"Come! This way, please! "
Baiwei led Qi Heng and Ning into the Celestial Treasures Pavilion. They walked along a crystalline walkway, then turned into an exquisite building.
Aside from selling all sorts of magic treasures and spirit-objects, the Celestial Treasures Pavilion was also the largest money-squandering establishment in Antan Commandery City.
The Celestial Treasures Pavilion was the best place for noble clans to entertain guests.
"Qi Heng, stop right there!"
Just as Qi Heng and the other two stepped into the building, they suddenly heard an angry roar from behind them.
Turning to look, they saw a young man with a golden crown on his head and an embroidered robe. His face was filled with malice, and he was leading a group of subordinates in an aggressive charge.
"Northmont Fox?"
Baiwei, upon seeing this golden-crowned youth, instantly frowned.
The fathers of Northmont Fox and Baiwei were currently vying for the right to inherit the position of Marquis of Antan. Northmont Fox and Baiwei had long ago become like fire and water.
"Northmont Fox, young master Qi Heng is my guest. I won't tolerate your impudence!"
At a time like this, whether for the sake of drawing Qi Heng to his side or for the sake of his own face, Baiwei had to step forward.
"Northmont Baiwei? So it was you who caused trouble? "
Seeing Qi Heng standing next to Baiwei, Fox was instantly enraged. He pointed at Qi Heng. "I was wondering why you dared to refuse my summons. So it was because you followed Northmont Baiwei? Hmph, do you think he can protect you? "
"I just ran into young master Northmont Baiwei."
Qi Heng glanced sideways at Fox, a hint of coldness appearing on his face. "Hmph. Who do you think you are? You think you are qualified to summon me? "
"Good! Good! You better remember what you said! "
Northmont Fox was so enraged that he began to laugh, a savage look on his face. "Brat, unless you hide in Baiwei's home for the rest of your life … I will definitely kill you!"
"You want to kill me? Then I'll kill you first … eh? "
Qi Heng was just about to attack and kill Fox, when he suddenly sensed an enormous aura emanating from him, as though warning him not to attack.
"The Celestial Treasures Pavilion … forbids fighting?"
This aura was extremely powerful; it was at least at the Void-level Earth Immortal level. Given Qi Heng's current level of power, he wasn't able to fight a Void-level Earth Immortal.
"You don't want me to go out? Hehe, you'd better never go out yourself. Otherwise, we'll see who's going to kill who! "
Qi Heng sneered inwardly and flicked his sleeve, too lazy to pay attention to this fly, Northern Mountain Fox.
"Northern Mountain Fox, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is not your fox nest. It is not a place where you can act as you please."
Northmont Baiwei pointed a finger at Northmont Fox and loudly rebuked, "Sir Qi Heng is my honored guest. I, Northmont Baiwei, haven't fallen so low that I can't even protect my own guest. What methods do you have? This Young Master will accept them! "
"Very good! Just you wait! "
Northmont Fox let out an angry snort, his face filled with savagery. Leading his group of subordinates, he turned and left.
"This humble one is extremely sorry that Young Master Qi Heng was involved in our family's misfortune."
As far as Baiwei was concerned, Northmont Fox was targeting him, and Qi Heng was nothing more than an excuse. What he didn't know was that Qi Heng had already offended Northmont Fox.
"It has nothing to do with young master Baiwei."
Qi Heng laughed as he explained, "Just now, that Northmont Fox sent someone to find me, saying that he wishes to summon me for an audience. Hehe, although I, Qi Heng, come from a small tribe, I'm not the sort of person who can be summoned by just anyone. "
"Sir Qi, your unyielding character is admirable! Please! "
Baiwei's heart shook, but he didn't show it. Smiling, he led Qi Heng and Ning into the pavilion.
Actually, Baiwei was secretly pondering to himself, "This' Old Monster of the Black Mountains', who, like Ning, came from a small tribe near Swallow Mountain. What is it about him that Northmont Fox is interested in?"
