Feng Ling's smile had already disappeared. Ye Wuchen's words had undoubtedly stabbed him in the heart. All sorts of emotions and frustrations surged in his heart, and he had mixed feelings. He had tricked Ye Wuchen ruthlessly and cheated him of more than three hundred million taels of silver, but he couldn't feel happy at this moment. He didn't even feel a sense of accomplishment. On the contrary, he actually felt that he was jealous … He was her younger brother, but he could sit beside her, be looked at by her, and wipe away her tears …
And … that vague feeling gradually turned into a faint voice that told him that the subtle atmosphere of intertwining emotions between Ye Wuchen and Ye Shuiyao didn't seem to be as simple as brother-sister love.
"Hahahaha!" Ximen Qing also responded with a laugh. "With such a temperament, Ye Gongzi is truly a person with the most sincere feelings in the world. That's right, eternal love can't be measured with mere money. What Ye Gongzi wants is not this West Sea Crimson Blue Jade, but a kind heart. If we talk about money, it would really be a disgrace and vulgar to Ye Gongzi's heart. Then, I will boldly make the decision and give this West Sea Crimson Blue Jade to Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye! Let it be the witness of the 'love' between the two of you! "
Once these words were said, everyone was shocked.
Give!?
That was thirty-one million and one taels of silver, a huge amount of wealth that could almost buy the entire Ximen family!!
"Everyone, listen to me first, it won't be too late to discuss later!" Ximen Qing waved his hand, suppressing the uproar in the crowd, and said slowly, "I am not impulsive to give this West Sea Crimson Blue Jade to Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye. First, a beautiful jade should be matched with a beautiful woman. Miss Ye has the beauty of a celestial being, and the only West Sea Crimson Blue Jade in the world to accompany Miss Ye is really perfect. Three years ago, in order to protect the peace of our Tenryū Province for three years, Miss Ye didn't hesitate to destroy her own happiness and marry into Dafeng Nation. Such noble character and unquestionable integrity are admired by the whole world. I am extremely honored to finally be able to see it today. Secondly, the Yeh family has been loyal for generations, protecting our Tenryū Province with courage and might. If there were no Yeh family in Tenryū Province, they would have long changed their surnames! As a citizen of Sky Dragon, it could be said that everyone owed the Yeh family. A mere piece of Western Ocean Crimson Blue Jade could hardly repay the Yeh family's efforts. Thirdly, Ye Gongzi had done something shocking for Miss Ye in a fit of anger. Even now, the legend of that year was still spreading everywhere. Who could deny this love, and who had the right to deny it? Fourthly, at this time, our Tenryū Province is resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and the Yeh family is still the first to be attacked. Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye are both members of the Yeh family. Our Ximen clan has always sighed that we can't fight the enemy, so how can we take a penny from the Yeh family? Otherwise, our Ximen clan from top to bottom would be in vain as a citizen of Tenryū Province. Fifthly, I and Ye Gongzi felt like old friends at first sight and deeply admired each other. I regretted not meeting him earlier, but I always regretted not being able to deepen our friendship. "He smiled slightly and said calmly:" If I can become Ye Gongzi's friend because of this jade, then I, Ximen Qing, will have picked up a huge bargain. "
"If that's the case, is there anyone else who feels that it is inappropriate for me to give this Western Ocean Crimson Blue Jade to Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye?" Ximen Qing's gaze swept across and said with a faint smile.
The atmosphere immediately quieted down, and everyone was silently pondering over Ximen Qing's words. Every word he said was reasonable, and there wasn't a single exaggeration or distortion. Moreover, he spoke with sincerity and incomparable calmness. And when all these things he said were put together, it actually made people feel that giving this Western Ocean Crimson Blue Jade to the Yeh family couldn't be any more appropriate. Just like that, that feeling of inconceivability just a moment ago completely disappeared.
Involuntarily, they began to marvel at Ximen Qing's thoughts and ability. Not only did he turn a shocking matter into an ordinary matter with just a few words, but in this way, it seemed like the Ximen clan had lost 31,001 taels of silver, but in reality … even if this didn't happen, would the Yeh family really take out 31,001 taels of silver? Even if they could, at this crucial time of the war, would the Ximen clan dare to accept it? And now, Ximen Qing gave up this 31,001 taels of silver that he basically couldn't get his hands on, and instead gave the Yeh family a huge favor. After this matter spread, the Ximen clan's reputation and reputation would definitely increase greatly. Money was easy to return, but a favor was hard to return. After thinking about it carefully, the Ximen clan actually gained a huge advantage.
Ximen Qing would definitely become a hero in the future!
Feng Ling's expression became more and more unsightly. Ximen Qing didn't mention him in any of his words, but every word he said was from the standpoint of Tenryū Province, and he practically praised the Yeh family to the heavens … And he, as the prince of Dafeng Country, forced Ye Shuiyao to marry into Dafeng Country, and was also the prince of the enemy army that invaded Tenryū Province, his words were filled with coldness and rejection towards him. When he mentioned Ye Shuiyao, it sounded like he was mocking and ridiculing him. On the other hand, Ximen Qing had given the West Sea Blue Crimson Jade to Ye Wuchen and Ye Shuiyao, making his scheme against Ye Wuchen go down the drain. Now that he thought about it, he, who wanted to bid for the West Sea Blue Jade and give it to Ye Shuiyao, was like a clown going through the motions.
