Mythical Luo, starting with the fox spirit

"Let's all cheer each other on!" Yang Ping'an stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of everyone, encouraging them.

"Go for it!" Yang Yitan, Wang Quanba, Wang Quanzui and others stretched out their right hands and put them together, shouting in unison.

……

On the city wall, the heads of various powerful families were also conversing.

"This generation of younger generations is truly remarkable," Old Master Yang remarked with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, we didn't expect them to really surprise us, and they just kept popping up one after another." The head of the Li family leaned on the wall with both hands, looking at Yang Ping'an and the others who were chatting intimately in the square, and echoed.

"This year's Blue Sky Conference has unearthed so many geniuses; this is the first time in the history of the Dao Alliance." Old Master Yang was very satisfied that Yang Ping'an and Yang Yitan were able to get along amicably with the geniuses from other families in the Dao Alliance.

"With the emergence of these talented younger generations, it seems that our Dao Alliance will also usher in a rise." The Ji family representative was very pleasantly surprised by the results of this Blue Sky Conference.

"Hmph! What geniuses? They're just a bunch of arrogant brats who don't know their own limitations." The head of the Xiao family said with a gloomy face, because once again, not a single junior member of the Xiao family was able to see through the secret technique.

The conversation between Old Master Yang and the Li family head was seen by the Xiao family head as a mockery of himself.

He worried that after his death, Yang Ping'an and others would grow up and become heads of various families, but no one from the Xiao family would be able to carry the Xiao family banner or hold onto the position of Black Obsidian Inspector that he had risked his life to obtain.

"What kind of genius is a genius who can't grow up? Back then, Wang Quan Wu Mu was also known as the number one genius of the Dao Alliance, but what happened to him..." The head of the Xiao family said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Lord Xiao, I advise you not to harbor any wicked thoughts." Upon hearing his words, Old Master Yang believed that the head of the Xiao family was plotting to harm the geniuses of various families, and warned him.

"That's right, Lord Xiao, you mustn't make a mistake." The Li family head, also worried that the Xiao family head might resort to underhanded tactics, threatened him:

"Otherwise, if any of my sons disappear one day, I'll be the first to make you pay."

The heads of various powerful families on the city wall all stared warily at the head of the Xiao family.

"Hmph! I am devoted to the public good and would not stoop to attacking juniors." Upon seeing this, the head of the Xiao family forced a smile onto his face, cupped his hands towards the sky, and made his stance clear.

"I hope Lord Xiao will remember what he said today." The Ji family representative did not believe what the Xiao family head said, as the Xiao family did not have a good reputation among the Dao Alliance families.

Since the Xiao family obtained the position of Obsidian Inspector, they have used various means to target other aristocratic families, thereby demonstrating the power and status of the Obsidian Inspector and firmly grasping the power to elect and appoint inspectors, making the Obsidian Inspector a tool in the hands of the Xiao family.

"Hmph!" The conversation fell apart, and the head of the Xiao family, with a gloomy expression, snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The head of the Xiao family was furious. He had already made it clear that he would not make a move against Yang Ping'an and the other younger generation, but those old fogies were still relentlessly pursuing him.

On the city tower, the heads and representatives of various powerful families watched with cold eyes as the head of the Xiao family departed.

"In my opinion, that old fellow surnamed Xiao doesn't seem like the type to let this go easily," Old Master Yang said solemnly to everyone. "We still need to be careful about the children's safety."

"I will carefully investigate the Xiao family's movements after I return, and I will not give them any opportunity to take advantage of me." Faced with the threat from the Xiao family head, the Ji family representative also made a serious statement.

"Yes, we should exchange intelligence more often in the future to prevent these children from falling into the hands of the Xiao family." The head of the Li family took the initiative to suggest that all families share information.

"Then it's settled." Old Master Fei smiled and finalized the cooperation between the families.

Everyone on the city wall knew that protecting Yang Ping'an and the others was just one of the reasons that led to their cooperation.

