Supreme Tamer
Chapter 1492 - Chapter 1492 Chapter 1352 All Men Are So Despicable

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1352: All Men Are So Despicable Chapter 1492: Chapter 1352: All Men Are So Despicable Chu Mu did not communicate with Yu Suo through Mental Sound, but the less Chu Mu spoke, the more uncertain Yu Suo became about this guy.

However, Yu Suo was not one to show weakness either. If Chu Mu remained silent, she was determined not to say half a word to Chu Mu.

After everyone had been introduced, it was time to determine who would receive the Permanent Blessing. At this moment, anticipation could be seen on everyone’s faces.

Such an opportunity was hard to come by. Even the young prodigies backed by Major Powers were eager, as obtaining the Permanent Blessing would significantly enhance their strength.

Everyone’s gaze fell upon the Saintess, who leaned over to whisper a few words into Lady Gao’s ear. Lady Gao quickly understood and nodded her head.

“Wan Xitong from Qing Province, Chen Xian from Wo Province, Tuo Yun from Elemental Sect, Huang Yufei from Ze Province, the four of you please step forward. Lady Yu will grant you the blessing dew,” said Lady Gao.

The four named individuals were ecstatic, standing up from their seats in an instant!

These four had not performed spectacularly in this selection competition; it was evident from their seating positions. Yet what they never expected was to become the lucky ones, chosen by Lady Yu in the presence of so many prodigies.

Huang Yufei couldn’t contain his joy. The moment he stood up, he suddenly felt like he was a crane among chickens, strutting confidently.

“What did I tell you, Li Qingqing? I always said the Saintess has been keeping an eye on me. This is definitely not a coincidence!” Huang Yufei was boiling over with excitement, boasting in front of Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing, too, showed a look of disbelief upon hearing the results. Could it be true, as Huang Yufei claimed, that Lady Yu held a special favor for this dull fellow?

There was no reason for it. With so many young talents present, Tang Zhuo, Xin Xin, and Han Erxing were already well-known far and wide. The four individuals just named might be noteworthy in their respective provinces, but among this group of gifted prodigies, they would surely pale in comparison…

The seating area immediately erupted with various discussions and comments.

This included Tang Zhuo, Xin Xin, and Han Erxing, who were all astonished. They would never have guessed that Lady Yu would pass over them in favor of giving this rare opportunity to people they deemed unworthy.

“Lady Yu, may I ask what criteria you used to select those for the blessing?” Tang Zhuo eventually couldn’t hold back and asked.

People like Tang Zhuo had always been the center of attention, with every honor and favor falling to them. They believed they were entitled to receive the Permanent Blessing this time too, with everyone else merely playing a supporting role, given a blessing just for the look of it.

But when the blessing came, it didn’t include them at all. Instead, it was given to those they didn’t even regard, an experience of being neglected that was hard to stomach.

“Tang Zhuo, this is Lady Yu’s choice. In the eyes of the Saintess, there is no difference between nobility and lowliness, beauty and ugliness, strength and weakness. Everything depends solely on fate,” Lady Gao explained indifferently, aware of Tang Zhuo and the others’ dissatisfaction.

“Fate? Why does it feel like drawing lots to me?” Lu Panxue muttered at just the right moment.

Lady Gao glanced at Lu Panxue and let out a cold snort.

Lu Panxue was somewhat afraid of Lady Gao and did not dare to speak again.

Tang Zhuo and others may have expressed their discontent, but what could they do about it? No one dared to raise a genuine objection.

The four lucky individuals went before Lady Yu, excitedly receiving the blessed dew. When they stepped down, they could feel the envious and jealous looks from the crowd. Although they tried to appear calm, the look in their eyes betrayed their inner feelings. Not having achieved high rankings in the selection competition and not having garnered much attention before, being favored with the Permanent Blessing was a moment for them to hold their heads high!

Huang Yufei, with his rather simple mind, even appeared arrogantly pompous as he walked past Tang Zhuo.

Guo Shi, who was with Tang Zhuo, couldn’t stand it anymore and said disdainfully, “Trash will always be trash. Having one ability still makes you trash. Do you really think that getting some dew will put you on a par with us?”

Huang Yufei stopped in his tracks. If such words had come from Tang Zhuo, Huang Yufei knew well enough that he was several levels below and wouldn’t dare retort. But Guo Shi was just one of Tang Zhuo’s dogs, and with Huang Yufei’s straightforward nature, how could he tolerate it? His face turned beet red!

“What did you just say!” Huang Yufei glared at Guo Shi.

“What, are your ears not working?” Guo Shi was one of the finalists in the selection competition and didn’t take someone at Huang Yufei’s level seriously.

“You… Believe it or not, I will chop you up right now!” roared Huang Yufei, pointing at Guo Shi angrily.

“Oh please, who’s the one who lay on the ground like a dog, unable to even defeat my main pet?” Guo Shi taunted.

In Guo Shi’s eyes, Huang Yufei really wasn’t significant. During the competition, Guo Shi had defeated him with ease.

On one hand, Guo Shi was dissatisfied that such a worthless person had received the invaluable Permanent Blessing; on the other hand, seeing him put on airs in front of Tang Zhuo, Guo Shi naturally wanted to take him down a peg.

