238 Recruitment

Ling Ran became excited when she heard what Qin Chen said. She patted her chest and promised, “Elder King, don’t worry. I will definitely not tell anyone about your identity.”

Qin Chen nodded and didn’t say anything else. The Chaotic Holy Body unleashed its power, and the power of the Great Path enveloped the room, making it impossible for anyone to probe into it.

After ensuring that his identity would not be exposed, Qin Chen grunted and removed the power of the Great Path that hid his face and aura, revealing his original face.

“It’s you? What are you doing here? How could you be the Elder King? How is this possible?” Upon seeing Qin Chen’s true appearance, Ling Ran was so shocked that she shook her head as she took a few steps back. This was too shocking. To think it was the same as her bold idea before! The Elder King was actually Qin Chen who was known as the useless prince!

Ling Ran was overwhelmed and her mind couldn’t process the information. The truth was too shocking, and she was amazed.

Who would have thought that the 17th Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, who had been labeled as trash, was the most monstrously talented Elder King? The difference between the two was so great, yet they were actually the same person. Who in the entire Canglan Continent could have guessed such a terrifying truth?

“Aren’t you supposed to be in the Taiyi Holy Land? If you’re here, who’s the old servant back there?” Ling Ran asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“The one in the Taiyi Holy Land is my clone,” Qin Chen explained slowly. “The one standing in front of you is my true body. Do you have any other questions?”

Ling Ran had many questions in her heart. Qin Chen was originally a useless Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty. How did he become the Elder King in such a short time? She also wanted to know why he was unwilling to show his true face and instead played the role of the unfathomable Elder King.

There were too many questions, but every one of them involved Qin Chen’s deepest secret. Ling Ran did not want to make things difficult for him, so she didn’t continue asking. Instead, she smiled and said, “I never thought that you would be the Elder King. Thinking back to how I advised you to work hard in your cultivation, it’s really laughable.”

“Ling Ran, you don’t have to think like that. You’ve helped me a lot too. When the whole world was full of malice towards me, you were the only one who was kind to me. Speaking of which, I should be the one to thank you,” Qin Chen said calmly as he recalled the days when he first arrived at the Taiyi Holy Land. Those days were like yesterday, and every scene was still vivid in his mind.

“If I go to Chiyang Heaven, will we still have a chance to meet?” Ling Ran’s eyes were focused as she stared at Qin Chen without blinking. Her eyes were very clear.

Qin Chen’s neck shrank, and his face turned slightly red. He coughed dryly. “Don’t worry. I’ll be going to the nine Heavens soon. I’ll go to the Heavenly Dao Mansion to look for you.”

“Okay! I’ll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Dao Mansion!” As soon as Qin Chen finished speaking, Ling Ran immediately responded. She stared at Qin Chen with her clear eyes, which were full of trust and expectation.

“Okay, I’ll go and look for you,” Qin Chen replied softly.

Ling Ran nodded and flashed a smile. She then returned to her room. As he looked at Ling Ran’s back, Qin Chen’s heart suddenly started to beat violently. His intuition told him that he seemed to have developed a strange feeling for this girl.

Late at night, Qin Chen tossed and turned, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes, Ling Ran’s face would appear in his mind, causing his face to turn red, and it was difficult for him to remain calm.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Qin Chen. He probed, “Who is it?”

The person knocked on the door unhurriedly again, but no one responded. Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed as he thought, “Could it be that Ling Ran is here again?”

He cleared his throat and forced himself to calm down. Then, he got up and opened the door. However, the moment he did so, a terrifying aura suddenly attacked him. Qin Chen was so shocked that he hurriedly retreated. His Chaotic Holy Body was activated and he looked at the person with a face of fear. He exclaimed, “Elder Dao Ming!”

“As expected of the number one human genius in the ten lands. Your talent is shocking and you even have the legendary Chaotic Holy Body. Your talent is limitless!” Looking at Qin Chen, who was wrapped by tens of thousands of paths, Dao Ming exclaimed in admiration. His eyes were full of admiration. A monstrous talent like Qin Chen, even if he could not become a great emperor in the future, would at least reach the quasi-emperor realm. It was difficult to find a second monstrous talent like this in the entire nine Heavens and ten lands.

“Elder Dao Ming, what’s the matter?” Qin Chen asked with a look of apprehension.

Dao Ming closed the door and his Godly aura surged. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the room. Then, he looked at Qin Chen and said in a deep voice, “I want you to follow me to Chiyang Heaven and join the Heavenly Dao Mansion.”

“Join the Heavenly Dao Mansion? Why? I don’t plan on going to the nine Heavens right now.” Qin Chen was confused. He did not understand Dao Ming’s intention.

Dao Ming wasn’t in a hurry. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then said unhurriedly, “Since you say that, I’m sure you already know that Chiyang Heaven and the Heavenly Dao Mansion don’t have very high positions in the nine Heavens. We paid a great price to come to the ten lands in advance this time to bring a monstrous genius like you back and revitalize the Heavenly Dao Mansion and Chiyang Heaven. So, you have to come with us tomorrow.”

“What if I don’t agree?” Qin Chen frowned and looked at Dao Ming with a serious expression. His expression was full of apprehension.

Dao Ming looked deeply at Qin Chen, and the terrifying aura of the God realm burst out from his body. He said in a deep voice, “I said you must come with me. I’m not asking for your opinion.”

“If you forcefully recruit me like this, even if I join the Heavenly Dao Mansion, I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing for the Heavenly Dao Mansion, right?” Qin Chen snorted coldly. His Chaotic Holy Body was slowly activated. If Dao Ming was determined to take him away, he would fight the former to the death.

“Hmph, if I hadn’t considered the consequences of doing so, do you think I would be sitting here and talking? I know you’re a pain in the ass, so just state your conditions!” Dao Ming had already inquired about Qin Chen’s past, so he was very decisive and directly talked about conditions with Qin Chen.

Hearing this, Qin Chen’s guard dropped a little. He smiled and said, “I can join the Heavenly Dao Mansion, but I want the best cultivating spot in the Heavenly Dao Mansion. It would be best if there are great emperor ruins or a unique Heaven and Darth dojo.”

“The Heavenly Dao Mansion has a relic left behind by Supreme Emperor Huang. If you have the guts, you can cultivate there.” Dao Ming did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

When Qin Chen saw that Dao Ming agreed to his request so easily, he was rather surprised. Then, he said, “After Heaven and Earth have been restored, the forbidden grounds of the ten lands will appear. I need to stay in the ten lands for a while before I can head to the Heavenly Dao Mansion.”

“That can’t do. You must return to the Heavenly Dao Mansion with me tomorrow! I can promise you anything else.”
