Chapter 368 - 6: Reunion with an Old Friend Name_3
"I am not a genius," Yu Hua said, "Being called a Heavenly Girl is entirely because of my mentor’s foundation. On the contrary, I am quite mediocre; despite my best efforts, I can only serve as a background for those geniuses."
"Is this an old friend of yours?" a similarly soft voice inquired, yet with a distinctly different timbre that brought Gu Wen back to reality. He nodded and asked, "What level is the top five hundred?"
Xie Yunnan pondered for a moment, then said tactfully, "The Tianxuan Conference requires participants to be below the Nascent Soul level, with no age limit. It often involves tens of thousands of people, so making the list at all is cause for being called a genius."
"That’s good then."
Gu Wen smiled faintly. Xie Yunnan saw him smile so genially for the first time; she thought that this person named ’Yu Hua’ must be very close to him.
"Ah? There’s no age limit?"
The teenage boy who had just taken Gu Wen to see the Cultivation Hall hung his head dejectedly, complaining, "If an old guy who has been cultivating for hundreds of years comes along, how can I compete with that?"
"There are age group competitions," Xie Yunnan said as she looked at the list, her eyes glowing with enthusiasm. "Moreover, the master once said that age can measure a person’s talent, and the time you lack after your victory is your gift."
"Is the Sword Master who took first place in the Golden Era considered a peerless genius?"
Her brother’s words stunned Xie Yunnan for a moment because she had asked the master the same thing years ago.
