Chapter 27

Still in the ninth position, I want to make progress!

Xu Haobo left with some depression, truly not wanting Xu Ziyun to take the risk. However, if he were to admit that he was not as good as Xu Ziyun, he could only leave under the cover of night, with a stern face. But as he walked, his heart became happy again. Because he thought that such a Xu Ziyun was a true genius, a cultivation genius not only needs the talent for cultivation but also a firm heart.

The next day, early morning.

Xu Ziyun opened the door and saw nineteen people standing neatly outside, who were the nineteen new disciples. Xu Ziyun's gaze swept over each person, and although their faces were somewhat haggard, it was clear they had not slept well last night, but their eyes all revealed determination.

Xu Ziyun nodded in satisfaction and firmly waved her hand, saying, "Let's go!"

On the central square of the Xu family, Xu Haoliang was standing on a high platform, making a grand speech, gesturing wildly and speaking with great emotion. Xu Ziyun, leading the nineteen new disciples, stood behind the outer hall disciples. She appeared to be listening respectfully, but her eyes were scanning the surroundings. She saw her second uncle Xu Haobo, fourth uncle Xu Haomiao, and several older people, who must be her uncles.

Since they were all facing the sky, Xu Ziyun could not see the faces of her uncles, but even with her toes, she could imagine they were all unhappy. Her gaze then swept over the disciples on the square, and she saw that whether they were from the inner hall or the outer hall, they all stood solemnly with serious faces.

Suddenly, a smile flashed in Xu Ziyun's eyes because she saw Xu Lin in the inner hall's formation. At that moment, Xu Lin was standing straight, but his eyes were very mischievous, darting around. When their eyes met, Xu Lin suddenly froze, and then the two of them smiled at each other understandingly.

Their gazes met and quickly withdrew, as if nothing had happened, and they glanced up at the high platform, where Xu Haoliang was still talking non-stop. The two of them then began to secretly look around. After a full circle, Xu Ziyun felt bored, as the disciples all stood there like wooden figures, with nothing but seriousness on their faces.

Her gaze swept over a row of disciples, and she thought, "I wonder what Xu Lin looks like now? He looked so mischievous just now, it was really funny." Her gaze involuntarily turned back to Xu Lin, and Xu Ziyun couldn't help but be startled. She saw that Xu Lin was staring at her with wide eyes, not blinking.

Seeing Xu Ziyun looking at him, Xu Lin winked at her and made a funny face. Xu Ziyun almost burst out laughing but held back her laughter, glared at him, and then nodded towards Xu Haoliang, who was speaking on the high platform.

Xu Lin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and secretly pointed at Xu Ziyun with his finger, meaning, "Aren't you also not listening? Why are you saying I am?"

Xu Ziyun frowned and thought, "That day, I saw him as a talented and handsome person, but I didn't expect him to be so mischievous." Thus, Xu Ziyun had the idea to tease him. She slightly crouched down, hiding behind the front row of people, so Xu Haoliang on the high platform couldn't see her. Then she turned her head slightly and stared tightly at Xu Lin.

At first, Xu Lin didn't care and winked at Xu Ziyun, but gradually he felt uncomfortable under Xu Ziyun's gaze. His gaze left Xu Ziyun and scanned around, but in the end, he couldn't help but meet Xu Ziyun's gaze again. This time, he was determined and crouched down a little, just like Xu Ziyun, and stared at her without blinking. The two of them were like a pair of fighting roosters, neither willing to back down.

Xu Haoliang said a lot on the high platform, but there was no response below, only serious faces. Of course, there was no response, as those sent out were not Xu Haoliang's subordinates, and everyone knew what was going on. Since they couldn't resist, they could at least remain silent.

Xu Haoliang spoke for a long time, excited as the family's leader, and talked a lot. But when he noticed the silence below, he realized he had been too excited and stopped, feeling a bit bored.

This stop made the entire central square suddenly quiet. Xu Ziyun and Xu Lin were startled and quickly turned their heads, straightened their bodies, and stood solemnly, looking up at Xu Haoliang on the high platform.

At this moment, Xu Haoliang also realized he had said too much and began to seriously instruct some matters. After all, if his family couldn't defend the Mystic Valley, the Xu family would have no place in the Central Capital in the future.

Seeing Xu Haoliang start speaking again, Xu Ziyun and Xu Lin looked at each other. Seeing the other looking at them, they smiled at each other again. Xu Lin saw Xu Ziyun's lips form a line, curling up, and her charming big eyes bending into a crescent moon, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his face turned red involuntarily.

At this moment, Xu Haoliang finally finished speaking. The five hundred inner hall disciples and five hundred outer hall disciples, led by Xu Haobo and others, walked out of the city gate towards the Mystic Valley.

Not far from the city gate, they saw three teams standing on the official road ahead. Xu Ziyun looked up and saw a large flag in the middle of the road, with the character "Li" written on it, which she knew was the City Lord's team. On the left side of the road, there was a large flag with the character "Xiao" written on it, which was the Xiao family's team. On the right side of the road, there was a large flag with the character "Wu" written on it, which was the Wu family's team.

These three families were not led by their heads but by their second-in-commands. The City Lord's team was led by Li Wanpeng's younger brother, Li Wanbao. The Xiao family's team was led by Xiao Rugui's second brother, Xiao Ruxing. The Wu family's team was led by Wu Meng's third brother, Wu Yue.

Li Wanbao, Xiao Ruxing, and Wu Yue were talking and laughing on the official road, occasionally looking towards the city gate, clearly waiting for the Xu family's team to come out.

Seeing Xu Haobo leading the team out of the city gate, the three of them immediately put on fake smiles, "Ha ha" laughing and walking towards Xu Haobo to greet him.
