"…"
Cheng Yuan had never felt that his world had been so quiet.
The words "Feng Xiu" seemed to have taken away all the sound.
The smile on his face froze bit by bit, and he raised his head in a daze.
It was as if his entire body had been struck by lightning, and his brain had crashed.
"Why are you in a daze?" Feng Xiu put his hands behind his back and glanced at him. "Call me grandmaster."
This time, Cheng Yuan's legs really went soft.
With a plop, he knelt on the ground. "Sh-Sh-Sh-Shi …"
Cheng Yuan stuttered for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a complete form of address.
Ying Zijin's feet paused, and she pressed her head, slightly helpless. "You scared him."
Feng Xiu didn't have the slightest psychological burden and said slowly, "If I don't scare him, he'll think that he can be my martial uncle."
Junior sister?
His dream was quite good.
"G-G-Grandmaster!" Cheng Yuan finally called out. He wiped his sweat, still trembling. "Master, I swear, I definitely didn't mean that."
"Alright, I know you don't know." Feng Xiu helped him up. "Anyway, remember, you don't have a junior sister, you only have a grandmaster."
Cheng Yuan: "…"
It was so hurtful.
"I'm leaving first." Ying Zijin pressed the brim of her hat to block the sun. "I haven't been to the ground for a long time, let's go for a walk."
Feng Xiu glanced at Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan immediately understood and followed to escort her.
Xie Huanran was already dead. Other than Feng Xiu, Cheng Yuan's ancient martial arts cultivation was the highest.
He glanced at the building in front of him. "Grandmaster, are you going to the dungeon of the judicial hall?"
"Yes." Ying Zijin nodded. "Let's go take a look."
The top combat power of the Xie family had been killed.
Some people had committed crimes, but their crimes didn't warrant death, but other punishments were inevitable.
The judicial hall had always been fair.
Madam Xie was locked up in the dungeon.
Her eyes were lifeless, and she had long lost the demeanor of a noble lady.
When she saw the girl, Madam Xie's eyes finally focused.
She pounced in front of the iron bars, her eyes scarlet. "Ying Zijin! You're not dead! You're not dead! "
"Why is my Nian Nian dead, but you're not! Why?! "
"Xie Nian died because of her evil deeds." Cheng Yuan's expression turned cold. "She killed so many people. She deserved to die!"
Xie Nian had been tyrannical in the ancient martial world for many years, and the Liu family had been destroyed because of her.
"You killed so many people?" Madam Xie's eyes were filled with hatred. "How dare you compare the lives of a bunch of lowly commoners to my daughter?"
In the ancient martial arts world, strength was the most important thing. One spoke with their fists.
Those who had been killed by Xie Nian could only be said to be inferior.
"Your daughter's life is important, but other people's lives aren't?" Cheng Yuan sneered. "Madam Xie, you really have double standards."
He turned his head and swallowed the words' junior sister 'back into his throat in time. He lowered his voice and said, "Master-ancestor, I'll see you out. There's no need to let this kind of person ruin your mood."
Ying Zijin raised her hand. "Let me talk to her."
Although Cheng Yuan was puzzled, he also retreated to the side.
"What do you want to tell me?" Madam Xie's expression was contemptuous. "I already said that I won't talk to you. If you want to kill me, then kill me. In any case, my husband and daughter are both dead. There's no point in me living."
"Madam Xie, the Xie family's First Elder lied to you." Ying Zijin said indifferently. "Do you know why your son suddenly fell into a coma?"
At the mention of Xie Yu, Madam Xie's expression became even more ferocious. "My son fell into a coma because you refused to marry him!"
They had underestimated Ying Zijin, thinking that she was just an ancient doctor.
If they had killed Ying Zijin back then, how could the Xie family have fallen to such a state?
"Your Xie family has been in the ancient martial world for so many years. In every generation, there have been many people who have willfully killed the innocent." Ying Zijin lowered her head and chuckled. "Did you really think that there wouldn't be any retaliation?"
Madam Xie was stunned. "You … What do you mean?"
