Chen Li blinked his big, watery eyes and said in a sweet voice, "It's our ancestors! They even gave us their power!" As he spoke, he stretched out his small hand, opening his palm as if something truly lay there.
Shen Qingyue nodded along, her lively eyes clear and bright, revealing no hint of panic or deceit.
Duan Tianxiao chuckled coldly to himself. These two little brats were clever enough to shift everything onto their deceased ancestors. Who would dare question the words of the ancestors? Although he harbored doubts, he also understood that these children must be hiding a significant secret. It didn't matter if they weren't telling the truth; Old Madam would have time to press them for answers later. He thought darkly while maintaining a calm facade, a glimmer of shrewdness flashing in his murky old eyes.
He turned to Chen Yuantu, whose face was ashen, and said in a neutral tone, "Wuding Hou, it wouldn't be wise to execute them without evidence. Besides, they are your own children; why not leave them a chance?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuantu's anger flared within him, yet he felt powerless. He shot a fierce glare at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue but dared not oppose Duan Tianxiao's wishes. Gritting his teeth, he replied, "Everything is up to the Grand Elder!"
Duan Tianxiao nodded in satisfaction and turned to Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, speaking kindly, "How about this? I will take charge and enroll you both in the Imperial Academy for training. What do you think?"
At this declaration, everyone erupted in excitement. The Imperial Academy was the highest institution in the Qian Sheng Empire, a place countless talented youths dreamed of attending!
The members of the Shen Family were overwhelmed with joy, many moved to tears. Shen Zhentian's voice trembled as he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Grand Elder! Thank you!"
Chen Yuantu's expression darkened further but found himself unable to intervene and could only step aside. You two little beasts better watch out! Once you enter the Imperial Academy, don’t expect to have an easy time! Chen Yuantu thought viciously, his eyes glinting with resentment.
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances and saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes. They knew that while Duan Tianxiao appeared kind on the surface, he was filled with schemes beneath.
However, it didn’t matter much to them. As long as they could smoothly enter the Imperial Academy, it would facilitate their training and allow them to showcase their talents. At least even if their cultivation soared dramatically, it wouldn’t draw too much attention.
Shen Zhentian and Shen Wanzhou were quite excited as they looked at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, nodding repeatedly in approval.
Even though they had seemed a bit flustered when facing Chen Yuantu earlier, they didn't care. If the siblings could enter the Imperial Academy, it would be an incredible opportunity, one that was hard to come by.
At that moment, Shen Zhentian smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, Shen Qingyue. Follow the teachers and elders of the Imperial Academy to learn. Don't let the Grand Elder down."
"Mm!" Shen Qingyue nodded with relief and followed Chen Li to Duan Tianxiao's side.
Duan Tianxiao looked at the two delicate little ones before him and sighed inwardly. These two kids were cleverer than each other and more skilled at acting; he wondered where they had learned such things. Although he had his doubts, he maintained a calm demeanor, reaching out to pat Chen Li's head with a smile. "Children, prepare yourselves. Three days from now, the instructors from the Imperial Academy will come to pick you up! You must train hard."
"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Chen Li and Shen Qingyue said in unison, both wearing sweet smiles on their faces. Only they knew what calculations and ambitions lay hidden beneath those smiles.
After Duan Tianxiao left, Chen Yuantu's expression darkened to the extreme. At that moment, an unusual wave of power rippled through the air. Moments later, three figures slowly descended.
As the three figures came into view, discussions erupted among the crowd.
It was the Heavenly Gate Cloud Sword Elder!
And the Golden Sun Sect Fiery Sun Elder had also arrived!
That one is Holy Spirit Palace Elder Lengyue!
The crowd burst into exclamations of surprise, unable to contain their excitement. These three were all renowned powerhouses representing the top forces of the Qian Sheng Empire. Today's bloodline test was precisely to gain the favor of these prominent figures.
Among them stood the Heavenly Gate Cloud Sword Elder, dressed in a purple robe with a white jade longsword at his waist. His gaze was piercing; he exuded an aura of authority without needing to raise his voice, simply standing there created an invisible pressure.
The Golden Sun Sect Fiery Sun Elder was a burly middle-aged man clad in golden brocade robes, radiating a scorching heat that resembled a blazing sun, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at him.
Lastly, there was Holy Spirit Palace Elder Lengyue, dressed in black attire with a stern expression. A chilling aura surrounded her as if she were an ancient block of ice, instilling fear in those who gazed upon her.
The three pairs of eyes scanned the crowd, finally settling on Chen Li and Shen Qingyue. They both frowned slightly, a hint of regret flashing in their eyes.
What a pity. Although these two children have decent talent, they were snatched away by the Imperial Academy first. The Cloud Sword Elder shook his head, his tone tinged with disappointment.
Elder Lengyue remained silent, merely casting a deep glance at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue before shifting her gaze to Chen.
So you are Chen? Elder Lengyue's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Yes, it is I. Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied respectfully.
Not bad, your talent is indeed impressive. I wonder if you would be willing to join our Holy Spirit Palace? Elder Lengyue said.
At this statement, the entire venue erupted in commotion.
The Holy Spirit Palace is one of the top forces in the Qian Sheng Empire; being able to join it is a dream come true for many!
Chen was instantly overjoyed. He suppressed his overwhelming delight and feigned calmness as he said, It would be an honor for me to join the Holy Spirit Palace.
Little guy, you don't have to feel compelled to join the Holy Spirit Palace! If you wish, you can also join our Golden Sun Sect. Old Madam guarantees that we will spare no effort in nurturing you! The Blazing Sun Elder couldn't help but extend an olive branch as well.
Being courted by two top-tier powers made Chen's face beam with pride.
He provocatively glanced at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, sneering, You two little brats better watch out. Once I grow up, I will personally reclaim the humiliation you brought upon the Wuding Marquisate today!
Chen Yuantu looked at Chen with a satisfied smile on his face. However, when his gaze fell on Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, a flicker of resentment immediately flashed in his eyes.
Hmph, you two little bastards will regret this! Chen Yuantu sneered inwardly. Just wait and see how this Lord will deal with you!
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue completely ignored his gaze and provocation.
Shen Qingyue said lightly, Brother, do you think this Chen has some issues? Being accepted by the Holy Spirit Palace seems like he thinks he has become an immortal or something.
Who knows? Perhaps this is what they call a "simp mentality." Chen Li shrugged and replied casually.
Hearing this, Shen Qingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Simp, simp—until there's nothing left!
