148: Chapter 148 Who in the world does not know you?

Now, there was a commotion on all sides.

"Are you saying that the [Number One Person of the Lower Realm] has come up?"

"It is absolutely true. That Chen Xing, who defeated Ye Jianxing while in the Divine Sea Realm and shone brilliantly on the frontier battlefield, ascended yesterday."

"Which guesthouse is he staying at?"

"The Chu Family."

"What?"

"..."

Because the Virtual World technology had been updated and upgraded, allowing them to challenge most Geniuses, they all made a habit of challenging various experts.

Nowadays, who hasn't challenged Chen Xing, this Number One Person of the Lower Realm?

They had all been thrashed by Chen Xing to some extent, harboring some resentment, so they really wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person he actually was.

Not long after the news spread, quite a few guests arrived outside the Chu Family, all wanting to see Chen Xing.

"Chen Xing is a distinguished guest of our Chu Family. We cannot force him to come out, but we can convey messages. If you have anything you wish to say, you may let me convey it."

The Heavenly Position Realm Venerable of the Chu Family stopped these people, persistently refusing to let them in.

Before long, old acquaintances from the Lower Realm like Su He, Li Baxian, and Gu Qingyun came to visit one after another.

Inside the courtyard, everyone gathered for a small reunion.

"Your progress speed is as fast as ever, you guy." Tang Daoling couldn't help but say.

"Just average, just average. Currently, I have only shattered the seed twice. It doesn't meet my true expectations yet; it's still too early." Chen Xing shook his head and said.

"How many times are you planning on?" Li Baxian asked.

"How can I predict that? Let's see if the next Perfect Seed I condense meets my expectations. Cultivation in the Spirit Seed Realm is very long; there's no rush." Chen Xing said.

"Are you staying here for now?" Su He asked.

"Pretty much, but I will leave after a while." Chen Xing nodded.

"What, is my Chu Family's place not big enough for you to live in?" Chu Li asked.

"That's different. It's your home after all. I need to go find my teacher later." Chen Xing laughed.

"If you are interested, you can come sit at my Su Family's place. We welcome you at any time." Su He said.

"Alright, I will go take a look if I have the chance." Chen Xing nodded.

At this moment, Gu Qingyun walked over and said calmly, "I received news that the Young Lord of the Sword Tower is currently putting a bounty on you. You need to be careful."

Chen Xing paused slightly: "A bounty? Daring to do such a thing in the Upper Realm, is there no law or order?"

Gu Qingyun shook his head: "This kind of bounty is actually just for defeating you. He said that whoever can defeat you fair and square on the arena, he will give money. It is not the kind of assassination behavior, so it is not illegal."

Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully: "I see... As expected, there are disputes everywhere. But is he really that petty, insisting on going after me?"

Gu Qingyun nodded: "The Geniuses who can come to the Upper Realm are all arrogant. He was once forced to kneel and apologize. How could you think he would forget such a thing? What's more, he is a small-minded person."

"Sigh, it's a pity I'm not in the Heavenly Position Realm. Otherwise, I would really want to beat him up." Chen Xing sighed.

"You..." Hearing this, everyone was left speechless between laughter and tears.

Others avoid the Young Lord of the Sword Tower like the plague, but this guy actually wants to go fight him.

But then again, being specifically targeted right after arriving in the Upper Realm—anyone would be unhappy about that.

"Young Miss, a distinguished guest has arrived, solely to see Mr. Chen Xing." At this time, a Venerable walked over.

"Didn't I say no visitors?" Chu Li frowned slightly.

"I know, but... this person has a special status, and it was hard for me to refuse." The Venerable whispered.

"What status? Has an Immortal come to visit?" Hearing this, Chu Li's expression became serious.

"Not exactly, but..." The Venerable hesitated.

"This person is one of the ten great guards under Venerable Hua, Number Eight—Li Yueran. She came here saying she wants to bring Mr. Chen Xing a stroke of good fortune."

"Venerable Hua, which Venerable Hua?" Everyone's hearts were shaken.

"The Number One Person of the Upper Realm." The Venerable whispered.

Boom! This news was like a thunderbolt, immediately exploding.

The Number One Person of the Upper Realm—Hua Zizai. He was the strongest Prodigy of the entire Alliance. It was just rumored that he didn't seem to be in the Upper Realm, but no one knew where he had gone.

And the ten experts under his command were rumored to be S-class Espers from other regions.

That's right, those ten under his command were all S-class, and top-tier at that!

But why would his guard come here?

"Good fortune, what kind of good fortune?" Chen Xing stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know. She only said that much and asked me to bring you over." The Venerable said.

Hearing this, Chen Xing exchanged glances with everyone.

...

Outside the Chu Family, on the other side of the river, there was a bamboo pavilion.

Chen Xing and the others walked out the door and saw a woman with pink hair sitting under the pavilion. The matching clothing tightly wrapped around her graceful body, which was an eye-opener.

The arrival of Hua Zizai's guard was undoubtedly shocking news. Many experts came for her reputation and watched from afar.

Before coming, he had already learned about her. Li Yueran, an S-class Genius from the Li Family, whose ability was the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.

"May I ask, are you looking for me?" Chen Xing stepped forward alone.

"You're here." Li Yueran turned her head listlessly and scanned him up and down.

"I'll make a long story short. Do you know who I am?" She said.

"An expert from the Li Family... or a guard of Venerable Hua?" Chen Xing hesitated.

"Both." Li Yueran stood up and took out a jade tablet from her bosom, with [Eleven] engraved on it.

"There are quite a few people following our Lord. If you are willing, you can follow by his side and act as the eleventh guard. Even if your cultivation is too low, following by the Lord's side, these are not problems."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly ignited the whole scene.

Who is Hua Zizai? He was the Number One Prodigy of the Alliance. Which one of those who could follow by his side was not a person of stunning talent?

"This Chen Xing... to have such treatment right after arriving in the Upper Realm, it really makes us envious!"

"Actually, it's not a problem. Chen Xing has the title of Number One Person of the Lower Realm; he possesses the qualifications himself."

"Sigh, I originally wanted to challenge him to a duel, but now I'm afraid it's even more difficult."

"Give it a rest, why don't you try winning against the AI in the Virtual World first?"

"..."

Others whispered and discussed heatedly.

Chen Xing looked at the jade tablet; it had a special mark inside and emitted a faint floral fragrance.

"I do not have that intention. Right now, I just want to improve my cultivation first. Moreover, my personality is not suitable for being a guard. Senior should look for someone else suitable." Chen Xing politely declined.

"I said it, didn't I? As long as you are willing, cultivation Realm is not a problem. Following by the Lord's side, you can receive the best training. Perhaps in the future, you can even surpass us." Li Yueran said.

"I have no intention. Senior, please return." Chen Xing shook his head slightly.

Li Yueran looked at him without speaking, as if thinking about something.

And the fact that Chen Xing refused made everyone's jaws drop.

To be able to follow by the side of the strongest of the current generation, such a rare opportunity, he actually refused?!
