#2354 - Sophir
You can’t discuss ice with a summer insect.
In the world of cultivators, numbers don't necessarily equate to strength.
Sometimes, even a small difference in cultivation realm can be an insurmountable gap.
If the difference is a major realm, the disparity only grows larger.
Qin Yi's current cultivation breakthrough speed is already light-speed for a normal cultivator...
His battle prowess is also at the pinnacle of his cultivation level!
Who else can fight across multiple major realms!
The other Immortal Emperors at the banquet simply want everyone to band together for warmth.
Because their growth space is limited and their cultivation improvement speed is too slow.
They need to continue living in Sky City in the future, so this is their only option.
But the situation is different for Qin Bu Yi.
He would rather seize the time to finish his current tasks and then break through his cultivation realm.
A strong person doesn't need to lower themself for social compatibility.
Because a strong person represents a circle in themselves!
Even if he is the only one in this circle, countless creatures will want to join.
Even if the Sky Wind Group is really targeted by many forces in Sky City in the future.
As long as Qin Bu Yi's battle strength is sufficient, he can instantly resolve the situation.
This is one of the benefits of strength!
Other Immortal Emperors who noticed Qin Bu Yi couldn't help but wonder:
"This mysterious Emperor Qin is really aloof. Aren't we all attending the City Lord's banquet to make more connections and form alliances?"
"Who knows what this Emperor Qin is thinking? Perhaps he is too proud and looks down on us. After all, he is a powerhouse who has killed a Second-Rank Immortal Emperor."
"Why are you saying that in such a sour tone? Everyone has witnessed Emperor Qin's strength. There's no need to say such unnecessarily bitter words."
"It's not that I'm being sour. I've been watching this Emperor Qin since the beginning of the banquet, and he just found a corner to sit down and ignored everyone."
...
The Sky City Lord naturally noticed this scene as well. She walked curiously to Qin Bu Yi and asked:
"Does Emperor Qin have something on his mind today?"
Qin Bu Yi glanced at the Sky City Lord, who was enough to make most men's blood boil, and then lowered his eyes, saying, "Nothing. I'm just not good at talking."
The Sky City Lord was surprised to see that the other party was so...calm about her beauty!
She couldn't help but reveal a playful look on her face.
Over the years, she had been extremely confident in her appearance.
It's no exaggeration to say that if she were to announce that she was seeking a husband, countless powerhouses would flock to her.
"What a fake. I've seen this trick of trying to get a woman's attention many times."
With this thought in mind, the Sky City Lord simply sat down next to Qin Bu Yi.
In her mind, she and Qin Bu Yi actually had similar feelings about this banquet.
Qin Bu Yi looked down on these guys and felt that talking to them was a waste of time.
The Sky City Lord, on the other hand, felt extremely disgusted with these guys who coveted her beauty.
Beauties like to be admired, but there is one thing... being admired by excellent people makes them feel happy.
Being admired by those whose eyes and expressions reveal filth only affects their good mood.
In the Sky City Lord's eyes, Qin Bu Yi's performance was just 'faking it'.
So she might as well play along with him here and see when he reveals his true colors.
The Sky City Lord has done similar tricks many times over the years.
Every time she watched these men tear off their 'fake' facade little by little, she felt a strong sense of contempt in her heart.
As the most captivating beauty of the entire banquet, the Sky City Lord's every move was naturally closely watched.
When the other Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses saw her sitting next to Qin Bu Yi, their expressions couldn't help but show some jealousy.
"Hmph, what qualifications does this guy have to gain the Sky City Lord's attention? It's so frustrating! Damn it!"
"If I had known, I would have found a corner and pretended to be a fake, but in reality, I would be planning something dirty in my heart. Men know men best!"
"I never thought that the Sky City Lord, who is my goddess, would actually like this kind of thing. It's really hard to know what to say. Her taste is a bit strange."
"You guys clearly don't understand the Sky City Lord. Don't worry, this is a trick she often uses. I was once tricked by this kind of trick."
...
Qin Bu Yi felt the gazes on his side intensifying because the Sky City Lord was sitting next to him.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
He really had no interest in the Sky City Lord.
A pink skeleton is fleeting...
Moreover, he already has his beloved Hong Lian. He is very devoted in matters of love.
He has no other messy thoughts.
Whether one is strong or not, one should restrain the 'beast' instincts within oneself.
Many beings who cultivate to a very high realm often have strong desires in their hearts.
It can be said that strong people are basically divided into two extremes.
One is to constantly wear down their inner desires as they cultivate.
The other is that as their cultivation realm gets higher and higher, their inner desires also become more and more intense.
The Sky City Lord noticed the impatient expression on Qin Bu Yi's face and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart.
"This guy... his acting is pretty good."
Even now, she doesn't believe that Qin Bu Yi has no interest in her.
Just then, Qin Bu Yi's voice entered her ears: "Sky City Lord, because of your arrival, I have received a lot of attention."
This sentence was spoken relatively euphemistically. The underlying meaning was already subtly reminding the Sky City Lord to retreat if she should, and not continue to stay by his side.
Many of the powerhouses attending the banquet were a little stunned to hear Qin Bu Yi's words:
"What did I just hear? This guy actually politely rejected the Sky City Lord, Sophie! He's actually going to reject this kind of good thing that you can't even find with a lantern!"
"Don't be so excited. There's also a term called 'playing hard to get'. He's obviously playing this trick now. If you're so excited, wouldn't you be letting his inner thoughts succeed?"
"I learned another trick from Emperor Qin. I will use this trick well in the future. Maybe I can make the goddess in my heart submit to me. Then, hehehe..."
"Can you not laugh so lewdly? Do you know why Sophie hates us? It's entirely because some of us are too lewd."
...
The Sky City Lord Sophie smiled and said, "Emperor Qin, I don't think being noticed is a bad thing."
"On the contrary, if you can gain everyone's attention, it proves that you are very popular."
Qin Bu Yi shook his head and said, "I know myself very well. It's not that I'm very popular, but that you are very popular."
"In the primitive times of the mortal world, they had to drink blood. Being noticed often meant... possibly facing a life-or-death decision."
Sophie's expression couldn't help but stiffen slightly when she heard the little story Qin Bu Yi told her.
This guy is really a bit... different.
She also knew a little about primitive people.
Most of the time when all primitive people were most noticed, it was mostly when they were surrounded by wolves, or when they faced the judgment of tribal people...
