1038 Yu Huang: He Will

Zhou Yue was originally smiling, but her smile couldn’t hide her arrogance.

At the mention of the War God Clan, Zhou Yue subconsciously felt a sense of honor.

However, Zhou Yue’s smile froze when she heard Sheng Xiao reject her invitation. Then, it disappeared completely. “Young man, are you sure you want to reject my suggestion? Don’t you know the status of the War God Clan in the Cang Lang Continent?”

Zhou Yue thought that Sheng Xiao rejected her suggestion decisively because he knew nothing about the War God Clan’s prestige.

Nodding, Sheng Xiao said, “I know nothing about the War God Clan. But even if the War God Clan is the number one clan in the Cang Lang Continent, my choice will not change.”

Zhou Yue narrowed her eyes.

Her bald head and her cold eyes instantly made her seem menacing.

“What’s the reason?” Zhou Yue wanted to know why this man called Sheng Xiao rejected the offer of a prominent family so bluntly.

Where did his confidence come from?

Sheng Xiao remained calm in the face of Zhou Yue’s doubts. He said, “If I join the War God Clan, I can indeed enjoy superior resources and increase my cultivation level faster. This is indeed a good opportunity for me. However, I wonder if you’ve heard of this saying.”

Zhou Yue looked like she was willing to hear the details. “What saying?”

Sheng Xiao said, “If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.”

Zhou Yue frowned. She could guess what Sheng Xiao was worried about.

“Miss Zhou, there is no free lunch in this world. While I enjoy endless benefits and endless glory, I will definitely lose something. I will not be free, my actions will be restricted, and even my thoughts will be restricted…”

At this point, Sheng Xiao’s gaze gradually became solemn and sorrowful as he said in a low voice, “Miss Zhou, the gap between a small world and a super Great World is as wide as a chasm. You will never guess what price the Beast Tamers in our hometown paid to send us young people to the Great World to further our studies.”

“Miss Zhou, if I came to the Great World just to let myself become stronger and become superior to others, then joining the War God Clan is indeed my best choice. However, I’m not alone. I have a lover and good friends. We risked our lives to come to the Cang Lang Continent not only to make ourselves stronger, but also to accompany our friends to become stronger. And our desire to become stronger is not to become superior to others, not for money, glory, power, or status. We just want to protect our hometown.”

Sheng Xiao and the others only had one goal—

It was to become stronger and save the Holy Spirit Continent.

Once he joined the War God Clan, his actions would be restricted.

This wasn’t what Sheng Xiao wanted.

Just like Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao wasn’t someone who was easily blinded by benefits.

He was very clear-headed. He knew what he wanted and what he should do.

The reason they stood here safely was that the seniors of their hometown had used their lives to pave a path for them. On their shoulders, they carried the future of the Holy Spirit Continent.

Becoming stronger and becoming superior was indeed a huge temptation.

But what Sheng Xiao cared about the most was his hometown.

Zhou Yue was moved by Sheng Xiao’s words. She was born into a rich family and was accepted as a disciple of the War God Clan because of her talent. She had lived a life of privilege since she was young. Naturally, she couldn’t understand the hardships of people of a small world.

Without a complete understanding of the Holy Spirit Continent, Zhou Yue had no right to comment on Sheng Xiao’s decision.

However, she still felt regret over Sheng Xiao’s decision. “Sheng Xiao, there is still a long to go. Aren’t you afraid that you will regret today’s decision?”

Sheng Xiao smiled and said calmly, “I just want to have a clear conscience now.”

Zhou Yue still didn’t want to miss out on Sheng Xiao, so she wanted to persuade him again. She said, “But have you thought about it? If you reject the War God Clan’s offer, you might never become strong.”

Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang.

Yu Huang was also looking at him.

Her gaze was calm, as if she seemed certain that Sheng Xiao would reject Zhou Yue’s invitation.

It was because she trusted Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao looked away and replied to Zhou Yue with a smile, “Miss Zhou, you’re overthinking. I’m not cut out to be trash.”

Zhou Yue was speechless.

“Okay, how arrogant!” How arrogant. She liked it!

Zhou Yue extended her right hand and the staff behind her immediately handed the assessment document to her.

Zhou Yue signed her name quickly. When she handed the assessment document to Sheng Xiao, she gave him her contact number and said, “If you change your mind, you can contact me. I’m willing to give you another chance.”

Zhou Yue had always cherished geniuses.

Sheng Xiao wasn’t an ungrateful person. Sheng Xiao wouldn’t accept Zhou Yue’s kind offer, but he wouldn’t offend her either.

He took the name card and the assessment document.

“Thank you.”

Sheng Xiao nodded at Lan Yuan, who was undergoing treatment by a Healer. He was about to go down directly, but he felt wronged, so he stopped and looked at Lan Yuan’s tall and strong body. “Whether you believe it or not, Yu Huang and I are indeed husband and wife who have a marriage compact. Also…”

Lan Yuan looked up at Sheng Xiao in confusion. “What else?”

Sheng Xiao said, “A woman’s appearance is indeed important, but even if a woman doesn’t have a beautiful face, there will still be people who admire her. Senior Lan Yuan, you don’t have to lose all your compassion for this world over a scumbag.”

Then, Sheng Xiao walked off the stage without looking at Lan Yuan’s reaction. He stood under the spectator stand and looked up at Yu Huang, who was watching. “Let’s go.”

Yu Huang jumped down from the high platform and walked straight to Sheng Xiao. Then, she interlocked her fingers with his and left the boxing arena.

As Lan Yuan stared at their backs, she suddenly shouted at Sheng Xiao, “Easy for you to say! Your wife is beautiful. If your wife was an ugly monster, would you still fall in love with her?”

Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang stopped in their tracks.

Before Sheng Xiao could turn around, Yu Huang turned around and replied Lan Yuan firmly, “He would.”

Upon hearing Yu Huang’s answer, Lan Yuan couldn’t help but sneer. “You’re beautiful, so you’ve never experienced being despised and mocked for being ugly. What do you know? If you’re disfigured and ugly, the man beside you would dump you sooner or later!”
