He could completely understand Chen Xin's behavior.
Because if it were him, he would never rashly provoke such a person unless absolutely necessary.
"He said his name is Zhu Chen," Chen Xin replied slowly after staring at the direction Zhu Chen had left for a long time.
"But I don't know him."
"Zhu Chen?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned, carefully searching his memory.
He tried recalling all the powerful figures on the Douluo Continent, yet he could not think of a single Title Douluo with that name.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly remembered something.
She turned to Ning Fengzhi in surprise and asked,
"Dad, didn't I hear that Spirit Hall has a Fifth Elder who is already over ninety years old but still looks like a child? Could the one who just came to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School be that Fifth Elder?"
"It can't be Light Feather Douluo," Gu Rong said firmly.
"That man's soul power is only one level higher than mine. He definitely wouldn't give me that kind of pressure."
Chen Xin, his expression serious, continued,
"Although he isn't Light Feather Douluo, he is definitely connected to Spirit Hall."
Gu Rong turned to look at him.
"Why do you say that? Did he tell you something?"
"Yes," Chen Xin nodded solemnly.
"He gave me a piece of advice, as thanks for helping him comprehend the sword Dao."
"What advice?"
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong asked almost at the same time.
Chen Xin looked at them sharply, his expression complicated.
"He advised us to distance ourselves from the Clear Sky Sect as soon as possible…"
"And warned us not to choose the wrong side."
…
Perfect World.
After returning from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and gaining insight into the sword Dao, Zhu Chen immediately began comprehending the Grass Character Sword Technique inside his celestial carriage.
This comprehension lasted an entire day and night.
By noon the next day—
the celestial carriage Zhu Chen was riding landed automatically outside the gates of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
Today happened to be the day the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was recruiting new disciples.
At this moment, many cultivators had gathered outside the gates.
Most of them had arrived on foot.
Only scions of powerful families were escorted by elders or traveled in carriages.
The celestial carriage Zhu Chen rode was considered a top-tier vehicle in the Desolate Region.
Before Zhu Chen even stepped down, it immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Look! Another one with a carriage!"
"That carriage is top-grade. I heard it can travel a hundred thousand li in a single day. Only royalty or major clans can afford that."
"Hmph, just spoiled brats relying on family resources to cultivate. I hate people like that the most."
"You can't say that. I heard that the double-pupiled Shi Yi also rode in a carriage like this when he came last time…"
The crowd whispered among themselves.
However, what was spoken casually struck a nerve in someone nearby.
When the name Shi Yi, the double-pupiled one, was mentioned—
a ragged little beggar in the crowd immediately showed a defiant expression.
"Tch! What's so great about someone with double pupils? Just wait—I'll beat him up!"
The speaker was none other than Shi Hao, who had come to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion to seek a master.
On his return from the Second Ancestral Land last time, he had encountered Xia Youyu, a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
Because Shi Hao displayed astonishing talent, Xia Youyu gifted him a Genius Token.
Shi Hao had originally hesitated about whether to join this "cheap sect."
However, considering Shi Qingfeng's situation, and after hearing that Shi Yi was also cultivating here, he ultimately chose this place.
As for why he was disguised—
it was because he had offended far too many people in the Void God Realm last time.
He feared others would come looking for trouble.
He wasn't afraid for himself, but he didn't want his companions to be implicated.
"Little brother, is that double-pupiled person really that powerful? Everyone seems to admire him so much,"
Shi Qingfeng whispered as he followed behind Shi Hao.
"Powerful my ass!"
Shi Hao snorted.
"If we're talking about real power, Zhu Chen—the one who came to our village before—is far stronger."
"I heard from Liu Shen that his cultivation talent and opportunities are so terrifying that even Liu Shen herself can't fully measure them."
As he spoke, a faint fighting spirit ignited deep within Shi Hao's eyes.
"But I won't admit defeat."
"When he left Stone Village, Liu Shen said he had already opened six cave heavens."
"Look at me now—I've opened five cave heavens."
"If we really fought, I might not necessarily lose to him!"
