Chapter 38: Refusing Recruitment
After Lu Chen took the initiative to greet them!
Xue Qinghe gave a light cough and gave Ning Fengzhi a look.
They were here to resolve the conflict, so they shouldn’t let this matter deepen the conflict between them even further.
After receiving Xue Qinghe’s look, Ning Fengzhi said with apparent helplessness:
"Uncle Bone!"
Following Ning Fengzhi’s words, Gu Rong let out a huff, neither too light nor too heavy, and then withdrew his Killing Intent.
He lifted his foot to walk to the side and plopped down onto a chair.
He had already committed Lu Chen’s aura to memory!
Although Lu Chen had used a disguise and that face was definitely fake, his aura could not be faked.
By remembering Lu Chen’s aura today, he would be able to kill him to silence him in the future.
After Gu Rong withdrew his Killing Intent, Lu Chen finally shook off the feeling of being surrounded by malice.
The Killing Intent of a Titled Douluo, even now that Lu Chen had become a Spirit Emperor, still gave him a suffocating feeling.
Unless he used his Blue Silver Domain to resist, he had no good way to cope with it at all.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe stood up, revealing a demeanor of showing respect to the worthy, and said with an apologetic expression:
"Mr. Lan Chen, my teacher and I have come today to mediate the conflict between you and my teacher, so that you won’t have to hide anymore in the future and can openly use your true face and real name to roam the continent."
"Your talent and Aptitude are among the best on the entire continent, which is enough to bring you status, wealth, and honor. Today, I represent the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to invite Mr. Lan Chen to become a consultant for our Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
After hearing this, Lu Chen replied with a blank expression:
"Mediate a conflict? I thought you came to give me a show of force!"
"Presumably, this gentleman just now is one of the two guardian Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the famous Bone Douluo. He is indeed unfathomable and makes one feel awe."
"A conflict! A small person like me, how would I dare to have a conflict with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Your Highness the Crown Prince must have misunderstood."
Xue Qinghe wore an expression that said, "I already know everything," and spoke with a sincere tone:
"Mr. Lan Chen, you don’t need to be filled with Life Qi anymore. Let’s speak plainly."
"You are only around thirty years old, yet you have level 69 spirit power, and you are a Support Soul Master. No matter which power you go to, you will be warmly welcomed."
"But right now, you have to change your appearance and hide your name, not daring to use your true face or real name. This can only mean one thing: you have a conflict with my teacher."
"Today, I represent the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to mediate the conflict between you two and invite Mr. Lan Chen to become a consultant for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
"The rest of your life is still long. Mr. Lan Chen cannot dwell in the past forever. We should look to the future and think more about what’s to come."
Lu Chen finally realized.
So, his disguising his true face was misunderstood by these people as him having a conflict with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Just because he was a Support Soul Master, they all assumed he had been suppressed by Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi, oh Ning Fengzhi!
Your reputation in the Heaven Dou Empire is truly well-known!
It is simply comparable to Duan Zhengchun on Shaoshi Mountain.
On Shaoshi Mountain, when Xuzhu’s mother refused to say who Xuzhu’s father was, everyone looked at Duan Zhengchun.
Now that he, a Support Soul Master, had changed his appearance and hidden his name, he was assumed to have definitely been suppressed by Ning Fengzhi.
One has to say, this Ning Fengzhi’s reputation is quite solid.
Lu Chen fell into silence.
Previously, he didn’t have any conflict with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
But now he did.
With the talent he had displayed, Ning Fengzhi would definitely not let him go; bringing Gu Rong along was proof of that.
Xue Qinghe probably counted on this point too.
If he didn’t listen to Xue Qinghe and join the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to become a consultant for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
He would inevitably face endless secret assassinations from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Anger rose in Lu Chen’s heart. What did these people take him for? A chess piece that could be manipulated at will?
He didn’t want to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and become a chess piece to be driven by others.
With his talent, he would be able to roam the continent freely in the future, and he was not willing to be controlled by others now.
Facing Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, Lu Chen spoke slowly:
"Sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am used to being free and easy, and for the time being, I don’t want to join any power."
"As for the conflict with School Master Ning, you have all misunderstood. There is no conflict between School Master Ning and me."
"A small person like me has never even met School Master Ning before, so how could I have a conflict with him?"
"However, I still thank Your Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness. I have had a very pleasant conversation with Big Brother Dugu, and now we even address each other as brothers. If I happen to encounter trouble, Big Brother Dugu will naturally stand up for me."
Bang!
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Gu Rong slammed the table. His gloomy eyes stared at Lu Chen without blinking, and he spoke with a fake smile:
"Heh! Don’t be ungrateful. We came here today to resolve the conflict because we think highly of you."
"We gave you a choice, so you should accept it properly. You dare to refuse? If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, I really want to kill you, and that Old Poison wouldn’t be able to stop me."
"Don’t think that by latching onto that Old Poison’s leg, you can sit back and relax in the future. If I want to crush you to death, it’s as simple as crushing an ant..."
Hearing Gu Rong’s naked threat, Lu Chen’s face was extremely cold. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with rage.
Again with this!
These Titled Douluo are truly high and mighty!
Tang Hao back then, Gu Rong now, they are all the same. Relying on their powerful strength, they wantonly humiliate others.
Lu Chen thought viciously in his heart:
"I haven’t even taken revenge on the father and son Tang Hao and Tang San, and now, Gu Rong also wants to join in the fun."
"Good, very good. When my strength becomes powerful in the future, I will definitely take revenge on them one by one."
"Strength! Fundamentally, it’s still that my strength is insufficient!"
Just when Lu Chen decided to endure it for the time being.
A powerful aura forcefully burst in from the courtyard outside.
The owner of this aura was none other than Dugu Bo!
Dugu Bo walked in with large strides. His gaze swept over Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, and finally met Gu Rong’s eyes. He stared at the other party with his sinister eyes and said in a cold voice:
"Old Bone, you are taking advantage of my absence to bully the worthy brother I just recognized. This is really not taking me seriously at all."
"I admit that your strength is very strong, but I am definitely not someone to be trifled with. If you want to kill the worthy brother I recognized, you must first get past me."
"You wouldn’t want to see me going to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and poisoning everything everywhere, would you!"
Dugu Bo was also filled with Life Qi.
He didn’t expect that just in the time it took to send his granddaughter to school, others would come to his home to bully him.
These guys ran to his home and bullied his guests. This was not taking him, Dugu Bo, seriously.
Although Dugu Bo only had level 91 spirit power, he was still a dignified Titled Douluo with pride and backbone. It was absolutely impossible for him not to fight back after being bullied.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo still needed to rely on Lu Chen to detoxify himself, so he definitely could not watch Lu Chen get into trouble. Whoever wanted to touch Lu Chen, Dugu Bo would truly fight to the death.
