Chapter 1403: Lu Changwei's Invitation
"Lady Wenren." Chen Xiaobei looked over and immediately spotted that beautiful face.
Her features were delicate like those girls from the comic books, her skin was fair and radiant, like that of a white porcelain! Her long dark hair ran down her back like a waterfall. On each side of her ears was a silver feather that only the Silver Plume nobles had!
She was wearing a white heroine outfit, looking very valiant, showing off her sultry and devilish body.
She looked like a faerie princess in the movies, flawlessly beautiful.
When she called out to Chen Xiaobei, all attention fell on him.
"Who is that kid? What's so great about him that he gets Goddess Muyue's favour?"
"An outsider! He doesn't look like he's any good! What makes him worthy enough to travel with Goddess Muyue?"
"Whoa... I envy him! If I could go with Goddess Muyue, I would be so ecstatic that I'd probably be smiling in my sleep!"
"That's not fair! What does he have that we don't? Why?"
All the perverts around them kept lamenting fate's unfairness. They glared at Chen Xiaobei, their gaze burning into him like he was going to combust into flames.
"Coming!" Chen Xiaobei smiled, ignoring the fiery glares and made his way to Wenren Muyue.
There were about a dozen of people standing next to Wenren Muyue. It seemed like they were going to travel together.
"Mr. Chen! Allow me to introduce you!" Wenren Muyue greeted him warmly. She pointed to the two people standing on either side of her, "You know Bro Yiyue, and Qing'er. These people behind are Miao family's and Wen family's blood-related children, they are our cousins - Bro Yiyue's and mine!"
"How is everyone?" Chen Xiaobei gave them a slight nod, and a bow.
Needless to say, the Wenren family members were polite and good young people. On top of that, Wenren Jinghao had instructed them to be respectful towards Chen Xiaobei, to requite him and not insult him.
The Miao family were no fools either. When they saw the Wenren family acting respectfully towards Chen Xiaobei, they did the same.
"Mr. Chen, I trust you have been well since we last met!" Miao Yuyue made the initiative to start a conversation with Chen Xiaobei.
Miao Yiyue and Wenren Muyue were childhood best friends, thus it was only expected that he would be traveling with her.
But they were not lovers. Due to Wenren Muyue's strange sickness, Miao Yiyue had never made any romantic advances.
"I'm very good. How have you been, Master Miao?" Chen Xiaobei said politely.
"Sigh, don't even talk about it. I've been in seclusion, trying to break through my cultivation. But you know how difficult it is. I don't see even a single ray of hope."
Chen Xiaobei smiled. "One can never rush through any cultivation. Rushing it might bring you side effects that you would never wish for! Take some time out and go on an adventure. You might be greeted with a golden opportunity!"
Chen Xiaobei and Miao Yiyue had only met twice, but he had not left any good impression thus far.
Even if he had Skybreaking Cultivation pills, Chen Xiaobei would not just give them to Miao Yiyue.
"Golden opportunity? Luck is unreliable! These are excuses made up by weaklings!"
Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice boomed from behind them.
About hundreds of people were marching towards them.
The person who had spoken was standing in front, his tone arrogant and his words thick with hostility.
The idiot was none other than Lu Changwei.
The hundred men behind him were his lackeys and his lackeys' cousin brothers.
This large group of people appeared to be very intimidating. The people around them all retreated, fearful to be standing in their way.
Even the West Temple Miao Family's heir, Miao Yiyue, dared not retort Lu Changwei's insult.
Wenren Muyue looked at him with hatred in her eyes.
"Let's go. Ignore these people!"
Miao Yiyue and Wenren Muyue knew how powerful Lu Changwei was. If they ever butt heads with this group of people, they were going to have a hard time during the Elite Hunting Competition.
Thus, they chose to retreat.
However, they forgot that they had the never-yielding Chen Xiaobei with them.
"Speaking about golden opportunities, this is purely a question of luck! What does that have to do with effort?" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "Master Lu, the grapes you don't get to taste are sour grapes, isn't it? Why are you such a sour puss?"
"You..." Lu Changwei opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. His face was bright red and it was beginning to sting.
The thousands of people who witnessed it dared not discuss it aloud, but they criticised Lu Changwei behind his back.
They were also shocked at the same time by Chen Xiaobei's audacity to insult the North Temple Lu family's heir. How insanely cool!
Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue were startled. When they saw Lu Changwei's deflated face, they were secretly delighted and chuffed, giving Chen Xiaobei 32 likes!
During this awkward moment, Zhu Dachang stepped in and tried to salvage the situation, "It's not that our Master Wei couldn't taste the grapes, he doesn't even need to eat it at all! He is after all the strongest young Silver Plume young elite! His cultivation precedes him!"
That was true: Lu Changwei was at the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation, an 180,000-combat power elite.
Behind him, the three heirs of the other Star Temple families were all only at the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation with 130,000 combat power.
Even the governor's son Dong Xiaowu only had 100,000 combat power.
Even though Wenren Muyue had 180,000 combat power, at her current health condition, she would not be able to last long enough in a battle.
Thus, the reason why Lu Changwei had secured the throne as first place amongst the younger generation.
"So, has Master Wei come here to show off his cultivation?" Chen Xiaobei's voice was thick with contempt.
"Show off his cultivation? Our young master is not that childish!" Lu Changwei turned to look at Miao Yiyue and Wenren Muyue and said, "I came here to invite the Wen family and the Miao family to join my team!"
"Invite us to join?" Miao Yiyue blinked. "There's no need for that! We are not on par, what's the point of teaming up?"
"I'm with Bro Yue! I won't be joining you either!" Wenren Muyue immediately expressed.
"Don't decline just yet! Listen to what I have to say first!" Lu Changwei confidently said. "Before you guys, I've already invited the East Temple Qin family, the North Temple Wei family, and the capital. They will be arriving soon!"
"Why did you invite so many people? This is a hunt, not a war!" Miao Yiyue frowned.
Before Lu Changwei could answer, Chen Xiaobei already had a hunch what the answer was!
