256: Chapter 251: What Do I Seek 256: Chapter 251: What Do I Seek No wonder Ying Wu’s speculation was that the Crown Prince was murdered by Xia Longyuan himself…
Only if he did it himself would it explain why Tang Wanju kept silent, why the world was quiet, and why the Wang Family wanted to revolt.
Otherwise, such a grave political incident should have been t with a bloodbath, and even if they had to give an explanation, heads would have rolled, but there has never been any turmoil reported about this matter.
Either Xia Longyuan had his own reasons for keeping Tang Wanju from investigating, or he simply did it himself.
But he only said he “wanted to kill,” not that he really intended to, and he didn’t explain why he harbored the thought so early on but only acted last year…
In the end, Zhao Changhe was so annoyed he stopped discussing the Crown Prince and continued on to the topic of Xia Chichi and Zhao Changhe without straying off-topic:
“Let’s not talk about the Crown Prince anymore.
My change of heart didn’t occur at that ti.
When I left, I didn’t leave anyone by her side, thinking the Luo Family, being my loyal supporters, watching over her would be enough.
Unexpectedly, everything went wrong, who would have thought that scoundrel would dare pull such a tricky move, sending word that she had given birth to a prince, his line of thinking so bizarre that I never considered it might be a lie.”
Zhao Changhe really wanted to send an emoji of himself laughing and crying with his hand covering his forehead.
Your choice of words is getting more and more modern.
Is it because my arrival has got you quite excited?
In short, everyone was racking their brains, but the answer to so things is actually very simple, because Xia Longyuan is also human, and all humans make mistakes…
Speaking of which, he could truly understand Xia Longyuan’s mishap this ti.
Who would have thought the Manor Master of Luo Family Manor would dare to play such a ga; it was just outrageous.
Xia Longyuan also found it a bit ridiculous, “Well then, since it’s a boy, I really won’t accept him.
I left the Jade Pendant, so let’s just leave it at that.
As for any masters from the Inner Guard, I never sent any, it was the Luo Family who recruited them and made those claims publicly.”
He sighed again, “She was truly strong, yet she let herself descend into madness from my absence and eventually died from illness…
Sothing else I didn’t anticipate beforehand.”
Zhao Changhe said, “It’s because she truly had feelings for you, although she might have had other motives at the beginning…”
“Mm,” Xia Longyuan didn’t comnt, just continued: “When she died of illness, I had the Inner Guard look into it, and it was then that I knew she actually had given birth to a daughter.
Just as I said earlier, at that point, my thinking had changed and I no longer planned to accept her.
As for the rumors about the prince, I didn’t refute them and even ambiguously pushed them along a bit.
The Luo Family wanted the status of a prince, so I gave it to them, hoping they could withstand it.”
Zhao Changhe shook his head, it was all a misunderstanding.
If he had not been fooled by the false information from the Luo Family, he probably would have accepted her earlier, and there would not have been a big senior brother like Luo Qi.
The extermination of the Luo Family Manor was truly brought on by their own doing.
Even if the Vermilion Bird didn’t annihilate them, I’m afraid Chichi herself would have done so once she learned the truth.
I wonder if part of the Vermilion Bird’s massacre was because he found out the truth after entering the palace and was seeking revenge for his sister?
Xia Longyuan letting the rumors about the prince spread was full of malice, as if he were watching a jest; without his ambiguous attitude, others wouldn’t have been so certain about the presence of a prince in Luo Family Manor.
After talking for so long, Xia Longyuan was reluctant to delve deeply into the Crown Prince’s death, but instead revealed the family matters of the past in great detail.
Rather than chatting with Zhao Changhe to clear up confusion, it was more like Xia Longyuan was using Zhao Changhe to converse with his daughter…
Does this prove he actually has so fatherly affection?
Not wanting his daughter to always hate him?
It’s like saying cheerfully that a father-in-law is still a father, which doesn’t seem like the behavior of soone heartless and cruel.
The matter of the Crown Prince’s death probably has another inside story…
But it seems Xia Longyuan won’t tell.
Essentially, Xia Longyuan was not there to answer Zhao Changhe’s questions, but for his daughter.
If saying “I treated you especially well” and “Letting you enter the capital so you wouldn’t harbor regrets” contains so truth, maybe it’s because he considers him a fellow countryman.
But countryman greeting countryman isn’t necessarily a tearful sight, his attitude is uncertain…
so much so that Zhao Changhe doesn’t dare to discuss this matter directly with him.
The two fell silent again for a while, then Xia Longyuan suddenly said, “What was your purpose in having the blind man accompany you to Chichi’s side?”
Zhao Changhe sighed: “I don’t know, it seems like I drew the short straw.”
