"Whats going on? Why hasnt Chu Feng come back yet!"
Somewhere in the square, Su Meis eyebrows were furrowed, her beautiful eyes scanning around, searching for Chu Fengs figure.
"Dont worry, with his cultivation, as long as he doesnt enter that area, its impossible to encounter any trouble in the Ghost Horn Forest. He must be too greedy, wanting to get better results, so hes still hunting the Ghost Horn Beast."
Su Rou stood beside Su Mei, wearing a white dress, slender and elegant, with every frown and smile captivating peoples hearts and souls, extremely alluring. This pair of sisterly flowers, wherever they went, would become the focus of attention for everyone, moving men to emotion and stirring women to jealousy.
"Sujou jie, Meier, long time no see!"
A magnetic voice sounded, and a handsome young man with a beautiful face walked over. He held a folding fan in his hand and placed it on his chest, truly elegant and refined, causing countless women present to turn their heads in surprise and admiration.
He drew attention not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because of the clothes he wore, which were the attire of a core disciple of Lingyun Sect. This person was actually a disciple of Qingzhous number one sect, "Lingyun Sect", and his cultivation had already entered the eighth level of Yuanwu.
"It turned out to be Shangguan Yu, didnt you also just return from the New Star Conference?" Upon seeing him, Su Rous eyes narrowed slightly as she gave a gentle smile.
The Shangguan family holds significant weight in Zhuque City, and although the current Zhuque City is dominated by the Su family, the Shangguan familys influence is not much weaker than that of the Su family. This Shangguan Yu is a representative figure among the younger generation of the Shangguan family and has already been recognized as the successor to the family heir.
"Whats so great about this new conference? Its just a second-rate city, and the people selected are just a bunch of good-for-nothings."
"If I were to let the talented ones from Zhuque City participate, not to mention the top ten, they wouldnt even make it into the top hundred. All the spots would definitely be taken by people from Zhuque City." Shangguan Jiao snapped his fan open and shut, exuding an air of arrogance.
"This is a newcomer conference, you are now nineteen years old, even if you let you participate, you dont have the qualifications." Su Mei gave her a glance, obviously not liking Shang Guan Yu.
As for Su Meis words, Shangguan Yu didnt get angry, instead he smiled slightly: "Meier, how can you say such things about your future husband?"
"Cut the crap, youre not my fiancé to begin with. Ive never acknowledged this engagement, so watch your mouth. And dont call me Meier, it makes me sick." Su Mei shot him a fierce glare before quickly walking away, as if unwilling to stand beside him.
"Su Ruo, Mei Ers temper is really too much. Although she is my fiancée, the way she speaks to me, I can tolerate it, but its really embarrassing in front of others." Shang Guan Hes face was full of grievances as he complained to Su Ruo.
"Hmm..." In response to his words, Su Rou first smiled slyly and then said: "Since you know she has a fiery personality, dont say these things to her again. After all, shes still young, and being willful is normal. You should be more considerate of her."
"Although you two have been engaged for a long time, its still better to win her over with sincerity. Otherwise, even if you get her person, you wont get her heart, which is not good for either of you."
"As an elder sister, I wont go against Fathers wishes, but neither will I let Xiaomei marry someone she doesnt love."
"So even if you have a marriage arrangement, you still need to make her truly fall in love with you. Otherwise, even I wont agree to her marrying you." After saying this, Su Rou chased after Su Mei.
The smile at the corner of Shangguan Yaos mouth was suddenly withdrawn, and a cold light surged in his eyes as he said coldly: "What I want to get, I will get sooner or later. No one can stop me!"
At this point, all the newcomers who participated in the Newcomer Conference have returned. The host of the conference has already selected the top ten based on the number of Ghost Horned Beasts they hunted.
These ten people are all disciples from the top sects, and they are all core disciples. Among them, Wan Wenpeng of Zijincheng is ranked tenth, while Chen Wanshi, a disciple of Lingyun Sect, is ranked second.
As for the one ranked first, it was a young man from Fengyuncheng. This Fengyuncheng could be said to be the strongest among the second-rate cities. The champion of the annual Newcomers Tournament had always been won by a newcomer from Fengyuncheng.
This year, this young man from Fengyuncheng is also outstanding and is a disciple of Lingyun Sect. His cultivation is also at the second level of Yuanwu, equal to Chen Yunxi.
But the whole persons momentum is completely different, it cant be said where its wrong, but in general, he seems to be stronger than Chen Yunxu.
As a result of this hunt for the Ghost Horned Beast, Chen Xiang had hunted 203, while this young man had hunted 415, which was more than double Chen Xiangs amount.
"Times almost up, let the newcomers take the stage." The host said.
"Just wait." But just then, Su Mei walked over.
"Miss San, is there anything?" The host was very respectful to Su Mei.
"There is still one person who hasnt handed over their prey, how can we start like this?" Sumis attitude was very dissatisfied.
"Is there still one more?" The host shifted his gaze towards the guard who was counting the scores.
"Ah..." Seeing this, the guard hastily flipped through the booklet in his hand, carefully looked at it for a while, and then said loudly: "Indeed, there is still one person who has not handed over the spoils."
"Who is it?" asked the host.
"His name is Chu Feng, from the Azure Dragon City. Hes a core disciple of the second-rate sect, Qinglong Sect, with cultivation at the 8th level of the Spiritual Martial Realm." The guard said loudly.
"Wow~~~"
As soon as this was said, the inside and outside of the square caused a commotion. A second-rate sect disciple didnt say anything, but just being in the eighth rank of Spiritual Martial Arts was already the worst among all the newcomers in terms of status and cultivation. People generally felt that someone like this wasnt worth waiting for.
"Third Miss, this person wouldnt even make it into the top ten if they were to offer themselves as a sacrifice, I think theres no need to wait any longer, right?" The host looked embarrassed at peoples reactions.
"How did you know he cant make it into the top ten?!" Su Meis small mouth pouted, her attitude becoming overbearing.
The hosts face turned pale and he was speechless. He truly didnt dare offend this third young lady.
"Lets just follow the rules, its not time yet so we have to wait. If he still doesnt come when the time is up, it wont be too late to start then." Su Rou walked over.
"Just listen to Second Miss!" Seeing this, the host nodded, compared to Su Meis willfulness and arbitrariness, Su Rou still had some dignity in Zhuque City.
But whats annoying is that the people inside and outside the venue are all dissatisfied, thinking its not necessary to wait for this person. However, considering the time is almost up, they still choose to wait.
As for the ten people who have already entered the top ten, they are even more at ease, their minds completely on each other, and they dont put Chu Feng in their eyes at all, thinking that waiting for Chu Feng is just a waste of time.
"Sorry everyone, Im late!"
Just as the crowd was in an uproar, a slender figure squeezed out of the crowd and entered the center of the square. Chu Feng had finally taken the stage!
