"Xiao Ziyan, where are you?"

The sound that pierced through the void trembled in everyone's eardrums, causing their hearts to surge with boundless waves. These ultimate warriors have come for Xiao Ziyan?

This...

No one would have thought that these Saint Heaven Realm experts would descend here tonight for Xiao Ziyan, and even more puzzling is, how do they know Xiao Ziyan?

Where do these people come from?

Swish swish swish~

In an instant, everyone's gaze focused on Xiao Ziyan, seemingly trying to see through her. However, they were destined to be disappointed, for they saw bewilderment on her strikingly beautiful face. Clearly, even Xiao Ziyan herself doesn't understand why these people would call her name.

Confusion.

This sudden shocking scene has left everyone confused, seemingly unable to believe it. After all, those people in the void are the rumored Saint Heaven Realm experts, any one of whom could wipe out a powerful Ancient Martial Clan with a mere raise of a hand.

Yet this night, they have all come for Xiao Ziyan.

Why is this?

The crowd was puzzled and didn't understand, does Xiao Ziyan really have some connection with them?

Xiao Yuanshan and Duanmu Lanshan also showed a hint of shock in their eyes as they looked at Xiao Ziyan beside them, clearly unable to understand why this was happening.

Since when did Xiao Ziyan know such formidable warriors?

Duanmu Lanshan looked at Xiao Ziyan and asked, "Ziyan, do you know them?"

"I don't know them!" Xiao Ziyan shook her head, equally bewildered. She didn't expect these people to come for her.

"Don't know?" Duanmu Lanshan's beautiful eyes flickered, "If you don't know them, how do they know your name? And judging by their stance, it seems they came especially for you. If you could connect with these warriors, no one could control your marriage!"

"I really don't know them!" Xiao Ziyan still shook her head.

"Xiao Ziyan, where!" Several warriors saw no response from below, and uttered another voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan stepped forward, saluting the void: "Dare I ask, what business do you have with Ziyan?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yuanshan's face showed not only respect but also a hint of fear, clearly unsure whether the visitors were friends or foes. If they were foes, the Xiao Family might be erased from Fengzhou City tonight.

"What is your relation to Xiao Ziyan?" The leading elder's gaze looked down at Xiao Yuanshan.

"Xiao Ziyan is my daughter!"

"I see!"

"May I ask, what business do you have with Ziyan?"

"We are from the Imperial Capital Headquarters of Emperor Star Academy, specially sent by the headmaster to bring Xiao Ziyan into the academy for training!" The leading elder's voice boomed: "From today onwards, Xiao Ziyan will be the core disciple of the Imperial Capital Headquarters, representing the will of Emperor Star Academy!"

Wow~

With this statement, the entire scene was stunned, and the entire space became silent. Yet all eyes fell on Xiao Ziyan, showing shock and disbelief. Her demeanor was beyond reproach.

The Imperial Capital Headquarters, core disciple, representing the will of the headquarters, what a destiny, what an identity!

The Imperial Capital Headquarters is truly the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm, yet several Saint Heaven Realm superpowers have personally arrived to welcome Xiao Ziyan. What an honor!

They say from now on, Xiao Ziyan will be a core disciple of the headquarters, representing the will of Emperor Star Academy.

"What's happening, our goddess has suddenly become someone we can't even dream of reaching?"

"Can someone tell me, is all this really happening?"

"Brothers, hurry up and beat me up!"

"Why?"

"I want to see if I'm dreaming!"

"..."

The crowd stared at Xiao Ziyan and murmured, if not for these superpowers speaking themselves, they wouldn't believe it even if killed.

To know, the Emperor Star Academy Branch in Fengzhou City is the goal of the younger generation, let alone the Imperial Capital Headquarters, and the core status in itself makes anyone in Fengzhou City not even able to dream of reaching it.

Recalling earlier, Xiao Yuanshan tried to connect with major families by using Xiao Ziyan's birthday to hold a martial arts contest, now it seems, how laughable? Those Ancient Martial families don't deserve Xiao Ziyan!

If they knew of Xiao Ziyan's core status earlier, they would only hope to keep up with her, dare they defile her beauty? Are they even worthy?

Now, if there's someone who remains relatively calm, it would be Xiao Tianyu standing on the combat stage. It's no wonder, as all this was his arrangement, and to him, it's simply no big deal.

Excited?

Shocked?

Very shocked, very excited, especially Xiao Yuanshan, his heart filled with extreme joy. Now that Xiao Ziyan is a core disciple of the headquarters, does the Xiao Family need to climb other three major families anymore? Absolutely not.

"Ziyan, I didn't expect you to be so promising. The future of the Xiao Family relies on you, don't let me down!" Xiao Yuanshan said to Xiao Ziyan.

"Rely on me?" Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan laughed, her smile quite sarcastic. She continued, "Since when does the Xiao Family rely on me? I'm nothing but a pawn to the Xiao Family, will they rely on me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan and everyone in the Xiao Family were dumbfounded.

And Xiao Ziyan continued, "From now on, there's no relationship between the Xiao Family and me, I, Xiao Ziyan, am no longer part of the Xiao Family, from now on, I officially leave the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Ziyan's words were so merciless, leaving no room for sentiment, putting Xiao Yuanshan and everyone in the Xiao Family in a state of confusion. Xiao Ziyan rose up but abandoned the Xiao Family.

If they had known, why bother?

After today's martial arts contest for marriage, Xiao Ziyan is utterly disappointed with the Xiao Family.

"This..." Xiao Yuanshan's face turned ugly.

"Ziyan, this place is your home!" Duanmu Lanshan said.

"Fifteen years ago, it was also my elder brother's home, but now?" Xiao Ziyan's voice was icy.

"..." That remark left Duanmu Lanshan speechless, feeling her heart clogged. Fifteen years ago, Xiao Yun was also a member of the Xiao Family, yet because he couldn't practice, he was considered the most failed creation and expelled from the family.

Not long ago, Xiao Yun returned late at night and killed the Xiao Family's patriarch with the most domineering means. This all seems like yesterday, vivid in memory, causing great regret throughout the Xiao Family.

If it weren't for the events fifteen years ago, the Xiao Family under Xiao Yun's support might have unified the Ancient Martial Realm by now.

After all, on that day, Xiao Yun's strength was evident to them, at least a Saint Heaven Realm expert.

"Ziyan, how can you mention that rebel?" Xiao Yuanshan shouted.
