Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 156: Conspiracy

The arrival of the two invitation letters was completely within Qin Wuyou's expectations. What he didn't expect was that not only did the two invitation letters from the Crown Prince and the Third Prince arrive at the same time, but the invitations were also made at exactly the same time.

Yun Che took the two invitations and read them quickly. The wording of the two invitation letters was very polite and sincere. First, they praised Yun Che, praising him as a dazzling rising star of the younger generation in the imperial city. After hearing that he had a battle with the disciples of the inner palace yesterday, he was filled with admiration and longing for a fight. Seeing his charm, he was invited to attend the birthday party and the beast fighting conference at noon ten days later, and asked him to go there with honor...

After seeing him finish reading, Qin Wuyou said: "I believe you expected to receive such an invitation letter. Any disciple who can enter the inner palace will be attracted by the crown prince and the third prince. What's more, after yesterday's battle, you His reputation has surpassed that of almost all the disciples in the inner palace. It doesn’t surprise me that these two invitations came so quickly. What are you going to choose?”

"Instructor Qin, how do you think I should choose?" Yun Che put the invitation down casually and asked.

Qin Wuyou shook his head: "There is no choice. You have little power and no background. You can't afford to offend both of them. Originally, your best choice was to go to both, and then use an ambiguous and tactful attitude. Neither of them refused, but neither of them agreed. But whether it was accidental or deliberate, the dates of these two invitations were exactly the same. If you went, you could only go to one, but no matter which one you went to, it was a direct statement. My own position is to completely offend the one who doesn’t go, and if you don’t go, it can be interpreted as ignoring them at the same time. If it were me, I don’t know what to do.”

Yun Che smiled and said: "Whether I am going to attend the birthday banquet or the beast fighting conference, there is still ten days to think about it anyway, so there is no need to rush. What I am more concerned about is... I am just a young disciple of Blue Wind Xuanfu. If As you said, my strength is extremely small in that big circle, why would the Crown Prince and the Third Prince invite me so kindly? "

"Your current personal strength is indeed low, but what they value is not your personal strength, but your current reputation and your huge potential in the future. You may not know that after yesterday's battle, your name has spread throughout the world Blue Wind Imperial City, and has been almost mythical in various versions of exaggerated rumors. Especially for the younger generation, they have a strong admiration and yearning for you. In addition, you have no background and are from a commoner. It is very easy to arouse the approval and support of countless young mystics from the common people. If you invest in any party, then the influence you already have will make the balance of the young mystics' wishes change to a certain extent due to your choice. Inclined. In addition, your current performance is destined to be extraordinary in the future. Your current strength is low, but in five or ten years, when you grow up, you will naturally be a great help to the prince and the third prince. Spare no effort to win over.”

Yun Che thought for a long time and nodded slowly: "I understand."

"The choice you make is entirely up to you. But I need to remind you that if you really join the service of the crown prince or the third prince, then Princess Cang Yue will cut off her relationship with you no matter how deep her feelings are for you." Qin Wuyou took a deep look at Yun Che and left with heavy steps. If Yun Che was just a pure Xuanfu disciple, even if he was ten times more talented, he would not be so anxious. However, the relationship between Yun Che and Princess Cang Yue made it impossible for him to take this matter lightly.

The fact that Yun Che was invited by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince at the same time was leaked out for some unknown reason. It was spread from one to ten, then to hundreds... In one afternoon, almost everyone in Blue Wind Profound Palace knew about it, and it could be heard everywhere. There are people talking about it.

"Hey! Did you hear that Yun Che received invitations from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince at the same time... It is really enviable. If you can join the service of the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, no matter which one you choose, you will have a lifetime of glory."

"Tsk tsk, just be envious. It is reasonable for a genius like Junior Brother Yun Che to be valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince at the same time. If you can surpass the seventh level and crush your opponent, I guarantee that you will be able to crush your opponent the next day. also received such treatment.”

"Do you think Junior Brother Yun Che will choose the Crown Prince or the Third Prince?"

"Well, it's hard to say. I heard that the crown prince and the third prince are incompatible with each other now. If I make the wrong choice, my master will fail to seize the throne in the future, and his life may be ruined."

………………

Blue Wind Imperial City, Zhenbei General's Mansion.

In the battle with Yun Che, Murong Yi was seriously injured and was sent back to the mansion by Feng Baiyi to recuperate on the same day. The rumors about Yun Che that were circulating around the city made Murong Yi grit his teeth and become furious. However, among these rumors, he became the pitiful and ridiculous supporting role... to be more precise, a stepping stone.

"Yun Che, I'm going to kill you... kill you!!"

Murong Yi had yelled this sentence hundreds of times in less than two days, each time with bone-cutting hatred. He had grown up with flattery and honor all his life. He had never suffered such humiliation, and it was also the first time he had such overwhelming resentment.

"Brother Murong, there is some news that may make you unhappy."

Feng Baiyi walked in and said with slanted eyebrows.

"What news!" Murong Yi sat up from the hospital bed and said solemnly: "Is it about Yun Che?"

"That's right." Feng Baiyi pinched his chin, his eyes gloomy: "I heard that he received invitations from the Crown Prince and the Third Prince at the same time today to participate in the Crown Prince's thirty-third birthday and the beast fighting conference supervised by the Third Prince."

