"Old man Zhang, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you be so insolent in front of me! Believe me, I'll fly to your Flowing Heart Academy and smash up your Evangelist Association!!"
Yun Shenhai has never been one to back down in a verbal battle, but he has never been as impulsive as he is today. A few words from someone have set him off like a firecracker.
Quan Ji sized up the "old man Zhang" in front of her and could sense that he was unfathomable.
Before she could think any further, Yun Shenhai pushed her forward from behind and introduced her:
"This is my precious disciple, Quan Ji. You all just have to watch how my darling disciple shines at this year's Preacher Association!"
Quan Ji: "..."
Hello.
She was inexplicably pushed out and forced to collect hatred points?
The other party was clearly taken aback when they heard the name Quan Ji.
"Quan Ji?"
Old Zhang narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the stunningly beautiful young woman before him.
He could see that this girl possessed an inexplicable leadership quality that made people subconsciously want to submit to her.
"That child who was the only one to be holyly consecrated by the Moon Goddess?"
Princess Quan cupped her hands in greeting, showing him considerable respect: "Indeed."
Old Zhang smiled and said, "What a coincidence! My precious disciple Simian is also the only Saint-Sealed One."
He pushed the girl next to him forward as well.
The girl's attire was somewhat androgynous; her dark green trousers gave her a slightly cool look. She had delicate features and a whirlwind design on her forehead.
She had short hair with longer sideburns and a braid, but her most beautiful feature was her pair of emerald green eyes, like a vast blue sky and ocean, leaving a deep impression and leaving people in awe of their beauty.
Her gaze had been fixed on Quan Ji, her face slightly flushed. She clasped her hands together and bowed to Quan Ji, saying, "The only Holy One, Qingwei of the Gale Holy Court, the Knight of the Wind, Feng Simian, greets Miss."
When Feng Simian uttered those words, her mind went almost blank.
The words seemed etched into her very being; she uttered them naturally, without a second thought.
Moreover, she felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity with the "young lady" in front of her.
But this was clearly only their first meeting.
Quan Ji also cupped her hands in greeting to Feng Simian: "The only Saint-Sealed One, Miss Quan Ji of the Holy Glory Empire."
As Feng Simian looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, feelings of affection for her blossomed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
This "young lady" is really beautiful.
The two hit it off immediately.
The two elders looked completely bewildered.
"You two know each other?!"
Both of them shook their heads simultaneously: "We don't know each other."
The two elders looked at each other in surprise: "Then why do you two look so familiar?"
Quan Ji smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because we hit it off immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two children's hands were grabbed by their parents and pulled to either side.
Yun Shenhai whispered to Quan Ji, "My dear disciple, do you know who that old man was just now?"
Quan Ji thought for a moment: "To be able to have a grudge against my master, he must be one of the eight legendary preachers."
Yun Shenhai was taken aback at first, then nodded: "That's right, this bastard is called Zhang Yi. Back then, your master almost helped you find your master's wife, but I never expected that he, as my good brother, would actually interfere! From then on, he has been going against me. This Rising Star Competition is also one of the events in which we will compete!"
"Competition events?"
Quan Ji raised an eyebrow; she had a pretty good impression of the girl in front of her.
Yun Shenhai nodded solemnly: "This old man was only slightly inferior to me back then. All these years he has been trying to turn the tables and crush me. Fortunately, I was smart enough not to bother with him. He then became dissatisfied and wanted the preacher I trained to compete against this rising star he trained! I don't have high expectations for you. You don't need to be number one. Just beat her."
As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and added, "But if you really can beat this little girl, you'll probably be no different from number one... unless another stronger dark horse emerges."
"This little girl is the Holy Maiden of the Gale Holy Court. She has received countless resources since she was a child. I have to say... she is indeed something."
Upon hearing this, Quan Ji became more interested and looked at Feng Simian again.
Feng Simian also looked her over, and the two stared at each other.
Although they both had feelings for each other, in this situation, both of them had a certain competitive spirit.
The two said in unison, "Please give me your guidance."
Then, the two old men started arguing.
What could the two younger generation possibly say?
They could only retreat silently and chat with each other.
Quan Ji extended her hand first, with a graceful posture.
"Hello."
The wind knight then extended his hand and said, "Hello."
The two chatted casually, and as they exchanged information, they discovered that both elders were actually using each other to elevate themselves.
The mad old man told Quan Ji that he had been stronger than Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi then told Feng Simian that he was stronger than the mad old man, and that neither of them knew the other.
The two hit it off immediately, truly feeling like old friends.
The concept of the Holy Court is independent of the Empire on the continent of Noah.
They often have a strong obedience to the gods, taking it as their duty to serve them and conveying the thoughts of the local deity.
The powerful Holy Court is in no way inferior to the Empire, and the Gale Holy Court is a prime example.
As the Holy Maiden of the Gale Holy Court, Feng Simian exudes an air of ultimate elegance and freedom in both her upbringing and demeanor, making people feel very relaxed when they are around her.
But they didn't talk for long before they were pulled backstage.
The Rising Star Competition is about to begin.
On the way, Yun Shenhai gave the two of them a science lesson.
"The rules of the Rising Star Tournament are three rounds. The first round is a test of the Truth Text, leaving the strongest 100 people on the field. The second round is the application of techniques, leaving the final 10 people. The last round is a free-for-all mode, where it is stipulated that only the methods of the Preacher can be used to fight. Only those who remain on the stage at the end can be considered the true winners."
Both of them understood, thanked them, and went backstage. There were already many people backstage, and a venomous gaze was fixed on them, but no one noticed.
The two elders had their own procedures to complete, so they didn't spend much time with them.
After they left, Feng Simian finally let out a breath and laughed, as if she had been suppressing her emotions for a long time.
Her laughter was like a wind chime, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
She said, "Quan Ji, I will not lose to you."
Upon hearing this, Quan Ji raised an eyebrow slightly.
She didn't feel much competition from the other person's words, but instead calmly replied in a cool tone, "The same."
Just then, a mocking voice reached everyone's ears.
"Oh, which poor, remote village girl is this? I wonder what methods she used to get the Mad Legendary Preacher to take her as his disciple. She has such a rustic air about her, it's really embarrassing."
