The emperor nodded: "Not bad. And today I have a son who comes to me specifically and asks me to invite you and Leng Jian at the same time to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Wu Yuehe's face changed, but Sun Ang seemed to be indifferent.

The emperor continued, "My son is very good. Others want to flatter Leng Jian, but none of them succeeded. Leng Jian always kept people from thousands of miles away. However, this son unknowingly made a promise to a fourth-level alchemy master with a promising future! I am very pleased."

Wu Yuehe's face was even more ugly. The emperor praised his son and Leng Jian, which was equivalent to belittled Sun Ang.

He looked at Sun Ang quietly, for fear that Sun Ang would be young and energetic, so he would not be able to bear it for a moment.

The emperor was also looking at Sun Ang, but found that Sun Ang was not angry, but instead showed a faint smile on his face. He couldn't help but slap his high-high and said, "Okay! I'm so young but so calm, I'm here right here."

Sun Ang then smiled.

The emperor said, "My son's little thoughts are not worth mentioning, but he thought that I didn't know what was happening in the city, so he underestimated me too much. He asked me to invite you two at the same time, just to give those short-sighted villains a chance to hit you in front of Leng Jian."

Sun Ang nodded: "This must be Leng Jian's idea."

The emperor also said, "I think so too. Don't worry, I won't give him this opportunity. Although Leng Jian is outstanding, I am the lord of the six ancient dynasties, and I still know some things. For example... some secrets about Tianjie."

Sun Ang was surprised this time, and couldn't help but look at the emperor, and then felt relieved: "Your Majesty has friends in Tianjie."

"Hahaha!" the emperor laughed and did not deny it: "From Longtiansheng to Sun Ningyuan, to you, your lineage is amazing! I am not those short-sighted idiots. I think Leng Jian will win. In my opinion, this competition has been longer. So, I am more optimistic about you!"

Sun Ang praised in his heart that it is not his opponent who can defeat a hero, only time. When a hero defeats time and extends his lifespan, he will become stronger, making all his opponents afraid and lose without realizing it.

He smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty's favor, I will remember it in my heart. Please rest assured that the Taihuang Dynasty will surely obtain the long-term friendship of my Sun family. Now, I hope Your Majesty can help me with a small favor."

"If you have anything, just talk."

"Your Majesty also asks you to obey the prince's wishes and invite me and Leng Jian at the same time."

The emperor was stunned: "You..."

Sun Ang smiled and said, "I admire Your Majesty's vision very much, but Your Majesty still misread it. Believe me, this competition will not take too long!"

...

King Song wore casual clothes and went to see Mr. Leng Jian quietly and truthfully explained his inference. But before Mr. Leng Jian could speak, a servant rushed in outside the door in a panic: "Young Master, someone from the palace, please accept the order!"

King Song hurriedly avoided, and Young Master Leng Jian received the order symbolically. Sure enough, His Majesty issued an order to invite the alchemy master. In addition to Young Master Leng Jian, the guests also included Sun Ang.

After the eunuch who was sent to the palace left, King Song walked out from behind the screen with great energy, laughed and bowed, "It seems that my father has also figured out how to choose between you and Sun Ang."

Young Master Leng Jian once again showed that reserved and proud smile: "This time I need your highness to help, the more guests at the banquet, the better!"

“This is absolutely fine.”

...

From the time the emperor announced that he would invite two alchemy masters at the same time, the wind direction in Taihuang City became even more one-sided. Almost everyone believed that His Majesty the Emperor chose to stand on the side of Young Master Leng Jian this time.

This itself is a very normal choice. Before, no one was optimistic about Sun Ang before, and then he felt that Young Master Leng Jian was the future of the alchemy master.

There were originally several major forces standing with the Wu family, but as soon as the news was announced, someone was shaken. Wu Yuehe could not make it clear, so he could only strongly suggest that he always maintained the position of these close-knit families.

And as Sun Ang expected, many "smart people" suddenly understood: this is a great opportunity for him to perform in front of Mr. Leng Jian.

However, even Wu Yuehe didn't understand what Sun Ang meant. Is he really so sure to defeat Mr. Leng Jian at the next work press conference? This is almost impossible.

The royal banquet was of course held on the royal territory. The emperor assigned a royal garden, Guanglin Garden, to be used as the venue for the banquet. His Highness Song volunteered to preside over the current affairs, and the old emperor agreed without hesitation.

King Song immediately began to jump up and down, sending a large group of people who wanted to curry favor with Young Master Leng Jian but never made any progress, all sent a post to invite him to the banquet.

So that night, there were endless carriages outside Guanglin Garden. The Imperial Guards and the powerful guards had many disputes. They were busy and in a mess. Hundreds of guests finally entered the banquet venue. The feast began in a grand and grand singing and dancing.

His Majesty the Emperor gave a symbolic drink with Mr. Leng Jian and Mr. Sun Ang, and then put down the wine glass to show that it was enough. The ministers did not dare to act rashly. The situation was a little dull, but after drinking a few more glasses soon, someone plucked up the courage to put His Majesty the Emperor aside and began to toast Mr. Leng Jian frequently.

