"Hello, I am Luo Jin."
Luo Jin took the initiative to show goodwill.
Xiao Luobing ignored him: "Get lost, you're in my way."
Luo Jin hesitated, feeling awkward and a bit embarrassed.
Xiao Luobing looked at Luo Jin, still standing in front of her, and coldly t his gaze: "Tang Yan is my best friend."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin's expression turned gloomy, and he turned around and left.
Xiao Luobing snorted disdainfully and didn't bother with the departing Luo Jin, instead stepping forward and inspecting Li Feng intently with her beautiful eyes.
"You must be Li Feng?"
Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue glanced over. Could Li Feng be connected to Xiao Luobing, the most beautiful woman of the Ancient Martial Ten Families?
Mo Fan was also full of resentnt.
This guy has Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue hanging around him all day, and now even another beauty seems to have so connection to him; this is just too much.
Li Feng looked at the ethereal but extrely aloof Xiao Luobing: "I don't think I know you?"
Xiao Luobing snorted coldly.
"You're right not to know , but I know you. Xiao He is my second grandfather and your grandfather."
Li Feng blinked.
The Xiao Family was indeed Li Feng's grandfather's family, but there was so estrangent between his grandfather and the Xiao Family, and he rarely spoke of them.
When Li Feng last ca to Kunlun, he photographed an ancient prescription, using the Xiao Family to deal with the Lin Family, but he didn't directly show his face.
As for reinstating family ties, that was even more unlikely.
Li Feng's grandfather has not returned to the Xiao Family, so Li Feng naturally has no connection to them. It was unexpected that Xiao Ruobing would co to acknowledge kinship.
"So, you're my cousin then."
Li Feng said.
Xiao Luobing chuckled.
"You're mistaken; I'm not here to acknowledge kinship. I just heard my grandfather ntion you, and happened to hear your na, so I ca to have a look."
"To actually beco a live-in son-in-law, you're lucky to have half of our Xiao Family bloodline in you."
Great.
This wasn't about kinship, it was about picking a fight.
Li Feng smiled faintly, looking at Xiao Luobing: "If you just ca here to look down on , then you've achieved your goal. Is there anything else you wish to teach?"
Xiao Luobing didn't expect Li Feng to still be able to smile, indeed he was shaless.
"You really have thick skin, no wonder you and Luo Jin have similar tastes, both being birds of a feather. Also, I'm here to remind you to stop using my second grandfather's na, and to definitely stop associating with the Xiao Family. My Xiao Family cannot afford this embarrassnt."
Xiao Luobing finished speaking to herself and briskly walked away.
Li Feng was very embarrassed; Li Nianqing and Chen Xiaoyue turned to look at Li Feng, snickering secretly.
"Is it funny?"
"Isn't it?"
"I thought the top beauty of Ancient Martial liked you, but unexpectedly... unexpectedly she is your cousin and gave you a scolding for no reason."
The two won held their stomachs, laughing uproariously.
Li Feng was speechless; he never had any connection with the Xiao Family. After living with his grandfather for over ten years, his grandfather never took him to the Xiao Family.
"Alright, let's stop laughing. Let's not just stand around, let's move around a bit. As they say, know your enemy, whether friends or foes, it's good to know them a bit."
Li Nianqing suggested.
"These sorts of things are not my strength, I'll leave it to you."
Chen Xiaoyue directly refused; her nature made her uncomfortable with pretending to be friendly, which was difficult for her, and Mo Fan also shook his head vigorously, his emotional intelligence wasn't great either, as for Xiang Tian, he had no interest in doing such things.
Seeing this, Li Feng could only look at Li Nianqing.
"Looks like it's just the two of us, let's go."
Li Feng and Li Nianqing held their wine glasses and started moving around; Li Feng knew the importance of knowing oneself and knowing the other, and he was too unfamiliar with the Ancient Martial World, so it was a good opportunity to learn more.
Li Nianqing was beside him, intermittently introducing people she had seen to Li Feng, even if so were new to her she had heard certain reputations or rumors.
Though these things might not be entirely true, they were still sowhat valuable as reference.
The gathering lasted until midnight, with everyone eating and drinking their fill and achieving their purposes, finally dispersing after Wu Daozi announced they would need to wake early to head to Kunlun, then each returned to their accommodations for rest.
"Gained anything?"
As Li Feng and others walked to the temporary residence, Chen Xiaoyue asked.
"t lots of people, got familiar faces; as for gains, yes, there are so ─ at least so people need watching out for."
Li Feng answered.
"Hmm, once inside Kunlun Void, besides our small group, everyone else requires caution."
Chen Xiaoyue straightforwardly said.
"Therefore, there's no real need to waste ti socializing with them. Without understanding them, how could one trust them enough to turn one's back?"
Li Feng glanced at Chen Xiaoyue, this woman was indeed brusque, but after so much interaction he was used to it.
"What Xiaoyue says isn't illogical. Once in Kunlun Void, unless there's no conflict of interest, things can be discussed; but when it cos to interests or even life versus death, these people are unreliable; we're best relying on ourselves."
Li Nianqing said.
"However, we did gain sothing. I noticed that people from the Three Sects, Six Gates, and Ten Families have secretly ford alliances, creating small groups."
"Besides the Top Three Sects, there's also our Mo Yin Sect."
"Are we isolated?"
Mo Fan asked in shock, eyes widening.
"It's not really isolation; it's just that our Mo Yin Sect has always acted independently, with little involvent with other sects and families."
"Naturally, no one approaches us for alliances, and the people from the Top Three Sects are inherently proud, believing themselves strong and not bothering with such tactics."
"I suspect once we enter Kunlun Void, we'll definitely be divided into seven or eight groups, unable to stick together."
Li Nianqing explained.
"Well, it's good not to stick together; being squished together would be uncomfortable anyway. Everybody go and rest; there won't be such leisure later."
Chen Xiaoyue waved her hand.
Li Feng and others each returned to their rooms.
Nothing else was said.
In Nanzhu State, the sun rose around nine or ten in the morning, after having a simple breakfast, at noon, the elites from Three Sects, Six Gates, and Ten Families entered the mountain path, heading to Kunlun.
"People from Ancient Martial Righteous Path have entered the mountains. Are we really letting them pass like that?"
"The Sect Master has already ordered that no one shall act without authorization; the Holy Sect has its arrangents. Ancient Martial Righteous Path sent people into Kunlun Void and plans to target us, pretty shrewd plan, indeed."
"It's just... alas."
Far away at the mountain entrance, watching the ascending group through binoculars, people from Nether Sect coldly sneered.
The ascent took two days, resting once in-between, and though dangerous, the Demon Path people seed to have learned their lesson, with no movent at all.
Although Li Feng and others were sowhat tired, they smoothly entered Kunlun Training Field.
"Kunlun Void opens tomorrow, everyone rest for the night and gather in front of the palace tomorrow."
