Chapter 491 - 308: Gong Bo, Three Bestowments! Hu Ben? Private Army!

The Seventh Prince claimed it was to dispel distractions, but in fact, he was concerned that Chu Ming’s epiphany from the Golden List might be disrupted, leading to mental instability, so he specifically brought two bottles of Calming Pills.

"I have two bottles here as well, Chu Reader, take these as well," the Fifth Prince took out two bottles.

Although Chu Ming lost the great chance for an epiphany from the Golden List, both princes still had a favorable attitude toward him.

The Seventh Prince acted out of concern, while the Fifth Prince was interested due to the mysterious expert behind Chu Ming in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

"Thank you, Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince," Chu Ming didn’t decline but bowed and accepted the elixir.

"Chu Ming, in this vast world, there are countless hidden opportunities, don’t think too much, there are gains and losses, with loss comes gain," the Seventh Prince spoke tactfully.

"Yes, Chu Reader, to be listed on the Golden List before the age of seventeen is already a historic achievement and will surely be recorded in the annals," the Fifth Prince joined in to comfort.

"..."

Xiao Wen and Xiao Jianxin sat below, not daring to speak up casually.

About half an hour later, someone outside the hall reported again.

"Sir, the Third Prince..." The servant hadn’t finished speaking.

"Ah, I wondered why the voices sounded familiar from afar, turns out it’s Old Five and Old Seventh,"

The Third Prince strode into the hall.

"Xiao Jieshi is also here."

Xiao Wen and Xiao Jianxin hurriedly saluted, "Third Prince."

"No need for courtesy," the Third Prince waved his hand, sat beside the Fifth and Seventh Princes, then looked at Chu Ming.

"I heard Chu Reader missed the great chance for an epiphany from the Golden List, and I came to see if there is anything I can help with."

Help?

Is this what help looks like?

The Fifth Prince’s eyes flickered, unsure of the intention.

The Seventh Prince’s face showed anger, "Third Brother!"

"What’s wrong, Seventh Brother, is there anything you need help with?" the Third Prince smiled warmly.

"..." The Seventh Prince was at a loss for words.

"Are you not playing chess with Second Brother?" The Fifth Prince skillfully smoothed the situation.

"Our Qin Dynasty had such a major event where the epiphany from the Golden List was disrupted, Second Brother and I have no mood for chess," the Third Prince maintained his friendly smile, "Chu Ming, if you have anything to say, you can tell this prince."

"I will make the decision for you."

Make the decision?

That smile is certainly fake enough.

Fang Xiao thought quietly beside.

Chu Ming only slightly bowed, his attitude could be considered cold.

Then, he bowed again to the Seventh Prince, "Today my Heart Spirit is indeed somewhat unsettled, many thanks to the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince for sending the Calming Treasure Medicine."

Saying so, he deliberately placed the four porcelain bottles in a conspicuous position.

He gave face to the Seventh Prince, but as for the Third Prince, who obviously came with ill intentions, he naturally wouldn’t show a good attitude.

"It’s just Calming Medicine, once it’s finished, I’ll find more for you."

The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince understood the meaning completely.

"..." The Third Prince’s face changed slightly, anger deep in his eyes.

How dare a little Attendant Reader show such an attitude.

"Chu Reader’s Heart Spirit is unsettled, better not show too much and should rest more."

"What the Third Prince says is true," Chu Ming looked aside, "Is the banquet ready?"

Fang Xiao bowed, "It is ready."

"Xiao Jieshi, Xiao Mansion Guard, Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince, please," Chu Ming invited, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh, the Third Prince came suddenly, forgot to prepare for the Third Prince."

"Someone, prepare more drinks."

These words were clearly meant to send the guest away.

"No need!" The Third Prince flicked his wide sleeve, his anger already showing on his face.

"Third Brother won’t stay for the banquet together?" The Seventh Prince felt elated.

"Humph!" The Third Prince gave Chu Ming a cold look, then stood up to leave.

"Third Prince, it won’t take long,"

Chu Ming’s eyes suddenly flashed slightly, saying with a smile.

[Sword Gourd Spirit] sensed a master arriving.

The Third Prince acted as if he heard nothing and strode away.

At this moment.

Outside, guards hurried their steps.

"Sir, sir," Guard Gu Jin reported with a nervous face, bowing, "Astronomical Bureau... Master Tang from the Astronomical Bureau... is outside the mansion."

Who?

Master Tang?!

The Third Prince who had reached the hall door stood there stunned.

Xiao Wen, Xiao Jianxin, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince inside the hall were also shocked.

Master Tang of the Astronomical Bureau, a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm expert who only His Majesty could command, why would he come to a small Attendant Reader’s mansion.

The key point is, judging from the guard’s report, Master Tang is waiting outside the mansion, not coming directly in.

What does this imply?
