Chapter 1276: Retreat Route
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Being rewarded at the birthday celebration of the devil emperor was undoubtedly an honor . Yet Qin Wentian said that because he contributed nothing, he didn't dare to accept the reward . There was no doubt that he didn't want to give the devil emperor face .
In this vast space, the atmosphere was extremely nervous . Rejecting the devil emperor during his banquet was something unprecedented .
Even the gaze of the Blackstone Devil King froze there, staring dumbly at Qin Wentian, sweating cold sweat for him . This little fellow was too crazy, even if he was unhappy about the decision, he shouldn't smack the face of the devil emperor in public .
He was the devil emperor, no matter how outstanding your talent is, you are merely a junior . If he wished to kill you, he could easily pinch you to death with a single sentence, just like killing an ant .
Let alone the devil emperor, all the devil kings here were able to kill him effortlessly .
"Sir Qin . " Xin Yu's countenance was filled with nervousness, she was worried for Qin Wentian .
Things of the world kept changing, not long ago she still felt proud of Qin Wentian . Qin Wentian displayed that level of combat prowess and obtained the recognition of the devil emperor, the focal point of attention from a crowd of millions . However, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed completely .
The originator of all of this was naturally the Old Xia Devil King . However, who would dare to say anything? After all, everything was still eventually decided by the devil emperor .
Even if Qin Wentian was unhappy, he should have suppressed it . After today, any of the major powers here would still be for his choosing . But now that he rejected the reward, where else would there still be a place for him to stay here in the Fallen Devil Region .
Yan Yuruo clenched her fists, sighing at why Qin Wentian was so impulsive .
Even Huang Shatian was shocked, turning over to glance at Qin Wentian . This fellow was truly very proud . He even dared to directly reject the reward given by the devil emperor .
If it was he himself who was suffering from this unjust treatment, maybe he would also have chosen the same as Qin Wentian, rejecting the reward . This was their pride .
However, Huang Shatian naturally wouldn't feel guilty at all . The adjudication battle was of utmost importance . Other than wanting to defeat Qin Wentian, Huang Shatian wanted to win the adjudication battle even more .
"All of us had no contributions as well, and don't dare to accept the reward . " Qi Da and the rest spoke, all of them rejecting the reward . The tension in the air grew more intense, quiet but heavy .
The gazes of many turned to the devil emperor .
"How insolent . " The Old Xia Devil King had a cold look on his face . "You guys are doubting the decision made by his Majesty? What gall!"
Qin Wentian frowned . After fighting against Huang Shatian, regardless of him or Huang Shatian, both were now in a very weak state . He knew that rejecting the reward would only place him at a disadvantage but sometimes, one's principles couldn't be put down . This was a respect to himself .
If he was defeated, or if he was inferior to Old Chai and Xia Yuan, he would naturally have nothing to say . But in such a clear situation, even the blind could tell how biased this was, wanting him to accept the reward was simply an extreme humiliation . He wasn't able to do it .
"Senior is an expert at the devil king level, yet your words are so filthy, causing people to be disappointed . All of us came to participate in this event simply to offer our congratulations to His Majesty . With no other contributions, we naturally have no reason to accept the rewards . Our actions were just and aboveboard yet when in the mouth of senior, it became an act of insolence . Might I dare to ask, is that the bearing an esteemed senior should have?"
Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his tone neither servile nor overbearing .
The eyes of the Old Xia Devil King flashed with coldness . It was because of him that the devil emperor made this decision and hence, now Qin Wentian's rebuttal felt as though it was slapping his face which was why he was angered .
"Enough, you all have the freedom of choice . Retreat for now . " At this moment, the devil emperor calmly spoke . The beautiful women bearing the rewards all retreated . Old Xia Devil King had an icy expression on his face, but since the devil emperor has already spoken, it naturally wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything more .
"Everyone, return to your seats . " The devil emperor calmly continued . He and Old Xia were buddies who went through life-and-death situations together . However, this matter wasn't handled beautifully and it's inevitable for the young to have a bit of temper . He wouldn't be angry with Qin Wentian over this .
Qin Wentian and the other participants walked down the platform, returning to their seats . Huang Shatian still sat down beside him, both of them didn't seemed to be mortal enemies .
Xin Yu's soft body leaned into Qin Wentian's embrace as she transmitted her voice, "Sir Qin, why must you place yourself in such a situation? Although the devil emperor wasn't angered, some of his subordinates may take offense and act against you . Also, your outstanding performance on the battlefield earlier might have offended many others, doing so would be extremely disadvantageous for you . "
Qin Wentian glanced at the beauty in his embrace, he then heard the devil kings laughing, many of them praising Huang Shatian with some commending Old Chai and Xia Yuan . He himself has become a transparent man, being forgotten and ignored . Evidently to these devil king experts, even if he had extreme talent, the attitude of the devil emperor was still more important .
As the adage goes, emotions are cold . When one is in glory, they would have friends everywhere . But once they lost their influence and power, these so-called friends would all disappear . Let alone the fact that he had no connection with these devil kings . What made Qin Wentian somewhat taken aback was that the beauty in his embrace, Xin Yu, actually didn't choose to avoid him and was still as affectionate as before .
Although her affectionate attitude wasn't timely, it still caused him to feel warmth in his heart .
