Yang Zhen followed Hua Youyue to a secluded place, looked around nervously, and asked, “Miss, you brought me to this quiet place, although I’ve succeeded in my marriage proposal, but… but I’m not ready yet!”

Hua Youyue no longer held her elegant charm, ignored Yang Zhen’s words, glared at him, and said unhappily, “Yang Zhen, you shouldn’t have offended

Sun Yushi.”

“Why?” Yang Zhen was somewhat surprised that Hua Youyue had sought him out for this matter.

Hua Youyue sighed and said, “Sun Yushi is extraordinarily talented. Despite his young age, he has already gathered four talents and successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm yesterday. Even the Master was mistaken in his judgment. He might enter the Sea Tower and possibly… may become the Master’s direct disciple.”

Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “I thought he was a descendant of the Emperor, or perhaps his family possesses a mine, they’re rich enough to rival a country, turns out he’s just a genius. Why can’t I offend him? We each have a neck and a head, is his head bigger than mine?”

Hua Youyue laughed bitterly and helplessly said, “I knew I can’t reason with you, you even angered the National Master of Dajiang Country until he vomited blood. Before I came here, he was enraged and complaining about you everywhere, saying you show no respect to your elders.

Yang Zhen widened his eyes, “What, the old man’s blood vomiting wasn’t my fault, I’m not carrying this blame, absolutely not! Moreover, what does his badmouthing… mean? He’s a disrespectful old man, next time I see him, 111 undoubtedly infuriate him until he becomes blind!”

Hua Youyue was taken aback, “Do you know that the National Master isn’t actually blind?”

“How surprising!” Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, “I even know why he vomited blood!”

“Why?” Hua Youyue asked curiously.

Yang Zhen grinned and said, “You should ask your Family’s Three Clan Elders about that, she’s so adorable, acting coy and imitating a cat’s meow, others can put up with it, but the National Master might not.”

Hua Youyue’s eyes grew bigger and bigger as she stared at Yang Zhen, speechless, “You, you mean…”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “That’s right, the old man’s love root was unresolved, he’s becoming infatuated in his old age, how can I take the blame for his blood vomiting?”

After a long pause, Hua Youyue bitterly smiled and said, “Regardless, you should behave at the Coast of the East Sea. The Master and the National Master are different, even the National Master has to respectfully address him as Master when he meets him, taking the position of a disciple.

“That powerful?” Yang Zhen was surprised, he hadn’t expected this.

The National Master of Dajiang Country, although disrespectful, did hold a certain position. Yang Zhen couldn’t see through his cultivation realm, which was at least stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage, and as the National Master, he could predict astral observations and logic. The upheaval in the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower was his prediction.

Such a person had to take the role of a disciple in front of the Master, just how high was the Master’s standing?

It was troublesome. If Sun Yushi truly managed to enter the Sea Tower and became the Master’s disciple successfully, wouldn’t that mean they’d rise along with him? And with Sun Yushi’s bootlicking character, he might even bite Yang Zhen in return. Sadly, Yang Zhen couldn’t retaliate, not to mention bite back.

This was a real problem!

Yang Zhen’s eyes whirled around, while Hua Youyue, feeling a strong headache, persuaded, “Don’t think about harming Sun Yushi. Cultivation methods and martial skills can deceive people, cultivation realms can be faked, but talent and scholarship can’t be fabricated. He has amassed four scholarships, which has already exceeded the Master’s expectations!”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief, “Don’t worry, I’m the most low-profile person!”

“You…” Hua Youyue wanted to say something, but held back and glared at Yang Zhen.

If Yang Zhen was low-profile, then there probably wouldn’t be anyone more rebellious in the entire Nether State.

Seeing Yang Zhen turning to leave, Hua Youyue quickly followed and said, “I came here to go to East Forest Island, which is where Elder Ci resides, it’s called the Alchemy Spirit Island. You should come with me when the time comes. Whether it’s the Coast of the East Sea or Turtle Serpent Island, all are places of talented individuals. You don’t have any advantages.’

Yang Zhen shook his head, turned around, placed his hands on Hua Youyue’s shoulders, and said earnestly and solemnly, “Miss, you are wrong, it’s because I don’t have any advantages that I should stay at the Coast of the East Sea or go to Turtle Serpent Island. Otherwise how will I progress, that’s my path, I must keep moving forward unswervingly!”

He was joking. At the Three Spirit Islands of the Coast of the East Sea, Yang Zhen only had a slight advantage in terms of talent. He had never touched alchemy and artifact refining. If alchemy using a pressure cooker could be considered as alchemy, wouldn’t that be a joke?

He absolutely couldn’t go. Yang Zhen was a man who wanted to become King of the Pirates, and the first step to becoming King of the Pirates was at the Coast of the East Sea. Why go to East Forest Island when he could go to Turtle Serpent Island?

Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen dumbfoundedly, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, which slowly morphed into agreement. She nodded and said, -What you said isn’t unreasonable. We should learn from each other’s strengths, and we also can’t neglect to make up for our shortcomings… be careful.”

Yang Zhen blinked, “Miss, are you worrying about me?”

Hua Youyue turned her head away, annoyed, and said, “Our paths are different, even if we try to force it, we’ll just encounter disaster. However… if you have time, you might consider staying at the Hua Family for a few days. Ever since that day, the Three Clan Elder hasn’t stopped thinking about you, always opposing the National Master. Every time a rumor unfavorable to you arises, the Three Clan Elder would get furious.”

Yang Zhen jumped in scare, hastily waving his hands and said, “I can’t afford to provoke her. 1 truly can’t afford to provoke the Three Clan Elder. Let the National Master play with her.”

“You…” Hua Youyue couldn’t help but laugh, the majestic owner of Changyue Tower laughed like a blushing young maiden.

At this moment, both their expressions changed as they looked up in shock.

“It’S the Great Elder of Turtle Serpent Island, Ji Shulin, why is he here?” Hua Youyue exclaimed in surprise, a touch of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

“Is he very powerful?” Yang Zhen asked without turning around.

The newcomer was surrounded by talent, soared through the sky, and under his feet, the talent transformed into a dragon, roaring towards the sky, lifelike. This momentum alone left everyone in awe.

Near the Sea Tower, all the practitioners were shocked, looking incredulously at the elderly man in mid-air, their expressions excited and stirred up.

Especially Bian Liang and Sun Yushi, the top scholar of Water Spirit Country, the two were even more excited, their faces revealing a sense of eagerness, they greeted him with a respectful disciple s salute.

Hua Youyue admired and echoed, “Not just powerful, his position is almost the most revered in the Turtle Serpent Island apart from the Master. Even the Turtle Serpent Island’s Master is his student. Eight talents, besides the Master, no other people have this!”

Yang Zhen inhaled sharply, “Eight talents, just one short of carrying the Way with words and forming Talent Inscriptions. His momentum surely is extraordinary, but what is he doing here? Is he here to observe the challenge between Bian Liang and Sun Yushi?”

Hua Youyue shook her head and said, “Sun Yushi is a person valued by the Master, he has condensed four talents at a young age. I fear Elder Ji is here for him!”

As she said this, Hua Youyue glanced at Yang Zhen and said, “Of course, he might also be here for this Scholarship Conference. After all, this Scholarship Conference at the Sea Tower is grand, and many talented young men gathered here, maybe someone will succeed..”
