The comparison video continued to play.
[Facing Dai Tianfeng's grand gesture of goodwill.]
[Tang Chuan slowly set down his wine cup and looked up at Dai Tianfeng, who was smiling eagerly from the main seat. Their eyes met; one was full of enthusiasm, while the other was calm and rippleless.]
[After a long while, Tang Chuan spoke. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.]
["Your Majesty's kind intentions, I, Tang, appreciate."]
["However—"]
[He stood up, enunciating every word clearly.]
["I, Tang, currently have a woman I admire, who is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Young Miss Dugu Yan."]
["I came here today only to take back a Disciple of my Sect."]
["Now that the person has been retrieved, I will not disturb you any further."]
["Farewell."]
[Having said that, he turned and left.]
[Bai He, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and the others all stood up in unison and left their seats with him.]
[Zhu Zhuqing followed quickly, a flash of hesitation and complexity in her eyes.]
[Dai Tianfeng sat in the main seat, his smile not fading in the slightest, though the depth in his eyes grew more intense. He watched Tang Chuan's departing back, slowly raised his wine cup, and drained it in one gulp.]
[Outside the hall, Tang Chuan and his group walked out of the Imperial Palace without anyone blocking them.]
[Not until they were far from the palace gate did Bai He whisper, "Sect Master, this Dai Tianfeng..."]
["He wants to recruit me."]
[Tang Chuan said calmly, "However, since I have already become a Blue Silver Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire, the benefits from the Star Luo Empire are too hot for me to handle."]
["In this World, strength is ultimately supreme; any power or status is merely an appendage of strength."]
["Let's not talk about this for now; let's return to the Sect first and discuss it in the long term."]
[The group walked quickly and disappeared into the alleys of the Star Luo Imperial City.]
[Inside the palace hall, Dai Tianfeng fiddled with the empty wine cup, sighing with emotion.]
["Already has a woman he admires... What a Tang Chuan; he truly values love and righteousness."]
["He was able to refuse the position of my Star Luo Empire's son-in-law, and even the temptation of future territorial enfeoffment."]
["However, I, Dai Tianfeng, have always had a backup plan when doing things."]
["Do you think I had people abduct Zhu Zhuqing just to lure you here?"]
[As he spoke, a playful look flashed across the corner of Dai Tianfeng's mouth.]
["While in the palace, I have already adopted this Zhu Zhuqing as my foster daughter."]
["I can tell that this Zhu Zhuqing has already fallen deeply in love with you."]
["When you return to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, I will have people proclaim this matter with great fanfare."]
["And as long as you and Zhu Zhuqing have a child in the future."]
["I will use the name of a foster grandfather to keep sending gifts, good gifts."]
["At that time, let's see if you accept them or not!"]
[Thinking of this, the corner of Dai Tianfeng's mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.]
["Hahaha!"]
["Hahahaha!"]
White World, Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Cunning! Truly too cunning!"
"This Dai Tianfeng is simply even more cunning than his father!!"
Upon seeing in the comparison video that Dai Tianfeng actually had a backup plan, having adopted Zhu Zhuqing as his foster daughter to try and recruit Tang Chuan through her.
Emperor Xue Ye's expression was ugly; he was so angry that he couldn't help but shout furiously.
Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"Haha! As expected of me!"
"Truly too smart! Too smart indeed!"
Discovering that he in the comparison video had actually adopted Zhu Zhuqing as a foster daughter as a backup plan.
Dai Tianfeng was immediately filled with pride and satisfaction, laughing up at the sky.
He only felt in his heart that his intelligence was truly unparalleled.
Possessing World-shaking wisdom!
World-shaking wisdom indeed!
Blue Tyrant Academy.
'Father, you have sold me out!'
Discovering in the comparison video that his father, Dai Tianfeng, had actually adopted his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, as a foster daughter and even intended to betroth his own fiancée to that Tang Chuan.
In order to show goodwill to that Tang Chuan.
For a moment, Dai Mubai's face turned green, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.
Black World, Blue Tyrant Academy.
At this moment, Tang San's expression was ugly; he couldn't help but clench his fists, his heart filled with jealousy and anger.
Damn it!
Simply detestable!
Why, why can this Tang Chuan receive such treatment!
This Star Luo Empire's Emperor, Dai Tianfeng, in order to show goodwill and recruit Tang Chuan, wanted to marry off a princess and also wanted to grant territorial enfeoffment to recruit Tang Chuan.
Although in name it was for the future child of Tang Chuan and that Dai Yunxi, wasn't it actually for Tang Chuan?
Why, why don't I, Tang Chuan, receive such treatment!
Compared to that Tang Chuan, where exactly am I lacking!
As an ancient Transmigration person from the Bashu Tang Clan, Tang San was undoubtedly a firm feudal warrior.
Regarding Tang Chuan being able to receive such importance and courtesy from Dai Tianfeng, the White Tiger Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, in the comparison video.
Tang San was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
[The journey back to Heaven Dou from the Star Luo Imperial City was surprisingly calm.]
