Eternal Sovereign

Chen Yi originally thought that he could meditate for a little longer, but who would have thought that someone would come and disturb him so quickly.

Outside the door, the red cloud knocked on the door. Chen Yi opened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"

Hong Yun said, "There is a young master called Chen Hongfei who is looking for you."

"Chen Hongfei?" Chen Yi was puzzled. This fellow wasn't staying in his room, so why was he looking for him?

"Let him in."

Red Cloud opened the door and Chen Hongfei rushed in. He sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of tea, then he looked around and enviously said to Chen Yi, "Chen Yi, you really live the best. I envy you so much."

Chen Yi finished his meditation and sat across Chen Hongfei. "Is it that good? You live in a much better place than here. "

Chen Hongfei complained, "You said it was inside the house, isn't it outside?"

Chen Yi was very curious. How bad was Chen Hongfei's room that he would specifically come here to complain?

Thus, Chen Yi asked, "Could it be that your room is very small?"

Chen Hongfei shook his head. "Not really. To be honest, it's slightly bigger than yours."

"But …" Chen Hongfei changed the topic, his cheeks twitching, "My room is four rooms, four people will be staying here!"

"Besides, there's no bathroom or toilet in the room. You have to go outside."

"There's a large bathroom and toilet outside room D."

At this point, Chen Hongfei was in a state of disarray. Since he was young, he had always bathed by himself. At most, he would be served by a maidservant, and there was also a toilet exclusive to him.

Where do I have the experience of sharing a bathroom and toilet with others?

"Isn't it just bathing and going to the toilet together? What's the big deal?" Chen Yi was speechless.

In his previous life, Chen Yi had experienced this sort of thing many times, so he didn't feel that it was unbearable.

Immediately after, Chen Yi seemed to have thought of something as a trace of interest flashed across his eyes. He glanced at a certain place in Chen Hongfei and asked, "Could it be that some place is too small, and doesn't dare to show off to others?"

He didn't know what Chen Yi was talking about, but after a while, he finally reacted. He shouted with a red face and a thick neck, "You little brat, you're the little kid, I'm too old!"

"You, on the other hand, have you recovered from your growth?"

Chen Yi was speechless. He had forgotten that he was only fourteen.

At this moment, Chen Hongfei thought of another question. "Wait …"

"Take a bath together?"

"Going to the toilet together?"

Chen Hongfei was stunned. Was this what he understood?

Chen Hongfei complained only because of his germaphobe. He couldn't stand the baths that others used. He used the latrines that others had used.

But from what Chen Yi was saying, they not only had to share, but it was also possible for them to expose themselves?

At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared in Chen Hongfei's mind. Just as he was about to go to the toilet, someone suddenly came in and pulled down his pants in front of him.

"No …" "No way …" Chen Hongfei felt that he could no longer continue to think about it, or else he would definitely commit suicide.

Chen Yi found it funny to see Chen Hongfei covering his head with his hands as if he was about to collapse.

Chen Hongfei suddenly lifted his head and looked pleadingly at Chen Yi, "Brother, we're good brothers aren't we?"

"No." Chen Yi said decisively.

Chen Hongfei: "..."

Chen Hongfei flatly decided to back off. "Good brother, can I come here in the future to bathe and solve my problem of being courteous?"

"Please!"

Chen Hongfei looked like he was about to kneel on the ground.

Chen Yi only felt a headache and couldn't bear Chen Hongfei's thick skin. Chen Yi could only say, "Good, good, good. But it can only be during the day and you can only hold it in at night!"

Chen Hongfei chuckled. "Alright, I'll hold it in even if you don't say anything."

"Chen Yi, do you want me to make a pallet here tonight?" Chen Hongfei flattered.

"The less the better!" Chen Yi gritted his teeth.

"Really?" Disappointed, Chen Hongfei continued, "I can sleep with you."

"Scram!" Chen Yi replied with a single word.

What a joke. It was one thing to cultivate during the day, but at night, he planned to use the Comprehension Stones to cultivate. There was no way he would let a second person into this room.

Even if Chen Yi was on good terms with Chen Hongfei, even if Chen Hongfei might not be able to recognize the Enlightenment Stone, Chen Yi would not take it out in front of Chen Hongfei.

