Just as Chen Tianwen was lost in thought, a gasp of surprise came from below the platform.
"The people from Fengtian Sect have arrived!"
"Look! The Sect Master of Fengtian Sect has actually come in person!"
"Is the young man following behind the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect the Holy Son of Fengtian Sect?"
"That's right, it's the Holy Son Qi Huang, who is the number one expert among the younger generation in our Gan Region."
Wow, so handsome!
Chen Tianwen looked in the direction of the cheers and saw two people walking towards him. The one in the lead had an air of otherworldly wisdom and was the leader of the Fengtian Sect that everyone was talking about.
The young man behind the Fengtian Sect Master had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his gaze was filled with a cold light. He must be the Holy Son Qi Huang that they were talking about.
"Fengtian Sect? The number one sect in the entire region has finally appeared."
Chen Tianwen sighed inwardly, but his gaze fell on the Holy Son Qi Huang.
The top expert among the younger generation in the Ganyu region, and also his formidable rival in the inter-realm war.
Unlike Mu Bai, the Holy Son of the Refining Heart Cave, Qi Huang did not have that arrogant aura. He gave people a calm and composed feeling. The more he was like this, the more Chen Tianwen felt that this person should not be underestimated!
The Sect Master of Fengtian Sect and his Holy Son Qi Huang walked gracefully towards the platform. The bustling crowd below the platform unconsciously made way for them. Facing the respectful crowd, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect and his Holy Son Qi Huang did not look to either side and walked straight towards the platform.
On the high platform, those who had already taken their seats stood up and bowed to the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect.
At this moment, all the elders of Chao Shengzong also appeared to welcome the sect leader of Fengtian Sect.
"Sect Leader Qi's presence is an honor to Chao Shengzong!"
Elder Wen led the way, bowing to the sect leader of Fengtian Sect.
"Elder Wen, you're too kind."
The sect leader of Fengtian Sect finally showed an expression, smiled slightly, and said to Elder Wenshe.
The sect leader of Fengtian Sect looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him respectfully. Only Chen Tianwen, who was sitting in the main seat, remained seated. His eyes narrowed slightly, but it was only for a moment.
"Elder Wen, where is Fairy Lanxin?"
When the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect mentioned Fairy Lanxin, a strange light appeared in his eyes.
Although the elder of the literary society was annoyed, his expression remained unchanged as he replied:
"Reporting to Sect Master Qi, my sect master will arrive shortly."
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect nodded and walked to the main table, sitting down in the frontmost position. The Holy Son Qi Huang was also invited by a group of young talents to sit at the front table.
At the main table, only the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect and Chen Tianwen were present, but neither of them took the initiative to speak to the other.
The sect leader of Fengtian Sect was mindful of his status. After all, wherever he went, others would take the initiative to greet him, while a mere young man in the late stage of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was not worth him taking the initiative to speak to.
Chen Tianwen, on the other hand, felt that although you were the sect leader of the largest sect in the Ganyu region, what did it have to do with me? I was just passing by. If you ignored me, why should I pay attention to you?
Moreover, Chen Tianwen had just heard the strange expression on the face of the Fengtian Sect Master when he mentioned Fairy Lanxin, which made Chen Tianwen very unhappy. How dare someone make a move on Fairy Lanxin!
The people on the other platforms didn't care about anything else. After the Sect Master of Fengtian Sect took his seat, they all came forward to toast him.
"Young Master Qi, I'd like to offer you a toast."
Mu Bai was happy to have some peace and quiet since his elders from his sect were toasting the sect leader of Fengtian Sect. So he came to Qi Huang's side and picked up his wine cup.
After Qi Huang clinked glasses with Mu Bai, he ignored Mu Bai completely.
Mu Bai, however, didn't seem to care and simply sat down next to Qi Huang.
Qi Huang frowned, but still didn't say anything.
"Young Master Qi, do you recognize that gentleman?"
Mu Bai seemed to have long been accustomed to Qi Huang's coldness. He pointed at Chen Tianwen and asked Qi Huang a question.
Qi Huang looked in the direction Mu Bai was pointing and saw Chen Tianwen sitting in the main seat. He shook his head.
Seeing Qi Huang shake his head, Mu Bai perked up, shifted his chair closer to Qi Huang, and continued:
“Young Master Qi, you don’t know this. This gentleman is likely a prodigy from the Central Region. I’ve already met him. If you’re interested, Young Master Qi, I can introduce you to him.”
Qi Huang was quite disgusted by Mu Bai's overly friendly attitude, but as the Holy Son of the second largest sect, he couldn't make things too awkward for Mu Bai, so he said calmly:
“Young Master Mu Bai, whether he comes from the Central Region or not is none of our business. As for your suggestion of an introduction, I think it's unnecessary! In the cultivation world, strength always comes first. If your strength is insufficient, no matter how cunning you are, it will be of no use.”
Mu Bai was dismissive of Qi Huang's lecturing, thinking, "Of course you can say that if your sect is powerful."
Moreover, everyone knows that your Fengtian Sect was able to rise to prominence only because it was backed by the powerful Shengyun Sect.
If you're really as aloof as you claim, then go ahead and sever ties with the Holy Cloud Sect!
However, Mu Bai absolutely could not say these words. He chuckled and continued:
"Young Master Qi, you may not know this, but don't be fooled by the fact that that fellow is only at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. I believe his combat strength is no less than mine!"
Qi Huang glanced at Mu Bai and said:
"So what?"
Mu Bai was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Qi Huang seemed to have opened a floodgate of words and continued:
"His strength is none of our concern. If he participates in the Interdimensional War, we will naturally encounter him, and then we will see who is stronger. Besides, even if we cultivate good relations now, others will not show any consideration during the Interdimensional War!"
Qi Huang said to Mu Bai with a hint of disappointment:
“Young Master Mu Bai, I am going to participate in the inter-domain war. Moreover, I heard that many reclusive sects in the Central Region will send experts to participate in the war. For the sake of the reputation of the Central Region, you and I should cultivate diligently and not keep focusing on those crooked and evil methods.”
Mu Bai was surprised that Qi Huang would start lecturing him, but considering Qi Huang's status, Mu Bai could not take his leave and could only sit there and listen to Qi Huang's endless nagging.
Mu Bai regretted not checking the almanac before going out. Why were all the people he encountered being perverts? Mr. Chen Tianwen was indifferent to him, and now Qi Huang was lecturing him.
How could someone who is supposed to be a holy son of a sect have fallen to such a state?
Fortunately, after a burst of cheers, Qi Huang finally stopped lecturing and turned his attention to the source of the cheers!
