Chapter 71  : Had Been Participating For a Long Time

“Miss Su, may I know your sect?” The host looked at Su Meng with admiration.

“I’m just an unspecialized.” Su Meng smiled faintly.

As soon as she said this, the crowd went into an uproar. Such an outstanding feng shui master actually didn’t have a sect. The few feng shui masters below the stage all had their eyes on Su Meng and decided to wait for the competition to end and try to recruit her into their sect.

After the first competition ended, there were a total of eight people, including Su Meng. These eight people would rest for a while and wait for the next round. Those who failed would be directly eliminated.

Those who could participate in this competition were all outstanding feng shui masters. Even those who had participated in the first round would be able to brag about this matter in the future.

“I didn’t expect you to be so strong. You actually knew that the stone was a treasure in an instant.” The handsome man walked to Su Meng’s side and spoke with incomparable admiration.

“I was just guessing,” Su Meng said lightly.

“Guessing? Then your luck is too good. Did you know that the stone you chose is always there, no one has ever chosen it. If I had known earlier, I would have chosen that one too. Although the ranking isn’t important, as long as I advance, it would be enough. But, the thing is that it’s cool.” The handsome man sighed, his tone was rather regretful.

He was just casually saying it, but Su Meng was a little interested in this person.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, “It’s always there? So how many years have you participated?”

When the handsome man heard Su Meng ask him this question, his face flushed red. He rubbed his head. He said a little embarrassedly, “Three years. Seriously, every time I’m just a little bit away from first place. This time, I have to get first place! Of course, everyone only has four chances. This is the last time. This time, I have to give it my all!”

“How can you repeat this many times?” Su Meng was puzzled. When she checked the registration rules, she clearly remembered that it said that everyone only had one chance.

“Of course, not everyone can have so many chances. If you get the first place in the competition, you will succeed immediately. Only the second place will have the chance to repeat the competition. If the other participants lose, they will lose. There will be no second chance.”

“So you are really the second place in ten thousand years.” Su Meng understood.

The handsome man: “…”

Although these words were true, why did he feel that it was so strange?

“By the way, my name is Shen Jian. How about we make friends? You are a woman. You don’t have a sect yet, and you were too eye-catching in the first competition. There will definitely be people targeting you later. Why don’t we work together and have a fair duel in the end? Even if you don’t get first place, getting second place will not be a problem.”

Shen Jian was like a bad uncle who deceived children. The corners of his mouth curled up and he revealed an evil smile.

Su Meng stared at him for a while. She tilted her head as if she was deep in thought. Then, she shook her head slowly.

“Your parents died when you were young. After that, you were adopted by a Taoist priest and entered the Celestial Sect of Wonders. However, because you were born an evil lone star, the Taoist priest passed away when you were 16 years old. You were not tolerated by your fellow disciples and were kicked out.”

“Your life is destined to be rough. You will live a poor life. However, if you do more good deeds, you will have a chance to change. If you harbor evil intentions, you will easily die on the streets.”

Shen Jian was shocked halfway through Su Meng’s sentence. He stared at her and did not move.

Su Meng saw him like this and waved her hand in front of his eyes. Only then did Shen Jian slowly come back to his senses.

“Master, are you really just an unspecialized?” Shen Jian’s expression suddenly became serious, losing the frivolous look he had at the beginning.

What Su Meng had just said was not much different from what his master had said back then.

His parents had died in a car accident when he was six years old. His grandmother had been in poor health to begin with, and she had suddenly lost her son. She had been traumatized and passed away two months later. The people who treated him the best left. The remaining relatives took turns to take care of him for three years. During these three years, his cousin, uncle, and aunt passed away one after another.

It was not until he met his master that his master said that he was born an evil lone star and that living with his relatives would implicate them. He saw that he had nowhere to go at such a young age, so he brought him to Mount Zhixing and took care of him until he was sixteen years old.

However, his master also passed away later on. All the disciples and brothers knew that he was destined to be an evil lone star and ostracized him. They said that it was him who had killed his master and collectively chased him out of Mount Zhixing.
