The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 14: Rejecting the Face Twice
White Tiger's heir, Bai Zhanyun and Vermillion Bird's heir, Hong Tiantong was secretly discussing something in a secluded tavern in the capital.
“White Brother, the boy is very arrogant. He is not thinking of you or me, especially you Brother White. You and him arrived at almost the same time, but he stole the Dragon Bone Sun Grass from you, this is intolerable!”
Hong Tiantong was obviously very cunning and his words contained a clear tone of provocation.
“Hah! Jiang Chen, insulting me, Bai Zhanyun, is seeking death!”
As Bai Zhanyun spoke, a subordinate responsible for following the others rushed in.
“Young duke, the boy did not return to Jiang Han's house. He seems to be going to Turquoise Hall.”
“Pirus Hall? What's that kid doing there? Does he want to buy spirit stones?” Hong Tiantong was somewhat skeptical.
Bai Zhanyun, on the other hand, showed a strange smile after hearing those words. “Aula Turquoise isn't it? Are you sure?”
“Your servant keeps following him and can't be wrong.”
Bai Zhanyun laughed happily. “Jiang Chen, you brat, you have brought this on yourself. The owner of Turquoise Hall is my uncle!”
He was even more proud when he finished speaking. “Sister Hong, come. Let's go watch the show and insult this kid viciously. Let's also snatch the Sun Grass Dragon Bone as we do it!”
Their current location was not too far from Turquoise Hall. The two of them quickly arrived and entered through the back door.
Turquoise Hall is a retailer specializing in exotic spirits and stones. The scale of its operation covers all, and is the main brand in the capital city.
Jiang Chen's visit was certainly not to see or admire the stone, but to adjust the stone.
He wandered around the Turquoise Hall for half a day, summoning various memories of his past life about assessing stones to decide on a particular stone. He discussed, and set a price.
The owner of the Turquoise Hall hurriedly walked out when Jiang Chen was waiting to pay. She smiled, “Sister, what a terrible coincidence. I've just taught myself that the crouching Yang stone you ordered was already ordered by someone else last night. ”
“Who ordered it? What a coincidence!” Jiang Chen was quite surprised, did such a coincidence really exist in this world?
“Why, a great me of course!” An ear-piercing sound rang out from behind as Bai Zhanyun sauntered out.
“Jiang Chen, how unfortunate. I bought this stone. You wanna? Hand over the Sun Grass Dragon Bone. I might just consider giving the stone to you if I'm in a good mood. ”
Jiang Chen quickly stood up. When he saw Bai Zhanyun, Hong Tiantong who was grinning bashfully behind him and then the owner of the Turquoise Hall, he immediately understood the situation.
It seemed like this Bai Zhanyun was tired of his empty mind. He started the fight in the Healing Hall and continued it to the Turqouise Hall. He really wanted to start something with Jiang Chen.
However, the owner of Turquoise Hall was very demeaning to him in taking orders from the son of a duke. Jiang Chen's opinion of the man was suddenly revised downward.
“Interesting. Attractively. Boss Song, are you sure you didn't sell the stone to me? ” Jiang Chen asked while maintaining his composure.
Bai Zhanyun shouted, “Jiang Chen, I already told you that I will only hand over the stone if you hand over the Dragonbone Sun Grass. Otherwise, never think of getting that stone that crouches.”
“Oh? What if I have to have it?” Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
“Hahaha, do you think that I, the mighty Bai Zhanyun, will hand it over to you? Better I buy this stone to coat ****** me than to give it to you.”
“Your household browsers are sure to be luxurious. So, no room for negotiation?”
“Negotiate my ass! Either you hand over the Dragonbone Sun Grass or leave here!” Bai Zhanyun also knew a little too much that it was unrealistic to expect Jiang Chen to hand over the Dragon Bone Sun Grass.
Jiang Chen laughed out loud and paid no heed to Bai Zhanyun. He didn't want to bother throwing spit at an idiot like Bai Zhanyun. It's not like he's buying things for himself.
He bought equipment for the royal princess. He will not waste time and energy in explanation. Since the village idiot Bai Zhanyun wanted to fight against the royal family, then by all means let him try.
“Boss Song. It seems like you are a smart person who makes stupid transactions. ” Jiang Chen laughed lightly and shook his head while sighing. “If you don't sell to me now, it will be too late even if you come to me crying in the future.”
He sauntered out without glancing at Bai Zhanyun or Hong Tiantong afterwards.
He had just reached the main lobby when a colleague came in with a tear, his expression extremely frightened. He muttered a few sentences next to Boss Song's ears with a face full of doubt. He did not even dare to look Jiang Chen in the eyes.
Boss Song's face suddenly turned white after he finished listening. It was as if all the blood had suddenly been sucked out of his body. His face was very white and his lips were impregnated with bitterness.
He called out with a voice that was about to cry, “Young Duke Jiang, hold your step, please hold your step! This crouching stone is yours. The Turquoise Hall will not charge you anything and will send it to your manor immediately. ”
Boss Song's attitude did a complete 180 in the blink of an eye, greatly surprising Bai Zhanyun and Hong Tiantong.
Especially Bai Zhanyun, his legs leaped in astonishment.
“Uncle, are you serious? Didn't we have a deal?”
Boss Song had a sad face. “I say little emperor, don't make things difficult for your uncle. Don't throw us ordinary humans in the middle when you heavenly beings are fighting.”
Bai Zhanyun became furious. “Heavenly creatures? Faghs. What kind of heavenly being was Jiang Chen? His Jiang Han ducal title was not even at the top of all 108 ranks of the dukes of the Eastern Kingdom. You afraid of him uncle? ”
If he had not been bullied by Bai Zhanyun's parents, boss Song would have surely rushed over and dealt a life-long punch. He would first defeat Bai Zhanyun so hard that he would not be able to function normally, and then contemptuously spit on him several times for good measure.
