The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

When he went to court the next day, Xiao Yuheng listened to Hu Xingtong's advice and took on the task of controlling the rain disaster in public.

Therefore, with the efforts of everyone in the court, the prayer platform was set up on the third day. On the fourth day, the old emperor issued an order to let Xiao Yuheng, as the crown prince, stop the rain disaster for the people in public.

On this day, Hu Xingtong and the other three hid their figures and stood in the corner of the crowd, looking at Xiao Yuheng, who was dressed in brocade and jade robes on the prayer platform. He stood facing the wind, standing tall among the mortals, showing his immortal style. However, the gloom between his eyebrows made people feel distressed.

"Is it really a good idea to use this method to make Xiao Yuheng leave the place where he grew up?" Hu Xingtong couldn't help but wonder about the meaning of what she did. She always felt that his actions were too cruel to Xiao Yuheng.

Your method is already the most comfortable for Xiao Yuheng. If you use ordinary methods, Xiao Yuce will not give up. The two brothers are bound to fight. The favor of the two dragon energies in fate has already explained everything. The two dragon energies each favor their own masters, so a fight is inevitable. Xiao Yuheng is the most likely to ascend the throne as Human Emperor, but he has no ambition to do so. Even if he becomes emperor, he will still have resentment. Now this may be an opportunity. If he can figure out his future path this time, whether he becomes an emperor above all others or a free and easy immortal cultivator in the world, it will be good for him.

Hu Xingtong stopped talking. She already understood what the system meant. Perhaps what she did was just to speed up Xiao Yuheng's choice, not to force him. On the contrary, Hu Xingtong's actions were equivalent to giving the player the opportunity to make a choice to Xiao Yuheng himself, and letting him decide his own ending. In this way, no matter what the ending was, it would be the happy ending that Xiao Yuheng wanted most.

On the prayer platform, Xiao Yuheng looked up at the azure sky, his mind echoing with his mother's dying words: Heng'er, if one day you really don't want to be the prince, just take your uncle's family and leave the country. You can go and see the mountains and rivers, and you don't have to stick to your responsibilities here.

Mother, I found my uncle's family. They lived in seclusion in a small county town on the border. They lived a very comfortable life and didn't seem to need my care.

Xiao Yuheng raised his foot, and an invisible step condensed in the air. Xiao Yuheng just walked like that, and walked into the void, feeling the gentle cool breeze on his face and the dampness of the water vapor in the air.

Turning his head and looking at his father and younger brother behind him, Xiao Yuheng had the idea of ​​letting go for the first time. He recalled that when he was a child, he was staring at a butterfly in a daze when he was elected by the people. At that time, he seemed to want to go out and see the scenery, just like a butterfly, flying around and enjoying the scenery.

Xiao Yuheng closed his eyes, feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, and relaxed himself wholeheartedly. At this moment, he seemed to have figured something out. He knew very well that he was not suitable for that position. He was capable but not as good as his younger brother. He had the people's support but none of it was managed by himself. In the eight years since he left, his younger brother had done so much for the country. He was good at scheming and governance, and was more suitable for that position than himself. He was more suitable to be the faith of the country and the people's will, to be the prince who existed in name only!

After figuring everything out, Xiao Yuheng raised his hand, and a purple stick knife appeared in his hand out of thin air. This scene made the people watching on the ground exclaim. No matter what the comments were, Xiao Yuheng had only one firm belief in his heart at this moment, and that was - freedom.

Looking at the stick and knife in his hand, Xiao Yuheng seemed to feel a resonance from it. At this moment, he looked at the distant sky, with hanging clouds and falling clouds. It seemed that such scenery was more suitable for him at the moment.

"You don't have a name yet, so why not call you Chuiyun?" Xiao Yuheng felt the buzzing of the stick knife in his hand, and seemed to feel his joy. Xiao Yuheng chuckled, and the belief in his heart became concrete at this moment.

At this time, a huge black cloud gathered in the sky, covering Xiao Yuheng's head with darkness. The rumbling thunder in the black cloud made the people watching below worry about their prince.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Your Highness, this is very dangerous. Don't get hurt."

All these things, when heard by Xiao Yuheng, made him feel even more guilty.

