No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

Because of ignorance, we are fearless.

However, Yan Shi felt a little relieved about Ye Ping, because he had investigated and found that Ye Ping had a good relationship with Jin's Crown Prince Li Yu, and was also a student at Jin's academy, so he knew even more about the concept of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Knowing how supreme the Crown Prince of Daxia was, he was very confident.

However, at this moment, Ye Ping's voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Shi, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I am a free-spirited person. I am willing to drink tea, but as for following others, or doing things for others, I don't like it very much."

"Of course, I am very grateful for the gift from the prince. I don't have anything good to give you. This is the new tea from Jin. You can take it back to the prince as a return gift."

Ye Ping smiled calmly. This purple jade bead was priceless and it was a gift from the prince. There was no way Ye Ping would refuse to accept it. As for asking him to join the prince's forces or to work for the prince, that was impossible.

Ye Ping has always believed in one iron rule.

It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

What's more, the profession of a prince is a high-risk profession in itself. Since ancient times, whether in the previous life or in this world, princes basically never have a good ending.

So when Ye Ping first found out that Li Yu was the crown prince, to be honest, he even considered asking Li Yu to give up the position as soon as possible.

Later I learned that Li Yu's father had given birth to several princes, and most of them were several years younger than Li Yu, so there was nothing much to say.

Furthermore, Li Yu is not so bad. It’s just the State of Jin. If you really have a big shot to support you, you won’t be deprived of your throne by others.

Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty would not tolerate rebellion. It seemed that the Great Xia Dynasty would ignore the affairs of the Ten Kingdoms, but at the critical moment, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely take action to maintain orthodoxy.

So Li Yu is a pretty good prince.

But being the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty is truly a high-ranking profession.

With so many brothers and sisters, Ye Ping doesn’t believe that other princes won’t be jealous of the throne of Daxia?

The State of Jin was ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty, but who was in charge of the Great Xia Dynasty?

To put it bluntly, the other four dynasties and even some holy places will not only not help, but will add insult to injury and support other princes, hoping that these princes will fight each other to the death.

In order to fight for the throne, countless benefits will inevitably be promised. Even if no benefits are promised, the cost of internal fighting will always be greater than that of external fighting.

Therefore, the struggle for the throne in the Great Xia Dynasty must have been extremely, extremely, extremely terrifying.

Ye Ping didn't like stock trading, especially the king stocks. If he made the wrong choice, his whole family would die. Even if he made the right choice, it might not be a good thing.

As the ancients said, when the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dogs are cooked.

Isn’t it good to just cultivate immortality?

Do you have to get involved in royal affairs?

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye is really humorous."

Yan Shi chuckled. He was actually a little puzzled as to what Ye Ping meant.

You said you refused the prince, but the problem is that you wanted to accept the gift.

Although she said she agreed, it seemed like she had no intention of meeting the prince at all.

If it was a normal attempt to win over a genius, Yan Shi would have left directly. So what would it matter even if he gave him a purple jade bead?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no shortage of purple jade beads.

But the problem is that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ​​is not Ye Ping’s strength or Ye Ping’s talent.

But it is a non-toxic pill.

The matter of the non-toxic pill was of great importance, so Yan Shi still wanted a definite answer.

He looked at Ye Pingdao.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I don't know what you are worried about, but if you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if you say that wealth and glory are a bit vulgar, as long as you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, won't you be able to call the shots in Daxia in the future?"

"If Fellow Daoist Ye can really help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he may even be crowned king in the future."

Yan Shi said seriously.

But this sentence was purely used by him to fool people.

Being crowned a king is a matter of great importance. Unless you can lift the crown prince to the throne, no matter how much you give, you will never be crowned a king.

Of course, impossible and cannot be said are two different things. Yan Shi is very good at winning people's hearts. He knows that there is no cultivator in this world who is not greedy. Tiancai Ao is not because he is arrogant, but the price has not been negotiated.

Yan Shi’s idea was actually not wrong at all, but unfortunately, the person he met was Ye Ping.

"Fellow Daoist Yan is right, but I still say the same thing. I am just a wandering wanderer. I don't want to join any forces, nor do I want to get involved in any fights. I can drink tea, but forget about other things."

Ye Ping spoke up and continued.

Anyway, no matter what, he would not join the so-called prince's forces, let alone take the initiative to get involved.

Wouldn’t it be good to cultivate Taoism quietly?

As Ye Ping said this, Yan Shi fell silent.

However, he was neither aggressive nor angry. Instead, he smiled calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed extraordinary. He remained unmoved by the solicitation of the Crown Prince of Daxia. His Dao heart is truly remarkable. I, Yan, also like to make friends. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye is willing to do so."

Yan Shi spoke like this, this was his usual tactic. In fact, the identity of the Crown Prince of Daxia would sometimes have a negative effect. After all, the genius was too stubborn. The more one tried to win him over, the more arrogant he became.

But you can't use force, and you can't miss out on a genius like this.

Therefore, Yan Shi would often make friends with his own identity, so as to dispel the other party's guard. Then he would use various methods to broaden the horizons of these geniuses and let them understand how vast the world is.

At that time, there was no need for them to ask for permission, as these geniuses would be willing to join the prince's school.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.

It's like living in a village, eating the best, drinking the best, and living in the best place, without spending more than a tael of silver in a year.

If you have 10,000 taels of silver, and someone gives you 100,000 taels of silver and asks you to do something you don't want to do, you will not do it at all.

Because you don't need silver, you can't spend even ten thousand taels, so it would be meaningless even if you gave you one hundred thousand taels.

But if I take you out for a trip to a big city, you can have a meal of delicacies worth dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver.

