Chapter Three Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Three: This Is

upper hand, and within just a few years, their net worth tripled. This completely widened the gap between them and Li Bingyan's family.Since then, whenever the two families met in public, Xiao Chang'a..."Old minister... Guilty." Yuan Taishi bowed, saying.

Seeing Yuanshi's actions, Prince Xianliu broke into a satisfied smile and said, "Well, Master Yuanshi, let's be frank with each other now."

"I can tell you, Fang Yu's identity, and his actions... I can't tolerate them."

"The dazzling demon king is my capable subordinate. If I don't help him regain his face, the loyalty and trust of my other subordinates will be greatly diminished."

Therefore, I had to take matters into my own hands.

Yuantei looked up, wanting to say something.

"Grand Tutor, don't you think... something is amiss about this" Prince Xianliu narrowed his eyes and suddenly added.

"Your humble servant is unclear about Your Lordship's meaning..." the grand tutor Yuan stated.

"I'm referring to the fact that Father appointed a foreign cultivator as his envoy. There's something fishy about it," Xianliu, the prince, stood up and walked down the steps slowly, saying, "With Father's wisdom, he couldn't have failed to anticipate the consequences of such an action, and the impact it could have on the royal family."

Yuan Taishi's eyes flickered.

He had also considered the ancient demon emperor's thoughts.

However, judging from the ancient demon emperor's attitude at the time, he did seem to have an inexplicable trust in that Fang Yu.

They've just met for the first time!

"Father knows the consequences of doing this, yet he still went ahead. And this Fang Yu is truly bold, to investigate external forces and directly implicate Nanyuan." The Xianliu prince sneered, "Of course, Nanyuan does have suspicions. As a member of a secondary bloodline, she shouldn't possess such powerful cultivation talent."

"But that's beside the point. What I want to know is... where did this Fang Yu get his courage from Even with power, does he really dare to do this Doesn't he realize this would anger the entire royal family Isn't this digging his own grave"

"I believe he knew, but he had to do it…because, that was the Emperor’s order!"

The Xianliu prince walked down the steps and slowly came before Master Yuan.

"What is quite obvious is... given the Emperor's emphasis on blood purity, how could he possibly allow a foreign cultivator to wield such power This is highly irregular and the most glaring flaw."

"So, I think this matter… is actually a test set up by our father for us," the Xianliu prince said. "He wants to see how we members of the royal family would act in this situation."

"Allow Fang Yu to run rampant with the power bestowed upon him Or take decisive action and uphold the dignity and order of the imperial family"

These two choices actually represent two different attitudes... The former is unwavering loyalty to the Emperor, following every decision made by the Emperor, even if it is a clearly wrong decision.

The latter, however, stands from the standpoint of the ancient demon clan and does only what is right and beneficial to the ancient demon clan.

"Two choices, representing two attitudes. This is a test set by our father for the entire royal family. He wants to see... what kind of choice we will make."

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Tai Shi's heart trembled greatly.

From this angle, he had never considered it!

After all, he is not a member of the royal family, so he is naturally not sensitive to this kind of issue.

Now that he heard the Immortal Flow Prince say it this way, he found it very reasonable!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the ancient Demon Emperor bestowed such great power upon a foreign cultivator!

It's very likely this is a test!

It's just...

"Your Highness, do you think His Majesty prefers the former... or the latter" Yuan Taishi raised his head and looked at Xianliu Prince in front of him.

The former is always loyal, while the latter stands on the side of the ancient monster clan and only does what is right.

In other words, the former is loyal to the Demon Emperor, while the latter is loyal to their own bloodline and the ancient Demon Clan itself!

What kind of would the Ancient Demon Emperor prefer >

"In my opinion, Father might prefer the former. After all, who wouldn't want descendants and subordinates who are unconditionally loyal" Xianliu, the prince, said calmly. "But if he truly had to choose a successor, he would definitely lean towards the latter!"

Only the Demon Emperor loyal to the ancient demon clan can ensure that the glory of the ancient demon clan will last forever.

Therefore, I choose to be the latter, and moreover, I was inclined towards it from the beginning. To become a demon emperor, one must at least possess their own judgment, rather than blind loyalty.

Speaking of which, the Xianliu prince stopped and walked back to his high seat.

Yuan Taishi remained silent, his eyes fixed on the retreating figure.

“Not many people have seen through this matter, so I will take the lead and seize the opportunity.” The Xianliu prince returned to his seat and said, “Fang Yu… is mine. Other princes and princesses, none of you should try to take him before me.”

"Your Highness... then what do you intend to do" Yuan Taishi asked.

"We must first use some means to take the Yao Huang Ling from him. This is very important, it represents my respect for my father." Prince Xianliu said calmly.k to her senses, wiping the sweat from her forehead.At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was speaking to Fang Yu directly with his mouth, without using divine sense or spiritual energy to tran...
