Spirit Emperor - C66
“Oh yeah, you said you have a big brother just now, why haven’t I heard you say it before?”
Lee Ting thought for a while, then said: “Actually, this is not some secret, it’s fine if I tell you guys. Back then, my father and my uncle fought over the position of crown prince. The two of them freely developed their respective territories for ten years. At the end of the decade, when my uncle was far behind my father, he set out to assassinate him. The second son of the great General Shang Loong was my royal father’s bodyguard deputy commander at that time, which my uncle bribed, and on the night they executed their assassination plan, my mother gave birth to my big brother. Under those circumstances, my royal father and mother were not willing to escape, and since they could not escape, they sent my big brother away, whose whereabouts were still unknown. Unexpectedly, my grandfather found out about my uncle’s plan to send people to save him, and finally saved my royal mother and father. All those who participated in the assassination were executed, but my brother was never found. Thus, Great General Shang Loong offered his first granddaughter to my royal father, saying that regardless of whether my big brother is alive or not, he is willing to betroth Shang Rongrong to my big brother. Many people knew about the influence of the ‘Incarceration of the Core’ that happened back then. Speaking of which, my missing big brother is also called Lee Xun, that’s why I kept on calling you big brother. ”
At this moment, Lee Xun’s heart was in turmoil. He was already eighty percent convinced that he most likely was that Lee Xun, since such an experience was extremely difficult to replicate. Moreover, he had not even thought about whether or not he would even recognize as his big brother. If Lee Ting knew that he was his big brother, would he make a move against him? After all, it was very likely that he would be a threat to’s position, and Lee Xun suddenly thought of many things.
“No wonder you kept on calling me ‘big brother’. If you really find your big brother, what plans do you have?”
“Of course it’s to welcome him back. Wang Family has its hardships, I usually don’t even have anyone who can speak of my mind. Furthermore, in order to prevent the incident that happened to him from happening again between us brothers, my royal father had long since made me the crown prince. Naturally, I don’t have to worry about him returning to compete with me. ” Lee Ting said without thinking. Lee Xun could also feel that Lee Ting was not lying. With his current strength, it would be difficult for ordinary people to lie in front of him.
“That’s right, it should be so. I have also been at a loss before, and only after meeting Qing and the others did they finally come out of their closed doors. I can somewhat experience your pain.”
The two didn’t speak for too long, but the outcome was decided once again. Zheng Peiyun won the match cleanly.
“Peiyun did a good job.” A few female disciples of Heavenly Academy walked up to welcome him.
The Dongting Sword Sect female disciples standing at the side were also led by Shang Rongrong and were walking towards him.
“Lee Ting, I really never thought that the helpers you invited would be so good. When did your Tianshan Sword Sect become so powerful?” Shang Rongrong said.
“Sister-in-law, the three of them aren’t bad, so you should be at ease now.”
“Who’s your sister-in-law? I haven’t even passed the door, and I already haven’t. Who knows if he’s alive or dead?” Shang Rongrong suddenly said angrily.
“Sister-in-law, I believe my big brother is still alive. Just you wait.” Lee Ting was also angry, and this was the first time Lee Xun saw Lee Ting getting angry.
“I don’t want to waste words with you, let’s go.” Shang Rongrong led her fellow disciples and left angrily.
“Big brother, I’ve let you down, this Shang Rongrong is always thinking of annulling the marriage, and always saying that he is the pride of the heavens. I just want her to understand, that the Shang family must repay us back then.”
Lee Xun heard many meanings from Lee Ting’s words, but the words “I believe my big brother is still alive” really made his heart warm up.
Back at the resting area, Lee Xun found out that the two sides had fought a total of three rounds. Lu Tuan had lost, while He Bao and Zheng Peiyun had both won. At the same time, Lee Xun also found out that Zhang Shuai, Su Mu and the rest had already joined the army, and were heading towards Fringe City. When he was going out, they had come to bid their farewells, but he did not see them. Zhang Shuai and Su Mu’s homes were all at the Pine City, and the Zhang and Su Families were also famous officials’ houses. They had not even stayed at home for a day and had already rushed to the front lines.
Alliance of Five’s diplomatic mission arrived three days later and began negotiations with Pineflower Country. Within the city, there was also a huge arena. Both sides went to fight, but it was just a small fight in the beginning. They were all people of the sixth step and seventh step.
Today, Lee Xun brought Lu Tuan and the other three to a nearby teahouse to drink tea.
“Alliance of Five these bastards, they don’t dare to start a war with us, our Pineflower Country alone. They actually gathered five countries to deal with us, this is so f * cking shameless.” An old man in the teahouse scolded. He looked to be at least sixty years old, but his anger was not small.
