C224 Frog at the bottom of the well
Three days ago, Feng Family created a divine dragon in the middle of the Long Peaks City. On top of the Battle stage were carvings, which were extremely lifelike and majestic.
It was just dawn, and a sea of people had already gathered around the stage. Countless people crowded around, and there were even many from outside the city to watch the competition between Long Peaks City's and great power's younger generation.
Although this competition was between the younger generation of the two great families, in reality, it was still a test of the great power's strength. After all, these younger generation would become the backbone of the two great families in the near future.
Because of this, all the different small and large forces in Long Peaks City rushed over to the divine dragon's vicinity, each of them occupying a different place, all with their own thoughts. The four great families had already been in the Long Peaks City for hundreds of years, and many of the hidden and obscure forces were all stirred up.
The Feng Family was in the middle of the sun, standing above the rest, so most people's eyes were naturally focused on the Meng Family.
After all, whether it was in history or history, the Feng Family was far inferior to the other three great clans. It was as if they had risen in power overnight, shocking the world.
There was no doubt that today was an extremely unusual day for the Meng Mansion. It was related to Meng Hongxue's future, and even more so, the future of the Meng Family.
Wearing a snow-white cheongsam, Meng Hongxue, who had an extremely beautiful appearance in the first place, made her appear even more beautiful like a celestial goddess. Her exquisite and perfect figure was completely revealed in the background of the cheongsam, drawing a curve that would move the heart of anyone who looked at her, causing countless domestic servant s to salivate over her, and find it difficult to control their beauty.
"Second Miss." A hearty voice came from afar.
Meng Hongxue's beautiful eyes revealed joy, she looked towards the direction of the sound, only to see Qin Xuan smiling while walking towards her, looking extremely handsome, with an outstanding temperament.
"You still know that I'm a young miss? Where have I been these past two days? As a domestic servant, you haven't done all that you could to scold me!" Meng Hongxue pouted and pretended to be angry.
Qin Xuan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, then his expression became serious and said: "These past two days I have been busy, so I did not come out. I hope that young miss can give me a heavy punishment!"
"So that's how it is." Meng Hongxue laughed, and did not continue the line of questioning. Since Qin Xuan did not say anything, then she would not ask anymore.
"In the past two days, I've felt many strange auras. Are they all participants?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Yes." Meng Hongxue slightly nodded his head, and said: "Indeed, some heaven chosen have come, including the Yue Chuan Swordsman and Xuan Family's Xuan Miao. It is said that they are all extremely outstanding heaven's pride experts."
"Then can Miss finally relax?" Qin Xuan smiled at Meng Hongxue, if these people were able to defeat Feng Xiaotian, he would not have to take action, and naturally no one would link the scene from yesterday with him.
"I hope so." Meng Hongxue laughed bitterly, clearly he was still extremely apprehensive, and did not know if these people could resist Feng Xiaotian. After all, Feng Xiaotian had been famous for a long time, and was still a disciple of the Warring Dragon Sect.
"Qianchuan, let's go take a look over there." Just then, a gentle voice sounded from afar. A row of figures walked towards where Qin Xuan and Meng Hong Xue were.
The leader of the group was a man and a woman. The man was dignified and had an outstanding temperament. The woman was smiling and looked extremely gentle. Behind them were dozens of other people, all of whom were young talents participating in the competition.
The lady was actually Meng Yulan, she glanced at the handsome man beside her and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but her gaze instantly became indifferent, sweeping her gaze over Qin Xuan and Meng Hongxue, and said indifferently: "I did not expect that you two would also be here, it's so depressing."
Qin Xuan looked at Meng Yulan coldly. He did not believe that Meng Yulan did not know they were here, if not, he would not have brought so many people here to publicly humiliate them.
"It's actually Miss Hong Xue!" Behind Meng Yulan, the gazes of the foreign young talents instantly fell on Meng Hongxue, and they were filled with an unconcealable love and admiration. Long Peaks City's number one beauty, as beautiful as the world, who wouldn't love to admire it?
When Meng Hongxue was not around, these people had surrounded her and were extremely attentive and attentive to her. Now that she was in the same place as Meng Hongxue, they had actually directly ignored her existence.
"As expected of the number one beauty of the Long Peaks City. As expected of a beauty unparalleled, a beauty capable of toppling empires." Luo Qianchuan exclaimed in his heart as he stared at Meng Hongxue, as if he wanted to deeply brand her flawless appearance into his mind.
"Qianchuan, today is the day of the match between you and Feng Xiaotian. I hope that you can release your most magnificent brilliance and let some ignorant frogs at the bottom of the well know what talent is." Meng Yulan looked at Luo Qianchuan and helped him tidy up his clothes. However, he discovered that Luo Qianchuan was also staring at him and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
Seeming to have noticed Meng Yulan's displeasure, Luo Qianchuan looked at her and reached out his hand to stroke her. Touching her face, he said confidently: "Lan'er, don't worry, the sky above Long Peaks City can't hide my light."
