Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Her words contained a subtle warning, and Li Lan couldn't help but smile slightly. She was still the same as always, speaking in a reserved and tactful manner, but Li Lan nodded in gratitude for her kindness and said, "Thank you."

The three of them immediately headed towards the main hall.

“Li Lan, I know you have opinions about Liu Guiyuan and Zeng Rou, but actually... it’s really unnecessary.”

After they left, Zhou Xiang sighed and advised Li Lan:

"Liu Guiyuan is now a supreme genius within the Dao Hall, and a core disciple of Thunder Peak. His future is limitless. A single word or attitude from him can truly turn our lives upside down..."

His face was bitter: "You haven't been exposed to the cultivation world yet, so you may not have a deep understanding yet... The gap between cultivators is really hard to cross. We and them are already from two different worlds."

"Come on, I'll take you inside. The elders all want to see people from Earth in person."

He led Li Lan into the main hall.

……

Within the main hall.

Ling Xuewei and the others walked in and saw several elders of the Dao Hall sitting upright. In the hall, Yan Zhanyu, the dean of Nantian Academy, was waiting with a girl holding a sword.

Upon seeing the girl, Li Lan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Xu Caiwei!

He wasn't worried about being recognized. After all, the last time his soul entered the mortal realm, he had only slightly disguised his appearance out of caution. To Xu Caiwei, he was just a stranger now.

"Greetings, Elder Guo."

Ling Xuewei and the others bowed to the elder at the head of the table. The elder, named Guo Zhentian, held a high position in the Dao Hall and was in charge of the investigation of Nan Yao Star. He nodded slightly to Ling Xuewei and the others, and the three of them stood to one side. Zhou Xiang also pulled Li Lan to stand in a corner.

Ling Xuewei and the other two had only heard that a sword genius had appeared, which Elder Guo valued highly, so they came to observe out of curiosity.

"You all sensed this woman's swordsmanship. Although she is young, she has already touched upon the true essence of swordsmanship!"

Guo Zhentian spoke.

A plump old man beside him nodded repeatedly. He was Mu Zichou, the peak master of Sword Peak, and he was extremely satisfied with Xu Caiwei. He said:

"This woman can join my Sword Peak as a true disciple!"

Ling Xuewei and the others were all surprised, and their eyes fell on Xu Caiwei. She and Liu Guiyuan were both geniuses with the potential to become supreme beings, but they had also cultivated in the Dao Palace for a long time and passed various tests before they were able to obtain the title of true disciples!

This girl in front of me is actually valued so highly by the Sword Peak Master?

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhanyu was overjoyed, while Xu Caiwei was slightly stunned.

A true disciple of Jianfeng?

A few months ago, she might have been overjoyed, after all, Nan Yaoxing was within the Dao Palace's sphere of influence, and disciples of Nan Tian Academy and Taihua Academy all considered it an honor to enter the Dao Palace!

But now...

However, a grudge had already formed in her heart!

The lofty Taoist temple has no sense of justice. When faced with the temptations of the underworld spirits, it can even offer them up as sacrifices. Even the senior who had shown her guidance died because of this...

"Thank you, Elder Guo and Peak Master Mu. However, Caiwei's aptitude is too low, and I'm afraid she might disgrace the Dao Palace. Please rescind your order!"

She gritted her teeth and spoke!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked. What did Xu Caiwei mean? Was she actually going to refuse?!

Reject the Dao Temple!?

This has never happened before in the entire Southern Glory Star!

Even Yan Zhanyu was somewhat taken aback. Xu Caiwei had always been obedient and well-behaved, so why was she so bold now?

"Um?!"

Guo Zhentian's face immediately turned cold!

As a dignified elder of the Dao Palace, I've brought so many peak masters here. Does a mere disciple from the Southern Heaven Academy dare to cause trouble? Won't the Dao Palace's reputation be damaged?

"Reporting to the Elder!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhanyu hurriedly said, "I've heard that the Dao Palace has a threshold for recruiting disciples; their aptitude must reach at least the Earth-level. Caiwei's aptitude indeed doesn't meet that requirement, which is why she said that..."
