Misty Rain of the Old Times

Upon hearing this, Prince Jiang paused in raising his glass, because Chen Xuan was sitting opposite him rather lazily, without even moving the wine glass on the table. In other words, not only did Chen Xuan not drink the toast offered by the host, Prince Jiang, he was too lazy to even look at it!
The dignified Prince Jiang, second only to the emperor and above all others, had ever met him without being respectful? It could even be said that just meeting him was an honor. But now, he greeted the guest with a smile and offered a toast, but Chen Xuan remained indifferent. This was tantamount to a public slap in the face, more humiliating than verbal abuse.

In this era, the word "etiquette" has penetrated everyone's bones. From nobles to common people, who doesn't put etiquette first? Even ignorant children walking on the street must stop and greet their elders, otherwise they will be called uneducated, let alone in such an occasion.

Chen Xuan didn't even bother to pretend to have basic etiquette, and was clearly rubbing King Jiang's face on the ground. In comparison, what was Chen Xuan's straightforward and relatively tactful question?
The Jade King of Frost Moon Country beside him had a flash of light in his eyes and lowered his brows slightly, pretending not to see it. On the surface, he was also a guest, so it was inappropriate for him to stand there and say anything about Chen Xuan's behavior. It would be better for him to be mute.

On a separate note, he wasn't a fool. Prince Jiang had revealed the secrets of Chen Xuan and Princess Fuyao's relationship to him, hoping he'd target Chen Xuan so he could reap the benefits. But unlike Prince Luo, he wasn't as simple-minded as he'd been, rushing in headfirst. Now, he was in a situation where he couldn't help himself, not only losing face but also his life.

Indeed, Zhang Yang also wanted to marry Princess Fuyao, thus forming an alliance with Jing State and gaining Jing State's support to compete with Yuhua State for the gold mine. However, this did not mean that he was willing to fall into other people's traps and make enemies, especially an "innate master" like Chen Xuan. Such a person really angered Bai Wu Jin Ji. King Luo was a living example. No matter who you were, your life and death depended on the other party's thoughts.

On the contrary, the current situation is what Prince Jade welcomes, because once Chen Xuan and Prince Jiang completely fall out, he will be more confident in cooperating with Prince Jiang, thereby increasing his weight in the cooperation and gaining many benefits.

Why not cooperate with Chen Xuan instead? He had never considered this possibility, because no matter how powerful Chen Xuan was, he was just one person and had little significance to their overall plan.

Chen Xuan didn't take him seriously at all. Prince Jiang's heart sank, but he was very shrewd and never showed his emotions on his face. He just put the wine glass down again.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. Prince Jiang was severely humiliated. The eunuch behind him looked at Chen Xuan with an icy gaze and said coldly, "How dare you, Chen Xuan, disrespect your superiors and inferiors. It's an honor for you that the prince greets you with a smile, and you should be grateful. What kind of attitude is that? How can you be so presumptuous? Why don't you apologize quickly before the prince gets angry?"

As the personal eunuch of Prince Jiang, he shares the glory with all of them. If Prince Jiang ascends the throne in the future, there is a great probability that he will sit on the throne of the Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace. How can he not stand up and express his position at this time?
When he came here, Chen Xuan had never thought that he could live in peace with King Jiang. Although he didn't know what plans the little princess had for him, and he had no interest in knowing, this alone made it impossible for the two sides to become the same group.

So at this moment he didn't even look at the eunuch who was eager to show off, but still looked at Prince Jiang. He waved his hand casually, and with a crisp sound, the eunuch with innate cultivation didn't even have time to react. With a look of horror on his face, he was slapped in the air and flew out. When he flew out, a mouthful of teeth mixed with blood spurted out, and he rolled several times before he was able to stabilize his body, and his cheeks were already red and swollen.

