An Mingyuan patted his chest and said, "Understood, young master! Leave this to our three friends, we guarantee it will be done perfectly!"

Zhu Wuneng suddenly laughed: "Keep it up, rammed earth team!"

An Mingyuan immediately retorted, "As if you're not a country bumpkin!"

Qiu Qingquan interjected wittily, "His martial soul has the earth attribute, and now he's having a lot of fun playing with fire!"

Zhu Wuneng retorted, "Tch! What do you know! My fifth soul skill is now Water!!"

An Mingyuan retorted without any politeness: "Come on! You're just lacking the element of earth in your Five Elements, you can't stand steadily, you're a complete idiot!"

Zhu Wuneng snorted, "Bah! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

An Mingyuan immediately seized on the opportunity: "Oh ho! Then show me some ivory!"

Just as Zhu Wuneng was about to jump up and retort, he glanced to the side and saw Big Yellow gnawing on a bone next to him, its dog eyes glancing over.

He immediately swallowed his words and shrugged awkwardly.

After a few people laughed and joked around for a while, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard again.

When Chen Xiaojun saw that it was Chen Mu and Dugu Fu who had returned, he called out.

Chen Mu and the others walked in, and everyone greeted them with laughter and chatter.

Chen Xiaojun asked, "How did the competition go today?"

Chen Shurui eagerly answered, his tone tinged with excitement: "Today, hey! Yesterday, my sister-in-law was crowned champion on the field, which terrified Blackwood Academy."

"They probably thought their sister-in-law would still be playing today, so they chickened out and fielded an all-substitute lineup. As a result, we swept them off the field in no time."

"Haha, easy and enjoyable!"

Chen Xiaojun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that seemed to indicate he had expected it.

Nine days have passed since the attack on the Chen family. Many team members have recovered well from their injuries, which are considered minor and they are able to play.

With Liu Ruyan, Chen Ze, and Gu Wuyan in charge, even if Blackwood Academy fields their main players, the Chen family team can still win.

Chen Mu chimed in, speaking more cautiously: "The other matches were quite fierce. It's the final round, after all. They're vying for the top eight spots and competing for the overall rankings of the seven divisions. It all comes down to this one hurdle."

"The fiercest battle was between Oasis Academy and Nine Heavens Team, where the members of the Body Sect were present."

He chuckled, "His original martial soul was defeated by the Nine Heavens Sword Formation."

Chen Xiaojun nodded: "Yes, those few from the Body Sect were recently defeated by Xiaoyi, and their injuries probably haven't fully healed yet. Plus, they're not good at combination techniques, so it's not surprising that they lost to the exquisite Nine Heavens Sword Formation."

Chen Bin chimed in, grinning, "Hey, Fifth Brother was so happy to see Brother Shanwei get humiliated and lose!"

Chen Xiaojun then asked, "What about the other teams in our Fasno region? How were their matches today?"

Chen Mu counted on his fingers:

"Wushan Academy defeated Thunder; Yue Si Academy revealed a card, Zhu Mobai from the Ping An Team. Goodness, the Zhu siblings, one on each side."

"Xuanhuang Academy lost to Haotian Sect's Tianshan team. They couldn't outlast them. Bai Ruoyu and Bai Ruoyu were too fast, disrupting Xuanhuang's rhythm." "As for Qinglin Academy," he said with a hint of regret, "Yang Yanlang was injured, and Shen Li held off the Blood Spear Formation for him for three days. Today, the opponent saw through their weakness and they lost to Tianshui's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Phoenix."

"Finally, it's Tianling Academy. They beat Moon Bay Team! This point was crucial; it's a significant achievement for our region in the overall rankings against the Tosk region!"

…………

Chen Xiaojun bid farewell to his friends and returned alone to his quiet courtyard.

The summer night was as still as water, and all was quiet, but he was wide awake, even though it was only seven o'clock in the evening.

The lingering fatigue in my body and the events of the day intertwined and entangled in my mind.

There are so many things to do, so many things to keep to themselves.

He paced back and forth for a moment, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the neighboring courtyard—where Xiaoyi lived, a place called "Moon Shadow Residence."

This is already the independent courtyard that the Chen family has prepared for her in the three locations, which also demonstrates her unchanging identity.

Chen Xiaojun let out a soft breath and stepped out of his courtyard.

In the darkness of night, the windows of the small dressing room shone with a warm, dim light.

However, before he even reached the door of the side room, the carved wooden door creaked open.

A familiar and gentle figure walked out, carrying an empty medicine bowl in her hand; it was Ye Xiuxin.

"Mother?" Chen Xiaojun was somewhat surprised and stopped in her tracks. "What are you doing here?"

Ye Xiuxin looked up and saw him, giving him a disapproving glare, her tone tinged with reproach: "Hmph, you still know to come over? Shouldn't you pay more attention to your own wife?!"

"Ruyin was worried and came to tell me that Xiaoyi slept for a whole day and night and couldn't be woken up no matter what she did. You're too carefree!"

Chen Xiaojun was immediately a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yi fell asleep in the carriage yesterday and hasn't woken up since.

Although Ye Xiuxin came to see Xiaoyi yesterday (mainly because Xiaoyi's injury hadn't fully healed before), she said the problem wasn't too serious.

Xiao Yi hadn't woken up yet this morning, and Chen Xiaojun assumed that she was just too physically and mentally exhausted—after all, Xiao Yi had a history of sleeping for three days and three nights due to exhaustion.

In addition, Ye Xiuxin has been busy treating the Chen family members who were injured in the attack on the Black Nether Legion since last night (including Chen Zhang, the seriously injured were transferred here), and she is too busy to spare any more time, so Chen Xiaojun did not bother his mother.

Hearing her son's explanation, Ye Xiuxin's expression softened slightly, but the seriousness between her brows did not disappear.

She sighed, "Never mind. I just checked her over carefully again."

Chen Xiaojun's heart immediately jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "How is she now? Is something wrong?"

Ye Xiuxin frowned, carefully choosing her words: "My physical condition... is relatively stable, and I'm currently repairing myself. My soul power and mental strength are showing signs of slow recovery, which is good news. But..."

She paused, then looked up at her son intently. "Her 'Soul Nest' has closed again. The entrance is tightly shut, and I have no way of knowing what's inside."

"It's closed again?!" Chen Xiaojun's heart sank, and a chill instantly ran down his spine.

He immediately recalled the awe-inspiring scene on the field yesterday—the ancient aura that originated from blood and shook the soul when the seven vines of Xiaoyi gathered together.

Others might not have noticed, but he clearly felt at that moment that the power of the deity residing in the depths of Xiao Yi's soul nest and sea of ​​consciousness—Shao ​​Siming—had been activated!
Moreover, deep within his own sea of ​​consciousness, the black and red cocoon that was the deity—the Great Master of Fate—formed by the system or a spiritual treasure, and which seemed to have existed since time immemorial, also fluctuated almost imperceptibly.
