Chapter 584: Chapter 584: It’s Really You
 

“Enough, it doesn’t make much sense to keep talking about it. Just wait patiently, we’ll go in for the trial after seven days,” he said.

“Even if some accidents really happen, we two will make sure you don’t die.”

Gu Ning comforted with a faint smile.

Jiang Xiaobai just sneered, of course, he could not tell them that if the trial failed, he would be utterly doomed.

But his doubts only deepened.

The previous incidents with Huseng, the upcoming trials in the underworld, and these masters from unknown worlds.

And, the identities of Gu Ning and Baihe!

He always felt something off about the two of them, extremely off!

They were too mysterious, there were many things they would not say, and Jiang Xiaobai could not possibly know.

All of it gave him quite the headache.

Getting drunk, Jiang Xiaobai lay on the ground, his eyes dull.

Maybe I should get some sleep?

Should feel a lot better after waking up…

Just as he thought so, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

“Is that her?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows in surprise, then quickly got up and followed her.

He kept following the figure, his eyes fixated on the woman’s pointed ears.

The woman slowly moved forward, and Jiang Xiaobai closely followed.

Finally unable to resist his curiosity, he stepped forward and tapped the lady on her shoulder.

“Hello, you…”

Jiang Xiaobai froze before he could finish speaking, because the heartbreaking beauty in front of him wasn’t the person he thought he recognized.

“What’s up?” the woman squinted her eyes, as if trying to see through Jiang Xiaobai.

“Nothing, got the wrong person.”

“Hehehe, little brother, if you want to strike up a conversation with me, just say so.”

The lady smiled seductively, even stretching her finger to touch Jiang Xiaobai’s chin, “I am pretty open-minded.”

“Um…Haha, misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!”

Jiang Xiaobai turned around and fled, it was too embarrassing!

He could still hear the woman’s mocking laughter from behind, and Jiang Xiaobai felt his face flush with embarrassment.

Are you kidding me? I was actually teased by a woman?

Just as he was shaking his head and walking on, he suddenly looked up and stopped in his tracks.

Because standing in front of him was a woman with a calm expression.

Pointed ears, and a face that could only be described as stunningly beautiful.

“So it really is you.”

Qiongyu said calmly, “Were you looking for me?”

“I didn’t expect to see you here too,” Jiang Xiaobai said in a daze.

“Yes, I came with my clan to participate in the trial, and you…”

The two of them, for some reason, suddenly didn’t know what to say.

They had only met once before in the War God’s realm, but now that they were meeting face to face, the sensation was indeed a bit strange.

“By the way, I don’t even know your name. I had a lot of questions to ask you in the War God’s space…”

Jiang Xiaobai blurted out nervously, “Don’t misunderstand, I truly believe that it is fate for us to meet in this vast world.”

“But if you don’t want to talk, that’s totally fine. My name is Jiang Xiaobai.”

“Qiongyu.”

Her lips moved slightly as she spoke, her voice was still as indifferent as before. After uttering a single word, she walked past Jiang Xiaobai.

She walked straight to the woman who had teased Jiang Xiaobai earlier. The woman immediately linked arms with Qiongyu and they began to talk in whispers.

Jiang Xiaobai could see the woman occasionally glance back at him, her eyes filled with mockery.

Scratching his head, Jiang Xiaobai walked straight back to Gu Ning.

“Well, are you in love?” Baihe teased, “You like the elf girls?”

“Well, you’ve got good taste. Among thousands of worlds, elvish girls are indeed among the top ten in terms of beauty.”

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes, where did he show any interest.

It’s purely because he believes that to meet by chance so many times in such a vast world is a kind of fate.

What he wants most is to have a fight with Qiongyu!

From the first time they met, Jiang Xiaobai has been defeated by that woman so easily every single time, even when his strength had improved a lot.

The repeated defeats made him extremely uncomfortable.

“So, is the world the elves come from one of the top three thousand?” Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

“Oh, you know about the top three thousand, seems like you’ve learned quite a few secrets lately,” Gu Ning joked.

Gu Ning laughed, “Indeed, their world is one of the top three thousand, and it ranks among the top ten in terms of world rules.”

“It’s already on par with the three big worlds.”

“Could you tell me more?” Jiang Xiaobai asked earnestly, “Why would the same level of cultivators have such a big difference in strength in different worlds?”

Gu Ning thought for a while before answering, “That’s because of the different starting lines. World rules, define the maximum limit of this world.”

“The more complete the rule, the more complete the strength you cultivate. As someone who practiced in the Tianxuan Continent, you naturally can’t compare to them.”

“But it doesn’t matter, once you reach a world with high rules, spend some time and you can improve your strength to a matching level.”

“It’s just a matter of time. But as your master, I believe that with your talent, under the same starting line, you could definitely beat those elven geniuses.”

Gu Ning began to laugh again, reaching out to pinch Jiang Xiaobai’s face.

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes and lay back down on the ground.

He finally understood that different worlds meant different levels of strength.

In the Tianxuan Continent where he was, for the same level of cultivators, people from the Tianxuan Continent might only be compared to a drop of water, while the geniuses from the top three thousand worlds may be like a great sea.

There’s simply no comparison.

“Prepare well, once you’ve passed the underworld trial, I’ll tell you everything.”

“You’re getting cuter and cuter. I really like you,” said Gu Ning teasingly.

Jiang Xiaobai naturally ignored him, then looked at the smoke in the sky and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he felt much better. The heaviness from all the things weighing on his mind had also lifted somewhat.

He didn’t waste any time, sitting cross-legged on the ground, running the Virtual Thundering Technique, using the thunder born in his Dantian Qi sea to continuously refine his spiritual power.

He was constantly pushing himself, becoming stronger!

Like this, seven days passed quickly.

After a slight tremble in the ground, everyone’s gaze fell on the blue pyramid altar.

Excitement filled everyone’s eyes.

“The altar of the trial is opening, get ready!”

Someone shouted. The scene instantly fell silent.

Then, the blue pyramid altar suddenly slowly split open from the middle, revealing a light curtain within.

In an instant, tens of thousands of geniuses rushed into it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiaobai also squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.

This trial, he must succeed, failure is not an option.

If he fails, it will be the end.
