I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 464

Chapter 464 - Hatred

Outside Mu De Hall, Xiang Yun and Xiang Changan were walking side by side. Two palace maids were leading the way, stepping over the white jade steps and railings.

"Greetings, Emperor. Long live, long live, long live the Emperor!"

Inside Mu De Hall, Xiang Chang An, Xiang Fei, Xiang Kun, and Xiang Shiru stood on either side of him. Aside from them, there were also a few other princes and princesses gathered in Dragon City.

Xiang Yun, on the other hand, was standing in the middle of the great hall, facing the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon throne at the top of the stairs.

Even though he was the crown prince and had an exalted status, he still had to be respectful in front of the emperor of the country of Feng Yun and his own uncle!

"Rise!"

Xiang Lingfeng stood tall, his voice majestic, his eyes like torches!

"Thank you, your majesty!"

Xiang Yun thanked him and stood up, standing tall and straight like a spear. Under the pressure of this monarch, even though Xiang Yun was standing at a very low position, he emitted an invisible aura as he fought back, neither servile nor overbearing.

Seeing the calm Xiang Yun in the middle of the great hall, Xiang Chang An who was standing to one side secretly made a face at him, while Xiang Fei, who was standing beside him, revealed a rare smile.

However, the att.i.tudes of Xiang Kun and Xiang Xi Ru, who stood shoulder to shoulder, were completely different. The Fourth Princess Xiang Xi Ru glanced at Xiang Yun in the great hall, her face filled with disdain as she silently muttered to herself.

"Hmph, this shameless fellow, back then he was kicked out of the Orthodox Academy and brought back to the northwest by Uncle w.a.n.g. Now he actually still has the face to return and even father wants to set a banquet to entertain him. He truly has given him face!"

Third Prince Xiang Kun also had a trace of disdain in his eyes as he spoke in a low voice.

"This is just royal father giving face to Uncle w.a.n.g, otherwise, do you think that after a prince comes to Dragon City, he will need us, princes and princesses to welcome him? Let's just follow them and go through the motions. "

"Hmph! Uncle w.a.n.g has been a.s.sa.s.sinated in the south. I don't know if he is still alive or not. If I am not careful, Uncle w.a.n.g might not have the face to do so."

Xiang Shiru wanted to say something, but a gaze suddenly shot towards her from the main hall. She felt a chill in her heart for no reason, her neck tightened as the hairs on her arms stood erect!

At this moment, it was as if she was being stared at by a ferocious man-eating beast, causing her heart to tremble with fear.

She subconsciously looked in Xiang Yun's direction, only to see that Xiang Yun was facing her, a harmless smile on his face.

However, for some reason, this warm smile actually caused Xiang Shiru to feel fear in her heart for no reason!

"Hahaha!" At this time, a burst of resounding laughter pa.s.sed through the great hall!

"Yun'er, you've finally arrived at Dragon City. Your royal uncle hasn't seen you in three years."

Xiang Lingfeng who was sitting on the dragon throne actually stood up and personally walked down the Dragon Mark Steps, striding in large strides towards Xiang Yun!

"Come quickly, let Imperial Uncle take a good look. You brat, how much change have you made?"

With that, Xiang Lingfeng wore a thick smile on his face, as if he were an elder who had seen and loved his juniors. He actually personally walked up to Xiang Yun, grabbing his sleeves and examining him from head to toe, a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Aiya, it's been three years, but you've already grown into a man. Your head is almost taller than mine, and your appearance is the same as your father's. You look like a talent!"

Faced with the emperor's joyous face which was filled with exclamations, Xiang Yun had a smile on his face as well.

"Royal Uncle, it's been a long time since your nephew has seen you. In these three years, your nephew has always been thinking about you. I didn't expect that you, Royal Uncle, would still be so energetic and radiant!"

"Hahaha, you brat, you're still so good at talking. Your mouth is as good as smeared honey."

"In front of Daoist Master Xi, you do not lie, but what your nephew says is not false."

This is the truth. Since royal uncle is so young and strong, he must have at least nine or five years of experience. Naturally, he must have the protection of dragon qi.

