Xin Huanyan nodded slightly, "Go. Act immediately."
Following this, all the Shadow Guards dispersed, positioning themselves throughout the Xin Family Fortress to monitor all the young talents gathered for the Genius Assembly.
In a garden within the Xin Family Fortress, over twenty handsome men and beautiful women were assembled.
These individuals were all gorgeously dressed and of noble standing, seated amongst pavilions and terraces, enjoying the service and flattery of the Xin Family's maids.
In addition to these young talents, many elders were also present, appearing to be family elders of these young talents or senior figures invited from other sects.
At a secluded seat near a corner, Luo Fei's eyes were dazed, his mind uneasy. He whispered to Mo Qian beside him, "Why hasn't the boss arrived yet? Did something happen?"
"Don't panic. With Xin Ci's strength, he shouldn't be easily captured by the Xin family," Mo Qian said calmly.
He knew Xin Ci's power. Back in Stone Forest Valley, even the Great Emperor-level Overlord Bull Nether God was no match for Xin Ci.
"That guy better not mess up my plans."
Shi Er Luoyue snorted from the side.
Shi Er Luoyue had finally managed to secure this opportunity to enter the Xin family. She absolutely could not allow Xin Ci to jeopardize her chance for revenge.
Because she was also on the Xin family's wanted list, Shi Er Luoyue had to disguise herself as a suave, white-haired young master and sat next to Luo Fei.
Just as the three of them were discussing Xin Ci, two familiar figures appeared in their line of sight.
They were Liu Mu Ming from the Liu Mu family and Bai Ting from the Bai family.
Upon seeing familiar faces, Liu Mu Ming's eyes lit up instantly. He excitedly walked over to greet them, "Little Fatty, Brother Mo Qian, and..."
Liu Mu Ming had initially thought the person with Luo Fei and Mo Qian was Xin Ci, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was an unfamiliar white-haired man.
Looking at Shi Er Luoyue, Liu Mu Ming felt she was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Seeing Liu Mu Ming's eyes constantly fixed on Shi Er Luoyue, Bai Ting's heart flared with anger. She reached out and pinched his soft flesh, saying coquettishly, "What are you looking at? What's so good about another guy?"
"Nothing, I just thought he looked familiar," Liu Mu Ming said, rubbing his waist aggrievedly.
"Hmph!"
Bai Ting glared at him displeasantly, then turned her gaze to Shi Er Luoyue, only to find Shi Er Luoyue was also staring at her.
However, from Shi Er Luoyue's eyes, Bai Ting sensed a strong killing intent.
This white-haired young master seemed to harbor a deep hatred towards her and Liu Mu Ming!
Although Bai Ting didn't understand why Shi Er Luoyue was so hostile towards them at first glance, she still introduced herself friendly, "Hello, I'm Bai Ting."
But all she received in response was indifference and silence.
Shi Er Luoyue turned her head away and snorted disdainfully, "Sorry, I don't have a good impression of anyone from the Four Great Families. If you understand, then get lost."
"What do you mean? How did I offend you?"
Bai Ting's anger was immediately ignited. How could this white-haired brat be so arrogant, not putting her and Liu Mu Ming in his eyes?
Unexpectedly, Shi Er Luoyue glanced at her coldly again and said, "I'm not targeting you specifically, but all members of the Four Great Families!"
This statement not only offended Bai Ting but also all the other disciples from the Four Great Families present.
Numerous pairs of eyes swept towards Shi Er Luoyue, filled with displeasure and anger.
"What an arrogant brat, daring to look down on the Four Great Families!" a young talent with a fiery temper roared in their direction.
As he spoke, others also began to clamor.
"Exactly, who do you think you are, you white-haired kid!"
"Utterly arrogant to the extreme! How could such an conceited youngster be invited to this year's Genius Assembly!"
"He insulted his friends present. We must teach this kid a lesson."
...
The commotion stirred by Shi Er Luoyue also attracted the attention of the older generation present.
An elder from the Bai family, who was invited, frowned in displeasure. "That young man is far too arrogant. How can a mere youngster slander the reputation of the Four Great Families?"
"Brother Bai speaks wisely. That white-haired brat must be taught a lesson," a Saint Emperor expert from the Liu Mu family agreed.
Others chimed in, unanimously agreeing that Shi Er Luoyue needed to be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of their Four Great Families lie!
At this moment, a deep voice came from a certain seating area, "Everyone, let the youngsters resolve their own matters. Why should we interfere?"
Upon hearing this, the Bai family elder, who had been somewhat displeased, turned to see who was in that seating area and immediately quieted down, offering no further objections.
"Ming Huang, and Dao Huang are also here!"
"These two lords are actually here too!"
Seeing that the people in the seating area were Ming Huang Shen Wei and Dao Huang Dao Yuan Ming, others dared not speak further.
Ming Huang Shen Wei and Dao Huang Dao Yuan Ming were invincible existences among Saint Emperors.
Especially Ming Huang Shen Wei, his combat power was comparable to a one-star Great Emperor.
Such distinguished figures had come to the Genius Assembly venue.
Shen Wei looked at Shi Er Luoyue and the others and asked Dao Yuan Ming beside him leisurely, "Did that kid return?"
"Why ask me? How would I know?"
Dao Yuan Ming naturally knew that Shen Wei was referring to Xin Ci, but he glanced towards Shi Er Luoyue's seating area and did not find Xin Ci.
However, it made sense. The Xin family was currently pursuing that kid.
Xin Ci would naturally not show himself.
Shen Wei glared at Dao Yuan Ming with annoyance, "You old gambler, you don't even care about your academy's disciples. Why don't you give that kid to me as a disciple?"
"Dream on, you sly old fox. You're clearly jealous that my Four Symbols Academy has so many geniuses and want to poach my academy's disciples. Just say it directly," Dao Yuan Ming scoffed.
"Give me a break. Your Four Symbols Academy, I've never seen you, the dean, go back to look after it. How are your genius disciples related to you?" Shen Wei pouted.
The two continued to bicker as usual, but they still quietly observed the situation at Shi Er Luoyue's seating area.
At this moment, the atmosphere between Shi Er Luoyue and Bai Ting was charged with hostility, on the verge of a fight.
Luo Fei and Liu Mu Ming were both humbly trying to mediate.
Liu Mu Ming approached Bai Ting with a smiling face, trying to appease her, "Little Tingting, calm down first. You won't be pretty if you keep getting angry."
"Luoyue, let's not forget the task boss gave us. It's best not to cause conflict. Besides, Liu Mu Ming and Bai Ting are our own people. There's no need to fight our own."
However, both of their attempts at persuasion yielded the same result.
That is, Shi Er Luoyue and Bai Ting shouted in unison, "Get lost!"
Liu Mu Ming and Luo Fei could only exchange glances and shake their heads helplessly.
As a direct descendant of the Bai family, Bai Ting could not tolerate this insult. She puffed out her chest, pointed at Shi Er Luoyue in front of her, and declared loudly, "If you have the guts, how about a match with me?"
