Chapter 853: Heart and Retreat (Seeking monthly votes)

Su Xuan's meaning in sending a voice transmission to Xu Jin was very simple, which was to express his gratitude; he would hand over his rewards this time to Xu Jin to express his heart.

Looking at what Xu Jin needed, he would choose what reward, and then hand it to Xu Jin.

This voice transmission directly stunned Xu Jin.

He completely didn't expect such a thing.

He didn't expect Su Xuan to have such a heart.

It couldn't be said to be happy, but the feeling was still very comfortable.

At the moment, Xu Jin refused.

The general idea was that he accepted the heart, and let Su Xuan choose the rewards he needed himself.

But Su Xuan was very firm in his attitude, sending a voice transmission again.

His strength couldn't compare to Uncle Xu Jin, and it was generally difficult to help Xu Jin, so he wanted to take this opportunity to express his heart and requested Xu Jin to give him a chance.

This made a little doubt surface in Xu Jin's heart.

Su Xuan didn't know how to speak or handle things so well before; at the beginning, he was even reluctant to call him Uncle.

However, people will change, and Xu Jin didn't think much about it.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin accepted Su Xuan's kindness and asked Su Xuan to help him exchange for a thousand-year Purple Origin Bodhi branch from the Class A rewards; this was what Xu Jin needed relatively urgently at the moment.

As for the three Class B rewards, Xu Jin let Su Xuan use them himself; the Class B rewards were really not of much help to Xu Jin at the moment.

Xu Jin himself had many.

Su Xuan didn't insist either.

And the reason Xu Jin accepted it was not really because he was urgently lacking this thousand-year Purple Origin Bodhi branch, but mainly because he didn't want to raise an enemy.

Letting Su Xuan pay something also had benefits, which could deepen the relationship with the Commander Tian Zhang

Not long after, Xu Jin obtained the rewards he had selected and then rendezvoused with True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

Next, Xu Jin needed to consider his cultivation direction and plan for this month.

Inside the Profound Heaven Imperial Palace, after verifying the data of all candidates, True Person Zhenjun Tianfa was about to leave his office, but just as he was about to depart, a divine soul transmission suddenly rang out in his mind.

The instant the transmission sounded, True Person Zhenjun Tianfa abruptly stood solemnly and bowed toward the depths of the Imperial Palace, "Your subordinate pays respects to the Imperial Venerable."

"No need for excessive formalities. I have summoned you because there is a matter I need you to arrange."

"Please, Imperial Venerable, give your instructions. Your subordinate will surely sacrifice everything to accomplish them."

"That is an exaggeration."

The light laughter of Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan rang in True Person Zhenjun Tianfa's mind, "One month from now, this year's Imperial Palace candidates will enter the Star Ruins. You know that there are too many uncontrollable situations in the Star Ruins, and it is fraught with danger.

But as for that He Moyu, I hope he can survive to complete the final selection round. Do you understand?"

"Your subordinate understands! Before they enter the Star Ruins, I will pass down this order." After True Person Zhenjun Tianfa said this, he thought of something and immediately added, "I will give instructions to those Imperial Princes and True Persons in my own capacity and send out some favors.

I believe that given my status, the Imperial Princes and True Persons guarding the Star Ruins will grant me this face."

"Not bad. As long as you arrange this matter well, you may also conduct inspections when necessary," Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan instructed again.

"Your subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Imperial Venerable."

"Mm, I trust you with this task."

Having said this, Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan's voice and aura vanished in an instant. Although True Person Zhenjun Tianfa breathed a sigh of relief, he maintained a respectful demeanor on his face, and as starlight flickered beneath his feet, he quickly left the Imperial Palace, skimming the ground.

Yet, in his mind, he had already begun to ponder this matter.

First, the one thing he confirmed was that the Imperial Venerable attached great importance to He Moyu—extremely great importance.

So much so that he personally greeted him to ask for help.

Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan not greeting the subordinates himself, but instead having him handle it, was actually a sign of truly extreme importance toward He Moyu.

Conversely, if Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan had greeted them personally, that would not be the case.

For the Imperial Venerable to personally greet the Imperial Princes and True Persons guarding the Star Ruins would be too heavy-handed.

If something went wrong, He Moyu might have had a chance to come out alive, but once the greeting was made, he would instead be one hundred percent certain to die in battle!

Would the Imperial Venerable punish them?

How would he punish them?

On the battlefield, it is perfectly normal to have casualties.

Can others die, but He Moyu cannot?

But conversely, with True Person Zhenjun Tianfa giving the greeting, the guarding Imperial Princes and the group of True Persons would truly exert themselves to protect He Moyu.

The Imperial Venerable understood this nuance, and True Person Zhenjun Tianfa understood it too.

So the question arises: why does Imperial Venerable Emperor Dongxuan attach such importance to He Moyu?

Enough to privately have him look after He Moyu?

In an instant, True Person Zhenjun Tianfa thought of He Moyu's performance in the final round of today's assessment.

Fragments of the Time Dao?

Does the Imperial Venerable value He Moyu's talent for comprehending the Time Dao?

Does the Imperial Venerable want to walk the Time Dao?

Or perhaps he wants to use the Time Dao fragments to achieve certain goals?

Or is it related to him going a step further?

In a single thought, True Person Zhenjun Tianfa grasped many things.

But for now, at least in the short term, the things he grasped were useless.

His current goal is to step onto the Imperial Venerable Dao.

If he could obtain the Thunder-type Chaos Origin Material in Xu Jin's hands, his Zhenjun Tianfa Thunder Eye divine ability would reach completion, and his certainty of stepping onto the Imperial Venerable Dao would increase by half a percent or one percent.

But if he obtained the Killing Star Art from the Seven Kills inheritance in Xu Jin's hands, or even a portion of the Seven Kills inheritance, the significance would be even more different.

The assistance to him might be even greater.

Suddenly, as the starlight beneath True Person Zhenjun Tianfa's feet fluctuated, joy appeared in the depths of his eyes!

Heaven helps me!

Truly, Heaven helps me!

Previously, because of Xu Jin's performance, True Person Zhenjun Tianfa had been quite worried.

After all, being first in the first two rounds and second in the comprehensive assessment had definitely caught the Imperial Venerable's eye and received the Imperial Venerable's attention.

If he died in battle, the Imperial Venerable would inevitably pay extra attention.

This would greatly increase the difficulty of their scheme.

But the Imperial Venerable's specific instructions today proved that the Imperial Venerable's attention was mainly focused on He Moyu.

There were no special instructions for Xu Jin, who was in second place.
