Chapter 1114 (Gathering of Experts)
Qi Xuewen's visit this time is not mainly for Bloodgold; he just wants to make a name for himself. Although it's not a significant achievement, it's a good start.
When he goes down the mountain, no... when he goes out of the sea, there will be people who remember him. They will say, "Isn't he the one from back then? I didn't expect him to be so powerful. I regret not following him. If given another chance, I would have clung to his thigh even if I died."
This is the feeling he wants. Qi Xuewen wants to be this kind of man. He wants those who look down on him, despise him, to regret it! Trash! Scum! Get lost! Qi Xuewen will eventually dominate this world! When the time comes, whoever Qi Xuewen wants to die, they will die!
Just like the North-South Martial Arts Competition back then, Empress wanted someone to die, and they died. That kind of momentum, that kind of majesty, will never be forgotten in this lifetime.
"Husband?" Bao Yuyu called softly, noticing that her husband sometimes falls into this state, smiling like a fool.
Qi Xuewen snapped out of it, "Oh, I was just thinking about what our child will be like."
"Hate you~ We just found out that we're pregnant, it's not that fast," Bao Yuyu said shyly, gently caressing her belly.
She only found out about the pregnancy these past few days, and she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Qi Xuewen is a bit worried at this moment, "Yuyu, how about I send you back? I'm not at ease with you here."
"It's okay, I don't need you to protect me. I'm quite strong on my own."
"You..." Qi Xuewen teasingly flicked Bao Yuyu's nose. Now that he's going to be a father, Qi Xuewen's mindset has changed a bit, but not much.
A large number of people entered Sin City, at least ninety percent of people came for Bloodgold, and the others might want to take advantage of the situation.
But it cannot be denied that the situation this time is complicated. The whole team is scattered in the city, and they don't know each other's presence.
And Long Aotian will be even more clueless about the arrival of Qing Yutong!
If he sees Qing Yutong again, how will Long Aotian react? After all, he once planned to take Qing Yutong into his harem. He had this terrible idea, and his life changed...
So, terrifying thoughts must not be entertained because they can change one's destiny.
The Meng family...
Long Aotian and the others were enjoying the delicious food provided by Meng Yi. It was indeed delicious!
Each region has its way of cooking, and this is undoubtedly the taste of the southern part of the Sapphire Continent, at least that's what Long Aotian and Jiu Ye think.
Meng Yi looked at the several people wolfing down the food and seemed a bit stunned. How long has it been since they've eaten?
They are so hungry.
Looking at this black-clothed person, he looks frail, but faced with such delicious food, he seems indifferent!
No wonder he's so thin; he must be malnourished.
"Brother, is the food not to your liking?" Meng Yi asked the Death Assassin.
Long Aotian quickly explained, "Brother Meng, my eldest brother has a poor appetite, and he's also mute; he can't speak."
"Oh... I see," Meng Yi nodded. It turns out this formidable expert is mute. Fortunately, he's not crippled.
"Dad, Mom, this food is delicious," Chu Yuxuan said coldly. His tone remains consistent, without any adjustment, even a joke sounds like he wants to die.
Jiu Ye sighed.
"Grandpa, eat more."
Jiu Ye: "..."
"This child is really sensible," Meng Yi smiled faintly. He must be in his twenties, with a little one beside him.
Everyone didn't know how to start a conversation. This was a child whose meridians had been damaged by silver needles.
At this moment, Meng Meng smiled, "This child is quite smart."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mom."
Long Yan was unwilling, "Mom, why don't you compliment me too?"
"Yan'er is obedient, the best."
"Mom!" Chu Yuxuan felt jealous.
Long Aotian didn't know what to say. Next time... next time, he must make sure to 'pierce' him properly. He can't afford to make mistakes again.
At this moment, Meng Binjian walked in and saw his son eating with friends, showing a smile, "Everyone, I didn't welcome you properly."
Meng Yi quickly introduced, "Brother Long, this is my father."
It turned out to be the family head. Long Aotian and others stood up and saluted.
Meng Binjian nodded, but when he looked at the black-clothed person, who didn't stand up, he seemed a bit displeased.
He pulled his son aside and whispered, "Don't bring just anyone home, understand?"
"Father, that old man, his sin index is six stars. And that person in black, I feel it's even higher. They can definitely be useful to us." Meng Yi wasn't a fool; there must be a purpose behind his actions. In Sin City, there are no good people.
Meng Binjian now understood; his son must have set his sights on the old man and the person in black.
"You handle it yourself; these days will be busy for me. Be careful on your own," Meng Binjian whispered. Then, he smiled at Long Aotian and the others, "Enjoy your meal; I have something to attend to, won't accompany you."
Long Aotian felt that this family head was quite easy to talk to and very polite.
However, Jiu Ye didn't think so. After all, the higher one sits, the more insight one gains. Meng Yi seemed shrewd, and a father like him must be even more astute.
Jiu Ye picked up a piece of meat and fed it to the little Bao beside him. The little Bao was so happy; his tail wagged continuously as he walked around.
"Brother Long, I apologise. My father is busy preparing for the Heavenly Arena, so he has a lot on his plate," Meng Yi explained.
Heavenly Arena? This puzzled everyone.
Jiu Ye asked, "Meng, what does the Heavenly Arena mean?"
"You guys are not locals, so you must not know. In our Sin City, there is a Heavenly Arena every thousand years. It's a spectacular event, and everyone will know about it when the time comes," Meng Yi said with a faint smile.
Long Aotian curiously asked, "Isn't this Heavenly Arena just for watching?"
"Of course not. It's also a kind of martial arts competition. At that time, forces from the southern part of the Sapphire Continent, like the well-known Broken Meridian Sect and the Divine Scripture Academy, will all gather."
Long Aotian nodded, realising that it's better to keep a low profile. He had just thought about signing up a moment ago.
Meng Yi thought, 'why don't you sign up? Represent the Meng family.'
Of course, this representation is not exclusive. As long as one is willing, countless representatives can participate. If they win, the honour belongs to the representative family.
So having more people participate in the family's battles is also a kind of insurance.
Jiu Ye was also contemplating what to do if they encounter people from the Broken Meridian Sect. They wouldn't be able to win.
"Are there any rewards?" Jiu Ye asked.
'Just waiting for your question.'
