Banquet hall.
Every sentence uttered by Xiao ngyu was like a heavy bomb dropped in the venue.
No one spoke.
Only the orchestra continued to play live music.
Each mber of the orchestra stared at their sheet music as though it was filled with matters of life and death, not daring to look elsewhere.
The female reporter no longer dared to keep recording.
The male reporter took his equipnt to a corner and set fire to it, crying and burning it at the sa ti.
No one paid attention to him.
But he still felt it was not enough and snatched the microphone from the female reporter's hand, then took out his and her mobile phones and threw them into the fire.
So people fidgeted uncomfortably.
The clan young masters who had been eager to try anything stood rooted to the spot, no longer making a sound.
Lady An's face turned ashen.
Yet Xiao ngyu's voice remained as calm as a deep pool:
"Oh, by the way, I have a video and photos here. Do you want to see them? I can send them to you."
"—And there's a video of Song Qingyun saying she wants to marry you."
"Really? Wow, that's explosive, send it to , send it quick!" Shen Ye said.
"Should I send it then?"
"Send it."
The two fiddled with their phones for a while.
Shen Ye excitedly looked up, glanced at Lady An, and laughed loudly:
"Lady An, you were spot on; she really did find sothing!"
"It's fake," Lady An spat out two words, speaking very quickly: "The source of these videos must be flawed; they are edited, and besides, Qingyun would never harm anyone; she is widely recognized as a role model for the new generation and is the president of the student council at Sky Azure High School!"
"There are countless scions of noble families who can testify to that!"
No sooner had she spoken.
Many scions of the noble families stood up, talking over each other in support of Song Qingyun.
Shen Ye abruptly stopped laughing, looked at the scene before him, and said with emotion:
"You major clans have all the advantages, studying various inheritances early and honing 'Comprehension' and 'Resonance.' But the only thing you do before the exams is to bully the commoner students."
"—Beating them to a pulp, all to boost your evaluations."
"At first, I thought you were just cold-blooded."
"But now I understand, you're not even human."
"After all, a casual command from you could kill tens of thousands of people. How could that possibly be the act of a human?"
"—Am I right, Lady An?"
Lady An stood like a stone statue, not moving.
Her upbringing and experience prevented her from acting out in front of all these people.
In the midst of this absurd situation—
Suddenly a voice rang out:
"Zhao Family of Hedong, Zhao Qianjun, invites Shen Ye of the Human Martial Arts Group to have a couple of rounds together."
The group of noble family scions stirred into action.
The leader was a young man with an arrogant deanor.
As soon as he finished his words, he charged directly at Shen Ye.
Manager Qian was about to step in when the elder from the noble family who had apologized earlier held him back.
"The children are just sparring, Manager Qian is worrying too much."
The elder said with a smile.
Manager Qian montary found he couldn't move.
In the blink of an eye—
A gigantic sword shadow soared into the sky, splitting the banquet hall in half, flying into the sky, and disappearing in an instant.
The youth known as Zhao Qianjun was grazed by the sword shadow, thrown far away, crashing into a wall, and spitting out blood.
"Shen Ye hasn't finished speaking; you're being very rude."
Xiao ngyu, holding a long sword, said indifferently.
Dead silence.
The noble scions looked at the Luoshui Divine Sword in her hand and felt the killing intent radiating from her whole body. For the mont, no one dared to step forward.
—With their strength, they could naturally tell that at this mont, anyone who dares to step forward, Xiao ngyu would indeed dare to kill!
Her brother had died because of this matter!
Was it really ti to engage in a life-and-death struggle when the victim was right there?
Everyone hesitated.
The elder from the noble family could not hold back and was about to step forward when Manager Qian grasped his shoulder.
"The children are just sparring, you are worrying too much as well."
Manager Qian said in a low voice.
On the other side.
Lady An had already stepped aside and said to a middle-aged man beside her, "Apply to Kunlun imdiately, block the news here, block the mobile phones of these two people."
"Applying now!" The middle-aged man operated his phone quickly, sweating profusely: "But it's not getting approved!"
Lady An shook her head: "How is it possible, it has never refused our Song Family's request before—I'll talk to it."
She took the phone and said, "It's , block this matter as I've just stated."
A polite and gentle male voice ca from the phone:
"I'm sorry, we cannot complete the blockage this ti."
Lady An, taken aback, asked subconsciously: "Why? Hasn't it always been blocked properly before?"
"The enrollnt of new students at the Three Great High Schools is one of the most important events in human society."
"It symbolizes the developnt standard of human strength for the coming years, so the entire selection process must show the positive side of humanity."
"At this mont, all the cards in the students' possession are in an activated state."
"Tarot Divine Artifact is also paying attention to the whole matter."
"At this point in ti, it is not appropriate for to get involved, so as not to affect the direction of events."
