Chapter 428 - 428 427 Tea Garden Martial Meeting

428: Chapter 427 Tea Garden Martial Meeting 428: Chapter 427 Tea Garden Martial Meeting At this moment, Qingfeng Tea Garden was already teeming with people, a scene of extraordinary liveliness.

All you could see were young martial artists.

These individuals had vigorous Qi-Blood and powerful cultivation, all above the Spirit Merging Realm.

Such strength, in Xia Country, would be on the level of elders in a sect.

It had to be said that the martial arts of Dragon Star Country were indeed very strong.

Early this morning, Lin Xuan followed Yun Duo out of the house.

The two were headed for the Qingfeng Tea Garden.

Along the way, Yun Duo was excited, repeatedly muttering the name “Duan Wuqing.”

This made Lin Xuan somewhat curious, “Who is Duan Wuqing?”

“Hmph!

If you don’t even know who Duan Wuqing is, then why are you even attending the Tea Garden Meeting?” Yun Duo huffed.

“Listen up, Duan Wuqing is a son of the Duan Family, born into prominence.”

“He is also one of the hosts for this Tea Garden Competition, my most idolized idol!” Yun Duo’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

So that was it, a disciple from one of the Four Great Families, a host for the tea meeting; his status must indeed be very high.

“If I manage to defeat him, I should be able to make a name for myself in Desolate Flame City, right?” Lin Xuan thought.

The fastest way to become famous was to challenge a well-known martial artist.

And this Duan Wuqing was one of the best targets.

A smile appeared on Lin Xuan’s lips as he began to look forward to the Tea Garden Meeting.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s smile, Yun Duo sniffed disdainfully, “Hmph!

Country bumpkin, Mr.

Duan could defeat you with just one finger!”

“Also, although I don’t know why Lord Iron Hand let you attend the Tea Garden Meeting, I still feel the need to warn you.”

“This Tea Garden Meeting is gathering many talented individuals.

You should just go to broaden your horizons; don’t you dare start a fight and embarrass Big Banner Sect!”

With that, she no longer paid attention to Lin Xuan and hastened her steps.

Lin Xuan shook his head, following behind her with an air of calm and composure.

…

“Miss, please wait.

Do you have an invitation?” At the entrance to the Tea Garden Meeting, two richly dressed young men asked with a smile.

The Tea Garden Meeting had very high standards, not just anyone could attend.

These two were responsible for turning away anyone trying to sneak in.

Yun Duo produced an invitation and handed it over.

“It turns out the young lady is from Big Banner Sect, please, come right in!” Their smiles turned very friendly towards her.

Yun Duo, like a proud little princess, walked into the tea garden with her head held high.

At this moment, a voice called out from behind, “Sir, your invitation please?”

Lin Xuan, finding himself in a bind, touched his nose and then said, “I’m with her.”

He gestured towards Yun Duo.

“With her?” The young man’s face showed a skeptical expression, looking quite disbelieving.

This was understandable, as the other guests were dressed in fine clothes, representatives of wealth and status.

What was Yun Duo wearing?

That was made of precious materials from demon beasts!

Those carried a certain degree of defense!

And there was Lin Xuan, in his plain cotton clothes.

How could he possibly be with her?

“Boy, this is the Tea Garden Meeting, I’d advise you not to cause any trouble here!” The two men scoffed coldly.

“Trouble?” Lin Xuan had a look of displeasure—these people really had a low regard for others!

Yun Duo, hearing the quarrel, turned her head back and let out a sigh, “Let him in.”

The two young men were briefly startled and reluctantly gave way.

“How could a pauper like him have anything to do with Big Banner?”

“I’d wager he’s most likely a servant.”

Two people whispered to each other, unanimously believing Lin Xuan was just a servant of Cloud Map.

“Alright, now that you’re in the Tea Garden, the rest is up to you to see.”

“I’m going to find my sisters to play with, no fighting allowed, and head straight back after you’re done!”

After laying out these rules, Yun Duo hurriedly ran off.

Lin Xuan found a pavilion, preparing to conserve energy and accumulate strength.

In the pavilion were exquisite pastries and Spiritual Wine for the young Martial Artists to enjoy.

After he sat down, he began to discreetly size up these Martial Artists.

He then clicked his tongue in amazement.

These Martial Artists were all at the Spirit Merging Realm, with the majority being at the Middle-stage Fusion Spirit Realm, and there were quite a few Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artists as well.

Perhaps Yun Duo had forbidden him from starting any fights because being at the Middle-stage Fusion Spirit Realm really wasn’t anything special here.

“No wonder they’re considered the geniuses of the young generation; so many young experts!” Lin Xuan was amazed.

You have to understand, these are merely the talents from one county, and Dragon Star Country consists of eight counties.

Moreover, the core disciples from the Top Sects wouldn’t even attend such a gathering, at least Lin Xuan hadn’t seen any disciples from the Big Banner Sect participating.

“I wonder what level the top young experts from Dragon Star Country can reach?”

With this thought, a surge of fervor bubbled up within him.

It so happened that Lin Xuan was also just eighteen years old, having only recently joined the ranks of the youth.

Although he appeared composed, he too possessed a fiery and combative heart.

To battle unparalleled geniuses, to comprehend the supreme Martial Arts!

This is the goal that every Martial Artist pursued with all their might.

However, it was at this moment that a very discordant voice rang out.

“I’m so tired, big brother, I need to rest.

I want to sit there!” a whiny voice sounded.

“Alright, alright, little sister, as you wish.”

Following that, a young man approached Lin Xuan and coldly barked, “You, get lost!”

Lin Xuan frowned and turned around, only to see a man and a woman standing behind him, dressed in brocaded garments and wearing luxurious accessories, evidently the progeny of high-status families.

The two carried an air of arrogance, looking down at Lin Xuan filled with disdain.

“A bumpkin actually got in here?

What are those gatekeepers even doing!” the glamorous woman scoffed.

“Kid, I’m in a good mood, so hurry up and get lost.

This isn’t a place for you to sit!” the young man said very arrogantly.

Lin Xuan was not one to start trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either.

There he was, sitting peaceably, when he was suddenly threatened and looked down upon for no reason at all.

How could he not be angry?

He snorted coldly in response, “Apologize, or you’ll face the consequences.”

“You’re threatening me?” the young man sneered, “Do you know who I am, asking me to apologize to someone like you, a mere servant?”

“You’re asking for it!”

“Get lost, or I’ll slap you to death!”

“For a nobody like you, no one would care even if you died.” The glamorous woman beside him also sneered, “Big brother, why waste words with him?

Just slap him dead.”

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, “Do I look like I’m easily bullied?

Are you not afraid of biting off more than you can chew?”

“Bite off more than we can chew?” The young man burst into arrogant laughter, “In Tianhuang County, aside from the Star Sea Sect and the Duan Family, there’s really no one that the Yanling Sect fears!”

“And you consider yourself worthy of the word ‘ironclad’?”

“Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm, that’s your capital for arrogance?” Lin Xuan scoffed.

“I won’t be leaving; if you want to fight, you can give it a try.” After saying that, he ignored the two and slowly savored the Spiritual Wine.

“Who is this kid?

Isn’t he too arrogant?”

The rest in the pavilion all started looking over, recognizing the newcomer as Luo Yang from the Yanling Sect.

“I heard he’s one of the top young experts in the Yanling Sect, having reached the Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm at just twenty years old.”

“Yes, it’s said his comprehension abilities are very high, with a great potential to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm.”

“Rumor has it he’s exchanged blows with Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists and managed to hold his ground for dozens of moves without defeat!”
