A deadly silence enveloped the large hall of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou's words surprised everyone.
'How could this shy, eloquent, and eccentric man become the Third Prince of Great Yan?'
'There is nothing about him that resembles someone from the palace!'
'Does master start senile?'
The disciples had different thoughts flowing in their minds. Naturally, none of them dared to express their thoughts.
Jiang Aijian was stunned for a moment. When he regained consciousness, he said, “Senior old, you are joking! How can I become the Third Prince? ”
Lu Zhou did not expect Jiang Aijian to admit it immediately. He said calmly, “Muridku, that bastard, Ye Tianxin, spent five years digging the palace archives, and the conclusion he got was that I was the one behind the Dragon Fish Village incident. However, a rogue cultivator like you managed to discover the truth. How do you manage it?”
Jiang Aijian said, “I already told you. I have friends in the palace.”
Hu Wudao who had just entered the large hall asked, "What kind of friend has access to such confidential information?"
“...” Jiang Aijian is at a loss for words.
Hua Wudao continued, "Greetings, Your Majesty." After all, he was from the Yun Sect. He could never discard convoluted and overly complicated etiquette.
Seeing this, who knew whether it was the power of habit or cunning, Jiang Aijian said solemnly, "You can throw away the formality." As soon as he realized his mistake, he covered his mouth with a hand. He said in haste, “Misunderstanding! Completely misunderstood! Everything was wrong..” He sighed before finally saying, “Good..”.
Hua Wudao straightened himself with respect.
Lu Zhou nodded his head and said, “I have time. I'm not worried you won't admit it.”
Jiang Aijian said with a sigh, “I took pains to send information to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Old senior, I am deeply troubled by this treatment!”
Mingshi Yin interrupts, “Stop the nonsense! Since you are a prince, the Evil Sky Pavilion hurdle is also your barrier.”
It was clear Jiang Aijian had used the Evil Sky Pavilion. Who would be brave enough to do this? Even Yu Zhenghai, the Sect Master of the Nether Sect, did not dare to use the Evil Sky Pavilion when he tried to expand his territory even though he could do so.
Jiang Aijian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Crosses! I'm crying rotten! I told the old senior that I hated schemes and deception in the palace. That's why I left the palace and all the bullshit and strife there. No matter how many obstacles you get rid of, old senior, I cannot go back to being prince.”
Hua Wudao said, "Your Majesty, why do you maintain relations with the palace, then?"
Jiang Aijian sighed again when he heard Hua Wudao's question. “Although I am a prince, I have some good friends. You can laugh at me if you want, but I admire the lives of ordinary people. However, it was hard to only care for oneself under the skies of Great Yan. I had no choice but to take Jiang Aijian's alias and become a free and unfettered rogue cultivator. ”
“Three Sword Freaks have a cultivation base in the Nascent Tribulation God Realm. It is impressive for His Majesty to achieve this as a rogue cultivator, ” Hua Wudao said respectfully.
"It was just a false reputation .." said Jiang Aijian.
"Good speech!" Lu Zhou said, "If you're not interested in this, why did you betray your own brother?"
Jiang Aijian was shocked.
'The mastermind behind the incident of the Fish Dragon Village was the Second Prince. Not only did you not defend your brother, but you even stabbed him in the back. Who would believe that you have no personal interest in this?'
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Aijian at this moment. The current situation resembles a court in which a criminal is being examined. He, Jiang Aijian, was the main character of this trial.
Jiang Aijian sighed and said, "The most capricious people under the heavens are the princes."
Inside the palace walls, other than protocols and rules, there was nothing else important but power and status. There is no place for family relationships.
"Isn't that for your sixth disciple?" Jiang Aijian asked in confusion.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "That's not all... Do you know Ding Fanqiu?"
Hua Wudao frowned slightly upon hearing Ding Fanqiu's name. He said, "Ding Fanqiu is a member of my Yun Sect."
Mingshi Yin replied, “Older Hua, please pay attention to your current position and attitude. Ding Fanqiu disguised herself as my master and committed crimes wherever she went. He defamed both the master and the Evil Sky Pavilion. According to the rules, he had to be cut into eight pieces and thrown into the back of the mountain to feed the ferocious beasts! ”
“...” Hua Wudao's old face flushed. When he came to the Evil Sky Pavilion, he had already resigned from his post as the elder of the Yun Sect.
"I've heard of him," said Jiang Aijian grimly.
"Ding Fanqiu told me that all the commotion in the Heaven Measuring River Dragon Fish Village was finding a special bone," Lu Zhou said.
"Is that so?" Jiang Aijian scratched his head.
"Jiang Aijian .. do you think I'm gullible?" Lu Zhou's overcast eyes looked at Jiang Aijian sharply.
Jiang Aijian was uncomfortable with this and did not know how to react. Finally, he said, "Old senior, since you already know about this, why should you ask?" It's as good as a confession.
Lu Zhou asked, "The palace has been fishing for corpses from the river for a decade. Do you think the palace got anything? ”
"No."
"What is this special bone?" Lu Zhou asked again.
"Nh ..." Jiang Aijian looked around himself. He seemed to notice the many pairs of ears here.
Lu Zhou did not mind this at all. He said, "You must understand that at this point, there is no meaning in hiding these things from me."
Jiang Aijian cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. At this moment, his reckless demeanor seemed to have disappeared when he said, “I don't need to lie to you, senior elder. To be honest, I think many of them have forgotten that I was a prince of the palace since I left the palace many years ago. There aren't many of my friends left in the palace either. In a few years, perhaps, there will be no Third Prince in this world.” He continued to say, “While investigating the incident at the Heaven Measuring River, two people were killed. Naturally, they could not blame anyone for their lack of skills. ”
The great hall was silent now.
Jiang Aijian continued, “My brother is a cruel man. He is not worthy to be the ruler of this nation.”
"I believe you," Lu Zhou said.
"Thank you, old senior ..."
"Jiang Aijian, do you think, could it be that the bone is the bone of the Bai person?" Lu Zhou asked calmly.
"Bai .. person ..." Jiang Aijian shook his head. “There was a rumor in the palace that Bais' bones could help a person overcome his life's limits. If that was the case, what was the point of fishing for bones in the river for the past ten years?
No one had managed to find the alleged treasure after saving the bones of the Bai people from the bottom of the river for a decade. Therefore, the goal of this operation might have shifted to something other than Bai's bones for ten years.
“Senior old, I've said what I have to say. I will be honest and acknowledge that I have an interest in this. It's okay if you don't give me a good sword, ” said Jiang Aijian.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I told you I hate petty men who don't keep their promises. Since I have already promised you a sword, I will definitely fulfill my promise.”
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhou raised his hand and waved it slowly. A black object appeared and floated towards Jiang Aijian.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on that black thing. They could not help but wonder what treasures the Evil Sky Pavilion Master had given Jiang Aijian.