"His destiny is strong, and he's a rare ancient martial arts genius. Such a person is the best choice to block the disaster." Ying Zijin's voice was cold. "The sins of this generation of the Xie family have all been reaped on him."
"Your First Elder didn't lie about some things. If I marry Xie Yu, I can help him share some of the karma. When he suffers less, he will naturally wake up."
Ying Zijin played it down. "Let me think. Before Xie Yu, there were also innocent people who died tragically in your generation, right?"
"No … No, no, no!" Madam Xie's face was pale. She shook her head desperately, blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth. "I don't believe it … I don't believe it!"
"Of course, the First Elder of the Xie family has no right to decide who will block the disaster." Ying Zijin said. "Xie Yu was chosen by Xie Huanran."
"Do you know why Xie Huanran chose Xie Yu? Because Xie Nian complained to him before, saying that she didn't want Xie Yu to steal her title as a genius. "
"Madam Xie, this is the daughter that you doted on wholeheartedly."
Madam Xie was completely crushed by the truth.
"No! Ah — no, no! "Madam Xie screamed as if she had broken down." I don't believe it, I don't believe it! "
Ying Zijin straightened up and didn't look at Madam Xie. "Let's go."
Cheng Yuan was also shocked. "Did something like that really happen?"
"Yes." Ying Zijin said indifferently. "Before Xie Huanran died, he told me everything."
"How despicable." Cheng Yuan sucked in a breath. "I've seen Xie Yu before. He's really a genius, but he was harmed by Xie Nian just like that."
In the end, Xie Yu was the most innocent person in this matter.
In the records of the judicial hall, Xie Yu had never killed anyone. It didn't match the arrogant style of the Xie family.
He was a cultured and elegant gentleman.
"He was sent to the fifth ancestral home. Old Master Chuan is helping him recuperate." Ying Zijin said. "The Xie family is destroyed, and Xie Huanran is dead. The karma has been removed, so he might wake up."
Cheng Yuan nodded. "That's good news."
**
Ying Zijin left the dungeon and returned to the bedroom that Fu Yunshen had prepared for her.
She turned on the computer that Sinai had modified and successfully connected to the World City's network.
Without an internal access permit, the World City's network wouldn't be open to the seven continents and four oceans.
[Scanning pupils … …]
[Identity verification complete!]
[Welcome, dear junior student. The system has detected that you haven't chosen a department yet. Please choose the department you wish to join.]
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes and looked at the dozens of departments on the screen.
Sinai had used its authority to help her get a student spot in the research institute.
In the World City, the research institute was another major power apart from the Yu family and the Ryan family.
However, whether it was the Yu family or the Ryan family, they still needed to rely on the research institute.
After all, all the advanced technology in the World City was produced by the research institute.
Moreover, the research institute was directly under the Sage Institute.
Among them, there were two institutes with the highest status.
One was the Biology Institute and the other was the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute.
These two institutes supported the development of the entire World City's technology.
Her previous teacher, Simon Grande, came from the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute.
Ying Zijin's fingers tapped on the keyboard and she still chose the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute.
Although she was more interested in the Biology Institute, for the successful development of the Space Carrier project, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute could provide more help.
She had to admit that she still had a lot to learn about science and technology.
[Examination time: 24th July]
[Please take the exam on time.]
Ying Zijin clicked confirm, turned off the computer, put on her coat and left.
At the same time, in the World City, the research institute's admissions office.
With a "beep" sound, the floating 3D blue screen immediately sent in the new student's information.
The administrator looked up and almost spat out the water.
These days, even junior students had the courage to sign up for the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute's exam.
The administrator glanced at Ying Zijin's information.
19 years old.
As expected, newborn calves weren't afraid of tigers.
However, this junior student was quite good-looking.
The administrator took a sip of water and didn't look anymore. He raised his hand to close the window and opened a live broadcast.
In the live broadcast was a young woman who was assembling a new laser weapon invented by the research institute.
She was very popular and the bullet screen would float by from time to time. There were also many large gifts.
