Upon hearing this, not only were Jin Chengxuan and Nalan Yan surprised, but even the other concubines, who had been chattering incessantly, turned their heads to stare unblinkingly at Ginny, who had an unyielding expression on her face.
Jin Chengxuan asked curiously, "Girl, who is the person you mentioned? Could he be more powerful than your Four-star Beast Master Imperial Brother?"
Ginny nodded, pouting, "Yes, Father, I heard about it from others. That guy is only thirteen this year, but he has already become as powerful as my brother. Not only that, outside the Spirit Palace last time, he even defeated Brother Nalan in front of many people..."
"Such a remarkable youth?"
Even someone as composed as Jin Chengxuan was astonished upon hearing Ginny's report!
If he was so shocked, it was needless to say how Nalan Yan and the other concubines felt; their faces paled in disbelief. They were all just ordinary people, and to have their current status was already something envied by many. But they also deeply understood that as powerful as the families behind them were, they still needed to rely on those Beast Cultivator experts to establish a footing in the family-dense Muni City. However, though there were many Beast Cultivators, the truly strong were scarce, and most of those strong ones were very proud and hard to tame. For a family to have assistance from one Beast King expert was extremely rare. If they could gain the support of a Beast Emperor or even a Beast Soul, wouldn't they be able to command the wind and rain? Moreover, this was a thirteen-year-old who had become a Four-star Beast Master! Anyone could predict how glorious his future would be!
"Incredible! A thirteen-year-old Four-star Beast Master!"
Jin Chengxuan's eyes glittered with admiration, and despite having met countless people and possessing a very steady nature, he too was stirred to the core.
He could fully imagine that this boy, ten or twenty years from now, would become a more terrifying Beast Cultivator genius than Tianhui! Such a genius, if he were to fall into the hands of others...
He shook his head, his tone suddenly becoming firm, "No, such a talent, I must recruit him for my use!"
"Your Majesty is truly wise!"
Nalan Yan quickly concurred, her charming face filled with smiles, "I also believe that such talent must not be recruited by forces outside the imperial family, or the consequences would be quite severe!"
In fact, she feared that if Su Chen were recruited by other families, the Nalan Family's status would be in great jeopardy.
Unfortunately, Ginny disliked her sycophantic attitude and snorted, "Unfortunately, he has already been recruited by Lord Tianhui as the youngest member of the Divine Concealment Hall."
"What?"
At this, everyone, including Jin Chengxuan and Nalan Yan, exclaimed in shock, then fell into a long silence, with no further response. The Divine Concealment Hall was a giant entity that even the Imperial Royal Family couldn't afford to offend, and no one would risk offending it for a genius....
Today's sky seemed exceptionally clear, a slight touch of clarity amidst the blue, like the ocean during calm weather. A gentle breeze brushed by, lifting the strands above the brows.
Su Chen, clad in a simple blue robe, stood atop the expansive and boundless arena, with his hands clasped behind his back, like an unsheathed sharp sword. The calm and composed look on his face, however, added an intangible sense of mystery to him. Below the stage, the crowd had already become a sea of cheers. The noble celebrities in the front row, sitting with focused silence, and the dense crowd of townspeople in the back row, moved in agitation, together illustrating the tense atmosphere in two extremely different ways.
A similarly astonishingly young boy, dressed in fluttering white robes like an ethereal cloud, stood opposite Su Chen. Both possessed an otherworldly handsome appearance and a calm and composed demeanor, but he gave an impression of being exceedingly illusory. It was as if he really was a cloud, a cloud so light that it had no weight.
Below the stage, there were quite a few noble young women cheering enthusiastically for this ethereal boy.
"Lie Yanchen, go for it!"
"Lie Yanchen, you're the best, you will definitely win the Grand Tournament!"
"We support you!"
Listening to these voices in his ears, Dolmont's face turned sullen, yet he couldn't act rudely, so he had to mutter indignantly, "Lie Yanchen, Lie Yanchen, a flashy young fellow like this, what's there to be proud of?"
"Dolmont, don't give up more valuable 'gems' just because of this seedling, Su Chen, or you'll regret it later."
Tianhui said with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, my devotion to young brother Su Chen is unwavering, no one can divert my attention from him."
Dolmont deliberately opposed Tianhui.
Tianhui smiled faintly, not minding at all.
Not far away, also in the state guest seats, several elderly folks with relaxed expressions were engaged in conversation. Among them, the two tallest old men were the most eye-catching.
"Hehe, General Wilson, congratulations on your godson entering the top ten."
The speaker was an elderly man with silver hair. His face was amiable, clad in a purple robe, with a yellow star depicted on the chest of the robe. This symbolized him as a One-star Minister of the Golden Wind Empire. The person he was speaking to was also an elderly man, albeit a relatively younger one, probably around fifty, with a tall and imposing figure, and a dignified appearance. The somewhat substantial silver armor he wore added a few more measures of tigerish ferocity. Even from afar, one could feel the faintly murderous aura emanating from him.
With a slight turn of his hawk-like eyes, the elderly man stroked his chiseled, dark chin, his face composed, "Thank you for your kind words, Lord Ferdinand."
It seemed he wasn't very adept at conversation, while the silver-haired elder called Ferdinand merely chuckled, "General Wilson, in my opinion, that young boy from the east is no match for Lie Yanchen."
