"Erm …" Liu Sheng, who had been so intimidating just a moment ago, was now like a deflated balloon. His aura crumbled in an instant.
"That's a good question!" Liu Sheng lowered his head, trying to hide his awkwardness. Liu Sheng was very handsome to begin with. His pretentious gesture caused a series of soft screams from the girls.
"Too bad there are not many girls here." Liu Sheng sighed to himself. If they were anywhere else, they would have fainted by now.
All the pressure on Feng Su suddenly disappeared. Feng Su heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that her question would achieve such a good result.
All eyes were on Ye Chong.
Who was this person? Whispers of discussion could be heard. Liu Sheng and the others looked uneasy. Ye Chong had been their main target from the moment they met him. However, the sense of danger he gave them was far greater than that of this ethereal female Jie expert in front of them. It was for this reason that they did not take any action against him. Unpredictable danger was the greatest danger.
However, just as they were about to find out more about him, they found out that this young man was related to May's Night Ridge. They immediately stopped what they were about to do. The six of them subconsciously distanced themselves from this mysterious young man at all times, not to mention trying to find out more about him.
As for those who were related to May's Night Ridge, even if they were as strong as they were, they did not want to have any conflict with these people. Besides, the young man was also skilled in combat.
Ye Chong, who was the center of attention, did not feel uneasy. He was no longer the ignorant young man he used to be.
"You can call me Guan Zhufeng." Ye Chong's voice was calm, and his expression was calm.
This was a very unfamiliar name. The six of them looked at each other and confirmed the information in each other's eyes. Feng Su also knew nothing about this name.
Not everyone had the same thoughts as these six people. The passersby just felt strange. Any one of these six people was one of the top experts on Guang Hua Planet. Why were they so afraid of this ordinary-looking young man?
Tackan and the others were well-known, but no one had heard of this young man. Even though Line Shaft City was the capital of alchemy, most people knew about Tackan and the others.
All six of them were experts in the Congregation. In the Guang Hua Planet's combat world, these five Jie experts enjoyed a high reputation. The most popular profession on Guang Hua Planet was Alchemist, and Combat Masters were in a relatively weak position. However, Guang Hua Planet was not without experts. Tackan and the other four were the most famous combat experts on the planet. Over the years, Guang Hua Planet's fights had always been dominated by five people. During every Congregation, out of the ten slots, only these five people were qualified to be the experts of the Congregation. The other five were just there to make up the numbers.
In Line Shaft City, Gutti was the most well-known of the six. The reason was that Gutti was an alchemist. As an alchemist qualified to join the Congregation, Gutti had every right to be respected and envied. Moreover, he was still so young, and his future was limitless.
However, such a group of people were extremely fearful of a seemingly ordinary young man. The scene looked very strange.
"Friend, why don't you join the Congregation with us?" Abeni, who had been covering himself up tightly, suddenly spoke. The rest of them looked at Ye Chong eagerly. They had been searching for combat experts on Guang Hua Planet, hoping to find a partner to accompany them to the Congregation. All these years, Guang Hua Planet's combat world had been supported by the five of them. It had been a long time since a new force joined them.
The five of them sparred together, hoping to achieve a breakthrough. On the other hand, they were also looking for other experts. Gutti was an alchemist they met at the Congregation. They invited Gutti to be their partner. Gutti also hoped to test out his new alchemy reagent on these people, and the two sides hit it off.
They did not expect to meet two Jie experts here! How could they not be overjoyed? However, they could not do anything to Ye Chong. Whether it was his skills, or his relationship with May's Night Ridge, they did not dare to force him. However, they did not have to worry about Feng Su.
The crowd was in an uproar!
Being able to join the Congregation was a great honor. Many people dreamed of joining the Congregation since they were young. Besides, the invitation was made by the previous Congregation expert himself. It was an invitation that no one could refuse! The crowd looked at Ye Chong enviously. They believed that no one in the world would refuse an invitation like this. In the face of such an invitation, anyone who didn't faint from joy was enough to show their self-control.
