“It’s not that it’s impossible, but there are so many techniques—where do you plan to get them from?”

Liang Lu smiled confidently, “Our Liang Clan still has some foundations. Once I ascend the throne, the palace’s Scripture Pavilion is yours to use.”

Jiang Cheng sighed, “Then forget about it.”

Liang Lu immediately became anxious and argued, “You can help my brother, so why can’t you help me? Or do you think that the royal family’s resources are inferior to those of Capital University?”

“It’s neither.”

“Neither? Then what do you mean? Do you think that I can’t compete with Liang Qing and won’t be able to become the emperor?”

“I believe you’re stronger than Liang Qing,” Jiang Cheng said.

Liang Lu’s expression improved slightly, “Then are you afraid I’ll go back on my word? I’ll write you a promissory note, and you…”

“Fellow Daoist Liang, I’m not afraid of you reneging. It’s just that I think you might not be able to compete with your sister.”

“Which sister? Liang Pei?”

Liang Pei was the name of the third princess, the “Pride of Great Liang” that Jiang Cheng always thought about.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

However, Liang Lu herself couldn’t understand how a high school student like Liang Pei could compete with her for the throne.

Not to mention other factors, Liang Pei’s birth mother, Consort Xia, was not as favored as her own mother, Consort Li. Liang Pei’s own talents were also very average, her maternal family held no power—how could she become the emperor?

After much thought, the only possibility Liang Lu could come up with for Liang Pei’s ascent to the throne was if she herself was no longer present.

If Taixu Sect disposed of Liang Qing and she herself was unable to ascend the throne for some special reason, then the only one left eligible would be Liang Pei.

“So, you think something will happen to me?” Liang Lu looked at Jiang Cheng with suspicion.

Jiang Cheng: ???

“I had never thought that, but it seems that your highness seeking to trade the palace’s Scripture Pavilion for my talismans won’t come to fruition.”

Liang Lu’s CPU was overheating as she asked, “Why? As long as I don’t give up, becoming the emperor should be almost certain for me.”

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t answer this question.

His attitude led Liang Lu to start doubting herself.

Apart from unexpected events, would she truly give up the throne?

Liang Lu wasn’t sure.

But until this moment, her answer would definitely have been “no.”

Inside the library, Jiang Cheng and others were working enthusiastically, while outside, at Capital University’s campus gates, a female cultivator from Taixu Sect, tasked with monitoring Jiang Cheng’s movements, was caught in a dilemma.

Her job was to report on Jiang Cheng’s whereabouts so that Li Qingge and others could roughly estimate the progress of his talisman creation.

But just moments ago, she saw someone who should not have appeared at the gates of Capital University—Liang Lu!

The female cultivator hesitated whether or not to report Liang Lu’s presence to Li Qingge.

Eventually, she decided to report it!

“What! Liang Lu went to find Jiang Cheng!”

Li Qingge was shocked, “How many times has she gone to find Jiang Cheng? The first time? Is it the first time you’ve seen her, or the actual first time?”

“Okay, I got it, continue to keep an eye on them.”

After hanging up the communication talisman, Li Qingge had a bad feeling.

They had just managed to clear the path for Liang Lu’s ascension to the throne, only to turn around and find that Liang Lu was getting mixed up with Jiang Cheng!

Li Qingge didn’t object to Liang Lu dating, but that person absolutely could not be Jiang Cheng!

It was precisely because she knew Jiang Cheng that Li Qingge was aware he was a person with strong opinions and would never be content to be a mere prince consort in Great Liang.

If Liang Lu got involved with Jiang Cheng, either Liang Lu would influence Jiang Cheng, persuading him to stay in Liang Kingdom as a prince consort, or Jiang Cheng would influence Liang Lu, causing her to give up the secular throne and wholeheartedly seek the Dao in the Immortal Sect.

The worst outcome would be Liang Lu forsaking Taixu Sect altogether and being led astray by Jiang Cheng to become a disciple at Tongtian Sect.

Li Qingge had confidence in Jiang Cheng; he would never settle for being a prince consort in Liang Kingdom. Thus, any contact between Liang Lu and Jiang Cheng, regardless of the outcome, was something Taixu Sect did not want to see.

Li Qingge picked up the communication talisman, intending to call Mo Ningdan.

But then she put it down again.

Mo Ningdan wasn’t aware of Jiang Cheng’s capabilities, and even if she were informed, she might not realize the seriousness of the problem.

After much deliberation, Li Qingge made up her mind that she had to intervene personally.

She must shatter Liang Lu’s illusions about Jiang Cheng by herself!

…

Ever since Li Qing had severely beaten Liang Qing, he had been resting in the Prince Mansion.

Though the elixirs sent by Linlan Sect were very effective and his injuries healed quickly, even if he felt completely refreshed, he had no desire to get out of bed to cultivate.

Ever since he came under Gan Zhong’s scrutiny, Liang Qing had been living a rather miserable life, forced to cultivate daily, not understanding what the purpose was.

Those students, after all their cultivation, weren’t they easily defeated by his third-rank magical treasure?

Li Qing was formidable, right?

But she was still taken down by his “Enlightenment Experience Talisman” in a single move.

Though he could only defeat her once with it, it was enough.

The stronger Li Qing became in the future, the more it would prove the worth of the time he “instantly defeated Li Qing.”

Apart from cultivation, there was another matter troubling Liang Qing recently.

He inexplicably became the only prince who could possibly inherit the throne, drawing sudden attention to himself.

In this period, not only did various distant relatives from his own family frequently visit, but numerous officials whom he didn’t even recognize came to his mansion with gifts.

To keep the Prince Mansion peaceful, Liang Qing erected a large sign at the entrance, preventing those bringing gifts from stepping inside his mansion.

The sign read in large letters: Leave gifts at the gate, thank you.

The effect was immediate.

At once, the crowd bringing gifts at the entrance of the Prince Mansion became orderly.

In contrast, those not bringing gifts and still in a wait-and-see mode became uneasy and restless.

This demonstrated that the economic basis determines the superstructure.

Giving the sheer number of gift-givers, even after switching to a self-service gifting system, Liang Qing had to spend quite some time every day just listening to the housekeeper read the list of gifts.
