Of course Bai Yuxia would not go looking for Jiang Wang.
What would he use to challenge Jiang Wang?
The record of First Inner Palace in History still hung there, bright and undeniable.
Among all Inner Palace cultivators in The Present World, no one had yet surpassed it.
And now Jiang Wang had already charged into Divine Presence, been made a marquis for military merit, and stepped out of the circle of "young prodigies" to compete against powerhouses of every age.
You, Bai Yuxia, could not even claim the title of "strongest prodigy of Yue Kingdom's younger generation." What right did you have to challenge him at his door?
But Xiang Qian actually knew Jiang Wang, and they even seemed quite familiar with each other.
In that case, losing to someone like this at the same realm did not seem so hard to accept... Birds of a feather flock together; if he could get along so well with Jiang Wang, it was perfectly reasonable for him to be stronger.
After thinking it over, Bai Yuxia found himself a branch as well and lay down upon it with a clear conscience.
He had not yet realized that, before meeting Xiang Qian, he would never have entertained such thoughts, much less admitted that his "loss had been reasonable."
Yet everything had happened so subtly, without his noticing.
When a "striver" traveled alongside a "corpse-lounger," it was like two tigers locked in combat—one side was bound to influence the other. The only question was whether the east wind would overpower the west wind, or the west wind overpower the east.
But at a time like this, simply lying there and thinking of nothing at all—
Stars and moon deep into the night, insects chirping on the evening breeze.
It really was quite blissful.
