C299 An Undercurrent Was Surging

Ever since Ye Xu had been reborn and forged his spirit embryo, he had been unable to detect the existence of the system. Although the treasures obtained from the system were used normally, it was difficult for him to feel at ease.

He had never expected that the system would silently upgrade and even issue a different mission, which was to dig up corpses.

He had also heard about the Clear Palace. It was a place where the royal family spent a huge amount of money to build it and collect all the treasures in the world. However, it was burned to ashes by a huge fire, and many people died.

Could it be that the system wanted him to dig up the corpse of the person that was burned by the flames? They were probably all skeletons by now!

However, the system had never disappointed him. Even if the Clear Palace had become a forbidden area, Ye Xu still decided to find a way to explore it.

Now, he decided to make a trip to the Ning Family.

In just half a morning, the news of Ye Xu killing demons and being conferred the title of a loyal general and being able to lead the White Tiger Army had spread throughout the capital of the Great Wu Country.

What was even more surprising was that Ye Xu had already broken through to the Reality Breaking Stage at such a young age.

In an instant, Ye Xu had become one of the most popular young talents in the Great Wu Country. Countless pairs of eyes stared at him like a pack of wolves, and some even had the idea of forming a marriage alliance.

After all, everyone could see that it was only a matter of time before Ye Xu soared to the sky.

However, not everyone was optimistic about Ye Xu. Inside the Crown Prince Palace's Magnificent Hall, exquisite and beautiful porcelain pieces turned into crisp sounds, and the floor was filled with wreckage, making it hard for people to step down.

The Crown Prince stepped on the floating steps and angrily threw a tantrum at Prime Minister Zuo.

"Why can a country bumpkin like Ye Xu become a general and have the title of 'loyal hero'? I refuse to accept this!"

"He has offended his superiors and doesn't take me seriously at all. He has gone too far!"

"Why did Imperial Father treat him so well? I am his son! It's all Ye Xu's fault. He actually bewitched Imperial Father!"

Prime Minister Zuo still had the same kind expression as before. He calmly looked at the furious and anxious Crown Prince.

There was no need to think too much about it. The Crown Prince would surely vent his anger on him next.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince, who had lost a lot of things, gave Prime Minister Zuo an angry glance. He complained, "You are my outer ancestor after all, but you have to speak up for that Ye Xu. What do you want outsiders to think of me, the Crown Prince? Do I still want my dignity?"

Although he knew that the Crown Prince was stupid, Prime Minister Zuo couldn't help but tremble when he was criticized by a junior in front of a servant.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. His emotions had been calmed down. Prime Minister Zuo said faintly, "Crown Prince, it is His Majesty's intention to reward Ye Xu. Is the Crown Prince angry because His Majesty didn't like what he did?"

The Crown Prince was stunned. He thought for a few seconds and broke out in cold sweat. When he thought of Imperial Father's black hole like eyes, his body trembled.

How dare he complain to Imperial Father!

The arrogant attitude from before had cooled down. The Crown Prince mumbled, "I... I wouldn't dare... I'm just angry."

With such a frightened look, those who didn't know about it would still think that he was a servant.

A line of words suddenly appeared in Prime Minister Zuo's heart. A rotten wood cannot be carved. He shook his head coldly and said, "But His Majesty just rewarded Ye Xu, and many things in the Crown Prince's Palace were destroyed. What does His Majesty think?"

The Crown Prince finally realized the seriousness of the matter. His knees went soft and he was about to fall to the ground. It was Prime Minister Zuo who pulled him back before he could regain his balance.

The Crown Prince said in panic, "Then what should we do? I want to explain to Imperial Father. I don't think so! The servants who saw me smashing things were all pulled out to chop. I can't let today's incident spread out a single word! "

Immediately, the servants who were standing kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy while trembling.

Prime Minister Zuo's heart became colder and colder. He had planned for his daughter to give birth to the Crown Prince, but he never thought that such a useless thing would be born in the end!

