Yang Wushuang, who was walking along the road, stopped his steps when he heard a voice behind him and looked towards where the sound came from.
Upon seeing that the person was Ye Xi, Yang Wushuang bowed slightly and saluted her.
"Greetings, Second Miss."
"May I ask, Second Miss, is there anything you wish to command me to do?"
Yang Wushuang looked at Ye Xi approaching, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.
After all, he, Yang Wushuang, did not belong to the Hall of Offerings but to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, so he was a little puzzled as to why this Second Miss of the Hall of Offerings would call out to him for no reason.
"It's nothing. I just heard that you are from the Breaking Clan, one of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, so I wanted to ask some questions about the Four Single-Attribute Clans."
As Ye Xi spoke, she waved her hand at Yang Wushuang, signaling him to follow her.
Ye Xi led Yang Wushuang to a pavilion and sat down.
"Second Miss, ever since I joined Spirit Hall, I haven't returned to the Breaking Clan, so I don't know much about the current Four Single-Attribute Clans."
Yang Wushuang sat in the pavilion, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Ye Xi in front of him.
"It's fine, just tell me what you know."
"I just want to understand the Four Single-Attribute Clans."
Ye Xi waved her hand dismissively, crossing her legs and making a posture of listening attentively.
Hearing this, Yang Wushuang thought for a moment, seemingly organizing his words.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Second Miss, the Four Single-Attribute Clans are: the Breaking Clan, the Strength Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Speed Clan."
"Each of the Four Single-Attribute Clans has its strengths. Our Breaking Clan excels in alchemy, the Strength Clan excels in forging, the Defense Clan excels in construction, and the Speed Clan excels in reconnaissance."
"Ever since the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, the Four Single-Attribute Clans have also suffered unprecedented heavy losses and have all separated from the Clear Sky Sect."
Yang Wushuang recounted with a hint of emotion.
"Hmm, and then?"
Ye Xi nodded lightly, waiting for Yang Wushuang to continue.
"After separating from the Clear Sky Sect, the Strength Clan moved to Heaven Dou City, and their development in Heaven Dou City has been quite good. The Defense Clan moved to Longxing City in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire to develop, and it is said that they have also developed well."
"Our Breaking Clan and the Speed Clan have a very good relationship. After moving to the Star Luo Empire, our Breaking Clan traded the medicines we refined with people from the two Empires and accumulated a lot of wealth."
"The most miserable is the Speed Clan. They have no means of making a living and are unwilling to join other Sects, so they often need assistance from the other three clans."
After Yang Wushuang finished speaking, he quietly looked at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi, on the other hand, lightly tapped the table with her finger, a faint thoughtfulness appearing in her eyes.
"Yang Wushuang, you said the Four Single-Attribute Clans, is there any possibility of them joining other forces?"
Ye Xi looked at Yang Wushuang, her azure blue eyes full of inquiry.
"Second Miss, the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan will absolutely not join other forces."
"The Clan Chief of the Strength Clan, Tai Tan, is a staunch loyalist of Tang Hao. Their entire Strength Clan is subservient to Tang Hao, and the Speed Clan has a distant familial relationship with the Clear Sky Sect, so these two clans will absolutely not join other forces."
"Although the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan might join other forces, they will not join Spirit Hall."
"My elder brother Yang Wudi's son fell in battle against Spirit Hall back then, and the situation of the Defense Clan is similar. Although they hate the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao, they also hate Spirit Hall."
Yang Wushuang said, a hint of helplessness in his tone. If the Breaking Clan could join Spirit Hall, he would have returned to the Breaking Clan long ago.
The reason he hadn't returned to the Breaking Clan until now was precisely because he knew that his elder brother Yang Wudi would never join Spirit Hall, right?
"I didn't say join Spirit Hall."
"I was just asking casually."
Ye Xi smiled and waved her hand dismissively.
But in her eyes, there was a faint contemplation, as if she was thinking about something.
"Second Miss, if there is nothing else, then I shall take my leave."
Yang Wushuang stood up and bowed to Ye Xi.
"Hmm, I have nothing else."
Ye Xi nodded slightly, signaling Yang Wushuang that he could leave.
After receiving Ye Xi's signal, Yang Wushuang headed in the direction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, it seems there's some room for maneuver."
"However, not now."
Ye Xi muttered to herself, then walked towards her room.
Back in her room, Ye Xi lay directly on the soft and comfortable bed, preparing to rest well for a day, so she could be in the best state for training tomorrow.
Lying on the bed, Ye Xi quickly fell asleep.

All content is correct and complete!
The next day, early morning.
Ye Xi got up early from bed and went to Golden Crocodile's location.
Upon arriving at Golden Crocodile's residence, Ye Xi found that besides Golden Crocodile, there was also a girl around eight or nine years old following him.
"Ye Xi, you're here."
Golden Crocodile looked at Ye Xi walking in, a smile appearing on his somewhat aged face.
"Let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter Tian Yue. She is two years older than you, has Innate spirit power level eight, and her current spirit power is level seventeen Spirit Grandmaster."
Golden Crocodile extended a finger and pointed at Tian Yue beside him.
"Hello, my name is Ye Xi."
Ye Xi looked at Tian Yue, a smile appearing on her cute face.
"Second Miss, I know you."
"I often hear Grandpa mention you, saying you are a highly talented Genius."
A faint smile appeared on Tian Yue's delicate face.
"That's just Grandpa Golden Crocodile's praise."
Ye Xi also sized up Tian Yue. Tian Yue was a bit taller than her and wore loose golden clothing.
"Alright, alright."
"There's still some time before breakfast."
"Let's go for a run first to warm up."
Golden Crocodile took out two iron rings from the side and handed them to Ye Xi and Tian Yue, then said, "These two iron rings have the same weight. Wear them on your legs, and I'll take you to warm up."
Ye Xi took the iron ring and weighed it in her hand, finding that this small iron ring weighed about fifteen catties (7.5 kg).
After Ye Xi and Tian Yue put the iron rings on their legs, they looked at Golden Crocodile.
"During the warm-up, you cannot use your Spirit, nor can you use spirit power."
"Let's start now. Just follow behind me. Don't fall behind."
Golden Crocodile said, then walked unhurriedly forward.
Although Golden Crocodile seemed to be walking slowly, Ye Xi and Tian Yue had to run to keep up.
