Some family members came with elders from their families. One by one their faces turned pale as they entered the secret realm. Most of these who could enter the secret realm were geniuses from big families. If they died all of sudden, the family would lose the latest batch of new generation and serious weaknesses may occur.

People of the Marquis house stood by, maintaining order.

Xiao Jingting could see that many of the families seemed to have a problem with this competition, but because of the prestige of the Marquis, they did not dare to speak out in anger.

Xiao Jinfeng whispered to Xiao Jingting, “This time in the secret realm, there seemed to be a lot of demonic cultivators mixed in, so several people from Marquis house also died. Their losses were big.”

Xiao Jingting nodded. The Marquis organized this competition, on one hand, to weaken the power of the various cities under his government, and on the other hand, to promote the Marquis’ prestige. However, it seemed that there was some accident, but Xiao Jingting soon realized that it had nothing to do with him.

“Miss, no Illusory Snow Lotus was found.” A cultivator beside Ouyang Mingyue said.

“It doesn’t make sense!” Ouyang Mingyue said.

Xiao Jingting saw Ouyang Mingyue and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. Ouyang Mingyue really stood on guard here. This girl was really holding a grudge.

“Those demonic cultivators that were found were taken away, so the Illusory Snow Lotus might have fallen into the hands of the demonic cultivators.” The cultivator beside Ouyang Mingyue said.

Ouyang Mingyue closed her eyes. The Marquis had organized this competition and knew that there would be losses, but because of the demonic cultivators mixing in and because they had underestimated the ferocity of the demonic beasts in the forest, the losses of the great families this time were far greater than expected.

“It doesn’t make sense! That person didn’t look like a demonic cultivator.” Ouyang Mingyue said.

“Miss, the Illusory Snow Lotus might have been already taken in the secret realm.”

Ouyang Mingyue shook her head and said, “It shouldn’t be! Half-mature Illusory Snow Lotus has very little effect unless it’s refined into a pill. It might be someone who has a hidden spatial device, right?”

“No! We have special detectors, so any spatial device can’t escape it.”

Ouyang Mingyue’s gaze swept over each of the surrounding cultivators one by one. Xiao Jingting hid on the side, trying to fade away.

“You… come out.” Ouyang Mingyue pointed at Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jingting was stunned for a moment, then he revealed a flattering smile and looked at Ouyang Mingyue with excitement, “Miss Ouyang, were you looking for me?”

Ouyang Mingyue looked at Xiao Jingting’s salivating pig-like face, frowned, and said in an angry tone, “Get lost.”

Xiao Jingting showed a dejected look and retreated to Xiao Jinfeng’s side.

Xiao Jinfeng was a little confused about Xiao Jingting’s actions. As far as Xiao Jinfeng knew, Xiao Jingting had no feelings for beautiful women now. So, it was really weird for Xiao Jingting to show that expression to Ouyang Mingyue.

“Miss, are you alright?” A maid walked up to Ouyang Mingyue and asked.

Ouyang Mingyue shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.” She originally thought that Xiao Jingting’s back was somewhat similar to the person who stole the Illusory Snow Lotus, but the other person’s pig-like expression made her very annoyed.

“Miss, in my opinion, nine out of ten, the chance is that person has already died in the secret realm.” The maid thought: There are quite a few cultivators at sixth level of Qi Practice who had died in this competition! Most of the guys who had the audacity to rob their own miss, might have already died without a burial place.

“Fine.” Ouyang Mingyue shook her head.

Although the Illusory Snow Lotus was precious, there was no need to be so persevering. After all, all major cities had lost quite a few geniuses, and if they forced those people more, the Marquis’ position would be in jeopardy.

……

Xiao Jingting’s points were in the top ten, so he received an Ice Heart Pill as a reward. Xiao Jingting exchanged the rest of his points for a Nourishing Yuan Pill.

After the competition ended, the big families started their return journey.

Among the four great families of Desert City, Xiao family’s strength was preserved intact. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng, both advanced to the seventh level of Qi Practice, exerting more pressure to the other families.

The few Xiao family elders who had come with Xiao Linfeng, however, were in high spirits.

Whether a family could be strong or not depended on the number of cultivators at the top. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng both had a chance encounter at such a young age, advancing to seventh level of Qi Practice. If they both could enter the ninth level of Qi Practice in the future, they would definitely be able to bring the Xiao family to a higher level.

“Second master, you are really capable! Your three sons all stand out among people, especially Young Master Jinfeng and Young Master Jingting.”

“Second master, you have a successor!”

“Second Master, Young Master Jingting and Young Master Jinfeng are still so young but they are already at seventh level of Qi Practice, which would be the first in Desert city.”

“Second Master, Young Master Jingting got so many pills after the exchange. His cultivation will surely advance to another point.”

“Second Master, Young Master Qingyan doesn’t seem to be in a very good mood! Do you want to go check on him?”

Xiao Linfeng shook his head and said, “As a parent, I have no way to protect him forever, he should learn to grow up.” He put the most effort into Xiao Qingyan, but unfortunately… Xiao Qingyan was reckless and was inferior compared to Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng.

Xiao Linfeng thought: Both Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng are already at the seventh level of Qi Practice, but were not much different from himself who was at the eighth level of Qi Practice. There was really no need for him to fight with his two younger sons for the sake of his eldest son who was at the sixth level of Qi Practice.

Probably feeling humiliated, Xiao Qingyan hid in the carriage and didn’t show his face.

Xiao Qingyan closed his eyes. According to the past situation, his father should ask for some pills from his third brother for him. But this time, his father didn’t even seem to pay attention to him. Xiao Qingyan gritted his teeth and thought: Father must have been disappointed in him.
