This simple announcement caused many people's expressions to change. The first person to change his expression was Mo Jingqi. Although everyone knew that the Northwest and Da Chu State had broken off relations, Mo Jingqi stubbornly refused to admit that it was his failure that forced Prince Ding and the Mohist army to break off relations with the Da Chu State. It was Mo Xiuyao's ambitious rebellion.
Thus, no one cared about what the people thought. However, in the imperial court, the ministers had no choice but to follow the Emperor's preference and call Prince Ding a traitor. Although they felt a chill down their spines when they called him that, who told them to eat the Emperor's rice?
Now that Xu Qingchen had openly used the title of Glass City, it was a heavy slap to Mo Jingqi's face. More importantly, it wasn't just the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army. The Xu family had also been forced out by him. Now that Young Master Qing Chen had appeared here with great fanfare using Mo Xiuyao's name, wasn't he telling the world that the person Mo Jingqi didn't dare to use, Mo Xiuyao dared to use? The Xu family had been hidden away in the Da Chu State, but immediately held great power in the Northwest. Under this comparison, it was obvious who was superior and who was inferior. It would be strange if Mo Jingqi's expression didn't look good.
Then there were Mo Jingli and Lei Tengfeng, as well as a few other young talents with ulterior motives. After all, when Lady Murong was choosing a son-in-law, the man's appearance would definitely have an advantage. Among the people present, there were probably less than two or three who could compare to Young Master Qing Chen in terms of appearance. Everyone could only rejoice that Young Master Qing Chen didn't know martial arts. Otherwise, the Murong family probably wouldn't have needed to compete and would have chosen directly.
As for the other two important figures present, Ling Tiehan and Xu Qingchen did not have any conflict of interest. Moreover, the two of them were quite close, so they nodded at Xu Qingchen as a form of greeting. As for Jhennam Of Gojoseon, although Young Master Qing Chen was famous all over the world, he had never fought with Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Moreover, the two of them were not from the same generation. Among the younger generation, the only one who could make Jhennam Of Gojoseon a worthy opponent was Mo Xiuyao. Therefore, he did not think much of Xu Qingchen.
Xu Qingchen had already trained himself to be indifferent to both honor and disgrace in his youth, so how could he care about such a small scene? Young Master Qing Chen was dressed in white robes as he strolled over. There was a smile on his face that was like pear blossoms in spring. The countless Jianghu heroines present could not help but gasp and blush. Miss Murong, who was standing beside Lord Murong, couldn't help but stare blankly. She thought highly of herself and had seen a lot of talented people these days. However, she had never seen Young Master Qing Chen's celestial demeanor. At this time, Miss Murong did not remember what her grandfather and granduncle had told her. Her heart was beating wildly.
"Everyone, please forgive me for being late." Xu Qingchen cupped his hands and smiled.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon laughed loudly and said, "Young Master Qing Chen is too polite. Please sit. I wonder if Prince Ding and Princess Consort can come? "Xu Qingchen said calmly," Thank you for your concern, Prince Ding and Princess Consort are busy with worldly affairs and have no time to spare. Therefore, they could only let an idle person like me come to join in the fun. I hope everyone will not mind. " Everyone present was polite. Everyone present was an influential person from various countries. Naturally, they knew that this celestial man in front of them was not an idle person. Although Mo Xiuyao's civil officials did not have a clear position, everyone knew that Young Master Qing Chen's power in the Northwest was not inferior to a country's prime minister.
"Humph!" The guests present were extremely polite. As the host, Master Murong's face was not very good. The Murong family and the Xu family could be said to be the two oldest families that had been passed down for generations. However, although Murong family was the richest in the world, they had always had a knot in their hearts towards Xu family.
There was no other reason. Xu family was a family of scholars. For generations, great scholars and famous ministers came out in large numbers. Their name resounded throughout the world and was revered by tens of thousands of people. However, because Murong family was a merchant family, they could not even enter the imperial court. Once they became rich enough to rival a country, they had to endure all kinds of attacks from the royal family, both overt and covert. No one would believe that the royal family of West-Hill did not contribute to the decline of the Murong family until now. Although the Xu Family and the Murong Family were both suppressed by the Imperial Family, even if the Xu Family were to fall one day, they would still be able to leave their name in history. After all, if the Xu Family's contributions to the Imperial Family were to be completely erased, then the historical records would have to be rewritten.
As for Murong family, once they were destroyed, who would remember them? What's more, Xu family had found a powerful nephew in law. They also had Fifth Brother's son who had extraordinary ability. Once Prince Ding's power stabilized in the future, Xu family would clearly rise again, even more than before. On the other hand, Murong family was so poor that they only had money left. How could people not sigh?
This light snort shook the hearts of everyone present. Xu Qingchen's expression changed slightly. In fact, he did not feel it too deeply. However, when he saw the reaction of Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Ling Tiehan, he understood that the light snort was not that simple. Xu Qingchen turned to look at Murong Xiong, who was sitting at the head of the table. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Murong, this junior has been rude. Please forgive me. "
Murong Xiong's snort contained a special kind of internal energy. It was only effective against people who also had internal energy. The deeper the internal energy, the more powerful it was. Unfortunately, he had retired from Jianghu for too long. He had never considered the possibility that Xu Qingchen did not know martial arts. Moreover, Xu Qingchen's bearing was outstanding. His elegance was restrained. Even when interacting with experts like Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Ling Tiehan, he did not retreat in the slightest. Murong Xiong only became more and more convinced that Xu Qingchen used some kind of special method to conceal his martial arts. Jianghu originally had such a method. At this time, seeing that Xu Qingchen's expression did not change, his expression could not help but become more serious.
"Why didn't Prince Ding come?" Murong Xiong asked in a deep voice. His tone was somewhat tyrannical. Immediately, many people present felt displeased. For example, Jhennam Of Gojoseon and the others all wished that they could be born with a seven orifices heart. They thought ten times more than ordinary people. Although most of them did not see eye to eye with Mo Xiuyao, Mo Xiuyao's ability and status at least made them accept him wholeheartedly. This old man spoke in such a tone, full of arrogance and bossiness. Not only did he not put Mo Xiuyao in his eyes, but he also did not put them in his eyes. Jhennam Of Gojoseon's expression did not change. His gaze indifferently swept past Ling Tiehan, Mo Jingli and the others. His eyes were slightly cold. This old man did not think that after not appearing for a few decades, everyone in the world would listen to him now that he had come out of seclusion? Stupid!
Xu Qingchen was not angry. The smile on his face did not decrease at all. He calmly said, "Prince Ding and the Princess are tied up with business and have no time to attend this year's martial arts convention. I have already apologized to Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Pavilion Master Ling on behalf of Prince Ding. The two of you do not mind. "With Mo Xiuyao's martial arts and status, only Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Ling Tiehan could fight with him.
If it was only the martial arts convention, if the two of them did not mind, then naturally no one had the right to say anything. Moreover, participation in the martial arts convention was voluntary. If Prince Ding did not want to come, then no one could stop him.
However, Murong Xiong was not satisfied with this result. He said in a low voice, "This old man sent an invitation to Prince Ding. Why did he not come?"
Xu Qingchen slightly frowned. His gaze swept over Miss Murong, who was standing next to Master Murong. He did not immediately answer Murong Xiong's question. Instead, he turned around and walked to the empty seat next to Ling Tiehan and sat down. Seeing that Murong Xiong was about to explode in anger, he slowly said, "Our Prince said that he has no interest in anything other than the martial arts convention."
