Chapter 112: Comparing Facades

  "Ten thousand brothers, I never thought youd become the core disciple of Listening Wind Sect. Youre truly the number one among my juniors in Purple Gold City."

  "Wan Gege, at the age of eighteen, you have already entered the Yuan Wu realm. Little sister is so envious."

  "Ten thousand brothers come out, this time I will definitely get the first place in the New Star Conference at Imperial City."

  After Wan Wenhong appeared, the remaining young men and women in the hall all stood up and went forward to greet him, seemingly old acquaintances.

  "You all really overestimate me, Wan Wenpeng. Lets not mention other cities, there are many talented people in this city of Zijin alone, and I dont dare claim to be the first."

  Wan Wenhong humbly shook his head, but it was clear from the smile on his face that he enjoyed being praised by others.

  "Huh? Isnt it that among the younger generation in Zi Jin City, theres someone even stronger than Wan Brother?" People expressed their surprise.

  "Didnt you all know that I, Chen Wanxi, the young mistress of the City Lords Manor in Zijin City, had already entered the Yuanwu Realm a year ago and is now a core disciple of the Lingyun Sect?" asked Wan Wenpeng with a smile.

  "Wan Brothers news is really well-informed, we just found out about this not long ago, and unexpectedly Wan Brother also knew." The two young men who had previously mocked Chu Feng spoke up, as they were inner disciples of the Lingyun Sect, they naturally knew about the affairs of the Lingyun Sect.

  "Is that really the case?" At this moment, several others were shocked. Lingyun Sect was the number one sect in Qingzhou, and becoming a core disciple of Lingyun Sect would be equivalent to becoming a proud son of heaven, with an identity and status that they couldnt compare to.

  Even if he was a core disciple of the Wàn Wén Pēng sect, he still fell short compared to the core disciples of the Líng Yún Sect.

  "Chen Wangxi is indeed formidable, but I heard that many years ago she left in anger after her mothers death and hasnt returned to Zijin City for several years. Its unlikely shell come back this year for the New Star Conference either, because in her eyes, the honor and shame of Zijin City are no longer relevant to her." Someone sighed.

  "Who says I wont be back?" Just then, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall, causing everyone to stare in surprise.

  Only a young girl was standing outside the hall, coldly staring at several people inside the hall. Behind her, Chen Hui and other generals were also standing there, and it didnt take much thought to know that this girl was the one known as Chen Wanxi.

  "...". Chen saw that the young man who had spoken earlier was now pale and dared not speak again.

  "Alas, little sister, is it you? Do you still recognize me, Wan Wenpeng?"

  Seeing this, Wan Wenpeng tidied up his clothes and walked over with a smile. Chen Wanjing had left the Purple Gold City as a little girl back then, but now she had grown into a slender and elegant young lady. Although her face had changed a lot, that unique cold and elegant temperament was still there.

  "Chen Hui, the journey to Zhuque City is far away, lets set off early." However, surprisingly, Chen Wenxi didnt even glance at Wan Wenpeng and directly called out his fathers name.

  For this situation, Chen Hui just smiled dryly and arranged for a horse carriage to take Chu Feng and the others to Zhuque City.

  As for Wan Wenpeng, he was completely at a loss, standing stupidly in place, unsure of what to do. Because no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt have imagined that Chen Wenzhen would treat him like this.

  "Hmm, this girl is quite arrogant, but she also has some capital to be proud of."

  As for this scene, Chu Feng, as an onlooker, smiled slightly because he had already seen that Chen Wuyi had the cultivation of Yuan Wus second layer. At such a young age with such strength, it was indeed extraordinary, at least within Qing Long Sect, very rare.

  After that, Chen Hui called for ten carriages, each of which was very luxurious. There were all kinds of delicious food in the carriage and maidservants serving them. It can be seen that Chen Hui still attaches great importance to Chu Feng and others.

  But thinking carefully, its normal after all. These ten people are the most outstanding young talents within a thousand miles, each with extraordinary talent, and their future achievements are boundless.

  Perhaps one day, someone will become a big shot in Qingzhou, and when that time comes, not only will Zijincheng be ignored, but even Zhuquecheng will also be completely disregarded.

  For such a character, even if Chen Huigui was the city master, he wouldnt dare to offend him and could only flatter and fawn over him.

  Thus, under the escort of the imperial army in the Forbidden City, ten luxurious horse-drawn carriages advanced into Zhuque City and finally arrived at their destination five days later.

  The Zhuque City was built on the mountain, and it didnt have the luxury that I had imagined, but a simple ancient city filled with an old mysterious atmosphere.

  Zhuque City is comparable to the second-rate sect Qinglong Sect in terms of strength, but in terms of status, it is not inferior to a first-rate sect. As for the reason, its naturally because of the protection of the Jiang Imperial Court.

  So even if all parties are talented, they are all disciples of the same sect, in the territory of Zhuque City, they do not dare to be half disrespectful, on the contrary, they all want to establish some relationship with Zhuque City.

  Of course, in this world where strength is respected, what they fear is not Zhuque City, but the Jiang clan imperial dynasty behind it, that enormous entity ruling over the nine provinces.

  At this moment, in the magnificent giant square of Zhuque City, twenty teams of people stood neatly, and all twenty secondary cities under the jurisdiction of Zhuque City had arrived.

  Twenty city masters, each bringing their carefully invited young talents, stepped down from the carriages, and the disciples from various sects, wearing their unique attire, gathered in the center of the square.

  "Hey, isnt this Chen Hui?"

  A group of people walked towards Chen Hui and others, led by a fat-headed and big-eared fatty, who was the lord of a second-rate city. He had some past grievances with Chen Hui, so the two had never gotten along.

  Behind Fatso, a group of young boys and girls followed, each with an arrogant expression, looking down on others, as if they wanted to lift their faces up to the sky.

  "Anything the matter?" Chen Huis eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked at the ten young men and women behind Fatso, who were all from Lingyun Sect. Among them was a core disciple, and he knew that Fatso had come to show off.

  "Look at what youre saying, weve known each other for a long time, cant we just say hello without any reason?"

  The fatty smiled slightly, narrowing his eyes as he sized up the people behind Chen Hui, including Chu Feng. However, when he saw Chen Xue, his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

  He thought that with so many powerful and talented individuals present, he could use the momentum to suppress Chen Hui and humiliate him. However, he did not expect Chen Hui to also bring along a core disciple from the Lingyun Sect, which made it difficult for him to speak up.

  However, when he turned his gaze to Chu Feng, he was suddenly overjoyed and immediately spoke up: "Chen Hui, is Purple Gold City so deserted that you even had to find a Qingyun Sect disciple to fill the quota?"

  "If you really cant find any decent younger generation in Zijin City, just tell me, brother, Ill lend you two, hahaha..."

  He said this sentence very loudly, intentionally letting everyone around him hear it. As expected, as soon as he spoke, people from all sides of the city cast their eyes over, and after seeing Chu Feng, they all curled up a hint of disdain at the corner of their mouths. For such a scene, a second-rate sect disciple was indeed unable to hold his own.

  As for this situation, Chen Hui was also at a loss for how to refute it. In fact, if Su Rou hadnt asked him to, he wouldnt have been willing to invite Chu Feng here either. After all, the various city lords had invited first-rate sect disciples, while only he, Purple Gold City, had found a second-rate sect disciple, which didnt look good on the surface.

  "Are you looking down on the people of Qinglong Sect?"

  Just then, a womans voice suddenly rang out. Everyone stared blankly ahead, only to see a pair of stunning sisters walking towards them in an unhurried manner. They were both wearing the attire of the second-rate sect "Qinglong Sect".
