The position of the head of the Yan family is a coveted spot that all the Yan children have been eyeing, who wouldn't want to sit in the seat of the Yan family's master? However, now under Yan Tianhao's incitement, although many children are still not giving up, after weighing the pros and cons, everyone has only one way to choose, which is to withdraw voluntarily.

  It's not enough for me to just quit automatically, I have to let Yan Ming know that I'm quitting automatically because of you.

  "Mingdi, this time it's enough for the Yan family to have you. You must fight for the Yan family's honor, do you understand?!"

  "Ming Ge, you're still the most capable one, we're all counting on you!"

  Yan's family suddenly had a heart-wrenching election, but unfortunately, there were no young people with real power who came one after another, each with an encouraging look, Yan Ming smiled and responded, perhaps the current situation was also within Yan Ming's expectations.

  As expected, the only one who signed up from the Yan family was Yan Ming. When Yan Tianhao found out, he didn't show any anger, as if it was supposed to be that way. Each family could only have one representative, and even if other children of the Yan family had signed up, they would undoubtedly be eliminated in the family's internal competition. Since Yan Ming was the obvious choice, others in the Yan family also understood that there was no point in competing further.

  "Yan Ming, the Yan family is relying on you." Yan Tianhao said with a heavy heart before Yan Ming set off, his hand gently patting Yan Ming's shoulder. It was clear that Yan Tianhao himself was a bit stiff, perhaps it was the first time he had contact with this illegitimate son. The world was indeed unpredictable, Yan Ming was originally an illegitimate son who was beaten and scolded, living at the bottom of society, but meeting one person changed his life.

  "Heh, I'll do my best." Yan Ming smiled faintly, and even when facing the head of the Yan family, Yan Tianhao, his attitude remained the same. Yan Tianhao nodded in satisfaction, for a great leader must have such a calm temperament. Setting aside his status as an illegitimate son, Yan Ming had the potential to achieve greatness in all aspects. If he didn't, even with Yun Feng's support, Yan Tianhao wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the position of family head.

  The specific selection will be held in Canglan City, where the main hall of Huoyue is located. Since the Yan family has already selected Yan Ming as its representative, Yan Tianhao asked Yan Ming to hurry to Canglan City as soon as possible and make arrangements for everything in advance. After all, this selection is a competition between first-rate and second-rate families, and it can be said that the position of Huoyue Temple's guardian is a fat job. It's already rare for second-rate families to have the qualifications to compete.

  Yan Tianhao's heart was set on this quota, and he also hoped that the Yan family could stand out in this selection. If he could let the Lord of the General Temple notice him, it would be even better.

  Yan Ming set off immediately to Canglan City under Yan Tianhao's urging, and promised that as long as Yan Ming got the lucrative position of Temple Guardian, he would take care of Yun Feng's marriage. Yan Ming just smiled, this wedding was destined to be a failure.

  Yun Feng and his group set off quickly towards Canglan City, the distance between Yuan Water City and Canglan City was manageable. Because they were carrying some things, they didn't rush along the way. The few of them rode in a horse-drawn carriage, Xiao Huo and Lan Yi followed alongside, while only Yun Feng, Yao Yao, Qu Lan Yi, Yan Chen, and Yan Ming sat inside the carriage.

  Qu Lan's mood had not been good all along, because Yan Tianhao said that if he were to hold a wedding ceremony for the two of them, he would also attend. Qu Lan had suppressed his anger for a long time before finally calming down the flames in his heart. Yan Ming promised that he absolutely would not have any improper thoughts about Yun Feng. Qu Lan sat with a dark face next to Yun Feng, while Yan Ming sat across from him, still with an indifferent expression. On the other hand, Yan Chen had been very excited and thrilled all along.

  "Are you going to follow me for a long time?" Yun Feng looked at Yan Fan, who had a bit of ADHD, and asked. Yan Fan smiled mischievously, revealing his white teeth, "I won't trouble you, it's fine."

