Chapter 805: The fickleness of human feelings (1)
In truth, if it wasn’t for the Commander-in-Chief handing over the list of envoys who presented the gifts to the Liang Prince Manor, and Xia qingchen’s name being on the list, he would have been captured long ago.
Because of his ident.i.ty as a Messenger, the Yu family did not dare to act rashly.
However, when the birthday banquet of the Liang Prince ended, the ident.i.ty of an emissary would no longer be of any use. That would be the time for the Yu family to make their move.
Other than being in charge of preventing Xia qingchen from filing a complaint without permission, these powers that were attached to the Yu family also shouldered another heavy responsibility-to capture Xia qingchen!
When the birthday banquet ended, Xia qingchen would have nowhere to escape to.
“Ignorant,” Xia qingchen slowly closed his eyes and spoke indifferently.
He didn’t come here today to offer birthday congratulations!
After waiting for a while, more and more guests came in.
No matter what kind of distinguished guests they were, they had to pa.s.s through the open-air square first.
“The palace master of the military Palace has arrived!” A melodious voice was heard.
Swoosh
A group of people immediately stood up in the open-air square. Most of them were the emissaries from the various armies.
As the only envoy of the city-guarding Army, Xia qingchen naturally had to stand up.
They looked to the side and saw a fierce-looking and awe-inspiring old man in plain clothes calmly walking toward Taihe Palace.
There were two women and a man following behind her. All the emissaries present knew her.
They were the three sons of the military Palace’s Palace Lord.
The eldest daughter, Jun ruyin, and the second daughter, Jun yaolan, were smiling like a spring breeze, attracting the reverent gazes of all the envoys.
On the other hand, third son Jun zhengshuo lowered his head and frowned.
It was a stark contrast to her two high-spirited sisters.
His presence was completely ignored by the emissaries from the military Palace. All their gazes were drawn to Jun ruyin and Jun yaolan.
Everyone knew that Jun zhengshuo wasn’t in the palace Lord’s good books and couldn’t inherit the position.
Although Xia qingchen’s banquet was in a corner, it wasn’t far from the VIP path in the center.
Jun zhengshuo’s gaze suddenly landed on Xia qingchen, who was standing in a corner. His eyes lit up, but he hesitated a little before walking up to exchange greetings.”Lord Xia, long time no see.”
Thinking back to that day at the sword burial pool, how he had a deep misunderstanding of Xia qingchen and even chased him away, Jun zhengshuo felt extremely awkward.
He was already mentally prepared to be coldly rejected by Xia qingchen.
“Yes, third young master, how have you been? I have yet to repay you for saving me that day.” Xia qingchen smiled lightly.
Although the third young master had been influenced by the Mad man sword and allowed him to leave first at the sword burial pool, he had still remembered the kindness he had shown him that day by helping him get rid of the wanted man from the inspection Hall.
Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flickered in Jun zhengshuo’s eyes. He was a little surprised by Xia qingchen’s att.i.tude.
“I am already very grateful that Lord Xia didn’t blame me for my recklessness in the sword burial pool. I don’t dare to ask for more repayment from you.” Jun zhengshuo suddenly felt very happy, as if ten thousand rays of sunlight had shone into his heart.
Xia qingchen smiled. third young master, your words are too serious. In the future, if you need my help, please look for me directly.
Jun zhengshuo’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. His face was filled with excitement as he bowed.”Many thanks, Lord Xia!”
This action attracted the attention of the messengers nearby, and they were surprised.
Why would the third young master give such a big gift to a young Messenger?
They were all emissaries from their respective divisions, so why didn’t they receive such treatment?
As they spoke, Jun ruyin and Jun yaolan also arrived among the envoys and greeted them one by one with friendly smiles.
The messengers were immediately excited and responded in a flattered manner.
This was one of the future Masters of the military Palace. Usually, they didn’t even have the chance to speak a word, but today, they could speak to them.
you must be sai hetuo from the border Legion. I’ve heard of your battle record. Jun ruyin’s temperament was magnanimous as she smiled and spoke to a gift-presenting emissary in his thirties.
