The Young Arrow of the Dark-Feather

Yu Wansu's words reminded them of a rule in the competition evaluation: the disciple who entered the section after the Xin grade was allowed to challenge the disciple of Xin, but it must be someone among the top ten of Xin at the end of the evaluation.

In terms of Wei Gaoyuan's real power, Yu Wansu had indeed heard it from Liu Xingfei but half believed in it. So, that was just chaffing words.

Liu Xingfei, on the contrary, had his eyes brightened at once, and said seriously, "Junior brother Wei, I think you should have a try, maybe you can get a place at the list of top ten in our grade."

Wei Gaoyuan shook his head immediately, "Brother and sister, I know you're kidding me, and I know myself. That's too crazy…I would have kicked off the platform by your grade, at the first round~"

In fact, his current strength, even among the Geng disciples, might made himself among the middle rank, let alone the top ten of Xin. However, there were one thousand ways for most talents to die before they'd grown up. That could be found easily in stories in the teahouse.

A sharp sword kept its blade in a scabbard.

To Yu Wansu, his refusal was not a surprise. She never heard some disciple of Gui had been so crazy to challenge anyone in top ten of Xin, though it was within the rules.

Also, Liu Xingfei knew it never happened before, but he believed that Wei Gaoyuan was strong enough to be the first, and earned the fame he deserved in the outer section. Knowing what Wei Gaoyuan was thinking about, he just smiled and patted his junior brother's shoulder.

However, someone seemed not happy as Liu Xingfei.

A voice after a smirk came beside them, "A Gui wanna challenge a Xin? Can a frog at the bottom of a well swallow the sky? Trust me, the sky outside the well was far bigger than its little stomach."

Wei Gaoyuan looked at the direction of the voice. Seven or eight steps away, a young man in a black uniform was looking at him with a scornful look, who was long, thin, like an aggressive blade out of its scabbard.

"Dong Feiye?" Liu Xingfei recognized the man in black, and said with a cold face. " If I remember correctly, Ji Huzhe of Cyan-Feather, Xin grade, couldn't take just one pattern of the frog."

Dong Feiye's face changed suddenly, and sneered coldly, "Ji Huzhe? That waste! Sneaked into the outer section with the help of his family! One pattern of my sword will also let him lie on the ground."

Yu Wansu's face turned dark with anger at once. She also came from a big and wealthy family, and entered the outer section by donation, the same way as Ji Huzhe, and more unfortunately, she was at the same stage as Ji Huzhe.

The difference between her and Ji Huzhe was that she climbed onto the bottom of eighth-level all by hard training step by step, instead of speeding up the cultivation by taking a lot of herbs or drugs. As a result, it should not be tough for her to defeat Ji Huzhe although at the same stage.

Ji Huzhe was a waste, on this point, Liu Xingfei agreed with Dong Feiye whereas he'd noticed Yu Wansu's expression. A girl's explosion of rage was not fuuny. He chuckled, "Right, you're super strong, as a 21-years-old who entered the outer section four years ago."

The sneer froze on Dong Feiye's face. When he passed the trial to begin his first year, he was just at the bottom of ninth-level, impossible to win Ji Huzhe at present, the bottom of eighth-level, even if that was an accelerating waste by herbs

"It means nothing to argue with you! Just talk on the competition platform!" Dong Feiye said calmly, staring at Liu Xingfei.

"As you wish, just teach me something on the platform." Liu Xingfei smiled, walking over the competition platform.

The two men were at the similar stage, who were both selected by the formal trial.

"Junior brothers, a kind reminder for you, you're asking for a private fight," at that time, a voice came, not far away from them.

The voice came from a young man in white, who looked elegant and easy-going. He was good-looking, an appearance of a typical weak intellectual.

"Brother Chu!" Wei Gaoyuan blinked at the young man in white while greeting him with a cupped-fist immediately.

"Brother Yuntian,"Dong Yefei nodded to the young man. "This junior brother of Gui, he wanna have a try, to challenge Xin grade. Then what do you think?"

