The Second Prince handed over the diplomatic managent rights of the Flying Leopard Empire to the Eldest Prince, while also suggesting to his father that the Eldest Prince should change the crystal stone distribution ratio of Purple Origin Star.
This task seed nearly impossible for the Eldest Prince.
Not to ntion the Eldest Prince, even if the Emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire personally stepped in, it would still be unsolvable.
However, as the Emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire, he did not directly reject the Second Prince's suggestion, but simply smiled slightly and said to the Eldest Prince:
"He'er, this matter is indeed difficult, but where there's a will, there's a way. You can try to do it, and it's okay if you can't change it."
"Father, my brother is intelligent and reliable, surely he can co up with a good solution for this challenging task."
The Eldest Prince, Wanyan He, glanced at his father, then at the smugly taunting Second Prince, knowing full well that the Second Prince, Wanyan Ying, was setting a trap for him. Yet, he did not refuse and said:
"Thank you, Father, for your trust. I will do my utmost to complete this task that relates to the empire's destiny."
After returning to the Prince Manor, the Eldest Prince first discussed the matter briefly with Liang Bao, but neither of them could think of a solution.
Thus, the Eldest Prince gathered everyone to brainstorm, hoping soone might have an idea to accomplish this impossible task.
Upon hearing the Eldest Prince's description, everyone shook their heads and sighed.
Xiao Gang said:
"Your Highness, why didn't you refuse at the scene? This is simply impossible!"
Fan Chen remarked:
"The Second Prince is so insidious. Knowing it's an impossible task, he still handed it to the Eldest Prince to handle; it's clearly a trap."
Liang Bao chuckled slightly and said:
"It's not that simple. Ever since the Eldest Prince returned to Wentian City and started actively participating in managing the empire, the Second Prince has seen us as a thorn in his side,
Over the past half a year, we've helped the Eldest Prince accomplish so things to stabilize the situation, and many people in the Imperial Dynasty speak highly of the Eldest Prince,
Now, the Second Prince wants us to settle the crystal stone mine distribution on Purple Origin Star, which is obviously a huge trap; not only us, but even the Emperor couldn't do it,
But if we fail, the Second Prince will spread rumors saying that the Eldest Prince's Genetic Evolution Talent is poor to begin with, and now he can't even handle affairs,
If so, how can we compete with the Second Prince for the empire's inheritance?"
The Eldest Prince, Wanyan He, nodded and said:
"Liang Bao is right. Father knows this is an impossible task, yet he didn't stop the Second Prince's proposal; in reality, he's giving a chance,
If I can complete this impossible task, my chances of fighting for the throne will greatly increase; otherwise, my chances will significantly diminish,
My Genetic Evolution Talent is indeed worse than the Second Prince, which is a fact. Without outstanding performance in managing imperial affairs, how can Father pass the throne to ?"
After the Eldest Prince said this, the others felt it made sense.
Wang Qian said:
"But, how can we solve this issue with the crystal stone distribution on Purple Origin Star?"
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
After a mont of silence, Gong Yu suddenly said:
"If Yang Xiao were here, perhaps he would have a solution?"
Liang Bao sneered and said:
"What solution could Yang Xiao have? Regarding the crystal stone mine issue on Purple Origin Star, I've heard a little. This matter has gone through a major war before finally calming down,
It's said the wild tribes on Purple Origin Star are very close with the Eldest Prince Long Aotian of the Great Dragon Empire,
Back then on Witch Star, the Youming Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire jointly attacked the Great Dragon Empire, and when the Great Dragon Empire's crystal stone mine resources were urgent, the Eldest Prince Long Aotian personally went to oversee mining on Purple Origin Star, ultimately teaming up with the local wild tribes to attack the Flying Leopard Empire and Youming Empire's mining bases on Purple Origin Star, claiming victory,
The crystal stone mines on Purple Origin Star were continuously transported to the Great Dragon Empire, supporting their war effort,
Precisely because this crucial crystal resource base on Purple Origin Star was cut off, the Youming Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire suffered significant blows, eventually leading to the Great Dragon Empire's turnaround,
Later, for so unexplained reason, the wild tribes on Purple Origin Star allied with the Great Dragon Empire to propose a new crystal resource distribution plan,
Due to a special alliance relationship with the wild tribes, the Great Dragon Empire received the largest share, while we, the Flying Leopard Empire, got the smallest portion,
Now to change this crystal resource distribution ratio is nearly impossible,
What solution could Yang Xiao possibly have?"
Liang Bao spoke eloquently; clearly, he had reviewed a lot of information about Purple Origin Star before the eting today and had gathered so fragnted facts and rumors.
Liang Bao was currently the Eldest Prince's most capable assistant, and the Eldest Prince had inford him of this matter a few days ago, but neither could find a solution, leading to today's closed eting.
Cui Yuan clapped his thigh and said:
"I rember that before we left, Yang Xiao seed to have a proposal, saying he would help the Eldest Prince accomplish several impactful things, and the first one was supposedly to change the Flying Leopard Empire's crystal stone share from Purple Origin Star. Isn't this the problem we are currently facing?"
Everyone was stunned, and it seed they vaguely rembered this, but at that ti, everyone thought Yang Xiao was joking, and no one believed he could actually change this situation.
The Eldest Prince, Wanyan He, sighed and said:
"It's a pity Yang Xiao is now at Flying Leopard Academy; otherwise, he might have so way."
Just as he was speaking, a guard rushed in from outside,
"Reporting to Your Highness, soone outside requests an audience."
The Eldest Prince's face darkened, and he scolded:
"Haven't I told you? I'm having an important eting today, no visitors allowed."
"Oh?"
The guard was visibly shocked, looking embarrassed, and lowered his head, saying:
"I apologize, Your Highness, I was careless. I'll go refuse the guest imdiately, saying you have prior engagents and won't see visitors today."
The guard said as he turned to leave.
Xiao Gang casually asked:
"Who is the guest outside?"
Xiao Gang had followed the Eldest Prince for over a decade, had a close relationship with him, and held a very high status within the Prince Manor, serving as the housekeeper.
The guard paused in his steps, turned back, and said:
"The person claims to be called Yang Xiao, a friend of Your Highness."
Everyone was startled.
Gong Yu imdiately exclaid excitedly:
"Wow, the savior has arrived! We were just talking about him, and here he is."'
The Eldest Prince, Wanyan He, imdiately stood up from his chair and quickly walked outside, and everyone else followed in a huddle.
The guard was left dumbfounded at the entrance of the hall, with a perplexed look, muttering to himself silently,
"What's going on?"
Xiao Gang turned back and shouted to the guard,
"Why are you still standing there? A close friend of His Highness has arrived! Quickly lead the way!"
"Ah? Oh! Okay!"
The guard responded thrice and hurried ahead of the crowd, only to realize the Eldest Prince was already impatiently and swiftly flying towards the courtyard gate.
