Elegant walked alongside Wei Chen, a striking couple that seemed perfectly matched. Although Elegant was slightly older, time had left no marks on her face; instead, it had made her appear even more mature and charming.
Wei Chen, at just seventeen, bore no trace of youthfulness on his face. Instead, he exuded a sense of maturity and composure. A faint smile graced his lips, his mouth curving upward in a confident expression. He stood taller than Elegant, making them look like a pair of celestial beings.
The only appealing aspect of Dingsheng Trading Company was undoubtedly Elegant and Wei Chen.
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "I have my own clever plans. You'll see when the time comes; I promise you'll be surprised."
"Then I shall wait and see. I've already been surprised by you many times; I hope this time you can astonish me again," Elegant replied with a smile, her captivating gaze fixed on Wei Chen. She added softly, "If you can gain the protection of Peach Blossom Island, I'll give you a reward."
"What kind of reward? It won't be that ridiculous discount card again, will it? That thing is completely useless to me."
"Of course not." Elegant's alluring eyes locked onto Wei Chen's. "If you don't like my sister, then do you like me?"
Seeing the seductive look in Elegant's eyes, Wei Chen swallowed hard. Recently, after his encounters with Snow Cicada, he had come to appreciate the benefits of women. It was impossible not to be drawn to someone as mature and enchanting as Elegant.
However, thinking of Qingling made him sigh inwardly. "It's not that I don't like your sister; it's just that your direct approach to marriage is quite off-putting. Qingling has the same world-ending aura of the Demon Lotus Petal as Mu Qingyan does. The attraction I feel for her is similar to what I feel for Mu Qingyan. The difference is that I've shared many experiences with Mu Qingyan, while I've barely exchanged a few words with your sister before you started pushing for marriage—what a waste of that soul-deep attraction!"
Noticing the glimmer in Wei Chen's eyes, Elegant understood his thoughts. She subtly traced a finger around the back of his hand and teased with a light laugh, "I believe you can win, but whether Peach Blossom Island will help you is still uncertain. If they truly assist you, I will come find you clean and ready..."
This reward was certainly enticing!
Wei Chen's eyes lit up instantly as he chuckled mischievously, "Sister Qingya, this can't be a joke!"
"With my status, there's absolutely no reason for me to go back on my word. If Cold Wilderness Elder can promise to support you, then I am yours." Elegant paused, her gaze fixed intently on Wei Chen as she extended a finger and whispered, "I am yours for one night. Whether you want to talk or do something else, perhaps I won't refuse."
Looking into Elegant's captivating eyes made Wei Chen's heart race; he could hardly contain himself. He squinted and asked, "Are there no other conditions? We need to clarify everything beforehand so that you don’t spring any surprises later—that would be quite disappointing."
"There are no additional conditions; as long as your abilities can satisfy me..."
Elegant's sultry gaze stirred something deep within Wei Chen; he could hardly wait to take her right then and there.
"Ah, Wei Chen, do I not know your nature? You go all out to protect your woman. For all these years, I've remained untouched; you truly took something from me. I ask for nothing, yet you would help me with anything."
Elegant thought to herself, a hint of helplessness quietly surfacing in the depths of her eyes. The Ling Sheng Dynasty was her testing ground. If she handled things well, even managed to gain control over the Ling Sheng Dynasty, she could secure a voice in her family and perhaps achieve great merit to ascend as the first female head of the family.
"The situation with the family is getting worse. Those cousins will certainly not let me easily take the position of head. With Wei Chen's potential, he might grow strong enough to assist me... I hope that my upcoming investments, sacrificing my own body for them, will earn his full support."
As Elegant pondered, the group had already reached the edge of the Arena and sat down. After all, this was Dingsheng Trading Company; Ancient Spirit Academy could not afford to show disrespect. Their seats were quite good.
"Over there is Pan Feng; he's very powerful. The people around him are all elders of the sect, and that dark-faced man sitting at the edge is your enemy, Elder Wu."
Following Elegant's instruction, Wei Chen took note of everything.
"That group over there is the royal family. Sitting in the center is Ling Jueyun's brother, Ling Jue Lei. The one beside him is the Fourteenth Prince, whom you've met before; the other is Crown Prince Ling Ao. The rest are royal offspring but lack significant authority; they’re just living off their family's reputation."
Wei Chen nodded, his gaze unabashedly fixed on Crown Prince Ling Ao.
Once one reached a certain level of Soul Power Realm, being stared at without reservation would elicit a response. Crown Prince Ling Ao sensed a killing intent directed at him and squinted towards Wei Chen's direction, ultimately locking his gaze onto him.
To Wei Chen's surprise, Crown Prince Ling Ao did not reveal any murderous intent towards him; in fact, upon recognizing his identity, he even smiled at him.
"See that? Crown Prince Ling Ao hasn't sent anyone to kill you because he likely doesn't want to kill you at all. You are a key figure stirring up the situation; he might actually be hoping you grow stronger and cause more trouble," Elegant remarked calmly.
