The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 177
It was actually not because Jiang Chen was deliberately taking issue with Ye Dai, but rather because the first prince had provoked him and was trying to force him to submit repeatedly.
Jiang Chen did not want to cause trouble, but he could not resist the repeated provocation of these people.
Of course, he didn't mind when they dubbed him a village clown, but he really hated and hated the first prince's high sense of superiority.
This disgust had once appeared on Long Juxue and the sect disciples of the Purple Sun Sect. He appeared once again with the group around the first prince.
They acted as if they were revered children of heaven so everyone naturally had to be subjected to abuse and humiliation, and trample on them!
What Jiang Chen hated the most were idiots who obviously meant nothing, but liked to pretend that they were proud children of heaven.
If one were to talk about geniuses, or geniuses that the gods liked, who would be more entitled to be labeled as such apart from Jiang Chen, who was the son of the Celestial Emperor in his past life!
However, Jiang Chen had never said that he was a genius, and had never used a lofty and holier attitude than you to master others.
What do true geniuses need for labels? Why do they seek satisfaction by oppressing others?
Dan Fei was a little surprised to see Jiang Chen refute Ye Dai. He wanted to smooth things out, but then, his mind raced and he suddenly wanted to see what was behind Jiang Chen's arm. Calming words were already at the end of his tongue, but he swallowed them again.
Right now, second prince Ye Qiao was also smiling. “True sister, if you do have a brilliant idea, share it with us so that we can all add to our knowledge as well.”
Ye Rong was also denounced. Although Ye Dai underestimated Jiang Chen from the looks of it, he was actually targeting Ye Rong in the end.
“Sister, since you said I was immature and ignorant, then you should do something mature and thoughtful to set an example for us. If you can help a respectable tutor resolve his or her predicament, then our Sibling will also be subject to your excellence. Otherwise, if you only know how to be rude to everyone and shout at others, how will you be a role model for us, brother?”
Prince Ye Rong had never publicly voiced his opinion against Ye Dai, but he ended up unwilling to hold back now.
Ye Dai smiled coldly, “Your followers even dared to offend the genius of a sect, what else does he not want to do? Is there any point in us saying something?”
Lu Wuji immediately added, “That's right, Jiang Chen, your unprecedented way when you say that sect geniuses can't do anything about it. What, can you finish this?”
Han Xianke also spoke coldly, “Jiang Chen, you are an ordinary ant and you dare to say that I am making up a false story. This was not only an insult to a sect disciple but also an insult to the Precious Tree Sect.”
Everyone raised their weapons while using words to suppress Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was not as committed as the clouds and wind as he said weakly, “Stop behaving. Sect disciples needed to use their true abilities and knowledge to prove themselves. Using their reputation to master others was not an act of genius, but an act of useless trash. You said I was just an ordinary ant. If you find that a problem that you, the so-called genius, cannot solve is actually handled by an ant, then what would you think? Where are you going to put your face?”
"You?" Han Xianke could not help but laugh out loud. “You're a mediocre person who doesn't even exist in the spirit realm! You don't even have the right to approach Dragon-Phoenix. You're gonna handle this? If you can take care of it, I, Han Xianke, will immediately admit that I am a trash and you are a genius. I'll even be your dog from now on!”
“Be my dog? Heh heh, I'm afraid you're not qualified for that.” Jiang Chen smiled recklessly.
Dan Fei's almond eyes moved slightly as a glimmer of hope flashed across her eyes. “You're called Jiang Chen? Did you just say that this creature is called the Five Winged Phoenix Dragon?”
Jiang Chen nodded, “That's right, his real name is Five-winged Phoenix Dragon.”
“But, we always call it Dragon-Phoenix.”
“Naga-Phoenix is his origin, and Wing Five is his outer appearance. The lineage of crossbreeding between a phoenix and a dragon has been passed down since ancient times, with the lineage becoming increasingly diluted from each generation. This Five Winged Phoenix Dragon was considered a low-level inheritance. A very strong legacy lies in the Twelve Winged Dragon-Phoenix. Well, it's really something!”
“Twelve winged?” Looks of doubt were revealed in Dan Fei's beautiful eyes.
“Jiang Chen, don't tell too long a story. Who doesn't know how to tell a story? How about you give us an explanation of what is wrong with these Dragons?” Han Xianke said furiously.
“Do not try to provoke me now, I actually know more about this problem than you.”
Dan Fei's almond-shaped eyes widened. “Jiang Chen, do you really know? Tell us, tell us, what is wrong with Dragon-Phoenix?”
“Honored teacher has been raising these Dragon-Phoenix since he was young, right? That span of time was equivalent to roughly thirty years or so, right?”
“This... how do you know?” Dan Fei was surprised.
As for the old master who had been sitting in his chair all this time, a beam of light suddenly shot out from his eyes towards Jiang Chen.
“From the various emotions shown by this Dragon-Phoenix, it is most likely that it is male. These problems will not arise if the culprit is female.”
“You even know this? Did you secretly observe him earlier?” Dan Fei was even more confused.
“Things like mismatched climates and wild nature are nonsense. The Dragon-Phoenix was one of the more easily tamed creatures among the lineages of ancient spirit beasts. They behave like this for only one reason.”
"And what is it?" Dan Fei asked involuntarily.
Dan Fei immediately flushed. “Jiang Chen, you talk nonsense.”
Jiang Chen said seriously, “Breeding all beings on earth and under the heavens is a law of nature. How can this be nonsense?”
Seeing Jiang Chen speak so seriously, Dan Fei sparred with a red face, “You said it. Even though you are right, why has this never happened before? He.... This is suddenly?”
