Plotting for the Crown Prince's Position

Chapter 90 Plotting for the Crown Prince's Position

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's fist paused, stopping just centimeters from Tang San's face.

The force of the punch made Tang San's hair dance wildly and his robes flutter loudly.

A look of shock flashed across Dai Mubai's eyes, and he blurted out, "What? You say you have a way to make me the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"

Becoming the crown prince means he will have the resources of the entire Star Luo Empire to support him, and his soul power will increase at a much faster rate than it does now.

When he faces Zhu Zhuqing again, he will never lose!

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's fist trembled slightly, and a burning light flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly calmed down, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Tang San, what makes you think you can help me become the crown prince? Our relationship isn't that good. Besides, we almost got into a fight not long ago because of that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang. Don't you find it ridiculous that you're coming to me with this?"

Dai Mubai's tone was full of sarcasm, and he even took the opportunity to put Yu Xiaogang down a few times: "That piece of trash Yu Xiaogang can't even break through to level 30, I really don't understand why you wanted to find his teacher? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Surprisingly, Tang San did not get angry because of Dai Mubai's mockery.

Instead, he nodded calmly, his tone indifferent: "You're right, Yu Xiaogang is indeed a good-for-nothing. I admit, I was deceived by him back then."

Dai Mubai was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that Tang San, who was usually so respectful and deferential to Yu Xiaogang, would say such a thing.

He squinted, scrutinizing Tang San, trying to glean something from his expression.

Tang San didn't avoid Dai Mubai's gaze and continued, "It's just for my reputation. I have to pretend to respect him. After all, he's my teacher, and at least on the surface, I can't let anyone see through my act."

Having said that, Tang San's tone carried a hint of helplessness, as if he was really revealing his true feelings.

He paused, then continued, "Our feud started because of Yu Xiaogang. Now that I've seen through his true colors, there's no longer any hatred between us."

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes.

He's not stupid; he understands the principle of going with the flow.

Since Tang San has taken the initiative to show goodwill, there is no need for him to continue to pester him.

After all, Tang San's talent and potential are undeniable, and offending a future powerhouse would not be a wise move.

"Since you've put it that way, let's call it even."

Although Dai Mubai's tone still carried a hint of disdain, his attitude had softened considerably.

Tang San smiled slightly and nodded: "Alright, then we're even."

Dai Mubai slumped to the ground, his hands hanging limply at his sides, his eyes filled with self-mockery: "Even if there's no longer any grudge between us, so what? I'm just a cripple now, I can't even beat Zhu Zhuqing, what use am I?"

Tang San looked at Dai Mubai's dejected appearance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He slowly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Dai Mubai: "Take a look at this first."

Dai Mubai took the letter with a puzzled look and began to read it.

The content of the letter was the news that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect invited Tang San to attend a banquet.

It was specifically mentioned that the Crown Prince Davis of the Star Luo Empire would also be attending.

Upon seeing Davis's name, a complex expression flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes.

That was his older brother, and the goal he had always wanted to surpass.

However, he has long since lost the right to compete with Davis.

"Davis," Dai Mubai murmured, his fist clenching unconsciously until his knuckles turned white.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by dejection.

"So what if I know where he is? I'm no match for him now."

Seeing this, Tang San's lips curled into a faint smile, his tone brimming with confidence: "What if I told you I could help you get rid of Davis at this banquet?"

Dai Mubai looked up abruptly, a flash of shock in his eyes: "What did you say?"

Tang San said calmly, "You will appear with me at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I will find an opportunity to kill Davis at the banquet. At that time, you will be the strongest prince of the Star Luo Empire and will naturally become the crown prince."

"At that time, even if your father is unwilling, he will have no choice but to help you take the throne. After all, a Soul Master like Davis is no match for a Soul Venerable like Dai Mubai, who has close ties with the three upper sects."

A fiery light flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the meaning behind Tang San's words.

