CHAPTER 1062: CHAPTER 1059: SIKONG WUMING

"You definitely don’t know, the Qingniao is something I deliberately placed there. The real treasure has long been hidden by me!"

Gai let out a mischievous smile, no longer sad, and continued to study the ancient character.

In fact, he had expected Ye Xuan to take the Qingniao.

Or rather, this was part of the trade between him and Ye Xuan.

It’s just that both of them have their own personalities and dislike straightforward transactions.

Especially for them who know each other well, that would be too dull.

Let’s not talk about Gai and Emperor Ye.

Let’s talk about Zhou Youwei.

......

In front of the Heavenly Gate of Suyun Palace, Zhou Youwei briefly separated from Emperor Ye.

Under the guidance of the stern youth Chu Chen, Zhou Youwei and Qiankun Ancestor wandered around the Supreme Pavilion.

"Miss Zhou, this is our Supreme Pavilion’s Little Tiandoo. Usually, the brothers and sisters of our Supreme Pavilion cultivate there."

Chu Chen acted as a guide for Zhou Youwei, introducing the surrounding buildings.

It was a Divine Palace built in mid-air, called Little Tiandoo.

Upon learning that Zhou Youwei was a direct disciple of the Sovereign of Immortal King Hall, Chu Chen wanted to display the Supreme Pavilion’s excellence, so he introduced without holding back.

"And to enter Little Tiandoo, at least the Heavenly Saint Realm is required, which has always been our Supreme Pavilion’s rule."

"Speaking of which, for our Supreme Pavilion, the minimum threshold is to achieve the Heavenly God Body at the age of fifteen."

As Chu Chen spoke, he smiled at Zhou Youwei and clasped his hands, saying, "Miss Zhou, how does your Immortal King Hall accept disciples?"

Naturally, Chu Chen’s words carried a hint of competitiveness.

Of course, this competitiveness was not hostile but due to the relationship between Supreme Pavilion and Immortal King Hall.

It could be seen as a friendly competition.

Zhou Youwei, being very intelligent, naturally understood the implication in Chu Chen’s words and smiled slightly, "Dao brother, to be honest, although I am taught by the Sovereign of Immortal King Hall, I have been cultivating at Emperor Immortal Sect, so I don’t know the specific system of Immortal King Hall."

Chu Chen couldn’t help but be surprised: "Miss Zhou didn’t cultivate at Immortal King Palace?"

Soon after, Chu Chen was surprised again: "Emperor Immortal Sect, could it be the Emperor Immortal Sect that returned to Zhongxuan Mountain in East Desolate months ago?"

Zhou Youwei slightly nodded and softly said, "Yes."

Chu Chen was momentarily dazed, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

But soon after, Chu Chen spoke sincerely: "I wonder what realm Miss Zhou’s cultivation has reached now?"

"Hmm?"

Just as Chu Chen finished his question, he suddenly noticed a young man emerging from Little Tiandoo.

With a stride covering dozens of meters.

Seeing the young man, Chu Chen was startled and hurried to greet him, "Chu Chen greets Brother Sikong."

The young man glanced at Chu Chen, stopped his steps, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment, "Chu Chen, junior brother, why are you not cultivating in Little Tiandoo today?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen replied honestly, "By the old ancestor’s decree, I came to pick someone up."

"Oh?"

The young man seemed interested, shifted his gaze, and rested it upon Zhou Youwei and Qiankun Ancestor.

Upon seeing Qiankun Ancestor, he was taken aback.

"Is it him?"

The young man’s mind involuntarily conjured up the scene in Empty Ancient City.

Fang Xinyan and Ye Xuan confronting each other with swords.

And at that time, he watched the battle while standing on the city walls.

Therefore, he also saw Qiankun Ancestor behind Ye Xuan.

Now seeing Qiankun Ancestor here, he was quite surprised.

He first took an extra look at Qiankun Ancestor, then his gaze fell on Zhou Youwei, his eyes brightening.

However, feeling that staring at someone like this would be impolite, he looked at Chu Chen and said, "Could it be this senior and this young lady?"

Chu Chen nodded, then shook his head, finally saying somewhat awkwardly, "Senior brother, the gentleman invited by the old ancestor has gone to Suyun Palace. This Qiankun senior and Miss Zhou are distinguished guests accompanying that gentleman."

"That’s right."

"Miss Zhou is a direct disciple of the Sovereign of Immortal King Hall."

Chu Chen remembered something and spoke to the young man with some excitement.

The young man reacted with visible surprise.

"Qiankun senior, Miss Zhou, this is my senior brother, also the chief disciple of our generation at Supreme Pavilion, Sikong Wuming."

Chu Chen took the initiative to introduce both sides.

Qiankun Ancestor glanced at the young man and said nothing. Naturally, he recognized that this person was the young man from the city walls in Empty Ancient City.

At that time, his master and Xinyan sister had a sword confrontation in front of the city gates; this young man, alongside a middle-aged man and an elder named Master Wei, watched the battle from the city walls.

In fact, he knew the identities of these three back then; they were all from the Supreme Pavilion.

"We meet again." The young Sikong Wuming smiled slightly, addressing Qiankun Ancestor.

Qiankun Ancestor slightly nodded in greeting.

This made Chu Chen a bit taken aback; Qiankun senior had met Brother Sikong?

But upon reflection, it made sense; after all, Brother Sikong was the chief disciple of their generation and was a key focus for cultivation by the Supreme Pavilion, often accompanied by Master Wei—meeting such a senior was quite normal.

Sikong Wuming had no intention of speaking much with Qiankun Ancestor; he faced Zhou Youwei, clasped his hands and smiled, "I am Sikong Wuming, greetings to Miss Zhou."

Compared to his demeanor toward Qiankun Ancestor, Sikong Wuming was more courteous toward Zhou Youwei.

Seeing this, Qiankun Ancestor couldn’t help but curl his lip, showing some disdain.

He found this guy rather displeasing; if it weren’t for the fact that this was the Supreme Pavilion, he’d indeed want to slap this fly away.

What did his master say about this guy?

Perhaps it’s something like, this guy looks just like Zhao Yulong, who might have Zhao Yulong-like maneuvers.

Zhou Youwei, with her keen perception, naturally noticed Sikong Wuming’s change in attitude and replied in a nonchalant manner, "Youwei greets Dao brother."

Sikong Wuming naturally perceived Zhou Youwei’s attitude, smiling serenely, "Then I won’t disturb Miss Zhou and senior’s leisure. Until next time."

Sikong Wuming then turned to Chu Chen, saying, "Chu Chen, junior brother, take good care of the two and don’t neglect them."

With that, Sikong Wuming nodded to Zhou Youwei and Qiankun Ancestor as a gesture of farewell and then departed.

"We respectfully see you off, senior brother," Chu Chen said respectfully.

After Sikong Wuming had gone a distance, Chu Chen straightened up, still showing an expression of admiration, "Brother Sikong is not only handsome but has a great temperament. Most importantly, his strength is formidable; truly a role model for us."

"Is that so?" Qiankun Ancestor sneered.

Chu Chen, somewhat puzzled, glanced back; did Qiankun senior harbor some disdain?

Chu Chen shook his head, dismissing the thought, then turned to Zhou Youwei and said, "Miss Zhou, shall we head to Cloud Rubbing Cliff now?"

"Okay," Zhou Youwei slightly nodded.

The three of them continued their stroll.

But from afar, Sikong Wuming stood on a pavilion, watching the trio leave, his expression indifferent yet a glint of brilliance sparkled in his eyes.

"A direct disciple of the Sovereign of Immortal King Hall..."

"Interesting."