To be able to flatter her in such a round and smooth manner, to be able to do it so freely and so cleanly, Xiang Yun would dare to take second place. No one would dare to take him first.

As soon as he said this, Xiang Lingfeng burst into laughter, clearly enjoying himself.

"Yun'er, you must have been tired from the long journey you've made. I've specially prepared a feast for you to welcome you and cleanse you of all dust and fatigue!"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Huang. Nephew is truly terrified."

"Haha, brat, why are you being so polite with us? We haven't seen each other for three years, so no matter what you say today, you have to accompany me and drink a few more cups."

As he said this, Xiang Lingfeng actually reached out and wrapped his arm around Xiang Yun's shoulders, like the nephew and nephew of a commoner.

"That's only natural. Your nephew would also like to drink two cups of wine with you!"

Xiang Lingfeng's smile grew wider as he wrapped his arm around Xiang Yun's shoulders and waved his hand.

"Come sit, come sit. We are the only family gathered here today, so there is no need to be too formal and formal. Yun'er, sit next to me!"

As the last words left his mouth, the faces of those who were already at the side of the banquet stiffened. Third Prince Xiang Kun and Fourth Princess Xiang Shiru, in particular, were instantly filled with extreme awkwardness.

The two of them were already standing behind a chair, preparing to welcome Xiang Lingfeng into their respective seats before seating themselves once more.

According to the etiquette and rules of the imperial palace, even if one's family was dining, they had to pay attention to status and order.

Aside from His Majesty the Emperor, there was also the empress who had yet to arrive in Mu De Hall. Xiang Kun and Xiang Xi Ru were the most powerful, so it should have been Xiang Kun sitting next to Xiang Tian. However, Xiang Ling's current intentions were naturally for Xiang Kun to move to his seat, while Xiang Yun sat beside him.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. In front of Xiang Fei, Xiang Chang An, several other princes and princesses, he had actually been forced to move down, allowing a crown prince to sit in front of him. Naturally, he was unwilling in his heart!

How could he, Xiang Kun, dare to disobey? He could only forcefully suppress the discontent in his heart as he forced out a smile, taking a step back and pretending to be magnanimous as he spoke.

"Cousin Xiang Yun, please take your seat."

"Thank you, cousin!"

Xiang Yun only said a random "thank you" before turning his head to continue chatting and laughing with Xiang Lingfeng. Under Xiang Lingfeng's insistence, the two of them actually sat down together, and the rest followed suit!

After taking their seats, because the empress had yet to arrive, the banquet had not officially begun, but the atmosphere was not cold at all.

This was because the uncle and nephew duo, Xiang Tian and Xiang Yun, were actually having a chat at this moment, and they were extremely happy at that.

At first, the two of them talked about all the troubles Xiang Yun had caused in Dragon City. Now, Xiang Yun's expression was one of great shame, and he was constantly thanking Xiang Lingfeng for his protection back then.

Xiang Lingfeng, on the other hand, gave a carefree smile. He had said that Xiang Yun was a youth who was arrogant, moreover he was his nephew. How could he not protect him?

What Xiang Lingfeng had said, on the other hand, made the surrounding princes and princesses nibble in their hearts.

He could not help but think gloomily in his heart. If they had also caused Xiang Yun's calamity back then, let alone all of them, he was afraid that even if any of them landed on him, they would still be unable to handle it. This was the difference.

As for this uncle and nephew pair, they acted as if no one else was present and completely ignored the crowd, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

Xiang Yun then told Xiang Lingfeng about his experiences in the Northwest Qin Feng city. From the famous mountains and rivers to the famous scenery, down to the local customs and local customs.

All sorts of new and interesting things were told to Xiang Lingfeng, who was listening attentively from the side. He nodded repeatedly and laughed out loud every once in a while. When there was something he was interested in, he would ask again and again!

Uncle and Nephew

As no one chatted about the past, they actually left a group of dynasty disciples on the side. However, there was not a single person who dared to reveal even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. There was even a smile hanging on the corner of their mouths.

