Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

The emperor's words were so outrageous that even the ministers of the Azure Dragon Kingdom thought their emperor was incredibly shameless, let alone the people of the other three kingdoms.

He said that without batting an eye.

Didn't you see that the faces of the people from the other three kingdoms were all praising them?

I don't know if they asked for it secretly.

The Empress Dowager was too ashamed to look and secretly kicked him.

But the emperor was completely oblivious, still looking at Ling Yun with expectant eyes.

Seeing this group of people going to such lengths for a single pill, Ling Yun couldn't help but want to facepalm.

Only two available.

The pills weren't hers; she'd just stolen them from some guy.

No, it wasn't robbery; it was money she was demanding for her escape.

If the system heard her true feelings, it would probably start complaining again.

Damn it, the escape fee!

Who has such a deep pocket for the cost of getting away with this?

It was clearly a big shot who barged in, and before the owner even returned, he had already taken it for himself.

It was originally wondering why a powerful cultivator would steal a Rejuvenation Pill if he had no need for it.

It seems they're just using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha.

However, it never expected that the powerful being could tear open space with its bare hands.

It was particularly shocked by the places the bigwigs went.

It still finds it incredible to this day.

This gives me a new appreciation for the power of these big shots.

Everyone was disappointed upon hearing this.

But think about it.

If there were many such miraculous pills, wouldn't the continent be in chaos?

Ling Yun doesn't currently have this kind of pill, but that doesn't stop her from being able to refine it.

The prerequisite is that you can gather all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.

The emperor was disappointed and then turned his attention to the empress dowager.

To prevent the emperor from making another embarrassing mistake, the Empress Dowager quickly gave him the last remaining Rejuvenation Pill.

The emperor was instantly as happy as a child.

Fearing she might lose control and give her embarrassing son a loving punch in public, she chose to ignore it.

After this brief interlude, the banquet resumed.

Ling Yun did not sit in the superior seat that the emperor had arranged for her, but instead sat in the direction of the Ling family's residence.

"Ancestor, was there really no pure pill left that time?"

As soon as Ling Yun sat down, Ling Jun couldn't wait to ask more questions.

The young masters and ladies of the Ling family were also eavesdropping.

Not only them, but other families not far from the Ling family were also listening intently.

If he hadn't been afraid of embarrassing his ancestor, he almost would have joined in the bidding.

Thinking of those two Rejuvenation Pills, I feel a pang of heartache!

"Yes, I gave both of them away."

Ling Yun spoke nonchalantly, but his hands showed no sign of stopping.

Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to give up.

After a long while, Ling Yun put down his chopsticks and looked directly in the direction of Xuanwu Kingdom, where he met the gaze of a boy who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

From the moment she sat down, the boy's gaze never left her.

A burning light shone in the boy's eyes.

Looking at Ling Yun, the admiration in his eyes was undisguised.

His expression remained unchanged as she dealt with the messengers who had accompanied the boy.

What does this mean now?

Not only was there no hatred in his eyes, but he also looked at her with admiration.

Fortunately, nothing untoward happened at the subsequent birthday banquet, and everything went smoothly.

However, when she returned to the Ling family home, she found that someone had been waiting for her for a long time.

This person was none other than Liu Tianhe.

After learning about his background and that he was someone the ancestor had saved, he was also arranged to join the Ling family.

"Senior, please accept me as your disciple."

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Liu Tianhe disregarded whether there were others present and knelt directly in front of Ling Yun, speaking with a sincere expression.

He knew that the senior in front of him was very strong, and he had thought about becoming his apprentice, but he felt that he was not worthy at all.

But when he witnessed his senior easily defeat the Heavenly Realm expert, the impact was too great.

He completely forgot about his only sense of shame.

There was a voice inside him telling him.

You must become a disciple of a senior, or you will regret it.

Ling Yun did not answer him immediately.

Looking at Liu Tianhe's determined eyes.

She knew very well why Liu Tianhe wanted to become her disciple.

Seeing that Ling Yun remained silent, Liu Tianhe was somewhat confused.

But they showed no sign of backing down.

He has already thought about it.

If the senior doesn't agree in one day, he'll try for two or three days. Eventually, the big shot will be willing to accept him.

"I never take on apprentices."

Ling Yun suddenly spoke, which Liu Tianhe seemed to have expected; it was reasonable and logical.

After all, he was still self-aware.

"However, I can make an exception for you this time."

My previously dejected heart was instantly ignited.

An excited heart, an indescribable joy.

I was so excited I almost shouted it out.

Ling Jun was somewhat surprised.

Family records.

The patriarch preferred the human form of lying flat, so he never accepted disciples.

What's going on now?

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

boom!

hiss~

Because he was too excited, Liu Tianhe performed the apprenticeship ceremony too forcefully, and his head hit the ground directly with a loud thud.

Everyone else gasped in shock.

However, Liu Tianhe acted as if nothing had happened, still grinning foolishly.

Ling Yun was exasperated by his silly, goofy appearance.

Is it too late to expel him from the sect now?

"Congratulations, Ancestor, on gaining a new disciple."

Although he didn't understand why the ancestor had agreed, he still stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Ancestor, the seventh prince of Xuanwu Kingdom requests an audience."

Just then, a disciple of the Ling family stepped forward to report.

Ling Jun and the others were somewhat puzzled.

They had just returned from the banquet and hadn't even had a chance to rest when the seventh prince of Xuanwu Kingdom arrived.

He didn't have a deep impression of the seventh prince of Xuanwu Kingdom.

He was eerily quiet throughout the entire banquet.

Ling Yun knew that the seventh prince of Xuanwu Kingdom had something to discuss with her, so she wasn't particularly surprised, but she was surprised that he arrived so quickly.

"Bring people in."

"Yes, old man."

Before long, the seventh prince, who looked like a little white rabbit to outsiders, was brought in.

Upon seeing Ling Yun, he knelt down without saying a word, just like Liu Tianhe.

"Please, sir, accept me as your disciple."

In the hall, everyone looked at the Seventh Prince in shock.

Only Liu Tianhe was different.

Aside from being surprised by the Seventh Prince's actions, their gazes towards him quickly changed.

He thought to himself that this kid had good taste.

Ling Yun was speechless.

What day is it today? Why are they all coming to ask her to be their master?

Does she have the words "Taking Apprentices" written on her forehead?

"Tell me, why do you want to become my disciple?"

Despite his reluctance, he still managed to ask.

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow.

She hadn't expected that her question would cause the boy to lose control of his emotions.

At that very moment, Ling Yun noticed that something was wrong with the boy's body.

It felt like something had been forcibly dug out of my body.

Moreover, it appears that the methods used were extremely cruel, resulting in severe damage to his body.

He is incredibly lucky to be able to stand in front of her now.

"Revenge! I will make the entire Xuanwu Kingdom royal family pay for what they have done."
