Fang Geyu’s gaze lightly swept over the four of them. “This is the team of Guest Elder cultivators my father has found for me. You’re from Tiangge City, aren’t you? But isn’t that my city? In the end, it’s like wool coming from the sheep’s back; how much trust must he have in me to not even provide me with a single Chengling Realm cultivator?” Look at how important she thinks she is, as if Chengling Realm cultivators were as common as large carrots, her tone genuinely discontent. In all the world, it would be difficult to find a handful of people who could summon four Sea Expansion Realm cultivators to serve as diligent Guest Elders. Chai Ye remained humble in his demeanor, showing no sign of dissatisfaction when judged so critically by a teenage girl. He said earnestly, “Every blade of grass and creature in Tiangge City belongs to the Third Miss, and naturally, so do we four brothers and sisters. We swear to bring glory and victory to the young lady unto death.” “Swear to death?” Fang Geyu stood up and looked down at them from above, her index finger caressing the gemstone on the hilt of her sword. She chuckled disdainfully, “I have no need for such cheap oaths wagered upon life. Rather than such solemn vows, I trust the money in my pocket more. What brought you here wasn’t some ethereal loyalty, it was money.” With her sword tapping the ground, Fang Geyu’s expression grew colder and more solemn. Though young, she possessed an aura sharp and ready to strike. “I bought your lives with money; just quietly be of use to me. Spare me your sanctimonious nonsense. Everything in Tiangge City naturally belongs to me; that’s a given, with no need for your oaths to overemphasize it.” Chai Ye looked up deeply at Fang Geyu, his eyes flickering with a mysterious light. He lowered his head even further, bowing lower, “As you say, Miss.” The three behind him, however, seemed much younger and more vigorous, their eyes filled with an indomitable spirit. But out of respect for Fang Geyu’s illustrious status, they held their tongues. Among the four, the only female cultivator, An Siqi, could no longer restrain herself. Fang Geyu’s words were full of contempt for Sea Expansion Realm cultivators. Although they say, “He who takes the king’s coin becomes his man,” the dignity of a Sea Expansion Realm should not be trampled upon so. Everyone in Shifang City knew that this young lady was capricious and untamed. Participating in the grand examination as a Guest Elder was a thankless task. Engaged in the most dangerous and arduous work, it was she, the idle rich young lady, who reaped the rewards without toiling. And this young lady was never one to consider her underlings. She carried herself with an air of superiority, as if the efforts of others were owed to her. Even if they died in battle for her, she could calmly accept others’ sacrifices. Thus, in the assessment for the City Lord, there was an endless stream of people willing to serve the eldest and second sons, seeing an opportunity for a better future. As for the Third Miss, while people respected and protected her, if talking about those truly willing to work for her earnestly, there were hardly a few. If it weren’t for their unfortunate allegiance to Tiangge City, if it weren’t for Xianling City’s abundance of Spiritual Energy, truly no one would be willing to wade into these troubled waters. Having harbored resentments for a long time, An Siqi couldn’t stand having her loyalty and vows devalued in this way. Yet she didn’t dare to express her dissatisfaction openly and instead spoke indirectly. “Third Miss has a heart filled with many depths and possesses shocking talent; it’s understandable that she doesn’t think much of us. If the Miss indeed can find better Guest Elders than us, naturally, we wouldn’t have the shamelessness to occupy Miss’s spots.” Her companions neither contradicted nor agreed with her statement, each keeping their eyes and expressions lowered, revealing no opinion. Fang Geyu’s eyes flickered with amusement as she eyed her, a cold laugh escaping her lips, “You really think you’re someone special.” Chai Ye suddenly smiled, “I heard that the Third Miss gave up a Sea Expansion Realm spot and found another Guest Elder by herself. Surely you must have found an extremely capable master?” As he spoke, his gaze subtly drifted in the direction of Lin Yuan. Having lost both legs, Lin Yuan appeared no different from an ordinary person. But she was born in the great sea and was naturally blessed by the Sea God. Her aura was naturally stable and calm, like a sea under a gentle breeze and calm waves, revealing only its surface, unaware of the surging undercurrents below. Chai Ye thought to himself that the young mistress had always had an inexplicable bond with the distant Kongcang Mountain. Seeking the assistance of the Mountain Realm for this occasion was indeed a wise move. Fang Geyu inwardly frowned, thinking how useless that little corpse demon was, looking frail and delicate; she could knock down ten like him with one punch, hardly any kind of master. But after all, he was one of their own from the Mountain Realm. It was alright for her to mock and bully him a bit on normal days, just to ease the boredom. But it wouldn’t do to let outsiders look down on him. She cleared her throat and brazenly said, “Indeed, I did invite someone more useful than you four. With his help, the City Lord’s seat will surely be within easy reach.” Whether it was within easy reach she did not know; for now, she was just bluffing, to let the bluff take shape first. Later, she could equip that brat with a powerful Puppet Mecha with a destructive ability. Unleashing chaos in the competition without lifting a finger herself. She wanted to see who dared look down on her. Seeing Fang Geyu’s self-assured demeanor, An Siqi dared not speak rashly, fearing she would bring shame upon herself. Perhaps she had underestimated the mistress who seemed only to idle about all day. Being able to invite someone even more formidable than the four of them, her tactics were profound indeed. Chai Ye smiled, “Oh? Such a powerful fellow Daoist? Then I really must ask the Miss to introduce us. During the examination, it’s not just about individual combat; there’s also team assessment. If we could receive guidance from Daoist friend, perhaps our chances of victory could increase in the examination three months from now.” Fang Geyu was thinking about how to evade the subject as Baili An’s current state was somewhat embarrassing. Out of nowhere, like a dead fish lying on Lin Yuan’s legs, Baili An’s body convulsed. His eyes carried a rare annoyance, the first time he had so clearly shown his little temper. “What?!!! Three… Three months before the examination begins, Fang Geyu, you liar!” Fuming, he picked up the Afu Tu rabbit that was snuggled comfortably on his chest and hurled it towards Fang Geyu. Fang Geyu reflexively grabbed the rabbit by the ears, swung it around and tossed it back into Baili An’s arms. She said without a hint of guilt, “Is that so? I must have remembered wrong then.” Baili An, imitating Fang Geyu’s action, straightened the rabbit’s ears, about to use them as a sandbag to throw back. But before he could swing it twice, the rabbit woke up.
