Chapter 136 - Hero Ranking
Xie Lianzhen kept his promise. The name-list was sent to Lu Mingshu the next day.
The journey to the Jade West Mountain Forest was one of the conditions to cooperate with Nine Jade Palace. Not many disciples went – less than thirty.
The name-list that Xie Lianzhen sent had the personal details of every disciple.
Name, sex, age, place of birth, experience... it like a résumé. A name-list that told the life stories of the disciples who went.
After studying the name-list in detail, there was no one whose information seemed out of place.
The name-list was perfectly normal. Even the family history was written down, and there was nothing that seemed suspicious.
Since the name-list couldn't help much, she could only investigate it herself.
If Lu Mingshu could have a chance to talk to the disciples in-person, she might find some clues. However, Xie Lianzhen would never agree to that because it would be an invasion of the Seventh Truth Platform's privacy.
Xie Lianzhen gave her the Metro Star because he wanted to lend her a helping hand, not because he owed her anything. He could reject any request that was too unreasonable.
Let me figure it out myself. If I owe him too many favors, I'll have to return them all later.
"Junior Niece Lu," Tan Yubing knocked on her door, "We have to get going."
"Okay," Lu Mingshu folded the name-list and put it in her mustard seed pouch.
The Qilin Festival started tomorrow, and the participants had to gather at the meeting place.
The Qilin Festival wasn't held at Tianyun City, but to the north of Tianyun City, on the Greatest Morning Mountain – where the Seventh Truth Platform was located.
They left the hotel together. On the way, people were all staring at them and whispering.
Tan Yubing chuckled, "Junior Niece Lu, you're famous after your battles. All of them are looking at you!"
Her competing at the arenas every day wasn't a secret, and Lu Mingshu had no intention of hiding it from Tan Yubing anyway.
However, Lu Mingshu didn't look pleased with what she saw; "It's hard to tell if they're praising me or criticizing me."
Tan Yubing burst out laughing.
Indeed. Some were admiring her while some were talking nonsense about her. "A person who is full of knowledge is generally quiet, but one who only has partial knowledge makes a lot of unnecessary noise," or "A genuine successor disciple came here just to battle with commoners?" or "Can't she have some moderation? Let's see how she competes during the Qilin Festival."
She rarely even left the hotel, and yet word got around so quickly that even Yin Hong sent some people over to yell at Lu Mingshu.
Lu Mingshu was too lazy to give a damn. Whether she would be sold or not and for how much was out of Yin Hong's control anyway. Lu Mingshu still hadn't met the person who had the final say.
When they arrived at the plaza, both of them were shocked.
"So many people!" Tan Yubing gasped in surprise.
With the Kowloon Stage in the middle, this was the biggest plaza in Tianyun City. It could surely hold more than a million people.
The corner of the plaza was filled with different vehicles. There were ships that were as tall as ten people, shining golden ships, and pavilions on the backs of the spirit beasts.
