Immortal of the Nine Realms
Chapter 72: Marquess Xianyu!

“Longdu’s envoy is here too? How are we supposed to bid against him…”

“Shush! Don’t you see the hundreds of cavalrymen stationed on the shore? You might have your mouth ripped off if you speak the wrong words!”

“We have no choice but to take a step back here. I wonder if Jade Fairy will give in to Longdu’s envoy. I heard that not even the crown prince has been able to win over Jade Fairy…”

“Heh, it’d be good if she’s deflowered. Only then will we have a shot with her too.”

All kinds of murmurs could be heard from the other boats, and the crowd assessed Baron Xian and the others with curious eyes.

Baron Xian looked at Jade Fairy with a sincere and honest smile, but the latter merely spared him a glance before looking elsewhere. She had noticed Fang Chen, Xu Ge, and the flamboyant ladies sitting around them. Ire flickered across her eyes.

Why didn’t anyone inform me that the young master has come to our Jade Fairy Boat?

Angered, Jade Fairy began making her way over to Fang Chen’s side.

The crowd, however, thought that she was walking toward Baron Xian.

Even Baron Xian himself thought the same too. When Jade Fairy came close to him, he stood up and raised his wine cup, saying, “Jade Fairy…”

His words were cut short when Jade Fairy walked past him without sparing a glance. Even Ye Qinghe and the others, despite being regulars of the Jade Fairy Boat, were completely ignored.

The crowd was startled.

Madam Liu’s smile froze up, as she stared at Jade Fairy in utter shock. What’s that lass up to this time around?!

Jade Fairy walked straight up to Fang Chen’s group. Huangfu Jie, Yuan Zhuang, and the others exchanged shocked gazes, and the women around them were so flustered that they instinctively stood up.

“Young master, you should have told me that you’re coming,” Jade Fairy said with a chuckle before squeezing down beside Fang Chen.

“Jade Fairy, I was not the one who made the offer,” Fang Chen said with a smile.

He knew that she was angry, but that was not of importance to him.

“Young master?!”

The crowd naturally turned to Fang Chen, curious to know who he was. Quite a number of customers recognized Fang Chen, and they shot to their feet out of sheer astonishment. They hurriedly informed those around them who they had seen.

It was no wonder Jade Fairy ignored Longdu’s envoy. There was someone more important here!

Baron Xian’s face darkened. He, too, recognized Fang Chen.

Ye Qinghe and the others were horrified. Doesn’t Fang Chen steer clear of such entertainment facilities? That was the reason they discussed Fang Chen here in the first place!

Not only was Fang Chen here today, but he even brought a group of people with him, including the number one expert of the southern region, Seven Profound Saber Huangfu Jie, Windcloud Sword Xu Ge, and the Court of Great Brilliance’s rectifiers.

What is Fang Chen up to?! Ye Qinghe was wary.

“I can choose whoever I wish to drink with, and I don’t think anyone here can offer a greater value than young master Fang,” Jade Fairy said as she poured a cup of wine for Fang Chen.

The ladies sitting with Xu Ge, Huangfu Jie, and the others finally realized who Fang Chen was, and their eyes lit up with excitement. They would have never thought that they would ever have the honor of sharing a table with War God Fang and even tease him. This was something they could brag about for years to come!

Baron Xian’s complexion darkened upon hearing Jade Fairy’s words. He glanced at Ye Qinghe before saying, “I’m tired. I’ll be taking my leave first.”

He waved his hand and took his leave.

Ye Qinghe’s heart skipped a beat. The negotiation between their countries was over if Baron Xian left just like that, and he would have to take responsibility as the one who brought Baron Xian here.

The crown prince would be disappointed in me!

Ye Qinghe quickly stopped Baron Xian and appeased him. Then, he marched up with Fang Chen with his people and said, “Fang Chen, I have received orders to entertain Baron Xian today. You shouldn’t be here. Please leave now.”

He naively thought that Jade Fairy would drink with Baron Xian as long as Fang Chen left.

Fang Chen chuckled. “Go ahead and entertain him then. I’ll do my own stuff here. There’s no need for us to cross each other.”

“You know exactly what’s going on!” Ye Qinghe’s eyes turned cold. Does he not know how important this negotiation is to us? Taking a deep breath, he turned to Jade Fairy and said, “Jade Fairy, someone like you should consider the bigger picture. You should know what you ought and ought not do.”

“Young master, have some grapes. I’ve peeled them for you.” Jade Fairy popped a glistening grape into Fang Chen’s mouth.

The crowd was both envious and shocked. They had never seen Jade Fairy treating a person in such a manner before!

“Hehehe…” Baron Xian suddenly let out a sinister laugh. “Even a lowly woman from Great Xia dares to humiliate me in public. It looks like there’s no saving your Great Xia! Very well, I shall send your War God Fang to the netherworld today!”

Boom!

The surrounding walls suddenly exploded.

While the crowd was at a loss as to what to do, thirteen people suddenly rushed into the hall and surrounded Fang Chen’s group.

At the same time, the other boats on the Great Xia River went up in flames. Cries of agony could be heard as countless people leaped into the river despite the risk of drowning,

“Baron Xian, this…” Ye Qinghe was taken aback.

The others on the Jade Fairy Boat stood up in alarm too.

Baron Xian sneered in response.

The thirteen figures unleashed their auras, and their inner ki gushed out to envelop their bodies. Their auras were stronger than Xu Ge’s, with some almost reaching Huangfu Jie’s level. They were pinnacle Ki Control martial artists!

No matter how dull-witted Ye Qinghe was, it was obvious that Baron Xian had come with an ulterior motive, possibly to eliminate Fang Chen. Why else would he come to Great Xia with thirteen pinnacle Ki Control martial artists?!

“But as long as there’s no Ki Manifestation martial artist…”

As soon as Ye Qinghe murmured those words, Fang Chen spoke up with a smile, “Judging from your aura, Marquess Xianyu, it doesn’t seem like you have only just reached Ki Manifestation.”

Marquess Xianyu?! That’s the strongest martial artist in Longdu! The territory he has under him is almost on par with the other dukes, and there is speculation that he might be promoted into a duke very soon!

Baron Xian’s haughty attitude vanished as if it was just an act. He calmly sat back down as he looked at Fang Chen with an enigmatic smile, saying, “The rumors are true. War God Fang is a formidable person. To think that you have even figured out my identity… but I wonder if there’s anything you can do to turn the tables on me today?”

Cries of agony persisted in the nearby boats. There were assassins lighting more flames and slaughtering the customers. Screams were also echoing from the shore, and the hundreds of Longdu cavalrymen had begun their massacre.

The crowd gasped in horror. Is Longdu out of their mind?