"It doesn't matter. Today I, Xiao Yuheng, will pursue my immortal path here. Everyone, just watch. This time I am just myself. I am neither the prince of Li Kingdom nor the cultivator Xiao Yuheng who is dedicated to serving the people!" As he spoke, he pointed his Chuiyun stick and knife at the sky. Xiao Yuheng's realm rose in an instant, and he completed the Dan formation in an instant. Purple spiritual light flashed from Xiao Yuheng's body, and the air pressure in the sky suddenly rose in the flash of lightning.

"Thunder comes!"

"Boom—Crack—"

A huge purple thunderbolt struck down, accompanied by a cold white lightning, hitting Xiao Yuheng's body, making people's scalp numb.

"I just asked him to pretend, but I didn't expect him to really go through the tribulation!" Hu Xingtong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he looked at the spectacular scene in front of him.

Seeing this, everyone looked towards Xiao Yuheng anxiously, silently praying in their hearts that this fake show could end smoothly.

[The thunder tribulation of choosing a path, the Heavenly Dao favors Xiao Yuheng, and he has chosen a path.] The system explained at the right time, but Hu Xingtong had no intention of responding. She could see that this was a necessary ritual before the Heavenly Dao invited him. So, of the five people seated at Tanluo, apart from Sun Ze, who had already chosen a path, and Tan Yuruo, who had chosen the Path of Killing, only Han Qianyu had not yet chosen a path.

The thunder tribulation continued, streaks of lightning swirling down like dragons. Each strike terrified the heavens and earth. But Xiao Yuheng, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, remained undefeated. Instead, he harnessed the power of the thunder tribulation to further advance his cultivation. His figure loomed amidst the lightning, a purple aura intertwined with the thunder, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

"Heng'er, have you... thought it through?" The old emperor looked up at the ground, his eyes full of shock and love. Perhaps he should have predicted eight years ago that his son would take the path he is on now.

"Father, I have my own path to pursue. Please support me!" Xiao Yuheng's voice penetrated the thunder and reached everyone's ears clearly. His tone was firm and calm, as if he had found his inner home.

As the thunderbolt gradually weakened, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the sun shone on the earth again. The golden light shone on Xiao Yuheng's body. His figure slowly landed on the prayer platform. His temperament was completely different from before. He exuded an otherworldly aura, as if he had really become an immortal. However, the blood-soaked appearance showed how miserable he was.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The people around took a step forward but were stopped by the soldiers. They looked at the broken and weak Crown Prince and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the gloomy atmosphere in the void disappeared, and the air was filled with the warmth of the sun, as if the cloudy day had turned into a sunny day.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best to overcome the tribulation this time. My body is broken and I cannot fulfill my duties as the crown prince. Please depose you and let me leave with peace of mind." Xiao Yuheng's gaze was deep and distant. He seemed to have seen his future path. Looking at the old and frail man in front of him, his emotions were comforted at this moment.

Xiao Yuce was shocked at first, then looked at Xiao Yuheng's bloodstained face and said, "Royal brother, you can ask the imperial physician to take a look."

At this time, Sun Ze led everyone to remove the invisibility spell, flew onto the prayer platform, and said loudly: "My junior brother is seriously injured. We are here to take him back. If he is not treated in time, his life is in danger."

The old emperor felt reluctant to hear this, and he also knew that this was just Xiao Yuheng's excuse to refuse. He had always known that Xiao Yuheng did not like this position.

But... the old emperor looked at the person on the prayer platform. The person's eyes and eyebrows were very similar to his mother, and his temperament was very similar to his uncle. He was gentle and romantic. Perhaps, in such a big world, leaving the country was not his final destination.

"Okay, Heng'er, go ahead. If you feel better, come back and visit. Your brother is in Liguo, so you can rest assured." The old emperor's voice was a little choked, but more of it was firmness and support.

So, under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Yuheng seemed to have let go of his worries and fell heavily into Sun Ze's arms, as if he had lost all life.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Hu Xingtong stood up and gently waved his hand. Countless golden-red spiritual lights poured into the brows of everyone present. They didn't know what this was, but they only heard Hu Xingtong say, "At this time, you... the spiritual light bestowed by the former Crown Prince Xiao Yuheng can bless the people of Li Kingdom with good health. From now on, Li Kingdom will no longer have a Crown Prince Xiao Yuheng."

After saying that, the five figures dispersed and disappeared from everyone's sight as if they had never appeared.
