Chapter 32 Drawing a Clear Line
It turned out that the 8th Imperial Prince was suspicious of the 9th Prince’s departure. He sensed that the 9th Prince was in front of the palace and was chatting with the abandoned Prince, Qin Chen. The Prince even wanted to bring the 9th Prince back to the Great Qin Dynasty, so he immediately came out to stop him.
What kind of joke was this? Qin Chen’s mother’s faction had fought with the current Empress’ faction in the past and lost. As a result, Qin Chen’s mother had been banished to the cold palace, and her faction was also suppressed. They were not as great as they used to be.
The current Imperial Lord did not like that faction either.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the faction was quite powerful, it would have long been suppressed and crippled.
Qin Chen was just an abandoned Prince as well as a mortal with a useless body. Even though he had broken through the shackles of the mortal body, he was still only a weak cultivator at the Mingquan Realm, which was insignificant and not worthy of the attention of the Imperial Lord and the Empress. Now was an important moment for the major factions to support their chosen Princes and Princesses to fight for the position of the Crown Prince. They could not make any mistakes, even if it was just a small one.
After all, the attitude of the Imperial Lord and the Empress was also very important.
Furthermore, if the other Crown Prince competitors knew about this, they would definitely use it to attack the 9th Prince’s faction.
As one of the core figures of the 9th Prince’s faction, the 8th Imperial Prince could not allow such a thing to happen. He had to stop it from happening no matter what.
“But…” The 9th Prince was anxious, and he wanted to refute.
“No buts, that’s the end of this,” The 8th Imperial Prince glanced at the aging Qin Chen and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the latter with no affection and said indifferently, “17, at least you have some self-awareness and know how to refuse. If your 9th brother’s future is ruined because of you, you can’t bear the responsibility. As for you, if your 9th brother becomes the Imperial Lord in the future and you haven’t died of old age, you can go back and confer upon you the title of a Prince.”
Of course, he didn’t think that Qin Chen could live to that age, because Kings could live for two to three thousand years. The Imperial Lord was in his prime, and he would probably continue to hold the throne for a few hundred years before he officially abdicated. At that time, Qin Chen might not even be alive.
At this time, the other imperial family’s disciples also came out one after another and dissuaded, “9th brother, now that you’ve become a Qiyao Realm King, your chances of becoming Crown Prince are very high if there is nothing unexpected. You might even have the greatest chance of becoming the Imperial Lord. You can’t waste all your efforts because of an abandoned Prince.”
“9th brother, if you bring this trash Qin Chen back, you will definitely be attacked by the other imperial family experts. It will be very disadvantageous for you to fight for the Crown Prince position.”
Qin Chen furrowed his brows. Although he did not want to return to the Great Qin Dynasty, these people’s attitudes made him very displeased. He really wanted to show his true cultivation and send these guys flying with a single slap.
But after thinking about it, there was no need to expose himself just because of these guys. It would only cause countless troubles. He could just find an opportunity to secretly beat them up.
After all, they had come to the Taiyi Holy Land to visit the Elder King. He would just appear later and teach these guys a lesson.
After thinking it through, Qin Chen’s mood brightened. He said to the 9th Prince, “9th brother, I’m already very happy with your kind intentions. I also hope that you can become the next Imperial Lord. At that time, no one will be able to object to you bringing me back.”
The 9th Prince went silent. After a long while, he said to Qin Chen, “I’m sorry, 17th brother. You have to wait for me. I will definitely become the Imperial Lord.”
“I believe 9th brother will definitely succeed!”
“Oh, if it isn’t my 8th brother and nephew Qin Feng?” At this moment, a mocking voice was heard.
A group of people descended from the sky. They were the other Imperial Princes, Princes, and Princesses of the Great Qin Dynasty, who were being invited in by the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other higher-ups of the Holy Lands.
The 8th Imperial Prince frowned. As expected, they had all come.
The 9th Prince Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He raised his head to look at the Princes and Princesses and said, “3rd Imperial uncle, 11th Imperial uncle, 19th Imperial uncle, and brother, 7th brother, 13th sister, you’re here too.”
Three Imperial Princes had arrived with their Prince and Princesses. Immediately, their eyes fell on Qin Chen, who was dressed in a green handyman’s robe. Although he looked much older, they could still recognize him. They could not help but be slightly stunned. Wasn’t he the 17th Prince, Qin Chen, who had been expelled from the royal family?
The King-level Imperial Princes frowned slightly. They were very disdainful of the fact that this descendant of the Imperial Lord had been reduced to a handyman. They weren’t dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Taiyi Holy Land either because in their eyes, Qin Chen, an abandoned Prince, was not even qualified to be part of the royal family. They did not approve of him.
The other Princes and Princesses also glanced at him and turned a blind eye. Even if they recognized him, they did not have the slightest expression, treating him like roadside weeds, not putting him in their eyes at all.
If it was any other time, they wouldn’t have bothered. However, they clearly saw the 9th Prince chatting with the abandoned Prince, so they couldn’t help but have some thoughts.
“It seems that nephew Qin Feng is quite close to Qin Chen. I wonder what the Imperial Lord’s opinion will be after he finds out about this?” the 3rd Imperial Prince said.
The 8th Imperial Prince naturally knew what these people’s goal was. He was also a Lord of a region, so he naturally had a strong mentality. His expression did not change as he said, “3rd brother, you’ve misunderstood. Feng’er just happened to meet the abandoned Prince. With Feng’er’s identity, how could he be familiar with Concubine Yang’s useless descendant?”
In just a few words, he had completely cut off the relationship between the 9th Prince and Qin Chen.
The 9th Prince opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say anything. He looked at Qin Chen with guilt.
“Is that so?” The 3rd Imperial Prince and the others looked at the 9th Prince and Qin Chen. Seeing that they couldn’t get any important information, they were disappointed and could only enter the Taiyi Main Hall.
On the way, when they passed by the 8th Imperial Prince, they sneered, “8th brother, it seems that you haven’t had the time to rope in Elder King from the Taiyi Holy Land. You’re a step too slow. It’ll depend on how capable each of us is later.”
The 8th Imperial Prince’s face darkened as he watched them leave.
