C269 Three Dragons and Two Phoenixes
I wonder what the chief of the sea race needs my help with? " Shen Yih didn't answer him directly, but asked slowly.
"I need you to represent the Hai Mansion in this elimination match of the War of Celestial Chosen." Hai Aojun said.
Hai Aojun had invited Shen Yih this time, and he didn't hesitate to confront the Chen Family for this matter. He had already obtained some insider information. This time, the War of Celestial Chosen might be of great importance.
The Hai Mansion already had Hai Lingqing, but it wasn't safe to rely on her alone. Therefore, Hai Aojun set his target on Shen Yih.
"I can't agree to this." Shen Yih shook his head and said.
"Shen Yih, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. I understand what you are worried about. You are worried about the Xiahou Family, right? " Someone, invite them here. " Hai Aojun said in a flat tone.
"Yes."
The guards left.
Soon, Xiahou Lieh and Xiahou Guang could be seen walking towards them with bitter smiles on their faces. Under the lead of the guards who had just retreated from the Hai Mansion, they walked towards them.
When Xiahou Guang saw Shen Yih, a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Shen Yih frowned slightly. He already understood why Xiahou Guang and Xiahou Guang were here.
"Shen Yih, Xiahou Family wants your help to protect their noble status." Hai Aojun said confidently, "But this is just a small matter to me."
"Xiahou Guang!"
Hai Aojun looked at Xiahou Guang and said, "As long as Shen Yih agrees to fight for Hai Mansion, I can guarantee that this time, not only will your Xiahou Family's noble status not be removed, but you will also be transferred to Lai Yuan City, and you will be promoted to a second-rate noble!"
"This..."
Xiahou Guang's expression changed. He could promote their Xiahou Family to a second-rate noble. This was absolutely a huge achievement for them. It was a good thing.
Before this, he only wanted to protect his status as a noble. When had he ever thought of such a thing?
Xiahou Guang did not doubt Hai Aojun's words at all. With Hai Aojun's status in Dynasty, if he could say such words, he could naturally do what he said.
"Besides, I will also give you a fortune as compensation for your losses. What do you think?" Hai Aojun said.
"Lord Hai Aojun has invited us here. We, the Xiahou Family, won't dare disobey him." Xiahou Guang was silent for a moment and said.
"Father." A trace of unwillingness flashed across Xiahou Lieh's eyes.
Xiahou Guang looked at him closely. Xiahou Lieh could only let out a long sigh and retreat to the side.
"Shen Yih, the Xiahou Family has already agreed to it. What else do you have to say?" Hai Aojun turned to Shen Yih and said.
"Chief of the Sea Race, they are just afraid, not agreeing to it." Shen Yih shook his head and said, "I have been suffering with Xiahou Family all the way until now. I can't give up on them at this time. I'm sorry, I can only let you down. "
"Shen Yih, you have to think carefully. The Xiahou Family can't protect you!" Hai Aojun stared at him and said.
Xiahou Guang and Xiahou Lieh's expressions changed slightly. The reason they agreed to it just now was partly because they were afraid of Hai Aojun, and partly because of Shen Yih.
With the strength of Xiahou Family, they really couldn't protect Shen Yih.
Xiahou Guang wasn't afraid that Xiahou Family would live and die together with Shen Yih, because Shen Yih was the only one who could bring Xiahou Family to where it was today.
However, they didn't want Shen Yih to give up a good opportunity because of them.
Shen Yih smiled faintly and said confidently, "I, Shen Yih, don't need the protection of others. If Chen Family wants to kill me, then let them come."
"Shen Yih, are you sure you want to give up this opportunity? With the Chen Family's means, if you don't have the protection of me, Hai Aojun, you won't be able to survive until the elimination round." Hai Aojun said coldly.
"Shen Yih, promise Lord Hai Aojun. With his protection, even the Chen Family would have some concerns. Xiahou Guang let out a long sigh and advised.
"I, Shen Yih, have already agreed to participate in the War of Celestial Chosen on behalf of the Xiahou Family. This War of Celestial Chosen is not over yet, I will not give up." Shen Yih said.
