The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 157

“Vice Director Yang, the flames of anger from the Southern Palace, the Myriad Treasure Palace, and the Qing Palace are all waiting for us to be extinguished. I only have one word. If you can extinguish the flames of their anger, then I will not continue the matter of Lu Wuji.”    

”Shangguan Yi brought up the point.    

There was a sad expression on Yang Zhao's face. Extinguishing the flames of anger from these three places? He knew he had no ability to do so. He was always close to the Northern Palace.    

He had no business dealings with the other three people and therefore only had a medium relationship with them.    

If even the general director's face was useless, then where was his ranking on the totem pole? He would only invite contempt.    

His mouth revealed an extremely stiff and bitter smile, Yang Zhao couldn't help but ask, “Director General, this time the blame lies entirely with Lu Wuji. However, I still want to ask, who exactly is this Jiang Chen? Does he have a face so big that three of the four big sites will act collectively for him?”    

“You asked me, but who should I ask?” ”Shangguan Yi asked expressionlessly in return.    

“This issue cannot be postponed. Director General, if the patience of these three sites runs out, I fear it will be even more difficult to talk to them later.” Zhou Kai fanned the flames even more.    

Shangguan Yi's gaze was full of meaning as he looked at Yang Zhao.    

Yang Zhao's eyes wanted to avoid his gaze, but there was nowhere for him to hide. He could only smile sadly, “Director General, you also know that my strength is limited. My face is not big enough to calm these three great powers. It's not that I don't want to, I really don't know where to start. Can you give me a hint? Offering gifts and apologies? I can make Lu Wuji do this.”    

“Offer gifts and apologies?” Zhou Kai smiled shyly. “Vice Director Yang, do you think Shi Xiaoyao and Elder Ning made a big fuss just because of an apology?”    

Yang Zhao could not retaliate even though he had been tied up by Zhou Kai. He was in a low position now and could only let Zhou Kai scoff as he pleased.    

“Qi Old, do you have any suggestions? You can't kick me when I fall now, you have to help me.” Zhou Kai chose a persuasive tone as he asked Qi Tiannan for an idea.    

Qi Tiannan pondered for a moment and said, “I think the core of the matter is still on Jiang Chen. Anger from all three sites can be a big problem, it can also be a small problem. Although Lu Wuji had offended them, yet the youngster was still immature and offended by his words. In the end, this matter was resolved when their anger was extinguished. They continued to hold on because Jiang Chen was unwilling to let go.”    

Shang Guan Yi slightly nodded. After so many things were said, Qi Tiannan's words were finally on target.    

“The words Old Qi are true. Jiang Chen had also said before that however our Dragon Tooth Guard wanted to handle this, this is our internal affair and he has no right to ask. However, he will not treat this matter as if nothing happened.” Zhou Kai spoke up as well. “Lu Wuji threw Jiang Chen into the Black Underground Room and gave him a series of threats. The spirit of a proud young man and he would definitely not be willing to let this matter pass you by.”    

“The words Old Zhou and Old Qi are very reasonable. Vice Director Yang, the solution to this matter is in Jiang Chen's hands. Only when Jiang Chen's anger subsided and he agreed to it would the three sites release him as well.”    

Shangguan Yi also resigned. Announcing three of the four major sites about their intention to cease cooperation with the Dragonteeth Guard was undoubtedly a deadly blow.    

If this situation continued on a daily basis, then a day later the Dragon Tooth Guard could return to normal.    

…    

The person in question, Jiang Chen, was busying himself and feeling quite peaceful.    

He had contacted the dilapidated brewery and was making preparations to distill the Nine Dew Profound Wine. Now that all the ingredients are available, everything is ready.    

Simultaneously, he began to prepare the Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill. Compared to the Nine Glory Dew Wine, the Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill was much easier to refine.    

This was a pill to maintain a youthful appearance, and was actually easier to purify than the Vast Ocean Pill or Heavenly Karma Pill.    

“Baishi, you did well. I know that Elder Ning appreciates you very much. This is an opportunity for you. You are my student, but I hope you can also find opportunities to make progress in your own career.”    

Qi Baishi was very grateful. “Dear Master, your student still wants to be by your side and work for you.”    

“I want you to make it to the South Palace. It will also help your development in the future.”    

Jiang Chen's first goal was martial dao.    

The pill dao was merely a complement to him in pursuing martial dao. Since he accepted Qiao Baishi as his disciple, he naturally needed to have some consideration for his future career.    

Logically speaking, if Qiao Baishi could enter the Precious Tree Sect through the Southern Palace, it would be a good choice for him.    

Qiao Baishi was also quite wise as he knew that this was his esteemed master who was making preparations for him. He's nodding. “Dear Master, you will always be my priority wherever your students go. If you tell me to go to the Southern Palace, then your disciple will definitely work with all his heart.”    

“Baishi, you never let me down.” Jiang Chen nodded. “Pil Spring Lasting Four Seasons this will be your way up. I'll pass this on to you now.”    

Qiao Biashi was touched and felt proud. He knew that his esteemed master fully trusted him and that he was very self-centered.    

Jiang Chen passed down the pill recipe to Qiao Baishi and gave him some pointers on refining skills. In fact, Jiang Chen had not refined this pill much in his previous life.    

But in the memories of his past life, the Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill had an astonishing result in maintaining a youthful appearance.    

If he were to use slightly better ingredients and refine the supreme ranked Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill, it would even produce an instantaneous effect.    

