Chapter 83: Am I Being Recruited?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Hundred Demon Battlefield would only officially open in a few days.
However, the selection of participants to enter the Hundred Demon Battlefield would officially begin tomorrow!
Although the leaders would not go on stage to participate in the competition, the other disciples below would definitely engage in battles.
The meaning behind Situ Feng’s words was obvious. If the Everlasting Sect disciples fought against the Great Mystery Sect disciples tomorrow, they would definitely give their all and not hold back!
At that time, although the disciples on both sides would not lose their lives, it was inevitable that a few of them would be seriously injured!
If someone accidentally used too much force and crippled the cultivation of the opponent, it would be considered reasonable!
After throwing down these harsh words, and without waiting for Su Chen’s response, Situ Feng cupped his hands at the two figures at the top and left.
He didn’t want to be the stepping stone for the others present!
Seeing Situ Feng leave, the other prodigies also lost interest and stood up to bid farewell.
“Daoist Su, I’m looking forward to your performance in the Hundred Demon Battlefield…”
While Su Chen was drinking by himself, a robust man in a light golden robe suddenly appeared in front of him.
Every inch of his flesh was shining with a dark golden light, like a walking sun.
Anyone would pale in comparison to him.
“The Eldest Prince seems to have a lot of confidence in me…”
Hearing this, Su Chen looked up at the man and said indifferently.
“I have a keen eye for people in my life. I believe you won’t disappoint me! I’ll give this jade pendant to you today. If you need anything, feel free to use this jade pendant to find me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a jade pendant appeared in his palm and he placed it on the table.
Then, without caring about Su Chen’s expression, he turned around and left.
“This…”
Su Chen looked at the scene before him and couldn’t help but shake his head. He looked at the Eldest Prince’s departing back and softly said, “Does this mean I have been recruited?”
To be honest, if Gu Xuanyun and Situ Feng hadn’t deliberately provoked him today, he wouldn’t have been so high-profile.
Now, he didn’t eat much at this banquet, but he had caused a lot of trouble…
However, these troubles were actually nothing to him.
If Situ Feng insisted on targeting the Great Mystery Sect, he wouldn’t mind dealing with him on the Hundred Demon Battlefield.
After all, he was poisoned when he just transmigrated and almost died because of the Everlasting Sect.
Plus, the Everlasting Sect and Great Mystery Sect had grievances.
If Su Chen could deal with Situ Feng in the Hundred Demon Battlefield, the sect might even reward him.
However, the only thing that gave him a headache now was the jade pendant that the Eldest Prince had just left behind.
He had promised Elder Fan that he would not take sides at will.
Now, what was this about accepting the jade pendant?
Little did he know that, at this moment, the discarded jade pendant, seen by the other exceptional talents who hadn’t left yet, filled them with immense envy.
That was the Eldest Prince’s jade pendant!
With this item, one could be able to do whatever he wanted in the entire Imperial Supreme City.
Moreover…
The Eldest Prince had given Su Chen a jade pendant but made no such gesture toward Situ Feng.
Didn’t this mean that the Eldest Prince didn’t favor Situ Feng at all?
Thinking of this, the prodigies who had yet to leave froze in their hearts.
For a moment, they regarded Su Chen as their biggest threat in the Hundred Demon Battlefield.
With this little episode of the Eldest Prince giving the jade pendant, the other prodigies all left the hall with their hearts full of worries.
Very quickly.
There were only two people left in the hall.
The Ninth Princess of Dachu sat at the top. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, each strand crystal clear.
Her eyes were deep and vast, like twinkling stars, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.
“Everyone has already left, so why haven’t you left yet?”
Looking down at Su Chen who was pouring himself a glass of wine, the Ninth Princess finally couldn’t hold back and asked.
To be honest, Su Chen’s potential might not be apparent among prodigies of the same level.
But she and the Eldest Prince could still see something in him.
Su Chen’s aura was much stronger than the others!
Originally, she had also wanted to recruit Su Chen.
It was a pity that her strength was slightly inferior and she had been suppressed by the Eldest Prince, so she could only watch helplessly as the Eldest Prince threw the jade pendant to Su Chen.
With this example of the jade pendant, the Ninth Princess had basically given up on recruiting Su Chen.
After all, in the entire Dachu Empire, who didn’t know that the Eldest Prince was more powerful than her, the Ninth Princess, in every aspect?
With the backing of the Eldest Prince, no one would be willing to join her.
“I’m a little hungry. I want to eat something.”
“Your Highness, are you going to send me off?”
Su Chen casually picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he took a sip of the spiritual wine and said in a muffled voice.
“No, it’s not like that.”
The Ninth Princess watched Su Chen eating and laughed in her heart. She shook her head and said, “I’m only considering your well-being. If you stay here for too long, I’m afraid that my elder brother will misunderstand… You should understand that if my elder brother misunderstands you, it won’t bring you any benefits.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness.”
Su Chen put down the wine cup in his hand and cupped his hands at the Ninth Princess with a serious expression.
On the surface, he was thanking her.
However, he had no intention of leaving. He picked up a bunch of grapes from the table in front of him and continued eating as if he planned to stay there forever.
This kind of behavior was very confusing in the eyes of the Ninth Princess.
Why did he do so…
Could it be that he wanted to join me?
A thought popped up in the Ninth Princess’s mind.
To be honest, she and the Eldest Prince had been fighting and scheming for so many years.
But she felt annoyed to be suppressed by the Eldest Prince every time.
However, no matter how strong the anger in her heart was, she could not do anything to her elder brother.
This was because the force behind her was a demonic sect.
Before she completely controlled the Dachu Empire, she absolutely could not expose it.
If she was exposed, even her father would not tolerate her.
However, just when she had no one to rely on, Su Chen of the Great Mystery Sect revealed some intentions of joining her.
This made her cold heart feel warm.
No matter what, there were still a few people in this world who could recognize her potential to become the Dachu Empress in the future!
“Fellow Daoist Su, there’s only the two of us here. If you have something to say, just say it!”
The Ninth Princess was extremely beautiful.
At this moment, her dark beautiful eyes were staring at Su Chen, trying to get the information she wanted from him.
Everything that happened just now was merely her imagination.
In the end, it was not true. She needed Su Chen to speak up to make it real..
