41: Chapter 41: All Parties Co to Court 41: Chapter 41: All Parties Co to Court “Ping——”
Nan Yuxin, furious, smashed a cyan jade vase to the ground.
The maids beside her were terrified and hastily tried to console her.
“Why does he have to be so rude to ?”
“I wasn’t bothering him, I was just curious about him!”
“Really, he doesn’t know how to cherish a lady’s affection at all!”
Sitting in the chair, huffing angrily, Nan Yuxin ranted, causing the maids to exchange glances—is she referring to Young Master Jun?
As maids of the Capital City of the Nation, they had heard of Young Master Jun as well.
To their surprise, their young mistress actually sought him out and returned with a bellyful of anger.
Could it be that Young Master Jun was unaware of the young mistress’s status?
The maids secretly wondered.
In Qianyue Kingdom, even the disciples of the three great sects wouldn’t dare act presumptuously before Nan Yuxin, considering her father Nan ng was an extraordinary existence at the Ascending Mortal Realm.
The words Ascending Mortal were self-explanatory!
“Who has upset my precious daughter so much?”
Just then, a hearty laugh ca from outside the room, followed by a burly middle-aged man striding in like a dragon and a tiger.
Standing nearly two ters tall, with a bear-like chest and a tiger-like back, his black brocade robe was stretched tight.
His features carried a sense of unprovoked fury with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the cold glint in his eyes was chilling.
He was none other than the first publicly acknowledged powerhouse of Qianyue Kingdom, the General of the Capital City of the Nation, Nan ng!
“Daddy…” Nan Yuxin pouted and called out.
“Tell , who had the nerve to upset you?” Nan ng laughed heartily, a tone that made Nan Yuxin feel like there was an implied aning in his words.
She couldn’t help but retort, “It was none other than that Young Master Jun, who didn’t give any face.”
“Young Master Jun?”
Nan ng’s brows furrowed deeply; he knew the na Young Master Jun had already spread to the court.
That very morning, Qin Yu boldly recomnded Guan Yu, and claid that Guan Yu was no weaker than Nan ng, which annoyed him in private while also making him take note of Young Master Jun and Guan Yu.
“Yes, Qianqian was curious and went to him, wanting to exchange moves, but…” The rest of the sentence was too embarrassing for Nan Yuxin to finish, as there had been so many onlookers at the ti.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t resentful towards Qin Jun because their brief exchange had allowed her to realize she was no match for him.
It was just Qin Jun’s indifferent attitude that had really irked her.
“Did you see the long-bearded hulk with Young Master Jun?” Nan ng casually inquired.
With the competition between the two kingdoms approaching, although confident in overcoming one match, he was uncertain about the remaining two.
This ti, Canglan Kingdom had actually sent two Ascending Mortal Realm powerhouses, causing a stir in the court and making the emperor anxious.
Only those in high positions understood the significance of the competition, as each contest involved resources bet.
The losing side not only had to compensate resources but would also be at a disadvantage in subsequent negotiations.
“I did not see him.
I only saw Young Master Jun,” Nan Yuxin shook her head, then clenched her teeth and added, “That man even played the mystery card, wearing a veil and refusing to show his real face.”
Nan ng’s brows furrowed even more.
It seed Young Master Jun had other plans.
…
The capital’s city gate.
Chang Qianqian hopped ahead in high spirits, followed by Xu Hai, the Great Elder of Xuanling Sect, and other disciples like Chang Hao, Zhuo Junjie, and Zhong Ling.
Their group of about twenty people, all donning the distinctive attire of Xuanling Sect, made the commoners and cultivators along the way give way.
“Xuanling Sect has arrived, too!”
“Purple Light Sect arrived just this morning, and now only Burning Mountain Valley is left.”
“Tsk, Purple Light Sect and Xuanling Sect have always been at odds, maybe there will be a clash.”
“Did you notice, even so of the large sects from Canglan Kingdom have sent people here?”
