Chapter 5994

The palace, the golden palace.

After Lin Bai returned from Prince Chen's mansion, he knew that Emperor Chu would send someone to announce him, so he made plans early.

"Meet Your Majesty."

When he came to the Golden Palace, Lin Bai stood three steps away from the dragon chair, bowing his hands to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu looked at Lin Bai with a smile on his face, "King Chen has already told me the whole story."

"That sword is in your hand?"

"Yes." Lin Bai replied truthfully.

Emperor Chu sighed softly, "Prince Twenty-One has liked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and liked playing the wind and playing the moon, and he didn't care much about cultivation."

"So much so that he doesn't know much about the rumors in the cultivation world!"

"It's been many years since he got that sword, but he didn't know the meaning of that sword, so he just gave it to Huakui of the Moon Palace."

"It's ridiculous to say."

"If Jiuyou Demon Palace and Shenglian Palace hadn't all followed him and put him under house arrest in the palace, he probably still doesn't know the use of that sword."

Emperor Chu laughed uncontrollably and shook his head again and again.

As expected... What Emperor Chu said all confirmed Lin Bai's guess.

Lin Bai was curious...why didn't the 21st Prince hand over the sword to the royal family after he got it?

In the end, after much deliberation, the only conclusion reached was that the twenty-first prince did not know the origin of the sword.

If the twenty-first prince knew the purpose of that sword, he would definitely give it to the royal family.

Even if they don't give it to the royal family, at least they won't give that sword to Miss Moon Dance casually.

Combined with Emperor Chu's words, many doubts in Lin Bai's mind can be solved one by one.

Why did the twenty-first prince leave that clumsy and rough painting in the palace.

If he didn't know the origin of the sword, how could he leave clues?

The reason is... when the twenty-first prince was taken away by the Nine Nether Demon Palace, he was already controlled by the disciples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

And put him under house arrest in the palace.

At that time, the twenty-first prince was aware of the use of that sword, but it was impossible for him to tell the location of that sword to Jiuyou Demon Palace.

It wasn't until the deeds of the Jiuyou Demon Palace were revealed that the twenty-first prince could no longer be under house arrest, so he had no choice but to borrow the hand of Zhang Peixuan, a disciple of the Holy Lotus Palace, to take the twenty-first prince out of the palace.

The twenty-first prince knew that his trip was likely to be a narrow escape, so he intentionally left a painting as a clue.

So far, all the mysteries have been solved.

"King Chen has already informed me of your request." Emperor Chu looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

"Then I don't know what His Majesty's consideration is?" Lin Bai raised his head and asked Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu stared at Lin Bai, smiled and stretched out three fingers, "Thirty percent."

"The royal family doesn't talk too much. The 20% you give is too little, and the royal family only needs 30%."

"Yes." Lin Bai agreed without thinking about it.

If the royal family wants 30%, then Lin Bai's allocation is... 20% for the crow, 20% for the Tianshui sect, 30% for the royal family, and the remaining 30% belongs to Lin Bai.

I agreed so directly... It seems that there are still less... Chu Emperor gave a wry smile in his heart.

It seems that before Lin Bai came to the palace, he had already considered that I would increase the price...Emperor Chu was thoughtful.

"In addition, you must help the royal family rescue the twenty-first prince." Emperor Chu added another condition.

Although the treasure key of Jiuyou Demon Palace was found, the twenty-first prince is still in the hands of Jiuyou Demon Palace.

"No problem, I will do my best." Lin Bai also agreed.

Lin Bai also promised Miss Yuewu that she would rescue the twenty-first prince.

Even if the royal family doesn't make this request, Lin Bai will still find a way to save the twenty-first prince.

"The key to the treasure is in your hand, so do you have any clues to the treasure map?" Emperor Chu asked curiously.

"No." Lin Bai smiled, "This is another reason for me to cooperate with the royal family."

"I wonder if the royal family has any clues about this treasure?"

Emperor Chu was thoughtful, "Go back and study this sword carefully. If my guess is correct, there will be relevant numbers on it."

"The number label of each sword corresponds to the corresponding map."

"Only by finding the corresponding key and map can a treasure be opened."

"If you finish the research, tell King Chen the treasure number that this key unlocks, and then the royal family will start looking for clues to this map!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly and agreed together.

Emperor Chu asked again: "Do you have any plans for rescuing the twenty-first prince?"

Lin Bai smiled mysteriously, "I guess I already have a plan."

"Oh?" Emperor Chu was a little startled, "Department of Zhao Xing and the Dark World have been investigating for so long, but they still haven't found where the remnants of the Nine Nether Demon Palace imprisoned the twenty-first prince?"

"Did you find it so quickly?"

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "There's no need to look for it. The Nine Nether Demon Palace knows that the key is in my hands, so they will naturally come to me."

"It also makes sense." Emperor Chu pondered for a while, "Then what do you mean...using yourself as bait to lure Jiuyou Demon Palace to come to you?"

"But in this way, aren't you very dangerous?"

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, there is nothing absolutely safe or dangerous in this world."

"If you want to get rewards, it's natural to take risks."

Lin Bai's words made Emperor Chu's eyes shrink, and he secretly sighed in his heart that Lin Bai was really not simple.

"Since you already have a plan, then the emperor will not say more."

Emperor Chu said to Lin Bai again: "If you are in danger, go to Zhao Xingsi and Bailu Academy. These are undoubtedly the safest places in the imperial capital."

Lin Bai smiled, "There is a third place."

Emperor Chu frowned and looked at Lin Bai... the third place? What is the third place?

Lin Bai smiled and looked around, "I'm afraid there is no place in the entire Eastern Demon Realm that is safer than the Golden Palace of Emperor Chu."

"Hahaha..." Emperor Chu laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Well, if you are in danger, you can also run to the palace."

"If there is nothing wrong, you can go back first."

"I will take my leave."

Lin Bai clasped his hands, exited the Golden Palace, and left the palace.

After Lin Bai left, Emperor Chu chuckled again, "This Lin Bai... is really interesting."

In the darkness, a gloomy voice came, "If Lin Bai is a friend, it is naturally the best."

"If he becomes an enemy, it is because he is eliminated as soon as possible."

"If you wait for this person to grow up, he will definitely become a serious problem for the Chu State."

One person said: "Isn't he engaged to Princess Shenxian? Sooner or later, he will be a member of our royal family."

Another person said: "Although there is a marriage contract, they are not married."

"You can all see... Lin Bai's heart is still towards Tianshuizong."

Emperor Chu raised his hand, signaling to be quiet, "Don't be so anxious, Lin Bai can't be bought with a little favor."

"He can't escape the control of Chu State for the time being, so let's wait and see what happens."
