Time passed quickly as he cultivated. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The Old Tower s of the eighth floor, at this moment, Cang Yun was still immersed in his cultivation state. The Heaven and Earth source power formed numerous cyclones that continuously circled around him, and after ten days of cultivation, his cultivation of the second layer had completely stabilized.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Suddenly, a violent trembling sound resounded throughout the entire Old Tower, and after being awakened, Cang Yun stood up, and directly looked at the direction of the ninth floor's Old Tower, where the trembling sound originated from.

"Is the inheritance finally coming to an end? However, this is the most difficult moment. I hope that the girl can persevere."

After muttering to himself, Cang Yun did not have any plans to continue cultivating, but stood at his original spot and quietly waited.

Another hour passed.

Weng! *

A humming sound finally came from the passage. Cang Yun's mind shook, and looked over. There, a graceful and slim figure slowly appeared in front of him.

"Big Brother Cang Yun."

When the girl's hollow voice sounded, Cang Yun finally heaved a sigh of relief. The worry in his heart had also turned into a smile, which was brimming with worry on his resolute face.

"How was it, did it work?" Cang Yun asked with a gentle smile.

"En!" Zhou Xian'er nodded heavily, her beautiful face had a look of delight, but in the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed slightly. She stared at Cang Yun with her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Just now, Senior Spirit of the Old Tower had already told me about the battle between you and Zhou Jun. I ?" As he spoke till here, Zhou Xian'er was choked with sobs. Her face was full of gratitude, because for her, Cang Yun had almost paid with his life!

"You still like to cry like you did when you were young." Cang Yun reached out and lightly rubbed the girl's nose, then revealed a smile. He comforted her in a soft voice: "Although there was a small accident, I'm still fine and well right now. I should be happy."

However, after hearing Cang Yun's consoling words that pretended to be relaxed, Zhou Xian'er's eyes reddened, and her heart was moved even more.

Seeing that, Cang Yun was about to console her, but suddenly, a fragrance entered her nose, and immediately after, a soft body slipped into her chest like a kitten. Cang Yun was stunned, and the comforting words from her mouth stopped.

In the next moment, Cang Yun lowered her head to look at the petite body in her embrace.

At this moment, the entire space suddenly became silent. The only sounds that could be heard were the irregular sounds of breathing as they embraced each other. However, that sound seemed to be suppressed by the two with all their might.

"Big Brother Cang Yun."

When the girl in his embrace finally could not hold it in anymore, she let out a soft moan and it was only then that the frozen scene was broken.

"Uh, sorry about that." Cang Yun regained his senses, seeing the shy face of the young lady in his embrace, he anxiously let go of his hands, and immediately scratched his head, revealing a rare young and bashful smile.

Seeing Cang Yun at a loss for words, Zhou Xian'er immediately burst out laughing, the bashful blush on his face also left as he giggled: "I've never seen a Big Brother Cang Yun like this before, but he's kind of cute."

"Heh, just tease me." Seeing that the girl in front of him did not seem to be angry, Cang Yun heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed awkwardly.

But in the midst of his awkwardness, Cang Yun couldn't help but recall the scene from before, and his heart throbbed strangely.

Dong!

Just at this time, a loud and clear bell sound suddenly resonated out from the Old Tower. After hearing the sound, Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er ended their conversation.

The trial had finally ended.

In the next moment, a gentle yet irresistible force sent the two of them out.

At the same time, on the plaza at the back of the Zhou Family, a boiling scene had long ago erupted. A group of Zhou Family clan elders looked in the direction of their clan grounds, their aged eyes filled with excitement.

After waiting for countless years, this day had finally arrived.

As for the young disciples of the Zhou Family, they didn't have much understanding towards the matter of the inheritance, so their excitement was purely because someone had finally completed the clan's trial.

Weng! *

Not long later, a sound of space shaking appeared in front of the open ground. The intense atmosphere of the open ground immediately became quiet upon hearing the sound. Everyone's gaze was immediately attracted over.

Under their excited gazes, Cang Yun and her figure gradually surfaced in front of everyone's eyes.

In the next moment, Zhou Hao led the clan elders of the Zhou Family over to the two of them.

"Father!"

"Uncle Zhou."

Seeing that, Zhou Xian'er and Cang Yun both bowed.

"The seventh manual, good!" Zhou Hao looked at Zhou Xian'er, and after feeling the latter's cultivation aura which was revealed due to his unstable breathing, his calm face revealed a hint of abnormal excitement. As a father and Sector lord, Zhou Hao was very pleased with such a young practitioner of the seventh realm.

"Nephew Cang Yun, thank you for your hard work." After nodding to Zhou Xian'er, Zhou Hao then shifted his gaze to Cang Yun who was at the side, and spoke with a serious expression.

Regarding this, Cang Yun slightly smiled, he did not have the thought of gaining credit, and respectfully replied: "I only did what I had to do, the one who really worked is Xian'er."

Hearing Cang Yun's words, for some reason, Zhou Xian'er recalled the scene where the two of them were embracing each other in his mind, her face turning red, she anxiously lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao seemed to have noticed Zhou Xian'er's abnormality, his brows twitched, and after looking at the two people in front of him, he smiled meaningfully at Cang Yun.

"Heh." Feeling Zhou Hao's burning gaze, Cang Yun's back felt a bit numb. After he gave a guilty smile, he also lowered his head slightly, not saying another word.

Seeing that, Zhou Hao also restrained his expression, and said loudly: "All clan elders of the Zhou Family, return to the Great Assembly Hall immediately and convene a family meeting."

When his words fell, Zhou Hao once again looked towards Cang Yun and Zhou Xian'er, and said: "You two come together, follow me."

With that, Zhou Hao led the two of them towards the main courtyard of Zhou Family, while the other clan elders followed closely behind.

Not long after he walked out, Cang Yun felt a hidden hostility staring at him from behind. He frowned and turned his head, but did not discover anything.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xian'er who was at the side saw Cang Yun's abnormal behavior and asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I just felt like someone was staring at me. Maybe I was mistaken." Cang Yun searched for a while, but still could not find anything, he shook his head and explained with a smile.

"Heh, Big Brother Cang Yun is the famous person in our Zhou Family right now. It's normal for people to pay attention to him." Zhou Xian'er did not think too much into it, and giggled.

"Maybe."

Cang Yun smiled and replied, but in his heart, he secretly remembered this matter in his heart.
