One must know that there was a difference of nine steps between spirit comprehension and spirit comprehension, and then between spirit scholars and spirit kings. There was not only a difference in spiritual energy, but also in time.

At the same time, the Third Elder of the Zi family estimated in his heart that during the Spiritual Qi Gathering, Zi Ling Xue still struggled to break through to the Spiritual Lord from being a Spiritual Scholar in less than ten days.

Zi Ling Xue smiled slightly and continued, "I know your principle as elders of the Zi family. That is, before doing anything, you must prioritize the rights of the Zi family. Including the fact that you've come here today because of my and Yue Yu's performance in the Spiritual Qi Gathering."

Zi Ling Xue's voice was calm as she explained the thoughts of the crowd, "Moreover, you didn't stop Second Elder Zi from attacking, so we can see if I have any real ability, or my level. In the end, when I saw the Second Elder was in danger, I wanted to help him, but I had to show favors in front of me. I'm not a three year old child, so I can clearly distinguish right from wrong."

Zi Feng smiled from start to finish, nodding his head. Zi Ling Xue's words were straightforward, but every word was true, and he didn't need to hide his fear of others knowing. He believed that not only them, but the other five great clans and even the royal family would choose to do so.

In this continent that valued spiritual energy, only the strong could be valued highly by others. No one would sympathize with the weak, because the weak … Too much.

Moreover, Zi Lingxue's performance today made Great Elder Zi Ling even more satisfied. She was calm and collected when facing strong enemies, and she did not have the slightest bit of fear as she spoke her opinion confidently.

Such a talent! It was worth the Zi family's attention!

Although Violet Bamboo Snow had the talent to refine medicine, she was far inferior to Zi Ling Xue!

Zi Ling Xue's thin lips parted, "I understand your method, but it doesn't mean that I will accept it!"

She had her own pride. Back then, when her family was forced out of her house by Zi Ye Tan, where were these illustrious elders of the Zi family?

Why didn't he come out to uphold justice?

And now, they were all trying to take advantage of her.

She, Zi Lingxue, had never been used by anyone!

Zi Feng, however, did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Zi Ling Xue with a puzzled expression. "Since you are clear about this, why did you choose such an unselfish thing?"

Zi Ling Xue smiled slightly. "Don't bully the poor."

"I was able to go from being without spiritual energy to today all thanks to my own hard work. At the time when I was in the most difficult times, I was still able to do it myself. Now, there is no need for me to ask others for help."

"Also." "I don't care who you are, I, Zi Lingxue, have always liked to take advantage of others, and what I hate the most is to be taken advantage of by others. If you do nothing and watch when we are in trouble, I won't blame you, but now that we have the ability, if you want to sit by and enjoy the benefits, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it so easily."

"Hur hur." Elder Zi could not help but look at Zi Lingxue and nod. "Good, good, good."

"You're really Zi Yehui's daughter. You and your father both have equally shameful pride."

Great Elder Zi Ling Xue felt that Zi Ling Xue was wronged, but as the Great Elder of the Zi family, she couldn't rely on her own heart to do things. On the contrary, she had to prioritize the interests of the family first.

Although it was cruel, it was also the reason why the Zi family could be considered as the strongest family in the Northern Yue for the past hundred years.

No one would sympathize with the weak. If one wanted to be respected, then they must become powerful and be worthy of being respected.

"What a pity. If it wasn't for that war, the Zi family would already be the number one of the five great families. Your father and brother would also be the most outstanding existences in the current generation of the Zi family."

When it came to the Zi family, there was no one who didn't know of the high-spirited Zi Yuefeng of seven years ago. It was such a pity …

"You have your own pride, so I'm not against it. However, you don't even listen to the agreement I made with you and yet you're busy rejecting it?" Zi Feng looked at Zi Ling Xue's reaction in amusement.

Zi Ling Xue frowned when she heard that. "What is it?"

"Hahaha …" The laugh of the grand elder became even clearer. "She really is a little girl."

No matter how much you accomplish in the future, you must remember your own identity. Even if you are not angry at the Zi family, you cannot do anything that would harm the interests of the Zi family. You even need to protect the Zi family when necessary!

"Big brother …" The Second Elder gritted his teeth while the Third Elder looked at Zi Feng in surprise. He hadn't thought that he would say something so outrageous.

They hadn't planned on this at first, as they wanted to directly intimidate Zi Lingxue and make her listen to the wrong orders of the Zi family. But who would have thought that Great Elder Zi would change his mind at the last moment and not ask her to listen to his words?

Zi Feng did not seem to hear the second elder's dissatisfaction and waved his hand, signalling the second elder not to say anything more.

For example, the second elder in front of you has pretty good spiritual energy. According to the long bone whip in your hand and the two spirit beasts in your contract, you can defeat him, but you need to know, the third elder, I, and even all of the Law Enforcing Elders in the Zi family, the Grand Elders, will not allow you to defeat him.

Zi Ling Xue pursed her lips and fell into silence. Zi Ling's words were meant to protect Zi Ye Tan secretly, because with Zi Ling Xue's personality, even if she didn't have the ability to take care of Zi Ye Tan now, she would definitely take revenge a thousand times over when she had the strength in the future.

However, Zi Ye Tan was the patriarch of the Zi family. No matter how big of a mistake he made, only the law enforcement elders of the Zi family could punish him. Others were not allowed to touch him. Zi Yehui had been in charge of the Zi family for so many years that he already had connections of his own. Zi Yehui had been in charge of the Zi family for so many years that he already had connections of his own.

Most importantly, Zi Ye Tan was not completely useless. The second house of the Zi family also had Zi Yan Xue.
