Imperial Capital, Prince Yu's residence.
It was late at night and the entire residence was brightly lit.
In the large front hall.
The Crown Prince was dressed in brocade robes and sat with a cup of tea in his hand.
A man sat on his left.
He was dressed in plain clothes and had his hair tied up in a high bun.
There was a reserved aura around him, like a deep ancient well, unfathomable.
This man was not an outsider.
He was the eldest son of the Emperor of Japan, Prince Musashi.
Hehe.
The Crown Prince took a sip of the tea and smiled.
He looked at Musashi and said, "Although Japan and my dynasty are separated by the sea, there is still a distance of thousands of miles between us …"
"Your Highness Musashi has traveled thousands of miles to come here. Are you here for fun or for something else?"
The Crown Prince's face was full of smiles as he spoke.
However, his eyes were constantly sizing up Musashi as if he was trying to figure out something.
One would not visit a temple without a reason.
The eldest son of the Emperor of Japan suddenly came here. It was probably not just for a visit.
"Hehe, Your Highness Crown Prince, you must be joking …"
Musashi smiled when he heard the Crown Prince's words. "I came across the sea to look for Your Highness …"
"Oh?
Looking for me? "
The Crown Prince's interest was piqued.
He put down the teacup in his hand and said playfully, "May I know why Your Highness is looking for me?"
Musashi was not in a hurry to answer the Crown Prince's question.
He glanced at the servants around him and then looked at the Crown Prince with a smile.
The Crown Prince immediately understood when he saw this.
He waved his sleeve and said, "All of you, leave!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As soon as this was said, the surrounding servants responded and retreated one after another.
Only the Crown Prince and Musashi were left in the large hall.
"Your Highness Musashi …"
After dismissing the servants, the Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and continued, "There are no outsiders now …"
"You can speak now, right?"
At this moment, he wanted to know what Wu Chang wanted to do by coming here.
"Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward …"
Hearing this, Musashi looked up at the crown prince in front of him and said, "His Highness should have already returned to the heavens, right?"
Musashi's words were direct and did not beat around the bush.
He directly asked the most important question.
Weng!
Hearing this, the Crown Prince's eyes widened.
He had never imagined that Musashi would actually know the news of his father's death!
At this moment, he suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Musashi in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"I received you with good intentions. Why is Your Highness speaking so rudely and cursing my father's death?!"
"Are you here to pick a fight with me?"
As he spoke, his body moved.
Immediately, a wave of cold Yin Qi rushed towards Musashi like a raging tide.
Seeing this inner breath that was like a raging tide, Musashi smiled slightly.
His body moved, and a gust of strong wind surged, instantly dispersing the cold inner breath.
What?!
Seeing this, the Crown Prince's heart trembled.
After consuming the Black Tortoise Blood Essence, his strength had increased tremendously.
However, his Internal Breath was actually suppressed by Musashi's aura.
"Great Master …"
Just as the Crown Prince was secretly shocked, Musashi's voice drifted over. "The Crown Prince is indeed intelligent. You have reached the Great Grandmaster Realm at such a young age …"
"You are considered an expert in the Central Plains martial arts world …"
"What are you trying to do?!"
Before Musashi could finish speaking, the Crown Prince said, "First, you cursed my father's death. Now, you are provoking me …"
"Do you really think there is no one in my Prince Yu's residence?!"
As he spoke, his voice rose a few octaves, and he seemed incomparably furious.
"No, no, no …"
Musashi shook his head when he heard the Crown Prince's words. "Your Highness, there are some things you can't hide …"
"For example, the news of Prince Yu's death!"
With that, Musashi smiled and continued, "Also, I am here to talk to you with full sincerity …"
"The teacup next to your hand is the best proof!"
Teacup?!
Hearing Musashi's strange words, the Crown Prince's head moved.
He turned his gaze and looked at the teacup.
Crack!
At this moment, the teacup cracked.
The tea spilled all over the table.
Not only that, but the crack was extremely smooth. It was obviously cut by an extremely sharp force!
When?!
The Crown Prince couldn't help but panic when he saw this scene.
With his Great Grandmaster realm, he actually didn't know when the teacup was cut open.
"Do you see it?"
Just as he was shocked, Musashi's voice rang out, "If I had the intention to become enemies with Your Highness …"
"Your Highness would have been beheaded by now …"
"What do you want?"
The Crown Prince said when he heard Musashi's words.
At this moment, his body was trembling slightly.
In front of Musashi's strength, he felt so insignificant and worthless!
"Cooperation!"
Musashi said.
"Cooperation?!"
The Crown Prince was also surprised by Musashi's words.
"That's right!"
Musashi nodded and said, "I believe Your Highness also knows that Prince Yu has always been in close contact with our Dongying Sect …"
"He even used his status as a prince to give them a lot of support, allowing them to develop greatly!"
"Now that Prince Yu is dead, their previous contact can be considered severed …"
"As Prince Yu's son, Your Highness can inherit his position after Prince Yu's death …"
"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to abandon the Dongying Sect and cooperate with the Dongying royal family!"
！！！
The Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect Musashi to come personally for such a matter.
Hmph!
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly.
Then, he said, "You said it yourself. My father, Wang Su, is in close contact with the Dongying Sect …"
"Why don't I continue to work with the Dongying Sect and instead work with you?"
"It's very simple!"
Musashi smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you know how I found out about Prince Yu's death?"
！！！
The Crown Prince's heart skipped a beat.
Since just now, he had been thinking about how the news of his father's death had been leaked.
Now that he heard Musashi mention it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked at Musashi and said, "Is it the Dongying Sect?"
"Smart!"
Hearing the Crown Prince's words, a trace of a smile appeared on Musashi's face.
He took out a scroll and handed it to the Crown Prince. He said, "This is the letter that the Dongying Sect sent to Dongying. I intercepted it …"
"The news of Prince Yu's death is written clearly on it!"
Hearing this, the Crown Prince took the scroll and opened it. His eyes suddenly widened.
Because there was a sentence written on the scroll:
Prince Yu is dead, and only his son is left. Take action quickly and take down this person. Don't lose him!
Seeing this, the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
The meaning of this sentence was very clear!
