Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Persuading to Quit (2nd Update)

Yingxian Tower, sixth floor.

In a vastly luxurious room.

"Young Master Zi, instead of staying in the Royal Capital, why have you come to Xiongwu Prefecture?"

Piano Girl looked towards Zi Lingyang, smiling slightly as she spoke.

Although she understood in her heart, she wanted to confirm it once more.

Zi Lingyang said excitedly, "We are here for the Star...ouch, Ling’er, why did you kick me?"

"I’ll kick you to death, that’s what!"

Zi Ling’er said with an air of annoyance.

Her brother was quite good in every aspect, except when it came to Qin Xianzi, he simply couldn’t stay on track.

She couldn’t understand why her brother was fond of this woman who was several years older than him?

Plus, Qin Xianzi had a heap of suitors in the Royal Capital.

From Princely Heirs to the outstanding talents of the two Academic Palaces, Yangxing and Jiangxing, even if Qin Xianzi picked eighteen, it wouldn’t be her brother’s turn!

Usually, he’s quite sharp-minded, so why does he become so dim-witted at critical moments?

"We’re here for the Star Soul Fruit of Flowers Valley."

Zi Lingyang spilled the beans: "It is said that the Star Soul Fruit can enhance the cultivation level of a mid-tier Divine Thought Master’s Divine Soul Realm. We are here specifically because of my sister Ling Er."

Zi Ling’er felt utterly disheartened.

She had warned Zi Lingyang, yet he had revealed everything, even the purpose of the Star Soul Fruit. Was he presenting treasures to Qin Xianzi?

Piano Girl smiled and nodded: "We are here for the same reason."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling’er felt somewhat relieved.

Yet Zi Lingyang looked rather oddly towards Ling Chen: "Immortal, is this the helper you’ve invited?"

He sensed that Ling Chen was only at the Spirit Sea Realm.

You should know, the minimum cultivation level of those competing for the Star Soul Fruit starts at the Primordial Pill Realm!

And guarding the Star Soul Fruit tree is a fourth-order Heavenly Spiritual Beast.

What use could a Cultivator of the Spirit Sea Realm be?

Is he going to deliver himself to death?

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded.

Hearing this, Piano Girl could only nod along.

She obviously couldn’t disclose that Ling Chen was a Divine Thought Master.

Without Ling Chen’s acknowledgement, she would not presume to decide for him.

Moreover, even though Ling Chen’s cultivation level was not high, his strength was terrifyingly formidable.

Even a Spiritual Body of the Primordial Pill Realm triple level had fallen at his hands.

To say he was her helper posed no issue at all.

Zi Lingyang looked keenly at Ling Chen, then turned towards Piano Girl and said, "Qin Xianzi, why don’t we form a team together? After all, my sister Ling Er is a Divine Thought Master too, and she’s also competing for the Star Soul Fruit. It’s better to stick together for mutual support."

"Moreover, with my strength, even seizing two Star Soul Fruits wouldn’t be too difficult!"

He said this with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, he possessed a Super Spiritual Body; with other methods up his sleeve, he could even fight against a fourth-level Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator!

Piano Girl was slightly startled, then she looked towards Ling Chen.

"Good, then we shall thank Young Master Zi in advance!"

Ling Chen smiled and gave a slight bow to Zi Lingyang.

"Good!"

Seeing Ling Chen agree, Piano Girl nodded as well.

Zi Lingyang looked somewhat astonished, finding the two’s demeanor quite strange; Qin Xianzi and her companion seemed to follow Ling Chen’s lead.

"Heh heh, right. Since Qin Xianzi invited this Ling Chen to compete for the Star Soul Fruit, naturally we should consider Ling Chen’s opinion."

He quickly understood.

"Alright, then it’s settled."

Zi Lingyang was quite happy.

"Heartless brother!"

Meanwhile, Zi Ling’er rolled her eyes.

...

Deep in the night.

