"Your Highness, I only need one answer from you. This Fei Anmin, are you going to deal with him or not?" Ling Dong stared at Seventh Prince Bi Ying with a hawk-like gaze.
Ling Dong's gaze, which was filled with killing intent, caused Seventh Prince Bi Ying's heart to palpitate wildly. He even took a step back in fear, not daring to vent the anger that had risen in his heart!
"Young Master Ling, Fei Anmin is an important official of the country! You'd better listen to this Prince's advice and shake hands with him. This way, the Ling Family will benefit from it as well! Young Master Ling, no matter how strong your cultivation is, you can't always stay in the Ling family in Nanshan County, right? " Seventh Prince Bi Ying, who was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, blurted out all the thoughts in his heart without any restraint!
"Are you threatening me on behalf of Fei Anmin, Your Highness?" Ling Dong's sharp gaze swept across the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying. He picked up the cup of wine in front of him and gulped it down. Then, he tossed aside the expensive jade cup in his hand and walked out with large strides!
"Bang!"
"Your Highness, I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future!" Ling Dong had already left the luxurious room with Liu Yaoguang.
"I didn't mean that …" Seventh Prince Bi Ying felt that he had misspoken. Just as he was about to explain to Ling Dong and persuade him, Ling Dong had already slammed the door and left. In an instant, Seventh Prince Bi Ying was so angry that his face turned green!
Especially in the last exchange just now, the Seventh Prince had a feeling of anger, as if the situation was under Ling Dong's control and he was at a disadvantage. Coupled with the fear of Ling Dong's gaze, Seventh Prince Bi Ying's mood was extremely bad.
Just as Ling Dong stepped out of the courtyard, a series of explosive sounds came from behind him. With Ling Dong's hearing, how could he not hear that it was the furious Seventh Prince smashing wine jars and cups to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart!
Seventh Prince Bi Ying was angry because of Ling Dong's arrogance and because Ling Dong had embarrassed him. From Seventh Prince Bi Ying's point of view, Ling Dong's value was mainly reflected in his strength and his role as a bridge between Seventh Prince Bi Ying and Alkaid City's Kui Xing Pavilion's Pavilion Master Zi Yao.
Now that the bridge had been built and the thread had been pulled, Ling Dong was naturally of little use. Although Seventh Prince Bi Ying was clear about the relationship between Ling Dong, Master Yuan, and Zi Yao, he was confident.
However, the Seventh Prince was confident that since Mansion Master Yuan and Zi Yao had already boarded his ship, it was impossible for them to fall out with him because of Ling Dong. Although there was some unhappiness, it was limited.
Moreover, even if Ling Dong was the Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion or a Great Prefecture Master, the Seventh Prince would never mess with Fei Anmin, the Vice Minister of the Grand Council, for Ling Dong's sake, let alone the fact that Ling Dong only had a good relationship with Mansion Master Yuan and Zi Yao.
In the process of inheriting the throne, the support of the military was extremely important. Moreover, Fei Anmin was backed by one of the five families of Kui Xing Pavilion, the Fei Family, or even the entire Kui Xing Pavilion. Seventh Prince Bi Yingcai didn't believe that Kui Xing Pavilion would fall out with him just because of an outsider like Ling Dong!
While Seventh Prince Bi Ying was considering the pros and cons, Ling Dong had left King Ying's Mansion in anger. In fact, Ling Dong had already expected the outcome of his visit to Seventh Prince Bi Ying's Mansion.
Ling Dong purposely made a trip here to confirm Seventh Prince Bi Ying's attitude and to give himself a reason to do something big.
"Husband, don't be angry. If Fei Anmin dares to make any moves, let me make the necessary arrangements. I don't have much, but I still have three or four assassins that I have raised since I was young. " After leaving King Ying's Mansion, Liu Yaoguang, who had witnessed everything, suddenly spoke up and took the initiative to solve Ling Dong's problem.
As the cold wind blew, Ling Dong's anger from being kicked away disappeared without a trace. Ling Dong had already expected this situation. Since ancient times, most of the Imperial Family's disciples, especially those who were fighting for the throne, would be kicked away when they were no longer useful.
"Yaoguang, don't worry. I have my own arrangements." Ling Dong rejected Liu Yaoguang's suggestion. It wasn't that Liu Yaoguang's suggestion was bad, but it was impossible to succeed.
The Fei Family, one of the Five Families of Kuixing Pavilion, was famous for their assassin Fei Ci. Sending assassins would be a waste of lives. However, after hearing Liu Yaoguang's words, Ling Dong's heart skipped a beat. Liu Yaoguang actually had assassins. These assassins weren't ordinary people. What was Liu Yaoguang's background?
Hearing this, Liu Yaoguang said gloomily, "That's true. With the Fei Family's Fei Ci, my assassins' chances of success are close to zero. What should we do? Husband, there's no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If we leave them be, the family will be in too much danger.
In two or three years, when Seventh Prince Bi Ying ascends to the throne, Fei Anmin, the Vice Minister of the Grand Council, who supports Seventh Prince Bi Ying, will definitely become the Minister of the Grand Council. That position is the most powerful one in the world. At that time, the family will be in even more danger … "Liu Yaoguang said worriedly.
