This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xiao Ying to receive personal instruction from the sect leader.
You absolutely mustn't miss this opportunity. Even if you aren't selected for the Confucian Sage Sect, you can still broaden your horizons in the Southern Region Grand Competition.
Su Yunying found it somewhat ridiculous.
She was about to say that the scenes she had witnessed with Shen Zhao were far more impressive than any Southern Region Immortal Martial Arts Competition, but seeing Luo Fengjiao's eager eyes, she was too embarrassed to say it.
To be honest, based on our interactions so far, Su Yunying doesn't dislike Luo Fengjiao.
On the contrary, it allowed her to experience a rare moment of warmth from so-called family affection.
"The Immortal Martial Arts Tournament? In two months?"
Shen Zhao, who had originally intended to pretend not to hear, couldn't help but become interested.
Luo Fengjiao: "Fellow Daoist Shen has also heard about it, right? Actually, you might as well give it a try."
Of course, Luo Fengjiao was just being polite, because she did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Shen Zhao.
Such people are either reclusive masters or ordinary people.
At Shen Zhao's age, he seems more like the latter, but they didn't make it clear to save face for each other.
"I won't try it. I'm not interested in these small-scale events. Besides, I usually only play in high-end venues."
Luo Fengjiao frowned upon hearing this, thinking that Shen Zhao was exaggerating.
But Su Yunying smiled knowingly, knowing that this man's strength was far more exaggerated than anyone thought.
"However, I think the little girl can give it a try. After all, real combat is the only standard for testing the truth."
Luo Fengjiao quickly said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen is absolutely right. Xiao Ying, why don't you give it a try?"
Looking into those eager and expectant eyes, Su Yunying tilted her head and thought for a moment before agreeing: "Alright, since Boss Shen has said so, there's no harm in giving it a try."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fengjiao beamed with joy: "Good, good! This is my precious granddaughter!"
Judging from my past reputation, your grandmother was quite famous back then…
"Senior, I agreed to go to the Immortal Martial Arts Competition because the boss wanted me to go, not because of you."
Su Yunying ruthlessly interrupted Luo Fengjiao's self-praise and said seriously.
"Yes, it's okay, it's fine, as long as you're willing to go."
Luo Fengjiao didn't care and asked again, "Then can you tell me, Xiaoying, what is your current cultivation level?"
Su Yunying: "It's not high. Compared to the top ones, it's not even worth mentioning."
Luo Fengjiao didn't understand the implication in his words, and simply nodded: "It's alright, I'll go to the Spirit Medicine Pavilion later to see if there are any spiritual herbs that can improve cultivation, and I'll buy some for you."
"Senior, let me remind you, it is extremely unwise to forcibly enhance the foundation of your cultivation solely through the power of medicine."
I do not recommend forcibly increasing the little girl's cultivation level with external forces before her own foundation is solid.
Shen Zhao reminded Luo Fengjiao of something.
Luo Fengjiao: "I understand what you mean, but time is of the essence and we can't wait for anyone."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Senior, how about this?"
"I'll make a bet with you. I bet that in this Immortal Martial Arts Competition, this little girl will be able to overpower all the other competitors and win the championship."
Luo Fengjiao's face was filled with disbelief: "Winner?"
"That's right, but the condition is that you don't interfere with the little girl's cultivation progress during this period. Are you willing to bet?"
"Alright, let's bet! Tell me, what are we betting on?"
Luo Fengjiao really hoped she would lose, because it would be an unparalleled honor for the Fire Phoenix Clan to have a member who could win the Immortal Martial Arts Competition.
"Let's bet on the position of the next head of the Fire Phoenix Clan. If I am fortunate enough to win, I hope that you will do your best to help her take the position of young master."
"Let alone winning the championship, if you can make it into the top ten, the clan members will have no objection to Xiaoying becoming the young master. But what if you lose?"
"Hehe, I won't lose."
Shen Zhao's casual words revealed boundless confidence.
"Senior, you should think about how to persuade the Fire Phoenix Clan to serve the little girl."
"Young Master Shen, where does your confidence come from?"
"It's naturally about strength."
Shen Zhao's bright eyes made Luo Fengjiao momentarily stunned.
"Before the results are in, Young Master Shen, it's best not to make any definitive statements. Let's set some targets."
"One pound of Nine Heavens Mystic Phoenix Blood, and three Emperor-grade spiritual treasures—how about this offer?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Fengjiao felt as if she were suffocating.
These are all imperial-grade treasures. Even a single drop, let alone a pound, could potentially activate a clan member's ancestral bloodline.
There are also imperial-grade spiritual treasures, which are things that can only be fantasized about in dreams.
How could he possibly have that?
Seeing the doubt in Luo Fengjiao's eyes, Shen Zhao added, "Whether you believe it or not, you can ask the little girl. She knows best whether what I said is true or not."
Su Yunying smiled without saying a word. Although she didn't know if Shen Zhao really had the blood of the Fire Phoenix, she believed that her boss would never lie to her.
Luo Fengjiao immediately declared, "Alright, I'll profit from this bet regardless of the outcome. How about this, Young Master Shen?"
If you are right and Xiaoying wins the Immortal Martial Arts Competition, my Fire Phoenix Clan cordially invites you to Qifeng Mountain for a meeting.
“That’s great, that’s exactly what I was thinking too.”
Shen Zhao smiled, his mind already preparing for a storm that might occur two years from now.
With the matter settled, Luo Fengjiao didn't linger any longer. Before leaving, she gave Su Yunying a few more instructions and departed from Pin Yue Ju.
"Boss, why do you want me to participate in the Immortal Martial Arts Competition? Aren't we going back to Qingyang City?"
"It won't take much time, and besides, this competition is of paramount importance to you."
Two months from now, I want to see your name, Su Yunying, resound throughout the Southern Region!
She paused, then added, "Also, you should have noticed that your grandmother treats you completely differently than your parents."
She truly considers you family; you can't treat her the same way you would the Su family.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Su Yunying held the Fuxi Sacred Jade and muttered something softly.
