Chapter 52: Clearly Liking Yet Wanting to Prohibit
"Yi Chen is impressive; he can see what the high priest is really thinking at a glance."
"Wow, he was so scared he fell to the ground. This high priest is quite timid."
"It’s no wonder the high priest is so fearful; Yi Chen’s presence is just too strong. That sharp gaze could scare anyone."
"The flattery was misplaced; the high priest clearly isn’t qualified to be a scheming advisor next to Yi Chen."
"Even those heavy criminals with ulterior motives would have to be cautious. Yi Chen’s brilliance is enough to show that his mind is among the best in the entire galaxy."
"However, his attention is focused on creating new skills. While these heavy criminals have far more experience and vision than the high priest, Yi Chen is not easily deceived."
"If I were Yi Chen, I would replace the high priest. What good is a person like him?"
"Good thing you’re not Yi Chen, or it would just create more chaos in the Flame Mountain Tribe. You must understand that the high priest is quite intelligent and has some management experience."
"In the entire Flame Mountain Tribe, you won’t find a more suitable candidate."
"Not to mention that with Yi Chen’s ambitious personality, he will surely do things in the future that he wants but that might harm his reputation and even cause public discontent."
"Having someone like the high priest, who can be controlled, to take care of such matters is very useful."
"Just like the high priest has managed the task of mythologizing himself in the Flame Mountain Tribe well."
"If the high priest does something that angers the people later, he can easily take the blame."
As they watched the high priest, who lay trembling on the ground, the audience in the live room reveled in schadenfreude.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Do you think the high priest’s flattery might annoy Yi Chen and lead him to feel negatively toward Hai Lan?"
"That will definitely have some impact; the success rate of the scheme of beauty has likely dropped from one hundred percent to ninety-nine."
"This old man is just a hindrance. When he recommended Hai Lan, he wouldn’t stop chatting, making his intentions too obvious. He clearly doesn’t know how to keep it subtle."
"Nevertheless, gold shines everywhere. Since this heavy criminal named Hai Lan has successfully piqued Yi Chen’s curiosity with her flute playing, she is already almost certain to succeed."
…
"Get up!"
In the valley, Yi Chen stopped scolding the high priest.
"Yes!"
The high priest felt a bit relieved and got up from the ground.
"Tell the girl named Hai Lan to stop playing the flute in front of the tribe members. She should also play less herself."
Yi Chen instructed.
The high priest was somewhat stunned.
But Yi Chen did not say much more, walking toward the direction where the tribe members gathered for Spirit Release.
The reason for his instructions was simple.
It did not align with his interests.
He preferred to see the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe living peacefully and happily every day.
Because this is beneficial to his rule.
Originally, having someone who could play heavenly music on the flute was a good thing.
But for the Flame Mountain Tribe, the most important thing now is to elevate their strength.
Tribe members should work hard to practice every day, not waste time being lost in the beautiful flute playing.
In Yi Chen’s eyes, the enchanting sound that even he found delightful, coming from a stunning beauty in the tribe, made it even harder for the tribe members to resist.
Listening once every few days is fine, but if Hai Lan plays all the time, the tribe members would waste a lot of their training time every day just listening to her.
However, geniuses are rare in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
It is a rare opportunity to have another genius, so they are given some preferential treatment.
This is also why Yi Chen did not impose a complete ban, but only instructed the high priest to inform Hai Lan to play the flute less often in front of the tribe members and to play less herself.
As for the sudden appearance of this unknown genius in the tribe, he did not doubt whether Hai Lan was hiding some secrets.
After all, he did not know the true situation of the exile planet and was unaware that many heavy criminals with ulterior motives had recently appeared there.
…
"What’s going on?"
"This is so typical of Yi Chen! His thoughts are always so hard to guess."
"Yeah! Just now, he seemed very engaged and even paused to listen. Plus, with a beauty and genius like Hai Lan, he should have met her out of curiosity."
"And even if he is resolute, he would surely want to listen to beautiful flute playing in his free time."
"Yet he actually sent the high priest to tell Hai Lan to play the flute less."
The audience in the live room was stunned.
They couldn’t understand what Yi Chen was thinking.
Clearly, he liked her, yet he ordered a ban.
He didn’t even seem curious.
This completely defied reason.
"Oh no, does this mean the scheme of beauty is going to fail?"
"Where’s that person who said there was a ninety-nine percent success rate? Come out, and I promise I won’t hurt you."
"It shouldn’t fail! This was a scheme of beauty tailor-made based on Yi Chen’s character."
"Failure might not happen, but to succeed, the stunning beauty named Hai Lan still needs to figure out a way to meet Yi Chen, to let him see her extraordinary beauty and feel her goddess-like charm."
Everyone felt a bit disappointed.
When the scheme of beauty seemed almost certain to succeed, they sympathized with Yi Chen being fooled in love.
After all, Yi Chen is the greatest genius in the history of humanity, the pride of all mankind.
Moreover, everyone is secretly learning the skills created by Yi Chen. Although they can comfort themselves by saying it’s not cheating, there’s still a sense of guilt toward Yi Chen.
Naturally, they did not want to see Yi Chen being deceived by a stunning beauty from an exile planet, who might very well be an unattractive woman in the interstellar era.
But after discovering that the scheme of beauty was encountering obstacles, everyone’s starting point shifted to their own interests.
If the driving force behind this scheme is the Federal Parliament, then undoubtedly, once successful, everyone wouldn’t need to suffer from not learning what they want. They could learn all the new skills created by Yi Chen right away.
In this situation, they all hoped that the scheme of beauty could succeed smoothly.
…
"Tribe leader!"
In the valley, upon seeing Yi Chen arrive, Guli and the others quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Yi Chen nodded.
The Little Gold Ball on his shoulder waved its tiny hand at everyone like a big leader making an appearance.
However, no one paid attention to it.
Everyone’s eyes were only on Yi Chen.
His gaze swept over the more than a hundred tribe members who had broken through to Spirit Release, and Yi Chen felt very pleased.
The tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe are the foundation of his conquering the world and expanding his influence.
And these exceptionally talented tribe members are the cornerstone among the foundation.
Because the Flame Mountain Tribe not only needs an overall increase in strength but also needs to cultivate a batch of advanced combat power.
Without advanced combat power, it means that when facing strong enemies, Yi Chen would have to take action personally.
That would waste a lot of his time.
Yi Chen didn’t say much; he took out his long sword.
He approached the stone wall and began to write the incantations and energy circulation pathways for the Complete Version of the Cloud Treading Technique.
Not only Guli and the others, but also the hundreds of billions of viewers in the live room opened their eyes wide, filled with excitement.
