Chapter Forty-Two: A Performance for You

ut he happened to meet Fourteen's gaze.Jiang Wang: ...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!Fourteen: ...Chong Xuan Sheng was suppressing a smile in his heart, but to avoid gett...Hearing Jiang Wang's words, Jiang Wuqi did not show any anger but instead smiled happily: "Jiang Qingjie is both polite and virtuous, this palace is very pleased."

Everyone present could tell that his smile was genuine.

He wasn't being hypocritical; he truly thought that.

Jiang Wang stated that he only accepted the Emperor's favor, which was proper etiquette. Facing him, Jiang Wuqi did not show servility or arrogance, which demonstrated self-restraint and moderation.

When a talented person emerged from Qi, he was delighted, even if that person might not necessarily be of use to him.

Only those with a truly grand vision can consider problems in this way.

And there is a key point in his exclamation, namely "This Palace".

To call one "lone and solitary" is not exclusive to a ruler of a country.

A prince can also refer to himself as "孤". Both Jiang Wuyong and Jiang Wuqi have called themselves "孤".

Only the Lord of a single palace has the qualification to call himself "This Palace."

Generally, besides the Empress and concubines who have independent palaces, only the Crown Prince has the privilege of calling himself "this palace" because the Crown Prince is the master of the East Palace.

However, in the state of Qi, there were several exceptions. Besides the prince, three princes and princesses also had their own palaces, being regarded as symbols of eligibility for succession.

Among them, Jiang Wuqi is the master of Changsheng Palace!

"The words 'this palace' are a reminder to Jiang Wang—I am qualified to be heir apparent, so rewarding and punishing you both come from the same heart. You must bear this."

When Jiang Wuqi said that, Jiang Wang could only remain silent.

He couldn't say, What does it have to do with you

After all, this is Qi State. Jiang Wuqi does have a chance to succeed the throne. It's true that talents from Qi State are his concern.

After laughing, Jiang Wuqidi pondered for a moment before saying, "The humiliation I suffered in Nanyuan that day was also due to my fourteenth brother's lack of skill. Since Jiang Qing is so fearless and we meet here today, why not have another duel"

The meaning is very clear. After Jiang Wang disciplined Jiang Wu Yong before, he disciplined Jiang Wang today, so they are even.

It's not too bad.

Although Jiang Wuyong initiated the provocation in Nanyao City and suffered the consequences of his actions, within Qi State, and indeed throughout the entire world, the Jiang royal family held a certain privilege that allowed them to bypass conventional rules and logic.

Jiang Wang didn't make any futile excuses, and only drew his sword, saying: "As you wish, I dare not ask for anything else!"

This is exactly what I wanted, just didn't say it out loud!

Although I haven't reached the point of a battle maniac who delights in war, I am unafraid of combat.

Jiang Wuqi nodded in satisfaction, not turning back to look at the group behind him. He only asked: "Jiang Qing is famous on the battlefield, who can share this play with him"

A person stood out from behind: "I'll be the plaything for Your Highness!"

> is Zhang Yong.

It seems that the massacre changed him a lot. All the timidity and hesitation he had outside the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm seem to have been purged clean.

>

Now Zhang Yong has a deep-seated blood feud, an undisguised ambition, and the determination to fight anyone who stands in his way.

“Your Highness,” Li Longchuan’s brow gleamed with the light of the jade headband, making him appear even more imposing. “Yunwu Mountain is a place for recreation, and performing martial arts here would be inappropriate.”

Jiang Wang and a few others are here.

The Yan family was wealthy and prosperous for generations, but their true rise to prominence came with the statesman Yan Ping. The Linhai Gao family also only gained its renown after Jinggui Fei’s favor. In terms of true depth and heritage, they couldn't compare to the Li family of Shímen. As for Xu Xiangqian, needless to say, while the Qingya Academy was renowned throughout the land, it didn't necessarily mean that people from Qi would readily give it face.

Only he, Li Longchuan, could stop Jiang Wuqi.

Of course, speaking of relationships, Jiang Wang had visited the Marquis' mansion. Compared to Yan Fu and Gao Zhe, he was closer to Li Longchuan.

At this moment, someone behind Jiang Wuqi spoke: "Those who live in peace should think of danger. The founding of the state of Qi relied not on forbearance. What your Li family has passed down for generations is not for amusement. The more idle you are, the more you cannot forget martial arts!"

This person is tall and dignified, with an elegant and ancient air.

Li Longchuan recognized the person. He was a descendant of Gongsun Ye, a master figure of renowned family lineage, named Gongsun Yu.

