Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-206

Many people reacted differently to this meeting after it ended. The first of which was the Association of Chamber of Commerce.

Inside a private room full of formations, Xu Shi was speaking with a middle-aged man. The man had a big belly, but he was dressed in very luxurious clothes.

Unlike the other Heaven Chosens who were low-key luxurious, the clothes of this man were extremely showy. At just one glance, one could tell that his clothes were made of the highest level of golden silk. He had many rings on his fingers that shined brightly, and many jade pieces all over his body.

Adding on top of that his fat body, you could tell this person had never worked hard in his entire life and enjoyed his life to the fullest. Of course, no one would dare complain about how tacky this guy was. And this was not because of his high status, but also the fact that he was actually a Saint True Person.

"Father," said Xu Shi to the fat middle-aged guy. "What do you think I should do now?"

"Daughter, we should look at things from a more rational point of view."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Shi's father took a sip from a wine jar before he elaborate:

"Well, personally, I think the best choice should be the number 1 Absolute Chaos Physique, Lin Fan."

"Why? According to our information, he is currently the weakest among all the top Heaven Chosens?"

"Daughter, you are looking at things too superficially. Let's take a look at each one individually.

"Crown Prince Ji Song has already suffered two catastrophic defeats from Sacred Son Wang Wei. Although he seemed to have recovered and even further strengthened his power, he has yet to prove himself again to the world.

"Then, there is the Innate Sword Bone, Jian Wushuang. He is very talented and has even won a battle against Su Ya during their Qi Luck Trial. However, I don't really trust these people who practice the Sword Dao. Their wills are usually extremely strong, and they sometimes love their swords more than their own companion. Not to mention this Jian Wushuang has to deal with the burden or shame that the Sword Casting Vila suffered at the end of Sect Master Wang Tian in the last generation."

Xu Shi's father, X Guan then took another sip of his drink and placed a piece of fruit in his mouth.

"Then, there is this Sun Jiaolong. I will not mention the snakes of the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty, but this guy killed his own blood brother in order to acquire power. Daughter, do you think that such a person will truly protect and even sacrifice great things for you? I reckon that he would easily sell you to someone else if it benefits him.

"Although you would benefit greatly if it turns out it is true that Sun Jiaolong is the owner of the Human Destiny Sword, however, there has been no way to confirm this news. And many people are starting to believe that the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty has released this news as a form of a scheme."

The room then became quiet for a brief moment before Xu Shi said: "What don't you say anything about Wang Wei?"

Xu Guan looked at his daughter deeply. "Daughter, you should be perfectly aware that Sacred Son Wang Wei has no interest in you. Although he would be the perfect candidate, it's unfortunate."

Xu Shi paused for a while, then she bit her lower lips. "Father, what if I first seduce Li Jun, then slowly find ways to get to Wang Wei. I mean, according to the information we have gathered on him, he seemed to be as lascivious as Lin Fan."

However, Shi Guan shook his head after this plan.

"Don't look at Li Jun looking like an imbecile that uses the thing in his pants to think instead of his head. As the person closest to Wang Wei, he is a very intelligent person and is also a person of great will. According to our information, his records were only second in the Pagoda Trials.

"Although we do not know exactly what these trials were, just the fact that they were able to cultivate Wang Wei into a Young Emperor showed their effectiveness. Do you think that a person that has the second-best record on these trials will be a person of weak will that can be easily manipulated?"

"Not to mention that Li Jun has sworn his undying and unwavering loyalty to his big brother, Wang Wei. According to our Association's analysis of him, he would not hesitate to kill anyone that stands in the way of Wang Wei's Path of Emperor--even his current companion, Yan Liling."

Xu Shi was silent after hearing this. She knew that her father was correct, but she just could not accept it. Well, in general terms, Xu Shi suffered from the same disease that many women have; they want what they could not have.

"Is there no better solution than Lin Fan?"

As a matter of fact, Xu Shi does not have any real problem with Lin Fan. He was one of the few people that stood up for her when Wang Wei said these hurtful words. He seemed polite and romantic--well at least to Xu Shi.

However, here comes the problem. This Lin Fan has a large harem that came from the Lower Realm with him. And after coming to the Myriad Emperor World, the number kept increasing.

Although this kind of practice is common in this world, Xu Shi does not really like it; she would prefer that the person that she chooses is only dedicated to her and she will not have to share her man with a bunch of other women.

"The other options are either Feng Heng from the Taiyi Profound Gate or Di Tian from the Di Family. However, neither of them showed up, meaning that neither of them is actually interested in you.

"And personally, I do not trust the character of either of those two. I always felt that something was wrong with the two of them."

Xu Guan noticed the frown on his daughter's face, so he walked to her and pat her shoulder:

"Lin Fan is a perfect choice. With your beauty and skill, it will be very easy for you to become the favorite of his harem and have him listen to you. However, remember what I have taught you, never try to actually control him.

"Heaven Chosens like Lin Fan, although they are easily influenced due to their lascivious nature, that is only in the early stage of cultivation. As they grow more powerful and experience more things. their Willpower and mental state will be greatly elevated.

"As such, he will then notice your manipulative nature and begin to be disgusted with you. All you have to do is make sure that you are the most beloved member of his harem, and Lin Fan will decide on his own volition to do 'absolutely' anything for you."

After pondering for a few seconds, Xu Shi nodded her head, "I'll listen to you than father."

Although she was not truly happy with the final choice, she could actually really understand the reasons behind it.

The Associate of Chamber of Commerce--which was led by her father in this generation--wanted to form a Marriage Alliance with a powerful Emperor Lineage during this generation's Glorious Age.

Their first choice was in fact the Dao Opening Sect, however, that plan fell through due to Wang Wei's lack of interest in Xu Shi.

So, the second-best option is of course the Emperor Enlightening Academy--which is considered the second most powerful faction of the Myriad Emperor World.

After sighing for a few seconds, Xu Shi removed the negative thoughts from her head. Since she made her choice, she will live with it and do the things that she is supposed to do.

After seeing his daughter regain her bearing, Shi Guan nodded in satisfaction before handing her a piece of paper.

"What is this?" asked Xu Shi in confusion.

"This is the expected improvement that Lin Fan will go through after the [Heaven Chosens Worthy Trial]."

Xu Shi read the entire parchment and she was quite surprised. According to what is written here, although Lin Fan is currently considered one of the weakest geniuses on the Heavenly Physique List, he also has the most room for improvement.

And the Academy has created a detailed plan for his improvement, and Lin Fan has lived up to the strict standards that the Academy has placed on him.

"Worthy of the Absolute Chaos Physique," muttered Xu Shi under her breath after reading the information on this paper.

"Father, how did you get such information? This should be the highest level of secrets of the Academy?"

"Well, let's just say that the Academy is more than welcome in our Alliance. After all, they would not want the Dao Opening Sect to become even more powerful than they already are."

Xu Shi nodded while at the same time reinforcing her belief that her choice was correct. One day, Lin Fan will prove to Wang Wei that his choice today was completely wrong.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Northern Black Tortoise Continent, many higher-ups of the Demon Race received news of what happened at the True Dragon Inn.

As such, a meeting similar to Xu Shi and Xu Guan was taking place in a secret location of the Demon Race.
