Chapter 108: A Wonderful Misunderstanding, Chen Changsheng’s Part-time Role as a Matchmaker
After gaining a rough understanding of the situation regarding the Heavenly Mandate, Chen Changsheng received two very useful pieces of information.
First, the position of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals would be even more challenging.
During the great upheaval of heaven and earth, Chen Changsheng only vaguely sensed the birth of powerful individuals.
However, he had never considered the emergence of a situation like the Heavenly Mandate.
From the current circumstances, it appeared that the Heavenly Mandate Holder was unique.
In other words, the major forces in the Central Courtyard were not allowed to allow the Heavenly Mandate Holder to appear outside of the sacred ground forces.
Once such a situation occurred, everyone would unite to attack the Heavenly Mandate Holder.
Dealing with just one Kunlun Sacred Ground was already quite taxing; dealing with the entire Central Courtyard and even the powers of the continent was something Chen Changsheng had no confidence in.
Second, despite living for thousands of years, he had never heard any information regarding the Heavenly Mandate.
Yet, these major forces in the Central Courtyard seemed to know it like a familiar subject. This indicated that the roots of these sacred grounds likely exceeded his imagination.
Moreover, they must be hiding even more about the Heavenly Mandate.
If he wanted to help A-Li seize the Heavenly Mandate, he would lose the advantage.
Just as Chen Changsheng was pondering a solution, his gaze suddenly drifted to the Purple House Sacred Lord.
The Purple House Sacred Lord was a female cultivator who had yet to find a partner and always wore a veil.
Faced with this extraordinarily graceful beauty, Chen Changsheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.
It was true that the Seventy-two Smoke Signals had a deadly feud with Kunlun Sacred Ground, but the enmity with other sacred grounds was not as deep.
If A-Li could gain the support of another sacred ground, the situation of being besieged would resolve itself.
Even if other sacred grounds wanted to compete with A-Li for the Heavenly Mandate, it wouldn’t escalate to a life-or-d*ath struggle; at that time, he would only need to pay attention to Kunlun Sacred Ground.
If asked what the most reliable alliance method between the two forces would be, it must be through marriage!
A man marrying and a woman marrying; this was simply a heavenly opportunity!
Having come to this conclusion, Chen Changsheng revealed a “different” smile towards the Purple House Sacred Lord.
Just with that smile, the atmosphere of the entire Heavenly Heroes Conference instantly changed.
“Crack!”
The cup in Ziling’s hand shattered, and Fu Yao looked at Chen Changsheng with a slightly shocked expression.
At the same time, those powerful figures sitting in the main seat turned their gazes elsewhere.
There was no choice; what had just happened was too explosive.
Having seen the Purple House Sacred Lord get angry before, they understood the potential consequences.
At this moment, Gongsun Huaiyu, who was beside Chen Changsheng, also sensed something was off and hurriedly brought the somewhat lost Chen Changsheng back to reality.
“Young Master!”
Hearing Gongsun Huaiyu’s voice, Chen Changsheng finally regained his senses.
“Ahem!”
Realizing he had lost composure, Chen Changsheng hastily cleared his throat several times to ease the awkwardness, then feigned a serious demeanor.
But it was already too late to make up for it; everyone had seen what had just happened.
No one knew how Chen Changsheng was thinking, but his actions were clear to everyone.
The Purple House Sacred Lord had answered some of Chen Changsheng’s questions, but afterward, he kept staring at her.
It would have been fine if he were just staring, but the issue was that he was also smiling.
That smile contained an indescribable emotion, resembling the smile of a man choosing a desirable woman.
Seeing the atmosphere was shifting off-course, Jiang Bufan hurriedly spoke up.
“The Heavenly Heroes Conference has already begun, let us proceed to the first item of the conference.”
“The first item of the conference is to discuss the Dao; those who claim the top position will receive this item.”
As he spoke, Jiang Bufan flipped his right hand and produced a Golden Page.
Upon seeing the Golden Page, Chen Changsheng’s eyes narrowed.
Ever since acquiring the Eight-Nine Mysteries, Chen Changsheng had been paying close attention to news regarding the remaining techniques.
However, after searching for a long time, he had not even found a trace of the Eight-Nine Mysteries, and now it surprisingly appeared at the Heavenly Heroes Conference.
This Heavenly Heroes Conference was indeed a rare opportunity for him!
“This item is indestructible and extremely sharp, forged from the Xuanhuang Sacred Gold.”
“Moreover, it contains a profoundly mysterious technique. As for whether it can be deciphered, that depends on everyone’s fortune.”
Seeing the reward Jiang Bufan presented, many heavenly prodigies couldn’t help but brighten their eyes.
Xuanhuang Sacred Gold was a divine metal from ancient legends, said to forge weapons that could not be broken by anyone.
Additionally, the most precious aspect of this item wasn’t just the supreme sacred metal but the technique recorded on the Xuanhuang Sacred Gold.
Since the material bearing the technique was so precious, the technique itself must be even more valuable.
Understanding the intricacies of this, many heavenly prodigies began to roll up their sleeves, preparing to compete for this treasure.
“Whoosh!”
A normally reticent Purple House Saintess stood up.
“Chen Changsheng, I challenge you!”
As she spoke, the chest of the Purple House Saintess began to heave violently.
There was no other option; currently, Ziling only wanted to see Chen Changsheng shredded into pieces and had no other thoughts.
Since the Purple House Sacred Ground planned to recruit Chen Changsheng, Ziling had envisioned countless possible scenarios.
After all, recruiting a top-tier prodigy like Chen Changsheng was not a simple task.
Resources, magic treasures, partners, status—she had considered all possible conditions.
She had even imagined that Chen Changsheng might propose to become partners with her.
Although she wouldn’t agree, she could accept such a situation happening.
But no matter how she calculated, she never anticipated that Chen Changsheng would take an interest in her master.
“I regard you as a companion, yet you wish to be my ‘master’s wife’; this insult cannot be tolerated!”
“Uh… Miss Ziling, please don’t be so agitated.”
“About what just happened…”
“Shut up!”
Chen Changsheng’s words were cut off by Ziling’s furious interruption.
“This is the Heavenly Heroes Conference; here, only the Dao is contended, and you should not speak of other matters.”
“If you are afraid, then just admit defeat.”
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at the Golden Page floating in the air and then at the enraged Ziling.
In normal circumstances, Chen Changsheng would not involve himself in such trouble.
Let it be a misunderstanding!
If he couldn’t provoke it, couldn’t he dodge it?
But things were different now; he truly wanted to get his hands on the remnants of the Eight-Nine Mysteries.
“Admitting defeat is impossible because I want this item.”
“How about this: you first defeat this girl beside me, and then come to challenge me.”
As soon as his voice fell, Gongsun Huaiyu took a step forward with pride.
“Dealing with someone like you, it need not be my young master’s concern; I can handle it myself.”
“Let’s see how much you have left; if you lose, how about serving my young master as a maid?”
“No problem,” Ziling gritted her teeth and said, “If you lose, you must leave a trace of your bloodline for the Purple House Sacred Ground.”
Chen Changsheng: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Are the young people playing this big now?