“Speaking of which, I can’t hold back my anger anymore. I’ve already sent all three of my sons to join the army. If they all die in battle, then I’ll go too.” Another old man said.
Back then, I lived in Fringe City for ten years and fought against two of the five nations. We were simply no match for them, we can fight as we like.
Lee Xun thought, the political propaganda of Pineflower Country was indeed not bad. If all the things in the teahouse were to be said about blessings and such, then Pineflower Country would not be too far off from a dead nation.
Just as Lee Xun and the rest were drinking their tea, a group of people that they were familiar with arrived. It was Shang Rongrong and the other girls, but there were still five men following behind. The fifteen people were divided into three tables and sat down. The man was around the same table as Shang Rongrong, who was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and possessed the strength of an early stage Tenth Rank.
“Junior Sister, you made me look for you with so much difficulty.” The man said to Shang Rongrong.
“Why are you looking for me?” Shang Rongrong was very impatient.
“Junior Sister, you understand my intentions.”
“Zhou Mingshan, I’ve told you this before. I’ve been engaged since I was young, why are you acting like a fly.” Shang Rongrong’s words caused her fellow disciples to snigger, and the surrounding people who were drinking tea laughed loudly.
Zhou Mingshan’s face turned green, he increased his aura, causing the surrounding people to feel the pressure and keep their mouths shut. Seeing that the people around him had stopped laughing, Zhou Mingshan turned back to a smiling face and said: “Junior Sister, don’t use this as an excuse, your marriage contract is just a joke, do you really want to live a life as a widow for someone who has been dead for more than twenty years? As long as you are willing, I will let my father say a few things, and the king of Pineflower Country can only obediently agree to it. ” Zhou Mingshan purposely raised the pitch of the last sentence.
Some people in the teahouse were guessing where this young man came from, but some people were unhappy.
“Young man, where did you come from? Our king is one of the few good kings, you better respect his words. Be careful of the wind blowing your tongue. ” An old man said, and many people followed suit.
“Have you heard of Dongting Sword Sect? I’m too lazy to waste words with you.” Zhou Mingshan’s arrogant appearance really deserved a beating.
The old man wanted to say something, but his tablemate stopped him. The surrounding people were also silent. Some of them even paid the bill and left. Even Lee Xun saw it in his eyes, it seemed that this super Sword Sect was not simple, even ordinary people knew that their country was not a match for this family, so it was clear how powerful this super Sword Sect was.
“Zhou Mingshan, you better show some respect. This is our Pineflower Country, you look down on our Pineflower Country, you are just looking down on me. Get the hell away from me.” Shang Rongrong’s words were also very rude, but the surrounding people all felt very vented after hearing them.
“Junior Sister, don’t be angry. Before I came, I had already asked my father, and he has already agreed to our marriage. He’s just waiting for you to agree.”
“Are you bored?” When Shang Rongrong saw Lee Xun and the rest, she brought his teacup over and sat down. What a coincidence, we met two days ago. ” Shang Rongrong sat together with Zheng Peiyun and drank from his teacup while facing them. She was facing Lee Xun, but she did not have any influence on Lee Xun, and in her opinion, although Lee Xun’s appearance was not bad, he was an ordinary person. ‘s current strength was not something she could see, but the difference in strength was too great, so she could not feel it, just like how when Lee Xun had just obtained the Earth Rank, he could not see Xiyin’s strength, and when he returned to the Tianshan Sword Sect later on, he could still not see the old man’s true strength, but regarding Baili Feng’s strength, he could already feel that she was stronger than her, but the difference in actual combat ability was completely different.
Lu Tuan and the others returned the greeting, and Zheng Peiyun poured another cup for Shang Rongrong. “At this time, Zhou Mingshan came over to Lee Xun’s side. Brother, do you mind if I borrow a seat? ”
“I don’t mind. Sit.” Lee Xun gave up halfway and started drinking the tea on his own.
Zhou Mingshan’s expression did not change, he thought, why do you have such poor eyesight, forget it, an ordinary person like you might cause trouble, but I really have too much time, so I sat beside Lee Xun.
“This humble one’s, Dongting Sword Sect Zhou Mingshan, is currently my great grandfather.” Zhou Mingshan said casually.
This time, everyone was shocked. No wonder this young man had such an arrogant tone.
“Tianshan Sword Sect, Lu Tuan, from Pineflower Country.” Lu Tuan had a serious face. The other four people also signed up, but only Lee Xun did not speak. Zhou Mingshan had also automatically forgotten about him.