This brat not only destroyed his family, but also dragged boss Song with him!
Boss Song almost jumped forwards and glued himself to Jiang Chen's thigh. “Young duke, I am unreasonable and blind. Please, I beg you to accept it! Please look at this crouching stone as a sign of the old Song's devotion!”
They said to forgive and forget, Jiang Chen had no intention of making too much of a fuss over the small business owner.
“Ya yes. The young duke was generous and generous. I'm shy, shy.”
Jiang Chen laughed out loud. How could he not know that someone on the outside must have intervened, resulting in Song's old face?
As for who intervened, it was even more obvious.
How many houses within the capital had such power that even the great duke did not dare to oppose it? And at this moment, who else besides the royal family would protect Jiang Chen's interests?
“It seems that ole Eastern Lu has made certain preparations. Afraid I'll renege?” Jiang Chen shook his head in his mind and stepped out cheerfully.
He had already finished preparing all the components needed for the initial step.
Bai Zhanyun had been repeatedly ignored by Jiang Chen and suffered under the most despicable feeling of defeat. He glared at boss Song ferociously, “Uncle, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!”
Boss Song rolled his eyes, “Bai Zhanyun, you better take care of yourself! This is the capital, not your White Tiger territory! Think about whether or not you can afford to offend someone before behaving violently. As your uncle, I will give you advice. Be careful not to ruin your generation of family work in one night if you make one wrong move!”
Boss Song was not worried at all. His partner had just said two sentences now.
The first is, “Commander Tiandu of the royal guard is outside”, and the second is, “we must sell the crouching stone to Jiang Chen, or face the consequences.”
Those two sentences alone were enough to change boss Song's attitude.
Who did not know that the royal bodyguard was the personal bodyguard of the king, a contingent with one of the highest fighting competencies, an entity that held life and death power in the Eastern Kingdom?
It was no exaggeration to say that if the royal guard were offended, even the White Tiger duke would be smashed to pieces, not to mention boss Song!
The royal guard is also one of the most powerful forces within the kingdom. What did this show when an entity of this caliber secretly protected Jiang Chen's interests?
Boss Song was not a fool, he could read the writing on the wall and see the seriousness of the situation.
With a certain bitterness he could not explain himself clearly in the face of Bai Zhanyun's whining grievances. His warning fulfilled his duty as a relative.
If Bai Zhanyun insisted on pursuing this like a moth to a fire, then boss Song should draw the line between the White family and his family at the earliest opportunity.
Bai Zhanyun was still cursing and nagging as he accused boss Song of disrespecting the relationship bond. Yet Hong Tiantong, was deep in thought. He thought this development was too strange. This not only happens once, but twice!
“Could this Jiang Chen really have an influential figure supporting him?”
As for Jiang Chen, he did not wander outside after he finished his task, but headed straight for the Jiang Han manor.
Two people walked out as soon as he set foot in the doorway. One of them was Jiang Feng, the duke of Jiang Han and the father he had obtained at a cheap price.
The other was a middle-aged man with a gloomy and unpleasant face. His expression was cold and he walked straight towards the exit. The Duke of Jiang Han accompanied him with a somewhat obedient smile, muttering something in a low voice.
His attitude was even a little humble.
But no matter how warm Jiang Feng came out, it was as if he was putting a hot face next to a cold butt. The middle-aged man remained distant and did not react at all.
When they reached the door, they met Jiang Chen who had just returned.
Jiang Chen finally recalled who this man was from his past memories. Assistant Organizer Du?
This man was actually one of the main organizers of the Hidden Dragon Trials.
“Chener, are you back? Come and greet the great Organizer Du. I was finally able to invite him to our manor, but unfortunately, Mr. Du had to take care of a few things. ”
The assistant Organizer Du glanced at Jiang Chen, and smiled without actually smiling, “You Jiang Chen?”
As one of the main organizers of the Hidden Dragon Trials, he naturally knew who Jiang Chen was. This question is clearly a fake.
Jiang Chen was a smart man and a keen observer. She was afraid her father got a face full of dust from this guy, and replied without commitment, “That's me. You are Du?” organizer assistant
Du Ruhai, the assistant organizer of the Hidden Dragon Trials, was ranked number two in terms of real strength. It was no exaggeration to say that he held the wealth of all the great families participating in the Examination!
No matter which duke, who did not show a courteous and friendly attitude when they met Du Ruhai? Who does not humble themselves?
If he throws a spanner into a job at a critical moment because you offended him, you won't even know how you died.
Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen not only did not want to please, but actually questioning him back in a tone like this, organizer Du quickly got angry.
It was not that Du Ruhai did not possess a measure of refinement, but more like he did not need to pretend he was generous and forgiving in front of the Jiang family.
His expression froze, “Duke of Jiang Han? Your son is quite a character. He dared to desecrate even the Heavenly Worship Rite, no wonder he didn't think too much of a mere organizer. ”
Jiang Feng knew bad things when he heard those words, and was about to apologize.
Du Ruhai spread his hands and laughed coldly. “Duke of Jiang Han, no further words required. I'm planning to help your son during the Hidden Dragon Trials. But I have received many messages from other dukes this afternoon, saying that your son has no understanding of morals or ethics. Helping her is like putting myself in danger. Therefore, you are alone for the Trials! ”
“Organizer Du, this ..” Jiang Feng is very agitated.
“Duke of Jiang Han, don't blame me for speaking frankly. Even without the duke's reminder, purely based on your son's useless attitude, you should pray every day that I don't make life difficult for him!”
Du Ruhai arbitrarily decided to set aside all considerations for others.
