Chapter 405 The Young Singer's Journey 74
When Xiao Yu saw Xiao Lingchen, a moment of disorientation flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Lingchen and Xiao Ruofeng looked so alike that the moment he walked in, it was as if Xiao Ruofeng had been resurrected and was standing in front of him again.
"Stand there and don't move."
Xiao Yu raised his hand to support his head, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"?" Xiao Lingchen was full of question marks and actually stopped subconsciously.
But he quickly came to his senses. This person had gone to great lengths to find him, only to be left standing there doing nothing?
And what did that look mean? Who was he looking at through him?
Xiao Yu, the King of the Thousand Miles of Seas, glared at Xiao Yu, let out a cold snort, and then strode over to the chair next to him without any hesitation, and sat down with a swagger.
His thuggish manners and lack of the proper etiquette expected of a member of the royal family made Xiao Yu frown.
Seeing Xiao Yu frown, Xiao Lingchen became even more nonchalant and nonchalant, and said provocatively, "What? You really can't stand my unrestrained and unconventional temperament?"
Xiao Yu's face was contorted with worry; he had no interest in reminiscing about old friends. After a brief and concise discussion with Xiao Lingchen, he impatiently ordered him to leave.
This appearance made Xiao Lingchen glare at him several times, and he became even more certain that Xiao Yu disliked him. He couldn't help but miss his good brother Xiao Chuhe.
“Xiao Chuhe, oh Xiao Chuhe,” he murmured to himself, “if you don’t show up soon, that position will truly be out of your reach.”
As he spoke, Xiao Lingchen took out a bright yellow scroll from his pocket.
Wang Pichuan, Xiao Zhanjiang, and Xue Duanyun surrounded them, asking, "What's this? Did the Crimson King give it to you?"
Xiao Lingchen stared at the scroll in his hand for a long time before slowly exhaling and saying in a deep voice, "This is an answer, and also a choice."
……
Xiao Yu stood on the hillside, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, his body seemingly coated with a faint golden light.
"You just gave the Dragon Seal Scroll to the young Prince Langya so easily. Isn't that a bit too risky?" Wuxin stood beside him and said meaningfully.
"If he were to reveal the contents of the scroll to the public, he could immediately become the legitimate ruler of the world. With the support of Ye Xiaoying and the three divine generals of Beili, he could probably change the world in Beili in no time."
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, a smile that carried a hint of confidence and composure: "Like his father, he has little interest in the throne. Now that he has seen the Dragon Seal Scroll, this idea will only become more resolute."
If he hadn't read the contents of the Dragon Seal Scroll, Xiao Lingchen might still have had a lingering impulse to cause a ruckus, clear his father's name, and help his good brother ascend the throne.
However, now that he has seen it, what he probably wants to do most is destroy the Dragon Seal Scroll to ensure that its contents are no longer known to outsiders, so as to prevent chaos in the world.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Wuxin's face showed a hint of curiosity: "How can you be so sure? That's the throne, something countless people dream of. Throughout history, how many people have truly been able to resist that temptation?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, his gaze firm, and said resolutely, "Perhaps others would, but Xiao Lingchen would never."
If Xiao Lingchen truly harbored ambitions to become emperor, he should have openly appeared back then under the guise of avenging his father.
By then, with the prestige of the King of Langya among the people of Beili, coupled with his 800,000 Langya troops, the change of dynasty in Beili would probably have been a foregone conclusion long ago.
However, for the past four years, Xiao Lingchen has made no unusual moves. He has simply led the former subordinates of the Prince of Langya to flee to the sea, where they rule the surrounding waters, refusing to set foot on land.
This already speaks volumes.
In fact, Xiao Yu never thought he was particularly smart; he always considered himself to be the hardworking type.
The reason he was able to succeed in multiple worlds was twofold: first, he relied on his telekinetic abilities, and second, he was good at judging people.
He was able to see right through Xiao Ruofeng and had him completely under his control.
Now, having met Xiao Lingchen, he has also quickly and accurately seen through this person's true nature.
He was certain that Xiao Lingchen had absolutely no intention of becoming emperor, much less collude with Ye Xiaoying to commit treason.
That is why he handed the Dragon Seal Scroll to Xiao Lingchen, further solidifying Xiao Lingchen's determination not to become emperor.
Otherwise, why would he have so easily handed over the Dragon Seal Scroll to Xiao Lingchen?
……
Just two days later, Nan Jue's troops had arrived at the border one after another, and the situation between the two countries became increasingly tense, with a major war imminent.
However, those who wish to repel external threats must first secure internal stability.
Therefore, Xiao Yu has been keeping a close eye on Xiao Lingchen and Ye Xiaoying's movements for the past two days.
He had no doubt that Xiao Lingchen could easily resolve Ye Xiaoying's rebellion, but he never expected things to go so smoothly.
Xiao Lingchen didn't move a single soldier; he entered Ye Xiaoying's tent only accompanied by the three divine generals.
His eloquent words infuriated Ye Xiaoying to the point of near death.
In the end, the words, "My father committed suicide in the execution ground to protect the stability of the country," completely shattered Ye Xiaoying's fighting spirit.
For four years, Ye Xiaoying endured humiliation and hardship before Emperor Mingde, meticulously planning and sparing no effort, waiting only for the war between the North and South to be quelled so that he could raise an army to target Tianqi and seek justice for Xiao Ruofeng.
Then wipe out the Xiao clan in Tianqi City, support Xiao Lingchen to ascend the throne as emperor, and restore the world to its rightful place.
Just when things seemed to be at the last minute, Xiao Lingchen surprisingly confessed to him that Xiao Ruofeng had actually chosen to die on his own, and that he himself did not want to be emperor.
This news came like a bolt from the blue, instantly making Ye Xiaoying realize how absurd and ridiculous his years of planning had been.
Admittedly, he could still choose to take a desperate gamble and continue his rebellion.
But after success, who should sit on the throne?
Neither Xiao Ruofeng nor Xiao Lingchen had any interest in the throne, so why would he have such ambition?
Years of persistence and hatred have now vanished like bubbles, and the anger in my chest has dissipated as well.
His disheartened appearance made Xiao Yu feel a little sorry for him.
Ye Xiaoying did everything in his power to help Xiao Ruofeng seize the throne, hoping to gain merit for supporting the emperor and receive glory in return.
However, just as the dawn of victory was about to break, Xiao Ruofeng destroyed the Dragon Seal Scroll and handed over the throne he had just obtained to his elder brother.
This move not only shattered Ye Xiaoying's hopes of helping the emperor rise to power, but also, due to Xiao Ruofeng's decision, made him innocently fall into Emperor Mingde's suspicion.
After Xiao Ruofeng's death, Ye Xiaoying endured humiliation and hardship for four years, painstakingly consolidating his power in the court in order to avenge Xiao Ruofeng and support his only son, Xiao Lingchen, to ascend the throne.
