Chapter 146: A New Cooperation (2)

Jin Ling’er had yet to respond, but the guests on top of the high tower already understood Su Chen’s intention.

The tower was thrown into a clamor once again.

They began discussing Su Chen’s slyness.

“I’m completely convinced by this little demon. He can even think up such a plan,” someone sighed in praise.

“Yes, he can pretend to be Jin Ling’er’s guard while still possessing his own intellect and wits. He can pretend to be stiff and inflexible, then adapt in a critical moment. When they start fighting, people who are unaware of it will pay quite the price.”

“They could even take it a step further. Jing Ling’er could also find another person to control, hiding her strength until an opportune moment.”

“They can conceal the strength of two under one. No matter who they fight, their opponent will suffer a big loss.”

Everyone offered their thoughts on the situation, constantly praising Su Chen’s actions.

Of course, there were also those who mocked Su Chen, saying it didn’t matter what little tricks he played. In their eyes, his life was over the moment he offended the Pan Clan. Others argued that the Pan Clan was just a mixedblood clan and that if Su Chen wanted to find safety in their clan, they would gladly take him in.

Nobility Clans also possessed different statuses. Differentiating them between pureblood and mixedblood was the most common method of distinguishing them.

The person who spoke was an important individual in the pureblood Lu Clan. In the entire Three Mountains Regions, he could be considered unparalleled. When he extended his hand to support Su Chen, many followed after.

Those worried for Su Chen’s well-being, especially the ones from the Su Clan, felt as though a weight was lifted from their chests.

If they could obtain the protection of the Lu Clan, they could completely disregard the Pan Clan.

Su Cheng’an felt a rollercoaster of emotions these past few minutes. At this point, he wasn’t sure if he needed to find an opportunity to recognize this son of his again.

But this thought was quickly discarded. As an elder, he would never bow his head to his son; he simply couldn’t deal with the loss of face that came with it. Then again, if he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t be considered the one to have fostered this genius.

The conflict in his heart was indescribable.

Back on the exam grounds, Jin Ling’er thought for a moment, finally understanding the underlying reasoning behind this proposal. She exclaimed happily, “Great idea! We can bait people in, then destroy them. With your help, I won’t be afraid even if I run into Zhang Sheng’an or Zhong Ding. However……”

She lowered her voice. “Pretending to have your consciousness controlled is not easy. Can you do it?”

“Tell me, how does this look?” Su Chen replied. His expression changed. His eyes, moments ago filled with spirit and vigor, were wooden. He really did look like he had lost control of his consciousness.

“Hm? How is your imitation that accurate?” Jin Ling’er was caught off-guard.

When the Su Clan members saw this, they cursed in their hearts.

Dammit, isn’t this exactly how that little brat looked when he was pretending to be blind?

The blind and those who had lost control over their consciousness shared quite a few similarities. Their eyes, for example, both looked spiritless, sluggish, and apathetic.

Su Chen’s acting was outstanding. He definitely had put an extensive amount of practice into this wooden look.

When Gu Qingluo saw that familiar appearance, her face sank even more. She muttered to herself, “If…… then…… you’re dead for sure!”

When she thought about it, her anger surged, scaring those nearby into retreating. They didn’t understand why this young miss suddenly began to emit such power.

Meanwhile, Jin Ling’er and Su Chen had reached an agreement, after which they began to act on it.
