Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

He then bowed to Qu Feng and turned to leave.

To be honest, Qu Feng had never seen what these princes looked like before. Of the remaining eight princes, he had only seen the eldest prince and the second prince.

The remaining six had never even been seen in portraits.

But today's main task is not for the prince, but to expose at the gathering that Rain has been controlling the eldest prince.

With more and more tasks to perform, Qu Feng felt that he no longer felt any pressure no matter what he did.

This was clearly a very important matter, but Qu Feng felt very calm and not nervous at all.

Not knowing whether this was good or bad, with a wave of his hand, he took all the puppets into the mark.

He then took out his rocking chair from the ring, placed it at the doorway, and lay down to rock it leisurely.

Although the mansion is small, the scenery is not bad, but it is far inferior to the Cloud Clan's territory.

Two hours and a half later, Qu Feng looked at the clock in the room: "Hmm, it's already 11:55. It's time to set off."

For such an important occasion, one should naturally enter through the main gate and not simply climb over the wall.

Otherwise, it would seem very impolite.

Qu Feng straightened his clothes, looked in the mirror, and didn't find anything wrong.

"Perfect, let's go."

They quickly arrived at the entrance of the mansion and looked towards Daming Prefecture, where they found a group of people already waiting at the gate.

They were dressed in very fine silks, some even sewn with gold thread.

Needless to say, they are obviously princes.

Chiri and Hiruzen also followed the princes.

There were no extra movements, he just gave Qu Feng a look.

Qu Feng walked forward slowly, and the princes were somewhat puzzled as to who he was.

However, when Qu Feng turned around, they discovered the mark embroidered on his back.

Good heavens, these are people from Konoha! It seems that even the eldest brother has asked Konoha for help. Then they all looked at the guards beside them.

But he didn't say anything.

However, some things are already clear to everyone.

A few minutes later, a maidservant came out of the Daming Mansion and opened the gates wide.

He then bowed to the princes and Torifu and said, "Please, Your Highnesses and Torifu, the special envoy of Konoha Village, enter the mansion to participate in the gathering."

After saying that, he stepped aside and made a 'please' gesture.

The princes looked at each other in bewilderment. Just as the eldest prince, the third prince, was about to take a step, a voice came from behind him.

"I'm so sorry, my brothers, I'm a little late."

Upon hearing the second prince's voice, the other princes naturally made way for him.

The guard wearing an iron mask helped the second prince all the way to the door.

"I've caught a cold today, please forgive me, brothers. Come in quickly, don't be late."

The princes bowed slightly to the second prince, and then walked into the Daming Mansion together.

And at that moment, it was exactly twelve o'clock.

The group arrived at the main hall where the banquet had been held the previous night. The eldest prince was still sitting in the highest seat, with Yu smiling at everyone beside him.

"Brothers, it's been a long time."

Although they were all dissatisfied with the eldest prince, they did not forget the proper etiquette. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

Qu Feng sat in the same spot as last night, as did the Second Prince.

However, we are destined to go hungry tonight at noon, and such a sacred gathering will not be allowed to be desecrated by food.

"I think you all already know the purpose of my gathering. There are too many misunderstandings between us brothers that need to be cleared up."

The eldest prince's face turned very sad.

But the princes in the audience didn't seem to buy it: "Brother, it seems a bit late to say this now. Why didn't you explain it clearly when Father disappeared?"

The third prince spoke righteously, expressing his great dissatisfaction with the eldest prince's pretentious attitude.

The eldest prince was still very aggrieved: "What my third brother said is true, but I was really stunned at the time. Father suddenly went crazy and ran out, leaving me with no idea how to bring it up."

"Moreover, my second brother didn't find our father when he led his men out to chase after him."

Then, with a heavy heart, he said, "I was thinking of telling you all after I had sorted out my thoughts, but who would have thought that my eighth brother would commit suicide again. You should be able to understand me. As the eldest brother, I really don't want us to end up like this."

The eldest prince spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and even shed a few tears.

These words left the princes present somewhat undecided, and even the youngest prince, the Ninth Prince, shed tears.

Qu Feng, however, was oblivious to all of this; he had been quietly observing Yu, who was standing next to the eldest prince, from beginning to end.

From the moment he entered the house, he had that same smiling expression, and it hasn't changed since.

Not only the wind was drawn to it, but even some princes found it strange, as if the rain was standing there like a wooden figure.

Qu Feng and his companions exchanged glances, just as they were about to speak.

The third prince's voice suddenly rang out: "Brother, I feel like there's something strange about the servant behind you."

