To Philip’s surprise, the sixth and second princes approached him not long after Conlay entered the cemetery.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Philip knew that they were trying to win him over.
The sixth prince was the first to speak. “I think there must have been a big misunderstanding when you fought against the fire phoenix general earlier, but seeing that my ninth brother has someone like you by his side, as his elder brother, I feel relieved.”
Philip said nothing. The sixth prince’s opening remark was not interesting.
The sixth prince glanced at the second prince and continued, “But with your talent, don’t you think it’s a waste to stay in that desert oasis?”
Philip understood the sixth prince’s meaning very well. He wanted to arouse Conlay’s ambition to come back and fight for the throne.
The second prince spoke at this time, “Conlay is back to atone for his crime. You haven’t given him an explanation about the fire phoenix general yet, but you’re already trying to poach his people.”
Hearing this, the sixth prince immediately retorted, “I just think Philip is a great talent, unlike you, who encouraged the Great Preceptor to let Conlay suffer the pain of purgatory.”
Philip said, “That’s his choice. No one can influence it.”
With that said, Philip sat cross-legged under the scorched towering tree and began to practice.
Seeing this, the two knew that Philip had ended this conversation, so they left.
One day was enough to do many things.
It was enough for the eighth prince to deploy his troops around the fire phoenix royal family. It was also enough for the second prince and the Great Preceptor to lay out their strategies.
