"I don't really understand … Why did the overlord choose me?"
Chen Xiaobei was very calm. He did not let the overlord's words get to his head.
As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.
Chen Xiaobei did not believe that the overlord would give him benefits for no reason.
"You're worried that I only want to use you to do three things, and that I don't really want to help you become the overlord, right?" asked the overlord.
Chen did not say anything. It was a silent agreement.
After all, Atlantis was destroyed by Chen Xiaobei and the Demonic Fox. Not only did the overlord not punish Chen Xiaobei, he even wanted to promote Chen Xiaobei. This made Chen Xiaobei suspicious.
"I know that you're doubtful! You can't believe my decision! Then listen carefully. Why did I choose you?! "
The overlord said. "First of all, the Lu Family has completely disappointed me. Finding someone to replace them is something that I have to do!
Secondly, the person that I'm looking for must have enough prestige! After I help him become the overlord, at least the people will be convinced! You just happen to fit the bill! "
Thirdly, I don't like my subordinates to form cliques and factions! Compared to choosing an old family to replace the Lu Family, I'm more inclined to choose a newbie like you who has no foundation!
"Fourth, everyone knows that I dote on my ninth son the most, Dingjun! I've always wanted to find an outstanding genius to help him! And you are the most suitable candidate! "
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao had already analyzed the first three points.
But the fourth point was something that Chen Xiaobei had not thought of!
To assist Ximen Dingjun!
To put it mildly, Chen Xiaobei wanted to be Ximen Dingjun's trusted aide! To put it mildly, if Ximen Dingjun were to inherit the overlord's position one day, it would be a matter of great importance to the country for generations to come!
If Chen Xiaobei agreed to help Ximen Dingjun, he would definitely be under the overlord's strict control.
"I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to help Ninth Young Lord …" Chen Xiaobei did not want to take up this hot potato.
"You don't have to be modest in front of me! In the battle of the immense forest, millions of youths have already praised your abilities to the point of being a god. Whether it's your ability to adapt to the situation or your decisiveness in killing, you can be considered outstanding! "
The overlord said, "The biggest problem now is that I didn't see it with my own eyes! That's why I came up with three difficult questions to test you! As long as you can pass, this seat will definitely help you up! "
"I'm willing to try my best to solve the problem that the Overlord has given me! However, my goal is to replace the Lu Family. I'm afraid I won't be able to assist the Ninth Young Master well … "
"So, you're not being humble. You're just trying to shirk your responsibility!" The overlord's eyes narrowed. "You're assisting my son, which means you're working for me! You haven't even proven your loyalty, so what right do you have to be picky? "
"This …"
"Since I'm in Northern Wilderness Starfield, I'm willing to serve you. If I can pass the three difficult questions, I will do my best to assist the Ninth Young Lord!" Chen Xiaobei was taken aback.
If Chen Xiaobei wanted to replace the Lu Family, he would have to take up the hot potato that was Ximen Dingjun.
If he did not accept it, he would be labeled as a disloyal person. At that time, not only would his plan to enter the Southern Town Star Palace fail, but it might even bring disaster upon him!
But it was clear that the overlord was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"There's no knowing what's in a man's heart. Even though you say that, I don't know what's really going on in your heart!"
The overlord said. "If you're really loyal to me, then come over here and let me plant a curse on you!"
"Curse?!" Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat.
"Mm, I'm not going to lie to you! Once this poison curse is planted, your life will be grasped in this seat's hands! "
The overlord said. "If you're disloyal, I can kill you with a single thought! Of course, as long as you're loyal, the curse will never be activated! I will also give you my absolute trust! It's up to you whether you want to plant the curse or not! "
I knew it!
Just as he expected, once Chen Xiaobei agreed to help Ximen Dingjun, he would definitely be under the overlord's control!
And the overlord even gave Chen Xiaobei 'special treatment'! He did not plant any spies around Chen Xiaobei. Instead, he planned to hold Chen Xiaobei's life in his hands, just like how he would control a Demonic Beast!
After all, Ximen Dingjun was the overlord's favorite son. This was the only way to make the overlord feel completely at ease.
There was a saying that accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. Most people would not simply plant a curse on themselves and hand their lives over to the overlord.
But Chen Xiaobei was an exception. Without hesitation, he said, "I'm willing to plant the curse because I'm loyal!"
Others might be afraid of this curse, but Chen Xiaobei was not!
Because there was the Nine Twists Thousand Hearts Herb in the Overgrown Forest's hidden treasure. As long as Chen Xiaobei wanted to, the overlord could plant the curse on him and Chen Xiaobei would be able to remove it himself.
That way, Chen Xiaobei would agree to plant the curse in exchange for the overlord's trust.
"Good! Very good! " The overlord nodded and flicked his finger. Immediately, a dark-red beam of light shot into Chen Xiaobei's heart.
The dark-red light flashed for a moment and formed a set of strange runes before disappearing.
"Good! It's done! "
A smile finally appeared on the Northern Wilderness Overlord's cold face. "From now on, you have officially gained my trust. As long as you have what it takes, I will definitely groom you well!"
Clearly, the overlord did not think that Chen Xiaobei was an ordinary person. But as long as the curse was planted, Chen Xiaobei would never be able to escape from the overlord's palm! The more powerful Chen Xiaobei was, the happier the overlord would be!
"So, can you tell me the content of the three difficult questions now?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Of course. But don't be impatient. Let's go through them one by one."
The Northern Wilderness Overlord said with a half-smile, "The first question is about the young lady that you've brought with you!"
"Shuang 'er?! What happened to her?! "Chen Xiaobei had a bad feeling about this.
"While we were talking, she was taken away by the Tie Family!" said the overlord.
"What?!" Chen Xiaobei's face fell. He never thought that he would be tricked by the overlord!
