Zhu Houzhao brought Cheng Fei to the imperial prison, but Cheng Fei still didn't believe him. Because he had been an orphan since he was young, without parents. Although he recognized Aunt Lan, Cheng Huan did not have a mother.
However, Cheng Huan had always told Cheng Fei that he was one of the orphans she had adopted. Because she was afraid that others would find out about her identity, she had put in a lot of effort.
"There are some things you don't know. When we meet your father later, Zhen will tell you everything. Now, you only need to know that I've been looking for you for six years.”Zhu Houzhao didn't explain much and brought Cheng Fei to the ninth level of the imperial prison.
Zhu Houzhao was now the emperor. Although his power was taken away by Zhu Bujue and Cao Zhengchun, he was still the emperor. Thus, this time, it was even smoother. No one dared to stop him.
"Master, this disciple is here to see you!" Zhu Houzhao brought the delicacies and wine into the ninth floor of the imperial prison.
"Hahaha…this is the first time you've come to see an old man like me in six years. But why did you bring someone over?”
Zhu Houzhao hadn't arrived yet, but Gu Santong already knew everything. Even the fine wine and delicacies that Zhu Houzhao had brought along, as well as the rumors, could not be hidden from him.
"Hahaha…Master, your nose is still as sharp as ever. Your perception is getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that his master had not been idle for the past six years.”Zhu Houzhao did not keep him in suspense. He brought Cheng Fei, wine, and delicacies to Gu Santong.
"Master, how have you been these six years?”Zhu Houzhao took out the delicious food and wine from the basket and placed them in front of Gu Santong. He looked at the white-haired Gu Santong and felt a little sad.
He was about the same age as Zhu Bujue, and their internal energy cultivation was about the same. However, Zhu Bujue still had a head full of black hair, while Gu Santong's hair had turned white. The difference between them was self-evident.
"These six years, I've been living quite well. Every day, you would send people to bring me food and wine from the cave entrance. Although he didn't have his freedom, it was still not bad.”Gu Santong was very open-minded as he ate and drank while laughing.
"By the way, you look like you're already an emperor. How's your martial arts cultivation?”
Although Zhu Houzhao had released the Emperor, in Gu Santong's eyes, the Emperor was no different from an ordinary person. He would not change his attitude towards Zhu Houzhao just because he released the Emperor.
"Haha…I won't hide it from you, Master. I've already mastered the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art and the Power Absorption Technique.”Zhu Houzhao said proudly.
"Pfft…"
Gu Santong, who was originally eating and drinking heartily, suddenly spat out the wine and meat in his mouth. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was prepared and dodged it in advance. However, Cheng Fei wasn't so lucky and was sprayed all over.
"What did you say? He could already transform? Impossible, how could it be so fast? Back then, Laozi was hailed as a martial arts genius, but it took him 19 years to transform for the first time.”Gu Santong opened his eyes wide and scanned Zhu Houzhao's body.
"Hehe…Master, you might not know this, but this is the benefit of power and money. As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. I have a large number of natural treasures to consume, and there are many vicious martial arts experts in the imperial prison for me to cultivate. Thus, he was able to master Indestructible Diamond in just six years.”
Looking at Gu Santong, who was in disbelief, Zhu Houzhao did not hide anything and told Gu Santong everything that had happened during his practice. This included the fact that he had absorbed the evil martial arts expert.
"Sigh…the descendants of the royal family are indeed the descendants of the royal family. They are not comparable to paupers like us. It was really infuriating to compare people. Presumably, the old pig had also taken advantage of this back then.”Gu Santong sighed.
In fact, Gu Santong was not a pauper. He was considered a millionaire compared to the average person. However, it was still far from being comparable to the royal family. One was a millionaire, while the other was in charge of the world. How could they compare?
"Master, if you think that way, you're underestimating my Imperial Uncle. As far as I know, he didn't get his power that way.”Zhu Houzhao shook his head and laughed contemptuously.
"Hmm? Is there something else?" Gu Santong's body trembled as thoughts kept churning in his mind.
"Master, after so many years, with your intelligence and wisdom, you must have already guessed it. That's right, my Imperial Uncle's power was almost all obtained through the Power Absorption Technique.”Zhu Houzhao said faintly.
"He has mastered the Art of Energy Absorption, so I'm not surprised that he can absorb energy.”Gu Santong shook his head. He was not surprised by Zhu Houzhao's words.
"But, what if your crimes are all because of him?”
"What did you say?"
Gu Santong suddenly raised his head, and his gaze immediately became sharp.
"Back then, your crime was not only provoking the martial arts world, but also killing more than a hundred experts from the eight great sects. "But you don't know that they all died because their inner strength was sucked dry by me. Then, I'll push all the blame on you.”
"As expected! Although I defeated the experts of the eight great sects, I didn't kill them. Later on, they suddenly died for no reason. But I was too lazy to explain at the time, and it was useless to explain. I just don't understand. We're brothers, so why would he do this?”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's answer, Gu Santong calmed down. He was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. Therefore, he had guessed it long ago. It was just that he could not understand it.
"No, you understand!" But Zhu Houzhao shook his finger!
"You mean…Suxin?"
"That's right, she's your cousin, your wife Suxin!”Zhu Houzhao sighed.
"Speaking of which, this Imperial Uncle of mine is also considered to be deeply in love with Master's wife. Back then, the late emperor did not allow him to marry his master's wife because she was already a married woman. "However, later on, you challenged all the martial arts experts in the world and caused chaos in the martial arts world. Therefore, the late emperor promised him that if he could capture you, the late emperor would allow him to marry his master's wife. However, he knows that his martial arts are far inferior to yours…"
"So he sucked dry more than a hundred experts from the eight great sects and then came to me for a decisive battle?”
"That's right, that's it!"
"What a pity. He never thought that Suxin would die in our duel.”
When Gu Santong talked about Su Xin, he also felt sorrow. When he was young, he didn't understand love and regarded martial arts as his only pleasure. But when Su Xin died, he realized what was the most important.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Master, you are wrong."
"I was wrong? Yes, I was wrong…"
"No, I said you were wrong, not that your choice was wrong. It's just that…Master's wife isn't dead!"
