Chen Li and Shen Qingyue watched as their mother and the members of the Outer Family were thrown out, their eyes wide with anger and worry as they glared at Duan Tianxiao. Their youthful faces were filled with rage and concern.
Just moments ago, it was their mother who had blocked Duan Tianxiao's attack for them, and she must have been injured badly. The sight of so many onlookers at the door, especially the Outer Family treating them with such disdain and humiliation, only fueled the fire in Shen Qingyue and Chen Li's hearts.
Duan Tianxiao looked at the two of them with a hint of contempt in his eyes and sneered, "Two little beasts, showing some filial piety? Unfortunately, without the protection of your ancestor's Divine Soul, even if I were to kill you right now, what could you do about it?"
Shen Qingyue suddenly lifted her head, her large eyes blazing with fury as she gritted her teeth and said, "You old bastard, just wait! When I grow up, I'll make you taste this kind of bitterness!"
Duan Tianxiao burst into laughter as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Little girl, your words are quite bold! If you want to take revenge on Old Madam, you'd better see if you can even make it out of the Demon Spirit Abyss first!"
With that, he coldly commanded, "Bring them here!"
At that moment, two figures rushed in from a distance and appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye. These two were the other two elders who had presided over the bloodline test earlier—one was dressed in a blue robe with an ethereal presence, known as Qingyun Elder, while the other wore a purple robe and had a stern expression; he was Elder Zihua.
Qingyun Elder glanced at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, his brow slightly furrowing. He remembered their performance during the bloodline test well. Although he did not know why they lacked the protection of their ancestors, their talents were undeniable. With proper guidance at the Imperial Academy, they might one day become exceptional talents.
Thinking this over, he turned to Duan Tianxiao and said, "Duan Elder, they are just new students. If we punish them directly, I fear that Holy Emperor might take issue with it."
Elder Zihua chimed in as well, "Indeed. The academy's ranking competition is coming up soon. If Holy Emperor sees that there are two fewer students when he arrives, it wouldn't reflect well on us."
Upon hearing this, Duan Tianxiao's expression shifted between dark and light. Despite his high status within the academy, everyone in the Qian Sheng Empire had to obey Holy Emperor's orders.
There was an ancestral decree stating that the Imperial Academy was a crucial reserve for the empire; no one could dispose of its students lightly without facing punishment.
After pondering for a moment, he snorted coldly and said, "Fine. Since both elders are interceding for them, I'll spare their lives for now! After the competition ends, I will deal with both of you together!"
"Servant Disciple, arrange for them to stay at Cold Blossom Hall!"
"Yes!" A servant disciple in a gray robe quickly responded but cast a sympathetic glance at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Cold Blossom Hall was located at the northernmost part of the Imperial Academy. It was perpetually cold and harsh—a place specifically designated for punishing errant disciples.
Qingyun Elder and Elder Zihua sighed towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue but ultimately did not speak up again to stop it.
Under the guidance of the servant disciple, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue made their way to Cold Blossom Hall.
As soon as they stepped into Cold Blossom Hall, a bone-chilling cold rushed towards them, causing both to shiver uncontrollably.
Is this really Cold Blossom Hall? Why is it so cold? Shen Qingyue couldn't help but tremble and asked.
Cold Blossom Hall is shrouded in an ice formation year-round, with extremely low temperatures and thin Spiritual Energy, making it unsuitable for cultivation, the Servant Disciple explained. Please, come in.
With that, he turned and left.
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue entered Cold Blossom Hall and found it even more dilapidated than it appeared from the outside, with ruins scattered everywhere and a desolate scene.
Are we really going to stay here? Shen Qingyue looked at the surroundings, her small face scrunched up in displeasure.
There's nothing we can do; after all, we offended that old man, right? Chen Li sighed and said. But it's fine; it's just a bit cold and the Spiritual Energy is a little thin. I refuse to believe that with your Empress reincarnation, we won't find some peace here.
Shen Qingyue nodded. We need to start cultivating quickly. I can't match that old man's cultivation level for now!
Chen Li glanced around; Cold Blossom Hall was empty except for the crumbling walls and the cold wind. That old man is truly ruthless! He couldn't help but curse under his breath before finding a slightly cleaner corner to sit cross-legged and prepare for cultivation.
Shen Qingyue remained silent, merely snorting softly as she walked over to a relatively intact stone bed in the corner, sat down, closed her eyes, and began to operate the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Scripture.
As she channeled her technique, the surrounding Spiritual Energy began to converge towards Shen Qingyue. Although this Spiritual Energy was thin, under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Scripture, it surged into her body like rivers flowing into the sea.
If someone were to witness this scene, they would be astonished to see a massive divine phoenix phantom faintly emerging around Shen Qingyue's body. The divine phoenix's wings spread wide, blocking out the sky and radiating dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire Cold Blossom Hall.
At the same time, Chen Li also began to operate the Dragon Tiger Jade Liquid Scripture. Unlike Shen Qingyue, there were no extraordinary phenomena during Chen Li's cultivation; only a faint golden light surrounded him. This golden light flowed like liquid, continuously washing over his body and causing a subtle golden sheen to appear on his skin.
As time passed, the Spiritual Energy within both of them grew denser, and their Vital Energy became more vigorous. Even their bodies seemed to grow taller and more upright under the nourishment of this power without them realizing it.
In the dead of night, at the Imperial Academy, in the Elder's residence.
Inside a lavishly decorated room, Duan Tianxiao had just finished bathing, and two maidservants were carefully drying his body.
"Alright, you may leave," Duan Tianxiao waved his hand, signaling the two maidservants to step back.
"Yes, Elder." The two maidservants tidied their disheveled clothes, bowed respectfully, and then cautiously turned to leave the room.
Duan Tianxiao finally closed his eyes, preparing to rest. The events of the day, combined with his recent release of pent-up emotions, left him feeling somewhat fatigued.
Especially thoughts of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue troubled him greatly.
These two little brats possess formidable skills but are incredibly guarded. How can I extract their secrets?
Duan Tianxiao pondered silently, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
If you truly do not recognize kindness when it is offered, then do not blame Old Madam for being ruthless.
Lost in his thoughts, Duan Tianxiao did not notice an invisible Spirit Talisman suddenly piercing through the void, quietly appearing beside him.
