The lift came. Li Liangda, Li Rongcheng, and Xie Kun entered it together.
Li Rongcheng looked at Li Liangda’s attitude towards Xie Kun and felt humiliated and frustrated. At the same time, a strong sense of jealousy arose in him.
This was a martial warrior!
He must become a martial warrior.
Xie Kun noticed the change of expression on his face and smiled unconsciously. In the past, this was how he felt too.
“Mr. Li, is this your son?”
“Yes, it’s my son,” Li Liangda replied.
“Looking at his age, he is probably going to take the university entrance exam soon, right? Did he take it this year, or is he going to participate next year? Does he plan to take the martial arts exam?” Xie Kun asked.
“My son is already an advanced stage martial disciple. He took the martial arts exam this year and had hopes of entering a top university. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the actual combat assessment because of the despicable act of another student. Now, he can only repeat his year and wait for the exam next year,” Li Liangda sighed and replied.
“An advanced stage martial disciple! Your son is very talented,” Xie Kun praised. Then, he frowned and continued, “Which student is so evil to kick your son out of the actual combat assessment? The grudge is formed.”
“You’re right. This is the first time I saw such an evil student. Yet, he still managed to become the top scholar of the martial arts exam this year,” Li Liangda said with disdain.
“The top scholar of the martial arts exam? Is that… Wang Teng?” Xie Kun frowned. How could the top scholar have such a flawed character?
“That’s right, it’s him. He came to the auction today too. We just met him at the entrance. I know his father, so by right, even if there are some grudges between the younger generations, he should greet me as his Uncle Li since I’m his elder. However, he looked at me with contempt and left without even greeting me.” Li Liangda shook his head and looked as though he was disappointed by the character of the younger generations nowadays.
“Hmph, I’ve seen many newbies like him. They feel arrogant just because they become a martial warrior. They have not experienced the cruelty of society, so they don’t know how ruthless the martial warriors’ circle is. Since he’s able to become a martial warrior, he must be talented. However, talent doesn’t mean that he will have a successful future. I’ve seen a genius from the Xingwu Continent in the past. He also became a martial warrior at a young age. What do you think happened to him?” Xie Kun scorned.
“What happened?” Li Rongcheng couldn’t help but ask.
“He died. He got killed by a 2-star martial warrior. That’s why ability is the most important thing for a martial warrior. Your talent is only your talent if you are able to change it into your ability,” Xie Kun gave his advice as an experienced senior.
“Mr. Xie, you’re right. Someone like him who doesn’t know how to restrain himself will suffer sooner or later. He might not even know who killed him at that time.” Li Liangda nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. He’s that kind of person. Once you see him, you’ll dislike him too,” Li Rongcheng agreed.
As the three of them chatted, they arrived at the auction hall on the eighth floor.
The Sky auction hall was huge and spacious. In the middle, there was a circle of tables and chairs. These were the seats of ordinary bidders.
Besides the auction stage right at the front, the other sides were filled with VIP rooms. There were two levels. Only highly respected figures had the right to use these rooms.
Wang Teng was already in the auction hall. He was searching for Lin Zhan and his teammates, but they didn’t seem to be here yet.
He was bored, so he found a seat and sat down. He was enjoying some tea and pastries as he waited for them to come.
When this scene landed in the eyes of other people, they found it a little unconventional.
The people in the hall were either restraining themselves so that they wouldn’t do things that lowered their status or flipping the auction booklet seriously. They didn’t see what Wang Teng was doing.
There was no one else acting like Wang Teng.
“Little Teng Teng!”
Suddenly, a familiar but unfamiliar voice rang beside his ear. It gave Wang Teng a huge scare.
This address!
This voice!
F**k, it’s that female devil Xu Hui!
Why is she here?
Wang Teng almost spat out the mouthful of tea he just drank. All kinds of thoughts flashed past his mind in an instant.
He turned and saw the figure that was like a nightmare to him.
At the same time, there were a few people following her at the side. Wang Teng didn’t recognize any of them.
“Why are you here?” Wang Teng asked as though he had seen a ghost.
“That’s just what I wanted to ask.” Xu Hui walked over and glared at him with her hands on her waist.
“I asked my younger brother to look for you, but you went hiding somewhere. You didn’t even reply to my message. What is it? Have you become arrogant just because you were the top scholar of the martial arts exam?”
Wang Teng looked at the beauty in front of him, who was glaring at him with her hands on her waist. A sense of familiarity rose to his heart.
The same ponytail, the same slender and tall figure, the same bad temper…
However, in this sense of familiarity, there was a slight hint of unfamiliarity too.
At this moment, she was wearing a battle uniform with a sword hanging on her waist. She looked handsome and valiant. There was a different aura on her.
He had never seen this attire on her before in his past life.
“I’ve been busy recently. In fact, I just came back. Did you send me a message? My phone was off, so I didn’t see it,” Wang Teng felt his head hurting as he spouted nonsense.
“Hmph, do you know how you look when you’re lying?” Xu Hui scoffed.
“I’m a decent person. I never lie,” proclaimed Wang Teng.
“I only left for a short time, but you’ve already become so naughty. I’ll settle this with you when we return. I’m too lazy to bullshit with you now. Tell me, why did you come here today?” Xu Hui rolled her eyes and asked him again.
I’ll leave immediately after the auction ends later. Do you think I will stay here stupidly to wait for you to find me? Wang Teng thought to himself secretly.
“I just came to take a look and broaden my horizons.” He found a random excuse. Then, he asked, “What about you?”
“I also came to take a look with my seniors.” Xu Hui finally remembered to introduce the people beside her.
“These are my seniors from Jiangnan University. You can greet them like how I greet them.”
“Xu Hui, is this the top scholar of the Donghai martial arts exam that you’ve been talking about recently?” a pretty lady beside Xu Hui asked.
“That’s right, Senior Sister. He’s my younger brother’s friend, and I grew up with him. I got a huge shock when I heard that he actually became the top scholar of the martial arts exam,” Xu Hui smiled and replied to the lady.
“Childhood friends!” Pan Danwen teased her.
Hearing this sentence, the man behind Xu Hui frowned.

“He’s just a kid. How can he be my childhood friend? He’s at most a boot licker.” Xu Hui was too proud to admit it.
Wang Teng was speechless. F**k, I’m not a kid!
“Haha, since you’re Xu Hui’s friend, you’re our friend too.” The man behind Xu Hui walked out. He pretended to be magnanimous as he spoke to Wang Teng. “Little Brother Wang Teng, there are many important people here today. Why don’t you follow us? It will be troublesome if you provoke some respectable figure.”
Wang Teng didn’t know what to say when he heard this.
It was alright when Xu Hui called him a kid. After all, they were close to each other.
But, he didn’t know this young man at all.
Yet, he called him a little brother. When am I your little brother? You are the little brother. Your entire family is little brothers.
Where did this person come from?
