Pei Tianyuan pointed to a spot not far away from him, indicating to Cheron and Pei Yu. However, there were only two people there.
However, Cheron's group had four people. Even if Pei Yu's serving girl was removed, Cheron, Pei Yu, and Qin Wentian were still three people.
Cheron glanced at them, then shook his head, "Let's find another place to sit."
"Yes, over there." Pei Yu pointed in a direction. The seat in the middle didn't seem to match Cheron's status. Hence, Pei Tianyuan replied, "How can this do? I still wish to have a good chat with noble nephew Cheron. Since there's not enough space, Pei Xiao, please step aside."
Pei Xiao was sitting right next to those two seats. It seemed like Pei Tianyuan had intentionally chosen those two seats for Cheron. With a single glance, he could tell that the reason Cheron wasn't sitting was because there was an extra person, so he had Pei Xiao give up his seat.
Pei Xiao's brows twitched as he glanced at Pei Yu and Qin Wentian. A trace of displeasure flashed in the depths of his eyes, but since it was an order from the Jiangling King, how could he disobey? He could only nod his head and stand up, feeling somewhat awkward. At this moment, someone called out, "Pei Xiao, come sit here."
Pei Xiao glanced at the person who spoke as a smile flickered in his eyes. "Many thanks for Brother Jiang Yan's kindness."
"Haha, that's for the best. Dear nephew Cheron, come and have a seat." Pei Tianyuan laughed. Cheron naturally wouldn't reject and hence, the three of them walked over and sat down.
Their opponents were none other than Jiang Yan and Pei Xiao, as well as Nion of the Nine Sword Sect. Other than these people, there were also many geniuses from the major powers, all of them exuding an extraordinary aura. Many of them were disciples from the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture.
"Let me introduce us old fellows. I'm Pei Tianyuan, I'm sure all of you already know me. The one beside me is Ji Kong, a disciple of the Cloud Tower Sage Sect, the Cloud Tower Lord of the Jiangling Country. I'm sure all of you have heard of him before. The one on my right is the City Lord of the Driftsnow City, Sikong Yangxue." Pei Tianyuan smiled at the crowd and said, "As for the outstanding talents here, I believe you all know each other, so I won't introduce you all."
Qin Wentian glanced at Sikong Yangxue. The current City Lord of the Driftsnow City, when compared to the legendary Driftsnow Master, Sikong Yangxue was far inferior.
"This Driftsnow City is an ancient place, there's also an ancient legend about the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade. It's rumored that back then, the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade fell in love in this place. If one could turn back time and see the scene of the Driftsnow Master playing the zither and Immortal Jade dancing in the snow, that would truly be the most beautiful thing in life." Pei Tianyuan was extremely talkative. As the Jiangling King of the Jiangling Country, he had also heard of this legend before.
"I've also heard of the story of the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade. However, I still doubt the veracity of the story. Where is the city the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade created? In addition, we only pursue the martial path for the sake of transcendence, pursuing the supreme realm. It's the same for weaponsmithing. Living is the foundation of everything. Immortal Jade gave up her life for the sake of weaponsmithing, it's already hard to understand how deep her obsession is. As for the Driftsnow Master, would he really give up his life for the sake of a woman and protect Immortal Jade's withered body? "
A person spoke. Pei Tianyuan's gaze turned to the person who spoke. This person had a fair and handsome countenance and was dressed casually. His brows were like swords, slanting to the side and his eyes were filled with wisdom and wisdom. Through his deep gaze, one could see many secrets hidden in his mind.
This person was none other than a disciple of the Myriad Sage Academy of the Cloud Prefecture, Shu Luyao.
"The Myriad Sage Academy is as expected of the sacred ground of the Cloud Prefecture, there's nothing they don't know about. Right now, the legend of the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade isn't known by many. Even in our Jiangling Country, there aren't many who know about it. I only learned about it after reading through many ancient records. To think that virtuous nephew Shu would also know about this story, I'm truly impressed." Pei Tianyuan nodded to Shu Luyao with a smile, he didn't express any opinion on Shu Luyao's words.
"Knowing the details makes me even more suspicious. Most probably, this rumor is just to deceive those ignorant fools. In this legend, the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade are nothing but fools." Shu Luyao's tone grew sharper, he had no respect for the legend at all.
Naturally, the legend was after all, something that was too far away. Nobody would say anything because of Shu Luyao's arrogant words. Even Pei Tianyuan only smiled.
Only Pei Yu had a frown on her face as she spoke unhappily, "The personalities of everyone in the world are all different. You are an emotionless person, how can you say that the sentiments of others are fools? I've always heard that the Myriad Sage Academy is a sacred ground of the Cloud Prefecture, giving birth to many experts whose names shook the entire Cloud Prefecture. I always thought that people from the Myriad Sage Academy would have the breadth of the world in their hearts, able to accept all the rumors in the world. However, you actually said that the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade are fools? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? "
Pei Yu was a sentimental person, she had always believed in the story between the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade. If Shu Luyao only had doubts, she wouldn't be angry. But the latter part of Shu Luyao's words was a direct insult to the legend. She couldn't help but feel anger in her heart, hence, her words were extremely sharp.
Shu Luyao's sword-like brows twitched when he heard this. His gaze grew even sharper, as though sharp swords were about to shoot out from his eyes.
