Someone Like That Was Never Within My Reach to Begin With

The person next to him nudged him gently with their elbow and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Wen, aren't you excited?"

Wen Rong slowly shook his head and said, "The Beast Taming Assembly is in two days. I need to work even harder in my cultivation. Such figures are not people I could normally come into contact with."

The man frowned slightly, then patted Wen Rong heavily on the shoulder. "Why is all you can think about is the Beast Taming Assembly? You're a genius of our Beast Taming Sect, how can you be so sure you can't participate?"

Wen Rong said seriously, "Relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. Even if you can make contact, you may not be able to soar to great heights, and you might even risk your life."

The man sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Your indifferent nature... I really don't know what to say."

Day 2

Beast Taming Sect Master Hall

Lu Chong looked at the boy in front of him with complicated emotions.

The young man was tall and slender, dressed in white that was as pure as snow, with a handsome face, and exuded an invisible pressure.

Lu Chong sighed inwardly. At such a young age, his strength was already so unfathomable; it was truly astonishing.

"Have you told me my purpose in the Lower Realm?"

Lu Chong quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, I have. Are you looking for Wen Rong now?"

Nan Xunran nodded slightly.

Lu Chong quickly turned around and said urgently to the woman beside him, "Ru'er, quickly go and invite Wen Rong to the main hall."

Nan Xunran waved his hand gently and said, "No need, I will go myself, there's no need to inform him beforehand."

He secretly pondered to himself that it would be a good opportunity to see what kind of character this cousin possessed. If he was no different from those so-called Child of Destiny, there would be no need to bring him back to the Nan Clan.

Lu Chong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and replied, "Alright, Ru'er, you lead the way for the master."

Lu Ru obediently replied, "Yes."

She lowered her head slightly, and the moment her eyes met Lu Chong's, Lu Chong gave her a subtle look.

Lu Ru understood immediately, nodded secretly, and made a silent vow to make sure the adults remembered her.

Nan Xunran up, his figure tall and slender, while Lu Ru followed closely beside him, leading the way.

Lu Ru's heart pounded with nervousness, and her mouth opened slightly several times, but she didn't know what to say.

Nan Xunran seemed to sense her unease, turned to look at her, and said calmly, "There's no need to be so nervous."

Lu Ru was taken aback at first, then quickly replied, "Ah... okay!"

Nan Xunran continued walking forward, and after a moment said, "Tell me about Wen Rong."

Lu Ru immediately replied, "Okay."

She continued, "Junior Brother Wen ranks very high in the sect and cultivates very diligently."

"Achieving the Divine Ability Realm at such a young age makes him the number one in the sect, hence Junior Brother Wen's reputation is very high."

Nan Xunran nodded slightly, thinking to himself: The spiritual energy in the Lower Realm is scarce, so for him to reach the Divine Ability Realm at this age, his talent is indeed quite good.

Just then, a hushed murmur arose from the side.

Did you see the cloud chariot this morning?

"I saw it! It's magnificent! I've never even seen a dragon before, and that lord is actually using a dragon to pull his carriage!"

"Who is that young man beside Senior Sister Lu?"

"I've never seen it before."

"They seem to have come from the main hall."

"My goodness, could this be a great figure from the Upper Realm?"

Hearing these comments, Lu Ru swept her sharp gaze over them, frowned slightly, and gestured for them to shut up.

Seeing this, everyone wisely dispersed, knowing it was best not to provoke this important person.

Lu Ru said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. Some of the disciples were far too presumptuous."

Nan Xunran replied calmly, "It's alright."

Before long, a house appeared in front of them.

Lu Ru bowed slightly and said respectfully, "My lord, this is the place. Junior Brother Wen is inside."

Nan Xunran nodded slightly and stepped inside.

Lu Ru stood guard outside the door with great discretion. She watched Nan Xunran's retreating figure as he entered, and as soon as she turned around, the disciples surrounded her again.

"Senior Sister Lu, is that the great one from the Upper Realm?" a disciple asked curiously.

Lu Ru nodded slightly.

"So young!" another disciple couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Ru's expression was serious as she lowered her voice and said, "This lord's cultivation level is extremely high. The pressure I felt from him was even stronger than from my father."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Their cultivation levels were too low to sense Nan Xunran's cultivation realm at all. Now, after hearing Lu Ru's words, they were filled with lingering fear.

They secretly rejoiced; had that lord had been angry, their entire sect would likely have been in trouble.

Inside the house

Wen Rong was cultivating in peace when she suddenly sensed a large, chaotic aura outside the door.

He frowned, puzzled as to why all these people were gathered outside his house.

He was about to get up to investigate when he suddenly felt an unprecedentedly powerful sense of oppression. His eyes widened in astonishment.

Just then, Nan Xunran slowly stepped into the house.
