When Shu Jianyue returned to Qionglai Peak, she saw Chong Jiu still sitting in the same spot, holding an ancient book and reading it.

"Did you inform my master and Yu'er and Xixi?" she said, trying to sit down next to him.

Chong Jiu wrapped his long arm around her and pulled her into his arms. "It's just a matter of sending a message."

"Master said he's not going back. You can go and visit the Hunyuan Immortal Sect."

"Yu'er will be back soon. Xi Xi and Wu Yan are behind him."

Shu Jianyue nodded, "Then let's pack up and set off as soon as Yu'er returns."

Chong Jiu hugged her tightly as she tried to leave, saying, "What's there to pack? We can leave anytime. As for Yu Chuan, let him run wild here. We can take him with us when we go to Sihai."

Shu Jianyue glared at him, broke free from his arm, and went back to her room to pack.

Chong Jiu had no choice but to get up and follow.

Shu Jianyue had just finished tidying up when someone came looking for her.

Looking at Hu Yang in front of her, Shu Jianyue asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Elder Hu?"

Hu Yang immediately said, "The dean sent me here, saying that you should go there as soon as possible."

Seeing his anxious expression, Shu Jianyue couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Hu Yang shook his head. "I only know that two Venerable Ones from all over the world came to see the Dean just now. I don't know the specifics of what happened."

"Okay, I'll go over there." After saying that, Shu Jianyue teleported towards Gu Pingsheng's peak.

Chong Jiu glanced at Hu Yang and immediately followed.

Hu Yang was a step behind, but he still rushed over there.

When Shu Jianyue arrived at the summit, the situation was already tense.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Jianyue landed directly next to Gu Pingsheng and looked at the newcomer.

Upon seeing this, he raised his eyebrows.

Du Yinyi's eyes lit up when he saw Shu Jianyue. "Miss, we meet again. What a coincidence!"

Ha, I'm dog poop.

Shu Jianyue ignored him and looked at Gu Pingsheng instead, "What's wrong?"

Gu Pingsheng gestured with his chin toward Du Yinyi and said, "He is the young master of the Du family of the Four Seas. He said he came to retrieve the Investiture of the Gods on his father's orders."

"The Investiture of the Gods is our academy's most prized treasure, yet they talk about it as if it belongs to the Du family."

The Investiture of the Gods?

The foreigners came before also for the Investiture of the Gods, but Chongjiu said it was just a register of names, so why were they all eyeing it?

That's true. For those who lack the strength to rely on support, the roster is indeed a good thing.

Even Gou Yang, who came from the Holy Spirit Domain, didn't dare to blatantly rob like the Du family.

"So shameless?" Shu Jianyue looked at Du Yinyi in surprise.

Chong Jiu landed beside her, looked at Du Yinyi, and said coldly, "If you look again, I'll gouge out your eyes."

Then she turned to Shu Jianyue and complained, "How come you met such a softie in just a short time?"

Shu Jianyue shrugged slightly, denying it; she didn't know him.

Du Yinyi's attendant immediately tugged at his sleeve to remind him.

Du Yinyi turned and glared at the servant, then looked away and said to Gu Pingsheng, "Don't push your luck. With the strength of our Du family, we can easily shut down this so-called academy."

"You'd better hand over the Investiture of the Gods honestly, or you'll regret it and there will be no cure."

"Ha, that's impressive!" Shu Jianyue sneered.

He looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "Do you know the Du family of Sihai?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "I don't know, just a tiny ant."

"You...you have such audacity to slander our Du family like this!" Du Yinyi was so angry that his hand trembled as he pointed at Chong Jiu.

Shu Jianyue looked at the hand and said coldly, "If you point again, I won't hesitate to cut it off for you."

"You're just a small family. Who gave you the audacity to come here and steal?"

Du Yinyi felt as if a knife was held to his hand, and his arm felt cold.

I instinctively pulled my hand back.

When he finally realized what was happening, his face turned red with embarrassment.

He wondered to himself how he had been fooled by her.

“Our Du family is a second-level family in the Four Seas, while you are nothing but ants in the Eight Desolations. What are you so arrogant about?”

Then he glared at Gu Pingsheng and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hand it over now, or don't blame us for being impolite."

"Oh, how exactly are you being impolite? Let me see." Shu Jianyue crossed her arms and leaned against Zhong Jiu.

Du Yinyi was annoyed by her interrupting him time and time again. He frowned and looked at her, saying lightly, "Don't think that just because I like you, you can do whatever you want. This is none of your business. Go away."

“Say it again.” Chong Jiu looked at him coldly.

Du Yinyi felt a chill run through his body, and a sense of unease crept into his heart. What was wrong with him today? Why did he feel a chill surrounding him?

"What's it to you?" Du Yinyi glared at Chong Jiu with her neck stiff.

Chong Jiu raised his hand and slapped the person, knocking them face down on the small square in front of Shengding Peak.

"She is my wife, so tell me whether it has anything to do with me or not."

Du Yinyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, "cough..."

My dad didn't say that there were such amazing people at Shengshi Academy!

He, with his cultivation at the first level of the Integration Realm, was completely powerless to resist!

The servant quickly helped him up and gave him a pill. "Young Master, we shouldn't provoke unnecessary people. Our priority should be obtaining the Investiture of the Gods."

"Get lost! Do you think I don't know? Didn't you see that it was that woman talking the whole time?" Du Yinyi was feeling better and flung the servant away.

"Whether you give me the seal book or not is up to me today. If it were my father, things wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

Shu Jianyue laughed, "Then it would be best if your father came, otherwise I'm afraid I'll beat you to death here and no one will collect your body."

"If you want the Investiture of the Gods, you'll have to see if you have the ability."

"Dean, keep a close eye on this. From now on, no matter where these bastards come from, beat them one by one, or two by two. Don't let them think they're so great."

"They won't learn their lesson if we don't beat them, so let's beat them until they learn their lesson."

Gu Pingsheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, I understand."

Shu Jianyue looked at Du Yinyi's useless appearance. It was just an ordinary palm strike, yet he was so weak. Was he sent here to be delivered to the enemy?

But she didn't know that Chong Jiu had used half of his strength. With half of his strength, it was quite impressive that Du Yinyi hadn't died.

Du Yinyi glanced at Chong Jiu with apprehension. "Who are you people? This is a matter for Shengshi Academy. What does it have to do with you?"

Shu Jianyue smiled and said, "Then I'm sorry, I am an elder of Shengshi Academy, so it really does concern me."

Du Yinyi felt like he was going to vomit blood, and he actually did; the residual power of that palm strike was truly formidable.

"You wait here." That was all he could say before leaving with his servants.
