It was just because of his outstanding alchemy talent that a pill refining ancestor from the Han family took notice of him and accepted him as a disciple. His master mainly focused on poisoning techniques, but the poison within him was due to repeatedly refining poison, attempting to make his body immune to all poisons. Ultimately, he failed, leaving himself heavily poisoned. Eventually, during a competition with a long-time rival in poisoning techniques, he was calculated against, leaving no way out...

Silence throughout the night.

The next day, Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan went nowhere. There were still three days left until their three-month mark at the academy, after which they’d be able to access more areas...

Such as challenging others, confronting those waiting to challenge them, or visiting the library, among others. Only after three days would they officially become disciples of Yuhai Academy!

Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan sat at the stone table in the small courtyard. Mo Jiuli glanced at the shadows and called out, "Elder Han, come out too. We don’t need protection; it’s fine together. You don’t need to stay in the shadows anymore!"

"Yes, my lord!" Han Yu emerged from the shadows and stood behind Mo Jiuli.

"Sit down," Mo Jiuli said.

"The relationship and name between the two of us, you must already know, so I won’t elaborate. We’ve ascended from another continent to the Cloud Underworld not long ago, so you don’t need to be overly cautious. As long as you don’t betray us, you are one of us!" Mo Jiuli directly addressed Han Yu.

Han Yu was taken aback by Mo Jiuli’s words. He had known about Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan’s names and the fact that they were husband and wife before coming, but he didn’t know they had just ascended to the Cloud Underworld. The Han family and Zongzheng family members assumed Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan belonged to a hidden family in the Cloud Underworld. Otherwise, how could they be so bold, provoking the Zongzheng family and the Han family like this?

Upon hearing this, Han Yu realized that Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan did not have a family backing in the Cloud Underworld. His perception of them changed, admiring their spirit; he couldn’t tell whether to consider them fearless newborns or call them reckless!

"Do you know how powerful the Zongzheng family and the Han family are in the Cloud Underworld?" Han Yu thought for a moment and asked Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan.

"I know, the Zongzheng family and the Han family are great families in the Cloud Underworld, with formidable forces and deep foundations, aren’t they?" Mo Jiuli replied, looking at Han Yu. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"You know that, why do you keep provoking them time and time again?" Han Yu asked, puzzled.

"How did we provoke them? You should know that it’s always them provoking us first! We simply didn’t choose to endure because of their background," Mo Jiuli replied with a slight smile.

Han Yu knew Mo Jiuli spoke the truth. Indeed, it was the Zongzheng family members who first provoked Mo Jiuli and the others. Yet, knowing their background and still refusing to endure, what could he say? Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan were simply too audacious!

Where do they come from, being so bold and reckless? From what was seen, the Zongzheng family and the Han family were suffering greatly, whereas Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan remained unscathed. This was probably their audacious leverage...

"By the way, I’ve heard Yuhai Academy is popular with factions. Should we join a faction, or establish one ourselves?" Mo Jiuli asked Di Minghan.

"How about we seize one?" Di Minghan contemplated before responding.
