Sure enough, as Shi Jian said, Sun Jinming was addicted to alcohol.
After getting a jar of fine Drunk Immortal Brew, he and Gu Chen settled their differences and even invited him to sit down and drink the wine together.
After getting three cups, one person and two monkeys started drinking in the cave.
"Brother Chen, it turns out you are not from China."
Sun Jinming was slightly drunk and began to call him brother and brother. He learned that Gu Chen was originally from the Eastern Wasteland and got closer to him.
"I'm not telling you that the forces in Middle-earth are more evil than the others, and dealing with them is the most annoying!"
he complained.
"The disciples of the two holy sects asked to see them earlier, why didn't Brother Sun see them? It's not a bad thing to be friends with them, right?"
Gu Chen remembered what happened at the door earlier and couldn't help but ask.
Sun Jinming's attitude is really bad, and it is easy to offend people.
"Hey, do you think they are really here to visit me?"
Sun Jinming shook his head.
"Is it possible that there is a hidden secret in this?"
"There should be someone behind them who came here to spy on me."
Sun Jinming's face was full of disdain.
"I'd like to hear the details." Gu Chen didn't understand.
"Hey, little brother Chen, you just came to Zhenwu Academy not long ago, and you're not a student. It's normal that you don't understand this matter."
"The two people who came today are here for the grand event the day after tomorrow."
"The Grand Event is held every year. At this time, young heroes from various factions all want to step on others to get to the top."
"My old grandson just entered the Nine Provinces Ranking List last year. Naturally, many people are eyeing me this year and want to use me to become famous."
Gu Chenruo realized something, "If that's the case, why didn't those people come to the door in person, but sent their junior brothers here?"
"Those people are looking for fame and reputation. Some are the Holy Sons of the Holy Land, and some are core disciples of the sect. They all cherish their wings. How can they show up easily when they are not sure whether they can win me?"
"In addition, the battle situation during the Fengyun Festival was complicated and I met me too early. If I directly fight with them and force them to use up all their cards, how will they play later?"
When Sun Jinming mentioned these people, his face was full of contempt.
"Competing on the same field should be exciting, but these people are hesitant and care about those false reputations. It seems that they are just mediocre."
Gu Chen drank the wine in one gulp.
"Yes, little brother Chen can say this, he seems to be a man of temperament."
Sun Jinming strongly agreed with this statement.
"In fact, the grand gathering is actually not interesting. Apart from ordinary students, only the new kings and quasi-kings will fight."
"These people have just entered the realm of kings and urgently need to make a name for themselves and be on the Nine Provinces Ranking, so they are very concerned about this grand event."
"And any young king who has proven himself or already has a reputation will not take action in the new year. This is also an unwritten rule."
"I, Old Sun, had enough fun last year, so I have no plans to take action this year unless a real master appears."
Sun Jinming said proudly.
"So I may never see real masters fight again?"
Gu Chen regretted that he had been looking forward to that event.
"You can't say that. Little brother Chen, you are still in the Nirvana realm, and there are still many people who can be your opponents. There are many schools of monks in Middle-earth, and I believe it will be of great benefit to you to compete with hundreds of schools."
Sun Jinming said kindly.
"Thank you, Brother Sun, for reminding me. I understand."
Gu Chen didn't say anything more, and the two of them exchanged cups and drank drunkenly.
…
Today is the first day of the grand gathering between the two academies. Early in the morning, many monks from all over the world gathered in the main square of Zhenwu Academy.
A large number of monks filled the auditorium. If you carefully identify the clothes they are wearing, you can find that many of them come from famous families.
This is a conference that the entire Kyushu attaches great importance to. Almost all the reputable forces have sent people, and countless people with good intentions have come from thousands of miles away to witness the birth of a famous genius.
Everyone gathered in the square, and the library building was naturally closed. Gu Chen followed Teacher Xu Fang and mixed into the auditorium to watch the conference together.
There were at least 100,000 people in the audience. Not to mention the seats were packed, even the aisles were packed with people standing.
Such a spectacular scene made Gu Chen secretly sigh. The Middle-earth Empire is indeed the Middle-earth Empire. How could anyone imagine that anyone in the Eastern Wasteland could hold such a huge event?
The audience had occupied their seats early, and many students from Zhenwu Academy and Miao Academy of Law who signed up to participate in the competition also lined up neatly and stepped into the square one after another when the time came.
As soon as these people from the two major colleges entered the stage, the audience immediately burst into excitement!
Countless people called out the names of those famous geniuses, and the voices were deafening.
"Look, that's Qi Zeyan from the Miao Academy of Law. He was born in the Holy Land of Nanhua. He was born with the Purple Sky Sword Body. He was promoted to the King Realm just three months ago!"
"That woman has long dark red hair and is so beautiful. Could it be Yao Yufei from Tianya Haige?"
"Feng Jiuqian from the Glazed Light Sect and Hong Taiyi from the Xuantian Sect. These two geniuses have just been promoted to the King Realm. As expected, they both came to participate in the grand event. They are going to make a splash this year!"
The eyes of many spectators fell on the famous new kings from the teams of the two major colleges.
Compared with these people, the other students participating in the event pale in comparison.
Gu Chen looked over from a distance and saw Ye Qingshuang and Shi Jian in the corner of the student team. It can be said that there were almost no people cheering for them.
This is not to say that they are not talented, but that they are still too young and naturally cannot compare with older students who are close to or even over 20 years old.
In a few years, when they become old students and step into the realm of kings, the cheers they receive may not be worse than those of the new kings.
Gu Chen curiously looked at the famous geniuses from the two major colleges. Most of these people had special physiques. Each of them possessed the unique skills of the Holy Sect and was extremely powerful.
Under the influence of the atmosphere at the scene, he was actually a little eager to try, but unfortunately he was not a student.
He thought that the Fengyun Festival would be held for a full half month, and if there was a chance, he might be able to find some people to discuss and learn from each other.
After all the audience and student teams entered, a group of bigwigs headed by the vice-deans of the two major colleges also entered the VIP seats.
Their appearance caused another wave of exclamations from the audience.
The head of an ancient aristocratic family, the hero of the Holy Land, the leader of a sect...
There were many distinguished guests present, whose names had once marked an entire era. Even now, just a stamp of their feet can cause turmoil in all directions.
In this luxurious and spectacular opening, Vice President Qi of Zhenwu Academy, an old woman with white hair and beard, raised her hand, and the whole square suddenly became quiet.
