559: Chapter 8 Reminder_1 559: Chapter 8 Reminder_1 No matter how one tries to cover it up with words, defeat is still defeat.
Among those present, there are hardly a few fools.
Who is Lei Zhanqian?
A once-in-a-millennium genius of the Lei Family, the controller of Lei Xi Divine Skills, the cousin of Long Life Palace Master Jiang Wuqi, the future Family Head of the Lei Family, and a prominent figure among the younger generation of strong figures in Daqi.
What’s crucial is that he has already opened his second mansion.
Jiang Wang’s defeat of him ant surmounting a gap of a minor realm.
What does this imply?
It implies a complete supremacy in terms of cultivation talent and combat brilliance in all respects!
This was an open challenge, and it could be said that the entire Linzi was paying attention to the outco.
Otherwise, Zhongxuan Sheng would not have been able to sell out all the admission tokens; the price was enough for a trip to the four famous pavilions!
Although Lei Zhanqian was looking rather upset, with Jiang Wuqi present, there weren’t many who voiced sarcastic remarks.
Even Jiang Wuji only flashed a smile with deep implication.
Adding fuel to the fire at this ti was not a wise idea.
Of course, no one said anything to their faces, but behind their backs, it could be a different story.
Initially, it was you, Lei Zhanqian, who repeatedly claid that it was just a mont of carelessness in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower, and the Zhong Xuan Family paid a heavy price to allow Jiang Wang to luckily gain the advantage and obtain the Tiantui position.
So, is it still a mont of carelessness today?
As Zhongxuan Sheng put it—might as well change his na to Lei Careless!
The aftermath of the battle was handled by Zhongxuan Sheng, while Jiang Wang himself had been summoned aside by Jiang Wuyou for a talk.
The location was already set, the restaurant that Zhongxuan Sheng had reserved was still closed off, with no outsiders around.
Both went up to the second floor and sat opposite each other by the window.
Jiang Wuyou glanced at the window gap that Zhongxuan Sheng had pushed open earlier, her expression full of aning.
From this slit, one could just glimpse the situation at the Invincible Martial Arts Hall.
If Jiang Wuyou couldn’t guess the reason for this, then there was no need for her to contend for the throne.
Even though this was Zhongxuan Sheng’s doing, Jiang Wuyou clearly regarded them as tarred with the sa brush.
Jiang Wang extended his hand and pushed the entire window open.
In this way, he could maintain the privacy of their conversation while avoiding any misunderstandings.
Of course, he didn’t want to say he did it to avoid embarrassnt…
“May I ask why the Third Prince has sought out?”
“You’re setting out on a long journey?” asked Jiang Wuyou.
Jiang Wang was taken aback for a mont, not knowing how she had discerned this, but chose not to question it, simply replying, “Indeed, I am about to leave Qi Boundary temporarily.”
Jiang Wuyou nodded, then changed the subject: “In today’s battle, Lei Zhanqian’s strength was not inferior to yours.
It was just that he wasn’t as well-prepared as you, which led to his being led by the nose the entire fight.”
“Your Highness,” Jiang Wang smiled, “After leaving Daze County and before today’s battle, Lei Zhanqian had plenty of ti to prepare.”
His aning was clear—if that isn’t sufficient preparation, then who is to bla?
Jiang Wuyou was sitting across from him, her face filled with a heroic beauty, bathed in the light from the window, continuing noncommittally: “I’ve also had people review your entire fight with Wang Yi Wu.
Throughout the match, it was a narrow victory for you.
Moreover, before your battle with him, he had already fought with Zhongxuan Sheng and was sowhat worn out.
Wang Yi Wu is proud and arrogant; he will seek you out sooner or later.”
Jiang Wang was actually becoming impatient, but out of respect for the Hua Ying Palace Master,
he reached for the teapot and poured fresh water for Jiang Wuyou and himself, casually responding, “There are many stronger than , yet none who have caught up to have been able to catch back up.”
He set down the teapot and looked at Jiang Wuyou: “Did the Third Prince seek out particularly to say these things?”
What she said was certainly true, but also superfluous.
Victory and defeat are very straightforward matters; even Wang Yi Wu himself would not seek any excuse.