If you go to a place like Bu Ran Chen, where you have to pay several thousand taels to get a top-notch girl, then you will realize that the money you have on hand is not much at all.

So let alone giving you 100,000 taels of silver, even if I gave you 50,000 taels of silver, you would be willing to do something you don't want to do.

The same is true for geniuses. They are now carefree, have no worries about food and clothing, and have no shortage of resources, because they live in a small village and they have not left this small village yet.

Yan Shi’s idea was to take these people out of this small village.

Let them see this world, let them understand this world, so that they will know how good it is to follow the Prince of Daxia.

Hearing this, Ye Ping smiled.

"As the sage said, more friends mean more paths. I, Ye, do like making friends. Brother Yan, this is new tea from the Jin Kingdom. I'll give you a portion as a gift."

"Don't be polite, and don't give me any gifts. Although you are the prince's disciple and represent the prince with every move, I will definitely not accept your gift."

Ye Ping took out the second bag of new tea and handed it to Yan Shi.

The words were spoken with great sincerity.

But Yan Shi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

For some reason, he always felt that Ye Ping was trying to trick him, but he was indeed the prince's disciple, so he was naturally generous. He took out a light blue bracelet and said.

"Friend Ye, the so-called courtesy is reciprocity. Although it is just a bag of new tea, the gift is small but the sentiment is great. As a disciple of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my every move represents the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is generous and never stingy. He is also very particular about etiquette."

"So this blue fire bracelet is considered a meeting gift. It's just a small gift, not worth mentioning."

Yan Shi handed the blue fire bracelet to Ye Ping. It was also an ancient treasure, but not a top-grade one, but it was very valuable.

"Brother Yan, you are really too polite. I don't want it."

Ye Ping said this with a determined look on his face, but his eyes were always fixed on the blue fire bracelet.

"Brother Ye, it's a courtesy to return a favor, it's a courtesy to return a favor, please accept it."

Yan Shi knew that the other party was just being polite, so he continued to insist, but to be honest he felt a little uncomfortable, but if he could make friends with Ye Ping, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"No, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me a treasure. If you give me another treasure, it will make me look like a greedy person. I don't want it. I absolutely don't want it."

Ye Ping still looked determined.

"It's okay, Brother Ye, the prince is the prince, I am me, we are personal friends."

Yan Shi continued to speak.

When Ye Ping wanted to continue pretending, Yan Shi could not help but said, "Brother Ye, if you don't want it, then I will just throw it away and it will be considered as giving it to you."

After hearing this, Ye Ping had no choice but to accept the treasure. After thinking about it, he took out a bag of new tea.

After all, the other person gave him two treasures. Wouldn't it seem like I was taking advantage of him if I gave him two bags of new tea?

Give one extra bag, no one owes each other, that’s good.

Yan Shi was speechless. He didn't know what this new tea meant. Ye Ping gave him three bags in a row. He didn't need this stuff. The Great Xia Dynasty had as many as he wanted.

But he couldn't lose Ye Ping's face, so he had to accept it.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this is my sound transmission talisman. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. You can contact me through this sound transmission talisman in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"If you have any trouble, feel free to speak up. It has nothing to do with the prince. This is purely a personal relationship."

Yan Shi spoke, and then left without any further delay.

Before Ye Ping had time to talk to the other party, Yan Shi disappeared in the room, leaving only his sound transmission note.

At this moment, in the room, Ye Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yan Shi is a very good person. He stopped talking about the prince, which made people feel good about him.

To be honest, Ye Ping had thought before that Yan Shi was the kind of lackey who looked down on everyone. But now it seems that those who can follow the prince are not fools. The kind of lackey who is arrogant and insolent and always calls me so-and-so can basically only be cultivated by some nouveau riche.

The royal family is still full of prestige.

Just as Ye Ping was thinking this, suddenly, an extremely loud voice rang out.

"Let me in. I am the crown prince of Jin State, the heir apparent of Jin State, and my master is Ye Ping. How dare you stop me?"

An extremely loud voice sounded.

Ye Ping was stunned.

Soon, Ye Ping's expression became strange, and he couldn't help but take back what he had just said.

There is really no comparison between people.

Look at the subordinates of the Prince of Daxia, and then look at Li Yu, he is not even as good as one of his subordinates.

You deserve to be a petty monarch your whole life.

creak.

Pushing open the door, Ye Ping immediately saw Li Yu being stopped outside the yard.

"Let him in."

Ye Ping opened his mouth, and immediately, the disciples guarding outside the courtyard let them pass.

In their eyes, Ye Ping's status is higher than Li Yu's.

"Master, Master."

After being released, Li Yu rushed over quickly, his face full of excitement. When he arrived in front of Ye Ping, Li Yu spoke directly.

"Master, aren't you going to participate in the Ten Nations Competition?"

Li Yu came to Jin State Academy specifically for this matter.

"Is this why you came here?"

Ye Ping walked into the room and said calmly.

"You must be here for this matter, Master. I have inside information. If nothing unexpected happens, the Great Xia Academy will open within five years. If you don't participate in the Ten Nations Competition, you will not be able to enter the Ten Nations Academy."

"If you don't enter the Ten Kingdoms Academy, you can't enter the Great Xia Academy. The Great Xia Academy is not as easy to enter as the Jin Kingdom Academy."

Li Yu said anxiously.

Ye Ping looked calm. He took out a bag of new tea from the desk and wanted to hand it to Li Yu, but after taking one look at Li Yu's empty hands, he put the new tea back.

Then Ye Ping said in a calm tone.

"I have my own plans. Don't ask about this kind of thing in the future."
