70: You deserve it.

Leng Yue nodded. "Fine."

In truth, there was no need to draw; the final slip was undoubtedly theirs.

Cao Bu did this merely to test the effect of the experience card and see if the qualification for the organizer could be dropped from the sky.

Time ticked by, and it turned out that Cao Bu and Lu Chen were the last ones left to draw.

The experts began to whisper among themselves:

"Interesting. The previous hundreds were all empty, and only two remain. Who do you think will win?"

"It has to be Heavenly Emperor Lu!"

"I agree. For Heavenly Emperor Lu to have Cultivated to this level, his Opportunity and Luck cannot be bad."

Cao Bu and Lu Chen walked up to Elder Jin.

Cao Bu smiled and made a gesture of invitation. "Heavenly Emperor Lu, please."

Lu Chen glanced at him and put on the airs of an expert. "You go first; this Emperor will bring up the rear."

In his view, with his Transmigration and System, he was undoubtedly the Child of Luck. Even if he didn't draw first, the Opportunity would not escape him.

Cao Bu was a villain suppressed by the Heavenly Dao; where would he get any Luck?

The whispering started up again all around.

"As expected of a Heavenly Emperor, his Heart-Nature is truly broad!"

"Heavenly Emperor Lu must know that once he makes a move, it's game over for Cao Bu. A mere lottery box—how could it escape a Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sense?"

"Heavenly Emperor Lu is so strong yet still gives an ant a chance. He's so approachable; it wouldn't make sense if he weren't the Heavenly Emperor."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's lips curled slightly. He said to Cao Bu, "Little friend, the Opportunity this Emperor gives is not something just anyone can obtain."

He snorted coldly in his heart. Suppressing the villain would start right now.

Cao Bu's mouth twitched. This guy really thought of himself as a Heavenly Emperor.

He feigned surprise and cupped his hands. "Then Cao Bu thanks you, Heavenly Emperor."

Changing the subject, he looked up and stared directly at Lu Chen. "However, if I draw the winning slip, Heavenly Emperor, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

Lu Chen felt disdain in his heart, but his expression remained calm. "This Emperor would not stoop to that. If you draw it, then it is your Opportunity. One cannot force an Opportunity."

"In that case, I shall draw." Cao Bu was decisive; he reached into the box, pulled out a slip of paper, and opened it on the spot for the experts and the Wine Emperor to see.

Seeing the character "Win" on the slip, the experts were all stunned into silence.

A cultivator in the Heavenly Bridge Realm had actually won against Heavenly Emperor Lu!

Cao Bu scanned the expressions of the crowd and understood that his gamble had paid off. He immediately said to Lu Chen, "Many thanks, Heavenly Emperor, for the Opportunity."

After saying this, he turned and left without giving Lu Chen so much as a glance.

Lu Chen's face turned livid. He instinctively looked at Qin Bingyao and saw that her expression was also very ugly.

In order to woo Qin Bingyao, he shouted without thinking, "Stop!"

This angry shout drew everyone's attention, and Lu Chen immediately realized his mistake.

Damn it, he forgot he was a fraud!

Stopping him at this moment made him lose all his prestige.

Cao Bu didn't give him time to think of a countermeasure. He turned his head and asked with a smile, "What's this? Is the Heavenly Emperor going back on his word?"

Lu Chen opened his mouth, caught in a dilemma.

Cao Bu continued, "If the Heavenly Emperor is unhappy, either I can draw again, or I can simply gift the organizer qualification to you?"

Lu Chen stared daggers at Cao Bu.

This guy didn't show even a shred of respect. Had he never heard of his legend?

Was he not afraid that this "Heavenly Emperor," in a fit of rage, could crush him to death with a single finger?

"Actually..."

In order to gain Qin Bingyao's favor, Lu Chen gritted his teeth, preparing to agree.

But a cold shout suddenly came from the front left seat: "Enough, Lu Chen! Get down here!"

Qin Bingyao's expression was icy. She had originally been observing Lu Chen with reserve.

With what happened today, how could this be the Heart-Nature a Heavenly Emperor should have?

But thinking of the scene when Lu Chen had acted, she suppressed her displeasure and called Lu Chen back.

Lu Chen clenched his fists. He could clearly feel Qin Bingyao's disappointment.

Damn it, it's all Cao Bu's fault!

Cao Bu glanced at Lu Chen, then turned and cupped his hands toward Qin Bingyao. His tone was respectful and understanding. "Empress Bingyao, please calm your anger. Heavenly Emperor Lu must have been too concerned about the Opportunity of the Heavenly Pride Battle, which is why he lost his composure."

"After all, the position of organizer is of great importance; anyone would be concerned about it."

"However, the Heavenly Emperor previously said that one cannot force an Opportunity. This bearing is truly admirable. Even with this small interlude, it does not affect his prestige."

"For this Junior to obtain this Opportunity today, I must thank the Empress and the Heavenly Emperor for their tolerance. If the Gu Clan can ever be of service to the Empress in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."

Once these words were spoken, the entire crowd looked at Cao Bu with surprise.

Compared to Lu Chen, Cao Bu seemed more like a Heavenly Emperor who had been Cultivating for many years.

Looking back at Lu Chen, his Heart-Nature was far too lacking; he was not at all how a Heavenly Emperor should be.

Hearing Cao Bu say this, and seeing Lu Chen frozen in place, his face turning green and white, Qin Bingyao felt even more disappointment.

Faced with the same Opportunity, although Cao Bu's cultivation was low, he was steady in his Heart-Nature, and his actions and words were flawless.

Lu Chen called himself a Heavenly Emperor, yet he lost his composure over a single slip of paper and even needed her to smooth things over. Where was the steadiness of a top-tier expert?

Her gaze softened as she looked at Cao Bu, and she nodded faintly. "Little Friend Cao, there is no need for such formalities. The Opportunity is yours; it was yours to begin with."
