The Strong Are Respected

Elder Zhao also knew that Zhao Xue was in the wrong in this matter. However, Zhao Xiangxiang was the victor after all. Her conditions were natural, so she accidentally hurt Zhao Huai. All he could say was that Zhao Huai was incapable.

If Elder Zhao stood up for Zhao Huai, then Zhao Family would lose all credibility.

"Zheng'er, it's normal for something like this to happen when the two of them are sparring."

Very normal? Zhao Shuning held her hand tightly.

There were two completely different concepts: intentional and carelessness.

She looked at everyone present. Their faces were cold, without a single trace of resentment.

The Great Swamp of the Eastern Wastelands was still a land like this. The people who lost respected the strong, and they didn't deserve a shred of pity.

"Father!"

The four-year-old girl, Zhao Shuning, jumped down from her seat. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone on the platform to hear.

"Father, Second Uncle is right."

Zhao Shuning ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and slowly walked in front of Elder Zhao. She bowed deeply towards Elder Zhao and asked: "Grandfather, am I a person of Zhao Family?"

"Of course."

"Then is it true that I am qualified to participate in today's Spiritual Energy assessment?"

The moment Zhao Shuning said this, the four of them burst into an uproar.

A four year old baby wanted to participate in the Spiritual Energy test? This was a huge joke.

Since ancient times, other than the eighth phase Empress who became Apothecary when she was young, no one else had ever succeeded in Great Land of Dongze.

"Shuning — you?"

Zhao Shuning smiled sweetly at her family. After which, she turned around and said to the crowd, "Since all of you only respect the strong, then I will become the strong."

A four year old little milk baby stood on the high platform and said such provocative words.

Her eyes were filled with fearlessness.

In an instant, everyone was stunned, but it was only for an instant.

When everyone finally reacted, the crowd burst into laughter. "Hahaha, a little baby, why would he say such funny words?"

Yes, no one believed Zhao Shuning, this girl who was only four years old, to have no persuasive power at all.

There were a lot of people watching. Some of them even smiled and bent at the waist, unable to get up for a long time.

The disciples of the Zhao Family were not so brazenly laughing at her.

After all, they were all people of Zhao Family, and in terms of face, it was not easy to make everyone look bad.

"Shuning, stop messing around. Come down quickly." Zhao Zheng felt embarrassed.

Zhao Shuning, who had always been well-behaved, was now motionless.

If it was in the past, she would not have bothered to look at Elder Zhao, who was sitting on the main seat, the third stage Apothecary. However, her identity was different now, she was only Zhao Shuning, and the people sitting in the high seats were the main characters controlling the Spiritual Energy examination.

"Grandfather!"

"Ning, you should know that if you are unable to detect any Spiritual Energy, you might lose all of your father's face."

That face was something Zhao Huai had only managed to get back when he was heavily injured.

"I know." Zhao Shuning clenched her fists tightly.

If Zhao Xue hadn't been so overbearing, she wouldn't have stood up. She would rather slowly cultivate by herself than to show off too early.

When Lin Min'er saw this, she wanted to stand up to stop him, but was stopped by Zhao Huai.

"Mother, you have to believe Ning."

Zhao Huai's face was pale. It was very difficult for him to speak, but he had confidence in his sister.

He had always known that Ning was absolutely not someone who would fall into the lake.

Lin Min'er sighed deeply. It was a promise.

Zhao Shuning swept her gaze across the crowd below the stage and laughed strangely: "Didn't I say before, the strongest warrior in the Spiritual Energy can raise a condition with Grandfather, right?"

"Yes."

"As long as it doesn't go against the rules and doesn't go against the rules, anything is fine?"

"Yes."

Zhao Shuning was obviously talking to Elder Zhao, but her eyes were staring at Zhao Xue.

For some reason, when Zhao Xue was stared at by a girl like her, he felt a chill down his spine. Fear couldn't help but rise in his heart.

It seemed as if he had provoked some terrifying existence.

The boy looked at him like a hawk soaring in the sky, excited at the sight of its prey on the ground.

"Then, let's begin."

Zhao Shuning had a smile on her face as she walked to the center of the platform and slowly placed her hand on the Spirit Stone.
