Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 47 The Crown Prince is often ill; you must strive to heal him.

"Did my breakthrough of two realms in one day really improve Qi Tanhua so much?"

Lian Shanxin tried to remain calm and feign composure, attempting to deceive the authorities.

"Heavenly Sword" glanced at Lian Shanxin, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

In the end, it was decided to bring the child to his senses to prevent him from becoming blindly arrogant.

"Qi Tanhua's promotion has nothing to do with you."

"what?"

Lian Shanxin was shocked.

It has nothing to do with me?
How is that possible?

Dai Yueying's body is barely cold, and you say this, "Heavenly Sword"? Dai Yueying will die with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Lian Shanxin asked.

"Heavenly Sword" hesitated again.

He shouldn't have dismantled Qi Shiyun Terrace in theory.

However, he did not expect Lian Shanxin to be so trusting, directly attributing Qi Shiyun's achievements to himself.

When a person's perception is distorted, many of their actions are prone to becoming abnormal.

Out of concern for Lian Shanxin, "Tianjian" revealed some inside information to him: "You are not the only 'chosen one' that Shiyun has her eye on."

Lian Shanxin: "...How many 'chosen ones' has Qi Tanhua nurtured?"

"As far as I know, you are the 91st."

Lian Shanxin's body was trembling.

Does this sound like a word?

Is LeBron James' talent something that can be found everywhere?

And surprisingly, I was ranked 91st.

This is a defamation of my reputation.

I always turn off the lights when I do it.

They never record videos even when the lights are on.

"Heavenly Sword" saw Lian Shanxin's disbelief and understood it perfectly.

He had the same reaction when he first learned about Qi Shiyun's playboy behavior.

"Don't be sad. This is how your 'Chosen One' lineage is. Shiyun also learned from her master's mistakes."

Lian Shanxin tried hard to control his sadness.

Forcing himself to stay alert, he began to inquire about the inside story of his lineage: "Sir, what happened to our lineage leader?"

"Old Xie trained thirty-six people back then, but only Shiyun proved herself and broke through. The other thirty-five all died. Your lineage is often betrayed. If Shiyun had also died in a scheme, Old Xie would have died with her. Having fewer people is that disadvantageous."

Lian Shanxin felt a cold wind blow.

He understood the subtext of "Heavenly Sword": "Sir, how did those thirty-five people who died die?"

"Heavenly Sword" looked at Lian Shanxin with eyes full of admiration.

"Five people were killed by the demonic sect, and five people died on the battlefield."

Lian Shanxin didn't even blink.

This is considered a death in the line of duty, there's nothing more to say.

"There were ten more people who died in the struggle for the throne back then. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he gave them a grand funeral and treated their families well."

Lian Shanxin remained expressionless; there was nothing more to say.

Their lineage must participate in the struggle for succession; victory means meteoric rise, defeat means the extinction of their entire clan. They must take responsibility for their choices; life and death are predestined, there's nothing wrong with that, adults all have this awareness.

"The cause of death for the remaining fifteen people is rather strange. Ten of them died in the capital city for various reasons."

"Under the Emperor's nose, among the Nine Heavens' direct descendants, ten people died inexplicably?" Lian Shanxin questioned. "Heavenly Sword" patiently explained: "It's not inexplicable. Each of these ten 'chosen ones' who died in the capital city had a reason. Three of them went mad with their cultivation, three were poisoned, and the other four chose to hang themselves."

Lian Shanxin felt a chill run through him: "My lord, is this explanation plausible? Is this something that should happen in the capital city under the emperor's nose?"

"Heavenly Sword" patted Lian Shanxin on the shoulder and comforted him, "The capital is for our eight lineages; your lineage is an anomaly."

Lian Shanxin said truthfully, "Sir, you really know how to comfort people."

"I'm really trying to comfort you. Of the ten 'chosen ones' who died in the capital, at least one has a clear official cause of death, even if you don't want to believe it. The cause of death for the remaining five 'chosen ones' who died elsewhere has still not been determined."

Lian Shanxin's face paled slightly: "Even with the power and influence of 'Nine Heavens,' they can't find out the truth?"

"Heavenly Sword" spoke frankly: "We can't investigate everything, can we? What if we find something wrong?"

Lian Shanxin had nothing to say.

"In short, Shiyun is now the only one left under Lao Xie's command. If Shiyun hadn't applied to go on official business, Lao Xie would never have let her come to Jiangzhou. Lao Xie's life is now tied to Shiyun's. Shiyun is actually in great danger and may even be hunted down by a Grandmaster on the Heavenly Ranking."

Lian Shanxin was somewhat worried about Qi Shiyun's safety.

Your own angel investor needs to stay alive.

"It seems that Qi Tanhua is the key to the survival of our lineage."

"good."

"Heavenly Sword" explained to Qi Shiyun: "Shiyun herself knows this, so she must cultivate more 'chosen ones' to try not to let you all die, so as not to fall into the same predicament as Old Xie. Because Shiyun cultivates more people, her cultivation progresses faster. Of course, the trouble is also greater, as she always has to help those people deal with problems."

"The students basically understand. It seems that Qi Tanhua's breakthrough this time really has nothing to do with me."

Lian Shanxin was pleased that he had cleared his name.

However, he disliked the current state of their lineage as revealed by "Heavenly Sword".

It was filled with a strong sense of insecurity.

We must enhance our self-protection capabilities as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Lian Shanxin spoke again: "My lord, are you familiar with the Golden Scale Alliance?"

"Heavenly Sword" was somewhat surprised: "What do you mean?"

Lian Shanxin spoke frankly: "If I want to quickly increase my strength, I must do something big that will shake Jiangzhou. I have found out that the Golden Scale Alliance is suspected of harboring the Demonic Sect, and Thousand Faces may even be hiding in the Golden Scale Alliance. If the Golden Scale Alliance does not obey you, I may strike hard."

Let's first check if the Golden Scale Alliance has a "Heavenly Sword" background.

This is very important.

The way "Heavenly Sword" looked at Lian Shanxin began to turn strange.

“I am not familiar with the Golden Scale Alliance, but I know its origins.”

Lian Shanxin perked up: "I was just about to ask you, sir."

"The Consort Shu in the palace is the elder sister of the Governor of Jiangzhou."

"Heavenly Sword" first mentioned something that seemed unrelated.

Lian Shanxin nodded: "The student knows this."

After all, he had lived in Jiangzhou City for eighteen years and knew about the governor's background.

"Tianjian" continued, "Consort Shu has given birth to a son for His Majesty, who is currently the most prominent second prince in the capital."

Lian Shanxin blinked: "The Second Prince is very capable?"

"Heavenly Sword" said calmly, "He is proficient in both literary and military arts. He is praised by the court and the public far more than the Crown Prince."

Lian Shanxin asked the crucial question precisely: "What is His Majesty's attitude towards the Second Prince?"

"Tianjian's" tone changed: "His Majesty said that the Crown Prince is often ill, and you should try your best to heal him."

Lian Shanxin narrowed his eyes slightly.

How vicious those words were!
"Ever since His Majesty uttered those words, the Golden Scale Alliance has begun its massive expansion. Lian Shanxin, do you understand?"