His plain words stirred up a commotion in the crowd. "I'm sorry, I refuse."
Everyone had a puzzled expression on their faces. Did they hear wrongly? It was only when they saw the same confusion in the crowd that they realized what was going on.
The crowd was like a cup of cold water suddenly poured into boiling oil, exploding violently.
While Abeni's expression could not be seen, he sounded angry. "Friend, won't you think about it before you make your decision?"
Tackan and the others had surrounded the two of them, looking hostile. Although they were wary of May's Night Ridge, their pride as Congregation experts had won them the upper hand at this moment.
Those who could survive in Line Shaft City were no idiots. They knew that a fight could break out at any time. Everyone fell silent and backed away. A fight between Jie experts was no laughing matter. Anyone caught in the crossfire could lose their lives.
The situation was tense. Ye Chong and Feng Su were surrounded by five people. Gutti had already run away. He was only an alchemist.
"What do you think of our offer, young lady?" Liu Sheng asked solemnly.
Feng Su's expression didn't change, but her heart was racing. She thought for a moment and smiled. "I admire Mr. Guan Zhufeng very much. If Mr. Guan Zhufeng agrees, I have no problem with it." She deftly pushed the question back to Ye Chong.
The five people looked at Ye Chong again.
Being stared at by five experts, even someone as strong as Ye Chong felt his scalp tingle. However, he maintained his composure, and his eyes were as calm as ever.
Ye Chong resisted the urge to attack first, and said softly, "I need to go to May's Night Ridge for something."
Silence!
Dead silence! Other than Feng Su and Ye Chong, the crowd looked at the young man in shock. Many of them realized that the young man was from May's Night Ridge!
No wonder he rejected the invitation from the Congregation experts! No wonder he was able to remain calm even when he was surrounded by five Congregation elites! No wonder the five Congregation experts were so wary of him!
Many puzzling and incomprehensible things seemed to suddenly become clear at this moment.
May's Night Ridge!
After the initial shock, many people looked at Ye Chong with respect.
Guan Qingheng was the deputy leader of the procurement team. This was not his first time in this position. In truth, it was not a position of any importance. In the Ridge Squad, anyone with the title of deputy was usually a position of no importance. The ones with real power were the ones in charge.
But what could he do? The Guan family had fallen too far in recent years! He did not care much about himself. What worried him the most was that if the family did not turn around soon, the Guan family would lose its right to stay in May's Night Ridge in a few years' time.
A hint of worry appeared in Guan Qingheng's eyes. Every time he thought of this problem, he could not help but sink into depression.
However, there was nothing he could do. In every Ridge Conference, the Guan family was more like a bystander. They lacked any significant innovations, and their status in the Ridge plummeted. Now, they were ranked last in the Ridge. More importantly, due to the decline in their status, the steward always got the worst share of the items they bought from the Ridge Conference. If not for the Guan family's previous contributions, there would be no place for them in the Ridge now.
The most worrying thing was that in a year's time, the Ridge would review the qualifications of the 14 families in May's Night Ridge. If the Guan family did not improve in this year's time, they would be stripped of their right to stay in the Ridge.
Guan Qingheng thought to himself as he walked.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice that wasn't too loud.
"I need to go to May's Night Ridge."
May's Night Ridge? Guan Qingheng was surprised, and looked up.
May's Night Ridge was a very mysterious place to outsiders. Even in Line Shaft City, other than the upper echelons of the major trading firms who had close ties with May's Night Ridge, no one knew what May's Night Ridge looked like or what kind of place it was. The people in the Ridge rarely came out as well. In the Ridge, everyone would learn alchemy, but the Ridge strictly forbade them from leaving the Ridge. Other than the purchasing department, very few people would leave the Ridge. The people in the Ridge were also forbidden from participating in competitions like the Congregation. Guan Qingheng had not seen a single guest in May's Night Ridge for many years.
May's Night Ridge was too mysterious. People only knew that it was the holy land of alchemy.
Someone was going to the Ridge? Guan Qingheng could not help but be curious, and walked towards the source of the voice.
