"Why are you here?" Chen Guan was calculating how to make money when he suddenly heard a familiar voice nearby.

Looking up, Chen Guan saw Jiang Moque staring at him in surprise.

Chen Guan was momentarily stunned, thinking, "Weren't you the one who asked me to come here?"

On second thought, Chen Guan figured out what was going on.

"I should have realized it earlier. Someone like Jiang Qiemo isn't likely to ask for help directly, and even less likely to have Jiang Tianqing relay the request."

Chen Guan pondered for a moment, decided not to expose anything, and said with a smile, "I heard there's something interesting going on here, so I came to join in the fun. I'm not too late, am I?"

"Not too late." Jiang Qiemo was stubborn, but not stupid. He shook his head and sighed, "It was my cousin who told you, right?"

"I heard you want to dominate the top three of the Tiger List. How can I miss out on such a showy thing? Count me in." Chen Guan said with a laugh.

"Just the person we need, let me introduce you. This is Gu Nanquan. We've had some conflicts with the Zhang Family brothers. The Zhang Family's three brothers bragged that we won't make it into the top three of the Tiger List, and I'm just thinking about how to take the top three spots." Jiang Qiemo explained the situation to Chen Guan.

Jiang Qiemo and Gu Nanquan met during a battle on the Human List. With Jiang Qiemo's abilities, he fought Gu Nanquan to a standstill, finally winning by just half a move after they were both exhausted.

Gu Nanquan admired Jiang Qiemo greatly. After leaving the fighting arena, the two had a pleasant conversation, and Gu Nanquan praised Jiang Qiemo a bit back then.

These words of praise were nothing unusual; in such a place, people praising each other was common.

But coincidentally, when Gu Nanquan was praising Jiang Qiemo, the Zhang Family's three brothers overheard.

The Zhang Family brothers were dismissive and began to mock sarcastically, leading to an awkward situation for both sides.

The Zhang Family's brothers then claimed that Jiang Qiemo and his team wouldn't make it into the top three of the Tiger List. Jiang Qiemo would never admit defeat and was determined to put the Zhang Family brothers down.

Chun Mantang and Mantangcai are the eldest and youngest of the Zhang Family's three brothers, holding the first and third positions, respectively. Jiang Qiemo has already reached second, and Gu Nanquan has climbed to fourth.

The second brother of the Zhang Family is currently in fifth place. The top positions on the Human List section of the Tiger List are dominated by them.

Chen Guan frowned upon hearing this. The Dragon Tiger Mountain Secret Realm is the Zhang Family's territory. It was bold of Jiang Qiemo to confront the Zhang Family on their own turf.

With so many experts around, why are only the Zhang Family's brothers and Jiang Qiemo and his team in the top spots on the Human List? Clearly, others are giving face to the Zhang Family, and no other experts are challenging them further.

Moreover, Chen Guan found this situation a bit coincidental. How did Jiang Qiemo just happen to meet someone like Gu Nanquan, and how were they overheard by the Zhang Family's brothers right when Gu Nanquan was praising him?

Chen Guan suddenly realized that Jiang Tianqing's invitation for him to come might not just be about helping Jiang Qiemo reach the top three.

"Qiemo, what exactly happened that made the Zhang Family's three brothers mock you?" Chen Guan directly asked Jiang Qiemo in front of Gu Nanquan.

"I just praised Brother Jiang a couple of times, and they couldn't stand it and mocked, saying Brother Jiang was all reputation and nothing more than awakening the Hundred Flowers Divine Mirror to become famous. They claimed his true talent and ability weren't much. I couldn't help but argue with them. This is also my fault; I shouldn't have engaged in a verbal fight with them, escalating the matter to this extent," Gu Nanquan said with a guilty expression.

"What exactly did you praise Qiemo for?" Chen Guan looked at Gu Nanquan and asked.

"I didn't say much, just genuinely complimented that Brother Jiang is indeed the number one of the younger generation, unmatched in his level in one-on-one combat..." Gu Nanquan replied matter-of-factly.

Chen Guan frowned. Jiang Qiemo became famous for making the Hundred Flowers Divine Mirror burst into full bloom, something no one had achieved before him, which earned him the title of the most talented person.

But to say Jiang Qiemo is truly invincible and number one in the world because of this would be underestimating others.

Jiang Qiemo is certainly very strong, but even among those Chen Guan knew, there were several who weren't inferior in talent. This was despite Chen Guan not having encountered that many people.

Even Jiang Qiemo himself wouldn't truly believe he was invincible at his level.

However, given Jiang Qiemo's character, if the Zhang Family brothers provoked him, he would not back down and would eagerly accept the challenge.

Chen Guan looked at Gu Nanquan, then suddenly smiled and said, "What you said isn't wrong. Qiemo is indeed rare to find a match at the same level."

"Yes, that's exactly what I think. The Zhang Family's three brothers are too narrow-minded and envious of Brother Jiang, persistently provoking us. We'll just have to defeat them," Gu Nanquan said.

Chen Guan nodded, "Brother Gu is right. Let's start aiming for the ranks, then. There are only a few days left in the ranking period this month. Brother Gu, you haven't entered the top three yet, so you need to push hard."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make it into the top three. But brother, you've just arrived, so breaking into the top three in just a few days might not be so easy, right?" Gu Nanquan paused before asking, "By the way, what's your name, brother?"

Earlier, when Jiang Qiemo was calling Chen Guan, Gu Nanquan wasn't nearby, so he didn't hear Jiang Qiemo call out to Chen Guan.

Jiang Qiemo hadn't mentioned Chen Guan's name, and there probably weren't many here who recognized Chen Guan.

"Daoist Friend." Chen Guan said calmly.

"What?" Gu Nanquan didn't quite understand.

"I'm called Daoist Friend on the Tiger List." Chen Guan said, looking at Gu Nanquan, "Brother Gu, you go ahead and start ranking. I just got here and need Qiemo to take me for some food first before I join in."

"I'll go with you guys; it's not urgent at the moment." Gu Nanquan said.

"Brother Gu, you should go ahead and start ranking. I can take him myself," Jiang Qiemo spoke up.

"Alright then." Gu Nanquan reluctantly nodded in agreement.

After leaving Gu Nanquan, Chen Guan said to Jiang Qiemo, "Didn't you notice there's something off about Gu Nanquan?"

"I noticed, and I know he intentionally provoked the Zhang Family brothers while praising me and even made a bet with them," Jiang Qiemo said indifferently.

"If you knew, why are you still competing with the Zhang Family brothers?" Chen Guan didn't understand what Jiang Qiemo was planning.

"Why not? The Zhang Family's three brothers are among the best of the younger generation. I've always wanted to fight them but haven't found a good opportunity. Now that I have a chance to face them at their full strength, why wouldn't I welcome it?" Jiang Qiemo said.

"I'm just worried that Gu Nanquan is not simply provoking you and the Zhang Family brothers but might have another agenda," Chen Guan said.

Jiang Qiemo smiled and said, "I've already figured it out. Gu Nanquan placed a heavy bet with someone that the Zhang Family's three brothers won't be in first place on the Human List this month."

"It seems Jiang Tianqing's worries were unnecessary," Chen Guan said with a smile.

"My cousin and I grew up together, so he still thinks of me as a child and takes care of me a lot," Jiang Qiemo said.

"What do you plan to do?" Chen Guan asked.

"Originally, I just wanted to fight the Zhang Family brothers, and I wasn't aiming for first place," Jiang Qiemo said with a smile.
