The rewards for the side quests kept being broadcasted in his mind. Hu Xingtong was just wondering why the reward was directly announced this time. He was also wondering why Tan Yuruo's side quest was also completed at the same time.

"Did Tan Yuruo give up the mission?"

"Yes, Xiao Yuce will succeed to the throne smoothly, and Tan Yunuo will no longer need this mission. However, Xingxing, I must remind you that you must spread the news of Xiao Yuheng's death as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong frowned and asked in confusion, "That's not right. Tan Yuruo's mission is linked to Xiao Yuce. If Xiao Yuce is worried about Xiao Yuheng, he will definitely let Tan Yuruo carry out the mission. If Tan Yuruo doesn't want to carry out the mission, he needs to continue to delay. Then how can I complete my mission? You asked me to announce the news of Xiao Yuheng's death, which means Xiao Yuce is worried?"

Of course, he couldn't be reassured. Xiao Yuheng's last-minute change of plan resulted in the original plan of his death on the spot not happening, which caused Xiao Yuce to become suspicious and naturally he couldn't be reassured. Now the old emperor was still alive, but once the old emperor died, Xiao Yuce would definitely find someone to cause trouble for the Fanyun Sect and assassinate Xiao Yuheng at the same time.

"Then my mission is not completed." The system's answer made Hu Xingtong even more confused, and more and more questions appeared in his mind.

[Tsk, it seems I need to tell you about the original setting of Xiao Yuheng and Xiao Yuce. In the original setting, the old emperor and the late queen were a young couple. In the old emperor's generation, there was only the old emperor himself, and both the side branches and the main branch were no longer alive for various reasons. The old emperor's throne came because of this reason.]

Later, after the old emperor ascended the throne, he made the former empress his empress and refused to take any more concubines. This also caused dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court. Think about it, the royal family had few children to begin with, and the only royal family member was unwilling to expand. The people and ministers would all think it was the woman's fault, and they would write letters to the emperor accusing the empress of jealousy and unvirtuousness, and the rumor spread. In fact, the old emperor did not want the empress to suffer any injustice, so he refused to take a concubine. At that time, Xiao Yuheng was already born, so the old emperor naturally made Xiao Yuheng the crown prince. That same year, the empress did not want the old emperor to worry about this heir, so she secretly found a minister's daughter for the old emperor and personally brought her to the old emperor's bed. This is how Xiao Yuce came into being.

This behavior angered the old emperor for a long time. Later, with the help of the Empress's family, Xiao Yuheng grew up smoothly, and his position as Crown Prince became increasingly secure. Around this time, Xiao Yuce's mother died. Adolescence without a mother can be somewhat distorted. When Xiao Yuce's mother was still alive, the two brothers had a close relationship. Later, with Xiao Yuce's mother's death, the boy's heart changed. Instigated by those around him, he came to believe that the Empress had murdered his mother. Filled with resentment, he poisoned the Empress. Later, when the Empress died, Xiao Yuce spread rumors that a method of resurrection existed in a fairy mountain overseas. So, Xiao Yuheng embarked on a journey to seek the Immortal Realm.

Later, Xiao Yuce, dissatisfied with the existence of the Empress's maternal family, exiled Xiao Yuheng's uncle's family to the border when he was in power. The Crown Prince's influence was completely eradicated, and the old Emperor had already been poisoned, with his days numbered. Therefore, the old Emperor and the late Empress both wished for Xiao Yuheng to stay away from the court, leave the country, and live his own life. Now, Xiao Yuheng's public dethronement of his own Crown Prince position is the outcome everyone has been waiting for, and it also means your mission is successfully completed.

"How can it be perfect? ​​No one asked Xiao Yuheng if he was willing. No one told Xiao Yuheng the truth about his mother's death, but they preconceived that what they did was for his own good. But Xiao Yuheng cared about his mother so much. How could he possibly seek help from the immortals when he knew why his mother died?" Hu Xingtong questioned the system. She was unwilling to accept this judgment and even felt that she had done something wrong.

[Xingxing, calm down first. Think about it, consider the bigger picture. If Xiao Yuheng knew the truth about his mother's death, he would definitely kill Xiao Yuce. Two problems would arise at this point. First, Xiao Yuheng ascended the throne out of responsibility, going against the wishes of his mother and father. At the same time, Xiao Yuheng married and had children to continue the next generation, but his ability was insufficient, and his governance of the country might not last long. Second, because Xiao Yuheng had practiced Taoism in the Fanyun Sect, his existence disrupted the balance of the mortal world. He used immortal magic to kill the Emperor candidate who also possessed dragon energy, disrupting the balance of the selection process for the Emperor, thus affecting the human race's destiny, which indirectly affected the destiny of the cultivation world. So, from the overall perspective, Xiao Yuheng cannot win. But from our perspective, Xiao Yuheng does not need to lose either. Living with the prayers of everyone, knowing nothing is not necessarily a bad thing. Xiao Yuheng's destiny did not originally include the path to the throne.]

Hu Xingtong felt a headache instinctively. She understood what the system said, but subjectively she didn't want Xiao Yuheng to be like this, so she could only keep persuading herself to understand Xiao Yuheng's fate.

Come to think of it, Xiao Yuheng's path is indeed the only way to go. Just as the system said, Xiao Yuheng is not suitable for that position in terms of character setting and personality. Being responsible and gentle is a good thing. There is no shortage of wise and gentle monarchs in history. But compared with Xiao Yuce, who also possesses the dragon energy of the emperor, being gentle is a mistake. Let's put it this way, the premise for Xiao Yuheng to be suitable for that position is to have external help. Outstanding right-hand men can help Xiao Yuheng become a wise monarch. But now, Xiao Yuheng's strongest helper has been exiled to the border by Xiao Yuce, which means that Xiao Yuheng is out.

In this struggle for imperial power, Xiao Yuheng had been eliminated invisibly long ago. According to the inference of fate, if Xiao Yuheng was not destined to ascend the throne from the beginning, then in fact everything he did was to help him find his true self. A free and easy life is indeed very suitable for Xiao Yuheng, this romantic, gentle and funny man.

Thinking of this, Hu Xingtong immediately sent a message to Tan Luo in the sect, asking about the fate of Xiao Yuheng and Tan Yuruo.

Soon, Tan Luo sent a message back. Looking at what Tan Luo said, Hu Xingtong showed a relieved smile on his face. Tan Luo said: Both of them have a bright future in the immortal world.

In that case, let's not talk about it. A smooth path to immortality means that this matter has long been over. Putting kinship and blood feuds together may not be as difficult to choose as one might imagine.
