After Leng Yan returned to the Fifth Prince's residence, she went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, when Leng Yan woke up, she heard the news that the Third Prince had died, assassinated in the house.
When Leng Yan heard the news, she lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. In her sleeve, where no one could see, her fingers were stroking a blue, star-like bead.
The voice of the Third Prince rang in Leng Yan's mind. There was anger in his voice, but when he thought that his life was in someone else's hands, he had to be careful with his tone.
He said, "I have done as you said. What do you want me to do next?" Leng Yan answered in his mind, "Now quietly gather the forces you can use, stay put and wait for my orders." Then he cut off the communication without waiting for Xiao Yu'an to say anything.
On the other side, Xiao Yu'an kicked the table beside him in frustration after the call was disconnected. He was no longer in the Third Prince's residence, but in a courtyard. He then called the servants outside and told them what Leng Yan had asked him to do.
Then he asked the attendant beside him, "Have you invited the person you asked to come?" The attendant said respectfully, "Yes, but the person will not arrive for two days." Xiao Yu'an rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Go down."
The attendant immediately withdrew. After the attendant left, Xiao Yu'an's eyes immediately became fierce. When the poison in his body was cured, he would definitely grind the person who poisoned him into ashes.
But judging from the man's appearance, he wanted the position of Demon Lord. Once he killed that man, the position of Demon Lord would be his. Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his face.
On the other side, Leng Yan and Xiao Qingchuan were riding in a carriage towards the residence of the Sixth Prince Xiao Qi'an. Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and Leng Yan fell forward without warning. Xiao Qingchuan, who was standing by, immediately reached out to help Leng Yan.
He held Leng Yan's arm to straighten her up, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he felt something in Leng Yan's sleeve. He took advantage of Leng Yan's inattention and felt through her sleeve that it was a wooden sculpture.
In an instant, countless guesses flashed through Xiao Qingchuan's mind, and he hid them all in the end. Looking at Leng Yan, who was still indifferent, Xiao Qingchuan felt a mixture of emotions. He didn't expect that his seventh brother, who could only carve wood carvings, had been deceiving them all along, and they were even fooled.
What he didn't expect was that his seventh brother was cooperating with Leng Yan. At this time, he could no longer see clearly what Leng Yan was going to do.
But he could also vaguely guess that Leng Yan wanted all the remaining people to compete for the position of Demon Lord on the same day to cause chaos in the entire Demon Realm, but he could not imagine the purpose and reason of Leng Yan doing this.
Leng Yan was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Qingchuan's expression remained calm. She hadn't expected Xiao Qingchuan to be so tolerant of her. She had even collaborated with others behind his back, yet Xiao Qingchuan pretended to be oblivious and let her do what she wanted. It seemed he had a trump card that would guarantee his rise to Demon Lord.
Thinking of this, Leng Yan became more and more interested in what Xiao Qingchuan was going to do next.
At this time, Xiao Qingchuan was already planning how to kill Xiao Ce'an quietly.
The two of them didn't speak along the way, each of them thinking about their own things. Soon they arrived at the Sixth Prince's residence. It was noon, and the door of the Sixth Prince's residence was wide open, but the entire residence was very quiet.
Xiao Qingchuan led Leng Yan straight into the mansion. The servants who passed by bowed and left. It was obvious that they had seen Xiao Qingchuan come to see Xiao Qi'an many times. However, when they saw Leng Yan, their eyes were stunned for a moment, and then they regained their composure.
Leng Yan ignored the strange looks from the crowd and followed Xiao Qingchuan inside.
The two of them soon arrived at the reception room, which was empty at the moment. Xiao Qingchuan and Leng Yan sat down and waited for a while before seeing a man who looked like Xiao Qingchuan approaching.
Unlike Xiao Qingchuan, that man had a cheerful and lively temperament, with black hair tied into a ponytail with a hairband. Looking at Xiao Qian'an, Leng Yan sighed in her heart that it seemed a bit cruel to let such a cheerful and lively person step on the corpses of his relatives to ascend to the throne.
When Xiao Qi'an came in and saw the two of them, he was stunned at first, as if he hadn't expected that his fifth brother would bring other people with him. But after just a moment, he reacted and greeted Xiao Qingchuan with a smile.
Then he looked at Leng Yan with a puzzled look in his eyes and asked, "Fifth brother, who is this?" Xiao Qingchuan looked at him and said, "This is a guest in my house, Yun Qing."
Then he looked at Leng Yan and introduced her: "Yun Qing, this is the Demon Realm's Sixth Prince Xiao Qi'an whom I told you about before."
Xiao Qi'an and Leng Yan greeted each other and sat down. Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Qingchuan exchanged a few pleasantries before returning to the topic of Leng Yan.
Xiao Qian'an looked at Leng Yan and said, "Fifth brother, how did you meet Miss Yun Qing at that time?" Xiao Qingchuan felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the situation at that time and didn't say anything, but Leng Yan on the side heard that Xiao Qian'an meant that she had bad intentions.
Leng Yan has always advocated reciprocity. Since Xiao Qian'an doesn't want her to have an easy life, then she can't let him have an easy life either.
So Leng Yan said calmly, "It was purely by chance that I was able to save the Fifth Prince. However, I never thought that the Sixth Prince really looked exactly like him as the Fifth Prince said."
As soon as these words came out, Leng Yan saw the smile on Xiao Qi'an's face froze, but it only took a moment for it to return to normal. He smiled brightly as usual and said with pride in his tone, "Of course, Fifth Brother and I are twins, so we look the same."
Leng Yan's expression remained calm after hearing this. It seemed that she had heard Xiao Qian'an say this many times, and now he even disguised himself so well.
Leng Yan continued, "However, there are still differences between the two princes. The fifth prince is more calm, while the sixth prince is more cheerful." As soon as these words came out, Leng Yan found that Xiao Qian'an's smile became more sincere.
