194: Such an extraordinary and elegant demeanor really made them look at him with new eyes!

"Guild Leader?!"

"Big Brother?!"

"Father?!"

After Purple Cang finished speaking, everyone present, whether it was Purple Xuan, Zi Ling, or Zi Luo, their expressions instantly changed.

Although Zi Ling had said that before, Xiao Chen had just finished healing Zi Ling.

To immediately say she would follow him her whole life, and it wasn't even Zi Ling who said it herself, didn't this seem too abrupt?!

Of course.

This was just the opinion of Zi Ling and Zi Luo; Purple Xuan, the Grand Elder, was not worried about this at the moment.

Instead, he was worried about the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild having spent such a huge price to heal Zi Ling's dantian and even awaken a Saint-level physique!

Her cultivation had directly soared to the Profound Pill First Level, already catching up to her peers from back then.

If she were to be nurtured well from now on, in less than ten years, she would be another Heavenly Human Realm expert.

The most important point was that Zi Ling's business acumen was also incredibly formidable; few in the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild could compare.

Once Zi Ling fully matured, she would definitely be the backbone of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild!

But now...

After Zi Ling awakened her Saint-level physique, Purple Cang seemed to be eager to push her away?!

Had his brain been pecked by a bird?!

"What are you shouting about?!"

"You old fool, what do you know? Do you think with Zi Ling having awakened a Saint-level physique, our Purple Cloud Merchant Guild can protect her in the future?!"

Seeing Purple Xuan pull him back with a look of anxiety, Purple Cang couldn't help but turn his head and low-voice.

This low voice wasn't very loud, but it instantly felt like a clap of thunder had exploded in Purple Xuan's mind!

He hadn't thought about it carefully just now, but now that he had come to his senses, Purple Xuan also realized something!

It was true that Zi Ling had awakened a Saint-level physique, and in the future, she might even break through to the Ru Sheng Realm!

But all of this... was based on the premise that Zi Ling could grow up successfully!

Otherwise, even with a Saint-level physique, without protection, she would just be a piece of delicious meat!

Leaving aside the several hidden families, just look at the Imperial Family in the same Imperial City.

Once they discovered that Zi Ling possessed a Saint-level physique, they would absolutely not allow her to stay in the merchant guild peacefully!

Either she would become a consort of the Great Qian Emperor and be controlled by the Imperial Family as a cultivation vessel!

Or, after refusing the Imperial Family, she would die an unclear death in the future!

Therefore, Zi Ling's biggest problem now was whether she could grow up successfully.

And this This Young Master Xiao's background was very mysterious, and he had the Medusa Queen, a Ru Sheng Realm expert; in terms of methods and foundation, they were far stronger than the merchant guild.

If Zi Ling followed him, she would basically be able to grow up.

Once Zi Ling grew up, remembering that she was once a member of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild, she would more or less take care of the merchant guild!

He had thought that Purple Cang, being old, would be a bit muddle-headed, but he didn't expect him to be so sharp.

To be able to think so far ahead in such a short time, he truly deserved to be the Guild Leader!

As Purple Cang came back to his senses, Zi Ling and Zi Luo also reacted, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated.

Of course, the former was more nervous and shy, not even daring to look up at Xiao Chen.

If he refused her, how awkward would that be?

Seeing the atmosphere become a bit awkward, Xiao Chen also felt a little surprised at this moment.

He didn't expect Zi Ling to have made such a vow, as if fate had arranged for her to wait for him.

This romantic luck was getting more and more outrageous!

"I didn't expect Miss Zi Ling to have such a vow; this is a bit beyond my expectations, This Young Master."

As thoughts turned in his mind, Xiao Chen immediately said with a light smile.

"However, vows are vows after all and cannot be generalized."

"Whether Miss Zi Ling wants to follow this This Young Master depends on her inner decision."

"Although this This Young Master is not a block of wood, I will not force others to do difficult things."

