The new son of destiny

During their intimate moments, Xiao Fan also asked Jiang Lan about the Hundred Flowers Saintess assessment and how it worked.

Jiang Lanzhi, resting her head on his right shoulder, softly explained the situation to him.

The Hundred Flowers Saintess assessment lasts for a total of ten days.

The first three days are dedicated to the Disciples' strength competition, where Disciples ranked higher gain priority access to the Secret Realm in the subsequent team competition.

The following seven days are for team confrontation, where each Disciple can lead a team of up to one hundred people into the Flower Immortal Secret Realm arranged by the Hundred Flowers Holy Land to collect petals dropped within the Secret Realm.

The team with the most petals will be the victor and can claim the position of Saintess.

In other words, the talent competition in the first half does not determine the outcome; the true decisive factor is the team competition in the latter half.

And in the team competition, there are no restrictions on the help Disciples can choose; as long as you have the strength and can summon people, even Great Ascension cultivators are fine.

Yes, that’s right, this is the key to the Hundred Flowers Saintess assessment!

Calling for help! Being able to call for help indicates your capability.

The more people you call, and the stronger their strength, the greater your capability, and the higher your chances of winning.

This is why it is said that the Hundred Flowers Saintess is actually chosen based on the power behind the Saintess.

Listening to Jiang Lanzhi’s explanation, Xiao Fan gained a deeper understanding of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land’s assessment.

The design is quite ingenious; after all, this is the principle on which the Hundred Flowers Holy Land relies for its survival, and it cannot be taken lightly.

“Don’t worry, with my current strength, I estimate that few people in the Holy Land are my match,” Jiang Lanzhi softly told him.

Yes, Xiao Fan’s strength could kill a Great Ascension cultivator with one punch.

Under the One Heart Body Integration, Jiang Lanzhi’s strength was overwhelming, capable of killing a Combination Stage Cultivator with one punch without any problem.

Coupled with her Cultivation Technique, combat experience, and memories from her previous life, it could be said that even among Great Ascension cultivators, few were her match.

Xiao Fan naturally knew her strength, and this Saintess position was hers for the taking.

“Of course, my Jiang Lan Zhi is the most beautiful woman in the world, the kind who possesses both beauty and strength,” Xiao Fan said, pinching her chubby little face.

Jiang Lanzhi playfully scolded him, saying, “Don’t do these actions in public from now on; I’ll accompany you after the assessment is over.”

“Oh?” Xiao Fan looked at her in surprise, vaguely seeing a charming allure in her eyes.

Alright, this little Yao Beast has learned how to charm people.

The two of them didn’t have much time alone, mainly because Jiang Lanzhi needed to prepare for the assessment.

Xiao Fan escorted her, arriving behind the arena, where he bid farewell to Jiang Lanzhi; she kept looking back, reluctant to leave.

Only after Jiang Lanzhi’s figure disappeared did Xiao Fan prepare to leave; it was time to return to his team.

Just as he was about to leave, a beautiful and pure woman quietly appeared before him, bumping into him head-on.

With a thud, Xiao Fan didn’t move an inch, but she stumbled back two steps and sat heavily on the ground.

After getting up, she didn’t concern herself but instead said to Xiao Fan:

“Oh, I apologize, Young Master, I’ve caused you trouble.”

Her face was full of apology, and paired with her innocent maiden face, it was easy for people to believe her words.

When she came to her senses and saw Xiao Fan’s face, she was shocked again, her eyes full of little stars, blinking rapidly.

She appeared particularly excited, wanting to grasp Xiao Fan’s hand to express her excitement.

However, Xiao Fan subtly pulled his hand back, effortlessly dodging her move, yet she remained natural, showing no embarrassment, and said in surprise:

“You are Taixuan Holy Son, Your Highness, I never expected to meet you here; it’s truly a blessing.”

Damn, this is an expert!

Who is Xiao Fan? Only he fools women; no woman has ever fooled him.

You, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, can still walk into me? Your acting is a bit poor, but Xiao Fan wanted to see what tricks this woman was trying to play.

He said with a half-smile, “And then?”

“I apologize, Your Highness, how about this: I’ll take you around to see the full view of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land as an apology, what do you think?”

She spoke pitifully, paired with that innocent maiden face; anyone with a slightly lower rank would easily be drawn in by her.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself; I am a Disciple of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land, my name is Xia Huaxuan.”

She introduced herself proactively, her voice sweet and a bit carefree, very natural, making people feel an immediate sense of closeness.

Xiao Fan roughly guessed something; this was probably a carefully planned encounter.

After all, with his status and position, as long as he nodded, women would immediately prepare themselves for his favor.

It was absurd, ridiculous, yet also very realistic and explicit.

If that was the case, he had no interest; it was insincere, too calculating.

Feeling bored, Xiao Fan prepared to leave, just then, a clear voice came.

“Miss Huaxuan, so you’re here; I wondered why I couldn’t find you anywhere.”

Xiao Fan looked up; it was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a sunny smile on his face that made people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

Xia Huaxuan also heard the voice; a flicker of displeasure crossed her eyes, but her overall expression remained innocent and naive as she turned her head.