  Yun Feng moved her lips slightly, forget it, Yan Chen indeed didn't cause her any trouble, except for talking a bit too much and not getting along with Qu Lan Yi, there's really nothing else.

  The little monster sat on the other side of Yun Feng, holding his hand with its small hands. The meatball that was originally on Yun Feng's shoulder had gone out with Xiao Huo and Lan Yi. It seemed to be very uncomfortable sitting in a carriage and didn't like it at all. After all, it was still a magical beast, and there was a wild nature in its personality.

  "By the way, I've always wanted to know, what is this little girl to you?" Yan Ming shifted his gaze to Yao Yao, he had never heard Yao Yao speak before, but looking at Yao Yao's appearance, she was clearly just a few years old, couldn't speak and was mute?

  Yun Feng's hand touched the top of Yao Yao's head, "She is someone I care about." Yao Yao heard this and smiled happily at Yun Feng, her small body snuggled into Yun Feng's arms, rubbing against him coquettishly.

  Yan Ming slightly raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" It was clear that she didn't quite believe it, but she didn't continue to ask questions either. Those who followed the summoner were not ordinary people or objects, and perhaps this little girl's identity would be surprising too.

  "Your doubts are endless!" Qu Lan Yi said with an unpleasant tone, Yan Ming chuckled and replied, "Brother Qu doesn't have to be so guarded against me, the title of fiancée is only temporary, I won't have any other ideas, I will naturally go explain things to Yan Tian Hua."

  Qu Lan Yi hummed, and Yun Feng smiled helplessly beside him. "This Temple Guardian position will definitely attract many people to come and compete. As far as you know, which families need attention?"

  Yan Ming heard this and chuckled, "A top-notch family should all be indignant about Zong Dian's decision. After all, only top-notch families are qualified to compete for such positions. Second-rate families can at most compete for the position of protector of a branch hall. Although the influx of second-rate families doesn't pose too much of a threat to top-notch families, it's still somewhat embarrassing."

  Yan Ming shifted his body and continued, "The number of second-rate families in the Haoyue Temple area is not small. There should be around ten second-rate families participating in this competition. Some newly risen or weak second-rate families with self-awareness will not join in the fun. Adding the five first-rate families, there should be a total of fifteen participants in this competition."

  Fifteen people, this number is not many, Yun Feng already had a general idea in his heart. Yan Ming opened his mouth again, "Among the top ten second-rate families, only two families are worth noting, the Shui family and the Hong family. The strength of these two big families is almost on par with that of the first-rate families. If they have the opportunity, it's highly likely that they will join the ranks of the first-rate families. As for the other families, they can be ignored. Without you, the Yan family would only be able to play a spectator role." Yan Ming chuckled and spoke in a polite tone, his words were not false. Under the oppression of the first-rate families, without Yun Feng, the Yan family might not even have had the courage to participate in this competition, let alone their children, which one of them had this kind of strength?

  "What about the strength of a top-notch family?"

  Yan Ming smiled lightly, his expression also becoming slightly more serious. "The strength of the five top families is naturally not to be underestimated. The high-level seats in the Hawthorn General Temple are basically selected from these five families. Even the master of the Hawthorn General Temple comes from one of these five families. It can be imagined how powerful these five families are."

  The master of the main hall is also from one of the five major families, it seems that the five major families belong to the highest level of the Bright Moon Temple and can be said to dominate all the rights of the Bright Moon Temple. The status of the five major families should be roughly the same.

  The upper echelons of the Bright Moon Palace, under the palace master are the hall's vanguard guardians. Originally there were four vanguard guardians from the four major families excluding the palace master's family. Now an additional guardian position has been added, it seems that the overall palace master also has many dissatisfactions with these four great guardians.

