Gu Chaoyan spent the remainder of her time confined to her room, a prisoner of boredom. When dinner time arrived, Lady You would bring her some simple dishes.

In truth, given Gu Chaoyan’s advanced level, she had no real need for sustenance. However, Lady You, being of a different caliber, still required three meals a day. Consequently, it was agreed upon that Gu Chaoyan should partake in the meals as well.

Gu Chaoyan obliged and had some modest food, finding herself with little else to occupy her time in this place.

The spiritual energy on this continent was astonis.h.i.+ngly scarce, rendering her cultivation attempts futile. Her only recourse was to spend her time refining pills and medicine within her secluded s.p.a.ce.

The pills she produced were exclusively for Lady You, primarily basic in nature and effortlessly concocted. In fact, her stockpile had nearly reached completion, sufficient to last Lady You a lifetime.

As she diligently worked on her pill refining, the moment of the impending compet.i.tion drew near.

Gu Chaoyan stored the freshly made pills within her inters.p.a.ce and emerged, resolute in her intention to engage in the clan compet.i.tion alongside Lady You.

The Shen family’s residence was situated not far from their current location.

In essence, the Shen family’s residency served as the central courtyard within the Shen family’s compound, encompa.s.sed by various branch courtyards. A convenient, designated entrance allowed pa.s.sage from one side to the other, with one side leading to the clan’s territory and the other to the Shen family’s residence. Ordinarily, without prior notice, members of the Shen family’s branches were restricted from entering the clan’s territory, just as clan members were discouraged from freely wandering into the branch courtyards.

Today marked a typical clan compet.i.tion day, where elders sought to gauge the progress of the younger generation. Thus, they were free to traverse between the clan and the family residence.

Gu Chaoyan and her peers could not venture to the clan independently. They had to wait for all the young members of Shen Chengw.a.n.g’s family to gather before proceeding together.

She and Lady You had arrived early and decided to wait here for the others.

One by one, the rest of the group arrived. As they caught sight of Gu Chaoyan, their expressions displayed a mixture of disdain and the excitement of watching a spectacle.

Shen Ningyu, seemingly the most troubled among them, arrived last, still visibly perturbed.

The others greeted Shen Ningyu with great respect, even trying to flatter her from time to time.

It was only after this interaction that Shen Ningyu managed to suppress her impatience and approach Gu Chaoyan.

Once Shen Ningyu arrived, they were ready to depart. However, she unexpectedly halted and approached Gu Chaoyan, her gaze filled with disdain as though she was savoring a delightful spectacle. “You? What are you doing here?”

Gu Chaoyan remained unfazed, seemingly uninterested. ‘

Shen Ningyu continued, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Our branch had already suffered a significant loss of face in the past. Now, you want to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Do you think our branch hasn’t been humiliated enough?”

Gu Chaoyan retorted casually, “Father and your mother made the arrangements for me to partic.i.p.ate. If you find it inappropriate, I suggest you discuss it with our Master and Lady. There’s little point in discussing it with me.”

Shen Ningyu was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Shen Lianxue, who usually complied readily, to talk back to her, let alone without any concern for her dignity.

Speechless, Shen Ningyu knew very well why Shen Lianxue had decided to partic.i.p.ate in the clan compet.i.tion. It was a calculated move by her mother to further disgrace her, setting the stage for a hasty marriage and the acquisition of low-level cultivation beads from her future husband’s family.

She had wanted to enjoy the spectacle alongside Shen Lianxue, so how could she discourage her from partic.i.p.ating now?
