"Brother Jiang, you are too impulsive." Tian Shao watched the eldest prince and his entourage leave and sighed, "You should not have agreed to the competition."
"Jiang Chen, this Xin Wudao is one of the ten major feudal lords of Longya Guard, and his personal cultivation is one of the best among the ten major lords. This person has had quite an adventure in his martial arts practice, and now he has broken through the spiritual realm. Under the king
He is a generation younger, and he is also one of the most powerful men." Ye Rong was quite worried, "If he issues a challenge later, I will find an excuse to reject it. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years."
"Ten years?" Jiang Chen shook his head, "A gentleman should not be bullied. Although I, Jiang Chen, am not a gentleman, I still know what it means to suffer losses overnight. Ten years of revenge? I can't wait."
"Hey, Brother Jiang, this is obviously a game they made, just waiting for you to jump in." Tian Shao still wanted to persuade Jiang Chen to give up the competition.
"The difference between a genius and a mediocre person is that when they know it is a trap, a genius will jump down without hesitation, while a mediocre person will shrink back. Jiang Chen, it's up to you whether you are a genius or a mediocre person." He remained silent.
Ling Qianli suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Brother Ling, if it were you, how would you choose?" Jiang Chen asked meaningfully.
Ling Qianli said proudly: "What you asked is nonsense."
"I can answer this question for you for Qianli." The fourth prince Ye Rong suddenly said, "Qianli is an extremely paranoid person in the martial arts. He never leaves a way out for himself."
"Haha, not bad, not bad. Even the fourth prince said so, Ling Qianli, I'm starting to appreciate you a little." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
While they were talking, Jiang Chen and others had already followed Prince Ye Rong into the inner courtyard.
This place is the real place for the birthday banquet. In the spacious inner courtyard, the banquet has been carefully arranged, just waiting for these young talents from the Tiangui Kingdom to take their seats.
A banquet of this caliber is carefully arranged in advance. How many invitations have been sent, how many tables and chairs have been arranged, and everyone's seat has been arranged.
Therefore, there is no possibility of competing for seats.
Ye Rong is a child of the royal family. Among the princes, he is the fourth in order. Therefore, the arranged position is also the area closest to the core position.
The table for this banquet is a long table arranged on both sides.
The two seats on the left and right of the first row belong to the eldest prince Ye Dai and the second prince Ye Qiao.
Ye Rong was placed in the second row. The third prince Ye Zheng was on the left, and Ye Rong was in the right row, facing each other from a distance.
After everyone was seated, Concubine Dan walked up to the stage, her almond-shaped eyes looked around, and her flawless white skin looked very charming under the candlelight.
With her teeth exposed, Concubine Dan smiled and said: "On this day every year, Concubine Dan is very happy to see the young talents of our Tiangui Kingdom gathered together. Every year, I can see your growth and changes. See
You have transformed from a young boy to a young man who is now in your own right. The Grand Tutor is indifferent to the world and has long been indifferent to worldly affairs. Why does he have to celebrate his birthday once a year? It's not that he likes to be busy, but that he wants to see you.
Talents have emerged from generation to generation in the country, and he saw that the young are better than the old. He hopes that the young people in the Tiangui Kingdom will become stronger than the previous generation. Only when the young people are strong can the kingdom have hope."
Concubine Dan's words were sonorous and powerful, but with a hint of her unique softness, which made the young people below feel excited.
These young people present have more or less received the teachings of Taifu Ye. However, some people are less fortunate and have fewer opportunities to receive teachings. Unlike the princes of the royal family, they can receive Taifu Ye’s personal teachings every day.
teach.
Accepting Taifu Ye's guidance is indeed the honor that these young people dream of. Another key point is that with Taifu Ye, they can get close to Sister Danfei, a woman who fills young people with fantasy and makes their hormones run wild.
Looking at the reactions of these young people below, Concubine Dan smiled slightly, but she was not angry. How could a smart woman like her not know what these brats were thinking?
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. The Master is here."
Concubine Dan turned slightly and called out respectfully: "Old man."
An old man with white beard and hair, wearing a loose robe, his eyebrows are like the legendary immortal spirit, giving people a feeling of floating out of the world.
This old man is none other than the totem figure of the Tiangui Kingdom, Grand Tutor Ye Chonglou.
Ye Chonglou's steps were not very fast, but with every step he took, Jiang Chen had an illusion, as if a big mountain had grown in length and was pressing over him step by step.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
In an instant, Jiang Chen's wind-free ears actually heard various sounds that sounded like drums. Moreover, the frequency of the sounds was getting faster and faster.
This is obviously not the sound of beating drums, but the sound of heartbeat.
Every time Ye Zhonglou took a step, the heartbeats of everyone around him accelerated.
"I didn't deliberately stimulate the aura, I didn't use powerful spiritual power to oppress this Taifu Ye, I just used the melody of his footsteps to produce such pressure and affect everyone's heartbeats." Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. He didn't have much feeling for Taifu Ye at first.
He suddenly understood why everyone in the Tiangui Kingdom regarded this old man as a totem-level figure.
