Yun Zhi Yue said meaningfully, "What if I can't win in a fight?"
"Oh, then just leave some harsh words and slip away. When your fists are stronger another day, you can come back," she replied.
Yun Zhi Yue chuckled, "Then I’ll trouble Brother Er Zhu to take care of me."
"Let’s go over there, little sister. Don’t mind them; it’s more important to save your energy for the apprenticeship," she suggested.
Seeing Wang Er Zhu looking like an older brother ready to protect her, Feng Nie scoffed, "Are you just tall without any brains? That woman is stronger than you. Do you really think she needs your protection? Can't you see she's playing you for a fool?"
Yun Zhi Yue immediately pouted, "I’m not!"
Wang Er Zhu got angry instantly, "Damn it! Stop meddling in my business."
"Little sister, if you're scared, I won’t listen to their nonsense." His large hand, as thick as a fan, gently patted Yun Zhi Yue's shoulder.
With a loud thud, Yun Zhi Yue fell to the ground.
The entire place fell silent, only Wang Er Zhu's anxious voice broke the stillness, "Hey? Why are you lying on the ground? That's so ungraceful; get up quickly."
Everyone wondered: Is it possible that you were the one who knocked her down? Do you really have that much strength?
Due to the apprenticeship rules, Long Kuang and Feng Nie didn't confront Wang Er Zhu directly. The so-called trials would consume a lot of spiritual energy; they would settle accounts with Yun Zhi Yue later.
Most people had an idea of what was going on. Once Nian You pointed out Fangcun Realm, they knew they wouldn’t have a chance at being accepted as disciples.
However, since the top ten would receive rewards from the Emperor, everyone was still excited.
The first trial was quite simple; like ordinary sect initiation, it involved climbing the Cloud Ladder. Each level increased in weight pressure, and those who reached the top within the allotted time would pass. This trial alone would eliminate more than half of the applicants.
The continuous white jade steps seemed endless, but as long as one could withstand the gravity and keep their mind steady, they would eventually reach the top. The challenge lay in the increasing pressure and the distracting effects of the jade stones beneath their feet; not many could endure for long.
Regardless of how painful it was for others, the four who were under three thousand years old and had entered Fangcun Realm didn’t think much of this Cloud Ladder climb.
Long Kuang and Feng Nie moved swiftly as if completely unbothered, drawing gasps of envy from many onlookers.
Yun Zhi Yue strolled leisurely, taking her time step by step while Wang Er Zhu followed closely beside her, seemingly eager to say something.
When they reached the middle of the Cloud Ladder, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked with a puzzled expression on his face, "Little sister, I heard that the Dragon and Phoenix Clans have always been at odds with Chuan Yi since over a thousand years ago when the Heavenly Emperor changed hands. Recently there have been rumors that the Heavenly Emperor has been taking action against the Phoenix Clan because of a woman who has repeatedly harmed them. The Heavenly Queen even had to summon Bi Fang Emperor to oversee things for the Phoenix Clan. Is that woman you?"
Yun Zhi Yue replied curiously, "You really have some guts to bring up such high-level gossip! Aren't you afraid of being crushed?"
Wang Er Zhu squinted playfully, "Aren't we just enjoying some gossip in private? Those Emperors surely won't be watching the insignificant Fangcun Realm. What’s there to be afraid of? I came here to learn from a master and listen to some rumors; my curiosity is quite strong."
Inside the No Master Hall, the Four Emperors were peering at the screen, with the Outer Celestial Emperor and the Heavenly Queen as the main figures. Each of them was likely pondering whether they should take action and crush Wang Er Zhu.
