The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 170

Ye Rong specially prepared a gift this time. He also painstakingly chose his followers, Jiang Chen and Tian Shao, who were the more famous youths of late, and Lin Qianli, a genius disciple from the Southern Palace.    

He thought he would be able to perform quite well this time.    

Who would have thought that Ye Dai would improve himself completely and have three followers in the spirit realm! This was simply unimaginable in the past!    

Moreover, Ye Dai's gift, the Yellow Dragon Painting Observing the Ocean, had basically set the atmosphere as soon as the painting appeared. The other person's gift was just a joke in front of the painting. They are not at all on the same level.    

“Number four, what are you preparing for this time? You have to reveal it to everyone to open their world view.” Third prince Ye Zheng said with a smile that contained a hint of provocation.    

Ye Rong felt Dan Fei's gaze fixed on him and tried hard to calm down. He told himself that he should not lose his composure and that he should remain stable. He could not lose his elegance at any cost, he could not lose his dignity in front of the esteemed teacher and Dan Fei.    

“Saudari Dan Fei, the esteemed teacher is a learned sage who is not from this world. This younger brother was afraid that he was not interested in ordinary and ordinary things. Therefore, I have obtained one item that is the youngster of the Swordteeth Flying Fox. This animal has quite a spiritual nature. As big as the Skylaurel Kingdom, I can't think of anyone else other than a respectable teacher to enhance the fox's spiritual nature.”    

Even Ye Dai was a little surprised as Ye Rong said his words. He looked at Ye Rong meaningfully, inwardly displeased.    

It could be seen from this gift that Ye Rong had indeed spent a lot of effort on it. Although the Flying Fox Sword Teeth was not a rare or precious beast, if one could increase his spiritual nature, he would evolve into a spirit beast someday. This meant that one would have spirit beasts that were on par with spirit realm practitioners.    

The most important thing was that the Flying Fox Swordteeth child had more spirit properties than any other beast and he was deeply connected to the spirit world. The size is small and the outside look is very cute. This makes a very good first impression on others.    

Moreover, Tutor Ye did not have many hobbies, but nurturing all kinds of rare and precious beasts was his greatest hobby. Although the tiger cub that Ye Rong presented was not worth the value of the Yellow Dragon Painting Observing the Ocean, it was another case if it was one of the hobbies of that esteemed teacher.    

“Ye Rong, this bastard, looks like his ambition is not dead yet. He must have thought about this matter a long time ago, of course to curry favor with that esteemed teacher. He is just a prince born of a concubine, does he dare to compete with me, a prince with the right bloodline, for the position of Crown Prince?” Ye Dai did have a reason to feel annoyed.    

Ye Rong's recent appearance made her feel extremely unhappy.    

Dan Fei looked at the Swordteeth Flying Fox child that Ye Rong had offered. The little creature rolled its eyes as its plump claws gripped onto a piece of fruit. He left happily, ignoring everyone around him and looking very adorable.    

Women naturally love pets. When he saw this little thing was very cute, Dan Fei also liked it very much and he could not help but play it in the slightest.    

“Number four, where did you find this little boy? She's so adorable.” Dan Fei smiled and seemed to be saying a word with careless praise.    

Ye Rong was happy, but she spoke with a humble expression. “I happened to find it by chance.”    

How did he not know that the seemingly careless words of sister Dan Fei were actually for her to express herself in front of an esteemed teacher?    

He felt a little gratitude in his heart. He knew that Dan Fei's sister was still pretty good to him.    

Although Ye Dai kept a friendly smile on his face, he felt disgusted like he had just eaten a fly. Sister Dan Fei was actually smiling and sweet at Ye Rong. This made Ye Dai feel unwell, as if Ye Rong had snatched away something precious to him.    

At this moment, Lu Wuji spoke from behind him, “The Fourth Prince's Flying Fox Child is indeed a fun and interesting toy. I wonder what the three people behind the fourth prince have prepared for the landlord? Let's all improve our worldview as well.”    

Lu Wuji knew very well how to seize opportunities. When he saw Ye Dai looking calm on the surface, he knew that the first prince must be very upset at the moment.    

When he saw this opportunity, he knew that it was time to bear some of his master's burden for him.    

Since you, Ye Rong, are looking for the limelight, then we will start with your followers. We'll make your followers fool themselves and use them to dim your spotlight.    

In Lu Wuji's eyes, Tian Shao was merely a mere commander and someone who was no match for a higher level. Even though he had already been promoted to deputy general by now, he was still very poor. What good things would he have? Taking a step back, the question was whether he had prepared a gift for the lordmaster.    

As for Lin Qianli, that Southern Palace disciple had a stone-like personality in ******. He was stinky and loud, and he was not someone who knew the way of life of the world at all. How does he prepare the gift?    

As for Jiang Chen, that person had some good things, but this was the first time he had participated in an event like this. He had never really seen the world. Will he prepare a bountiful gift? Lu Wuji did not believe it either.    

It was true, Ye Rong's thin smiling face became a little stiff after Lu Wuji spoke.    

Adept at observing people's expressions, Lu Wuji immediately grasped these details and guessed that Ye Rong must not have had his followers prepare presents.    

Especially Jiang Chen. He had even not long arrived at the capital, was he willing to part with a large sum of money to prepare a gift? Absolutely not!    

He seems to bet correctly.    

It is true, the first prince showed an expression of admiration as he glanced towards Lu Wuji, “Number four, your flying fox is not bad and you really think about it. This way, I am a little curious about what gifts your followers have prepared.”    

