After the Grand Elder left.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming exchanged a glance, both able to see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
According to the Grand Elder...
The First Elder and the Third Elder have now figured out Xu Yeming's identity.
The First Elder is very likely on their side, while the Third Elder is on their opposite side.
If that's the case, perhaps the Xu Clan has already received information about Xu Yeming.
If that's the case, Xu Yeming's current situation is probably dangerous.
But why the Third Elder?
The Third Elder was not present when they were greeted.
The one who gave Xu Yeming a malicious look was the Fourth Elder. Could it be that the Third Elder also knew the inside story from back then?
Or perhaps the Grand Elder was lying to divert their attention?
Ye Qiubai immediately said, "Ask Uncle Liu. Have him keep an eye on the Xu Clan's every move and see if they've made any unusual moves recently. If they have, then the Xu Clan should already know your identity, Junior Brother Xu."
After saying that, he immediately contacted Liu Ziru.
Liu Ziru stated that Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu had personally participated in this matter and had already planted spies in the Xu Clan a few days earlier.
No unusual activity has occurred so far.
Of course... it's also possible that no unusual activity was detected.
The Xu Clan is, after all, a top-tier High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan. If they are determined to hide their whereabouts, it won't be a difficult task for them.
After ending contact with Liu Ziru.
Xu Yeming analyzed in a deep voice, "It seems that the First Elder and the Third Elder know the inside story from back then. Should we go and ask the First Elder first?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai thought for a moment but shook his head and said, "If the Grand Elder wanted to tell us, he would have already said so just now. Since he hasn't, it means it's not the right time yet."
"And most importantly, Junior Brother Xu, you must create an identity for yourself. Right now, they are suspicious of your identity. Once it is completely exposed and they are certain of your identity, they will probably go all out."
At this point, Ye Qiubai said with a serious expression, "I think... it's because they can't fully confirm your identity yet that they haven't told the Xu Clan about you..."
Xu Yeming nodded.
"I understand what to do."
He immediately took out a jade pendant that could transmit sound.
the next day.
As expected, the opponent made their move.
The Fourth Elder asked Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming to come to him.
Thinking that they might arouse suspicion if they didn't go, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming did not hesitate and went directly to the Fourth Elder's residence.
Inside the Cangxuan Academy.
Each of the five inner palace elders occupies a mountain peak by themselves.
The Fourth Elder's courtyard was also situated on a cliff face, as if the entire courtyard was embedded in the cliff, with its bottom suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, amidst a luxurious artificial mountain and water feature, a small boat floats on the lake.
Mist drifted across the lake.
However, upon closer inspection, this dense fog was formed from pure Immortal Qi!
Within this mist, one could even see with the naked eye that droplets of water occasionally floated and fell.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming watched as water droplets fell into the lake.
Thinking to myself, this lake seems to have been formed by the accumulation of these individual drops of water.
One can imagine how pure and rich the Immortal Qi here is.
Being in it year-round, even without cultivation, even just breathing.
Both can rapidly advance your cultivation level!
now.
On a small boat in the middle of the lake, a figure can be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged through the thick fog.
Although they couldn't see the faces of the people in the mist, they could vaguely sense a gaze sweeping over them.
At this moment, two prayer mats flew out from the thick fog and landed precisely at the feet of Ye Qiubai and his companion.
"Sit." A calm voice came from within.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming did not refuse upon hearing this.
After sitting down, Xu Yeming asked, "I wonder what business the Fourth Elder has with us?"
After listening, there was a full five-breath silence.
The Fourth Elder's voice finally came from within.
"It's nothing serious. You've already toured the entire academy these past few days, and I'm wondering what your plans are for the future, so I just wanted to ask."
"After all, as students of the Azure Firmament Academy, we of the Cangxuan Academy still need to take care of them to some extent."
Upon hearing this...
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming exchanged a glance.
Here it comes...
Xu Yeming waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Elder. We are already taking up your academy's resources by staying here. We'll just wander around the academy, practice with the inner court students, and experience your academy's cultivation atmosphere and methods."
This statement was intended to hand over the initiative to the Fourth Elder.
Xu Yeming and his companion also wanted to know how the Fourth Elder would test him, so they could counter his moves and find a way to conceal their identities.
As expected, the Fourth Elder said, "In that case, why don't we go and take a look at the Blood Assessment Hall of my Cangxuan Academy?"
" The Blood Assessment Hall?" Xu Yeming asked in confusion.
"That's right." The Fourth Elder nodded and said, "After these few days of visits, you two should know that our Cangxuan Academy has detailed divisions for the different cultivation paths of various students, as well as different methods of teaching."
"They will not only use the Power of Dao Law to differentiate students' cultivation methods, but also their bloodlines."
"After all, there are some people with special bloodlines who are suited to cultivation methods that target their bloodline."
" The Blood Assessment Hall is the place used to test bloodlines."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming and Ye Qiubai understood the Fourth Elder's intention.
It's obvious.
The Fourth Elder wanted to determine whether Xu Yeming possessed the bloodline power of the Xu Clan by examining his bloodline.
It is important to know that every High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan shares the same bloodline, only the purity of that bloodline may vary.
Once Xu Clan Xu Yeming's bloodline is detected, his identity can be confirmed!
The Fourth Elder had initially thought that Xu Yeming would refuse.
He then added, "By detecting the type of your bloodline, we can provide you with a targeted experience of the cultivation methods employed by the Cangxuan Academy."
But little did anyone know, the Fourth Elder had barely finished speaking when...
Then Xu Yeming readily agreed, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble the Fourth Elder. I also want to see what kind of abilities my bloodline possesses."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder began to doubt whether his own guesses were wrong.
Or is it that the other party simply didn't know this would happen?
However, since the other party had readily agreed, the Fourth Elder didn't dwell on it any longer. He floated out of the thick fog and landed in front of the two, saying calmly, "In that case, let's go."
On the way.
Ye Qiubai asked telepathically, "Are you ready?"
Xu Yeming touched his heart and nodded, saying, "According to the Great Wilderness Scripture and the tampering Master did to the Great Wilderness Beast Heart, it probably won't be detectable. Besides... they should be arriving soon."