During this period of time, Baiwei had been dealing with the spirit-stone mines of the Ji clan. He had just returned to Antan Commandery City with Ning, but he hadn't received any reports from Qi Heng, and so he didn't know much about Qi Heng.
"Brother Qi, Brother Ji, please!"
Within the pavilion, there was a beautiful, elegant banquet hall. At this moment, spirit-fruit and spirit-wine had already been placed within the banquet hall.
Baiwei lifted up his wine goblet, then raised it towards the two. "Today, we were lucky enough to meet a hero like you, Brother Qi. And today, Brother Ji came to Antan Commandery City to join the Sect. This is a double blessing. Let us drink to our hearts' content!"
"Many thanks!"
Qi Heng and Ning simultaneously raised their goblets, then drained them.
"Brother Qi, the reason I came to Antan Commandery City with young master Baiwei is because I wish to join the Sect and solidify my own cultivation foundation. Brother Qi, do you have any plans as well? "
Putting down the wine goblet, Ning asked Qi Heng this question.
"Because of the previous karmic luck, I've gained quite a bit. I plan to spend some time meditating on it. For now, I have no plans to join the Sect. "
Qi Heng laughed as he replied.
Actually, in Qi Heng's heart … he was an exalted Omega Autarch. If he wanted to take on a master, he could only take on someone like Daofather Blackyellow. How could anyone else be qualified? How could anyone be qualified to be his master?
"So that's how it is!"
Ning naturally knew what this' karmic luck 'Qi Heng spoke of was. He had thought that since Qi Heng hadn't completely digested the insights he had gained from Blackyellow's sermons on the Dao, it would make sense if he didn't take on a master.
After all … what master's guidance was more profound than Daofather Blackyellow's sermons on the Dao?
"Brother Ji, you are skilled in sword-arts. If you wish to join a Sect, naturally the Skysplitter Sword Sect is the best choice."
Baiwei smiled as he continued, "I have a bit of a relationship with the Skysplitter Sword Sect. If I greet them, brother Ji, you'll save yourself the trouble of going through the selection process. When the time comes, you can just join them. "
Given Ning's power, joining the Skysplitter Sword Sect naturally wouldn't be a problem. However … Ning, who came from a small tribe, might encounter some shady schemes that would steal his spot.
"Many thanks, young master Baiwei."
Ning was naturally very happy to save himself some trouble.
"Join the Skysplitter Sword Sect? Hahahaha! You must be dreaming! "
Northmont Fox's wild, wild laughter suddenly rang out from the other side of the building. "Northmont Baiwei, as long as I, Northmont Fox, am here, those two punks will never be able to join the Skysplitter Sword Sect."
"Bastard!"
Upon hearing these words, the elegant, graceful Northmont Baiwei was so angry that he threw out the wine goblet in his hands.
"I've made a fool of myself."
Baiwei, having vented his anger, laughed apologetically, then turned to look at Ning. "This matter … I've implicated you, brother Ji! Northmont Fox's relationship with the Skysplitter Sword Sect is even deeper than mine. This matter … ugh! "
"It has nothing to do with you, young master Baiwei! Even if I can't join the Skysplitter Sword Sect, there are quite a few other sects in Antan Commandery City. I don't have to go to the Skysplitter Sword Sect. "
Ning felt a wave of resignation in his heart. This truly was an unexpected calamity.
"I imagine that Northmont Fox is targeting me as well."
Qi Heng smiled apologetically towards Ning. "I've implicated you, brother Ji. However, I do know a bit about the Sect in Antan Commandery City. I feel that the Black-White College is more suitable for you, brother Ji. "
"The Black-White College? Since you say it is suitable, then I'll go to the Black-White College! "
Ning laughed and nodded. He was now somewhat interested in this Black-White College.
"The Black-White College …"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Baiwei shook his head, speechless.
Do you think it is so easy to join the Black-White College?
The Black-White College is very strict in its selection of disciples; it is a selection of geniuses amongst geniuses. Even Baiwei himself isn't qualified to enter the Black-White College.
You speak as though you can enter just because you want to!
