C499 There Was a Slip of the Tongue
"Elder Bai Qing, I advise you to turn a blind eye to Su Ling's death. That fellow Su Ling deserved to die! He was arrogant and had offended too many powerful figures. It could even be said that dying within the Hundred Thousand Mountain， is a good thing for both the Sword King Pavilion and the Danwu Academy, and it is much better than dying within the imperial capital. "
Shan Changkong, Vice President, narrowed his eyes and a hint of cunning flashed past them. His gaze landed on the First Prince and he said, "Sometimes, as a lowly ant, you have to show a humble attitude. This was because the moment an ant angered a powerful figure, he would die a graveless death. You see, Su Ling is a bloody example. "
Saying so, Shan Changkong and Vice President immediately sat down. He poured a cup of wine, stood up and walked towards the First Prince with quick steps.
"Congratulations, First Prince."
Shan Changkong, Vice President, standing in front of the First Prince, drank the wine and said with a smile.
The First Prince chuckled and poured himself a cup of wine as well. He took a sip and said with a smile, "Vice President, is there anything I can congratulate you for?"
In fact, the First Prince's heart was very open. He knew that Shan Changkong was congratulating him for nothing more than successfully eliminating Su Ling, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He was, after all, a prince, and was born in the imperial family, so he represented the royal family's interests.
No matter what, Su Ling was Luo Wushuang's direct disciple. If Luo Wushuang knew that Su Ling had died in his hands, then it would definitely cause the conflict between the Imperial Family and Sword King Pavilion to intensify.
Of course, the First Prince was well aware that once Su Ling was killed, Luo Wushuang would definitely suspect him. After all, everyone already knew about the conflict between him and Su Ling. As long as there was no conclusive evidence, who would dare to say that Su Ling was killed by his men?
This was mental cultivation.
When one reached the level of the First Prince, most of the time, one would not rely on martial arts, but power, or mental skills.
"Haha, no matter what, the First Prince's actions are definitely to eradicate a great disaster for the Imperial Capital. That fellow was vicious and merciless. To treat important people without any respect, damn it! Indeed, I deserve to die! "
Shan Changkong laughed.
The First Prince did not say a word and did not agree with Shan Changkong's words. He only stared at Shan Changkong for a long time and said: "That guy's death has nothing to do with me. After all, there are simply too many people who want him to die. "
"Yeah, that guy should die anyway. He just lacks a suitable opportunity."
He knew that the First Prince was deliberately shunning responsibility, but Shan Changkong was clear in his heart that if Su Ling was truly killed, the First Prince would definitely owe him a heavy debt. Unfortunately, Su Ling died in Hundred Thousand Mountain，, and there was no evidence.
Elder Bai Qing stood to the side. He had clearly heard the conversation between Shan Changkong and the First Prince.
This time, the most worrisome thing about Freshman Trial still happened.
Su Ling was too stubborn. Otherwise, he would have been able to avoid all these dangers.
But Su Ling insisted on participating in the Freshman Trial s, giving the First Prince an opportunity to take advantage of.
Without a doubt, Su Ling would definitely die this time.
With a serious expression, he left the City Lord's Mansion hall and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion courtyard.
During this period of time, new disciples continued to complete their Freshman Trial s and return to the City Lord's Mansion.
But amongst these new disciples, he had yet to see a new student with Sword King Pavilion.
Could it be as Shan Changkong that damnable fellow said, that those vicious forces in Corpse Sect, in order to kill Su Ling, had also eradicated all of those new students as well?
Thinking of this, Elder Bai Qing's face turned pale and he felt his hair stand on end.
Please don't!
This was the only thought in Elder Bai Qing's mind.
Since Su Ling was killed, as an elder, he should be blamed for it.
If all the participating disciples of the Freshman Trial were killed, then as an elder, he could only apologize with his life.
Time passed by second by second. It was already past noon, and the freshmen who did not have any Sword King Pavilion had still not returned.
This made Elder Bai Qing even more worried.
Something must have happened!
Elder Bai Qing frowned, his expression was extremely heavy.
The First Prince and Shan Changkong, Vice President, were still drinking. The two of them looked at each other without saying anything, but continued to drink until the First Prince was drunk. I'll send Eunuch Jin to kill him. If that guy doesn't die, then he's too monstrous. "
Hearing this, Shan Changkong and Vice President were shocked.
The heck!
In order to kill a small Su Ling, the First Prince had sent Eunuch Jin out.
Shan Changkong, Vice President, could be considered to have a high position in the Danwu Academy.
Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with Eunuch Jin.
Eunuch Jin was the First Prince's right-hand man.
At the same time, Eunuch Jin represented the will of the First Prince. This time, the First Prince had sent Eunuch Jin to kill Su Ling, which meant that the First Prince was determined to kill Su Ling.
In addition, Eunuch Jin was also one of the Heavenly Martial Stage s, Cultivating Warrior, who was holding a Sky-Rank Treasure Weapon in his hand.
Therefore, Eunuch Jin's overall strength was comparable to the low-level Cultivating Warrior of the Celestial Phenomena Stage.
This level of strength, even if placed within the Sword King Pavilion, could still be considered one of the top levels.
But now, in order to kill Su Ling, the First Prince did not even hesitate to use Cultivating Warrior of this level.
However, this also ensured that killing Su Ling was inevitable!
After all, when Eunuch Jin attacked, he brought along a few Cultivator of Heavenly Martial Stage with him to crush and kill Su Ling. It was as easy as flipping his hand over and over.
Shan Changkong, Vice President, was secretly delighted, but he wore a serious expression. He quickly patted the First Prince and reminded him, "First Prince, didn't you send Eunuch Jin to handle some matters?"
Hearing this, the First Prince's body suddenly quivered and he came to his senses. He looked deeply at Shan Changkong and smiled, "Eunuch Jin has been sent by me to protect Ninth Brother and Sister Poria Cocos."
"Mn, First Prince, today is the end of the Freshman Trial. I believe that Ninth Prince and Princess Fuling have already returned to City Lord's Mansion.
Shan Changkong chuckled as he stared at the First Prince.
"Alright!"
The First Prince nodded his head, a smile on his face. This Shan Changkong really knew how to conduct himself.
At this moment, the First Prince slowly stood up and walked towards the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. He said, "With Eunuch Jin protecting Ninth Brother and Poria Cocos, the two of them will definitely get a good rank in the Hundred Thousand Mountain， Trial."
