Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 786 Shaobai + Shaoge 23

Once the general tone of not having any intention of competing for the throne was set, the rest of the things would be much easier to handle. Even the White Prince Xiao Chong and the Red Prince Xiao Yu could cooperate for a short period of time and do things for his side.

In order to save the face of Jiang Xinxin and Wuxin, King Bai Xiao Chong did not wait for Xiao Se to make his official appearance, but secretly came to ask for cooperation.

The moment he met the White King Xiao Chong, Xiao Se had a new understanding of Jiang Xinxin, but he did not immediately agree to join forces with the White King Xiao Chong.

In the eyes of Prince Bai Xiao Chong, the most valuable cards Xiao Se had were the absolute preference from Emperor Mingde and Jiang Xinxin. No matter how good the other cards were, they could not outweigh the fact that Xiao Se was determined to overturn the case for Prince Langya.

Prince Bai Xiao Chong has learned a lot from his uncle Xiao Xie's operation of framing the military god Ye Yu. He is probably the only one among the princes who understands why Emperor Mingde is afraid of Prince Langya. Therefore, he does not think that Xiao Se, who is determined to reverse the case for Prince Langya, is his opponent. On the contrary, if they cooperate with each other, they may achieve a win-win situation.

More importantly, Prince Bai Xiao Chong was certain that Wuxin would not stand on Xiao Yu's side just because of the so-called blood relationship. He even suspected that the last time Wuxin and Jiang Xinxin came to Tianqi City, Wuxin had already found a way to meet with the favored Concubine Xuan in the palace, and it seemed that the result was not as expected.

White King Xiao Chong did not expect to reach any agreement with Xiao Se by going there today. Both sides were just taking this opportunity to test each other. It was obvious that both sides were quite satisfied with each other, especially since Red King had already locked in his defeat in advance, and Xiao Se...

Prince Bai Xiao Chong couldn't tell how he felt. He always felt that Xiao Se didn't seem to be that obsessed with the throne, but he wouldn't put everything on his momentary feelings. He would definitely put in the effort to do what he had to do.

Emperor Mingde was still often in a coma in the palace. Grand Tutor Dong Zhu and Marquis of Lanyue Xiao Yueli were in charge of the court. In addition, Ye Xiaoying was tricked by Emperor Mingde again and left the palace with a blank imperial edict without the imperial seal.

The gate of the general's mansion was almost broken by people. Ye Ruoyi didn't dare to show up easily since she lived in Xueluo Villa, for fear of ruining the plans of the Ye family and Xiao Se.

Xiao Se also welcomed Ji Xue, the young master of the White Tiger Hall.

Ji Xue looked very heroic with his white hair. Sikong Qianluo's eyes brightened when he saw him. Ji Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiao Se's jealous look. However, what interested her most at the moment was Zhao Yuanshen, who claimed to be the Grandmaster Wuxin and was also called the little senior.

Ji Xue said to Wu Xin, "At first, Xiao Se asked our Bai Xiao Tang to investigate the life story of the young senior Zhao Yuanxin, but later my father suddenly stopped all actions of Bai Xiao Tang regarding the young senior. Wu Xin, can you tell me the origin and life story of the young senior?"

Wu Xin looked at Xiao Se first. Xiao Se thought for a moment and said, "I do have some guesses about the young senior's origins, but I can't confirm them. The most important thing right now has nothing to do with the young senior. I'll tell you about it later when I'm free."

Ji Xue and Wu Xin still trusted Xiao Se very much, so the topic about Jiang Xinxin stopped there, but then Ji Xue said, "Regarding the matter of our Bai Xiao Tang restarting the martial arts ranking, I came here today to solemnly inform everyone of this matter, and I went to Muliang City to meet with the Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang before."

"In the past, the one who ranked first among the five great sword immortals was Dao Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen. Now I'm afraid it will be replaced by Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang."

Ji Xue almost said directly that as soon as the new martial arts ranking came out, the person ranked first on the list had changed from Taoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen to Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang.

Sikong Qianluo quickly asked, "Then where does my master uncle, the Drunken Sword Immortal Baili Dongjun rank?"

Ji Xue secretly sighed, "Drunken Sword Immortal Baili Dongjun has already refused to be ranked on the top list, saying that he feels guilty towards Ye Dingzhi. Without Ye Dingzhi's top list, he doesn't want to stay on it. And by now, the Drunken Sword Immortal is probably already on his way overseas to look for the legendary Ghost Immortal Mo Yi."

Sikong Qianluo sighed directly: "My father once said that Master Uncle has always been thinking about someone in his heart. Now it seems that person is not Wuxin's father, but someone else."

