"I've thought of this possibility before."

Xu Ben thought about it, then shook his head: "But I feel like the timing is a bit off."

Xu Jiang's brain is not given for nothing. When he asked the question just now, he had already denied his own guess.

As Xu Ben said, the timing doesn't match.

After Ning Fan was injured while challenging the old Sword God, people immediately infiltrated Jinfeng City.

If it was the battle between the two that had an impact on Ling Mo, it must have been because of the long sword that suddenly appeared on Wujian Mountain.

Although neither Xu Jiang nor Xu Ben had seen that scene with their own eyes, they could roughly imagine how spectacular the scene was based on the description.

And Ling Mo will definitely know this news.

Perhaps, he thought Ning Fan's strength exceeded his expectations, so he resorted to such dirty tricks.

This process is reasonable.

But Xu Jiang really couldn't accept believing that Diancheng was wary of Ning Fan because of their previous confrontation and started to deal with Ning Fan in such a despicable way.

As far as I know, Ling Mo is not easily frightened.

As for those who sneaked into Jinfeng City, both the way they entered Jinfeng City and the process of processing information after entering seemed extremely decisive and planned.

This is definitely not something that can be decided and executed on a whim.

That means Ling Mo had already had this plan long before Ning Fan went to Wujian Mountain.

Ning Fan’s injury may just be a signal.

Ling Mo judged that Ning Fan might be injured in Wujian Mountain, so he planned to attack Ning Fan's family during the period when Ning Fan was injured, trying to cause a psychological blow to Ning Fan!

If this is true, then perhaps the facts are just as Xu Ben guessed.

Ling Mo must be facing a crisis that they are not aware of at this time.

"besides."

Xu Ben seemed to be quite addicted to this state of "imitating Ning Fan": "Ning Fan said before that Diancheng has been tempting us to attack them."

Xu Jiang has the most say in this matter.

Because he almost fell into Ling Mo's trap before.

In the end, Ning Fan rescued him at the risk of being killed.

Before that, Ning Fan had told him that all of Diancheng's actions were intentionally aimed at leading people towards him.

At the same time, Ning Fan also felt more boldly that Ling Mo might be subject to some kind of restriction and unable to leave Diancheng.

Now, Xu Ben is analyzing according to Ning Fan's idea.

"Look, if Ling Mo really can't leave Peak City, it means he is indeed subject to some kind of restriction."

Xu Ben continued to show off his brilliance: "And this restriction may not only prevent him from leaving the Peak City, but may even endanger his life."

Xu Jiang's eyes fixed.

Although he still didn't know the basis for Xu Ben's guess, he had a hunch in his heart that this kid might really be right.

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Xu Ben suddenly asked, "Dad, does Ling Mo have a wife or girlfriend?"

The sudden change in tone made Xu Jiang almost unable to keep up with his pace.

"What?"

Perhaps because of his age, Xu Jiang's brain speed is obviously a level lower than Xu Ben's.

"That is, does he have any children?"

Xu Ben asked more directly.

Xu Jiang was about to answer when he suddenly understood what Xu Ben meant by asking this question.

"Do you think he is helping his child clear out the trouble he is facing?"

In fact, if you think in this direction, everything can be explained.

Ling Mo suffers from a chronic illness and cannot leave Diancheng, and his offspring is about to ascend the throne.

The people in the lower city are currently a major threat to the top city. Ling Mo feels that they will threaten his children, so he wants to get rid of this unstable factor before he runs out of energy.

Under such circumstances, the so-called face seems to be really not that important.

Most people will give up what they once held on to for their children.

Perhaps, Ling Mo is no exception?

However, just when Xu Ben felt that his guess was almost certain...

“Not likely.”

Xu Jiang frowned, as if he was carefully searching his mind for all the information about Diancheng.

"The inheritance of Diancheng is not what you imagine."

"In Diancheng, each successive generation of emperors will not accept the assistance and help of their fathers."

"Or, in other words, when the next generation fails to meet the succession requirements, the throne doesn't necessarily have to be inherited by someone of the same clan or origin."

"This is also the reason why Diancheng has been able to stand firm in Shangcheng for so many years. The emperor there is the one who is most capable."

"Of course, the bloodline of Diancheng doesn't change that frequently. The talents of the previous generations were all extremely good, and the younger generations have also inherited the advantages of the older generation very well."

"Besides..."

Speaking of this, Xu Jiang's eyes were filled with strong hatred.

He tried not to appear too excited.

After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "In Diancheng, every generation receives the strictest and highest quality training after birth."

Imperial teacher.

This "profession" is the one who truly assists every generation of emperors.

As for why Xu Jiang stopped here, it was because his father was once the emperor's teacher.
