Chapter 88 - 35. The Truth About Tantian Sect_3
"Your Highness."
Second Master also clasped his hands and said, "We dare to entrust everything to you because Yu Shiqi is a very good child. She may be by your side to harness your power to go further, but this does not affect you. Those who scheme are us, not her. Moreover, once Yu Shiqi’s Cultivation improves, she will be able to help you in the future."
Lin Yue remained silent.
Indeed, Yu Shiqi still intended to take him to Di Hong City.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want her to accompany me to Di Hong City to become a Princess?"
Master and Second Master were both startled.
Then, Master shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you are mistaken. We do indeed have the idea of matchmaking Your Highness and Yu Shiqi, but we do not wish for Your Highness to go to Di Hong City."
"Why?" Lin Yue asked.
"Your Highness may not be aware, but the current situation in Di Hong City is such that the Princes are fiercely contending with each other."
Master sighed and said, "Even the Sixteenth Prince met his demise because of this, and it is by no means a good place. Naturally, we hope that Your Highness will take Yu Shiqi away from the center of the storm and cultivate in the wilderness."
Lin Yue looked thoughtful.
Seeing this, Master continued, "Your Highness may not know that the Patrol Envoy who was sent to escort you was truly named Xie Huaixian, but he was silenced on the way. We found his corpse and learned of this matter. According to the Imperial Family’s rules, the same Imperial Decree is almost never issued twice. It is clear that someone is targeting you."
"I know," Lin Yue slowly nodded.
Master sighed and said, "We originally planned to trap Your Highness and Yu Shiqi in Qingdu, using the assassination attempts to make Your Highness realize that Di Hong City is even more dangerous, thereby dispelling any thoughts you might have of going to Di Hong City and focusing on cultivating in the wilderness."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then asked, "What if I insist on going?"
He had a reason that left no choice but to go.
No matter what, he had to go to Di Hong City.
Master frowned slightly.
Second Master spoke helplessly, "If Your Highness is determined to go, we can only take Yu Shiqi and leave."
"What about a little later?"
Lin Yue said, "I can wait until I am fully prepared before entering Di Hong City."
Master sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness must know that the place with the most Cultivation experts in the world is Di Hong City, right?"
"I know," Lin Yue said slowly.
Master took a deep breath and asked, "Your Highness, do you realize that although Princes are of noble status, there are still many in this world who dare to kill a Prince?"
"I know," Lin Yue said softly.
He was one of them; how could others not be capable of the same?
"Your Highness, do you realize that once a Prince returns to the capital, whether willingly or not, he will ultimately be caught up in the vortex of the Princes’ power struggle?" Master said with a frown.
"I know," Lin Yue said.
At this moment, he thought of the Eighth Ring secret and could certainly anticipate the chaos that was to come.
Master was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Highness, do you understand that the reason why the Princes are powerful is not just because they are Princes but also because they are the favored children of many eras, which is why they became Princes?"
"I had guessed as much."
Lin Yue spoke in a low voice, "The Sect Leader of the Tantian Sect reincarnated as the Sixteenth Prince, but what about the previous Princes? Perhaps they were also the heroes of this world reincarnated?"
Master did not answer but was silent for a long while before saying, "Your Highness, knowing all this, do you still feel compelled to go to Di Hong City?"
Lin Yue looked at him and said calmly, "Though I have no wish to die, I’m not overly fearful of it. I have reasons that necessitate my going."
"Your Highness, I admire your resolve," Master said slowly, sighing. "But the Tantian Sect is only loyal to the reincarnated Sect Leader, the Sixteenth Prince. Let’s consider that we were never here. I will provide Your Highness with a map to Di Hong City, and Your Highness can proceed by himself."
Lin Yue pondered for a brief moment, then suddenly flipped his hand, producing an item, and said softly, "In consideration of this object, could your esteemed sect assist me?"
