Compromising Tian Sheng and the Little Mare

"Northern Region Wen Family!?"

Upon hearing the words of the girl in the Golden Battle Skirt, Tian Sheng, hovering in mid-air, broke out in a cold sweat.

As far as he knew, the Luo Shen Clan had only one Earth Supreme, and the Sacred Spirit Institute's guardian Divine Beast could barely handle that.

But the Northern Region Wen Family was not only an alchemy family; it also had a Heavenly Supreme overseeing it!

But his illegitimate son, Ji Xuan, could not have died for nothing!

At that thought, Dean Tian Sheng suppressed the shock in his heart and questioned Wen Qingxuan, "I merely acted according to the result of our Five Great Academies' discussion. Besides, why do you, a little girl, think the important figures of your Wen Family would listen to you?"

But as soon as he said that, the other four deans simultaneously moved away from him, drawing a clear line between themselves and him.

What did he mean, the result of a joint discussion?

This was clearly a decision made by Tian Sheng alone!

"Because I am the only child of Wen Aotian, head of the Wen Family! Because everyone in the Wen Family recognizes me as the next heir!"

Wen Qingxuan radiated the imposing aura of someone in power as she domineeringly spoke words that made Tian Sheng's heart tremble.

The other four deans also breathed a sigh of relief. This time, their righteous dissociation had been the right choice.

What!?

Her status in the Wen Family was actually so high!?

Not only that, Wu Yingying in the distance called out to a short old man in the sky, "Grandfather, this man saved my life just now."

"Mm."

The short old man nodded lightly. He had also seen his granddaughter being attacked by the Golden Armored Dragon Tiger Beast just now.

Thus, he spoke to Tian Sheng as well. "Tian Sheng, this punishment is too harsh on Lin Suchou. Withdraw it."

Looking at the three people pressuring him at once, Tian Sheng sighed inwardly. Then his expression darkened, and he nodded. "Fine. I failed to consider things thoroughly. I now announce that Lin Suchou's punishment will be withdrawn. However... Mu Chen, as the primary cause of this blood calamity, will retain his punishment!"

I'm sorry, son, but Father will find a way to wake you up.

After Tian Sheng's words fell, Mu Chen below suddenly laughed. "Unfair. This is truly unfair!"

At that moment, he suddenly understood. What was tested in this Spirit Road was not merely a youth's strength and background, but also their identity, status, and powerful backing outside.

Some people arrived on the Spirit Road with a map already in their hands.

Others had to exhaust every effort just to find the Guardian Land.

Some could leave the Spirit Road after the Life and Death Trial ended, while others, even if they gave up, could only be erased or wait for death!

This world was still a world where whoever had the bigger fist had the right to speak...

At that moment, the still immature Mu Chen suddenly understood this principle, and his young heart became even more resolute!

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry. My Fang Family is not as powerful as the forces behind those two, but I'll leave with you!"

Song Yuqing suddenly threw herself into Mu Chen's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"It's fine. One day, I'll kill my way back!"

Mu Chen looked coldly at Ji Xuan in mid-air, then regained his calm and looked toward Lin Suchou in the distance. "Brother Lin, when you leave the Spirit Road, remember to visit my Northern Spiritual Realm. Thank you for helping me on the Spirit Road. When the time comes, we'll drink and talk!"

Lin Suchou nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll definitely come!"

After the two said their farewells, Mu Chen stepped into the Light Gate in the sky with Song Yuqing and vanished.

Watching Mu Chen leave, Lin Suchou could not help but sigh.

It seemed he had to raise his strength as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would become like Mu Chen today, at Tian Sheng's mercy!

"Xuan'er..."

Tian Sheng descended to the ground, picked up Ji Xuan's corpse, and disappeared from this place.

The other three deans also departed. Only a refined Middle-aged Man in white looked at Lin Suchou and said, "Little fellow, you're quite impressive. I think highly of you!

Since Mu Chen is your friend, don't worry too much. When the time comes, my Northern Cang Spirit Academy will admit him.

