The visitors from the Immortal Gate had been given accommodations of no low standard.
They were all staying within the Main Peak's bounds now.
As one of the three team leaders, Xiang Feiyue naturally had some of the best accommodations.
Spiritual qi wreathed his courtyard. Ordinary cultivators could achieve twice the results with half the effort cultivating here.
But to those who had become Immortals or were about to, it meant little.
It was not that spiritual qi was useless to them, but that this amount was of little use.
Xiang Feiyue looked about thirty. Sitting in a tall chair, he leaned back, mockery in his eyes. "Shangguan Zheng is a real hypocrite. All that talk about treating everyone equally-isn't that just ignoring the variables an exceptional genius can introduce?
"He hopes he's an exceptional genius himself, yet also hopes that even if he isn't a genius, he can go farther than one.
"He wants to stand atop the highest peak, yet also be flowing water that never races to lead.
"Put simply, he thinks geniuses aren't humble enough. At least, not humble enough before him.
"To actually shut Jiang Man out over something like this-jealousy has truly blinded him.
"I thought the plan could proceed as usual. Who knew his jealousy would throw it straight into disarray?"
Their plan required Jiang Man to enter the Secret Realm.
Normally, with Jiang Man's talent and abilities, he would certainly be sent into the Secret Realm.
A genius put to good use could make the road inside much easier.
Yet they had run into someone as fiercely jealous as Shangguan Zheng.
He had thrown their plan straight into disarray.
Now they had no choice but to remedy it.
"Since Shangguan Zheng doesn't want him, should we change one of our allotted participants?"
