Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1078 - 330: The Arrogant Mr. Xue! Can the Thunder God Body Suppress the Reincarnation Divine Body? Is This Really the Result?

The Eldest Prince's Mansion.

Usually, the front of the Eldest Prince's Mansion was bustling with people and carriages, a lively scene.

However, today seems somewhat special.

The Eldest Prince's Mansion is unusually quiet.

A large number of guards are hidden around the mansion.

A luxurious carriage slowly approaches from afar and stops in front of the Eldest Prince's Mansion.

An elder, resembling a butler, quickly steps forward.

"Welcome, Your Highness, the Ninth Princess."

The owner of this carriage is none other than the recently talked-about Ninth Princess!

The Ninth Princess descends from the carriage slowly.

But she is not the only one on the carriage.

A very young-looking man also follows closely behind and descends slowly.

The butler of the Eldest Prince was wide-eyed.

A young man sharing a carriage with the Ninth Princess?

However, the butler dared not say anything.

After all, this is a matter concerning the Ninth Princess, and it's not his place as the Eldest Prince's butler to intervene.

"Your Highness, please come inside. The Eldest Prince and Third Prince are already here."

The Ninth Princess nodded slightly.

Thus, the two followed the butler into the Eldest Prince's Mansion.

Soon, they arrived at the guest hall of the Eldest Prince's Mansion.

"Swish."

As they entered the hall, several gazes fell upon the Ninth Princess and Lu Changsheng.

The guest hall was large. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The two leading figures were quite young but carried an air of heavy authority.

They were the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince.

Now that the Ninth Princess had arrived, the Eldest Prince spoke first: "Ninth Sister, you finally made it."

"After so many years, it's the first time you've set foot in my mansion, isn't it?"

The Eldest Prince and the Third Prince had both been granted titles, their positions elevated.

The other princes had not been granted titles.

This too was a reason why the Eldest Prince and Third Prince held an advantage in the struggle for succession.

However, now there was the addition of the Ninth Princess.

"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, it used to be quite difficult for me to see you both."

The Ninth Princess appeared very composed.

She walked straight over and sat in the third position.

This was her rightful place.

The Eldest Prince did not embarrass the Ninth Princess.

There was no need to.

Now, the Ninth Princess had become a formidable contender in the struggle for succession.

Using minor tactics to embarrass the Ninth Princess would only bring embarrassment to the Eldest Prince himself.

The Eldest Prince and the Third Prince evidently acknowledged the Ninth Princess's current power, recognizing her as an equal contender.

"This gentleman must be the Great Tributor Lu Changsheng from the Princess Mansion, right?"

"Lu, the Tributor truly has remarkable strength; I am impressed."

"Someone, grant him a seat!"

The Eldest Prince did not trouble Lu Changsheng and directly granted him a seat.

Evidently, the Eldest Prince also understood the current status of Lu Changsheng in the Princess Mansion.

The Ninth Princess was very satisfied.

But she knew that today's invitation from the Eldest Prince to the Third Prince and her was not merely for reminiscing, there had to be something important.

"Eldest Brother, speak plainly if there's something to discuss today."

The Ninth Princess said.

The Eldest Prince gave a deep look at the Ninth Princess, finally nodding and saying: "Very well, I'll get straight to it."

"In the struggle for succession, there were originally thirteen contenders, now there are eleven."

"But even with eleven, Ninth Sister, don't you think there are too many?"

"The Third Prince and I have discussed it for a while, and we both feel eleven is too many. Only three are needed in the struggle for succession. What is your opinion, Ninth Sister?"

The Eldest Prince's words sent a shock to the Ninth Princess's heart!

She understood what the Eldest Prince meant.

Eleven contenders were indeed too many.

Only three should remain?

This was a plan to clear the field!

If the Ninth Princess had not emerged unexpectedly, wouldn't there have been only two final contenders?

Now, because of her sudden rise, it had become three.

Yet clearing the field was no simple task.

Once the culling begins, the remaining princes might ally.

After all, news could leak, and today's plan to clear the field could become known by tomorrow.

Those princes eager for succession surely wouldn't accept it lying down.

Once they truly band together, they might even overthrow one or two princes or princesses.

Agreeing to the clearing means being prepared for retaliation from allied princes.

"What about Father..."

The Ninth Princess hesitated.

There was no issue with princes vying for succession, competing among themselves.

But now being in a rush to clear the field, clearly, there was some change within the Imperial Palace.

The Ninth Princess had recently risen.

She hadn't even succeeded in establishing her network yet, let alone have any influence within the palace.

Information from within the palace was hard for the Ninth Princess to come by.

The Eldest Prince and Third Prince were different in this regard.

Their status was exceptional.

Their mothers were also imperial consorts.

Obtaining information from within the palace was naturally easy.

The Third Prince glanced at the Ninth Princess, then said lightly: "There's news from the palace. The Emperor has caught a chill, growing weaker with each passing day. Despite the Imperial Physicians' careful treatments, he shows no sign of improvement."

"So, some preparations must be made."

The Third Prince didn't suggest that the Ninth Princess withdraw from the struggle for succession.

Because it would be meaningless.

The Ninth Princess couldn't possibly withdraw.

If she intended to, she wouldn't have waited until now.

But without including the Ninth Princess, relying only on the Eldest Prince and Third Prince working together, how could they clear the field?

If the Ninth Princess allied with other princes.

Who would end up being "cleared" would be uncertain.

Hence the need to enlist the Ninth Princess.

If the three join forces, the clearing could be executed flawlessly.

Above all, it boils down to two words.

Strength!
