Chapter 12 - Level Ten: Ling Gu (1/2)

Yun Qingwan was now under the spotlight.

Being attractive in appearance, having a rare Yuan Gu talent and a good family background, these three factors made her the most desired young girl in the city.

At this moment, almost all the young boys were staring passionately at Yun Qingwan whereas the girls stared at her with eyes full of jealousy.

Of course, Shang Guan Qianzhi also couldn’t hide his desire for her.

I must have Wan Er as my bride! That cripple Mu Feng does not deserve this kind of beauty!

Shang Guan Qianzhi shouted in his mind.

Meanwhile, up on the sixth floor of a building near the square, two men looked down at the beautiful girl who was walking down from the stage.

“So, she’s the daughter of Yun Hai from the Yun family?”

Nan Hao, the prince of Nan Ling kingdom, looked at Yun Qingwan and asked softly.

“That’s right, my lord. She was previously Mu Feng’s fiancée, but I heard that Yun Hai has called of their marriage.”

Duan Qian Mou replied.

“Scoff. Well, I have to say that the Yun family is smart, as they’re well aware of the current situation. They’re aware that they have to cut ties with the Mu family. Hmm, Yun Qingwan is desirable indeed — pretty, talented, and her family background is also not bad. She’s a potential match for my son, Ling Er.”

Nan Hao said with a laugh while praising Yun Qingwan.

“My lord, do you plan to…”

Duan Qian Mou understood what Nan Hao was trying to express.

“Yes. In a few days, prepare some gifts and go to the Yun family to ask for her hand in marriage. After all, the Yun family is quite a powerful family. They would be a good pawn for us to use in our future plans.”

Nan Hao said with a laugh while waving a gold fan in his hand.

“Yes, my Lord. I understand.”

After that, Nan Hao looked down at the crowd and fixed his eyes on Mu Feng. He then asked: “How are the preparations going on?”

“Rest assured, my lord. I can assure you that absolutely nothing will go wrong.”

Duan Qian Mou said proudly.

“Good. As the saying goes, we must pull up the grass by its roots. We must make sure that there’s nobody left to seek revenge in the future!”

Nan Hao waved his golden fan and said calmly, but with a murderous intent.

Soon, it was the Mu family’s turn to take the test. The first to take the test was Mu Qing.

Mu Qing slit his palm and pressed down on the stone pillar. The stone pillar instantly started absorbing his blood, and the Yuan Wen started to light up one by one.

After a short while, a total of eight Yuan Wen were lit up.

“Mu Qing from the Mu Family, level eight Yuan Gu, qualified!”

A man shouted and recorded down his name.

“Huh, as expected of the second most talented disciple in our family, Mu Qing. He has a level Yuan Gu, which is the same as Shang Guan Qianzhi.”

“Nah, he’s not the second most talented anymore. He’s now the most talented, don’t you remember?”

One of the Mu disciples said as he glanced at Mu Feng. The other disciple realized what he meant and said with a laugh: “Oh yeah, he’s the number one most talented disciple now.”

The Mu disciples started chattering with each other. Some of them thought about Mu Feng and commented with a trace of sarcasm.

Meanwhile, Mu Qing proudly looked at Mu Feng and walked down the stage with a cold sneer.

“Next, Mu Kuang!”

“Level seven Yuan Gu, qualified!”

Mu Kuang was the second disciple to take the test. His test showed that he had a level seven Yuan Gu, which was quite amazing as well.

The rest of the Mu disciples walked up the stage to take their tests subsequently, and more than half of them turned out to be qualified. Finally, it was the last disciple’s turn — Mu Feng!

As soon it was Mu Feng’s turn, many people turned their heads and stared at him.

“Hey, look. It’s Mu Feng.”

“I heard that his Meta-pulses are all damaged and he’s now a cripple. I wonder if that’s true.”

“Well, let’s see. The truth will be revealed today.”

According to the news spread within the country, Mu Feng’s Meta-pulses were all damaged. Once he was a genius, but now, he had become a cripple. Most people already had a feeling that the news was true, but they still looked at Mu Feng with curiosity.

Being under the spotlight, Mu Feng took a deep breath and tried to maintain a calm expression.

He then walked towards the stone pillar, slit his palm with a dagger, and dripped his blood on it.

At this moment, the Yuan Wen started to turn sanguine as they lit up.

One Yuan Wen,

Two Yuan Wen,