Ye Dai's eyes were sharp and cruel. How could he not see that Ye Rong was in trouble? It kicked a man when he fell, and it would make Ye Rong look bad.    

If Ye Rong did not have his followers prepare presents, he would really lose face.    

Ye Zheng had always had a bad relationship with Ye Rong and he was also a loyal confidant of the first prince. When he saw the first prince open his mouth, Ye Zheng immediately agreed, “That's right. Number four, you've spent so much thought this time, you can't possibly let your followers come empty-handed, right?”    

These words are a little unclear. But Ye Zheng had always been rude, so the others had gotten used to his straightforwardness.    

As for the sons and disciples of other nobles and the various dukes, this was a matter between princes. They would naturally not stand up and say anything. The most important thing was that they had no right to say anything in a scene like this.    

It seemed that everything was fine and a friendly atmosphere began to feel.    

But in reality, the light and shadows of all kinds of swords and swords flew towards Ye Rong ferociously.    

Ye Rong never thought that the first prince would take action against him openly. The smile on his face became a little stiff at that moment.    

Dan Fei had a smart heart and knew that Ye Dai was suppressing Ye Rong when she saw this situation.    

He smiled faintly, “Alright, the so-called gift offering is just to provide entertainment. Lordmaster does not make a rule that people should offer gifts.”    

Ye Dai smiled handsomely and said nothing.    

Yet Ye Zheng deliberately pretended to be stupid, “Saudari Dan Fei, don't be too biased. We have prepared a gift for all our followers, but you try to help number four save money.”    

These words were half joking and half serious. They were one step forward in forcing Ye Rong down a path that could not come back again.    

Ye Rong was in a deep depression right now. Followers do not need to prepare gifts specifically in previous years. The princes never faced each other in this kind of showdown, making it openly difficult for each other to find a way out.    

Ye Zheng looked like he was joking, but he actually had very evil intentions.    

Just as Ye Rong was out of his mind and he was preparing to make small talk, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed lightly behind him and said in a self-reproving tone, “Fourth Prince, my deepest apology. It was my first time participating in this big event and I was so nervous that I forgot to take the wonderful gift we had prepared. The lordmaster had a noble character and high prestige. As the royal guardian spirit king, how could we juniors not express our feelings? Hopefully this bottle of wine is considered a sentiment from the three of us.”    

Jiang Chen took out something from behind him after he finished speaking. It was a wooden wine jug. The design of this jug is ordinary and common. It looked like a jug made of green vines, and did not look expensive at all.    

When Lu Wuji saw Jiang Chen take out this jug of wine, he burst into laughter.    

These jugs were too ugly, even worse than those found on the market. The items that the merchant placed in his lapel would at least be neatly wrapped in order to look generous.    

What is this wine jug? Rough, simple, and unsightly.    

Most likely no one would pick up this thing if it was thrown into the street. Jiang Chen actually used it to fill up the wine and gave it as a gift to the spirit king's protector, Tutor Ye!    

This.this is blasphemy.    

When they saw Jiang Chen take out a wine jug, the expression of the other people present was also a work of art.    

There was ridicule, shock, cold sneers, some were shaking their heads, and some were in disbelief.    

It was obvious that anyone could even use his feet to think and came to the conclusion that this was not a specially prepared gift. This was something they had taken hastily from their bodies as they were pushed up the wall by Ye Zheng.    

Could this kid be an alcoholic? This jug is the jug he always carries to drink?    

“Prince Ye Rong lost too much face this time. The follower was being foolish for wanting to carry the burden of his master. What kind of help is this? It slapped the face of its own master!”    

“Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Where did Prince Ye Rong find such an unreliable follower? Ai, other than the second prince Ye Qiao, who might be able to compete with the first prince, this fourth prince Ye Rong is still far away.”    

“Now, not even Dan Fei's sister will be able to find a way out for Ye Rong.”    

Those present had their own thoughts, but all of them had the mindset of watching a good show, and wanted to see how this joke was resolved.    

Ye Zheng patted his forehead and smiled excessively, “Number four, are you sure about this? This... this is the so-called specially prepared gift?”    

“Haha, specially prepared, okay. This gift is completely different from the others, okay. Truly a unique sight, hahaha!” Lu Wuji did not hide his sarcastic implications at all.    

“Number four, speak frankly if your followers are not preparing a gift! Taking something like this is an insult to the ears and eyes. It's a bit bad!” said Ye Zheng.    

It was Ye Dai who smiled and stepped out to say, “Alright, just think of this little interlude as a distraction to liven up the atmosphere. Sister Dan Fei, let's get this stuff first. Otherwise.. face number four... ”    

This Ye Dai pretended to be a good person now as he spoke in a tone like a caring big brother.    

Ye Rong was also a little surprised and he glanced towards Jiang Chen. He saw a shadow of a smile on Jiang Chen's face, and he was completely unconcerned with the ridicule and ridicule from the outside world.    

With his understanding of Jiang Chen, Ye Rong felt that Jiang Chen would not pick up any damaged and damaged items without any reason. He said without commitment, “Sister, since this is a gift, why take it? What can we learn from many things if we only see the outside appearance? There was a saying that the outside was a fine jade, but the inside was filled with rotten materials. A beautiful exterior does not necessarily show a good interior. On the contrary, what seems simple is not necessarily something bad.”    

Ye Dai was surprised. He did not expect that this number four player, who usually never competed for anything, would not only not be filled with gratitude for his “help”, but would also reply to him!
