Chapter 173 - Matriarch's Return
Xiao Fang and Li Xiang arrived outside of the Tiger-Class residential area. Since only Tiger-Class disciples were allowed access into this area, Xiao Fang waited outside of the barrier as Li Xiang went in.
A few minutes later, Xiao Hei rushed out of the barrier and crashed into Xiao Fang.
"Fang!~" she said happily as she ran into his arms.
"Hahaha, did you miss ?" He said as he brushed her hair.
"Un, I missed you a lot," she replied as she snuggled her head against his body.
Xiao Fang suddenly stopped brushing her hair then he started acting mad.
"Ho ho, didn’t I tell you not to call by my real na. Repeat after , Long Wang, Long Wang."
"Fang~ Fang~" she said happily.
Xiao Fang’s eyebrow twitched.
"Acting cute won’t save you. If you don’t say it right, I’m really going to punish you."
She looked down at his body then grinned.
"Daddy can punish whenever he likes," she said in a cute tone.
’There she goes calling Daddy again...’ Xiao Fang thought. He assud he’d eventually get used to it, but he still found it was a bit strange.
Xiao Fang realized what she was doing. She might’ve seed cute and unaware, but he knew she was much smarter than she appeared to be.
"Fei Lin, we can have fun later, there are a few things we need to do first."
Xiao Fang explained his plan for the day, but as he was explaining it, Li Xiang suddenly stepped out of the barrier. The barrier was transparent, but since he couldn’t hear anything past it, he couldn’t sense Li Xiang coming.
"Fei Lin, you’re so fast!"
Li Xiang struggled to speak because she was out of breath. She noticed that Xiao Hei was standing inappropriately close to Xiao Fang, but she didn’t comnt on it.
"Li Xiang, I must thank you for helping find Fei Lin, I don’t think I would’ve been able to find her so soon without your help."
"Don’t ntion it," Li Xiang smiled. "So, what are you going to do now?"
"We’re going to look for a guild," Xiao Hei suddenly said.
"Ah, a guild? Can I co?"
Xiao Hei looked up at Xiao Fang as if she was looking for his permission.
...
Li Xiang felt guilty that she couldn’t let them join her Li Family Clan’s Guild, so she wanted to help them in anyway she could.
Xiao Fang on the other hand couldn’t understand why she was being so friendly with him. No one in the Divine Sword sect was ever so charismatic and easily trusting of strangers like her, so it was sothing he wasn’t used to.
What he didn’t know was that she was only acting this way because of the help he gave her during the maze test in the inner court exam. Without his help, she didn’t think she would’ve passed that test at all.
...
"Sure, why not," Xiao Fang said.
Xiao Hei and Li Xiang looked at each other with excited looks on their faces. As Xiao Fang began to walk towards the guild recruitnt center, the two girls followed close behind him.

anwhile outside of the Matriarch’s hall, the Matriarch’s carriage finally arrived and stopped in front of 6 Supre Elders. The Supre Elders were all formally dressed and each of them were emitting an overwhelming aura that made them seem like deities. One Supre Elder gestured for the carriage escorts to leave, so the 7 core court disciples bowed their heads then left, taking the beasts with them.
A few seconds later, the doors opened and the Matriarch stepped out. One Supre Elder approached the Matriarch to greet her.
"Welco back, Matriarch. Did you enjoy your trip?"
"The Li Clansn can be a bit hot headed, but they’re good people. Where are the others?" Shi Lan asked.
"The other Supre Elders still haven’t returned," the Supre Elder replied.
"What about Supre Elder Yao? Any news of her whereabouts yet?"
"None."
"I suppose that was to be expected."
Shi Lan then turned to face the carriage, "Li Lian, aren’t you going to co out?"
The Supre Elders turned their attention back to the carriage. The mont Li Lian stepped out, the Supre Elders all made shocked expressions. Li Lian didn’t look the sa as she did before, she was no longer wearing her plain and battered outer court robes. Although Li Lian was always an extrely beautiful girl, her new robes made her seem like a peerless beauty. It gave her a mystifying and untouchable air girls her age didn’t possess. She finally looked like soone fitting to be called the Matriarch’s only direct disciple.
"Pretty, isn’t she," Shi Lan said with a smile.
"Indeed she is. She might just be the Yu An of her ti."
Although they were just ordinary elders back then, the Supre Elders all knew who Yu An was. Her beauty was so renowned at the ti that it beca synonymous with the term ’peerless beauty’. Li Lian found it strange that they were using Yu An’s na like that, but she knew that it was no exaggeration to say that Yu An was the epito of a peerless beauty.
"I’ve been absent for so ti now, so I’m sure you each have lots to tell ," Shi Lan said before turning to Li Lian. "Little Lian, go make yourself familiar with the core court disciples, I have so work I need to do so I’ll co see you later tonight."
"Yes, Master," Li Lian replied.
One of the Supre Elders escorted Li Lian to go et the core court disciples that were patiently waiting for her return. When the curtains were lifted Li Lian saw several dozens of core court disciples all getting on their knees. Amongst them she saw friends, enemies, and clansn, all of whom where much older than she was. However, in this mont they were all kowtowing to her.
Li Lian smiled awkwardly as she said, "Take good care of ."

Inside of the Matriarch’s Hall, 5 of the 6 Supre Elder’s had left, leaving the last Supre Elder with the Matriarch.
"Supre Elder Quan, I left you in charge of the inner court exam this year. I assu everything went well."
"Yes, Matriarch. There were a few promising disciples this year," the Supre Elder said before telling her about the disciples that caught her eye. She eventually told her about Xiao Hei and Li Xiang too.
"Oh, another impressive Li Family clansn? Who would’ve thought," Shi Lan comnted.
Although the Li Family Clan was one of the 4 major powers in the province, there were only a few of them in the core court.
"Is that it? Did only 2 disciples pass the maze test?" Shi Lan frowned.
The Supre Elder paused before saying, "No, there was 1 more."
Still unhappy that there were only 3 disciples, Shi Lan impatiently said, "Well, out with it then. What’s her na?"
"His na... is Long Wang."
