"Swish-swish-swis.h.!.+"

Innumerable experts immediately stood up while they looked at Jiang Yi with imposing aura. On the side of the lane, an aged veteran with white hair the length until his waist suddenly appeared. The Vajra Realm Consecrator of the Great Xia Kingdom had actually appeared, and if Jiang Yi dared to make a move, he would instantly be eliminated.

"Patrol Envoy Jiang, why are you standing up for? Did you possibly prepared some gift for this Princess?"

A clear and loud voice echoed in this state of mutual hostility that might even start a war at any moment.

Once this sound resonated, the killing aura on Jiang Yi suddenly vanished without a trace. His extremely gloomy expression suddenly revealed a smile as he paused and nodded. "If it is the marriage of Princess Ruoxue, this Envoy naturally has to express some generosity!"

"Hu-Hu!"

A lot of people in the palace hall silently let out a breath of relief, especially the officials of the Great Xia Kingdom. If Jiang Yi was to make his move, they had no choice but to kill him; and once that happened, the Great Xia Kingdom would have completely offended the Azure Dragon Empire. It would be best if Su Ruoxue was able to suppress Jiang Yi, but there were many people that were suspicious of why Jiang Yi would listen to Su Ruoxue?

The Vajra Realm Consecrator took a glance at Jiang Yi before he quietly concealed himself into the back of the palace hall, but he wasn't too far away. As soon as Jiang Yi made any strange movements, he would kill mercilessly.

Ling Qiang and Ling Jian's back were drenched in sweat again, praying in their hearts and hoping Jiang Yi would do any reckless actions. If Jiang Yi was to be killed, they would probably suffer the same fate, too.

Jiang Yi paused for a moment before the Fire Spirit Pearl flashed as two jade boxes appeared in his hands. He glanced across everyone's face including Xia Wuhui and finally ended at Su Ruoxue. He then laughed indistinctly and said, "Isn't the Divine Martial Kingdom too miserly? Only gifting one piece of celestial stone to marry a Princess? This Envoy shall give two! With Princess Ruoxue's exceptional talents—if she is to properly cultivate, she will definitely be a martial expert in the future."

"Swis.h.!.+"

Jiang Yi's hand moved, throwing two jade boxes over, while Su Ruoxue caught it with one hand, revealing this astonished expression. She wanted to say something but ultimately remaining silent.

"Huh…"

There another uproar again. Jiang Yi was so generous? This celestial stone was extremely rare, and a single piece was equivalent to numerous pieces of Fire Lingzhi. This item was priceless, and even if it had a price, there wasn't any supply.

There were many who were doubtful of Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue's relations.h.i.+p, but they were even more bewildered now. The people here were smart and quickly understood the situation. Su Ruoxue had always been in Mt. Spirit Beast College, and Jiang Yi was the no.1 cadet of Mt. Spirit Beast College. It was understandable for a talented cadet and a beautiful mentor to develop some feelings after a period of time. However… weren't their relations.h.i.+p a little dubious? And this gift was overly generous, right?

Xia Wuhui held in a stomach of flames. He had nearly gone crazy over these few days, and right now, Jiang Yi actually slapped his face again? Giving such a valuable item to Su Ruoxue in front of everyone? If it was any other man, they wouldn't be able to endure this humiliation as well. Xia Wuhui looked at Jiang Yi with bitter resentment and spoke, "Patrol Envoy Jiang sure is generous, huh? Why not give your Fire Dragon Sword, too?"

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Yi laughed loudly and mocked, "Are you the one marrying the bride or am I? Why not give your bride to me, then? Don't even mentioned the Fire Dragon Sword—I can even give all the artifacts I have to the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Immoral, scoundrel… unrefined!

Countless officials immediately rolled their eyes white while Xia Wuhui was so angry that he was trembling and nearly fainted with foam in his mouth.

What was this occasion? Who was attending this banquet? Jiang Yi was presenting himself like a scoundrel and had an unrefined behavior. What did he treat this place as? A food market?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Su Diw.a.n.g was afraid that Jiang Yi and Xia Wuhui would have another conflict; hence, he quickly stepped in to mediate. "Alright, alright! Envoy Jiang's gift of two celestial stone is very generous, and we are indebted to you for regarding my daughter highly. This King can't thank you enough. We will definitely return our gifts in the future as a token of appreciation, and we hope Envoy Jiang will not dislike the gifts."

