Chapter 710 Lord Xuan Yuan Invites (Part 3)

Jin Yuntang can lose, but he cannot lose to Ji Wujiang!

And the person with the best mood due to this sentence was none other than Xuanyuan Ye.

"Hehe... these two jugs of wine aren’t bad either." Xuanyuan Ye looked at the two jugs of wine beside the table.

Those two jugs were the wine that Ji Wujiang and Jin Yuntang previously asked the waiter to send to Xuanyuan Ye.

Clearly, Xuanyuan Ye wasn’t referring to the wine, but to the two first-class spiritual treasures in the bet.

The Shun Kingdom exited the Confucius Temple early, and the Qin Kingdom’s youngsters encountered trouble. Moreover, the temple priest from Hanmo Confucius Temple had been consulted earlier, so there’s almost no suspense in this bet.

...

Confucius Temple, Book Wall Space.

The test time was about to end.

Three elites from the Celestial Veil Kingdom hurriedly arrived at the groove and sequentially input their answers.

However, none were able to trigger the groove to emit golden light, which meant their test had failed.

"Time is almost up."

Chu Ming looked at the book wall in front of him, feeling a bit regretful as he walked to the groove.

Thousands of books, and he hadn’t even seen thirty percent of them; whether he’ll have the chance to encounter more remains unknown.

Just as he reached the groove, the three elites from the Celestial Veil Kingdom who had just submitted wrong answers cast disdainful gazes at him.

Even if you’ve gotten the first two answers right, you still end up like us, submitting randomly at the last moment and failing the test.

Lingx Long from the Lingwu Kingdom, who had already answered the three major questions correctly, looked at Chu Ming with bright eyes.

As for Vermilion Bird Universe from the Vermilion Bird Marquis’ Mansion, his arms crossed and chin elevated, he didn’t even bother to look.

He had already answered, and was the first to do so, so the subsequent results were irrelevant.

Chu Ming naturally didn’t pay attention to their gazes, he casually injected some spiritual power into the groove.

Swish—

As the time limit was near, golden light burst forth.

The three elites from Celestial Veil Kingdom widened their eyes in disbelief.

Lingx Long’s eyes remained bright, showing a bit of surprise when the golden light shone.

Vermilion Bird Universe was momentarily stunned, then returned to his light arrogance.

What of it if you answered? In this test, he was first.

Just as the golden light shot upwards, the scenery before them began turning illusory.

The book wall, as if turning into a real wall, had books falling from it like bricks detached from the wall.

When the book wall fully dissipated, the space vanished, and the group awoke in the courtyard.

"The third test is over, those who did not pass, please leave on your own."

The authoritative voice still echoed in the sky above the courtyard.

The three elites from Celestial Veil Kingdom grudgingly exited the Confucius Temple.

Swish, swish, swish—

Outside the Confucius Temple, countless gazes focused upon them.

"Only three people came out."

"Those three, they seem to be... elites from Celestial Curtain City..."

Only three people?

The King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar was shocked, quickly looking around, but no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find the figure he wished to see.

Ji Wujiang also looked anxiously, and indeed he didn’t see Chu Ming, allowing him to finally relax.

Seeing the situation, Jin Yuntang’s carefully maintained balance was instantly washed away by fury.

Xuanyuan Ye lightly furrowed his brow, glanced around then withdrew his gaze, heart spirit communicating with the Communication Treasure.

"Uncle Ten, has the test ended?"

He knew the test was over, yet it didn’t seem to align with what was said before...

"Yes, it’s over."

Soon, the Communication Treasure lit up.

"How many passed?" Xuanyuan Ye asked again.

"Three, one from Vermilion Bird Marquis’ Mansion, one from Lingwu Kingdom, and one from Qin Kingdom... Wait, you’re acting odd, never seen you so concerned before?"

"..."

Xuanyuan Ye didn’t reply, and the Hanqiong Jade Wine that had initially pleased him seemed not so tasty now.

Uncle Ten is always so unreliable...

He took a gulp of wine, then got up and walked between Ji Wujiang and Jin Yuntang.

The King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar’s heart was filled with joy, thinking a good announcement was imminent, yet even as the important figure walked past him, he didn’t hear the words he wished for.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the results are in, it’s time to fulfill the bet."

Bet? What bet?

The King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar was a bit confused.

"Prince Ye..." Jin Yuntang still held some expectation.

"I’ve said, the results are out, the youngster from Qin Kingdom succeeded in passing the Confucius Temple test, and will enter for cultivation."

Xuanyuan Ye at the early stage of the Sixth Realm showed no fear of Jin Yuntang.

Qin Kingdom’s Chu Ming passed the test?!

The King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar was also shocked, but only momentarily, quickly returning to normal.

After all, it’s just entering the Confucius Temple for cultivation, he was noticed by one of the strongest families in Celestial Veil Kingdom’s Xuanyuan!

Jin Yuntang’s forehead veins throbbed violently, his Qi Blood boiling within.

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, he took out a First-class Spiritual Treasure, then turned to leave in anger.

But after a few steps, he stopped, glaring coldly at the expectant King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar.

"Come with me!" he nearly snarled.

Go?

The King of Shun’s Confucian Scholar stood still, unmoving.

He was noticed by Lord Xuanyuan, and certainly wouldn’t return to Shun Kingdom.

"I won’t forget the King’s nurturing!" The Confucian Scholar said earnestly, cupping his hands, then looked at Xuanyuan Ye.

The implication was he wouldn’t leave.

"You! Idiot!"

In an instant, a terrifying pressure rippled from Jin Yuntang.

"Hehe, youngster, you should return with your king." Xuanyuan Ye looked at the Confucian Scholar’s foolish demeanor, no longer feeling the anger from losing the bet.

The real drama today wasn’t the bet, but this youth from Shun Kingdom.

Everyone in the inn murmured mockingly.

The Confucian Scholar was not truly dull, quite the opposite, being chosen by Jin Yuntang of the National Guardian Realm, and brought to Celestial Veil Kingdom, his thoughts and wisdom far surpassed others.

However, being expelled from the Confucius Temple from the start, harboring resentment, then invited by Lord Xuanyuan, feeling surprised — the immense emotional swings momentarily clouded his judgment.