Of course, from time to time, he would adjust the angle of his smile to prevent the corners of his mouth from twitching.

When the royal family disciples present saw Xiang Lingfeng and Xiang Yun having such intimate conversations, all of them, with the exception of Xiang Fei and Xiang Changan, felt jealousy in their hearts as their eyes reddened with envy.

In this entire world, how many juniors had the ability to be personally entertained by His Majesty the Emperor without the slightest bearing of an emperor? Perhaps even the crown prince 'Xiang Qian' did not have such treatment, and only Xiang Yun, the crown prince, had such an att.i.tude!

"Hmph, it's one thing for royal father to tolerate a mere son of the crown prince, but this fellow actually dares to be so disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Xiang Miru, who was sitting beside Xiang Kun, gritted her teeth as she spoke in a low voice.

At the side, Xiang Kun's gaze was also gloomy as he coldly snorted in a low voice, "Hmph, if it weren't for Uncle w.a.n.g's status and ident.i.ty, how would he be different from the other ordinary princes?

Xiang Shiru laughed coldly, "This fellow does not know how to learn, his cultivation is low. If he did not have Uncle w.a.n.g's protection, he would be worse than a cripple. How could he have the ability to get such good treatment from royal father?!"

Even though they were trying to console themselves, Xiang Kun and Xiang Shiru's hearts were currently filled with jealousy towards Xiang Yun.

Even though they were princes, princesses, and even their birth mothers, they had become the current empress. They had spent the most time with Xiang Lingfeng, and should have been the closest to him.

However, when it came to intimacy, it was not even twenty to ten percent as close as Xiang Yun and Imperial Father currently were. When had Xiang Lingfeng ever spoken to them in such an amiable and intimate manner before?

Even if they did their best to curry favor with him, after all these years, Xiang Lingfeng's smiling face would probably be even more smiling at Xiang Yun than it was today.

Such a huge disparity had even occurred to Xiang Yun, whose status was lower than theirs. How could they not be filled with jealousy and unwillingness?

At this moment, Xiang Yun and Xiang Lingfeng were talking about when Xiang Yun was at Qin Feng City. Xiang Lingfeng had sent a letter asking for Xiang Yun's help, ordering people to transport a million taels of gold and to help Xiang Yun bring the economy of Qin Feng back to life.

"Royal Uncle, your nephew was demoted by royal father to the northwest border. If it wasn't for your help, your nephew might have starved to death in Qin Feng City. This goblet of wine is to you, my nephew, and thanks for saving my life. "

Hearing this, Xiang Lingfeng waved his hand and smiled, "You brat, that time you angered your father. I had wanted to make you suffer a little too, but you are my nephew. I can't just let you be."

"Heh heh."

The conversation between the two seemed to add fuel to the flames of jealousy raging around them. Everyone still had no idea that His Majesty the Emperor had personally gifted a million gold to Xiang Yun. Upon hearing these words, their eyes turned red!

Xiang Yun was not just thanking him for saving his life, he was clearly showing off his wealth!

"Crack crack!"

Xiang Kun, who was holding the wine cup in his hand, clenched his teeth, almost wanting to crush the wine cup in his hand. To his side, Xiang Shiru's eyes seemed as though they were about to spit fire.

Usually, as a princess, in order to please his father, he would not dare to be too extravagant with his food and clothing. Even if he hid the silvery-gold and jade artifacts in his mansion, he would wear them as little as possible.

She had never thought that this Xiang Yun would actually only send a letter and Royal Father would already give him a million gold. This disparity in treatment simply caused her to feel the urge to go crazy!

"Hu!" For a moment, the breathing of the people in the banquet became ragged.

Xiang Yun, who was currently conversing with Xiang Lingfeng, could not help but chuckle inwardly at the minute changes that had occurred.

Since he had come to Dragon City this time, he had no intention of keeping a low profile. Since the entire Dragon City wanted to guess his father's situation, then he must continue to act arrogantly until the end!

He wanted to completely confuse all those people who harbored ill intentions in the Dragon City!
