Study.
Using the moonlight, Hun Xiu arrived at Soul Emperor's study. The moment he reached the door, he discovered that besides Soul Emperor, the master of the study, there was someone else inside.
The person wore a black robe and stood in the middle of the study. All Hun Xiu could see was their back.
He could not determine who this person was from their back alone, but he could be certain that this person was the runner-up of the Clan Competition.
He had not expected the other party to arrive even earlier than him, the champion. He felt slightly ashamed.
He entered the study.
He respectfully said to Soul Emperor, "Father."
Then he looked at the black-robed person beside him. When he saw the other party's face clearly, Hun Xiu could not help but freeze slightly.
Coming back to his senses, he said in surprise, "Soul Jade."
That was right.
The person before him was none other than Soul Jade.
Hun Xiu had thought the runner-up would definitely be Hun Feng. After all, Hun Feng was a six-star Dou Emperor, while Soul Jade was merely a Five-star Dou Emperor.
With Hun Feng suppressing her, it should have been impossible for Soul Jade to take second place.
But there was always an exception, just like now. The one standing before him was not Hun Feng, but Soul Jade.
"Mm."
"Big Brother."
Soul Jade nodded slightly at Hun Xiu with a smile.
"Mm."
Hun Xiu nodded slightly, not surprised that Soul Jade called him Big Brother.
After all, as Soul Emperor's most favored son, there were some things he knew.
"I never expected you to take second place. I thought it would be Hun Feng. Congratulations," Hun Xiu said.
Soul Jade smiled. "Thank you, Big Brother."
