Chapter 86: Battle Force (1/2)

Lu Yin’s heart froze as he heard Duque’s words, “Me?”

Duque Yushan nodded, “That’s right, you’re fourth in line to become the Great Yu Emperor.”

Lu Yin blinked, “Don’t pull my leg, Royal Brother I’m just an idle lord, not even from the Yushan Family. How could I qualify?”

The Second Prince smiled, “I’m not spouting nonsense. Did you know what His Imperial Majesty promised The Undying Zishan before the two of them stormed the Innerverse?” He paused for a moment, “Should we not perish this time, you and I will each own half the Empire. The Great Yu Empire will belong to both the Yushans and the Zishans.”

Lu Yin squinted and gazed into Duque’s eyes before smiling and picking up some vegetables, “Tastes pretty good.”

Duque averted his gaze, “Then eat as much as you want. The people beneath me aren’t sensible; I apologize on their behalf.”

Lu Yin knew he was speaking about Sicar, but did not mind, “Royal Brother, do you have any news on when Astral-10 will arrive?”

Duque shook his head, “I don’t, there’s only one person of the Empire who has access to such news. Fifth Sister, your fiancee.”

Lu Yin rolled his eyes; Wendy Yushan, his fiancee? She wouldn’t even bother looking at him. To her, the Great Yu Empire wasn’t important.

His thoughts were brought to a halt by a thump of a cosmic ring on the table. Duque stood up, “This is my welcome gift to you, Brother, I hope you don’t hate it. I’ll take my leave.”

Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed at the sight; he knew that the Second Prince wouldn’t hold back with his gift. Duque smiled and was about to leave, but suddenly paused, “There’s a rumor that the Zishan Family has a hidden treasure, Brother, there should be no harm in trying to find it. Perhaps it might be an unexpected harvest.”

The Prince’s figure vanished,and Lu Yin’s eyes flickered as he picked the ring up. Hidden treasure? What did that mean? Find it himself? The Undying Yushan hadn’t mentioned a single word about this hidden treasure; the man clearly didn’t want anyone getting involved in this pie. If he went to look for it himself, wouldn’t that be courting death? Did Duque really think he was so greedy that he was digging this kind of hole? These royals loved to create problems out of nothing.

“Bronsen,” Lu Yin called.

“Your Majesty,” a shadow stepped out of the void.

“Have you heard of the hidden treasure of the Zishan Family?”

“Yes, but it was several centuries ago. No one mentioned it in recent times.”
