The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 183
Ling Han laughed and said, "A few years ago, I was having lunch at a restaurant and coincidentally met a pair of assassins. Moreover, three members of the Black Cloud Army even died."
The Eldest Imperial Prince was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Young Master Han was also on the scene that day?"
"En." Ling Han nodded and said, "The woman seems to be a member of the Imperial Family, right? From his appearance, he had not reached thirty years of age, yet had stepped into the Spiritual Ocean Tier. His achievement was truly something amazing. "
The face of the Eldest Imperial Prince instantly darkened. He was silent for a moment, then said, "This woman's name is Xu Ke Xin, she had entered the court just a few years ago. My Imperial Father named her as Empress Yun, and loved her dearly. Since Young Master Han knows that the strength of the nation can help one to break through the Flower Blossoming Tier, then you should know that it can also help accelerate one's cultivation rate. However, the strength of the nation is still limited, yet my Imperial Father actually used most of it on a woman. Hengs! "
The last words of the Eldest Imperial Prince were already extremely traitorous as he dared to actually criticize the actions of the current Emperor. However, from his tone it was also very clear that the Eldest Imperial Prince was very unhappy with this Xu Ke Xin.
Ling Han recalled back to Xu Ke Xin's natural seductive appearance, and couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that even the Rain Emperor would be head over heels on it. She is a charming beauty. It was obvious how much the Emperor doted on him just from the fact that he could leave the palace with the Black Cloud Army as his bodyguard. If he didn't get the Emperor's help, then, as an Imperial Consort, how could he just leave the Imperial Palace?
"Does this Consort Yun have children?" Ling Han asked casually.
“Thank God, no.” The Eldest Imperial Prince shook his head. Otherwise, based on the way the Rain Emperor doted on him, neither he nor the Third Imperial Prince would have to waste their time competing for the throne.
As they spoke, time passed and they had arrived at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion. Just when they had just gotten off their carriage, they saw a young man approaching them and saying, "This Sun Zi Yan greets His Imperial Majesty!"
Sun Zi Yan's?
A thought flashed across Ling Han's head. He turned around to look at this young man. The latter is average in terms of appearance and quite tall and slim. He should have just stepped into the Gushing Spring Tier because his aura was still unstable.
"Pour goodness, Zi Yan." The Eldest Imperial Prince raised his hand slightly, naturally emitting the aura of a ruler.
The most powerful and greatest clan in the Rain Country was naturally the Qi Family, who held control over the political court and had power that spread throughout their Empire.
However, the Sun Clan was only slightly below the Qi Family in status, so Sun Zi Yan was not really afraid of the Eldest Imperial Prince. After greeting, he turned to look at Ling Han and said, "Brother Ling, we finally meet."
It seemed like Sun Zi Yan was deliberately waiting for him here.
"Sun Zi Yan, what do you want?" Liu Yu Tong asked coldly. As a good female servant, she naturally had to stand at the forefront.
A shocked and envious expression appeared on Sun Zi Yan's face. Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were known as the Twin Pearls of the Imperial City, and the number of people interested in them was enough to surround the entire Imperial City several times. He himself was also one of his admirers.
Unfortunately, it seemed like these two beautiful flowers were actually picked by the same man. This was truly something that would attract jealousy, jealousy, and hatred!
. . . If Ling Han knew his current thoughts, he would definitely shout out loud that he was innocent. The gods knew that he really did nothing. She's as pure as a little white flower.
Sun Zi Yan smiled and said, "I just want to resolve a bit of the conflict between me and Brother Ling."
"Oh, is there such a problem?" The Eldest Imperial Prince interrupted.
"This is just a little misunderstanding," Sun Zi Yan said in a dismissive tone.
"Oh?" Ling Han's eyes turned cold. "Are you talking about how your father-in-law coveted my two younger sisters, and when he didn't manage to cheat and kidnap them, he sent people to snatch them from me? So it was a misunderstanding, tsk, tsk ! "
Fury flashed across Sun Zi Yan's face, but he forced her down and said, "Sister Ling, aren't those two sisters unharmed and completely unharmed? I'm here to represent my father-in-law to apologize, and will also send you a gift as a thank you for accepting our apology, so please forget about this matter, Brother Ling, and not continue to do something that will only damage both sides. "
The Eldest Imperial Prince nodded, and said with a smile, "Since Zi Yan is so sincere, why doesn't Brother Ling give me some face and forgive Zi Yan and forget everything?"
