My Core is the Boss

For prodigies like them, the banquet was important. It was a prime chance to build connections.

Just then, Luo Cha whispered in Qi Yuan’s ears, "Fellow Daoist, associating with that kind of person will only ruin your reputation. On the boat, Gao Jien was drained dry by a demon girl. Haha, utterly pathetic."

Sneering, Luo Cha walked away laughing.

Qi Yuan looked at Gao Jien and sighed. "Didn’t expect you to look so plain and still catch a demon girl’s interest. You must be well-endowed."

Gao Jien froze. Is that praise or an insult?

Rogue Immortal whispered, "Senior Brother, Qiyuann Sovereign is very direct. Don’t mind him."

Gao Jien’s mouth twitched. "N-no, it’s fine... let’s go."

The three left for the banquet. Along the way, Gao Jien complained nonstop, mostly about Luo Cha.

Qi Yuan couldn’t help but think of him as a vindictive man. Must avoid offending someone like him. If you do, you’d better kill him quickly, or he’ll curse your ancestors for generations.

Rogue Immortal kept glancing at Qi Yuan. He hadn’t been online while restoring his senior brother’s qi, so he wasn’t aware of the forum chaos. Curious, he finally asked, "Are you participating in the Eastern Lands Prodigy List?"

Clearly, Iceberg Empress said Qiyuann Sovereign was a top-tier expert. What kind of bigshot joined a young prodigy contest?

Qi Yuan replied casually, "Mhm. Of course. My senior brother joined and he’s attending the Fish-Dragon Banquet with someone else."
