Chapter 789: Chapter 791: Rejected
The car hadn’t yet entered Cangming County, but those inside were already saturated by the atmosphere of the road.
The closer they got to Cangming County, the more martial artists they saw proceeding ahead.
They carried swords, spears, bows, and arrows without any restraint, so wearing sect apparel, others in uniform family garb.
Each team consisted of six people.
From the looks of it, everyone had received the sa invitation.
Within each team, there were martial artists of various ranks.
To Xia Liu’s surprise,
he had overestimated the strength of these families and sects.
Many teams didn’t even have a single Heaven-Rank martial artist, and so only had Mid-Level Earth-Rank warriors.
Throughout his journey, he hadn’t encountered any Earth-Rank High-Level martial artists.
This was truly unexpected.
However, after giving it so thought, it was probably due to preconceived notions.
Having dealt with major families in Yanjing and even clashed with a Super Clan, and being the Heavenly Mansion Chief,
Xia Liu had always moved in the upper echelons of the Huaxia Warrior Realm.
In a remote province like the Western Province, Heaven-Rank warriors were pitifully scarce.
Even Earth-Rank warriors were extrely rare.
It seed that at least half of the teams arriving at the scene were just there for the excitent.
Without Heaven-Rank or Earth-Rank warriors, even if a team won two matches, so what?
How could a family without even a single Heaven-Rank warrior command respect?
They surely had the sense not to compete on the stage.
Therefore, in this competition,
the families or sects that would participate were probably only around a dozen or so, or even fewer.
That was Xia Liu’s guess, but the specifics would only be revealed tonight.
In front of their car was a procession that resembled a long dragon.
Most were high-end luxury cars, such as Rolls-Royces, multimillion-dollar Bentleys, and even stretched Maybachs.
A veritable gathering of luxury cars,
ordinary martial artist families were very wealthy.
Within such a convoy, Xia Liu’s Wuling Hongguang was an odd sight,
even more distinctive than the Rolls-Royces.
It caught everyone’s eye at a glance.
After more than an hour in the slow-moving queue, the car finally entered the town.
Or rather, it couldn’t be said to have entered inside.
Before coming in, they were asked to park at the town gate.
Yes, the town gate.
This Cangming County had actually built a continuous wall around it.
The height must have been around twenty ters.
At the extensive stretches, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense couldn’t cover it all.
You can imagine how ridiculous this was.
After entering the town, following the instructions of the guards, Xia Liu went to look for a guide in a certain shop.
After several inquiries, they arrived at the shop.
This shop was sowhat quiet.
Those in the know were aware that martial artist teams had already found soone before even coming to Cangming County,
having arranged all their accommodations and travel; once here, they could rest and then wait to enter the venue.
Leaving Li Qianqian and Lin Xiaotian to wait outside, Xia Liu entered the shop alone.
The shop was large, with many chairs inside, tea sets laid out on them, and on the sofas to the side, there were many girls lounging with legs crossed.
The mont Xia Liu entered, these girls all stood up simultaneously.
Then, with her hands gently pinched at her waist, she bowed to Xia Liu.
They were all dressed in light cyan cheongsams, their refined features revealing a beauty that seed otherworldly.
Xia Liu didn’t care about that.
He had already found out the information he needed.
Teams that ca here without a previously arranged guide could only search for one upon arrival.
Whether or not the guides agreed to help depended on their mood.
If a guide had been contacted in advance, no matter the quality of the team, the guides were obliged to serve them well upon their arrival.
That was the rule.
The handso Xia Liu naturally attracted the glances of many ladies.
One of the ladies gracefully approached Xia Liu, “Excuse , handso, do you need a guide?”
While speaking, she also cast a flirtatious glance at Xia Liu.
“Hmm, I’m here for the Martial World Society event, the city guards told
to co here, so…”
“Handso, you’d better choose
as your guide. I’m very familiar with the Martial World Society event. Let
lead you and your friends, and surely you’ll catch up with all the preliminaries.”
“Ah, let Mu i get ahead again!”
“Damn it, Mu i is prettier than any of us; there’s no way this guy could refuse her.”
“If I had known earlier, I would have just waited at the entrance to et and greet him before he even ca in.”
The ladies who were about to step forward were bitterly joking.
It wasn’t easy to co across a brother with such incredible looks, and now they had just missed their chance.
Xia Liu scrutinized this woman nad Mu i, her lon-seed-shaped face reminding him of those who would go to the land of “stick-country” to get plastic surgery. Her double eyelids were so regular and neat that it was hard to believe she was a natural beauty.
Xia Liu naturally had no other thoughts about Mu i, “Hmm, well, thank you, beautiful lady. How much do you charge?”
“For teams coming here, it’s the sa, one hundred thousand yuan. If it’s booked over the phone, then it’s two hundred thousand.”
Mu i replied earnestly.
“Can I pay with a card?” asked Xia Liu.
“Of course, but before that, please show
your invitation letter.”
Mu i smiled delicately, her beautiful eyes lingering on Xia Liu’s face.
However, when Xia Liu showed her the invitation letter, her face suddenly turned ugly.
“Osmanthus Sect? What the hell is that?”
Mu i was completely baffled.
She had been in Cangming County for so years, but she had never heard of this sect.
“Cough, cough, it’s just a small sect that was established a few days ago, it really isn’t much.”
Xia Liu said humbly.
However, as soon as Xia Liu spoke, it provoked laughter throughout the crowd.
“Giggle giggle, who would have thought, Mu i has had her mont too.”
“There’s a saying that fits well here, who doesn’t get their shoes wet when they always stand by the river, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“Awkward, isn’t it? If the team you’re guiding doesn’t participate in the arena matches, the hundred thousand yuan fee for guidance won’t even be worth ten thousand. How interesting.”
“Actually, getting ten thousand is not bad; I could spend a few days with such a handso guy.”
“Really? Mu i definitely won’t lead this team, so why don’t you go ahead?”
“Tsk tsk! I wouldn’t dream of it. I have an indescribable fear of handso n; he’s better off with you girls.”
“Giggle giggle…”
Xia Liu smiled lightly, attentively listening to the playful banter of the ladies around him.
He had already gathered so useful information.
Only by leading teams that participated in arena matches could a guide earn more.
“My apologies, senior, I just rembered I have a team that called , I need to wait for them,” Mu i said calmly to Xia Liu after weighing her options.
“Oh? We actually plan to participate in the arena matches and even have a good chance of winning. Are you sure you don’t want to guide us?”
“Hahaha! What a joke, the final championship of the arena matches can only belong to the Yan Family from Western Province!”
