Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 222 - 190: Posting the Rankings

After the two groups met, Bai Jingliang was the first to step forward and greet everyone.

Bai Junya glanced at Han Yu, and immediately her smile was like a blooming flower. She moved gracefully towards him, a fragrant breeze wafting as she soon stood beside Han Yu.

"Dear Junior Sister, just agree to it!"

A dashing young gentleman followed persistently, imploring in a soft tone.

That's a bit much, even doing this in front of him.

Her cousin and Ou Mingdong glanced at Han Yu, fearing he might suddenly explode in anger.

"Senior Brother, I really can't agree."

Bai Junya spoke shyly, seemingly finding it hard to articulate.

Then she glanced at Han Yu and introduced to everyone.

"This is my sect's Senior Brother, Bai Xiangdong."

"Bai Xiangdong!"

Her cousin and Ou Mingdong's voices suddenly raised, startling the young gentleman, whose expression changed as he quickly gestured for silence.

"Don't, don't blurt it out!"

Bai Xiangdong glanced around nervously, appearing uneasy.

It was then that he noticed them and quickly folded his fan, giving a respectful bow, "Greetings, fellow cultivators, may I have your names?"

"Mo Xiuwen of the Mo Family!"

"Ou Mingdong of the Unparalleled Tower, White Emperor City Guardian!"

The two of them returned the courtesy simultaneously.

When it was Han Yu's turn, Bai Junya softly opened her lips to introduce him, "This is Han Yu."

Bai Xiangdong's expression shifted, and he looked at Han Yu with surprise; having his Junior Sister introduce him voluntarily carried a different implication.

In addition, the two beside him were impressive—one from the Unparalleled Tower, and the other...

"The young master of the Mo Family!"

He slightly reacted, then exclaimed in surprise.

"I apologize for the earlier scene. I have a request for my Junior Sister."

Bai Xiangdong explained the previous situation with an embarrassed smile.

We thought it was a drama of a Senior Brother stealing a young Junior Sister.

We thought it was a story of a Senior Brother infatuated with a young Junior Sister.

Her cousin and Ou Mingdong exchanged glances, shrugging slightly.

Meanwhile, outside the city, the crowd was bustling, and after exiting the main road, a cacophony was heard.

For crying out loud, there must be at least three hundred people here.

Upon seeing the crowd, Ou Mingdong's first reaction was to darken his expression.

Which city can gather so many cultivators at once? Any guardian here would have a headache.

He originally wanted to glare at Bai Xiangdong, but this guy covered his face with a fan after exiting the city.

"Isn't this your list? What are you afraid of?"

Han Yu naturally noticed and suddenly chuckled.

"Afraid of being beaten to death."

Bai Xiangdong's face was hidden behind the fan, making his expression unclear, his voice as soft as a mosquito's whine.

Good heavens, you understand lists. You know you could be beaten to death yet still dare to write it.

After the group went to the end of the line, Bai Xiangdong dared to lower his fan, looking troubled.

"I've told you, you'd never believe it. This list was thrown on my head by my sect; it wasn't written by me at all, just published under my name."

They exchanged glances and nodded slightly; how could they not believe it? They all understood the intricacies, coupled with Bai Xiangdong's explanation. If they guessed correctly, this list was likely compiled by the Inspectorate for Dragon and Phoenix Palace.

Then, any disciple from Dragon and Phoenix Palace would not be suitable to receive it, so Bai Xiangdong, the Senior Brother of the sect, was to take the fall.

"You can't avoid it. How will you unveil the list later?"

Han Yu pointed to the five scrolls hanging on the city wall and suddenly spoke.

To this, Bai Xiangdong softly explained, "These scrolls are all magical artifacts. I'll quietly activate them later, without showing my face."

"You can't always avoid showing your face, right? When the lists are updated later, who will come forward?"

Han Yu thought about it. This first time avoiding it might be fine, but in the future, when the list changes, you can't avoid it every time!

Initially, the Inspectorate can publish the list, but in future, it's the cultivators in the Cultivator Realm who will compete for rankings, and someone must be responsible!

"In the future, White Emperor City will have a Heaven-Asking Tower, which will be responsible for list updates. Apart from this time, it will only be compiled and distributed as a book."

Bai Xiangdong explained softly, covering his mouth with the fan.

He didn't notice that Ou Mingdong's face beside him was already as black as charcoal.

Good grief! A Heaven-Asking Tower in White Emperor City; will there still be less cultivator traffic in this city in the future?

Dammit, will there still be peaceful days in the future?

"Afterward, I'll have to rely on Brother Mingdong for more help. Once the Heaven-Asking Tower is established, I'll probably be sent there to oversee it."

