That one maid was a little surprised, it was just a prince who came for a blind date, was it necessary for County Smokey to smile like this?
Recently, there have been numerous princes coming to Thousand Waters County for matchmaking, and the maid had long since seen it as nothing strange.
She had long heard that the Smoky Dust County Lord was a cold and frosty noble woman, who didn’t put anyone in her eyes, so how could she smile so happily because of a prince from a lowly county?
It was really a bit incomprehensible.
When Huang Yichen reached the top of the tower, he saw the two maids who had their meridians sealed, as well as Thirteenth County Lord Huang Yanran and Tenth Prince Huang Jing.
Both Huang Yan Ran and Huang Jing’s cultivation was inferior to Zhang Ruochen’s, and they were simply unable to unlock the sealed meridians of the two ladies-in-waiting.
“Boom! Boom!”
Huang Yichen quickly pointed out two fingers, striking the two maids’ eyebrows.
Two powerful streams of true qi flew out from her fingertips, shocking open the sealed meridians in their bodies, and the two maids gradually recovered.
They knelt on the ground and bowed to Huang Yichen, saying, “Greetings to County Master Yichen.”
Huang Yichen nodded, her blue hair fluttering as she walked over towards Huang Yanran and Huang Jing, staring at the injuries on Huang Jing’s body, and said in a cold voice, “Tenth brother, you went out to cause trouble again?”
Seeing Huang Yichen, the tenth prince Huang Jing immediately pounced over, lying at Huang Yichen’s feet, hugging Huang Yichen’s feet, crying and wailing, “Sixth sister, you’re finally back! That Yunwu County’s Ninth Prince is simply too deceitful, he doesn’t care about our Thousand Waters County, he’s lawless and has no one in his sight. The injuries on my body were all caused by him, you must avenge me.”
Huang Yanduan understood Zhang Ruochen and knew that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t possibly beat up Huang Jing for no reason.
Of course, she also understood what kind of goods this tenth brother of hers was. Although she didn’t know what exactly happened, she was able to guess a few things.
“Tenth brother can actually make even that Zhang Ruochen fellow angry, it’s really not easy.” Huang Yichen had never seen Zhang Ruochen get angry before, and he couldn’t help but admire his tenth brother a little in his heart.
Huang Yichen pretended to be annoyed and said in a cold voice, “That Ninth Prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom didn’t come to match with the Thirteenth Royal Sister, so how could he be so arrogant?”
The Thirteenth County Princess was very irritated and said, “Him? Doesn’t know the slightest bit of rules, I don’t look at him. I’ll make sure to have Father King order that both he and the Yunwu County King be imprisoned.”
Huang Yichen nodded, revealing a wry smile as he said, “You’re right, that guy indeed doesn’t know the slightest bit of rules and should be taught a lesson. However, locking him up would be meaningless! If he doesn’t want to marry you, then let him participate in the Sword Discussion Conference the day after tomorrow, and at that time, you can slowly humiliate him at the conference. With your status, you only need to reveal a little bit of news out, and naturally there will be many people to help you clean him up.”
“Alright! Let’s do as Sixth Sister says.” The Thirteenth County Mistress greatly admired Huang Yicun, so she obeyed Huang Yicun’s words.
Huang Yichen’s eyes revealed a few smiles, and seeing the sword box on the table, she said, “Is this a gift from that Ninth Prince to you?”
A look of disgust appeared in Thirteenth County Lord’s eyes as she immediately said, “Caixia, throw away the gift sent by that bast*rd, the sight of it is distracting.
Huang Yichen opened the sword box and looked at an icy cold jade sword lying in the box.
She cupped the jade sword in her hand and injected her true qi to feel the inscriptions in the sword.
“Seventh rank True Martial Treasure Weapon. That guy is willing enough to give it up for a blind date.” Huang Yichen put the jade sword away and said, “It’s too bad to throw it away! This sword fits perfectly with my physique, so I’ll take it for you!”
……
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the manor and exhaled a long breath, smiling slightly bitterly, “This time, I came to the Thousand Waters County Kingdom to ask for help, but I ended up failing!”
Originally, he wanted to befriend the Thirteen County Lords, but he didn’t expect to offend the Thirteen County Lords and the Tenth Prince instead.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen did not regret it.
That Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince were both too unbelievable, so even if they were offended, then so be it!
“Senior Sister Huang also seems to be one of the Thousand Water County King’s County Lords, so if I really can’t, I can go through her door.”
Zhang Ruochen was unwilling to go to Huang Yichen until it was absolutely necessary, in his opinion, Huang Yichen was even more incomprehensible and temperamental than the Thirteen County Lords and the Ten Princes.
At this moment, Zuo Longlin walked out from the manor, stared at Zhang Ruochen as if he was looking at a dead man, and shook his head and sighed, “Fool! You’ve caused a big trouble for the Yunwu County Kingdom again! Just wait and see, the Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince will definitely not let you off.”
Zuo Longlin already knew what happened in the manor and knew that Zhang Ruochen had offended the Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince.
Zhang Ruochen lazily ignored Zuo Longlin and did not even look at him.
Two servants from the Shangshu Mansion drove two bell-horse ancient carriages to the outside of the manor and stopped in front of Zuo Longlin and Zhang Ruochen respectively.
“County King Yunwu and County King Fire Dragon are both waiting at the Shangshu Mansion, the two princes please get on.”
Zhang Ruochen rode in the carriage and came to the Shangshu Mansion roughly half an hour later.
Zhang Ruochen and Zuo Longlin walked through the gate at the same time, and were led by the old housekeeper to the lobby.
At the moment, Shangshu Ning was sitting at the top of the lobby, with County King Fire Dragon and County King Yunwu sitting on the left and right sides.
