"Really?" Shen Bai asked.
Prime Minister Cao nodded. "The tree that stands tallest in the forest is the one the wind will surely destroy. The Celestial Pride Hall has always been coveted by other countries. With His Majesty gravely ill on top of that, disputes are bound to arise in the future."
"Now that the Celestial Pride Hall is gone, it's a good thing in the long run. We can also avoid a lot of unwanted attention and focus on the future."
Hearing this, Shen Bai still took the bead in his hand.
Since everything was clear, Shen Bai was naturally happy to take something for free.
The bead was crushed by Shen Bai, and another ten wisps of Evil Qi emerged, which he then absorbed.
Now, with a full forty wisps of Evil Qi, Shen Bai felt like he had become rich.
"I'm off."
Prime Minister Cao was very decisive. After giving him the bead, he left directly without a backward glance.
Naturally, Shen Bai couldn't fathom the thoughts of these powerful figures.
