Zhao Ce and Chen Zhibao were secretly competing with each other, causing the others to not even dare to make a sound. They were all as quiet as cicadas in winter.
After a while.
Zhao Ce and Chen Zhibao, who had failed to gain the upper hand, withdrew their auras.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the atmosphere was still very subtle.
Although Zhao Ce and Chen Zhibao had dispersed their auras, the two of them seemed to dislike each other and ignored each other.
Zhao Ce ignored Chen Zhibao and picked up his cup to drink.
As for Chen Zhibao, his eyes flickered as he stared at Zhao Ce.
The two of them did not say anything, and the others did not dare to say anything either.
At this moment, Chen Zhibao had many questions in his heart.
He had thought that Zhao Ce would be like what the intelligence reports said, a useless prince who was not good at literature or martial arts.
He had thought that this was the first time they had met, and that he would be able to scare Zhao Ce so badly that he would pee his pants and show off his ugly side.
However, he never expected that not only did Zhao Ce not make a fool of himself, but he was also able to match him in terms of power and aura.
"Although he didn't attack directly, I can tell that this Zhao Ce is a martial arts practitioner, and his strength isn't weak.”
"Not only that, but he also has an extraordinary aura. In terms of aura, he can compete with me, a veteran who has been through many battles.”
"No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a good-for-nothing.”
"From the looks of it, either the information is fake, or this guy has hidden himself and deceived the others.”
With just this little interaction, Chen Zhibao's view of Zhao Ce had changed a lot.
He no longer looked down on Zhao Ce. He felt that Zhao Ce was not simple and had to be treated seriously.
However, even though his opinion of Zhao Ce had changed, Chen Zhibao was still very unhappy with Zhao Ce because of Xu Weixiong. He even viewed Zhao Ce as an enemy.
Chen Zhibao didn't want to give Zhao Ce any face. He said in a neutral tone,""Who is Zhao Ce?"
Chen Zhibao clearly recognized Zhao Ce, but he pretended not to.
Zhao Ce could see through Chen Zhibao's little trick at a glance.
Zhao Ce wasn't a good person. Since Chen Zhibao didn't give him face, he naturally wouldn't spoil him.
Zhao Ce gave Chen Zhibao a sidelong glance and said,"Are you blind or do you not have eyes?”
"This king is sitting here, can't you see?”
Chen Zhibao could hear the mockery in Zhao Ce's words. He was unhappy about this, but he held back his anger.
Chen Zhibao narrowed his eyes and sat on his horse. He cupped his hands and said,"Chen Zhibao greets your highness."
Zhao Ce suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Zhibao. He said in a dignified manner,"What's wrong? Does this king have the qualifications to make you, Chen Zhibao, dismount and pay respects?”
Zhao Ce had never put on the airs of a prince, and could be said to be approachable.
But at this moment, he was deliberately putting on airs, wanting to suppress Chen Zhibao!
Chen Zhibao frowned when he saw Zhao Ce's obvious bullying attitude. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As a general in the Northern Liang army whose prestige was second only to Xu Xiao, Chen Zhibao was very arrogant. He was not willing to get off his horse and pay his respects to Zhao Ce.
However, Zhao Ce was still the Emperor himself, and his status was higher than Chen Zhibao's.
Zhao Ce had a legitimate reason to ask him to do this, so he could not refuse!
For Chen Zhibao to be able to become the second most powerful person in the Northern Liang Army, he was naturally not an ordinary person.
Chen Zhibao hesitated for a moment before getting off the horse.
Facing Zhao Ce, Chen Zhibao knelt down on one knee and said loudly,"I, Chen Zhibao, pay my respects to King Lan Ling!”
Looking at Chen Zhibao kneeling in front of him, Zhao Ce's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Since you're trying to show me your might, then I'll return the favor and teach you a lesson!
Zhao Ce didn't let Chen Zhibao get up. Instead, he let him continue kneeling.
Zhao Ce asked in an unhappy tone,"Chen Zhibao, you've mobilized so many people and are so aggressive. Are you here to capture or kill?”
Chen Zhibao suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice,"This lowly one has followed the Great General's orders to welcome Your Highness.”
"Oh, so you're here to welcome this king.”
"I thought you were going to harm me and almost peed my pants." Zhao Ce laughed.”
"I dare not," said Chen Zhibao.”
Zhao Ce knew that Chen Zhibao was lying, so he smiled coldly.
"Forget it, this king is magnanimous and won't lower himself to your level.”
Zhao Ce knew when to stop, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Zhibao, so he gave up.
Zhao Ce then ordered in an unquestionable tone,"Chen Zhibao, lead the way and lead this king into the city.”
"This general will obey!"
Chen Zhibao replied and stood up.
He mounted his horse and regained his majestic appearance.
"Return to the city!"
Chen Zhibao seemed to be angry with Zhao Ce. Without waiting for Zhao Ce and the others to pack up, he waved his hand and led the rest of the cavalry back to the city.
"Why is this Chen Zhibao acting like a child?”
Zhao Ce knew that Chen Zhibao loved Xu Weixiong.
Because Xu Weixiong married him, Chen Zhibao was very unhappy with him.
Zhao Ce didn't take Chen Zhibao's antics to heart.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Ce said to Sweet Potato and the others before boarding the carriage.
The four women mounted their horses and entered the city together.
With Chen Zhibao leading the 18 riders in front, Zhao Ce and the others entered Liangzhou City without any obstructions.
"Your Highness, I'll go down first."
Pei Nan? Wei did not have the courage to go to the Prince of Beiliang's Mansion, so she bid farewell to Zhao Ce as soon as she entered the city.
"Green bird, stop."
After getting Qing Niao to stop the carriage, Zhao Ce said to Pei Nanwei,""You can go!"
"Thank you for your care, Your Highness."
Pei Nanwei bowed deeply to Zhao Ce before getting off the carriage.
After that, Pei Nanwei watched Zhao Ce and the others leave before looking for a place to settle down.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Zhao Ce and the others arrived at the entrance of the Prince of Beiliang's residence.
As soon as Zhao Ce got off the carriage, the system notification sounded in his mind.
Ding!
The system has detected that the host has signed in to the Prince of Beiliang's Mansion. The system has issued a reward!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining one year of cultivation!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Nine Thousand Iron Pagoda!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the First Sword Immortal Kneel!
Along with the system's voice, Zhao Ce's martial strength suddenly rose, jumping from initial Master Realm to peak Master Realm. He was just one step away from reaching Profound Finger Realm.
At the same time, the information regarding the peerless sword move, One Sword Immortal Kneeling, also entered Zhao Ce's mind.
"The sign-in reward this time is not bad either.”
"I wonder if the nine thousand iron pagodas I just obtained can crush the six thousand iron pagodas led by Chen Zhibao?”
Looking at Chen Zhibao in front of him, Zhao Ce couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The system immediately gave the answer.
Of course, he could crush them!
Zhao Ce smiled happily.
