75: Dugu Nianyu's Recruitment

“That’s right, Ninth Princess, we indeed came for the azure emperor inheritance.”

“Yes, I heard there are countless treasures inside the azure emperor inheritance, so we wanted to try our luck.”

Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing both nodded in response.

Everyone who came to Azure Light City was here for the azure emperor inheritance, so they didn't need to hide anything.

“Oh? You really came for the azure emperor inheritance?”

Dugu Nianyu fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

Gu Chen and his companions didn't have entry tokens, so how would they enter the azure emperor inheritance?

The ones guarding the inheritance entrance were Half-step Quasi-Emperor Experts from the Three Great Dynasties. Trying to force their way in would definitely be a dead end.

Of course, if Qingtian Sect could send out genuine Quasi-Emperor Experts, they could still get The Four Night Owls in.

But with the strength Qingtian Sect had recently displayed...

Having a Half-step Quasi-Emperor was already the limit; sending out a Quasi-Emperor was impossible.

Their Three Great Dynasties had dominated the Southern Region for tens of thousands of years, and each only had one Quasi-Emperor Ancestor.

It was impossible for Qingtian Sect, this suddenly rising sect, to possess a Quasi-Emperor.

Now, only one possibility remained.

That was, Gu Chen and his companions, in order to enter the azure emperor inheritance, had killed people and stolen treasures from other forces to obtain entry tokens.

Thinking of this...

A trace of disgust flashed across Dugu Nianyu's expression.

What she hated most in her life were people who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

If The Four Night Owls were truly like this, she would not only refuse to recruit Night Owl but would also have people execute them.

Now, she just needed to confirm if they had identity tokens on them, then she could act.

“Do you have entry tokens on you? You need tokens to enter the inheritance.” Dugu Nianyu asked Gu Chen and his two companions with a cold expression.

As soon as they admitted to having tokens, she would immediately have her people make a move.

Her Imperial Father had sent her a Saint Emperor Peak guard; killing The Four Night Owls would be like crushing an ant.

“Uh…”

Seeing Dugu Nianyu's expression instantly turn cold and asking if they had tokens...

Gu Chen and his two companions looked somewhat bewildered, not knowing what Dugu Nianyu was up to.

Of course, they wouldn't say that they planned to have someone beat down the guardians of the azure emperor inheritance tomorrow before forcefully entering.

After all, the Xuan Yue Dynasty had people guarding the inheritance, so saying that wouldn't be very good.

She had just helped them out, and now to speak so wildly about beating up someone else's experts would be truly impolite.

So they decided to play dumb.

Thus, the three exchanged glances and put on shocked expressions.

“Oh my! You actually need tokens to enter the inheritance? I thought you could just walk in.”

“Yes, yes, what should we do now? We can’t enter the azure emperor inheritance.”

“Wuwu, we traveled so far; if we can't get in, wasn't it all for nothing?”

The three put on a dramatic performance.

Especially Qin Fei'er, who even squeezed out a few pitiful tears to make it more convincing.

It was as if not being able to enter the azure emperor inheritance had caused her immense grievance.

Looking at the three's shocked and pitiful expressions, Dugu Nianyu also looked bewildered.

Did she misunderstand them? Did they truly not know that tokens were required?

She was a bit skeptical of Gu Chen and his two companions' claims.

But they had no reason to hide tokens from her.

Because they simply didn't know that admitting to having tokens would immediately lead to their execution by her.

Although she was still a bit confused about The Four Night Owls not knowing the entry conditions, as long as they hadn't killed anyone to steal tokens, she didn't want to get involved further.

“So you didn’t know that entry requires an entry token!”

Dugu Nianyu's expression changed from cold to a smile as she said to The Four Night Owls, “I can give you four spots here, but there’s one condition. I wonder if you’re willing?”

After Dugu Nianyu finished speaking, she fixed her gaze on Night Owl.

Since The Four Night Owls didn't have entry spots, now was a great opportunity to recruit Night Owl.

As long as Night Owl agreed to leave Qingtian Sect and join the Xuan Yue Dynasty, she could offer four spots to The Four Night Owls.

“Ah! Really? Ninth Princess, please tell us your condition quickly. We will definitely fulfill it if we can.”

“Exactly, exactly, Ninth Princess, what is your condition?”

Gu Chen and his two companions immediately became happy upon hearing that Dugu Nianyu could provide spots.

They weren't faking it; they were genuinely happy.

As long as they could obtain spots on their own without the help of sect experts, it was something to be happy about.

After all, they were out for experience, and it was best not to ask for help from sect experts if possible.

Night Owl glanced at Dugu Nianyu, who was staring at him.

He felt that this young woman probably had ill intentions.

“Hehe, actually, it’s not a big request. I just want him!”

Dugu Nianyu smiled, pointing at Night Owl in front of her.

“Ah, Ninth Princess, you want our Senior Brother? We can’t make that decision.”

“That’s right, this is our own Senior Brother. We can’t sell our Senior Brother for a few spots.”

“Mm-hmm, we're like siblings, we can’t sell our Senior Brother. How about letting him accompany you for a while instead?”

Gu Chen and his two companions, seeing that Dugu Nianyu's condition was Night Owl, quickly shook their heads.

After all, they didn't necessarily need these spots; it was best if they could get them within their capabilities.

Now that Dugu Nianyu's target was Night Owl, that was absolutely impossible.

This was their Senior Brother! To sell their Senior Brother for a few unimportant spots, would they still be human?

Who knew how Dugu Nianyu would torment Night Owl after taking him?

Of course, even if they wanted to sell him, it would be impossible. If Night Owl himself didn't agree, none of them could force him.

Everything depended on Night Owl's preference. If he liked this pure Dugu Nianyu, he would sell himself.

Night Owl glared, staring coldly at Dugu Nianyu.

His prediction was indeed correct.

This young woman had ill intentions; she actually wanted to obtain him with just a few spots.

Such shameless behavior was truly detestable.

His heart had already died back in the Divine Will Sect; in this life, it was impossible for him to fall in love with a creature like a woman.

“It’s not what you’re thinking. I want him to leave Qingtian Sect and join my Xuan Yue Dynasty.”

Seeing Gu Chen and his companions' somewhat strange expressions...

Dugu Nianyu knew they had misunderstood, so she quickly explained.

As the dignified Ninth Princess of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, the geniuses who wanted to pursue her could circle the entire Southern Region.

Although Night Owl was outstanding, she wouldn't resort to such methods to obtain him.

“Oh, so that’s it!”

Upon hearing Dugu Nianyu’s explanation...

All four of them, including Gu Chen, raised their eyebrows, and their expressions turned cold.

Night Owl, needless to say, the cold light in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Dugu Nianyu's actions were even more detestable than exchanging him.

To want him to betray his sect for a mere four spots was utterly ridiculous.
