Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Chapter 276 People from the Star-Picking Pavilion Have Arrived

"She's a fake! Her soul isn't Qingluan at all!" Xiao Chuhuang became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her face growing increasingly grim. "No wonder Chihuang said it couldn't sense the aura of the Phoenix Clan on Jiang Shuyue. I thought it was because her bloodline wasn't pure, but it turns out she's a complete imposter!"

Shen Tu Zihan and Xuan Yuan Wuhen also came over.

Shen Tu Zihan walked quickly to Shen Yunxi's side, her gaze sweeping over her rapidly, a hint of barely perceptible worry in her eyes.

Seeing a wound and bloodstains on Shen Yunxi's arm, but noting that the wound had already healed, she felt a little relieved and asked softly, "Xiaoxi, are you alright? Did you hurt any bones or tendons?"

Shen Yunxi frowned slightly, looked at Shen Tu Zihan, and shook her head.

Shen Tu Zihan smiled gently, her eyes tender as water: "I once heard my clan leader aunt say that your father calls you Xiao Xi, and my aunt also calls you Xiao Xi. May I call you that?"

She observed Shen Yunxi's expression, feeling slightly nervous, afraid of being rejected.

Shen Yunxi lowered her eyes to conceal the emotional fluctuations within them. After a moment, she raised her eyes again and said in a calm tone, "I don't care about how you address me. You can do whatever you want."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure rushed out from the crowd – it was Situ Jingxuan.

His face showed a mixture of grievance and accusation: "Yunxi, you're treating me differently! Why can she call you by your nickname but I can't? I've known you for much longer than she has!"

Situ Jingxuan looked extremely disheveled. His once meticulously styled hair ornament was hanging crookedly on his head, a few strands of hair were scattered across his forehead, and his usually neatly combed hair was now messy. His handsome face was also covered with several bloodstains, making him look quite pathetic.

"Because you're a man!" Shen Ruoyu rolled her eyes. "I'm telling you, Uncle, my mother has a husband, and you're still following her around. Do you want to be a mistress?"

Situ Jingxuan: "..."

His gaze fell on Shen Ruoyu, then he saw Zhi Yan behind him, and his eyes widened instantly, "He...he...he's not..."

"Don't you also think it looks similar?" Xiao Chuhuang interrupted him, asking meaningfully.

Xiao Chuhuang and Situ Jingxuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes. A chill ran down their spines, raising goosebumps.

The image of a certain person simultaneously appeared in their minds. That familiar face was so clear, but wasn't that person already dead?

Just then, a figure arrived on a sword and slowly landed in front of everyone.

This person was dressed in the distinctive silver-white robe of the Star-Picking Pavilion, his clothes fluttering, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance; he was none other than Lu Xiao, the deputy head of the Star-Picking Pavilion.

He looked around at everyone present, and his gentle, warm voice rang out, carrying a calming power: "Everyone, you have been frightened. The riot of the soul beasts just now was an accident. The soul beasts have now been calmed down, so please do not panic."

Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning rolled their eyes and silently complained: Why don't you try it and see if you panic!

Lu Xiao's gaze swept over the young faces, and he said loudly, "Congratulations to all candidates for passing the first test. The next test will be even more rigorous, so please be prepared."

"Yes!"

Those who survived responded in unison.
