Ranked tenth, Heavenly Mountain, [White Righteousness] Shang Yunning.
Earlier, Shi Zanxue had said she had reserved Pei Ye a seat among them. That was plainly special treatment from Heavenly Mountain. However great the boy's reputation in the Divine Capital was now, he had never entered the Teal List, after all.
Li Tishui nodded and committed it to memory. She really knew nothing about these current talents. Watching the fresh-faced youngsters compete seemed a rare sort of pleasure, too.
Qun Fei was very handsome. When Pei Ye had first heard the title [Young Master], he had assumed it belonged to a graceful gentleman, only later learning that its bearer was one of the Seven Jade Maidens. His clothing did indeed suit a young master better, though, with his handsome brows and sword-sharp eyes. Shi Zanxue, dressed in a skirt, occasionally came to the six seats to deliver wine and refreshments. One looking up and the other down as they exchanged a few smiling words, they really did resemble an immortal couple.
At this point, Su Xingke bowed to seek advice. Qun Fei composed his expression and cupped his fist. "You flatter me, True Disciple Su. All of you from Shaolong's Jade Sword Golden Register have honored Heavenly Mountain by attending this banquet, and Qun Fei is grateful. As for matters of the sword, I personally believe the two swords need not be divided as sharply as the Jing and Wei rivers. Yin lies within yang, not opposite it-True Disciple Su may take that as a reference."
His words were warm and courteous, leaving Su Xingke, who had plucked up his courage to ask, somewhat overwhelmed by the favor. He hurriedly bowed his thanks, then turned to Chen Quan.
Chen Quan's attitude was considerably colder. He nodded. "My reasoning is the same."
