Chapter 5181

The fifth prince said: "Thank you Daoist Ye for your advice, but the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to me. What do you think I should do? Could it be that I have to do my best to please my father now, so that I can have a chance of survival?"

Ye Wudao smiled and said: "Fifth Prince, the advantage is still on our side. We can't say that our lives are hanging by a thread. Now we still have to see what the Holy One means. The most critical part of the battle between you and the Sixth Princess is, It still depends on your father’s thoughts.”

"If you act too deliberately, it will arouse the resentment of the Holy One. If you don't show your methods, the Holy One will also think that you are too weak. So now, you need merit."

"Achievements..." The fifth prince thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that you are cheating on me. It's time to dedicate yourself to the people of Shenxia and suppress the evil cultivators in our Shenxia territory."

"Oh?" Ye Wudao said with a strange look in his eyes, "Could it be that His Highness has been prepared for this?"

The fifth prince said smugly: "As expected, you have seen it. These preparations have been made a long time ago, but Lord Shangshu has been holding back to prevent me from being in the limelight. Now is the time."

Ye Wudao knew clearly that Wu Shangshu must have wanted to suppress the reputation of the Sixth Prince and made some progress before taking this step. In this case, with comparison, the power of the Fifth Prince could be highlighted.

Unexpectedly, Ye Wudao appeared midway, ruining the fifth prince's plan and making the fifth prince suspicious of the martial arts scholar.

If it were not for Ye Wudao, I am afraid that the fifth prince would have succeeded. In the situation within the Shenxia Dynasty, the fifth prince might have the upper hand, and the sixth prince would never have much chance.

Of course, no matter how much his subordinates argue, everything depends on the emperor's wishes.

It is true that the emperor pays great attention to his reputation, but if he really wants to promote a certain child, no matter how much resistance he has, he will not be able to stop him.

Nowadays, the most unpredictable and uncertain thing for Ye Wudao is the emperor's thoughts. He has been promoted to the position of third-rank official before he has ever met the emperor.

The speed of progress was so fast that Ye Wudao had no time to strategize and fully grasp the real power.

Of course, he has no intention of being greedy for power. He just wants to work hard to improve his cultivation. Moreover, in Shenxia's court, there are intrigues every day, and he doesn't have that much time to engage in intrigues.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wudao said: "His Highness's plan can be implemented as soon as possible. The top priority now is to improve His Highness's status in the eyes of the Holy Emperor."

"In addition, Your Highness, I would like to express my sincerity, resign from my current official position, and recommend someone else to the Holy Spirit, please give Your Highness instructions!"

In other words, Ye Wudao will give up his current position as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry to the person designated by the fifth prince.

This can be said to be full of sincerity, because both the fifth prince and he knew very well that no matter how nice they said to each other, in fact, there was no basis for trust between the two. With just a few words, the fifth prince would not completely trust Ye Wudao.

If Ye Wudao didn't take retreat as an opportunity to advance, the fifth prince might still be persuaded by Wu Shangshu in the end.

Although Wu Shangshu and the fifth prince are suspicious now, their suspicions can be eliminated slowly. By then, Ye Wudao will have no chance to infiltrate.

The fifth prince then pretended to be stupid and said, "Oh? My Taoist friend is very capable and can definitely take on the position of assistant minister. If you don't have enough experience, just take your time. Why worry?"

Ye Wudao sighed: "His Highness has high regard for me. In terms of ability, there must be many people under His Highness who are more capable than me. And people like me, in His Highness's view, may be duplicitous."

Such a sincere statement made the fifth prince sincerely express his admiration. After all, Ye Wudao came from the lower world and was well-informed. He knew when to express his sincere attitude.
