Chapter 1656: The More Pitiful, The Better

Zhu Ying wanted to borrow the power of his family to deal with Su Mo. However, he was unable to do so.

Firstly, the Zhu Family disagreed to his request. After all, in a place like the Red Dragon Camp, being defeated by another was completely normal.

Secondly, Su Mo had the support of the Eighth Prince and he was unordinary.

Nonetheless, Zhu Ying was vengeful and, in his opinion, he thought that Su Mo had purposely slapped him to humiliate him.

His heart boiled with rage the moment his eyes met Su Mo’s. As raging fires boiled in him, the killing intent surged out of him.

“Ying’er, what’s wrong?”

Among the two young men who had followed Zhu Ying into the garden, one wore a purple robe and had a cold face. Looking at Zhu Ying’s abnormal behavior, he curiously asked.

The other young man was burly and he wore a yellow robe. Similarly, his face was stone-hard and upsetting.

“Big brother, Senior Zhu Ming, he is Shangguan Hao!” Zhu Ying tilted his chin up and pointed towards Su Mo.

The two who had followed Zhu Ying were disciples of the Zhu Family. The purple-robed young man was Zhu Ying’s big brother, Zhu Tong while the yellow-robed young man was Zhu Ming.

“Oh, so that is him?” Zhu Ming and Zhu Tong immediately turned towards Su Mo and surveyed him.

However, the two did not bother much about Su Mo. Shangguan Hao was only a Rank 3 Martial Honorable and he was insignificant.

“Brother Zhu Tong, Brother Zhu Ming!”

“Haha, we are all late. We will drink a cup as an apology!”

“Long time no see, Brother Zhu Tong’s cultivation seems to have improved!”

At that point, many people had seen the three young man and they immediately rose and cupped their fists towards the three.

The Zhu Family was one of the three strong families in Saint Royal City. It was also the most powerful family in the Imperial Ancestor Court.

As the top talents of the Zhu Family, Zhu Tong, Zhu Ming and Zhu Ying were all highly respected by many.

Although Zhu Ying was defeated previously and had been humiliated, many people only snickered secretly at him. In front of him, they made sure to be respectful to him.

The three men quickly shifted their attention to Su Mo and greeted the crowd.

With that, the three men found three seats and sat down.

Su Mo saw that Zhu Ying wasn’t seeking trouble with him and was surprised. That was because the two men beside Zhu Ying were strong and Zhu Ying unexpectedly didn’t borrow their strength to teach Su Mo a lesson.

However, that was a good sign. Su Mo didn’t want to create a scene here.

With that, Su Mo continued to savor the wine by himself as he waited for the banquet to start.

Up until now, the Second Princess and the three princes had yet to arrive.

“Big brother, you have to help me teach Shangguan Hao a lesson today!

At a seat in a corner, Zhu Ying whispered to Zhu Tong. He could not live with the humiliation if Su Mo wasn’t put in his place.

“What kind of a lesson? You suggest it!” Zhu Tong mind-linked Zhu Ying. It was a simple matter for him to suppress a Rank 3 Martial Honorable.

In actual fact, he wanted Zhu Ying to rely on his own strength to regain his honor. However, since Zhu Ying asked him for help, he naturally couldn’t reject Zhu Ying as his big brother.

“The more pitiful, the better. The best is to completely humiliate him and ensure that he has no guts to face anyone again!” Zhu Ying mind linked Zhu Tong in reply as his face turned icy cold.

Although he really wanted Su Mo to die, he was not dumb and he knew that he couldn’t do so at such an occasion. The Eighth Prince’s men would not let him off.

“Mm! I got it!” Zhu Tong nodded his head. It was a small matter and he decided to brighten things up at the Second Princess’ banquet.

By then, he could humiliate and teach Shangguan Hao a lesson.

“Zhu Ying, why would you need Senior Zhu Tong to act for you over such a small matter? I can help you!” Zhu Ming overheard the two’s conversation and coldly laughed.

“That’s great too. Brother Zhu Ming, you can also help me!” Zhu Ying nodded his head. His brother’s cultivation rank was Rank 8 Martial Honorable Realm and it would be a snap of a finger for his brother to take care of Su Mo.

Zhu Ming helping him would be more than enough as well. Zhu Ming’s cultivation rank was Rank 6 Martial Honorable and Zhu Ming could take care of Su Mo easily as well.

Su Mo wasn’t sure of the scheme between the three men and he casually sipped the wine and tried the Spiritual Fruit.

Every seat had a sufficient bunch of Spiritual Fruits. The Spiritual Fruits were much more expensive than the Spiritual Wine.

Not long later, a young man wearing an official robe walked in to the ground. He had ten other martial artists following him from behind.

This man was the Eighth Prince, Gu Tianyi.

The group of men escorting Gu Tianyi were strong and there were even high-ranked Martial Honorables among the group.

These were supporters of Gu Tianyi or those that Gu Tianyi had been roped in to join him.

“Greetings to Eighth Prince!”

“Greetings to Eighth Prince!”

“Greetings to Eighth Prince!”

Gu Tianyi’s arrival brought many people out of their chairs as they immediately stood up to cup their fists towards the prince.

Even the supporters of the Third Prince, such as Zhu Ying, and the First Prince were no exception. After all, they had to be respectful to the princes.

Su Mo also stood up. Gu Tianyi had helped him a lot and he would hence be respectful to him.

“Hehe, everyone, at ease! Please sit!” Gu Tianyi glanced at the crowd and smiled.

“Thank you Eighth Prince!” The crowd called out in unison before they all took their seats.

Gu Tianyi glanced at Su Mo and nodded his head in acknowledgement. Then, he strode forward and sat down on a special seat in the northern side of the grounds.

Not only was there a high middle seat in the northern stands, there were 3 other special seats there as well.

These 4 seats were naturally for the Second Princess and the three princes. The highest middle seats were for the main character of the banquet, the Second Princess.

Very quickly, the Eighth Prince sat down on his special seat. The people who escorted him also sat down on the empty seats beside him.

As though the timings were arranged, the moment the Eighth Prince sat down, two other groups of people walked down the jade path in the garden.

These two groups of people were strong and there were around 30 men in each group.

The two young leaders of each group were both like Gu Tianyi as they wore official robes and carried a royal aura.

One of the young leaders was tall, around eight feet tall. With an average-looking face, his chin was as sharp as a sword and his eyes were as dazzling as stars.

The other young leader was no weaker and he had handsome features on his cold face. An invisible grand aura covered his body.

“Greetings to First Prince and Third Prince!”

“Greetings to First Prince and Third Prince!”

“Greetings to First Prince and Third Prince!”

The crowd once again stood and bowed towards the two young men. They were evidently more respectful towards the two compared to Gu Tianyi.

It seemed like the First Prince and the Third Prince had a better reputation and status compared to the Eighth Prince.

After all, the two princes were older and had a higher cultivation rank. Naturally, they were both stronger than Gu Tianyi.

Su Mo also stood and bowed. At the same time, he quickly surveyed the two princes as it was his first time meeting them.