And if, upon reaching the finish line, you choose my Northern Cang Spirit Academy, our academy will certainly spare no effort in nurturing you!"

"Thank you for Dean Taicang's appreciation. I will consider it."

Lin Suchou clasped his fists toward the man in white in the sky, his face filled with gratitude.

In truth, Northern Cang had been his target Spirit Academy as well. He had not expected Dean Taicang to extend an olive branch to him so early.

Then Dean Taicang also disappeared from this place. Lin Suchou likewise looked gratefully at Wen Qingxuan. "Thank you, Miss Wen, for your help!"

"Hehe, you saved my life before, so consider this my repayment. Besides... this young lady looks very familiar. Could it be that I've seen her somewhere before?"

Wen Qingxuan suddenly walked over to Luo Li and began chatting with her.

Lin Suchou raised an eyebrow at the sight.

He was endlessly grateful that Wen Qingxuan had helped him, but that was no reason for her to whisk away his wife!

"Thank you as well for your help just now."

Lin Suchou also clasped his fists in thanks toward Wu Yingying in the distance.

"One good turn deserves another."

Wu Yingying nodded lightly, then turned and left.

After all the surrounding figures had departed, Lin Suchou began cleaning up the battlefield.

This time, he had truly struck it rich!

It was only a pity that Tian Sheng had taken Ji Xuan's corpse away. Otherwise, he could have gained even more!

After Lin Suchou searched through the corpses of all eighty-three youths and obtained their Spirit Storage Artifacts and Blood Tokens, he continued toward the finish line with Luo Li.

This time, Lin Suchou had also successfully contracted Wen Qingxuan!

Since Wen Qingxuan wanted to steal his girlfriend away, she could not blame Lin Suchou for developing designs on her!

"Ding, detected that the favorability between the host and target has reached the required level. Would you like to contract Wen Qingxuan as a Goddess Object?"

"Contract!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully contracting Goddess Wen Qingxuan!"

Hearing the successful binding notification in his mind, Lin Suchou opened his Personal Panel.

After examining the panel, Lin Suchou continued forward with Luo Li riding the little mare.

However, upon seeing this, Wen Qingxuan clamored that she wanted to ride as well.

Lin Suchou suddenly had a headache, unsure where she should sit, or where he himself should sit.

Wen Qingxuan seemed to have prepared for this already and directly took out a mid-grade Spirit Artifact resembling a sedan chair.

This Spirit Artifact also had two wheels beneath it, but it was open-air, and its wide seat was draped in Variegated Tiger Skin.

When the heavy sedan chair was loaded onto the little mare's back, her childish voice kept ringing in Lin Suchou's mind.

"Master, I'm a warhorse, not a packhorse!"

"Wuwuwu, at such a young age, I shouldn't have to bear something this heavy."

Seeing the wry smile on Lin Suchou's face, Wen Qingxuan, who had long since planted herself in the chair, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"The little mare says it's too heavy and doesn't want to pull this sedan chair."

Lin Suchou shrugged helplessly.

"Doesn't want to pull it? That's easy."

After saying that, she jumped down from the sedan chair and walked before the little mare. Taking out a medicinal pill overflowing with immense spiritual power, she waved it before her eyes. "If you want it, then pull this sedan chair. Understand?"

The little mare, who had been resisting, instantly became friendly upon seeing the pill and affectionately rubbed against Wen Qingxuan's shoulder.

Then the three of them set off. For some reason, Wen Qingxuan sat to one side and had him sit in the middle.

Lin Suchou suddenly felt like an emperor enjoying himself, and he was more than happy with the arrangement.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to pull it just now? Why are you going so fast? Slow down."

Seeing their flying speed, Lin Suchou hurriedly sent a voice transmission to the little mare.

At this rate, they would probably reach the finish line in just a few days. How was he supposed to raise their intimacy then?

"Hehe, Master, I really didn't want to pull this sedan chair, but she gave me too much..."

The little mare's words made Lin Suchou unable to resist facepalming.

Forget it. The more pills Wen Qingxuan fed the little mare, the faster the little mare's cultivation would improve, and the greater the benefit to him.
