"Grandpa, how did that woman become like that?" Long Yuyi asked as she stared at the maddened Mo Hongling.
No matter how powerful a cultivator was, they were still a human, and Mo Hongling had spent so much time in the Dream Space alone.
Even so, Ling Yun had always been providing nutrition to her body, so Mo Hongling would never die, nor would she be able to commit suicide without his permission.
Long Weishan looked at the area around them with a soft sigh. "I can feel that the flow of time in this place is extremely fast, and Ling Yun must have confined this woman for too long, so she has finally gone mad."
"You're right."
The two were startled upon hearing a woman's voice, even more so when Meng Xianzhi appeared before them and Long Weishan respectfully asked. "Who are you, Senior?"
"You don't need to know my name, but I am Ling Yun's Master." Meng Xianzhi then turned to Mo Hongling. "He has confined her in this place for tens of thousands of years, and he didn't let her die, so she became like this."
"What? Tens of thousands of years?" Long Weishan and Long Yuyi were shocked by that and then turned to Mo Hongling pitifully, and they couldn't imagine if Ling Yun did the same to them.
"Yes." Meng Xianzhi then turned to Long Yuyi, and her expression became solemn.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Senior?" Long Yuyi asked in confusion, for she didn't understand why Meng Xianzhi was looking at her so intently.
Meng Xianzhi sighed heavily and asked her. "Do you want to go to a higher realm and become my disciple, Little Girl?"
"Huh?" Long Yuyi and Long Weishan were surprised upon hearing her question.
Meng Xianzhi then told them. "Although this is just your subconscious, I can see into your real body, and I found a dangerous thing in your body. If you can't control your feelings, it will affect that thing, and the consequences will be dire. If you come with me to a higher realm, I may be able to help you control it, and you can turn it into your strength."
"What do you mean by that, Senior? What kind of thing is inside my granddaughter's body?" Long Weishan asked with a serious look.
Meng Xianzhi shook her head and asked Long Yuyi again. "What's your decision? Even though Luxuria has done something for you to control that thing, it will still become active if you continue to stay in the lower realm, and the best way to prevent that from happening is for you to go to a higher realm asap."
"Luxuria? You mean Big Sis Ling Xi?" Meng Xianzhi nodded to her, and Long Yuyi asked her again. "Is that thing perilous, Senior?"
"Yes." Meng Xianzi decided to tell her the truth. "If it becomes active, it will be inevitable that you will become an evil cultivator, and everyone around you will be in danger."
"Eh?" Long Yuyi stiffened upon hearing that and looked at Meng Xianzi in utter shock.
Although Long Weishan did not know the Evil Seed within his granddaughter's body, he was still a senior cultivator, so he could judge from Meng Xianzi's expression and words that it was perilous. He then turned to Long Yuyi and said to her. "Yuyi! This senior is a cultivator of a higher realm, and she is Ling Yun's Master, so I am sure she is not joking with her words. In that case, for your future, it would be best for you to go with her. Moreover, if you train with her there, you will get stronger much faster, and you can come back whenever you want to visit us."
"That's right." Meng Xianzi said as she nodded. "Once you become strong and can control that thing, you can return to the lower realm to visit them whenever you want."
Hearing that, Long Yuyi clenched her fists tightly, for becoming a powerful cultivator had been her dream since childhood, and a golden opportunity to fulfill her dream was right before her eyes. She then looked at Meng Xianzi and asked her. "Can you really make me strong?"
"Absolutely!"
Long Yuyi took a deep breath, knelt before Meng Xianzhi, and kowtowed to her three times. "Yuyi pays respects to Master."
"That's great." Meng Xianzi nodded in satisfaction after hearing Long Yuyi's reply; she lifted her up and spoke to her. "Since your planet is quite far from my current location, I'll be arriving there in a week and taking you away with me right after. So during this week, it would be best to spend some time with your family, for you won't meet them for a very long time."
"Yes, Master!" Long Yuyi answered as she nodded.
