Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 120 - Yuan Shuchun's Confusion



On the stage, Yuan Shuchun stood still as thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind as she slowly turned and glanced at Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang, who were now sitting side by side.

She was now sure that the small aura that she felt when these two passed by her was the same aura that suppressed everyone before the banquet started.

\'How the hell did that aura come from them?\' 

\'Isn\'t Hu Xing the disciple with the Sword Intent!?\'

She tried to clear her thoughts and make a sense out of the situation as her intuition told her that this was no coincidence and all her senses were pointing at Zheng Xiang to be the one who had Sword Intent.

While her mind told her that it was Ye Tian Yun who had broken through Sword Intent.

She knew Ye Tian Yun\'s \'real\' background, and considering that he is also a Sword cultivator and passed by her when she sensed the intent, he was the one who was most likely to have sword Intent.

\'Fang Chen\'s father is Sect Leader Su, one of the most powerful sword cultivators of the Lower Heavens and also one of the very few cultivators who possess the fabled Sword Domain. So Fang Chen should be the one who is most likely to possess Sword Intent, however as per Grand Elder, he has not shown any significant talent in recent times.\'

\'As for Zheng Xiang… I should have asked Grand Elder to investigate more about him. For now, I must get these two into my Heavenly League.\'

...

Now that all the seven peak disciplines have left the platform, only four people, including Hu Xing, remained on the stage.

And when Yuan Shuchun\'s expression changed, it didn\'t escape the senses of the other two core Disciples standing across her.

However, both were confused and didn\'t take it as anything important, but when she glanced at Ye Tiang Yun\'s seat, Jun Xie suddenly realized.

\'She knows!\'

Jun Xie pursed his lips to think what to do next and suddenly came with a wild idea, \'If I insist that I will recruit Hu Xing at any cost, maybe her thoughts will waiver. I can\'t let her find out about Fang Chen\'s talent, or else he won\'t be of any use to me.\'

Without hesitation, he looked at Hu Xing and said, "Junior Brother Hu Xing, I have already talked about the benefits you will get from being a part of the Nine Supremes. However, all of them pale in comparison to the last thing that I want to tell you about."

"Do you know why the Nine Supremes have only a fixed number of members?"

His words aroused the interest of everyone in the hall. Who would not want to know the reason behind this peculiar League?

And seeing Hu Xing\'s interested expression, Jun Xie gave a slight smile and said, "The Peak Masters personally teach all the Nine Supremes, and sometimes even Sect Leader Su give us a lesson on sword path, while on other days, Second Peak Master, who is is a renowned alchemist, teaches us Alchemy in his leisure time."

"And with the guidance of these Peak Masters and Sect Leader, the Nine Supremes are alone enough to go head to head against the other league."

"You should consider your choice very properly."

His words were shocking to more than half of the disciples present in the Banquet Hall. Many took deep breaths to digest what they had just heard.

Even in their dreams, they could never fathom the value of getting personal guidance from the sect\'s most powerful cultivators.

Just as Hu Xing was almost convinced from Jun Xie\'s words, Jiang Yun started to speak, "Junior brother Hu Xing, there are many people who wish to join the World League not only because of its abundant resources but also because of its backing, its background and number of members."

"Some might criticize that the World League considers quantity or quality; however, the truth is quite the opposite to this. In World League, all the disciplines who become part have a probation period of six months after which they are judged to be worthy of part of a League."

"And I don\'t think with your talent you need to waste six months; I can assure you that once you join the World League, you will be given treatment to open a core member from day one, and you will also get to and cultivate with the highest branch of World League members."

"While other leagues might give you great teachers, but the path of cultivation is long and rough, in the World League, you will get to meet your future comrades, your brothers who would even be willing to sacrifice themselves."

Hu Xing showed an expression of interest.

It was now Yuan Shuchun\'s turn, and without hesitation, she said, "Junior disciple Hu Xing, I won\'t give you any extra benefits. Heavenly League treats all its members as equals. If you decide to join us, you will be starting from the very bottom though you will be given preference and some cultivation support from my side because of your talent; however, it will be only limited to that. And there won\'t be any privileges like core membership or training, especially with core members. As I said, you will have to start from the very bottom and work your way up.

\'What!?\' 

Her words surprised everyone.

\'Wasn\'t she just say she was willing to let him cultivate with her? Why did her words change all of a sudden?\' Such thought went through half of the disciples in the hall, including the other two core disciples.

Jiang Yun was more confused because he was expecting a ridiculous offer from her. 

\'Is she trying to lure Hu Xing by giving him hard conditions? Cheap tricks!\'

To Jiang Yun, it was no more than an act of \'showing what the prey wanted, without actually showing.\' 

Such tsundere tricks were not new things and have been used by women since ancient times.
