The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 144
Ling Han could be one of the trump cards in the Third Imperial Prince's hands, but why was he so quick to play this card?
That was because it was now the most important period of competition for the throne. The guests he invited tonight were all outstanding young men from the various middle-class clans in the Imperial City. If they declared their loyalty to him, it would be the same as obtaining the approval of their clan.
Don't underestimate this clan. The several hundred middle-class clans put together could have considerable influence. Most importantly, the Eight Great Clans were simply too outstanding. Whichever Imperial Prince was crowned Emperor, they were still the Eight Great Clans, neither advancing nor condescending. On the other hand, every Rain Emperor still had to play the role of mediator well in order to maintain the peace between the Eight Great Clans. It is the responsibility of their government.
As a result, it was impossible to attract one of the Eight Great Clans to his camp. Thus, the Third Imperial Prince could only focus on the middle-class clans. Why are there only thirty freaks tonight? It was because the other middle-class clans had been divided between his camp, the Eldest Imperial Prince, and the Seventh Imperial Prince. All that remained were these clans who still had not decided who to support, and were waiting for the best offer.
Lastly, whichever Imperial Prince ascended to the throne, the clan that had supported the wrong camp would definitely be eliminated by the other clans. It was even impossible for them to be forced out of the Imperial City in secret.
When they heard that Ling Han really had two Black Class high-level Grandmaster alchemists behind him, everyone could not help but reveal expressions of astonishment.
That's too awesome, isn't it?
However, due to their prominent alchemist status, they would usually not interfere in the power struggle on their own initiative. Now, looking at the extremely friendly relationship between Ling Han and the Third Imperial Prince, does that mean that the Third Imperial Prince has gained the support of these two accomplished Grandmaster Alchemists?
Heaven, it'll be very serious. With the support of these two outstanding bosses behind him, even if the current Rain Emperor already had a candidate in mind for the position of his heir, the, he might have to reconsider his decision to avoid these two accomplished Grandmaster Alchemists who did not cooperate and made things difficult for the Imperial Family when the new Emperor was crowned.
In the competition for the imperial throne, the Third Imperial Prince had a slightly higher chance of emerging victorious, and now, suddenly, two great bosses appeared to support him. . . he is practically guaranteed to win.
With such thoughts in mind, these young people instantly became extremely excited, and lowered themselves to the lowest level.
In the beginning, even though they were in the position of subjects, there was still a proud aura in their bones since he was the one who wanted to attract them to his camp! But everything is different now. Now that they knew the Third Imperial Prince's "trump card", these people took the initiative to become closer to him.
They were both Black Grade high-level chemists. If the two of them were to just dispose of any kind of alchemy medicine, it would be enough for them to go crazy.
When the Third Imperial Prince saw this scene, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. This is what he wanted to see. He could not wait to play this card, as the current Rain Emperor had the intention to abdicate to put all his focus on his studies of martial arts. At most within five years, the Emperor wanted his heir to inherit the throne, so the Third Imperial Prince had to make the most of his time.
"Hahahaha, let's have a drink!" The Third Imperial Prince raised his wine cup and instantly, everyone also raised his wine cup. When the Third Imperial Prince finished his cup, the others would not dare to leave the wine in their own cups, and spend their cups as well. After the Third Imperial Prince sat down, they all returned to their seats.
The Third Imperial Prince was now satisfied with his achievements. This place was only the Cherishing Flower Pavilion, but in the near future, in the imperial palace, there would be more high-ranking people who respected him and were subject to his power.
The female servants began to fill the wine in everyone's glasses. Why is the Cherishing Flower Pavilion so expensive? It was because this female servant was not only extraordinarily beautiful, but had a very elegant demeanor. Some of them were even at the Elemental Gathering Level, and for men to have this female servant to accompany them in drinking fulfilled the natural innate desire of men to conquer.
