The fat man laughed heartily, "Haha, your sister is absolutely adorable!"

Gu Liyan smiled happily and ruffled Yan Moxue's hair. "Yes, she's always been adorable!"

Yan Muxue looked into Gu Liyan's eyes, and her face immediately turned red. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so she didn't embarrass herself.

As the three were chatting, Mo Chen caught up and whispered in Gu Liyan's ear, "My lord, I was ordered to tell you that he has left first. If fate allows, we will meet again."

Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "What? He's gone?"

Gu Liyan looked back, but Mingyou was already gone. Gu Liyan felt a pang of regret: I was so stupid! Why didn't I ask him where the mask came from earlier? Maybe I could have found some clues!

Gu Liyan introduced Mo Chen and the fat man to each other, and after chatting for a while, just as it was about to be their turn, an unexpected incident occurred...

Not far ahead, a spirit stone flashed with a blue light, and then the words "Fourth Grade" were engraved on it.

Everyone gasped in surprise and immediately made way for a magnificently dressed man who stood there smugly, coldly surveying the crowd with an air of superiority. He began to speak:

"Did you see that? A fourth-rank prince! I am far superior to you!"

As she spoke, she coldly looked at the lean man beside her and said smugly, "Don't talk about who's stronger or weaker. Just the difference in our social status is enough to tell you that my future is promising, while you are ultimately inferior to me!"

The lean man clenched his fists and glared at the other man with resentment. Gu Liyan noticed that the man was wearing a name tag with the word "Fifth Class" engraved on his chest.

The lean man thought he could escape his servant status and the richly dressed man in the Nine Netherworlds, but who knew...

Ultimately, they are still inferior to others!

The man in fine clothes now had a blue "Fourth Class" badge on his chest. He sneered, "My good brother, you didn't expect this, did you? You tricked me into going to the Nine Netherworlds where I can't return to the mainland, but you still haven't shaken off your status as my dog!"

The lean man rushed forward angrily, wanting to fight the man in fine clothes to the death, but the man in fine clothes coldly snorted, "Kneel down!"

The lean man immediately knelt down with a "plop".

"Ah!" The lean man trembled with pain, but gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the man in fine clothes.

"Haha, a stray dog ​​is a stray dog. You'll never be able to climb over me!" the man in fine clothes said smugly, kicking the skinny man in the face and then stomping on him.

Seeing how the richly dressed man treated the lean man, Mo Chen was immediately enraged and rushed forward, shouting, "This is your own brother! Why are you treating him like this!"

Seeing someone plead for the lean man, the richly dressed man narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Where did this trash come from, daring to speak to me like that!"

Gu Liyan couldn't stop Mo Chen in time, so he could only follow to prevent him from acting recklessly. Yan Muxue, seeing Gu Liyan follow, naturally followed as well.

The three men stood in a row, their imposing presence immediately making the richly dressed man breathless, and he promptly released his foot.

Mo Chen went up and helped the thin man up, coldly saying, "You have a truly cruel heart, treating your own brother like this!"

"Hmph, just a servant! He tried to harm me, so I'll get my revenge!" The man in fine clothes squinted at the lean man.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Liyan frowned and said, "Brother, as the saying goes, brothers are like limbs. If you treat your limbs like this, you might be punished by heaven, right?"

“Exactly! A despicable guy like you deserves to be struck by lightning!” Yan Muxue said, pointing at the man in fine clothes.

Upon hearing this, the richly dressed man coldly retorted, "Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me! I am a fourth-rank marquis, how dare you lowly bastards lecture me? Kneel down before me!"

At a command, the lean man, who was ranked fifth, knelt down once again. Also kneeling on the ground were the people wearing black cloaks around him, as well as most of those who had failed the test.

Seeing the thin man kneeling pitifully on the ground, the richly dressed man laughed unrestrainedly, "A servant is a servant, nothing more than a dog!"

He simply looked up and saw Gu Liyan, Mo Chen, Yan Muxue, and even the four obese men who moved slowly due to their bloated figures, all standing straight and staring at him as if he were an idiot. "You, how come you all..."

Yan Muxue said irritably, "This idiot dares to call himself 'this king'? I'm already being lenient by not making him kneel down, and he still dares to make me kneel down to him! He's shameless!"

Mo Chen looked coldly at the man in fine clothes and said righteously, "Those who kill their own brothers do not deserve my respect!"

The fat man rubbed his bulging belly and chuckled, "Fatty, I'm not feeling well, hehe, not feeling well!"

Gu Liyan sighed helplessly, "Alas, no matter how superior they are, they are ultimately just bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong!"

"You, you actually dare to commit insubordination, you..." The man in fine clothes suddenly realized a serious problem, pointing at Gu Liyan but unable to speak.

"Everyone, please stand up. There's no need to kowtow to someone like this," Gu Liyan said to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt the pressure on them vanish, and they all stood up, looking at Gu Liyan with gratitude.

The lean man stared blankly at Gu Liyan, lost in thought.

Gu Liyan said to Mo Chen and the other two, "Let's finish the assessment quickly and go inside to find a place to rest!"

Yan Muxue nodded repeatedly. She was exhausted after searching for the way for almost a whole day!
