Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 515: An Abandoned Pawn

”There are many fools in this world. The day before yesterday, I sent someone to find several of my subordinates, telling them there was an important post available in Goldenvale Prefecture City, and instructed them to come find me at the Tranquil Heart Pavilion dressed in their court attire.”

The songstresses sitting at their seats cleaned up the corpses and wiped the floor clean without the slightest fear. The two remaining officials, weeping bitterly, scrambled out of the Tranquil Heart Pavilion.

Prince Feiheng had already taken a handkerchief from a serving girl and wiped dry the blood that had splattered on his face, as if he had done nothing at all just moments before.

”These four were the most foolish. I asked them what they would do after taking office, and they certainly spoke with blooming lotuses, with every sentence about ʼfor the nation and for the people,ʼ yet they couldnʼt speak of a single reform.

These two dead ones were even better. I told them to be the Commandants in charge of supervising cultivators; one of them wanted to unify all cultivation methods in Goldenvale Prefecture, and the other wanted to slaughter all who disobeyed until none remained.”

”Ever since I became a Prince and began to contend for the position of Crown Prince, I have always seemed to run into these kinds of fools who want to gain an advantage from me.”

As he spoke.

A songstress of the Tranquil Heart Pavilion had already presented Prince Feiheng with tea.

The man took a light sip, then looked towards the little woman before him, with her delicately furrowed brows and the yellow robe draping her gentle frame.

”Li Kuanghua,” he said, ”you people from the Li family havenʼt dared to appear in the world for a hundred years, yet now that you have, you come to see me. I only hope you are not the same as those two fools; otherwise, it will be truly difficult for this Tranquil Heart Pavilion to quiet my heart.”

”I want a piece of intelligence.”

Li Kuanghua spoke calmly.

...

”How did the people of the Li family get an audience with Prince Feiheng?”

Night had already fallen, and Lai Teng, waiting outside the Tranquil Heart Pavilion, grew increasingly anxious.

The people from the Azure Cloud region had already been inside for the better part of a day.

He knew a fair amount about Prince Feiheng; it was rumored that the manʼs actions were always extremely methodical. In recent years, after gaining the support of the Imperial Preceptor, his itinerary was practically known to every household.

At nightfall, he would go fishing until the early morning hours; during the day, he would come to the Tranquil Heart Pavilion to drink wine and eat meat; and at high noon, he would head to the palace.

Prince Feiheng had rarely altered his schedule in a hundred years.

Lai Teng clearly remembered that the last time had been when Feihengʼs younger sister was forced by the Empress into a political marriage.

And now, Prince Feiheng was actually lingering for the sake of the Li family?!!

From within the Tranquil Heart Pavilion, even the sound of loud laughter could be heard.

”What on earth could they be discussing?”

Lai Teng wrung his hands. After many years, the Li family had appeared in the world once more, and it was for no other reason than to kill Tian Xing!

The memories from over a hundred years ago, of being visited by the Li family time and time again, of being extorted time and time again, once more welled up in his heart.

What made him grit his teeth the most was that this Li Kuanghua, a body cultivator who had once been like a madwoman, had not, as he had imagined she would, charged at him with arrogant madness.

He had even made preparations to conceal his cultivation base and then reveal his Divinity Transformation spiritual power to suppress and kill Li Kuanghua. But now, everything had caught him completely off guard.

At this moment.

Lin Wudao, on Qilin Mountain, was also seeing through Lai Tengʼs perspective, his brow furrowed with worry.

More than a hundred years had passed. He had heard of the fierce valor of the Li family of the past; when they faced an enemy, they would mostly charge in to kill, and even when they used schemes, they were mostly methods of direct slaughter. But now, every step the Li family took was one he could not see through.

Not long ago, he had just negotiated with Li Dalong, and yet now, the people of the Li family were not on guard against Min Youguo, but had instead sought out Prince Feiheng!

”The grand gift Li Dalong spoke of...”

Lin Wudao murmured, but then he instantly thought of something and cried out in great horror.

”Feiheng! The Li family!!!”

Message after message came from the various avatars, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge in an instant. His face became ferocious and enraged!

...

The Imperial Capital was truly a city that never sleeps; bright lights illuminated the streets.

Li Kuanghua and the group from Azure Cloud walked brazenly down the main street, and every one of them had a look of joy in their eyes.

Lai Teng was still following the group from Azure Cloud. If they dared to step outside the Imperial Capital, what would face them would be Lai Tengʼs most frenzied pursuit and slaughter!

However, the Lai Teng of this moment was standing in place as if he had been petrified.

He saw in Li Kuanghuaʼs hand... a compass!

”How can this be? Prince Feiheng, how could he have given this thing to the Li family?!!”

He believed that right now, all the other avatars felt the same as he did!

This time, Lai Teng finally felt terror!

After learning about consuming the Human Emperorʼs Blood, and after understanding that a pair of eyes was staring at him, he had escaped the Grand Tutor.

He had left one cage only to walk into another, and that was the Imperial Preceptor, Min Youguo! If he wanted to gain the trust of Imperial Preceptor Min Youguo, then he had to present something that could convince the Imperial Preceptor, and this compass...

Could, through the divine soul of his main body, lock onto the auras of all his reincarnated bodies, and know the general location of all his avatars!

Only in this way could Min Youguo trust him, and only in this way could he receive Min Youguoʼs protection within the lands of the Azure Dynasty, and prevent Grand Tutor Lin Jiu from making a move against him.

If not for this, Min Youguo would never have allowed him to grow to his current state.

Now, the people of the Li family had taken his fate plate and had also taken his very lifeline.

His numerous avatars scattered throughout the Azure Dynasty would have nowhere left to hide!

This also signified... that he had become an abandoned pawn to Prince Feiheng!

”How is this possible? In Prince Feihengʼs eyes, could it be that my value is already less than that of the Li family?”

Lai Teng did not dare to delay for even a moment. His face pale, he flew out of the Imperial Capital.

He knew that even though he had become a Divinity Transformation expert, having been abandoned by Min Youguo and Prince Feiheng, he was no longer safe within this Imperial Capital, even with his abilities!

From this moment on, they would have to begin life as fugitives.

”It was clearly the Li family who had always been opposing Min Youguo, so how could they possibly have won over Prince Feiheng and Min Youguo?!!”
