Chapter 80: Rebuke to the Third Princess of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the Three Beauties of the Central Courtyard
“Didn’t I tell you not to beat around the bush?”
“Why don’t you listen?”
“You have no right to know about my background. If you’re interested, you can ask your master.”
“If she is willing to tell you, then it proves that you have the right to know.”
“If she doesn’t want to tell you, then you can only guess. If you guess correctly, you are smart; if you don’t, you are foolish.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ye Henchuan’s lips moved a few times but ultimately decided not to continue asking.
After dealing with Ye Henchuan, Chen Changsheng turned to Su Tian, who was eager to speak.
“He wants to know about my background, what do you want to ask?”
“I want to challenge you!”
Su Tian calmly stated his intention.
Facing this request, Chen Changsheng nodded: “Young people who dare to take risks are commendable.”
“But you currently do not have the qualifications to challenge me.”
“How can one gain such qualifications?”
“It’s simple. Do you know about the three beauties of the Central Courtyard?”
“Yes!”
“Saintess Ziling of the Purple Manor, Princess Huaiyu of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals, and Yao Yingying of the No Regrets Pavilion.”
“These three are recognized as the three most beautiful young women in the younger generation of the Central Courtyard.”
“Not only are they breathtakingly beautiful, but their abilities also surpass all contemporaries. It’s no exaggeration to say they are both talented and beautiful.”
“Very correct,” Chen Changsheng nodded in approval. “It seems you have put some thought into the distribution of power in the Central Courtyard.”
“As long as you defeat these three, you will then have the qualifications to challenge me.”
Upon hearing this, Su Tian’s eyelids twitched.
“Do you really have such strength?”
“I’m not sure how strong I am myself.”
“I’ve only met one of the three beauties. As for the other two, I’ve only heard about them.”
“But I know one thing: if I wish, I can spank the bottom of Saintess Ziling of the Purple Manor.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s casual tone, Su Tian’s gaze remained resolute.
“No problem, I will defeat them and then come back to challenge you.”
After dealing with the two less troublesome individuals, Chen Changsheng turned his attention to Zuo Jing, who was very dissatisfied.
Seeing it was her turn, Zuo Jing did not wait for Chen Changsheng to speak and directly questioned him.
“Why did you deliberately pretend to be weak and watch us make a fool of ourselves? Even if you…”
“What right do you have to speak in front of me!”
Before Zuo Jing could finish, she was silenced by Chen Changsheng’s contemptuous look.
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s eyes, Zuo Jing’s anger instantly subsided.
For some reason, Zuo Jing couldn’t face Chen Changsheng’s eyes directly.
“You are the third princess of the Xuanwu Kingdom. It’s not inappropriate to call you by your title, but you have no right to question me.”
“The identity of the princess of the Xuanwu Kingdom is only respected within the Xuanwu Kingdom, not outside.”
“Outside the Xuanwu Kingdom, in the Heavenly Heroes Conference, your capital to speak comes from your strength.”
“I know what you want to say; you just think I treated you like a clown.”
“Although I’m not interested in doing such things, you can think of me that way because in my eyes, you are no different from a clown.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Zuo Jing tightly bit her lip.
From childhood to now, she had never been so humiliated.
Looking at Zuo Jing’s appearance, Chen Changsheng sneered, “What, are you going to cry?”
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Warning: If you can’t find the book by searching its name, try searching for the author’s name. Perhaps the book has just changed its title!

“This is the level of the prodigies of the Xuanwu Kingdom!”
“You haven’t weaned off yet, have you?”
“I want to challenge you!”
The intense humiliation made Zuo Jing roar in anger.
Facing Zuo Jing’s rage, Chen Changsheng’s disdain became even more apparent on his face.
“You make me feel you are even more childish. Considering how close you are to crying, I’ll satisfy your wish.”
“Su Tian, let her see how cruel the Crimson Realm outside is.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng instruct him to act, Su Tian hesitated for a moment.
“What, afraid to act?”
“Left Emperor ennobled you as a peer, recognizing your talent and potential.”
“Choosing the Xuanwu Kingdom can be considered a wise choice. Left Emperor did not intend for you to be a dog for the Xuanwu Kingdom.”
“Do you understand the meaning of the Heavenly Heroes Conference?”
“The Heavenly Heroes Conference is about the struggle for the great path. All living beings within sight are enemies, with no friends.”
“You not only have to compete with contemporary prodigies, but also with those from the previous era.”
“For example, the emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom, Left Xinghe.”
“After all, he is also a cultivator. As long as neither of you falls on this path, you will eventually meet.”
“What will you do then?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Su Tian began to ponder carefully.
However, Zuo Jing became anxious beside him. Su Tian was a genius of the Xuanwu Kingdom. If Chen Changsheng were to persuade him, it would be disastrous.
“You’re lying! My Emperor greatly respects Brother Su. How could he harm Brother Su?”
“This is the truth!”
“You cannot represent the Xuanwu Kingdom, nor can your Emperor.”
“The Xuanwu Kingdom can do without you and your Emperor, but it cannot do without the Guiding Person.”
“Without the Guiding Person, the Xuanwu Kingdom has only one path: destruction.”
“Both you and Su Tian want to be this Guiding Person and wish the other to be it too. The outcome will depend on fate.”
Having said this, Chen Changsheng continued to provoke.
Su Tian silently walked in front of Zuo Jing.
“Third Princess, please proceed!”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zuo Jing angrily retorted, “What nonsense about the Guiding Person? I will prove that I am stronger than all of you.”
With that, Zuo Jing turned and left the room, ready to confront Su Tian outside.
The drama was set to begin, and Chen Changsheng immediately became interested.
He took out a small stool and quickly ran to the door to sit down, placing some fruits and snacks nearby.
Their movements naturally alerted the other geniuses from the Eastern Wastes.
“Brother Su, take a seat and talk slowly.”
“Exactly, Third Princess likes to throw tantrums. Don’t take it to heart.”
Some geniuses from the Xuanwu Kingdom began to persuade the two, but this displeased Chen Changsheng, who wanted to watch the show.
“Su Tian, why are you standing there? Are you not embarrassed enough?”
“The other Heavenly Hero groups only bring one or two members, while the Eastern Wastes brought over ten useless members.”
“With so many useless members, if you don’t clean up, others might think you came here just to eat!”
Seeing Chen Changsheng stirring the pot, the geniuses from the Eastern Wastes were enraged, and several of them immediately wanted to teach Chen Changsheng a lesson.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Before they could approach Chen Changsheng, a figure intercepted them, sending them all flying away.
On closer inspection, it was Su Tian.
Looking at the familiar figures sent flying, Su Tian calmly said, “With me alone, the Xuanwu Kingdom is sufficient. You should return.”
