He didn't stop Chu Wushuang from leaving. Although Chu Wuming could easily kill Chu Wushuang, he couldn't. Even if he wanted to kill Chu Wushuang, he couldn't let others know that he was the one who did it. Otherwise, even if Chu Wushuang died, Chu Wuming wouldn't have a good ending. At that time, not to mention his father, even Chu Qingshan probably wouldn't let Chu Wuming off.
Similarly, he knew that it was impossible for Chu Wuming to kill Chu Wushuang under such circumstances, so Xiao Chen didn't say anything. Now that the Burning Sky Ruler had successfully become the Retired Emperor of the Moonless Empire, Xiao Chen's next step was to build a new Heavenly Stellar Residence in the Imperial Capital. Then, he would let the people of Moontrace City move to the Imperial Capital. Here, they would obviously be able to enjoy better cultivation resources.
At the same time, after the new Heavenly Stellar Residence was built in the Imperial Capital, Xiao Chen could use Chu Wuming's power to start searching for other Heavenly Stellar Continent cultivators within the Moonless Empire.
A total of fifty thousand people came to the Heavenly River Continent, and the Moonless Empire was extremely large. It wasn't smaller than a region of the Heavenly Stellar Continent. Xiao Chen didn't believe that only a few dozen people were teleported to the Moonless Empire. There must be other Heavenly Stellar Continent cultivators within the Moonless Empire. Gathering everyone was Xiao Chen's second goal.
He was already planning his next step in his heart. At the same time, after Chu Wushuang left, Chu Wuque, who hadn't said anything all this time, came to Chu Wuming as if nothing had happened. He congratulated Chu Wuming with a smile.
"Third Brother is really impressive. You were actually able to rope in a Dao Emperor Realm expert for the Imperial Family. Looks like the position of Crown Prince will probably belong to Third Brother."
Chu Wuque actually congratulated Chu Wuming. Of course, these words weren't sincere, and Chu Wuming could tell.
Among the three brothers, Chu Wushuang's temper was the most violent, and Chu Wuque was the most ruthless. On the surface, he would talk and laugh with you, but you would never know when such a person would stab you with a knife. As the saying goes, a smiling tiger refers to a person like Chu Wuque. He may have already set up a killing trap while talking and laughing.
It was also because of Chu Wuque's personality that Chu Wuming had always been extremely wary of him. If one were to only talk about ruthlessness, it was likely that none of his brothers could compare to Chu Wuque.
Chu Wuming cupped his hands slightly towards Chu Wuque, and said with a fake smile, "Big Brother, you must be joking. Compared to Big Brother, my little achievement is nothing. It's Big Brother who gave in to us brothers. Otherwise, the position of Crown Prince would have been in Big Brother's hands long ago, and we might not even exist in this world anymore."
Chu Wuming's words hinted at Chu Wuque's ruthlessness, but Chu Wuque acted as if he didn't notice it at all, and continued to smile as he said, "Haha, Third Brother still likes to joke as much as before. Alright, Third Brother, you must be tired from your journey, so Big Brother won't disturb you any longer. Come to my palace to drink some other day. It's been a long time since the two of us drank together. Next time, we must not return until we're drunk."
As he spoke, Chu Wuque strode away. However, when he arrived in front of Xiao Chen, Chu Wuque actually smiled and nodded at Xiao Chen. At the same time, he smiled and spoke.
"This friend also has an imposing appearance. If there's time in the future, this prince will definitely pay you a visit personally, haha."
Even though he knew that Xiao Chen was Chu Wuming's man, Chu Wuque still expressed his intention to rope him in without hiding anything. Hearing his words, Xiao Chen only nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
Chu Wushuang and Chu Wuque left one after another. Chu Wuming also came to Xiao Chen's side and said in a soft voice, "Brother Xiao Chen, you must be careful of Chu Wuque. This person has always been extremely ruthless. If he gets the chance, even if it's me, he won't hesitate to kill me."
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. Since I came to the imperial capital for Your Highness, I naturally won't do anything that betrays you."
"Brother Xiao Chen, what are you saying? I naturally trust Brother Xiao. Alright, let's not talk about this. Brother Xiao Chen, please follow me back to the palace. In the next few days, I'll have someone find a residence in the city for Brother Xiao. I'm afraid that I'll have to trouble Brother Xiao to temporarily stay at my place for a few days."
As a prince, Chu Wuming's residence was naturally within the imperial palace. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen laughed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness. However, if we're looking for a residence, I hope that Your Highness can find a larger residence for me. I want to call my brothers from Moon Trace City to the imperial capital. This way, they can be of more help to Your Highness. Of course, the cost of buying a residence will be borne by Xiao Chen."
"Brother Xiao, what are you saying? There's no need for Brother Xiao to worry. I'll definitely find a large residence for you in the imperial capital." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming said clearly.
Naturally, he couldn't let Xiao Chen spend money. Under Chu Wuming's lead, Xiao Chen and the other two walked towards his residence.
Just as Xiao Chen and the others left Wuhe Palace, in a bamboo garden deep within the imperial palace, the Burning Sky Ruler, Chu Qingshan, and Chu Mu Bai sat across from each other. They drank light tea as they spoke.
"Fellow Burning Sky, I have a question that I don't know if it's appropriate to ask." Looking at the Burning Sky Ruler, Chu Mu Bai said.
"Fellow Mu Bai is too courteous. There's no harm in asking." said the Burning Sky Ruler.
"Then I'll say it. Dare I ask Fellow Burning Sky, if the Moonless Empire is in trouble in the future, would Fellow Burning Sky be willing to help the Moonless Empire repel the enemy?" Asked Chu Mu Bai. This was the question he and Chu Qingshan were most concerned about. If the Burning Sky Ruler didn't intend to help the Moonless Empire, then his usefulness would be greatly reduced.
Knowing Chu Mu Bai's meaning, the Burning Sky Ruler faintly smiled. "Fellow Mu Bai, please don't worry. Since I'm the retired emperor of the Moonless Empire, I naturally have the responsibility to protect the Moonless Empire. If the empire truly is in danger, I'll naturally take action."
While he was the retired emperor of the Moonless Empire, the Burning Sky Ruler would fulfill his responsibility to protect the empire. Hearing this, Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan's expressions eased up a lot. As long as he said this, it was enough. As for anything else, Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan didn't care.
That day, they chatted a lot with Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan, including the matter of the princes fighting for the position of crown prince. Regarding this battle for the position of crown prince, Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan's intentions were clear. The Burning Sky Ruler could choose to support the third prince, but try not to directly interfere. This was because once the matter involved a Dao Emperor Realm almighty, it wouldn't be easy to control.
This was also why Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan, one of whom supported the first prince Chu Wuque, and the other supported the second prince Chu Wushuang, had never directly interfered in the battle for the position of crown prince.
The Burning Sky Ruler naturally didn't refuse Chu Mu Bai and Chu Qingshan's words. A Dao Emperor Realm almighty was indeed unsuitable to directly participate in the battle for the position of crown prince. The existence of a Dao Emperor Realm almighty was actually more of a symbol, a symbol for the various princes to develop their forces.
