The cultivation world, home to ancient merchant families, faces the exhaustion of spiritual energy, the collapse of planes, and impending destruction. Powerful beings tear through the void, seeking...
The Xiaoyao Sect is closing for registration on the last day.
The square was still bustling with people, and this recruitment drive had successfully recruited several talented disciples.
Therefore, Jiang Wanwan was quite satisfied.
She had no expectations for the last day of registration, so she simply returned to the Cloud Mist Pavilion to meditate and cultivate.
My cultivation has stagnated for a long time, and it's time to make a further progress. Otherwise, those two strange guests will be loitering around the sect every day, and seeing that my cultivation is only at the Lesser Golden Core stage, they might have some ideas.
Actually, Jiang Wanwan was completely overthinking it!
Bai Luo was diligently leading An Nan to line up for the test in the square, while Ming Ze was waiting expectantly at the dock in Yangjia Village for his destined one.
Neither of them had any intention of causing trouble!
In the square, long queues formed beneath both spirit-testing platforms.
Everyone in line hoped to have their spiritual root tested. Although one could still cultivate the body even without a spiritual root, physical cultivation also required talent and perseverance.
Annan was talking to Bai Luo with great interest when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.
They turned around and saw a young man with slicked-back hair shoving aside the people in front of him amidst the crowd's complaints and walking straight toward them.
"Hey! Kid, don't you know what first come, first served?" someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Ha! My sister is in line for me! Idiot!" the young man replied disdainfully, his eyes filled with arrogance and contempt.
Annan's eyes flashed with disgust, then he said to Bai Luo, "Don't say a word later!"
"Sister! That's great! I thought it looked just like you from afar!" Anshan's face was beaming with joy, but a subtle calculation was hidden deep in his eyes.
Annan stood there with his arms crossed, his face cold and indifferent, his eyes revealing obvious disgust.
She said without any attempt to hide her feelings, "I don't have a brother like you who has taken over my place. We agreed to cut ties completely, so don't try to associate with me again."
It turns out that Anshan is not the biological child of the An family; Annan is the true daughter of the An family.
Years ago, the An family's nanny switched the An family's daughter with her own son.
That vicious woman threw young Anan into a trash can, leaving her to fend for herself. If it weren't for a kind person who found her in time and rushed her to the hospital, perhaps Anan would no longer exist in this world.
Annan spent a difficult childhood in an orphanage, experiencing countless hardships and tribulations. However, fate is always full of drama.
By chance, An Nan learned that she was actually the real heiress of the An family. She only found out when the An family took the initiative to find her.
It turns out that when Anshan was injured and his blood type was tested, his mother discovered something amiss and eventually found out who the nanny was from back then.
Annan originally thought that after finding her biological parents, her life would undergo a complete transformation, and she would live a happy and fulfilling life from then on.
What a pity! Her parents were the kind of people who severely favored sons over daughters. Even though her so-called younger brother was just an adopted son, his status in their hearts far surpassed that of her, their biological daughter.
Not to mention kicking him out of the house.
An's mother often said: "The kindness of raising you is greater than the kindness of giving birth to you. You are the older sister, so you should give way to your younger brother."
They seem to have completely forgotten the hardships they endured while living away from home all these years.
This made her feel incredibly sad!
What she found even more unbearable was that Anshan actually laid hands on her at home.
This behavior was nothing short of blasphemy and insult, yet the An family turned a blind eye to it, even showing some delight and pleasure in it.
All of this disgusted her, filling her with anger and resentment. So, she simply left with nothing, severing all ties with the An family.
Anyway, I've gotten used to living alone all these years!
I never expected that Anshan would come crawling to me at this time. He must not have said anything good!
"Sister! You have no idea how much Mom and Dad miss you, and how much I miss you, since you left!"
As Anshan spoke, her eyes reddened, tears welling up in them, making her look pitiful, as if she really missed her older sister.
But all of this seemed so fake and ridiculous to Anan. How could she not see through his intentions?
Watching a tall man over 1.7 meters pretend to be pitiful and weak made me feel inexplicably nauseous, and I almost threw up!
She suppressed her discomfort and looked coldly at the so-called fake younger brother in front of her, her eyes full of disgust and disdain.
"Don't use such disgusting language, just say what you want! What exactly do you want?"
"elder sister……"
"Stop! Don't call me 'sister,' it makes me sick!"
"Alright! Since that's the case, I'll just say it straight: give me your position!"
Anshan ran all the way here and finally made it to register. However, the line for testing spiritual roots was so long it was disheartening, and today was the last day to register. He wasn't sure if he could even get a spot.
So he started looking around, intending to use his money, but unexpectedly he found Annam ahead of him in the queue.
He felt he could save some money by getting Annan to make room for him, since everything in the An family belonged to him anyway.
"Heh! What makes you think you're superior? Is it because you have a big face or because you're a fake?"
"You!" Anshan pointed at Annan, his face flushed with anger. "Annan, aren't you afraid that Mom and Dad will never let you come home again?"
Annan sneered, "I'd rather give this position to a dog than to a counterfeit like you! Besides, I was born and raised without a home!"
After saying that, Annan turned around and ignored Anshan and the onlookers.
As Anshan watched Annan's retreating figure, he secretly vowed to make Annan pay the price.
But right now, the most important thing is to pass the test and enter a cultivation sect. He glared at Annan fiercely, then looked around the team for someone to exchange with.
Bai Luo watched as An Nan was harassed, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. An Shan, very well, I'll remember you!
This little incident passed quickly, and next it was Anan's turn to take the spiritual root test. She watched nervously as the previous person walked past her with a disdainful expression because they had no spiritual root.
"Annan, don't be afraid! You definitely have spiritual roots!"
Bai Luo noticed An Nan's nervousness and patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.
Annan took a deep breath, stepped onto the stage, and placed his hand on the spirit-testing stone. After a moment, the spirit-testing stone flashed with a red light.
"A mid-grade fire spirit root!" Yang Zhi, who was in charge of the test, exclaimed in surprise.
Annan and Bai Luo in the audience exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy.
Those around them cast envious glances, while Anshan, in the distance, was indignant.
"Annan, congratulations!" Bai Luo said with a smile.
An Nan glanced at him gratefully. If it weren't for his invitation, she might not have been able to register at the Xiaoyao Sect so smoothly.
Next, Annan only needs to wait for the disciple trials in the next two days to officially become a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect.
She was really looking forward to it…
