That person's words put a lot of pressure on Wan Lei.

Admittedly, he, Wan Lei, was indeed ranked as the number one genius in Qishan Prefecture. Even when encountering a Jindan (Core Formation) realm expert, he would dare to fight head-on.

However, Qishan Prefecture was just a small prefecture within Lanning Kingdom, and Lanning Kingdom was just a remote small country in the northwest of the Leifeng Continent.

Here, he was very powerful, but in the Central Region, fifteen-year-olds at the middle stage of Jindan were probably countless.

So many large families and powerful forces, so many resources, how could the small Wan family compare?

Although the pressure was great, Wan Lei was not discouraged or retreated. He had strong confidence in himself.

Wan Lei could cultivate from having no cultivation at all to the middle stage of Jindan in more than two months. How could he not make any progress in the next three months?

What he was more worried about now was that he couldn't accidentally break through to the Yuanying (Nascent Soul) realm. If that happened, he wouldn't be qualified to participate in the competition, and he wouldn't be able to go to the great sects of the Central Region.

"Young Master Lei... Young Master Lei!"

Just as Wan Lei's thoughts drifted far away, the voice of the person at the registration desk pulled him back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Well... your registration is complete. Can you make some room? Those few fools behind you finally plucked up the courage to come and get themselves killed. I have to quickly complete their procedures, otherwise, what if they run away later?"

Hearing this, the three Jindan cultivators scurried back into the crowd.

Too scary, I'm not going.

Wan Lei looked at the figures of the three fleeing and then at the person at the registration desk.

"You're really a chat master."

The person lowered his head, a subtle bitter smile flashing across his face, and quickly returned to his frivolous appearance.

There were only so many young Jindan cultivators in Qishan Prefecture; they couldn't all go to their deaths.

Before, he was flamboyant and exaggerated in calling people over; that was his job responsibility.

To exaggerate the high casualty rate of the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition, subtly trying to persuade young people to quit, was his conscience.

"Let's go, Young Master Lei, let's continue shopping."

Sui Xiaohang patted Wan Lei's shoulder.

"By the way, Tian Suanzi, you also meet the requirements, right? Aren't you signing up? Let's participate together in the future, so we can have a companion."

"I'm not going. With my cultivation, it's not very useful there. Besides, I already have a master. Although it's not as good as the nine peak powers, it's not bad. I can't betray my master and go to another power, can I?"

Tian Suanzi waved his hand and said.

"Okay then."

The group of four left the crowd. Under the gaze of the onlookers, Wan Lei tactfully put away his swaggering gait, led the group around a street corner, and avoided the gazes of the onlookers.

"Tian Suanzi, how much do you know about this Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition? Like the rules or something."

"I don't know, I'm not sure. I've never left the Lanning region, and I've only heard of the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition.

After all, it's only held once every hundred years, and I'm only twenty-four years old this year."

"You call that twenty-four years old? What the hell did you eat growing up? To me, you look at least forty-two years old."

Hearing this, Tian Suanzi's eyes widened: "This Daoist has traveled north and south, seen all the vicissitudes of life, so he looks a bit old.

Besides, if I looked like a young man, it would be difficult for people to believe me when I tell fortunes, so I try to make myself look older."

"Wan Lei, Tianqian Zhe (Scourge of Heaven) also has branches in the prefecture city. Why don't I go ask for you? It's good to have an idea."

See, how dutiful祁曼瑶 (Qi Manyao), this little intelligence agent, is.

"Okay, let's go together then."

"No, the location of Tianqian Zhe's branch cannot be known to anyone. Besides, you are still a target of Tianqian Zhe. If you go in, are you going to your death?"

Qi Manyao said very seriously with her big eyes open.

"Just kidding. Manyao, you go, we'll go to... the restaurant ahead and wait for you."

Qi Manyao left, and Wan Lei and the others went to the restaurant ahead, ordered a few side dishes, and asked for three pots of wine. They found a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down.

In the morning, he saw two senior experts sitting upstairs in the mutton soup restaurant, chatting and laughing, with an aura of being a great hermit hiding in the city.

He envied this feeling of invisible pretense.

He wanted to imitate it.

Although he was not a senior expert, he was a god in his previous life, a person of high status and authority, so he could naturally exude an aura of being aloof.

It's a pity that no one appreciated it.

The only two audiences...

"The cucumber salad is too plain, waiter, bring a braised pork knuckle."

"How can you drink without fried peanuts? Bring a plate of peanuts too."

"Alas, this wine is not good. It's not as good as Drunken Immortal Brew. I wonder if they sell it in the prefecture city."

Wan Lei looked at the two lummoxes with contempt and coughed.

"I hope that at this grand meeting, which gathers geniuses from the entire Leifeng Realm, I can meet her again."

Sui Xiaohang quickly put down his wine glass and cooperated as a straight man in a comedy duo.

"Who?"

"Since my debut, I have always been invincible, but only when I met her did I draw once. I'm not reconciled.

At this grand meeting, she will not be absent. When I meet her again, I will definitely defeat her completely!"

Hearing this, Sui Xiaohang and Tian Suanzi also knew who he was talking about.

"Oh, you're talking about her. I thought you were talking about Wan Liuchuan. By the way, is that girl pretty? I haven't seen her yet."

"In the future, when you go to the Central Region, you may have a chance to see her.

She... how should I put it, she is very beautiful, but she is too arrogant, like an iceberg."

"Hey, Young Master Lei, you don't understand, the most flavorful thing is to tame a wild horse, hahaha."

"What wild horse?"

A delicate shout came from downstairs.

Wan Lei and the others leaned out of the window and saw Qi Manyao frowning downstairs.

"Oh, Manyao, you're back so early. We've only finished three pots of wine."

Wan Lei smiled awkwardly.

It wasn't that a man was embarrassed to be discovered by his wife chatting about beautiful women outside; he simply felt that it was inappropriate to talk about another beautiful woman behind a beautiful woman's back.

Qi Manyao flew up to the second floor, sat down, poured herself a glass of wine, and wore a playful smile on her face.

"You haven't said yet, what wild horse?"

"A wild horse is... a special product of the Qishan Mountains. It runs very fast, but it is very difficult to tame."

"Oh, you cultivators still ride horses?"

"Yes... yes, it's not easy to tame, so you ride that kind of horse. You have to have a horse in your eyes, but no horse in your heart."

"Yes, yes, it's better to be an unmounted infantryman. It's not good to have a horse."

"Come, come, come, drink, drink."

"By the way, Manyao, did you find out about the Ten Thousand Pride Ranking competition?"

Seeing that they were vague and talking nonsense that she didn't understand, Qi Manyao didn't bother with them anymore.

Men, it's normal to talk about women when they chat and drink together.
