Collecting his thoughts, Wen Ping continued to calmly preside over the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking competition, and as per the process, he instructed for a heap of jade slips to be brought up.
In the upcoming drawing lots segment, Wen Ping sat back, his gaze not focused on the draw because Sikong Zhuxing had called out to him as soon as he sat down.
"Sect Leader Wen, I am Sikong Zhuxing, also known as Jin Hong. I have no other intentions; I just wish to make friends with Sect Leader Wen. After all, in this world, having more friends is better than having more enemies," Sikong Zhuxing spoke as if Prince Longyang was just air.
In fact, he did this mainly to disgust Prince Longyang, but not purely out of spite, as that would be too low-level.
This move, besides annoying Prince Longyang, was also to test Wen Ping's stance.
