At this critical moment, Xie Wanran happened to appear.

"Miss Wanran, sorry, we're late." Zhao Hao was too strong. Pan Dahai's back was almost wet with cold sweat. Seeing this figure, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly met him and said.

With Xie Wanran here, I believe that even Zhao Hao would not dare to do it casually, otherwise he would not give his master face.

"Fortunately, I'm just going to start the meal, but it hasn't really started the meal." Xie Wanran obviously dressed up carefully today, wearing a pink long dress, light makeup and gorgeous clothes, bright and charming. She smiled and then turned around to greet Zhao Hao and others: "Zhao Hao, you are here too."

I have to say that this Xie family pearl is indeed very charming, especially for teenagers of the same age. This smile made Zhao Hao and others lit up their eyes.

Especially Zhao Hao, his heart became restless, and even his murderous aura disappeared completely. He quickly filled his face with a smile and said, "Yes, because I want to choose a good gift for Wanran, so I'm late."

"Haha, let's talk about it all." Xie Wanran looked at Li Qing, and saw that the latter had not spoken, quickly turned around and smiled, then walked in front to lead the way.

"Okay, let's all go in." Zhao Hao naturally didn't mean Xie Wanran, so he nodded and followed, but when he passed by Li Qing, he still whispered: "Today I'm letting you go for the sake of Wanran, but you won't have a good end if you offend me, Zhao Hao. Be a dog? When you can't even make a living after graduation, you can't say this."

After saying that, he walked to the front with a smile and got close to Xie Wanran.

Zhao Xing and others followed immediately, their eyes showing threats to Li Qing.

"A Qing, a hero is not suffering from the loss in front of him. Zhao Hao is powerful, so why do you have to fight him head-on? Fortunately, Miss Wanran arrived in time, otherwise we would be miserable." Seeing the lucky few people, Pan Dahai said to Li Qing in a low voice with some concern.

"I can't do it if I want me to be humble to such people." Li Qing shook his head. He was like the arrogant bamboo he drew in his pen, and he would rather break than bend. Moreover, he could sell money through painting, so he didn't have to worry about making a living.

The night is getting higher and the whole Xie family is full of bright lights tonight.

The ancient family of Cangyun City is indeed extraordinary. The design and decoration are grand and elegant. The small pavilions and elegant buildings are built, the bamboo forest and plum garden, and the buildings look unique and show their heritage.

Li Qing and Pan Dahai had never seen these big players. Li Qing was fine. Although he was surprised, he did not show it. Pan Dahai's eyes were bright and he kept amazement.

In fact, what was mainly surprised by Li Qing was the strength of the Xie family. He found that it was the guard in front of the gate. Judging from his qi and blood, he was at least at the seventh level of body refining. One of the guard captains who greeted Xie Wanran, he probably had his strength even surpassed the body refining realm and was a martial artist in the Qi-enhancing realm.

When the soul of the body has been cultivated to a very powerful level, it can become a container for containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, that is, to reach the second level of martial arts. It is a realm that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as its own power. The martial artists in the Qi-enhancing realm are boundless in every move. In Cangyun City, they can barely be said to be a master, and even the teaching tutors in Cangyun Martial Arts Academy have not all reached this level.

After walking for a while, I arrived at an elegant villa. Judging from the careful decoration of the site, this place should be where Xie Wanran’s birthday dinner was held tonight.

This place has been beautifully decorated, and special Taoist lamps have been lit in the center. Unlike ordinary oil lamps, this kind of Taoist lamp is said to be fueled by burning Taoist talismans. The huge yard can be illuminated like daytime only if one is a lamp.

"I'm very happy that you can come to Wanran's birthday party. This is the place to hold the banquet tonight. Everyone can do whatever they want." Xie Wanran introduced with a smile.

"Li Qing, the painting exhibition will be held after the dinner. You and Dahai will sit first, don't be too restrictive." She also said to Li Qing and Pan Dahai specifically.

"We will do it, Miss Wanran, thank you for inviting us to come. I wish Miss Wanran a happy birthday. This is my little concern for A Qing and I." Pan Dahai said with a hurried smile, and gave him his gift, and specially brought Li Qing's name.

"Congratulations to Miss Wanran, but this is actually a gift from Dahai. I have been busy with cultivation, so I did not prepare a gift. Please forgive me." Li Qing knew that Pan Dahai was helping him, and was a little moved, but he still clarified.

"A Qing." Seeing some playful and disdainful gazes around, Pan Dahai quickly pulled Li Qing.

"It's okay, I'm very happy that Li Qing, you can come." Xie Wanran smiled, not minding at all. She looked at Pan Dahai's gift, which was a peach wood comb, which was quite dignified. She also said thankfully: "Thank you, Dahai, I like this comb very much."

