Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 984 - 983: Betrayed by Rao Mei

After a long while, when the three old folks had had their fill of wine, the slightly chubby elder said, "Alright, young lady, what's the matter? Speak up!"

The other two old folks also turned their gaze toward Rao Mei.

Rao Mei said, "Second Grandpa, I want to recommend someone to enter the Divine Tower!"

"Hmm?"

The three old folks immediately focused on Rao Mei, and another elder said, "Young lady, have you gone mad? You're thinking of recommending someone to the Divine Tower? Do you know what you're saying?"

Rao Mei nodded and said, "Third Uncle, I know what I'm saying, and I can responsibly tell you, I'm not joking. Moreover, the person I've recommended is no ordinary individual, perhaps even the one you've been waiting for all this time!"

The elderly lady then said in a deep voice, "Young lady, you know that if the person enters the Divine Tower and passes the Tower's test, he will become our Divine Tower Pavilion's Young Master. But if he fails, he'll be scattered in soul, and even we will be implicated, so..."

The elderly lady paused here, not finishing her sentence, as she knew Rao Mei understood the gravity of the situation.

Second Grandpa then added, "Young lady, all these years, our Divine Tower Pavilion experts have been spread across the entire Immortal Domain searching for suitable individuals, and none have been found. And now, you suddenly come saying you want to recommend someone to the Divine Tower? Don't you think this is too reckless?"

After a slight pause, Second Grandpa continued, "Moreover, you know very well we only have one chance, so regardless of the situation, we can't take risks..."

The three old folks thought, having advised her this much, Rao Mei would surely give up on her idea.

However...

To their surprise, Rao Mei still insisted on her opinion, saying, "Second Grandpa, Third Uncle, Elder Granny, please trust me. The person I'm recommending won't disappoint you!"

The three of them exchanged glances, seeing deep concern in each other's eyes.

They were very aware Rao Mei was a cautious person.

But today seemed somewhat unusual.

Could it be, the person this young lady is recommending truly has some extraordinary qualities?

Then, Second Grandpa said, "Alright, give me a copy of the information on the person you're recommending. I want to see who can make you regard them so highly."

"Okay!"

Rao Mei had already prepared Lin Fan's relevant information and respectfully handed a Jade Scroll to Second Grandpa.

With a sweep of Immortal Consciousness, Second Grandpa immediately saw the contents within.

Then, Third Uncle and Elder Granny also looked over Lin Fan's information.

After the three exchanged glances again, Second Grandpa said, "I must say, the person you recommended indeed has outstanding talent, but with such qualifications, he may not necessarily enter our Divine Tower."

Rao Mei asked, "Then what does he have to do?"

This time, Second Grandpa didn't speak, instead Elder Granny said, "It's simple, unless... he can pass our test!"

Rao Mei asked again, "What kind of test?"

Elder Granny said, "Naturally, it's a very brutal test. You have to think carefully, as the test we give him is extremely harsh too. If he can successfully pass the test, he'll earn the chance to enter the Divine Tower, but if he doesn't pass, then... he will only face death!"

"In our test, it's either success or death; there's absolutely no third way!"

"So, you have one last chance; you should consider carefully!"

Elder Granny said this, seriously looking at Rao Mei.

And after hearing Elder Granny's words, Rao Mei hesitated for a moment.

She wanted to recommend Lin Fan to enter the Divine Tower.

But, to be honest, deep down she was very worried too, afraid Lin Fan would fail, as then there would be no doubting Lin Fan's death.

Elder Granny again said, "Alright, young lady, go back and discuss it well with the person you're recommending. Come back to us at this time tomorrow with a reply; if he's willing, we can arrange the test!"

Rao Mei gritted her teeth at this moment and said, "No, this matter cannot be known to him!"

"Oh?"

The three were a bit puzzled and looked at Rao Mei.

Rao Mei's face showed a determined expression as she continued, "Though making the decision for him is too cruel, it is his opportunity, so I plan to let him accept your test!"

"This..."

The three showed a bit of hesitation, and Third Uncle said, "Young lady, isn't it inappropriate for you to decide without his consent?"

Rao Mei said, "I truly intend for his benefit."

After a brief pause, Rao Mei again firmly stated, "If anything happens to him, I'm willing to die with him, a life for a life. If he dies, I will absolutely not live alone!"

Elder Granny, upon hearing Rao Mei's words, suddenly laughed and said, "I understand what's going on!"

"Ah?"

Rao Mei and the two old fellows looked at Elder Granny in shock. Second Grandpa asked, "What do you mean? What do you understand?"

"Hehe..."

Elder Granny laughed strangely again and said, "It turns out, the young lady we've nurtured all along has developed mundane sentiments. Ah, truly, a grown daughter can't be kept!"

Rao Mei's face suddenly turned red, and she said, "Elder Granny, you're speaking nonsense. I don't have such feelings. If you continue speaking nonsensically, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Haha!"

The three old folks immediately burst into laughter after hearing Rao Mei's words.

Lin Fan naturally didn't know he had been "sold" by Rao Mei.

At this time, Lin Fan was peacefully sleeping, rare for him not to be in cultivation.

Meanwhile, Rao Mei stood outside, her face showing a plethora of expressions, clearly indicating her inner conflict.

After a long time, Rao Mei thought to herself, "Mu Yi, I'm sorry, really sorry, I'm doing this for your benefit, not harm..."

Mu Yi is an alias for Lin Fan.

While Lin Fan was asleep, at a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Because just a moment ago, Lin Fan seemed to feel a danger suddenly locking on to his surroundings.

There's no denying Lin Fan's sensing power, which has reached an extraordinary level that even while sleeping he can sense danger nearby.

At this moment, Elder Granny quietly stood in the shadows, the space around her completely distorted so that nobody could see her presence.

Elder Granny thought to herself, "It seems this boy indeed has some exceptional qualities; he can sense my arrival? No wonder that young lady Rao Mei values him so highly? Hehe, hopefully, he won't disappoint. If he indeed passes our Divine Tower's test, then our years of waiting would have a good conclusion!"

Then, around Elder Granny, invisible energy suddenly dispersed toward Lin Fan.
