...

"If you succeed and leave no hint of participation, then after I ascend the throne and the situation stabilizes, I will give you what you want!"

"Give me what I want?" Zhu Yan sneered in his heart. "Indeed, you will keep me silent at that time so that you can get rid of the testimony of crime!"

Even trusted subordinates will be eliminated once they lose their function, or abandoned when they are no longer needed. What’s less, the natural tendency of the tenth prince is to be too suspicious and not trust anyone. How could he tolerate this danger? Will he eat or sleep peacefully? Assassinate the core disciples of the seven martial arts houses? This charge alone is enough to sentence the tenth prince to death in the seven deep valleys!

If it fails, I will die!

If I succeed, I will die!

You deprived me of my wealth, destroyed my future, and wanted to take my life...

Yang Zhen, you are too cruel!

And my dear dear aunt; you also participated in this idea. To help your son fight for the throne, you used such a cruel method to your nephew. Good. Very good!

I will take control of my Zhu Yan’s fate in my own hands!

Zhu Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light. At this moment, he swore that everyone who fought with him or offended him would be killed!

I want strength! I want infinite power! Kill Ou Chuyang with strength, kill Yang Zhen with strength! Dominate everything, control all life and death!

Peng! The tenth prince opened the door and left the Zhu family branch with the guards. Lan Yunyue sat in the hall and watched the tenth prince walk away, feeling helpless and lost.

Zhu Yan's bedroom door was slightly open, leaving a small crack, like the jaws of some wild beasts lying on their sides. Lan Yunyue could not muster up the courage to enter the room, but she could not leave either. She could only stand in the empty hall and wait.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Zhu Yan finally came out of the room. Lan Yunyue turned around and stood up.

Zhu Yan turned around and threw a piece of paper at Lan Yunyue. Lan Yunyue glanced subconsciously. She had been looking forward to this. This was the contract document they signed after they got engaged to each other.

"Tear." Zhu Yan shouted.

"What... that... I'm sorry? Lan Yunyue's hand froze.

"Our participation was disbanded. From this moment on, I was deported by the Zhu family."

"Previously... fired?" Lan Yunyue was completely shocked. How could this happen

Zhu Yan said: "When you get engaged to me, the only reason you do this is because of my identity, power, influence and money. Now, I don't have these things anymore. You don't need to be with me anymore. Now, this engagement contract is just a joke."

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and the contract in Lan Yunyue's hand was torn to pieces by the real essence.

At that moment, Lan Yunyue was confused. In the "World of the Sky Wealth", it is shameful to divorce a girl after getting engaged. It is difficult to remarry. When rich people look for their wives, they will never settle for such women. If they do, it will only be a.

"You can leave now." Zhu Yan calmed down completely. He turned around and walked away, not even Lan Yunyue left. His heart was filled with immeasurable hatred. Zhu Yan died in that bedroom in the past. How could he think of Lan Yunyue's feelings?

…

When Lan Yunyue walked out of the Zhu Family Branch building, she walked to the street in a daze. It was over... Zhu Yan and her were completely over...

She suddenly realized that she did not have the sadness and miserable pain of a young girl she had left behind. Instead, she sighed and felt a peaceful comfort.

Apart from that ragged engagement paper, those extremely depressed and tired days are over...

On a late autumn night, the wind is filled with moisture, and it is very cold when it blows on your body. The nightlife of the City of Fate is as vivid as ever, with joyful and vibrant sounds permeating the air. In the luxuriant brothel, bright red lanterns hang high in the air. Under the dim light, Lan Yunyue heard the sound of women chatting.

Looking at the noisy world around her, Lan Yunyue suddenly smiled. It was a bittersweet smile, full of relief.

She remembered her childhood, when she and Ou Chuyang played with bamboo dragonflies on the wet spring grass.

She remembered when they would go out in the rain to pick small wild flowers, or cross the smooth stones of the stream to dip their toes into the cool spring. The fish would get up, bite their toes, giving them an itchy feeling... Because Ou Chuyang grew up in a restaurant; he knew how to prepare a delicious meal in a short time. He would catch pheasants, pick some wild vegetables and fruits, and bring his own pot to cook all kinds of delicious food.

