139: Fourth person in a small group

Days passed one by one.

Soon, a month had flown by.

Liu Piaoling sought out Shen Xi again.

“Has the time come?”

Shen Xi immediately understood Liu Piaoling’s intention.

“Yes! According to the news from Zhu Feng City, the Chasing Wind Secret Realm will open in five days, and all the nearby factions have already started to move.”

After speaking, Liu Piaoling waved his hand behind him: “Lin Sheng, why don’t you come over and greet Little Brother Shen.”

As his voice fell, a young man in his early twenties nodded politely towards Shen Xi.

“Hello!”

Shen Xi also greeted him courteously.

“Please guide me.”

It must be said that under Liu Piaoling’s guidance, Liu Linsheng’s character was indeed good.

He did not put on airs of superiority just because he was older.

“In the days to come, we will be in the same boat, helping each other.”

Shen Xi responded with a smile.

“Little Brother Shen, we will gather at the Senate this afternoon. I’m going to find Liu Yiyi first.”

Liu Piaoling didn't linger; he said goodbye and chose to leave... In the afternoon.

Senate.

Shen Xi arrived here as agreed.

The younger generation representing the Twenty-eighth City to the Chasing Wind Secret Realm had already gathered for the most part.

Looking around, there were quite a few people.

There were over a hundred influential figures in the Twenty-eighth City who were qualified to obtain a spot in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm; some held one spot, while others held four or five spots, totaling over three hundred people from the younger generation.

This made Shen Xi feel shocked.

He hadn't expected the Twenty-eighth City to be even more full of hidden Dragons than he had imagined.

Among these three hundred-plus people, the weakest were at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy, while the stronger ones had reached the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm and Houtian Lesser Stage.

It must be known that due to the restrictions of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, only the younger generation under thirty years old was eligible to enter the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

This also meant that the Twenty-eighth City actually had quite a few Geniuses who had broken through to the Houtian Realm before the age of thirty.

Indeed, the world is vast, and Geniuses are countless.

Just one Twenty-eighth City alone had so many Geniuses, not to mention all the Federal Safety Cities, and cities in the wilderness similar to Zhu Feng City.

Adding in the Secluded Factions, Shen Xi could imagine this would be a Dragon-eat-Dragon battle of Geniuses.

“Little Brother Shen, this is the Vice City Lord’s sixteenth grandson, and also the fourth person in your small group. After entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, you can help each other and compete for more Opportunities.”

Liu Piaoling led a spirited young man to Shen Xi and introduced him.

The sixteenth grandson’s name was Sun Wei, and his strength had already reached the Houtian Lesser Stage.

Not only was he the strongest on paper in this small group, but even among the entire younger generation of the Twenty-eighth City, he was one of the best.

It seemed that Liu Piaoling had gone to great lengths for his grandson.

He sought out Shen Xi and Liu Yiyi for cooperation, and also found Sun Wei, all ultimately to increase Liu Linsheng’s chances of survival in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

“Hello!”

Shen Xi extended his hand and spoke amiably.

But to his surprise, Sun Wei didn't even bother to glance at him, directly ignoring his outstretched hand, and his gaze fell upon Liu Yiyi.

“This beautiful girl, my name is Sun Wei, and it’s an honor to meet you.”

Sun Wei actively greeted Liu Yiyi, a smile he considered charming appearing on his Face.

Liu Yiyi frowned almost imperceptibly at this.

Although she was polite to Shen Xi, it was because she considered Shen Xi to be one of her own kind, a Genius among Geniuses, and Shen Xi was even more of a Prodigy than her.

But for Sun Wei, she had no interest.

On one hand, it was naturally due to Liu Yiyi’s arrogance as the successor of a Secluded Faction.

On the other hand, it was also because she simply didn’t care for so-called talent.

Sun Wei was indeed at the Houtian Lesser Stage, but he was almost thirty years old and was the Vice City Lord’s grandson, having received a large amount of resources for cultivation since childhood.

At nearly thirty years old, with a large amount of resources for cultivation, Sun Wei only reached this Realm, so Liu Yiyi naturally looked down on him.

If it were her, or Shen Xi, at this age, breaking through to the Xiantian Realm would be as easy as turning a hand.

Their Aptitude was simply not on the same level.

If Sun Wei's performance was one in ten thousand, then Liu Yiyi and Shen Xi's performance was one in a hundred million. (Shen Xi's Aptitude was poor, but because he had the Thirteen system, from Liu Yiyi's perspective, Shen Xi's Aptitude even surpassed her own.)

“Hahaha, beauties indeed have pride.”

Sun Wei laughed heartily. Seeing that Liu Yiyi ignored him, he didn't get angry and simply withdrew his hand.

In fact, he didn't dare to get angry.

In this past month, the news of Liu Yiyi's appearance in the Twenty-eighth City had already spread like wildfire, and the slightly prominent factions within the city had thoroughly investigated Liu Yiyi's identity.

As the Vice City Lord's grandson, Sun Wei naturally knew Liu Yiyi's identity, and precisely because of this, he was eager to get closer to her.

Now, having been rebuffed, Sun Wei dared not get angry. If he offended Liu Yiyi, let alone him, even his Vice City Lord grandfather would be in great trouble.

However, although Sun Wei dared not provoke Liu Yiyi, he had, after all, been snubbed, which made his expression particularly ugly, and his gaze naturally fell upon Shen Xi.

If he couldn't offend Liu Yiyi, could he still not offend Shen Xi?

A kid who got lucky and climbed from the slums to the Inner City was simply not worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, Sun Wei immediately said in a sarcastic tone: “This operation in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm will be full of dangers. Some people, don’t think that by getting on good terms with me, you can just coast along and wait to die. Once danger arises, I will not waste my time and energy on those unimportant fellows. My goal is the legendary Wind Chasing Swordplay.”

The “unimportant people” in Sun Wei’s mouth naturally referred to Shen Xi.

Liu Linsheng, after all, was Liu Piaoling’s grandson, and Liu Piaoling was still here, so Sun Wei naturally wouldn’t contradict him and make him lose Face.

There was no need to say more about Liu Yiyi, the successor of a Secluded Faction, who had once killed Xu Zhongtian with a single move, and her true combat power was even above Sun Wei’s.

Moreover, Sun Wei even hoped that Liu Yiyi would encounter danger so that he could stage a heroic rescue and bring them closer.

Only Shen Xi, to him, was unimportant, even a hindrance.

Hearing this, Shen Xi instantly reacted. He sneered and said: “The ‘unimportant people’ you mentioned, you’re talking about me, aren’t you?”

Sun Wei was stunned, not expecting Shen Xi to actually retort directly.