A tycoon threw 10 million yuan at once.
At the top of the live broadcast was the young woman's name.
Bi 'er Lineker.
Not to mention Bi 'er's extremely high ability, just the surname Lineker was enough to attract the other residents of the World City to watch her live broadcast.
The administrator was naturally no exception.
He was watching excitedly when his gaze suddenly paused.
Why did he feel that the junior student who signed up for the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Institute's exam looked a bit like Miss Bi 'er?
No, it should be that Miss Bi 'er looked like that junior student.
However, she didn't have 30% of the charm of that junior student.
It was like a low-level version.
It must be an illusion.
How could a junior student who hadn't officially entered the research institute compare to the Miss of the Lineker family?
Bi 'er Lineker was one of the rising stars of the research institute.
The administrator shook his head and suppressed his ridiculous thoughts and continued to watch the live broadcast.

Ancient Martial Arts World
With Xie Huanran's death, the dark clouds that shrouded the ancient martial arts world also dispersed.
However, in Xie Huanran's battle, the strength that Fu Yunshen and Ying Zijin displayed made the other ancient martial artists very afraid.
Xie Huanran had died, and these two people had appeared.
This was something that no one wanted to see.
Why should they, the ancient martial arts world, respect two outsiders?
Therefore, under the signal of the Lin family and the Yue family, a petition was handed to Feng Xiu.
A group of ancient martial artists also came to the Judicial Hall.
They knelt down in front of Feng Xiu.
"Senior Feng Xiu, this is our petition of ten thousand people." The leading ancient martial artist respectfully handed over a document. "Senior Feng Xiu, you may not know that these two people are not natives of the ancient martial arts world."
"Their existence has destroyed the balance of the ancient martial arts world."
"Senior Feng Xiu, please make the decision and expel them from the ancient martial arts world. In order to protect the ordinary people of the secular world, cripple their inner strength!"
Below were ten thousand names and bloody fingerprints.
All of them were pleading for Feng Xiu to get rid of the evil in the ancient martial arts world.
"Senior Feng Xiu, please get rid of these two people for the ancient martial arts world."
"Yes, Senior Feng Xiu, you haven't been back for long. You don't know how much damage these two outsiders have caused to the ancient martial arts world."
"They are so young and have high cultivation. They might be like the evil doctors in the ancient medical world and have taken some unorthodox path."
"We must get rid of them!"
As the ancestors of the Lin and Yue families, Lin Wuliang and Yue Qinghe did not speak.
However, these people's words were obviously incited by them.
Feng Xiu clenched the document tightly and suppressed his anger. He said calmly, "I can't make the decision on this matter."
The ancient martial arts world had indeed decayed to this extent.
When this sentence was said, the ancient martial artists fell silent.
If Feng Xiu could not make the decision, who else could?
Feng Xiu said again, "I need to ask my master to come."
“!!!”
Lin Wuliang and Yue Qinghe looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Feng Xiu had a master?
Who was his master?
Feng Xiu was already the number one ancient martial artist. What kind of existence was his master?
Moreover, they had never heard of Feng Xiu having a master.
Lin Wuliang and Yue Qinghe looked at each other for a while and said in unison, "Senior Feng Xiu, may I ask where your master is now?"
"He's eating. He'll be here soon." Feng Xiu threw the petition aside. "If you're not free, you can go down first."
Although Feng Xiu said so, who dared to go down?
Lin Wuliang and Yue Qinghe also sat upright and waited.
After waiting for a full hour, the door to the courtroom opened.
Everyone subconsciously looked back.
Everyone in the ancient martial arts world recognized that face.
The number one ancient doctor, Fu Xi.
Fu Xi was Feng Xiu's master?!
"Oh, my junior sister is here." Feng Xiu stood up and welcomed her. "Junior sister."
Fu Xi nodded slightly. "Senior brother."
Feng Xiu raised his hand. "Please."
The two of them went forward but did not sit at the top.
It was obvious who was left for.
Thirty minutes later, the door opened again.
