For people like Pei Yanjun, Su Xin couldn't be bothered to feign civility with him. He just sneered and turned to leave.
A martial artist who came with Pei Yanjun said in disdain, "As expected of someone from a small place like Xiangnan. He doesn't know any manners. Brother Pei, you invited him time and time again, but he rejected all of them."
Pei Yanjun's face was a little gloomy. He could tolerate it, but Su Xin had humiliated him time and time again. Even he couldn't take it anymore.
Just when they were causing such a big commotion, a few miles away, on a luxurious flower boat, a young man was holding a pair of exquisitely designed binoculars in his hands, watching everything that had just happened.
The young man was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance. He always had a faint smile on his face, and it was more appropriate to say that he was conceited.
"Tsk, this monocular from the west region is quite interesting. It can see so clearly from a few miles away. It's comparable to the Buddhist Sect's secret technique, the Celestial Eye. If this item can be mass produced, we will be able to predict the enemy's movements and get twice the results with half the effort."
A pretty maid behind him giggled and said, "Young Master, you're being too whimsical. This monocular was made by a grandmaster craftsman in the Western Regions after several years. During this time, just the gemstones that were worn out were dozens of kilograms. How could it be mass-produced and used in the army?"
The young man shook his head with a smile. "Why can't it be mass produced? Jin 'er, you have to know that the most important thing for a martial artist is imagination. Nothing in this world is impossible. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the flourishing martial arts today. "
The maid, Jin 'er, stuck out her tongue behind the young man. She knew that she couldn't win an argument with her young master. It should be said that there weren't many people in the world who could win an argument with her young master.
This was because her young master was called Zhuge Qingtian. He was ranked tenth on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
When others were on the Ranking List of Young Masters, the first thing that came to their minds was their strength. However, Zhuge Qingtian was different. Anyone who mentioned him would think of his demon-like intelligence.
Zhuge Qingtian was born in the Langya Zhuge Clan, one of the six major clans. The Zhuge Clan had a close relationship with the dynasty of the Zhou Kingdom. It should be said that the Zhuge Clan had a close relationship with all the dynasties in the central plains.
The shadow of the Zhuge Family could be seen in all of these places, from the Prime Minister to the Prefectural Officials.
It could be said that the Zhuge Family was the only martial arts force that had not relied on martial arts to become one of the six great families.
Regardless of whether it was governing the country or scheming, there was no one from the Zhuge Clan who was bad at scheming. As the youngest disciple of the Zhuge Clan in this generation, Zhuge Qingtian had displayed this to the extreme.
Ten years ago, when he had just turned twenty, he went to the Xiliang Path to quell the rebellion as a counselor under the command of the former Xiliang Path Army Chief. With his sharp tongue, he provoked the foreign tribes of Xiliang to kill each other. Corpses were strewn everywhere.
In the end, he even set up a killing trap, killing hundreds of thousands of Western Liang's people in one battle, causing the Western Liang's people, who originally wanted to follow the Golden Horde Kingdom to attack the Central Plains, to become completely obedient.
From then on, Zhuge Qingtian was given the nickname of 'Wisdom That Shocks Immortals'.
People only knew that Zhuge Qingtian had the cultivation of the Innate Divinity Realm, but he had never fought with anyone face to face ever since he started his cultivation. Yet, he was ranked tenth on the Ranking List of Young Masters. No one in the entire Pugilistic World had any doubts about this.
Holding the Monocular, Zhuge Qingtian looked at the movements from Su Xin and the others. He mumbled, "The Blood Sword Divine Finger Su Xin, who is ranked twenty-second on the Ranking List of Young Masters, has many secrets. I don't believe that he could have risen from a penniless individual cultivator to twenty-second on the Ranking List of Young Masters in less than two years.
There is only one 'Blue-eyed Flying Dragon' Di Jingfei. I reckon that there won't be a second one in the Pugilistic World within a hundred years.
However, you are really unlucky to be invited by the Jiangnan Club this year. This year's Jiangnan Club won't be peaceful.
Most of the top twenty on the Ranking List of Young Masters have heard some rumors. The number one 'Tao Addict' Lin Changhe has gone into seclusion again. The number two 'Young Master Sword' He Xiu is still comprehending the sword will in the Sword Hut. The number four 'Fire Demon God' Yan Naluo doesn't have an excuse. However, neither the Xiao Clan nor the imperial court will send him an invitation. "
The maidservant Jin 'er asked curiously, "Then why did you come? Didn't you say that the Third Young Master of White Sovereign City invited you to appreciate a newly unearthed ancient swordsmanship manual? You actually pushed him to participate in the Jiangnan Club."
Zhuge Qingtian shook his head. "People in the Pugilistic World have no choice. If someone wants to scheme against you, you won't be able to avoid it."
Jin 'er shook her head. In her heart, Zhuge Qingtian was the smartest person in the world. Who could scheme against him?
Zhuge Qingtian smiled and started to study the Monocular in his hand again.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Su Xin randomly found a restaurant to have dinner in and stayed there.
There was still one and a half months until the Jiangnan Club started. Su Xin had plenty of time to tour around the Jiangnan Manor.
The next morning, Su Xin got up and headed to the Skywind Pavilion in the Jiangnan Manor.
Just like the Flourishing Dragon Pavilion was the largest restaurant in the Changning Manor, the Skywind Pavilion was also the largest restaurant in the Jiangnan Manor and even the entire Jiangnan Road.
Furthermore, the people that the Skywind Pavilion served weren't ordinary people. They were all martial artists.
The Skywind Pavilion had a total of nine floors. The first three floors required Postnatal Realm cultivation to enter, while the middle three floors required Innate Realm cultivation to enter.
