Chapter 1662 - 1473: Ning Qingqing

Xuan Shiyang sneered, delighted, "Xuan Chuqing, the more brazen and arrogant you are, the better."

"Haha, Chuqing, your temper is as fierce as ever. Don’t be so willful. Your partner isn’t Mr. Yue, could it be one of your brothers?" Sui Jian appeared to be in a good mood, because even though he was confronted by Xuan Chuqing, he didn’t show any sign of anger. Instead, he continued to smile gently, joking.

"That’s right, it’s me. Does Young Master Sui have a problem?" This time, Ye Tian spoke before Xuan Chuqing could.

Since entering the guest hall, most people hadn’t noticed Ye Tian at all, completely ignoring him, because an Upper Great Emperor Nine Revolutions is considered to have the strength of a servant in the Ze Civilization.

Especially today, as the most elite forces in the Ze Civilization and geniuses on the Heaven Stepping List gathered here, an Upper Great Emperor Nine Revolutions truly... had no sense of presence, even though he was barely 30 years old.

At this moment, Ye Tian spoke.

The entire guest hall fell silent!!!!!!

Holy ****.

Stunned.

This... this...

A young Upper Great Emperor Nine Revolutions dared to confront Sui Jian?

What the hell.

Terrifying.

Could it be that the younger you are, the bolder you become?

Moreover, did he truly say he was Xuan Chuqing’s partner? Did I hear wrong?!

"Chuqing, you’re just joking, right?" Sui Jian’s face trembled.

"Who’s joking with you? Also, don’t call me Chuqing, you’re not entitled to use that name." Xuan Chuqing was truly fed up, furrowing her brow lightly, continuing to confront him.

After confronting him, under everyone’s gaze, Xuan Chuqing even tugged at Ye Tian’s sleeve.

With Ye Tian, she headed toward the corner of the guest hall.

So annoying.

All so inexplicable.

All so superior.

All so self-important.

Couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

"Chuqing, your temper, uh..." Ye Tian found it amusing; this girl truly has quite the temper.

"It’s not that I have a bad temper, it’s that I’m suppressed. People envy my identity, my Martial Arts Talent, envy my background, envy that I have an exceptionally evil brother, and so on."

"But what I feel is suffocation, deeply suppressed by my identity, my talent, my appearance, my background, my brother. Do I have to do things a certain way? Do I have to care about others’ opinions? Do I have to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to me? Do I have to lose all my freedom?"

"Honestly, I long to be ordinary!!!"

Xuan Chuqing said a lot in one breath, bringing Ye Tian to the corner of the guest hall and directly sitting down. Then, she poured herself a cup of Spiritual Wine and drank it all, also pouring a cup for Ye Tian.

"Cheer up, entering the Secret Realm might surprise you, perhaps even helping you win first place," Ye Tian said with a smile, also pouring himself a cup of wine.

Xuan Chuqing just thought Ye Tian was comforting her and didn’t think much of it.

In the center of the guest hall, Sui Jian, Yue Yan, and others were left feeling awkward.

Xuan Jingping’s face was so grim it looked as though storm clouds were gathering.

Many others in the guest hall began whispering, their eyes continuously glancing at Xuan Chuqing and Ye Tian in the corner, feeling playful, strange, and speechless.

Just as the atmosphere became more and more awkward and tense.

Suddenly.

"Hahaha, is everyone here now? I, the City Lord, welcome you all!" A voice rang from the center throne in the guest hall, very bizarrely, a charismatic and weathered middle-aged figure suddenly appeared on the throne.

The middle-aged man wore a purple-red robe, with a crown, exuding a sense of dominance and mystique.

"Half-step Immortal Emperor?" Ye Tian’s eyes shook violently; in an instant, he sensed the other’s realm.

Truly powerful to the extreme!

This was the strongest person Ye Tian had seen in the Ze Civilization Realm.

"Thank you, City Lord," everyone in the guest hall clasped their hands.

"I, the City Lord, toast to you all." The next moment, the Buried Immortal City Lord held up a cup of wine, raised it and drank it all, "Wishing you talented geniuses a good result."

As he spoke, the Buried Immortal City Lord’s gaze lingered on Fu Yi, Yue Yan, and Sui Jian for a while.

This scene was seen by many, and it was normal for Sui Jian and Yue Yan to be given special attention, but Fu Yi...

Obviously, Fu Ren ranks ninth on the Heaven Stepping List, while Fu Yi is only eleventh. Fu Ren is at the Ninth Level of the Immortal King Realm, even though he’s newly entered the Ninth Level, while Fu Yi is just at the Eighth Layer of the Immortal King Realm!

Strange.

"Did the Buried Immortal City Lord also notice Fu Yi’s disguise?" Ye Tian thought, not surprised. If the Buried Immortal City Lord hadn’t noticed, that would have been truly surprising.

"Oh, right, how absent-minded of me. I, the City Lord, have a daughter who you all should know of; she likes to cause trouble, thinks herself somewhat capable and talented. This time, she insists on joining the Secret Realm competition. I have no options, couldn’t resist her pressure, so I’ve decided to let her enter the Secret Realm to play." Then, the Buried Immortal City Lord suddenly said.

As he spoke, a figure had already appeared beside the Buried Immortal City Lord.

It was a young woman in white.

Bold and spirited.

Somewhat proud, she slightly raised her head, her expression cold, her gaze honed, carrying a sense of aloofness.

It seemed as if no one caught her attention.

Not much older, about the same age as Luo Ningning, at the Fourth Layer of the Immortal King Realm, very intimidating—considering Xuan Chuqing was only at the Fifth Layer of the Immortal King Realm.

She’s seven million years younger than Xuan Chuqing, yet only a Small Realm behind.
