"Young Master Situ."
The elder saw Situ Xingfeng and others coming over with smiles.
"Xingfeng pays his respects to the senior," Situ Xingfeng imdiately perford a greeting ritual.
"Qianqian pays her respects to the senior," Situ Qianqian also imdiately followed suit.
"No need to be polite," the elder chuckled, extrely approachable.
However, the youth standing behind him displayed a look of disdain.
The elder then turned to Xu Ping’an and said, "Young friend, we et again."
Xu Ping’an was slightly startled and then quickly ca to terms with the situation.
It seed that his disguise had not escaped the elder’s discerning eyes.
However, he wasn’t surprised, for after all, the elder was a Tenth Rank Expert, and it would indeed be strange if he couldn’t see through such a simple disguise.
"Senior, I am Wu Qing," Xu Ping’an stated his current assud identity.
"Has your strength improved again, my friend? It seems your talent is truly remarkable," the elder glanced at Xu Ping’an, expressing admiration.
"Tch, just Seventh Rank, Eighth Layer Realm? Elder, aren’t you praising him too much?" the youth standing behind the elder said discontentedly.
The look he gave Xu Ping’an was extrely disdainful.
"Wencai, do not be disrespectful," the elder scolded at once.
"I’m only speaking the truth, Elder. I’m only sixteen and already at the Seventh Rank Peak. He looks to be nineteen at most and is only at the Seventh Rank, Eighth Layer Realm. His talent is far inferior to mine. If I were nineteen, I’m certain I would have already broken through to the Ninth Rank," the youth argued, unconvinced.
Upon hearing this, Situ Qianqian beside them imdiately beca angry and wanted to retort, but was stopped by Situ Xingfeng.
Xu Ping’an, however, just smiled helplessly, not taking it to heart at all.
Since the youth was the elder’s grand-disciple, Xu Ping’an naturally wouldn’t bother arguing with him.
Besides, the young man was too young; how could he take offense to a child’s words?
"You are too arrogant. So true geniuses cannot have their strength asured by re surface cultivation. You will suffer for it sooner or later," the elder sighed.
"I am still better than him, and if you don’t believe it, I can spar with him. I’ll even use only one hand," the youth said disdainfully.
Xu Ping’an heard these words and shook his head with a wry smile, "Naturally, I am no match for this young genius."
"Elder, see? He won’t even take up the challenge. How skilled can he be?" the youth said contemptuously.
Upon hearing this, the elder shook his head and looked apologetically at Xu Ping’an, "Wencai is young, don’t take it personally. Honestly, I hope you would spar to show him how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. However, I am also aware of your difficulties, so I won’t force you against your wishes."
Xu Ping’an bowed slightly, his gesture tinged with apology.
If his identity weren’t so peculiar at the mont, he wouldn’t mind giving the elder a hand in educating this arrogant disciple.
But given his current status, it truly wasn’t convenient for him to take action.
"Master, stop wasting your ti with them. Aren’t we here to demand the Interdiate Grade Immortal Sword, Qingfeng Sword, from Lin Xian Sect? Why waste words with them?" the youth said impatiently.
"Shut your mouth," the elder scolded him imdiately.
Xu Ping’an frowned at this point.
Qingfeng Sword?
Wasn’t that the Immortal Artifact he left with Qingfeng Sect?
This sword, which he personally refined, was not only considered superior amongst Interdiate Grade Immortal Artifacts but was also not inferior to so High Grade Immortal Artifacts.
Most importantly, he had left within it a Sword Technique that he had once comprehended, the Qingfeng Sword Technique, a truly Eleventh Rank Combat Technique.
Qingfeng Sect had always treated it as a treasure of their sect; how could it have fallen into Lin Xian Sect’s hands?
Could it be that the Qingfeng Sword had been taken by Lin Xian Sect?
Many thoughts surged through Xu Ping’an’s mind.
However, the elder’s expression made it clear that retrieving the Qingfeng Sword would not be an easy task.
"Look quickly, people from the Fire Divine Palace are here, the Fire Divine Palace’s disciples have arrived." Just at that mont, a shout suddenly ca from a distance.
