Chapter 168 Showing power in front of others
The corner of Zhou Sichen's mouth raised slightly, revealing a somewhat teasing smile, and said: "Mr. It’s too complicated and misinterprets my meaning.”
This smile seemed relaxed, but there was a hint of unnoticeable scrutiny in his eyes.
Looking at Zhou Sichen's appearance, Mr. Xuan shook his head helplessly, with a doting smile on his face, as if he were looking at a naughty but so smart child:
"You are indeed extremely smart. Since you have guessed the truth of the matter, there is no need for me to hide it from you anymore."
Mr. Xuan paused, and his eyes became soft and full of expectation: "This marriage is actually a road paved for you by Mr. Mu in advance, and it is a key step among many choices. Don't underestimate Princess Jiujiu, her Talents are rare to find in a century. If you two work together, you will never wrong each other. Instead, you can complement each other and achieve great things."
On the side, Xu Jiawei, the Emperor of Xingluo and the elder brother of Xu Jiujiu, had a deep look in his eyes and silently nodded in agreement.
To others, it seemed a little unreasonable for him to approve his sister's marriage so easily.
However, only he knew how powerful and potential Zhou Sichen possessed.
If he hadn't been fully aware of Zhou Sichen's horror, how could he have easily pushed his own sister out as a bargaining chip for marriage, given his character as an emperor who was known for his iron-bloodedness and was unrivaled in the Star Luo Empire?
He stood aside for a long time, his beautiful eyes moving, taking in all the expressions of everyone.
She secretly murmured in her heart, could there be some shady deed hidden behind this seemingly simple marriage?
For a moment, her eyes turned cold and she stared closely at her brother, the usually aloof imperial brother and His Majesty of the Star Luo Empire, without saying a word, quietly waiting for the other party to give a reasonable explanation.
Zhou Sichen noticed Jiujiu's gaze, sighed softly, with a helpless expression, and said: "But to be honest, I already have many confidantes around me. If Princess Jiujiu really marries me, I'm afraid I can't Treat her as a princess. If she really gets married, she will inevitably suffer some injustice and remain humble among them."
Zhou Sichen's tone was frank, without any concealment or pretense.
After hearing this for a long time, his eyebrows instantly rose, and a trace of unnoticeable anger flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a hint of inquiry: "The senior is honest and can let me humble myself and be a junior. I'm afraid he is the daughter of the outstanding talents among the Shrek regular team members this time, right? ”
Zhou Sichen looked at it for a long time, without any hesitation, and admitted openly: "Exactly. Therefore, in order to prevent the princess from getting into an embarrassing situation in the future, I still have to inform these prerequisites clearly in advance."
Although Xu Jiujiu felt a bit sour and a little unhappy in her heart, she had been influenced by royal etiquette since childhood and was extremely well-educated, so she did not show these emotions.
She just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a seemingly gentle smile, and said: "Your Majesty has already said so, how can I dare to disobey His Majesty's golden words?"
Although he said so, there was a trace of unspeakable complex emotions hidden under that smile.
Xu Jiawei naturally saw his sister's displeasure. He knew his sister too well.
But he was not in a hurry. In his opinion, as long as his sister knew Zhou Sichen's true strength and future potential, she would never mind having a few confidantes around such an amazing talent.
Of course, he also understood that there was something wrong with using his sister as a political bargaining chip.
But this was also the result of his prior discussion with Xu Jiujiu. Although he did not tell her the entire truth of the matter, he obtained her consent before arranging for the two of them to have contact first.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Mr. Cooperation should be carried out in secret first and proceed step by step. ”
Xu Jiawei agreed without hesitation: "This is the best. This matter concerns the future of both countries, so it is better to be cautious."
Zhou Sichen and Xu Jiujiu glanced at each other subconsciously. Their eyes met in the air, and they both saw a deep look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
If we talk about first impressions alone, for the two of them, they naturally have a good feeling about each other.
Zhou Sichen is handsome and unrestrained, with an extraordinary temperament and unfathomable strength; while Xu Jiujiu is gentle, charming, dignified and generous, and has unparalleled talent.
But Zhou Sichen had never had those thoughts about Xu Jiujiu. After all, as he said, he already had enough confidantes around him, and his energy and mind were occupied by many other matters.
Moreover, his subsequent cultivation path will only become more difficult, and time will become increasingly tight. He can't even guarantee the time to accompany his current confidante, let alone develop new relationships.
