357: Poor Lu Chen became a worker

“You Huang Venerable is right. So many Great Emperors present didn’t see any flaws, yet you claim the projection stone in front of us is fake?”

“Don’t you think what you’re saying is ridiculous? Or do you think all of us Great Emperors here are useless?”

The Puppet Great Emperor said.

“Indeed, in the entire Tianxuan Continent, very few can cause trouble right under my nose!”

“What you’re saying, isn’t that an insult to these eyes I’ve used for so many years?”

The Divine Eye Great Emperor’s expression was also somewhat displeased. This Lu Chen was truly a fool, provoking them in front of so many people!

“Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding. I believe Lu Chen was simply overwhelmed by anger for a moment, which is why he spoke such irrational words!”

Dan Xuzi quickly smoothed things over, because Lu Chen’s words had caused many Great Emperors present to become somewhat displeased.

Among them, there were a few with fiery tempers, and it would be bad if Qingling Holy Land got implicated because of this matter.

After Dan Xuzi’s mediation, the Great Emperors present finally calmed down a little.

“Impossible… impossible! It was clearly you!”

Lu Chen collapsed to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, yet he still stared intently at Su Xuan, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.

His voice was already hoarse, carrying a desperate madness, giving off a feeling of wanting to drag everyone down with him.

“No, buddy, so many Great Emperors present have said that this has nothing to do with me…”

“Damn it, you’re still blaming me now? Is there something wrong with your brain? No wonder Susu doesn’t fancy you!”

Su Xuan was a bit speechless. Although he really did do it, as long as there was no evidence, it wasn’t his business!

Poor Lu Chen, what if he had a System? What if he had so many cheats? He was still being led around in circles by him.

“Hehe, I really don’t know what those villains in novels are thinking. Even if the protagonists have a System, you’ve been Cultivating for so long, isn’t it easy to deal with an unformed protagonist?”

Su Xuan couldn’t help but complain.

Yun Zhentian looked at Lu Chen on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed, his heart filled with disappointment.

He had thought Lu Chen could produce some strong evidence, allowing him to use the opportunity to make things difficult for Su Xuan, but now it seemed it was just a farce. He had truly hoped in vain!

“Useless! Truly useless! I thought Luo Qingxue had trained some kind of Disciple! I didn’t expect him to be such a piece of garbage!”

Yun Zhentian mentally cursed Lu Chen’s ancestors for eighteen generations before he felt slightly relieved.

“Alright, since the truth has come out, our Qingling Holy Land has wronged Young Master Su in this matter!”

“I represent our Qingling Holy Land in apologizing to Young Master Su! I wonder if Young Master Su is satisfied with this outcome?”

Dan Xuzi said.

“Alright!”

One should be lenient when possible; he had already gained an advantage, so it was natural to know when to stop!

Seeing this, Dan Xuzi immediately handed a Storage Ring filled with Cultivation resources to Su Xuan.

On the other side, the ashen-faced Lu Chen was led away like a stray dog, but Yun Zhentian wouldn’t let him off so easily.

“Lu Chen, you destroyed my Pill Furnace. I will slowly settle this score with you!”

Yun Zhentian sneered.

Things had already progressed to this point, and Luo Qingxue still hadn't shown up. Didn't that mean Luo Qingxue had truly given up on Lu Chen?

Not only that, Luo Qingxue hadn’t shown her face during this period. Perhaps Luo Qingxue herself had encountered some problem, which was why she dared not show up!

“Perhaps I can take this opportunity to find trouble with Luo Qingxue. I’ve been annoyed with that bitch for a long time!”

Yun Zhentian thought to himself.

Years ago, he and Luo Qingxue had always been at odds because he had pursued Luo Qingxue before, but she had rejected him.

Since then, Yun Zhentian had harbored some resentment towards Luo Qingxue.

Now, Luo Qingxue might have some problems, which was a good opportunity for him to control her!

However, he didn’t dare to gamble, so this idea could only be given up for now. He would deal with Lu Chen first!

“Hehehehe, Lu Chen is, after all, a good Disciple you personally trained. No matter how little you care, or how much conflict you have, you’ll still feel bad if I treat him like this, won’t you?”

Yun Zhentian thought to himself.

“Yun Emperor… I will compensate you for the Pill Furnace…”

Lu Chen spoke weakly, like a deflated balloon.

“Compensate? Can you afford to compensate? That’s a treasure comparable to a top-grade Holy Weapon! You just blew it up? What will you use to compensate? Kid?”

Yun Zhentian smiled wickedly.

“Work for me for a hundred years, and after a hundred years, I’ll let you go! How about it?”

Yun Zhentian said with a wicked smile.

“A hundred years?”

Lu Chen was stunned. With his talent, he would definitely become an Emperor in a hundred years, and with the System, it would only take less than ten years, or even one or two years.

Now, he actually had to work for Yun Zhentian for a hundred years. Wouldn’t that make him almost a cripple?

However, Lu Chen no longer had the right to choose. Luo Qingxue had abandoned him, and now Luo Qingxue herself was in trouble. Facing Yun Zhentian’s bullying, he was helpless.

“Host, don’t panic. As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. As long as the Host completes the System’s Missions, this System can undo all these shackles for you in the future!”

The Mission System was also a bit disdainful. It had thought it encountered a top-tier Host, but it turned out this ‘top-tier’ was a top-tier in another sense.

It never expected that after binding with Lu Chen, so many unlucky things would happen!

When others encounter a System, they soar to the sky and directly reach the Peak of their lives, while it was leading Lu Chen into a ditch!

“I hope so…”

Hearing the System’s words, Lu Chen’s heart felt a little better.

He still had the System. As long as he completed the Missions issued by the System, he could completely extricate himself.

They say that protagonists in novels can’t suffer any losses, because they would be cursed to death by readers. Lu Chen just considered himself a protagonist written by an unpopular, third-rate novelist!

“I agree, Yun Emperor…”

Lu Chen immediately agreed.

Hearing this, Yun Zhentian was a bit stunned. He had thought Lu Chen would struggle a bit, perhaps trying to contact Luo Qingxue.

He didn’t expect Lu Chen to agree immediately. From the looks of it, Luo Qingxue and Lu Chen really weren't on good terms anymore!

No… perhaps, something unexpected might even have happened to Luo Qingxue herself!