Not to mention warriors like Yang Can and Xin Wudao who were at the first level of the spiritual realm, even Chu Xinghan back then would probably not be able to avoid being disturbed by this old man under such circumstances.
At this time, the "Heart of the Rock" practiced by Jiang Chen came into play. He worked hard to calm down the various thoughts in his heart and control his thoughts like a rock, motionless as a mountain.
No matter how magical the steps of Grand Tutor Ye were, no matter how violent the sound of his heartbeats, he only strived to pursue an unshakable mountain.
However, under such a strong influence, it would be difficult for Jiang Chen to truly remain motionless.
Just when he felt like he couldn't bear it——
"Haha, that's right, that's right. We haven't seen each other for a year. You little guys haven't put your cultivation aside. Everyone, please sit down and don't be restrained."
"Student Ye Dai, I would like to pay my respects to Grand Tutor Ye. I wish Grand Tutor a long life, and may my Kingdom of Tiangui be preserved forever and be passed down through the ages."
"Ye Qiao pays homage to Mr. Ye, and wishes Mr. Taifu to be as blessed as the East China Sea, live as long as the Southern Mountains, and never grow old."
"Ye Zheng, Ye Rong, Ye Hao... pay homage to the Grand Tutor."
The princes were the first to come out and kneel down to salute.
Then, other nobles and princes came forward one after another, saluted respectfully and sent blessings.
After these ceremonies were completed, Ye Dai offered some suggestions and said with a smile: "Sister Dan Fei, it's almost time. Is it time for everyone to present gifts to the teacher?"
Dan Fei smiled: "Ye Dai, you are so active. It seems that you have prepared good things this year? Do you want to be the best?"
"Hehe, you are indeed Sister Dan Fei. I can't hide my thoughts from you." Even though Ye Dai looked elegant, he had a very good posture in front of Dan Fei and tried hard to portray himself as a younger brother.
.
He knew very well that Concubine Dan served Taifu Ye and was a popular person around him. As long as Concubine Dan fawned over her well, the impression she left on Taifu Ye would definitely be good.
Normally, as long as Concubine Dan said a few nice words in front of Taifu Ye, it would definitely be worth a thousand dollars.
Concubine Dan looked at the eager expressions of these young people, then turned back to Ye Chonglou and cast a look asking for instructions.
The old man didn't look very interested, but there was a faint look of lack of interest between his brows.
"Concubine Dan, come here." The old man waved.
Concubine Dan walked over and put her ear to the old man's mouth.
The old man's lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something. Concubine Dan blinked her almond-shaped eyes, her light eyelashes fluttering, and then nodded.
"Everyone, the old man said that today's birthday will include an additional link after the treasure presentation. Everyone must be mentally prepared. In this link, whoever can solve this problem will receive a favor from the old man."
"What?" The noble disciples below were all shocked.
Who is the old man? That is Taishan Beidou of Tiangui Kingdom, the totem of immortality of Tiangui Kingdom. A favor from him is definitely a gold medal to avoid death.
It is no exaggeration to say that a favor from the old man is more useful than a favor from the current king.
After all, the king's favor is nothing more than fame and wealth. All the young masters present are not short of these things, and these things can also be obtained through hard work.
However, Taifu Ye is a legendary figure. One of his favors can definitely transcend worldly glory and wealth.
Even the eldest prince Ye Dai was moved in his heart and showed some joy. He had received some information in advance, so he made full preparations for this birthday celebration. After hearing Concubine Dan say this, he probably guessed what he had done.
The preparation should be that the bet is right
As for the fourth prince Ye Rong, when he came in before, he heard Concubine Dan say that the old man had been troubled recently, and he felt vaguely that he had missed something.
Listening to Concubine Dan's words at this moment, this thoughtful feeling was further strengthened. Looking at the excitement that could not be hidden between the eldest prince's eyebrows, his premonition became even stronger.
"No, Ye Dai must have gotten some news this time and was prepared for this matter in advance. I must have missed something and was passive this time."
Ye Rong felt a little regretful, but also a little unwilling. Compared with the eldest prince, his connections in the capital were still far behind.
Judging from the current incident alone, it is obvious that the distinction can be made. The eldest prince's information can actually reach Taifu Ye directly.
"Sister Dan Fei treats me well and will never favor Ye Dai or reveal information to him privately. Ye Dai's mother has a powerful family, a wide network of contacts, and many eyes. Are we going to let him take advantage of her this time?
?" The more Ye Rong thought about it, the more useless he felt.
Lose with one step, lose with every step.
This is a favor from Master Taifu. Even their father, the current king, is probably not qualified to get it easily.
If this opportunity is taken by the eldest prince, then the eldest prince will be even more powerful. Invisibly, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the Taifu. Ye Dai, who already has an advantage in the battle for the prince, may be even more powerful.
Unstoppable
"What on earth is going on? It can give Master Taifu a headache?" Ye Rong was anxious and secretly praying, "I hope Ye Dai can't solve this problem, otherwise, this favor will fall on him, and we princes will all
