Beauty and the Bodyguard



10651 Chapter 10640-

However, this difficulty was only for other cultivators. For existences like them who had the qualifications to be big shots, it was basically free.

After all, if they couldn’t even hold a seat, what were they doing here?

“Since there are no questions, let’s start drawing lots.”

As soon as Gu jiumu finished speaking, all of the candidates, including Lin Yi, released a tangible aura from their heads and poured into a transparent container.

Those who had a higher standard among the crowd immediately reacted.

The heaven fate bottle.

It was said that this bottle contained heaven’s secrets, and nothing inside could be fathomed. Even the most powerful expert could not see through it.

In other words, when using the heaven’s secrets bottle to draw lots, no one, including a top figure like Gu jiumu, could do anything to it. It was enough to ensure absolute fairness.

As 14 solidified auras were injected into it, the heaven secrets bottle immediately began to operate.

Soon, the first aura appeared.

Chu zhengqing was overjoyed to see that it was his aura.

In other words, he would be the first person to try out the seat.

It was true that the first person to take the crab in this situation might not necessarily have any advantage, and even had a high possibility of becoming cannon fodder.

After all, no one knew what kind of person the tenth seat was.

He was the first, which meant that there was no information about him at all. The information related to him was completely blank.

On the other hand, the people at the back were able to collect first-hand information based on his reaction and make targeted adjustments.

From this point of view, Chu zhengqing’s first place was not a good fortune at all. On the contrary, it was the worst draw.

However, as mentioned just now, no one knew what the tenth seat was like. In other words, it might be extremely unfriendly to the first person to try it out, but at the same time, it might also be extremely beneficial to the first person.

What if it only acknowledged the first person who sat on it?

Or could it be that the difficulty would gradually increase, and the higher the ranking, the more advantageous it would be?

This was not impossible. In fact, it was very likely. After all, many treasures recognized their Masters in this way.

Chu zhengqing glanced at Chu hantian subconsciously.

He could not write two Chu’s in one stroke. Strictly speaking, the Chu clan he was from and the Chu clan behind Chu hantian were not completely unrelated.

Both of them originated from the same ancestor, and although they had long since separated, they were still related by blood.

He had wanted to use this relationship to gain Chu hantian’s favor. With Chu hantian’s influence as a top-tier Big Shot, as long as he was willing to help him, he would definitely be able to rise to the heavens in a single step!

But from the start to the end, not only did Chu hantian ignore his request for a visit, he didn’t even look at him from the moment he entered the hall up until now. Instead, he gave Lin Yi wine in front of everyone!

The huge difference in treatment really made Chu zhengqing feel depressed!

No matter how you looked at it, he was closer to Lin Yi than Lin Yi, right?

Besides, everyone knew that Gu jiumu treated Lin Yi differently-he was already labeled as Gu jiumu’s ally, and for Chu hantian to be nice to him at a time like this was no different from throwing flirtatious eyes at a blind man.

He didn’t mind losing to Lin Yi in terms of strength.

At the very least, he didn’t have the confidence to take advantage of the former Big Shot nie yongnian.

But to say that even his potential wasn’t as high as Lin Yi’s, even with the advantage of blood, he still wasn’t as important as Lin Yi in Chu hantian’s eyes. He couldn’t accept this!

However, Chu zhengqing still didn’t see any response from Chu hantian. Instead, he yawned lazily, as if there was nothing worth paying attention to even if he had drawn the first lot.

From Chu hantian’s performance, he was sure that Chu zhengqing was just cannon fodder for show. There was nothing to see.

It was better to hurry down and let the next person come up.

This is too much!

Chu zhengqing gritted his teeth and walked toward the tenth chair.

The more Chu hantian acted like he didn’t care, the more he wanted to prove himself. He wanted to let this top-tier Big Shot who had eyes but couldn’t see experience what it was like to be slapped in the face in public!

The tenth seat was the same as the other nine big shots. It was on the high platform, directly opposite the first seat, Kong shenglin.

There were a total of twenty-three steps from where everyone was standing to the high platform where the tenth chair was.

At first glance, there was nothing special about it except that it was a little higher.

However, the moment Chu zhengqing stepped onto the stairs, his body suddenly sank and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

All of a sudden, the look in everyone’s eyes changed.

Those who were invited here were undoubtedly the best of the best. Even if the invisible pressure of the nine big shots made people breathless, after a short adjustment, everyone could basically adapt.

Chu zhengqing was no exception.

In fact, Chu zhengqing’s performance wasn’t the most outstanding, but he wasn’t the most embarrassed, either.

In terms of overall strength, he should be in the middle of the group.

However, such a person who could basically represent everyone’s average strength had actually knelt down on the first step!

The shock that this scene brought to everyone was no less than the moment when they had just entered the meeting hall!

The slight contempt he had unconsciously felt because the trial rules were too simple immediately disappeared without a trace.

It was only now that everyone realized why the Supreme Board of Directors had given such a simple and even child’s play rule. There was only one reason-the weight of the tenth seat.

Even without any additional rules, the weight of the tenth seat alone was enough to crush most of them.

To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.

For a moment, everyone’s expression turned grave.

Just when everyone thought that was the end of Chu zhengqing, he struggled to stand up again. He turned to look at Chu hantian on the other platform, then took a step forward with difficulty and climbed the second step.

Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven!

Judging from the situation just now, even if Chu zhengqing could still struggle, he would be an arrow at the end of its flight.

However, the result was unexpected. He seemed to have adapted to the pressure from the steps in the next few steps and walked more and more steadily.

It wasn’t just the people who were observing from below, even he himself revealed a somewhat surprised expression.

But then again, everyone present was a Dragon among men. It was not strange for them to burst out with any kind of potential under great pressure, not to mention that Chu zhengqing was not a salted fish who had fallen to the bottom.
