Peerless Taoist

A eunuch carried a stack of letters and placed them in front of the Crown Prince.    

At this moment, in the depths of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince and Xu Tiangang sat facing each other. Beside them sat a group of Eastern Palace aides.    

Now, whether it was the Imperial Court or the secular world, everyone knew that the Crown Prince was trying to rope Xu Tiangang in. This was a fact, and there was no need to hide it anymore.    

Back in the Qiankun Palace, the Crown Prince had tried his best to remove Lu Yu's first rank. But in the end, he was stopped by the literary sage, Zhang Hong, midway, and ended up with a regretful ending. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Crown Prince.    

Especially among the new scholars, the Crown Prince's prestige had already been greatly weakened.    

In comparison, the Crown Prince seemed to have become Lu Yu's stepping stone, making Lu Yu's reputation rise in the Heaven Realm.    

At this moment, Lu Yu and Xu Tiangang were sitting in front of each other, drinking tea without saying a word. Although their faces were still calm, the surrounding atmosphere was filled with an unusual gloominess.    

"Your Highness, I have seen these things more than once. The sudden rise of this person was full of doubts. How could he have such strength at such a young age? I suspect that this person definitely has a shocking inheritance behind him! This inheritance is able to allow a bumpkin like him to ascend from the Lower Realm. He suddenly rose up and became a genius that could shock the entire Heaven Realm."    

Xu Tiangang said with a gloomy expression.    

If it wasn't for Lu Yu, he would have been the top scorer of this Imperial Examinations.    

In this world, although the Imperial Examinations were equally precious, their fame was not as high as the top scorer.    

Especially at this moment, the brilliance of their new students had been completely concealed by Lu Yu.    

"You're saying that he has some kind of inheritance on him?" The Crown Prince frowned.    

Xu Tiangang nodded, "Take our family's Family Head, the Divine Might Marquis, for example. The Divine Might Marquis had obtained the inheritance of the ancient Bone Devil Sect back then, and his demonic cultivation had reached the acme of perfection. No one could match him. However, he had also obtained the favor of the Buddhist Sect, and the inheritance of a Buddhist expert. He was able to fuse the Buddhist and Devil Daos together and finally attain his current supreme divine power."    

"He, Lu Yu, is just an ordinary man, but he possesses unimaginable strength amongst his peers. I don't believe that he can achieve such a level without relying on his inheritance."    

One of the strategists frowned and said, "Could it be because he is a saint? If he could receive Yi Sheng's personal guidance, he would definitely be able to reach such a level. "    

"Impossible!"    

The Crown Prince shook his head. "We have been investigating his experiences for a long time. This person had just ascended from the Lower Realm and had risen very quickly. It was not until he came to the Imperial Capital that he met Yi Sheng. In other words, he had never met Yi Sheng before. Then this inheritance is also nonsense."    

" Since it's not Yi Sheng... then it must be his fortuitous encounter. "    

Xu Tiangang stared at the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, if there really is such a mysterious fortuitous encounter, it can allow one to be reborn and achieve such an ability. What if we don't want this thing? "    

The Crown Prince frowned and said, "You want to seize his fortuitous encounter?"    

When the other aides heard this, they all perked up their ears and listened attentively.    

Those who could sit here were the Crown Prince's trusted aides. They would naturally speak frankly if there was anything they wanted to say.
