Yan Tong stilled when Yi Tian suddenly changed the topic. Then he sighed and said, "Brother Yi, then which side do you think I am on?"
After kicking the question back, Yan Tong still had a stubborn look on his face. It seemed like he was not going to tell the truth. Concubine Yan had once mentioned that he was on the fourth prince's mother's side. But at this level of cultivation, who would be willing to be controlled by someone else?
With Yan Tong's cultivation, his potential was about the same as Yang Momo's. In terms of lifespan, he was much younger. If Yan Tong was simply on the fourth prince's side, then it could only be said that Yan Tong's eyes were too shallow.
Yi Tian smiled and said, "Fellow Yan Tong, with your eyes, who do you think has the best chance of becoming the crown prince among the imperial family of the Inferno Prison Devil Clan?"
"Everyone has a chance," Yan Tong replied coolly.
Yi Tian knew that he was holding something back. It was obvious that he was just brushing him off. But this question was a roundabout way of probing his position. Yan Tong had not expected him to avoid the important points and dwell on the trivial ones.
Yan Tong knew he should give him some information. Otherwise, if this continued, it would become an argument. This time, he was planning to take the Ice Essence Flame. He was bound to encounter the imperial family. At that time, Yan Tong's position was crucial. Otherwise, he would be in a very unfavorable and awkward situation.
Thinking for a moment, he said, "I fear you are not speaking from your heart. With your status and position in the imperial family of the Inferno Prison Devil Clan, you can come into contact with many high-level people and situations. Presumably, you already have a judgment. Also, I presume that you came to supervise this battle under the banner of the fourth prince, but in reality, you want to make a bet on both sides. "
After he finished speaking, Yi Tian raised his head to look at Yan Tong. Yan Tong's expression did not change. Only a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes. Then, he returned to normal as if he had not heard what Yan Tong had said.
Yi Tian smiled and continued, "To be honest, I envy Fellow Yan Tong for having this opportunity. But it will not be easy for you to gain Concubine Yan's trust. Also, you are waiting. Waiting for her performance. If she can enter the eyes of the Demon Emperor, then it will be the best choice. "
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yi has been betting from the very beginning? I thought that a cultivator like you would have some shrewdness, but I didn't expect you to be so shallow. "Yan Tong didn't evade this time and directly spoke his thoughts.
Since he knew his thoughts, Yi Tian naturally knew that there was still room for discussion. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "That's true. On this level, I'm not as shrewd as you. However, you should know that you're a fence-sitter. No matter who wins in the future, you won't be able to enter the core circle. "
"That is natural. Placing bets on both sides will certainly result in double pressure. Sometimes, it will be very difficult to make a choice," Yan Tong replied. "And looking at the current situation, I am still optimistic about the Fourth Prince's side."
"Does Fellow Yan know about the Flame Demon Token?" Yi Tian probed. At the same time, he took out Yan Long's token and placed it in front of him.
Yan Tong naturally knew about this. His gaze swept over it and he said disdainfully, "What does the token of the Flame Prison's Young Lord Yan Long mean in your hands? This item is now a hot potato. Are you not afraid that I will leak the information to the other princes and princesses? Or directly tell the Demon Emperor. He will have some thoughts about this. "
"I don't care about the other princes and princesses at all. As for the Demon Emperor, he won't have any interest in the token in my hands. He has a genuine one, so why would he be interested in my fake?" Yi Tian said inappropriately.
The amount of information in these words was too much. Yan Tong's expression froze and he began to ponder. His expression also became more and more serious.
From his expression, Yi Tian knew that Concubine Yan must have concealed the information about the genuine Flame Demon Token and secretly handed it to the Demon Emperor.
If it was as he thought, then it was a good thing. He looked at Yan Tong in front of him. He seemed to be completely unaware of this matter. He had already said so much. Perhaps with his shrewdness, he would connect the dots.
Yi Tian did not say much. He sat cross-legged and waited quietly. After he digested all the information, there would be more.
Sure enough, after a while, Yan Tong sighed. Then, he looked at Yi Tian and sized him up. A moment later, he asked, "How many people know about this information?"
"If my guess is correct, including you, there are no more than ten people, or even less." Yi Tian said meaningfully, "I think this can show my sincerity."
"Of course." Yan Tong laughed involuntarily. "Brother Yi is straightforward. I admire you. Now, I seem to be able to guess the Demon Emperor's intentions. I also seem to be able to understand the Third Princess' true intentions in coming to the Demon Spine Mountain. "
"I wonder how Dao Friend Yan is going to choose?" Yi Tian probed.
"Is there a need to ask?" Yan Tong smiled. "Naturally, it is the best choice. Since the Demon Emperor took back the Flame Demon Token from the Third Princess but did not make it public again, I think he is protective of his children. Now the time is not ripe. We only need to wait for the princes and princesses to prove their ability. Then, we can establish the position of Crown Prince. "
"Fellow Yan's words coincide with mine. It is just that there are too many people competing. Now, I am afraid the Demon Emperor himself has a headache." Yi Tian said.
"Headache, perhaps." Yan Tong's eyes showed a hint of a smile. "I'm afraid that the Mo Emperor's greatest headache right now is how to give the great merit to the Third Princess so that she can accumulate prestige in court and pave the way for the future."
It seemed that the other party was not stupid. From the information he gave and the information he learned from the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor, he could quickly make such an accurate analysis. He was indeed a person. No wonder the Demon Emperor entrusted him with such an important task and sent him to assist Yan Fei as the Military Governor. However, at this time, he must have made a choice in his heart.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian put away the fake Flame Demon Token in front of him and said, "I can give you a bottle of Returning Sun Water and also recommend you to the Third Princess."
Yi Tian purposely emphasized the second half of his sentence. It could be considered as making his intentions clear. Presumably, Yan Tong had already understood what he meant. Then, he reached out and took out a bottle of Returning Sun Water from his storage ring. He placed it in the middle and gently pushed it over.
Unexpectedly, Yan Tong did not even think about it and directly reached out to take the Returning Sun Water. He smiled and said, "Brother Yi is indeed a clever person. The Third Princess can have your assistance naturally means that she already has a seventy percent chance of winning. She can look down on the other princes and princesses. A wise man submits to circumstances. I have the ability to recognize people. Regarding this matter, please put in a few good words in front of the Third Princess. I am very grateful. "
Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "Of course. I wish us a happy cooperation."