[There were no pursuers, no ambushes, and not even any form of obstruction from the Star Luo side.]
[It was as if Dai Tianfeng really just considered it a misunderstanding; after being rejected by Tang Chuan at the banquet, he merely smiled and watched them leave, taking no other actions.]
[The calmer it was, the more vigilant Tang Chuan felt.]
[But he did not show it, simply leading everyone to travel day and night.]
[Three days later, they finally returned to the Blue Silver Earl's territory, before the mountain gate of the Azure Emperor Sect.]
["The Sect Master is back!"]
[The gatekeeping Disciples saw the group from afar, overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them.]
[The group, dusty from travel, stepped into the Sect. The remaining Disciples and deacons, having already received the news, came out to greet them one after another. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.]
["My Lord, did the trip go smoothly?"]
[Seeing Tang Chuan return, Qin Ming, who had also joined the Azure Emperor Sect, asked with full concern.]
["The person has been retrieved."]
[Tang Chuan said simply, stepping aside to reveal Zhu Zhuqing, who was following behind him.]
[Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and stepped forward, bowing earnestly to everyone.]
["I have caused trouble for the Sect."]
["It is good that Young Miss Zhu is fine, it is good."]
[Tang Chuan said to Bai He, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Ye Zhilan, and the others behind him: "You have all worked hard on this trip. Go back and rest for now; we will gather in the meeting hall in one hour."]
["Yes!"]
[Everyone dispersed.]
[Tang Chuan returned to his courtyard, washed up simply, changed into a clean robe, and walked toward the meeting hall.]
[Inside the hall, Bai He, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Academy Dean, Ye Zhilan, Ling Zhantian, and others were already waiting there.]
[Zhu Zhuqing was also sitting at the end, still lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.]
[Tang Chuan sat down in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and spoke slowly.]
["On this trip to Star Luo, you all did not fear the powerful and were willing to accompany me. I, Tang, thank you here."]
[He stood up and bowed solemnly.]
[In Tang Chuan's view, he founded the Azure Emperor Sect in the hope of obtaining loyal subordinates who would be willing to go through fire and water for him when he needed them, rather than those who came to take advantage.]
[Currently, everyone had undoubtedly passed the test.]
[And for loyal subordinates, Tang Chuan has never been stingy with rewards.]
[Facing Tang Chuan's bow, everyone hurriedly stood up to return the salute.]
[Bai He said, "Sect Master, those words are wrong. Young Miss Zhu is a Disciple of our Sect. If a Sect Disciple is humiliated and we do not stand up for her, what face do we have to establish a Sect in this World?"]
["Exactly!"]
[Niu Gao's voice was like a booming bell.]
["So what if it is the Star Luo Imperial Family? If they dare to come to my Azure Emperor Sect to abduct someone, they must be prepared to have their Imperial Palace overturned!"]
[Although Yang Wudi did not speak, he lightly stroked his beard under his jaw and nodded slightly.]
[In his view, back then, their Four Great Clans were implicated by the selfish and self-centered Clear Sky Sect, ultimately suffering heavy casualties and severe damage to their vitality.]
[Therefore, Tang Chuan was willing to lead them to take action for Zhu Zhuqing, who was just an ordinary Disciple, not hesitating to offend the Star Luo Imperial Family.]
[Such a righteous and sentimental Sect Master would not abandon them like the Clear Sky Sect in the future, treating them as discarded pawns!]
[Tang Chuan looked at everyone, nodding inwardly, feeling very gratified and satisfied.]
[Some of these people were attracted by his potential and prospects, some agreed to join for the Immortal Herb, and some gathered together due to various kinds of Destiny.]
[But at least at this moment, they were willing to stand side by side with him, facing a behemoth like the Star Luo Empire.]
["I have always rewarded merit."]
[Tang Chuan sat down again, waved his hand, and several jade boxes appeared on the table.]
["This time, you all took the risk to accompany me to Star Luo. This sentiment and righteousness, I, Tang Chuan, will keep in my heart. These are rewards for you all."]
[The jade boxes opened, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the entire meeting hall.]
[In the jade box in front of Bai He lay an exotic herb, jade-green throughout, slender and shaped like a Dragon, covered in Dragon patterns, with a head like a Dragon's head—it was exactly the dragon blood grass!]
[In front of Yang Wudi was a Vajra Glazed Ginseng that was shaped like a human, crystalline like gold and jade, yet emitting a golden luster. It could improve physical quality and strengthen the sharpness of the Soul Breaking Spear.]
[Inside the jade box in front of Niu Gao was a tuber, golden throughout and shaped like a sweet potato, with a form also resembling a Dragon, and Dragon patterns faintly visible on the surface.]
[This was the Immortal Herb · Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, an Earth-attribute Immortal Herb. It could significantly improve defense and strength, and might even endow the Spirit with an Earth attribute, allowing the Spirit to obtain Dragon blood and evolve.]
[As for Ye Zhilan and Ling Zhantian, as a couple, there was only one jade box, which also contained a dragon blood grass.]
[And in front of Academy Dean, there was also a dragon blood grass.]
