Silence.
A deathly silence.
At this moment, Prince Xin's expression was like he had seen a ghost.
The way he looked at Ling Chen also became filled with shock, disbelief, and a hint of…fear!
Yes, he felt fear!
From the moment he started to show his "sincerity" until now, Ling Chen had only said two short sentences. However, these two sentences were like invisible swords, mercilessly stabbing into his heart!
All his pride, confidence, and dignity were crushed!
Completely gone!
"Has the Jinyiwei's intelligence ability reached such a terrifying level?!”
In his unprecedented shock, even someone as shrewd as Prince Xin fell into a dazed state. At the same time, Ding Baiying, who was behind him, stared coldly at Ling Chen, but she couldn't help but look shocked.
As for Zhou Miaodan and Miao Xuan, they were stunned.
On the other hand, although Lu Wenzhao's face was a little pale, he wasn't too surprised. Instead, he revealed a look of despair.
" If the Four Beauties of Green City hadn't gone to Egret Medical Hall before this…"
Ling Chen didn't even look at the silver notes, pills, and title deed on the table. His eyes were like knives, cold and sharp, and he didn't even try to hide the cold smile on his face."Your conditions are still a little attractive.”
"Haha…"
Prince Xin's face turned pale, but he suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and smiled embarrassedly.""Lord Ling has misunderstood. This Prince only sent people to investigate Lord Ling's background. This matter has been done by many people in the capital recently. As for the Four Prodigies of Qingcheng and Yu Renyan going to the White Heron Medical Hall, it really wasn't at this Prince's behest!”
When he said this, a trace of grievance appeared on his face.
It seemed that the matter of the Four Prodigies of Green City really had nothing to do with him.
However, Ling Chen was not surprised at all.
"If you want to succeed, you'll recruit martial arts experts to work for you. But the Qingcheng Sword Sect is incapable of accomplishing anything and is good at ruining things. However, there was nothing you could do because you simply could not control them!”
His eyes gradually revealed a fierce and domineering aura, and his voice was sonorous and resounding." Just like at this moment, you wanted to rope me in. You thought that no one could reject the conditions you offered, but you were worried, so you arranged a large number of assassins outside..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Wenzhao again." Lu Wenzhao is your confidant, and you trust him very much. But when he listened to my orders just now, your eyes revealed suspicion and killing intent-"
Lu Wenzhao's body trembled and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Ling Chen didn't pause, and spoke faster and faster,"You want to achieve great things, but you're always suspicious. With someone like you, you still want to rope me in? You still want to rebel?"
"I'll ask you one thing, where did you get your confidence from?”
"Just because you're a prince?"
"What a joke!"
Without a doubt, the damage that these few short sentences caused to Prince Xin was indescribable.
As the prince of Great Ming, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!
Every time Ling Chen spoke, his expression became uglier.
In the end, his face was completely red, and the veins on his face were popping. He looked at Ling Chen with a vicious, ruthless, and cold gaze, as if he wanted to tear Ling Chen into pieces!
If Ling Chen rejected his offer, he wouldn't be so angry.
However, Ling Chen's reason for refusing wasn't because his offer wasn't good enough, but rather-
He was not worthy!
This made him, the dignified Prince Da Ming Xin, feel an unprecedented humiliation!!
This humiliation slowly turned into anger and killing intent!!
"This king thinks highly of you. Do you want to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit?!”
A hoarse voice came out of his mouth. At this moment, his expression was as ferocious as a ghost."Do you believe that with just one word from this king, you can forget about walking out of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion today?!”
As he spoke, Ding Baiying's right hand finally grasped the hilt of the Luoying Saber. She pulled it out slightly.
At the same time, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Black shadows appeared like ghosts. Each of them held a weapon and emitted a cold killing intent.
They were so densely packed that they seemed to fill the entire Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
Immediately after, a few figures flew into the room, scattering and blocking off all of Ling Chen's escape routes.
The person in the lead held a longsword and had a deep aura. His appearance was similar to Yu Renyan, but he was much older. He looked at Ling Chen with killing intent in his eyes. It was clear that he was Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
"Have you seen the picture?"
Ling Chen smiled.
Faced with the aura of the experts, he had no intention of getting up. Instead, he sighed softly."With just these clay chickens and clay dogs, does Prince Xin have the confidence to keep this Ling?”
"Humph!"
Prince Xin snorted coldly. Before he could speak, Yu Canghai sneered,""The tea that you drank has been mixed with the secret formula of our Qingcheng Monastery, the Power Dissipating Powder. Don't even think about using your internal energy within two hours!”
"I've long heard that Lord Ling's saber technique is very high. Yan Peiwei of the Jindao Sect would like to see it!”
Another old man with a large blade in his hand said with a sharp gaze.
Behind him, there was a similar looking young swordsman, as well as a group of martial artists holding various weapons…but the only one that caught Ling Chen's eye was an old man with white hair and a beard, holding a golden blade.
"I am Wang Yuanba from the Golden Blade Sect. Greetings, Lord Ling!”
The old man's gaze was cold as he stared at Ling Chen.
"This king will give you one last chance. Submit to this king and accomplish great things with this king. In the future, your glory and wealth will be limitless. Otherwise…don't blame this king for being impolite!”
As Prince Xin spoke, his cold gaze landed on Lu Wenzhao.
Lu Wenzhao's body trembled slightly, and a look of struggle appeared in his eyes.
Ding Baiying was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.""Senior Brother, are you not going to listen to His Lord's orders? Are you that afraid of this person? No matter how terrifying he is, can he defeat so many of us by himself?!”
Zhou Miaodan was stunned.
Her eyes flashed, and she subconsciously walked behind Ling Chen…of all the people present, only Ling Chen's calm and composed appearance gave her a feeling that he wasn't that scary.
But it was obvious that she was wrong.
Ling Chen was the scariest person here!
"The reason why he hesitated is because he is a smart person!”
Under everyone's extremely vigilant gaze, he gently pulled out the Embroidered Spring Saber with his right hand and looked at Lu Wenzhao with a smile."The weather is good tonight, suitable for killing…"
"Lu Wenzhao, you only have one chance. Draw your saber!”
The casual voice spread. Lu Wenzhao, who had been struggling and hesitating, was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he subconsciously drew his saber out of its sheath!
His entire body trembled, and sweat flowed down his face. However, he did not raise his saber at Ling Chen. Instead, he held the saber in his hand against Ding Baiying's hilt.
"Your Highness, I've already advised you not to do this!!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this roar.
