Chapter 0171 The result of making Dan Fei's jaw drop
Seeing this, Concubine Dan opened her lips slightly and said with a faint smile: "Whether things are good or bad, it's up to the old man to judge them. The next one."
Seeing Concubine Dan reveal the matter in an understatement, although Ye Dai was not happy, he did not refute anything. He smiled faintly and returned to his seat.
She felt even more unhappy. Although Sister Danfei seemed fair, she had actually come to Ye Rong's rescue twice. This made Ye Dai feel like countless bugs were biting her.
"Could it be that in Sister Dan Fei's eyes, a prince born as a concubine is more worthy of her protection than me, the eldest prince of orthodox blood?"
Ye Dai didn't believe it. He absolutely refused to admit it: "It must be Ye Rong, a brat who is always good at fawning and making Sister Dan Fei happy. In terms of talents and background, Sister Dan Fei must be more optimistic about me. She is Ye
Rong Kaifeng must be out of sympathy for the weak. However, at the height of the old man, how can he have such a woman's kindness to sympathize with the weak? I, Ye Dai, no matter from every aspect, I am the best."
Ye Dai comforted himself in his heart and encouraged himself.
This farce was exposed by Concubine Dan, but it did not affect the atmosphere behind it. The children of various noble families showed their talents, and many good things were presented one by one.
After a while, gifts were placed on the table one after another.
Concubine Dan walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, this year is strange. Each family and their entourage have prepared many gifts. The total number of gifts is twice that of last year."
The old man kept his eyes half-closed, like an old monk in meditation. After hearing Concubine Dan's words, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Let's take a look." The old man said only three words lightly.
These three faint words seemed to have special magic power, making many people present tremble slightly in their hearts.
Everyone knows that after the old man sees it, he will point out the top three treasures.
And these three people will be qualified to ask the old man questions personally and get his guidance.
This is not only a matter of face, but also a real harvest for the entire Tiangui Kingdom. Those who want the old man to give personal guidance can line up from the royal capital to the border.
However, only very few people get this kind of opportunity.
These princes have always received guidance from the old man, but that was when everyone was together and they all learned the same things.
The old man will not be partial, opening a small stove or something for anyone.
And this kind of face-to-face guidance is tantamount to making a small fuss. Competition for this kind of honor has always been fierce even among princes.
Firstly, it was to leave a good impression in front of the old man, and secondly, it was to prove to the monarch that he was favored by the Soul King who protected the country.
The old man walked slowly around the piled gift table. No matter which gift he looked at, he had no special expression, neither sad nor happy.
From the old man's expression, no one could tell whose gift was approved by the old man and whose gift was despised by the old man.
However, Ye Dai's mood was relatively relaxed. He was very confident that although there were many good gifts presented by each family this time, there was absolutely no one that could compare with him.
The Yellow Dragon Sea Viewing Map is definitely far superior to other gifts in terms of value and quality.
Including Ye Rong's saber-tooth flying fox cub, it is just a pet and plaything after all.
And his Yellow Dragon Viewing Sea Map is an absolute treasure, a treasure that is useful to even those in the spiritual realm. This kind of thing is hard to come by.
To be honest, Ye Dai hesitated for a long time before giving away this treasure and spent a lot of money on it. All he wanted was to win the old man's favor and gain his appreciation, so that the old man would recognize him as the future prince and heir to the monarch.
He knew that although establishing a crown prince was a matter for the monarch and his ministers, Taifu Ye's opinion was of vital importance. If he did not agree with it, even the monarch would not dare to make a decision easily.
In a sense, Taifu Ye's authority in the Tiangui Kingdom is higher than that of the monarch.
The king can be replaced.
As for Taifu Ye, no one can replace him in Tiangui Kingdom.
Concubine Dan, on the other hand, has been following the old man patiently, with a smile on her face, accompanying him to observe these gifts.
In fact, in Concubine Dan's eyes, regardless of her personal preferences, she does feel that the Yellow Dragon Sea Viewing Map is definitely the ultimate treasure and cannot be compared with other gifts.
However, Concubine Dan couldn't figure out what the old man meant.
Just when Concubine Dan was trying to figure out what the old man was thinking, the old man suddenly sent a message from his spiritual consciousness and asked: "Xiao Dan, which one of these gifts do you think can be the finale?"
When I ask questions via voice transmission, I don’t worry about the people below hearing me.
Concubine Dan was silent for a moment, but she still said truthfully: "In terms of quality, the Yellow Dragon Viewing Sea Map should be the final treasure."
"Well, Xiao Dan, you didn't lie." The old man smiled lightly, "It's just that I wouldn't choose it as the finale."
"Why is this?" Concubine Dan was slightly startled, "If this thing cannot be the finale, will it be unfair if someone else... is selected as the finale?"
"Unfair? If they think I'm being unfair, they don't have to come. This is all voluntary. I never asked anyone by name to come." The old man's tone was light, but there was a sense of detachment.
