Seeing Tie Rushan's aggrieved expression, Lin Yunxi said helplessly, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't know before either."
"Huh? You didn't know before?" Tie Rushan looked at Lin Yunxi in astonishment.
"I really didn't know," Lin Yunxi said with a wry smile, then she looked at Yang Feilong with an even more aggrieved gaze, "You didn't even tell me you were this strong."
"You didn't ask me!" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"..."
Fine, she hadn't asked, but did he not know to tell her proactively just because she hadn't asked?
Yang Feilong understood Lin Yunxi's look and returned one, the meaning of which was quite simple: Why would I tell you this when I had nothing better to do?
Alright, Yang Feilong thought his performance in the Heroic Arena competition should have already spread. But he now realized that the news was spreading a bit too slowly!
After all, it had been several days!
These people only found out now, but thinking about it, it was understandable. The list of prodigies was released by the official website, and the website updated on a weekly basis. Daily updates would be too costly in terms of manpower and resources, as investigations, consultations, and assessments all took time.
Yes, it had been almost a week since the Heroic Arena competition concluded, and today was Monday. It was ten o'clock in the morning, precisely the time for the weekly prodigy list update!
"Everyone, do you still want to spar with me? If not, I'm leaving!" Yang Feilong said calmly.
"..." Hearing his words, everyone was speechless.
Didn't he know his words were incredibly provoking?
He was a Yuanwu realm cultivator, and they were all Xuanwu realm cultivators. What was he bothering with them for?
Were they asking for trouble or had their skin become too thick?
"Boss Tie, you and Brother Yang are both Yuanwu realm cultivators. Why don't you two spar and let us watch?" someone jokingly said to Tie Rushan.
The eyes of the others lit up at this suggestion. Yes! Both of them were Yuanwu realm cultivators, so their spar would surely be a spectacle!
Besides, Boss Tie always enjoyed finding people to spar with, didn't he?
Tie Rushan glanced at the person who made the suggestion, then at everyone's expectant gazes, and had an unspeakable expletive on his tongue: "..."
He sparred with his subordinates because he could win, maintaining his authority and also training them to become stronger.
But what was the point of sparring with Yang Feilong?
Before he knew about the list, he had indeed thought about sparring with Yang Feilong. But now, he thought better of it!
He wasn't young anymore, already in his early forties. If he were beaten by a young man, or even just defeated, it would be quite embarrassing!
And his subordinates would surely laugh at him.
"Feng Jun, I think you're itching for a fight. Come, let's spar three hundred rounds!" Tie Rushan said coldly to the person who made the suggestion.
"Ah? Boss Tie, don't do this. I'm no match for you. You and Yang Feilong are the real opponents, after all, you're both Yuanwu realm cultivators!" the middle-aged man whose name was called said, looking astonished.
"I just want to spar with you, what are you going to do about it?" Tie Rushan snorted, then glanced at Lin Yunxi and said, "Little Lin, isn't Feilong leaving? Aren't you going to see him off?"
"Uh, okay, I'll see him off!" Lin Yunxi said dazedly. Actually, she had really wanted to see Boss Tie and Yang Feilong spar.
What a pity, Boss Tie refused the challenge!
Yang Feilong also found it a bit amusing. Boss Tie was truly interesting, and his subordinates were also quite amusing.
Afterward, Yang Feilong bid farewell and left!
...
The heated discussion about Yang Feilong came to an end as Yang Feilong and Lin Yunxi departed.
On the way, Lin Yunxi and Yang Feilong were conversing, "When did you break through to the Yuanwu realm?"
"What if I told you I haven't broken through to the Yuanwu realm yet?" Yang Feilong smiled.
"Uh? You're lying to me again!" Lin Yunxi rolled her eyes.
"Why would I lie to you?" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"You really possess late Yuanwu realm strength without having broken through to the Yuanwu realm?" Lin Yunxi looked at Yang Feilong, completely disbelieving.
"Just kidding," Yang Feilong smiled.
He didn't tell Lin Yunxi his true cultivation level. After all, if he did, it would lead to a lot of explanations.
Lin Yunxi snorted, "I knew you were lying to me again."
Of course, she wasn't angry. She just felt that chatting with Yang Feilong was very enjoyable. Especially when she recalled how astonished those people had looked earlier. Well, she herself had looked like that at the time. Thinking about it, her face flushed slightly.
Truly, this guy always brought her surprises!
"By the way, after this matter, I'll be leaving!" Yang Feilong said.
Hearing Yang Feilong bring up this topic, Lin Yunxi, who had just started to feel happy, inexplicably became angry. She glared at Yang Feilong, "Don't you know how to comfort me?"
Yang Feilong naturally saw Lin Yunxi's look, but at this moment, he didn't dare to respond, "It's for the development of the company, and I don't want to miss the Jade Festival in Myanmar."
The Jade Festival in Myanmar was about to start in the next couple of days!
"Go, go far away. I hope you don't come back!" Lin Yunxi turned her back and said with a huff.
"..." Yang Feilong looked at Lin Yunxi's demeanor and rubbed his nose.
Why was she suddenly angry?
Alas, it was truly vexing.
"Am I that annoying?" Lin Yunxi saw Yang Feilong's silence and his failure to comfort her. She then turned to look at him, her eyes red, looking as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Alas," Yang Feilong sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's not that you're annoying, it's just that my emotions are rather complicated right now."
Yang Feilong decided to be honest with Lin Yunxi. Otherwise, if this continued, he would be tired, and Lin Yunxi would also be very tired.
"Who said I was talking about emotional matters?" Lin Yunxi's face turned red, and she said.
"..." Yang Feilong looked at Lin Yunxi helplessly. If you say that, then I have nothing more to say. I'm not an idiot, do you think I can't see your feelings for me?
But he knew that girls were often shy. He sighed and said, "Alright, it seems I was just wishing for something that wasn't going to happen."
Hearing Yang Feilong say this, Lin Yunxi didn't know how to respond.
"I, um..." Lin Yunxi looked at Yang Feilong and said, "I, we are just friends..."
"Are we really just friends?" Yang Feilong looked at Lin Yunxi.
"What else do you want us to be?" Lin Yunxi's face turned red.
