Chapter 280 Betting
The two agreed readily.

This confirmed Chu Zhiyuan's guess: Wuyou Sect wanted to make friends with him.

These two honest people are not the kind of flexible people who know how to flatter or make friends with others.

It must be an order from the religion.

The three of them came to the small pavilion in front of the pond.

A small pool was dug in front of the cliff. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom and fish were swimming in it as if they were swimming in the void.

An octagonal pavilion was built in front of the pond.

Chu Zhiyuan invited the two to sit at the wooden table in the pavilion and took the tea offered by Zou Fang.

Taking a look at the valley, he smiled and said, "This was originally the old nest of the Yuding Sect. It was just cleared out a while ago. It's a good place and we can't let it go to waste, so we rebuilt this manor."

"I heard about it." Song Yichun said with a smile: "The Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect were swept away by the prince, and his divine power is unparalleled."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "They are just small fry. The Grand Master is too lazy to do anything. I am the only one who is not tired of sharing the burden. How is your sect doing recently?"

The two fell silent for a moment.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Can Grandmasters or Grandmasters enter the Wuyou Sect's secret place?"

Song Yichun said: "The secret place of our sect requires the innate realm to enter."

"I really admire this." Chu Zhiyuan said with emotion, "Unlike the imperial court, only a grandmaster can enter. I really want to see what the secret place looks like."

"If the prince really wants to go and see it, it may not be impossible." Song Yichun said.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I enter the secret place of your sect?"

"If you are really curious, you can go to the secret place of our sect to see what adventures you can find. I believe you will be very lucky."

Chu Zhiyuan was quite surprised.

He was just testing the waters, thinking that the Wuyou Sect was interested in making friends with him, and wanted to see their bottom line.

He would not feel any favor towards Wuyou Sect because of their friendship, but would be wary instead.

But the benefits should not be missed.

Making friends requires more than just empty words, just saying a few nice words and showing your goodwill will do.

How can sincerity be manifested? Naturally, it is attributed to matter.

"Can outsiders enter your sect's secret place?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Has anyone been in there before?"

"Of course outsiders cannot enter," Li Yilong shook his head, "but the prince is not an outsider."

Chu Zhiyuan blinked, not understanding what was going on.

Song Yichun smiled and said, "The Emperor has been to our sect's secret place."

Chu Zhiyuan asked in amazement: "When did the emperor's grandfather come in?"

"When His Majesty was still a prince, he entered the secret place of our sect twice, and after he ascended the throne, he entered once." Song Yichun said: "The Crown Prince can also enter."

"Can all royal descendants enter?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Song Yichun smiled and shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Are you ordering dishes based on the situation?"

"The prince is expected to become the emperor, so we naturally cannot generalize." Li Yilong said.

"Emperor?" Chu Zhiyuan waved his hands hurriedly: "No!"

Song Yichun asked curiously, "Doesn't the prince want to fight for the throne?"

Li Yilong also looked over curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan's mind turned and he understood.

This is when you start placing bets in advance.

His mind turned again.

This is the case with the Wuyou Sect, what about the other three religions?
The Yaoyue Palace probably didn't have this idea, the Jiuli Divine Sect might just be a coincidence, but the Yongling Divine Sect might not be a coincidence.

Besides these three religions, what about other sects?
Am I going to start a fight for the throne?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Who doesn't want to fight for the throne, but I'm not qualified yet."

"As long as you have the potential to become a grandmaster, you are qualified," said Li Yilong.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then wait until I become a Grandmaster. Before that, you should just be my heir."

"Is it because of Prince Ying?" Song Yichun said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Now it seems that Uncle Shi has the best chance of becoming the emperor."

Song Yichun shook his head and said, "That may not be the case."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled but said nothing.

"Your Highness, you don't believe it, do you?" Song Yichun asked, "Your Highness, do you think we treat Prince Ying the same way?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Could it be that your sect doesn't think highly of my Tenth Uncle?"

"Exactly."

"Oh--?"

"My sect also has disciples under the command of Prince Ying."

"Yeah." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The four major demon sects all have disciples serving in the army, which was part of the original covenant.

"Prince Ying is indeed a great man, with amazing talent on the battlefield, and he can be called a military god."

"Yes."

"But Prince Ying's martial arts talent is not that strong. Compared with the Crown Prince, there is a huge difference."

"Uncle Ten is not that weak, right?"

"Compared to the prince, a firefly is like the bright moon."

“Haha…” Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head: “That’s too exaggerated.”

"Rather than saying it's the bright moon, it's better to say it's the sun." Song Yichun said, "The prince's cultivation progress is far beyond that of those evil sect monsters. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Didn't your sect suspect that I was practicing the evil sect's mental method?"

"The Jade Lock and Golden Gate Technique is the only one who has truly mastered it. It is the only one who has truly mastered the three ancient inheritances." Song Yichun smiled: "Who in the world can compare to the prince? Even the emperor would feel ashamed of himself."

“You’re too kind,” Chu Zhiyuan touched his face and said with a smile, “I feel embarrassed by what you said.”

Song Yichun said: "Your Highness should not underestimate yourself. Your talent is truly unparalleled in the world."

Li Yilong nodded slowly.

One cannot help but admire him on this point. More importantly, the prince in front of him is not only a martial arts genius, but also a genius in governing the world. He is wise and intelligent.

It is unreasonable that such a genius cannot become emperor.

"The throne is not only determined by martial arts, there are other things as well."

"The Grand Master is the most important."

"Uncle Ten can also become a Grandmaster."

"In our opinion, Prince Ying may not be able to become a Grand Master."

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.

Song Yichun said: "Prince Ying was in the army when he was young, and he was actually seriously injured. His body was damaged, and his state of mind was also flawed."

"The foundation of my body has been damaged. With Uncle Ten's merits, it is enough to exchange for any elixir."

"Young Master, elixirs are not omnipotent. Some injuries are irreversible." Song Yichun shook his head.

Li Yilong said in a deep voice: "Moreover, long-term marching will also distort people's hearts and temperaments."

Chu Zhiyuan's heart was slightly moved, but his face remained calm: "Is it true that Uncle Shi can't become a Grandmaster?"

"It's extremely difficult. Even if you can get in, it will probably be extremely difficult." Song Yichun said, "The state of mind is the most difficult to mend."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

The state of mind is the hardest to mend.

In this way, the state of mind can be improved.

But it is difficult to make up for it, so it is best not to have any deficiency. The emperor’s meaning is to not let his state of mind be deficient.

But what is missing from my state of mind?

If the Zi Yang Sutra really has such miraculous effects, why can't Uncle Shi make up for the lack of his state of mind?
Uncle Shi’s realm should be gradually advancing one level at a time, and it should be extremely solid.

But because of the war, Uncle Shi’s state of mind was damaged?
Chu Zhiyuan looked towards the north, thoughtfully.

"Prince?"

"I still feel that Uncle Shi has the best chance of becoming the emperor. He has worked hard and made great contributions to my Dajing. It would be unfair if he could not become the emperor."

Song Yichun laughed and said, "My Lord, has there ever been fairness in this world?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I have a weak foundation and it is difficult for me to become a Grandmaster. But Uncle Shi is like this, taking one step at a time, and then making up for the shortcomings. On the contrary, he has accumulated a lot and it is easier for him to become a Grandmaster."

Song Yichun shook his head slightly: "If that were the case, the world would be filled with Grandmasters."

Li Yilong sighed, "My Lord, the world is inherently unfair."

This is his most profound experience.

Chu Zhiyuan changed the subject and asked with a smile, "What are the secret places of your sect?"
