Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 422 - 418: Rejecting Recruitment Again

"What’s going on with her? It’s obvious that someone under the Goddess Qingyu has taken a liking to this person."

"But hasn’t there been time to win them over yet?"

"Besides, a hundred Middle Grade Divine Crystals—if they really had that kind of capital, why would they be waiting here to give it away for free?"

"Didn’t Goddess Qingxue say that even a hundred Middle Grade Divine Crystals are precious to them?"

However, these words were quickly refuted by the others.

"Goddess Qingxue just returned from the Lower Realm not too long ago and hasn’t seen much of good items. Maybe she herself isn’t favored and hasn’t seen so many divine crystals, so she thinks even Goddess Qingyu can’t afford that many."

"Hmph, how can she compare to Goddess Qingyu? Goddess Qingyu is the most talented and favored by the Divine King among us."

Unexpectedly, just as he was speaking up for Li Qingyu, the recruiter turned and began questioning Xia Feng.

"Do you know Goddess Qingxue?"

Xia Feng nodded, seemingly curious about what he would say.

The recruiter’s face held a hint of contemplation as he sized up Xia Feng and then reluctantly started to speak.

"Since you know Goddess Qingxue, I’ll sell you this opportunity for a hundred Lower Grade Divine Crystals."

Xia Feng was taken aback, not expecting this guy to try to negotiate the price with him.

But he had already rejected Li Qingyu once, so he certainly wasn’t going to rush to take this opportunity now.

Instead, the people around him were filled with envy at his appearance.

"Just a hundred Lower Grade Divine Crystals to see Goddess Qingyu? What kind of luck did this kid run into?"

Some people were indifferent, even skeptical of the initial hundred Middle Grade Divine Crystal price.

"How dare a mere registrar make such a huge decision?"

"Could it be that it was only a hundred Lower Grade Divine Crystals from the start, and you secretly inflated the price to pocket the difference?"

The registrar’s eyes quickly flashed with guilt but soon forcibly reasserted himself: "How can you think of me like that?"

"I’m afraid of losing talent; that’s why I privately adjusted the price."

"But with Goddess Qingyu’s magnanimity, she’d probably understand that I altered the price for such an excellent individual, and she wouldn’t scold me."

Upon hearing this, people around cast envious looks towards Xia Feng again, seemingly puzzled at why this kid had attracted the registrar’s attention to such a risky extent.

Xia Feng remained largely indifferent, taking a step forward to the registrar: "Register two spots for the arena for me."

The registrar was startled, instinctively speaking: "You don’t have to do this. With your talent, once you meet Goddess Qingyu, you’ll definitely get an opportunity to enter the Secret Realm."

"Why compete for spots here? Even though you’re strong, there might still be others who could create unforeseen risks."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at him: "Ha, you’re quite the talker."

"You’re peddling for your master to the point of matching the Baihua Building’s madam in the city."

He curled his lips into a playful smile: "Your legitimate work here is to register, not to pimp for Li Qingyu. Now finish your legitimate work first."

The crowd erupted instantly.

"Oh my, how can he dare speak like this?"

"Does he not know who Goddess Qingyu is?"

"He’s doomed, he’s doomed. Goddess Qingyu might have a good temper, but her suitors certainly won’t spare him."

Xia Feng glanced disdainfully at the people around, growing more impatient: "Hurry up with the registration."

The registrar’s face turned different shades, frozen there for quite a while.

Since handling affairs for Li Qingyu, he’d lorded around using her name, and no one had ever dared talk to him like that.

After some time, he finally returned to his senses, still unwillingly asking, "Are you really not going to consider it?"

"This is a golden opportunity to reach the top!"

Others might not know, but he was well aware that Li Qingyu needed talent, desperately needed it.

She had him recruit capable individuals here for her, with potential benefits if successfully done.

Regarding the earlier mention of a hundred Middle Grade Divine Crystals, that was just his own little greed.

Li Qingyu eagerly desired talent; she wouldn’t charge these talented people for opportunities.

However, if someone foolishly spent a hundred Middle Grade Divine Crystals to buy this so-called opportunity, Li Qingyu would still see them.

After all, she really lacked resources too.

The registrar shuddered; if Li Qingyu found out his greed cost her such excellent talent, he probably wouldn’t get to work for her again.

The opposite Xia Feng showed a bit of impatience: "Can you hurry up with the registration? There are so many people waiting."

"What’s wrong? Now that soliciting didn’t work, you’re resorting to coercion?"

"If I don’t give you the hundred divine crystals, can I not even sign up?"

"Tsk, what’s Celestial Sword Divine King’s deal with openly exploiting like this?"

He pretended to take out divine crystals from his storage ring, startling the registrar across from him.

With so many onlookers, who knew if any spies for other Divine Kings lurked among them?

If rumors spread tarnishing Celestial Sword Divine King’s name, he could die a million times and not atone for it.

He quickly explained, "No, no, I just lost my concentration for a moment, wondering who’s bold enough to turn down a chance to meet the Divine Maiden."

As he talked, he begrudgingly registered the spots for Xia Feng.

Occasionally, he muttered ambiguous remarks to slander Xia Feng.

Once he completed the registration and handed the two assessment tokens to Xia Feng, he still subtly maligned him.

"I wonder where this gentleman is from, to dare dismiss the Divine Maiden of Celestial Sword Divine Domain."

"Do you realize the opportunity you forfeited? You’ll regret it in the future."

The surrounding crowd gazed at Xia Feng with curious eyes, seemingly questioning his reason for refusing to see Goddess Qingyu.

Xia Feng grinned, a bit of an audacious smile on his handsome face.

"Why would I see some Li Qingyu? In my heart, my Qingxue is the most beautiful."

After saying that, he happily stored the tokens and turned to walk towards Li Qingxue.

The surrounding people paused for a moment, then began discussing in disbelief.
