The first prince was still skeptical about this. After all, it was too strange for him. However, it looked like he didn't have a choice. If ever he declined, he knew that he would die without knowing how. This type of man like this in front of him, they were those who weren't afraid of anything as long as they could achieve what they aimed.
"What are thinking about of?" Jin Rou smiled and said, "If you're thinking that you still have a way out other than this, I hate to break your bubble but if I wish you to die, I can easily do it without doing much. A mere ten-crown zenith isn't enough to contend against me."
The first prince gritted his teeth. It really looked like he didn't have any choice. Thus, he could only say, "Alright. I accept it. However, how would you help me by achieving my aim to become the crown prince?"
"Basically, you are already the crown prince. However, your emperor father seems to have reservations about you succeeding the throne. And it is because of the appearance of your second brother. He is the threat that you need to wipe out from this world so that you will have the throne for yourself in the near future." Jin Rou explained with a relaxed manner. Everything was going smoothly and he knew it would be the same in the next times.
"You want me to kill my younger brother?" The first prince could get the hints and understand them. He became agitated and shook his head, "That's too much! I can't bear to kill my younger brother. After all, he is still my blood brother!"
"Oh, you can't bear to kill him?" Jin Rou looked at him in the eyes, "Do you dare to swear it in front of me that you can't bear to kill him?"
The first prince was speechless. This attack was ruthless that he didn't know what to say. The eyes of the man in front of him was like a wolf that was ready to tear him down in case he said something unpleasant.
Jin Rou studied the expression of the scared prince in front of him. He chuckled and said, "I know what is hiding deep in your heart. You want your younger brother to be eliminated. If push comes to shove, you want to drag him down to hell without salvation waiting. And I'm telling you, I can help you with this little endeavor."
It was true. Deep inside his heart, he was filled with jealousy and hatred for his younger brother. All the favors have been always on him, the praises are on him. No matter what he did to be acknowledged, there was this younger brother of his who could topple him and push him down below.
It was a bitter feeling. And he wanted to erase it by killing his younger brother.
"What help?" The first prince asked.
Seeing that this prince could be easily swayed, Jin Rou then said, "Just follow my instructions and you can easily kill that brother of yours without so much effort."
The first prince gulped. He was listening attentively since he didn't want to miss a single detailed about what to do.

"Who are you?" In the deep recesses of a forest, there was a handsome man in lotus posture, gathering the power of heaven and earth. His short pink hair was fluttering by the wind as well as his black robe. He was excluding an air of nobility, capable of looking down the mortals.
Currently, he opened his eyes and looked at the unknown man that disturbed his training. He was also eminating a cold killing intent that could suffocate a person.
"Second Prince Shawn Prime, it's nice meeting you." The unknown man, who is Jin Rou, appeared out of nowhere and greeted the second prince.
After settling the matters with the first prince, he went here to proceed with the second part of his plan. It was thanks to the third prince's memories once again that he had a big clue about where to find the second prince.
"Are you an assassin?" Seeing the carefree look of Jin Rou, the second prince couldn't help but be raise his guard. He could feel that he couldn't underestimate this man or else the consequences would be very heavy.
"No, I'm actually here to give you a tip." Jin Rou smiled. He was relaxed as usual and even stretched his arms in a lazy manner.
"A tip?" The second prince's brow rised up.
"Yes, it's a vital tip that you need to be aware of." Jin Rou said.
"Then tell it to me now. Stop wasting my time." The second prince said with impatience.
"I told you, it's a vital tip. A very important information that you need to know. But you're actually thinking you can get it for free?" Jin Rou laughed a bit with mockery.
"What do you want then?" The second prince had the ability to tell if a person was lying or not. And he could see that Jin Rou had really this kind of information. He wasn't willing to let this information go so he was negotiating. If the terms were favorable or at least not outrageous, then he would accept it immediately.
"How about a treasury of gold?" Jin Rou just mindlessly thoughts of this and smiled.
"So you're after for just money?" The second prince couldn't help but look down on this man with disdain. As a cultivator, golds weren't meaningful much and could actually just be a design for them, "Sure. I can give you a treasury of gold if your information is worth that much."
"Sure. It's settled then." Jin Rou laughed as if he was very happy. In fact, he was truly happy. After all, things were going the way he wanted it to be.
Jin Rou thought that it might be harder to deal with the second prince, yet it was just easy like how he could play with the first prince. It's a pity, that something horrifying would happen and they were oblivious about it.