Wu Xin smiled with some ambiguous meaning: "My father can't let Jiu Jianxian miss him for so long. The person Jiu Jianxian misses should be Yue Yao, the daughter of the Northern Palace."

Sikong Qianluo became even more attached to Ji Xue when he heard some gossip. Ji Xue listened to Sikong Qianluo's constant urging and saw that Wu Xin didn't mind at all, so she started talking about the old things:

"After Beique was defeated by Beili, they went to Tianwaitian to settle down. Later, the survivors of Beique came up with a plan. They said that if they could use their natural martial veins to help Yuefengcheng practice the Xu Nian Gong to the highest level, they would be able to compete with Mr. Li from Jixia Academy. Then, Beique would have a chance to restore its country."

"At that time, there were two people who were born with martial veins, namely the current Drunken Sword Immortal Baili Dongjun and Ye Yun, the son of the God of War Ye Yu, Ye Dingzhi."

"Baili Dongjun was taught by the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen of Xichu and Mr. Li of the academy. He is also the only heir to the Xihou Mansion in Qiandongcheng Town. It is not easy for Yueyao, the daughter of Yuefengcheng, to take him away. Besides, the two are said to have a secret crush on each other."

“So, Ye Dingzhi, who was a disciple of the Southern Magic Sword Immortal Yu Shengmo, lost the protection of Yu Shengmo after the duel between Yu Shengmo and Mr. Li, and was taken advantage of by the four great envoys of the outer world, and was forced to practice the Void Thought Technique.”

"Bai Xiao Tang has no idea what happened at the time. All we know is that Ye Dingzhi survived Yue Fengcheng's attack, but Yue Fengcheng died in the secret room during his seclusion, and he completely fell out with Tian Wai Tian."

"Then Ye Dingzhi went to Tianqi City to rob a bride but failed. Later, due to some reasons, he lost his happy family and became possessed by the devil. That's when he listened to the instigation of the devil cult and led the thirty-six sects outside the domain to the east and north."

Wu Xin smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide about these things. My master told me that when the Ye family had not yet been stigmatized for treason, my father had an engagement with Empress Xuan, Yi Wenjun. However, this engagement disappeared later when everyone in the Ye family was publicly executed."

"Later, my father was willing to accept the marriage contract, probably because it was the only proof that he was a member of the Ye family. As for the marriage between Concubine Xuan Yi Wenjun and the then Jinyu King Xiao Ruojin, it was also decided by Shadow Sect Master Yi Bu and the late emperor. It was indeed a bit unreasonable for my father to go to Tianqi City to grab the bride."

"After giving birth to Red Prince Xiao Yu, Concubine Xuan took the opportunity to escape from the palace and went to Jiangnan to marry my father. As their son, I couldn't say anything. But my master told me that Concubine Xuan's sudden return to the palace was indeed due to the manipulation of the Four Great Envoys of the Heaven Beyond Heaven. She was completely confused and forcibly taken away."

"So, I don't want to think about anything else now. The only thing I want is to ask King Langya to fulfill his promise to my father and redress the injustice of the hundreds of people in the Ye family."

This was the first time Ji Xue heard all this inside information, and he began to understand more and more why his father Ji Ruofeng always sighed and said it was a pity whenever he mentioned Ye Dingzhi.

Xiao Se seemed to be thinking about something: "That's why the Third City Lord specially went to send you back to Tianwai Tian. I guess he thought that staying in Tianwai Tian was the best choice for you."

"You stayed in the golden coffin all the way, and even when you arrived at San Gu City, the White-haired Immortal and the Purple-robed Marquis secretly paved the way for Senior Brother. Most importantly, the Drunken Sword Immortal entrusted Senior Brother with the task of escorting you, which in itself represented the position of Snow Moon City."

Wu Xin was indeed grateful for the kindness of Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, but there was no need to talk more about these things at the moment. "The most important thing right now is the appearance of Prince Yong'an, everyone!"

Everyone finally put away their gossiping hearts, and Xiao Se also talked seriously about his plan: "I'm thinking of holding a banquet at Qianjintai."

Wu Xin asked, "A banquet must have a name. What name do you want to use?"

Xiao Se smiled and said, "Prince Yong'an has returned to Tianqi City. What better title can there be than this?"

Ji Xue did not comment, but also said that she would arrange the internal affairs on behalf of Bai Xiaotang, but she might not attend the event on purpose. Xiao Se understood this. Everyone in Tianqi City who should know about his relationship with Bai Xiaotang knew about it. Now Bai Xiaotang deliberately avoided it, just for the martial arts ranking in a few days.
