Outside the Wen Ding Plaza, Li Xuan clasped his fists towards Jian Chi and said, "Brother Jian Chi, see you after the competition." According to the different regions of the Five Domain Spirit Masters, Li Xuan would naturally not be able to stay with Jian Chi afterward.
"Good. I wish Brother Li success in making the list in advance," Jian Chi replied with a smile.
"Brother Jian Chi, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to make the list. All you lack is an opportunity. Alright, I'll be heading over now." Li Xuan glanced at the people from the Southern Region and said with a smile.
After parting ways with Jian Chi, Li Xuan quickened his pace towards the Southern Region. However, he soon spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Yue Fuyao.
"Miss Fuyao, I hope you are well," Li Xuan said with a gentle smile.
"It's you!" Yue Fuyao looked up upon hearing his voice and immediately recognized Li Xuan, her eyes filled with joy. The man beside her, however, frowned. Yue Fuyao, the ice beauty, was actually so enthusiastic towards an outsider.
"Junior Sister Fuyao, who is this?" the man asked with a smile, taking a step forward to stand between Li Xuan and Yue Fuyao.
Yue Fuyao frowned at this. Li Xuan also looked at the man with some surprise. However, out of consideration for Yue Fuyao, Li Xuan did not say much.
"Zhuang Qinggao, I am not your junior sister. Also, my friend and I have something to discuss. Please step aside," Yue Fuyao said coldly.
Zhuang Qinggao's expression turned frosty. Considering Yue Fuyao's identity, he eventually suppressed his anger, but he did not move an inch.
"Miss Fuyao, let's talk over there." Li Xuan glanced at Zhuang Qinggao, then took Yue Fuyao's hand and turned to leave. Yue Fuyao was startled when Li Xuan suddenly took her hand, but she didn't struggle. With a blush, she let Li Xuan lead her away.
"Damn it! He acts so aloof in front of me, but in his heart, he's still a slut!" Seeing that Yue Fuyao didn't struggle at all when Li Xuan took her hand, Zhuang Qinggao's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Li Xuan. Clenching his fist, he turned and headed towards the Sheng Yue Sect.
"Miss Fuyao, are you here for the Five Domain Prodigy Competition?" Li Xuan asked, stopping at a less crowded spot and looking at Yue Fuyao.
"Mm… Mr. Li Xuan, can… can you let go now?" Yue Fuyao's face turned red, and after speaking, she shyly lowered her head.
"Uh, sorry, I forgot." Li Xuan chuckled sheepishly and let go of her hand, secretly thinking that her small hand felt even softer than last time.
"Miss Fuyao, is your sect sending only you?" Li Xuan asked after releasing her hand.
Yue Fuyao shook her head and replied, "Including me, there are thirty-six senior brothers and sisters from our Sheng Yue Sect participating. They are waiting over there. Since I rarely come to the Central Domain, I wanted to look around. I didn't expect to run into Mr. Li Xuan here."
"I see." Li Xuan nodded, then was surprised to find that Yue Fuyao had already reached the peak of the Martial King realm. He remembered that after they parted, Yue Fuyao seemed to be only at the early stage of the Martial King realm.
"By the way, Miss Fuyao, who is leading our Southern Region?" Li Xuan asked after some thought. Li Xuan was completely in the dark about these matters.
Yue Fuyao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Mr. Li Xuan, didn't anyone bring you?"
"I've been in the Central Domain for some time. I only learned about this grand event a few days ago. But after I registered, I didn't know what to do," Li Xuan replied with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is." Yue Fuyao nodded in realization and then said, "The leader of our Southern Region is Sect Master Nan Haotian of the Nan Tian Sect. He is also the Domain Lord of our Southern Region. Mr. Li Xuan can find someone from the Nan Tian Sect later. The Nan Tian Sect has disciples specifically for registration."
After speaking, Yue Fuyao seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "By the way, Mr. Li Xuan, have you found your sister?"
Li Xuan nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
"Junior Sister Fuyao, why are you here? Master has been looking for you for a long time, saying he has something to discuss with you," at that moment, a woman hurried over to Yue Fuyao and Li Xuan.
