The Imperial Tutor suddenly sat up.
Had the Prince of a different surname dug up his ancestral grave?
Asked his ancestors to bask in the sun?
He couldn't believe such a thing.
Not to mention that he had helped the Prince of a different surname keep the secret of the lost Imperial Sword.
Even if he didn't know the Prince's weakness,
He would never dare to do such a thing.
After all, digging up someone's ancestral grave was an extremely immoral act.
But...
Was this a dream?
The feeling of waking up with a racing heart in a dream was very real!
*Slap!*
The Imperial Tutor raised his hand and gave himself a resounding slap.
The intense pain brought him back to his senses.
His eyes were filled with earth-shattering killing intent.
He didn't know why the Prince of a different surname would do such a thing.
Nor did he want to know.
He had to return to Sishui City to ask for a clear explanation.
"Return to the ancestral grave!"
------
A quarter of an hour later.
The Imperial Tutor, along with a group of experts, traversed the void.
And arrived at the ancestral grave of Sishui City.
Before he even landed,
He saw that the ancestral grave was unrecognizable.
The burial mounds had all been flattened, and burial pits had appeared.
Looking down from high in the sky, it was a scene of devastation.
Not only that,
He also saw more than a dozen coffins exposed to the sun.
"Speak, who exactly are you?"
"Why did you desecrate the coffins of my ancestors?" The Imperial Tutor angrily landed on the ground, gripping a cold long sword.
The Prince of a different surname raised his eyebrows, "You can't even recognize me?"
"Are you blind?"
"Silence!" the Imperial Tutor roared, "Do you think you can sow discord by transforming into the Prince of a different surname?"
"The friendship between us is not as fragile as you think."
"Speak, who exactly are you?"
He did not believe that the person before him was the Prince of a different surname.
After all, there was no enmity between them.
Moreover, he had helped the Prince of a different surname keep the secret of the lost Imperial Sword.
The Prince of a different surname should have been grateful to him.
How could he come to dig up his ancestral grave?
The Prince of a different surname laughed heartily, "Brother Zheng, you are right, our friendship is indeed indestructible."
"Precisely because of this."
"I personally took the initiative to invite your ancestors out for some sun."
"Look."
"I even bought them a lot of excellent offerings, as well as the fine wine I've been hoarding in my mansion!"
At this moment,
The Imperial Tutor believed the Prince of a different surname's identity.
His face darkened, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, "Gao Xi, you must give me a reasonable explanation for today's events, otherwise, don't blame me, Zheng, for turning against you."
"Pah!"
The Prince of a different surname spat viciously, the saliva landing on a coffin in front of him, his eyes icy cold, "Turn against me?"
"Hmph!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The Imperial Tutor's brow furrowed instantly.
Although he was furious,
He did not lose his reason due to his anger.
After all, he knew the Prince of a different surname's fatal weakness.
As long as he informed the Great Emperor about the lost Imperial Sword,
The Prince of a different surname would face utter destruction.
Most importantly,
He clearly knew that he knew about the Gao clan's loss of the Imperial Sword,
Yet he dared to be so brazen and commit such an outrageous act.
This made him cautious.
He stared intently at the Prince of a different surname, "Your Highness, we have known each other for ten thousand years. Although we occasionally have different political opinions in court, our personal relationship has always been good."
"Why did you dig up my ancestral grave today?"
"Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Pah!" The Prince of a different surname spat again, his entire being exuding hostility, "You ask me if there's a misunderstanding? What have you done? Don't you have any idea?"
This question
Completely stunned the Imperial Tutor.
He was certain that he had done nothing to wrong the Prince of a different surname.
However,
Given the Prince of a different surname's status and temperament,
If he had not wronged him,
He would never have come to dig up his ancestral grave.
"Brother Gao, is this related to Chen Nan?" The Imperial Tutor thought of Chen Nan's visit to the Prince of a different surname's mansion yesterday, vaguely feeling it was related to Chen Nan.
But he had no idea what role Chen Nan played.
Without further thought, the Imperial Tutor said, "Brother Gao, I don't know what Chen Nan said to you."
"But one thing is clear."
"This Chen Nan is extremely cunning."
"He resorts to any means necessary."
"Do not fall for his trickery and be driven apart by him."
With that, he released an invisible energy, enveloping himself and the Prince of a different surname, preventing others from eavesdropping on their conversation, "Moreover, I have always suspected that Chen Nan killed your son and stole the Imperial Sword."
Upon hearing this,
The Prince of a different surname immediately sneered, "You, as the Imperial Tutor, are slandering an innocent person with baseless accusations. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
If he didn't know that Chen Nan was the Director of the Supervisory Celestial Department,
The Prince of a different surname might have believed the Imperial Tutor's words.
But now,
He did not believe a single word the Imperial Tutor said.
Not even a punctuation mark.
"Zheng, I'm telling you, I know who Chen Nan is better than you!" The Prince of a different surname grew more and more furious, "You say he's cunning and resorts to any means necessary?"
"I'll say it again, pah!"
"Chen Nan is an upright and honorable gentleman."
"Do not judge a noble person with the heart of a villain."
"Also, today I have dug up your ancestral grave, what can you do to me?"
The Imperial Tutor was enraged, "Gao, aren't you afraid that I will inform the Great Emperor right now about the Gao family's loss of the Imperial Sword?"
A strong killing intent surged in his heart.
He wished he could immediately inform the Great Emperor about the Gao family's loss of the Imperial Sword,
And have the Great Emperor annihilate the entire Gao clan.
Unexpectedly, the Prince of a different surname did not show the slightest panic. He even grinned, revealing a playful smile, "Do you know the way to the Imperial Palace? Would you like me to escort you to the Imperial Palace to see the Great Emperor?"
The Imperial Tutor's heart trembled violently.
Why was this scoundrel so fearless?
He even offered to take him to the Imperial Palace to see the Great Emperor?
Who could tell me.
What on earth had happened here?
The Prince of a different surname continued, "Brother Zheng, today I merely invited your ancestors out for some sun. It's a small favor, no need for thanks!"
"Farewell!"
With that, he left a meaningful smile.
He took the members of the Gao clan and soared into the sky, disappearing from the Zheng family's ancestral grave in an instant.
A middle-aged man looked extremely wronged, "Big brother, why did you let him leave?"
"That's right, the Prince of a different surname dug up our ancestral grave, he should be executed a thousand times over!"
"Otherwise, how can our Zheng clan stand in Fengdu City?"
The Zheng family members were all furious.
The Prince of a different surname digging up their ancestral grave had deeply angered them.
Even if the other party was the high and mighty Prince of a different surname,
The Zheng family was not to be humiliated!
"Silence!" the Imperial Tutor roared, "I am the patriarch of the Zheng family, and I will naturally not allow someone named Gao to insult my ancestors and get away with it."
"You all rebury the coffins of our ancestors."
"I will now go to the Imperial Palace and ask the Great Emperor to preside over justice for our Zheng clan."
He intended to inform the Great Emperor about the Gao family's loss of the Imperial Sword.
