Xie Daoyun seemed to have some vague information appearing in her mind. She tried to explore it, but it was as if there was a layer of clouds that never dissipated on the top of a snow mountain between her divine sense and that information, and she could not see the contents at all.

She felt a sharp pain in her head, then her whole body swayed, and she became unsteady on her feet.

"Are you really alright?" Jiang Luofu hurriedly helped her up, noticing her icy hands and becoming very worried.

Ji Xiaoxi was also nearby at this time. She quickly checked her pulse and then took out a small white pill for her to take: "Sister Xie, this medicine is used to concentrate the mind and gather energy. Your spirit has been greatly depleted, so this medicine is just right to replenish it."

"Thank you, Xiao Xi." Xie Daoyun swallowed the pill and felt a cool sensation spread in her throat, which then flowed into her brain, making her feel much clearer.

She couldn't help but admire that Ji Xiaoxi had indeed inherited her father's true skills; her medical expertise was truly extraordinary.

"Don't use that move lightly again. Although it was very powerful, it was still too much for your current level of cultivation," Jiang Luofu reminded her with a frown.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle." Feeling the other party's concern, Xie Daoyun felt a warmth in her heart, but what had just happened was too strange, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Jiang Luofu laughed and said, "Just call me sister from now on. Calling me 'aunt' or something like that makes me sound old for no reason."

"But..." Xie Daoyun hesitated. The other party and her master were fellow disciples. If the people in the academy heard her calling her "sister," they would think she was disrespectful.

Jiang Luofu also saw her concerns: "From now on, we'll treat each other as we are. Call me 'Shishu' in the academy, and call me 'Sister' when we meet in private."

"Okay." Xie Daoyun's face flushed slightly. She also had a good impression of Jiang Luofu. Back when Jiang Luofu was the principal of Mingyue Academy, she took good care of her. Later, she did the same at the National Academy. She had always admired women like Jiang Luofu who lived freely and unrestrainedly.

"Then call me 'sister' and let me hear it." A smile appeared on Jiang Luofu's face.

"Sister," Xie Daoyun called out, still a little shyly.

"Oh, so good." Jiang Luofu pinched Xie Daoyun's cheek.

Ji Xiaoxi, who was standing to the side, was almost in tears: "Oh no, does that mean I have to call her 'Auntie' from now on?"

Originally, I was on equal footing with Xie Daoyun, but now that she has become my aunt's sister, I'm automatically a generation lower.

A smile appeared on Jiang Luofu's usually aloof face: "You can each talk your own thing, there's no need to worry about these things."

Xie Daoyun also held Ji Xiaoxi's hand, calling her "sister" repeatedly, which made Ji Xiaoxi stop crying and start smiling.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zuan, based on the intelligence he had received, decided to immediately go to the Yun family.

The head of the Soren family rushed over at this moment, first thanking Zuan solemnly, and then taking out the White Tiger Stone and handing it to Zuan: "Since that True Demon Envoy wants this item so much, I suppose it will have some magical effect after gathering the Four Symbols Stones. Regent, take this item with you, it might come in handy."

The Yun family patriarch's eyes widened, a thousand curses running through his mind. He knew that he had tried every trick in the book to get the White Tiger Stone, but they wouldn't give it to him. In the end, he joined forces with the other two families to fight each other, resulting in so many deaths. And now, they were giving it to Zu'an without batting an eye!

Zuan did not refuse; he was also eager to know what secrets the Four Symbols Stone held.

Upon closer inspection, the stone was about the size of a jade disc, with the image of a white tiger on it. However, it was not carved or painted on; rather, the texture seemed to have formed naturally on the stone.

It's impossible to tell what material this Four Symbols Stone is made of. It feels icy cold all over and exudes a fierce and menacing aura, which is probably emanating from the White Tiger symbol on it.

"This thing is indeed amazing..." Zuan sighed inwardly.

Just then, the voice of the head of the Soren family rang out again: "By the way, the True Demon Envoy is also asking the four families to provide Holy Maidens. It seems that these Holy Maidens should also have their specific roles. Shi'er is the Holy Maiden whom the Soren family has high hopes for. She will also go to the Yun family with the Regent this time and be ready to follow the Regent's orders at any time."

The other three family heads immediately turned to look at him. At first, they thought Soren Xing was a stubborn and reckless fellow, but now they saw that he was indeed very cunning.

This isn't helping the Regent at all; it's clearly giving away a daughter, creating opportunities for her to spend time with him. With Soren Shi's looks and intelligence, winning the Regent's favor shouldn't be too difficult.

Sorenshi was always intelligent, and she immediately understood her father's intention. Her pretty face turned bright red. Of course, she was willing to serve the Regent, but in front of so many people, her girlish reserve made her a little embarrassed to agree.

Fortunately, Zuan nodded at this moment: "Alright, let her go to the Yun family with us. I want to see what that True Demon Envoy is up to."

Hearing his words, Sorenshi breathed a sigh of relief: "I am willing to serve the Regent with utmost loyalty!"

At this point, the other parties naturally couldn't say anything, and the matter was settled.

Soren stayed behind to clean up the mess, while Zuan led the other three family heads onto a flying boat and headed towards the Yun family.

After boarding the flying ship, the Rong family head and the Wu family head were full of praise, and at the same time secretly marveled at how powerful the human race was, as they could always invent all sorts of outrageous things.

Zu'an then interrogated the Yun family head. Since things had come to this point, the other party had resigned himself to his fate and answered almost every question, only hoping to save his life.

"By the way, what exactly is going on with your Yun family's Holy Maiden?" After what happened with Soren Shi, Zu'an suddenly remembered something.

Yun Yuqing was equally curious about where the Yun family had found such a perfect candidate for saintly woman.

The Yun family patriarch replied, "The other party is indeed of Yun family blood, and there is even some connection between them and Yuqing."

"Some connection with me?" Yun Yuqing's first thought was Yun Jianyue, but she immediately dismissed the guess, as the other party had just had a long talk with her in the capital a few days ago, so the timing didn't match up.

"She is your aunt's daughter." The head of the Yun family sighed, his tone tinged with regret.

"Aunt!" Yun Yuqing's expression changed drastically.

“That’s right. Speaking of which, your aunt and your father were alike. They were both willful and reckless back then. Your father was a womanizer, and your aunt was also obsessed with love.” The head of the Yun family still seemed a little resentful when he talked about this. “In the end, your aunt went to the human world and fell in love with a human. She even had a child with that human. Unfortunately, she met the wrong person and her fate was tragic.”

The Yun family patriarch's face revealed a hint of mockery: "If she had married the man arranged by the family back then, she would probably be a high-ranking figure in the entire demon race now. In the end, she lost her life because of a fleeting love. It's ridiculous!"

Yun Yuqing was still sighing over her aunt's fate when Zu An asked with a strange expression, "Your Yun family's Holy Maiden wouldn't be surnamed Pei, would she?"

"How did you know?" The Yun family head was somewhat surprised. "Her real name is Pei Mianman, but we changed her surname to Yun for the public, since the Holy Maiden is generally considered to be of various bloodlines."