Chapter 274 The Truth Comes to Light

Qu Feng and his companions exchanged glances, just as they were about to speak.

The third prince's voice suddenly rang out: "Brother, I feel like there's something strange about the servant behind you."

"strangeness?"

The eldest prince turned to look at Yu: "No, he's always like this. He's just a servant, so this expression is normal. There's no need to pay attention to him."

The third prince, however, did not intend to stop after hearing this: "From the moment we entered, this servant has had this face, and it has not changed at all. He hasn't even blinked once. This is really illogical."

The third prince, Tokami, kept attacking, and seemed a little confused. This should be his job. Did the third prince know about his plan?

But that's impossible. The puppet has been following the Third Prince around these days, and he discusses everything with the puppet, big or small, and hasn't noticed anything unusual.

Regardless, the Third Prince did make a good start, which made the request to obtain the wind more reasonable.

"Your Highness, I also find this servant of yours rather strange. Why don't you let him speak to you?"

The eldest prince frowned upon hearing this. How could even the wind-fetching envoy be involved with his younger brother?

"Lord Wind, how can a mere servant like Rain speak at our Whirlpool Gathering? This request is truly unreasonable."

But the third prince immediately said, "I think what this wind-collecting envoy said makes no problem, so let the rain say a few words."

The third prince was one of the bravest among the princes, but although he looked like a warrior, he was actually very thoughtful.

A month ago, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the rain, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to do so.

Just then, his father went missing and his eighth brother died. All these things piled up at that time, leaving him no time to care about the rain.

But after leaving Uzushiogakure, he felt increasingly uneasy, which led him to send a letter to Konoha Village requesting assistance.

With Konoha's support, he felt more confident, but he never expected that his elder brother would write to Konoha for help.

But now was the best opportunity, and he had to speak up. And his gamble paid off; the Konoha ninja named Tokiwa was indeed on his side.

In fact, Qu Feng really had to thank the Third Prince. He was worried that speaking rashly would disrupt the Vortex Gathering, and instead of finding out who was controlling the First Prince, he ruined his own reputation.

That would be a losing proposition.

At this moment, all the princes except the second prince spoke up in agreement with the third prince and Qu Feng's proposal.

The eldest prince was thus in a very difficult position.

The second prince then stood up and reassured his brothers, "Brothers, please don't be anxious or angry. There has never been a precedent of allowing servants to speak at previous gatherings. Doing so would bring shame upon our ancestors."

Upon hearing this, the third prince waved his hand and said, "Second brother, stop trying to bluff your way out of this. Everyone knows that you and the eldest brother are in cahoots, otherwise we brothers wouldn't have moved away from here."

The second prince thought he still had some influence, but he was speechless after being rebuked by his third brother.

"Alright, since that's how Third Brother sees me, I'll keep quiet."

After saying that, he sat down looking dejected.

The eldest prince was quite puzzled by his third brother's insistence on letting Yu speak at the gathering, even disregarding brotherly affection.

But since the other brothers also agreed, he had no choice. After all, at the Whirlpool Gathering, status and position were not the topic of discussion.

"Rain, since the princes all want you to say something, why don't you say a few words first?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince, Torifu, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Jiri all took a deep breath, waiting for that scene to unfold.

As soon as Yu speaks, she will lose control of the eldest prince, and then they will be able to punish her directly!

Yu slowly opened her eyes, and those pale blue eyes seemed to contain a raging storm.

"I am merely a servant and lackey of the Crown Prince. What do you princes want me to say? Why pressure the Crown Prince for the sake of a mere servant like me?"

“He is your elder brother.”

Damn it! What's going on?!

The Third Prince and Qu Feng were both taken aback! Because the First Prince's expression was very natural at this moment, and he was even echoing what Yu said.

Hiruzen and the others were also a bit confused, and they all looked at Torifu with puzzled eyes.

At this moment, Qu Feng was also confused, wondering if Yu had learned of his plans in advance and found a way to deal with them.

But just as Qu Feng was racking his brains for a solution, Yu spoke up again.

"Are you princes and envoys asking whether I have manipulated the eldest prince?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng was completely stunned, and then immediately looked up at Yu.

At that moment, Yu was also looking at Qu Feng. The instant their eyes met, Qu Feng felt a sharp pain in his mind.

"Wow, what strong resistance!"

At this moment, Qu Feng realized that he had completely underestimated Yu's strength. The attack just now had directly affected his mind. If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated his mind every day when he was a child in order to control the puppet, he would have been in trouble.
