Qin Wentian followed Immortal Drunken Wine to a small inn. Back then, when he was chased by Luo Qianqiu, he encountered the Blackwind Condor. When he exited the Dark Forest, he passed by this inn and saw Immortal Drunken Wine and a young man with an extraordinary demeanor. Now, the person Immortal Drunken Wine brought him to meet was none other than the young man from before.
"After our last parting, the young man from before has already shaken the entire Chu Country. The affairs of the world are truly wondrous." The young man smiled as he saw Qin Wentian walking over.
Qin Wentian had already felt that this young man was extraordinary. However, Immortal Drunken Wine said that although this young man was righteous, he couldn't cultivate.
"Living in the Royal Capital, yet unable to live in peace, how can one's name shake the entire Chu Country?" Qin Wentian sat down and laughed. If it wasn't for the fact that he had some good fortune and Qing 'er's protection, he would have to be extremely careful even when walking on the streets, let alone chatting and drinking wine here.
The young man stared at Qin Wentian as he sighed in his heart. Such a young man actually became the mortal enemy of the Royal Clan. Maybe, when Chu Tianjiao wanted to make a move against the Qin Clan, he never imagined that a young man from the Qin Clan would be able to change the entire Chu Country.
Now, the power behind Qin Wentian couldn't be underestimated, not to mention the fact that he would continue to grow in the future.
"Back then, you asked me who I was. I replied that we met because of wine, and if we met again, we would be friends. Now, I tell you that I'm Chu Wuwei, the elder brother of Chu Tianjiao, from the Royal Clan. What do you think?" Chu Wuwei sipped on his wine, smiling as he looked at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. The affairs of the world were indeed wondrous. Although he had a favorable impression of Chu Wuwei, he was still the Crown Prince of Chu.
Seeing that Qin Wentian was silent, Chu Wuwei laughed, "Could it be that because of my identity, you don't want to be friends with me?"
"The Royal Clan of Chu wants my life, wanting to annihilate the Qin Clan, destroying the Emperor Star Academy, and killing my teacher and fellow apprentices." Qin Wentian stared at Chu Wuwei. Although his voice was calm, the meaning behind his words was clear. Since the Royal Clan of Chu treated him like this, the ending was already set in stone. One of them would be destroyed.
"Chu Mang." Chu Wuwei called out. After which, Qin Wentian saw a silhouette walking in from outside the inn. This person had a tall stature, and exuded a powerful aura. His eyes were very large, and when he stared at Qin Wentian, he actually caused Qin Wentian to feel a strong sense of pressure.
"Chu Mang of the Royal Clan of Chu, the second brother of Chu Tianjiao." Chu Wuwei stared at Qin Wentian. "He also has another identity, the number one prodigy of Chu."
"I've heard of it for a long time." Qin Wentian laughed. He had been in Chu for over a year, how could he not have heard of the name of the top ten prodigies?
"Me and second brother have always been against father and Chu Tianjiao's plans. Not only that, my younger sisters have never participated in these disputes. Although Chu Tianjiao wields the most authority in the Chu Country, he cannot represent the Royal Clan." Chu Wuwei seriously stated.
"And then?" From the meaning of Chu Wuwei's words, it seemed that he wanted to draw a line between Chu Tianjiao and the Royal Clan. He wanted to eliminate the enmity between Qin Wentian and the Royal Clan.
However, Chu Tianjiao was the Emperor of Chu. From a certain perspective, he represented the Royal Clan of Chu.
"Before my father died, he wanted me to promise to protect the bloodline of the Royal Clan, and at the same time, to help third brother. I agreed to the former, but not the latter." Chu Wuwei continued, "I won't ask you to release my younger sister immediately. I can say that she is innocent, but your teacher and senior sister are innocent as well. Hence, you have your own standpoint. I only hope that you won't harm her. Just treat it as me, her elder brother, pleading for mercy on her behalf."
After which, Chu Wuwei raised his wine cup to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian hesitated for a moment, before he too, raised his cup and drained it.
"Many thanks." Chu Wuwei smiled. "I can guarantee you that I will absolutely not use my strength to help Chu Tianjiao. In truth, I didn't wish for war to break out in Chu. Wouldn't it be a better life for the various transcendent powers and academies to coexist in harmony? Sadly, things don't go according to one's wishes."
After which, Chu Wuwei helplessly shook his head as he drank another cup of wine.
"Since you have ambitions in your heart, why don't you fight for them?" Immortal Drunken Wine spoke to Qin Wentian, his words causing a look of bewilderment to appear on Qin Wentian's face. The word 'fight for them', when used on Chu Wuwei, meant that he wanted to seize power.
"That kind of life is also extremely tiring." Chu Wuwei sighed. Maybe outsiders wouldn't be able to imagine, but as the Crown Prince of the Royal Clan, he couldn't cultivate. How many things had he faced since he was young, and how much he had sacrificed in order to protect himself?
"Qin Wentian, I hope that we can become friends. If there's an opportunity, I will look for you again." Chu Wuwei smiled at Qin Wentian, before standing up and departing together with Chu Mang.
Qin Wentian pondered over Chu Wuwei's words. What did he mean by 'opportunity'?
Immortal Drunken Wine patted Qin Wentian on his shoulder as he laughed, "You and I can be considered friends. I can use my character to guarantee that Chu Wuwei is absolutely trustworthy. If it weren't for his special traits, he would have long since been unable to survive in the Royal Clan."
"Let's drink a cup." Qin Wentian didn't continue on this topic. He raised his cup to Immortal Drunken Wine with a smile.
…
Just like Immortal Drunken Wine's joke, the moment Qin Wentian stepped foot into the Mo Clan, the news of him entering the Mo Clan spread like wildfire. Currently, there were too many pairs of eyes in the Royal Capital staring at him. Qin Wentian's every action was the focus of attention.
