Chapter 397 Cao Ying of the Cao Family
The strength of the alchemists sent by both the Bai family and the Dan family is inferior to that of Xiao Yan. This time, they only need to get into the top three in the assessment to maintain the status of the Ye family, which means that the Ye family has already passed.

"The Cao family is here!"

Just when Ye Zhong thought victory was in sight, a loud shout rang out in the hall.

As soon as this shout fell, many people in the hall stood up from their seats with smiles on their faces. Among the five major families today, the Cao family is the most powerful, and the witch of the Cao family will become a giant of Danta in the future.

Xiao Yan also turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see the tightly closed door slowly opening and a graceful figure walking out slowly with lotus steps.

The woman had a slender body and was wearing a black dress. Her skin was whiter than snow and she had a cold and arrogant expression on her face. She looked enchanting and charming.

"Is this the witch from the Cao family? She is indeed pretty, but there is still some gap compared to Medusa." Xiao Yan lost interest after taking a look at her. Xiao Yan had seen so many beauties that he had become immune to them.

The black-clothed woman's lazy eyes kept scanning the hall, and everyone she glanced at felt a burning sensation in their hearts.

The enchantress of the Cao family, Cao Ying, is one of the three future giants of Danta. The Cao family has its current status thanks to this enchantress of the Cao family.

When Cao Ying saw the fiery gazes in everyone's eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and she seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention. However, when she shifted her gaze to a handsome young man in a golden brocade robe, she found that there was no fiery look in the young man's eyes, and there was even a hint of disdain in his expression.

The young man's unique behavior attracted Cao Ying's attention. Although many people had pretended to be cold to attract her attention over the years, all of them fell under her spell and became like dogs.

But the young man in the golden brocade robe was obviously different, because the coldness and disdain were completely different; one was pretended, and the other was a subconscious expression.

Cao Ying took a deep breath, and under the gaze of everyone, she walked in front of Xiao Yan with lotus steps, stretched out her right hand, smiled faintly and said: "I am Cao Ying, who are you?"

When everyone in the hall saw that the enchantress from the Cao family suddenly became interested in the young man from the Ye family, their eyes widened with disbelief.

What made them even more surprised was that Cao Ying actually took the initiative to extend her jade hand. It was a great honor to be able to touch this jade-like hand! This young man made a fortune.

Xiao Yan was somewhat confused at this time, not understanding how he could attract this vixen from the Cao family. However, out of politeness, he still stretched out his hand. But just when his hand was halfway out, he saw two figures, one in white and one in green, looking at him with a half-smile.

Xiao Yan's body suddenly shuddered, and he immediately retracted his outstretched hand. Then he scratched his head, looked at Cao Ying, curled his lips and said, "Xiao Yan!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan refused to shake hands with her, Cao Ying felt offended and her chest ached with anger. She thought she had seen it wrong before, but now it seemed that Xiao Yan really disliked her! Otherwise, he would not have refused to shake hands with her.

In fact, if Xiao Yan knew what Cao Ying was thinking, he would definitely shout that it was unfair. After all, he was just comparing Cao Ying with Medusa, and Cao Ying was indeed not as good as Medusa. As for not shaking hands with Cao Ying, would Xiao Yan dare? Xun'er and Xiao Yixian go shopping together every day. This assessment is not a big deal, so naturally they were not asked to go together. Who knew they would go shopping here!

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they saw Xiao Yan refused to even let Cao Ying shake his hand. No one in Shengdan City dared to do this, right? You know, Cao Ying's teacher is one of the three giants of Danta! He dared to offend Cao Ying, which obviously meant he didn't want to get along. He must be from the countryside! He was too ignorant.

Cao Ying had never experienced such humiliation in public before. Her anger was completely ignited and she vowed to teach Xiao Yan a profound lesson. However, she did not show it on her face. After pulling back her arm, she looked at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly, "Are you Xiao Yan? The one who beat the elder of the Bai family half to death?"

The five major families were extremely well-informed, so Xiao Yan's heroic deeds were naturally not hidden from them. It was just that Cao Ying had never seen Xiao Yan before, and now seeing Xiao Yan and Ye Chong standing together, it was impossible for her to understand that the man in front of her was the biggest dark horse of this time.

After hearing what Cao Ying said, the people in the hall were stunned with shock. After all, only people from the five major families were present at the time, and the Bai family deliberately covered it up, so not many people knew about it. Now that Cao Ying had completely exposed it, she was playing with fire.

Because in this way, the Bai family and Xiao Yan would be at war to the death. After all, if they did nothing in the face of such a huge humiliation, how could the Bai family still have the face to be one of the five major families.

"So cruel!" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Ying. It turned out that this person was not only beautiful, but also a cruel and ruthless person.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cao Ying said and looking at the reactions of the people in the hall, the Bai family's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. It can be said that Cao Ying's words directly rubbed the Bai family's faces to the ground.

However, the Bai family obviously did not dare to provoke the Cao family and transferred all their hatred to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at the Bai family's eyes full of murderous intent, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care too much. He turned around and followed Ye Chong to the Ye family's special seat.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had no fear of the Bai family's hatred, Cao Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. She became more and more interested in this Xiao Yan who suddenly appeared. She moved slightly with lotus steps and walked towards her own seat.

However, when he passed by the Dan family, he stopped, looked at the girl behind Dan Xuan, and said with a faint smile: "Sister Dan Chen is here too! There are a number of dark horses in this assessment. I wonder if Sister Dan Chen is interested in participating?"

As soon as Cao Ying finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Cao Ying had always disdained to participate in this kind of assessment before, but today she was actually interested in it.

Ye Chong felt a little frightened after hearing what Cao Ying said. Although Cao Ying's appearance would not change anything, it is better to be safe than sorry!
Dan Chen was a little reserved at first, but once the topic of alchemy was mentioned, he immediately became energetic. He shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan, with some desire in his heart, and nodded immediately.

After the people from the Cao family took their seats, the ground in the hall suddenly began to shake. The seats of the five major families were like a huge floor, slowly moving backwards. In a short while, a very spacious square appeared in the center of the hall.
