"Lin Changqing is too outstanding. We can't let such a genius fall into the hands of the Chu Kingdom! We must also try our best to compete for him. It can be said that whichever of the six kingdoms possesses Lin Changqing in the future will likely be the one to claim the title of the strongest among the seven kingdoms!" Beside the arena, several cultivators in luxurious clothes were discussing. This group consisted of both men and women, all descendants of the royal families of the six kingdoms.
From the duel between Lin Changqing and Qin Wushang just now, they judged a fact: Lin Changqing is destined to betray the Wu Kingdom. After all, you have caused Qin Wushuang to lose so much face today. No matter what, you won't be able to stay in the Wu Kingdom. But for these nobles of the six kingdoms, this is an unparalleled good news.
After all, anyone can see Lin Changqing's enormous potential today.
In the past, the Wu Kingdom suppressed the six kingdoms to the point where they couldn't breathe. But now, these nobles of the six kingdoms feel that with Lin Changqing's joining, they will definitely be able to contend with the Wu Kingdom in the future!
"But it's hard to say now. The Chu Kingdom has already taken the first step. You saw the Chu princess and Lin Changqing go to the First City together before. Plus, I heard some rumors before that the two joined hands to obtain the Bronze Ancient Tree in the Second City. Maybe the Chu princess has already recruited Lin Changqing to the Chu Kingdom."
This was said by a young man in fiery red clothes, the heir of the Marquis Dawei of the Qi Kingdom.
"It's a pity. Could it be that such a genius is really going to fall into the hands of the Chu Kingdom? But there's no way around it. The Chu princess is the number one goddess of the seven kingdoms. It's normal for Lin Changqing to be unable to resist such beauty."
A middle-aged man in a black Taoist robe said. He was a cousin of the Marquis Sifang of the Zhao Kingdom. Frankly, he really wanted to recruit Lin Changqing to the Zhao Kingdom, but now it's clear that the Chu princess has already taken the lead with her beauty. The Zhao Kingdom's hope of obtaining Lin Changqing is slim.
"What are you afraid of? The Chu princess is beautiful, but she's just one person. We six kingdoms have several princesses and county princesses who haven't married yet, especially our Yan Kingdom. Our Yan Kingdom has seven princesses! When I return, I will ask His Majesty to marry all seven princesses to Lin Changqing. One beauty can't match the Chu princess, but I don't believe seven can't!"
"We can even add one more from our Yan Kingdom. Marry Hong Jiaren to him as well. I don't believe eight are not better than one Chu princess."
This was said by Yan Qi, a descendant of a noble family from the Yan Kingdom. As he spoke, Yan Qi looked at a beautiful woman in red clothes beside him.
This red-clothed woman was Hong Jiaren, who appeared in the First City before. She was also a cultivator from the Yan Kingdom, and she was the only daughter of a marquis within the royal family, making her a county princess.
Hearing that she was going to be married off, Hong Jiaren immediately glared at Yan Qi and said, "Yan Qi, you really can't say anything nice! Why don't you marry your own sister instead of me? I don't want to serve one person with eight others!"
The descendant of the noble family, Yan Qi, didn't care when he heard this, and said carelessly, "I would like to marry my sister off, but I'm afraid people won't like her. In our Yan Kingdom, besides the seven princesses, you are the most beautiful. Hong Jiaren, you should make a sacrifice for our Yan Kingdom and marry Lin Changqing. Besides, don't you usually say that you like to marry heroes the most? Who among the young people of the seven kingdoms can compare to Lin Changqing now? He even drove Qin Wushang away."
"Isn't Lin Changqing the hero you've been looking for?"
"Bah, you really can't say anything nice," Hong Jiaren retorted. Of course, although Hong Jiaren looked very angry on the surface that Yan Qi wanted to marry her off at the moment,
In fact, she was not opposed to marrying Lin Changqing in her heart.
After all, Lin Changqing's performance today was indeed too amazing. First, he defeated the Fourth Prince, then Qin Wushang. This was simply the number one person in the seven kingdoms in the future. Whoever marries Lin Changqing may be the wife of the number one person in the seven kingdoms in the future, deterring the seven kingdoms.
Hong Jiaren was also very excited, but she must not show it on the surface.
In addition, what Yan Qi said just now was indeed unpleasant. To marry herself and the seven princesses to Lin Changqing, Hong Jiaren certainly didn't want to do such a thing.
She also has self-esteem.
[While these descendants of the six kingdoms' royal families are discussing how to win you over, the Chu princess also heard about it. Some Chu cultivators expressed concern that Lin Changqing would be snatched away by these people, especially after hearing that Yan Qi, the heir of the Yan Kingdom's royal family, said that he would marry all seven princesses of the Yan Kingdom to Lin Changqing. These people complained that the Yan people were indeed making a big investment.]
"These people only think about adding flowers to the brocade, but they don't know how to provide charcoal in the snow. They want to win over Lin Changqing, but I think they are thinking too much," the Chu princess said calmly. She was very confident. Although she had only spent a short time with Lin Changqing, she could see that he was a person who valued friendship. Her previous actions could definitely be called providing charcoal in the snow. First, she helped Lin Changqing obtain the Bronze Tree, and then she lent him the Azure Sky Lantern.
The Chu princess was very confident that Lin Changqing would never defect to other countries. These people only thought about recruiting him after Lin Changqing's great victory over Qin Wushang today, but she had invested in him before, when Lin Changqing was at a disadvantage.
How could these people compare to her?
Moreover, after hearing that the Yan Kingdom was going to marry off seven princesses, the Chu princess smiled faintly in her heart, not caring at all. From her few days of contact with Lin Changqing, these people in the Yan Kingdom were making a big mistake if they wanted to use a beauty trap to lure Lin Changqing.
She was the number one goddess of the seven kingdoms, so beautiful, but through these few days of getting along with Lin Changqing, the Chu princess could see that Lin Changqing was a person who would not be tempted by beauty.
So, hearing that Yan Qi was going to use the beauty trap of seven princesses, the Chu princess just smiled faintly, because she knew that the beauty trap had no effect on Lin Changqing.
"These people still want to recruit Lin Changqing? Then I will let them give up on this idea today!"
Thinking this, the Chu princess walked onto the arena and handed a white jade pendant to Lin Changqing.
"Your Highness, this is..."
"Young Master Lin, congratulations on your great victory today. This jade pendant is the key to a luxurious residence on the map of my Chu Kingdom. This is what our Chu Kingdom has prepared for Young Master Lin. I hope that a few days later, after the Starry Sky Ancient Road ends, we can return to the imperial capital and celebrate with a grand banquet."
"I see."
[You and the Chu princess asked and answered, and you quickly understood the Chu princess's purpose, but you did not refuse. You accepted the jade pendant, and seeing you accept it, the Chu princess also smiled. Some descendants of the six kingdoms' royal families around shook their heads one by one. Obviously, your actions have shown that you have been recruited by the Chu Kingdom.]
[A moment later, you walked to the stone beast on the arena and picked up two things from the stone beast: a token engraved with stone monkey runes and a scroll.]
[This time, it can be said to be a great harvest. On the one hand, you won ten years for the Chu Kingdom. On the other hand, you also obtained a token to enter the Stone Monkey Secret Realm. As long as you finally obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art Tome when the secret realm opens, then this trip to the Starry Sky Ancient Road can be said to be a great victory!]
[Five minutes later, you left here with these two things. The Chu princess said that she had something important to talk to you about. You nodded, and then you went to a restaurant.]
[At this moment, on the other side, in a residence in the First City...]