  "Now even second-rate families are getting involved, if a second-rate family gets this position, the Grand Hall Master will have an extra helper. It seems that the Grand Hall Master is not satisfied with the power he currently holds." A glimmer of light flashed in Yan Ming's eyes, his analysis was very reasonable, this young man had already seen through things to such an extent, it was indeed not simple.

  "In other words, whoever gets the position of the Guardian of the Temple will automatically elevate their family to a first-rate family." Qu Lan's black eyes lifted, looking at Yan Ming.

  Yan Ming burst out laughing, nodded his head, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Being promoted to a first-rate family also represents being able to compete for the position of Hall Master."

  Yan Cheng's face was filled with astonishment, "The position of Master! You... your ambition is quite large!"

  Yan Ming's face was filled with joy, "Of course it's a joke, without Yun Feng, the Yan family doesn't have the power to compete for the position of Hall Master, being able to get the position of Pre-Hall Guardian is already not bad."

  The flames had cleared, and he suddenly understood. However, Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi did not think so. Both of them had the same idea in their minds - this man, as long as he had enough time, as long as he was fully prepared, what he wanted would far exceed the position of Temple Guardian. This man's ambition would far surpass Yan Tianhao!

  "Speaking of which, the opponent sent by the top family this time should be very strong. According to intelligence, there are also summoners in the top family who are not weak." Yan Ming said calmly. Most of the summoners owned by the Hawthorn Palace were in the General Palace, and naturally distributed among the five major families. The strength of the five major families was not to be underestimated.

  "It's even better to have a summoner, and I can also exercise my muscles." Yun Feng smiled, a powerful summoner was what Yun Feng liked to see, being able to meet an opponent who was evenly matched with her was a good thing for Yun Feng. Only such battles of equal strength were the most beneficial.

  "Now that's settled, I can also look forward to it a bit." Yan Ming smiled slightly, and Yun Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. If she was being honest with herself, she had started looking forward to this competition too.

  Canglan City is the location of the Hao Yue General Temple, and this city is also the governing core of the Hao Yue Temple area. The five major families all reside here, and Canglan City is also home to many hidden masters. If we talk about safety, this should be the safest place in the entire Hao Yue Temple area. No one dares to stir up trouble here, and once they do, the consequences will be severe.

  Since the Grand Temple of the Moon announced the competition for the temple's guardian, Canglang City has become lively. This time, the competition is not limited to first-rate families, and second-rate families will also participate. Therefore, Canglang City has become lively because of the influx of many second-rate families. Those who come to watch are in the majority, those who come to build relationships are also in the majority, but those who actually participate in the competition are a minority.

  Yun Feng and others' carriage was intercepted as soon as they entered the gate of Canglan City. Yan Ming handed over his identification, and the guard checked it carefully before asking Yan Ming to wait for a moment. Before long, someone arrived.

  "Is this Young Master Yan Ming of the Yan family? Please come this way."

  Following the man, Yan Ming and others were led to a separate courtyard. After getting off the carriage, the man explained politely, "There is still half a month before the competition day, Young Master Yan can take a stroll around here, and I will take my leave first." The man finished speaking and turned away neatly.

  Yun Feng took a brief glance at the courtyard in front of him, the area was quite considerable, it should be prepared for the second-rate families who came to participate in the competition, but he didn't know where the other participating second-rate families were arranged.

  "Let's go in," said Yan Ming, walking in. Yun Feng and the others followed him in. Xiao Huo, Lan Yi, and Rou Yuan remained outside, as they preferred a freer life. Yun Feng didn't mind either, thinking it was fine to let them out.

  Yun Feng didn't want to hang around in Canglang City, this time she just came to take the stage for a tryout, as for socializing and building relationships, Yan Ming had to do it himself. However, unexpectedly, before Yan Ming made any moves, someone came knocking on his door first.

  On the second day of arriving in Canglang City, there were guests visiting. The visitors were none other than the two families that Yan Ming had mentioned, who could rival a first-rate family among the second-rate families - the Shui Family and the Hong Family.

