"Niece Nangong, please sit." Zhao Huan nodded and asked the servants to bring a chair.
"Father, mother, Zhining's Arctic Phoenix bloodline has been confirmed. This is a letter from the Sword-Bearing Elder. He wants to take Zhining as his disciple and let her go to the Tiangang Sword Sect to receive better training and awaken the Arctic Phoenix bloodline."
Ye Zhining really did have the Arctic Phoenix bloodline.
Zhou Xianxian's words caused a commotion. Ye Zhining was overjoyed. Her eyes flashed again, and this sharpness was naturally directed at Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang stood on the stage, thinking about why Zhou Qianxian would come back today. It was impossible to say that it was a coincidence, so there was only one explanation. Zhao Huan already knew that the examination would be held today, so she asked Zhou Qianxian to bring the Sword-Bearing Elder's letter just in case.
But Zhou Zhantian's sudden return was not even known to First Madam, so how did Zhao Huan know?
Zhao Huan's people were in the army!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang was even more worried about his father. All the signs showed that Zhao Huan's goal was not just to be the master of the backyard.
"If that's the case, then let Zhining go to the Tiangang Sword Sect." Zhou Zhantian only nodded.
"Thank you, Master." Ye Zhining immediately knelt on the ground and went to Zhou Xianxian's side.
Zhou Xianxian looked back at Ye Zhining and said, "Zhining, I know what happened between you and Zhou Yang. I also feel that you have been wronged today. Don't worry, we grew up together. I will make the decision for you."

With that, Zhou Xianxian flew onto the stage and looked at Zhou Yang, ignoring Zhou Zhantian's presence.
"Zhou Yang, watch carefully."
Zhou Xianxian pulled out her sword and swung it three times in the air. Each swing produced a large amount of cold air. In the end, the cold air gathered into a sword-wielding iceman.
After the iceman appeared, it rushed toward Zhou Yang. The ground in its path turned into ice …
"Hiss!"
An ear-piercing roar came from the iceman's mouth. It only disappeared when the iceman reached Zhou Yang.
"Kacha!"
The entire stage broke into pieces.
"Qi Manifestation, the genius of the Tiangang Sword Sect is indeed worthy of her reputation." Elder Du said gloatingly.
Zhen Qi Manifestation was an extremely high level of Zhen Qi utilization. Some people could never reach such a level in their entire lives, but Zhou Xianxian had achieved it before the age of 20.
"Zhou Yang, the world is far bigger than you think. A small county city is not suitable for a real genius. Today, I showed you mercy because I hope you understand that there will always be someone stronger than you. It's better to restrain yourself." With that, Zhou Xianxian turned around and walked off the stage.
"I will remember that. We will meet again in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect." Zhou Yang's voice was very cold, as though it was colder than the ice on the ground.
Zhou Qianqian didn't reply, she only looked at Zhou Zhan Tian and said, "Father, mother, the Sword-Bearing Elder is waiting to see Zhining, we must return immediately."
Zhou Qianxian seemed to be asking a question, but in reality, it was just a greeting. Without waiting for Zhou Zhan Tian to reply, she took Ye Zhining's hand and left.
"Zhou Yang, our battle isn't over yet. Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect, I'll fight you to the death!"
Ye Zhining's words before she left caused the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena to become gloomy.
Between fellow clansmen, they actually wanted to fight to the death.
This caused Zhou Zhan Tian's expression to turn ugly.
"Report …"
A drawn-out voice came from outside the martial arts arena, pulling Zhou Zhan Tian's thoughts away. A warrior passed through the layers of guards and arrived before Zhou Zhan Tian with a black iron scroll in his hand.
"General, Border City is in an emergency!"
Border City was in an emergency!
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Border City was one of the eight cities in Jiangnan County, and also the southern gateway to Dragonwu Country. It faced the Nanman Kingdom's Wangbei City in the north and south.
Zhou Yang knew very well that Zhou Zhan Tian had been guarding the southern border, which was the wilderness outside Border City. But now, the Nanman Kingdom had actually crossed the wilderness and arrived at Border City.
And this was under the circumstance that Zhou Zhan Tian had only been away for a few days.
Everyone felt that something was wrong. Tang Zhenghe immediately stood up and said, "General Zhou, I must report this matter to the Imperial City. I hope that you can recover the wilderness before the Imperial City punishes you."
Zhou Zhan Tian nodded. He knew the importance of Border City. If he lost Border City, not only would he not be able to escape death, more importantly, the county capital would also be in danger. He could not help but turn to look at First Madam and Su Ruohan.
"Madam, Ruohan, I'll leave the matters of the family to you. If there are any problems, you can ask General Guo for help. Brother Guo and I are like brothers and will definitely help you."
"Husband, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Zhao Huan hurriedly interjected, "Eldest Sister has not been involved in the family's affairs for many years, so it is not appropriate for her to be in charge. Furthermore, Fifth Sister's appearance … you know that she cannot even meet outsiders, how can she manage the Zhou Family?"
Hearing this, even Zhou Zhan Tian frowned. He had intended to leave the family matters to First Madam's faction, but Zhao Huan's words made him unable to refute.
"Second Sister, you don't have to worry about this. I will naturally be able to meet others."
Su Ruohan did not stand on ceremony. She stood up and walked to Zhou Zhan Tian, removing her veil.
Zhou Zhan Tian could not help but be startled when he saw the face beneath the veil that resembled a young girl's.
"Han Er, you … you've recovered your appearance?" Zhou Zhan Tian asked in surprise.
Su Ruohan nodded and looked lovingly at Zhou Yang before saying, "It is because Yang 'er found a beauty pill that he can take off his veil."
"Good, I've given birth to a good son." Zhou Zhan Tian was overjoyed. He looked coldly at Zhao Huan and said, "Huan 'er, you must be tired, rest well. Let Han' er and Madam handle the matters of the family."
Zhao Huan's expression was extremely ugly. Although Zhou Xian Xian's arrival allowed him to win a round, it only made his loss look slightly better. In the end, the Zhou Family's power still fell into Su Ruohan's hands.
Zhou Yang …
Looking at the determined face on the stage, Zhao Huan suddenly felt a sense of jealousy.
"I hereby announce that the champion of today's examination is Zhou Yang!" Guo Zhan Xiong roared and the drums sounded.
When the drums stopped, Zhou Zhan Tian walked onto the stage. "I know you have many complaints in your heart, but … this is the world of martial artists."
This is the world of martial artists!
Zhou Yang felt his whole body tremble. That was the only thing left in his mind.
Indeed, he had many questions he wanted to ask this man, but now he realized that this overbearing father in front of him actually knew better than anyone else what he wanted to say.
"Arrowhead!" Zhou Zhan Tian shouted coldly.
"Your subordinate is here." A warrior dressed in black armor knelt before the stage.
"From today onwards, you and your three hundred subordinates will follow my seventh son. Zhou Yang will no longer be my personal guard."
"This … General …" The soldier named Arrowhead was obviously unwilling.
"You want to disobey?" Zhou Zhan Tian's voice was calm, but Arrowhead's body trembled. After a while, he nodded, "Your subordinate obeys."
Three hundred Blood Wolf Guards!
