Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Choosing the Tenth Prince in Chapter 4 is definitely not a good choice.
Xiao Yun, whose cultivation level was similar to hers, actually managed to escape?
Even if he concealed his cultivation level, it couldn't be much higher; at most, it would be the early stage of the sixth realm, the Purple Mansion Realm.

This is already an overestimation of him.

After all, even the top ten geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking are only at this level.

It should be noted that the guards sent to capture Xiao Yun were powerful experts at the seventh level of the Enlightenment Realm.

In this situation, how did Xiao Yun manage to escape?

"That guy did get away."

An elderly man with white hair spoke calmly in front of Qin Linglong.

The old man looked extremely old, but his eyes were bright and piercing.

This man is Qin Linglong's grandfather, Qin Rentu!

Upon hearing that Xiao Yun, a remnant of the Demon Sect, had escaped, Qin Rentu remained calm.

"Grandpa, why don't you seem worried at all?"

Qin Linglong frowned and said.

If Xiao Yun escaped, wouldn't that mean he's going to assassinate Li Qiye?

To be honest, Qin Linglong had a pretty good impression of Xiao Yun before.

But after learning Xiao Yun's identity, and realizing that he had ulterior motives in approaching her, she felt a surge of disgust.

On the other hand, the tenth prince, Li Qiye, although his personality was a bit flawed, was not hateful at all!
"Linglong, if you're so impatient, how will you take over Grandpa's position in the future!"

"Let me tell you, even if a mountain collapses in front of you, you must remain calm and composed no matter what happens..."

Hearing this, Qin Linglong calmed down.

Grandpa's reaction suggests he already has a plan in mind.

“Grandpa is right. But that Xiao Yun is a remnant of the Demon Sect. Back then, it was Grandpa who led the troops to destroy the Demon Sect. I’m sure that Xiao Yun will seek revenge on us.”

"Also, he intends to assassinate the Tenth Prince, and Linglong is very worried..."

"Linglong, what did you say?!"

Qin Rentu was taken aback and interrupted Qin Linglong.

"Grandpa, what I mean is, Xiao Yun will definitely seek revenge on us. We have to be careful!"

"No, the next sentence you said."

"He intended to assassinate the Tenth Prince, I am very..."

Qin Rentu stood up abruptly, his entire body radiating a murderous aura, as if he were about to go berserk at any moment.

"Assassinate the Tenth Prince?"

"How did you know?"

"Also, is this information reliable?"

"What? Grandpa, I thought you had investigated thoroughly..."

Qin Linglong was dumbfounded when she saw her grandfather about to explode.

Who said they wouldn't flinch even if a mountain collapsed in front of them?

Who said you should stay calm no matter what happens?
"Forget it, it's not important."

Qin Rentu waved his hand, his expression grave, and said, "Even if it's just a rumor, we can't let our guard down."

"Somebody come!"

"My subordinate is here!"

A figure walked in.

"Pass on my order: immediately mobilize a thousand Golden Feather Guards to protect the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion. Not even a fly should be allowed to get in."

"As ordered!"

After saying that, the man disappeared from the room.

Qin Rentu paced back and forth in the room.

Suddenly turning to look at Qin Linglong, he said:
"Linglong, Grandpa heard that you went to return the gift to that brat Li Qiye yesterday?"

Qin Linglong was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Grandpa, did you send someone to follow me?"

"Do we still need to send someone to follow you?"

Qin Rentu shook his head and said, "Yesterday you stood at the gate of the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion for half a day. Anyone with eyes could see you."

"But speaking of which, haven't you always disliked that Li Qiye?"

"Why did you suddenly give him a gift?" Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong's pretty face turned red, and she stormed out in a huff.

"Don't send anyone to follow me again, or I'll tell Grandma!"

"Sigh, this tenth prince is not a good choice!"

A sigh escaped, as if the speaker were muttering to themselves.

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong's body stiffened abruptly, but she quickly pretended not to have heard.

Of course, that's not a good choice!

Her future partner will undoubtedly be a prodigy with extraordinary talent.

As for Li Qiye, he didn't act like a prodigy at all.

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Qin Linglong couldn't help but recall the Li Qiye she had seen yesterday.

Actually, if he were more serious and less frivolous, he would have quite a refined air.

Qinglian Academy.

In a dimly lit room, a boy with a pale face had a face that was originally honest but now looked extremely ferocious.

He hurriedly took out several pills, stuffed them directly into his mouth, and then sat cross-legged to practice his internal energy to heal his injuries.

After a long while, the boy opened his eyes, and a trace of color returned to his pale face.

"How did I get exposed?"

In the dimly lit room, Xiao Yun's expression shifted constantly.

Even now, he still doesn't understand how his identity was exposed.

And it happened without any warning; everything seemed perfectly normal.

It wasn't until the Golden Feather Guard, who was stationed by the Grand General, arrived that he was severely injured.

If it weren't for his exceptional skills and the aid of a protective magic treasure, he wouldn't have been able to withstand a punch from that Enlightenment Realm expert.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape.

"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place."

"Those Golden Feather Guards never imagined that I would not escape from Qinglian Academy."

Xiao Yun sneered inwardly.

By this time, he had already changed his appearance and concealed his presence.

No one could possibly know that he was Xiao Yun.

"According to my master, there are only one in a million people in this world who can open their mind and spirit aperture, and there are even very few people who know about this aperture."

"Therefore, no one can see through my disguise."

"The previous exposure was probably due to accidentally revealing his true identity."

At this moment, when Xiao Yun thought of the ten masters who raised him and carefully taught him his skills, the hatred in his heart surged up like a tide.

No matter what his ten masters had done in the past, or how sinful they were, they were all the closest people to him.

Besides, they've already retired from their criminal activities, so why go after them completely?
After a while, Xiao Yun finally calmed down.

Next, the most important thing is what to do. Obviously, he can't stay at Qinglian Academy for long; sooner or later they will find out about him. He must think of a way out.

"The Sixth Prince is a man of great talent and ambition, yet he is not supported by the Qin family..."

Xiao Yun's thoughts gradually became clearer.

The reason for choosing the Sixth Prince in the first place was for this reason. I just don't know if the Sixth Prince still has the courage to continue associating with him now.

But it's worth a try!
If the Sixth Prince doesn't have the guts, then Xiao Yun has misjudged him.

If the other party has it, then things will be much easier from here on out.

"What a pity."

"The connection with Qin Linglong has now been severed."

Xiao Yun's mind was filled with the image of Qin Linglong's stunningly beautiful face, and his heart burned with desire.

What about the descendants of your enemy?

In Xiao Yun's view, this hatred should not affect the next generation.

Qin Linglong is a very sensible and kind girl with a very pure heart.

Xiao Yun felt that she would definitely understand him.
