Chapter 8

Lan Qingya was stunned, completely stunned.

She covered her burning cheek, looking at Jun Zhangjian with disbelief.

Jun Zhangjian's face was incredibly dark, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Master Zhangjian, you hit me?" Lan Qingya asked, unable to believe it.

Feeling her gradually swelling cheek, Lan Qingya felt as if she were in a dream.

Wasn't Jun Zhangjian always obedient to her?

Even to the point where Lan Qingya felt that the Jun family's lineage was nothing special.

Lan Qingya even fantasized that in the future, she could completely control Jun Zhangjian, and he would do whatever she said.

Which outsider could control the Jun family's lineage?

She, Lan Qingya, could!

But now, looking at Jun Zhangjian's dark, water-like face, Lan Qingya felt as if he had become a stranger.

"Who told you to provoke Jun Xiaoyao?" Jun Zhangjian's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

"I... I did it for your sake, Master Zhangjian. You tried to recruit Jun Linglong before, but she ignored you, and now she's willing to follow Jun Xiaoyao..." Lan Qingya still tried to defend herself.

"Damn woman!"

Hearing this, Jun Zhangjian couldn't help but slap the other half of Lan Qingya's face again.

Lan Qingya was slapped away, her mouth bleeding profusely.

"Do you know who Jun Xiaoyao is? Do you know who his father is?" Jun Zhangjian was so angry that his liver hurt.

Is Lan Qingya trying to undermine my position in the lineage?

"It's just Jun Wuwei, whose whereabouts are unknown!" Lan Qingya gritted her teeth, her face turning ugly.

"You have no right to insult Uncle Wuwei!"

Jun Zhangjian slapped Lan Qingya several more times, turning her cheeks into a pig's head.

All the followers around them were stunned.

Is the sun rising from the west?

"Don't even mention that Jun Xiaoyao is Uncle Wuwei's son. His mother is also a divine maiden of the Jiang family, and he has the favor of the Eighteenth Ancestor. By provoking him, do you want me to lose my position as the Tenth Lineage?" Jun Zhangjian really wanted to slap Lan Qingya to death.

Why provoke anyone else when you could provoke Jun Xiaoyao, who has the highest status and the strongest background in the Jun family?

"Master Zhangjian, Qingya was wrong, please forgive me!"

Lan Qingya knelt down and kowtowed, her chin covered in blood.

No matter how she calculated, she never thought Jun Zhangjian would be so wary of Jun Xiaoyao, to the point of hitting her.

"Get up, go and apologize to Jun Xiaoyao with thorns on your back!" Jun Zhangjian said coldly.

"Master Zhangjian, this..." Lan Qingya was struck like lightning.

If she really did this, how could she ever have the face to stay in the Jun family?

And to bow down to Jun Linglong in front of everyone, it would be more unbearable than eating shit.

"Hmm? Not going?" Jun Zhangjian's eyes were sharp like a sword.

"I'll go..." Lan Qingya was terrified, her face full of humiliation.

Then, a follower found a bundle of thorns for Lan Qingya to carry.

The sharp thorns on the thorns cut her back, making Lan Qingya hiss in pain.

"Forget it, I'll go with you, that way it will show sincerity." Jun Zhangjian hesitated for a moment and decided to go with her.

Lan Qingya felt even more despair.

This was the first time she had seen Jun Zhangjian so uneasy.

Who was Jun Xiaoyao, to make Jun Zhangjian so wary?

Jun Zhangjian, carrying Lan Qingya with thorns on her back, left the Spirit Island and headed for the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

On the way, many of the Jun family's descendants noticed.

"That's... the Tenth Lineage, Jun Zhangjian, he's out of seclusion?"

"Jun Zhangjian's strength has improved again, and he's heading towards the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Is he going to cause trouble for the Divine Son?"

"No, look at Lan Qingya..."

Many eyes fell on Lan Qingya.

She was carrying thorns on her back, her back covered in blood, her cheeks swollen, and her mouth bleeding, looking extremely wretched.

"Could it be that Jun Zhangjian isn't going to cause trouble, but to... apologize?"

All the Jun family's descendants were stunned.

The mighty Tenth Lineage of the Jun family, actually submitting so easily?

"Tsk tsk, probably only the Divine Son has the ability to make a Lineage submit without a fight." A young man of the Jun family praised.

