The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 166

Ye Chonglou's name was like the existence of a totem in the Skylaurel Kingdom. No one, from an eighty-year-old old man to a toddler and a child, is no stranger to this name.    

He does not have an amazing official title or an elaborate network of hangers and powers.    

To be clear, he was just an old man who had nothing to do with the world. An unemployed, non-busy person who busies himself by watching the flowers bloom and wither. Someone who hid himself in the city.    

However, when his name was mentioned, everyone from the king to the commoners would have great respect for him.    

This was because this name was the monument and totem of the Skylaurel Kingdom.    

All the princes of Skylaurel Kingdom should respectfully call Ye Chonglou, “Teacher.”    

Even the current king, who was the prince of the last generation had to respectfully call Ye Chonglou, “Guru” as well.    

Even the generation before the last generation, and the previous generation…    

At least five generations of the Ye family dynasty should respectfully call Ye Chonglou as “guru”.    

It could be said that teacher Ye Chonglou had passed down his knowledge from generation to generation of disciples in the royal family. No one could clearly identify how many generations it had been, and no one knew how old Ye Chonglou was.    

The legacy from generation to generation and accumulation over the years had resulted in Ye Chonglou's current standing. Although he distanced himself from worldly affairs, no one had the right to match him.    

Ye Chonglou had no special hobbies. He has only one habit, which is to celebrate his birthday once a year.    

Due to his habits, the royal family of the Skylaurel Kingdom specifically built the Tutor Manor for him.    

This Tutor Manor was only used once a year, which was to hold Tutor Ye's birthday party.    

Jiang Chen was not born and raised in the Skylaurel Kingdom, and as such, he did not have any direct knowledge of Tutor Ye. Therefore, when he saw the fourth prince Ye Rong and the others meticulously getting ready, he was a little surprised.    

“Boy brother Jiang Chen, you are here. Come on, I'll introduce you.” Ye Rong exclaimed in excitement upon seeing Jiang Chen. “You are an old acquaintance of Tian Shao. He will accompany me to pass on the birthday news to Tutor Ye this time as well.”    

Ye Rong pointed at another young man with a sculptural feature next to him, introducing, “Lin Qianli, the core disciple of the Azure Heaven Southern Palace. Your age is the same, so you can interact more.”    

Lin Qianli's expression looked gloomy as he looked at Jiang Chen and slightly nodded.    

When Jiang Chen saw him acting this way, he knew that Lin Qianli was most likely someone with a haughty personality, so he smiled recklessly and was being polite, so he said, “I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”    

If someone else is making small talk, they will usually say something polite as well in response. However, Lin Qianli smiled faintly, “You just came from the Eastern Kingdom a month ago and this is the first time we met. Why are you looking forward to meeting me?”    

Jiang Chen laughed involuntarily, he thought that this Lin Qianli was an enigma and was naturally far away, someone who did not like to talk. He had not expected the other party to be so sharp, and seemed to be acting latently hostile.    

“The big name of South Palace is very famous and famous. Of course, I have long admired him.” Since this fellow was going to be like this, Jiang Chen had no interest in wasting time talking to him.    

Ye Rong did not expect that Lin Qianli suddenly became so interested and smiled, “Qianli, you have not known Jiang Chen for a long time. As you interact more with him in the future, you will know that little brother Jiang Chen is very valuable to your friendship.    

“Jiang Chen, Qianli's personality is indeed like this. It is cold outside and warm inside. You will know what happens when you spend more time with him.” Ye Rong defused the situation.    

Tian Shao also said with a smile, “Yes yes, things of a kind come together and like-minded people enter into the same group. Those who are not the same will not walk together. Qianli, young Chen, I am a little older than the two of you and I pay enough attention to others. I promise you two will be good friends after spending time together.”    

Lin Qianli smiled apathetically and refused to comment.    

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders slightly and he did not say anything either. He was not the type of person who should be friends with someone, and would never place his hot face in front of a cold person.    

“Alright, it's time, let's go.”    

Anyone could see that Ye Rong had made earnest preparations to celebrate Teacher Ye's birthday. Her clothes were inconspicuous and did not lose her splendor that matched the appearance of a royal disciple. He seemed to fit perfectly into this opportunity.    

Ye Rong's mood was quite cheerful as he chatted and laughed along with Jiang Chen and the others.    

“Male brother Jiang, there are many celebratory events in our Skylaurel Kingdom, Hope Tower temple exhibition for example, Precious Tree selection is other things. Tutor Ye's birthday celebration is one of them.”    

Tian Shao was quite friendly with Jiang Chen. After all, they had been through a lot together. In the end, half of the reason why he could be promoted to deputy general this time around could be attributed to Jiang Chen.    

Therefore, Tian Shao had been acting as a tour guide for Jiang Chen all along.    

“Tutor Ye is a person who does not care about fame and fortune. He celebrated his birthday every year and he used the banquet as an opportunity to examine the younger generation of the Skylaurel Kingdom. Therefore, those who received the invitation were all young prodigies of the kingdom who were less than thirty years old. Of course, everyone who receives an invitation can bring a certain number of guests. No age limit for companion guests.”    

