After that person told him about the fake Li Chen's actions inside the palace, Xiong Ke was so angry that he did not know what to say!
However, after being angered, he felt a lot more at ease.
This fake Li Chen had only come to the palace to swindle food and drink, and also to swindle one's looks.
However, Xiong Ke still went to find Li Chen and explained the whole thing.
The courtyard that Xiong Ke arranged for Li Chen was the place where all the geniuses would gather.
Li Chen wanted to go out and take a look since he had nothing to do. But who would have thought that before he even stepped out of the door, he would hear a few people walking past him.
"Who knows where this person came from? He's so petty, yet he can't walk after seeing a beauty. He's shaming all of us geniuses!"
"Exactly! Look at his manner, it was as if he had come from a remote place! What palace's beauty? I don't think much of that, but that little brat ate her like she was spring. It's like medicine, but it's actually treated like a treasure! "
"For such a person to be invited to participate in a gathering of geniuses, that really makes us look down. In the future, I will definitely not come to hold another gathering of geniuses!"
Li Chen stood there, and for some reason, he instinctively felt that those words were related to him.
They all turned to look at Li Chen.
Li Chen walked forward and said with a smile: "I wonder what matter did the few of you mention just now? I have just arrived, so I'm not familiar with this place. Listening to the words of the young masters just now, it seems like there's something wrong with this gathering of geniuses. "
Seeing that Li Chen was also a young master dressed in fine clothes, the man guessed that Li Chen was the same as him, a participant in a genius gathering. His name is Li Chen! "
Li Chen subconsciously thought about his invitation letter and his body stiffened.
The man did not sense anything amiss in Li Chen, and continued to speak: "That man is truly difficult to understand! After entering the palace, it is simply a disgrace for us to be associated with such a beautiful woman every day! "
Li Chen could no longer smile. At this time, he already understood that there was someone who had started hanging out with him after coming in with his invitation letter, and even caused his reputation to become so miserable.
"I wonder where that person is now!" I'm really interested in this kind of person, I want to take a look! "
Actually, Li Chen already wanted to curse in his heart, but he forced himself to keep a good smile on his face and continued to ask the few people in front of him.
The few of them naturally could not figure out Li Chen's identity, and casually pointed: "The place is very close, over there!"
After specifying the person's address, Li Chen thanked the two of them and his eyes turned dark.
He was currently infuriated, wishing that he could call for the other party to come out and give him a good beating.
Coincidentally, Xiong Ke had also come over at this time. Seeing Li Chen's angry face, Xiong Ke subconsciously thought that Li Chen had heard some rumors and knew about the fake Li Chen's actions in the Imperial Palace.
"Young Master Li!" Xiong Ke called out. At this moment, he naturally understood that the person in front of him was the real Li Chen, but this matter was not easy to deal with either. He had to communicate with Li Chen first.
Li Chen naturally had to take Xiong Ke into consideration as well. Even if he were to go and kill that fake person now, the message would not be easily concealed.
For now, he could only cover it with more explosive rumors.
Li Chen and Xiong Ke discussed for a long time before finally smiling in satisfaction.
This fake Li Chen actually dared to take the risk of making a ruckus in the Imperial Palace under his name.
Within a few days, rumors began to spread within the palace.
Other than that Li Chen from before, there was actually another Li Chen here, and he was also from one of the ten great sect s of Tianqiong Nation.
This news made many people confused, why did two Li Chen suddenly appear? The most surprising thing was that the palace did not seem to investigate any of them, nor did it say which one was real and which one was fake.
Many people wanted to know how things would turn out.
The fake Li Chen naturally knew about the news too, and his face immediately became filled with panic. But after thinking about it again, since no one had come to investigate him, it meant that everyone did not know whether he was real or fake! As long as he insisted that he was Li Chen, he did not believe that would do anything to him!
Thinking about it this way, Li Chen felt that his heart seemed to be more at ease. That's right, he is Li Chen, what can you do to him even if you refuse to admit it?
On this point, Li Chen never thought that the other party would actually have such a good mental fortitude, and would still be able to maintain his composure when he was about to be seen through.
What made Li Chen the most speechless was that this fake Li Chen actually declared to the outside world that he was the real Li Chen, and got the people in the palace to give him justice, and deal with Li Chen!
His appearance of "I have reason" caused many people to be confused.
Look at him, with a face like he wasn't afraid of a confrontation, as if he didn't feel guilty at all.
Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at hearing the other party's provocation.
