Yaf and Yanni naturally wouldn't be rude to Dongfang Jun's greeting. Having received good upbringing since young, they curtsied and said in unison, "Greetings, Young Master Dongfang."
With a complacent smile, Dongfang Jun said, "Ladies, since ancient times, the Ya family has been our Dongfang family's imperial alchemy apprentice. Therefore … Dongfang Jun, here, formally extends an invitation to the two of you.
Wait!
Not waiting for Dongfang Jun to finish his words, a low and cold voice interrupted him.
The crowd parted, and four young men in yellow, red, black, and white robes walked out from the crowd.
Clasping their fists towards Yaf and Yanni, the three youths proudly introduced themselves …
Beiye Family, Beiye Jian …
Nangong Family, Nangong Chi …
Sima Family, Sima Nan …
Ximen Family, Ximen Xing …
Greetings, Misses …
Looking at the five young men who were similarly dressed in Luo robes, high hats, and wide belts, everyone knew that these five fellows were definitely the super geniuses of the five great clans of this generation.
Because of the Five Emperors, the five great families would produce a large number of geniuses who were extremely suited for pill refinement every generation.
Pill refiners were one in ten thousand, and even their descendants weren't necessarily suited for pill refinement.
However, the Five Emperors were an exception. It wasn't because their attributes were special, but because … for tens of thousands of years, they had far too many descendants, numbering in the tens of millions.
Thus, even if they were one in ten thousand, there would still be several outstanding super geniuses who were suited for pill refinement every generation.
Beiye Jian, Nangong Chi, Sima Nan, Dongfang Jun, and Ximen Xing. These five geniuses were the most outstanding of this generation of the five great families.
In the past, Yaf and Yanni would've been overjoyed to receive an invitation from this generation's five great geniuses from the five great families and would've immediately agreed.
But not now. In Yaf and Yanni's eyes, they were already Yan Guilai's subordinates.
Moreover, during their most difficult times, the five great families hadn't helped them.
When their lives were in danger, it was Yan Gui Lai who saved them from the jaws of death again and again.
More importantly, they were already sleeping on the same bed, and even under the same blanket.
Thus … in this life, they had already decided that Yan Guilai would never follow anyone else.
But even if they wanted to refuse … how could they refuse?
If they directly exposed Yan Guilai, it would be the same as making enemies for him. With their backgrounds and resources, wouldn't dealing with Yan Guilai be a piece of cake?
Just as they were pondering, in the distance … the sound of a gong.
Everyone turned to look, the sound of the gong, the sound, the sound of the sound, the sound of eight Bearers.
If it was just a palanquin with eight carriers, it wouldn't be anything special. However, on the flagpole beside the palanquin, there was a large 'Chu' character that caused everyone to keep quiet out of fear.
Not daring to be negligent, everyone stepped aside, leaving a wide path for him to pass through.
Following the path formed by the crowd, the palanquin carried by eight people proudly arrived in front of the ruined temple.
Down!
Following a loud and clear shout, the's's' slowly landed.
Under everyone's gaze, the curtain of the's's' was gently lifted. Two people, like a golden boy and a jade girl, walked out of the's's'..
. "After getting off the's', the handsome boy turned to the side and stretched out his hand." Little sister … you first … "
Faced with her brother's modesty, the adorable girl smiled sweetly and said, "Big brother, you first …"
In the end, the incomparably handsome boy walked in front, gently protecting the beautiful girl from the side as they walked all the way to the dilapidated temple.
In the crowd, Yan Guilai couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. As expected of the royal grandson of the Great Chu royalty. In terms of bearing and etiquette, there wasn't the slightest flaw.
Although the disciples of the five great clans were also very outstanding, compared to the descendants of the Great Chu royalty, they lacked a certain grace and elegance.
What made Yan Gui Lai sigh in admiration was that these two children were indeed of the royal bloodline of Great Chu. The boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful. No matter where they went, they would definitely stand out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
As they walked to the temple, the pair of golden boy and jade girl looked at each other. Then, they cupped their fists at Ya Fu and Yan Ni at the same time and said in a crisp voice, "Great Chu royalty — Chu Xingtian and Chu Lian. Greetings to the two ladies …"
Following the arrival of the royal grandson of the Great Chu royalty, the disciples of the five great clans couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Chu Xingtian was a rare genius of the Great Chu royalty. His talent was so high that it wasn't below that of his ancestor, Chu Xingyun. In fact, it was far superior.
It was also because of this that he received the name Chu Xingtian. After all … the clouds were in the embrace of the heavens, and the heavens were above the clouds.
Since Chu Xingtian had taken a fancy to them, no one else had the qualifications to fight for them. As long as one wasn't stupid, one would know who to choose.
One had to know that once Ya Fu and Yan Ni chose to assist Chu Xingtian, they would have a very high chance of winning Chu Xingtian's favor and becoming his wife.
In the near future … once Chu Xingtian took over the throne of the Great Chu royalty, Ya Fu and Yan Ni would have a very high chance of sitting on the throne of the empress.
Chu Xingtian clearly understood this point. He looked around complacently, not worried in the slightest.
Seeing this scene, regardless of whether they were willing or not, the geniuses of the five great clans had no choice but to respectfully walk forward and greet Chu Xingtian.
With a face full of smiles, Chu Xingtian looked at Bei Ye Jian, Ximen Xing, Nangong Chi, Sima Nan and Dongfang Jun. These five great geniuses, Chu Xingtian knew that if he wanted to sit on the throne in the future, he would have to win over some subordinates.
Thus, after muttering to himself for a moment, Chu Xingtian warmly said, "Everyone, there's no need to be so courteous. Our ancestors were like family, so we should also be like family."
As he spoke, Chu Xingtian waved his hand and decisively said, "Today, we've all come here for the same purpose. We all wish to invite Miss Ya Fu and Miss Yan Ni to become our alchemy apprentices."
As he spoke, Chu Xingtian bowed to Yafu and Yanni to express his respect. His graceful bearing was indeed something that could easily bring joy to the girls' hearts.
Surrounded by the crowd, Chu Xingtian confidently said, "Although I, Chu Xingtian, am the grandson of the Great Chu royalty, I will never use my power to bully others. Everyone can fight for it with their own abilities."
Hearing Chu Xingtian's words, Dongfang Jun couldn't help but turn his eyes and say, "Oh! Is that true? "
Nodding seriously, Chu Xingtian's expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, "I, Chu Xingtian, have always been a man of my word. No matter who the two ladies choose in the end, I, Chu Xingtian, will sincerely congratulate them!"
Tch …
Although everyone appeared to be praising Chu Xingtian's words on the surface, it was clear that this wasn't the case in their hearts.
With Chu Xingtian's identity and status, even if Ya Fu and Yan Ni were stupid, even if their brains were damaged, they wouldn't choose anyone else. The throne of empress was right in front of them. Would any girl reject it?
Thus … although Chu Xingtian's words were dignified on the surface, in reality … he was simply putting on a show. It couldn't be any more fake.
With trembling lips, Ya Fu said, "This … can we … can we sisters really choose as we wish?"