Lady An's gaze carried a trace of gloom.
Shen Ye, keenly aware of sothing, looked into the crowd and saw a young man in white step forward to stand beside Lady An.
"I've long heard of Miss Xiao's extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, and now that I see it, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"I was originally here just to attend the enrollnt banquet."
"But I'll play along with you today."
After the young man finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and walked to the center of the venue.
The surrounding people whispered amongst themselves.
```
Shen Ye also felt that the other person looked sowhat familiar.
That's right.
Wasn't this youth the one who was ranked fourth on the "Newcor" rankings?
What was his na?
The first place was too dazzling, so he didn't pay much attention to those below and couldn't rember now.
"You want to duel with ?" Xiao ngyu asked.
"Co on, the fifth rank, let show you why I'm one rank higher than you," the youth in white said.
Xiao ngyu harrumphed, about to step down, but was pulled back by Shen Ye.
"What's wrong?" Xiao ngyu asked.
"Sothing's not right about this," Shen Ye said.
"What's not right?" the youth in white asked.
Shen Ye took out a tarot card, pressing it against his palm, and showed the front to everyone:
"She's currently in a battle with and can't fight with you."
"You could just concede, and it would all be over," the youth in white said, with a wry smile.
"Why should I concede?" Shen Ye asked.
"You think you're stronger than her?" the youth in white retorted.
"Xiao ngyu, we're not fighting him!" Shen Ye turned to Xiao ngyu and said.
The youth in white sneered coldly and said:
"Miss Xiao's strength is definitely not limited to what she showed just now. She's worthy of a duel with , and besides... she can disregard her uncle's words, so why should she listen to you?"
Just as Xiao ngyu was about to draw her sword, upon hearing this, she sheathed it instead and stood behind Shen Ye.
"What Shen Ye said is right; I'll listen to Shen Ye,"
Xiao ngyu said indifferently.
Shen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The youth in white had a black snake with a triangular head coiled around him.
Xiao ngyu may be a Sword Saint, but she seed unable to see the snake.
She'd definitely be at a disadvantage if they really fought.
"You guys are so scared to fight . Why bother trying to show off here?"
The youth in white sighed and said: "Co on, kneel down before Lady An and apologize properly. Otherwise, you won't be able to get through tonight."
The black snake on his body slowly slithered down, landing on the red carpet, and moved slowly towards Xiao ngyu and Shen Ye.
Hearing this, Xiao ngyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked slowly towards Shen Ye.
——Isn't he going to do anything?
Shen Ye's heart tightened once again.
He stared at the wandering black snake—
It can't be.
At such a formal and grand banquet, could there really not be a single person who could see that snake?
Impossible!
However, no one spoke out or took action.
So it turned out...
That this must be tacitly allowed.
The subtleties of clan relationships.
All in this unobstructed silence.
Shen Ye felt a tinge of emotion and rubbed the tarot card, flipping it to look at the back.
A line of small letters erged on the card:
"Dead man."
"You've offended several noble families; you're dood," Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh.
This tarot card is amusing; every ti I look at it, it's cursing .
But that's okay—
So things can't be stopped by life or death.
"Xiao ngyu," Shen Ye said.
"Hmm?" Xiao ngyu looked up at him.
"I concede," Shen Ye said.
"Is that necessary?" Xiao ngyu asked.
"Trust ," Shen Ye said.
"...Okay," Xiao ngyu agreed.
Together, they looked at the tarot card in their hands.
A line of small letters appeared on the back of their cards:
"Battle over, Shen Ye concedes, Xiao ngyu wins."
Xiao ngyu stepped back.
Shen Ye stepped forward, staring at the youth in white:
"Xiao ngyu just won against —if you want to fight her, you must first defeat . Do you have any objections?"
"Oh? A Two-Star piece dares to show off?" the youth crossed his arms and said, "Fine, beating you can still earn so points and warm up a bit—let's fight."
"State your na," Shen Ye said.
"You're not worthy," the youth said.
"Is that so?" Shen Ye asked.
"Yes," the youth said.
The black snake turned its head slightly, no longer staring at Xiao ngyu but fixing its vertical pupils on Shen Ye, slowly rising from the ground—
The battle erupted in an instant.
Shen Ye suddenly leapt forward nimbly, his hands carrying the continuously swirling Thunder Light, striking towards the void.
The black snake swung its body, using its tail to strike with full force at Shen Ye's palm.
A clap of thunder-like booming resounded.
People only saw Shen Ye strike at nothingness, utterly confused as to why such a collision sound could arise from the encounter.
However, the expressions on the faces of the adults sitting in the distance changed.
"Impossible."
"He saw it?"
"—Really?"
"Dharma Eye? He's awakened it at such a young age?"
The crowd murmured quietly.
