The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapters 180

It must be said, a single word from that esteemed teacher was more useful than any golden law or any precious rule.    

Qiao Shan and Qiao Chuan were brought here after a while. Both of them obviously suffered greatly in the Black Dungeons, and they looked a little worse when worn.    

Tian Shao stepped out appropriately, “Fourth Prince, brother Jiang, let me escort the Qiao brothers back.”    

His mission had been completed, and it was time to come out and lighten some of Jiang Chen's burden.    

“Alright, General Tian, we must trouble you to travel.” Ye Rong nodded.    

Qiao Shan and Qiao Chuan also knew that they had made a mistake and did not dare to look Jiang Chen in the eyes. Jiang Chen walked over, patted them on the shoulder and said, “Let's talk when we get back.”    

First prince Ye Dai failed in two consecutive segments. As her face was filled with dust thanks to Ye Rong, for the time being she was less interested in the process for now.    

Now that Jiang Chen had saved the Qiao brothers, their previous plan to use those brothers to provoke Jiang Chen into performing a martial demonstration was also naturally shattered.    

The most interesting thing was that the lordmaster had Dan Fei announce, “There will be no martial demonstration for this year's banquet. Everyone is free to drink and chat.”    

After he made the announcement, the old master took out the Nine Glory Dew Wine, took the Five Winged Dragon-Phoenix away and casually left, leaving behind a group of teenagers with open mouths and wide eyes.    

They wanted to show their prowess in martial arts shows, and might attract the attention of esteemed teachers if they displayed their skills well.    

“Sister Dan Fei, what's with the esteemed teacher today? There are martial arts demonstrations every year. Why was it suddenly canceled this year?”    

Ye Dai was a little surprised. He brought some spirit realm practitioners with him this time and thought that he would be able to show himself in the martial demonstration segment.    

Although he had lost a lot of face in the previous two segments, he had thought about it and still hoped to find an opportunity to strike back at Jiang Chen.    

He did not expect that it would end as if the esteemed teacher had known of his intentions and thus immediately canceled the demonstration.    

However Dan Fei, smiled faintly, “Master had investigated everyone's martial dao development the first time he entered. Right now, whether we hold a martial demonstration or not, it is meaningless for mister.”    

The additional tone of his words was clear, “Enhancement of your martial dao was not enough in the past year to surprise master. This martial demonstration was not required at all.”    

When Tutor Ye entered, he used his footsteps to interrupt the heartbeat of the people present as a test. Other than Jiang Chen, Old Master had fully assessed the martial dao training of all present.    

Ye Dai was disappointed once again seeing Dan Fei's cool reaction.    

Even the martial arts demonstration has been cancelled. That meant he, Ye Dai, had no chance to redeem himself during this birthday party. He has failed completely.    

What happens next is just eating and drinking.    

As the first prince, how much interest in eating and drinking for Ye Dai?    

Plus, everyone at the banquet was discussing what happened today and talking excitedly whenever they talked about Jiang Chen.    

It was obvious that the main character of the banquet was Jiang Chen.    

Even the fourth prince Ye Rong appeared more often as a topic of conversation than the first prince.    

No matter how thick Ye Dai's skin was, he couldn't stay seated at a time like this. As if he was attending a business meeting, he drank a glass of wine and left with a dark face.    

Although Jiang Chen really wanted to leave, he had to clear things up for Ye Rong at least a little. Ye Rong had reaped great rewards today, but if Jiang Chen left now, then the rewards would be cut in half.    

When the birthday party was about to end, Dan Fei's moving figure once again walked beside Jiang Chen. A faint fragrance accompanied him as his body leaned slightly towards Jiang Chen's ears. Inya's nose almost touched her earlobe when her thin lips exhaled an orchid-smelling breath, “Stay behind after the banquet. Lordmaster would like to meet you personally.”    

As Jiang Chen raised his head in surprise, a faint smile was seen on Dan Fei's classy face as he turned to leave.    

Ye Rong did not have any special suspicions as he patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder. “Male sister, esteemed teacher rarely sees a young man alone these days. If there is a good chance, you should catch it well.”    

Instead of considering Ye Chonglou as his previous master, Jiang Chen had instead saved his two followers. Even Ye Rong felt that it was a pity.    

Jiang Chen could really praise Ye Chonglou as his master. Once he became a valuable disciple of that esteemed tutor, would he not be able to save his two followers?    