Jiang Wuyou then smiled, “Let’s cut to the chase, but Mr.
Mo insisted that I lay a proper foundation.
Although it seems of little use, and you appear to be growing impatient, he is, after all, my chief strategist, and I must give him face.
Shall we complete the formalities?”
Her frankness left Jiang Wang with little to complain about.
He wondered who “Mr.
Mo” could be but did not voice it.
Showing curiosity about the Hua Ying Palace at this mont was not a wise move.
“Please speak, Your Highness.”
“Do you know how famous you are now?” asked Jiang Wuyou.
“I am sowhat aware,” Jiang Wang responded with asured caution.
“After today’s battle, you will be even more famous.
Zhongxuan Sheng is actively working towards this as well.
So have advised to tell you that Zhongxuan Sheng needs your fa to counter Zhongxuan Zun and the principle that ‘the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.’ But I refused.
Because I know you are very smart and are well aware of your situation.
It is tireso and annoying to say these incendiary words.”
She paused before continuing, “What is your view of Qi Country?”
She seed to misunderstand the reason Jiang Wang was leaving the Qi Boundary, but naturally, he did not clarify for her.
He chuckled lightly, “A powerful nation in the world.
Why does it need my opinion?”
Sitting upright, Jiang Wuyou’s eyes shone with a keen light, “Here, many will want to recruit you.
But I must say, there is no better choice in all of Qi Country than the Hua Ying Palace.”
“Jiang Wang has a simple mind, only focused on cultivation.
I have never concerned myself with political matters, nor do I understand them.
Whatever stance I take, it aligns with that of Zhongxuan Sheng,” he said.
Jiang Wang looked at her, speaking gently but with a clear stance, “I have already given the sa answer to the Ninth Prince back in Daze County.”
Of course, Jiang Wuyou understood his aning.
“You have many troubles in Qi Country.
Even if you don’t seek out trouble, trouble will co looking for you.
As you beco more famous, your troubles will only multiply.
And so troubles cannot be resolved by Zhongxuan Sheng.”
She spoke calmly, confidently, with absolute assurance, “The Hua Ying Palace can spare you all these troubles so you can focus on your cultivation.
The resources you’ll enjoy will certainly be of the highest caliber, second to none.”
“These troubles, I dare not shirk.
With so effort, I can sohow manage them.
But there are so troubles I dare not even contemplate,” said Jiang Wang, intent on taking his leave.
“This offer stands for the long term.
You may consider it at length, there is no need to rush into a decision.
The palace is betting on your future.
The doors of Hua Ying Palace will always be open for you.
Additionally, to show my sincerity, I offer you a word of caution.”
“I am all ears.”
“Be wary of…
the Blue Stone Palace.”
Having said this, Jiang Wuyou smiled enigmatically, stood up, and swept away gracefully.
Jiang Wang sat there, his brow furrowed in confusion, keeping his emotions concealed.
Among the prince’s of the Jiang royal family of Daqi, there was no need to ntion Jiang Wuyong.
Of the four princes most likely to take the throne, he had now t all but Jiang Wuhua.
Jiang Wuqi had a grand air, and Jiang Wuyou had a noble spirit, both fitting the image of a king.
Only Jiang Wuji seed like a wastrel indulged in pleasures.
He did not know the purpose behind Jiang Wuyou suddenly uttering that sentence.
Yet he knew that any expression or look in his eye could possibly give the other party their answer, so he remained inscrutable.
Xu Fang was soone he and Zhongxuan Sheng had personally sought out, and the Seven-fingered man had already taken his own life.
Besides him and Zhongxuan Sheng, no one else should know.
Of course, if one were to infer from the outco, Zhongxuan Sheng could not be freed from suspicion.
However, the deposed Crown Prince Jiang Wuliang has been confined in the Blue Stone Palace for many years without setting foot outside.
By all accounts, he should pose no threat to anyone, so what was there to be wary of?
Was Jiang Wuyou genuinely warning him, or was she confirming sothing?
Or, as one of the heirs to the throne, did she intend to use Zhongxuan Sheng to probe Jiang Wuliang once more?
Jiang Wang faintly felt that Jiang Wuyou’s visit was not primarily for recruitnt; that rely served as a convenience.
The final sentence was her true purpose.
