A Good Romance
.bqg6.cc
Ling Han could have been a trump card for the Third Imperial Prince, but why did he have to use it so soon?
That was because he was in the crucial period of the competition for the throne. The people invited to the banquet today were all outstanding descendants of the mid-level clans of the Imperial City. If he could make them declare their loyalty to him, that would be equivalent to gaining the approval of these clans.
Not to underestimate these clans, the hundreds of mid-level clans added together would also be a considerable force of influence. More importantly, the eight great clans were too aloof. No matter which Imperial Prince ascended to the throne, they would still be the eight great clans, and would not advance or retreat. On the contrary, every Rain Emperor had to coordinate the relationship between the eight great clans. They were the pillars of the nation.
Thus, it was impossible to win over the eight great clans, so the Third Imperial Prince could only focus his attention on the mid-level clans. Why were only thirty or so people here today? That was because the other mid-level clans had already been divided between him, the Eldest Imperial Prince, and the Seventh Imperial Prince. Only these indecisive clans were left.
In the end, no matter which Imperial Prince ascended to the throne, the clans that stood on the wrong side would definitely be ostracized, and it was not impossible for them to dejectedly leave the Imperial City.
Hearing that Ling Han actually had the backing of two great Black Grade high level alchemists, everyone looked shocked.
Too awesome, right?
However, the status of alchemists was aloof, and they would not actively participate in the power struggle. Now that Ling Han and the Third Imperial Prince seemed to be very close, did this mean that the Third Imperial Prince had the support of two great alchemists?
Heavens, that would be incredible. With the support of these two awesome masters, even if the current Rain Country already had a successor for the throne, they would still have to reconsider, lest after the new Emperor ascended to the throne, these two super alchemists would not be cooperative and fight with each other.
In the competition for the throne among the three Imperial Princes, the Third Imperial Prince originally had a higher chance of winning, and now that he suddenly had the support of two great alchemists, he was instantly assured!
Thinking this way, these young people instantly became extremely friendly, and lowered their stance even more.
Originally, although they considered themselves to be subordinates, they still had some pride in their bones, because this was the Third Imperial Prince trying to win them over, but it was different now. After knowing the Third Imperial Prince's "trump card", these people all actively approached him.
They were Black Grade high level alchemists, and any alchemical pills he threw out was enough to make them go crazy.
When the Third Prince saw this, a smile appeared on his face. This was exactly what he had hoped for. The reason why he could not wait to play this card was because the current Rain Emperor had plans to abdicate his throne and focus on studying Martial Art. At most, within five years, a new Emperor would ascend the throne, so he had to make the best use of his time.
"Hahahaha, let's drink!" The Third Prince raised his wine cup. Immediately, everyone raised their cups. When the Third Prince finished his wine, the others naturally did not dare to leave any wine in their cups. They drank it all and only sat down after the Third Prince sat down.
The Third Imperial Prince was very pleased with himself. He was only in the Cherishing Flower Pavilion now, but in the future, in the Imperial Court, there would be even more important figures who would submit to him.
The female attendants who accompanied them to drink poured wine for everyone again. The reason why the prices of the Cherishing Flower Pavilion were so expensive was because these female attendants were not only beautiful, but also had an extremely elegant demeanor. Some of them even had a cultivation level of Poly Tier. To be able to have them accompany them to drink, it would give men a very strong sense of subjugation.
Ling Han was one of the most dazzling stars of the night. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman on either side of him, and both of them had a cultivation level of Poly Tier. One had to know that they were all young girls in their twenties, yet they had already broken through to Poly Tier. Though they were extremely talented in their own right, they had also required a large amount of resources to achieve this.
These two girls had undergone strict training. Their words were gentle, and their movements were light. What was even more remarkable was that they were very good at reading people's expressions. Ling Han only had to glance at them, and they would know which dish Ling Han wanted to eat. They would immediately take the initiative to pick up a dish and place it into Ling Han's mouth.
This kind of ecstasy would definitely cause young people to be unable to control themselves and easily fall into the trap of gentleness. However, what kind of temperament did Ling Han have? He had been surrounded by tens of thousands of flowers, but not a single leaf had touched him.
He was also not restrained, and calmly enjoyed the service of the two girls. However, his eyes were clear and bright, without any hint of impatience. This caused the Third Imperial Prince, who had been paying attention to him, to involuntarily raise his opinion of him by a few notches. He even had the illusion that the one who had arrived was not a sixteen or seventeen year old youth, but a supreme elite who had experienced many hardships and had seen countless grand occasions.
Ling Han had the backing of two Big Bosses of alchemy, so he naturally became the target that everyone tried their best to curry favor with. However, Ling Han had no intention of paying them any heed. He only occasionally spoke a few words with the Third Imperial Prince, Li Hao, and Zhu Xue Yi, and spent most of his time eating.
This was very normal. In his last life, he had been the Alchemy Emperor, so how could he be in the mood to deal with these little fellows who thought highly of themselves?
Towards this kind of arrogance from Ling Han, no one felt that there was anything wrong in the slightest, because alchemists were prideful existences in the first place. If Ling Han did not have this kind of arrogance, it would instead be abnormal.
Seeing that Ling Han was not easy to deal with, they naturally turned their attention to Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi. They earnestly invited them, causing Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi to feel extremely flattered.
Previously, a young master from a small clan had dared to humiliate them, but now, a large number of young masters from mid-level clans were fighting to be friends with them. The two of them could not help but look at Ling Han gratefully. All of this was because of him.
The Third Imperial Prince saw that Ling Han was only drinking and eating, and was not like the others, taking advantage of the opportunity to grope the female attendants by his side. He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ling, are you not satisfied with these two beauties?"
Hearing these words, the two beauties simultaneously revealed aggrieved expressions. They were lovely and moving, and even if he knew that they were only acting, he could not help but feel pity for them.
"Haha, Brother Ling, if you think that they are not gentle enough, why don't you let Zi Yan accompany you?" the Third Imperial Prince suddenly said.
Zi Yan's pretty face instantly changed, and she could not help but tremble. Aggrieved expressions appeared in her eyes. She was no longer acting, but truly felt pain in her heart. She had originally thought that she held an extremely high position in the Third Imperial Prince's heart, but she had never imagined that she was actually a card that could be played.
Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi's hearts thumped rapidly when they heard this. Previously, Zi Yan had been so awe-inspiring, but now, she was going to accompany Ling Han to drink. The contrast was really too great.
Ling Han smiled and said, "Is Miss Zi Yan willing?"
Zi Yan's body trembled again, but she said, "Zi Yan is willing."
Ling Han, however, shook his head and said, "A gentleman does not snatch the good things of others. Miss Zi Yan is the Third Imperial Prince's woman, so it is better for you to accompany the Third Imperial Prince."
Zi Yan immediately revealed a grateful expression. She admittedly did not dare to disobey the Third Imperial Prince's orders, but being able to escape this calamity naturally caused her to have a much better impression of Ling Han, and gained a new understanding of the Third Imperial Prince.
In front of the Imperial Throne, everyone was just a chess piece that he could use. She had blindly followed him, so what kind of ending would she be walking towards in the end?
She appeared to be slightly at a loss.
"Hahahaha, Third Imperial Prince, I have come late. Can you come in for a gathering?" Just at this moment, a clear and bright voice came from outside, but it was filled with a powerful aura.
The Third Imperial Prince's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Feng Yan!"