“The competition, which happens every five years, was last hosted by Canglan Kingdom, aning the capital only hosts once every ten years.
We’re in for a treat!”
The cultivators among the commoners discussed this among themselves.
In the capital, the distance between cultivators and commoners was quite close, as the cultivators did not dare to trouble the commoners, being under the emperor’s nose.
“I can’t wait to see Qin Jun,” Chang Qianqian turned and said to the group with a smile.
Apart from Chang Hao who looked sowhat sullen, everyone else laughed along.
The disciples who had co to the capital were mostly a generation above Chang Qianqian, so there was no jealous rivalry among them.
Zhuo Junjie gripped the long sword at his waist and said calmly, “I will challenge him again!
This ti, I will not be careless!”
Zhong Ling watched Zhuo Junjie, who had recovered from his lows, and her face showed a sense of pride and relief.
As the group chatted and laughed, after turning a few street corners, they ca across a group of cultivators clad in graceful purple robes, the disciples of Purple Light Sect—one of the three great sects.
“Hey, isn’t that Zhuo Junjie?
I heard you got defeated by an outsider in Xuanling Sect?”
The speaker was a handso young man, waving a feather fan in his hand.
His peak Foundation Establishnt aura was clearly displayed, making the cultivators on both sides of the street nervous.
“Lu Xuanfeng, stop looking for trouble!”
Zhong Ling warned sternly; the feather fan-wielding youth was none other than Purple Light Sect’s top talent, Lu Xuanfeng, second only to Zhuo Junjie in Qianyue Kingdom as a prominent figure of their respective sect’s younger generation.
Xu Hai snorted coldly, but as an elder, he wouldn’t interfere in the squabbles of the younger generation, as that would be an embarrassnt if word spread.
“No matter who defeats , I can still beat you, a sore loser,” Zhuo Junjie scoffed disdainfully at Lu Xuanfeng, prompting his fellow sect mbers to applaud.
Onlookers and other cultivators couldn’t help but admire him, thinking, truly befitting of the kingdom’s number one talent, so assertive even in speech!
Lu Xuanfeng looked incensed as he retorted coldly, “I will defeat you, but before that, I’ll first challenge the currently most renowned Young Master Jun in the capital!”
Young Master Jun?
Zhuo Junjie and others showed a curious look on their faces, Chang Qianqian blinked her large eyes which were full of imnse curiosity; rely hearing the na indicated this person was extraordinary.
Lu Xuanfeng gently waved his fan, turned with a smile, and said, “Zhuo Junjie, no matter how strong you are, you have your limits.
Compared to Young Master Jun’s skills, you still have a long way to go!”
Having said his piece, he led the Purple Light Sect disciples away.
Yet, his words cast a shadow on Zhuo Junjie’s expression, and the surrounding cultivators found it reasonable.
Young Master Jun himself had decent cultivation, could subdue extrely powerful figures, and even had a Holy Spirit Root genius as his follower.
He would surely grow to be a formidable overlord.
Compared to him, Zhuo Junjie, despite his great natural talent, might not even beco the leader of Xuanling Sect.
After all, Chang Tianyou was far from retiring.
The people of Xuanling Sect looked at each other, all rembering the na Young Master Jun.
…
Cliff Inn.
“Knock knock!”
Qin Jun, who was cultivating, was suddenly disturbed by a knock on the door.
He nonchalantly asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s You Fenghuang, a humble woman who hopes Young Master Jun would grace with an audience,” ca a soft, bell-like female voice from beyond the door—a voice that promised the speaker was a beauty.
Qin Jun pondered to himself, he had never heard the na You Fenghuang before, but he wasn’t afraid, as Roaring Sky Dog was sprawled next to him, fast asleep.
“Co in,” he said.
“Thank you for your permission, Young Master,” she replied.
As her words fell, the door was pushed open, revealing one of the untouchable, mysterious guests that Cliff Inn couldn’t afford to provoke—a lady in green clothes.
