Chapter 116: Recruiting Chen Changsheng, Purple House Sacred Lord: You Are Not My Type
In the room.
The three of them sat quietly at the table, none of them willing to be the first to speak.
After a long while, Purple House Sacred Lord was the first to break the silence. “Young Master Chen’s talents are extraordinary and he is a rare genius in a thousand years.”
“I wonder which school Young Master Chen has learned from?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled up slightly as he smiled. “I am unaffiliated with any sects or schools. All my skills are self-taught.”
“Indeed, but I see that the three friends from the Eastern Wastes have a deep relationship with you.”
“Could it be that they are your disciples?”
“Hahaha!”
“Lord Sacred, you jest. Everyone has a few friends in life.”
“I merely happened to meet them by chance, just like how Miss Ziling also knows Elder Jiang from Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“It’s impossible that she is also Elder Jiang’s disciple, right?”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Purple House Sacred Lord’s eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.
Chen Changsheng’s strength, though not necessarily invincible among his peers, is certainly on par with any of the sacred sons from the sacred grounds. Sacred sons are the potential successors of the sacred grounds, and even if a sacred ground wanted to cultivate such a prodigy, it would require a massive investment of resources.
Now that such a “wild” sacred son is sitting right in front of her, if she could recruit him, it would be a huge win.
Thinking this, Purple House Sacred Lord spoke again. “Young Master’s words make sense. I wonder what you think of this poor disciple of mine.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at Ziling beside him.
“Miss Ziling may be veiled, but even the half of her face revealed is enough to astonish anyone. Her demeanor is akin to that of a celestial being, her talent and appearance are top-notch.”
“The Three Beauties of the Central Courtyard live up to their fame.”
“Since you hold my poor disciple in such high regard, then I will play the matchmaker and help you form this bond.”
“What do you think, Young Master?”
Upon these words, Ziling’s face turned red, but there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
At the Heavenly Heroes Conference, she lost to Gongsun Huaiyu, which means that Purple House Sacred Ground has lost its chance to compete with the other heroes.
If she doesn’t find another way out, once her master steps down, Purple House Sacred Ground will continue to be suppressed by other sacred grounds.
“Hahaha!”
“Lord Sacred, you jest. My relationship with Miss Ziling is purely platonic, nothing more.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng refuse to be recruited, Purple House Sacred Lord looked at him and said.
“Young Master, in today’s chaotic world, it is difficult for a lone person to achieve much.”
“Other sacred grounds can offer you certain prices, and my Purple House Sacred Ground can afford them too.”
“In addition, compared to others, we Purple House Sacred Ground are more sincere.”
“Jiang Ping, Fu Yao, Xuanxin, Batu Lu, these people are all prodigies among prodigies.”
“Even if you join forces with them, it’s uncertain whether you will receive full support. Aside from these top-tier forces, I really can’t think of any other options for you.”
“You wouldn’t want to be associated with those bandits like the seventy-two smoke signals, would you?”
Looking at Purple House Sacred Lord’s confident gaze, Chen Changsheng laughed.
“Now that we’re talking about this, if I continue to beat around the bush, it would seem disrespectful.”
“Looking across the Central Courtyard, the price offered by Purple House Sacred Ground is indeed the most tempting.”
“But I’m not interested in that young lady. What I want is you.”
“Crack!”
Ziling’s cup shattered instantly in her hand, and a sharp sword was pointed directly at Chen Changsheng’s throat.
“How dare you!”
“Chen Changsheng, do you really think Purple House Sacred Ground needs you?”
Facing Ziling’s anger, Chen Changsheng didn’t care at all, he simply continued drinking his tea.

“Leave!”
Purple House Sacred Lord said calmly.
Seeing this, Ziling reluctantly said, “Master, he…”
“Leave!”
Purple House Sacred Lord’s tone became colder. Ziling finally gritted her teeth and sheathed her sword, turning and leaving the room.
After Ziling left, Purple House Sacred Lord poured Chen Changsheng another cup of clear tea and spoke.
“Your potential is indeed great, but I don’t like your type.”
“I like men who are domineering. Let’s set another condition.”
With that, Purple House Sacred Lord provocatively glanced at Chen Changsheng, her eyes filled with a kind of inexplicable mockery.
“Hahaha!”
“Wonderful! Simply wonderful!”
“Calm as water, perceptive as fire, my judgment hasn’t been wrong.”
“Today, I came here for the same purpose as you, to be a matchmaker.”
“Coincidentally, I have a domineering man by my side. If you win his heart, the disadvantage of Purple House Sacred Ground will be instantly reversed.”
Hearing this, Purple House Sacred Lord became interested.
“Oh?”
“Then tell me, what kind of domineering is this man of yours?”
“Starting from scratch, dominating the Central Courtyard without an equal, causing chaos among the various sacred grounds, is this kind of man domineering enough?”
Upon hearing this, Purple House Sacred Lord’s eyes narrowed.
“Is this idea yours or his?”
“If it’s my idea, that guy is clueless when it comes to matters of love. If he wakes up, he’ll be a lifelong bachelor.”
“You and Jiang Bufan are contemporaries, yet the younger generation seven decades ago was suppressed by Jiang Bufan.”
“Seventy years ago, and still now, it’s the same.”
“Now that Ziling has already lost, it means Purple House Sacred Ground will still be suppressed by Kunlun Sacred Ground.”
“Even if you find a prodigy who can suppress Jiang Bufan, have you considered how much time it takes for a prodigy to grow?”
“Now there is one right in front of you, don’t you feel tempted?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s highly enticing words, Purple House Sacred Lord became serious.
“Who are you?”
“From your tone, it seems like you are in charge of the seventy-two smoke signals.”
“It doesn’t matter who I am, you only need to know that I can make this decision.”
“But I’m not the kind of rigid person. If he can’t conquer you and you can’t conquer him, let’s forget about this matter.”
Upon hearing this, Purple House Sacred Lord thought for a moment and said.
“Not enough!”
“To get Purple House Sacred Ground to fully support Wu Li, just relying on him alone is not enough.”
“The seventy-two smoke signals and Kunlun Sacred Ground are mortal enemies, and they have grudges with other forces as well. If Purple House Sacred Ground supports Wu Li,
then Purple House Sacred Ground will become the public enemy of the Central Courtyard, the risk is too high.”
“What if I were to join?”
“If you and Wu Li succeed, I, Chen Changsheng, can stay in Purple House Sacred Ground for three decades.”
“It’s a deal!”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s terms, Purple House Sacred Lord readily agreed without hesitation.
With Chen Changsheng and Wu Li, two top-tier prodigies joining, combined with the foundation and resources of Purple House Sacred Ground,
even if the Heavenly Mandate person appears now, I have confidence to contend with them.
