Chapter 12: Before Departure

Lin Yaoyang's face was now a deadly shade of pale, and he wanted to slap his stupid son to death.

He never thought that his son would be so stupid at such a critical moment, that he would still be thinking with his little head on and show mercy to Xue Ruoxue.

Originally, if Lin Beiyang had defeated Xue Ruoxue, he would have entered the top two, and thus had the chance to go to the Tianyuan Palace for the selection test.

Since Xiao Jijun had been killed by Yang Chenjun, and Lin Beiyang had been knocked out, there were only three contestants left.

Now that Xue Ruoxue had defeated Lin Beiyang, the top two had been determined, namely Yang Chenjun and Xue Ruoxue.

"The next match will be Lin Beiyang against Yang Chenjun," said Han Tianling.

"I concede," Lin Beiyang said, choosing to concede. He knew he was no match for Yang Chenjun, so there was no point in going up against him.

"The final match will be Yang Chenjun against Xue Ruoxue," said Han Tianling.

When he heard his name, Yang Chenjun leaped to his feet and jumped onto the stage.

Xue Ruoxue also walked onto the stage. Originally, she had wanted to concede, but considering that this was the selection test for the Tianyuan Palace, if she just conceded, what if the Tianyuan Palace envoy didn't accept her in the end and she had lost out? That would be a huge loss.

"Yang Chenjun, we're just sparring, you won't go too hard on me, right?" Xue Ruoxue's voice was soft and gentle. Before, Yang Lian had defeated Xiao Jijun in two rounds and slapped Lin Beichen, the first genius of the Cold City, unconscious, so Xiao Ruoxue was really afraid that Yang Lian would use excessive force against her.

"Then, you should return the money I spent on you, and I'll consider using less force." Yang Lian smiled and said.

"Are you still a man? Being so stingy about a little money." Xiao Ruoxue said angrily.

She never thought that the current Yang Lian would be so stingy. Not only did he take back her elegant sword, but now he even wanted her to pay him back.

"Am I a man? You can try it out tonight at my place." Yang Lian raised the corner of his mouth and had a wicked smile.

"Dirty pervert."

Xiao Ruoxue cursed and slapped Yang Lian with a palm.

Facing Xiao Ruoxue's attack, Yang Lian put his left hand behind his back and used only his right hand to easily block her.

Of course, Yang Lian couldn't really use excessive force against Xiao Ruoxue. After all, the two families were long-time friends, and he and Xiao Ruoxue had grown up together.

After dozens of moves passed, Xiao Ruoxue took a step back and scolded, "Yang Lian, you won, but one day, I will definitely win back what I lost."

For Xiao Ruoxue's words, Yang Lian just smiled and didn't say anything. Just then, Ling Yanshen, who was sitting in the stands, stood up and said in a soft voice, "You two should prepare well. Tomorrow, you will accompany us to the Tianyuan Palace."

As Ling Yanshen's voice faded away, her figure disappeared from the spot, followed by Dongfang Jie.

Yang Wanshao headed back to the direction of the Yang family.

At this moment, the entire Yang family was very excited. If Yang Wanshao could join the Tianyuan Palace, it would mean the rise of the Yang family.

Because the Tianyuan Palace was a top-ranking sect in the North Xuan domain, even a junior disciple of the Tianyuan Palace was not someone that a common city lord could afford to offend.

At this moment, Lin Yaoheng's face was the darkest. Originally, his two sons were sure to get a chance to take the Tianyuan Palace's examination.

Who knew that his eldest son had been knocked unconscious by Yang Wanshao, while his youngest son had lost his mind and been defeated by Han Ruoxue. Every time he thought about this, Lin Yaoheng felt angry.

"Hahah... Dao Lin brother, you really hid your talent well! Wanshao's nephew has such amazing talent, yet you've kept it a secret."

At this moment, Han Tianling, accompanied by Han Ruoxue, walked over.

Yang Dalin coughed lightly and smiled, "Hmm... Tianling brother, Ruoxue niece's talent is not bad either."

"Wanshao nephew, Uncle has a favor to ask of you." Han Tianling said awkwardly. "Uncle Han, please go ahead." Yang Chenyang said respectfully.

"Now that you and Ruoxue have passed the selection tests for the Tianyuan Palace, your potential for the future is limitless. If both of you end up going to the Tianyuan Palace, Uncle hopes you can look out for Ruoxue." Han Tianling said.

"Uncle, you can rest assured. We grew up together, and if she needs any help that I can provide, I'll do my best to help her." Yang Chenyang promised.

"Ha ha, with your promise, Uncle can rest easy." Han Tianling laughed.

Han Ruoxue didn't say anything, just glanced at Yang Chenyang secretly. At this moment, she felt that Yang Chenyang was very cunning.

After all, the previous Yang Chenyang was idle and did nothing productive, and his cultivation level was pathetically low.

Now he had suddenly transformed himself into the number one genius of the Yan Yang City,

"This bastard is too good at putting on an act! He's so powerful, yet he's pretended to be a spoiled brat for so many years!" Han Ruoxue thought to herself.

After chatting with Han Tianling for a while, the group left the scene.

They returned to the Yang family.

The main residence of the family head. "Morning, be as discreet as possible when you're out in the world. Think before you do anything, and don't engage in a direct confrontation with anyone unless you're absolutely sure. If an unavoidable battle arises, either don't fight at all, or make sure you don't leave any loopholes for yourself if you do." Yang Dalin advised.

"Don't worry, father. In this world, only I can scheme against others, no one can scheme against me. Once I become a disciple of the Tianyuan Palace's inner sect, I'll come back to see you," Yang Chenchen said.

"Good, go back and rest well!"

For the son who was about to leave, Yang Dalin's eyes showed a ripple of reluctance, but he quickly hid it away. After all, his son had grown up and it was time for him to venture out into the world.

After returning to his residence, Yang Chenchen fell into deep thought. He was also a little reluctant to leave the Yang family, as this was the place where he had grown up.

Although Yang Chenchen was a person who had come from another world, his soul had merged with the previous Yang Chenchen's, so they were practically one and the same.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Yang Chenchen got up early and meticulously groomed himself.

Accompanied by Yang Dalin and the rest of the Yang family, Yang Chenchen once again arrived at the central square of the Xiangyang City.

Today, he was wearing a white, luxurious robe, with deep, piercing eyes, a handsome face with a hint of boyish charm, and a dash of determination in his appearance. "Ha ha, Dorling brother is here." Xian Tianling smiled.

When the Yang family members arrived at the central square of the Xian City, the Xian family members had already arrived.

Today the Xian family was coming in full force to see off Xian Ruoxue.

"Tianling brother, you're here early!" Yang Daolin smiled.

At this moment, a huge celestial boat appeared in the distant sky, and in an instant, it stopped in the central square.

Only to see Ling Yanshen with a snowy veil on her face, wearing a tight-fitting long jacket, walking slowly out.

"Come on board! It's time to leave." Ling Yanshen's voice was cold.

Yang Wuxiao and Xian Ruoxue both said goodbye to their clan members and then boarded the celestial boat.
