I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head-Novel2

Chapter 2015 Is He Even Qualified to Threaten Me?

In Chu Yunfan's office, a man dressed in white sat beside Chu Yunfan. This man in white was about forty years old. He looked middle-aged and had a noble aura.

"Marquis Baiyi? May I know why you have come?" Chu Yunfan looked at the man in white.

In Grand Xia, although it wasn't easy to become a marquis, there were many geniuses who would shine for a time. As long as these people were willing to serve Grand Xia, it wouldn't be difficult for them to become a marquis.

Furthermore, Grand Xia had been established for so many years, and countless people had been conferred the title of marquis. If it wasn't for the fact that the title of marquis in Grand Xia couldn't be inherited unless it reached the level of duke, the streets would probably be filled with marquis.

But even so, there were still many marquises in Grand Xia. Chu Yunfan couldn't recognize all of them. In fact, he didn't know most of them. However, there was a huge difference between each marquis. Only a few people in every generation could achieve the feat of Chu Yunfan, who had made enough contributions in the shortest time possible. It could be said that they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Most of them had served in the army for many years and continuously accumulated merit. Because of their merit and seniority, they were conferred the title of marquis. 

Chu Yunfan and this white-robed man were both marquises, but compared to Marquis Baiyi, Chu Yunfan was in the limelight and was the center of attention. They were on completely different levels.

However, Chu Yunfan quickly remembered some information about Marquis Baiyi. Although he had never met the man before, the Flying Celestials had sent him a lot of information about the other marquises.

One of them was the Marquis Baiyi, but he only spoke a few words. Marquis Baiyi Yang Yi was from the Yang family, a military aristocratic family. He had served in the army since he was young and was later given the title of Marquis Baiyi. It was an ordinary resume.

Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to underestimate Marquis Baiyi. No matter how ordinary he was, those who could be conferred the title of marquis were the cream of the crop among their peers. But in front of Chu Yunfan, it was nothing.

"Marquis Chu, I'm here on behalf of the Crown Prince," Yang Yi said.

"The Crown Prince?" Chu Yunfan's eyebrows knitted together, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Everyone knew that Li Qianyuan was the Crown Prince's confidant. When Chu Yunfan killed Li Qianyuan, he and the Crown Prince became enemies. He was a little surprised that Yang Yi sought refuge with the Crown Prince. It was different from Li Qianyuan, who was the direct descendant and confidant of the Crown Prince. Yang Yi had clearly sought refuge with the Crown Prince later.

The king was not afraid of the courtiers coming into contact with the princes and princesses. He even encouraged them to form cliques and compete with each other. The final winner would become the next king. However, the current situation was unclear. Even the Crown Prince did not seem to be that outstanding under the competition of many brothers and sisters. Now, smart people would not choose to place their bets so early.action

"I'm sure you know about my relationship with the Crown Prince, Marquis Baiyi. Marquis Huntian was the Crown Prince's trusted aide. Now that Marquis Huntian has died in my hands, could it be that the Crown Prince is here to punish me?" Chu Yunfan smiled.

"Of course not." Yang Yi shook his head. "Although the previous incident caused you to have a misunderstanding with the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is broad-minded and will not be calculative with you. As long as you are willing to serve the Crown Prince, everything that happened before can be written off."

Chu Yunfan looked at Yang Yi with a mocking smile and shook his head. Although he had never met the Crown Prince, he could already tell many things.

Harsh and ungrateful!

Li Qianyuan, as his confidant, had done so many things for him. Now, not long after his death, the Crown Prince had come to recruit Li Qianyuan's sworn enemy. The Crown Prince was trying to act like he was respectful to the wise, but he was arrogant and refused to visit Chu Yunfan personally.

Whether it was because the Crown Prince was arrogant and thought that Chu Yunfan was just so-so, or because he was afraid of rumors and gossip, he was not a master who could do great things. It was no wonder that even though he had the title of Crown Prince and was born with the title, so many of his brothers and sisters had come out to challenge him. This in itself was a sign that virtue did not match status.

Being conferred the title of Crown Prince was an innate advantage. The gap between him and the others had been widened to an extreme point. But at this point, he was still unable to suppress his many brothers and sisters, and such a person wanted to subdue Chu Yunfan? What a joke!

"If that is all you have to say, please leave, Marquis Baiyu." Chu Yunfan shook his head.

"What did you say?" Yang Yi was stunned as if he had never expected Chu Yunfan to reject him so quickly.

One must know how powerful the Crown Prince's faction was. Even the last time when Li Qianyuan colluded with the Demon God Sect and the demon, they had managed to settle the matter. Many people wanted to get on the Crown Prince's boat but were not qualified. In his opinion, it was impossible for anyone to reject the Crown Prince. This was why when the Crown Prince came looking for him, he almost couldn't wait to agree.

Moreover, Chu Yunfan had offended the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince had expressed that he would let bygones be bygones, shouldn't he join the Crown Prince's faction happily?

"Do you not understand what I'm saying?" Chu Yunfan said.

"Marquis Chu, you have to think about this carefully. Even if you are from the Flying Celestials, the Flying Celestials will not be able to protect you in the face of the Crown Prince's anger." Yang Yi's expression immediately turned cold.

There was still some doubt in Yang Yi's eyes. According to the information he had received, Chu Yunfan did not seem to have joined Princess Yun Yang. Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not have sent him to recruit Chu Yunfan.

Yang Yi's expression made Chu Yunfan laugh. Although they were both officials, their horizons were too far apart. Yang Yi was relying on the Crown Prince for a better future. However, Chu Yunfan didn't need to rely on anyone to get what he wanted.

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Yunfan sneered.

"You can think that way. Not everyone can reject the Crown Prince's good intentions," Yang Yi said coldly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that even breathing became difficult. A palm formed by spirit energy grabbed his neck and tightened it like an iron clamp. Just when Yang Yi thought he was going to be strangled to death, Chu Yunfan suddenly swung his hand and Yang Yi flew out of the tent.

"Is he even qualified to threaten me? Who does he think he is? Go back and tell the Crown Prince that I have no interest in participating in the battle for the throne. It's fine if you don't come and provoke me. Otherwise, I'll settle all the old and new scores together," Chu Yunfan said coldly, "He wants to control me? He has to wait until he ascends the throne!"
