The Xuanyuan Family's Number One
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu replied in a low voice:
"Changqing, his... his name is Xuanyuan Long!"
As she said this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's voice trembled slightly.
"Xuanyuan Long?"
"Is it that impressive?"
Chen Changqing muttered to himself with a nonchalant expression.
I originally thought that among the younger generation of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Ao of the Seventh Branch was the most powerful, possessing the strength of the Early Tribulation Transcendence.
But judging from the current situation, Xuanyuan Long, who has just arrived, seems to be even more talented than Xuanyuan Ao.
Seeing that Chen Changqing didn't seem to care, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu quickly pursed her lips and continued her introduction:
"This Xuanyuan Long is widely recognized as the number one young talent in the Xuanyuan Family!"
"Like Xuanyuan Lü, he is a member of the First Branch."
His cultivation has already reached the Tribulation Transcendence level.
"The key is..."
At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu paused slightly, then added:
His master was a true Immortal.
"I didn't expect him to come back to participate in the Family Annual Competition!"
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's words, Chen Changqing was surprised.
"Immortal Master?"
"Still alive?"
Chen Changqing asked in surprise, looking somewhat incredulous.
You should know that Immortals have long since disappeared from the Nine Provinces Continent.
According to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, Xuanyuan Long's master was actually a true Immortal who was still alive.
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu nodded slightly and murmured an "Mmm":
"Yes!"
"The master-disciple relationship between Immortals and immortals is something that others cannot compare to."
Chen Changqing neither confirmed nor denied what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said.
If we're talking about lineage, then he certainly can't compare to Xuanyuan Long.
After all, his master Chen Yuan, although the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, had only just Tribulation Transcendence stage, far from the realm of Immortals.
At the same time, under the Dragon Pillar directly north of the Ancestral Dragon Platform, Xuanyuan Ao's face suddenly darkened and became extremely ugly after seeing Xuanyuan Long.
"Hateful!"
"Why is Xuanyuan Long here?"
"Didn't Xuanyuan Lü participate in the First Branch?"
Xuanyuan Ao roared inwardly, filled with resentment.
Although he was also at the Bandit Cultivator level, he was somewhat inferior to the formidable Xuanyuan Long.
If Xuanyuan Long also participates in the competition, then his chances of winning here will be slim.
"Giggle!"
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Xuanyuan Ao felt, gritting his teeth in anger, yet he was helpless.
Meanwhile, when Xuanyuan Tian, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, saw Xuanyuan Long appear, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
"Long'er is back."
"In this Annual Competition, my First Branch should take first place!"
Xuanyuan Tian sighed inwardly, his heart filled with joy.
At this moment, all the other clansmen were shocked by Xuanyuan Long's return, and they whispered among themselves.
What's going on?
"Even Xuanyuan Long is back?"
"It seems he will also be attending this year's Annual Competition."
"Who can compare to this prodigy?"
"Strangeness!"
"This year's Family Annual Competition has not only changed its rules, but the rewards are also significantly more generous than before."
"But at this very moment, Xuanyuan Long has returned. I feel there's something fishy about this."
"Could it be that the clan leader is intentionally showing favoritism?"
"..."
For a moment, many members of the Xuanyuan Clan were whispering among themselves.
Just then, Xuanyuan Long glanced indifferently at everyone present.
Finally, his gaze sharpened and landed on the location of the Ninth Branch.
To be precise, it fell on Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.
The next moment, Xuanyuan Long gracefully descended like an immortal, arriving in front of Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.
"Greetings, Miss Yun."
Xuanyuan Long first bowed to Xuanyuan Yun.
Xuanyuan Yun smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Then, Xuanyuan Long turned his gaze and looked directly at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, speaking clearly:
"Cousin, it's been so long! You're even more beautiful than before."
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled somewhat distantly and replied:
"Cousin, you flatter me!"
"The Xiaoyu is still the same Xiaoyu."
Xuanyuan Long smiled faintly, only then noticing Chen Changqing standing next to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.
Upon seeing this, the smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by pure scrutiny.
That look in his eyes was as if a god were looking down upon mortal ants.
"Um?"
Seeing the way Xuanyuan Long was looking at him, Chen Changqing frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
Are all the prodigies of the Xuanyuan Clan so arrogant and conceited?
"Does having some ability make you think you're superior to others?"
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Long asked casually:
"Cousin, who is this?"
When Xuanyuan Long asked, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu didn't hide anything and answered directly:
"Cousin, this is my fiancé, Chen Changqing, from the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."
When she said the words "fiancé," Xuanyuan Xiaoyu emphasized them.
"Fiancé?"
As Xuanyuan Xiaoyu spoke, Xuanyuan Long was slightly surprised, his eyes twitched slightly, and his eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze focused on Chen Changqing again.
After scrutinizing Chen Changqing again, Xuanyuan Long scoffed, a haughty smile playing on his lips, and coldly snorted:
"A mere Nascent Spirit Transformation."
"You dare to?"
Xuanyuan Long's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
His expression was full of contempt and disdain.
He originally thought that Chen Changqing was just a top-ranked External Aids that Xuanyuan Xiaoyu had found, and that there was no other relationship between them.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's fiancé, which immediately aroused Xuanyuan Long's hostility towards Chen Changqing Qing.
In particular, seeing that Chen Changqing's cultivation was only at the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage, Xuanyuan Long looked down on Chen Changqing even more.
Seeing Xuanyuan Long mocking Chen Changqing like this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu suddenly stood in front of Chen Changqing, staring straight at Xuanyuan Long and questioning him:
"Cousin, what do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Long chuckled coldly and said:
"Cousin."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just think... this kid isn't good enough for you!"
Without waiting for Xuanyuan Long Xuanyuan Xiaoyu say anything more, Chen Changqing glared coldly at Chen Changqing and continued:
"Kid."
"If you want to marry my cousin Xiaoyu, your cultivation level is far from sufficient!"
"At least for now, you're not good enough for her!"
Xuanyuan Long showed no mercy to Chen Changqing, mocking him relentlessly with an arrogant expression, completely disregarding Chen Changqing.
In Xuanyuan Long's eyes, he was a Bandit Cultivator, the number one among the younger Xuanyuan Family, and his master was a true Immortal.
Although his master could only stay in a specific place due to certain restrictions, he was still Immortal being.
