Chapter 419

~9 min read 1,635 words

Decided: No doubt.

In the entire seventy-two-person name-calling, these four words only appeared twice.

"Decided" already represented basic agreement, and "Barely okay" was a non-committal way of saying it. After all, the true superiority still had to be decided on the Jade Sword Terrace tomorrow and the day after.

Therefore, for many people, even if the Compilation Meeting agreed to give this seat, it would still give the attitude of "Decided: Barely okay," because there was no benefit in setting things in stone, and it was completely unnecessary.

Just as Qu Xin said, these four words represented "without a doubt."

—Without a doubt, the name "Seeing Pei Ye" should be ranked in this position, listed in the first column of the Jade Sword Golden Scroll.

When people were laughing at the seventy-second place, they never thought these four words would fall on the first place.

From the Crane-Perching Terrace to the entire Sword Terrace, the whole field was silent. The clear name-calling was upright and powerful, without the slightest lack of confidence, and the lingering sound still echoed in the sky.

When Qi Qi Mengchen's name appeared in eighth place, some people keenly discovered that a dark horse had broken into the top eight. They looked at each other with smiles, looking forward to it with interest, and knowledgeable people put forward a few names like "Ji Ji Zhuowu."

But when Zuo Sheng appeared in fifth place, they frowned in confusion. Angry and confused emotions began to appear on the field. Many people thought this was an inside story, that the imperial court was forcibly stuffing their people in, and that this was a mockery of the Sword Selection Meeting!

When the name-calling of Su Su Xingke and Cui Zide followed, the field almost evolved into an uncontrollable uproar, and even the calmest people frowned tightly at this time.

But when Xiang Zhang Zongyuan settled in second place, everything was quiet instead.

There was no such inside story.

If there was, it was the most absurd provocation.

Everyone was listening blankly, and that incomparably unfamiliar name descended on the top of the Sword Register so unquestioningly.

The Compilation Meeting observed the group of heroes and decided without doubt. He was the first sword talent of Shaolong, seventeen years old. His name is Seeing Pei Ye.

After the unimaginable silence, the most intense noise rose on the field—surprise, confusion, and more were the urgent questions that erupted in an instant.

And on the Crane-Perching Terrace, silence still covered the whole field.

Su Su Xingke stood expressionless in front of the railing, and finger marks had been pinched into the wooden strip.

No one spoke. Two months ago, they knew who their opponents would be, because looking at the entire Shaolong, there were only a few people standing at the same height as them. Two or three days ago, they came here with confidence, and until just now, they were still fighting each other.

Precisely because they were each excellent enough, they never feared head-on competition, and they would never bow to others.

However, this name wasn't even on the Crane-Perching Terrace.

Finally, Xiang Zhang Zongyuan recovered his calm first. He raised his hand and poured another cup of tea. On the other side, Nan Nan Guannu opened her mouth softly, but there was no smile on the corner of her mouth anymore: "Does anyone here know... this champion?"

No one spoke. Several people didn't even turn their heads. Bai Fei shook his head blankly.

Yan Yan Bingjian drank a mouthful of wine: "Don't know the sect, don't know the background, don't know the master... don't even know the gender."

Bai Fei was surprised: "Could it be a girl?"

Qi Qi Mengchen was silent for a moment: "'Looking back, the matter is already decided, please watch the group of heroes'... it's not a judgment of the sword path at all."

Xiang Zhang Zongyuan lowered his eyes and poured tea: "Since the Compilation Meeting is 'No doubt,' then this Seeing Pei Ye must have enough 'No doubt' places. I look forward to hearing the legend of this mysterious boy in the next two days."

Just at this moment, that clear voice spread across the entire field again: "The above is the seventy-two sword talents recorded in the 'Shaolong Sword Path Golden Register.' The ranking is the ranking of the Compilation Meeting before entering the Jade Sword Terrace, and it is also the base version for tomorrow's compilation."

"Tomorrow at the Chen hour, please all talents go to the Jade Sword Terrace to compile the Golden Scroll together for two days. The specific rules and invitations have been distributed to your respective lodgings. Additionally: Young Master Seeing Pei Ye is temporarily seriously injured and will go to the Jade Sword Terrace to test his sword before the completion of the scroll the day after tomorrow to determine the top three rankings."

