The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 178

To be honest, he did not think that Jiang Chen was a suspicious character trying to take advantage of him. Dan Fei silently observed this young man. Even when the Nine Grape Dews of Greatness he offered had been chosen as the best gift, there was no visible change to the young man's expression. This timid expression was simply not something a young man could do.    

Jiang Chen had even given up his coveted opportunity to ask a question to the esteemed teacher when his gift was chosen as the best, handing it over to his two friends.    

Dan Fei also knew that some young men liked to pretend that they were deep or carefree to attract her attention.    

Dan Fei initially also suspected that Jiang Chen was pretending.    

But after repeated observations consciously and unconsciously, he realized that he had been thinking too much. Jiang Chen did not pretend, he really did not care about him.    

When Lin Qianli and Tian Shao asked their questions, Jiang Chen's eyes even closed. That completely indifferent expression just took away the words tattooed on his face – what does all this have to do with me?    

Even when he led the Dragon-Phoenix out later, everyone's attention was on him and they all wanted to give it a try. Although Jiang Chen was also paying attention, his face immediately looked flat and bland afterwards, as if the matter of the Dragon-Phoenix was something he was not interested in at all.    

If not for Han Xianke's final diagnosis being too ludicrous and causing JIang Chen to laugh out loud, it was likely that Jiang Chen would not even open his mouth at all.    

After Dan Fei's analysis, if Jiang Chen was still pretending, then this young man's acting ability was simply too good.    

In both cases, Dan Fei felt that Jiang Chen was not being open, and most likely had an understanding of these Dragons.    

At the very least, he already knew that Dragon-Phoenix was male without even having to walk forward. He could also make accurate judgments in about thirty years or so. The outside world has no way of accessing this information.    

Dan Fei did not expect that a young man would be lucky to guess correctly with just one random word.    

Jiang Chen was also clearly less interested in Ye Rong and Ye Dai's verbal fight. He wriggled lazily and said to Dan Fei, “Beautiful woman, I just spoke carelessly, You can listen to her as much as you want. If anyone thinks my words are ridiculous, I welcome everyone to slap me in the face with more accurate evidence. Otherwise, people will stop whining and crying if you have no proof. Your voice is disturbing my ears.”    

Dan Fei was also a little disappointed by Ye Dai's performance today.    

His brows furrowed, he spoke weakly, “If you two want to fight, get out of here and fight on the main road. Let the citizens of the capital see how their prince acts.”    

Ye Rong smiled miserably and bowed, “Saudari Dan Fei, the younger brother here always tries to hold back. Unfortunately, even though I tried to restrain myself, they continued to threaten me.”    

Ye Dai roared, "Ye Rong, don't act like you're innocent!"    

Dan Fei's face darkened, “Are you two done?”    

Even though the two of them were princes, they still had no right to act cruelly in front of Dan Fei. The two of them closed their mouths, but their gazes at each other were full of hostility.    

Dan Fei's jade face was annoyed as she looked at the two with a displeased feeling. He turned around and walked towards the old teacher. As the matter had progressed to this point, he could only ask for an opinion from the Lordmaster.    

The old master did not say anything as he used his consciousness to observe everything.    

As Dan Fei walked over, the old teacher suddenly stood up and spoke to Jiang Chen, “ Little sister, you mean Dragon-Phoenix is getting hot? Is this something to worry about?”    

Jiang Chen was not the type to pretend, as the old teacher had asked him specifically, naturally he would not act as casually as if he was an expert. After all, his identity in this life was really that of a junior of an old teacher.    

“My lord, this is a cause for concern and not a cause for concern. Dragon-Phoenix is not like humans. The yang qi within his body became increasingly stronger as a direct result of the inadequate handling of that qi within his body. If this continued, it would eventually result in Yang Qi separating from the body and causing damage to the meridians. In serious cases, his body would explode. His current appearance of not wanting to eat or drink was only an early symptom. You will face a difficult case when things get this serious!    

“This is only an early symptom?” The old master had seen many strange things in his life, but what Jiang Chen said at this moment was rather new and interesting.    

Jiang Chen nodded, “You will know how scary it is when it really starts happening in a few months. But with the power of the lordmaster, you should be able to control it.”    

The master smiled wryly. This is his precious horse! Staying controlled? This was not what the old teacher had in mind. He just wanted to heal her so as not to continue suffering.    

“The words of little sister are quite refreshing to the ears of this old man. I wonder who the master of that little brother is? How do you know about Dragon-Phoenix?”    

Everyone took a sharp breath hearing these words.    

What status does the esteemed tutor have? Yet here he was, speaking in a polite and considerate tone, taking a kind-hearted attitude when asking Jiang Chen, and even referring to Jiang Chen as his younger brother!    

This...it completely changes everyone's knowledge!    

At that moment, even the first prince Ye Dai felt his mind was muddled and completely confused. He was also almost crazy from envy and his stomach was filled with frustrated fury. He wanted to explode immediately, but had nowhere to vent his painful feelings.    

How could he vent his feelings? Losing patience with Dan Fei? Or throw his load on a respectable tutor?    

He has no right or courage to do so. Taking a step back, even if he had the courage, the other party would not care about him at all.    

So what if he was the first prince? Master Ye has passed the reigns of several kings. Why would he even care about the feelings of a prince who wasn't even the Crown Prince?    