After giving the Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill to Qiao Baishi, Jiang Chen focused on making the Nine Profound Dew Wine.    

In the next three days, he had completely immersed himself in creating the Nine Grains of Greatness Dew. No matter who came to visit from the outside world, they were all detained by Gouyu and his eight personal bodyguards.    

Feng Yan, the disciple of the Myriad Treasure Palace, had been making rapid progress lately. Due to the matter this time, he was specifically chosen by Shi Xiaoyao and now occupied the administrator position.    

This made the other disciples who had worked hard with him at the bottom rank for many years feel extremely envious.    

Feng Yan was quite happy, but did not forget to whom he owed all this. He knew that it was all because of Jiang Chen that he could occupy this position. Whether he could continue sitting on this chair in the future, or even have the chance to take it a step further would depend entirely on Jiang Chen!    

Therefore, when he was held outside the door by Jiang Chen's personal bodyguard, not only did Feng Yan not lose his temper, but he was actually quite patient. He comes once every morning and once every night. Not even thunder and lightning could stand in his way.    

The people from the Dragonteeth Guard were also blocked outside the door.    

Vice Director Yang Zhou initially maintained a superior attitude. He sent one of his men to start a discussion with Jiang Chen and see if they could handle this personally.    

There was no doubt that this man had not even set foot inside the door before he was dragged away by the personal bodyguards.    

Yang Zhao then sent someone with higher authority who brought a lot of gifts as well, fully giving the impression of wanting to give a gift as an apology. They were all violently rejected by the personal guards.    

Fires of anger raged within Yang Zhao's heart. Despite his strength and status as the third person of the Dragon Tooth Guard, he had actually been rejected twice by the foreign village clown!    

If this had happened before, Yang Zhao would definitely be furious.    

This time, however, he ran out of sense. He held back his anger and personally made a visit, deciding to talk to Jiang Chen with his status as the Vice Director of the Dragonteeth Guard.    

But what he did not take into account was that he continued to accept the coldness.    

“Young master of my house is cultivating with the door closed. All problems should wait until he appears.”    

Yang Zhao calmed the flames of anger in his heart with great difficulty, and asked when Jiang Chen would appear. The answer he received was, “We are not sure.”    

Yang Zhao, someone with such a deep level of shrewdness, could barely hold it in and wanted to roll up his sleeves and come out while swinging. But reason tells him that once he starts throwing punches, he will start a deadly showdown and the relationship with the three major sites will be completely destroyed.    

As much as the strength Yang Zhao possessed and the ability he possessed, he simply did not have the courage in this field. He was also unable to bear the consequences of this disaster.    

Forcefully swallowing this humiliation, Yang Zhao prepared to return within a few days.    

A man suddenly came out when he was about to leave. “Wait, you are Vice Director Yang, right?”    

Yang Zhao was greeted with a closed door in front of his face. When he heard these words, it was as if a drowning person was clinging to a wooden rod and his eyebrows curved with happy eyebrows. “Ya, it's me.”    

He did not dare to behave anything at this moment or act as the third person of the Dragon Tooth Guard.    

Although the other party was just a blank piece of paper in the Skylaurel Kingdom and although the other party had no power or influence at all, he, Yang Zhao, definitely could not behave at all at this moment.    

“Why is Lu Wuji not here yet?”    

Since Yang Zhao managed to reach the third person position within the Dragon Tooth Guard, not even the general director had spoken to him in an interrogative tone in recent years.    

But now, his circumstances were more important than his person. Even though his left cheek has been slapped, he still has to offer his right cheek and smile, “Lu Wuji has neglected his duty in handling a case and has been punished.”    

“Really neglecting tasks, you have completed all responsibilities quite well!” The one who came out from inside was Jiang Chen's younger cousin, Xue Tong, the captain of his eight personal bodyguards.    

“I have the list here. Look." Look." Xue Tong emitted waves of true Qi and sent the list hovering in front of Yang Zhao.    

Xue Tong's movements were a bit rude and made Yang Zhao feel a little annoyed, but he still reached out and grabbed the blanket.    

Xue Tong said softly, “This is the core of my young master. The day you collect all these items and send them to us is the day that the anger of my young host will be appeased.”    

Yang Zhao glanced at a glance and his brows immediately furrowed. “The Cloudflower grass ranked first? Jade Ginseng King Mauve? These were all spirit rank materials. This...this is a highway robbery!”    

Due to his haste, Yang Zhao forgot the filter in his mouth.    

Xue Tong smiled faintly. “Don't be angry, Vice Director Yang. If you think this is blackmail, just think of it as a joke and rip it off after you read it.”    

Tear it? If anger could burn this list, it would have long since turned to ashes. However, how could Yang Zhao tear it apart?    

What do you mean by tearing it? That means that they are completely and openly hostile and have declared war entirely against the three major sites.    

“All right, all right, all right. I admit my defeat this time. If these items were collected, could Jiang Chen represent the position of the three big sites?”    

Xue Tong stretched out his hand, seemingly not wanting to talk more. “Let's talk after you collect everything.”    

With that, he glanced at Vice Director Yang recklessly and turned to walk inside, leaving Yang Zhao standing outside awkwardly with a face full of bitterness.    

“Save, save, do not lose patience. Jiang Chen, this stupid animal, how dare a stranger threaten me?! See how I'm gonna pick you up after this is all over. Who would have thought that I, Yang Zhao, who could act as I please for half my life, would be humiliated by this guard dog today! Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen !!” A raging killing intent surged within Yang Zhao's heart.
