Chapter Eighty-One: The Crown Prince's Invitation

  Open the door, and a blue-robed U Qianqian stood outside the door.

  "Chu Yang, it's really you." Wu Xiangxiang's eyes were complex as she looked at Chu Yang. She never dreamed that Chu Yang would suddenly appear in Tiejun City. Moreover, he immediately caught the attention of the Crown Prince of Bu Tian.

  When Tie Butian asked her, Wu Qianqian didn't believe that the Crown Prince's Chu Yang was the same person she met in the Purple Bamboo Garden. Wu Qianqian thought it was just a coincidence of names.

  There was also a young man named Chu Yang.

  Ziyu Garden's Chuyang is indeed clever and resourceful, but his cultivation is too low, and he can't even be considered as a candidate for the Taizi Hall.

  But now, when this familiar face appeared in front of her, there was no more doubt.

  "Wu Shi Jie, how did you come?" Chu Yang asked with some surprise.

  "What, can't I come?" Wu Qianqian's face suddenly turned red as she spoke. She remembered what Du Shiqing had said to the prince: This young man's life is really pitiful. He fell in love with his senior sister, but his senior brother wanted to steal her away, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he killed his senior brother... Alas, what a pity for this talented person.

  Hmm, his senior sister, seems to be the daughter of the master of Tianwai Building...

  Wu Qianqian thought of this, her face suddenly flushed. The daughter of the master of Tianwai Building? Her father only had one daughter. Could it be that Chu Yang liked herself?

  How... abrupt this matter is...

  "Hmm, come on in, come on in." Chu Yang scratched his head and took a step back: "Please enter, Shifu."

  "You are no longer a disciple of my Tianwai Building, Father has already issued an order to expel you from the sect. The title of Shizi (senior sister) is not worthy for you." Wu Qianqian felt a little regretful, was Chu Yang expelled from the sect just like that?

  Also, Wu Qianqian wanted to use this sentence to pull the distance between them apart. Lest this guy would accidentally get entangled with her; this was Iron Cloud City. Once something happened, Chu Yang wouldn't care, but she would be damaging Tianwai Building's reputation.

  "Uh, then I'll call you little sister." Chu Yang patted his head and said: "It seems like you're older than me, so I'll call you Qianqian... sis?"

  Wu Qianqian's face turned red with anger and she scolded: "What are you doing with your oily tongue! Come with me quickly."

  "Go with you?"

  "The Crown Prince sent me to invite you, I really can't see what's good about you, and the Crown Prince specifically wants to meet you." Wu Qianqian gave him a white eye.

  "If he wants me to go see him, I won't go!" Chu Yang smiled calmly: "If you let you come invite me, I'll go."

  "Seeing" and "inviting" are two different things, which relate to the attitude of Tie Butian. Chu Yang has already created momentum, with several layers of his own news surrounding Tie Butian from all sides, shocking him with a single glance of sharpness and speed; Du Shiqing's tireless flattery, Tianbing Pavilion's irresistible temptation, and now, adding an introduction from Tielong City.

  Tie Longcheng will certainly make it clear to Tie Butian about this matter. Chu Yang is convinced of this. And Tie Longcheng's description will confirm another thing: his own inference, which is as clear as fire, and his unparalleled wisdom! His accurate judgment of the overall situation in the world, and his deep understanding of the Fifth Gentleman!

  All of this is related to the survival of the entire Iron Cloud Nation, and it's all connected to Iron Supplement Heaven's victory or defeat against Fifth Gentle! If Iron Supplement Heaven doesn't see him, that would be the biggest surprise.

  Chu Yang has been making arrangements layer by layer since he left Tian Wai Lou and joined Du Shi Qing's team, everything is for today!

  Today has finally arrived!

  At this critical moment, Chu Yang would naturally not give up this opportunity to improve his status.

  "Is it enough that the Crown Prince sent me to invite you?" Wu Qianqian said with a bad tone: "The Crown Prince knows I know you, so he specially sent me here. Moreover, there are ninety-nine ceremonial guards from the Crown Prince's mansion escorting outside the door. The carriage that came, is the Crown Prince's sedan chair; sixteen precious horses guarding on both sides, this is the treatment of a national guest! In the entire Iron Cloud Country in these years, no one has been able to enjoy such treatment!"

