Originally, the Heavenly Palace had wanted Tian Muxi to take action and dampen Xiao Chen's spirit. Unfortunately, Tian Muxi was not interested at all.
However, a few days ago, there was news of a secret realm appearing at the border between the Heavenly Palace and the Ghost Palace. When the news came out, both clans sent experts to investigate. In the end, they came to the conclusion that the secret realm was not simple at all.
It was a new secret realm that had appeared, and it was very powerful. As a result, both the Heavenly Palace and Ghost Palace naturally wanted to take it for themselves.
If they wanted to compete for this newly emerged Secret Realm, they would definitely have to fight. However, if the matter was blown out of proportion, it was obviously not a situation that the two clans were willing to see. Therefore, after a discussion between the Great Saint Emperors of the two clans, they decided to send three Holy Sons of the Saint Rankings to fight. The ownership of this Secret Realm would be determined based on the final outcome.
Using the Chosen of the Saint Rankings to decide the ownership of the secret realm was a very good method. Firstly, it could avoid an all-out war, and secondly, it was persuasive enough. After all, the status of a Chosen of the Saint Rankings was very high in any clan.
What Tian Muxi wanted Xiao Chen to do was very simple. She wanted him to represent the Heavenly Palace. As long as he won one battle, the matter between the Heavenly Palace and Xiao Chen would be resolved.
She explained the matter to Xiao Chen in a simple manner. When he heard that, Xiao Chen did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked at Tian Muxi suspiciously and asked.
"Your Heavenly Palace has so many Chosen of the Saint Rankings? Why can't it be me? "
The Heavenly Palace was very powerful, and there were many Chosen of the Saint Rankings. There was no reason for an outsider like him to interfere. Tian Muxi smiled and did not hide anything.
"You defeated Tian He Feng. Tian He Feng is the third Chosen of my Heavenly Palace. You're stronger than him, so your chances of winning will naturally be higher than his.
"Besides, as I said just now, this is a favor. That is to say, this is free. If you win, my Heavenly Palace will not give you anything, and that secret realm will still belong to my Heavenly Palace. Don't you think it's stupid not to use free labor?"
To put it bluntly, it would be a waste not to use Xiao Chen. In any case, the Heavenly Palace did not need to pay any price, and Xiao Chen was indeed stronger than Tianhe Peak. Letting Xiao Chen fight was obviously better than letting Tianhe Peak fight. In that case, why not choose Xiao Chen? In any case, there was no loss to the Heavenly Palace.
Tian Muxi was rather straightforward. In short, her Heavenly Palace was clearly using him, and there was no benefit to be gained from it.
You do the work, and my Heavenly Palace gets the benefits. Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. Tian Muxi was indeed a weirdo. She asked for help, but she didn't know how to be tactful. Didn't she know that saying this would really hurt her?
Xiao Chen looked helplessly at Tian Muxi, but Tian Muxi was still looking at him with a smile, as if she wasn't afraid that Xiao Chen would refuse at all.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and in the end, it was Xiao Chen who spoke first. "You haven't finished speaking, right? This should only be one of the reasons. What else?"
There were definitely more reasons for insisting that Xiao Chen fight. Moreover, from Tian Muxi's appearance, she didn't plan on giving Xiao Chen a chance to refuse this time.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tian Muxi smiled. "Not bad, very smart. There is indeed another reason. If you don't fight, my Heavenly Palace doesn't have absolute confidence in defeating the Ghost Race."
Although none of the Chosen on the Saint Ranking of the Ghost Clan could contend against Tian Muxi, Tian Fen and Tian He Feng were not confident that they could defeat their opponents.
The top three Chosen of the Celestial Race were ranked like this. Tian Muxi was ranked second on the Saint Rankings, Tian Fen was ranked seventh, and Tianhe Peak was currently ranked 37th.
This was the ranking of the top three Chosen of the Celestial Race. On the Ghost Race's side, the First Chosen of the Ghost Race was ranked fifth, while the Third Chosen was ranked 35th.
In this way, the situation was very clear. In the competition for the First Holy Son, Tian Muxi would definitely win. This was because even though there was only a difference of two ranks between the second and the fourth, the gap was extraordinarily large. Thus, Tian Muxi could be said to be the sure-win version.
However, apart from Tian Muxi, Tian Fen and Tianhe Peak were ranked lower than the other two Chosen of the Ghost Race. Moreover, Tian Fen had once fought the Second Chosen of the Ghost Race and lost in the end.
Thus, Tian Fen's chances of victory were very, very low. It didn't exceed 20%. Once Tian Fen lost, the key to victory would fall on the Third Chosen of both sides.
Unfortunately, it was very difficult for Tianhe Peak to defeat the Third Chosen of the Ghost Race with its strength. Thus, compared to Tianhe Peak, Xiao Chen's chances of victory were clearly higher.
As if she was certain that Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to refuse, Tian Muxi didn't hide anything and told him the truth.
Tian Muxi did not hide anything from Xiao Chen about the free labor and the blatant exploitation of him.
If Xiao Chen were to fight, it would be obvious that he wouldn't gain anything in the end. At most, his enmity with the Heavenly Palace would be written off.
After hearing Tian Muxi's explanation, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. "Erm, can I refuse?"
To put it bluntly, this was working for nothing. Xiao Chen naturally didn't want to agree. However, Tian Muxi smiled and said, "Sure, as long as you think you can defeat me."
In any case, she didn't plan on giving Xiao Chen a chance to refuse. If he didn't agree, Tian Muxi would have no choice but to fight.
Hearing Tian Muxi's words, Xiao Chen had already expected such an outcome. He glanced at Tian Yue and saw the worried look on the little girl's face. Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Sigh, forget it. I'll just treat it as repaying this woman for taking care of Tian Yue."
With that thought, Xiao Chen looked at Tian Muxi and said, "Alright, I agree."
"I knew it. Then I'll go tell the palace master and the others," said Tian Muxi with a smile.
Tell the palace master? Hearing this, Xiao Chen was taken aback, and then he said in disbelief, "You... You didn't do this on your own, did you? Doesn't your Heavenly Palace's palace master know? "
He had always thought that the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace wanted him to fight, but now it seemed that this wasn't the case. It was completely Tian Muxi's own idea.
Tian Muxi smiled and stood up. "I had no choice. The palace master wanted me to teach you a lesson, but I didn't want to fight you. Now that something like this happened, if you can help the Heavenly Palace win this battle, I'm sure the palace master won't make things difficult for you."
It was completely Tian Muxi's own idea. Hearing this, Xiao Chen was completely defeated. It was no wonder. No matter how shameless the higher-ups of the Heavenly Palace were, they wouldn't let him fight on behalf of the Heavenly Palace. Only Tian Muxi could come up with such a ridiculous idea.
