The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 12
Bai Zhanyun, the heir to the rank of a White Tiger duke, was a domineering and mischievous person.
But isn't this heir to the dukedom of Jiang Han, who has even done the crazed act of the century, with a fart during the Heavenly Worship Rite, a useless legendary thing? When did he become so great?
At this moment, he did not even treat the heir of the rank of a White Tiger duke seriously. This is a progression against the heavens!
Keep in mind, although Duke Jiang Han was ranked in the top 15 of the 108 Dukes, the White Tiger Duke was ranked 4th. He was one of the four most famous and prominent dukes in the kingdom.
The difference in strength existed between dukes of different ranks. In reality, the Duke of Jiang Han and the White Tiger Duke were not at all on the same level!
Moreover, thanks to his earth-shattering fart, Jiang Chen's life story had been unearthed by rumors for the past two days. Who didn't know that Jiang Chen was cool and never made it?
It was precisely because of this that everyone was extremely shocked by Jiang Chen's attitude.
“Hahaha, even though you were not whipped to death, you were beaten to an idiot, not Jiang Chen? Goody. You were lucky last time and not beaten to death. I'll lighten some of His Majesty's burden today, and beat you to death as a gift.”
It was at this moment that another riot broke out at the door of the Hall, and a crowd of young men surrounding a girl dressed in white entered.
The crowd of youths started shouting as soon as they entered: “We want the Sun Grass of Dragon Bone, bring it here immediately. My household, the rank of a duke of Yanmen, will buy.”
"Huh. When it is your turn to pay. The rank of a Vermillion Bird duke I will possess this Dragonbone Sun Grass!
These young men fought each other for the opportunity to pay the bills, as well as enliven the atmosphere in the lobby of the Hall of Healing.
Jiang Chen rubbed his nose while thinking, Do these people have more money than what they know to do? What's with them today? Did all these people make a pact to come bother me today?
Even so, it doesn't seem to be the case. How could anyone else know that he needed the Dragonbone Sun Grass? Plus, Jiang Chen himself did not believe that he had offended so many people, to the point where the heirs of the various ranks of a duke conspired against him.
In a few moments, there were at least seven or eight people competing for the chance to purchase Dragonbone Sun Grass. Each displays a resolution level indicating that they will not stop until they have managed to get it.
This left the old Blue in a state of confusion. He was an expert in observing people, how could he not know that this crowd of young men were putting on a show for the girl?
But, there is only one of the Dragonbone Sun Grass? He would definitely insult a large group of people, no matter who he sold it to.
These little emperors were all demon incarnations. No matter who he hurt, it would be an uncertain matter, not to mention that this offense would be committed to some people.
Elder Blue thought furiously, glanced at Jiang Chen from the corner of his eyes and formed an idea.
“Dear young duke, we are flattered and flattered for your presence. However, the Hall of Healing had always had one rule in doing business. It was Jiang Chen, the heir to the rank of a duke of Jiang Han, who first wanted to purchase the Dragonbone Sun Grass. Anyone who wants to buy it can only do so if he is willing to hand it over. The Hall of Healing would be sold to anyone who could convince him. This is the rule, and we expect your understanding.”
What a wonderful way to shift blame and responsibility. Played well.
The Healing Hall had washed its hands over the matter in this way, and threw hot potatoes at Jiang Chen.
If he refused to give up, then it would be Jiang Chen's problem, not Hall's problem. It was Jiang Chen who would offend people, and not them.
All gazes twisted into one and locked onto Jiang Chen.
“Eh, why him?”
“Jiang Chen? A comedian who farts at Rites? Isn't he dead?”
“Does he pretend to be a corpse?”
“Is this kid lucky and not beaten to death?”
“Too weird, too weird. Strange things happen every year, and there are so many strange events this year.”
“Hahs. Who cares if he dies or not. No one can take this Dragon Bone Sun Grass from me!”
“Jiang Chen, there is no place here for the rank of a lowly noble Jiang Han. Accept your place and retreat.”
"That's right. How dare a criminal show his face?”
“Come back and prepare your business!”
Few people knew that he was not dead yet, so the reactions of these people did not surprise Jiang Chen at all.
What surprised him was, was his face really provoking that much anger and hatred? Why are these people trampling on him?
He ignored all the hostile gazes and smiled wryly, “Did I fail to check the almanac before leaving the house today? Dealing with one idiot alone was already annoying enough, but now I have to deal with a bunch of idiots?”
He wasted no more time talking and looking at old Blue, saying coldly, “Elder Blue, what's the point of pawning your problems to others. I don't want to hear your words; are you selling Dragonbone Sun Grass or not?”
Elder Blue's face darkened, “Are you threatening me? If that's the case, then I will really wash my hands of this matter!”
"Just a second!"
Someone hurriedly came out from behind the lobby. It was the third hallmaster.
Elder Blue was momentarily dumbfounded, thinking: Did you take the wrong medicine this morning? Didn't you see the crowd of little emperors eyeing the prize? Aren't you afraid that all these little demons hold grudges if you sell them to Jiang Chen?
Not to mention, was it necessary to take action so far just for the sake of the heir of Jiang Han, and a useless and useless person?
The third Hallmaster completely ignored the confused look of elder Blue and smiled at Jiang Chen, “Young Duke Jiang, you are the first one who wants to buy Dragonbone Sun Grass, you are the first one who wants to buy the Dragonbone Sun Grass, and thus of course the buyer in accordance with our rules.”
