Heaven Slaying Blade

Xi Xiong came for a simple reason, to show kindness and offer an apology.

"Much of what happened in the past was strategized by me, it's not really relevant to my brother," Xia Xiong calmly admitted all the incidents that were against Chu Mo within the past year.

Chu Mo silently looked at Xia Xiong, he actually didn't want to see this second prince at all. Because he felt, there was nothing good to talk about between him and Xia Xiong. Although, their grudges were not deep as the sea, it would still take more than a day or two to resolve them.

It was fine when they plotted against Xia Jing half a year ago, but all the actions Xia Xiong took after he returned were targeted at his life. Even a person with a good temper would get angry, let alone Chu Mo, who didn't have such good temper.

"I came here mainly to apologize to Young Master Chu, it was indeed my mistake in the past. I also have a small token, just as an apology to Young Master Chu," Xia Xiong said, taking out a silver note and placing it on the table.

Chu Mo glanced at it and said indifferently, "Ten million liang of silver, Your Highness is indeed generous."

"I know, this is not enough to fully express my apology to you. This... is just a little intention. As for the future... I believe, Young Master Chu will see more of my sincerity," Xia Xiong said, looking at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo thought for a while and said, "From the beginning, I never targeted your royal family."

Xia Xiong nodded, "Yes, it was always us who were targeting Young Master Chu."

"Now, your brother is in trouble. Do you want to become the crown prince?" Chu Mo directly asked.

Xia Xiong did not deny it but looked at Chu Mo and smiled, "What does Young Master Chu think?"

"This is your royal family's business. What does it have to do with a youngster like me? I've already understood your intentions. As for the crown prince's position, I will not interfere, nor do I have the influence to do so," Chu Mo said, looking at Xia Xiong.

"Young Master Chu is too modest, you do have influence," Xia Xiong said with a bitter smile. There's not a teenager in his teens who could be as monstrous like the one before him; so young, yet already favored by the current cabinet leader and even the military commander. Not even to mention that the emperor's attitude towards Chu Mo was always of reusing.

Despite the ups and downs like the bestowed marriage to Miao Yi Niang, the attitude towards Chu Mo had not changed throughout.

Such a person, if he wanted to influence the court politics of Great Xia, it might not be impossible.

Chu Mo looked at Xia Xiong, "Even if I could, I wouldn't. I've said it before, this is an internal matter of your royal family. I won't ruin your business, but Your Highness, I hope you can keep your promise and not bother me again!"

What Xia Xiong wanted from coming here today was precisely Chu Mo's words. He was not naive enough to think that he had come in person, with a staggering banknote, and Chu Mo would totally reconcile with him. If that were the case, he would have been even more insecure.

As long as Chu Mo didn't interfere in this matter, then, Xia Xiong would have enough confidence to compete for the position of crown prince.

After all these years, this extraordinarily intelligent prince couldn't wait any longer, ready to step out from behind the scenes.

Xia Xiong took his leave. Chu Mo was alone in the room, pondering for a long time.

In the end, a faint smile appeared on the young man's face, and he muttered, "The thing that you guys are fighting for, I'm not interested at all. Now, I only have three things to do! First, to help my master collect a large amount of medicinal herbs, hoping to bring my master back as soon as possible and rescue my beloved from her sufferings. Second, keep improving myself, strive to enhance my strength to the innate realm in the shortest time possible, then break through the void and enter the Spirit Realm. Xiaoyu, you wait for me. Third, in the process, try to promote my grandfather a few more ranks. So that he can enjoy his old age in peace when I'm gone someday."

So, even if there were more things in this chaotic world, Chu Mo didn't need to bother. All Chu Mo needed was to keep working hard to achieve each of his goals, and that would be enough.

The location of Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy had already been chosen. It was in the center of Yanhuang City, to the west of the imperial city, covering thousands of acres of land. This area was originally a large royal garden, separated from the imperial city only by a high wall!

The emperor had worked hard to choose the location. He was initially reluctant to let go of this garden. But in the end, he gave it up as the location for Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy and started construction here.

When the entire country mobilized to get something done, the speed was astonishing.

So, in less than a month, the Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy was completely built!

During this time, except for once every ten days for the Primordial Beast blood bath, Chu Mo spent almost all his time at the Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy, personally supervising some things.

Even though Miao Yi Niang had left, this academy embodied all of her hopes!

Chu Mo did not want to disappoint Miao Yi Niang, he had to make the name of the Piaomiao Palace appear again in this world… and shine brightly!

The intelligence of the organization headed by Chu Yan started to take effect.

According to information, a number of unidentified people had recently appeared in Yanhuang City. Judging from their clothes, accents and all the information collected by the informants, these people were likely from the Vermilion Bird continent.

Chu Mo was somewhat troubled with this news.

He could roughly guess the identities of these people and their purpose. Miao Yi Niang might have left, but these people came for the inheritance. Once Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy opened, there was no way to hide the news of the inheritance here.

Therefore, it wasn't that easy to drive all these people away.

"If I had known Sister Yiniang could enter the Immortal gateway from the start, I wouldn't have bothered with this damned academy," Chu mo muttered under his breath. But on second thought, he realized it was Miao Yi Niang's greatest wish to revive Piaomiao Palace, so there was nothing to complain about.

Chu Mo managed to take a trip to the Prince's Mansion and met Mr. Weichi. He also visited the palace and met the old eunuch by the emperor's side.

No one knew what Chu Mo had talked about with them, but in the end, Mr. Weichi and the old eunuch became the vice-principals of the soon-to-be-established Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy.

When Chu Mo entered the palace and had just finished talking with the old eunuch, the emperor unexpectedly appeared.

The somewhat haggard emperor kindly said to Chu Mo, "There is a special person in the palace...who wishes to meet you."

Chu Mo was somewhat puzzled; he glanced at the emperor, then at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch whispered, "It's the grand master who has entered the refining period of the Understanding Heart Realm. Previously...when the crown prince was seriously injured, this senior was also slightly injured. He hopes Young Master Chu can take a look."

A master of the Understanding Heart Realm!

Chu Mo's eyes barely narrowed, thinking: if I could invite this kind of person to come to Piaomiao Palace Royal Academy, it would be more secure, wouldn't it?

Then, Chu Mo nodded, "Alright, take me to see this senior."

The emperor's face finally showed a little joy, and he personally led Chu Mo into an underground secret passage.

On the way, the Emperor seemed to ask casually, "Chu Mo, who do you think...would be more suitable to be the crown prince?" (to be continued.
