After Pu Yun Hua became the Clan Head of the Pu Clan, the First Prince and the grey-robed old man left Pu City.
Although Pu Yun Hua successfully took back the position of Clan Head of the Pu Clan and temporarily united the Pu Clan, Pu Jin Xian was still the new Pu King. In theory, the Pu Palace was still the supreme ruler of Pu City.
Everyone had to listen to his orders.
Pu Jin Bian's group of people were still loyal to Pu Jin Xian.
Although many of the soldiers in Pu City were more willing to support Pu Yun Hua, they were still soldiers and not members of the Pu Clan. Therefore, to them, military orders were as important as a mountain. Who held the military orders?
Needless to say, it was the new Pu King.
If there was a military order, they would still obey it. After all, it was the duty of a soldier to obey military orders.
As for the military orders, they were firmly in Pu Jin Xian's hands.
The important positions in the military were all filled with his most trusted and most loyal people.
Therefore, the situation in Pu City had become somewhat delicate and tense.
The military was still in Pu Jin Xian's hands, but the majority of the Pu Clan had been summoned by Pu Yun Hua.
Therefore, two forces were formed, and there was an invisible confrontation between the two forces.
Moreover, these two forces were like fire and water. Pu Jin Xian obeyed the First Prince's orders, while the Pu Clan led by Pu Yun Hua supported the Ninth Prince.
There was a fundamental conflict of interest between the two forces.
However, for the time being, both sides maintained a tacit understanding and calmness. There was no conflict.
After all, Pu Jin Xian was the new Pu King personally conferred by Emperor Pan. It was difficult to touch him.
For the time being, Pu City's side was in a deadlock. Everyone remained silent because they still had backup plans, and they continued to fight in the dark.
After Qin Xiao said a few words to Pu Yun Hua, he left and prepared to go to the Imperial City.
Qin Xiao wanted to leave the Imperial City, but it was not easy.
Not long after he left Pu City, his path was blocked by two figures. It was the First Prince and the grey-robed old man.
The two of them did not return to the Imperial City. Instead, they waited for Qin Xiao, as if they had expected Qin Xiao's next move.
When Qin Xiao saw the First Prince and the First Prince, he did not feel too surprised. This was something he had expected.
The First Prince obviously had a backup plan and would not give up so easily. It was reasonable for him to block Lin Yun's path.
"First Prince, I've made you wait for a long time. For two Ancient Sages to wait here for me, Qin Xiao, it seems like I have quite a lot of face here, "Qin Xiao said with a smile.
The First Prince smiled and looked at Qin Xiao, saying, "It seems that Young Master Qin Xiao is also a smart person. You expected that I would be waiting for you here, just like how I expected you to make a trip to the Imperial City."
"Yes, it seems like everyone is smart. I prefer to deal with smart people, it is easier to talk to them. "Qin Xiao nodded.
The two of them seemed to have met their match.
The First Prince laughed softly. His gaze was somewhat deep as he looked at Qin Xiao. He said, "What if I suggest that you don't go to the Imperial City and leave the Pan Empire?"
"Since you have some relationship with the Pu Hua Saint, I will treat it as you being entrusted by him to take care of the Pu Clan."
"Since you've already completed your mission, why don't you leave now?"
"You are a student of the Sacred Academy. Why don't you stay at the Sacred Academy to cultivate and open your own ancient path? Instead, you came here to waste your time on trivial matters. It is not worth it, right?"
"I admire your talent and respect you, so I have been waiting here for a long time to give you a good suggestion, Lord Qin Xiao."
"What do you think, Lord Qin Xiao?"
Although he said it with a smile, there was a hint of sharpness in his words. There was also a hint of threat.
Qin Xiao chuckled. "You should know better than anyone about the Pu Hua Saint's will. He does not support you and will not be used by you."
"You should know better than anyone about the Pu Hua Saint's thoughts."
"Since I am here to take care of the Pu Clan on behalf of the Pu Hua Saint, what do you think I will do?"
"Although you are the First Prince of the Pan Kingdom and a Saint, I don't think it is wise for you to threaten me like this."
"As a person, I think it is better to make fewer enemies. After all, you can't guarantee that your enemy will become stronger than you one day, right? "
Qin Xiao naturally did not back down in the face of the First Prince's threat. He also retorted.
The hidden meaning was obvious. You are threatening me today, Qin Xiao. When I, Qin Xiao, become stronger than you in the future, it will be time to settle the score.
His intention was to remind the First Prince that it was best not to provoke him. Otherwise, it would not be too late for revenge.
There would always be a chance.
As a genius student of the Sacred Institute, no one would dare to doubt Qin Xiao's talent and potential and future.
Faced with Qin Xiao's counterattack, the First Prince was not angry. Instead, he laughed. "Haha, Lord Qin Xiao, you are right. As a person, it is indeed better to make fewer enemies. "
"That is why I have been waiting here for you, Lord Qin Xiao. Obviously, I do not want to make an enemy of you. If I want to make an enemy of you, I am afraid that I will make a move first before talking. "
"Not only do I not want to make an enemy of you, but I also want to be friends with you."
