His Highness the Crown Prince's expression suddenly became serious and he asked: "Brother Lin, have you ever considered returning to the Kingdom of Chu?"
"Haha, so that's the question." Lin Bai laughed out loud when he heard the words, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Prince Liang.
"Didn't Prince Liang inform His Royal Highness about my return to Tianya Pass last time?"
Prince Liang was silent for a while and replied: "I have already informed His Highness the Crown Prince about that matter, and I have also investigated it clearly."
"Last time Prince Qin returned to Tianya Pass, there was an immediate mutiny in the army. In fact, it was the Nine Nether Demon Palace that was behind it."
"They arranged all this."
Lin Bai looked at His Highness the Crown Prince calmly: "Has His Highness heard it? Not to mention that this is not the arrangement of Jiuyou Demon Palace, but at present, all the warriors from the Eastern Region hate me to the core."
"When I return to Chu State, the warriors of Chu State will not be able to tolerate me."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and said domineeringly: "As long as Brother Lin wants to come back, you don't have to think too much about other things, I have my own arrangements!"
"Arrangement? How to arrange it?" Lin Bai chuckled: "Let me return to Chu State, and then Chu State arranges for me to remain anonymous for thousands of years, and then let me come out after the limelight has passed?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: "Even if we need to remain anonymous for a period of time, the Chu State is willing to provide Brother Lin's cultivation resources and will not let Brother Lin stand still in his cultivation."
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "This is not what I want. I can't stay in Chu State forever. By the same token, I can't stay in Jiuyou Demon Palace forever."
"Your Highness, I have a knife in my blood, and I am destined not to stay in one place for too long."
"On the contrary..." Lin Bai paused and said to His Highness the Crown Prince: "If I stay in Chu State, it will be detrimental to Chu State."
"As for why it is detrimental to the Chu State, then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go back and ask your ancestors of the Chu State. They should know a thing or two."
Through Lin Bai's rational analysis, he knew that the senior officials and ancestors of Chu State also knew something about his origins.
They knew very well that keeping Lin Bai in the Chu State for a long time would be absolutely harmful and unfavorable to the Chu State.
After all, no matter where they are, the Tiantian clan is like a bomb that can explode at any time.
Just because he doesn't explode now doesn't mean he won't explode in the future.
Therefore, after Lin Bai was abducted by Jiuyou Demon Palace, the Chu State did not go to war to find Lin Bai, but instead waited and watched what would happen.
Lin Bai also had some guesses in his mind, but neither party made it clear.
After he finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned and thought for a while. Prince Liang beside him seemed to know some of the inside story, so he also chose to remain silent.
"No matter what, the State of Chu has not removed you. You are still the Holy Son of the Tianshui Sect and Prince Qin of the State of Chu!"
His Highness the Crown Prince hesitated again and again and only said this.
He no longer has any intention of forcing Lin Bai to return to Chu State. As Lin Bai said, if he goes back now, he will become the enemy of the entire Chu State.
"Speaking of Tianshui Sect..." Lin Bai suddenly thought of Bai Yifei and asked, "Why did Bai Yifei come to the border?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know much about you. After learning that you entered the Nine Nether Demon Palace, I felt a little upset."
"I originally planned to bring Bai Yifei here and let him persuade you to return to Chu State, but now it seems that I might as well forget it."
He smiled and said to Lin Bai: "You don't have to worry about Tianshui Sect and Bai Yifei, I will naturally keep them safe."
"With His Highness the Crown Prince's promise, I can rest assured." Lin Bai responded with a smile.
Immediately.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked again about the martial arts competition between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region: "It is said that this matter was led by Li Guxian of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"
"I really didn't realize that my niece has such great abilities?"
"What do you think of this competition? Are you sure about it?"
Lin Bai said: "We are somewhat certain, but since we are preparing, and the Northern Territory is also preparing, we still have to wait until we fight on the battlefield to know who will win and who will lose."
His Royal Highness the Prince nodded in agreement: "Okay, then Brother Lin, please concentrate on preparations during this period. I believe this battle will begin soon."
Lin Bai chatted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Qin in the study room again, then turned around and left the study room and returned to his residence.
After Lin Bai left, His Highness the Crown Prince said gloomily: "Uncle, you seem to know many things that I don't know?"
Prince Liang chuckled and said, "There are some things that His Royal Highness does not need to ask, and I dare not say them easily."
"Anything about Brother Lin?" His Highness the Crown Prince asked.
"Yes." Prince Liang replied.
"It seems like there are really a lot of secrets in Brother Lin, and they are very big. Are some secrets so big that even Chu State is intimidated?"
His Highness the Crown Prince already had some guesses in his mind, but he was wise enough not to state it clearly.
Immediately afterwards.
Footsteps were heard outside the study again. The sound was very soft and slow, not like a man, but like a woman.
"Our Princess Leping is here." Prince Liang did not take the initiative to go over and open the door this time, but stood in the study with His Royal Highness.
Soon, a pretty female voice sounded outside the door: "Li Guxian wants to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Come in." His Highness the Prince responded expressionlessly.
Li Guxian pushed the door open and went in. When she saw Prince Liang here, she was slightly surprised: "Prince Liang is also here?"
"What? Shouldn't I be here?" Prince Liang looked at Li Guxian like a smiling tiger and asked with a smile.
Li Guxian suddenly remembered something and said: "There are rumors both at home and abroad in Chu that Prince Liang has the intention to rebel, and he has never been on good terms with the royal family of Chu."
"It seems that the external rumors are somewhat false, right?"
Prince Liang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Guxian's attack to be so fierce. Just seeing him sitting with His Highness the Crown Prince, he made some assumptions in his mind.
Moreover, he brought this matter out in public at an inappropriate time, leaving Prince Liang and His Highness the Crown Prince unable to find words to refute for a while.
But Prince Liang was worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran. He quickly regained his composure and calmly replied: "Now that the enemy is ahead, I can still tell the difference between right and wrong."
"On the contrary, it's you who, thanks to the emperor's favor, did such a treacherous thing."
Li Guxian shook her head and said: "It cannot be said that it is apostasy, it can only be said that people have their own ambitions."
"Although I have worshiped in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, I can swear to God now that I have not done anything to disgrace the Chu State."
"No?" Prince Liang retorted: "The chaos caused by the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the imperial capital is not big enough? You have kidnapped so many saints and saints in the Eastern Region. Doesn't that mean you have not done anything sorry for our Chu country?
?”
Li Guxian's eyes suddenly changed and became sharp: "Then have I ever captured the saints and saints of the Chu Kingdom? Aren't the saints and saints that I captured mainly from Qitian Sect and Wansheng Mountain?
"
"In fact, Chu State is very happy about this, but on the surface, it seems that it is sad and sad. It is really embarrassing for Prince Liang."