He wasn't afraid of ten thousand, he was only afraid of one!

What if Chen Hongfei recognized the Enlightenment Stone?

The importance of the Dao Understanding Stone was self-evident. Even if it was only a fragment of a complete low-grade Dao Understanding Stone, its value was immeasurable.

Once word of this spread, even Xiantian masters would come and fight for it.

Chen Yi was not someone who would gamble with people's hearts.

Seeing that Chen Yi's attitude was more resolute this time, Chen Hongfei had no choice but to give up. He muttered, "Forget it, although the feet of those three people stink, I can only bear with it."

Chen Yi rolled his eyes. "You didn't come to me just because of these questions, right?"

Chen Hongfei looked solemn, "Of course not, I want to form a team with you!"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Sure." Chen Yi was still somewhat at ease with Chen Hongfei. He wasn't the type of person to stab someone in the back with a knife.

In a group, what Chen Yi cared about wasn't strength, but trust.

He did not need the kind of trust that allowed him to trust others, all he needed was the most basic of trust.

The kind that wouldn't sell out before passing the second round.

Don't think that just because everyone seemed to have the same interests, no one would betray the group.

In the end, only a small number of people were able to pass the second round. Many people knew that even if they could enter the second round, the chances of them passing were very slim.

If someone used other benefits to tempt him, betrayal would naturally follow.

Chen Hongfei also let out a sigh of relief that his final goal had been achieved. The chances of passing the second round would greatly increase if he followed a great boss like Chen Yi.

Only after coming outside did Chen Hongfei realize how big the outside world was. He had always thought that he was very outstanding amongst his family's peers, so he should be able to be considered good outside too.

And the result?

In the first trial alone, he'd witnessed a large group of people at the peak of the seventh meridian, as well as a small cycle.

In terms of strength, none of the top five could be considered that high.

This was only the first round of the assessment, the second round, or even the third round.

Right now, Chen Hongfei didn't have much hope that he would be able to pass the third round of the examination. He only hoped that he would be able to last one more round and not lose too much face when he returned.

The two switched the topic to other places, such as Room D, where the conditions were poor, and Room C, where the situation was.

What would happen to room No. A?

Then, they started to talk about the other prodigies who had arrived earlier, but unfortunately, they had just arrived as well, so they didn't know anything about the people who came earlier.

Chen Hongfei intends to gather more information in the next few days.

A quarter of an hour later, Red Cloud brought in some food. It was also very simple. There were four dishes and two soups, as well as four big steamed buns.

However, all of these dishes contained spiritual energy. Even though the spiritual energy was very faint, it was still worth a lot. It was not something that ordinary ingredients could make.

After drinking the bowl of soup, Chen Hongfei felt the true qi within his body boil up quite a bit.

Chen Yi didn't feel much better. Even if he used the [Pure Yang Art] to purify it, his cultivation wouldn't progress much.

The reason why Chen Hongfei felt this way was because he was on the verge of breaking through. At any moment, he could take the final step.

Although the Yang Yuncheng City had many resources and assets, it had a larger family. It did not feel that it was enough to provide its own descendants, so how could it provide too good of a gift to an outsider?

The reason why the Chen family provided the food with spiritual energy was because they wanted to show the strength of their family. A few days later, there wouldn't be such a good occasion.

Bang Bang Bang...

Roughly when it was about time, Chen Yi's door was knocked again.

Hong Yun's voice was transmitted through the door, "Young master, a young master called Chen Yingjie requests an audience."

"Chen Yingjie?" Chen Yi and Chen Hongfei looked at each other.

Why did this person come?

Chen Yingjie was the only one among the nine who had reached the level of the 'Small Circle'. One of them was Chen Jiayi, while the other was naturally Chen Yingjie.

At that time, Chen Yingjie was in the first group and was also the first to successfully advance.

"Come in." Chen Yi's voice sounded faintly.

Chen Yingjie then entered the room.

"I've seen you two." Chen Yingjie cupped his hands and bowed.

"Tell me your purpose." They were not familiar with each other. He did not believe that Chen Yingjie had come here just to greet him.