"Junior brother Wei, don't act like a fool here," Chu Yuntian said to Wei Gaoyuan in a serious tone. "Although you have a good aptitude, and our elder hope you could be No.1 of Gui, it's not a game to challenge Xin grade. What you should do now is to go back, prepare yourself well, and give your best show tomorrow."

"Yes! Brother Chu!" Wei Gaoyuan nodded, behaving like a good-junior-brother.

Dong Feiye glanced at Wei Gaoyuan and turned to Chu Yuntian, "He turns out to be the disciple of your Dark-Feather, and…the Dark-Feather seemed to be pretty confident this year~"

"Aren't you Cyan-Feather pretty confident this year?" Chu Yuntian asked.

Dongfeiye glanced at Wei Gaoyuan again, "Of course we are. But we never speak it out…"

Chu Yuntian's frowned slightly. He raised his head and said in peace, "The Dark-Feather never speak out what we can't do. And never does the arrow of Dark-Feather miss its target."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Dong Feiye looked at Wei Gaoyuan, "I just heard brother Yuntian called you junior brother Wei, so, you are that Wei Gaoyuan, and you must know Junior brother WEI of our Cyan-Feather. Interesting… I'm looking forward to the final result, the result of which 'wei' will fly higher and further?"

( Gaoyuan: "Gao", "高", means "high" in Chinese, and "yuan","远", means "far" in Chinese.)

Before Chu Yuntian was about to speak, Wei Gaoyuan had responded, "Thanks for your concerns, brother Dong, it won't be long before you get the final answer."

"Oh? Don't let me down, young arrow," Dong Feiye gave a sneer on his face, his eyes ranging over all four people around. "Wish to see you soon!"

Then he turned and left.

After Dong Feiye walked away, Chu Yuntian turned his eyes on Wei Gaoyuan, said gravely, "Junior brother Wei, honestly, are you confident in the evaluation this year?"

Personally, Wei Gaoyuan was confident enough. Yet If he made the reply too positive and sure, what would brother Chu think? So, in the same grave look, he just replied, "Brother Chu, don't worry about me… I will try my best to stand on the platform, until the evaluation ends up."

"Haha…"

Liu Xingfei was amused by Wei Gaoyuan's expression. He asked, laughing, "Brother Chu, you're in the same Peak, and you seem to know little about your senior brother's real strength?"

Chu Yuntian shook his head and said, "He's a mystery, never shows his strength in front of us. Usually, the elder gives him guidance in private. Thus we actually have few chances to meet each other."

He did say the truth. Especially since the return after last mission, Wei Gaoyuan had trained by himself most of the time, and rarely showed up even within Dark-Feather Peak. Hence Chu Yuntian met him every ten or even a half month.

"It appears that our junior brother Wei locked himself in for a secret breakthrough~" Liu Xingfei guessed, smiling.

"You seem to know him very well," Chu Yuntian was a little curious. He remembered that the two had cooperated in missions, so he said to Liu Xingfei, "Xingfei, I've boasted about our Peak. So, in order to let me sleep well before the evaluation ends, you could unveil our junior brother 'mystery,' now, could you? "

"Haha…Brother Chu, just have your sound sleep," Liu Xingfei glanced at Wei Gaoyuan, then smiled mysteriously, "even if I can't figure out the exact strength of your junior brother Wei, I believe that he'll be one of the top ten if he could participate in the evaluation of Xin grade…"

"Really?!"Chu Yuntian looked quite shocked, staring at Wei Gaoyuan with his eyes wide open, as if he could have seen the true strength through Wei Gaoyuan's face.

Wei Gaoyuan curled his mouth helplessly as he found it was a simple question but tough to answer.

Yu Wansu, unlike Chu Yuntian, just showed a little surprised in her pretty eyes. Liu Xingfei's remark at the meal after last mission seemed true rather than the alcohol talking. Yet how could a boy of Geng be that strong?

In Chu Yuntian's eyes, Wei Gaoyuan's expression had answered him. He said with a laugh, "Haha…I did overthink it. Well, just enjoy my sleep then say 'congratulations' to junior brother Wei!"
