This incident made the Second Elder very angry.
At the time, he was so excited that he wanted to take Rong as his precious apprentice, and he was afraid that someone else would snatch her away. Now that he thought about it, who would want to take in such a loser? Even if they had to pay him, how could he refuse her?
The Great Elder's snow-white brows furrowed slightly as he stroked his clean, shiny beard. "This matter is rather strange."
"It's not just weird, it's simply weird!" the second elder said angrily.
"Was there anyone else in the Qingling Pool at that time?" The Great Elder was worthy of being the Great Elder. His words hit the nail on the head and pointed directly to the core.
But the Second Elder immediately retorted, "How is that possible? Big Brother! You know that you personally keep the key to the Qingling Pool. Without that key, who can enter the Qingling Pool?"
Fearing that the First Elder wouldn't believe him, the Second Elder foolishly added, "I checked everything at the time, and there was no one else!"
The elder became increasingly confused and pondered for a moment, "Could it be that there's something wrong with Rong's health?"
"Impossible! This girl is just a waste! A waste without any spiritual energy at all!" The second elder snorted disdainfully.
A trace of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder. He slowly walked down the stone steps and strolled leisurely to the side of the Third Princess. He squatted down condescendingly and personally checked the Third Princess's pulse.
After checking for a while, he stood up.
"Brother, am I right? This girl is completely useless!"
The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat motionless in a rosewood armchair. He then interrupted leisurely, "Second Uncle, Rong girl may not be useless."
The Second Elder glanced at Emperor Ming with displeasure and sneered, "These rubbish should have been fed to the monsters when they were born. Raising them is a waste of food and air."
Emperor Ming's deep gaze returned from the unconscious Third Princess, and he said to the Second Elder with a faint smile, "Second Uncle, don't be angry. Trash has its uses. Mo'er mentioned her going to the marriage alliance earlier, and now that she's proven to be truly trash, I believe she'll go willingly."
"How can a useless person assassinate the emperor of Eastern Jin Dynasty?" The second elder sneered.
On the rooftop, Su Luo's lips curled up into a sneer. Bei Mo's plan was brilliant, actually sending the Third Princess, now powerless, to assassinate Emperor Jing. Thinking of this foolish emperor who had always prevented her from being with Nangong Liuyun, Su Luo snorted inwardly.
But the Emperor of Beimo was also a fool, no different from Su Zian. His daughter was no good, but a stunningly talented young girl.
Su Luo sneered in her heart. When she restored the princess's elements, she would let those who looked down on her open their eyes and see clearly. They would definitely be embarrassed by then.
In the hall, Emperor Ming and the second elder started a speech about destroying the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Emperor Ming laughed heartily, "Second Uncle, it's precisely because Rong has no spiritual power that the Eastern Jin Emperor won't be on guard against her, which makes it easier for her to strike."
"Now that you put it that way, it does make some sense." The Second Elder's anger subsided a little. "But if this girl refuses to go again, don't blame me for being rude then."
Although the Second Elder's strength has been cultivated to the commander level, his mind is too narrow. Moreover, he does not even regard those without spiritual power as human beings.
