The invitation from the Thousand Stars Society was still somewhat attractive to Shen Qian. He didn't care much about growing together; what interested him more was the opportunity to interact with the nation's top geniuses.

gurgle gurgle!

The same bird call as before rang out, and to everyone's surprise, two more spirit pigeons flew into the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

"besides?"

Everyone in the restaurant was taken aback.

Two pigeons streaked across the restaurant, circling for a while before landing on a table on the first floor.

"It's those two perverts from Mingcheng." Many people guessed what it was.

The so-called "Mingcheng perverts" are actually a pair of mysterious twin siblings, the brother named Cao Qian and the sister named Cao Wen.

In Shen Qian's perception, these two were stronger than Geng Qianqiu, and even Shen Qian felt threatened by them.

However, the brother and sister were much more low-key, and they sat in the corner. If it weren't for the commotion caused by the spirit pigeons, probably not many people would have noticed them.

"Dear Ms. Cao Wen, 'Qianxing Society' extends its sincerest greetings to you and formally invites you to join our society in order to share resources and grow together. If you do not agree to this invitation, you may cancel it at any branch of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association within seven days."

To: Huaxia Martial Arts Association, Qianxing Society

"Respected Mr. Cao Qian..."

As the golden pages burned, the same information appeared before the two siblings, reigniting the discussion among the crowd in the hall.

"There really are more!"

"The Thousand Star Society acted very quickly this year..."

"You know what, countless clubs have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in recent years. Perhaps the Thousand Stars Club has also felt the urgency?"

"Bullshit! The Thousand Stars Society is so prestigious, why would it care about the competition from those small clubs... Besides, who can refuse the Thousand Stars Society?"

Before the murmurs of the crowd had subsided, the birdsong began again.

"here we go again……"

This time, everyone was much calmer, watching as the spirit pigeon circled for a while before landing on the shoulder of the bright-eyed, white-toothed girl from Xicheng.

"Dear Ms. Li Jiaqi..."

"It seems that we were right. The Thousand Star Society did indeed obtain some of the candidates' physical fitness test scores in advance through some channel."

Ouyang Fei stroked his chin and said.

"Why hasn't the messenger pigeon that was supposed to send a message before the sinking arrived yet?"

"It should be soon. These spirit pigeons are obviously being released one by one."

The test takers in Jingcheng chatted with smiles, their minds quite relaxed.

They had fought against Shen Qian before and acknowledged his strength, so they didn't think there would be any surprises.

After thinking about it, Shen Qian felt that there shouldn't be a big problem. Even if he didn't get a perfect score, he had weighed around 1000 kg in both tests, which was also top-notch.

Meanwhile, many people in the restaurant were also glancing at the table of Jingcheng examinees, observing them intently.

Guji~

Another spirit pigeon flew in through the window and flew straight toward Shen Qian and the others.

"They're here!" Ouyang Fei said with a smile.

But then, to everyone's astonishment, the pigeon circled once and landed on Gu Zifang's shoulder.

This result surprised everyone.

The golden pages burned, and a curtain of light appeared in mid-air.

"Dear Ms. Gu Zifang..."

Gu Zifang herself was a little stunned, then overjoyed.

"I actually received an invitation too!"

After a moment of surprise, Shen Qian laughed and said, "It's not surprising, is it? You were just a little bit away from reaching the top. There aren't many people in the whole country who are better than you. Don't you even have that much confidence?"

"But why haven't you sent your invitation yet?"

After her initial joy, Gu Zifang was filled with doubt.

At that moment, the birdsong rang out for the sixth time, and a pigeon flew in through the window.

"They're here..."

The people of Jingcheng had just started to smile when they froze.

Because the spirit pigeon flew straight past them and back to the table where the Tongcheng examinees were sitting.

"Dear Mr. Han Junjie..."

This time, it was another genius from Tongcheng who received the invitation.

Next, four more spirit pigeons entered the Nine Heavens Pavilion, all from invitations sent by the Thousand Star Society.

After that, it was as if it had ended, and there was no further movement.

As darkness fell and the meal was nearly finished, no more spirit pigeons arrived. The atmosphere inside the Nine Heavens Pavilion became somewhat eerie, and many people looked at Jingcheng's table with strange expressions.

Because the theoretically strongest person in Jingcheng did not receive an invitation from the Thousand Star Society!

Candidates from different cities would share information with each other, and although Shen Qian was not well-known before, he has recently become famous, and at least more than half of the people present probably know of his existence.

Shen Qian himself was somewhat surprised that he hadn't been invited?

Theoretically, if Gu Zifang could receive it, he shouldn't have missed it, but at this moment, Shen Qian himself didn't know where the problem lay.

Footsteps sounded, and a crew-cut young man with sharply defined eyebrows walked over with the people from Tongcheng.

"Just an empty reputation?"

Geng Qianqiu said four words with a playful tone, then laughed heartily and turned to leave.

The faces of everyone in Jingcheng turned grim, especially the faint chuckles around them, which they found particularly grating.

It was peak checkout time, so Cao Qian and Cao Wen didn't pay much attention to Shen Qian. They just glanced at him indifferently before getting up and leaving.

As for Li Jiaqi from Xicheng, she didn't even glance in their direction from beginning to end, completely ignoring Jingcheng and the others.

"Shenqian, did you... underperform?"

Chen Peng hesitated several times before finally asking the question.
