Chapter 928: An Unexpected Auction
[1]
"Understood, Your Majesty." Tang San responded to the Sunborne Nymph Emperor with due respect, though inwardly he felt puzzled. From his interlocutor's tone, it sounded like he no longer believed Tang San had much chance of becoming an Emperor. This was a clear shift in attitude. Previously, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor had seemed quite eager to support his rise, clearly hoping to benefit from it. But now, that support seemed to have cooled down.
Still, this wasn't something he could question directly. It likely had to do with the discussions between the Sunborne Nymph Emperor and the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor. Celestial Fox again...Should I go visit him in person and try to persuade him? No... Better not stir up new complications just yet.
At least on the surface, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor was still supporting him. If he were to approach the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor now, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor would surely notice—and it could easily raise doubts. He couldn't afford to play the wrong hand right now. He had to proceed carefully.
So what if it's the Battle for the Throne? I need to win this one anyway. Bring it on.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor seemed to be deep in thought. After a long pause, he finally said, "Anyway, I expect you to compete. Before the tournament starts, come find me. I have something for you."
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty," Tang San quickly replied.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor actually rolled his eyes. "You really know how to take advantage of a situation, don't you? Whatever, I'll see you later."
The temperature in the room suddenly rose slightly, then the Emperor vanished into thin air. At his level, even without a natural affinity for space, he could still wield spatial power to some degree.