Chen Xuan slapped the eunuch without any warning, and everyone present was startled. They were shocked at his strength, and even more surprised at how dare he do that. They were all people of status and strength, so how could they not even put on an act?
They were already surprised to see Chen Xuan easily chop the Jin brothers to death, but now that the eunuch didn't even have time to react, let alone resist, they deeply realized how terrifying Chen Xuan's strength was.

Subconsciously, the several innate masters that Prince Jiang had won over were nervous, fearing that Chen Xuan would suddenly attack Prince Jiang. This was a lawless man with no taboos at all.

Did Chen Xuan hit the eunuch? It was clearly a slap on the face of Prince Jiang. Is there anything he dare not do?

"The master hasn't spoken yet, so how can a servant like you interrupt? It's against the rules." Chen Xuan curled his lips, as if he had swatted a fly away. He still pretended to listen attentively and looked at Prince Jiang to continue the previous topic. "I was settling some personal grudges before. Your Highness has obstructed me for no reason. Please explain the reason."

The eunuch outside had swollen cheeks and looked at Chen Xuan's back expressionlessly, then turned to look at Prince Jiang, ready to take action without hesitation at the command.

The brought King Luo was still sitting at the same table. When Chen Xuan slapped him in the air, his body trembled. This man dared to be so presumptuous in front of King Jiang and King Yu. Could he go back alive today?
After taking a look outside, Prince Jiang waved his hand and said, "Go down and have a rest. You don't need to serve here anymore."

"Yes," the eunuch left respectfully. Being slapped in the face in public was nothing. A eunuch like him who had no descendants had no face to begin with. His master's words were more important than anything else.

Prince Jiang then looked at Chen Xuan and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Chen, there may be some misunderstanding between you and Prince Luo. Why don't you..."

"Why not just let it go for the sake of His Royal Highness Prince Jiang and His Royal Highness Prince Yu? After all, it wasn't him who made the move, and the guards he used to make the move have been killed by me," Chen Xuan said, still looking at Prince Jiang and smiling, saying what the other party wanted to say.

My heart sank. It was obvious that Chen Xuan was not willing to give up and was determined to make a big deal out of it.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Prince Jiang's mind. He suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "Mr. Chen, why bother getting angry? It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Even if Prince Luo was at fault, he wouldn't fight to the death. Besides, you know his identity, Mr. Chen. Once we get to that point, there's no turning back. Please think twice."

"I have already heard this from Mr. Fu. Your Highness Prince Jiang, do you have anything else to say?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Prince Jiang pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't understand what you mean, Master Chen."

You are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth, right? Then I won’t waste my breath on you.

Instead of looking at him, Chen Xuan turned to look at the frightened King Luo and said, "Your Highness King Luo, I know you are of noble status and your life and death are at stake. Do you know why I don't want to let you go?" "My words were too harsh. I hope Mr. Chen don't take it to heart. I will make it up to you later," King Luo said sincerely after thinking carefully with his limited brain.

Not caring that he was still subconsciously acting like a prince at this time, Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Prince Luo, you're overthinking it. I'm actually very easy to talk to. Words are like a spring breeze to me. I won't mind. Even if you keep saying the word 'lowly slave', I don't mind, really."

"I hope Master Chen can give me some advice," said King Luo with a sinking heart.

Smiling, Chen Xuan said, "The reason why the situation has developed to this point is very simple. I can usually not care about anything, but I will never give up. Whoever wants to kill me, I will kill him. There is no ambiguity. This is the first reason. Secondly, I can tell you clearly that if there is anything, you can come to me, whether it is openly or secretly. I don't mind playing with anyone, just to kill time. But if you use the people I care about to make trouble, then you have touched my bottom line. Do you understand?"

"This king... This king doesn't quite understand," King Luo said a little bewilderedly. He really couldn't understand. Chen Xuan said that he didn't care about targeting him, but why did he take the people he cared about so seriously? Are others more important than himself?