Which of the Ten Lineages doesn't have a proud spirit?

To make someone submit without a fight is extremely difficult.

But Jun Xiaoyao has done it.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was relaxing.

Beside him, Jun Linglong was making tea for him.

Using ten-thousand-year-old dew as water, and tea leaves picked from the ancient enlightenment tree.

This pot of tea, in the outside world, would be something ordinary geniuses could never enjoy.

But Jun Xiaoyao drank it every day.

"Master, please..." Jun Linglong handed him the tea, acting like a diligent maid.

Jun Xiaoyao took the teacup, sipped it, and nodded. "You're good at this..."

Jun Linglong's face turned red. Was he referring to making tea?

At this moment, a servant of the Heavenly Emperor Palace called out respectfully at the door. "Divine Son, Master Jun Zhangjian has come to the Heavenly Emperor Palace."

"Finally, I've been waiting for so many days." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, feeling more energetic.

Is the main plot finally starting?

Lan Qingya went back and cried, Jun Zhangjian became irrationally angry, and then decided to come and teach him a lesson.

Jun Xiaoyao also needed someone to test his Divine Elephant Prisoning Hell Technique.

Jun Linglong's face remained calm. She knew that Jun Zhangjian wouldn't be able to do anything to Jun Xiaoyao.

"Ha ha, Cousin Xiaoyao, from your birth until now, this is the first time we've met, and it's in such a way, truly a pity."

A cheerful voice came, and Jun Zhangjian stepped in, followed by the wretched Lan Qingya, who was bowing her head and carrying thorns on her back.

"Huh, this... something's not right..." Jun Xiaoyao was puzzled.

He felt that Jun Zhangjian wasn't following the script.

"One of my followers provoked Cousin Xiaoyao, so I specifically asked her to come and apologize with thorns on her back. I hope Cousin Xiaoyao can be magnanimous." Jun Zhangjian smiled faintly.

Lan Qingya gritted her teeth, feeling extremely humiliated, but still knelt down.

She squeezed out a sentence through her teeth. "I hope the Divine Son and Jun Linglong can forgive Qingya..."

After saying this, Lan Qingya wanted to bury her head in the ground.

Jun Linglong's face was cold.

Jun Xiaoyao remained silent.

Seeing this, Jun Zhangjian's eyes twitched.

He was really afraid that Jun Xiaoyao would report to the Eighteenth Ancestor, which would ruin his future in the lineage.

Biting his teeth, Jun Zhangjian took out a token. "By the way, I got two Yuan Tian Supreme Tokens while training outside. They are said to be related to the secret treasure of Yuan Tian Supreme. I don't need an extra one, so I'll give it to Cousin Xiaoyao."

"Supreme Secret Treasure!" Jun Linglong's beautiful eyes were also secretly shocked.

Above the Holy Realm is the Supreme Realm.

That is a truly immortal existence standing at the peak of the Immortal Domain, awe-inspiring through the ages!

The secret treasure of such a Supreme is unimaginably valuable!

Such a token, if released to the outside world, would cause a bloodbath, with countless geniuses fighting to the death for it!

Jun Zhangjian had gone through great efforts and paid a high price to get two of them.

Jun Xiaoyao was also surprised, not expecting Jun Zhangjian to be willing to give up such a good thing.

Just as he was thinking, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

"Ding, congratulations, the new check-in location has been refreshed!"

"Please check in at the Yuan Tian Supreme Secret Treasure!"

"Another new check-in location?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.

He had discovered some rules of the check-in system.

First, multiple check-in locations can exist simultaneously.

Second, check-in locations can be triggered by events.

For example, as soon as he learned about the Yuan Tian Supreme Secret Treasure, the check-in location was refreshed.

"Well, it seems I have to go there in the future." Jun Xiaoyao thought.

Check-in opportunities are very rare, and the unknown rewards are very tempting.

"Brother Zhangjian, you're really too formal..."

Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly, raised his hand, and grabbed the Yuan Tian Supreme Token.

Jun Zhangjian's mouth twitched.

I might not be a person, but you're really a dog.

But while Jun Zhangjian was heartbroken, he was also shocked.

"Such powerful magic, even golden. Could it be that you really are the Ancient Holy Body as rumored?"

Jun Zhangjian was secretly alarmed and became even more wary of Jun Xiaoyao.
