A trace of disappointment flickered across Gongsun Tianfeng's face, but he soon composed himself again and bowed. "If my humble guess is correct, young master, you must be the Qin Family Divine Son whose name has been circulating through the Northern Frontier's army camps these past few days—a peerless prodigy from the flourishing world of cultivation, towering above the mortal dynasties."
"My respects to Young Master Qin, to His Excellency the Divine Son."
"This humble Gongsun Tianfeng pays his respects to His Excellency the Divine Son, to an esteemed senior master. I would never dare offend you in the slightest."
Gongsun Tianfeng's words immediately set off another wave of discussion around the arena. The martial artists of the Tannan Dynasty's Northern Frontier all wore expressions of profound astonishment, as though none of them could believe such a thing had happened.
A figure as mythical as those in the legends of thirty years ago, someone who belonged only in novels and storytellers' tales, had actually appeared before them in the flesh. It was truly unbelievable.
"So it really is true. The Qin Family Divine Son, blessed with heaven's own power—who could possibly match him?"
"Hahahaha! No wonder Villa Master Gongsun was so respectful just now. He wasn't seeking a dragon among men for a son-in-law, but a chance at immortal destiny rarely found beneath heaven.
"Besides, immortal destiny and marital destiny have always differed in rank and magnitude."
"Who beneath heaven could compare to an immortal like the Qin Family Divine Son? If I were Villa Master Gongsun, I'd be just as eager. Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
As the voices rang out, everyone's complicated gazes converged on Qin Jiuge.
Qin Jiuge shook his head and merely smiled. Paying no attention to anyone, he intended to continue along his planned route.
