C13 Discussion

"Oh, forgive me, Your Highness." Hua Shang smiled apologetically but did not get off Jian Bai.

"Speak, what else is there?" Xiao Yun drank some water and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

"Are you sure it is appropriate to talk here?" Hua Shang rolled his eyes in his heart. This First Prince really had a big heart. He wasn't worried that there would be ears on the other side of the wall. If one day the Emperor found out about this, it would be a crime of murder.

"Heh, Tower Lord, you have underestimated me. It's very appropriate to talk here. You don't have to worry about ears on the other side of the wall." Xiao Yun continued to leisurely drink the water in the cup. He did not care about Hua Shang's suspicion at all.

"Oh? The First Prince is so confident?" Hua Shang sat up from Jian Bai, his eyes filled with distrust. How could he not worry about hearing from the other side of the wall in this vast Imperial Palace?

"Pa, Pa, Pa." Xiao Yun stretched out his hand and patted three times. In an instant, a group of black-clothed people rushed out from all directions and neatly lined up in front of Xiao Yun.

"Mistress." The leader's voice was very cold. This was what they should do. As a hidden guard, emotions were like poison that could not be touched.

"This is my secret guard that has spread throughout the entire Imperial Residence. Do you believe me now?" Xiao Yun waved his hand after he finished speaking, and the secret guard concealed itself everywhere.

Hua Shang glanced at Jian Bai. In his eyes, he also saw the same emotion: shock.

"How dare you raise so many hidden guards in the Imperial Palace? First Prince, you sure have a lot of guts." Jian Bai restrained his emotions, but at the same time, he was also shocked. This First Prince didn't seem to be as simple as he appeared to be. He was afraid that the First Prince had finally begun to trust him.

"Young Master Jian is overthinking things. Raising them in the Imperial Palace is just a small matter to me. You still don't understand me." Xiao Yun smiled. He didn't say anything more, he just wanted to experience it for himself.

This time, Jian Bai really believed him. This First Prince didn't put him and Xinlou in his eyes at all. With his current strength, he was more than capable of seizing the throne. With his and Hua Shang's martial arts, there were so many hidden guards in the surroundings, but they didn't discover anything. This was enough to prove that these hidden guards must be very powerful.

As if he had seen through Jian Bai's inner thoughts, Xiao Yun casually said, "Young Master Jian, don't worry. These hidden guards are my last trump card. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't touch them. Therefore, the help of Young Master Jian and the Tower Lord will be of great help to me."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to thank the First Prince for his appreciation." Jian Bai had a smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart. This mission was no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Sure enough, the reward for such a rich Main Storyline Mission must not be simple.

Xiao Yun looked at Jian Bai and did not say anything. Jian Bai immediately reacted, "First Prince, tell us about the situation in the Imperial Court. This way, we can have a countermeasure."

"In the court? The debate regarding the position of the heir apparent was slowly becoming more and more intense. You know who supports me and those who support the other princes, so there's no need for me to say anything else. "Right now, the Second Prince has the most support." Xiao Yun said with a sarcastic smile," The Emperor is also starting to waver. "

Jian Bai looked at Xiao Yun's expression and could not bear to see it. What was the difference between living without any help in the Imperial Palace and waiting for death? The help of the First Prince on the blueprint that he had obtained earlier was only a third of the Second Prince's.

"Then, we can start our business openly. We will provide you with all our help." Jian Bai thought for a while. The timing was perfect.

"Yes, yes. I will handle it in the Imperial Court. You all can do as you see fit." Xiao Yun rubbed the space between his brows. He was really tired of living. But now, it was either you die or I die.

"I have something that I don't know if I should tell you." Hua Shang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke. He lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

"Speak." Xiao Yun was also very curious about what kind of brilliant plan this legendary Tower Master had. These two people were undoubtedly an indispensable help for him to ascend to the throne.

"Since the First Prince already has so many hidden guards, why didn't he start training his own army?" Hua Shang's words were very bold. Even Jian Bai was startled.

