C238 He Asked for His Opinion
This was because the number of people participating in this competition wasn't much different from the number of people in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Apart from Ye Tian, the strongest one was the swordsman, Nie Cang. However, Nie Cang did not have any advantage in front of Ye Tian.
It could be said that Ye Tian was just going through the motions this time. No matter how many schemes he was plotting, Ye Tian's schemes were powerful enough. He could defeat all opponents with one strike!
"Aren't you a little too arrogant? I'm still talking to you. As long as you agree to it, we can solve everything together. It's much better than the current situation!"
"But if you are still so stubborn, your life will be in danger. Even everything that Hsiang Yunjie has now will be short-lived. I think it has only been a little while since Hsiang Yunli died. You won't forget what happened to him, right?"
Hsiang Yunyang was very calm. He wasn't much different from before. Even when facing such a confident Ye Tian, he didn't have any fear.
It could be said that from a certain point of view, Hsiang Yunyang already possessed the Qi of a king, and he had the confidence to win the battle.
However, Hsiang Yunyang didn't want to make this matter too big, so it was better for him to be friendly with Ye Tian.
"I think this is just what you think. It isn't the final moment yet. Why are you so confident?"
Ye Tian sneered at him. He didn't care what Hsiang Yunyang said at all, and even mocked him mercilessly.
In Ye Tian's eyes, Champion Marquis might not be an important matter, and it wouldn't be a big deal even if he abandoned him.
However, for the sake of Hsiang Yunjie's promotion, he had to keep this title in his hands. He couldn't let Hsiang Yunyang take it away from him!
"I think you know the pros and cons, but if you are stubborn, I can't say much about this matter. Just treat it as me treating you to a meal to see you off..."
After Hsiang Yunyang finished speaking, he waved his hand and didn't say anything else. However, he could feel that he was quite confident in this matter from his carefree manner.
Although Ye Tian didn't know what kind of calming pill the Crown Prince had taken, he didn't care at all. As long as he attacked, he had to fight for Champion Marquis.
Therefore, Ye Tian didn't stay any longer. He stood up and left without any face. Hsiang Yunyang didn't stop him from doing so.
When he returned to Hsiang Yunjie's residence, the latter was very curious about Ye Tian's trip to the Crown Prince's Palace. He had to ask about the details of the matter.
Ye Tian only briefly told Hsiang Yunjie a few things, but didn't let Hsiang Yunjie know too much. The two of them chatted for a while before they went to sleep.
At dawn the next day, the entire Imperial City suddenly became very lively, which made Ye Tian very curious.
When Hsiang Yunjie went to the Imperial Palace to inquire, he found out that it was the emissary from Dongzhou Country who came to pay a visit. The two countries had been together for many years and often interacted with each other.
On this day, besides Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang, no other princes were allowed to enter the Imperial Palace. Only after the emissary paid a visit to Chu King would everything be normal.
Ye Tian didn't care about this. He could still accept the fact that he was delayed by a few days.
However, what Ye Tian didn't expect was that in the evening, the old official who followed Chu King went straight to the courtyard that Hsiang Yunjie had taken over. He was still holding a golden order scroll in his hand.
This color of the order scroll would only be used when Chu King gave some orders. The meaning behind it was very grand. Even in some wars, the golden order scroll wouldn't be used.
"Mr. Ye, this old servant isn't here to reminisce about old times. Our family is here to convey some thoughts to my king..."
The old official was very respectful when he saw Ye Tian. This was also Chu King's intention. Chu King knew that Ye Tian was not an ordinary person, so he naturally had to treat this young hero well.
When he saw the scroll in the old official's hand, Hsiang Yunjie knelt down in fear. He even pulled Ye Tian along, not daring to let Ye Tian neglect him.
"Grace Marquis, don't be nervous. My king has said that Mr. Ye doesn't need to kneel in front of the king. This is an eternal privilege!"
After the old official finished speaking, Hsiang Yunjie was secretly amazed. Since the start of the Chu Country's court session, only a handful of people had this privilege.
Since ancient times, only Ye Tian himself had a white body like this.
"I'm sorry to bother you, old uncle."0
Ye Tian immediately asked the old official to speak. With such respect, there must be something big behind it, and it was not an ordinary matter.
After that, the old official briefly explained what had happened today. This time, the messenger of Dongzhou Country was not here to form an alliance, but to provoke them!
Dongzhou Country was located outside the ocean. The geographical environment was extremely complicated, and some of them were eyeing the Central Plains. However, because of the powerful soldiers and generals of Chu Country, they had been rejecting them from entering the country.
However, the movement between the two countries had not decreased. Every time the Dongzhou Country sent someone to Chu Country, it was to investigate the situation and prepare for the invasion at any time.
This time, the emissary of the Dongzhou Country brought an alchemist and an alchemist of the Dongzhou Country. According to the emissary, in the huge Chu Country, even ten level ten alchemists could not compare to one alchemist.
Such provocation was naturally unbearable for the ministers in the court. They warned the emissary from the Dongzhou Country, but the alchemist he brought was using his palm as the furnace and his Qi as the fire. He grabbed a handful of ordinary herbs and refined a Black Grade medicinal pill!
With such strength, even the imperial alchemist would not dare to believe that he could defeat this kind of technique. For a time, the Chu Country was at a disadvantage. If the surrounding countries knew about this matter, the Chu Country would definitely lose some face.
Chu King then thought of Ye Tian. According to the intel, Ye Tian had become a Fifth Grade Alchemist in the first year he entered the Heavenly Pill Alliance, and in the second year, he had advanced to the Sixth Grade Alchemist.
Although there was only a difference of one grade between them, a Sixth Grade Alchemist already had the possibility of refining an Earth Level Pill.
Chu King originally wanted to invite the elders of the Heavenly Pill Alliance to help the Chu Country gain face, but he knew that the Heavenly Pill Alliance was not a power in the country. If he wanted to invite them out of nowhere, he would have to pay a hefty price.
However, Ye Tian was completely different. Although he was a member of the Heavenly Pill Alliance, he was very close to Hsiang Yunjie now. It would be much easier to find Ye Tian.
That was why the old official had appeared in front of Ye Tian. He only wanted Ye Tian to fight for the glory of the Chu Country!
"Mr. Ye, don't worry about it. This is just an idea of my king. He wants me to ask you about your attitude. After all, Mr. Ye is a civilian. Our king can't force him..."
The old official's face was full of smiles. Seeing Ye Tian say such polite words made Ye Tian feel very awkward.
Chu King's meaning was that he wanted to ask you for your opinion. Whether you agree or not, you can do it. Even if you agree, you are still willing to fight for the glory of the country. No one will force you to do it.
But the golden scroll was personally delivered by the old official beside Chu King. This was not asking for his opinion, but a completely different kind of coercion!
If Ye Tian dared to say half a word of no, the present ceremony would immediately be destroyed. Even Hsiang Yunjie would be affected by this matter!
"Since it's Chu King who gave the order, how could I dare to disobey? I'll pack up now and go with the old uncle!"
Ye Tian cupped his fists and could only agree to this matter, but the old official still immediately retorted.
"Mr. Ye, don't think too much about it. This is just my king asking for your opinion, sir!"
...
After preparing everything, Hsiang Yunjie brought Ye Tian to the Imperial Palace. The alchemist from Dongzhou Country would only appear on the second day of the assembly. However, Ye Tian had to make preparations on the night before yesterday!
