"The Grand Elder and the Dragon Clan Elder have been waiting in the ancestral hall for quite some time. The Patriarch instructed you to test the Dragon-Attracting Stone. The Sixth Miss has just returned to the manor, so we can't let your negligence keep them waiting..."

Manager Xu was about to pick up the box when he said that.

Children from cultivation families value bloodline and talent. This sixth young lady has always been away from home, and even if she were brought back, she would have long lost the favor of the family head and his wife. Therefore, talent is the most important thing.

Only talent can determine her status in this family.

Therefore, the patriarch instructed that the first thing the sixth young lady should do upon returning was to go to the ancestral hall, as there was also a sect test to follow...

On her first day back at the Wen family's residence, Tian Ning was determined not to let a mere servant bully her.

She let go, letting Steward Xu try his best to lift the box, but no matter what he did, he couldn't budge it. The white cat that was lying on top even kindly jumped down to lighten his load, but the box didn't budge an inch.

Tian Ning: "So this is the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I've learned something new."

"This, this..."

Meeting the girl's gaze, Manager Xu's face flushed red, sensing the undisguised mockery on her face.

How could a mere frail girl lift such a box, yet he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't?!

"Sixth Miss... then put everything here, please go to the ancestral hall first..."

"Go to the courtyard first, and I'll go to the ancestral hall after I'm settled."

"This was ordered by the patriarch, and besides, testing the Dragon-Attracting Stone is for your own good, Miss Six..."

Tian Ning stared at him coldly, refusing to back down: "Since you knew it couldn't be delayed, where were you before? You keep talking about the cultivation world, but I didn't expect there to be such cunning and treacherous servants here as in the mortal world."

"I don't know your rules here, but I won't go to the ancestral hall until I'm settled today. I want to see who suffers more, you incompetent servant or me?"

The girl's words were like a slap in the face to Steward Xu, and his face immediately turned bruised and purple.

Only then did he listlessly lead his men to the courtyard.

Tianning easily carried the suitcase to the new residence, settled the two little ones in, and then followed Steward Xu to the ancestral hall.

Along the way, they attracted many curious glances and whispers from the servants.

Tianning ignored this. She returned to Wenren's family not because she longed for her father's or mother's love, nor to compete with Wenren Xue for anything. If it weren't for her father's insistence that she step into the immortal realm to help bring peace to the world, Tianning would have long since stayed in the small village, living a happy life.

"Ignorant brats, how much longer are we going to have to wait? You've delayed my important mission to return to the Dragon Palace. Let's see how shameless you Wenren people are!"

Inside the ancestral hall, a handsome red-haired man, his face contorted with anger, clearly had been waiting impatiently for some time: "If it were Miss Xue'er, it would be one thing, after all, she's the contractor chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince. But what is this wild girl from the mortal realm?!"

An elderly man with graying temples next to him was smiling and saying nice things.

"Elder, the Sixth Miss has arrived."

Manager Xu knelt down at the door, trembling. The terrifying pressure inside was too much for him, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, to bear.

"Alright, let her in, you may leave." The elder hurriedly said, finally seeing her arrive.

"yes."

Before leaving, Steward Xu gave Tian Ning a meaningful look. This Elder Yan of the Dragon Clan had a fiery temper, and judging from the atmosphere inside, the little girl must have been terrified!

As he thought this, he saw Tianning calmly enter the ancestral hall, his steps steady and firm, and even his eyes filled with anticipation!

Where is the fear in his eyes?

Manager Xu: ? ? ?

"You are a fire dragon."

Tian Ning's beautiful eyes were fixed on Elder Yan from the Dragon Clan.

The dragon belongs to water, and the phoenix belongs to fire.

Fire dragons are as rare as ice phoenixes. It's not that they have stronger talents, but because of the elemental counters, fire dragons and ice phoenixes are more difficult to cultivate, just like the rare white lions on the grasslands, which have a hard time surviving and are destined not to have high cultivation levels.

But fire dragons are extremely rare, and Tianning was itching to raise one. She just loves raising these rare and unique creatures that are one in a million!

Elder Yan was taken aback by the girl's inexplicably intense gaze. After recovering, he coughed lightly, somewhat unwilling to argue with this simple-minded junior.

"Ahem... You do have some good taste."

I had previously heard from the people sent to the mortal realm that the wild girl they brought back was full of scheming. But now that I've seen her with my own eyes, well... I feel there's a kind of innocent stupidity about her.

And what's with that look of admiration on his face?

They practically wear their affection on their sleeves!

"You little brat, don't even think about daring to dream of me," Elder Yan couldn't help but say, "My uncle's third aunt's cousin married a former princess of the Dragon Palace, so he carries a trace of royal lineage in his blood!"

Tianning: "..."

Is it something to be proud of to have such distant relatives?