Wei Chen furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "Ginger Tooth was right; he truly is an exceptionally handsome man—perhaps he really doesn't like women? But in three days, he will marry Mu Qingyan; no matter what happens, this person cannot be left alive!"
Crown Prince Ling Ao expressed goodwill towards Wei Chen, but due to Mu Qingyan's involvement, Wei Chen could not reciprocate that goodwill. Even if it meant allowing Mu Qingyan to marry Crown Prince Ling Ao in name only, Wei Chen was unwilling.
This was about a man's dignity and Mu Qingyan's reputation—absolutely unacceptable to tarnish!
While Wei Chen coldly contemplated this, Crown Prince Ling Ao also mused: "Wei Chen, heh heh, I wonder if you'll come to steal my bride? When that time comes, I'll let you take Mu Qingyan away; only then can my plan truly begin."
Ignoring the royal family, she pointed towards the people from the Ancient Spirit Academy and introduced, "That person in the golden robe is Nangong You, the headmaster of the Ancient Spirit Academy. Look at his attire; in the Ling Sheng Dynasty, not many dare to wear gold. It's a blatant provocation to the royal family. Gold is exclusive to royalty in any country or Holy Dynasty, and others generally cannot wear it."
"One of the two people beside Nangong You is Mu Ba... I don't want to say much about Mu Ba; I just hope you won't cause us any trouble later. The other is Ji Lindong, the third powerhouse of the Ancient Spirit Academy. That middle-aged man is Mu Qingyan's father, Mu Shengfeng."
Elegant harbored deep resentment towards the Mu Family and casually mentioned a few things before unwilling to look in that direction any longer. Her sister Qingling's injury was caused by the Mu Family, and such enmity could only be repaid with life.
In contrast to Elegant's reluctance to look closely, Wei Chen quietly committed the details of the Ancient Spirit Academy, especially regarding the Mu Family, to memory. The presence of Mu Qingyan's father and grandfather left him feeling uneasy.
He questioned himself—when the time came, would he truly be able to remain calm?
Finally, Elegant pointed at Mi, Mo, and the Veiled Girl, introducing them as "people from the Black Moon Sect. The Black Moon Sect is very mysterious; they operate discreetly and do not recruit disciples widely. Their method of selecting disciples is different from that of ordinary sects like Cloud Spirit Sect. What I've learned is that they do not place much importance on talent but take a different approach. Only those from the Black Moon Sect know the specifics, but they have been so low-key in recent years that I don't have much information."
From across a large arena, Wei Chen squinted as he observed the individuals from Black Moon Sect several hundred meters away. Among two elderly men sat a Black Skirt Black Veil Girl, stirring a strange feeling within him.
"How can this be? Her figure is exactly like Sister Wei Rou's."
Wei Chen scrutinized the Veiled Girl; her physique and posture astonished him deeply.
"Sister Wei Rou is at Soul Palace; she can't possibly be part of Black Moon Sect. Am I mistaken?"
With this question lingering in his mind, Wei Chen continued to observe her for a long time, drawing curious glances from Elegant beside him.
"What are you looking at? You can't even see her face..." Elegant huffed in dissatisfaction.
Only then did Wei Chen shift his gaze back to Elegant. She possessed an unparalleled beauty—mature and stunning, with an alluring fragrance wafting around her. Compared to her, it seemed wasteful to focus on a distant stranger whom he couldn't even see clearly.
Just as he was about to speak, two elderly men suddenly appeared on the arena.
The crowd was stunned; even Pan Feng and Headmaster Nangong You of Ancient Spirit Academy were unaware of how those two had reached the arena.
Countless gazes focused on the two old men, who were none other than the current Island Master of Peach Blossom Island, Mr. Mo, and the former Island Master, Formation Master Han Mang!
Wherever Han Mang was present, no one dared to call themselves a Formation Master. His status in the eyes of Formation Masters was akin to that of a deity.
Both the disciples and the Formation Master from the Ancient Spirit Academy stared at Han Mang with excitement, wishing they could rush forward to worship him.
Whispers began to circulate, and soon everyone sitting by the Arena knew the identities of these two individuals.
"The enigmatic Island Master of Peach Blossom Island looks just like an ordinary old man!"
"Isn't that obvious? Everyone is born from their parents."
"Mr. Mo and Formation Master Han Mang—are they going to settle their past grievances with a duel?"
"Of course not; they've already negotiated. It's their disciples who will fight while they themselves will not engage."
"If they did fight, the ticket price for this event would be worth it!"
"Come on, both of them are Earth Soul Realm Experts. If they fought here, the entire Ancient Spirit Academy would be destroyed!"
Amidst the murmurs, Han Mang and Mr. Mo stood quietly in the Arena, showing no signs of movement or revealing any overwhelming presence. The air around the vast Arena began to ripple strangely, creating visible waves as if disturbed by an unseen force. The mere gaze exchanged between the two strongest figures of the Ling Sheng Dynasty caused spatial tremors!
Wei Chen felt an exhilarating rush; was a fight about to break out? He could clearly sense the intense fury radiating from Mr. Mo and Han Mang!