"Return of gifts?"

Jiang Yi's eyes lit up and didn't want to continue bickering with Xia Wuhui as he replied, "Ke-Ke, this is just this Envoy's blessings. The imperial court has more generous gifts to offer."

Jiang Yi gave a signal to Ling Qiang with his eyes while he tactfully went outside the palace hall, asking for a few men to bring in dozens of boxes of gifts. Jiang Yi then stood up and stated, "King Su, His Majesty truly views you in high regards uh. Look at all the gifts? The other kingdoms never had such a treatment."

"Indeed, indeed! Many thanks to His Majesty for generosity. Diw.a.n.g is ever grateful."

It was true that the Azure Dragon Empire had never offered any gifts. Even when the various Kings ascended to their throne ten thousand years ago, they would at best send a single person to attend the ceremony. This time, the Empire actually prepared so many gifts, which caused Su Diw.a.n.g to feel pampered and surprised, as though he had gained much reputation in front of all the special envoys. His entire face was smiling like a blossomed flower.

Hundreds of people in the palace hall looked at one another when they saw the dozens of boxes. What did this Azure Dragon Empire want? They were considered the ruler of the continent in name, and it was already good enough for them to send someone to come attend a kingdom marrying off a daughter. They actually brought along so many gifts? This array of gifts was even more generous than the betrothal gifts offered by the Divine Martial Kingdom.

Ling Qiang and Ling Jian felt a little gloomy as well. These gifts were prepared according to Jiang Yi's orders and were all ordinary items; there wasn't even a single heaven artifact in there—everything wasn't worth much.

They initially thought that Jiang Yi wanted to offer these gifts on his own name, but he actually used the Azure Dragon Empire's name under false pretenses. The two of them had no idea what Jiang Yi was planning.

Jiang Yi soon revealed his plan as he quietly leaned over towards Si Diw.a.n.g and whispered, "King Su, this Envoy doesn't need you to return any gifts to me. But you still have to do something for the Empire, right? After all, the Empire has never offered any gifts before; and if you don't return some gifts… where would the Empire put their face at?"

"Indeed, indeed!"

King Su nodded and treated like it was something that ought to be done as he nodded seriously, "Envoy Jiang, don't worry. This King will definitely make the Empire… and you satisfied. I hope Envoy Jiang would offer a few praiseworthy statements to expression this King's loyalty towards the Empire."

"King Su is wise and brilliant. The Great Xia Kingdom will surely flourish under King Su's rule, and your name shall be left in the history books as a wise ruler for throughout the ages."

Jiang Yi gave a few flattering statements and sweet-talked along the way before he quietly handed over a handbook without a trace. He smiled with narrow eyes and said, "King Su, these are the things that His Majesty and Princess Ling Xue like. If you can return the gifts with these items, I think that His Majesty and the Princess will be delighted."

"Eh…"

When Su Diw.a.n.g and many experts—who had an insane hearing ability—heard this proposal, their faces immediately changed as they looked at one another.

Returning of gifts was a very common practice, and various clans also did that for one another. In some cases, the prominent figures might even offer concubines and maids as well. Wherever there were people around, there would be interpersonal connections; and offering gifts was the simplest way of communication while the returning of gifts was a form of respect as well.

The problem was… offering a gift came from one's own intention!

The returning of gifts should also be left to others' free will!

When did anyone behave like Jiang Yi? The gifts that he offered were obviously to ask for returning of gifts for the Empire? Furthermore, there was even a list of items for the return of gifts? Was this return of gifts for the Empire or for himself? Everyone knew this clearly.

Jiang Yi was plundering with authority.

"Soul-Subduing Herb!"

Su Diw.a.n.g opened the handbook and had a change in expression. If Xia Wuhui heard what Su Diw.a.n.g said, it would have made things even more evident that this was Jiang Yi's purpose for coming here today.

He was going to plunder the Soul-Subduing Herb in broad daylight!
