âBoring. â
Xu Bai yawned and walked back to his residence. It didnât take long for him to return.
He had wanted to take a nap just now, but now he couldnât. So, Xu Bai took out the book he got from the Ninth Princess and started to check the progress bar.
On the other side, the Seventh Prince hurriedly returned to his palace. As soon as he sat down, he quickly said to the surrounding people.
âWhat did you guys think of Xu Baiâs strength?â
The surrounding space distorted and soon, a few players appeared beside the Seventh Prince.
âThis person is unfathomable. We canât beat him. Just now, he discovered our tracks in a single exchange.â
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he clenched his right fist slightly and hammered the armrest of the chair with force, making a thud.
âYou are the strongest experts under me. If I canât even defeat you, how can I avenge my hatred?â
The few of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They didnât say anything.
If they couldnât win, they couldnât win. They had nothing to say.
At this moment, the Seventh Princeâs expression became even more gloomy.
After a moment, a person dressed in plain clothes suddenly walked in from outside the door. He didnât show any respect and came directly to the Seventh Prince.
âGreetings, Seventh Prince.â
Although he said that he had seen it before, he did not look like he had seen it before. He did not even bend his waist.
The Seventh Prince did not care about this young manâs performance. He waved his hand and let the few experts retreat. Only then did he look at the plainly dressed young man in front of him.
âThe Prime Minister has twelve personal disciples. Which one are you?â
âThird.â âYour Highness, you can call me Wen Chengshu,â the young man in plain clothes said with a smile.â
âWhy are you looking for me?â â I donât have any interactions with the Prime Minister.â The Seventh Princeâs expression was calm.â Could it be because of Xu Bai?ââ
Wen Chengshu didnât hide anything. He nodded and said,ââThe Prime Minister knows that Your Highness and Xu Bai have a feud, so he sent me to help Your Highness.â
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips.â Thereâs nothing free in this world. Why do you want to deal with Xu Bai?ââ
âFor the sake of the world.â Wen Chengshu didnât hide anything.â Xu Bai was born in Jianghu. He canât be put in an important position. Teacher said that Jianghu people canât be trusted. Besides, Teacher was expelled from the
Qingyun Academy back then. Xu Bai was favored by the Qingyun Academy.
Teacher didnât like it.â
His voice was calm, and there was nothing wrong with his face.
However, in this day and age, those who could hide their emotions were the most sinister and terrifying people.
âFor so many years, the Prime Minister has always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Even though many scholars are from the Qingyun Academy, they have never used any tricks.ââWhy do you want to deal with Xu Bai today?â the Seventh Prince asked.â
Even if the Seventh Prince was arrogant, it was just his personality. To be able to be a member of the royal family, he must have a lot of ideas and a certain level of intelligence.
Therefore, he quickly discovered that something was wrong and bluntly said it. This was also related to his character. If it was any other member of the royal family, they would definitely not say it and would only bury it in their hearts. However, the Seventh Prince was extremely arrogant, so he did not hide it.
âYour Highness, do you know why the teacher hasnât changed after so many years and is still sitting in that position?âWen Chengshu asked.
The Seventh Prince shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Anyone who was familiar with the Chu Kingdom would know that the Prime Minister had fought alongside the Chu Emperor.
However, ever since he became prime minister, he had different opinions on many problems. He was direct and pointed them out in front of all the civil and military officials.
Many a time, when the Chu Emperor proposed some plans, he would also point out the inadequacies and would not beat around the bush.
The Chu Emperor was a person who cherished old friendships, but he wasnât a fool. Some of the old people who had come with him that day had been greedy for pleasure after conquering the country. He had tried all means to remove them from their official positions and let them return to their hometown.
But until now, the position of Prime Minister remained unmoved, and no one dared to step over it.
The Seventh Prince was also very curious about this.
He had once seen in the royal study that his father had an argument with the prime minister. After the prime minister left, his father smashed his favorite antique to the ground and shattered it.
This showed that his father was very angry. However, he had never dismissed the position of prime minister.
He couldnât figure out the reason.
âBecause the Prime Minister has the ability. This is only one of the reasons. The second reason is that everything the Prime Minister has done is for the sake of Great Chu. He has no selfish motives. This is why His Majesty still trusts the Prime Minister.âWen Chengshu said bluntly.
The Seventh Prince instantly understood. Everything that the Prime Minister had done since the establishment of the Great Chu State had indeed not contained any selfishness.
âThen whyâŠTo deal with Xu Bai?
âBecause the Prime Minister believes that Xu Bai will definitely bring disaster to Great Chu.ââHe has already guessed what kind of reward His Majesty will give Xu Bai,â Wen Chengshu said.â
âWhat reward?â asked the Seventh Prince.â
Wen Chengshu opened his mouth, but he didnât say it directly. He mouthed it very slowly, and the Seventh Prince saw it clearly.
The Seventh Prince stood up abruptly with an expression of disbelief.âlmpossible!â
âThen do you think thereâs a better reward than this?âWen Chengshu said..
