"He moved."
Across the lake.
The short man from the Gu Family noticed Little White Tiger's movement and revealed a mysterious smile.
The members of the Four Great Clans hesitated.
The situation on the lake was unclear. Rashly entering the water might get them wiped out.
But if they stayed out and Little White Tiger beat them to it, they would lose more than they gained.
"Isn't he afraid of dying?"
Ji Min's gaze had been on Wang Shengnan from beginning to end.
Of everyone present, he regarded only her as a rival.
"A king who clawed his way up from the bottom wouldn't have made it this far without that ruthlessness."
The young master of the Gu Family chuckled, his words full of curiosity about Little White Tiger.
"Interesting."
Wang Shengnan stepped forward, her clothes stirring without a breeze.
Like a frost queen, she displayed an unparalleled bearing with every movement.
It was an arrogance that truly looked down on everyone.
Her black hair rose into the air, slowly turning white.
"Shengnan, don't be rash."
Ji Min gently reminded her.
"Wang Family of Purple Gold!" Wang Shengnan shouted.
"Here!"
The dozen or so youths accompanying Wang Shengnan stepped forward in unison.
"Those who dare to die, follow me into the water."
With that, Wang Shengnan entered the water first.
The onlookers cast admiring glances at her. A woman, yet she had been the first to take the plunge.
Her bearing left many men ashamed of themselves.
"Worthy of the Capital's number one genius."
"The foremost extraordinary woman of the Four Great Clans, heh."
Ji Min looked at Wang Shengnan with both hostility and adoration.
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Shengnan stepped onto the lake.
White frost emanated from her body. As she stepped on the water, its surface instantly froze.
