Chapter 1296 - 1295: A New Era

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1295: A New Era

Shi Guang sneered coldly on the side. "The wheel of fortune turns. When the Shi Family was in trouble, those people just stood by and watched. Now that they’re the ones in trouble, they actually have the face to come begging to us!"

Beisitian shot him a mild glare. "You’re not a child anymore. You have to watch your words and behavior. Lines that expose your emotions this much, saying them in front of us is one thing, but once you’re outside, you represent Qingyu and the Shi Family. You absolutely cannot talk like this."

Shi Guang spread his hands. "I only talk like this in front of you, Aunt. Outside, I’m very mature."

Beisitian gave him another irritated glare, though what he said wasn’t wrong. When handling matters outside, Shi Guang was always cold and distant; that way he could ward off a lot of troublesome people and problems. The less he talked, the fewer chances he had to say the wrong thing.

Luo Yirui held Black Coal Ball in his arms and quietly listened at the side. Since coming back, he hadn’t had a chance to really understand the current situation. Hearing everyone talk like this, he finally realized things outside were even messier than where they had been—and it was still ongoing.

Wei Zhongyuan put a stack of papers in front of Beisitian. "These are the materials I’ve gathered on the Ancient Families—all the latest. They’ve already entered the mundane world, starting to prepare footholds in places the Nie Family can’t keep an eye on."

The Ancient Families did have a bit of ’taking advantage of others’ peril’ to them, but if it were Qingyu in their place, Beisitian would do the same. The overall situation of the Mystic Doctors was already beginning to shift. If you didn’t seize this chance to gain a firm footing, the next one to go under would be yourself. So regarding what the Ancient Families were doing, Beisitian didn’t feel it was particularly objectionable.

Beisitian skimmed through the pages. The overall strength of the Ancient Families hadn’t changed much; all three families were extremely powerful, with the Nie Family naturally at the head, almost dominating alone.

The other two families, the Hou Family and the Fu Family, were very low-key, but their speed at seizing the market was in no way slower than anyone else’s.

Among the four major sects, the Pengge Sect no longer ranked first, while the always unimpressive Tianyao Sect suddenly rose overnight, becoming the foremost of the four. Next came the Pengge Sect, the Cloud Sea Sect, and the Xunyue School.

Overall, the Ancient Families were competing over how fast they could occupy the market. Clearly, the fact that they could stabilize themselves so quickly and then start moving forward indicated that they hadn’t been idle all these years—they hadn’t truly withdrawn from the world.

Beisitian roughly looked it over and let out a soft sigh. "A new era for the Mystic Doctors is about to arrive."

A new era...

Everyone stared at her in a daze.

The previous Mystic Doctor sect families had always seemed too weak to Beisitian, having lost most of their essence and merely struggling to survive in the mundane world. Now that the Ancient Families were re-entering the world, it meant the Mystic Doctors were going to be reshuffled.

Looking at it from a grand perspective, this kind of change was actually beneficial for the entire profession, because in the future the Spiritual Talisman would no longer be the mark of an expert, but the most basic mark!

Just like in the Mystic Doctor world of her previous life: if such an era could develop steadily, the flourishing of the Mystic Doctors would eventually arrive. But to reach that point might take a hundred years, or perhaps several hundred. Beisitian would not live to see it.

"Aunt, what should we do now?" Shi Guang asked.

Shi Jianbin’s expression darkened a little, and he lightly tugged at him. "In public, you call the Family Head ’Family Head’!"

Shi Guang curled his lips. "Aren’t we all our own people here?"

Shi Jianbin glared at him fiercely. Seeing that Beisitian didn’t mind, he couldn’t really say much in front of everyone, and decided to talk to him properly once they went back.

Beisitian thought carefully. Qin Yu could choose to stay out of it and protect himself, but in that case he would still face the danger of being devoured in the future. Or he could take this step forward and further strengthen Qingyu’s power!
