"The Holy Venerable Tianmang wants to summon me?"
Lin Fei blinked in astonishment.
In his mind, an image immediately surfaced of the long-haired beauty playing the zither he had encountered while clearing the trials.
"Indeed. Come with me."
The old man spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal. After all, on the entire planet Tianmang, who would ever dream of declining an audience with the Holy Venerable Tianmang?
Standing to the side, Sima Xuan was stunned. She was well aware of what a tremendous stroke of fortune and honor it was to be summoned by the Holy Venerable. At this moment, her admiration for Lin Fei grew even more intense. This honor alone was something even her own Sima clan would never dare to imagine!
Yet, for Sima Xuan, Lin Fei’s meteoric rise was so sudden that it felt like a dream. Once, as the young master of the Lin clan, he had been outstanding among his peers, but he had never truly held her attention. However, ever since he woke from his coma, it was as if he had tapped into some cheat code; every time they met, he left her shocked. Now, hearing that he was to be summoned by the peerless Holy Venerable, Sima Xuan felt not only awe but also deep envy. She even felt a sudden sense of inferiority, as if she were no longer good enough for him—a feeling she had never experienced before. Even in the presence of her grandfather, Sima Zhao, she had never felt this way. The man she once looked down upon was now someone she could no longer hope to reach.
