Feng Xiaoyi's letter took Du Youqian by surprise.
'His first instinct was to refuse.'
But on second thought, the reason he hadn't wanted to get involved in the fight for the True Inheritor position was his fear of others tripping him up or stabbing him in the back.
'When it came to dirty tricks, he was no match for those old foxes.'
But if it was a real, head-on fight in the Life and Death Arena, he wasn't afraid of any of the True Inheritor candidates of this generation.
There were a few formidable opponents he wasn't confident he could beat, but they couldn't kill him either.
'Worst case, if things look bad, I can just concede. Or I could use "Quick Passage" to burn through my lifespan and reincarnate.'
'The position of True Inheritor... it was still worth fighting for.'
He was still quite tempted by the *Crimson Scripture of Profound Mystery and Spiritual Mechanism*.
