Chapter 47

The news of Chen Bowen being rejected by Su Rong did not cause much of a stir. To everyone, Su Rong was like a swan, high above, and it was normal for her to reject any man.

Of course, the duel between Shaguo and Yaoguo also took place as scheduled, causing a great commotion throughout Yaocity.

Ye Chu was unaware of all this. In Bai Xuan's residence, he spent his days researching the unique Red Slaughter text and living comfortably with Bai Xuan and Yao Yao, so much so that he was reluctant to leave, feeling as if he had forgotten his homeland.

"Ye Chu! Something big has happened!" Just as Ye Chu was lying in a rocking chair and flipping through the Red Slaughter text, Liang Shan's urgent call reached him. He ran up to Ye Chu, out of breath, and to Ye Chu's surprise, Pang Shao was also following behind him.

"What big thing? Did you two get syphilis?" Ye Chu, seeing that they were unharmed, couldn't help but laugh.

Liang Shan shook his head and said, "Come with us! You'll know when you get there!"

Pang Shao and Liang Shan walked forward, one on each side, pulling Ye Chu up from the rocking chair and dragging him outside.

"Alright, I'll walk myself!" Ye Chu shook off their hands, "If you get too close, others will think I'm as bad as you!"

"..." Liang Shan and Pang Shao, walking beside Ye Chu, almost slipped and fell when they heard this, "In Yaocity, everyone knows who the scoundrels are. We even think standing with you will make us lose face!"

"That's because the world is full of fools, but I am clear! The world can't see my excellence, so they can only insult me with words, which is fundamentally different from you!" Ye Chu laughed, "But seeing you two so anxious, what's really going on?"

"Your secret crush, Su Rong, is about to be taken away!" Liang Shan said, "If you stay at home, you'll have nowhere to cry later!"

"Hmm?" Ye Chu laughed, "Who in Yaocity would dare to take her?"

As the adopted daughter of the king, who would dare to take her, having the courage of a leopard?

Liang Shan said, "The Shaguo cultivators proposed that this duel be for a city and Su Rong as the stakes, and the king actually agreed!"

Pang Shao, excited, added, "I also noticed that the cultivator who beat me last time was from Shaguo. Those maids were really something, why don't you go and win one back?"

Hearing this, Ye Chu finally understood what was happening, rolling his eyes and saying, "What are you worried about? Yaocity isn't short of cultivators, isn't Chen Bowen very strong?"

Liang Shan, seeing that Ye Chu was about to head back, quickly pulled him, "You can't let Chen Bowen take all the glory! You're not weak either, you defeated Ding Kaiwei, show them your strength, and make us who followed you proud!"

"Not interested!" Ye Chu said.

Pang Shao quickly pulled Ye Chu, "No, no! I don't know who Chen Bowen is, but the cultivator who beat me wasn't weak. Are you sure Yaocity is safe? Shaguo wouldn't dare come if they didn't have some skills. Even if you don't want to participate, you should at least go and see! Tsk, tsk, Su Rong is your dream girl, can you just watch her be taken away?"

Pang Shao knew from Liang Shan that Ye Chu had a crush on Su Rong. When he first heard this, Pang Shao didn't hold back his ridicule, thinking it explained why Ye Chu saved Zhang Suo'er back then.

"Besides, how can such a beautiful woman fall into the hands of those Shaguo scoundrels! Hehe, among the three of us, who isn't more handsome than them! Especially you, if you don't show up at the duel, how will others know there's such a handsome man in the world!" Pang Shao said, knowing what would appeal to Ye Chu, even though he found it disgusting to say it!

Ye Chu agreed with this, thinking no one in the world could match his handsomeness.

"You have a point! I'll go with you then!" Ye Chu couldn't refuse now, as the two were dragging him to the city wall.

When Ye Chu arrived at the city wall, it was already crowded. Pang Shao, using his bulk, pushed his way to the front row.

Once at the front, many people recognized Pang Shao and made way for him, allowing Ye Chu and the others to move forward without obstruction!

"Ye Chu!" As Pang Shao was about to move to the very front, a voice made Ye Chu turn back. He saw Prime Minister Su Zhengping waving at him, gesturing for him to come over.

Seeing that Pang Shao was already heading towards the area with more women, Ye Chu looked at him with disdain but didn't hold him back, and walked with Liang Shan towards Su Zhengping.

At Su Zhengping's location, there were many familiar faces. Su Rong and Zhang Suo'er were naturally there, as was Chen Bowen. What surprised Ye Chu the most was that his older brothers Ye Tian and Ye Chao from the Ye family in Yaocity were also there, along with his uncle Ye Li.

Ye Li, seeing Ye Chu, frowned slightly, showing a hint of disgust. This made Ye Chu, who was about to greet him, stop in his tracks, smiling: if the other party despised him, why should he go and make himself look foolish!

Only Ye Tian nodded at Ye Chu, his gaze not particularly warm, but at least he didn't act as if he didn't know him.

Seeing Ye Tian take the initiative to greet him, Ye Chu was somewhat taken aback, a warm feeling rising in his heart! He had to admit that although he and Ye Tian didn't have a deep relationship, Ye Tian had fulfilled his duties as an older brother when they were in the Ye family. Whenever he got something good, he would leave a share for his two younger brothers! Even though he was frustrated with Ye Chu and didn't speak to him, he never forgot to give Ye Chu his share of the good things!

"I didn't expect you to come and join the commotion!" Su Zhengping smiled at Ye Chu, "Are you interested in participating in the duel?"

Su Zhengping knew that Ye Chu had reached the Transformation Realm and was a capable cultivator. If he could contribute to the kingdom, it would increase their chances of success.

"I'm just here to watch the commotion, dragged along by others! I have no interest in participating in the duel!" Ye Chu smiled, his gaze involuntarily turning to Su Rong, "I heard you are the stake in this duel? Aren't you afraid that Yaoguo will lose and you'll be taken as a concubine?"

"Yaoguo won't lose!" Su Rong said, "The cultivators of Yaoguo will surely defeat them!"

"Confidence is good! But there's something I forgot to tell you! Before this, Pang Shao fought a Shaguo cultivator and lost, getting beaten up badly." Ye Chu reminded them, trying to temper their confidence.

Sure enough, after he said this, Su Zhengping and Ye Li's expressions changed. Su Zhengping stared at Ye Chu, "Is this true?"

"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?" Ye Chu shrugged.

Su Zhengping's expression turned serious. Although he wasn't very clear about Pang Shao's strength, he knew it was considerable. From the information he had, Pang Shao had once gone to the Thirty-Six Caves to win a concubine, and it was said that he didn't rely on his family background but went with a group of young people.

If Pang Shao dared to go and returned unscathed, his strength was definitely not to be underestimated. But he lost to a Shaguo cultivator, did it mean that there was a strong cultivator among the younger generation of Shaguo?

However, according to the information he had, the strongest among the younger generation of Shaguo was only at the Fifth Level of the Transformation Realm, and none had reached the Upper Level of the Transformation Realm!

Su Zhengping reined in his emotions and looked at Chen Bowen and Ye Tian, "You two, don't underestimate them! When you go up, be cautious!"
