Peerless War God

He had thought of many situations, and he had even thought of everything. He would do anything to recruit Chen Xiao, even if he had to risk everything.    

He was very confident in this point.    

He also knew that Chen Xiao had agreed to be the Third Prince's personal guard to protect him because he had taken the benefits of the God Fortifying Pill.    

Since he had a weakness, it was easy to talk about it. People were always greedy. Song Tianyou asked himself if he could offer a higher price than the Third Prince. He should have a chance to recruit Chen Xiao.    

But now, he had been ruthlessly slapped in the face and rejected by Chen Xiao without mercy.    

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, feeling extremely awkward.    

Finally, he braced himself and asked unwillingly, "Why, why did Senior reject me so decisively?"    

He had originally wanted to mention the Third Prince, but when it came to the end, he held back.    

Chen Xiao's ice-cold gaze made his heart tremble, and he felt a trace of fear.    

"Why, why? I'm not interested," Chen Xiao replied coldly, not giving him any leeway.    

Song Tianyou gritted his teeth and quickly said, "Senior, if you have any conditions, feel free to mention them. I will definitely satisfy them. I won't say no. God Fortifying Pills and other treasures, my Song Clan also has quite a few."    

"Heh." Chen Xiao only sneered and did not say anything else.    

He turned around and ignored the other party.    

"This..."    

Song Tianyou wanted to persuade him again. There were not many opportunities like this. A genuine Immortal Realm expert was right in front of him. If he did not grasp this opportunity to stabilize the family, he would regret it.    

At this time, the Third Prince returned and patted Song Tianyou's shoulder, interrupting his words. He advised earnestly, "Uncle, why do you force others? Senior has already said that he is unwilling to go. If you continue, it will not be good, right?"    

The Third Prince's tone was gloomy and carried a hint of threat.    

For him, even if it was his own mother, he had to be on guard at all times. He could not completely trust her, let alone Chen Xiao, who was involved in the Wushuang Secret Realm. He had to be careful and not make any mistakes.    

Hearing this, Song Tianyou's face turned ugly. He sighed and said, "Third Brother, you should know that the current situation in the family is quite difficult. If there is no Immortal Realm expert personally overseeing it, it will continuously decline. Even the original foundation will not be able to be guarded. You won't just sit by and do nothing, right?"    

The Third Prince said indifferently, "Yes, I know. Uncle, sometimes, you should let go. You can't force it. There are some things that do not belong to us. Letting go now might not be a bad opportunity."    

Hearing this, Song Tianyou's face turned green. "You, what do you mean by that?"    

The Third Prince heavily patted Song Tianyou's shoulders and said, "Uncle, I was just reminding you that you shouldn't force things. When you should let go, you should let go. Otherwise, it will be too late."    

"This..."    

Song Tianyou's heart trembled, and his expression changed. He stared at the Third Prince, as if he wanted to see what was on his face.    

Unfortunately, the Third Prince's face was calm, as if there was nothing to see.    

"Old Third, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it. Even I am not willing to tell the truth?"    

Song Tianyou asked, wanting to know the truth.    

When the Third Prince saw this, he sighed and said, "Uncle, it's precisely because you are my family that I personally reminded you. If it was someone else, I wouldn't even bother with them. The Divine Dynasty will not perish, so don't think too much."    

Hearing this, Song Tianyou's expression changed greatly. "You..."    

"Alright, that's all I have to say."    

After the Third Prince said this, he looked at Chen Xiao and cupped his hands. "Senior, just now, Father has already summoned you. Let's go to the Divine Imperial Palace now."    

Chen Xiao glanced at Song Tianyou indifferently and nodded. "Alright."    

"Let's go."    

Immediately, the Third Prince accompanied Chen Xiao and soared into the air, speeding towards the Divine Imperial Palace.    

The cultivators below shouted, "Greetings, Third Highness, Senior."    

"Goodbye, Third Highness. Goodbye, Senior."    

It could be said that they had to make a good show of it. They had to finish what they had to finish. They could not afford to be careless.    

In the air, the two of them flew at a moderate speed towards the Divine Imperial Palace. They were unobstructed along the way. With the Third Prince leading the way, no one dared to stop them. There was not even a guard who came forward to inquire about them.    

Chen Xiao swept his gaze around and could not help but say, "Tsk, such a tight defense. Even these guards are peak-stage Tribulation Transcenders. As expected of the Peerless Dynasty, their foundation is deep."    

The Third Prince nodded and said, "Of course. The Divine Imperial Palace is the most important place in the Divine Dynasty, so it should be like this."    

"It's really extravagant and wasteful." Chen Xiao shook his head and said.    

The Third Prince was stunned. "So, Brother Chen Xiao actually thinks so?"    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Mm, recruiting so many peak-stage Tribulation Transcenders just to be a mere guard is really too wasteful. It's also a waste of talent. Heh, compared to the Purple Cloud City, the Divine Imperial Palace is too extravagant and wasteful."    

The Third Prince sighed and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, your opinion is great. If I become the Divine Emperor in the future, I will definitely reduce the number of guards by half."    

Chen Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you can be the Divine Emperor?"    

"I..." The Third Prince paused and was a little unconfident. He said, "I don't know either, but it's up to you. Don't you think so? I won't give up so easily."    

"Quite ambitious, but unfortunately, not much hope." Chen Xiao said honestly.    

Hearing that, the Third Prince was a little dejected. He said, "Brother Chen Xiao, can you not be so honest? Although it's good to be honest, it's hurtful to hear too much."    

"Heh, I don't like to lie," Chen Xiao said lightly.    

"So, you rejected Uncle Tianyou so decisively just now, without any hesitation? You should know that my Song Clan is a clan of cultivators. It is ranked second in the Divine Dynasty. Although the ancestor died unexpectedly, a starving camel is still a camel. If you agree, you will get a lot of benefits."    

The Third Prince was a little surprised.    

Chen Xiao looked deeply at him and asked, "What? You also want to be a lobbyist?"    

The Third Prince shook his head repeatedly. "No, I'm just very curious. Why did you join hands with me for the Divine Pill and then reject Song Tianyou so decisively? What is the reason?"    

Chen Xiao laughed and replied, "It's very simple. I'm afraid of trouble."    

"Trouble?"    

"Yes, I am used to being lazy and free. I don't like the days where I am restrained. Although the conditions offered by Song Tianyou are good, it is not my original intention. Besides, after you enter the Unparalleled Secret Realm, I will return to Violet Cloud City and won't stay for long."    

Chen Xiao said in a low voice.    

Hearing that, the Third Prince was shocked. He believed him and gave Chen Xiao a thumbs up. He was extremely impressed.    

Chen Xiao's attitude was truly free and easy, and he had also understood the meaning of life.    

He asked himself if he could not do it, and he could not help but feel envious.
