In her mind's eye, Xiao Yao bared her teeth and furiously attacked Mu Siyu: [Qilin! He actually dared to mention Qilin!]
[My lord! That guy drank a lot of the original owner's blood and has already stolen the Qilin, making it his own contracted beast!]
"Then I will definitely participate in this trial."
After saying that, he used a little bit of his divine power to soothe Xiao Yao's bristling hair and comforted him: "Alright, alright, it's not worth swearing at this kind of person."
"Oh my, I knew it! Our Jinjin is so amazing, she would definitely agree!" Mu Siyu's eyes were full of joy as he quickly grabbed the list of trial disciples next to the dean.
As expected, the list included all the beast-taming disciples of Xuan Yuan Academy, Mu Siyu, and even the scheming dean, but Wei Linyuan was conspicuously absent.
After seeing the list, Xiao Yao exploded again: "My lord! He deliberately prevented Xiao Tianjun from going!"
[Furthermore, the records show that the Dean had already given the black snake in the Mysterious Forest a poison that would drive it mad; if anyone enters, the black snake will attack indiscriminately!]
[He's targeting you specifically, completely disregarding the possibility of harming other students. How vicious! Damn it!]
Oops, I swore again!
Afraid of being discovered by Si Jin, Xiao Yao quickly rubbed her paws together and added, "[Grass, a type of plant.]"
Si Jin was amused by the silly system and was in a good mood, so she did not offer any comments on the list.
He glanced at it only once before casually tossing it to Mu Siyu: "Okay, let's go with this list."
Since someone is going to kill someone anyway, what difference does it make whether it's someone else killing him or Wei Linyuan doing it?
… …
Perhaps she was still angry, or perhaps she had other plans, but Si Jin insisted on entering the dense forest alone, without taking Wei Linyuan with her.
Wei Linyuan thought that if nothing happened this time, it would at least establish his authority over Jinjin, so he didn't insist on following along.
He simply remained seated at the table, propping his head up with one hand, worrying: When will Jinjin calm down?!
Although he didn't go with them, Wei Linyuan mobilized all the soldiers in the camp outside the capital after Si Jin led his men into the dense forest.
With lightning speed, they completely surrounded the secluded and mysterious forest.
He himself sat comfortably in a carved and intricately decorated palanquin, sipping tea.
A gentle breeze lifted his plain black robes, behind him stood tens of thousands of soldiers wielding silver spears and clad in cold armor.
This only made the Nine Thousand Years Old look more like a wolf clan leader, quietly observing the entire dense forest.
Today, anyone who dares to disturb his child's attempt to establish his authority will not be allowed to leave this dense forest alive.
… …
Deep in the dense forest, Si Jin took the lead and guided the team forward.
The other disciples followed closely, their eyes filled with admiration.
In fact, the monsters in the Youxuan Forest are the most terrifying in the entire Southern Liang. Their cultivation is not high, and they came here under duress, not wanting to perish here.
But seeing that Si Jin had captured more than a dozen low-level demonic beasts, he couldn't help but feel even more respect for him.
"Mu Sijin truly lives up to his reputation as the God of War of Northern Qi; he is indeed formidable."
"Yes, yes, I thought all the people of Northern Qi were like Mu Siyu, trying to please His Majesty by making themselves neither male nor female every day. I never imagined that Mu Sijin could go to such lengths."
"No wonder the Ninth Prince admires him!"
"That's why people say Mu Sijin is a crown prince who fought to the death for his country, while Mu Siyu is just a traitor who goes with the wind."
"Yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen someone as stupid as Mu Siyu. He ruined his own country, hahaha."
The disciples spoke softly, but countless discussions still reached Mu Siyu's ears, making his eyes redden.
His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
What's so good about Mu Sijin?
Why is it that he sacrificed the entire Northern Qi and all his dignity, yet he still couldn't compare to him?
However, Mu Sijin wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
The black snakes in the Dark Forest are enormous, comparable to towering trees.
If they were to encounter this, it would be the end for Mu Sijin.
Of the entire group, only he and the dean retained the teleportation talisman used for escape.
Just then, they saw a huge object crashing through several trees in the distance, hurtling towards them like a tidal wave.
If you get closer, you can see the black scales on its body.
Mu Siyu's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up—
Great! Now, Mu Sijin can finally perish in this dense forest along with these stupid disciples!
