Open up and break into another world

A clear and bright rooster's crow awakened the dawn in Cloudrise City.

Along the broad, smoothly paved bluestone streets, doors and windows opened one after another.

The once-empty roads gradually began to bustle with activity.

Vendors' cries also gradually rose.

“Steamed buns! Selling steamed buns!”

“Baozi! Freshly baked baozi!”

“Hey, you two over there, you've been standing there for days, haven't seen you eat anything, aren't you hungry?” A short man carrying a load of steamed buns called out to a father and daughter standing in front of the Barbarian Martial Institute's gate.

This father and daughter were none other than Ji Guanyu, the Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom, and his daughter, Princess Ji Xiyan.

They had concealed their identities and disguised themselves slightly, standing here, waiting for Xu Ming to come out and apologize.

Although the short steamed bun vendor could tell that the two were dressed in gorgeous clothes and possessed extraordinary bearing, he could never have imagined that their identities would be so noble.

Especially the man, whose status was even higher than that of the Flying Cloud Kingdom's emperor.

Therefore, the short man foolishly approached and asked, “What are you two doing here? Do you want to join the Barbarian Martial Institute? — Let me tell you, it's useless! The Barbarian Martial Institute's recruitment for this year is over; no matter how long you stand here, no one will pay attention to you… By the way, aren't you hungry? Want a couple of steamed buns?”

How could Princess Xiyan, with her noble status, tolerate a steamed bun vendor chattering endlessly beside her; she couldn't help but let a cold glint flash in her eyes, about to take action.

“Stop!” Ji Guanyu transmitted his voice, scolding, “Do you think we haven't caused enough trouble? Just stand quietly!”

After speaking, Ji Guanyu casually tossed a low-grade Xuan Stone over, saying, “Steamed bun vendor, take this! While we're still standing here, I don't want to see you selling steamed buns again!”

There was no way Ji Guanyu would have trash like gold in his storage ring; low-grade Xuan Stones were already the lowest-level items.

The short steamed bun vendor caught the low-grade Xuan Stone and examined it with suspicion: “What is this thing? — You're giving me a broken stone and expect me to stop selling steamed buns? How is that possible…”

Just then, a Barbarian Martial Institute disciple dressed in tight-fitting clothes walked out and saw this scene.

“Damn, a low-grade Xuan Stone!?” This disciple only had the sixth level of External Refinement cultivation, but he had good eyesight.

“Definitely a low-grade Xuan Stone, I can't be wrong!”

“Hey, steamed bun vendor!” The tight-clothed disciple quietly hurried forward and said, “How about selling me this broken stone for a thousand taels of gold!”

“What!? How much!?” the short steamed bun vendor shrieked.

A thousand taels of gold; he could sell steamed buns his whole life and still not earn that much money!

“Come, come, let's go to the corner to talk!” The tight-clothed disciple pulled the short steamed bun vendor away, afraid that others would snatch his good fortune.

This was a Xuan Stone worth one hundred thousand taels of gold!

If he could really buy it for a thousand taels, then this tight-clothed disciple could laugh himself awake even in his dreams.

“Hey, hey, don't pull me, let me get my steamed bun carrying pole!”

“Who cares about the pole! Just throw it away, I'll compensate you with a hundred steamed bun carrying poles!”

As this tight-clothed disciple left, he secretly glanced at Ji Guanyu, thinking, 'Just what kind of big shot is this, to throw away a Xuan Stone like it's trash?'

…

“Finally, some peace and quiet!” Ji Guanyu sighed—being harassed by a steamed bun vendor was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him!

“Father!” Princess Xiyan transmitted her voice, dissatisfied, “Are we just going to keep waiting like this? Or should we ask someone to go in and inform them?”

“You still want to talk back! Isn't it all because of you!?” Ji Guanyu glared and scolded, “How many times have I told you, once you arrive in the Flying Cloud Kingdom, you absolutely cannot be arrogant, absolutely cannot be arrogant! But what about you? — I really gave birth to a good daughter who's a burden! As soon as you arrived in the Flying Cloud Kingdom, you directly offended Palm God Xu Ming…”

“I just didn't know…”

“Shut up!” Ji Guanyu scolded, “I hope Palm God will see our sincerity and not hold it against us!”

Ji Guanyu, the dignified Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom, was so frightened after hearing that his daughter had offended Xu Ming that he personally rushed from the Phoenixfall Kingdom to the Flying Cloud Kingdom.

After arriving here, hearing that Xu Ming was drinking heavily with Wen Shuai and Sun Ji, he didn't even dare to send someone to inform them, but instead stood foolishly outside the Barbarian Martial Institute's gate, standing there for three days!

After all, for martial artists, if they really let loose and drank heavily, it was normal for a drinking session to last for several days!

Xu Ming and his brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally, they had to drink heartily; three days was nothing!

“Mm!” The burly youth replied with a gasp.

Brother Kai?

Ji Guanyu was stunned and immediately stepped forward, cupping his hands and asking, “May I ask if this is Brother Xu Kai?”

“It is!” Xu Kai cupped his hands in confusion, “You are…?”

The aura emanating from the other party was faint, obviously far surpassing his own strength.

What was such an expert doing standing outside the Barbarian Martial Institute's gate?

Moreover, how did he know his name?

Ji Guanyu adopted a very humble posture: “I am Ji Guanyu, the Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom!”

“What!?” Xu Kai was almost frightened into jumping up—Lord Ji Guanyu of the Phoenixfall Kingdom? What was he doing standing outside the Barbarian Martial Institute's gate so early in the morning?

“Lord Ji, why are you standing here…?” Xu Kai was very puzzled.

Just as Ji Guanyu was about to speak, a voice filled with the pressure of an expert resounded within a small area around them.

“A'Kai, don't worry about him! Hurry in, we're all waiting for you!”

“Xiao Ming!” Xu Kai's eyes lit up.

Xu Ming's voice had changed quite a bit compared to before, but Xu Kai still recognized it immediately.

“Is that Brother Ming?” Ji Guanyu immediately shouted at the surrounding air, “I am from Phoenixfall…”

“I know who you are!” Xu Ming's voice rang out again, directly interrupting Ji Guanyu, “I won't hold this matter against you; go back, no need to keep standing there! — A'Kai, come quickly, your wine is poured!”

“Uh…” Xu Kai glanced at Ji Guanyu and his daughter, saying, “I'm going in; you guys should go back too!”

Unexpectedly, this Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom actually said, “I'll wait here a little longer! Although Brother Ming isn't holding it against me, it would be even better if I could have the opportunity to apologize to Brother Ming in person!”

“Alright, then do as you please.”

Xu Kai was inwardly horrified—Xiao Ming was becoming more and more awesome!

The Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom! A Core Formation expert!

Xiao Ming completely ignored him, directly leaving him out in the cold at the Barbarian Martial Institute's gate.

Even more exaggerated was that Xu Ming had already said he wouldn't hold it against him, telling him to go back; yet this Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom still shamelessly waited, wanting to apologize in person—I say, you're still the ruler of a kingdom, can't you have some dignity?

However, Xu Kai quickly understood a principle—in front of Xu Ming, the mere Lord of the Phoenixfall Kingdom, a mere Core Formation martial artist, really wasn't qualified to talk about dignity!

Because Xu Kai discovered in horror—Wen Shuai and Sun Ji's cultivation had actually been raised to the Half-step Spirit Realm!

Any one of them could easily sweep across the entire Phoenixfall Kingdom!

Power? Dignity? — In the face of absolute strength, these were all jokes.

Changing the style of pretending to be a B, but it seems like some friends don't like this style very much…
