In the Chu Emperor District, the sky had already darkened. Seated on the Azure Jadeite Dragon Seat, Chu Tianjiao glanced at the sky as he spoke, "It's getting late, let's end the banquet here. I'm sure the Jun Lin Banquet tomorrow will be even more spectacular."
After speaking, Chu Tianjiao stood up. Although he wasn't old, he appeared to be extremely mature.
Those from the Royal Clan grew up in the midst of scheming, and were naturally more mature compared to their peers.
As the sound of Chu Tianjiao's voice faded, the representatives from the various powers all stood up and toasted Chu Tianjiao. After a toast, Chu Tianjiao left the banquet table, laughing and chatting with those beside him.
Qin Wentian gazed at the departing Chu Tianjiao. He could faintly sense that when Chu Tianjiao walked, he was actually half a step behind the person beside Luo Qianqiu. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to notice this change, but because Qin Wentian knew who the person beside Luo Qianqiu was, he paid extra attention to it.
The Nine Mystical Palace was the supreme power behind Chu, Snowcloud, and the other ten countries. Even if only a few of them came to Chu, their statuses would be comparable to the future Emperor of Chu. Chu Tianjiao didn't dare to offend them.
Qin Wentian naturally understood why the Nine Mystical Palace had such great influence. A sect that was above the Royal Clan, and even the Empires. There was no other reason than strength.
The higher Wu Xiu ascended, the more terrifying his strength would be, and the greater the disparity between him and those below him. Hence, there were many Yuanfu cultivators in Chu, and countless Arterial Circulation Cultivators. However, the great hurdle of Yuanfu was exceedingly rare.
As for those who had the ability to step into Heavenly Dipper, they had already left Chu. Chu was too small, and couldn't accommodate them. Hence, they either joined the Nine Mystical Palace, or joined other powers similar to the Nine Mystical Palace.
"What are you thinking about?" Unknowingly, Mu Rou appeared beside Qin Wentian. Noticing Qin Wentian's gaze, she couldn't help but smile.
"Nothing. It seems that you are in a good mood." Qin Wentian revealed a warm smile when he saw Mu Rou.
"I still have to thank you. Only now did I know that Senior Ram was an extraordinary character. Many years ago, he was the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, and now, he has extremely high achievements in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. Because of that painting of yours, I received a promise from Senior Ram, which helped me greatly." Mu Rou gently spoke. She didn't explain too clearly, but Qin Wentian could already guess what she meant.
"It's just a gift for your birthday. Don't take it to heart, or else it would mean that you don't treat me as a friend." Qin Wentian intentionally spoke, causing Mu Rou's eyelashes to flutter, adding to her beauty. This fellow seemed to be able to cause people to feel a faint warmth in their hearts.
"What about my birthday? Are you going to give me a present too?" At this moment, a mischievous voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned his head and saw the silhouette of Mo Qingcheng.
The beautiful girl had a faint smile on her face, and it was as if a ray of sunshine had been imprinted in people's hearts.
"What do you want?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"I have to think about it carefully. I can't waste a gift from a 3rd-level Divine Inscriptionist." Mo Qingcheng pretended to be deep in thought, appearing extremely adorable.
The spectators who had yet to disperse were all envious of Qin Wentian. This fellow was truly lucky with women, surrounded by beauties.
Luo Huan, Qin Yao, and Mu Rou were all extremely beautiful. In addition to the number one beauty of Chu, Mo Qingcheng, Qin Wentian's treatment was truly something to be jealous of.
"Don't make things too difficult for me." Qin Wentian shrugged as he stared at the expression on Mo Qingcheng's face.
"Don't worry, just remember this." Mo Qingcheng laughed. "Work hard tomorrow, I'm very optimistic about your performance."
After speaking, Mo Qingcheng smiled and departed. Mu Rou, who was at the side, stared at her departing back as a strange feeling surfaced in her heart. Being together with Mo Qingcheng, even if she had a pretty face, she would still be overshadowed by Mo Qingcheng.
In the spectator stands, Autumn Snow gazed at the young man in the distance, her countenance extremely complicated.
The young man who was once engaged to her was despised and abandoned by her. Now, there seemed to be no lack of beauties who were more outstanding than her by his side. Based on his talent and strength, the distance between them would only grow further and further in the future.
That night outside the Bai Residence, the resolute voice of the young man was still the same. Those casual words of his, were gradually becoming reality.
"Autumn Snow, let's go." Bai Qingsong, who was at the side, spoke. Autumn Snow nodded her head lightly as she left together with her father.
Many of the spectators dispersed, preparing to find a place to rest for the night. However, there were still many who didn't leave, intending to stay the night and wait for the commencement of the Jun Lin Banquet the next day.
"Boss, do you want to go shopping together?" Fan Le narrowed his eyes as he stared at Qin Wentian. "Heaven's Wonder has set a payout rate of 1: 400. Why don't you go and bet a few Yuan Meteor Stones? Although the chances are slim, what if your luck is really heaven-defying?"
