Chapter 1255 Cao Jingtian's Scheming
"Today is a family dinner, everyone is here!"
At this time, a gentle laugh came from the camp opposite Yin Shi.
The speaker was a middle-aged man with long black hair draped over his shoulders, dark skin, and looked quite kind. He always had a smile on his face, which made people feel friendly.
Gong Tian, a marquis, was the adopted son of the former Dragon Lord. Although he looked ordinary, he was extremely talented. He was the strongest among the three marquis, and was even praised as the strongest among all the marquis. He guarded the east of the Dragon Domain and intimidated many monsters around him. No one dared to invade.
Gong Tian was very grateful to the former Dragon Lord, so he assisted the current Dragon Lord wholeheartedly, devoted himself to the work, and fought bloody battles for the Dragon Clan. In the minds of many people in the Dragon Clan, he was like a god of war, invincible.
Although Gong Tian is powerful, he has a very gentle personality. He has always been a good guy, helping others out and not caring much about fame and fortune.
Just now, he noticed that Yin Shi and Cao Zhao might compete again, so he spoke in time, which invisibly resolved the tense atmosphere and secretly reminded them that today was a family dinner and they should not compete anymore.
Cao Zhao and Yin Shi looked at each other, and a sharp look flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say anything more. Gong Tian's face still had to be given. After all, Gong Tian's influence in the dragon clan was far greater than theirs.
At this time, Cao Jingtian glanced at a young man behind Gong Tian and said, "Jin Cheng."
Gong Jincheng, one of the twelve dukes, now also has his own palace, named Yuanyang Palace.
Gong Jincheng heard Cao Jingtian's words, looked in Cao Jingtian's direction, nodded lightly, and said hello.
Compared with Gong Tian, Gong Jincheng's temperament is much colder. He doesn't like to have much contact with others and focuses on cultivation. Therefore, he inherited his father's powerful talent and has superior combat power. He reached the eighth level of Yuanhuang at a young age. He has few rivals among the young generation of the dragon clan and is known as the little god of war.
"Since you are here, take a seat. I guess the Dragon Lord is coming too." Gong Tian said to everyone with a smile, and then he walked towards the central area next to the Supreme Throne. Cao Zhao and Yin Shi also stepped out. The three of them landed at the same time, close to each other.
They are all extraordinary marquis lords, who are intimidating and have extremely high status. Naturally, they are qualified to sit closest to the Dragon Lord.
As time passed, more and more people descended on the high platform area. At this time, many marquis lords and dukes came. Some marquis lords had high status, so they sat in the same level area with Cao Zhao and the other two, while some marquis lords with lower status could only sit in the slightly back area.
The strict hierarchy of the dragon clan was fully reflected at this moment.
"Lord Qu is here."
At this time, a voice came from the crowd. When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes and saw a handsome young man walking over. He was dressed in a white shirt, which was dust-free and elegant. His face was extremely white, and his eyes were a bit weird, as if they were fascinating.
If we only talk about appearance, among all the young men present, perhaps only Cao Jingtian can compare with him.
Qu Xuefeng, among the twelve Lords, is ranked in the top three in strength. He has the cultivation of the initial emperor realm, and his appearance is outstanding and his temperament is unique. Therefore, he is very popular among the younger generation and has a good reputation.
Qu Xuefeng looked around at many familiar figures around him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a very beautiful smile, and said: "Everyone, how are you?"
Everyone nodded and smiled, which was considered a greeting.
Then Qu Xuefeng looked at Cao Jingtian and the other two, with a smile on his face, and said, "You are here too. How is your practice recently?"
Qu Xuefeng is the leader among the twelve dukes, and has a bit of a leader's demeanor. He often answers some difficult questions for them and shares his own practice insights.
"It's OK." Cao Jingtian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother Qu."
"We are OK too." Yin Tianming and Gong Jincheng also clasped their fists and said. They all have some respect for Qu Xuefeng in their hearts and regard him as a senior.
The other twelve dukes came one after another, and the arrival of each of them undoubtedly caused a big sensation.
The twelve dukes are the model of all young people in the dragon clan, and are the highest level of honor. Being named the twelve dukes means that the future is bound to be limitless, because those who were named the twelve dukes in the past almost all became the core figures of the dragon clan and were powerful in all directions.
Compared to the noisy atmosphere on the high platform, Xiaoxiang Tower seemed extremely quiet. Qin Xuan had just finished practicing and was about to leave for the family dinner.
Seeing that Qin Xuan seemed to be leaving, a maid asked curiously: "Is Mr. Qin going out?"
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at her in surprise, and asked: "Is there a problem?"
"No, no." The maid shook her head hurriedly.
A ray of purple-gold light flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes, as if he saw through the maid's thoughts, and an exaggerated look appeared on his face. Did they all think so?