Even an arrogant man like Lin Qianli felt somewhat unfortunate, let alone Ye Rong. Before he left, he was cooped up and gaped for a while before finally saying, “Jiang Chen, I was wrong before. The award is given to you for allowing me to overcome obstacles in my martial arts learning and achieve a breakthrough in my martial dao. I'm not going to waste any words thanking you. Merely, I will regard you as my brother in the future and as a brother, I would also like to remind you that if master wants to make you a disciple, then, You should appreciate this opportunity.    

Even Lin Qianli felt that the old teacher had asked Jiang Chen to stay because he wanted to make Jiang Chen his disciple.    

Jiang Chen smiled and did not reply.    

Take master?    

Jiang Chen really did not think about this matter. Although he respected his old teacher, yet Tutor Ye really did not have the qualifications to become his teacher.    

When all the guests had left, Dan Fei's clear eyes wrinkled to form a polite smile. "Let's go."    

This woman had an attitude that naturally attracted the attention of others whenever she laughed and sighed. Jiang Chen shook his head while smiling wryly. Even just looking at his back profile alone was enough to give rise to countless daydreams. It was only fitting that the young men's saliva had already come out three feet from their mouths. This woman has a right to be proud of herself.    

They meandered through the front yard to the back yard of the Tutor Manor.    

The backyard decor is not too grand and more beautiful. It was less luxurious and more unnatural.    

“Haha, Jiang Chen, come on, come on. Come sit.” Ye Chonglou had no role as the current spirit king's protector. He was more like a friendly grandfather from the house next door.    

Jiang Chen did not stand on ceremony. He pulled over the chair woven from bamboo and sat down.    

Jiang Chen had no interest in taking the master's degree, but he still respected the personality and disposition of that old master. He treated the old teacher as a friend with his words.    

“Jiang Chen, don't talk about Dragon-Phoenix for now. Do you know why I called you here?”    

Jiang Chen smiled wryly as he looked towards the old master and did not know how to respond to him.    

When the old master saw Jiang Chen like this, he also sighed personally. His words hinted to Jiang Chen for the second time that Jiang Chen could take Ye Chonglou as his master.    

In the end, after he reached his position, the old teacher was unable to find in him to be the one to make the request. If Jiang Chen rejected him, then he would lose his face as the royal guardian spirit king.    

It was already difficult for him to give clues of this level. When he saw Jiang Chen smiling wryly, the old master knew that it was not because Jiang Chen did not understand him, but he really did not want to call Ye Chonglou master.    

When Jiang Chen saw a hint of disappointment flashed in the old teacher's eyes, he suddenly couldn't bear to disappoint him and could only give this explanation, either, “How could Jiang Chen not know the great kindness of that esteemed teacher? Except, when I met that amazing person, I promised him that I would not take the master before he nodded in agreement.”    

Ye Chonglou did indeed reveal a relieved smile upon hearing those words. “Ah, so here's the problem, here's the problem. No wonder. No wonder. Such a proud senior is like your master and your friend, he naturally does not want you to take another master. Jiang Chen, Your response like this illustrates the moral and honest nature of your character. I was the one acting rashly. Ha ha! Now that we've exposed it on the table, I feel quite comfortable. Jiang Chen, you have taught me another lesson. I've lived for so long yet I haven't lived as quietly and open-mindedly as you.”    

“It is miraculous that the esteemed teacher praised me this much, your juniors could hardly maintain her seat.”    

Teacher Ye was in a very good mood when he asked again, “Did that outstanding senior also brew this Nine Glory Dew Wine?”    

“He gave me the recipe and I made it some time ago. There are many levels in this wine, and this one is only at the spirit level. Wine of the Nine Magnificence Dew bearing a sacred title is truly rare.”    

An ingenious light suddenly shot out from Tutor Ye's eyes as he seemed to think of something. “Holy title? Jiang Chen, do you know how to make a holy title version?”    

“The grip of material and fire is the most important component so it is not necessarily more difficult than the spirit level. Of course, if one has not yet entered the spirit realm, then it will be difficult to brew a holy title version of wine.”    

The light of deep contemplation was visible in Ye Chonglou's eyes, he seemed to be considering something. After a while, the old teacher suddenly said, “Jiang Chen, if there is a chance in the future, then, I'd like to sincerely ask that you make a pitcher containing the Nine Great Sacred Dew Grape for me. Is this request too much?”    