Xia Longyuan was stunned for a mont, then for the first ti, he looked at Zhao Changhe in surprise.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Changhe asked, “Does the senior know the aning behind this?”
Senior…
Xia Longyuan savored the word and suddenly smiled slightly, withdrawing his gaze: “Heavenly Dao is dead, the world is crumbling, the great path no longer gathers, and the fortune belongs to no one.
Countless pairs of eyes that once watched are hiding in the gutter, observing this Battle Arena, this Gu vessel, each with their own sches.”
Zhao Changhe said, “We are all Gu thrown into it.
Selected for different fortunes, different traits, cast in to grow, until a certain point…
Is it harvest ti?
Does it signify a kind of Heavenly Dao or a human Dao fortune?”
Xia Longyuan asked, “Why do you guess that?”
“Because from your appearance, it seems like you are resisting but are at a disadvantage and unable to focus on everything.”
Xia Longyuan laughed out loud: “Before you thought I was evil, but now you’ve co to think of as good.”
Zhao Changhe said, “Please enlighten , senior.”
“What resistance or not.” Xia Longyuan’s smile faded, his eyes becoming calm and indifferent: “I’m actively looking for trouble for them.”
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Xia Longyuan asked, “What is your pursuit?”
“Going ho.”
“…”
Xia Longyuan suddenly faltered.
Zhao Changhe really wanted to give him a “If you just slack off, you’re invincible” kind of expression.
How uncomfortable it was not to be able to use emoticons when communicating with folks from ho.
Then Xia Longyuan laughed again, “Not bad, a fine pursuit.”
Zhao Changhe asked, “What about you, senior?”
Xia Longyuan was very amiable, as if truly having a conversation with a junior from ho, “Once my pursuit was the martial peak, and when my martial arts reached a certain level, naturally I started thinking about sweeping the Six Harmonies, uniting the world under one rule, and establishing a vast empire.
As ntioned earlier, I was also considering the stability of an empire.”
Zhao Changhe said, “A man should aspire to such things; these pursuits are quite normal.”
“But as everyone knows, that is not the end, the divine abilities of gods and Buddhas from the last epoch is the real goal.
To put it crudely, it’s eternal life; to put it nicely, it’s the true aning of power.
When you’ve done everything that should be done in the world, don’t you feel like ‘sothing’s missing’?”
Zhao Changhe pondered for a mont and shook his head, “So might feel sothing’s missing, others might be content.
But a hero like you, senior, is bound to feel it’s not enough.”
“Of course it’s not enough, I even find what I have now tasteless.
It’s just a reality show in the eyes of others, what’s the interest in that?”
Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly; he had felt the sa way before, feeling like a reality show for the blind, which was particularly annoying.
Xia Longyuan said, “Since it’s tasteless, then we don’t need it.”
Zhao Changhe subconsciously stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.
Not needed… what didn’t he need?
The vast empire he had fought so hard to establish, the supre prestige of the emperor, the whole world following his lead.
He didn’t want it anymore.
It wasn’t a rebellion against sothing; it was his own choice not to want it.
“They are scheming sothing, it doesn’t matter.
Maybe they all want to beco the Heavenly Dao…” Xia Longyuan pointed to the sky, “A bunch of withered bones in the tomb…
What you can do, can’t I?”
“Boom!”
Amidst the gentle breeze and drizzle, thunder suddenly roared.
The sunlight hid away, the sun and the moon lost their shine.
A bolt of lightning struck down suddenly, and Xia Longyuan threw his fist to et the lightning, “See if ‘My Fist’ can split the heavens!”
With a loud “bang,” terrifying power swept through.
Zhao Changhe raised his hand to shield his face and was forced back several steps.
Peering through the gaps between his arms, he saw Xia Longyuan sway slightly.
Huangfu Qing had said that he must be in a covert battle with so people; it was indeed true…
Why would he care about “little ants”?
But although he swayed, the sky cleared up.
The lightning dissipated, and the sunlight reappeared.
That “cringe-worthy” na of his kung fu style, so that’s where it ca from…
But at this mont, Zhao Changhe didn’t find it cringe-worthy at all.
Even the Dragon Sparrow, trembling excitedly on his back right now, didn’t find it cringe-worthy either.
When such a punch could truly shatter the lightning and disperse the clouds, that could only be called the divine might of the emperor, and heaven and earth would yield.
This was the first ti Zhao Changhe had witnessed such a straightforward defiance of the weather within this world.
To reach the level of Xia Longyuan, one could really achieve such a feat; are they even the sa dinsion of beings?
Truly capable of confronting the gods and Buddhas, he was without a doubt—the greatest under heaven!
