In a big arena, a lot of important people affiliated with the Su and Ji families gathered to witness a spectacular battle.

'System, the emergency preparations are in place?'

-Su Chen asked the almighty system in his mind.

[You don't have to worry, with the emergency measures activated, you can instantaneously avail all the perks.]

[The System had already concealed the host's cultivation realm of Qi Gathering Stage 2.]

The system replied in a mechanical voice.

Yes, this was Su Chen's confidence as soon as he accepted system rewards from the lucky roulette, his comprehension improved at an outstanding pace.

And, after practising the system's awarded cultivation technique- The Path Of No Return, he instantly broke from Qi Gather Stage 1 to Stage 2, boosting his confidence altogether.

The two groups were standing next to each other.

Su Chen was accompanied by his mom, Su Yuer, all the female leads- Mei Qing, Chu Chenxi, Ji Rumemg, Lu Lann, Xier, Zhu Qing, along with his maids- Ashlynn, Catlynn, Sunanina and the head of his security- Wanger.....while Chu Fang came with his newly married wife Ji Rinni, henchmen- Joker & Viper and not to forget his unnamed old Taoist master.

Shameful Ji Rinni dared not meet her daughter's eyes, she felt too ashamed to face Ji Rumeng since a part of her heart had already been seduced by Chu Fang's domineering yet fierce last night.

Before going on the stage, Su Chen walked close to Su Chen's old master.

With a sad expression, he spoke.

"Why do you have to support Chu Fang?"

"You already must have known what type of personality he has, so why put all hope on him?"

Su Chen spoke with a complex emotion.

"You don't understand, he is not simple!"

"He is an important chess piece in this game we are only eligible to watch as mere spectators."

The Old Master exclaimed with a deep sigh.

It seems as if he knew many hidden things, but didn't dare open his mouth.

"Anyways, I don't need to explain all of this to you because you are going to die soon!"

"You better take this few last minutes of your time to cherish your women."

Chu Fang's master looked at Su Chen like a lamb waiting to be chopped on the slaughter board.

In his head, the system's notification was heard.

[ The manipulation technique failed because the target has a strong attachment and genuine care for the Protagonist.]

The system prompted immediately.

The same was true for other people standing alongside Chu Fang.

'Hmm, it seems, this ability of manipulation which I acquired in the system's lottery only works on the low-level target.

It would have been great had he managed to steal his opponent's allies without a fight.

But it didn't matter!

From the start, Su Chen planned to rely on no one.

The ones with ambition must know how to survive facing all odds.

The Old Taoist Master was standing leisurely with his guard down, Su Chen was waiting for this opportunity.

From the start, the entire conversation was just a distraction.

Pretending to fall, Su Chen intentionally slipped and fell on the Old Taoist Master.

The Old Man of Chu Fang hadn't expected the sudden situation.

Grasping the situation, Su Chen quickly summoned the sealing talisman from the system's space and secretly pasted it on the Old Man's back.

The entire sneaky action was quick, hardly taking any seconds, to others it seemed as if Su Chen's foot had really slipped by mistake.

Since ancient times, the strongest hunters have always appeared in the form of the weakest prey and Su Chen had very well perfected this concept.

Before the Old Taoist could get angry, Chen hurriedly separated and bowed his head in apology.

"My bad….respected old master."

Su Chen quickly ordered his servants to bring a new piece of white robes.

Seeing his remorseful apology and compensating actions, the anger in the Old Taoist eyes subsided a lot.

"It's okay, just hurry and go on the stage!"

"You have already wasted too much time."

"Chu Fang, end this farce quickly, I need to go and meditate."

The Old Taoist dismissed Su Chen nonchalantly.

After his words, Su Chen and Chu Fang went on the duelling stage one after another.

Before going up, Su Chen didn't forget to give a secret signal to his obedient maids Ashlynn and Catlynn.

His eyes darting to and fro between Chu Fang and his nominal master already conveyed his hidden meaning.

Ashlynn and Carlynn nodded immediately, last night Su Chen had long discussed an important plan with them, it was time to execute it perfectly!

While everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage anticipating a spectacular showdown, both the maids cleverly disappeared from their original position and started approaching Chu Fang's master from behind.

On the stage, Chu Fang was full of fighting spirit.

"Su Chen, I always wanted to ask, since when did you and the heroines start to hear my inner voice?"

Chu Fang decided to ask the final question, always hanging in his heart.

"Since the beginning!"

Su Chen replied almost instantly like it was something insignificant.

"I see!"

"I see, No wonder all those girls always managed to run away from me."

"They could hear my lustful thoughts all along, haha!"

"And here I thought there was something wrong with my charm."

Chu Fang exclaimed full of sarcasm.

"Actually, you are a good person, I admit you are more intelligent, crafty, sensible and understand people's hearts more clearly than me!"

"But you had to always compete against me and violate my bottom line time and again."

"If it comes to women, I am never going to compro...."

Before Chu Fang could finish his sentence, Su Chen interrupted him.

"Enough of your chit-chat, I am going to make my move."

"If you die while standing and talking endlessly, don't cry with regrets in your afterlife."

Su Chen sneered before suddenly moving forward.

-His eyes were more determined than ever.
