225 Adjust Mentality
Luo Xiao could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. It was quite interesting to know that even the natal family of a concubine could behave so arogantly.
While the Gu family and the Wang family were clashing against each other, all the other families and youngsters present tried to hide their presence as much as possible.
Although everyone who could enter this secret realm had a certain degree of fame and reputation, the Gu family and the Wang family were both hegemons and getting involved in their feud would not be good for anyone.
“Everyone, find somewhere to rest. It will be time to enter the Secret Realm soon, so all of you should try to adjust your state and enter in your prime condition.” Patriarch Gu was not willing to spend more time entangling with the Wang family. He was often annoyed by them, but the Wang family were unable to do anything else than annoying their Gu family, so although they got annoyed, nothing else happened.
On the other hand, the Gu family was also unable to unroot the Wang family, so the two families always annoyed each other but gained no benefits.
This also resulted in them often just sneering at one another for some time, before they split up once more, destroying the mood of both parties.
Gu Xingyu was not willing to let the mental state of the younger talents be affected by this annoyance, so he quickly asked the youngsters to sit back and begin meditating. Even though they could not increase their cultivation base, they would be able to adjust their mental state and become refreshed.
Many of the other experts present had been observing the confrontation with relish. Although they could not participate, they could still enjoy gossiping afterwards, so they all wanted to see the drama first-hand.
However, when they noticed the Gu family’s approach, and how quickly they all sat down to meditate, many of them felt somewhat ashamed of themselves.
The Gu family was not the first to arrive, but they were the only ones who sat aside to cultivate their mental state instead of talking with one another and being overtaken by the excitement.
Everyone knew that the Secret Realm was dangerous and that there would definitely be some losses of lives within the trial, however, none of those who were to enter had taken it that seriously so far.
But now, when they watched the Gu family take it this seriously, that even if they were about to enter, they still had to adjust and be in a good state, the others began to realize that it might not just be excitement and adventure. Life was really at stake.
It was no wonder that the Gu family was able to become a prominent family when they were able to maintain their senses even in the face of such an exciting adventure.
“What are they trying to show off for.” A mocking voice erupted at the Wang family’s side, but the young man who had spoken could not help but yelp as his face was hit by a branch right after.
“You should look at their performance as a role model. You, too, would benefit from calming down your mind and preparing for the challenges and trials ahead in the Secret Realm.” The Elder that was speaking looked solemn, and the young man dared not speak any more.
The Elder that had tossed a branch at the young man’s face was very famous within the Wang family. He was one of the talents that had entered the Secret Realm before, and he knew of the dangers and opportunities that lied within.
He had explained and introduced all the knowledge he had to the experts of the younger generation, but he had also stressed time and time again how dangerous it was within.
Many of the younger generations of the Wang family had remembered his warnings. Although the Wang family was arrogant, many of them had some actual talents and achievements to back up this arrogance, but a few were unable to maintain their reasonable mindset after the success had reached their brains.
Seeing that even the Wang family agreed with the Gu family’s actions, many of the other talents that were waiting quickly found a place to sit down and begin calming their minds.
It was only then that they realized that the excitement had gone a bit too far, and their senses were dulled. If they were to enter the Secret Realm in such a state, they would easily be endangered.
Gu Xingyu was pleased to see that the entire area was slowly quieting down and that everyone were beginning to settle their excitement and adjust their mentality.
pan-da-n0vel.com Although many of these young experts were not part of the Gu family, they were still from the same country, and they were the future of their world. They were all needed for the Tiandi Continent to move forward, so he hoped that there would be as few casualties as possible.
The Wang family’s Patriarch was standing aside and looked at the many experts that quickly calmed down. His eyes roamed across the group of Gu family youths, and they lingered on Luo Xiao’s face.
The more he looked, the deeper his frown became, and he was more and more annoyed. This man was one of the few that had met Gu Xingxi, and witnessed her grow up and become a beautiful woman. However, whenever he looked at Luo Xiao, he could not see any shadows of her appearance. It was as if they were not related at all.
