Chapter 8

As night fell, a magnificent mansion was brightly lit.

The Ministry of Rites is one of the important institutions of the Tian Ce Dynasty, in charge of the country's etiquette, culture, education, and foreign affairs.

This evening banquet is actually an exchange meeting between the elites of the major fighting academies in the imperial capital.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites will tell these young students who are about to enter the officialdom the so-called etiquette at this banquet.

Finally, the Minister of Rites will also appear and come into contact with these young students, which can be regarded as an on-site assessment of them.

Everyone wants to perform well in front of him. If they can get the favor of this big official, won't they be soaring in the future?

As soon as Li Chen entered this mansion, he saw many young talents like Lin Yue'e, who had smiling faces and revealed extraordinary temperament in their conversation.

Their appearance injected youthful vitality and vigor into the evening banquet.

These people are the future pillars of the Tian Ce Dynasty, and at a glance, they can indeed highlight the foundation of the dynasty.

As time passed slowly, Li Chen also discovered clues behind this grand banquet, and undercurrents were surging.

With the appearance of those Ministry of Rites officials in official uniforms and the second generation of ancestors, the smiles on the students' faces began to converge, and this evening banquet also began to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Li Chen saw more than once that those second generation of ancestors were teasing and provoking the young talents present.

The officials present were indifferent, and the young talents could only make slight resistance and swallow their anger.

Li Chen glanced at Lin Yue'e next to him and asked: "Have they always been like this?"

Originally, he just wanted to beat someone up and complete his mission.

But now, it seems that this place has changed its taste.

Theoretically, those second generation of ancestors are unlearned and incompetent, and have no qualifications to enter such an evening banquet at all.

Now they are everywhere like flies, and no one cares about this?

The late Emperor attached great importance to education. Even if Li Chen hadn't done any homework, he knew that these elite students were the future of the Tian Ce Dynasty.

If they are bullied and suppressed here, then other students can imagine.

As an imperial prince, Li Chen can ignore it, but he is now the Emperor, and he is very unhappy in his heart.

He doesn't understand the government affairs of the whole court, but he can see the expressions on the students' faces clearly.

Now they are all swallowing their anger and dare not speak, how can they do things in the future.

Hearing Li Chen's words, Lin Yue'e nodded helplessly.

Even if she is very angry, what can she do? Unless she doesn't want to mix in the Tian Ce Dynasty, otherwise in front of these Ministry of Rites officials, she can only endure it.

In fact, Lin Yue'e considered it when she came. If the one who entangled her was too much, she would leave the imperial capital and go to some powerful sects to mix.

This is one of the reasons why sects have been prosperous in recent years.

Lin Yue'e just felt that the hard work and deep study in the academy for so many years were in vain, which was really a pity.

Now with the help of this royal family member, she can be regarded as having survived this hurdle.

It's a pity for others present, they are not so lucky.

Compared to Li Chen, who is reclusive, Lin Yue'e still has a certain amount of social interaction in this circle.

Many students from the Xinhuo Fighting Academy came to chat with her nearby.

When they saw Li Chen next to Lin Yue'e, especially those girls, they all showed envious eyes.

"Yue'e, is this your friend? Why don't you introduce him to us."

"That's right, this young master is truly talented and has an extraordinary temperament."

Seeing friends booing, Lin Yue'e was also very embarrassed. It's not that she didn't want to introduce him, it's that she didn't know Li Chen's name.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Chen."

People around seemed to be able to see that this was a royal family member, and the surname Li was naturally very normal.

Precisely because of this, there were not many second generation of ancestors in the area where Li Chen was. There is also a certain contradiction between second generation of ancestors and royal family members.

Usually, Li Chen was in the palace, and the people he contacted most were palace maids and eunuchs, and those people spoke very rigidly in front of him.

It was rare to meet someone of the same age as himself, so Li Chen started chatting with these fighting academy students.

At first, everyone said some polite words, and after chatting, they felt that Li Chen had the demeanor of an elder, so they started to complain to Li Chen.

Saying that these unlearned second generation of ancestors often come to disturb their cultivation, occupy a lot of resources without working hard to practice, making the teachers of the fighting academy have a headache.

Some of Lin Yue'e's younger sisters even secretly told Li Chen that there were many girls in the academy who had not experienced the world, who were harmed by those second generation of ancestors, and were even forced to accompany some officials to drink.

They were annoyed by being chatted up just now, so they came to Li Chen's side to hide, hoping that Li Chen would help block them.

Li Chen laughed angrily when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, as long as they dare to come over, I will beat one for every one that comes."

At that time, everyone took this sentence as a joke to ease the atmosphere and didn't care much.

Lin Yue'e was even a bit embarrassed. She felt that she was really too much trouble for Li Chen tonight.

!

Originally, it was just to block for her alone, but now he even blocked for her younger sisters.

Seeing the resentful eyes of those second generation of ancestors around, she knew that Li Chen had offended many people tonight.

Even if he is a royal family member, he cannot afford to offend some powerful ministers.

As time passed, more and more people entered the evening banquet.

Ordinary second generation of ancestors dare not provoke royal family members, which shows that their background is not very hard.

Those second generation of ancestors who dare to offend, their fathers are naturally in high positions.

Just when Li Chen was chatting happily with these fighting academy students, a second generation of ancestor in his forties walked over.

His eye sockets were deep, his eye bags were swollen, and his face was as pale as paper. He was swaying when he walked, which looked like he had been hollowed out by wine and sex.

Forty years old, without even a fame, and still relying on his father's official power to show off, this person is how useless, no wonder Lin Yue'e looks down on him.

When the students of the fighting academy saw him, they all subconsciously took a few steps back, as if they didn't dare to offend him.

This middle-aged second generation of ancestor was even more arrogant, directly ignoring Li Chen and chatting with Lin Yue'e next to him.

"How did you consider the matter I let you consider?"

To say that other second generation of ancestors are doing some small actions in secret, this one started to threaten in front of so many people.

It is simply ignoring the law, it seems he really treats this place as his home.

Before Lin Yue'e could answer, the next second, this second generation of ancestor was kicked out by Li Chen.

His body flew out like a kite with a broken string, hitting the tables and stools nearby, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the wine splashed.

Finally, he fell heavily to the ground, making a painful groan.

Seeing this sudden scene, the people around were instantly shocked.

Especially Lin Yue'e's two younger sisters, they widened their eyes, as if they saw something incredible.

We just thought you were joking, didn't expect you to really hit when you said hit.

They originally felt that this second generation of ancestor was arrogant enough, but didn't expect Li Chen to be even crazier.

When this guy made a move, he didn't even ask who was on the opposite side!

The beaten second generation of ancestor was quickly helped up by the Ministry of Rites.

He spat out blood, looked at Li Chen fiercely, and said angrily: "You royal family is amazing, right? Can royal family members hit people casually!"

Li Chen shrugged and replied: "The royal family is amazing, so what?"
