44 Invitation of the Summit, Part One (2/2)

Right at the moment when the two were discussing their skills, a voice broke in.

“Haha, little sister Yufei, I was going to spar with you, but you weren’t home. So this is where you were?”

A young man’s voice sounded, it was casual and calm. On the garden wall now stood a youth in gold robes around seventeen-some years of age, looking down at Zhao Yufei.

Zhao Linlong!

Zhao Feng’s eyebrows drew together. This was his home and Zhao Linlong came in without his permission. Furthermore, he was looking down on them, literally and metaphorically, by standing on top of the wall.

“Big brother Linlong,” Zhao Yufei smiled and observed the usual etiquette. After all, he was the top inner disciple and was the head of the sect’s step son. “Brother Linlong came again to spar with me?”

Zhao Yufei was expressionless. Zhao Linlong had come to visit her countless times under the name of sparring. Every time she saw him, Zhao Yufei could feel the fire inside Zhao Linlong’s eyes, which made her feel uneasy.

“That’s right, I hope sister Yufei won’t reject me.” Zhao Linlong’s words contained absolute confidence.

He didn’t step into the garden, only standing on the wall. From the moment he came in, he hadn’t even looked at Zhao Feng once.

“Thanks for your care, but brother Feng has just sparred with me,” Zhao Yufei smiled as she rejected him.

To spar with the genius of the Zhao sect was the dream of countless female disciples of the sect.

But Zhao Yufei didn’t like Zhao Linlong at all. Zhao Linlong had an aura of loneliness and superiority, as if it was the other person’s pleasure to be allowed to love him.

This was the complete opposite of Zhao Feng, who like her came from a branch sect and their sparring and communication came naturally. There wasn’t any pressure at all.

“Him?” Zhao Linlong ‘finally’ realized that Zhao Feng existed.

After glancing at Zhao Feng once, Zhao Linlong smiled, but didn’t greet him. It was obvious that he was disdainful of him.

“That’s fine. Today I came to find sister Yufei for one other thing.” Zhao Linlong shrugged his shoulders.

“Please explain.”

“This thing…I want to speak to Yufei privately.” Zhao Linlong glanced casually at Zhao Feng.

“Brother Feng, I’ll leave first,” Zhao Yufei said apologetically.

The two walked out side by side.

“Could it be that Zhao Linlong is chasing after Yufei…?” Zhao Feng finally realized something.

_On the other side of the wall..._

Zhao Linlong took Zhao Yufei to a slightly remote area.

“Yufei, in half a month’s time, the Sun Feather City’s yearly Genius Summit will begin. The host is the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, Qiu Mengyu. At that time, all of the clans, sect, factions, and families’ geniuses will be invited.” Zhao Linlong paused.

Genius Summit! Most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City?

Zhao Yufei’s eye’s flashed, surprised and expectant. Zhao Yufei had heard of the Genius Summit. This was an event for all the geniuses of Sun Feather City to come and spar with one another.

The four great geniuses of Sun Feather City would also be decided there.

“This is the most important event for the youths of Sun Feather City! Being the top Zhao disciple, I can recommend five people to join.” Zhao Linlong’s lips curled into a smile.

“Oh? Genius Summit? I really want to experience it.” Zhao Yufei was very interested in joining. “Oh yes, who are you recommending?” Zhao Yufei asked urgently.

“There’s Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, Zhao Qin, Zhao Ling…” Zhao Linlong didn’t hide anything.

“Wait! Why isn’t brother Zhao Feng coming? He came in third!” Zhao Yufei interjected.

“Zhao Feng?” Zhao Linlong said casually, “He’s just a branch disciple and he didn’t even have the courage to challenge me. There’s no point in taking someone like that to the Genius Summit.”

“But brother Feng’s strength is still there…” Zhao Yufei felt that this was unfair.

“Hehe, it’s ok, Yufei. I feel that I’ll be able to reach the sixth rank soon and I’ll become the head of the four great geniuses. Therefore, it doesn’t matter who I choose, the point is that you’ll be there with me, to witness my glory…” Speaking up this point, Zhao Linlong’s eyes turned hot and his hand couldn’t help but reach towards Zhao Yufei’s shoulders.

“Zhao Linlong! Please behave yourself!” Zhao Yufei’s face turned cold as she blocked Zhao Linlong’s hand.

“I have never forced anyone into something they don’t want. But Yufei, you’ve got to believe me that no one will stop me from doing anything to the woman I love. And unless you want to turn old by yourself…”