He paused for a moment, then turned his head towards the heir to the rank of another duke, “Lord, forgive me. The Hall of Healing can have a foothold in the Eastern Kingdom purely because of our golden mark based on credibility and rules. I'm very flattered that you have been willing to visit the Hall of Healing, but unfortunately there is currently only one Dragonbone Sun Grass. We can only sell it to the one who came first: young duke Jiang. As for whether young duke Jiang wants to hand it over to whoever is present, it is not my decision.
“However, this is the Hall of Healing, we ask for your understanding and refrain from naughty behavior.” The third Hallmaster's tone slightly hardened.
The Hall of Healing was not a place where just anyone could come and cause a commotion.
Whahuh?
Is the third hallmaster crazy? He sold the Dragonbone Sun Grass to Jiang Chen?
One of the young dukes present was more prominent, more powerful, than the heir to Jiang Han. Did the third principal take the wrong medicine this morning?
What made them even more shocked was that the third principal then turned a welcoming and cheering face towards Jiang Chen and said, “Young Duke Jiang, my apology for this offense. Please follow me inside, so the Hall can offer you a cup of tea as apology.”
The crowd of small emperors was completely dumbfounded by this incident.
When did this worthless dandy, who had absolutely no premonition of any presence in the Hidden Dragon Trials, become so popular in the Healing Hall?
Even the white-clothed girl gathered around the crowd turned her gaze to Jiang Chen for the first time.
This girl was the favorite daughter of the first duke of the Eastern Kingdom, Long Teng's daughter, Long Juxue.
The hordes of heirs of the rank of a duke fought amongst themselves mostly due to the desire to take heart with this Long Juxue. The fanfare of buying Dragonbone Sun Grass was to offer it to him, and to cure his cold appetite.
However, Jiang Chen had absolutely no interest in this crowd of madmen. When he caught a glimpse of Jiang Zheng hiding behind the third principal with a quick glance, he understood the situation perfectly. He smiled lightly, “Please pack the spirit level ingredients I want. As for payment..”
The third principal hurriedly said, “Let's talk about payment later. How about we have tea?”
The items were wrapped up quickly and placed in Jiang Chen's hands. He went inside with the chairman of the third hall, but how could he not know that the reason behind the attention of the third hall master was his desire to complete the Heavenly Karma pill contract?
Otherwise, how could the third hallmaster ignore all the other heirs and insist on selling Dragonbone Sun Grass to him? And give him a face like that?
Hold on, brother Jiang Chen. A handsome and well-dressed young man emerged from the crowd. “I am the heir of the Black Tortoise, Yi Taichu. I sincerely request that you hand over the Dragonbone Sun Grass to me. I'm willing to pay double the price for your friendship, is it acceptable to you?
It had to be said that this Yi Taichu handled things much more precisely than White Tiger heir Bai Zhanyun. However, this Dragon Bone Sun Grass was extremely useful to Jiang Chen. There was no way he could give it to someone else.
“I'm sorry, I've used this blade of Dragon Bone Sun Grass and can't give it away just like that. Brother Yi, you are in the prime of your life, but you feel so bored that you have to run errands for the sake of a beautiful face?”
Jiang Chen smiled without commitment as he glanced towards Long Juxue, feeling extremely disapproving of her. This woman let the crowd of heirs preen and walk before her, yet did not say a word in return. This type of woman is a woman who is arrogant or has two-faced intentions. So what if she's as pretty as a flower?
In his past life, this kind of woman was not even suitable to be the female servant waiting for him.
Yi Taichu felt a little awkward, yet still maintained his elegance and manners. He thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something. He suddenly left without a word.
Long Juxue even more disliked Jiang Chen after seeing Yi Taichu leave. He greatly enjoyed the feeling of the crowd of young men fighting over him. Only when millions of people worship the moon can its status as the center of attention be displayed to the fullest.
But this Jiang Chen was doing a very important job, and was truly vengeful.
The worst thing was, this Jiang Chen had not even really seen him all this time. How can this be the style of the person who never works, which is so ridiculous?
If it happened on another day, Long Juxue would not even bother to glance at someone of Jiang Chen's level. Yet today, in this kind of situation, the strangeness in a woman's heart made her feel extremely annoyed, and thought that Jiang Chen was deliberately denying her face.
He even felt that Jiang Chen was deliberately pretending to be a generous, carefree, and mysterious stranger. This was another kind of trick to attract his attention.
The heir to the rank of a little duke; trash that was not even worth the effort of bringing him in hand, pretending to be in? Hmph. I'd like to see if it's possible for you to look like a fool in front of me!
His mind twirled as he suddenly moved towards Jiang Chen, each step graceful like a lotus.
Jiang Chen, right? Long Juxue's voice was cool. “As far as I know, you do not use spirit materials of this level. These family friends are struggling to buy Dragonbone Sun Grass because they want to cure me of my cold sense of humor. Why do you want to buy it?”
Although his words were not too ugly, the meaning behind his words was clear. You, lowly Jiang Chen, have no way to use the Dragonbone Sun Grass.
If Jiang Chen tried to please Long Juxue in struggling to buy her, then it was time to stop the charade.
Jiang Chen felt astonished when he saw this overconfident woman. She smiled without being seen, “Then do you think I need it for?”
“I don't care what you need it for. If you want to give it to me, I accept your sincerity and will remember you.” He replied nonchalantly. “If not, I will also remember you, Jiang Chen.”
This is a genuine and real threat.
