C322 Weakness
Hsiang Yunjie couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Among all the major powers that came to congratulate him, he was the one with the least gifts, even less than half of them.
Although he had his own business now, the profits he earned every quarter was not enough to show off in such a grand occasion.
Most importantly, Ye Tian had arranged for Hsiang Yunjie to take a seat in the main hall. One should know that the people who came here were all reputable people in Chu Country!
"It's fine. It's good that you're here. The banquet will be held soon. Let's see what happens next..."
Ye Tian didn't care about Hsiang Yunjie's apology at all. What he paid more attention to was what was going to happen during the opening ceremony.
He knew who would receive the invitation in the invitation that Ye Tian sent out, and he believed that things wouldn't be as simple and harmonious as they were now.
Before the storm, it was exceptionally calm. Although the storm was unusually strong, Ye Tian was looking forward to this moment. This way, he would be able to establish his prestige in Heaven Burial Pavilion!
Not long after, the congratulatory gifts at the reception area were piled up. A few of Ye Tian's followers also used a few Mustard Bags to store all the congratulatory gifts.
Almost everyone in the main hall was present. Ye Tian was sitting on the main seat, and his young face showed his extraordinary strength.
Before he reached the age of forty, he was able to establish his own sect. The members that followed him were all outstanding youths. At this moment, many people were thinking about their own daughter. To be betrothed to Ye Tian, even if it was just a side room, it was still considered a high status.
Just as Ye Tian was about to speak, a shout from outside the hall attracted everyone's attention.
"The Crown Prince of Chu Country, Hsiang Yunyang has come to congratulate Pavilion Master Ye on the opening of his sect!"
On Hsiang Yunyang's side, Ye Tian didn't give him an invitation. After all, the invitation had been sent to the Misty Sect, so Hsiang Yunyang naturally knew about it.
However, Hsiang Yunyang's sudden arrival had made him appear in a very high profile manner, causing many of the people present to become nervous.
Some of them knew that the relationship between Hsiang Yunyang and Ye Tian was very bad. Therefore, if something happened to Hsiang Yunyang this time, it wouldn't end well for them.
"Pavilion Master Ye, this prince has wasted some time on this joyous day. I hope that Pavilion Master Ye doesn't mind!"
Hsiang Yunyang strode in from all directions. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, displaying his identity as the Crown Prince to the fullest.
Before Ye Tian could reply, Hsiang Yunyang continued walking forward, as if the main hall of Heaven Burial Pavilion was his.
"Yunjie, you are really valued by Pavilion Master Ye. How dare you sit beside the Pavilion Master? Now that I am here, if I were to sit down, it wouldn't make sense for the relationship between us..."
Hsiang Yunyang looked at Hsiang Yunjie who was standing next to Ye Tian and said in a flat tone, making the latter feel very uncomfortable.
The reason why Ye Tian arranged Hsiang Yunjie to sit beside him was to let all the guests know that Hsiang Yunjie had an extraordinary relationship with him.
This way, it might be useful in the future battles between Hsiang Yunjie and Hsiang Yunyang.
However, Hsiang Yunyang had suddenly come here. Currently, Hsiang Yunjie was the only seat beside Ye Tian. It would be inappropriate for Hsiang Yunyang to sit down and look down at Hsiang Yunjie.
Hsiang Yunyang had pushed Hsiang Yunjie to the point of morality and loyalty in just a few words. These two points were things that Hsiang Yunjie could not avoid no matter what. He could only give up his position.
However, just as Hsiang Yunjie raised his butt slightly, Ye Tian, who was standing beside him, held Hsiang Yunjie down and did not let him move.
"Crown Prince, today is the opening ceremony of Heaven Burial Pavilion. Everyone in the hall is my friend. It's the same to me. Since the matter has been decided, I won't let it change."
Ye Tian looked at Hsiang Yunyang as if he was floating in the air. He didn't let his plan succeed.
If Hsiang Yunyang was satisfied with this matter, today's opening ceremony would be led by his nose. How could Ye Tian allow such a thing to happen?
Hsiang Yunyang looked at Ye Tian. Initially, he wanted to get angry, but thinking that the current situation was completely different, he didn't say anything.
Currently, the Heaven Burial Pavilion had been established. Although it was still in the early stage, if Hsiang Yunyang wanted to cause trouble, Hsiang Yunyang knew that he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he really fought Ye Tian.
Hsiang Yunyang could only remain calm and collected. He left Hsiang Yunjie's side with a smile and sat down in a seat below.0
The fury in his heart was even fiercer than before. Because of Ye Tian's refusal just now, all of the Poison Dragon Army who came to stop Ye Tian were buried here, not even a piece of their corpse could be found.
Hsiang Yunyang didn't know how Ye Tian did it, but he could feel that Ye Tian's Qi was stronger than before. He also felt uneasy in his heart.
Before the official opening of the banquet, everyone was able to speak freely. They praised the imposing manner of the Heaven Burial Pavilion, especially the fact that Ye Tian was wearing a golden mask.
"Pavilion Master Ye, what a pity. It's such a huge Heaven Burial Pavilion. What a pity, ___. It's really a pity that there are only a few people in this huge ___. If there really is an emergency... Even if a general from the Imperial Court comes to attack us, the Heaven Burial Pavilion will still suffer a terrible price, right? "
Hsiang Yunyang's sudden interruption caused the bustling hall to instantly quieten down.
Everyone's expression was very unnatural by Hsiang Yunyang's words, but they couldn't deny what he said.
Ye Tian only had a dozen or so people with him. When they were assigned to different departments of the sect, they might not even be enough.
For example, there were dozens of ordinary deacons and elders in the Misty Sect. There were also more than a dozen higher ups, and nearly a thousand disciples in the Misty Sect. In front of the Heaven Burial Pavilion, such a number was like a huge monster.
If Hsiang Yunyang really wanted to, he could mobilize the military forces around the Imperial City to cause trouble for the Heaven Burial Pavilion. The number of people in the army was not something the Heaven Burial Pavilion could compare with right now!
Although it seemed like a threat, it actually revealed the biggest weakness of the Heaven Burial Pavilion. Ye Tian didn't deny it, he just smiled and didn't think it was a big deal.
"Crown Prince, I don't think you need to trouble yourself with this matter. The sect has just been established. I think that our Heaven Burial Pavilion will have at least a hundred disciples in a period of time!"
Ye Tian waved his hand and showed a carefree expression. He had already come to a conclusion about this matter.
The reason why he chose the Heaven Burial Pavilion here was firstly because the surroundings were very wide. Secondly, this place was close to the Tiannan Province. As long as the main gate was wide open, he could recruit disciples. With Ye Tian's help, it wouldn't be difficult for the Heaven Burial Pavilion to quickly enter a prosperous state.
"Pavilion Master Ye is very confident, but if the royal army comes to confront him now, will he be able to withstand it?"
Hsiang Yunyang showed his sinister fangs, which made Ye Tian's face turn cold.
If Hsiang Yunyang came to the army to cause trouble, the Heaven Burial Pavilion would be in trouble. Besides, it would be unlucky if such a thing happened on the first day of the sect's opening.
"Emissary West Suppressing King of the Chu Country, Ye Fan greets the Heaven Burial Pavilion!"
Just as the two of them were facing each other, a voice sounded from outside. Ye Tian's expression finally relaxed, and he was even very confident.
Ye Tian naturally had to send someone to give the invitation to Hsiang Yunkong. Now that Hsiang Yunkong was on the same side as them, he had to let Hsiang Yunkong know about his own matters!
