Around the arena, there were five groups of people who stood out the most.
These people had arranged a few rows of armchairs, with tea and spirit fruits beside them. There were also maids serving them on the left and right. Behind them stood a group of guards in uniform. They were in high spirits and looked very majestic. They seemed to be enjoying themselves very much.
They were the protagonists of this big show, the Five Great Families of Sky Snow City.
What interested Lin Tian the most was that the people of the Zhang Family were right in front of him.
Among them, the younger generation of the Zhang Family, led by Zhang Ziyi, stood at the front. Zhang Xiong, who was sitting on the armchair, seemed to be explaining something to them.
Beside Zhang Ziyi stood a young man in white with an extraordinary temperament.
He chatted with Zhang Ziyi, but Zhang Ziyi didn't seem to want to talk to him. Her eyes were fixed on the four great clans, and she didn't answer him.
"Ziyi, don't worry. With me here today, Luo Cheng and the others are nothing."
Looking at Zhang Ziyi's appearance, Zhong Qi smiled faintly and looked very confident.
One had to know that he was a genius from the Northern Glass Academy. It was easy for him to deal with a few famous rogue cultivators.
Unfortunately, Zhang Ziyi was looking for something absent-minded. She looked around and even forgot to talk to him. This made the smile on Zhong Qi's face freeze instantly.
"Ziyi, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xiong noticed that Zhong Qi's expression was not right and immediately scolded, "Nephew Zhong is the helper your sister invited. He is the hope of our Zhang Family now. Is this how you treat him?"
Hearing this, Zhong Qi's expression instantly improved.
He was proud, then pretended to be indifferent and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't blame Ziyi. I don't think she did it on purpose. Maybe she just doesn't like to deal with strangers, right, Ziyi?"
As he said that, he gave Zhang Ziyi a very gentle smile.
He seemed to be saying to Zhang Ziyi, "Look, I've helped you out."
Unfortunately, Zhang Ziyi didn't appreciate it at all. She snorted and looked to the side without saying anything. This made the smile on Zhong Qi's face freeze again.
"Miss, this person is so annoying. He's just like Fan Wei." Xiao Cui stood beside Zhang Ziyi and whispered. She thought that Zhong Qi couldn't hear her, but without exception, her words entered Zhong Qi's ears.
This caused Zhong Qi's expression to turn even uglier.
Zhang Xiong also heard her words and couldn't help but turn around and glare at Xiao Cui.
This little girl was getting bolder and bolder.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand her, Zhang Ziyi hurriedly pulled Xiao Cui behind her and spoke to Zhong Qi first, "I'm sorry, servant girls are the most stupid and don't know how to speak. I apologize on her behalf, I hope you don't mind."
"Ha … haha, that's only natural …"
When Zhong Qi heard this, he forced a smile and held back his anger.
However, since Zhang Ziyi had already said so and even apologized to him, what else could he say?
With his status, he couldn't really argue with a servant girl, right?!
Seeing that Zhong Qi had no intention of pursuing the matter, Zhang Xiong was even less likely to make an unnecessary move. He coldly snorted and shot a warning glance at Zhang Ziyi and Xiao Cui. After which, he turned his face and smiled amiably at Zhong Qi, "Nephew Zhong, I will have to trouble you today. If you have any requests, feel free to let me know."
"As long as my Zhang family can satisfy you, I'll try my best to satisfy you."
Zhang Xiong patted his chest and promised.
Hearing this, Zhong Qi glanced at Zhang Ziyi and thought to himself, 'I want your two beautiful daughters. Will you give them to me?'
However, Zhong Qi only dared to think this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Because he knew that it was impossible.
Moreover, even if Zhang Xiong agreed, he would only dare to have ideas about Zhang Ziyi at most.
Because Zhang Zilan was the top of the Inner Court Earth Leaderboard in their Beili Academy and the woman that Ye Qing liked. However, he couldn't even enter the top twenty on the Earth Leaderboard. Even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to have ideas about Zhang Zilan.
Even this time, he came to help because of Ye Qing's order.
Otherwise, if it weren't for Ye Qing's sake, Zhang Ziyi's attitude towards him would have made him explode and leave. Why would he still be here talking to Zhang Xiong?
"Uncle Zhang, you're too polite. Miss Zilan and I are friends. It's normal for friends to help each other. There's no need for any reward."
Zhong Qi declined with a wry smile, "Uncle Zhang, you're making me feel unworthy."
"Hahaha, Nephew Zhong is right. I'm being rude. I'll punish myself with a cup."
Seeing Zhong Qi's attitude, Zhang Xiong was greatly satisfied and couldn't help laughing. He picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. At the same time, he didn't forget to look at Zhang Ziyi as if to say, 'Look, Zhong Qi is so good. As a genius from the Beili Academy, he's not arrogant.
It's fine if he's strong, but he doesn't need any reward for helping the Zhang family.
He's many times better than that Lin Tian you called. '
Zhang Ziyi naturally saw the meaning in her father's eyes. Her face turned pale and she turned her head away.
But when she turned her head, she saw a familiar face flash past her eyes.
Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but turn her head again and look behind her.
She happened to see Lin Tian, who was looking around, looking over.
Their eyes met.
Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Lin Tian?!"
"Lin Tian?"
Hearing Zhang Ziyi's voice, Zhang Xiong, Zhong Qi, and the others all looked in the direction of Zhang Ziyi's gaze. They saw Lin Tian, who was dressed in white, quietly appear in their sight.
Zhang Xiong frowned subconsciously.
He didn't have a good impression of Lin Tian.
Zhong Qi studied Lin Tian in the distance with interest. After which, he casually asked, "Uncle Zhang, is this the guy you mentioned who wants to use the Zhang Clan's ultimate treasure, the Nine-colored God Nourishing Flower, in exchange for his help?"
Zhang Xiong nodded and replied, "Yes, that's him."
"His strength isn't that great …"
Zhong Qi shook his head and retracted his gaze. He said with some sarcasm, "His spiritual energy fluctuations are so weak. He's at most in the Phenomenon Realm. Who gave him the courage to offer such a price?"
One had to know that the Nine Color Spirit-Nourishing Flower was a Perfected Person's treasure.
Moreover, it was a top-grade Perfected Person's treasure.
An item of this level was enough to invite an ancient emperor to help.
It was true that the five great families' competition was important to the Zhang family, but it was also based on the premise that they could win the championship. If Lin Tian could defeat everyone and win, it would be worth it to spend this Perfected Person's treasure. But did he have the ability?
"He's just a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Nephew, you don't have to pay attention to him."
Zhang Xiong shook his head and couldn't be bothered to look at Lin Tian.