A knock on the door, Zi Lingyang’s voice came through: "Young Master Ling, come out for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

"Alright!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly and opened the door to step out.

Taking advantage of the nighttime, the two went down to the city walls.

"What business? It has to be discussed in the middle of the night?"

Ling Chen looked towards Zi Lingyang.

He had already roughly guessed the latter’s intention.

Zi Lingyang coldly said, "Young Master Ling, one should know their own limitations. With your strength, you cannot protect Qin Xianzi, let alone vie for the Star Soul Fruit for her! Thus, I hope you can withdraw on your own initiative."

"Don’t worry, I am willing to pay you double the price!"

Ling Chen laughed and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Zi Lingyang proudly smiled and said, "I am the scion of a Noble Family, not some country bumpkin you can compare with."

A hint of disdain flashed through his eyes, this guy is just after money, right?

If there’s nothing else he has a lot of, it’s money.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded.

Zi Lingyang, satisfied, said, "Tell me, how much did Qin Xianzi offer you?"

"One Star Soul Fruit!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

"What?"

Zi Lingyang’s face was filled with disbelief.

"Just give me two Star Soul Fruits, and I guarantee I’ll leave right now!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"That’s impossible! You’re not a Divine Thought Master, what do you want the Star Soul Fruit for?"

Zi Lingyang’s face grew cold.

This brat is obviously doing this on purpose, trying to get close to Qin Xianzi with ulterior motives!

Ling Chen glanced at Zi Lingyang and said, "Which eye of yours saw that I’m not a Divine Thought Master?"

"You really are a Divine Thought Master?"

Zi Lingyang was still disbelieving.

"Of course."

Ling Chen nodded.

With a thought, a burst of Divine Soul Telekinesis surged out, and a pebble on the ground immediately hovered in the air.

"How are you two Divine Thought Masters going to compete for the Star Soul Fruit?"

Zi Lingyang asked.

Whether it’s the Heavenly Spiritual Beast guarding the Star Soul Fruit tree or the helpers of other Divine Thought Masters, they are all at the Primordial Pill Realm level.

Unless they are both superior Divine Thought Masters, then they have a chance!

However, both of them need the Star Soul Fruit, which clearly indicates they are average Divine Thought Masters.

In front of Primordial Pill Realm powerhouses, an average Divine Thought Master doesn’t cut it!

"Don’t we have you?"

Ling Chen said with a sly smile.

Zi Lingyang had a dumbfounded look.

"Get lost! I won’t help you snatch the Star Soul Fruit!"

Coming to his senses, Zi Lingyang said angrily.

Help Ling Er because she’s his sister.

Help Qin Xianzi because she’s his goddess.

But helping Ling Chen, this man? What’s the meaning of this?

Zi Lingyang was frustrated. This youngster, did he even plot against him?

Ling Chen sighed and said rather mysteriously, "Alright, seeing as you have good intentions, I’ll also give you a piece of genuine advice. This Qin Xianzi clearly doesn’t fancy you; I suggest you’d better not get too obsessed!"

Zi Lingyang was startled; what was going on? He clearly came to advise Ling Chen to back off, so why was Ling Chen now advising him to do the same?

"That’s not right! You’re also after Qin Xianzi, aren’t you?"

Zi Lingyang stared at Ling Chen with a grave expression.

"I understand now, you’re deliberately advising me to back off, then you’ll take the opportunity to step in, right? Hmph! Rest assured, I won’t be fooled by you!"

Zi Lingyang had the look of someone who had seen through Ling Chen’s charade.

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "Suit yourself."

After speaking, he drifted away.

Just by her identity as Piano Girl, this Dark Night Son, Ling Chen knew that she would never accept the pursuit of the Royal Family or someone from the Eight Great Families.

Of course, he would never tell Zi Lingyang that.

If Zi Lingyang helps them, then he kindly offers a tip.

As for how he chooses, that is not something Ling Chen can interfere with!

Soon, two days passed by.
