Chapter 1032 Father’s Kindness and Brother’s Kindness
Chen Qingle struggled to carry the second prince's luxurious sedan chair. Along the way, the laughter of other princes continued, like a sharp knife pouring into his ears and stabbing his heart continuously.
He told Chanbi that he was used to being fooled by other princes, but since it was fooling and bullying, how could he get used to it. Originally, Chen Qingle really wanted to accept all this slowly, but Shu Han's words before made Chen Qingle's heart begin to waver again.
"I have a guess, maybe it will work..."
"What if other princes are willing to be swallowed by you?"
"Will you not achieve great things in that case?"
If Shu Han's words did not touch him, it would be a lie.
Of course, Chen Qingle was moved, but after a moment of being moved, the inertia of not wanting to work hard to change the status quo occupied his heart again.
He instinctively thought, why should he risk his life like that, even if his status is lower and he is bullied, at least he can live longer than most princes.
Chen Qingle looked around at the other princes who made fun of him. He knew that most of them would die before him, and their death would be extremely unwilling and painful.
Whenever he was bullied, he would always feel comforted by thinking this way.
In addition to his cowardice of not wanting to change the status quo, there was another point, that is, Chen Qingle did not trust Shu Han very much.
He had heard about Shu Han's strength. Although Shu Han did not say it, he also heard about Shu Han's battle with the second prince in the royal hunting ground.
He did not know the specific situation, but he got a shocking news, that is, Shu Han forced out the second prince's Xuanlian spell.
He knew exactly how powerful the second prince was.
Among all the princes, the second prince was the strongest now. If not, his father would not have assigned the royal hunting ground to the second prince as a reward.
Being able to force out the second prince's Xuanlian spell meant that if there was no Xuanlian spell, Shu Han could indeed kill the second prince. Being able to kill the second prince, Shu Han's true strength was probably no less than Chanbi in the early stage of refining emptiness.
Moreover, Shu Han's Great Dream Traceless Technique really refreshed him.
With such strength, he, Shu Han, was truly an invincible guard in the Lower Xuanlian Secret Realm.
He recognized Shu Han's powerful strength, but he did not trust Shu Han.
He always felt that this person was hiding something of his own, and wanted to assist him in ascending to the throne not just to teleport back to his hometown. He was even more afraid that after Shu Han showed his strength in the Xuanlian Secret Realm, he would be recruited by other princes and abandoned.
In the Lower Xuanlian Secret Realm, without Shu Han's protection, he would die.
After comprehensive consideration, he still did not dare to participate in the Xuanlian Trial easily.
If you don't expect, you won't be disappointed.
At least this way he can live safely for nearly a hundred years longer.
Just as Chen Qingle was thinking, the second prince glanced at him and said lightly: "I say, Old Forty-Nine, when the incident happened in my royal hunting ground that day, you seemed to be in the hunting ground too."
This question made Chen Qingle's heart tighten.
"In reply to my second brother, I am indeed here, but I am unable to help you hunt down the murderer. Please punish me."
The second prince snorted coldly: "Hmph, with your little strength, you still want to hunt down the murderer? You are lucky that you didn't meet anyone. But I heard that your maid openly beat up my people in the royal hunting ground. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
Chen Qingle hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Chanbi has a reckless personality. I have already taught her a lesson, and nothing happened. Please forgive me and don't care."
"Don't care?"
The second prince smiled and said: "It's okay not to care. Your maid is a remnant of the Qingluo clan and has cultivated to the Lianxu stage. Not bad. Let her sleep with me for one night, and I won't care about this matter."
Hearing this, Chen Qingle suddenly froze in mid-air.
At this time, the princes were almost at the Xuanlian Palace. The second prince knocked on the handrail and said, "Don't you want to? I say, Old Forty-Nine, let her enter my palace and be favored as soon as possible, it will be better for her future! Otherwise, after I ascend the throne, I will still play with her, but I won't be so happy."
When they arrived in front of the Xuanlian Palace, Chen Qingle suddenly threw the second prince and his sedan chair out. Without the support of the sedan chair, both of them fell to the ground with a bang. Chen Qingle was originally covered in dust, but it didn't matter, but the second prince's bright and beautiful appearance was broken.
The second prince was angry and was about to curse, but he heard Chen Qingle grinning and roaring, "You are delusional! With you, you will never pass all the trials and become the final emperor! Absolutely not, you will die earlier than me, earlier!"
The second prince and other princes were shocked to hear Chen Qingle, who had always been submissive, suddenly burst into a roar.
The other princes came over one after another.
"Okay! Our old forty-nine finally said something right, second brother, don't be too confident too early. Father's throne may not be yours."
"Yes! Second brother, such bold words can be privately fantasized, there is no need to say it out loud, it will make people laugh, or it will be the old forty-nine. Old forty-nine, don't worry, with your fifth brother around, he can't sit on the throne. But..."
"When your seventeenth brother sits on the throne, the seventeenth brother also wants to taste the taste of your Lianxu maid."
"Hahaha, me too, I heard that she has a very fierce temper!"
...
Chen Qingle's face was pale. He originally thought that the other princes were finally willing to speak for him once, but he didn't expect to face more biting bullying.
The second prince looked at Chen Qingle's pale expression, and his anger disappeared.
"Forget it, why bother with people like you, just be the main dish of the feast."
At this time, a deafening voice came from the Xuanlian Heavenly Palace.
"No matter how long you quarrel, come in!"
At this time, the gate of Xuanlian Palace suddenly opened, and a pair of invisible hands stretched out from the gate, pulling the nine princes into Xuanlian Palace in an instant.
A handsome middle-aged man sat on the dragon chair of Xuanlian Palace. His eyes were like those of an eagle, scanning the nine princes below. The princes immediately knelt down.
"Your son kowtows to your father!"
Emperor Xuanlian scanned his son's face. When his eyes fell on Chen Qingle, he saw his pale face and cowardly expression, and his brows could not help but frown.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became oppressive. Chen Qingle trembled all over and lowered his head tightly. He knew that his father was staring at him.
Then Emperor Xuanlian said in a deep voice: "Today I summoned you here only to announce one thing. I received instructions from the upper clan, which indicated that the time of the Xuanlian Trial should be shortened, and my Xuanlian clan should give birth to a new emperor as soon as possible."
"Therefore, I announce that the fourth round of Xuanlian Trial will begin in one year. And the interval between each round will be adjusted from fifty years to twenty years. You all have good talents, especially the second and seventeenth, go back and prepare well."
"Your son obeys your order!"
"Forty-nine!"
Hearing the words of Emperor Xuanlian, Chen Qingle shuddered unconsciously and kowtowed heavily: "Your son is here!"
"Look at your incompetent and cowardly appearance. I still remember that your mother was a strong-willed woman. How could she give birth to a son like you? You just bumped into your second brother at the door of the hall, right? You will be punished to kneel in front of your mother's tomb for three years."
"Your son... obeys your order!"
