His gaze moved and eventually settled on Jiang Shichang. “Was what I just said accurate, Young Master Jiang?”

“So what?” he asked, glancing at Yuwen He. “The Jiang and Yuwen families have always maintained that well water does not intrude into river water, so you should mind your own business!”

“Can’t Young Master Jiang figure it out? Yuwen He, the Young Master Yuwen, is also fascinated with the beautiful woman in red.” Another man burst out laughing. After a quick glance at the two, his gaze was drawn to Feng Jiu. “Unexpectedly, the Colosseum has become an interesting drama of a duel for a beautiful woman.”

When Feng Jiu heard this, she stopped speaking and asked the steward to arrange another dance. At this point, the previously ignored Bai Xianxian reappeared, still leading the dance but occasionally looking at Feng Jiu.

Both of them were women. She was like mud on the ground, while the other woman was like a cloud in the sky. She couldn’t help but feel envious when she saw so many young masters from influential families trying hard to please her and even using tricks to get her.

Since they were both humans, why did she stand out so much from the rest?

The news of the bet between these influential families’ young masters spread over time, but because the location was in the sky and it would cost two thousand gold coins to get there, each family sent one or two people to investigate.

In some rooms that hadn’t been mentioned, guests were seated and drinking tea and wine as they awaited the unfolding excitement. A middle-aged man and an elderly man were seated and chatting in one of the rooms behind the crystal curtain, where the figures behind could only be seen dimly.

“Who do you think will win?” The middle-aged man asked while sipping wine.

“Is it even necessary to ask?” The elderly man smiled as he stroked his beard, and looked at the figure in red. “Don’t you have a clear idea about it, too?”

“Haha.” The middle-aged man chuckled. “I have no idea what this girl’s contract beast will be.”

“I’m sure it’s not mediocre. However, these two appear unfamiliar to me. They can’t possibly be from Cardinal Point City, can they?” The elderly man asked while observing Feng Jiu.

“Hmm, I’ve never met or heard of a person like that.” The middle-aged man drank the wine and smiled, “I’m looking forward to it very much! This is even more thrilling than watching people and beasts fight.”

“The battle between people and beasts is cruel; without the survival jade token, one would end up being swallowed alive.” The elderly man sighed and shook his white head.

“There is a risk in every pursuit. There is nothing easy to obtain in this world.” The middle-aged man spoke leisurely. He looked at the elderly man as if he remembered something and asked, “How about you? Have you not found the Longevity Fruit after so long?”

The elderly man gave a bitter smile. “Do you think it’s so easy to find this Longevity Fruit? I’ve been trying to find it for three years, but I haven’t heard any news about it.”

“It takes 500 years to bloom and another 500 years to produce fruit. Each longevity fruit can give you an extra hundred years. It is extremely precious. Even if there is one, no one is likely to take it out because it is so valuable. Everyone hoards it for a time of need.” The middle-aged man said slowly. He looked at the man with white hair and said, “No one will be able to tell from your old face that you’re three years younger than me.”

The elderly man sighed, shook his head, and appeared helpless. “I’ve been ageing faster in the last two years, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