Imdiately, everyone turned their gaze towards the direction of the disciples from the Fire Divine Palace.
Xu Ping’an also looked towards the entrance.
He saw a group of more than a dozen young n and won walk in.
The clothes worn by these young n and won were embroidered with the pattern of a palace.
Xu Ping’an knew that this was the insignia of the Fire Divine Palace, and he had used this fact to his advantage to severely scam the people from Fire Divine Palace before.
"Wow, is that Luo Yong’an? He’s so handso."
"Yeah, he’s incredibly handso. It’s said that his strength has reached the Ninth Rank, and he’s the number one among the inner disciples of the Fire Divine Palace."
"So handso, just look at his eyes, so sharp, and his presence is so strong. He’s literally the man of my dreams. I’d be willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years just to be with him."
A series of exclamations from the female disciples could be heard all around.
Xu Ping’an looked at the young man leading the group and indeed found him extrely dashing and handso, even more so than Ning Shaocong whom he had seen before.
No wonder so many female disciples around were so excited. With such an appearance, even he had to admit the young man was truly handso.
Moreover, Luo Yong’an’s strength was indeed not weak, looking to be about twenty-eight years old, yet he had already reached the Ninth Rank Second Layer Realm. Such strength could be considered quite impressive.
With such looks and talent, coupled with his status as the number one of the Inner Sect of the Fire Divine Palace, these accumulated auras made him exceptionally dazzling.
At that mont, the young man at the front seed to be quite satisfied with the screams around him, as a faint smile lingered on his lips.
As for the other disciples, they were primarily at the Eighth Rank level.
However, Xu Ping’an was not truly paying attention to these. What really caught Xu Ping’an’s eye was a young man who appeared to only have Eighth Rank First Layer Realm cultivation.
This youth seed to be only about sixteen years old, but his true strength had already reached the Ninth Rank Fourth Layer Realm.
Ninth Rank Fourth Layer Realm at the age of sixteen?
Xu Ping’an’s first reaction was that this youngster was Fire Divine Palace’s third seed player.
"A re sparring match, and even the seed players are here?" Xu Ping’an muttered in surprise.
"Father?" Situ Xingfeng suddenly spotted Situ Lie approaching with a solemn expression and called out in surprise.
Xu Ping’an also turned his gaze towards Situ Lie, noticing that the latter’s complexion didn’t seem too good.
"Uncle, has sothing happened?" As Xu Ping’an was currently assuming the identity of Wu Qing, he naturally addressed Situ Lie as uncle.
Hearing Xu Ping’an’s question, Situ Lie finally looked up at him and said, "Wu Qing, this ti you may need to do sothing for your uncle."
"Uncle, just tell what it is. If I can manage it, I most certainly will," Xu Ping’an replied with slight surprise.
"Please represent Lieyang Royal Mansion in this gathering and sparring match, would that be alright?" Situ Lie said.
Xu Ping’an was taken aback, participate in the gathering?
Situ Xingfeng and Situ Qianqian by his side were also taken aback.
Have Xu Ping’an participate in the sparring match?
"But… Uncle…" Just as Xu Ping’an was about to answer, he saw Situ Lie gesture with his hand.
"Xu Ping’an, I understand your concerns, so I’ve thought about it. I can teach you my cultivation technique and combat skills. The cultivation technique I practice has spatial attributes, so you don’t have to worry about revealing yourself, nor about not being able to practice it, as anyone with spatial attributes can cultivate it, though it requires a very high level of comprehension, sothing you don’t lack," Situ Lie explained to Xu Ping’an through telepathy.
"Even so, if I practice your techniques, my strength in such a short ti would likely not be able to achieve the position you desire," Xu Ping’an thought for a mont and then responded through telepathy.
"Do your best. Originally, I did not intend for you to participate, but this session is unlike any before, and I do not want to have any regrets," Situ Lie said, not through telepathy this ti, but out loud.
Xu Ping’an and others like Situ Xingfeng all looked puzzled and confused.
Why would Situ Lie make such a decision?
