In the private room on the second floor where Xie Xiu was, his handsome face was flushed red.
Across from her, Xie Daoyun covered her lips, already laughing so hard she was shaking. It took her a long time to fully recover: "Ah Xiu, I used to think you were shameless for flirting with other women everywhere, but after seeing you today, I realize that when it comes to shamelessness, you're just a little brother."
Xie Xiu said angrily, "Don't stop me, I'm going to have a good talk with him. I may not be as good as him in other aspects, but how could I possibly lose in terms of looks!"
Especially when he thought of that swaying scene in the secret realm, he realized that there was one thing he could never surpass, so how could he tolerate losing in other aspects as well?
"I didn't stop you." Xie Daoyun blinked, her eyebrows full of smiles. "Go down now and let the people in the hall judge who is more handsome between you two."
"I can't afford to lose face like this," Xie Xiujun said, his face burning as he looked at the sea of people below. "Sister, you've gone astray too."
Xie Daoyun blushed slightly: "It's all because I've been around you guys for too long, and you've become like me."
Those in the hall who recognized Zu An and Xie Xiu were all dumbfounded. Where did this guy get the audacity to impersonate the city lord's son in front of so many people?
You're just a live-in son-in-law, do you even deserve it?
Only Wei Suo gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my boss, Wei Suo. No wonder he can make so many stunning beauties fall head over heels for him."
“You don’t know anything, that’s because…” Wei Hongde, the older brother, suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his face turning very ugly.
Damn it, here comes the scene again!
"Why?" Due to his low strength, Wei Suo did not participate in the trip to the secret realm, and the other witnesses were all very secretive about the matter, so even someone as well-informed as him knew nothing about it.
"It's nothing, don't ask." Wei Hongde snorted and continued to look at the arena.
At this moment, Chu Yucheng and the others realized that this red-haired man was quite powerful, and dared not rush out blindly anymore. They all gathered around Zu An without realizing it.
Seeing Zuan's relaxed and nonchalant expression, the two brothers suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. Was this guy just too stupid or too thick-skinned? He didn't seem afraid at all.
After all, in their eyes, this guy's strength was far inferior to their own.
"Be careful, this guy might be a sixth-rank." Wang Yuanlong, who was standing to the side, was not quite clear about the situation. He was still quite grateful to Meng Zu'an for helping him out of a predicament and was worried that Meng Zu'an might suffer a great loss without knowing the truth, so he hurriedly reminded him.
To everyone's surprise, Zu'an nonchalantly replied, "A mere sixth rank? Back then, I fought to a draw with a Grandmaster. What is a sixth rank?"
Back then, Zhang Han was a ninth-rank official, Shi Lezhi was an eighth-rank official, and Shi Kun also summoned the Devouring Kun; they had all fought against each other.
He wasn't sure about the Empress's cultivation level, but in his opinion, she was at least a Grandmaster. He had fought her for hundreds of rounds, although that was because of the Rich Woman's Happy Ball. But those experiences of fighting super strong people were real, so it was really hard for a sixth-rank expert to stir his heart.
Unfortunately, the others didn't think so. The entire hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment, followed by a burst of loud laughter.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"He thinks he's so great that he can fight a Grandmaster to a draw?"
"A grandmaster would probably kill him with a single breath, wouldn't he?"
"Let alone a Grandmaster, he's probably never even seen a Ninth Rank master in his entire life, right?"
...
A chorus of mocking laughter erupted from the crowd; clearly, no one believed him.
Xie Daoyun, standing on the second floor, frowned deeply: "You encountered a Grandmaster in the secret realm?"
Xie Xiu shook his head: "No, but he did once unleash an aura no less than that of a ninth-grade cultivator. He should have come into contact with a ninth-grade cultivator. As for the Grandmaster, I suppose he was just bluffing."
Xie Daoyun snorted: "I hate men who lie all the time, especially when it's such an obvious lie. Not only is he dishonest, but he's also unwise. He's a terrible man."
Xie Xiu silently mourned for Zu An. He knew that his sister was easygoing and always treated people with gentleness and reason. He had never seen her use such extreme words to describe someone.
Pei Mianman, in a private room some distance away, didn't think the same way. Instead, she exclaimed, "Could this guy have really fought against a Grandmaster?"
After all, the two had fought to the death back then. At that time, he used almost every trick in the book except for his elemental abilities, but he still couldn't defeat him.
At that time, the other party seemed to have just started cultivating.
This guy's strength cannot be predicted by common sense; it's not impossible for him to defeat an opponent of a higher level.
However, she shook her head, dispelling the thought from her mind.
Grandmaster?
That's absurd.
Standing with Zu An, Chu Hongcai and the others passively received the attention of the entire audience, each one so embarrassed that they wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
If he hadn't stepped in to help, they probably would have run far away by now.
"I never expected that the young master of the prestigious Xie family would be such an arrogant and conceited fool. A Grandmaster, huh?" The red-haired man sneered.
Xie Xiu upstairs: "..."
This is what it means to be shot even when you're lying down!
Zu An also sneered: "I have already told you my name. May I ask how you should address me?"
The red-haired man proudly declared, "I am Xuan Cheng!"
Zuan replied, "Never heard of it."
As he spoke, he looked at his companions, Chu Yucheng, Chu Hongcai, and even Wang Yuanlong, and they all shook their heads. They had never heard of it either.
"After tonight, my name will resound throughout Brightmoon City, starting with you."
The red-haired man remained unperturbed, staring directly at Zu'an: "Since you claim to have fought against Grandmasters, do you dare to take three of my moves?"
