Chapter 286 – To come knocking for a fight (3)
Nangong Liuyun lifted his eyebrows slightly and coldly snorted out a sentence: “Seventh rank?”
“Yes, my grandfather is now a seventh ranked expert!” Liu Chengfeng arrogantly lifted his head, and stuck out his chest in an extremely proud manner. It seemed as if that seventh ranked expert wasn’t his grandfather, but he himself.
Who knew that Nangong Liuyun’s next sentence would make Liu Chengfeng mad enough to spit out blood.
One could see Nangong Liuyun merely leisurely set down his teacup and saucer. The corner of his mouth hooked into a smile that was as light as clouds and breeze. He unhurriedly, casually asked a sentence. “Liu Elder Ancestor is around a hundred years old, right?”
The implication was that, at around one hundred years old before reaching seventh rank, you have the nerve to flaunt it in front of this king? Weren’t you even a little embarrassed?
The more Nangong Liuyun’s behavior seemed light as the clouds and breeze, the more clearly he showed his contempt and disdain.
Liu Potian heard what was said, immediately, one of his breaths stifled in his throat.
His pair of eyes glared at Nangong Liuyun very fiercely, until they were the shape of copper bells. His pair of hands firmly clenched into fists, cursing secretly in his heart. Not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, little youth who hasn’t even grown out all your hair! He was looking down on seventh rank? Could it be that he had also reached the seventh rank?
For years on end, Liu Potian had always had an eminent status due to his order in strength among others being regarded as pretty good. He forcibly did his utmost to restrain his surging anger. Afterwards, the corner of his mouth lifted into a taunting sneer: “Your Highness Prince Jin’s vision is very high, even a cultivator at the seventh rank isn’t qualified in your eyes. Ha ha, perhaps His Majesty himself doesn’t even have a place in your eyes!”
These words simply hit too close to the heart!
If the reply was not good and it was spread out, then it would not only be the crown prince taking precautions against Prince Jin. On His Majesty’s side, will also most likely be… deeply afraid of the consequences. After all, Prince Jin was too outstanding.
Nangong Liuyun heard what was said, then brilliant and vibrant lights appeared gleaming from within his eyes. The corner of his mouth slowly rose into a nefarious, demonic, alluring and shallow smile. His tone was soft and relaxed like goose feathers, but every word reeked of blood: “Liu Potian, truth be told, this king indeed hadn’t noticed you.”
When Liu Potian heard what was said, his expression became rigid. Afterwards, his expression became ashen as his anger surged up.
This hateful Prince Jin! He actually dared to say these words in front of his face, this was the same as slapping him in the face on the spot!
A very red blush rose on Liu Potian’s face, he suddenly stood up. He glared at Nangong Liuyun in a rage. Yet, before waiting for him to speak, Nangong Liuyun faintly smiled and lifted an eyebrow, then unhurriedly said: “However, Liu Potian, you, as a very minor martial artist, would dare to mention yourself as on par to this king’s emperor father? Or has your heart long ago had the desire to seize the throne?”
If Liu Potian’s words intended to put a person’s heart to death, then Nangong Liuyun’s words would simply put a person’s heart and lungs to death; all five viscera and six bowels would be put to death.
This kind of huge criminal charge descending down on him, how could Liu Potian hold himself back? If these words were to spread out, even if he was a seventh rank, so what? With the power of him as a single person, he was also unable to protect the entire Li clan’s peace.
“Your Highness! Don’t speak nonsense! This kind of huge accusation, the Liu family is unable to assume!” A raging inferno was ignited in Liu Potian’s eyes as he frostily glared at Nangong Liuyun!
Compared to Liu Potian’s utterly discomfited expression, Nangong Liuyun still seemed indifferent. He leisurely crossed one leg over the other, indulgently leaning back on the seat made out of red sandalwood. Using a kind of disdainful-of-the-entire-world gaze, which landed on Liu Potian’s body light as a feather. “Oh? You cannot assume the responsibility, then are you saying this king could? Such a seventh ranked expert, who said words are their bond, yet lenient when treating their own words.”
Liu Potian swallowed a mouthful of blood that got stuck in his throat, unable to go up nor down. The feeling of being wronged choked him and was extremely difficult to bear.
Who was it that told him that His Highness was coldly detached with killing intent and was ruthlessly cruel? Why was it that they didn’t inform him that this evildoer had such a poisonous tongue? His mouth seemed to be dripping with poisonous juices, as every sentence stabbed straight through a person’s heart.
