Chen Ning's calm voice sounded in the secret vault, and the choice of this fragment really surprised Zhou Han.

But he also kindly reminded him, don't let Chen Ning have the luck of picking up leaks, but if people don't listen, then there is no way.

It has been benevolent and righteous.

"Okay, since Dean Chen has chosen, then please come here. ”

Zhou Han led the way back again, leading Chen Ning and the others out of the royal secret vault.

Chen Ning also had his own considerations for choosing this, although the fragment of this demon holy relic was of little use now.

But when you successfully unbind the system, you can just try to collect another fragment, which can be regarded as leaving a little more means for you to embark on the road of being strong in the future.

After receiving the reward, Chen Ning and Zhao Ming planned to go back to the academy directly, but a palace warrior with a long sword on his back suddenly stopped Chen Ning.

"Your Excellency is Dean Chen Ning of Taiping Academy, right?"

The swordsman looked him up and down, then spoke lightly.

"It's me, are you?" Chen Ning said curiously.

"Xiao convicted of the crime and served under the account of the second prince. ”

Xiao Ju's sentence was an understatement, but it threw out a heavyweight.

The second prince of Tianyuan Kingdom.

The Tianjiao-level figures of the Tianyuan Kingdom, Wen Taowu and Wuluo, are all extraordinary.

At the age of twenty-seven, he stepped into the Lingwu realm.

It is also the most powerful contender for the throne of the Tianyuan Kingdom in the future.

"Dean Chen, you accept this invitation, three days later, the second prince will hold a banquet and discuss the cultivation with many courtiers of Tianyuan, Taiping Academy will cure the imperial concubine, a great achievement, the second prince is the most important hero, I hope you can come,"

Xiao Xuansin smiled and invited, but his smile gave people a sense of gloom and compassion.

Chen Ning subconsciously raised his hand to take the invitation, and Xiao broke off and left.

However, the invitation of the second prince cannot be taken lightly.

It is said that the courtiers of Tianyuan are invited to discuss the matter of cultivation, but is it necessary to discuss with the courtiers for a practice?

The obvious drunkard does not mean to drink.

It seems to be an ordinary dinner, but in fact, it is a standing party.

If Chen Ning went, it would mean that he was on the side of the second prince.

It is equivalent to expressing support for the second prince.

Therefore, you have to consider whether to go or not, and inquire about the potential of the second prince after returning to the academy.

Chen Ning doesn't know very well the abilities of these princes in the imperial capital, if he is a waste prince, he will go, it doesn't matter.

If you are a prince who works hard and has the ability to compete for the throne, you must not stand in line.

If this is really on the throne and become the next Tianyuan Emperor, it will be terrible.

If his Taiping Academy was in ancient times, it would be regarded as a minister of the hidden dragon.

The prestige rose beyond imagination.

............

Back at the academy, Chen Ning called Xiao Sui, who thought something big had happened and hurried over.

"Dean, is there anything that needs to be done?"

"This man, I want to know all his information as soon as possible. ”

Chen Ning pointed to the three words of the second prince on the rice paper and said with great certainty.

"This?"

Xiao Sui's eyelids jumped wildly, shouldn't the dean be trying to usurp the throne?

"Where did you go? ”

Chen Ning looked at Xiao Sui's shocked appearance and knew that he wanted to be crooked.

"Aren't you going to the palace to receive the reward, the second prince invited me to attend the dinner three days later on behalf of the Taiping Academy, and I just want to know about it. ”

After Chen Ning explained, Xiao Sui breathed a sigh of relief: "Dean, you scared me to death." ”

Xiao Sui fully understood the dean's plan, and he could become the sect boss alongside the Taoyuan Sect in Hanyan City, and he still had this brain.

The invitation of the second prince is not just an invitation, it is clearly for the dean to choose to support him.

And the dean is also a person of wisdom, and he will definitely know himself and the other before making a decision, so that he can be calm.

Understanding the person of the second prince is a necessary step.

"Okay Dean, I'll do it right away. ”

Xiao Sui walked out of the room and went to collect all the news about the second prince.

............

In a palatial room.

The second prince, Li Xuan, was enjoying the singing and dancing of the servants in front of him.

These are all servants invited by the prince's mansion at a great price, and these women are pleasing the prince in front of them to their heart's content, with gestures and graceful demeanor.

"Your Highness, the invitation has been sent. ”

"Oh?"

Li Xuan inadvertently turned his head sideways and asked, "What did he say?"

Xiao Xuansin stood on one side and said calmly: "He didn't say anything. ”

"This dean of Taiping Academy shouldn't be too stupid, he should know what I mean, otherwise he wouldn't be able to resist the blood clan, and his disciples can cure the imperial concubine, judging from all these things, he is not a stupid person. ”

Li Xuan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Your Highness, since he has already taken it, it means that he is willing to stand on our side. ”

"That's nature, otherwise who would he stand on?"

Li Xuan's eyebrows revealed strong ambitions, and he believed that Taiping Academy would make the right decision.

"Okay, the singing and dancing are over, and I'm tired, so let's all go down. ”

Li Xuan got up, left with his hands, and went to bathe.

Xiao Xuansin naturally understood what His Highness meant, stood above, and said to a few servant women: "A few of you, go to His Highness's room to serve His Highness in a while, and make sure that His Highness is satisfied." ”

With that, he turned and left.

............

In the depths of the palace, the imperial concubine's bedroom.

Emperor Tian Yuan would come here every day to visit the imperial concubine.

At this time, he was sitting at the purple gold table engraved with golden dragon stripes, looking at the roster in his hand with a deep gaze.

"Your Majesty, Dean Chen only took the fragment of the magic stone. ”

Zhou Han was at the door, reporting some things to Emperor Tianyuan today.

Zhou Han is not only the commander of the guards, but also the eyes of Emperor Tianyuan, and is deeply trusted by the emperor.

"Oh?"

Emperor Tian Yuan's eyes froze, revealing a trace of doubt.

"Why did he leave a pile of heavenly treasures and take a broken stone fragment?"

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. ”

Zhou Han replied truthfully.

Emperor Tian Yuan fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded suddenly.

Chen Ning is a bit witty, otherwise, he would not be able to bring an academy back to life that was almost defeated.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Ning's move is very understandable.

"This Chen Ning is very good at being a person. ”

Emperor Tian Yuan shook his head and smiled, thinking that he had completely understood Chen Ning's thoughts.

Just think about it, he just took this opportunity to deliberately not choose those treasures, but went through the motions, in order to cleverly sell a face to the royal family.

He thinks that Chen Ning may think that if he really chooses a treasure that the royal family attaches great importance to, will the royal family give it or not?

If you don't give it, you will lose your trust in the world.

Yes, the royal family will have a complicated attitude towards Taiping Academy.

Therefore, he must be worried that the royal family will hold a grudge against the academy because of this.

chose this way of dealing with it, which not only did not grovel, but also solved this problem on the side.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the second prince invited the Taiping Academy to the dinner. ”

Zhou Han still spoke calmly.
