Chapter 381 - 186: Summoning_2
A group of elders at the Tianyafu Residence were getting disgruntled.
They thought that those who were at a similar level of power would all be eligible to get an audience.
However, upon reaching the Tianya Building, they were barred by a group of guards dressed in blue. The guards stared at them blankly, refusing to let them break the rules at will.
"His Highness has commanded first to summon the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons and the Eight Battleaxes. As for the others... that will be decided later."
"You guys should just stay here. We have the royal tea here. Drink more tea, chat less, and mind your words."
Half explanation, half threat. The students who didn’t care much at the beginning started to feel irritated inexplicably.
Young as they were, not having gone through many harsh experiences, these students were inclined to follow their emotions and thoughts.
Luckily, there were many mentors gathered at the Tianya Building such as Zhang Ziyue and Zhou Yi, who were waiting for news.
As soon as they noticed there was a disagreement, they stepped in immediately, smoothing over the minor disturbance.
"The members of the royal family do indeed have quite an arrogance."
Once they were a sufficient distance away, Zhao Dong snorted coldly, also showing some discontent:
"They are the cause of the big ruckus and now they’re acting high and mighty, it’s annoying."
"Alright, let’s talk less."
Elder Shan tried to mediate:
"I’m guessing this is about the Five Academy tournament. This is the most reasonable assumption."
"Not only does our headmaster hope to win the tournament as the first among the Five Academies, the royal family of the Blue Frog Kingdom probably has the same idea as well."
"I agree." said Elder Xu contemplatively. "This time, our overall strength at Canghai Pavilion is extraordinarily dominant, reaching the highest level ever."
"The top three are all exceptional, and the Ten Heavenly Proud Sons are not ordinary either. We indeed have a good chance to defeat Forest Park, breaking their long-standing monopoly as the number one powerhouse."
Before the conversation ended, a wriggling ghost shadow suddenly drifted towards them.
Ji Yan whipped up a green wind, the others immediately stayed silent and turned towards that direction.
"Greetings to all the mentors from the Canghai Pavilion."
A sharp voice, indistinguishable between male and female, resounded. As the ghost shadow dispersed, an elderly man adorned in brocade robe appeared on the spot.
He was standing with a lanhua gesture, his gaze wandering slightly, immediately focusing on Ye Hanjun:
"This must be the famous Master Han?"
"Prince Tang Sheng said, whether the rest can meet him or not, will be discussed separately."
"But regardless, Master Han must meet him... Please follow this old servant."
In just three short sentences, Zhao Dong, Wang Yuan and the others were taken aback.
The name of Master Han had already been known inside the royal court?
"Thank you, please lead the way."
Ye Hanjun met Ji Yan’s gaze, nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine and there was no need to worry.
Then, the old eunuch’s Contracted Spirit – a ’Phantom Ghost’ of a Jade Infant Great Completion, emitted a wisp of ghost smoke, enveloping Ye Hanjun like a piece of gauze.
"Woosh~~~"
He no longer needed to walk. The scene around him sped backwards.
The feeling was somewhat similar to when The Darkest Demon Eye was activated, yet the actual effect was completely different.
Ye Hanjun did not enter the cloud ladder, and directly flew up from the side of the Tianya Building.
The old eunuch led him to cross several hundreds to thousands of meters, entering the sub-top floor.
When the ghost shadow disappeared, what appeared before him was a luxurious reception room with no one inside.
"Please wait, the two princes should still be meeting with the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons and the Eight Battleaxes. Once they finish handling the things over there, they will summon you immediately."
The old eunuch reminded him in a leisurely manner, wearing an eerie smile.
"Sir, what is the true purpose of the princes summoning me?" Ye Hanjun tried to inquire.
"Don’t rush, you’ll know in a bit."
The old eunuch was tight-lipped, refusing to give a direct response.
Hence, Ye Hanjun started to sip tea. The so-called royal tea did have some appeal, as it was pleasantly cold to the taste, refreshing his mind as if he had taken a short nap.
About half an hour later, a refreshing laughter echoed through the room. The old eunuch bowed his head respectfully, then retreated back into the shadows with an inscrutable smile.
"Click~~~"
The door opened. The first to enter was a pot-bellied nobleman.
Following him was a beautifully dressed woman, with an air of extreme opulence.
"So this is Master Han? You truly live up to your reputation!"
"I am Prince Tang Sheng, this is my sister, Princess Qi Ling. We’ve long heard about Master Han back in the palace, and we hold you in high regard!"
Although Tang Sheng was portly, he carried with him the aura of an elite when he walked.
Princess Qi Ling took a glance at Ye Hanjun and her delicate face showed a hint of interest. She jestingly commented:
"I did not expect the legendary Master Han to look like this, it is indeed surprising."
"Greetings to both Highnesses." Ye Hanjun bowed slightly in salutation.
His attention was on the two of them for only a moment, but his main focus was on the three figures standing behind them.
The most familiar of course, was Du Yuanjia. He had met this old man several times, and could recognise him immediately from the moist and cool fluctuations of the Water Element even from a distance.
The second should be the headmaster of Tianyafu Residence, Qingyi.
Supposedly, this headmaster was around the same age as Du Yuanjia, but she had taken drugs to slow down aging.
From her appearance, she still looked like a charming woman.
Even though her beauty was average, her elegant temperament radiating from within made her more approachable than Princess Qi Ling.
"Aba Aba..."