"Senior Sister Cai Xuan, are we going to gather?" Yue Fuyao asked immediately.
Yue Cai Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Li Xuan curiously and asked, "Junior Sister Fuyao, who is this?"
"Senior Sister Cai Xuan, this is Mr. Li Xuan, who saved me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive today. Mr. Li Xuan, this is my senior sister, Yue Cai Xuan," Yue Fuyao immediately introduced.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, Miss Cai Xuan."
"So you're the one who saved Junior Sister Fuyao. Thank you." Yue Cai Xuan looked at Li Xuan with some curiosity, then nodded, "He looks like a talented young man, and suits our Fuyao…"
"Senior Sister, isn't Master still waiting for us?" Yue Fuyao's face turned red, and she quickly interjected. Before Yue Cai Xuan could speak, she looked at Li Xuan and said, "Mr. Li Xuan, we will be going ahead now."
"Alright." Li Xuan nodded. Seeing this, Yue Fuyao pulled Yue Cai Xuan and hurried away.
"Wait a moment, Junior Sister Fuyao, why are you running?" After running a short distance, Yue Cai Xuan came to her senses and quickly stopped Yue Fuyao. "Oh, I see. Our Junior Sister Fuyao is shy, isn't she."
Yue Fuyao's face turned red, and she said angrily, "Senior Sister, if you talk nonsense again, I won't talk to you."
"Oh my, she's getting flustered," Yue Cai Xuan chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Senior Sister, you're so annoying." Yue Fuyao turned and ran off, but Li Xuan's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"I haven't heard much about this Li Xuan, but judging by his appearance, he is quite a match for our junior sister," Yue Cai Xuan smiled and nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, after Yue Fuyao and Yue Cai Xuan left, Li Xuan asked someone nearby for directions to the Nan Tian Sect and headed over.
"You are Li Xuan?" Nan Jiangli said with a look of joy upon seeing Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, but he was curious why this old man was so excited to see him.
"The Sect Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Young friend, please follow me." Nan Jiangli said, then gestured for Li Xuan to go first.
Although Li Xuan was puzzled, he eventually followed.
"Sect Master, this is Mr. Li Xuan." Soon, the two arrived at a pavilion. Nan Jiangli bowed respectfully to Nan Haotian, then stood up and said.
"I am Li Xuan, greetings Sect Master Nan." The person Nan Jiangli addressed as Sect Master was likely Nan Haotian. Li Xuan sensed him slightly and was surprised. Nan Haotian had the aura of a Half-Saint. It seemed the Southern Region was not as insignificant as people said.
"Did you really destroy the Li Huo Sect?" Nan Haotian asked curiously after appraising Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "It was indeed destroyed, but it was an elder of mine who took action."
Nan Haotian and Nan Jiangli exchanged glances, their eyes filled with complex emotions. When they arrived in the Central Domain, they had already learned that the Li Huo Sect had been destroyed. Now that Li Xuan confirmed it, it was impossible for them to be unmoved.
"Young friend, do you have confidence in entering the top ten of the Five Domain Prodigy Competition this time?" Nan Haotian asked after a moment of silence.
Nan Jiangli was startled. Top ten? The Sect Master's expectations seemed a bit too high. If Li Xuan had destroyed the Li Huo Sect, he could even be first. However, it was not Li Xuan who took action. Entering the top ten was incredibly difficult, a fact Nan Jiangli understood deeply.
Li Xuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know if I have confidence, but I only know one thing: no one has yet been able to block a single sword strike from me."
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Nan Haotian and Nan Jiangli were both stunned. Such arrogant words! However, seeing Li Xuan's calm expression, they fell silent. If it were true, then the Southern Region had found a huge dark horse this time.
Nan Haotian's eyes gleamed with joy at this thought, and he laughed heartily, "Our Southern Region can finally turn things around! Young friend, if you can enter the top thirty, I will give you an Earth-grade spirit sword. If you enter the top ten, I will fulfill any request you have!"
Li Xuan looked at Nan Haotian with some surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I must take this seriously."