When he reached his status, it no longer mattered whose face he looked at, whose mood he took care of, or who he favored or suppressed.
If he thinks it's good, then it's good. If he thinks it's not the finale, then it's not enough.
No explanation is needed. Whether you understand it or not, it cannot change the way the old man chose. You can doubt the old man's choice, but you cannot doubt the old man's authority.
"Old man, Xiao Dan dares to ask, but why?" Concubine Dan was still a little curious.
"It's very simple. This Yellow Dragon Sea Viewing Map is an imitation." The old man smiled casually, "But even if it is the original, I will not choose him as the finale."
"Imitation?" Concubine Dan was stunned, "The original is not enough for the finale?"
"Yes. There are two reasons. First, the Huanglong Sea Viewing Map itself was made by me, but it is so old that no one knows its origin. I didn't expect that the descendants of the next generation would actually regard the imitation as a treasure and give it to me.
Haha, Concubine Dan, tell me, have I lived too long?"
"The old man has a long life, and no matter how long he lives, it is not long. But the second reason is what Xiao Dan wants to know.
"The second reason? Isn't that simple? There is naturally something that attracts me even more. This thing, in my heart, is the ultimate treasure."
"Oh?" Concubine Dan was really surprised, there is something even better? What is that? Concubine Dan was adopted by the old man since she was a child, and she knew his taste very well.
Could there be anything more appealing to the old man than the Yellow Dragon Sea Map, and yet she, Concubine Dan, didn't even notice it?
"Xiao Dan, let's start writing the list. The third place is a replica of the Huangquan Sea Viewing Map; the second place is a saber-toothed flying fox cub; the first place is the finale treasure, Jiuhua Jade Dew Wine."
The old man waved his sleeves, held the inconspicuous wooden wine bottle in his hand, and murmured in his mouth: "Unexpectedly, in the Tiangui Kingdom, I would be lucky enough to see this Jiuhua Jade Dew Wine, it's strange, it's strange."
Obviously, the old man had tasted Jiuhua Jade Dew Wine somewhere during his long years. Although he is not as crazy and unforgettable as Shi Xiaoyao, good things, as time goes by, the impression left in the memory will become better and better.
profound.
This Jiuhua Jade Dew Wine had left a very deep memory in the old man's heart. But this time, this inconspicuous gift from Jiang Chen inadvertently awakened that profound memory in the old man's mind.
It's rare to see a bright light
Concubine Dan was completely confused when she saw the old man's action.
For a moment, she almost suspected that the old man had made a mistake. But then she gave up the ridiculous idea. How could the old man make a mistake with his vision?
However, compared with the piled treasures, this wooden hip flask looks like the ugly duckling among the swans. It looks shabby no matter how you look at it.
Unexpectedly, the old man picked out this stone from a pile of jewelry and chose it as the final treasure. This scene was too dramatic.
However, the people below could not see what they were doing on the stage, but they had no idea what was going on and were all waiting anxiously.
At this moment, Concubine Dan came out from behind the stage, and her pleasant voice sounded again: "Everyone, after the old man's tasting and selection, the three treasures that rank among the top three have been selected."
Hearing that the top three treasures had been selected, the disciples below, who were noisy at first, suddenly became silent.
Everyone looked at Concubine Dan with their eyes wide open, full of expectation, hoping to interpret the information about their selection from Concubine Dan's eyes.
It's a pity that there is no special indication in Concubine Dan's eyes, and there is nothing subjective in her elegant face.
However, the more Concubine Dan behaves like this, the more stable Ye Dai becomes. If Concubine Dan thinks there is something unexpected in this top three list, will she behave in a special way?
Concubine Dan didn't show any expression at all, so what does that mean? It means that the old man has chosen something. There is no suspense. Ye Dai's Yellow Dragon Viewing Map must be the final treasure.
There is almost no suspense
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Dai also stood up straight and took a step closer to the stage, preparing to welcome this glorious moment when he would step on everyone's throne.
And his followers all had smiles on their lips and looked prosperous. Lu Wuji even shot a provocative look towards Jiang Chen.
The intention was clearly to demonstrate to Jiang Chen.
How could Jiang Chen care about Yi Lu Wuji's childish behavior? No matter who is the champion or the top three, Jiang Chen doesn't care at all.
Unlike these people, he has no intention of trying to please anyone. Whether this old man appreciates or ignores him, Jiang Chen doesn't mind at all.
Even if the old man can dominate the Tiangui Kingdom with one hand, so what? The strong men Jiang Chen has seen in his previous life, such as the old man Ye Chonglou, cannot be ranked at all.
To put it bluntly, in Jiang Chen's previous life, even if his entourage had to choose an entourage, I am afraid that Mr. Ye's level would not be qualified.
On the other hand, Ye Rong, who was in front of Jiang Chen, leaned forward slightly, showing his ambition to compete with the eldest prince.
Time seemed to have stopped. Everyone's eyes were focused on Dan Fei's sexy and moving red lips, waiting for the announcement of the result.
