Chapter 246 Men Listen to Gossip Together
Jiaying instinctively disliked Sikong Qing, not only because Sikong Qing and he were two completely different types of people.
When Sikong Qing walked in, men, women, young and old, all held their breath for a moment because of his stunning beauty that surpassed all other worlds.
Such a look would put a lot of pressure on other men. Jiaying could easily imagine that if Ye Xiaoman were here, she would also be amazed.
Jiaying's tone was cold, and his attitude was even worse than when he faced Xiao Chujing. "Give it away."
Sikong Qing glared, holding her chin with one hand, and kicked Jiaying's chair leg with her long legs under the table, "Who is it for?"
His naturally coquettish appearance made him look like a playboy who would abduct decent girls, which made Jiaying even more disgusted. "No comment."
After Jiaying finished speaking, he took out his Buddhist beads and silently recited the scriptures. He ignored anyone who spoke to him.
"Humph, what an arrogant bald donkey."
Sikong Qing was certain that Jiaying had deceived him, and was secretly plotting how to snatch the treasure away.
If it weren't for the difficulty in killing people and stealing treasures in the Divine Realm, and Jiaying would be back soon, he would have wanted to kill Jiaying halfway.
Xiao Chujing must have the same idea as him.
Otherwise, why would he be so attentive to Jiaying and act so sinisterly, smiling but hiding a dagger behind his smile?
He must get the Marrow Cleansing Grass before Xiao Chujing to consolidate his position in Ye Xiaoman's heart.
Sikong Qing leaned lazily on the back of the chair, fanning himself with his sleeves, much like a gorgeous peacock preening its feathers.
On one side is a bald donkey, and on the other side is a mad dog.
Today is such an unlucky day. I have to go to the zoo so early in the morning.
Three men, one drama.
The three of them each had their own thoughts and were full of malice towards each other, but they didn't know that in the eyes of other guests, they were outstanding in appearance, each with their own characteristics, and were the most beautiful scenery.
Apart from the initial greetings, the men did not speak to each other.
Sitting idly, my mind returned to my own self.
Jiaying thought that Ji Weiming had finally found another love, and he had gotten rid of his biggest rival in love. From then on, no one would disturb his love with Ye Xiaoman. His cold expression began to warm up.
Sikong Qing asked the palace steward for a menu and studied the special dishes of the Divine Realm with great contentment, thinking about cooking for the greedy Ye Xiaoman. To capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach, and the corners of his mouth flew up.
Xiao Chujing was observing the process of holding a wedding banquet in the palace. In the future, when he and his junior sister get married, he will need to take care of the wedding himself. He must seize the opportunity to learn. He fantasized about it and smiled deeply.
The men were all laughing foolishly. It was hard to imagine how shocked they would be when they found out the truth in the future - that when my wife got married, I not only sat at the head table but also gave gifts.
Xiao Chujing walked out of the banquet hall, first observing the butler's greeting skills with the various distinguished guests, then went to the kitchen to watch the royal chefs' cooking process, and finally walked to the door to see how the servants of the palace welcomed the guests.
The palace was short-staffed, and the servants had to arrange monster mounts for the guests and also assign some people to check the invitations, and they almost ran their legs off.
Xiao Chujing heard them complaining in low voices.
"The prince has already requested help from the palace, why haven't the palace servants arrived yet?"
"I heard that there were so many people watching the ceremony that the roads were completely blocked. There was a traffic jam and they hadn't arrived yet."
"Shouldn't we have come to the palace last night?"
"Well, it's because the prince's wedding is very tight, and the uniform dresses for the servants were still being worked on last night, and they were only received this morning."
Xiao Chujing, believing that practice is the only way to gain true knowledge, took the initiative to say, "I'll help."
"How can I trouble you so much... Thank you so much."
If Ye Xiaoman saw this scene, she would definitely scream.
When she married Ji Weiming, Xiao Chujing not only sat at the main table to present gifts, he also stood at the door to welcome the guests!
After Xiao Chujing knew the truth, he had to chop her to pieces.
Ye Xiaoman was very lucky. Xiao Chujing had no chance to see her and Ji Weiming get married. He welcomed the guests for a while, and then the palace steward came over with a sad face and asked him to stop welcoming the guests.
The butler apologized and sent all the guests away.
When asked why, he didn't say a word and simply replied, "The wedding was postponed."
There's hope.
Xiao Chujing stood at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion and keenly sensed a certain undercurrent.
The guests left with puzzled expressions, like a tide.
Sikong Qing walked out with the crowd, and he and Xiao Chujing walked towards the nearby large teahouse at the same time.
Teahouses, where good and bad people gather, are places where information flows most quickly.
The reason why King Rui suddenly canceled his wedding was kept secret by the upper class of the nobility, but it must have spread among the people.
They just need to order a pot of tea in the teahouse, drink it, and walk out of the teahouse again. All the information is in their minds.
This information may become the key for humans to control the divine realm, and may also help the demons rise.
They need to know.
Jiaying, surrounded by monks, finally walked out of the palace. He hesitated for a moment and did not return to Yongning Temple. "Let's go to the teahouse."
In the teahouse hall, Jiaying, Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing sat at the same table. There was a huge public outcry in the Divine Realm today, and the teahouse was packed. It was difficult to get a seat, and Jiaying didn't want to use his privilege, so they had to share the table again.
Two pots of tea have been drunk.
The three of them were silent.
Looking closely, Jiaying's fingers, which were twisting the Buddhist beads, had not moved for a long time, Sikong Qing's forehead veins were trembling, and Xiao Chujing clenched his fists. The expressions of the three were speechless, and they were trying their best to suppress their impatience.
Especially Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing, they were full of expectations for the inside story of the cancellation of Prince Rui's wedding. Based on Ji Wenyi's sudden dethronement, they had already imagined a conspiracy script such as turmoil in the court and constant disputes among several factions. Who knew it would turn out to be such a bloody story.
It had been a long time since anything exciting had happened in the Divine Realm. People were telling each other about the news, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of gossip. The atmosphere was like that of the New Year.
The grand sacrificial ceremony in the divine realm is about to be held, and many tourists from all over the world are flocking in. Everyone sits together to exchange gossip, temporarily putting aside the barriers between demons, humans, ghosts, and monster cultivators, and having a great time.
A middle-aged man who claimed that he had relatives working in the Prince's Mansion and had first-hand inside information was surrounded by the crowd. He crossed his legs and talked freely.
"I'm sure you've all heard about the fight between the Deposed Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Rui in the street today. Many of you here witnessed it."
"Yes, the truth is just as you think. The two princes fell in love with the same woman. Prince Rui got married, and the deposed crown prince snatched the bride away."
"It is said that the deposed prince even disguised himself as his younger brother and went to the Ye Mansion to welcome his bride."
Everyone sighed when they heard this, "My wife has become my sister-in-law, my brother's sister-in-law has become my daughter-in-law. What is love in this world? It makes people stab my brothers in the back."
Jiaying was disdainful when he heard this.
Ji Weiming really likes to steal. If he doesn’t steal his own things, he will steal his brother’s.
"Why is the version I heard different from yours?" Another well-informed person stood up and objected to this kind of brotherly feud.
"I have some connections. The woman the deposed crown prince likes is called Xiangla Ji Tuibao. As the name suggests, she is an exotic woman."
He opened the invitation from Prince Rui in public. Being invited by Prince Rui proved that he was either wealthy or noble, and indeed had a lot of connections. "Prince Rui's princess is called Ye Zhishui."
"The deposed crown prince and Prince Rui clearly fell in love with different women."