Someone took the lead, and everyone immediately followed. There were people coming and going at the table of Mr. Leng Jian. The guest in front was still toasting, and the guests behind were already waiting with their glasses in their hands. Once they had free time, they rushed up immediately.

In the end, some people even fought for it, and everyone had no choice but to form a circle beside Mr. Leng Jian's table.

Young Master Leng Jian has a reserved smile on his face, which is neither cold nor hot, making people feel that he can talk a few words, but it is difficult to really get close to.

On the other hand, Sun Ang was deserted, and only the Wu family accompanied him to drink a few drinks. Sun Ang was calm and composed, and his conversation and laughing were very graceful.

Young Master Leng Jian always maintained this lukewarm attitude, which made some forces who were eager to get in touch with the alchemist master secretly anxious. Finally, someone couldn't help but look at Sun Ang.

A guest stood up suddenly, his face flushed, as if he was drunk. He took a step forward and knocked over the table in front of him with a thud.

His entourage beside him rushed up to stop him: "Master, don't be rude in front of you!" The man waved his hand suddenly and was filled with alcohol: "Get out!"

The follower dared not stop him, and looked around helplessly, as if he was really innocent.

The man grabbed the wine pot with one hand and walked towards Sun Ang shakingly. Wu Yuehe whispered in Sun Ang's ear: "The head of the Zheng family in the city, the Zheng family has increased significantly in recent years, and it is time for them to move from a second-rate family to a first-rate family. It is time for the Zheng family to seize all opportunities."

Sun Ang was secretly funny. This person was not stupid enough to be stupid and knew to pretend to be drunk. But in the middle stage of your life, you would get drunk after a few pots of wine? Who believes it!

The head of the Zheng family stared at a pair of red wine eyes and came to Sun Ang, squatted on the table with a loud bang: "Your Excellency, can you enjoy all the wine?"

Sun Ang said lightly: "No."

The head of the Zheng family happened to take advantage of the problem: "No? Tell me, so arrogant! Young Master Leng Jian is higher than you, has a higher status than you, and is more respectful to the wise and humble. He will clink cups with me one by one. What's so arrogant about you, a second-level alchemy master?"

Sun Ang looked at him with great interest: "What else do you have to say? Let's say it together. I'll give you a chance to show off."

The head of the Zheng family snorted: "What do you mean? I heard that you deliberately find fault and want to show off against Mr. Leng Jian, right? Isn't it? You're not saying you, you're young, you have to know how much you have!

Just you? You also want to shake the status of Young Master Leng Jian? Don’t joke, you are so overestimating your own abilities, just humiliating yourself.”

Sun Ang looked at Young Master Leng Jian in the distance. He seemed to have not noticed the situation here at all. He was still wearing white clothes and chatting with the guests in a proper manner.

But Sun Ang's spiritual sense could be noticed that almost 90% of his attention was on his side.

Sun Ang smiled and said to the head of the Zheng family: "Okay, you have finished your performance. Go back quickly. If you don't leave, the people behind can't wait, but you will come to drive you away."

The head of the Zheng family pretended not to hear what he meant and shouted angrily: "What did you say? I saw that you are still young and can still be saved. Then I told you with great sincerity, that I really don't know the hearts of good people."

His entourage came up quickly, and he spoke and persuaded him, and pulled him back.

As soon as the head of the Zheng family left, someone stood up again and said coldly: "Sun Ang, I miss you that you have made contributions to the human race before, so I advise you kindly.

You are targeting Mr. Leng Jian everywhere, and it seems that you lack the style of a general and are insulting your family. Young people, in the future, you will understand that you cannot win forever, nor can you surpass others forever. You will also have a day to be surpassed by others. For example, now, facing Lord Leng Jian, you must learn to accept reality."

One by one, he stood up and scolded Sun Ang in person for not deliberately scheduled the press conference of Mr. Leng Jian's works at the same time. Some said that he was overestimated and hit the stone with an egg, some said that he was petty and not generous enough, and some said that he had nothing to do to destroy the unity of the human race. It was really troublesome, and all kinds of rhetoric were wonderful.

Sun Ang whispered to Wu Yuehe and said, "Although I am mentally prepared, I really didn't expect that they could slander me from so many perspectives."

Wu Yuehe smiled bitterly: "Major General, why are you doing this?"

Sun Ang smiled slightly: "No, let's see who is the real villain."

His Highness Song saw that the temperature was almost done, and finally got up, came to Sun Ang, smiled and said sincerely: "Major General, Xiao Wang is very grateful for your contribution to the entire human race. No matter when you come to Taihuang Dynasty, you will be Xiao Wang's most honorable guest. Xiao Wang will definitely welcome you with great enthusiasm."

He changed his voice: "But, Xiao Wang can tell you clearly that on that day, I will only attend the press conference of Mr. Leng Jian!"

After he finished speaking, Shi Shiran turned around and felt like the most outstanding swordsman, with one blow and floating away.
