Chapter 788 Shocking Everyone
Xia Yeran spread her hands, looking like she didn't know either.
"I knew Brother Ye Ran was the best." Xia Linglong told the lie excitedly.
In her heart, Lin Ping was the most powerful. Even though Xia Yeran had the ability to mend the sky, it was still not as good as a single hair on Lin Ping's head.
"Could there be a mistake?" Xia Yeran once again expressed her innocence.
This is a list of extraordinary people, a list covering the entire world. Even if he is a decent prince who has achieved some political success in the Wu Kingdom.
However, there are quite a few princes in the world whose abilities are comparable to his.
How can someone with no reputation or fame make it onto the list?
"Why is he on the list?" Finally, someone raised a question.
Everyone wanted an explanation, including Xia Yeran herself.
Fan Li's face was clearly somewhat embarrassed. He was really unhappy to be overshadowed by a mere prince, especially since Xia Yeran had once served as his advisor.
This is like the guest overshadowing the host?
"The Chiyang Pavilion's list is never wrong. As for the reason, it will be revealed in half a month," Jiang Mo said coldly, having no interest in explaining it to them in a painstaking manner.
"Fine, we'll wait half a month then," many people said indignantly.
After this matter came to a close, Du Yitong dropped another bombshell.
"Ranked eighth on the list of extraordinary individuals, Meng Qingge, a female merchant from the Daye Dynasty!"
Just a quarter of an hour ago, this name was unfamiliar to most people, except for some wealthy merchants in Kyoto.
Just now, she caused quite a stir; everyone knows her name.
This aroused even more curiosity among the crowd: how could a mere second-rate family rise to eighth place on the list of extraordinary people?
Could it be that the list of extraordinary people is divided according to their wealth level? The top names are all among the wealthiest merchants in Kyoto.
This is completely unreasonable. Fan Li, who is above the four richest merchants, is only ranked tenth, and Meng Qingge is probably eighth.
"Looks like we missed a good opportunity," Xia Yeran joked.
Meng Qingge just extended an olive branch to them; if she were to reveal Lin Ping's whereabouts, she could definitely win them over.
Among hundreds of people, only Bai Tiantian smiled unintentionally.
An unintentional act unexpectedly won over the eighth-ranked person on the list of extraordinary individuals.
Although he didn't know what benefits Meng Qingge could bring him, he was currently receiving countless admiring glances.
The general must have the ability to foresee the future; otherwise, why would he treat the unknown Meng Qingge with such courtesy?
"You must be mistaken, sir. As far as I know, the Meng family is merely a second-rate aristocratic family," Fan Li was the first to raise the question.
If Meng Qingge's ranking is confirmed, his situation will become passive.
He even regretted not trying to win Bai Tiantian over before she did.
On the other hand, who would have thought that Meng Qingge would be on the list?
Du Yitong raised the scroll high, letting everyone see the line of small characters at the bottom.
"The richest man in Kyoto in one month!"
A collective sigh rippled through the crowd; not many people truly believed in Meng Qingge's potential.
To put it nicely, this is prophecy; to put it bluntly, it's just... wild guessing.
However, they dared not openly doubt the abilities of the Crimson Sun Pavilion, and could only wait with little interest for the next ranking to appear.
"Miss, did you hear that? They say you're going to become the richest person in Kyoto!"
The little girl always showed her joy on her face and loved to dream about the future.
Meng Qingge was somewhat confused. In recent days, the Meng family had indeed become much stronger, but they were still some distance from being the richest family in Kyoto.
Moreover, these changes were thanks to Lin Ping, but now that he has run away from home, the Meng family is in an awkward situation of stagnation.
"It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it. Maybe what awaits Miss Meng is indeed a panoramic view ahead." Bai Tiantian revealed a rare smile.
He was willing to believe in the list of extraordinary people.
"Thank you for your kind words, General. I will certainly live up to your expectations and strive forward." Meng Qingge said with a serious expression, showing a spirit that shows she is no less capable than any man.
She dislikes currying favor, but she wouldn't refuse if Bai Tiantian offered her a hand.
Bai Tiantian nodded in satisfaction. "This general will wait and see."
Being able to win over the richest man in Kyoto in advance was a good choice, and this was an unexpected gain for Bai Tiantian.
After two unremarkable names were announced, people's expectations dropped a bit, fearing that the top spots on the list were all undeserved.
Before the crowd could lose interest, Jiang Mo unfurled the next scroll:
"Ranked seventh on the list of extraordinary individuals, the Gu King of Miao Jiang."
The name itself is chilling.
Most people know about Miao territory and Gu magic, but these are all hearsay, and whether they actually exist is another matter.
Now that the Crimson Sun Pavilion has brought the Gu technique into the open, it not only proves the authenticity of the Gu technique but also demonstrates its terrifying nature; otherwise, the Gu King would not have made it onto the list of extraordinary people.
This time, no one dared to raise any questions; everyone was waiting for Jiang Mo's chilling explanation.
"The Gu King of Miao Jiang not only commands three thousand disciples of the Witch Clan, but his Gu skills are also unparalleled. In one-on-one combat, he is no less than a top expert."
Everyone was shocked again. Images of green-faced witch sect disciples and terrifying poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions flashed through their minds.
They even imagined the Gu people growing green hair and their skin peeling off inch by inch.
In short... it's pretty scary.
With his exceptional skills and three thousand disciples, it's no surprise that the Gu King made it onto the list of extraordinary individuals.
However, not a single person considered trying to win over the Gu King.
I'm afraid they'll die from the Gu worms before they even reach the heart of Miao territory.
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine; who would dare to mess with the Gu King?
The appearance of the Gu King rekindled everyone's curiosity, and they were eager to know the higher ranking.
The next name is even more lethal.
"Sword Demon!" Du Yitong uttered the name that didn't sound like a real name.
"Who is this person? Where is he/she? Why is there no identification?"
Everyone was puzzled, feeling that the name "Sword Demon" was somewhat strange.
"Is he a human or a ghost?" someone asked loudly.
"people!"
Du Yitong slowly said:
"Three years ago, the Sword Demon single-handedly killed a hundred experts from the five major sects, and became famous overnight!"
Most people here are wealthy businessmen who don't understand the definitions of masters or sects; they simply think they're awesome.
He killed a hundred people single-handedly, and they were all experts. What kind of strength did he have?
Furthermore, the Gu King, with his three thousand disciples and unparalleled Gu techniques, barely ranks seventh, while the Sword Demon, all by himself, manages to rank sixth.
In other words, the Sword Demon's abilities alone are greater than those of the Gu King and the entire Witch Clan.
"Could the Sword Demon also have a Demonic Sect?"
This is indeed somewhat unbelievable; no wonder people are curious.
“One man and one sword are enough!” Du Yitong replied, word by word.
There was an uproar at first, then silence fell, and even the heartbeat of Old Wang next door could be heard clearly.
By the time they came to their senses, the envoy from the Crimson Sun Pavilion had already left, leaving only whispers of discussion.