Nodding, Chen Xuan said, "Then I'll make you understand. I'm afraid you won't understand if I put it in a more tactful way, so let's keep it simple. Listen carefully. First of all, you shouldn't use my relationship with the little princess to plot against me, even though your so-called calculating dog would shake his head after seeing this. I know that your Rong country is facing a major disaster and wants to marry the little princess to get support, but why don't you try to please the little princess? Why are you targeting me? Do you think you are a junior high school student? You are jealous of others just because you are incompetent? You are like a child, isn't it ridiculous? Then, it is likely that you also learned some information before looking for me. You know that I grew up in the Gao family since I was a child. I have no relatives or friends, and the Gao family has been very kind to me. They have never wronged me and almost treated me as their own child. So that's my home. You actually said that Gao Jingming would be killed without hesitation, and that was under the premise that you had the ability to take action. So have you considered my feelings? Others target me because I am not afraid, but I can't always be with the people I care about, right? Understand?"

After hearing this, King Luo's forehead was sweating and he quickly said: "I think I understand. It was an unintentional mistake. I will pay attention to my words and actions next time."

This is really understood. Chen Xuan nodded and smiled: "It's good that you understand. There will be no next time. Since you understand, then go to die. I never leave hidden dangers for myself. I didn't let you die confusedly. I am very kind."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan pointed his finger at his forehead. As Luo Wang's face changed drastically and he wanted to say something, his expression froze in an instant and he fell backwards. His brain turned into a paste, but there was no visible injury on his face. He exhaled and could not inhale again.

He is a prince after all. Chen Xuan said he would give him a decent and painless package, and he kept his word.

Killing someone in front of others, and that was a prince of a country, especially in front of two other princes, Chen Xuan's purpose was self-evident.

"Mr. Chen, stop and wait."

"No!"

When Chen Xuan made his move, the people around him realized that something was wrong, but he moved too quickly and no one could stop him in time.

Looking at the fallen body of Prince Luo, his expression frozen, Prince Jiang and Prince Yu felt a chill in their necks and a cold sweat on their backs. How dare Chen Xuan do that? Didn't he think about the consequences?
At this moment, the guards of Prince Jiang and Prince Yu subconsciously protected them, fearing that Chen Xuan would attack again.

As if he had done something insignificant, Chen Xuan smiled at the Jade Prince and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Every wrong has its perpetrator. I will treat others the way they treat me. I will not implicate innocent people."

After that, Chen Xuan looked at Prince Jiang, who could no longer hold back his shock, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Your Highness Prince Jiang, this is the second time. I hope there won't be a third time. Whether you can understand me or not, there is a saying that once, twice, but not three times. I hope you remember it."

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "I'm not interested in playing tricks with you. Let me be frank. The reason I still call you His Highness Prince Jiang is not because of your identity, which means nothing to me. It's because you are His Majesty's son and Princess Fuyao's brother. That's all. If not for that, you would be no different from anyone else in my eyes."

"Do you know why I said once, twice, but not three times? This is the second time you've targeted me. Don't tell me you need evidence or something like that. We both know it."

"Then, I originally wanted to talk to you the first time, but you are Princess Fuyao's brother, his blood relative. Later, you calmed down. For Princess Fuyao's sake, it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't bother with you."

"As for this time, it's the second time, and I still won't bother with you, because you are His Majesty's son, and you have His Majesty's blood. For His Majesty's sake, I can be magnanimous and nothing happened. That's it. If there's a next time, I won't give face to anyone. That's all I have to say. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Finally, you have to clean up the mess you made yourself. If you dare to do it, you must have a plan to cover it. I killed the man, and you will clean up the mess. Let me clean up the mess. I think you have seen my style of doing things. Thank you for your hospitality. Let's have a drink."

After saying that, Chen Xuan stood up, raised his glass to King Jiang and drank it all.

This glass of wine was not given because of his status as Prince Jiang, but because he was a relative of the little princess and the emperor. Otherwise, how could a mere prince like him have the right to ask the great Grandmaster Chen Xuan to drink a glass of wine on his own initiative? There are so many princes in the world, who is Zhou Hong... (End of this chapter)