"Stupid! Did I just open my mouth when I said he was about thirty? We humans begin to develop when we are thirteen or fourteen years old and begin to understand the problems between men and women. The Dragon-Phoenix develops late and only begins to mature after thirty years old. He had never done this before because he was young. Now that it had begun to develop, he thought of all sorts of random thoughts. You understand me?"
Even an open girl like Dan Fei blushed from Jiang Chen's words. For some reason, even though Jiang Chen's conclusion sounded like unfounded gossip, he still believed seventy to eighty percent of what he heard.
It had to be said that Jiang Chen's conclusion was frightening and shocking to the ears.
Most of the noble disciples present did not believe him and felt that Jiang Chen was speaking beyond his expectations. But even though he was just nonsense, they still admired his courage.
Please note, nonsense at times like this contains a high risk. After all, the person sitting on the stage was an immortal royal totem, Master Ye Chonglou!
And, if Jiang Chen's loose words were spoken randomly, then he must be teasing and teasing sister Dan Fei. If Dan Fei were to finally find out that Jiang Chen was leading her, she would definitely die a terrible death.
Who did not know that even though it was the prince of the royal family, no one dared to speak recklessly in front of Dan Fei? Otherwise, Dan Fei would also give them cold treatment.
Ye Rong felt both happy and worried as he watched Jiang Chen continue. He knew that Jiang Chen often made surprising moves, and he had never failed in doing a single one of those moves.
He was happy that Jiang Chen had taken action, but was worried that if he messed things up this time around, the consequences would be severe.
Honorable Tutor Ye would not be able to hold back his anger, and even sister Dan Fei would not show a kind face to him from then onward.
Ye Rong could only pray inwardly, “Jiang Chen ah, please don't mess this up. Ah forget it, I was the one who brought Jiang Chen here. If I don't believe him, then who else? If I use someone, I can't suspect it. If I suspect someone, then I can't use it. If I, Ye Rong, have set my resolve to compete for the position of Crown Prince, then I need the tolerance of a would-be ruler. My starting point in all areas is less than Ye Dai. If my sense of adventure is inferior to her, then in what other ways can I compete with her?”
Ye Rong was also a strict person. Just like what he said when he first recruited Jiang Chen, he and Jiang Chen were both buried in gold in the sand.
He felt that he and Jiang Chen were basically similar. They are destined to emerge from the masses and surpass the common people.
Therefore, he decided to take this gamble and risk everything on Jiang Chen.
Ye Dai had been lectured thoroughly by Jiang Chen before and his pride naturally made him feel extremely humiliated as the first prince. Now that he saw Jiang Chen continue on with such a trivial topic, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like Jiang Chen was making a huge joke.
Ye Dai knew that this was the right time to make a move against his opponent.
He took a step forward and shouted, “Jiang Chen, sister Dan Fei is a prima donna with a rare charm. Don't speak so badly in front of him! What kind of diagnosis is this? You're acting like a thug! So despicable!”
Ye Dai showed a polite and graceful attitude in protecting Dan Fei.
He cupped his hands again and said to Dan Fei, “Saudari Dan Fei, this child is the son of a little duke in the Eastern Kingdom. He's a village clown, what does he know about spirit beasts? This boy had a sharp tongue, and he was very good at lying. Sister Dan Fei, don't be fooled by her lies.
Lu Wuji also added, “True, in addition to his intelligent mouth and eloquent tongue, this brat does not have the actual ability as his name implies.”
Third prince Ye Zheng also sighed, "I can't believe that, even though the sons and disciples of the Skylaurel Kingdom nobles that we are proud of are numerous, along with countless experts, here we are, here we are, listen to a secluded kid babbling."
Ye Dai felt more confident from receiving the support from so many people. He roared with a self-justifying sense of justice, “Number four, if you still want any face as a member of the royal family, have this remote clown shut his mouth. What is your intention to speak so obscenely and blaspheme against sister Dan Fei?”
This great evil came towards Ye Rong and Jiang Chen.
Blaspheming sister Dan Fei was a crime enough to make the many sons and disciples of the young nobles present view one as a common enemy.
We should know, most of these young men had subtle thoughts with regards to Dan Fei. She was graceful and beautiful, calm and dignified. She was the goddess that many noble sons had in their hearts.
Very beautiful appearance, graceful and noble demeanor, and the most favored disciple of Tutor Ye. No matter from which angle they looked at it, Dan Fei was the most perfect goddess.
Ye Rong had been oppressed several times by Ye Dai and also said with displeasure, “First Prince, I respect you as an elder brother and have always been tolerant of your oppression. You said that Jiang Chen spoke casually with no basis at all. I'd like to ask you, what proof do you have that he speaks casually? Since the person you invited could not handle this matter, you forbid my guest to speak in return?”
"Evidence? Is evidence needed to undo his silly words?” Ye Dai smiled coldly and wondered if Ye Rong was so stupid because his brain was sandwiched between the doors.
“You only slander others if you have no proof.” Ye Rong had also stirred up his anger and did not retreat at all. He knew that if he retreated from here, then his entire life would be equivalent to being beaten to the ground by the first prince. He would never have a chance to redeem himself.
On the contrary, if he were to survive under attack this time or even become the top one, then it would increase his reputation in the capital and give him the right to compete fairly with Ye Dai!
Seeing the two brothers insist on their side, Dan Fei was also in a difficult position. At that time, he would invite unnecessary trouble if he sided with any party and caused the atmosphere to become even more chaotic.