The Star Luo Empire has always valued strength above all else, and fratricide is a common occurrence.

If Davis dies, and Dai Mubai can get involved with the three upper sects, then the position of crown prince will naturally belong to him.

Thinking of this, his heart started beating a little faster.

However, he quickly calmed down and looked sharply at Tang San.

"Why are you helping me? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You can't possibly help me become the crown prince for no reason."

Tang San didn't avoid Dai Mubai's gaze and said bluntly, "I need a powerful helper. My enemy is very strong, and it will be difficult for me to deal with him alone."

"An enemy?" Dai Mubai frowned, then seemed to realize something. "You mean, Lan Minghua?"

After all, he knew that Tang San harbored hatred towards Lan Minghua.

Tang San nodded, a cold glint in his eyes: "That's right, it was him. The person who fought Lan Minghua at Shrek Academy that night was my father. He almost died at Lan Minghua's hands."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes.

He just didn't expect that the person who fought Lan Minghua that night was actually Tang San's father.

"I see." Dai Mubai murmured softly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

The latest novel is first published here!

He didn't want to be inferior to others, especially someone as scheming as Tang San.

However, Tang San's next words completely shattered his hesitation.

"Dai Mubai, think about Zhu Zhuqing." Tang San's voice was deep and cold, like a sharp blade piercing Dai Mubai's heart.

"If you can't become the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, you'll never catch up to her in this lifetime. This isn't me exaggerating; it's the truth. With a powerful figure like Lan Minghua guiding her, her strength will only grow stronger. And you, if you continue to be so decadent, will only fall far behind her."

When Dai Mubai heard the three words Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes instantly burned with rage.

His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking from the force.

Being trampled underfoot by a woman was so humiliating that he almost lost his mind.

"Enough!" Dai Mubai roared, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. "I promise you! As long as it makes me stronger and lets me surpass Zhu Zhuqing, I'm willing to do anything!"

Upon seeing this, Tang San's lips curled into a faint smile.

However, he did not lower his guard because of this. Instead, he took out a black pill from his pocket and handed it to Dai Mubai.

"This is Hundred-Day Powder, my unique poison," Tang San said calmly. "After taking it, there will be no signs of poisoning for a hundred days. But after a hundred days, if you don't take the antidote, you will die suddenly. The antidote I have can only delay the next onset of the poison. If you trust me, then take it."

Dai Mubai stared intently at the black pill, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He naturally understood that once he took this poison, his life and death would be completely in Tang San's hands.

Seeing Dai Mubai hesitate, Tang San continued, "Dai Mubai, you're a smart man. You should understand that only after you take this poison can I fully trust you. Otherwise, how will I know if you'll betray me at a crucial moment?"

Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.

However, when he thought of Zhu Zhuqing's indifferent gaze, the anger in his heart reignited.

He gritted his teeth, grabbed the black pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Tang San, I hope you can keep your promise." Dai Mubai's voice was low and cold, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "Otherwise, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Tang San smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Rest assured, I will never break my promise. Your becoming the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire will be an even greater asset to me."

Dai Mubai didn't say anything more, he just stared coldly at Tang San.

He knew that from this moment on, his fate was inextricably linked with Tang San's.

Tang San turned and left, a sinister smile appearing on his face as he turned away from Dai Mubai.

He thought to himself, "Dai Mubai, you think you can make me trust you by taking poison? Hmph, your life is already in my hands. Even if I make you a dog, you'll have to be one. However, you still have value to me. I'll take the power of the Star Luo Empire into my own hands sooner or later."

Inside the room, Dai Mubai sat alone on the floor, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

He knew he had embarked on a path of no return.

However, in order to become stronger and surpass Zhu Zhuqing, he had no other choice.

The banquet two days later will be a turning point in his life.

Little did they know, Lan Minghua overheard their entire conversation.

"Interesting. It seems Tang San has quite the ambition."
