"Personally guide Nie Tian to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion? Isn't the Nie family a vassal family of the Lingyun Sect?"

"That kid... what kind of luck does he have?"

"Legend has it that Pan Bo rarely personally leads people back to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Every person he values can shine in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, not just as an ordinary disciple."

"An Jia's An Shiyi was brought to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion by him years ago and is now a prominent figure in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion."

"This person is known for his keen eye in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. No one he values is a minor character."

"What does Nie Tian have to be valued by him?"

"..."

When the onlookers heard An Rong explain Pan Bo's intentions, they immediately started chattering.

The Nie family members, led by Nie Beichuan, were also stunned, not knowing what kind of luck Nie Tian had in the Qinghuang Realm to be noticed by Pan Bo of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

"Spirit Treasure Pavilion, Spirit Treasure Pavilion!" Nie Qian's body trembled with excitement, her eyes shining with a strange light, feeling that years of anticipation had finally paid off.

Nie Donghai took deep breaths to calm himself down. After finally calming his mind, he looked at Pan Tao with some trepidation and asked, "Mr. Pan, is what An Rong said true?"

He thought An Rong was joking.

After the initial surprise, Nie Tian also looked at Pan Bo with confusion, feeling somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when he said goodbye to Pan Tao, Pan Tao had mysteriously told him that he would bring one person to Black Cloud City to see him.

Now he finally knew who that person was.

Under the gaze of everyone, Pan Bo smiled slightly and said, "I am known for my ability to recognize talent in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Over the years, the disciples I have brought back to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion have all proven their abilities."

"I have the ability to recognize talent, and so does my son."

He glanced at Pan Tao, who immediately straightened his chest, displaying confidence.

"I trust my son's judgment, and I trust my own." He looked deeply at Nie Tian, his expression serious, and finally said what everyone wanted to hear, "Yes, I came to Black Cloud City specifically for Nie Tian. I formally invite Nie Tian to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to cultivate as a disciple from now on!"

"He's actually serious!" Nie Yaotu was shocked.

The other Nie family members, after hearing Pan Bo's words, looked at Nie Tian with extremely strange expressions.

Nie Beichuan's face was dark, and he remained silent, lost in thought.

"Old Mr. An, you came late and missed the show. Let me tell you..."

A person from Black Cloud City took the opportunity to approach An Rong and described in a loud voice the ugly incident where Nie Beichuan and others forced Nie Donghai and Nie Qian to go to the Lingyun Sect to apologize, which was interrupted by Nie Tian.

"Hehe, Nie Laoer, you're quite capable, aren't you?" An Rong laughed, mocking him, "Clearly, you are incompetent and caused the mine to collapse as soon as you took office. Instead of taking responsibility, you want your elder brother to be the scapegoat. You're really something!"

"An Rong! Can you shut up?!" Nie Beichuan was furious.

"What, you dare to do it but are afraid of being criticized?" An Rong didn't care and suddenly said to Nie Donghai, "In my opinion, you might as well leave this place in the Nie family."

Nie Donghai's expression was gloomy, and he didn't respond.

Instead, Pan Bo frowned slightly and said, "Old Mr. Nie, you and Nie Tian's aunt can also go to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. I will make other arrangements for you."

"What? Even Nie Laoer and the others will be accepted by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion? No way!"

"Do they really value Nie Tian that much?"

"Bringing one Nie Tian and willing to take two more, what's going on?"

Everyone was shocked by Pan Bo's words.

Nie Donghai, Nie Qian, and Nie Tian were also stunned and looked at Pan Bo in disbelief.

Pan Bo nodded slightly.

Nie Donghai, who had been gloomy, was now clearly moved, his eyes flickering with indecision.

The conditions offered by the Spirit Treasure Pavilion were too good, so good that he was considering whether to completely leave the Nie family and take Nie Tian and Nie Qian to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

"Dad!" Nie Qian called out excitedly.

She had made up her mind and urged Nie Donghai to accept quickly, fearing that Pan Bo might change his mind.

To them, Pan Bo's appearance was like a windfall. This surprise was so magical that it felt like an unreal dream to her.

Over the years, she and her father had been repeatedly targeted in the Nie family, living in constant dissatisfaction.

