"The man who brought you to Daliang was very powerful, so powerful that Mother didn't even have the courage to face him. She wanted to take Father and me away, but... before she could make a move, he showed up."
Liangqiu Yuzhe shook his head, a slightly bitter expression on his face. "That person chose Daliang as a place to hide his whereabouts, so naturally he didn't want other cultivators to appear here."
"If it were just my mother, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the enemies searching for her often appear. That person won't allow this."
The presence of cultivators here means that the news here may be transmitted back to the cultivator world. How could Hu Jiuyan allow that?
Once the beast tribe finds out something is wrong and the matter is exposed, he will probably be doomed.
"That man gave my mother two choices: either abandon my father and me, expose her whereabouts, and lead the enemy away, or... he would inform the emperor of what my mother had done and punish her according to the rules of the imperial palace."
Having said this, Liangqiu Yuzhe's expression had turned gloomy.
Originally, as a cultivator, his mother could not be bound by the rules of the mortal palace no matter what, but this person was standing in the way.
"...Mother chose the former," Liangqiu Yuzhe said calmly, "She traded her own life for my life and my father's."
Long Fei was speechless.
For Liangqiu Yuzhe's parents, this incident can be regarded as an unexpected disaster.
Everything was fine originally, even though the enemies were eyeing them covetously, but as time passed, the way out was already in sight.
He happened to run into Hu Jiuyan.
"My father didn't agree with my mother's decision. After all... what man could see his wife committing suicide? Or was it for her own sake?"
"After discussing it, they finally decided to go together. After luring the enemy away, if they are lucky enough to still be alive, they will come back to pick me up."
Liangqiu Yuzhe chuckled, "Maybe they think that as long as the truth is kept, I will still be the prince of Daliang, and I won't suffer!"
"But everyone knows that they are in great danger of death if they go! And how can I, a useless prince without a maternal family to rely on, possibly have a good life?!"
The strands of hair tumbled down from his forehead, obscuring the brilliance in his eyes. Liangqiu Yuzhe gritted his teeth and said, "Who needs them... to sacrifice so much!"
Apart from Liangqiu Yuzhe himself, the person who knows Liangqiu Yuzhe best about how he is living in the palace is Long Fei.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how those powerful servants bullied Liangqiu Yuzhe, and he had spoken out to stop them and brought him under his protection.
Even though he knew that what he could help with and what he could prevent were only a small part of it.
Taking a deep breath, Liangqiu Yuzhe calmed his excitement. "When my parents left, I was still young and ignorant, so my mother recorded all this information as images and sealed it in my memory."
He turned to look at Long Fei, "What impressed me most was my mother's last words. She said: That person will definitely fail. He who dares to touch the dragon clan will definitely pay the price!"
Long Fei raised an eyebrow, "So, this is why you hid everything and followed me?"
Liangqiu Yuzhe was able to react quickly when Hu Jiuyan and Yu Nuan were fighting and the entire palace was destroyed, and he took his men to control everyone in the palace.
This proves that he had already made preparations before this.
I had anticipated this happening early on, so I had been planning secretly and eventually became the winner of this fight.
Being able to control the entire palace shows that Liangqiu Yuzhe's power is not small. It can even be said that he holds a certain initiative in Daliang.
But before this, no one noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on the crown prince and the third prince.
The impression people have of the Tenth Prince might be that he is... soft, useless, and follows Long Fei to do evil things!
In fact, before today, Long Fei had never doubted his younger brother and thought of him as a poor little guy who needed protection.
Liangqiu Yuzhe was silent for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head. "That's part of the reason, but it's more about your attitude, Brother Nine."
"If there's anyone in this palace who truly loves me, it's you, Ninth Brother." Liangqiu Yuzhe smiled, "I believe in you, Ninth Brother."
In other words, Liangqiu Yu Zhejue believed that Long Fei could win the struggle with Hu Jiuyan and would one day escape from the predicament.
So he secretly made arrangements, developed his power, and waited for this day to come, and then... become the winner of this palace, no, this Daliang.
"Aren't you afraid that I will fail?" Long Fei asked back, "Nothing is absolute. Who knows, maybe I will lose?"
"In fact, this is the only choice I have." Liangqiu Yuzhe looked at him and said, "It's not that my mother didn't leave me a cultivation method, but I don't have spiritual roots. I'm destined to be a mortal in this life."
"How can a mortal compete with a cultivator? Not to mention avenging my parents? Besides placing my hopes on you, Ninth Brother, and waiting for my enemies to reach their doom, what else can I do?"
"But... in the end, you, Brother Nine, were victorious, weren't you?" Liangqiu Yuzhe said with a smile, "You wouldn't let the Hu guy go. I can be considered to be on the right side, avenging my parents."
Long Fei fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, from the beginning until now, Liangqiu Yuzhe had no idea how many things he had hidden from him, but Liangqiu Yuzhe had never done anything to let him down.
In the past, he had resolutely and earnestly carried out all his orders and requirements without ever complaining; now, he was just taking advantage of what was already destined to happen to seize something that was beneficial to him.
Without spiritual roots, one cannot become a cultivator and cannot enter the world of cultivators. From now on, Liangqiu Yuzhe will live in Daliang.
He couldn't wait until Long Fei and the others left and let Liangqiu Yuzhe remain his useless prince, right? Taking this opportunity to seize power would be the best outcome for him.
What is the future of Daliang? Who will be in power? These things are irrelevant to Long Fei, who has recovered his memory.
He doesn't care, so even if he finds out that Liangqiu Yuzhe is using his influence to seize power, he won't really mind.
Liangqiu Yuzhe understood this, so he did not hide anything. He told Long Fei whatever she wanted to know. Anyway, Long Fei had to leave eventually.
With a light sigh, Long Fei asked, "Whether or not one has spiritual roots is indeed the main factor in determining whether or not a person can become a cultivator, but it is not absolute. In the cultivator world, there are some top-notch spiritual materials and treasures that can help people cultivate spiritual roots. Do you know about this?"
Liangqiu Yuzhe smiled and nodded, "I know, it was mentioned in the message my mother left behind."
He knew it, but still chose to stay in Daliang.
After understanding this, Long Fei said nothing more and nodded, "I will leave tomorrow, and in the future... I will probably not come back."
"Well, Brother Jiu, do you want to have a drink together?" Liangqiu Yuzhe asked with a smile.
"Of course." Long Fei nodded.
