Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Yujing City, King Wu’s Palace.

When the court announced the list of finalists, Li Ling was the first to know that Chen Mo had advanced directly to the finals. He immediately asked someone to find the third prince Dongfang Zhi and told him what he was thinking.

"Your Highness the Third Prince, if you can get rid of Chen Mo for me, my Wuwang Mansion will do its utmost to help you fight for the position of crown prince in the future." Li Ling's voice was shrill and his face was gloomy.

On the way here, Dongfang Zhi had actually guessed Li Ling's intention of looking for him, and the result was exactly as he expected.

Dongfang Zhi actually didn't want to become enemies with Shisan and Chen Mo so early. In his heart, the eldest prince and the second prince, headed by the queen, were the biggest threat to him.

Among all the princes and princesses of Daxuan now, in terms of power, the eldest prince and the second prince are the most powerful, followed by him and Thirteen.

Only if he and Thirteen's camp unite can they counter the power of the two.

If Chen Mo is eliminated at this time, Thirteen's camp will undoubtedly be pushed to the opposite side, and thus be madly targeted by the other side. If things go wrong, it will result in a lose-lose situation, which will benefit the eldest prince and the second prince.

On the wedding night of the thirteenth night, Dongfang Zhi seemed to have won Li Ling over, but in fact, the two were not in harmony with each other.

He could imagine that if he did not agree to Li Ling, the latter would most likely surrender to the eldest prince or the second prince, and these two would definitely be happy to serve Li Ling.

Seeing Dongfang Zhi's embarrassment, Li Ling said with dissatisfaction: "Your Highness the Third Prince is unwilling? But you said that you could help me get revenge, get rid of Chen Mo, and get Nishang. Your Highness the Third Prince, don't you keep your word?"

Listening to Li Ling's reproach, Dongfang Zhi frowned and said immediately: "It's not that I don't want to, but now is not the best time."

Hearing the evasiveness in Dongfang Zhi's words, Li Ling said, "This is the best opportunity. Life and death in the Star Arena is up to you. No one can blame anyone else. If we miss this opportunity, no one knows how long we have to wait. I don't want to wait any longer. In tomorrow's final, I want him to die."

Li Ling felt that with Chen Mo's strength, he would definitely not be able to get one of the six places in the end. In this way, Chen Mo would have to hide again and be under the protection of the masters of the Chiyuan tribe. Once he missed this opportunity, there would be no other chance to attack him in a short time.

The longer the time drags on, the more variables there will be, and Chen Mo's cultivation talent makes him wary, so he can't wait any longer.

Seeing that Dongfang Zhi didn't say anything, Li Ling said coldly: "If His Royal Highness the Third Prince can't solve it, I will go find someone who can."

If it weren't for the fact that Dongfang Zhi always stood on his side during the fighting arena, Li Ling wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to him.

Hearing this, Dongfang Zhi's face darkened. Li Ling's words already had a hint of threat.

Go find someone who can solve the problem. Doesn't that mean finding the eldest prince and the second prince?

Dongfang Zhi was already furious. After all, he was still a prince. No matter how respected King Wu was, he was still a subject. As the son of a subject, you dared to threaten him, a prince. You deserve death.

But thinking that he had already bet everything on Li Ling during the previous fight, Dongfang Zhi could only suppress his anger. Thinking that he still needed him and it was not the time to turn hostile, he forced a smile and said:

"I have already promised the prince, so I will keep my word. I am just worried that this final will be organized by my father himself, and no one can interfere. Besides, Chen Mo is still in the third realm. It is very difficult to break through this realm, and the people I arranged may not be able to touch him."

It’s okay to arrange someone to eliminate Chen Mo, but during the competition, the two of them have to match up. How can they eliminate him if they can’t match up?

Li Ling seemed to have guessed that Dongfang Zhi would use this as an excuse. He had already made preparations and took out a piece of jade from the storage magic weapon. On the jade, there was a faint glow, as if there were words engraved on it: "The names on it are the ones I arranged. For the rest, I'll have to trouble Your Highness to persuade them to help. There will always be someone among these people who can match Chen Mo."

As long as enough people are bribed, there will definitely be someone who can fight against Chen Mo.

However, with his connections, the number of people he can bribe is limited, and for the others, he will need Dongfang Zhi's help.

Dongfang Zhi took it, took a look at it, his expression suddenly changed. These people whose names were not highlighted were more or less related to his mother's family. If he couldn't convince them with perfunctory words, Li Ling would definitely not believe it.

Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Zhi smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

……

royal palace. Royal study room.

Dongfang Hao had his hands behind his back. He was alone in the room, and it was empty and silent. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked.

“What was the public’s reaction after the finalists were announced?”

"Your Majesty is wise. The public is now pointing their fingers at the Prince Consort. Not many people are paying attention to Qi Yue and Zhou Qing."

A young eunuch dressed in a green robe, hunched over, and looking no more than twenty years old, emerged from the darkness, his steps silent and silent.

"I'm sorry, Prince Consort."

Dongfang Hao sighed.

After all, he had announced to the world that this open selection required monks who were under the age of 50.

The two guards he temporarily arranged were over the age limit, which broke the rules he set. Once the two revealed their identities, it would be difficult to stop the gossip, so he also had to pay attention to public opinion.

To this end, he published the list and ranked Chen Mo's name first, and asked people to spread the news that Chen Mo had entered the finals directly through the backdoor, attracting everyone's attention so that less attention would be paid to "them".

"If the prince consort knew, he would understand Your Majesty." The young eunuch whispered.

"I hope so."

Dongfang Hao turned around, his shadow cast in front of the young eunuch under the light. His voice was calm, yet powerful without anger: "Tell anyone who knows them to shut their mouths tomorrow and stop causing trouble for me."

"promise."

night.

Prince Consort's Mansion.

"This sixth chakra is also complete."

On the master bedroom bed in the back house, Chen Mo opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and then called up the system panel.

Looking at the strength column, Chen Mo's memory suddenly returned to the scene when he left Concubine Lin's bedroom.

When he said that he planned to give it his all, Concubine Lin took out a pill that could increase the chances of breaking through the Spirit Wheel Realm by 30%, hoping that Chen Mo could improve his strength before tomorrow's final.

After Chen Mo returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, he swallowed the pill immediately. Although the pill did not allow him to break through, it made his sixth spirit wheel completely solid. (End of this chapter)
