C4446 Stop Pretending!
The Third Prince's face darkened slightly. He looked at Leng Qiu and said, "Leng Hou."
"Yes, Third Highness," Leng Qiu hurriedly replied, not daring to raise her head.
"What gift are you preparing to present?" the Third Prince said indifferently.
Leng Qiu raised her head and took out a gift that she had prepared beforehand. It was a pile of top-grade pills. She said in a clear voice, "This is a fire-attribute spirit pill specially made by the Profound Pill Sect. It is most suitable for cultivating fire-attribute cultivation techniques. It is specially presented to you, Third Highness. Please accept it."
After saying that, he knelt down on one knee. He looked submissive and obedient, showing that he was absolutely loyal and obedient.
"Please accept it."
"Please accept it."
When Fan Ren and Zheng Yuanwu saw this, they also knelt down on one knee and offered gifts with both hands.
Without a doubt, the three of them had already lowered their attitudes. By offering such precious treasures as gifts, they expressed their loyalty. Moreover, they knelt down in front of all the famous people in the City of Border to offer a gift to the Third Highness. It was quite a bit like forcing him to abdicate the throne.
In order to please the Third Highness, the three of them had racked their brains and used all kinds of methods. It was also the right thing to present gifts in such a grand manner.
In their opinion, as long as the Third Highness accepted this gift, it would be equivalent to him tacitly agreeing to write off their past matters and forgiving them.
This was a tacit understanding from the top to the bottom, a set of rules and a way of playing.
As the Third Prince of the Peerless Dynasty, he was naturally very familiar with it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone was watching the Third Prince's next move. If he did not accept it, then he would be unable to get off the stage.
"Hehe, this is really interesting. I want to see how this Third Prince will deal with it."
Chen Xiao watched this scene calmly and indifferently. He would not interfere in this kind of matter, and it had nothing to do with him.
However, sitting by the side and watching the show was a different kind of fun.
The Third Prince stood up at this time, and his cold eyes swept across the hall. He saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and it was very interesting and complicated. There were surprised ones, but there were also those who seemed to have come to a realization, and there were even some who were calm and unperturbed, as if they had expected all of this, and there were even some who were nervous and uneasy.
"Heh, you three old things, you have given this prince a difficult problem."
The Third Prince said coldly.
Today, the three of them openly presented treasures, and it was even a top-grade treasure like the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure, making it very difficult for people to refuse.
If he accepted these three things, it was equivalent to accepting the loyalty of the three of them. Once it was spread out, the many evil deeds and dirty things that the three of them had done before would all be counted on his head, causing the people to think that he was the one who ordered them.
It was not easy to take such a big black pot.
However, if he did not accept this treasure today, it would be equivalent to him ripping his own face apart and publicly falling out with the Third Prince. It would be extremely disadvantageous for the Third Prince in the future.
It was clear that the three of them had put the Third Prince on fire and forced him to the brink of a wall. They had to force the Third Prince to make a decision.
It was a crime that could not be forgiven.
“Your Highness, please accept it.”
The three of them spoke in unison and did not have the slightest intention of relaxing.
Facing the pressure from the three of them and the countless pairs of eyes in the vast border city, the Third Prince had a cold expression and did not panic in the slightest.
The three of them raised their heads carefully. When they saw the Third Prince’s expression, their hearts thumped, and they instantly had a premonition of unease.
“You want me to accept it? Heh, it’s actually not difficult. Today, in front of so many people with faces, you’ve made your words clear. It’s good for both of us, right?”
At this moment, the Third Prince’s temperament changed, as if he had become a completely different person.
Earlier, he had been able to come from one side to the other without rejecting anyone. He was completely like a carefree second-generation Immortal. Even though everyone respected him as the Third Highness, they could not help but feel disdain and contempt in their hearts.
Actually, no one cared about how the Third Prince himself was. They would only treat him as the son of the Divine Emperor. He was of noble birth and had a respected status, but he was merely reincarnated.
Anyone in this position would not be bad. Their cultivation was not obtained by themselves, but by the Divine Emperor’s protection.
In their hearts, many of the Tribulation Transcenders present would look down on the Third Prince's frivolous actions.
However, these words would only be hidden in their hearts and would not really show it.
However, since the three marquises had already laid out their cards and wanted to drag the Third Prince into the water, he might as well stop pretending.
If he continued pretending, he might really be looked down upon by others.
Facing the Third Prince's question, Fan Ren was startled and his face instantly turned cold. He asked, "What do you mean by that, Third Prince? I don't understand."
"Third Prince, the three of us have been loyal to His Majesty the Divine Emperor for generations. We have defended the borders of the imperial family. Even if we didn't do anything, we have done our best. Why does Your Highness say that?"
Zheng Yuanwu said with a pained expression and was quite indignant.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?" Leng Qiu also chimed in and asked.
In an instant, the three of them changed their expressions. The atmosphere in the hall became extremely stiff.
Originally, the banquet was a celebration, but it also had a bit of killing intent. It was extremely cold, and one could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breaths and kept quiet. They did not dare to make a sound, and other than Chen Xiao's drinking voice, there was no other sound.
The Third Prince paused for a moment and glanced at Chen Xiao, who was sitting at the side and drinking with relish. It seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and he was calm and at ease.
Suddenly, the Third Prince laughed in relief. That's right. With Chen Xiao protecting him, he had nothing to fear. He could do whatever he wanted.
After thinking through this point, the Third Prince tilted his head to look at Ying San and asked, “Is everything ready?”
Ying San’s face was tense like a ten-thousand-year-old ice, and he said, “Your Highness, according to the plan, it’s time.”
“That’s good.” The Third Prince nodded with satisfaction.
“This…”
This conversation caused Fan Ren and the others to be stunned, and they were completely confused.
Even though they felt uneasy in their hearts, they had already arrived at this critical juncture, and there was no room for negotiation.
“Your Highness, we are loyal to you, so please accept this gift. From now on, our three great clans will be willing to be your slaves and serve you. We will not complain at all.”
Fan Ren continued to plead earnestly.
“Your Highness, please accept the treasure.” Zheng Yuanwu chimed in.
“Your Highness, as long as you accept this treasure, our three great clans will never have second thoughts about you.”
Leng Qiu followed.
Such a scene caused all the cultivators in the hall to be dumbstruck, and they were completely confused by it.
When the Third Prince saw this, he shook his head and said, “There’s no hurry. Take the treasure first, and we’ll talk about this after the matter is settled.”
“This…”
After Fan Ren heard this, he was completely stunned, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
