Liu Feiyao kept staring at Xiao Chen, but she didn't say a word. Her expression was cold, and there was no sign of any anger on her face.
It was as if Xiao Chen was just a stranger and had no interaction with her.
At such a young age, he can hide his emotions so perfectly, which shows how deep his scheming is.
Zhao Chongyang, on the other hand, hugged Xiao Chen and said politely: "Mr. Xiao, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you!"
"Zhao Chongyang? As his name suggests, he is quite talented!" Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Chongyang seriously and said with admiration.
This appreciation comes from the bottom of my heart. But it is only for Zhao Chongyang's talent and has nothing to do with his character or anything else.
When Zhao Chongyang heard this, his expression froze obviously.
He greeted Xiao Chen as a peer, but Xiao Chen commented on him, as if he was condescending.
Xiao Chen's tone was so similar to the tone in which the three supreme beings evaluated him back then?
On the surface, this seemed like a compliment, but in reality, it was an insult to him.
"Do you think I insulted you?" Xiao Chen seemed to be able to see through Zhao Chongyang's inner thoughts and said calmly, "Do you want to draw your sword against me?"
"Master Xiao is really good at joking!" Zhao Chongyang suppressed his inner impulse.
"I'm not kidding, I'm giving you a chance!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Really?" Zhao Chongyang's eyes flashed, and the sword intent grew in his body, ready to move.
But at this time, Emperor Cang Yue suddenly interrupted the two of them and said: "Double Ninth Festival, Mr. Xiao, tonight is the big stage between the human race and the demon race. If we have any grudges, we should put them aside for the time being and unite as one!"
"Uncle Liu taught you a lesson!"
Zhao Chongyang had great respect for Emperor Cang Yue. He suppressed his budding sword intention, looked at Xiao Chen deeply, and turned around to leave.
Liu Feiyao didn't say anything and left with Zhao Chongyang.
"Master Xiao, you can go and sit over there. The demon tribe's envoy should be arriving soon!" Emperor Cang Yue said to Xiao Chen again.
Xiao Chen was not polite and took Xiao Yingxue to the seat.
…
"Why didn't we start a fight?"
"That's right, I thought Zhao Chongyang would definitely avenge Princess Feiyao, but I didn't expect that there wouldn't be a fight!"
"It's a pity that we can't see the two of them fighting!"
The people around him were very sorry.
When Zhao Chongyang and Xiao Chen met, they thought there would be some sparks, and they would draw swords and fight each other if they disagreed, but they didn't expect it to end like this.
"Don't think so. Although Zhao Chongyang is now the supreme successor, he must give honor to the emperor on such an occasion. Otherwise, how could the emperor step down?"
"Well, after all, strictly speaking, Zhao Chongyang is still a citizen of the Cangyue Empire, and he should respect the emperor!"
"Then what does the emperor think? Let's just forget about Xiao Chen deposing the eldest prince?"
"Your Majesty puts the overall situation first, and the demon clan's envoy is coming soon. If we, the human race, have internal strife at this time, wouldn't we make the demon clan a joke?"
"It makes sense. Your Majesty is indeed a wise king. He is not driven by impulsiveness. He tolerates things that ordinary people cannot endure. His magnanimity is beyond the comparison of ordinary people!"
Everyone praised Emperor Cang Yue's actions, but they were even more disgusted with Xiao Chen's domineering behavior.
…
The banquet was in good order.
Except for the demon envoy who has not yet arrived, the seats are empty.
Shangguan Mingyue, Yang Xiner and Xiao Chen were not sitting together, but Yang Xiner secretly ran over and threw a note to Xiao Chen.
The note said: Be careful!
Xiao Chen glanced at Yang Xiner and found that she was sitting next to her father Yang Weiyuan, constantly winking at him and making strange gestures.
Xiao Chen couldn't understand it, but he could actually guess it.
Yang Xiner seemed to have gotten some information from Yang Weiyuan and was warning him.
"Yingxue, the situation may be very chaotic later. You should stay as far away as possible. Don't worry about me!" Xiao Chen sent a message to Xiao Yingxue.
Xiao Yingxue was a little confused when she heard this, and then nodded seriously, saying that she could take care of herself.
"The envoy from the demon tribe is here to pay a visit to Emperor Cang Yue!"
After hearing a high-pitched sound, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the sky.
The black shadow came very quickly and fell in the middle of the banquet.
"coming!"
Everyone's breathing was stagnant, and their moods were either excited, depressed, or angry.
In the past two or three hundred years, the demon clan and the human clan have been at war with each other, resulting in countless casualties.
Even at the scene, many relatives and clan members died at the hands of the demon clan, and they had irresolvable hatred towards the demon clan.
However, the other party is an envoy. If you make things difficult for the other party in this situation, it will appear that the human race is too stingy.
There are only four demon envoys in total. One of them is a young man who is wearing golden clothes and is extremely tall. He is much taller than ordinary young men of the same age. He can tell at a glance that he has extraordinary power.
The three people behind the young man in gold were all dressed in black robes, covering almost their whole bodies.
In front of the young man in gold, the three men bowed their bodies slightly and lowered their heads to show respect, so no one could see their faces.
"My name is Jin Peng, and I am the special envoy of our clan this time. Emperor Cang Yue, you are so polite!" The young man in golden clothes has a tall body and proud voice, carrying a sense of innate superiority.
Although he was paying a visit to Emperor Cang Yue, there was no trace of respect.
"Haha... The messenger can represent the Monster Clan at such a young age, which shows that he is extremely talented, which is really a blessing for the Monster Clan!" Emperor Cang Yue said politely.
"Emperor Cang Yue, our demon race has always been straight-tempered and doesn't like your human race's politeness and red tape. If you don't mind, I'll get straight to the point!" Jin Peng seemed to be very unwilling to talk nonsense.
"Of course I don't mind. If the envoy has something to say, it doesn't matter!" Emperor Cang Yue said.
"Refreshing!" Jin Peng said, "My visit today is to express our apology on behalf of our clan for sending the Fusion Stage to attack Yuan City. As compensation, our clan has temporarily ceased war with the human race and donated a batch of cultivation resources to the human race."
When everyone present heard this, they were all surprised.
The Monster Clan has always been strong, never talks about reason, and commits all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, looting, etc. Why are they so easy to talk to now?
Not only did he take the initiative to cease the war, but he also gave away training resources to the human race?
"Messenger, are what you said true?" Emperor Cang Yue asked hurriedly, "Can you represent the entire demon clan?"
"Of course, this is not my personal wish, but the unanimous decision of the entire demon clan!" Jin Peng affirmed.
"Very good!" Cang Yue Emperor Long Yan was delighted and said happily, "Come, please show the envoys your seat quickly!"
"Wait a minute!" Jin Peng interrupted Emperor Cang Yue, "I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"What else does the messenger have to say?"
"What I want to say is, you have seen the sincerity of our clan, but where is the sincerity of your human clan?" Jin Peng said lightly, "The reason why our clan attacked Yuan City was because the son of our clan's Northern Demon King died at the hands of your clan.
Hand, just now you got angry!"
"What the messenger means is..." Emperor Cang Yue hesitated.
"Hand over the murderer who killed the son of the Northern Demon King. If not, everything I just said will not count, and the war between humans and demons will continue!"
