The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 21: The Pride of a Long Family
Jiang Chen did not anticipate that a few sloppy sentences from him would have such a serious effect. The excited conversation that had been going on both and three suddenly calmed down.
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards Jiang Chen in a synchronized motion.
Those present were all heavyweights in the Eastern Kingdom, and they all knew that the Soaring Dragon duke always wanted a plot of land with veins flowing through it. He had planned and planned to seize it from the duke of Jiang Han.
Judging from his posture, was Jiang Chen planning to declare war? Would he be involved in a public dispute with the Duke of Soaring Dragon?
Jiang Chen, the subject of their speculation, was completely insensitive to it all. He pulled the chair towards himself, and sat down in a generous manner, glancing at Eastern Zhiruo's body. He muttered, “It seems like you've been busy these past few days. At this rate, you will have no problem getting past sixteen. ”
Kalink, kalunk…
At least three or four people groped their wine glasses after hearing these words. They were so shocked by Jiang Chen that even their wine glasses fell to the ground.
The minority who did not know Jiang Chen was already unable to contain themselves and began to quietly question their neighbors. Which family did this young duke come from? It's too bold.
After all, this was the king's most beloved daughter.
And beside the princess sat Princess Gouyu's eldest daughter, whose face had already begun to sink into disapproval.
Seeing that Princess Gouyu's face had sunk low enough to draw water, those who wanted to watch the show did not dare to cast their gaze here.
Everyone knew that Princess Gouyu was an Eastern Kingdom martial dao genius. He was a very influential person in the Eastern Kingdom who possessed true strength.
And not to mention, just with his status as the main organizer of the Hidden Dragon Trials, which duke at the banquet would dare insult him?
Yet Jiang Chen seemed to be completely unaware and had no idea that he was sitting in the most prominent area, and gave no indication that he realized that he had been the center of attention.
Jiang Chen basically observed everyone with side vision after he sat down. What surprised him was that there were some familiar faces.
The third Hallmaster of the Hall of Healing for example; duke Tianshui who had slapped himself for another.
It was clear that the duke of Tianshui was behaving today. He keeps it to himself. If he was like before, he would definitely lead the offense to make life difficult for the Jiang family.
However, whether it was the duke of Tianshui or his heirs, the two of them were strangely silent today.
The duke of Tianshui was clearly still haunted by what happened in Jiang Han's house. Even though he himself had not taken any action, his heart was still happy to see others choosing the Jiang family.
These people knew nothing about the agreement between Jiang Chen and Eastern Lu, and thus did not mind to bully the father duo of Jiang's son.
Indeed, several of the duchy's heirs went hand in hand just as Jiang Chen wanted to ask Eastern Zhiruo how he had been lately.
The leader of the band was the heir to the rank of a White Tiger duke, Bai Zhanyun.
“Jiang Chen, do you know what day it is?” Bai Zhanyun's face showed anger. “Today is Miss Long Juxue's sixteenth birthday. How dare you say it's a dirty place! I order you to apologize!”
“And I, Hong Tiantong, order you to apologize to the host and other guests on behalf of the rank of a Vermillion Bird duke!” Hong Tiantong had deviated from his usual mode of inciting others to fight, and actually took the initiative today.
It was clear that Hong Tiantong had no desire to let Bai Zhanyun claim all the glory for licking Long Juxue in this kind of atmosphere.
Both come from impressive backgrounds.
The strength of the 108 dukes in the Eastern Kingdom varied, but the top four dukes were always ranked in the top four. No matter what changes in the kingdom, their position never changes.
Soaring Dragon duchy ranked first, White Tiger second, Vermillion Bird third, and Black Tortoise fourth!
The two heirs of the four major dukes had stepped forward, and had brought several heirs from other high-ranking dukes with them. They surrounded Jiang Chen aggressively.
Jiang Chen remained calm and glanced at Hong Tiantong without commitment. He then asked lightly, “Do you rule me?”
“You can think of it that way.” Hong Tiantong replied arrogantly.
“Oh ..” Jiang Chen hit his forehead lightly, smiling invisibly at princess Gouyu. “Princess Gouyu, is this person part of the royal family? Or am I remembering wrong? Do dukes have the power to rule over each other? It seems I remember that only the royal family has the power to issue orders to the duke!”
He looked at Hong Tiantong lazily, laughing, “The heir of Vermillion Bird right? When did you change your surname to East? Why don't you make a big proclamation of such a big event? You should have told us early so we could be mentally prepared! ”
Hong Tiantong, who had occupied an aggressive plateau a moment ago, was suddenly at a loss for words with this simple question. He became glued like a statue.
“As for you, Bai Zhanyun right? If I remember correctly, this is the third time you have provoked me. I'm not looking to lower myself to your level before, but today, what do you mean by standing here and shouting your head if you claim that this is not a dirty place? Are you blind? Didn't you see His Majesty sitting there? Do you know anything about noble etiquette? Shouting and jumping around in front of the princess, do you have any idea of modesty?
“And the others, what do you want? Accompanying these two idiots in making a spectacle of yourself, are you trying to tell everyone present that there is no longer any need to hide your rebellious heart? ”
The burst of Jiang Chen's words caused the crowd of young men to be glued, red on the face, and the thoughts to be empty altogether. They wanted to find the words to reply, but had absolutely no idea what to say.
Bai Zhanyun trembled in his anger, “You .. Jiang Chen .. your mother ... you spewed blood from your mouth! (1)”
“Did your mother not spit blood out of her mouth? If your mother doesn't spit blood, where did you crawl out of? Or are you the dwarf your father took off the streets? ” When it came to verbal sparring, Jiang Chen had a career in cursing others for millions of years in his past life. His spiteful tongue had once cursed everything under the heavens.
