I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

—The Liu Family of the Mysterious Rank—

"Fifth Elder, Wen Dao is dead."

"Dead? How come he was perfectly fine before the college entrance exam, and then died right after it?"

Liu Quan sat in the high position, and suddenly tightened his grip on the cup, causing it to shatter in his hand.

"Elder, Wen Dao was killed by a college entrance exam candidate."

A servant handed over a chip, and a clear projection appeared in the air.

On the projection screen, a girl in a school uniform is walking out of the school gate with her head down.

Even though she had her head down, the chip still managed to capture her image.

The magnified face flashed before Liu Quan's eyes.

Liu Quan frowned. He didn't recognize this person. Every year there are tens of thousands of students taking the college entrance examination. Naturally, he couldn't recognize all the students taking the exam this year. However, he remembered all the students from families above the Xuan rank in Shenzhou who took the exam this year.

Wen Dao was trained by him, and his personality is somewhat similar to his own.

Liu Quan is 60% confident that Wen Dao can enter one of the four major universities.

The Four Great Universities are the top four universities in the Wanling Empire. Once he enters one of the Four Great Universities, he can use his connections to enter a sect. At that time, his influence in the Liu family will be significantly greater than before.

Now, Wen Dao has actually failed in the college entrance examination, and was even killed by a cultivator with no background.

How could Liu Quan not be furious?

The surveillance footage of the martial arts exam is archived just like that of the written exam, but it will not be released yet because the martial arts exam has not ended.

Liu Quan obtained the exam recordings of Wen Dao and Jiang He through the appeal process.

Although he had seen the deadly poison in Wen Dao's hand from the beginning, Liu Quan was still furious when he saw Wen Dao's death.

"Did you find out the background of candidate number 4888?"

"Fifth Elder, candidate number 4888, whose original name was Jiang He, is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family of Huang Jie in Beihuai City."

"The eldest daughter of the Jiang family? I remember the eldest daughter of the Jiang family wasn't Jiang Yaoyi, how did it become Jiang He?"

"Jiang He was recently found by the Jiang family; he's a useless person with seven spiritual roots."

Liu Quan didn't take the Jiang family seriously.

If it had been a few days earlier, Liu Quan would have given the Jiang family some face, since the Xie family and the Jiang family had a marriage agreement and might become husband and wife at any time.

But Liu Quan had already heard about the Xie family's annulment of the engagement.

Although it is unclear whether the engagement was annulled by Jiang Yaoyi or Jiang He, the Xie family has undoubtedly severed ties with the Jiang family.

Liu Quan watched the video carefully and saw that Jiang He did know how to use poison.

Did Wen Dao receive any instructions from others regarding his college entrance examination?

He made Wen Dao obey Liu Yang's orders, and the two of them took the college entrance examination in the same examination room this time.

"Fifth Elder, Young Master Liu and Wen Dao's communications mentioned Jiang He."

Liu Quan closed his eyebrows.

As expected, the conflict between Wen Dao and Jiang He was most likely instigated by Liu Yang. While he blamed his son, he transferred his resentment more to Jiang He.

Liu Yang needs to be disciplined properly, as for Jiang He...

He didn't care what kind of spiritual root Jiang He had; a waste was a waste.

Since this ant has dared to mess with him, he will naturally crush it into dust.

Liu Quan touched the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes:

"Go ahead, but be clean in your methods."

"Yes."

Several cultivators received instructions from Liu Quan to leave the Liu family overnight.

-

After the first half ended, Jiang Hewu practiced for two days and then successfully finished eating the last batch of tomatoes.

To be honest, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is really delicious.

After taking the last bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Jiang He left the hotel.

The second half of the martial arts exam begins today. The hotel is some distance from the Shanyang City college entrance examination venue.

All candidates arrived at the first floor together and were escorted by the college entrance examination security personnel to take the sky train to Shanyang No.1 Middle School.

As soon as Jiang He stepped out of the hotel, she noticed a strange gaze fixed on her.

She kept her head down until she was on the skytrack, at which point the uncomfortable gaze disappeared from her sight.

On Skyrail No. 7, there are students heading to the exam venue, as well as many ordinary people.

Before leaving, Jiang He specially stuffed a lot of pills into her mustard seed pouch and carried a special spiritual sword for practice on her back.

Compared to the simply dressed test-takers around her, Jiang He, carrying all her belongings on her back, seemed somewhat out of place on the sky track.

As soon as Jiang He sat down, the spirit sword was placed against the seat behind her. She pretended to look around and then held the spirit sword in front of her.

That strange gaze reappeared.

Jiang He looked at the spirit sword in front of her and suddenly stood up.

"Shh!"

The metal table and chairs that Jiang He was sitting on shattered into pieces in an instant.

"Imperial Skyrail reminds you that Shanyang No.1 Middle School will arrive in three minutes..."

"Ah, help!"

"Someone has attacked the air track!"

The female voice announcing the arrival of passengers on the sky train was mixed with the sounds of breaking objects and screams from the surrounding passengers; everything was so chaotic.

Two ordinary passengers were simultaneously struck by a burst of spiritual energy and fell to the ground the moment their seats broke.

Jiang He quickly held the spirit sword in front of her.

The sudden attack made her look around warily.

At this moment, everyone in front of her became a suspect.

She looked at the two injured people but did not help them up; instead, she remained vigilant.

Because Jiang He knew.

The attack was directed at her.

If she had been just one second later, her body would have been split in two and she would have died.

That unpleasant gaze was now crystal clear.

Besides Jiang He, there were other examinees present, who, bursting with a sense of justice, drew their spirit swords, intending to find the murderer.

One of the candidates seemed to have witnessed the whole thing; he quickly walked up to a middle-aged man and tried to subdue him.

But to his surprise, the middle-aged man was extremely fast. He kicked the examinee to the ground and then charged straight at Jiang He.

With a swift palm strike, another crack appeared in the seat behind Jiang He.

In normal circumstances like this, the security personnel among the examinees would have already arrived at the scene.

One minute has now passed since the attack occurred.

Jiang He's heart tightened. This middle-aged man was not only after her, but also seemed to be on full guard.

Ignoring everyone else, Jiang He suddenly started running frantically from one carriage to another.

During her escape, the middle-aged man followed Jiang He relentlessly, like a ghost.

One after another, sharp palm winds struck, and Jiang He was caught off guard and hit.

Blood quickly flowed from her mouth, and she felt as if her whole body had been run over by a car, in excruciating pain.
