Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 840: Chapter 838: Really Don’t Want to Be First

Bai Jie gazed impassively: ”Liking someone has no reason; if you need a reason, Junior Brother Xu being more handsome than you—is that enough?”

Pfft!

Lu Chenfeng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He already disliked Xu Wendong, let alone when Bai Jie said in front of him that Xu Wendong was more handsome than he was!

This was simply a slap to his face!

He looked at Xu Wendong in a fit of rage and yelled, ”Xu, do you dare to duel with me?”

Xu Wendong sighed, ”Senior Brother Lu, even if I agree to duel with you, what is the point? I’m just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Would winning against me really bring you glory?”

”I...” Lu Chenfeng was left speechless.

Indeed!

He was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he won, others would say he bullied the weak.

Xu Wendong continued, ”Senior Brother Lu, matters of the heart can’t be forced. Why hold onto feelings for Senior Sister Bai?”

”You just haven’t met the right person at the right time!”

Lu Chenfeng clenched his fists: ”Then after you solidify your pill, do you dare to duel with me?”

Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”Anytime!”

”Alright, I’ll wait for you to solidify your pill,” Lu Chenfeng said. ”Even if I lose in matters of love, I will surpass you in strength!” With that, he walked out in large strides.

”Senior Sister, let’s go for a stroll in the city!” Xu Wendong affectionately took Bai Jie’s hand, wanting to see the bustling life here.

Just as they stepped out of the courtyard, Xia An’an, dressed in a light pink dress with an outstanding temperament and celestial aura, came towards them: ”Senior Sister Bai, Junior Brother Xu, let me join you for the city stroll!”

Behind her, Yang Fan had a crestfallen look.

He had hoped to accompany Xia An’an around the city, but who knew she would go with Xu Wendong again.

He felt very displeased.

”Since Junior Sister wants to, let’s all go together!” Bai Jie showed a gentle smile. She had always known Xia An’an liked Xu Wendong. Although they had a period of ignoring each other, looking like strangers, it was just a spat.

Now, they had reconciled.

This gave her a premonition.

Soon, their bed would have a new little junior sister.

Xia An’an was overjoyed and glanced back at Yang Fan.

Seeing Xia An’an look back, a hopeful light flashed in Yang Fan’s eyes. If Junior Sister let him follow, he wouldn’t mind.

At that moment, Xia An’an voiced, ”Senior Brother Yang, help me replace the sandalwood in my room with agarwood.”

”······”

Yang Fan was dumbfounded and froze on the spot.

By the time he regained his senses, Xu Wendong and the other two were already far away.

Moreover.

He could clearly see that Junior Sister was holding Xu Wendong’s arm.

Yes, Junior Sister was holding Xu Wendong’s right arm.

And Senior Sister was holding Xu Wendong’s left arm.

”Heavens, why is this guy’s luck with women so good?” Yang Fan was heartbroken, as Xia An’an and Bai Jie were known as the two beauties of the Elixir Sect.

Now, the two flowers were stuck on a dung heap.

He felt it was very unjust.

------

Jingdu was bustling.

In the main thoroughfare of the city, a crowd thronged, with cries of vendors punctuating the lively scene.

Even Xu Wendong found it bustling, let alone Bai Jie and Xia An’an, the two cultivators who usually did not come to such places.

They shopped relentlessly.

Especially with the sight of beautiful clothes, each bought more than ten sets.

After strolling in the city for over a shichen, the three found a hotel, had a hearty meal, and then returned to their dwelling.

”You three came back just in time; it’s about to get to the main event!” A young man named Shen Cheng smiled slightly; he was Xia Hou’s second disciple, the second senior brother of the Elixir Sect, possessing a cultivation of the second layer of the Golden Core Stage.

Wuming directly led them to the Heaven Supervision Department Dungeon.

The place was brightly lit.

It was filled with many guards.

The guards were very strong, the weakest had peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, and among them were some Golden Core experts.

Their expressions were solemn, each with cold eyes, and their bodies exuded a murderous aura.

Besides them.

Xu Wendong also saw some old acquaintances.

Such as Chu and Zhu Qing from the Jade Maiden Palace.

They were shocked to see Xu Wendong because the last time they saw him, he was only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

And now, he had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment cultivation.

How could one not be shocked?

Equally surprised were the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion; they did not expect Xu Wendong to participate in the Great Tournament of the Four Great Sects, nor did they expect this young man’s progress to be so rapid!

Even though they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe the scene in front of them.

Apart from the Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion, the heavenly beauty senior sisters from Jade Maiden Palace, and the disciples from Heaven Scripture Academy, all dressed in white robes, smiling gently, exuded a scholarly demeanor.

Though they exuded a gentle and refined aura, Xu Wendong could clearly sense that each of them possessed formidable strength.

It was like an unsheathed sharp sword, once drawn, it was bound to be bloodstained.

Meanwhile.

A white-robed old man eerily appeared under the night sky.

He was white-haired, with long locks waving gently in the wind, giving an ethereal and transcendent feeling, as if he had distanced himself from the mundane world, merged with heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this person, Xu Wendong’s heart trembled suddenly.

He felt a powerful pressure.

Moreover, since this person was not standing on a flying sword, Xu Wendong concluded.

This person was a Nascent Soul Stage expert!

After all, only Nascent Soul Stage experts could traverse the sky at will, whereas even those at the Golden Core Stage had to rely on flying swords for air travel.

”Greetings, Senior Yuan Kui!”

The leading elders of the Four Great Sects led their disciples in salutations.

Unperturbed, Yuan Kui responded with an ”hm”: ”Another ten-year competition; I wonder if this one will be any more interesting.”

He seemed like an examiner, having overseen every ten-year tournament, initially finding it intriguing, but now all his interest had been worn down.

Because every tournament result seemed fixed, lacking any suspense.

The Sword Pavilion Elder Jian Chi laughed: ”Indeed, every tournament is so dull; our Sword Pavilion really doesn’t want to be first!”

The Seven Heroes of Sword Pavilion laughed heartily without scruples.

The reason is simple: the Sword Pavilion had always been first, to the point that they had a sense of loneliness from being so superior.

Conversely, the elders of Heaven Scripture Academy showed discontent since they wished to be first but never could surpass the Sword Pavilion.

The elders of Jade Maiden Palace remained calm; they did not seek fame or gain; the rankings were unimportant to them. What mattered was the opportunity to hone their disciples.

At this moment, Wuming’s voice rang out: ”Since the Sword Pavilion does not wish to be first, this time the first place in the tournament is reserved for our Elixir Sect!”
