MTLNOVEL Chapter 461: Wei Wan'er, Zhao Wuji
Luo Yao shook his head helplessly upon hearing those words.
This stubbornness in the young man, he knew all too well.
Once he had made up his mind, not even ten bulls could pull him back.
He sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then be careful."
"If you encounter any trouble, remember to notify me immediately."
Luo Ze nodded slightly and replied, "Don't worry, I will."
...
In the darkness of night, a lone figure stood on the street.
His gaze swept through the dim night, as if searching for something.
And that figure was naturally Luo Ze, who was determined to search throughout the vast Weiqing City.
Time slipped by.
The night grew deeper.
The pedestrians on the streets had completely vanished.
But Luo Ze was still searching.
His gaze persisted in the dim night, as though seeking something.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
The sky had totally darkened.
Yet Luo Ze was still searching.
His figure appeared somewhat lonely and desolate in the quiet and dim night.
...
About another hour passed.
As the sky grew increasingly dark and the streets nearly emptied of people,
Luo Ze finally sighed somewhat helplessly.
Afterward, he silently walked in the direction of Weiqing City's City Lord's Mansion.
Tomorrow, the Qingyun Rankings would continue.
The competition among the young talents of Weiqing City would still go on.
And he, Luo Ze.
Tomorrow, according to the schedule already arranged, would step onto the martial arts stage.
And have a good competition with those young cultivators from Weiqing City.
...
The next day, at dawn.
With the first ray of dawn light, a figure in a certain room within the City Lord's Mansion slowly stood up.
This figure was naturally Luo Ze from Qingshi City's Luo Family Clan.
He stood up slowly, looking out the window.
Watching the sky transition from dark to light, a slight smile slowly formed on his lips.
"Today is the day I will participate in the competition..."
He whispered to himself, then stepped out of the room.
At this moment, Luo Yao, the Young Master of the Luo Family from Qingshi City, was in that same room, yawning sleepily while calmly watching his brother Luo Ze.
After a moment, Luo Yao felt listless and thus pushed open the tightly shut door, silently leaving the room.
...
As the sky gradually brightened,
Weiqing City, too, started to bustle with activity.
People bustled to and fro on the streets,
Some in groups, some alone.
But their destination was the same: the Qingyun Ranking competition within Weiqing City.
After all, the Qingyun Ranking was an annual grand event in Weiqing City.
For the young talents of Weiqing City, it was an excellent opportunity to showcase themselves.
Those who stood out in the Qingyun Ranking competition would gain countless attention.
Perhaps, they might even receive invitations from sects and factions from Great Wilderness County or even further places.
In that case, they would obtain better cultivation environments and resources.
Thus, they could improve their strength more quickly.
Although, all this was for the young talents within Weiqing City.
But as long as Luo Ze could face a few opponents in this competition whom he found satisfactory, that would actually be enough; as for all those other matters...
Luo Ze didn't care much.
...
City Lord's Mansion, the martial arts field.
Today's field was different from yesterday's.
Yesterday, there were only the stage and the stands.
But today, outside the stands, many small stands had been constructed.
Numbers one to ten were written on these small stands.
And under each number, a figure stood.
These figures were the young talents from within Weiqing City.
They had arrived early at the martial arts field, waiting for the start of the Qingyun Ranking competition.
...
City Lord's Mansion, the back garden.
"Ze brother," a figure approached slowly—it was Luo Yao.
Luo Ze looked at Luo Yao and smiled slightly, "Big brother."
Luo Yao shook his head helplessly and said, "I told you to rest here in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, but you insisted on searching the streets."
"And the result?" Luo Yao continued, "One night has passed, did you find anything?"
Luo Ze shook his head slightly and replied, "Nothing."
"In that case, you should prepare well for today's competition. I'll be there to cheer you on under the martial arts stage..."
The Young Master of the Luo Family said with a smile as he gently patted his younger brother Luo Ze's shoulder.
...
Qingyun Rankings respect strength.
As long as you have strength, you can leave your name on the Qingyun Rankings.
Conversely, if you lack strength, your name will not appear on the Qingyun Rankings.
Inside Weiqing City, countless young talents participate in the Qingyun Ranking competition each year.
But ultimately, only a pitiful fifty can truly leave their names on the Qingyun Rankings.
Therefore, the competition for the Qingyun Rankings is extremely fierce.
A slight carelessness and one would miss out on the Qingyun Rankings.
