In the previous life, although Chu Rui was the true powerholder of the first family, in fact... what she was responsible for was not things like combat. The martial power of the first family was destined to be in the hands of Po Kong, and no family would be an exception to this, no one would hand over the control of military power to an outsider.
What Chu Rui actually managed was the economic affairs. At the height of her power, Chu Rui was the governor of over ten thousand super cities! Responsible for all the city's development and operations, her capability was ridiculously strong.
Yi Luo Xiang was also very intelligent, but she applied her wisdom in different areas, considering things more comprehensively, more broadly.
Upon Chu Rui's earnest request, Xin Yun immediately agreed and took her into the Sky-opening Sect. As for Po Kong's Sky Family, Xin Yun couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore, because talent, no matter the era, is always the most valuable.
