"I remember when I was their age, I was also very ambitious. Back then, the thing I said to my parents most often was that we would live in a house as big as the city lord's mansion and eat seafood every day..."
He shook his head.
“But haven’t you already done it?” Feng Manlin said with a smile.
“It’s different…” Shen Qian said softly, his meaning unclear.
Shen Qian didn't say what was different, and Feng Manlin and Qu Bai didn't ask any further, but they could sense that Shen Qian's mood seemed to have inexplicably dropped.
Luo Shenbo's residence in Shanghai was located by the river, not far from the hotel, but to show respect, the three of them still rented a long Hongqi limousine.
As the car slowly came to a stop in front of the castle-like villa, Shen Qian narrowed his eyes upon seeing the bustling crowd inside through the car window.
"Looks like there are quite a few guests today."
"Otherwise, why do you think I wanted to come? Although Lord Luoshen and my family have some connections, I really don't like this kind of occasion."
Qu Bai chuckled, “As the art of war says, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ Today, someone is going to set up the ‘Nine Heavens Ranking’ here, so we can’t miss it.”

His expression froze.
In fact, this is the biggest reason for his arrival today.
Right after the Nine Heavens Cup tournament ended, rumors began circulating that a mysterious person had used some kind of formation to predict the rankings of the Nine Heavens competition in advance, and that the results would be announced on a chosen day to reveal the inside story.
Originally, no one would have believed such a ridiculous rumor, but for some reason, it gradually spread in certain circles with apparent detail.
Shen Qian's acquaintances were not gossipy people. It was only when Shi Dingyan asked Shen Qian that Shen Qian realized something was amiss.
If a rumor can reach someone like Shi Dingyan who doesn't use the internet much, it must have something special about it.
The last rumor is that the mysterious person will set up the so-called Nine Heavens Ranking at the residence of Luo Shenbo today.
"I'm afraid many people who weren't originally invited will try every means to come, right?"
After the three of them got out of the car, Qu Bai smiled.
After Qu Bai finished speaking, he turned around and saw Shen Qian standing still with a strange expression, which surprised him.
"Shenqian, are you alright?"
Shen Qian came to his senses and shook his head to indicate that he was alright.
Just now, he suddenly sensed a dark, scrutinizing gaze, but he couldn't pinpoint its source.
Even a martial artist stronger than Shen Qian wouldn't normally act so rudely; in fact, this person would have to be much stronger than Shen Qian to do so.
"Let's go inside."
He exhaled a breath of stale air and took the lead in entering the manor gate.
