"Why, isn't my meaning clear enough? Does His Highness the Crown Prince have anything else to say?"
Seeing that Xuan Jiuding did not leave as he was told, Yun Xiao suddenly felt wary in his heart. Could it be that the prince was so soft-hearted that he wanted to be tough?
Previously, Yun Xiao had the same idea as Yu Shu, thinking that in a place like Tianyue Pavilion, even the imperial prince Xuan Jiuding would not dare to mess around.
It can be seen that after seeing Xuan Jiuding's skills, Yun Xiao was a little unsure, and he could also vaguely sense that the prince's strength was probably much stronger than the two geniuses of the Jade Pot Sect.
But he is absolutely no match.
Fortunately, Yun Xiao's precautions did not come in handy. No matter how much Xuan Jiuding wanted to get the key in Yun Xiao's hand, he did not dare to take the risk. This was the key to his status as prince.
Although Xuan Jiuding has cultivated his power over the years and even controlled almost half of the courtiers, it is impossible for him to fall out with the real king before the time is ripe. The risk is too great.
So the next moment, Yun Xiao heard Xuan Jiuding say in a deep voice: "Yun Xiao, you may not care about money and status, but there is one thing that you may not be able to refuse!"
"What's up?"
Although Yun Xiao was determined not to compromise, at this moment he really wanted to hear what else the Crown Prince had to say. What was it that made him so confident?
"Your mother and sister probably also died in the battle when the merchants were wiped out, right? If you hand over the key in your hand to me, maybe I can provide you with some clues about the enemy!"
I have to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a man of his generation. These words really hit Yun Xiao's weakness. If there is one thing that he really cares about in this life, it can only be this one thing.
Even though Xuan Jiuding didn't know much about Yun Xiao's treatment at the merchant, he knew that this boy valued love and righteousness. He had probably been holding back his anger and wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate against his mother and sister.
.
Or maybe Xuan Jiuding heard something from Xuan Zhi. When Xuan Zhi and Bi Luo wanted to cause trouble for Yun Xiao at the outer gate, didn't they make up some lies about knowing the details of the extermination of the sect and let Guan Tong lure Yun Xiao there?
?
Since Yun Xiao doesn't care about money and status, he will do the opposite and use the revenge of killing his mother and sister to make this kid compromise. Now it seems that it is somewhat effective.
No, I can’t say it has only a few effects!
Xuan Jiuding looked at Yun Xiao's changing expression because of his words and knew that it had a great effect. Maybe he could really use this matter as a breakthrough to achieve his goal.
However, the next moment, Xuan Jiuding saw Yun Xiao raising his head, staring at himself and saying, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xuan Zhi are really brothers. The tricks used are exactly the same, but telling the same lie once is enough.
Do you think I’ll still believe it?”
It seems that Yun Xiao has thought about the incident from back then. That incident was obviously a lie made up by Xuan Zhi. He wanted Guan Tong to lure him to his residence and then frame him. In fact, he may not really know that the merchant was being raped.
Details of the extermination.
Xuan Jiuding was so thoughtful. After hearing the words, he was stunned for a moment, and he already knew the meaning of Yun Xiao's sneer. He knew that if he didn't come up with some substantial evidence, I'm afraid this young man with a mind as smart as a demon would not believe him at all.
.
"Yun Xiao, when the merchants were wiped out, you must have happened at the right time. Although I don't know how you survived, but do you have some impression of the name 'Yu Qian'?"
"Yu Qian? Yu Qian!"
Suddenly hearing these two words, Yun Xiao's eyes first flashed with confusion, and then his eyes suddenly lit up as if he remembered something.
When the merchant was wiped out, it happened to be a battle for the Yuhu Sect's quota. When those uninvited guests entered the merchant, Yun Xiao was being cornered by the merchant's second-in-command, Shang Ying.
A tall, thin old man appeared first. Yun Xiao only remembered that there was a black star-shaped mark tattooed on the back of one of his hands, but he knew nothing about the rest.
But what impressed Yun Xiao the most was the name that came out of the tall, thin old man's mouth, and that name was called "Yu Qian". He would never forget these two words.
It's just that on the Qianlong Continent, there were probably hundreds to hundreds of people named Yu Qian. The vast continent asked him to look for it, but he never expected that the name "Yu Qian" would actually come from him at this moment.
Xuan Jiuding said it from his mouth.
Yun Xiao, who originally thought that Xuan Jiuding was just trying to find some excuse to defraud him of his keys, was caught in a tangle at this moment, because he knew that Xuan Jiuding, who could say the name "Yu Qian", didn't even know the merchant.
There must be some real clues to the whole story of how the family was wiped out.
At least Xuan Jiuding must know something about Yu Qian. If he can really find this Yu Qian, he may be able to use him as a breakthrough to find the real murderer behind the scenes, and he can also avenge his mother and sister.