  Yan Ming smiled brightly at the uninvited guests, while Yun Feng sat beside him discussing matters. There were six people in total who had come without being invited. Three of them wore light blue clothes, likely from the Water Clan, and the other three wore reddish-brown attire, naturally from the Red Clan.

  "Are you Yan Ming?" A beautiful woman with a cold voice spoke up first, her eyes looking at Yan Ming with some disdain, the bright red clothes on her body were very eye-catching, "That illegitimate child?"

  Yan Ming slowly stood up and was not annoyed by the other's impolite conversation, "I am Yan Ming, and you are..."

  "Hmph! Even I didn't know, so ignorant! I am Hong Yuluan." The beautiful woman coldly hummed and introduced herself, Yan Ming smiled, "Miss Hong, nice to meet you."

  The slender man in light blue clothes who had been silent all along and had been observing Yun Feng from the moment he entered, asked, "You are his summoner fiancée?"

  Yun Feng's dark eyes swept away, and indeed, those who came to participate in the election must have thoroughly investigated their opponents' information.

  "She is my fiancée, do you have any questions?" Yan Ming said, but the man in light blue clothes ignored Yan Ming's words. "I wasn't talking to you." This sentence made Yan Ming's expression slightly cold.

  The man in light blue clothes stared at Yun Feng with a very interested expression, "I am the young master of the Water family, Shi Si Xing. If you are really the fiancée of this illegitimate child, I think you can consider me."

  "Water Four Rows!" After finishing this sentence, Hong Yuluan's mouth was clearly shocked and unable to speak, "Water Four Rows! What are you talking about?!"

  Shui Si Xing didn't care about Hong Yu Luan, but instead stared at Yun Feng, "How about it? He's a illegitimate child and can never give you what you want. But I'm different, the Shui family is almost on par with those top-tier families. As long as you become my fiancée, I'll naturally give you what you want."

  Hong Yu Luan's expression suddenly turned cold, Yan Ming took a sudden step forward and blocked Yun Feng in front of him, cutting off Shi Si Xing's line of sight. "Shi Si Xing, young master of the Shi family, do you have any reason to steal my fiancée?"

  "Yan Ming, don't think that just because you have her help, you can shake off your illegitimate son status. Without her, you are nothing. What can you offer her? Are you qualified to be her fiancé?"

  Yun Feng smiled, this man is a bit too self-satisfied, Yan Ming doesn't qualify, he still doesn't qualify! "Is it Water Four Lines?" Yun Feng lightly pushed open Yan Ming, Water Four Lines slightly smiled, thinking Yun Feng was interested in him. Yun Feng looked him up and down, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

  "If you say Yan Ming is not qualified, then you are even less qualified. The Shui family is also a second-rate family after all. When the Shui family climbs to a first-rate position, you can say what you just said again, and your tone will be more convincing."

  Shui Si Xing's face suddenly turned ugly, almost blackening by half. Hong Yu Luan burst out laughing and looked at Shui Si Xing with a sarcastic gaze. If the Shui family really got their hands on this summoner, wouldn't the Hong family be greatly disadvantaged? It would be better to let this illegitimate child take advantage of it instead of giving it to the Shui family.

  "This remark is not bad, but Water Fourth Row didn't even look at your behavior!" Hong Yuluan said disdainfully. Water Fourth Row gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw muscles several times.

  "This time I came just to take a look, and Yan's fiancée is really not bad." Hong Yuluan nodded and looked at Yan Ming, "You have such good luck, it will make many people jealous."

  Yan Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Hong."

  Hong Yuluan cleared her throat, and the dark-faced Water Four stood aside, no longer speaking, presumably having lost face and wounded his self-esteem. "Today we came here to discuss one thing, second-rate families and first-rate families competing for this quota, among the second-rate families, only our two families can be brought on stage, now also counting the Yan family." Hong Yuluan looked at Yun Feng, and Yan Ming smiled.

