"Speak!"
Ying Hong's sudden appearance caused the ministers to sigh in their hearts. They all turned their eyes to Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, waiting for his reaction.
Ying Zheng did not make them wait any longer. His expression remained unchanged as he opened his mouth and spat out a single word.
He wasn't angry as he had expected, and he wasn't as happy as he was when he received Ying Hong's gift.
It was as if Ying Hong's intervention and his non-intervention made no difference to Ying Zheng.
As for what exactly Ying Zheng was thinking, no one present knew.
......
"Isn't this all for nothing?"
After Ying Zheng agreed, Ying Hong stood up from his seat and walked towards the center while thinking helplessly.
He knew that his current behavior would very likely arouse Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction.
However, if he didn't do this now, he might not be able to obtain the three new fated items given by the system in a short period of time.
Even if Ying Hong chose the Crown Prince and the Moon Goddess, he would still need to take his time.
Thus, the Abyss Rainbow Sword in Ge Nia's hand was the best choice to quickly obtain rewards.
However, according to Ying Hong's knowledge, Ge Nie would flee from Xianyang after his cheap father Ying Zheng's birthday celebration to look for the son of an old friend.
By then, it would be too difficult for Ying Hong to get the Yuanhong sword from him.
Therefore, this was definitely his best opportunity.
"Imperial Father, your son had just sat down when I suddenly felt something that was fated with your son.”
Ying Hong didn't choose to announce that Ge Nie was about to defect.
The title of Sword Saint wasn't just for show.
If a sword path expert at the integration of Heaven and man realm wanted to leave, no one in the entire imperial palace could stop him.
Of course, just because one person couldn't do it didn't mean that hundreds or thousands of people couldn't.
If he was prepared, Ge Nia might really be left in the palace.
However, in response, there were a large number of casualties.
What if Ying Hong told Ying Zheng the prophecy that Ge Nia would defect after the banquet?
Let alone whether Ying Zheng believed it or not, even if he did, it would be a fool's dream to form an encirclement right under Ge Nia's nose.
The perception of a martial arts expert at the integration of Heaven and man realm towards the outside world had already reached the thoroughly meticulous level.
Ying Hong didn't think that this plan would succeed.
Moreover, the birthday ceremony would be ruined and the palace would suffer heavy casualties. The price was too great.
Therefore, Ying Hong chose the other option, which was to let Ge Nia go in the future.
However, he could leave, but the Abyss Rainbow Sword had to stay!
.....
As soon as Ying Hong finished his righteous words, everyone, including Ying Zheng, Li Si, Meng Tian, Fu Su, and the others, who were sitting in the main seat, were shocked.
Zhao Gao and Ge Nia, who were standing beside Ying Zheng, had their eyelids twitching.
He still remembered that the last time Ying Hong mentioned the word 'fated', the Tianwen sword had already changed hands.
This time, when Ying Hong mentioned it again, they immediately understood that Ying Hong had his eyes on something else!
"What is it?"
Ying Zheng subconsciously glanced at Ying Hong's waist and asked in a bland tone.
"This item is related to Mister Ge Nia.”
After Ying Zheng finished asking the question, Ying Hong's gaze swept across the crowd and finally stopped at Ge Nia.
Following his gaze, everyone else at the banquet also turned to look at Ge Nia.
Ge Nia, who had always seemed to be outside of the banquet, instantly became the center of attention.
"Does Gongzi Hong like Ge Nia's Yuanhong?”
Under everyone's gaze, Ge Nia's ethereal aura didn't change at all. He stared at Ying Hong with his pair of sword eyes, then took out the Deep Rainbow Sword from his waist.
When Ying Hong mentioned the word 'fated,' he, who had been paying attention to Ying Hong, had a vague premonition.
The first item that Gong Zi Hong said was fated with him was the Tianwen sword, which was ranked first in the sword manual.
Then, when Ying Hong mentioned the word 'fated' again, the Abyss Rainbow Sword, which was ranked second in the sword manual, seemed to be the most logical one.
Unlike the others, Ge Nia had been paying attention to Ying Hong, so he had noticed that the Tianwen sword, which Ying Hong was supposed to carry with him at all times, had disappeared.
Therefore, when Ying Hong looked at him, he knew that Ying Hong had his eyes on Yuan Hong!
"No, no, no, Mister Ge Nia must be joking.
I really feel that Mister Ge Nia's Abyss Rainbow Sword is fated with me, so why would I take a fancy to it?”
Ying Hong shook his head and denied Ge Nia's question.
"Besides, Mister Ge Nia's Abyss Rainbow Sword is ranked second in the sword manual. It's a famous sword that many sword practitioners dream of.”
Ying Hong would never admit that he wanted Yuan Hong.
If that was the case, what was the difference between this and daylight robbery?
This was not the demeanor of the Great Qin's young master!
Therefore, Ying Hong insisted that, just like how he had asked Ying Zheng for the Tianwen Sword, the reason why he had said that was because he had sensed that Yuan Hong was fated with him.
"Oh?
May I ask where Young Master's fate comes from?"
Ge Nia obviously didn't believe what Ying Hong said.
Although the Tianwen Sword was obtained by Ying Hong in this way, he was not Ying Zheng, so he did not need to think too much about it, nor did he need to plan anything around the Yuanhong Sword.
After Ying Hong shook his head and denied the first question, Ge Nie asked the second question.
You said that you and Yuan Hong are fated?
Alright then, tell me where and why you're fated.
"Hehe, fate is fate. There's no reason.
However, for Mister Ge Nia's sake, this young master will tell you.”
Ge Nie wouldn't hand Yuan Hong over so easily, and Ying Hong wanted to get his hands on him.
He waved his sleeves and no longer stayed where he was. Instead, he walked toward Ge Nia until he stood beside him.
"You go, the sword stays! If the sword leaves, you have to stay!"
