Chu Zhiyuan gently shook the letter.
The letter turned into powder, blown out of the pavilion by a gentle breeze, scattering among the stone crevices outside.
Chu Zhiyuan stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Ruoling sat quietly to the side, saying nothing.
She knew the relationship between Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao well, knowing it was complex.
They were both rivals and collaborators.
Now, with Li Hongzhao becoming the emperor of Da Meng, their relationship had changed.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head, "She actually could have guessed my choice, she's deliberately making things difficult for me."
Su Qiuyan revealed a disappointed expression: "Does the heir not agree?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's impossible to agree, I can't abandon the interests of Da Jing for my own personal feelings, she must have more to say, right?"
This stemmed from his understanding of Li Hongzhao, one move after another, never giving up easily.
Su Qiuyan took out another letter from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.
This letter was far from comparable to the previous one, being five or six times thicker.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "She just loves to do this!"
Su Qiuyan said: "The Emperor said, with you, we have to do a few more rounds."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.
They had fought too many rounds, both knowing the other's tactics.
Chu Zhiyuan took the thick letter: "There's no more, right?"
"Indeed, this is the only one." Su Qiuyan said with a smile.
Chu Zhiyuan took it and opened it, quickly scanning the contents of the five letters, his brow gradually furrowing.
Xiao Ruoling stared at him.
"Alright, I will tell the Emperor to cooperate with your Da Meng." Chu Zhiyuan said: "The conditions for cooperating with Da Meng to enter the secret realm will be the same as with Da Zhen."
Su Qiuyan revealed a smile.
Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "There's no way, she really understands me, grasping my weakness."
Xiao Ruoling became even more curious.
Su Qiuyan cupped her fist and smiled: "Then I won't disturb you any longer, Heir, farewell."
"Mr. Su has come from afar, to leave like this, wouldn't it make me seem too impolite." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "It's not too late to leave after eating."
Su Qiuyan said: "The Emperor is waiting, - Heir, won't you write a reply?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "No need to write a letter, Mr. Su, just convey my message directly."
"... - Very well." Su Qiuyan nodded slightly.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Tell her, I have already found the entrance to the Second High-rise, it won't be long before I step into the Second High-rise."
"... - Yes." Su Qiuyan looked at him helplessly.
This was to fight with the Emperor from afar.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "As the wielder of the Son of Heaven Sword, she better not be surpassed by me, lest she won't be able to beat me even with the Son of Heaven Sword in the future."
"—" Su Qiuyan remained silent.
Chu Zhiyuan continued: "If the throne becomes a constraint on cultivation, then this throne is better off abandoned, don't let it cloud her mind, that's all."
"... - Yes." Su Qiuyan cupped her fist and was about to leave.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Wait a moment."
A flying knife floated out of his sleeve, gently falling in front of Su Qiuyan.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "This can be considered a return gift from me to her."
He had once given Li Hongzhao a flying knife, saying that holding this flying knife would repay that favor.
But Su Qiuyan clearly didn't plan to use that flying knife this time.
Now giving her another flying knife, was equivalent to giving another favor.
Because Li Hongzhao had indeed given him extremely important information.
Not only the news of the Evil Emperor's inheritance, but also the location of an Evil Sect's headquarters.
It was the old nest of the Jade Cauldron Sect, the location of the true old nest.
She also mentioned some secrets, that most of the Evil Sects of Da Jing had their headquarters in Da Meng or Da Zhen, and not in Da Jing.
Similarly, the Evil Sects of Da Zhen or Da Meng, had their headquarters in Da Jing instead.
Interlocking each other, to cut off the risk of the old nest being raided, it could be said to be cunning.
What Chu Zhiyuan valued most was the location of the Jade Cauldron Sect's old nest.
Raiding the Jade Cauldron Sect's old nest, would allow him to completely understand the roots of the Evil Sect.
To completely destroy the Evil Sect, one must first understand the true source of their power, and find a way to cut off this source of power.
He hadn't found it yet.
But the Jade Cauldron Sect's old nest was where his hope lay.
Of course, there was also the Sect Leader of the Devil Heart Sect, his gaze turned to the distance.
This Sect Leader of the Devil Heart Sect was changing positions, he didn't know if it was the real Sect Leader.
On the matter of the Jade Cauldron Sect's old nest, Li Hongzhao wouldn't deceive him, and what Li Hongzhao controlled was the top secret that only the Emperor could see.
Chu Zhiyuan admitted that he could now see the information from the Surveillance Division, and the information from the Godslayer Division.
But the information he could see was still far from the information the Emperor could see.
There was too much information that he couldn't see, couldn't even hear, couldn't even imagine.
As Li Hongzhao said.
He suspected that this information wasn't just known by Li Hongzhao, but also by the Emperor of Da Jing and the Emperor of Da Zhen.
Perhaps this was also the reason why they were reluctant to ruthlessly eradicate the Evil Sects.
The old nest was in another dynasty, so it was impossible to eradicate them, failure after failure, wasting effort, and instead weakening the court's prestige.
"What did Ninth Highness say?" Xiao Ruoling asked curiously.
Chu Zhiyuan then told her the contents of Li Hongzhao's letter.
Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows: "Is this really okay? Shouldn't the court's negotiations not be interfered with?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "This is actually the court's original intention."
Xiao Ruoling was stunned.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The court doesn't want to go to war with Da Meng either, and is willing to seek peace, not wanting to force Da Meng too much, — — — —" Of course, this idea is just the Emperor's idea, and hasn't been told to the court officials yet."
He had inadvertently talked about this while talking to Chu Qingyan.
Chu Qingyan was staying in the Qing Prince's Mansion and often chatted and played chess with Chu Minghou.
Chu Zhiyuan would sometimes join them for a chat when he returned to the Prince's Mansion.
He had inadvertently talked about this.
This was a secret among secrets, but Chu Qingyan didn't hide it from them.
In his mind, Chu Minghou was a loyal and filial prince, and Chu Zhiyuan was the next emperor, both being his own people, so there was no need to keep it a secret.
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled: "You're being generous with other people's property."
"It's also a coincidence." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "In addition to this, some statues will also be sent, it can be said to be full of sincerity."
Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly: "Ninth Highness is giving so much, it's indeed difficult to refuse."
As the White Bone Tower grew taller and taller, there were almost no more Evil Sect disciples appearing around.
The bold ones had already turned into white bones on the White Bone Tower, and the timid ones no longer dared to come.
Purple Sun Manor had become a forbidden place for the Evil Sect demons.
The Evil Sect Grandmaster that people had originally expected not only didn't appear, but no Evil Sect disciple dared to approach Purple Sun Manor.
The originally unknown Purple Sun Manor, was now being spread by word of mouth throughout Jade Capital City and even the entire world, and had already become famous throughout the world.
The owner of the manor, the Fourth Prince of Da Jing, Chu Zhiyuan, had also become famous as a result.
People previously knew that Chu Zhiyuan had strong aptitude, but it was only spread within a small range.
Now, the entire world knew that the Fourth Prince Chu Zhiyuan had peerless aptitude and heaven-reaching cultivation, and had single-handedly shaken the various Evil Sects.
