Chapter 306
“Aiya! Isn’t this the top scholar?”
Zeng Rong and his companions walked toward Xu Ming.
Xu Ming turned his head to look at them, his expression calm as he sized them up.
All of them were from the Wu Kingdom. Xu Ming had seen them before during the selection for the Rootless Secret Realm.
However, despite being from the same dynasty, Xu Ming didn’t have a great impression of them.
First, it was just a feeling—his intuition told him these guys weren’t good people.
Second, the techniques they used during the trials felt off—there was something unclean about them, giving off the impression of schemers and tricksters.
Third, they were all rogue cultivators. Rogue cultivators didn’t exactly have the best reputation. Of course, Xu Ming knew this was a generalization, but he couldn’t afford to be careless.
It was like the “three professions you don’t marry” rule from his past life on Blue Star. Could you say that every woman in those three professions was bad? No, of course not.
