"I am the second lady of the Zuo family, Zuo Yi Yun." Zuo Yiyun glanced towards Lin Xuanyi from time to time and said somewhat nervously. Shui Qiannan had noticed Zuo Yiyun's strangeness.

At this time, Lin Xuanyi and Mo Zichen had also entered. Lin Xuanyi was just closing the door, and after hearing Zuo Yi Yun's introduction, she turned her head to look at her. "It's you."

Lin Xuanyi smiled and said, "We used to have an engagement, so we often played together when we were young, but …" Then the engagement was annulled. " Lin Xuanyi didn't say why the marriage contract had been cancelled, but everyone present understood that it was because Lin Xuanyi had lost her spirit energy.

Lin Xuanyi's smile was estranged. "It's nothing. By the way, is your father well?"

"My father is dead." Zuo Yi Yun said in disappointment.

Lin Xuanyi looked at Zuo Yi Yun in shock. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, she only said two words: "My condolences."

"Yes." Zuo Yi Yun replied.

In that moment, the pressure in the room dropped. Shui Qiannan coughed and asked Chu Tianyan, "How was your trip this time?"

"Boss, you don't know that this little Yi Zi has actually advanced." Chu Tianyan angrily said.

"Hmm?" Shui Qiannan asked. Zuo Yiyun's eyes widened when he heard this. Did Lin Xuanyi recover his spirit energy? Zuo Yi Yun actually felt slightly happy in her heart.

"I didn't use any spiritual power. I can't use any spiritual power for three months, but I don't know why I suddenly advanced to Green Rank." Lin Xuanyi explained.

"You were Yellow Rank five years ago?" Shui Qiannan asked.

"Exactly." Lin Xuanyi said, but he remembered Shui Qinan's words. Even if he advanced, he wouldn't dare to use his spirit energy.

"What element are you?" Shui Qiannan asked.

"Wood element." Lin Xuanyi said.

"No wonder," said Shui Qiannan. "Because you absorbed the wood element, it nourishes your spirit energy."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xuanyi said. Back then, Chu Tianyan had asked him what kind of elixir he had taken. He said that he hadn't eaten anything, but Chu Tianyan just didn't believe him.

"What else? Have you collected enough spirit stones?" Shui Qiannan asked.

"I've collected it. It's enough for training." Shui Qiannan found that Mo Zi Chen was much more energetic than before, and he was also much more confident than before.

"What about you? What did you get?" Shui Qiannan asked.

"Er Yan, he just bought a little beauty." Chu Tianyan's face darkened as he said, "What do you mean by 'little beauty'? Also, what do you call me?"

"Er Yan." Mo Zi Chen looked innocently at Chu Tianyan.

"You used to call me Brother Chu, but you were led astray by little Yi Zi!" Chu Tianyan was furious.

Zuo Yi Yun wanted to cover her eyes. Was this person really Chu Tianyan? She really wanted to go back to when she was praising Chu Tianyan. No wonder Shui Qi Nan had that weird expression on his face.

"Didn't Eryan say he was more friendly?" Mo Zi Chen said with a smile.

"Then why did you call him older brother Xuan?" Chu Tianyi pointed at Lin Xuanyi and asked.

"Because his nickname is Brother Xuan." Mo Zi Chen said helplessly. Lin Xuanyi's grandmother came from the southern region of the ocean. People there called him a brother when they called him a child. His grandmother had called him big brother Xuan all the way until now.

"Tell me who that little beauty is first." Shui Qiannan interrupted their conversation.

"There's a little girl who insisted on coming back with Er Yan." Lin Xuanyi said in amusement.

Chu Tianyan silently rolled his eyes at them and seriously said to Lin Xuanyi, "She didn't want to follow me, she wanted to follow me back. We just arrived at the western side of the city and that little girl just charged in and stopped. I think she has her eyes on you, but you're too cold, so you had to follow me back."

"Is that so?" Shui Qiannan asked.

"Don't mention it, boss. It's all thanks to the pill you gave me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to get out of there. I really don't want to go back to that place anymore." Chu Tianyan said with a trace of fear.

"We almost died when we got there, the Flint Forest really does live up to its name." Mo Zi Chen said.

In the beginning, it was really difficult for him to deal with the spirit beasts when they rushed out. He had been relying on Chu Tianyi's help the entire time, but Lin Xuanyi had come and gone as she wished. Since there weren't any spirit beasts attacking him, Lin Xuanyi calmly stood to the side, collecting spirit medicine.

"However, I have also become familiar with the water element, and I feel that my spirit energy has increased. Although I can't advance like brother Xuan, I am still very happy." Mo Zi Chen smiled.

"Alright then." Shui Qiannan nodded.

"I wasn't affected by the spirit beasts at all. None of them attacked me." Lin Xuanyi also had some doubts.

"It's probably related to the fact that you're a wood element, or something precious on your body." Shui Qiannan speculated.

"I only have a piece of jade that Grandmother left for me. This jade is ordinary and doesn't have any spiritual energy at all." Lin Xuanyi touched the jade pendant on his neck in confusion.

Shui Qiannan looked at the jade pendant around Lin Xuanyi's neck. It seemed very ordinary. Shui Qiannan shook his head. "I don't know either."

Chu Tianyan, Lin Xuanyi, and Mo Zichen explained some of the events that had happened in the Flint Forest. Some were amazed, some were dangerous. Chu Tianyan described everything vividly, and Mo Zi Chen interjected a few words from time to time. The atmosphere in the room was very good.

Zuo Yi Yun was also attracted by their experiences. The initial nervousness and depression had all disappeared.

This was the first time the future leaders of the five clans had gathered together. Other than Shui Qiannan, no one else had thought that they would take over the family.

"I came back to find that people outside were discussing the matter of Shui Qianyu being crippled. What happened? What did she do to you?" Chu Tianyan asked like a curious baby.

Shui Qiannan lightly recounted what had happened in the past few days and also told them that the crown prince was not someone they could deal with. Everyone had to be careful.

"I knew that fellow wasn't a good person. On the day of the Family Competition, he wanted my life with every move and was extremely sinister." Chu Tianyan's tone was filled with disdain towards Hou Ziming.

"Currently, our five great clans are losing more and more status in the Yan Qi Kingdom. Back then, there were six great clans and one of them was the Hou clan. The six great clans conquered this world side by side and the Hou clan finally ascended the throne to become the founding emperor. Realizing that the other five families had rendered meritorious services, they were bestowed with unparalleled glory. But now, it's a calamity that's about to end. We have to endure it, but the Emperor has to suppress it step by step. " Lin Xuanyi said helplessly.
