The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 57 Reactions from All Parties

Even if they had confidence in Lu Xuan, that was a royal secret realm!

And since he went in with the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, who knows what traps, mechanisms, or even assassinations might be inside?

Su Qinghuan appeared calm, but her hands were tightly clasped together, revealing the turmoil within her.

"Please calm down, Elder Shen. His Highness is a lucky person and will surely return safely."

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Then, the mansion gate was pushed open, and Lu Xuan's familiar figure walked in under the moonlight.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing that Lu Xuan had returned unharmed, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to greet him.

"Your Highness! You're finally back!"

Shen Qiansan looked Lu Xuan up and down and saw that he was unharmed and that his aura was even more profound and restrained, and even had a faint sense of pressure that made him feel uneasy.

I was startled.

"Your Highness, what is your cultivation level?"

Lu Xuan smiled faintly.

"When faced with a formidable enemy, I lost control and had no choice but to enter the Soul Platform prematurely."

Both of them gasped simultaneously.

Can't control it?

Enter the Soul Platform Realm ahead of schedule.

Is this human talk?

And how long has it been?

Your Highness has advanced from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Soul Platform Realm. That hurdle that many people struggle to overcome in their entire lives, Your Highness can break through it as easily as drinking water.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations!"

Su Qinghuan's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, and her awe of Lu Xuan deepened.

"I wonder what happened on Your Highness's trip?"

Shen Qiansan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xuan walked to the main seat and sat down. He took the hot tea that Lin Wan'er handed him, took a sip, and then spoke softly.

"My father opened the secret realm left by our royal ancestors and sent me and those two into it for trials."

"As for the result..."

"Only I, the king, have passed all the trials and obtained the true inheritance."

Although the words were spoken lightly, both Shen Qiansan and Su Qinghuan were astute enough to understand the underlying danger.

Before the two could even process this news, Lu Xuan dropped another bombshell.

"Furthermore, Father has already made a decision."

"At the morning court tomorrow, an imperial edict will be issued to announce this to the world."

"Depose Lu Heng and install me... as the Crown Prince of Great Yan!"

"boom!"

These words were like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding directly in the main hall.

Shen Qiansan's body trembled violently, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a crash, shattering into pieces.

But he was completely oblivious, staring intently at Lu Xuan with wide eyes, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"Tai...Prince?"

"Your Highness...is what you're saying true?"

Lu Xuan nodded, his expression calm.

A ruler's word is his bond.

"Thump!"

Shen Qiansan could no longer control his emotions, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

This old man, who had lived in anonymity for many years and weathered the ups and downs of the business world, and had long since developed a heart of stone, was now weeping like a child.

"Master! Miss!"

Did you see that?

"The young master... he's finally made something of himself!"

"The Crown Prince! He's the heir apparent, the future emperor!"

"The Xiao family's great grudge... may finally be avenged."

While crying, Shen Qiansan kowtowed repeatedly to the void.

Although Su Qinghuan was not as out of sorts as Shen Qiansan, she was equally shocked, but also filled with deep joy.

Although she had no grudges against the Lin family, now that she was on Lu Xuan's side, the higher Lu Xuan's status was, the brighter her future would be.

Whether it's the inheritance or the status of the crown prince, it means that their power and strength will greatly increase!

Su Qinghuan really made the right bet this time.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on your ascension to the position of Crown Prince!"

Su Qinghuan bowed gracefully, her voice tinged with excitement.

Lu Xuan reached out to help Shen Qiansan up, then waved to Su Qinghuan.

"Alright, get up, everyone."

"This is just the beginning."

"Although my father wants to make me the crown prince, it doesn't mean... we can rest easy."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"My father told me that the old scoundrel Lin Ruofu has long been unwilling to submit and wants to usurp the throne."

"But Father's health is deteriorating, and he can no longer control him."

"That's why they were in such a hurry to make me the crown prince, so that I could grow up quickly and take over the throne of the Great Yan."

At this point, Lu Xuan looked at Shen Qiansan, his tone icy cold.

"My father has promised to fully cooperate with our actions."

"Three months!"

"I intend to completely eradicate the Lin family within the three months before I go to the Ziyang Sect!"

"Make that old scoundrel Lin Ruofu be buried with my grandfather and mother!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiansan suddenly raised his head.

"Three months?"

"Very well! This old servant will arrange it immediately!"

"This time, even if it costs the entire Shen family's resources, we will ensure the Lin family's utter destruction!"

Su Qinghuan looked at the two men, master and servant, who were exuding murderous intent, and was secretly alarmed.

How could the powerful Prime Minister's mansion be destroyed in just three months?

In the past, she would have thought Lu Xuan was just daydreaming.

But now, thinking of Lu Xuan's unfathomable methods, she felt that it might not be impossible.

"It seems that the situation in the capital is truly about to change."

……

The Eastern Palace.

Lu Heng kicked over the table in front of him, and the expensive porcelain shattered on the floor.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he paced back and forth in the hall like a mad beast, his chest heaving violently.

"Why? Why him again?!"

"I am the Crown Prince! I am the eldest son! What right does this good-for-nothing have to compete with me?!"

He simply couldn't accept that all his hard work had only resulted in a consolation prize.

Lu Xuan, whom he regarded as an ant, easily obtained a truly supreme opportunity.

This huge gap drove him almost insane.

The palace maids and eunuchs standing nearby were so frightened that they trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger!"

"Get out! All of you, get out of here!"

Lu Heng roared and drove everyone out.

He slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.

"Father... how cruel you are!"

"Since you're so biased, then... don't blame your son for being unfilial!"

……

Meanwhile, at the Sixth Prince's residence.

Lu Ming sat in his study, the folding fan in his hand already crushed into powder.

His face was equally horribly gloomy.

"True inheritance..."

"We've all been tricked."

"Third brother, oh third brother, you really have some tricks up your sleeve."

"If it remains silent, it will be for nothing; but when it does, it will be a sensation."

"That feigned weakness to deceive the enemy was truly masterful!"

He recalled his smug and foolish self-satisfied appearance in the secret realm, and his ridiculous boasting in front of his father, and felt a burning pain on his face.

"but……"

A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

"The game isn't over yet."

"So what if you inherit the legacy?"

"As long as you haven't grown up yet, as long as you haven't taken that position..."

"The outcome remains to be seen!"

……

Prime Minister's House.

The lights in Lin Ruofu's study remained on all night.

"Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened!"

A trusted aide rushed in, looking flustered.
