In the Xiao Family, inside a magnificently decorated hall, Ye Chen's adoptive mother, Xiao Hui, was pacing back and forth with an extremely anxious expression.
"Tomorrow, the entrance examination for the Celestial Flame Academy will begin. I must secure a spot for Chen'er," Xiao Hui pressed her lips together, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
In fact, she had visited the Xiao Family several days ago to see her cousin, Xiao Yang, hoping he would grant Ye Chen a spot.
However, Xiao Yang's wife told her that Xiao Yang was in secluded cultivation and could not be disturbed.
Besides, the other high-ranking members of the Xiao Family wouldn't dare to give a spot to someone outside the family without the Patriarch's consent.
So, Xiao Hui could only go back and wait patiently.
