Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 184 - Don't Know Shame

Bao Wei held back as best as possible to not sneer directly at Shen Qi's response after knowing the representatives of the Clever Fearing Sect would arrive the last.

'You're no better than them. You guys were the first to agree to the proposal of the Clever Taring Sect about this meeting, but became the last to arrive second of them. You should be ashamed of the representatives of the Northern Ice Fortress and the Flower Wave Sect who came the earliest.' Bao Wei sneered inwardly.

Shen Qi quickly paid no heed to the Clever Fearing Sect and started entering the meeting room before Bao Wei ushered him in. Shen Bai who had yet to step foot followed Shen Qi secretly apologized for his cousin's attitude towards Bao Wei.

"Not a big deal, let's go in." Bao Wei pretended not to bother, but was sincerely friendly towards Shen Bai whose attitude was several times better than that of Shen Qi.

Entering the meeting room, Shen Qi smiled widely after seeing the beauties of the girls, except for Shui Hua and Shui Rong for wearing an ice jade mask.

"Today must be my lucky day. My eyes are so fresh at your beauty, girls." There was only an empty response from Shen Qi's speech, making him grumble inwardly.

Shen Qi then approached the table of Ji Wentian and Huang Mingzhu.

"Ah, Miss Huang. Your beauty is so high, it's not wrong if you're crowned the most beautiful girl of the current generation." Shen Qi noble launched his teasing action.

A faint smile rose from Huang Mingzhu in response. "Brother Shen was overly complimentary. What is the most beautiful girl? Maybe you need to look more closely at the other sister."

"Ah, I am not overly complimenting, but Miss Huang alone is too humble. Your beauty is very alluring and dazzling to the eyes. Maybe I need to change your nickname to Miss Light Fairy of the Sky, I think it suits you."

Shen Qi grew increasingly so with a sweet attitude of teasing his excess and immediately got a sneer from the young man beside Huang Mingzhu.

Feeling quite patient because as if it was not considered Shen Qi who first greeted Huang Mingzhu rather than herself, Ji Wentian finally opened his voice.

"Hmph, for someone who comes from one of the biggest sects, it turns out that your mouth is bigger than your talent, Brother Shen."

Unmitigated Ji Wentian sneered at Shen Qi for teasing Huang Mingzhu unknowingly. Even though they were friends, Ji Wentian himself hesitated to even tend to be afraid to tease the beautiful girl because of Ji Guang's warning.

Hearing Ji Wentian sneer, Shen Qi's mood and attitude changed drastically. He stared at Ji Wentian fiercely.

"What do you mean, Ji Wentian? You want to make trouble with me?" Shen Qi asked coldly.

"You didn't realize it? Hm, I heard you spent so much of the sect's resources. Looking at you right now, it seems like those resources are too wasted for you. Is it possible that your talent isn't as high as I've heard? Or have you been too lazy to practice all this time?" Ji Wentian sneered mockingly.

Shen Qi's countenance grew worse, his face flushed red and his hands clenched firmly holding in anger.

"Ji Wentian.." sizzled Shen Qi.

Apparently Ji Wentian didn't stop there.

"It has consumed so much resources that the sect has given you, but what I have seen is that neither your cultivation nor your sword abilities are as high as I expected. You are too disappointing for the Sword Cultivator, especially since your father is the Sword Pillar."

"Ji Wentian! You-you!"

Ji Wentian's words were indeed true, which was a great disgrace to Shen Qi. Moreover, it was spoken by his rival fellow young cultivators who came from outside the sect. It was very offensive to Shen Qi regardless that it was an embarrassing truth.

Ji Wentian remained calm, but also moved quickly by touching the handle of the sword embedded in his left waist. It was clearly seen that Ji Wentian and Shen Qi were ready to fight using their heirloom swords.

The aura of hostility spread rapidly and the atmosphere became hot instantly. Bao Wei almost cursed and suddenly panicked, as well as Shen Bai. Bao Wei was quite confident the problem would arise in the Young Cultivator Meeting, but did not expect it to appear this soon even before the meeting started.

Before either of the two did anything to resolve the situation, a melodious voice sounded in the tone of warning.

"Please stop, Brother Ji, Brother Shen."

Along with that sentence, the hot temperature of the room due to the fighting aura of the two young men slowly became down due to the chill emanating from Bing Xueyu.

Ji Wentian and Shen Qi compactly sculpted for a moment, before turning to the Ice Fairy followed by another eye view.

"I came all the way here representing my sect to attend this meeting. I still feel tired from the long journey, but until here I was presented with your silly behavior. If you don't give me face, at least you're not acting the same way to Brother Bao and the Jade Treasure Tower as the hosts."

Each of Ji Wentian and Shen Qi kept their hands away from their heirloom swords, while slowly cooling the contents of the head that had been hot.

Seeing the change in the attitude of the two, Bing Xueyu retracted the coldness she emitted, returning the air temperature of the meeting room to normal. "Thank you for your understanding."

Huo Li who had been silently observing, smiled faintly. He intended to mediate the two to look for a better face, but was one step behind Bing Xueyu. Meanwhile, Bao Wei heaved a long sigh of relief. He almost hanged because of these two young men.

Huang Mingzhu patted Ji Wentian on the shoulder. "You'd better just shut up and not have to intervene. I can handle it myself."

Ji Wentian pretended to complain because she should have gotten a thank you.

Shen Qi walked over to Bing Xueyu's desk while putting on a made-up polite smile.

"Miss of the Ice Fairy from the North, you do have peerless beauty. Forgive my demeanor and demeanor that are less pleasing to your heart."

"Hm."

In contrast to Bing Xueyu's response which was not warm but also not cold, Bing Xinhai reacted even harder to Shen Qi.

Bing Xinhai felt that Shen Qi was a shameless youth and as if she had forgotten the embarrassing incident caused by him just a moment ago.

Unable to melt his heart by tempting the Fairy of Light to get his attention, Shen Qi was instead seen changing his target to the Ice Fairy.

"Brother Shen, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your mind? Why can't you just sit idly by instead of being shameless?"
