"Actually, you are all happy deep down, but you still pretend to be sad on the surface. It's really hard for you, Prince Liang."
Li Guxian suddenly said something strangely, which made Prince Liang and the Crown Prince's expressions change slightly, and they didn't answer for a while.
She continued: "The civil war in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has initially ended, and the Chu State is facing provocation from the Northern Territory, so why haven't Chu's troops withdrawn from the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"
Prince Liang's face was expressionless, while His Highness the Crown Prince was gloomy and silent.
Li Guxian waited for a while, but saw no reply from either of them, so she continued on her own: "After all, I am a warrior in the territory of Chu State, and I have practiced in Chu State for a long time, and I am a member of the royal family of Chu State.
In the officialdom, I understand the state of Chu’s thoughts very well.”
She looked at Prince Liang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a sneer: "I know exactly what you are thinking about and what Chu State is thinking about."
His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and said: "Then tell me, what are we planning?"
Li Guxian stared at His Highness the Crown Prince and said: "The Chu State no longer needs to think about the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. Although you have this strength, Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect will never allow you to invade the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"One hundred thousand years ago, the tragedy of the Nine Nether Demon Palace has given you enough price. Wansheng Mountain and Qitian Sect will never watch the Chu Kingdom slowly grow bigger and stronger."
"Even if you are now cooperative allies, if the huge interests of both parties are involved, they will still turn against each other."
"Chu State should understand this very well."
"But..." Li Guxian chuckled and said: "Our current Emperor Chu of the Chu State has already been unable to hold back his ambition to expand the territory since he broke through to the realm of a great supernatural power."
"The officials of the current dynasty and the generals of the army also wanted to make achievements and bring glory to their ancestors, so they were ready to take action."
"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is currently the crown prince, if he wants to ascend the throne and become emperor and be recognized by the warriors of the Chu Kingdom, he still needs to achieve great military exploits."
"After all, although His Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, there must be more people supporting His Highness the Third Prince both inside and outside the court of Chu."
"Especially now that Lin Bai has also left the Chu Kingdom, and the last trump card in the hands of His Royal Highness has disappeared."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also needs this battle to secure your position as Crown Prince!"
"Everyone inside and outside Chu, from the Emperor of Chu to the common people, seems to be ready for a full-scale war. This seems to be a God-given opportunity!"
Prince Liang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened carefully to Li Guxian's analysis. Although their faces remained calm, their hearts were filled with turmoil.
Because Li Guxian had almost a clear view of the internal situation of Chu State and analyzed it so lucidly that she had even noticed Chu State's restless ambitions.
His Highness the Crown Prince was speechless for a moment, and his face became increasingly gloomy and ugly: "The Chu State has never thought of invading the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"Furthermore, His Highness has never thought about being the Emperor of Chu or the prince!"
"Aren't all of these forced?"
"Haha." Li Guxian laughed when she heard this. With a pair of eyes narrowed into crescent moons on her smiling face, she looked at His Highness the Crown Prince strangely.
"You really don't want to be Emperor Chu?"
His Royal Highness was speechless for a moment.
Li Guxian continued: "I have met many people who keep saying that they have no interest in power, but... that is because these people were born into poverty and have never tasted the taste of power."
"No one in the world will give up this feeling easily once they have tasted the taste of power."
"Especially...men!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Liang glanced at His Highness the Prince quietly and saw that his face was extremely gloomy, with a look of displeasure on his face as if someone had read through his inner thoughts.
Li Guxian said calmly and speechlessly: "Actually, there is nothing shameful about it. It is human nature to desire power and high status."
"Is this human nature?" His Royal Highness finally spoke: "But it seems that Brother Lin has no such idea of being in a high position."
Li Guxian was stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak: "That's because he is burdened with too many things, forcing him to move forward."
"There are only two kinds of people in the world of martial arts. One is those who pursue profit, and the other is those who pursue the pinnacle of martial arts and become immortals!"
"And Lin Bai belongs to the second type. He must pursue power, pursue the peak of martial arts, and even pursue cultivation to become an immortal."
"If he doesn't move forward, he will die."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned: "It seems that both you and the emperor know many secrets that I don't know, especially about Brother Lin?"
Li Guxian stared at His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "Maybe it's because he regards you as a friend, so he didn't tell you."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chuckled and said, "You treat me as a friend, so you hide it from me?"
Li Guxian held up her hair and said softly: "If one day you know these things, you will understand that he really treats you as a friend and that's why he hid it from you."
After rambling for a while, Li Guxian brought the topic back to the main topic: "I came here just to remind Chu State that what you are planning is extremely dangerous and now is not the best time."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chuckled and said: "I don't know what Chu State is planning. That is what my father is thinking about, and I have no right to interfere."
"However, I don't know what Chu State is planning, but what Jiuyou Demon Palace is planning is also extremely dangerous."
"I also suggest that your plan should be stopped now."
Li Guxian shook her head and said: "We are different from Chu State. Chu State still has a way out, but we have no way out!"
"Uncle, uncle, I'm leaving."
Li Guxian bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, turned around and walked out of the study.
She is now the goddess of the Ninth Temple of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. Although she has committed many crimes within the territory of the Chu State, the Chu State does not dare to capture Li Guxian at this moment.
After Li Guxian left, His Royal Highness leaned back in his chair and said, "Uncle, what do you think of what Li Guxian said?"
Prince Liang hesitated for a while, with a gloomy expression on his face: "No matter what, this is a God-given opportunity, and we should wait for the opportunity. As for what will happen in the future? How will the situation change? Just act accordingly."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rubbed his brows. Sometimes he really regretted fighting for the crown prince's position, but found that it was not as simple as he thought after taking the throne.
Since the civil war broke out in the Seven Nights Sect, Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan and others led the army to the territory of the Seven Nights Sect, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince officially supervised the country. It was then that he realized how difficult this position was to take! (End of this chapter)
