Chapter 1997: I Have No Expectations

Fourth Brother, if you obtain the inheritance of the demon emperor during this trip to the imperial ancestral temple, your fortunes will definitely differ greatly from the past, the third prince commented with a smile.

Even though it has only been several days since Fourth Brother has come home, Brother has heard Imperial Father mention multiple times how Fourth Brother is gifted with unusual talent and insight. Most likely, only someone like Fourth Brother can catch the ancient inheritances fancy.

Duan Yue smiled without saying anything, merely giving the second and third princes mocking looks.

These two people were being too eager!

They were already anxious to put pressure on him when he hadnt even gone to the imperial ancestral temple yet.

On the other hand, although his eldest crown prince brother was a bit sickly, his brains and insight was not something those two oafs could hold a candle to.

No wonder even though he had been ill all these years, no one was able to shake his position as crown prince.

The crown prince of the Ultramarine Province smiled. Second Brother, Third Brother, the demon emperors inheritance also relies on luck.

That is true. The second prince pressed his lips into a smile. When the most outstanding member of our Rong Clan, the Qing Va.s.sal Prince Rong Qing, was born, it was said that the sky was streaked with resplendent colors, and daytime lasted for three days and nights in the entire Ultramarine Province without turning dark.

Duan Yue nodded smilingly. He had already heard a lot of legends about this Qing Va.s.sal Prince along the way before even stepping foot into Phoenix Imperial City.

This Qing Va.s.sal Prince was two years older than him. Apparently, he was the youngest person in the entire Ultramarine Province Continent to break through to divine realm cultivation before the age of 25.

As for the legends concerning this Va.s.sal Prince Rong, there were numerous wildly vivid versions.

Duan Yue alone had heard no less than 17 versions, and the most ridiculous one said that Va.s.sal Prince Rong was born with eight heads and 16 arms!

Even spiders werent so horrifying

Three days after the Qing Va.s.sal Prince was born, the people from the Council of Elders carried him to the imperial ancestral temple. The second prince smiled with slight schadenfreude. Yet he did not obtain a shred of the demon emperors inheritance.

Mhm. Duan Yue tilted his head and tapped his chin. That really is unfortunate.

Ho, Fourth Brother, there is something you are unaware of. Gifted imperial clan members like the Qing Va.s.sal Prince have another chance to enter the imperial ancestral temple. After 18 years, they get a second attempt at the ancient inheritance.

Oh. Duan Yue nodded his head.

But unfortunately, outstandingly gifted as the Qing Va.s.sal Prince is, he still was unable to obtain the recognition of the demon emperors inheritance.

Duan Yue nodded emphatically and concluded comprehendingly, Brother is persuading me not to have too much expectation! Without expectation, there naturally wont be disappointment. Many thanks for your reminder. Younger Brother cannot thank you enough.

You? The third prince was momentarily at a loss for words.

He indeed wanted this exceedingly gifted fourth brother to know that it wasnt that simple to obtain the demon emperors inheritance. Naturally, he had selfish motives to dampen this persons confidence, but wasnt this young man too cooperative!

He hadnt even said anything, yet this fourth brother had already taken over and said such demoralizing words. This guy who didnt follow convention made him lost for words, with no idea how to respond.

The crown prince of the Ultramarine Province, Rong Li, smiled faintly. He took the teacup the servants handed him and sipped from it. Ah-Yue, We heard that n.o.ble Consort Duan is feeling slightly unwell from the fatigue of the long journey.
