“I just received orders from Night Rose Brothel Master.
The gathering is over and the overall winner is this Young Friend,” announced the First Floor Hot Lady, looking directly at Jiang WuShang.
“What?
The gathering is over?
This is so soon, and I thought the last round was still remaining!” said someone in the crowd.
“Yeah, this is so soon and the winner is that boy.
But we can’t deny it—his talent root is so high he can be counted in legends,” said someone in the crowd.
“How can this be?
How can he be the winner?
I do not agree with this!
The gathering is not over yet!
How in the world can someone possess this kind of talent in this kind of place?!” roared Young Master Ling.
“Oh, Young Master Ling, you do not agree?
What, do you think it depends on you?
Or do you want to test your roots again, trying to go against someone with an Earth High Rank Root talent?
What a joke!” laughed Lu Jun.
“You don’t have the right to interfere with my business!
It’s only been two rounds, there is still a third round.
I have been training with my grandfather, my comprehension is the highest in this place!” said Young Master Ling in a cold voice.
“Young Miss, Young Master Ling does not agree with Night Rose Brothel Master’s decision.
So are we participating in the third round?” said Lu Jun.
“Young Master Ling, you dare to disagree with Night Rose Master’s decision?
Who do you think you are?” said the First Floor Hot Lady in a cold voice, her powerful aura filling the entire ground floor.
“I…
I wouldn’t dare, but I think this is unfair.
We have to compete in the third round to choose a winner,” said Young Master Ling, trembling under the pressure.
“Unfair?
With your Mortal High Grade Root, can you compare with this Young Friend?
His talent is much, much stronger than any of you.
Look at you—to reach a beginner level of a low mortal rank manual you need three days, but with his talent, two hours are enough.
And you think you can compete with him?
What a joke!” said the First Floor Hot Lady.
Ding!
————-System ————— Host gained 5 points Total points: 50 ————————————- “Yes…
I can’t compare to him.
I’m leaving,” said Young Master Ling, hurriedly turning around to leave.
He was terrified of the First Floor Hot Lady; making her angry was nothing short of a death sentence.
“Young Friend, if you don’t mind, Night Rose Master wants to meet you.
Please follow me to the second floor to meet her,” said the First Floor Hot Lady.
“Yes, I am free, but first I want to talk to my friend, then I will meet with Night Rose Master,” said Jiang WuShang in a polite way.
“Okay, go on, I will wait here,” said the First Floor Hot Lady.
Jiang WuShang turned around and greeted Lu Jun.
“Brother Jun, thank you for your support.
Slapping Young Master Ling’s face felt good.” “Brother, it was nothing.
May I ask what is your name?” said Lu Jun.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Jiang WuShang,” said Jiang WuShang with a smile.
“Brother Jiang, today you have offended Young Master Ling.
Take care of yourself.
I heard Magistrate Ling has already broken through to the 7th level of Qi Gathering,” said Lu Jun in a worried voice.
“Thank you for reminding me, but it’s okay, he can’t touch me yet.
Brother Jun, we will soon meet again,” said Jiang WuShang, walking back over to leave with the First Floor Hot Lady.
— Soon, Jiang WuShang and the First Floor Hot Lady reached the private second floor, arriving right outside the room where the Young Lady and Young Miss were staying.
“Greetings, Young Lady and Young Miss.
I have brought the young man to meet you,” said the First Floor Lady, bowing respectfully.
“You may leave,” said the young girl in black.
“Yes, Young Miss,” said the First Floor Lady, stepping out and closing the door.
*System, what are their cultivations?* asked Jiang WuShang in a low voice.
Ding!
————-System ————— Host, that young girl’s cultivation is at the 9th level of Qi Gathering.
But that Young Lady’s cultivation is at the 8th level of Qi Foundation!
She is very strong.
————————————- *Both of them are strong, I definitely can’t offend them,* thought Jiang WuShang in shock.
“Greetings, Young Lady and Night Rose Master,” greeted Jiang WuShang, giving a half bow.
“Oh?
And how do you know I’m not the Master, but she is?” asked the Young Lady with curiosity, glancing at the young girl standing beside her.
“It was just my guess, Young Miss.
If I’m wrong, please forgive me,” said Jiang WuShang in a polite way.
“Oh?
On what basis did you guess that?” asked the Young Miss.
“For this kind of remote place, with her cultivation, she is strong and can hold her ground.
But your cultivation is much higher than hers—rarely ever seen in this kind of place,” said Jiang WuShang politely.
