”Born to be enemies? I don't get it!”
Zhou Bao was a bit irritated that he was arranged a destined enemy. It was the first time that he had heard of the name, how could Yu Nantian become his destined enemy?
”You will know when you meet him!” Speaking of Yu Nantian, Li VII forced a smile, ”He is from Yu family and the Yu families call themselves the offsprings of Yu Emperor. Most of its clansmen practice Way of the Emperor and they are all muddled now. Now the leader of the disciples from Divine Wind Palace in the killing squad is Yu Nantian, but he will not only control those from Divine Wind Palace, he will also try to control the 17 of you!”
”This hunt-down was initiated by Divine Wind Palace. It's not a big deal to let him lead the team!”
”It's easy for you to say it now, but will you listen to him when the time comes?”
”I will listen to what I should listen, and ignore those that I should ignore. If he asks me to die, will I do that? No!”
”Exactly. You are not willing to be a subordinate, so you won't get along with him. Let me first warn you that Yu Nantian has a fairy weapon. What I worry most is that his fairy weapon may be used to handle you instead of Ye Qingtian. You are nominally from Immortal Palace, but you're actually are not that close to Immortal Palace, so Immortal Palace will not become an enemy of Divine Wind Palace for you. You actually are the least advantageous in these 17 people. If Yu Nantian wants to establish his authority, you are the perfect target for him.”
”So troublesome!” Zhou Bao shook his head, ”Are you sure he will peck at me first?”
”As long as you get caught by him on the wrong side, he will definitely peck at you. Those who practice Way of the Emperor are all insane!”
”Hmm, Way of the Emperor is one of the 3,000 Great Ways, but it is not the reason to drive people crazy. If he had to peck at me, I wouldn't mind pecking at him as well!”
”He has a fairy weapon!”
”So what? With his Level-Nine strength, he needs to practice more to activate the power of his fairy weapon!”
”Even if he is not strong enough to activate that power, he is strong enough to handle you!” Seeing how careless and casual Zhou Bao was, Li VII said, ”Try to think about what happened to Living Buddha Ba Siba. He was the Individual Immortal of Mysterious Realm, but he couldn't even fight back when facing that fairy weapon. Your combat capability may be higher than Ba Siba, but once you are confronted with a fairy weapon, you will not be able to fight back!”
”I will be careful.” Realizing Li VII was serious about it, Zhou Bao did not know what to say. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, ”The incident in Western Capital. Was that done by you and Crown Prince?”
Li VII did not expect Zhou Bao to ask such a question, and he was in a daze for a moment before saying, ”Why do you think so?”
”That trap was simple but fatal. Crown Prince was the one who would gain the most benefits from the death of the Emperor. If I wasn't there, Crown Prince would have already been crowned. Right?” Zhou Bao looked at Li VII with a faint smile on his face and said, ”I know you have something to do with Crown Prince. Such a fatal trap could hardly be set by Crown Prince alone, so I guess it was you who helped Crown Prince to do it.”
”Yes, we did it. In fact, we even counted you in our plan. But we underestimated you. We never expected that you would be able to save Yan Yuntian.” Speaking of that, he sighed and said, ”and we never could have foreseen such a coincidence!”
”It meant that Yan Yuntian shouldn't die because of that.” Zhou Bao laughed, ”What happened to Elder Chen? I heard that he had been Prime Minister for dozens of years. Although he has retired now, he still participates in politics before the Emperor and enjoys a huge power. Why did he get involved into this?”
”Why are you so interested in the affairs of the imperial court?” Li VII did not answer the question directly but looked at Zhou Bao with interest instead.
”I'm just curious. Older fellows like Elder Chen should be the most loyal towards the Emperor. Why did he stir up such a huge event? Was he tired of living?”