The reason why Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting came here was because of the rumor of the Demonic Astral in the Dark Forest. However, that place was currently occupied by a bunch of old fellows, and juniors like them could only stand to the side. This made Ouyang Kuangsheng extremely depressed, and thus, he decided to come to the Royal Capital of Chu, which was located right next to the Dark Forest.
In Chu, Ouyang Kuangsheng only knew of Qin Wentian. Not only that, Qin Wentian seemed to be extremely famous in the Royal Capital. After Ouyang Kuangsheng inquired about it, he was immediately informed that Qin Wentian had gone to the Mo Residence located in the western region of the Royal Capital.
However, after thinking about it, Ouyang Kuangsheng felt that it was normal. Based on the strength Qin Wentian had displayed, how could he not be famous in a small country like Chu? Even if he went to the Grand Xia Empire, it would only take five to ten years for him to rise to fame.
Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting led a group of people as they arrived at the Mo Residence. Upon seeing the group of experts descending from the skies, the people of the Mo Residence were instantly alarmed. Especially when they noticed the extraordinary auras of these people, they didn't seem to be from Chu at all.
When Mo Qingcheng arrived with the members of the Mo Clan, she couldn't help but feel astonished when she saw Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting. Ouyang Kuangsheng also noticed her, but only after a short moment did he recognize her.
"Haha, Mo Qingcheng, so the Mo Residence is actually your clan. No wonder he's here." Ouyang Kuangsheng immediately guessed that this was Mo Qingcheng's clan the moment he saw her. He couldn't help but to laugh heartily. He had met Mo Qingcheng before the Celestial Lake Refinement Grounds, but at that time, Mo Qingcheng was also dressed in male clothing.
And now, Mo Qingcheng had changed back to her original appearance, causing Ouyang Kuangsheng's eyes to light up. Seems like that fellow really had good judgement. Not bad, she was indeed worthy of Qin Wentian.
If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Mo Residence knew of Ouyang Kuangsheng's thoughts, they would probably be angered to death. When he saw Mo Qingcheng's beauty, the first thing he thought of was that she was worthy of Qin Wentian … Naturally, this didn't mean that Ouyang Kuangsheng was disrespectful towards Mo Qingcheng. It was just that his personality was like this, and he treated Qin Wentian as a friend.
Mo Qingcheng naturally knew that Ouyang Kuangsheng was referring to Qin Wentian. She couldn't help but smile, "He left not long ago, come in and take a seat."
"Oh, I see." Ouyang Kuangsheng was somewhat depressed.
At this moment, old man Mo also walked over. When he heard that there were people arriving at the Mo Residence, he didn't pay too much attention to them. But after he received a report that these people were extraordinary, he personally came to take a look.
Upon seeing Ouyang Kuangsheng, Jiang Ting and the rest, old man Mo couldn't help but be startled in his heart. These people all exuded an extraordinary aura.
A person's temperament was nurtured by the environment they were in. This group of people stood there quietly, yet they gave off a sense of steadiness. Although the two young men in the lead were young in age, it was obvious that they were the young master and mistress of the Mo Clan. Both of them exuded the aura of descendants of major clans. Old man Mo instantly deduced that these people were from the major powers of the Grand Xia.
"People from the Ouyang and Jiang Clan? Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting?" Hua Xiaoyun's gaze landed on Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting.
The Grand Xia Empire was boundlessly vast, and the influence of the younger generation was limited. Everyone might have heard of some names, but none of them knew who they were.
"Who are you?" Ouyang Kuangsheng stared at Hua Xiaoyun as he asked.
"Hua Clan, Hua Xiaoyun." Hua Xiaoyun faintly replied. The Hua Clan was similar to the Ouyang Clan, they were also one of the transcendent powers of the Nine Continents.
"So it's you, the spoiled brat." Ouyang Kuangsheng laughed, causing Hua Xiaoyun to furrow his brows.
"I heard that your elder brother is here as well, where is he?" Ouyang Kuangsheng asked Hua Xiaoyun. He didn't expect to meet someone from the Hua Clan here.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Do you want to be on the same level as my elder brother?" Hua Xiaoyun's eyes flashed with a cold arrogance. Hua Xiaoyun's elder brother had always been his pride, and was also the pride of the entire Hua Clan.
"I'll slowly try to catch up to him. He's my idol after all. But of course, this is only temporary." Ouyang Kuangsheng's eyes flashed with arrogance. He had no choice but to admit that the young man from the Hua Clan was indeed a character at the peak of the Grand Xia Empire.
"In your dreams," Hua Xiaoyun snorted in disdain.
"What the hell are you so arrogant for? I'll only need a few more years to surpass you." Ouyang Kuangsheng unhappily stated, his words causing Hua Xiaoyun's countenance to sink as he felt that he had lost all face.
Old man Mo, who was standing beside Hua Xiaoyun, didn't say anything. He only listened quietly. He and Hua Xiaoyun were acquainted by chance, and when he saw how extraordinary Hua Xiaoyun's words were, and how he had already comprehended the Mandate of Mandate at such a young age, he decided to befriend Hua Xiaoyun. Now, it seemed that Hua Xiaoyun had an elder brother who was even more terrifying than Hua Xiaoyun.
As for the group of people in front of them, they were also from the aristocratic clans. And from Ouyang Kuangsheng's tone, it seemed that they were even more outstanding than Hua Xiaoyun.
This caused Old man Mo to be extremely bewildered. That lass Qingcheng, when did she become acquainted with such characters?
As expected of his granddaughter, her talent and countenance were incomparably outstanding. As long as she left the Chu Country, her future prospects would definitely surpass his!