"Papa..."

Murong Yi did not speak, but the crisp sound of bones dislocating could be heard between the fingers of his hands.

"Both the crown prince and the third prince extended an olive branch to him, and the invitations were all to such grand occasions, which shows that they attach great importance to Yun Che. Although they have wooed the inner disciples, they have never invited him. It is such an important occasion. In this case, it will be a bit difficult for us to openly give Yun Che some trouble. Even if your father comes forward, it is impossible to do it, otherwise we will undoubtedly not give face to the prince and the third prince. "Feng Baiyi said calmly.

"He must die...must die!!" Murong Yi yelled angrily, and the too violent movement suddenly pulled the wound, making him howl in pain.

Feng Baiyi glanced at him and said: "In this case, we can only do it secretly, and we must act quickly."

"Bai Yi, you must help me in this matter! Ever since I was a child, I have never been humiliated like this. All the dignity and glory I have gained in my life have been crushed by that bastard Yun Che! How could I How can I bear this tone and let him take advantage of my dignity?" Murong Yi's eyes were full of anger and sinisterness: "Baiyi, you must help me!"

"Don't worry, we have been good brothers for many years. You have suffered such humiliation. Of course, brothers will not ignore it." Feng Baiyi said leisurely: "Actually, you were too anxious about yesterday's battle. At first, you and Yun Che In a bare-handed fight, they are basically evenly matched. His talent is indeed astonishing. At the second level of Zhenxuan, he can actually exert a mysterious strength similar to yours. However, after all, there is a gap of seven levels between you. He can exert a mysterious strength similar to yours. , but when it comes to the foundation and depth of his profound strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to compare with you. As long as you continue to fight with him with your bare hands, he will gradually be unable to hold on and will definitely lose. But you will be unable to attack for a long time. Then the weapon was chosen.”

"How can I not be impatient when I can't get the upper hand against someone who is seven levels weaker than me?" Murong Yi gritted his teeth and defended. He completely agreed with Feng Baiyi's words. Looking back at it now, if neither of them used weapons, he would definitely win. Although winning would be a bit ugly, at least it wouldn't be as humiliating as it is now.

"Actually, Yun Che's epee is not that scary. It's just that there are too few people using epee, and you have no experience fighting with epee. Otherwise, how could you be so easily defeated by Yun Che's first sword? The sword smashed into the silver dragon spear and caused internal injuries... And the loss of the silver dragon spear caused you to be in chaos, which also doomed your subsequent defeat. I could see clearly from the side that Yun Che's heavy sword attack was indeed extremely domineering, but it was heavy. The sword is extremely heavy, the attack speed is very slow, and the openings left after each attack are also large. With your physical skills, you can easily dodge, and then seize the openings to quickly counterattack. In this way, Yun Che has no chance of winning. Maybe. But the first time you clashed with his weapons, it was a head-to-head confrontation. How could you not be defeated when you faced the strongest part of the epee!"

"At the same time, the Overlord's giant sword weighs 3,900 kilograms. Even you and I would find it extremely difficult to wield it. Yun Che's three sword attacks are probably at their limit. Therefore, your defeat yesterday has nothing to do with Yun Che actually doesn't matter much, the key is you. I believe that if you listen to me, if we fight him again, there is absolutely no chance that he will win against you. And if it were me..." Feng Baiyi's eyes flashed with coldness. Shen said with a sneer: "At most, if we meet him three times, I can kill him."

Recalling yesterday's battle scene, the more Murong Yi thought about it, the more he felt that what Feng Baiyi said was completely reasonable. He suddenly felt regret and hatred in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "You are right. If it happens again, I will never lose..." However, my whole body is injured and I can’t even get out of bed. Otherwise, I will personally cut him into pieces!”

"Don't worry, I will find this place for you. Within five days at most, I will bring you Yun Che's head and ensure that all your anger and resentment are completely gone." Feng Baiyi smiled. said.

"Really!?" Murong Yi's eyes widened in excitement, and then he frowned and said, "But Yun Che is now invited by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. If he takes action..."

"Don't worry, I will do this flawlessly, and to be sure, I also invited another person."

"Who?" Murong Yi asked immediately.

"Xue Lang." Feng Baiyi narrowed his eyes.

"Xue Lang... Xue Lang, who is seventh on the Tianxuan Ranking in the inner palace?" Murong Yi looked shocked, "Is he really willing to take action?"

Feng Baiyi smiled lightly and nodded: "You also know this person. As long as you give him enough benefits, he is willing to do anything. And for this matter, he wants 800 Zixuan coins. After all, Yun Che's current influence is extraordinary. , killing him will involve certain risks. It depends on whether Brother Murong is willing to pay the money."

"No problem at all!" Murong Yi's face was low: "As long as I can kill him without leaving any trace and relieve the hatred in my heart, I will not hesitate even if it is 8,000 Zixuan coins, let alone 800 Zixuan coins!"

"Okay!" Feng Baiyi stood up and his voice became cold and low: "Brother Murong, just wait for my good news... Hehe, I can't wait to see this person who dares to be arrogant in front of me kneel before me. The scene of feet desperately begging for mercy, hahahaha..."