The latter couldn’t contain his excitement and quickly said, “”This is this General’s honor.”
After that, Jun ruyin came before the second messenger and said, “”You’re general tie ta from the southern border Army, right? I’ve long heard of your great name.”
The general named tie ta was overwhelmed by the favor and said,”Young miss is too kind!”
She met the messengers one by one and had a simple conversation with them.
Upon seeing her walking over, Xia qingchen, who was standing at the side, stopped his conversation with Jun zhengshuo and a.s.sessed this young miss of the military Palace.
Previously, she and Jun yaolan had sent people to send over a large number of gifts, wanting to rope in Xia qingchen for their use.
It was just that Xia qingchen had tactfully rejected her.
Now that they met again, he didn’t know what she would say.
Jun zhengshuo, who was feeling happy, saw his big sister arrive, and his heart fell again.
It was still too early for him to be happy.
With this elder sister before him, he didn’t have any chance to win over Xia qingchen. He was far inferior to his elder sister in all aspects.
However, when Jun ruyin arrived in front of him, she only glanced at him and said with a slightly puzzled tone, “”This is?”
Since she had the heart to rope in Xia qingchen, how could she not know what Xia qingchen was like? At the very least, he should have seen his portrait.
city-guarding Army, Xia qingchen. Xia qingchen calmly replied.
Jun ruyin nodded her snow-white chin and replied with an “Oh.” She then shifted her gaze to Jun zhengshuo.”Let’s go, Prince Liang is about to arrive.”
What was going on?
Jun zhengshuo was stunned. His eldest sister had clearly seen Xia qingchen’s portrait and knew that he was the sword immortal of the earth who was like the sun in the sky, an existence that the number one sword Saint of the twilight Empire had admitted defeat to.
How could she treat it as if it didn’t exist?
Jun yaolan walked over and secretly beckoned Jun zhengshuo over with her pinky.
Jun zhengshuo was confused, but he didn’t lose his manners and bowed to Xia qingchen. “I would like to visit Lord Xia later, is that alright?”
“Yes, I can.” Xia qingchen spoke.
With that, Jun zhengshuo turned around and chased after his two sisters.
As they walked up the long steps of Taihe Palace, Jun yaolan turned to look at him and reproached him sternly, “”Third brother, you’re too reckless! How can you strike up a conversation with Xia qingchen without permission?”
Jun zhengshuo didn’t quite understand,”Second sister, how was I reckless?”
Jun yaolan shook her head in disappointment. don’t you understand the situation? ” she asked. Right now, the Yu clan is capturing whoever they want to capture, and Xia qingchen is their next target. As I expected, after the banquet ends, Xia qingchen will be captured.”
you’re openly trying to form a relationship with Xia qingchen in front of all the guests. Are you trying to tell the Yu family that our Jun clan is going to publicly go against the Yu family? ”
Jun zhengshuo finally understood the reason. He was silent for a moment before saying, ” but second sister, Xia qingchen has just won back an honor for our military Palace. Isn’t it a little too mean to treat him like this? ”
He could still remember the Army Palace’s defeat at the battle at the sword burial pool.
It was only because Xia qingchen had intimidated the first Sword Saint of the twilight Empire with a single sword strike that the military Palace had managed to retain its honor.
Jun yaolan’s usually gentle and amiable face was now covered with a layer of merciless indifference. “Third brother, as a high-level official of the military Palace, you must use reason to control your emotions!”
he used to be useful to us, so we have to treat him with respect. Now, not only can he not be used by us, but he will also become our burden. We won’t hit him when he’s down, but we can’t get into trouble!
Jun zhengshuo clenched his fists. Although he felt that his second sister was right, he still couldn’t accept it.
Seeing his expression, Jun yaolan shook her head and said, “”This is where you failed. You are too immature!”
Jun ruyin, who was walking at the front, did not even turn her head. “Third brother, you’re still lacking in judgment as always.”
He had once misjudged and missed the sword immortal on the ground. Now, he couldn’t see clearly Xia qingchen’s situation and situation.
How could such a person take on great responsibilities? (Midnight update)
