi Daoxiu, Yang Zhenglin and Tang Bojun, couldn't help but frown. The four of them looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

The person who contracted Suzaku was Su Jingya? Why were they so unconvinced?

It’s not that Xie Boru and the other three look down on Su Jingya, but compared with Xie Yichen, Yang Youli and others, Su Jingya is indeed a bit mediocre.

Although Su Jingya has the spiritual roots of water, fire and wood, her cultivation is too low. She is only an eighth-level magician, not even a lord. They don't think Zhuque will be interested in her.

What's more, Xie Boru and others had never heard that Su Jingya was a summoner. Based on their understanding of Su Huaiyang, if his daughter was really a summoner, he would have announced it to everyone long ago.

Therefore, rather than Su Jingya contracting Suzaku, they would rather believe that someone else in the Su family contracted Suzaku.
