Everybody stopped talking. That person was right. It didn’t take a genius to figure it out. The eight emperors hadn’t fought against one another for almost a thousand years. No one knew what their relative strength was.

“Join the Baih family?” Himmel Soan thought for a brief moment and soon gave an answer. “I don’t have that plan. I’m an independent cultivator, and I don’t want to be associated with any force.

“Why can’t I have a force and a family of my own?”

Back on Earth, he had the Soan family, which was his force. With his capability, why should he join someone else’s faction?

Moreover, he was here to look for Gina. Why would he want to join some family?

If he joined them, he would have to change his surname to Baih, and he would never do that. He also wanted to find out why this world forbade the surname Soan.

“Interesting. You want to have your own family and force? You have to have the strength first! Otherwise, stop bragging. You need to be mindful of your words!” Emperor Baih frowned and seemed irritated.

The reason was none other than Himmel Soan’s words. There were things that one couldn’t bring up just because they wanted to.

The eight emperors were the only emperors in this world. If Himmel Soan wanted to create his own force and become an emperor, he would be their joint enemy.

That was where Emperor Baih’s anger came from.

Himmel Soan sensed the change in Emperor Baih’s mood and had some speculations. But they were only speculations.

“You may not believe me, but it’s really none of your business. That’s my plan. If I want to do it, I’ll do it. It’s as simple as that. If there’s nothing else, you can retrieve your projection now,” Himmel Soan said indifferently.

He wanted to talk to Emperor Baih at first, but he noticed something from his tone and attitude. He would never get the answers he wanted. He only sounded out the emperor’s reaction to different families, but Emperor Baih was obviously displeased.

Himmel Soan didn’t even mention the more important things. Emperor Baih would be furious if he told him his surname was Soan.

The eight emperors must keep the biggest secrets together. If Gina were here in this world, it would be one of those top secrets.

He didn’t think Emperor Baih would provide him with the answers he needed. He might even see him as an enemy.

Himmel Soan realized that he had recovered about 2%, enough to take care of this projection. He still needed more power to face the actual emperor himself.

When he recovered 10% of his strength, even if Emperor Baih came here in person, Himmel Soan was confident enough to deal with him. If he could recover 20%, he wouldn’t need to care about so many things!

“Alright. Soochin, come back after you finish your business in Baihib. Don’t take too long. Mr. Independent Cultivator, I still hope you can visit the Baih family. I’ll greet you in person,” Emperor Baih said in a suggestive tone.

The first time he invited Himmel Soan, he was sincere. He had wanted to win him to his side, but he had given up on that notion.

The second invitation was made with a much more complicated intention.

Soon, Emperor Baih’s projection disappeared.

“What happened? What was that conversation about? Was I dreaming? Why can’t I understand a word?”

“You’re not alone. We don’t understand it either!”

“Why did Emperor Baih leave? Was he intimidated by that young man?”

“I think so. That independent cultivator is probably at the same cultivation level as the emperors, but Emperor Baih has only sent a projection here.”

“A projection? I thought it was Emperor Baih himself…”

“Why wouldn’t that young man join the Baih family? It was such a generous offer. With his capability, he can enjoy the same privileges as the emperors.”

“Don’t be silly! He doesn’t need to join another family. Even the invitation was a humiliation! The young master was already very sensible by not throwing punches at Emperor Baih.”

“Do you think he’ll accept Emperor Baih’s invitation?”

“Of course, he will! With his strength, he shouldn’t be afraid of a little house visit.”

The crowd couldn’t stop talking about it. They carefully analyzed every word exchanged between Himmel Soan and Emperor Baih and hoped they could figure something out.

Soochin was still baffled by everything. At first, she thought her master would come here and take Firey straight home without incident. What happened next was completely unexpected. She couldn’t understand why her master would ask that ordinary man for his opinion.

He even gave that man such an extraordinary offer. However, that ungrateful man turned her master down!

That man was also unbelievably arrogant. He actually told her master’s projection to go away!

Soochin couldn’t understand it at all, especially what her master said at last. She understood those words, but she didn’t understand why her master would be afraid of an ordinary man.

Her master seemed to worry about her safety and was warning that man…

But there was nothing special about him!

“How ungrateful!”

Despite her confusion, Soochin still headed back home. She knew her master would explain it to her later.

Himmel Soan didn’t think much of it. He was going to visit the Baih family, but not now. He needed to wait until he recovered at least 10% of his strength.
