Chapter 152: Miao Wenlun Showing Off

On the square, disciples from every peak stood packed together in neat, orderly rows; a single glance revealed no fewer than a thousand people.

Most of them were at the late stage of Qi Refining, and quite a few had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

Yu Changsheng had just arrived when he saw Miao Wenlun in the crowd waving at him.

"Yu Xiong, here, here — Yushou Peak is right here."

Yu Changsheng froze for a moment, then walked toward Miao Wenlun; looking closely, he saw that the area around Miao Wenlun was mostly filled with Yushou Peak disciples, and Sun Shihan was also beside Miao Wenlun — upon seeing Yu Changsheng, she let out a cold hum and turned her head away.

Seeing Yu Changsheng approach, the other Yushou Peak disciples consciously made way for him, greeting him with a trace of reverence.

"Senior Brother Yu."

………

Yu Changsheng smiled and nodded in response.

Perhaps most of these people had entered the sect earlier than Yu Changsheng, but in the cultivation world one is addressed by cultivation base — calling Yu Changsheng Senior Brother was perfectly fine.

After all, ever since the Beast Taming Competition, Yu Changsheng had already been secretly regarded as the number one Outer Sect Disciple of Yushou Peak.

"I knew you would definitely take part in this Inner Disciple Trial as well."

Miao Wenlun chuckled.

"Just treating it as tempering — whether I pass or not doesn't matter." Yu Changsheng smiled modestly.

"Tempering?" Miao Wenlun looked at Yu Changsheng with a strange expression, shook his head, clearly not believing it. "Since you've come, you're definitely aiming to pass; with your strength, the possibility of passing is still very high."

Yu Changsheng shrugged. "Depends on luck — the Inner Disciple Trial is so strict, the elimination rate so high; I'll take it one step at a time."

"Alright then," Miao Wenlun nodded. "Anyway, if we run into each other then, let's support each other — we're all Yushou Peak disciples, unity is good."

"After all, for so many years, every year our Yushou Peak has had the fewest people enter the Inner Sect, sometimes even zero; if we have no one enter again this time, that will be four consecutive years without a Yushou Peak disciple advancing — hard to avoid being laughed at by disciples of other peaks."

Finishing his words, Miao Wenlun looked at Sun Shihan beside him; Sun Shihan nodded, acknowledging Miao Wenlun's words.

"Good." Yu Changsheng looked up and glanced at Miao Wenlun and Sun Shihan, thinking of his Qiyao Pavilion opening — these two fools had contributed quite a lot of spirit stones.

In a cheerful mood, Yu Changsheng's expression was gentle, and he agreed in one breath.

And Miao Wenlun continued earnestly: "You roughly know our Yushou Peak's situation, Yu Xiong — one could say this time you almost represent half our peak's face; you must work hard."

Sun Shihan stood silently to the side, just quietly watching Yu Changsheng; a strange color flashed through her eyes.

She always felt that Yu Changsheng gave her a familiar feeling…

But she couldn't say where the familiarity lay; feeling depressed, a thought moved her, and Sun Shihan simply summoned the Nine-Colored Silver Fox — the little thing lay on her shoulder, nine fluffy tails swishing back and forth, rubbing affectionately against Sun Shihan.

It had been a while since they met; one could see Sun Shihan still liked the little thing very much, and the little thing trusted Sun Shihan deeply — although there was no Contract, under her careful nurturing its cultivation had reached First Rank Seventh Layer; clearly it had been fed no small amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Yu Changsheng's peripheral vision caught Sun Shihan reaching out to tease the Nine-Colored Silver Fox; watching this scene, his heart suddenly jumped violently.

And just at that moment, the Nine-Colored Silver Fox also saw Yu Changsheng — one person, one beast, gazes meeting briefly in midair.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" Seeing Yu Changsheng, the Nine-Colored Silver Fox instantly grew excited, jumping up and down on Sun Shihan's shoulder, chattering away — if it weren't a bit reluctant to leave Sun Shihan, it would probably have already leapt onto Yu Changsheng.

The little thing knew clearly — it was Yu Changsheng who let it grow those proud tails, changing its destiny.

Yu Changsheng's heart jumped violently again; inwardly wailing, he hurriedly blinked at the little thing: "Don't make a scene!"

At the same time, his Divine Sense condensed into a soundless thread, transmitting silently into the Nine-Colored Silver Fox's mind — muttering a string of reminders; the Nine-Colored Silver Fox seemed to half-understand, nodding its head.

"What are you doing?"

Sun Shihan looked at Yu Changsheng with suspicion, then at the restless Nine-Colored Silver Fox, frowning slightly.

"Why suddenly so excited?" Sun Shihan was puzzled, but still gently soothed the Nine-Colored Silver Fox, lightly stroking its fur.

The Nine-Colored Silver Fox squeaked twice, returning to a well-behaved state, lying quietly on Sun Shihan's shoulder.

"Maybe I just attract small animals." Yu Changsheng laughed heartily, taking the lead to chat with Sun Shihan while simultaneously changing the subject.

"Senior Sister Sun's Spirit Pet is truly cute — nine tails? Could it be related to the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Finishing his words, Yu Changsheng seemed unable to restrain his fondness, reaching out to stroke the Nine-Colored Silver Fox's little head — the latter cooperated with an expression of enjoyment.

"What Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline — it's just a Nine-Tailed Mutant Silver Fox cultivated by who-knows-what-method."

Sun Shihan shook her head; although she said that, her eyes looking at the Nine-Colored Silver Fox were still full of affection, without any disdain or disgust.

"You've found a good Master." Yu Changsheng felt a faint joy for the Nine-Colored Silver Fox in his heart.

"It's not quite like that," at this moment Miao Wenlun suddenly leaned in mysteriously. "This Spirit Beast — it wasn't produced by an ordinary person; it came from the hands of a Golden Core True Person — there's definitely something special about it."

"Golden Core True Person? That's truly remarkable!" Yu Changsheng exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes — that Qiyao Pavilion that suddenly rose in Yu Fang Market some time ago, you know it, right? The one presiding over it is a Golden Core True Person!"

Miao Wenlun sighed with emotion, his words filled with reverence and longing for that Golden Core True Person he had never met, continuing: "I think that Senior is probably also a Beast Tamer — a Spirit Beast from him, how could it be anything but excellent?"

"Mm-hmm." Yu Changsheng agreed wholeheartedly with Miao Wenlun's words.

"When the next Qiyao Pavilion auction starts, I'll notify you in advance — then I'll show you the strange beasts inside; I'm sure you'll be tempted."

Miao Wenlun put his arm around Yu Changsheng's shoulder, patting his chest and promising solemnly.

"Good, then many thanks Senior Brother Miao — willing to take me to broaden my horizons."

Yu Changsheng hurriedly nodded; the strange feeling in his heart grew stronger, but fortunately he could suppress it, not revealing the slightest trace of anything amiss on his face.

"Not only did your Senior Sister Sun buy a Nine-Colored Silver Fox — I also managed to buy a rare Nine-Colored Chicken King, said to contain a trace of Nine Heavens Phoenix bloodline!"

"Although I know that possibility is very small, this Nine-Colored Chicken King is very unique — later I'll let you see it with your own eyes!"

Miao Wenlun spoke in high spirits, with a touch of pride.
