“Xue Qingcheng, how much do you know about the eighth and ninth places on the Inner Courtyard Rankings?” In a secluded corner, Aotian asked Snow Qincheng.
Snow Qincheng paused slightly and replied, “The eighth place on the Inner Courtyard Rankings is He Dan. He is skilled in alchemy and is said to be able to refine high-grade second-tier pills. He has extensive connections within the academy, and countless students are willing to serve He Dan. After all, his alchemy skills are among the best in the academy.”
“The ninth place is He Wu. He specializes in weapon forging and is known to have successfully crafted low-grade treasured weapons. He also holds a high reputation within the academy.”
“What’s wrong? Did Aotian offend them?”
Aotian shook his head and said, “No, I haven’t even seen them; how could I have offended them?”
“Aotian, you’d better not provoke them. Their strength may not be at the very top, but even Mo Gang and the top three of the Inner Courtyard Rankings wouldn’t want to offend them.” Snow Qincheng’s expression turned somewhat serious as she spoke.
Aotian was slightly taken aback and then asked in confusion, “Xue Qingcheng, although they are extraordinary, their pills and weapons don’t provide much help to Spirit Realm Martial Artists. Why wouldn’t even the top three of the Inner Courtyard Rankings want to offend them?”
A hint of apprehension appeared in Snow Qincheng's eyes as she said, “He Dan and He Wu are twin brothers who share honor and disgrace. Offending one means offending both. Therefore, even the top three of the Inner Academy would rather avoid conflict with the He Brothers unless absolutely necessary.”
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn’t help but grow serious as well. Among the Inner Academy students, the pills and weapons crafted by the He Brothers were the most outstanding, and many students didn’t mind that the He Brothers owed them a favor.
Once it was known that someone had offended the He Brothers, many students would undoubtedly step forward to clear obstacles for them. At that time, those individuals could also justifiably request assistance from the He Brothers for refining pills or weapons.
Therefore, even the top three of the Inner Academy would not dare to provoke all the Students by offending the He Brothers.
"Aotian, why did you suddenly ask about the He Brothers?" Snow Qincheng asked curiously.
Aotian smiled and shared Ying Tianrui's suggestion with Snow Qincheng.
After learning about the whole situation, Snow Qincheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The two brothers of the He Family are very unruly. The Sky Garment Gang and the Ink Society have extended olive branches several times, but those two brothers have ignored them. Although you defeated Luxiong, getting those two to yield is quite difficult."
Hearing Snow Qincheng's words, Aotian still felt a bit unwilling and asked, "Is there really no other way?"
Snow Qincheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although those two brothers are unruly, they believe in repaying kindness with great gratitude. They owe me a favor; I can try to persuade them."
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but show great joy and said, "No matter if it works or not, let's give it a try..."
Within the inner courtyard of Xuantian Academy, there was a garden that was different from others. This garden was planted with many seeds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and various stones and metals were piled up everywhere.
When Aotian and Snow Qincheng stepped into the courtyard, they were both taken aback by the scene before them.
“Heavenly Pearl Grass, Snow Orchid, Stellar Iron, Red Copper Stone… These are all incredibly rare items in the outside world, yet there are so many here…”
Both Aotian and Snow Qincheng were filled with astonishment.
“Hehe, Sister Qincheng, it’s quite a rarity to see you at our brothers' place…”
Just as Aotian and Snow Qincheng were shocked by the scene before them, a somewhat delicate voice echoed in the courtyard.
Soon after, a slender figure slowly walked out from the inner room.
Aotian turned to look and saw that the newcomer had flawless skin, elegantly arched eyebrows, and delicate hands. From a distance, she looked very much like a woman.
However, the sharpness in her eyes made Aotian realize that although this person resembled a woman, her methods were likely more ruthless than those of an average man.
“Hehe, not bad, not bad. Sister Qincheng, you didn’t let us know you were coming in advance so we could come out to welcome you,” a strong voice then rang out.
Immediately, a robust figure appeared beside the slender figure.
This sturdy figure had a rugged appearance, with slightly bulging muscles on his arms, dark skin, and hands covered in calluses.
Snow Qincheng smiled slightly and pointed at the slender figure as she said to Aotian:
“This is He Dan, ranked eighth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings.”
Then, Snow Qincheng pointed to the robust figure and said:
"This is He Wu, who ranks ninth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings."
After introducing Aotian, Snow Qincheng then introduced Aotian to the He Family brothers.
Looking at the tall and thin pair, one black and one white, Aotian found it hard to believe. They didn't seem like brothers at all...
"Haha, so it's Aotian brother who has arrived. Aotian brother's name is probably known by everyone in Xuantian Academy now," He Wu said with a smile, patting Aotian on the shoulder in a familiar manner.
Aotian cupped his hands towards the two and said, "The He Brothers are also prominent figures in the academy; I am still lacking compared to you two."
He Dan, standing nearby, spoke softly, "May I ask what brings Aotian brother and Sister Qincheng to our humble abode?"
After exchanging a glance with Snow Qincheng, the latter spoke up, "To be honest with you two brothers, Aotian has established the Starry Radiance Society and would like to invite you both to lend your support..."
The He brothers had made quite a name for themselves in the academy, so it would be hard to believe that they didn't understand Snow Qincheng's implication.
Upon hearing Snow Qincheng's words, He Wu suddenly paused his hand on Aotian's shoulder, and his smile became somewhat stiff.
Meanwhile, He Dan still wore a smile, but there was an added layer of meaning behind it.
"Sister Qincheng, when my brother and I were saved by you, we owed you a favor. This time, you have taken our position in the Ranking, which means we are not as skilled as you. However, this does not mean we have repaid that favor. Normally, we should agree to your request to clear our debt, but as you know, my brother and I are used to freedom and do not like being constrained. So, I wonder if you could change your request," He Dan said to Snow Qincheng.
Upon hearing this, Snow Qincheng couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Do you two brothers need to think it over again?"
He Dan and He Wu exchanged glances and then spoke to Aotian, "Brother Aotian, it’s not impossible for me to join your Starry Radiance Society."
Aotian, who was initially filled with disappointment, suddenly perked up and said to the two of them, "Feel free to state any conditions. As long as I can provide it, I will definitely not hold back!"
"It's simple. Let's have a competition between us brothers. However, it won't be a martial arts contest; instead, it will be about artifact forging and alchemy. As long as you can defeat us both, from then on, my brother and I will be members of your Starry Radiance Society!"
"This..."
Currently, the Inner Courtyard Rankings show Wei Tianyi in third place, Mo Gang in fourth, Snow Qincheng in fifth, Aotian in sixth, Luxiong in seventy-third place, He Dan in eighth place, and He Wu in ninth place. I previously made a mistake; it has now been corrected. Apologies!
