Though young Zuo Guangshu didn’t show gratitude, Jiang Wang was unwilling to dampen his spirits. He said earnestly, “If we really meet at the Yellow River Meeting, with the power of your River Earl divine ability, I might not be your match.”

Of course, that was excluding the use of the Divergent Path.

However, if he were to participate in the Yellow River Meeting, the Divergent Path would likely not be used.

That was a place where the strong nations of the world gathered. At that time, there would be countless powerful individuals present. As long as he dared to use the Divergent Path, it wouldn’t be hidden from anyone.

Zuo Guangshu rolled his eyes, not feeling comforted at all. “Do you think those powerhouses are foolish enough to let such an unfair situation occur? When the Yellow River Meeting begins, the power of the Long River will naturally be suppressed.”

The Long River, also known as the “Ancestral River,” carries a great amount of sediment as it passes through the Heavenly Horse Plateau. In the section from the Land of Fertile Soil (Wo Kingdom) to the Jing Kingdom’s Jing Tian Prefecture, the river water is turbid, not showing its true color, and is called the Yellow River section. (When Jiang Wang first came to Qi from Yun, the route he chose also passed through the Heavenly Horse Plateau.)

In the Yellow River section, the River Viewing Platform is built.

The famous Yellow River Meeting is held here.

There is no such river as the Yellow River in the world; there is only the Yellow River section of the Long River.

So while the two were talking about the Yellow River Meeting, Zuo Guangshu spoke about the power of the Long River.

As the world’s foremost water vein, flowing from ancient times to the present, spanning the current world, it is simply unimaginable what kind of divine ability would be needed to suppress the power of the Long River.

But Zuo Guangshu’s understanding of the Yellow River Meeting was definitely not comparable to his own.

Jiang Wang smiled with self-awareness: “What I mean is, setting aside the influence of the Yellow River Meeting. If one day we were to clash in the Yellow River section, you would definitely have the upper hand!”

Zuo Guangshu continued to roll his eyes: “You are in Eastern Qi, and I am in Southern Chu. How addled in the head would we have to be to clash in the Yellow River section? Unless one day you lead an army to attack the eastern part of Jing Kingdom, and I lead an army to attack the southwestern part of Jing Kingdom, there’s a slight possibility of clashing in the Yellow River section!”

“Hahahahaha.” Jiang Wang chuckled awkwardly, saying neither awkwardly nor gracefully: “You’re really humorous.”

Zuo Guangshu pouted: “Likewise, likewise.”

“Young fellow, don’t always be so cold, be more approachable.” Jiang Wang advised in the tone of someone who had been through it: “I have a friend who always has a smile on his face. He smiles like a meat bun, very cute! Everyone likes him, and he’s about to inherit his family!”

Zuo Guangshu did not cooperate: “What meat bun, I don’t know him. I only heard that your True Person Qi Xiao kills people with a smile.”

Jiang Wang choked.

No matter how inflated his ego was, he couldn’t compare Chong Xuan Sheng to Qi Xiao.

He had to change the subject and said: “Young man, your ambitions are not small, you’re so familiar with Qi. True Person Qi is often overseas, I’m not even familiar with him, how do you know him?”

Zuo Guangshu sighed: “The person Qu Shunhua admires the most.”

“Qu Shunhua?” Jiang Wang asked curiously.

Having restrained his River Earl divine ability, Zuo Guangshu was still dressed in luxurious robes, exuding a noble air.

But at this moment, he shifted his gaze, looking a little wronged: “The tigress of the Qu family, two years older than me.”

Jiang Wang’s eyes lit up, there was a story here.

Since he learned that Zuo Guangshu was Zuo Guanglie’s younger brother, he had a strange sense of responsibility towards this boy who was four years younger than him.

“What’s wrong?” He deliberately asked in a relaxed tone: “Did she bully you?”

Zuo Guangshu was not easy to fool. He glared at Jiang Wang: “Do the heaven’s favorites of Qi only care about such gossip?”

“Oh… gossip.” Jiang Wang deliberately drew out the pronunciation of these four words, laughing heartily: “This word can’t be used casually, it has to be serious to a certain extent. Are there even rumors about the two of you? How are they spread?”

Zuo Guangshu turned his head, and his ears actually turned red!

“All right, all right, I’m not teasing you.” Jiang Wang had the intention to press on a few more times, but knowing the principle of going too far is as bad as not going far enough, he deliberately returned to a serious tone: “Then tell me, what should the heaven’s favorites of Qi care about?”

“Of course, the Yellow River Meeting!” Zuo Guangshu was somewhat annoyed and ashamed: “You should think about how to participate in it. If you can show the flag for your country, the benefits are countless! What first in the nearby sea, first in Qi, first in Chu, are not first. To overpower the heroes at the Yellow River Meeting is the true first in the world!”

People with Zuo Guangshu’s background said that the benefits were countless, which meant there were indeed many benefits.

“It certainly sounds appealing.” Jiang Wang said, stroking his chin. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: “Who is the strongest Inner Mansion cultivator in your Chu Kingdom?”

“Inner Mansion Realm Zuo Guanglie.”

Zuo Guangshu blurted out.

Then he tightly closed his mouth.

He was expressionless, as if he had just mentioned the name of a stranger, without emotion, just the most rational analysis.

However, Chu Kingdom has a long history and profound strength. Throughout the ages, there have been countless heaven’s favorites and numberless strong individuals. How “irrational” must one be to say without hesitation that among all Inner Mansion Realm cultivators, Inner Mansion Realm Zuo Guanglie is the first?

Jiang Wang couldn’t bear to take this conversation, and changed the subject: “I’m asking about now. Who do you think is the strongest now?”

Zuo Guangshu seemed to be completely unfazed, and thought seriously for a moment, saying: “Since Dou Zhao entered the Outer Building a year ago, there has been debate about who is the new number one Inner Mansion in our Great Chu, and it has been impossible to decide. Qu Shunhua of the Qu family, Xiang Bei of the Xiang family, and Chu Yuzhi, who comes from a humble background and takes the country as his surname, are all very likely.”

Having said this, he added: “Of course, there is still some time until the Yellow River Meeting, and I also have a chance.”

Facts proved that Jiang Wang’s previous worries were completely unnecessary. This young man was extremely proud, and losing this match did not affect his fighting spirit.

“Wow! Is Qu Shunhua that powerful?”

Jiang Wang deliberately missed the point, which earned him a fierce glare from Zuo Guangshu.

“Hahaha.” He then laughed: “That is to say, in Great Chu now, there is no Inner Mansion cultivator who can subdue everything?”

“Not necessarily. Mainly, since this year, many people’s attention has been on the Yellow River Meeting. Before this, they were unwilling to expose themselves too much. If they don’t show their true abilities, how can they subdue everything?”

When Zuo Guangshu said this, he suddenly stabbed: “Everyone is relatively steady, so, flamboyant things like you sweeping the Tianya Platform are relatively rare.”

“Guangshu, you don’t know, I’m actually not a flamboyant person.” Jiang Wang said with a serious face: “Mainly the Diaohai Tower and the others…”

Zuo Guangshu suddenly felt uneasy. He had specifically learned about the Tianya Platform incident. He knew that the people from Diaohai Tower had gone too far in that incident. He couldn’t help but reflect on himself, whether he should have brought up this matter…

But he saw Jiang Wang grin: “They are too weak! None of them were enough for me to fight, and I accidentally became famous!”

Zuo Guangshu: …