Be friends with me?
Qin Xiao laughed in his heart. Wasn't this a case of a weasel paying a visit to a chicken? What kind of good intentions could he have?
He must be plotting something again.
However, Qin Xiao was not in a hurry. Instead, he said, "Oh, then it seems that I have misunderstood the First Prince. I wonder, how does the First Prince want to be friends with me? "
"Could it be that the First Prince has decided to let the Park Clan off this time and help me succeed so that I can return to the Sacred Institute with peace of mind?"
"If that is the case, then I would like to be friends with the First Prince."
The First Prince shook his head and smiled. "That is not the case. I just want to discuss a collaboration with you."
"Pu Hua Saint has been dead for hundreds of millions of years. The struggle for the Crown Prince position has also been going on for hundreds of millions of years."
"According to my father, I am afraid that he will announce the Crown Prince candidate soon. Lord Qin Xiao, based on the current situation, who do you think has a higher chance of becoming the Crown Prince? "
Qin Xiao said calmly. "To be honest, based on the current situation, you naturally have a higher chance."
"However, to be honest, I don't really care who becomes the Crown Prince. I just need to ensure the safety of the Park Clan."
"As for those struggles, they are your Pan Kingdom's affairs. What does it have to do with me?"
"Since Lord Qin Xiao understands this, why do you insist on chasing the new King of Park off the throne and making Park Palace support the Ninth Prince?" The First Prince continued.
"Even if we take 10,000 steps back and say that we do not have Park Palace's support now, I am afraid that the outcome will not change."
"I am a person who cherishes talents. Although Park Jinxian is only a fourth-step Heavenly Venerable and has not become a Sage, he is very capable in all aspects."
"Therefore, I intend to use him well. That is why I want him to become the new King of Park. I want him to lead Park Palace and work hard to eliminate the impact of Park Hua Saint's sacrifice on the Park Clan."
"I have always been thinking for the sake of the Park Clan. I have always wanted to support the Park Clan."
"Lord Qin Xiao, this is no different from you wanting the stability of the Park Clan. Why do you insist on letting Park Yun Hua take charge of Park Palace and oppose me to support the Ninth Prince?"
Hearing the First Prince's words, Qin Xiao laughed mockingly.
"Since the First Prince has said so, it does not matter whether the Park Clan supports you or the Ninth Prince. It will not affect the final outcome. Since that is the case, why is the First Prince so obsessed with these things? "
"Who the Park Clan supports is the matter of the Park Clan. It is not something that I, Qin Xiao, will deliberately interfere with. It is Park Hua Saint's own will."
"It is just that the people of the Park Clan have to follow Park Hua Saint's will."
"It's only a temporary support. When your First Prince ascends to the position of Crown Prince, Park Manor will naturally be loyal to your First Prince and be of use to your First Prince."
"That way, it will be legitimate and reasonable. Everyone will be willing to do it. So, why not?"
"Why does the First Prince care about these temporary gains and losses? Why must you come and cause chaos in the Park Clan?"
"Just now, I said that the First Prince is a smart person. It seems that smart people also have times when they are confused. I do not like the way the First Prince is speaking now. "
The First Prince's expression darkened. His eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Good, very good. Then I will be direct. Let's talk about cooperation. I can promise you that as long as you do not continue to participate in this matter and do not help Park Yun Hua become the new King of Park, I can guarantee that after I ascend to the position of Crown Prince, I will protect the Park Palace.
I will protect Park Palace's eternal peace. "
"If you do not believe me, I can swear on my soul. This is my sincerity to you."
"I have already said that I want to be friends with you, Qin Xiao. I do not want to be enemies with you."
"Don't you just want the peace of the Park Clan? I can promise you peace for eternity. Is that enough? "
Hearing the First Prince's words, Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, but still shook his head.
"Peace for eternity comes with a price. I have already promised Yun Hua Saint and the others. Naturally, I cannot treat this lightly. "
"I will say the same thing again. The fate of the Park Clan should be in the hands of its own people, and not for the First Prince to forcefully interfere."
"If the First Prince really does not want to be enemies with me, then let me give you a piece of advice. Do not repeat the mistakes of the past and stop me from doing things."
"I have said that I have no interest in your fight for the position of Crown Prince. I also do not have the ability to interfere."
"What I need is nothing more than what I've promised the Park Clan."
The First Prince's face darkened completely. It was extremely cold. He stared at Qin Xiao with a sharp glint in his eyes.
This sharp glint seemed to be able to pierce through a person.
"That is to say, you insist on being enemies with me, going against me, and standing on the opposite side of me?" The First Prince's voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.
Qin Xiao did not show any signs of weakness. He looked at the First Prince calmly. Their eyes met, and there was no sign of backing down.
The First Prince was showing off his abilities. Qin Xiao was also calm and composed. He replied, "I do not insist on being enemies with you. I am just doing what I have promised."
"Whether or not you want to be enemies with me, Qin Xiao, is entirely up to you, the First Prince."
"If you want to be enemies with me, then we will be enemies, and opponents. If you do not want to be enemies with me, then even if we cannot be friends, we can still have a good chat. "
