I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1090 - 1091 Meeting Senior Brothers and Sisters

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1091: Meeting Senior Brothers and Sisters Chapter 1090 -1091: Meeting Senior Brothers and Sisters On the following morning,

Li Xiaobai, holding an invitation, headed to White Jade Tower.

Not only could he meet the many exceptional talents who had arrived on the island today, but he would also catch a glimpse of the true face of the Island Master’s disciple. Places like this, crowded and filled with chatter, where many important figures gathered, were the easiest in which to gather news.

Accompanying him were four female disciples from the Hundred Flowers Sect, who all seemed to be homebodies. During yesterday’s magnificent Ancient Dragon Pavilion auction, they remained as calm as Mount Tai, not even stepping out of their rooms, and refrained from participating in the auction.

“Young Master Han, our sisters have already made contact with Senior Sister Su, and we have informed her of your situation. We believe that upon meeting at the White Jade Tower, she will take great liking to you,”

Bai Hehua said with a light smile.

“I am truly looking forward to it. Speaking of which, your Senior Sister and I are old acquaintances, though I wonder if she will still recognize me upon seeing my face again,”

Li Xiaobai chuckled. While the auction at Ancient Dragon Pavilion might have been a minor affair, the trip to White Jade Tower was truly entering a den of dragons and tigers. Not only were there cultivators of the Saint Realm present, but also the proud sons of heaven from various powers toasting and talking merrily; such a grand occasion was rare to see.

White Jade Tower was a towering building of snow-white construction. Despite its size, it was exquisitely crafted, with nine huge dragons intricately carved, winding around a stone bead. This symbolized “Nine Dragons Play with Pearl,” capable of attracting all the wealth of the world and standing unshakable.

This ancient tower had no door; a white cold toad squatted at the entrance, with a large mouth that could swallow mountains and rivers. Cultivators kept entering its mouth one after another and then vanished from sight.

The mouth of this cold toad was the entrance to White Jade Tower.

“This construction of White Jade Tower is indeed a rarity. It’s just that the symbolism of entering like this is somewhat ominous,”

Li Xiaobai commented as he watched the direction in which the crowd disappeared, voluntarily entering into someone’s mouth, which, at first glance, seemed rather unlucky.

“White Jade Tower has always been like this. It’s usually not a place for people to live. The placement of this cold toad here symbolizes the drawing of wealth from all over the world, with the intent of garnering endless fortune. Who knows, passing through it, we might also brush with some financial luck,”

Bai Hehua laughed, seemingly unconcerned.

They followed the stream of people and stepped into the mouth of the cold toad. It was dark and deep. Li Xiaobai felt a warm sensation at the chest of his robe, and then a beam of red light shot out. The cold toad took the invitation; this was a verification process for the entrance permit to prevent anyone from trying to mix in without one. Today, White Jade Tower extended its invitation to the heroes of the world, and only cultivators with invitations could enter.

After walking dozens of steps, the scene suddenly opened up, and they entered the ancient tower.

“Look over there—that’s the talented youth from the great Super Sects!”

“Yes, I saw the prodigy from Ice Dragon Island. Last year, I challenged him on the Immortal Ranking, but sadly, I was defeated.”

“That one must be the Island Master, truly a beauty that could overturn states. The rumors are true, even in her later years; she remains graceful and pitiable upon sight!”

“Hush, be careful with your words. That’s the Island Master. If you’re accused of disrespect, you might lose your head!”

“They say there are so many young talents here this time, certainly over a thousand. This is probably the central force of the younger generation in the entire Central Origin Realm. In the future, once we step into the Half-Saint Realm and hold high positions within our sects, we will likely be dealing with these various sect disciples.”

The young talents were thrilled inside, being invited to partake in such a grand ceremony for the first time in many years. Top disciples from various sects had gathered on Ice Dragon Island to demonstrate their skills, and it had been a long time since they felt such surging bloodlust.

Li Xiaobai also felt a novel tide of excitement. Everyone here was a genius, and if someone with ill intentions struck a blow to kill all these geniuses, the major sects would likely face a shortage of successors in the future.

However, what he thought about even more was that only those with invitations were allowed to enter. The preceding seniors of the major sects had not followed, so if he kidnapped all these guys, wouldn’t he make a huge fortune?

“Forget it, it’s enough to just think about it. This place is Ice Dragon Island’s turf, and previously, the Second Elder suggested that, besides the Island Master, he and the Great Elder would also attend. If I start trouble here, I’m afraid even a Saint Realm Godzilla wouldn’t be sufficient to deal with it. Better to focus on sneakily gaining strength,” Li Xiaobai murmured to himself. His way of thinking had already changed compared to cultivators of the same rank. While the other disciples were thinking of how to network with geniuses from other super sects, he was considering how to deal with the Saint Realm powerhouses of Ice Dragon Island and capture all the disciples present in one fell swoop. If anyone knew his real thoughts, they would be thoroughly shocked.

His gaze quickly swept across the crowd, and amidst the sea of people, he vaguely spotted two figures, sneaky and somewhat aged, standing out from the youthful disciples. When he tried to take a closer look, the figures vanished without a trace.

“Young Master Bai, our Hundred Flowers Sect’s Senior Sister Su is over there!”

Bai Hehua tugged at Li Xiaobai’s sleeve, pointing in a direction.

The ancient pavilion was quite spacious, with long tables and cushions on both sides for disciples to sit and rest. At the very front, to the right of the Island Master, were ten Taishi Chairs, each occupied by a genius from the major super sects.

These ten special Taishi Chairs were different from others, and although the Island Master did not explicitly state it, it was clear to anyone that these seats were reserved for the geniuses of the super sects and were off-limits to others.

Nine out of the ten chairs were occupied, with only the last one remaining vacant.

When Li Xiaobai saw the faces of the cultivators seated in the chairs, his expression suddenly became odd.

Wow, six out of the nine people are old acquaintances! The first chair was occupied by none other than Senior Sister Su Yunbing, followed by Second Senior Sister Ye Wushuang, Third Senior Brother Lin Yin, Fourth Senior Brother Yang Chen, Fifth Senior Brother Ling Feng, and Senior Brother Liu Jinshui. As for the other three people he did not know, when had his fellow senior brothers and sisters managed so well, entering the super sects was not surprising to him, but that they had managed in such a short time to become the outstanding disciples of the super sects, and even represent their sects on Ice Dragon Island and sit on these special ten chairs, was indeed unexpected!

“Wait, according to etiquette, the first chair should be vacated for the genius of Ice Dragon Island to sit down, how can Senior Sister Su take that seat? It might cause dissatisfaction among the cultivators of Ice Dragon Island!”

Bai Hehua frowned slightly, speaking with some confusion.

Ice Dragon Island was the host, yet Su Yunbing had simply taken the first chair, which was blatantly disrespectful to the genius of Ice Dragon Island!

Such actions would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the cultivators of Ice Dragon Island.

Noticing this little detail, other cultivators naturally perceived it too, and in no time, the many young talents who had maintained a silent wait for the Island Master to speak began whispering among themselves.

“What’s going on, why is the first chair occupied? Who is that woman, and why haven’t we seen her before?”

“I don’t know. Logically, those sitting in these chairs should be the geniuses of the major super sects, but how come I don’t recognize any?”

“Right, the three in the back I know, they’re extraordinary talents. But where did those six in front come from? Never seen them before!”
