Jun Tianlan sighed and said, "Yue'er, from now on, the Jun family will depend on you. There are some things that should be given to you."

Jun Tianlan took out a token and handed it to Liu Yue. The token was engraved with the two characters "Xuanwu".

This is the tiger tally of the Xuanwu Army.

“Grandpa.” Liu Yue looked up in surprise. Only each head of the family was qualified to possess the Tiger Tally of the Xuanwu Army.

"You won the last family competition, and you will be the next head of the family, girl."

"But……"

"Girl, are you trying to say that you're just a woman?" Jun Tianlan said with a smile, "So what if you're a woman? You're no less than anyone else! You're certainly qualified to be the head of the Jun family!"

"There is also this item, called the Azure Arrow. The Azure Arrow can summon all the Xuanwu Army to your service in a short time, but it must never be used unless absolutely necessary."

"Um."

Holding the Azure Arrow tightly in her hand, Jun Liuyue, who had seen many magical artifacts in her previous life, had never felt anything so heavy.

——

The news that Jun Wuchen was not dead spread throughout the streets and alleys, and Mu Shen's crimes were also made public. Although this matter had nothing to do with the Mu family, Mu Shen was a member of the Mu family, and the Mu family was also greatly affected.

"I never imagined that it was Mu Shen who harmed the young general back then."

"How hateful!"

"Mu Shen, as the Imperial Advisor, wields absolute power and persecutes loyal ministers; he is truly despicable! Such a person should be executed immediately."

If it weren't for the Jun family, how could Tianyan have such peaceful days? Therefore, the Jun family holds a high position in the hearts of the people.

They even surpassed the imperial family, which is why Emperor Sikong was wary of the Jun family.

Emperor Sikong intended to suppress the matter, but someone leaked it before he could.

This has caused widespread anger among the people. If the Emperor does not provide a reasonable solution at this time, he may lose the support of the people.

Emperor Sikong originally intended to protect Mu Shen, after all, Mu Shen was an alchemist, but—

If Mu Shen is saved, it will be difficult to explain to the Jun family.

Therefore, the Emperor Sikong issued an order to execute Mu Shen to appease the Jun family.

Emperor Sikong rubbed his temples; too many things had happened recently.

The Jun family, which had been suppressed to the point of near decline, suddenly seemed to have received some kind of lucky break and turned the tide.

On the other hand, the Mu family, having suffered a devastating blow due to the theft of their warehouse and the death of Mu Shen, is in a state of utter despair.

Sikong rubbed his temples. The changes in the Jun family gave him a feeling of being out of control. In addition, the Jun family was now popular with the people. If Jun Tianlan had any rebellious thoughts at this time...

It is extremely difficult.

It seems... I have no choice but to turn to that person for help.

...

Soon the day of the grand family competition arrived.

"I heard that Luo Yishui is representing the Mu family in the competition. Isn't Luo Yishui a member of the Jun family?"

"You don't know this, but Luo Yishui has recognized Mu Chengxiang as her godfather. Now she is the Mu family's adopted daughter, and everyone in the Mu family treats her like a young lady."

"I've heard that Luo Yishui has the talent of an alchemist, and also possesses the soul of a phoenix beast. I believe that no family could refuse such a talent, right?"

"But the Mu family and the Jun family have always been at odds. She left the Jun family and immediately became the Mu family's adopted daughter. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"What are you talking about! It must be that the Jun family treated Yishui badly, otherwise why would Yishui leave the Jun family?"

"That's right, I don't know what General Jun was thinking. He ignored a genius like Luo Yishui and poured all his resources into Jun Liuyue."

Some people expressed their indignation on behalf of Luo Yishui.

Luo Yishui is now a well-known genius girl in Tianyan.

"I've also heard that the girl from Yishui has already become a disciple of Elder Chizun of the Divine Soul Hall."

"The Crimson Lord of the Divine Soul Palace?"

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this; that was the Divine Soul Palace!

Even the Emperor of Tianyan had to treat Chizun with utmost respect.

The crowd looked at Luo Yishui with more envy and admiration.

"As expected of the most talented girl in our Tianyan!"

Luo Yishui took in all these discussions and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Her talent is far beyond what a mere Jun Liuyue can compare to!

In the crowd.

"Is that Luo Yishui the girl you saw?"

Su Xue nudged Gu Feng's shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. That girl wore an incredibly ugly mask that day. How could I possibly recognize her now?" Gu Feng pursed his lips and looked at Luo Yishui. "But this girl does look somewhat familiar."

I feel like I've seen it before, but I can't remember where.

Gu Feng stroked his chin and muttered, "But why does this person seem so annoying?"

"Keep your voice down." Su Xue stepped on his foot.

Gu Feng: "Senior sister! It hurts so much!"

This woman is too fierce; she'll never be able to get married.

On stage, Luo Yishui was surrounded by admirers.

At that moment, a figure in crimson appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is so beautiful!"

Sighs rippled through the crowd.

"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful."

"How come I've never seen this before?"

"Yes, could he be a newcomer from some family?"

"Are you blind? Isn't that Jun Liuyue, that good-for-nothing?"

Someone recognized Jun Liuyue and took several glances before confirming it.

"That good-for-nothing from the Jun family?!" Everyone was shocked.

The moment Jun Liuyue appeared, Luo Yishui instantly lost all attention, and everyone looked in Jun Liuyue's direction.
