Chapter 100: Chu Imperial Seat
Tie Butian was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, “Emerald Lake... how is it?”
“Very good.” Chu Yang smiled, but with a hint of meaning, he asked, “What do you think about the reward for recruiting talent that I mentioned, his royal highness the crown prince?”
Tie Butian chuckled playfully, “Pretty good.”
Chu Yang also laughed, and the two shared a meaningful smile.
“I have already informed Cheng Ziang that regarding the butian pavilion, you have full authority to make decisions.” Tie Butian said seriously, looking at Chu Yang, “Brother Chu, but I need to be kept in the loop. I can’t just pretend to be deaf.”
Chu Yang felt a slight warmth in his heart. Tie Butian had expressed himself clearly and sincerely to this extent.
“I understand, so I’m just giving a warning, not clearing things out.” Chu Yang replied, “However, there’s one thing I don’t understand: why do you trust me so much?”
Tie Butian looked at him intently for a moment before slowly smiling and saying, “Intuition! I feel you are someone worth trusting, it’s that simple.”
Chu Yang suddenly realized that Tie Butian’s smile had a unique charm; it started with his eyes, slowly curved up, then his nose twitched lightly, his mouth slightly pulled back, and finally, both cheeks broke into a smile.
But when his eyes began to curve, it brought immense joy to those who saw it. This smiling Tie Butian no longer had that “born ruler” aura; instead, he seemed extremely approachable and lovable!
Chu Yang was startled by this thought that rose within him, reminding himself twice in his mind: Chu Yang, this is a man! This is a man!
Seeing Chu Yang staring blankly at him, Tie Butian suddenly changed his expression and said, “I’m leaving.” He stood up and, without waiting for Chu Yang to see him off, hurriedly marched away with imposing strides, vanishing quickly from sight.
It was like he was escaping!
Chu Yang rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, “He didn’t leave with such grandeur when he came. Now, he’s walking with the stride of a ruler. If he didn’t walk like this, wouldn’t he not be the crown prince? Truly the epitome of showing off.”
After Tie Butian left the butian pavilion, he walked quite a distance before realizing, “Oh no, I forgot to mention the situation at the border…” He wanted to turn back but thought better of it. He mused: This guy always looks into others’ eyes when talking, making me anxious...
As the crown prince, Tie Butian had grown in power over the years. In the entire Iron Cloud Nation, apart from Iron Dragon City, no one dared to look him in the eye while speaking; yet, Chu Yang was an exception!
Chu Yang had a habit of looking into others’ eyes while talking.
Tie Butian didn’t know that this was due to Chu Yang’s nether spirit grand technique, as he was always prepared to use it to test the truthfulness of what others said. It was indeed a habit; not just with men, but even with women, Chu Yang would still maintain eye contact...
Because when a person is lying or thinking, there’s always something unusual in their gaze. Those who can practice to the extent of not blinking or being flustered when lying compared to telling the truth... are truly rare...
In the following days, Chu Yang was busy on both ends.
Then, that very afternoon, Tie Butian, for reasons unknown, sent Wu Qianqian over, saying she was to be an assistant to the Chu Imperial Seat.
Chu Yang was somewhat amused by this decision. Naturally, Wu Qianqian’s unparalleled beauty caused a stir among the rough men in the butian pavilion, who looked at her with envy and secretly admired the luck of the Chu Imperial Seat: such a beautiful woman, and the crown prince was willing to send her over... It showed how much trust and reliance they had on the Chu Imperial Seat.
The actions of the butian pavilion had truly begun to operate with unprecedented efficiency over these few days!