Liu Yu Tong looked at him with a bit of worry. He knew Ling Han's personality very well and was afraid that Ling Han would have a direct conflict with the Eldest Imperial Prince.
Ling Han laughed out loud. When Sun Zi Yan and the Eldest Imperial Prince saw this, the two of them laughed as well, thinking that the "misunderstanding" had been resolved.
"Yuk!"
Both the Eldest Imperial Prince and Sun Zi Yan did not manage to take a breath back and coughed. Their faces darkened when they saw Ling Han. Since you don't agree to settle matters peacefully, then why are you laughing so happily?
"Brother Ling, I'm being very sincere here!" Sun Zi Yan's tone also deepened, a slight threat underlining her words.
Ling Han smiled calmly and said, "I also very sincerely tell you that there is no way that this matter will be resolved peacefully! Your old father-in-law is a complete froth, and continuing to let him stay in this world will only be a waste of food. "
"Brother Ling, do you intend to declare war with the Sun Clan with this?" Sun Zi Yan asked grimly.
"Hehe, Zi Yan, you're too harsh in your words, aren't you?" The Eldest Imperial Prince stepped out as a mediator. He did not want to first form a feud with the Sun Clan when he had yet to gain the support that would come with a friendly relationship with Ling Han.
Ling Han smiled and asked, "Sun Zi, Yan, can you really represent the Sun Clan?"
"You dare insult me?" Sun Zi Yan glared at him. This person must have been intentional, stopping while saying his name in such a way that Sun Zi came first, then followed by Yan.
"Yi, isn't Sun Zi Yan your name? So, does that mean saying your name is equivalent to insulting you? What a strange person." Ling Han shook his head.
"Heng, it's fine if you call my name in the usual way, but the way you called my name just now must have been intentional!" Sun Zi Yan stated harshly.
Ling Han revealed a very innocent expression, and asked, "How did I call you just now, again?"
"Sun Zi, Yan!" Sun Zi Yan was unsuspecting and repeated her name like Ling Han was calling her name now. But right after those words came out of his mouth, he finally realized his mistake and flew into a great fury as he shouted, "Ling Han, you dare to deceive me!"
"With a level of intelligence like yours, ai!" Ling Han shook his head. "You really only deserve to be a grandchild!"
"You seek death!" Sun Zi Yan was furious and directed a loud punch towards Ling Han.
Ting!
Liu Yu Tong stepped out and blocked Sun Zi Yan's fist with the hilt of his sword. He said coldly, "Sun Zi Yan, don't force me to pull my sword.
Sun Zi Yan took a step back and looked at Liu Yu Tong carefully. He is unable to detect the actual cultivation level, which makes it a proof that he has a better cultivation than him — he needs to be very careful when dealing with it.
"Haha, the two of you are important subjects of our nation, so please avoid getting involved in the conflict," the Eldest Imperial Prince interrupted, standing between the two of them.
Both of them were members of the Eight Great Clans. It was fine if it was just a spar, but if there were any casualties, then even an Imperial Prince like himself would have to bear the blame. At such a crucial moment in the battle for the throne, even the slightest mistake could cause him to lose all hope of his dream of inheriting the throne.
"When you return, let Chen Yun Xiang clean his neck properly, as I will personally send him to the executioner block," Ling Han said calmly, saying, but there was a very determined tone underlining his words.
Sun Zi Yan regained her composure, and asked, "Ling Han, should you do something that will hurt both sides?"
"What do you mean by hurting both sides?" Ling Han asked, smiling.
"Heng, since that is the case, then don't blame me for taking action!" Sun Zi Yan said coldly. "Let me give you some helpful advice. You should be more careful with your shops. The Imperial City was too big, so it was inevitable that some rogues would come to create trouble!"
Ling Han sighed, and said, "Then I have to eliminate the other Clan."
His words were spoken very lightly, but the Eldest Imperial Prince still faintly heard them and his expression instantly changed.
