Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Xu Luo and Xu Chen both thought that only Xu Muge had become the master of the manor, but they didn't expect to see Xu Ying on the stage.

Xu Ying has indeed changed a lot compared to seven years ago.

But from the time Xu Ying was born until she was three years old, they stayed at home and often took her out to play, so they were very familiar with her.

Especially those bright and pure eyes, you simply can't find another pair like them.

That's why the two recognized Xu Ying so quickly.

Xu Luo and Xu Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

I don't understand how Yin Xianhong found Xu Ying to take her as her apprentice.

"Didn't they say Brother Mu was going to become an apprentice? Why is Xiao Ying here too?" Xu Chen asked in a low voice.

Xu Luo shook his head, "I don't know either."

Regardless, it was a good thing, so after their initial surprise, the two were happy.

After all, they hadn't seen Xu Ying for seven years and missed her quite a bit. In the future, since everyone would be cultivating in the Divine Palace, they could look after each other.

Moreover, the Xu family's backing is now truly formidable.

Two of the three heads of Shenque Prefecture are masters of the Xu family.

It can be said that such a situation has never occurred since the establishment of Shenque Palace.

Everyone else present understood that the person standing next to the two lords was their disciple, and they were naturally filled with envy.

“I know this kid by Lord Shen’s side. He was quite the star in the Great Xia Dynasty. He is indeed very capable. There are quite a few geniuses who have lost to him, and they are all convinced of his abilities.”

"And this little girl, she looks to be only about ten years old. Is she old enough to become an apprentice and start cultivating?"

"If one has enough talent, it is indeed possible to start training earlier. For example, Jingxin, a Buddhist disciple of Wuliang Temple, was born with auspicious omens, and he grew up in Wuliang Temple from a young age."

"There's still one lord who hasn't taken on a disciple yet, we still have a chance!!"

Nearly five hundred people were present and probably never imagined that the disciples of the two manor lords were actually a family, and that there were two other family members among them.

As soon as the three lords arrived, Xu Muge and Xu Ying looked down at the stage, trying to spot Xu Luo.

Xu Luo and Xu Chen were on the very edge, so they weren't hard to find.

When they saw that Xu Chen was also there, they were surprised but also overjoyed.

The four exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

With so many outstanding individuals in the audience, it was natural that some people noticed their unusual behavior. Unfortunately, by the time they followed the gaze, the quick-witted Xu Luo had already pulled Xu Chen to another seat.

After Wang Lao said a few words, the steward read out the rules of Shenque Prefecture.

First, fighting is strictly prohibited within the manor. If you wish to challenge someone to a duel, you can go to the martial arts arena.

Secondly, after the power ranking is updated, those ranked lower can challenge those ranked higher. If they win, they will receive the opponent's Divine Palace Token. If they have enough Divine Palace Tokens, they can exchange them for some opportunities in the manor, or even for the inheritance of the Holy Realm.

Third, each person who is challenged has a one-month rest period during which they cannot be challenged again. Those without the Divine Decree will not be challenged.

Fourth, at the end of each year, a certain number of Divine Palace Tokens will be issued to people of the corresponding rankings based on their combat power. The bottom ten people will be directly eliminated and expelled from the Divine Palace.

Fifth, the Divine Palace only allows people to leave, not enter. Once you leave, you can never come back. Ten years from now, everyone will have to leave.

Of course, as the disciples of the Lord of the Manor, Xu Muge and Xu Ying were not bound by these rules.

They don't need the Divine Palace Decree at all.

Because of the secret realms and ruins within the manor, they can enter whichever one they want, and choose whichever of the sacred realm's inheritance suits them best. Going out and returning is also very free.

After all, they still have the opportunity to inherit the position of the manor lord in the future, so what do these things matter?

After the steward finished reading the rules of the Divine Palace, they left.

At the same time, Xu Luo heard Xu Muge's voice transmission in his ear. He quietly led Xu Chen to a seemingly ordinary cave.

Upon entering the cave, they met the three cave lords who looked on with anticipation, and Xu Muge and Xu Ying who were overjoyed.

"Greetings to the three Lords," Xu Luo and Xu Chen said, bowing.

Old Wang said with a smile, "No need to be so polite."

You said there was one cousin, but it turns out there's another one! You were hiding something from us, weren't you!

Four members of the Xu family simultaneously joined the Divine Palace. Even though Old Master Wang had been the head of the Divine Palace for so many years, he had never encountered such a situation.

They could tell at a glance that Xu Luo had a solid foundation and abundant true essence, but his physique was indeed very ordinary, while Xu Chen had the Ten Thousand Thunder Body.

While a cultivator's future potential is certainly closely related to their innate talent and physique, it is not a certainty.

Even those with great talent may die young, while those with ordinary physiques can still achieve great things.

Old Wang wasn't particularly concerned about these things; he cared more about willpower and state of mind.

"I wonder if you would be willing to let this old man test you. If so, this old man will consider taking you as a disciple."

The two of them naturally wouldn't refuse.

"We do."

"Alright, come with me."

Old Wang led the two away and returned about fifteen minutes later.

The results are in: Xu Luo passed, Xu Chen did not.

After all, Xu Chen's greatest advantage is his ability to observe qi; he is not particularly outstanding in other aspects.

And so, of the four members of the Xu family, three were taken in as disciples by the lord of the manor.

Xu Chen's situation is a bit tragic. Taking on disciples isn't scary, but losing one is awkward.

After the three lords left, only the four of them remained.

Xu Muge comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Chen, we'll protect you from now on. You can walk around Shenque Prefecture with impunity!"

"Alright, from now on, if I can't beat someone, I'll call for backup!" Xu Chen said.

Xu Ying waved her hand and said, "Me too, me too."

"I'll protect you two!" Xu Luo quickly added.

"Hehe," Xu Ying chuckled foolishly. At this moment, the sadness of leaving home had long since vanished.

The four of them chatted happily.

It would be a lie to say that Xu Chen wasn't upset, but he was already quite satisfied that the problem that had been troubling him and You Luoran had been resolved.

Moreover, with the ability to use Qi, one will not lack opportunities and treasures in the future.

If the sect leader doesn't take on disciples, then there's no way to have them!

I'm not envious at all!!!
