Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Suppressed by Lord Starfall himself?

Xiao Ye’s eyes widened in utter surprise upon hearing Jiu Zhu’s words. Why would Lord Starfall do such a thing? It was as if he wished to see Xiao Ye struggle under the oppression of two great monsters.

Of course, Jiu Zhu could discern Xiao Ye’s confusion. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "In the eyes of Lord Starfall, you are nothing but a piece of rough jade that lacks sculpting."

"He hopes that through Xiang Nan and Mo Ye’s challenges, your potential can be thoroughly excavated. Indeed, it wasn’t long before your strength skyrocketed to the point where you were able to defeat Guo Tao."

Xiao Ye’s heart trembled at these words: "I see, I never expected Lord Starfall to have such high hopes for me. So, it’s also Lord Starfall’s intention that I should not refuse the challenges from Xiang Nan and Mo Ye during the competition?"

Jiu Zhu shook his head: "Of course not, that was merely my personal suggestion."

"I can only tell you, if you do not reject their challenges, even if you fail, as long as you perform excellently, your future will be boundless."

Xiao Ye held his breath, his heart aflame with excitement, yet even more puzzled by Jiu Zhu’s words. How would a good performance in the competition relate to his future?

Xiao Ye pressed for answers, but Jiu Zhu was unwilling to elaborate further, only mentioning that this matter was related to Lord Starfall’s secret.

"Alright." Xiao Ye nodded helplessly. He had never intended to avoid the challenges from Xiang Nan and Mo Ye in the first place.
