That reprimand caused Shi Tiange to freeze in place.
In all these years, this was the first time someone had slammed a table in front of her.
How had her husband become so bold after coming out of seclusion this time?
Ye Zhendong suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Yu’er is no longer a child! He has already grown up."
"Do you know the restrictions of the dance competition? It limits Divine Maidens, and those with outstanding beauty are given priority. What does that imply?"
"He has started liking beautiful Divine Maidens."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Shi Tiange’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said softly, "You mean..."
Before she could finish, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Ye Zhendong eagerly cut in, "That’s right. What’s wrong with finding him a wife?"
"I have already thought about this matter."
"So what if Yu’er’s aptitude isn’t good? That doesn’t mean his son won’t be!"
"If this account is ruined, we’ll train a smaller one!"
"When the time comes, we’ll raise a genius and slap the faces of those people outside who gossip!"
Hearing this, light appeared in Shi Tiange’s eyes.
"Good idea! Since Yu’er has grown up, by reason and sentiment, we should find him a wife!"
"This matter cannot be handled carelessly. It must be carefully considered!"
"It’s not enough for her to be beautiful. Background, aptitude, temperament—each must be the best of the best!"
"I’ll personally start handling this immediately!"
As she spoke, Shi Tiange walked straight toward the outside.
The Young Master of Xuanji Hall selecting a spouse—this was a top priority event for the Divine Alliance and had to be handled with utmost caution.
However, when she reached the entrance of the main hall, Shi Tiange suddenly stopped.
She turned her head to look at Ye Zhendong and said word by word, "By the way, did you just slam the table at me?"
That simple sentence made Ye Zhendong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cavern.
"No, my wife, listen to my explanation. I was just too nervous. I didn’t slam the table. I didn’t, I didn’t!"
Ye Zhendong’s repeated pleas slightly softened Shi Tiange’s expression.
But her voice remained cool. "I will go select suitable candidates. Since Yu’er wants to continue the dance competition, let it continue. But you are not allowed to go watch. Understood?"
"Understood!"
Ye Zhendong subconsciously straightened his body.
His eyes were filled with a desperate will to survive.
The next day.
In Bitter Joy City of the Mortal Realm, a middle aged man with a cold and sinister expression arrived at this stretch of ruins.
Looking at the surroundings, his expression grew extremely grave.
His name was Zhu E. He came from the Wraith Sect and was also the true master of the Bride Clad Female Ghost.
Last night, the reason the two Deity Transformation Realm elders secretly sent by Four Directions Pavilion to protect Qi Yuan had not appeared—
Was because Zhu E had killed them.
He had originally thought that the Bride Clad Female Ghost would devour Qi Yuan and the other several Four Directions Pavilion disciples, further increasing her strength.
But unexpectedly, a sudden celestial phenomenon descended from the sky. That terrifying pressure made Zhu E not dare approach even half a step. He could only retreat tens of thousands of miles away at high speed.
Immediately afterward, he sensed that he had lost contact with the Bride Clad Female Ghost.
Even so, Zhu E did not have the courage to come over at once.
He waited until now.
Judging from the residual aura at the scene, at the very least this had been the work of a Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse.
Four Directions Pavilion did not seem to possess such a powerful existence.
Then where had this person come from?
Had they come specifically to save Qi Yuan?
From the Bride Clad Female Ghost’s final perspective, that terrifying aura had arrived at the perfect moment.
A few more breaths and Qi Yuan would have died here.
But in the end, it had fallen short.
After thinking it over repeatedly, Zhu E felt it necessary to notify Guang Miao. Thus he took out a communication stone and recounted everything that had happened here.
On the other side, within Four Directions Pavilion.
After listening to the message from the communication stone, Guang Miao felt as though the sky had collapsed.
In truth, her real identity was an undercover agent sent by the Wraith Sect into Four Directions Pavilion.
Here, Guang Miao could be said to have smooth sailing. Her strength was sufficient, her prestige was high, and even her master, the Grand Elder, had revealed that as long as she endured another ten years, she would become the new elder of Four Directions Pavilion.
At that time, once she stepped into the sect’s upper ranks, she could provide even more useful information to the Wraith Sect.
They might even coordinate from within and without to destroy Four Directions Pavilion in one stroke.
But Qi Yuan’s appearance had made Guang Miao feel a sense of crisis.
That little girl was too monstrous.
Breaking through realms in cultivation was as simple for her as eating and drinking.
Even the Pavilion Master had personally said that this girl would inevitably ascend and become an immortal in the future.
The first principle of being an undercover agent was to strangle geniuses in the cradle.
So Guang Miao deliberately had Zhu E stir up trouble in Bitter Joy City. At that time, she would use the excuse of bringing Qi Yuan out for trial training.
Then she would kill her and extract her soul to refine into a ghost entity.
The key was to waste nothing.
Everything had gone smoothly. To create a high quality ghost entity, Guang Miao had not killed Qi Yuan personally.
Instead, she had wanted the Bride Clad Female Ghost to act, letting Qi Yuan experience extreme terror so that the ghost born after death would have a higher grade.
Seeing that matters were proceeding so smoothly, Guang Miao had turned and left Bitter Joy City, returning to Four Directions Pavilion this morning.
She had cried to her Grand Elder master, claiming that there had been a Harmony Realm ghost in Bitter Joy City and that aside from herself, all the other disciples had been wiped out.
In that way, Qi Yuan’s death would appear entirely justified.
But what Guang Miao had never expected was that after she had just finished crying here—
Zhu E would turn around and tell her that Qi Yuan had not died?
Damn you, why didn’t you say something this important earlier?
Qi Yuan had personally seen her kill fellow disciples. How was she supposed to smooth this over now?
Guang Miao angrily cursed into the communication stone.
But there was no response from Zhu E’s side.
In fury, Guang Miao smashed the communication stone in her hand onto the ground, then turned to look out the window.
She saw a female disciple walking from outside. As she passed by the window, she silently dropped a slip of paper.
On it was written clearly: Qi Yuan has just used a communication jade to contact the Grand Elder, claiming that you were bewitched by a ghost and killed two disciples, and are now missing. Quickly think of a way to break the situation.
After reading the message, Guang Miao’s heart trembled violently.
That female disciple was an undercover agent of the same batch who had come with her. The information should not be wrong.
But how could breaking the situation be so easy?
Guang Miao even thought of fleeing this place.
But it was already too late.
Several streaks of light were rapidly flying toward this direction.
The one leading them was her master, the Grand Elder.
Guang Miao clenched her teeth tightly, her expression grave to the extreme.
That afternoon, under the escort of three elders of Four Directions Pavilion, Qi Yuan successfully returned to the sect.
