C4020 Yi Tianren's Probing?
C4020 Yi Tianren's Probing?
Yi Tianren started to chat with the others and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Yi Qianling, who was standing next to him, was unhappy. He dealt with the cultivators of the Immortal level perfunctorily.
In his heart, he was not annoyed by these social events. He just wanted to find out who the masked cultivator was.
However, he did not dare to. After all, the other party was an Immortalis Realm cultivator.
"Grandfather." Yi Qianling whispered.
"Okay, I got it. I'll help you probe him."
"Okay."
After a while, Yi Tianren walked towards Chen Xiao with a smile on his face. At that moment, the gazes of many Immortal Life Stage cultivators present were all attracted by this scene.
"Look, City Lord Yi is?"
"Who is this kid? He actually managed to obtain the recognition of City Lord Yi. He is truly lucky."
"It's Chen Xiao from the Purple Cloud City. It's said that he broke through to the Immortal Realm just after he turned a thousand years old. His talent is astonishing, comparable to a monster."
"So it's him. No wonder. Heh, City Lord Yi, are you trying to rope in this Chen Xiao?"
"Yes, it does seem like it."
Many cultivators of the Immortal Realm discussed in low voices as their gazes faintly stared at Chen Xiao.
Seeing Yi Tianren walk over, Chen Xiao's heart tightened. He slightly cupped his fists and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "City Lord Yi."
"City Lord Yi." Fu Zhenghong nodded.
Yi Tianren was expressionless as he nodded slightly. Then, he looked at Chen Xiao, sized him up, and said indifferently: "You are Chen Xiao?"
"Yes, City Lord Yi. Is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Xiao replied.
Yi Tianren did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He asked, "My disappointing grandson said that you are the masked cultivator who appeared a few days ago? Are you?"
Chen Xiao was startled, then he shook his head and said: "The masked cultivator? Oh, I also heard some rumors. That day, the masked cultivator had a conflict with the Yi Clan's Tribulation Transcender, and his strength was extremely shocking. I don't have that kind of method, so City Lord Yi must have mistaken me for someone else."
"You've mistaken him for someone else? You don't want to admit it?" Yi Tianren stared straight at Chen Xiao and asked again.
Chen Xiao could not help but laugh. He spread out his hands and said, "City Lord Yi, you must be joking. How can I admit to something that I have not done? Or do you want me to admit it?"
Hearing that, Yi Tianren looked at Chen Xiao meaningfully.
"Heh, there's no need to be so nervous. It doesn't matter if it's not true or not. I will never wrongly accuse anyone," Yi Tianren said lightly.
Chen Xiao cupped his fists and said, "City Lord Yi, I admire you."
"By the way, your talent is quite good, and I think very highly of you. Are you interested in coming to my Yi Clan to help me? Don't worry, you will get many benefits, and you can even become an honorary elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect and enjoy many benefits. How about it?"
Suddenly, Yi Tianren changed the topic and tried to recruit Chen Xiao.
"This..."
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to suddenly make such a move and catch him off guard.
He wasn't the only one; even Fu Zhenghong, who was standing to the side, was stunned. That was the nominal elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect. Although he didn't have any real power, he had a lot of preferential treatment.
It was like a stone that caused thousands of waves. The cultivators present all opened their mouths wide in shock and couldn't close them for a while.
"This... City Lord Yi actually personally recruited him and even offered such attractive conditions. This person is so arrogant."
"That's the nominal elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect, and he gave such a good thing just like that. City Lord Yi might not treat this Chen Xiao too well, right? If I were him, I would definitely agree."
"City Lord Yi personally offered to recruit him. How much weight does he have? Is this person really that powerful?"
"He has broken through to the Immortality Stage at such a young age. He is just over a thousand years old. If he doesn't die, he will have a bright future ahead of him. City Lord Yi is trying to win him over. He is so sincere. I am sure he will agree."
"What? He rejected it? That's impossible. What is Chen Xiao thinking? Is there something wrong with his brain? It's simply unbelievable."
"He refused? How, how is this possible? What kind of joke is this? That was City Lord Yi who personally came to greet him, yet he still dared to refuse. Where did he get the courage to do so? Really..."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when the word came out of Chen Xiao's mouth, it also shocked countless cultivators present. Their eyes were wide open and filled with astonishment.
He actually refused, and he even refused Yi Tianren's recruitment right in front of his face.
He was simply too bold, not giving Yi Tianren any face at all. For a moment, the atmosphere was stiff to the extreme.
... ""
Fu Zhenghong opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. He was shocked.
"What? How dare this guy refuse grandfather's invitation? Humph, he's dead."
Yi Qianling clenched his fists in anger when he saw this.
Not far away, the two experts from the Dragon Palace who were standing in a corner were also watching all of this coldly.
Ao Bai sneered and said in a low voice, "This kid is so arrogant. He doesn't know what's good for him. He actually refused Yi Tianren's invitation in front of so many human experts. In this way, he has offended the Yi Family. Humph, that's good. He is courting death. We will have more chances to kill him. After we leave Green Cloud City, humph."
"The Palace Master is right, this person must be killed and avenged for Your Highness."
The expert from the Yao Race standing on the side said.
Yi Tianren paused for a moment and picked his ears. He thought that he had heard wrong and asked again with uncertainty.
"What did you just say? You refused?"
Chen Xiao was expressionless as he nodded his head and said: "Yes, City Lord Yi, you did not mishear me. I am just an ordinary cultivator, and I am used to being undisciplined. If I enter the Immortal Weapon Sect and become a nominal elder, I will have many restrictions, and I will be uncomfortable. At that time, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for City Lord Yi."
Yi Tianren's eyes were cold. "That's the reason?"
"Isn't it enough?"
"Ah, don't you worry, being an honorary elder is just an empty position. You don't need to do anything, it's just an extra title."
Yi Tianren still didn't give up.
This way, Chen Xiao began to wonder what was wrong with the other party. Why did he suddenly want to rope him in and even forcefully drag him in?
There must be something fishy about this.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiao continued, "To be honest, I still can't agree to City Lord Yi's request."
This time, Yi Tianren frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
"Because Lord Redbud treated me like a mountain. I promised him that I wouldn't leave the Purple Cloud City, so I could only reject City Lord Yi's good intentions."