Once, she was sick, and he ran for miles in the pouring rain, snatching some clear mountain spring water so that he could cook her some nutritious medicinal porridge...

But...she can never go back to those days.

Tears were already flowing down her face before she realized it.

She regretted it. However, what made her regret was not that Ou Chuyang had become the most dazzling superstar in the Kingdom of "Sky Fortune", or that she missed the opportunity to become the wife of the next state marshal or the seven ambassadors. No... What she regretted was that she abandoned the simplicity, pure happiness, and only useless luxury and vanity.

She walked aimlessly. Her fragile and seductive body was wrapped in a simple blue dress. Under the glittering red light of the lantern, she was covered with a hazy and lonely shadow. She was like a desolate blue butterfly, flying in the cold autumn wind.

She didn't want to return to the Seven Martial Arts House. Due to her talent, she had lost the support of precious herbs. In her life, she could no longer obtain high martial arts cultivation.

She doesn't want to go back to Green Mulberry City. She doesn't have a look back. She doesn't know how to face her parents or how to face her neighbors.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to see Ou Chuyang again. She doesn't want to say goodbye to him...

…

Ou Chuyang sat in the carriage pulled by Xuelong Horse. He had no idea how the fate of Zhu Yan and Lan Yunyue changed, and how Zhu Yan was full of hatred for him.

He knew that Zhu Yan's hatred for him had not been resolved. He also correctly guessed that Zhu Yan would wait for an opportunity to retaliate against him in the future. However, he could not kill Zhu Yan. Whether it was good or bad, Zhu Yan or a formal disciple of the seven major martial arts museums. Killing him would challenge the authority of the martial arts museum.

"Mr. Lin, please get out of the carriage." As the carriage stopped, a servant of the crown prince said respectfully.

Ou Chuyang pulled the curtains back to the carriage. He thought he would meet the crown prince in royal research. He did not expect that they would leave Sky Fortune City and arrive at the Zhoushan base. In fact, this location is not far from Qi Pro Martial Arts Hall.

When Ou Chuyang peeled off the carriage, he saw that they had actually stopped in front of the mansion. The mansion was not luxurious, but the interior was very elegant. There were small bridges hanging from the current and winding rock corridors. It did not look like a mansion. It was even more reminiscent of the garden.

"Haha, Brother Lin, do you like this place?"

"Huh?" Ou Chuyang hesitated. He had already made a vague guess about what Yang Lin wanted to do, that was to give him the right to residency.

If he obtains this right of residence, then he will become the crown prince. Ou Chuyang has no interest or reason to participate in the struggle for the throne. However, the crown prince and Muyi showed kindness to him. If the prince had not distributed amulets of voice to help him on the day of the entrance examination of the Seven Martial Arts Museums, Ou Chuyang would not be able to participate. Not only that, he might have been sentenced to prison or even disabled.

Ou Chuyang is a considerate person who rewards others with kindness and favoritism. Selfishness and ungratefulness are not part of his nature. If he had done such a thing, it would be his true betrayal in his heart.

He asked frankly: "Your Highness, what can I help you?"

Yang Lin didn't expect Ou Chuyang to speak out loud. It was refreshing. He smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you are a straightforward person and will speak out your own ideas. Then I will speak out too. Now in the "World of Sky Wealth", it is time for a new man to inherit the throne. There are two possible candidates to do this: my tenth brother and I. I was elected as the crown prince. Therefore, since I rode a tiger, I can no longer retreat. Now, the life of my queen mother and my sister's life are already connected with me.

Together, whether I want to or not, I must devote myself to this struggle for the throne. I know that Brother Lin is a martial artist who hates political conspiracy, but Brother Lin doesn’t have to worry. If Brother Lin is willing to help me, then I will not let Brother Lin do anything. What I need is the support of Brother Lin. Since Brother Lin is a core disciple of the Seven Martial Arts Houses, this will be very beneficial to me. If I have to take a step back and say it out, even if I lose the struggle for the throne, my tenth brother will never dare to touch Brother Lin.

Ou Chuyang replied: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I'm not afraid of the revenge of the 10th Crown Prince, nor am I afraid of assassination. But I may not stay in the Kingdom of Wealth in the Sky in the future."

