After the Profound Flower Sect began to follow behind the Burning Lotus Sect they once again became the center of attention.
"Who are the people following behind the Burning Lotus Sect?"
The crowd outside the snow city muttered to each other.
"I've never seen their robes before …"
"I don't either…"
"How can no one here recognize such a dazzling group of people here …"
"No matter who they are, to be escorted by the Burning Lotus Sect, they definitely have a special relationship with them."
Meanwhile, inside one of the carriages of the Burning Lotus Sect, Great Elder Han frowned.
"What is the Blossom Sect doing here? They wouldn't travel far here just to watch the tournament, would they? Are they really planning to participate as well?" Elder Han pondered to himself.
However, since he did not believe that someone as strong as Su Yang was only a mere disciple of the Blossom Sect, let alone meet the age requirement for the tournament.
so he was not worried that their Burning Lotus Sect might have to deal with Su Yang during the tournament.
even so, he found their presence here very strange. Looking at their current group and the number, it explained almost the entire population of the Blossom Sect – an amount that was not even qualified to be considered a Sect.
Moreover, it was clear that the nine beautiful disciples in front would be participants, as they were the only ones within the group that actually met the qualifications. However, this only made the situation even more confusing, as the Regional Tournament required 10 members.
"Maybe it's just here to watch the tournament?"
Elder Han decided not to think too much about this. As long as the Burning Lotus Sect did not have to deal with Su Yang, it did not matter what the Blossom Sect had planned.
"May I see your identity?" One of the guards at the entrance gate asked as the Burning Lotus Sect approached.
A while later, the Burning Lotus Sect showed to the gold medal guard with the surname 'Xie' engraved in the middle.
"Thank you, honored guest." The guard no longer asked any other questions and opened the gate for them.
However, before they entered the gate, the people from the Burning Lotus Sect came out from the carriage, as they did not plan on bringing the carriage to the city.
"…"
When the disciples and elders of the sect came out of their carriages and noticed the Blossom Sect, especially Su Yang, their facial expressions were immediately filled with fear. Worse, their memories of him from the mess he caused in their place quickly resurfaced.
Since they had been inside the carriage the entire time and Wang Shuren had not explained the situation to them, these people were completely unaware that the Blossom Sect had been following behind them all along.
"Relax, he won't hurt you ..." Great elder Han spoke in an awkward tone after noticing their stiff expressions. "In fact, just ignore him …"
The disciples did not respond after a while, as they did not know if they could ignore his domineering presence that still overshadowed their hearts.
"Why are you all standing there? Quick. We still have to meet the patriarch and the others." Wang Shuren, who was already inside the city, spoke in a loud voice.
"S-soon!"
As soon as the Burning Lotus Sect passed through the gate, the Profound Blossom Sect followed them from behind.
However, as expected, they were immediately stopped by the guards.
"May I see your identity?"
"If they don't have identification, even if they are your friends, I'm afraid I can't let them in like this, because this is the rule set by the lord of this city."
Wang Shuren frowned and said, "The master of this place is the Xie Family, right? If the Xie Family gave us the privilege to enter, why would those who are with us, also not be able to enter? We came here together."
It would be a huge slap to Wang Shuren's face if they didn't let the Blossom Sect in after everything he said to them. However, the worst part of all of this was that he would be embarrassed in front of Su Yang, something he had to avoid at all costs.
"Unless they have identification, they have to pay the fee and wait in line like everyone else." The guard remained unshaken.
Liu Lanzhi was also unhappy with the situation. If they had to go back to the queue now, they would have to go to the end of the queue, wasting their time.
"I know we should just ignore his offer and stay in line!" Liu Lanzhi cursed inwardly.
When Wang Shuren and the guards started arguing back and forth about the situation for the next few minutes, another commotion broke out right behind them.
"That's the Divine Sword Sect!"
"Yes, Master! I thought I wouldn't see them so close in this life!"
The crowd roared with excitement, an atmosphere that even the Burning Lotus Sect could not incite.
"The Divine Sword Sect?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow when he heard this name, as it sounded somewhat familiar to him.
Moments later, two white carriages with golden frames approached the gate.
However, since the Blossom Sect was still at the entrance gate, the Divine Sword Sect had to stop right behind them.
"Anyway, I won't move from this place until you let them in!" Wang Shuren did not care about the arrival of the Divine Sword Sect and continued to argue with the guards, who were feeling quite disturbed right now.
But even if they were to go against the Elite Sect, they could not disobey the words of the Xie Family that were akin to heavenly laws.
"What's going on here?" A voice belonging to an elderly suddenly resounded.
"S-Senior!"
The guards immediately recognized this voice and went to the carriage of the Divine Sword Sect, ignoring Wang Shuren and the Blossom Sect.
"You see, these people are here …"
The guards quickly explained the situation to the individual inside the first carriage.
"The Profound Sect of Blossom ... said you?" The old voice sounded somewhat surprised after hearing the name. A few seconds later, the door of the first car opened, and an old man rushed out of the car.
"It's really you!" The old man's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Su Yang's handsome face.
When Su Yang saw this old man, he finally realized why the name 'Divine Sword Sect' sounded so familiar.
"If it's not wrong you're the old man who was with the young lady that day," he spoke with a gentle smile on his calm face.
Indeed, this old man was Elder Zhong, someone who met Su Yang during his trip to the Thunder Valley. It was at the time where he also met Xie Xingfang, a young miss from the Xie Family with the Heavenly Constitution known as the 'Hundred Poison Body'.
"K-K-You ... What are you doing here?" Elder Zhong asked him without thinking due to his shock.
"To see the young miss again, of course ..." she replied with something that sounded like sarcasm to Elder Zhong.
But little did Elder Zhong know that Su Yang was really serious.