Jiang Chen chuckled, “Master, the first prince and they were rather right. I am a village clown from the Eastern Kingdom. I don't have a master, just the luck of being able to meet such an amazing person and spend half a year with him when I was young. We are good friends despite our different ages, and coexist like teachers and students. I often listen to his chatter and hear a few things. The matter of Dragon-Phoenix also came from the mouth of this senior.”    

After all, there were a lot of inexplicable things about him. All of this could be transferred to that imaginary and mysterious person.    

The sky is wide. No one has ever met this mysterious person, so no one can prove that he does not exist.    

The old teacher was an open-minded person. He thought back and forth and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Jiang Chen's words.    

After all, no one would believe if the son of a duke from the Eastern Kingdom had an outstanding master or used his master to intimidate others.    

Moreover, it was impossible for a teacher of that strength, who had a thorough knowledge of the Dragon-Phoenix secret, to exist within the sixteen kingdoms.    

Ye Chonglou's strength was incredible and he had adventured in many places when he was young. He was quite familiar with the overall strength of the sixteen neighboring kingdoms.    

Even a major sect like the Precious Tree Sect, who were in the sixteen kingdom alliance, would have no knowledge of an ancient lineage like the Dragon-Phoenix.    

In reality, the old master trusted Jiang Chen once he mentioned the ancient bloodline.    

An inexplicable sense of uneasiness had arisen in the old master's heart at that moment, but, after all, he was still an experienced and intelligent person.    

He would naturally not jump out impatiently and seek knowledge just because of a single word from a young man.    

When he heard Jiang Chen speak thus, the old master sighed and there was actually a hint of envy and longing in his voice, “The male sister is indeed lucky. The outstanding senior who once established a relationship with you must be someone who is at an extraordinary level of existence. Oh right, did he really say that the Dragon-Phoenix was an ancient lineage, the result of a cross between a phoenix and a dragon?”    

"Yes." Yeah."    

“And the highest level of Dragon-Phoenix reached twelve wings?”    

“Theoretically, yes, but his experience may not reach the limits of Dragon-Phoenix. Maybe there was a higher level that he had never contacted? The world is vast, and no one can speak for sure, right?”    

Ye Chonglou quite agreed and revealed an expression full of extreme longing. He sighed, “The twelve-winged Dragon-Phoenix bloodline is definitely very pure, not to mention the level of its existence. I was very lucky to meet even a five-winged Phoenix Dragon in this life.”    

Jiang Chen did not reply. The old teacher knew his limitations. It was true, even meeting a five-winged Dragon-Phoenix from an ancient bloodline was a great fortune.    

Twelve wings? Don't even dream about it. It was a horse that could only be expected to be encountered by legendary figures from all realms of existence.    

Twelve wings meant this was the strongest form of a rare creature, a king at the very top. It cannot be tamed through force or art at all.    

Ye Chonglou quickly switched from an admiring and smiling mood, “I lost my composure now. Little brother, how do you think we should treat this spirit-loving creature?”    

“Best way is to find a partner naturally.” Jiang Chen smiled. “Except, I think the Phoenix-Dragon bloodline is something that can only be expected to be encountered by chance, and cannot be obtained through search. By the time you find his partner, most likely he has exploded and died a long time ago.”    

Ye Chonglou had a face full of sadness. Jiang Chen's words spoke in his heart. Where would he go and look for a female for the Dragon-Phoenix?    

Things like this were basically something that could be obtained through luck, but could never be obtained through quests.    

“Then, is there any other way?” Ye Chonglou asked.    

“Ya, and in fact, it is the most common method.” A hint of a strange smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Chen's face.    

"What's that?"    

“Leave and fix everything for good.”    

The entire hall became in an uproar after Jiang Chen spoke. A hint of embarrassment flashed across Dan Fei's beautiful eyes as she stomped her feet lightly, her face flushed red.    

This Jiang Chen was actually trying to surprise everyone every time he opened his mouth. Castrate it! This.. could this be called the most common method? This means stop eating for fear of choking!    

Ye Chonglou grinned wryly on his face, “You... are you kidding?”    

Jiang Chen spoke seriously, “How can this be a joke? In reality, the Dragon-Phoenix had always been a powerful being in yin yet weak in yang. If Tutor Ye accepted the female one, her potential was limitless. However, the male Phoenix Dragon was always there to serve the females, even until it was sacrificed for their sake. Usually after intercourse, the blood essence of a man and his meridians will be absorbed entirely by women. When the male dies, the female will eat the flesh and blood of the male and give birth to the next generation. This is an endless network of life and death. When the Dragon-Phoenix gender is determined, it will determine their very different fate.”    

Even Ye Dai began to be affected by this explanation. He really wanted to find flaws in Jiang Chen's words, but he was unable to find anything no matter how he looked.    

If it was him, Ye Dai, on stage, could he concoct such a subtle lie? Make the perfect excuse? Of course not!    

“Could this brat really have such incredible luck, and be in a relationship with such an amazing person to receive these damned tips? He made such a play for himself in front of an esteemed teacher. This... this kid's luck got to the heaven-defying point!”    

Ye Dai was so depressed that he almost exploded. He was also so envious of Jiang Chen's cursed luck that he was about to go crazy, blabbering.
