"He, K, Tu!"
Of the four peak masters, who is the most ruthless and cunning? It is Luan Zhenfeng of Qing Shuang Peak.
Anyone who has spent a few years at the Holy Capital Academy knows that every disciple their peak master takes in dies.
The Holy Capital Academy has a total of more than a dozen direct disciples, none of whom are disciples of Peak Master Qing Shuang.
Some people had previously defied the superstition and become the peak master's personal disciples, only to die shortly afterward during a mission. This led to the peak master's reputation for cursed disciples…
It's been confirmed!
It was precisely because their peak master no longer accepted personal disciples that Qing Shuang Peak lost its core appeal and leading disciple, resulting in Qing Shuang Peak ranking the lowest among the four peaks every year.
It's a vicious cycle, getting worse and worse.
"What about the dean's personal disciple?"
Shang Yanting continued to ask.
"The Dean's personally taught disciple?"
Then there's even less hope.
"There are only two ways to become the Dean's personal disciple: be born into one of the eight great families and become the most talented one in the eight great families; or win the top prize in the year-end competition."
There are two types of year-end competitions: individual arena matches and trials at the four major peaks.
"All One" refers to being first in the individual arena competition, first in the individual competition of the Four Peaks Trial, and first in the team competition of the Four Peaks Trial.
In all these years, there has never been such a remarkable person.
Besides, their peak... cough, getting third place is already pretty good.
Is that so?
Shang Yanting thanked the two of them, "Thank you for your explanation, Senior Brother."

After encountering the eight great families, Jia Xitong thought Shang Yanting would take some revenge, but she was overthinking it.
The male lead has top-notch ninjutsu skills, and every day he still spends his time practicing martial arts and visiting the library. Her life is much richer than his.
As a soul that doesn't need rest, Jia Xitong first changes Langmuzhi's cinnabar water every morning, and then takes out her special comb to carefully groom the little raccoon's few furs.
Finally, she fed her pet, Little Grey.
Every evening, Shang Yanting would prepare the finest hay for the horses. Then, the next morning, Jia Xitong would directly manipulate the raccoon to carry a small basket out the door.
But today, Little Grey is gone!
In the distance, a horse that had broken free of its reins was galloping wildly.
Behind it was a large group of disciples chasing after it.
"Grab it!"
Wow, it's so fat!
"Don't let it run away, let's have a snack at noon!"
...
A group of martial arts practitioners who hadn't eaten meat for days had their eyes turn green, as if they had spotted a piece of moving fat.
Jia Xitong was startled and dropped the small basket she was carrying on her paws. She turned and ran into the house, crying out, "Host, please help me!"

"Third junior brother, flank from the left."
"Fifth Brother, block them from the right."
With the eldest brother absent, the second brother calmly directed the other brothers. A few minutes later, the brothers who came to help each grabbed a horse by one of its legs and carried it back.
Her pet!
Jia Xitong rushed over on all fours in a hurry.
The next second, she was caught in a sack—she had walked right into a trap.
"What good luck today! I caught two prey this morning."
The second senior brother, holding the raccoon by its hind legs, grinned so hard his face was almost wrinkled. "Everyone, quickly set up a pot and start a fire."
"Senior brother."
Shang Yanting quickened his pace and blocked their path.
"Junior brother, you're here too! It's been a long time since we've had any prey on Qing Shuang Peak. Come on, let's have a good lunch today!"
The second senior brother enthusiastically called out.
Shang Yanting didn't move, his gaze falling on the raccoon in his right hand. "This isn't prey, it's a little monster I signed."
Contract monsters.
Rare, but not nonexistent.
Upon hearing this, the second senior brother stiffened for a moment. To be about to eat someone else's magical beast in front of his master, he said, "This...this is so embarrassing."
He quickly switched the raccoon with the raccoon, adding a compliment, "This little monster is so cute."
Shang Yanting hugged the raccoon and looked at the large horse that had been put on the back. "Senior brother, this is mine too."
The atmosphere instantly became even more awkward.
The junior brothers behind them felt as if the heavy flesh on their shoulders was about to fly away.
The senior students were reluctant to part with it.
Shang Yanting smiled gently, "Senior brother?"
For some reason, the second senior brother felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at his junior brother's smile.
"Yes, I'm sorry, junior brother."
The second senior brother turned around and beckoned his junior brothers behind him to put the horse down.
All that work for nothing this morning.
The group arrived excitedly, only to leave disappointed. The atmosphere was extremely tense as they departed, and the young senior brother walking at the back secretly turned to glance at Shang Yanting.
They didn't start their discussion until they were quite far away.
"Junior Brother Yan's smile just now was a bit scary."
"I feel like he might be angry."
"I almost ate someone's horse and monster. I would be angry too."
"But don't you feel that Junior Brother Yan is difficult to get along with, especially just now... that feeling was so strange."
"alright."
The second senior brother interrupted the four's conversation, "Junior Brother Yan is aloof, so please come over less often in the future and don't disturb him. Don't be like those on Tianwu Peak, so confrontational and devoid of any brotherly affection."

On the other side
Jia Xitong also sensed that the big blunder earlier had made the atmosphere strange.
"Dear host, was our behavior just now inappropriate?"
She had long noticed that Shang Yanting was even more aloof within the peak than when he was a student. Although the senior students within the peak were very enthusiastic, no one would keep trying to win someone's favor indefinitely.
The friends he had originally made had all gone to Tianwu Peak, and Shang Yanting was now indifferent to them.
She, Jia Xitong, was doing the work of a fake system while harboring the heart of a psychology teacher.
