Jiang Yunnuan and the others followed the Ke brothers toward Yingke Peak.
Along the way, Ke Chongbo asked, "Brother, what room did you arrange for Nuan Nuan? Is it the Heavenly No. 1 room?"
Ke Chongzhen nodded. "Yes, room no. 1."
"That's great!" Ke Chongbo immediately cheered. Then he turned to Jiang Yunnuan and the others, "That's the best room, it's reserved for the contestant most likely to win the championship!"
Jiang Yunnuan felt a bit embarrassed, "You have too much confidence in me, I can't guarantee I'll win."
"Hah! With your level, there's definitely no problem!" Ke Chongbo waved his hand and laughed.
He had complete confidence in Jiang Yunnuan.
During the half month of preparation, he had personally witnessed how rapidly Jiang Yunnuan improved under Mu Shiyue's guidance.
At first she could only refine simple little items. But later, the artifacts she produced became increasingly powerful.
Of course, the room she used for artifact refining had almost exploded several times.
Fortunately, Meng Fanzé had set up an array in that room. Otherwise, the house would've collapsed already.
Ke Chongbo's confidence in Jiang Yunnuan mainly came from Mu Shiyue.
With Master Mu being so powerful, there's no way the disciple she taught could be bad!
It's a pity that his own spirit roots were unsuitable. Otherwise, he would've followed along to learn as well.
The group chatted and laughed, soon arriving at Yingke Peak.
Seeing Ke Chongzhen and the others approaching, Tan Fangjun immediately stepped forward with a wide, enthusiastic smile.
However, aside from Ke Chongzhen, no one knew how miserable he felt inside.
Remembering Ke Chongzhen's fury when he came to confirm the room arrangement, Tan Fangjun wished he could slap himself!
—How could he have been so self-righteous?!
The disciple had clearly said that Heavenly No. 1 room was arranged by Ke Chongzhen. Why didn't he believe them?
If he believed them, then none of the troubles afterwards would've happened!
Just earlier, Tan Fangjun had forced himself to go and ask Jiang Yuanxin to vacate Room No. 1.
Even now, he could still remember the look of disbelief on her face!
Jiang Yuanxin had already been living in Room No. 1 for over half a month, and the surrounding contestants all knew her identity.
Other contestants had vaguely heard about the situation with the room, and no one had objected to her staying there.
After all, she already had quite a reputation.
But who could've imagined that Tan Fangjun would suddenly ask her to move out of Room No. 1?!
Thinking about such an embarrassing incident made Tan Fangjun want to bang his head against the ground!
What kind of chaotic mess was this?!
But after weighing the pros and cons, Tan Fangjun decided that Ke Chongzhen was far more terrifying!
Although Jiang Yuanxin was the contestant most likely to win first place and had a powerful Master, Ke Chongzhen wasn't someone to be offended either!
Among their family of four, three were cultivators at Spirit Severing Stage!
It wasn't as if his head was filled with water, how could he dare go against them!
Besides, the Ke Family were members of Changtian Sect. As a member of the sect himself, local authority outweighed outside power, Tan Fangjun could only bow his head.
Moreover, Ke Chongzhen himself wasn't someone to mess with.
Don't just judge him by his usual gentle temperament, once he became serious, who would dare oppose him?
Tan Fangjun was crying bitterly inside while the smile on his face grew even brighter.
"Welcome, everyone—ah! It's you!"
Once he saw the several people's appearances clearly, Tan Fangjun's complexion instantly turned pale.
Aren't these the same young people he had encountered at the Chu Family?!
Although there were two additional young men and women, he definitely recognized the others!
And he had even suffered quite a loss because of them!
Tan Fangjun's expression became extremely colourful.
Right, wasn't the reason he had been tricked back then because of Ke Chongbo?
Ke Chongbo and Ke Chongzhen were brothers!
So it's perfectly normal that they knew Chu Jingzhuo and the others!
Damn it!
No wonder the name Wanxuan Sect sounded familiar earlier, they had crossed paths before!
Seeing Tan Fangjun's shocked expression, Jiang Yunnuan and the others were also surprised, "Oh, it's you."
Ke Chongbo also raised an eyebrow, "So it's you, what a coincidence."
Tan Fangjun's face stiffened. His lips twitched for a long time, leaving him momentarily speechless.
At that moment, only one thought filled his mind.
—He must really be cursed when it comes to this group of people!
"You knew each other?" Ke Chongzhen asked, puzzled.
"Yes!" Ke Chongbo said with a grin. "We had some dealings before—"
"Second Young Master!" Tan Fangjun suddenly snapped awake in panic and quickly interrupted with a fawning smile. "The room has already been prepared, why don't we let our future Artifact Master move in first?"
Future Artifact Master.
Those words made Jiang Yunnuan blush immediately, her mood instantly improving.
Although her ambitions weren't quite that lofty, hearing someone praise her like that still made her very happy.
"You must be Master Jiang Yunnuan, right?" Tan Fangjun's gaze fixed on her.
After all, the other two beautiful girls appeared far too calm, making the distinction obvious.
"I'm Jiang Yunnuan." She pressed her lips together and waved her hands modestly. "But I'm not a master yet, I'm still very far from that level."
"That's only a matter of time!" Tan Fangjun said cheerfully. "I have great confidence in you!"
His unrestrained praise made Jiang Yunnuan blush even more.
The others exchanged glances.
Why was he so enthusiastic?
Even if Tan Fangjun had suffered losses in their last encounter, he didn't need to act like this.
Was the Ke family's status in Changtian Sect really that high?
Only Ke Chongzhen, who knew the truth, wore a faint smile on the corners of his lips.
"Alright, let's go inside first," he said.
"Yes, yes, please follow me!" Tan Fangjun quickly changed the subject and led everyone inside.
Jiang Yunnuan finally felt like she could relax a little.
That relentless barrage of exaggerated praise was something she really couldn't handle.
She felt goosebumps rising all over her skin.
The group followed Tan Fangjun further in.
The mountain peak was vast, but surprisingly, the Heavenly No. 1 room wasn't at the summit, it was halfway up the mountain.
Ke Chongzhen explained, "There's a small mineral vein beneath this area, so the spiritual qi here is the most abundant."
The two brothers had eaten and drunk well at Wanxuan Sect and received countless benefits.
Now that they were in Changtian Sect as hosts, they naturally had to offer the best hospitality.
During the competition, Jiang Yunnuan would stay in room no. 1, while the others would be arranged in the best rooms on Minglu Peak and Changwen Peak.
This was their way of repaying Mu Shiyue.
"Thank you, Brother Zhen!" Jiang Yunnuan felt the dense spiritual qi around her and immediately thanked Ke Chongzhen excitedly.
"You're welcome." Ke Chongzhen shook his head with a smile. "If you need anything, just tell me."
Tan Fangjun quickly added, "Yes, yes! If you have any problems, you can come to me as well!"
He also wanted to make up for his mistake earlier!
"Alright, thank you."
After Tan Fangjun left, the group wandered around the room curiously.
Jiang Yunnuan opened the window and looked outside, "The scenery here is beautiful—huh?"
Her words suddenly stopped, she thought she had just seen a face that was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar.