  "Oh?" Chu Yang was also taken aback. He had thought that Tie Butian would send someone to invite him, but he really hadn't expected it to be such a grand invitation!

  ………

  Chu Da Laoban sat unsteadily in the extravagantly decorated carriage, ahead of him were eight robust and majestic golden armored knights, four on each side clearing the way, riding white horses with snow-white coats, without a single stray hair.

  In the middle of the team, there were two golden armored knights guarding the carriage on either side. At the back of the team, there were four golden armored knights bringing up the rear. In addition, there were ninety-nine silver helmeted and silver armored soldiers, each with a straight body like a sculpture. As they marched along the road, their arms swung simultaneously, their feet lifted simultaneously, and they landed simultaneously. No matter which direction you looked from, it was a straight line, uniform to the extreme!

  Neat footsteps, soldier-like facial features, firm gaze, majestic formation, merged into a unique landscape.

  Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, making a calm and composed face, sitting solemnly. But in his heart, he was thinking: Grandma's, it's too powerful, when the world is at peace, I'll also form such a team, no matter where I go, I'll bring them along. How cool...

  However, although it felt cool, Chu Yang still held the curtains tightly. If he showed his face, Fifth Gentleman would probably know that Tie Butian had invited him by tomorrow... That wouldn't be a good thing!

  Safety first.

  ……

  "Mr. Chu has arrived, and Tian is deeply grateful. Please take a seat." Iron Tian was elegant and refined, wearing a white cloak that seemed to be untouched by dust, like a jade tree in the wind, with a warm and friendly smile.

  Unexpectedly, the place where Tie Butian received Chu Yang was actually the Bu Tian Pavilion. Moreover, along the way, not a single figure was seen. It seemed that their meeting was treated as an extremely secret matter.

  The place where they met was a small lake after the Buxiantai, with an island in the center of the lake and a pavilion on the island.

  The guards sent Chu Yang to the island and left.

  Chu Yang looked at Tie Butian with a calm and tranquil gaze, unruffled by either honor or humiliation.

  Can't help but say that Tie Butian's courtesy had once made him feel a rush of excitement. However, that feeling has now disappeared.

  If it were any other young punk of the same age, they might be so grateful that they'd shed tears and devote themselves to death. But Chu Yang was a freak who had gone through two lifetimes, and even having a slight fluctuation in his heart would be quite impressive.

  "Your Highness, I don't know why you summoned me, a humble subject. What are your orders?" Chu Yang asked calmly.

  "I dare not give orders; Mr. Chu is a great talent, and he should know that I met with you today for what reason." Tie Butian smiled lightly.

  "The common people are foolish and ignorant, they don't understand the prince's intention."

  Tie Butian let out a soft sigh, stood with his hands behind his back, and turned to gaze at the calm lake surface. He spoke in a light tone, "Mr. Chu comes from the Jianghu school; he should understand the layout of this world. The imperial court and the Jianghu may seem like separate worlds, but fundamentally speaking, they are from the same root, with no distinction between them."

  "If the imperial court is the dominant force, then the Jianghu is a sub-force!" Tie Butian said quietly: "It's called a sub-force because it's a substitute. Only when the ruling group becomes corrupt to a certain extent and the people are miserable, will heroes rise up and take their place."

  "And the emerging forces of the imperial court must originate from the rivers and lakes! Or with the help of some forces from the original imperial court, but the dominant force is the people from the rivers and lakes! After a series of changes, this group will form its own power, its own circle, its own rules of conduct, and those who ultimately succeed will become the master of the imperial court!"

  Chu Yang concentrated his mind and thought for a moment, then slowly nodded and said: "The Crown Prince's words are indeed true." He recalled that over the past few thousand years, the world had undergone many changes and upheavals; countless nations had risen and fallen, and it was indeed following this path.

  New regimes indeed rose from the grassroots. Although the vast majority perished, there were also many successes.

  If it is said that Chaotang is a way of evolution and progress in Jianghu, this statement... is also acceptable.

  ……………

  Think about it, guys. If I fill in all the plot holes you've mentioned in previous chapters, wouldn't that be boring? It would just become a manual. I'd basically be talking to myself. What's the point of having suspense then?

  Just read one chapter or a few chapters and can't wait to pick faults... then it's not reading books anymore.