At this moment, Yun Xiao was truly entangled. The hatred between his mother and sister had always been a thorn in his heart, and the black key was related to something related to Xueyue Jue.
Maybe you can use this thing to find your father.
How to weigh the two of them really puzzled Yun Xiao, and Xuan Jiuding on the side did not forget to add fuel to the fire, and heard him continue to say: "I can also tell you, that Yu Qian is not our Xuan
It’s not that easy for people from the Moon Empire to find him.”
Xuan Jiuding meant these two words to let Yun Xiao know not to use the power of the Yuhu Sect to find out the details of Yu Qian. Like the Xuanyue royal family, the influence of the Yuhu Sect is at most only that of Xuan Yue.
It's just an empire, and it has no deterrent to other empires in the Qianlong Continent.
At this moment, Xuan Jiuding felt an inexplicable confidence rise in his heart. Judging from the state of this young man, he should hand over the key to himself in order to avenge his mother and sister, right?
"Sorry, Your Highness, please go back!"
Unexpectedly, just when Xuan Jiuding was confidently waiting for Yun Xiao's reply, he was greeted by such an eviction order. Speaking of which, Yun Xiao had already tried to drive him away twice.
It seems that Yun Xiao has already thought about some things clearly and made a final decision while he was pondering. Or, in his opinion, it is just a secret about Yu Qian, which cannot be compared with the value of the black key.
wait.
Moreover, Yun Xiao also clearly knew that with Yu Qian's strength, even if he knew his true identity, with his current strength at the late stage of Chongmai Realm, he would not be able to take revenge in a short time.
Therefore, Yun Xiao believes that the most important thing is to improve his strength as soon as possible, and that black key may be the key to improving his strength.
Even Yun Xiao was still thinking that if he really got something that could cause Xueyue Jue to react, he might be able to find clues about his father with that thing.
Didn't those people slaughter the merchants just to find Xueyue Jue? After finding the cheap father, I'm afraid everything will come to light, and the clues provided by Xuan Jiuding will no longer be needed.
These are the many thoughts that flashed through Yun Xiao's mind in an instant. Revenge also requires strength. If you try to take revenge when you don't have the strength, you will end up getting yourself involved.
The decision made by Yun Xiao completely frustrated Dexuan Jiuding's last hope. He was originally in a good mood, but at this moment, he undoubtedly became extremely bad. In his life, he has never seen such a person who doesn't know how to praise.
You, the majestic prince of the empire, have condescended to Jianggui to come and ask for your help in person. You, a boy who is only at the late stage of the Chongmai realm and a loner with no family background, have actually rejected your proposal twice. This makes Xuan Jiuding's
Face, where to put it?
But this was Tianyue Pavilion or Tianzi No. 1 Pavilion. Even if he borrowed the courage from Xuan Jiuding, he would not dare to do anything to Yun Xiao here. After all, he was only a prince and could not cover the sky with one hand in the Xuan Yue Empire.
What's more, the leader of the Jade Pot Sect, Yushu, is not far away. If he misses a single blow and has Yushu rush over, His Highness the Prince will probably have to walk away without food.
Xuan Jiuding stared at Yun Xiao with a gloomy expression for a long time, wishing he could just slap the kid to death, and then take the waistband that might contain the black key as his own.
"Huh, let's just wait and see!"
After thinking for a long time, Xuan Jiuding finally did not dare to make any unnecessary moves towards Yun Xiao. After snorting coldly, he turned around decisively and left the pavilion without looking back.
However, after turning around and leaving the pavilion, Xuan Jiuding's state of mind had changed somewhat. Since Yun Xiao was a boy who refused to take hard and soft measures, he might have to use another method.
As the crown prince of the Xuanyue Empire, he has been able to rule a country in these years. In addition to his obvious political opinions, he is also able to use many shady methods at his fingertips.
Governing a country cannot be done with a kind heart. Even Xuan Haoran, who is known as a wise king, sometimes has to use some unseemly means.
Yun Xiao didn't know what the Crown Prince wanted to do to him, but after this incident, he had a completely new understanding of Xuan Jiuding. This guy was much more powerful than Xuan Zhi.
No matter in terms of pulse energy cultivation or status, Yun Xiao knew that he was far from being comparable to Xuan Jiuding. The only thing he could rely on might be the reincarnated soul of Long Xiao God of War.
As for the Yuhu Sect, Yun Xiao was not sure whether Yushu and the elders of the sect would quarrel with the behemoth royal family for a young disciple like himself in such a life-and-death situation.
For everything, you can only rely on yourself and place your hopes on others. This is definitely not Yun Xiao's style, because sometimes, external forces cannot be relied on.
It was amid these unquiet undercurrents that the annual birthday of Lord Xuanyue finally came with a bang amidst the roar of gongs and drums.