  "We all know the strength of a top-notch family, in the struggle, our second-rate families should first unite against a common enemy, and deal with the strong ones from the top-notch families."

  Yan Ming raised an eyebrow, "What does Miss Hong mean?"

  Hong Yuluan lowered her voice, "My point is that in this competition, we should all do our best to defeat as many opponents as possible, which will be beneficial for all three of us."

  Yan Ming's eyebrows rose even higher, and naturally the two families of Shui Hong couldn't let Yan's family reap the benefits without doing anything. The two families of Shui Hong wanted to drag Yan's family into their camp, so if we put in effort, you can't just idle around either.

  "Miss Hong, rest assured that the Yan family will do its best." Yan Ming smiled and Hong Yuluan felt a sense of relief upon hearing this. "Then I'll take my leave now and not disturb you further. Young Master Yan, please remember what you promised me today."

  Hong Yuluan finished speaking and turned to leave, Shui Si Hang stood there humming a cold hum, finally didn't say anything and also turned to leave. Yan Ming smiled after the two left, "These two families are indeed anxious, but it's true that they should do so."

  Yun Feng turned around and sat down in the chair, "Let me make one thing clear, I don't care about anyone else's life or death, I only do my job."

  Yan Ming turned around, still with a faint smile on his face, "Of course, I never intended to interfere in other people's affairs from the start."

  It's been half a month, not long but not short either. Yun Feng didn't like staying in this small courtyard, it was too dull. Thinking of the few magical beasts that had played near Canglang City, Yun Feng decided she also wanted to go out for a walk. Since the people from the Shui and Hong families came, no one else has visited. The first-rate families probably thought these second-rate families weren't even worth considering as opponents, and didn't bother to care about them. As for other second-rate families, they were probably all busy with their own affairs.

  Yan Ming has been busy with things during this period, and this man is qualified to sit in the position of the host, but only because of his illegitimate child status was thoroughly abandoned. However, when the time comes, a person's fate is not fixed.

  Qū Lán Yī has been in seclusion to practice, which is beyond Yún Fēng's expectation and didn't go to disturb him. Speaking of her own strength, Yún Fēng has always wanted to find a good opportunity to improve it. For now, she will first help Yān Míng take this position and get the Tiāo Tǐ Róng Yè, after which Yān Míng should be able to help investigate, and she herself can have a lot of time to practice.

  Xia Qing was diligently cultivating inside the Dragon Temple, and although the little girl's talent was not bad, it did not belong to the innate natural talent type. This meant that Xia Qing would have to put in a lot of effort on her cultivation path. One day, she learned that Yun Feng was going out, and Yan Chen followed him out noisily. Yun Feng brought Yao Yao with him, while Yan Chen trailed behind. As soon as they walked out of the gate of Canglang City, Yun Feng clearly felt two auras passing over his head from above. He slightly raised his head and saw two people flying by in the air!

  Ride the sky and go!

  Yun Feng slightly narrowed his black eyes, and the two figures quickly flew forward. The low whispers that ordinary people couldn't hear didn't escape Yun Feng's ears, "I want that Fire Cloud Wolf..."

  Yun Feng's dark eyes narrowed! Huo Yun Lang? The two figures had already disappeared in an instant, and Yun Feng didn't think twice before suddenly leaping into the air, holding Yao Yao in her arms, and chasing after the two fleeing figures!

  "Hey! Wait for me!" Yan Chen shouted as he saw Yun Feng suddenly soar into the sky, letting out a loud cry. However, Yun Feng ignored him and disappeared at an incredible speed into the horizon. Yan Chen cursed under his breath, and a black element suddenly enveloped his body. In an instant, his body eerily vanished from its original spot, seemingly merging with space itself.

  "Little Fire." Yun Feng's thoughts were transmitted through sound, and soon Little Fire's voice came, "Master, what's wrong?"

  Yun Feng closely followed behind, soon saw the two people in front of him hurrying forward, "Where are you? Have you met anyone during this time?"

