Chapter 291: Royal court heated debate

The main hall of the Southern Summer royal palace.

There were several dozen top characters gathered.

Up on the jade throne atop the nine high jade steps, there sat the king, who had the greatest authority in the Southern Summer Country.

Three luxurious thrones stood at the bottom of the nine steps that were placed atop seven jade steps which were the seats of the Southern Summer Three Rulers.On the left was the Refined Ruler, on the right the Burning Sun Ruler, and in the middle the Calm Martial Ruler. All three rulers were present at this time.

“Scholar Chu Tian has arrived!”

A loud voice rang through the hall.

The attention of all these top characters were attracted.

Everyone looked over at a white clothed youth, bravely striding into the hall with no fear.He was much younger than everyone imagined, with eyes that burned like torches, like cold stars in the empty night.His expression was very natural and his movement was very relaxed, not feeling any bit of nervousness.

This was the famous Central State Chu Tian?

Everyone began to discuss in whispers.

The Calm Martial Ruler gave a slight nod.The Refined Ruler narrowed his eyes, but while his expression did not change, a light suddenly appeared deep within his eyes.The Burning Sun Ruler had the greatest reaction, angrily glaring at Chu Tian walking over.

Of the three rulers, the Burning Sun Ruler was the one who lacked the most subtlety.

Chu Tian truly could not understand how this fellow was able to receive one of the ruler seats.

Under the king and the Three Rulers, there were the most important ministers of the Southern Summer Country.

The leader was the great scholar Gu Qianqiu and the rest were all large family leaders.When Chu Tian walked in, at least a dozen of them looked at him with gazes filled with hostility, as if Chu Tian posed a great amount of threat on the Southern Summer Country.

“Bold Chu Tian!”

A severe voice came from the highest point in the main hall.The voice was deafening, causing people to feel faint, like the voice of heaven coming from the sky.

After this, a mountain like pressure fell right onto Chu Tian.

It was royal prestige!

How could a king not have strength as a deterrent?Not to mention if the Southern Summer King’s cultivation base was high, even if he had a normal cultivation, being able to sit on the throne for many years was enough for him to train his royal prestige.

But what did a king count for?Not to mention a small king, even the emperors of the great empires on the continent had be courteous to him when he visited in his past.That was even thirty thousand years in the future. The kings in the present era were not even qualified to help them put on their shoes.

Chu Tian was not affected by the royal prestige at all, but at this time, he should give the Southern Summer King a bit of face.After all, there was no advantage to offending the Southern Summer King at this time. So, instead of displeasing everyone, he made an exaggerated bow, “This subordinate deserves ten thousand deaths, I ask the king to punish me!”

“The wrongs you committed in Central State, since someone has spoken up for you to this king and looking at your merits in Thunder State and Qing State, this king will not quibble with you.”The Southern Summer King stared at Chu Tian with rage, “But when you received the royal proclamation, you did not immediately enter Imperial City! Do you treat the royal proclamation as a joke!After arriving in Imperial City, you did not immediately come see this king! Do you treat this king as a joke! You have even seriously injured the Wang Family’s little young master! Do you treat Imperial City’s laws as a joke!Tell me, do you deserve death!”

“Ke, ke!”Gu Qianqiu gave a few coughs, “My king, there must be some misunderstanding with this matter.Let’s first listen to Chu Tian’s explanation.”

“Explanation my ass!”The Burning Sun Ruler’s temper exploded, “Even if the king does not trouble him, this ruler wants to ask you something.You incited my family’s descendant to fight an elder and even seriously injured a head elder of my family, how will you explain this matter to this ruler!”

This old man!

Chu Tian looked over at the Burning Sun Ruler, “This matter is unrelated to Nangong Yun, it was all done by me.Nangong Zhi was filled with wild ambition, wishing to gain everything for nothing. He wanted the entirety of Miracle Commerce, what a wild dream.”

“What nonsense!”The Burning Sun Ruler stood up from his seat and a burning hot aura quickly filled the hall, “Nangong Zhi was clearly giving you generous terms, what gaining everything for nothing!”

“Generous terms?Ha, ha, ha!” Chu Tian no longer pretended to be humble.He stuck out his chest and looked up, staring at the Burning Sun Ruler, “My Miracle Commerce is worth more than your Nangong Family.I want to ask the Burning Sun Ruler, if you give me the Nangong Family, I’ll let you be a junior chairman if you work for Miracle Commerce for ten years.Are you willing!”

“Audacious!”

The Burning Sun Ruler clenched his fists and flames soared into the sky.He was like a tiger descending the mountain as he prepared to charge at Chu Tian.

“Everyone look!”Chu Tian innocently waved his hand and quickly said, “In this kind of situation, whether it is the prestigious Burning Sun Ruler or a small person like me, they would have the same reaction.”

The Burning Sun Ruler almost went crazy with rage, “Do you think I won’t move against you?”

“This is the royal palace!”The Calm Martial Ruler coldly said, “Does the Burning Sun Ruler not understand rules?”

The Burning Sun Ruler gritted his teeth, “No matter what, Nangong Family members will be governed by the Nangong Family.Let Nangong Yun come back!”

“What if I’m not willing?”

“You……”

The Refined Ruler suddenly said, “Matters between families even my king would not mettle in.You should not act so overbearing!”

“I certainly won’t interfere with your family matters, but Nangong Yun is an employee and has a contract with the company!”Chu Tian said this and his voice changed, “How about this? It’s fine if I let her leave, but the Nangong Family has to pay a penalty fee first.It’s not much, just a few billion gold coins!”

Several billion gold coins?

The Burning Sun Ruler almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

The Southern Summer King knit his brows, “Alright, leave it here today.Let’s not talk about this branch family matter any further. Your Nangong Family matters can be discussed in secret, this is the royal court!”

The Burning Sun Ruler could only grit his teeth and sit down.

“This brat!”

Gu Qianqiu wiped away some sweat.

Chu Tian really wanted to die, actually inciting the Burning Sun Ruler.The Burning Sun Ruler’s old face was red with rage, but knowing that the great scholar and the Calm Martial Ruler would protect him, it was no use if he was angry and he could only hold back for now.

The Southern Summer King coldly said, “What do you want to say?”

Chu Tian continued explaining, “This delay can’t be mentioned in the first place.The royal proclamation only said to come as soon as possible, but it did not set a time. On the road to Imperial City, I met a bit of trouble that caused me to be delayed.”

A minister suddenly stood up, “What a glib tongue.If everyone were as eloquent as you, what use would the Southern Summer Country laws have?”

“That’s right, do you dare talk about what matter you met on the road and let everyone know why you disobeyed this order?!If not, then you’re looking down on my king!” A purple armoured general stood up, “Also the matter of you beating Wang Yuan, my Wang Family still hasn’t settled accounts with you!”

Chu Tian was happy when he saw the other side, “As for the matter of beating Wang Yuan, I won’t mention that now.As for the matters of me being delayed, others cannot testify for me, but general Wang Tu is one of my witnesses!”

“What did you say?!”
