Urban God-level Youth

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Ye Lingyi's tone was exceedingly sincere.

Qin Hao: "No need to be polite. Go back and give it to Mr. Ye; this way, he'll have more security when returning to the Skyfire Dynasty."

Ye Lingyi returned to the pavilion courtyard, and Qin Hao also went back to his residence.

At this time, Ling'er and Bai were still refining and absorbing the essence of the millennium blood ginseng's elixir, while Xian Yin watched over them from the side.

Seeing Qin Hao return, Xian Yin stood up and said, "Young master, you're back. Just now, someone delivered an invitation."

With that, he took out a gilded invitation card and handed it to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao opened it to take a look; it was an invitation to a banquet from Nangong Yuya of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, taking place at Fengyue Building.

Xian Yin asked, "Young master, do you want to go?"

Qin Hao: "I'll go and check it out. I want to see what kind of gathering this is."

Nangong Yuya had also wanted to seize the Binding Immortal Rope earlier, but when Qin Hao took it, she didn't join in. Perhaps inviting Qin Hao now is about the Binding Immortal Rope!

Xian Yin reminded him, "Then, young master, be careful. There will surely be many powerful factions at this banquet."

Qin Hao: "It's fine, those people are nothing to fear."

...

Just after six in the afternoon, Qin Hao came out of his room and said to Xian Yin, "Wait for me at home, and contact me if anything happens."

Xian Yin nodded, "Alright, young master."

Exiting the inn, Qin Hao headed straight toward Fengyue Building. As the sun set in the west, the night would soon fall.

Outside Fengyue Building.

Qin Hao arrived and saw many luxurious carriages parked at the entrance, and faintly, from afar, luxurious carriages could be seen arriving through the air.

Before he even walked inside, a voice echoed throughout Fengyue Building: "Mr. Qin has arrived."

The people inside Fengyue Building were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Mr. Qin? Could it be Qin Hao? Is he here too??

Many present were startled and turned to look at the host of this banquet, Nangong Yuya.

Nangong Yuya stood up and went out, along with many others who followed.

"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please come in." Nangong Yuya emerged and, upon seeing Qin Hao at the entrance, had a charming smile on her face.

Qin Hao gave a faint smile, "Princess Yuya, your words are too gracious. Please."

The two of them courteously invited each other and walked in side by side.

"Mr. Qin, I haven't yet congratulated you on winning the first place in the secret realm trial. It's truly deserved for you to be the number one among the younger generation." Nangong Yuya complimented him with a smile on her face.

Qin Hao: "I was just a little lucky, it was purely coincidental."

When they arrived at the back of Fengyue Building, many were watching Qin Hao.

Qin Hao glanced around and saw some familiar faces; Zhou Liuxing and Zhou Wanqing from the Nan Zhou Dynasty, Chu Feiyun from the Beichu Dynasty, Wu Feng from the Flame Dragon Dynasty, and Lei Tianjue from the Thunder God Dynasty.

The people from the Five Great Dynasties were almost all gathered, in addition to the disciples from top sects, like the Green Cloud Sect, Sun and Moon Holy Sect, Jialan Temple, Yunv Sect, and so on.

Here, Qin Hao also saw Du Qinghao; Nangong Yuya's influence was far greater than Du Qinghao's, drawing top talents from virtually every major power in the Southern Continent.

Many who saw Qin Hao showed hostility in their eyes.

In the secret realm, Qin Hao had offended quite a few factions, especially the Nan Zhou Dynasty, having killed one of their people just this morning.

Nangong Yuya led Qin Hao to a table inside, where many young talents from powerful factions were seated: "Mr. Qin, please sit."

Qin Hao sat down and glanced at the people at the table; he didn't recognize them.

Nangong Yuya positioned those with grievances against Qin Hao at another table.

By around seven o'clock, most of the guests had arrived, and Nangong Yuya said a few words, quieting down everyone at the banquet.

She mostly exchanged pleasantries, which Qin Hao found rather shallow.

After speaking, some talented beauties from Fengyue Building flew onto a martial arts stage to offer a dance.

At Qin Hao's table, Nangong Yuya softly said, "Mr. Qin, let me introduce you. This is Mao Yunlong from the Green Cloud Sect, Lan Manshuang from the Yunv Sect, Ren Jianxing from the Leisurely Palace, Du Shijie from the Taixu Sword Sect, and Xu Heng from the Void Palace."

As Nangong Yuya introduced them, they all greeted politely, and Qin Hao responded to each.

Mao Yunlong asked, "Mr. Qin, has the Binding Immortal Rope recognized you as its master yet?"

Instantly, everyone at the table and those at nearby tables looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao replied, "Yes, it has."

Many were slightly taken aback by his words.

Mao Yunlong's eyes showed a hint of disappointment: "Then congratulations, Mr. Qin. With the Binding Immortal Rope, you will surely become a top-tier strong figure in the future."

Qin Hao: "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Mao."

Lan Manshuang from the Yunv Sect, smiling, raised her glass and said, "Mr. Qin, your prowess is unparalleled, truly a prodigy of our time. I raise a glass to you."

"Miss Lan, you're too kind." Qin Hao raised his glass and drank it in one go.

Lan Manshuang put down her glass with a radiant smile: "Mr. Qin, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing Lan Manshuang's words, many people were slightly startled. What does she mean? Could it be that the Yunv Sect intends to recruit Qin Hao?

Doesn't the Yunv Sect only recruit female disciples? Could they now be accepting men too??

Qin Hao thought for a moment before replying, "I haven't decided yet; I plan to focus on improving my cultivation after entering the Heaven and Earth Academy first."

Lan Manshuang continued, "I wonder if Mr. Qin would be interested in becoming a protector for our Yunv Sect? We would provide you with abundant resources for your training."

Upon hearing Lan Manshuang's proposal, many displayed expressions of realization.

This Lan Manshuang is quick to act, already bringing this up. It's likely that Nangong Yuya invited Qin Hao today for the same reason, wasn't it?

Qin Hao showed a thoughtful expression: "Would this protector role require subordination to the Yunv Sect? I'm used to being carefree and don't like being restricted."

Hearing his response, Lan Manshuang felt optimistic and smiled, "Our Yunv Sect wouldn't restrict our protectors. We would fully support you with cultivation resources, and our protectors would only need to assist us in times of crisis. Of course, if our protectors are in trouble, Yunv Sect would also be your support."

Qin Hao nodded slightly upon hearing her explanation, finding it quite agreeable.

At this moment, Nangong Yuya spoke up, "Mr. Qin, what do you think of their dance?"

Qin Hao turned to the martial arts stage, "Hmm, it's quite good, all youthful beauties with graceful figures."

Lan Manshuang couldn't help but chuckle at his remark, while Nangong Yuya was slightly annoyed: "Mr. Qin, I was asking about their dance, not how they look."

Qin Hao, having said it off the cuff, awkwardly smiled, "I meant their dance is quite good too."

Nangong Yuya interrupted their conversation, fearing Qin Hao might directly accept Lan Manshuang's offer. If that happened, wouldn't her Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty lose its opportunity?
