Chapter 355: Prince Anyang's Decision

Prince Anyang regained his composure after a short while and nodded, saying, "I have to thank you for telling me this. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark and would not even know when Mr. Mu had fallen out with me."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Mr. Mu is an elder whom I respect very much. I just don't want to see him being harmed by a traitor." Su Chen said.

Prince Anyang laughed and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "I have a question for you. You must answer it truthfully."

"Please ask, Your Highness."

"During the autumn hunt in the palace, when the third prince died, you should have played a big role in it, right?" Prince Anyang asked, staring into Su Chen's eyes.

Hearing this, Su Chen knew that Princess Xiling should have told Prince Anyang what happened during the autumn hunt.

He just didn't know how much Princess Xiling had told.

At that moment, Su Chen smiled openly, without any fear: "That's right."

"You are so brave, you dare to get involved in the fight between my princes?" The Prince of Anyang smiled.

Su Chen spread his hands innocently: "I just want to protect my own people, not to get involved intentionally. What's more, it doesn't seem to be against the rules for the princes to fight for the position of crown prince with the help of outsiders. Didn't the third prince also rely on a lot of outside forces?"

"That being said, the eldest prince relied on your power too much during the autumn hunt." The Prince of Anyang said.

Su Chen shook his head: "I just tried my best to protect myself and my people. I didn't have much intention to help the eldest prince. The eldest prince can borrow my strength, which shows that he has strong luck. Isn't the reason why the prince let several princes fight just to choose the one with the strongest luck?"

The Prince of Anyang laughed dumbly: "Rumor has it that you are eloquent, and now it seems to be true."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"Then I ask you, what is your purpose in helping the eldest prince, and what did he promise you? Don't say that you just want to protect your own people. I won't believe such a lame excuse." Prince of Anyang said leisurely.

Su Chen also laughed: "Nothing can be hidden from the prince. Well, the eldest prince did promise me something, but I haven't got it yet."

"What is it?" Prince of Anyang asked with a little curiosity.

"If I tell you, will the prince give it to me?"

"Boy, you're dreaming." Prince Anyang shook his head, "If that thing is a priceless treasure, how can I give it to you easily?"

"Is the Ice and Snow Cicada a priceless treasure in the prince's mind?" Su Chen asked.

"Ice and Snow Cicada?" Prince Anyang was stunned, "You really want it, it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Anyang princes."

"Anyway, it's useless to keep it in the prince's mansion, so why not give it to me." Su Chen simply acted rogue.

Prince Anyang snorted coldly: "Don't bother me, who promised you, go ask for it."

Su Chen smiled and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"In your eyes, how suitable is the eldest prince to inherit the throne?" Prince Anyang suddenly asked.

It seems that Prince Anyang still has a little hesitation about the ownership of the crown prince, and is not 100% sure about the eldest prince.

But it's no wonder. The position of the crown prince is of great importance. It's not easy to be the king of a county. So when the Prince of Anyang County chooses the crown prince, he will naturally look around and consider a lot.

If Su Chen said a few bad things about the eldest prince at this time, then the Prince of Anyang County might reconsider the position of the crown prince.

After all, the eldest prince got a lot of tricks in the competition with the third prince for the crown prince, and it can even be said that he borrowed a lot of Su Chen's help.

If there was no noble Su Chen, the eldest prince would not have been able to get the position of the crown prince so easily.

Su Chen thought for a moment, but gave an evaluation: "The eldest prince is a man with great ambitions, a sense of responsibility, and can endure the anger for a while. He is a good talent for governing the county."

The Prince of Anyang County frowned and said, "But he seems to be a little too cautious, more defensive than aggressive."

"Does the prince think that those who have wolfish ambitions but no corresponding abilities are more suitable for the position of the crown prince?" Su Chen asked with a faint smile.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about the eldest prince." Prince Anyang said.

Su Chen laughed: "No matter what I say, it won't make much difference. Everything depends on your own opinion, right?"

"Well, hehe, everything depends on my own opinion." Prince Anyang finally laughed and shook his head, "Forget it, I can't worry about it all my life. The eldest prince is a good choice for the crown prince. Among so many princes, he is the best."

After a pause, Prince Anyang said, "I have been in charge of Anyang County for so many years. It's time to step down and leave everything to you young people."

"Does the prince intend to abdicate?" Su Chen asked.

"Well, I have decided. After the Anyang Martial Arts Conference, I will announce that I will abdicate and the crown prince will take over." The Prince of Anyang said leisurely, as if he was talking about something as trivial as eating and drinking.

If there were other people present, they would be shocked to hear this. The Prince of Anyang actually said such a major matter as abdication in front of a junior.

But Su Chen was not surprised at all when he heard the Prince of Anyang.

His eyes fell on the Prince of Anyang, and then he bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

The Prince of Anyang smiled and said, "Why are you congratulating me on my abdication?"

"Of course, I am congratulating you for letting go of worldly affairs. From now on, you can devote yourself to martial arts and break through the Lingtai realm." Su Chen shrugged.

Prince Anyang was stunned, and then immediately raised his aura, and the astonishing pressure surged out like a tide. He stared at Su Chen with shining eyes and asked: "You can actually see it?"

Su Chen smiled slightly: "I am an alchemist, and I can see more than ordinary people."

Prince Anyang nodded. At this moment, he also completely put down the airs of the lord of a county, and spoke to Su Chen in a tone of treating a junior: "Do you think I can break through to the Lingtai realm?"

"As long as the prince can let go of worldly thoughts, the chance of breaking through to the Lingtai realm is very high." Su Chen said.

"Haha... Then I'll borrow your good words." Prince Anyang laughed.

"By the way, how much does the prince know about the seventh prince?"

"Seventh prince?" Prince Anyang frowned, "A silent child, because of his outstanding talent in alchemy, the prince promoted him to the prince, but the prince didn't communicate much with him, why?"

"The seventh prince, the prince should pay more attention to this person." Su Chen said.