“This opportunity is rare. Any student in Skylaurel Kingdom would be honored to receive the invitation of Tutor Ye.”    

“Boy brother Jiang Chen, don't feel too uncomfortable at a time like this. Tutor Ye's mindset was such that he did not worry or care about public opinion. He has a very unique view of judging people and problems. Things like birth and status were just clouds floating around for him. To him, there was no fundamental difference between a prince and a commoner.”    

A senior elder standing at the peak of a kingdom would naturally not have a different stance. Jiang Chen did not doubt this.    

“I think the person the prince brought this first time will be addressed to you. Jiang Chen, you must be mentally prepared.”    

Jiang Chen's troubles with the Dragon Tooth Guard had caused quite a stir, and Lu Wuji had been set up as an example within an inch of his life. As the person behind him, the first prince would definitely be let down.    

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, “Since we came, let's stay and enjoy it. Nothing to worry about.”    

Tutor Manor Courtyard, a quiet and secluded place in the capital.    

The group of four quickly arrived at the entrance of the Tutor Manor.    

At that time, the entrance of Tutor Manor was crowded with incredible activity and noise. Any young disciple who received the invitation would clean themselves well and come to participate in the banquet.    

There was a small and beautiful woman with an agile and graceful body in front of the door. She wore minimal makeup and a polite smile that did not lose the slightest bit of her spirit as she greeted all the guests with a smile.    

“Jiang Chen, that woman is named Dan Fei. Tutor Ye adopted him when he was young. He was Tutor Ye's student, but Tutor Ye actually treated him like a grandson and loved him dearly.”    

When Tian Shao introduced Dan Fei, he lowered his voice as much as possible, obviously very afraid of this Dan Fei.    

Jiang Chen raised his head to look at Dan Fei when he heard Tian Shao speak like this.    

The girl was dignified and polite with clear white skin and slightly painted eyebrows. The feeling of a super woman radiated from her movements, giving Jiang Chen a first impression that these — women were not women to be taken lightly.    

“Ye Rong's younger brother greets Dan Fei.” The personality of fourth prince Ye Rong was very revealing as he walked forward with a smile like someone greeting an old friend, and sketched a bow.    

“Ye Rong, you little monkey! Mm, you seem to be getting taller after a few months I didn't see you.” The girl named Dan Fei was roughly the same age as Gouyu and thus, she was naturally much older than Ye Rong.    

“Sister Dan Fei, still calling me that on the occasion of today is tantamount to denying your sister many faces!” Ye Rong deliberately looked a little depressed, but in her heart she was happy.    

He knew that Master Ye's precious disciple, Dan Fei, still had a pretty positive impression of him.    

Dan Fei laughed lightly as her slender neck moved slightly, exposing the snow-white skin on her nape and adding a few traces of allure.    

The tip of his finger gently touched Ye Rong's nose, he said, “Quick in! Your brother has arrived.”    

Ye Rong chuckled, “Saudari Dan Fei, is the teacher in good health?”    

“Yes, his health is quite good. However, he had been worrying about a few things lately. Uh, right too, you don't know?”    

Dan Fei looked at the three friends that Ye Rong had brought, and her almond eyes had a hint of shock in them as she swept them towards Jiang Chen and the others.    

"What's going on?" Ye Rong was shocked as her heart sank at that moment, feeling that she had missed something important.    

Dan Fei spread her arms, “Alright, come in first. Let's talk if you get a chance. I need to greet others here.”    

Ye Rong put on a sour face, “Alright, sister Dan Fei, you should tell me later. Master has been so kind to me that I should at least bear some of his burden for him.”    

Dan Fei sighed lightly but she did not say anything.    

Ye Rong knew Dan Fei's personality and he precisely led Jiang Chen and the others in.    

After passing through the door, a large courtyard was seen. It is quite spacious and designed according to the style of the garden. It was like a beautiful garden.    

There were artificial mountains, pavilions, running water, and bridges.    

The elite disciples of the kingdom who had come to participate in the banquet were all gathered together together or three, talking and laughing. Everyone is excited and excited.    

The Skylaurel Kingdom was among the best of the sixteen royal alliances. Young disciples from all over the kingdom were overwhelmed with the confidence and attitude found only within the powerful kingdom.    

Judging from this point of view, their level as a whole was indeed much higher than that of the noble disciples of the Eastern Kingdom.    

Of the previous disciples of the Eastern Kingdom nobles, putting aside Jiang Chen, the only ones entitled to enter an event like this were most likely the brothers and sisters of the Long family.    

Any smallest disciple here would be many times better than any disciple of the four great families.    

“Kingdom Skylaurel is not strong for no reason.” Jiang Chen had this direct thought in his heart.    

Since he was following Ye Rong's entourage this time around, Jiang Chen would naturally not replace his host. He remained humble beside Ye Rong and avoided unnecessary trouble to the best of his ability.    

Ye Rong's personality was friendly, with a bit of humor in his glee. This caused him to have quite a lot of connections with the royal noble disciples.    

Therefore, many greeted him with smiles wherever he went.    

“Number four, I remember you were always being humble. Why do I feel like your style seems to be changing lately?”    

As Ye Rong was greeting a famous acquaintance, someone walked out of the side garden and walked in a slightly mocking tone.
