The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 139 Elucidated

"Do you think I'm a genius?"

"Yes, you are a genius."

"So you want me to join you?"

"Yes, I sincerely hope so, and afterwards, of course, we will be partners as you said, not superior and subordinate."

"Oh... is that so."

He exchanged a few words with the Fourth Prince in front of him, and the other party responded.

With Chu Qianqiu's shallow experience, he could already discern the clues from these few words.

It seemed that this Fourth Prince was also a marginal figure in the empire.

And the reason he recruited him was, of course, to recruit soldiers and expand his own influence.

Recruiting him further confirmed the situation of the other party lacking manpower, confirming that he was a marginal figure in the imperial family.

However, what he didn't expect was that they were so short of manpower, to the extent that they had to personally recruit.

Chu Qianqiu had never seen such a "sincere" member of the royal family, and coupled with the fact that the other party had no ill intentions, he decided to ask.

"What conditions can you offer me?"

"I can help you clear your current status as a criminal, even though you are not really a criminal."

"Now, my father and other ministers are preparing for war, preparing to launch a war against the Falling Star Empire."

"Now, they don't have time to deal with the affairs of the imperial city, so I am in charge of all these matters."

"In recent years, I have been traveling incognito, visiting many cities, and observing the lives of the people. So I know best that the empire is slowly destroying itself by consuming the people's resources."

"And in the imperial family, those who do not support the war will eventually be marginalized, and I will become the sacrificial lamb in this duel."

"It's not that I don't want the empire to prosper, but I know that the empire's foundation is not enough to launch an effective counterattack."

"But now, my father's health is deteriorating, and he wants to see the glory of the empire before he passes away. My brothers are all competing for fame and fortune, trying their best to recruit strong individuals to serve them."

"I don't want to lose to them, but I also don't want to rely on exploiting the people to gain wealth and recruit soldiers."

"So as you can see, by my side, I don't even have bodyguards, only Humo follows me."

"I have been looking for an ideal candidate in my heart to help me ascend to the highest throne. I want to rebuild this decaying empire and create a path to peace and prosperity."

"Brother Chu, I admire your talent, and I hope you can lend me a hand."

He sincerely extended his hand, and Tang Zhao's expression was undeniably serious.

Chu Qianqiu smiled and did not shake hands.

"Why should I care about the life and death of your empire?"

"What can I do for you?"

He asked, genuinely curious.

This Fourth Prince of the empire is now going to fight against his own elder brothers. Why should he help?

Unless the other party can truly become the emperor of this empire in the future, otherwise, if he gets involved, it will only muddy the waters.

Even if the other party promises to clear his name and let him continue to live in the Moon Phoenix City, he no longer needs it now.

Humo listened in anger, rebuking Chu Qianqiu for his disrespectful attitude, but was silenced by Tang Zhao's gaze.

Tang Zhao withdrew his hand, but still appeared friendly, without getting angry.

"Brother Chu, with your help, I will definitely succeed."

"As long as I have your assistance, even if my older brothers recruit thousands of soldiers, they will not be my match."

"I know that you possess a secret that is definitely not ordinary. In fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, but I did not take any action at that time."

"I often disguise myself as an ordinary citizen to observe the lives of the people in the empire. Naturally, I have observed you a long time ago."

"The speed at which your family is developing is astonishing, even I am amazed."

"And today, the invisible fire technique you used has also broadened my horizons. It must be a Profound Grade or higher technique, right?"

"A small family like yours actually possesses a technique of this level. Honestly, if it weren't for my broad knowledge and confirmation that I didn't see it wrong, I wouldn't believe it."

"Brother Chu, if you develop, your achievements and those of your family will surpass our Rising Sun Empire."

"Wait? This guy's technique is Profound Grade?!"

Listening to the Fourth Prince's words, Humo almost fell down in shock.

Now he finally understands why he was so heavily restrained in his battle with this guy just now.

It turns out that the technique the other party cultivates is not even on the same level as his.

Profound Grade? How powerful must this technique be?

The current emperor of the empire, who cultivates a Profound Grade technique, is still a secret skill that is not passed down. Only trusted direct bloodlines can inherit it.

As a nobody, he can only cultivate a Yellow Grade superior martial art, which is already quite difficult.

"No wonder I couldn't defeat him... damn it."

With these thoughts in his mind, Humo became even more wary of Chu Qianqiu's background and was also glad that he didn't act against him earlier, although he had been rude with his words.

"So, Brother Chu, I believe your background is not simple. It is our honor for you to come and live in our Rising Sun Empire."

"I won't ask about your background forces, nor will I ask where your strength and powerful techniques come from. These are not questions I should ask."

Based on my previous investigation, you are not someone who actively causes trouble, so I will take care of the Xiao family's matter for you."

"With my influence, the Xiao family's matter will soon be suppressed, and you will become a hero in the two cities, a blessing for the people of the Fusion City."

"In fact, I have been paying attention to the Xiao family's oppression of the people of Fusion City for a long time, but I lacked a suitable reason to completely eradicate them. Now you have helped me."

"So, helping you clear your 'guilt' is something I don't need you to do anything for. It's all my voluntary assistance."

"Brother Chu, you can go back and rest now. I will give you good news before you return to the city."

By offering this goodwill, Tang Zhao is no longer eager to recruit Chu Qianqiu, but actively tries to leave a good impression on him.

Upon hearing this, Humo was dumbfounded. He had never seen the Fourth Prince treat someone so leniently.

This guy is a murderer, yet he just let him go like that?

However, what the Fourth Prince said is true. This kid's motive for killing was not proactive, but reactive.

The death of the entire Xiao family can, to some extent, be attributed to the foolishness of Xiao Yan, not the ruthlessness of Chu Qianqiu.

If Xiao Yan hadn't provoked him, how could he have taken action?

In addition, after listening to this guy's words just now, he also had his own thoughts and began to waver in his absolute sense of justice.

However, if he helps Chu Qianqiu clear his name, wouldn't he be unable to make a large amount of money from this kid?

Humo originally intended to extort a sum of money from him, after all, the other party did something out of line, and he collected the money under the pretext of justice.

Unexpectedly, now the Fourth Prince, in order to recruit this kid, doesn't require him to pay any money, nor does he have to accept the punishment of being sent to the battlefield. He even wants to defend him and let the entire city's people know that he is the real victim?

This, to Humo's surprise, but now it makes sense.