This comedian is no match at all.
“Eh...” Jiang Chen's turn came to a halt as he stuttered, “This question is not suitable for children. You will understand when you go and get married.”
Princess Gouyu on the sidelines was also confused. He thought that Jiang Chen was cursing a little randomly and had no idea what he meant. But after his explanation, he suddenly recalled the birthing scene…
Isn't that really spewing blood?
Gouyu's gaze sharpened with killing intent as his mind wandered down this path. This damned Jiang Chen! He would definitely pollute Ruo’er if he spent more time with her!
He decided to vent his anger on Bai Zhanyun and Hong Tiantong. Both of them were still foolishly standing there like fools. He slammed his hands on the table, “Two of you, what do you have to say for yourself? Do you still maintain your noble courtesy? ”
The atmosphere suddenly deteriorated as Princess Gouyu lost her temper.
This is no ordinary individual. Many times, Princess Gouyu's attitude represented the attitude of the king!
The warm laughter of the representative of the Duke of Soaring Dragon walked in from the main hall at this awkward moment. “Mr and Madam, please calm down. It was a rare opportunity that we had so many gifts, and it happened on the sixteenth birthday of my youngest daughter. I have invited everyone here to, one, celebrate my daughter's birthday and, two, share the news of a great joyous event with everyone.”
“Oh? Your Majesty, what is this happy event? You've closed the news meeting. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty, come out! We can't wait.”
“Haha, don't rush everything. I seem to be hiding the news too well. I'm not gonna do that anymore. To be honest, this matter was also a very joyous matter for the Eastern Kingdom, and was an important event for the kingdom. My daughter Juxue, because of her Azure Phoenix Constitution from birth, had attracted the attention of a hidden master and was chosen as her direct disciple. Master will personally come to welcome my daughter to the Purple Sun Sect after the Hidden Dragon Trials!”
“What! Purple Sun Sect? It was the main sect of the four big sects from sixteen countries!”
“All hidden masters are equivalent to leading heavyweights in a sect. Who would have thought that Long Juxue would have such good fortune. Congratulations indeed!”
“Blue phoenix constitution even sounds amazing!”
“A joyous occasion like this should be celebrated across the country! Greetings to His Majesty, the future of the Soaring Dragon duchy is indeed one of infinite wealth and boundless potential!
“Congratulations!”
At that moment, all sorts of greasy comments flowed like endless river water.
Long Zhaofeng was in good condition. He had planned for a long time today. He was not at all surprised by this situation.
“To be honest, the heavyweight Purple Sun Sect has severed this teacher and disciple relationship when my daughter was born. But, I am a humble person and think about Juxue's growth and childhood. I don't want to draw too much attention to him. But now that my daughter is sixteen, this news naturally need not be hidden anymore. ”
Long Zhaofeng's words were a symbol of pride.
Actually, how can this be called low-key. If this is called low-key, then nothing can be labeled high profile.
And, not because Long Zhaofeng avoided telling the truth, it was because he did not dare to talk about it.
When Long Juxue was born, a strange phenomenon struck the sky. A huge rainbow appeared in the vast sky, with a faint impression of the legendary phoenix dancing under its rays. All the birds on earth saluted and survived long after.
It was true that an elder in the Purple Sun Sect had heard about this phenomenon and guessed that the rank of a Soaring Dragon duke in the Eastern Kingdom had given birth to the Azure Phoenix Constitution. He had not set foot outside the sect territory in several hundred years, yet he rushed to the rank of a Soaring Dragon duke at first light and established the relationship of a master disciple.
Except, absolute perfection does not exist in the world. What it means to have the Azure Phoenix Constitution is that the evil humor of extreme yin is in the body. If this evil humor is not resolved, then that person will not live past the age of 30, and all the talk of a potential genius will be as real as a cloud.
Long Zhaofeng had racked his brain and tried all possible methods over the past few days and finally dispelled the evil humor inside Long Juxue. This way, there were no more restrictions on the Azure Phoenix Constitution.
At the same time, the elders of the Purple Sun Sect had sent word that Long Juxue would be officially initiated into the Purple Sun Sect after half a year.
Long Zhaofeng's first thought after receiving such confirmation was to announce it all the way!
There was no way Long Zhaofeng would miss the main opportunity to show off his family. To that end, almost all the dukes, ministers, and royal officials, had received invitations from the Long family.
Even the high and mighty Princess Gouyu was no exception.
At that moment, Long Juxue stood beside her father like a proud phoenix. He glittered in such a way that no one dared to look at him directly. Civility and pride covered his eyes.
Even for a hidden power like the Purple Sun Sect, the Azure Phoenix Constitution was still an extremely rare talent. He had reason to be proud.
Bai Zhanyun and Hong Tiantong's gazes at Long Juxue were filled with desire and admiration.
Jiang Chen finally understood what the Duke of Soaring Dragon meant by the event of glad tidings in his invitation.
“Constitution Azure Phoenix?” Jiang Chen searched his memories, given that all sorts of body constitutions existed in the general world of martial dao.
But on the path of martial dao, no matter how great his potential was, the practitioner would still not succeed if the right disposition did not go hand in hand with the potential. There are many examples of that too.
But in the end, even something like the Azure Phoenix Constitution didn't mean much in Jiang Chen's eyes.
His past self had seen too many top talents. How many of them have actually managed to develop and mature?
