Chapter 14: I Really Don't Want to Be Famous

Patriotic sentiment, the duty to guard one's hometown.

All this, Yang Ye has always been diligent, bringing loyalty to the sovereign and love for the country, protecting the nation and benefiting the people to the utmost.

But now, those opponents he once had have actually come to his doorstep, bullying him face to face!

This matter is something Yang Jun can no longer tolerate.

"I, the young ox before Yellow Earth Slope!"

Yang Jun let out a cold snort and spoke.

Yang Jun's response made Sang Jiegui's eyes widen; all his earlier pride and arrogance vanished in that instant.

She never imagined that Yang Jun could so easily match up.

"Good, that's perfect!"

Yun Xiyue was the happiest, immediately bursting into cheers.

She stepped forward while speaking, linking her arm with Yang Jun's.

"Father Emperor, I'm not lying, right? Yang Jun really is talented!"

Yun Xiyue kept speaking, and Yun Fengyun also nodded.

That answer was indeed satisfactory, but as he nodded, a flicker of unease flashed in Yun Fengyun's eyes.

"How is that possible? How could you get it right?"

Sang Jiegui's eyes widened as he questioned Yang Jun.

"What's up, Sunshine envoy? I've gotten everything right; now it's my turn, right?"

"You also come try; see if you can get it right."

Yang Jun, seeing that he had already spoken, saw no need to pretend anymore, stared at Sang Jiegui with a challenging look, his face full of contempt.

"When people pass the Great Buddha Temple..."

"On the painting, a lotus-flower monk painting"

"Waters and mountains everywhere, clear and beautiful..."

"Between the pines, the bright moon shines; clear springs flow over stones."

"Snow-white jade skin reveals the neck, gentle as the deep affection of mountains and rivers."

"Eyebrows and eyes like spring blossoms, charming as the autumn moon."

"Come on, you come and match it!"

Yang Jun opened his mouth, firing off like a string of cannonballs, launching an attack at Sang Jiegui.

Sang Jiegui heard Yang Jun's words, hearing these sentences, his eyes blinked in disbelief.

At first he wrote paintings and scenery, but later it was all about women.

It seems this indeed matches the outside world's evaluation and discussion of Yang Jun.

But even if Yang Jun is promiscuous and vulgar, he after all produced these.

Nowadays, she simply cannot cope with all these sentences; in her panic, she couldn't even get a single one right!

Thus, Sang Jiegui panicked utterly, yet felt somewhat helpless.

Although many on the hall disliked Yang Jun, hearing him speak eloquently, forcing the Sunshine Country envoy into disarray, also made them feel pleased.

"Good, really great, Yang Jun, you can be called a great talent!"

Yun Fengyun also lavishly praised Yang Jun, after all Yang Jun helped him regain face, a great matter for displaying national prestige.

Zhou Tian's face was gloomy, his dark side continually expanding.

"How is that possible?"

"How can this spoiled young master know so much?"

"He shouldn't be good for nothing, unable to do anything, should he?"

"But now, how can he show off his authority in front of people?"

Thinking of all this, Zhou Tian at this moment was very dissatisfied.

"I only hate that Fourth Senior Sister failed."

Zhou Tian glanced at Yang Jun, then gave Yun Xiyue a look.

"Could it be that all this was taught by Yun Xiyue?"

"But no matter who taught it, or if he figured it out himself."

"In short, Yang Jun must die!"

Zhou Tian at this time also affirmed this in his heart, and had already placed Yang Jun on the must-kill list.

"Alright, since you, the Sunshine envoy, can't answer, in the cultural realm you are ignorant and superficial, utterly unable to cope; let's return to the major matter of peace between the two states."

Yun Fengyun was very pleased; Yang Jun gave him a comeback, actually letting him vent a great sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance; may we be given time to consider?"

Sang Jiegui bowed to Yun Fengyun, speaking respectfully.

In this matter, the arrogant aura she had when she first arrived has been completely dispelled now.

Therefore, she had no choice but to retreat first.

Yun Fengyun wore a look of disbelief, casually waving his hand.

Since we can gain the upper hand and secure an advantage, that is enough.

Sang Jiegui once again bowed respectfully to Yun Fengyun to indicate his retreat.

As she was leaving, her eyes locked onto Yang Jun before her.

She carefully observed Yang Jun's features, taking in every detail and fixing them firmly in her mind.

Back then, I never paid attention to this person; who would have thought he would give me such a profound lesson?

After Sang Jie Guiyi left, Yun Fengyun finally withdrew his gaze.

"Yang Jun, everyone says you're unlearned and a total playboy, but your performance now has truly made me look at you anew."

"Tell me, how did you come to possess such talent?"

Yun Fengyun spoke, his eyes fixed tightly on Yang Jun.

Before, Yun Xiyue repeatedly spoke well of Yang Jun, but Yun Fengyun completely disbelieved it; to him, this was merely his daughter speaking up for Yang Jun out of concern, deliberately saying good things for him.

But now it seems Yang Jun actually possesses such genuine ability!

However, while expressing praise for Yang Jun, Yun Fengyun also felt a sense of wariness toward him; he sized Yang Jun up, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning.

At this moment, Yang Jun's heart was full of regret.

Oh no, oh no, I couldn't stop the car—how did I end up acting all pretentious all of a sudden?

Wasn't it agreed early on to stay low-key?

How should we get past this?

Yang Jun anxiously thought about these matters, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

Got it!

Since it's already been said that I'm a playboy, I might as well go all the way.

As for the sudden appearance of talent, it's only natural to find someone to credit for these achievements.

"Your Majesty, I didn't suddenly gain knowledge on my own; I truly have received guidance from an expert."

Yang Jun quickly responded, and a single sentence captured Yun Fengyun's attention.

"Oh? Guidance from an expert? Tell me what's going on."

Yun Fengyun raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"Actually, just now I accidentally wandered into the Imperial Garden and happened to meet the Elder Princess."

"Seeing my worried face, the Elder Princess asked with concern, and I then explained how the Rizhao Envoy was being overbearing, bullying our Great Xia as if it had no one."

"So the Elder Princess taught me a few lines, saying that relying on these would be more than enough to deal with the Rizhao Envoy."

After Yang Jun finished speaking, he unconsciously nodded.

Hmm, not bad—this answer is perfect!

Yang Jun was also pleased with his response, and Yun Fengyun gave a light nod.

After all that, it turns out Yang Jun is just a mouthpiece.

As for Yun Fengyue's abilities, Yun Fengyun knows them all too well.
