Chapter 399: Chapter 399 Rankings

The Vermilion Bird looked at Qin Yi with interest, eyes full of admiration: "But relying only on these is still not enough."

Qin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Actually, the most important point is that you can fight me without falling behind in a short time."

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes narrowed slightly, with a slightly teasing tone: "By your account, if we continue fighting, I will surely lose?"

Qin Yi shrugged helplessly, "Possibly."

"Seems you’re not so sure?" the Vermilion Bird asked amusingly.

"You’ve been famous for so long, regarded as gods by the world. Surely, you have some trump cards up your sleeve, so I wouldn’t dare claim victory easily!"

The Vermilion Bird was startled for a moment, then chuckled, "You sound just like what the Azure Dragon says."

"What does that old man say about me in front of you?"

"Says you’re thick-skinned."

Qin Yi nodded without responding.

The Vermilion Bird asked curiously, "You’re not going to argue?"

"What’s there to argue? Thick-skinned people get to eat well, thin-skinned people don’t. So, it’s precisely because of this advantage that I can live so comfortably!"

The Vermilion Bird shook his head helplessly.

"Vermilion Bird Guardian God, did you come looking for me for something?"

The Vermilion Bird flipped what he was holding, speaking casually: "I didn’t come looking for you, just passed by. Recently, your fame has risen sharply, I was curious to see what kind of young talent can catch the eye of that picky Azure Dragon?"

"Is this cooked yet?" Qin Yi pointed at the squid skewer.

The Vermilion Bird handed him one.

Qin Yi took a bite, squinting comfortably, casually asking: "What do you think after seeing?"

"Not bad!" the Vermilion Bird said.

"Not bad?" Qin Yi was somewhat dissatisfied.

What he didn’t know was that in this lifetime, those whom the Vermilion Bird rated as "not bad" were few and far between.

The Vermilion Bird smiled and said, "Your cultivation is indeed quite good! But, don’t underestimate the heroes of the world. Each era has its own outstanding talents who stand out."

"There are prodigies in this world, each great family and major power has its own chosen heirs, their talent and comprehension is not much inferior to yours."

"Why do you think you’re the only prodigy in this world?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"Bluffing? If there were many, would they still be prodigies? Wouldn’t they become as common as cabbages on the roadside?"

The Vermilion Bird saw Qin Yi finish his squid skewer and handed him another, smiling as he said, "Actually, I, the White Fox, and the Xuanwu have long identified our heirs and are training them meticulously. Only the Azure Dragon has not identified one yet."

Qin Yi was startled, surprised, "You’re not saying that your heirs aren’t any weaker than me, are you?"

The Vermilion Bird looked at Qin Yi and nodded seriously.

Qin Yi was unconvinced, "I don’t believe it, haven’t you heard of my glorious achievements of single-handedly defeating many? Those family heirs aren’t my match at all."

"Qin Yi, I ask you, would you actively challenge someone?"

"Of course not, because no one is worth me challenging."

The Vermilion Bird looked at him, smiling without a word.

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, his expression turned ugly as he said, "So according to you, those so-called prodigies think I don’t deserve them taking action against me?"

The Vermilion Bird teased, "What do you think?"

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, took a ferocious bite of his squid skewer, even breaking the stick, and said in a muffled voice, "I know why you came looking for me, just to discourage me, right? But you got the wrong idea. No matter whether it’s pride or prodigy, whoever comes, I’ll take them down."

"Because I am the prodigy among prodigies, I will stand out."

The Vermilion Bird chuckled and said, "You’re already outstanding enough! In times when these people don’t want to stand out, mentioning the younger generation in Longxia surely brings you to mind, you are indeed standing out."

Qin Yi only felt a blockage in his heart, uncomfortable and unhappy, "You mean to say that the reason I stand out is because they let me?"

"Not entirely, also because your cultivation is strong."

Qin Yi nearly spat old blood, dissatisfied, "Are you trying to comfort me?"

"No, the Azure Dragon said you were too arrogant and had me find a way to check you, to add some obstacles for you."

Qin Yi grinned and said, "That old man really isn’t good. Congratulations, you succeeded. But you’ve also succeeded in making me angry."

"And then?" the Vermilion Bird’s face showed amusement.

Qin Yi squinted slightly, "Then when I meet your heir, I’ll give them a good beating."

The Vermilion Bird laughed, pulled out a name list from his body and threw it to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi caught it and asked, "What’s this?"

"The current known rankings of strong young individuals."

Qin Yi opened it for a glance, instantly dizzy, "So many?"

This list showed fully a hundred people ranked.

"Now do you realize you’re not the only prodigy?"

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, "You just said, known?"

The Vermilion Bird said, "That’s right, these are the known prodigies. Naturally, there are unknown ones not on the list."

"Why give this to me?" Qin Yi asked.

"Nothing much, just to let you know, the world is vast."

Qin Yi ground his teeth, grumbling, "Thank you and your whole family."

"You’re welcome!"

Qin Yi: "..."

He flipped through the list in his hand, casually saying, "Are your heirs on here?"

The Vermilion Bird nodded.

"Which one?" Qin Yi asked.

The Vermilion Bird said, "Murong Qianxun."

"Hmm? A woman?"

The Vermilion Bird teased, "What? Look down on women?" saying this while glancing toward Xia Yanbing and the others not far away.

Qin Yi smiled, "No, just surprised! After all, I’ve seen women who are no less than men."

Then, Qin Yi squinted slightly, "Your heir is only ranked seventh?"

"No, if those unknown strong young individuals act, she might be ranked seventeenth."

Qin Yi was surprised; thus it seemed the Vermilion Bird wasn’t lying. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be belittling his own disciple?

"What’s the Xuanwu old man’s heir’s name?"

Not waiting for the Vermilion Bird to answer, Qin Yi mumbled to himself, "Could it be this one called Xuan Zhan?"

"That’s him," the Vermilion Bird said.

Qin Yi was shocked, "This guy only ranks ninth?"

"What’s the White Tiger’s heir’s name?"

"Bai Siyin."

Qin Yi was stunned, "Also a woman?"

"A man."

Qin Yi was utterly taken aback, a man called Bai Siyin, and as the heir to the notorious White Tiger Guardian God.

"This name? Sounds feminine." Qin Yi grinned, full of disdain, then his eyes squinted slightly, "He actually ranks fourth?"

"Bai Siyin completely inherited the White Tiger’s style, fierce in combat, strong in cultivation, enough to rank in the top five, without any padding."

"Damn..."

Qin Yi looked from top to bottom, suddenly let out a colorful metaphor.

"What’s up?" the Vermilion Bird asked curiously.

Qin Yi angrily said, "My name isn’t even on the list."