  The little fire's voice came quickly, "I've met them before! They're all troublesome humans, and when they see me, their eyes light up. I feel sick just looking at them! And there was one fool who wanted to catch me and take me back, but I clawed him into a serious injury. I reckon he won't be coming again!"

  Yun Feng's dark eyes sank, the two people flying in front of him didn't slow down, Yun Feng kept a certain distance and carefully followed behind them. "Now there are two monarch-level people rushing towards your direction, one of whom is a fire summoner."

  "Whoa! Thought you could bully me? Want to capture me? You'll have to see if I'm willing or not!"

  "Is Leng Yi beside you?"

  "He's not here, he and Meatball are somewhere else, I'm by myself here."

  Yun Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, thinking to himself, "Stay there and don't move, wait for me to come over."

  "Ling Yi." Yun Feng's thoughts were transmitted to Ling Yi, and Ling Yi's voice came through, "Master, what's wrong?"

  "Bring the meatball here immediately." Yun Feng could only say this one sentence briefly, his body suddenly stopped, and Lan Yi's voice came after a few seconds of silence, "Yes, I'll rush over right away." The connection ended there, because the two people who were running wildly in front earlier had already stopped, and at this moment, the two were turning around to look at Yun Feng together.

  Yun Feng and the two of them were separated by a distance, but they could still see each other clearly, and their voices were also very clear. "Who are you! Sneaking behind us!" One of them suddenly shouted loudly, it was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with a fair and refined face, yet the shout he let out was full of energy.

  "What's your noble rank? Which family are you from?" Another one was a slender and pretty girl with a clear brow, her figure was slightly thin, a pair of eyes staring at Yun Feng loudly asked.

  "Yun Feng, of the Yan family." Yun Feng replied with a sentence, and the two people opposite him suddenly froze. The young man burst out laughing, "A second-rate family actually has a top-notch strongman? You have the surname Yun, how can you be from the Yan family?"

  The girl beside him thought for a moment and suddenly remembered, "Oh! I remember now, I heard that the Yan family suddenly had a very powerful fiancée, is it you?"

  The young man's expression turned serious upon hearing this, "You're that Summoner? Hmph! A second-rate family can only rely on such tactics!"

  "You're following us, don't you also want that Fire Cloud Wolf?!" The girl suddenly narrowed her black eyes, her face already flushed with anger. Yun Feng chuckled and the girl suddenly shouted loudly, "You're not qualified to compete with me! A second-rate family like yours should just get out of here!"

  Yun Feng's face also suddenly turned gloomy, "I don't even deign to compete with you for it, it was originally mine!"

  "What a big tone!" The young man shouted angrily, "Do you know who we are! People from the top five families dare to provoke you! Have you forgotten your own identity?"

  Yun Feng burst out laughing, the sound of her laughter echoing through the sky. The young girl and boy couldn't help but look embarrassed when they heard her laugh, originally thinking that she would retreat in defeat after revealing her identity, but instead she laughed it off!

  "What are you laughing at?! This Fire Cloud Wolf is mine!" The young girl shouted in anger and embarrassment, while the youth beside her had already made his move!

  "Sky Split!" A magnificent sword aura came from the young man's direction, like a long sword slashing through the sky and chopping down towards Qingyun straight on!

  Yun Feng's black eyes sank suddenly, his palm flipped over, and the monarch-level long sword was grasped in his hand. The long sword emitted a loud hum as soon as it appeared, as if it had been waiting for a long time. With a flip of his palm, the long sword met the sudden attack of air, and all that could be heard was "Clang..." Yun Feng's long sword and the air flow brushed past each other, the sword body trembling slightly. Yun Feng gripped tightly with force, and the long sword in his hand had already swung down fiercely, blocking the extremely powerful attack, splitting it into two halves!

  The young man's face suddenly sank, his heart was shocked, his attack... was actually cut off!
