The Three Years Are Up, Xiao Yu Arrives and Is Dumbfounded

Di Juetian looked at the bitter expression on Shangguan Qing'er's face.

He sighed.

You know, your sister really did do it for your own good, but you just couldn't live up to her expectations. He's a Child of Fortune, someone who will one day tread the heavens beneath his feet.

But being a relative of a Child of Fortune is dangerous.

Apart from the protagonist himself, they're all high-risk occupations.

For a villain, both he and his family are in high-risk occupations.

"This is a pill."

"I'll give you a chance. As long as you win tomorrow, you'll have a chance to take your sister's place."

"If you fail..."

Di Juetian left the rest unsaid.

Shangguan Qing'er looked at Di Juetian, disbelief in her eyes.

"Didn't you descend to the lower realm for my sister?"

"Your sister seems powerful to you because she's become your heart demon."

"To me, she's just an ant I could wipe out with a wave of my hand."

"It all depends on you. If you succeed, once you reach the Upper Realm, you'll understand that your sister is nothing more than a single drop in the vast ocean."

Hearing that, Shangguan Qing'er was stunned.

In her eyes, her sister was someone she had striven to catch up to. Yet in this young master's eyes, she was probably worth less than a maid.

After watching Shangguan Qing'er leave, Di Juetian chuckled.

Shangguan Qing'er emerged, looking utterly distraught.

Then she froze.

"Sister, you're still awake too?"

"Is this what you meant when you told me to rest and build up my strength?"

"How I spend my time is none of your concern."

"Qing'er, you've changed."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed.

"Yes, I changed a long time ago. Didn't you force me to, my dear sister? You like him, so you could have taken him to the Upper Realm. Why did you have to sacrifice my happiness?"

"Do you know what people say about me? That I'm weaker than you? That I'm not as pretty as you? That even the man I find in the future won't be as good as yours?"

"How ironic. You felt guilty, but what is he? An outsider. Who am I? I'm your own younger sister."

"I... I did it for your own good..."

"I don't need it, Shangguan Wan'er. Spare me your fake concern."

"From now on, whatever I do, even if I kill Xiao Yu, it'll be because you forced me to."

"How dare you! If you dare do that..."

"I will. What are you going to do about it?"

"You want to kill me? Come on, do it! Let's see if you dare!"

"Kill your own sister for an outsider. Do it!"

"Why aren't you doing it?"

Shangguan Wan'er sighed.

"If you don't dare, then keep it to yourself from now on."

"Shangguan Wan'er, you don't deserve to be my sister."

Shangguan Qing'er left.

Her eyes were full of malice and resentment.

Suddenly, she recalled Di Juetian's words: as long as she defeated her sister, he would give her a chance to take her sister's place.

Shangguan Qing'er had still been a little hesitant, but seeing Shangguan Wan'er waiting here especially for her...

Shangguan Qing'er's hesitation vanished.

Her eyes turned cold, and her steps grew firmer.

Di Juetian naturally sensed the commotion between the two.

"The show is beginning."

"It should help pass the time."

"How is the investigation I asked you to conduct going?"

Di Juetian spoke into the empty air.

A dark figure appeared and knelt before Di Juetian.

"Divine Son, the investigation is complete."

"That secret realm has a connection to the Upper Realm."

"The family's earlier conjecture should be correct."

Di Juetian nodded.

At the same time, the figure vanished.

"This should be the Child of Fortune's opportunity. If the Child of Fortune obtains it and cultivates for a while longer, he should go to the Immortal Domain."

By the next day...

The Shangguan Lineage was already bustling with activity.

After all, many people were looking forward to the three-year agreement.

On top of that, the Shangguan Lineage's noble daughter had descended from the Upper Realm.

There were also several mysterious young masters whose status in the Upper Realm was frighteningly high.

Many factions were now focused on Di Juetian.

"The No Delusion Sect has arrived."

Just then, a voice rang out.

"The Blade and Sword Sect has arrived."

"The Liu Family has arrived."

"The Wang Family has arrived."

Announcement after announcement rang out.

Before long, the Shangguan Lineage's square was bustling.

"The Profound Yang Sect has arrived."

At those words, the expressions of quite a few members of the visiting factions changed.

"The Blazing Fire Sect has arrived."

"The Wind God Sect has arrived."

Seeing that several of the Xuanqing Realm's hegemonic factions had arrived...

The others quieted down as well.

But soon, everyone's gazes fell upon the raised platform.

"That must be the Shangguan Lineage's noble daughter."

"Yes. Three years ago, when a mighty figure from the Upper Realm took her up there, it caused a sensation throughout the Xuanqing Realm."

"She's far beyond our reach. To be prized by the Upper Realm, her talent must be incredible."

"I wonder what level of strength she's reached?"

As they chatted, a figure suddenly appeared on the raised platform.

A layer of mist concealed his face.

Everyone looked over.

"Hmph."

A cold snort rang out.

"You ants dare to spy on the Divine Son?"

The Xuanyang Ancestor stepped forward and unleashed his Emperor-Sealing presence.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

They hadn't expected the old fellow to have broken through.

It seemed the young master on the platform had given the old fellow some benefits.

"The Profound Yang Sect pays its respects to the Divine Son."

The Xuanyang Ancestor led the people of the Profound Yang Sect to their knees.

"No need for such formalities."

Even Di Juetian hadn't expected the Xuanyang Ancestor to pull something like this.

The others' expressions changed.

Then they looked threateningly at everyone else.

"We pay our respects to the Divine Son."

"Three years have passed. Xiao Yu has come to pay a visit."

Just then, a voice rang out.

When Xiao Yu arrived, he was dumbfounded.

Why were these people all kneeling?

Was he really important enough to command such respect?

It seemed they were kneeling to Wan'er.

It's been three years. Have you been well?

Xiao Yu looked toward the raised platform.

His expression changed.

He realized they weren't kneeling to Shangguan Wan'er, but to the person whose face he couldn't make out.

Although he couldn't see the person's face, Xiao Yu sensed danger. He also had a strong feeling that this fellow would be his enemy in the future.

Who on earth is this fellow?

Forget it. After I defeat Shangguan Qing'er, I'll find a chance to ask Wan'er.

Looking at Shangguan Wan'er on the raised platform...

Xiao Yu's eyes were full of infatuation.

It's been three years. I've finally seen you again!

Di Juetian naturally saw it too.

Previously, when other men had set their sights on Shangguan Wan'er, she had looked disgusted.

When Xiao Yu looked at her, she looked shy.

Heavens, you really are unfair.

Everyone else looks like a slobbering fool.

Only the Child of Fortune has admiration in his eyes.

Love at first sight? It's nothing more than lust at first sight.

It's just that Heaven's son gets special treatment.

The two exchanged flirtatious glances.

Seeing the worry in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes...

Xiao Yu gave an unintentional, devilish smile.

It was full of confidence.
