Chapter 807: The ceremony of the Prince of Liang (1)
Compared to the admiration he had earlier, he was now showing his ferocity. He grabbed the wolf Fang and said, “”I just put it on the table. Do you really think I’m giving it to you? Why didn’t you take a p.i.s.s and look at yourself! Hmph!”
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Wolf Fang and swaggered back.
The contrast in his att.i.tude before and after was shocking, but it also made one feel helpless and pitiful.
Xia qingchen had already declined, and no one was willing to be tainted by him. In fact, those who were tainted by him even drew a clear line between them, afraid that they would be implicated.
After this incident, the banquet guests in the square were all whispering to each other.
Those who didn’t know gradually learned the truth and couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines.
“Hiss! I wanted to get close to him, but fortunately, I didn’t have the time!”
“Tsk tsk! It’s better to stay away from this kind of person, he’s too unlucky!”
“Up until now, only a few of the people that the Yu family wanted to kill have been able to escape, right?”
Yu guitian, who was not far away, sneered, “”Xia qingchen, Xia qingchen, have you felt how terrifying the Yu family is? Do you regret your actions?”
it’s alright. The real despair is yet to come!
Very soon, Xia qingchen would discover that if he wanted to display his brilliance before the Liang Prince, he wouldn’t have the slightest chance.
Next, the palace Masters, princes, and princesses arrived one after another.
However, unlike the palace master, the Crown Prince and Princess came in a sedan, so no one saw their faces.
When all the guests had arrived, several loud and uniform shouts resounded through the air above the Liang Prince’s residence.
“The Liang w.a.n.g has arrived!”
Hualala-
Regardless of whether they were in the hall or in the open air square, all the guests stood up and bowed in the direction of Prince Liang.
Xia qingchen stood up as well, but he didn’t bow. He only quietly looked at the Golden sedan that was slowly approaching from the distance.
10 late-stage lesser moon elites and 100 beautiful maidservants slowly entered the palace in a luxurious Black Gold carriage.
From the moment he appeared to the moment he entered the palace, the guests in the square had no chance to see Prince Liang’s true appearance.
he’s a cool realm Supreme after all. We still can’t see his true appearance. What a pity! Sai, tuo, and the other envoys sighed.
Hearing this, many people showed the same regretful expression.
They had been chosen to come here because their greatest desire was to meet the legendary Prince Liang.
Even if he only saw her once, he would die without regrets.
“What’s a pity? If the gifts we offer are good enough and Prince Liang is interested, he will summon us to the palace to ask questions.” The fellow Imperial Guards were naturally the most familiar with the happenings in Liangzhou city.
Many of the envoys agreed in their hearts. They had made some inquiries before they came and knew that the Prince of Liang would indeed summon some of the envoys.
However, they were usually very few, and only three were summoned at most.
The emissaries covered all the organizations of the ten palaces. For example, the military Palace had ten legions, and each Legion had one to two emissaries.
The ten palaces added up to one or two hundred people.
The number of gifts he gave out increased to a hundred.
The gifts presented by the emissaries must have been carefully selected. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to stand out from the crowd and be noticed by the Prince of Liang.
At this moment, two rows of young men dressed in festive red clothes walked out of the hall. They had a kind smile on their faces as they came one by one to receive the gifts presented by the emissaries.
Each young man had a tray in his hand, on which the gifts he had received were placed.
“Dear guests, Prince Liang is already seated. If you have any gifts, please place them on the tray. If not, please do not place them on the tray.” The young man who was the leader of the group said in a gentle voice.
The guests understood and placed the gifts they had prepared on the tray.
One of the young men in red carried a tray and came before Xia qingchen. He smiled and said, “”Lord Xia, do you have anything to present?”
Xia qingchen cast a glance at the tray. His name was written on it.
When the tray was presented to Prince Liang, if he was interested in the gift, he would summon the messenger according to the name of the gift.
Xia qingchen cast a glance at Yu guitian who was far away. He was staring at him with a smile that was not a smile, as though he was watching a joke.
Xia qingchen silently retracted his gaze and looked at the red-robed young man before him.
If there were no accidents, he would have already been bribed by the Yu family. The gifts that Xia qingchen put up would most likely be switched out and replaced with ordinary gifts.
It was impossible for Prince Liang to know about the astonishing battle results of the misty cloud battle group.
“Lord Xia, may I ask where your gift is?” The young man in red was still smiling, but the hand he was holding the tray with clearly moved.
There was a piece of paper between the palm and the tray. It must have been the replacement item that was prepared to replace the battle achievement list.
“No, I didn’t,” Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.
“What?” the young man in red was stunned.
He thought he had misheard.
Xia qingchen was expressionless as he took out his battle achievement form and tore it into pieces right in front of him. He then spoke indifferently, “”As you can see, there’s no gift.”
As soon as he said this, the people nearby were all stunned.
As an emissary, he didn’t have a birthday gift to offer?
Was he crazy?
Not to mention the red-robed man, even Yu guitian was stunned. According to his calculations, Xia qingchen was here to hand over the battle merit list.
And now, he’s actually not giving anything?
As the emissary of the gift, it would be a great disrespect to the Prince of Liang if he came empty-handed.
Was he so disheartened that he wanted to die?
How could he understand that Xia qingchen was disappointed in the entire upper echelon of the cool territory and didn’t wish to place his hopes on the so-called Prince Liang?
The tingxue house was enough to save everyone.
“Lord Xia, please don’t joke around,” the young man in red said after a long while.
He didn’t know what to do. Xia qingchen didn’t even prepare a gift. How was he supposed to switch the gift?
“Joking? Do I know you very well?” Xia qingchen spoke coldly.
Only then did the young man in red turn to Yu guitian for further instructions. The latter nodded after a moment of silence. Then, the young man in red heaved a sigh of relief and wrote a large ” none ” on the paper on the tray.
What he meant was that Xia qingchen had nothing to give him.
“Lord Xia, if you don’t have any other gifts, I will take my leave.” The young man in red retreated.
Xia qingchen stood up and threw the piece of paper in his hand into the sky. He said calmly, “”It’s fine if Prince Liang doesn’t want to ask, but if he does, please tell him that he’s not worthy of my present!”
After he finished speaking, he stepped on the pieces of paper on the ground and left with his hands behind his back.
This scene caused everyone at the table to be stunned.
Xia qingchen actually dared to leave the banquet first and even said such treasonous words!
Was he really tired of living?
As for the people who shared the same table as him, after receiving Yu guitian’s gaze, they all stood up and followed Xia qingchen.
Yu guitian’s mouth curved,”it’s easy to die early.”
He felt that Xia qingchen should have given up on himself. However, this wouldn’t be of any help. It would only make Xia qingchen’s situation worsen.
“The ceremony is over. Send the gifts to the palace for Prince Liang to read.”
A hundred gifts were then sent into the main hall for Prince Liang to inspect.
Normally, Prince Liang would just give it a cursory glance and would not take it seriously.
However, Xia qingchen’s empty tray stood out too much among the dazzling array of gifts. It was hard for Prince Liang to not notice it even if he wanted to.
I’ll start updating the chapters from the past two days tomorrow! Ten chapters!