“Oh?
You can sense my cultivation?
Interesting,” said the Young Lady.
“I can only guess,” said Jiang WuShang.
“Then what is my cultivation, in your guess?” asked the Young Lady.
“If I’m not wrong, your cultivation is higher than the 6th level of Qi Foundation.
And as for her, the 9th level of Qi Gathering,” said Jiang WuShang.
“You are not wrong, we do possess this kind of cultivation,” said that Young Lady with a smile.
“May I know what is the reward for this time’s Poetry Gathering?” asked Jiang WuShang.
“I will tell you later.
Firstly, introduce yourself—your name and family,” said that Young Lady.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
I’m Jiang WuShang.
My father died two weeks ago, so I’m just an orphan,” said Jiang WuShang.
“Jiang WuShang…
Jiang WuShang…” The Young Lady repeated the name softly, a look of doubt crossing her face.
“Young friend, who is Jiang WuKong to you?” “You know my father?” asked Jiang WuShang in shock.
*She knows my father?
Looks like I have to hurry and open that box to know my origins!* “I know him.
If you are his son, then no wonder your talent is so high,” said that Young Lady with a smile.
“Young Miss, how do you know about my father?” asked Jiang WuShang.
“I will tell you everything that you want to know, but you have to listen to me.
If you agree, I will take you somewhere you deserve to be,” said the Young Lady.
“Young Miss, please tell me.
I don’t even know how my father died, I want to know!” said Jiang WuShang.
“Do you want to join Azure Academy as a disciple?” asked the Young Lady.
“No,” answered Jiang WuShang without a second thought.
“Then you don’t want to join Azure Academy?
With your talent, you can easily pass the test to ascend to the upper realm,” said the Young Lady with a confused expression.
“I do want to join Azure Academy, but not as a disciple—as an intern,” said Jiang WuShang honestly.
“Good, you have ambitions.
But tell me, you don’t have any cultivation right now.
How are you going to reach the 6th level of Qi Gathering in 14 days?” said the Young Lady in a curious voice.
“Young Miss, if I can reach the 6th level of Qi Gathering in 14 days, what will be my reward?” said Jiang WuShang with a smile.
“Oh?
You seem confident.
Okay then, if you reach Qi Gathering 6th level in 14 days, I will tell you all my plans and go on one date with me.
But if you lose, you will lose your head.
What do you think?” said the Young Lady, looking Jiang WuShang eye to eye.
*Oh, I will lose my head?
Okay then, I accept these conditions,* thought Jiang WuShang, smiling.
*After knowing my name she is like a different person, and she is beautiful, so a date with her is not bad.* “Okay then, go on.
I will meet you on Azure Academy Recruitment day.
But don’t tell anyone about me—it can’t help you, and it can only get you in trouble,” said the Young Lady.
“I’m not looking for help, and as for trouble, I’m not afraid of any trouble.
I will take my leave then,” said Jiang WuShang and left.
*Trouble?
Isn’t that my regular day?
Without trouble, how can I get emotion points?* Once he left, the young girl beside the Young Lady spoke with a worried expression.
“Young Miss, your origin is extraordinary.
How can you grant him a date with you?
I know he has a talent root that can help him ascend to the Sub-Martial Realm, and if he is lucky he can ascend to the Martial Realm, but any further is impossible!” “What do you know?
His origin is far more mysterious and extraordinary than mine.
You are still young—when you reach my level, you will understand that he is the one we are looking for.
And dating him is not bad,” said the Young Lady with a blush.
“Yes, Miss,” said that young girl, though she couldn’t help but think to herself while patting her cheeks, *I don’t understand…
looking at your red face, you have become a love-struck fool!
And as for his origin, isn’t he just from a low place like this?* — Soon, Jiang WuShang reached his home and sat down cross-legged on his bed.
“System, with my Emotion Points, what is my reward?” said Jiang WuShang with excitement.
Ding!
————-System ————— Host gained 50 points!
System reached Level 2!
————————————- “System, what are my rewards?” said Jiang WuShang.
Ding!
————-System ————— System Reached Level 2 Rewards: 1 Mortal High Grade Qi Breaking Pill 1 Earth Medium Level King’s Physique Technique 1 Earth Medium Grade King’s Qi Cultivation Technique ————————————- “Good, good!
This is exactly what I need right now!
With this Qi Breaking Pill, I can breakthrough to the Qi Gathering stage in no time!
System, accept rewards!” said Jiang WuShang with a broad smile.
