"Don’t say anymore!" Father Yuan’s face hardened as he spoke coldly. Daring to harm his daughter and not being punished already showed mercy on his part.
"Father, just let them admit their wrong, after all, they are the friends of third brother," Yuan Yu’er spoke up from the side. Song Yan Ning could leave, but she did not want Qin Yushen to go.
Yuan Yixiu looked at Yuan Yu’er in wonder. Why was she helping his friends?
"Yuan Yixiu, we shall meet again!" Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning gave Yuan Yixiu a cupped fist salute, then turned and walked out of the study.
"Qin Yushen, Song Yan Ning." Yuan Yixiu hurriedly followed the two of them.
Father Yuan was slightly surprised. He thought that Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning would at least argue in their defense.
Yuan Yu’er also didn’t expect Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning to turn and leave so abruptly. After all, securing a spot in the Spiritual Realm was not easy. But their leaving was of no concern—so long as they remained inside Fengyan City, they couldn’t escape the palm of her hand.
"Qin Yushen, Song Yan Ning, where are you going?" Yuan Yixiu caught up to the two, looking at them reluctantly. He wanted to make them stay, but he knew that Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning were proud people who would never agree to it.
"We’re going to the Spiritual Realm," Song Yan Ning said with a smile. Now that they knew of the Spiritual Realm, how could they miss such an opportunity?
"But you don’t have the entry spots. How will you go?" Yuan Yixiu felt somewhat guilty; he had promised them spots to the Spiritual Realm, but now he could not provide them. If his father intended to drive out Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, how could he possibly give them the spots?
"We have our ways. See you in the Spiritual Realm." Qin Yushen summoned his flying sword, and once he and Song Yan Ning leapt onto it, they quickly soared into the sky, soon disappearing from view.
Yuan Yixiu retracted his gaze and sighed deeply. His father would definitely regret this decision. If they had kept Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, he believed the Yuan Family could possibly have placed in the top fifty this time. Then, the next time they entered the Spiritual Realm, his family would have had more than fifty spots available.
Yuan Yu’er walked out from the council hall with her head held high and a look of triumph, "Why? Can’t bear to see them go?"
Yuan Yixiu shot Yuan Yu’er a cold glare and turned to leave. He was determined to grow stronger, so that he would never be bullied by anyone again, and to ensure the family would never underestimate him. This opportunity in the Spiritual Realm was an excellent chance for him.
Yuan Yu’er smiled indifferently. What she needed to do now was to send someone to intercept Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen landed in a small town near the Spiritual Realm.
Stepping into the small town, they saw it bustling with activity.
Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning entered a shop.
"Welcome, customers! What would you like to buy? Our shop has everything you could wish for and will ensure your satisfaction," the shop assistant said with an enthusiastic face.
"Do you have any entry spots for the Spiritual Realm for sale?" Qin Yushen asked in a calm voice.
"We do not have those..." the shop assistant admitted with an embarrassed smile.
"Do you know where we might find any on sale?" Song Yan Ning handed a Mid-grade Spirit Stone to the shop assistant.
The shop assistant took the Spirit Stone from Song Yan Ning, quickly pocketing it, and said cheerfully, "If you go out from here and keep walking, about three hundred meters or so, you’ll see an auction house. Today, they just happen to have spots for the Spiritual Realm on auction, though I heard there are only ten spots available."
"Thank you!" Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen exited the shop and headed toward the auction house.