“That Huang Yufei, as dumb as a pig, even if he’s delighted inside, he shouldn’t show it. Those people are as proud as anything. They’re already annoyed that they didn’t get the blessing, and he’s actually provoking others, it’s enough to make you mad!” Li Qingqing spoke anxiously and angrily.

Of course, Lady Gao wouldn’t let such a dispute occur and ordered them back to their places.

Afterward, Lady Gao had maids deliver the Nourishing Dew to every attendee. The Nourishing Dew was no ordinary treasure; no one would be foolish enough to decline such an offering.

Having given out the gifts, Lady Gao dismissed the crowd. Those who did not receive the Permanent Blessing left with regret, only able to depart with consolation prizes, while the four who did receive the blessing left with beaming faces, surrounded by many curious onlookers eager to catch a glimpse of what the Permanent Dew actually looked like.

“Oh, Chu Mu from New Moon Land, the Saintess invites you to stay for a discussion,” Lady Gao suddenly spoke up as if she had just remembered something, while everyone had moved a certain distance away.

As these words were spoken, over a hundred people turned their heads, their gazes falling on Chu Mu and then onto Lady Yu.

Throughout the entire gifting and selection process, Lady Yu hadn’t uttered a word, including when bestowing the Permanent Blessing, communicating solely through her eyes.

Just when everyone thought no one would be graced with her voice today, Lady Gao unexpectedly asked a man, whose name none had heard before, to stay for a discussion?

“Who is Chu Mu from New Moon Land?” Someone voiced their doubt.

“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of him.”

“Isn’t Mu Qingyi Mu Shangguan the renowned contender from New Moon Land?” a member of the Divine Sect said.

“Where did this Chu Mu come from, who has faced him in competition, and what is his strength like?” Xin Xin asked with furrowed brows.

“I haven’t heard of him. But I saw just now he was sitting with Huang Yufei. He can’t be that strong,” Guo Shi snorted coldly.

“What is it with this Saintess, not choosing any of us who rank among the top but always taking a shine to these nobodies!”

Tang Zhuo fixed his gaze on Lady Yu, a woman utterly inscrutable, coldly neglecting them, the true elites, time and again. How could Tang Zhuo feel at ease? And although he maintained his composure and refrained from ridiculing and mocking Huang Yufei, Guo Shi’s words were exactly what he thought; he just wouldn’t voice them so readily out of personal restraint.

Likewise, this Chu Mu, who was associated with Huang Yufei, how could such a waste merit the Saintess’s favor!

“This Saintess really is unfathomable. Oh well, minor characters will always have their strokes of luck; it won’t affect much,” Xin Xin said with an indifferent smile, turning away nonchalantly.

Tang Zhuo gave Chu Mu a meaningful look, a slight smile tugging at his lips, then adjusted his mindset and turned to leave.

Others, to varying degrees, uttered their sour grapes before leaving Guangyue Palace one after the other.

Huang Yufei and Li Qingqing were dumbfounded for a long time before coming to their senses. Huang Yufei had felt extremely lucky to have been granted the blessing despite numerous hardships. Little did he expect that the final lucky one would be Chu Mu, the quiet sitter by his side.

“You two, wait outside,” Lady Gao glanced at Huang Yufei and Li Qingqing and promptly sent them out.

The two of them looked back at Chu Mu reluctantly and stepped outside to the garden.

The allure of the night coupled with the fragrance of flowers made the resplendent garden even more enchanting under the dim lights.

Now only Chu Mu, Lady Gao, and Lady Yu remained in the garden.

Lady Yu gestured for Lady Gao to step back first.

Lady Gao observed Chu Mu curiously then slowly left, but as she was about to exit, she overheard the title Lady Yu used for the man, a title that shocked her to the core, leaving her stunned for quite some time!

…

Yu Suo bit her lip, her enchantingly beautiful face carried a hint of humiliated irritation!

Had she not given her heart to this man, Yu Suo would never have used the term “Master” to address someone she so loathed!

“What game are you playing now?”

Chu Mu strolled leisurely to the place originally occupied by the Great Saintess Lady Yu and sat down without ceremony.

There were many outsiders present before, and Chu Mu had refrained from exposing her identity; but now that they were alone, he naturally felt more at ease.

“It’s none of your business,” Yu Suo said icily.

“I’m curious, why did you give the Permanent Blessing to those with mediocre reputations? It seems to me that you should have been taking control of these elites,” Chu Mu stated.

Seeing that Yu Suo did not answer, Chu Mu’s mouth curved into a smile.

Yu Suo felt uncomfortable all over when she saw Chu Mu smile like that, but eventually, she explained:

“Tang Zhuo, Xin Xin, and the others are too proud and arrogant. Simply giving them some benefits won’t make them want to pledge loyalty to me. On the contrary, the more they’re neglected, the easier it is to stir their pride. After neglecting them, even driving them to despair, then granting them some small favor will be much more effective than bestowing favor while they are already favored.”

“So that’s it, you’re quite skilled at manipulating people’s psychology.” Chu Mu nodded, finding it to be a rather clever strategy.

“Many men are just that despicable,” Yu Suo said coldly.

Of course, this statement included Chu Mu as well.