Another reason is that the Black Obsidian Inspector, controlled by the Xiao family, has become increasingly aggressive in recent years, relentlessly targeting various powerful families like a mad dog, causing them considerable trouble.

"It's getting late, and it might be too late for you all to return now. Why don't you stay overnight at my Wangquan Manor?" After reporting that the cooperation had been reached, Elder Fei of Wangquan smiled and invited the representatives of the noble families to stay at Wangquan Manor for one night.

"We appreciate Mr. Fei's kindness, but we have many matters to attend to at home, so there's no need to trouble you with our hospitality," the Ji family representative, the Zhang family head, and others declined.

"In that case, I wish you all a safe journey." After being politely declined by everyone, Wang Quanfei knew that no one had much free time, so he could only offer his blessings.

"Goodbye." The group said goodbye to each other.

Representatives of the various families descended from the city tower and came to the square, calling out to their younger relatives.

"Huaizhu, we're leaving." As Old Master Dongfang Guyue walked out of the city tower, he saw his daughter standing next to Yang Ping'an, chatting and laughing with him.

"Brother Yang, see you next time." Dongfang Huaizhu said goodbye to Yang Ping'an after hearing Dongfang Guyue's call.

"Big brother, remember to come visit me!" Dongfang Qinlan was reluctant to say goodbye to Yang Ping'an. "Of course, I would be even happier if you could bring me some food."

Clearly, Dongfang Qinlan was more reluctant to part with the candied hawthorns that Yang Ping'an had brought.

"Goodbye, I'll come find you." Yang Ping'an patted Dongfang Qinlan's head and smiled as he said goodbye to Dongfang Huaizhu.

"Goodbye, big brother!" Dongfang Qinlan grabbed her sister's hand and ran towards Dongfang Guyue. "Father, your lovely daughter is about to starve to death."

"Really? I've been watching you eat the whole time, without stopping at all," Dongfang Guyue asked with a smile, taking Dongfang Qinlan's other hand in hers.

"Hmm, you must have seen wrong. I don't care, I want to eat something delicious." Dongfang Qinlan didn't expect that Dongfang Guyue would see her eating snacks.

"Haha, okay. I'll take you out for a big meal." Dongfang Guyue was enjoying a rare moment of relaxation with her two daughters.

"Yay, I want roast chicken, roast..." Dongfang Qinlan happily rattled off a string of dishes after hearing Dongfang Guyue's promise.

"Hey, stop looking, that girl has already gone far away." As the number of people in the square gradually decreased, Yang Yitan reached out and poked Yang Ping'an's waist, pulling him out of his reverie with a smile.

As Yang Yitan spoke, he raised his hands and placed them on his forehead, looking in the direction Yang Ping'an was looking.

"Get lost, you don't understand. This is love at first sight. A winner in life like you can't understand my feelings." Yang Ping'an shoved the goofy Yang Yitan in an annoyed tone.

"I think you just fell for Miss Dongfang at first sight and even bribed her sister with my candied hawthorns," Yang Yi quipped.

At this point, Yang Yitan suddenly remembered Yang Ping'an's promise to help him get rid of those candied hawthorns. "You didn't plan this all along, did you?"

"You know too much. It seems I can't let you live." Yang Ping'an made a gesture as if his secret had been exposed, ready to eliminate the guy who knew his secret.

"Hey, you're not serious, are you?" Yang Yitan swallowed hard when he saw Yang Ping'an's deep eyes.

"Hahaha~, Yang Yitan, you've been fooled by me again!" Yang Ping'an smiled again. Seeing that Yang Yitan was frightened by him, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. After speaking, he ran towards Old Master Yang.

"Yang Ping'an, you stop right there!" Yang Yitan realized he had been tricked when he heard Yang Ping'an's laughter.

Yang Ping'an pushed himself out of the car, unaware that he would buy so many candied hawthorns, and even less aware of who would be attending the Blue Sky Conference.