Upon saying this, Bai Xiangdong cupped his hands towards the black-faced Ou Mingdong.

"I actually made another list myself, but unfortunately, my Junior Sister isn't helping, so it's still in preparation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Junya's face suddenly turned red, arousing everyone's curiosity.

This guy still thinks it's not chaotic enough?

Create a new list yourself, would the Inspectorate agree?

If it conflicts with the Celestial Pride List, won't it disrupt its plans?

"I want to create the Hundred Flowers List, selecting the top hundred most beautiful female cultivators in the Cultivator Realm. But I'm afraid the list won't be influential enough, so I want my junior sister to be in the top ten for some credibility."

As Bai Xiangdong said this, the three looked at him as if he were an idiot.

The Celestial Pride List already has a knack for offending people, and the Hundred Flowers List is guaranteed to offend most female cultivators, as women care about beauty regardless of being mortals or cultivators.

Those not on the list might criticize Bai Xiangdong to death, and apart from the first place, the rest would only want to beat him up.

Dragon and Phoenix Palace handing him the Celestial Pride List wasn't without its reasons.

With this ability to court disaster, isn't it putting talent to good use?

"Your name will probably stink after today."

Han Yu shook his head at him, but Bai Xiangdong nonchalantly shook a fan, saying.

"It's written by Bai Xiaosheng, what's it got to do with me, Bai Xiangdong?"

The three immediately regarded him with respect. This guy's a real talent; he dares to create a fuss without showing his true face, using a false name instead.

"Then why were you scared just now?"

A cousin teased.

"The thing is, people from our Nine Sects know! I'm guilty."

Bai Xiangdong quickly shook his fan and spoke.

Looking at the sky, it was about time.

After Bai Xiangdong quietly closed his fan, True Essence flickered across his fingertips as he secretly performed a hand seal. The people ahead felt something and turned around only to see Bai Xiangdong chatting and laughing with others.

"The list is out."

Suddenly, someone spoke, and a group of people looked up together.

Five scrolls on the city wall moved simultaneously, dropping down neatly, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.

"First place is Piaomiao City's senior disciple Ye Dongling, twenty-three years old, Divine Gaze Great Perfection!"

The surrounding people were astonished. Twenty-three years old and at Divine Gaze Great Perfection, that's truly monstrous. The Upper Three Sects are indeed different.

There wasn't the slightest controversy about this first place; instead, exclamations of admiration kept coming.

Second place, Nanli Sword Studio Saintess You Li, twenty years old, Divine Gaze Realm.

That sparked some disputes. Many were dissatisfied, given that in the same Divine Gaze Realm, ranking her second seemed like flattering.

"This list is unfair."

"It seems not much to it."

Someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

As the crowd grew more agitated, someone suddenly reminded them.

"Look at the annotations, small letters at the back."

Everyone, being cultivators, naturally had keen eyesight and could clearly see the tiny mosquito-sized notes behind the realms.

"Defeated three in the same realm effortlessly!"

"Can remain unbeaten against six!"

The annotations didn't mention cultivation techniques but explained the reason for her ranking.

"Do you think this Saintess looks like a certain friend?"

A cousin spoke with a strange expression.

Are You Li and You Li the same person?

It seems You Li could also manage multiple tasks at once and fight three.

Was it a mistake, or did You Li deliberately change the name?

"Third place, Unparalleled Tower's Ye Hei?"

Surprisingly, there was little dispute about this.

"Isn't Unparalleled Tower part of the Lower Three Sects? Why does it feel like no one has any objections?"

Han Yu curiously asked Ou Mingdong.

"To be honest, Ye Hei being third is not unexpected."

It was a cousin who answered, and hearing this from the rival Mo Family carries a lot of weight.

"Ye Hei has always handled external affairs of the Unparalleled Tower, widely known, not an obscure figure, which makes acceptance easier. As for his strength, I haven't seen it, so I'm not in a position to judge for the next rank."

Bai Xiangdong fanned himself, frowning.

"My senior's strength is enormous, and I'm clear on that. As to how powerful, even the brothers in the tower are convinced."

Ou Mingdong spoke slowly.

Fourth place is Galan Temple's senior disciple Bu Jing, twenty-two years old, Divine Gaze Realm. The note on the list is Vajra Indestructible, undefeated, typical same-realm cultivators find it hard to break his cultivation technique.

Fifth place...

As everyone continued to look closely, a figure suddenly swept in from the sky, wearing a black robe and a horse-face mask.

"Ma Mian!"

Han Yu's eyes focused, already feeling a heated presence around him.

"This list is a joke!"

Ma Mian waved his hand, and suddenly sand flew and rocks rolled, rushing toward the list...
