C251 Lowering His Head

At that moment, the sound of horses galloping could be heard. It was as if the water in the pond was rippling. Countless people looked forward and saw two horses approaching at a very fast speed.

In a short while, the crowd saw their appearances clearly. One was a man and the other was a woman. The man was handsome and had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The woman had a cold temperament and was devastatingly beautiful. She looked like a celestial maiden that had descended to the mortal world.

It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.

All the people present were either sons of Kings or talented geniuses. They were well-informed, so they had some guesses about the identities of these two people.

Lee Ze put down the sword in his hand and didn't continue to attack Wang Xiu. He looked at the two of them with a face full of respect.

If Wang Xiu was said to have snatched away the quota of the Lee family, it would make him very unhappy. However, these two men in front of him were his enemies.

The Lee family had a lot of good food and drinks with Prime Minister Zuo, but with Prime Minister Bai's help, they had no choice but to give up Prime Minister Zuo's power.

This had also reduced the power of the Lee family. In these few years, the Emperor had become more and more convinced of Prime Minister Bai. There were many things that Prime Minister Zuo was unwilling to do, and Prime Minister Zuo had long regarded Prime Minister Bai as a thorn in his side.

It was common for people to fight to the death in the political scene. Lee Ze had already investigated who Prime Minister Bai had handed over the quota of the Zhongnan Mountain to, and had also found out about Ye Xu's appearance.

The rest of the people were no longer as hostile as before. The princess only glanced at Ye Xu and Yaoguang before shifting her gaze away.

"I never thought that the person Prime Minister Bai chose would be a child who has not even fully grown hair. This eyesight is really..."

Lee Ze deliberately left a ending note and didn't continue speaking. Those with discerning eyes understood what he meant.

He just did not expect that Lee Ze would scold Ye Xu like this from the very beginning. Prime Minister Bai and Prime Minister Zuo's disagreement had actually reached such a stage?

Ye Xu had just dismounted from his horse when he heard these strange words. Although he was young, he was not a real child.

He didn't look at Lee Ze, as if he hadn't heard what Lee Ze had said. Ye Xu tied his horse under the tree and said, "I am Ye Xu, and this is Yaoguang. We have been invited by Bai Qing to go to Zhongnan Mountain. We are new here, and we don't know many things. Please advise us."

Ye Xu said these words very politely, but if he really didn't understand a lot of things, would he just ignore Lee Ze like this?

Many people looked at him with inquiring eyes. They were thinking about the relationship between this young man that Prime Minister Bai had taken a liking to and Prime Minister Bai.

Lee Ze was completely ignored. His face turned pale and embarrassed. As a noble young master, he had to lower his head because of his power, but this didn't mean that anyone could ride on his head.

Especially someone like Ye Xu, who didn't know where he came from and was also Prime Minister Bai's man.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask us to teach you?"

Lee Ze said rudely. From the standpoint of the family, the more he could suppress Ye Xu, the more the family would value him.

When Ye Xu heard what Lee Ze said, he finally gave him a glance.

Ye Xu originally didn't want to participate in the affairs of the government. Although he had taken Bai Qing's spot, it could be considered as a cooperation.

Bai Qing didn't have nothing to ask for.

But even if it was a cooperation, in the eyes of some people, he was Bai Qing's person. He wanted to go against them.

And Lee Ze was such a person.

"En? I saw that your words were rude and rude. Initially, I thought that you were a servant of some young master, so I didn't give you any advice."

Ye Xu put on a puzzled expression and looked at Lee Ze. Then, he came to a sudden realization and said. "Could it be that you are also a young master of some family?"

Yaoguang coldly glanced at Lee Ze and continued to stab him, "Young master, you must be mistaken. Everyone says that the young masters and young ladies of Imperial City are all noble and reasonable people. Those with such rude words will definitely not be some young master."

The two of them sang the same tune. Lee Ze was so angry that his face turned white and red. He glared at Ye Xu angrily and almost flipped the table!

