After asking Jiang Yuyan to leave, Yi An tidied up a little before he stood up and went to the Liu Residence's living room.
At this moment, in the living room.
Liu Zhengfeng was already waiting there.
Apart from them, there was also a handsome young man sitting on the main seat.
He looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. He was dressed in embroidered clothes, and his face was cold. His every move revealed a lofty bearing. It was obvious that he had an extraordinary background.
Beside him were a few guards, all of whom were experts with deep internal strength.
"Young Hero Yi is here! Please, please!"
Liu Zhengfeng saw Yi An come in and immediately went up to him.
At this moment, the young man in embroidered clothes raised his head slightly.
He kept sizing up Yi An.
"Come, come, young hero Yi, let me introduce you. This is the son of King Dingnan. He happened to pass by Hengyang and learned that young hero Yi's martial arts are outstanding, so he came to pay you a visit!”
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and introduced.
Yi An frowned when he heard that.
Prince Dingnan's heir?
Was he the one who used the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to launch a rebellion in the Imperial City?
He did not expect that he would actually appear here.
However, the current heir of Prince Dingnan had not rebelled and was still a hereditary prince of the imperial court. Liu Zhengfeng was not wrong to say that he was an honored guest.
In the original novel, this Prince Dingnan's heir rarely appeared.
However, from his actions, it was not difficult to see that this person was an ambitious person.
Over the years, the heir of King Dingnan had been secretly accumulating strength. Not only the imperial court's military, but he had also roped in experts everywhere in the martial arts world.
This time, he came to the Liu residence and specifically asked to see him.
Yi An thought in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface.
He raised his head and cupped his hands in greeting."So it's the Crown Prince of King Dingnan. Sorry for not welcoming you and making the Crown Prince wait for a long time.”
"Young hero Yi is too polite. I've long heard of the famous Mingjian Manor, but I've never had the chance to see it. Today, he heard that the famous sword inheritor had appeared in Hengyang, so he specially came over to get to know him.”
The heir of King Dingnan said with a smile.
His attitude was quite friendly.
However, he did not stand up from the beginning to the end. He only waved his hand to let Yi An sit down. From this, it could be seen that he still had some arrogance of a noble.
Yi An was unhappy, but he didn't argue with him.
After taking his seat, Liu Zhengfeng, the host, immediately took his leave.
Only Yi An, the son of King Dingnan, and the others were left in the field.
"Young Hero Yi's martial arts are outstanding. You were able to defeat Huashan's Linghu Chong when you first entered the martial world. I like to befriend heroes like you the most. Come, come, come. I'll toast you!”
The Crown Prince of King Dingnan raised his wine cup as he spoke.
Yi An also raised his wine cup, but he didn't drink.
He knew that an ambitious person like Prince Dingnan's son would not have such leisure and elegance. He must have come with a purpose.
She couldn't be bothered to deal with him and said directly,"Your Highness has a noble status and is busy every day. You didn't come all the way here just to say these polite words to me, right? Why don't you tell me what you're here for?"
"Young hero Yi, you're quite straightforward. I like your personality!”
When the Crown Prince of King Dingnan heard this, he chuckled.
Since the other party had made it clear, he did not waste his breath and said directly,"Young hero Yi has extraordinary martial arts. It would be a waste to stay in the martial world. I will inherit the throne in a few days, and the Imperial Residence is in need of manpower. Young Hero Yi, are you willing to work for me?”
"As long as you agree, you will be able to use all your wealth in the future. In the future, if this king is successful, your Mingjian Manor will also shine!”
He did not beat around the bush and directly recruited them.
In the eyes of the Crown Prince of King Dingnan, although Yi An had revealed a certain level of strength, he was after all just a grass barbarian.
Mingjian Peak had long declined and was no longer as prosperous as before.
If he extended an olive branch now, the other party would definitely agree readily.
After all, being able to serve the imperial court and enjoy glory and wealth was better than being in the martial world.
It was the same for the martial arts experts he had subdued in the past.
As long as he knew the benefits, the other party would immediately submit and kneel.
But unfortunately.
Yi An was completely indifferent.
In the past, he might have envied wealth and glory, but now, he was the chosen one, and his future was limitless.
Reaching the peak of martial arts and controlling everything was his goal.
At that time, he could even decide the life and death of the emperor with a single word.
What was the meaning of mortal glory and wealth?
Moreover, this Prince Dingnan's heir was too ambitious. With his little strength, he also wanted to usurp the throne. In the end, he would definitely end up failing.
No matter how stupid Yi An was, he wouldn't be buried with him.
Therefore, Yi An didn't even think about it. He shook his head and said,"Thank you for your attention, Prince. However, I'm focused on martial arts, and I'm used to being undisciplined. I'm afraid I can't stand the restraint and can only let down your good intentions.”
"How dare you! The prince has already given you enough face by coming personally. Don't be so shameless!”
"You ungrateful thing. You dare to reject the prince's invitation?”
Hearing Yi An's rejection, the face of the Crown Prince of King Dingnan instantly sank.
The experts behind him were furious and berated him.
When Yi An heard this, he looked at them coldly.
"If someone wants to be a dog, that's their freedom. I don't have such a preference.”
"You…"
Several experts were so angry that their faces turned ashen. As they spoke, they were about to attack.
However, he was suppressed by the heir of Prince Dingnan.
He stood up and looked at Yi An. There was no joy or anger in his expression."Young hero Yi, are you sure you don't want to reconsider?”
"Thank you for your kind intentions, prince. I have already considered it.”
"Since everyone has their own aspirations, I won't force you. However, since I came here today, there's no reason for me to return empty-handed. How about this, you leave behind the Eight Strokes of the Famous Sword and you can leave.”
The heir of King Dingnan said lightly.
His tone was unquestionable, as if he was giving an order.
He originally had the intention of subduing Yi An, but Yi An did not know what was good for him, so he planned to settle for the next best thing.
If he couldn't get the person, it was good to get this absolute art.
It just so happened that he was going to visit the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Gucheng, in a few days to discuss important matters. When the time came, he would take this Eighth Sword Style as a greeting gift, which would definitely suit Ye Gucheng's taste.
