On the day of the battle for the first place in the Golden Scale Association.
The teahouses, taverns, and even roadside stalls on all the streets of the capital city of Southern Chu were already filled with people. In the middle of the crowd, a spiritual mirror was placed, and everyone was talking about today’s competition.
“This year’s Golden Scale Association can really be described as unique and fresh.”
“Not only have several inheritors of the Source Technique emerged, but a few days ago, there were also demons causing trouble. Fortunately, the Youyun Mansion discovered and wiped them out in time. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would have suffered.”
“And today’s battle for the championship is even more interesting.”
“On one side is the Third Prince of our Great Chu, the direct disciple of Immortal Qionghua from Lutai Mountain, the favorite student of Martial God Zhu Huai and also possessing the Heavenly Rank Gui Water Spiritual bon. He can be regarded as a prodigy.
“On the other side, Xu Taiping comes from the Zhenwu Heaven with a declining martial fortune. He is just an ordinary cowherd in the secular world. The sect he belongs to may not even be considered third-rate in the Youyun Heaven.”
“But these two people are actually going to compete for the championship on the Golden Scale Platform today.”
“Such a situation is probably something that even the best fortune teller couldn’t have predicted！”
Inside a teahouse, a gray-haired storyteller is shaking his head and telling all the customers about today’s battle.”
“Oh, oh, here they come, here they come. The honored guests invited by the Third Prince are here！”
“Don’t push, don’t push. I can’t see anymore！”
Suddenly, the customers in the teahouse and the crowd watching on the street are all in a commotion.”
“Come and take a look, come and take a look. See who the Great Chu royal family has invited.”
The storyteller raised his hand, and the image on the spiritual mirror in the center of the teahouse suddenly enlarged, falling on the east side of the Golden Scale Pool, on the attic viewing stand closest to the Golden Scale Platform and also the most spacious and luxurious one.
Although the competition has not yet started at this moment, the cultivators who can enter the venue to watch the battle have already come on stage one after another.
And among them, in accordance with the usual practice, the Youyun Mansion will give the two best viewing stands of the entire Golden Scale Pool to the two sides of the leader competition, allowing them to invite their respective friends and relatives to watch the battle.
This is originally a good thing.
But I don’t know when it started, the two sides of the competition began to compare.
The people invited have more and more noble identities and higher and higher cultivation bases.
Over time, before the start of the leader test, evaluating which side invited more distinguished guests and with more weight has become a fixed drama before the start of each Golden Scale Association leader test.
“Welcome His Majesty King Zhao to watch the battle.”
“Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to watch the battle.”
“Welcome Zhu Huai, the Martial God of the Chu State, to watch the battle.”
At this time, the white-clothed deacon on the side of the Third Prince of the Youyun Mansion kept making sounds of welcome.
For the Youyun Mansion, this is also a good opportunity to build a good relationship with all parties in the world once in a few decades, and naturally will not snub the distinguished guests who come.
“At the invitation of the Third Prince of Southern Chu, Chu Yinan, the Patriarch of the Bai family, has come to watch the Golden Scale Meeting.”
“At the invitation of the Third Prince of Southern Chu, Chu Yinan, the Patriarch of the Qi family, has come to watch the Golden Scale Meeting.”
“At the invitation of the Third Prince of Southern Chu, Chu Yinan, the Patriarch of the Zhao family, has come to watch the Golden Scale Meeting.”
“……”
When hearing these names one by one, there would be exclamations from time to time in the crowd.
Because they found that several major families and immortal sects in Southern Chu had almost all arrived.
Even, many prominent great cultivators from other regions had also been invited.
It can be seen that the current Southern Chu royal family has great prestige in the cultivation world.
Just by hearing those names, some cultivators and drinkers in the restaurants and teahouses couldn’t help but cheer.
In contrast, the stand on Xu Taiping’s side is much colder.
Although there are also quite a few people coming, most of them are unknown people. Compared with the lineup on the side of the Chu royal family, it is much smaller.
“On the side of Xu Taiping from True Martial Heaven, it seems that not a single distinguished guest has been invited today？”
“He couldn’t invite them even if he wanted to, right？”
“That’s true. After all, he is just a small cultivator with no background.”
“Yes, I think that today’s event of the Third Prince will probably end hastily.”
Even in the cultivation world, there are many snobbish people. Even though Xu Taiping had an extremely amazing performance in the battle with the Mo Crow, after finding out that he has no family background, the words are still full of sarcasm.
These ridiculing voices can even be heard by Lu Rushuang and the others who have already sat on the stands.
Because this stand is not only extremely luxurious, but also so spacious that the group from Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall plus several old fellows who were once imprisoned in the WuxiangLand, all sitting inside, still seemed very desolate.
“Rushuang, if only you should have reported the names of us old, buddy.”
An old man sitting opposite Lu Rushuang’s table said somewhat complainingly.
This old man has gray beard, wears straw sandals anda coarse cloth dress. He is the former ancestor of the Wu family in Southern Chu, Wu Tiegut.
“Yes, even if recognized, it won’t cause much trouble.”
A kind-faced old woman, with her arm around Chu Tiancheng’s shoulder, said with a smile.
This person is the former mountain master of Xianli Mountain in Southern Chu, Zhu Lengqiu.
That day in Jinchan Valley to deal with the Night Demon, she really put in a lot of effort.
Better not. You just broke through to the Huajing realm and your realm is not yet stable. If the enemy came to the door, it will not be good.”
Lu Rushuang smiled and shook her head.
“And, a few friends from Taiping will be here soon. Having them to hold up the scene will be enough.”
She added with a smile.
“The friends from Taiping you mentioned, who exactly are they? Their reputation is even greater than mine?”
Wu Tiegu rolled his eyes at Lu Rushuang and was a bit not convinced.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
Lu Rushuang giggled.
Today, with all her old friends present, she seemed much more relaxed.
“Miss, those friends from Taiping are about to arrive.”
A Confucian scholar with a knife hanging from his waist walked up to Lu Rushuang respectfully and whispered a few words to her.
This person’s name is Lu Zhuo. He was sent by the family to protect Lu Rushuang before she started cultivating, and later he followed Lu Rushuang to travel through various worlds.
Later, when Lu Rushuang opened a martial arts school in Youyun Mansion, in order to cover up their identities, the two of them addressed each other as husband and wife.
Seven years ago, after coming out of the Blood Rain Forest, Lu Zhuo and several others secluded themselves to break through to the Huajing realm. It was only recently that they emerged from seclusion.
“Let’s go down and welcome them.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Rushuang’s face lit up with joy and she immediately stood up.
