Chapter 1814: Pavilion Master of Yama Pavilion
Translator: Lonelytree
Yuwen Xuhong’s expression turned extremely ugly when he heard his mocking words. However, he still suppressed his anger and said,” Isn’t this the reason why I want to make a deal with you, Pavilion Master?”
At this point, a sharp light flashed in his eyes as he continued,” Didn’t the Crown Prince rely on the Defender General and Princess Gu to become the Crown Prince?”
The pavilion master under the mask seemed to be interested when he heard this.” Oh, Your Highness, what do you mean?”
Yuwen Xuhong smiled and asked back,” Pavilion Master, you are a smart person. You should know what I mean. Why do you ask when you already know the answer?”
When the pavilion master heard this, he did not want to play Tai Chi with him. His voice turned cold again, and he asked directly,” Your Highness, if you have something to say, say it. I’m all ears!”
“Good!” Yuwen Xuhong shouted loudly and did not beat around the bush.” I want you to help me get rid of the Defender General Jiang Zhennan, and the Princess of Guguo, Lin Yuelan. As long as we get rid of the two of them, it would be the same as getting rid of the Crown Prince’s right-hand man. With such a Crown Prince, if we push him forward, he might fall into a bottomless abyss!”
“So, the next candidate for the crown prince is none other than you, right?” The pavilion master continued.
Yuwen Xuhong didn’t admit or deny it, but it was obvious that it was as he said.
However, the pavilion master continued with a cold smile,” Your Royal Highness, don’t you think too highly of Yama Pavilion? You want me, a small martial arts force, to deal with a general with hundreds of thousands of troops and a princess of Guguo whose wealth can destroy dozens of my branches? Do you think I’m a fool? I even heard that the Great General and the Princess of Guguo are both very skilled in martial arts!”
Did he really think they were fools?
To assassinate Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan?
Hmph, if they could be assassinated so easily, there wouldn’t be Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan now.
After all, the power and wealth in their hands made the world envious.
However, they had the ability to defend themselves. No matter how envious or jealous people were, they would not be able to get anything from the couple.
When Yuwen Xuhong heard this, he shook his head and said,” Pavilion Master, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t ask you to assassinate them, but…” He looked around and said softly,” Pull them down.”
The Pavilion Master’s eyes under the mask narrowed slightly. A sharp light flashed, and he asked with interest again,” Oh, what do you mean?”
However, Yuwen Xuhong just smiled and didn’t answer. He asked in a dubious manner,” Pavilion Master, are you agreeing to cooperate with me?”
The pavilion master was speechless.
He looked into the distance and tapped his hand on the table as if he was deep in thought again.
A moment later, he nodded and replied,” Alright!”
Hearing his reply, Yuwen Xuhong was so excited that he almost jumped up.
However, he quickly suppressed his excitement and became suspicious. He sized up the Pavilion Master and asked seriously,” Pavilion Master, did I hear wrongly? Are you agreeing to cooperate with me?” How could he agree in the blink of an eye? Therefore, he was very suspicious.
“Why? Is His Royal Highness the eldest grandprince suspecting me?” The pavilion master said sternly,” Since that’s the case, why don’t we not cooperate?”
Yuwen Xuhong’s expression stiffened for a moment before he put on a smile and said,” Pavilion Master, why do you have to do this? I’m just asking the Pavilion Master, and I don’t mean anything by it.”
The pavilion master snorted coldly and said,” In that case, I agree to this transaction. I just don’t know what His Highness wants me and Yama Pavilion to do. How should we cooperate?”
Yuwen Xuhong smiled.” There’s no rush. Pavilion Master, please consider it carefully! I have something to do, so I’ll leave first!”
With that, he stood up and left.
After he left, a person suddenly appeared behind the pavilion master. He looked at the disappearing figure at the door and said angrily,” Master, what does Yuwen Xuhong mean by this? We clearly said that we would cooperate with him. Why is he leaving us in suspense now? Is he playing with you, Master?”
The real pavilion master snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, he’s wary of us!”
“Ah?” The person behind him was puzzled.” Didn’t he say that he wanted to cooperate? Why is he wary of us again?”
The pavilion master looked into the distance and did not speak. After a moment, he said,” He will definitely come to find me again tomorrow at the latest. Hmph, I want to see what tricks he wants to play.”
With that, he was about to leave.
Looking at his master’s departing back, he immediately shouted,” Master, where are you going?”
“Go where I should go!” With that, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan didn’t know that someone was already trying to deal with them.
At this moment, before they got married, they had a, uh, parent meeting.
After hearing about Yuan Shutong’s experience, Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang expressed their sympathy for her. At the same time, they admired the man beside her for not abandoning her. Therefore, they did not dwell on the matter of her daughter marrying two husbands.
At this moment, Yuan Shutong came with a gift.
Since it was the first time they met, she naturally had to give them a gift.
Just like that, the parents of the two families met.
Yuan Shutong said guiltily,” In-law, ever since Nan ‘er was born, I’ve never fulfilled my duties as a mother. I’ve caused him to suffer so much since he was young. Now, he still recognizes me as his mother and wants me to attend their wedding banquet. I… I’m really ashamed.”
“In-law, why do you have to say that?” Seeing Yuan Shutong’s reddened eyes, Old Master Lin comforted her,” You didn’t leave Nan ‘Er behind on purpose.”