Feng Ling let out a long sigh and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Ye Wuchen … Ha, so he predicted this situation from the beginning, that's why he was so unscrupulous. I thought I finally made a fool out of him, but I didn't expect …"
Facing Ye Wuchen again after three years, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness and defeat.
The attendant beside him was silent.
"In that case, Wuchen won't be unreasonable. Wuchen will remember Brother Ximen's gift." In the face of such a big gift, Ye Wuchen didn't even have the slightest intention of declining and accepted it indifferently. He paused and raised his hand, saying, "Brother Ximen, Wuchen's body is weak and I'm tired now. I need to leave first, I hope Brother Ximen won't take offense."
Ximen Qing hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't say that … Ling Yun and Ling Lu, quickly help Ye Gongzi back to the backyard to rest."
The two servants of the Ximen family who had been waiting at the side of the stage came forward and helped Ye Wuchen to the wheelchair. Ye Wuchen nodded to Ximen Qing and left with Ye Shuiyao and Ningxue in front of everyone. The moment he walked out of the hall, the corners of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile.
"Let's go too." Ye Shuiyao's figure disappeared from his sight. Feng Ling sighed and got up.
"But Crown Prince, we're here to see who the treasure map belongs to, what if …" The person behind him hurriedly reminded him.
"Is it important?" Feng Ling shook his head dispiritedly and walked towards the back door of the hall with a dejected expression.
Is it important? She clearly knew that he was there, but Ye Shuiyao's gaze never stopped on him, not even for a short moment. She didn't even look in his direction, as if she didn't care whether he was there or not. Her gaze almost always stopped on Ye Wuchen … After such a blow, he didn't have any thoughts of doing anything else. There was only sadness and loneliness in his heart.
The auction of the Western Sea Blue Jade had been full of twists and turns. The process was unexpected, and the result was unexpected. Ximen Qing clapped his hands and another jade plate was placed on the table. This time, the person carrying the jade plate wasn't Pan Jinlian, but two strong men. From their heavy footsteps, the item on the plate was surprisingly heavy. It was different from the previous two small jade plates. This time, the jade plate was much larger and longer.
"Friends, this is the third treasure. The value of this treasure is, of course, far greater than the first and second treasures." Ximen Qing said loudly. He didn't hurry to remove the cloth on the plate. Instead, he said slowly, "In this world, other than the forbidden weapons that once only existed in legends, the Sword Of Emperor Nan, the Star Slashing Sword, and the Northern Emperor's Bow of Calamity, there are a total of seven Divine Weapons in the Tianchen Continent. Among these seven Divine Weapons, three are recognized as the strongest. The first is the Sword of Azure Sea, which has been passed down for thousands of years by the Sword God. The second is the Wind Blade, which can take a person's life from a thousand meters away. The third is the Sword of Snow Princess, which contains the powerful power of ice. But do any friends know that three hundred years ago, there was a sword that was as famous as the Sword of Azure Sea? "
Three hundred years ago, a sword that was as famous as the Sword of Azure Sea?
Everyone looked at each other. Although there were still records of the sword from three hundred years ago, it had long been neglected and forgotten. However, a clear voice immediately sounded out, "Are you talking about the Sword of the Heavens?!"
Ximen Qing looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person who had spoken was a handsome young man who didn't seem to be in his twenties. His slightly raised eyebrows showed that he was arrogant and unruly. His appearance and temperament revealed that he had an extraordinary identity. The fact that he had mentioned the Sword of the Heavens showed that he was not ordinary.
"Friend, since you know about the Sword of the Heavens, do you know about its origin?" Ximen Qing asked with a smile as he recalled the man's identity.
Shui Wu Que, the Young Master of Nanhuangzong!
Shui Wu Que sat there in a lazy posture and said indifferently, "Three hundred years ago, a person who called himself the" Sword Demon "appeared in the land of the Sky Dragon Nation. His cultivation in the Way of the Sword was extremely high, and the sword in his hand was the Pointing Heavenly Sword. This man's actions were both good and evil. Sometimes he was good, sometimes he was evil. In just a few years, the name of him and the Sword of the Heavens spread throughout the continent. Later on, he and the Sword God of that time, Chu Xiaohe, had a life and death battle at Fengyuan Mountain. In the end, he was defeated by the Sword God and disappeared along with his Sword of the Heavens. It is unknown whether he is dead or alive. "
Shui Wu Que stood up with a strange smile on his face, "Heh, the title of Sword Demon is only because he wants to surpass Sword God. His real name, if I remember correctly, is Ye Du Shang, and his surname is … Ximen!"
Ximen Qing's pupils shrank but he quickly regained his composure. His back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat. As his heart trembled, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of Nanhuangzong. There was nothing in the world that could escape their eyes. Three hundred years ago, no one knew the true identity of the Sword Demon. However, this did not include the people of Nanhuangzong. How could the Sword Demon and the Sword God not attract the attention of Nanhuangzong? Although the Nanhuangzong at that time did not have any ambitions, he would silently pay attention to every movement in the world. They already knew the background of the Sword Demon Ye Du Shang. Moreover, the Nanhuangzong people generally used swords as their weapons and paid special attention to all the divine swords in the world. The records of the Sword of the Heavens had never been erased.
Ximen Qing didn't deny it and praised, "Friend, you are really knowledgeable! I admire you. That's right, the third treasure is the Sword of the Sword Demon Ye Du Shang, who was equally famous as the Divine Sword Cang Ming three hundred years ago — the Sword of the Heavens! "
