Seeing Murong Sheng’s shocked expression, Murong Qingyue’s face showed the aloof arrogance characteristic of the Queen of Assassins.
“When did I say I was a waste?!”
Thirty years on the east side, thirty years on the west side1The Chinese proverb “三十年河东，三十年河西” (sān shí nián hé dōng, sān shí nián hé xī), meaning “Thirty years on the east side, thirty years on the west side”, conveys the idea that life is cyclical and circumstances, power, and fortunes are constantly changing, with no one group or person holding power indefinitely. It highlights the transient nature of both prosperity and decline, emphasizing that a reversal of fortune is always possible over time.. Ever since she’d traveled through time and space in this body, she was no longer the useless Third Young Lady she once was!
Even though Murong Sheng had been mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but be shocked by Murong Qingyue’s words.
But soon, he took on the posture of the head of the family and said with a cold face: “Even if you are not a waste, you will not be allowed to act recklessly in this family!”
As soon as these words came out, Murong Qingyue sneered: “Whether the Murong family will tolerate me or not depends on my ability. Do you think I will let you bully me like before?”
She was no longer the Murong Qingyue of the past!
Murong Sheng’s chest swelled with anger at her words. A moment later, he suddenly shouted coldly, “Come, fetch the Spirit Test Stone! I want to see just how capable you, Murong Qingyue, are!”
At Murong Sheng’s words, someone quickly responded. A few minutes later, a Spirit Test Stone over ten feet tall was carried over by several servants.
After the Spirit Test Stone arrived, Murong Sheng glared at Murong Qingyue and said, “You’d better prove your strength. Otherwise, you’ll be disrespecting your elders and punished according to the family rules!”
Hearing this, Murong Qingyue simply sneered and walked boldly over to the Spirit Test Stone.
In the original plot, after Murong Qingyue’s strength was detected, she was quickly promoted to a prominent position within the Murong family. However, Murong Yunge was deeply dissatisfied with this and repeatedly challenged her without hesitation.
The result was self-evident: Murong Yunge was repeatedly humiliated, her status within the Murong family declined, and she even gained a reputation for jealousy.
However, today, even if Murong Qingyue continued to shine as brilliantly as before, Murong Sheng would never give her the same attention he did in the plot.
Unless he truly had lost his mind!
Murong Qingyue then placed her hand on the Spirit Test Stone.
Soon, a green light emanated from the Spirit Test Stone, stunning the surrounding crowd.
The standard for judging strength on the Haomiao Continent is the color of one’s vital energy.
Red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple: the darker the color, the stronger the cultivator’s strength.
Murong Qingyue’s detection of green vital energy meant she was already a Green-rank cultivator.
While Murong Sheng, despite years of cultivation, was only a late-stage Green-rank master.
Upon seeing the blinding green light, the surrounding Murong family members were already at a loss for words.
“Green-rank?! Oh my god, the Murong family has another Green-rank master!”
After a long pause, someone finally realized what was happening, their faces filled with ecstasy.
At this moment, their instinctive admiration for the powerful led them to automatically overlook Murong Qingyue’s previous arrogance and presumption.
On the contrary, they saw Murong Qingyue’s strength as evidence of her previous behavior, which was simply the arrogance of a peerless genius. Therefore, there was nothing unacceptable about it!
Murong Sheng also looked dazed, as if stunned.
Observing the reactions of the crowd around her, Murong Qingyue remained calm and composed, as if she had already anticipated their reactions.
