You'll Know After Trying
Under Yang Yu's lead, Gu Xuan quickly found the building where Xue Feng and the others were.
"Senior Brother Yang Yu!"
The four of them stood up at the same time and bowed to Yang Yu. As the top genius of Ying Tian Sect, Yang Yu naturally received everyone's respect.
Possessing strength and keeping a low profile, these were the geniuses that they recognized the most. On the other hand, Gu Xuan overestimated himself and wasted the academy's resources, which made them feel extremely disgusted.
"Junior Brothers, this is Junior Brother Gu Xuan. The five of you should take care of each other in this trip to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion." Yang Yu smiled and introduced.
"Gu Xuan?" The four of them looked at Gu Xuan with some suspicion in their eyes.
They had seen Gu Xuan before, but they did not pay much attention to him. They thought that Yang Yu had brought a follower with him, but they did not expect that person to be Gu Xuan.
"Gu Xuan is already at this age?"
The four of them shook their heads in their hearts. They originally thought that Gu Xuan was a genius since he was able to participate in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion as a Two Star Honorable, and that the sect wanted to nurture him. However, they now realized that Gu Xuan was not much younger than them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was of the same age.
A disciple of the same age as them, who was only a Two Star Honorable, was actually going to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion with them?
"Junior Brothers, I will take my leave first. The sect's elders will bring you to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion later, so I will not disturb you. During this time, you five can familiarize yourselves with each other."
Yang Yu smiled and said goodbye to Gu Xuan before turning around and leaving.
Gu Xuan stood there and saw the four of them frowning and looking at him with some disgust on their faces. He could not help but rub his nose.
It seemed like these people were not very friendly to him.
"Gu Xuan."
After Yang Yu left, one of them stood up and spoke first. It was Gu Peng, who had the deepest opinion of Gu Xuan.
"I originally thought that you relied on your talent to get the sect to give you this opportunity. But now, you've disappointed me even more than I imagined!"
Gu Peng's face was cold, "I'm only nineteen years old, and I'm an eight-star Honorable. I feel that my talent is average, and I have to fight for everything on my own. I don't dare to hope that the sect will give me special training. You should be seventeen years old, right? You're just a two-star Honorable at this age. How dare you stand here?"
Xue Feng frowned and said, "Gu Peng, you are going overboard with your words. Although Junior Brother Gu Xuan's cultivation is lower, it was the sect's arrangement to come to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. Perhaps he was forced to do so. It is indeed a pity that your younger brother was eliminated, but it has nothing to do with Junior Brother Gu Xuan."
"No relationship?" The sneer on Gu Peng's face became even more intense, "Senior Brother Xue, you're too good at comforting yourself. Look at his age. If he had Senior Brother Yang's cultivation, he would indeed be a genius. However, he's only a Two Star Venerable Rank. How could he be worthy of the word 'genius'? Being able to come to the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion is probably due to connections. "
"Are you done?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked in a faint voice.
"Of course not." The sneer on Gu Peng's face became even more intense, "Gu Xuan, I hope that you can save some face for yourself. Don't be too shameless. With your strength, you are only the weakest in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. Not only will you not be able to obtain the treasure, but you will also cause the death of all of us. If you still have some dignity, you should withdraw yourself."
"My younger brother has obtained fifth place in the selection for the quota. He should have obtained the quota. He is more qualified than someone like you!" Gu Peng said coldly.
"Whether I am qualified or not is not something that you can decide. Both you and I are going to enter the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. I don't want to take action against you." Gu Xuan looked at Gu Peng and said slowly.
"You don't want to take action against me?" Gu Peng sneered, "You are merely a Two Star Venerable Rank. I can kill you with a finger. Yet, you are unwilling to take action against me. Where did you get the face to say such ignorant words? Since you don't want to listen to my advice, I will tell you directly. You should get lost as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not let you off when we enter the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. "
"Pitiful." Gu Xuan shook his head and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Who said that a seventeen-year-old Two Star Venerable Rank can't be a genius? You are just short-sighted and don't know the meaning of being a genius."
Gu Xuan did not feel guilty towards Gu Peng at all. The so-called taking up the quota of Gu Peng's younger brother was only forced on him by Gu Peng.
It was already a blessing for a sect to give a portion of the resources to their disciples to fight for. Even if they did not give this opportunity, it was normal for them to arrange it casually.
However, Gu Peng thought that only the top five could obtain the quota after setting up the selection for the quota. It was just wishful thinking. Moreover, Gu Xuan's quota was given by the sect. Gu Peng's younger brother's quota was also revoked by the sect. Gu Peng did not have the guts to argue with the sect. Instead, he vented his anger on himself.
"Hahaha!" Gu Peng laughed wildly. His face was filled with mockery and disdain, "Did everyone hear that? Gu Xuan actually said that I don't know the meaning of being a genius. Could it be that he wants to say that although he is a Two Star Venerable Rank, he is still a genius? There is actually such a shameless person in this world."
Xue Feng and the other two frowned. Their impression of Gu Xuan was extremely bad.
It was fine that Gu Xuan obtained the quota through his connections. However, he did not know what humility was and spoke arrogantly. Even the three of them, who had no conflict of interest with Gu Xuan, were disgusted by him.
"If you want to know if what I said is true or not, you just have to verify it." Gu Xuan smiled faintly and looked at Gu Peng, "Since you want me to leave, I will give you a chance. Fight with me. If I lose, I will leave immediately. However, if you lose, you have to shut your mouth."
"Are you serious?" Gu Peng stared at Gu Xuan.
"Gu Xuan, you should stop talking too." Xue Feng frowned. He was unhappy. Since Gu Xuan was someone arranged by the elder, how could they dare to chase Gu Xuan away? If Gu Xuan was defeated and did not fulfill his promise, Gu Peng would be even angrier.
As for Gu Xuan winning? He did not consider it at all. There was a gap of six stars between the two of them. Not to mention an unknown ordinary disciple, even Yang Yu would not be able to do it.
"I feel that it is better to settle this matter now." Gu Xuan smiled faintly, "If he is still hostile towards me in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion, I am afraid that he might take action against me. Although I do not mind, if he is angered, he might not be able to keep his life."
Gu Peng was furious. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Gu Xuan. This Gu Xuan, it was bad enough that he cheated, but he was still so arrogant.
