Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 39 The End of the Crown Prince

Li Chengze was full of confidence that he would be able to join the ranks of grand masters one day.

It is even possible to occupy a place among the grand masters and possess impressive strength.

Although this is not something that can be achieved overnight, it will only take one or two years for him to naturally reach this state. If this news is made public, it will surely cause widespread shock.

After all, in the original novel, Joy of Life, there were only a handful of grand masters, only four.

Even though he now lives in a world that integrates many types of martial arts, the status of a grandmaster is still the most respected existence in the world.

As for the legendary land of immortals, Li Chengze also conducted some investigations recently and found that it seemed to exist only in legends. At least on the surface, no one could reach it.

Even King Xianzhi of the East China Sea, a man who had ruled the martial arts world for many years, was only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

"Chengze, it's better for you to use the golden body form of the Golden Light Mantra less in the future." At this time, the eldest prince next to him suddenly reminded.

"Yes, the golden body is too eye-catching, especially for you as a prince." Fan Xian also echoed, agreeing with the eldest prince's words.

"I understand." Li Chengze nodded to show his understanding.

He knew very well that Emperor Qing's vigilance towards him must be increasing day by day, otherwise he would not have made so many promises to him.

The prince is frail and sickly, you should work harder.

Before he reaches the Grand Master realm, it would be better for him to avoid touching Emperor Qing's sensitive nerves again.

Otherwise, if the stimulation is too deep, no one can guarantee that when Emperor Qing is unable to take action personally, he will not use the power of the temple to deal with himself.

In general, the reward for this mission is undoubtedly a huge gain for Li Chengze.

The mission has brought such rich rewards, Li Chengze is looking forward to higher-level missions.

Afterwards, Fan Xian expressed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Qing's obvious favoritism towards the Crown Prince. The eldest prince pointed out that the Crown Prince had a special status and there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects. Their questioning of the Crown Prince today was enough to cause a stir across the country.

Fan Xian believes that Emperor Qing's actions are to protect the prince and prevent him from being convicted, even though the results of the Supervisory Commission's investigation are already quite clear.

Fan Xian also mentioned the tragedy of Shijia Town and the loss of thousands of lives, expressing his dissatisfaction with the way Emperor Qing handled it.

The eldest prince reminded Fan Xian to be careful with his words and avoid making inappropriate comments about Emperor Qing, but Fan Xian didn't seem to care and thought he could speak freely in front of Li Chengze.

Fan Xian says with emotion that Emperor Qing has always regarded him as the crown prince's whetstone, but now the crown prince may have been worn down by him, implying that the crown prince's status and future may be threatened.

"Of course, the emperor will be partial to me."

"After all, this situation is not what he expected. At least for now, he is not ready to face the situation where the prince may be defeated by me."

Li Chengze was not surprised by this. He shook his head slightly, as if he had anticipated Emperor Qing's reaction.

"Hey, Chengze, you are too bold. How can you say such words casually?"

The eldest prince had just blamed Fan Xian for his harsh words, but he was somewhat shocked when he heard what Li Chengze said.

Li Chengze's words seemed to be truly disrespectful.

"It doesn't matter. If the emperor can do it, why can't I say it?"

Li Chengze waved his hand casually, seeming to be unconcerned.

The eldest prince opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but then he thought that Fan Xian had accumulated considerable reputation, and even the emperor could not punish him easily.

Li Chengze used to be cautious and thoughtful, but now he seems to not care much about the emperor's authority. This is the source of his confidence.

"Chengze, Fan Xian, I'll take my leave first."

The eldest prince had already asked everything he needed to know, and he found the conversation between Li Chengze and Fan Xian a little too much to bear, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Well, big brother, be careful on the road." Li Chengze responded and said goodbye to the eldest prince. "Can you put it another way? The way you put it, it seems like I'm leaving and never coming back."

The eldest prince turned around and rolled his eyes at Li Chengze half-jokingly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that." Li Chengze was stunned for a moment, realizing that what the eldest prince said did make sense, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Sometimes, the friendship between men can be deepened through a few jokes between each other.

This strong friendship is often strengthened by mutual honesty and frankness.

The eldest prince waved his hand and left in a hurry.

With the departure of the eldest prince, Fan Xian's words became more free. After all, some of their plans should not be leaked.

"Your Highness, do you think the Crown Prince really leaked the news about saving Lin Wan'er?"

Fan Xian asked the question casually with an understated attitude.

"No matter what the truth is, in the eyes of everyone, he is already the leaker, and he cannot get rid of this suspicion." Li Chengze shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Fan Xian nodded in agreement after hearing these words. Indeed, the previous plan had already made an indelible charge against the prince - colluding with the enemy country and betraying his family. This was a stain that was difficult for him to wash away.

Therefore, at today's court meeting, the Second Prince took the opportunity to attack the Crown Prince, making the entire action seem more reasonable.

"It's just that we have planned so much, but we didn't expect that we still can't bring him down." Fan Xian said with emotion, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"I never expected that this incident alone would be enough to shake the crown prince's position."

Li Chengze responded, then he paused and looked at Fan Xian curiously.
"Logically speaking, the prince has no deep hatred towards you, so why are you so eager to bring him down?"

"He was willing to sacrifice innocent people in order to frame you. Would you like to let such a person rule the world?" Fan Xian asked Li Chengze in a firm tone.

"So, do you want me to join forces with you to fight against the prince?" Li Chengze continued to ask, trying to find out Fan Xian's true intentions.

"That's right!" Fan Xian nodded firmly without hesitation.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Fan Xian's words, Li Chengze seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Fan Xian was puzzled when he saw Li Chengze laughing so happily, and couldn't help asking.

"I just find it funny. Normally I should be the one asking you to help me deal with the prince." Li Chengze said with a laugh.

"But now the situation is completely the opposite!" He continued to say to Fan Xian with a smile.

"This is actually all the same, there is no difference..." Fan Xian was stunned at first, but soon responded with a smile.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Li Chengze's mind:
"Trigger the passive quest, 'The End of the Crown Prince'."

The specific requirement of the mission is to successfully make Crown Prince Li Chengqian lose his position as heir to the throne.

If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with Yin Yang Five Thunders;

If you fail, you will randomly lose one of the Eight Wonders you have acquired.

"It seems that the passive task has really been triggered." Li Chengze nodded silently in his heart. He already had a certain understanding of the rules of the task.

Active tasks are usually completed on your own initiative, while passive tasks are triggered when others ask for help.

Although there is a risk of failure in passive tasks, the corresponding rewards are also more generous.

After a brief thought, Li Chengze chose to accept the task without hesitation.