"Such a high payout rate?" Qin Wentian was startled. From the start, Heaven's Wonder simply didn't think highly of him. However, it was understandable. With Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue and the other experts present, it would be extremely difficult for him to kill his way to the top of the Jun Lin Banquet. Today, standing on the stage of the Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to become the top ranker.
"They are looking down on you." Fatty shrugged his shoulders, as though he was intentionally trying to provoke Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stared at Fan Le as he stated, "Go and play by yourself, I'm preparing to consolidate my cultivation."
After which, Qin Wentian bade farewell to the surrounding spectators before riding on Little Rascal's back and departing the area, akin to a white whirlwind.
Royal Capital, Bamboo Lodge.
At this moment, a white-haired silhouette was currently sitting by the riverbank, angling for fish. The sound of the flowing water caused people to feel a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
"Why are you so free to come here?" The old man asked in a low voice. He already knew that Qin Wentian had arrived behind him.
"The Jun Lin Banquet has just ended, so I came here to see if Senior is doing well." Qin Wentian sat down beside Gong Hong. It had already been a long time since Gong Hong's hair had turned white overnight. Qin Wentian was still somewhat worried. After all, Gong Hong's condition that day was extremely poor.
"You are truly considerate." A smile appeared in Gong Hong's cloudy eyes. Compared to the time when Qin Wentian met him in the Royal Academy, the current him looked much older.
"The Jun Lin Banquet is the grandest event in Chu. You should focus on your cultivation. If you can obtain the top 9 rankings, you would be able to obtain rewards. And if you can obtain the first position, you would be able to step into the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion." Gong Hong calmly replied. Although it had been a long time since he paid attention to such matters, he had grown up in the Royal Capital of Chu during his youth. Naturally, he knew many things.
"For a night's time, I can cultivate here at Senior's place." Qin Wentian smiled. "Previously, Senior warned me that if there's a girl I like, I must not miss her. I'm thinking that Senior must have some regrets in the past. Since you have regrets, why don't you try to make up for it?"
"Make up for it? How can I make up for it?" Gong Hong shook his head.
"Without trying, how would Senior know? Even if I can't make up for it, why don't I try? This doesn't seem to match Senior's warning. Didn't Senior tell me not to miss out on the opportunity to make up for it? "Qin Wentian smiled as he spoke.
Gong Hong slowly turned his gaze over. Staring at the radiant smile on the young man's face, his heart involuntarily trembled.
Once upon a time, he was also like Qin Wentian, a graceful youth. But now, he was no different from a dead man.
Time was truly the cruelest existence in the world.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, as a radiant smile appeared on his face. He spoke to Gong Hong, "I'm sure Senior must be thinking that if he could return to the time when he was young, he wouldn't have wasted his life. But in reality, for cultivators, as long as one's cultivation base is strong enough, they would be able to return to their youth. Given Senior's current age, you can't be considered old at all. If you are lamenting about the time you missed out on, would you be lamenting about the time you missed out on today?"
As Qin Wentian spoke, he stared at the towering mountain peak in front of him as he continued in a low voice, "How many people regret the time they lost? But how many people truly want to change? If they want to change, why not seize the present? The past has already passed, the future is too far away.
Only focus on the present. "" The past has passed, the future is too far away. Only focus on the present. "
Qin Wentian's words caused huge waves to surge in Gong Hong's heart. How could a young man say such words?
There was a moment of silence, and only the sound of flowing water could be heard. It was exceptionally peaceful.
"Ultimately, I'm still inferior to a young man." Gong Hong sighed, as he stood up and slowly walked towards the direction of his hut. It was as though an intense struggle was taking place in his heart.
What he missed out on, could he still make up for it today?
Qin Wentian didn't follow him. The knot in Gong Hong's heart still needed to be unraveled by himself. He only felt that Gong Hong's powerful cultivation base was something that countless people would be envious of. Why couldn't he cherish what he had now, and do what he wanted to do to make up for his regrets? Even if he failed, he had tried his best.
Retrieving a few Yuan Meteor Stones from his interspatial ring, Qin Wentian closed his eyes as he sat there and began his cultivation, instantly entering the dreamscape.
Astral light revolved around his body, and as the night grew darker, the stars in the night sky were as bright as ever. Rays of light cascaded down onto the body of the young man, flowing through the river. Far away, on the roof of the hut, Gong Hong sat there, basking in the starlight as he stared at the young man by the river. A quiet smile could be seen on his face.
This young man was even more outstanding compared to him in the past. How could he not like such a young man?
"I'll leave after the Jun Lin Banquet. Let's see if you are able to dominate the world today." Gong Hong smiled as he spoke. It was as though a ray of light shone in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to have let go of his burdens, and his entire person felt relaxed!
