Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

Ming Zhenyue's pupils contracted slightly, and he said somewhat guiltily.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by being an enemy of the First Prince? I don't understand!"

Seeing that Lü Tu didn't speak, but just quietly looked at him.

Ming Zhenyue sighed.

"You're pretty smart, kid! Nothing gets hidden from you."

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth."

"Actually, I'm from the Third Princess's faction."

As he spoke, Ming Zhenyue pushed Lü Tu's hand away, his expression grave.

To put it bluntly...

"The Martial Emperor's time is drawing near; he only has a few years left to live."

Empress Wu had two sons and one daughter.

"The Second Prince, Wu Yueshen, is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in vying for the throne."

"The eldest prince, Wu Yuezhen, is quite shrewd and has been adept at navigating social situations over the years, accumulating immense power. He is the most likely candidate to seize the throne."

"But the eldest prince is ruthless and bloodthirsty, and will inevitably become a tyrant in the future. This is why Empress Wu has been hesitant to make him the crown prince."

"The Third Princess, Wu Yue Sha, is intelligent, upright, and kind. She would never kill innocent people indiscriminately. If she were to ascend the throne, she would be an outstanding empress."

"The problem is that the Third Princess is young and weak, and has no strength to compete with Wu Yuezhen."

She desperately needs someone like you, a true gem, to help her.

As he spoke, Ming Zhenyue turned to look at Lü Tu.

"I originally had my eye on Ye Linxiao, but I didn't expect you to come along."

"You are growing rapidly, and your potential is limitless in the future. With your help, the Third Princess will have a better chance of winning the throne."

Lu Tu clicked his tongue and grinned.

"So you want me to be at odds with the First Prince, so he won't try to win me over, and if I offend the First Prince, I'll have to rely on the Third Princess to protect myself?"

"Brilliant, Your Excellency, you are truly a master strategist."

Ming Zhenyue looked somewhat embarrassed, his eyes filled with apology.

"I had no choice but to do this; I was genuinely afraid you would run off to the First Prince's side."

"And that's only one reason. My main purpose is for the future of the Immortal Martial Empire."

"After all, if the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, given his bloodthirsty nature, no one will have a good time, and everyone will have to live under his tyranny."

At this point, Ming Zhenyue patted Lü Tu on the shoulder with tears in his eyes.

"Lu Tu~"

"I know it was wrong of me to scheme against you this time. Go ahead and yell at me if you want."

"But as long as it can give the Immortal Martial Empire a future, what does it matter if I, Ming Zhenyue, bear some infamy or even lose my life?"

Lü Tu immediately drew his longsword.

"Then I'll stab you to death right now!"

"No, no, no... don't be impulsive!"

Ming Zhenyue gave an awkward smile.

"I still have to dedicate myself to Xianwu, so I'll spare my life for now."

"Besides, we're on the same side, and we'll be working together under the Third Princess from now on."

"Think about it, if we can help the Third Princess overthrow the First Prince and personally support a Celestial Martial Empress, what will we have to worry about in the future?"

Lu Tu patted the hand that was resting on Kaiming Zhenyue's shoulder.

"I never said I wanted to pledge allegiance to the Third Princess."

"Huh? You..."

Seeing Ming Zhenyue's bewildered expression, Lü Tu chuckled.

"But don't worry, I'll take their money and do their bidding."

"Since I promised you I would kill Tao Ci, I will definitely do so."

"As for who I associate with in the future, that's my own business."

What a load of rubbish!

He'll associate with whoever benefits him, otherwise he'll be kicked out.

His core mission is to keep searching for the protagonist. Once the protagonist grows up, what does a small immortal martial arts empire matter?

Upon hearing that Lü Tu would kill Tao Ci, Ming Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief.

All that's needed is to kill him. Killing him will inevitably create a rift with the eldest prince, which will also achieve the goal.

"By the way, Prefect, I remember your daughter is also at the Immortal Martial Academy, isn't she?"

Ming Zhenyue nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Lu Tu chuckled.

"It's nothing. It's just that we're from the same hometown and it brings tears to our eyes. Ye Linxiao and I are unfamiliar with the place and people at the academy, so it's good to have someone we know to help us."

"What if I happen to hit it off with your daughter? We could even arrange a marriage, wouldn't you say, future father-in-law?"

Ming Zhenyue's eyebrows shot up in anger, and he roared.

"Lu Tu! I'm warning you, don't mess with my daughter."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited."

Lu Tu laughed and patted Ming Zhenyue on the shoulder.

"This is no joke, why are you so agitated?"

"By the way, Your Excellency, I have something to ask you."

Do you know what a "mirror" is?

Ming Zhenyue was somewhat puzzled.

"A mirror? What's that?"

"I don't know either, just keep an eye out for me."

"Alright! Remember to set off for the Immortal Martial Academy with Ye Linxiao as soon as possible. As for the benefits, I'll try my best to get them for you. Also, you're not allowed to mess with my daughter, or I won't let you off the hook."

Lü Tu waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I got it. Go get busy."

"..."

Ming Zhenyue wanted to curse but stopped himself, and finally stormed off in anger.

How dare Lü Tu treat him, a dignified governor of a prefecture, like this? It's simply outrageous!

But then I thought about it.

This guy is really something now; he doesn't even dare to criticize him.

Watching Ming Zhenyue's figure disappear into the horizon, Lü Tu frowned slightly.

"You old fox, aren't you going to tell the truth?"

"Luckily, I didn't intend to kill Tao Ci myself, otherwise I would have driven myself into a corner."

"Looks like we really do need to find an assassin. As long as Tao Ci is dead, that's all that matters."

Ming Zhenyue's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, so he naturally wouldn't believe them entirely.

He didn't care about any power struggles or imperial conflicts.

Let whoever wants to fight over it, just don't mess with him.

......

Return to Izumo Peak.

As soon as I pushed open the courtyard gate, I saw Luan Yang and Changyu Baiya sitting in the pavilion, staring at each other.

"What's going on between you two? Have you hit it off?"

Changyu Baiya immediately ran over, grabbed Lü Tu's arm and shook it back and forth, her frighteningly full breasts rubbing against him.

Her voice is so sweet it makes you want to vomit.

"Brother Donkey~ You're back! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

As she spoke, she gave Luan Yang a provocative glance.

hum~

Woman, what do you have to compete with me with?

Lü Tu, however, was completely oblivious to romance and flicked him on the forehead, sending him flying.

"I've seen plenty of clips, but this is the first time I've seen tweezers."

"Did you two need something from me?"

Luan Yang's crystal-clear earlobes flushed a rosy red, as if she was somewhat reluctant to speak.

"I...I want you to help me clear my meridians."

Changyu Baiya snorted.

"Are you just going to talk the talk without showing any sincerity? What kind of relationship do you have with Brother Donkey that you think you can just get through to him? Why should you get through to him?"

Luan Yang's expression was slightly cold.

"So what's your relationship with him?"

"Forehead......"

Changyu Baiya was truly stumped by the question, but she was quick-witted.

"None of us are human."

"Look, I am a fish, and he is a donkey; a red carp and a green carp and a donkey."

"And then there's Ma Yan, it's a horse!"

"Because we're all animals, we can form a small group. What makes you think you can?"

Lu Tu stroked his chin.

"Hey, you know what, I actually have a lot of animals around me~"

Donkey, fish, horse, and a dog.

Luan Yang was anxious, seemingly eager to integrate into Lü Tu's group, and blurted out without thinking.

"I...I am Luan!"

"I'm not human either."
