Liang Cheng's expression suddenly turned serious. Looking into Tu Shanyang's eyes, Liang Cheng asked a soul-searching question, "Did you see the Imperial Preceptor in Fourth Brother's residence? Yang'er, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Imperial Master Yun Ying was known for his indifference to fame and fortune, though Liang Cheng had long since seen that it was all just a facade to deceive the foolish world. However, Yun Ying and Liang Mo's involvement was quite unexpected, so what were they plotting together?
Tu Shanyang nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure! I stumbled into that dark cave by accident. I heard your fourth brother call out the word 'National Master', and I saw their hands covered in blood. There was also a strong smell of blood inside. I can't be wrong!"
The fox clan is very sensitive to smells, especially this kind of rich blood, which is so disgusting that it makes people want to vomit!
Liang Cheng rubbed the white jade ring on his thumb, his eyelids drooping, covering his beautiful pupils. Tu Shanyang didn't know what he was thinking. However, the matter she just mentioned should be quite important!
"Yang'er, you must never mention this to anyone else, understand?"
Tu Shanyang nodded obediently, but he had another plan in mind.
——
As soon as Gu Shu left the house, he saw Bai Ze not far away, who seemed to be posting something.
After walking over, Gu Shu dragged Bai Ze directly into the alley!
"Who else but you? Why are you pulling me? Do you want to die?"
Bai Ze hadn't taken a good look at Gu Shu yet, so he just kept howling, and every word he uttered became more arrogant and presumptuous than the last!
"Bai Ze!"
The voice was a little serious, with a little pressure, and Bai Ze immediately calmed down! But Bai Ze didn't dare to look up at the first time, because at this moment, he was just like Tu Shanyang just now. The first step he took when he heard this voice was shock!
Bai Ze swallowed nervously. At this moment, he was held in Gu Shu's hand, like a lifeless and wilted puppy. He didn't dare to move or resist at all.
Until Gu Shu spoke first!
"Why? Are you so scared of me?"
Bai Ze shook his head and quickly admitted his mistake.
"High Priest, I just, I just, I just didn't see you clearly just now. I thought you were a bad guy! I spoke out of turn in the moment. I hope that the High Priest will not hold my fault against me!"
Bai Ze was about to cry! Where on earth had that stupid fox gone? He was left here alone to bear the wrath of the high priest!
"Oh? Really?"
Hu Ji (Gu Shu) let Bai Ze go, and Bai Ze felt like he had been to the gates of hell!
Bai Ze coughed twice, then looked at Hu Ji in a very flattering manner, "I wonder if the High Priest has come to the human race on some important matter this time? If there is any need for me, Bai Ze will go through fire and water, even death, to help the High Priest!"
After saying all this in one breath, Bai Ze felt like he was almost passing out.
Hu Ji raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Ze calmly, "Are you really willing to die? Are you willing to accept anything?"
Hu Ji's words were a trap, but Bai Ze was too scared at the moment and had to quickly win a golden medal for himself. So, he naturally fell into the trap set by Hu Ji.
"Of course, High Priest, just speak!"
Hu Ji smiled and said, "You must have come to the human race with a mission!"
Bai Ze looked up at Hu Ji, then nodded with difficulty. This matter was instructed by his father, and it should not be revealed, but Bai Ze was always too timid in front of Hu Ji, so naturally he nodded and prepared to tell everything!
"You don't have to be so nervous. I also know that you are here to assist the Seventh Prince Liang Qi. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Yang'er to come and help!"
Bai Ze suddenly looked at Hu Ji, "Are you serious, High Priest?" A strong sense of excitement came over him, and Bai Ze could no longer describe his current mood in words!
However, there is a saying that goes: The higher you are praised one second, the more likely you are to be thrown off a cliff and shattered to pieces the next!
Hu Ji glanced at Bai Ze sympathetically. What a silly boy! He obviously liked Tu Shan Yang so much, but he just didn't know how to get along with Yang'er. Every time he made Yang'er run around in circles, he felt that his status in Yang'er's heart was a little higher.
Therefore, it is understandable that Yang'er was so easily seduced by that bastard in Liangcheng!
"But Yang'er doesn't intend to follow my orders to help the Seventh Prince!"
"Why?"
Bai Ze blurted it out almost immediately! It was no wonder Bai Ze was so surprised. After all, Tu Shanyang had just left the Fox Tribe and come to the Human Tribe for the first time. He didn't know anything, so how could he possibly know that he didn't want to help the Seventh Prince? Bai Ze had a bad premonition, and it came true the next second!
"Because Yang'er fell in love with a human man, and this human man is the Fifth Prince, the one we decided to remove from power first!"
Bai Ze took several steps back. Why was this happening?
"How could it be? It's just, it's only been a short time, how could Yang'er?"
Who was that man? Yang'er didn't understand love at all, so how could she know that she truly loved that man? Bai Ze didn't believe it. More accurately, he didn't want to believe that Tu Shanyang had given up on her and chosen an ordinary human man!
"High Priest, was it the Fifth Prince who forced Yang'er?"
Hu Ji sighed and looked at a tree in the distance. "Yang'er is not stupid. She knows what true love is. Last time, she had a big fight with me because of this Fifth Prince. Do you think she was forced?"
"But"
"No buts! Since I, the Nine-Tailed White Fox, have already chosen a side, it means that our fox clan will choose to support the Fifth Prince's lineage! So, Bai Ze! As expected, we are still standing on opposite sides!"
Bai Ze's eyes were red. This was the first time he felt that the imperial struggle was so disgusting!
"But Liang Qi is the one destined by heaven! Moreover, if that fifth prince really becomes emperor, what will become of Yang'er? Emperors have always been ruthless. Choosing him will not end well for Yang'er!"
"Bai Ze!"
Hu Ji's voice turned cold. Even though he didn't have much affection for Liang Cheng because the fox cub he had raised with great difficulty was snatched away! But this didn't mean that Hu Ji wouldn't bless them, because Tu Shanyang's happiness was his greatest wish!
"Yang'er is not an impulsive person. She chose Liangcheng, so this person must be someone worthy of her trust!"
Hu Ji turned around, "Bai Ze! I hope you don't do anything wrong or lose yourself because of this!"
This is all Hu Ji has to say. He has said everything he should and shouldn’t say. It now depends on whether Bai Ze really chooses to fall into the abyss as predicted!
