Chapter 57: The Ten Great Men of the Capital
"These ten beauties will be bought by the people present tonight and will offer their virginity to you. However, the cheapest one among them should cost tens of thousands of taels of gold."
Dai Chao thought Ling Chen was interested in these beauties, and explained with a smile.
"nausea."
A hint of disgust appeared in Xiao Muyu's beautiful eyes. She naturally couldn't agree with the practice of treating women as playthings, but this was the royal family's territory after all, so even if she was unhappy, she couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Ling Chen seemed not to have heard Dai Chao's words. He stared in another direction and saw a familiar figure.
It was the eldest prince himself.
"Three of you, my Cuiyu Tower is pretty good, right?"
The eldest prince walked over with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face.
"It's more than just passable, it's heaven on earth."
Ling Chen smiled and shook his head.
From a guest's perspective, this is indeed a paradise of enjoyment.
“Haha, that’s good, Ling Chen. I’m relieved to see that you’ve recovered.” The smile on the eldest prince’s face became more and more intense.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Ling Chen cupped his hands.
"The three of you must have fun. I have other things to do, so I'll leave you now." The eldest prince also clasped his fists and before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Ling Chen before leaving.
"This eldest prince is not bad, he is a character."
Ling Chen looked at the eldest prince's leaving back, and was also thoughtful. Logically speaking, they hunted down the dragon-patterned leopard that was crippled by the other party. Logically, the other party would feel uncomfortable, but the eldest prince in front of him did not look unhappy at all.
Regardless of whether this person is insincere or sincere, just looking at the superficial work, he has done a pretty good job.
This kind of person is the most terrifying.
People who show their emotions on their faces are truly unsuitable to be the crown prince, for example Ying Wuqing.
"Ling Chen, you recovered pretty quickly. You're really lucky to be alive like this."
Just as he thought of Ying Wuqing, Ling Chen heard a weird voice coming over and piercing his ears.
Following the sound, I saw that sitting at a table not far away were Ying Wuqing and his gang, as well as Ouyang Ming and Zhang Zhenwu, the people I met in the royal hunting ground.
The one who spoke was Ouyang Ming, the disciple of the Fiery Blade Sect who sat at Ying Wuqing's table.
"The one with a tough life is probably His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. I remember that when you were being chased by the dragon-patterned leopard, you were like a stray dog. Fortunately, you have a good brother, otherwise, you would have become a dead soul under the claws of the dragon-patterned leopard."
Before Ling Chen opened his mouth, Xiao Muyu had already sneered. When she was in the hunting ground, she was already very dissatisfied with Ying Wuqing's behavior. She was stopped by Ling Chen at that time, and there were some things she hadn't said before. Now, she finally found the opportunity.
"How dare you insult the Fourth Prince!"
Ouyang Ming slammed the table and shouted.
"How do you know that the Fourth Prince was being hunted by the dragon-patterned leopard? Was all this a trap set by you? Did you intentionally let the young dragon-patterned leopard be killed by the Fourth Prince?" Zhang Zhenwu said with a gloomy expression.
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but find it a little funny. These guys seemed to have some paranoia. Was it necessary for him to make such elaborate plans to deal with a mere Ying Wuqing?
However, Ying Wuqing seemed to believe it. His expression changed slightly, as if he understood something, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes. No wonder he said that all this was so coincidental, and in the end all the benefits went to Xiao Muyu and Ling Chen. It turned out that he was plotted against by these two.
"Ha ha."
Waving his hand to stop Ouyang Ming and the other man, Ying Wuqing stood up calmly with a glass of wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, they are all disciples of the righteous way, how could they do such a despicable thing? Ling Chen, to celebrate your recovery, I toast you a glass."
Knowing that Ying Wuqing was being hypocritical, Ling Chen still stood up, glanced at Ying Wuqing, and said calmly: "No need!"
Ouyang Ming smiled coldly and said, "Ling Chen, the Fourth Prince personally invited you to drink, but you didn't give him face. Do you, the disciples of Shenyi Sect, not take the imperial court seriously at all? Could it be that the current Shenyi Sect is very dissatisfied with the royal family?"
Ling Chen stared at Ouyang Ming. This guy was too talkative. "Okay! If that's the case, then I'd better obey your command."
boom!
Suddenly, he slapped the table, and a glass of wine that was originally on the table flew up steadily.
The next moment, the glass of wine seemed to bounce up and fell into Ling Chen's hands, without a single drop spilling on the ground.
Ling Chen drank it all in one gulp and put the glass back on the table.
Many people around saw this scene and were all horrified.
"What a beautiful technique!" A pretty girl in the distance exclaimed.
In order to not spill a single drop of wine, one must control one's true Qi to perfection. Even many veteran martial artists cannot reach this level.
Ling Chenlu's move immediately stunned all the people on Ying Wuqing's side, and no one dared to say another word.
"I didn't expect that your strength has reached such a level. It really makes me amazed. But as we all know, there are always people better than you. This is the capital of the Kingdom of Wind, where geniuses gather. At tonight's banquet, you will see that there are many people who are stronger than you." Ying Wuqing said in a cold voice with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Hearing this, Ling Chen did not rush to respond. He had never said that his strength was invincible in the world. Not to mention the entire Five Kingdoms, even the geniuses in the Wind Kingdom were endless. In the Wind Kingdom, there were at least dozens of young masters who were stronger than Ling Chen.
If we really have to rank them one by one, Ling Chen would not be ranked.
Ling Chen has the title of the first genius in the martial arts world. He is extremely talented, but everyone knows that only among people of the same age can Ling Chen be considered the first. When it comes to a real fight, who cares whether you are of the same age?
Even if you are invincible among people of the same age, but others’ cultivation is much higher than yours, what’s the use of your invincibility?
Furthermore, most people believed that Ling Chen’s reputation as the greatest genius in the martial arts world was largely due to his father, Tianyu Supreme. However, they did not know Ling Chen’s true talent, so naturally they did not think too highly of Zhang Ruochen.
After the death of Supreme Tianyu, Ling Chen's name rarely appeared in people's ears . The reason why Ling Chen can have a well-known reputation now is because he is still known as Xu Ruoyan's fiancé, which makes many young talents very envious and jealous.
Xu Ruoyan was the young master of the Tianxu Palace, the largest sect in the martial arts world. What a noble status that was. The only people who could be worthy of such a peerless woman were the young giants on the Heavenly Ranking. Below them, it should be other young and powerful talents, not Ling Chen.
"Looking at the entire Five Kingdoms, Ling Chen's strength is naturally nothing." Ling Chen did not speak, but Xiao Muyu spoke. She glanced at Ying Wuqing and sneered, "But at least compared to him, the Fourth Prince is like a poor horse compared to a unicorn. They are incomparable . Even in the entire Royal Capital, the only ones who can compete with him are probably those who rank high among the 'Ten Great Men of the Royal Capital'."
The Ten Heroes of the Royal Capital are the ten most outstanding young warriors in the entire Royal Capital. They all come from martial arts families, are royal relatives, and are well-known in the entire Kingdom of Wind.
Xiao Muyu's words made Ling Chen frown slightly. Saying such things in a place like this would undoubtedly attract some hatred.
At this moment, on a higher platform, Xu Ruoyan, the eldest prince and others were sitting here. From this position, they could clearly see other parts of the banquet .
There were more than a dozen talented people in the tower, handsome men and beautiful women. Each of them was a well-known person in the capital and even in the Kingdom of Wind, with both a strong background and strong personalities.