He seemed to be very afraid that Jiang Chen would reject him. “Do not hesitate to set any terms you want.”    

Jiang Chen smiled, “It is very difficult to gather all the ingredients for a holy level wine. It takes a lot of luck. It's not just a matter of setting conditions. But if there is such an opportunity, making a jug for the master is not a big problem, and there is no need for payment.”    

"That's great. A young man who could sit down and talk to me without thinking of any gains or achievements. Jiang Chen, you are different from the others, okay. The old teacher laughed. “I've heard that you've only been in Skylaurel Kingdom for less than two months?”    

"Yes." Yeah."    

“You have caused a lot of commotion in such a short time?” Tutor Ye said with a smile.    

“Juniormu has a stubborn nature and awaits reprimand from Tuanku.” Jiang Chen decided to admit something, and was very firm in that regard. He didn't say anything as silly as he had to.    

“Mm. Young people should have a sense of wildness towards them. If you handled your affairs in a timid and cowardly way when you were young, then what do you want to accomplish? Jiang Chen, no matter which camp you stand in, I only have one request of you.”    

"What's that?" Jiang Chen started a little.    

“Do as you please freely! Do whatever is in your heart! Don't be constrained by anyone and don't worry about the pressures of the outside world, or what problems and oppression you may face. I've sensed that there is a great power hidden within you. This is a power that even I cannot break through completely. If you succumb to pressure from various sides and suppress your energy, then this will only bring a lot of losses for you and there is not a single advantage in your development. I would be disappointed if it happened.” The old tutor spoke weakly. “It is precisely because of this that I gave you the Skylaurel Kingdom Medal.”    

Jiang Chen's mind raced as an extremely contemplative look appeared in his eyes. Once again, he experienced the way the old master was using his brain to help Jiang Chen.    

That said, even though the old tutor was not his teacher, yet he had a look like someone who was skilled at evaluating talent and had unique steps in conveying his teachings.    

“Alright, And small, get our guests out for me.” The old teacher waved his hand and walked to the back.    

Jiang Chen silently digested the old teacher's words while following behind Dan Fei and walking out.    

“Jiang Chen, you really don't know how to appreciate what's good. Many people dream of praising the lordmaster as their master, and you actually rejected him!” Dan Fei's voice contained a vague tone of condemnation.    

Jiang Chen could only smile sadly. He knew that his movements would appear too high and mighty in the eyes of outsiders. This woman looked at the old teacher as her paradise very naturally, because now that she had rejected him, she would not give him a good attitude.    

“You thought you had everything, but without Lordmaster protection, you would have trouble even to take a step in the capital. It's obvious that Ye Dai's crew will chew on you and not even leave his bones behind sooner or later.”    

Dan Fei was irritated at her failure to do good and kept nagging at her.    

They're at the main door now.    

“Sister Dan Fei, this is good.” Jiang Chen knew that he would no longer be able to withstand Dan Fei's nagging.    

Dan Fei snorted softly, “I didn't say I'd keep taking you out. You don't need to remind me.”    

Jiang Chen chuckled. He knew that this woman was deliberately looking for faults. When women are like this, there will be no end to how much they will trouble her in the future.    

He suddenly thought of something and reached into his pocket, taking out something. “Sister Dan Fei, today's problem is a result of I can't say what's good for me. You are a noble person and have great generosity so don't get angry over a small matter like this. I have a special highest ranking pill to maintain a youthful appearance. This is called the Four Seasons Eternal Spring Pill. The effect is not bad. This is for Dan Fei's sister. I hope you will stay young forever and your appearance will last a long time.”    

Jiang Chen stuffed the bottle into Dan Fei's slender jade hand, turned around, and ran away.    

Dan Fei had no time to react before Jiang Chen disappeared without a trace on the corner of the road. As he looked at the pill bottle in his hand, Dan Fei was a little annoyed, “This wild young man likes to play his tricks well. What ageless pills? Am I very old? So old that I need medicine to keep my appearance?”    

As he walked back through the door and closed it, he became even more annoyed and angrily threw the pill bottle into the bushes next to him.    

He did not really hold a grudge against Jiang Chen, but merely held a puzzling anger towards him in his heart. Who knew if it was because Jiang Chen had resisted the master's desire to take a disciple, or something else?
