While I was chatting with Zhang Wenfei, a tall and skinny young man in the front row suddenly walked in front of Han Wennan from the Qinling Han group and said with an arrogant expression, "Han Wennan, it's time for us to settle the matter between us.
During the Young Phoenix Gathering, the one who opens the least meridians will withdraw. What do you think? "
I couldn't help but look at them. These two were just like Xu Shuxing and Zhang Wenfei. It was obvious that they had a grudge against each other and were using the Young Phoenix Gathering as a wager.
At this moment, Zhang Wenfei squeezed out two words with an unfriendly face. "Dog biting dog."
I turned to look at him suspiciously. It was normal for this guy to have a grudge against someone like Xu Shuxing. After all, they were from the Guangdong branch. However, they were worlds apart. Why did he have a grudge against Han Wennan, a member of the Qinling Han family?
Before I could open my mouth to ask, Han Wennan spoke first. He coldly glanced at the tall and thin young man without any expression on his face. It was as if he was looking at an idiot. His mouth moved slightly before he spat out one word, "Scram."
I was stunned. This guy looked honest and slow. I didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
The tall and slender young man had walked over from the seats of the Beijing branch in Zone B. It was obvious that he wasn't an ordinary person, but Han Wennan didn't give him any face.
The tall and slender young man went crazy. His face was ashen. He pointed at Han Wennan and shouted angrily, "Han Wennan, don't be too arrogant. After the Young Phoenix Gathering, let's see if you still have the right to be arrogant!
I'm telling you, Ye Pianpian belongs to me, Lu Zhenyang. You should give up on her! "
After that, he angrily returned to his seat.
I finally understood. No wonder Zhang Wenfei had called them dog biting dog. He was jealous of Ye Pianpian.
After Lu Zhenyang left, Han Wennan, who had been silent all this while, turned his head to look at Zhang Kunlun, who was not far from him. Although he did not say anything, anyone could tell what Han Wennan meant. In his eyes, only Zhang Kunlun was his opponent.
The hall quieted down. The other members of the Metaphysics Association stared at Han Wennan. Zhang Wenfei forced a smile and said to me, "Brother Zhou, last night you asked me to pursue Ye Pianpian. It's not that I didn't want to do it, but look at who my competitors are. Han Wennan claimed that Ye Pianpian was hers three years ago. Although Ye Pianpian beat him up, he was from the Qinling Han family. Since he said that, he couldn't be joking. Now, the members of the Metaphysics Association think that they're a couple."
"There's also Lu Zhenyang, a member of the Lu family in the capital. Although the Lu family isn't favored by the other Fengshui families, the Lu family in the capital is the number one Fengshui family.
But even so, Lu Zhenyang only dared to use the Young Phoenix Gathering as a bet to snatch a chance from Han Wennan … Why should I have those unrealistic fantasies? "
Up until now, Zhang Wenfei had always been either arrogant or heartless when he faced others. This was the first time I had seen his face filled with bitterness and helplessness, as well as depression.
His words also made me feel sad.
So what if the Guangdong branch won two championships?
This world is too big. Those true geniuses have probably never even glanced at us.
Just like now, Zhang Wenfei and I were sitting behind them, talking about them, but they didn't even look back. They didn't even know our names.
After a moment of silence, a white-haired, black-robed old man suddenly walked into the hall. Then, the entire hall quieted down, and everyone obediently sat in their seats.
At first, I didn't know who he was. After he smiled and introduced himself, I knew that he was the current President of the Metaphysics Union, Gu Lilai.
President Gu didn't have an oppressive aura, but he had an indescribable dignity. That was why when he entered the hall, many people quieted down, even though they didn't know him.
Yang Shilong and Ye Pianpian were the Vice Presidents. They had reached the peak of Geomasters. What about President Gu? Was he a Celestial Master?
I looked at him and tried my best to see something different about him. However, I couldn't get what I wanted.
Then, President Gu briefly announced the procedure.
The True Dragon Vein would open tomorrow. At that time, different Metaphysics branches would enter in a certain order.
To determine the order, there would be a ranking competition. That was what was going to happen today.
The True Dragon Vein would only open once every three years. After three years of accumulation, the dragon energy in the True Dragon Vein would be extremely dense. The first batch to enter would definitely have a huge advantage.
As more and more Fengshui Masters entered, the dragon energy would gradually become fainter. Although it wouldn't become fainter by too much, it was a crucial period for Fengshui Masters. The slightest difference could result in a completely different outcome. No one was willing to take that risk.
That was why there was this ranking competition. It was to let the top Fengshui Masters from each branch stand together and compete with their strength to determine the final order.
Zhang Wenfei had already told me about this yesterday. However, I didn't pay much attention to it. On one hand, I didn't really care about the order of entry. It didn't matter if I was the last to enter.
On the other hand, it was because this ranking competition was actually meaningless. The first few places would definitely be taken by the branches in Area A and B, while the last few places would be much weaker. There was no chance for them to advance. That was why the ranking competition was hastily decided based on the order of the Metaphysics Society.
In the previous nine ranking competitions, there had only been five fights, barely more than half of them. Moreover, most of them were in the first few competitions. In the last three competitions, everyone had given up on two of them.
However, according to Zhang Wenfei's prediction, there would be a fight this time. It had nothing to do with who was the last. It was only related to Han Wennan, Zhang Kunlun, Lu Zhenyang and the others. They were all prodigies of their generation. They would definitely fight for the first place.
Although I didn't pay much attention to it before, I suddenly had an idea.
In terms of strength, everyone was still in the Dragon Luring realm. I was at the peak of the Dragon Luring realm. I didn't believe that I would be weaker than anyone.
Han Wennan and the others had never looked back, but what if I defeated them and led the Guangdong branch to be the first to enter the True Dragon Vein?
Would they be standing behind me and looking up at my back at that moment?
As I thought about it, my heart beat violently and I made my decision.
Soon, President Gu gave a simple explanation and left the rostrum. He was replaced by another middle-aged Fengshui Master, who walked up to the rostrum with a smile and said, "The ranking competition can start now. Those who are willing to fight for a high position, please come to the rostrum together later.
Also, those who don't wish to participate, I will explain the rules.
Each branch will now have a ranking based on their seats. For those who are not participating, their seats will be the current temporary ranking. Those who are willing to participate can challenge the branch in front of them. As long as they win, they will take over the loser's position, and the other branches' positions will be pushed back.
Does everyone understand? "
Everyone nodded to show that they understood the rules.
Afterwards, it was time for those who were willing to participate to go up the platform. I hesitated for a moment before clenching my teeth and preparing to stand up.
However, at that moment, Zhang Wenfei, who was sitting next to me, pulled me back.
"Zhou Yi, I know that you don't care about this ranking, so I want to fight in your place. What do you think?"
I was stunned. It was possible to let someone else fight in the champion's place. After all, most of the time, the strongest person wouldn't necessarily be the champion of the Dragon Seizing Competition. In order to obtain a good ranking in the ranking competition, it was necessary to send out the strongest person. Thus, although the ranking competition was nominally for the champion, it was actually for the strongest person of each branch.
Before I could reply, Zhang Wenfei said, "Han Wennan and the others will definitely have to compete in this competition. I know my talent. If I miss today, I'm afraid that I won't even have the chance to stand on the same stage as them. This is my last chance.
I know that I definitely won't be able to compete with Ye Pianpian, but no matter what, I still want to compete with them. Otherwise, I won't be satisfied. "
