"Come, come." At this moment, the City Lord interrupted Xiang Nan's thoughts.
Hong Zhen raised his gla.s.s and said, "Let's congratulate the young geniuses of our Blue Stone City together. Because of their existence, our Blue Stone City can grow stronger and stronger!"
Everyone raised their gla.s.ses and congratulated in unison.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was lively, and the topic of discussion was naturally around martial arts and the wonderful performances of the six towns.h.i.+p selection areas.
Following that, the City Lord announced on the spot that he wanted to introduce a very important guest to everyone.
The important guest he invited over was the mysterious young man from the w.a.n.g Clan.
Upon seeing this person, Xiang Nan paid extra attention.
Seeing how respectful City Lord Hong Zhen was towards that mysterious youth, he knew that that person's ident.i.ty was extraordinary.
"Let me introduce you." City Lord Hong Zhen pointed at the man from the w.a.n.g Clan and said, "This person is w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, the eldest son of w.a.n.g Changhe, the current head of the w.a.n.g Clan."
"At the same time, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun is also a core disciple of our Blue Tide Continent's second-rate sect, Chihuo Sect."
Once these words were spoken, there was an uproar!
Second-rate sects? That was an existence second only to the eight great sects! To a person in a small place like Blue Stone City, a second-rate sect like Chihuo Sect was definitely an existence above the clouds!
A junior from the w.a.n.g Clan actually entered the Chihuo Sect ? Moreover, he had become a core disciple of the Chihuo Sect !
"Congratulations! I knew the w.a.n.g Clan would definitely be extraordinary!"
"That's right, Xiao Yun, this child has been talented since he was young. I've already seen it."
"Patriarch Long River, the n.o.bility has produced such a talented person. This is truly the glory of our Bluestone City."
Everyone's att.i.tudes towards the w.a.n.g Clan instantly changed. Even the large clans in the other towns looked at the w.a.n.g Clan differently.
"So that's the case" Xiang Nan nodded to himself. No wonder w.a.n.g Xiaoyun ambushed him on the day of the election, but the City Lord didn't blame him. So he didn't dare to offend Chihuo Sect.
Immediately after, the City Lord threw out another bomb!
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun was actually the sect representative representing the Chihuo Sect ! In other words, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's words could determine who would be able to enter the Chihuo Sect in the future.
This news instantly praised the w.a.n.g Clan to the heavens! His status had even surpa.s.sed that of the City Lord in this sensitive period.
Everyone from the w.a.n.g Clan stood up one after another and went to establish a relations.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g Clan.
At this time, the w.a.n.g Clan sneered in Xiang Nan's direction.
The situation was obvious. Most of the sects that had come to select outstanding talents were third-rate sects or even fourth-rate sects.
At this moment, the involvement of a second-rate sect would definitely make the other sects very fearful. It could be said that the representatives of the other sects would follow w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's lead.
Now that everyone looked at w.a.n.g Xiaoyun again, they were already quite respectful. This kind of respect came from fear and admiration.
Xiang Nan frowned. He knew that his path of retreat was getting narrower and narrower. He and the w.a.n.g Clan were enemies, but the w.a.n.g Clan had obtained the absolute right to speak in the selection of Martial City.
He was afraid that his future path would become even more difficult.
Thus, the focus of the celebration banquet s.h.i.+fted from the six champions to w.a.n.g Xiaoyun alone.
Xiang Nan also sensed that everyone's att.i.tudes towards him had also quickly turned indifferent, as if everyone had deliberately kept a distance from him.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun gave Xiang Nan a meaningful look and cleared his throat.
Everyone knew that w.a.n.g Xiaoyun was going to speak, and the scene fell into absolute silence.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun smiled and said, "If it weren't for my strong recommendation, how could we, Chihuo Sect, have fallen for such a remote corner of Greencloud City?"
"And this time, Chihuo Sect only gave me five spots, so I hope that the young geniuses of each clan can work hard."
Everyone nodded respectfully.
"Young Master w.a.n.g is right. We will do our best to live up to the expectations of the Chihuo Sect ."
"Yes, we will not let you down. On behalf of Bluestone City, I would like to thank you for your kindness."
As the representative of the Chihuo Sect , w.a.n.g Xiaoyun had become a local emperor.
At this moment, City Lord Hong Zhen looked at Xiang Nan indifferently with a look of sympathy and helplessness in his eyes.
"Young Master w.a.n.g, I heard that Chihuo Sect's status is extraordinary. He is only inferior to the power of the eight great sects."
"That's right, Young Master w.a.n.g. To be able to enter the Chihuo Sect is truly the glory of our entire Bluestone City."
"Can you talk about the situation of the Chihuo Sect so that we can broaden our horizons?"
Everyone asked, but the question they were asking was clearly to curry favor with w.a.n.g Xiaoyun.
As for the young people who were preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the selection of Martial City, they treated w.a.n.g Xiaoyun as if he was wors.h.i.+pping an idol.
"Haha." w.a.n.g Xiaoyun smiled and said, "The reason I was able to enter the Chihuo Sect is partly because of my outstanding martial arts talent, and partly because I cultivated hard."
"I always remember one thing, that is, you can't be too ostentatious. You have to learn to be humble."
When the women heard w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's words, their eyes flickered with bright little stars. They admired w.a.n.g Xiaoyun very much.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's words were obviously a side attack on Xiang Nan, mocking him for being "arrogant and domineering" in the selection of Martial Town.
"Xiang Nan, you are one of the most outstanding young men in our Bluestone Town. Do you think what I said makes sense?" w.a.n.g Xiaoyun suddenly asked Xiang Nan.
This question exceeded everyone's expectations. No one expected w.a.n.g Xiaoyun to directly point the spear at Xiang Nan at the celebration banquet.
Everyone's gaze s.h.i.+fted to Xiang Nan.
In the entire celebration banquet, everyone was standing and listening to w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's speech, but Xiang Nan was the only one sitting in his seat.
Xiang Nan's actions caused everyone to frown, believing that Xiang Nan was too arrogant.
Xiang Nan's voice was loud and clear as he said, "Our Xiang Clan was too low-key and couldn't bear to suppress our rival clans. That's why they ended up in such a miserable situation."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. They all thought that Xiang Nan would lower his head to w.a.n.g Xiaoyun. At the very least, he should be more polite, right?
Who knew that not only did Xiang Nan not bow his head, he was actually fighting with w.a.n.g Xiaoyun!
These words had already made w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's expression unsightly.
Then, Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Also, keeping a low profile and being humble? That's the behavior of the weak. Sometimes, it's not our choice to keep a high profile, but because our opponent is too incompetent."
"Oh?" w.a.n.g Xiaoyun's face was gloomy as he slowly played with the finger ring in his hand and said, "You're too arrogant to say that."
"You think you're the most outstanding person? Even so, do you dare to compete with other geniuses on the spot?"
"Haha." Xiang Nan smiled faintly and said, "Your w.a.n.g Clan really doesn't forget to suppress our Xiang Clan at all times. Do you want me to make a fool of myself in public?"
"However, that's good. I've fulfilled your wish. If you have any ability, just take it out."
"Right, right, right." The city lord hurriedly came out to make things right, saying, "Since you want to compete, then naturally you will have to compete in martial comprehension. I have collected some very good cultivation techniques over the years. How about letting the outstanding geniuses on the scene learn them on the spot?"
