Painting of the Nine Immortals

“I am warning you. Do not come find me again. Or else, I will take your life.”

After those words were spoken, the young man reacted as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body solidified.

He could feel it. Ling Xian wasn’t joking about what he had said. He will actually get killed. Therefore, he closed his lips tightly. He didn’t shout. He couldn’t even find the guts to shriek from the pain.

However, that pair of eyes of his eyes were full of terror and evil.

By then, Ling Xian had left.

To him, what had happened was just a little interlude. That young man didn’t deserve his attention. But that person couldn’t identify the right from the wrong so Ling Xian didn’t mind teaching him a bloody lesson.

Therefore, he ignored the young man and headed straight to the Moon Inviting Garden.

….

The Moon Inviting Garden is located at the north west corner of Li City.

It contains a royal palace, an open pavilion, and it has emerald water and green mountains, strong flowers and rare plants. It was a place of beauty.

One could even claim that this was the most beautiful place in Li City. Therefore, this place is often used as the place to host large scale gathering.

Of course, those who are able to host gatherings here are impressive characters. Ordinary people wouldn’t have the right to step in here.

Currently, the Sun was hanging high. The Moon Inviting Garden was very clamorous and welcoming. Guests poured in continuously. The battle carriages outside were flickering with light. The beasts leading them were all giant and ferocious – representing the extraordinariness of their owners.

What could they do? This was a gathering hosted by Fairy Wu. How could any normal people gain the right to participate? Without exception, all those who came were Heaven’s Favorites with important titles.

Therefore, most people arrived by carriages.

Of course, there were a few exceptions who came by foot. However, all those people were famous young powerhouses. Not only did they not experience any mocking, they were being complimented.

“It’s Master Feng after all. Even when he walks he’s so handsome.”

“Yeah, the young master from the Chu nation is the same. He simply doesn’t feel the need to use a carriage to show off.”

“Exactly. There’s also the strongest descendant from the Wang Clan. They are so powerful they don’t feel the need to accent it anymore.”

Staring at the Heaven’s Favorites who walked here, everyone expressed their opinions and complimented the few people who walked.

Just then, everyone suddenly realized that other than the few famous Heaven’s Favorites, there was someone else who was walking slowly from afar.

He wore a robe as white as snow and his temperament was anything but ordinary. However, his visage was an unfamiliar one.

Everyone was a little startled at first, then they began to chuckle.

“Interesting. Young Master Feng is truly powerful and unmatchable. He’s been like that always. But this man here is trying to copy him.”

“What a joke. Where did this country side pumpkin come from? He is trying to act like a tiger but he’s looking more like a dog doing it.”

“Haha, you are completely right. I have seen all the famous Heaven’s Favorites from the Eastern Territory but I have never met that guy. He is probably someone who used his connection to attend this gathering.”

“It looks like he didn’t have the money to get a carriage and he wanted to copy Young Master Feng, so he walked here.”

Everyone gossiped with words of disdain. After realizing that Ling Xian had no Qi, the taunt in their voices intensified.

This made Ling Xian a little speechless.

He has heard how these people complimented the previous Heaven’s Favorites and how they said they walked because they didn’t feel the need to show off. How come when it comes to him, they were accusing him of not being able to afford a carriage? And that he was copying?

He understood though, these people had complex emotions.

When someone is successful, even if they eat the most low-class food, they would be described as experiencing life. But when a normal person does a low-class activity, they are known as incapable.

“I am speechless.”

Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, feeling too lazy to argue with these people. Seeing he wasn’t talking back, these people became wilder. Statements of mockery arose one after another and they echoed throughout the Moon Inviting Garden.

“He has no battle carriage yet he dares to attend this gathering. Isn’t he embarrassed of himself?”

“He has no real capability so he has to resort to acting this way to try and snatch attention. Sadly, I saw right through his uneducated side at first glance.”

“Haha, I can tell as well. He has no scent of Tianzhou on him. He is probably from outside the continent.”

“Exactly. He is a rural pumpkin.”

Listening to the mockery around him, Ling Xian frowned. It was true he wasn’t from this continent but everyone from outside of here is considered low class?

Being without a battle carriage meant he had no identity?

This kind of thinking made Ling Xian very uncomfortable. However, he didn’t say anything and walked straight towards the main gate of the Moon Inviting Garden.

At this, everyone began to laugh louder. A man in an expensive gown stopped Ling Xian and said cockily, “Fella, do you have an invitation? Don’t try to catch a fish in muddy water.”

“Why is it your business whether or not I have an invitation?”

Ling Xian glared at him, “Could it be… you are the servant who is in charge of singing to the guests?”

Hearing this, the man in the gown froze. Because Ling Xian was right; the task of checking invitations was something only servants did.

Then, anger appeared on his face, “So you have a sharp tongue. Inspecting people’s invitation is my freedom. I like doing it.”

“Then taking out my invitation or not is my freedom. You have no right to ask me.”

Ling Xian spoke softly. He didn’t think these so-called heaven’s Favorites would have such bad manners.

“You!”

The young man was furious and continued to laugh, “It looks like you cannot show me your invitation.”

“Haha, that has got to be it. Does that fella really think he can sneak into the gathering?”

“Interesting. I have seen people who caught a fish in muddy water by luck. But it is the first time I have seen anyone trying this so calmly. To put it nicely, he is calm. To put it bluntly, he has no face.”

“If this man has no invitation then he is dead meat. He dares to try and pull something like this at the Gathering of Heaven’s Favorites for Fairy Wu? He is sure tired of living.”

Everyone continued to offer their opinion and mocked.

Ling Xian frowned yet again, not happy about this.

“Hehe, young man, let me give you a warning.”

The young man was not at all polite. “If you have no invitation, then disappear from my face right now. Or else you will get it.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian felt too lazy to argue. He prepared to take out his invitation to slap these people in the face.

However, just as he was about to take out his invitation, a bright, pleasant, and angel-like voice suddenly arose, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Friend, you have finally arrived. I have waited for you for a long time.”

After those words, an absolutely beautiful woman walked out from the garden.

Her skin was pale and flawless, her eyes were dewy like spring water. Her nose was straight and perky, her lips were red and moist. A purely white long gown was wrapped around her curvy body, making her look like the reincarnation of a Goddess – untainted, magnificent.

At once, everyone’s attention was snatched by her. It was as if she was the only one in the world, the only thing that shines and deserves everyone’s gaze.

All because she was Wu Ning Cheng.

The number one ranked fairy-like woman, Wu Ning Zheng, also known as the undefeatable Heaven’s Favorite of her generation.