"Therefore, whether Miss Zi Ling is willing to follow me in the future, let her consider it carefully before making a decision."

As these words fell, Purple Cang and the others trembled slightly, their faces showing strange expressions.

One must know that Zi Ling was once known as the most beautiful woman in the Great Qian Imperial City, and now she had undergone an astonishing transformation after awakening a Saint-level physique.

It was no exaggeration to say that even some Ru Sheng Realm experts would covet Zi Ling.

If they knew about this vow, perhaps other experts would take advantage of the situation and firmly grasp Zi Ling in their hands.

Who would allow Zi Ling not to have to consider it carefully before making a decision because of the vow?

And This Young Master Xiao was not at all impatient, still asking Zi Ling to think clearly.

Such extraordinary demeanor truly made them look at him with new eyes!

"I..."

Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Zi Ling found it a bit difficult to speak at this moment.

They had only known each other for less than a quarter of an hour, and now she was about to pledge herself to him.

Such a rapid change in relationship truly made her heart a mess.

"Guild Leader, the several Crown Princes are here and cannot be stopped!!"

Just as Zi Ling took a deep breath and was about to say "I do," a hurried voice came from outside.

This caused Xiao Chen and the others' eyes to narrow slightly, while Purple Cang and the others' expressions changed, and their eyes all turned towards Xiao Chen.

Clearly, the reason why the several Crown Princes came to the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild at this critical juncture was likely because Xiao Chen's arrival was too flashy, causing these several Crown Princes to have the idea of trying to win him over.

But the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild had always been in a neutral camp. Now, with several Crown Princes visiting them together, if they weren't careful and chose the wrong side, the situation in the future would likely be very troublesome.

"Gongzi, about this... what do you think?"

As the thought crossed his mind, Purple Cang looked at Xiao Chen.

After the series of events just now, even though Purple Cang could handle this matter, he still wanted to hear Xiao Chen's opinion.

"Hmm, send them all away."

"This This Young Master is not interested in power struggles..."

Xiao Chen waved his hand upon hearing this, saying somewhat uninterestingly.

Hearing that the visitors were several Crown Princes, Xiao Chen knew without thinking that they were simply trying to win him over.

But Imperial Family members... usually had a kind of arrogance about them. Even if they were trying to win someone over, it was insincere, and it even felt like they were bestowing something upon him.

Just like Yang Xiao last time. Although he wasn't an Imperial Family member, he was not much different, and he really wasn't interested in dealing with these people.

"Hahaha, Guild Leader Purple Cang, is it because there is a distinguished guest in the merchant guild that you want to shut us out?!"

Just as Purple Cang nodded upon hearing this and was about to send someone to refuse these people, a clear voice came from outside.

Following this, a young man wearing a purple python-patterned robe, as if entering an uninhabited land, burst into the room.

This person was the Second Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, Second Prince Huang Zifeng, who was now forty-eight years old and had a cultivation of the Profound Comprehension Third Level.

However, with the maintenance of his cultivation, his appearance still looked like a young man.

And facing this Crown Prince's audacious intrusion, some of the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild's deacons and elders, although looking aggrieved, truly dared not stop him.

This was the status of the Great Qian Imperial Family in the Imperial City.

As long as they were within the Imperial City, with the Imperial City's protective formation and the blessing of the Imperial Dao's fortune, the Great Qian Emperor, even if only in the Heavenly Human Ninth Level, was enough to unleash power comparable to the Ru Sheng Realm.

Therefore, even the Purple Cloud Merchant Guild sometimes had to turn a blind eye to some of the Imperial Family members' rude behavior.

"Second Brother's actions are indeed still so eccentric. Breaking in so domineeringly, aren't you afraid that this distinguished guest will have some reservations about you?"

Just as Purple Cang and the others lowered their eyes, their expressions gradually becoming gloomy, another voice came from outside, and another young man also walked in with his people.
