This was enough for Lu Xiao to use this incident to build up his image as an upright and honest person.

But Emperor Qing would definitely not follow his wishes.

That's why Lu Xiao decided to reveal some information that was not important to him.

For example, his strength.

For example, Emperor Qing's secret.

Of course, in order to prevent Emperor Qing from being too wary, he also had to show some weakness.

That's why today's play happened.

Throughout the entire scene, Lu Xiao's injury story was false, but everything else was true.

There is not a single falsehood.

Now, it's Emperor Qing's turn to make the decision.

He has only two choices.

Emperor Qing also saw it clearly at this time.

With the perception of a Grandmaster, he could clearly sense that Lu Xiao's use of the power of heaven and earth was no less than that of a true Grandmaster.

In this situation, unless Lu Xiao was completely unprepared.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to kill Lu Xiao instantly.

If Lu Xiao couldn't be killed instantly, the result would be just as Lu Xiao had just said.

Either he escapes, or there's a bigger fight between the two of them.

Regardless of who it is, the secret that he is the Grand Master will inevitably be exposed.

The consequences will inevitably be the same as Lu Xiao said.

This path seems to exist, but in fact there is no choice.

This leaves only one other way.

That is to temporarily give up the intention to kill Lu Xiao.

But if this is done, the four emperors of Qingqi Temple will have to give in.

Firstly, regarding the issue of Lin Gong, he certainly could no longer influence Lu Xiao's opinion.

Secondly, he also had to be wary of Lu Xiao in the future.

After all, Lu Xiao is only half a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

In other words, once he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely become a true Grandmaster.

At that time, Lu Xiao's hidden dangers were definitely far greater than they are now.

If you want to kill him then, it will be difficult.

Because Lu Xiao was already on guard against him.

Putting aside the matter of Lin Gong for now, in the eyes of Emperor Qing, Lin Gong is completely unimportant.

But the things that happened later were something Emperor Qing was completely unwilling to see.

If he had no other choice, Emperor Qing really didn't want to choose this.

Seeing the conflicted expression on Emperor Qing's face.

Lu Xiao decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, have you ever considered a question?"

Emperor Qing subconsciously asked: "What's the problem?"

Lu Xiao asked, "Can we really kill all the great masters in the world?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Emperor Qing wanted to say yes, after all, there were only a few great masters in the world.

In the past, he was confident that as long as he planned properly, he could definitely kill the other Grandmasters.

But now, he was doubting whether he could do it.

Lu Xiao continued, "Looking back through history, there were no Grand Masters before this era. All Grand Masters have emerged in the last twenty or thirty years. Whether it's Ku He, Si Gu Jian, or even your Majesty, you can all be considered the first generation of Grand Masters. But I believe you will definitely not be the last. So, Your Majesty, do you think all Grand Masters can be killed off?"

Emperor Qing wanted to argue.

He wanted to say that the four great masters in the world today only existed because of that woman.

But on second thought, it didn't seem right.

At least Ye Liuyun didn't rely on the techniques left by that woman to become a Grandmaster. He relied on his own talent.

Emperor Qing had previously believed that Ye Liuyun was a special case, and that his breakthrough was due to the insights he gained after his battle with Wu Zhu.

If I had to say it, it was also related to that woman.

Therefore, he always believed that as long as the other Grandmasters were killed, no new Grandmasters would appear in this world.

But now, Lu Xiao was sitting right in front of him.

Lu Xiao has nothing to do with that woman.

Since he has the potential to become a Grandmaster with his own talent, doesn't that mean that others will also have the potential to do so in the future?

So he can really kill all the Grandmasters?

Lu Xiao continued, "In my opinion, whether it's the times or the martial arts, they've always been moving forward. Hundreds of years ago, even ninth-grade warriors could be counted on one hand. While there are still not many ninth-grade masters today, their number has more than doubled, and there are even Grandmasters out there."

"According to this law, in the future, as long as the path of martial arts continues, there will inevitably be more and more masters in this world. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the Grandmaster realm will not be a rare commodity. Who knows, later generations may even blaze a trail for the Grandmaster."

"Of course, the above does sound a bit far-fetched. Speaking of the present, as far as I know, Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of the Tianyi Sect of Northern Qi, reached the Ninth Rank Upper at the age of fifteen. Wang Shisanlang, a disciple of the Sword Reed Sect of Dongyi City, is equally gifted in martial arts. The Chief of the Sixth Division of my Inspection Institute, Shadow, is even among the top three Ninth Rank Uppers in the world. Eunuch Hong in the palace has been able to pretend to be a Grandmaster and deceive the world for so many years. He must have long been the number one below Grandmaster."

