All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

On the day he returned, some people who knew the inside story also learned that Feng Ning's strength had been restored.

It was thanks to Nian Zhao's big mouth that he told each of his senior brothers about it before they finally stopped.

Enraged, the Third Elder, Zhu Kangle, grabbed his broadsword and forced the man back.

“We’re busy with the opening of the Xuanwu Secret Realm every day, and you’re just sitting here doing nothing. Is that appropriate?”

"Senior brother, I'm doing this for my disciple's sake, right? You can understand, can't you? You know that my disciple skipped five levels and broke through to the Golden Core stage."

Zhu Kangle shook his head in frustration.

He's so annoying. He's said these words over and over again so many times that he could recite them by heart, and he still keeps saying them.

So what if he jumped directly from the fifth stage of Foundation Establishment to the first stage of Golden Core? Is it really necessary to be so arrogant and brag about it everywhere?

While it is indeed one of a kind, there's no need to praise it every day.

"Shut up, come with me, and bring your precious disciple along too. Since you've been praising it so much, why don't we go to the Xuanwu Secret Realm together?"

Nian Zhao rolled her eyes. "You're just jealous that I have such a smart and obedient disciple. Your disciple is disobedient, humph!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Where are you going now? Haven't you ruined me enough?"

Nian Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Who harmed you? Don't try to smear me."

Zhu Kangle was angered and said something again.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to participate in the Xuanwu Secret Realm selection? Now I'm going, aren't I?"

Zhu Kangle was speechless. "Fine, let's go then."

Nian Zhao immediately walked over there, and took out a sound transmission stone to send a message to Feng Ning.

“Disciple, head over to the council hall. They’re selecting disciples to go to the Xuanwu Secret Realm. Why don’t you go and join in the fun?”

Feng Ning received the message immediately. She glanced at the crowded scene in front of her and replied silently.

"Yes, Master, I'll be right there."

Then, he casually put away the communication stone.

But in the shadows, unnoticed by her, a sinister gaze was fixed on her, like a vicious wolf, ready to pounce and bite her neck off.

This person was none other than Song Jiaoran, who had previously tried to cause trouble for Feng Ning.

Song Jiaoran originally came here to see what was going on regarding the selection process for the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

But he never expected to run into Feng Ning.

She saw Feng Ning standing at the back of the crowd, sneaking around, and not taking the place of a personal disciple.

I didn't quite understand at first.

As she watched, she began to understand.

Feng Ning's meridians are completely severed and she has lost all her spiritual power, so she naturally cannot participate in the selection. Therefore, she came here secretly this time.

Judging from her guilty look, the Fourth Elder definitely doesn't know about this.

And when she pretended to take out the communication stone and said that she wanted to go back now, could it be that she was trying to cover up her intentions, thinking that she was afraid to participate and wanted to quit and leave?

She originally thought that it was fine for her to leave, and that she didn't need to be in her way.

But then I thought about it again.

What's the point of leaving now?

He'll still be in front of the Fourth Elder, just as annoying.

If it were the old Feng Ning, with her high talent and good comprehension, becoming a personal disciple wouldn't have been a problem.

But now she's practically a cripple. What right does she have to stand beside the Fourth Elder? What right does she have to be the Fourth Elder's only disciple?

She doesn't deserve it!

The best solution is to kill her, so she won't be in her way and won't have to monopolize the Fourth Elder anymore.

Only then could she have the opportunity to become the Fourth Elder's disciple and the person he cherished most.

And now!

Suddenly, she didn't want her to leave.

Having missed this opportunity, how could she openly and legitimately kill Feng Ning?

It would be better to take this opportunity to deal with her directly, and then say that you didn't control your strength well, which would be just as plausible.

At most, they'll be punished; it's not a big problem.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she felt that she absolutely could not let her go, and that she must let her participate in this selection.

Thinking this to himself, he saw Feng Ning move her feet, preparing to walk out.

She immediately spoke up, "Isn't this Feng Ning, the Fourth Elder's personal disciple? What brings you here? You wouldn't happen to be thinking of participating in this selection as well, would you?"

Feng Ning turned her head and saw Song Jiaoran's malicious gaze.

She frowned, seemingly puzzled.

Song Jiaoran continued, "What? Don't you dare to admit it? Oh~ I forgot, you're a cripple now, how could you dare to participate in this kind of selection?"

She chuckled, "Alright, then you can leave. Not only are you a useless person, but you're also a coward. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a personal disciple. You've really disgraced the Fourth Elder."

Feng Ning frowned and stared at her for a long time, but couldn't remember who she was.

Hearing that she had finally finished speaking, he asked with a scrutinizing gaze, "Excuse me, ma'am, who are you?"

Song Jiaoran was speechless, staring at her in shock, wishing she could skin her alive.

"What did you call me? You don't recognize me?!"

Feng Ning looked surprised. After introducing the woman to the onlookers, she turned to the others and asked, "Does anyone know who she is?"

Everyone watched with amusement, some smiling without answering, while others, eager for more drama, spoke up.

"She is Song Jiaoran, the only daughter of Elder Song of the outer sect."

Feng Ning suddenly realized that he was actually the son of an official.

Seeing her suddenly realized expression, a smug look flashed in Song Jiaoran's eyes.

See? So what if she's an inner disciple? They still have to fawn over her.

But before the smug look on her face could fade, Feng Ning continued to ask, "But what does this have to do with me? Why are you cursing me for no reason? Did I eat your rice or dig up your ancestral graves?"

"I don't even know you, why are you biting me like a mad dog? Just because you're the daughter of an outer sect elder, does that give you the right to bully others? Or have you gotten used to doing this kind of thing, wanting to spit filth on everyone you meet?"

Everyone was stunned.

This move is really... incomprehensible.

"Junior sister, don't be too brave. Why are you arguing with Junior Sister Song? She's the daughter of an outer sect elder. You can't afford to offend her."

Feng Ning tilted her head and glanced at her. "Thank you for reminding me, senior sister, but... it wasn't me arguing with her. She just inexplicably came up and started cursing at me. Do you think I could tolerate that?"

The senior student was taken aback by her question and nodded subconsciously.

Feng Ning also flashed a bright smile, then turned to look at Song Jiaoran, her eyes filled with icy coldness, "So how do you want to die?"