"It's good if Miss Wanran likes it, it's not a valuable gift..." Pan Dahai seemed shy.

"Who is this boy? He didn't even give gifts, but he treated Miss Wanran so politely." Many people looked at Li Qing with curious eyes.

"Wan Ran, this is the body refining pill I bought for you in the Dan Pavilion, which is very beneficial to the practice of the body refining realm." At this moment, Zhao Hao walked up with a smile and took out his gift, and deliberately increased his voice, which immediately attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings.

Pills are not something that ordinary people can afford. Some people who have been to the Dan Pavilion know that this body refining pill is worth tens of thousands of silver. Even as the children of the four major families, they probably need to save a long time to buy it.

This is a valuable gift. After all, before becoming a minor, even people from the four major families would have no way to make money.

After giving the gift, Zhao Hao looked at Li Qing proudly, intending to warn him and also disdain, wanting the other party to know the difference with him.

However, Xie Wanran did not have the expression he had imagined. When she received the gift, she pushed it back and said, "Zhao Hao, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"This is my intention. If Wanran doesn't accept it, I will feel uneasy." Zhao Hao said with a graceful smile.

"Then thank you." Xie Wanran hesitated for a moment, took the gift and handed it to the maid beside her, and then said, "Wanran has to greet other elders, Zhao Hao, you can do it yourself."

"That's it?" Looking at Xie Wanran's back, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment. Pan Dahai could get a very liked comment. Even Li Qing didn't give anything to Xie Wanran, and he expressed his happiness. He gave such a precious gift and only got a neither salty nor light thank you!

He spared no expense and wanted to win the favor of the beauty, but this result made him very dissatisfied. Especially when he watched Pan Dahai and Li Qing, two rural guys swaying in front of him, he made him angry.

However, he obviously couldn't get angry on such occasions, but his jealousy towards Li Qing deepened.

Li Qing himself naturally would not care about Zhao Hao's thoughts. In fact, he could see that Xie Wanran had no interest in this so-called top ten geniuses of Cangyun Martial Arts Academy.

What's more, Xie Wanran is not very talented. As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, the Xie family specially held her a birthday party today, which shows that her status at home is not lacking in cultivation of spiritual medicine. Therefore, although body refining pills are expensive, she may not take it seriously. Zhao Hao is purely showing a wrong relationship, and it is normal that he cannot get favor.

On the contrary, Xie Wanran knew about Pan Dahai and Li Qing's situation, and even felt that giving a comb was sincere.

Here, Li Qing and Pan Dahai didn't know anyone, but just found a corner to sit down. However, Pan Dahai usually likes to inquire and knows many people from Cangyun Martial Arts Academy.

"Miss Wanran has such a great reputation. This time, half of the top ten geniuses from our Cangyun Martial Arts Academy have arrived. In addition, Miss Wanran has six in half of her body, only four of them have not come." Pan Dahai's small eyes swept across the audience and whispered to Li Qing:

"Among our martial arts academy's top ten geniuses, Zhao Hao is actually only ranked ninth. He also has a brother from the same clan named Zhao Huang. His strength has reached the ninth level of body refining, ranking second, and he has not come today. Wang Sheng from the Wang family of the four major families is said to have reached the peak of the ninth level of body refining, and is only one line away from the Qi-enlightenment realm. He is the undisputed first genius, but he has not come either."

"Among those who came, the most powerful one was Han Zhuang, who ranked third in the top ten geniuses, and he was also a master of the ninth level of body refining. It is worth mentioning that he is not from the four major families. But don't look at this person smiling all day long and looking harmless. I heard that he was very cruel in private and had killed people."

Hearing Pan Dahai's introduction, Li Qing also raised his head and looked at Hanzhuang. He was dressed in white and had fair skin, like a scholar. At this moment, the other party actually looked over with some emotion and showed him a seemingly soft smile.

Li Qing didn't want to attract too much attention, so he quickly turned his head and pretended not to see it.

Then Pan Dahai introduced all the top ten geniuses of Cangyun Martial Arts Academy who were present, and Li Qing then got to know him. He usually devoted himself to cultivation, but many people really didn't know him.

"Each of these geniuses has at least the strength of the seventh level of body refining, and is much stronger than me. Although Xie Wanran is ranked tenth, I feel that her strength is not only that, at least stronger than Zhao Hao." At the same time, he felt a little stressed after listening to the introduction.

In Cangyun Martial Arts Academy, after all, the age limit is there, and most of them are teenagers, so there are few students who are above the seventh level of body refining, and it is even rarer to reach the eighth level of body refining, and the ninth level of body refining can be called a super genius.

He just broke through to the sixth level of body refining. Although he was stable in the middle stage, it was still far from enough. What's more, compared with these top ten geniuses, his martial arts experience is much worse in all aspects. Even if he reaches the peak of the seventh level of body refining, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with the same position.