It's just that this incident happened too suddenly, catching Zhou Sichen completely off guard.
When it comes to who to blame, Zhou Sichen also knows in his heart that whether it is Mr. Mu or Mr. Xuan, their original intention is for his own good.
Moreover, what surprised Zhou Sichen the most was that Mr. Mu was actually willing to help him and plan his future after guessing some of his deepest thoughts.
Even if there is some personal selfishness in Mr. Mu's decision-making, it has no substantial negative impact on Zhou Sichen, which is why Zhou Sichen can only feel helpless about it.
After all, they were sincerely considering him, so how could he blame him?
And Xu Jiujiu's mood at this moment was roughly the same as Zhou Sichen's.
Before, she had only glanced at Zhou Sichen from a distance in the rest area. At that time, Zhou Sichen was already particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
Later, under the introduction of Mr. Xuan, she became more curious and interested in Zhou Sichen. She thought that she had reached the age of marriage and it would be okay to get to know him. Even if there was no result, there would be no loss.
But now, things are developing too fast, and marriage has directly come to the fore.
The key is that although the man in front of her showed a certain degree of honesty, he bluntly stated that she might be in a subordinate position after marrying her.
Even though Xu Jiujiu was usually gentle and had a good temper, at the moment his heart was full of helplessness and depression.
But she still maintained the demeanor of a royal princess, with a decent smile on her face, and did not get angry at Zhou Sichen.
Of course, if Zhou Sichen hadn't matched her perfectly in terms of appearance, talent, and status, and was even better in some aspects, she would have said unceremoniously, "I don't know what's good or bad."
Zhou Sichen looked at the slightly tense atmosphere and broke the deadlock: "Then the matter was settled so hastily?"
Xu Jiawei looked serious, nodded solemnly, and said: "This is not a hasty decision, but I made it after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons."
"Sichen, this is the first time I have made such a bold decision since I took the throne. I have put all my money on you. I hope you will not disappoint me or the Star Luo Empire in the future. ”
Hearing Xu Jiawei affectionately call himself "Sichen", Zhou Sichen smiled and said: "In that case, I will inherit your majesty's friendship here. Your investment in me today will definitely make me happy in the future." Repay each other and never break your promise.”
When Xu Jiawei heard this, he looked at Mr. Xuan. Their eyes met, they understood each other, and they laughed silently.
Because of Zhou Sichen's appearance, the older generation of conservatives in Shrek Academy began to be gradually infected by his courage and potential and became bold.
After all, in addition to the dazzling star Zhou Sichen, he also brought out a group of equally talented young people such as Ye Guyi, Ma Xiaotao, and Cao Jinxuan.
No matter what the future results are, with such a group of young people full of energy and potential, their future will not be too bad after all, originally from Douluo Continent.
I watched the interaction between people for a long time, and my heart was full of doubts.
She pouted and said in a coquettish but firm tone: "Although I don't know what you are plotting, I can probably guess something. As a party to the marriage, shouldn't I be qualified to know the inside story? ?" At this moment, she felt relieved, and more curious, wanting to see what kind of bargaining chips would allow her brother to make such a major decision.
As soon as Xu Jiawei said these words, Xu Jiawei's eyes immediately turned to Zhou Sichen, his eyes full of expectation.
He also hoped that Zhou Sichen could take this opportunity to show his strength to his sister so that she would have more understanding and recognition of the marriage.
At the same time, he is also looking forward to what Zhou Sichen is about to show.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Xuan promptly reminded: "There are only four of us here, and we are all our own people. Sichen, we should also show His Majesty our sincerity, so that he and Princess Jiujiu can have a clear understanding."
Zhou Sichen nodded, knowing in his heart that it was time to give Xu Jiawei a reassurance.
He slowly raised his right hand, his movements were elegant and steady, and accompanied by a burst of light golden light slowly surging like water waves, a bright golden contract book seemed to slowly emerge from the mysterious depths of time and space.
The book of contract exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and the runes on it shimmered, as if telling unknown secrets.
At the same time, five soul rings, four black and one red, suddenly appeared on Zhou Sichen's body. Each soul ring exuded a unique light and powerful soul power fluctuations.
The terrifying soul power pressure, like surging waves, instantly filled the entire hall.
