836 Attention from the Empire

“Hello, Miss Yang. May I interview you?”

Yang Xirui stopped in surprise and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her. He had a square face and a refined temperament. Be it his clothes or disposition, they revealed a classical elegance.

As a reporter, her sharp senses also made her notice the special edges of the cuffs of the other party’s clothes that emitted a faint golden light. If she did not remember wrongly, this extremely special dress detail was usually something that only the old nobles in the Declan Empire would pay attention to.

This discovery made her even stranger.

“Interview me?” Yang Xirui pointed at herself and thought to herself that she was a reporter herself. It was already not bad that she did not interview others, but now, someone came to interview her. It was really a little strange.

Moreover, no matter how one described this middle-aged man’s temperament, he did not look like a reporter. He was more like a traditional noble in a country with a long history.

“Yes.” The middle-aged man still had a warm smile on his face as he nodded lightly, “Let me introduce myself. I’m a reporter from the Camille Prophet’s Office in the Declan Empire, Locket. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Camille Prophet’s Office?” Yang Xirui was immediately shocked. Her eyes could not help but widen slightly as she sized up Locket even more carefully in surprise.

As a media reporter, it was impossible for Yang Xirui not to know that the Camille Prophet’s Office was the oldest media organization in the Declan Empire. It was said that it had been founded tens of thousands of years ago and was related to the history of the Declan Empire.

Moreover, this ancient media organization had always been related to the royal family of the Declan Empire in the rumors. Most of the time, it could even be seen as the mouthpiece of the royal family.

It was not strange for this newspaper company to send reporters to interview and report on this competition. After all, more than a thousand outstanding young students from the Declan Empire were participating in this competition. However, it was too strange that they had found Yang Xirui and even said that they wanted to interview her.

Yang Xirui rolled her eyes and immediately understood.

“Is it because of Chu Nan?”

Locket laughed.

“Miss Yang is indeed a smart person. That’s right, I’m here for that student called Chu Nan from your country. I heard that Miss Yang has the best relationship with Chu Nan among the reporters in your country and is the person who contacted him the most. Therefore, I hope to obtain some information about him from you. I wonder if it’s convenient?”

“This…” Yang Xirui hesitated.

Although Locket was polite and appeared very polite, Yang Xirui did not know his goal for suddenly appearing to ask about Chu Nan, so how could she casually reveal information about him?

Seeing Yang Xirui’s hesitation, Locket smiled and continued, “Miss Yang, you should know about the Garden Hunting Assembly held by the royal family, right?”

Yang Xirui could not help but reveal a surprised expression again.

At this time last year, she actually did not know what the so-called Garden Hunting Assembly was.

However, in the past year or so, because of her work, her understanding of the martial arts world had become deeper and deeper, and the range she came into contact with had become larger and larger. Naturally, she knew about this grand event called the grandest but cruelest young martial artists in the entire Milky Way.

Why did this Locket suddenly mention the Garden Hunting Assembly?

“Regarding the Garden Hunting Assembly, actually, your Earth Federation will have many young martial artists participating, and Star Cloud Academy has one of the official invitations. With Chu Nan’s current performance, I believe that Star Cloud Academy will definitely recommend him to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly next year. What do you think?” Locket added.

Yang Xirui pondered for a moment and nodded.

That’s right, with Chu Nan’s current strength and performance, if Star Cloud Academy wanted to recommend sufficiently outstanding young martial artists to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly next year, he would definitely be the best candidate.

“But Chu Nan might not be willing to participate…” Yang Xirui could not help but refute.

“He will.” Locket smiled, “No young martial artist can reject such a generous reward. Moreover, being able to compete with the young experts from the entire Milky Way in the Garden Hunting Assembly is something that all genius martial artists dream of, right?”

Yang Xirui thought for a moment and nodded helplessly.

Not to mention the generous rewards at the Garden Hunting Assembly, just the chance to become famous in the entire Milky Way was something no young martial artist could reject.

However, her gaze immediately became sharp as she narrowed her eyes and looked at Locket.

“Then what do you want to do now? Get the young martial artists of other countries to pay special attention to him? If that’s the case, it’s not very beneficial for Chu Nan to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly next year. Please forgive me for rejecting.”

Locket chuckled and said, “Miss Yang, you’re thinking too much. In fact, I only discovered that such a dazzling young genius can appear in your Earth Federation, and am very curious. As for the attention you’re worried about, it’s not good for him to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly next year… I think with his current performance, he’s already sufficiently attracted the attention of many people. It won’t affect anything if I’m added, right?”

Yang Xirui could only admit helplessly that Locket was right.

Now, after eight rounds of the competition, only 64 top genius students from the various academies of the various countries in the Orion Arm were left in the arena.

Any one of these 64 people was undoubtedly an outstanding figure among the young martial artists on the Orion Arm. It would definitely attract widespread attention.

Moreover, because the scene of Chu Nan fighting hundreds of Void Break Martial Artists from the United States of Melaita had spread on the Milky Way Network, it had long attracted widespread attention. Now that his performance in the competition was so good, coupled with the fact that he was from a small country like the Earth Federation, he had already been called the greatest dark horse in this competition by countless media outlets. The most unexpected discovery was that it was difficult for him not to attract attention.

Now that Locket was paying attention to him, it really did not affect him at all…

“Alright, what do you want to ask?” Yang Xirui sighed in her mind and asked calmly.

“Firstly, I want to confirm a problem.” Locket stretched out a finger, “I’ve gathered some information related to Chu Nan. It shows that less than a year and a half ago, he was only an ordinary martial artist who had not even broken through to the Internal Breath Realm. Is this true?”

Yang Xirui’s heart skipped a beat. This Locket actually knew this, proving that his attention to Chu Nan was definitely not just because of curiosity.

A thought flashed through her mind and she knew that it was not difficult to investigate this matter. After all, Chu Nan’s performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition last year was obvious to all. It was impossible to hide it and there was no need to. Therefore, she nodded and admitted.

“Yes.”

“Then do you know how Chu Nan rose from an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist to his current level in a period of time?” Locket asked again.

Yang Xirui frowned and replied bluntly, “I don’t know about that. Moreover, even if I know, it’s impossible for me to answer this question.”

Locket smiled and did not mind Yang Xirui’s attitude.

“Then, the next question is Chu Nan…”