The First Prince raised his brows when he heard this. He looked at Hua Shang's solemn expression and smiled indifferently. His words were indeed shocking. "How did you know that I didn't?"

Hua Shang glanced at Jian Bai. The shock in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Aren't you afraid that the First Prince will fall into your hands one day?" Jian Bai could no longer hold himself back. He couldn't understand why such a talented First Prince would be described by the world as such, and even cause the Second Prince to be in the limelight.

"As an Emperor, one must first learn how to hide, and then kill with a single strike." The words were simple, but the reasoning behind it was very thought-provoking.

"Do you know about flood dragons?" Xiao Yun asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the conversation this time.

"Flood Dragon?" Hua Shang asked tentatively. He had read about it in books when he was bored. He thought it was interesting, so he left some impression. Jian Bai, on the other hand, looked confused.

"Yes." Xiao Yunqi raised the cup in his hand, "The Flood Dragon is like a hibernating dragon. It hides itself. When the time is right, it will transform into a dragon and look down upon the world." His sonorous and powerful words added a murderous aura to Xiao Yun.

"Alright, then we'll wait for the day the Flood Dragon comes into being." Hua Shang smiled, "Using water as wine, I propose a toast to the First Prince. It turns out that in the future, the Flood Dragon will go out to sea and look down on all living beings!"

Xiao Yun glanced at Jian Bai, who was still in a daze, and revealed a different expression. He raised the cup in his hand and touched Hua Shang's cup.

On the way back, Jian Bai had been thinking about a question. "Why do you think he needs my help when he is already so powerful?"

"Ask Qin Kin. I don't know." Hua Shang said while running. This time, he had encountered a powerful figure. When the dark guards appeared, he almost thought that he wouldn't be able to come back.

After returning to his residence, Jian Bai impatiently called out to Qin Kin, "Did you hear that? Speak! Why? "

"I don't know about the system mission either." Qin Kin answered expressionlessly. Jian Bai carefully observed Qin Kin's facial expression and found that he had been expressionless all this time. ...

"Really?" Jian Bai didn't believe it. Hua Shang, who was sitting beside him, also shook his head to show that he didn't believe it. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, it was just that there was no credibility to his words.

"It's true. The main storyline and side missions in every world have been set. I have been in this world for an unknown period of time. Day after day, year after year, the quests never change. "It's just that some hidden missions and special missions require you to trigger them, Master." Qin Kin looked at Jian Bai. He continued, "You just need to meet the right person at the right time and place."

Before Jian Bai could ask anything, he was stopped by Qin Kin. He couldn't swallow his breath and couldn't spit it out. Jian Bai took a deep breath. Since when did the system see through his master's thoughts? It was too scary.

"It's not that I saw through it, it's that your question is written on your face." Qin Kin continued to have a poker face.

Jian Bai looked at Hua Shang in disbelief. Hua Shang nodded with a serious expression. Jian Bai felt that there was no love in this world anymore. They were all bullying him.

"Master, a new mission." Qin Kin suddenly said.

"What mission?" Jian Bai thought he could trigger the mission even though he was sitting here.

"Because..."

"Stop! I know that my question is written on my face. Show me the mission." Jian Bai interrupted Qin Kin at the right time.

Hua Shang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help laughing out loud. This was too funny.

Qin Kin silently opened the panel. On it was a side mission.

Mission: Search for the missing Imperial Jade Seal.

Difficulty:

Mission reward Mission Reward: Experience x200, Great Recovery Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, Hibiscus Pill, Hibiscus Frost.

Gentle Reminder: The host can activate the mission tracking mode. The system will remind the host of the mission progress at the right time. This mission needs to be completed alone and cannot be used by external forces. Otherwise, the reward will be removed and the corresponding experience points will be deducted.

The character panel was opened, and the host was willing to have fun.

"When did the difficulty level increase?" Jian Bai did not understand.
