The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 564 Dragon Pendant (1 jiao)

After the Xie family came to visit that day, Yun Yici and the others continued to stay at the restaurant.

Until the day before the trial, Xie's secret guards came to the door again, but this time they brought the trial token.

Both tokens are made of wood and are engraved with the ancient-style character "谢" (xie, meaning thank you).

The difference is that the characters on Xie Guanxuan's token are red, while those on Xie Qianjue's token are black.

The next day was a rare good day, with a gentle breeze and warm, pleasant weather.

Xie Guanxuan and Xie Qianjue went to the trial site together to report for duty.

Previously, the Xie family trials were not open to the public, but later, to ensure fairness and impartiality, they were made available to Xie family members free of charge.

As for other people who want to watch it up close, they need to have a certain status and position, and they also need to be invited by the Xie family.

Rong Xuan took Xie Sanshen's life tablet and gave the order to make an invitation for each of them.

Xie Sanjue was furious about the Xue family breaking off the engagement, so this little matter didn't even cause a ripple in his mind.

It's nothing more than another idiot taking a fancy to a beauty, and desperately trying to win her favor by accepting an invitation and becoming a sucker.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Xie Sanshen acted recklessly in Wangyou City, yet in Chaoyang City he was vying with him for a reputation for "wisdom," suppressing his lustful desires and trying to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.

So Yun Yici and the others took the invitation from the Xie family and entered the Xie family's training grounds openly and legitimately.

Thanks to Rong Xuan, they were seated in a location with an excellent view.

These spectator seats are soft, round, gold-threaded cushions, suspended in mid-air, for people to sit cross-legged in meditation.

What's even more wonderful is that these cushions can move around as the guests wish.

Of course, the Xie family members participating in the trials could not see these prayer cushions.

To prevent cheating, spectators are not allowed to intervene in the trial in any way.

Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Xie family on the spot.

Yun Yici and the others sat in a row on their prayer mats, while Lin Yu touched the floating prayer mat beneath her with a look of curiosity.

"This must be some kind of flying artifact. It's round, like a tortoise shell, but it's a pity it's a bit flat."

The emperor ordered him to sit cross-legged on one leg, with his other long leg hanging casually off the cushion.

He complained, "This is too small."

Yun Yici fell silent, recalling the imperial edict that allowed people to roll around on the large bed twenty times.

Shen Huaichuan glanced at the Xie family father and son on the screen: "It seems the marriage between the Xie family and the Xue family is not going well."

Yun Yici turned her head and saw Xie Sanjue, whose face was extremely ugly.

Rong Xuan manipulated Xie Sanshen and knew everything about the Xie family.

I told them a few days ago that the Xue family was considering changing the bride.

But that has nothing to do with them.

After the distinguished guests entered, the members of the Xie family entered one after another.

Xie Guanxuan was ranked seventeenth.

Yun Yici: "It seems they are arranged according to their cultivation level."

"But wouldn't it be unfair if the highest level is Nascent Soul and the lowest is Golden Core to participate in the trial together?"

After Yun Yici finished speaking, she released her divine sense and was surprised to find Xie Qianjue's aura underground!

"Oh no! I was just thinking that with Senior Brother Xie's cultivation level, he should be at the forefront, but I can't see him. He's underground."

She sensed that Xie Qianjue's breathing was steady and that he should be safe.

Even so, Yun Yici still dared not let her guard down, keeping her divine sense locked on Xie Qianjue, ready to rescue him should anything happen to him.

At this moment, the imposing young man in the light screen stepped forward; he was none other than Xie Yuanchen, the head of the Xie family.

His voice was loud and clear, like the sound of bells and chimes, penetrating the light screen and reaching everyone's ears.

"Distinguished members of the Xie family, today is the once-in-a-decade selection trial of our Xie family, and also a grand event for our Chaoyang City."

“My Xie family has been passed down for thousands of generations. The rise and fall of the family has never been tied to one person. You all have the same blood as me, so you should share the same fate.”

"Today is the time for you to prove yourselves, to prove that you can serve the family and have become qualified members of the Xie family!"

"This family trial will be overseen by me and the elders of the Xie family. The top five will be selected to remain in their positions as elders."

"As for other outstanding disciples, they can also seek a position under the elders."

"Pay attention to the wooden plaques in your hands. Cultivators of different levels will be teleported to different trial realms to complete their trials."

"You are responsible for any death or injury during the trial. If you wish to give up, you may crush the wooden plaque in your hand."

Seeing that Xie Yuanchen was about to announce the start of the trial, Xie Sanjue, who was standing to the side, twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Father, today’s trial is different from the past. This year, one person will participate in the bloodline trial.”

Even though it was his most beloved son, Xie Yuanchen couldn't help but frown when interrupted in public like this.

Didn't he have several elders supervise the blood test of that kid named Xie Qianjue yesterday so as not to delay today's formal trial?

In front of everyone, Xie Yuanchen couldn't bear to offend his son.

"Then let's begin with the bloodline trial."

Xie Sanjue gave a look to the guards, and the light screen immediately turned to Xie Qianjue.

The young man, dressed in white with dark hair, had a face as radiant as jade. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, yet he was not. He was truly a handsome man.

However, the words spoken by the guard opposite him were not so pleasant.

"Those who fail the bloodline trial are guilty of attempting to pollute the Xie family's bloodline and should be punished by slow slicing."

Xie Qianjue's lips twitched: "That's not what you said when you delivered the plaque to me yesterday."

Guard: "Abandoning the trial at this point will be considered a failure."

Xie Qianjue: "What if I pass the trial? Is there only punishment and no reward?"

The light screen transmitted his movements to the eyes of the Xie family members in real time.

Xie Guanxuan's heart clenched, and he secretly prayed that Xie Qianjue would be safe and sound.

In the scene, the guards did not engage Xie Qianjue, but instead brought out a tray from the shadows, with an invisible protective barrier surrounding the tray.

He waved his hand in the air, and the barrier opened, revealing the white "jade" in the center of the tray.

When that thing appeared, Xie Qianjue was stunned.

Yun Yici and the others held their breath and stared intently at the light screen.

Within Yun Yici's sleeve, the stone tortoise possessed by Xuanwu stirred.

Nine Dreams screamed wildly inside the light core: "What did they do to the last piece of light core?!"

That "jade" was clearly a corner of the light core, bright white and warm, but only the size of a fingernail.

"This is a piece of the Dragon Pendant. Drip your fingertip blood into it, and if you are a member of the Xie family, it will react."
