Chapter 123 - Palace Conflicts and Bones of the Bais
A deathly stillness pervaded the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall.
Lu Zhou’s words shocked everyone.
‘How could this craven, glib, and eccentric man be Great Yan’s Third Prince?’
‘Nothing about him resembles a person from the palace!’
‘Is master getting senile?’
The disciples had different thoughts running through their minds. Naturally, none of them dared to verbalize their thoughts.
Jiang Aijian was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he said, “Old senior, you jest! How can I be the Third Prince?”
“Thank you, old senior…”
“Jiang Aijian, in your opinion, is it possible that the bone is the bone of the Bai people?” Lu Zhou asked calmly.
“Bai… people…” Jiang Aijian shook his head. “There was a rumor in the palace that the bones of the Bais can help one to overcome the limits of one’s life. If that were the case, what’s the point of fishing up the bones in the river over the past ten years?”
Nobody had succeeded in discovering the alleged treasure after salvaging the bones of the Bai people from the riverbed for a decade. Hence, the objective of this operation might have shifted to something else besides the bones of the Bai sometime during the ten years.
“Old senior, I’ve said what I have to say. I’ll be honest and admit I do have a vested interest in this. It’s fine if you don’t grant me the nice sword,” Jiang Aijian said.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I told you I despise petty men who don’t keep their words. Since I’ve promised you a sword, I’ll definitely fulfill my promise.”
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhou raised his hand and waved it around slowly. A black item appeared and floated toward Jiang Aijian.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the black item. They could not help but wonder what treasure the Pavilion Master of Evil Sky Pavilion had given Jiang Aijian.
