I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Open Conflict and Covert Fight (1/4) Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: Open Conflict and Covert Fight (1/4) Sometimes, the murderous intent hidden in words can be more chilling than actual physical confrontation.

The conversation between the Ninth Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince made everyone present feel a cold dread in their hearts.

At the same time, it also made them understand that the rift between these three had grown beyond reconciliation.

Even if the Ninth Prince succeeded in becoming the Crown Prince.

After all, if the Ninth Prince truly gained power, how could the Third and Fifth Princes, who had orchestrated such acts, possibly end well?

The first they would have to deal with would be them.

“Alright, us standing here is making it uncomfortable for everyone to sit. Shall we take our seats first?” the Ninth Prince said with a smile, gesturing towards the officials and prodigies who had all stood up.

The Third and Fifth Princes nodded and followed the Ninth Prince to the seats that were two steps higher than all the others.

And as they took their seats, they noticed Mu Fusheng and others seated at the lower end.

“It seems that these are the prodigy students from the Mixed Spirit Academy,” the Third Prince said with a feigned smile. “I’ve heard much about your talents from our younger brother; perhaps we can work closely together in the future.”

Ye Qiubai said with a cupped fist salute, “That will have to depend on Your Highness’s sincerity.”

The Ninth Prince gave a slight smile, not showing any anger at the Third Prince for trying to poach his allies before him.

After all, with the clear stand-off, Ye Qiubai and the others were no fools and would naturally avoid offending both sides.
