You Want a Fake as a Scapegoat? How Could I Let You Have Your Way?

"Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Luo Zhen asked in confusion, looking at Lin Xie whose expression was changing.

Lin Xie took a deep breath and pointed towards the Liu Clan:

"Didn't you notice something was wrong?"

"Brother Lin, are you referring to that imperial prince of the Liu Clan?" Luo Zhen asked in return.

Lin Xie was taken aback and looked at Luo Zhen:

You know?

"You don't know?" Luo Zhen asked again.

"No." Lin Xie was a little confused and asked:

How did you find out?

As soon as he finished speaking, he added:

Don't ask me that!

Luo Zhen looked at Lin Xie strangely and said:

"I'm quite familiar with that prince of the Liu Clan, and the difference between the two of them is so obvious that you can tell at a glance."

"Are you very familiar with the Prince of the Liu Clan?" Lin Xie was taken aback and looked at Luo Zhen with suspicion.

"In the past," Luo Zhen nodded and said:

"Back when we were at the Five Symbols Sect, he wanted to take me as his disciple, but I didn't agree."

"He accepted you as his disciple? You didn't agree?" Lin Xie shook his head:

"Get to the point, stop beating around the bush."

Chen Mingxuan glanced at Lin Xie and gave him an approving look.

"I!"

Luo Zhen took a deep breath:

"That's his fault. If he hadn't hidden his true identity back then, how could I have disagreed?"

His words conveyed a sense of regret and remorse.

Lin Xie heard this and his expression changed:

"So, keeping things hidden is an old habit of theirs."

"Hiding it out might feel stifling, but it's safe."

As Luo Zhen spoke, he gestured to Lin Xie:

"When you came over just now, weren't you even more secretive than him?"

"That's true."

Lin Xie pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze back to Liu Tianming and snorted coldly:

"Trying to find a counterfeit product to scapegoat? We'll never let you have your way."

You're kidding, he's even taking out loans to spread rumors.

If it doesn't work, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Let alone whether it can attract the things you want to attract.

At least on the Liu Clan's side, they shouldn't even think about struggling in this matter!

As Lin Xie was thinking about it.

Luo Zhen then looked at Chen Mingxuan and asked:

"Senior Chen, when he looked at it back then, did it not only injure his scalp but also damage his brain?"

The Liu Clan's imperial prince was not the same one as before; it was obvious at a glance, yet he still seemed so surprised.

Not to mention, it was the other party who made him bald in the first place.

You don't even remember that?

Chen Mingxuan did not answer, but glanced at Lin Xie and said:

"A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged; I understand your thinking."

"But don't rush, even if you don't say anything, someone will eventually."

Lin Xie's expression shifted, and his gaze turned to look:

"Did Senior Chen have planned this all along?"

Chen Mingxuan shook his head:

"I'm not the only one who's at odds with the Liu Clan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xie nodded:

"That's good."

A crowd gathered.

At this moment, countless eyes were focused on the Liu Clan and Yue Clan.

Among them, more people pay attention to the Yue Clan.

As is now widely known, this news originated from the Yue Clan.

If that's the case, the Yue Clan must know how to activate it.

As for those who are paying attention to the Liu Clan, they have a different idea.

If the Yue Clan truly knew, the Liu Clan would definitely not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Once the Emperor's Tomb is opened, the Liu Clan will surely make their move.

If the Liu Clan makes a move, the situation will inevitably become chaotic.

When the situation becomes chaotic, one can always gain an advantage from the chaos.

But we've waited a while now.

Neither side moved, and it was unclear what they were waiting for or how long they would wait.

People's attention began to wander.

"The Liu Clan is still the Liu Clan after all. Although the Yue Clan has achieved considerable success in recent years, the gap between the two is still quite obvious."

One person looked left and right, sighing softly.

"That's not necessarily true." The other person shook their head.

"The Liu Clan's most recent Emperor Realm ancestor is long gone, while the Yue Clan's is much closer. Moreover, we can't judge a book by its cover; who knows exactly how many powerful figures are still inside the Yue Clan's cloud boat?"

"That's true." The man from before smiled.

"I also feel that the Yue Clan has some hidden experts. For such an important event as the Emperor's Tomb, it's really too few top-tier powerhouses to have only a handful of them come."

"It must be said that the Yue Clan, like the Liu Clan, has become quite adept at keeping things hidden."

"That's probably still not as good as the Liu Clan," another person interjected, pointing towards the Liu Clan's side, and said:

"The Liu Clan even used a fake imperial prince this time. When it comes to hiding things, they're the best."

"Really?" The person who had spoken earlier was taken aback and looked over.

Immediately, his expression became strange:

"You know what, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. But upon closer inspection, something's really off. They've placed the Imperial Son in a less important position, while a complete stranger is sitting among the powerful members of the Liu Clan."

"That's why the Liu Clan is said to be an ancient imperial clan." The man smiled.

"Using a deception to conceal the truth suggests that they anticipated the risks of this trip and, to ensure the safety of the true prince, thus brought a fake one."

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!" exclaimed the ancients, then uttered a sound of bewilderment.

"But isn't this a bit unnecessary?"

"Everyone saw it in the Emperor Dao, and it happened not long ago, so it's probably still fresh in everyone's memory. Who are we hiding it from now on?"

The man shook his head:

"There will always be people we haven't met before, and besides, I've heard that the area we're in now isn't part of the Misty Clear Realm anymore. Guess who the Liu Clan is putting on this act for?"

"Hiss." The man in front of him gasped softly, looking at the speaker with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Your analysis is truly insightful, a real eye-opener for me. If I hadn't heard this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have grasped its profound meaning. I've learned so much!"

"I'm just guessing."

The man smiled, and Yao Yao glanced at Lu Changzhi, who was in the Liu Clan, and said with a smile:

"This true imperial prince of the Liu Clan has probably had his fill of the limelight; he seems rather disheartened now."

"If my estimation is correct, the Liu Clan might find a chance to hide him soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person hesitated for a moment before saying:

"I don't understand again."

"Oh? Why don't you understand?"

"If the intention is to conceal the truth, wouldn't it be safer if he had never shown himself at all? Now that he has revealed himself, isn't it just creating more potential dangers?"

"I've thought about that too," the man said after a moment's thought.

"But upon reflection, it must be to give outsiders a sense of certainty. Everyone knows what the true imperial prince looks like. If only a fake one appears from the beginning, although the world knows that the Liu Clan's imperial prince will come, it will never be 100% certain."

"His appearance now, though increasing the risks, will make it clear to the Misty Clear Realm that he has come to conquer this Emperor's Tomb."

"Given the previous deeds of the Emperor Dao, simply knowing that he is coming will probably be enough to make many people calm down and reconsider what they should be fighting for."

After a pause, the man smiled and shook his head:

"After all, this prince of the Liu Clan is indeed extraordinary."
