"The detailed information is still in the main building..."
"Give me back the IOU!"
"Young master, please don't be anxious! It takes no more than ten days to travel from here to the main building and back by fast horse. The information will be in your hands within ten days."
He Yunxiao nodded reluctantly. "Do you have the latest versions of the 'Qingyun Ranking' and 'Supreme Ranking'? Let me take a look."
Nangong Jin laughed and said, "It's a small matter. I'll have someone fetch it right away."
Before long, eight booklets were delivered to He Yunxiao and Nangong Jin's desks.
These are the "Qi Kingdom Version of the Qingyun List", "Yan Kingdom Version of the Qingyun List", "Wilderness Version of the Qingyun List", and "Nine Provinces Version of the Qingyun List". The Supreme List is the same, with a total of eight books.
Qi, Yan, and Manhuang are three regional rankings. Kyushu is the overall ranking.
He Yunxiao skipped the regional rankings and looked at the overall rankings.
He Yunxiao was surprised to find his name on the list.
"He Yunxiao, the eldest son of Marquis Wuqing, has a ninth-rank cultivation level. His peak achievement was: single-handedly killing thirty-six Yan army cavalrymen and leaving safely. He ranks one hundred and twenty-first on this list."
Nangong Jin cupped his hands and said, "Young master, don't be anxious. I have already reported the news of your slaying of Yan general Chang Wu to the main building. In the next edition of the Qingyun Ranking, you will surely be among the top fifty young talents in the Nine Provinces."
Then He Yunxiao saw "Chu Fan" again, and his brother-in-law's battle record was densely packed. His brother-in-law had also displayed great skill at the Liu family's sword-testing tournament, and had killed many Yan soldiers. At this moment, he was prominently ranked eighth on the Qingyun Ranking.
The brother-in-law is a few ranks above the Grandmaster level at a young age, so he has the reputation of being the "Number One Ninth Rank in the World".
As for the main characters, this ranking is only natural.
He Yunxiao put down "The List of Qingyun" and started reading "The List of Supreme Beings", but he found something wrong with the list.
"Brother Jin, why is the Supreme Ranking full of Grandmasters? Why are there no Great Grandmasters listed?"
Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Young Master He doesn't understand. Grandmasters form their own schools and cannot easily make moves in the mortal world, so they are not included in this list. Moreover, when a Grandmaster makes a move, there are very few witnesses, and not much information to rank them."
He Yunxiao, a seasoned bookworm, had read many novels, many of which featured a similar premise: "Masters cannot intervene." He Yunxiao was puzzled and directly asked, "Why can't Grandmasters intervene? With their martial arts prowess, even if they wanted to, no one would dare stop them, right?"
"Someone dares to stop me."
"who?"
"Tai Xu Sect".
"The Taixu Sect?"
"That's right. Legend has it that if any grandmaster dares to attack the mortal world without cause, the Taixu Sect will send Taoist priests down the mountain to act on behalf of Heaven and kill that grandmaster."
Perhaps it was from reading too many novels, but He Yunxiao had a strange intuition. This "Taoist priest descending the mountain" couldn't possibly be a woman, could it? Hopefully, she won't be another female protagonist like the Yan Emperor!