Now that Pan Bo had come to take them to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, completely leaving the Nie family and Black Cloud City, she was more than willing.

"Mr. Pan, the Nie family is a vassal family of our Lingyun Sect. Isn't it improper for you to openly take people?" At this moment, Li Fan's voice echoed from a distance.

"Lingyun Sect's Li Fan!"

"Why is he here? There's going to be a show!"

"Black Cloud City is really lively today!"

Amid the shouts of the crowd, Li Fan, the disciple of the Lingyun Sect's sect leader Jiang Zhisu, led Jiang Lingzhu and gradually approached.

As soon as Li Fan and Jiang Lingzhu appeared, Nie Beichuan and the other Nie family members, who had been at a disadvantage, suddenly gained confidence. They all looked at Li Fan with pleading eyes.

"Mr. Li, please help us get justice!"

"The Spirit Treasure Pavilion is bullying us because we have no one to stand up for us!"

"The Nie Donghai father and daughter caused the mine to collapse and are guilty. They even want to leave the family, which is unforgivable!"

They looked at Li Fan with eager eyes, each one speaking out to try to get Li Fan to overpower Pan Bo.

"Pan Tao! You bastard, I knew you coming to Black Cloud City would bring no good!" Jiang Lingzhu pointed at Pan Tao and scolded, "I told you in the Qinghuang Realm that Nie Tian belongs to our Lingyun Sect. You can't have any ideas!"

Pan Tao shrank back and said, "Your Lingyun Sect only accepts disciples at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, right? Since Nie Tian hasn't reached the ninth level, your Lingyun Sect won't accept him, but our Spirit Treasure Pavilion is willing to. Why can't we?"

"Who said we won't accept him?" Jiang Lingzhu put her hands on her hips, looking like a fierce tigress, "After I returned from the Qinghuang Realm, I told my father, and he agreed. Li Uncle and I came down the mountain to take Nie Tian to the Lingyun Sect and officially accept him as a disciple!"

"Ah? No way, the Lingyun Sect is also taking Nie Tian up the mountain? What kind of luck does this kid have to be valued by both the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the Lingyun Sect?" someone screamed.

"Isn't the Lingyun Sect known for its strict rules for subordinate families? Only those who reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation before the age of sixteen can be accepted as true disciples?"

"Is the Lingyun Sect going to make an exception for Nie Tian?"

"What the hell is going on?"

All the onlookers were completely shocked when they learned that Li Fan's arrival was with the same intention as Pan Bo.

Nie Donghai and Nie Qian, upon hearing Jiang Lingzhu's words and learning that the sect leader had personally instructed Li Fan and Jiang Lingzhu to take Nie Tian back to the mountain, were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Li, you, you came to the Nie family for Nie Tian?" Nie Beichuan was somewhat panicked.

Li Fan nodded slightly and said seriously, "This is my master's intention."

"But for decades, all the Nie family members who entered the Lingyun Sect were at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, not just the Nie family, but also other families. They all had to reach the ninth level to be accepted by the Lingyun Sect?" Nie Beichuan seemed anxious, "This has been the rule for decades! How can you break it so easily?"

Li Fan's expression was cold, "Since we are the ones who set the rules, we can change them at will. As long as my master says so, the decades-old rule can be easily broken."

After a pause, he seemed to remember something and smiled, "The rules aren't completely broken. In the future, the same rules will apply. Your Nie family's subsequent members still need to reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation before the age of sixteen to be taken to the Lingyun Sect."

"What about Nie Tian?" Nie Beichuan asked in confusion.

"He is the only exception in decades!" Li Fan said solemnly.

Nie Beichuan was stunned.

"Oh, by the way, the mine collapse was just an accident and has nothing to do with others." Li Fan frowned, displeased, "If you can't figure out the truth, you should report it honestly and let us investigate, not make your elder brother and niece take the blame."

Nie Beichuan's face turned pale.

"Since you took office, you've caused too many problems, and my master is very displeased." Li Fan looked at the Nie family elders, his expression serious, "You should choose a new family head!"

After saying this, he glanced at Nie Donghai, seemingly on purpose.

"I, I, I..." Nie Beichuan's body swayed, wanting to say something but unable to form a complete sentence.