Engaging in a verbal debate with him is almost impossible to win.

Moreover, his words concerning the Li clan of Shímen lacked sufficient respect.

Li Longchuan raised his sword eyebrows and said directly, "Why don't we fight here, to show that your Gongsun family hasn't forgotten martial arts!"

“No, no.” Gongsun Yu smiled faintly and shook his head. Such words were veiled threats, easily dispelled. He merely took them as a joke.

But Zhang Yong snatched the words, “Since Young Master Li Longchuan insists on stepping forward...”

He turned to Jiang Wuqi and asked, "Back then, the Zhang family of Fenxian and the Li family of Shímen were renowned throughout the land. Now, the descendants of the Zhang family are unworthy, and their influence has dwindled. In memory of our ancestors' bravery, I wish to challenge Li Longchuan's son to a duel!"

>

For Zhang Yong, gaining fame by defeating Li Longchuan would be far more effective than defeating Jiang Wangyi.

The most important point is that as long as people remember the history of that year, they will subconsciously compare the Fengxian Zhang family with the Shímen Li family.

For the Zhang family, who now had nothing left, this was undoubtedly the best way to raise their status.

As just Li Lung-chuan, he might not even bother with him on a normal day.

Gongsun Yu gave Zhang Yong a faint glance, but didn't speak again. This was just someone who had experienced the devastation of a massacre and desperately wanted to restore their family's glory; they didn't need to bother with petty matters.

Li Longchuan had even less reason to avoid battle. He took a step forward, ready to charge.

But Jiang Wang pressed down on him with one hand: "The Eleventh Prince is here to discipline someone from the Jiang family. Jiang Wang isn't disabled, and without a sword in his hand, there's no reason for Brother Li to take his place."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He took a stride and found himself standing outside the railing, amidst the clouds. Gazing at them from afar, he exuded an air of nobility.

“Come on, Zhang Yong! Perhaps we've fought in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, perhaps not. Today, let's continue our encounter here on Yunwu Mountain!”

At that time, those who went to explore the secrets of Tianfu were all temporary powerhouses within the Heavenly Transcending Realm.

While Zhang Yong was the only participant with only Zhou Tian realm cultivation, he was also the only winner with only Zhou Tian realm cultivation. To this day, many still believe that he was simply incredibly lucky.

>

But Jiang Wang had always looked down on him.

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

When Zhang Yong was only at the Zhou Tian realm, there wasn't. After he had already opened the Heavenly Gate and achieved the Tenglong realm, it would be even more so.

However, this battle was detrimental to Li Longchuan in every way.

Zhang Yong stepped up his position after winning, and there's nothing to boast about if he wins. After all, the Li family from Shímen are renowned for their talent. Winning against an unknown nobody is just par for the course.

It's not that he doesn't trust Li Longchuan's ability. Even he himself wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Li Longchuan. But since Li Longchuan considers him a friend and is willing to stand up for him, he couldn't let Li Longchuan take on this unnecessary risk.

Zhang Yong looked back at Jiang Wuqi.

Perhaps the wind was strong on the mountain, for Jiang Wuqi coughed several times in succession before stopping. He nodded.

As for Yu Jiang Wuqi, the lessons given to Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan have completely different meanings. It's unnecessary to overcomplicate things.

He wasn't a narrow-minded person, Li Longchuan would stand up for his friends, there was nothing that needed to be hammered out.

With Jiang Wuxi's permission, Zhang Yong also stepped into the Yunhai, facing Jiang Wang across the void.

Everyone turned to look at the sea of clouds.

At this moment, they stood high atop Yunwu Mountain. Looking down, the clouds and mist swirled below, obscuring houses and terraced fields from view.

On either side of the stand, spectators stood in the gallery.

And one after another, people coming up and down the mountain gathered together. Of course, not many were qualified to get close to Li Longchuan or Jiang Wuqi's circle.

Yan Fu looked at the churning sea of clouds, and seemingly casually asked, "Your Highness, why are you so free today to do this You're relentless in your pursuit, unlike your usual style."

When it comes to Yan Fu's usual demeanor, "aggressive" is already a rather severe description.

It seems they've been getting along very well lately, Jiang Wuqi thought to herself, feeling a touch of coldness. She tightened her fur cloak and said in a clear voice, "I must let him know that there are people outside of people, mountains outside of mountains, and one should not be too reckless in youth. Punishing him is also beneficial for him; it's both a punishment and a reward."

"Your Highness makes a good point, but…" Xu Xiangqian's voice suddenly interjected from the side: "It won't be easy to accomplish."