Ling Dong was very happy that Liu Yaoguang was so considerate of the Ling family. If you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, you will follow the dog. She will think for her husband's family. This is the duty of a wife.
"It's fine. Don't worry. After what happened today, the Seventh Prince still wants to ascend to the throne of the Royal Court? Dream on! "After saying these words, Ling Dong brought Liu Yaoguang straight to the Alchemy Emperor Palace.
Of course, Ling Dong wasn't stupid enough to think that he could make the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, lose power just because he asked Mansion Master Yuan of the Alchemy Emperor Palace to support someone else. That was simply impossible.
After all, Seventh Prince Bi Ying still had the support of another Mansion Master, You Shansong. Ling Dong had other plans for going to the Alchemy Emperor Palace.
After hearing Ling Dong's instructions, Liu Yaoguang was shocked, but she also started to think.
Making the Seventh Prince, who had already gained power, lose power, as far as the current situation was concerned, this was simply an impossible task. But today, Ling Dong had decisively thrown out these words!
Based on Liu Yaoguang's understanding of Ling Dong, she knew very well that Ling Dong was not the kind of person who would spout nonsense and boast. He was someone who would do what he said and do what he said.
According to Liu Yaoguang's observation, she had never seen Ling Dong go back on his words. Liu Yaoguang was suddenly very curious. How did her husband manage to do the seemingly impossible thing of making the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, lose his power and step down this time?
While Liu Yaoguang was curious, Ling Dong had already decided to put an idea that he had thought about in the past into action. Mansion Master Yuan Chen was also an important part of Ling Dong's plan.
It was best to have this power in his own hands.
.....
"Dong Er, you're finally here. The alchemy competition will be held in three days to decide the right to use the Earth Fire Alchemy Palace for the next five years. If you didn't come, I would have been so anxious that I was about to explode. " In the East Hall of the Pill Emperor Palace, Mansion Master Yuan Chen, who had been sleeping, came out barefooted to welcome Ling Dong's arrival.
"Teacher, I've made you anxious." Looking at Yuan Chen's anxious look, Ling Dong apologized profusely.
After the teacher and disciple talked for a while, Yuan Chen pointed at Liu Yaoguang, who was behind Ling Dong, and asked, "This is?"
"I'm Liu Yaoguang. Greetings, Master Yuan." Liu Yaoguang bowed. Ling Dong touched the back of his head and introduced her in embarrassment. "Teacher, heh, this is my fiancée."
Yuan Chen was stunned when he heard that. He glanced at Ling Dong, but he wasn't surprised. Although Ling Dong had Zi Yao and Liu Yaoguang, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Yuan Chen was just curious. Where did Ling Dong get such good fortune to have two peerless beauties in his arms?
It wasn't easy even for an emperor to have one peerless beauty with such good looks and temperament, let alone two.
Yuan Chen was puzzled, but he still laughed and said, "Good, good, good. This is the first time we're meeting, but I'm embarrassed to let her come empty-handed. Here, I don't have anything good, only elixirs. I'll give you this bottle of elixirs as a greeting gift. "
When Liu Yaoguang thanked him and accepted it, Yuan Chen threw another bottle to Ling Dong and said, "I can't favor one and discriminate against the other. As for Zi Yao, you can also give her a bottle of these Minor Youth-Retaining Elixirs."
"What? Minor Youth-Retaining Elixirs? "Liu Yaoguang, who had just accepted the bottle of elixirs, was shocked.
"Minor Youth-Retaining Elixirs? Teacher, you've become a Heaven Alchemist and refined the Minor Youth-Retaining Elixirs? "Ling Dong was also very surprised. Only Heaven Alchemists could refine this Minor Youth-Retaining Elixir. Even ordinary Heaven Alchemists couldn't refine it.
The effect of this Minor Youth-Retaining Elixir was very simple, which was to retain one's youthfulness. It was a very precious elixir. When a martial artist's cultivation entered the Heaven Dipper Realm, the speed of aging would become very slow. But it was only slow. They would still become old in the end. This was also the reason why Liu Yaoguang exclaimed after hearing about the Minor Youth-Retaining Elixir.
To women, especially beautiful women, this thing was even more tempting than a treasure of heaven and earth.
"Yes, the Minor Youth-Retaining Elixir. There's only one pill in a bottle. Consuming one pill can guarantee six years of youthfulness. " After the introduction, Yuan Chen waved his hand at Ling Dong and said, "If I become a Heaven Alchemist, why would I care about some alchemy competition? This Minor Youth-Retaining Elixir was passed down by my master several decades ago. There are only two left. I'll just give it away today. "
"Thank you, master, for giving me this elixir!" Liu Yaoguang, who was overjoyed, bowed to Yuan Chen again. To a beautiful woman like her, six years of youthfulness was already very tempting.
"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning."
After settling Liu Yaoguang in the guest room, Ling Dong and Yuan Chen went to Yuan Chen's study room to have a long talk.
"Dong-er, don't run around for the next few days. Refine your elixir properly and prepare for the alchemy competition. Let me tell you, this alchemy competition … "
"Master, there's no need to compete in this alchemy competition." Ling Dong suddenly said something shocking.
Yuan Chen frowned. "Why? That's impossible. "