“Hehe, so it’s from Tianshan Sword Sect. I was just saying that he already has the strength of the ninth step in his twenties, not bad. I heard that your Tianshan Sword Sect killed three thousand good-for-nothings. Is that true? ” Zhou Mingshan’s mocking words made everyone very angry.
In his twenties, with a strength at the ninth step, this was definitely considered a genius. To him, this wasn’t bad at all, as if he was a grandmaster. The Southern Sword Sect Alliance had a total of more than twenty Sword Sect. There was no lack of veteran Sword Sect such as the Coiling Dragon and Meng Hei, yet the three thousand elites that were jointly organized had become what he called useless trash. “These words really make one’s stomach explode with anger.
Lu Tuan felt that Zhou Mingshan’s words were really unreasonable. He wanted to flare up, but he was wary of the other party’s identity, not because he couldn’t beat him. He ignored Zhou Mingshan and started drinking tea with him. Shang Rongrong was happy, she did not expect these few disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect to have such backbone. In the past, when people with other Sword Sect heard Zhou Mingshan’s identity, they would mostly fawn over him.
If it was in the past, Lu Tuan and the others might really try to curry favor with Zhou Mingshan, but after that incident, they all felt that Tianshan Sword Sect had the power to fight against the super Sword Sect, and Tianshan Sword Sect could be described as thriving as well. Every day, many people would send their children over to join the Heavenly Mountain Sect. Although he didn’t want to anger Zhou Mingshan, she wasn’t afraid of him or fawn over him.
“Hehe, Junior Sister, is this how you Pineflower Country people treat guests? No one answered a single question. When I talk to a dog, the dog will bark. ”
“You said we’re inferior to dogs?” Lu Tuan was furious. This guy had a fiery temper in the first place, and was also the first Lee Xun he had gone against.
“You said it yourself. I didn’t say it.”
Lu Tuan looked at Lee Xun, and Lee Xun acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to drink her tea, but he made a small movement to restrain himself. Every old set of Sword Sect would have many different insinuations. After hearing Lee Xun’s instructions, Lu Tuan could only stay silent and drink his tea.
Seeing Lu Tuan’s reaction, Zhou Mingshan seemed to be very natural, and said to Shang Rongrong: “Junior Sister, there are too many people here, let’s change places.”
“There’s only one unrelated person here, you can leave.”
“Great! Miss Shang, let’s drink some tea.” Lu Tuan gave Shang Rongrong a toast.
When Zhou Mingshan saw Lu Tuan and Shang Rongrong getting along so harmoniously, he was slightly angry. He raised his teacup and was about to throw it at Lu Tuan, but to his surprise, it splashed onto his own face.
“Aiyo, what’s going on?” Lee Xun and Zhou Mingshan fell down together, and one of their stools had a broken leg.
The people nearby were all amused. No one could tell what was going on. They all thought that it was because the bench was moth-eaten that one of their legs was broken. Only Lu Tuan and the others knew that this must have been done by Lee Xun. Lu Tuan, who was still feeling wronged a moment ago, started to secretly admire Lee Xun.
“What bad luck. Junior Sister, wait for me for a moment. I’ll come right after I change.” Zhou Mingshan left in a hurry, a person like him naturally had to pay attention to his own image.
“Sigh, it hurts. Let’s go.” Lee Xun stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
Lu Tuan and the other three also stood up after hearing Lee Xun’s words, bowing to him before leaving with him. Lee Xun was cold towards Shang Rongrong, maybe this woman was his cheap fiancee, but Lee Xun didn’t want this marriage at all. He had thought that with Qin Qing, it would be enough, as for Xiyin, he himself couldn’t really explain it, but if he said that he didn’t like her, it definitely wasn’t, but if he did like her, he felt that their progress was too fast, and that they still needed more time. He didn’t want to have another one now, and’s temper didn’t seem to be too good either. Compared to Qin Qing, she was far worse.
After Lee Xun and the other four left, Shang Rongrong felt very suspicious. Why did those five people seem to be very respectful to an ordinary person like Lee Xun?
“Everyone, please wait a moment. I would like to treat everyone to a light meal.”
“Lu Tuan, you guys go ahead, I’m done drinking and drinking.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Shang. We still have matters to attend to. Goodbye.” Of course, Lu Tuan could understand what he meant.
Watching Lee Xun and the other three leave, Shang Rongrong was even more suspicious. These people were obviously the ones with Lee Xun as the center, but how could the helpers Lee Ting invited appear in the body of an ordinary person at this time? Could it be that he is much stronger than me? That’s unlikely.
“Senior Sister, it’s fine if they don’t know what’s good for them. Let’s go to Wangsong Restaurant, the food there is really good.”
Shang Rongrong set Lee Xun at the side temporarily and led the group towards Songpu Restaurant.