It was one thing for Ye Xu to ignore him earlier, but now he said that he was vulgar like a servant. As the young master of Lee family, when did he end up being bullied by an outsider?0

However, he was now in Zhongnan Mountain, and he knew that Ye Xu was someone highly valued by the Medicine Valley's Valley Master. For a moment, it was not good for him to make a move on Ye Xu, as he was afraid that he would cause trouble and lose the quota of the Zhongnan Mountain.

Lee Ze held back his anger and gave a look to the people around him.

"Ye Xu, we understand that you don't know anyone from your hometown. This is the son of the Lee family's direct descendant. Don't make a mistake in the future."

The name of the person who spoke was Song Jie, a member of a small family that was attached to the Lee family. He usually followed behind Lee Ze, but now, he was talking to Ye Xu with a high and mighty aura.

Upon hearing Song Jie's words, Lee Ze's facial expression became much better. He said, "You don't recognize me, so I won't pursue the matter today. However, if this happens again in the future, even if you are Prime Minister Bai's subordinate, you have to kowtow and apologize to me!"

Lee Ze gave himself a way out of this predicament. After saying that, he didn't care about Ye Xu's reaction and went in front of Wang Xiu.

After some verbal arguments, Wang Xiu found an opportunity to regulate his breathing and take some medicine. His facial expression became better.

Seeing Lee Ze walk over, Wang Xiu stood up and took out the large saber in front of him.

He knew that Lee Ze would take revenge for the smallest grievance. He would not let this matter rest. Therefore, he seized every opportunity to recover and strengthen himself.

"Wang Xiu, I will give you a chance to live. As long as you kneel down and kowtow before me, admitting your mistakes, you will never enter the Imperial City in your lifetime. I will let you go this time, and I will show you mercy and allow you to enter the Zhongnan Mountain!"

Lee Ze held a sharp sword in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Wang Xiu. As long as Wang Xiu made any unusual movements, his sword would stab towards Wang Xiu.

"Wang Xiu?" Ye Xu seemed to have heard of this name somewhere before.

"Young master, Wang Xiu is only twenty years old this year, and his cultivation is at the second level of the Core Gathering Stage. He had gone all out to fight for the top 20 of the Heavenly Incense Ranking, and had obtained a spot in the Zhongnan Mountain. The reason why Lee Ze targeted Wang Xiu so much was probably because of the spot in the Zhongnan Mountain. Besides, Wang Xiu doesn't have any family backing him, so he has rejected all the other families' invitations. "

Yaoguang explained. Compared to Ye Xu who was focused on cultivation, she had helped him collect some information beforehand.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Yaoguang suggested, "Young Master, should we..."

Ye Xu knew what Yaoguang meant. Lee Ze was too shameless. Wang Xiu had fought for the quota of the Zhongnan Mountain with all his might. Now that Lee Ze said this, it was as if he was giving it to Wang Xiu.

Not to mention kowtowing and admitting his mistake. Wang Xiu was covered in sword wounds. It was enough to tell that he was not a person who would easily surrender.

If he helped Wang Xiu now and entered the Zhongnan Mountain, he wouldn't have to worry about being isolated and helpless.

"Let's wait for a while." After saying that, Ye Xu looked at Wang Xiu. He wasn't the Virgin Mary, so he wanted to see if Wang Xiu was worthy of his help.

Yaoguang nodded and looked at the scene.

Wang Xiu's hand was tightly holding the large blade with the Azure Dragon engraved on it.

He had always thought that he was alone and never thought that someone would help him. Therefore, he had also learned to bear with it and to be fierce.

If he did not lower his head to Lee Ze, he would not be able to live in this current situation. Then, wouldn't his goal, his dream, and his painstaking cultivation all be in vain?!

He absolutely could not do that!

Wang Xiu bit his lips. His fingers gripped the blade tightly, and his body slowly lowered.