Ling Han is the brightest star tonight. He had beauties on both sides accompanying him for a drink, and both of them were at the Element Gathering Tier. One had to know that these two beautiful women were young ladies in their twenties, yet they had already stepped into the Element Gathering Tier. They were extremely talented in the first place, but at the same time, they also needed a large amount of resources to be able to reach this level.
These two women had undergone rigorous training, and they spoke very softly and moved very lightly and elegantly. What is even more remarkable is that they are very good at observing the facial expressions and movements of others. Ling Han just needed to take a look around, and they would know which dish Ling Han wanted to sample, and soon, they would take the initiative to send a bite-sized portion of the dish to Ling Han's mouth.
Such a lively array was clearly enough to cause any young man to lose all composure, and easily fall into such a gentle trap. However, what kind of mental strength did Ling Han possess? As the saying goes, he could pass through the field of flowers, yet not a single leaf stuck to his figure. Her heart would not be bothered by any woman, no matter how beautiful she was.
Ling Han had the support of the two great alchemy bosses behind him, so naturally he became someone everyone wanted to get help with. However, Ling Han did not seem to have the intention to pay too much attention to these people. He had only occasionally spoken to the Third Imperial Prince, Li Hao, and Zhu Xue Yi. The rest of the time, he would just concentrate on enjoying his meal.
It's very normal. In his last life, he was the only Alchemy Emperor, so how could he have the patience and mood to deal with the little brats who thought that they were so outstanding?
No one else thought that there was something strange about the proud way Ling Han was doing, because alchemists were indeed such proud people. If Ling Han did not show such arrogant behavior, they would think it was strange.
When they saw that Ling Han was not approachable, they naturally turned their attention to Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi. They were all earnestly looking for the company of the two, causing Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi to feel overwhelmed.
Just now, a mere young master from a small clan would dare to insult and humiliate them, yet now, there were so many young masters from middle-class clans who were all struggling to befriend them! The two of them could not help but look at Ling Han with gratitude. All this was because of Ling Han.
The Third Imperial Prince saw that Ling Han was only eating and drinking, and unlike the others who took the opportunity to chew on the female servant beside them, and asked, "Brother Ling, are you not satisfied with these two beauties?"
When they heard these words, these two beautiful women instantly revealed an annoyed expression, their beautiful appearance was very heartwarming. Even if one knew very well that they were just playing together, one could not help but feel gentle towards them.
"Haha, if Brother Ling thinks they are not gentle enough, then why not ask Zi Yan to accompany you?" asked the Third Imperial Prince suddenly.
Zi Yan's face instantly changed, and her body trembled slightly. His eyes were filled with hatred. He didn't do the show, but really felt sad. He thought that he had a high place in the heart of the Third Imperial Prince, but never thought that he was still just a card he could play.
The hearts of Li Hao and Zhu Xue Yi both accelerated in this regard. Previously, Zi Yan had been so majestic and imposing in front of them, yet now, she still had to accompany Ling Han for a drink. This gap was too big for them to accept.
Ling Han smiled, and asked, "Are you willing, Miss Zi Yan?"
Zi Yan's figure trembled again, but she replied, "Zi Yan is willing."
However Ling Han shook his head, and said, "A man won't pick up another person's favorite. Miss Zi Yan belongs to the Third Imperial Prince, so it's better if you stay by the Third Imperial Prince's side!"
Zi Yan immediately looked grateful for this. He naturally would not dare to disobey the Third Imperial Prince's orders, but if he could escape from this calamity, his impression of Ling Han increased tremendously. However, he had also gained a new understanding of the Third Imperial Prince.
Given the throne, anyone would only be a pawn that he could use, and if he continued to follow so blindly, what sort of suffix awaited him?
He's clearly confused.
"Hahahaha, Third Imperial Prince, I arrived late. Can I come in?" it was at this moment that a clear voice was heard from outside, and this voice had a very strong air to it.
The Third Imperial Prince's expression changed slightly, and exclaimed, "Feng Yan!"