"You said that I'm thinking too highly of myself?" Shu Luyao's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at Pei Yu.
"Could it be that she's wrong? Using your own personality to judge others? Could it be that you think everyone in the world is the same as you? Isn't this thinking too highly of yourself?" Upon seeing this scene, Cheron who was beside Pei Yu coldly spoke. A moment later, Shu Luyao's gaze turned over, landing on Cheron as he coldly laughed, "Seems like your relationship isn't bad."
After speaking, he didn't say anything more. However, that mocking gaze of his seemed to contain a different meaning, causing Pei Yu to be even more enraged. However, Cheron calmly replied, "The major powers in the world are all the same. I heard that there are many outstanding characters from the Myriad Sage Academy, but it's hard to say that there wouldn't be scum among them."
"Cheron, your words are too overboard. Brother Shu has never offended you before, right? Aren't you going too far by humiliating him in public?" At this moment, Jiang Yan interjected. "Brother Shu is a heaven chosen of the Myriad Sage Academy. The word 'scum' in your mouth is simply too arrogant."
As the sound of his voice faded, expressions of interest appeared on the faces of many. Seems like this Jiang Yan didn't want the world to be in chaos and intentionally wanted to intensify the conflict between Cheron and Shu Luyao.
"I've always admired the Myriad Sage Academy. Cheron, you are truly too much." Nion continued, adding oil to the fire. And as expected, the moment their words rang out, it was impossible for Shu Luyao to ignore it even if he wanted to. At this moment, the gazes of everyone were all on him.
"Cheron's arrogance isn't just for a moment right? When the Nine Immortality Bells were rung, this fellow already lost his composure and started to provoke others everywhere. Hahaha." Another person laughed. This person was also a disciple from a major power, the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor of the Cloud Prefecture. The combat prowess of this power was extremely high and their influence could be found all over the Cloud Prefecture. Even in the Jiangling Country, they had a subordinate power named the War Immortal Palace.
"Zurius from the Battle Heavens Immortal Manor, seems like he's also someone who likes to stir up trouble." Everyone silently mused. Zurius didn't have any intentions of intentionally provoking Cheron. He only spoke because he felt that it was interesting.
Shu Luyao had a heavy expression on his face. In front of so many people, he truly couldn't maintain his face.
"Scum? At the very least, I won't play around with women in the Jiangling Country. She is someone from the Jiangling King Manor, I will naturally give face to the Jiangling King Manor and not bicker with her. Why are you in such a hurry to speak? What are you trying to say? " Shu Luyao coldly laughed. His gaze was fixed on Cheron and Pei Yu as his tone was filled with evilness.
Pei Tianyuan quietly watched. Even though Pei Yu was implicated, he didn't even interrupt. Pei Yu's talent in the Jiangling King Manor was ordinary and her status was ordinary as well. Right now, she became the spark of conflict between two geniuses. Although Shu Luyao's words wrongly accused her, if Cheron couldn't forget about this matter and really got together with Pei Yu, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"Calling you scum is already praising you too much." Cheron mocked. "Me, Brother Tianwen and Pei Yu have only known each other for a short period of time. Our temperaments are similar and we became good friends. But when it came out of your mouth, the meaning of my words changed completely. How rude of you."
"The three of you together? What a heavy taste." Nion coldly spoke when she heard that. After that, the gazes of everyone landed on her as faint smiles appeared in their eyes. How interesting, this Nion might seem cold and arrogant but her words were filled with evil. Naturally, the reason why Nion would be like this was because of Cheron's domineering attitude earlier. Evidently, she hadn't swallowed her anger yet.
Pei Yu's body trembled slightly, her dainty fists were clenched tightly as her countenance turned pale. For a female to be humiliated like this, it was already extremely serious. Especially in such a setting. Nion's words were like sharp arrows, piercing into the hearts of others.
Qin Wentian's sharp senses could see the changes in Pei Yu's countenance as well as the trembling of her body. He also felt some anger in his heart. These people actually dared to humiliate a young lady in the prime of her youth?
Inclining his head, his gaze turned to Nion. This cold and arrogant young lady from the Seven Sword Sect had expelled him earlier. Evidently, she was a selfish woman who didn't care about others.
"Someone who can speak such shameless words is actually a female? This is simply unimaginable. Could it be that you have done such a thing before? If not, why would you say such words?" Qin Wentian stared at Nion as he emotionlessly spoke.
As the sound of his voice faded, Nion's countenance instantly turned cold. Her sword-like eyes stared in the direction of Qin Wentian as she icily spoke, "Impudent, who do you think you are? You even dare to speak in such a manner. Do you believe that I won't kill you right here and now?"
The gazes of several people landed on Qin Wentian. Jiang Yan also coldly spoke, "Who is this fellow? Where did he come from? Do you have the qualifications to speak here?"
"How interesting. Most probably because he is sitting together with Cheron, he doesn't even know who he is." Shu Luyao glanced at the people around him as he asked, "Do any of you know this person?"
Everyone shook their heads as mocking gazes appeared on their faces. Cheron had a high status but this person was different. He actually dared to insult Nion in such a setting. Those people still had some trepidation when they wanted to make things difficult for Cheron. But now that they caught hold of Qin Wentian, how could they not ruthlessly attack him? Such methods were extremely common!
