“Senior Brother, look over there. They seem quite pretty.”
“I don’t need you to remind me. I saw them the moment they came in.”
“What don’t we go over?”
“What’s the hurry? Can’t you see that someone has already gone over?
“I know those people. They are from the Phoenix Spring Sect. We can’t afford to offend them.”
…
At this moment, the few Phoenix Spring Sect disciples had already arrived in front of Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping.
The man in the lead was rather handsome. He wore snow-white clothes and had long black hair. The sword in his hand exuded sharpness.
“I’m Song Youjing from the Phoenix Spring Sect. It’s my honor to meet you two fairies here.” The man smiled and bowed with his sword raised.
Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping glanced at him subconsciously.
Gu Mengyao quickly retracted her gaze, her expression unchanged.
Lu Yiping shook her head at Gu Mengyao with a contemptuous expression.
Other than bringing Gu Mengyao here to relax, her other goal was to help her find a high-quality man.
From Lu Yiping’s expression, Song Youjing of the Phoenix Spring Sect clearly did not meet the standards.
However, Song Youjing was very confident in himself.
Even though his cultivation level was only in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, he had only cultivated for a hundred years.
He was very confident that he would reach the Mahayana realm in 300 years.
In the Changping realm, reaching the Mahayana realm in less than 300 years was rare.
Although they could not compare to the geniuses on the Chosen Roll, they were still considered extraordinary geniuses in the Changping realm.
In addition, he was handsome and had a top-grade treasured sword in his hand. No girl would reject him.
In the Phoenix Spring Sect, Song Youjing was an influential figure. He had a lot of followers, and the female disciples who were chasing him could form a queue several kilometers long.
However, he looked down on the female disciples in the sect. Compared to the two in front of him, they were worlds apart.
Song Youjing didn’t think much of their indifference.
They were beauties! It was normal for them to be aloof.
It would be even more fulfilling to successfully woo such aloof women.
Song Youjing continued to smile and asked politely, “Fairies, can you tell me your names?”
Lu Yiping ignored him.
They could find a bunch of males like him in their own sect. Look at how proud he is.
Gu Mengyao had encountered such situations too many times and knew how to deal with them.
If she ignored those, who tried to strike up a conversation, those with extreme personalities might cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, one could not use cold violence against such people.
Gu Mengyao said, “My surname is Gu, and hers is Lu.”
She did not give names.
Song Youjing immediately bowed again.
“Oh! So it’s Miss Gu and Miss Lu. Nice to meet you.”
“Miss Gu, is there anyone else sitting here?” Song Youjing pointed at the empty seat opposite them.
It was a table for four. Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping sat on next to each other. There were only the two of them, so two seats were naturally empty.
Gu Mengyao smiled faintly and said, “I’m sorry, there’s already someone else.”
“Oh! So there’s someone else!”
Song Youjing was stunned. He instinctively laughed awkwardly to ease the awkwardness.
At this moment, a loud laugh came from nearby.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a burly man with dark skin.
The man was full of muscles. Although he was wearing a long robe, his muscular body made the robe look like a tight suit.
When Song Youjing saw this man, his expression changed, and his gaze was filled with disgust.
They probably knew each other and weren’t on good terms.
“Niu Hua, what are you doing here?” Song Youjing asked coldly.
Niu Hua crossed his arms and snorted. “Do I need to report to you that I’m here?”
He came in front of Song Youjing and looked down at him with a disdainful smile.
Niu Hua was more than two meters tall, and Song Youjing only reached his shoulders.
The difference in size between the two was huge.
Niu Hua was from the Baohua Sect. Like Song Youjing, he had also cultivated for more than a hundred years.
The difference between the two of them was that Niu Hua cultivated his physical body and was an out-and-out body cultivator.
Song Youjing was a famous sword cultivator.
Body cultivators were a minority in all cultivation systems, while sword cultivators were the majority.
Both had their own strengths.
Originally, the body cultivation system was on the verge of elimination.
This was because its cultivation methods were too arduous, and the results were very slow. With the same amount of time and effort, it was far behind other cultivation professions.
As a result, fewer and fewer people cultivated the physical body, and many body cultivators gave up.
However, an impressive person suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
That person beat up all the geniuses in the Immortal realm with his bare hands and finally obtained the Immortal Emperor title.
This Immortal Emperor was Immortal Emperor Zhenwu.
He cultivated his physical body and was also a famous body cultivator.
From then on, the body cultivation system that had disappeared in history welcomed a second coming.
In a single night, the number of people practicing body cultivation increased exponentially.
Although it was still not as large as other cultivation systems, it was much larger than before.
All body cultivators dreamed of reaching the level of Immortal Emperor Zhenwu.
Niu Hua was one of them.
In the Changping realm, body cultivation was not prevalent. There were much fewer body cultivators than in other realm.
Niu Hua was an outstanding body cultivator in the Changping realm.
Even though he had only cultivated for a hundred years and was only in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, in a recent battle, he had tied with a person at the peak of the Mahayana realm.
Such combat strength was incredible in the Changping realm.
Song Youjing had fought him before.
He was defeated.
He was completely defeated, without any ability to fight back.
However, Song Youjing refused to admit it.
He said that he had not adjusted his condition well that day and performed below normal standards. He suggested that he find a time to fight Niu Hua again.
Niu Hua directly refused.
If Song Youjing had some capabilities, Niu Hua might have agreed to fight him again.
However, since they had fought that day, he knew very well how lousy Song Youjing was.
Fighting with such a weak person did not pique his interest at all. It would be a waste of time, and it would not improve him at all.
That was why Niu Hua rejected him so decisively.
This made Song Youjing very angry.
His failure that day had embarrassed him in front of his junior brothers and sisters.
He had to get back at him.
But Niu Hua refused to compete with him anymore.
Thus, they formed a grudge.
“Niu Hua, since you’re here, we can settle our scores.” Song Youjing looked straight at Niu Hua, his aura exceptionally arrogant.
Niu Hua knew what Song Youjing was up to. He smiled and said, “With your current strength, you’re not qualified to challenge me.”
Hearing this, Song Youjing flew into a rage. His eyes flickered with anger as he looked straight at Niu Hua as if he had seen an irreconcilable enemy.
Niu Hua disagreed.
Now, he was different from before. The constant challenges had allowed his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
In the past, he had used 80% of it when he fought Song Youjing. Now, he could probably win using 60% of his strength.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Song Youjing, nor was he making wild guesses. Instead, it came from his confidence in his own strength.
Song Youjing was furious that Niu Hua was not taking him seriously.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were many people and two beauties present, he would have really started a fight with him.
At this moment, Niu Hua pushed Song Youjing away with his body and sat down in an empty seat opposite Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping.
“Fairies, I’m Niu Hua. Order whatever you want to eat. I’ll pay for it.”
Niu Hua was clearly much more thick-skinned than Song Youjing.
After all, body cultivators were all boorish people. It was normal for them to be thick-skinned.
At this moment, Song Youjing couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Niu Hua, you’re going too far.” Song Youjing roared angrily and pulled out the long sword at his waist.
His voice instantly spread throughout the entire restaurant.
For a time, the noisy restaurant fell silent.
Everyone looked over at the same time.
