Recruit Me?

After arriving in front of his Cave Mansion, Su Zhan furrowed his brow as he remembered something. He then waved his hand, and a stack of IOUs appeared.

"Prince Cheng Yunmo of the Yuan Kingdom, Xie Chen of the Yunlan Sect in the Zheng Kingdom... If I'm not mistaken, it has been a long time since their journey to the Dark Star Forest ended. It should have been enough time for them to refine their Star Element Fruits and then come to the Yuntian Sword Sect, right?

If they still haven't come, could it be that they are trying to avoid paying their debts?"

His gaze swept over the names of influential people who could make many people bow in the outside world, and Su Zhan felt a headache coming on.

If they are trying to avoid settling their debts, should I personally go to each of them to collect?

This is really a headache.

He sighed and entered his Cave Mansion.

The journey to the Dark Star Forest not only allowed him to attain the Sun God and Starlight Divine Body, but he also obtained many herbs and treasures from Ye Yunxuan and the other geniuses.

Now is the right time to refine these herbs and cultivate.

As Su Zhan swallowed a pill and began to refine and cultivate, Prince Xia Qitian's carriage arrived at the foot of Baiyun Peak.

"Who is that? So bold, riding a carriage at the foot of Baiyun Peak!"

"But the guards are very strong! They must be important people!"

"Don't you recognize the Royal Scarlet Feather Horses they're using? It's clearly someone from the royal family!"

"Someone who can use four Royal Scarlet Feather Horses... it's a prince! His Royal Highness!"

When someone recognized the carriage, a commotion immediately erupted among the curious disciples watching nearby.

"His Royal Highness! The future King Xia!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly noble. Why did he come here?"

"Your Highness, he..."

"Silence!"

The Butler of the Eastern Palace coldly uttered two words, and the true qi power made his voice explode like thunder above the inner disciples!

Suddenly, all the inner disciples were filled with fear and took two steps back.

"Your Highness, Su Zhan still hasn't arrived."

Glancing at the stone path leading to Baiyun Peak, the Butler of the Eastern Palace calmly reported.

"Su Zhan truly disappoints this palace!"

A voice filled with anger echoed.

The expression of the Butler of the Eastern Palace changed, and he knelt beside the carriage curtain, feeling anxious.

Even though he had reached the Late Stage of the Core Yuan Realm, in front of Xia Qitian, life and death were just a matter of one word!

"Clatter!"

The carriage curtain opened.

Xia Qitian stepped out of the carriage, glancing at the inner disciples, then raised his head slightly to look at Baiyun Peak.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This palace underestimates Su Zhan's arrogance! Fine! This palace wants to see what qualifications he, a disciple of the Yuntian Sword Sect, has to behave like this in front of this palace!"

"Butler Qi, rise. This matter has nothing to do with you. This palace won't vent its anger on you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity!"

The Butler of the Eastern Palace, Qi Lie, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and rose from the ground, respectfully saying, "Your Highness, Su Zhan is truly too arrogant! He lacks manners! Wait a moment, and this old servant will surely teach him on behalf of Your Highness!"

"Mhmm."

Prince Xia Qitian nodded, his face filled with coldness. "Let's go! Let me have a good meeting with Su Zhan!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The formation on Baiyun Peak was only meant to isolate the inner disciples from the true disciples, so it meant nothing to Qi Lie, a powerful cultivator at the Late Stage of the Core Yuan Realm.

As Qi Lie prepared to forcefully break through the formation and enter, Chen Changfeng arrived.

"Qi Lie, Prince, I don't care about your reasons, but Su Zhan must not be harmed, understand?"

Chen Changfeng landed in front of them, his footsteps stirring a gentle breeze, his voice cold.

Prince Xia Qitian narrowed his eyes. "Is Elder Chen declaring war against our royal family?"

"Declaring war?"

Chen Changfeng didn't care and said calmly, "You should be grateful I arrived in time. Otherwise, if you let the dog beside you kill Su Zhan—"

The tone of Chen Changfeng's voice grew colder, he looked at Xia Qitian and emphasized each word, "You will die!"

"Bold! How dare you threaten—"

"Silence!"

Qi Lie was about to rebuke Chen Changfeng, but he felt the pressure emanating from Chen Changfeng and was filled with fear. He dared not continue his words.

How annoying!

I thought Su Zhan would be grateful to me, and then I would naturally recruit him!

I didn't expect to come this far!

If I had known, I would have brought a powerful expert from my father's side so I wouldn't be stopped by Chen Changfeng like this!

Xia Qitian thought angrily, but at the moment, he had no other choice. He took a step back and said, "Elder Chen, are you too impulsive? This palace only heard that Su Zhan is very talented and came to visit!"

"In that case, Prince, please come up!"

Chen Changfeng smiled. "As for the prince's dog, there's no need for him to come."

Qi Lie clenched his fists, full of anger. However, he also knew that there was a huge gap between him and Chen Changfeng, who was said to have reached the half-step God Transformation Realm, so he restrained himself.

Prince Xia Qitian fell silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright, I will visit Su Zhan myself!"

"Your Highness, you alone—"

"Don't worry!"

Prince Xia Qitian glanced at Chen Changfeng and raised his voice. "Who am I? Within the Yuntian Sword Sect, no one dares to harm me. Otherwise, they will seek death! Elder Chen, lead the way!"

"Very well."

Chen Changfeng did not argue further. He opened the formation on Baiyun Peak and led Prince Xia Qitian towards Su Zhan's residence.

Shortly after, they arrived at Cave Mansion No. 17.

"Su Zhan, the prince has arrived. Will you see him or not?"

Chen Changfeng's voice echoed.

The door to the residence quickly opened.

Su Zhan glanced at Xia Qitian, who was wearing a bright yellow robe and had a cold and arrogant expression. He said calmly, "Since you're here, let's meet!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the residence.

This scene made Xia Qitian even angrier.

As a prince, he wasn't even greeted politely by Su Zhan?

How audacious!

Xia Qitian took a deep breath and said to Chen Changfeng, "I will meet Su Zhan. Elder Chen, you don't need to come in, right?"

"Alright. I'm also worried that your dog will cause trouble, so I'll stay here and keep an eye on him."

Chen Changfeng smiled, then turned and left.

Xia Qitian only possessed streght at the peak of the Barrier Master realm and posed no threat to Su Zhan. Therefore, he wasn't worried about anything that might happen.

Stepping forward, as he was about to enter the residence, Xia Qitian suddenly saw a crumpled piece of paper discarded on the ground by Su Zhan. He recognized it as a special envelope used by the Eastern Palace. His face immediately darkened.

Entering the residence, Xia Qitian's gaze fell upon Su Zhan, who was sitting on a stone bench in the front yard. Xia Qitian said, "Brother Su, you are truly remarkable! This palace has tried many times to invite you, but you have completely ignored all the invitations. I truly admire you!"

Su Zhan said, "Prince, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste my time for cultivation."

Seeing Su Zhan's indifferent attitude, Xia Qitian grew even angrier. However, he reminded himself that the purpose of this visit was to recruit Su Zhan, and even if he wanted Qi Lie to teach him a lesson, it was only a plan to use kindness and strength. So he forcefully suppressed his anger.

"Su Zhan, because of that, let me get straight to the point!"

Xia Qitian took a step forward and said, "I am the prince of the Xia Nation, and I greatly admire you. I want to recruit you!"
