C202 Reject
The current City Lord was only a Fifth Grade Official, and it took him more than half of his life to reach this stage. If there was nothing else, the entire Muguang City would be under his control.
Hsiang Yunyang had thrown out such a huge olive branch, making the young Ye Tian a Second Grade Official. It was something that the City Lord would never be able to envy in his ten lifetimes.
However, in Ye Tian's heart, he sneered. After all, there was no comparison between the Chaos Essence Bead and the Second Grade Assistant Minister position that Hsiang Yunyang had mentioned.
In his previous life, if he came to Chu Country with the identity of a Great Sovereign, he would even ask the current Emperor to come out and greet him. No matter what, Ye Tian would never be interested in such an exchange.
"I'm sorry. I can't agree to hand over the Chaos Essence Bead because the Chaos Essence Bead is too unstable. I don't want any accidents to happen because of this matter!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head. He rejected Hsiang Yunyang's offer and didn't agree to it.
The city lord looked at Ye Tian in surprise. Although he knew that the Chaos Essence Bead was a treasure, Ye Tian's decision to reject the Crown Prince's offer was too decisive.
"Ye Tian, you don't have to answer me in a hurry. You should know why I came here personally to tell you about this matter. If my family really wants it, we can just ask His Majesty to give us an order. This matter can also be done..."
Hsiang Yunyang didn't feel any discomfort because of Ye Tian's refusal. After all, no one would be able to easily exchange the Chaos Essence Bead for a rank two official position.
By saying this to Ye Tian, he had the intention of befriending Ye Tian. He was already the Crown Prince, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the new Emperor of this generation.
Although there were countless capable people around him, Hsiang Yunyang knew that Ye Tian was a rare person, so he naturally wanted to rope him in.
"Crown Prince, I understand what you are talking about, but I can't agree to such an exchange even if the Chu Country declares the Imperial Decree!"
Ye Tian was even more displeased when he saw Hsiang Yunyang using both persuasion and force. Furthermore, this matter was related to the Chaos Essence Bead, so there was nothing he could say about it!
When Ye Tian finished speaking, Hsiang Yunyang's calm expression finally froze. As the Crown Prince of Chu Country, this was the first time he was rejected by someone in his own territory.
"Your Excellency's mind is really firm, but you have to know that after doing something, you have to consider the feelings of the people around you. You can't just think about yourself, right?"
As Hsiang Yunyang spoke, the swordsman behind him also looked at Ye Tian coldly. Ye Tian believed that as long as the Crown Prince gave the order now. He would definitely make a move.
Furthermore, Hsiang Yunyang had raised the conflict between them. Since you don't agree to it, I won't do anything to you. You won't be able to protect everyone around you!
Ye Tian wasn't afraid of Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang or even the Chu Country, but the Yes would be tortured by this matter once!
"Crown Prince, I, Ye Tian, have something to say. What I'm talking about is what I mean. However, if someone were to suffer an undeserved calamity because of this matter, I naturally won't stand by and watch!"
Ye Tian straightened his back and looked at Hsiang Yunyang in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He wasn't afraid of what Hsiang Yunyang said.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back. After all, the matter has been settled. There's no need for me to continue staying here."
After saying that, Ye Tian turned around and left, leaving behind the City Lord who was standing beside him, looking back and forth innocently.
"Crown Prince..."
The City Lord was at a loss because of Ye Tian's decision. It would be a great injustice if he were to suffer the crime of sitting in a row because of this matter!
"You don't have to worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. I know what to do. You can withdraw for now..."
Hsiang Yunyang became very cold. He waved his hand and asked the City Lord to leave. After that, the swordsman behind him walked up to him.
"Crown Prince, this Ye Tian is really arrogant. Just give the order now. I will kill him and seize the Chaos Essence Bead and present it to the Crown Prince by force!"
The swordsman bowed with both hands, showing his loyalty to Hsiang Yunyang. His eyes were filled with determination.
When Hsiang Yunyang was young, he had accompanied him and protected him. The Great Sun Sword Technique had reached the acme of perfection. Very few people knew about it in Muguang City, but in the real Sword Cultivator, Nie Cang's name resounded like thunder!
The strength of an Earth Profound Stage Level Seven was even more terrifying. If it was in a real battlefield, Nie Cang would be known as the Human Buddha!
"I just came out and killed someone. My good impression of my father must have decreased. Now that I have the ability to cause trouble, I intend to give the Chaos Essence Bead to my mother. Helping her to cultivate in the sect does not mean that she can use it herself... "0
Hsiang Yunyang shook his head and refused. He did not want Nie Cang to kill Ye Tian because of this matter.
Everyone knew that Nie Cang, who was standing beside Hsiang Yunyang, wouldn't budge. If someone found out about this, they would know that the real murderer was the Crown Prince.
Hsiang Yunyang wanted to ensure that he wouldn't reveal any flaws before taking over the throne. Only then would he be able to secure his position in the throne.
After Nie Cang heard what Hsiang Yunyang said, he nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, a cruel smile appeared on his face as he looked at Hsiang Yunyang.
"There are many ways to make people surrender in pain. Death is just a simple way, isn't it?"
After Hsiang Yunyang said that, his facial expression became even richer. The python robe on his body emitted a dark light, like a reflection of the netherworld.
Hsiang Yunyang left with the swordsman Nie Cang. The two proud people did not even notice that in the corner, a pair of eyes was staring at the two of them. After the two of them left, the owner of the pair of eyes appeared from the corner.
This was a boy with an ordinary body. Compared to Ye Tian, he was only a few years younger, but his sallow face made him look like a sickly person.
The young man heard everything Hsiang Yunyang said from the beginning to the end. After that, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and left. His feet were actually a little high and low...
At this time, Ye Tian had already returned home. He did not say much when faced with his father and grandfather's questions.
If he told others that he had decisively rejected the Crown Prince's request, Ye Chengfeng and Ye Shouzheng would be even more worried.
Furthermore, Ye Tian didn't want his family to know about the Chaos Essence Bead. The fewer people who knew about it, the better!
Nothing happened for the next few days. The Ye family continued to operate as usual. Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang also brought his men back to the palace a few days later. Nothing unusual happened.
During this period of time, Hsiang Yunyang didn't even speak to Ye Tian. This situation made Ye Tian even more confused.
However, after Hsiang Yunyang left, the entire Muguang City suddenly isolated the Ye family. All the business activities of the Ye family were forced to stop, and even the Heavenly Pill Alliance Headquarters had sent out a notice.
Ye Tian's qualification as a Sixth Grade alchemist was revoked, and he was left in the Muguang City to investigate!
Such an incident happened so quickly that no one was able to prepare for it. Ye Tian didn't even think that this would happen all of a sudden!
The matter of his alchemist was still manageable, but Ye Tian didn't put it in his heart. However, if the business of Ye family were to stop here, it would cause more uncontrollable troubles if it continued for too long.
Helpless, Ye Tian could only look for Zuo Qiu and inquire about all of this. Although he knew that these things might be the means of Hsiang Yunyang, he didn't believe that Hsiang Yunyang's means could affect the Heavenly Pill Alliance.
