Chapter 299: Changed Souls
“That’s easy!”
The Emperor laughed heartily.
When he turned to Lu Sheng, his eyes were filled with curiosity.
Prime Minister Fu said that this girl was his third son’s disciple.
He asked the State Minister about this again this morning and the latter nodded.
He did not know where his third son had found such a capable disciple.
Before meeting Lu Sheng, he thought that he could matchmake her with his third son if possible.
However, after seeing how intimate this girl was with Chu Sihan, he dismissed this thought.
Although his son was important, Chu Sihan was his savior. Moreover, they were in love. He could not break them up.
Thankfully, Lu Sheng did not know what he was thinking. Otherwise, she would have vomited blood on the spot.
“Little girl, what about you? What do you want?”
The Emperor retracted his probing gaze and asked with a smile.
Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Sihan. Seeing his slight nod, she took a step forward and bowed. “Your Majesty is thoughtful. As Hero Ye said, subduing demons and getting rid of evil is our duty as cultivators.”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He wanted her to speak so that she could receive the reward, not refuse.
This girl actually didn’t take this opportunity to earn a good sum of money?
Satisfied, the Emperor hurried someone to bring a box in.
“I heard from the State Minister that you came from the countryside and your family is not considered rich. Accept this reward.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Lu Sheng received it with a smile. During this period, she even looked at the State Minister gratefully.
Ye Luo had no concept of money. He only wanted good food and drinks.
His Senior Brother had a lot of money, but he did not spend it. Every time he went to Pure Snow Observatory, he would get thousands of taels from him.
The State Minister was also a generous person and was not stingy with his Junior Brother. He would give him whatever he wanted.
“In that case, this lady’s cultivation is even stronger than the State Minister?”
The Crown Prince interrupted and asked with a smile.
The State Minister looked at him indifferently. “Miss Lu’s cultivation level is naturally not inferior to mine.”
He was ashamed to say that his cultivation level was much higher than Lu Sheng’s, but he didn’t have as many weapons as her.
He could only blame his master for not having the ability to give him a magical weapon to protect himself.
“Miss, you have such a high cultivation level at such a young age. It’s indeed admirable!”
The Crown Prince pretended to sigh, but his heart kept sinking.
Chu Sihan was one of the Eldest Prince’s men. He had also seen the intimate scene between Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan just now.
In that case, the Eldest Prince had gained more assistance and his throne would be in imminent danger.
Ever since the Eldest Prince entered, he had been sitting beside the Emperor with a smile and did not speak.
The State Minister observed the Crown Prince secretly for a while and his eyelids drooped.
Last night, Chi Ming had gone for him. He could not understand who in the capital wanted his life.
After some thought, he suddenly thought of Xiahou Tang, who had changed drastically in recent years.
For the past few years, Xiahou Tang had a strange gaze every time he saw him.
Now that he thought about it carefully, ever since he submitted to the Crown Prince, this person was probably not the original ‘Xiahou Tang’ anymore.
Others might not have thought of ‘possession’, but as a cultivator, ‘possession’ was too obvious.
Just like the Third Prince now, all the officials in the court felt that he had become more mature and sensible. Even the Emperor felt so.
Only the cultivators knew that the soul under the skin had long changed.
However, he did not know if it was a human or a ghost in Xiahou Tang’s body.
Why did he want his life?
He had never offended anyone since he left the mountain.
