Finally, Bai Miaoran had turned enough and put Gu Lingyan down.

"Honestly, this gift is very good and I like it very much. Thank you, Yan'er, Lingfeng. From now on, when you are in Wushuang City, I will protect you. If anyone bullies you, just tell me my name." Duanmu Qianyin directly announced that she would protect the two siblings.

"Me too. Just tell us our names. Not many people in Wushuang City dare to mess with us, so we should be able to protect you. If you need help, you can come to us."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you. Keep your things away and don't tell anyone." Gu Lingfeng reminded.

"Understood, this is our secret."

"But you just came back from the Spirit Liquid Pool, so there's no need to rush to use it. It won't affect your holding it. You can keep it for use in a critical moment. Just pay attention to the timing of using it." Gu Lingfeng still mentioned it.

"Don't worry, we know what to do."

"However, speaking of your promotion today, I find it very strange. Those people seemed to be heading in the direction of your promotion with a purpose." Xuan Shuichen still felt something was wrong.

"Ah! Hearing you put it that way, I feel the same way."

"Yeah, you also feel something is wrong." Xuan Shuichen became excited when he heard Duanmu Huaiyi's reply.

"Look! They were originally standing there watching Ling Feng advance, but for some reason they just kept moving forward."

"Fortunately, I was quick-eyed and stopped him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Yes, yes, thanks to our Shui Chen." Gu Lingfeng replied insincerely.

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Don't worry, leave it to me." Duanmu Qianyin immediately took on the job.

After all, Yuncheng is quite close to Wushuang City. Their forces can reach here, and it is much more convenient for them to act.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Qianyin."

"This matter must be handled properly for you."

"Sister Qianyin, I have a suspect."

"Oh? Tell me about it, it might give me some direction."

"Do you still remember Shen Changmu? When I came out of the Spiritual Liquid Pool, you found out that I was already a Great Spiritual Master of the Third Stage.

I felt a pair of sinister eyes staring at me, and when I turned around, it was him. Plus, after the secret realm assessment, my ranking was higher than his, so he might be jealous.

"If it's Chen Changmu, the possibility is very high." Duanmu Qianyin agreed with Gu Lingyan's words.

"How do you say it?"

"Let's put it this way. Wushuang City has five super families, four first-rate families, ten second-rate families, several third-rate families, and countless small families. You can imagine how fierce the competition is in the Wushuang Empire."

"And Shen Changmu is the eldest son of the Shen family, one of the five super families. He is jealous of those who are better than him. From what I have heard, he has ruined dozens of outstanding talents. He has secretly ruined talents from various forces. He even used tricks to destroy talents from first-class families. Now you understand."

"I understand. However, Sister Qianyin, can you tell us about the power of Wushuang City?" Gu Lingyan said with a smile.

Duanmu Qianyin and Duanmu Huaiyi were very surprised by Gu Lingyan's words.

"Are you from outside?"

"Yes, we are from a small country."

"That's not right!"

"It's impossible for someone from a small country to have your talent."

"Oh! Sister Qianyin, just don't worry about it and tell me quickly!" Gu Lingyan used her unique trick and acted coquettishly.

I have to say, this is still very effective.

Duanmu Qianyin said: She benefited a lot.

But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore, because Gu Lingfeng kept oppressing her with his eyes, and Gu Lingfeng was one level higher than her.

Duanmu Qianyin: Brother, don’t look at me like that, I’m scared.

Gu Lingfeng: My sister rarely acts coquettishly with me, you are so lucky.

Then, Gu Lingyan felt his brother's resentful gaze.

"Okay, okay, I'll satisfy your request, beautiful girl."

"The five super families in Wushuang City are ranked by strength as Shangguan, Miao, Shen, Song, and Liu. I can only say that the ancestors of these five super families are at least high-level Spiritual Emperors. Their ancestors have existed for a long time and have been in seclusion, only coming out when the family's survival is at stake."

"The four first-class families, ranked by strength, are the Qin family, the Gu family, the Situ family, and the Tang family."

"As for our Duanmu family, as a royal family, how can we be inferior? Our overall strength is stronger than any of the five great families, so if you face one of them, don't be afraid, come to me."

"Puchi, then Sister Qianyin, I'm determined to hold you as my thigh, so please don't look down on me."

"How could that be? Our Yan'er is so cute, I can't bear to let her go!"

"Alright, alright, stop bragging to each other. It's making me so embarrassed."

Gu Lingyan grumbled, "...You really are. I finally get to praise someone."

"That's right, can't you just make me happy?" Duanmu Qianyin also expressed his dissatisfaction.

"It's my fault, you guys continue, continue." Bai Miaoran said with a smile.

"Among these five super families, the Shen family is the most arrogant and domineering. They can't stand others suppressing them more forcefully than they do. Those small families are suffering even more."

"Then no one cares?"

"Control? How can we control it? Their family tradition is like this. There is no way to do anything about it. Moreover, those small families will also take their positions and rely on the five major families to survive, including the first-rate families. They are all flattering their stinky feet." Duanmu Qianyin said with disdain.

"Wouldn't the five major families be even more powerful, and your Duanmu family would be in danger?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Our ancestor is very powerful, and there are many powerful elders. We are not afraid of them. Besides, what do you think of Huai Yi and my talents?"

"A gifted genius." Gu Lingyan gave a four-character evaluation.

"So do you think there are only two geniuses in our family? That's definitely not the case. Let me tell you a secret, all the talented people in our family are secretly trained. This is our family's secret weapon, and you are not allowed to tell anyone."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone." Gu Lingyan quickly agreed.

Duanmu Huaiyi, who was standing next to him, was speechless after hearing this. He had almost emptied the family's savings. He was just saying everything and telling her secretly. Everyone present heard it.

Others: You are so reliable to tell us this secret.

"So these five great families will definitely not be able to surpass us within 500 years."

"Let's get back to the point. You should definitely not mess with the Shen family. They are a bunch of mad dogs that bite whoever they catch. However, there are still many people from small families who rely on them."

I understand that the Shen family is powerful, so it would be abnormal if no one relies on them.

"The chosen ones of these five super families are all in Yuntian Academy, you have to be careful."
