Around them, there was a profound silence.
The flames of light and shadow gradually dissipated, and the enormous phantom of the phoenix vanished into the void, becoming nothingness.
Shen Qingyue slowly withdrew her hand, her delicate fingers glistening in the sunlight like exquisite jade, translucent and radiant. She lifted her gaze and cast a faint look towards the Testing Platform.
"Hey, Chen Li, hurry up!"
Chen Li's expression remained calm, correcting her as he always did, "Call me Brother; it's impolite!"
This girl always seemed to forget to address him properly, making him expend unnecessary effort to remind her.
Shen Qingyue pouted, turning her little face aside as her gaze fell upon the crowd around them. Those prominent figures from noble families who had previously looked down on her were now wide-eyed and speechless, as if they had seen a ghost.
The coldness on her face deepened.
The bloodline test was nothing extraordinary. Her clear voice rang out like pearls falling onto a jade plate—crisp and pleasant but imbued with absolute confidence. The sound echoed throughout the Testing Platform.
Below the Testing Platform, there was complete silence. Many people turned their attention to the group from the Wuding Marquisate, their eyes gleaming with excitement as if they were about to witness a spectacle.
No one had expected that one of the two so-called "useless" individuals abandoned by the Wuding Marquisate would awaken the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline!
It should be noted that the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline was not inferior to the Celestial Dragon Bloodline in terms of innate talent! Especially since its bloodline form was nearly tangible—this was something that hadn't been seen in the capital for many years!
In an instant, countless gazes filled with envy and jealousy turned towards Shen Qingyue.
Shen Zhentian and others watched this scene with mixed feelings of joy and concern. They were thrilled by Shen Qingyue's extraordinary talent; with proper cultivation, she would undoubtedly achieve great heights in time!
Especially with such talent, she would surely be able to enter the Imperial Academy for training, and perhaps even catch the eye of a powerful Cultivation Sect that might take her under their wing—it was not out of the question.
Those who had previously favored Chen Ming now halted their movements, their anxious expressions fading as if they had learned to think anew.
Outside the Testing Platform, Chen Yuantu's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.
Beside him, Xu Yan'er and her mother, Zhou, both turned abruptly to look at Shen Qingyue, their eyes filled with an unbelievable madness. Xu Yan'er's nails nearly dug into her palm, her gaze as fierce as if she wanted to devour someone. She never expected that the illegitimate child born of Shen Wanzhou would display such a powerful innate talent!
At that moment, some members of families with little connection to the Wuding Marquisate also turned their attention toward them. Many spoke with undisguised mockery. Who would have thought such a remarkable innate bloodline would be expelled from the Wuding Marquis's residence? What a waste!
Who could argue with that? If this were in our Liu Family, this lord would have cherished the person like a precious gem long ago.
Chen Yuantu, already not weak in cultivation, felt even more displeased upon hearing this. He coldly glanced toward Shen Qingyue and Chen Li, forcibly suppressing the disgust within him. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Shen Qingyue, his tone laced with a hint of flattery and probing. "Shen Qingyue, your innate conditions are quite good. If you are willing to recognize Xu Yan'er as your mother, this lord could restore your status and grant you the honor of being the legitimate daughter of the marquis's residence. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue looked at Chen Yuantu as if he were a fool. She deliberately cleared her throat and said to Chen Li, "Brother, did you hear that? There's a fool here dreaming big." Her tone was calm, but her words seemed laced with poison.
Chen Li's face broke into a faint smile at her words. Around the Testing Platform, many heads of families who stood on equal footing or even higher than Chen Yuantu couldn't help but burst into laughter. This little girl is truly amusing!
Chen Yuantu's expression stiffened, his anger boiling within him as a flicker of malice crossed his eyes. However, it was the day of bloodline testing, and there were too many people around. He couldn't afford to lose his temper in front of so many witnesses.
"Shen Qingyue! It seems your shameless mother has forgotten to teach you any manners!"
Just as Chen Yuantu was about to say more, he was abruptly pulled back by Zhou.
Zhou's face was plastered with a false smile, her wrinkled skin nearly crumpling together.
She looked at Shen Qingyue and feigned gentleness as she said, "Shen Qingyue, your father is doing this for your own good. How can you speak to him like that?"
For my own good?
Shen Qingyue let out a cold laugh, her gaze icy as it swept over Chen Yuantu and Zhou.
How could I forget that it was Wuding Hou who drove my mother away and severed ties with us?
I have just awakened the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, and now you want to acknowledge me. Are you here to recognize me or my talent?
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, yet it pierced through Chen Yuantu and Zhou's hearts like an ice pick.
Being so young, she spoke so earnestly, shattering Chen Yuantu and Zhou's facade in an instant, leaving their faces flushed with embarrassment.
Zhou's expression changed; she could no longer maintain her pretense.
Her old face turned a deep shade of liver color, trembling with rage as she raised her hand to teach Shen Qingyue a lesson.
"You little wretch, shut your mouth!"
But just as her hand was about to fall, it met Shen Qingyue's cold, piercing gaze.
That look was not something a child should possess.
Her large eyes held a chilling coldness that was completely unbefitting of her age.
Zhou felt as if her very soul was freezing; the anger in her heart was instantly extinguished by fear. Her hand froze in mid-air, unable to come down.
Chen Yuantu's expression was no better; the murderous intent in his eyes had solidified into something tangible.
If it weren't for the situation, he would not hold back.
Yet he was an old fox who had navigated the political arena for years; he quickly quelled his anger and buried the murderous intent deep within his eyes.
"Heh, Shen Qingyue, you certainly have a sharp tongue!" Xu Yan'er, standing nearby, covered her mouth with a cold laugh, her eyes brimming with disdain.
Do you really think that just because you've awakened the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline you can soar to greatness? Let me tell you, if you want to become a formidable force and a true powerhouse of the Qian Sheng Empire, you're still far from it!
She regarded Shen Qingyue with icy disdain, her tone dripping with contempt. Without resources or strength, and burdened by the trash luck of the Shen Family ancestors, what can a little girl like you achieve?
You're nothing but an ungrateful wretch!
Shen Qingyue watched Xu Yan'er jump around in front of her like a clown, her face showing no signs of disturbance.
"What? Are you jealous?" Her tone was indifferent, yet each word struck deep.
"You!" Xu Yan'er was hit where it hurt by Shen Qingyue's words, her complexion shifting between shades of green and white. She pointed at Shen Qingyue, furious. "You little wretch, just wait! Once my son merges with the ancestral bloodline and fortune, I will make sure to teach your mother a lesson on manners!"
