Ultimately, it was because his and his brothers' aptitudes were lacking.
He hid the disappointment in his eyes and continued, "How do you know that Mingxi was only brilliant as a child? In my opinion, a genius of her caliber, unless she accidentally perishes, is highly unlikely to turn out to be a disappointment."
He Changming shrugged, looking noncommittal: "Didn't Grandfather say? The future is full of uncertainties. Who knows if she exhausted her potential too early?"
He Family Head shook his head, no longer refuting.
It was just as the uncle and nephew had speculated.
On the 15th, the New Talent Rankings website officially closed. The top fifteen on the New Talent Rankings were confirmed as contestants for this Blue Sun Cup, while the bottom five were substitutes.
However, the contestant assembly originally scheduled for the next day was delayed.
The specific assembly time was temporarily set.
The Deputy Vocational Experimental Center also welcomed official personnel. Anyone with eyes knew they were there to confirm whether Mingxi was safe and when she could return.
...
1:00 AM.
The rotating personnel arranged by all parties were still diligently guarding the mirror of creation and destruction, recording its changes.
"Buzz!"
The soft light on the surface of the mirror of creation and destruction suddenly brightened intensely.
Everyone felt as if they had been doused with a basin of ice water, instantly sobering up.
"Attention! The mirror of creation and destruction has changed!"
The next second, on the brightly lit mirror surface, the figure of a young girl appeared, standing gracefully, like an orchid or a jade tree.
"It's Mingxi!"
"Quick! Go notify Minister Wang, Miss Mingxi has returned safely."
"Contact the Family Head..."
Mingxi looked speechlessly at the unfamiliar faces surrounding her. Oh, not entirely unfamiliar.
He Family's Yu Lao, He Changming, and Bai Ling were still there.
"Miss Ming, you've finally returned. Was your trip smooth?"
Bai Ling stepped forward with joy, her beautiful eyes carefully examining Mingxi to confirm her safety.
Mingxi noticed her tired expression, looking as if she hadn't slept well for several days. "I'm fine. You haven't been guarding here all these days, have you?"
Bai Ling smiled, "I brought you here, and I have a responsibility to take you away safely. Since you hadn't come out, I naturally wouldn't leave."
With that kind of service attitude, it's no wonder Sealed God Stage makes a fortune.
Mingxi asked, "What's the date today?"
She had stayed in the Abyss Secret Realm for a total of 70 hours and 22 minutes.
If it was normal, today should be the early morning of the 17th, and her personal terminal also showed that.
Bai Ling replied, "It's 1:03 AM on March 17th."
It seemed that although Blue Star and the Abyss Secret Realm had different time zones, their time flow rates were consistent.
"Mingxi, since you've returned, hurry and hand over all your gains from this trip to Blue Star's Secret Realm No. 09!"
Yu Lao frowned and stood in front of Mingxi, with a bitter and resentful expression, looking at Mingxi as if she were a shameless villain.
This kind of face, this accusatory attitude...
Mingxi frowned, looking at this He Family's scowling attendant, "Why don't I remember such a rule?"
"That day, we only allowed you to contract the mirror of creation and destruction, but we didn't say you could activate the mirror of creation and destruction to enter the Secret Realm. The mirror of creation and destruction originally belongs to our He Family. If you use it without permission, according to Alliance Law, all gains from within the Secret Realm naturally belong to our He Family!"
Mingxi almost laughed in anger.
What kind of bandit logic is this!
"Yu Lao, that's not how reason works."
Bai Ling proactively stood in front of Mingxi: "Miss Mingxi was teleported into the Secret Realm *after* contracting the mirror of creation and destruction!
According to the contract signed between the He Family and the Deputy Vocational Experimental Center, no matter who successfully contracts this mirror of creation and destruction, she is the owner of the mirror of creation and destruction and only needs to grant the He Family ten opportunities to enter the Abyss Secret Realm. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Miss Mingxi contracted first, and then was teleported away by the mirror of creation and destruction.
She used her own item, why should she hand over her gains from the Secret Realm to you?"
This Yu Lao was clearly dissatisfied that Miss Mingxi successfully contracted the mirror of creation and destruction and was deliberately causing trouble.
It had long been rumored that this He Family attendant was narrow-minded, which was why he had never been highly regarded by the He Family. freewēbnoveℓ.com
After seeing him today, one could only sigh, 'No wonder!'
Yu Lao's face turned black after being rebutted by Bai Ling. Did he not know he was being unreasonable?
Of course, he knew.
"You also said that the contractor needs to hand over the first ten uses of the mirror of creation and destruction to our He Family. She has now activated the mirror of creation and destruction without authorization, isn't she using our He Family's quota?"
Bai Ling almost cursed out loud when she heard that.
Mingxi raised her hand to stop the furious beautiful older sister. She stepped down from the now dull mirror of creation and destruction and waved her hand to put it into the Time Realm.
It was done so casually and naturally.
She completely ignored Yu Lao, who was fuming.
After putting away the mirror of creation and destruction, she looked up at He Changming, her bright black eyes sharp as swords: "Young Master He, what do you say? Do you also think I should offer all my gains from this trip to the Abyss Secret Realm to your He Family?"
She deliberately emphasized the words 'offer,' as if with sarcasm, yet somehow, a hint of respect could still be heard.
Was it contradictory?
Yu Lao, who was ignored: "..."
He Changming, who was called out: "..."
He Changming's peach blossom eyes twitched repeatedly, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
Meeting Mingxi's eyes, He Changming felt as if there was nowhere to hide.
It even made him feel as if he was facing his own god-like grandfather at this moment.
An illusion!
It must be his illusion!
However, the little girl's attitude indeed made him break out in a cold sweat.
Although the He Family was not afraid of a genius who hadn't fully matured yet, Mingxi was someone Chu Yanwang had clearly decided to protect.
"Ahem, well, that's not true. Grandpa Yu is old, and he hasn't rested well these past two days, so he's inevitably a bit irritable."
"You are the contractor of the mirror of creation and destruction, so you naturally have the right to use the mirror of creation and destruction. As for our He Family's ten opportunities, it won't be too late to arrange them after you understand the rules for using the mirror of creation and destruction."
He also knew that Yu Lao was being unreasonable, and this matter wouldn't be in their He Family's favor if word got out.
After all, this matter was personally instructed by his grandfather, and that old man's word was as good as gold; he would absolutely not violate his own principles.
Seeing that his attitude was not as overbearing as Yu Lao's.
Mingxi also had no intention of dwelling on it. The mirror of creation and destruction indeed came from the He Family.
It was a fact that she owed the He Family a favor.
"These three dark crystal flowers and two life-death stones are what I gained from this trip to the Abyss Secret Realm. They might not be comparable to the true value of the mirror of creation and destruction, but they are a small token of my appreciation."
The three dark crystal flowers glowed brightly in Mingxi's hand.
And the two life-death stones were as tall as half of Mingxi's height.
Seeing the dark crystal flowers and the life-death stones made everyone present widen their eyes and hold their breath!
He Changming and Yu Lao's reactions were the most exaggerated.
"dark crystal flowers! life-death stones! This... this is impossible?"
