"This jade doesn't seem to be that valuable. Is it worth sacrificing your life for?" Princess Guangyan frowned as she asked in puzzlement.

Princess Guangyan had seen that jade pendant just now. In terms of texture, it was one in a million. However, it was not peerless in this world. Even if the quality of the jade was better than this, there were still quite a number of people who were on the same level as him. How could this piece of jade be so precious?

Fu Baoguo felt that he had been insulted. His face was flushed red from anger, and he was rendered speechless for a long time. When Yan Ling heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly. Liang He was the only one who seemed to be deep in thought.

"This jade pendant is a sacred relic passed down from our tribe for generations. It has nothing to do with Jinx. Even if it is just an ordinary stone, it definitely cannot fall into the hands of others. " After a long while, Fu Baoguo finally retorted.

"If it really is an ordinary rock, I'm afraid no one would be interested in it. How could it create so much trouble …" It wasn't that Princess Yaoyan didn't know either. She was intentionally flippantly and quietly standing to the side, blocking the way.

"You …" Fu Bai clenched his fists in anger. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu Ling.

Fu Li turned his head to look at Yu Ling who had been standing beside him. He saw her slightly shake her head at him, her eyes full of awkwardness.

This was indeed difficult. One was someone who grew up with Yu Ling, who had been her benefactor for many years, and the other was someone she loved. If these two were to put her in the middle, Yu Ling didn't know what to do.

Fu Baoguo had long since heard Yu Ling say that this princess was a very good person to her. At this moment, he naturally understood what was on Yu Ling's mind. Although he was angry, Fu Bai didn't say anything to stop Yu Ling from being troubled. He just turned his head away in anger.

Yu Ling felt a little relieved, but she also knew that things wouldn't end like this. On one side was the imperial edict, and on the other side was just a stranger. How would the Crown Prince choose? One could imagine.

Thinking about this, Yu Ling's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but clench her fists and peek at the two of them secretly.

Seeing that they had all quieted down, Liang He turned his head to Fu Baoguo and said, "You've just heard the princess say that this piece of jade isn't that precious, and there are many of the same quality …"

"His Highness the Crown Prince probably doesn't understand what I just said." Hearing Liang Hetty's words again, Fu Baoguo's expression turned even more unsightly.

Unexpectedly, Liang He was not angry. He only smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Young Master Fu, why don't you listen to what I have to say before making your decision?"

Fu Li suspiciously glanced at Liang He before silently stuffing the box a bit more back. He looked at Liang He with a guarded expression.

It wasn't for no reason. Fu Baoguo had already known that Liang He was Liang Yi's biological brother.

As his younger brother, he had cheated his tribe's holy treasure with a smile on his face. As an elder brother, his smile was very sinister. Who knew what he was planning? Fu Li was currently besieged like a fish on a chopping board. How could he not be cautious?

Yan Ling saw the smile on Liang He's face and thought about it. He seemed to know what Liang He was planning and could not help but smile in his heart.

"Isn't Young Master Fu trying to bring this piece of jade back? "It's not impossible. As long as you leave behind a piece of jade, I can go back and deform." Liang He rubbed his chin as he spoke.

"…" Fu Baoguo didn't understand what was going on. Although he didn't say anything, he looked at Liang He as if he was looking at a madman.

When Liang He saw this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Yan Ling immediately covered his mouth with a handkerchief and turned his head away, laughing merrily.

"Your Highness Crown Prince means that you can take this piece of truth back, Young Master Fu. However, Young Master Fu, you have to find us a suitable fake jade pendant and have us report to the Emperor. " Yan Ling added when he saw that all the other people were looking at him.

"Isn't this the crime of deceiving the monarch? "If you guys are discovered, the two of you …" Princess Guangyan suddenly grew excited.

"Just like you said, as long as you find a jade pendant that has the same texture as this one and carve it again, it should be fine." Yan Ling said helplessly.

"That is true, but he also said that this is a sacred artifact passed down from generation to generation in his tribe. The carving methods on this thing, as well as the type of the patterns on it, no one would know about it now, can you find a blacksmith like him? " Princess Guangyan voiced out her thoughts.

That was true. Although no one was looking closely, the third prince was the one who had brought back the jade pendant, so he definitely had a certain amount of understanding.

Liang Yi had always been at loggerheads with Liang Yi. If he could see that there was a problem with this jade pendant, it would be a troublesome matter. In the worst case scenario, he would have to face the crime of bullying the monarch.

With this thought, Yan Ling could not help but turn serious. Just now, when he spoke, he felt that Liang He's plan was a good idea. However, from the looks of it, it was very easy to see through it.

While Princess Zhaoyan was speaking, Liang He had also turned his head to look at the jade pendant on the table. He had never paid attention to it before, but now that he had taken a closer look, he realized that it was exactly as Princess Guangyan had said.

It seemed that the reason why Liang Yi tried everything and even used such a despicable method to deceive this jade pendant was not only because it was of good quality, but also because the carving technique of this jade pendant was rare.

If this was really the case, then there was no way that Liang Yi could not see that there was a difference in carving skills between the imitations. However, if he really wanted to find such a craftsman, even as the Crown Prince, Liang He didn't have that kind of confidence.

The situation that had just opened up seemed to fall into a dilemma again in an instant. Naturally, Liang He wouldn't take the risk and give Liang Yi a chance to grab onto his weakness.

As for Yan Ling, although she was kind-hearted, she would never let him go just because of someone she had never met before. He had put himself and Liang He in danger.

If he really couldn't find a suitable solution, then this matter could only be handled impartially. However, this was also a situation that Yan Ling did not want to see.

"Young Master Fu? What are you thinking about? " As Yan Ling tilted his head, he suddenly noticed that Fu Li seemed to be distracted. He could not help but ask in a curious manner.

"Huh?" Fu Baoguo was obviously still in a daze.

He looked excitedly at Yan Ling and Liang He, his voice somewhat agitated as he said, "Are you saying that as long as I find a suitable piece of jade and carve it into this shape, I will be able to bring the true divine object back?"

Yan Ling frowned. He didn't seem to understand the man's thoughts, but he still nodded his head.

"If that's the case, then it's much easier." Fu Li suddenly said with a complacent expression.

Without any reason, the others looked at each other with a strange expression on their faces. It was unknown whether or not this person had heard what they had just said.
