Chapter 1660 - 1472: Temper

Moreover, because every time the Buried Immortal Secret Realm opens, members of the young generation from top forces listed on the Heaven Stepping List, except for a few transcending geniuses, all participate, so gradually a sort of competition formed.

By now, the Secret Realm Competition of the Buried Immortal Secret Realm has become very mature.

Furthermore, due to the existence of the Buried Immortal Secret Realm, gradually, a city formed around the Secret Realm, namely the Mai Xian City.

The City Lord of Mai Xian City is, of course, not simple.

Each time the Secret Realm opens a few hours before, the City Lord of Mai Xian City customarily invites these participants and their clansmen, protectors, and others to a banquet, both as a welcome and as a way to wish all participants good results.

"Shiyan, you walk on my left." The group had originally left the mansion, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion. Since the distance wasn’t far, walking was fine, but after just a few steps, Xuan Jingping stopped and called to Xuan Shiyang, who was quite behind them.

As it is said, out of habit, when the group came out earlier, leading them was Xuan Jingping, then to Xuan Jingping’s right was Yue Yan, and on the left were Xuan Chuqing, Luo Ningning, and Ye Tian.

"Yes." Xuan Shiyang quickly stepped forward, apologizing to Xuan Chuqing and Luo Ningning: "I’m sorry."

"Hmph, fake pretender." Luo Ningning snorted with disdain. Others might not see through Xuan Shiyang, but she could. She thoroughly disliked this woman for being too fake, too pretentious. In the Xuan Family, Xuan Shiyang habitually caused trouble, and once she finished causing trouble, she would pretend to be innocent, clueless. A master of disguise and deception, she had tried to frame her sister and herself numerous times but was thwarted by her sister each time. Hmph.

Xuan Chuqing pulled Luo Ningning aside to make way.

Deep in Xuan Shiyang’s eyes was a triumphant smile.

Satisfying.

"Ye Tian, I’m sorry, my Seventh Aunt is just like this." Xuan Chuqing apologized softly to Ye Tian: "I made you suffer."

"It’s nothing; it’s you who’s suffered. In fact, if you chose Mr. Yue, things would be completely different. Why insist on me?" Ye Tian was a bit curious.

Normally, she chose him as a partner because there weren’t better options.

But with Yue Yan’s appearance, he would certainly be considered the better choice, after all, Xuan Chuqing did not know at which level Ye Tian’s strength had surged while on the road.

Yet, Xuan Chuqing still insisted.

Very strange.

"You’ve taken elixirs that harm your Martial Arts Foundation just for me, forcing a breakthrough. I can’t let your effort go to waste, can I?" Xuan Chuqing whispered: "Ye Tian, rest assured, once inside the Buried Immortal Secret Realm, we have a chance to obtain some top-notch Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures to make up for your Martial Arts Foundation. If not, I’ll take you to my brother."

"What? I forced a breakthrough? Damaged my Martial Arts Foundation?" Ye Tian was speechless: "It was a natural breakthrough."

"Ye Tian, you can’t fool me. I know everything." Xuan Chuqing’s beautiful eyes flashed with emotion, thinking Ye Tian was being naïve but charmingly so.

Xuan Chuqing was imagining things.

Ye Tian was speechless.

He didn’t bother to explain.

Anyway, once they entered the Secret Realm and a battle broke out, he’d show his strength for her to understand.

No rush.

"Big scoundrel, my sister for you... you’d better be nice to her, or even if you become my brother-in-law, I won’t let you off, hmph." At this moment, Luo Ningning suddenly glared at Ye Tian, baring her teeth and claws.

She felt that her sister was so insistent on teaming up with Ye Tian.

There could only be one reason—she had fallen in love with Ye Tian.

Mhm.

She thought she heard someone say that love makes people blind.

It turned out to be true.

Love is truly a terrifying thing.

"Ning’er, don’t talk nonsense." Xuan Chuqing felt exasperated and gave Luo Ningning a reproachful look.

Meanwhile.

They had arrived.

The City Lord’s Mansion had arrived.

Coincidentally, another group arrived almost at the same time as Xuan Jingping’s group, meeting at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion. This group also consisted of about ten people, led by an old man with a white beard, and next to him was a man and a woman, who looked like a participating pair.

"Xuan Jingping, are you leading the team? It seems the Xuan Family really values this Secret Realm Competition!" The old man with the white beard greeted with a smile.

And the woman among the young pair standing by the old man lit up when she saw Xuan Chuqing, saying excitedly: "Chuqing, congratulations! With Mr. Yue Yan as your partner, you’re sure to get into the top ten in this Secret Realm Competition. It’s been the talk everywhere, they say your partner this time is Mr. Yue Yan from Taihua Cave Heaven, and many people didn’t believe it. Hehe, now see how they’ll react when we enter the City Lord’s Mansion?!"

She seemed very familiar with Xuan Chuqing and genuinely happy for her.

But her words made those from the Xuan Family’s complexion change, mostly awkwardly.

"Sister Xu, please stop." Luo Ningning was about to cry and spoke up. It turns out, the woman was named Xu Xu, a top-level genius of the Xu family’s direct lineage, the youngest daughter of the Xu Family Master, and also one of Xuan Chuqing’s few close friends. Luo Ningning was also familiar as they had played together from childhood.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing the strange expressions the Xuan Family wore when looking at her, Xu Xu was puzzled and didn’t quite understand.

Luo Ningning had to move next to Xu Xu to quietly whisper to her.
