Chapter Sixteen: My family is poor and has no valuable gifts
"Xu Ming, don't go too far!" Chen Tingfeng gritted his teeth.
"Excessive? I, Xu Ming, am a loser. My vision is not as good as yours, my cultivation is not as good as yours, and my status is not as good as yours." Xu Ming sneered.
Hearing this, the noble children were all furious.
After all, Xu Ming's words were not just scolding Chen Tingfeng, but everyone present!
You are all geniuses? Then why can't you tell it's a fake? But you were seen through by a useless person with nine leaks!
After anger came shame. The noble disciples lowered their heads in shame and remained silent. But Xu Ming could see the anger in their hearts from the clenched fists.
"Young Master Chen, his vision, cultivation, and status are all inferior to yours. I admit it, because I don't have the guts to do something wrong and speak before the prince." Xu Ming said again.
Looking at Chen Tingfeng's pale face and the confused expressions of the noble disciples around him, Xu Ming said again:
"We should congratulate Princess Luo happily at the banquet. I specially thought that the country would serve the people with high standards and fully express my respect. But you, holding a fake dragon-patterned sword, fooled Princess Luo, fooled everyone, and fooled the prince.
!”
Fool the princess, fool the prince!
This is the following offense!
Chen Tingfeng was scared, his legs were trembling, and he hurriedly looked at Luo Fan, hoping that he would intervene.
Luo Fan frowned, was stunned for a moment, and stood up: "Master Xu, the reason why Master Chen came here with the fake dragon pattern sword is mainly because he didn't know about it. Master Chen has good intentions, so let's let this matter go."
"Well, let's just expose it." Luo Xiaoyao woke up in shock and nodded hurriedly.
"If that's the case, then that's it. I'm a generous person." Xu Ming waved his hand generously, glanced at the fifth prince from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was about to speak, and hurriedly said loudly:
"If it's normal days, forget it, but this is Princess Luo's banquet."
"Although Princess Luo is not related by blood to the royal family, she is a real princess. Although I am not a royal family, I have royal blood. You show off like this and provoke me with disdain. I can ignore it."
"But haven't you seen the fifth prince? Showing off in front of the fifth prince and looking down upon me shows your disdain for the royal bloodline and your indifference to the fifth prince!"
Xu Ming finished speaking in one breath, very fast, and there was no chance for anyone to interrupt.
"..."
Silence, deathly silence, the scene was completely still, Xu Ming's violent breathing could clearly be heard in everyone's ears.
thump
Chen Tingfeng became even more frightened. He knelt down suddenly and said in horror: "I, I didn't, Fifth Prince, I, I didn't mean that, I didn't..."
"Fifth Prince, this is not what Tingfeng meant. Please forgive me, Fifth Prince." Luo Fan also spoke.
"Fifth Prince, please forgive me. Brother Chen has absolutely no intention of doing so." Luo Xiaoyao also spoke.
Chen Tingfeng glanced at the two of them gratefully.
The fifth prince's face was gloomy and his hands were trembling slightly. He had never blamed Chen Tingfeng in the first place. He didn't care how the other party ridiculed Xu Ming, but Xu Ming's words were too poisonous.
If he let it go easily, how would the royal family lose its face? But the Chen family was also a big family in the capital, so it was hard for him to offend him.
"Fifth prince, Chen Tingfeng and his subordinates have committed crimes. Xu Ming, who has the blood of the royal family, is deeply ashamed!" Seeing the two of them begging for mercy, they secretly said something bad and added fuel to the fire again.
The fifth prince's expression turned even more ugly. If Xu Ming hadn't said this, he would have just found a way to deal with it. However, this guy was a disgrace to the royal family, which made it difficult for him to deal with it.
"Fifth prince, those who don't know are not guilty. Chen Tingfeng has not made mistakes five times, so please forgive him." At this time, the nobles also realized that the fifth prince did not want to punish Chen Tingfeng. Of course they knew how to stand in line.
They just opened their mouths and gained the goodwill of Chen Tingfeng, the Luo family, and even the fifth prince. Anyone would choose this deal.
The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. With their intercession, this matter would be easier to handle.
Xu Ming sighed and said nothing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that everyone was ostracizing him. If he opened his mouth again and forced the fifth prince to punish Chen Tingfeng, and was caught talking, it would be difficult to deal with it.
"Since everyone thinks that Chen Tingfeng made a mistake unintentionally, but the majesty of the royal family cannot be insulted, Chen Tingfeng should be punished. But today is Princess Luo's banquet, so he should be happy and postpone the punishment." The fifth prince thought for a moment and said solemnly.
"The fifth prince is wise." Everyone thanked them, and Chen Tingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Xu Ming, I wonder what gift you gave this time?" The fifth prince was already angry after being embarrassed by Xu Ming several times.
"Yes, Master Xu, what gifts did you bring this time?" The noble disciples hurriedly agreed and looked at Xu Ming hatefully.
This time, it can be said that Xu Ming single-handedly defeated them all.
Chen Tingfeng looked at Xu Ming bitterly, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Luo Fan frowned and sneered silently.
The same is true for Luo Xiaoyao.
"Haha, my Xu family is clean and honest, so naturally I won't have any expensive gifts, especially dragon-patterned swords." Seeing Chen Tingfeng's expression, Xu Ming said with great sarcasm in his self-deprecation.
As he spoke, Xu Ming put his hand into his tattered coat and fumbled for a long time before taking out a box.
The box is exquisite, with exquisite patterns carved on the surface.
"Here, this is my gift, open it and take a look." Xu Ming handed the box over.
"I also want to see what good gifts Mr. Xu will give." Looking at the exquisite box, a trace of disdain flashed in Luo Fan's eyes.
Luo Xiaoyao opened the box without asking Xu Ming's opinion. The nobles around also hurriedly stretched their necks, wanting to know what Xu Ming's gift was.
Click
"..."
The silence was as silent as death. However, after this silence, it exploded.
"Xu Ming, what do you mean!" Luo Xiaoyao screamed, almost roaring.
In the box, there is a rough green necklace. If it were a rough necklace, that would be fine, but there are obvious scratches on this necklace!
Was this picked up from the trash?
This is everyone's first impression.
The fifth prince on the side also had a very gloomy look on his face. He clenched his fists and wanted to beat Xu Ming violently.
He said he had royal blood before, but then he gave it away with a piece of garbage in the blink of an eye?
However, thinking of Xu Ming's previous efforts to serve the country and the people, the fifth prince wisely chose to remain silent.
"What do you mean? I have already said that my Xu family is upright and upright, so how can we have anything valuable?" Xu Ming said calmly.
After saying this, Xu Ming felt a little itchy on his neck: "This clothes is still a little itchy to wear."
This sentence made them puzzled for a while, and then disdainful. They thought to themselves: "I asked you to pretend, are you itchy now?"
But the next moment, their faces became extremely funny, some were gloomy, and some were red from holding back.
But Luo Xiaoyao was trembling, and Luo Fan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
I saw Xu Ming reaching out to grab his neck, his tattered clothes shaking, and a necklace emitting aqua blue light appeared around Xu Ming's neck.
The aqua blue necklace didn't reveal much, but it was just enough for Luo Xiaoyao and Luo Fan to see.
In an instant, Luo Xiaoyao and Luo Fan's anger peaked, their faces turned red, and they felt deeply ashamed.
