C272 Heaven and Earth

"Just that, if Li Chengrui is really my royal brother, why wouldn't he admit it? After all these years, why haven't you come to see us? " Xuanyuan Chen said with a bit of grievance.

"Maybe he has a reason?" Xie Qingrong consoled.

Xuanyuan Chen frowned and ordered: "Ying Yi, go investigate!"

The clues from back then were almost completely destroyed, but there were always places that he had missed. He wanted to know who exactly Li Chengrui was, why he looked exactly like Xuanyuan Rui, and even his conduct and habits were exactly the same as Xuanyuan Rui's!

Why did Li Chengrui want to help Xuanyuan Jing out in the first place? Why did they approach Zhangsun Wenyan? Why did he appear in front of Zhangsun Wenyan again after vanishing without a trace?

He had to investigate everything thoroughly!

For the next half month, Shadow One had been hiding beside Li Chengrui, and he was able to clearly record all of the people Li Chengrui had met and done in this half month.

Furthermore, he had thoroughly investigated the background of Li Chengrui's family.

After Xuanyuan Chen received Shadow Record Li Chengrui's word for word, he began to read through the records in the booklet word by word.

The more he continued to read, the more excited Xuanyuan Chen became, until he had finished reading the entire booklet.

Xie Qingrong patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, and asked softly: "How is it?"

Xuanyuan Chen scooped up Xie Qingrong's long arm, scooped Xie Qingrong into his embrace and hugged her tightly, his nervous and emotional emotions rolling up and down.

His voice trembled a little, but it was hard to conceal the excitement and happiness within: "A Rong, as your royal brother, I can't be wrong."

Xie Qingrong said softly: Chen, do what you want.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen nodded heavily.

He wanted to find his royal brother and ask him about it. He wanted to know everything!

When Li Chengrui received Xuanyuan Chen's invitation card, he looked at the few words on the gold-plated invitation card and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, he still headed to Prince Chen's Mansion alone to fulfill his promise.

Butler Meng followed Xuanyuan Chen's orders and waited for him at the entrance of the Prince Chen's Mansion. However, when Li Chengrui appeared, Butler Meng saw the exact same face as the previous crown prince and couldn't help but stare blankly for a long time.

When he regained his senses, he realised that he had lost his composure in front of an outsider, and apologetically brought Li Chengrui into the hall.

Xuanyuan Chen stood with his hands behind his back and his back facing the door of the hall.

After Li Chengrui sat down, when the Butler Meng served the tea, he looked at Li Chengrui carefully once more. Only then did he leave the space for Xuanyuan Chen and Li Chengrui.

"Young Master Li, please have some tea." Xuanyuan Chen covered up his nervous and emotional state of mind, but he had a serious expression on his face as he spoke unhurriedly.

Li Chengrui held onto the teacup by his side, but did not take a sip.

On the way to his appointment, he had already sensed something.

For the past few days, he had always felt like he was being watched, but the guards around him didn't notice him at all, so he could only blame himself for being too careless.

However, Xuanyuan Chen's actions were indeed strange, could it be that he noticed something?

Thinking about that, Li Chengrui frowned.

Xuanyuan Chen was constantly watching Li Chengrui's every move, and when he saw Li Chengrui's frown, he felt a little uneasy.

"What's wrong? Is the tea not to Young Master Li's liking? " Xuanyuan Chen asked.

Li Chengrui laughed and denied it: "Smelling the fragrance of the tea makes one's mind carefree and relaxed. This humble subject guesses that it should be Jadeite Spring. It's just that this commoner doesn't understand why the Prince Chen has suddenly invited this commoner to come to the Prince Chen's Mansion for a chat. "

Xuanyuan Chen's expression remained indifferent, but his hand was tightly holding onto the teacup, "Actually, there is one thing that I did not know when I called Young Master Li over, I hope Young Master Li can give me a satisfactory answer."

"Oh?" Li Chengrui asked: "The Prince Chen is intelligent, and has a high position, how can there be a question that needs this commoner to answer?"

Xuanyuan Chen knew that Li Chengrui was not even willing to give him a single strand of definite answer, so why was this so?

From the intelligence Ying Yi presented, Li Chengrui's family background was pure and did not have any flaws, but it was too perfect, and there must be some flaws that others did not know about.

However, he was not willing to fight with Li Chengrui anymore. No matter now, or today, he had to confirm whether this person was his most respected and beloved royal brother, Xuanyuan Rui or not.

"Young Master Li, if you are an open man and do not speak in secret, can you give me a definite answer? You …" Are you really this king's royal brother, the former crown prince of Heavenly Sage Kingdom, Xuanyuan Rui? "

Xuanyuan Chen stared fixedly at Li Chengrui, not willing to miss a single expression on his face.

As expected, the smile on Li Chengrui's lips faded, he pursed his lips and did not say a word.

Lowering his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the emotions that flashed past Li Chengrui's eyes. It was a feeling of helplessness after his identity had been discovered.

The hand holding the teacup tightened and loosened. The atmosphere became a little awkward.

However, neither of them wanted to be the one who spoke first.

Finally, after a long period of silence, Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have lost first.

Xuanyuan Chen lowered his head, the expression in the depths of his eyes could not be seen, and his upright back seemed to collapse at this moment.

Li Chengrui looked at Xuanyuan Chen whose entire body was filled with a black aura, and suddenly laughed softly, taunting him a little: "It's been so many years since we last met, Chen Er, why are you still so impatient?"

Xuanyuan Chen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and then, as if he had noticed that he had lost control of himself, he retracted the shocked expression on his face, but the depths of his eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

"Royal brother, is it really you?" Xuanyuan Chen asked with uncertainty.

"Yes." Li Chengrui replied with a faint smile.

Xuanyuan Chen suddenly stood up, wanting to walk in Li Chengrui's direction, but immediately retracted his foot that had just taken a step forward.

He also didn't know why his heart would have the thought of not daring to get close to the person in front of him.

He seemed to have forgotten that he had already grown up. He was no longer the Demon King of Confusion that was famous throughout the capital, nor was he the famous War God on the battlefield.

He clearly possessed the ability to remain calm while his temperament was calm and unhurried. When the sky collapsed, he would remain unmoved.

However, why was it that in front of his royal brother, he was always the naughty and mischievous little demon king. He needed his royal brother to always keep an eye on him and clean up his mess.

Li Chengrui's eyes were filled with smiles, they were filled with gentleness and tolerance, and he said extremely gently: "Chen Er, you have already become an indomitable man. There is no longer a need for royal brother to keep his promise. "

Xuanyuan Chen shook his head with all his might, his gaze filled with respect and admiration, as a glint of water seemed to flash past his eyes.