When he saw Zuo Longlin walk in, County King Fire Dragon immediately asked, “Lin’er, how was the reflection of seeing the Thirteenth County Lord today?”
Zuo Longlin smiled and said, “Father, the Thirteenth County Mistress is incredibly beautiful, with an orchid heart, and has the face of a beautiful country, which my child admires very much in his heart. Thirteenth County Lord also thinks very highly of my child, and has promised to let my child participate in the Sword Discussion Conference the day after tomorrow.”
The Fire Dragon County King was overjoyed and said, “The Thirteenth County Lord gave you the Sword Discussion invitation?”
“What sword discussion post?” Zuo Longlin was somewhat surprised.
The Fire Dragon County King said, “As long as a genius is favoured by the Thirteenth County Lord, they will be able to obtain a sword argument invitation. Only by virtue of the Sword Discussion Poster can one participate in the Sword Discussion Conference.”
“The Thirteenth County Lord …… didn’t give me a Sword Discussion Poster ……,” Zuo Longlin said.
Minister Ning laughed, “Perhaps the Thirteenth County Lord forgot for a moment, maybe she will return to send the Sword Discussion Invitation over later.”
Zuo Longlin also let out a slight sigh of relief and nodded, thinking that this should be the case.
Only Zhang Ruochen was present to know that Zuo Longlin had not met the real Thirteenth County Lord.
The only reason he knew that Zhang Ruochen had offended the Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince was probably because a certain maid had told him.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not say this out loud, once he did, it would inevitably seem too embarrassing.
County King Yunwu looked at Zhang Ruochen with great concern and asked, “Jiu’er, how does the Thirteenth County Lord reflect on you?”
Before Zhang Ruochen could say anything, Zuo Longlin laughed coldly first and said, “County King Yunwu, you should also discipline the Ninth Prince, it’s just as well that he killed Prince Huo Xing and caused a monstrous disaster for the Yunwu County Kingdom! Today, he actually offended the Thirteenth County Lord and the Tenth Prince again, and it’s said that he even seriously injured the Tenth Prince.”
“What?”
Yunwu County King’s heart was shocked as drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, not expecting Zhang Ruochen to cause such a great trouble.
Even the consistently unmoving Minister Ning frowned slightly, his eyes staring sharply at Zuo Longlin as he said in a deep voice, “Is that really true?”
Zuo Longlin bowed and bowed to Ning Shangshu, saying, “In front of Lord Shangshu, how would my junior dare to talk nonsense. This matter is a thousand times true, and it is said that the Thirteenth County Lord has already let slip that she wants to imprison the Ninth Prince and the Yunwu County King in the Heavenly Prison.”
The Fire Dragon County King sat on the side, a hint of a gloating smile on his face as he gently picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, saying, “Yunwu County King, you really have taught a good son. Haha! You can’t live with your own sins.”
Minister Ning stood up boldly, his eyes clouded over as he coldly said, “County King Yunwu, you’d better take the Ninth Prince and immediately go to the Thirteenth County Lord to ask for forgiveness! If the Thirteenth County Lord becomes angry, even old me won’t be able to protect you.”
County King Yunwu stared Avray at Zhang Ruochen and sighed, knowing that Minister Ning had completely given up on them.
It was a blessing that could not be avoided.
Perhaps, Yunwu County Kingdom was destined to deserve this calamity, and no one could save Yunwu County Kingdom.
The Yunwu County King’s expression was despondent, appearing somewhat disheartened, just as he had just stood up and was about to leave, a servant walked in quickly from outside, cupping a silver-cast post in his hand, saying, “Lord Shangshu, this is the Sword Discussion post sent by the Thirteenth County Lord!”
Zuo Longlin revealed a joyful look, his heart was very excited, it must be the Thirteenth County Lord’s supplementary post to him.
Yunwu County King looked at the silver cast sword discussion post in the servant’s hand, his mood was very complicated, if that one sword discussion post was …… hey ……
“Jiu’er, let’s go!”
County King Yunwu led Zhang Ruochen towards the main gate.
Just as they walked out of the gate, they heard the laughter of Minister Ning, saying, “County King Yunwu, come back quickly. This Sword Discussion Sticker is given to the Ninth Prince by the Thirteenth County Lord, and I hope that the Ninth Prince will definitely go to the Sword Discussion Conference the day after tomorrow.”
County King Yunwu and Zhang Ruochen were both stunned and very surprised.
Re-entering the hall, with a smile on his face, Minister Ning handed Zhang Ruochen the Sword Discussion Invitation, patted Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, and laughed, “Indeed, he is a young talent, no wonder he can obtain the Thirteenth County Lord’s favour. Among the princes of the inferior counties, you are the first to receive the Sword Discussion Invitation, so it seems that the Thirteenth County Lord still thinks quite highly of you.”
“Impossible, impossible ……”
Zuo Longlin stared at the Sword Discussion Poster in Zhang Ruochen’s hand and said, “He clearly offended the Thirteenth County Lord, how could he possibly receive the Sword Discussion Poster? It must be that the Thirteenth County Lord wrote the wrong name, that one Sword Discourse Poster should be mine.”
Saying that, Zuo Longlin took two quick steps towards grabbing the Sword Discussion Poster.
Ning Shangshu coldly glared at Zuo Longlin, and shouted in a deep voice: “How dare you, you can snatch the Sword Discussion Sticker? Do you still have the old man in your sights?”
Just by Ning Shangshu’s glare, Zuo Longlin’s face turned pale and he retreated three steps backward, and with a poof, a mouthful of blood was spat out from his mouth.
Just a single glance had caused an expert of the Xuanji Realm Great Circle to be seriously injured.
If Shangshu Ning hadn’t been looking at the face of the Fire Dragon County King, that single glance just now would have killed Zuo Longlin.