Should he say that this person's inner qualities were too good or was he just a bit stunned?
Even at this point, he still said that he had insisted on using Confusion Eyeing to make others believe him.
To be fair, even those geniuses would not be willing to believe that the fake Li Chen was real, because no one would be willing to be called a genius along with someone who had a brain full of worms.
Seeing that there was no response from the palace, the fake Li Chen panicked a little.
However, just when he felt that he was about to be exposed, someone handed him a letter, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
In just a few days, the matter of the real and fake Li Chen had spread throughout the entire palace, and even the genius gathering that was about to begin did not conceal the extent of this commotion.
Many people even started making bets on them.
Li Chen only smiled, he naturally did not take these people's words to heart. As for that fake Li Chen, he would take care of him, and even make sure that he revealed his true identity in front of everyone there.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the gathering of geniuses.
Wan Tongtian sat on top of the great hall, below him were all the various talented experts, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. If these people could all be used by him, in less than a hundred years, he would definitely be able to rule over the entire Profound Yellow Continent!
Unfortunately, he knew that he was only thinking about it.
Thank you all for being able to participate in the genius gathering organized by my Beiming Nation. Everyone here is an expert who can rule one region.
Wan Tongtian spoke a few polite words, but whether it was intentionally or not, his gaze landed on the real Li Chen.
Wan Tongtian had long known who among the two was the real Li Chen and who was the fake Li Chen from Xiong Ke's explanation. Now that his gaze faintly glanced over, he actually saw the fake Li Chen's face revealing a faint self-confidence. He couldn't help but be taken aback, and felt that this fake Li Chen seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve.
As for the real Li Chen, he did not have any special expression on his face. His eyes were as deep as the sea, so it was obvious that he was not a simple person.
Wan Tongtian's heart subconsciously tightened.
He pondered for a long while, then said: "Recently, our country's master has heard of an extremely interesting thing, among the people who came to attend the genius gathering, two people who claimed to be Li Chen actually appeared."
Everyone in the audience started to whisper, everyone knew that Wan Tongtian wanted to clarify the truth of the matter.
"Your Majesty!" The fake Li Chen stood up and said righteously, "I am Li Chen who came from the Sword Seeking Sect of the Vast Sky Empire! I wonder which vile person actually impersonated me and wanted to do whatever he wanted in the palace! I believe that His Majesty can definitely give me an explanation! "
If Wan Tongtian did not know the whole story, he would have believed more than half of the fake Li Chen's words.
After all, even though there was a case of a thief calling for a thief, not many people would have the guts to do so in front of a king!
But Wan Tongtian had obviously underestimated the shamelessness of this fake Li Chen.
He lightly smiled and said, "I believe that everyone heard what this Li Chen said just now. This matter can be big or small, and as the ruler of the Beiming Nation, I will definitely investigate everything thoroughly! However, you all said that you are from the Sword Seeking Sect of Tianqiong Empire, what proof do you have of your identity? "
Wan Tongtian's words were on the fake Li Chen's heart, he was secretly delighted, thinking about the thing that the masked man handed to him a few days ago, he took it out and said, "This is my Sword Seeking Sect's jade pendant! I think this should prove my identity! "
When the jade pendant appeared, everyone looked at the real Li Chen with doubt.
Li Chen was startled for a moment, he never thought that the other party would already be prepared for this, he sighed, and never thought that one day, he would still need to take out something to prove his identity.
"What about you?" Wan Tongtian indicated for Li Chen to take out one or two things that could prove his innocence.
Li Chen sighed, and said: "I do not have this kind of thing with me."
Once he said that, the fake Li Chen had a complacent look on his face: "Your Majesty! The truth of the matter was clear! I also hope that His Majesty will bring this person to justice and give me justice. "
Wan Tongtian was also a little disappointed. He had thought that Li Chen would take something out to prove his identity, but now, he couldn't even take something out to speak for him.
Li Chen laughed, "Young master, why are you so anxious to take care of me? One must know that a fake is always a fake, and a fake is always true. No matter how one fakes up, a flaw will always appear!
However, as matters stood, he naturally could not cower. Not only did he not cower, he even had to claim that he was the real one!
"How stubborn!" The evidence is right in front of you, how can you deny it! " The fake Li Chen said fiercely.
Li Chen laughed, "How can there be someone like you in this world! It is truly a case of not crying until one sees the coffin! " As Li Chen said this, his body suddenly released a golden light.
