Chapter 598: I'm Seldom Wrong About People

"Alright." Cao Shuo paused for a moment, then asked quietly, "Sister, if you disdain him, just leave him to me. I'll discipline him properly in the Thunder Department."

The Moon Sword Goddess gave her a cold glance and said, "You think too beautifully, using my authority to openly keep a man for you? He causes trouble everywhere; what benefit is there for me?"

"What should we do then? You've already taken him as a disciple, now you find fault with his nature and despise him," Cao Shuo said.

The Moon Sword Goddess gazed at Yun Xiao and said softly, "I plan to temper his character, then send him to the Western Kunlun Palace. The bored old ladies there should grant him their favor."

"Sister..." Cao Shuo's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, "Please, have mercy. The Western Kunlun Palace is no place for a man. He will completely lose his luster and become nothing but a pet of their desires."Follow the latest novels on no/velbin(.)com

"There's no other way." The Moon Sword Goddess' eyes were frosty. "I'm seldom wrong about people. This lad is flawed. In today’s world, even with ten times the talent, he won't amount to much."

"No!" Cao Shuo was desperate. "Don't make conclusions so hastily. I will educate him properly, and you, you can try to magnify his talents in swordsmanship as much as possible. He is grateful and will respect you. You will profit from this."

The Moon Sword Goddess laughed upon hearing this. She looked deeply at Cao Shuo and said, "Sister, I don't trust you."

"Why?" Cao Shuo asked.

"You don't even accept incense offerings; you have no future in the Celestial Court. Everyone is intoxicated but you remain sober; you are sanctimonious, aloof," the Moon Sword Goddess said with a wistful smile.

"..." Cao Shuo bowed her head, silent.

"Here’s what we’ll do," the Moon Sword Goddess looked at her, "you accept incense offerings once in the mortal realm, and I’ll give this boy a chance, how about that?"

Cao Shuo looked up, staring blankly at her.

"This is to save you, sister. If you don’t appreciate it, I won’t mention it again," the Moon Sword Goddess said gravely.

"Sister..." Cao Shuo took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I thank you. Please give me some time to think."

"Useless." The Moon Sword Goddess shook her head and scoffed, "Then let's see how long this boy can last."

Just as the words were spoken, a figure tore through the sky amidst swirling winds and clouds.

It was none other than Thunder Duke Bai Duo.

"Greetings to the Moon Sword Goddess." After paying his respects, Bai Duo turned to Cao Shuo and said, "So, Thunder Emissary Cao is also here?"

"What do you want?" Cao Shuo asked, displeasure clear in her tone.

Bai Duo looked towards the woman with silver hair and declared, "I've come to rescue the Moon Sword Goddess."

At this, both the Moon Sword Goddess and Cao Shuo were momentarily stunned.

"Then try and rescue me," the Moon Sword Goddess said.

"Yes." Bai Duo nodded. "This starts with a junior named Gu Sutao."

He then recounted everything Gu Sutao had confessed.

"In short, this boy is tangled with Divine Dawn and the Immortal Asylum, and he carries with him a great disaster!"

The remaining geniuses were fewer and fewer! Of course, those who could win six consecutive battles were naturally the elite of the elite!

"Everyone left likely possesses the combat power of a Lord Lu." Yun Xiao had been in the Celestial Court only a few days, yet he had already matched the combat prowess of a high-ranking Immortal official.

Three more rounds of battle remained.

"Secure a spot to the Divine Gateway, ascend the Nine Heavens Thunder Rankings, and no one can touch me!"

Yun Xiao's resolve was as firm as ever. Then, the matchups for the seventh round were announced.

"Lu Yao!" Yun Xiao had never imagined he'd be the first to fight in this round. No matter. It was time to face it! He lifted his head, confronting the renewed hostility in the eyes of 1,000,000 Immortals, and stepped onto his path.

Soon after, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ranking announced his opponent's name.

"Bai Ling'er!"

Yun Xiao was stunned when the name was called out. Facing siblings in combat was statistically improbable—nearly impossible! Yet, here it was happening.

The 1,000,000Immortals of the Thunder Department were equally baffled.

On the Celestial Thunder Platform, Bai Duo suddenly stood, his gaze locked fiercely on Cao Sheng.

"Cao Sheng!" His eyes blazed with fury.

Cao Sheng also stood, furrowing his brow deeply and gritting his teeth. "I swear, I didn't manipulate anything!"

"If my daughter comes to harm, I will never forgive you!" Bai Duo said coldly.

"I said, I didn't manipulate it!" Cao Sheng, a man also known for his temper, retorted sharply.

"General Bai, this is truly a coincidence. To avoid any mishaps, perhaps you could ask your daughter to forfeit?" Gu Suwan suggested, trying to mediate.

"She has a chance to reach the Divine Gateway!" Bai Duo stated firmly.

The conversation could not continue beyond this point.

Whether Cao Sheng had manipulated the outcome was unknown to anyone.

With no further words, Bai Duo stepped down from the Celestial Thunder Platform and landed beside Thundercloud 1.

"Dad..."

Amid the focus of thousands, Bai Ling'er suppressed the flames of vengeance in her heart and said to her father, "Don’t worry, I know the opponent is cunning, so I'm willing to concede."

"No need!" Bai Duo stood by the edge of the thundercloud, his gaze coldly fixed on Yun Xiao, and said in a low tone, "You will fight him!
