Chapter 1267 Another Random Lottery
"The position of sect leader?"
"Old woman Li Huo, you really know how to go all out!"
Even the patriarch of the Beiming family, whose face remained perpetually icy, showed a hint of displeasure at this moment.
He stared intently at the sect leader of the Li Huo Divine Sect, his eyes icy cold.
"Ha, words are no proof."
"If you die, it's uncertain whether the sect will still be yours, yet you want to pass it on to outsiders?"
The sect leader of Xuanxiao Sword Sect and Wu Laogui of Wuji Sect also realized what was happening and began to mock them.
"Exactly! Anyone can make empty promises."
"Two little girls, don't let this woman fool you!"
The sect leader of the Li Huo Divine Sect was so enraged that his entire body blazed with flames. He roared, "You old foxes who can't have what you want and are just talking sour grapes! My Li Huo Divine Sect keeps its word, unlike you stingy people!"
A selection competition for top talents.
It turned into a fierce battle for talent where the four top powers publicly tore off their masks!
The prodigies in the stands were all dumbfounded. They never expected that these big shots could lose their composure like this when they were trying to snatch someone away.
As for envy or jealousy, there wasn't any.
They themselves came from distinguished backgrounds, so they weren't jealous of them.
However, there were also many disciples from these four major forces present.
The disciples of these four major powers felt somewhat embarrassed to see their elders arguing in public over who would take someone away from them.
Just as the four were arguing heatedly and were almost about to come to blows,
A calm voice drifted from the highest point of the sky battlefield.
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?"
Not loud.
Yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
In an instant.
The entire Baiyu Square fell silent once again.
The four powerful gods who had been arguing like fighting cocks just moments before suddenly froze, their anger vanishing instantly, replaced by extreme respect and a hint of fear.
They all bowed in reverence to the figure casually seated in the void at the highest point of the sky.
"See you, my lord!"
The prince ignored them.
He simply picked up a cup of tea that had appeared beside him without him noticing and took a small sip.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
“They are all prominent figures, yet here they are scrambling and fighting like vendors in a vegetable market, without any sense of shame.”
As soon as these words came out.
The faces of the four divine emperors immediately turned a deep purplish-red.
They kept their heads down, not daring to even breathe.
In front of this prince, their proud status and strength were utterly insignificant!
The prince put down his teacup, finally shifting his gaze from them to You Ruo and Xie Purou.
His eyes still held that playful look.
"You've practically emptied your coffers, haven't you even thought to ask the young girl if she'd like to become your apprentice?"
The four divine emperors were immediately taken aback.
Yup!
They were so focused on driving up the price that they forgot the most crucial thing!
The prince chuckled softly and stopped looking at them.
His gaze swept back and forth between You Ruo and Xie Purou with great interest.
"My two young friends, I am quite curious."
"With your talent, you must have had a master guiding you all along, right?"
That's a very insightful question!
The moment they revealed the Emperor's decree, countless forces began investigating their backgrounds.
None of the factions had found out much about their backgrounds; all they knew was that the young man beside them was their master.
That's all the information available!
Now, we can use them as a starting point to learn about the background of their master.
If their master were more ordinary, they might be able to snatch them away and make them their disciples!
You Ruo and Xie Purou exchanged a glance.
The corners of their mouths simultaneously curved into remarkably similar, slightly mischievous smiles.
Subsequently.
You Ruo stepped forward and bowed gracefully to the prince in the sky.
Her voice was clear and melodious, and it carried throughout the entire square.
"The prince is joking."
"My junior sister and I do indeed have a master."
No one was surprised to hear them say that.
The sect leader of the Li Huo Divine Sect was still unwilling to give up and hurriedly said, "May I ask which expert you are? Perhaps you are an old acquaintance! We can discuss and teach each other together!"
These words gave others a glimmer of hope.
Yes!
Having another master isn't necessarily a bad thing!
however.
Youruo's next words, however, completely extinguished all their illusions.
She raised her head, her clear eyes sweeping over the four powerful gods whose expressions were constantly changing, before finally settling on the prince.
We appreciate your kindness, seniors.
She paused slightly.
His tone became somewhat subtle.
"However, my master has a rather bad temper."
"If he knew that someone was trying to steal his apprentice..."
At this moment, Xie Purou chimed in, "Hehe, my master might cause you all some trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people present became somewhat awkward. They didn't know anything about the two girls' backgrounds or the identity of their master. If they offended them, who knew what kind of trouble might ensue.
However, the fact that they dared to say that might be enough to show that their master is even more powerful than they thought!
In that case, this farce of accepting apprentices can come to an end.
"That's a pity. It seems we are destined to be apart!" The sect master of Xuanxiao Sword Sect sighed.
"If you would like to visit my Beiming family, you are always welcome!" said the head of the Beiming family.
A farce will end here.
The sect leader and his companions from the Xuanxiao Sword Sect, feeling embarrassed, each made up an excuse and slunk back to the high platform.
Their gazes toward You Ruo and Xie Purou became extremely complex.
There was resentment, there was apprehension, but more than anything, there was regret for missing out on a treasure.
The atmosphere in the entire Baiyu Square had become somewhat strange because of the fierce battle over people that had just taken place.
Everyone's eyes remained glued to You Ruo and Xie Purou, unable to look away.
at this time.
The prince's somewhat lazy voice rang out again.
"Have you seen enough?"
"The show is over, the selection continues."
He waved his hand gently.
hum!
Dozens of golden orbs of light appeared out of thin air in the center of the square, slowly rotating like stars.
Each sphere of light contains a jade token.
"The rules remain the same for the second round."
"Draw lots, duel, winner advances."
As the prince's voice faded, the prodigies who had advanced in the first round all took a deep breath, suppressed their distracting thoughts, and stepped forward.
Boundless, Dustless, Abyssless, Unfettered, and Unscarred—these five members of the royal bloodline lead the way.
Their gazes, however, unanimously bypassed the golden orbs and locked onto You Ruo and Xie Purou behind them.
A fighting spirit burned in their eyes.
In the first round, their performance was so stunning that it completely ignited the pride of these royal prodigies!