"In my opinion, these people definitely have the potential to reach the Grandmaster level. What they lack is just an opportunity to break through."

"Therefore, I believe that your ambition to unify the world does not necessarily require killing all the other Grand Masters. You might as well try a different approach."

Having said this, Lu Xiao stopped and looked at Emperor Qing quietly.

Chapter 145 Lin Xiang's Visit

It was already afternoon when we left the palace.

Emperor Qing ultimately did not answer Lu Xiao's last question.

But, it doesn't matter.

Lu Xiao had already given Emperor Qing an opportunity. If he couldn't seize it, he couldn't blame anyone else in the future.

Lu Xiao himself had no aversion to Emperor Qing.

Lu Xiao even felt that Emperor Qing had the potential to become the greatest emperor of all time.

Over the years, the Southern Qing Kingdom has grown increasingly powerful. In a sense, it can even be said that the signs of a prosperous era have appeared.

Although Ye Qingmei was responsible for this, Emperor Qing's contributions cannot be erased.

Lu Xiao was not interested in the throne.

While sitting on the throne means gaining unparalleled power, it also means shouldering the responsibility of the entire world.

Lu Xiao is a bad guy.

Also a lazy person.

He wants power, but not too much responsibility.

Therefore, no matter what level his strength reaches in the future, he will not be interested in that position.

He just wants the power to decide who will take that position at any time.

Therefore, he did not care who sat on the throne.

But then again, it's better for a capable person to sit there than a useless person.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Xiao had always felt that Emperor Qing was more suitable than anyone else to sit in that position.

Many people dislike Emperor Qing simply because he killed Ye Qingmei.

But if Lu Xiao were in Emperor Qing's position, he would also kill Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei was too naive. To want to realize the so-called "Great Harmony" in this era was nothing but a foolish dream.

Everything she did from the beginning was an enemy of the entire world.

Therefore, in Lu Xiao's opinion, her death was not at all unfair.

It's even inevitable.

Of course, all this is said on the premise that Emperor Qing must first give up the idea of ​​being an enemy of Lu Xiao.

As long as he could let go of this, Lu Xiao did not suggest helping him unify the entire world and help him become the greatest emperor of all time.

But if Emperor Qing couldn't let it go and continued to have conversations with Lu Xiao as an enemy, that would be another matter.

Lu Xiao had no idea what Emperor Qing was thinking at this moment.

As the two of them talked, Emperor Qing's attitude towards Lu Xiao changed significantly.

It seemed that the hostility had been temporarily put aside.

But human hearts are unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

As for Lin Gong's matter, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it.

There's no point in bringing this up now.

From the moment Emperor Qing didn't dare to kill Lu Xiao directly, Lin Gong's fate was sealed.

The news that Emperor Qing had summoned Lu Xiao quickly spread throughout the capital.

Lin Xiang, the eldest princess, the crown prince, the second prince

All the forces in the court, all the officials, including the Inspection Office, believed that after Lu Xiao left the palace, they would release Lin Gong immediately.

Unfortunately, with the resulting disturbance and the public attention he received, Lu Xiao didn't do anything about it upon returning to the Inspection Office.

Even until evening, the spies from various factions still hadn't seen Lin Gong emerge from the Inspection Office.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

That night, Prime Minister Lin and the Crown Prince entered the palace overnight.

No one knows what they said to Emperor Qing.

However, at the next morning's court session, both of them took leave and did not attend.

Emperor Qing announced that the Crown Prince was unwell and needed to recuperate for a month.

As for other words, Emperor Qing said nothing.

But all the officials in the court knew at this moment that the battle that had lasted for nearly a month was finally over.

Even if Prime Minister Lin and the Crown Prince joined forces, the final victor would still be the Inspection Office.

Yes, that's right, one place.

Not the entire Inspection Office.

Because the Inspection Office had already lost the day before yesterday.

And this time, it was a comeback.

No one could figure this out.

But that's the truth.

At the same time, all the officials in the court began to pay real attention to Lu Xiao, the director of the Inspection Bureau.

An inner courtyard of the Inspection Court.

Deng Ziyue came to report.

"Sir, Minister Lin requests an audience."

In the study, Lu Xiao put down the file in his hand and looked up and replied.

"Please come in, Minister Lin."