"How arrogant." Qin Xuan thought in his heart and couldn't help but shake his head. How could such a prideful individual who looked down on everything become a peerless figure?
"Qin Xuan, this is the Yue Chuan Swordsman that I told you about before, Luo Qianchuan." Meng Hongxue introduced the place to Qin Xuan and glanced at him.
Hearing that, Qin Xuan cupped his fists and said: "I am Qin Xuan."
"Yes." Luo Qianchuan casually looked at Qin Xuan, and gently nodded his head, after that he looked at Meng Hongxue, and smiled: "Miss Hong Xue."
She had just introduced Qin Xuan to him, and yet Luo Qianchuan had actually ignored him. This was not only belittling Qin Xuan, but also disrespecting her.
"It's fine, I'm already used to it." Qin Xuan said to Meng Hongxue. He had seen too many people who prided themselves on being high and mighty like Luo Qianchuan, there was no need to get angry over it.
The others who saw this scene were slightly surprised. They didn't expect Luo Qianchuan to be so arrogant, to the point where he directly ignored the people around him, but this was very normal, not just any person could be treated as an equal.
Seeing that Qin Xuan had become silent, the smile on his face became even wider, and the look in his eyes towards Qin Xuan was filled with ridicule and mockery, Meng Yulan said: "Hehe, you are indeed a frog in the well.
Qin Xuan's face turned cold, and replied without hesitation: "The frog at the bottom of the well is indeed humble, but there are even more pitiful people in this world. Originally, they are ants on the ground, and they don't even know it themselves.
When these words came out, Meng Yulan's expression froze, and his expression turned extremely unsightly. Qin Xuan actually said that she was inferior to a frog in the well, that's too presumptuous!
"Who do you think you are? Who gave you the courage to speak to Yulan like that?" A cold light suddenly shot out from Luo Qianchuan's eyes as he looked at Qin Xuan with an incomparably domineering aura.
"It's time to teach her a lesson. He doesn't have the right to stand together with her." Xuan Miao spat out an indifferent voice. From start to finish, his gaze was fixed on Meng Hongxue, but Meng Hongxue did not even look at him, instead, he was extremely concerned about the servants beside him. This made him extremely unhappy.
"Interesting." The surrounding people saw that the situation had suddenly changed, and expressions of interest appeared on their faces. Their gaze towards Qin Xuan contained a hint of sympathy and pity, offending both Luo Qianchuan and Xuan Miao at the same time.
Meng Hongxue's expression changed slightly, a look of panic appeared in his eyes, and just as he was about to say something, Qin Xuan smiled and interrupted him. He looked at Luo Qianchuan and asked: "Do you think I have the qualifications to speak to her in such a manner?
After Luo Qianchuan heard this, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"I was born in a family with the way of the sword. I've trained in sword arts since I was young, entered the Yuanfu Stage at the age of twenty, and stepped into the fourth level of the Yuanfu Stage within five years. Are these enough to qualify?" Luo Qianchuan said haughtily, his eyes revealing a domineering aura, as if he was the only one under heaven.
"That's it?" Qin Xuan shook his head slightly, and did not say anything. If he were to tell her that he had cultivated for only three years before he entered the Natal Palace, what kind of expression would Luo Qianchuan have?
But he did not say it, because even if he did say it, no one would believe it. They would even think he was arrogant. Since that was the case, why not say it?
"What, nothing to say?" Luo Qianchuan coldly swept his eyes across Qin Xuan and said. "From now on, don't appear in front of me in Meng Mansion."
Luo Qianchuan's tone was very calm, as if he was saying extremely ordinary words, as if he was treating his own family like a domestic servant, as if he had already become the master of a Meng Family.
"Luo Qianchuan, don't go too far! This is the Meng Mansion, not the Luo Family!" Meng Hongxue shouted. She did not expect Luo Qianchuan to be such a person, narrow-minded, without the heroic spirit of a swordsman at all.
"Second Miss, please behave yourself." Luo Qianchuan said to Meng Hongxue indifferently, using his older brother's tone, it made people feel that he was already a member of the Meng Family.
"That's fine too, when we each fight a round with Feng Xiaotian, you marry Meng Yulan and I marry Meng Hongxue." He seemed extremely light and relaxed, as if Feng Xiaotian was vulnerable in their eyes.
Luo Qianchuan glanced at Meng Hongxue, a profound look in his eyes, and then nodded his head: "Alright, but it will depend on your strength."
"You don't need to worry about that." Xuan Miao said confidently, brimming with energy and vitality, as though he had complete confidence in doing so.
As the others heard the conversation between the two of them, they felt extremely awkward. They were like the air, and didn't feel like they existed at all.
However, they knew very well what kind of strength they had. The reason they chose to stay in Meng Mansion was to catch a few more glances at Meng Hongxue, and as for marrying Meng Hongxue, they didn't even dare to imagine it.