It didn't matter if he was cruel or merciless, or he might even become a must-have quality of the imperial family. However, this kind of stupidity was simply a sin committed by his ancestors!

A clear voice came from outside, "Father, why are you in such a hurry?"0

His voice hadn't finished resounding through the air when a handsome young man walked in. He didn't wear any gold or silver on his body, and he wore an elegant and clean robe that was embroidered with surging rivers and seas.

His eyes were extremely beautiful, like a snow lotus on a mountain. It made people forget their worries and worries at first glance.

When the Crown Prince heard his voice, he smiled as if he had found his backbone. He said urgently, "Fan Er, you're finally back. Your father was almost killed by Ye Xu!"

Rui Fann wasn't in a hurry to ask. Instead, he bowed to Prime Minister Zuo and said, "Great-grandfather."

At this moment, a cool breeze blew by. It was hard to describe how elegant and graceful it was.

Prime Minister Zuo's brows furrowed and his eyes were filled with admiration. If it wasn't for his great-grandson, he would have given up on the Crown Prince a long time ago.

As for Rui Fann, he was only twenty years old, but he had already broken through to the Reality Breaking Stage. Now, he could freely control the pressure coming from his body, and his strength was unfathomable.

Fan Rui said, "Father, I already know about Ye Xu. He is trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. After snatching the White Tiger Army of Lin Family, the Lin Family will never let him go. If you are still angry, I will not let him off easily today at the Bright Moon Banquet. You just need to rest well."

The Crown Prince was very assured of his son. Hearing this, he smiled and said, Okay.

Seeing Prime Minister Zuo look at him, the Crown Prince understood that he had something to say to Fan Er. Just as he was about to withdraw to look for his concubine, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Fan'er, which side hall is the little beauty that I sent over a few days ago?"

Fan Rui's eyes sparkled. He raised his head and said with respect and concern, "Father wants a beauty, so I will find a good daughter. Not everyone can enter the Crown Prince's Palace."

The crown prince felt a little guilty. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he hesitated and said, "But that is..."

"That's enough!" Prime Minister Zuo said unhappily. He had never lost his temper. If he lost his temper, the Crown Prince would have to retreat." It's just a woman. What woman do you not have?! "

But it was his first time seeing such a cold, beautiful, and devastatingly beautiful woman, not to mention that it was Ye Xu's woman!

The Crown Prince knew that he couldn't refute it, so he backed off gloomily.

Prime Minister Zuo said, "I think you must have heard about the matter of Ye Xu being sealed today. No matter what the Emperor does, it doesn't matter. He values you the most. We just need to adapt to the changes. Third Prince was dead. His Majesty did not say it out loud, but he must have a grudge against Ye Xu in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him to deal with the Lin Family. But Ye Xu was young, and Lin Zheng wasn't a stupid person. Ye Xu might be able to find a way out."

As an important official of the court, Prime Minister Zuo had a very clear understanding of the situation. Rui Fann's enemy wasn't Ye Xu, but Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince.

Rui Fann said," The Imperial Grandfather wanted to deal with the Lin Family, but the Lin Family was like a clam shell. No one could say anything about it. If something were to happen to Ye Xu now, the Lin Family would definitely arouse suspicion, and the Imperial Grandfather would have a reason to take back the White Tiger Army of the Lin Family. If that's the case, the Imperial Grandfather will value me even more."

Prime Minister Zuo furrowed his brows and said," Right now, this matter is very serious, and it will be extremely difficult to succeed. You are already the successor that His Majesty values the most, so there is no need for you to do anything unnecessary. "

Rui Fann remembered the scene he saw when he returned to the courtyard before he went out. That woman, who was as cold and pure as a white lotus, frowned slightly. There was a trace of worry that could not be resolved in her eyes. When she saw him coming, the worry turned into deep disgust.

His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

If it wasn't for that person called Ye Xu, would she have fallen in love with him?

Rui Fann smiled gently, as if he had already seen Ye Xu's death and the scene of him getting the love of Ye Xu. He said, "Great-grandfather, don't worry. Rui Fann knows his limits."
