The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 140 Investigation And Anti-Reconnaissance

"Help me clear my name? I don't have any charges to begin with."

"Furthermore, I no longer need to rely on your Rising Sun Empire with my current strength. Take care of yourselves."

"But still, thank you for letting me leave."

With a slight smile, Chu Qianqiu was already thinking of leaving.

Since the other party was no longer bothering him, he couldn't be bothered to pursue anything with that person's subordinates either. It could be considered even.

In the future, he would go his own way, and the Fourth Prince would go his own way.

As for the survival of this empire, he didn't care.

If this empire were to be destroyed, he could just go to the neighboring Falling Star Empire.

Isn't Falling Star Empire stronger?

The prospects for development are also better.

This is also possible.

He could even create a force to protect himself with his own strength.

In any case, anything is possible.

At worst, he could retreat into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

There, all the "pets" he raised could scare off a group of empire powerhouses just by standing at his doorstep.

"Brother Chu, I respect your choice, but I still hope you can temporarily stay in Moon Phoenix City."

"I promise you, you will be proven innocent, and then you will have no charges. You will also gain more benefits in the city and become a city hero."

"The position of the Xiao family in this Melting City can now be occupied by your Chu family. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"And I just hope that you can have some more time to consider, consider our cooperation. We can each get what we need."

"I want to reshape this empire, and I can't do it without a powerful person like you with unlimited potential."

"And your ambition is definitely not limited to being a dependent, you will definitely soar to the sky."

"So, I am willing to be your stepping stone, let the Rising Sun Empire become a stepping stone for you, and help you climb higher peaks."

"I have confidence that with my abilities, I will make this empire more prosperous and make the resources more abundant."

"At that time, you will share all of this with me. I think you shouldn't refuse, after all, that is not a small fortune."

"I am willing to give you half of the national treasury, and the remaining half will be distributed to the people of the world. I will only take a portion to stabilize the empire and ensure its continuous development."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Tang Zhao's words didn't sound like lies at all.

After hearing Tang Zhao's words, Chu Qianqiu was moved and found it somewhat interesting.

Half of a national treasury of an empire would belong to him?

That would be a terrifying wealth, he could hardly imagine it.

With this wealth, wouldn't his Chu family be equivalent to an empire?

Is this guy really willing to give it?

"Are you sure?"

He confirmed again.

"Sure, Brother Chu."

"Although what I'm giving seems like a lot and looks like a scam, it's extremely disadvantageous to myself."

"But I know that one day you will go to a higher place, and this wealth is not much for you."

"The Upper Realm is your stage, and these treasures are just supplies for your journey."

Tang Zhao spoke, somewhat unexpectedly.

Chu Qianqiu himself had never thought that he could develop in the Upper Realm, but this guy actually said it.

To be honest, in his eyes, the Upper Realm has always been a mysterious existence.

He still hasn't figured out the situation in the Lower Realm's four continents, so how did the other party drag him so far, all the way to the heavens?

Could this guy be bragging?

"Don't joke around, I don't have that kind of strength, just based on a Profound Grade cultivation technique you mentioned?"

"You, the Rising Sun Empire, shouldn't you also have techniques of this level? I don't believe you don't."

"Brother Chu, we do have them, but we still don't deserve to be compared to what you possess."

"You must have a daughter, right?"

"Protect her well, she is definitely not an ordinary child."

Suddenly, Xiao Yuehan was brought up, and Tang Zhao's eyes became filled with envy.

Chu Qianqiu didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would bring up his daughter again.

"What? You've seen my daughter?"

"I've seen her once. I happened to pass by your house and saw that little one."

"Well, thank you for not laying a hand on my daughter. I appreciate your conscience."

"Brother Chu, you're joking. I wouldn't dare lay a hand on that little one."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't deserve to."

"You don't deserve to?"

"Yes, Brother Chu, don't you understand your own daughter?"

"Understand what? Why are you speaking in riddles?"

"It's nothing."

...

The two continued their conversation.

Chu Qianqiu found it difficult to understand Tang Zhao's cryptic words.

And at this moment, Tang Zhao was even more unable to understand.

Because when he first saw Chu Qianqiu's daughter, he felt a shock that an ordinary person couldn't give.

As a genius who had been cultivated in the imperial family since childhood and possessed exceptional cultivation talent, Tang Zhao had already reached the realm of Soul Formation after more than a hundred years of cultivation.

Therefore, despite being a hundred years old, he still maintained a youthful appearance due to his strong power, making him appear the same age as Chu Qianqiu.

With the foundation of a Soul Formation expert, Tang Zhao was confident that as long as he didn't deliberately reveal his cultivation level, no one would be able to detect it when he entered any city.

He often disguised himself and privately visited the streets, pretending to be an ordinary citizen, to observe the lives of the people.

He mastered the art of disguise and could easily change his appearance.

He occasionally appeared as a butcher, a scholar, a tofu seller, a merchant, an old lady selling vegetables, or even a beggar.

He "wandered" in various cities, and no one had ever noticed his true strength and identity.

Until he passed by the Chu family and saw Xiao Yuehan, he was shocked.

When he first passed by the Chu family's gate, he appeared as an ordinary citizen.

Tang Zhao originally wanted to see how the newly risen Chu family in Yuefeng City had quickly risen to power.

Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of the gate completely captured his attention.

At that time, the little girl was playing with her mother at the door, and he just took a longer look.

As a result, that glance made his soul feel a strong impact, as if his deeply hidden strength had been seen through by the other party with just one glance.

That feeling couldn't be wrong. He could only feel that kind of pressure from his father, the emperor, from the depths of his soul.

But now, he was sensing it from a little girl.

Moreover, the shock that this little girl brought him was even greater than that of his father.

To confirm whether this was his illusion or not, the next day, Tang Zhao disguised himself as a fortune teller and passed by the Chu family's courtyard.

On this day, the little girl was still playing at the gate.

They met again.

And this time, when the little girl saw him for the first time, she smiled.

Tang Zhao was puzzled, thinking that it was just an unintentional expression.

It wasn't until the girl spoke that he realized his identity had long been seen through by the other party.

"You, why are you here again?"