"Sincere thanks to all, for participating in this grand event. Now that I know Shaolong's talents are flying, the prosperity of the sword path is just around the corner."

"."

Amidst the uproar like a sea tide, the Crane-Perching Terrace fell into a condensed silence again. Cui Zide suddenly smiled coldly: "So, our Shaolong also has a 'true Qilin child'? —Sixth Life Realm?"

No one answered, and he stood up with his sword and went downstairs.

Su Su Xingke still stood expressionless by the railing, whispering: "Seventeen..."

Now it was the You hour of the day, and the sun was falling to the west. From now on, countless people would search with all their might for the reputation and deeds of this seventeen-year-old boy, and then in the similar-but-not-quite news, touch some mysterious and taboo high walls.

————

Seeing Pei Ye was completely stupid.

The two syllables "Seeing Pei Ye" were so loud, and the two ink characters were so clear. He turned his head blankly, and Qu Xin was also tilting her head looking at him, saying flatly: "Congratulations."

"."

Seeing Pei Ye turned his head back, only then realizing that all this was happening for real.

He remembered Inspector Sui saying "I want to make people recognize you first," and also remembered Cheng Cheng Yuanqi's exhortation "You might have to go down tomorrow," but he had never thought it would be in this way.

He thought he could take a ride on the Sword Selection Meeting, show his face, make friends, and spar... naturally, that would be considered being recognized.

Because the Sword Selection Meeting had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.

This was a grand event prepared by the Shaolong Prefecture and the entire jianghu for two months. Countless jianghu people flocked to the prefecture to watch the ceremony. It also had the strictest selection and regulations. Large sword sects like the Pearl Water Pavilion and Luoying Mountain wanted to meet Cheng Cheng Yuanqi, perhaps just to ask some questions, but were all seriously rejected.

Now, this huge and complicated grand event finally passed two months and welcomed its result, and then Inspector Sui said... you are naturally the first.

So this was the true fame spreading in Shaolong.

Seeing Pei Ye turned his head in indescribable surging, only to see an old man with white beard and cold face standing behind him. It was Gao Gao Feigong who had followed all the way from Great Kongdong.

Seeing Pei Ye hurriedly stood up: ". Commander Gao, why are you here?"

Gao Gao Feigong smiled slightly: "Entrusted by the Governor, I have been secretly protecting Young Master Pei."

". Ah!"

"I just received a message from the Governor. He will arrive at the Medicine Tower at the Hai hour to meet with you," Gao Gao Feigong said, holding a soft fine silk cloak in his hand. "The name-calling is over. If you want to return now, we can set off."

Seeing Pei Ye didn't enter the pavilion, but went straight down the Sword-Placing Tower from the dedicated corridor. When he stepped out of the door, the mixed voices of pedestrians came as no surprise.

". Yeah, who recognizes him? I've never even heard of it..."

"Only seventeen..."

"My heart is itching to death. I don't know who it is?"

". I don't believe he really surpassed Cui, Xiang, and Su! Have you seen his sword? What kind of number one is a Sixth Life Realm who hides his head and shows his tail!"

". Quick, quick, quick, go to Du Du Wuniang's place and see if there is any news about this young genius. I'm willing to buy it for five taels of silver!"

Seeing Pei Ye raised his hand to pull his hood, but suddenly his gaze shifted, and he was startled to see the group from the Feiyan Sword Gate leaning there under the eaves beside the building.

The young girl named Ren Zixin was clearly injured in the previous match, with her left arm bandaged, sitting on the ground with red eyes, while the others gave the only shade to her.

Ren Ren Zixin clearly didn't expect anyone to come out of this solid and restrained small door. She raised her head and was startled to see the boy who had been sitting on a stool under the tea house.

The white clothes and boots were gone, beside him was another cold and beautiful young girl, and the white-bearded old man following behind him had an aura like a mountain. The golden sun revealed the edges of the boy's chin. He nodded to signal, then turned and walked toward the divine carriage.

The soft cloak turned with the wind. Ren Ren Zixin recognized this material that she didn't dare to ask her father for—【Jiaoxiao Black】, which only produced five zhang a day, and one chi cost twenty taels of silver.
