The elder’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, falling on Li Guanyi’s face, but the youth’s expression did not change.

Elder Xue shook his head, stretched out his hand, and flicked the young man’s forehead, saying irritably, "Such words, if spoken by outsiders, this old man would have already struck with the Shattering Jade Fist. You lad, you’re a calf not afraid of tigers because you’re new-born."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "It is because I believe in Elder Xue."

The elder, feeling helpless, said, "You suddenly bring up this matter, you must have gained something. Let’s hear it."

Li Guanyi said, "The Emperor has another illegitimate son."

This statement made the elder’s eyes instantly sharpen, but then he continued to sip his tea. Li Guanyi said, "It seems Elder Xue is not surprised."

The elder replied, "If you live to be as old as I am and are not one of those Martial Artists who secludedly cultivates in the Martial World, naturally you have seen many storms. The current Emperor likes to weigh his options, but throughout history, those who weigh their options either successfully ascend the throne and then purge their opponents, or are overthrown."

"Just like clenching a fist, one must eventually strike."

"The crux of weighing options is the difficulty in doing so. I previously thought it was because he has always been cautious, coming to power by weighing different factions, which nurtured such a temper in him; I also suspected whether this really was so, or if he had some trump card hidden."

"Now that you mention this illegitimate son, everything makes sense."

Li Guanyi shared the various matters concerning Hou Zhongyu, only concealing the Qilin and his origins, to which the elder said, "So it appears, on the surface stirring up the relationships between civil servants, martial generals, and the Royal Family, but in reality, he is staking his own offspring to reap the benefits of the fishermen."