Qin Xuan coughed lightly and said seriously: "Don't think too much, there is really nothing between me and the fifth princess."
When the maids heard this, their beautiful eyes all stared at Qin Xuan, as if asking, is it really nothing?
Seeing their eyes, Qin Xuan knew that his explanation was useless, and he was too lazy to say anything more. He waved his hand casually and said: "Let's go."
Looking at Qin Xuan's departing back, several maids looked at each other, their eyes were full of brilliance. Is this the bearing of a truly extraordinary genius?
The feeling Qin Xuan gave them was very different from those dragon geniuses. Most of the geniuses they had seen were arrogant and looked down on everything. They spoke to them in a condescending manner and completely treated them as servants.
However, Qin Xuan was different. He was humble, easy-going, and low-key. Although he rarely spoke to them, at least his tone did not have the slightest pride of a genius, which made them want to get close to him involuntarily. Moreover, Qin Xuan seemed to naturally reveal an extraordinary temperament, which could be felt by others without saying much.
But they knew that Qin Xuan's talent was very strong, not just ordinary strong. It was said that even the third prince of the dragon clan was surpassed by Qin Xuan.
Compared with Qin Xuan, those self-important extraordinary young people, what were they?
At this time, many thrones around the high platform were full of people, and some thrones in the central area were empty, but no one dared to sit there for fear of being criticized.
Many marquis elders talked about the major events in the demon domain, while the young marquis exchanged ideas on cultivation. The scene seemed extremely harmonious.
At this time, three figures came from one direction. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of many people and became the focus of the whole scene.
Of course, everyone's eyes were focused on the man in the middle, and the two people next to him seemed to be just a foil.
These three people were the Third Prince Long, Long Xiao and Long Qing, who had made an appointment to come to the banquet together.
The Third Prince Long swept his eyes over the many figures in front of him, as if he was searching for something. After a moment, he frowned slightly and whispered, "Will this guy not come?"
"It shouldn't be, Brother Qin doesn't seem like someone who breaks an appointment." Long Qing blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly.
"Let's take a seat first. I believe Brother Qin will be here soon." Long Xiao said.
"Okay." The Third Prince Long nodded, and the three of them walked in unison, but then they walked to different areas. The Third Prince Long walked towards Qu Xuefeng and others, while Long Xiao and Long Qing went to the back area.
Long Qing was young and had no status, so he could only sit back. Although Long Xiao had good talent and was named a Lord of Nobles, he was just an ordinary Lord of Nobles. Compared with Lords of Nobles such as Cao Jingtian, Yin Tianming and Gong Jincheng, he was obviously a step behind.
But the Third Prince Long was different. The Dragon Lord had hundreds of descendants, and he ranked third. His status was so high, and his talent was extremely outstanding. He was one of the eight princes of the Demon Realm. He fought against many top geniuses in the Nine Realms of Tianxuan in the Wilderness Competition and won the seventh place. This was another level.
The Third Prince Long strode towards the central area. Qu Xuefeng, Cao Jingtian, and Yin Tianming watched him coming, staring at him with different expressions.
Qu Xuefeng suddenly smiled and greeted him, "Long Yang, long time no see!"
"It's been a long time since we last met." The Third Prince Long nodded. He still had a good impression of Qu Xuefeng. He was a free and upright person who was not bound by red tape and was worth making friends with.
"Will the prince come this time?" Qu Xuefeng asked again. The Long Prince will never be forgotten.
"He probably won't come. He is still in retreat and practicing. It will probably take some time for him to come out." The Third Prince Long replied.
"Still in retreat?" Qu Xuefeng's eyes showed a hint of strangeness. The news of the Long Prince's retreat had been spread a long time ago. After such a long time, he had not come out yet. It seemed that this retreat must be extremely important.
Then the Third Prince Long looked away from Qu Xuefeng, looked directly forward, and stepped forward, making Cao Jingtian, Yin Tianming and others look stiff and embarrassed.
The Third Prince Long actually ignored them directly without even looking at them!
"So arrogant!" Yin Tianming whispered, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone. They were also members of the royal family, and their realm was higher than that of the Third Prince Long. This guy didn't give them any face at all. He was too self-righteous!
"Haha, it's not the first time. Is it necessary to be like this?" Cao Jingtian said lightly, as if he was used to it, but he was also very unhappy in his heart. This Third Prince Long was too arrogant!
The reason why he didn't show it was because he knew how to hide his emotions. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. This is the Holy Dragon Palace. It would not be good for him to have a conflict with the Third Prince Long now. After all, the Third Prince Long has a very high status in the heart of the Dragon Lord, which may make the Dragon Lord unhappy.
But if you change to another place, there will be no such concerns.
For example, in the Holy Dragon Pool!
