Chapter 6096 What if it’s an ugly monster?
There was a moment of silence among the audience, followed by a deafening roar of shock.
“David? David?!”
“David who destroyed the Road to Heaven, killed His Majesty the Great, and caused chaos on the Holy Mountain?!”
“The David who offered a reward of 50,000 bottles of the elixir of immortality?!”
“Oh my God! He actually dared to come to Yunxian City?!”
The audience cheered happily.
There was shock, fear, excitement, and even an irresistible desire; the prize of 50,000 bottles of the elixir of immortality was enough to tempt anyone.
However, no one dared to move.
The tests conducted on the four stone pillars had shown David’s strength to everyone.
So what if you are a first-level immortal?
How could someone who was able to destroy the trial pillar with one punch and possessed the golden dragon bloodline be compared to an ordinary first-level immortal?
Upon hearing that name, Wu Lingyun’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
David!
There he is!
The man the temple is looking for and has a bounty of 50,000 bottles of the elixir of immortality on his head!
A complex flash of light flashed in his eyes, a mixture of anxiety, hostility, and a bit of… murderous intent that was hard to define.
Chen Wanqing seemed oblivious to the gasps of surprise around her; her eyes were fixed on David, with a strange light in them.
“David…”
He murmured the name softly, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “That’s a nice name.”
He stepped forward, gently raising his hand in a gesture of invitation:
“Young Master Chen, you have passed the Four Pillars of Destiny test. According to the rules, you may accompany me back to the Chen residence for the second test.”
He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Wu Lingyun, his tone still cold, but with a bit more politeness:
“Young Master Wu, please participate as well. The second test requires both of you to participate simultaneously.”
Wu Lingyun’s expression stiffened slightly.
He glanced at Chen Wanqing, then at David, a shadow flashing across his eyes.
However, he quickly regained his composure and nodded slightly.
“It’s an honor for me, Wu.”
But the smile seemed a bit stiff.
Chen Wanqing didn’t say much, then turned around and walked towards the eight-treasure glass palanquin.
Just before climbing onto the stretcher, he looked back at David and whispered:
“Young Master Chen, please.”
David nodded, but didn’t immediately get on the stretcher.
He turned his head towards the audience below the stage, and his gaze swept across the crowd, finding Ming Li and Liu Qianqian.
They both watched him anxiously.
David walked over and said in a low voice, “Wait here, I’ll go to the Chen family.”
Ming Li became anxious: “Mr. Chen, are you really going to leave? What if…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
David said calmly, “I know what I’m doing. Find a place to stay and wait for news from me.”
Ming Li wanted to say something else, but Liu Qianqian pulled up his sleeve and said softly, “Since our benefactor has made a decision, we will wait.”
He looked at David with worry in his eyes: “Be careful, my benefactor.”
David nodded and turned to walk towards the glass palanquin of the eight treasures.
The palanquin’s curtain was lifted, revealing a spacious interior that could comfortably accommodate four or five people. Chen Wanqing was already seated inside, and upon seeing David climb in, she nodded slightly in greeting.
Wu Lingyun followed closely and climbed onto the stretcher.
The palanquin curtain fell, and eight green-robed female servants lifted the palanquin, steadily heading east of the city.
The sedan chair wasn’t very spacious, and the three of them sat facing each other, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Chen Wanqing sat upright in the middle, her face now covered by a thin veil, revealing only her eyes, clear as autumn water.
His gaze shifted between David and Wu Lingyun, but he remained silent.
Wu Lingyun sat to the side, his back straight, a smile perfectly etched on his face, befitting a young master from a prominent family.
However, every now and then his gaze would fall on David, his eyes filled with observation and questions.
David leaned against the wall of the stretcher, his expression indifferent, as if he were simply going for a spring walk.
After a moment of silence, Wu Lingyun suddenly spoke:
“David…this name sounds familiar to me.”
He stared directly at David, a faint, sinister smile on his lips: “A few days ago I heard that the temple had issued an arrest warrant for a fugitive who destroyed the Path to Heaven, killed a Great Venerable, and caused chaos on the Holy Mountain. A reward of 50,000 bottles of the elixir of immortality has been offered. That person seems to be named David as well.”
He said it casually, but the meaning was very clear.
Chen Wanqing’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked at David.
David didn’t even lift his eyelids, and said indifferently, “Young Master Wu has a good memory.”
That’s a confession.
Wu Lingyun’s smile widened. “Young Master Chen, you’re truly bold. Despite being wanted by the Divine Temple, you still dare to show your face in Yunxian City and even participate in a martial arts contest to find a husband. Aren’t you afraid that I, Wu, will report you?”
David finally raised his eyes and glanced at her.
That calm and determined gaze sent shivers down Wu Lingyun’s spine.
“Young Master Wu can try it.”
David’s tone remained calm, “However, before Young Master Wu reports this, I can let Young Master Wu rest in bed for a few months.”
Wu Lingyun’s face stiffened.
He remembered the four stone pillars in the arena, the scene of David destroying the trial pillar with one punch, and the image of the five-clawed golden dragon… His smile froze on his face, and for a moment he didn’t know how to react.
Chen Wanqing spoke up at just the right moment, defusing the vague awkwardness:
“Young Master Wu was just joking. Although Yunxian City is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Temple, the city’s affairs have always been jointly managed by the two great families. The people of the Temple have no right to interfere in Yunxian City’s affairs.”
He looked at David with a calm gaze: “Young Master Chen, rest assured, no one in my Chen family can touch you.”
He spoke with absolute conviction and confidence.
David raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at her again.
Wu Lingyun’s expression turned even worse.
He laughed blandly and said nothing more, but the sadness in his eyes deepened.
The stretcher moved forward smoothly, and the noise of the street slowly faded away.
David leaned against the wall of the stretcher, his gaze fixed on Chen Wanqing.
Through the thin veil, the outline of a soft face was faintly visible.
He suddenly spoke up: “Miss Chen, may you please take off your veil?”
Chen Wanqing was a little surprised.
David continued, “Since this is a marriage proposal, I should at least see what my potential partner looks like. What if he’s an ugly monster? Wouldn’t I be in a very awkward position?”
This is a blunt, even somewhat harsh, statement.
Wu Lingyun frowned and said coldly, “Young Master Chen, watch your words. Miss Chen is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, a descendant of the golden and jade leaves. How dare you treat her with such disrespect?”
David didn’t even look at her, just looked at Chen Wanqing: “Miss Chen, what do you think?”
Chen Wanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.
The laugh was loud and clear, containing a hint of surprise and a hint of amusement.
