Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2726: Chapter 2729: I’m Not Stupid

"The Third Prince’s Highness gave it?"

"What a noble gesture from the Third Prince’s Highness!"

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing these words.

"Third Brother’s Jade Talisman?"

Cheng Huang’er slightly furrowed her brows, a complex emotion appearing in her eyes.

"Ha! Is the Third Prince trying to win over hearts to counteract the Crown Prince’s Highness?"

Tang Jie smirked.

Cheng Huang’er, Yuan Chong, Jiang Chen, and the others all turned their heads to look over.

Tang Jie shivered suddenly and gave a sheepish smile to Cheng Huang’er.

Discussing the royal struggle right in front of the Little Princess—no one else would dare!

"Perhaps because of me!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"Because of you?"

Tang Jie and the others were all taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Jiang Chen, are you mistaken? Would the Third Prince’s Highness target a mere Divine Infant Realm cultivator like you? Don’t flatter yourself!"

Tang Jie smirked, full of disbelief.

Cheng Huang’er seemed to realize something, frowning: "Are you saying..."

"The Third Prince’s Highness knows I was discovered by the Crown Prince. If I achieved something on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, it would count as a merit for the Crown Prince, making it impossible for the Third Prince’s Highness to target me directly. Thus, he can only start with my friends."

Jiang Chen glanced at Tang Jie: "Everyone knows I’m close with Pang Guang. Since the Third Prince noticed me, he must know this too. The Crown Prince has been very kind to me, so I can’t switch allegiance to the Third Prince. Moreover, my bond with Pang Guang is undeniable. If he becomes the successor of the Canghai Trade Alliance and the Third Prince wants to target the Crown Prince, the Canghai Trade Alliance might choose to support the Crown Prince because of my relationship with Pang Guang, making things difficult for the Third Prince!"

"This... Isn’t it a bit off? The Canghai Trade Alliance has never cared about the royal succession..."

Tang Jie questioned again, almost mentioning the royal succession battle, but quickly changed his words after remembering Cheng Huang’er was nearby: "Never cared about the royal affairs."

"They didn’t care before because none of the Princes had any connections with the Canghai Trade Alliance. But now, given my relationship with Pang Guang, if he becomes the successor, will he not support me by aiding the Crown Prince? Even if I don’t declare who I support now, I might already be tagged with the Crown Prince’s label!"

Jiang Chen rationally analyzed.

"Why do you think the Third Prince would pay attention to you?"

Tang Jie asked quizzically, "Jiang Chen, your talent is high, but you’re just at the Divine Infant Realm now. How could you attract the Third Prince’s attention?"

"He’s already noticed me, not only that, he’s sent people to attack..."

Jiang Chen spoke with a serious expression.

"Jiang Chen!"

Cheng Huang’er suddenly interrupted him.

Jiang Chen paused, realizing, and chose not to continue.

But Tang Jie and the others had already guessed something from his half-sentence, their expressions changed, hearts pounding.

"Seems quite likely."

Yue Muchen spoke softly: "I’m not interested in the royal affairs, but it looks like Pang Guang might lose this round of competition. The value of Pang Lie’s items already exceeds all of Pang Guang’s auction items today. The rest can offset previous ones, but the final item, though a rare mid-grade Dao Instrument, isn’t life-defining. But that Void Transmission Jade Talisman—a lifeline for Saint Monarch Strong Ones."

Tang Jie and the others nodded in agreement, evidently acknowledging Yue Muchen’s statement.

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of contemplation as he looked at Pang Guang on the auction stage, a trace of apology deep in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that because of himself, Pang Guang was targeted by the Third Prince!

"Pang Lie’s vicious! He emerged immediately after Pang Guang’s auction, giving Pang Guang no chance to counter!"

"Exactly, with the value of the five auction items he mentioned, it should reach around 1.5 billion Dao Source Beads, whereas Pang Guang’s total today is only 1.4 billion Dao Source Beads!"

"This is a fall for Pang Guang!"

The people in the venue understood the situation and began discussing.

"Hope everyone can come tomorrow!"

After introducing the auction items, Pang Lie shouted, as if the venue was already his domain.

Pang Guang’s face was extremely grim, a look of unwavering discontent in his eyes. He truly hadn’t anticipated Pang Lie could produce the extremely valuable Void Transmission Jade Talisman!

People in the venue gave Pang Guang a pitying look before rising to leave.

"Brother Pang, this isn’t good, leaving a surprise item for everyone is fine, but not like this! Be careful they really leave!"

Suddenly, a voice called out in the venue.

Everyone paused, looking up to the second floor.

"Jiang Chen?"

"It’s Jiang Chen speaking!"

"He mentioned another auction item?"

"Is it true?"

Everyone in the venue stopped walking.

Pang Lie’s expression changed abruptly, staring at Jiang Chen with icy cold eyes.

Pang Guang was startled upon hearing, swiftly looking at Jiang Chen, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.

Could Brother Jiang... have something good again?

He didn’t think Jiang Chen had hidden something. Even Dao Source Beads were being auctioned, how could he have kept spiritual treasures he couldn’t use?

Couldn’t use? Is he planning to auction his own spiritual treasures? That’s unacceptable!

Pang Guang furrowed his brows; Jiang Chen had helped him a lot already, he couldn’t let Jiang Chen take out his own usable items. Only life-saving items could salvage the situation, he couldn’t let Jiang Chen auction those.

"Brother Jiang, today’s auction..."

Pang Guang cupped his fists, trying to stop Jiang Chen.

"Brother Pang, don’t play too hard, careful you annoy the seniors here!"

Jiang Chen seemed to perceive Pang Guang’s thoughts and interrupted him, giving him a reassuring look.

"Are you going to auction that item?"

Cheng Huang’er furrowed her brows, staring directly into Jiang Chen’s eyes. She suspected Jiang Chen was about to auction the Void Transmission Jade Talisman Si Luan’er gave him!

"Rest assured, it’s not that item, I’m not stupid!"

Jiang Chen shook his head and then turned to face the audience, raising his hand in salute: "Dear seniors, I’m sorry. I had informed Brother Pang that this item was uncertain because I wasn’t sure if I could obtain it when Princess Chang ascended the tribulations.

Or rather, I wasn’t sure if I dared to act when Princess Chang ascended the tribulations. But fortunately, I succeeded; not only did I survive, but I also caught it."

"Keeping it now is useless, soon we are heading to the Extraterritorial Battlefield of Canglan Continent. I told the Crown Prince about this; he hopes I will auction this item to allow the emergence of more powerful figures in Canglan Continent, regardless of going to the battlefield, it’s still the strength of our Canglan Continent!"

This immediately piqued everyone’s curiosity; especially the aristocratic children of the Marquis Mansions, who had knowledge of what Jiang Chen did while Si Luan’er underwent tribulations.

Some seemed to have guessed what the item might be, their eyes intensely fixed on Jiang Chen.
