Chapter 1188: 1188: The Final Decision

Mrs. Hou shook her head and sighed. "Once that child goes in, the chances of him coming back are almost zero."Fu Haiwen fell silent. He was clinging to a one-in-ten-thousand hope. As for the Xun Yue Clan’s mindset, they’d brought their own child here basically to serve as cannon fodder; no one else was going to care that much.

"Actually, that child from the Qingyu School has very good aptitude. His current level is no worse than your Xuan Ge’s, he’s just one step away from Spiritual Talisman, right at the threshold." Mrs. Hou’s words shocked both Fu Haiwen and Fu Hai Xiang.

"That kid’s got that kind of ability?" Fu Hai Xiang really couldn’t believe it. "He’s from a Modern Family, after all."

Mrs. Hou nodded slightly, and a sudden clarity rose in her heart. Probably people from the Ancient Families all held this kind of mindset, which was exactly why they had such deep conflict with the Modern Families.

She had a Sensitive体质 and could clearly sense Luo Yirui’s capability. Within this villa, he was already outstanding, but don’t forget, that child was only six years old, likely the youngest among all who came!

Yet if it were only this, it still wouldn’t be enough for Hou Baiyu to take him seriously, so Mrs. Hou kept wondering if that child was still hiding some other skill.

If that were true, then it would be downright defying the heavens.

This was also one of the reasons she was polite to Beisitian. After all, no one could say what the future situation would look like.

Fu Haiwen began thinking it through again and finally frowned. "Talent and strength are one thing. But does this child have the ability to adapt? He’s only six. A six-year-old probably understands far too little. Faced with something serious, he’ll likely panic. How can he be up to the task?"

At a young age, a difference of one or two years is very obvious—partly in strength, partly in intellect. So don’t look at Zu Yan being two or three years older than Luo Yirui; his thinking and intelligence are already much stronger than a six-year-old’s.

"That’s not absolute." Mrs. Hou said.

Listening to the two, Fu Hai Xiang, built like an iron tower, felt his head ache. With a sigh he said, "It’d be great if the Mi Family were participating too."

At the words "Mi Family," both Mrs. Hou and Fu Haiwen’s expressions changed slightly.

The Nie Family certainly wouldn’t fail to "invite" the Mi Family, but the Mi Family simply ignored them. As the only transcendent family nowadays, they had the power to look down on the Nie Family.

Right now, only the Mi Family could suppress the Nie Family, but the Mi Family was truly a Hidden Family. In nearly a hundred years, the gatherings they had participated in could be counted on one hand. Yet every time the Mi Family attended, they inevitably intimidated everyone present. That was why the Mi Family’s transcendent status had never been questioned—Nie Family included!

The Nie Family’s grand maneuvers, put bluntly, were just them trying to become another Mi Family—no, to replace the Bei Family’s position!

The Zeng Family had once had two transcendent families: the Bei Family and the Mi Family. Now one barely remained, while the other had long since splintered apart. After the Bei Family became a Scattered Family, quite a few people had similar ambitions, but once the Mi Family made a move, they immediately understood just how vast the gap still was.

With the Nie Family’s actions growing more frequent, it wasn’t that no one wanted to seek out the Mi Family, but in the past thirty years, the Mi Family hadn’t attended any Mystic Doctor gatherings at all. Finding them was practically like ascending to heaven.

Some even suspected that, in some unknown corner, the Mi Family had already become a Scattered Family.

In the end, after making their decision, the two families planned to talk with the Xunyue School and have Luo Yirui go together with the Little Fatty, Zu Yan.

If it still ended in failure, then the Hou Family planned to leave this place first and then figure out a way to treat Hou Baiyu. Of course, if they could find the cause and a solution inside, that would be far better, so as not to waste time.
