”This commoner knows my fault. Your Highness, Seventh Prince, please let me go.” Waving his hand, Zhou Tong licked his lips and smiled. Zhou Tong's intentions for coming here, could not be clearer to Zhou Tong.
”Ai, I knew that you wouldn't come with me.” Sighing lightly, Xue Yang couldn't help but shake his head, ”I understand the difference between an immortal and mortal world, but Cloud Dynasty still needs a strong cultivator to support it. If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but since royal father has already started to pay attention to you, if you are interested, tell me, I will help you make the introductions.”
”Thank you, Big Brother, for taking care of me. However, I don't think I will have such thoughts in the near future.” Zhou Tong pursed his lips and laughed. Regarding the matters of the Imperial Family, Zhou Tong did not want to get involved at all.
”Also, it's not far ahead. I think my brother will be waiting for you there. If you're not interested, you can speak up. With your current abilities, even if it's you, your brother won't make things difficult for you.” Xue Yang patted Zhou Tong's shoulders and reminded him softly, ”Alright, I'll be leaving first. In the near future, I probably won't be able to return to the sect.
Waving his hand, Xue Yang turned and left.
”Brother Zhou Tong, why don't we have lunch together?”
Xue Yang had just walked a short distance when a voice sounded from the other side. He turned his head and saw a youth who looked somewhat similar to Xue Yang, welcoming him with a face full of smiles.
”May I know which prince this is?” Sighing lightly, Zhou Tong cupped his hands and said, needless to say, this person was Xue Yang's elder brother.
”I am Xue Yang's second brother, Xue Jing. Today, seeing Brother Zhou Tong's abilities, I was actually shocked and wanted to become friends with you.” Xue Jing also cupped his hands together and replied towards Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong swept a glance over the Second Prince. With a few simple sentences and a few movements, he could see that this person was not ordinary. Although his cultivation was not outstanding, his every word and remark gave off a calm and magnanimous feeling.
”There's no need to eat, I still need to return to the sect to report. Second Prince, please forgive me.” Shaking his head, Zhou Tong pulled Yue Qingyao and was about to leave. Xue Yang's friendship with him, whatever it was, it would be fine.
”Then, I shall not keep my brother here anymore. Take care, we'll meet again if fate wills it.” Seeing that Zhou Tong had no intention to stay, Xue Jing lightly nodded his head, nodded and laughed, then made a gesture of 'please'.
Although Xue Jing had been a prince for many years, he didn't know the path of cultivation, he was extremely clear that these cultivators weren't easy to recruit. If he offended them, even a dynasty would find it difficult to take revenge on him.
”I hope we are destined to meet again.” After watching Zhou Tong leave, Xue Jing muttered this phrase with both of his hands behind his back, then turned around and left.
Immediately after, the curtain closed on Star Gauze Sword Sect's competition, and Canglong Mountain, Dreamy Cloud Pavilion and Violet Firmament Palace also went on stage, completing the first day's show. Other than Star Gauze Sword Sect, who only had two participants, the other three great sects had brought along teams of no less than ten people. Of course, in the first day of the competition, the three great sects had only one or two contestants. After all, the contestants in the first round were too weak …
During the entire day of the competition, a total of thirty-two matches had taken place. The teams that had come to participate in this competition had already eliminated a large number of wild chicken sects on the first day. Of course, even if they were the disciples of these wild chicken sects, they would still be recruited countless times when they leave. After all, they were cultivators, even if they had Qi Refinement Realm s, they were still cultivators.
According to Zhou Tong's expectations, such a boring competition would at least need to last two or three rounds before the disciples of the Four Major Sects would have the chance to meet again. After all, by leaving behind such anticipation, the audience was willing to pay up to watch one match after another.
But this time, Zhou Tong's predictions were wrong. It was just the drawing of lots for the second day of the competition, and Star Gauze Sword Sect had drawn the most immortal books and manuals out of the so-called Four Major Sects, which were also the places where cultivators originated from.
In the evening, at Zhou Tong's residence.
”Zhou Tong, what are your thoughts on tomorrow's Dreamy Cloud Pavilion match?” Taoist Master Xing Luo moved a chair and sat by the side of the table, he asked Zhou Tong while drinking tea.
”Speaking of which, I think all of the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion s are cultivators that use spells, right?” Zhou Tong held a stalk of grass in his mouth that seemed to have been brought from god knows where, and a little disapproval could be seen on his face.
”Indeed, getting the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion should be the best news for us. ”I know that you have mastered the Broken Magic Sword Technique, but tomorrow, the requirement I give you is to win six consecutive rounds and then stop. Also, as long as possible, do not reveal too many things.” Taoist Master Xing Luo said as he took a sip of his tea.
”Master, do you mean you want horses to run again and horses to not graze?” Zhou Tong rolled his eyes. Towards such a request, other than helplessness, Zhou Tong had no other emotions.
”Maybe if you want to fight alone against a group, just one match is fine. There are ten people in the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion, if you win six out of the ten, we can consider it your victory. Of course, a dozen six, you know. ”
”Sect Head, I understand. You can just make trouble now. There will be a day when I will be tired to death.” With a loud puffing sound, Zhou Tong leaned on the chair with his head raised up, and started moaning and crying.
