The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 12: Beauty Genius? Jiang Chen Didn't Care
Bai Zhanyun, the heir to the rank of a White Tiger duke, was a domineering and mischievous type.
But wasn't this heir to the rank of duke Jiang Han, who had even performed the crazed act of the century, with a fart during the Heavenly Worship Rite, a legendary goodness in vain? When did he turn so awesome?
At this moment, he did not even treat the heir of the rank of a White Tiger duke seriously. This is a progression against heaven!
One should know, that even though duke Jiang Han was ranked in the top 15 of the 108 dukes, the White Tiger duke was ranked number 4. He was one of the four most famous and prominent dukes in the kingdom.
Differences in strength existed between dukes of different ranks. In reality, duke Jiang Han and the White Tiger duke were not on the same level at all!
Moreover, thanks to his earth-shattering fart, Jiang Chen's life story had been unearthed by the rumor mill for the past two days. Who did not know that Jiang Chen was cool and had never done well?
It was precisely because of this that everyone was extremely shocked by Jiang Chen's attitude.
” Hahaha, even though you weren't whipped to death, you were beaten into an idiot, wasn't Jiang Chen? Goody. You were lucky last time and not beaten to death. I'll lighten some of His Majesty's burden today, and beat you to death as a gift.”
It was at this moment that another fanfare appeared at the door of the Hall, and the crowd of young men surrounding a girl in white clothes entered.
The crowd of youths started to shout as soon as they entered: “We want the Dragon Bone Sun Grass, bring it here quickly. My household, the rank of a duke of Yanmen, will buy.”
“Hahs. When it is your turn to pay. My Vermillion Bird nobleman will have this Dragon Bone Sun Grass! ”
These young men fought each other for a chance to pay the bills, as well as bringing the atmosphere to life in the lobby of the Hall of Healing.
Jiang Chen rubbed his nose as he thought, Do these people have more money than what they know what to do? What's with them today? Did all these people make a pact to come bother me today?
Although, it doesn't seem like it's really happening. How could the others know that he needed the Dragon Bone Sun Grass? Plus, Jiang Chen himself did not believe that he had somehow offended so many people, to the point where the heirs of some rank of a duke ganged up on him.
In a few moments, there were at least seven or eight people vying for a chance to buy the Dragon Bone Sun Grass. Each displays a resolution level indicating that they will not rest until they get it.
This puts the old Blue in confusion. He was an expert in observing people, how could he not know that this crowd of young men were putting on a show for the girl?
But, there is only one Dragon Bone Sun Grass? He would definitely insult a large group of people, no matter who he sold it to.
These little emperors were all demon incarnations. No matter who he hurt, it would be an uncertain matter, not to mention that this offense would be given to some people.
The Blue Elder thought furiously, glanced at Jiang Chen from the corner of his eyes and formed an idea.
“Honey young Duke, we are honored and flattered by your presence. However, the Hall of Healing has always had one rule in doing business. It was Jiang Chen, the heir to the rank of a duke of Jiang Han, who first wanted to purchase the Dragonbone Sun Grass. Anyone who wanted to buy it could only do so if he was willing to hand it over. The Hall of Healing would be sold to anyone who could convince him. This is the rule, and we expect your understanding.”
What are the ways to shift blame and responsibility. Played well.
The Healing Hall had washed hands of the matter in this way, and threw hot potatoes at Jiang Chen.
If he refused to give up, then it would be Jiang Chen's problem, not the Hall. Jiang Chen would offend people, and not them.
All of the gazes twisted into one and locked onto Jiang Chen.
“Eh, why him?”
“Jiang Chen? The comedian who farted during the Rite? Isn't he dead?”
“Does he pretend to be a corpse?”
“Is this kid lucky and not beaten to death?”
“Too weird, too weird. Strange things happen every year, and there's an awful lot this year.”
“Hahs. Who cares if he dies or not. No one can take this Dragon Bone Sun Grass from me!”
“Jiang Chen, there is no place here for your lowly rank in Jiang Han. Accept your place and step back. ”
“Accurate once. How dare a criminal show his face?”
“Come back and prepare your business!”
Only a few people knew that he was not dead, so the reactions of these people did not surprise Jiang Chen at all.
What surprised him was, did his face really provoke such a huge amount of anger and hatred? Why are these people trampling on him?
He ignored all the hostile gazes and smiled wryly, “Did I fail to check the almanac before leaving the house today? Dealing with one idiot was already annoying enough, but now I have to deal with a bunch of idiots?”
He wasted no more time on the empty chatter and looked at Elder Blue, saying coldly, “Elder Blue, what's the point of pawning your problem to someone else. I don't want to hear your words; are you selling Dragonbone Sun Grass or not?”
Elder Blue's face darkened, “Are you threatening me? If that was the case, then I would really wash my hands of this matter! ”
“Shortly!”
Someone hurriedly walked out from behind the lobby. It was the third hallmaster.
Elder Blue was momentarily dumbfounded, thinking: Did you take the wrong medicine this morning? Didn't you see this crowd of little emperors eyeing their reward? Aren't you afraid of all these little demons holding grudges if you sell them to Jiang Chen?
Not to mention, was it necessary to do so far only for the heir of Jiang Han, and a pointless thing?
The third Hallmaster completely ignored Elder Blue's puzzled look and smiled at Jiang Chen, “Young Duke Jiang, you are the first one who wants to buy Dragonbone Sun Grass, you are the first one who wants to buy the Dragonbone Sun Grass, and thus naturally the buyer according to our rules.”
