Chapter 108 – A Wonderful Misunderstanding, Chen Changsheng Works Part-Time as a Matchmaker

After gaining a rough understanding of the situation regarding Destiny, Chen Changsheng received two very useful pieces of information.

First, the situation for the Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes would become even more difficult.

When the world underwent a great change, Chen Changsheng only vaguely sensed that powerful individuals would emerge.

However, he never imagined that a situation like Destiny would occur.

As things stand, it seems that the person with Destiny is unique.

In other words, the major forces of the Central Court would not allow a person with Destiny to appear outside of the Sacred Ground forces.

Once such a situation arises, everyone would unite to attack the person with Destiny.

Dealing with just the Kunlun Sacred Ground was already quite challenging; facing the entire Central Court, and even the forces of the Five Continents, Chen Changsheng had no confidence at all.

Second, he had lived for over a thousand years without ever hearing about Destiny.

Yet, these major forces of the Central Court knew about it in great detail, suggesting that the foundations of these Sacred Grounds were likely even more formidable than he imagined.

Moreover, regarding the information about Destiny, these people were definitely hiding a lot more.

If he wanted to help Li seize Destiny, he would lose the initiative.

Just as Chen Changsheng was pondering a solution, his gaze suddenly landed on the Holy Lord of the Zifu.

The Holy Lord of the Zifu was a female cultivator, who to this day had no Dao companion and always veiled her face with thin silk.

Faced with this extraordinarily graceful and beautiful woman, an ingenious idea suddenly struck Chen Changsheng.

The Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes indeed had a deadly feud with the Kunlun Sacred Ground, but their enmity with other Sacred Grounds wasn't as deep.

If Li could gain the support of one of the Sacred Grounds, the situation of being besieged would resolve itself.

Even if other Sacred Grounds wanted to compete with Li for Destiny, it wouldn't be a fight to the death; at that point, they would only need to be wary of the Kunlun Sacred Ground.

If asked what the most reliable way for two forces to form an alliance is, it would undoubtedly be through marriage!

The man is unmarried, the woman is unwed—this is simply a heaven-sent opportunity!

Having thought it all through, Chen Changsheng looked at the Holy Lord of the Zifu with a "peculiar" smile.

However, just that smile instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire Hero's Gathering.

"Crack!"

The cup in Zi Ning's hand shattered, and Fu Yao looked at Chen Changsheng with a slightly shocked expression.

Meanwhile, the powerful figures sitting in the main seats all turned their gazes elsewhere.

There was no helping it; what had just happened was too explosive.

If they watched too much, the Holy Lord of the Zifu would get angry.

At this moment, Gongsun Huaiyu, who was beside him, also realized something was amiss and quickly roused Chen Changsheng, who was busy plotting matchmaking.

"Young Master!"

Hearing Gongsun Huaiyu's voice, Chen Changsheng finally snapped back to reality.

"Ahem!"

Realizing his faux pas, Chen Changsheng quickly coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness, then put on a serious demeanor.

However, it was already too late to make amends; everyone had seen what just happened.

No one knew what Chen Changsheng was thinking, but everyone clearly saw his actions.

The Holy Lord of the Zifu answered some of Chen Changsheng's questions, and then this guy just kept staring at her.

If he were just staring, that would be one thing, but the problem was that this guy was also smiling.

That smile carried an indescribable emotion, very much like the smile of a man choosing a woman he fancied.

Seeing the atmosphere starting to veer off course, Jiang Bufan quickly spoke up.

"The Hero's Gathering has already begun, so let's proceed with the first event."

"The first event of the gathering is a Dao discussion, and the winner will receive this item."

Saying this, Jiang Bufan flipped his right hand, revealing a golden page.

Seeing this golden page, Chen Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ever since obtaining the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, Chen Changsheng had been keeping an eye out for news about the remaining cultivation techniques.

But after searching for a long time, he hadn't even seen a shadow of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, and now it unexpectedly appeared at the Hero's Gathering.

This Hero's Gathering was indeed a rare opportunity for him!

"This item is indestructible and incredibly sharp, forged from the Primordial Yellow Mother Gold."

"Moreover, it contains an extremely profound cultivation technique. Whether you can decipher it depends on your own fortune."

Seeing the reward Jiang Bufan presented, many heroes couldn't help but brighten up.

The Primordial Yellow Mother Gold was a legendary celestial metal from ancient times, and it was said that weapons forged from it were unbreakable.

Moreover, the most precious aspect of this treasure wasn't the celestial metal itself, but the cultivation technique recorded on it.

If the material carrying the cultivation technique was this precious, the technique itself was surely even more valuable.

Understanding the stakes involved, many heroes began to gear up, ready to try their luck at competing for this treasure.

"Swish!"

The usually silent Saintess of the Zifu stood up.

"Chen Changsheng, I challenge you!"

As she spoke, the Saintess of the Zifu's chest began to heave violently.

There was no helping it; at this moment, Zi Ning's heart was filled with nothing but the desire to tear Chen Changsheng to pieces, with no other thoughts.

Since the Zifu Sacred Ground decided to recruit Chen Changsheng, Zi Ning had imagined countless possible scenarios.

After all, recruiting a top-tier hero like Chen Changsheng was no simple task.

Resources, spiritual treasures, Dao companions, status—Zi Ning had considered all possible conditions.

She even imagined that Chen Changsheng might propose becoming her Dao companion.

Although she wouldn't agree to such a condition, she could accept the possibility of it happening.

But she never calculated that Chen Changsheng would set his sights on her master.

I considered you a Dao friend, but you want to be my "master's wife"? This is absolutely intolerable.

"Uh... Zi Ning, don't be so agitated."

"About what just happened..."

"Shut up!"

Before Chen Changsheng could finish his sentence, Zi Ning interrupted him angrily.

"This is the Hero's Gathering, where only the Grand Dao competition matters. Don't get sidetracked with other words."

"If you're afraid, just admit defeat."

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at the golden page floating in the air, then at the furious Zi Ning.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Changsheng would definitely avoid such troublesome matters.

A misunderstanding is just that—a misunderstanding!

If I can't provoke you, I can at least avoid you, right?

But now things were different; Chen Changsheng truly wanted to get his hands on the remaining parts of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art.

"Admitting defeat is not an option, because I want that item."

"How about this, you first defeat this girl beside me, then come challenge me."

With that, Gongsun Huaiyu stepped forward proudly and said.

"To deal with a little girl like you, there's no need for my young master to act; I alone am enough."

"Seeing that you have some looks, if you lose, how about becoming a chambermaid for my young master?"

"No problem," Zi Ning gritted her teeth and said, "If you lose, you must leave a bloodline for the Zifu Sacred Ground."

Chen Changsheng: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧

Do young people nowadays really play this big?