"Oh...I understand." Yang Lin sighed in her heart. Ou Chuyang does have ambitions. He is very similar to Qin Xingxuan. A small country like "The Kingdom of Sky Wealth" cannot accommodate him.

Ou Chuyang said: "Your Highness, but I can guarantee that unless I am too far from the Kingdom of Wealth in the Sky, if I hear news about the battle for the throne, I will go back as soon as possible and lend it to Your Highness. Extend a helping hand."

Yang Lin said happily: "I am very grateful to Brother Lin!"

Yang Lin took Ou Chuyang to visit this place, which is actually a manor. The manor also has hundreds of acres of farmland. There are swarms of livestock, poultry, and ponds of big fish and shrimp. There are male servants, guards and maids in the manor. All the expenses of the manor are self-sufficient, and there is even a surplus.

In the bedroom of the manor there are some money and valuables. There is a sandalwood box on the table. It is lined up in several rows of real essence stones; these real natural gems are pure in color and obviously of high quality. There are over a hundred.

Even if Ou Chuyang uses these to practice every day, the number of these real gems is enough to last for half a year. The solid color of the real essential gems means that the number of real essence inside is many times the number of ordinary ones.

This gift; very generous.

In the box containing so many real stones, Ou Chuyang also found an ordinary ring. The ring looked like it was made of old bronze, but it exuded a trace of a faint fluctuation of true essence.

"Hmm? This is..."

Ou Chuyang's eyes were staring at the ring. He sent out his soul power to see what was unusual about this.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Brother Lin has good eyes. This is a low-level human step space ring. This is a gift from my teacher Mr. Muyi to his younger brother Lin."

"Space Ring?" Ou Chuyang was confused. He had heard of this kind of ringtone before. There was a small pocket inside that could be used to store many things. It was also said to be unstable. The fact is that in a few hundred years, the internal space will collapse on its own and the internal items will be destroyed.

Depending on its size and stability, the space ring can be divided into many different levels. Although this space ring is only a low-level human footstep treasure, its real value is as good as an intermediate human footstep treasure. This is because it is too difficult to create a space ring.

For a martial artist, it is easier said than done to crack in space. Even if only a small unstable space lasts for hundreds of years, it is not easy. The value of those space rings with huge internal space and very stable is immeasurable.

"Mr. Muyi gave me this?"

"Well. The teacher said that he got this space ring because Brother Lin. When Brother Lin first entered the Seven Martial Arts Hall, you may not know it yet, but Elder Xu of the Seven Martial Arts Hall and Wang Yanfeng's father are old friends, so Elder Xu is not satisfied with your appointment as the first new disciple. Therefore, Mr. Muyi bet with him. He bet that Brother Lin will enter the Heavenly Palace before Wang Yanfeng. In the end, Brother Lin entered the Heavenly Court and Elder Xu lost. This space ring is the bet for the bet."

"So that's it. I remember Elder Xu. After I defeated Wang Yanfeng, this old Xu went to the stage."

"Yes, it's him. So Brother Lin, please accept this space ring. Think this is Elder Xu's apology."

"Well, then I want to ask Your Highness to thank my pastor." Ou Chuyang hesitated for a moment and then received the gift. Since he had decided to extend a helping hand to the crown prince, he was no longer hypocritical in his behavior. Not to mention, this space ring was really convenient. Later, he could use it to store all the pile of inscription technical materials he had stored.

"Haha, Brother Lin, don't worry. There is something in the space ring. Senior Brother Lin can take it out as long as you send soul power through the space ring, it's fine."

"Oh?" Ou Chuyang used his soul power to penetrate the space ring as the crown prince said. He might feel some clothes inside. As soon as he took them out, he found that it was purple-gold flexible armor.

The flexible armor seems to be woven from fine metal wire. It feels soft and above the flexible armor are bright red blood symbols. The symbols of these blood are complex and mysterious. They shine with dazzling light. Ou Chuyang stared at it and found that the symbols of blood actually penetrated into the texture of the metal wire and became part of the flexible armor.

These bloody characters were obviously written after the creation of flexible armor. In order to have the ability to force these characters to weave through metal, this bold handwriting style is definitely a master-level master.

Yang Lin said: "This soft armor is named purple gold soft armor.