A trace of gratitude flashed across Xiahou Guang's eyes. At this moment, Shen Yih had yet to give up on the Xiahou Family. This showed how noble and upright Shen Yih was. However, there was also a trace of pain on his face, because he felt that the Xiahou Family had become Shen Yih's burden.
"Haha!"
Right at this moment, Hai Aojun suddenly burst into laughter. "Not bad, not bad! This is the genius that I value!"
Hai Lingqing and Hai Cangfeng also had a smile in their eyes.
Xiahou Guang and Xiahou Lieh were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other and looked at each other.
"You will never change your mind when you face wealth, and when you face power, you will never yield. Shen Yih, I am very satisfied with you!" Hai Aojun looked at Shen Yih with satisfaction and said.
If Shen Yih had really agreed to his request just now, he would have done what he said. However, he would not value Shen Yih so much.
If a person's talent wasn't enough, he could use hard work to make up for it. If a person's strength wasn't enough, he could slowly improve. But if there was a problem with a person's character, then everything would be over.
"Shen Yih, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in this elimination match for our Hai Mansion. However, Xiahou Guang, in the name of our Hai Mansion, I want to become an ally of your Xiahou Family. Are you willing?" Hai Aojun looked at Xiahou Guang who was standing beside him and asked.
Xiahou Guang's face was filled with joy. He hastily said, "Of course I'm willing!"
This was absolutely beneficial and harmless to the Xiahou Family. He understood that Hai Aojun didn't really want to cooperate with them. He just wanted to find a reason to protect them.
"Thank you, chief of the sea race." Shen Yih also said with gratitude.
He could naturally see through Hai Aojun's good intentions. Since Hai Aojun had already done so, he naturally had no reason to refuse. However, he had already remembered this kindness in his heart. At that time, he would definitely repay it a hundredfold.
"Haha, you don't have to thank me. This was exchanged with your strength and character." Hai Aojun shook his head and said, "Shen Yih, how much do you know about the upcoming elimination rounds?"
"Not at all." Shen Yih shook his head and said.
He had been in the inn all these days, so he didn't pay too much attention to these matters. Xiahou Guang and Xiahou Lieh were also worried about the matter of the Chen Family, so they didn't have the energy to pay attention to it either.
"There are 32 people participating in the elimination round. Shen Yih was able to enter the elimination round. " All of them are the top geniuses of our dynasty. "Even if it's you, don't let your guard down." Hai Aojun said seriously.
Shen Yih nodded slightly. Even a lion would use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Even if he had absolute confidence, he wouldn't let his guard down either.
"Especially the three dragons and two phoenixes. Their strength is quite formidable. Even when I was young, I might not be able to compare with them." Hai Aojun's eyes carried a hint of praise as he said, "Chen Huang of Chen Family. He is one of the Three Dragons."
Shen Yih squinted his eyes. If the Chen Family wanted to kill him, he naturally wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. However, abandoning a mere Chen Yingloong wasn't enough to make the Chen Family suffer.
He had to cut off a piece of flesh from the Chen Family. And this Chen Huang was definitely a good target.
"Chen Huang's Cultivation is the Flame Emperor's Sacred Fire Art. His strength has already reached around the sixth level of the Genuine Entering Stage. If you encounter him, you must be careful of his power." Hai Aojun reminded.
"Chen Huang has once obtained an inheritance. Now, he can condense the Genuine Qi in his body into a raging fire. Within the fire, his strength will increase by at least 30%. "
A hint of shock flashed across Xiahou Guang's eyes. This Chen Huang from the Chen Family had already formed his power?
Regarding the identity of the Three Dragons and Two Phoenixes, the Xiahou Family wouldn't be able to find out about it, but Hai Aojun knew it like the back of his hand.
"Although Chen Huang is very strong, he is only ranked second among the Three Dragons. There is still one more person who is a true genius." Hai Aojun took a deep breath and said, "That person is a genius adopted by the royal family. His name is Gudu Yun."
When Hai Aojun finished speaking, Hai Cangfeng and Hai Lingqing who were standing beside him took a deep breath at the same time.
Shen Yih raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at their expressions, could it be that Gudu Yun's strength frightened both of them?
