Lianyao took the initiative to rope Xiao Chen in. Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile and stared at Lianyao with a faint smile.
He didn't expect Lianyao to say such a thing. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, Lianyao's pretty face blushed and she said in a somewhat displeased voice. "What's wrong?"
She took the initiative to rope Xiao Chen in, but after hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't give a clear answer. On the contrary, he kept staring at her, which made Lianyao very uncomfortable.
In the face of Lianyao's questioning, Xiao Chen smiled, withdrew his gaze, and said indifferently. "This shouldn't be Yun Kunyao's idea, right?"
Lianyao was trying to rope him in on behalf of Yun Kunyao, but Xiao Chen guessed that this was actually Lianyao's idea and not Yun Kunyao's.
The reason was very simple. Although Xiao Chen had only met Yun Kunyao once, Xiao Chen was certain that Yun Kunyao was an extremely arrogant woman. With her character, she definitely wouldn't take the initiative to rope him in.
As for why Lianyao did this, according to Xiao Chen's understanding, it was probably to allow Yun Kunyao to have more power in the Heavenly Yin Sun Sect.
To put it bluntly, Lianyao felt that Xiao Chen might be able to defeat Bai Qiuran. When the time came, Xiao Chen would replace Bai Qiuran's position and become the new Chosen on the Saint Rankings of the Heavenly Yin Sun Sect.
In this way, if Xiao Chen was willing to submit to Yun Kunyao, it was imaginable how much power Yun Kunyao would have in the Heavenly Yin Sun Sect. From then on, Yun Kunyao would definitely be the only voice in the main branch.
Lianyao did this for Yun Kunyao's sake, but she clearly didn't know Xiao Chen well enough. Before Lianyao could answer, Xiao Chen glanced at her slightly changed expression and said indifferently, "Unfortunately, it's a pity that I don't submit to others.
"But it's a pity. I've never had the habit of relying on others. Maybe it's because of my personality since I was young. I don't like to lower my head to others."
Xiao Chen's words were a clear rejection of Lianyao's invitation. Upon hearing this, Lianyao's expression turned completely cold. She glared at Xiao Chen and said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Xiao Chen, do you know that without Senior Sister Yun Kunyao's help, you will definitely die once the Heavenly Yin Valley is over... and Bai Qiuran will definitely not let you off."
She did not expect that Xiao Chen would reject her so directly. He did not even think about it. This made Lian Yao feel humiliated. Therefore, she could not help but feel angry.
However, Xiao Chen didn't care about Lianyao's anger at all. First of all, Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of Lianyao at all with his current combat strength. Secondly, even if he faced Bai Qiuran, Xiao Chen wasn't afraid at all. Just because he didn't want to provoke her didn't mean that he was afraid.
Therefore, Xiao Chen replied with a smile on his face. "You don't have to worry about that. I've already said that we'll deal with whatever comes our way. As for who will emerge victorious in the end, I'm afraid we still don't know."
Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of Bai Qiuran and the Bai Family, nor did he have any intention of borrowing Yun Kunyao's power. Lianyao didn't say anything else after hearing Xiao Chen's words.
"Hmph, I hope Junior Brother doesn't regret it."
Lianyao turned around and left. In Lianyao's opinion, Xiao Chen didn't know what was good for him.
He even dared to reject Yun Kunyao's recruitment. Didn't he know how many people in the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect wanted to follow Yun Kunyao but failed?
With Yun Kunyao's strength and status, she didn't need to take the initiative to recruit anyone in the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect. To put it bluntly, she only needed to say a word and there would definitely be many people willing to work for her.
However, Xiao Chen clearly wasn't among them. No matter what status Yun Kunyao had, Xiao Chen wouldn't rely on her. Or rather, Xiao Chen didn't want to rely on others.
The same was true for the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect. If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect was structured like an alliance, Xiao Chen probably wouldn't have agreed to let the Sacred Palace rely on the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect.
Therefore, even now, Xiao Chen still didn't treat himself as a disciple of the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect. Of course, Yin-yangzi didn't force Xiao Chen either. This was the fundamental reason why Xiao Chen was willing to stay in the Heavenly Yin Solar Sect.
Lianyao left without looking back. As soon as she left, Qin Shuirou and the other two girls came to Xiao Chen. Hundred Flower Fairy asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did the negotiation fall apart?"
"Heh, she wanted me to rely on Yun Kunyao, but I rejected her." Xiao Chen naturally didn't hide anything from Hundred Flower Fairy and told the three girls the truth.
Hundred Flower Fairy's smile didn't fade when she heard Xiao Chen's words. "I knew you would say that, but I'm afraid there will be some trouble in the future."
Although Xiao Chen's rejection today didn't offend Yun Kunyao, it definitely offended Lianyao. If Lianyao took the initiative to find trouble with Xiao Chen in the future, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
Therefore, Hundred Flower Fairy seemed to have guessed that there would be a lot of trouble in the future. They hadn't dealt with Bai Qiuran yet, and now there was the possibility of offending the even more terrifying Yun Kunyao.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard Hundred Flower Fairy's words. Given Xiao Chen's impression of Yun Kunyao, if she were to find out about what had happened today, it would not only be a possibility, it would definitely be very troublesome.
Yun Kunyao would definitely come looking for trouble with him. As for the reason, it was very simple. Yun Kunyao was like a queen who wouldn't allow anyone to disobey her. Therefore, after today's incident, Yun Kunyao would definitely seek revenge.
But even then, Xiao Chen still didn't regret his choice. It couldn't be helped. Xiao Chen wasn't willing to rely on others, and he wouldn't lower his head.
Who cares, there will be a time when it'll be resolved. He didn't want to think about it anymore. After waiting on the short mountain for three days, Chen Ling, Long Qing, Chen Yu, and Tian Yue finally broke through successfully.
All four of them had successfully broken through from the perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm to the perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, their breakthroughs were definitely good news for the Sacred Palace.
Before their breakthroughs, the four of them already possessed the strength of the top ten candidates. Now that they'd broken through together, their strength would definitely not be inferior to Lianyao and Zhu Mujue.
It could be said that the breakthrough of Chen Ling and the other three had forcefully raised the strength of the Sacred Palace faction to a whole new level. Although their numbers were still small, their strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Xiao Chen estimated that the current Sacred Palace faction, with just the five of them, would be able to contend with the other five factions outside of the main faction.