Especially the bright red 100,000-year-old soul ring, on which the terrifying aura unique to a 100,000-year-old soul beast rushed towards his face like a substantial red flame.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Even Xu Jiawei, a battle-hardened and powerful titled Douluo, couldn't help but suddenly shrink his pupils under the impact of this aura, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
It’s exactly what Mr. Xuan said! Xu Jiawei sighed in his heart, the young man in front of him was far more terrifying than he imagined.
The thirteen-year-old Soul King is a symbol of extraordinary talent, and the current configuration of four black and one red soul rings is unheard of and unseen.
This further strengthened Xu Jiawei's determination to "get on the bus". He firmly believed that his decision would definitely change the future of the Star Luo Empire.
For a long time now it was completely difficult to maintain the gentle princess etiquette.
Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, surprised enough to stuff an egg into her mouth.
The scene in front of her completely overturned her understanding of the world of soul masters.
She spoke blankly, her voice full of shock and disbelief: "How could there be such a soul ring configuration? And, you... aren't you the Holy Dragon of Light Spirit?"
Her eyes were full of doubts and curiosity, and she stared at Zhou Sichen closely, as if she wanted to see through him.
Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his smile.
He silently withdrew his martial soul, and the five exaggerated soul rings on his body suddenly disappeared into his body like bright meteors.
The terrifying soul power pressure in the hall also dissipated, and everything seemed to be calm again.
Neither Mr. Xuan nor Zhou Sichen spoke. They looked at Xu Jiawei quietly, waiting for him to explain for a long time.
Xu Jiawei cleared his throat and said, "Jiujiu, this is the book of contract. It is the top weapon spirit in the world and has the special ability of the contracted spirit beast."
"Once the contract is successful, the soul beast can evolve with the improvement of the soul master's own strength. When Sichen becomes a titled Douluo, he can be as powerful as nine titled Douluo by relying on the power of the contracted soul beast. ”
His tone was full of exclamation and admiration: "Furthermore, you have to know that the soul beast itself is stronger than the soul master at the same level."
"In addition, Sichen himself can also fuse with the contracted soul beast. By then, his own strength will become extremely powerful, beyond imagination."
Xu Jiawei paused, his eyes flashing, and continued, "With the help of the ability of the contracted soul beast, he can be omnipotent without weaknesses from any aspect and angle! Whether it is attack, defense, speed, or assistance, he can Be the best.”
Listening to his brother's words, Jiujiu felt as if there was a storm in his heart.
Her eyes were full of shock and yearning. Is there really such a powerful martial spirit in this world?
But the five shocking soul rings that I just saw with my own eyes were definitely not fake.
The terrifying pressure brought by the hundred thousand year soul ring made her still frightened when she thought about it, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Jiawei looked at his sister's expression and felt secretly proud.
He also sighed in his heart. If he hadn't heard Mr. Xuan's introduction with his own ears and seen Zhou Sichen's strength with his own eyes, how could he have dared to make a decision to bet on the future of the Star Luo Empire and choose " What about "Get in the car"?
Seeing all this with his own eyes at this moment, he truly understood the horror of Zhou Sichen.
Zhou Sichen smiled slightly and said humbly: "Your Majesty is right. Mr. Mu is my teacher. The ability of the Bright Holy Dragon that I have shown is also obtained through the special ability of my martial soul. All of this is apart from Without the teacher’s guidance and help.”
Zhou Sichen said this, his eyes full of gratitude and respect for Mr. Mu. Although there is an element of acting, there is indeed real emotion revealed in it.
Mr. Xuan chuckled, with a sly smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and only you and I know it. If we leave this hall today, if a third person knows about it, it will be troublesome. .”
Although Mr. Xuan was smiling, there was a hint of warning and seriousness in his eyes.
Xu Jiawei calmed down his excitement a little, nodded firmly, and said: "This is natural. I know it in my heart. One person can change the pattern of the entire continent."
"What's more, among the younger generation of Shrek, there are several super geniuses who are as extraordinary as Si Chen. Their existence will be the hope of Shrek Academy and even the entire Douluo Continent."
Xu Jiawei's tone was full of longing and confidence for the future.
"In this competition, it seems that only I, Xing Luo, really made money!" Xu Jiawei couldn't help but sigh.
He seemed to have seen the Star Luo Empire moving towards a glorious future with the help of Zhou Sichen.
Zhou Sichen stared blankly for a long time, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Her brother's words were still echoing in her mind as she tried to digest this series of astonishing information.
In her eyes, the initial dissatisfaction and helplessness were no longer there, replaced by a deep curiosity and expectation.
