Not long after, Han Chutai of Qinglong Palace also returned from the palace to Qinglong Palace, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood. As he walked, he said loudly: "This is really a cycle of heaven, retribution is not good!"
"Did something happy happen to the old prince?"
Seeing King Qinglong returning to his mansion, an old servant on the side naturally rushed to greet him.
Han Chutai was smiling almost from ear to ear at this moment, and said while laughing:
"Before the morning court meeting, the first disciple of Meng Haoran was drained of all his energy and blood by the Demon Sect, and after the Demon Sect killed the first disciple of Meng Haoran, a mummy was delivered to the door of Feihonghou Mansion. What a pleasure!
"
"You have never seen Meng Haoran look like his dead son in the morning court. The more I think about it, the happier I am!"
The reason why Meng Haoran reacted like this is actually reasonable.
Huo Fulang was not only his direct disciple who had followed him for many years, but also had the deepest relationship with him among all his disciples. He was also the most important chess piece arranged by Meng Haoran in Guangming Academy.
As the leader of the Feihong Alliance, Huo Fulang plays an important role in recruiting talents in Guangming Academy for Meng Haoran and winning people's hearts. To Meng Haoran, Huo Fulang's value is simply like that of a general who commands a million troops.
But after Huo Fulang died this time, there was no one close to Meng Haoran in the Feihong Alliance who could control the situation, which meant that the decline of the Feihong Alliance was doomed.
Even with the intervention of the Giant Spirit Palace, it is not unusual for the entire Feihong Alliance to be completely disintegrated in the end.
Seeing that King Qinglong was rarely so happy, the old servant naturally struck while the iron was hot and said quickly: "I see you are so happy, old prince. In fact, there is another happy event that I have not informed you of, old prince, and that is that Master Jiulin has returned to the palace!"
After hearing the news, King Qinglong's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately stopped his smile and looked at the old servant and said:
"You should go immediately to block the news about Master Jiulin's return to the palace and not let anyone leak it. Also, ask Master Jiulin to come to the study to see me immediately without any delay."
"Yes, old prince."
Although the old servant didn't know what King Qinglong meant by this move, since King Qinglong ordered it, he just had to do it.
The reason why Qinglong King took such measures was because Meng Haoran had previously determined that Huo Fulang died at the hands of a strong man from the Demon Sect. It was all because Huo Fulang died after being drained of all his energy and blood. This kind of death
The method completely conforms to the characteristics of the bloodthirsty demonic power.
Although Han Jiulin's "Beiming Magic" can also swallow the blood of others, in Meng Haoran's eyes, the difference in cultivation between Han Jiulin and Huo Fulang was too big, so Han Jiulin was ruled out as a suspect without careful consideration.
It's just that as soon as Huo Fulang's front leg died, Han Jiulin immediately returned to the Qinglong Palace. This was too much of a coincidence.
Qinglong King had a vague feeling that Huo Nenglang's death must be related to Han Jiulin. He was worried that that boy Meng Haoran would retaliate against Han Jiulin, so he took this step.
Not long after King Qinglong entered the study, there were knocks on the door of the study.
"Come in."
After Han Jiulin entered, he saw Qinglong King Han Chutai sitting in front of the desk.
After Han Chutai carefully observed Han Jiulin, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. He looked at Han Jiulin and asked, "Jilin, how many pints of mortal realm have you reached now?"
"Reporting to Grandpa, Jiulin has now reached the realm of four pints of mortals."
Han Jiulin bowed deeply to King Qinglong and then replied.
Although Qinglong King Han Chutai is not Han Jiulin's real grandfather, Han Jiulin has already treated him as a relative in his heart and has always respected him very much.
King Qinglong couldn't help but feel even more surprised when he heard Han Jiulin's reply. However, in more than a year, Han Jiulin's cultivation has made such rapid progress, which is really unbelievable.
But although King Qinglong was surprised, his face showed no emotion. He looked at Han Jiulin and asked, "Did Meng Haoran's direct disciple Huo Fulang die in your hands?"
"good."
Facing Qinglong King Han Chutai, Han Jiulin didn't need to keep the matter secret at all and responded quickly.
King Qinglong looked at Han Jiulin and nodded approvingly, then laughed loudly and said:
"Well done, you are worthy of being the future heir of my Qinglong Palace. Even your father, when he was your age, would definitely not be able to match your current cultivation level. You really are better than your master!"
"Transporting Huo Fenglang's body to the gate of Feihonghou Mansion has indeed severely extinguished Meng Haoran's arrogance, but you should not have returned to the imperial capital so quickly. If you were seen by people from Feihonghou Mansion,
If so, this matter will definitely be suspected on you."
Han Jiulin smiled and said: "So what if you have doubts?
Jiulin has experienced countless bloody storms on the way from the imperial capital to Black Dragon Cliff this time, and there will definitely be a decisive battle between me and Meng Haoran sooner or later."
"In this case, why should I hide it? Even if he finds out that I killed Huo Nenglang, so what?
I want to see how he can attack me."
After hearing this, King Qinglong looked at Han Jiulin deeply, and then asked: "Jilin, you have found out the truth about the murder eleven years ago, right?"
Han Jiulin nodded and answered.
"How much of the truth do you know now?"
Han Chutai looked at his most beloved grandson and asked.
Han Jiulin said: "I know everything that should be known, and Jiulin also knows most of the things that should not be known."
"In that case, do you still insist on pursuing the investigation?"
King Qinglong asked.
Han Jiulin shook his head and then said: "Grandpa, you can rest assured that Jiulin knows how to do things properly. We can launch a strong attack against Meng Haoran, but there are people who should not be investigated. Jiulin will never seek death."
.”
King Qinglong smiled and nodded after hearing this, and then spoke:
"Jiulin... It's best that you understand this truth. Now that you have returned to the palace this time, you won't go out for the time being. When grandpa chooses a good day, he will officially enthrone you as the future of our Qinglong Palace.
The successor!”
Although Han Jiulin had no intention of participating in the power struggle within the court, he knew very well that in order to survive in a cruel world like the Shenwu Continent, he must become stronger.
Only after he becomes stronger can he save Qin Linxi from Meng Haoran and restore her memory.
After becoming the official heir of Qinglong Palace, the cultivation resources he can obtain will definitely increase exponentially, so Han Jiulin naturally has no reason to refuse this matter.
