Chapter 1057 Luo Family Assessment
Meng Lanjun nodded solemnly. He had already sensed the threat posed by the array ahead. Fortunately, he was aware of Ranxi's mastery of arrays, so he followed closely behind her, afraid that he might make a wrong move and drag Ranxi down.

Immediately afterwards, the Luo family's elders, who were conducting the assessment, saw Yun Xi stroll leisurely into the gaps in the formation, precisely avoiding any possibility of stepping into the formation. They exchanged glances, and one of the elders spoke up:

"Isn't she cheating?"

"Where did they cheat? They were walking this way openly and honestly, just avoiding the set-up assessment formation."

"How can we know her strength if she avoids us?"

"His combat strength is indeed unpredictable, but his mastery of formations is clearly superior to Luo San's."

Elder Luo, who was called out, was not angry. He stroked his mustache and said:
"The Grand Elder is right. This woman's skill in array formations is indeed remarkable. She accurately found the gaps between array formations with just one glance and was able to advance without touching the formations. It seems that the array formations I set up still need improvement."

Moreover, it wasn't just her array formations; the visiting card she sent revealed that her weapon-refining skills were equally impressive.

Elder Luo was somewhat surprised that Luo San readily admitted that he was inferior in skill, as he knew that the third brother was usually the most unwilling to admit defeat.

Elder Luo Er, holding a pair of black jade walnuts in his hands, glanced at his eldest and third brothers and lazily spoke:

“It’s clear that you all admire Ranxi, but we invited this guest elder to enhance the combat power of the younger generation in our clan. Is it necessary to keep her here?”

The Sixth Elder, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke:
"Second brother, you didn't even see her make a move, how do you know she's weak?"

Elder Luo the Second kept spinning the black jade walnut in his hand, then looked at his sixth brother with a smile:
"Xiao Liu, when the others arrive, you should personally try it out. I'm just afraid you'll be too gentle and won't dare to use your full strength."

Elder Luo Liu glared at his second brother, annoyed by his teasing, and said:

"Second brother, showing tenderness to women should be done in a proper setting. This is to invite a senior elder to the family. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know what's important and what's urgent?"

Luo Er laughed and said:

"Then we'll see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunxi led Menglanjun smoothly through the array area and arrived at the entrance of the reception room.

Meng Lanjun followed closely behind Yun Xi until they were out of the dense array. He then saw Yun Xi put away the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella and slowly enter the reception room. He adjusted his expression, put on a faint smile, and followed half a step behind.

Upon entering the reception room, Yunxi saw four male immortals in black robes. The man sitting at the head of the table had a resolute face and was a mature and steady middle-aged man with strength at the Immortal Lord realm. His gaze towards her was full of inquiry.

Yun Xi bowed and said:
"My name is Ranxi. I just arrived in Luoxiao Immortal City not long ago. I heard that the Luo family is inviting a guest elder, so I dared to give it a try."

Elder Luo nodded and said:

"We received the invitation card sent by Ranxi, so we invited you to the Luo family as a guest. However, you avoided our assessment formation, which makes it impossible for us to judge your combat strength for the time being."

After hearing this, Yunxi pretended to suddenly realize something and said:

"I was truly ignorant; I thought we were to pass through the formation unscathed, so..."

He finished speaking with a slightly embarrassed smile. Elder Luo the Second said nonchalantly:

"It's alright. Being able to safely pass through the series of formations set up by your third brother proves that you have considerable skill in formations. You have a special skill. Even if your martial arts strength does not meet the standards for this recruitment, you can stay in the Luo family as a guest elder."

Yunxi smiled and nodded after hearing this:
"Thank you."

Luo San turned to his sixth brother beside him and said:

"Sixth Brother, test this Fairy Ranxi's skills, but stop when you've hit her."

Without saying a word, Luo Liu nodded and slipped away from the reception room to the open space in front of the hall.

Yunxi didn't expect the Luo family to be so decisive. She nodded to Meng Lanjun, leaving her in the reception room, and then she appeared opposite Luo Laoliu.

With a flick of his wrist, Luo Laosan took out an array plate. After casting a hand seal, Yunxi and Luo Liu were enveloped in a light shield. This was clearly to prevent the entire Luo family from being affected when the two fought. It should be noted that the strength of the two of them was at the Luo Tian Shangxian realm. They could raze this place to the ground with a single move. Such a protective array was necessary.

After the protective light shield closed, Yunxi smiled and cupped her hands in greeting:
"Please give me more advice."

Luo Liu nodded coldly, and in the next instant, he gripped a gleaming crescent-shaped blade in each hand and launched the first attack. Two arc-shaped blade shadows arrived in an instant and struck the surface of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella in Yun Xi's hand. Hei Yao was awakened by this attack and wandered uneasily on the surface of the umbrella, ready to counterattack at any time.

Yunxi lightly landed on the edge of the protective array, holding the Nether Dragon Umbrella. She calmed Heiyao, who was preparing to attack, and simply explained that this was not a battle but a friendly spar. Only then did Heiyao restrain his aura and slow down his movement on the umbrella.

Luo Liu, who launched the attack, showed caution in his eyes. This was not only because his opponent had steadily blocked his attack, which used half of his strength, but also because the spirit of his opponent's natal magic weapon was able to autonomously defend and attack.

He had seen it clearly just now. If Fairy Ranxi hadn't stopped him, the black dragon on the umbrella would have already attacked him. From the powerful aura emanating from it, he could tell that this black dragon was no mere decoration.

The other three elders of the Luo family also saw through the trick, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Luo Laosan stroked his small mustache and began to try to get information out of Meng Lanjun.

"How should I address this immortal? Are you friends with Fairy Ranxi? Or do you also wish to come to the Luo family as a guest elder?"

Menglan Jun stroked her blue robe and replied with a light smile:

"My name is Meng Lanjun. Ranxi and I are good friends. Not long ago, I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and prepared to go out to find an opportunity to break through. However, I am a bit soft-hearted. Ranxi was afraid that I would be bullied and was also worried about me training alone, so she agreed to go with me."

She finished speaking and gave a shy smile, leaving the other person with room for imagination.

Luo Er felt a pang of jealousy upon hearing this. Putting aside everything else, this person's cultivation was even above his elder brother's. He wondered who was protecting whom, but he figured the two were probably cultivation partners who were training together. However, since the other party hadn't admitted it, he couldn't say anything.

Just then, he heard a loud "bang," and then Luo Laosan said "Oh no!" The next moment, the protective light shield in front of the reception room shattered, and the aftershocks of the battle between the two rushed toward the reception room. The houses around the open space were about to be destroyed.

Boss Luo acted swiftly, containing the aftershocks of the attack within the open space in front of the hall, while Luo San quickly raised the protective shield over the courtyard, once again enveloping Yun Xi and Luo Liu within it.

At this moment, Yunxi held the Nine Nether Sword, looked at the consequences of her attack, and gave Luo Liu an awkward smile, saying:

"It was my misjudgment. Do you think we should continue?"
