Poaching

Liu Shi didn't rush to answer; instead, she looked at Chen Changqing with a charming expression.

Earlier in the imperial court, she had scoffed at the idea of Liu Ruyan finding External Aids to the Purple Mansion Realm.

But who would have thought that I would only find out later?

This person was none other than Chen Changqing, who was ranked number one on the Azure Dragon List, a name that resounded throughout the Nine Provinces.

Although he is only at the Purple Mansion Realm, his true strength cannot be measured by realm alone.

"Um?"

Seeing Liu Shi looking him up and down without saying a word, Chen Changqing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Her Eldest Imperial Princess."

"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Chen Changqing turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Seeing this, Liu Shi quickly spoke up to stop her.

Chen Changqing paused, turned around and looked at Liu Shi.

Liu Shi broke her silence and went straight to the point:

"Young Master Chen, would you be willing to join my camp?"

Upon hearing what Liu Shi said, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"They really are trying to win me over."

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

He had been puzzled when he saw the Eldest Imperial Princess, Liu Shi, arrive.

He had no connection with her, except for a brief encounter in court yesterday. Why would she come all the way to find him?

Unexpectedly, Liu Shi's purpose was this.

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came back to his senses and said calmly:

"Her Eldest Imperial Princess."

"Haven't you already found a good helper?"

Chen Changqing remembers it very clearly.

The Eldest Imperial Princess, Liu Shi, has put in a lot of effort for this Hundred Dynasties War.

The External Aids they sought was a Nascent Soul expert from the True Martial Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shi's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, before she replied:

"Young Master Chen."

"It's just to get you to join my side."

"It's not necessary for you to come with me to the Hundred Dynasties War."

"You can still stay by Ninth Sister's side and be my inside man."

"How?"

As she spoke, Liu Shilian took two steps closer to Chen Changqing with a charming and alluring manner.

Chen Changqing remained calm and said indifferently:

"But I've already promised..."

Before Chen Changqing could finish speaking, Liu Shi interrupted him:

"Young Master Chen, there's no need to rush to refuse me."

"You didn't even listen to what I could give you."

At this point, Liu Shi paused slightly.

"Oh?"

Chen Changqing was taken aback, and waited quietly for Liu Shi to continue.

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Shi said:

"If Young Master Chen agrees to join my camp..."

"Help me stand out in the Hundred Dynasties War and seize the Imperial Dynasty."

"After the Hundred Dynasties War, I can grant you entry to the Maple Leaf Dynasty Ancestral Land!"

Upon hearing Liu Shi's words, Chen Changqing was taken aback:

"The Maple Leaf Dynasty Ancestral Land?"

Liu Shi smiled slightly and nodded, saying:

"That's right!"

"This place is the foundation of my Maple Leaf Dynasty."

"Entering it allows one to be cleansed by the power of heaven and earth, transforming one's own talents."

"You should know very well that talent is the foundation of Cultivator's practice."

"The stronger one's talent, the faster one's cultivation speed, and the easier it is to break through bottlenecks."

In Liu Shi's view, the reward she offered was already extraordinary.

After all, this can transform one's own talent, which is something that is rare and hard to come by for any Cultivator!

Unfortunately...

If this happened to someone else, they might have already been tempted.

But Liu Shi encountered Chen Changqing.

This made the transformation of his talent seem like a useless thing to Chen Changqing.

It possesses AFK Cultivation System, so it doesn't need to cultivate diligently on its own.

Why have such strong talent?

Before that, after entering the Inner Sect of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land, he spent his days sleeping and sunbathing, and occasionally walking his dog in his spare time.

Cultivation? Cultivate what?

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came to his senses and looked calmly at the Eldest Imperial Princess, Liu Shi:

"I'm sorry, Your Eldest Imperial Princess!"

"I'm content with the status quo, and things are fine as they are now."

"Besides... if the Eldest Imperial Princess finds out what you've done, Ninth Imperial Princess, wouldn't it affect the relationship between you sisters?"

Upon seeing Chen Changqing's refusal, the smile on Liu Shi's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

"You..."

"Snort!"

Liu Shi snorted coldly, feeling that Chen Changqing was being rather ungrateful.

She personally visited and offered such favorable terms.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Changqing still rejected her.

Then, Liu Shi glared coldly at Chen Changqing before storming off.

Originally, she only came to win Chen Changqing over because he was ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking.

Who knew Chen Changqing would be so clueless? Well then, she wouldn't hold back!

Watching Liu Shi leave in Qi Ingestion, Chen Changqing didn't pay much attention and quietly sighed:

"The Wang Family is the most ruthless of all!"

"They're actively trying to poach talent from other people's homes."

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Liu Ruyan hurrying towards Chen Changqing.

"Changqing Brother Changqing!"

What does my older sister want with you?

As they approached, Liu Ruyan spoke first, her expression full of urgency.

She just saw Liu Shi leave in a huff.

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's question, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

It's nothing.

"She's just trying to win me over and get me into her camp."

"Help her win the Hundred Dynasties War and obtain the throne of the Maple Leaf Dynasty."

After hearing what Chen Changqing said, Liu Ruyan was greatly shocked:

"What?"

Soon, his face turned red with anger.

"Hateful!"

"Isn't this going too far, sister?"

They've even started trying to poach my employees.

Liu Ruyan spoke out angrily, her heart filled with resentment that she could not calm down for a long time.

Although she had made this guess before.

But when I actually found out, I was still furious.

After calming down for a moment, Liu Ruyan turned her beautiful eyes and looked directly at Chen Changqing, probing for his answer:

"Junior brother."

"So... what do you mean?"

Seeing Liu Ruyan cautiously testing him, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and joked:

"Senior Sister Ruyan."

"I have remained chaste for you!"

"Of course, I refused Her Highness the Eldest Imperial Princess!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and she was caught completely off guard.

After all, in her impression, Chen Changqing was an extremely serious person.

But now he's saying such things.

After a slight pause, a blush immediately appeared on Liu Ruyan's face, clearly embarrassed.

"Loquacious!"

She lowered her head and replied.

Deep down, I'm still very happy.

He also knew that his elder sister, Liu Shi, must have offered very good terms in order to win over Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing refused, which warmed Liu Ruyan's heart.

Just then, a servant rushed over, bowed deeply, and said:

"Your Highness Ninth Imperial Princess."

"The Second Imperial Princess has arrived and requests an audience with Young Master Chen!"
