[Zhiwu City, Outer Domain]
"Put your hands on the crystal ball and empty your mind." The Fairy Palace, sixth Elder Qu, said kindly.
Huang Ying Yue arched her hand before putting her hands on the crystal ball. A moment later, the crystal ball shone with the scarlet light.
"Huang Ying Yue, the heavenly spiritual root of the fire element." Elder Qu nodded in satisfaction. Such a good child with a calm, humble, and respectful attitude, without any arrogance.
He felt pure breath from her. Elder Qu looked at Huang Ying Yue more; he had some favors for her.
The other elders also nodded. But because of Huang Wan Yan and Tan Zi Mo's shocking talent, they weren't shocked much this time to find out about another good seedling.
"What! Is she Huang Ying Yue, the rumored vicious and lustful Third Miss Huang?"
"How could it be her? I didn't remember her face, and her style looks like this!"
"Right! I thought she was someone else with the same name." A man touched his hair embarrassingly.
"Idiot! Who dares to use this name?" People glanced at the person in disdain.
Huang Ying Yue changed too much, and she rarely went out. People didn't know about her changes. They only used to 'Huang Ying Yue' with heavy make-up and fancy clothes, then she wore the shiny jewelry everywhere on her body.
Even so, who didn't know the cruel, lustful, and unreasonable Third Miss, Huang Wan Yan, in this city?
Now she was plain without any makeup or decoration on her clothes, yet her face was so beautiful and natural. Even so, they hated her personality.
People looked at her disgustingly as they cursed her, while a few people who witnessed her the day she helped Huang Wan Yan looked at her in shock.
Some people weren't afraid of her death and cursed her loudly, especially the young people from the top 4 families in the Outer Domain.
"Oh, I suspect who this is; didn't expect that this is the Third Miss Huang?" Tan Jun Li said it sarcastically. She was another victim that 'Huang Ying Yue' used to bully in the past because of her beauty.
"Oh my… Third, Miss Huang, don't you go visit the brothel today? I heard that, today, a charming slave arrived to serve the guess. That slave might suit your taste." Chen Li Bing glared at Huang Ying Yue's beautiful face and said it provokingly. Her beautiful face was distorted with jealousy when she knew that this was Huang Ying Yue, who had the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Chen Li Bing liked going to brothels to play with the beautiful men there. In the past, 'Huang Ying Yue' and Chen Li Bing competed for beautiful men in the brothel from time to time.
"That beautiful sister used to steal my candy, mother." A beautiful doll said, clinging to her mother tightly. Her face was full of fear.
Tan Zi Mo and several of his bodyguards who were hit by Huang Ying Yue that day were also taken aback. They never expected that the girl who was so strong and kind enough to stand up and protect the person who was called a child born from the beast that day was her, the rumored vicious 'Huang Ying Yue'.
Huang Ying Yue walked out of the platform and ignored everyone's eyes. Her face was expressionless, but inside, she was helpless.
How many enemies did this 'Huang Ying Yue' provoke? Men and women, young and old,'she' didn't even let go of the kids?
Brothel, steal the candy. Huang Ying Yue twitched her lips.
No matter what these people were thinking, she didn't care.
The girl didn't glance at anyone who scoffed at her in disgust or snorted at her coldly. She walked calmly without rushing, just like she was enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.
Everyone from the Inner Domain seemed to understand something, listening to people talking about Huang Ying Yue, but they didn't react much. This thing has nothing to do with them.
Instead, looking at the girl's potential and attitude toward dealing with the people who hate her, she wasn't the kind of person everyone talked about. Where is the lustful, lawless, and arrogant girl that they're talking about?
She was so humble and calm. Who can be calm in this situation? Elder Qu frowned and looked at everyone's hateful expression as if Huang Ying Yue had killed their family's members.
The secret guard listened to the bad words that everyone scolded her; he frowned and said nothing.
Huang Wan Yan's dull eyes turned cold as his breath turned gloomy. Are they scolding her?
The tip of his long and slender finger flashed with a red light. As long as he moved his finger, the people who talked badly about Huang Ying Yue would not end well.
At that moment, he suddenly felt her gentle breath. His gloomy breath vanished. He returned to his obedient and innocent appearance.
"I'm back," Huang Ying Yue said.
"Sister!" Huang Wan Yan came to hold her soft hand.
Huang Bai Xing looked at Huang Ying Yue deeply, as if Huang Ying Yue were her death enemy.
{If you're not my enemy, you deserve to be my comrade since you have such potential; unfortunately, you stepped on my bottom line again and again! Before you grow stronger, I'll make you disappear from this world.} Huang Bai Xing thought coldly.
Helan YuZe looked at Huang Ying Yue's expressionless face complicatedly.
If, in the past, she just heard a person scolding her, whether a kid or an old person, she'd order her guards to kill or beat that person into the mud. But now she behaved calmly, just like everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Her breath was still peaceful, as if nothing could affect her mood. Her eyes were clear; there was nothing as angry or gloomy.
It was as if the person that the people were scolding had nothing to do with her. Obviously, she was the one they scolded, yet she didn't fight back.
...
"That's all for today. As for those who have not yet tested the spiritual root, we will do it again tomorrow." The Golden Crescent Sword Sect, ninth Elder Mo, said this while looking at everyone sharply.
"Those who have already tested the spiritual root, go back to your family and pack up the stuff that you want to bring. We'll leave two days later for the Inner Domain." The Green Paradise Sect, fourth Elder Pei in the green robes, uttered while touching his long white beard.
"Don't be happy too soon for those who have spiritual roots. After arriving at the sect, you will go through another task. I hope that you'll perform well and don't disappoint us." The Grand Azure Sect, tenth Elder Ji, looked solemn.
His words suddenly made the youngsters, who were full of pride that they could finally go to the Inner Domain, turn cold like a bucket of water fell on them.
The nine righteous sects had the same rule: to bring people who are courageous to become stronger, not a good-for-nothing person who only has good talent but is timid and lazy. The good for nothing people will affect their sect's name.