Long Weishan was also satisfied with his second granddaughter's decision; he cupped his hands at Meng Xianzi. "I am truly grateful that you have accepted Yuyi as your disciple, Senior. I, Long Weishan, will never forget this."
Meng Xianzi simply nodded to him. "I will send you two out of this place now."

"You guys awake?" Ling Yun asked Long Weishan and Long Yuyi.
Long Weishan nodded and patted Ling Yun on the shoulder. "The punishment you gave Mo Hongling satisfied me; she has gone mad now."
"Hehe." Ling Yun chuckled at that.
Long Yuyi then said to him. "Brother-in-law, we now have the same Master."
"Eh?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that. "So Master came into the Dream Space and accepted you as her disciple, huh?"
"Yes." Long Yuyi then explained to him. "Master will come here in a week and take me to a higher realm afterward."
Just as Ling Yun was about to ask her, Ling Xi told him first. "Xianzi must have seen that thing in Long Yuyi's body, so she decided to accept her as her disciple and planned to bring her to a higher realm, for only she or the powerful cultivators there could control it."
'I see.' Ling Yun nodded in understanding and said to Long Yuyi. "Congratulations, you got an excellent Master, and you will go to the higher realms faster than me."
"Haha." Long Yuyi laughed softly at that.
Long Weishan then explained Long Yuyi's situation to his family, including Long Wei, who was overseeing the match, and they all agreed with her decision to accept Meng Xianzi's offer.
Although Long Zhan wasn't willing to part with Long Yuyi, he accepted his youngest sister's decision, for it was a golden opportunity for her, so he didn't want to hinder her future. 'Sigh, I will train even harder and follow you to the higher realms in the future.'
After a while, Long Wei and Xuanyuan Xue'er announced that Qin Wen and Jiang Chen had won their battle.
Ling Yun sighed in his heart; he had guessed from the start that Yi Shi would not win against Jiang Chen, for his ability was too unique.
"How are you feeling, Shi?" Yi Shu immediately asked her twin as soon as Yi Shi returned to their side, and she immediately gave him a healing pill, for his body was covered in many wounds.
Yi Shi swallowed the pill and answered her. "Although I'm disappointed at my loss, I must admit that Jiang Chen is very strong, and I also couldn't counter every single one of his techniques."
"En." Yi Shu nodded to him. "I'm glad you're not depressed by your defeat."
"Haha." Yi Shi laughed at that. "We are twins, remember? So you know my character, right? How could I be depressed? However, I will train harder to beat Jiang Chen in next year's competition."
Ling Yun and the others smiled upon hearing that, for Yi Shi possessed a firm and steadfast mentality, and they were sure he would continue to grow strong.
Suddenly, they were startled by the four people's loud screams, and they immediately turned to the the Chen Clan's area.
.

"Rong'er!"
"Little Rong!"
Liu Zhen, Chen Wentian, Chen Zong, and Liu Ruyue shouted loudly as they saw Chen Rong fall to the ground.
Chen Zong's face darkened instantly when he saw Lou Yan pressing Chen Rong's head to the ground with her foot.
However, just as he was about to run towards his little sister, Chen Wentian immediately grabbed his hand. "Stop it! Their match isn't over yet! If you go there now, it will embarrass Rong'er."
"But father-"
"Listen to your father's words, Zong'er." Liu Ruyue interrupted her son. Even though she wanted to help Chen Rong, her daughter was still in the arena, and she still didn't want to give up.
.
.
.
"Ugh!" Chen Rong groaned in pain from Luo Yan's action. 'Damn it! My cultivation and techniques are way above hers, but how could I lose to her?'
"Didn't you previously say that you wanted to beat me?" Luo Yan asked in a disdainful tone. "Then why are you now lying under my feet now? Do you only have the ability to boast?"
'Damn it!' Chen Rong cursed in her heart and wanted to attack her again, but Luo Yan suddenly pulled her hair up, causing her to open her mouth in agony, and she directly threw a pill into her mouth. "Cough... Cough... What did you give me?"
Luo Yan smiled faintly, kissed Chen Rong's lips, and whispered to her. "From today on, you can never leave my side, or the pill will cause you great pain."
