It is rare for a prince to be Cold-Blooded First. Usually, a prince is a confidant of the current emperor. After a change of emperor, the prince will usually step down from this position and hand over the Cold-Blooded Group to the new emperor.
However, once a prince joins the Cold-Blooded Group, it basically means that he has lost his right to inherit the throne, which is why princes rarely serve as the Cold-Blooded First leader.
That's why, if a prince were to Cold-Blooded First, he would definitely be the kind of person who dislikes power struggles.
This is what Vermilion Bird Emperor and others thought was impossible!
However, a prince is a prince after all, and he can be influenced at times. He may use his authority in the Cold-Blooded Group to do things for his own benefit or that of his brothers.
This is why it seems like such a likely scenario!
"I have no evidence!" Prince Longguang looked at Princess Longji and then said.
Originally, if Princess Longji had been killed, this explanation wouldn't have needed any evidence, since no one knew what Princess Longji was doing in the Xiangkong Empire, and therefore no one would object to this explanation.
And now, Princess Longji is still alive, and has given a very good explanation, a reason that no one will doubt!
In fact, Prince Longguang had considered that if Princess Longji hadn't died and it was discovered that the Cold-Blooded Group was behind it, he would question Princess Longji about it. He felt that there was a high probability that something was wrong. He never expected that Princess Longji went there just to see Ye Lang's family.
This was truly unexpected. Princess Longji, with such a sensitive identity, would risk everything to secretly infiltrate the Xiangkong Empire alone, just to see a few people—a visit that meant nothing to them!
In fact, Princess Longji originally wouldn't have gone for Long Anqi, but Ye Lang's presence made her unable to resist going, even at the risk of danger!
Even without Ye Lang's involvement, if Princess Longji had still risked going there, there might have been an unknown conspiracy!
This was also what Prince Longguang thought. He felt that even without evidence, he could be certain that Princess Longji was plotting something. In addition, he wanted to kill Princess Longji as soon as possible, so he was a little impatient and his considerations were not quite right!
However, this was only slightly lacking; if it weren't for Ye Lang's influence, it wouldn't have failed!
If it weren't for Ye Lang, that puppet would belong to the Cold-Blooded Group. Although Cold-Blooded Thirteenth is dead, he has completed most of it. As long as someone continues, it can be completed!
However, such a puppet wouldn't be so perfect, but it could still kill Princess Longji, and at that time, it wouldn't even involve the Cold-Blooded Group!
In fact, even without the puppet, the Cold-Blooded Group could still find an opportunity to kill Princess Longji, but the price they would pay would be very high, and they could fail at any time.
However, what just happened seems to prove that this possibility is very high. At least, if Ye Lang hadn't suddenly appeared, Princess Longji would already be dead!
"Then why did you kill Long Ji? For whom?" Vermilion Bird Emperor frowned. This was the result he didn't want to hear, although he also didn't want to hear any evidence that Princess Longji had a problem.
It's a very contradictory feeling. Everyone hopes for a win-win explanation in such situations, but reality is often so cruel!
"It's just me. I want to take your place. Once Long Ji dies, my brothers and sisters will start fighting amongst themselves, and then I'll have the chance to slowly eliminate them!" Prince Longguang said calmly, seemingly not for anyone else, but only for himself.
"... Is that really what you think? Then why did you accept this assignment? You know perfectly well that accepting this assignment is tantamount to withdrawing from the competition!" Vermilion Bird Emperor said, looking at Prince Longguang. He seemed to be searching for the micro-expressions on Prince Longguang's face, trying to capture some information.
"I accept, just to give myself more leverage. Everyone knows the power of the Cold-Blooded Group!" Prince Longguang said. "The Cold-Blooded Group has always had one problem: they haven't made contact with Cold-Blooded First and obeyed any of Cold-Blooded First orders. But what will happen to the Cold-Blooded Group if something happens to me, Cold- Cold-Blooded First?"
"..." The Vermilion Bird Emperor remained silent. He had considered this question before, but he hadn't expected it to come from the person he had chosen.
Every Vermilion Bird Emperor may have thought about this problem, but no one would have imagined that the problem would arise in their own generation. This is human nature; no one thinks the problem will be with them!
"That kind of Cold-Blooded Group will become a tool of Cold-Blooded First, and be controlled by him!!" Ye Lang suddenly interjected at this moment.
Princess Longji found Ye Lang's behavior somewhat puzzling. She knew Ye Lang well; he wouldn't bother with things that didn't concern him, and he was usually so confused that he wouldn't have such a clear mind.
"That's right, but someone has to lead the Cold-Blooded Group, and that's something that can't be avoided!" Vermilion Bird Emperor frowned.
It's an undeniable fact that the Cold-Blooded Group needs Cold-Blooded First, but it can't be like before, with one person in charge and no one supervising.
"That's your business. I just want to say that the person who wanted to kill my cousin this time was Cold-Blooded First, and it has nothing to do with Little Five and Cold-Blooded Seventh!" Ye Lang said directly. He didn't care about these things; he just wanted to show that Cold-Blooded Fifth and the others were innocent.
That's right, the problem with this mission is with Cold-Blooded First, and with the Cold-Blooded Group's mechanics. The other members of the Cold-Blooded Group are not at fault at all.
"Little brother, so you were waiting here. It seems you have a special relationship with this little girl." Princess Longji said with a smile, her eyes looking at Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Fifth standing together with a strange expression.
"Of course she's extraordinary. She's the only one like me right now, and I have to take care of her!" Ye Lang nodded and said.
"..."
Who's taking care of whom? It's all Cold-Blooded Fifth taking care of you!
"Can you take care of people?" Cold-Blooded Fifth could even raise any objections, Princess Longji had already questioned him, because it was absolutely impossible for Ye Lang to take care of people, at least in everyone's eyes.
"Of course!" Ye Lang patted his chest and said.
"Yeah, right!" Princess Longji flicked Ye Lang in annoyance.
"Hmph! Little Five, let's go!" Ye Lang pulled Cold-Blooded Fifth and prepared to leave. He didn't want to linger here. Even with Princess Longji around, he didn't like staying here.
Princess Longji was actually one of the reasons he left. Don't forget, he didn't like being with Princess Longji she always bullied him.
Having a good relationship is one thing, but being together is another!
