Chapter 581: Trample and Face Slap (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Dark clouds filled the sky above the East Island. Under the dark sky, there was an oppressive atmosphere. It was just like Xiao Shi’s current mood. When he learned the entire matter from Xiang Zizhen, the veins on Xiao Shi’s face bulged one by one, and the anger in his eyes seemed to ignite him.
The actions of the martial pavilion and the prince completely infuriated him. He did not expect these people to be so shameless! Originally, when the Imperial Prince asked Xiang Zizhen to compete with Rong Sufei, the unfair treatment had already made Xiao Shi suppress a ball of anger in his heart.
They had just reversed the situation through their own efforts when the prince had violated the rules he had set back then and openly interfered.
This made Xiao Shi clearly realize that no matter how much merit he had, it could not compare to the prince’s own power. Be it Xiang Zizhen or Xiao Shi, they were filled with disappointment towards the entire Great Wu Empire.
Especially Xiang Zizhen. Ever since he was taken in as a disciple by Chen Yuan, he had been proud to be a member of the Great Wu Empire. Unexpectedly, he was actually treated so unfairly in the Great Wu Empire. Moreover, it was under the circumstances that he had made a huge contribution.
Although Xiao Shi did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Great Wu Empire like Xiang Zizhen, the treatment he received this time also made him furious. After all, he was the one who had really contributed. He originally thought that by giving the credit to Xiang Zizhen, Xiang Zizhen would be able to obtain the best reward.
Unexpectedly, even Xiang Zizhen was treated like this. It was hard to imagine if this credit was given to him, how would he be dismissed?
“He’s going too far!!” Xiao Shi’s eyes burned with anger. He had spent so much effort to reverse the situation, but now, because the prince wanted to balance the power, everything he had done previously was in vain. Ever since Xiao Shi stepped onto the path of a martial artist, he had never been bullied like this.
Xiang Zizhen could tolerate it, but Xiao Shi really could not! Even if the other party was the prince, Xiao Shi could not tolerate being trampled on like this. Subconsciously, he had the thought of revealing the other party’s hypocrisy.
The reason why the prince did not publicly bestow the Nandou Domain to Rong Sufei and supported him in such a roundabout and obscure manner was entirely because he was a person who valued his reputation.
If he ignored Xiang Zizhen’s request and directly bestowed the Nandou Domain to Rong Sufei, in the eyes of others, it was inevitable that they would question the Great Wu Empire’s reward and punishment system.
Under the circumstances where Xiang Zizhen had made such a huge contribution, he actually did not give him a region? Who would still contribute to the Great Wu Empire in the future then?
Therefore, on the surface, the prince had to be fair. It made others feel that the Great Martial Emperor had given Xiang Zizhen a fair chance to compete, but Xiang Zizhen could not win. This way, no one would question the prince.
Xiao Shi felt that if he revealed the competitive process this time and what the prince had done behind his back, It would definitely let the people of the Great Wu Empire see the true face of this prince.
But just as this thought appeared, Xiao Shi immediately dismissed it. He realized that there was not much point in doing so. After all, as the current ruler of the Great Wu Empire, the other party could more or less control public opinion. At that time, Rong Sufei would directly announce that before Xiang Zizhen came to the Nandou Domain, the prince had given him the Great Wu Seal.
It was very difficult for the public to tell if it was real or fake. One thing was certain. In terms of public opinion, they could not defeat the prince. And once they did that, it was equivalent to openly becoming enemies with the prince. They would definitely not be able to establish himself in the Great Wu Empire in the future.
“Forget it, we can’t defeat the prince.” Xiang Zizhen sighed. His expression was gloomy. “Master has already hinted very clearly that in the Great Wu Empire, we can only comply to the prince.”
Comply? Xiao Shi smiled. He really didn’t know how to do this! Especially after being trampled by the other party, it was even more impossible for him to comply with it.
Xiao Shi felt that he still had the same attitude. The more the other party did not want to give it to him, the more he wanted it! This was something that belonged to him. No one could take it away!
“If I say that… 1 can help you refine this Nandou Domain and refine it faster than Rong Sufei, would you dare to refine it?” Xiao Shi looked at Xiang Zizhen seriously and asked.
Xiang Zizhen’s body suddenly trembled. His pupils dilated bit by bit. “What… what did you say?” He looked at Xiao Shi blankly. He was not sure what he had just heard.
“I said… I can help you refine this Nandou Domain. Do you dare to refine it?” Xiao Shi repeated seriously.
Xiang Zizhen’s mind seemed to have billions of lightning bolts that exploded. He knew that since Xiao Shi dared to say this, he would definitely be able to do it. Although Xiao Shi was very unfathomable in his eyes, he did not expect him to be able to refine this Nandou Domain faster than Rong Sufei.
Rong Sufei is refining the domain under the conferment of the Great Wu Seal.. In the Imperial Domain, was there a way to refine this area faster than the conferment brought about by the Great Wu Seal?