He stopped, and then turned towards the heir of their other ducal rank, “Lord, forgive me. The Healing Hall can have a foothold in the Eastern Kingdom purely because of our golden mark based on credibility and rules. I'm very flattered that you've seen fit to protect the Hall of Healing, but unfortunately there's currently only one of the Dragonbone Sun Grass. We can only sell it to the person who has arrived first: young duke Jiang. As for whether young duke Jiang wants to give it to anyone present, it is not up to me to decide. ”
“However, this is the Hall of Healing, we ask for your understanding and refrain from unruly behavior.” The tone of the third hallmaster's voice slightly hardened.
The Healing Hall was not a place where just anyone could come and cause a commotion.
Whahuh?
Is the third hallmaster crazy? He sold the Dragon Bone Sun Grass to Jiang Chen?
One of the young dukes present was more prominent, stronger, than the heir to Jiang Han. Did the third hallmaster take the wrong medicine this morning?
What made them even more surprised was that the third principal then turned a welcoming and cheering face towards Jiang Chen and said, “Duke Jiang young, my apology for the offense. Please follow me inside, so the Hall can offer you a cup of tea as an apology. ”
The crowd of small emperors was completely dumbfounded by this turn of events.
When did this worthless dandy, who had no premonition of any presence in the Hidden Dragon Trials, become so popular in the Healing Hall?
Even the girl in white who was mobbed by people turned her gaze to Jiang Chen for the first time.
This girl was the beloved daughter of the first duke of the Eastern Kingdom, Long Teng's daughter, Long Juxue.
The hordes of heirs of the rank of a duke fought amongst themselves mostly due to the desire to take heart with this Long Juxue. The entire fanfare over Dragonbone Sun Grass's purchase was to offer it to her, and to heal her cold humor.
However, Jiang Chen was not the slightest bit interested in this crowd of madmen. When he caught a glimpse of Jiang Zheng hiding behind the third hallmaster with a quick glance, he understood the situation perfectly. He smiled lightly, “Please pack the spirit level materials I want. For payment..”
The third Hallmaster hurriedly said, “Let's talk about payment later. How about we have tea?”
The item was wrapped quickly and placed into Jiang Chen's hands. He walked in with the third hallmaster, but how could he not know that the reason behind the third hallmaster's attention was the latter's desire to complete the contract for the Heavenly Karma pill?
Otherwise, how could the third hallmaster ignore all the other heirs and insist on selling Dragonbone Sun Grass to him? And to give him a face like that to boot?
“Before, brother Jiang Chen.” A handsome young man dressed neatly appeared from the crowd. “I heir to the Black Tortoise, Yi Taichu. I sincerely ask you to hand over the Dragon Bone Sun Grass to me. I'm willing to pay double the price for your friendship, does it agree for you?
Needless to say, this Yi Taichu handled things much more precisely than White Tiger heir Bai Zhanyun. However, this Dragon Bone Sun Grass was definitely useful to Jiang Chen. There was no way he could give it to someone else.
“I'm sorry, I have used this blade of Dragon Bone Sun Grass and cannot give it away. Brother Yi, you are at the top of your life, but find yourself very bored to run errands to get a pretty face?
Jiang Chen smiled without commitment as he glanced at Long Juxue, feeling very disapproving of her. This woman allowed a group of heirs to preen and stand in front of her, yet did not say a word in return. This type of woman was either futile, or had dual intentions. So what if she's as pretty as a flower?
In his past life, this type of woman was not even suitable to be a servant to the woman waiting for him.
Yi Taichu felt somewhat awkward, but still maintained his elegance and manners. He thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something. He suddenly left without a word.
Long Juxue was even more heartbroken towards Jiang Chen after seeing Yi Taichu leave. He greatly enjoyed the feeling of the crowd of young men fighting over him. Only when millions of people worship the moon can its status as the center of attention be displayed to the fullest.
But this Jiang Chen was trying hard, and really did not care.
The worst thing was, this Jiang Chen had not even really looked at him all this time. How is this the style of the man who never succeeds, who is ridiculous beyond belief?
If it was another day, Long Juxue could not even be bothered to glance at someone at Jiang Chen's level. But today, in this kind of atmosphere, the strangeness of a woman's heart made her feel extremely depressed, and thought that Jiang Chen was deliberately denying her face.
He even felt that Jiang Chen was deliberately pretending to be a generous, carefree, and mysterious stranger. This was another kind of trick to attract his attention.
An heir to the rank of a little duke; trash that wasn't even worth the effort of bringing him in hand, pretending to be in? Hmph. I'd like to see if it's possible for you to look like a fool in front of me!
His mind twirled as he suddenly moved towards Jiang Chen, each step graceful like a lotus.
“Jiang Chen right?” Long Juxue's voice was cool. “As far as I know, you do not use spirit materials of this level. These family friends struggled to buy the Dragon Bone Sun Grass because they wanted to cure me of my cold humor. Why do you want to buy it?”
Although his words were not too ugly, the meaning behind it was obvious. You, the lowly Jiang Chen, have no way to use the Dragon Bone Sun Grass.
If Jiang Chen was trying to please Long Juxue in the battle to buy it, then it was time to stop the charade.
Jiang Chen felt perplexed as he looked at the woman who was too full of herself. She smiled without really being seen, “Then do you think I need it for?”
“I don't care what you need it for. If you want to give it to me, I accept your sincerity and will remember you.” He replied nonchalantly. “If not, then, I will also remember you, Jiang Chen.”
This, is a pure and naked threat.
