Chapter 1665: Gifts (2/2)
“Haha, what gift can a wandering cultivator like you possibly prepare on such short notice? Are you giving out ancient jade as well? That’s all just trickery” Yan Jinnan refused to stop “Besides, it’s unsightly to give the saift?” Jiang Chen had had enough of this clown He flicked over a cold glare
Yan Jinnan felt a chilly wind breeze past the back of his neck
Jiang Chen took out a jade gift box and put his two gifts inside
The ifts Yan Zhenhuai put his gift on the tray, the others following suit as well The tray then cahtly and offered his jade box
The lanced at him curiously “Who is this, Sir Zhenhuai?” He was rather taken aback They’d issued only six invitations to House Yan Why were there seven people at the table?
“This is our newest allied young genius”
TheChen had given a gift All of the gifts were brought back to the stage
Jiang Chen’s gifts were two jugs of wine - Drunken I Liquor The tere completely different styles of alcohol Back in the human domain, he’d treated reclusive empyrean experts to the tines Even on such an occasion, they orthy gifts
Yan Jinnan scoffed at Jiang Chen, finding the wandering cultivator pretentious “Your lastI hope you won’t eh He retorted, “You should take care not to embarrass us, Yan Jinnan You’re in no place to worry about others You’ve done quite enough to shae”
Yan Jinnan’s face flushed red That had becoht about it, he realized that he’d rave mistake Xiahou Xi’s death made his actions even uests e one table at a ti the croith a poised shter of nobility
However, Jiang Chen didn’t hold a high opinion of her
“Xiahou Ying’s one of the sixteen beauties, brother,” Yan Qingsang explained seriously “She’s always styled herself as the raceful one out of the sixteen wo Chen threw her a glance She was as overweeningly haughty like a proud, white swan He knehere she cah She was loved and spoiled by everyone around her Very few young women would be able to remain humble in her shoes
He was the way he was only because he was living his second life Even so, his eot the better of him sometimes and caused him to make a different decision
Thus, it was natural for Xiahou Ying to be a little arrogant, vain, and pretentious at her age
Nonetheless, it was ridiculous for someone with her personality to think of herself as the best of the sixteen beauties No ine anyone considering Xiahou Ying better than Huang’er
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but he believed that Huang’er was objectively the better woifts were delivered into Xiahou Ying’s hands She sloent through the didn’t care if the girl liked his gift He’d be happy as long as his gift wasn’t a the bottom three
She finally made a decision after some deliberation
“Quiet, quiet After careful consideration, Miss Ying has chosen her favorite and least favorite gifts!
“Her third least favorite gift is the bolt of blue silk The blue is too dull and lifeless The color is displeasing to the eye
“Her second least favorite is this marble It’s incredibly old-fashi+oned and doesn’t fit her iift? These two ancient scrolls! Yes, the ancient scrolls!” The master of ceremonies sucked in a breath as if he could barely suppress his rage “Our Miss Ying isn’t object to ancient scrolls in general, but these scrolls are counterfeits! The giver’s character is questionable!” His sharp gaze settled on House Yan’s table
Jiang Chen paused It seeainst House Yan
