“Manager Lu, it was this old man who imprisoned you here, and it has nothing to do with Princess Yudie. Who told you not to tell the identity of the cultivator who opened the Spirit Bone Tablet？ This is related to the fortune of the Great Chu royal family, so we had to resort to this expedient measure and screen them one by one.”
The great Confucian Fan Zhixing grinned at Lu Rushuang.
“Didn’t you already calculate that he would appear in the Shiyi Studio and participate in this Golden Scale Association？ Haven’t you found him yet？”
Lu Rushuang sneered at Fan Zhixing.
“Don’t worry. Today is the last day for the Golden Scale Association to enter the list. If he doesn’t come again, it means that the disaster has been broken and we are still the winners.”
Fan Zhixing said as he took out a painting scroll.
He placed the painting scroll on the chessboard and slowly unfolded it.
After the painting scroll was unfolded, three carp could be seen swimming in the west of the painting, as if looking for an exit.
“But don’t worry. According to the agreement when we drew a prison on the ground six years ago, as long as the person we are looking for enters the Golden Scale List, I will release you, as well as the brother and sister of the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall and the monk.”
Fan Zhixing lowered his head to look at the fish in the painting, and then said to Lu Rushuang with a smile.
“Old scholar, you’d better do what you say. Otherwise, even if you reach the fifth realm, I have a way to kill you.”
When Lu Rushuang said this, she turned her head to look at Chu Yudie, and then continued： “And your Chu Kingdom’s royal family.”
Her tone was very calm when she said this, but Chu Yudie, who was sitting opposite, couldn’t help but feel a chill on her back.
A cultivator who can fight back and forth with the Night Demon indeed has the qualification to say this.
And at this moment, with the sound of a “clang” of a bell, an old but extremely majestic voice resounded above Tangli Palace：
“The disciple of Zhenwu Tian Qingxuan Sect, Xu Taiping, has entered the register.”
Hearing this voice, both Lu Rushuang and Chu Tiancheng’s eyes lit up.
Seeing this, the second princess Chu Yudie’s heart tightened immediately, and she couldn’t help but ask：
“This person is actually a cultivator of Zhenwu Tian？”
Over the years, in order to solve the variable in Fan Zhixing’s divination that her third younger brother would ascend to the throne in the Golden Scale Association this time, she did not hesitate to imprison Lu Rushuang and her own younger sister and others in the name of breaking faith and righteousness. Then, according to the divination, she screened at least thousands of people, trying to find that cultivator.
But she never expected that this cultivator would actually come from the True Martial Heaven where the martial luck was almost cut off.
”Patta！”
Before Lu Rushuang could answer, the three fish in the painting on the chessboard suddenly jumped out of the painting together. Finally, they turned into a pair of siblings and a monk and appeared in the study.
They were Lu Yun and his sister and Master Chongde.
The escape of these three people from the painting meant that the method Fan Zhixing had set for the Great Chu royal family to break the situation had failed.
They could no longer stop the cultivator calculated in the divination from becoming a stumbling block for the Third Prince to ascend to the throne in the Golden Scale Association.
”It’s fate. Huanglao Dao is indeed the number one qi-watching sorcerer in Youyun Heaven. He really has no omissions in his calculations…”
The great Confucian Fan Zhixing smiled bitterly and sighed.
”Mother！~”
After seeing Lu Rushuang, the siblings Lu Yun rushed over and burst into tears.
”It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Lu Rushuang hugged the two of them and comforted them softly a few words. Then she turned her head and looked coldly at Chu Yudie and Fan Zhixing and said：
“This gamble is won by us. I hope you will keep your word and no longer interfere with us during the Golden Scale Assembly.”
Upon hearing this, Fan Zhixing nodded very seriously and said：
“Manager Lu, please rest assured. We have no intention of harming you and others. As for that cultivator Xu Taiping from True Martial Heaven, since he has already been on the list, he will be protected by the Emperor Youyun. Even the royal family dares not do such a thing that goes against the fortune of Emperor Youyun.”
Hearing this, Lu Rushuang snorted coldly, and then led Lu Yun and his sister and Monk Chongde, walking straight out of the palace without looking back.
“Sir, your divination has never been wrong. Are we just going to sit back and watch this Xu Taiping become a stumbling block on the way for my third brother to win the Golden Scale？”
Chu Yudie looked at the backs of Lu Rushuang and the others leaving with some reluctance and said.
“My divination only calculated that he would become an obstacle to the Third Prince. As for whether he will really defeat the Third Prince in the Golden Scale Assembly, that is not necessarily the case.”
Fan Zhixing put away the painting scroll and shook his head with a smile.
“The cultivation base of the Third Prince now, as you saw a few days ago, with only the cultivation base of half a step into the Divine Refinement Realm, he can fight evenly with the demons imprisoned in the Wangchuan Prison. He is simply a monster. Among the young cultivators in the world, very few can achieve this.”
He then added another sentence.
“The cultivation talent of the third brother is not inferior to that of any cultivator of the same generation in these five directions of the world.”
Hearing this, Chu Yudie nodded in deep agreement.
“But since this is the case, why did you, sir, try so hard to find this son at the beginning？”
Chu Yudie asked Fan Zhixing with some confusion.
If it weren’t for Fan Zhixing’s strong insistence, she wouldn’t have targeted her own younger sister, and even less would she have offended the hero who expelled the Night Demon.
“Of course it’s because as long as we get the method to open the Mahavairocana Seal from this son, we can completely control the Spiritual Bone Tablet in the hands of the Great Chu Royal Family. In this way, the Chu Royal Family will have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the cultivators in the world.”
Fan Zhixing explained to Chu Yudie.
Hearing this, a thick color of regret immediately appeared on Chu Yudie’s face.
But since Xu Taiping’s name has already entered the Golden Scale List, even if she asks the emperor father to take action, there is nothing she can do about Xu Taiping.
“It’s all because of this seventh sister who turns her elbow outwards and refuses to tell me that that person is Xu Taiping. Otherwise, we would have already captured him.”
Chu Yudie said with a face full of complaints.
But although she complains, in fact, she knows very well in her heart that she has no way to do anything about Chu Tiancheng. Although her younger sister is ignorant and incompetent, she is deeply loved by the emperor father.
This time, if it weren’t for the Lu Yun siblings as hostages, if she really told this matter to the emperor father, it’s still uncertain who would be punished in the end.