As for the last three floors, they weren't open to outsiders at all. They were private rooms for martial artists on the Ranking List of Young Masters and famous martial artists in the Pugilistic World to use. Everyone had their own private room.
Su Xin was ranked 22nd on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Actually, he was also qualified to have his own private room on the last three floors. However, Su Xin found it troublesome. He didn't want to deal with the boss of the Skywind Pavilion, so he casually found a seat on the fourth floor and sat down.
As soon as Su Xin sat down, he immediately attracted the attention of many martial artists.
Although Su Xin was ranked 22nd on the Ranking List of Young Masters, this was the first time that he appeared in the Central Plains.
Moreover, Su Xin's first appearance was amazing. He had beaten Li Chenfeng, the Tanhua, who was ranked 23rd on the Ranking List of Young Masters, into a drowning dog, which made him lose face.
In the Skywind Pavilion, an enlarged version of the Ranking List of Young Masters was hung on the wall.
When Su Xin was in Xiangnan, he had only seen the Ranking List of Young Masters once in Shangshan City. After that, he only heard about it from others. After more than a year, even the top ten of the Ranking List of Young Masters had changed several times.
The current Ranking List of Young Masters was:
'Tao Addict' Lin Changhe of the Taiyidaomen Sect, one of the four sects of Taoism, ranked first.
'Young Master Sword' He Xiu of the Mingjian Villa, one of the five sword sects, ranked second.
'Marquis Xiao Huang of the Xiao Family of Jiangnan, one of the six aristocratic families, ranked third.
'Fire Devil God' Yan Naruo of the 36 countries of Western Region, ranked fourth.
'Immortal Chi Song' Feng Linzi of the Good Fortune Sect, one of the four sects of Taoism, ranked fifth.
'Great Overarching Heavenly Blade' Chen Jing of the Luotian Sect, ranked sixth.
'Thousand-faced Demoness' Yin Xixue of the Magic Road Sect, one of the Nine Hells, ranked seventh.
'Seven Evils Spear' Yan Dongchen of the Eastern Jin Imperial Court, ranked eighth.
'Jade Breaking Hand' Yue Qingping of the Rogue Cultivator, ranked ninth.
'Wisdom' Zhuge Qingtian of the Zhuge Family of Langya, one of the six aristocratic families, ranked tenth.
'Nine Tribulations Yue Girl' Xie Zhiyan of the Fighting Sword Sect, ranked eleventh.
'Unparalleled Sword' Lin Xiao of the Sword God Mountain, one of the five sword sects, ranked twelfth.
'Crimson Moon Human Devil' Zuo Feng of the Sky Demon Temple, one of the Nine Hells, ranked thirteenth.
'Bodhi Monk' Ming Hui of the Shaolin Temple, one of the three temples of Buddhism, ranked fourteenth.
'Thousand Hands Yama' Tang Sen of the Tang Sect of Sichuan, one of the eight heretical sects, ranked fifteenth.
'Tempered Sword' Huang Xi of the Sword Pavilion of Bashu, one of the five sword sects, ranked sixteenth.
'Righteous Sword' Wang Shifeng of the Wang Family of the Xie County, one of the six aristocratic families, ranked seventeenth.
'Sword and Saber Dual Master' Shen Jin of the Rogue Cultivator, ranked eighteenth.
'Five Supreme Swords' Song Sanchi of the Song Family of Eastern Jin, ranked nineteenth.
'Wind and Cloud Hand' Feng Zichong of the Dragon Tiger Sect, one of the four sects, ranked twentieth.
'East Suppression Pavilion' Yu Feng of the Seven Gangs, one of the seven heroes, ranked twenty-first.
'Blood Sword Divine Finger' Su Xin of the Blood Sword Sect, ranked twenty-second.
'Flower Tanker' Li Chenfeng of the Longxi Li Clan, ranked twenty-third.
When Su Xin saw Li Chenfeng's rank, he did not continue to look down. After all, the people below him were all people that he was stepping on, so there was no need to know more.
As for the top twenty of the Ranking List of Young Masters, it made Su Xin sigh at the imbalance of the strength of the younger generation in Jianghu.
Among the young talents of this generation, there were too many people from the six aristocratic families, the five sword sects, and the four sects of Taoism, especially the five sword sects. Except for Qingcheng sword school, the other four actually had people ranked in the top twenty of the Ranking List of Young Masters.
What surprised Su Xin was that Xie Zhiyan's progress was not any slower than his. She had already risen to eleventh on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
However, Shaolin Temple, one of the three Buddhist temples, only had one monk in the Ranking List of Young Masters, and he did not even make it into the top ten. This was a little thought-provoking.
In any case, in Su Xin's view, Shaolin Temple was already showing signs of decline.
Originally, because of the rise of Good Fortune Gate, Shaolin Temple had already been suppressed.
It was not easy for a brave and radical abbot to take the position, but he was kicked out after only a few decades. Shaolin Temple returned to its previous state, causing the temple to have a shortage of disciples. It was normal for the younger generation to be suppressed.
The rules of Shaolin Temple were not something that ordinary people could bear. Also, after entering Shaolin Temple, one must first learn Buddhist scriptures before being qualified to learn martial arts.
Although this method could make the foundation of the direct disciples of Shaolin Temple extremely solid, it would also make the speed of training a disciple several times slower than the speed of training disciples of other sects. In Shaolin Temple, where there were already very few new disciples, this shortcoming was even more obvious.
There were even fewer warriors who were rogue cultivators in the top twenty of the Ranking List of Young Masters. There were only two of them. This showed how difficult it was to advance into the Ranking List of Young Masters without the support of a big force.