She said expressionlessly, “You are?”

“Miss Huaxuan, do you not remember me? Last time in the Forest Sea Secret Realm, after we obtained the Spiritual Plant, we were ambushed by Yao Beasts.”

“I gave you the Spiritual Plant and stayed behind to cover your escape, allowing you to get away safely. Do you remember now?” he said with a simple smile.

Xia Huaxuan showed a look of sudden realization, saying, “Oh, so you were the one from that time. I was in such a hurry then that I forgot to thank you. Thank you for saving my life.”

The young man said awkwardly, “It was a small matter, nothing to mention. By the way, after you took the Spiritual Plant last time, you said you were still missing one Spirit Medicine: Nine-Turn Spirit Ginseng Flower.”

“I’ve been lucky recently and just happened to come across the Spirit Medicine you needed. Here.” Saying this, the young man took out the Spirit Medicine and handed it to Xia Huaxuan.

Xia Huaxuan was anxious; she didn’t know whether to accept it or not.

She really needed this Spirit Medicine, but how could she pursue Xiao Fan while being entangled with another man in front of him?

The young man also noticed Xiao Fan’s presence; they were standing very close, and he instantly understood that he had interrupted someone else’s date.

He apologized:

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb Miss Huaxuan; I’ll leave now.”

Without waiting for Xiao Fan and Xia Huaxuan to reply, the young man handed the jade box containing the Spirit Medicine to Xia Huaxuan and left without looking back.

“As long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters.”

“It doesn’t matter if the person standing beside her is me,” he thought, feeling deeply moved, leaving in self-pity.

“Your Highness, I’m really not familiar with him; I only had one encounter with him in a Secret Realm,” Xia Huaxuan explained before the young man had gone far.

She wasn’t afraid of the young man hearing; she was only afraid of Xiao Fan misunderstanding.

Xiao Fan didn’t care what relationship these two had.

What he cared about was that there was a golden script above the young man’s head!

Holy cow, Child of Destiny!

Too lazy to deal with Xia Huaxuan, Xiao Fan mentally opened the young man’s script.

Xiao Fan only saw the young man’s name and immediately knew the direction of this protagonist’s fate.

Those three words were known to everyone, without exception:

【Child of Destiny】

【Name: Fei Yangyang!】

Heavyweight! Epic!

A chance encounter, risking his life to cover her retreat, just to give Xia Huaxuan a chance to escape.

Afterward, he still couldn’t forget her, remembering what she needed, and bringing it to her.

No doubt, Fei Yangyang, true to his name.

Damn it, I’ve become a Sheep!

Regarding the name of the Child of Destiny, although he could guess it with high accuracy, out of curiosity, he still briefly peeked.

【Fei Yangyang: A flattering Child of Destiny; the more the women he likes ignore him, the more he self-pityingly grovels.】

【Just now, can you believe it, his first thought after leaving was actually:

“As long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters.”

“It doesn’t matter if the person standing beside her is me.”】

Seeing this, Xiao Fan felt a bit of physiological discomfort; this Child of Destiny is mentally twisted.

I’m really fed up with these people; such self-pitying lickspittles are truly rare, no, they’re really cheap!

A walking Child of Destiny; killing him would surely yield a lot of villain points. Just as Xiao Fan was thinking about how to subtly kill him, Xia Huaxuan, seeing Xiao Fan silent, quickly said, “Your Highness, I really don’t know him, please believe me.”

Her plan to catch a rich husband was just one step away, but Fei Yangyang ruined it; Xia Huaxuan wanted to kill him.

Xiao Fan came back to his senses, looking at the pure and lovely Xia Huaxuan, a plan forming in his mind. You like to be a lickspittle, don’t you?

I’ll show you what it means to end up with nothing, not just nothing, but also your life, after being a lickspittle.

Xiao Fan actively hooked her chin, examining her closely, and clucked in admiration, “Such a beautiful person, but unfortunately, the relationship seems a bit complicated.”

Xia Huaxuan looked directly at Xiao Fan, startled by his intimate gesture, but after the surprise came joy; he praised my beauty, does he have feelings for me?

“Your Highness, you’re making me feel so shy,” she said, turning her head slightly, her eyes filled with bashfulness, in a coy tone.

Xiao Fan immediately let go, not going any further.

Instead, he said, “It’s just a pity that you’ve associated with unsavory people. My woman is not allowed to interact with other members of the opposite sex.”

Xia Huaxuan’s heart sank, her killing intent towards Fei Yangyang intensifying; she was so close to success, and this guy ruined her plans!

She said with a crying voice, “Saint, I really have no relationship with him, you must believe me.”

Xiao Fan smiled and handed her the Looting Luck Sword.

“Prove it to me.”

Xia Huaxuan looked at the gleaming sharp blade; she knew she had to prove her innocence.

Without hesitation, she accepted it on the spot.

“Saint, I will prove to you that I truly have no relationship with him.”

Did Xiao Fan care? Not at all. All he wanted was Fei Yangyang’s death, and as for why he wanted Mei Yangyang to do it, it was simply to kill him and break his spirit.
