Chapter 445: This is True (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)
Ning Wei and Guo Kai were currently ready to fight, the atmosphere extremely tense and awkward. Yu Xin and several other seed candidates from the Star Sect watched with great interest, eagerly anticipating the battle that would ensue.
Just at this moment.
"Clap clap, Young Master Xie, what an honor to have you here today, I apologize if I have offended you,"
"Would the City Lord mind if I joined in as well?"
A voice came from the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and soon after, the guard-closed doors were reopened.
Three figures came into view.
A young man with an eerie expression, neither smiling nor crying, dressed in black with a wide-bladed sword on his back. On his face, between his left eyebrow, a sword mark could be seen. His eyes were sunken, deep, and dark, like an eagle's eyes.
This man could not be considered handsome; in fact, he had a sinister aura that made people feel uneasy.
The other two were dressed in black robes, their faces unseen, giving off a chilling and terrifying vibe.
"Brother!!!"
"So it's the newly appointed core disciple of Star Sect, Young Master Guo Da,"
"Didn't expect you to honor us with your presence at the City Lord's banquet today, what a delight, what a delight,"
"Please have a seat."
Du Yong's enthusiasm at seeing Guo Da was even greater than when greeting Xie Yun, which made Xie Yun frown slightly. Did his status really rank lower than this core disciple of a second-rate sect?
Even Wutian, the president of Star Commerce who had been silently drinking, sprang up energetically to greet Guo Da: "Young Master Guo, long time no see, how have you been lately!"
"Didn't expect you to become a core disciple of Star Sect at such a young age, you are truly promising."
.....
Hmm?? This Guo Kai's brother, there's something weird about him!!
"Star Sect has such a young Mortal Martial Realm disciple, with a cultivation higher than some of the elders."
Ye Tian also looked towards the entrance and immediately noticed the young man with eagle eyes. From Guo Kai's call, Ye Tian knew this was his brother and a core disciple of the Star Sect, but his first impression of him was very strange!!!
Previously in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Ning Wei and her group explained the general situation of the Star Sect to him, even mentioning that Elder Laoguang was at the Heavenly Rank Seventh Stage, showing that the Star Sect's Mortal Martial Realm disciples were top-tier fighters.
He had also heard from the Great Elder that Kunlun Martial Arts had Dark-grade, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Mortal Martial Realm stages, and that Mortal Martial Realm was the true beginning of martial arts.
Guo Da, at only twenty-seven, had already broken through to the Mortal Martial Realm, indicating that his martial arts future would surely be bright.
Furthermore, the two Black Robed Men beside him were both Second Rank Spiritual Martial Realm martial artists, puzzling Ye Tian even more!!
Considering that the Spiritual Martial Realm came after the Mortal Martial Realm, and there were no Spiritual Martial Realm martial artists in the entire Star City, not even the Star Sect's oldest ancestor was beyond the Mortal Martial Realm Seventh Stage.
Guo Da was constantly accompanied by two Spiritual Martial Realm powerhouses, an exhibition that no sect in the entire western Kunlun had the means to match, truly intimidating.
Besides, Guo Da's aura was very restrained and deeply hidden. Among those present, Ye Tian was the only one able to discern their full information at a glance.
"Brother Xu, drink a little less, it's not good for your health,"
"Your wife will be fine, don't you see Ning Wei helping her?"
"Don't worry."
Having finished his thoughts, Ye Tian immediately stopped Xu Que, who was indulging in drink.
"Really? I hope so."
....
"Brother, what are you doing right now??"
"Towards a beautiful woman, you should be gentle, not so rough."
"Put down your weapons!"
Before long, Guo Da was respectfully seated at the main table by Du Yong. His voice seemed almost magical, making the two immediately lower their weapons.
"Brother, why are you here!!"
"Are you here to watch my Star Sect examination tomorrow??"
Upon seeing his proud brother, Guo Kai was extremely excited, his face flushing as he spoke.
"Brother, I've come down the mountain this time to serve as the Chief Judge for this examination."
"Rest assured, I will closely watch your performance."
Guo Da's eyes narrowed to slits, the sword mark on his face resembling a crawling centipede, giving a dreadful appearance.
"I wonder what just happened here?"
"Could someone tell me, so I can apologize on behalf of my brother?"
Guo Da swept his gaze around the room, speaking with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Everyone felt as if their hearts were punctured by an ice cone, cold and painful.
"This Guo Da, seems to be Guo Kai's brother. Unexpectedly, he's so young yet a core disciple of Star Sect."
"Too strong, not someone to be provoked."
The martial artists were inwardly terrified.
"You, tell me!!"
Seeing the martial artists remain silent, Guo Da still smiling, casually pointed to a nearby onlooker.
"Ah, it's... it's me..."
"It's like this....."
The martial artist stammered, looking unnaturally at Ning Wei and Guo Kai, but roughly explaining the situation.
"Oh, so that's what happened!!"
"Miss Ning, you are at fault here. This waitress soiled my brother's clothes,"
"She deserved punishment, yet you assisted in oppressing him. Are you bullying my brother because he's outnumbered?"
Guo Da stepped forward, picked up a cup of red spiritual fruit wine, lightly swirled it without drinking, and said with a smile.
At the same time, his Mortal Martial Realm aura subtly pressed down on Ning Wei.
"This... this is Mortal Martial Realm pressure."
"Has Guo Da reached such a level already."
Noticing the worsening situation, Fatty stood near Ning Wei, countering Guo Da's imposing aura.
"Young Master Guo, your brother said the clothes cost two thousand spirit stones,"
"Isn't this obviously making it hard for others?"
As a swordsman, Ning Wei was valorous and unyielding; having a reason made her resolute.
"President Wutian, wasn't this the clothing I paid two thousand spirit stones for from your Star Commerce,"
"sold to my brother? Is there an issue?"
Guo Da smiled at Ning Wei's answer and asked Wutian.
"No... no issue, Young Master Guo indeed bought this clothing from my Star Commerce for two thousand spirit stones,"
"and it's indeed worth two thousand spirit stones."
Under the intense pressure, Wutian felt a heaviness in his body, the Black Robed Man's sharp gaze fixed on him.
"Miss Ning, you see, even the Star Commerce president agrees,"
"so my brother wasn't lying or making things difficult."
"Now, pay up."
Guo Da extended his hand, mildly, but clearly indicating that refusal would trigger action.
...
"Bullshit, what kind of lousy clothing could be worth two thousand spirit stones,"
"They're clearly in cahoots, trying to fleece Xiao Qin and Miss Ning."
"No way, I have to expose their true nature."
Fuming, Xu Que eyed them angrily, eager to stand up.
"Young Master Guo!!"
