Chen Nian heard this and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Why, Saint, do you think I will lose?"
Lin Qingcheng pondered for a moment, staring at Chen Nian's confident face, and for a moment she couldn't see through him.
"Although your talent is terrifying, you are too impatient. In my opinion, your chances of winning are no more than 10%."
One percent, or Lin Qingcheng's estimate was too high. In her heart, Chen Nian was probably doomed to die.
After all, she was very clear about Wang Duan's strength, and it was absolutely impossible for a transcendent warrior to match him.
Although Chen Nian's talent is terrifying, he is still only in the early stage of the extraordinary realm.
Chen Nian heard this and smiled mysteriously:
"Whether it's life or death, the Saint will know when the time comes, but today, I came to you for two things."
Two things?
Lin Qingcheng frowned when she heard this and asked curiously:
"What's up?"
Chen Nian said with a smile:
"I know you are unhappy with Grandpa's decision, but you also hate Wang Duan, and you don't want to marry anyone else."
Lin Qingcheng didn't say anything after hearing this.
As Chen Nian said, she didn't want to get married, but she had no ability to change it. Although the saint had a high status, she could not decide her own destiny.
Chen Nian glanced at her with a smile and continued:
"You have the Holy Ice Body. Practicing dual cultivation with you would be greatly beneficial to my cultivation. However, this prince does not care. The path of cultivation is inherently against the will of heaven. I disdain relying on a woman to improve my cultivation."
After hearing this, Lin Qingcheng became even more curious and didn't know what Chen Nian meant.
Chen Nian then continued:
"The reason I agreed to this marriage wasn't because of your Holy Ice Body, nor because of your looks, but because of the Purple Sky Secret Realm."
That’s right, the reason why Chen Nian agreed to this marriage was only because of the Zixiao Secret Realm.
The biggest key to Chen Nian’s father’s current achievements is the Zixiao Secret Realm.
If it weren’t for the Zixiao Secret Realm, Chen Tiandao would definitely not have such terrifying strength now.
Therefore, Chen Nian was also very curious about that secret realm.
However, the Zixiao Secret Realm is only open to disciples of this sect. The only way for Chen Nian to enter the secret realm is to get engaged to Lin Qingcheng, so that he can have the identity of the Zixiao Divine Sect.
So, this is the key reason why he is willing to get engaged to her.
As for Lin Qingcheng's appearance and the so-called Holy Ice Body, he didn't care.
In this world, strength is the foundation.
You can have beauty, but you cannot be greedy for it.
"This prince is willing to promise you that after I come out of the Purple Sky Secret Realm, I will break off the engagement with you. This way, you don't have to worry about the matter of a Taoist partner."
When Lin Qingcheng heard this, her eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Chen Nian, do you want to cancel the engagement?
Lin Qingcheng knew that her appearance made countless men crazy, and even Wang Duan was crazy about her.
However, she never expected that Chen Nian didn't care about her appearance at all and even wanted to break off the engagement with her.
This was simply unbelievable for Lin Qingcheng.
"What you said is true!?"
Lin Qingcheng's voice trembled slightly as she spoke with some excitement.
Chen Nian smiled slightly:
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Yes!
There was no need for Chen Nian to lie to herself at all.
Besides, as the son of the Chen family, Chen Nian has a noble status and would never bother to lie or deceive others.
In an instant, Lin Qingcheng lost her composure, and her face became more turbulent as she looked at Chen Nian.
"Why did you do that?"
Lin Qingcheng didn't understand. Her looks were absolutely charming, and her talent was top-notch. She couldn't understand why Chen Nian would take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
If an ordinary person were to get engaged to me, I would definitely be the first to kowtow and kneel down to express my gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nian looked at Lin Qingcheng calmly and said:
“You are indeed very beautiful, but this prince does not care. What I want is to break through the realm of the Great Emperor, or even surpass the Great Emperor. I want to see what is beyond this world and what is above the Great Emperor.
In other words, this prince wants to break the barrier of these three thousand realms, so your beauty is nothing to me."
Chen Nian's voice was very calm, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Lin Qingcheng's ears, instantly giving her an epiphany.
She looked at the man in front of her who was so much younger than her in shock. For some reason, she found that she could not see through Chen Nian.
This man's ambition is too big. Breaking through the emperor is not enough, he even wants to surpass the emperor.
She didn't know where Chen Nian got the courage and confidence from.
After a long while, Lin Qingcheng slowly came back to her senses and nodded.
"I see."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Nian with a complicated expression.
On the one hand, I feel relieved, but on the other hand, I also feel a little disappointed.
Chen Nian was the first man who was indifferent to her appearance and even actively rejected her, which made her feel a little frustrated.
This is women's nature.
She feels disgusted when a man pounces on her, but she feels frustrated when he moves a little away from her and acts as if he is nothing special to her.
But Lin Qingcheng quickly calmed down and said:
"Anyway, I owe you a favor."
Although she felt a little disappointed, Lin Qingcheng was even happier that she didn't have to marry someone she didn't like.
Anyway, the ending is good.
Chen Nian smiled slightly, knowing that he had achieved his goal.
He came to see Lin Qingcheng, naturally with a purpose.
The first thing was to pave the way and gain Lin Qingcheng's favor, and the second thing was the purpose of his visit to Lin Qingcheng this time.
"There's a second thing."
Chen Nian said with a smile.
At this moment, Lin Qingcheng's attitude towards Chen Nian also changed. There was a hint of gratitude in her eyes when she looked at him, and her voice was not so cold anymore.
"you say."
"I want to have a good chat with Wang Duan. I wonder if the Saint can take me to Wang Duan's courtyard."
Lin Qingcheng: “???”
Chen Nian wants to talk to Wang Duan?
What is there to talk about with their relationship?
Could it be that Chen Nian wants to reconcile with Wang Duan?
Impossible!
Lin Qingcheng frowned slightly and asked curiously:
"What do you have to talk about with him?"
Chen Nian heard this and said casually:
"Just a casual chat. Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. I'm just trying to find out the truth."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingcheng nodded in agreement.
In her opinion, the possibility of Chen Nian winning is very small, so it would be a good idea to find out in advance, maybe she can find Wang Duan's weakness.
She nodded and said:
"Okay, in that case, I'll go with you."
If it were before, Lin Qingcheng would naturally not want to bother with Chen Nian, but he first won Lin Qingcheng's gratitude by breaking off the engagement, so Lin Qingcheng naturally would not refuse such a small thing.
When Chen Nian heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her heart was already filled with joy.
The show is about to begin!
