Xiao Muyang was shaken in his heart, and he understood a lot at this moment.
Back then, only three of the four geniuses were designed to be murdered. Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sword God never mentioned the fourth one. It turned out that the fourth one was a member of the royal family.
Since he is a member of the royal family, he will naturally not be murdered.
At this moment, Xiao Muyang was wondering whether the person behind the scenes was the second prince?
This possibility is extremely high. After all, after the three great geniuses have fallen, only the second prince is left. No one can compete with him.
Xiao Muyang suddenly thought of something, and his heart trembled.
The prince cannot practice cultivation and will not be able to inherit the throne in the future. The person most likely to inherit the throne is undoubtedly the second prince. The plan to murder the three geniuses is to clear the obstacles for himself in advance.
But then he realized a problem. Even he could suspect the second prince. How could Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sword God not think of it? But they both said they didn't know who was behind the scenes. So besides the second prince, there should be
There are other possibilities.
He did not continue to think about it. This matter was more complicated than he thought. Unless he got substantial evidence, he could not determine who was behind the scenes.
Although Xiao Muyang thought a lot, in fact it only happened in a very short period of time, and Han Lun did not notice anything strange.
"The second prince should also be attending the prince's birthday." Xiao Muyang said, thinking that he could take this opportunity to get to know the second prince and what kind of person he is.
"I'm afraid the second prince won't show up," Han Lun replied.
Xiao Muyang's expression couldn't help but change. Is the relationship between the second prince and the prince so bad? The prince's birthday would not even appear on such a grand occasion.
"According to the information I got, the second prince went out for training many years ago and has never returned to the palace. It seems that he was affected by the incident that year." Han Lun explained.
Xiao Muyang's eyes were fixed upon hearing Han Lun's words. The incident that Han Lun was talking about that year should be the murder of Xia Yuan and Chu Xianling. After that, the second prince went out for training and has not come back yet.
It can be seen that even if what happened back then was not done by the second prince, it must have something to do with him, otherwise he would not have been practicing outside.
While talking, the two of them came outside an attic. Han Lun looked towards the attic and said, "Elder of the clan, I have something to ask of you."
"Come in." A vicissitudes of voice came out.
Then Han Lun and Xiao Muyang stepped into the attic and saw an old man with white hair closing his eyes and concentrating. He had no breath on his body and looked no different from an ordinary old man.
"Meet the clan elder." Han Lun bowed towards the clan elder.
The clan elder opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Muyang lightly, and then asked Han Lun, "Who is he?"
"He is a friend I just made. His name is Yang Mu. He is the descendant of a hidden master. Not long ago, he powerfully defeated a peak person in the celestial body and got a place to enter the birthday party." Han Lun said,
He made no secret of his praise for Xiao Muyang.
"Oh?" The old man showed a look of surprise and looked at Xiao Muyang again. The early stage of Zhongtian Xiang crushed the peak of Zhongtian Xiang. It seems that this boy's talent is very powerful. No wonder Han Lun specially brought him here to see him.
"Why did you bring him here?" the clan elder asked.
"Brother Yang came to the imperial city alone, and there is no strong person to protect him. I would like to ask the clan elders to enter the palace with him when the time comes." Han Lun said.
The elder's eyes showed a profound meaning, and he immediately understood the intention of Han Lun's move. However, Han Lun was his direct descendant, so he naturally hoped that Han Lun's status in the Han family could be improved.
"You will come with me to the palace then." The clan elder looked at Xiao Muyang and said.
"Thank you, senior." Xiao Muyang thanked him.
"It's a small matter." The clan elder said nonchalantly. To him, it was indeed just a small matter.
"I won't disturb the clan elders' practice. Let's take our leave now." Han Lun said.
"Go." The clan elder said calmly.
Then the two of them walked out of the pavilion. Han Lun looked at Xiao Muyang and said, "I will take Brother Yang to his residence to rest."
"Thank you, Brother Han." Xiao Muyang said with a smile. He took him to meet the clan elders as soon as he arrived at the mansion, and now he took him to his residence in person. It can be seen that Han Lun really wanted to make friends with him.
If his character is reliable, he can be introduced to Yunshu in the future. With the support of the Holy Son of Qianyuan Palace, Han Lun's position in the Han family must be extremely stable, but that is a story for another day.
After a while, Han Lun took Xiao Muyang to a separate courtyard. The environment was quiet and undisturbed. It was very suitable for practicing alone. It was obviously arranged by Han Lun deliberately for Xiao Muyang.
"Brother Yang has been living here these days. If you need anything, just tell me and I will send someone to bring it to you." Han Lun said.
"Yang has already troubled Brother Han by living here. It would be too rude to make other requests." Xiao Muyang replied.
"That's why I treat Brother Yang as a friend. If Brother Yang also treats me as a friend, don't talk about foreign affairs. Treat this place as your home. If you need anything, just say it directly." Han Lun said with a very serious expression.
"Since Brother Han said this, I do have something to ask for." Xiao Muyang said.
"What's the matter?" Han Lun asked.
"I need some heavenly and earthly treasures that nourish my soul. I wonder if Brother Han can get them?" Xiao Muyang said.
The battle with the Demon King exhausted Pengling's strength. Now Pengling fell into a deep sleep. He must nourish his soul to wake him up. However, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that nourish his soul are very rare and expensive. With his financial resources, he can't wake him up.
Can't buy it.
He originally planned to go to Ten Thousand Demons Island to 'borrow' some some time later, but since Han Lun really wanted to make friends with him, he asked Han Lun to help him first and repay the favor when he had the opportunity in the future.
"No problem, there are several large auction houses in the imperial city. I will send people to find the treasures of heaven and earth that nourish the soul later. If I find them, I will send them to you immediately." Han Lun said with a smile, not caring at all about the need.
At what price.
In Han Lun's view, the most valuable thing in the world is friendship with a strong person. If he encounters a life crisis, no amount of money will be of use, but a strong friend can save his life.
Then the two left a ray of soul in each other's sound transmission jade to facilitate contact in the future.
After Han Lun left, Xiao Muyang began to practice.
The next day, a figure came to the other courtyard. He was a servant of the Han family and brought some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Xiao Muyang, all of which had a nourishing effect on the soul.
On the third day, the prince's birthday finally arrived.
Many figures gathered outside the Han family's mansion, and standing in the middle was an old man, the elder of the clan whom Han Lun took Xiao Muyang to meet.
This time, he was the only supreme member of the Han family who came to the imperial city, so he represented the Han family in the palace to attend the prince's birthday, and of course, Xiao Muyang!
