He knew that Chu Mu never wanted him to become the crown prince. After all, Chu Mu doted on Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang more since young.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen continued to ask, "Then is Your Highness willing to give up the crown prince's position?"
Could Chu Wuming give up the crown prince's position? Obviously not. Otherwise, Chu Wuming wouldn't have persisted until now. He would have left long before meeting Xiao Chen.
Chu Wuming was a very ambitious person. He had a great yearning for the empire's throne. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to contend with his two elder brothers without anyone's support.
Since he wasn't willing and didn't have Chu Mu's support, Chu Wuming could only use other methods if he wanted to seize power and defeat his two elder brothers.
Chu Wuming stared at Xiao Chen. Facing this question, he didn't answer because there was no need to. He couldn't give up the crown prince's position.
This was the helplessness of being in a royal family. In the face of supreme power, family ties became extremely thin. However, this wasn't a problem that Xiao Chen needed to consider.
Chu Wuming wanted the crown prince's position and power. Xiao Chen also hoped that Chu Wuming could control the Moonless Empire. Therefore, the two of them had the same goal.
Unlike Chu Wuming, Xiao Chen wanted Chu Wuming to control the Moonless Empire for no other reason. It was because Chu Wuming was someone he could trust. With him controlling the Moonless Empire, this place could become a safe place for the Heavenly Chen Continent warriors.
Tens of thousands of Heavenly Chen Continent warriors came to the Heavenly River Continent. Everyone was like rootless duckweed in this unfamiliar place. This Moonless Empire could become a safe haven for many Heavenly Chen Continent warriors in the future. Those injured or weak Heavenly Chen Continent warriors could go to the Moonless Empire to recuperate. In addition to his parents, this was the reason why Xiao Chen had to let Chu Wuming take power.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Wuming suddenly stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen, "Then, I'll leave everything to Brother Xiao."
Chu Wuming's words clearly agreed with Xiao Chen's idea. For the ambition in his heart, Chu Wuming chose to believe in Xiao Chen.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Your Highness is too serious. I only hope that Your Highness can treat my friends and family well in the future."
He had already told Chu Wuming that he would not stay in the Moonless Empire for too long. However, Xiao Chen's friends and family would stay in the Moonless Empire. In this regard, Chu Wuming needed to ensure their safety.
Chu Wuming naturally would not refuse Xiao Chen's request. After all, Xiao Chen had no desire for power. For Chu Wuming, this was the best result.
After reaching an agreement with Chu Wuming, the two of them finally decided that seven days later, Chu Wuming would use his own name to invite the other three legions to Zhenshan City for a banquet. At that time, he would take the opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop.
At the same time, after taking down the three legions, Chu Wuming purposely let out news that Chu Mu would send the Blood Moon Guards. At that time, Xiao Chen would take the opportunity to eliminate the Blood Moon Guards in Hulao Pass. In this way, Chu Wuming could point his sword at the imperial capital and confirm the ownership of the crown prince's position.
After settling the matter, Xiao Chen bid farewell to Chu Wuming and returned to his residence.
Everything had been arranged. In the end, whether Chu Wuming would take the crown prince's position or force Chu Mu to abdicate the throne was not something that Xiao Chen should think about. In any case, this was the imperial family's matter. What Xiao Chen needed was a safe environment that could give the people of the Heavenly Chen Continent a temporary safe haven.
In the next few days, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming began to prepare for the banquet seven days later. Of course, all the errands were naturally left to Xiao Chen to Mu Feng and the others.
Three days passed in a row. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. On the day of the banquet, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming would take down the other three legions.
On this night, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a praying mat in his room to cultivate. A breeze blew past and Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, in front of Xiao Chen, an old man and a young girl in a short green skirt appeared.
These two people were not unfamiliar to Xiao Chen. The young girl in the short green skirt was the little princess of the Heavenly Qi Sect, Gu Lingyao.
He did not expect Gu Lingyao to come so quickly. He had only returned to the Moonless Empire for a few days and she had already found him.
"I didn't think that you would be able to escape from the Heavenly Wolf Empire." Looking at Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao said with a mischievous smile.
"What? You really hope that I won't be able to escape? "Hearing this, Xiao Chen replied. Then, he slowly got up and beckoned the two to sit down.
Xiao Chen did not expect Gu Lingyao's late night visit. At the same time, from Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen also knew that during this period of time, Gu Qi had struck out like lightning and instantly destroyed the strength of the First and Second Elders of the Heavenly Qi Sect, killing them at the same time. The old man following behind Gu Lingyao was indeed the Third Elder of the Heavenly Qi Sect. Xiao Chen had seen him before. His name was Tian Guochuan. However, Tian Guochuan had already become the First Elder of the Heavenly Qi Sect.
The purpose of Gu Lingyao's visit was naturally to bring Xiao Chen to the Heavenly Qi Sect to prepare for the Glory Sect's selection. However, regarding this, Xiao Chen told Gu Lingyao that they still needed some time. After all, the matters of the Moonless Empire had yet to be resolved.
"We still have to wait for some time? The Glory Sect's selection is about to begin. For this reason, Father has already decided to specially open up the Hundred Refinements Valley for us to enter the trial." Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gu Lingyao said with some dissatisfaction.
She knew that Gu Lingyao wanted Xiao Chen to head to the Heavenly Qi Sect as soon as possible to prepare for the Glory Sect's selection. However, Xiao Chen could not do anything about it. If the matters of the Moonless Empire were not resolved, he … No, wait, the matters of the Moonless Empire.
All of a sudden, he thought that with the help of the Heavenly Qi Sect, wouldn't the matters of the Moonless Empire be resolved much more easily? Just think about it. If Chu Wuming could obtain the support of the Heavenly Qi Sect, wouldn't the position of Crown Prince be easily obtained?
At this thought, Xiao Chen's face gradually bloomed into a smile. He looked at Gu Lingyao and smiled. "Actually, it's not that we can't speed things up. However, I need the help of the Heavenly Qi Sect."
Seeing Xiao Chen's smile, how could the mischievous Gu Lingyao not know that Xiao Chen must have some wicked ideas? Or rather, he was going to borrow the power of the Heavenly Qi Sect again.
A look of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes. "You're going to use our Heavenly Qi Sect again? Why do I feel that ever since I met you, our Heavenly Qi Sect has been used as a tool by you?"
Gu Lingyao said in annoyance. Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen said with a helpless look, "I have no choice. My mother is now in the Moonless Empire. If I don't resolve the matters here, how can I prepare for the Glory Sect's selection wholeheartedly?"
