He paused for a moment and continued, "As for why the Twilight Society supports the second brother instead of you, I really don't understand. My understanding of the Twilight Society is really limited. Perhaps your mother is no longer in power in the Twilight Society. The reason is really hard to guess!" Li Qiankun's smile became more bitter. Obviously, he knew nothing about the inside story.

Li Xingyun wanted to interject, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was suddenly speechless, at a loss for words. He frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this series of events was truly overwhelming.

After a moment's silence, Li Xingyun finally couldn't help but ask, "But..." However, he stopped as soon as the words came out of his mouth, because he really couldn't think of what to say next.

Finally, he decided to ask the question in his mind: "Have you always known about Ye Xiaoyu's existence?" Li Xingyun's voice revealed a hint of surprise. Obviously, this question had been lingering in his mind, leaving him puzzled.

If Li Qiankun knew about Ye Xiaoyu's existence from the beginning, then it means that he was not the one who attacked Ye Xiaoyu. However, who else besides Li Qiankun could have done this? This is really puzzling.

"Of course I know!" Li Qiankun explained solemnly, "Ye Xiaoyu came with your mother, Ye Qingqiu, to assassinate me. She brought all the consequences upon herself. I have done my utmost by not slaying them all!"

As their conversation deepened, more and more secrets began to surface. Although Li Xingyun got some answers, at the same time, the questions in his mind continued to grow like a snowball.

The power of the Twilight Society is a well-known fact, and as its leader, Ye Qingqiu must be incredibly powerful. So, how did Li Qiankun manage to survive such a close-range assassination attempt by such a master? Clearly, there are many questions.

"Back then, my mother was able to ascend to the position of president of the Twilight Society. Her strength was definitely above the Transcendence Realm. With her abilities, how could you possibly have escaped her assassination, and even severely injured Ye Xiaoyu?" Li Xingyun narrowed his eyes, staring at Li Qiankun closely, and continued to ask.

“Hehe…” Li Qiankun gave a dry laugh. His face, which was already a little old, turned red at this moment. He looked extremely embarrassed, as if someone had exposed a secret in front of him.

He calmed himself down for a moment, then explained, "This happened because your mother showed mercy and didn't truly use her full strength. I, on the other hand, relied on the profound foundation of the Shenwu Empire to severely injure Ye Xiaoyu. It was also because of your mother that I ultimately refrained from killing Ye Xiaoyu!"

Every word Li Qiankun said hit Li Xingyun like a hammer in his heart. Each and every incident proved to him that Li Qiankun's words were true. However, despite the facts being so clearly laid out before him, Li Xingyun still found it difficult to accept them deep down.

"Then..." Li Xingyun's voice suddenly grew weak, and he slowly sat down, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant. His mind was a tangled mess, with all sorts of thoughts intertwined and unable to make sense of them.

He never imagined that his two biggest enemies would be his father and his mother. This was too absurd, too ridiculous!

Li Qiankun looked at Li Xingyun's distraught state, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart. He sighed softly, then said, "Go back, child. The imperial edict appointing you as Crown Prince has been issued, and I will also hand over the power of regent to you. When you are able to truly control the entire country, I will abdicate without hesitation!"

After saying this, Li Qiankun's face lit up with a gratified smile. He slowly stood up and walked towards the door with a slightly unsteady gait. As he walked, he murmured to himself, "Every generation has its own talents! Heaven has been very kind to the Li family of the Shenwu Empire! Very kind!"

Li Qiankun walked out of the barrier with steady steps, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. His figure seemed so small in the blockade of the three people from Ye County, but he revealed an unspeakable loneliness and determination.

He walked slowly like this, without any hesitation or pause, as if he was the only one left in the world. However, deep in his heart, he hid a huge secret, a secret he had never revealed to anyone, and even he himself didn't know whether he should tell it.

The three men from Ye County watched Li Qiankun leave quietly. They did not try to stop him. After all, although they held high positions, they were still only subjects. They would never show any disrespect to Li Qiankun until Li Xingyun spoke.

When Li Qiankun's figure completely disappeared from sight, the three people from Ye County looked at each other, and seemed to see a hint of worry in each other's eyes. They immediately rushed behind the screen without hesitation, wanting to see what was happening to Li Xingyun.

When they entered the screen, they were met with a shocking sight—Li Xingyun, as if lost in thought, stared blankly at the chessboard before him. He showed no reaction to Li Qiankun's departure and the arrival of the three men from Ye County, as if completely unaware of the changes around him!

Ye Xian's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, suffocatingly dark. He had never seen Li Xingyun like this before. He stepped forward tremblingly and called softly, "Prince...Prince?"

However, Li Xingyun seemed to be under a spell and had no reaction. He continued to stare at the chessboard like a wooden chicken, as if there was some fatal temptation on the chessboard that was bewitching him!

"Prince!!!" Ye Xian's face was full of worry, and he sighed anxiously. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed Li Xingyun's shoulder as if protecting a fragile treasure, and called out again!

"Yeah!" Li Xingyun's eyes were like the stars covered by fog, slowly focusing, and the spirit in his eyes gradually recovered like the morning light at dawn. He turned his head and looked at the three people from Ye County in a daze, slowly moving his seemingly stiff neck, and then slowly stood up like a person who had just recovered from a long illness.
