After He Yan announced the results of the martial arts competition, his eyes looked into the distance.

The quietly departing figure was the desolate silhouette of Ye Qingxuan.

Immediately, He Yan’s figure turned into a shadow at extreme speed, darting away into the distance!

Inside the Profound Bird Guard’s main hall, He Yan sat quietly, resting with closed eyes.

In front of him stood a woman around forty, dressed in a deep blue Profound Bird uniform.

The woman felt a bit puzzled upon arriving here.

The martial arts competition had just ended, and the Deputy Envoy He Yan urgently summoned her.

Could it be that those ghastly things in the White Dao Prefecture have appeared again?

She had just planned to comfort that little girl Ye Qingxuan?

When Yanran left, she had asked her to take Ye Qingxuan under her wing and personally guide her martial arts training.

As the woman’s mind wandered, He Yan opened his eyes and spoke softly.

"Zhong Ling, Yellow Envoy, I summoned you for an important matter."

"The Lord Envoy has commanded..."

After Zhong Ling listened, she looked at He Yan in disbelief, seemingly doubting the words of the Deputy Envoy He Yan.

For this martial arts competition, the Lord Envoy had decided to add three special focus training spots.

One of these spots surprisingly went to Ye Qingxuan.

This decision by the Lord Envoy was unprecedented and set a precedent for the White Dao Prefecture.

In the past, at most one focus training spot would be added, never three at once like today.

"Deputy Envoy, isn’t the Lord Envoy afraid..."

Zhong Ling and He Yan were familiar enough for her to dare to remind him.

Adding more spots means the White Dao Prefecture requires more martial arts resources.

Will the Celestial Capital Profound Bird Guard agree to this?

Moreover, the Black Feather Guard fellows are also arriving during this period.

Isn’t the Lord Envoy afraid of being entangled by them?

Understanding Zhong Ling’s inner concerns, He Yan gave her a reassuring look.

"Don’t worry, everything will be decided by the Lord Envoy."

"We only need to follow the Lord Envoy’s orders!"

Upon receiving He Yan’s assurance, a smile of joy appeared on Zhong Ling’s brow.

She was happy for that young girl Ye Qingxuan.

No one could have imagined that Ye Qingxuan would have such good fortune, gaining the Lord Envoy’s favor.

He Yan noticed Zhong Ling’s thoughts, knowing she was eager to inform Ye Qingxuan.

"Alright, Zhong Ling, no need to stay here, quickly go inform that little girl Ye Qingxuan."

"Yes, Deputy Envoy!"

"I will go inform Ye Qingxuan right away!"

After speaking, Zhong Ling turned around and dashed out the door, sprinting in a certain direction.

The west courtyard of the Profound Bird Guard was the dwelling of the Yellow-level Profound Bird Envoy, occupying about one-tenth of the entire Profound Bird Estate.

Through Zhong Ling’s connection, Ye Qingxuan stayed here with her.

In a certain courtyard, Ye Qingxuan sat with a defeated look on the stone bench, her eyes staring at the boundless sky.

"Will I never be able to return to the Celestial Capital in my life?"

"Is it because I’m useless and let my father down?"

"Still disappointed Yanran?"

At this time, the courtyard gate was quietly pushed open from the outside.

The person entering was none other than Zhong Ling.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan in such a state, Zhong Ling knew her mood instantly.

Seeing that it was Zhong Ling, Ye Qingxuan’s face became even more pale and weak.

"Miss Ling, I have failed!"

"It seems difficult to see Yanran again."

Seeing this, Zhong Ling hurriedly stepped forward, placing a hand on Ye Qingxuan’s head.

Zhong Ling initially intended to keep it a secret, but seeing Ye Qingxuan’s state, she felt she had to quickly deliver the good news.

Otherwise, Zhong Ling feared this little girl, Ye Qingxuan, might have her spirit break and confidence plummet.

"Qingxuan, Deputy Envoy He Yan summoned me just now."

"It was about you."

Ye Qingxuan’s attention was entirely captured by Zhong Ling as she spoke.

Deputy Envoy He Yan, one of the three esteemed figures in the Profound Bird Guard.

Such a figure, why would he mention me?

"Not going to keep you in suspense, the Deputy Envoy was just passing on the Lord Envoy’s orders."

"After this martial arts competition, three special spots will be added."

"These are the focus training spots of the Profound Bird Guard."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flickered in Ye Qingxuan’s eyes. She looked at Zhong Ling, her body starting to tremble.

Miss Ling means!

Could one of these spots possibly be mine?

"Exactly, you little girl, have been directly appointed by the Lord Envoy!"

"Really?"

"Miss Ling, this!"

Ye Qingxuan became extremely excited, this spot being undoubtedly the most important opportunity of her life.

It’s Lu Xuan!

Why did he grant me a spot?

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Ye Qingxuan’s mind.

In her joy, another thought suddenly struck her.

"But...Me! ...Miss Ling!"

"If the Lord Envoy does this, won’t it seem unfair?"

"Qingxuan fears that someone might secretly accuse the Lord Envoy of injustice!"

Ye Qingxuan’s anxious and worried expression was caught by Zhong Ling.

With a teasing tone, Zhong Ling’s lips curled upwards, "Oh, little Qingxuan, when did you start worrying about the Lord Envoy?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Miss Ling!"

"I...."

Seeing Zhong Ling’s playful expression, Ye Qingxuan’s pale face turned crimson!

"Alright, little Qingxuan, Miss Ling won’t tease you anymore."

"The Lord Envoy’s actions aren’t for us to question!"

"No, rather, there’s no one in the entire White Dao Prefecture qualified to question the Lord Envoy."

"Besides, in this world, what’s truly fair anyway."

"The premise of all fairness is having absolute strength to back it up."

"With this in mind, little Qingxuan, can you rest assured now?"

"Make sure not to waste this great opportunity."

As Zhong Ling finished speaking, she seemed to recall something and spoke up.

"Hmm, by the way."

"According to the Deputy Envoy, you seem to know the other two who received the spots?"

"Hmm?"

"I know them?"

Ye Qingxuan thought hard, but the list of people she knew was quite short.

"Don’t think too much, tomorrow morning, I’ll personally take you to meet the Lord Envoy."

"By then, everyone who got a spot will be gathered there."

Gaining a spot was akin to being reborn for Ye Qingxuan, dispelling her previous gloomy disposition.

"Yes!"
