Yun Lintian spent some Profound Stones getting a standard private room on the second floor. Although the room was not large compared to the top one, it was enough for Yun Lintian's group to settle in.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, for bringing us here." Jia Rong said gratefully. Even though she was a core disciple of the Bright Sword Sect, she had never participated in this kind of event before.
"You're welcome. If you want anything, just tell me." Yun Lintian said generously.
Jia Rong nodded her head shyly with a faint blush on her cheeks… Could it be Brother Lin interested in me?
Yuan Long and the other glanced at each other and grinned. It would be good if their Junior Sister Jia were together with Yun Lintian.
On the side, Shen Liqiu snorted in dissatisfaction and pinched Yun Lintian's waist, causing to latter to scream out. "Hmph! Are you trying to add a new wife to your harem?"
Yun Lintian rubbed his waist speechlessly. He had absolutely no intention of flirting with Jia Rong. He offered to buy things for her simply out of guilt. After all, Jia Rong and her group were implicated by him, and he fully believed Xie Jianyu would deal with them during the assessment.
"Oh? Look. Who is that?" Shen Liqiu suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking into the hall.
This person had a rather handsome face and a lofty demeanor. He was clad in a golden robe with a divine thunder sigil on his chest.
"That person should be Lei Jun, the young master of the Divine Thunder Palace." Yuan Long said in a low voice.
Yun Lintian nodded his head slightly. This person was naturally his long-lost enemy, Lei Jun. Since the last encounter, Lei Jun's strength had improved drastically, as he had already stepped into the fifth level of the Ruler Profound Realm.
However, compared to Yun Lintian's heaven-defying progress speed, it was not worth mentioning.
Yun Lintian was wondering how Lei Jun would react when he saw him become a saint now.
As Lei Jun entered the hall, everyone subconsciously looked at him. In any case, most people here were hailing from top factions. They were relatively informed and could naturally recognize Lei Jun.
Lei Jun didn't even look at anyone. He went straight to the private room on the top floor with his four monarch-level bodyguards.
"Heh. He's still pretentious like before." Shen Liqiu sneered when she saw this scene.
"Isn't that your fiance? Do you want to greet him?" Yun Lintian teased through a sound transmission.
Shen Liqiu curled her lips and said charmingly. "Could it be you are jealous, husband? Hehe. You don't have to worry about it. In this life, my heart and body belong to you alone."
Yun Lintian's face darkened, and he was unbothered to talk with her further. He forgot that this woman's skin was several times thicker than his. It was useless to tease her like this.
"What a lively." At this moment, a handsome young man clad in white walked into the hall while fanning an exquisite wooden fan.
He had a refined and cultured temperament, looking like a scholar with deep knowledge. A faint star symbol could be seen between his brows, making him look attractive.
"That is Xing Renshu, the young master of the Star Gazing Palace." Yuan Long whispered.
It was as if the young man could hear Yuan Long's voice. He suddenly turned to look in Yuan Long's direction and smiled faintly before looking elsewhere.
This scene made Yuan Long freeze and turn pale in horror. He didn't even notice that his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
"Take a sip of tea." Yun Lintian turned to Yuan Long and said with a smile.
Yuan Long did as Yun Lintian said, but his hand was shaking, spilling some tea on the floor. Obviously, he was frightened by Xing Renshu earlier.
Yun Lintian shook his head inwardly when he saw this. Even though he had no idea about swordsmanship, he knew that a sword practitioner must have a firm and unshakable mind. Otherwise, it would be difficult to advance in the profound path of swordsmanship.
Yuan Long was clearly not good enough in this aspect.
"You don't have to fear him. This person isn't that powerful when it comes to fighting. His strength lies in scheming." Shen Liqiu spoke straightly without fear.
Yuan Long smiled bitterly. How could a young master who grew up in a top faction like the Star Gazing Palace be easy, as she said?
"It's actually an Azure Palace's young master!" All of a sudden, some people in the crowd exclaimed, immediately attracting Yun Lintian and the others' attention.
When they glanced over at the entrance, a seventeen-year-old-looking young man stepped into the hall with his hands behind his back. His appearance could be described as aloof and mysterious. His eyes were deep, like a pool without a bottom. Anyone looking into his eyes would feel like they were falling into a bottomless abyss.
He was dressed in a pristine white robe without any pattern or decoration, but it didn't affect his extraordinary bearing in the slightest.
Every step he took carried an unfathomable momentum that caused the crowd to forget breathing for a moment.
"Weilan Tian." Shen Liqiu said solemnly. "I met this person once a few years back then. There is only one word to describe him—a monster."
Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at the young man, Weilan Tian. He knew his strength very well, but he could feel a threat coming from this person, even though this person was only at the first level of the Saint Profound Realm.
"There was a rumor back then. It was said he had singlehandedly slain a saint-level flood dragon when he was at the peak of the Heaven Profound Realm." Shen Liqiu glanced at Yun Lintian and said with a serious expression. "His talent may not be inferior to yours."
"Interesting…" Yun Lintian smiled faintly. It could be said this was the first time he met a genuinely heaven-chosen genius among his peers.
