"Wait a moment!"
Chen Nan suddenly frowned, "You said before that if the competition required forging weapons, you would provide me with ores?"
"That's not right!"
"Isn't this competition itself about forging weapons?"
Dai Yuan smiled, "The competition rules are provided by the Xue Kingdom, and whether this competition's rules involve forging weapons or not, no one knows for sure right now!"
"Regardless, it's related to forging weapons!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly, then seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "The Empress won't be coming, will she?"
The Empress was the emperor of the Xue Kingdom!
Chen Nan did not want to see her!
If she came!
Then he would have to refuse to participate, no matter what!
He absolutely could not let the Empress see him!
Otherwise, it would be trouble!
Thinking of what happened in the Land of Creation!
A strong sense of shame surged in his heart!
"The Empress is one of the eight supreme beings of the human race, an unparalleled existence!"
"Why would she attend such a small friendly match?"
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief!
As long as the Empress didn't come, then participating in the competition would be no problem!
"Prepare yourself well, and I'll take you to the imperial palace in three days," Dai Yuan said, then turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the back mountain!

Flying Heaven Sect!
"What? Lan Lan's legs were severed?"
Chu Xu was furious upon hearing that his daughter's legs had been cut off!
"Who is it? Who dares to be so arrogant as to sever my daughter's legs?"
Chu Yelan was carried in, weeping, "Father, it was Chen Nan, a disciple of the Sword Forging Academy!"
"You are Lan Lan?"
Chu Xu looked at his daughter in disbelief!
Her face was so swollen it looked like a pig's head!
A horrific sight!
"Father, Chen Nan has gone too far!"
"I merely wanted to buy his weapon manual, and he slapped my face and even severed my legs!"
"You must avenge your daughter!" Chu Yelan cried, tears streaming down her face!
"Damn it!"
Chu Xu erupted with overwhelming killing intent, "Doesn't he know that you are Chu Xu's daughter, the little princess of the Flying Heaven Sect?"
Chu Yelan sobbed, "I told him, but he completely disregarded the Flying Heaven Sect!"
Chu Xu's eyes turned cold, like a rampaging beast, "Daughter, rest assured, your father will definitely seek justice for you. I will certainly sever Chen Nan's legs and avenge you!"
"Quick, quick, fetch the best spirit medicine!"
After giving the order, he took out a communication jade slip and contacted Dai Yuan, "Dean Dai, does your academy's Chen Nan injure my beloved daughter and sever her legs? Are you aware of this?"
"What? Something like this has happened!" Dai Yuan pretended to be shocked!
Chu Xu let out a heavy cold snort, "Dean Dai, I hope you will send Chen Nan to my Flying Heaven Sect. He injured my beloved daughter and must pay a terrible price!"
"I don't want my Flying Heaven Sect disciples to go to the Sword Forging Academy to arrest him!"
"That would be too embarrassing for you!"
Dai Yuan pondered for a moment, then said with some difficulty, "Sect Master Chu, you might not know, but Chen Nan has already registered for the friendly match with the Xue Kingdom, and the list has been sent to the imperial palace!"
"At this time, are you sure you want to eliminate Chen Nan?"
Before Chu Xu could speak, Chu Yelan's shriek rang out, "What right does he have to participate in the friendly match with the young generation of the Xue Kingdom?"
"Dai Yuan, it's you, it must be you!"
"You let him register for the friendly match between the young generations of the two countries, didn't you?"
They all knew!
Once Chen Nan registered for the friendly match between the young generations of the two countries, even if they wanted revenge, they would have to wait until after the competition!
If they killed Chen Nan now!
Emperor Yan would surely be enraged at the Flying Heaven Sect!
Although the Flying Heaven Sect was the foremost sect within the Yan Kingdom!
In front of Emperor Yan, life and death were merely a matter of his words!
Therefore!
To seek revenge, they could only wait until the friendly match between the two countries ended!
And before Chen Nan had made a brilliant showing!
If he was lucky and shone brightly in the competition!
Revenge???
Heh heh!
That would become an unrealistic prospect!
After all, everyone knew that Emperor Yan had a heart that cherished talent!
If he truly gained Emperor Yan's approval!
Revenge would only be something to dream about!
"Miss Chu, please respect me!" Dai Yuan's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, "As the dean of the Sword Forging Academy, I, Dai Yuan, have always conducted myself with integrity and acted openly. Why would I let Chen Nan register for the friendly match between the two countries?"
"Is he the only disciple of my Sword Forging Academy?"
"Clearly, you are the victim!"
"Why would I favor him?"
"Can you give me a reason for favoring him?"
Chu Yelan was speechless!
"Dean Dai, my daughter is seriously injured and emotionally unstable. Please don't take her words to heart!" Chu Xu took a deep breath and then said, "Since Chen Nan has registered for the friendly match between the two countries, let's deal with this matter after the friendly match concludes."
"Alright!"
Then Chu Xu broke off the communication, cursing in exasperation, "This Dai Yuan is truly not a good person. He must have let Chen Nan participate in the friendly match between the two countries!"
Chu Xu was not foolish!
Chen Nan had just severed his daughter's legs, and then he registered for the friendly match between the two countries!
He wouldn't believe it if someone told him there was no ulterior motive!
"Father, I want Chen Nan dead, dead now!" Chu Yelan clenched her fists, her eyes filled with astonishing killing intent!
Chu Xu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember Li Aohan of the Xue Kingdom?"
Chu Yelan thought for a moment and said, "If I recall correctly, Li Aohan came last time for the friendly match between the two countries, and he also pursued me!"
Chu Yelan possessed world-shattering beauty!
Furthermore, whether it was cultivation talent, artifact forging talent!
Or family background, she was the best among her peers!
It was difficult for someone like her not to attract attention!
Chu Xu said, "I heard that Li Aohan has become the number one prodigy in the artifact forging world of the Xue Kingdom!"
"He now possesses the strength of a Level Seven artifact master!"
"Let alone in the Xue Kingdom, even in the entire Immortal Realm, he is a peerless figure among the younger generation!"
"Given time, he will surely be able to forge divine artifacts!"
"Become a Level Nine artifact master!"
"Before, I received a message from the Li family, Li Aohan still likes you!"
"What I mean is, you two can get along."
"After all, the Li family is a prestigious clan in the Xue Kingdom!"
"Li Aohan's aunt is a favored confidante of the Empress!"
"If you are with Li Aohan!"
"You can completely use Li Aohan's influence!"
"To eliminate Chen Nan in the friendly match between the two countries!"
Chu Yelan's heart was in turmoil!
She vaguely remembered that during the last friendly match between the two countries, Li Aohan was still an artifact forging apprentice!
Who would have thought that after a thousand years of not seeing each other, he would become the number one prodigy in the Xue Kingdom's artifact forging world!
"Father, my legs are now crippled, will Li Aohan still like me?" After regaining her senses, a bitter smile appeared on Chu Yelan's face!
Chu Xu said, "Our Flying Heaven Sect has many spirit medicines that can completely heal your legs!"
"It's just..."
Chu Yelan couldn't help but ask, "It's just what?"
Chu Xu sighed softly, "I heard that Li Aohan is extremely lustful and absurd, often exchanging wives with others!"
"If you are with him, you might be wronged in the future."
A meaningful smile appeared on Chu Yelan's face, "Don't worry, Father. If I have any other skills, my best one is controlling a man's heart!"
"Isn't it easy to make Li Aohan my devoted follower?!"
